Chapter 15 From thrift to luxury
"This ...... This is what Fu Xiaoguan did? Zhang Wenhan stood up suddenly, but the folding fan in his hand did not shake again.
Liu Jingxing had finished reciting the two poems, and there was silence for a few breaths.
"Zhang Gongzi doesn't believe it?" Dong Shulan smiled indifferently and said: "On the fifth night of the fifth month of the fifth month, Fu Xiaoguan made a ...... in the Xishan Courtyard of Xiacun I remember that Zhang Gongzi also made a song on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, which was praised by the princes at that time and was rated as the first word of the Dragon Boat Festival. Zhang Gongzi's literary talent is known, so Zhang Gongzi will comment on Fu Xiaoguan's southern song. How's it going? ”
Zhang Wenhan gradually smiled on his face, shook the folding fan in his hand, and said, "How dare you not believe what Miss said, it's just ...... This Fu Gongzi's behavior before was indeed a bit absurd, and he had never written poetry, so he was very surprised. Fu Xiaoguan's southern song sighed to himself, and he didn't dare to evaluate it. From this point of view, this Fu Xiaoguan has changed a lot, but he is closed to his ears and eyes. ”
Liu Jingxing was naturally unconvinced, he was about to speak, but saw Zhang Wenhan waving his hand at him: "Linjiang talent, when there is a seat of Fu Xiaoguan, just these two words, I admire it very much in my heart, but it's a pity that I will leave for Beijing tomorrow, and I don't have the opportunity to ask Fu Gongzi for advice...... Brother Jing Xingxian, since then, he has been close to Fu Gongzi, if you get Fu Gongzi's masterpiece, don't forget to give the book to your brother and appreciate it together. ”
Liu Jingxing was silent for a while, and replied: "It should be so." ”
The two of them sat down, most of the people here were businessmen, although they were not proficient in poetry, they were not proficient in poetry, and they heard Zhang Wenhan say at this moment - this means that Fu Xiaoguan's word is even higher than Zhang Wenhan.
Some people looked at each other, but Yang Yishan, the boss of the grain merchant Yang Ji, laughed, "The master of the Fu family often corresponds with us, and every time he talks about the most distressing thing is his son Fu Xiaoguan, now it seems that this Fu family kid seems to be out of business, which is a good thing." Linjiang's four talents, Zhang Gongzi is going to go to Beijing to try the champion Jinluan Hall above the saint, and then spread his wings and fly high to live in the temple, Linjiang will have three talents left, and now the young master of the Fu family has this literary talent, just to fill, it also shows that the literary style of Linjiang is prosperous. ”
"What Lao Yang said is reasonable, if it weren't for Miss Dong taking out these two words today, I wouldn't know, come on, come on, add another talented person to my Linjiang to drink this cup!"
It was Fan Kui, the head of the grain merchant Fan Ji, who spoke, and at this moment Fan Kui raised his glass, and everyone drank a cup of admiration.
Zhang Wenhan felt that this glass of wine was worse than poison, but the smile on his face was still there, and there was not a drop of wine left in the cup.
These two poems are Fu Gongzi's famous works, and they should be spread all over the world. After I leave, can Jing Xing hand over these two lyrics to Miss Fan Duoer in Yihong Mansion - her music can be described as a unique song in Linjiang, and she sings it so that it will not insult Fu Gongzi's talent. Zhang Wenhan said to Liu Jingxing like a spring breeze.
Liu Jingxing was puzzled, but still nodded in response.
As a result, these two poems spread like this, and Fu Xiaoguan's name as a talented man also spread like this.
Of course, Fu Xiaoguan at this moment didn't know that Dong Shulan in Linjiang Building threw out his two poems in order to correct his name.
……
A big house, an old banyan tree, and a new chair.
Fu Xiaoguan was lying on a bench, Chunxiu was shaking a fan for him, and he was holding a booklet in his hand - it was still the family's field property, and he had not finished reading it yet.
"Xiu'er, water."
Chunxiu handed him the warm tea.
"Xiu'er, hot."
Chunxiu went to fetch ice cubes and watermelon, made a bowl of chilled watermelon, and brought it over.
"Xiu'er, ......"
"Hmm."
"In the future, make three bowls of this thing, you, me, him - he is elusive, everyone eats it together, and it tastes."
"Young Master......"
"What the young master says, you have to listen."
"Oh."
Fu Xiaoguan felt that the words were very reasonable: from thrift to luxury.
He felt that he had been corrupted, but this life was really comfortable.
In a short period of time, he has changed the inertia of life in his previous life, gradually changed his personality, and began to integrate into this world, trying to play the role of the eldest young master of the landlord's family.
Of course, he still handles things like dressing, washing his face, brushing his teeth and bathing by himself, but he is becoming more and more refined in life.
As he learned more about those pamphlets, he became more and more aware of what it meant to have a lot of money.
Money is a thing...... To be able to live a more comfortable life, of course, you have to spend it.
Wouldn't it be very boring to be a miser like Grandet.
"Xiu'er...... I'll look for it again when I have time...... Seven or eight servants, if you want to be the kind that can cook, you can take care of them, and you can take it easy for a few servants. ”
"This ......"
"Also, young master, I will have a lot of industries in the future, and I need to find some beautiful and versatile women...... This is not in a hurry, you look for it slowly, if the other party is willing, you bring it to me to see. ”
"Young Master......"
Fu Xiaoguan waved his hand, "Serious things, don't think about it." ”
"The slave didn't think about it, this versatile and beautiful woman...... Either everyone is beautiful, or, I'm afraid I can only go to the Qinglou to find it. ”
Fu Xiaoguan was stunned: "Uh...... Well, I see. ”
……
Yu Zhongtan from Xifang Liuli Shop and Jiang from Jiang's Porcelain Shop each went upstairs with a box, and under the leadership of Huang Da Butler, they walked into the backyard.
Huang Wei was very curious.
He has heard a little about the young master's recent actions, mainly because of the news from the Xishan Courtyard, such as the young master making a good wine called Xishan Agar, such as the young master buying a large area of wilderness next to the courtyard, and the young master is collecting information on various craftsmen.
He naturally knows very well what kind of virtue the young master of the Fu family is, and the absurd thing a few days ago almost killed him, but now it seems that the young master has really changed his temper.
These two people were invited by the young master, and he didn't know what to do, so he brought people here and didn't leave.
"Sit, Xiu'er, good tea."
Fu Xiaoguan got up from the chair, sat down in front of the stone table in the pavilion, greeted the three of them, looked at Yu Zhongtan and said with a smile: "Boss Yu, take it and take a look." ”
Yu Zhongtan handed over the box and said, "According to Young Master Fu's request, my masters have put a lot of effort into it, you can see if it is agreeable." ”
Fu Xiaoguan opened the box, took out the goblet, touched it and looked it up and down, raised it to the sun, and asked, "Can it be more transparent?" ”
Yu Zhongtan shook his head, "The glass purification technique can only be like this. ”
It's a little yellowish, but it's a good piece of equipment.
"There's still a lot of room for improvement, ask your master to study and study, and that's it for now. I want a thousand, how long can I get the delivery? ”
"It's a bit troublesome to make, I estimate that it will take ten days at the earliest."
"Get a price."
Yu Zhongtan was already prepared in his heart, since it was an offer, then the other party would definitely bargain, so naturally he would quote a high price first.
"One, one hundred."
"One hundred wen?" Fu Xiaoguan frowned, Yu Zhongtan sighed in his heart, but saw Fu Xiaoguan say to Chunxiu: "Xiu'er, take the pen and ink mimeograph." ”
"Shopkeeper Yu, I won't bargain with you for this first batch of business, I'll just give you ten days at the rate of 100 yuan. But you remember, all goods must be in this cup, and I don't want anything lower than this cup. In addition, I want to emboss the word "celestial" on the bottom of this cup. Let's sign the contract for this batch of goods first, pay you a deposit of 20%, and I'll write a note and you go to the account office to collect it. ”
Yu Zhongtan was overjoyed, and hurriedly smiled: "Master Fu rest assured, I guarantee the quality of the goods, and there will be needs in the future, Young Master Fu only needs to give an order, and I will do it as much as I can." ”
Huang Wei didn't expect the young master to make such a simple decision.
This thing looks like a wine glass, this little thing is a hundred wen? Although the glazed products are expensive, but this artifact is extremely small, and the young master still wants a thousand? What is this for?
Of course, the young master has already decided that as the chief housekeeper of the Fu family, he will definitely not say much.
Fu Xiaoguan and Yu Zhongtan drew up a contract, wrote a note and handed it to Yu Zhongtan, he kept the wine glass, and Yu Zhongtan left happily.
Then he looked at the porcelain vase that Jiang brought upstairs, and he was very satisfied, and the price was fifteen cents a piece, but he did not make a counteroffer, but asked to leave a word on the bottle.
"Here in the bottle, write Xishan Tianol, and write rare wine in this place, forty-two degrees. Then there is the bottom of the bottle, and the bottom of the bottle is two words. I want five hundred of them. ”
"In addition, according to the shape of this vessel, make a blue bottle decorated with red plums, write the words Xishan Xiangquan, 32 degrees, and also write the word Xishan at the bottom of the bottle, I want a thousand."
"The bottle of natural alcohol should be small, it can hold three taels, and the bottle of Xiangquan is slightly larger, it can hold five taels, and the price is the same, how about it?"
Jiang went upstairs and nodded, "Young Master Fu is refreshing, I'll arrange it when I go back." ”
"Okay, let's sign a contract too, how long will it take?"
"Fifteen hundred bottles, about seven days."
"I'll give you ten days, you must do it well! In particular, the glaze and inscription...... Wait, inscription, I'll give you the font later. ”
After taking the contract and deposit, Jiang went upstairs and left happily.
It didn't take long for the two big deals set by the young master of the Fu family in Xifang to spread all over the world, and then the owner of Yao Ji porcelain shop was furious and fired the shopkeeper Li, who had been with him for ten years.
Of course, Fu Xiaoguan didn't know about this, and he was walking slowly back and forth in the courtyard at the moment.
After a moment, he stopped and said, "Xiaobai, you go and help me run." ”
"Don't call me Xiaobai! Where to? Bai Yulian jumped down from the tree, startling Steward Huang.
"Take this bottle, go to Yu Fu Ji to fill a bottle of heavenly wine, fill it with seven points, and bring it back to me useful."
"In addition, Xiu'er, go find me a big red silk scarf, it's bigger than a palm."
Huang Wei kept watching, and only Fu Xiaoguan was left in the courtyard before asking, "What is the meaning of this move, young master?" ”
"Oh, selling wine."
"This utensil is more expensive than wine!"
Fu Xiaoguan laughed, "Uncle Huang, don't be afraid of this thing being expensive, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
