Chapter 5 Buying Congratulatory Gifts

After saying that, he immediately escaped into the beads. Duanmu is convinced that someone is coming, although this obscene old man usually likes to fool people, but this has never deceived him, every time he is alone with the old man, as long as someone wants to approach, the old man can find out in advance and hide in the beads. Duanmu hurriedly put the beads into his arms, continued to lie on the grass, and hummed a little song.

Sure enough, after a while, "Sha... Sha" A burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and a young man in light blue servant clothes was running over to this side, "Crazy young master, crazy young master, the seventh lady called you back, why did you come here again" The young man ran to the front sweating profusely, sat down with his ass, and said while wiping his sweat "Ouch, I'm tired to death"

"Look at you, Xiao Lizi, do you know what my mother called me?" Duanmu asked as he spit out the grass in his mouth.

Xiao Lizi's name is Li Yang, the son of a small steward in Duanmu Mansion, he grew up in Duanmu Mansion since he was a child, everyone affectionately calls him Little Lizi, and Li Yang has been clever since he was a child, so he was sent to Duanmu Crazy as a follower.

Li Yang said, "Crazy young master, tomorrow is the 82nd birthday of the head of the family, the old man, the seventh lady wants to ask you if you have prepared a congratulatory gift? โ€

Duanmu couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard this, last year when his grandfather was about to celebrate his birthday, it happened that he was at the critical juncture when he broke through to the ninth level of the eightfold physical realm, because he was diligent in cultivation, he forgot about the congratulatory gift, and it was indeed a big joke at that time.

"I must prepare a good congratulatory gift for my grandfather this year"

Duanmu Madness said secretly, a carp stiffened, Duanmu Madness stood up and said, "Let's go, wait for me to go back to change my clothes and go to Fang City" After speaking, he picked up his clothes and ran towards Duanmu Mansion first. "Crazy young master, wait for me, wait for me..."

Back at the house, Duanmu changed his clothes, took out the hidden private money and counted it, good guy, there were more than five hundred taels of silver.

On the mainland, the system of currency was that 100 copper coins were equal to one tael of silver, and one hundred taels of silver was equal to one tael of gold. Further up is the Yuan Stone, Yuan Stone, as the name suggests, is a kind of stone bred in the vein of heaven and earth, mined out and polished into a granular shape, with a unit of grain, and according to the concentration of the Yuan Stone containing the vitality of heaven and earth is divided into four grades, the middle grade, the upper grade, the best grade, the ratio between the grades is based on 100 units, for example, 100 lower grade Yuan Stone is equal to a medium grade Yuan Stone, 100 medium grade is equal to a top grade, and 100 top grade is equal to a top grade. Yuan Stone can be absorbed by martial artists for cultivation or to restore vitality, and is only circulated among high-level martial artists.

Ordinary people use gold, silver and copper as the currency in circulation, and the annual expenses of an ordinary family are only about ten taels of silver, five hundred taels of silver, which is also a huge amount of money, Duanmu smiled with satisfaction, pointed out three hundred taels of them in his arms, and hid the rest of the money, then beckoned Li Yang to go out and go to Fang City.

Fang market, built in the center of the town, surrounded by walls on all sides, leaving only a few doors for people to enter and exit, at this time it is noon, the flow of people at the door is endless, and the bluestone plaque above the door, carved with two ancient characters of Fang City.

As soon as you enter it, walk on the clean street, look around, the rows of shops are neatly connected into a straight line, horizontally and vertically located in the market, and on the street, there are a lot of stalls, the street is crowded, along the way, the shouts of the stall owners, the counter-offer of the guests are connected into a piece, the sound is like a tide, extremely lively.

"Crazy young master, which store are we going to?" Li Yang couldn't help but ask when he saw Duanmu Madness walking straight all the way without the slightest intention of stopping.

"Dynasty Chamber of Commerce" Duanmu frantically responded, Li Yang shrunk his neck after hearing this, "Ah! Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, I haven't been in yet, but I heard people say that the things there are ridiculously expensive, and today I can finally go in and open my eyes." After Li Yang finished speaking, he looked excited again.

"Young Master Ben is now buying a congratulatory gift for my grandfather, do you just buy something at the stall? If you want to buy it, you must buy it, and if you want to buy good things, you must go to the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, but I haven't been in this Imperial Chamber of Commerce, just go in and have a look, look at your little interest, don't you just enter a Chamber of Commerce, are you happy to be like that?" Looking at Li Yang's appearance, Duanmu couldn't cry or laugh.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Li Yang, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, opened by the royal family of the Tianxing Dynasty, headquartered in the imperial capital, with branches throughout the Tianxing Dynasty, is the largest chamber of commerce in the Tianxing Dynasty, even a small town like Nanling Town also has its branches, the influence can be imagined, coupled with its background, I heard that it is those princes and nobles, and they dare not make trouble in the Imperial Chamber of Commerce at will, and the Imperial Chamber of Commerce is a high-grade commodity, without a certain net worth, and even has no qualifications to enter, for ordinary people, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, that is just a legendใ€‚

Li Yang is just the son of a subordinate of the Duanmu family, if there is no accident, he will never have a chance to enter in his life, and now he hears Duanmu madness say that he is going to the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, how can he not be excited?

After walking for a while, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce appeared in front of me, only to see that it was three floors high, more than several times larger than the store next to it, and the hanging plaque was inlaid with four big characters of "Imperial Chamber of Commerce" with gilding, and under the illumination of the sun, it flashed with dazzling golden light, exuding a majestic momentum.

Compared with the surging flow of people in other shops, there are only a few figures in twos and threes, either richly dressed in rich clothes, or warriors carrying guns and swords. It's just that they don't have the usual pride on their faces, and even when they look at the clerk at the door, they have a kind smile.

"Let's go, go in and see" Duanmu Mad put his hands behind his back and strode forward, only to see him walking with his head held high, with a slightly immature face, with a hint of evil smile, and his follower Li Yang followed closely behind him.

Stepping into the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, rows of neat shelves are displayed in front of you, and the shelves are full of all kinds of goods, martial arts, mental methods, weapons, medicinal materials, gems, pills... Wait, everything, here, there is only what you can't think of, there is nothing you can't buy, but there is a premise, you have to have money.

Because of the goods placed here, each piece is expensive, ordinary people can't afford to buy one of them even if they are bankrupt, Duanmu Maniac even saw a pair of women's pads spun with celestial silk on a shelf, and the price was 1,000 taels of silver.

โ€œ...... This thing also has to be sold? It's also a thousand taels, it's not just expensive, it's just a robbery" Duanmu madness scolded secretly at the same time, and couldn't help but be a little depressed, originally thought that it was more than enough to bring three hundred taels of silver, but now I found out that it was not the case, looking at the various goods on the shelves, Duanmu madness was also dazzled, and I didn't know where to start.

As for Li Yang, he was shrinking his neck, looking cautiously around, looking very restrained.

"This son, welcome to the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, do you need any help?" Just as Duanmu was hesitating, a female clerk walked over, only to see that she had a baby face and a professional smile on her face.

"Tomorrow is the birthday of my ancestor, I want to buy a congratulatory gift for the elderly, and please ask you to introduce me to one or two. Duanmu said wildly.

"Hehe, it turned out to be a birthday gift for the elders, son, you are really filial, please come with me" After the female clerk finished speaking, she led Duanmu to walk around and introduced them one by one. Duanmu Maniac finally chose an old ginseng, paid on the counter, and left satisfied.
