"Several of your shops are indeed involved!" Shangguan Yu hesitated and said, "Do you still remember Shopkeeper Sun from last time?"
Abao nodded, "That person has an extraordinary background. I'm afraid that Mrs. Mei is not an ordinary person either. I have sent people to check, but there is no news yet!"
"I have received news this morning that Mrs. Mei is Princess Meishi of Rao Kingdom and the current Queen. However, five years ago, she ran away from the palace. Some people said that she entered a Buddhist temple and became a nun. Others said
She left Rao Country. Unexpectedly, in the past five years, she has been traveling among various countries as a businessman. "Shu Xuan Chuan Xing" Shangguan Yu motioned for Abao to sit down and whispered, "And the person who poisoned it has also been found out."
, they are people sent by Rao State, Rao State may start a civil war!"
Abao exclaimed in shock: "It turns out that Mrs. Mei is actually the queen of Rao Kingdom. Speaking of which, one of my brothers has some connections with her!"
The brother Abao said was really Liu Yi. Now Liu Yi and Mai Xiang are herding sheep and horses in Dongchaer Grassland, living a very happy life.
"That day, Mrs. Mei was plotted against. Not long after, she and Shopkeeper Sun left the capital. Before leaving, she handed over Tianshui Bi's business to another merchant. My people contacted that merchant, but they didn't expect it.
The merchant refused to see me at all, and even insisted on seeing you!" Shangguan Yu lowered his voice slightly, "The appearance of the ghost doctor that day may have made shopkeeper Sun guess your identity. Now it seems,
The businessman I am taking over now wants to see you by name, and I am afraid he has an ulterior motive! In short, you need to consider this matter personally!"
Tianshuibi is also a kind of celestial silk, because celestial silkworm silk is very precious. It absorbs the essence of the sun and moon on the Tianshan Mountains. Like snow lotus, it is a rare treasure in the world. Moreover, this kind of celestial silkworm only spins silk once in its life, costing tens of thousands taels per piece.
Money is not enough, so this kind of sky silk has always been only white, and no one dares to dye it. But five years ago, a kind of sky silk came from the Luo Kingdom, but it was green. Legend has it that the green silk
The color is caused by the silkworm sucking a kind of mulberry tree in the Luo Kingdom. This green color is the essence of the evolution of the silkworm. It is completely natural. Whether it is used for embroidery or weaving, the green color can be followed.
The unevenness of the needle thread and the changes in external light change into different shades of color. Speaking of which, it is more precious than the priceless day silk. Later, I don’t know who gave this kind of day silk another name.
, it’s called Tianshui Bi.
In the entire Li Kingdom, only A Bao's Satin Village has this kind of Tianshuibi, and they can only get a dozen of them a year. Although the price of one Tianshuibi can match the annual income of a third-grade official, but
There has always been a price market and it is very popular.
Tianshuibi is so precious, so Mrs. Mei and Sun Yang, who used to run Tianshuibi, have always been honored guests of the silk and satin shop. They lived in the silk and satin shop, but they did not expect that there would be a "riot" in Rao's country and a traitor would reveal Mrs. Mei's identity.
As soon as this happened, Tian Shuibi's business fell into the hands of others, and according to Shangguan Yu's understanding, the merchant this time may be the owner behind Mrs. Mei. It is said that now in the capital, Foxiao can compete with the world for a place.
Tang, he is also from that boss.[
As soon as Shangguan Yu got the news, he could only be described as shocked. The four major families have monopolized the capital's economy for so many years. When did such a force quietly arise in the capital? If it hadn't been for Mrs. Mei's incident that shocked him.
I woke up and sent someone to investigate. I don't know how long this so-called boss will hide.
When Shangguan Yu thought that even Queen Rao Guo was just a distributor of this employer, he couldn't even imagine the identity of this person!
After listening to Shangguan Yu's words, Abao's handsome face became serious.
No wonder Shangguan Yu was so anxious to find him. This matter is really not trivial. I always thought that the economy monopolized by the four major families and the imperial court were monolithic. When did someone sneak in quietly? Who is this boss behind the scenes?
"In that case, I will go with Uncle Shangguan to meet this mysterious person. I also want to know who this person is!" Abao's curiosity was also aroused.
Shangguan Yu nodded.
Half an hour later, Shangguan Yu took A Bao out of Shangguan Mansion and went to Buddha Laughter Hall.
After Chu Yiqing's Tiandijian opened in the capital, it directly merged with the Hao Lian family's restaurant business. In the first few years, it was extremely prosperous. If the nobles in the capital have not been to Tiandijian, they cannot be called Xun.
Being expensive means people will laugh at it, but in the past two years, with the emergence of Buddha Laughter Hall, it has carved up one-third of the market in the world, and is especially popular among the elderly.
It is said that the third floor of Foxiao Hall has been reserved by a guest official for many years. This time, Shangguan Yu and Abao were taken to the third floor by the waiter.
It turned out that the person who booked the third floor was the owner of Fo Xiaotang! Shangguan Yu and Abao exchanged a look, and the two of them were even more curious about this mysterious businessman.
"Two guests, please come inside!" The shopkeeper of Fo Xiaotang personally led the two people to the third floor, then pointed to a gorgeously decorated door and said, "The guests are waiting inside!"
Shangguan Yu nodded towards the shopkeeper and stepped forward to open the door.
As the door opened, a thin figure turned around. Behind that person was the backyard of Foxiao Hall, facing the rockery. At this moment, a mist rose for some reason on the rockery, and the figure became more and more visible in the curling mist.
Appearing dusty and misty.
The ethereal feeling of the man in the mist only increased Shangguan Yu and Abao's curiosity about this man. The two of them entered the room almost at the same time.
It was at this moment that Shangguan Yu and Abao saw clearly the appearance of this mysterious owner.[
At the age of fourteen or fifteen, his green robe touches the floor, and his wide-brimmed belt with silver wire tightly ties his thin waist. Long tassels hang down his waist, his sleeves hang down, and his hair is tied up with white jade hairpins. His cuffs and collar are
The tiny pearls here and there accentuate the beauty of the face and make it sparkle.
As a man, he is indeed a little thinner and more delicate, but if a woman is disguised as a man, such a dress is just right.
With just one glance, Shangguan Yu could tell that this person was a woman disguised as a man.
Abao didn't seem to expect that this mysterious boss was such a young "gongzi". He clasped his fists and said, "Young master is Mr. Yan Jiuyan?"
The "young master" also stood up, clasped his fists, exposed his snow-white arms, and said with a smile: "That's right of you. Which of you is the boss of Shangguan?"
Shangguan Yu said calmly: "I am!"
Yan Jiu immediately clasped his fists towards Shangguan Yu again, "I've heard about Boss Shangguan's name for a long time, and I've always wanted to go and meet him, but I never had the chance. I didn't expect to see you today. I'm so glad to meet you!"
Shangguan Yu smiled faintly, pointed at Abao and said, "This is my nephew. His name is Yi, which is the person you want to see!"
Yan Jiu was stunned, and immediately looked at Abao and said happily: "So you are the beloved disciple of the famous ghost doctor, disrespectful!"
Shangguan Yu only knew that this person asked to see Ah Bao, and thought that this person knew Ah Bao's identity and what he wanted to spy on. Now that he saw that she seemed more interested in the ghost doctor, he became even more confused.
"Please sit down, both of you!" Yan Jiu asked them to sit down, pointed at the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "I know that Boss Shangguan is also one of the bosses in the world. He has tasted all the delicacies in the world, but I didn't know that this kind of dish only uses vegetarian dishes.
Does the delicacy cooked with tofu meet the taste of Boss Shangguan?"
Shangguan Yu said with a smile: "Young Master Yan, you don't have to be polite. We are here this time to talk about Tian Shui Bi!"
Yan Jiu smiled and said: "Boss Shangguan is really quick to talk, I admire you. In fact, my request is very simple. Tianshui Bi's business can continue as usual, but I only have one condition!"
Shangguan Yu and Abao both listened attentively.
"I would like to ask the ghost doctor to accompany me to treat a person. This person currently lives in Luo Country!" Yan Jiu said solemnly.
Shangguan Yu was startled, and now he understood the reason why Yan Jiu had to see A Bao. He thought that shopkeeper Sun had told Mrs. Yan Jiu Mei that he had a seriously ill relative at home, so he made such a condition. It was just that
I'm afraid that this is just a superficial reason, if this person comes for Lei Lei openly, but secretly for Abao's identity...
Shangguan Yu looked at A Bao. The two of them had the same concerns. Besides, now that Lei Lei has become a wife slave and a girl slave, he couldn't bear to leave the prince's palace for a moment. It would be too difficult for him to go to Luo Kingdom.
Even he wasn't sure.
"I know this matter is a bit embarrassing, but my relative is very seriously ill. Over the years, I have visited famous doctors everywhere, and then I found out about the ghost doctor, so I ask you two to help. If you two can help,
In this matter, I can give you 20% of the profit from Tian Shuibi's business!" Yan Jiu clasped his fists and said sincerely again.
Abao and Shangguan Yu exchanged a quick glance and agreed to a 20% profit, which was worth approximately four to fifty thousand taels of silver. Who was this Yan Jiu trying to save? Why did he live in Luo Country?
Abao was confused but his expression remained unchanged. He said quietly: "We have to go back and discuss this matter!"
An anxious look appeared on Yan Jiu's face immediately, and he said again: "Are you two dissatisfied with this condition? You two have other conditions, you can bring them up for discussion!"
"We have seen Mr. Yan's sincerity, but my master has retired from the world a long time ago. What's more, it is not convenient to go to Luo State to practice medicine this time. I will report this matter back to my master after discussing it before giving you an answer.
!" Abao said quietly.
Yan Jiuyi was startled, but he quickly reacted and whispered: "I was too anxious. I'm really sorry. In that case, I will just wait for the good news from you two in the Foxiao Hall!"
Abao and Shangguanyu nodded, and then took their leave.
Yan Jiu's personal attendant sent the two of them out, then stood respectfully and watched them leave.
"superior
Uncle Guan, what do you think?" On the way back, Abao looked at Shangguan Yu, wanting to hear his opinion.
"That's a woman!" Shangguan Yu revealed Yan Jiu's identity with one word, "Such a young woman, I'm afraid she's not the real Yan Jiu!"
"Ah?" Abao was stunned for a moment. He only thought that the young man's red lips and white teeth were too good-looking, but he never expected that he was actually a man disguised as a woman.
"Although this woman is very skilled at disguising herself as a woman, I am an old Jianghu, and I can tell at a glance!" Shangguan Yu frowned, "If this woman is not the real Yan Jiu, then who is the real Yan Jiu? This
What is the purpose of the woman pretending to be Yan Jiu? Is she really asking the ghost doctor to save people?"
Abao whispered: "I just saw her speaking sincerely and her eyes candidly. She didn't mean to lie!"
"The most important thing is that you are involved. You are the future prince. What if they target you?" This time, Shangguan Yu was also a little undecided.
"Let's wait and see. The woman's expression seems to be very anxious. If we don't do anything, she might have other moves!" Abao whispered.
Shangguan Yu nodded, "This is the only way!"
Abao nodded.
At this moment, in Foxiao Hall, after Shangguan Yu and Abao left, Yan Guan, whose pseudonym was Yan Jiu, sat down worriedly.
When the attendant came in, Yan Wan raised his eyes and asked, "Can I see you off?"
The attendant nodded and asked in a low voice: "It was not like the calm and self-possessed young lady just now. The young lady took the initiative to lower the price. Her intention was too obvious!"
Yan Wan was startled, raised his eyes and asked, "Is it obvious?"
The attendant nodded.
Yan Wan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I have been outside under the pseudonym Yan Jiu for so many years just to cure my brother's illness. Now that I finally found the ghost doctor, I can't help but feel angry!"
"Miss, you are too worried about the young master!" Cai Li looked at the woman's beautiful face and couldn't help but sigh quietly, "The young lady left home when she was twelve years old and visited famous doctors for the young master. For those precious medicinal materials, even men
Disguised as a woman to do business, the world would never imagine that the famous Mr. Yan Jiu is actually a young lady, it is really hard work for a young lady!"
Yan Wan sighed.
"The young lady has been smart since she was a child, but it's a pity that she was born a girl. If the young lady were a man, the Prince Rong's Palace would not be in decline like it is now, and the young lady would have to go around to make money to buy the 'medicine' for the young master!" The attendant hesitated for a moment, and then
Said: "Miss, the nephew of the Shangguan boss just now doesn't look like an ordinary person!"
Yan Wan was stunned. She knew that Cai Li had followed her father in the martial arts world a few years ago, and there was no mistaking the number of people he read. Just now, she was only concerned about the ghost doctor, and didn't take a good look at the man.
Young gentleman.
"I have asked people to follow those two people to see where they are staying. Judging from my humble position, Miss Cai was so anxious just now, and the two of them are probably becoming more and more calm!" Cai Li said again.
Yan Wan sighed quietly and said: "I was reckless. After so many years of being out, I actually lost consideration of the most important things!"
