Chapter 24: It's all under control
"Persuasion...... Persuade him to raise the price? ”
Cui Shi was dumbfounded, and when the Zuo Pavilion Master returned to Shulinzhai, he couldn't come back to his senses. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Did I hear me wrong? Fifty yuan to write a letter, it is simply a sky-high price, but the owner of the Zuo Pavilion is not enough, so he took the initiative to ask Chen Zhi to raise the price? ”
It was a long moment before he shook his head, unable to understand at all.
"Even if that amazing calligraphy is really from Chen Zhi's hand, such a letter is really worth fifty dollars, or more?"
Cui Shi, who runs around every day to make a living, earns meager profits with a pen and no numbers, can't understand why anyone is willing to spend a lot of money to buy something he doesn't seem to need at all.
This is due to the difference in social status and consumption concepts, when some people can only barely meet the necessities of life, it is natural to understand those who are willing to spend money on non-necessities and even luxuries.
But what really contributes to social development is not luxury.
Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, there is no immunity.
"I'm really sorry, I only have such a little silver on my body, please don't blame Mr."
In the study, Chen Zhuyi and the others also looked at Zuo Yuan, who had gone and returned, and saw him apologize uncontrollably to Chen, almost suspiciously in a dream.
Who's selling, exactly? Who's buying?
"It's okay, it's good that the heart arrives." Chen Zhi was also not polite, put away the silver, and comforted Zuo Yuan, who was full of shame.
"Alas, there is one more thing I want to advise Mr," Zuo Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "Fifty dollars and 100 words, this price is too low, I hope Mr. can increase the price somewhat, in fact, if Mr. has any difficulties, you can speak, Zuo is not talented, but he also knows some people......"
"I'm also on a whim," Chen Zhi shook his head and rejected the proposal, "Mr. Zuo, please go back first." ”
"That being the case, then Zuo will leave, it's really ashamed, ashamed." Zuo Yuan realized that he shouldn't talk deeply, and he was not a person who liked to be entangled, so after saying goodbye, he shook his head and left.
"This person went and came back, is he here to ask the eldest brother to raise the price?" Chen Xi looked at it in a daze, spit out such a sentence for a while, and looked at the others, and the eyes of the last family fell on Chen Zhi, but when they saw the latter, they frowned, and looked at the silver in their hands and sighed and shook their heads.
"This is not a good phenomenon, the commodity economy is prosperous, the consumer market is vigorous, and the circulation of money is accelerated, which is certainly conducive to the economy of the feudal dynasty, but the inflated value of luxury goods often means a change in social atmosphere, means the disconnection between the ruling elite and the masses, and means the gap between the rich and the poor, and in the feudal economy, it often involves land annexation, and there are many worries."
In the study, Chen Zhi sighed with emotion, still holding five taels of silver in his hand, and looked worried about the country and the people.
This silver was turned around by the Zuo Yuan Zuo Pavilion Master, rummaged through his body, and finally made it up, and gave it to Chen Zhi, just like this, Zuo Yuan was still full of shame, feeling that he had taken advantage of it, Chen Zhi suffered a big loss, if it wasn't for Chen Zhi's good life and comfort, I'm afraid he would be reluctant to leave.
As a result, as soon as the owner of the Zuo Pavilion left, Chen Zhi looked at the silver, shook his head, sighed, and his face was full of worry.
This scene fell in the eyes of Chen Fu, Chen Zhu and others, but it made their eyelids jump and they felt stomach pain.
You make a lot of money, but you sigh with a face, as if you don't want to make this money at all, not to mention, the person who paid for it still feels guilty, for fear of giving less money, so I just beg you to raise the price, so that others can see it, what do you think?
"Big brother, what's wrong with making money? Why aren't you happy? Chen Xi was still direct and asked what was in his heart.
On the other side, Chen Fu looked at the gambling debt document on the table, and then looked at the five taels of silver in Chen Zhi's hand, and for a moment he felt like he was in a dream.
"That's five taels of silver?"
Thinking that he was worried about the huge amount of gambling debts just now, he was full of anger at the small tricks of several gambling houses, and he was confused by the attitude of the eldest young master's understatement, but he didn't have a single meal, and nearly half of the gambling debts were already in hand, thinking back to the appearance of the owner of the Zuo Pavilion, I am afraid that he has not given enough, and if he has more money, he will definitely continue to give.
"No wonder so many people want to study, or study to make money!"
At this moment, Chen Fu felt that he had found the true meaning of those people's studies.
"Okay, it's not a big deal, don't make a fuss," Chen Zhi smiled slightly at the shocked eyes of his family, "What should I do, have a good meal at night," he said, he glanced at Chen Xi and blinked, "How about it, I said someone is going to send money, right?" ”
Chen Xi changed his self-blame for a few days, touched his nose, and laughed.
And Chen Zhu was also relieved and completely relieved.
His mental pressure is really not small, although Chen Zhi looks like he has improved, but the so-called nature is difficult to change, after all, people can't rest assured, before this, Chen Zhi's boss is Chen Zhi, but the one who is really worried about the future of the family is Chen Zhi, who ranks second.
In the past few days, the house has been destroyed, the creditor is coming to the door, and a few days ago, Chen Zhi has been in trouble, Chen Zhi can be described as working hard, running around, but with little success, the heartstrings are tight, until this moment, looking at the piece of silver, he really let go of his heart, and there is a feeling of unloading the burden on his body.
"In the future, this family will really have a pillar."
Looking at Chen Zhi's indifferent smile, Chen Zhi couldn't help but smile.
As for Chen Xi and Chen Man, because of their age, they simply felt happy and felt hopeful. And that Aunt Liu was even more in awe of Chen Zhi, which could be seen from her look and eyes, and she became more and more cautious, but there was also joy in her eyes.
The family laughed and enjoyed themselves for various reasons, and this harmonious atmosphere lasted until the arrival of Chen Jue at noon.
As soon as Chen Jue came, he noticed the atmosphere in the store, and he had some doubts in his heart, but he made up his mind to wait and see not far or near, so he didn't ask much, he came over this time to convey the order of the head of the family, Chen Chi.
"Uncle asked me to go to the house? So what's going on? Chen Zhi listened to Chen Jue's intentions and already had a guess, but he still asked.
"It's not something that can be asked about by a small one." Chen Jue replied cautiously.
Chen Zhi nodded, explained a few words to his family, and followed Chen Jue on the road.
When I arrived at Chen's Mansion, it was a familiar scene again, and the servants and maids along the way maintained politeness to Chen Zhi, and they didn't look like they were hiding from the plague god, but they were not eager, and they were faintly repulsed.
"There are rumors about me in the house again?" Chen Zhi took a look, noticed everyone's expressions, and judged the general situation, "There is Chen Chi's warning, no one takes the initiative to trouble me, so I can only use roundabout tactics, just like the general is marching outside, and the villain is slandering the palace, so I will be summoned today, and the one who can do this kind of thing is probably Chen Yun." ”
Chen Zhi thought as he walked, and his thoughts gradually cleared up.
"According to his style, he may be looking at me from afar, wanting to see the results of his actions with his own eyes, but unfortunately, he will be disappointed again."
………………
"The fourth brother is really like a god, just like the Marquis of Wu and the Marquis of Chen, who are strategizing, and as soon as the seventh brother writes letters on behalf of the foreign generation, even the uncle can't bear it, so he immediately called him over, and he must be reprimanded."
In a small attic in the backyard of the Chen Mansion, there are two men standing in front of the window, the younger one of them is complimenting the people around him with a smile, this person is named Chen Xuan, and Chen Zhi is the second son of Chen Zhi, the sixth elder of the Chen family, and ranks tenth in Chen Zhi's generation.
It was Chen Yun who stood next to Chen Xuan.
Looking from the position of the two of them, they could just see Chen Zhi walking in the courtyard corridor.
Chen Yun smiled coldly, showing that everything was under control, and said: "What he did was so ridiculous, he lost all the face of my Chen Mansion, I just did my best to help my family." ”
Chen Xuan smiled: "Then I'll wait and see what will happen to Seventh Brother." ”
