"Haha, Lao Li!" Stomachache strode into the yard and shouted as if he didn't recognize his relatives.
Li Yuguo and Li Zhong also came outside in time. Li Zhong said: "Master, you go and do your work first. I will prepare various matters for the bookstore."
"Well, if anything happens, you can inform me again. By the way... have you brought the money?" Li Yuguo asked.
Li Zhong smiled and said: "Master, by the time you think about it, the day lilies are cold. When I came here, I had already transferred half of our assets into bank notes. After all, the Nanyue Bank is run by the imperial court, and bank notes can be found everywhere." It works."
"How many?"
"Not much, our general assets are one million taels of silver." Li Zhong said.
After all, Jiuxiao City is a small place, so it is impossible for Li Huguo to make too much money selling books in Jiuxiao City. Moreover, transportation is inconvenient in this era. Except for some masters of cultivation, most people travel by carriage.
Therefore, the speed is slow. If you carry valuables such as silver, you will be easily targeted by horse thieves on the road. If you are not careful, it is a small matter to lose the money, but it is a big thing to wipe out the entire team.
So the bank was born.
After Li Yuguo and Li Zhong had a brief explanation, the three of them took Li Yuguo to pick up Feng Xichen. After all, although Li Zhong and Li Yuguo were masters and servants, they actually had the same sympathy. brother.
In Li Yuguo's view, there are only three people in this world who know his strength. The first is Li Zhong, who knows it first, the second is Hui Gu Ai, and the third is Xie Lingyun.
Originally Bai GuAi also knew, but unfortunately Hui GuAi said that Bai GuAi was dead, so Bai GuAi's death was an indelible pain for Li Yuguo. If Li Yugo's guess was correct, Bai GuAi was the one from the previous life. Human, that Gray Bone Ai is another person, but Li Yuguo has always blamed himself. In his opinion, if he hadn't kept Bai GuAi in the first place, maybe Bai GuAi wouldn't have to die.
"Come on, let's go have a drink, and I'll take you to the largest and most prosperous place in our capital!" Mosquito said with a evil smile.
Li Yuguo didn't know where that place was, but he had a stomachache at this moment and smiled evilly: "Mosquito, you mean..."
"Hey, that's the place..." The mosquito was biting and dancing with joy.
Li Huguo didn't care either: "Please ask some brothers to lead the way. I will be the first to come back to the capital."
"Actually, it's a pity to say that you and the students from Jiuxiao Academy go to the Academy, and we are both in the Sword Academy. Although the Sword Academy and the Academy are both part of the Shujian Academy, in the event of a tie, communication is prohibited. We just go out to eat and drink together during major festivals or occasionally." He said with an itchy nose.
Li Huguo was surprised: "Why can't we play together?"
"That's natural. The predecessor of Shujian Academy is not Shujian Academy. It's predecessor is Royal Academy and Nanyue Sword Sect." He said with a stomachache, "They are two completely unrelated places."
"Then why..."
"It's a long story. Anyway, it has something to do with the emperor's ascension to the throne. However, these are forbidden words. If others hear you discussing the incident eighteen years ago, it will lead to death!" My stomach hurts and I whisper.
Li Huguo also heard the word "eighteen" in other places, but he never knew what it meant. At this time, the old story of stomachache was brought up again, which also made Li Huguo pay attention.
He had an itchy nose and cursed: "My stomach hurts. If you want to die, you should die alone. Don't fucking implicate us! Have you forgotten the fate of the former Minister of Civil Affairs?"
As soon as these words came out, Stomachache's expression changed, and he sighed and said, "I know that's your uncle, but..."
"Okay, don't say anything more, let's go and eat!" The mosquito bite came over to smooth things over.
After a while, they came to a loft. This loft was seven stories high. Half of it was built on water and the other half was built on land. The light at night was quite warm, and this loft also looked very... It's so beautiful, looking at it at night, it looks like an enlarged version of a Christmas tree.
It's just that there are constant chatter here, especially on the second floor, where many beautiful girls wearing sparse clothes and heavy makeup are waving handkerchiefs at passers-by.
"Come on, uncle!"
"It's Boss Zhang. You haven't been with me for half a month. I hate you!"
"It's Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang is here!"
The streets are also quite lively. As the saying goes, you have to rely on mountains and water to eat. On both sides of the attic, there are actually many vendors, including those selling water, vegetables, fruits, wine, etc...
Some passers-by came here not to drink flower wine at all, but to buy some cheap things at the night market here. After all, it is very expensive to go in to drink flower wine, but at these stalls at the door, eat a bowl of Yangchun. Noodles and half a pot of wine can fill your stomach. When you look up, you can see the beautiful girl in the attic. Therefore, many people who cannot afford to drink fancy wine are happy to come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
"Tingxue Pavilion... is really an elegant name." Li Yuguo said with shame.
Although Tingxue Pavilion is elegant, it is unexpected that he is doing this kind of business now.
The mosquito bite got him excited, and he said: "That's right, many literati like to gather here. Every day they are either having fun or showing off their literary talents. It's really lively. Of course, I don't like pen and ink very much. I still have a sense of Jianghu. interest."
Li Yuguo smiled and said: "That's right, the world of men is the world of Jianghu."
"Haha, let's go, today is a big day. I heard that the oiran from Tingxue Pavilion will perform today!" he said with a stomachache.
"You are talking about the most beautiful woman in the capital, the woman that even the current prince cannot pursue, Mu Xisha?" she said happily with an itchy nose.
"right!"
Li Yuguo was confused after hearing this: "Can't you even pursue the prince?"
"That's because the prince's pursuit of a mortal woman violates the royal rules, so he can only pursue it privately. If the emperor supports it, he will definitely succeed. But at the moment, the emperor doesn't know about it, or he turns a blind eye. We only have one eye, but Miss Mu has always been cold and indifferent to the prince, and they have a special relationship." She said with an itchy nose and was very gossipy.
Li Yuguo was happy: "Since she is the woman that the prince likes, how can we ordinary people have the chance to see her?"
"Then you are wrong. We are just taking a look at her beauty, and we are not blaspheming. What can't we see? Besides, if the prince really likes her, then he will take her back. I think Miss Mu did the right thing. , instead of going back without status and not even being able to be a concubine, it would be better to be here in Tingxue Pavilion and be loved and cared for by the Wan family."
"Love? Her feelings are like a pair of jade arms, a pillow for thousands of people, and a little red lips for thousands of people to taste?" Li Yuguo said, which meant that Mu Xisha had lost her purity.
His stomach hurt and he said with a smile: "Yes, she is still innocent now, and it is also because of the relationship with the prince. No one in the world dares to touch her!"
