Chapter Seventy-Three: Joy
Back in Yefu, as soon as Shang Tao got off the carriage, Konka greeted him, but just when he saw Xiu'er coming down, Konka's expression couldn't help but stagnate.
Shang Tao knew that Xiao Loli must have misunderstood that she had gone home to take a woman again, so he hurriedly explained: "This is Xiu'er, the concubine that Uncle Ye just received." ”
Konka's unhappiness was suddenly swept away, she smiled politely at the other party, and said hello: "Hello Miss Xiu'er." ”
Xiu'er gave a slight salute, because she didn't know Konka's name, so she smiled sweetly, which was considered a return gift.
"Brother Shang Gongzi, do you remember those lottery tickets you bought last time? I went to Datang Fucai this afternoon to claim the prize, oops, what are the thousand-digit lottery numbers in that period? ”
"Is it just one wrong number?" Shang Tao also bought lottery tickets for a period of time in the afterlife of the earth, and it often happened that it was three against two, so he answered like this.
"No, Brother Shang Gongzi, you can guess this? But you definitely can't guess that the lottery result is the number you picked, it's a pity, if you don't change the number, you can win 1,200 taels of silver, it's all your fault. ”
"It can't be such a coincidence, right? Did the other 13 Lotto win? Shang Tao couldn't help but sigh that he had never won a bonus of more than twenty yuan in the next life on Earth.
"It's such a coincidence! Only two of the Lotto bets were drawn to the icon, and only 40 copper plates were won, but they didn't get it. Konka said regretfully.
"Oh, why?" Shang Tao asked puzzled.
"Because it's past the prize redemption period."
"In that case, fortunately, the thousand-digit winning number is not 758 plus the moon icon." Shang Tao said.
"Hehe, that's right, otherwise it would be even more regrettable if you win the prize but you can't get it."
Bidding farewell to Ye Maoyan and the others, Shang Tao and Kang Jia walked towards the side courtyard where they lived, and entered the living room, Kang Jia couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Shang Gongzi, that Xiu'er, wouldn't it be you who bought it to give Uncle Ye?" ”
"Well, what do you think?"
"It looks pretty and looks like everyone's ladies, so it should be worth a lot of money, right?" Konka asked curiously.
"It's really everyone's lady, she used to be the daughter of the county order of Fengluan County, but unfortunately she is no longer a virgin, and it cost me 150,000 taels of silver."
"So expensive? How could the daughter of the Fengluan City County Order fall to this point? ”
"Because his father was a criminal official, she was included in the prostitute."
"It's pathetic."
"Well, you go and play with Chan'er, Brother Shang Gongzi and I'm going to be busy."
Shang Tao is very rare to get together with a few women without returning home, and some of the raw materials for the rubber liquid purchased today have already found a source, and it will take about ten days to transport it to Diezhang City if it is far away.
Therefore, Shang Tao plans to make a simple dryer before all the raw materials are in place, and the other is to draw the drawings of the chemical reaction utensils, and find a glass workshop to blow them out tomorrow, and by the way, make some glass condom molds.
In addition, Shang Tao plans to buy a house with a yard in Diezhang City, after all, it is not convenient to live in Ye Maoyan's house.
The most important thing is that the production of condoms is not as troublesome as chili sauce after all, so Shang Tao does not plan to take Ye Maoyan and Kangdi together, and does not let Ye Maoyan participate in a piece of the pie, so it is naturally not good to develop and produce condoms in Yefu.
The best way, of course, is to buy a yard by yourself, and then the family produces them at home behind closed doors, and the condoms produced can be sold in some pharmacies in Diezhang City, or simply find a national chain pharmacy in Datang as a distributor, and you only need to supply them with them.
After Shang Tao finished drawing the drawings, he went to find Ye Maoyan and expressed his intention to buy a small courtyard in Stacked City.
"Nephew Shang Xian, isn't he used to living in Ye Mansion?"
"Uncle Ye is worried a lot, mainly because he wants to set up a home in Diezhang City, so that he can have a foothold in Diezhang City in the future."
"You treat Ye Mansion as your own home."
Shang Tao didn't answer Ye Maoyan's words, and asked directly: "I don't know how much the house with an independent courtyard near the West Gate in Diezhang City will cost?" ”
"Since Shang Xian's nephew insists on buying it, then I'll accompany you to Yaxing tomorrow to ask, the house with an independent yard near the West Gate is not too expensive, and it is estimated that the big house with a cross courtyard on both sides of the front and back will only cost 150,000 to 200,000 taels of silver."
"So cheap, huh?"
"What? Why does Shang Xiandi think that this price is still cheap? ”
"Look, I spent 150,000 taels of silver to buy a top brand, doesn't this mean that this big house is only worth the price of a top brand in a green house?"
"Nephew Shang Xian, you misunderstood, the price of Huaqingchi is almost more than ten times that of other Qinglou brothels on the market, in other words, if you buy a top brand with the same appearance in the next Qinglou, it will only cost more than 10,000 taels of silver."
", didn't I let that old bustard in Huaqingchi give him a pit?" Shang Tao was a little remorseful, no wonder Ye Maoyan kept sleeping with that Xiu'er for a few months, it turned out that the reason was here.
"It can't be regarded as a pit, one is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell, it's only because you don't understand the market, but that Xiu'er is really good, sure enough, you get what you pay for, and the Duo'er I bought back for four thousand taels of silver is simply incomparable with her."
Hearing Ye Maoyan's last words, Shang Tao suddenly felt that he had suffered 10,000 critical hits.
Damn, I've already bought it, and I've already sent it, so it's useless to think about it, so Shang Tao simply didn't think about it, because the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt in my heart.
Shang Tao said goodbye to Ye Maoyan, and after returning to the west courtyard where he lived, he couldn't help but tell his four women about buying Xiu'er and being pitted.
"Brother Shang Gongzi, you are really, you didn't tell us about buying the first card to give to Uncle Ye, you spent more than 100,000 taels of silver in vain, otherwise the money saved would be enough to buy a big mansion in Diezhang City." Li Linger opened her mouth and complained.
"Hey, don't mention it, I'm going to go out tomorrow and buy a house near the West Gate, which of you wants to go with me?"
"Me!" The four women said in unison.
"Brother Shang Gongzi, why do you want to buy a house in such a remote location as Ximen?" Konka asked puzzled.
"Because your brother Shang Gongzi and I are poor, I originally sold the toilet and earned 350,000 taels of silver, but it turned out that the raw materials for ordering condoms cost almost 10,000 taels of silver, and I bought a top brand for Ye Maoyan and unjustly spent 150,000 taels, and now there are less than 190,000 taels of silver left, so I can't afford to buy a house in the center of the city."
"Brother Shang Gongzi, I still have about 100,000 taels on me, or I will transfer the silver to your card." Konka said.
"I also have more than fifty thousand taels of silver and more than five hundred taels of gold." Li Linger also said.
"I saved 100,000 taels of silver, and I went back and gave it to Brother Shang Gongzi." Su Chan'er followed and said.
"Only I don't have any money, Brother Shang Gongzi, I'm so useless, I can't help you at all." Wang Xiaoying said disappointedly.
"Who said that our family Yingying is useless, at least you are still very useful at night, don't you see that I use it every night?"
"That's different." Wang Xiaoying muttered in a low voice, then lowered her head and stopped squeaking.
Shang Tao turned to Konka and the three little rich women and said: "You have all your own silver, the 190,000 taels on me should be enough to buy a big mansion with three entrances and three exits with left and right courtyards near the West Gate."
In fact, the reason why I plan to buy a house near the West Gate is mainly to facilitate our production of condoms, and I don't plan to take Ye Maoyan and Jiajia your father to do it together. Jiajia, you won't tell your dad about this secretly, right? ”
"Brother Shang Gongzi, I am your woman, I will always be on your side, I will be sad if you ask me like this." Konka said aggrievedly.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, don't be sad, good, laugh."
"Actually, the condom matter can't be hidden from Uncle Kang and Uncle Ye for too long, so it's better to tell them openly and honestly. lest they know about it in the future and have a suspicion. Su Chan'er opened her mouth to suggest.
"What if they say they want to take a stake?" Shang Tao voiced his concerns.
"Then before they speak, you should preemptively indicate that this business is small and profitable, and you won't take them to do it together, I guess as long as you put it forward first and express that you want to do it alone, they should not put forward the idea of wanting to participate in the shares."
"Well, I'll mention it to him tomorrow. By the way, this condom will be handed over to you to give birth for the time being, Yingying, aren't you complaining that you can't help me? When I get back to condom production, you can help me. ”
"Well, I'll definitely try." Wang Xiaoying held her little pink fist and swore that she was "vomiting" as she spoke, as if she wanted to vomit, but she couldn't vomit.
Shang Tao, Su Chan'er, and Li Ling'er suddenly looked at Wang Xiaoying with three pairs of eyes, only Kang Jia, who didn't understand the pregnancy reaction at all, didn't know why.
Kang Jia looked at Wang Xiaoying for a while, and then at Shang Tao and the three of them, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you all staring at Sister Yingying?" ”
"Sister Yingying, you shouldn't be pregnant, right?" Li Ling'er was the first to ask.
At this time, Konka finally understood, and suddenly a small face became very exciting, and envy, jealousy, helplessness, and grievances were all manifested on his face.
"I don't know...... ...... vomit," Wang Xiaoying said, and quickly got up and ran outside the house.
Shang Tao and the others hurriedly chased out, and saw Wang Xiaoying bending down and standing in the yard, vomiting on the ground.
"You take care of Yingying, I'll ask a doctor to come back and take a look." Shang Tao said and rushed out of the West Cross Courtyard and went straight to the main gate of the Ye Mansion in the front yard.
On the way, the more Shang Tao thought about it, the more he felt that Wang Xiaoying was very likely to be pregnant, because when he did it with her, it may be that she was too young and too tight, so the number of fish drifting and slipping was the most.
Soon, Shang Tao knocked on the door of a medical hall not far away, and then said that he would simply throw out ten taels of silver before the old doctor agreed to take a look at him.
Shang Tao led the doctor back to Ye Mansion, called for Wang Xiaoying, and then said confidently: "Congratulations to the son, your lady has been pregnant for almost a month and a half." ”
Sure enough, as he guessed, Shang Tao was in a very complicated mood at the moment, he was only twenty-three years old, he had never thought of having a child so early, and he was not psychologically prepared to be a father.
In addition, Wang Xiaoying is only 14 years old, and the risk of getting pregnant at such a young age is too high.
Shang Tao's heart was full of uneasiness and worry......
