Chapter 234: Spring Breeze Pavilion Old Dynasty
Lin Forty-seventh Lane, since the merchants here were expelled by the Clearing and Transportation Division, there has been no smoke.
The huge alley can be described as a cold silence.
Today, however, the entire Lin47 Lane welcomed its first tenant.
It was Sangsang and Ning Que.
They opened a shop called Lao Bi Zhai.
Soon after, the second tenant also quietly came to the door, it was Xu Chuan, next to Lao Bizhai.
It's clean and close to Sangsang, so it can be said that it fits his needs perfectly.
But after all, this is a shop, and he always has to make a living for himself.
Eventually, he wrote down the three words of Wanshiju.
Subsequently, two lateral couplets were written.
Don't disturb mediocrities, don't let idlers enter.
After a few glances, he nodded with satisfaction, and went out to post it, and happened to meet Ning Que and Sang Sang, who were fiddling with the plaque of Lao Bizhai.
He waved his hand and smiled at the two of them, "What a coincidence, we met again."
Ning Que's heart tightened, but he was inexplicably relieved.
In the past two days of entering the city, he has not seen Xu Chuan, and he thought that the other party had already left.
That's actually a good thing for him.
Because Xu Chuan's origin is too mysterious, and he bluntly came for Sangsang, although he has not seen what Xu Chuan needs Sangsang to do, and he has not shown any malice, but it is always a hidden danger.
Sang Sang has always been frail, and there is a cold invasion, these years have not been easy, he doesn't want Sang Sang to be hurt again.
It's just that he didn't have the ability to refuse Xu Chuan's request before, and he was already extremely interested in cultivators, so in the end he could only let it go.
If Xu Chuan left like this, he would certainly have one less channel to understand the cultivator, but he would not have to worry about the other party's plans.
However, now that Xu Chuan appeared beside them in such a coincidental way, he was certainly a little wary and shocked, but in this strange city, it was not a bad thing to have a cultivator who had shown kindness to them.
Because of the complicated emotions in his heart, he pulled the corners of his mouth, and his smile was not so natural, and said, "It's really a coincidence."
Sang Sang exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Xu, I thought you were gone!"
All the way from Weicheng to Chang'an, they got along not a lot of times, in her heart Xu Chuan is far inferior to Ning Que's status, but he has also gained some trust from her, and they can be regarded as friends.
One is that Xu Chuan is very handsome, in this world, handsome men and beautiful women will always be congenitally favored by others, and the other is that she can clearly feel Xu Chuan's kindness.
She doesn't seem to be very smart, but her growing up experience has made her sensitive to the kindness and malice of others.
Although she is very picky on weekdays, once she recognizes someone, she will not hesitate to show her kindness.
Xu Chuan looked at Sang Sang and smiled, pointed to the three words of Lao Bizhai and asked, "What, you plan to make a living selling words?" He nodded as he spoke, "With Ning Que's calligraphy, this business is indeed suitable for you."
Ning Que raised his eyelids and didn't say anything, but Sang Sang was full of smiles, as if he had seen the scene where she and Ning Que landed in Chang'an, and said quite smugly, "This is my idea."
At this time, she looked at the three big characters of Wanshiju, and then looked at the couplets on the left and right that mediocre people should not disturb and idlers should not enter, and asked curiously, "Brother Xu, what are you selling in this store, Wanshiju?" What does this mean?"
Hearing Sang Sang's question, Ning Que also pricked up his ears, and he was also quite curious in his heart, what kind of shop a cultivator would open here.
Xu Chuan glanced at the three words of Wanshiju, and said lightly: "Everything in this world has value, and anyone who can afford it can come to me."
Hearing this, Ning Que said secretly in his heart, what a big breath, can you do it if I say that you want to be an emperor?
However, his heart immediately moved, Sangsang body cold disease has been seen by many doctors, but it is not good, since the other party boasted so much, he is also a cultivator
, maybe there will be a way to cure Sangsang's body cold, but it is not necessarily.
He thought about it quietly, and felt more and more feasible, but what was the price of treating Sangsang's body cold?
On the side, Sang Sang opened his mouth and exclaimed with an exclamation on his face: "It's amazing, business will definitely be good in the future."
Xu Chuan couldn't help laughing, he shook his head and said, "I don't bother to pay attention to ordinary people looking for me, and besides, do I have any fame in this huge Chang'an City, where can anyone come?"
didn't say much, after chatting a few words, Xu Chuan waved goodbye to them and returned to his Wanshiju.
Wanshiju has been cleaned and sorted out by him a long time ago, and he has the power of mind, and these little things are just a matter of spending a cup of tea.
Of course, ordinary cultivators can't do such fine control of mental power.
Mental power is born from the divine soul, and his divine soul is strong, so that he can accurately grasp the trajectory, speed and strength of the mental power.
If it was an ordinary cultivator, even if it was a Nian Master of the Cave Xuan Realm, it would only make the room even more messy.
He had barely sat down and was halfway through a cup of tea when a middle-aged man knocked on the door and walked in.
I saw that he was wearing a green shirt with a sword tied at random, and there was a sense of freedom between his eyebrows and eyes, and there seemed to be a kind smile on his face at all times, which made people subconsciously let go of their guard.
Xu Chuan's heart moved, and he had vaguely guessed the identity of the other party.
This Forty-seventh Lane has been taken care of by the military department, and it has been deserted for many days, and at such a critical juncture, he dares to walk around in this alley, and there are people with such demeanor, I am afraid that there is only the leader of the Fish and Dragon Gang, Chao Xiaoshu, who has the name of the old dynasty of Chunfeng Pavilion.
I saw him with his hands in front of him, looking at the furnishings in the store casually, and asked with a smile: "Don't disturb mediocrity, don't let idlers enter, does the boss think I'm a mediocre or an idler?"
Xu Chuan smiled slightly and said, "The dignified leader of the Fish and Dragon Gang is not a mediocrity and idler."
Chao Xiaoshu was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "The boss actually knows the identity of my rough man, which is really flattering to Zaixia."
Xu Chuan said lightly: "Don't gossip, I don't know what the leader of the Fish Dragon Gang is here for?"
Chao Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Since the boss knows my identity, he must also know that all the shops in Lane 47 are mine."
Xu Chuan raised his eyelids and said, "So, is the owner showing off his wealth or is he here to collect rent?"
Because he will only go to Wanbao Zhai tomorrow, he has not yet paid the rent of fifty taels of silver a month.
However, these shops were not cared for in the first place, and it was a good thing that someone could rent them, and after a brief discussion, he only needed to pay the rent within ten days.
Chao Xiaoshu's smile remained unchanged, and he said slowly, "The rent is not urgent, but there are some things I need to tell the boss in advance, for example, why this shop is so cheap and can't be rented for a long time." Seeing that Xu Chuan's expression had not changed, he continued, "I know that the boss is a cultivator, and I must not care about these trivial things in the streets and alleys, but since the boss has rented my shop, I have the responsibility to be responsible for the boss, and at least I should inform the specific situation of the shop."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan was not surprised, the Fish Dragon Gang was the secret guard of the Tang King, equivalent to the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty, and his eyes and ears were all over the Tang Kingdom, so it was not strange to know that he was a cultivator.
As for the specific situation that Chao Xiaoshu wanted to say, he shook his head and directly interrupted Chao Xiaoshu's words, and said lightly: "The reason why no one dares to rent this shop is because they are afraid of the prestige of the Qingyun Department of the Military Department, and these are the instructions of Li Peiyan, the prince of Tang State, and the ultimate goal is just to find trouble for you, am I wrong?"
Chao Xiaoshu was stunned again, he smiled, and said angrily: "The boss is really powerful, it seems that I have something to do."
Xu Chuan poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Chao Xiaoshu, and said, "Please." Seeing Chao Xiaoshu pick up the teacup, he smiled and said, "Chao Gang Leader has a lot of kindness, how can it be considered a lot of things?"
He smiled at Xiaoshu, drank all the tea, glanced at a pair of characters posted on the pillar in the corner and whispered: "The word shopkeeper is really extraordinary, there seems to be a domineering overlooking the world between the lines, it seems that the shopkeeper is also."
He is a man with a story, and he has also mastered the livelihood of countless people?"
Chao Xiaoshu knows very well that only people who have mastered countless lives and killings and stand in high places can raise such momentum.
Xu Chuan smiled and did not respond to Chao Xiaoshu's temptation.
Chao Xiaoshu didn't care, and turned to the word Lian and said, "Whoever pays the price will get what he wants."
He looked at Xu Chuan and asked, "Boss, this place is called Wanshiju, so can everything be done?"
Xu Chuan said lightly, "What's the matter, the Chao Gang wants to do business with me? However, even if you can afford to pay the price, you need me to be willing to do it, and of course, if I really take the commission, I can get things done.
For the sake of you being my first guest, if I accept your commission, I can give you a 7% discount."
Chao Xiaoshu nodded thoughtfully, then got up and said, "There is nothing important that needs the shopkeeper's help now, if he asks for it in the future, he will definitely come to the door again."
This is the farewell.
Xu Chuan raised his hand, signaled him to take care of himself, and then ignored him.
He smiled at Xiaoshu and left the Wanshi Residence, outside the door, Qi Si had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Chao Xiaoshu going out, Qi Si stepped forward and said, "Second brother, seeing that this guy has such a big mouth, he must be more powerful than the weak kid next to him."
Chao Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "This is a cultivator, accompanying the princess all the way back, Lu Qingchen is willing to bow down, he is not a simple character."
The two walked side by side, and Qi Si said with a smile: "The second brother said that the kid is not good, and said that this person is not simple, this small Lin Forty-seventh Lane is lively."
Wrapping his hands around Xiaoshu, he walked leisurely, and sighed a little, "Yes, it's lively, and it's become interesting."
......
The spring cold has not gone, and it is another heavy rain.
The entire Chang'an City was hazy under the rain curtain and looked extremely mysterious.
The next day, at noon, Xu Chuan got up slowly and went downstairs, sat under the eaves, watched the rain for a long time, and then prepared to go out to Wanbao Zhai.
However, he didn't have an umbrella, so on this rainy day, he had to go to the old pen on the side to borrow an umbrella from Sangsang.
Sang Sang has always put the words "Umbrella in the Umbrella and People Die in the Umbrella", but this time, although she was a little hesitant and a little reluctant, she still lent her and Ning Que's only big black umbrella to Xu Chuan.
Holding the thick black umbrella and feeling the faint astonishing aura on the black umbrella, his eyes softened a little more when he looked at Sang Sang.
Bidding farewell to Sang Sang and Ning Que, he went out with a big black umbrella and went all the way to the Wanbao Zhai.
And the old shopkeeper of Wanbao Zhai was already standing at the gate, looking at the streets left and right, it was like looking through the autumn water.
The methods recorded on those three sheets of paper, except for the method of planting the third crop, which is still difficult to determine, the things recorded on the other two pages have been thoroughly confirmed with the cooperation of the entire Chu family's industry.
This also means that there is a ninety percent chance that the method recorded on the third piece of paper is true.
And this is also the most precious thing on the three sheets of paper.
If the people live on food, if they can really multiply the grain production as recorded on paper, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth a lot of money.
Of course, the two pieces of paper that have been verified are also worth a lot of money.
Even, to put it mildly, all the industries of the entire Chu family combined, may not be comparable to what is recorded on any piece of paper.
After knowing this, Master Chu, who was over sixty years old, came to Wanbao Zhai in person, and strictly ordered that no one should leak any of the contents on those papers.
As an old man, he not only saw the huge benefits contained in it, but also saw the life and death crisis under this huge benefit.
If you are not careful, the entire Chu family may be ruined.
The old shopkeeper of Wanbao Zhai already knew that this matter was not trivial, and after seeing Master Chu's attitude, he was even more cautious.
Under the eaves of Wanbao Zhai, when the old shopkeeper saw Xu Chuan strolling in the rain with a big black umbrella, he didn't care about the pouring rain and hurriedly greeted him.
"Oh, Childe, you're here, it's almost time, you just came, but you're in a hurry."
Xu Chuan moved the big black umbrella forward, covered the old shopkeeper under the umbrella, blocked the rain, shook his head and smiled, "What's the hurry? Why, all those methods have been proven?"
The two of them walked towards Wanbao Zhai, and the old shopkeeper said angrily: "I have tested, I have passed, and I have passed it, and it is enough for a family to inherit a peerless secret for hundreds of years."
He didn't think about the price reduction or how, the person who could come up with these things was by no means a fool, and, looking at yesterday's posture, his identity was definitely not trivial, at least it was not something that a Chu family could use his crooked brains.
After entering Wanbao Zhai, the old shopkeeper ignored the rain on his body, and hurriedly led Xu Chuan to the back hall, and at the same time immediately ordered the guys to close the store immediately.
Of course, he didn't forget to explain: "This deal is too big, and the old man has to be careful."
Xu Chuan would not care about this, nor would he be afraid of anything.
After receiving the big black umbrella, he carried the handle of the umbrella into the back hall.
In the back hall, seeing him appear, an old man who was also not too old immediately got up to greet him with a solemn face, and at the same time introduced himself: "Contemptible Chu Yanlin, the head of the Chu family in Chang'an Dongcheng, is also the owner of this Wanbao Zhai, and the old man will talk to you about this deal today."
