Chapter Forty-Nine: Sudden Hostility

"Is he that Xiao Chen? A eunuch, there is nothing surprising about it, and I don't know why Xiang Ye is so scruples. ”

On the city tower, a young man in armor looked coldly at Xiao Chen and his party who walked out of the city gate.

The man is one of the Jiangmen families in the capital, Cao Liang, the second son of Cao Bin, the Duke of Qin, and his status is noble, needless to say, because the Cao family is friendly with the Zhou family, Cao Liang is also full of hostility towards Xiao Chen, who has repeatedly destroyed the good things of the Zhou family.

"Come on, go and send a message to Di Saburo, let him set up a table in Fuchunfang tonight, invite our Lord Xiao, have a good drink, and by the way, invite an Oiran to serve."

Cao Liang waved his hand, and a soldier guarding the city immediately received the order and retreated.

He continued to stand boredly on the castle tower, slandering in his heart, and he did not know who had made the rule that every generation must come to serve as a lieutenant in the forbidden army.

……

"Xiao Chenzi, where are we going to play first?"

Ji Yunlan, who was dressed as a man, looked at the lively capital and was excited, which made Xiao Chen beside him a little big.

Naturally, there are not only two of them who came out this time.

Xiao Chen and Ji Yunlan each brought an entourage, Wei Feng and Zizhu, Zizhu is still dressed as a woman, in Dachu, it is not a strange thing to take a maid out.

Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't reply, Ji Yunlan took the initiative to say, "I heard that the Qinglou is good, why don't we go there and have a look?" ”

Xiao Chen sweated, and said in his heart that you are a princess!

Take the princess to visit the kiln? What's the matter!

"Princess, didn't you say when you came out, you listen to the villain? Isn't there something wrong with this green building? ”

"Don't call me a princess outside, so as not to reveal your identity, and call me Ji Gongzi in the future! What's wrong with this son's visit to a green building. ”

Ji Yunlan said nonchalantly.

"Yes...... Then can Ji Gongzi let me do some business first? As for the Qinglou, before returning to the palace, let's take a look. ”

Xiao Chen's face was full of helplessness, and he knew that it was not good to bring this princess out, but there was no way, he could only retreat.

Fortunately, Ji Yunlan was not so unreasonable, and reluctantly agreed.

At this time, Xiao Chen looked at Wei Feng, "Do you know where the largest medicine shop in the city is?" ”

Dongchang often comes out to handle cases, and when it comes to understanding the capital, Wei Feng is obviously the most knowledgeable in the group.

Sure enough, Wei Feng replied without thinking: "If you want to talk about the largest pharmacy in the city, it should be Zhongcaotang, Gongzi wants to buy medicine?" ”

Xiao Chen nodded, "But there are other medicine shops?" ”

"Other ......"

Wei Feng groaned slightly, "The Zhongcaotang family in the capital is big, and the business of the other companies is not big, if you want to say that the famous ones are Dejitang and Qingbao Pharmacy." ”

After listening, Xiao Chen touched his chin, "Let's go to Zhongcaotang first, if it's not suitable, then go to the other two to have a look." ”

He came to the pharmacy to discuss business.

Naturally, it is impossible to fight in one family, and prepare a few more alternatives in order to have an advantage in negotiations.

Ji Yunlan was also curious, and she didn't object to Xiao Chen's decision, so the group came to the outside of the middle grass hall.

As soon as the four of them walked into the store, a guy immediately greeted them with a smile, "A few guest officers, what do you want?" ”

Although Xiao Chen and the others are wearing ordinary clothes, no matter how bad the things in the palace are, they are also rare good things outside.

Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and nodded, "You shopkeepers are here, I have a business for you." ”

"This ......"

The guy was embarrassed, Zhongcaotang was no better than other small shops, and the shopkeeper was not something that everyone could see, so he asked carefully: "This son, dare to ask what you want to buy?" ”

"Manganese."

Xiao Chen spit out two words.

In later generations, this thing was commonly used in the chemical industry or as a fertilizer, but in ancient times, it was a medicine.

That's why he came to the pharmacy.

But when the guy heard this, he was not happy, and thought it was some big business, just to buy manganese?

That thing is pretty much the cheapest medicine in the store.

Even if you buy a lot, ten pounds and eight pounds are up to the sky, but this is still less than the consistent money, that's all? Do you still want to see your own shopkeeper?

"What? Don't you have one? ”

Xiao Chen frowned, could it be that no one in Da Chu had used the manganese salt, this would be difficult to do.

The guy sneered and waved his hand perfunctorily, "Of course there is manganese, you go there and pay for it yourself, what kind of shopkeeper do you see?" Our shopkeeper is busy. ”

Depend on!

Looking at this guy's attitude, Xiao Chen instantly understood, this is being looked down upon!

Ji Yunlan couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker, how fresh, the overseer of the East Factory, was ridiculed by a guy who sold medicine!

"I want a lot of money."

Xiao Chen's face darkened, "I'm afraid you won't be able to be the master." ”

Fun man, I can't be the master? With this cheap thing, I can't be the master?

"How many pounds are you going to buy?" The guy asked.

"Ten thousand catties."

Xiao Chen said lightly.

"Ten thousand catties? Where did the madman come from, buy 10,000 catties, go and go, hurry up, don't get in the way of my business. ”

The guy glanced at a few people with contempt, and then issued an eviction order, although miscanthus can be used in medicine, there are not many places where it can be used, and there are fewer people who buy it usually.

I want to buy 10,000 catties at once, and the guy doesn't believe it at all!

Completely treat them as troublemakers.

The guy snorted coldly, "Let me tell you, our owner is not easy to mess with, no matter what kind of family you are, don't come to fight our Zhongcaotang's idea." ”

Wei Feng couldn't help it, and stood up and scolded: "Bold! How dare you ......"

"That's enough, since Zhongcaotang doesn't do this business, let's do it elsewhere."

Xiao Chen stopped drinking in time and walked outside with a few people.

Seeing that guy behaving like this, he also dismissed the idea of cooperating with Zhongcaotang, and more importantly, to be able to make the business so big, Zhongcaotang's background must be not small!

If you cooperate with them, I am afraid that you will seek skin with the tiger, and with Concubine Jing's little power, you will not be able to suppress others.

"Childe, where are we going now?"

Wei Feng asked.

Xiao Chen was just about to speak, when a carriage suddenly stopped in front of him, and a middle-aged man walked out and saluted respectfully, "But Lord Xiao is now?" ”

"It's me, Your Excellency?"

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, he had just been out of the palace for a while, and someone knew his whereabouts?

The middle-aged man bowed deeply, "I've seen Lord Xiao, my young master Di Ying heard that Lord Wen Gai Shixian wanted to make friends, and he set up a special banquet to invite Lord Overseer to have a drink." ”

Ji Yunlan turned her head to look at Xiao Chen, "Di Ying? Isn't that the third son of Di Zhiqiu's family? Do you know him? ”

"I've never seen it, but since it's so warmly invited, then Xiao is disrespectful."

Although he didn't know what he meant, Xiao Chen still agreed.

He also wanted to see who had been keeping an eye on his whereabouts and what his intentions were.

Everyone got into the carriage and soon came to the place where the banquet was held, looking at the plaque hanging on the gate, the corners of Xiao Chen's mouth were also slightly raised, Fuxiangfang, this is really a good place.

Wei Feng's face changed suddenly, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes, the overseer is a eunuch, please invite the eunuch to come to Qinglou? What a humiliation!!

Ji Yunlan was a little surprised, "This is the Qinglou!" Hahaha, Xiao Chen, don't you see this is coming? ”
