After returning from Zheng's house, Yang Xuangan did not ask Yang Yuanqing's specific situation. He had already received news from his son. Zheng's house had politely rejected the marriage, which made Yang Xuangan really annoyed. This was the father's intention, but the Zheng family did not appreciate it.
Although his wife did not say it clearly, Yang Xuangan also vaguely guessed that the Zheng family despised the Zheng family as a illegitimate child and attached importance to the blood relationship between the legitimate and the illegitimate child. This is the Zheng family's consistent tradition.
Since the Zheng family did not agree, Yang Xuangan no longer mentioned this to Yuan Qing. However, the envoys of the Khan of the Qimin, Khitan, Goguryeo, Silla and other countries have successively entered Beijing to congratulate the new emperor ascended the throne. He is the Minister of the Honglu Temple.
Responsible for reception arrangements, he is very busy and has no time to have a detailed discussion with Yuan Qing.
Early in the morning, Yang Yuanqing left Yang's mansion and went to the metropolitan city. The day after tomorrow it was Princess Leping's birthday. The court invited officials above the fifth rank in Beijing. He also received an invitation, so he did not have to go with the King of Jin.
Yang Yuanqing's du lixing is very strong. He neither wants others to say that he is Yang Su's grandson nor wants to be branded as King Jin. Although King Yang Zhao of Jin has attracted him, he always keeps a certain distance from Yang Zhao.
.
Although Yang Zhao proposed to attend the birthday party of Princess Leping, since Yang Yuanqing agreed to go, he wanted to attend the birthday party as a du Li, rather than becoming Yang Zhao's subordinate official.
Since he wanted to attend Princess Leping's birthday party as a du Li, he had to give a birthday gift. Although Yang Yuanqing brought back a few grassland specialties from the border, he was preparing to give his aunt and Niu Niu. After much consideration, he decided to go to the city.
Buy a gift.
Yang Yuanqing was still wearing his blue cloth robe, with a leather belt tied with a leather belt, and the leather belt was empty. Although he had to give him a purple goldfish bag, he refused to hang it on the leather belt to show his glory. He rode a horse and arrived soon
Urban city.
Compared with Liren City, the goods sold are higher and expensive... They generally supply famous families and nobles, so there are not many stores, only half of the Liren City, and they are also classified according to various industries.
Yang Yuanqing is familiar with the road... He went straight to the jewelry store and found the Baibaozhai Jewelry Store. He was very familiar with this store. The first golden leopard he got back then was sold to the shopkeeper Wu of Baibaozhai. Later, he hunted the golden leopard one after another.
And Yunbao, Baibaozhai, were also looking for a buyer for him... As soon as he arrived at the door, the guy recognized him.
"Oh! Isn't this Brother Yang? I haven't been here for many years and I've grown so tall."
Yang Yuanqing turned over and dismounted and joked: "Baoer, why are you still a guy? Why are Wu Yingli not improving you? Is he here?"
The guy Baoer scratched his head and whispered to Yuan Qing: "You know that skinning ghost, he just cares about himself."
"Haha! This is his usual character... is he here?"
"Here, there are customers selling jewelry, Brother Yang...you are this."
Seeing that Yang Yuanqing did not take prey, the guy didn't know what he was going to come. Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "I'm here to buy two jewelry and want to buy good jewelry. Do you collect gold coins from the whistle here?"
The Fu Kingdom, that is, the Eastern Roman Empire, Sogdian merchants traveled on the Silk Road and brought gold coins from the Eastern Roman Empire to the Central Plains. Because the gold coins of the Eastern Roman Empire were of high gold content, they were very popular in the Sui Dynasty, although they were not the legal currency of the Sui Dynasty.
...But many big merchants collect that one gold coin can be worth ten yuan.
"You can use gold coins in Fuguo, where did you get them?"
"I exchanged it with the Sogdian merchant."
Yang Yuanqing and his friend walked into the store. The store was not big, there were no windows, and there were no public jewelry on the wall... The jewelry here was expensive and generally not taken out easily. Basically, it was a pair of the guy and the customer.
One introduction.
They walked into the inner hall, and there were five or six couches in the inner hall. This was the trading office. Perhaps because it was earlier, there was no one in the inner hall, only the shopkeeper Wu Yingli was receiving a guest selling jewelry.
.
Wu Yingli is Yang Yuanqing's old friend. The first leopard that Yang Yuanqing hunted was sold to this person. Wu Yingli has a nickname in East City, called Wu Pipi. He exploited his family very ruthlessly. How could anyone sell him jewelry?
Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but look at the jewelry seller. This was a young man, who looked twenty-four or five years old, with a medium figure, gentle and elegant appearance. He wore a gray cloth robe and a flat scarf on his head. His clothes and flat scarf looked a little worn.
It can be seen that this is very shabby. He is surrounded by a young lady about six or seven years old. Although she is young, she is pretty and cute. She has a pair of quiet and bright big eyes, a well-behaved and cute nose, a bright red mouth, and she
She was very quiet and sat obediently beside her. She should be a man's daughter. Like her father, she also wore a burlap skirt, but it was clean and tidy, which made people like it.
As soon as Yang Yuanqing sat down, he heard Wu Yingli's professional exploitation knife raise up, "Young master, where did you get your emerald? If the government knew about it, you might be sued."
"This is my ancestral property, what does it have to do with the government? If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't, I'll go to another family."
The man was quite tough and let Wu Yingli's exploitation knife slash. Wu Yingli laughed dryly and said, "Your emerald is good, but you ask for a price too high. I will give you at most 700 yuan. Will you sell it if you want it?
?”
"This shopkeeper, you are too cruel! This pair of bracelets are worth at least two thousand hangs. If I want one thousand hangs, it is already half the price. You have to lower the price again. No, at least one thousand hangs."
Yang Yuanqing looked over and saw a pair of bracelets carved from emeralds on the table. The material was green and crystal clear, with a kind of fine and smooth se, without any miscellaneous style. It was a very precious thing at first glance.
, selling a thousand hangers is indeed not expensive.
Wu Yingli shook his head, "Although your jade bracelet is good, most people really dare not buy it. You should understand what I mean, so I can only pay 700 hangs at the highest. If you don't sell it, I will give it back to you."
The man's face turned slightly red, as if Wu Yingli's words hit him the point. He didn't want to sell it too cheaply, but he urgently needed money, which made it a bit difficult for him to decide.
Wu Yingli had a sharp look and saw that the other party was moved, so he encouraged him again, "How about it, I agree, I will give you the money immediately, and I will give you gold. Now ordinary stores can't afford gold."
The man made up his mind and was about to agree, but Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "I bought it for one thousand yuan."
Wu Yingli almost slipped to the ground as if he was stepping on the air. He turned his head and looked angry. This was his store. Who dared to steal his business from his store... but he recognized Yang Yuanqing at once.
Lived.
"Brother Yang, is it you?"
Yang Yuanqing walked forward slowly and patted his shoulder with a smile... "Old Wu! You have to have a little bottom line in life. If you act too ruthlessly, be careful to peel off your skin."
Wu Yingli knew that Yang Yuanqing was very skilled in martial arts. Now that he is so tall, it will not be simple. If he fights, the few guards in his store are no match for him... He will suffer a great loss. This pair of emerald jade bracelets are extremely expensive.
Everyone in the powerful association is competing for him. He can sell at least six or seven thousand yuan to hang money. He doesn't want to give this big deal to Yang Yuanqing, "This is good! Since Brother Yang has pleaded with him, then he will settle for a thousand yuan to hang money,
We're done deal."
Unexpectedly, the man shook his head and picked up the jade bracelet from the table... "I won't sell it to you, I'll sell it to this young master."
He said to Yang Yuanqing: "One thousand huts, we will make a deal."
Wu Yingli was anxious, "That's it! I'll pay a thousand five hundred hustle, you can sell it to me."
Yang Yuanqing had only one hundred Roman gold coins left. He spread his hands and said helplessly: "I only have one thousand hangings in total, and I can't take out one thousand five hundred hangings."
Wu Yingli was overjoyed, "Then I will buy it, I will summon you one thousand five-year-old... I will give you cash immediately."
The young man glanced at Wu Yingli contemptuously, not ashamed of his character. He handed the jade bracelet to Yang Yuanqing, "I'll sell it to you if it's only a thousand hangs."
Wu Yingli opened his mouth so hard that he couldn't close it for a long time... The regret in his eyes was full of money. For the sake of 300 yuan, he actually lost a big deal with net profit of several thousand yuan. He really peeled off his skin.
The jade bracelet entered Yang Yuanqing's hand and he immediately felt a warm feeling. As expected, he took out a purse and handed it to the young man, smiling and said, "There are 100 gold coins in the country. You can change it when you go to the cabinet shop.
One thousand hangs of money, please take a look."
The young man opened the bag and took a look, then stuffed it into his arms. Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Young Master, don't you count it?"
"No, it doesn't matter if you have more or less. Thank you Mr. Yang."
The young man bowed to Yang Yuanqing, then held his daughter's hand and said, "Yuexian, let's go."
Yang Yuanqing walked to the street with him, bowed behind him and smiled, "Young Master's surname?"
The young man hesitated for a moment, but the daughter he held in his hand said first: "My father is not allowed to be named Xiao, my name is Xiao Yuexian, thank you for your elder brother."
"So it's Mr. Xiao!"
Yang Yuanqing bowed to him with a smile, "I will see you again if you are destined to do so in the future."
"Okay! Goodbye if you're destined to be."
The young man led his daughter and walked quickly towards the city gate, and gradually disappeared into the crowd.
"This person is good!"
Yang Yuanqing secretly praised in his heart. He mopped the pair of emerald bracelets from his arms again. The more he looked, the better he felt. He would feel a sense of warmth when he brought his arms. He originally wanted to buy a birthday gift for Princess Leping, but at this moment he changed his mind.
He decided to give his aunt a pain in his arms, and this pair of bracelets was the best for her.
As for Princess Leping, he had given her favors anyway, and he still had a few dollars on her, so he bought two pieces of silk to serve her birthday.
At this time, Wu Yingli shouted in the store: "Brother Yang, don't blame me for not reminding you that this bracelet is not something that ordinary people can use. There is a line of words engraved in it. You can see it yourself!"
Yang Yuanqing looked carefully at the inner side of the bracelet, and there was indeed a line of small characters engraved, 'The palace of Xiaoliang royal family, Yang Yuanqing was slightly stunned. It turned out that this was a property of the Liang Dynasty palace. Then, this young man named Xiao, was he also a nobleman of the Liang Dynasty.
?
Yang Yuanqing then bought two pieces of silk in the city. The man wrapped it for him. He wrote another famous post and ordered the man to send it directly to Princess Leping's Mansion.
Thinking that tomorrow is Princess Leping's birthday, his clothes were either military uniforms or blue cloth robes, which looked a little shabby. Not to mention how gorgeous they need to be worn, at least they had to buy a decent outfit, he turned around and went to the clothing store.
But after walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something. A bitter smile gradually appeared on his face in his arms. He realized that at this moment, he was already missing nothing.
