386 The four seas are sold for a lot of money

Zhang Shun finally came up with a wonderful way to smuggle in, which was appreciated by Hu Sanniang, Lin Chong and others. Zhang Shun led Zhu Yun to secretly come up with the swan theory and do the preparatory work.

Gao Wannian sold all the goods brought by Hu Sanniang, and the profit was considerable, about twice the purchase price. Hu Sanniang is still very happy, and feels that it is faster to make money in business.

"Taishi Gong said: 'The husband uses the poor to seek wealth, the farmer is not as good as the worker, the worker is not as good as the business, the embroidery is not as good as the city, this is the end of the business, and the capital of the poor is also.'" ”

Gao Wannian shook his head and quoted Sima Qian's famous words, and saw that most people didn't understand, so he had to translate it again-

To go from poverty to wealth, agriculture is not as good as work, work is not as good as business, embroidery and weaving is not as good as leaning on the door to laugh, the end of business here is the means for the poor to get rich.

This time everyone understood.

"Lao Gao, the goods have also been sold, we should withdraw!" Hu Sanniang suggested.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I still have a few good things to sell. Wait for the real rich people to come over and find out some news. Then, I have to buy some leather goods, and I can't go back empty-handed! - You have to make a lot of money! Gao Wannian said confidently.

"What else do you have?" Hu Sanniang felt that there was nothing left to sell.

"I still have four good things to sell!"

Gao Wannian reached into his arms and took out a small refined box. Before opening it, blow out all the candles in the room. A round thing with a green glow.

"Pearl of the Night!" Lin Siniang screamed.

Hu Sanniang has seen the night pearl in the palace, which is much bigger than this, but it is not as pure as this, nor is it bright. The candle was re-lit, and the light of the pearl that night suddenly faded a lot.

Gao Wannian took out two more things: an inkstone, and the other was an ivory carving. It's all high-quality and worth a lot of money.

"How much can these three things sell for?" Hu Yaoniang asked.

"A conservative estimate of 10,000 taels." Gao Wanqing slapped his face.

The three women let out a "bang".

"It's nothing, I bring a priceless treasure. - Gao Sheng, take out the things and open the eyes of the three beauties. Gao Wannian said smugly.

Gao Sheng took off a burden from his body, opened several layers, and took out a bamboo tube from inside. Open one end of the bamboo tube, take out a scroll painting, slowly unfold it, and lay it flat on the case.

In the middle of the picture is a pine branch, the branches and leaves are lush, the Lingxiao flowers climb up, and the green bamboo poles next to the trees are counted. Panasonic Fuqin people wore Taoist robes, twisted lightly and slowly, and the other two sat down and listened, with one side and one up, with a respectful expression. On the painting, only pine, bamboo and stone are used to represent the courtyard environment, the melodious rhyme of the piano seems to flow among the pine and bamboo, the composition is concise and balanced, and the characters are depicted meticulously and expressively.

There is also a poem and a description on it:

Yin Zheng raised the lower tung, and the pine was suspected of entering the pine wind. Yang Yao lowly interrogated the lover, in order to listen to the strings in the middle. ——Chenjing's inscription

Others don't think anything about it. Hu Sanniang looked at it and felt a lot of regret, the person who played the piano was none other than Zhao Ji. This painting Hu Sanniang has seen in the upper study, how could it run into Gao Wannian's hands?

"I heard that "Listening to the Qintu" was robbed by the Jinren?" Hu Sanniang questioned.

"The Jin people snatched a picture of listening to the qin, which was copied by the painter under the old emperor. That's the real thing. Gao Wannian said with great certainty.

"How much can I sell for "Listening to the Qin"?" Lin Siniang asked.

"It was priceless, I really bought it, I wouldn't have sold it without 50,000 taels of silver." Gao Wannian rolled up the picture.

Hu Sanniang was jealous for a while, and she understood what was going on. It must have been Zhao Ji's special love for Jin Qiong and Sister Yinhuan for a while, and he rewarded them with this painting......

"There is nothing in the world that cannot be sold for money." Gao Wannian said with a smile, "It is still Taishi Gong who said it well: 'When the warehouse is full, the people can understand etiquette, and when food and clothing are abundant, the people will know glory and shame.'" 'Etiquette is born of wealth and abandoned by poverty.

Therefore, when a gentleman is rich, he likes to do what is good, and when a villain is rich, he uses his strength in the right place. When the abyss is deep, there will be fish in it, and when the mountains and forests are deep, wild beasts will go there, and when the people are rich, benevolence and righteousness will be attached to them. The rich gain power and become more prominent; If you lose your position, you won't have a place to go, so you're not happy.

"The proverb says, 'A child of a daughter's house will not die in the market for breaking the law.'" This is not empty talk. Therefore, it is said: 'The people of the world are bustling; Come for profit, go for profit. 'Even if there are thousands of heavenly sons in military chariots, princes of ten thousand fiefdoms, and doctors of a hundred feudal estates, they are still worried about poverty, let alone the ordinary people compiled in the household register! ”

"Lao Gao, when I go back, I will learn to do business with you." Lin Siniang said with a smile.

"Don't wait to go back, you can study now, I'll take you to the night market for a walk." Gao Wannian's enthusiasm is high.

Lin Chong was not interested in buying and selling, and the three women followed Gao Wannian to the night market. The night market is huge, and it is full of lights, illuminating as if it were daytime. All kinds of goods aroused the curiosity of the three women, who stopped to watch from time to time, and the prices were surprisingly expensive.

At the end, a gorgeous door blocked the four of them, and some soldiers stopped them, and Gao Wannian took out a special sign before putting them in. They followed Lao Gao into a small golden building. Hu Sanniang thought that this must be a place to buy and sell jewelry.

When you go inside, it's not. There are song halls and dance floors everywhere, and many beautiful women are singing and dancing. Hu Sanniang and the others understood, this is an "entertainment place". But unlike ordinary entertainment venues, the beauties all carry red ribbons on their backs, and the price of silver is marked on them, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands.

"This is a place to sell people?" Lin Siniang exclaimed in a low voice.

"Exactly. Here are all the beauties from all over the world. There are Jurchens, Goryeo, Dali, and Khitan...... There are also many Han beauties. Gao Wannian said habitually.

They found a suitable seat and sat down, and Gao Wannian watched and admired it. Hu Sanniang and others have relatives.

A fat old man walked up to a tall woman, looked at it for a long time, and asked for a long time. Finally, he took the woman's hand and kissed it on the back of her hand. In the end, it was sold for 1,500 taels of silver. The fat old man happily took the woman's hand and left.

Hu Sanniang felt sick to her stomach and was angry for the woman.

A woman with a thin face, about forty years old, walked this way with the butler. She bought a little wife for her husband. Because I can't have children, I want to borrow chickens to lay eggs, and I am not satisfied with a few of them. She thought that Hu Sanniang and they were also women to sell, so she came over.

"Why isn't there a price marked?" The woman was a little dissatisfied.

"Stop! We are not sellers, we are buyers. Gao Wannian stood up and hurriedly explained.

When Hu Sanniang heard that the fat woman regarded them as beauties to be sold, she was so angry that her teeth itched. patted Lin Siniang and Hu Yaoniang, and retreated. Gao Wannian hadn't seen enough, so he had to follow them when he saw them going out.

"Mom! Who is so lacking in virtue?! Who pricked me in the ass with a needle!? The woman screamed, but there was no one else next to her except the housekeeper.

Hu Sanniang laughed secretly, and when she left, she threw out an embroidery needle......
