Drunk Yangzhou

Recently, there have been continuous spring rains in Shu, the official roads are muddy, and the vehicles carrying the Shu brocades have been delayed for several days before arriving in Xianyang.There is a three-entry house in the west of the city, which is a real estate purchased by Fu Yiting. It is specially used for trading Shu brocade. As soon as Mu Gang, a merchant of Shu brocade, arrives, he immediately sends a letter to Fu Yiting. One by one, they are hung on the truss in the main hall.

After busy work, more than half an hour passed before he knew it, Mu Gang heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and hurriedly led people to meet the stone lion in front of the house.

In the afternoon, the spring sun is warm, and a crabapple outside the wall is in full bloom. When the breeze blows, there will be bursts of flowers raining with sweet fragrance. Such a scene makes people feel a little tired.Fu Yiting and the others reined in their horses in front of the door, their minds swayed by the fragrance of the flowers. Tang Chengzao jumped off the horse secretly, picked a few clusters of petals and held them in his hands to play.

"Old Mu, you told me to wait this time." Fu Yiting broke off a branch of crabapple, put it on the tip of his nose, sniffed it, and then threw it away without mercy, "What good things did you bring this time?"

"Fourth Lord, it took nearly three years for this batch of Shu brocade from dyeing and training silk, to cross-stitching and weaving, and then weaving in the flower building! It is definitely a unique product... and the road is difficult to travel, so it is too late. Please also fourth Master Haihan!" Mu Gang was talking, and accidentally saw Xiao Ge behind Fu Yiting, he couldn't help but glance a few more times, and then he came back to his senses and said: "Come on, please!"

Several people walked into the main room of the second entrance, and saw pieces of exquisite brocade lined up neatly, really dazzling and colorful, with patterns such as tortoise shell, flower group, twining branches, flying phoenix, red lion, wandering scales, gluttony, etc. Lifelike, ready to come out.Fu Yiting was quick to do things, and immediately started to choose from the brocade on the easternmost side, and Lin Yizhi followed him with a booklet to make records.

"Fourth Master, the patterns and colors of this batch of goods have been specially improved according to your requirements, what do you think?" Mu Gang asked with a smile.

"It's the same thing." Fu Yiting rubbed the lotus pattern on a piece of bamboo and moonlight brocade, "What do the dignitaries wear, what do the merchants wear, what do the sons wear, what do the young ladies wear... the pattern of the texture varies from person to person. If there is color, it should be as rich as this, the countless exquisite colors between the heaven and the earth, what's the point of being all crimson red and dark green?"

"Yes, yes, what you said is very true!" Mu Gang responded from the side. He felt that Fu Yiting was in high spirits today, and seemed to talk more than usual. I couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ge, and felt that he had the bearing of a nobleman. For a moment, my heart murmured, and I was thinking wildly, but I heard Fu Yiting's order: "In the future, I don't want anything like this."

Mu Gang hurriedly probed over, and saw that this horse was embroidered with the scenery of the Jinjiang River, with long haze and clouds intersecting. It was originally a very elegant and beautiful pattern, but the color was too elegant and tranquil.The nobles of the Qin region loved brocades with intricate textures and bright colors. Fu Yiting glanced at it and put it aside, but Xiao Ge caught this one at a glance and stepped forward to caress it carefully.

"Master, I see that this piece of brocade is very suitable for you." Bai Song'an whispered.

"I think Mr. Wen's upper body will fit well." Xiao Ge caressed an insignificant solitary sail on the texture of the river, and said with a smile: "His birthday is coming soon, I don't know what to give, why don't I just buy it?" I gave him this Shu brocade."

Fu Yiting was carrying the brocade, but Xiao Ge's words fell into his ears without a word, so he teased: "Tsk, no wonder Mr. Wen is so loyal to elder brother, so it turns out that elder brother loves him so much!"

Bai Song'an at the side thought silently, why did these words sound inexplicably awkward, presumably it was because the speaker was feeling awkward.

Xiao Ge ignored Fu Yiting's embarrassment, he just laughed and said to Mu Gang: "Si Ye doesn't want this piece of brocade, why don't you just sell it to me?"

Mu Gang quickly came over with a smile, "Of course!"

"Then I would like to thank you sir." Xiao Ge said, pretending to hesitate again, "Not good. This time I came in a hurry, it is said that every inch of Sichuan brocade is worth a piece of gold, I am afraid I am a little shy in my pocket."

"It's not a problem." Mu Gang is also a smart person, and hurriedly said: "Since you came with the fourth master, you are all honored guests. The amount you want is not too much, so it's better to give it to you directly!"

"That's not necessary, it's two different things." Xiao Ge gave Bai Song'an a look, and Bai Song'an immediately took out a beautiful wooden box from his bag and opened it, only to see a luminous pearl inside. The brilliance of the hair has not yet appeared, but Mu Gang's eyes are still shining, and when he sees the color and texture, he knows it is top grade.

He couldn't help but stepped forward to have a closer look again, his heart was so excited, but he shied away and said: "This is too precious, absolutely not."

"Why not?" Xiao Ge smiled brightly, closed the box, and handed it directly to Mu Gang, "It's perfect for pearls and jade to be exchanged for brocade."

The two shied away from each other for a while, Fu Yiting had finished picking the Shu brocade and came over, he is naturally a person who knows the goods, took the box, opened it, looked at it, and smiled: "My brother has always been so generous, so you can keep it, old Mu. Come on, just make a friend today."

"This..." Hearing Fu Yiting's words, Mu Gang carefully accepted, "Okay! I don't know how to call the young master?"

"My surname is Jie." Xiao Ge changed the character into a surname, and said: "I hope to have more contacts with Mr. Mu in the future."

"Naturally!" Mu Gang laughed until his beard trembled, then turned to Fu Yiting and whispered, "Fourth Master, there is still something to do here... Please follow me."

Fu Yiting understood it, turned around and said to everyone: "You guys wait here for a while, I'll go back as soon as I go."

The two came to the secret room in the backyard together. Mu Gang took out a wooden box and opened it carefully, only to find that it contained a bright yellow Dragon Dagon!Nine embroidered dragons are embroidered on this garment, galloping above the rivers and waves, it looks domineering and majestic, but it is extremely delicate when touched.

Fu Yiting stroked the plain blue texture on it with satisfaction, and praised repeatedly. After playing with it enough, he closed the wooden box again, "The brocades that were just picked out, and this robe, will be handed over to Lin Yizhi in a while. .”

"Yes, Fourth Master." Mu Gang repeatedly agreed.

"About this thing, you can't reveal half a word to the outside world." Fu Yiting's face darkened, and his voice became cold and hard.

Mu Gang hurriedly smiled and leaned back: "We still have the awareness to do things for the emperor!"

Fu Yiting paused for a moment, staring at Mu Gang with an unpredictable smile, "Old Mu, it's not that the emperor wants to wear a dragon robe made of Sichuan brocade."

Mu Gangqing's face turned pale all of a sudden, "You...what did you say?"

"Ever since King Yu came to my Yi Palace, he has never forgotten this exquisite Shu brocade." Fu Yiting folded his hands behind his back and slowly paced on the bluestone board, "In the name of the emperor, I made a request for him, just as a favor Well!"

"Fourth Master! You..." Mu Gang's heart was beating wildly, and he realized that he had been deceived by Fu Yiting. At this moment, he had been drawn into an unpredictable abyss. He did it, but the head on the item seemed to be about to fall to the ground in the next second. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cast a look full of hatred at the bold Fu Yiting.

"Old Mu, you don't need to worry about it." Fu Yiting knew what he was thinking, and comforted him: "The emperor relies on King Yu... Daxia is so miserable now, besides King Chuan, shouldn't you find another way out for yourself? ?”

"King Yu really wants to...?" Mu Gang felt unbelievable.

"Sooner or later. Years ago, Yu Wang Dongjin approached the Yetai of Guangling Wang Xiaoge. Do you really think he is working for the emperor?"

Fu Yiting's provocations were very effective, and now Mu Gang was in a mess, frowning and pulling his beard.

"Besides, the dragon robe is in my hands now, so you can deny it. A businessman is after profit, so just take the money and do things, don't think too much about it."

Fu Yiting spoke sincerely, and Mu Gang's heart gradually settled down. He sighed, "I'm going to ride a tiger, what else can I do?"

"Don't pretend to be good when you get cheap, do business with me, will you lose money?" Fu Yiting said with a smile: "I also made a treasure today, go back to bed and have fun secretly!"

Thinking of Xiao Ge, Mu Gang was full of doubts again, so he tentatively asked: "Fourth master, who is that young master, and how can he be so generous?"

Fu Yiting smiled darkly, "It's just a distant cousin from the south, and he's also a businessman. Keep in touch with him, and you'll make a lot of money."
