Chapter Seventy-One: Marriage
And that kind of soap, although it can be bought on the market now, but the price is really not low, even an official eunuch like him does not dare to buy and use it in large quantities, and Gao Huaiyuan brought a box last time he came back, and this time he actually brought back two large boxes at once, which is enough for his family to use for a year! How much does it cost?
Look at this sword that Gao Huaiyuan made for him, although it looks simple and unpretentious, it is just a copper handle, wrapped in a leather rope and non-slip, it is still a copper sword, and the scabbard wrapped in deerskin is wrapped in sandalwood, but after pulling out the scabbard, Gao Jian found that the sword is by no means from the hands of ordinary craftsmen, the sword body is cold and shining, and it is covered with fish scales-like texture, it is definitely a good sword, although he is a civil official, but he will also dance a little sword kung fu, and he likes to dance with swordsmanship on weekdays, in order to strengthen his body, Unexpectedly, Gao Huaiyuan still remembered this incident, and actually asked someone to create this sword for him, how not to make him happy!
What amazed him even more was the set of glazed tea sets that Gao Huaiyuan gave him, the transparent glazed tea bowl was as crystal clear as jade, such a thing he had only seen in a store called Jubao Zhai when he was in Lin'an before, and after asking the price, even he was a little smacked, a vase would cost hundreds of dollars, and Gao Huaiyuan gave him this set of tea sets, the quality far exceeded that of the glass vase, and the value was more than a thousand!
Gao Jian was more and more shocked the more he looked at it, and then he couldn't help but feel a little trembling in his hands, grabbed Gao Huaiyuan's wrist, pulled him into the study, closed the door, and asked Gao Huaiyuan sternly: "San Lang!" Tell me the truth, have you ever relied on your ability to do anything to rob the house and fail to do it? You are not allowed to hide it from your father, you must know that your father is always walking around the market, and I know the price of these things you give to your father! This trip you came back and brought these things, at least worth more than a thousand yuan, is your money for nothing? ”
After Gao Huaiyuan paused for a while, he suddenly remembered that it was not easy to explain, these things seemed to him, it could be said that they were nothing, but he ignored the value of these things in the market, soap is okay to say, two boxes of soap are worth a hundred and ten dollars at most, but the value of this glass tea set and the glass mirror is a little shocking, no wonder Gao Jianhui is suddenly so nervous, it turns out that he misunderstood himself, thinking that he relied on his kung fu to do the business of robbing houses and houses, These things were snatched or stolen from rich people, and after thinking about this, Gao Huaiyuan was really a little crying and laughing.
"This! …… This ......" Gao Huaiyuan stammered a little, and he really didn't know how to answer for a while.
"You...... You rebel! You...... Have you really done those unfounded deals? I...... I...... How could I have a rebel like you? You're really ...... Is...... You get on my knees! I...... I ......" Gao Jian looked at Gao Huaiyuan's expression and misunderstood Gao Huaiyuan, thinking that if he was really unfortunate to expect, Gao Huaiyuan must have done illegal business, at least these things came from the wrong way, and they were not bought with money! For a while, he was so angry and bloody, and he almost fainted, why was he so unlucky, and the sons he gave birth to were worse than the other, and now even the third son he valued was a thief! So Gao Jian scolded angrily, and turned his head to not know what to touch, looking at the posture to punish Gao Huaiyuan.
Gao Huaiyuan really couldn't cry or laugh, this misunderstanding seems to be really big! Looking at Gao Jian's face flushed with anger, and then looking at his angry appearance, he was really afraid that Gao Jian would not be able to bear it, so he quickly knelt down, took Gao Jian's hand and whispered: "Daddy, stop being angry!" Let's listen to Saburo explain to you! Although the child is not talented, he has never done anything harmful! I won't do anything about robbing houses! Daddy, listen to the child's explanation! ”
Gao Jianzheng was dizzy, and when he heard Gao Huaiyuan say this, he forcibly pressed the anger in his heart, pointed at Gao Huaiyuan and said tremblingly: "Okay! Since you want to say it! Then tell me where you got these things! ”
Gao Huaiyuan, this sweat! He was kind enough to please his father, but he didn't want to expose himself, and now it seems that some of his secrets can't be hidden!
"Daddy's anger! Things are not what Daddy thinks, these things come from absolutely clean! Not to mention the soap, it is now available on the market, as for this glass mirror and glass tea set, don't hide it from Daddy! This is the child inadvertently, the creation of utensils, the child is also relying on this kind of thing, to earn some family wealth, this time back, specially selected two, specially given to the father, just want to please the father! I didn't think about it, but my father misunderstood! Gao Huaiyuan had to hide and tell some truths.
After Gao Jian heard this, he was even more surprised, he didn't expect Gao Huaiyuan to say that this kind of glazed ware was something he created, is this kid really his own stupid boy Saburo? How could he possibly come up with such a beautiful thing?
"Did you say you created this glassware?" Gao Jian took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and asked Gao Huaiyuan.
Gao Huaiyuan looked at Gao Jian's suspicion, so he replied: "Exactly!" Don't hide it from Daddy, this thing is made by children! ”
Gao Jian saw that Gao Huaiyuan's face was fearless and replied sincerely, so he continued to ask suspiciously: "Then tell me, how did you create such objects?" ”
After thinking about it slightly in Gao Huaiyuan's heart, he said in his heart that this is really not easy to answer, he can't tell his father, saying that he is a human being in two lives, and his previous life was once crossed over in the next life! So he started talking nonsense: "This matter has to start with the small porcelain kiln in our old house!" After the child took over the old house, he saw that the porcelain kiln basically had no money to make, so he wondered if he could think of a way to make the porcelain kiln more profitable, so the child was tinkering in the porcelain kiln when he had nothing to do.
But the child doesn't know how to burn porcelain, all day long blindly firing things, once mixing some things together, put them in the kiln to fire, and the result is not to control the temperature of the kiln, when later out of the kiln, found that some things have not been seen, and these things seem to have been burned, into a transparent glass, and then tried to fire many times, and finally got out of this glassware, gradually began to make some things, and then sold out, gradually groping, only began to have these things, Now the child is also a little rich person, this time I haven't seen my father for two years, so I found a way to make two of these things, wanting to please my father, but I didn't expect my father to misunderstand! ”
Gao Huaiyuan opened the river with nonsense, but he really deceived Gao Jian, Gao Jian is actually a beloved son, and he doesn't want his son to be a thief who is a traitor, after listening to Gao Huaiyuan's explanation, subconsciously, he immediately chose to believe Gao Huaiyuan's explanation, so he was relieved.
After Gao Jian listened to Gao Huaiyuan's explanation, he looked at Gao Huaiyuan's face and looked a little aggrieved, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and said goodbye to San Lang who was stupid before, but as the saying goes, stupid people have stupid blessings, he has nothing to tinker with porcelain kilns, and he can actually make such a magical thing, it seems that this is also God's mercy on his life experience! So he stepped forward and quickly pulled Gao Huaiyuan up, made Gao Huaiyuan sit opposite him, sighed and said: "It seems that my father misunderstood San Lang you, as long as these things are not robbed by you, then my father will rest assured!" You can know filial piety so well, and you are very relieved for your father!
Since you say that you have made this object, then it is better for the Father to take it, and it is better to save it in the future, so that you can save it in case you need it, and don't spend it like this again! Your heart is received by your father, but in the future, you must remember that it is okay to get rich, but you must take it in a proper way, and you must not rely on brute force to be a traitor! Otherwise, even if your father is an official of the imperial court, he won't be able to protect you!
And you don't have to do this kind of thing in person in the future, find a trustworthy subordinate to do it for you, after all, business is not a long-term solution, even if a businessman is rich, he is not respected by the world! It is the right way to enter the official career!
But I also want to remind you, since you know this kind of craft now, don't remember that you can't leak the recipe, otherwise, this kind of thing will plummet in value, and it will be difficult to make money! ”
Gao Jian began to tell Gao Huaiyuan as he spoke, he can be regarded as an understanding person, knowing the importance of trade secrets for businessmen, and telling Gao Huaiyuan not to spread the formula and production method of this kind of glazed ware, otherwise there will be no money to make.
Gao Huaiyuan nodded again and again, thanking Gao Jian for his teachings, although his face was positive, but he secretly smiled in his heart, where did Gao Jian explain this! He already had his own arrangements, otherwise, he wouldn't have made so much money in the past two years, so that his strength increased so quickly!
"I see that these Zhuang Ding you accompanied are also kung fu people! It looks very good, understands the rules very well, and is quite a bit of a soldier! After Gao Jian skipped this matter, he brought the topic to Li Ruohu and others who came back with Gao Huaiyuan, he was also a clear-eyed person, and he could see at a glance that Li Ruohu and others were people with kung fu, and they were very imposing in their gestures, and they seemed to have been trained on the battlefield.
"Daddy is so well-informed! These Zhuang Ding, they are all Zhuang Ding who accompanied me on the expedition, they have seen some of the market, and they are loyal to the children, thanks to them on this road, otherwise they would not have arrived here so smoothly! Now the world is really unstable, and there are really a lot of thieves who cut the path! We encountered several waves of thieves, but we eventually drove them back! Gao Huaiyuan didn't hide it from Gao Jian, and then replied.
"Troubled times! Now that the two countries of Song and Jin are at war non-stop, there will be some strongmen in the south world, and it is normal that the road is not peaceful! If you go back to Daye this time, you can go back by water, after all, the waterway is safer! Gao Jian nodded and sighed.
At this time, the next person came to inform Gao Jian, saying that the wine and food had been prepared, and invited Gao Jian and Gao Huaiyuan to the table, Gao Jian then pulled Gao Huaiyuan to the side hall to eat, Gao Huaiyuan asked Li Ruohu to take a small jar of wine from the car and put it on the table.
"Today I specially prepared for you our good wine in Shaoxing, you and I father and son have a good drink, now you have grown up, a man can't do it without drinking! There is no good wine over there in Daye, so let's drink Shaoxing's bar today! Gao Jian was very interested, and he also brought a jar of wine and said to Gao Huaiyuan.
At this family banquet, Gao Jian knew that Gao Huaiyuan and the people in his family were not on the right path, so he didn't let others come over to accompany him, only Gao Huaiyuan and him, so it was more convenient to talk.
Gao Huaiyuan smiled and slapped the small wine jar, and a strong aroma of wine suddenly spread to all corners of the room, Gao Jian was still saying that Daye had no good wine just now, but as soon as he smelled this wine aroma, he immediately wrinkled his nose, sniffed two sips hard, and exclaimed: "What kind of wine is this?" Why does it smell so good? Wine! Good wine! ”
Gao Jian was mixed in the officialdom, drinking the best wine all day long, he was an absolutely knowledgeable person, and he was immediately attracted by this rich aroma of wine, reached out and took the small wine jar from Gao Huaiyuan's hand, leaned under his nose and sniffed a few more times.
"This is the child dedicated to filial piety to the father, this wine is called the fairy drunk, is a unique wine called the drunken fairy building, there is no other wine on the market at the moment can be out of it, this wine is mellow, sweet and abnormal, and extremely hot, and this jar of wine is still the head of the wine, it is even rare! Can Daddy taste it and see how it tastes? Gao Huaiyuan was a little proud, he made such a fine wine by mistake, how can it be regarded as a good gift!
After Gao Jian heard this, his brows jumped, and his smile opened: "Immortal drunk!" I've heard of that! The day before yesterday, when the prefect had nothing to talk about, he mentioned this wine, saying that a friend had brought him a small pot of this wine from Ezhou, and the taste was so sweet, but it was too little, so we couldn't taste it together, but I didn't expect you to send it to me today! Ha ha! I'm going to have a taste of this! ”
After saying that, he quickly poured himself a large cup and brought it to his mouth, and when Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly wanted to drink it slowly, Gao Jian couldn't bear to tilt his neck and poured a large cup into his mouth.
As a result, Gao Huaiyuan saw that Gao Jian's face suddenly changed, and his eyes seemed to have a tendency to get angry out of his sockets, and it took a long time to hear him grunt, swallow the wine, and then open his mouth and said, "Ha...... Ha...... Oh, my God! This wine is so violent! I almost choked the old man! Ahem...... Wine...... Ahem......"
Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly stepped forward to beat Gao Jian's back, Gao Jian took a long time to recover his strength, and said with palpitations: "This wine is so sweet, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!" If I'm not careful, I drink it as ordinary wine, no wonder I get choked! What a wine! This wine should only be in the sky, and it is difficult to smell it in the world! ”
Gao Huaiyuan sat down again, poured a full glass of wine for Gao Jian, and said with a smile: "If Daddy wants to drink in the future, the child will often find a way to be sent some by Daddy, but this kind of wine can't be drunk like other wines, it will hurt the body, and it has a lot of stamina. This time, the child brought a few jars to Daddy along the way, which was enough for Daddy to drink alone for some time! ”
Gao Jian didn't know the rarity of this wine, nodded and said, "Yes, San Lang is a filial son!" I am very relieved that you can think of your father and me! Come on, come on, let's drink! This is the bad duck that I specially ordered someone to prepare for you, how it tastes! ”
Talking about the two of them, they ate and drank with laughter, Gao Huaiyuan enjoyed this scene very much, in this world, he really experienced the strong fatherly love passed from Gao Jian for the first time, all the time, he felt that in this world, except for friends, there was no family affection at all, but after a few years passed, Gao Jian finally showed his care for himself, this kind of fatherly love is hard to find for people like him, so he enjoyed this time very much, I don't think I came back in vain this time.
After a few glasses of wine, Gao Jian was a little drunk, holding the wine glass and saying: "It seems that what you said is true, this kind of wine is indeed full of stamina, and it can't be drunk like other wines, after drinking this kind of wine, drinking other wine is really like chewing wax, it seems that the old man wants to drink this kind of wine in the future, and it really depends on you to honor me!"
San Lang is already sixteen this year! I remember that you were born in March, and my father is incompetent! I haven't celebrated your birthday yet!
But at your age, it should be the age of marriage, this time before you come back, your father found a woman for you, ready to match you as a wife, this time you come back, take advantage of the New Year, first set this matter, and wait until next year after your affairs are done, I will marry you, and you can take care of it later! ”
Gao Huaiyuan was still happy and accompanied Gao Jian to drink, but after listening to Gao Jian's words, he stood up as if he had poured a basin of cold water on his head.
"Don't ......! Father! How can a child marry a young child who has not achieved anything now? Thank you daddy for your kindness, this matter is for the sake of children, so let's put it aside for the time being! Gao Huaiyuan immediately spoke out against it.
Gao Jian raised his eyelids and looked at Gao Huaiyuan, but laughed: "San Lang, you see that you are now half a head taller than my father and me, at your age, there are many people who marry wives and have children, not to mention that the person my father is looking for for you this time is also a woman from a big family, knowledgeable and reasonable, very sensible, this year is exactly sixteen years old, and your birthday is very compatible, her grandfather was an important minister in the court, and the family background is quite good, if you marry her, it will be of great benefit to your future career, Such a good thing can't be found by others, and it is also your blessing that they can agree to your father's proposal, so why should you refuse? ”
