Chapter 192 Shang's Head Office

The next morning, Lu Yun came to Taipei City alone. It was still early at this time, and there were few pedestrians in Taipei City, and most of the shops had just removed the door panels and had not started business yet.

Lu Yun walked along the street with shops and came to a tall and magnificent building located in the center of Beicheng. Below it was a two-story white marble foundation, and dozens of thick vermilion Yongding columns stood on the base as a flat surface. Three high buildings were built on the flat surface, one of which was five stories high in the middle, and the left and right buildings also had three floors, all of which were red walls and black tiles, which were magnificent. Between the buildings, each with flying bridge railings, which were connected to the darkness. Even in the Taipei City, where tall buildings are full of luxury buildings, they are still standing out and looking down on the heroes.

In Lu Yun's view, the luxury and grandness of this building can be compared with the palace. However, it adheres to the regulations everywhere, and makes people unable to find any fault. His eyes patrol the building up and down, and finally frozen on the plaque with blue background and black letters at the gate, "Shang Family Head Office".

This is the headquarters of the merchant in Beijing. It is rich and powerful, and it is fully reflected from this building.

Lu Yun shook his head and sighed, then walked up the smooth stone steps. He saw two vermilion doors had been opened, and four tall and burly guards stood next to a pair of powerful stone lions at the door.

Lu Yun looked at the eight guards and was surprised again. The eight guards were all Xuan-level powerful. Among the seven guards, it is probably only Xiahou Valve and Pei Valve, which are so powerful that they can be so luxurious that they can use Yishui'er Xuan-level powerful people to guard the door.

Apart from the eight Xuan-level guards, there were several smart and smart disciples standing there with their heads down. Seeing the young young master coming up, one of them greeted him and bowed to him, saying neither humble nor arrogantly: "This young master is old, I don't know what's the price?"

"I'm here to come here to ask for a visit to the merchant lady." Lu Yun smiled and bowed, then pulled out a famous thorn from his sleeve.

The man heard that the boy spoke and was about to see his eldest lady, a hint of contempt in his eyes. He saw too many such children of Meng Lang. But he still took the Mingshu politely and prepared to perfunctorily and blocked him outside the door politely.

But when he saw the name on the navy blue thorn and the silver-white clan emblem in the upper right corner of the thorn, he actually put all the perfunctory words back. "Oh, it turns out that it is the famous Mr. Lu!"

"It's just below." Lu Yun nodded and smiled bitterly in his heart: "Are I already known as a famous person? I hope it's not a bad reputation."

"Sorry, it's too early now. My eldest lady hasn't come here yet." The disciple was finished politely, but he apologized to Lu Yun, "Why don't you come back later?"

"It's okay, I'm waiting here." Lu Yun smiled and shook his head, and An Zhiruosu said.

"The autumn wind is cool outside," the door hurriedly turned to his side and said, "Then please invite the young master to have tea inside and wait."

"Thank you." Lu Yun nodded and followed the door into the hall of the Shang head office. He saw that the hall was extremely spacious and decorated with luxurious decoration. People who had never seen the world would be stunned by the magnificence inside as soon as they came in.

Although this is the head office of all Shang's business, there is no service agency in the lobby on the first floor, just to show the merchant's strong financial resources. In a corner of the hall, there are several small rooms separated by rosewood lattice, which are equipped with several tables, and there are all kinds of refreshments and fruits on them, and there are also fine sandalwood, which is obviously for visitors to wait.

The doorman guided him to sit down in a compartment, and there was a beautiful maid who presented him with fragrant tea.

"Young Master, sit down for now. As soon as my eldest lady comes back, the villain will report it immediately." The disciple explained to Lu Yun, then bowed and retreated.

Lu Yun's eyes kept following his back. Through the rosewood lattice, Lu Yun clearly saw him going straight up the stairs, and obviously went up to report the news.

'The so-called young lady is not here, 80% is an excuse.' Lu Yun had already learned clearly before coming that there are indeed many luxurious residences in and outside Luojing, but young lady Shang likes to live in the headquarters. Otherwise, why would Lu Yun jump here early in the morning?

But since he wanted to be artificial, he could only pretend to be unknown.

Listening to the melodious sound of the piano coming from somewhere, Lu Yun took a sip of fragrant tea and looked at the small compartment. He saw books, bamboo slips, vases, plays and other items arranged in a row on the rosewood lattice. The vases were filled with beautiful flowers. The plays and ornaments were exposed in the morning light, with the unique color of patina, which was obviously all things from the ages.

Lu Yunxin took out a scroll of bamboo slips and was surprised to find that it was Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty. He had only read the engraved books of today's people, but had not read the originals of the Han Dynasty. Lu Yun couldn't help but sigh again that even a compartment for visitors to wait was so perfect, and the wealth of the merchants was really at the core. Moreover, this was not only possible with money, but also required a considerable level of cultivation.

After a moment of sighing, Lu Yun looked at the book with relish. Unexpectedly, after enjoying less than a cup of tea, someone was led in and sat down. Lu Yun frowned slightly and looked around, and found that there were three or four visitors sitting in the empty compartments before. Looking at the dress of these people, most of them were merchants, and half were children of aristocratic families like him. Anyway, it was absolutely uncommon people.

However, merchants and merchants are sitting at the same table, and gentry and gentry are sitting at the same table. Even if this is the territory of the largest merchants in the world, they dare not break the rule of "scholars and common people have different seats".

In this era, the people of the gentry always regarded Hansu's son as light as a servant, and were as easy as grass, and would never join him. Even if the common people were in a position of great success and were promoted to noble relatives and important officials, if they did not comply with him and went to the aristocratic race, they would not be treated by the aristocratic race, and they would even be insulted. That is, this is the territory of the merchants, otherwise, as long as there were places where the aristocratic races appeared, the common people would have to retreat.

The one who was invited to sit with Lu Yun was naturally a gentry. The man actually brought a seat cushion with him and placed it on the mat in the compartment, and then sat down. The maid served him tea, but he didn't touch him. He even said to Lu Yun who was holding the tea: "You are too unpretentious. How can our gentry drink the common people's water?"

This was what the servant said in front of the door and the maid. Lu Yun felt blushing when he heard it, but the man looked at it for granted: "Although you are still young, you should be self-reliant, don't lose your face." After a pause, he asked Lu Yun, "By the way, which family are you from?"

"Lu Family." Lu Yun turned his gaze to the book, he didn't want to pay attention to this inexplicable arrogant maniac.

"Lu family..." The man seemed to be interested in him after hearing this, and first introduced naturally: "I am from Xie's clan, and my name is Xie Yu. My second uncle is the manager of the accounting department in the clan. If he hadn't ordered, I wouldn't have come to such a ghost place." Xie Yu seemed to not despise the common people, so he would not have spoken.

Lu Yun originally thought that he was so arrogant that he should be a direct descendant of the family, but when he heard his name and self-introduction, he realized that he was too biased to be the sidelines. It was really no one else who could be so crazy about a sidelines.
