Chapter 40

Chengguofu.

In the back garden covering an area of ​​dozens of acres, the second housekeeper Wang Chengzheng was directing his servants to move the rockery.

A servant hurriedly came from the arch and whispered in his ear.

Wang Cheng nodded and left quickly.

After a while, he came to a pavilion beside a pond.

A burly young man in green clothes was waiting for him in the pavilion. Upon seeing his arrival, he immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Uncle, that boy has left the house."

Wang Cheng's expression condensed: "Are you going to leave the city?"

The young man shook his head and whispered: "I don't know yet, I have someone follow me. But according to the rules, the one-month deadline has not yet come, and there are still nine days before he can go out of the city to worship."

Then he glanced left and right and whispered: "Uncle, do you want to take action in advance? Those people can't wait any longer and want to take the money and run away. After all, they are all murderers with lives on their hands. They dare not wait any longer. 」

As soon as these words came out, Wang Cheng's face suddenly darkened and he shouted: "Stupid! Are you afraid that you will live too long if you do something in the city? Not to mention that that kid is now a member of the Qin family, even if he is still a member of my Chengguo Mansion. , and never in Let's take action in the city! After all, he is a scholar and the third son of our Chengguo Mansion. If he is found out, it doesn't matter if you or I die. No one can bear the responsibility if it affects the Chengguo Mansion and the second son's exam next year! "

The young man's expression changed and he quickly said: "Don't worry, uncle, I will restrain them again. At worst, I will give them some more money and let them wait a few more days."

Wang Cheng's face was deep and he spoke earnestly: "Wang Pu, you have to remember that although no one in our Chengguo Mansion is an official in the court, we still have titles and have offended many people. If a roommate is caught fighting, handle, that is Even if you are just trying to catch the wind, you will be attacked politically by those enemies. When the time comes, the expectations of the master and the eldest lady may be in vain, even if you and I lose the heads of the whole family, it will not be enough. !”

"Remember, you must be careful about this matter. This is the first time the eldest lady has asked you to do something, but it is still such an important matter. If you can handle it well, you will naturally have a place in the Chengguo Mansion. People in your family , you won’t have to worry about food and clothing in the future. As brothers and sisters, if you go to Yujing in the future, the eldest son and the second son will help take care of you. When the eldest son and the second son become successful, you will naturally benefit from these things. You must understand it and be aware of it. ”

Wang Pu's face was solemn, he lowered his head and said respectfully: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew promises to handle this matter beautifully and will never disappoint the eldest lady's expectations."

"Remember, this matter has nothing to do with Madam, nor does it have anything to do with Chengguo Mansion. If something goes wrong with you, do you know what to do?"

"My nephew understands!"

"Go ahead."

…

The streets are lively.

After Luo Qingzhou bought two bunches of candied haws for Xiaodie, he took her across the arch bridge to the East Street, which specializes in civil and military goods.

After carefully selecting a few shops, he stopped in front of one of them.

On the plaque at the door of the store, there are a few big characters written in a flying phoenix: Qingshan Wenwu Pavilion.

Glancing inside from the door, I saw that the first floor was selling books, and the second floor should be selling martial arts supplies.

Luo Qingzhou took Xiaodie into the store.

Soon, a shop waiter came up to him. Seeing that he was wearing a Confucian robe, he was thin and full of bookishness, he quickly said with a smile on his face: "This young man is here to buy books, or to buy pens, inks, paper, inkstones and other supplies." ? We have everything on the first and second floors, you can choose whatever you want, the quality is absolutely high."

Luo Qingzhou glanced at the second floor and said, "They also sell these things on the second floor?"

The waiter said enthusiastically, "Yes, the items sold on the second floor are slightly more expensive than those on the first floor. If you are interested, you can go up and have a look first."

Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything more and took Xiaodie upstairs.

There are several rows of bookshelves on the second floor. In addition to books, there are also high-end pens, inks, paper and inkstones, folding fans, sachets, jade pendants and other scholar accessories.

In that corner, there were even various erotic albums blatantly displayed, all of which were beautifully made.

The waiter didn't follow too closely and was a few steps behind the two of them. He didn't talk too much and had a warm smile on his face, letting him watch and choose by himself.

Luo Qingzhou walked around casually and found a few books about female celebrities on the bookshelf. He took one and handed it to Xiaodie's hand and said: "You take a look here first, I'll go upstairs and take a look. Come down in a moment."

When the waiter heard this, he quickly reminded him, "Sir, the items displayed upstairs are all warrior supplies."

Luo Qingzhou looked at him and said, "I'm just curious and want to go up and have a look, is that okay?"

The waiter quickly smiled and said, "Of course you can, sir, just go up and see whatever you want."

Luo Qingzhou followed him up.

Although Xiaodie was a little strange, she didn't ask any more questions and just stood there reading the book and waiting obediently.

After Luo Qingzhou went upstairs, he was immediately attracted by the swords, guns, sticks and other weapons around him.

After looking at the weapons for a while, he walked to the shelf next to him and looked at the items on it curiously.

"What's this?"

he asked, pointing to a row of porcelain bottles on the shelf.

The shop waiter hurriedly came over and introduced: "Back to the young master, these are the potions used by warriors when practicing martial arts. These bottles are used by warriors when refining their skin. Sprinkle them in the water and take a bath every night, which can repair the wounds and cracks on the skin and relieve pain. The pain..."

Then he pointed to the row above and said: "These are also the potions used during skin refining, but these are more advanced. In addition to relieving skin pain, they can also improve the effect of refining the skin membrane..."

"What about these?"

Luo Qingzhou pointed to another row of shelves.

With a smile on his face, the waiter took the trouble to introduce: "These are the potions used when refining meat. They can relieve muscle soreness and stimulate the strength of muscles. They can make daily practice more effective with half the effort..."

Luo Qingzhou's heart moved, and he pointed at one of the bottles and said, "How much silver is this bottle?"

The waiter in the shop took a closer look and said with a smile: "Sir, we don't accept silver for warrior supplies, only gold coins. This bottle is not expensive, about a hundred gold coins. There are three drops in the bottle, which is enough for half a month."

Luo Qingzhou: "..."

He didn't dare to ask anymore, and walked to the opposite corner shelf, took a casual look, and asked directly: "Do you sell any space items that can hold things?"

When the waiter heard this, he understood and quickly smiled and said, "Young Master are talking about space treasures such as storage rings, storage rings, storage bags and storage bracelets, right?"

Luo Qingzhou was secretly happy that he indeed had these things.

"How much is the cheapest one?"

He was not embarrassed and asked directly.

The waiter in the store did not show any contempt at all, and said with a smile on his face: "The cheapest one is the smallest storage bag. The price is divided according to the material. The lowest price is tens of thousands of gold coins each. In fact, we only have storage bags in the store, and other things "If you need it, Master, you can go to the treasure collection pavilion on the street, where you can find all kinds of treasures."

"Tens of thousands of gold coins..."

When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he was secretly shocked.

His current total net worth is only more than a thousand taels of silver, and to him, it is already a huge sum of money.

Unexpectedly, the cheapest storage bag costs tens of thousands of gold coins!

It is true that not everyone can be a warrior, and it is even more difficult for the poor.

In order to ease the embarrassment, he nodded, picked up a piece of white jade as big as his palm from the shelf nearby, and changed the subject: "What is this? Is it worn on the body?"

The waiter in the store quickly introduced: "Sir, this is a martial arts appreciation stone. A warrior only needs to hold it in the palm of his hand and activate his inner strength, and it will display his strength, speed, resistance to blows, and mental strength."

There was a hint of surprise on Luo Qingzhou's face: "So magical?"

The shop waiter smiled and said: "It is made of special materials and refined by the master of weapon refining. Almost every warrior will carry one with him to observe his own training progress and his physical strength at any time."

Only a novice would not recognize this thing. As expected, this young master was just a scholar who came up to take a look out of curiosity.

The waiter thought to himself.

But he still maintained his enthusiasm.

Luo Qingzhou looked at the jade in his hand and felt a little moved. He hesitated and asked, "How much does this martial arts stone cost?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Master, if you really want it, I can make it cheaper."

Luo Qingzhou said directly: "I don't have gold coins, only silver."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, hesitated, glanced at the stairs, suddenly approached him, and whispered: "Master, if you want, just give me 800 taels of silver. But you can't tell others about this matter, the government has regulations. Anyone who buys warrior supplies can only use gold coins."

"Eight hundred taels?"

Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this and felt that it was unexpectedly cheap.

Although eight hundred taels was still a huge sum of money to him.

The waiter in the store said frankly: "Young master, you can tell at a glance that there is a crack on the back of this martial arts appreciation stone. Although there is no problem with its function, there cannot be any collisions in the future. We can only put it away carefully. Its lifespan is estimated to be less than one year." Years old, so eight hundred taels can be sold."

Luo Qingzhou turned over the jade in his hand and saw a clear crack on the other side.

The originally flawless white jade was instantly ruined by this crack.

"What a coincidence. Is this martial arts stone specially prepared for me?"

Luo Qingzhou thought to himself.

Then without hesitation, he looked at the waiter and said, "I want this martial arts stone. Please wrap it up for me."

The waiter was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and said quickly: "Okay, okay, sir, wait a moment."

I thought that the young master was just curious and came here to take a look, but who knew that he actually bought something for warriors, which was an unexpected surprise for him.

Luo Qingzhou took out his wallet, gave him the money, and asked about the prices of some other commodities.

Just when he was about to look at other things, he suddenly heard the laughter of several people downstairs, and Xiaodie's panicked voice: "What are you doing? Go away..."

Luo Qingzhou's expression changed and he immediately walked to the stairs.

Looking downstairs, I saw a few familiar figures!
