It was already noon when the Prime Minister and Governor Qi stayed in the palace, and the emperor had something to say. So I whipped the wind first.

After leaving Donghua Gate, I pulled the reins and said to Buhui and Jiugui Zhengxiao: "Let's go! Dashilan! Go and see our jewelry store!"

The two of them didn't understand why, but I was very angry. Such a fun thing made the two girls come out first!

With the map of the capital in my memory, I found Dashilan all the way. Wow! This Dashilan was so lively during the Ming Dynasty?

In my impression, the original site of Dashilan was built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, that is, 1420. At the beginning, it was not called Dashilan.

The earliest recorded Ming Dynasty Zhang Zhupo's place name "Dashilan Hutong Collection" does not contain the first recorded title of "Dashilan". There are only Langfang Headlines, two Langfangs, three Langfangs and four Langfangs in the west of Qianmenwai Road. Among them, four Langfangs are located in the current location of Dashilan. It can be seen that the place name Dashilan was not yet located in the early Ming Dynasty.

Until the first year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, in order to manage social security in the capital, wooden fences were set up at the entrances of various streets and alleys in Beijing. The fences were funded by residents of the location. From then on until the end of the Qing Dynasty, more than 1,700 fences were built on the streets of Beijing.

Among them, the four fences of Langfang were funded by merchants and were particularly large, so they were called Dashilan. Over time, Dashilan replaced Langfang four fences and became the official name of this street.

I rode on the not-wide street, deeply attracted by the excitement, so I simply got off the horse and walked slowly to watch. The hawking sounds came one after another, and the one who shouted the most was the candied haws!

I glanced at it. The big hawthorn was wrapped in thick syrup, which was sweet when it smelled. I loved eating candied haws in my previous life. When I saw it, I really wanted to buy skewers to try it! But due to my current status as a third-rank official, I was really embarrassed, so I could only stand and swallow a few saliva.

Buhui followed me next to me, and the horse had already been handed over to the person to follow me. Seeing my expression, I knew that I loved sweets since I was a child, so I smiled slightly, but walked up to buy two of the largest candied haws, and asked the seller to use sugar-coated seals, and then wrapped them in lotus leaves.

I was extremely surprised and didn't regret it and insisted on it! So I endured my saliva and continued to leave.

There are so many people in the front tray, what are you doing? I got closer and saw, OK! It’s a seller of soy sauce!

Speaking of this bean juice, I guess it has a history of three to four hundred years, so I was puzzled. Why do people in the capital love to drink bean juice so much? They also regard drinking bean juice as a kind of enjoyment.

It is said that the first time I drank bean juice, the slurry smell really makes it difficult to swallow, but when I squeeze my nose and drink it twice, the feeling is different. Some people are even addicted and search everywhere, and they have to drink it even if they are queuing up.

"A Miscellaneous Poems of Yandu Food" says: "The dross can be made into porridge, and the flavor of the old pulp is thin and thick. There is no difference between men and women, and one cup of sour salt is suitable for each taste." He also said: "If the taste is beyond the sour and salty, the food knows it, which is extremely exquisite."

But no matter how amazing he said, I just don’t like to drink it! I feel uncomfortable when I smell it! I can eat two of the fried scorched circles.

Opposing the smell of bean juice, I turned my head and saw from a distance that behind a bunch of large food stalls, in the cluster of shops with small buildings, a green sign hanging high: "Qingyu Pavilion"!

Didn’t you find this? I smiled and walked towards Qingyu Pavilion. This small second floor is not big, but it is very exquisite. From glazed tiles to red painted columns, all of which are clean and tidy and colorful.

When I got closer, I saw a couplet hanging!

The first couplet is: The pearls and treasures are matched with the fairy Chang'e Yuexian.

The second couplet is: Giving a lady and a beauty in the hall is more beautiful.

Horizontal draft: Exclusive courtesan!

Oh, wow! This couplet is simply vulgar! But then I thought, vulgarity is a great elegance. I originally did a golden and jade business, so don’t pretend to be a school! It’s great! I happily raised my foot and walked through the threshold.

Oh! There are so many people! Inside and out, men and women are crowded, and there are people at every counter! I got closer and saw that they were all young men and women from the capital, who chose the style there and paid a deposit.

I turned around twice, and a little girl came up and called Young Master! I turned my head and saw that this girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a green short jacket and purple embroidered shoes in the Qingyu Pavilion. She looked very smart and had a nice voice.

She held a booklet and handed it over with both hands and said, "Young Master! Are you buying gifts for the young lady in the mansion? The goods in our Qingyu Pavilion must be the best in the capital!"

I found it interesting, and then asked, "What are the good things you have here!"

But the little girl said, "My name is Xin'er, I don't know the young master's surname?"

I held back my smile and said, "Don't let your surname be grandson!"

Xin'er clapped her hands and said, "Young Master actually has the same surname as my boss! The owner said that when Sun comes to shop, he can enjoy a 10% discount as long as he shows his waist card!"

I almost didn't spit out a mouthful of saliva. The two girls Qinglian and Yuhe are really good at it! *'s small salesmen are so good at it! OK!

I took out the famous brand I had when I entered the palace and looked at Xin'er. The word "Sun" on it was a huge character, but on the back was my name and position, which I did not show.

Seeing this, Xin'er said more politely: "It turns out to be an official! Xin'er salutes you!"

I cleared my throat, tried my best to suppress my smile and said, "No gift! Let's take a look at your top-notch guy!"

Xin'er smiled and said, "What a good thing!" As she said, she opened the picture album, pointed to the ring on the first page, and said, "Sun Daguan! This is the signboard in our store! A rare pearl from Nanyang! Look at the quality of the pigeon eggs! With seven cents of gold, three cents of silver, and made into a pendant, or necklace, it must be very pleasing to the beauty!"

Before I could speak, Xin'er continued, "And our master is from Britain. It is said that the workmanship of the Queen of Sand White whom I used to make jewelry for them is absolutely no problem! Master, what are you hesitating about?"

I asked seriously again, "Can you need a few pearls?"

Xin'er pretended to be mysterious and said, "Young Master, the meaning of these different numbers of the team is different. This is a matter of particularity, so you can't send it randomly!"

I said wonderingly, "Oh! What's the point?"

Xin'er said: "It depends on who you give to you! It is best to give to your wife one, two, four, and ten. It means one's own heart, two love each other, and perfect for life and life!"

I spit out a mouthful of blood, and Xin'er continued to say mysteriously: "If you give it, it's better to have seven!"

I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and asked, "What do seven pills mean?"

Xin'er smiled like a little fox and said, "It means to secretly love you!"

I: "..." At the same time, I stretched out my thumbs to Xin'er! Then I said: "Get me a pendant of seven beads!"

Xin'er smiled and said, "What a good thing! This kind of product happens to be a finished product, so I'll bring it to you!"

After saying that, he went there. I turned around. Nine Ghosts Masayoshi and Buhui were smiling secretly. Buhui asked me: "Qi Lan, who are you going to give to!"

I thought about it, yes, Yuan, Lan, Murong Qin, well, although Qinglian and Yuhe are the bosses, I have to express my feelings! Xiner is doing well, so I will give her a reward! So when Xiner comes back, I asked her: "Do you have the same model?"

Xin'er frowned and said, "I can't tell that the young master is still a passionate seed. How many strings are you going to want?"

I said speechlessly: "Six strings!"

Xin'er was speechless and didn't want to lose my big customer, so she asked me to sit at the counter inside for a while, and took a look at the same wooden carving box.

When I saw it, it was good. The box of agarwood and the cover of Shujin. When I opened it, the pearl strings were evenly made and had excellent texture. I was very satisfied. I smiled and said, "How much does it cost in total?"

Xin'er said: "The price of a string is forty taels of silver, and six strings is fortie 240 taels. You are Sun's family, and you have a 10% discount. If you buy so many, I will make the main price of 85% off! In the end, it's 204 taels in total! I don't want the fraction, so I will charge you 200 taels!"

I turned around and asked if I wish I wished a ingot of gold. This was rewarded by the emperor just now, and there were many more. This ingot was enough to pay the payment for the goods. I smiled and said, "If you have more, you will reward you!"

Xin'er happily took it and said with a complicated expression: "Although sir, he is very generous! Alas, man!"

I couldn't help but squirt another mouthful of blood. After enduring it, I asked again: "Are there any more high-end ones in addition to the signature style?"

Xin'er jumped and said, "Yes! Young Master! We recently entered a batch of good sapphires from the barbarians, yes, the place named Mosanbik. Do you want to take a look?"

I was surprised and said, "Oh! Is there such a good thing? Then I'll give me a pendant in the style I just now!"

Xin'er frowned and said, "Young Master is such a rich man! Such a good gem is made in such a simple style! But as long as you like, we can do it! But..."

Xin'er pondered for a moment and said, "This is a rare model. If the young master wants it, you can pay some deposit and come back to get the finished product in ten days!"

Before I could speak, a female voice said, "Don't wait ten days, there will be the best one now!"

Xin'er heard the sound and turned around and shouted, "Big Boss! Second Boss!"

When I turned to look, it was Qinglian and Yuhe. When they saw me, they smiled and bowed, "Sir!"

I said teasingly: "Big Boss! Second Boss!"

Qinglian smiled and said, "What do you need to do business? Why don't you say anything when you come?" As she said that, she turned around and said, "This is our boss! You still don't clean up the distinguished guest room and receive the boss!"

Xin'er stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Who knows that the boss is so young!" She ran away.

I smiled and shook my head. Following Qinglian, Yuhe entered and went up to the second floor. The reception room was not big, but it was very elegant when tidying up. I nodded and praised, "You are intent!"

Qinglian and Yuhe quickly thanked: "Everything here belongs to Mr.! Without you, we are still serving guests in Shandong!"

As he said that, his eyes turned red again.

I waved my hand and said, "Don't mention this matter again!" Then I smiled and said, "Your creativity is very good and you do it well! Just let it go in the future, I support you!"

The two of them thanked each other very much. The shopkeeper brought in a brocade box, Yuhe took it and delivered it to me.

I opened it and saw a blue-light pendant lying inside! The sapphire is long octagonal, inlaid with gold and silver edges, and reflecting the hazy blue light in the sun, which makes people feel moved. It is such a top-notch good thing!

Qinglian smiled and said, "Sir, this is the raw stone brought back by our sister Lan from Mosanbik. After processing, it was carefully crafted by Holmes. It was originally planned to be the treasure of the store. If Mr. likes it, we will create a ruby ​​store again!"

I nodded and smiled, "Actually, I'm useless, it's just fresh!"

Qinglian said: "Sir, everything here is yours, you don't need to explain!"

I asked, "What's the name of this pendant? How much did you estimate?"

Yuhe replied: "The style of the pendant is called the Tears of the Sea! The estimated price is more than one thousand taels!"

I smiled and asked Buhui to take out a few gold ingots and hand them to Yuhe. Seeing that they were about to refuse, I smiled and said, "This is business! The boss is no exception!"

The two of them gave up. I thought about it, turned to Xin'er and said, "Little girl, take out three of the pendant you just now."

Xin'er didn't know what to do, so she chose three of the six pearl pendants and handed them to me. I stood up and gave them to Qinglian. Yuhe said one by one, "I'm just my little intention." The two of them closed their eyes with redness.

I handed the last one to Xiner and said, "I did a good job! I would like to reward you. Keep doing good things carefully!"

Xin'er shouted, "I have it too!" Finally, she smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes. She hugged the box and said, "I also said that sir is a big radish in the heart!"

Everyone in the room laughed.

I was about to speak when I suddenly heard a mess of noise on the first floor, as if someone was scolding something! I looked at Qinglian in confusion, and she shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

I waved my hand and a few people followed me and walked downstairs quickly.
Chapter completed!
