Chapter 43 Shang Xiaolou
Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the legendary birthday of King Shuobei has finally come. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The entire Shuobei palace was lively in the morning, and the servants who came and went hung the colorful flags of their respective shops in various eye-catching places in the palace, and the "designated brand for the birthday of the prince" was impressive, which made Su Musha quite satisfied.
As Su Musha worried some time ago, seeking business funding for the things needed for the king's birthday did not make much oil and water, because the world was just decided, and the merchants were not rich, and there was not much competition, so they couldn't afford to spend money on the palace banquet.
Moreover, some of them are also difficult to wait for elegant halls, such as the Qinglou painting boat on the Qinhuai River, who originally wanted to climb the palace to increase his reputation in order to attract scholars and students in the capital, but he was rejected by Shuyu's words, which made Su Musha quite distressed.
In the end, it was not the wine shops, teahouses, theaters, and inns in Jiankang City that had heads and faces, and there were many of these businessmen and shopkeepers, not so much to take the opportunity to advertise them, but to see their friendship and sponsorship in the face of the prince.
As the night darkens, snowflakes once again sparsely fall on the white walls and tiles, slowly paving the alleys paved with bluestone slabs, or melting into the water of the Qinhuai River. With the lights of the canopy boat, the clouds gradually curled up, wetting the air.
The Shuobei Royal Mansion raised red lanterns, and guests arrived one after another in sedan chairs or on horseback. Su Musha stood in front of the door in front of the door wearing the black robe of Yunxiutang to greet him personally, and the three big characters of "Yunxiutang" made of golden silk threads were particularly eye-catching under the light, so that the guests could not help but look back and discuss, only to feel that he was full of things.
Su Musha didn't care, and after the servants sang, they smiled even more. There are Lu Chu who sent some scholar's four treasures or vassal-style objects like this, and Su Musha also gladly accepted it, Senior Sister and Shuyu are good at this, which can be used to please them.
Lu Chu saw that Su Musha was like this, as if a fist had hit the cotton, and he was quite excited.
"Sun Changgong, Sun Gongzi has arrived. The porter's singing came from afar.
Sun Changgong is the eldest young master of the Sun family, after his father Sun Tangyue logged into the temple, Sun Changgong took over the Sun family's business, and he took care of it well, which was a few points higher than his father's ability. He is a generous person, Su Musha was overjoyed when he heard this, straightened his clothes, and greeted him.
Unlike his younger brother Sun Fortune God Fat Maitreya Buddha, Sun Changgong has a slender figure, slightly thin, a clear appearance, wearing a moon-white robe, no belt, long hair draped over his shoulders, full of bookish atmosphere, it is really difficult to associate with the profit-seeking businessmen.
Seeing that Su Musha came up, Sun Chang respectfully bowed and said, "Sun Chang respectfully greets the prince." Time is in a hurry, Chang Gong only prepared a slight gift, to show his heart, and I hope that the prince will not be surprised"
Su Musha's gaze quickly swept over the gift list, and his enthusiasm was even deeper, and he cordially grabbed Sun Changgong's arm and said, "Brother Changgong has seen the outside." My father and son are the pillars of our dynasty, and if Brother Changgong can come, my palace is really full of brilliance. ”
Sun Changgong didn't even dare to say that he didn't dare, and entered the Shuobei Mansion with Su Musha. Sun Changgong said: "Recently, I heard that the prince is worried about the people, but his financial resources are limited and he can't show his ambitions. Sun has nothing else to do, only this thing outside his body can still be used, hoping to help the prince. After that, the little guy behind Sun Changgong respectfully handed over a money ticket placed on the red silk cloth of the small red box with both hands.
Money tickets are not the currency promoted by the imperial court, but are guaranteed by the four major factions of the rivers and lakes, and a kind of money deposit voucher issued by the Longmen Dart Bureau, as long as the amount is not very large, it can be taken out at the Longmen Dart Bureau or Longmen Inn in other places, so as to avoid the inconvenience of merchants who come and go in the rivers and lakes to carry heavy money.
No matter what the purpose of the Sun family is, they are optimistic about themselves by repeatedly subsidizing themselves. Su Musha solemnly thanked him, asked the servant to accept the money ticket, and said: "Brother Changgong is righteous, Su Musha has no reward, and he will definitely have a few drinks later to show his gratitude." ”
The two exchanged a few words, and Su Musha personally arranged for Su Changgong to be seated. They are all the children of the four great families of the dynasty, and Sun Changgong is not far from Lu Chu, Bai Anshi and others. Lu Chu saw that Su Musha and Sun Changgong were familiar with each other, and said, "Hey, these two are too late to see each other." ”
Bai Anshi glanced at it, and just saw that Sun Changgong also looked over, and the two of them nodded politely. Bai Anshi whispered: "Don't underestimate this, he has a degree of advance and retreat in the affairs of businessmen, and there are situations left and right, even the old man of our family praises him for his deep Duanmu legacy." ”
"Mr. Duanmu is having a hard time at Nanshan Academy now. Lu Chu raised his glass and said, "I think that among the four great families, Brother Ru is already handsome, but he is still bending his waist for five buckets of rice, and the way of a good businessman is like this." ”
With that, he tasted the wine, and then spit it out again. "Phew, what kind of wine is this?" Lu Chu frowned, "It's hard to drink, right?"
Su Musha, who invited Sun Changgong to take a seat, happened to see it, stepped forward and said regretfully: "Hey, Lu Gongzi doesn't know the goods, isn't it? Although the taste of this wine is difficult to swallow, the effect is the best." ”
"Oh, dare to ask the prince, how is a good method?" Bai Anshi took advantage of the situation to put down the wine glass and asked.
Su Mu cleared his throat, raised the mud-sealed wine jar, and after gathering everyone's eyes, Fang said: "Don't underestimate this wine, it has a miraculous effect on strengthening bones, healing injuries and replenishing blood, even if there is no injury or disease, it can be strong and majestic after drinking, it is the secret recipe of the Medicine King Valley." ”
Everyone was skeptical, and Su Musha said, "You can not believe it, but you will know how the medicine works when you go back tonight." However, if you want to drink it again, you will need to pay a lot of money. ”
Su Mu was about to show off his kung fu again, and the old housekeeper Lu Zhi walked over and said in his ear: "Son, the shopkeeper of Longmen Inn Bai Zixiu Bai is here." ”
This is also a god of wealth, and he can't be waited. Su Mu hurriedly put down the wine jar and said, "Everyone slowly understands, don't blame this king for having good things and not thinking about you if you miss it." With that, he turned around and walked out of the living room, and when he came to the door, he saw a man in light clothes and a thin body, about thirty years old, looking at the palace.
Hearing the footsteps, the person turned his head, hung a long sword on his waist, his face was handsome, chic and elegant, and he had a good look, and when he saw Su Musha, Bai Zixiu arched his hand and said: "Bai Zixiu, the shopkeeper of Jiankang of Longmen Inn, has seen the prince." ”
Su Musha returned the salute and said: "Please inside the white shopkeeper, I will have to support the white shopkeeper more about Hualinyuan's business later." ”
Bai Zixiu said: "The prince is polite, Hualin Garden is a royal garden, there are many people who flock to it, and there are many people who support it, and the Longmen Inn has been coveted for a long time. ”
The two of them were talking, when they suddenly heard the servant say: "The owner of Xiaolou is still here." ”
Su Mushu was stunned, confessed, and ordered Lu Zhi to lead Bai Zixiu to the living room, and turned back by himself. I saw a man, dressed in white and smiling, wearing a long coat, standing there elegantly and calmly, like a plum blossom, although not gorgeous and handsome, but the temperament was extremely comfortable.
He was holding an erhu in his hand, staring ahead, but unfocused. The scholar next to him followed closely by his side, and when he saw Su Musha coming out, the scholar whispered, "Master Su has come out." ”
It turned out that this son was a blind man.
