Hearing Su Shi's confident answer, the clay figurine Zhang immediately nodded, "Okay, then the relationship is good, young master, I'll just wait."
"good."
It was already a quarter of an hour after Su Shi returned to the room. Although he had stood outside the door for a while and let the cold wind blow for a while, there was still a bloody smell about him that could not be gone away in a short time.
Yue Siling just wrinkled his nose slightly and smelled it. But he didn't say anything and continued to help Su Shi wash up as before.
When Yue Siling finally wanted to hug Su Shi and go to bed, Su Shi shook his head, then stood up from the wooden chair and walked to the bed.
"Ah! Master, can you leave by yourself?" Seeing this, Yue Siling said with a surprised look on his face.
"Yes." Su Shi smiled and nodded, "But this is a secret between the two of us. Don't tell others."
When he heard that it was just a secret between the two of them, Yue Siling nodded happily.
...
When a new day comes, Bianliang City is full of vitality again.
All morning, there were various vendors selling breakfast, and the sounds of shouting could be heard one after another.
The people living here in Jiuzhou Bridge are rich people, and there are even many powerful people. Naturally, vendors would not dare to sell in such a place.
Su Shi got up from bed, full of energy and full of energy.
"Master, what are you going to do today? Are you going to report to the Yamen?" Yue Siling, who chirped like a little magpie, asked curiously while helping Su Shi wash up.
"Yamen?" Su Shi was stunned, and then he remembered that he was now one of the officials of the Song Dynasty. Then he smiled bitterly and said: "Tongzhilang is just a casual official, there is no fixed yamen, so naturally I don't need it.
Go to Dian Mao. There are other important things to do today, so you can also go and clean up."
"Ah! Can I go too?" Yue Siling pointed to herself in disbelief.
"Of course." Su Shi nodded. No matter what the status of women was in the Song Dynasty, in his eyes, everyone was still equal. Besides, he was not going to talk to anyone important. He was just talking about what happened last night.
It's just some finishing touches, so it doesn't hurt to take Yue Siling with me.
Yue Siling was really excited when she heard that she could really accompany her. This was no longer as simple as a maid, but the kind of treatment that a lady should have in many cases.
Of course, Yue Siling has her own self-awareness. Her background means that it is difficult for her to become Su Shi's main wife. Not to mention, she is now an official, so the gap between the two is even further.
Clay figurine Zhang didn't get much rest all night, and he was accompanied by Lao Youtiao, who also stayed up all night.
God knows, why is my body similar to Qian Bao's?
Laoyoutiao has every reason to believe that the clay figurine Zhang thinks he is too idle and wants to find something to do for himself.
But even after finding himself, the old youtiao has no reason to refuse. After eating so much from the young master and drinking so much, he should have done things for the young master long ago, right?
After the clay figurine dressed up, the most important thing was that after putting on the clothes Qian Bao usually wore, a living Qian Bao appeared.
In the morning, before many people had gotten up, Laoyoutiao! No, "Qian Bao" left the Su Mansion and hid in the bustling Bianliang City.
After having breakfast with everyone, the carriage came over. This time, Su Shi was not wearing a cloth robe, but changed into a white brocade coat. Now that he was also an official, he was finally qualified to wear silk without any restrictions. limit.
After the wooden chair got on the covered carriage, it also moved slowly with the whip in the hand of the little white pigeon, aiming directly at Fan Lou.
Fan Tower, located at the northern end of Bianliang Royal Street, was the most famous restaurant at that time. It was also called Ailan Tower.
The building is three stories high, with the fifth floors facing each other, each connected by a flying bridge. It is gorgeous and majestic, and the number of daily customers is often more than a thousand.
Song Dynasty, Liu Zihui's "Bianjing Chronicle" Poem No. 17: "I remember how happy I was as a young man, and I went to Fan Tower under the lights late at night."
"Ancient and Modern Novels·Zhao Bosheng Meets Renzong at the Tea House": "After half a while, I saw a restaurant. It was so tall! It was the famous Fan Tower."
Qing Dynasty, Zhao Yi's "Ode to the Ancient West Lake" No. 4: "The peaks and mountains of Sanzhu are not Genyue, and the lights on the two embankments are like Fan Towers."
Fan Tower is not only famous, but also extremely tall. What's even more exaggerated is that standing on top of Fan Tower, you can actually see the entire Song Dynasty Imperial City. If you have a telescope in your hand, you can really see many things that are unspeakable to outsiders.
It is also through this incident that we can see the enlightenment of the Song Dynasty royal family. If you try the same thing on Li Laosan and Zhu Chongba, if you keep it, your family will be ruined overnight.
Su Shi will come to Fanlou to meet with "Qian Bao". He needs to let everyone know that he will take care of all Qian Bao's goods next. If anyone has similar matters and comes to him, just ask him. .
It is inevitable to replace Qian Bao and regain the initiative. Think about it, if Su Shi hadn't acted quickly enough, he might have been betrayed in a few days. By that time, he would have been totally unprepared. What kind of storm will come to him is something he doesn't even dare to think about.
The carriage passed through the street, with Lou Yang, Long Xingyun, Hu Xingfeng, Wang Tong and others acting as guards to ensure safety.
In the dark, there are masters like Lone Wolf lurking in the dark. Unless it is a premeditated assassination, it is not easy to threaten Su Shi's safety.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Fan Tower, lowered the ramp, and the elegant young man in white who was sitting on the wooden chair came out and appeared in the sight of many people.
"Huh? Which family's young master or young master is this? He's really handsome?"
"Hey, it's a pity that he is sitting on a wooden chair. It's really a waste of his good skin."
"Well, Su Xiaoqi, which Su family is he from?"
On both sides of the gate of Fan Tower, many people are whispering here. Among them are people with teeth, some with skills, and some scholars.
But no matter who they are, their purpose is the same, which is to think of ways to promote themselves, hoping to be appreciated by some master and have a place to establish themselves. If you are lucky, even if you are striving for a bright future, it may not be the same. impossible.
For example, Yaren, if the gentleman needs it, they can provide various services. Whatever kind of person you need, as long as you pay, they can find it for you. There are many choices to ensure you are satisfied with the one.
Those who know skills, some Kung Fu, or some other skills. There are also those who sell certain things, like Yang Zhi in Water Margin who sells knives and chose to do business here. It's just a pity. , he didn’t even have the capital to enter Fanlou, so he didn’t know how to do it.
As for scholars, of course they are promoting themselves. They can work as accountants, stewards, and housekeepers. Once they have established themselves, they will study hard in private, hoping to gain a reputation and spend their entire lives.
If you want to achieve the above goals, the rich and powerful are undoubtedly the best choice. As the largest restaurant in Bianliang City, it is also the most expensive restaurant. Those who can spend here are either rich or expensive, which is the goal they can choose.
The appearance of Su Shi naturally attracted the attention of these people. But when they saw that he was not only a disabled person, but also a young man, everyone turned their heads elsewhere.
How much say does a teenager have in the family?
Moreover, young people are unstable and difficult to serve. It would be better to put your limited energy on others.
Su Shi didn't pay attention to these people. Sitting on the wooden chair, he was more looking at the height and width of Fan Tower.
"Well, this place is good, but I don't know if it will sell."
This was the first thought in Su Shi's mind.
Of course, if anyone knew that this was what the young man in white was thinking, he would probably laugh out loud right away.
This is Fanlou. The land is so expensive and the amount of money required is astronomical. Do you think anyone can buy it?
Also, if you want to buy Fan Tower, you must at least know who the owner is. If you don’t even know who it is, how can you talk about buying and selling?
Naturally, Su Shi just thought about it. With his current financial resources, he still couldn't buy Fan Lou. After all, he didn't want to make a big tree and attract trouble, so he didn't sell too many goods, but he couldn't say for sure in the future.
"Young Master, we are on the third floor, No. 3 Tianzijian." Lou Yang stepped forward and whispered. After receiving Su Shi's instructions, he pushed him straight to the third floor.
Yue Siling on the side followed step by step, her mood was excited, and her eyes were a little tired. Obviously everything here was so prosperous in her eyes. For an unsophisticated thirteen-year-old girl, it was indeed very attractive.
force.
In No. 3 of the Tianzi Room on the third floor, an old man who has been transformed into Qian Bao is sitting here. Only when no one is paying attention, he will scratch his head. After all, part of his hair and beard are attached, giving people a
A very itchy feeling,
Fortunately, Qian Bao will leave in the future and will not appear in front of everyone unless necessary. The old fritter doesn't have to suffer this anymore. This is the only thing he is happy about.
A steward from Fan Tower stood beside "Qian Bao", looking like he was ready for orders at any time.
For this talented person who has recently stirred up business in the capital, you don’t dare to be careless in management. Who doesn’t know that as long as Master Qian is happy, the copper coins he gives you as a reward are enough for you to work for a long time before you can make money.
Where did it arrive?
When he felt his ears and temples were itching again, "Qian Bao" said to the steward on the side: "Go and see, why hasn't anyone come here yet?"
"Oh, okay, okay." The steward agreed quickly, becoming even more curious about this upcoming guest.
I think in the past, others were waiting for Mr. Qian. When did Mr. Qian become so anxious to wait for others?
