Chapter 22: Qin Daoran in the Beijing Tea House (1)
After two months like this, the Changzhou ship finally arrived in Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou, Luo, Luo Shiqing is already familiar with the road, it should be done as usual, and the warehouse official socialized for a few days, and then there was nothing to do, busy handing over the private goods to the merchants who received the ship, or trading with the tooth to sell their own private goods, and collecting leather goods, wheat beans and other northern goods, and selling them back in the south.
Qi Qiang was about to go to the capital to sell tea, and Luo Shiqing also wanted to collect some Beijing goods, so he took two of his subordinates, together with the two brothers and sisters, and rode to the capital.
Although Qi Suniang is not the first time to enter Beijing, she has been detained in the palace, and it is inconvenient to go out in Zhang Pengxi's mansion, so she doesn't know anything about the scenery of the capital.
Qi Qiang is very familiar with the capital, and when he enters Chaoyangmen, it is a street of rice, wheat, and beans warehouses.
The capital is divided into inside and outside, there is an imperial city in the inner city, and there is a forbidden city in the imperial city. Those warehouses and pawnshops with large businesses are front shops and back warehouses, with three or four entrances, cars and horses, and dozens of houses.
Qi Qiang walked all the way to Dongzhimen Street, and entered a big tea Zhuangzi called "Shun Qinglong", behind the ebony counter, the old shopkeeper was wearing a black silk dark blessing robe, wearing a melon skin hat with black gauze and blue brocade, smoking a hookah, and when he looked up, he came in, showing a little joy on his face.
Qi Qiang whispered a few words to him, and the old shopkeeper turned his head and made a gesture, and a man in a short robe of Qingshuo led the black lacquered carriage out of the side door. The wheels of the carriage were very large, the carriage was small and solid, and the carved windows were open, although it was inconspicuous, but it was not for ordinary people.
Qi Qiang threw the tea bag in his hand on the counter and said with a smile: "Come back and count the money." Then he pointed to Qi Su Niang and said, "This is my sister-in-law, sit here at the shopkeeper for a while, and take care of it." He turned his head and said to Su Niang: "Sister, I'll go out and I'll be back in half an hour." You can wait here with peace of mind, and find the shopkeeper if you have something. ”
Qi Su Niang could only nod, seeing him get into the car and rush towards the imperial city, she felt a little uneasy. A guy on the side led her to the backyard, the paper-shaped horse building was three stories high, each room was full of goods, the guys were busy upstairs and downstairs, and the carriage was constantly going back and forth in the three side doors.
The guide man sat down in a guest room, served tea, and sent small snacks such as steamed buns with sugar, water chestnut cakes, and milk wuta, and then withdrew.
Qi Su Niang has grown a lot of insight on the ship, knowing that the tea house business is mostly in the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the head of internal affairs is now the prince's milk father, Ling Pu, but his luck is not so bad, Shun Qinglong's business is so big, there is no hard backstage, where can he open in the capital? It's just that she is not familiar with life, so she doesn't dare to take one more step, so she has to wait in the house.
Fortunately, Qi Qiang came back in less than half an hour, took down a few burdens from the carriage, seemed to be some leather goods, and said with a smile: "I'll let you earn again." After counting the tea money on the counter, and whispering to the old shopkeeper for a while, he beckoned Qi Su Niang to leave.
Qi Su Niang breathed a sigh of relief and followed Qi Qiang out of the tea house. Qi Qiang smiled: "Sister, the flower party in the capital is not bad at this time. The begonias in Longfu Temple and the lilacs in Fayuan Temple are all famous, and my brother will take you to go shopping. ”
Qi Su Niang was full of joy and nodded again and again, "I have long heard that the temple fair in Longfu Temple is lively. Brother, we are ...... in the capital" Suddenly, the horse's hooves behind him sounded sharply, Qi Qiang and Qi Su Niang looked at it at the same time, and it was actually a dozen or so high-headed horses carrying saber guards in official uniforms and hats galloping from the other side of the imperial city, and entered the Shunqinglong Tea House in a blink of an eye.
Qi Qiang frowned, and pulled Qi Su Niang to the east of the city, Qi Su Niang was surprised, she was used to seeing those people's dresses, and she was clearly a slave of the Manchu prince's family with grades, knowing that it was not a good thing, she hurriedly followed.
The two ran for a while, seeing that no one was chasing after them, so they wanted to take a breath, Qi Su Niang saw the crowd in front of them at a glance, and four or five men slowly squeezed over, although they did not wear a knife, they were also official slaves with a clear demeanor, and immediately pulled Qi Qiang and said: "Brother, there is someone over there." ”
Qi Qiang glanced at it, his face was gloomy, and he dragged Qi Su Niang into a dark alley, taught her to squat in the corner, pile up the burden beside her, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, sister, my brother will lead them away, and I will come to you when I turn around." After that, he didn't wait for Qi Su Niang to speak, turned around and walked away.
Qi Su Niang was anxious in her heart, but she could only hide it, so as not to drag Qi Qiang down, but she didn't expect that it didn't take more than half a pillar of incense to hear footsteps, she didn't have time to rejoice, she looked up, her heart was cold, but it was the prince guard who had seen the four tea houses before.
The four people didn't say much, lifted the three burdens around her, made a hand gesture, and waited for Qi Suniang to stand up slowly, then escorted her out of the dark alley, got into the carriage at the entrance of the alley, and still headed for the tea house.
The four of them are all banner people, and they say a few words in Manchu from time to time, Qi Su Niang also learned a little in the palace, but she couldn't hear clearly, she only knew that Qi Qiang was in trouble.
The carriage stopped at the tea house, and Qi Su Niangfang was about to enter, but she heard a familiar voice and smiled: "Old man, the tea ordered by the fourteenth master, but it has arrived?" Qi Su Niang couldn't help but turn around and look, and took a look at the man, which startled the man and shouted, "Miss Qi, why are you here?" "But it's Fu Yourong, the eunuch next to the fourteenth elder brother.
