Volume 2 Chapter 18: Dogs Relying on Human Power (Part 1)

Thirteen days, it sounded unlucky, but the jewelry business of the Yefu Guild Hall made a lot of money.

The jewelry that Ye Xiaoyi and Hua Tuo tinkered with were popular among the middle and upper classes of Luoyang, and the crude jewelry made by followers also gave the women in Luoyang a chance to keep up with the trend.

Yefu limited edition jewelry.

This sentence filled every Luoyang woman's head like a curse. Ye Xiaoyi used this half-true and half-false publicity to instruct the Ye family to go to the black market to auction off defective jewelry as special products and hype up the prices.

"Have Fengxiao, Ye Hu and others contacted merchants from Jing, Xu, Yang, Yi, Qing, the Western Regions Changshi Mansion and other places?" Ye Xiaoyi held a book in his hand and pretended to discuss classics and history in a fake way.

"I'm still in touch, I heard from Ye Qing that those chambers of trade have the intention of jointly selling prices." Guo Jia cooperated with his fingers and pointed the account book in a book like a book. "However, it's very expensive to host the women of these high-ranking officials and noble families. Do you reduce it appropriately?"

"Hehe, it's not because of the high expenses, it's because you were harassed? Be good, sacrifice it. If we didn't have the capital to sacrifice, we could still let you stand out." Ye Xiaoyi turned around and saw the women in the carriages behind him whispering to Guo Jia with a smile: "Do you remember the songs Hua Tuo taught you well?"

"Well, he also reminded him in every way, saying that the first opening song was "The East Wind Break" and the ending song was "The Scent of Osmanthus in August". Guo Jia thought the song was quite simple and catchy. In Ye Xiaoyi's words, it was very convenient to popular. Under the demonstration of Ye Xiaoyi and Hua Tuo, he no longer wanted to adapt to Luoyang, but to make Luoyang adapt to Ye Mansion.

Leading the trend is the kingly way.

Guo Jia turned around and found that countless pairs of women's eyes were discharged at him, making him wonder who to look at.

"Fengxiao, smile." Ye Xiaoyi could think of those people's expressions without looking back.

"Oh." Guo Jia smiled with a conditioned reflex and waved his hand slightly. The anxious voices of maids kept coming from the convoy that accompanied him behind.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Madam, Madam?"

"Carry water for the lady."

"Hurry up the lady."

"You are really a disaster to the country and the people." Ye Xiaoyi looked at Guo Jia proudly, as if it was not Guo Jia but her who made many women crazy.

"Isn't it all you and Hua Tuo that made the mistake?" Guo Jia sighed, "Today you are not only asking me to talk about poetry and books with these people, but playing the piano and music is that simple?"

"Of course, you have to chat with Cai Yan more and be close to those unmarried women, so that their hearts can be thrilled but they can only look at you and cannot do anything." Ye Xiaoyi pinched Guo Jia with a glance, "Keep the mystery and intimacy, and keep your SUPER-STAR identity unshakable for a hundred years."

"I can't stand it." Guo Jia fainted. He looked at Ye Xiaoyi and suspected that Ye Xiaoyi had a tendency to create a trend of female chivalrous women in Luoyang. Before going out today, Ye Xiaoyi said that it was inconvenient for women to ride horses, so he resolutely changed into the costumes he had watched on TV. As a result, when the women saw them, there were some surprises, some cheering, and some despising, and all kinds of strange reflections were reflected. Of course, when he came out, the reflections would be very consistent.

I didn't dare to let Ye Xiaoyi talk anymore. Guo Jia led the team and arrived at the river bank next to Taicang under the name of Ye Xiaoyi asking everyone to chant the poems and enjoy the scenery in autumn.

Luoyang is surrounded by water, so shipping is very developed. Various ships from south to north shuttle through, using Luoyang as a transit, gathering goods from all over the place here and transporting them to all directions. The pier near Taicang in the east of the city is one of the best shipping ports.

Although there are many merchant ships, the scenery here is the most beautiful. Several senior officials in the court built a garden near the river bank, but what is notorious is that some eunuchs built houses here.

The Tao is different and does not plan with each other.

In this spirit, those senior officials were preparing to sell nearby houses. Ye Xiaoyi, who heard the news, wanted to buy this golden land in the spirit of "if you have money but don't make money, you're a bastard", and then open a branch to entertain ships and deliver the goods from the Ye Mansion to a further place.

After getting off the carriage, Ye Xiaoyi led everyone upstairs.

This boat was bought by Ye Mansion. It is very large, with a narrow front and wide back. It is guessed that the bottom is slightly flat from the exposed part of the water. There is a pavilion on the upper side of the boat, and more than a dozen noble women can enter and exit the upper floor. The downstairs are used to accommodate maids, servants, chefs and others. A "mountain" is hung under the bow of the boat to moor the boat, and the stern is a small helm room. The rudder is inserted obliquely behind, and a hole is also opened on it to hang so that the boat will not be damaged when it docks.

Originally, Ye Xiaoyi wanted to rent a boat, but Ye Qing, who was deeply influenced by her true teachings, expressed his objection. The two said it was best to buy it and decorate it in the style of Ye's mansion. Then, after hiring all the women's family today, they used this as a gimmick and rented it to others for fun. In this way, they could sell food, decorative items, and earn rent, killing two birds with one stone, which was much more cost-effective than renting.

When Ye Xiaoyi heard this, he slapped his thigh and lamented that there are wealth in the country and people are better than the other.

Ye Qing and Ye Hu were approved and excitedly picked up the boat, bought the boat, and decorated it. When the girls came, they saw it carefully decorated the building boat.

The refurbished hull is not raised, and the attic is so gorgeous that it makes people unable to see. The curtains beside the window are pulled like bamboo slips, and curtains are made of silk cloth with excellent light transmission. When they enter, the table is filled with Ye Mansion's special desserts, and the special soft-collapse is also filled with cartoon-like cotton cushions.

After the girls came in, they couldn't help but rush over and hug several cute cushions, and asked Chen Xian to do more and send them to the mansion. Chen Xian agreed one by one, so the girls formed a gang and sat in a sharp contrast with Guo Jia and Ye Xiaoyi, who were slightly lonely on the screen.

There is still a difference between men and women. With so many women here, Ye Xiaoyi was afraid that they would swallow Guo Jia alive, so he used a screen to separate everyone from Guo Jia. She chatted with Guo Jia for a few words, and went in to find a corner to sit down, waiting for Guo Jia to perform.

Life is miserable.

Guo Jia sighed and asked his servant to come over and play the songs he had discussed with Hua Tuo in advance.

From ancient times to the present, from China to outside.

Hua Tuo, a guy with a good background, remembers a lot of songs, enough to choose a group of women who are suitable for the late Han Dynasty to appreciate. Of course, even if it is not suitable, it doesn’t matter. He discussed with Ye Xiaoyi. If there is a popular one, it will be promoted immediately to the public. If there is an unpopular one, it will be marked as “Guo Jiazhi’s music exploration” and sold to high-level officials who like to claim that they are good at it, so that they can pay a high price and make some blood. Anyway, no matter whether it sounds good or not, after the correct operation, the Ye family will not lose money.

"Oh, I'm wrong."

Ye Xiaoyi listened to the women for a while and found that his and Hua Tuo's ideas might be disappointed. Because no matter what style of music Guo Jia played, these women showed a fascinated expression, and the obvious intention of the drunkard was not in the wine.

In this way, what you play is not important, but who plays the most important thing.

Ye Xiaoyi threw a fried dumpling into his mouth, and suspected that if he had played the song "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" himself, it would be strange if he was not beaten out by everyone.

After playing for an hour and a half, the "Guo Jia's first concert in Luoyang" ended successfully. The attendance rate was 100%, the cheering rate was 100%. The auction rate of the instruments used in the performance was 100%. The auction rate of the cute seat cushions used in the performance was 100%. The auction rate of the cute case used in the performance was 100%. The auction rate of the cute ceramic cup used in the performance was 100%...

"If Guo Jia farts, will they buy it?" Ye Xiaoyi felt that her thoughts became more and more strange. She shook her head suddenly, letting herself forget this perverted idea, and was ready to let everyone "meet" at the buffet to enhance their satisfaction with buying goods. Of course, Guo Jia also had to greet everyone, discuss poetry and books very seriously, pretending to be unintentionally melancholy and cold, and play the role of the emperor superstar.

Guo Jia was not satisfied with the public's expectations, and he was good at dancing among the women. He also talked to Cai Yan about the music and poetry of the people according to Ye Xiaoyi's instructions, which led to the change in Cai Yan's eyes when he looked at him.

Ye Xiaoyi, you won’t want to harm me, right? I remember Cai Yan, you used to sell to Fuluo in every possible way.

Guo Jia pinched his thighs and found that the look of the women around him looking at Cai Yan was not right. It was obviously mixed with jealousy and envy. What's more, he even held the hairpin he had just bought, which was a tendency to make Cai Yan's blood splatter on the spot.

While hesitating, Shen Xian arranged the carriages and horses for everyone and asked the women to get off the boat. The girls looked at Guo Jia reluctantly, entered their carriages and horses with a sad expression of life and death, and walked back along the way.

"I'm scared to death. I tell you that I will never do such a thing again." Guo Jia was still scared and said firmly that he should not be an idol after he followed Ye Xiaoyi on a horse.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, as she patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and promised.

"This is almost the same." Guo Jia, who was temporarily deceived, nodded relievedly, turned his head and looked at the convoy in front, his eyes widening.

"What's wrong?" Ye Xiaoyi saw that Guo Jia became nervous and hurriedly stepped forward and asked what happened to the servant who ran over.

"Report to the young master." The servant is an old man from the Ye family. When he saw the female hero dressed up, Ye Xiaoyi shouted out casually: "There are several dogs in front that blocked the way of these noble women and relatives. They could not drive them away, and they could not scold them. As a result, some servants rushed out. The young one asked them to drive away the dogs away so that the dogs would not harass the female members' carriages, but no one of them would come forward."

What kind of dog? What kind of slave? Why are you so arrogant? These people are all high-ranking officials and female relatives from famous scholars. How can something happen?

Ye Xiaoyi and Guo Jia saw that the female servants were in a panic, so they drew their swords and urged them to go to the front of the convoy to see the development of the situation.

At the forefront of the convoy, things were more serious than those described by the Ye family servants. Several vicious dogs snatched the horses from front to back, which scared the horses to run in a fright. The drivers were all desperately pulling them to avoid the wives and ladies in the car.

"Young master, please get off the car first." Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Xian ran over to suggest to Ye Xiaoyi. She also knew that if something happened, the Ye family's business would not be able to do it.

"Okay." Ye Xiaoyi got off the horse. Seeing that the convoy was long, he nodded and asked the Ye family to have one car each, and advised the female members in front of the convoy to get off the car first and avoid the back.

Guo Jia also dismounted and rushed to a few strangers who were running over, saying, "Is your dog in front of you? Why not take it away? The car is full of female relatives from the Gongqin family. If there is any mistake, how can you afford it?"

"Sir, it's not that we won't take it away. This... this dog is out of control." Although those servants were dressed well and looked a little arrogant, they also knew that they were high-ranking officials and nobles, looking at the appearance of the convoy and the clothes of Shen Xian, Guo Jia and others.

"What dog? So fierce?" Guo Jia frowned and stepped forward with Ye Xiaoyi.

Meow, where is this an ordinary dog?

Ye Xiaoyi saw the roaring dogs who were harassing horses and passers-by, and felt that this behemoth looked like a mastiff.
