The new year is approaching, the streets and alleys in the capital are full of excitement, a lively scene, some dignitaries pour in, and those who do business on the street are extremely busy. For businessmen, the more this At that time, the more he had to try his best to put the money from the pockets of these dignitaries into his own pocket, otherwise, this year would be a waste of work. Because only at this time is the time when money comes the fastest.
In the capital, there are people coming and going, all kinds of hawking, shouting, and arena competitions, and acrobatics. It can be said that everything from the whole country is going to be moved to this capital. The streets are full of red and purple things. Those beautiful dolls and clay figurines have attracted many children to watch. All kinds of Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers abound, giving people a festive and dazzling feeling.
Seeing that there are so many interesting things in the capital, those high-ranking officials chose to buy their New Year's goods in this capital. Since the waterway in the capital is more convenient, those people bought New Year's goods and went directly to the waterway, which drove the enthusiasm of those boatmen. Business made those boatmen laugh. All of them are very diligent to welcome these nobles.
Of course, Beili Pavilion is also very lively. Those guests who come and go point to this Beili Pavilion and say: "It really opened my eyes. I have heard that this Beili Pavilion is not ordinary. It turns out that it is true. You can live here in your lifetime. It is also the greatest honor of my life to spend time here.”
"We are from the Shangshu Mansion. Could it be that we can't enter the North Li Pavilion?" The man in the purple robe said disdainfully. He was about to enter the North Li Pavilion, but was stopped by the guards at the entrance of the North Li Pavilion. The man said with some displeasure: "Open your eyes wide and see who I am?"
"I'm sorry son, we only recognize tokens. Please show your tokens. If you don't have them, please go elsewhere." The guard said blankly. This is the special feature of Beili Pavilion. The guests left, and that's why a large number of people scrambled to enter the North Li Pavilion, as if entering the North Li Pavilion would make their status more dignified.
The man suppressed his anger. There must be a strong backer behind the Beili Pavilion, otherwise it would not be able to develop rapidly in the capital. The man threw the token of the Shangshu Mansion in front of the guards, and these few people were let in. This scene Falling into the eyes of Chu Meng who fell to the side, Chu Meng looked at the person in front of him, and then asked softly: "Are you going to drink tea and watch singing and dancing, or do you want to recite poems and play chess?"
The man in the purple robe looked at Chu Meng's well-behaved look in front of him, and thought that he must be in charge.
"Then let's go singing and dancing first." The man said. Chu Meng smiled and said, "Masters, please come with me."
"Then is there any good tea to drink?" asked the man in black robe,
Chu Meng quickly replied: "As for this master, here are the best West Lake Longjing tea, Huangshan Maofeng tea, cactus tea, and Dongting Lake Biluochun tea."
The man said, "Then come to Biluochun, remember that the heat must be in place." The man said arrogantly, Chu Meng was not annoyed, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, don't worry, our tea cooker is here." It is one of the best in the capital, so please rest assured, Lord."
Hearing this, the man felt relieved and said, "Okay."
From the corner of his eyes, Chu Meng saw the carrier pigeons come and stop on the window, and said calmly, "Sirs, sit down here, and I'll get ready." After the man nodded, Chu Meng just left. See what message the carrier pigeon is delivering.
Walking to the window, before taking off the letter on the pigeon's feet, I still didn't forget to look around, and then unfolded the note with confidence, and the general meaning on it was that among the five passenger ships brought to the capital by sea, one There is a large amount of gunpowder inside, and this batch of gunpowder and New Year's goods are all placed in the mansion of General Wuhu.
Chu Meng was a little shocked. Although Chu Meng had come into contact with such news a lot, he still felt that it was extremely terrifying. With so much gunpowder, he was probably about to betray him, so Chu Meng felt that the big news should be reported as soon as possible. Let Ziqian know.
Chu Meng hurriedly came to Ziqian, and said respectfully: "Master Ziqian, there is news that..."
Ziqian raised his hand and asked Chu Meng to wait until he finished playing the chessboard in his hand.
So Chu Meng waited patiently. After a while, Ziqian finally said the last word. He stretched lazily, and Ziqian turned around and said, "What do you want to say? If so, leave immediately."
Chu Meng handed the note on the carrier pigeon to Ziqian, and said, "Returning to Master Ziqian, there is news that a batch of gunpowder has been shipped to the residence of General Wuhu."
"Chu Meng." Ziqian suddenly called out, raising the corners of his lips.
"What's the matter, Master Ziqian?" Chu Meng was a little confused. Could it be that the content of her report was wrong, and it wasn't that gunpowder entered the capital
Ziqian raised the note in his hand, and said with a half-smile: "Have you forgotten, who is the young master of Beili Pavilion? Have you forgotten that it is not me, Ziqian, who is in charge of Beili Pavilion now?" No, it's Phoenix."
"The last time General Qu came to Beijing, it was too late for you to send her the news, and she was already displeased. Do you have to wait a few days before telling her this time? She is the young master of Beili Pavilion! It is Beili The master of the pavilion!" Ziqian smiled indifferently, and then looked at Chu Meng with a very strange look. Chu Meng looked up, was shocked, and quickly lowered his head, never daring to look up again. Sometimes, Chu Meng felt that Ziqian's eyes seemed to be able to kill people, which made Chu Meng feel terrified, and without knowing it, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his body.
"If there is anything in the future, please notify the Young Pavilion Master as soon as possible, do you understand?" Ziqian said with a downcast face. Chu Meng was a little hesitant. It's not that she didn't believe in Fenghuang, but she didn't think that Fenghuang could be better than Ziqian at all. After dealing with so many things going up and down in the Beili Pavilion, Chu Meng said frankly: "Master Ziqian, after all, the master of the young pavilion just took over the Beili Pavilion, and he has never dealt with anything before. I am worried that the young master will not be able to do anything." Make the right judgment and give the right order."
"Are you doubting my order, or the former master of Beili Pavilion?" Ziqian was very displeased, and Chu Meng quickly said: "I dare not, this subordinate will pass the news to the young master. "
"Well, but I can tell you that there is no next time for you, and I will not allow you to make the same mistake again, you understand what I mean." Ziqian said this coldly, which made Chu Meng feel very uncomfortable. Sometimes this person is really mysterious,
"What are you doing here in a daze? Why don't you hurry back?" Seeing that Chu Meng was still standing here, Ziqian said with a blank expression. Chu Mengmeng said that Ziqian was chasing people, and he didn't bother Ziqian, and went back to the front to greet the guests.
There is something very unpredictable in Ziqian's eyes. Looking at the sky, there is no cloud in the sky, just like the holes in his eyes. Ziqian feels a little irritable when he thinks about what Chu Meng said just now.
"Secret out."
