After seeing Eunuch Feng off politely, he turned his head and shopkeeper Zhu changed his face. He nodded and called Li Gongfeng over, and said in a long voice: "Brother, you have been working here for ten years."
It’s the next year! Why hasn’t this Scorpion Stinging’s temper changed at all? Last month, the Jiedushi Master even asked me about the need to arrange for a big manager to come to Luoyang and asked me who would be more suitable. I
I also solemnly recommended you to Lord Jiedushi. You said that with your temper, can I rest assured if you go? Ah!"
"Thank you, thank you shopkeeper for your support!" Li Gongfeng nodded and bowed repeatedly, and the expression of gratitude on his face did not seem to be fake at all. "I didn't mean to disturb the shopkeeper today on purpose. Indeed, that person is indeed very powerful.
So I want to let you know as soon as possible. If you can keep the things in this person's hands and find an opportunity to present them to Master Jiedushi, maybe he will be happy and the next Yangzhou Biejia will be vacant and he will be appointed informally.
You old man!"
"Go, go, go, I'm a pawnbroker and I haven't even read a few serious books. Why should I stay away from Yangzhou?" Shopkeeper Zhu pushed Li Chongfeng and didn't believe what he said at all. But deep down in his heart,
But there was a vague desire that could not be suppressed. Master Jieduzhi had always taken great care of his subordinates. Yangzhou was Shangzhou, so I guess he would not dare to grant the position privately. But scholars like Xunzhou and Guangzhou regarded it as a distribution.
It shouldn't be difficult for him to find one or two positions for his subordinates in his place, right?
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Zhu's face gradually turned warm again. He glanced at the timid Li Gongfeng and curled his lips and said, "Tell me, what exactly made you lose your temper? If it is really a treasure, today's
All mistakes will be wiped out!"
"Yes, yes..." Li Gongfeng looked around and put his mouth towards Shopkeeper Zhu's ear, "The giant sword! The one that disappeared with Queen Wu's descendants. Guys don't know this.
You, old man, are well-informed and must have heard of the origin of the sword!"
"What?" Shopkeeper Zhu took half a step back, almost unable to believe his ears. The Giant Sword was made by King Helu of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period, who hired Ou Yezi with a large sum of money. Later, the Kingdom of Wu was destroyed by Yue, and the sword also disappeared. The last time
It appeared at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and was obtained by Du Fuwei, a green forest tycoon, in an ancient tomb dug to raise military supplies. In the early years of Wude, Du Fuwei surrendered. In order to show that he would never engage in martial arts again in his life, he gave this sword to him.
It was presented to Emperor Gaozu as a gift. Therefore, the civil and military officials of that year had the opportunity to see his true appearance, and Yan Liben drew a color picture as a souvenir. When Taizong was in power, because he loved King Ke of Wu, he gave him this sword when he was crowned.
, inspired him to work hard to practice martial arts, and in the future he would be the leader of the Tang Dynasty.
Declined and disappeared from people's sight again.
During the Shenlong period, Zhongzong rehabilitated King Wu. The descendants of King Wu were pardoned in Lingnan and returned to Chang'an one after another. However, the giant sword did not appear with the return of King Wu's descendants. However, it was said by folk treasure merchants that
News about this sword spread from time to time, sometimes in the south of the Ling Dynasty, sometimes in the north of the Great Wall, and the dragon never saw its end.
The imperial concubine's brother Yang Guozhong didn't like to study in his early years and spent all his time hanging out with the local gangsters in the market. Now he has become the governor of Jiannan and holds seventeen important positions such as Taifu Qing. Naturally, he doesn't want to be seen as vulgar anymore and needs a lot of
Elegant things decorate the facade. Therefore, various historical antiquities, calligraphy and paintings have become the focus of Zhu Jinan's store. Last time, a poor Jinshi who had been living in the capital for many years accidentally bought a painting at a low price in the ghost market.
The authentic work of Wang Youjun was sent to the residence of the Jiedushi Master. Not long after, he was awarded the position of governor of Yingzhou. If the giant sword can really be obtained for the Jiedushi Master this time, shopkeeper Zhu's family may be afraid
A golden unicorn is about to fly out!
There is a saying that when a person's heart is full of desires, his mind will certainly not be too clear. Full of fantasies, shopkeeper Zhu left Li Gongfeng behind and rushed to the front hall in two or three steps. Entering the private room, he looked towards
The young man's arms inside were roughly clasped together, and his heart immediately started beating crazily. Yes, that was the Giant Que Sword. Li Gongfeng saw it correctly. Shopkeeper Zhu had seen it more than once in Yan Liben's paintings.
I never expected to encounter this sword so close in this life.
"Young Master Yun, right?!" Without waiting for the waiter to help introduce him, shopkeeper Zhu took the initiative to talk, "I am the shopkeeper of this shop, my surname is Zhu, ranking seventh. Mr. Yun, just call me Zhu Qi. I don't know who Mr. Yun accepts.
You were entrusted to come here, so what did you do?"
"Oh!" Mr. Yun, who had an air of nobility in his appearance, gently cupped his hand and inadvertently handed the hilt of the sword closer to Shopkeeper Zhu, "You keep asking me. One of my friends' last name is
Yuwen, please ask me to bring you a letter!"
"Yuwen? Ah, brother Yuwen, I remembered it, I remembered it. Where is the letter? I'm sorry, Mr. Yun!" Shopkeeper Zhu was a little confused. The surname Yuwen was very unique. Apart from brother Yuwenzhi, he didn't remember that he had any other
He knew the third person named Yuwen. But for the sake of Juque Sword, he didn’t intend to go into details. Because there is an unwritten rule in the dry red goods industry, which only looks at the authenticity of the object without asking about its origin.
Mr. Wang and Sun, who came out to sell off the family heirlooms, felt embarrassed, so that Mr. Liang Shang would not be questioned and feel guilty.
"Here, please take a look at it!" Mr. Yun handed the sword to his left hand, and took out a thick envelope from his right hand. He handed it to Shopkeeper Zhu in front of the guys.
Although the contents of the letter were worthless compared to the giant sword in front of him. But in order to leave a good impression on Mr. Yun, shopkeeper Zhu carefully inspected the paint on the letter and then cut the envelope with a knife.
He cut it open and took out the letter inside.
At a glance, he was shocked, and instinctively wanted to call someone in from the outside. But looking at the generous appearance of Mr. Yun, his heart suddenly shuddered, and he smiled, suppressing his anger and asked
He said: "I wonder where this letter, Master Yun, came from? Which Master named Yuwen asked you to deliver it to me."
"Who else can I have? The one who had a drink with Shopkeeper Zhu." Mr. Yun was holding the juque in one hand, while the other hand was bored and tapping lightly on the table. Every time he knocked, he was
A clear small hole was left on the nanmu table. "He gave me this letter a long time ago, saying that if he encounters trouble in the future, shopkeeper Zhu will definitely help me when he sees the letter. In the past few days, I suddenly
I couldn't find him, so I thought, since he believed in Shopkeeper Zhu's character so much, he went all the way to deliver the letter to you. Take a closer look, there's nothing missing in it, right?!"
"Ah, ah, no, no less!" Shopkeeper Zhu's face was instantly covered with oil and sweat, and he instinctively hid his body back. However, he did not dare to hide too far. Since the handsome young man could use his finger knuckles to
There are holes in the nanmu table. If he makes him anxious and randomly hits his forehead like this, won't his head become a colander?
"Now that the letter has been delivered, it's time for me to leave!" Mr. Yun smiled and stood up from the bench. "Oh! By the way, look at my memory. I'm afraid I'll be greedy and cause trouble. Brother Xin Yuwen is similar.
He has also entrusted it to several people. I guess you will receive a few more letters in the next few days. Alas, he is too cautious sometimes."
"You, you..." Shopkeeper Zhu deliberately stretched out his hand to keep Mr. Yun. He stretched out his hand halfway, but trembled and took it back. There were several letters, leaving Mr. Yun could not solve the problem at present.
Dilemma. Once Yu Wenzhi was cornered, the next letter might be delivered directly to Li Linfu. But just letting Ju Que Sword and his master leave like this, shopkeeper Zhu was very unwilling to do so. From behind, he
He chased for a few steps, keeping a distance of more than three feet from the other party, and asked at the top of his voice: "Yun, Mr. Yun, can you tell me where you live? If I write a reply, how will it be delivered to you?
?”
"I live in the Bodhi Temple in the southeast of Pingkangli! It's just across the wall from Li Weigong's old residence! There's no need to reply. Shopkeeper Zhu will just treat my friend to a drink in the future." Mr. Yun's steps were steady and steady, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave.
He looked like that, smiled, turned around and said. (Note 1)
Shopkeeper Zhu immediately shrank back half a foot, fearing that the other party would suddenly burst out and hurt him. After a while, he found that one of the other party's legs had already stepped over the threshold. He suddenly came back to his senses and shouted loudly: "Young Master Yun, please be slow."
Let's go. You guys..."
"What, shopkeeper Zhu, or is it something else?" Mr. Yun retracted his leg from the hurdle and asked with a smile.
"No, no!" When caught by the other party's gaze, all the courage in Shopkeeper Zhu's heart disappeared. He grinned and responded in a low voice, "I, I just thought that you had to come all the way to deliver the letter.
It's not appropriate to let you go without even having a drink of tea. What are you guys doing standing around? Hurry up and bring out a basket of rock sugar from Nanyang and give it to Mr. Yun to make tea and soothe your throat."
"Alas, alas!" The clerks were at a loss by Shopkeeper Zhu's startled appearance. They agreed repeatedly, took out a pre-packed basket of expensive rock candy from the container, and handed it to Mr. Yun respectfully.
.
"In this case, it's better to be respectful than to obey your orders!" Mr. Yun thanked shopkeeper Zhu very politely, took the rock candy, and walked away with a smile. When everyone disappeared from the street corner, shopkeeper Zhu shivered.
He wiped his sweat on the ground, ignored the looks of people waiting in the shop, and shouted at the guys, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and get a few people to keep an eye on the person named Yun. If you can't find him today,
It’s our place of stay, none of you have to come back! Go quickly, go quickly. It’s closing, it’s closing. The weather is not very good today, dear guests, please check out and go home early. Everything you like is 20% off.”
Note 1: Li Weigong’s former residence is Li Linfu’s mansion.
Note 2: Rock sugar and sucrose are not specialties of ancient China. They are usually imported from Southeast Asia or India. Therefore, rock sugar is a very valuable gift.
