Chapter 2 The Gentle Sound of the Piano Calls the Chivalrous Warrior to Find a Soulmate (1)

Xiao Beiyou found a reasonable reason for himself to fight, he was in a much better mood, but this time he promised his master to come out and do the right thing, since he promised his master and senior brother, it was equivalent to receiving the general's order, if nothing was done, it would be too embarrassing, he pondered: "How can I enter the palace to investigate?" He decided to go around the palace to observe and observe first, and then talk about the situation.

Halfway down the road, he saw some rickshaw drivers waiting for customers, and he suddenly had an idea.

Xiao Beiyou asked a few rickshaw drivers about the situation, and after a while, he bought a new car and a set of drivers' clothes for two taels of silver.

Soon after, Xiao Beiyou appeared around the palace with the image of a very decent rickshaw driver, he observed there for two days, at this time, from the right corner of the palace walked out of a neatly dressed, self-confident old man, see that the faction is not a lower-class servant, but look at the bearing, and do not look like an adult, the master, he hurriedly greeted it, very sincere and eager to ask: "Does the master want to take the car?"

The old man asked, "Didn't I see you before, so I came here to wait for guests?"

Xiao Beiyou replied: "In the past, the little ones were waiting for guests at the Confucius Temple, and I heard from my companions that there are many wealthy compounds here, all of which are lived by adults and masters, and when I met good people, I gave a lot of fares, so I came, my lord! The small ones have just arrived here, give them a good look, take a small car, for the first time, you can give less money!"

"Good boy, you're pretty good at talking, you're pretty good at soliciting customers, well, it's fate, I've met you, I've been in a good mood lately, you can pull me to do a few things, I won't treat you badly!" said the old man.

"Master Xie, when I met you, the little one is like a festival, and the little one has a business when he first came, and the little one is in a good mood!" Xiao Beiyou echoed.

"Haha, you kid is quite clever, and you're in a good mood with me, not bad!" said the old man.

"Master, where are you going?" asked Xiao Beiyou.

"First go to the 'Jiamei Dyeing Workshop' on Liuye Street in the southwest of the city, then to the 'Jianglong Shipyard' outside the Dinghuai Gate, then turn to the 'Baotang Gold Shop' on Sanshan Street, and finally go to the 'Guest Building' in front of Wuyi Lane by the Qinhuai River.

"Thank you for your concern, it's a small blessing to be able to take the master to so many places, if you're in a good mood, you're not tired, it's too late to be happy!" Xiao Bei lobbied.

"Good! Okay! Young people are energetic, happy to do things, happy to make money, good for future generations!" the old man praised Xiao Bei.

"Master, the little one feels that you are very kind, like a little relative and elder, can I dare to ask you two small questions?" Xiao Beiyou requested.

"Well, you're a good boy, what do you want to know?" said the old man.

"The first is whether you can tell the little ones about your obedience to the big name, the little ones think it's good luck to know you, and knowing your big name may bring greater luck!" Xiao Bei lobbied.

"Haha! What's so difficult about this, the old man's name is 'Wang Jinyu', 'Jinyu' is a kind of beautiful jade, my father gave me this name, so that I can have virtue and talent, as a result, the old man has no talent, virtue, but there is a point, the old man knows, be sincere!" It turned out that the old man was Wang Jinyu, the housekeeper of the palace, and he fiddled with his knowledge to Xiao Beiyou.

"Master Wang Jinyu, you are really virtuous and talented, you know so much, and you are so good to the little one, you are a capable person and a good person!" Xiao Beiyou praised him.

"You're a good flatterer, don't you have another question?" asked Wang Jinyu.

"By the way, just now you said that you were going to so many places today, what kind of shops, factories, shops, buildings, are these all opened in your house? There is such a big business, it is too scary, you are in charge of a lot of things, how prestigious!" Xiao Beiyou began to inquire about the palace.

Wang Jinyu said: "'Jianglong Shipyard' and 'Baotang Gold Shop' are run by the palace, and the 'Jiamei Dyeing Workshop' and 'Laibin Building' are to collect rent, and there are many properties in the palace!" he said proudly.

"There are so many properties in the palace, how much silver do you have to spend to buy them? No wonder the gate of the palace is so luxurious, there are three beast-headed gates, and there is a large number of houses that cannot be seen, is the Wang family a rich man?" Xiao Bei lobbied.

"Speaking of the palace, who doesn't know in Nanjing City, and you don't know, the ancestor of the Wang family is the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Dao, the ancestor of the Wang family and the family of Xie Xuan, another prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, collectively known as 'Wang Xie', at that time there was a large mansion in Wuyi Lane, which was the largest two families in the health city at that time, and the Wang family also had big officials in this dynasty. Wang Jinyu said proudly.

"From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the present, it has always been a wang family, there must be a lot of officials, and there must have been a lot of wealth treasures, Lord Wang is in such a wealthy mansion, how many silver taels and how many treasures have to be seen?" Xiao Beiyou spied and said.

"The Wang family has been a good official in all generations, and they are all against looting people's wealth, and they are upright and wealthy, but they are different from those big corrupt officials in history, so the palace has a good reputation in officialdom and society. Wang Jinyu said.

"Being able to know Master Wang is God's help to the small, and the little one also follows the long knowledge, and the little one listens to you talk about the affairs of the palace, just like talking about the things of heaven, it's too surprising!" Xiao Bei lobbied.

"You kid, you have a very sweet mouth and are very good at saying nice things, by the way, what is your kid's name?" asked Wang Jinyu.

Xiao Beiyou thought for a while and said: "Back to the old man, the younger one is called 'Xiao San', the third in line, the eldest and second eldest in the family died at an early age, once, the younger one said to the old father, since the eldest and the second child are gone, the son is called 'Xiao Yi'? Xiao San', it's important to live a few more years!"

"Hahaha! Xiao San, you kid, you are too naughty, how can you think of 'usurping' like this? Where do you think of this head?" Wang Jinyu was broken.

"Willow Street is here, not far in front of the 'Jiamei Dyeing Workshop', get there, you stop and wait for me, I will come out when I finish my errands, and we will continue to talk on the way!" Wang Jinyu instructed.

Xiao Beiyou dragged Wang Jinyu to the "Jianglong Shipyard" outside the Dinghuai Gate, the "Baotang Gold Shop" on Sanshan Street and the "Guest Building" in front of Wuyi Lane by the Qinhuai River.

On the way back to the palace, Wang Jinyu said: "Xiao San, you kid is smart, clever, and diligent, especially if you can say things that people like to hear, you are a good offspring, and the old man likes you very much." ”
