Zhao Han stood on the threshold of the flower hall, her hands folded into trumpets, "Fifth sister, if you don't come out, don't blame me for not taking you with me when I go out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Wei emerged from the rockery in the court and said in surprise, "Fourth brother agreed!?"
"Ah, you're actually hiding here? Why didn't you respond when I called you just now?"
Zhao Han had a look of disbelief on his face. He had just searched around the rockery several times, but he couldn't find anyone.
"Hehe, there is a small hole in it. I thought it was interesting, so I went in and played for a while."
As Zhao Yu said this, he jumped down from the rockery and ran to Zhao Yu.
"Humph, I believe you, you idiot!" Zhao Jian pursed her lips and said angrily, "Fourth brother is indeed right, you will deceive and use me! You are even worse than Qian Duo!"
Zhao Hao smiled and pinched Zhao Hao's rosy cheeks, "Don't be angry. Anyway, even if you really get into trouble, fourth brother will never blame you... Okay, okay, no big deal, I'll go out later." Let me buy you a Mohele head office."
"Mohele" is a puppet clay doll, just like the Barbie doll in later generations. It was very popular in the Song Dynasty and was a toy that was very popular among women and children.
"Really?" Zhao Han immediately beamed with joy, "Then I want two!"
She is a princess after all, so she bought it so cheaply?
Zhao Mengqi in the door looked at this scene and covered his forehead. These two sisters, one is so smart that it makes people have a headache, and the other is so stupid that it makes people feel distressed.
After waiting for more than two quarters of an hour, Gu Qing came back with a group of men and women and began to disguise the three brothers and sisters respectively.
Huangcheng Division really has all kinds of talents. It didn't take long for the three of them to change their appearance. It was really difficult to recognize people who were not very familiar with them.
Zhao Mengqi was dressed like a young man, with a layer of powder on his face, and a big red rose flower on his head. He was really slutty and coquettish.
Seeing the disgust on Zhao Mengqi's face, Gu Qing tried to persuade him, "Your Highness, there are many people in the city and it is easier to follow the crowd in such a disguise. For safety reasons, please do it."
This is really not Gu Qing's deliberate trouble, but men in the Song Dynasty really liked hairpins. Even Li Kui wore hairpins, and some young men from wealthy families were even more smeared with makeup, thinking it was fashionable.
Zhao Mengqi shrugged helplessly, and then saw his two sisters also packed up and walked out.
They changed into simple and elegant clothes, wore curtains and hats on their heads, and covered their faces with white gauze.
Then everyone in the personal entourage also changed their clothes, and the whole team looked like children from a wealthy family traveling.
Under Gu Qing's arrangement, he quietly left Zicheng in a flat-top car with a carriage. After making many detours, he got off in an uninhabited alley.
After leaving the alley, Zhao Mengqi was left with only two sisters and Gu Qingzhi, a total of five people. Wu Qiong was too tall to be easily concealed, so he was not taken with him. The other guards and people from the Imperial City Division all dispersed and disappeared. into the crowd.
Taking a deep breath of free air, Zhao Mengqi raised his eyes and looked around at the crowds of people passing by in the market.
Gusu City was already prosperous and had a large population, but now it is many times more prosperous. There are wealthy gentry and rich people from all over the country who know the way to make money, traders and pawns who smell business opportunities, students and scholars who have just finished the government examination, craftsmen Lifu who make a living, etc. Waiting for a while, all kinds of people poured in, making the city more vibrant than before.
The bustle in the world is all for the sake of coming, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for the sake of going away.
Several measures taken by Zhao Mengqi have begun to show a huge siphon effect, making Pingjiang Mansion expected to become the real economic center of the Song Dynasty.
This visible change gave Zhao Mengqi a vague sense of accomplishment and made him feel happier.
As they were walking, Zhao Fei pulled Zhao Jian and stopped in front of a stall selling mojole, "Ms. Jian, the mojole here is pretty good. See if you like it."
Zhao Han bit her finger, tilted her head and looked at it for a while, and finally shook her head, "It's too ordinary..."
"There are so many varieties that you don't like? So what do you want?" Zhao Hui was surprised and had an unknown premonition.
Zhao Yan smiled slyly, took out his finger from his mouth and pointed at a jewelry store, "Fifth sister, let's go
Take a look there. "
"Ah, Lady Jian, are you enlightened?" Zhao Fei smiled bitterly.
Zhao Han dragged her hand and walked towards the jewelry store, "Let's go, let's go, you promised this yourself."
Zhao Mengqi followed his two younger sisters and said jokingly, "Madam Madam, Madam Madam, you must not have thought that one day you would fall into Madam Chan's hands..."
"No! How could she have so many thoughts?" Zhao Hui reacted and immediately said angrily, "I know, it must be Fourth Brother who taught her! Fourth Brother, you are so bad!"
"Hey... you are only allowed to lie to her, but you are not allowed to teach her." Zhao Mengqi put his hands behind his back with a smirk on his face.
When we walked into the store, we were immediately greeted by a waiter who was warm and considerate, but just right and not boring.
There were no glass counters at this time, so the store did not display many products. Instead, it was more like a magnificent party hall, with many mahogany and sandalwood tables and chairs arranged in an orderly manner, many of which were A customer is sitting, looking at the products on the trays.
The waiter led Zhao Mengqi and others to find a seat and sat down. He immediately served tea and cakes, "Sir, what kind of jewelry do you need? I will bring it to you for a look."
"You have a bar in your shop, so bring out the best." Zhao Mengqi said with a smile.
The waiter was not surprised, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
In later generations, there were Barbies that cost only a few yuan, but there were also dolls worth dozens or millions of dollars. In the Song Dynasty, there were Mohule dolls that cost a few pennies each, and some were also very expensive. Therefore, it is not strange for jewelry stores to sell toys.
Not long after, five or six waiters carried or hugged dozens of mojole.
These Mohule dolls of different sizes are not small clay dolls. They have different postures but are all very delicate. The smallest one is only as big as a thumb, while the largest one is as big as a real child.
All kinds of precious materials are used, some are carved from ivory, some are carved from Longyan Buddha's hand incense, and some are made from jade. The clothes and decorations are even more exquisite, including the toys in their hands. They are all made of gold, jade and precious stones.
Some are also equipped with house furniture with painted wood carvings, everything is lifelike.
The waiter introduced it and finally said, "When it comes to the exquisiteness of grinding and drinking music, Gusu must be the best in the world, and the grinding and drinking music in our shop can be said to be the best in Gusu!"
"Oh, that's not a bad tone." Zhao Mengqi was noncommittal and looked at Zhao Han with a smile, "If you don't like it, let's look at another one. I have to make your fifth sister feel miserable today."
Zhao Han looked at this one and touched that one, feeling that he couldn't put it down.
"Fifth sister, I want them all."
Zhao Hui's heart trembled, "No, just two as promised! Besides, do you think I am someone who has brought so much money?"
The princess's family doesn't have any money left. If they buy it all, their salary for several years will be wasted.
Zhao Feng was afraid that Zhao Fang wouldn't believe it, so she took out her purse, poured out the golden beans inside, and said with pain, "It's all here, I'll leave it all to you."
Zhao Han thought about it for a while, but still couldn't resist the thought of wanting it all, so he lifted up the white gauze on his hat and looked at Zhao Mengqi with big watery eyes, "Fourth brother..."
Zhao Mengqi couldn't laugh or cry. Didn't he dig a hole and bury himself in it?
"Wrap it all up and figure out how much it will cost."
"Ah?!" The clerk was stunned at first, and then burst into great joy, "Guest...Guest, what do you mean...do you want all of them?"
Zhao Mengqi shrugged and looked at Zhao Han fondly, "What if?"
"Wait a moment!" The guy became sharp again and trotted to the back hall.
Perhaps it was because the guy's voice was too loud, which attracted other customers to look over.
Zhao Mengqi quickly put down Zhao Han's white gauze, flicked the golden beans on the case, and smiled evilly at Zhao Fei, "If it's not enough, it will be deducted from the income of your farm..."
Zhao Hui was dumbfounded, "Fourth brother, you are too partial!"
"Hey, let's see if you dare to use Jian Niang as a weapon again." Zhao Mengqi said confidently.
At this time, a woman said loudly, "Shopkeeper, that tooth carving guy
I want Mohele! "
Zhao Mengqi followed the sound and saw that the woman who was speaking was full of wealth but was very young, only about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was arrogantly pointing at the grinding machine on the table.
It happened that the waiter came from the back hall with the shopkeeper. Seeing this, he said hurriedly, "I'm sorry, sorry, Madam Lu, please forgive me. These drinks have been bought by this guest, and I can't sell them to you anymore." .”
But the woman refused, "Then it's none of my business. I just want to have fun."
Then a heroic man next to her stood up and said, "Since the insider has said that he wants it, I'll ask Shopkeeper Li to forgive me."
When this man spoke, he didn't even look at Zhao Mengqi, as if he was disdainful.
Shopkeeper Li looked embarrassed, as if he didn't dare to offend the young couple too much. After hesitating for a while, he looked at Zhao Mengqi with prayer, "Mr. Gentleman, you see that you are going to buy so much, you are not short of one or two." , how about we form a good relationship and give this lady the ivory grinder, drink and enjoy it?"
Zhao Mengqi naturally didn't care if there was one more or one less, but the attitude of the couple made him unhappy.
Now that you know that you will buy everything you say, if you want it, come over and have a good discussion. If you give in, you will give in. Even Zhao Han will be reasonable.
But with his eyes above his head, why should he spoil them?
"Oh, I said I want them all, so I can't miss even half of them!"
"This?" Shopkeeper Li was at a loss for words and felt a pain in his balls. He finally came up with a huge deal, but why did Cheng Yaojin show up in the middle of the deal?
The heroic man glanced at Zhao Mengqi, who was oily-headed and pink-faced, and sneered, "You baby, you really don't know the world. Judging from your appearance, you must have some family background. However, I advise you, no matter where you come from, our Lu family It’s not something you can afford to offend!”
Zhao Mengqi was amused, "What's the Donkey family and the Ma family? I want to see, why can't I afford to offend you?"
"Yellow-mouthed boy! Looking for a fight!" The heroic man kicked the chair behind him, stood up and rushed towards Zhao Mengqi with a fist.
Zhao Mengqi didn't even blink, but the man was blocked by Gu Qing halfway.
Gu Qing pinched the man's wrist, pushed it back, and at the same time kicked his knee, causing him to kneel on the ground in seconds.
"Wen Hu!" Mrs. Lu exclaimed. She was about to call someone and then she realized that she thought her husband was very skilled, so she didn't bring a guard when she went shopping today.
Concerned about King Yan traveling incognito, Gu Qing didn't want to make things worse, so he quickly let go of the man.
The man waved his hands and stood up with his face turning blue and purple. Perhaps he knew that he was far from the opponent's opponent, so he didn't dare to say anything. He just said bitterly, "Fan will definitely have consequences for what happened today!"
Madam Lu came eagerly to help her, but she complained, "You are so brave on weekdays, why are you so useless today!"
"You're careless, you're careless." Fan Wenhu said sarcastically.
"Well, it's true that I was attacked by a villain. Just be fine." Mrs. Lu actually believed her husband's words, and then glared at Zhao Mengqi arrogantly, "How dare you offend my Lu family? How dare you tell me your name! "
Zhao Mengqi laughed again and roughly guessed the identity of the couple, "Who are you, Lu Shikui?"
"You know my brother!?" Madam Lu was surprised.
Oops, it turns out that Fan Wenhu is really a loser.
Zhao Mengqi touched his nose and said, "I know you."
"That's good!" Madam Lu became even more arrogant, "Since you know who I am, you should be a little self-aware. I'm going to make a decision today!"
"Haha, that's such a strong tone. Don't say it's you. Even if Lu Shikui comes by himself, I won't let you go if I say you won't!" Zhao Mengqi didn't bother to argue with her, so he turned to shopkeeper Li and said, "Let's pay, how much is it? "
Shopkeeper Li said anxiously, "The inheritance is two thousand three hundred and eighty guan."
Gee, these gadgets cost so much, they can buy hundreds of thousands of kilograms of rice.
Zhao Mengqi smiled and took out the money from his pocket.
"I'll pay you five thousand yuan! Shopkeeper Li, please deliver the things to Lu's house, and then go to the accounting room to settle the payment." Madam Lu said proudly, "I don't believe it anymore, why are you still here?"
Can you go out with so much money? "
It's true, even if it's paper money, five thousand guan is a big stack.
"Oh, more than money?" Zhao Mengqi chuckled, took out a pamphlet, and looked at Shopkeeper Li, "Do you know about the check?"
"Are you talking about a check from the Royal Bank? I've heard of it, but I haven't had the pleasure to see it yet."
Shopkeeper Li's eyes were bright. It was said that only a few people with very special status had that check.
Zhao Mengqi opened the folder, took out a piece of paper with extremely fine printing, stamped it with a small seal, and handed it to Shopkeeper Li, "No matter how much the Lu family asks, I will add one thousand. You can just fill in the exact amount." , you don’t have to worry about it being fake, you can wait until the withdrawal is completed, and then deliver the goods. Consultant, please leave him a delivery address."
After saying that, without looking at the Lu family couple, they walked out of the store with the two sisters Shi Shiran.
This, what kind of extravagant means is this? !
Fill in as much or as little as you want! ?
Shopkeeper Li held the check and stared blankly at the six golden characters "Da Song Royal Bank" on it.
Fan Wenhu and Mrs. Lu were also stunned, and at the same time they felt a burning pain on their faces.
