On the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Marquis Ning's fiftieth birthday, because of his relationship with Mrs. Li, invitations were sent to Li's residence early.On the second day, Mrs. Li packed up and took the three children to the Hou Mansion, and the group was brought into the backyard.

At this time, several wives had already arrived, sitting in the backyard and chatting about family affairs.Mrs. Ninghou was naturally happy to see Mrs. Li bringing the child. "My sister is here today. The last time I saw you was when your Lord Li was promoted. It has been two months since I received a post from you saying that I want to come and have a look. You really have to visit my sister since you are a lady minister, right? "

Mrs. Li hurriedly sat next to Mrs. Ninghou, and said, "Sister, what's the matter? Did my mother hire me to be educated for the past two months? I have been busy with Yiyi to learn the rules for the past two months. Don't take advantage of today's Hou It's my birthday, come and see my sister." After saying that, she signaled the girl behind her to take out a box and gave it to Mrs. Ninghou. "This is the Jade Avalokitesvara that my mother asked for after living in Yuanyin Temple for a month. This jade is of good quality, and the Avalokitesvara is also carved meticulously. The abbot of Yuanyin Temple personally opened the light at the Buddhist recess. The red thread through the Avalokitesvara My mother rubbed it with her own hands in front of the Buddha, there are nine strands in total, this Guanyin is for the son, to keep you safe."

Mrs. Li's mother paid respects to the Buddha. Mrs. Ninghou knew that the things were made with real heart when she saw them. She didn't put away the things, and said directly: "It's already costed to come here to celebrate my birthday. What are you doing with these things?" Then she said to the maid: "Go to the courtyard and call the son, and tell him that Aunt Li has brought a gift, and ask him to come out and try."

Turning around, the wives chatted together, and Xie Xuan took Li Zhiyuan aside, feeling a little embarrassed.Fortunately, Lu Tan came quickly, before a few people said a few words, Lu Tan came to a group of people.

"Mother, aunt." Lu Tan greeted the two of them.

"Come here and have a look, this is the Guanyin that your aunt begged for you. I see that you are so noisy all day long. It's really good to bring one with you." Madam Lu took the Guanyin out of the box and gave it to her personally. Lu Tan put it on, "It's just right and looks good, thank you, auntie."

After hearing what his mother had said, Lu Tan turned around to thank Mrs. Li, and then said that he would take Li Zhiyuan and Xie Xuan to the backyard to play, but Mrs. Li was worried that there was no place to put the two children, so she agreed.

Lu Tan's well-behaved appearance didn't last long. Once he left Mrs. Lu's sight, he became the young master again. However, Young Master Lu didn't take the two of them to the backyard to play, but got into the carriage and left the house through the back door. on the street.Li Zhiyuan didn't know where to go, he lifted the curtains and looked out all the way.

"What does it mean that the son brought you out today?" The carriage did not go fast, which meant that it had not left the city. Xie Xuan probably knew where Lu Tan was going to take him through the curtain that Li Zhiyuan opened.

"Brother Lu, why did you change it to Shizi again? Brother Xie, oh, I see. You know where I'm going to take you, don't you?"

With a dark face, Xie Xuan said: "If it's just the two of us, that's all. What are you doing with Xiaoyuan? He's only eight years old."

"What happened when I was eight years old? When I was eight years old, Momo, who was in charge, had already told me about Fengyue."

"No." Xie Xuan said with a cold face, "Xiaoyuan can't be allowed to touch those things. If Shizi likes it, he can go up by himself later. Xiaoyuan and I will wait downstairs for Shizi."

Seeing that Xie Xuan was so serious, Lu Tan couldn't help laughing: "I'm just taking you to Qing|lou, why are you angry with me like this? How do you protect that child like a son? Come on, don't worry, today Bringing you here is for business, and you will know in a while."

When Lu Tan said so, Xie Xuan stopped pestering her.It was still the same backyard, and he was still taken into the same box, but this time when he entered, the window facing the stands was closed.Lu Tan took the two of them to their seats, and greeted them with some food and wine.

"I don't know why the prince brought me up here twice?" Xie Xuan took Li Zhiyuan to sit beside him, Li Zhiyuan was greedy, and salivated when he saw the table full of food.Xie Xuan helped him clean his chopsticks and served him some vegetables.

"Xie Xuan, I'll ask someone to open the window. Take a look outside. If you can tell me something, I'll tell you." Lu Tan closed the door, waved his hand, and the emissary who was standing on the side opened the door. The window of the stage.

Xie Xuan didn't know what Lu Tan was selling, so naturally he didn't dare to let go of a single detail.It was the afternoon at this time, and there were not many guests in this building, except for some dandies who had lived in brothels for many years, the rest were women in the building, and their clothes were not as revealing as usual, but there were two more people. Feel free.

Lu Tan said to let Xie Xuan take a look, but it was really just a look.As soon as Xie Xuan finished sweeping around, the emissary closed the window.

Lu Tan looked at Xie Xuan, smiled without saying a word.

Xie Xuan thought about it silently, stared at Lu Tan, and said uncertainly: "The dresses and headgears of these women seem to be different from those of Daqi, but they are not from southern Xinjiang, barbarians and other countries that are adjacent to Daqi. See below Shallow, please enlighten me."

Lu Tan laughed: "I can see the clue at a glance. I am sure you are right. You are right, but not all right. Their clothes and headgears are all modified. Not only these, but also the The balm, the decoration in this store, and the meals on the table are all imported from foreign countries, integrated into the characteristics of Daqi, so it is easier for people to accept."

"Brother Lu, you mean this store is unique?"

"Yes, and no. This Qiaoyu Building is the most popular building on Liudi Street. The beauty of the women in this building is one reason, and the novelty of this store is another reason. Once this business is good, it will definitely attract people. Other shops are vying to imitate, but it is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger, and the fakes are always fakes. So some people in the market pay high prices for these things, but..."

"But these things are not so easy to buy, or the people who sell these things have some status in Beijing, so it is not convenient to start these businesses. Although there are sources of goods, the business done underground is always not as good-looking as it is on the surface. Naturally, the supply exceeds demand. Cause some people's dissatisfaction, and if things go on like this, it will be like ruining your own fortune. So now the son wants to bring this business to the public?"

"Smart. You can only earn the money of this street down there, but you can earn the money of the entire capital above." Lu Tan sipped his tea and praised.

"What does that have to do with me?" Xie Xuan didn't know.

"If you want to bring your business to the public, you need to talk about it. Cangzhou is adjacent to southern Xinjiang. If a rich man sells his ancestral property and brings his unique craftsmanship to Beijing, it will be the best."

"Then why must it be me?" Xie Xuan still did not give up on pressing the question. Ning Hou has a lot of power in the capital. If he wants to support someone around him to do such a thing, it is naturally easier, and he is just a person who has not entered the capital. A four-month-old boy.

"I didn't choose you, it was this road that chose you. Brother Xie, fortunately, the pearl in the Bodhi Temple, Yuyuelongmen Tianxia Consciousness, it is God's will, I chose you."
