My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 230 Department Store (Two in One)

"Second Master, Captain Zhang and the others are back?"

Wei Mu walked into the yard and saw Wei Cheng walking with Cai Yan, standing by the door with a smile, and said with cupped hands.

Wei Cheng raised his head and said casually: "Just come back, let them have a rest, I will go to the guard later."

Wei Mu bowed his head slightly, bowed his hands to the two and retreated.

Cai Yan rolled her eyes and urged, "Husband, since you have something to do, go and do it. I'm fine by myself."

Wei Cheng was stunned, and then pretended to be very hurt, "Yan'er, do you think I'm annoying?"

Cai Yan stuck out his tongue.

At this time, Hao Niang came from the back kitchen with a bowl of ginseng soup. As she walked, she smiled and said, "You don't know how annoying you are. My sister has been annoyed by you these days. The children in the academy We look forward to her going to class every day, and you have to occupy it by yourself."

Today's Hao Niang exudes self-confidence, and the burn scars on her face are almost gone. Thanks to Wei Cheng's disdainful efforts, she found an ancient prescription for scar treatment in ancient books. Although there are still some traces, she has applied light makeup It has been able to completely cover up.

Hao Niang, who had recovered her appearance, was shockingly beautiful.

Even Zhong Chan didn't dare to say that she was prettier than her, and Hao Niang's naturally graceful figure made her even more beautiful. It's a pity that she was used to plain clothes, otherwise she wouldn't know how to be beautiful to what extent...

"What do you mean I'm monopolized? I don't care about her." Wei Cheng's grievance was of course pretended.

Cai Yan also spoke good words for Wei Cheng, but she was still thinking about the children of the college. After all, she had been together for a few months before, and she still had some affection for the children.

Hao Niang handed the ginseng soup to Wei Cheng, held Cai Yan's hand, and suggested: "Sister, actually, you don't need to listen to Brother Wei, as all the women have said, it's good to move around more when you're pregnant, besides you It's not showing up yet."

Wei Cheng retorted: "That said four or five months later, now is the most dangerous period, you don't understand... Come on, Yan'er, I'll feed you soup."

Cai Yan shook her head dumbfounded, and smiled at Hao Niang.

Perhaps because he felt that he had gone too far, Wei Cheng let out a sigh of relief after feeding Cai Yan ginseng soup, "Okay, since you want to go to the academy, then go, but let Xiao Hua follow you."

Xiaohua is Aunt Manhua's daughter, Fei Yao's wife, a wide and fat Weiliqi woman, currently serving in the women's guard formed by Xie Yu, her main task is to accompany and protect Cai Yan when she travels.

"Is it really possible?" Cai Yan was so excited that Wei Cheng sighed repeatedly.

He nodded and said, "Of course you can, but you have to do what you can. You can only teach for two hours a day. If there is too much, I won't obey."

"Hee hee, I listen to my husband." Cai Yan stood on tiptoe and pecked Wei Cheng's face.

Hao Niang covered her mouth and snickered, envious and looking forward to it.

Wei Cheng reflected on himself in his heart, making Cai Yan do such a bold behavior, it seems that she was really wronged a few days ago.

In fact, we can't blame Wei Cheng, he was an orphan, and what orphans desire most is to have a home of their own.

For Wei Shi, he doesn't have much sense of belonging, but the small family with Cai Yan makes him feel warmer.

Now that he knows that he is going to be a father soon, it is normal for Wei Cheng to be more cautious.

It's just that this kind of caution is too selfish and doesn't take Cai Yan's wishes into consideration.

···
Near noon.

Zhang Fei and his party celebrated in the restaurant.

It was only thirteen days before and after this expedition, just in time to come back for the New Year's Eve.

Xu Huang also returned yesterday with [-] city guards, half a day earlier than Zhang Fei, and the big guys made an appointment to get together today.

Hao Kelai Restaurant, Hao Niang's property, has also booked a few restaurants today.

All the five captains of the Longshan Army arrived, and the thirty captains of the City Guards also took their seats. Xu Huang, who was the commander in chief and the warlord, naturally sat at the head, next to him were Tian Feng and Xun Yu.

It can be seen from this that the big guy's respect for the two gentlemen is basically inferior to that of Wei Cheng.

"Come on, Mr. Xun, I offer you a toast."

Zhang Fei took the initiative to stand up. Although he and Xun Yu had disagreements a few times during this expedition, he knew that Xun Yu was a formidable person. If it wasn't for Xun Yu, he would probably have to delay a lot of time to complete the mission of Wei Cheng. task.

Xun Yu is about the same age as Wei Cheng. Because he has a beard, he looks a little old-fashioned, giving people a mature and stable feeling, which makes people feel safe, especially for men who have never studied admire.

"Yes, yes, yes, we also offer a toast to sir." Several Longshan Army commanders stood up at the same time, including Xu Huang.

Xu Huang said: "I didn't have a gentleman to accompany me this time, so I'm not very excited. No, I let Wu Moxie hang around for seven or eight days. If there was a gentleman, maybe we would have returned triumphantly."

Xun Yu knew that Xu Huang was complimenting him, so he smiled and drank a toast.

Seeing this, Xu Huang laughed and did it too. At the same time, he looked at Tian Feng aside, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

He was actually here to make amends for Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei insisted on going his own way, which really made Xun Yu, the superintendent, very embarrassed, but what can he do? Zhang Fei is young and impulsive. Come out and say something nice.

Fortunately, the mission is considered complete. If the mission is not completed, Zhang Fei will take the blame. If he is so impulsive when marching and fighting, is it okay?

Xun Yu knew this well, but he felt very helpless in his heart. After all, he was a latecomer. There was no prestige in the Longshan Army and the City Guards, and no one listened to his words. It seemed that he had to do something to make the soldiers Just be convinced.

Of course Xun Yu would not blame Zhang Fei. A smart person like him would only take the responsibility on himself and try to solve the problem.

Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have never been those who blame themselves or blame others for their mistakes. Only those who constantly reflect on themselves and strengthen themselves can grow gradually and step by step to the throne of the strong.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Tian Feng said with a smile: "You went north this time, did you know that Wang took the opportunity to lead his troops to go north, hoping to slaughter the city overnight?"

Everyone was startled when they heard the words, Xu Huang and others were even more furious.

Zhang Fei slapped the table and stood up, "Is this really the case?"

They had just returned, and the city of Anyi was singing and dancing, and there was no trace of the city being attacked. Naturally, they didn't know that such a thing happened in the city during the time they left.

Xun Yu also frowned slightly, then seemed to think of some key point, frowned and said, "But what did Dong Lianie do?"

Tian Feng smiled slightly, nodded, shook his head again, put down his chopsticks, and said, "It's okay, but the real person behind the scenes is Cao Mengde."

"Cao Mengde?" Zhang Fei's face changed drastically.

He knew that Liu Bei, the eldest brother, and Guan Yu, the second brother, had been hanging out with Cao Mengde all the time.

Seeing this, Tian Feng smiled and comforted him: "Yide doesn't need to worry too much. Brother Xuande is dealing with Sun Jian in Jingzhou at this time. This matter has nothing to do with him."

Zhang Fei's expression softened a little.

Xu Huang frowned and said: "What a Cao Mengde, he failed to borrow troops at the beginning, but now he has his idea on us. I said that Wu Moxie is just a fool. How could he be such a thief? It turned out that he was instructed by an expert. "

Xun Yu frowned in thought, shook his head and said, "No, I know Cao Mengde very well. Although he is a bit quick-witted, he is handsome and talented. He must not be a schemer. He must be someone else if he can make plans to this extent."

Tian Feng laughed and said, "Of course, Brother Wen Ruo's guess is right, there is indeed someone else, and you still know this person."

Xun Yu was stunned.

Tian Feng smiled slightly at him, and said: "Yingchuan Opera Zhicai is also talented."

"Brother Zhicai?"

Xun Yu was shocked, he knew a lot of people in Yingchuan, Xi Zhicai, Guo Fengxiao, he knew them all, it was because of him in history that Cao Cao was able to meet two good talents.

Seeing Xun Yu's expression, Tian Feng smiled wryly and said, "Yes, I don't know why he was recruited by Cao Mengde."

Xun Yu's expression changed, and he thought of another... Guo Jia.

At this moment, there was a festive sound of beating gongs and drums in the street.

"Today at [-]:[-] p.m., Wei's Department Store officially opened. All the local people in Hedong can purchase New Year's goods with their bamboo card household registration."

"At [-]:[-] p.m. today, Wei's Department Store officially opened, and Fanhe Dong's local..."

Many passers-by on the street stopped and listened. Not only the locals paid attention to Wei's news, but also the traveling businessmen who traveled to and from various places were especially concerned.

Knowing that only the locals in Hedong can come to purchase, some businessmen suddenly thought... who would return every local friend and relative.

in the restaurant.

Tian Feng raised his eyes to look at the window, said 'Oh', got up and said: "Everyone, Mr. Tian still has important things to do, if it is inconvenient to stay, please resign first."

Zhang Fei asked curiously, "Sir, what kind of department store are you going to?"

Tian Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, yes, I was drinking with you, and I almost forgot the important matter that the young master told me... Oh, by the way, when the young master returns to the guard in the afternoon, everyone remember to be there on time, especially Gongming and Yi. De, and Brother Wen Ruo."

Xu Huang, Zhang Fei, and Xun Yu stood up and clasped their fists together, and said: "My lord, please be present."

Tian Feng left in a hurry, and everyone was in no mood to drink. Although they wanted to discuss Cao Cao, Wei Cheng invited him in the afternoon to solve this problem. Now that he is free...or go to some department store Look lively?
Several people looked at me and I looked at you, and they all stood up with smiles.

"Go together, go together."

···
Xuanwu Avenue, the most bustling main road in the north of Anyi City.

At this time, a store named [Wei's Department Store] has opened to welcome customers. There are a total of eight stores, and the space with an area of ​​nearly a thousand square meters is already filled with all kinds of goods.

Dozens of teenagers dressed as servants warmly greet customers in the store, and whenever someone enters the door, they will enthusiastically shout: "Welcome."

No matter who it is, they will be infected by such warm hospitality when they enter the door, and their vanity will be greatly satisfied at once.

Yes, there are also shops to welcome customers in this era, but whoever is like this, except for people from aristocratic families, ordinary people do not have such a VIP experience at all.

"Hey, from Lao Tian's family, you are here too!" Many village women who met acquaintances immediately gathered together when they met.

"Yes, yes, I heard the sound of gongs and drums as soon as I entered the city. I followed the search, and I didn't expect there to be so many good things here."

The man held a red padded jacket in his hand, the kind of red padded jacket in the 60s and [-]s of later generations, with many peonies on it.

"Wow, this dress is festive, isn't it precious?"

"It's okay. If you have a cloth ticket, you need 120 renminbi, and if you don't have a cloth ticket, it costs [-] renminbi. I'm going to make one for my Xiu'er, but I don't know if it will be too big."

A young man who looked like a servant happened to pass by, and he leaned over and said, "Auntie, there is a dressing room over there, you can go and try it, it doesn't matter if you buy it or not, the key is to fit it well."

"Why, I can still try it, what if it gets dirty?"

The boy smiled and said: "It's okay, we can wash it if it's dirty, the shelves are all samples, and the ones that are actually sold to you are all brand new."

The boy pointed to the counter not far away. A shopkeeper stooped down and took out a set of brand new cotton clothes to trade to the customer, and then put back the sample in the customer's hand.

"That's great, Xiu'er, go and try it quickly, let's go, mother will accompany you."

The woman pulled the girl beside her and hurried away.

Seeing this, the women in the village became very excited. It turned out that they could still try it on!

At this time, a rough voice sounded, "Mrs. Wuna, please put it down for me. This iron basin is the one I took my fancy first."

Everyone looked back, and saw a big man grabbing a washbasin from a woman. The washbasin was so beautiful that it looked like an old and expensive thing. There was a bright flower in the basin, and the side of the basin was also festive. Noble red edge.

The woman was tall and thick, and she asked, not to be outdone, "Why did you fall in love with it first, and you paid for it?"

Seeing this, the boy hurried over, pulled the man to persuade him: "Brother, brother, don't, we still have a lot of this pot in stock, this is a sample, look over there."

Everyone looked in the direction of the young man's finger, hehe, a carriage stopped at the door, and several young men were sweating profusely moving the goods on the carriage down, and there was a stack of basins on it.

The big man had a resentful expression on his face, and hurriedly apologized to the boy with fists. Seeing this, the woman hurriedly handed the washbasin to the big man, ran over to get a brand new basin, and went to pay the bill.

A man dressed as a traveling merchant at the door hurriedly grabbed the boy and asked, "Hey, brother, how much is that pot?"

The boy responded enthusiastically: "If you have a physical ticket, it only costs 270 Wen. If you don't have a physical ticket, it will be more expensive. It will cost [-] Wen."

"Ah, so expensive!" The merchant smiled bitterly.

The boy explained: "There is a reason why you are expensive. This pot is not only durable, but also can be used for cooking as a pot. Think about it, when you go out, there is such a big iron pot, which can be used as armor and It can be used as a cooking utensil, and it can also be used for bathing and holding water, how convenient it is, the most important thing is that it looks good, especially suitable for women."

The boy's eyes were sharp, and he saw that there was a woman following You Shang. As soon as he finished speaking, the woman pulled You Shang and whispered to each other, obviously very fond of the washbasin with flowers.

Of course, apart from cotton coats and washbasins, there are many other good things in the store, otherwise I dare not call it a department store.

The things in this store were all purchased by Wei Cheng through the newly opened trading company of Modern Time and Space. My brother-in-law was very efficient and sent the things to Wei Cheng's hometown in only three days.

Wei Cheng suffered a lot, and moved back and forth hundreds of times before moving here, just to enrich the material conditions of this era.

The wisdom of Chinese people is infinite. With reference objects, Wei Cheng believes that those profit-seeking businessmen and aristocratic families will be able to imitate these things quickly.
