Sending the children out of the house, seeing that they were far away, he turned around and went back to the main room.

In the main room, Gu Fangyou and Mu Chen were still drinking, and Qing Zhu also drank two glasses just now, and now he fell asleep on the table.

Taking a thin quilt to cover the green bamboo, Cen Le sat down again.

Both Gu Fangyou and Mu Chen have a good capacity for alcohol, and they are not drunk even after drinking. Seeing Cen Le came back, Mu Chen asked, "Are they all gone?"

Cen Le nodded.

Looking at Cen Le, Mu Chen said: "If you are tired, go and rest first, don't worry about us."

Cen Le said: "I'm not tired."

At this time, Gu Fangyou suddenly asked Cen Le: "I never asked you before, where are you from?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Fangyou would suddenly ask such a question. Cen Le stopped pouring the wine and was stunned. He forgot how to answer for a moment. After a while, he wrote: "I am from overseas. .”

Dayan does not implement a sea ban. The imperial court has a special fleet that travels between overseas countries, sells goods such as porcelain and silk, and buys spices, gems, etc. locally.

And not only official ships can travel, some merchant ships are also allowed to travel together, and then, accompanied by officials, conduct transactions.

Therefore, there will be people coming from overseas countries, which is not uncommon.

Cen Le couldn't tell that he came here through time travel, so after much deliberation, only this explanation is the most reasonable.

"Overseas?" Gu Fangyou narrowed his eyes, "But there is really no difference in your language and writing."

Cen Le explained: "My father is from Dayan. He taught me the language and characters of Dayan since I was a child. He was a merchant in the early days. After going out to sea with a merchant ship, he met and fell in love with my mother. After I passed away, I wanted to visit Dayan, so I boarded a passing merchant ship.

"After disembarking from Yangzhou, a few friends invited me to go with them. I didn't know where to go, so I agreed. On the day Mu Chen rescued me, because we ran into some hungry wolves in the mountains, we walked away. Afterwards, I recuperated from my wounds, but I didn't know where they went, so I stayed."

"I see." Gu Fangyou nodded.

Seeing that Gu Fangyou didn't suspect, but believed his own words, Cen Le secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Glancing at Cen Le, Gu Fangyou said again: "You are a foreigner and don't have a household registration of Dayan. If you plan to live here for a long time, you'd better apply for a household registration, otherwise once your business is established, you I'm afraid that your identity will become the basis for others to talk about things, which is not good for you."

Cen Le nodded slightly, "I understand."

Mu Chen felt a little uneasy, he tentatively said, "If you want to stay, after the New Year, I will take you to Lizheng to register."

Cen Le turned to look at him, "Okay, I'll trouble you."

Knowing that Cen Le really wanted to stay, Mu Chen was overjoyed and couldn't hide the smile on his face anymore.

That night, the three of them drank until midnight before stopping.



After the third day of junior high school, Mu Chen was ready to go to work.

Cen Le also went into the city together, he was going to send Qin Ming the recently woven jewelry, by the way, he also planned to go to "Gu Yuzhai" to see if he could buy glazed utensils for making rouge and balm.

So early in the morning of the fourth day, the two went out together.

In the city of Suzhou, there is still a strong Chinese New Year atmosphere. Every household has couplets posted, and red lanterns are hung at the entrances of shops.

On the street, the vendors had already occupied their positions and began to sell. Cen Le kept his eyes on and walked straight to the "Qin's Jade Ware" with bamboo baskets on his back.

Soon, he was outside the shop.

Qin Ming was not in the shop today, he went to Yangzhou with his mother, but before he left, he told A Zhu to entertain Cen Le.

After Azhu invited Cen Le into the shop, he gave Cen Le the account book and the 100 taels of silver note that Qin Ming asked him to hand over, "This is what the young master asked me to give you. There are ledgers, you can check to see if there are any mistakes."

Cen Le only took the bank note.

A Zhu blinked: "The account book, son, don't you want to read it?"

Cen Le smiled, "I believe in Young Master Qin's character, so I don't need to look at this account book."

After speaking, he took out the jewelry he had brought and handed it to A Zhu, then asked for the jade he needed, and got up to leave.

"Aren't you going to stay a little longer?" A Zhu asked.

Cen Le shook his head, "I still need to go shopping, so I won't stay any longer."

Hearing this, Ah Zhu stopped talking, he sent Cen Le to the door, watched Cen Le go away, and then returned to the shop to continue entertaining guests.

Gu Yuzhai was on the East Street, and after Cen Le got out the Qin's Jade, he didn't stop at the West Street, but walked directly to the East Street.

After walking for about half an hour, he found the shop.

Cen Le stood outside and took a look, then walked in.

Gu Yuzhai always sells some rare gadgets, most of which cost the most money, so only some wealthy young masters or young ladies who are not short of money will go in, ordinary clothes like Cen Le are rare.

But the guys in the shop didn't treat them differently, their attitude towards Cen Le was no different from that of those young masters.

Cen Le looked around in the shop, but didn't find any glazed products. Remembering Qin Ming's words, he took out a charcoal pencil and a notebook, wrote down his questions, and asked the clerk beside him.

"Excuse me, do you sell glazed products in your shop?"

The clerk was uneducated and not very literate. After he apologized to Cen Le, he took Cen Le to find the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was waiting for a young man in a fancy dress. Coincidentally, that young man was Song Yunjing who had wanted to buy a Cen Le wristwatch before.

Song Yunjing was still thinking about his watch, his eyes lit up when he saw Cen Le, and he asked, "Have you changed your mind?"

Cen Le also recognized Song Yunjing, and shook his head upon hearing this.

"Oh." Song Yunjing was disappointed for a moment, and then returned to his previous lack of interest.

Averting his eyes from Song Yunjing, Cen Le handed the question he wrote down just now to the shopkeeper beside him.

Looking down at the question, the shopkeeper replied: "It's for sale, and you came by coincidence. A new batch of goods just arrived a few days ago, and no one has bought them yet. Please wait a moment, sir, and I will take you to them later." Go and see."

Because of the location, Song Yunjing also saw the words on the notebook, and then listened to what the shopkeeper said. He changed his lack of interest and raised some interest, "No need to wait, let's go and read it. I just happen to have a look too. What's new for you?"

Hearing what Song Yunjing said, the shopkeeper nodded and said, "Well, this guest officer, Young Master Song, you follow me."

He led Cen Le and Song Yunjing to the backyard, went up the stairs to the second floor, and then opened a door: "Please come in, you two. Here are all the glass products in the shop. You can Take your pick."

Cen Le and Song Yunjing walked in one after another, and looked around again.

After walking half a circle, when Cen Le reached the container on the right, he stopped and smiled.

He found it.

It was a set of utensils similar to a modern alembic, with high-quality workmanship and crystal clear. From the outside, you can also vaguely see the inside. It is not very big, just in line with the size Cen Le wanted, and it will not take up space.

Turning his head, Cen Le asked the shopkeeper beside him: "How do you sell this?"

The shopkeeper smiled all over his face, and he introduced: "Guest officer, you have a good eye. This is our latest product. Looking at the whole Jiangnan, this is the only one. Its price is relatively high, and it costs 200 taels of silver. Do you want to buy it?" Down?"

Cen Le frowned, a little hesitant.

200 taels, that's nearly two-thirds of his belongings.

Seeing Cen Le's embarrassed face, Song Yunjing smiled and asked Cen Le again that he could buy his watch for 500 taels.

"Young Master Song, you don't need to say any more. I don't know how to sell watches." After Cen Le refused Song Yunjing, he turned over another page and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Please help me wrap it up. I will buy this device." gone."

Knowing that Cen Le wanted to buy it, the shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let the guy wrap it up."

Unexpectedly, Cen Le had money, Song Yunjing was extremely disappointed, and he planned to take advantage of this opportunity to buy a watch.

He was in a bad mood, and he didn't want to look at the glazed glass in the room, so he picked up two cups, paid the bill and left.

Before leaving, he glared at Cen Le angrily and snorted.

Seeing this, Cen Le couldn't help chuckling.

Really like a child.

After paying the silver and taking the wrapped glazed utensils, Cen Le left Gu Yu Zhai.

With less than ten taels of silver left, Cen Le thought about it, and decided to go to the powder shop to buy some rouge and balm to study.

At this time, the street was very lively, with pedestrians coming and going, accompanied by shouts, and there were so many people, so Cen Le didn't notice that one of them followed him secretly until he walked into the gouache shop. And left without anyone noticing.
