Raiders of the favorite concubine of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 156
After a while, there was a commotion outside, and a few sharp-eared people had already run out, and the white money was scattered all over the street. How could such a beautiful event like a pie in the sky be missed?Baixiangju is already empty, everyone is scrambling to pick up money, the corners of my mouth are slightly raised, the habit of being greedy for small things really has a long history.

It can be seen that the shopkeepers are very strict in rules, everyone stretched their necks but no one moved rashly, I slowly stepped forward and asked the shopkeeper: "I wonder if the shopkeeper has time to answer my question now?" ?”

The shopkeeper's eyes moved, he probably understood it, and looked at me with a little annoyance: "Young master, the shop is open for business, why do you make things difficult for me?"

"I don't understand what the shopkeeper said. I just asked for a long time and you didn't bother to answer. Who is embarrassing whom?" Before the shopkeeper opened his mouth, I handed over a silver ticket, 1000 taels of silver. It can all come down.

"Young Master, this is it?" The shopkeeper is not a person who is open to money, but seeing that I don't seem to be maliciously finding fault, his tone softened a little.

"Today, I reserved this store. I want these spices, and the rest is my compensation." There are not many spices in the store, and they look so delicate that I can't help but enjoy them.

"My lord, with all due respect, you really don't have enough money, so why don't you collect the money, and ask any questions quickly, the shop is still open for business!" the shopkeeper said helplessly.

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, I really had the urge to find a place to drill down. It was really embarrassing to flaunt my wealth and hit a snag.I frowned slightly, what's the price of these spices? 1000 taels of silver was not enough, so I turned my eyes away in embarrassment, but I caught a glimpse of the price on the side. Such an ordinary bottle cost 20 taels of silver. saliva.

Of course, I haven't forgotten my original intention. I looked like the shopkeeper and said: "Since the shopkeeper said so, I can't force it anymore. Xiaosheng just wants to know the name of the boss of Baixiangju."

"My lord, don't make it difficult for us. We are all breadwinners. We don't dare to talk about the boss's business casually." The shopkeeper said it smoothly.

"To be honest with the shopkeeper, maybe the boss of Baixiangju is an old friend of mine. How about this? Let me say a few words first. If there is nothing wrong, can the shopkeeper answer my questions?" I said sincerely, if the shopkeeper He looked at me thoughtfully, neither agreeing nor rejecting.

"She is an extremely beautiful woman from the south of the Yangtze River. The prescription of this spice is her ancestral prescription," I said while looking at the shopkeeper, and saw that he was not wavering at all. It seems that these ingredients are not enough. Meng, I can only try my luck, "Your boss calls you Yanran?" In fact, I have no idea in my heart, Yanran is somewhat resistant to her real name, and I don't know if she will get some for herself.

A look of surprise flashed across the shopkeeper's calm eyes. It seemed that I spelled it right.

"How can I meet her?" I asked straight to the point.

"My lord, even if you are familiar with the boss, I have nothing to say." The shopkeeper is really not ordinary stubborn. I can only fight to the end for a person like him. I just grabbed a chair and sat towards the door. Next, he took a breath and said calmly: "If you don't tell me, I can't force you, but you don't want to do business in this store. I'll just sit here and wait for your boss to come."

Doing business is most afraid of Australians, and this capital is crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and one of them might be a dignitary.I dress expensively and spend a lot of money, so they are naturally afraid.

"Well, son, you must be in love with our boss, right?" A crisp voice sounded, with a pretty face, and a bit of elegance in his gestures.Where in the capital does the daughter's family make a living, and she still shows up in public like this, this person may have been a person of joy.It is admirable to escape from the sea of ​​suffering and face life bravely.

"Yeah!" I nodded, bowed to the woman and said, "If the girl is willing to tell you something, Xiaosheng will be grateful?"

"You don't have to be grateful, it's just that you don't let me down."

"What the girl said is true, Xiaosheng remember it." I bowed to her, my acting skills are good enough, it can be regarded as a practice for the future.

"Don't waste your time these few days. If you want to see her, come back in three days." As soon as the girl finished speaking, the shopkeeper shouted, "Yu Mo, don't talk nonsense!"

I glanced at the shopkeeper, maybe he was concerned about it, and I didn't know that he hadn't heard a word that there is no silver 300 taels here.

"Shopkeeper Hu, this young master looks good-natured and gentle like jade. I don't think it's a lie. Besides, we just saw each other in the shop, and we were all there!" The girl named Yu Mo was also righteous, He even said a few good things for me.

Shopkeeper Hu curled his lips and said nothing.

The atmosphere was a bit weird, I bowed my hands and said goodbye, as the culprit, I slipped faster than anyone else.

I looked at the sinking sky and sighed alone, it's really not easy for Yanran to see you!The outside has already dispersed, and the attendants knew that I was not happy when they saw that I was dispirited. They followed me so slowly that no one dared to come up to make me feel uncomfortable.

I went back to the inn, the No. [-] inn in the capital. This trip can be said to be luxurious to the end, and the food and clothing are all the best.

I opened the door and entered, and An Ning was already sitting in the room.

"It's getting dark now, if you don't light the lamp, who are you scaring?" I said and blew on the candle to light the candle.

"Where are you going these days?" An Ning glanced sullenly.

I became curious, my light bulb had left the scene automatically, could it be that the two of them are still dry?I thought of something, and handed over a few boxes of spices I bought from Baixiangju, "This is the most famous spice shop in Beijing, let's see if you like it?"

An Ning glanced at me in doubt, picked up the spice box, frowned slightly, and looked a little puzzled.

"What's the matter?" It seems that I am not the only one who thinks that this spice really has something to do with the palace.

"It's somewhat similar to the spices in the palace recently." An Ning said as she found an incense burner and lit it up. The smell was eighty percent like the one on Concubine Tong that day.

"How did you get this?" The spices in the palace have always been unique. There are special perfumers in the palace, and you can buy them in the streets and alleys. An Ning's confusion is also my confusion. .

"Baixiangju in Beijing, it is said that the owner is from the south of the Yangtze River. It has not been long since it opened, and the business is booming. The spices inside are very expensive!" I glanced at An Ning, and said truthfully: "This person is probably my old friend, I am a little concerned .”
