The emperor's heart alone

Xu Yunjin was not in a hurry to find the amphora, but started shopping in Antique Street. In Antique Street, there was actually Xu Yunjin's shop called Wumingzhai, Wumingming, but it was quite famous in the capital.To the outside world, the owner is Li Dashao, the fifth young master of the capital, but the actual owner is Xu Yunjin.

Wumingzhai is in the middle of the entire antique street, divided into two gates, the north and the south. The south gate is Wuzhai. It sells some popular gadgets, which usually lead the fashion trend in the capital. It is unique here, the north gate is a famous studio, which specializes in selling calligraphy and paintings of famous teachers from ancient to modern times, antiques and famous utensils, and if one is sold seriously, it will be paid back in three years.What makes it famous in the capital is that the things sold by Mingzhai must be authentic, and there are absolutely no fakes. Of course, the value can be imagined.

Such a Wumingzhai only belongs to the son of a mere wealthy businessman, which makes people suspicious, and this suspicion has gradually deepened, until now everyone thinks that the real owner of the Wumingzhai must be someone else. Only a few people know it.

Xu Yunjin wandered around the Antique Street until noon, turned to a restaurant for lunch, and then wandered into Wumingzhai's Mingzhai, ready to pick a pair of amphora for Xu Tao.

Although he opened a well-known antique shop in the capital, Xu Yunjin himself did not understand antiques.He opened Wuzhai because he knew how novelty can attract people's attention. He opened Mingzhai because he knew that no one in this world would not love someone. .

Xu Yunjin picks out antiques, and more often he picks those that are pleasing to the eye, so Xu Yunjin's selection of antiques is not as fast as usual, but after walking around the Mingzhai, Xu Yunjin chose a pair of amphora, Qinghuan Qingpei's witty person carried one to the front to pay the money.

Well, even if Xu Yunjin is the big boss of Wumingzhai, shopping still costs money.Firstly, even the shopkeeper doesn’t know that Xu Yunjin is the big boss, and secondly, Xu Yunjin feels that he should lead by example, but this kind of thinking is not popular. Every shop opened by itself always takes whatever they like. No money is required.

Xu Yunjin's eyes paused next to the pair of amphora, and when he retracted unconsciously, he happened to look at the door. Then Xu Yunjin's eyes changed, from bored to excited, can you not be excited?Xu Yunjin didn't expect to see the person he was most interested in so far twice in the same day.

That's right, it was Shi Junji who came.

Xu Yunjin's gaze is really blatant, and Shi Junji has always been very sensitive to people's gaze, almost as soon as Xu Yunjin's gaze fell on Shi Junji, Shi Junji raised his head to meet Xu Yunjin's gaze, Shi Junji Ji's eyes also showed a hint of surprise.

Xu Yunjin smiled, and walked up to Shi Junji in a few steps: "Brother, it seems that you and I are really a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet twice in one day. Could this be what the Buddhists call fate?"

Before Shi Junji could speak, Jiang Zichun, who was following Shi Junji, yelled loudly: "Xu Ershao, please be respectful, my master, you are the one who can talk to me?" Chun was deeply impressed. Xu Yunjin's reluctance to save the woman was a frenzied act to Jiang Zichun. In Jiang Zichun's view, if Xu Yunjin saved the woman and was afraid of trouble, he could give the woman a sum of money to let her go. She left, is it so difficult to do something that is obviously very simple?In short, it was wrong for Xu Yunjin not to save the woman. Naturally, when he saw Xu Yunjin again at this time, he couldn't hide his angry tone.

Xu Yunjin's complexion obviously became ugly. He, Xu Ershao, has never looked at other people's faces. It seems that no one is qualified to make him compromise except his own family. Now when he meets someone he is interested in, he is naturally full of face. He looks happy, but if he thinks that Xu Ershao can be slaughtered just because of this, is he still Xu Ershao of the fifth young master in the capital?

Xu Yunjin raised his eyebrows, and said with a sneer, "Whose dog is this barking? Don't you know that Wumingzhai doesn't let dogs in?"

"You!" Jiang Zichun blushed and pointed at Xu Yunjin angrily, as if he was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

Xu Yunjin snorted coldly: "What's the matter, Master?" He opened the fan with a "snap" and Jiang Zichun pointed at his finger, mockingly, "I really don't know when dogs can point and bark at people!"

This remark was a little too much, and Shi Junji frowned. In front of Shi Junji, there was no such bitter and mean person. Even if there was, it was absolutely impossible to say such a thing in front of Shi Junji. In other words, even though Shi Jun knew that Xu Yunjin didn't know his identity, it was already a foregone conclusion in his heart that he didn't like Xu Yunjin.

However, it was Jiang Zichun who was at fault first, and Shi Junji couldn't favor him, so he said, "Young master, it was my attendant who was at fault first, so I should have apologized to you, but what you say, son... I think, this time It’s better to let it go.”

Xu Yunjin still has a good impression of Shi Junji, besides, this matter was done by the people around Shi Junji and not Shi Junji, Xu Yunjin is not good at getting angry with Shi Junji, and sighs in his heart, it's a pity that he didn't Being able to make friends with such a person, but things in the world are not as good as they should be. It is just that you have lost a friend you like. Xu Yunjin has never been entangled in these things, even if the person in front of him is really interested: "Since the young master said, Naturally, I have to give you this face, my lord, so let’s forget about it, that’s all.” Xu Yunjin’s gaze turned to Jiang Zichun, who was clearly displeased, “Look, you know me well, if you think about it. Knowing the name of the master in the capital, today is your master who interceded for you, otherwise the master will not let you go! If you are not convinced, go to the Xu mansion to find the master, the master is waiting for you!"

Just as he was talking, Qinghuan Qingpei, who went to pay over there, had already returned holding the amphora, standing behind Xu Yunjin, when he heard Xu Yunjin finished speaking, Qinghuan took a small step forward, and whispered: " Second Young Master, we should go back."

Xu Yunjin said "En", and no longer cared about Jiang Zichun, who was so angry that his whole face was flushed, and put on the smile that he always kept in front of others: "Young master, I have something else to do. Don't stay longer, I will treat you to dinner next time I have a chance."

Shi Junji nodded, seemingly agreeing, but in fact, he never thought of eating at the same table with Xu Yunjin. In Shi Junji's eyes, a vulgar-talking person like Xu Yunjin is naturally unworthy of sitting next to him.

Xu Yunjin finally said goodbye to Shi Junji, and left with Qinghuan Qingpei.

When Xu Yunjin and the others disappeared, Shi Junji said in a thoughtful tone: "If I remember correctly, Xu Tao is one of the most upright officials, even Xu Tao's eldest son, Xu Yunting, is also an upright official. The second young master can actually buy a pair of expensive amphora in this Wumingzhai without changing his face?"

These words were full of majesty and questioning, Jiang Zichun was naturally delighted when he heard this, his father and Xu Tao have always been at odds, now he has the opportunity to discredit the Xu family, so how could he not add something: " Master, the title of upright official is given by people, but who knows how? I know something about Xu Ershao, not to mention a pair of amphora, even ten pairs can afford it! As for this Where does the money come from..."

Zhang Dequan, who was standing on the other side, frowned, and interrupted Jiang Zichun's words bluntly: "Return to master, the slaves have asked people to check the information of the Xu family's second young master yesterday, but the two masters are There is no doubt that the officials are upright, but the money in Xu Ershao's hands comes from living in the east."

"Oh? Donglaiju?" Shi Junji showed obvious curiosity.

"Donglaiju is a well-known restaurant in the capital city. The owner of the restaurant is Xu Ershao, and a large part of Xu's family's expenses comes from the money Xu Ershao earned."

"It's really interesting." Shi Junji squinted his eyes and smiled. To be honest, as an emperor, Shi Junji likes upright officials, but he doesn't like absolute upright officials. Absolutely upright officials are difficult to grasp. Li, who does not seek power, is not greedy for sex, is not greedy for drinking, and is not greedy for gambling, such a person makes Shi Jun extremely uneasy.He had always thought that Xu Tao belonged to that kind of absolutely upright official, but now it seems that he is not entirely so.

Thinking about it this way, Shi Junji actually has a lot of genuine love and respect for Xu Tao, which is a blessing in disguise.but--

"The Xu family has always been a scholarly family. How could they allow Xu Ershao to go into business?" Shi Junji was quite curious. You must know that the status of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen is very low. How could a family like the Xu family allow Xu Ershao? Less businessmen outside?

Zhang Dequan pursed his lips, and said with a smile: "These are all found out by the slaves. Xu Tao and Master Xu didn't know that Xu Ershao was doing business outside, but Xu Yunting did know, but Xu Yunting has always loved Xu Ershao, so..."

"Oh?" Shi Junji chuckled, "The amphora must have been bought and brought home. Could it be that Xu Tao couldn't see the value of the amphora?"

With a smile on Zhang Dequan's face, he said in a low voice: "Although Mr. Xu came from a famous family, he likes these things, but he doesn't know much about them. He never entertained Mr. Xu in the gatherings about antiques held in the capital on weekdays."

——It seems that this may be the reason why Xu Yunjin knows nothing about antiques.

"Xu's mansion is not too small. It must be a lot of daily expenses. Doesn't Xu Tao know that with his salary, it is impossible to have such a life?"

"The men of the Xu family have always ignored the affairs of the mansion, and the wife is in charge of the mansion. Mrs. Xu has always doted on Xu Ershao. She knows something about Xu Ershao's business, but she doesn't know much. She has been helping Xu Ershao to hide Xu Tao. My lord, and Mr. Xu Tao doesn't know that his salary is not enough for expenses at all. Before Xu Ershao started a business, a large part of the family's expenses came from the land rent and accumulated wealth of the Xu family over the past century. After doing business, the income of the Xu family has increased, and gradually the accumulated wealth will no longer be used."

"Master, from my point of view, the facts are more than that. It must be that Xu Ershao relied on the name of Master Xu Tao to do evil in the capital to make money! I..."

"Jiang Shiwei, if my servant remembers correctly, this place is not far from Jiang Mansion, please come back first." Zhang Dequan interrupted Jiang Zichun again, Zhang Dequan dared to speak to Jiang Zichun like this, of course Shi Junji acquiesced, but Zhang Dequan, who has been with Shi Junji for many years, knows that Jiang Zichun has completely lost Shi Junji's favor.

"But……"

"Go back." Shi Jun said very lightly, no matter how unwilling Jiang Zichun was now, he had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
