Chapter 116
Chapter 116
In order not to attract attention, Gu Ruyang refused to let Haicheng follow him, and even took Gu Haixing aside, and only asked her to lead someone to protect him secretly. In fact, something happened on the territory of Beiqi, even if Haicheng came forward, it would be fine. Can't help much, that's the way it is so the more low-key the safer.
Gu Ruyang originally took Zhaoyang's little hand to go out, but Zhaoyang shook off his hand before stepping out of the threshold. Gu Ruyang suddenly realized that today and Zhaoyang are both dressed as men, and it would be weird if two men were holding hands and walking Very soon, Gu Ruyang pretended to be a businessman from Ryukyu, so he also pretended to be a merchant and walked with his hands behind his back. Zhaoyang and Gu Ruyang stood side by side, looked at each other with a smile, and walked down the street together.
At this time, turpentine street no longer sells turpentine. The goods here come from all over the world. There are luxurious chambers of commerce on both sides of the street. The Haishi Guild Hall is not the first here. Don't look at the luxury of this guild hall, but the entrance of the guild hall is very Very down-to-earth, the goods in the baskets are placed in the place, whether it is the finest silk or the best seafood, or porcelain, calligraphy, painting and spices, or the pots and pans that are always in the house, these items are not at all because of their price. High or low, it looks special, piled up in the basket for anyone to choose.
"I think this silk is very good." Zhaoyang loves to buy clothes by nature, since it is a private visit in a micro-service, it is natural to look at these things for sale to make them more real.
Gu Ruyang was pulled onto a basket of fabrics by Zhaoyang. Zhaoyang knelt down and stroked the fabrics with his hands, then nodded again. Although the weaving skills and raw materials are not as good as Huiniangfang, but I will remember them when I take them back. The city is absolutely superior.
"Young master, don't you look like someone from the Northland?" The salesman greeted Zhaoyang quickly when he saw that Zhaoyang was a man of knowledge.
"From Ryukyu." Gu Ruyang replied.
"Then I really have to talk about my cloth. I am a high-quality material from Bincheng. The weavers and embroiderers in Bincheng all work for the royal weaving. This is all their craftsmanship."
Zhaoyang burst out laughing when he heard the salesman boasting.
"What's so ridiculous, sir?" the salesman asked puzzled.
Zhaoyang said: "Since you are doing business in the imperial weaving, there is no reason to make cloth for you. Isn't this a matter of losing your head?"
"The young master is talking about the former dynasty." The salesman laughed: "If the former dynasty is true, then we will only use the weavers we cultivated by ourselves."
"You mean it's different now?" Gu Ruyang asked curiously.
"Of course it's different." The salesman said proudly: "After Emperor Ren came to the throne, he dismissed many weavers and embroiders who were weaving. He was afraid that they would not be able to support themselves, so he allowed them to sell their crafts. The materials you see are all From their hands, this can be regarded as the royal craft, we do business, but we never lie, otherwise how dare we talk nonsense about losing our heads, right young master?"
Zhaoyang really didn't expect Ren Tianbo to do what she wanted to do. When she read back to the city, she also proposed to Qin Wuyong to release the elderly skilled people in the palace and give them money to make a living with their skills. On the one hand, it can improve the skills of all walks of life, and more importantly, it can also demonstrate the virtues of the royal family. Zhaoyang's words had already shaken Qin Wuyong, but due to the obstruction of some conservative ministers, it stopped.
To the salesman's words, Zhaoyang still nodded in agreement, but he had another heart in his heart.
"Then how do you sell this cloth?" Zhaoyang continued to ask, also to see how the cloth was priced.
"Ten horses are sold at a starting price of ninety taels. If you can buy a hundred horses here, then the price can be negotiated." Seeing that Zhao Yang and Gu Ruyang were dressed luxuriously, the salesman said again: " Our guild hall is also a buyer looking for long-term business, if you two are sincere, you can also come to our guild hall to see other goods."
Gu Ruyang came to inquire about the enemy's situation, how could he bring so many things with him, but Zhaoyang was really interested in this cloth, so he said to the salesman: "We are just here to see the goods, why don't we buy them by Shiliang?" You have a piece of sample cloth, if you compare several and think yours is the best, then take a hundred pieces?"
Seeing that Gu Ruyang looked like a seasoned businessman, the salesman immediately smiled and promised, "That's of course good. These cloths are sample cloths. You can choose whatever you want. If you want good cloths, there are still in the guild hall."
Zhaoyang also knew what Gu Ruyang meant. Naturally, this cloth couldn't be compared with the ones in her palace, but she also wanted to take it back and compare it. Since Beilu can sell royal goods, she might be able to go back to the city. So I picked it up carefully in the basket.
Gu Ruyang looked around for a while, and starfish was still following them not far behind. It seemed that they were still keeping a low profile and hadn't been discovered. Gu Ruyang asked the salesman again: "My brother and I haven't eaten yet. Is there anything delicious around here?"
Talking about food sellers, he was excited. He pointed to the street and said: "Walking east, there is a Yueran building. Their seafood is very good. The abalone is half the size of a head!"
"I'm tired of eating big fish and meat, but are there some local specialties?" Gu Ruyang asked.
The salesman still pointed at the street: "Then you have to go under Yueran Building. There is a century-old store called Fengchunfang, which mainly sells some marinated goods. Their Fengchun wine is the best in Fujian County. Its attic There is an elegant room, like the two masters, you can sit in the elegant room and avoid the hustle and bustle."
If Gu Ruyang's habit is followed, there will be more copper coins for rewards on weekdays, which is low-key and naturally inexpensive.
"Thank you, little brother." Gu Ruyang cupped his hands and patted Zhaoyang's shoulder again: "Brother, let's go with brother, we're eating."
Following the salesman's direction, the two found Fengchunfang. Although it is a place to drink and eat meat, the name of the shop and the Yingying Yanyan in front of Gu Ruyang made Gu Ruyang feel that it was more like a drinking place. There is a place for flower wine, but the salesman is right about one thing, that is, this wine must be good wine, and you can smell the aroma of the wine even a hundred feet away from Fengchunfang.
Gu Ruyang took the lead and strode closer to the building. This building is indeed not as gorgeous as the Yueran Building, but it can be regarded as elegant. The people who come in and out include her doing business, and there are some ordinary people, but they are all Men, no women, Gu Ruyang is also an old Jianghu, it's not like she didn't do this flesh and blood business in Wanshigang, and she knew what this place was for, so she couldn't help but want to take Zhaoyang to the so-called elegant room on the second floor and go.
While Gu Ruyang was looking around at where the elegant room was going, a big lady walked over with a happy face.
"Hey, are the two masters here to drink?"
Gu Ruyang looked up and down at the woman in front of her, her face was covered with thick powder, and she was definitely a mother.
"I said that the lo mei and wine here are top-grade, so I'll come and try them." Gu Ruyang looked in the direction of the stairs: "Arrange an elegant room for me."
The mother also looked at Gu Ruyang, seeing that Gu Ruyang was dressed in extraordinary clothes and looked imposing, and Zhaoyang beside her also had a noble face, so she knew that she had to be treated politely.
"I'm sorry, sir, but the private room on the second floor is full today." Mom explained: "If you just eat meat and drink, then I can arrange a quiet place for you on this floor?"
"What if it's not just eating meat and drinking?" Zhaoyang also asked, and she kept her voice very low when talking to this mother.
"This master has good eyesight, and our girl is also very good." The mother smiled and said, "If this young master is interested, I will arrange someone to come to accompany you two?"
"Okay." Zhaoyang replied straightforwardly, completely ignoring Gu Ruyang's eyes staring like goldfish.
"I like to be quiet, so don't make too much noise in the arranged place." Zhaoyang looked around, those Yingying and Yanyan were considered to be the rules, maybe it was just at noon now, and I didn't see them having fun with the guests, Zhaoyang continued. : "As for girls, find two newcomers, I like tender ones."
"Well, let me see that the master knows the goods."
The mother smiled, and hurriedly took Zhaoyang and Gu Ruyang to a quiet room. After arranging them to sit down, the mother asked Xiao Er to bring the menu and went to arrange for the girl herself.
Gu Ruyang ordered a few dishes casually, sent the little girl away, and then changed his face towards Zhaoyang: "What do you mean you like tender ones?!"
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhaoyang quickly pinched Gu Ruyang's face: "Not as tender as you."
"What do you mean?" Gu Ruyang asked, with Zhao Yang's staid temperament cultivated in the palace, he would definitely not be curious about the flower girl, and this move must have a deep meaning.
"We two old men who just landed from the sea, if we don't find girls in the city, do you think it's normal?" Zhaoyang asked.
When Gu Ruyang was in a hurry, he became less thoughtful. Recently, it was also a sensitive period in Minzhou. They took the initiative to open the air route, but they wanted to invite you into the urn. The two of them entered this basket calmly, but they never thought that they would die in this basket. .
"My virtuous brother is more thoughtful." Gu Ruyang immediately entered the scene.
"The girl is here!"
The mother's voice was unique, and before the dishes were served, she came in with two girls of twelve or thirteen years old, and asked the two girls to salute Gu Ruyang, and the mother said again: "These two This girl is very tender, I just bought it a few days ago, but she is not quick enough to do things, if there is any offence, the two young masters will bear it."
This mother is very good at talking, Zhao Yang meant to be a tender girl, but it is normal for this newcomer to be careless, so he put the ugly words first, and if something happened later, the responsibility would be shirked It's clean.
"It's okay, these two girls stay here, mother, you can go first." Zhaoyang gave Gu Ruyang a smirk, pulled one girl to sit beside him, and pointed to the other girl and said, "The one who gave it to you Pour the wine."
Seeing that Zhaoyang looked like a regular visitor, the mother gave a few more instructions to the two girls, and after a thousand blows, she quit and stopped bothering her.
"My dear brother, if I hadn't guessed that you are familiar with the way when you come here." Gu Ruyang put the wine that the girl poured into her mouth, still feeling a little pissed in her heart, saying that she was playing on the occasion, but she really didn't want to be in such a place. Performed with kiln sisters in the venue. "
Zhaoyang raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, this was really the first time she came to this kind of place, but it was fun to see Gu Ruyang eating sour, so she asked the girl next to her to bring food for her, and she treated Gu Ruyang Yang Yang said: "I thought my brother was very familiar with him too."
"I……"
What Zhaoyang said is right, Gu Ruyang's port still collects brothel taxes, if you know him well, Gu Ruyang is indeed better.
"Brother, you are joking, I only have my wife in my heart, and I will never go to these places," Gu Ruyang said, putting the wine glass in front of him, not letting the girl pour the wine, and continued: "Brother, you If you go home like this, you will be beaten."
