When Wang Rui and Ma Ju led the army of Fushan Qiansu to Jimo Camp to take office, Pan Xuezhong also rode the wind and waves back to Ningbo Mansion, thousands of miles away. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the family saw Pan Xuezhong's safe return, they were all relieved. Pan Xuezhong arranged for Uncle Cai and his entourage to carefully move the goods off the ship, count them one by one, and then go back to the house to meet his parents.

When they saw the exquisite glass products and elegant and gorgeous mirrors that Pan Xuezhong took out, Pan Xuezhong's parents couldn't put it down. Especially Pan's father, he was full of praise for the glass paperweight engraved with the famous words of the saint, and he praised the novelty again and again!

Pan Xuezhong's own mother liked the mirror with a beautiful wooden frame, and repeatedly told Pan Xuezhong not to forget to give one to Sanniang.

Pan Xuezhong is very generous, and it is inconvenient to give the righteous Sanniang a mirror, and also give the eldest mother and the two aunts a mirror. The other sisters and sisters also received a piece of fine glass each.

For a while, everyone in the Pan Mansion was praising the filial piety and benevolence of the young master of the fourth room!

Pan's father is a person who has been a merchant for most of his life, and after seeing the goods brought back by Pan Xuezhong, he knew that he could get a huge profit after selling them. He changed his previous ignorance of this business, and began to plan for Pan Xuezhong's sales activities very enthusiastically.

After listening to Pan Xuezhong's talk about Wang Rui's so-called "hunger sales" and the business method of holding an "exhibition", Pan's father stroked his beard and praised: "Everyone knows what they say, and it seems that your righteous brother is born to know it for his father!" If you go to the sea to trade, you should not be inferior to Tao Zhu Zigong! ”

"Father, but do you have to act according to the third brother's clever plan?" Pan Xuezhong asked a little eagerly.

"Nope! Zhong'er, you're still a little more anxious. You need to think about everything! Father Pan smiled and waved his hand.

After seeing Pan Xuezhong's blushing face and saying that he wanted to be taught with an open mind, he said: "Your third brother has a good plan!" However, he didn't know about my Ningbo Mansion. Although this maritime gentry is rich, he is not without knowledge. If you want them to snap up the goods, you need to show the grade of your goods. I am a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, why don't we father and son hold a poetry meeting first, so that the scholars and red card businessmen can come and chant poetry together. In this way, it will be famous! ”

"My father is really more insightful! Ginger is still old and spicy! The child was taught. Pan Xuezhong hurriedly flattered.

He remembered that Wang Rui said that when selling, he must choose someone to sell, so that ordinary people can't buy it with money. Then he advised: "Father! This tasting is not something that everyone can come to. Let's pick some people with status and fame to send invitations! Create a situation where it's hard to get a ticket. ”

"Haha, my son is smart, he really has a heart, not inferior to his father!" Father Pan was relieved and laughed happily.

In this era, Ningbo Mansion is especially rich in maritime merchants, and there are more than 10 luxury restaurants in the small Ningbo city, among which the "Zhenhai Building" in the south of the city and the "Yaleju" in the east of the city are the most famous.

Zhenhai Building is mostly visited by maritime merchants. Yaleju is dominated by officials and gentry, these officials and scholars are quite high-minded, and there is still a trace of contempt for those who go to Zhenhai Tower: "My generation of poetry and books, how can we be with people who smell of sea and copper!" ”

Commodity sales pay attention to from high to low, in Ningbo, it is undoubtedly Yaleju as the highest. The "Poetry Tasting Meeting" was held in Yaleju, which was chosen by Pan's father.

On this day, Yale was crowded with outsiders, rubbing shoulders and backs, and Uncle Cai commanded dozens of family members to maintain order with great effort.

I saw a long red cloth carpet in the middle of the road leading to Yaleju. On both sides of the carpet, every five paces away, there was a Pan Fu guard. They always maintain order and do not let the onlookers "eat melons" crowd into the middle.

When the time came, anxious scholars and businessmen came to see the strange. Some people saw that the scene was very lively, so they wanted to go inside and have a look. However, these people were all stopped outside by the family, saying that they only needed an invitation card to enter.

Where had the arrogant scholars been treated with such contempt before, they all pointed at the family members and scolded bitterly: "Hmph! The dog's eyes don't know gold and jade, hurry up and invite your fourth son Pan to come out! We are his year! ”

The family member in charge of communication did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran in to pass the communication. After a while, Pan Xuezhong came out, and sure enough, he saw that it was the same year as several Xiucai who were on the list together.

He smiled from afar: "It turned out to be all brothers!" Hurry up and follow the students to the viewing area! ”

As soon as the scholars saw Pan Xuezhong come out, they came up one after another to salute, and then proudly followed him to the viewing area.

As they walked, they glanced swaggering at the other onlookers. His eyes were full of ostentation: only those of us who read can receive such courtesy!

They are all refreshed and complacent, which makes the surrounding "melon-eating masses" envious.

But when they arrived at the viewing area, their faces were black one by one.

Because this viewing area is still outside the Yaleju, there are just some tables, chairs, and tea sets, and there are servants pouring tea and water on the side.

"Brother Xuezhong, what is your reasoning? We are all the same year as you! Let's just say that this Yale Residence, I will arrive in a few days. Why was he turned away by Brother Pan today? If you don't give me a point, don't blame the student for cutting his robe and breaking his righteousness! An elegant and delicate talent blushed and complained, as if he were a rooster in battle.

"Yes!" "Yes! I'm going to have to wait for a point. The other scholars also shouted angrily.

Everything is inferior, only reading is high! Where can't I go for the readers? If you can't even participate in this "poetry tasting" today, and it will be spread out in the future, wouldn't it be swept away?

"Brothers, don't be dry, it's really this poetry meeting, it's to appreciate the glass treasure mirrors from thousands of miles in the West, and each piece is a treasure of the world. Therefore, I would like to invite the prefect, the Teachings, and the seniors to have a sneak peek! Thinking of my Pan family, although it is a businessman, it is also a heirloom of poetry and books, how can I not know etiquette and filial piety? If everyone can be observed, but do not know how to respect the sages of their predecessors first, how can students be sons of men? Pan Xuezhong brought out a big reason like a lotus, and buttoned up a "hat" that disrespected his predecessors.

Pan Xuezhong's "hat" is not small: the treasures of the world can only be seen by the predecessors and sages. Otherwise, that is, you don't know etiquette and filial piety, and you are not the son of man!

"Absolutely! Extremely! Students will be able to get a glimpse of their predecessors. A reasonable scholar hurriedly echoed.

After hearing this, the other scholars immediately quieted down and sat down to drink tea and wait.

As soon as Pan Xuezhong got rid of these scholars of the same year, there was another shout: "Master Pan! I've got you! ”。

Pan Xuezhong followed the voice and looked, just a young fat man in luxurious silk was squeezing in this direction.

As soon as he came over, he pulled Pan Xuezhong and said, "Brother Pan, tell me quickly, how many silver taels do you need to go in today?" One hundred and eighty taels, not under a certain word! ”

Before Pan Xuezhong could speak, among the few scholars next to him, there was immediately a "hum" sound, and someone came out and scolded: "Such an elegant thing, how can you and other copper-smelling people see it?" Have you ever seen people like us who are studying to sit here and watch the ceremony? Hum! Those who don't know the number of etiquette! ”

"It's not that the foolish brother is unwilling, it's really today's meeting, it's really a grand event in Shilin, and only the sage seniors are invited. Forgive me! Pan Xuezhong smiled and gracefully refused.

No way! This copper smell of selling things for business actually made Pan Xuezhong pretend not to want it! This awesome is almost close to the Apple and Xiaomi of the future!

This young fat man is a rich second generation in Ningbo Mansion, and he is usually extremely arrogant at home. Unexpectedly, I just wanted to go in and have a look today, but I couldn't do it!

Where could he stand such a grievance, and suddenly the dog's temper came out, and he shouted loudly: "Brother Pan, I'll give two hundred taels!" Two hundred taels of silver! Let me in. ”

Pan Xuezhong was about to reply, when a family member came to report again: "Young master, something happened!" ”
