Seeing He Shou arrive, not only Qiao Wang behind the counter, but also other pen workshop craftsmen and congratulatory guests who heard the news also came out of the backyard to greet them.

He Shouke didn't mean to disturb the business of Zhiyongzhai, and simply greeted everyone and sent everyone at will, don't surround himself, he looked left and right after speaking, and motioned to the private room on the left: "I'll go in and sit down." ”

Personally receiving He Shou's gift box, Lu Liang raised his hand and signaled: "Lord Ling, the backyard has prepared a table, please move ......"

He Shou shook his head: "Your Majesty ordered, I'll take a look in the store, there are many things in the palace, and I'll have to go back in a while." ”

Lao Zhu asked He Shou to come and stand for a while, He Shou couldn't really stand, it would scare people, go to the private room and sit for a while to show outsiders, the meaning that should be conveyed is enough.

As he spoke, he walked to the private room on the left.

Lu Liang instructed another craftsman, Tu Xian, to be responsible for the greeting and sending, and he personally followed over to make tea and pour water. He Shou and Lu Liang were talking, and mentioned the order for 1,000 fountain pens, so that there was no hurry, while looking at the lively sales scene that had begun outside, and after drinking a cup of tea, he got up and said goodbye.

Seeing off He Shou here, and returning to the increasingly lively shop, Tu Xian, another workshop craftsman who had just been instructed to replace his own greeting, came over and whispered to Lu Liang: "Shopkeeper, the right prime minister's family is also here." ”

Lu Liang didn't react for a while: "That? ”

Tu Xian simply pointed out, and subconsciously suppressed his voice: "Capture the general." ”

Lu Liang's face just showed surprise, and another red guest entered the door, and hurriedly forcibly restrained and greeted him, this time it was Hua Fu, the steward of Hua Gao's family, the naval governor who went to Mingzhou with the head of the family.

The Governor of Waldo has the best relationship with his own family, and he can't be slack.

Lu Liang personally sent Hua Fu to the entrance of the backyard behind the counter on the right, returned to the main hall, and then looked at Tu Xian.

After confirming that it was correct, thinking that the important guests who should have arrived had arrived, Lu Liang simply ordered Tu Xian to take over him, and he also bypassed the counter on the right side and came to the backyard.

The person in charge of registering the guests here is named Li Mingli, the uncle of the young lady next to the head of the family, who is 61 years old this year.

Lu Liang greeted the old man, picked up the register, and quickly confirmed that the mansion of the general and the right prime minister of Zhongshu had indeed sent a steward named Zheng Pu to congratulate him. After asking the old man a few more words, Lu Liang followed the guidance and looked at a thin man about forty years old next to the table on the left, who was Zheng Pu.

Zheng Pu has already spoken to Hua Fu, who has just arrived, and the two seem to be quite familiar with each other.

Lu Liang's mind was racing as he walked over.

His Majesty the Emperor's favor to the head of the family, that is a level. The interaction between the head of the family and the officials and ministers is another level.

Lu Liang is also familiar with the world and understands that both are important.

Lu Liang just didn't expect that today's visitor had already exceeded his expectations, and there could be an even more than expected.

Capture the general Xu Da!

The Ming military generals are the first, and the court is second only to Li Shanchang, the Duke of Xuanguo.

Lu Liang can think of some of the intersection between General Xu and the head of the family, his own master came out of the chaotic Shandong, and it happened that General Xu sent someone to escort him to Jinling, but, just this intersection, it is difficult for Lu Liang, who cannot know more about the inside story, to understand, how could General Xu send his family to congratulate him for the opening of a small shop?

You know, it's not just about congratulating.

When he appeared like this, he showed his attitude.

What is the attitude?

To put it mildly, General Xu has a good impression of his little master. To put it mildly, that is, the Xu family and the Zhu family want to be friendly with each other.

After all, the court officials whose official positions are lower than their own little masters come to congratulate them, and they may just stammer. Xu Da's identity is very different, and his every move is far more important than those petty officials.

Just like the left minister Li Shanchang, who is rumored to be not on the right path with his little master, and Tao An, who is in charge of the Hanlin Academy, who is at the same level as the head of the family, there is no movement today.

In any case, this matter must be sent to Mingzhou as soon as possible, and the head of the family will be informed.

When Lu Liang was socializing in the backyard, the business in front of the store became better after a dense group of red customers entered the door.

Qiao Wang, who was in charge of bookkeeping, had opened 16 orders in a blink of an eye.

According to the owner, this is called an 'invoice', the invoice is in duplicate, one is kept in the store, one is handed to the customer, and if there is a problem with the pen, it can be repaired free of charge within a year.

In addition to the invoice, it will be recorded again in the account book and form that is clear at a glance.

Qiao Wang helped the Yizhou Wang family manage Zhuangzi and was also responsible for keeping some bills, but it was just a running account, he didn't expect that there would be such a thoughtful and meticulous bookkeeping method in this world.

However, Qiao Wang didn't have time to sigh about this at the moment.

Qiao Wang was a little flustered.

Because, behind the 16 lists, 29 fountain pens have been sold, and many customers have bought more than one, including two treasures worth 666 taels.

It's only been two or three minutes since it opened!

At this sales rate, considering that the workshop has been hoarding for nearly a month before there is an inventory of 316 pens, Qiao Wang thinks, let alone tomorrow...... In the afternoon, what to do?

I just opened an order for another guest, and a voice came from next to me: "Man, ...... above." Take those two down and let us see. ”

Qiao Wan looked.

This is a middle-aged man with a round face wearing an indigo silk robe, and his tone is a little strange, as if he is from the southeast, and he deliberately imitates the official dialect of Jinling.

Qiao Wang had noticed the other party before.

The middle-aged man had just been patrolling the store, until the internal envoy ordered He Shou to leave, and he no longer seemed to be so restrained, so he opened his mouth.

Qiao Wang immediately understood what the other party wanted to see, and recruited another literate guy to temporarily help with the bill, he took the initiative to go over, only carefully took down the 'Xingtian', and said to the middle-aged man: "Guest, this is designed by the head of the family himself, taking the magic of the strange beasts contained in the ancient book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and planning to create a set of unique products, each with a number, this is the first number, called 'Xingtian'." Tao Yuanming has poetry clouds, Xingtian Dance is a relative, and Meng Zhigu is always there. It can be seen that Mr. Dongli admires the ...... of Xingtian"

Qiao Wang said, already opening the lid of the mahogany box.

In the large mahogany box, which is one and a half feet long and one foot wide, there are several small lattices of bright red silk.

In the rectangular lattice on the far left, in a small wooden box without a lid, a fountain pen with black lacquer engraved with gold fine lines and gems at the ends and key points of the texture appeared in front of several guests who had gathered to hear the sound.

If you look closer, you can tell that the delicate texture on the pen vaguely forms the picture of a headless giant dancing a giant with a giant axe.

In addition to the fountain pen, there is a complete set of nibs in the other compartments, two bottles of ink that look very high-grade in appearance, a red silk booklet, and a small scroll.

Qiao Wang continued, just about to take out the scroll with the painting 'Xingtian' and show it to everyone, next to the round-faced middle-aged man who spoke before, a short man had already grabbed it: "I bought it, this, and the Jingwei above, the shopkeeper, press it......"

The round-faced middle-aged man with a strange accent was still looking down to admire, but when he heard the words, he immediately became anxious, pressed the box in front of him, and glared at the short man beside him: "Do you know how to come first and then come?" ”

The short man retorted: "You only said to see, but you didn't say you want to buy it, if you come first and come first, I will be considered 'first come'!" ”

Qiao Wang saw that the two of them had a tendency to quarrel, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Two of you, and listen to the next word, these two unique products, my master personally set the price, 1888 taels of silver......"

The short man didn't wait for Qiao Wang to finish speaking, and had already interrupted again: "I'll give you two thousand taels." ”

Qiao Wang was worried that the person in front of him would misunderstand, and explained: "My master set the price, and he specially emphasized that it cannot be discounted, but it must not be increased. Moreover, the guest, these 1888 taels are one, not two. ”

The short man smiled, "Of course it's one, I'm not that nonsense." Both of them are given to me, and I will let people bring money in. ”

The round-faced middle-aged man was still pressing the box in front of him, and looked at Qiao Wang at this time: "Come first, come first, I'll see it first." ”

The short man didn't let it go at all: "I'll buy it first." ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Tu Xian, who was welcoming the guests, had already come over, Qiao Wang glanced at the guys on both sides, and carefully tried to put away the 'Xingtian' in front of him first, lest the two accidentally destroy the baby.

Just as it was about to be opened, suddenly another neutral voice sounded beside him: "Presumptuous, don't look at who is in the middle hall, dare to tear up here, get out of here!" ”

The two who were about to quarrel were suddenly frightened.

react.

The plaque at the door, as well as the enshrined hall, are all the imperial pens of His Majesty the Emperor today.

Thinking of this, the two subconsciously took a few steps back, thought of something, paused their steps, and looked at the speaker together, this is a bearded man about thirty years old, tall and decently dressed.

The two didn't know each other's identities for a while, they didn't dare to advance, and they didn't want to retreat, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little deadlocked.

Today...... They were all commanded by the Lord's house.

If you go back empty-handed, it's hard to explain.

Seeing that the two of them got out of the way, the tall man's originally serious expression eased, squeezed over, turned to Qiao Wang, and already showed a little smile: "Shopkeeper, I want these two." One thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight taels, I don't understand, but when I hear it, I feel that it is an auspicious number, and quickly open the list to me. Again...... Let this collect gold? ”

Round-faced man: "......"

Short man: "......"

Guests: "......"

The tall man ignored the stunned crowd, and said that he had already taken a wooden box from the entourage behind him, and carefully carried it to the counter, even if the man deliberately slowed down his movements, he still made a sound of winter, which showed that the wooden box was heavy.

This sound finally woke up the people around them, and the two of them immediately grabbed it again.

"You ...... of it"

"False intimidation, shameless ......"

"Shopkeeper, give me a ticket, Mo Li is a bad guy, I brought a thousand taels of gold, how to exchange the silver is up to anyone."

“……”

After such a commotion, after Qiao Wang's coordination, 001's 'Xingtian' and 002's 'Jingwei' were still taken away by the first two to speak. The tall man who brought a box of gold did not entangle, but bought five 666 taels of Baibao inlays and ten other pens of different styles and materials in one go, and he was satisfied.

Lu Liang entered the backyard and stayed to entertain the guests.

Sending away Zheng Pu, the steward of the Xu Mansion who had only sat for two quarters of an hour, Lu Liang took turns to toast and greet everyone, and more than an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and he was commenting on the section sung by the female singer just now with the steward of the Washington Mansion who was still left, when suddenly a guy hurriedly ran over, unable to speak with his mouth wide open, just raised his arm and pointed to the front.

Lu Liang was startled, thinking that something terrible had happened, and he didn't wait to ask more, he got up and ran over with his clothes, and some of the guests who were still left behind also hurriedly got up to follow.

Everyone came to the front shop in a hurry, looking at the empty shelves where the pens and even the ink were swept, and then looking at Qiao Wang, who was stunned and slowly flipping through the account books in front of him, didn't react for a while.

This broad daylight is bright and clear, and it is Jinling City at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Could it be ......

Can you still be robbed?!
