On one side of the street, the cheerful sound of gongs and drums kept coming. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Two very tall pavilions, a multi-treasure pavilion, a Wanbao building, are full of welcoming maids standing in front of the door, the steward at the door is full of smiles, from time to time to welcome the passing guests into the building, and a smaller pavilion in the middle of the two floors, but the door is full of birds, no one patronizes.

"Steward Yu, you're not right, this guest was originally going to Hua Bao Xuan, why did you take it away?"

In front of the pavilion, a young cultivator looked directly at the steward of Wanbao Tower, very dissatisfied.

"Do you know where the guests are willing to go?"

The steward was quite disdainful, turned his head and looked at the guest with a smile, "Guest officer, our Wanbaolou is a time-honored brand, we have everything we want, and the auction is about to start, don't miss it, it's a big auction that many monks are waiting for." ”

The young cultivator argued, "We also have an auction in Hua Bao Xuan, and there are a lot of things......

"Hmph, what's good about the newly opened brand?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted, the steward glared at the young cultivator, then turned to the guest, and said quite solemnly, "Guest officer, what kind of Hua Bao Xuan is this, have anyone heard of it before? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

The young cultivator's face was pale and a little angry, but no one paid attention to it.

The guest thought for a while, nodded and said, "The steward is right, in fact, I didn't go to Huabaoxuan, I just passed by casually, I want to see the auction, I want to buy things, of course, I still have to go to Wanbaolou." ”

Hua Lin was a little angry, "Didn't you, tell me a few days ago?"

"The guest officer has a vision, please come with me. ”

The steward nodded slightly, glanced at the young cultivator with disdain, and walked away haughtily.

The young cultivator watched the guests leave, and he was also helpless, "Alas", he sighed, turned back to the front of the building, and waited for the next guest to come over, but the chance was not big, and he had failed dozens of times, and he was already in despair.

It didn't take long for several cultivators to walk over slowly and stand straight in front of Hua Bao Xuan.

"Huh?"

The young cultivator was stunned, and when he saw the person coming, he said with some surprise, "Zhou...... Zhou Daoyou?"

Zhou Shu nodded slightly, "Hua Daoyou, it's me." ”

"I didn't expect Zhou Daoyou to really come over, I'm so grateful, little brother, I'll take you in. ”

Hua Lin showed a lot of joy and hurriedly walked in front.

"I promised Daoyou, I will naturally do it," Zhou Shu smiled slightly, "Hua Daoyou, your Hua Baoxuan's business doesn't look very good." ”

"Alas. ”

Hua Lin sighed, "There's really no way to ......"

Hua Bao Xuan has long been ready to open today, the selected location is also good, there are no other businesses around, I thought I could welcome a lot of customers, but who knew that just yesterday overnight, there were immediately two more newly opened Wanbao Lou and Duobao Pavilion around.

A big business like Wanbaolou has strong strength, and it is really easy to build a pavilion in one day, but the newly opened Huabaoxuan does not have such strength, and it cannot change its location quickly, nor does it have the ability to let others relocate, so it can only be like this.

Now two big businesses are open next to Hua Bao Xuan at the same time, attracting guests and deliberately suppressing them, so that Hua Bao Xuan is open for a long time, but few people come in, even the guests who promised to come to Hua Bao Xuan before refused to come, and most of them went to the businesses on the side.

Speaking of this, he seemed to have a lot of bitter water, and he poured it out at once.

Zhou Shu nodded slightly, for the sake of interests, the merchants suppressed their peers can be said to be unscrupulous, and they do everything they can, at least here, it is difficult for Huabaoxuan to continue to open.

Walking to the elegant hall on the second floor, Hua Lin said with a smile, "A few Taoist friends sit for a while, and when there are more people in a while, the auction will start. ”

He exchanged a few pleasantries, and then ordered the maid to serve tea and wait, and was about to leave in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry to go to the door again to solicit guests.

Zhou Shu smiled slightly, "Hua Daoyou, if there are no guests all the time, won't the auction be held?"

Hua Lin froze in place, his face was red, then white, and said ruthlessly, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised, if the auction can't be opened in the end, I will sell the demon pill directly to Daoyou." ”

"Hua Daoyou, I didn't mean that," Zhou Shu shook his head and sat down slowly, "Soliciting guests like you is just afraid that you won't be able to attract many people." ”

Hao Ruyun also followed, "That's right, you see how powerful the two stewards on the side are, you don't speak loudly, and there are no monks to help create an atmosphere, so it will definitely not work." ”

In front of the pavilions of the big merchants, there are monks who use magic tricks to create all kinds of dazzling means, or beautiful women with flowers, or spiritual objects that are gradually blooming, or strange treasures that are being cast...... It is also very effective to attract the attention of past guests.

Yangmei didn't speak, only shook her head slightly.

Hua Lin pondered for a moment and sighed, "I can't do those things now, and I know that it is difficult for me to do this, but I have to do it if it is difficult, otherwise what can I do." ”

"Well, it's always good to persevere. ”

Zhou Shu raised his eyes and looked around, looking left and right about him, "Hua Daoyou, you said before that Hua Baoxuan is strong and doesn't need to be bad for those big merchants, but I don't think it's as good as you said before?"

Hua Bao Xuan is only a three-story small building, the interior decoration is also quite simple, and there is no luxurious furnishing arrangement, it looks far less comfortable than Ruyi Building, not to mention the luxurious Wanbao Building, no matter how you compare, it does not look like a very powerful business.

Hua Lin's face was slightly red, "I'm sorry, the little brother didn't deliberately deceive Daoyou...... But in fact, Hua Bao Xuan is indeed very powerful, but it is not ...... now."

"Oh?"

Zhou Shu stared at him and wanted to ask clearly.

"There are some words, I don't know if I should say them...... Hua Lin was a little speechless, and he wanted to stop talking.

Zhou Shu smiled slightly, "If Daoyou makes it clear, we may be able to help you, if you don't want to say it, then there is no way, we will sit and wait." ”

"yes, what's your problem? I can help you too. ”

Hao Yiyun hurriedly helped, she was the one who liked trouble the most, and she also liked to help people solve trouble, so her interest came as soon as she was interested.

Yang Mei smiled and didn't express her opinion, although she had a lot of doubts, she also knew that since the senior brother did this, he must have his thoughts, and she would not have the slightest doubt.

"If you go to find guests like this, you won't find much!"

Hao Ruyun added another sentence, giving Hua Lin the final blow psychologically, he hesitated for a while, and sat down opposite the three of them.

"Zhou Daoyou, and two female ...... Fellow Daoist, if you have the heart to help, the little brother is grateful, but it is a bit long to say, please be patient. ”

Zhou Shu nodded lightly, "Hua Daoyou just has to say it." ”8
