Chapter 176: Making a Fortune
Xiao Ding accidentally rescued a noble son named Song Twelve in the Big Buddha Temple, this noble son's character is still excellent, but he reads too much and is a little pedantic.
Xiao Ding repeatedly said that he didn't have to be polite, and he didn't have to be too polite. But this noble son is very persistent, and he has to come to the door another day to thank him. Xiao Ding was speechless.
"Since I have already caught the assassin for you, I think Song Gongzi, you might as well go back to the house first and interrogate this assassin!" Xiao Ding didn't want to continue to entangle with this noble son, so he proposed.
"What Tian Engong said is very true, I will definitely interrogate this thief when I return home." Song Twelve nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll go around first, let's see you another day!" Xiao Ding said and turned around to leave.
"Tian Engong is slow!" Song Twelve saw that Xiao Ding was leaving, and hurriedly stopped him.
"I don't know what else is going on with Song Gongzi?" Xiao Ding asked strangely. The heart said, you are not a beauty, why do you always pester me!
"I saw that when Engong arrested the thief just now, the crossbow arrow he used was very exquisitely workmanlike, I wonder if I can lend it to my younger brother to take a look?" Song Twelve said with a little embarrassment.
"Oh, yes!" As he spoke, Xiao Ding took out the beaded crossbow from his satchel and handed it to the noble son.
After the noble son Song Twelve took the crossbow arrows with both hands, he looked left and right, and then took the crossbow arrows and aimed them at the distance and compared. Xiao Ding told him how to open the safety and how to launch, and asked Song Twelve to shoot an arrow at no one.
After Song Twelve shot an arrow, he couldn't put it down even more, turning it over and groping around. refused to return it to Xiaoding.
"Tian Engong, I don't know where you bought this crossbow arrow? Can you tell the little brother that the little brother also wants to buy one for self-defense! After a long time, Song Twelve asked.
"I designed and built this crossbow arrow myself, you can't buy it!" Xiao Ding said truthfully.
"Ah, it turned out that Eun Gong designed it himself! Admire, admire! I didn't expect Engong to be able to design such an exquisite crossbow arrow! It's really envious of the little brother! ”
"Oh, this is just a small skill of carving insects, and I also learned it from a senior." For this kind of advanced weapon in later generations, Xiao Ding can only be said to have learned it from a master.
"Tian Engong, I wonder if you can bear to cut your love and sell this crossbow arrow to your younger brother? The younger brother was willing to pay a thousand taels of silver to buy this crossbow arrow. Song Twelve touched the crossbow arrow, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
When Xiao Ding heard this, he said in his heart that you are really a loser, buy a crossbow arrow for 1,000 taels of silver. This is completely the style of local tyrants! This crossbow arrow was fought in Moh's blacksmith shop for a total of about 20 pieces, and he only spent a few dozen taels of silver, and you gave me so much money for this one, wouldn't I want to make a fortune!
Since this rich kid is willing to pay, how can he not want to? Who would be afraid of having too much money?
"Since Song Gongzi likes this crossbow arrow, then I will reluctantly sell it to Gongzi!" Xiao Ding said, and deliberately pretended to be very distressed.
When Song Twelve heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and said happily: "Thank you for your willingness to give up to me, and the younger brother will definitely come to the door to thank you again another day!" ”
When Xiao Ding heard this, he spent a thousand taels of silver to buy a broken crossbow arrow, and then thanked him again, is there anything better in this world than this? It is estimated that only an aristocratic family like this Song Gongzi can do this kind of thing. He must be used to spending money lavishly.
"Go and get a thousand taels of silver tickets, Tian Engong has already promised to sell me the crossbow arrows!" Song Twelve commanded the guards beside him.
The guard hurriedly answered, turned around and ran towards the carriage in the courtyard.
After a while, the guard took a thousand taels of silver tickets from the carriage and handed them to Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding took the silver ticket, didn't count it, stuffed it directly into his arms, and said to Song Twelve with a smile: "Song Gongzi is really a cheerful person, he will buy it when he says it." If you have any other needs in the future, just ask me, if I have my own, I will definitely give it to you. ”
"Okay, Eun Gong! In the future, if Engong has any good things, even if he recommends it to the younger brother, the younger brother has nothing else, and there is no shortage of silver at home. Song Twelve stroked the crossbow arrow in his hand, and then looked at the satchel that Xiao Ding was carrying.
Xiao Ding understood at a glance, it seems that this son has taken a fancy to his shoulder bag again.
The satchel with the crossbow arrows was sewn by the second girl with cooked rabbit skin for Xiaoding, although the workmanship is simple, but it is very meticulous.
Seeing this Song Gongzi's eyes staring at this satchel, Xiao Ding was embarrassed to mention the money to him. After all, a crossbow arrow can cost someone a thousand taels of silver. If he pits him again with his shoulder bag, he will be a little unhappy psychologically.
So, Xiao Ding happily took off the satchel from his body, handed it to Song Twelve, and said: "I see that Song Gongzi you bought a crossbow arrow, but there is nowhere to carry it, it is better to give this satchel to you as a gift for you to buy crossbow arrows." ”
Song Twelve was very happy when he heard Xiao Ding's words, and happily took the satchel and put it on his body, and loaded the crossbow arrows into it. Let the queen said happily: "Thank you Tian Engong, Engong treats me like this, and the little brother doesn't know how to thank Engong!" ”
Xiao Ding said in his heart, thank you is not necessary, in the future, you buy me a few more crossbow arrows, I don't have to worry in this life, why bother to build any greenhouse and grow vegetables! Whether you can get rich in the future depends on you!
As the so-called pit friends do not pit the poor! There are Taoist friends who don't say anything, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! Can pit one pit one pit at a time! It's much easier for this fellow to make money than to make money from coolies.
Xiao Ding himself didn't expect that he would make a small fortune on this trip to Zhongzhou. The Yongzhou Zhizhou rewarded the one hundred taels of gold, which can be exchanged for one thousand taels of silver, plus the one thousand taels of the noble son just now, and he now has nearly two thousand taels of silver in his pocket.
Although the crossbow arrows he used for self-defense were gone, Xiao Ding didn't care at all, he could go out of the city to the barracks at any time to ask for another one. Although most of the crossbow bolts in the barracks were medium and large, there were also some small ones, which were built for some officers to defend themselves.
Besides, Xiao Ding has his own drawings, and he can find a blacksmith shop to build one at any time, and it doesn't cost a few silvers. Xiao Ding was even wondering if he should find a blacksmith shop to build another batch, and then come back and sell them to this Song Gongzi!
After buying the Lianzhu crossbow, Song Twelve was really ready to go back to the house this time, and he was also worried about going back to the house as soon as possible to interrogate the man in black, why he was lurking here and secretly assassinating him.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Ding, Song Twelve got into the carriage and was escorted by the guards out of the Big Buddha Temple.
Because of the accident in the main hall, the pilgrims did not dare to come in again. Xiao Ding was bored, so he began to continue to wander around.
After a short day of strolling at the temple fair, it was almost evening when Xiao Ding returned to the inn.
As soon as he walked into the door of the inn, Xiao Ding felt that the atmosphere was wrong. He actually heard the sound of fighting inside the inn.
What's really going on inside?
