There are many treasures in this country
Chapter 72 1 Gold Toss
Xiao Suo's legs were limp as hell, as if he saw a cat teasing a mouse.
However, he still greeted him gracefully, arching his hands to suppress the trembling in his voice: "Lu Zhuangyuan."
Lu Yu smiled softly and had deep meaning: "Young Master Xiao, we meet again." He raised the dagger in his hand: "Is this what Young Master Xiao likes? It's really extraordinary."
Xiao Suo didn't make a sound, not sure what he wanted to do.
Lu Yu called the clerk and asked in front of him, "Is this dagger the best in your shop?"
The clerk said flatteringly: "Master Hui, among the short blades, this one is the most expensive. If you like, you can also have a look at the long sword. We have a sword used by Yue King Goujian in our shop, it is a rare treasure!"
"Really?" Lu Yu smiled, his eyes turned from the buddy to Xiao Suo who was standing with his head bowed, "I'll take a look at it, then I'll buy it."
When the clerk saw the big customer, he invited him into the inner room and waited on one side with the curtain closed.Lu Yu walked to the door, turned around and said with a smile, "Young Master Xiao, let's take a look together."
Xiao Suo naturally didn't dare to refuse, and knew he couldn't, so he could only follow him into the inner room.Inside was a round mother-of-pearl table surrounded by low stools.Lu Yu sat with his back to the window, and he stood down two seats apart.
The clerk offered tea from the outside: "Sir, please wait a moment, my little one, go and call our shopkeeper." After saying that, he withdrew.
There were only two people left in the room, Lu Yu pointed to the opposite side: "Young Master Xiao, sit down."
Xiao Suo hurriedly took two steps back, saying "dare not".In fact, Lu Yu was only dressed in white, and even though he had been personally conferred the title of "No. [-] Tea Scholar" by the late emperor, it was a false name after all. In detail, he was really not as honorable as Xiao Suo, a master.
But the affairs of the world are often difficult to explain clearly with the word "reason". There are a lot of people, and the only tea doctor who has friendship with the emperor is the one in front of him.What's more, now that Xiao Suo is in his hands, in terms of scheming, he is really no match for him.
Lu Yu is like this, and so are others.In this chaotic current situation, everyone has plans, everyone is hiding, making use of each other and fueling the flames, like being in a vast ocean.
And he is just a small boat drifting with the tide.
Ever since he came to Beijing with Shen Yan, he was like a shrimp. He entered the river from the ditch and the sea from the lake. , suffocating him from time to time.
Just a little Lu Yu, just his understatement, can make his life so sad.He seems to be a gambler with usury, and his fate is bound by this.
The man came in at this moment, followed by a middle-aged man in brown satin.Xiao Suo hastily made way to the side, and he asked with a smile: "You two are polite, my surname is Shi, and I am the shopkeeper of this Zhenwu shop. Do you want to see the King Yue's sword in our shop?"
Lu Yu got up to greet him and said: "It turns out that it is the shopkeeper Shi. I have heard for a long time that the Shi family in the eastern capital is as rich as an enemy. It can be called the largest merchant in my dynasty. I don't think this Zhenwu shop is also your property. It is really disrespectful."
Shopkeeper Shi laughed and said: "Lu Zhuangyuan is absurdly praised. We can't afford the words "wealth can rival the country, but we are just relying on the emperor's grace to make ends meet." Then he turned and told the staff: "Hurry up and get the sword out!"
The man walked to the flower stand by the wall, turned the flower pot with both hands, and the wall behind him slowly opened.
Xiao Suo was shocked, he had never seen a secret room in reality, it turns out that the legends in the play are not all nonsense, many things really exist in the world.
The shopkeeper walked into the secret room, took out a bright yellow wooden sword box with clear texture, carefully placed it on the table, and said: "This is the thousand-year-old Yuewang sword, the treasure of our shop."
"It's really a good thing." Lu Yu touched the wooden box, "It's hard to find a box made of golden camphor and dark wood alone, not to mention a precious sword."
Xiao Suo took a look, and saw that the piece of wood was very similar to a table in Shen Yan's mansion, it must be extremely precious.Lu Yu turned around and asked him, "Young Master Xiao, palm palm eye?"
"How dare, how dare." He quickly waved his hands, "I don't know the goods, how can I know!"
Shopkeeper Shi smiled, opened the sword case himself, uncovered the red silk wrapped inside, and suddenly revealed a cold blue-gold two-color inscription sword. Scattered like tears, there are a stack of concentric circles of threads on the sword head, and the distance between each ring is less than the thickness of a fingernail. The fine workmanship is rare in the world.
Lu Yu picked up the hilt of the sword, weighed it in his hand, and suddenly stabbed Xiao Suo with his sword.The latter retreated three steps in a row, his face turned pale with fright, and he bumped into the vase stand, breaking a bottle with a bang.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lu Yu smiled and took back the sword, "I lost my hand and scared Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Suo got up slowly, feeling uneasy: when he leaves later, the shopkeeper won't let him pay for the vase, right?
Shopkeeper Shi didn't mention the loss of money, but brought a stack of papers and put them on the table, and then waved his right hand: "Please Lu Zhuangyuan."
Lu Yu understood, raised the sword and scratched at the paper, but before it touched it, the sword energy approached, and already cut several layers of the letter paper.The clerk held two thick stacks of letter paper, and touched the tabletop again: "No one was spared, even the table was scratched."
"It's really a good sword!" Lu Yu praised, "I don't know how much it's worth? Shopkeeper Shi must be innocent, and don't kill me, a poor tea maker."
Shopkeeper Shi said with a smile on his face, "Lu Zhuangyuan is too humble. Who doesn't know that Hongjianlou's business is booming, and you will lose money. But our shop is open for business, and we have always been fair and honest, and we will definitely not let Zhuangyuan suffer. Although the sword is precious, but for friends, they only charge a purchase price."
He frowned, and said with a heartbroken look: "How about this, Lu Zhuangyuan only keeps 3000 taels of gold, so that the small shop will not lose money, that's fine!"
Xiao Suo lost his footing and almost fell to the ground. 3000 taels of gold, that is about 2 taels of silver, he has never seen that kind of money in his life.
With so much money, it is too extravagant to buy a useless ancient sword!
Unexpectedly, Lu Yu slapped the table, put down a dozen banknotes, held the dagger in his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Shi is really happy, and wrap this dagger together for me."
Shopkeeper Shi smiled, put away the banknotes, and ordered the clerk to quickly get the high-quality silk to wrap the sword case, and went to exchange the small-value banknotes himself.
Once the money was exchanged, Lu Yu took two sharp weapons and left the Zhenwu shop with Xiao Suo. When they walked to a secluded place, they suddenly stuffed the King of Yue sword and the sapphire dagger into his hands: "A few small things are my favor to Mr. Xiao." A little bit of kindness, you don't want to refuse."
Xiao Suo froze on the spot dumbfounded, opened his mouth slightly to look at him, but couldn't say a word.
There was no refusal in Lu Yu's expression, and he added with a smile: "Master Xiao, please don't forget what you promised that day. In this weather, drinking a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus tea is the most warming." After finishing speaking, he turned around went.
Xiao Suo held more than 2 taels of antiques in his arms, and walked back slowly until his legs were numb from standing.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the lights were just coming on, and there were people coming and going around to have fun.He clenched his fingers tightly, always feeling that there were a hundred pairs of eyes staring at him.
As soon as he entered Xuanhuafang, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.Xiao Suo was startled, and ran away, dashing as if fleeing for his life, stumbled, almost fell into the lotus pond.He hurriedly stopped and looked back, where is the half shadow?Only then did I know that it turned out that I was suspicious just now.
Xiao Suo took a breath, and said to himself: "This is really mediocre!"
But he didn't know that Eleven, who followed him up and down on the roof, was pursing his lips and snickering at the moment. ——Fool, take a piece of gold and use it as a jade seal, who will let the dog chase him?
Xiao Suo ran home frightened, did not dare to stop when he met Ouyang Xu, hurriedly hid in the house, put another gray cloth bag on the outside of the satin bag, and hid it under the bed, heaved a sigh of relief.
When he returned from running for too long, his feet were completely bled out, leaving two deep red marks on the upper of the shoe.Xiao Suo had no choice but to sprinkle some golden medicine on it, and cut off a piece of veil to wrap it up.
It's just that, the shoes are a little squeezed.He also begged a pair of old shoes that Ouyang Xu didn't wear from Shan Gu, put them in for a try, and they turned out to be bigger.
On the second day, when he went to the Hongwen Museum, his shoes didn't follow his feet, so he hurried too slowly, but it was still too late.The face of the card collector in the concierge was not very good, and he was a little scared in his heart. He apologized repeatedly and carefully before entering the hall.
When everyone saw him coming in, they didn't say anything, they just glanced at him and then concentrated on their work.At noon, Liu Siwen came to ask him why.Xiao Suo felt very ashamed, lowered his head and confessed his mistake, and said that Lu Yuan couldn't make it in time, and he won't in the future.
Liu Siwen just said coldly: "Lu Yuan went out early, this time I will not take it as an example." Then he turned and left.
Xiao Suo sighed, and went to the alley outside the restaurant to buy a burrito - the food sold in the alley here is much cheaper than the meals in the restaurant, he was very happy to find this Qiaozong the day before yesterday, These two days have been spent around the top, so that at the end of the month, a lot of money can be saved.
After buying the cakes, he went into the hall to have lunch with everyone.This has been the case for the past few days. Eating together can not only enhance the relationship, but also facilitate discussion.
Xiao Suo felt that this was very good.
As soon as I got to the second door, I suddenly heard a voice from inside saying: "... Amitabha, at least he didn't come to eat today. It's obvious that I'm bored to death, and I have to perfunctory. I'm really tired!"
"That's right!" Another person said: "For this reason, my mother went to Nanshan to ask for a talisman for me. She said that wearing it on her body can block evil spirits. It's really unlucky to work with this broom star! I heard that he was imprisoned. In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he has killed everyone else, but he himself is fine, which shows that his skills are profound!"
"If it wasn't for the Yanfu's face, I would have to advise the school secretary to prevent him from harming the sage's classics here." Another person said.
Everyone was chattering, and they were complaining about him.Xiao Suo was stunned for a moment, and silently took the cake to sit and eat on the steps outside.He thought about it, but couldn't figure it out.
Obviously everyone got along very well in the first two days, and everyone was quite enthusiastic, so why did they arrange themselves like this after reciting the incident?Forget about the other things, he is indeed poor and humble, and he does have an affair with the rich and prominent Shen Yan, so he can't complain about it.It's just nonsense that catastrophic stars possessed bodies and demons reincarnated. How could they talk like that?
Xiao Suo didn't understand, never understood, and probably won't understand in the future.But he can dodge far away, so he can't beat them.He touched the black pearl on his waist, and felt much more at ease.
He is not a scourge, he is not.
However, he still greeted him gracefully, arching his hands to suppress the trembling in his voice: "Lu Zhuangyuan."
Lu Yu smiled softly and had deep meaning: "Young Master Xiao, we meet again." He raised the dagger in his hand: "Is this what Young Master Xiao likes? It's really extraordinary."

Lu Yu called the clerk and asked in front of him, "Is this dagger the best in your shop?"
The clerk said flatteringly: "Master Hui, among the short blades, this one is the most expensive. If you like, you can also have a look at the long sword. We have a sword used by Yue King Goujian in our shop, it is a rare treasure!"
"Really?" Lu Yu smiled, his eyes turned from the buddy to Xiao Suo who was standing with his head bowed, "I'll take a look at it, then I'll buy it."
