Zixi only entered the house when he was about to unite, and when he entered the door, he looked happy, and when he saw that Fu Fu was there, he asked hello, and knew what Mrs. Fu wanted to ask, so he said first: "Mother-in-law, the saint didn't mention the matter of my father-in-law today, and kept asking me about my experience in the past two years, and I can't find a chance to interject, wait for next time." ”

When Mrs. Fu heard this, she had no choice but to say: "Then wait for next time, son-in-law must worry more, the only thing I can point to is you."

Please also ask your son-in-law to take it to heart. ”

Zixi didn't like this, and said: "Mother-in-law, I didn't take it to heart, it's just that today is the first time the monarch and the ministers have met, and the emperor asked with great interest what he has seen and heard in the past two years, where can I sweep the emperor's interest?" ”

Fu Shi listened to it on the side, and also persuaded Mrs. Fu: "Mother, don't worry, Xianggong knows in his heart, he has to find a suitable opportunity, otherwise, it is better not to speak." ”

Hearing this, Fu Shi was still reasonable, Zixi eased up a little, and said: "I know that my mother-in-law is also concerned about chaos, I will find a good opportunity to explore the emperor's tone." ”

At this time, Liu sent someone to say that today at her house, Zixi and Lin Kangping would wash the wind and dust, and let everyone pass. Zixi heard that Ziqing had returned from the village, changed her clothes, and came over with Fu, and Mrs. Fu went home by herself.

Ziqing saw Zixi, looked at it for a while, and said: "Sure enough, I am mature and stable, but I have lost a lot of weight, and I look more and more delicate, as if I am two years younger." ”

Zixi heard this and said bitterly: "Sister, don't you know, what do these Westerners eat, where can we eat?" I don't like pasta in the first place, so where can I eat that bread? There is no stir-frying, cooking indiscriminately, these two years, but I am really bitter, you don't know, as soon as I entered the house yesterday, the first thing was that Yang Niang cooked me a meal, but it broke me. ”

"You must be too picky, I think my brother-in-law is okay, but he hasn't seen much thinness?" Liu said with a smile.

"I can't compare with my brother-in-law, in addition to being homesick, he is also adaptable, people can do it anywhere, this trip, he also did a lot of private things, talked about several businesses. I found out that my brother-in-law is really a genius in business, and he has a good eye for people, and his subordinates are one by one, and there is no waste material. Zixi smiled.

Lin Kangping smiled when he heard this: "Don't say that you are hypocritical, what conditions does this person say, what does not have it, you can't let the family change it." ”

"Don't talk about this, I'm more curious, where do you see that Kangping is a genius in business, what kind of business Kangping has done, let's hear it." Zifu asked.

This, Zixi glanced at Kang Ping, and saw that Kang Ping had no objection, so he said: "What does my brother-in-law admire the most, do you know?" He bought all the embroideries from several famous embroidery workshops in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the large ones, which did not occupy a place, and went abroad, because we had a long time in Great Britain, my brother-in-law found a few good carpenters from the local area, bought some good wood, according to the size of these large embroideries, or large screens, or kang screens, or pendants, etc., all of them were matched, and then asked foreigners to help him hold an auction, my good boy, you know the largest embroidery, my brother-in-law bought it for five hundred taels of silver, Even the wooden screen is only six hundred taels of silver, how much silver did my brother-in-law sell, guess what? Guess the prize. ”

"A thousand." Liu asked.

"One thousand must be more than one, the fourth brother is surprised, the price must be high, I guess five thousand taels." Chan said.

"No, five thousand taels, it's too dark, I guess three thousand taels." This is Young.

Next, there are those who guessed 2,000, 3,000, and 5,000, and the highest guessed 8,000, which was Zifu.

Zixi looked at Ziqing and asked, "Sister, did my brother-in-law tell you?" ”

Ziqing shook her head and said, "How big is that embroidery first?" I'll guess one more number. ”

"Double-sided embroidery, the embroidered surface is Zhang Zeduan's "Qingming Riverside Map"" Zixi said.

As soon as Ziqing heard this, she said, "It should be able to sell for at least 20,000 taels of silver." ”

"Sister, you are really a family, you haven't guessed for sure, brother-in-law sold 30,000 taels of silver, 30,000 taels? It's just a flip that is enough for our lifetime expenses. There is also a sixteen-open folding screen, which was sold for 28,000, this trip, my brother-in-law really didn't go in vain, just these embroideries, it's enough for my brother-in-law to eat for a lifetime, right? Only then did I know how much silver this foreigner could earn from the embroidery he bought back from us? ”

"And what about the silk and embroidery you brought?" Ziqing asked.

"Naturally, we also learned from my brother-in-law, and we went to several cities and countries before we sold out, and this time, we also earned two million taels of silver, but they were all replaced with guns and machines, and we brought them back early." Zixi said.

While talking, Chun Tao said that the meal was ready, and everyone sat down.

At the men's table, Zifu asked Lin Kangping: "Brother-in-law has done a few businesses this time, the saint won't be angry with you, right?" Will it be similar to the Fu family and the Qin family? ”

Zixi said: "This shouldn't be, remember that the fastest and latest text version update brother-in-law is something purchased in Jiangnan, and our things are purchased early." Also, this embroidery can be sold at these prices, all thanks to my brother-in-law's Fa Sheng, who already knows it, and the reward is almost the same. This nature is different, it needs to be the state, and it is also needed by the country, and it is gone when it is used up. As long as there are people in this embroidery, they can have it, and we finally raised our eyebrows, and we earned a lot of money from Westerners

Zeng Ruixiang listened and said: "The tree is a big wind, but I'm afraid that the capital should spread all over the city." It's better for Kangping to stop for two years, and then do something when the rumors have passed. ”

Zi Ji smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, how much of my stuff has been sold?" I can count on this adopted son! ”

It turned out that Zi Ji and Zi Lu brought a lot of carvings and text panels around them to Torin Kangping, and wanted to see if they could be more popular than in China, which could be regarded as testing the waters, right?

"Don't worry, it's all sold, only a little more, yours is more than four hundred taels of silver, and the second brother's text panel is sold for five hundred taels of silver." Lin Kangping said casually.

"I didn't expect my brother-in-law's memory to be so good, so he came as soon as he opened his mouth." Xia Ganyong said with a smile.

"I've been keeping accounts all these years, if you can't remember this, isn't it just waiting to be fooled?" Lin Kangping said with a smile.

At the women's table here, Liu said with a smile: "Good sister, good Qing'er, your eldest niece should be out of the cabinet in three months, shouldn't you add something?" ”

Ziqing pulled her sleeves and shook her hands when she heard this, and Chen smiled when she saw it: "My sister doesn't speak, what are you doing with shaking your hands?" ”

"I looked at goosebumps and shivered. Sister-in-law's words are too unacceptable. Ziqing said with a smile.

The people at the table laughed, and when Liu saw it, he slapped his chopsticks, puffed out his cheeks and said, "Ziqing, your niece is going to leave the cabinet, you can do what you should prepare." That's how I should talk? ”

After Liu finished speaking, he couldn't hold back his laughter, and everyone laughed even more when they saw it, some fell upside down, some were lying on the table, some were lying on the chair, and finally even Zifu and they were all alarmed, ran over, and asked, "What are you doing so happy?" ”

Ziqing covered her stomach and smiled: "Big brother, you're here." My sister-in-law bullied me! ”

"You can still laugh like this when you bully you?" Zifu was puzzled.

"Really, sister-in-law asked Ziqing to add makeup to Yonglian! The sister-in-law pulled her sister and said good things, but Ziqing didn't do it. Chen smiled.

"Sister, tell my eldest brother, what have you prepared?" Zifu asked with a smile.

"Big brother, don't bring this. I prepared a pair of embroidery for Yonglian, I have been embroidering for more than a year, I didn't hear Xiaosi say that it can be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver, this is not enough? Ziqing said with a smile.

"Ah, my sister gave me one when I got married, why don't I sell it when my brother-in-law goes to a Western country, and I only need 10,000 taels of silver." Chen laughed.

The Chen family said this, and the Liu family responded one after another, because when they got married, Ziqing gave each family a piece, 10,000 taels of silver, who wouldn't exchange it?

Ziqing stood up when she heard this, patted the table and said, "I have no conscience, isn't my affection for you as good as the 10,000 taels of silver?" No one thought about keeping it as a souvenir, so why should I feel embarrassed? ”

"Virtue, you are by our side, can we give us one each? The smaller ones are also successful, and I will definitely keep them as a souvenir. Liu smiled.

"Cheng, for the sake of my sister-in-law's sincerity, the family will give a handkerchief." Ziqing sat down after speaking.

Liu walked up to Ziqing, pressed Ziqing, tickled Ziqing, Shen smiled and said: "Qing'er, you follow them, look at them one by one, it's easy to open your mouth back, give more than one family, give two handkerchiefs." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to my mother, give me two handkerchiefs, and still don't let me go?" Ziqing couldn't hold it anymore and quickly begged for mercy.

At this time, there was a commotion outside, it turned out that the decree was coming, and after the next day at noon, Lin Kangping entered the palace with his son.

"The emperor wants to see his brother-in-law, brother-in-law think about it tonight, what do you want to say tomorrow, and I will go to you later, and make a fold together. Today, the saint also explained a few things to me, and the eldest brother will go there in a while and come up with some ideas. Zixi said.

After eating, Zixi and a few people entered the study of Zifu's family, and Ziqing still accompanied Shen to laugh.

At this time, Mrs. Xia also came in, today's Zeng family's family banquet, it was easy for the family to reunite, so she was not embarrassed to come over to disturb, this will be estimated to be almost, so she looked for it, and wanted to hear what good things happened to the Zeng family?

As soon as Mrs. Xia entered the door, she smiled and said, "It's so hot, I heard the laughter here from afar, I couldn't help it, and I came to join in the fun." By the way, Mrs. in-law, tomorrow I will set up a few tables of wine at my house to catch the wind for Ziyu and her brother-in-law and fourth brother, so that my family will also lot lots and add some popularity. ”

Chen Shi smiled after hearing this: "Mrs. Xia, it's time for my house tomorrow, I have already said it, and the day after tomorrow it should be my sister's house, and we will come in turn." ”

Mrs. Xia looked at the Shen family and said, "Mrs. in-law sent a message, we haven't sat together for a few days, why don't you let them push back for two days?" ”
