Chapter 419: The Lin Family's Shop, North of Jinling City
As a high-end consumable product of this era, paper can only be used by scholars in addition to the government academy. But for ordinary scholars, they are usually reluctant to use paper to write, and a piece of paper is absolutely very precious to them! And like Shi Yuan, the act of wiping his butt with paper can be called an extreme waste!
For a while, the silence and calm of Jinling City were broken by the news from the Lin family's shop. The shops that are usually crowded with birds have a long queue at this time. And the four shops of the Lin family are all like this. Even some small stall vendors who don't usually read books and don't need paper will line up to buy some ...... After all, the price of this paper is only half of the usual, isn't it a pity that such a cheap price is not taken?
Jiangnan Poetry Club has attracted many talented people from other places, those with rich families, after coming to the Lin family's shop, they even want to buy them all, but unfortunately, the Lin family's shop is "limited purchase", and it is sold out while supplies last!
As for the speculation about the Lin family's behavior this time, there were many opinions in Jinling City for a while. At the beginning, some people thought that the Lin family was breaking the jar and gave up completely. But with the spread of the news of the miracle of the Lin family's new workshop, everyone realized that the Lin family's seemingly loss-making behavior did not seem to be simple!
The Jin family who scraped the ground, this time ...... I'm afraid it's really a failure!
It's just that...... Although they knew that the Jin family had bought the Lin family's workshop and shop in Yangzhou, what they didn't know was ...... The Jin family spent almost all of their savings to buy it this time! This time, the Jin family is not just a failure, if the Lin family is not affected by this matter, then it will be their Jin family who is finished!
In the Lin family's workshop in the north of Jinling City, opposite is a two-story teahouse, and in a private seat on the second floor, a very handsome man is sitting opposite Luo Haotian at this time. There is a trace of evil charm between his eyebrows, he is wearing fine nylon satin, and the folding fan in his hand is inlaid with gold wire, which makes people know at a glance that this person is either rich or expensive!
And what is even more surprising is that Luo Haotian, who is known as the King of Jinling Luoyan, has a flattering face at this time, and he seems to have great respect for this young man! And the man, his face was always unhappy or smiling, and his expression was very indifferent.
The seats where the two of them were sitting were just by the window, and looking down through the thin curtain, they could see the crowd on the street that was surrounded at the door of the Lin family's shop. The noisy sound is even more endless.
Sitting opposite Luo Haotian, the gentle-looking man picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip gently, then withdrew his eyes looking out of the window, and smiled slightly at Luo Haotian with a little meaning: "Lord Luo, don't just sit still, come and drink tea!" “
After he finished speaking, Luo Haotian picked up the teacup, hurriedly smiled flatteringly, and replied: "Master Mo is really polite, originally the junior official wanted to invite you to the Qingfeng Pavilion......"
Before Luo Haotian finished speaking, he didn't even have time to drink the tea in his hand, when Mo Gongzi, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly interrupted him: "How?" Lord Luo dislikes this place too shabby and unworthy of your identity? ”
Luo Haotian's ruthlessness yesterday that covered the sky with one hand was quietly nothing, hearing that Mo Gongzi's words, seeing that Mo Gongzi's eyes, he put down the teacup in his hand in a panic, and then knelt on the ground in fear! opened his mouth and said: "Childe, don't misunderstand, Childe came to Jinling City, he should have been a petty official, I was just worried that this downtown was too noisy, and I spared Childe's Yaxing......"
"That's it!" Luo Haotian was explaining in a panic, but Mo Gongzi interrupted him again: "Lord Luo, hurry up and speak, so that if others see it, I am afraid that the prestige of the King of Luo Yan in Jinling City will be damaged!" ”
Luo Haotian heard this, so he wiped the cold sweat soaked from his forehead, stood up tremblingly...... "Sit down!" That Mo Gongzi made another gesture of invitation to Luo Haotian, and Luo Haotian nodded and sat down.
"Although Qingfeng Pavilion is a good place, it is not suitable for going today......" Seeing Luo Haotian sit down, that Mo Gongzi spoke again. Speaking of this, he paused again, and suddenly changed the topic: "Master Luo, tell me about Shi Yuan!" ”
"Shi Yuan?" Luo Haotian obviously didn't know why the other party was interested in Shi Yuan, and muttered to himself with some doubts, then he smiled indifferently, and replied with an indifferent face: "He's just a hairy thief, where can he enter the eyes of Gongzi?" When this Jiangnan poetry meeting arrives, we will make a big deal, and this kind of role petty official will deal with it! ”
Hearing Luo Haotian's swearing, that Mo Gongzi picked up the teacup on the table with some playfulness, looked at him with a smile, and didn't speak until a long time: "Is it a hairy thief?" But in the past few days that I have been in Jinling City, there are all kinds of rumors about him in the city, if this is the hairy thief in your mouth, Lord Luo, then ...... Is this Jinling City really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? What's more, I've heard that your King Luo Yan seems to have suffered a lot at his hands, right? ”
As soon as the words fell, the teacup in the hand of Mr. Mo shattered in half, and then the fragments and the water in the cup fell on the table together, the tea splashed, and the broken teacup fell from the table to the ground, jingling...... And that Mo Gongzi's hand is safe and sound!
Luo Haotian, who had just sat down, knelt on the ground again in fear: "The little official knows the mistake, the little official knows the mistake, and I hope that Master Mo, you don't have to blame ......."
And this time, that Mo Gongzi did not ask Luo Haotian to stand up again, but glanced at the scene outside the window again, until a long time, then turned his head to look at Luo Haotian, and said sharply: "You Luo Haotian don't think that you are really the Luo Yan King of Jinling City!" It's not for you to stay in Jinling City for so many years to make you declare a personal vendetta! If anything goes wrong this time, you ...... You should know the consequences, right? ”
Luo Haotian, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't know how much cold sweat was soaked on his head, and said tremblingly: "What Mo Gongzi said is that the petty official should die, the petty official should die......"
"Damn it or not, it's not up to you to say it now!" When Mr. Mo heard Luo Haotian's words and saw his appearance, he seemed to be a little impatient, so he stopped at him: "What I will explain to you today, you should hurry up and do it!" ”
Luo Haotian, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to be relieved, nodded and stood up and retreated......
And that Mo Gongzi turned to look out the window again...... It wasn't until a long time that he came back to his senses, picked up a new teacup from the table, filled himself with tea, and took a sip of it......
