But said the next morning.
Just as the fiery red sun was about to jump out from under the horizon, Hong Jiu carried a bird cage and walked into the 'Xiankelai' restaurant three times at a time. The cage was placed on the table of the Eight Immortals.
While the parrot was chirping, Hong Jiu also shouted loudly, "Where are the people? Where are all the people?!"
The xiankelai restaurant's Xiaolong soup dumplings are second to none in the entire capital, so many regular customers came to visit early in the morning.
And the more people noticed, Hong Jiu's attitude became more and more arrogant. He put one leg on the bench, raised his neck and prepared to shout again.
At this time, a shop assistant rushed over as if he was rushing over, wiping the table, while laughing with him: "Master, do you want to..."
However, just after the polite remarks started, the shop boy's face suddenly changed again, pointing at Hong Jiu and exclaiming: "You... you are not Hong Jiu, a beggar who lives in a nearby ruined temple? How come you are dressed as This look?!"
Such a pompous expression!
Hong Jiu sneered at this fellow's acting skills, but he raised his chest and said eloquently: "Of course, it is your Hong Jiuye!"
As he said that, he took out a piece of broken silver that was worth five taels from the sleeve, slapped it on the table, and sneered, "Did you not spoil the ninth master last month, saying it was your bun? Even if you feed the dog, won't you give me one? Today, I want to see if you can buy a few buns for you to try!"
The shop assistant looked at the silver on the table, and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Where did you get the silver, shouldn't it be stolen or robbed?!"
Who picked this special lady
With such a flawed appearance, thanks to him, he has the nerve to sing the opposite scene with our Hong Jiuye!
Hong Jiu sneered in his heart, but raised his nose to the sky again, and sneered disdainfully: "Jiuye, what kind of character do I have to be able to steal from other people's homes? To tell you the truth, I am a good person and have good rewards. Picked up one thing and sold it for more than three hundred taels!"
The shop assistant was like a repeater, and hurriedly handed over another line: "What can be so valuable? Are you bragging?!"
"blow?"
Hong Jiu glared at him and said angrily, "You are not deaf, don't you even know the name of Tao Zhu Jinbei? I picked up a Tao Zhu Jinbei last year. I took it out and asked someone to ask, but I didn't expect it to be a top-grade gold shell, and I replaced one..."
"what?!"
Before Hong Jiu could finish speaking, someone among the guests jumped up and said anxiously, "You really picked up a top-grade golden shell?!"
Seeing that "surely" someone jumped out to question, Hong Jiu immediately patted his chest and said, "The real gold and silver have already fallen into my pocket, can this be fake?"
Who knew that the guest listened, but he shook his head and sighed: "The beggar is really a beggar, it's really ignorant! How can you sell the top-grade gold shell without five hundred taels of silver? You sold it for three hundred taels of silver. , really... ah~!"
Hearing this, Hong Jiu immediately jumped up in a rage, put on a posture of anger and rushed to the crown, and scolded: "How can this king, who has been plagued by plague, actually deceive Lao Tzu?! No, I have to Find that grandson!"
As he said that, he picked up the bird cage and ran out without hesitation.
Everyone in the hall burst into laughter, but they were envious.
The person who spoke just now shook his head and said, "I don't know which unlucky person lost this top-grade Tao Zhu Jinbei."
Someone sitting next to him laughed and said, "Didn't you hear what he said? It was picked up last year. At that time, a top-grade gold shell was only two taels of silver. Who would have thought that after more than half a year of hard work, it has already risen to the sky. already?!"
"No!"
Someone else said: "Who has a top-grade gold shell at home now, and it has to be protected like an eyeball, how can someone else pick it up cheaply?"
"Don't say it's top-grade, even middle-grade is worth the money right now!"
"I heard that someone bought more than a dozen coins for three taels of silver, and it has more than quadrupled in two months!"
"It's a pity that this stuff is really hard to buy, otherwise, if you buy a few and save them for a year and a half, you can make a lot of money!
Everyone was discussing in full swing, but the shop clerk suddenly shouted in surprise: "I remembered, I heard that a beggar made a fortune recently and bought a name for the beggar's guardian from the government office. Unexpectedly, this is the surname Hong!"
This is the last line, and the only line that Hong Jiu doesn't know.
After speaking, the shop assistant didn't care about the reactions of the diners, so he touched the silver in his pocket happily and couldn't keep his mouth shut.
Just at this moment, a young man rushed in like a fly, and when he reached the table in the northwest corner, he gasped, "Dad... Daddy... Daddy..."
The guests at the table were startled, jumped up, grabbed the young man's arm and said, "What happened to our father? When I came out in the morning, wasn't it okay?!"
The young man shook his head like a rattle and stomped his feet: "No... not my father!"
The guest was stunned at first, then relaxed and said speechlessly, "Since it was your father-in-law who had an accident, what's the use of looking for me?"
"Not my father-in-law!"
The young man was about to go crazy, he beat his chest a few times, and said word by word, "It's Jinbei, Jinbei fell!"
"what?!"
When the guest heard this, he was several times more nervous than when he was worried about his father. He grabbed his brother's arm and shook desperately, "How could it fall? Isn't it rising three times a day these days?! How much has it fallen, How much did it fall?!"
"A full six coins fell!"
The young man hurriedly said: "There are more than 2,000 middle-grade gold shells placed near Honglu Temple, and fourteen taels are released for sale!"
Hearing the price, the customer calmed down a little, thinking to himself that he bought it for ninety-eight dollars, and that he still has a lot of money to make.
But this morning, I lost six cents of silver. If it continues to fall...
"Walk!"
The guest raised his hand and said, "Go home and bring the golden shells I saved, and let's go to Honglu Temple to take a look!"
As soon as the two left, the rest of the diners in the restaurant were also a little absent-minded, thinking that they had finished their meal quickly, so that they could go to Honglu Temple to watch the lively—there were even two people in the restaurant who simply dropped the steamed buns and ran after them. out.
After half an hour...
Beijing Palace.
Wei Rusong was livid, pacing back and forth in the flower hall. In the early morning, he had just boasted about Haikou in front of Shui Rong. Who would have guessed that in a blink of an eye, someone would openly smash the scene!
If the price of this golden shell is really ruined, how can I explain it to Shuirong? !
"Master Wei."
Just as he was in a hurry, he saw Steward Liu from the mansion hurriedly walked in, bowed and replied, "Now there is news from the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, and several stewards are furiously asking about the person who sold Tao Zhu Jinbei in Honglu Temple. Who is it!"
"What's the point now, what's the use of asking this?!"
Wei Rusong originally hoped that King Zhongshun would take thunderous measures to suppress this sudden spoiler, but who would have expected such a messy news.
Guanshi Liu said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid they can't blame them. I heard that King Zhongshun followed His Majesty to the palace yesterday to escape the summer. There is no one in charge at home. Who would dare to arbitrarily decide?"
That's what it is, no wonder...
But in this way, the burden of maintaining the price of Jinbei completely falls on the Beijing Palace.
Steward Liu watched Wei Rusong turn two more times, and couldn't help urging: "Mr. Wei, why don't we call the prince up and invite him to the old man..."
"Do not!"
Wei Rusong paused, shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to hesitate. If we delay like this, the price of Jinbei will plummet!"
As he said that, he gritted his teeth and firmly ordered: "You immediately have someone bring all the money and go buy all those golden shells! At the same time, the wind is released outside, and it is said that the family of Youxun Gui intends to use Taozhu golden shells to build them. A Longevity Mountain is dedicated to the Emperor Taishang as a birthday gift!"
Liu Guanshi wondered: "This..."
"What is this?!"
Wei Rusong stared: "If we can't stabilize the momentum now, the 90,000 gold shells we bought will be all in our hands! Besides, as long as the momentum can be stopped, the price of gold shells will be raised again. Gao, even if you buy it for fourteen taels of silver, you can still make a lot of money!"
"But if Tongtong still can't stabilize the momentum after buying it, wouldn't it..."
"impossible!"
Wei Rusong waved his hand and said confidently: "The summer palace is only half a day's journey from the capital. When King Zhongshun rushes back from the palace, what else can be settled?"
