Li Chenyu asked: "How much is a pound of peppercorns?"

Zhang Tuo stretched out five fingers and gestured, he pouted and said: "What buyers want is five yuan and one tael, and what they want is four yuan and one tael." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Li Chenyu nodded thoughtfully, one tael in this era is slightly more than one tael in Huaxia, but one or two peppercorns are five wen, and one catty is fifty wen. To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is not worth much at all, and it may only take a pound of ten dollars to buy in the place of origin, and it will be sold according to two when it is shipped back, deducting the cost, transportation, and damage to the goods, and the profit is considerable.

Moreover, the Jin family brought back three ships of peppercorns, which are almost one-third of the production of peppercorns in Hanzhong, which means that they can hoard goods, take the opportunity to raise prices, and then sell well and earn more silver.

Li Chenyu was very excited, she was very short of silver.

She beckoned Zhang Tuo to come closer, lowered her voice and commanded such and such orders. Looking at Zhang Tuo's confused eyes, he knew that he didn't understand.

But Li Chenyu said irresponsibly: "You just do what I say, do it all today, prepare your things, and go home with your things at night."

Time was pressing, and Zhang Tuo didn't dare to delay his efforts, so he trotted all the way away.

Li Chenyu also left, and spent three taels of silver when settling the account, which made her have a toothache for a while.

It's not that she feels sorry for the silver, she has a real toothache, recently there is a big tooth in her mouth that has been eaten by insects, she has a toothache, and she is afraid that she will not be able to grow new teeth in the future after she is extracted now, so she can only endure it. Today, I didn't remember eating a plate of sweet and greasy snacks, and the toothache couldn't be controlled, and her face was black from the pain.

Li Chenyu covered half of her face, looked up at the dazzling sun, her legs clamped the horse's belly hard, and she ran quickly.

After passing through most of the city, I came to the street where Zheng's house was located. She asked Zhang Tuo and said that Zheng Xin was at home today, so she didn't say hello in advance, so she came.

How could the doorkeeper easily let her in, so he asked her to wait in the gatehouse, and spread the news of the visitation of the guests to the Zheng family's inner house layer by layer, and asked their housewife before inviting her in.

In the Zheng family's house, Mrs. Zheng was reprimanding her subordinates, pointing to the accounts, and slapping the table angrily.

An inconspicuous little girl walked in and muttered a few words in the eldest girl's ear, and someone told Mrs. Zheng, who was still mad, about Li Chenyu's visit.

Mrs. Zheng was silent and groaned. She knew that Li Chenyu was a guest of the Ji Mansion, but she also knew that Li Chenyu did not live in the Ji family. And the dead lone seedling of the Jin family was killed by this Young Master Li, and the Jin family was defeated, so it can be seen that the Ji family supported her behind her back. Now that Jin Zhi is in the mansion again, what is this Young Master Li looking for Zheng Xin!

The anger on Mrs. Zheng's face disappeared, and she pondered this: "Invite Young Master Li to the side hall, and call Jin Zhi over."

In the small courtyard in the corner of the Zheng family, there was a woman who was weeping on the steps, she was petite, her facial features were soft, and there were tears in her eyes at this time, adding a touch of delicateness, she looked at the dilapidated courtyard and regretted not being at the beginning.

The woman is the golden branch, she regrets running away from home at that time, if she wasn't confused for a while, how could she end up like this.

First of all, the 'good' housewife said that she eloped, not to mention her bad reputation, and even her brother Xin was smeared with her, and then her father died in the prison, and she fainted in front of the Jin family for no reason, and the Zheng family turned her face and denied her to a concubine.

She is a wife, how can she be a nasty aunt, she is unwilling. But Mrs. Jin also said that as long as she can win Brother Xin's heart, even if Brother Xin does not marry a wife, she will not persecute them, and she and Brother Xin can still be an enviable loving couple.

If it weren't for Mrs. Zheng's promise, she would have died a long time ago, and only missing innocently, and then fainting was enough to ruin her reputation as a woman, so that she would not be able to live for a moment from a wife to a lowly concubine. But fortunately, the body has been checked by the old wife for many years, and it is still pure. And Brother Xin, who said he would treat her well.

But the root cause of all this pain is to blame Li Chen'er, who crippled his brother, and the Ji family who assassinated his father behind his back.

If Li Chen'er hadn't disabled his brother, many things would not have happened. If her father doesn't die, the Jin family will not fall, and she will not fall from a young lady to such a committed person under the roof of others, and she will become a concubine.

Jin Zhi hated her heart for a while, the tears in her eyes stopped, her face was slightly distorted and she looked at the dilapidated courtyard, and she gritted her teeth with hatred.

Even if she is a concubine in the Jin family, she has never lived in such a dilapidated yard. The Zheng family really didn't take her seriously.

A maid walked in and said in a loud voice, "Miss Jin, Mrs. has called you over."

Jin Zhi, who wanted to cry with hatred, gasped in fright, the expression on her face couldn't be restrained, and her complaining gaze fell on the maid.

She complained, "You little hoof, you're going to scare me to death, why don't you make a sound when you walk?"

The maid pursed her lips and said in a strange tone: "You are expensive, you used to be a concubine, and now you are an aunt, and the slave dares to scare you, it's too late to stammer."

Tie-up? Jin Zhi was never stammered when she was in the Jin family, and in the Zheng family, there was no such possibility, she was self-aware, and she endured it after listening to the mocking words.

She said, "What does my wife have to tell me?"

The maid said, "You'll know when you go."

In this world where silver opens the way, do you want to inquire about the news without silver? It's beautiful.

Jin Zhi still knows the rules, but she is so considerate of herself, how can she spend the silver on rewarding her subordinates. So he went into the house and changed into the best clothes, and hurriedly followed the maid towards the inner courtyard.

Mrs. Zheng, who had been waiting for a long time, was displeased, and when she saw her coming, she was still wearing a flower-sprinkled soft smoke skirt worth fifty taels of silver and a foot of cloth, and she was even more unhappy, she was not willing to spend hundreds of taels of silver to make such a dress, but let her concubine give birth to a child to press on the clothes, the Jin family is really rich, and a concubine wears such good clothes.

Jin Zhi curtsied and saluted, and said goodbye in a proper manner: "Jin Zhi has said hello to his wife."

Mrs. Zheng's temples were full of hair, and her slightly rigorous expression was not as tolerant as before, she didn't call out, but frowned and said: "Li Chen'er is here in the house, you help to receive it, and also learn the ability to behave in the world."

The shocked Jin Zhi looked up at her, knowing that things would not be as simple as they had been said.

Let her be received by a daughter of the Jin family who has a grudge against Li Chenyu? What identity does she use? What is this for?

As soon as Jin Zhi wanted to ask, he was interrupted by Mrs. Zheng and said, "People are coming soon, don't lose your temper, the affairs of the Jin family have nothing to do with you."

It's not a warning, what else could it be.

Jin Zhi agreed, and stood aside with her heart, she looked at the door, and after a while, her eyes straightened.

And Li Chenyu, who had been waiting for a long time, drank a belly of tea before being invited in, she came to see Zheng Xin, but now she was intercepted by Mrs. Zheng, it is not good for her to go directly to Zheng Xin by Mrs. Zheng.

I had no choice but to follow to the inner house.

The courtyard of the Zheng family may be a bit exaggerated to describe it as splendid, but since Li Chenyu looked all the way, it was all a courtyard with heavy walls, a few steps and a scene, and even the maids and women wore gold and silver, which shows that the rich family of the Zheng family has a very rich background!!
