Chapter 4: The Legend of Cats and Ghosts (5) - Buying and Selling
☆☆☆
Gao Zunhui started another line and read it again: "Pure wind and good mother, with ingenuity and convenience, set up for ten days, the second home wheel, the Sun and Moon Palace, and ......"
"Eight Places, Three Clothes, Three Wheels, and Three Calamities, Tiewei Four Courtyards, Jufu Mountain, and ......"
"Mountains, seas, rivers, etc., establish the world, and prohibit the five types of demons. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info......"
"Ten days and eight earths, if it is the world, it is not only the medical medicine hall of the Ming body, but also the prison of the Dark Demon Forbidden System......"
The text that followed became more and more obscure, and Gao Zunhui did not continue to read.
Chris said, "It seems that we need to get together the other planks to know what these words are about!"
"That's not necessarily," Gao Zunhui said, "These words seem familiar, I always feel that I have read them somewhere, maybe I can find some clues by flipping through the books in the Western Regions!"
Chris showed a happy expression and said, "That's great!" After speaking, she sighed again, "I only bought a movable type printing board of Bi Sheng, but I didn't expect to hide such a mysterious mechanism."
Gao Zunhui asked curiously: "You always say 'movable type printing board', what is that?"
"I said that I would help Master Qianzi print Buddhist scriptures, but it all depends on it!" Chris said, pointing to the words on the printing plate, "Now the books printed in the workshop are all engraving, and the plate making is slow and easy to damage; and the movable type board invented by Bi Sheng is to make the 'dead characters' into 'living blocks'; every time a new book is printed, the text only needs to be reformatted, so it can be used repeatedly." If there is any damage, we only need to replace the damaged word, which greatly saves costs and improves printing efficiency! We can imitate it and make a batch of movable type boards for those masters who print books. ”
"There's some truth to what you say!"
Qin Yu didn't speak for a long time.
What he saw and heard today shocked his heart very much. Seeing the two of you, you and I said a word, and in a moment, I unlocked the secret that I had been thinking about for many years but to no avail. Ouyang Feng has a wide range of friends and has seen and heard a lot, and what surprised him even more was that Gao Xiaogongzi was proficient in Persian, which was really impressive. One seems to be uninhibited, and the other is an idle gentleman, but they both have unique skills and have a furrow in their chests. It seems that these two people have high aspirations, and they are by no means what they appear to be. Both of them have a deep background, and there are some things that the more I know, the worse it will be for me, and now that I am involved, it is really dangerous. But these two people are above board, and they are by no means small. In the future, I will not only have to be 12 points of spirit and deal with it carefully, but also show 12 points of sincerity in order to gain their trust. Once I have gained their trust, I can only do no good.
Thinking of this, Qin Yujiu took a step back, took a deep look at Chris, and pleaded earnestly: "Brother Ouyang Xian, I can't hide it, this 'holy book' is indeed closely related to me, and my father and brother died tragically at the hands of the Demon Sect because of this holy book!"
Qin Yujiu paused for a moment, as if he had calmed down his excited mood, and then said, "Gao Xiaogongzi guessed well, the holy book was indeed stolen by me from the old prince's treasure building, and later went to find the old prince's demon sect, and I also pretended to be just to learn some news about the holy book from the old prince's mouth." How do you know that the old prince just likes to collect rare treasures, and he really knows very little about the secrets behind the holy book. In the next few years, I have been constantly patrolling and secretly visiting the rivers and lakes, and I have tried my best, but unfortunately many of the people who knew the inside story of the year have died, and the rest have fled to find their own traces...... Now Qin took the liberty of asking the two of you to help me solve the mystery, reveal the truth, and restore my father and brother's innocence, so as to comfort my father and brother's soul in the sky!
Seeing that he was so solemn, Chris hurriedly said: "Brother Qin's words are serious, it is a matter of Brother Qin's father and brother's enmity, and he should do his best." She thought to herself, it's not a big deal to help you, and besides, I'm also very interested in this matter, "Brother Qin, do you remember that we had a transaction before?"
"Deal?" Qin Yujiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "But you said that the woman named Dill was the leader of the Oiran in the capital?"
Chris nodded and said, "Yes, that's it! If Brother Qin can do this, he will repay the favor in the future......
"Whenever you ask, Qin Mou is all dedicated, but he ......" Qin Yujiu paused, he glanced at Gao Zunhui, and thought in his heart: This matter is not difficult to do, it is nothing more than silver and power, and they are not short of both, but let me take this cheap, it will not be just because they don't want to expose their identities. After all, their true identities have not yet been figured out, and the dangers of this world can be avoided, so I still have to be careful. Thinking of this, Qin Yujiu said, "I promised it at the beginning, in order not to reveal my identity, Qin should do his best! But this code is one code, and it must not be mixed with the matter of the holy book." I know that it is ten thousand times more difficult to solve the mystery of the holy book than the matter of dill, Qin is not talented, but he can't take advantage of this ready-made ......"
Qin Yujiu is also a famous businessman in the capital, and he has a wide range of people because of his incense making, not to mention that he has his own arrogance as an incense thief, and holding an Oiran is indeed useless to him. And Chris knew very well that it was not Qin Yujiu who was hesitating about anything, it was a professional habit of businessmen, and she was most familiar with it. In Qin Yujiu's view, there are naturally in and out of business, and the other party is willing to do him a big favor, but he doesn't have to pay anything, which makes him feel uncomfortable. There is no such white thing as "pie in the sky", Qin Yujiu naturally feels that there is something greasy in it, how can he be willing to do such an unreliable thing.
Chris smiled slightly and said, "This time, that time, the help now is no longer the original help!"
"Oh, how do you say that?" Qin Yujiu didn't understand the meaning of Chris's words, and hurriedly asked.
"That night, in order to save Brother Qin, I had to force the younger brother to play that 'Spring Palace Opera' with Dill that night......" Chris raised his head, rare seriousness, "Dill is not broken, so I ask Brother Qin to buy Dill at the price of 'combing' on the first night, so her value will naturally be raised a lot." And I am more relieved to entrust her to you!"
"This ......" Qin Yujiu didn't expect this to happen.
"I know, Brother Qin will be able to take good care of the beauty!" Chris said in his heart, the basket turned out to be just a little girl who sang with her, and her status was humble, and someone had to support her. His reputation is far inferior to that of Qin Daguan, if he gets Qin Yujiu to comb it, he will definitely be famous in the capital immediately. Qin Yujiu's incense is hard to find in the capital, and I am afraid that when the time comes, just the person who asks for incense with dill will have to step through the threshold, so it is really the most suitable to use this Qin official as a signboard for advertising. By that time, the stars will hold the moon, and the leader of the Qinglou will not be able to capture it?
Chris looked at Qin Yujiu with a smile on his face, with the most innocent and clear smile on his face.
Qin Yujiu felt deeply...... I'm going to be killed now!
Looking at Chris's smile, Qin Yujiu couldn't laugh or cry. Just now, he was still worried about him, and wanted to persuade him a few words, but now he looked at himself like a big piece of fat. Qin Yujiu sighed in his heart: This Ouyang Feng is really good at doing business, and he can calculate better than me!
Chris saw that Qin Yujiu's face was a little unnatural, so he persuaded meaningfully: "Brother Qin, don't feel that you can't make it, in fact, this is just the first step of our cooperation, in the future, I guarantee that you can taste the sweetness, and we will both win!"
Qin Yujiu is so shrewd, Chris asked him to comb the purpose of dill, and he figured it out in a flash. Although I don't know why he wants to hold red dill, it is definitely not bad for him. He made a decision immediately, nodded immediately, and replied seriously: "Deal!"
Seeing that Qin Yujiu didn't ask much why he took great pains to hold red dill, Gao Zunhui secretly admired in his heart: He is worthy of being a shrewd businessman, and he will never ask a word more, only talk about business. The people in this world who think they are smart are often those who seek the root of the problem, and sometimes when you know everything, your little life may be gone.
"In that case, let's have a drink!" said Chris.
The three of them were about to sit down when they suddenly smelled something burning, followed by a commotion.
At present, it is a crisp autumn atmosphere, and their private room is open with the window, bathing in the wind, drinking and laughing, and it is very leisurely. But the restaurants of the Song Dynasty were all built on the street, and when there was a disturbance outside, even if they didn't want to pay attention, the wind would send the noise in.
The three of them walked to the window and looked out, and found that the flower building in front of the opposite restaurant was on fire. In autumn, the weather is dry and dry, and the flower building is very tall, and in a blink of an eye, it is already on fire.
During the two Song Dynasty, all the larger restaurants should be tied with colored silk and colored paper to form "Cai Lou Huanmen", in order to attract business for the store, the "Huanmen" of each family is higher and higher, and the style is more and more complicated. This Cailou Huanmen has two floors high, the top of each floor is tied out of the "mountain" shaped flower stand, the roof is dotted with flowers, birds and beasts and other ornaments, and the eaves hang tassels. This is to allow guests to experience a sense of grandeur before entering the restaurant. There is often a wine curtain printed with the slogans "Heaven" and "Milo" on the "flat seat" at the entrance, and you can enter the restaurant by opening the wine curtain.
In Bianliang City, Chris often sees this kind of three-sharp corner frame of the color building, she said: "It's very good-looking, but it's a pity that it's all paper-tied and burned out at once!"
Gao Zunhui said: "You're right, this thing loves to catch fire! If you don't pay attention, it will burn if you get a little spark! It's really a thing that costs people and money!"
Everyone has a love for beauty, and the people like these colorful buildings very much, if they go to these flower buildings, Kaifeng may also become gray, isn't it too boring!"
The little two and the assistant chef in the restaurant rushed out one by one with iron forks in their hands, and someone was responsible for untying the ropes that bound the "Huanmen". Everyone knows that you can't bring the flames to the restaurant. The other few were holding iron forks, all with big shoulders and round waists, and were about to use the iron forks to knock down the paper building. Unexpectedly, a gust of wind stirred up the flames, and the flames were swept up. Although these cooks deal with fire every day, they are also human beings, and they can't even knock down the burning flower building for half a day.
Many passers-by stopped to watch, and Chris suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
Yue Yu'er was leaning on a tree not far away, biting a small straw stick in her mouth, and watching the excitement with a few children.
Just as everyone was watching, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and a man wearing a black samurai uniform and carrying two long swords on his back arrived at the horse.
Qin Yujiu and Gao Zunhui's eyes lit up, and they recognized the person at a glance.
Before the horse could completely stop, the man had already "snorted" and flew up, and when he was still leaping in the air, the man drew two long swords from his back.
As soon as he hit the ground, the man rushed forward as fast as lightning.
I saw two sharp silver lights flickering from the red flames, and the light was so dazzling that even the sky-high flames could not cover it. And the man's body actually passed through the firelight, and the sword light flashed and cut off the two pillars on the left and right of the color building, and the flower building fell to the ground with a bang, burning fiercely, but the man didn't even get a spark on his body.
Only then did Chris see the man's appearance. He looked about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a very handsome face, sword eyebrows, and a calm expression. His black hair was tied up high, and the ends of his hair fluttered in the wind, making him look neat and capable.
When he turned to lead his horse, Chris noticed that behind the black soapy coat was embroidered a golden pattern like a crossed sword. The pattern glittered against the firelight, making him look even more unruly.
"It's the God Swordcatcher!"
"I know! That trick just now is called 'Yan Pounce'! Last time I saw the Marquis use this trick!"
"It's so powerful!
"Why haven't the people of the Hidden Fire Army arrived yet? thanks to the God Hunter ......."
Chris noticed that the people around him were applauding, and the people around him praised the sword shop for his timely strike.
Jian Yan himself didn't care, turned over on his horse, turned his horse's head, and whipped his horse away.
The cooks and Xiao Er brought out the buckets from behind and hurriedly stepped forward to extinguish the embers.
Seeing that the situation had calmed down, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Gao Zunhui sighed: "It is worthy of being a wanton marquis! I couldn't stop it last time! Who is the official of this capital who can act as recklessly as he did!"
Chris remembered him, when he rescued Qin Yujiu that day, he investigated the case with another god named Baitang. To be honest, what she admired more was the sword move just now, which was as fast as thunder, and the movements she made were also very chic. She couldn't help but praise: "What a powerful sword! Someone just now said that this move is called 'Yan Pounce', and his movements are really like Feiyan Pounce, neat and chic." ”
"This move seems light, but it's not! The key is that he drags his sword and dashes at the same time, and the powerful power he emits is amazing!" (To be continued.) )
