Chapter 199: The Opportunity Comes (Part 2)
On the morning of the fifth day after Zhao Shenping, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing traveled to the West Lake together, Xu Xian ran to the backyard of Baohetang with a brocade box, found Zhao Shenping, and said impatiently: "Brother Zhao, do you think I brought you any good things?"
"Something, that's making such a fuss about you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Zhao Shenping was a little curious.
"Brother Zhao, haven't you been secretly buying ginseng, lingzhi and other spiritual things? I can bring you a superb ginseng plant this time. Xu Xian said, opening the brocade box in his hand with a smile on his face.
Zhao Shenping immediately raised his eyebrows, feeling the rich aura emanating from the ginseng, and asked, "This ginseng must be at least more than five hundred years old, where did you get it?"
When Xu Xian heard this, he laughed and said, "Big brother, do you remember the Bai Zhantang and the Qingyulong that came to our Baohetang a few days ago to find fault?"
"Yes. ”
Zhao Shenping nodded, aren't Bai Zhantang and Qing Yulong the pseudonyms of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing disguised as men.
"Hehe, I bought this ginseng from them for only fifty taels of silver. ”
Xu Xian stretched out five fingers, with a smug expression.
"It's only fifty taels of silver, it's no different from giving it away for free, doesn't it? Don't they know the real price?"
When Zhao Shenping heard this, he suddenly understood, at this time, Bai Suzhen came to repay the favor, but he just wanted to know how Bai Suzhen did it, so he asked this question.
The smile on Xu Xian's face has not been broken since he entered the backyard, and he said with a fluttering eyebrow when he heard the words: "Brother Zhao, don't say it, I think the two of them really don't know the specific price of this ginseng, just now, the two of them took this ginseng to my pharmacy and wanted to sell it to me, as soon as I asked the price, they actually said seventy taels of silver!" I could see at a glance that this was at least 500 years old, and under normal circumstances, how could they shout such a low price, so I concluded that they didn't know the year of this ginseng, so I also pretended not to know, and bargained with them, but I didn't expect to tell me another 20 taels, and the two of them looked quite satisfied in the end, which really laughed at me. Hahaha... ”
After Zhao Shenping heard this, he snorted, and also laughed, he patted Xu Xian's shoulder with some pity and said, "Hanwen, well done." ”
"Haha, Brother Zhao has won the award, which means that he has met two laymen, otherwise how can there be such a good thing. ”
Xu Xian didn't notice it, and thought that Zhao Shenping was laughing at the two of them.
Zhao Shenping didn't mean to correct his thoughts, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about them." I will take this ginseng, count me as buying yours, and I will go and get you the silver later. ”
Xu Xian hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a serious face: "Brother Zhao, what are you doing here? These days, you have helped me so much, what's wrong with me giving you a ginseng plant? How could I take you money." ”
"Hanwen, this code is one code, I helped you just because we can talk, but not to ask you to repay. ”
Zhao Shenping knew what this ginseng meant, how could he take it for nothing.
Xu Xian stretched out his hand to pull him, but still refused: "Brother Zhao, you're right, I sent you this ginseng because we can talk about it, but it's not to ask you for silver." ”
"Hey, you're a good Chinese, you can learn my words. Zhao Shenping shook his head and smiled, and said: "You have to take this money today, you don't know, your eldest brother is not bad for money." Besides, I think those two people will sell you good things in the future, and if you don't have any money, and they sell to someone else, won't we lose a lot of money, so you must take this money, and when those two people sell you good things, you just need to remember to send it to me and sell it to me. Anyway, at this price, I definitely won't treat you badly. ”
Xu Xian was a little incredulous when he heard this: "This is impossible, those two people don't look like fools, how can they always sell ginseng that is more than 500 years old as ordinary ginseng?"
"Hehe, who can say for sure, when they come to you again in the future, you knock on the side and see if you can get them to get some better ones, like a thousand-year-old ginseng, vermilion fruit, Ganoderma lucidum and the like, that is the real good thing. ”
Xu Xian was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Those two can still get a thousand years of spiritual objects? Do they have that ability? And even if they really get it, they won't sell it to us at a low price if they know the true value of the treasure, right?"
"Hey, the value of those treasures can not be measured by money, if they can sell it to you, it will already be a great favor, no matter how much silver they want, you will agree, and when the time comes, you will send it to me, and I will pay twice the money to buy it. ”
When Xu Xian heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "Brother Zhao, if they can really find these thousand-year-old spiritual objects, of course I will buy them and send them to you, but don't you say anything about buying them for twice the money, in that case, wouldn't it be me to earn the difference between you in the middle?"
"Hanwen, if you want to say that, you don't want to sell it to me. ”
Zhao Shenping looked upright and said: "You may also have guessed, I am not an ordinary person, those genius earth treasures can improve my cultivation, but I can't find it, so if you can find it for me, it will be a great help to me, how can I not say something." ”
After speaking, Zhao Shenping didn't talk to him, but directly pushed his hand away, went to the house and took out five hundred taels of silver and handed it to him.
"Brother Zhao, this is absolutely unacceptable, if you have to give the silver, it will be twice as good as you say, now that there are so many, it should be more than ten times, no, no, you can take it back." ”
Zhao Shenping was a little upset by Xu Xian's humility, and frowned: "Hanwen, if you still recognize me as a big brother, just listen to me, otherwise you will take this ginseng back, and don't come in the future." ”
As soon as these words came out, what else could Xu Xian say, he could only accept it with a sneering face.
Seeing this, Zhao Shenping turned cloudy and clear, and said with a smile: "Hanwen, I'll go and absorb this century-old ginseng first, you can do whatever you want." ”
"Hey, Brother Zhao, I'm holding so much silver, where can I stay, I'd better go home first. ”
Xu Xian arched his hand with a wry smile on his face, and walked out of Baohetang with the box of silver.
Along the way, he was cautious and did not dare to stop at all, until he returned home, and his heart was relieved.
At this time, it was still early, and Yang Mei and Bailing were about to go out for a walk together, when they saw Xu Xian coming back with a box, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Xianggong, what's wrong with you, you are in a hurry." ”
Xu Xian said excitedly: "Baby, I have made a fortune with your husband." ”
"Ah, what's the fortune?"
Bai Ling hurriedly asked, looking curious.
"Come, come back to the house with me, and I'll tell you slowly. ”
。。。
Qiantang County's foreign revenge palace.
Bai Suzhen was pinching her fingers to calculate, and suddenly the corners of her mouth curled, and she said, "It's done." ”
Xiao Qing, who was standing on the side, heard the words and hurriedly asked, "Sister, did Xu Xian sell the ginseng?"
"Well, he sold it for five hundred taels of silver, and he was hiding money with his concubine. ”
Xiao Qing was a little curious when he heard this: "So fast, who did he sell to?"
Bai Suzhen smiled slightly, pinched her fingers again, and only after a while, she frowned lightly and muttered softly: "Strange!"
"What's wrong, sister?"
"When I calculated the ginseng buyers, it turned out to be chaos again. ”
"Huh?"
When Xiaoqing heard this, she was a little dumbfounded, and blurted out: "Xu Xian won't sell ginseng to Zhao Shenping or Mrs. Qiao, right?"
Bai Suzhen moved when she heard this, nodded and said, "It's not necessarily impossible." ”
When Xiaoqing heard this, she was a little speechless, and she didn't know what to say.
Bai Suzhen smiled and said to Xiaoqing: "Actually, it's nothing, we sold ginseng to Xu Xian, no matter what he did, it was already his business, and Brother Zhao knew that I was to repay my kindness, and I also bought it from Xu Xian with real money, which has no effect on me." ”
"Oh, that's fine. ”
When Xiaoqing heard this, she pursed her lips, her eyes rolled around, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
。。。
In Xu Xian's small courtyard, after he and Bailing and Yangmei hid the silver, they were suddenly interested, and pulled the two of them to prostitute themselves during the day, and lay on the bed after the end, Xu Xian hugged the delicate carcass of the second daughter, and said with emotion: "Now we are also rich, and tomorrow I will go to buy a maid for one of you, and I am looking for a bigger house, and I will get a garden, which has rockeries, ponds, and pavilions, so that you can also live the life of a rich wife." ”
A hint of longing flashed in Yangmei's eyes, stroked his chest, and said coquettishly: "Official, in fact, as long as we can always accompany you, our sisters will be satisfied." ”
Bai Ling also said to the side: "Yes, Xianggong, it is enough to have you." But well, if you can have a maid, a big house, and a garden, of course it's better, hehe... ”
When Xu Xian heard this, he laughed and pinched Bailing's little face: "You ghost spirit." ”
The three of them were tired of being on the bed for a while, Xu Xian got up and went to the pharmacy, and it didn't take long for his sister Xu Jiaorong to find him.
Xu Xian hurriedly got up and welcomed her to the back room, and said, "Sister, why are you free to come over today?"
Xu Jiaorong glanced at him and said, "You, if you have a beautiful concubine, you will forget about marrying a wife." ”
When Xu Xian heard this, he smiled wryly and asked, "Sister, how do you know?"
"Hmph, you don't want to think about what your brother-in-law does. ”
Xu Jiaorong saw Xu Xian's embarrassed look, and couldn't bear to count him, so she said: "You can be regarded as having a successful career now, and marrying two concubines is nothing, but it is not a good thing to take a concubine before marrying a wife, so I discussed it with the tailor Wang again, and prepared to marry you next month." ”
"This... Isn't it too hasty. ”
"I'm too slow. Xu Jiaorong glanced at him and warned: "Don't give me any moths, and settle this family affair with me." ”
When Xu Xian heard this, he had to nod his head in agreement.
"That's pretty much it. ”
Subsequently, Xu Jiaorong nagged Xu Xian to tell him many things to pay attention to after getting married, and only then did he snort lightly, and Shi Shiran got up and left.
