At night, Goulan Wazi in Bianjing is the bustling time. The rolling sheds of various colors are connected together, and various performances are staged in it, and people outside flock to their favorite Goulan.
He Liding's hook bar is the largest one, with scattered seats on one side and small rooms on the other side, with tea and dried fruits, and a good view.
Ling Qingyu sat down on the chair in the small room, poked his head out to have a look, there are really many seats, going up step by step, really sitting in groups, there might be thousands of people in those seats? Seventy to eighty percent of the seats were already occupied, and the show hadn't started yet. There were all kinds of people selling groceries among them, and the voices were very noisy.
Who said that there was no entertainment in ancient times? That's more people than a concert.
Ling Qingyu sighed, and asked He Li, "What are you performing here today?"
"First Sun Shiwu's joke, and then Mulian saving his mother." He Li said.
"Qingyu, look first, let's go out." Seeing a group of people walking in the corridor, Yang Zhao whispered to Ling Qingyu. Then he and He Li left the small room first, and walked to several other small rooms.
Seeing Yang Zhao greeting those people, Ling Qingyu lowered the curtain. With Yang Zhao's temper, he was willing to lower his frame to socialize with these people. This time, he may be hit harder than himself, but it's a pity Well, such a wealthy Bianjing, if I didn’t set up some kind of plum appreciating party by myself, and come in step by step with peace of mind, it would be better instead. Just find a way to deal with the consequences.
When the time came, there was a ding sound on the stage, and the audience suddenly fell silent.
The first person on stage was a man in his forties. As soon as he sat down on the stage and hit the board, he began to talk.
What he told was a common story, a story about a embroidered lady and her husband-in-law. He used the local dialect, and the words were very interesting, and the story was told with twists and turns.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"pitiful!"
"pitiful!"
"it is good!"
"it is good!"
A few times in a row, the small room next to her sighed the same as her at the same time, Ling Qingyu looked at the small room next to her curiously.
The two small rooms are separated by a cloth curtain. At this time, a person on the opposite side raised the cloth curtain and looked at this side.
Ling Qingyu was sitting next to the curtain, facing the other party's delightful Yuanyuan face.
"Hi, uncle!" Ling Qingyu greeted subconsciously, and then scolded himself in his heart.
The man looked very surprised, and then replied: "Hi, hello girl!"
At this time, the stage was talking about the exciting part again, and the two uttered a good word at the same time, and then glanced at each other.
"Uncle likes this too?" Ling Qingyu asked seeing the man in his forties holding up the curtain.
"How about this girl?" the uncle asked in a low voice with a smile.
"This is the first time I've come to see it. It's really insightful!" Ling Qingyu also lowered his voice and slightly turned his head to the side.
The uncle's smile deepened, and he said: "This one is not good, the latter one is better."
"Uncle is very familiar with this? Regular customer? Then you have to talk to me carefully." Ling Qingyu said softly.
The uncle was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "I'm not very familiar with it, I'm not familiar with it."
"Ah." Ling Qingyu was about to stop the topic and sat up straight.
"Hey, come here." The uncle waved again.
Ling Qingyu had no choice but to turn his head sideways again and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Do you know that Ling family?" The uncle asked very mysteriously.
Ling Qingyu was taken aback, what kind of development is this
"Oh, gossip with me, what's the latest development?" The uncle continued to ask with a smile.
"Uncle, I just came here recently, so I really don't know about this gossip." Ling Qingyu was very speechless, did anyone gossip and talk about it in front of the deity!
"It's okay, I'll tell you!" The uncle's eyes were full of gossip, and he said softly, "I heard that the head of the Ling family is a woman." Seeing Ling Qingyu nodded and went to get a glass of water to drink, he continued: "Seduced a lot of men!"
puff! Ling Qingyu turned his head wittily, or sprayed him in the face directly.
"Hey, calm down! This is nothing, do you know it's even more powerful?" The uncle hooked his fingers and said.
Ling Qingyu put down the water glass, glanced at his fingers, turned his head and asked, "What?"
"Do you know who she seduced? Cheng Jia, the first son of Bianjing, Ji Zheng, the fourth son of Bianjing, Yang Zhao and Zhao Yinfeng, our young and beautiful generals!" Uncle Sighing and shaking his head.
"Uncle, have you seen the head of the Ling family?" Ling Qingyu asked in a low voice.
"I just want to meet, what a beautiful person this must be! Can these people be the guests of the curtain?" The uncle continued to sigh.
"Uncle, do you think I'm pretty?" Ling Qingyu turned his face away to let him see clearly.
"You look really... ugly!" The uncle said with certainty after reading it carefully.
Ling Qingyu's face turned dark, uncle, although I am not beautiful, I can be considered average, so how can I become ugly!
Seeing that her complexion was not good, the uncle added, "It's all right, although it's a bit ugly, it's not so much an eyesore."
Well, I don't care about you! Ling Qingyu sighed, and said, "Uncle, do you think my appearance can seduce those four?"
"You?" The uncle couldn't help laughing twice, then coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "Girl, I didn't mean you, you better stop dreaming."
After speaking, he thought about it, looked at her, Ling Qingyu nodded, and he looked again in surprise, then Ling Qingyu nodded again, and he covered his mouth in surprise.
Ling Qingyu sighed and said, "Rumours kill people!"
"Your surname is Ling?" the uncle asked tentatively.
Ling Qingyu nodded.
"Opening a bank and doing shipping?" The uncle continued to probe.
Ling Qingyu nodded.
The uncle's face is very good-looking, and it is somewhat embarrassing to say that people are not talking about such things in front of the deity.
"But I'm leaving soon, and I won't come again." Ling Qingyu sighed softly.
"Why?" The uncle immediately calmed down and asked. Gossip again!
"I just woke up a few days ago to save the lady from falling into the lake. As soon as I woke up, it was rumored that this was the case. Moreover, the Wang family threatened me not to do things in Bianjing, not to mention the silver building, even the steamed stuffed bun shop." Come on, why don't I leave and wait to be made into human meat buns?" Ling Qingyu whispered angrily.
"Is there such a thing?" the uncle asked in surprise.
"Yes, this time, I lost more than two hundred thousand taels of silver! My heart hurts!" Ling Qingyu said softly.
The uncle nodded, so much money is indeed heartache, and it is even more heartache for him.
"But even though you are ugly, you are still a good person. How about asking the emperor for a marriage and marrying one of them?" The uncle squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Uncle, stop joking. My family is a female householder, and I am recruiting a son-in-law. I am already married, so how can I have anything to do with them." Ling Qingyu glared at him and said in a low voice.
"Are you married?" The uncle was a little surprised. He looked at her, and indeed she couldn't tell whether it was a woman or a girl. She was dressed in ordinary clothes, and her long hair was tied behind her head with a silver ornament. She was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary.
"Hey, that's my husband." Ling Qingyu pointed to Yan San who was sitting on the other side and staring at the stage as the background.
The uncle shook his head and said: "Sure enough, you can't believe all the gossip!" Go back and tear Wang Guifei's mouth open!
"You're not in Bianjing anymore, where are you going? Going to sea?" The uncle continued to ask in a low voice. The Ling family not only sent him spices, but also the two sets of top jewelry. He still needs to pay attention to how much.
"Don't dare to go to sea, you don't know, the pirates outside are so powerful now, I almost died at sea when I came back last time." Ling Qingyu said in a low voice: "And ah, it's hard to do business now, this time When I came back, the Quanzhou shipping company wanted to buy all the goods on my ship, but he didn’t give me any money. Later, I cried and knelt down to him, and begged him hard, only to get 40% of the money, but it’s really one or two. I didn’t even give you any money, it’s my fault.”
What else? The uncle's expression changed, and he asked, "Quanzhou Shipyard is so bold?" Not long after Chang Jing went there, she asked the Zhengshitang for 500,000 taels, saying it was for a lottery. money!
"Don't tell me, let me tell you, sea merchants are really hard to run. The first time I went to sea, I encountered a catastrophe. Half of the people on the boat died. When I finally came back, Master Fan took me. I took most of the spices I bought, and the price was kept low. I didn’t have enough money at the time, so I fooled me and said that buying land is worse than running a boat. When I heard that, I bought the land with the money I owed. Did you buy it? 150,000 taels of silver is only 120 hectares of land!" Ling Qingyu raised his palm and turned it over, saying very sadly.
This, it seems that there is such a thing in my memory, I laughed when it was reported in the newspaper, what kind of idiot did this, um, that kid Fan Ye is not bad! There is no secret deduction! The uncle smiled and said, "It's a bit high, then you have land."
"That place doesn't make any money at all," Ling Qingyu said with a sad face, "I originally wanted to come to Bianjing to try my luck, but Cheng Jia said that as long as we find the sweet potato seeds, the emperor will reward us greatly, shall we? It's easy to find, and I even gave the emperor all the spices I brought back this time that were not bought by lottery. The emperor also rewarded us with a charitable merchant. I thought, with the emperor as a backer, our silver house will never lose money Right? But look, this is the end, how dare I stay here in Bianjing, my husband and I will go back to Quanzhou to guard the field, let’s have a baby first.”
The performance of Mu Lian saving his mother had already started on stage, Yan San turned his head away, really couldn't hold back, is there any reason!
"You are miserable!" the uncle nodded. It's not easy to mix like this.
"The silver building is closed, but there are still some goods. Let's see if we can rush out during the three days of the New Year." Ling Qingyu continued to mourn.
The uncle's eyes lit up, this Ling family's jewelry is really a good thing, said: "Actually, you don't have to close the door, how about this, I will cooperate with you?"
"Uncle, I appreciate your kindness, but you are a good person, and I can't harm you. If you really let you open this silver building, you might be framed by the Wang family and wipe out the nine clans." Ling Qingyu made a neck wipe Gesture, said.
The uncle also touched his neck, felt cold behind his back, then shook his head, and said, "No, he didn't dare to touch me. Look, isn't it all a loss if you want to go like this? Leave it to me, and we'll get half or half of it." ?”
You are so black! Ling Qingyu still said worriedly: "Money is a trivial matter, I really can't hurt you. But Wu Wu, uncle, Wu Wu and I are also at a loss!"
"Don't worry, you won't hurt me anymore, Wu Wu, how could you lose money?"
"Look, even though my jewelry comes from outside the show, 40% of the cost has to be paid in addition to taxes and labor. The rent of the store and the cost of hiring people are all 60% of the cost."
"Wouldn't it be over if you raised the price a bit?"
"Who will buy it if the price is too high? It's not the kind that the emperor inscribes, and all the emperor's wives use it."
"If the emperor's inscription is inscribed, will the price be higher?"
"Uncle, you don't know this, do you? I know, our sage, he is the one who knows beauty the most. His aesthetics are not so good, and he writes well. What his old family said is naturally good. That's great! Who dares to say it's not good! It must be blind!" Ling Qingyu vowed.
The uncle nodded, and said: "That's true! Whoever dares to say no, pull it out and chop it!"
"That's why, uncle, if you can really make the emperor write inscriptions, we will give you fifty-five points!"
"This is easy to handle! Let's make an agreement, your silver building is still going to open!" the uncle urged.
"But uncle, you said you want to cooperate, who will we hand over the capital to? Where can I find you?" Ling Qingyu's eyes clearly revealed that you are not lying to me, right
Uh, the uncle was stunned for a moment, I really didn't think of this on a whim, why can't I tell this girl that I am the emperor, and I will cooperate with you to open a silver house? That's not to be laughed at.
"In this way, you send half of the jewelry to... No, I'll ask that person to come and get it." Opening the curtain a little, let Ling Qingyu see a white-faced and beardless person next to him, the uncle said: "Let's not bother, you Give him half of each purchase."
Ling Qingyu looked at him with a look on his face, the uncle coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "Well, I'll go and persuade the emperor to inscribe the inscription first, and the inscription has been sent to your bank, how about you send something over?"
"Really?" Ling Qingyu asked with disbelief.
"You girl, uncle is still lying to you at such an advanced age. If you don't believe me, forget it!" The uncle let go of the curtain and said angrily.
