Chapter 53: Sold
Chapter 53: Sold
Cheng Yanjin saw that Cui Jinhua was surrounded by people, his face became very unsightly, and he was taken first.
No, I haven't bought it yet, so how can others buy it first.
When he saw the cow in the front, he immediately shouted: "Old cow, help me buy a few thousand catties." ”
"Wait. Let me negotiate the price first. After Niu Jinda heard Cheng Yanjin's words, he roared back.
"Lao Cui, I am different from Cheng Biting Jin, he bought thousands of catties and thousands of catties, and I plan to buy the mountain directly."
Niu Jinda's words immediately aroused the thoughts of the colleagues around him.
That's right, what saltpeter to buy, buy the mountain directly, as much saltpeter as you want.
Fang Xuanling couldn't sit still, so he also came over and said, "Master Cui, everyone is a colleague, you can't forget me about selling mountains." ”
Xiao Yu couldn't sit still, he lost the bet, once Fang Xuanling was more serious, then he would have to pay for his death, but if he bought a part of the saltpeter mountain, he could easily fulfill the gambling contract.
"Brother Cui Xian, this time you have to help your brother no matter what." Xiao Yu said excitedly.
Cui Jinhua was also very excited, and he had seen a lot of big scenes, but he had never seen such a big scene.
Twenty or thirty civil and military people circled around him, and they flattered themselves one by one to say good things to themselves, which was really exciting.
There are only a few people who are very annoying, and they are a group of martial artists such as Cheng Yanjin, Yu Chigong, and Niu Jinda.
If you can't say that you can use your fists, it's really rotten wood that can't be carved.
He came back to his senses and said, "Gong Xiao, since you have spoken, it is really unreasonable for the little brother not to help." ”
"What about the price?" Xiao Yu asked.
Everyone quieted down and looked at Cui Jinhua quietly.
The people around Ma Zhou also looked at Cui Jinhua.
Even Li Er looked at Cui Jinhua.
In the past, they didn't care about saltpeter, but now it's different, saltpeter can freeze water, which is an artifact to relieve the heat.
With ice, this summer will be better.
Cui Jinhua, who knew this well, said unhurriedly: "Thank you colleagues, the old man knows that saltpeter is a very needed item for everyone.
Therefore, the old man is in charge instead of the dog, and he sells 10,000 yuan per mu, and he can register with the old man now if he needs it. ”
"What did you say?"
"Old horseman, you want to be crazy about money."
Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda said together, they couldn't believe that Cui Jinhua would be so shameless.
Fang Xuanling and other officials also became unnatural, and the price had to be raised.
Cui Jinhua is too lazy to care about them, I just pay this price, love it or not, anyway, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to sell it.
Li Er smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "Now that you are so proud, what will your expression be when you know that Saltpeter Mountain does not belong to you?" I'm looking forward to it. ”
Cui Jinhua said: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has something to do, can you go back first." ”
"That's right."
After Cui Jinhua left, there was a commotion at the scene, this person left, do they still want to buy saltpeter.
"Your Majesty, Weichen also has something to do, and he wants to leave first." The eldest grandson Wuji said.
"That's right."
After the eldest grandson Wuji left, many people began to feel uneasy, everyone knew that the eldest grandson Wuji had some connections with the Cui family, these two left, in case they made some small moves, causing everyone to be unable to buy saltpeter, so how to spend this summer.
"Your Majesty, the minister also has something to do and wants to leave on leave."
"So is the minister."
……
All of a sudden, more than a dozen officials came out to ask for leave, and Li Er directly announced his retirement from the dynasty.
Then Li Er came to the Feixiang Hall in a happy mood.
When the palace maids saw Li Er coming, they knelt down and saluted.
Li Er smiled: "Get up." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The eldest grandson greeted him and said in surprise: "Second brother, is it so soon?" ”
Li Er smiled: "They all went to buy saltpeter." ”
"Your Majesty saw the method of ice making and informed them today?"
"Yes, the method of making ice is so simple, I have no reason to hide it, and the people know that they can use saltpeter to make ice, and this summer, it will be easier for them."
"This is the end of this year's summer, which is particularly hot, and the sun is also very poisonous, and the concubine was tanned after just basking in the sun for a while."
"Ah, let me see."
Li Er grabbed the eldest grandson's hand and looked at it, but he didn't plan to let go.
After Cui Jinhua left the palace, he got into the carriage to go home, and the eldest grandson Wuji quickly got into Cui Jinhua's carriage.
"Auxiliary, why are you here?" Cui Jinhua asked.
"Brother Cui, you know in your heart." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.
Cui Jinhua said: "How much do you plan to buy the auxiliary machine?" ”
"Ten acres, but in terms of price, do you think it can be cheaper?"
"Auxiliary, I really can't be the master of this matter, it's better like this, you go back to the house with me, and I'll let Zhi'er talk to you." Cui Jinhua said, "Don't worry, I will speak for you next to me." ”
"Thank you very much." The eldest grandson Wuji said, although his face was still full of smiles, his heart had already despised Cui Jinhua's body.
Obviously, you can make your own decisions, but you want to say that you can't be the master, and push it to your own son, how can you be so shameless as a person from this family.
When he came to the house, the housekeeper greeted him.
"Sir, you're back."
"Well, is Zhi'er back?" Cui Jinhua nodded and asked.
"Back to the master, the young master is still in Juxiang Building."
"Let him come back and tell him that I have something to discuss with him, about the saltpeter mountain of Longshou Canal." After Cui Jinhua finished speaking, he beckoned the eldest grandson Wuji into the house.
"Yes." The housekeeper had just walked for two minutes, suddenly turned around, caught up with Cui Jinhua, and said, "Master, the saltpeter mountain in Longshou Canal has just been sold by the villain." ”
"What? You're saying it again. Cui Jinhua thought he had misheard.
The housekeeper saw Cui Jinhua's pale face, and said cautiously: "The villain sold it for 120,000 yuan." ”
"You ......"
Cui Jinhua suddenly became angry and bloody, kept covering his chest with his hands, out of breath, and pointed at his hands tremblingly with his other hand, wanting to scold the housekeeper, but he couldn't open his mouth, and finally passed out directly.
"Brother Cui, are you okay?"
"Master, are you alright?"
The eldest grandson Wuji and the housekeeper spoke at the same time, and the housekeeper stepped forward to help Cui Jinhua.
"Master, what's wrong with you. Don't scare the old slave. What the hell is going on here? The butler began to howl and weep.
The eldest grandson Wuji said impatiently: "Don't howl, what happened?" Why was the saltpeter mountain sold? ”
The housekeeper hurriedly said it one by one, and asked, "Lord Eldest Sun, what the hell is going on?" Isn't it just the sale of saltpeter mountain? In the past, I could only sell 80,000 guan, but now I sell 120,000 guan? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said in a deep voice: "Stupid, in the past, it was sold for 80,000 yuan, but I don't know who saltpeter can make freeze."
Think about how important a piece of ice is in such a hot weather, you, do bad things with good intentions, okay, go and ask the doctor to save your master, and the official will leave. ”
Niu Jinda and Cheng Yanjin also rushed to the gate of Cui's mansion, and when they saw the eldest grandson Wuji coming out, they hurriedly stepped forward.
"How much did you buy?"
"And the price?"
The eldest grandson Wuji sneered expressionlessly, and said, "Hmph, you're late, no, the Cui family no longer has a saltpeter mountain." ”
"What do you mean?" Cheng Yanjin asked.
"The housekeeper of the Cui family sold the saltpeter mountain, which was not long ago, to a son surnamed Yan and surnamed Li."
"What? This old gang can't lie to us, right? ”
"Impossible, the matter of saltpeter ice making has just been known, who can buy saltpeter mountain in advance."
Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda nodded, who would have thought that this saltpeter could make water knot, otherwise it would have been bought a long time ago, and it would have been the turn of others to buy it?
Suddenly, the eyes of the three of them lit up, and they thought of one person, Li Er.
Cheng Yanjin said cautiously: "It won't be Your Majesty, right?" ”
"I can't think of anyone else anyway." Niu Jinda said.
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Why don't you go to Your Majesty?" ”
"Okay, saltpeter is such an important thing, you must get a little bit in your hands, otherwise this summer will be really difficult." Cheng bites the golden road.
Eldest Sun Wuji and Niu Jinda nodded at the same time.
The three of them began to turn back and return to the palace to see Li Er, but soon saw Fang Xuanling and other colleagues.
"You got it?"
"What's the price?"
"How much did you buy? How many are left? ”
……
For a while, you began to ask the three of them word by word.
Cheng Yanjin was annoyed by the question, and shouted: "Shut up the fuck." ”
The officials quieted down, Fang Xuanling wanted to speak and stopped, but still listened quietly to Cheng Yanjin.
"Cui Jinhua, the old horseman's saltpeter mountain, was sold by his housekeeper, and now it's useless for you to find him, go back."
Niu Jinda said: "What do you have to say to them, go quickly." ”
After speaking, he pulled Cheng Yanjin and left.
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "If you don't believe it, the Cui Mansion is ahead, you can ask in person." ”
"Let's go, go and ask." Xiao Yu opened his mouth and led everyone to Cui's mansion.
A group of people went to Cui's Mansion in a mighty way, and only four people were left who did not go, they were Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng.
Du Ruhui said: "Why don't you go?" ”
Wei Zheng said: "Cheng Biting Jin, there is no need for them to lie to me. ”
Ma Zhou said indifferently: "You can't run the saltpeter mountain, you can't buy it today, and tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, don't be in a hurry." ”
Fang Xuanling smiled: "If I guessed correctly, they should have gone to find Your Majesty." ”
"Then should I go to Your Majesty too?"
"It's fine."
The four of them also turned back and went to the palace.
Xiao Yu led everyone to the gate of Cui's mansion and was stopped by Cui's subordinates.
"What? What do you do? Do you know who we are? Xiao Yu said angrily.
Being blocked by a group of subordinates, how could this have ever happened, it was too face-saving, and many officials were angry and wanted to break in, but they didn't dare.
No way, who let the family have saltpeter in their hands?
The housekeeper walked out at this time and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, my lord suddenly became angry and fainted, and is currently waiting for the doctor to come to heal, and please be accommodating and wait outside." ”
