Chapter 197: Turning it in

Previous Chapter

To tell the truth, Liu Chengqian is also a thorough poor person in later generations, suffering deeply, and now seeing these extremely rare gold and jade things, his heart is also very stupid, but reason tells him that if he has nothing to do, he will not go to the Three Treasures Palace, and it will be difficult to find heavy gifts. Therefore, Liu Chengqian just looked at these belongings slightly, and did not show any sound, unlike Xiaohuan, who was happy to see the hunt and shouted.

Zhang Dagui saw Liu Chengqian's unmoved look, he couldn't help but be shocked, glanced at Liu Chengqian with some disappointment, and then hurriedly opened the last small box, the box was opened, the red silk paved the bottom of the box, the jade frame lattice was supported, and the light gauze thin pad jade frame was on top of the tulle, and two white beads the size of a dragon's eye were placed on the tulle, which were unremarkable.

Although Liu Chengqian can't see any special features of these two beads, but seeing Zhang Dagui's careful opening of the box, the box is laid grandly, it must also be a rare treasure, Liu Chengqian from later generations has never eaten pork and seen the pig run, the beads can be regarded as a top treasure, the most famous is the legendary night pearl.

So, Liu Chengqian looked at the two pale white beads, smiled at Zhang Dagui and asked, "Zhang Yuanwai, is this the legendary night pearl?" ”

After listening to Liu Chengqian's question, Zhang Dagui was obviously a little surprised, looked at Liu Chengqian in surprise, and asked him in disbelief: "Second son, do you also know these two beads?" ”

"I don't know, but I've heard that the night pearl in the daytime, plain, and ordinary beads are no different, only in the night will shine, the brighter the light, the more precious, now I see you these two beads, very similar to the legendary night pearl, so there is such a question, I don't know if it's right?"

"Yes, the second son really has good eyesight, these two beads are the legendary night pearls, which are rare things sold by merchants of the Tang Kingdom, because the merchant has some friendship with the contemptible people, so the contemptible people can buy them from him at a low price, and now they are given to the son as a personal belonging, which is convenient for the son to walk at night, and I hope the son will accept it with a smile." After Zhang Dagui praised Liu Chengqian's opinion, he said respectfully to Liu Chengqian.

"Zhang Yuanwai, I can't just take such a valuable thing, you better take it back..."

"Second son, this is a little bit of the villain's heart, you can't help but accept it." Hearing that Liu Chengqian refused the gift he sent to the door, Zhang Dagui couldn't help but be a little anxious, and immediately interrupted Liu Chengqian's words and persuaded him urgently.

"Needless to say, Zhang Yuanwai, I can't accept any of these gifts, you can take them back." Liu Chengqian said categorically again.

"Second son..."Zhang Dagui wanted to say something more, but seeing Liu Chengqian's resolute expression of refusal, he had to keep his mouth shut and look at Liu Chengqian blankly, his eyes hesitant and disappointed.

"Is there something difficult about Zhang Yuanwai?" Seeing Zhang Dagui's hesitant and uncertain appearance, Liu Chengqian couldn't help but ask him again.

Zhang Dagui asked, hesitated slightly, and then said: "Don't dare to hide it from the second son, a few days ago, the villain trafficked a batch of jewelry and brocade from the Tang Kingdom and the Shu Kingdom back to Song City, but asked those officials of Nanya to detain all of them, and it was these jewelry and Shu brocade." Zhang Dagui said, pointing to the gold and jade hairpin rings and brocades on the table.

"What the hell is going on?" Liu Chengqian asked a little uncertainly.

"Those officials of Nanya said that the customs clearance documents handled by the villain are not complete, but the documents handled by the villain himself to them, how can it be incomplete, and then they said that the property we sold is huge, and the source is unknown, so they detained the goods on our dock and have been waiting to be investigated, son, you say, how can there be such a truth in the world." Zhang Dagui said with some indignation.

"Hmm." When Liu Chengqian heard this, he probably knew that those soldiers in Nanya wanted to list all kinds of crimes and embezzle Zhang Dagui's property. In front of the wealth, the world is as black as a crow, and there is no one who does not stretch out his hand, but to see whose greed is even greater.

Zhang Dagui saw that Liu Chengqian heard what happened to him, he only sighed, and was speechless, anxious in his heart, and couldn't help but kneel down to Liu Chengqian and beg: "I also hope that the second son will help for the sake of our past acquaintance, and say a few more kind words in front of Liu Dashuai, be accommodating, the great kindness of the son, the villain will be unforgettable for a lifetime." ”

"Brother Zhang, please hurry up, I will definitely help you, please rest assured." Seeing Zhang Dagui kneeling down for himself, Liu Chengqian hurriedly supported Zhang Dagui with both hands, and after letting Zhang Dagui get up, he said.

Although Zhang Dagui is one of the richest businessmen in Song City, he is also extremely righteous and generous, not those who are unkind to the rich and fall into the well, the thin man Chai Wu robbed his money bag, and later heard about Chai Wu's family tragedy, he not only did not resent Chai Wu, but also gave Chai Wu some money righteously, indicating that he is a very kind person in his heart. Therefore, Liu Chengqian was still happy to help him in his heart.

"Thank you Second Son, thank you Second Son." Zhang Dagui heard that Liu Chengqian was willing to help, and knew that he was Liu Zhiyuan's son, and if he came forward, he would definitely succeed immediately, and he couldn't help but thank him again and again.

"Brother Zhang doesn't need to be so polite, please take a seat."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Hearing that Liu Chengqian changed his name, Zhang Dagui couldn't help but be a little flattered, and shook his hand again and again.

"Since the last time, after identifying the innocence for Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang not only did not hate Chai Wu, but also used righteousness and squandering money, helping people like Chai Wu, you are a high-spirited and bright temperament, so that I admire it very much, a big brother, you still deserve it, I thought about coming to the door to make friends, who would have thought, but then many unsatisfactory things happened, and the younger brother was forced to go to Hutou Mountain, so that he missed Brother Zhang." Liu Chengqian laughed.

After Zhang Dagui sat down, Liu Chengqian asked Xiaohuan to serve tea to Zhang Dagui, and then asked Zhang Dagui with a smile: "Brother Zhang, take the liberty of asking, you have been running a silk and treasure business in Songcheng for many years, I don't know how profitable these businesses are?" ”

Zhang Dagui was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know why Liu Chengqian asked this, he couldn't help but glance at him vigilantly, Liu Chengqian saw it, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, the younger brother just asks casually, and has no other meaning." ”

Zhang Dagui looked at Liu Chengqian for a while, and after being sure that he had no malicious intentions, he said slowly: "Second son, please forgive me, the current situation is turbulent, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, please forgive the villain for being rude just now." ”

"It's to be cautious, it's to be cautious, but Brother Zhang shouldn't call the second son and the second son anymore, it seems that we have some raw points, if Brother Zhang can afford to be below, you might as well call Brother Chengqian or brother in Xia, we are all bold people, and we don't care about that set of falsehood." Liu Chengqian looked at Langsheng and said.

"Hehe, then the big brother will climb high." Although Zhang Dagui didn't know why Liu Chengqian suddenly wanted to turn his knots in, but in the past, he didn't seem to be a despicable person when he talked and did things, and his current identity is higher than his own, or he has climbed high, he couldn't help but smile innocently, and immediately changed his words, he was also a bold person, he got closer, opened his mind, and spoke more heartily.

"What kind of high and low climbing, if it was before, I was not a person like Brother Zhang, eating, drinking, and Lazar had everything?" Liu Chengqian joked.

"Hehe, Brother Chengqian, it's the eldest brother who is too preoccupied with appearance, and he can't let go of Yourou." Zhang Dagui listened to it, and said a little embarrassed, and then continued: "As for the jewelry and silk profits you just asked, brother, if there are disasters today, people's livelihood is turbulent, and the times are difficult, what kind of business is not easy to do, our jewelry and silk are high-end products, and there are fewer and fewer people who can afford them, and the profits can barely make ends meet." Zhang Dagui said, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

"Then does Big Brother Zhang have any plans to change his career to do some other business?"
