Chapter 193 - Transfer to Health
Check the scroll and follow the pursuit
Adjust the wealth of the commander-in-chief of Huaidong
In Pingjiang Mansion, Yang Yuandao was also unhappy, and Huang Tingjian's book scroll was looking for a dead end.
Sun stole the scroll, did not know its value, and did not have the courage to sell it openly. handed it over to Chen Fei, only to tell him that it was given by Old Man Xu, and Chen Fei didn't know how to sell it. Take it to the pawn shop and pawn it first. The shopkeeper asked: Dead or alive. Chen Feiwen didn't understand anything, and it was the first time he came here, so he didn't know what he meant. The shopkeeper told him that this is jargon, and that when he dies, that is, he will not redeem it later, which is equivalent to selling, and he will temporarily mortgage it immediately, and repay the price and interest within the specified period.
Chen Fei hurriedly asked: How do you say when you live, and what do you say when you die?
Fifty taels for life and sixty taels for death.
Then live it, but at least one hundred and twenty taels. Although Chen Fei has not read for a few days, he deals with business all day long in the hotel, and knows that businessmen are thieves and sell things, and they always boast like flowers, desperately raising prices and buying things, but it is not good here, bad there, and bargaining. Anyway, it just doesn't suffer.
Where is it worth so much, it will give you eighty taels at most.
Hey, the shopkeeper, it's not so slaughtering, but I asked, this is a big calligrapher's ink treasure, to say the least, it's worth one hundred and fifty taels. If it weren't for the family's urgency to ask for money, they wouldn't sell it if they gave two hundred taels.
The shopkeeper understands that the people who come are not so easy to deal with, they are not only worked, but also have no oil and water. Add a little price and see: it should be a maximum of ninety taels.
Chen Fei picked up the scroll, folded it, turned his head and left. Out of the pawnshop, the shopkeeper shouted:
Brother stay, one hundred taels.
Chen Fei stopped and looked at the shopkeeper: One hundred and twenty taels, one is not less.
The shopkeeper stopped talking, and his right hand was swinging outward.
With this experience, Chen Fei has a bottom. Don't look at it as just a piece of paper, with dozens of words written on it, in front of some literati, it is a treasure, which can be worth thousands of stone of rice.
The next day, he came early to Jing'anfang in the south of the city, where there was a Zhizhen Zhai who sold books and the four treasures of the study. There were no customers in the shop, a young man was sorting out the goods, and an old man in his seventies was reading a book. Walking to the old man's side, Chen Fei asked politely:
Do you have writing stickers for the elderly?
The old man is Wang Yanzhen, the father of the shopkeeper, and when he heard someone ask, he didn't raise his head, and replied: Yes, Wang Youjun, Yan Lugong, and Liu Gongquan are all there.
Is there Huang Tingjian?
Wang Yanzhen put down the book and raised his eyes to look at him: There is no post from the Taoist people in the valley. The guest officer likes his words? According to his observations, this person does not look like a scholar in terms of dress or speech, so why does he have a unique understanding of the words of the valley.
Chen Fei smiled, uncle, in fact, I don't buy his stickers, but there is a picture of his characters, I want to ask your old man to show it, how much can it be sold for?
The old man was taken aback and took a look. Chen Fei took out the package and peeled it off layer by layer, and Huang Tingjian's "Looking at Jiangdong" was presented on the counter.
The smoke tree at the west end of the river.
Out of sight, Jiangdong Road.
Thinking only dreams come and go.
Don't be afraid, Jiang Yan lived.
Countless books were written in front of the lamp.
It's not one, it's passed on by people.
Zhirao found the goose to pay.
Again, autumn will be twilight.
The work is a large-character calligraphy, the calligraphy is round and smooth, quiet and elegant, the strokes are vigorous and lush, and the spirit is leisurely, showing the characteristics of the yellow book. The payment and seal are complete, and it is not obvious that it is a fake.
The old man asked, young man, who are you from the valley road? How did this scroll of poetry come about?
Uncle is like this, my family lives in Xitangfang, surnamed Yang, and my family has a small business selling vegetables. Last year, my father was seriously ill and almost spent all the money in the family, and people left, and last month my mother was also sick and spent all the money in the family, and only this one is left. My wife brought this picture from her mother's house. I can't tell how it came about.
Are you trying to sell it?
Chen Fei looked innocent and spread his hands: Isn't there no way? Mom's life can't be saved, right?
The old man stared at him: What you said is all true? Don't have a sideline?
Chen Fei's face did not change: Of course it is true, who can lie about the life and death of his parents?
Tell you that there will be retribution for lying and deceiving. Wang Yanzhen was a little puzzled, and looked at Chen Fei with a stiff face.
Chen Fei is in a hurry, old man, don't you forget it, is it possible to sell your own things and protect people?
Young man, don't worry, I'm not afraid of causing trouble, since there is no way to come, let's sell it here. The old man smiled.
But my family needs money urgently.
This is easy to do, I can pay you in advance, and in three months, you can pay it back and redeem it. What do you think?
Then listen to you.
The old man picked up the poem scroll again and looked at it carefully: the words are from the valley Taoist, but unfortunately the quality of the words is not very good.
I said the appearance of the word. You see, the whole piece of paper is yellow, yes, it indicates a long age, but it has been cut off at the bottom, and the imprint has been folded, which affects the condition. If you frame it, it will look good and be easy to keep.
The king of Pingjiang Mansion took Chen Fei to Zhizhenzhai to inquire, but the old man was not there, and the man was also changed. The shopkeeper Wang Honghai didn't know that the old father had gone to Jianyang hemp yarn, and he didn't know when he would come back.
went to Jianyang and found the old man, only to know that his name was Wang Yanzhen, who was an old scholar. The old man told him that he would wait for you for three months and there would be no one to be seen, so he sold it without leaving his name.
What's wrong, it's not the right way? Wang Yanzhen asked Wang to join the army.
That's not it, it's his daughter-in-law's family who wants to go back. Wang joined the army to deal with it on behalf of Chen Fei.
Chen Fei immediately reacted, yes, yes, my mother's family said it was a good thing, and I was willing to pay more money to redeem it, old man, at the beginning, you paid two hundred taels, and now I pay three hundred taels to help me redeem it.
But I don't know what it's called, where I live, how can I help you find it?
At this point, Yang Yuandao had no good way. But things at home have changed again.
After the concubine Wang left, the house was a lot quieter. After a long time, the Xu family felt that they couldn't cope with it, and besides, as long as they had some money or some status, who was not hugging left and right, three wives and four concubines, a prefect, and no three or two concubines, it would make people laugh when they went out.
Yang Yuandao heard what his wife in his arms said, stared into her eyes and asked:
Are you telling the truth? Don't care about marrying her three or five?
To say that you don't care is a lie. But it's better than going out to recruit cats and dogs, do you dare to say that you won't be tempted when you see a young and beautiful person?
What if you're tempted? You have to be willing to do it, and you have to consider whether you can afford it.
Xianggong, why don't you let the sister of the Wang family come back.
If you want to come back, you can come back, and I didn't write a letter of resignation.
Then you don't want her?
What do you want her to do?
Tell me all kinds of lies.
I really haven't lied yet, you quarrel with her, am I facing you? Li Tong sentenced me to a matchmaker, did I refuse? Do they all sleep with you these days? Have I been to other women?
Okay, even if you have a conscience, you will kiss it as you speak, and reward you with two big steamed buns. The right hand stretched out to the lower body of the husband, oops, it's hard, come on, my aunt and grandmother will have fun with you today.
After the matter was over, he relieved, and the Xu family talked about the Wang family again. Yang Yuandao told her, you don't have to send someone to pick her up, and don't agree to let her live outside. Wait, she didn't take a leave of absence, can she remarry? Who dares to marry if you marry? People are not allowed to inquire, just the temper of jumping into the river at every turn, who dares to ask for it? Don't worry, she'll be back!
If this was the case, ten days later, the father of the Wang family sent his daughter back. He also said that his daughter is young, ignorant, and has a bad temper, so please take care of the prefect and his wife.
Yang Yuandao asked the Wang family to come out, and said in front of everyone: It's okay to come back, but you have to make it clear, first, you can't go out to live alone, and second, you can't jump into the river at every turn, so as not to say that our Yang family bullied her. Take a stand.
Wang lowered his head and blushed. Her father knew that he couldn't pull the son, and his daughter was embarrassed, so I promised her to come down. Suddenly clapped his hands, oh, I remembered, report a great joy to the prefect and his wife, my daughter is pregnant, and your Yang family is going to import Ding again.
At this time, Yang Yuandao and his wife Xu both laughed. Said in a loud voice: happy event, happy event.
At this time, the imperial court's edict arrived: Yang Yuandao was the doctor of the Central Council and transferred to the general of the Huaixi Consulate General, with a grade of positive four grades.
In the evening, everyone dispersed, and Yang Yuandao said to his wife and concubine: This time I went to be healthy and different from the past, both of you will return to Lin'an, take care of the children, and take care of the fetus.
Xu asked: Health is also a good place, why not go.
Do you know that the dispatch of the Consulate General is to raise military supplies and military expenses, and this time the imperial court will be restored, and it must be determined to go on a northern expedition. Health is on the edge of the Yangtze River, once the war is tight, it is likely to become a battlefield, if you go, aren't you asking for trouble, or Lin'an insurance.
Wang said, Xianggong, let my sister take the child to Lin'an, and I will take care of you healthily.
Xu said: You just got pregnant, and you have a bad mouth, how can you have the spirit to take care of him.
Sister, I'm not that delicate. You let me go.
