[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

outside the house.

The bewildered Jia Lian grabbed Lin Yan, "Cousin, what does this mean?"

"Second Cousin Lian, did you hear what the old man said just now?"

"Understood, let me go back and read?"

Lin Yan smiled, "Then my cousin will do as I wish."

Jia Lian frowned and said nothing, Lin Yan roughly guessed what he was thinking, and said, "Second Cousin Lian, don't worry, this matter is not urgent. The appointment of officials in the Ministry of Officials cannot be decided within a day or two. Didn’t the old man also say that if my cousin still wants to apply for a job in the future, will he accept it?”

However, according to Shen Bonian's tone, if Jia Lian is really like this, then once the position is given, the affection left by his mother Shen Heng will be gone.

On this point, Lin Yan did not say clearly, he had the same thought as Shen Bonian, if Jia Lian was smart, he would have thought of it; if he was not smart, his point would stop here.

Lin Yan didn't care what Jia Lian was thinking at the moment, and quickly got on his horse, "Since I'm out, I'm not in a hurry to go back. I heard that there are Liuli Street in the capital. There are rows of shops from west to east. It is a famous business gathering in Beijing. I want to go shopping. I don't know what Lian's second cousin is planning now, whether to go back to the house to read, or..."

Before Lin Yan finished speaking, Jia Lian came back to his senses and said with a smile, "I'll go with my cousin. My cousin came to the capital for the first time and doesn't know anything about it. If you let my cousin go alone, don't blame me. Don't worry, even the old lady will blame me. Besides, my cousin who just promised yesterday, can't break his promise. I have been to this Liuli Street many times, and I happen to be a guide for my cousin."

Lin Yan nodded in agreement, and the two of them drove their horses with two servants alone, and ordered the others to go back to the mansion.

Entering Liuli Street, the first thing you see is Jinyufang, which has the largest shop and the most elegant style.

Lin Yan couldn't help looking twice, and Jia Lian whispered, "This Jinyufang just opened at the beginning of the year. I bought three shops and opened them up. It's a big deal. All the jewelry and decorations in it are top-grade, and there are still some from time to time. It’s a new item brought over from foreign merchants. It’s only been half a year since it opened, and it’s already gained some fame in Beijing. I heard that standing behind this store is…”

Jia Lian flipped his palm and made a nine sign.Lin Yan's eyes flickered, and he stepped into the shop.

The three major shops have been opened up, and it is really spacious and bright enough, and the things are exactly as Jia Lian said, whether they are exquisite or novel, they are all top-grade.After a round, Lin Yan searched a lot, which surprised Jia Lian.

If you say that people like them are not short of money, but their juniors don’t have much money to move around. He is married, his elders have given him a fortune, and he has also been in touch with the general affairs of the mansion. Don't dare to buy like this.Lin Yan shot thousands of taels without blinking his eyes.In particular, all the things I bought were women's things.

Jia Lian laughed, "I'm in Beijing, but I haven't heard of Cousin Lin saying we're married. I don't know which sweetheart I bought it for?"

"The second cousin Lian was joking. These are bought for my mother and sister."

"Cousin, don't lie to me. Most of these things are brought by young girls to play with. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for my aunt to use them. If it's a cousin, it's even more inappropriate at a young age."

"My younger sister will always grow up. Now is not the right time. There will always be a suitable time. When the time comes, it's good to give her a dowry."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Lian couldn't laugh or cry even more, and shook his head helplessly.

Lin Yan led Qiu Ming to pay the bill.The shopkeeper is very good at being a man. "Young master buys a lot. According to the rules of our store, you can leave your name. If you come to the store in the future, you can enjoy discounts on all items."

"It's not necessary. I came to the capital to visit relatives, and I have to go back in a month or two. It's not certain when I will come to Beijing in the future."

The shopkeeper was not reluctant, and smiled and brought out a tray with agates and jades of various colors on it, which were made into seal pendants and other objects.

"Then you might as well choose one, it's a gift from our store."

Lin Yan was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "This is a discount and a gift, but you really know how to sell. I wonder if there is a membership system?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback, "What is the membership system?"

"For example, members can be divided into three levels, which are distinguished from other customers. Ordinary members, VIP members, and supreme members. The limit is different amounts of money. Ordinary is the lowest, and supreme is the highest. The promotion is based on the accumulated sales of buyers in the store every year. .You can use gold to create a half-palm-sized thin card as a mark of membership.

Of course, if there is a rich man, he can directly deposit more than [-] taels in the store and become a supreme member directly.The store updates different styles of products every season, makes graphic brochures, and distributes them to all members for free.Add limited product lines every season, and only make as many models as possible.Only members are eligible to purchase.

In addition, if you are a supreme member, if you are a female family member, you can choose one of the earrings, bracelets and other major jewelry, and customize a special edition exclusively in the store as a member's birthday gift.This style is the only one in the world and will not be done again in the future.If it is a man, it can be changed to a seal or a fan pendant. "

The shopkeeper was fascinated by what he heard, and to be appreciated by the prince to become the head of a store is a bit of a skill.Lin Yan had just started, and he already knew a little bit about the way.

With the current style of comparison among the rich and powerful households in central and central Beijing, as long as one family becomes a member, there will be many people who don't want to be left behind and scramble to become members.

And what Lin Yan said is based on the annual sales amount, that is to say, in order to ensure their membership status, they still need to spend a high amount in the store every year.This will further guarantee the huge source of customers in the future.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and was about to listen carefully, but saw that Lin Yan had no intention of saying any more, so he picked a yellow stone and threw it in his hand, "This is it. Although it's not the best, But it’s enough. Tomorrow, I’ll learn to carve a chapter by myself for fun.”

The shopkeeper was still full of ideas, and felt a little bit reluctant.Lin Yan's attention was no longer on this, but he saw a glass mirror placed on the high cabinet behind the shopkeeper, said "Hey", and said happily, "How do you sell that?"

"Young master, I'm really sorry. There is only one piece of glass mirror, and the master kept it for himself, but he hasn't taken it away yet. But it's not for sale."

Lin Yan touched his nose, well, he can't compete with the Ninth Prince, and said, "Is there nothing else?"

"My lord, you are joking. This is a rare thing from the West. How can it be so good? You only get a few yuan a year for a palm-sized one, and it's even more difficult for a few feet like this one."

"Why do you want to make something from the West, we can't do it ourselves!"

As soon as the words fell, a man in Chinese clothes turned out from the inner room and snorted coldly, "To put it lightly, you made a piece that is so colorless and pure, without even the slightest bubble or spot, and showed it to me?"

Lin Yan shrugged, "It's not impossible."

The man in Chinese clothes snorted, "Big words are not ashamed!"

"Five points of quicklime, ten points of soda ash, fourteen points of quartz sand or river sand, and seventy to seventy-two points of quartz stone. It can be formed naturally by blowing and cooling at high temperature. However, I am talking on paper after all, and I always have to try it out in detail. Ten back and forth."

Try it a dozen times, it is so easy to say, you must have a well-thought-out plan.

The man in Huayi was startled, he didn't expect that he knew the formula and said it so easily.You know, the price of glass nowadays is comparable to gemstones and jade, so he doesn't care about such a business that is making money every day?

Just when he was suspicious, he heard a sound of horses roaring outside, mixed with the crowd shouting in a panic.When Lin Yan went out, he saw a horse running rampant on the street, pedestrians fled in fright, three or four guards whipped their horses and chased after him, and a young man in brocade clothes shouted behind him: "Catch Xuehuacong back to me, don't hurt it! "

After the last sentence came out, the guard who had drawn his sword in front and was about to swing it put away his sword, got up, jumped on the horse's back, and pulled the rein.It's a pity that Ma'er has a strong temper. It seems that he has been frightened before, so he became more irritable and could not be appeased. After a while, the guard was thrown down.The horse's temper became more and more severe.

Horseshoes trampled recklessly, pedestrians panicked and pushed each other.Somehow, a girl was pushed out of the street and fell to the ground. Seeing the horse coming straight at her, the guards circled around the horse one by one, throwing their hands at each other, helpless.

Between swords and flints, Lin Yan frowned, taking advantage of the unprepared guards, he jumped up, pulled out his sword and rushed towards the horse, met him with the face of the sword, and slashed from top to bottom.

There was a crash.Blood splattered everywhere, the horse collapsed, its head broke from its neck, and Gululu rolled several feet away.

The author has something to say: original characters will come out one by one.

The man in Chinese clothes is not difficult to guess.

Young man in brocade clothes, you can guess which one he belongs to.

This person is not mentioned in the original book, but their family has appeared many times.Even later, it was an important reason for the ending of a certain hairpin among the twelve hairpins.
