Chu Huaixian opened the folding fan with a "snap", and asked Zhao Cunzong with a smug face: "Sure enough?" Zhao Cunzong stabilized his smile and saw Chu Huaixian's color in his eyes. Xiao Zhao asked leisurely: "You really want to be in the army, this is your idea?" ”

"No," Chu Huaixian was still proud: "How can I have time to think of such an idea?" Xiao Zhao asked with a smile: "Then what are you proud of?" "It's not your idea.

The folding fan shook lightly, but the eldest prince of Chu smiled silently, and did not answer this sentence. Zhao Cunzong looked at the wooden building of the nearby house, and suddenly became interested: "Huaixian, I want to meet the person who came up with this idea, don't say that I rob people, I want to take him to the army, and have a few more good ideas." ”

Chu Huaixian smiled amiably at him: "No need, this person is not here, and you can't see it." Zhao Cunzong smiled, stretched out his finger and dotted Chu Huaixian, with some reproach: "You, you dare to hide your private interests in this military matter." ”

Zheng Erguan was staring at the cloth pockets and wooden poles of these houses all the time every day, and when he saw Chu Huaixian and Xiao Zhao Wang Ye passing, Erguan had been watching upstairs.

Although looking down from a high distance, Zheng Erguan didn't figure out what this thing was for. Seeing that the two noble sons downstairs were talking and laughing, the second official couldn't wait any longer, with his professional sensitivity, he knew that there was business here, so he quickly picked up his robe, trotted over, and laughed: "Little prince, there are a few good swords upstairs, please take a look at them later." ”

Xiao Zhao Wang Ye agreed casually, Zheng Erguan looked at the cloth pocket propped up on the ground, and asked Chu Huaixian with a smile: "Eldest son, what is this young lady for?" In my opinion, this can't hold water, nor can it be a multi-treasure shelf, here, what to put in? ”

"Young lady?" Zhao Cunzong laughed, pointed at Chu Huaixian and said, "It turns out that you didn't tell me." Chu Huaixian was full of lust leisurely: "The people in the inner house, can they tell you?" Mrs. Sister-in-law and sisters-in-law, I never asked. ”

Zheng Erguan was stunned by laughter, but he didn't understand yet. Waiting for Zhao Cunzong's laughter to stop, he interjected and asked: "Little prince, you must know this thing, I have lived for most of my life, why can't I see it?" ”

"You, old thing, you have a time to wander." Xiao Zhao Wang Ye scolded with a smile, and became interested in the strong and fragrant jasmine/lihua in front of him: "Huaixian, take me to see it." ”

Chu Huaixian led the way, and the folding fan gently waved and pointed in the direction: "Please." ”

These two people went, and the rest of Zheng Erguan thought left and right about this cloth pocket, and they didn't think that it had anything to do with any military quartermaster in the army.

Seeing that the money was being collected, Zheng Erguan stepped forward and said, "Little brother, what is this good for?" Jincai refused to tell him, and replied to Zheng Erguan with a smile: "You, you have to ask our young lady to go." ”

Zheng Erguan was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks at this time, and went back upstairs to sit and make trouble, and there were two businesses that were not done well, and those that should be sold for 1,000 taels were also sold out for 900 taels.

Steward Zhuang sounded strange: "Erguanren, didn't you say that this plum bottle will not be sold if it is not a thousand taels?" Zheng Erguan's mind was in a trance, and he suddenly said that he leaked his mouth: "I have a book of three hundred taels." Steward Zhuang covered his mouth and smiled and went downstairs. No wonder people say that the antique shop will not be on the market for three years, and it will take three years to eat the market.

It's twice the interest in doing business.

Chu Huaixian and Zhao Cunzong had a drink in the garden, and when they saw Zhao Cunzong leave, a clown jumped out of the street. Liu Fool came again, standing downstairs and rushing upstairs to Zheng Erguan and twisting his body to play the clown: "I thought you had a level, but I didn't expect it, it turned out to be ......."

"What's going on?" Chu Huaixian asked sharply. A guy came out and replied: "....... often get sick, I can't do anything, and my luck has been going down, so I pick people's thorns everywhere." If you look at it in vain, you have to come out and make a mistake and say it's not worth it. ”

Chu Huaixian stared at Liu Fool, feeling that such a person was not worthy of meeting him, of course, there was no need to be angry with him. Not being angry and ignoring it are two different things, Chu Huaixian turned around and went upstairs, and said to the guy: "Shut his mouth and let him come to see him come without saying anything." ”

The boring building has just been wronged by officials, and it was originally careful not to cause trouble. Hearing the eldest prince of Chu say this, the guy was full of confidence. A few steps ran over and pressed Liu Fool to the ground, poured a mouthful of horse dung, and scolded while pouring: "Say it again, see you say it again." ”

Zheng Erguan didn't know about this until the afternoon, and of course he liked it when he heard it, so he came over and asked the Zhuang manager: "Is he still coming?" Steward Zhuang looked outside: "Even if you come, you have to change your face to come." Think he can have a few faces, one by one hanging on his face to block the original face? ”

said that he shouted at the guys: "It's better to be in good spirits, and if such a person comes out again, he will be shut up like this." If he doesn't change his face, he can't come out and speak. ”

In the evening, Gong Miao'er came over mysteriously, first looked at Zheng Erguan and the people upstairs, and then sneakily beckoned to the Zhuang steward to come over, and whispered: "Erguanren, if you are going to lose, the young lady will make all the unsellable cloth into a manger, and the army of Xiao Zhao will ask for a high price." ”

"Manger?" Steward Zhuang's eyes widened, and he repeated: "Manger? Gong Miao'er smiled: "Manger! ”

Steward Zhuang let out a long breath: "I can't believe how she came up with this idea." ”

"Who knows her, idea after idea. Let's go, let's ask Zheng Erguan's person in charge for money, this bet is our win. Gong Miao'er looked at the moonlight: "It's early and late, you and I will walk away for a while, the two officials are here, and you can also use one person." ”

The steward of Zhuang got into the car and went to collect the gambling account with Gong Miao'er, and sighed: "I made a bet with the steward because I couldn't give the young lady a defeat." No, she really did. ”

"That's that, and I'm not. I thought she couldn't do it, so Zheng Er, the person in charge, dared to bet with us. To be honest, I thought the money was going down the drain. It's the hard words that should be said after losing, and I also thought about a few words that I didn't accept softly. ”

The two of them giggled and went to collect the money.

When Zheng Erguan found out, it was already the morning of the next day. When he heard this, he rushed downstairs like crazy, put up his cloth pocket, and looked at it seriously. Sure enough, this is a lightweight and easy to retract manger.

This manger is much lighter than the wooden manger used in the army, and it weighs less on the march. Steward Zhuang and Gong Miao'er stood upstairs looking at the jokes with bad eyes.

"Will you cry?"

"Maybe beat your chest."

As I just said, there was a mournful howl downstairs, and Zheng Erguan started again. Something in your own home, this is another piece of waste. In the hands of Mrs. Chu Shao, money was generated again.

Gong Miao'er and Steward Zhuang slipped down to persuade: "Hey, let's open the door to do business, you cry, where are there any guests?" The steward of Zhuang was unhurried, but his voice was low but piercing: "The first emperor has entered the imperial mausoleum, no, if you cry again, no one will see your good son, don't cry, Qingming has passed." ”

The second official was in tears again, and now that he knew the truth, his businessman's eyes suddenly came out: "This cloth pocket, one piece of cloth can make three." A wooden horse trough is sold outside for a few taels of silver, and the military department has to buy it, and the affairs of the official family are expensive, and my horse of cloth has three horse troughs, and there are seven or eight taels of silver, and if it is sold high, there are ten taels of silver. Zheng Erguan cried loudly: "My ten taels of silver is a piece of cloth." ”

He beat his chest.

The early upstairs guest asked the guy, "What's wrong with the old man who sells antiques?" The guy grinned: "He lost money, that's it." This is a business idiot, you can only win and not lose. ”

"No wonder," the guest laughed, "serve the food and wine." National funerals are not allowed to sing tunes, listen to him crying, subdued and frustrated, like a tune. ”

Downstairs, Zheng Erguan continued to cry: "...... Uh, I'm dripping ....... cloth, it's worth a tael or eight...... Uh........ I drip...... Bu Yah,"

I was about to cry into a little tune by him.

"Erguanren, please ask you for a big bowl of shredded meat noodles at noon today, you can't cry anymore, your cloth is good, a big coarse cloth is worth a few hundred dollars?" Gong Miao'er was next to her, and she had to laugh again, but she couldn't help but persuade her.

Zheng Erguan said angrily: "Nonsense! Even a large coarse cloth can be used as a manger, and if the silk satin is light and not strong, it cannot be used as a manger. ”

"Then it's not like you can't sell it. The young lady sold it, this is her means. Steward Zhuang's persuasion added fuel to the fire. Zheng Erguan jumped eight feet high, pointed his fingers and said: "This is me letting her, I take care of her, I am willing to give it to her." If I don't give it and put it in my own warehouse, I won't do it! ”

Gong Miao'er and Steward Zhuang covered their mouths and smiled, and with their other hands, they put Zheng Erguan in a place where the flowers were deep and dense, and threw them down and said, "You can cry hard here, and the guests can't hear clearly." ”

Zheng Erguan shouted to them who were leaving, blinked his eyes and asked, "What is she going to do with the oil paper?" Gong Miao'er and Steward Zhuang said in unison: "I advise you not to give it to her, and don't take care of her, keep it to yourself and think slowly." ”

The oiled paper did not move for three days. Zheng Erguan was in a hurry, so he specially went to the door of the Chu family to invite Mrs. Chu once. Xiao Chu met him in the flower hall, and in the face of Zheng Erguan's inquiry, he said with a smile: "I heard that you want to keep it for yourself, I think, it's inconvenient to mix." ”

Zheng Erguan's popularity was ruined: "You have no way, this paper is all moldy." The rainy season is coming, so you can clean it up. Give it to you, I don't want it, I'll give you all five hundred taels of silver. I lost too much of that cloth, and I heard that you earned a thousand taels, but I only collected fifty taels. ”

The tattered, charred half-sheet of oiled paper, the second official will charge five hundred taels of silver this time. Xiao Chu couldn't help but laugh, and said lightly: "Five taels of silver." ”

"You?? Don't be too black-hearted, you!" Zheng Erguan wanted to jump and stop, Xiao Chu smiled: "Otherwise, I'll go to see it after the rainy season, if it's all rotten, it won't be usable." ”

"Okay, okay," Zheng Erguan could only agree. When he was about to leave, Xiao Chu called out to him again: "I will win again, you can do what you promised me." ”

Zheng Erguan was cunning: "I only promised three times, three times to guide you, and the fourth time, but it doesn't work." Xiao Chu was very refreshing: "Okay, three times!" ”

The next day, Xiao Chu asked people to pull out the cart of oiled paper one by one. It's still hired poor street children, women and mothers-in-law who have nothing to do. Load up all the places where you don't need the oiled paper, and then send it away for people to reprocess.

In this way, when it was shipped back, Zheng Erguan went to see it every day, and a bunch of people were folding cardboard boxes there.

Zheng Erguan knew that there was a mystery this time, and he didn't comment nonsense.

All this pile of cardboard boxes was sent to Zhao Cunzong, and the eldest prince of Chu would also get it, and he opened one for Zhao Cunzong to see: "This is a bowl for eating, the price is not expensive, only half the price of the bowl on the market." This is a new thing to try, and I am afraid that people will not be used to it, so I don't charge too much money. I have tried to use it many times, and I can use it again after using dry water, but there is one that is not good and a little hot. But there is also an added benefit, there is no fire during the rapid march, and this can be used as fire paper. ”

Zhao Cunzong smiled: "Okay, just save military spending." The military department is now more and more critical of us. It's your young lady's idea again, okay, I want it. ”

Xiao Chu's idea of folding boxes sold this batch of shapeless oil paper as rice bowls and soup bowls with fire twists.
