Chapter 16 Unpacking and Rescue the Embarrassment (530 Zhang Yue)
The three girls are the sisters of the Pei family. The older one is Pei You, and the other is Pei Xier, the censor of the censor Pei Yun. The big-eyed girl who accidentally broke the enamel bottle was Pei Minqiu who had just entered Beijing for a few days.
The day after tomorrow is Princess Leping's birthday. This birthday invitation is widely available, and the ministers' wife and daughter can also attend. The three of them will also attend. The three of them discussed how many jewelry to buy in Lai Ren Market. As soon as the three of them finished choosing jewelry, they paid for it. Just when they got up, Pei Minqiu did not stand firm and accidentally touched the cabinet. As a result, an enamel bottle on the cabinet fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
Pei Minqiu heard that a vase costs 5,000 yuan to hang money. She lowered her head deeply, and her pretty face was swollen red with a broken breath. She only had a total saving of 60 yuan to hang money. How could she pay for it?
She was like a frightened little swan, standing timidly in the corner, feeling pitiful.
The Pei family is strict in rules. Generally, each house manages each house and the family will not interfere. Her father is in Wenxi County, his hometown, and it is impossible for her to come to pay for her. Do you want her to find her grandfather?
At this moment, Pei You suddenly said angrily: "This is not possible. You can't say as much as you say. What if you blackmail us?"
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Cornell put a vase in a box and handed it to her, "Girl, where do you want to ask, ask them how much this vase is worth?"
"Of course I have to ask, you can't ask for a price all over the place.
Pei You took the box and said to his two sisters: "You wait for me, I'll go somewhere else to ask."
She turned around and left, but almost collided with Yang Yuanqing. Yang Yuanqing hurriedly stopped. At this time, Pei Minqiu also turned around and saw Yang Yuanqing at a glance. She was stunned for a moment. She blurted out, "It's you!"
Her voice sounded "It's you!... The voice sounded very familiar, and Yang Yuanqing suddenly remembered... Isn't this girl the woman sitting in the carriage in Bashang? Although she had never seen her face, Yang Yuanqing had seen and heard her eyes and voice.
"You are the girl on Bashang... yes!" Yang Yuanqing scratched his head and asked Pei Minqiu, reluctantly pursing her lips. She then lowered her head sadly and whispered: "I caused a big disaster today."
Cornell began to feel bitter in his heart. It turned out that Yang Yunbō knew this girl and this troublesome understanding was troublesome.
"It's fine."
Yang Yuanqing smiled and comforted her, "This Uncle Cornell is a good person, he will not make things difficult for you."
Yang Yuanqing patted Cornell on the shoulder again and said with a smile: "Uncle...yes!"
Cornell's face was so bitter that he almost twisted out the water... What did he say... At this time, Pei You came back, and she asked in the store next door. Her face was very ugly. It was obvious that the result of the question disappointed her. The price she asked was even more expensive than Cornell's price. What should I do?
"Sister, have you asked?" Pei Xier stepped forward and asked quietly.
"Minmei, come here."
Pei You waved to Pei Minqiu, and the three women gathered together. Pei You whispered to them: "The shop next door said... it's worth at least 12,000 yuan. Let's discuss what to do?"
"Sister, let me tell my grandfather! What else can I do?" Pei Minqiu was almost crying.
"We can't tell our grandfather until we have to."
Pei You thought for a while and said, "If it really doesn't work, I will use my dowry."
"Sister, no, you can't let you move your dowry, this is absolutely not possible!"
Pei Minqiu shook her head firmly, "I went to tell my grandfather that I made a mistake and I am willing to take it."
"Think about other ways! Otherwise, we will go to find other sisters to get together." Pei Xier didn't agree with telling her grandfather.
Yang Yuanqing's hearing was very keen. Although the three of them were talking aside, he could hear it clearly. He sighed in his heart. These three little ladies were still too simple and did not understand the worldly ways at all. How could they lose money at the selling price?
Yang Yuanqing knew that the Fuji Kingdom was the Byzantine Empire in the Eastern Rome. He heard Combas say that the goods shipped there were usually ten times the profit. Cornell's enamel bottles cost 10,000 yuan, and the cost was about one thousand yuan. Half of the compensation was five hundred yuan. There was no reason to really pay 5,000 yuan. Cornell was obviously slaughtering others. He asked the girl to take his vase to ask for the price. People could tell him what was going on at a glance, and of course they would cooperate with him to shout.
These three girls are probably the daughters of the Pei family. They are innocent and innocent. How could they beat these cunning Sogdian merchants?
Yang Yuanqing didn't want to be troubled at first, but he knew the girl who caused trouble after all. Since he said hello, if he didn't care, he would be a little embarrassed. Moreover, the girl was pitiful, which made him feel unbearable.
"Uncle Cornell, I'll buy this pair of enamel bottles!" Yang Yuanqing said with a smile.
The three girls turned around together and looked at Yang Yuanqing in surprise. Pei Minqiu knew what was going on and waved his hand in a hurry: "General Yang..."
Pei You had noticed Yang Yuanqing a long time ago. When he heard his sister's tone, he seemed to know this person, so he asked her in a low voice, "Who is this person?"
Pei Minqiu's pretty face turned red, and Qiqiai Ai said, "He is that Yang Yuanqing."
"Oh!" Pei You's eyes lit up suddenly, "It turns out that he is Yang Yuanqing, such a heroic young general. No wonder he could sweep He Ruobi with one move."
That day, because the distance was too far, they didn't see Yang Yuanqing's appearance clearly, but Yang Yuan... Qing's bravery and heroic posture at that time left a deep impression on them, especially Pei You, who admired military generals since she was a child, and she had already regarded Yang Yuanqing as her idol intentionally or unintentionally. When she saw the real person today, she couldn't help but pounding in her heart.
Qi Yuanqing smiled and said, "It's okay, I have a friend who is also a Sogdian merchant. I asked him to bring a pair of the same vases from Nanji Kingdom. You guys go back! I'll solve this."
"General Yang, this is not possible. Such vases are so expensive. I can't bother you." Pei Minqiu still refused.
Although Pei You has no experience in shopping malls, she is very smart. She suddenly realized the name of it. Yes! It is definitely much cheaper to buy it in Nanji Country, why didn't she expect it?
She pulled her sister and whispered: "Let General Yang equip us first, and we will return it to him."
"But how can we get someone to pay for such a large sum of money?"
Pei Minqiu was very anxious. The key was that she had no friendship with Yang Yuanqing, so she just asked for a way out and just met her. How could she let her pay? She knew that Yang Yuanqing happened to encounter this... She couldn't stand the face, and she was embarrassed to ignore it, so how could she accept it with shame.
She bowed to Yang Yuanqing Tingting, "Thank you, General Yang for his righteousness... I appreciate my feelings, but we have solved this matter by ourselves. I will go to find my grandfather now."
The person who tied the bell must be untied. Since Yang Yuanqing knew the other party and opened it again, Cornell had to give this favor, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Combas. Besides, they are Sogdians after all... doing business in a foreign country... try not to offend the local powerful people and give Yang Yuanqing a face. Maybe if you have something to do in the future, you can ask him for help~
"Forget it, three girls, I'll talk to Mr. Yang about this enamel bottle. We can talk to you. We don't have to pay any compensation. You guys go back! Be careful in the future."
Pei Minqiu still wanted to refuse... Pei You pulled her and didn't allow her to say anything extra. People said this to this extent... She would be dumbfounded if she insisted. She bowed to Yang Yuanqing and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help, General Yang, we will definitely pay back the money you gave."
She grabbed Pei Minqiu's hand and whispered: "Minmei, Xier, let's go!"
Pei Minqiu took a few steps, but turned back to Yang Yuanqing, and the feeling of Yingyingqiu was filled with emotion.
Yang Yuanqing nodded to her with a smile, and when they walked away, she smiled at Cornell and said, "Finish, how much do I need to pay?"
"General Yang, forget it, this pair of enamel bottles costs only 900 yuan. I will just go to Constantinople to buy a pair next time."
But Yang Yuanqing gave out sixty Eastern Roman gold coins from the bag, worth 600 yuan, and put them on the table and smiled: "I only have so many, and I can't afford to pay for it if I have more."
After leaving the Bōsi residence, it was noon. Yang Yuanqing came to a large wine shop at the entrance of the West City. The wine shop was called "Drunk Village" and it was four stories high and covers an area of about two acres. The day before yesterday, he and Shan Xiongxin and others drank here and felt good about it.
As soon as he walked to the door, a guy came to greet him warmly, "Customer, go upstairs and have a drink! Today, the shop just entered the Tukuchun in Xingyang. You can't miss the opportunity."
“Is there a seat on the second floor paradise?”
"Yes! There is a seat, please go upstairs."
Yang Yuanqing threw the reins to him and walked to the second floor. It was lunch time and the restaurant was particularly lively. There were more than twenty couches on the second floor, most of which were full of guests, talking about the major events that happened last night.
"I heard that He Ruobi was executed when he assassinated King Jin!"
"What happened to him, why did he assassinate the King of Jin?"
"Who knows? He has always been reckless. He was almost killed several times when he was the late emperor, but the late emperor spared him. This time he met a powerful emperor, and the new emperor would not spare him."
Yang Yuanqing walked through the crowd and found an empty seat by the window to sit down. A guy immediately stepped forward to respond. Yang Yuanqing was not particular about eating and said casually: "A pot of Tukouchun, a plate of steamed cakes with meat filling, and three kilograms of mutton sauce."
"Customers, let's have another fish! The braised Weihe carp in the shop is a unique place in the capital and is not expensive." The guy advised with a smile.
The roasted fish here is good and delicious. Yang Yuanqing had eaten it last time, so he nodded, "Yes, just have one."
"Okay! The guest sits for a while, I'll go and serve you wine."
The guy quickly went downstairs and brought a pot of hot wine in a moment. Yang Yuanqing poured a glass of wine for himself, drinking slowly while thinking about his own thoughts.
Cornell just told him that a Sogdian businessman from Licheng came two days ago. The merchant said that Licheng was re-expanding the city wall, and Yu Juluo personally presided over it. The whole city was very busy and lively inside and outside, which made Yang Yuanqing want to go back. In his heart, Licheng was his home.
In fact, Princess Leping has no friendship with him. What does it have to do with her birthday? It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t go. But if she doesn’t go, she will wipe out the face of King Jin, which makes Yang Yuanqing feel a little disgusted.
Yang Yuanqing drank another glass of wine. The wine was good and tasted very mellow. He could buy some to go back.
While thinking about it, a businessman ran up at the stairs and shouted anxiously: "Do you know that the emperor is going to move the capital!"
This sentence suddenly caused an uproar in the winery, and the people in the winery jumped up and surrounded them.
"Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Even Yang Yuanqing stopped the wine glass, and was a little surprised. Did he decide to move the capital so quickly? No wonder Yang Guang had to deal with Dugu Luo and others overnight last night. Yang Guangli was very good at shooting while the iron was hot and killed He Ruobi, Yuan Zhou and others, so no one dared to object to moving the capital.
Yang Yuanqing suddenly had an idea that he could make a fortune by moving the capital to buy land. He took a sip of wine slowly and thought to himself that this was a good opportunity to make money.
The merchant reported the news and continued to shout loudly: "The morning court has already dispersed. I heard that the Huangmen shìlang Pei Ju proposed the proposal to move the capital, and received unanimous support from ministers such as Su Wei, Niu Hongfei, Pei Yun, Yu Shiji, etc. After the court's third reading, there was no objection. The emperor made a decision on the spot and decided to move the capital to Luoyang.
This news caused an uproar in the wine shop. Most of these wine shops were merchants from the city of Liren. If they moved the capital, they would have a great impact on them, and the noise and scolding suddenly sounded.
Someone shouted, "Where are those Guanlong nobles? Why don't they object? Are they all dead?"
Yang Yuanqing picked up the wine glass and sneered slightly. Of course, he knew the real purpose of Yang Guang's assassination of King Jin, killing the chicken to warn the monkey. He Ruobi was killed, and the two leaders of the Guanlong nobles of Dugu and Yuan were severely injured. Who would dare to oppose Yang Guang's move to the capital? He couldn't help but feel a little proud. This was actually the plan proposed by Yang Yuangu, which coincided with Yang Guang's idea.
He heard the man whisper loudly: "No one of the Guanlong nobles came forward to oppose it. I heard that they opposed the last time, but this time, the entire hall was silent, which was related to their vital interests! But no one actually opposed it."
"If Dugu Zheng and Yuanzhou are killed, Dugu Luo and Yuanshou are over, who dares to object!"
"Everyone, the capital is over. Everyone, go to Luoyang to buy land and houses!"
The cafe was noisy, and at this moment, a person appeared at the entrance of the stairs and looked anxiously. He suddenly saw Yang Yuanqing and was anxious and happy, "Yuanqing, you are indeed here!"
The person who came was burly and had a red hair. It was Shan Xiongxin. Shan Xiongxin walked up and said anxiously: "I'm looking for you everywhere."
Seeing that he was full of anxiety, Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile: "Is there anything important to Brother Shan who is looking for me?"
"What a big deal!"
Shan Xiongxin bowed repeatedly, "Brother! You must help your second brother, just beg you as your second brother.
"What's the matter? Is it so serious?" Yang Yuanqing's smile disappeared, and he felt Shan Xiongxin's anxiety and panic.
"Seriously, very serious! If you step later, my friend will die. You must save him."
