The fundraising went very smoothly, and the officials who came and went to the Ministry of Rites could find that Deng Shilang was in a very good mood, with a smile on his face, which made people feel more and more like a spring breeze. Deng Huaisu occasionally bumped into Jiang Anyi in the yamen, and always had to hold him to chat for a long time, and the officials in the past knew that Deng Shilang and Jiang Yuanwailang were brothers in the same school, and they had a good relationship.

Love the house and Wu, Tian Shoulou's life in the Ministry of Rites has become better, and Deng Shilang has also spoken to him with a pleasant face, and he enjoys this only example of this honor from the Lingshi under the Nine Pins. Some sharp-eyed Shuling Shi, Zhanggu and others pooled money to invite him to eat and drink, which made this Tian Shuling's face shine.

Jiang Anyi didn't pay much attention to the fundraising, and heard Deng Shilang mention that it had exceeded 6,000, and the officials who were born in Zechang Academy and served as local officials responded enthusiastically, and they all donated generously, according to Deng Shilang, he had already contacted Deng Shanchang, and would hand over 2,000 taels of silver to the academy in the near future.

Many people from Zhangyi Academy found their banner-carrying boss Pan Shangshu and said that they could not lose to Zechang Academy, and they would also donate money to the academy and donate more. Guozi heard the news, of course, he was not far behind, and the prisoners also came from poor families, so we also have to donate.

For a while, the talk of raising the seeds of scholars was very loud, and everyone looked for their own team as if they were afraid that the money would not be donated. In the end, Shi Fangzhen was also alarmed and asked the reason in the court. Wei Yishen explained the situation, Shi Fangzhen praised it greatly, Wen Yan praised Deng Huaisu, the initiator, and then changed the style of words, gathered all the money in the court, and sent a special person to manage it by the household department and use it in a unified manner.

Everyone is "happy".

On a March day in the world, it is as bright as a clear spring, with a light fragrance in the gentle wind singing, Jiang Anyi and Fan Shiben took their families out of the city to go out of the city, and put aside those flies and dogs, so as not to live up to the good spring.

As soon as he returned home, Uncle Xu, who was guarding the door, said: "Master Jiang, a group of guests have come, saying that they are relatives from your hometown. ”

Jiang Anyi was stunned, the relatives in his hometown, who came, why didn't he receive a letter from home. Came to the study in three steps and two steps, good guys, there was a group of people sitting, and when they saw Jiang Anyi coming in, everyone got up with a smile.

The third uncle and An Yong came to the family, Guo Haiqing and Guo Fatzi came to the Guo family, and Yu Zhihe and Yu Qingshan uncles and nephews came to the Yu family. As soon as Jiang Anyi saw this style, he knew that it must be related to business, and now is not the time to talk about this, Jiang Anyi beckoned Dong'er to call someone. Dong'er blushed and saw her uncle, uncle, and many elders, and turned around to arrange dinner.

There was no one else in the house, Jiang Anyi said noisily: "It's rare for you to come and play in the capital for a few more days, so I simply take a few days off and take you around." Guo Fatzi, there are a few delicious restaurants in the capital, I will take you to eat them one by one. ”

The third uncle is a big man, and he was the first to speak: "There are still a lot of things at home, how can you have kung fu to play." Anyi, I came this time to tell you about perfume, and we discussed it and thought it would be more appropriate to talk to you in person. ”

"Perfume out?" Jiang Anyi didn't expect it to be so soon, and asked in surprise.

An Yong took out a small porcelain vase, only the thickness of his thumb, from the large wooden box on the ground, and corked it.

"Brother, look at it, is it something like this?"

Pull off the stopper, a strong plum blossom fragrance comes to the nose, strong but not strong, very good.

Jiang Anyi actually doesn't know much about perfume, but he thinks that the perfume in this bottle smells better than the incense powder on Dong'er's body, and it should be able to sell for a good price.

"Yes, has anyone tried it?" Jiang Anyi asked.

Jiang Anyong responded with a smile: "My mother and Yan'er have both used it, and they both said that it is good, and the fragrance can last for three days." ”

Guo Haiqing and Yu Zhihe interjected one after another, saying that their families had used it and said that it was good.

Jiang Anyi stuffed the cork again, put the porcelain vase on the table, and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Guo, you are an expert in business, what price do you think you should set for this thing?" ”

Guo Haiqing, Yu Zhihe, and the third uncle glanced at each other, and said cautiously: "We came to the capital to find you together, just to price this perfume." ”

Seeing Jiang Anyi playing with the porcelain bottle thoughtfully, Guo Haiqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "For women, it's not an exaggeration to call this thing magic water, my two daughters-in-law have been asking me every day since they used it, and they are almost annoyed to death." ”

Yu Zhihe and the third uncle nodded beside him, and it seemed that they were related. An Yong also smiled: "Mother and Yan'er are also fascinated, especially when Yan'er rummages in my room all day long, and the two bottles of samples I hid were searched by her." ”

"If you want to talk about the price, at least it must be equivalent to gold, this price, my old Guo dare not open." Guo Haiqing looked at the porcelain vase in Jiang Anyi's hand with a little greed and a little fear.

Yu Zhihe was not familiar with Jiang Anyi, so he didn't speak so casually, and said after careful consideration: "This thing is on the market, you can imagine how popular it will be, just take the price of the same heavy gold, with our production capacity, we can produce about 4,000 catties this year, that is, 40,000 taels of gold, one tael of gold and 20 taels of silver, that is, 800,000 taels of silver, which is more money than burning knives." This is still this year, and next year the fields will be planted with fragrant flowers, and the conservative yield can also be tens of thousands of catties, so I can't imagine the silver. ”

Yu Zhihe inhaled as he spoke, and muttered, "This amount of money is a bit hot." ”

Guo Haiqing gently stabbed his son beside him, Guo Huaili said: "Xiao Jiang, my father means that so much money is afraid of being remembered by others, and with the strength of you and Lord Yu, I am afraid that it will not be stopped, do you have any way?" ”

Jiang Anyi was taken aback by Yu Zhihe's estimate, at the beginning, he just planned to build a manor for Zhang Keji for more than 100,000 taels of silver, but he didn't expect to create a shocking monster, and immediately pondered.

Yu Zhihe and Guo Haiqing glanced at each other, and Guo Haiqing said: "Anyi, the old man sells a lot, I think this thing might as well stay for a while, and the words that are thrown out are the roots and seedlings that cause trouble." If you must launch it now, the Guo family doesn't want to get involved in this business. ”

Yu Zhihe also smiled bitterly: "Although the eldest brother is a household scholar, his foundation is still shallow, for the sake of the eldest brother's future, my Yu family may not dare to get involved in this perfume business." ”

The third uncle, Yu Kailin, also persuaded: "Anyi, this money is too much and too easy, you must be careful." The three of us came to the capital together to persuade you not to disclose the perfume for the time being, or to think of some other way. ”

Unexpectedly, Qian Duo was still hot, Jiang Anyi smiled: "You guys stay for the time being, rest assured, I won't release the perfume business before I find a way." ”

Seeing that Jiang Anyi listened to the persuasion, everyone put their minds at ease. Jiang Anyong smiled: "Brother, I don't care about my uncle and them, I and Fat Brother want to play in this capital for a few more days." By the way, the Wuliang wine recipe you wrote about also made wine, and it tasted great, but the masters of the wine field said that if it is aged for a few more years, the fragrance will be stronger and the taste will be better, and our wine field now has a burning knife, so we are not in a hurry to take it out. ”

As he was talking, Dong'er came in and called for dinner. During the banquet, Jiang Anyi asked carefully about the situation at home, and An Yong answered them one by one.

Turning his head, Jiang Anyi asked Guo Huaili: "Brother Guo, do you want to take the exam tomorrow?" Come to the capital as soon as possible to reunite after the lift. ”

Guo Huaili laughed and said: "Xiao Jiang, you are really good at telling jokes, you don't know me yet, the talent in the exam is all thanks to you, where do you dare to expect to lift people." In the past few years, I have helped my father take care of his business and live more freely. By the way, I got married last year, and your boy's gift hasn't been delivered yet. ”

Yu Qingshan looked at Guo Huaili and Jiang Anyi smiling unscrupulously, and was very envious, but at the beginning, his four brothers drove away Jiang Anyi, who was studying in Yufu, and he missed this fate, and he had nothing to say, so he had to drink silently. Yu Zhihe said with a smile: "The second brother asked me to bring Qingshan's nephew to the capital, and let the eldest brother find a way to send him to study in the country. Qingshan, don't respect Anyi for a cup. ”

Time has passed, of course Jiang Anyi will not take the small things of the year to heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Qingshan, I have a good relationship with Qinghuan and Brother Qingle, you might as well come and walk around with them often when you have time, if there is any difficulty, Jiang will not shirk if he can do it." ”

Yu Qingshan's face flushed, and he raised his glass and drank it all with Jiang Anyi.

After eating, Yu Zhihe took his nephew to the eldest brother's house, the Guo family's father and son, the third uncle, and An Yong naturally lived in Jiangfu, and An Yong still wanted to sleep with his brother, but was woken up by the third uncle's slap.

"Your eldest brother is married and still sleeps with you?" Jiang Anyong touched his head and smiled embarrassedly. When Shi saw An Yong, he must cut martial arts with his uncle, and the two children, one older and one young, danced back and forth in the courtyard.

After trying the perfume, Dong'er became more fragrant and lovely, and Jiang Anyi was full of interest, so that Dong'er sang and was drunk in the spring breeze.

Stroking Dong'er's smooth back, Jiang Anyi asked, "Dong'er, if that bottle of perfume is placed in the jade fat shop, how much are you willing to spend on it?" ”

"I'm willing to do whatever it takes." Dong'er's eyes flashed with golden light, and she replied without hesitation, and then grinded on Jiang Anyi: "How many perfumes did Brother Yong bring, you can't sell them, I want them all." ”

"Don't sell, don't sell", Jiang Anyi patted the plump part of Dong'er's body lightly, and said with a smile: "There will be a lot of these things in the future, what do you want to do so much, do you use it for bathing?" ”

I heard that there is, Dong'er has returned to a little normal, and said hesitantly: "Ten taels of silver a bottle?" No, it's too little, at least twenty taels of silver, or even fifty taels. ”

Dong'er's tone became more and more firm, exuding countless small gold stars.

That bottle of perfume is less than one tael, twenty taels of silver is equivalent to one tael of gold, that is, the pricing of Guo Haiqing and Yu Zhihe, I didn't expect it to be doubled in Dong'er's eyes, it seems that the perfume has great potential to be tapped. It's just that everyone's worries are not unreasonable, with their own strength, as long as the perfume is released, it won't be swallowed up by people even for half a year, maybe the royal family can't help but intervene.

Royal, Jiang Anyi's heart was shocked, and he seemed to have a good idea.
