Chapter 41: The Treasure Pavilion

Jingzhou City finally stopped the snowstorm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

An unpretentious carriage slowly moved forward in Jingzhou City.

The carriage looks inconspicuous, no different from ordinary people's, but the two horses carrying the carriage in front of it are a little extraordinary.

The two horses were huge, both pitch black, with no variegated colours, their manes shining like silk in the sunlight, and their four legs each time they stepped out, highlighting the contours of their muscles.

The people walking in the streets stopped to avoid the carriage when they saw it, and some of them showed flattering smiles, hoping that the owner of the car would open the curtains and see their sincerity. Even a group of soldiers patrolling the city stopped walking in parallel in the middle of the street when they saw it, but stood on both sides of the street, slightly bowing their heads that were originally high.

Ezen sat in the carriage recliningly, leaned comfortably on the cushion, lifted the corner of the curtain, and said slowly: "You old man Hua's shelf, but it is very big, even the Qiu Ba people in this line of troops have given you enough face, tsk, it seems that my old man E's will touch your light more." ”

The old man Hua, who was sitting on the opposite side, sneered: "General E has taken a humble post again, if you always return to Donghua, it will not be a hundred times bigger than the pomp and circumstance of the humble position? Maybe there are a few yellow flower girls who admire your might, and you can't say if you offer your innocent body. ”

"Fuck off. ”

The old man laughed and scolded.

The military career is boring, and the fierce men who pick at the stinky feet, in addition to drinking and eating meat in a big bowl, just like to say some meat jokes that can't be put on the table. Hua Yunfei and Old Man E have been in the army for decades, and they have long been accustomed to this kind of innocuous and vulgar jokes.

Sell your life to the emperor's family, and don't let you talk about it?

Seeing the prosperous scene in the city, Ezen Zhengse said: "When I passed by this Jingzhou city a few decades ago, I still remember the desolation and depression in the city.

Picking up the silver wine jug in his hand, Old Man Hua poured a cup for Echan first, and he only filled half a cup, and said thoughtfully: "This thorn history is just a sleek anointing son who knows the officialdom, and thanks to the blessing of the family, he climbed to the position of Jingzhou Thorn History. Speaking of the prosperity of Jingzhou, it has a certain relationship with its topography, where the north and south are flushed, and it is a traffic artery. The reason why it was barren before was because of the scourge of war, and these years have been peaceful, and there are more people doing business. At that time, Mr. Jiujiang let Yunfei take root here, save money and food for the young master, and also calculated the potential of this place to be prosperous for businessmen in the future. ”

As if remembering the news that Du Jiujiang was going to die soon, Hua Yunfei drank half a glass of spirits, poured another full glass, and poured it into his throat again.

The name of the wine in the cup is called Burning Knife, the entrance is spicy, the aftertaste is slightly bitter, it is not a good wine, and it can't sell a few copper plates, which is not commensurate with the identity of the old man Hua. However, the Beilin Kingdom is cold all year round, and the people don't like to drink that kind of warm stuff, most of them love this kind of straightforward spirit, and the dignitaries are no different.

The old man continued to pick up the corner of the curtain, looking at the streets of Jingzhou, and his voice gradually deepened: "I checked carefully when I entered the city, there is no city within a radius of dozens of miles in Jingzhou, and there are many plains nearby, tall trees, if a war breaks out, I am afraid that this city will not last for three months and will be captured." You can make money here, but don't put your grain, grass, gold and silver in this city, once the war starts, you can outrun the elite cavalry who grew up on horses with those things?"

E Chan usually looks grinning and full of nonsense, but he has been fighting horses for decades, leading the army to seal the territory of the Donghua Kingdom, and as one of the four famous generals of the anti-barbarian resistance, is he a reckless man who looks extremely vulgar on the outside?

Hua Yunfei looked respectful, hugged his fists and said: "In the general's words, Yunfei has been taught, and he will transfer things elsewhere from tomorrow." ”

The carriage, which was moving smoothly, suddenly shook violently.

Ezen in the carriage slapped the elegant small wooden table in front of him with one palm, sawdust flew all over the place, gritted his teeth and said: "Barbarian!"

Hua Yunfei hurriedly looked out the window, only to see two people in robes walking on the side of the street, looking carefully, these two people were wearing dogskin hats, revealing a bunch of pigtails behind them, with a thick body, thick beard, wearing huge earrings, just looking at the figure, they are typical of the Great Xia people.

Seeing that Echan was about to get out of the car and kill someone, Old Man Hua hurriedly stopped him and said softly: "These are just barbarian merchants, Jingzhou City is close to the Great Xia Kingdom, and there are many business contacts, so it is not uncommon to see barbarians, and the general does not need to be angry." ”

The old man gritted his teeth and glared at him fiercely: "Little Feizi, are you going back the more you fucking your grandmother's life! A barbarian is a barbarian, what a fucking businessman is not a businessman! When the iron cavalry trampled on the Central Plains, did you know what those bastards who raped and plundered did make a living?

The old man Hua, who was scolded for being bloody, was full of guilt, and hurriedly said: "General, please calm your anger, now there are many people talking in broad daylight, and it is not too late to do it at night, Xiao Feizi promises to give you a satisfactory result." ”

Old Man Hua knocked on the carriage.

In the blink of an eye, the vicissitudes of life of the driving groom were revealed.

"Tell me to go down, tomorrow there will be another barbarian in this city, you will come and see you!"

Old Man Hua shouted angrily.

A hint of anger appeared on the groom's honest face, and he nodded.

Old Man Hua pondered for a moment and ordered: "In the future, there will not be a barbarian in Jingzhou City!"

In the face of this bloody and murderous order, the groom's hands holding the reins rubbed vigorously, and his voice was hoarse and low, mixed with an indescribable excitement: "Okay." ”

Not long after the drive.

The carriage came to a magnificent building, and the horse stopped.

This building is only two floors high, but it covers an extremely wide area, and there are three gilded characters written on the door plaque, Duobao Pavilion.

These three characters can be said to be famous, and can be called the leading trading house in the Central Plains, with branches in all four major dynasties. From the magic weapon to the rouge sachet, as long as you can name something, you can basically find it in this store.

As the location of the rich and rival country, even the dignitaries and nobles have a very personal relationship with this Duobao Pavilion.

Hua Yunfei and Ezen got out of the carriage, and were taken into the door by a handsome little servant, and without pause, they went straight to the second floor, came to a room in the corner, invited the two into the house, closed the door and retreated.

The old man looked in this room and found that the decoration was extremely elegant, without the slightest copper smell, and it was more like a private study of a contemporary Confucian.

If you look closely, you can see the subtlety.

Tables, stools, and chairs have a faint aroma, interlaced textures, and a round luster, all made of expensive rosewood.

The painting scroll hung on the wall is skillful with a pen and has a profound meaning, and it does not look like a fake. Not to mention the thousand-year-old Yue kiln brown glaze incense, just the smell wafting out of the incense burner, the old man can smell it, it is definitely a hundred gold and one tael of ambergris.

"Xiao Feizi, look at other people's style, you are really fucking rich! Although you kid also has a lot of silver, compared to others, he looks a bit like a rich man. ”

Ezen was amazed and didn't forget to make fun of someone.

Old Man Hua smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to speak.

A heroic voice came from outside the door:

"Hahaha, I said why the magpie barked on the branch early this morning, it turned out to be a distinguished guest to greet the door, Li did not greet well, should be punished, should be punished!"

A man of about fifty pushed the door in, clasped his fists and saluted the two people in the room, like the Maitreya Buddha enshrined in the temple, wide from top to bottom, left and right, and smiling, barely seeing his eyes

Hua Yunfei returned the salute and smiled: "Yunfei is presumptuous to come this time, how can you talk about any punishment or not, Shopkeeper Li is polite." ”

Shopkeeper Li is the head of Duobaoge's branch in Jingzhou and has been operating here for several years.

Duobao Pavilion has dozens of branches in the entire Central Plains, and there are countless masters in the pavilion, which is obviously a behemoth for people like Old Man Hua who are only famous in Jingzhou City.

However, this dragon crossing the river and the old man Hua, the head snake, get along very well.

Ezen stared at the fat man and sneered.

The old man has read countless people, and at a casual glance, he knows that this lord who looks harmless to people and animals is definitely not as kind as he seems.

After the shopkeeper Li finished greetings, he looked at Echan and took a closer look, and said in surprise: "This old brother is so powerful, forgive Li for being clumsy, but which hero is in Jingzhou City?"

Hua Yunfei shook his head and explained: "This is a distant relative of Hua, I heard that the Treasure Pavilion is rich in the world, so I want to come and see it, Brother Li, don't bother, right?"

Shopkeeper Li stomped his feet, pretended to be angry and said: "Brother Hua, you are scolding Li, aren't your relatives Li's relatives? ”

Shopkeeper Li's palms were full of fat, slapping his round face, revealing sincerity in his funny.

Hua Yunfei clenched his fists and smiled: "Brother Li is really polite. ”

The three of them sat down in the sandalwood chairs in turn, and the handsome little man entered the room and presented a small bowl of tea, bowed down again, and gently closed the door.

The smiling shopkeeper Li asked, "My brother is here this time, but what do you need my brother to help?"

After drinking the fragrant tea, Hua Yunfei went straight in: "Last time, I heard that my brother mentioned that there was just a batch of Qiyun Mountain Master Zheng De's pills in your store, I don't know if there are refining pills and Yuansheng pills in them? Hua Mou needs two each. ”

Shopkeeper Li slapped his thigh and said loudly: "I said a long time ago that I would send someone to send it to you, but you kept shirking it, afraid that those few pills would make my brother poor? What is the relationship between our two brothers, can I give them them? Don't worry, Lao Li hasn't sold any of them, and I'll keep them all for you!"

Hua Yunfei heard that the pill was still there, so he put down his slightly slightly lifted heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother, how much gold is in total, I will let someone send it to you later." ”

There are not many Taoist priests who can refine pills, and the pills refined by the world's top Danding masters like Zheng Dezhen are not measured in silver, even the most inconspicuous body refining pills have a market price of more than one hundred taels of gold. Hua Yunfei naturally understands the price, so he asks how much gold he asks.

Shopkeeper Li instantly sank his face: "If you are polite to my brother again, I will be angry! What price do we still negotiate, I will send someone to you in a while." ”

"That's not good, Hua is useless, these pills are worth a lot of money, how can I be embarrassed to let my brother break the bank. ”

"If you are polite, Li Mouke will be thrown into the thatched house. ”

Listening to this joke, Hua Yunfei could only shake his head helplessly, and arched his hand: "Then Hua Mou will be gracious, set up a banquet another day, and invite Brother Li to appreciate his face." ”

"Haha, Li can't look down on anything else, the dishes in your family are really authentic. Brother Hua, if you have a treat, then you must be in Lanyue Tower, otherwise Brother won't go. ”

"Well said, well said. ”

Now that the matter is done, Hua Yunfei is very settled, and he chatted for a while, and got up with Ezen to say goodbye.

Bidding farewell to the two, Shopkeeper Li came to the window, looking at the carriage they were riding, and the kind look just now gradually turned gloomy......
