Chapter 453 469. Help from colleagues 47
Yun Tutu didn’t know that such an episode would happen after they left. Yun Tutu turned on the stealth mode again and sped towards the imperial city.
We waited until daybreak and saw more people walking on the road before we found a place to rest.
In this way, they rested during the day and traveled at night, and arrived at the edge of the imperial city at midnight the next day.
Looking at the towering city walls, Yun Tutu parked the car and lined up with Zhang Yaowen and others to enter the city early the next morning.
The inspection for entering the city is more stringent here. Even if they have household registration, they still have to go through some questioning.
The imperial city is indeed the center of power. Both the mental outlook of the people and the architecture are somewhat different.
"When we get here, there are very few people wearing patched clothes," Yun Tutu said as he walked and looked around, "but it seems that the treatment of women here is more stringent."
They had already walked into the city for more than half an hour, but apart from young children, some old women and young ladies, they had not seen any people.
"Here we advocate not leaving the front door or going out the back door," Zhang Yaowen asked a lot. The requirements in the provincial capitals below were not so strict, but this imperial city seemed a bit abnormal.
Yun Tutu stroked her wig. Fortunately, she had been prepared and dressed in men's clothes.
As a person from the later generations, although Chen Yuxi has also taken care of herself, her age is there after all, so people were just curious and glanced at her without paying much attention.
They didn't come here for fun this time, but to find a good buyer and clear out the goods in their hands.
On the way here, Zhang Yaowen also discussed with Yun Tutu, and finally decided not to deal with those dignitaries, but to find the imperial merchant.
If they ask about high-ranking officials, the common people will definitely be on guard, after all, those are people they cannot afford to offend.
But if you want to know who is the richest businessman, then these people can rank them for you.
However, with a very small cost, I was able to find out that the wealthy businessman Xu Jiang had a good business reputation and was kind and charitable, so many people liked to buy things from his store.
As for other businessmen, there will always be problems or shortcomings of one kind or another.
Chen Yuxi, "It has such a good reputation, could there be something behind it?"
Zhang Yaowen knew her concerns, but he had also thought about them, "Reputation is not something that can be built overnight. If he can be recognized by ordinary people, it means that he is a decent person.
It is natural for businessmen to love profits, after all, they have to make a living from this.
It seems that Xu Jiang is very popular among the people in the Imperial City, so we can meet him later."
In ancient times, although there were people who relied on public opinion to control the trend of the times, in this imperial city where powerful people gathered, a businessman probably didn't have the courage to falsify information to create a good reputation for himself.
They had just found out that merchants could not take the imperial examinations to become officials, so a good reputation would only help him attract more business.
As a wealthy family, it is impossible for the Xu family to keep pretending like this for decades.
Yun Tutu thought so too. Anyone can pretend for a year or two, but if you pretend for a lifetime, even if it is real, it will become a reality.
The Xu family’s mansion was easy to find. Perhaps because it was a merchant house, the gate was rather simple, even inferior to the official residences they had passed by before.
The gatekeeper saw three strangers and asked with a smile, "What can I do for you, three distinguished guests?"
Although these three were dressed simply, he had never seen the fabrics of their clothes before, not to mention the aura they exuded, which showed at first glance that they were not ordinary people.
I don't know why the three of them came here on foot, but in this imperial city where many nobles gathered, he didn't dare to act pretentiously, and hurried over to greet them. "Is this Xu Jiang, the residence of Master Xu?"
Although the big words "Xu's House" were standing there, Zhang Yaowen still asked politely.
"Yes," the man answered more carefully. He was here to see the master. "Our master just went out to inspect the business. I wonder which house you are from?"
The man had secretly instructed the boy who was leaning out of the gate to notify the steward.
"We have a business deal and would like to discuss it with Master Xu. Could you please inform him?"
The man straightened up slightly. It turned out that he was also looking for grandpa to do business. He was just an ordinary merchant.
Zhang Yaowen and the others noticed the change in this man's attitude, but they didn't take it seriously.
People at the bottom of society always have their own way of survival. When dealing with high-ranking officials, they have to be extremely careful to avoid bringing disaster to themselves and their masters.
"I see. Please go to the lobby to have some tea. If you have any visiting cards, please give them to me and I will definitely pass them on."
Visiting card? Zhang Yaowen looked at Yun Tutu, who shook her head slightly. She didn't have that.

"I came in a hurry and was not prepared at the moment," Zhang Yaowen took out an electronic watch from his arms. Although it was relatively cheap, it was a treasure here.
"Please pass this to Master Xu. This is a small part of the deal we negotiated with him."
The big man stretched out his hand and took the thing respectfully, but the touch of it and the needle that made him jump made him swallow his saliva. Wow, who is this person? He actually gave him such a treasure.
Also, how does this thing move when no one is touching it?
Even though the big man was very curious about the numbers and dots above, he didn't dare to ask more questions.
"Please tell your master that we will come to visit at this time tomorrow morning. Please help convey the message."
"This is what I should do," the big man did not take his eyes off the watch. He believed that when the master saw such a treasure, he would be willing to give the other party some time.
The Xu family's housekeeper came very quickly, but only saw the backs of Zhang Yaowen and the others as they walked away.
"Butler Chen," the big man handed the watch to Butler Chen with both hands respectfully, "This is what a few distinguished guests left behind. They want to discuss business with the master and will come to visit again at this time tomorrow."
When Butler Chen took it, his hands were shaking a little. He had followed his master around the country and was knowledgeable. Even if this thing was presented as a tribute to the palace, it could be said to be a treasure.
"They just left the things and left?" Butler Chen found it a little unbelievable. How could such a treasure be given away so easily?
"Yes," the big man hadn't noticed anything wrong here.
"Butler Chen, why don't you notify the master right away?"
Seeing that Butler Chen's hands were shaking, Dahan was afraid that the butler might break the treasure he had just obtained.
"Yes, I will inform the master immediately. By the way, where do they live?"
“…I forgot to ask…”
"Tell me, what can you do? I asked you to guard the gate because I thought you were smart, but you made such a big mistake." Butler Chen pointed at the big man, his tone full of blame.
