It was rare to see Hu Chuyuan, so Hu Yueqiao asked casually: "Chu Yuan, have the affairs of the business bank been properly handled?" ”

Hu Chuyuan said: "The shops in Jiangsu have already started to open, and the shops in Zhejiang and Anhui will be able to operate in a few days." ”

Hu Yueqiao pulled him aside and asked quietly: "Is the turnover of money still flexible, you are separated, I guess you have no liquidity in your hands, you must always keep living money to buy goods and buy goods in this business, don't hold the books to death!" ”

Hu Chuyuan said with a smile: "It can still be turned, the debts owed to me by the Xiangjun are also paid with interest, paid once a month, I will put all the debts in the bank, all the interest will be given to the bank, and then borrow money from the bank to turnover." ”

Hu Yueqiao said: "That's good, but can't Qianzhuang borrow, I heard that there are tens of millions of debts!" ”

Hu Chuyuan said: "I can't borrow for the time being, but the gross profit of the money bank is more, and there are many ways to make money, so I don't necessarily have to lend, just hold on to it for now." After surviving this half a year, my funds will be in a loophole! ”

Hu Yueqiao was very satisfied with what she heard, and said with a smile: "I know that your kid is stubborn, but his ability to do business will not be bad." How did I remember to come to the pharmacy today, is there someone at home who wants to grab medicine? ”

Hu Chuyuan said with a smile: "No, I was reading at home, and I accidentally read that a medicinal herb called dragon bone, and what the book said was amazing, so I came to take a look." ”

Hu Yueqiao wondered in her heart, thinking, this kid still has the heart to read?

He said: "The keel is the ancient bone, the one with fine lines like armor is the female, and the one without the lines like the stone is the male, I will let the master who grabs the medicine show it to you!" ”

Hu Chuyuan nodded.

Soon, Hu Yueqiao took out the keel medicine from the medicine shop.

There are very few medicinal uses of this kind, mainly to restrain the spirit and calm the shock, and there are only dozens of complete keels in the medicine store.

Hu Chuyuan took a look, but found that it was not a turtle belly shell engraved with oracle bone inscriptions, or some fossils, and it was an obvious leg bone, maybe it was still a dinosaur.

Dinosaur fossils are not in a hurry to ponder for the time being.

Hu Chuyuan asked, "Is there anything that looks like a turtle shell with fine lines on it?" ”

Hu Yueqiao said: "Oh, that's a female keel, I'm afraid there is also one, mainly for the treatment of physical weakness." ”

After waiting for a while, the master who grabbed the medicine found a few keels again, and this time, Hu Chuyuan was satisfied, it was indeed a turtle shell engraved with oracle bone inscriptions.

After playing with the turtle shell, he and the master who grabbed the medicine asked, "Where is such a female keel produced?" ”

The master who grabbed the medicine said: "Yu Shaodong, this thing is only in Anyang, Henan, and it is all dug up by farmers in their own fields, and it comes and goes, the yield is very small, and it is used even less!" ”

Hu Chuyuan continued to play for a while, and said to Hu Yueqiao: "Fourth uncle, I think this thing is not the bones of the dragon mentioned in the book, or the turtle shell, but it is very old. It's very interesting to have a play, you can inquire for me, where is Anyang produced, send someone there to buy more, how much to have. In addition, all the medicine stores in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have a look, but if there is such a thing, they will all be put down for me. Especially to look at the fine lines, the more interesting the fine lines on this, the more I want to keep them for fun! ”

Hu Yueqiao was even more puzzled in his heart, he didn't know what collectible value this thing had, and it was not a cultural relic or antique, but since Hu Chuyuan had opened the "Golden Mouth", then he would do it.

What is called "Chrysostom", a mouth, spit out is real money, this is "Chrysostom".

In the hearts of the people of Hangzhou, even if Hu Chuyuan spits, it is made of white silver.

After taking dozens of "female dragon bones", Hu Chuyuan immediately returned to the Hu family's compound, but when he returned to the east study, he saw Yan Shizhang still touching the mahogany desk, and he was very happy.

Uh-huh.

Hu Chuyuan coughed lightly.

"Ahh Looking up and seeing Hu Chuyuan coming in, Yan Shizhang asked with a surprised face, "Dongjia, are you back so soon?" ”

Hu Chuyuan asked, "Have you written the letter of recommendation?" ”

Yan Shizhang looked embarrassed and said, "It's brewing...... Write now! ”

Hu Chuyuan asked the family to put those keels on the table on the other side, and said to Yan Shizhang: "Don't write for the time being, Mr. Yan, don't you take a look at these things, I think it's very interesting!" ”

"Oh!" Yan Shizhang hurriedly walked over, picked up a few pieces of turtle belly and observed for a while, and said, "This is the female keel mentioned in the medical book, which is produced in Henan. ”

Hu Chuyuan nodded silently, pointed to the carvings on the turtle plate and asked Yan Shizhang, "Do you think this is more like some words?" ”

Yan Shizhang looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "It is indeed like a small seal, but there is a big difference." ”

Hu Chuyuan tried very hard to find a few relatively recognizable glyphs inside, pointed to Yan Shizhang, and said, "I think this is the word for water, and this is the word for rain." You see, this one looks like a wheat character, and this one is more like a soil character. ”

"Uh-huh......!" Yan Shizhang didn't dare to answer immediately.

After thinking about it, he went back to the Hu family's library to find a copy of "Annotations on Ancient Seals", and checked through the books, and slowly found some traces.

The more he felt that this was like a kind of text, Yan Shizhang didn't dare to be careless.

Such literati and doctors have some research on gold and stone, and although Yan Shizhang is not a master among them, he is also a little attained.

He carefully pondered the dozens of turtle plates, and said to Hu Chuyuan: "Owner, I'm not sure that these carvings are also words, but I'm afraid it's ** not far from ten, you allow me to take these keels back and ponder them for a few more days." If there are other similar keels in the medicine shop, they should all be brought first, and the more materials there are, the easier it will be to study. ”

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, but don't just worry about these things, write the recommendation letter first!" ”

Yan Shizhang said with a smile: "The manuscript has been typed, and it will be written immediately!" ”

The voice did not fall .......

The chief housekeeper Wang Baotian hurriedly walked in, and when he saw Hu Chuyuan, he asked: "The owner, Lord Cao Jingwen, the prefect of Hangzhou, is here to visit you!" ”

Hu Chuyuan asked, "Oh, what about people? ”

Wang Baotian said: "It's already in, hurry up and go out to greet you!" ”

Hu Chuyuan nodded, and walked out of the middle hall, as soon as he arrived at the door of the middle hall, a tall and fat official, about forty years old, wearing a five-grade official uniform, walked forward with great grace, and arched his hand with him: "Captain Hu, how are you doing lately?" ”

The person who came was Cao Jingwen, the prefect of Hangzhou, who had been here when Hu Xueyan was mourning.

According to the etiquette of the Qing court, even if Hu Chuyuan is rich, he has to kneel down to meet such a person, but now it is different, Hu Chuyuan has the position of cloud cavalry captain of the fifth grade.

Hu Chuyuan just arched his hand and said: "Thanks to Lord Cao's Hongfu, I'm doing well, I don't know what Lord Cao is doing when he comes to the mansion?" ”

Cao Jingwen laughed and said, "Captain Hu, don't you invite me in to sit and talk!" ”

Oh yes.

What do you mean?

Come up and give the next horse?

Although Cao Jingwen's smile was bright, the sentence he could say was not polite, it stands to reason that he should have said, "It's not a big deal, just come to catch up", Hu Chuyuan can say "Then Lord Cao, please sit in the house", Cao Jingwen just preemptively said a sentence, obviously blaming Hu Chuyuan for not inviting him in.
