In the early autumn of the capital, the coolness is gradually rising, without the scorching heat of summer, and the merchants and vendors traveling to and from the capital have also put on long clothes, but this does not affect the prosperity of the capital at all.
On this day, Ma Xiaoquan led several female members of his family to wander on the street. It was rare that the emperor had not gone to court in the past two days. Although the officials of the court complained, they still had to eat what they should eat and drink what they should drink.
At this moment, a group of factory guards from the East Factory suddenly appeared in front of them. They all held their chests high and held their chests high, taking generous steps to clean up the pedestrians and vendors in front of them and on the roads beside them.
Hua Yue frowned slightly and said, "Why are the people in Dongchang so lawless now?"
Ma Xiaoquan made a move, and a servant understood and ran to the front to find out the news. After a while, he came back and reported: "My lord, this is Wei Zhongxian. He is going on a trip."
"Wei Zhongxian? He behaves like an emperor during his travels. Isn't he too arrogant?" Bei Mingxue couldn't help but muttered.
Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin and made a quiet movement.
At this time, the eight-carrying sedan carrying Wei Zhongxian came slowly. When passing Ma Xiaoquan, the sedan bearer at the head suddenly shouted and the sedan stopped.
Wei Zhongxian opened the curtain of the sedan chair and poked his head out to see Ma Xiaoquan and his female relatives. He was not only jealous in his heart.
Why is it that the women around Ma Xiaoquan are all as beautiful as flowers, and why is there not even a decent woman around him? Either they are vulgar, or they are just following the trend and clinging to him, and they have no personality at all. Why?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt bloated in his chest. Wei Zhongxian said: "Ma Xiaoquan, stop!"
Ma Xiaoquan frowned, stopped and said, "Wei Zhongxian, you play your game, I'll play mine, what's wrong? What's going on?"
Wei Zhongxian rolled his eyes and said, "Ma Xiaoquan, look at how nice the weather has been these past two days. It's neither hot nor cold, but very cool. How about I invite you and let's go hunting in the suburbs of Beijing together?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "You're here, who knows who you are ambushing in the suburbs of Beijing and want to kill me, so don't go!"
"Oh, look at you, am I that kind of person?"
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips and said: "Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and other six people from Donglin were killed by you. Aren't you such a person?"
Wei Zhongxian was exposed by Ma Xiaoquan, his face turned red and he said, "Just tell me whether you want to go or not?"
"Don't go!"
Wei Zhongxian's face darkened, and he was about to take down Ma Xiaoquan, but then he thought about it, in broad daylight, Ma Xiaoquan did not break the law, plus he was the deacon of the Jin Yiwei, and now he also has power. If this is not handled well, the two gangs
If you fight, it will be bad.
"Haha, I just want to invite you. Nothing more. If you don't want to go, forget it..." Wei Zhongxian put down the curtain of the sedan chair and waved his hand with an unhappy look on his face.
The sedan was lifted up again and left slowly.
Ma Xiaoquan watched Wei Zhongxian go away, feeling a little uncomfortable and said: "It's really unlucky. Why did I meet such an annoying person when I came out today? It's really..."
Fangfang held the child in her arms and said, "Sir, don't think so much. Didn't you say you would come out today to buy a gift for Tong'er?" [Tong'er is the nickname of Ma Xiaoquan and Fangfang's son Ma Zhifeng]
"Yeah, that's right. There happens to be a pawn shop over there. Let's go in and see if we can find something good for Tong'er."
"Pawn shop? Sir, the things in the pawn shop are very expensive, why don't you go there?"
"Hey? Why don't you use it? Let's go for a walk~" Ma Xiaoquan smiled and waved.
Bei Mingxue pouted and said: "It's so partial, you won't even buy it for us..."
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes: "I won't buy it for you? Tell me, is there less for you?"
Bei Mingxue chuckled, took Ma Xiaoquan's arm and said, "That's what I said, let's go, let's go, I'll go to the pawn shop, too."
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Hua Yue and Lisa, and the two girls nodded and hummed softly.
...
There are no less than twenty pawnshops in the capital, of which three are the largest. The pawnshop that Ma Xiaoquan and his party came to is one of the three large-scale pawnshops, named "Chen Ji Pawnshop".
As soon as we entered the door, the waiter at Chen Ji Pawnshop came up to us enthusiastically. When he saw it was Ma Xiaoquan, he quickly said politely: "Oh, it's really a rare visitor. It turns out to be Mr. Ma, the deacon of Jinyiwei. Please come quickly."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said, "Have you got anything good recently?"
"Ouch, Mr. Ma, you are telling me that our Chenji Pawnshop is one of the best in the capital. Can we have a good one? Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and order Dadaoshi now."
Dabao Shi is the number one person in the pawn shop. Normally, no one will look for Dabao Shi unless he encounters a good deal or a noble person comes to his door.
Fangfang had never been into a pawn shop. She raised her head and looked at the high counter of the pawn shop and said, "This counter is so high. It's even taller than me."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Not entirely, look at that side, it's lower."
Fangfang turned around and asked, "Why are they not the same height?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "There are good and bad things, and the counters are also high and low, haha..."
"Oh~" Fangfang said as if she didn't understand.
At this moment, the waiter who greeted the door came over again, followed by a middle-aged man.
"Master Ma, haha..." The middle-aged man walked up to Ma Xiaoquan and politely handed over his hand.
Ma Xiaoquan returned the gift and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a while, Zhao Dadaoshi?"
"Haha, no matter where you are, the adults are busy, and the little ones are busy too. Aren't they all busy? Sir, please take a seat, Shuanzi, and go serve tea."
The waiter who greeted the door stood in a daze, staring closely at Hua Yue, Bei Mingxue, Lisa and Fangfang. He was so attracted by the beauty of these four women that he lost his mind.
"Pah~" Zhao reached out and slapped the doorman named Shuanzi. Then he came back to his senses and said quickly, "Oh, where are you?"
"Pfft~~" Hua Yue covered her mouth and chuckled.
Zhao Dadaoshi's face darkened: "What the hell, you don't even know your father when you see something so good? Hurry up and get some tea."
"Oh, oh, yes~~" Shuanzi turned around and murmured, "You are not my father..."
"Hurry up and go, you're just mumbling..." Zhao raised his foot vigorously, pretending to kick it.
Shuanzi made a hiding gesture and ran away quickly.
Zhao Dabaoshi apologized embarrassedly and said: "Sir, I brought Shuanzi from my hometown. He is also a little nephew of my family. Well, I am his fifth uncle."
