"This is... what kind of bull's horn is this, it's so old and long!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, is this rhino horn?"
"Oh my god, this pair of ivory is too big. Such a big ivory, I thought it was a stone carving. I saw ivory in General Li's mansion in Liaodong. General Li's mansion is more than ten miles away, and the mansion is full of songs and music. There are 2,000 prostitutes, and such a rich man has never seen such a large ivory on display."
Wu Yueyue smiled and said: "There is still a coral here, look, Master Zuo, Wu can guarantee that although you are rich in the world, Master Zuo, it's a pity that you are far away in the north, and you may not have seen such a tall and beautiful coral. "
"Yeah! I bought it, I bought it all! But..." Zuo Boyan tugged at his beard, turning his big face into a bun. When Wu Yueyue heard that he didn't even talk about the price and wanted everything, she was overjoyed at once, but when she heard him say "but...", she raised her heart and asked nervously, "but what?"
Zuo Boyan sighed, pulled Wu Yueyue aside, and said in a low voice: "Master Wu, I'll tell you the truth, I'm in Liaodong Ni, and my business can be so big, the leaders of various departments, the generals of Liaodong , that relationship is all on a tight note.”
Wu Yueyue nodded again and again, and said: "That's, that's, if it weren't for such a wide network of contacts, why don't other merchants have such a reputation as Master Zuo?"
Zuo Boyan said: "That's it. You say I want to give them some gifts, who will I give them, and who will I not give them? The Li family has it, but the Zhang family doesn't. The Zhang family must be unhappy. If the family didn't send it, it must have offended that family."
Wu Yueyue frowned, and asked inexplicably, "Master Zuo means?"
Zuo Boyan slapped his thigh and said, "Oh my god, what I said is so clear, why can't you understand it. Less! Do you understand? You ivory, rhinoceros, coral, etc. I want it all, but there are few things, not enough!"
When Wu Yueyue heard this, she said in embarrassment: "Hey! It's a pity that I didn't meet Mr. Zuo earlier. In fact, I used to have a lot of these goods, but now I have sold most of them, and now I only have these."
Zuo Boyan looked at those treasures, shook his head reluctantly and said: "Hey! Let's forget it, don't give them away, and they may not say anything. If you want to give some, if you don't give them away, you will definitely offend people." .Forget it."
Zuo Boyan turned around to leave, but Wu Yueyue quickly grabbed him: "Wait a minute, Master Zuo, how long will you stay in Jinling? If you can stay another month, I can get you enough treasures."
"One month..."
Zuo Boyan stroked his beard and thought for a while, then said embarrassingly: "I'll go to Yangzhou in half a month..."
Wu Yueyue said: "Yangzhou? Chengchengcheng, Yangzhou is not far away. If you can't go back to Jinling, brother Zuo, then brother will send you a boat to transport things there."
"One month, can you really manage it?"
"I can! I can! Come on, Brother Zuo, we are friends now. Since you are here today, you must have a drink with me, and let me show my kindness as a landlord. Haha, please, please, this way please… "
※※※
Mao Wenzhi suddenly turned into Zuo Boyan, a great merchant in Eastern Liaodong, and it was perfect for him to pretend to be a northerner, without any flaws.
The only instruction Ye Xiaotian gave him was to show off as much as possible, eat, drink and have fun, that's all. Mao Wenzhi is the most appropriate executor of this task. What he likes most is eating, drinking and having fun. He is in Jinling for a while, and he really doesn't want to leave.
Basically, Ye Xiaotian didn't ask him to do serious things. Qiao, the shopkeeper of the Jinling branch of the "tycoon's grocery store", was in charge of helping him with all the arrangements and training for pretending to be a rich man, and Duo Ni was in charge of arranging for Wu Yueyue.
Doni doesn't have to be by Mao Wenzhi's side every day, because since Mao Wenzhi made Wu Yueyue, a wine and meat friend, the two often go to Huajie and Liuxiang to have fun. House flowers do not have the fragrance of wild flowers. Although there are many beautiful women around the two of them, sometimes they still feel that the brothel is more interesting.
At this time, Doni would either stay in a mansion rented by Mao Wenzhi, or go out on the streets alone. Last time she came to Jinling to look for Ye Xiaotian, she spent most of her time in the Jinling post, and there were not many places to visit. Well, the woman pretending to be a businessman now has really gained some insight.
On this day, Duo Ni went to visit Xuanwu Lake, and when she came back, it was still early in the daylight, so she went to Jilong Temple again. Standing on Jilong Mountain and looking southward is the Guozijian that runs through Chengxian Street. Duo Ni suddenly thought of Xue Shuiwu who lived on Chengxian Street, so she took people down the mountain and rushed to Chengxian Street.
Doni has heard about this water dancing girl more than once from Mao Wenzhi and Hua Yunfei. She is very curious about this girl Ye Xiaotian once loved deeply. What does this woman look like now.
The Four Treasures Study, beside the Pearl Bridge, is undoubtedly the busiest Four Treasures of the Study area around the Guozijian. It can be seen from the number of people who enter and leave this shop every day, which is really the envy of other bookstores. Who told their shopkeeper not to be such a beautiful and gentle sister.
Four treasures bookstore, only one treasure. This is what the supervisors of the Imperial College said. The female shopkeeper in the bookstore, Miss Shuiwu, is admired and secretly loved by many supervisors, who regard her as the goddess in their hearts. There are also some scholars who claim to be romantic and suave often linger here, hoping to have a chance to have a lingering story with such a beauty.
But they soon discovered that the romantic wit and beauty stories in the book were all lies. They are able to study in the Imperial College, no doubt they are talented. Miss Shui Wu is undoubtedly a beautiful woman, but unfortunately no matter whether this talent is showing off her talents or money, she can't make her pretend. She was always so quiet and gentle, as if she could see through their thoughts completely, but she neither pointed out to embarrass them, nor gave them any chance to dream.
Desiring but not being able to get it made the supervisors even more itchy, but they also respected this water dancing girl even more. However, today, the goddess they dared not blaspheme was actually entangled by a beggar.
At the entrance of the Four Treasures Study, a few beggars blocked the gate. Standing beside the gate were Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Chen. They were two women hired by Shui Wu. They lived with Shui Wu in the courtyard behind the study and got along day and night. Already in love with the same family.
The two big ladies held brooms in their hands and glared at the beggars. There are many prison students and passers-by around, seeing their angry faces and eager to try, it seems that they are about to attack these beggars.
"Stop! Stop! What are you trying to do? Huh?"
A beggar shouted to stop the stupid movement of the onlookers, parted his messy hair left and right, and said arrogantly: "I, Xie Chuanfeng, is the man her Xue family has betrothed since childhood. If you don't believe me, call that woman out and ask her face to face." Is she like this? I want to marry my wife, it’s only right and proper! What’s the matter with the beggar, she can regret the marriage if she’s a beggar?”
Although the beggar was in rags and poor clothes, but looking closely at his facial features, he was clearly Xie Chuanfeng. Speaking of it, Xie Chuanfeng was really unlucky, he brought a batch of soft goods, he wanted to enjoy the happiness in Jinling City, but unexpectedly encountered robbers on the way.
Four people, a dung fork, and three wooden sticks robbed him of a cart full of belongings. Fortunately, these road robbers were not professionals, and they ran away after sharing the money, but they didn't take his life. Now Xie Chuanfeng became a pauper, and had to be a beggar in Jinling.
He became acquainted with a group of beggars, so he begged for a living in Jinling City, and happened to come to Sibao's study one day. Xue Shuiwu was kind-hearted and wanted to help this poor man, but he didn't want them to be stunned when they met.
Xie Chuanfeng was ashamed and ashamed at the beginning, but when he fled back to the ruined temple and thought about it carefully, the more he thought about it, the more moved he was. Back then, he was the chief steward of the Tian family, so of course he could pick and choose, but now he is not what he used to be. Seeing that Shui Wu is living a good life, and there is even a shop, even if she is not perfect, it doesn't matter, if you marry her, you can live comfortably.
Ever since, Xie Chuanfeng dug out his marriage certificate and came to the door again. Xie Chuanfeng has always kept this marriage certificate, the purpose of keeping it was not to marry Xue Shuiwu, but thinking that it might be used to attack Ye Xiaotian for ruining his marriage and robbing his wife, but he never had the chance to use it. He didn't want to be alone now, only this marriage letter became his last support.
Of course Xue Shuiwu would not marry him again. Xie Chuanfeng came to the door to cheat but failed, and instead was beaten out by Mrs. Lu and Chen's wife. In desperation, she told the matter to the beggars and asked them to help force Shuiwu to marry, promising After the work is done, everyone will be rewarded, so these beggars all come with him.
Seeing that things got serious and there were more and more people watching, Xie Chuanfeng carefully took out the marriage certificate from his arms, and said triumphantly: "Look, take a look, the marriage certificate is here, how can she, Xue Shuiwu, deny it. If you don’t follow me, I will sue the government!”
When Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Chen heard this, they immediately looked back into the store. Shui Wu was lowering her head and doing her abacus. Hearing the crisp and rhythmic sound of the abacus beads, she didn't seem flustered. Mrs. Lu said worriedly: "Sister Shuiwu, did you hear that scoundrel said that he wants to be an officer!"
As soon as the abacus beads stopped, Shui Wu raised her head, smiled at her, and said in a soft voice: "Don't pay attention to him, you just guard the door, this kind of rascal, someone will punish him." Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Chen The ladies looked at each other, a little confused.
Xie Chuanfeng was holding up the marriage letter, and was about to publicize it, when suddenly a sentry came out from behind the crowd, and shouted with raised eyebrows: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, Jin Yiwei handles the case, everyone out of the way!"
Kuai Peng pushed the crowd to the front of the store, pointed at Xie Chuanfeng, and shouted: "It's him! Take him back!" A group of Jin Yiwei behind rushed up and dragged Xie Chuanfeng viciously, and left. Xie Chuanfeng said blankly: "What are you doing? What have you done?"
Kuai Peng said: "Don't you know what you did? Hmph! When you arrive at Jinyiwei, I don't believe you don't tell the truth! Take them away!" Jinyiwei arrested people, those beggars dared not stop them, they were so frightened that they ran away with their heads in their hands. Happy to see it come true, Xie Chuanfeng was taken away just like that.
In the crowd, Doni smiled slightly, she recognized Kuai Peng, he was her little brother's best friend. Duo Ni turned and walked towards her car, thinking to herself: whoever said Brother Xiaotian was unfeeling, but he has arranged well for this water dancing girl.
Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Chen ran into the store happily. They really didn't know that Shui Wu had such a strong backer, and Jin Yiwei actually stood up for her. Facing the incoherent joy of Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Chen, Shui Wu smiled calmly.
She knew in her heart who she really needed to thank. She won't be coy and hypocritical anymore, she owes him, anyway, she won't be able to pay it off in this lifetime, but it's not a little bit worse. In any case, she is no longer the soft, weak Xue Shuiwu who has no opinion, she has become stronger.
Xie Chuanfeng was taken away by Jin Yiwei in a daze, and when he was arrested, he still thought: "Everything is a misunderstanding. When Jin Yiwei makes it clear, I can come out!"
However, he was not taken to Jinyiwei. When the black cloth on his face was removed, Xie Chuanfeng squinted his eyes, and it took him a long time to adapt to the surrounding light. He first saw a huge mausoleum, a huge stone tablet, and then he saw many stone horses, bulls, tigers and stone elephants lined up on both sides.
Mr. Zhao Si bowed his hands to an old eunuch and said: "Eunuch Qin, I will hand over this prisoner to your Jingong Supervisor, and ask him to help you guarding the tomb with some chores here, but there is one thing, this person will never be allowed to do so." Get out of here!"
The old eunuch smiled and nodded, looked at Xie Chuanfeng with ill intentions, and replied in a hoarse male duck voice: "Little Si Gonggong, don't worry, people who enter our Xiaoling Mausoleum can only stay here for the rest of their lives. , no one should even think about going out again, hey, hey..."
