Chapter 12 This is a simple matter, let's start buying
Chu Qianqiu scared himself and couldn't sleep all night.
As a result, nothing happened.
After questioning, the hunchbacked old servant returned to his bedroom and did not bother again.
When the sun rose, Chu Qianqiu breathed a sigh of relief and laughed at himself for being too nervous, but he couldn't take care of resting, carrying the 50,000 taels of silver tickets in his arms, and 10 taels of broken silver, and left.
Even the old hunchbacked servant pleaded with him to stay and eat.
Every second counts.
When noon comes, it is very likely that the murder case in Jiangwutang will be staged as scheduled, and then he will face an overwhelming pursuit of six doors.
Wait a minute.
Chu Qianqiu suddenly thought of something.
In the first cycle, due to his extra caution, he first went to the second-hand clothes store to change his suit, and then went to the newly opened practice workshop, until the last hour was arrested by the people of the six doors.
Maybe I can do better.
Thinking of this, Chu Qianqiu did not go directly to Baixiang Pavilion, but went to the second-hand clothes store first.
"Two pieces of sackcloth and two trousers."
Mai is half cheaper than cotton, but Chu Qianqiu is not to save money, but to try to dress in a way that does not conform to his identity, and it is easier to avoid the eyeliner of the six doors.
"Young Master Chu, how do you come to buy linen clothes?"
"This is too inconsistent with the identity of the young master."
Liu Danping, the female owner of the second-hand clothes store, asked with a surprised face as she had done for the first time.
Chu Qianqiu didn't know who this beautiful woman was at first, but now that she has been born and matured, she can answer very calmly
"Sister Liu, I'm of great use"
"Amitabha, the Lord of the Hundred Households is kind and benevolent, and he will definitely ascend to the Elysium as Master Juemi said."
Liu Danping is a female layman of Fahua Temple, and without saying a word, she recited Buddhist scriptures for Chu's father and Chu's mother.
Daxia advocates Taoism, Shenwu is mostly based on Buddhism, known as the South Buddha and North Dao in history, there are many disputes in the doctrine, Zhenwumen and Maha Temple have many polemics, and there are victories and defeats with each other.
There is a poet surnamed Du in the north who once left a famous sentence: "There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain." ”
It can be seen that under the rule of the Shenwu court, Buddhism is vast.
However, Chu Qianqiu's time was urgent, and he couldn't wait for Sister Liu to finish reading the prayer scripture, so he couldn't help but speak
"Sister Liu, time is a little urgent."
"Amitabha, Amitabha." Store Manager Liu chanted the Buddha horn twice, and then quickly took the clothes with his hands and feet.
"Both are broad, one is gray and the other is black."
"These are not the short shirts of the peddler's pawns, if the young master wears them, he can not lose his dignity."
The eyes of the beautiful woman are very poisonous, Chu Qianqiu changed the blue clothes to the current gray clothes, and unexpectedly fitted herself, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she actually had a little more temperament as a reader.
"Young Master Chu is really a talent, and he will be the champion of civil and military affairs in the future."
"I bought it." Chu Qianqiu didn't know the price, so he first took out a tael of silver and put it on the table.
"It's a lot, hundreds of households took care of the Liu family back then, and these clothes are only 400 yuan."
"If there are more, I'll send Sister Liu, I'm in a hurry." Chu Qianqiu put down the silver, took another set of black clothes, went out from the back door of the used clothes store, and found the practice workshop that had just opened.
A thin old man sat at the door of the store and worried, this is the store he spent a lot of money to open, who expected that on the first day, there were so many people, there were no customers to inquire about the news.
This made him sad, and he looked ten years older than his real age.
If it continues like this—
"Boss, your practice workshop is authentic or not, it won't be a green building in the name of a practice workshop."
Chu Qianqiu was dressed in gray clothes and came to the thin old man, thinking that this profiteer had pit himself a lot of silver before, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Authentic, absolutely authentic!"
"This guest officer is dignified, and at first sight, he is a martial artist with internal achievements."
"This practice room is completely built in accordance with the practice room of the Maha Temple, and even the recipe of the decoction is exactly the same."
"One day of cultivation here is worth half a month of penance."
"The pure medicinal soup steaming method produced by Mahaji not only allows the warrior to fully absorb the essence of ginseng, but also does not take too many impurities, and even allows the body to absorb the medicinal properties and play the role of forging the body."
The boss of the practice workshop was a thin little old man, and when he saw Chu Qianqiu's interest, he jumped out directly, grabbed it, and began to talk about his own practice workshop.
"One or two pieces of silver for an hour, right, come for 5 hours first, and if you don't have time, you are not allowed to disturb." Chu Qianqiu directly took out 5 taels of silver and gave it to the thin old man.
Compared with the first cycle of deduction and search, he has now become a rich man who spends money.
"Well, you can really know the goods!"
"Xiao Lao'er's practice workshop is authentic and built according to the standards of the Maha Temple."
"1 tael of silver for an hour, it's definitely worth the money."
The thin old man was so excited, he didn't expect this business to fall from the sky, and it seemed that his dream of making a fortune would soon be completed.
"If you talk this nonsense, I'll choose the first room."
"I don't have time, I'm not allowed to disturb, I bring my own dry food, I understand." Chu Qianqiu didn't bother to bother with the old man, and went directly into the practice workshop.
"It's time for the old man to get rich."
"It's not in vain that I stole my granddaughter's dowry!"
The thin old man bit down on the silver, and when he found out that it was genuine, he began to get busy.
The room in the workshop was a little cramped, there was nothing for daily life, there was a bucket, and there was a futon for practice.
The futon was placed in the center, and in the center was an iron shelf, and when you looked under the iron shelf, there was a pipe opening upward.
This workshop has a blast furnace dedicated to steaming medicinal herbs, and when a customer comes, the pipes in the corresponding room are opened to let the medicinal incense evaporate, which is quite cleverly designed.
In addition, the whole room is covered with strict blue tiles, and only the skylight opens to let in a little sunlight.
During the first cycle, Chu Qianqiu came here to practice for several hours, which was worth ten days of hard training, and the effect was very good.
But this time, he didn't come here to practice, but to put a cover on the six doors.
This trick is called hiding from the sky and crossing the sea!
Chu Qianqiu quickly took off his gray clothes and changed them into black clothes, creating the illusion that a person was practicing here.
Even if Six Doors is here, they will doubt their true whereabouts and buy more time.
After Chu Qianqiu finished changing his clothes, he took advantage of the old man's inattention, slipped directly from the practice workshop, went around and returned to the market in the town, and then spent a few pennies to buy a mask to wear on.
After making all the disguises, Chu Qianqiu walked towards the most famous pharmacy in the town, Baixiang Pavilion.
Baixiang Pavilion is the earliest force to take root in Baixiang Town, where it acquired natural treasures and planted elixirs, which gradually developed into a village, and eventually became a well-known prosperous town, and even the name of the town was named after Baixiang Pavilion.
As the saying goes, the poor are rich in martial arts, and in this prosperous world of martial arts, almost every martial artist can be regarded as a medicine jar.
The business of the pharmacy is not booming, and Baixiang Pavilion sits on dozens of hills outside the town, growing all kinds of medicinal herbs, and is naturally wealthy.
Even this storefront has been built into a nine-story high-rise building, magnificent, completely different from ordinary pharmacies, not to mention in the town, even in the state capital, it is also first-class eye-catching.
It is said that in order to prevent mosquitoes, the pillars of this Baixiang Pavilion are made of century-old camphor wood transported from the South Seas, and it is unimaginably extravagant.
It is by no means comparable to the pharmacy that ordinary people go to, and the natural rules are also very strict.
As soon as Chu Qianqiu's left foot wanted to enter this Baixiang Pavilion, an attendant stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Whoever wears linen is not allowed to enter."
Mai is very cheap, cheaper than cotton clothes, so most of the people who wear sackcloth are poor.
The poor were not allowed to enter, which was a matter of course for the attendants.
However, the squire's tone was not tough, but gave a gentle point
"If you want to buy some ordinary medicinal herbs, go two hundred steps to the left, and there is a street of medicinal herbs."
Okay, I'm worried that you won't play this one.
"It stands to reason that you really can't go in sackcloth."
"Then with this, can you go in in sackcloth?"
Chu Qianqiu did not angrily reprimand the attendant, but instead took out a silver ticket from his arms, with a face value of 1,000 taels, and shook it in front of the attendant's eyes.
"Honored guests are coming, rude, rude!"
The servant was indeed a clever man, and immediately bent down and bowed, and hurriedly summoned a servant girl with gestures, who had slender legs and a plump body, and although she was not ashamed of the moon, she was also beautiful, and at first glance she was a maid who served your guests.
I saw the maid coming with a smile on her face, and respectfully led Chu Qianqiu into the palatial Baixiang Pavilion.
This is the second trick that Chu Qianqiu came up with for the six doors, virtual and real!
It should be both low-key and high-profile.
Let the people of the six doors look at the flowers in the fog and can't recognize themselves.
The six doors are indeed powerful, and Baixiang Town has their eyeliner and spies everywhere.
But they had neither a video recorder nor a photo, they changed into two outfits, wore a mask, and generously came to Baixiang Pavilion to spend a lot of money, how big should the gap between this character image and the original Chu Qianqiu?
Judging from the results of the first three cycles, they did not have the luxury of sending innate masters to follow them day and night.
After all, there is Huang Qianhu, a great master, if the six doors blatantly send people to follow him, it is very likely that Huang Qianhu will be killed directly as a Great Xia spy, and then the six doors can only knock out teeth and swallow blood.
Therefore, they had to sort out all the information before it was possible to determine their identity, which created the time difference that Chu Qianqiu needed the most.
"Do you want to go directly to the second floor, or do you want to enjoy the first floor first?" The maid led Chu Qianqiu into the attic, all the medicinal materials were placed in a specific position, and the air was filled with thousands of medicinal fragrances, which were mixed but not chaotic, but formed a mellow and strange fragrance.
"What's inside each floor of the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion?"
"It's the first time to see the adults, this Baixiang Pavilion has a total of nine floors, divided into the first three floors, the middle three floors, and the back three floors."
"The first three floors are open to all guests, the middle third floor is open to distinguished guests, and the last three floors are only accessible to those who have been invited by the pavilion owner."
Oh, that sounds interesting.
I didn't expect this Baixiang Pavilion to have a membership system and a VIP system in the previous life, so as to enhance the privileged experience of customer consumption.
"So what makes a guest?" Chu Qianqiu asked curiously while wearing a mask.
"People who consume more than 10,000 taels on the first three floors will be honored after being certified by the pavilion master."
Even if you have 10,000 taels of silver on you, you can't be here—
"It's easy, let's start buying."
