Chapter Seventy-Five: The Collective Crossing
After Shao Xi counted the silver tickets in his hand, he took out a thousand gold silver tickets from them and handed them back to the shopkeeper Cao.
"Previously, the branch of your bank in Qingshan County borrowed a thousand gold to help a friend by borrowing the face of the shopkeeper of Zhangda, and now that he has cash on hand, it is better to pay it back now."
Shopkeeper Cao said with a smile on his face: "Shao Gongzi is indeed a trustworthy person, he has only borrowed it for a few days, and he wants to pay it back when he has cash in hand, there are really not many people like you." I don't know what kind of friend it is? Can Shao Gongzi be so attentive and spare no expense to help? β
"In short, it's hard to say, don't say it."
Mentioning this, Shao Xi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart.
Shopkeeper Cao is a smart man, seeing that Shao Xi is reluctant to talk about it, it is naturally inconvenient to ask more, after putting away the silver ticket of 1,000 gold, he said to Shao Xi: "If Shao Gongzi still needs money in the future, just open his mouth to us, and we will definitely do our best to help." β
Shao Xi arched his hand to the shopkeeper Cao and said: "If you are in trouble, you will naturally inevitably come to trouble the shopkeeper Cao, thank you in advance, if you need to help with anything, the shopkeeper Cao can only open his mouth, and it is also incumbent on him." β
"Shao Gongzi is really a righteous person, no wonder the big shopkeeper will give his gold medal to Gongzi. Childe is here to come to Kyoto Daliang City, can he have a place to stay? Now that Gongzi has only sold a small part of his belongings, he has made a lot of profits, but do you plan to settle down in this Daliang City and operate for a long time? β
"I just arrived at Daliang today, and I haven't even recognized the road. However, the shopkeeper Cao reminded me that the stay in the beam will not be too short, and maybe he will really live here for a long time, but I don't know if the shopkeeper Cao has a way to buy a property? β
Shopkeeper Cao raised his hand and stroked the beard on his chin, and said to Shao Xi with a smile: "Naturally, there is a way, but I don't know what kind of property Shao Gongzi wants to buy?" Are you looking for a quiet and elegant place in this bustling and lively area? β
Shao Xi lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "Although the lively place is good, I prefer a quieter place, as long as it is easy to enter and exit, but I don't know how much money it will cost to buy such an industry?" β
In fact, Shao Xi's idea is very simple, although he wants to buy an industry to settle down, but after all, he and Lao Wu have to avoid the enemy, so naturally they can't act too high-profile, and living a little farther away is a good choice.
"Childe must not be confused by today's situation, the people who come today are all dignitaries, rich businessmen, so this silver money looks like dung, in fact, the purchase of property in this Daliang City, compared to the silver money that Gongzi got today, it is really not worth mentioning, but more than 100 gold."
When Shao Xi heard this, how much money did he make? Buying a house in Kyoto Daliang City is actually more than 100 gold? Is it too cheap, or is it too inflated to have a few dollars of your own?
"In this case, this matter will be entrusted to the shopkeeper Cao, I will stay in the inn for a few days, and then I will move in after the shopkeeper Cao will help me do this, and I will thank the shopkeeper Cao."
Everything was arranged, and Shao Xi only needed a month later for the firm to withdraw the remaining money. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Shao Xi got up and said goodbye and left Taihe Trading House.
When he walked out of the gate of Taihe Commercial Bank, Shao Xi was still pondering in his heart, "Lao Wu, this old guy slipped out without a sound, and I don't know where he went?" What are you going to do? Could it be that you are hungry and rush to the kitchen of the restaurant to steal food? β
was thinking about it, but was pulled into the alley by the sudden appearance of Lao Wu, and was inexplicably startled.
"What the hell are you old guy? I slipped away without saying a word just now, did you run away to do your old business again? Now that we're all so rich, why can't you get rid of your bad habit of stealing? β
I saw Lao Wu nervously looking left and right, and said to Shao Xi in a low voice: "Young master, you can be quiet!" Do you know who bought your glass items today? β
"Who is it? It's a rich man! It's my God of Wealth, why are you asking this? β
"Young master, ten years have passed, and he naturally can't recognize you when you have grown up, and my appearance has not changed much, and I didn't disguise myself before entering the city, so when I recognized him, I could only sneak out and hide first, and the black-robed man who bought your glass products was the culprit who burned down the Fengjiazhuang and slaughtered more than sixty people from all over the Feng family?"
Shao Xi was shocked when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that the person who Lao Wu had been hiding with him all these years would appear in front of him today, but he didn't know it.
It's no wonder that Shao Xi, he hadn't experienced the things that happened in Fengjiazhuang at all, and everything he knew was only from Feng Yuyan's memory, and the personal feeling of losing his home and relatives was not obvious in his heart.
But now that he knows that the person who has always wanted to kill him is by his side, Shao Xi is really afraid. Although he has some ability now, he can guess how much energy the other party has, and now let alone a hard touch, even if he is caught by the other party, he will definitely die. Now that he has just made a fortune and become a rich man, Shao Xi doesn't want to lose his life so early.
What is the biggest regret in life? It's just that the person died, and the money didn't have time to spend it.
"Damn, you didn't say it earlier! I also asked Shopkeeper Cao to set up an industry in the city, isn't this the same as living under the noses of the enemy? Isn't this mouse looking for death when he wanders around in front of the cat all day long? β
"That's not the case, with the industry, we have a place to hide, it's better than walking around the streets like now, right?"
Lao Wu's idea was that since he had already come to Daliang City, it was better to have a stable residence than to hide in Tibet. As long as you don't go out and don't wander around, it's actually still a little dark under the light.
"Young Master, don't worry too much, that black-robed man just knows me, you have changed quite a lot over the years. We hurry up to eat, and then find an inn to stay, as long as we do disguise and disguise before going out on the street every day, it is not a big deal, but we should be low-key and cautious. β
Shao Xi nodded in agreement and said: "It's up to you to do this, let's find a place to live first, and we will live in it after two days when the industry is purchased, and we don't go out on weekdays." β
After discussing the matter, the two found a nearby restaurant. Now that he has money, he naturally no longer sits in the lobby, and directly asks for a private room upstairs, so that he can have less contact with the crowd, so as not to bump into the black-robed man again.
When he was going upstairs, he happened to meet the thin man who bought Shao Xi's Tianyan Stone at the bidding meeting.
"This product bought my Tianyan Stone, and when I photographed that gold silk soft armor, I spent all the money from selling Tianyan Stone, and I don't know where this guy came from? Pretty rich! β
The two sides glanced at each other, passed by, and went to their own private rooms.
If you have money, you don't have to gnaw on hard beef jerky anymore. Lao Wu really didn't give up, and ordered a table of good dishes as soon as he opened his mouth.
What poems and ginkgo biloba, one egg hatching two phoenixes, what ribbon on the court, flower laurel fish, jade belt shrimp, oily beans, what eight immortals cross the sea to make arhats, white grilled through the wings, and called a pot of good mulberry wine.
Shao Xi sat on the side and looked dumbfounded, the money that this old guy stole before was probably used by him to eat and drink, right? Why are you so good at eating? So much meat is not afraid of eating a bad stomach?
Lao Wu just sat there like this, taking a sip of wine, a mouthful of food, and eating it was called a beauty. Shao Xi was wondering why there are eight immortals crossing the sea in this world? How can there be Confucian cuisine? It felt like I was missing something. Could it be that the eight immortals and the Yansheng Mansion have also crossed over like themselves?
After drinking a pot, Lao Wu beckoned Xiao Er to serve another pot of mulberry wine.
The interest in drinking was high, and this old guy also came to say, "Pucheng mulberry wine, Ba'an chrysanthemum autumn." β
Shao Xi listened to the chopsticks and fell to the ground.
"Your uncle! It's not just the eight immortals and the descendants of the Kong family who have crossed over, has it been that even Yu Xin has crossed over? And you, old guy, why are you still worried about chrysanthemum autumn in your heart while drinking mulberry wine? β
But when he turned his head and thought about it, Shao Xi had already gotten used to it. People either traveled to the Han and Tang dynasties, or to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and they traveled to a dynasty that they didn't know what dynasty it was, anyway, this is the Jingyuan Dynasty, which has never been mentioned in the history books.
Anyway, he can't go back, it's the same everywhere, not to mention that he just made a fortune, even if he is allowed to go back now, he won't go back. Don't you put a lot of gold and silver and don't go back and continue to be that security guard? Don't want it!
The two men were eating, and suddenly a man walked in through the door.
When Shao Xi felt that someone was coming in, he was still thinking in his heart: "The wine and food are all served, and I didn't call Xiao Er to come, who is so rude to break in?" Could it be that you went to the wrong room? β
Raising his eyes and looking at the door, Shao Xi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a little surprised in his heart.
"What is he running here for? Do you want what I have? β
The person standing at the door was the thin man who had passed by him before who had bought his own Tianyan Stone at the auction and competed with him for the gold silk soft armor.
When Shao Xi saw him for the first time, he was thinking in his heart that if he came to find him with his heart, it was nothing more than two things. The same is the gold silk soft armor that he couldn't buy before, and the other may be worried about whether there is an extra Tianyan Stone in his hand, and it can be seen that this person attaches great importance to Tianyan Stone and must have a need.
Lao Wu was busy picking up the dishes on his plate, but he just glanced up at the man in front of the door. Then he poured another glass of wine, drank it into his stomach in one gulp, and twisted his beard before he spoke.
"This is far away, the little marquis of the Tang Sect ran to Daliang City in Kyoto, presumably the third master must have sent something, right? I wonder if the other marquis also came? Is there something going on with me today? Xiao Hou might as well say it directly. β
"Little monkey? Tang Gate? Shao Xi seemed to remember that Guo Youde called the tenement building a little monkey back then, and said that there were seven in total.
But why call it a monkey? Is it because it looks like a monkey? Although the one in front of me looks a bit similar, the tenement building doesn't look like a monkey no matter how you look at it!
And, how many are you looking for?
