Chapter 10: Wei Liangqing asks for a monthly pass)

"Mr. Xiao, my name is Zhengtun. You can call me my name directly. I will take you to find a pawnshop."

After leaving the yard, I saw an old servant walking forward and saying.

Xiao Sheng nodded, knowing that this was Zhu Youjian's arrangement.

He didn't know the way here, and there were some people to guide him to prevent any accidents from happening in the middle.

There is naturally no shortage of pawnshops in the capital. Buy low and sell high, and the business here is huge profits.

And those who can do such a business must be behind them.

The owner behind the "Yunbao Pawnshop" is nothing but someone else, but the nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, who is known as the inner minister.

Of course, this kind of shop is not directly placed in Wei Zhongxian's name, but in his nephew Wei Liangqing.

With Emperor Tianqi's favor for Wei Zhongxian, Wei Liangqing was promoted to Duke Ningguo, and his wealth and authority reached a peak.

The shop bullies customers, and this pawnshop relies on Wei Liangqing's power and can be said to have committed many evil deeds.

Many things are obtained directly and flawlessly.

Xiao Sheng came here to pawn things, but the main purpose was not to exchange money.

When he walked into the store, the clerk behind the counter saw Xiao Sheng's outfit and knew that he was not an ordinary person. When he looked at his skin and demeanor, he was even more convinced that this person was either rich or noble.

"Is this young man going to pawn?" the clerk walked over and said with great sincerity.

Xiao Sheng held a cloth bag and nodded, "Of course, it's not all."

"Oh? What else do you have to do?" The clerk saw Xiao Sheng holding the thing and knew that he had a good baby, so his attitude was still very good.

Xiao Sheng approached and whispered: "This matter needs to be told to your shopkeeper in person."

The clerk hesitated for a moment when he heard this, nodded and said, "Okay! Then please wait for a moment."

If it were an ordinary person, he naturally didn't need to pay attention to such a request, but Xiao Sheng was dressed in bright clothes and wearing a Confucian scarf, so his identity was definitely not ordinary, and maybe there was a big deal.

If he missed it, the shopkeeper knew that he would be punished.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a little hunchback with a little hunchback walked out with a smile on his face.

"I have many negligences when visiting the door. Please forgive me! Do you have any treasures to be used for? My treasure pawn shop will definitely not let you suffer any losses."

Xiao Sheng laughed and said, "Why go to the inner room to talk?"

Seeing Xiao Sheng holding the cloth bag tightly with both hands, Zhang Gui knew that there was a good baby inside. He immediately turned sideways and said, "Please please in the young master!"

Seeing Xiao Sheng walk into the inner room, Zhang Gui winked at the clerk. He followed Xiao Sheng in, and the clerk closed the store door.

As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Sheng put the cloth bag on the table and said bluntly: "This thing is what I want to sell, and it is also a gift for Nine Thousand Years."

Zhang Gui was not surprised that Xiao Sheng mentioned Wei Zhongxian. In the Ming Dynasty, anyone with some knowledge would not know the name of Nine Thousand Years.

"It's not that any gift that Nine Thousand Years will accept." Zhang Gui smiled and went to open the cloth bag.

When the store doors were closed, he was naturally fearless and opened them directly without saying anything. Even if he took them away, he had never done such a thing.

Xiao Sheng did not stop him, just waiting for him to open it.

Then, Zhang Gui's body shook, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said incredibly: "Is this!?"

"Mirror, glazed treasure mirror!" Xiao Sheng said seriously.

After saying this, Xiao Sheng paused and continued, "I heard that during the Wanli period, Matteo Ricci, a missionary of the Western Regions, presented several glass mirrors to the emperor, but the one was only the size of a palm, and it was definitely not as clear as my treasure mirror.

As for whether there are people or not, I don’t know.”

Zhang Gui was puzzled when he heard this, "Then where did you get your glass treasure mirror?"

Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "This is why I came to look for Nine Thousand Years. My ancestors were Tang people, but I have lived overseas for a long time and have already established an industry in a very distant place.

This glazed treasure mirror was brought from the other end of the ocean.

My family has mastered the ocean channel. As long as we establish a cooperative relationship with Jiu Qiansui, we can continuously deliver this kind of treasure mirror to the Ming Dynasty from the other side of the ocean.

With the rarity of the glazed mirror in the Ming Dynasty, I think Nine Thousand Years will definitely not give up this huge wealth.

My family is willing to take out two components of the net profit and nine thousand years old to seek the protection of nine thousand years old.”

Xiao Sheng said nothing, and put everything on the surface.

"It's just 20% of the profit, and Nine Thousand Years may not be able to agree." Zhang Gui took his eyes off the glazed treasure mirror and said.

Xiao Sheng said slowly: "Can Jiu Qiansui agree? The shopkeeper just brings the words. After the matter is done, I will prepare a exactly the same treasure mirror for the shopkeeper as a hard work."

Zhang Gui laughed and said, "Prince Xiao, please rest assured. At this time tomorrow, I will tell you what Nine Thousand Years mean. I don't know where Mr. Xiao is resting, so I'll visit you tomorrow."

"I live in Qingyun Tower, waiting for good news. So, I will say goodbye today."

Looking at Xiao Sheng's back as he left, Zhang Gui immediately ordered the servant to follow him. After confirming that Xiao Sheng entered Qingyun Tower, he asked someone to follow him.

At the same time, he took a mirror to the residence of Wei Liangqing, Duke of Ningguo.

Wei Liangqing is his master, so of course he cannot go over Wei Liangqing to pay a visit to Wei Zhongxian directly. The point is that Wei Zhongxian will not see him directly.

Originally, Wei Liangqing was just a farmer who was a farmer at home. Suddenly, after Wei Zhongxian gained power, he began to cultivate his own power, and Wei Liangqing followed him to heaven.

Wei Liangqing, who had no merit, reached the position of Xu Da, the founding hero in a short period of time, which shows how powerful Wei Zhongxian is.

At this time, Wei Liangqing had reached a position that he could never reach in his dreams.

When Wei Liangqing saw this glass mirror, he felt a little surprised and couldn't help but say, "If this thing is given to his uncle, he will definitely be very happy. However, is this the best treasure mirror in the hands of that businessman?"

Zhang Gui was stunned by the question. When he thought, this treasure mirror was rare in the world, and of course he would not think about whether there was anything better. However, Wei Liangqing was not the case. He saw so many treasures, and he did not feel satisfied because of this mirror.

"Let's go, take me to meet this businessman." Wei Liangqing said.

Although he was originally just a farmer who could not read a word, he had one thing very good, that is, he was very cautious in dealing with uncle Wei Zhongxian. Ordinary people only satisfied Wei Zhongxian, while he tried his best to make Wei Zhongxian happy, exceeding Wei Zhongxian's expectations.

In this way, he was given such a great reward by Wei Zhongxian.

Qingyun Tower is Wei Liangqing's property. In the capital, Wei Liangqing's part is half of the top ten restaurants.

"Caomin Xiao Sheng met Duke Ningguo."

As soon as they met, Xiao Sheng spoke directly, but he did not salute.
