The letter sent by the shopkeeper of Xunyang Zhibao Pavilion arrived in Kyoto three or four days later. In the hall on the ninth floor of a nine-story building also called Zhibao Pavilion, there was a man wearing a white ink bamboo pattern.
A man in black clothes came in with a letter, bent down and saluted the man sitting in the main seat above, and said: "Pavilion Master, I have a letter from Xunyang, saying that there are two good things."
The man sitting in the upper seat was dressed in purple. He was as white as jade, and his facial features were like peaks. He had a noble aura that was natural. At this time, when the man came in, the master of the purple-clothed pavilion was looking at the general ledger of Duobao Pavilion for the previous month.
I heard the man say: "Really? Let's take a look."
Zhibao Pavilion was established in the third year of Shunyuan Dynasty. At the beginning, there was only one store in Kyoto. When this store first came out, it attracted most of the customers in the capital, because Duobao Pavilion sells a wide variety of things, except for arms and equipment that violate the imperial court.
You can buy whatever you want regarding legal matters here.
The Treasure Pavilion is crowded with people every day, which naturally arouses the dissatisfaction of many sellers in the capital. They have tried all kinds of tricks, but they have not made the Treasure Pavilion disappear in Kyoto. On the contrary, they have made themselves smelly, so they do not dare to provoke the Treasure Pavilion.
People from the Pavilion. The boss of Zhibao Pavilion has never appeared in public since its establishment. Every time he comes out to solve a problem, his left and right store managers, Bai Ge, the left store manager, are in charge of the store's account books, and Black Eagle, the right store manager, is in charge.
All kinds of goods entered the store. Everyone agreed that there must be support from the Tian family behind the Zhibao Pavilion. They could only watch as their family became the dominant one and took over all the business in the capital. The Zhibao Pavilion made a statement.
, it was said that Zhibaoge wanted to cooperate with all the big shops in the capital. This made people very happy. Who wouldn’t like to get a piece of the pie?
In this way, with the support of many bosses in the capital, Zhibao Pavilion opened two branches in the capital within two years. It took five years to open branches in all states of Daliang Kingdom, and later even in
Some famous prefectures have smaller branches. The speed of development surprised everyone, and they had to admire the wisdom of the bosses of Zhibao Pavilion. Those bosses who chose to cooperate with Zhibao Pavilion from the beginning were even more glad that they chose Zhibao Pavilion in the first place.
Only with pavilions can we build tall buildings from flat ground.
The person who came in to deliver the letter to the Pavilion Master was the right store manager of Zhibao Pavilion. The shopkeeper of Xunyang City sent the letter to him. He saw that the drawings inside were quite amazing and he immediately showed them to the Pavilion Master. The Pavilion Master took the man
When he opened the letter in his hand, he saw that it was a painting. When he saw the things in the painting, his eyes were filled with surprise. He said, "The things in this painting are now in Xunyang City?"
The right shopkeeper Hei Ying said: "Yes, according to Cai Quan's letter, he has properly put away the things in this painting."
"Do you know who came to the pavilion to pawn something?"
Black Eagle replied: "It is said that a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old came to the cabinet to party."
"You ask Cai Quan to keep an eye on this person and find out where he comes from."
"Yes, Pavilion Master."
The master folded the paper in his hand, put it aside, picked up the fallen account book and continued to read. Seeing that Black Eagle had not left, he asked: "Is there anything else?"
Black Eagle first saluted and then said: "Pavilion Master, may I ask one more question, is there anything wrong with these two things?"
"There's nothing wrong with the thing, but maybe this person is."
"By the way. Go to Xunyang to get these two things back in person, and be quick. Be careful not to let others find out. There are more and more people staring at my Treasure Pavilion, so be careful." Pavilion Master
As he spoke, he rubbed the paper with his fingers, and there was something intriguing in his eyes.
"Yes, Pavilion Master." After Black Eagle said that, he clasped his fists and went out.
After Black Eagle went out, the master of the pavilion picked up the piece of paper again, opened it, read it again, and murmured to himself, "I wonder if you are from the same place as me?"
Seven days later, in the study of Shopkeeper Cai on the sixth floor of Zhibao Pavilion in Xunyang City, a person who made Shopkeeper Cai very happy was welcomed. When Shopkeeper Cai saw that the person coming was the manager of the right store, he was very happy, and he was even more sure that he
The thing I collected was indeed a treasure. Now I have actually seen the true faces of the two store managers. In the past, I would only see the store managers once during the Chinese New Year, and that was only from a distance. At the end of the New Year,
Store managers from all over the country would personally send a large account book to Kyoto, and then store manager Zuo would select the store with the best performance in the year for all of them, and give it to the store manager and the clerk. How many years did it take place at that time?
Ten shopkeepers sat in a big room, and he could only look at the two shopkeepers from a distance, without any chance to talk to them.
Unexpectedly, he was now lucky enough to have the cold noodle shop manager come to him from Kyoto in person. Cai Quan poured a cup of tea for Black Eagle respectfully, held it to Black Eagle with both hands and said: "Right store manager, you have some tea.
"
"Don't be nervous. I'm here just to ask you about what you said in the letter. How's it going?" Black Eagle took the tea and put it on the table.
Cai Quan nodded hurriedly and said: "I collected the things very well. When I first saw this thing, I thought it was a good thing, so I quickly wrote to you."
"You did a good job, and the Pavilion Master is very satisfied."
"Then the store manager on the right comes here this time to take away this thing?"
"Yes, but you are not in a hurry to get things now. Sit down first and I will ask you a few things."
After hearing Black Eagle's words, Cai Quan sat down below and waited for Black Eagle to ask questions.
"Did a girl really bring these two things to the store to pawn them?" Black Eagle asked.
Cai Quan nodded and said, "Yes, that day when I was settling accounts in my room, the clerk in the store suddenly said that someone came to pawn something. He also said that this girl had gone through my room before taking out the things and saying they were pawns.
"
Black Eagle continued to ask: "Is that girl from a wealthy family?"
Cai Quan shook his head and said, "It's not like that. She wore a woman's bun that day. She came in with this vegetable basket and was wearing ordinary clothes. This is what she put in the box and put in the basket."
"Then in your opinion, this girl is just a young lady from an ordinary family?" Heiying felt strange after hearing Cai Quan's words and asked again.
"Indeed, when she was picking up things, I noticed that there was a layer of calluses on her hands, which should have been caused by working for a long time. Moreover, her words and behavior did not sound like a young lady from a wealthy family." Cai
Quan recalled, "After I gave her the money, I kept a careful eye on it and asked the store clerk to follow me to take a look. She went out to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and then went to the medicine book to see the doctor.
medicine."
"Then do you know where this man lives?" Black Eagle asked.
Cai Quan shook his head and said: "At that time, after the clerk followed him to the drugstore, he came out and walked into the busy market. There were too many people and he immediately lost track of him."
Black Eagle nodded to express his understanding, thought for a while and said: "You should pay attention later to see if this woman will come again. If she comes, there is no need to alert the snake, just say hello normally, but you must secretly pay attention to this woman's face.
identity and where she lives.”
"yes."
"Okay, bring me the things. I have to go back in a hurry."
After hearing this, Cai Quan stood up and said, "Manager, this is your first time coming to Xunyang. Why don't you stay for a meal and I'll take care of you."
"No need, you can eat at any time. There are still many things in Kyoto that I need to go back to solve, so I don't dare to stay any longer," Black Eagle said.
Cai Quan saw that Black Eagle had decided to leave, so he had to get up and get something. He opened the secret compartment, took out the things, and opened it for Black Eagle to see. "Store manager, you see, I have always kept this thing well, and there is nothing wrong with it."
damage."
Black Eagle nodded and said, "Well, it's indeed good. The real thing looks better than the one in the painting." Cai Quan laughed awkwardly and said, "I'm not good at painting, so I can only draw a rough outline." Black Eagle saw what was in the box.
, I have to be surprised that there is such a unique technique in the world to inlay feathers on gold pieces. This thing must be marketable and priceless. Cai Quan is really lucky to have found a treasure for the Treasure Pavilion.
Black Eagle carefully closed the box. Seeing this, Cai Quan found some cloth to wrap the things. When he was about to leave, Cai Quan said, "Manager, I have a heartfelt request. Can I go back to Kyoto?"
Heiying thought for a while and said, "I remember your wife and mother are in Kyoto, right?" Cai Quan nodded and said, "Yes, when I left, my wife had only one son left. Although now every year at the end of the year, she can also
I want to go back to Kyoto, but I still want to be closer to home. Now that I’m getting older, I just want to have my children together.”
"It's human nature to love family. I will tell the Pavilion Master about this. I will write to you as soon as there is news." Black Eagle said and patted Cai Quan on the shoulder.
After hearing this, Cai Quan hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, manager."
When Black Eagle saw it, he quickly took Cai Quan's hand. He was more than ten years younger than Cai Quan and could not afford such a big gift. "This matter is a reasonable request. I will naturally tell it to you truthfully."
Pavilion Master, besides, you have made a great contribution this time, and according to the rules of the pavilion, you should be rewarded."
"Just wait for my news and run this store well. Although it has not been at the bottom in these years, it cannot always stay at the same position. It should grow."
"Yes, Cai Quan has taken the store manager's teachings seriously," Cai Quan said.
"It's not about teachings. I just think you have the ability, so you can't hold it back, right? If you perform well, the master of the pavilion will naturally reward you if he sees it." h
"yes."
"Okay, I'm leaving, you can go about your business."
After Black Eagle finished speaking, he jumped out of the window and left with his things. Cai Quan watched Black Eagle reach the street after a few ups and downs, and was very emotional. "This young man is different. He doesn't take the ordinary path." This chapter has been completed!
