In March, the spring begins, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the willows are green and the flowers are numerous, the apricot rain is faint, the mulberry clouds are faint, all things are sprouting, and the spring. The new scent of spring mud, spring grass and peach blossoms and apricot blossoms mixed together is intensely on both sides of the river.

Seeing that Li Shimin has been in very good health recently, and he doesn't like Xia Xue, who is in the palace, he decided to go to North China to investigate, and he also wants to breathe and step on spring, otherwise the old nest is in the palace, and Xia Xue feels that something is going to happen. Because the road was a little far, and the spring was cold, Xia Xue was afraid that Li Shimin would be tired and cold, so Xia Xue did not let Li Shimin accompany her.

Li Shimin knew that his beloved wife, Empress Changsun, had a hobby of inspecting everywhere and making private visits to micro-services, and he did not stop him, so he was all on a spring outing with his beloved wife, if it wasn't for his own health and busy with state affairs, he really couldn't leave, he really wanted to go on a spring outing with his beloved wife. However, in order to ensure the safety of his beloved wife, Li Shimin quietly told Dugu Jun to lead a hundred black-clothed guards to follow secretly to protect the queen's safety at any time.

On this day, Xia Xue and the Ouyang brothers and sisters were secretly visiting the Jinnan region together, and suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from behind.

Xia Xue looked back and saw two horses, one red and one white, flying towards her.

Xia Xue looked at the two people on the horse. On a red horse in front of him, a handsome young man sat in white, with a hairband tied on his head, fluttering in the wind. At first glance, he is a rich kid. The man on the white horse behind him was even younger, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, dressed as a scholar.

Xia Xue saw it, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart, with her discerning eyes, she had already seen that the two people in front of her were women dressed as men, and they thought it was the young lady from the big family, who led the close-fitting maid ring and came out to visit the spring.

The pair of master and servant rode by, and they didn't know what was urgent.

Xia Xue and the three of them admired the spring color of the grass growing and the warbler flying along the road, and slowly continued to walk forward, walking for more than ten miles, and a big mountain appeared in front of them. As far as the eye can see, I see that this mountain rises from the plain, and it looks unusually tall and majestic. The mountains are lush with vegetation and verdant. From the halfway up the mountainside, it is misty and misty, like a fairyland.

Xia Xue looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt that her heart was open.

As we walked to the front of the mountain, there was a roar in front of me. It turned out that the dense forest in front of him was suddenly exhausted, and there was a waterfall on the cliff, and the stream went straight down. Splashes of clouds and mist.

"What a view!" As soon as Xia Xue's words fell, she suddenly heard two angry roars in front of her, and the roars seemed to shake the trees on the mountain. The three of them couldn't help but be shocked: "Tiger! "Only this king of the mountain can have this kind of might!

At that moment, there was a sudden neighing of horses. Ouyang Yong shouted: "Someone! Then he ran for the sound. Xia Xue and Ouyang Qian also followed closely behind.

The three of them walked through the dense forest, only to see a glade in front of them, and a colorful tiger was roaring, forcing the two people on the opposite side. Xia Xue took a closer look, it was the pair of master servants dressed as men she saw just now, and she saw that they were already frightened, and they were supporting each other, retreating step by step.

Suddenly, the tomboy was tripped by a tree stump behind him, and immediately fell to the ground, and the tiger in front of him was already close at hand.

At this critical moment, there was a sudden roar, the sound was earth-shattering, comparable to a tiger's roar. But it was Ouyang Yong who brandished the Tang knife and rushed up. Since this was mainly a spring outing, Ouyang Yong did not bring a relatively eye-catching extra-long iron rod.

The tiger was also startled, turned his head, showed his sharp tiger teeth, and looked at Ouyang Yong with a low roar.

At this moment, Ouyang Yong finally tasted what it was like to be eyeing the tiger, but as soon as the arrow was issued, he couldn't turn back, Ouyang Yong held the Tang knife high, rolled up a sharp roar, and slashed down at the top door of the tiger.

The tiger was very agile, and its huge body flashed to the side, dodging Ouyang Yong's Tang knife, and then jumped up, and its two front paws pounced on Ouyang Yong like lightning, and the bloody mouth also bit Ouyang Yong's throat.

Ouyang Yong only felt a fishy aura rushing to his face, and hurriedly danced a knife flower in front of Tang Dao, sealing the tiger's minions. This person is a tiger, and he fights in one place.

At this moment, Ouyang Qian saw that Ouyang was brave and lonely, and also pulled out the Tang knife and joined the battle group.

Due to Ouyang Qian's joining, the battle situation on the field changed abruptly, and after the tiger was slashed by Ouyang Qian a few times, he was fierce, suddenly turned around, picked up his thick tail, and swept towards Ouyang Qian like a steel whip.

Ouyang Qian couldn't imagine that the tiger had such a strange trick, and she was caught off guard, and was swept to the ground by the tiger's tail and fainted. And the tiger also pounced viciously on Ouyang Qian, who fell to the ground and had no ability to resist.

At this time, Ouyang Yong was behind the tiger, and it was too late to rescue. Just when the tiger's claws were about to pounce on Ouyang Qian's face, he only heard two sounds of "poof" and "poof", and then, as soon as the tiger's body was planted, it fell to Ouyang Qian's side.

It turned out that at this critical moment, Xia Xue quickly took out her Ma drunk pistol and fired two Ma drunk bullets at the tiger in a row, and finally put the tiger to the ground. Ouyang Yong took the opportunity to stab the tiger in the heart. in, as a result of the tiger's life.

Xia Xue hurriedly rushed over, grabbed Ouyang Qian's wrist, felt her pulse, and felt very stable, so she was relieved. Immediately gave Ouyang Qian lung compressions, and after two minutes, Ouyang Qian finally resumed her breathing, her face gradually became ruddy, and she slowly opened her eyes.

After Xia Xue rescued Ouyang Qian, she remembered the pair of master servants dressed as men, and saw that the tomboy brother had already stood up with the support of Yahuan and was looking at them timidly. Seeing that there was nothing to do, the tomboy brother limped over with the support of Yahuan, and hugged his fists to Xia Xue and the others: "Thank you for your help, the grace of saving your life, I dare not say thank you, he will repay him one day!" ”

Xia Xue saw that the hairband on her head had fallen off, and all the green silk was hanging down, completely looking like a woman, but the action language still pretended to be a man's temperament, so she couldn't help laughing, and said politely: "It is right to be brave and brave, Miss doesn't need to be polite!" The young lady lost her mount and was not good at walking, so it was better to go to the county seat for two days to repair and then make plans. ”

The tomboy brother had no choice but to nod and agree, so Yahuan Xiaoshi held the tomboy brother, and Xia Xue helped Ouyang Qian out of the mountain together. And Ouyang Yong's life is the best, and the big tiger who was plotted out of the plot is naturally responsible for him.

When she arrived at the hotel in the county seat, Xia Xue learned that the girl dressed as a man was called: Shangguan Wan'er.

"What? Shangguan Wan'er? Xia Xue couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard this woman's name, history records that Shangguan Wan'er is beautiful, intelligent, and erudite, and is a famous talented woman, known as the "Prime Minister of Women". How did she become a businesswoman now, it seems that her crossing has indeed brought many changes to Datang.

Shangguan Wan'er's master and servant also hit it off at first sight with this beautiful and extraordinary bearing, who looked to be about 18 years old.

Xia Xue learned some legends about Shangguan Wan'er's life by chatting with Shangguan Wan'er and Xiaoshi, and she also liked Shangguan Wan'er, a business wizard.

Shangguan Wan'er has been beautiful and intelligent since she was a child, and her intelligence is outstanding.

When Shangguan Wan'er was a girl, her father once owed a huge amount of money to a loan shark in Jinyang. The old and ugly creditor, who fell in love with the beautiful Shangguan Wan'er, asked his father to use his daughter to pay off the debt.

Her parents and Shangguan Wan'er were very panicked when they heard this proposal. The cunning and hypocritical usury creditor pretended to be merciful and advised that the matter should be left to heaven's arrangement. He said that he would put a black stone and a white stone in the empty money bag, and then asked Shangguan Wan'er to reach out and find one of them, and if she chose the black stone, she would become his concubine, and the merchant's debt would not have to be repaid; If she chooses Baishizi, not only will she be able to return to her father, but her debts will also be written off; But if she refuses to try, her father will go to jail.

Although reluctantly, Shangguan Wan'er still agreed to give it a try. They were on a gravel-paved path in the garden, and after the agreement, the usury creditor bent down to pick up two pebbles and put them in their bags. The keen Shangguan Wan'er suddenly noticed: The two pebbles were all black!

If you are the unfortunate Shangguan Wan'er, what are you going to do?

Shangguan Wan'er didn't say a word, calmly reached into the bag, and casually, looked away, and felt a stone. Suddenly, as soon as the hand was released, the stone rolled down into the pile of stones on the road, and it was impossible to tell which one it was.

"Oh! Look at me clumsy," Shangguan Wan'er exclaimed, "but it doesn't matter, now you just need to look at the color of the stone left in the bag to know whether the one I just chose is black or white." ”

Of course, the remaining stones in the bag must be black, and since the evil creditor cannot admit her deceit, she has no choice but to admit that she chose the white stones.

A debt turmoil with a thrilling ending. Shangguan Wan'er relied on her cleverness and wit to finally turn evil into good fortune and turn the most sinister crisis into the most favorable situation. Shangguan Wan'er was only twelve years old that year.

Shangguan Wan'er's father was a relatively famous Jin businessman, but once he went out to do business, unfortunately contracted an illness, and after returning home, he asked for famous doctors, but he was not cured, and finally left the mother and daughter to die. Her mother died soon after due to excessive grief. only left the fourteen-year-old Shangguan Wan'er and the girl Xiaoshi. Due to the death of her parents one after another, the family gradually declined, but Shangguan Wan'er was a strong girl, she did not passively take refuge, but sold part of the family property, disguised herself, and inherited her father's legacy to go out to do business.

When Shangguan Wan'er was 15 years old, she found a business opportunity in Haijing and earned her first pot of gold. When she arrived in Haijing, Shangguan Wan'er found that breeches were very popular and easy to sell at that time, although she had some capital to sell some of her family property, but if she wanted to set up a stall to sell breeches normally like everyone else, her own capital was not enough at all.

Shangguan Wan'er went around the breeches dealer for a few days, and found that there were a lot of defective breeches that were torn in some places due to "jumping yarn" and other reasons, such as some breeches were rotten in the pants, some were rotten in the hems, some were rotten behind the pi strands, and so on, they couldn't be worn, of course no one entered. Since these defective breeches could not be sold, dealers basically threw them aside as scrap. Shangguan Wan'er then decided to buy all these defective breeches that no one wanted, and the dealer found that someone had collected the "waste" breeches that no one wanted, of course they were happy, and sold them to Shangguan Wan'er at a very cheap price. Due to the small cost, the first time to collect more than 100 pairs, Shangguan Wan'er pulled back these damaged breeches, found someone to carry out ingenious processing, after sewing those damaged places, and embroidered along the stitching of exquisite flowers and animals and other patterns, so that the original damaged breeches are basically not much different from the genuine breeches, and there are more distinctive and exquisite patterns than the genuine breeches, which is more individual.

Then, Shangguan Wan'er sold these processed breeches at a lower price than the genuine breeches, and in just one day, the first batch of more than 100 "scrap" breeches were sold out, Shangguan Wan'er was happy and didn't sleep all night, watching herself rely on her ingenuity to "turn waste into treasure", making so much money for the first time, can Shangguan Wan'er not be happy and insomnia.

The next day, Shangguan Wan'er used all the money she earned to continue to buy defective breeches, this time with more money and more goods. After being cleverly processed, they were sold at a lower price than the original breeches, and they were quickly sold out.

For the first time, Shangguan Wan'er relied on these tattered breeches to earn the first pot of gold in her life, and in just over a year, Shangguan Wan'er accumulated more than 5,000 taels of silver.

Since then, Shangguan Wan'er has been crazy about doing business, because some people have begun to imitate Shangguan Wan'er after knowing Shangguan Wan'er's method of making money, resulting in the purchase price of those defective breeches began to rise, profits began to decline, and sometimes even damaged goods could not be received. Shangguan Wan'er then decided to look for new business opportunities.

When Shangguan Wan'er inspected Jinling, she knew that there was a tradition of Jinling diet, as long as one entered the nine, every household would eat chicken. I also like to use old hens to make soup, so when the old hens in Jinling reach the Spring Festival every year, the price rises again and again, and sometimes they can be sold for more than 20 wen a catty.

But when Shangguan Wan'er inspected Qilu and other northern regions, she found that the traditional impression of people here is that they eat roosters and don't eat hens, so the price of hens is very low.

So Shangguan Wan'er went to Qilu and other places, and after understanding, the price of hens here was only sold for 4 yuan a pound at most, especially those old hens with a declining egg production rate, and the price was even cheaper. So Shangguan Wan'er decided to take advantage of the difference in eating habits between the north and the south to make a lot of money.

Shangguan Wan'er used the more than 5,000 taels of silver she earned in Haijing to exchange for copper coins, and one tael of silver could be exchanged for 1,000 copper coins. In Qilu, Yanzhao and other places to buy low-priced hens, and leased a farm in Jinling, a month before entering the ninth month, more than 100,000 hens purchased from the north at low prices were all pulled to their own leased farms. At this time, the price of local hens in Jinling is not high, but after more than a month, after entering the nine, the price of hens in Jinling market began to rise, until it was almost 18 Wen per catty, Shangguan Wan'er began to sell their own hens wholesale at a price of 12 Wen per catty, although each one can earn less than the retail price, but it can be sold as soon as possible to reduce the backlog risk and feeding costs, in this way, Shangguan Wan'er A chicken can at least make more than twice the profit.

Within five or six days, more than 100,000 hens brought by Shangguan Wan'er from the north were sold out, and more than 1.2 million copper coins were sold.

Shangguan Wan'er turned from a poor orphan to a millionaire for the first time, and Shangguan Wan'er was excited and didn't sleep all night, Shangguan Wan'er was 16 years old this year.

Later, many people also discovered the business opportunity of selling hens from the north to Jinling, and imitated them one after another, and the competition began to be fierce, and the profits declined.

Shangguan Wan'er then looked for new business opportunities.

When Shangguan Wan'er went to investigate in the past, she found that there was a kind of tail fruit with rough skin in the orchards of many kinds of apples. Good apples are all surface streamers, the surface of this tail fruit is rough, there is no brightness, and the tail fruit is stored for a short time, so merchants are reluctant to buy the tail fruit. Apple growers can only sell this tail fruit at a very low price, and few people buy it.

But Shangguan Wan'er has eaten this kind of tail fruit, although the appearance is rough, but the ripening time is long, sweeter than the early picked, very delicious.

Shangguan Wan'er found that this was a business opportunity, so she collected a large number of tail fruits at a very low price from apple growers, and then pulled them to the city, in fruit markets, residential gathering places and other places, at a price much lower than normal apples for promotion, through free tasting and other promotional means, let people know that although the appearance of this tail fruit is rough, but due to the long ripening time, it is actually sweeter and more delicious, and the price is much cheaper than normal apples. Although the price of the tail fruit is cheap, because Shangguan Wan'er purchased it at a lower price, it can at least double the profit per catty, and it is regarded as a defective tail fruit, and this time it earned more than 1 million Wen in Shangguan Wan'er's hands.

When Shangguan Wan'er was 17 years old, there was a very popular drama "Prime Minister Xiao He" in the north, which told the story of Emperor Liu Bang wanting to eat Lipu taro. At that time, many northerners didn't know what Lipu taro was, but they just knew how delicious this Lipu taro was, because in the drama "Prime Minister Xiao He", Lipu taro was described as very, very delicious, and even the emperor was addicted to it.

Shangguan Wan'er found a huge business opportunity from it, and when others continued to watch the drama "Prime Minister Xiao He", Shangguan Wan'er immediately set off for Guangxi, the production area of Lipu taro.

Before the popularity of "Prime Minister Xiao He" passed, Shangguan Wan'er had already wholesaled a large number of Lipu taro in Guangxi, and took a relatively fast internal combustion engine propeller large cargo ship to rush back to major cities such as the north for sale.

When Lipu taro pulled down some major cities in the north from Guangxi, the cost per catty may have been about nine yuan, and Shangguan Wan'er sold it for 30 yuan a catty at that time.

The locals didn't expect that the Lipu taro in the drama "Prime Minister Xiao He", which was being performed in various parts of the north, would come to their own city and rush to buy it.

The scene was so hot, it was sold out in a few days, and Shangguan Wan'er earned more than 2 million Wen, how happy she was in her heart!
