Chapter 224: The Incense Pavilion opened the door to accept guests, and met the crazy old man halfway
The final location of the Incense Pavilion was not located in the bustling middle of the city. Purple O Pavilion ioge
Su Baitong chose a quiet alley in the east of the city, the shop is not big, a shopkeeper and two guys can deal with it, but the backyard of the incense shop is extremely spacious.
Ling Xiaotian took down all the courtyards on the left and right sides of the incense shop and opened them up, except for the elegant room and warehouse for receiving ** dependents. There are still several empty rooms.
Su Baitong specially prepared a room, and when Haitang arrived in Beijing, he could live here.
The plaque given by the emperor, even if the corner is remote, but it was still very lively when it opened, and many high-gate mansions in the city were informed in advance, and they were all curious about how the big **** of Sufu who was summoned by the emperor would make incense.
Unlike other incense shops, the incense pavilion does not sell rouge gouache and other things, but it can customize spices according to the requirements of the guests, and the price is expensive.
At first, only a few ladies tried one out of curiosity.
As a result, one of the ladies used spices at a **** banquet won the eldest princess's favorite, and then the eldest princess specially invited the lady to the house as a guest, only to make the eyes of others envious.
In addition, there is Gonggong Jia in the palace to take care of it. The concubines of the harem knew about the incense pavilion early on, and the spices they customized were even more expensive.
Su Baitong was also unceremonious in asking for the price.
They just have nowhere to use the money in the palace, they just eat and dress up every day, in order to please the emperor, even if they spend more money, they are willing.
Therefore, even if there is nothing for sale on the incense pavilion shop, the daily income is still very considerable.
Hui Xiang looked at the amount of input in the daily ledger. Jaw-dropping, "Little ......****." The slave is not mistaken......"
Su Baitong fiddled with the abacus with his hand, "You have the kung fu to be stunned here, it's better to learn how to calculate accounts." ”
Huixiang had a bitter face, "The slave has a headache when she sees these things, so let's wait for Begonia to come and let her count." ”
Su Baitong raised his head: "Where is Begonia now?" ”
Hui Xiang said: "I received a letter from her before, saying that Chen Gong was coming to Beijing on an errand, and I happened to pick her up on the way, and the letter also said that Mrs. Chen had prepared a lot of gifts for you, which was enough to load a carriage...... "Shang Shi skills."
Huixiang chirped, and her excitement was beyond words.
Su Baitong just smiled faintly and glanced out the window, "It's not early, we should go back too." ”
The incense pavilion had just opened, and she had to come to the store every day to keep an eye on it. The shopkeeper and the guy all came for her **, although she never asked in detail, but she knew that these three people were definitely Ling Xiaotian's people.
King Xian was quiet for a long time after the incident of Fengyue Tower, and he didn't even show up when the Incense Pavilion opened, which really made her feel strange.
The Marquis of Anqing Mansion has recently had a marriage with great fanfare, and it is advertised everywhere that their little marquis is going to marry the secretary of the ministry, Su Xiruo, the second son of Lord Su.
The two families did not make it clear to the outside world, but a discerning person knew at a glance that there must be something hidden in it.
Otherwise, a good and dignified girl**, who is not deaf or dumb, why would she marry a fool?
Hei punctually brought the carriage to the Incense Pavilion to pick her up.
Su Baitong got into the car and asked Huixiang to call Hei into the car, and asked him casually while distributing the candied fruit on the plate.
"What's going on in the house today?" When she was not in Su Mansion, Hei paid attention to Xing's movements everywhere, even if the marriage in Su Mansion was decided. She couldn't let her guard down either.
Because people like Xing are in a hurry, they can do anything.
Hei stuffed a piece of candied fruit in his mouth and said, "Mrs. ** embroidered the girl came to the house, it seems that she wants to make wedding clothes for the second ****." ”
Su Baitong stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of candied fruit, and said slowly: "Did the Anqing Marquis Mansion say when the wedding date will be set?" ”
Because the little marquis is a fool, the Anqing Marquis Mansion doesn't want to follow the normal marriage at all, they just want to carry people into the mansion as soon as possible.
Black Shake, "I haven't heard of it, but I listened to the maid ** next to the second **** talking about it, saying that the second **** was crying all day long, and he refused to even eat, saying that he was going on a hunger strike or something......"
It's not easy to die, just hang the beam, or throw yourself into the pond in the back garden.
Su Xiruo did this just to threaten the Xing family.
But now whether to marry or not is no longer up to her.
In the past, she could still have Su Mingtang, her father, to support her, but because of the involvement of the official embezzlement case, in recent days, the twists and turns of the imperial historians in the DPRK and China have fallen on the emperor's dragon book case like an avalanche.
Every time I go to the morning court, several officials of the Criminal Department are ****, and twice they are taken down by the guards on the side of the palace and sent to prison.
The officials of the various ministries walked on thin ice one by one, and they didn't even dare to take a breath when they were in the palace.
Su Mingtang clamped his tail in advance because he had been reminded by the Scarlet King before, so even if he received the **** fold, he just lowered his head and didn't dare to explain half a sentence.
And other colleagues are not so lucky, a few of them heard that they were **** and immediately went to the palace to inquire about the acquaintances of the officials, but they didn't expect that the next day the familiar officials were affected by him, some were punished, and some were also involved in the case of greedy ink, and they were too busy to take care of themselves.
The situation between the DPRK and China was chaotic all of a sudden, and everyone was in danger, and no one dared to talk nonsense for fear of being dragged in.
Therefore, the marriage between the Marquis of Anqing and the Su Mansion, even if people think it is strange, but no one dares to say anything, and no one dares to mention it in front of Su Mingtang.
Su Baitong was talking to Hei when the carriage suddenly shook and stopped suddenly.
"You old fellow, do you have panting eyes!" Outside, the coachman's invective sounded.
Because of the shaking just now, the candied fruit on the low table was scattered everywhere.
"What's going on?" Su Baitong asked.
Huixiang picked up the curtain of the car and stretched her head in, "A crazy old man suddenly came over on the road just now, and he almost hit ......****, are you okay?" ”
Su Baitong shook his head.
But the carriage did not go any further, and the coachman outside shouted loudly, one voice louder than the other.
Because this is the carriage of the Su Mansion, and the people who drive the carriage are also the coachmen of the Su Mansion.
Su Baitong pulled the corner of the curtain and looked out: I saw a gray-bearded old man lying on the pavement of the street, although his head was tied, but it had not been re-combed for more than ten days, and it was all loose.
The coachman was scolding and telling him to dodge the road, but the old man was lying in the middle of the street, and he didn't even raise his eyes.
Su Baitong glanced at the old man and said in a low voice, "Huixiang, let the coachman change the way." ”
She was in no hurry anyway, for since the man was in the middle of the road, they could not drive the carriage past each other.
Su Baitong has never wanted to be strong.
The coachman listened to her and reluctantly returned to the car.
Just when Su Baitong was about to put down the curtain, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, and the moment he saw her, his eyes lit up, and he jumped up with a quick movement......
