My lady, something is wrong

Chapter 40

into the government.

In the back garden that covers an area of ​​dozens of acres, the second housekeeper Wang Cheng is directing the people to carry the rockery.

A servant came hurriedly from the arch and whispered a few times in his ear.

Wang Cheng nodded and left quickly.

After a while, he came to a gazebo by a pond.

A burly young man in Tsing Yi was waiting for him in the pavilion. When he saw him coming, he immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Uncle, that kid has left the house."

Wang Cheng's expression condensed: "Are you going out of the city?"

The young man shook his head and said in a low voice, "I don't know for the time being, I'll have people follow me. But according to the rules, the one-month deadline has not yet come, and there are still nine days before he can go out of the city to worship."

Then he glanced left and right, and whispered again: "Uncle, do you want to do it in advance? Those people can't wait, they want to run away with money quickly, after all, they are all murderers with lives in their hands, and they dare not wait any longer. already."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Cheng's face suddenly sank, and he shouted: "Stupid! You are afraid that you will live too long if you start in the city? Not to mention that the kid is now a member of the Qin family, even if I am a member of the national government. , and must not do it in the city! After all, he is a scholar, and he is the third son of our Chengguo government. If it is found out, it doesn't matter if you and I die. It will affect the Chengguofu and the second son's exam next year. I can't take this responsibility!"

The young man's expression changed, and he said quickly, "Don't worry, uncle, I will restrain them again. The big deal is to give them some more money and let them wait a few more days."

Wang Cheng's face was deep, and he said earnestly: "Wang Pu, you have to remember that although no one in our Chengguo government is an official in the imperial court, after all, there are nobility in the body, and there are many people who have offended. The handle, even if it's just chasing the wind, will be politically attacked by those enemies. By then, the second son has worked so hard to prepare for so long, and the expectations of the master and the eldest lady will probably be in vain. You and I will lose the heads of the whole family. not enough!"

"Remember, you must be careful about this matter. This is the first time the eldest lady asked you to do something, but it is still such an important thing. If you do it well, then the Chengguofu will naturally have your place. The people in your family , I will not worry about food and clothing in the future. If your brothers and sisters are going to Yujing in the future, the eldest son and the second son will help take care of one or two. In the future, when the eldest son and the second son rise to the top, you will naturally benefit from you. These things, You have to understand in your heart, you have to live up to your expectations, you know?"

Wang Pu's face was solemn, and he bowed his head respectfully and said, "Don't worry, uncle, my nephew promises to handle this matter beautifully and will never disappoint the eldest lady's expectations."

"Remember, this matter has nothing to do with the eldest lady, and it has nothing to do with Cheng Guofu. If you make a mistake, do you know what to do?"

"Nephew understands!"

"Go."

...

The streets are lively.

After Luo Qingzhou bought two strings of candied haws for Xiaodie, he took her across the arch bridge and came to the East Street, which specializes in civil and military goods.

After carefully selecting a few shops, he stopped in front of one of the shops.

On the plaque at the entrance of the shop, there are a few big characters written like a dragon and a phoenix: Qingshan Wenwu Pavilion.

I glanced inside from the door, the first floor was selling books, and the second floor should be selling martial arts supplies.

Luo Qingzhou took Xiaodie into the store.

Soon, a shop assistant came up and saw him in a Confucian robe, thin and bookish, and quickly said with a smile on his face: "This son, did you come to buy books, or to buy other supplies for pen, ink, paper, ink, etc. ? We have everything on the first and second floors, even if you choose casually, the quality is absolutely excellent."

Luo Qingzhou glanced at the second floor and said, "The second floor also sells these things?"

The shop assistant said with enthusiasm: "Yes, the items sold on the second floor are slightly more expensive than those on the first floor. If you are interested, you can go up and have a look first."

Luo Qingzhou didn't say more, and took Xiaodie upstairs.

There are several rows of bookshelves on the second floor. In addition to books, there are also high-grade pen, ink, paper and inkstone, folding fans, sachets, jade pendants and other scholar accessories.

In that corner, there were even blatantly displayed various erotic palace albums, all of which were beautifully made.

The shop assistant didn't follow too close, a few steps behind the two, and he didn't talk too much, with a warm smile on his face, allowing him to watch and choose by himself.

Luo Qingzhou wandered around at random, found a few books about Nvhong on the bookshelf, took one and handed it to Xiaodie: "You look here first, I'll go upstairs to have a look, Come down in a moment."

The second shopkeeper heard the words, and hurriedly reminded: "Young master, all the martial arts supplies are placed upstairs."

Luo Qingzhou looked at him and said, "I'm just curious, I want to go up and have a look, can I?"

The shop assistant quickly smiled and said, "Of course, you can go up, young master, you can see anything you want."

Luo Qingzhou followed him up.

Although Xiaodie was a little strange, she didn't ask much, and stood there obediently, reading the book and waiting.

After Luo Qingzhou went upstairs, he was immediately attracted by the weapons such as knives, guns, sticks and so on.

After looking at the weapon for a while, he walked to the shelf next to him and looked at the items on it curiously.

"what is this?"

He pointed to a row of china bottles on the shelf and asked.

The second shopkeeper hurriedly came over and introduced: "Master Hui, these are the potions that warriors use when they practice martial arts. These bottles are all used by warriors when they refine their skins. Sprinkle it in water every night to take a bath, which can repair the wounds and cracks on the skin and relieve the wounds. feeling of pain……"

Then he pointed to the row above: "These are also the potions used in skin refining, but these are more advanced. In addition to relieving skin pain, they can also improve the effect of refining the skin..."

"What about these?"

Luo Qingzhou pointed to another row of shelves.

The shop assistant smiled and said without hesitation: "These are the potions used in meat refining, which can relieve muscle soreness, stimulate the strength in the muscles, and make the daily practice more effective..."

Luo Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat, he pointed to one of the bottles and said, "How much money is this bottle?"

The waiter took a closer look and said with a smile: "Master, we don't accept silver for warrior supplies, only gold coins. This bottle is not expensive, it's about a hundred gold coins, and there are three drops in the bottle, enough for half a month's use."

Luo Qingzhou: "..."

He didn't dare to ask any more, he walked to the opposite corner shelf again, glanced at random, and asked directly, "Do you sell any kind of space items that can hold things here?"

When the shop assistant heard it, he understood and quickly smiled: "Young master is talking about space treasures such as storage rings, storage fingers, storage bags, and storage bracelets?"

Luo Qingzhou was secretly happy, and there really are these things.

"How much is the cheapest?"

He was not embarrassed and asked directly.

The shop waiter didn't look down at the slightest, and said with a smile on his face: "The cheapest is the smallest storage bag. The price is divided according to the material. The lowest price is tens of thousands of gold coins. In fact, there are only storage bags in our store, and other things , if you need it, you can go to the Treasure Pavilion on the street to have a look, there are all kinds of treasures stored there."

"Tens of thousands of gold coins..."

When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he was secretly shocked.

His current net worth is only more than 1000 taels of silver, and to him, it is already a huge sum of money.

Unexpectedly, the cheapest storage bag would cost tens of thousands of gold coins!
It is true that martial artists are not something that everyone can do, and it is even more difficult for the poor.

In order to ease the embarrassment, he nodded, picked up a palm-sized piece of white jade from the shelf next to him, and changed the subject: "What is this? Is it worn on the body?"

Dian Xiaoer hurriedly introduced: "Master Hui, this is the martial arts stone. The martial artist only needs to hold it in the palm of his hand and activate his inner strength, and it will show his strength, speed, fighting ability, and mental strength."

A look of surprise appeared on Luo Qingzhou's face: "So miraculous?"

Dian Xiaoer said with a smile: "It is made of special materials and has been refined by a master craftsman. Almost every warrior will bring one on his body to observe his own cultivation progress and physical strength at that time."

Only Xiaobai would not know this thing. This young man is really just a curious scholar who came up to take a look.

The shop boy thought secretly in his heart.

However, he remained enthusiastic.

Luo Qingzhou looked at the jade in his hand, a little moved, hesitated for a while, but still asked, "How much is this martial arts stone?"

The waiter smiled and said, "If you really want it, son, I can make it cheaper."

Luo Qingzhou said directly: "I don't have gold coins, only silver."

The waiter in the shop was stunned, hesitated for a moment, glanced at the stairs, suddenly approached him, and said in a low voice: "If you want, young master, you can just give 800 taels of silver. But you can't tell others about this. The government has regulations. Anyone who buys warrior supplies can only use gold coins."

"Ten taels?"

Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment, feeling unexpectedly cheap.

Although 800 taels was still a huge sum of money to him.

The waiter in the shop said frankly: "Master, you can see at a glance that there is a crack on the back of this martial arts stone. Although there is no problem with its function, there should be no collisions in the future. It can only be placed carefully, and its life expectancy is estimated to be less than a year. It’s been a year, so 800 taels can be sold.”

Luo Qingzhou turned the jade in his hand to one side, and sure enough, he saw a clear crack on the other side.

The originally flawless white jade was instantly damaged by this crack.

"What a coincidence, is this martial art stone specially prepared for me?"

Luo Qingzhou thought to himself.

Without any hesitation, he looked at the shop assistant and said, "I want this Jianwu stone, wrap it up for me."

The shop assistant was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and quickly said, "Okay, okay, Young Master wait a moment."

I thought this young man was just curious to take a look, but who knew that he actually bought something for the martial artist and gave him a surprise.

Luo Qingzhou took out his purse, gave him the silver as well, and asked about the prices of other commodities.

When I was about to look at other things, I suddenly heard the laughter of a few people downstairs, and Xiaodie's panicked voice: "What are you doing? Go away..."

Luo Qingzhou's expression changed, and he immediately walked to the stairs.

Looking downstairs, I saw a few familiar figures!
