Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

It's autumn, and the weather is getting cooler. Beijing North Street is the busiest and busiest place in Dayan. There are many shops here, and there are all kinds of rare treasures from all over the country and even exotic places, as long as you have money.

On this day, a commercial building located in the middle of the street opened its gate, the plaque was covered with red silk, and a band of lion dance and gongs and drums came to the gate, playing festive music.

As soon as the drum sounded, the surrounding pedestrians immediately gathered around. Love to join in the fun is probably a common feature of people of all ages.

"Hey, wasn't this Duobaolou used to be? When did it close?"

"It happened last month. I heard that the owner offended the third prince and was severely punished. The whole family moved out of the capital. This building has been closed for a month, and I have been hearing beating inside. I didn't expect it to open so soon. , this shop is not cheap, I don’t know who bought it.”

"Oh, what are you selling? Is it still a rare treasure?"

"Then I don't know, but it will open today, and we will know soon."

"We can't open a restaurant again, so we're going to kill ourselves. The Fulai Restaurant next door has excellent dishes. People who have eaten it all say it's good, and many of the dishes are new tricks that have never been seen before. I heard that even the chef It’s better to be ashamed.”

"Needless to say, if you look at the daily passenger flow, the tent is full of guests when it's meal time, and there are no seats even if you go late."

A listener at the side couldn't help but interjected: "The most amazing thing is that he doesn't accept reservations, and he doesn't give anyone face. You must know that under the emperor's feet, anyone who comes casually is a nobleman, but that restaurant is the most stubborn. , If you say no, you can’t, and I don’t know who the owner behind it is.”

"Anyone who can open a shop in this North Street does not have a big background. Just because he can invite the digital veteran chef to taste the dishes on the day of his opening, he knows that he has a good background."

At this time, a young man came out of the shop, with a jade-like temperament, like a student with a belly full of poetry.

"Could it be a bookstore or a shop of the Four Treasures of the Study?" Someone speculated.

"Everyone in the neighborhood, the shop is opening in full dress today. I am the manager of this shop, surnamed Lei. I will ask the neighbors to take care of the business in the future. The shop is a grocery store. The first floor sells daily necessities. The second floor The first floor sells ready-made clothing and jewelry, and the third floor sells pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

Today, all customers can get a piece of soap for free when they enter the store, and all products will be discounted by 100% in the first three days, and they will get a silver card of our store if they purchase 100 taels of silver at one time. [-]% discount, if you buy more than [-] taels, you can apply for a gold card. Gold card holders can enjoy a [-]% discount on shopping. Gold and silver card holders can also get a set of exquisite tailor-made clothes for free every year on their birthdays. There are also good things that you have never seen or used, welcome to the store for consultation. "

Lei Luo stood at the entrance of the new store, introducing their grocery store endlessly. Regarding this store, the prince originally wanted to open a cloth store and sell ready-made clothes as well, but he still had a lot of things to sell, so he decided to It was changed into a grocery store. Of course, this grocery store is not an ordinary grocery store. It sells rare items, and the prices are very beautiful.

"The auspicious time has come, I invite Mr. Fu to unveil the shop."

At this time, a vigorous old man came out from the store. He walked steadily. He was dressed in a dark red brocade robe embroidered with cloud patterns. The cuffs and hem were trimmed with a wide edge embroidered with bamboo leaves. Wearing a jade pendant and a purse, he moved up and down with his steps.

The crowd was in an uproar, this is Grand Master Fu! "My God, what's the origin of this grocery store?"

"Hey! Didn't you hear what he said just now? You have to buy 100 taels to get a silver card. It can be seen that the prices in this store are sky-high. It is definitely not an ordinary grocery store."

"It's up to you to say that. Have you ever seen a grocery store in the middle of the North Street? The land price and the building can't be rented without a few thousand taels. If such a store only sells sundries, the owner will definitely pay for it. I can't die."

The sound of firecrackers sounded, and the old lady stretched out her hand to pull it, and the red silk slipped off, revealing the true face of the plaque, with five gold characters "Li Ji Grocery Store" squarely engraved on it.

Someone burst out laughing: "Who got the name? It's too vulgar. I'm afraid it doesn't sell needles, thread, brains or something like that?"

"Go in and have a look. Anyway, if you don't like it, you don't need to spend money. What kind of soap can you give away for free? I heard from relatives that the soap came from the south, and the quantity is scarce. Only the nobles use it. After washing It smells good."

"Then take it quickly and give it to your daughter-in-law when you go back. Maybe you can agree with me to take that girl Yanyu from Liufang Pavilion home."

The crowd crowded into the store, and there was a feeling of enlightenment after entering. The previous treasure store was full of shelves in order to display treasures, but the newly opened grocery store not only removed all the shelves, The four walls are painted white, and there are human-high shelves along the walls. There are not many things on the shelves, and they are very sparsely placed, but everything makes people want to know more about it.

But this is not the most attractive. In the middle of the empty shop, there are several sets of tables and chairs. The tables are clean and transparent. I don’t know what they are made of. Along the round table, there are two benches. The chairs are made of cloth. Light gray, single seat, a table with eight sofa chairs, just to protect the table, it looks really strange.

Most of the people queued up to get the soap, but it was not uncommon for some wealthy families to use the soap, so they started shopping in the store.

The shopping guides in the store are also very young, wearing uniform clothing, with their hair raised high and delicate wooden hairpins, standing in front of the shelves energetically.

Yun Erlang swept around with his fan, moved his footsteps, and walked towards the most eye-catching shelf. He pointed to a gold-plated object and asked, "What is this?"

The shopping guide at the side stretched out his hand to turn the thing up, and it turned out to be a mirror, which clearly reflected every hair on Yun Erlang's face.

He was startled, and took a step back. He had no choice. He had never seen his face so clearly since he was a child. At first glance, he was a little strange, and there was a sesame seed at the corner of his mouth, which was too embarrassing.

"Is this a mirror? Why is it so clear?"

The shopping guide took off the mirror and handed it over, "My lord, please take a closer look. This is a unique product in this store. The gilt and silver mirrors are of different sizes. You can see the characteristics. Everything is very clear. As for why it is so clear, the villain I don't know."

Yun Erlang knew that he had asked a stupid question. This kind of technology must be kept secret, even the shopkeeper didn't know about it, let alone a mistress.

"You came early, the store only prepared fifty such silver mirrors today, until they are sold out, and there is a [-]% discount today, which is very cost-effective, even if you don't need it yourself, you can give it to the ladies at home One side. Women love beauty, and this exquisite mirror is the best match, and there is also a full-length mirror in the store, which can take care of the whole body, not to mention how high-end it is placed in the room."

Yun Erlang is a young man who likes to dress up, the kind who has to put on powder when he goes out, he loves this mirror so much, think about it, the grandmothers, mothers, aunts, wives, concubines and daughters at home can’t be counted on ten fingers, He suddenly felt that he could wrap up fifty mirrors in the shop.

He asked generously, "How much did you pay for everything?"

The shopping guide widened his eyes, and asked in surprise: "You want to buy all fifty mirrors?" He suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, and said sincerely: "Young master, you should think about it more. It’s expensive, and there are other really good things in this store, you can buy some of them.”

Yun Erlang especially admired the appearance of these servants who had never seen the world. He raised his chin and waved his fan and said, "You just have to say a price. I will buy something if I like it."

The shopping guide leaned into his ear and said the number, and said graciously: "If you wrap up these fifty mirrors, you will have reached the limit of the gold card. The villain can apply to the shopkeeper to send you some high-end gifts." .”

"You... How much money did you say?" This time it was Yun Erlang's turn to be shocked. He was probably hearing hallucinations. How could he hear such a terrifying number? Isn't it just a mirror, no matter how good he can go to heaven?

With a decent smile on his face, the shopping guide straightened his waist and introduced: "You don't know, this mirror is only sold in our small shop. The manufacturing process is very complicated, and the materials are very expensive and rare, and it is imported from overseas. The journey is far away, this mirror is fragile, and it was broken a lot just after being transported to the capital, otherwise the shopkeeper would not limit the sale to only fifty pieces today."

Yun Erlang looked at the mirror as big as a face in his hand stupidly, "At your price, you still want to sell fifty noodles a day. It's whimsical. Even if my son has a lot of money, he wouldn't throw money like this."

"So I suggest that you buy two or three noodles and go back. You can choose the one you have. It's not too big or too small. The price is only 88 taels after the discount. Give one to the ancestors at home and one to your mother. , they are much rarer than any pearls, hairpins or gems."

This is true, gifts are usually jewelry or fabrics, and no one has ever given a mirror. Such an exquisite and special mirror, the women in the family must like it.

But two or three times is not enough, there are so many women in the family, it would be strange not to fight.

Yun Erlang put down the silver mirror resentfully, coughed twice and said: "My lord, let's take a look again. If there are any rare treasures, let me introduce them."

The attitude of the shopping guide did not change at all, and he carefully put the mirror back on the shelf, and suggested: "If you really like it, you can wait for the birthdays of the female family members to customize the mirror. We can make different shapes and specifications according to your preferences. The mirror can also be engraved with words, it is perfect for a gift."

Yun Erlang thought about it, the old grandmother at home is about to have her birthday, and he is worrying about the birthday gift, this mirror is really good, of course, it would be too stingy to give a small mirror, he can order a big mirror, he endured the heartache Question: "How much is the mirror of Ren Gao?"

"You can go up to the second floor and have a look later. There are two full-length mirrors upstairs. One is 500 taels and the other is 800 taels. You can see which one you like."

Giving a gift of a few hundred taels is not too much, Yun Erlang decided to think it over carefully, and then he heard the clever shopping guide say: "It is recommended that you make a reservation first, so that you can buy it at today's discounted price. The original price has been restored, and a mirror can save more than 100 taels of silver."

"You're right, I want this too." Yun Erlang pointed to the mirror he took just now and said, who cares, let's talk about good things first, and at worst, hide them when we go home so that no one else can see them.

The shop guide’s smile became more sincere, and he led him to the side, pointed to the things on the shelf and said, “This manicure set is not very expensive, but it is very practical, including nail clippers, nail clippers, nail files, digging Ear picks, beauty scissors, razors, eyebrow trimmers, etc., each have a designated purpose, absolutely easy to use, and very convenient to store, this fur is made of pure buckskin, such a handsome son like you, such The set is worth owning."

Yun Erlang took a look at the purpose of each small thing, then looked at the exquisite appearance of these small things, nodded, "buy."

"And this pillow..."

After a circle, Yun Erlang found that he had bought everything, he thought silently, and secretly clicked his tongue, it was too expensive.

The shopping guide strongly recommended him to go shopping on the second and third floors, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to buy it, go and see what you like, and buy it later if you need it. The second floor is full of exquisite ready-made clothes and fabrics. It is unique to the shop. It is specially made of pure wool. It is soft and warm under the coat when it is cold. You are sure to like it at a glance. The brushes, inks, papers and inkstones on the third floor do not need to be introduced by villains. You only need to take a look to know that there are How special, even if you don’t buy it today, you will definitely buy it someday.”

Yun Erlang also wanted to see what kind of things could be so attractive, but he didn't dare to just look at it after counting his expenses today.

"When the things are delivered to Yun's house on Yongle Street, it is said that Yun Erlang bought the things, and the accountant will pay the bill, understand?"

The shopping guide said respectfully: "It turns out that he is the young master of the Yun family. I have admired him for a long time. Don't worry, as long as you sign the shopping list, the villain will arrange for someone to deliver the goods. You will be able to see it when you get home."

Yun Erlang suddenly thought of a question, and hurriedly stopped him: "No, I'd better take it back with me, and you can go to Yun's house to get the money."

"This..." the shopping guide said awkwardly: "It's not that the villain doesn't trust you, but that the store's rule is to pay for the goods and deliver the goods, or the villain will pack all your things and wait for you to bring the money to get it." ?”

Although Yun Erlang was a dude, he didn't want to embarrass a servant, so he agreed immediately, and then sent his followers back to get the money. As long as he told the cashier that he was buying gifts for the ancestor's birthday, he would definitely get the money.

The shopping guide smiled and asked him to rest on the sofa, "Try the special sofa in the shop, it's very soft and perfect for resting, and the villain will serve you a pot of tea. I don't know what kind of tea you like, sweet or sweet. Salty?"

Yun Erlang had already seen the sofa and chair set, and when he saw the shopping guide pull out a chair, he tried to sit on it. It was really soft, and he felt like he would sink into it, but it was indeed very comfortable.

For people who enjoy themselves, there is nothing more comfortable than a soft fabric sofa. The whole person can relax in the sofa, and with tea and pastries, Yun Erlang immediately doesn't want to leave.

There are more and more customers in the store, those who are cash-strapped come in and get the soap and leave, or take a closer look at the first floor to choose a few not too expensive and practical things, as for the expensive ones, they can only Just look at it.

But there are especially a lot of rich people in the capital. Most people will buy a few rare things when they come in, but most of them are on the first floor, and few people go up to the second and third floors.

It was impossible for the shopping guide who brought Yun Erlang to serve him all the time. He prepared tea and snacks for him and then went to receive other customers.

But there are not many people as generous as Yun Erlang. The shopping guide remembered the secret taught by the shopkeeper, and walked towards him after receiving a customer.

"Young Master Yun, are you satisfied with this tea and pastry? If you don't like it, I will change it for you."

"Very good." Yun Erlang looked at the small plate that he had emptied, put down his hands and sat up straight and asked, "What kind of pastry is this, I haven't eaten it before."

"This kind of pastry is called a cake. It is a new product that Fulai Restaurant just launched today. It was rounded up by the small shop. You still have some if you like to go to Fulai Restaurant tomorrow."

Yun Erlang still wanted to eat, but he couldn't open his mouth, so the shopping guide brought him another dish graciously, said "use it slowly" and said: "If you are tired from waiting, there is still a bed on the second floor. It's clean, you can lie down."

"Forget it, I don't know who has been lying on it, but to be honest, your store still sells ready-made clothes. Which famous tailor and embroiderer did you hire? Is it better than Nishangfang?"

"The ready-to-wear styles in this store are all the blueprints sent by the owner. The embroiderer invited a few aunts from the palace. The craftsmanship must be nothing to say. I haven't been to Nishangfang, so it's really hard to compare. You can go and see See, but more women's clothing."

Yun Erlang was well aware of the "sinister intentions" of the shopping guide, and decided not to set foot on the second floor. It didn't take long before he saw the son of the Zhao family descending from the second floor, and the servants behind him were holding large and small bags. The bag is full, which shows that the harvest is quite rich.

Although this Zhao family is not an established family, it has grown very fast in the past few years, has power and money, and this Zhao family's son is famous for his vision. The things he can buy generously will definitely not be bad.

Yun Erlang was entangled, everyone wants good things, and after these three days, there will be no such discounts, so won't it be a loss if you buy them again?

Seeing his hesitation, the shopping guide added another chip, "Young Master Yun, just now the villain settled the bill for you, and the things you bought are only 50 taels of silver, which is 1000 gold, and gold cards can buy anything. I can get a [-]% discount, do you want to pick up another item to make up [-] taels?"

Yun Erlang gritted his teeth and left the soft sofa, "Come on, go to the third floor and buy some pens and inks." Anyway, pens, inks, paper and inkstones are needed at home, so it's not a waste of money for him to buy them.

Xiao Er showed a triumphant smile, and sent him to the stairs, "You can go upstairs, there will be other people to receive you, I wish you can buy something you want."

He looked at Yun Erlang's back and thought: Do you want to come down easily after going up?How is that possible, there is always something that can keep you from moving your legs.
