After making some water to drink in the tea shop, the brother and sister got back on the road with some uneasiness, and after walking for a long time, they saw Wang Qinian coming to pick up their carriage. The identity of the other party is here, and looking at the expression is a little strange, the emotion is not very high, Wang Qinian naturally does not dare to say anything.

"Why is the Holy Lord here?" Fan Ruoruo leaned on the carriage, fanning his slightly sweaty face with a handkerchief, looking extremely cute.

Fan Xian replied with a wry smile: "Our majesty has always lived in a simple place, I have long expected that how can a man stay in the palace full of palace grievances for many years, he will definitely come out often to relax, and it is also natural to come to the bank of the Liujing River." It's just that it was a little fun before, and I always thought that the master of the palace would call him Master Huang. ”

Fan Ruoruo smiled and said, "Where can everything be like the story told by my brother, if this is the case, you should have opened a storytelling shop a long time ago." ”

Speaking of the storytelling shop, Fan Xian immediately thought of the tofu shop, frowned and asked, "Ruoruo, what are you going to do in the future?" Fan Ruoruo's god is gloomy, now in this year, after a woman gets married, she is a husband and a son embroidered in the backyard, with Ruoruo's knowledge and ability, if you spend your life like this, I am afraid that you will be a little unwilling.

It's just that I can't do much planning at the moment, so I have to do it for the time being.

After entering Beijing, the carriage went straight to Twenty-eight Miles. This 28-mile slope is not a big hillside, just a famous place name in the south of Beijing, it is said that hundreds of years ago, Kyoto is far from being as wide as it is now, 28-mile slope is the last section of the hillside before entering Beijing, there are 28 miles from the last post station on the official road in the southwest direction, whenever the carriage and horses arrive here, the last 28 miles of the road, the horses are tired and tired, and the last section of the hillside is seen as taller than the Dadong Mountain on the seaside. This is where the name of the twenty-eight lipo comes from.

Today's Twenty-Eight Miles Slope has long been received into the city wall and turned into a street, but the name is still retained, and Qingyutang is located here. The carriage stopped far away, Fan Xian and his sister walked down, walked down the street, and saw a neat row of small facades along the road, all of which were cheap wood transported from Lingnan, with varnish on it, and the wood spots were clear.

Fan Xian was taken aback, and asked curiously: "Why do you use this?" This method was commonly used in the small restaurant in his previous life, and the log feeling of clear water was cheap and refreshing.

Wang Qinian shook his head, he was not a businessman. Fan Ruoruo explained: "This is Qingyu Hall, each door is the place where a big shopkeeper teaches his apprentices, and there are seventeen rooms for seventeen shopkeepers. Fan Xian counted and found that there were more than 20 such small houses on the side of the street, and asked his sister why this was, Fan Ruoruo said angrily: "After many years, there are always some shopkeepers who are old and have begun to support their retirement, or have died of illness." ”

The group talked about walking to the front, it was a very beautiful house, the courtyard was huge, looking at the cornices over the courtyard wall, it should have been divided into many courtyards. Fan Xian's heart moved, he felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it, he remembered that this was similar to the Taiping Biezhuang he saw on the bank of the Liujing River before.

The place where these shopkeepers live is a little strange, and there are no three words Qingyutang written on the door. At this time, the guards of the Fan Mansion had already stepped forward to hand over the name sticker, and as soon as the gatekeeper saw the name on the name post, he immediately knew that the person who came was the Fan Dagongzi who had recently been in the limelight in Beijing, and hurriedly respectfully invited him in, because the seven-leaf shopkeeper was currently helping to take care of the bookstore in Fan's house, so he was even exempted from informing him of this Cheng dù.

Just as he was about to enter the palace, the person in charge of supervising Qingyutang in the imperial court came over and was about to ask questions to check the identity of the visitor. Wang Qinian looked at the other party coldly, and even disdained to come forward, so he asked a junior in the group to deal with it, and went to the hall with Fan Xian.

The one who supervised Qingyutang was also a member of the Supervision Yuan, so he immediately knew that he had done a lot of redundant things.

............ Enter the hall, sit down, and serve tea.

At the top of the table was a man of about forty years old, with supple eyebrows and eyes, as if under the weight of these years, the whole person had become cautious. But Fan Xian knew that the other party was the chief shopkeeper of Qingyutang, known as Ye Da, who was mainly engaged in the most important business of the Ye family back then, and it was definitely not such a boring and useless feeling as he saw in front of him, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "I always thought that the big shopkeeper was old and virtuous, but when I saw it today, I knew that the big shopkeeper was so young." ”

Ye Da shopkeeper didn't know what this Fan Gongzi came to Qingyutang for today, although more than ten years have passed, the Ye family is no longer a taboo, but it is equivalent to being under house arrest in Beijing in disguise for more than ten years, his xìng love is no longer as heroic as it was at the beginning, his body and bones have been rickety, and his heart has faded a lot, and he responded with a wry smile: "I have long been an old man, Fan Gongzi is joking, joking." ”

Fan Xian smiled and said: "Let's get straight to the point, come here today, the first thing is that the business of the bookstore is very good, I want to thank the shopkeeper of Qiye, and I also want to see what Qingyutang looks like." ”

The shopkeeper Ye replied with a smile: "Fan Gongzi paid to ask the people in our hall to do things, so naturally let Gongzi earn money, if he still loses money in business, this Qingyutang is afraid that it will fall in Beijing a long time ago." When it comes to making money, the eyebrows of the shopkeeper Ye Da naturally reveal a sense of confidence, and his whole body exudes brilliance.

Fan Xian secretly praised in his heart, thinking that this was what his mother should teach back then, and said very politely: "Actually, I came here today, and I want to trouble the big shopkeeper about it." ”

Ye Da's shopkeeper was in his heart, if it was just for business, the other party's status was noble, and he would never come in person, what was the other party thinking? Ye Da's shopkeeper wanted to think about the lives and safety of so many shopkeepers and relatives in Qingyutang in Beijing, so he didn't dare to listen to what the other party thought, and refused in embarrassment: "The court has clear rules, and people in Qingyutang are not allowed to leave Beijing, if Fan Gongzi's heart is too high, Qingyutang really can't help much." ”

Fan Xian laughed and said: "I naturally know this, I just want to ask Ye Da shopkeeper to be a teacher, as far as I know, over the years, there have been some household officials in the imperial court and the inner treasury manpower, is to worship under the door of Qingyutang, specializing in the way of management, I am comfortable to cooperate with the shopkeeper of Qiye, so I also want to introduce a student." ”

The shopkeeper Ye was curious: "I don't know who it is." ”

Fan Xian smiled slightly and didn't say anything. The shopkeeper Ye Da understood and said softly: "The distinguished guest is coming from afar, why don't you let the housewife take Miss Fan to the back garden for a walk?" He looked at Fan Ruoruo with a smile and said: "Although our yard is not surprising, it was also designed by the head of the house back then, which is quite impressive." ”

Fan Ruoruo had already understood, smiled slightly, and went to the back garden with the shopkeeper's wife. And Wang Qinian and others were also driven out by Fan Xian with a wave of his hand. Seeing him so cautious, the shopkeeper Ye couldn't help but be scared, and he didn't know who was going to learn the way of doing business.

"Fan Sizhe, my second brother. Fan Xian took a sip of tea and said softly, "You should have heard of it." ”

The shopkeeper Ye was shocked, thinking that although the second son of the Fan family was not there at the moment, after all, there was Si Nanbo's family property there. How could the children of the powerful be willing to come to learn the last way of doing business, could it be that the eldest prince Fan in front of him wanted to take advantage of this matter to make Fan Sizhen unable to inherit the title...... But this clumsy trick is also too ridiculous to work.

Fan Xian didn't expect that Ye Da Shopkeeper would think so much, and said softly: "My second brother Tian Xìng is good at business, but at the moment he is only supported by the little genetics and hobbies in his bones, if he wants to really do something in the future, his ability is still a little insufficient, so I hope he can have this honor to worship under the door of the big shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper Ye hurriedly shook his head, cautious as he was, he categorically did not dare to mix in these things, and shirked and said: "Fan Shilang is in charge of the world's money and grain, and this business is bigger than anyone else. ”

Fan Xian was a little disappointed, but he was not in a hurry, thinking that according to his own plan, you, the teacher, would always not be able to escape. He sat quietly on the chair, slowly mobilized the true qi in the snowy mountain, all four pulses were connected, closed his eyes and muttered a little, making sure that he didn't hear anyone eavesdropping in his keen ears, so he lowered his voice and said: "There is one more thing, I don't know if the big shopkeeper dares to listen, if you dare to listen, I dare to talk about it." ”

Seeing that he was so mysterious, the shopkeeper Ye smiled helplessly, knowing that even if he didn't listen, the other party would definitely talk about it. Sure enough, Fan Xian smiled and said, "I am now the assistant of Taizhang Temple. ”

Seeing that he said this sentence without a head or tail, the shopkeeper Ye Da was a little inexplicable, but he still respectfully said hello, knowing that the prince in front of him was about to be a noble person in the palace. Unexpectedly, Fan Xian then said: "My fiancée is the young lady of the Lin family. He knew that although the dignified Ye Da Shopkeeper had been sitting in Kyoto for fifteen years, many years ago, there must have been many channels to know some secrets.

Sure enough, Ye Da's shopkeeper changed drastically, staring at Fan Xian's eyes, and said coldly: "What does Fan Gongzi want to say?"

Fan Xian replied lightly: "Within two years at the latest, it is possible for me to grasp the management of the inner treasury...... But I know that my ability is insufficient, and my father's household is the wealth of the country after all, and I have to take care of the wealth of the palace, so I can't help me much, and I ......" He looked back at Ye Da's shopkeeper's eyes without affection, and said word by word: "Need help, need ...... Your help. ”
