Chapter 39: Distress Outside the Palace

Yan Xiaoliu's hanging heart finally sank, and he said with a smile on his face: "The son has praised him, the villain is not talented, and he will only be a shopkeeper." ”

"It's just..." He Xuan raised his head, stared at Yan Xiaoliu's face, and said with a smile, "It would be better to decorate the store a little, for example, some elegant plants, and some decorations can be hung on the wall." ”

Cai Wenxuan immediately nodded and said to Yan Xiaoliu: "Just do what this son says!" Let's go, you take us to see the private room upstairs. ”

"No." Yan Xiaoliu replied meticulously, and then took these two noble sons to the second floor from the stairs behind the entrance on the right.

He Xuan looked at it while walking, compared to the narrow and oppressive on the first floor, the private room on the second floor was really open and bright. From time to time, a breeze blows in from the outside along the window, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

"These private rooms on the second floor have a very good environment, and then put some exquisite ornaments to match some of the more noble guests." Speaking with Xuan, Yan Xiaoliu listened carefully.

Although Yan Xiaoliu's name is Xiaoliu, he is not young at all, at least forty years old. He was not only experienced, but also old-fashioned, and he immediately saw that the young master Cai of the Prime Minister's Mansion was obedient to this unidentified elegant son, so he seriously wrote down everything He Xuan said.

The opening day of the Le Bin Building is set for tomorrow, that is, the birthday day. On such a day of universal celebration, the common people have come out to celebrate, which is extremely suitable for opening and tailoring.

He Xuan naturally didn't have the blessing to witness the opening of his restaurant with his own eyes, so he carefully instructed Yan Xiaoliu before leaving slowly.

"Cousin, tell the carriage to go first, I want to go around here." He Xuan, who walked out of the door, saw that Yan Xiaoliu had returned to the restaurant to clean up, so he said to Cai Wenxuan.

"There is a mixed flow of people here, cousin, if you have three long and two short, I can't explain it to my family!" Cai Wenxuan lowered his voice and said, with a touch of helplessness on his face.

"It's not like I haven't been to Suzaku Street, cousin, when did you become such a mother-in-law! I'm just trying to walk around, all for the sake of the restaurant's business. He Xuan glanced at Cai Wenxuan and said in a low voice.

Cai Wenxuan smiled helplessly, waved his sleeves, sent the coachman, and then said to Hexuan: "Okay, good, listen to you." ”

The restaurant is located on a corner with a quiet street on one side and a quiet street on the other.

He Xuan pointed to the path suspiciously, and asked, "Why is this road so quiet, it seems that there are no vendors?" ”

"This is called Luwei Alley, and the vendors are concentrated on both sides of Suzaku Street, and there is naturally no Luwei Alley. Walking along the alley for a while, there are some residents. Cai Wenxuan patiently explained.

"I see!" He muttered, his eyes unable to tell what he was thinking.

Cai Wenxuan explained, "So the rent here is not expensive. If it is really at the intersection of two major roads, the rent is really not cheap. Yan Xiaoliu said that for the sake of insurance, it is better to be in such a place. ”

Only then did He Xuan realize that his cousin would be wrong, and hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, cousin, I am very satisfied with the location of this store, the rent is low, and the money to be paid on each customer is not so much, which is very good!" All thanks to my cousin! ”

"Haha, where is it, the family doesn't have to be polite." Cai Wenxuan touched the back of his head with his hand, and was suddenly praised by He Xuan, a little embarrassed.

"Cousin, let's go to the herb shop over there!" He Xuan pointed to a shop not far away, and the plaque on it read "Cheng Dexing" in large letters.

Cai Wenxuan glanced in the direction of He Xuan's finger, and immediately said with a smile: "It turned out to be Chengdexing, this is the first medicinal herb shop among the people, it is said that their ancestors were taught by the Lieshan clan, and they have branches in large and small vassal states." ”

"Is it the medicine king who is said to have tasted a hundred herbs?" Ruolan, who was following along, heard Cai Wenxuan's words and asked curiously.

"Well, that's it. However, this medicine king is an ancient legend, whether it is true or false, and who can know? Cai Wenxuan nodded, and then sighed unconsciously.

He Xuan walked forward and said seriously: "The important thing is not whether it is true or false, as long as the price of the medicine sold in this shop is fair and can cure diseases and save people, how about quoting the legends of the ancients." ”

The beams of Cheng De Xing are tall, and some sit in the north and face south, and as soon as people walk in, they feel that this room is very bright and open.

The inside is divided into two sides, one side has a neat wall medicine cabinet, and in front of it is a director about 30 years old who is responsible for catching medicine. On the other side there is a small room with a doctor.

He Xuan followed Mrs. Wang for a while, picked up a few herbs that he had just memorized, and asked the price of the main thing, and he had an idea of the price of medicine in Luoyi.

After casually shopping for about a cup of tea, the group walked out of the gate of Cheng Dexing, and said in a low voice: "Cousin, since my Lebin Building is a vegetable business, why don't you take me to the vegetable market near here to have a look." ”

"Huh? I vaguely remember that the housekeeper in Cai's house said that if you go south along Suzaku Street, turn right, and the whole alley of Qingping Lane is full of market vendors. Cai Wenxuan scratched his head and said while thinking.

However, he immediately retorted: "Cousin, you are noble, you can't go to such a low-ranking place, even I have never been there. ”

I don't know why, after being reborn, He Xuan doesn't like to listen to this kind of talk the most, and his face has become unpleasant.

She said in an almost commanding tone: "What is there to go, the common people are not going to go in and out of the vegetable market every day." As a princess, do you have to be timid as a mouse, afraid of the east and the west? Lead the way! ”

Cai Wenxuan obeyed his cousin's words, and when he saw that he couldn't refute it, he had to stubbornly walk towards Qingping Lane.

Qingping Lane is indeed a place where market vendors gather, not to mention the narrow road, and the ground is covered with all kinds of rotten vegetable leaves and sewage. Compared to the spacious and clean Suzaku Street, it is like two worlds.

"Princess... Are you sure we're going to that kind of place? Qing'er looked at the crowd of people not far away, crowded and noisy like ants, timidly pulled Hexuan's sleeves, and whispered in Hexuan's ear.

He Xuan looked at the appearance of this clever little girl at the moment, felt pity, patted her hand comfortingly, and said, "Don't be afraid, let's just go and take a look, and come out soon." ”

Seeing this, Qing'er had no choice but to nod and follow forward reluctantly.

Qingping Lane has only a very narrow path in the middle for people to walk, and on both sides are all kinds of vegetables and fruits placed on the shelves of the vendors. As far as the eye can see, there are green celery, wild camellia, round peas, fresh mushrooms, red and bright tomatoes...

Cai Wenxuan protected in front of He Xuan, blocking oncoming pedestrians for her. He Xuan has never been to such a place, looking left and right, and asking about the price from time to time.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell these apricots?" He Xuan looked at the scattered apricots on the shelf, and asked in a thick voice.

The man in the coarse linen coat immediately nodded and greeted him, and said enthusiastically: "Oh, this guest officer, you are here, these are all just picked from the tree, ten copper coins a tael, can you come some?" ”

"Ten copper coins are only one or two? What a fool! You're running a black shop, aren't you? When Qing'er heard this, she immediately scolded unrelentingly: "The things on other people's stalls are only five copper coins at most!" ”

The man with a big waist and a round waist was scolded by such a group of heads, his face was also red, and he gasped and said: "We are an honest man who grows crops, and we dare not deceive the guest officials, this year's spring is cold, many apricot blossoms are frozen to death, and there are few fruits, so we can't help it." ”

He Xuan raised his eyebrows, stared at the shopkeeper and said, "According to what you said, if it is cold in spring, won't all vegetables and fruits be seedled?" ”

The implication of this is to say, why are they all suffering, and your things are so expensive.

The man explained helplessly: "Look at the dress of several guest officers, they should all be the sons of rich and noble families!" You don't know, compared to other melons and fruits, apricots are squeamish, and they can't stand the cold. To tell you the truth, although the price has gone up, we still have a lot of losses. Otherwise, you buy five taels, and I'll give you one more! ”

"I see!" Cai Wenxuan sighed, the eldest young master's kindness was great, and he asked the little guy who followed him to buy all the apricots on the stall.

The stout man was so excited that he was about to cry, and he couldn't stop thanking him, and he deliberately walked out from behind the stall, ready to send these rich guest officers out.

The group walked from Qingping Lane to the direction of Suzaku Street, talking and laughing, and Qing'er and Xiaowu were still eating the apricots they had just bought.

"Be careful!" A call of harmony shocked everyone.

He Xuan looked around fiercely, and saw a tall horse on the right running straight forward, the horse's hooves had been cocked in front of her, and it was about to step on her white face, and it was too late to hide.

said that it was too late, but it was too fast, and I saw a black figure, flashing with a brush, and vigorously pulled away the He Xuan who was stunned in front of the horse.

The horse galloped towards the north side of Suzaku Street, and there was no one at once.

Before He Xuan could recover from the fright, he saw the man in black say something to the attendant next to him, and the attendant immediately chased after the frenzied horse.

Cai Wenxuan didn't see the horse just now, and he was holding several apricots in his hand, so he came back to his senses at this moment, and hurriedly checked Hexuan's safety up and down.

After instructing the attendants, the man in black hurriedly walked up to He Xuan, bowed his hand and said, "This son is frightened, are you okay?" ”
