Yu Wei Lu also bead roll Jade Raw Smoke Twenty-seven, Duo Bao Ge

27. Treasure Pavilion

It was Qi Yu who came from the street corner in the distance. He looked at Li Moxuan, who greeted him, and also waved in greeting.

The two got together, and Li Moxuan asked, "How did you get here?" ”

Xiao Shusheng looked at the servants who were constantly busy in the broken bricks and tiles, and then said:

"I'll come and see if you have anything you need help with here."

Li Moxuan rubbed his eyebrows, "This news also spread a little too quickly, even you know about the storm of the fire in this Imperial Ink Hall?" ”

Qi Yu replied honestly, "Brother Zi Yu, the place where I live is not far from here, and when there was a fire last night, I came to put out the fire." ”

Li Moxuan reached out and patted Qi Yu's shoulder and sighed, "Huai Ren, you are really a good person. Thank you. ”

Xiao Shusheng blushed a little, waved his hand, and said, "I didn't help anything, I haven't done anything yet, I was born with a strange wind, rolled up a lot of water, and put out this fire." ”

Li Moxuan listened to what he said was similar to what the miscellaneous servants who rushed to meet him last night who had extinguished the fire on their way home, and casually asked: "What about later?" ”

Xiao Shusheng said, "Later, when I saw that the fire was extinguished, everyone who put out the fire had dispersed, and suddenly I thought that the imperial ink in the back hall was not soaked by the water that fell from this day, so I decided to go to the back hall to check it out, but before I went to the back hall, there was a strange wind, and I blew Xiaosheng out." ”

Li Moxuan heard the words and did not ask a question, but after hearing a "grunt" behind him, a series of violent coughing sounds followed.

The two turned back and looked at Yu Xuan, whose face was crimson and suddenly coughed.

Li Moxuan worried, "Yatou, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yu Xuan looked at the concerned eyes of the two people, seemed to be a little embarrassed, and whispered, "I accidentally choked when I swallowed the saliva, it's all right." ”

After this time, the two people stopped talking about last night's night fire, and after some gossip, Li Moxuan and his wife invited Qi Yu to go to Duobao Pavilion with them, and Xiao Shusheng had nothing to do, so they traveled with the two of them.

Qi Yu, Li Moxuan and the other three left the Yumo Hall and came to Yuliang Street.

Yuliang Street is surrounded by mountains, paved with pebbles, lined with shops, and bustling merchants. Meat shops, medicine shops, pen and ink shops, fish shops, liquor stores, ancestral halls, and temples are lined up one by one and arranged in an orderly manner. Guys from all walks of life are selling along the street, and the flow of people from the south to the north or stop to watch, or enter the store to choose, the whole street is filled with a lively and noisy atmosphere.

Li Moxuan led Qi Yu into the only jewelry store on this street: Duobaoge.

As soon as he entered the building, Qi Yu was dazzled by a walking counter in front of the magnificent Duobao Pavilion: aqua-green jadeite, a warm Hetian jade pendant, gelatinous amber, finger-belly-sized pearls, three-foot-tall coral trees, emerald emeralds, white bricks, ivory bone fans rhino horn cups... It goes on and on.

Looking at these treasures that symbolized wealth, Xiao Shusheng's breathing gradually became heavier.

Li Moxuan looked like a regular customer, and did not have this reaction of Qi Yu, greeted the guy in the shop, looked up just to ask something, his eyes suddenly fell on a rich middle-aged man who walked down from the second floor of the Duobao Pavilion, he solemnized his face, and then, he gave a deep salute to the man who came there, and said: "Lord Taishan, why are you here?" ”

The middle-aged man was the head of the Mu family, the father of the Mu family, and The father-in-law of Li Moxuan.

The middle-aged man with the color on his face looked at Li Moxuan and smiled, "It turned out to be Zi Yu, I was idle and bored, and came over to buy something." As he spoke, he swept his eyes backwards, and after seeing the woman behind Li Moxuan, his face gradually faded, and his tone became much colder, saying, "Zi Yu, I have something to do at home, go first." In the future, when I have time, I will take Wan Er home and walk around. After saying that, he patted Li Moxuan's shoulder, and without waiting for him to reply, he turned and left.

After Li Moxuan gave a salute to the back shadow, he turned back to continue talking to the guy.

"I don't know how many Beihai Pearls there are in your pavilion?"

The guy looked at Li Moxuan, who was asking, his face seemed to be a little strange, and after a deep groan, he replied: "Li Gongzi, I'm going to ask the treasurer about this, you will be there later." ”

At this time, Yu Xuan was trying a skeleton peacock hairpin, and Li Moxuan's eyes did not notice this, but casually replied: "Okay." Then he began to help his wife choose the style of the hairpin.

After a while, a burst of kicking footsteps sounded, and the five short-bodied, smiling Duobaoge treasurers walked down from the second floor with the guys who had left before, and before anyone arrived, the enthusiastic laughter came over:

"Oh, what kind of wind is it today that blew Li Gongzi here?" Come and come, Li Gongzi, please come to the table and have good tea. ”

In a burst of hospitality, the treasurer, who had obviously been trained in all aspects, quickly used a few compliments to stir up the atmosphere between several people to be lively and lively.

Just asking Li Moxuan about the Duobaoge treasurer who came this time was obviously a little scared.

This time, Li Moxuan looked into his eyes and asked, "What's wrong, Treasurer Jin, is there no inventory now?" ”

The Golden Treasurer's brow tightened, and he groaned, "Although this Hepu Zhu is rare, there are still eleven or twelve of them in my treasure cabinet." But..."

This sound only tightened Li Moxuan's nerves, and he stared at the eyes of the Golden Treasurer and asked:

"But what?"

The Gold Treasurer spread his hands and said, "Li Gongzi, you came a little late, these dozen pearls have just been set by others, and you will have to pick up the goods in a few days." Or Li Gongzi you look at other pearls? In my shop, there are also the best East Pearls, although it is not as good as the North Sea Pearl, but it is also a pearly and flawless product. ”

Li Moxuan slowly shook his head, "If it is usual, there is no big problem in using this East Sea Pearl, now... The gold treasurer, but he did not know how long it would take for the next batch of Beihai pearls to arrive. ”

The Golden Treasurer closed his eyes and frowned, as if calculating in his heart, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said, "It will take more than a month at the earliest." ”

Li Moxuan's eyebrows tightened even tighter, and he suddenly asked, "Treasurer Jin, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if it is appropriate to talk about it?" ”

"Li Gongzi is polite in this remark, but you say it is okay."

Li Moxuan sighed again and again, and deliberated: "You and I are both Tao Zhuzhong people, and we are extremely reputable businessmen, and we dare not ask you to break the contract." However, we in the Imperial Ink Hall are indeed in urgent need of the North Sea Pearl, I don't know if you can help, introduce me to this lord, let me discuss with him, can you? As for whether things will succeed or not, Zi Yu should be thanked heavily. Saying that, he looked at the golden treasurer with a hopeful face.

The Golden Treasurer shook his head and laughed, "Li Gongzi, you are very familiar with this Lord, so you don't need me to introduce him." ”

"Who?"

"Ling Yue."

Outside the Treasure Pavilion, next to a weeping willow, three people stood firmly.

Because the Beihai Pearl in the cabinet has been fixed, these three people in the cabinet also lost the desire to buy something, looked around, and finally left.

Qi Yu asked, "What does Brother Zi Yu urgently need beihai pearls for?" ”

Li Moxuan patiently explained to him.

"Brother Zi Yu went to have a good discussion with Ling Yue, and his old man will always help him with the family's affairs." Qi Yu said with relief.

Li Moxuan glanced at Yuxuan, shook his head, and did not answer.

Although Xiao Shusheng has a simple heart, he is not a person who is not familiar with the affairs of the world, and such a family marriage, the internal affairs are afraid of being complicated, not something that he can understand as an outsider, and he will not say more.

At this moment, Yu Xuan, who was beside the two of them, said softly: "Brother Xuan, when you have time, you should indeed lead Sister Mu back to her mother's house to walk around, so as to enhance the friendship between each other." ”

Li Moxuan looked at her in surprise, and Yuxuan came over and gently sorted out his clothes, saying, "You, as the young lord of the Li family, the family affairs are big, why should you worry about the feelings of your children in everything?" But today, it's rare that I have fun, and you have to accompany me. ”

The three people who put the pearl matter aside first discussed, the two wanted to stroll around the street to taste the local characteristics, one wanted to go to the suburbs and rivers to have fun, the final result was that the majority obeyed the minority, but Li Moxuan, who could not get his wife, finally chose to spoil, so that Xiao Shusheng could only cry out in vain in his heart.

So the three of them went all the way out of the city, under the shade of the willows, walked a distance that was sweaty, and came to a slow flow of a river outside the southwest city, and stopped.

Li Moxuan saw that the river surface was slightly scaly, the water was as green as blue, and for a moment his childlike heart rose, so he picked up a flat river stone and hit a few water drifters.

Qi Yu looked at the sun in the sky and fanned himself with his hand.

Yu Xuan also seemed to feel a little sunburned, put his hand on the pergola, looked around, and suddenly shouted with joy:

"Look, there's a grass hut there, let's go and take a break."

A few people came to the grass hut, and saw an old man in linen clothes leaning on a bamboo chair and nodding his head and dozing off, the river breeze blew, and the thick beard of the ruler was scattered like a dandelion, making the wrinkled face look even thinner.

The old man held a long bamboo pole in his hand, straight into the river, and the thin point of the pole, little by little, fell on the surface of the river, trembling with the ripples of the road.

"Is this old man fishing?" Xiao Shusheng asked in a low voice of curiosity.

Li Moxuan looked at it, shook his head, and said, "It's not like ah, there is no fishing line, how to fish?" ”

When the two were discussing in a low voice, the head of the rod sank violently, and the old man seemed to feel the change of the rod, suddenly sat up straight, his eyes lit up, and his hands waved the rod, and he actually threw out a foot-long grass carp from the river water.

"Well, there are such stupid fish!" The old man was so happy that he couldn't hold the fish with his tail, and even forgot to manage the rod, and he was going to go down the river under the impact of the river.

Qi Yu took a step forward and fished it out, and found that it was just a bamboo pole with a few green bamboo leaves on the top, and he couldn't understand how such a rod could catch fish, so he walked over and handed the rod to the smiling old man.

At this time, the old man found that there were several more people in front of him.

"Thank you, boy. The old fool almost lost my goose pole, you are..."

Li Moxuan said, "Old man, a few of us came out of the city to play, Humble Jing wanted to find a shady place to rest, and when he saw that there was a grass hut here, he came over, and there was a lot of disturbance, I hope you will forgive me." ”

When the old man saw a few people talking about gentleness, he greeted them warmly: "Don't bother, don't bother, I'm an old man who is here to put geese and worry about no one to chat with me." As the saying goes, it is better to meet than to meet. Since we met today is also fate, you see, as soon as you come, you also let me catch a big fat fish with green bamboo leaves, if you don't abandon it, we stewed this fish together, hehe old man's own village wild earth roast, how? ”

The three of them saw that the old man was very enthusiastic, so they nodded their heads in response.
