The Damascus scimitar that Pang Gang now gave to the Kong family as an engagement gift was not the one that was knocked away by the dead ghost Qianhu He Zhengnan, because Pang Gang disliked the knife and was used by He Zhengnan more unlucky, so he cashed out this unique Shescher scimitar of the Post Dynasty, and the Shescher scimitar is also a kind of Damascus scimitar, because its decoration is more beautiful, and the handle is also inlaid with gems that are unusually gorgeous, of course, the price is also the most "expensive", and it cost Pang Gang fifty catties of pig iron.

Now when he heard that this knife was worth ten thousand gold, he couldn't help but start to think crookedly, and this guy couldn't help asking: "Father-in-law, since this knife is so valuable, wouldn't it be profitable for us to get a few and sell it." ”

Kong Wen smiled when he heard it, "Hehe, you don't know anything about the virtuous son-in-law, this kind of knife is made by a famous craftsman at a glance, where did it come from, not to mention that it is rare and expensive, if it is more expensive, the price will naturally come down." ”

Kong Wen's words woke up Pang Gang, who had the dream of making a fortune, "Yes, if dozens of identical Damascus scimitars appear on the market at the same time, the price will naturally drop, and it is not like those weapons and armor used by soldiers can be mass-produced, if there are a large number of scimitars that are exactly the same as this knife on the market, not to mention anything else, even the cheap old man in front of him will definitely be suspicious." ”

Just when Pang Gang, whose dream of making a fortune was shattered, was full of frustration, Kong Wen also took out a simple jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Pang Gang and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, this jade pendant is a jade pendant from the Qin and Han dynasties that the old man inadvertently obtained when he was young, and the old man has been wearing it for more than 20 years, now I will give it to you as a plaything." ”

Pang Gang took the jade pendant with both hands, and found that this jade pendant was unicorn-shaped and green, without a trace of variegation in it, and looked warm and delicate.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for your kindness." Pang Gang did not refuse, but took it and thanked Kong Wen again.

After the two sides exchanged tokens, the family affair was settled, but the relationship between the two parties was different after the family affair was decided. Kong Wen was not polite, and asked bluntly: "Virtuous son-in-law, now that we are already a family, the old man will not be polite to you." Due to the slump in business now, the old man wants to transfer part of the industry to Qingzhou, do you think it's okay? ”

Pang Gang thought for a while and replied: "Father-in-law, Qingzhou may not be peaceful now, if you don't have an assistant in Qingzhou Mansion, I'm afraid it will be difficult, and my son-in-law has a business here, I don't know if you are interested." ”

"Oh, what business does the virtuous son-in-law have, you might as well tell me about it." Kong Wen asked with great interest.

"That's the case, the son-in-law opened a cement factory in Wanghaibao, what about cement" Pang Gang said the idea of the cement factory, Kong Wen couldn't help but marvel when he heard it, "The virtuous son-in-law actually studied such a wonderful thing, it is really impossible for the capable, if the cement factory is completed, it is bound to be a big sale, which can be described as a million profits." Virtuous son-in-law, do you really want to get a piece of the pie with the old man? ”

"Of course!" Pang Gang nodded affirmatively, "Since the son-in-law said it, he naturally wants to let everyone make money together." ”

"Hahaha, the old man didn't pick the wrong son-in-law, come to the old man to toast you!"

"Drink!" The two of them made a wine in the hall.

It is said that not long after Kong Ruolan ran back to her boudoir, soon her personal maid Ling'er and several maids from the inner courtyard ran in and grinned, "Congratulations, Miss Hexi, the slaves and maids have congratulated you!" ”

At this time, Kong Ruolan, who was ashamed and angry, stomped her little foot and said, "What are you happy about, Miss Ben hasn't agreed to this family affair yet." ”

Ling'er chuckled: "Hehe, even if Miss doesn't agree now, she will definitely agree." ”

"Yes, although our uncle is not too handsome, he is not bad, not to mention that he is also a majestic talent."

The maids were beating drums on the side, joking about their own young lady.

Kong Ruolan was in a state of confusion at this time, any young lady who didn't even receive any news in advance, but was suddenly told that she already had a fiancé, I am afraid that her heart will be in turmoil.

Every young girl with a spring has a small dream buried in her heart, this dream has both the imagination of her future husband and the vision of her future life, Kong Ruolan is no exception, but today when this dream is about to become a reality, she is a little scared, the girl's heart is always so elusive.

Just when Kong Ruolan was in turmoil, after the banquet was over, Pang Gang returned to the guest room to rest, he sat at the table and drank a few cups of tea before quietly thinking about today's events. Today's events are a bit sudden, which caught Pang Gang a little off guard, and there is an extra daughter-in-law for no reason, and he has to think carefully about who this matter is on his head.

Pang Gang knows very well that there is no love for no reason in this world, and Old Man Kong will never marry such a flowery girl to himself because of his "Wang Ba's spirit", this must be due to interests, or he needs to rely on himself in Qingzhou. Pang Gang saw these things very clearly, but he didn't care, people gave such a delicate yellow flower girl who was finally raised to himself, if there is no place to need himself, he doesn't even believe in ghosts, but what does it matter, since he wants someone else's daughter, he has to pay something.

In the study room in another place, the father and son of the Kong family were talking about today's events.

"Lin'er, you must be very strange why your father would marry Ruolan Xu to Pang Gang in such a hurry."

"Yes, Daddy, the child doesn't understand very much, although Pang Gang said that he helped the child, but our family also gave him real money and helped him prepare food, which can be regarded as repaying his favor, why do you still want to marry his sister to him. You must know that he is a military household, and his hundred households are not hereditary, won't the girl suffer after marrying? ”

"Confused!" Kong Wen reprimanded and snorted coldly before saying: "Our Kong family's current form in Yangzhou is very bad, and the Sun family is relying on their power in Yangzhou officialdom to suppress us more and more, how can we not leave a backhand?" You also said last time that Wanghaibao is actively tuntian, and it is not too far from Qingzhou, so we want to find a backer to gain a foothold in Qingzhou. But can we, a businessman, find any backers, go to the prefect of Qingzhou? Then we have to get it, the only one we can get now is this one, although his current official position is a little lower, but there may not be no chance of rising in the future, as a father, this is also betting on the future luck of this son-in-law, so you must befriend him these days, understand. ”

"Yes, Daddy, the child understands." Kong Lin lowered his head and said.

After having a marriage contract, he was naturally not an outsider, and the next day the Tiankong family arranged for him to live in the inner house, of course, this move was not very in line with etiquette. If those rotten Confucians see it, some people must say that this is not in line with etiquette and insulting Sven, but Pang Gang and the Kong family are people from later generations, not to mention living in the same compound unmarried, even if they live in the same bed when they are unmarried, it is not uncommon. The Kong family is a family of merchants, and they don't pay so much attention to these men and women, so naturally they don't have so many rules.

Therefore, in this way, Pang Gang had more opportunities to contact the eldest lady of the Kong family
