Royal Gold Magistrate

As soon as Chen Siwu blurted out these words, Xie Xian immediately stared at him.

Not far away, a tall and handsome young man was approaching with his arms around the maid and making fun of him.

The other hand is still holding a fan, fanning the wind non-stop, and a poem is written on the fan.

Just looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like a merchant, but looks like a scholar.

This person was one of the people on the initial investigation list.

Haiyuan City, Du Lingfeng!

"Treasurer Chen, you can show me something. Are you sure this person is the salt dealer you met with the shopkeeper Sun's business?"

Chen Siwu stopped eating at this time and squinted at Du Lingfeng.

"No mistake! I am very impressed with him!"

"The housekeeper of the Sun family has never been so polite to anyone, it must be him!"

Xie Xian nodded solemnly: "Well, good! You can eat first, and you don't need to worry about the rest. If someone mentions any expenses, just say it will be charged to my account."

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked towards Du Lingfeng.

Without hesitation, Xie Xian walked up to Du Lingfeng and cupped his hands.

Du Lingfeng, who was still flirting with the maid with his arms around him, suddenly froze when he saw someone coming to bow to him.

Puzzled: "What is this brother doing?"

"Xie Xian, I am the shopkeeper of Fenghualou."

Du Lingfeng looked him up and down, and briefly recalled it.

He has memories of Xie Xian. Although he has never seen it with his own eyes, he has heard of it more or less as a frequent visitor of Fenghualou.

What did he want to come to see him suddenly?

Du Lingfeng became a little vigilant, pushed away the maid in his arms, and said back to Xie Xian: "So it's shopkeeper Xie, I've admired you for a long time! A certain name is Du Lingfeng."

"I don't know what is the job of thanking the shopkeeper?"

Xie Xian smiled slightly: "Brother Du, don't worry too much, Xie has no other intentions."

"I just heard that Brother Du is a frequent visitor of my Fenghualou, but I heard from the buddy that I have never been a member here, so I want to ask Brother Du, is there anything wrong with my Fenghualou?"

Du Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "So that's how it is!"

"Thank you shopkeeper for worrying too much! Fenghualou really opened Du's eyes! It can be said that he feels at home, and there is nothing dissatisfied."

"It's just that I'm not from Jianjiang, so I won't stay here for a long time, maybe I'll leave after a while."

Xie Xian bowed his head and pondered for a moment, "regret" said: "So, it's a pity that brother Du can't stay in Jianjiang for a long time."

"I see Brother Du's attire, could it be that he is a scholar? There are few scholars in Fenghua Building."

Although Fenghualou is a romantic place, the consumption is too high, and few scholars come here.

Ordinary scholars can't afford it, those with official status are afraid to come, and those with background are also very cautious because of the new official appointment.

Speaking of scholars, Du Lingfeng's face clearly revealed a trace of pride.

"Haha, shopkeeper thank you for being polite. Du is just a down-and-out scholar, and now he is doing some fur business."

What a reader!It's rare to go into business!

A trace of disappointment flashed across Xie Xian's face: "Oh, that's it, so don't bother Brother Du any more."

Seeing his expression, Du Lingfeng suddenly felt his self-esteem being stabbed, and repeatedly called out to Xie Xian who had already turned around.

Slightly displeased, he said, "Thank you shopkeeper, what do you mean?"

Xie Xian turned his head and smiled wryly: "To tell you the truth, I'm Jinghe's Juren for eight years. Just now I saw that Brother Du has a scholarly temperament, so I couldn't help but come up to talk to me."

"I heard from my own mouth that brother Du is a scholar and a businessman... but Xie was rude."

"The same people who have fallen in the end of the world, why should we have known each other before?"

Du Lingfeng was taken aback by the bitterness on Xie Xian's face, and he murmured: "We are both fallen in the world, so why should we know each other when we meet again... Good poetry, good poetry..."

This shopkeeper Xie is a man with a story!

Who can know the pain in the heart when the scholar becomes a businessman?

Not only was he looked down upon by other scholars, but he was also looked down upon by other merchants. It can be said that he could not get involved in both sides.

Now the shopkeeper Xie in front of him is actually the same kind of person as himself, and he is still a Juren!

That's a wonder!

Xie Xian turned around to leave again, Du Lingfeng quickly grabbed Xie Xian, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xie, please stay! Brother Xie is very talented! Can I talk to you next time?"

Xie Xian looked back at him again, nodded hesitantly.

Then he found a nearby seat and sat down. Du Lingfeng immediately sat across from him, and asked without hesitation: "Brother Xie, since you are a Juren, why do you do business here?"

Xie Xian closed his eyes, shook his head lightly, and recalled painfully: "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of brother Du's jokes. Although I was a Juren, I was poor since I was a child, and I was bullied by the squire. There are also strong people. With nowhere to go, they came to Jianjiang to start a business. People are in the rivers and lakes, they can’t help themselves! Hey~"

Um?Well said, well said!

Du Lingfeng sighed: "Brother Xie, it really makes me feel the same way. People are in the Jianghu, and they can't help themselves. It's really good words!"

"However, I'm different from Brother Xie. I really can't pass the Juren exam...but I want to be rich in the world, so I can only be a merchant."

"The song you just said, is there a complete song for the same person who has fallen in the end of the world?"

"With all due respect, it's a pity to do business with brother Xie's poetic talent!"

"If the entire poem can be passed on, it will surely be famous all over the world!"

How the hell do I know what the whole article is?It's all what the master said!

The master writes poems line by line, and I don't know where he copied them from.

Just copy it, I don’t know how to copy it completely!

It can be seen that I was not very good at studying since I was a child. I asked him twice how much he bought it for Jinshi and he didn't tell me...

Go back and ask again!

Xie Xian complained in his heart, and he still had to deal with Du Lingfeng: "To be honest, Xie only met an old friend by chance at the beginning. After drinking, he had a feeling and had a flash of inspiration. After waking up, it was difficult to continue, so That's all there is to it."

Du Lingfeng regretted immediately: "So that's the case, that's really a pity."

"I didn't expect that there are people in Jianjiang City who have experienced the same situation as me. It is a blessing to see brother Xie today."

"But brother Xie is a juren, I'm just a little show..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Xian stared at him: "Brother Du! You and I are both degenerates, do you want to talk about the difference between superior and inferior?"

"Things from the early years have long since vanished as far as I'm concerned...Since I see brother Du today, why don't we have a chat with me?"

Du Lingfeng blinked, a little surprised.

I didn't expect that shopkeeper Xie is still a soft-tempered person!

He patted the table and said cheerfully: "Okay! It's a blessing to see brother Xie today, but it's not suitable for brother Xie to be the host, why not let me be the host!"

Xie Xian showed a smile on his face: "Brother Du forgot? This Fenghualou is all about Xie talking, so there is no reason for you to spend money!"

"Come here! Good wine and good food are served!"
