Chapter 100: It’s me, the wealthy family
"Can you ask the sir to speak upstairs?"
The madam, who had a white jade-like skin color, thought Gu Liubai was a rich man who came to have fun, so she called him a little husband. However, when she saw this glass sign, not only did her expression become solemn instantly, but her name changed.
Gu Liubai nodded without saying a word and agreed.
The madam, who had a white skin color, led Gu Liubai to the second floor alone.
The corridor on the second floor is winding and twists and turns, connecting several courtyards along the terrain.
The courtyards are very elegant, but the buildings seem particularly complex. The rooms are either far apart or more than ten more rooms are crowded together.
The madam led Gu Liubai into a elegant room. There was another door inside the elegant room. After pushing it open, there was a different world. There was actually a small courtyard inside.
The room in the innermost courtyard is half embedded in the mountain. In fact, if it were not for seeing it with your own eyes, Gu Liubai would not be able to see it outside. In fact, this Wuyou Cave was a small mountainside built by several courtyards using the terrain.
It looks like there is no mountain outside.
The courtyard inside seems to be in the mountains.
This is really ingenious.
There was a spring water pulling along the iron chain and falling like pearls on the side of the house.
The spring water seeps out of the mountain and actually rises with heat.
In the low place of the spring, there were actually several broad-leaved trees that Gu Liubai had never seen before, which were still green.
The madam pushed open the door of the room and lit some incense wood, then asked Gu Liubai to sit down on the futon.
Between the two, there was a tea table made of rocks, with purple bamboo and wood leading the spring water to the tea table, and the moss in the center of the tea table grew lush.
The spring water surrounds the cracks of the tea table and seeps into the bottom of the tea table, which has a unique artistic conception.
The brothel took the tea directly, ignited the nuclear charcoal with a small red mud stove. When he started cooking the tea, he smiled and said, "Do you sir, don't you know the purpose of this cover order?"
Gu Liubai said calmly: "Yes!"
"I think my teacher's cultivation is not low, so why not try to apply a wisp of true energy into the pattern on the back." The madam's mother said casually, and the true energy glow poured into the small red mud stove in front of her like a thin snake, and the dim charcoal fire suddenly became prosperous.
She showed this move and still looked at Gu Liubai with a smile.
The boy who pretended to be calm still had no change in his expression on his face.
Gu Liubai still took out Guo Beixi's sterling silver square card first. He wiped his fingers over the flowers on the back. As the true energy penetrated, the front that looked as smooth as a mirror gradually appeared, as if many fireflies were slowly floating out.
The fluorescence gradually converges into three words "honest man".
Gu Liubai was a little confused.
"This cover order is a certificate for entering the cover order. This 'honest person' is the pseudonym of the token owner. He can only use this name in the cover order." The madam looked at the calm young man and smiled.
"What is a curtain-blocking ceremony?" Gu Liubai asked helplessly.
The spring water boiled in the small stove in front of the brothel was slightly boiling. While making tea for Gu Liubai, she explained in detail, which was almost the same as what Li Xizhi told Pei Yunji.
"Is there such an interesting secret exchange meeting?"
Gu Liubai suddenly had the idea that the people in Chang'an City could play.
"Then when I took out this token at the beginning, how could you pretend to be like you don't know what it is?" He looked at the mysterious pimp mother whose true qi cultivation seemed to be stronger than him, and couldn't help asking.
"First of all, no one except the boss knows my true identity, and does not know what I have to do with the cover art." The madam said seriously: "If you hadn't taken out the boss's token, I would never admit that I knew these things, and it would be even more impossible for me to be honest with the cover art, and it would be even more impossible for you to know that I am the shopkeeper in charge of the cover art here."
Gu Liubai nodded.
The madam continued, "Secondly, as far as I know, there are not many people who have received this silver curtain order so far. These people should not match your age, and this thing should not belong to you."
Gu Liubai pondered and said, "I think this brand is of grade difference?"
The brothel explained patiently: "Yes, just like the border troops accumulate military merits, providing useful information at the curtain meeting can accumulate credibility. Only those with more than a thousand reputations can obtain this silver curtain order."
Accumulate credibility just like accumulating military merits?
City can play!
Gu Liubai asked calmly: "What are the benefits of accumulating this credibility?"
"In addition to the high credibility of the information he provided and the transaction price is 30% higher than the copper curtain order, owners above the silver curtain order can also obtain a certain amount of share from the income of the curtain order." The madam looked at Gu Liubai as if he had never seen the world, and his eyes were a little strange.
"Then you saw this curtain order and said it was the boss. This thing was the boss's token?" He took out the glass curtain order, took a deep breath, and asked seriously.
The madam's face looked solemn in an instant, "The ordinary pilgrim's cover order is divided into four grades: gold, silver, copper and iron. This part is not among the fourth grade. It is called the Master Order, and it represents the owner."
"Master Order." Gu Liubai said calmly: "It means literally?"
“That’s exactly what this means.”
The madam said seriously: "Even if the owner of the Silver Curtain Order and the Gold Curtain Order can only obtain a very small share of the benefits of the Curtain Order. But you are different. You are the owner of the Curtain Order, and you are the owner of the Curtain Order, and its income is yours."
Gu Liubai was shocked and speechless.
He is naturally much more concerned about various businesses and money than Pei Yunqiu.
When the madam explained to him what the curtain siege was about, he immediately thought that the entire benefit of the curtain siege should be quite high.
Those who want to join the meeting must first pay 50 stakes of copper coins. Moreover, the curtain-blocking Dharma Assembly sounds like a low elimination rate. Just collecting these 50 stakes of copper coins should be a good income. What's more, all transactions in the curtain-blocking Dharma Assembly must be handled by the person in charge of the Dharma Assembly.
In this way, this curtain siege is like a money house. If it is handed over to someone like him, the money accumulated in this curtain siege should be able to do a good job of making money.
As a result, this curtain-blocking ceremony was created by his mother?
I am now the owner of this curtain-blocking Dharma Assembly?
Gu Liubai rubbed his somewhat stiff face and finally said something, "Do you recognize this token or recognize someone?"
"The tokens of ordinary pilgrims cannot be transferred. The curtain sanctuary naturally has verification methods to determine whether the person attending the sanctuary is himself. But this kind of master order only recognizes the token but not the person. Whoever holds this token in front of us big shopkeepers is the boss." The madam looked at the childish boy, and his eyes were filled with emotion, "It has been twenty years since I became the storekeeper of the curtain sanctuary, but it was the first time I saw the master order and the first time I saw a boss coming to my door."
Gu Liubai's heart beat violently in a bad mood. He looked at the pimp's eyes, "Do you know who the original owner of my token was?"
"We naturally cannot know how mysterious the identity of the boss is." The madam smiled bitterly and said, "Since this master order is such a rule, this means that the boss cannot know his identity from the beginning."
Gu Liubai was silent for several breaths before speaking again: "What do you mean, now this token is mine. If you regard the curtain siege as a business and a business name, then I am the owner of the curtain siege. You should be my shopkeeper?"
The brothel nodded and said, "Yes."
"I am the owner of the Curtain Dharma Assembly, and the Curtain Dharma Assembly is mine?" Gu Liubai was in a very complicated mood.
The brothel shook his head this time, "It's not all yours."
Gu Liubai was stunned, "What else do you have to say?"
The madam explained seriously: "There are three owners of the curtain ritual, namely the three people who created the curtain ritual that year. You each account for 30% of the benefits of the curtain ritual, and the remaining 10% are those who perform extremely well in the curtain ritual, such as the owners of the silver token and gold token."
Gu Liubai's brows frowned into the character "Sichuan".
Three bosses!
The other two people on par with his mother must be the ones who are close to gods in his mother's mouth.
Then this curtain-blocking Dharma Assembly can survive well in the Tang Dynasty. It is not guaranteed that one of the other two bosses has the surname Li!
Although this glass token is neither gold nor silver, its gold content seems to be too high.
"I only recognize the token but not the person, so the other two master orders are also like this?" He couldn't help asking.
The madam poured him another cup of tea and said, "It's true."
"Aren't you afraid of being snatched directly?" Gu Liubai muttered.
The madam smiled.
Gu Liubai saw what she meant in her smile.
Apart from him, the other two bosses seemed to have no such concern at all.
"Even if you are not afraid of being robbed, this material is too easy to bump and break." Gu Liubai smiled embarrassedly.
"You can try to apply some true qi, but you must be careful enough." The madam said seriously: "Even if the true qi is injected too violently, it will indeed explode."
“…!”
The speechless Gu Liubai carefully applied a trace of true energy.
The Glazed Token gradually brightened up.
It did not ignite the glow like the fireflies like the sterling silver token of Guo Beixi, but the colors of the whole body suddenly rotated without warning and converged.
Its inner part is like countless crystal lattices rotating, from the first two colors to countless colors.
Countless beautiful colors are constantly changing inside, just like countless mysterious worlds are constantly born and destroyed.
"Short after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, vendors from the sea brought a fun little thing called a kaleidoscope." The madam stared at the colors, and her jade-like face was filled with emotion. "The small color debris can change into various patterns and colors, but the viewer must face the cylinder. Some of the three owners thought this thing was fun, but they felt uncomfortable looking at a cylinder, so they refined three such master orders."
"The master makes him extremely gorgeous, but he is indeed very fragile."
The madam took a deep breath and said, "The boss left a message at that time, saying that anything that seems beautiful in the world is actually very fragile and must be taken care of with extra care. If he is the owner of this curtain siege, but he cannot even take care of this token, let alone let alone continue the curtain siege."
