The father and son of the Kuang family have also washed and changed their clothes, and they are staying in the hall with the second child.

"You have to be careful when people come, don't say anything offensive to people, these two masters look generous, if you can climb the beads you have worked so hard to pick in the future, you don't have to take them to the fish market, and those good ones don't have to worry about selling. Zhu'er is a girl who will be old in two years, and it is not suitable to sell beads like this. ”

Besides, the second child carefully told his little son, "After all, this matter was recruited by Zhu'er, and I don't know how much this merchant can eat, so I didn't let your eldest brother come over to mix, if they want a large amount of beads, you can help your eldest brother collect beads at that time." ”

"Dad, don't worry, I'm not so confused and won't offend people." Father nodded.

Besides, the second child finally put his mind at ease, he was afraid that the younger son didn't know the severity, and he didn't know the benefits of being able to have such a merchant come directly to collect the beads, not to mention anything else, those good beads were taken to their shop here The price was really too ruthless, and when he was young, he had met a wealthy foreign merchant, and the price of the good beads he bought was five or six times the price given in the store.

It's a pity that the merchant came for a few years and then stopped coming. Over the years, he has also been telling his sons that he has kept those good and big beads just to have something to take out when he meets that kind of big merchant again, but unfortunately the big merchant is hard to meet.

Just when the family was looking at each other frequently, Liu Heng and An Ruyi finally appeared. In addition to a lot of beautifully packaged pastries, preserves, jerky, tea, wine and other food, they also brought them a lot of cotton cloth of different colors.

Besides, the family was shocked when they saw it.

After a period of greetings, the two were invited to the upper seat, Guo Zhu'er and Guo Zhu'er and Guo Mu quickly brought the meal, An Ruyi saw that it was really seafood and ate mostly, and couldn't help but smile at Guo Zhu'er.

After the meal, the three brothers of the Kuang family, Kuang's mother, and Kuang Zhu'er all left, and only Liu Heng and An Ruyi, the second child, and Kuang's father were left in the hall.

The four of them sat on both sides, and the second child glanced at Liu Heng and An Ruyi inquiringly, and was a little uncertain in his heart. Even if you want to bring something to the door, there is no reason to take so many so valuable?

"Why did the two of you come to the door with such a heavy courtesy, how do we live in our hearts?"

"Yes, it's coming, it's coming, and what else you bring, you should bring it back later!" Besides, my father's face was uncomfortable, and he was very awkward to accept other people's things for no reason.

"Actually, we came today to buy pearls, but we still have a request." Liu Heng smiled slightly, "Our husband and wife didn't come to Quguo this time to buy pearls, in fact, we came all the way to enjoy the mountains and rivers." As a result, I happened to encounter the fish market in your place, and after shopping around, I bought a lot of pearls, and found that only your pearls are young but the most honest. ”

"You're not pearl merchants?" The second child and the father were stunned for a moment, and they were disappointed for a while, and their expressions were directly revealed.

"Didn't you say you have a lot of jewelry shops in your house?" The second elder muttered.

"You misunderstood, I said that we didn't come this trip to buy pearls, but it wasn't that we didn't buy pearls, in fact, we not only buy now, but also come to buy pearls regularly in the future. Now that we have met, as long as the quality of the pearl is good and the price is suitable, we will be happy to continue to look for you in the future. Liu Heng saw that his words had caused a misunderstanding, and hurriedly explained.

The second child and the father suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked cautiously, "I don't know what you want?" ”

"Actually, it's very simple, one is that our husband and wife want to follow you to the sea to see the process of your pearl diving." LIU Hengdao,

"This seaweed?" The father looked stunned for a moment, obviously not impressed by the seaweed wrapped around the mussel shell, he thought for a while and said honestly: "The pearls that our pearls are sold today are all picked recently, and we have changed two places recently, so it's hard to say which one is here." ”

"It's all right, why don't you show us those two places tomorrow."

"It's not that hard, if you like it, we can help you pull a few roots. But what's so nice about pearl diving? Father shook his head and said, "The sea is very risky, what if you encounter a big storm and make your nobles frightened?" ”

"It is said that life and death are life, wealth and fortune are in the sky, even if we encounter danger at sea, we will never blame you." Liu Heng smiled and refused his father's request to help pull out the dragon's beard grass.

"We don't have to worry about this seaweed, we'll just go and see it ourselves tomorrow. I don't know if you still have pearls at home, and if you do, we can buy them together. If you want, you can keep the pearls you pick in the future and wait for us to collect them. ”

Liu Heng thought about it and took out an ingot of ten taels of gold and put it on the table, "This is ten taels, even if it is a deposit." ”

Besides, the second child and the father saw the ingot of gold, their eyes were straight, they had never seen such a big ingot of gold in their lives, one tael of gold and ten taels of silver, didn't that mean that the one in front of them was one hundred taels of silver?

"No, don't want so much, you take it back quickly, you don't have to give the deposit, how many beads does it take?"

The father stammered, waved his hand again and again, the action was exactly the same as that of Guo Zhu'er, and sure enough, there was a father and a daughter. Seeing An Ruyi is a "poof" smile.

Liu Heng knew that An Ruyi smiled and smiled, "Our husband and wife are playing around, and the return date is undecided." I don't know when I will come again next time, but I give you a deposit to make you feel at ease, as short as half a year, or as long as a year, if we don't come, then the ingot of gold will belong to you. ”

Besides, the father still wanted to shirk it again, but the second child hurriedly kicked his foot and said first, "Since that's the case, then we're not welcome to keep it first." ”

Then the second child said to his son; "San'er, don't you still have those big beads that you have collected, don't you hurry up and take them out for the nobles to see."

Father patted his head, "Yes, yes, yes." He confessed, turned and went into the inner room, and in a short time brought out a small cedar box. (To be continued.) )
