Zhao Rong didn't find much he wanted to buy in the busy streets outside Linlu Academy.
Qingjun and Qianer like to eat green plums, grapes and other fruits that are not in season at this time.
Well, Zhao Rong also likes to eat, especially the latter. When he was a child, they would skin him and feed him...
At the busy intersection, Zhao Rong smiled and touched his sleeve and pulled out a small brass bell.
When he was sorting things out in the morning, he deliberately dug them out from the clutter in Xumi's belongings.
Well, it has been idle for a long time, and I don’t know if it is still useful.
In other words, if it hasn’t been used for a few months, has Chen Kee Car and Horse Shop gone away? The building is empty or something like that.
Ahem, he has applied for a card.
Zhao Rong's hand holding the brass bell shook slightly.
Ding bell————!
Think of that short-haired girl with a bright smile and hard work.
Zhao Rong smiled.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
A rather familiar carriage pulled by blood-red horses gradually appeared in Zhao Rong's field of vision.
As the clatter of horse hooves got louder, there was a loud sound of driving.
The carriage stopped on the road in front of Zhao Rong.
"You are... Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao?"
A clear and gentle voice came with a tentative tone.
Zhao Rong glanced at Lu Wan, who was sitting on the carriage with the reins in his hand.
I haven't seen her for a few months. She still seems to have short hair, rough wheat-colored skin, clear eyes, and has not changed much.
But at this time, in Lu Wan's eyes, Zhao Rong had indeed changed a lot.
She couldn't help but glance at him a few times.
Although he has matured a bit and no longer has the same feeling of hard work as when he came all the way to Duyou City, he seems to be less bookish, more refined, and full of energy.
Well, Mr. Zhao's eyes are still very bright. When people talk to him, they can't help but look at them.
And... he actually entered Linlu Academy? Almost all the people who can study there are noble...
"That's right, I didn't expect Miss Lu to still remember me." Zhao Rong handed over the glazed crystal card, rolled up his clothes, and stepped onto the carriage.
"Young Master is a generous and noble man, how could you forget that the little girl's memory is not that bad." Lu Wan wiped the sweat with the sweat towel on her neck and smiled brightly.
Zhao Rong blinked.
How do you feel? The generosity you say means that you are a big dog...
Lu Wan pulled the reins and turned the carriage around. During the movement, he couldn't help but glance at the student Qing Jin on Zhao Rong's body, and then glanced at the ancient academy building not far away.
Zhao Rong turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window and said without looking back: "I am studying at Mochi Academy."
Lu Wan nodded calmly.
"Where are you going, young master?" she said with a smile.
"Let's go to Duyou West City first. I have some things to buy. If you have nothing to do, you can wait for me and finally send me to Taiqing Mansion."
"okay."
Lu Wan manipulated Liuli, deducted the fare, turned around, and handed it back to Zhao Rong with both hands.
Zhao Rong thanked him and took it with both hands.
Just as the carriage was on the road, Zhao Rong suddenly said: "Miss Lu, Xiaoxiao... um, has that Miss Su contacted you?"
Lu Wan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and shook his head, "Not so far. Don't worry, sir, I still remember what you and your Miss Su agreed on at the beginning. If she comes to me with anything, she will definitely come to the academy to inform you as soon as possible.
"
Hearing this, Zhao Rong pondered for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief.
The only thing that got along with Xiao Xiaoxiao at the beginning was that after he became an academician, he went to find her and meet her grandma in a dignified manner.
However, I didn’t know the specific situation of the academy at the beginning. At this time, it seems that Zhao Rong will still study in Mochi Academy for more than half a year.
He couldn't wait any longer... Well, let's wait until the Great Li exam is over.
Zhao Rong thought for a moment and then warned.
"Miss Lu, I need to go down the mountain in a few days. If something happens and I'm not here, just ask the concierge to send a message to Dongli Xiaozhu in Nanxuan Academy. I will arrange for someone to take care of you. When the time comes..."
Lu Wan recited Zhao Rong's words in his heart several times, nodded slowly, "Okay, Master."
After Zhao Rong stopped, he couldn't help but repeat it again.
Lu Wan turned around and looked at him seriously, smiled secretly, nodded, and said nothing.
Zhao Rong chattered several times and then stopped angrily.
He covered his mouth with a fist, coughed slightly, and looked at the glass crystal card in his hand that he had forgotten to put away.
Zhao Rong looked as if nothing had happened and said casually:
"Miss Lu, your boss, Chenji Car and Horse Racing, does you have other card application services? By the way, you should get a commission for getting people to apply for cards, right? Is there any other card that I can apply for? I'll upgrade...
…Ahem, I want to pay more spirit stones and get a better card.”
Lu Wan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and shook his head.
"There is indeed a commission, but there are no other cards. We only have this one, which can be used all the time. In this Duyou City, this is the first of its kind by Chen Ji. Other horse and carriage dealers are learning from it. I heard that some shops
I’m also following the trend.”
She sounded a little proud, whipped the bloody BMW, then turned to look serious and said:
"Don't worry, young master, I won't trick you. When we do business, we should be honest and trustworthy."
Zhao Rong looked at the river gradually coming into view outside the window and twitched the corner of his mouth.
Alas, I thought you, Chen Ji, were traveling far ahead of me, but I didn't expect that it was still a narrow road.
Zhao Rong is very familiar with cutting leeks.
Just say this and apply for the card.
How can a simple card application package meet the needs of the majority of leeks?
If Zhao Rong were the owner of Chenji Car and Horse Racing, he would not be able to directly provide a lot of services to 'save money' for customers.
The first thing is to set a time limit for the glass crystal card in your hand. According to the gradient, there are monthly light luxury silver cards, annual luxury gold cards, lifetime supreme crystal cards, etc...
Then there will be a big discount promotion for card applications during the holidays. If there is no holiday, we will create a holiday for them. Otherwise, how can we live up to everyone's enthusiasm for consumption.
Later, I asked my clerks and coachmen to emphasize to the customers that it was the lowest price for card applications in the whole year, and cultivate in them the advanced consumerism concept of "if you don't buy at a discount, you will lose money"...
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, it’s boring.
In Chen Ji's carriage, Zhao Rong, who was worried about the owner of the carriage shop, smiled softly.
Facing Lu Wan's words, he didn't explain much and told her how to do business.
After all, Lu Wan is just a coachman doing hard work.
Besides, Zhao Rong is not interested in teaching people how to do business, but if he is short of money in the future, he can give it a try...
Zhao Ronghu said: "Chongxin? Well, when Miss Lu said this, I felt relieved."
He smiled and said: "Then please trouble Miss Lu and help me apply for ten more cards."
Lu Wan frowned and stopped moving his hands, "Master Zhao, why do you do so much? It's... such a waste of money."
Zhao Rong glanced at her expression.
If I give you money directly as a reward, you won’t accept it 80% of the time.
He complained in his mind.
But he said:
"This is not for my own use. It was entrusted to me by several friends from the academy. Miss Lu's service is very good. I mentioned it to them before. When they heard about it, they slapped their thighs on the spot and said what such a high-quality carriage and horse.
The banker and the groom must take care of the business."
Zhao Rong sighed softly, "At first glance, I was cheated by other horse and carriage dealers in the city. I have been suffering for a long time. Now that I know that there is an honest coachman like Miss Lu, I am asked to apply for the card."
.”
Lu Wan blushed slightly when he heard this, and said in a doubtful tone: "Really, really?"
Zhao Rong nodded seriously.
Lu Wan hesitated, "It's just that these ten are too many..."
Zhao Rong took out ten low-grade spiritual stones and handed them over directly. At the same time, he interrupted: "Miss Lu, please be sure to fulfill the wishes of these close friends. Well, let's write it down later. The first name is Lin Wenruo."
Without thinking, he just opened his mouth.
"The second one is Gu Yiwu."
"The third one is Fan Yushu."
"Oh, okay, sir, please slow down."
Later, Zhao Rong casually reported the names of several friends, but found that there were still a few places missing.
So they also reported the names of Zhu Yourong, Yu Huaijin, Li Xueyou and others.
As for Qingjun and Qianer...
Ahem, Zhao Rong is not that stupid.
Well, anyway, there are only ten low-grade spiritual stones and they are not too expensive.
At least there were not many in the Xianjia Market on the mountain that Zhao Rong had visited before. Even a boat ticket cost him more than a dozen low-grade spiritual stones.
A low-grade spiritual stone is just a basic unit in the transactions between cultivators on the mountain.
However, Zhao Rong looked at Lu Wan's expression and felt that for a mortal, it was probably too much.
In fact, Zhao Rong had a good idea.
At this time, Lu Wan was busy going through the card opening procedure, but the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.
Like Lu Wan, the lower-class mortals who make a living in Duyou City have seen more of the world and have more expenses than the people below the mountain.
However, one spiritual stone is already considered a huge sum of money.
On weekdays, the commission for applying for a card is enough for her and her family to use it for many days.
Lu Wan said in a somewhat anxious tone: "Young Master... Young Master, how about I give you some benefits..."
Zhao Rong waved his hand and said, "No, please don't. Those guys are all rich people. Don't save money for them. You can take as much as you should, otherwise you will look down on them."
Lu Wan: “…………”
She swallowed her words, and then handed ten glazed crystal cards and ten copper bells to Zhao Rong with a smile on her face.
The latter took it and prepared to give it away another day.
Lu Wan carefully put away the ten low-grade spiritual stones and started the carriage again.
She couldn't help but say: "Mr. Zhao, you are like a dragon or a phoenix among people at first sight. You have so many close friends."
Zhao Rong wanted to nod in agreement, but he still took it seriously and said modestly: "It's okay, everyone is giving me face."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned back to look out the window.
A large carriage with a signboard with the word "Chen" on it was driving steadily on the road along the river.
View from the car window.
The sky is high and the river is wide.
Zhao Rong looked far into the distance, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the secluded mountain in Duyouxiong City in the distance, which changed colors every day and wore new clothes every day.
Faintly visible is the outline of the majestic high platform on the top of Youshan Mountain.
Today's Youshan is full of green.
It stands out against the ever-changing yellow-leaf forest outside the city.
It’s like still in the spring breeze of March with fireworks.
Zhao Rong's eyes were full of reminiscence.
When I came all the way to Duyou City, it was in Youshan that I met Qingjun.
That day, the mountains were covered with red clothes, and the sunset on the beach was also...
When Lu Wan was really in a good mood, she couldn't help but look back at "Many Friends" waiting for Zhao Rong.
Discover where his gaze is directed.
Lu Wan took the initiative and said: "Sir, the one on Youshan Mountain is the famous Wangque Terrace. I heard from the older generation that the name of Wangque Continent was derived from the name of the ancient terrace."
Zhao Rong nodded slightly.
But Lu Wan suddenly said again: "Sir, do you know how the name of Wangque Terrace came about?"
Zhao Rong's mind moved slightly and he asked curiously, "What's the point?"
As a native of Duyou City, Lu Wan is very familiar with these nursery rhymes and the stories in the market.
This is why, as a coachman, she often entertains customers by talking to them when carrying passengers.
"Legend has it that a long, long time ago, Wangque Continent was still a barren land, and the ancestors of our human race had just climbed to the top of the Xuanhuang Realm and established their rule in Central Continent."
"Zhongzhou sent a King You to enfeoff in the wild Wangque Continent. Young Master, according to legend, this ancient King You was the nominal owner of the entire Wangque Continent. The land we stand on is his fief.
"
Lu Wan paused, glanced at Zhao Rong, who frowned slightly, and continued:
"And the Duyou City we are in is the place where King You landed when he crossed the sea to this time."
Zhao Rong suddenly answered: "So, the Duyou City under our feet was built by King You in ancient times? It was also the first human habitat in Wangque Continent?"
Lu Wan nodded and said proudly: "Until now, our Duyou City is also the number one city in Wangquezhou."
"I heard that King You climbed Youshan Mountain and looked toward the North Sea to look at Zhongzhou. He missed the palace in his hometown, so he built the Wangque Tower. At the same time, the continent was also named Wangque."
