Mr. Qian took me on a zigzag walk for a few streets and went directly into a pawn shop. There was a man sitting on the counter in the pawn shop. As soon as he saw us entering, he shouted: "What do you want to pawn? Come here."
"I was very familiar with the sound as soon as I heard it. I looked closely and saw that it was Mao Shiba, with his head lowered and picking at the abacus beads. When did this kid become a pawnshop clerk? He had a fierce look on his face, and he didn't look like a businessman.
.
He couldn't help laughing and said: "I have a pair of underpants here, I don't know how much I can sell them for." Mao Shiba was furious and suddenly raised his head. When he saw it was me and Qian Laoben, he was shocked and said: "Ah, Wei... guest
Officer, please come inside for tea." He hurriedly walked out of the counter and led us to the backyard.
I said, "Brother Mao, why did you start doing business?" Mao Shiba smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Qian asked me to learn how to do business." I looked at Mr. Qian and wondered why he chose
Mao Shiba came to the pawnshop to work as a clerk. Mr. Qian said: "Master Wei Xiang, we just bought this shop. I put Brother Mao here. Firstly, he is responsible for contact. Secondly, he is very skilled and can also
You can keep up with the facade."
Seeing Mao Shiba's expression, I must have been very reluctant, so I said: "It's so stuffy here, I'm afraid Brother Mao won't be happy with it. When the heaven and earth are ready in the future, let him go there to watch the show."
I was overjoyed and said: "Good brothers, we are really good friends. Our friendship is worthy of our friendship." I smiled and followed Qian Laoben into a side room.
Guan Anji, Xuanzhen, Feng Jizhong and others were all sitting in the room. They had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When they saw us entering, they all came to greet us. Xuanzhen said happily: "Master Wei Xiang, you are here. The young master of the Mu family invites us."
Went over to have dinner, the invitations have been sent." After saying that, he handed over a big red sticker. I didn't take it and said, "I kept everyone waiting. Brother Qian has already told me about the matter. Prince Mu's palace is so polite, it doesn't save our face.
I still have to give it, what do you think?"
Guan Anji said: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as eating. The Mu Prince's Mansion is probably hosting a Hongmen Banquet." Xuanzhen also said: "Master Xiang, the Mu Prince's Mansion's treat is probably because of Brother Xu's beating of Bai Hansong to death." I waved my hand.
Said: "When people die, they die. Our brother Xu is also seriously injured. Now his life or death is unknown. He knows what else he can do. It doesn't matter, he just goes to eat their food."
Everyone felt strange when they saw my boldness. Only Mr. Qian knew the inside story and smiled and said nothing.
Xuanzhen said: "Prince Mu's Mansion invites us to have dinner. If we don't go, we will appear to be afraid of others. If the incense master is brave, we will go and meet them for a while. However, in order to be on the safe side, we should still make some preparations."
I smiled and said, "What's there to prepare? What's there to be afraid of when we have a meal? Everyone just go and relax. We'll eat the poor ones in Prince Mu's Mansion." Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what kind of medicine I was selling in this gourd. It happened to be at this time
The attendant who went to get my casual clothes ran in panting, so I took my clothes and went to the side room to change my outfit.
When I came out of the house, I saw everyone waiting in the courtyard, so I said, "Let's go, don't waste the time and make people wait for a long time." A small sedan has been prepared outside. I got on the sedan and handed the money to the old man.
Ben called over and gave a few instructions in a low voice. Qian Laoben called his long attendant again and gave instructions in a low voice.
Xuanzhen got up from the sedan chair, and everyone hugged my sedan chair and walked to the place where the banquet was held in Prince Mu's Mansion.
When we arrived at the place, the sedan landed steadily. Qian Laoben raised the curtain of the sedan. I got off the sedan and saw everyone stopping in front of the door of a small courtyard. Qian Laoben whispered to me: "Master Wei Xiang, please
This is it, Prince Mu’s Mansion is too shabby, so we chose such a small place to treat guests.”
I smiled and said, "Don't make a judgment just by looking at it from the outside. Maybe it's grand inside."
Just as he was talking, the door opened, and more than ten people came out. The leader was a man who was quite well-dressed. He was in his mid-twenties, and he must be Mu Jiansheng. The people behind him were all wearing coarse shorts.
, the dress is not much better than that of the servants, even Bai Hanfeng is dressed in ordinary clothes. He thought to himself: "Is it difficult to say what kind of action the Mu Prince's Mansion is going to do?"
Mu Jiansheng took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, Mu Jiansheng, thank you very much, Lord Wei Xiang, for coming here." I chuckled, stepped forward and took his hand, and said, "Young Master, why are you so polite? You guys are so far away.
When we came to Beijing, we were supposed to be the hosts." Mu Jiansheng couldn't help but be startled when he saw how affectionate I was, and he had to smile and said: "Wei Xiangzhu has become the Xiangzhu of heaven and earth at such a young age. That's what we are extremely proud of.
I admire you, it’s just a meal, why should you care who invites you."
Just as he was talking about this, a woman suddenly rushed out of the alley. She was in her forties, dressed in colorful clothes, with flowers in her hair. She grinned with a big blood-red mouth and cursed indiscriminately: "Okay."
Ah, we are here to treat guests. A group of big men actually dare to play cymbals with me. They said that the money will be given in two days. I will not accept this trick. If you have money, bring it now. If you don’t have it, get out of here right away.
, I won’t rent my house anymore.”
Everyone in the Tiandihui and I were stunned, wondering where this woman came from. The faces of everyone in Prince Mu's Mansion were all red, and Mu Jiansheng was so angry that his hands trembled slightly and he was speechless. Bai Hanfeng stepped forward.
He took a step to block the woman and said angrily: "Didn't I tell you that I will give it to you in two days? There are so many of us, how can we run away?" The woman said: "If you really run away, where can I find you?"
Since you have money to treat me, you should pay my rent first. I don’t believe it. There are so many people and you can’t even get twenty taels of silver." Bai Hanfeng was extremely angry, but had to lower his voice and said to that person.
The two women discussed it. The woman and the reluctant woman insisted on giving them money.
Several brothers from the Tiandihui looked at each other, wondering which song Mu Wangfu was singing, but it suddenly occurred to me that Mu Jiansheng and the others spent five days in Huafeng Tower, tens of thousands of dollars, in order to catch Kangxi.
Just throwing the two pieces of silver in, not only did they not see the emperor, but they also lost their sister. In addition, there were a lot of people coming to Prince Mu's Mansion this time, and their daily food was not a small amount. Last night, they made a dangerous entrance.
Although there are many people running away from the palace, some of them are always injured. Please ask the doctor to get some medicine. I'm afraid you will use up all your money.
At that moment, he winked at Qian Laoben, who understood. He walked forward, took out a fifty-tael banknote from his arms, handed it to the woman's hand, and said, "Don't be wordy, just take it."
The money is fifty taels, go away quickly." When the woman saw that it was fifty taels, she immediately smiled and said, "Oh, sir, you are so generous. Thank you very much, sir." Bai Hanfeng said, "You haven't changed the money yet." Mu Jian said
He yelled angrily: "Bai Hanfeng!" Bai Hanfeng blushed and stepped back, and the woman left like a storm.
Mu Jiansheng blushed and said, "It makes Master Wei Xiang laugh. Please come inside." I said, "Excuse me, excuse me." Then he led me in.
Entering the hall, I saw that it was very shabby. The house was already dilapidated, and the tables and chairs were even worse. Some even had legs missing. After everyone sat down, they introduced each other, and then Mu Jiansheng ordered the servants to open the banquet, and then led everyone
Come to the inner room.
There is an Eight Immortals table inside, and there are more than a dozen plates on the table, but they are all very ordinary cold dishes. Although everyone in the Tiandi Club comes from a rough background, since I joined the club, everyone has money in their hands and can eat.
He also gradually became more careful. Seeing that Prince Mu's actions were shabby, he thought it was intentional neglect. Guan Anji's fiery temper had long been unbearable, but because Mu Jiansheng and I were present, it was difficult to act, so he could only curse in a low voice:
"Prince Mu is too stingy to entertain everyone with these things." Although Xuanzhen also had a dissatisfied look on her face, it must be Lao Jianghu, and she gently shook her hand at Guan Anji.
Naturally, I was the chief at this meal, and Mu Jiansheng sat with me at the main table. Guan Anji, Li Lishi, and Xuanzhen of the Tiandihui also sat in accordance with their duties in the Tiandihui. Qian Laoben, Feng Jizhong and others, didn't even come to the table to eat.
None of them are qualified for these rough meals. There is a row of people standing behind us, and there is also a row of people standing behind Mu Jiansheng on the opposite side, and naturally Bai Hanfeng is among them.
After everyone sat down, Bai Hanfeng entered the back room and brought out an old man with a long beard. Mu Jiansheng introduced: "This is my mentor, Liu Dahong."
"Liu Dahong laughed and said, "Taoist Master Xuanzhen has a good eye, so everyone should sit down."
There was an empty seat under Mu Jiansheng, and Xuanzhen stood next to me and said softly: "I wonder if they have any great characters that haven't come out yet." But I knew that the seat was reserved for Xu Tianchuan, so I smiled without comment. Sure enough, I knew that the seat was reserved for Xu Tianchuan.
Mu Jiansheng clapped his hands lightly, and two men helped Xu Tianchuan out. When everyone in the Tiandi Club saw him, they all stood up and greeted him, saying: "Brother Xu."
Xu Tianchuan was helped to the table and sat down next to Mu Jiansheng. I smiled and said, "Brother Xu, your legs and feet are so good that you came to Prince Mu's Mansion to play." Xu Tianchuan said, "Master Wei Xiang was joking.
, the little old man was captured by that thief Lu Yifeng and almost lost his life. Thanks to the rescue by friends from Prince Mu’s Mansion, he was able to see the incense master alive."
It was because of Lu Yifeng that Xu Tianchuan had an affair with Prince Mu's Mansion. Later, Xu Tianchuan was arrested and everyone in the Tiandihui thought it was the Prince Mu's Mansion. At that time, his language was quite disrespectful. Only then did they realize that they were wrong.
When we arrived at Prince Mu's Mansion, everyone said some words of gratitude to Mu Jiansheng. But I just smiled and watched them lively.
Mu Jiansheng said: "I'm really ashamed. Our Prince Mu's Mansion was hacked by Huafeng Tower, under the guise of the emperor, and a lot of money was stolen. We are really short of money these days and can't come up with a few recommendations. Mr. Wei Xiang, please
There are a lot of adults, but please don’t follow the ordinary views of our small family.”
