Feifei's eyes were really opened this time. Not only was Xinglong City larger than Sifang Town, but it also had several times more shops than Sifang Town. [Read the full text] There are many people here, many of whom are foreigners. Of course, the largest number of merchants are from the north and south.
On the way to Zhenbao Pavilion, among the seven people, Chen Feifan and Zhang Xiaohua were the most active. Of these two people, one lived in a remote small village all year round, and the other lived in a martial arts family. Although he often listened to his grandfather talking about things in the world when he was a child, he had never been outside.
Zhenbao Pavilion is located to the east of the central area of Xinglong City. It is also the most prosperous area of Xinglong City. Many good shops are located there. After walking for less than half an hour, a group of six people, led by Butler Shi, finally arrived at the entrance of Zhenbao Pavilion.
Everyone looked up and saw, wow! It's really impressive. The four shop doors are all made of fine red doors. There are four sturdy men standing on each side of the door. A golden plaque hangs above the door, with the three characters "Jinbao Pavilion" written in flying colors. Looking inside, everyone was surprised. Is this still a place for business? It was like a teahouse inside, with many businessmen wearing gold and silver sitting inside drinking tea and talking about the current market conditions.
Butler Shi looked at everyone's reactions and smiled and said: "It's strange, isn't it? Haha! In fact, the main business of my pavilion master is not jewelry. However, he does have extraordinary business talent. Although this jewelry store only opens It’s been a few years, but it’s very prosperous.”
Yes, the master of the Treasure Pavilion is really powerful. Generally, there are only buyers and sellers in jewelry stores. One of them has goods and the other buys them. But this treasure pavilion has turned it into a teahouse, which is equivalent to a free trading platform among jewelers. Jewelers can exchange prices here and find their own buyers and sellers. Of course, Zhenbao Pavilion itself also engages in the business of buying and selling jewelry, and when jewelers trade with each other here, they also have to pay a small fee to Zhenbao Pavilion as transaction fees.
Feifan and the others had just put the treasure box down from the car when Manager Na Shi said again: "Actually, my pavilion master is at Baipin Villa now, so the treasure box will be placed here. Could you please follow me to the Villa to meet my pavilion master."
Since I was so sincerely invited, of course I had to go. Now it is Xiao Mufeng who has the final say: "Then there will be Master Laoshi."
At that moment, the servants of Zhenbao Pavilion led out seven horses. One man and one horse, led by Director Shi, rode towards the west gate of Xinglong City.
Baipin Villa is located in the western suburbs of Xinglong City. Its owner is Jia Fuqian. He is the owner of the largest restaurant chain - "Pintianxing", and of course the owner of Zhenbao Pavilion.
When Fei Fei and the others got there, they realized that the Baipin Villa was so huge. It was as big as a small village. There was a big man guarding the outer wall of the Villa every ten feet or so. This is enough to show that the owner's financial resources are strong, and he is truly wealthy!
"Everyone, please come in. The master of the pavilion is already waiting at Shixuan Pavilion in Qianzhuang." Butler Shi took the lead in dismounting and said to Fei Fei and the six of them.
So, the six people dismounted and followed Butler Shi into the villa.
"Brother, how big is it here?" Zhang Xiaohua said. The villa is full of rockeries, pools, exotic flowers and trees, and rows of long corridors. It seems that this owner is really good at it. After crossing several small bridges, bypassing several pools, and walking through several rows of corridors, we finally arrived at the so-called Shixuan Pavilion.
Feifan and Mufeng saw the rich man who was at the Sifang Escort Bureau a month ago. At this time, he was sitting in Shixuan Pavilion and drinking tea leisurely.
Hearing the footsteps outside, Jia Fuqian raised his head slightly and said to Fei Fei and the others: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone from the Sifang Escort Bureau. I, Jia Fuqian, please take a seat. Lao Shi, ask your servants to make six cups of good tea."
"Xiao Mufeng, I have something to do with the escort agency. Senior Brother Wang is returning to the escort agency on the way, so now I am responsible for leading the team." After saying this, Mufeng gave a slight salute to Jia Fuqian, then sat down unceremoniously next to him, and the other five people also He bowed to Jia Fuqian, gave a brief introduction, and then found a seat to sit down.
After a while, the servant brought six cups of fragrant hot tea. When Jia Fuqian saw that everyone had sat down, he clasped his hands and said: "Brothers from the Sifang Escort Bureau, Jia, I'm sorry for everyone. Jia, I can't stand with you here."
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. "What's going on, Pavilion Master Jia? We are working for you. If you want to accompany us, it's us. You trusted us with the treasure box. How could you feel sorry for us?" Mu Feng turned around and said.
"Hey! I'm ashamed to say that!" Jia Fuqian sighed and said, "Although Jia is greedy for money, he also knows that human life is more important than anything else. Everyone, listen to what I have to say!"
It turns out that the dart that Chen Feifan and the others secured was fake, which meant that there were no jewels in the treasure box, that is to say, there were some inferior and cheap jewels on the surface, and underneath the cheap jewels were all stones. No one knew about this, even if Even Shen Tao doesn't know. After all, if you are an escort, you can't just open other people's treasure chests.
The reason why Jia Fuqian asked Shen Tao to call the newcomers as escorts was not because newcomers would not attract attention, but quite the opposite. When famous people guard escorts, the robbers don't dare to rob them. After all, they are so powerful! When an unknown person escorts an escort, the robber doesn't know him, and he doesn't know if the escort is good or not. At this time, the robber has an impulse to give it a try.
In other words, Jia Fuqian used Fei Fei and the others as bait to attract the robbers to the official road, and the real treasure chest was secretly transported through the alley when Fei Fei and the others encountered the robbers.
"Then what do you mean, that woman in purple is also your subordinate?" Feifan said.
"The woman in purple? Oh! You are talking about her." Jia Fuqian glanced at Chen Feifan and said with a smile: "She is not my subordinate, she is my niece. She lives in this villa now."
"Niece? Are you living here now?" Except for Zhang Xiaohua, the other five people all asked Jia Fuqian with bright eyes.
"Haha! I met her on the way, so I asked her to help me!" Jia Fuqian looked at the expressions of the five people and said with a smile.
"Oh!" The five of them responded stupidly, as if they were dumbfounded, and then went to think about their own things.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Is that woman in purple very beautiful?" Zhang Xiaohua pushed Chen Feifan.
Feifei said to Xiaohua with an embarrassed look on his face: "Yeah! She's very beautiful. I can't describe her beauty."
"Oh? Then I want to see it!" Xiaohua said.
Jia Fuqian coughed, and when everyone came to their senses, he said: "Everyone, it's getting late. I ordered people to go to Pintian in Xinglong City to take care of everyone. However, Jia won't go if he has something to do. My daughter I will entertain you all on my behalf. Butler Shi, ask the eldest lady to come over, and if Zihan is free, ask her to come too."
"Everyone, Jia needs to take a step forward." After saying that, Jia Fuqian bowed, turned around and walked towards the back door of Shixuan Pavilion.
"Wow! If that eldest lady likes any one of us, then that person can become Jia Fuqian's son-in-law." Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile as he watched Jia Fuqian walk away.
"Hmph! A son-in-law riding a dragon? It depends on whether you are qualified?" Before anyone could react, a young woman walked in from the door.
I saw that this woman was about the same age as Zhang Xiaohua. She was dressed in gorgeous red silk clothes, covering her exquisite body that had not yet fully developed. Small and delicate face. Although she is very beautiful, she is still a bit inferior to the woman in purple.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman?" He said this to Zhang Xiaohua, and then he bowed and said to Fei Fei and the others: "Little girl Jia Yanjia, my father asked me to be kind to you. Please come with me to taste it." Heaven moves.”
"I asked Miss Jia, is there another woman who hasn't arrived yet?" Zhang Xiaohua said.
"Oh! You said it was my cousin! She has something to do and won't come!" Seeing the disappointed looks on everyone's faces, Jia Yanjia felt angry for no reason. Although she had a good relationship with her cousin, the expressions of the men in front of her when they heard that her cousin was not coming still made her a little jealous of her cousin.
"Hey! What a pity! What a pity!" Zhang Xiaohua said to himself.
"It's a pity that you are too big to see her. Come and follow me." After saying that, he ignored everyone and turned around and walked outside.
Everyone smiled and shook their heads. Only Zhang Xiaohua had a puzzled look on his face, thinking to himself how could I have offended this young lady.
At ten o'clock in the evening, this is the time when there are the most people in inns and hotels, and of course Pintianxing, located in the center of Xinglong City, is no exception.
Pintianxing, third floor, this is a place where only wealthy people can come. Feifan and the others were dining here with Jia Yanjia.
"Everyone, on behalf of my father, I offer you three glasses of wine to make amends for my previous mistakes." Jia Yanjia said, raising her glass and drinking it down in one gulp.
After two cups, Jia Yanjia's face was slightly red and her chest was rising slightly.
Xiao Mufeng saw this and said kindly: "Miss Jia, it's not good to drink too much. Pavilion Master Jia has already asked us not to accompany you."
"Yes! Miss Jia, this young man is right, it is better for the girl to drink less." said a man in white sitting at the table opposite Fei Fei and the others.
"It's you!" Jia Yanjia looked up at the man and said. \. ..
