The first things Liu Ximing took out were just ordinary things, which could be bought with money, but there was one thing that really took his lot of thought to get out.

In order to please Xie Chunxi, Liu Ximing specially found a piece of Hetian jade, and used the aura in the space to carve the jade according to Xie Chunxi's appearance, which looked really lifelike.

"Little sister, what do you think this is?"

Liu Ximing mysteriously took out the brocade box containing the jade statue from the space, gently opened the box and shook it in front of Xie Chunxi's eyes.

"Ahh

Xie Chunxi was a little unconcerned at first, but after glancing at it, he immediately danced and screamed in shock.

"What is the quarrel, a girl who has not left the cabinet, what kind of system is this."

Before Liu Ximing could laugh, the voice of Xie Chengzhou's mother, Mrs. Xie, suddenly came.

Xie Chunxi's face changed when he heard this voice, he immediately stopped screaming, turned around and returned to the reserved appearance of everyone's ladies, and gave Mrs. Xie a blessing gift in a fake way, "Chunxi has seen grandmother and mother."

"Poof", Liu Ximing saw that Xie Chunxi suddenly changed from youthful and lively just now to a dignified and beautiful appearance, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, which provoked Xie Chunxi to look at him with a fierce look.

Liu Ximing hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, forcibly held back his smile, and bowed to Mrs. Xie: "Xiaosheng greets the old lady and Aunt Xie, and wishes the old lady a long and healthy life." ”

Old Madam Xie glanced at Xie Chunxi angrily, turned her head and smiled and signaled Liu Ximing to excuse herself, and when she saw that there were a few people behind Liu Ximing holding a bunch of gifts, she immediately said with a smile: "Ximing, come if you come, why bother to bring such things." ”

Liu Ximing hurriedly dodged, showed the gift behind him, and said to the Xie family with a smile: "Thanks to Xie Shibo's care many times, Xiaosheng has nothing to repay, and he just uses such mundane things to express his heart, and the old lady doesn't have to mind." ”

Xie Chunxi's mother, Xie Mengshi, had sharp eyes, and when she saw her daughter holding a brocade box with a precious face, she reached out and took it over, leaving Xie Chunxi standing there with a reluctant face.

Xie Mengshi gracefully opened the brocade box, took out the statue inside, and looked at it, even if she was well-informed, she suddenly felt extraordinary.

Needless to say, the jade material used in this statue can be used to marry a daughter in the Chu Palace, just this carving, tsk.

Xie Mengshi just looked at it a little, and she felt a little in love, and she somewhat understood why her daughter was so out of shape just now.

This statue is carved out by Liu Ximing in the space with aura as a carving knife and spiritual power as an introduction, although it is different from the traditional subtle and mellow figure carving techniques of the national dynasty, but it has a unique artistic conception contained in it.

Coupled with the combination of the space aura and the jade body when carving, the whole statue looks like, Xie Mengshi thought about it for a while and didn't expect that word, by the way, it is simply out of the world and ingenious.

But when she saw the figure carved on the jade, Xie Meng's face changed a little, but she immediately regained her composure and handed it to Mrs. Xie quietly, while saying: "This statue of Liu Xian's nephew is chic, and my mother also has a palm." ”

Old Madam Xie took the statue indifferently, glanced at it for a moment, and her complexion immediately changed, she immediately turned her head and glanced at Xie Mengshi, and looked at Liu Ximing and Xie Chunxi without a trace.

Seeing that Liu Ximing and Xie Chunxi were both bowing their heads and saluting, Mrs. Xie smiled and handed the statue back to Xie Meng, and asked Liu Ximing: "I used to hear my son say that your family is not very rich, but how did you spend so much silver, I think these gifts are worth a lot of money, don't make your own family sad." ”

Liu Ximing straightened up, took a step forward with the corners of his mouth obliquely up to support Mrs. Xie, and pointed sideways to the gift in the hands of Li Biao and others: "Before, I had to rebuild the village and help the villagers, which was indeed a bit stretched. But these days, the family has gradually prospered, and it is right to honor your old age. Old lady, please see, this kind of fine weaving is produced by my family, and I specially sent some high-quality products for the use of the house. ”

Old Madam Xie let out an "oh", followed Liu Ximing to the gift, picked up a fine weave and looked at it.

"Huh?" Before Mrs. Xie touched the fabric, she only felt a silky and silky touch coming from her fingers, which made her unconsciously let out a question.

She immediately put her whole face in front of the cloth, looked at it carefully, and finally waved her hand backwards and said, "Chunxi and her mother, you also come up to see this cloth." ”

"Hahaha, Mother, what makes you so strange?"

Xie Mengshi had just stepped forward in response, Xie Chengzhou's laughter came from the door, and then he walked in in a turquoise official's regular uniform, and when he saw Liu Ximing and Xie Chunxi saluting, he nodded and turned his head to look at Mrs. Xie.

Seeing Xie Chengzhou come back, the whole room of people laughed, Mrs. Xie pointed to the fine weaving in her hand, and beckoned Xie Chengzhou to come to her side with some eagerness: "It's just right that my son is back, you come and take a look at this cloth, this is the child brought by Ximing, saying that it is his own cloth, you come to see this quality, have you ever seen it before?" ”

Xie Chengzhou was a little strange when she saw her mother's eager appearance, what kind of fabric would make her so moved.

But as soon as the fabric was started, Xie Chengzhou was also surprised, this is obviously cotton, how can it give birth to a silky lubrication feeling.

He immediately carefully checked it, this dyeing technique is decent, and the key should be in the fabric.

"Virtuous nephew, you said this is your own property?"

Liu Ximing felt a little proud in his heart, and immediately stepped forward and replied: "Don't dare to hide it from Shibo, it is indeed my family's own production." ”

Xie Chengzhou's face changed from surprise to solemnity, and then asked him with a smile: "How much cloth of this quality can your family produce in a month?" It seems that your family does not have a business name yet, if possible, can you hand it over to my family to sell?"

"At present, we can produce 31,000 pieces of this cloth every month, but this sale is not a secret, and the little nephew has already signed a contract with a business in Huguang."

Liu Ximing replied a little helplessly, he only thought that the Xie family was a gentry and a local tyrant, but he didn't know that the Xie family was still running a cloth business, otherwise where did he get so much trouble last time.

"What?"

Xie Chengzhou, Mrs. Xie, and Xie Mengshi were all a little surprised, with a monthly output of more than 30,000 pieces of cloth, which is not a small amount.

Xie Chengzhou patted his thigh with annoyance, and said to Liu Ximing with some depression: "You kid, if you don't come to ask my family about such things, will I treat you badly?" If the goods have not been delivered, you can ask if you can return the contract, and it is a big deal to lose some money, which is much better than if you have been losing. ”

"Uh", Liu Ximing's face was a little embarrassed, and he said to everyone in the house: "The price that this firm gives to the little nephew is five dollars and five cents of silver, except for the delivery in Chongqing, the other little nephews feel pretty good." ”

"Oh, mother, be careful, you almost dropped my things."

Xie Chunxi looked at Xie Mengshi with an annoyed face, fortunately she stood next to her mother with quick eyes, and when she saw that her mother accidentally missed, she grabbed the brocade box, so she didn't drop the jade statue.

Mrs. Xie didn't have time to take care of her daughter-in-law, and almost dropped the priceless statue, and said in a trembling voice: "Five, five dollars and five cents a horse, then this must not be more than 10,000 taels of silver." ”

Xie Chengzhou was also hit by a critical blow, he just saw that the width of the Liu family's cloth was twice as wide as the ordinary cloth, thinking that three taels and five dollars to three taels and eight dollars should be a more suitable price, who knew that this Huguang merchant could give a price of five dollars and five cents of silver, which was really embarrassing.

But then he asked a little suspiciously: "Five dollars and five cents a horse, this person is not fooling you, do you know his origin?" ”

Old Madam Xie and Xie Mengshi also felt when they heard it, yes, this price is so high, could it be really a liar? Thinking of this, the two women's minds calmed down a little.

Now Liu Ximing is even more embarrassed, isn't it obvious that he wants me to pretend to be forced, he had to reply respectfully: "This business is specialized in the business of Huguang Chu Wangfu, and the proprietor of the business has a nephew who is a student of the county, and he is a guest at my house at the moment, so it should be true." ”

Seeing that Xie Chengzhou and the others were struck by lightning, Liu Ximing had no choice but to turn around and say: "But this price is indeed a bit unreasonable, and there is another reason for it, let's talk about it afterwards for the little nephew." Earlier, this firm also quoted four yuan for Shunqing delivery and five yuan for Chongqing delivery. ”

Xie Chengzhou finally relieved himself from Liu Ximing's news just now, he looked Liu Ximing up and down, and sighed a little in his heart, he knew that this son was not a thing in the pool, but he didn't expect to grow so quickly, and now he has taken the line of the Chu Palace.

"In this way, the proprietor of this business is indeed a real person, and it is really extraordinary that you can have such an opportunity."

Xie Chengzhou patted Liu Ximing on the shoulder while speaking to hide his embarrassment.
