Invincible son

Miaohou Street is located in Yonghuifang, Xicheng. To the north is Changlefang, which has two famous gardens, Qinyuan and Liyuan. To the south is Fenglefang, which has bamboo buildings. It can be described as the core area of ​​prosperity.

This street belongs to a section of the main street in the east-west direction of Kyoto. The street is wide and flat, and a complete and unobstructed sewer is built underground beside the road. Even in rainy days, it will not overflow the street.

Before the founding of Daliang, Lin Qingyuan sat in the rear of Emperor Gaozu and personally presided over the renovation of various cities in Kyoto.Under his painstaking planning, it took nearly three years to expand and repair the groundwater network in Kyoto. This move can be said to be of great benefit to the present, but there are very few people who still remember the achievements of the old man.

There are row upon row of shops on Miaohou Street, and the goods come from all over the world, such as tea from Lizhou, ginseng from Yunzhou, logs from Huazhou, porcelain from Qinzhou, silk and satin from Yaozhou, medicinal materials from Yuzhou, etc., and so on.

Although Shen Danmo has been away from the capital for a while, he is no stranger to the prosperity of this place, and has come here to hang out in the past.

For her, the original meaning of the so-called shopping is not important, the key is to be able to walk around with Pei Yue, which is a truly novel and interesting experience.

Pei Yue looked at the sincere smile on her face, and continued the topic just now: "Of course, I don't just like those strange tricks, and I don't have the time to play around yet."

Shen Danmo asked with interest: "Then what kind of novelty would you like to see?"

Pei Yue smiled slightly, stopped suddenly, subconsciously wanted to hold Shen Danmo's hand, halfway out, then retracted.

The code of ethics in Daliang is not strict, and it is not uncommon for men and women to walk together in the market, but at this moment, after all, it is in public, and street vendors and pedestrians are constantly coming and going, if she really holds Shen Danmo's hand, I am afraid she will not be able to adapt.

Shen Danmo had a panoramic view of his actions, and couldn't help feeling a little sweet in his heart.

Pei Yue resolved his small embarrassment by turning around, pointing to a shop on the street and said: "I heard that there are some novelties here, let's go in and have a look."

Shen Danmo looked up, and saw "He Yuan Hao" written in big characters on the door plaque.

She said softly: "The business name that can attract your attention must be extraordinary, but I have never seen it in the capital before, but this Heyuan name sounds familiar..."

Before entering the store, a smart and capable guy greeted him and greeted him.

The space in the store is open and clear, and all the partitions of the five houses were opened, and then several rows of containers were placed without affecting the traffic and sightlines, and all the samples of the goods were placed on them.

There are eloquent guys on both sides of the container, ready to provide customers with answers at any time.

Shen Danmo had never seen this kind of pattern before, and was a little surprised when he came in.

There were already many customers in the store. After seeing this pair of young men and women with outstanding temperament come in, they just glanced quietly and then looked away.Although Shen Danmo's appearance is eye-catching, but in Kyoto, where throwing a brick at will could hit a servant, smart people naturally know the true meaning of being cautious.

Shen Danmo observed the layout of the store and said with emotion: "It's really ingenious."

When they entered the door, the shopkeeper behind the east counter immediately came over, and then said respectfully: "Greetings to this nobleman. My little one came to the capital for the first time, and some of the tricks are just small tricks, which are really not worth mentioning. It is an honor to be in the eyes of noble people."

Shen Danmo glanced at Pei Yue, saw a gentle expression on his face, couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and then said to the shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper doesn't have to be so humble, to be able to make such a big facade in the temple back street, How can your company be a small business?"

The shopkeeper bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows even more, and said, "Your honor is absurd."

Shen Danmo smiled slightly, turned to look at the container not far away, walked over and asked, "What is this?"

The shopkeeper quickly responded: "Return to your lord, this is white sugar."

Pei Yue said seriously: "White sugar? Since it is placed on the container so solemnly, it must be better than the common brown sugar on the market. Shopkeeper, can I have a bowl of sugar water for me to taste?"

The shopkeeper is able to sit on such an important facade as the Yuanhao, and his observation and demeanor are first-class. How can he not see that this young man is the real dignitary, especially the two guards who follow him and the dozen or so guards left outside the door. Obviously the kind of ruthless character who kills without blinking an eye.

However, this young nobleman's request made him slightly startled, and he nodded quickly and said: "If the nobleman doesn't dislike it, the villain will do it right away."

Shen Danmo came over and tugged at Pei Yue's sleeve quietly, and said softly: "Don't mess around, can you eat things outside?"

Pei Yue lowered his voice and said, "To get your care so much, I would be happy even if I was poisoned to death."

Shen Danmo was angry and ashamed, bit her lower lip lightly and gave him a white look.

Why didn't I see that this guy had such a thick skin before?
After a while, the shopkeeper personally carried a tray with a white porcelain tureen on it, which contained the sugar water that Pei Yue wanted.

The shopkeeper respectfully said: "Please appreciate it."

Pei Yue nodded slightly, took the lid off and saw that the sugar water in the bowl was as clear as it seemed without any impurities.

The shopkeeper introduced from the side: "I would like to teach you two nobles to know that this white sugar is born out of all kinds of brown sugar on the market. It is the unique technology developed by the owner of the No. [-], which makes the brown sugar get rid of impurities and dross. Sweeter."

Pei Yue took a sip of the sugar water and closed his eyes slightly, as if savoring the sweetness that the shopkeeper said.

In fact, he just remembered some memories from his previous life.

"good."

He put the tureen back on the tray, gave an evaluation indifferently, and then asked with a smile: "This white sugar is indeed better than brown sugar, and the business must be booming in the future, right?"

The shopkeeper bowed his head and replied: "Thanks to the nobleman, and thanks to the care of the elders in Duzhong, the sales of white sugar have been very good in the past two months, and the supply is gradually falling short of demand."

At this moment, Shen Danmo shouted from the side: "Master Pei, please take a look at this mirror."

She held a round mirror in her hand, which was much clearer than the bronze mirror she bought before, and she could even see the subtleties of her face.

No matter ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, all women love beauty, especially this mirror can show every detail, which makes her love it so much.

Pei Yue asked with a smile, "Like it?"

Shen Danmo nodded slightly, seemingly still calm, but there was already a hint of certainty in his eyes.

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "This nobleman has good eyesight. This is the latest mirror made by my account. There are only three mirrors in the store, and it is not for sale at the moment. If the nobleman likes it, I am willing to present this mirror and don't pay a penny. receive."

Although Shen Danmo loves this thing, he will not be blindfolded, and said calmly: "The shopkeeper is worthy of being an expert in business. If your name is willing to part with you, then I will naturally accept it. If you don't charge a penny, it's waived, the shopkeeper That's the price."

The shopkeeper's eyes have actually been paying attention to Pei Yue, and he boldly guessed from Shen Danmo's address just now that this young dignitary is very likely to be Wei Guogong, who is very powerful in the court today, so he dared not put on an air, and said honestly: " To tell you the truth, this item is the treasure of my shop, it is really impossible to estimate its value. Since the nobleman likes it, then I will reward you ten taels of silver."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Yes."

He also asked Feng Yi to buy ten catties of sugar and pack them separately, naturally one for Weiguo's mansion and one for Shen Danmo's house.

Shen Danmo couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, a mere banker is not worth mentioning to the Shen family, what she values ​​is Pei Yue's equal treatment.

I walked around the store again, and found that although the origin of the Heyuan name was unknown, it did have a means, and several kinds of goods were both practical and novel.

After about a stick of incense, Shen Danmo left the shop with Pei Yue contentedly, and when she was about to go out, a light suddenly flashed in her mind, and she suddenly remembered where she had heard of the word He Yuanhao.

At this moment, among the endless crowd on the street, a man in his thirties stopped and looked at Pei Yue and Shen Danmo who came out of the Heyuan Hall.

A knife hangs from his waist.
