"Dangdang... Dangdang..."

The bell rang from time to time, which was a signal for the yamen to be on duty, and there was a burst of speech and laughter from the yamen in the imperial city, and some anxious officials stepped on the bell and walked out.

There is no specific time for officials in the Tang Dynasty to go to work, and they have to work in the yamen at sunrise, and this time is concentrated in the middle of the day, so the ancient officials went to work in the yamen and called the mao, and sometimes they had to go back to work at five o'clock in the morning, which was a bit bitter for later generations.

The advantage is that it only takes half a day to go to work, and after noon, the yamen leaves the people on duty, and the others can go home, whether it is to eat, or to visit friends to find flowers and wine, the time can be arranged freely.

According to the habit of working from 9 to 5 in later generations, it will not work in Chang'an, because Chang'an has a curfew, and the city gate will be closed as soon as the sun sets.

Officials are also expected to socialize and have fun.

After arranging the shift, Wang Changming and a doctor surnamed Jin walked outside the imperial city with a smile, and the two were invited by Xiao Tuan'er, the flower of Qunfang Courtyard, to drink flower wine in Qunfang Courtyard.

I don't know when it has become a trend to send a set of wind instruments to the women of the Qinglou.

The prostitutes who have heads and faces in the Qinglou have their own exclusive rooms, and they give a set of wind to the Qinglou woman they like, not only the person who sends it has face, but even the Qinglou woman who receives the wind has a light on her face.

Later, I didn't receive the gift of the benefactor, and it became a benchmark for the women of the Qinglou to be popular, more than 200 large and small Qinglou in Pingkangfang, more than 10,000 women in the Qinglou, and the demand was great, and the craftsmen of the Three Treasures were busy and crazy, and it was in this context that Wang Changming, who had always been romantic, also sent a wind to Xiao Tuan'er, who he liked.

Got the wind to the ceremony presented by Siqing, Xiao Tuan'er was very happy, and invited the banquet to Qunfang Courtyard, and the beauties were invited, Wang Changming gladly accepted the invitation, and also brought his good friend Jin Yushi to the banquet together, so that he could talk about things and enjoy the grace of the beauties at the same time.

Mainly to show off that he still has a strong heart at his age.

Out of the gate of the imperial city, before getting into the car, I saw a lot of people running in the direction of Pingkangfang, some officials who had just come out of the imperial city, heard a few whispers from their subordinates, turned their horses' heads, and walked in the direction of Pingkangfang.

I ran quite fast, as if I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to catch up if I was slow.

"Hey, what's going on?" Wang Changming asked in some surprise.

Jin Yushi said a little strangely: "It's all in the direction of Pingkangfang, is there something big in Pingkangfang, and a new Oiran has come?" ”

"Lang Jun" Wang Changming's groom said respectfully: "It's not Pingkangfang, but Chongyi Fang, Chongyi Fang has opened a new Changlong line, and everyone is rushing to Changlong Bank." ”

Wang Changming said a little strangely: "Chang'an is prosperous in business, and many businesses are closed every day. ”

"I heard that Changlongxing launched a bicycle, which is the same bicycle that Judge Zheng Shengtu rode Shi Ming's horse, and also took out ten of them as a lottery head, and there was a chance to go, and they were all in a hurry to try their luck."

When Jin Yushi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to Wang Changming: "Wang Siqing, it's not far anyway, it's better to take a look at the excitement first." ”

"There's still plenty of time to see, it's fun to see that bike." When Wang Changming heard this, he was immediately moved.

Several princes are in the capital, from time to time riding bicycles in the imperial city, people see it on the itch, Wang Changming has long been interested, but has been seeking to buy no way, there is a heart to find Zheng Peng, but can not pull the face, and Zheng Peng is not to Honglu Temple at all, want to knock no chance, heard that there are bicycles for sale, as soon as I heard it, I was moved.

"Knock knock.. Knock knock...."

Before arriving at Chongyi Fang, I heard the festive gongs and drums, and when I arrived at Chongyi Fang, I didn't need to ask, I saw the crowded crowd and the big red lanterns hanging high on the door, and I knew which one was Changlong.

There is a big wooden shelf in front of the most eye-catching Changlong line, there are ten bicycles of different colors stacked on the wooden shelf, each bicycle is also tied with a red ribbon on behalf of the festivities, needless to say, this is the bicycle that the whole Chang'an has been looking forward to for a long time, and it is also the color head of this event.

Not to mention, it can even win better than the mount of the Thir Shi Khan, and this alone is exciting.

"Queue, queue, everyone has a share, fair and notal."

"Don't worry, one for each person, and our shopkeeper will smoke it in public."

When I arrived at the gate of Changlongxing, I saw a long queue of people, among whom some scholars in Confucian robes stretched their necks and waited, Wang Changming noticed that many students of Guozijian were also in the queue.

Wang Changming asked only to know that these people lined up to get a lottery ticket.

The so-called lottery ticket is a piece of paper with a number, the two ends of the note are written with the same number, there are creases and riding marks in the middle, after getting the lottery ticket, tear it from the crease, and throw half of it into the big wooden box at the entrance of Changlong Line, and the number in the hand is the same as the number read out during the lottery, you can get a bicycle for free.

It's really thoughtful, you have a chance to draw a bicycle if you line up, or when you draw it, there is no black box operation, and many people are willing to queue up to receive coupons and try their luck.

has not officially gone on sale yet, and it has easily attracted a large wave of popularity.

When Jin Yushi heard this, he couldn't help but say: "This shopkeeper will do business, why not set it up in the East Market, where there are more people." ”

"This is exactly where he is shrewd" Wang Changming said with some appreciation: "There are many people in the East City, but the rent is even more expensive, every inch of land is gold, the bicycle looks at the whole Chang'an, here is the only one, the so-called wine is not afraid of deep alleys, there is no need to spend money in vain, the most important point is that the law does not allow officials to go to the east and west cities, if it is located in the East City, many dignitaries and nobles can not enter, it is better to set it here." ”

"Not bad" Jin Yuenvoy echoed: "It seems that it should have just opened, it is the time to calculate the time for officials to be on duty, and it seems that it is aimed at the upper class, hehe, presumably the price is not low." ”

Wang Changming squinted for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Jin Yushi, let's go, the girl is still waiting for us, don't let down the kindness of the beauty." ”

"Such a good thing, what, Wang Siqing doesn't plan to try his luck or buy one, it's not bad to experience it."

Wang Changming said calmly: "No, someone will send it soon, why spend this unjust money, maybe there is more than one, Jin Yushi, let's go, look at this posture, I don't know how long it will take to start selling, there are so many people, but they are willing to spend money and may not have goods." ”

The bicycle is from the Three Treasures, the owner behind the Three Treasures is Zheng Peng, Wang Changming is very sure, even if the Changlong is not Zheng Peng's, at least it has nothing to do with Zheng Peng, and now the county lord of Landor is still in Chang'an, and the name of Zheng Peng's deputy envoy is still there, and sooner or later he will have to find the door.

Jin Yushi laughed when he heard this, didn't say anything, followed Wang Changming into the carriage, and the two walked away.

The bicycle was launched, and I can't buy it today, I can buy it another day, but the invitation of Xiao Tuan'er, the flower of Qunfangyuan, is not available every day.

Or the beauty is more important.

Wang Changming didn't expect that on the second floor of the Huijing Restaurant next door to Changlong Xing, there was a pair of bright eyes through the window, watching him leave.

These eyes belong to Zheng Peng.

Changlong Hong is Guo Ketang's business opened specifically for the sale of bicycles, today is the opening day, Zheng Peng also wants to watch the market's reaction, and invited Guo Ziyi, Kuro and Landuo, these shareholders, to watch while eating, to see how Guo Ketang became a hit.

took out ten bicycles for a lottery at once, this is really not small, not to mention anything else, just this popularity knows that he has succeeded most of the time.

Seeing Wang Changming leave, Zheng Peng suddenly spoke: "Huang San"

"Young master, the little one is here." Huang Sanyi heard that he was called and responded as soon as possible.

"In my name, send two bicycles to Wang Siqing and Father-in-law Qian, and they will be done today, so go."

Now it is considered to be in Honglu Temple's and Zuojiaofang, lazy is lazy, the necessary filial piety is still indispensable, all say that the official level crushes people to death, whether the life can be comfortable, the attitude of the leader is very important.

It's okay to burn more incense, and it's not helpful to hold Buddha's feet in an emergency.

Huang San answered, then went downstairs and gave gifts.

At this time, Guo Ziyi came over: "Third brother, don't look at it, sit down and drink, watch while drinking, rest assured, there is so much foreshadowing in front, you also know Miss Guo's ability, just wait to watch the show." ”

Zheng Peng nodded and said: "That's right, after the lottery is drawn, it will take a while, come, drink, just celebrate that our Three Treasures have another way to make money." ”

Guo Ziyi put his hand on Zheng Peng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "With you, the God of Wealth, here, it's not easy to make money?" I didn't drink enough last time, so I must have a good drink today, hahaha. ”
