The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

When Lu Changping heard Li Jixin's words, his first reaction was to say yes.

But when he heard Li Jixin calling himself his brother again, Lu Changping felt a little annoyed.

Li Jixin was only one year older than him, but he always treated him like a child and teased him.

"I won't go. The Lu family has too much going on."

Li Jixin didn't force it and just looked at Han Qingyun.

"Then I can only ask Mr. Han to come with me."

Lu Changping immediately became unhappy.

"Second Young Master, your uncle is a scholar. How could he possibly go to a barbarian land like the Northern Rong? It's too dangerous. You have so many talented people around you."

"I've fought so many battles with the Beirong, and they're already familiar with the people around me. I need to find someone who's new to me but also smart enough to go with me. After looking around, Mr. Han seems to be the most suitable."

Lu Changping knew that Li Jixin was talking nonsense, and it was impossible for him to take Han Qingyun to Beirong alone.

But Han Qingyun is already the right historian of Prince Lin's Palace. If Li Jixin really wants him to accompany him, he can only follow.

"My uncle is weak, I will go with you." Lu Changping said unhappily.

Li Jixin smiled with his eyes curved: "It would be even better if Changping is willing to go. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you."

"Thank you, Second Young Master." Lu Changping replied.

Li Jixin laughed even louder...

Nanyuan Xinxiang Pavilion, a pretty woman with well-shaped eyebrows and beautiful eyes entered the store with her maid.

Shopkeeper Jiang, who was greeting a haughty man, secretly groaned inwardly when he saw the woman's luxurious clothes.

This woman probably came to bring a birthday gift to the prefect's wife.

Since the Lu family left Wuping County last year, Xinxiang Pavilion has not put any new goods on the shelves for more than a year.

Nowadays, most of the shops selling jewelry and spices in Shangyang Prefecture have closed down, and only his family is still struggling to survive.

Business is neither good nor slow, and I can barely get rid of the old goods from previous years.

He wanted to deal with the inventory, so he followed Manager Wang to Jiyang to find his boss.

But as the birthday party of the prefect's wife was approaching, officials of all ranks and wealthy families in the city were trying to cater to her tastes and find some rare items.

Xinxiang Pavilion has been famous for its novel jewelry and spices in previous years. Now that there is no competition, business has suddenly picked up again.

But now, what good things are there in his shop?

Anything slightly more precious was sold out.

I made a lot of money, but I also offended a lot of people...

Yesterday, the wife of Mr. Fan came to Xinxiang Pavilion and saw that there was nothing she liked, so she got very angry in the store.

Today she sent the housekeeper again, asking Manager Jiang to find a piece of jewelry that could surpass all the other gifts.

Shopkeeper Jiang lamented, isn't this putting him in a difficult position?

If it were in previous years, he would have just told the young master and what good things could he not find?

But now, thanks to the prefect's nephew, Emperor Zhaowen, his entire family went to Jiyang.

Shopkeeper Jiang cursed in his heart, the imperial court was so damn incompetent.

"Manager Jiang, my wife has urged us several times, but you are still putting it off. Could it be that you have accepted bribes from other companies and are deliberately making things difficult for my wife?"

The arrogant man was Liu Jiang, the housekeeper of Fan Tongzhi's family.

"Oh, my housekeeper Liu, even if you give me ten guts, I wouldn't dare neglect the affairs of Master Fan's family."

Shopkeeper Jiang gestured to the waiter to ask the two people who came in to sit down, while he bowed repeatedly to Liu Jiang.

"Butler Liu, look, all the things in my store are here. Although the styles are a bit old, they are all good things.

Look at this ruby. Although it is a little small, it has bright color and is very noble.

Look at this hairpin again, it has an exquisite shape and is a rare and valuable item.

I'll have the craftsmen polish this ruby ​​and embed it in this hairpin. I guarantee it will be something that will be presentable."

He unnoticeably took out a silver note and put it into Liu Jiang's hand.

"Please ask Butler Liu to say a few good words for me in front of Madam."

Liu Jiang looked at the banknotes and felt satisfied.

"Since you're willing to help Madam with her worries, I won't make it difficult for you. Whether it works or not will depend on the final product."

"Don't worry, Steward Liu. It will be absolutely fine. Please sit here and rest for a while. I'll have the waiter prepare some fine spices for Miss Liu. You can take them back."

Miss Liu is Liu Jiang's daughter.

He was satisfied that Manager Jiang was a good person and a good talker.

"Well, go and do your work."

Shopkeeper Jiang bowed again and turned to the two new women who had come in.

"I wonder if this person..."

Shopkeeper Jiang was a little stumped. Judging from the woman's dress, it seemed that she was not married.

But in Shangyang Prefecture, there are very few unmarried beautiful women entering public places in recent years.

That Mr. Fan is notoriously lustful, and Mrs. Fan is also notoriously jealous...

"My lady's surname is Yang."

The maid beside the woman said.

The maid had an ordinary appearance, but her voice was exceptionally clear and pleasant.

Shopkeeper Jiang immediately nodded in agreement.

"Miss Yang, what do you need to buy? I'll have someone bring out the things for you to choose from."

When the woman surnamed Yang heard this, a look of worry appeared on her face.

The maidservant said a few words of comfort in a soft voice and began to explain to Shopkeeper Wang why they had come.

"We are from Guanzhong Prefecture. We were originally going to Yuezhou Prefecture with my master to purchase goods. However, when we were returning through Lujiang Prefecture, we were robbed by thieves.

In order to protect the young lady, my master took people to lure away the thieves, and then lost contact.

Before leaving, the master asked the young lady to meet him at Shangyang Mansion.

But we searched all the way from Qingping County to the provincial capital, but still couldn't find the master.

In the process of searching for the master, we had used up all our money.

The young lady had no choice but to sell the goods she had brought from Yuezhou Prefecture on consignment."

Shopkeeper Jiang understood that the world had been in a bad state in recent years, with bandits rampant.

He felt a little excited when he heard that the two had returned from Yuezhou Prefecture.

"You two are coming from Yuezhou Prefecture. There's a Linlang Department Store there. Have you heard of it?"

The maid looked at Shopkeeper Jiang, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she nodded.

Shopkeeper Jiang felt a pang of sadness and couldn't help asking, "Is everything going well at the department store? They..."

He wanted to ask how nice the boss was, but he glanced at Liu Jiang and didn't say anything else.

Linlang Department Store in Yuezhou Prefecture is the Lu family's most hidden industry. Outsiders don't know that the boss behind the department store is Lu Fugui.

The maid's eyes were gentle as she nodded again and said, "Linlang Department Store is doing very well."

Shopkeeper Jiang's eyes were slightly red. "Okay, okay, okay, thank you for letting me know, young lady. What are you two looking to consign?"

The maid took out an exquisite little box from her sleeve pocket.

When the box was opened, Manager Wang's eyes lit up.

It was a pink pearl necklace.

In Dayu Kingdom, pink pearls are extremely rare.

What’s even more rare is that these pearls are slightly larger than soybeans, and are uniform in size and lustrous.

Shopkeeper Jiang couldn't help but pick up the box and examine it carefully.

"Good stuff, good stuff!"

It's not like he hasn't seen the world.

Most of the jewels in Xinxiang Pavilion were obtained by Lu Fugui from people in Southeast Asia. Their quality is excellent in Shangyang Prefecture and even in the entire Dayu.

But Shopkeeper Jiang had never seen such a pure pink pearl necklace.

Even Lu Fugui only brought back pink pearls three times, and there were no more than ten in total.

But this necklace has more than 60 pearls at first glance.

The more Shopkeeper Jiang looked at it, the more he found it surprising. The pink pearls their young master had brought back were slightly larger than this one, but the sizes were uneven and not as round and shiny as this one.

But even pink pearls like that are sold at extremely high prices.

He couldn't imagine what price this pearl necklace would sell for.

"Ms. Yang, this lady, how do you two plan to consign this?"

Miss Yang still looked a little reluctant.

"Ayan, do you really have to sell this necklace? The Nanyang merchant said that even in their country, necklaces like this are extremely rare. There is only this one in the whole of Dayu."

Liu Jiang had long been attracted by the necklace.

Isn’t this what their wife said, something that can surpass all the gifts?
