The fourteenth blessing of the koi carp in the Qing Dynasty

The fourteenth elder brother Qiqi Ai Ai, his face turned red before he could speak, he hesitated for a while, and under the impatient eyes of the ninth elder brother, he finally said, "Actually, it's nothing, just, I just want to go shopping with the ninth elder brother. "

After saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief, that's right, he just came to visit Brother Jiu, not to buy gifts for Fujin.

Brother Nine looked at him suspiciously. Little Fourteen really thought he was blind. Just now, his face turned red like a monkey's ass, and he said he was fine and just went for a stroll?

Looking down at the sachet on his waist, Brother Nine smirked, "Brother Nine understands, our little Fourteen has grown up, is this going to buy gifts for the fourteenth siblings in the future?" , "You are looking for the right person to find Brother Jiu, wait, brother go to the next door and call Old Ten, the three of us will be together."

In terms of coaxing women, I'm afraid no one can compare to Brother Jiu. These women in Brother Jiu's house don't care about Jiu Fujin, but they are all obedient to Brother Jiu.Brother Nine dared not yell a word.

Angry, Brother Fourteen glared at Brother Ninth, "I said it was just for a stroll."

"Okay, okay, stroll around casually." Brother Jiu coaxed in a good-tempered manner.

If you believe in you, you will be a ghost, and you are short of engraving a few big characters on your face, 'I have Fujin'.

The heat on his face went down, Elder Fourteen couldn't help but ask: "Brother Ninth, where are we going?" Elder Fourteen was really confused, he wanted to buy the best one for Fol Guochun, and the one he wanted. Gifts, but except for that one time, the two of them hadn't met for many years, and he didn't know much about Fol Guochun's black eyes.

What he wanted was Foer Guochun's sincere liking, not because the gift was given by her fiancé Huang elder brother.

Ninth elder brother is mysterious, "Don't worry, it must be a place where you can find good things. However, there is a saying that brother said before, have you brought all the money?" Ninth elder brother loves money. Familiar, similarly, it is difficult for you to extract some money from him.

It means that the eighth elder brother wants to achieve great things and can get money from the ninth elder brother, and other people don't even think about his own brother.Even my own brother can't make it, let alone fourteen.

Fourteen was not short of money, so he asked clearly in advance, lest Fourteen be taken advantage of later.

"Don't worry, Brother Nine, I still have my younger brother Wan Baliang, and I won't ask you to pay for it." Brother Nine thought a little too much, what was going on with Brother Nine's money when he bought gifts for Fujin himself.

Brother Nine smiled awkwardly. He has always loved beauties and money. Don't look at how happy he is to give myna money every time, it seems like half his life has been lost in his heart.

Calling out Brother Ten, the three of them headed out from Brother Jiu.

"Jigu Pavilion? Ninth Brother, this is not the place you mentioned, is it?"

Brother Nine brought him not to the side, but to the famous "cultural street" Liulichang.

This place is indeed a good place to buy ancient books, even his elder brother who still lives in the palace has heard of it, could it be that Brother Jiu asked him to send Fujin this?Brother Fourteen frowned, why did he think it was unreliable?If he had known about him earlier, he would have listened to Wei Ping'an and went to the fourth sister-in-law for advice.

"I haven't seen it yet. Brother told you that Liulichang is a place to pick out good things. Look," Brother Jiu opened his arms facing forward, "This row is full of ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, which are favorites of literati. .” Turning around and pointing to the other side, “This side is an antique porcelain vase.”

"Turning across this street is one of the largest silver buildings in the capital. The craftsmanship of the masters there is no worse than that in the inner city. The key is that the price is affordable. On the left is a rouge and gouache shop, and on the right is a cloth and clothing store."

"It's rare to come out, let's go shopping more, and we can always find something you like, Brother Fourteen."

Brother Ten was silent all the way, and it was rare to interject at this time, "There are many restaurants nearby, and the dishes in them are all good." Compared with these things, the food is more attractive to him.

Pulling the ninth brother's sleeve, the fourteenth brother was a little anxious, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go quickly." Unlike the two elder brothers, he had to go back before the palace gate was locked, and his time was limited.Now he just wants to pick out the gifts quickly, and spend some more time to go to the Earl's Mansion, to see if he can meet and talk to Fujin.

Stretching out his hand to brush the fourteenth elder brother away, the ninth elder brother said slowly: "What are you anxious about, brother fourteen, do you think this is the place my brother is going to take you to?" He raised up an index finger and shook, "Wrong, brother today This is where I want to take you." Brother Jiu stretched out his hand, and his eyes fell on the side of Jigu Pavilion.

Wisdom House?What the hell is this place?

Elder Fourteen looked suspicious.

Shaking the fan in his hand, Elder Brother Jiu proudly introduced, "The so-called Wisdom Eye House means Wisdom Eyes. You can clearly mark the price of the items you like here. If someone likes the same item as you, the higher price will be paid. Yes. Of course, you can also guess, 50 taels of silver once, everything in it, you may buy an egg for 50 taels, or you may buy an ancient book for 50 taels. What you buy depends entirely on luck.”

Fourteen looked suspiciously at Brother Jiu, so clearly, could it be that this place is Brother Jiu's property?

They are all brothers in public, Brother Nine is a 'heterogeneous', he doesn't love power but only money and beauties.In Han Ama's eyes, merchants are a lowly profession, and it is a rule that Manchus are not allowed to do business, but Brother Nine is different, he does not know how many properties he owns.

Liulichang is a mixed bag, who can open a shop in this place without snobbery behind it?Huiyanju seems to be a new store, even if the owner is not Brother Jiu, it must be other brothers.

Seen through by the fourteenth brother, the ninth brother did not hide it, "The fourteenth brother is right, this place is indeed my brother's property. However, the ninth brother didn't mean to cheat you. In this Liulichang, we I dare not say that this is the most complete, but it is also one of them, if you still can’t find something you are satisfied with here, don’t even think about other places.”

"We're brothers, just pick what you like, and I'll give you a [-]% discount then. How about it, isn't it interesting?" Yinzhen winked at Fourteen while talking.

Thinking about it carefully, Brother Nine really didn't trick him, Fourteen glanced at Yinzhen a few times, and walked forward.

As soon as he walked to the door, a person dressed as a child came out from inside. He smiled obsequiously at several people and said, "Greetings to the masters. Please ask for whatever you want, we have everything you need."

The little boy didn't know Yinzhen, so he brought a few people over and continued: "It's the first time for the gentlemen to come to the shop, do you want to introduce them to the gentlemen?"

"Tell me," Fourteen said casually while looking inside.

Although Huiyanju is the property of Ninth Brother, he can't keep bothering Ninth Brother to introduce it. It's better if the boy is willing to explain.

Xiao Tong bowed to several people, and immediately introduced them.

Huiyan Residence has five floors. The first floor is where literati and inkmen choose books, calligraphy and paintings. The transcripts are also addictive.Not to mention calligraphy and painting, if you are lucky, you can find several volumes of calligraphy and painting by famous artists in various dynasties.

The second floor is full of jade, porcelain, antiques, and some weird things. The most porcelain here is the high-quality goods of folk kilns, of course, there are also official kilns, and the most expensive are ancient objects with famous origins.Not to mention jade, there are all kinds of colors.

As for the weird things, they were actually brought by Westerners or obtained by the Qing Dynasty.It's just that the weak maritime trade of the Qing Dynasty brought few things, so it will appear precious.

The third floor is for women's jewelry, which are also high-quality goods. There is also a separate door on this floor for the convenience of female customers.

The fourth floor is a hall filled with tables and chairs. This floor is where Brother Jiu said 'quitting'.

Facing the stairs is a big platform covered with ten items for everyone to choose, and guests can take away any one they choose for 50 taels.When Yinzhen and the others first came up, they heard a burst of cheers. It was obvious that someone had chosen something worth more than 50 taels.

Seeing that he seemed to be interested in this, the boy tentatively asked: "Do you want to try it?"

Yinzhen glanced at him and waved his hands, "Okay, it's none of your business here, go down." You know everything you need to know, and the rest is to choose what he is interested in.

The rest of the fifth floor, as Xiao Tong said just now, is where there are private rooms, and it is for dignitaries who don't want to go down to choose by themselves.

All the things in Huiyanjuli are organized into booklets. There are detailed introductions and pictures on what you want to buy, and you can just pay for what you fancy.

Looking at the whole Huiyanju, Yinzhen poked Yinzhen next to him, "Ninth Brother, it's ok, I'm afraid your Huiyanju will make a lot of money every day." Not to mention anything else, let's just say that there are dozens of people on the fourth floor right now. When a person buys something, he really buys the one that exceeds the principal.Brother Jiu, this business is sure to make a profit.

Yinzhen chuckled, and said modestly: "Where there is, brother Jiu is just a business to earn a living." Yinzhen seems to make a lot of money in this industry, but in fact there are many people who share it.First of all, Kangxi and Concubine Yi have to give. Yinzhen is not stupid, and after dividing Kangxi, if something happens to him in the future, he can go to the old man for support.

In one, his eighth brother was very ambitious, and most of the business money of the ninth elder brother was given to the eighth elder brother to win people's hearts, and he really didn't have much left.

Looking at the crowded Huiyan Ju Yinzhen was a little moved. Does he also want to start a business to earn some money to support his family?

"Fourteenth brother, do you think about buying anything? Hurry up, brother is hungry." Elder Brother Ten said in a low voice.He is not interested in these things, he is tired after walking for so long.

Yinzhen thought about it carefully for a while, "If you are tired, Ninth Brother and Tenth Brother, you can find a place to rest for a while. I plan to go to the second and third floors to take a closer look."

Foer Guochun has always been in Shengjing, the climate there is no better than that of the capital, and other things may not be rare, foreign things must be rare.He planned to find some strange foreign gadgets to give to Fol Guochun to please her.

Also on the third floor, look at women's jewelry and hairpin rings, and choose a few to send together.
