After taking the gifts from him, these children felt much closer to Wen Qi. Wen Qi then ordered the guards to buy all these things and took out one of them to play with them.
"How to play this?" "Have you never played before? Like this, turn it over, insert this small wooden stick, turn it a few times, and it's done." "Oh! They bumped into each other, haha, yours was knocked over.
"It's gone." "Look, I'll hit you again!" They played together happily.
"Does Wen Qi have good communication skills and can quickly get along with strangers around him? Or does he just not care about money? In other words, is this a righteousness to spread wealth or a young master who spends money?" Yun stood aside and watched this scene from beginning to end.
Xi thought uncertainly.
"Your Majesty, do you want to disperse the children around the Third Young Master?" Li Bo asked.
"It's just a few kids, can they be assassins? No need." Yunxi, who was still observing Wen Qi, naturally disagreed.
Yunxi continued to observe for a while. Suddenly Wen Yuan also walked up to Wen Qi and whispered something to him. Wen Qi pointed to a few things on the stall. Wen Yuan turned his head and said something to the guard. The guard took the
They paid for all the things Wen Qi pointed out just now. But Wen Yuan did not play with them, but turned around and went to the bookstore again.
Yunxi was a little confused and was thinking about whether to ask when a voice suddenly came from the front: "Come here quickly! Come here quickly! There's a lot of fun!" Looking up, he saw two children who were only seven or eight years old standing there.
Saying hello loudly on the street.
Hearing what these two children said, the group of children who were playing with Wen Qi just now put away their toys and ran over there. Wen Qi also wanted to follow, but the guard saw that they had already turned around and walked across the street in the blink of an eye.
, fearing danger, stopped him.
Seeing that the guard wouldn't let him follow, Wen Qi turned his eyes and ran to Yunxi and said, "Dad, I also want to see the excitement."
"What's the excitement?"
"They said that there is a family in the village who married into a high-ranking official's family and became a young lady. They are wearing silk and satin all over the body. They are very rich. They all want to go and see it. I also want to see how rich it is."
Yunxi was amused: "What's so good about this? Maybe that person's clothes are not as valuable as yours. Our family is the richest in the world. Is there any other family that is richer than ours?"'
Even if there is a really rich family with better food, clothing and enjoyment than the emperor, not to mention whether they dare to show off in the capital, even if they dare to show off, they cannot marry the daughter of a family from such a common people's place.' Yunxi added in his heart.
.
"Is our family very rich?" Wen Qi only knew that they were the royal family. According to the words of the palace maid who took care of him, they were "the most noble family in the world." But to what extent were they noble? What was the difference between them and ordinary people?
I only stayed with my uncles, uncles and brothers from the royal family, so I don’t know much about it.
"Of course our family is rich. However, the royal money belongs not only to the royal family, but also to the court. It cannot be spent casually like other people." Yunxi explained a few words and then said: "Our family is also the most noble in the world.
People, except for people in our family, including your uncles, uncles, brothers and sisters from various families, the rest of the people have a lower status than you." Yunxi pointed to the people on both sides of the road: "If we are Liangming
When you walk here with your identity, everyone around you must salute you."
"Ah, I thought only servants should salute their masters, and juniors should salute their elders. They are not servants of our family, so they also need to salute?" Wen Qi asked in surprise.
"This," Yunxi thought for a moment, then said, "People with low status must bow to people with high status. Our family has the highest status in the world, so everyone must bow to our family members."
"Doesn't that mean they are just like servants to our family?" Wen Qi asked again.
"It can't be compared like this," Yunxi couldn't let him have the same concept as ordinary people and royal servants, so he immediately said: "It's similar to the difference between juniors and elders."
Wen Qi asked a few more questions, and Yun Xi answered them one by one. Wen Qi was about to ask again when Wen Yuan came over, bowed slightly to Yun Xi, and then said to Wen Qi: "Third brother, these things will happen after we get back."
Let me ask again, my father took us out today to see how the people are living, or to take a closer look before going back."
Wen Qi didn't ask anymore after hearing this, but smiled and said to Wen Yuan: "Second brother, you don't pay much attention to how the people are living their lives. I see that you have been wandering around the bookstore."
Wenyuan's face turned a little red and he argued: "There are many people in the bookstore. By talking to them, doesn't it mean that we can learn about the life of the common people?"
"How many people are there in the bookstore? There are not as many children as playing with me." Wen Qi said.
At this time, Wen Yao had reached the end of the street and turned to look at Yun Hei, as if asking him if he should turn back with his eyes. Yun Hei stopped Wen Yuan and Wen Qi's argument and led the two of them away.
passed.
Wen Yao happened to be standing at the door of a jewelry store. Yun Hei's heart moved. Xiyao's figure flashed in front of his eyes and he walked into the store. Wen Yao and the others hurriedly followed.
The shop didn't look big from the outside, but it was deep inside and was divided into left and right sides. Yunxi saw that there were only men on one side and only women talking and laughing on the other side. He immediately understood that it was divided into two parts: men and women.
Partly, I secretly said that this store is very thoughtful.
At this time, I saw that the waiter at the counter had just finished serving a man who came alone. When he looked up, he saw seven or eight people like Yunxi and three children walking in. He was surprised, but he didn't show it at all on his face and asked respectfully.
: "What do you want to buy, Master?"
"Are there any new jewelry designs?" Yunxi asked while looking at them.
"What kind of pattern do you want?"
"No matter what the pattern is, as long as it looks new." Yunxi didn't know anything about jewelry, so he could only buy it according to Yunzhi's method.
The clerk stopped talking nonsense, took out a few bracelets and said, "Sir, these are the new patterns made by the masters in our shop. Take a look."
"But no one has done it before?"
"Here, sir, there are tens of thousands of jewelry masters in the world. I dare not say this for sure, saying that no one has ever made such a pattern. But at least there must be no shop in the capital selling jewelry with this pattern before March.
."
"You're a very honest fellow." Yunxi smiled and said, "Put it all on."
"Okay!" the waiter agreed, wrapped up all the pairs of bracelets, and said, "Sir, thanks for your patronage, the total is thirty-five guan."
Yun He ordered the guards to pay. Li Bo took out more than a hundred silver coins, but it was not enough, and he was unwilling to share it with others. He dug around in his pocket and took out five silver coins and put them on the table. That was enough.
The clerk picked up the silver coin very curiously, looked at it as if he had never seen it before, and said to himself: "It turns out that the silver coins issued by the imperial court look like this."
"Are you the new guy in this shop? The imperial court issued gold and silver coins in April and May last year. Why have you never seen them?" Yunxi asked.
"To be honest, sir, I am indeed a new employee in this shop. However, I have been here for three months, and this is the first time I have seen someone paying with silver coins."
"You do a lot of business here, but you haven't seen silver coins in three months?" Yunxi was surprised. This place is close to the residence of the Jingwei soldiers, so it stands to reason that there should be many people coming to spend silver coins.
"Sir, although the imperial court has issued gold and silver coins, they are only issued to officials with their salaries. How can ordinary people see them? Moreover, these silver coins are exquisitely made and are guaranteed to be pure silver. Although they are lighter, they are also popular.
Even ordinary officials don't spend money on goods easily. They spend precious coins, copper coins and silver, so the small ones are rarely seen."
Yunxi nodded without saying anything else. He picked up the wrapped bracelet from the table, but hesitated and did not leave immediately. He even glanced at Wenyuan and the three of them.
At this moment, Wenyuan suddenly said: "Does your store have smaller items, such as finger rings, jade pendants, etc.? The patterns must be fresh."
The clerk looked up at Yunxi, who signaled him to answer Wenyuan's words. The clerk then lowered his head and said, "Young Master, we have some in our shop." After saying that, he took out a few more finger wrenches.
Wenyuan asked the guard to take off the ring, looked at it himself, and then raised the ring to look at Yunxi. Yunxi smiled at him, but had no intention of taking it. Wenyuan thought for a while, counted nine, and said
The boy said: "Wrap these nine."
Seeing Wen Yuan's movements, Wen Yao seemed to have thought of something, and told the waiter that he wanted to see the new earrings. Wen Yuan gently pushed Wen Qi and whispered something in his ear, Wen Qi
I was also busy looking at the jewelry. The clerk complained in his heart: Since you want so many varieties, wouldn’t it be convenient to just tell them all at once? You have to give orders one by one. But after all, you get a commission when the goods are sold from your own hands, and the person in front of you must also
They both had the willingness to buy and the ability to pay, so with a smile on their faces, they took out a few pairs of earrings and jade pendants. Wen Yao and Wen Qi picked some and bought them respectively.
After leaving the door of the shop, Wenyuan suddenly thought of something and asked Yunxi nervously: "What if these jewelry are not pleasing to the eye? Let the masters come out and replace them with flattering ones? This will be a bit troublesome.
Already."
"Don't worry, Wenyuan, as long as it's something you buy back, your family will definitely like it," Yunxi said.
Turning around the street, my ears suddenly became much quieter, as if I had crossed the border between two worlds. The Ming Dynasty implemented the lifang system, and business could only be done on specific streets. Although in other places, people often opened small shops without authorization in violation of the regulations, but
No one dares to open a big shop, and even a small shop does not dare to do business openly and only in these few streets. It is afternoon time again, and ordinary people are working outside to make money, so it is very quiet.
