Chapter 37: Western Things
"It's two percent. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Gu Zude glanced at the silver ticket in Jia Wei's hand and hurriedly replied.
"Two achievements are seven hundred taels. Take it. Jia Wei took out the corresponding number of silver tickets and put them on the counter.
Gu Zude picked it up, carefully ordered it twice, and said with a smile, "Seven hundred taels is just right." Childe, wait a minute, and the contemptible person will write you a receipt. ”
"No need." Jia Wei waved his hand, "I can trust Boss Gu." ”
With that, Jia Wei walked out the door.
He said it politely, but in fact, he was not worried at all, Gu Zude, a small bookstore owner, dared to swallow his deposit and not do anything.
"Childe walks slowly...... Oh, Childe and so on! ”
Gu Zude suddenly remembered the thing he had thought of at this time, and hurriedly stopped Jia Wei.
"Boss Gu still has something?" Jia Wei stopped.
"It's not a big deal, it's just to delay Childe for a moment and show Childe something. The contemptible will go and fetch it. With a harmless smile on his face, Gu Zude walked quickly into a warehouse behind the store.
After a while, Gu Zude walked out, holding a book in his hand, and approached Jia Wei.
"Childe, look, how is this book? This is the new spring from the West, more than ten times better than ours, it can be called lifelike, delicate, and there are dozens of postures......" Gu Zude introduced endlessly while flipping through the book.
Such a foreign spring book is extremely expensive and profitable, and it is usually only bought by rich sons.
Ordinary people can only buy second-hand goods that are imitated in the market.
Gu Zude thought that Jia Wei might want to buy this thing, but later, as soon as the matter of the printed catalogue was stirred, he threw it away, and it was not until Jia Wei was about to leave that he remembered it again.
Now he took out this thing, firstly, he wanted to please Jia Wei, and secondly, he also wanted to earn some silver taels from Jia Wei.
"Don't." Jia Wei said bluntly, stopping Gu Zude's gushing.
He didn't even bother to take a look, he had watched too many films in his previous life, why did he watch this?
Another rich boy bought this for freshness, but for him, it was really not new at all.
But at this time, he heard two breaths behind him a little heavy, and when he turned his head, he saw Li Gui and Mingyan staring at the spring in Gu Zude's hand, their eyes were blazing and focused, and they didn't notice his glance at all.
Jia Wei rubbed the corners of his forehead.
I don't blame them for this, Mingyan is developing, Li Gui is eighteen or nineteen years old, and he has not yet married, so it is normal to see that there is some investment in this thing.
He reached over and patted them on the shoulder, saying, "Like? ”
Li Gui and Mingyan made him shoot excitedly, and when he heard the question, he first shook his head, and immediately nodded embarrassedly.
"Boss Gu, take two copies." Jia Wei said expressionlessly.
"Oh, good, good!" Gu Zude agreed repeatedly, and hurriedly went to the warehouse to get a copy, and handed it to Jia Wei along with the original one.
"Give it to them." Jia Wei didn't answer, and motioned for Gu Zude to hand it to Li Gui and Mingyan.
Then he asked, "How much money?" ”
"Two books for a total of four taels and eight dollars, son, this is the cost price, six discounts, originally one book alone will be sold for four taels of silver." Gu Zude handed over the book to Li Guiming and the two of them, and explained to Jia Wei on the other.
Jia Wei ignored his big call, took out a small silver ingot of five taels, and threw it to Li Gui and Mingyan, "Remember, you bought it yourself, and I didn't have the leisure to buy this thing for you, Second Master." ”
"Yes, Second Master. The villain knows that this is all bought by the villain himself. Li Gui and Mingyan stuffed their respective Western spring into their arms and said with understanding.
After passing the banknotes, Jia Wei and the others left the bookstore, and Gu Zude stood outside the door with a small silver ingot of five taels in his hand, smiling and watching them leave.
I thought to myself, it's still a rich man's business to do, I don't buy it myself, but I also buy it for the long-term people around me, but this transaction also made more than a tael of silver.
He stood outside the door for a moment, then turned back and entered the shop, and hurried to the backyard without stopping, and shouted to a room in the main room, "Lady, I'm going to visit a few familiar engraving craftsmen outside, I'm afraid I won't be empty for half a day, come and see the shop!" ”
A woman's voice in the house answered, and Gu Zude pulled his legs out of the store without delay.
Jia Wei returned to the mansion, and when he arrived at the hanging flower gate of the inner house, he said to Mingyan, "I will tell you, how did you do to find a mansion in Dongcheng?" ”
A few days ago, he told Mingyan to go to Dongcheng to buy a mansion, at least three entrances, and the location should not be too biased. so that he can use it.
Those lifters and talents invited by Zhao Heng will all be placed in this mansion to do things in the future.
Right now, the date promised by Zhao Heng is coming, and he is about to meet with these talents, and the location is naturally in this mansion.
Time was a little tight, and he didn't plan to urge Mingyan, but after thinking about it, he still urged it.
"Second master, can I still not do what you have to do? Two days ago, I went to Dongcheng to find a tooth man, and he took me to five or six places, all of which were mansions with more than three entrances as ordered by the second master.
"Right now, I've picked one, but the price is a little higher, and it hasn't been finalized yet, so I haven't told the second master. If the second master is in a hurry, tomorrow afternoon, he will go and see for himself. If you prefer, you can pay the deposit on the spot or pay it directly. ”
Seeing the question, Mingyan hurriedly explained the matter neatly.
For a while, Jia Wei's stall was a bit big, selling jewelry styles, printing catalogues, and buying mansions, which made him, Li Gui and others a little incomprehensible.
However, Jia Wei didn't say it, so they naturally didn't dare to ask more, at most, they just occasionally knocked on the side and clicked a few words.
But in any case, one thing they know very well is that the second master is really very different from the past, and there seem to be signs of doing big things outside.
This is a great thing for those around them.
As long as Jia Wei really does something big outside, then they can immediately become a member of the stewardship.
There is no need to wait until Jia Wei is an adult to divide the house.
"Yes, I'm in a hurry. Then according to what you said, I will go to see it in person tomorrow, if it is good, there is no need to pay a deposit, and it will be delivered directly. Jia Wei nodded and said, still very satisfied with the efficiency of Mingyan.
So saying, he walked into the inner house without further words.
After passing through the inner house all the way to the garden, entering the courtyard, the weather was a little hot today, and his clothes were a little thicker, and he was sweating, so he didn't plan to go to the study immediately, but wanted to take a bath first.
In charge of his washing, it was Autumn Pattern and Blue Mark.
They lived in the same room, and Jia Wei went directly to find them.
Outside the house, the door was hidden, and the two girls were half-lying on the bed talking.
Coincidentally, the topic happened to be on him.
Of course, if you think about it, it's not surprising that most of the topics that these big girls talk about every day are focused on their own masters, except for makeup and gossip.
Like Jia Wei, not to mention, he is a male host and a young man, they will all have the opportunity to become his concubine in the future, so naturally there are more topics to talk about him on weekdays.
It's just that sometimes it's in Akari, sometimes it's behind people's backs.
Jia Wei happened to hear them talking about him behind his back at this time.
“…… Hey, Qiu Wen, now that the second master is getting older and older, I'm embarrassed to bathe him. Bijin said with a slight blush.
"O little hoof, to whom! Yesterday, I helped the second master take a bath, and you still kept washing in that place, so you are embarrassed to say this......" Hearing this, Qiu Wen snorted and scolded back with a smile.
"And you don't wash that place all the time, don't you?"
"I'm not like you, duplicity!"
"It's not...... I mean, after all, the second master is old, and when he bathes, he is always panicked......"
"You hooves, it's Sichun, right?"
"Ah, if you talk about me like that, I'll tear your mouth......" Bijin got up and rode on Autumn Tattoo, making a gesture to tear his mouth.
