Chapter 584: Selling Jade
Shangguan Chaodi held the jade leaves in his arms, and looked at Zeng Aijun with little stars in his eyes, "Is there anything else?" These jade leaves are so beautiful, I want them, I want them, I want to buy them." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
After all, Mrs. Shangguan had seen the world, and at this moment she seemed to have understood Zeng Aijun's intentions, so she watched Zeng Aijun's performance with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.
Zeng Aijun aimed his two empty palms at the mother and daughter, then held each other, slowly pushed to the right, and when the left palm left, two leaves like high-grade mutton fat and white jade appeared, and they were also white and red, which was particularly beautiful.
Let the lady smile. β
"What are these jade leaves?" Mrs. Shangguan inquired, Zeng Aijun hurriedly said, "It was handed down by the ancestors in the past, but now I am in urgent need of money, so I used some small tricks, and please don't blame Madame." β
Mrs. Shangguan laughed, rubbed the jade leaf and said, "You are indeed smart, you know that if this thing is sent to a pawnshop or a silver building, it will inevitably be lowered, and the silver building is opened by my family, and you and the little girl have a doctor-patient relationship, so you can directly skip the intermediate links and send the things to our table." You must know in your heart that you have cured the little girl, and we are very grateful to you, and we will not treat you badly in terms of price, and we may buy your jade at a higher price than the original price. β
Mrs. Shangguan really hit the nail on the head, if she had changed to an ordinary person, she would have been red-skinned and embarrassed, and she couldn't wait to find a hole to drill into the ground, but what she met was the second fox brother with a black belly and thick skin.
The second fox brother didn't know what shyness was, and when he heard Mrs. Shangguan's words, he hugged his fists and complimented, "Madame is really a heroine, and I admire it so much." Since Madame is a Chinese expert, then I won't talk much, and Madame doesn't have to care about her status, please give a reasonable price. β
Shangguan Chaodi only reacted at this time, it turned out that Zeng Aijun came to perform a trick for her, and selling jade was real, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
But when she thought that she was rejected by Wang Zhuoyun before and couldn't eat in shame, it was the thin young man in front of her who enlightened her and amused her, so that she came out of the shadows, so she softened her heart again, as if she was coquettish, she pulled Mrs. Shangguan's sleeve and said, "Mother, these jade leaves, I like them so much, you can buy them, it just so happens that Dr. Zeng is in a hurry to use the money, and we can be regarded as doing good deeds." β
Madam Shangguan's eyes flashed, and the smile on her round face like a full moon gradually converged, "Originally, if you used such a means to sell jade, I could have people blast you out, but for the sake of you curing Di'er, I will spare you once." Now that Di'er is interceding for you, we will buy this jade, but don't think that we are all foolish. β
The second fox brother was calm, and he still had a faint smile on his face, "Don't dare." β
This Shangguan lady seems to be a little more difficult to deal with than expected.
Mrs. Shangguan picked out the two jade leaves that were as transparent as the finest jade, and the two jade leaves that were as white and red as the finest mutton fat and white jade, and put the other two jade leaves with green and yellow in the middle aside.
Pointing to the four leaves on the left and said, "Although the four leaves on the left are good, but after all, the jade leaves are very small, I will give you fifty taels of one, and the two pieces on the right are slightly inferior in color, I will give thirty taels of one, what do you think?"
Zeng Aijun quickly calculated the equivalent of ancient silver and modern renminbi in his heart, this jade leaf with better fineness, and the carving is so exquisite, it can be sold for at least 100,000 yuan in modern times, and in the most prosperous period of ancient times, taking the Tang Dynasty as an example, one or two pieces of silver is equal to about two to four thousand yuan;
So if he only takes the median value, for example, one tael of silver is equal to two thousand yuan, then fifty taels is exactly equal to one hundred thousand yuan, so that the price given by Mrs. Shangguan is neither high nor low.
Zeng Aijun is only a medicine apprentice in the Rejuvenation Hall now, if he is a well-known doctor, then Mrs. Shangguan will definitely not give this price.
Just like in modern times, if this jade leaf is packaged, it will definitely sell for more than 100,000 yuan.
Zeng Aijun calculated and found that he did not suffer more or lose less, even if he changed his family and sent it to the silver building in the county seat, he might not be able to sell it at this price, and the smile on his face became more and more intense, "Thank you, madam." β
Mrs. Shangguan instructed her personal mother with a faint face, and took two hundred and sixty taels of silver out, Zeng Aijun had a calm face, took the silver without humility or arrogance, and got up to say goodbye.
Shangguan Chaodi anxiously pulled Mrs. Shangguan's sleeve and coquettishly, "Mother, don't be angry with him, I think he must have no choice, he thought of this idea, he didn't really want to use his daughter, besides, his medical skills are so good, if someone else wants to give him a favor." β
Mrs. Shangguan glanced at Shangguan Chaodi thoughtfully, and touched her daughter's anxious little face fondly, "Don't worry, how can I blame him, he can do this, it means that he is a person with brains, and I like to deal with smart people very much." Di'er seems to care about Dr. Zeng very much?"
Shangguan Chaodi's face turned red all of a sudden, and he stomped his feet and said, "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about, I'm just grateful that he cured my illness." β
In fact, there may be a little bit of her feeling that Zeng Aijun is a male best friend, because she found that Zeng Aijun is very good at understanding people's hearts, very good at talking, and can always speak to her heart.
Zeng Aijun took two hundred and sixty taels of silver, went out of Shangguan's house, and after a turn of thought, he simply walked around the street.
Originally, it was an early shop, the boss encountered something at home, anxiously waiting for the money, and wanted to get rid of the shop quickly, and the price was not expensive, because the area of the shop was not too large, only one in front and one in the back, the front was the storefront, and the back was the existence of the kitchen.
Sixty taels of silver will be enough.
In line with the principle of not repaying the price in vain, the second brother of the fox used his seven-inch incorruptible tongue to cut the price in half, and finally the two sides agreed that only thirty-five taels of silver were needed, but because the price was too low, it was necessary to pay it off immediately at one time.
The second brother Zeng did not ask for anything, and immediately took out thirty-five taels of silver, and went to the town office with the boss to transfer the contract of the shop to Zeng Youqu's name.
After getting the shop and having a balance of money, Zeng Aijun was on the way home, not to mention how much he loved the army, when he passed through the mountain, he picked two different herbs and put one in the space.
He had just finished it, and Zeng Anxin was prompted by the main space: Zeng Youqu, the owner of the Green Garden, received a deed for the shop, and the West Medicine Garden had been upgraded to a first-class annex space.
Zeng Anxin was overjoyed, and he expected that the matter of Second Brother Zeng was estimated to have been completed, so he immediately told his father and mother the good news.
At this moment, Zhang Heihu happened to be driving the ox cart and came with fifty taels of silver.
Zeng Anxin looked left and right, but he didn't see the big-mouthed uncle who was tall and big, liked to grin, and pulled the corners of his mouth to the root of his ears when he smiled.
Zhang Heihu explained: "Dad said that it is the time to be busy with the orchard on the mountain now, and when the orchard is finished, he will immediately come over to help your family open the mountain." With that, he got out of the ox cart and handed the floral cloth bag containing the silver in his arms to Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her daughter and son-in-law, and deliberately asked loudly, "You go home and get the silver, didn't your father say anything?"
"Yes. Dad said, my aunt's family is finally doing something, and our own family doesn't support who supports it; β
Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter proudly and smiled, "Look, I'll just say that the second daughter-in-law is a sensible person." Then did you tell them that even if this money is our Zhang family's shareholding, if your aunt's family buys this mountain and earns it, it will naturally be indispensable to their good, if it is lost, even if it is deducted from my coffin book. β
Zhang was anxious, "Mother, what are you talking about, no matter how tight you are, you can't touch your money." Don't worry, no matter if you make money or lose money, at the end of the year, you will be able to make up fifty taels for my brother and sister-in-law. β
"What are you afraid of, your mother and I are still far from death, where is my body strong. I still want to live, to see the tall and loving army marrying a daughter-in-law, and to see our family marrying with peace of mind? Anyway, this coffin book will not be needed for a while, and it will be dusty if it is put in vain, so it is better to take it out and do something practical. β
Zhang's eyes turned red, and he took a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and the old lady hurriedly persuaded, "You girl, you are all people with bodies, how can you wipe your tears at every turn, you have been the most painful one for me and your father since you were a child, and now your brother and sister-in-law are living well, and you are left with a bitter heart, who do you support? Rest assured, quickly bring a basin, and then your mother's golden beans, see if you can exchange them for two money." β
"Mother, you hate it!" Zhang was amused by the old lady for a while, and his white face was even more girlish.
Zhang Heihu bolted the ox cart, walked over and said with a smile, "Aunt, don't worry, my father said that it is a good thing to be able to make money, but if it is lost, this money will be regarded as a meeting gift for his little nephew." β
Having said that, Zhang knew that when she actually gave birth, her eldest brother would have to move all the things in the house again.
With such a united and warm mother's family, Zhang feels really relieved, warm and touched.
Since the money was collected, Zeng Youqu didn't delay much, and immediately left for Tao Hai's house, paid the money, drew the pledge, and wrote the deed paper.
The village chief Tao was also enthusiastic, thinking that it was not easy for the Zeng family to do things, so he immediately took an ox cart and rushed to the town, to take this deed paper to the town office to exchange the title deed of Qingyu Mountain, and to stamp the official seal in the town office, and pay a tax of one percent, which is completely over.
In the afternoon, Zeng Aijun came back with the ox cart of the village chief of Taohai, and by the way, he also brought back the title deed of Qingyu Mountain.
Zeng Anxin held the title deed tightly, and his heart was excited.
Thinking that her uncle's family had brought fifty taels of silver over, and her brother still had to settle the account, and she knew that with the Xiantao space, Qingyushan would definitely make money, so she wrote a contract and pointed out that she would give her uncle Zhang Zhimin two dividends.
Mrs. Zhang did not shirk it, knowing that they did not do this, she was uneasy, so she let them go, if this mountain can really make money, they should get some dividends. If she can't make money, she naturally won't chase her daughter for debts.
Later, he cooperated with He and Mrs. Zhang to clean up a table of good dishes, and invited the village chief and several respected people to come over to eat.
Originally, I also wanted to invite Mr. You, because of his shield, Zeng Anxin could perfectly explain that he could settle accounts, read and write.
It's just a pity that Mr. You's thatched cottage is closed, and he doesn't seem to be at home, so I don't know if he went to visit friends or traveled.
However, the atmosphere in Taoyuan Village is good, even if Mr. You's cottage is not locked, he will not lose things, and from time to time there are warm and thoughtful villagers who go to help him clean the yard.
From time to time, there are aunts and aunts, who will grow their own vegetables and hang them in baskets at the door of their courtyards, sometimes Mr. You comes back, and then they take them home for their own use, but sometimes Mr. You does not come back for a long time, and the dishes are not fresh, but the next day they will be replaced and loaded with fresh dishes.
People in the countryside have great respect for talented people, especially a great Confucian like Mr. You, although he has a strange temper, but he is the most kind person, and he does not look down on people because the villagers are farmers.
Everyone had a happy dinner, Zeng Anxin and Yu Xiaoli took all the dishes and chopsticks, and after washing, they went home to rest.
Have you entered the main space with peace of mind and received a prompt that you have met the upgrade conditions, do you apply for an upgrade?
Hey, she felt weird, so she went to investigate, and found that it was the land deed of Qingyu Mountain of more than 1,000 acres that played a role, and this land deed could replace what was originally missing.
Of course, Zeng Anxin is extremely happy, and being able to upgrade means that everyone can visit the door, and it is exactly what he can't ask for.
Xiantao Instructions for Use remind you again that when upgrading, it is best to recall the owners of the attached space and upgrade them with the space, which is conducive to the health of the affiliated owners, and there will be unexpected triggers.
Zeng Anxin was embarrassed, now that Zhang and his grandmother sleep together, if Zhang's suddenly disappears, grandma must not be frightened crazy?
Zhang Heihu and Zeng's eldest brother and second brother Zeng Youqu lived in the same room, and it was inconvenient to leave.
She tried to ask the main space, how long does it take to upgrade, but she didn't think about it, the main space really showed the handwriting on the jade slip and replied, the upgrade time of the first-level space: a quarter of an hour.
It turned out that it only took a quarter of an hour, and then it would be no problem, Zeng Anxin quietly went to greet each other, and asked them to wait until everyone was asleep before entering the space.
Zeng Aijun was afraid that if something happened to scare people, he picked a medicine called sleeping grass in the medicine garden, melted the juice into the tea, and specially let Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Heihu drink it.
Sure enough, after a while, the grandfather and grandson slept very soundly. Everyone glanced at each other, and each returned to their respective spaces, and Zeng Anxin saw that the jade slip showed that the owner of the attached space was already in place, so he immediately ordered to prepare for the upgrade.
As soon as Zeng An'an's voice fell, he felt that his eyelids were extremely heavy, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
The same is true for the others, who were awake just now, but suddenly fell asleep, and by the time they woke up again, they had already found that their respective spaces had changed drastically.
Zeng Anxin looked at her main space first, the area of the immortal vine house was doubled, and there was an attic, she quickly walked up the vine stairs to take a look, but it turned out to be an antique study.
There are four paintings hanging on the wall of the study, the first of which is the appearance of a somewhat malnourished peach tree, and the leaves on it seem to be about to wither;
The second is quite different, with a tall tree with dense foliage and slightly pollinated buds among the green leaves;
The third one is even more wonderful, the five-color peach petals full of trees, blooming gorgeous and fascinated, there are butterflies flying between the petals, making people feel that as long as they smell deeply, they can smell the fragrance of peach blossoms;
The fourth is a fruitful piece of pressed branches, and many peaches larger than a basin are hidden among the green leaves, tempting the index finger to move, as if you can already taste its juicy deliciousness.
Zeng Anxin thought of the appearance of the fairy peach sapling when he first entered the space, and suddenly realized that these four paintings were telling himself what the fairy peach tree in the space would change into every time he ascended a level.
In addition to the paintings on the wall, on the desk of ancient sandalwood, there is also a book bound in thread, Zeng Anxin walked over, only to see three antique characters on it, she recognized it for a long time, and did not recognize what the words were, when she opened the page, she found that there were all kinds of handwriting like tadpoles, and her eyes were black at all, and she didn't know anything.
Zeng Anxin suddenly thought of the erudite Mr. You, maybe he would know, thinking of this, she immediately took out a piece of paper, copied the second word from the ancient book, and copied two separate tadpole characters on the inner page, carefully folded it and carried it in her arms, planning to ask him again when she met Mr. You one day.
In addition to the immortal vine house in the main space, the immortal peach tree has also grown a lot, and the jade pond has expanded a whole circle, and the water is even clearer.
On the periphery of the jade pond and at the root of the peach tree, there is a small arch bridge, the pillars of the arch bridge are carved with complex flowers, it looks like there is a sense of simplicity, and the column body is also engraved with words, once Anxin lay on it and looked at it carefully, I can't help but be annoyed, it is the hateful tadpole word, crooked, who knows what it is?
No matter how far she looked, she saw that the white mist that surrounded the fairy vine house had receded far away, revealing a refreshing green lawn.
The flower vine swing hadn't changed much, still swaying slightly in the wind
"Oh oh!" suddenly came out of the thick green leaves of the peach tree, and the eager crowing of the big three-colored rooster suddenly sounded.
Zeng Anxin was stunned for a moment, and then crossed his waist and laughed, "You also have today, I told you not to sleep on the tree before, you didn't listen to me, now look at it, haha, you are stuck, right? β
The big three-color rooster was sleeping, and it slept very comfortably, but suddenly it felt that the fork of the tree, which was originally very flat and wide, became tight, and its stomach hurt so much.
It opened its small round eyes, looked around, and was suddenly surprised, before going to bed, the tree was still very short, and the leaves were sparse, how could it get up from sleep, and it grew so tall and thick?
The most important thing is that it used to sleep in the middle of the fork of the tree, the space was upgraded, the peach tree grew up, and there was a chicken in the middle, it could not pass through the body of the chicken, so it could only grow around it, and it turned out to become a cage for the three-color rooster, wrapping it tightly in the heart of the tree.
It rushed left and right, but it couldn't squeeze out, and it fluttered its wings desperately, making a terrible cry for help.
"Save me, master, save me!" Suddenly an eager boy's voice came into Zeng Anxin's ears, she was slightly stunned, and suddenly overjoyed, no wonder the space said that when it was upgraded, if the master was there, something surprising would happen, did it mean this?
She used to be able to communicate with small animals through a very mysterious feeling, but she couldn't talk directly, but now she can hear the voice of the big rooster directly.
She asked tentatively, "Big, did you call me just now?"
The big three-colored rooster crowed busily, "Yes, master, I am calling you, master, you can finally hear me, great, you come and save me, I feel out of breath." β
"But, this tree is so thick, how can I save you, I can't cut down the tree right, I won't do it, this is a fairy peach tree, baby." β
"Woo, then what should I do, master, I really regret not listening to you at the beginning, you quickly think of a way, since you are the master of this space, maybe this fairy peach tree will also listen to you, you order it to see, order it to let go of me, see if it will react?"
Zeng An's face was full of suspicion, "I don't think it's big, if it reacts, doesn't it mean that it has also become sperm? But let's try it, poor big rooster, who made you eat, sleep, sleep and eat, and become a big fat chicken." β
"Xiantao obediently, open the door and let the big come out!" Zeng Anxin muttered, but Xiantao didn't pay attention to her at all.
Zeng Anxin changed the method again, but he was tired and paralyzed, and the fairy peach tree still did not respond.
Zeng Anxin suddenly thought, she was really crazy, how could she think that the fairy peach tree also had her own spirituality, and she would actually believe the words of the big rooster.
There was really no way, and in the end, Zeng Anxin had to pick up the branches and green leaves, try his best to probe, look at the spatial distance between the forks, and then look at the body shape of the fat rooster, and estimate that he should be able to squeeze it out of the middle.
As a result, one person and one chicken, after pulling for a long time, the head of the big rooster came out, but there were two big wing bones in the wings, which just couldn't come out, and the big rooster's painful eyes were green.
Zeng Anxin was busy panting, "You said that you don't exercise on weekdays, and you know how to eat, sleep, sleep and eat all day long, you see, this fat is like this, how can it come out?"
"Master, it hurts, the wings hurt so much, or you cut off this little fork, as long as you cut off this little fork, I can get out." β
Zeng Anxing's apricot eyes immediately glared, "You are crazy, this is a fairy peach tree, it will bear a fairy peach in the future, I will die of a leaf, you actually want me to cut down a fork, in case the fork is cut down, the space is damaged, who is responsible?"
The three-color big rooster had to hang its head aggrievedly, it really didn't have the strength to squeeze out, so now it became, it couldn't get in, it couldn't get out, and it was halfway through.
"Master, how are you trying to figure out a way, what's the matter with my half-pull now? Hanging upside down like this, I seem to be brain congested. The voice of the big three-color rooster was weak and crying.
Zeng Anxin sat under the root of the tree tiredly, panting and said, "You are not human, what kind of blood is congested in the brain, I have to rest first, I am exhausted." β
Holding some jade pond water in her hand to drink, Zeng Anxin felt much better, she raised her head to look at this long and dense peach tree, and there were indeed occasional light cyan flower bones between the leaves. (To be continued.) )
