Chapter Twenty-Nine: Don't Worship the Pier
Xiao Rongzhan took a sip of tea, and the corners of his lips slightly hooked up an imperceptible smile: "Sixth brother, you are right, the third young lady is really smart." It's just that the third lady misunderstood this king, and this king didn't disdain it. It's just that I've heard people say that the pawnshop counter is as high as the court, and this king was still fantasizing about what it would be like at the time, but now I finally see it, and there is not much difference from what I thought in my heart, so I laughed. ”
Xiao Rongzhan, the cold-faced and cold-blooded ruthless prince in his previous life, was as warm as a spring breeze? Yuan Xi frowned, and couldn't help but wonder if his previous life was in vain.
"Open the door, open the door, open the door!" A rapid and angry slamming sound interrupted Xiao Rongzhan's words, and several big guys came out of the back hall one after another, Liu Tianbao shouted viciously: "Who!"
"Lao Tzu!"
Liu Tianbao said in a low voice: "The owner, listening to the voice, it seems to be the king's shopkeeper of Fuxianju in Beishi. ”
Everyone in the Beishi Fuxianju industry knows that Shopkeeper Wang is a well-known scoundrel who secretly colludes with a gang of gangs engaged in black market trading. Therefore, people who do business can hide from the king's shopkeeper and never touch him. Yuan Xi thought for a moment, and asked himself if there was anything to offend him, and he had a three-point bottom in his heart.
Liu Tianbao panicked in his heart and asked quietly: "Third Miss, I'm afraid he's here to find trouble." What are we going to do? Why don't I go out the back door and report to the police?"
"Presumptuous!" Xiao Rongrun saw that Liu Tianbao was also panicked, and he slapped his palm on the table for a while. He is a well-known chivalrous king, and he fights everywhere, but he is not light or heavy, so people gradually changed the word "chivalry" to the word "evil". Yuan Xi was afraid that he would have another incident, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "The sixth master is angry, you sit down for a while, and let the people deal with it." ”
Yuan Xi neatly brushed his sideburns and said gently, "Open the door." ”
Liu Tianbao and Li Lin pulled the door together, and fell into two people who looked like guys. They fell and gnawed on, causing Xiao Rongrun to laugh. Shopkeeper Wang twisted his fat and short figure and stepped into the door: "I said, Xiaowei Dongjia, do you understand the rules of this capital?"
Yuan Xi looked him up and down, and said coldly: "I don't know what kind of rules the shopkeeper Wang said?"
"Hehe?!" Shopkeeper Wang laughed twice and looked left and right: "She is still pretending to be confused?!
Yuan Xi's eyes flashed: "Slow!" Everyone stopped at her drink.
The shopkeeper Wang rubbed the two shiny lion-headed walnuts in his hand: "What's the matter?"
Yuan Xi sneered and said: "What the shopkeeper Wang means is that if you break the rules of the capital, you have to smash the store, then I don't understand, what are the rules you are talking about? But if this is not good, take you cats and dogs and get out of here immediately!"
The man under the door of the shopkeeper of the king clenched his fists, clenched a creaking sound, and said: "The old rule, every store in the capital is opened, you must go to Fuxianju to worship the wharf, and gold and silver are not taboo. Since you don't know the rules, I'll teach you!"
A smile gradually faded, and Yuan Xi covered his mouth and smiled: "Shopkeeper Wang, I'm afraid you don't know whose store this is." I don't care what rules you have or not, since I'm here today, I'll also set a rule for you, don't step into Xiyintang for half a step in the future, if you commit it, you will chop it wherever you commit. ”
"You, little slut, you are just relying on the power of your Lao Tzu, even you Lao Tzu is afraid of me, you stinky yellow-haired girl, you dare to speak wildly, I think you are impatient. Smash me, brothers!" roared the king's shopkeeper, and a dozen of his men showed their axes and clubs.
Xiao Rongrun saw that things were not good, and was about to come out to take care of them, but was held down by Rong Zhan. Rong Zhan sat steadily, Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face did not change: "Don't worry, take a look again." ”
"I'll see which of you dares to move!" Yuan Xi took a step back: "Shopkeeper Wang, can't you see that the plaque hanging in my lobby is a plaque inscribed by Lord Jing Zhao Yin Lan himself? You don't inquire, who is Mrs. Jing Zhao Yin? No matter how hard the dock behind you is, can it be hard enough to pass the government? No matter how hard you dare to make trouble, believe it or not, I will let you get out of the capital immediately?!"
The shopkeeper raised his eyes and looked, and the four big characters of "Wealth and Prosperity" on the gilded black background on the lobby were there. He recognized Jingzhao Yin Lan Chengjie's handwriting, but the plaque written by Lan Chengjie was also the first time he had seen it, and he was a little short of breath for a while. A young man next to him came up and whispered: "Shopkeeper, it seems that this Xiyintang does have official power, let's get off the donkey, right?"
The shopkeeper Wang's face was pale, and he nodded weakly at Yuanxi: "Okay, okay, you yellow-haired girl, you are really your father's baby, count you ruthless!"
"Stop!" Yuan Xi dusted off his sleeves and said coldly: "Yaowu has been arrogant for a long time, saying a lot of dirty words, not even saying a soft word, and wanting to leave when he raises his feet?"
"Don't deceive people too much, I'm just looking at the face of Lord Lan and don't care about you yellow-haired girl!" Although he was unforgiving, his legs and feet had already stepped out of Xi Yin Hall very honestly.
Liu Tianbao saw that the shopkeeper had retreated, and laughed sarcastically: "Don't be a toad on the bench - if you are scared, you will be afraid, don't pretend to be five or six." If Lord Lan knew that you called his goddaughter Huangmao'er, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to eat and walk around!"
"Goddaughter, Lord Lan's goddaughter?" Li Lin looked at Liu Tianbao in amazement.
Liu Tianbao said with a smile: "Yes, Lord Lan has long recognized our young lady as his goddaughter." ”
Li Lin bit his lip and did not speak. But the shopkeeper was embarrassed: "What do you want?"
Liu Tianbao clasped his hands in his arms, leaned on the door frame, and squinted at the shopkeeper Wang: "I don't have any skills, and I dare to fool around." ”
In the past, it was just to frighten the bandits and gangsters, but I didn't expect it to be of such use today. It seems that opening a shop and doing business in the capital, without the background of the government, will add a lot of trouble, my father has never deliberately curried favor with the government, I don't know how many detours he usually has to take. Yuan Xi glanced at Xiao Rongzhan and Xiao Rongrun, and suddenly realized that it was necessary for him to make good friends with these two princes.
Yuan Xi beckoned, asked Ruan Er to take a hundred taels of silver from the counter, and said to the shopkeeper with a cold face: "Since there is this rule in the capital, then I will also join in the fun." There are a hundred taels of silver here, even if I worship the gift money from the pier, the money is not much, don't be too little. ”
The man under the king's shopkeeper wanted to reach out to take it, but was stopped by the king's shopkeeper. He was also hesitating, thinking that the young lady of the Wei family was a pampered master who could handle it at will. Unexpectedly, he was also a person with both grace and power, and he was quite skillful. Now that she takes this money, her taste has changed, as if she owes her a favor. But if he doesn't accept the reward for Lord Lan's goddaughter, won't he lose face for Lord Lan?
Won-hee gave Ruan Er a look, and Ruan Er stuffed the silver into the hands of one of the guys. The shopkeeper couldn't hold it on his face, and he didn't know whether to thank or apologize. Yuan Xi looked at the shopkeeper Wang with a dignified gaze, and was not polite at all: "The rules that the shopkeeper said before, I have never heard of it before, since there is this rule, then it is not good because I break the rules, take it, no more, no less." ”
The shopkeeper was choked for a moment, and a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old spoke so decently and generously, like a person in her thirties and forties. There was a trace of panic on his face: "This, this is not very good, Third Miss, I don't know the reason, I offended Third Miss, don't be surprised, everyone will be a family in the future......"
"Don't, don't. Yuan Xi tightened his face and did not show a trace of smile, which caused the shopkeeper Wang to feel apprehensive. Yuan Xi said lightly: "Xi Yintang is a small business, and I can't get on the stage, so I really don't dare to be among the seniors, so as not to make jokes and lose the face of my Wei family." ”
This is very clear, our Wei family is an upright businessman, how can we be the same as a black market merchant who is vicious and strong? The shopkeeper Wang naturally heard what Yuan Xi meant, so he nodded curtly and said yes again and again.
Yuan Xi saw that the shopkeeper Wang was completely soft, so he gave a step: "I see that a few people have fallen very lightly, and this little bit of broken silver is even if their medical expenses are good." Today's affairs should not happen, you buy your jewelry, I will open my pawnshop, and the road will go half of the sky, and no one will delay anyone. Shopkeeper Wang, it's inconvenient today, I'll visit you another day, and I won't keep you today. Liu Tianbao, send off!"
After sending off the shopkeeper Wang, Yuan Xi looked at the plaque in the lobby and was afraid for a while.
"Miss Wei, this king is really impressed with you," Xiao Rongrun walked to Yuan Xi's side with a smile and pointed to the plaque: "It turns out that you are Lan Chengjie's goddaughter, no wonder Mrs. Lan handed over this king's errand to you." Don't say it, Lan Chengjie's two strokes are really good. ”
"The sixth master laughed," Yuan Xi said with a smile: "This is the second time that a folk girl has played a fox and a fake tiger in front of the prince." ”
Xiao Rongrun laughed heartily: "I didn't expect you, a cunning little fox, to have such a heroic side among women." However, Won-hee, if they really beat people indiscriminately, what will you do?"
"That'...... Then you can only hide behind your back, Lord Wang. ”
"Well, that's right. Xiao Rongrun was obviously surprised by such an answer, but this answer was very kind to him. Xiao Rongrun took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Yuan Xi: "This is for you, if someone who is an official and a slaughterer comes to make it difficult for you, you can show them this." ”
Yuan Xi shook his head: "The people's daughter thanks the prince for his gift, but the people's daughter can't ask for it, let alone the people who are officials and slaughterers, how can they come to provoke us small businessmen?"
"Oh, tell you to take it. Xiao Rongrun couldn't help but stuff the jade pendant in Yuan Xi's hand, and hurriedly called Xiao Rongzhan to leave Xiyin Hall.
