Chapter 323: Catching the Wind and Washing the Dust

Zhao Zhen, the Son of Heaven, rewarded and rewarded Fan Ning, Fan Ning just quit the palace, his debriefing is scheduled to be carried out tomorrow afternoon, the debriefing report has been handed in, and today he will be given a good rest.

Fanning's mount was left in Kunzhou and not brought back, so he could only take an ox cart out of the palace, and he hired an ox cart to return to his mansion in Feihongqiao.

The ox cart walked slowly on the street, and on both sides were the bustling and noisy street markets, the bustling flow of people, and the constant cries of buying, which gave Fanning a sense of seclusion.

The bullock cart was not Fanning alone, but there was another guest, about forty years of age, short and stocky, who looked like a merchant.

As soon as Fan Ning got into the car, he kept looking at Fan Ning, at this time Fan Ning had changed into his regular clothes, wearing the deep clothes made for him by Zhu Pei, wearing a gauze hat, and he was young, with dark skin and thin skin, looking like a young scribe running errands in the yamen.

After walking for a while, the middle-aged man suddenly smiled and asked, "Which department does the little brother work in?" ”

Fan Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm in the secretarial prison." ”

"I don't know if the little brother knows the people from the Xiang Pharmacy."

"I know but I know, but I don't know each other very well, is there something wrong with this big brother?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed and smiled: "I am the proprietor of the Liuyunxiang Pharmacy next to the Daxiangguo Temple, my surname is Liu, can the little brother help me get a few amber woods, and I will give the little brother five yuan for each amber wood." ”

Fanning blinked and laughed, "You mean the 20,000 amber trees shipped from Kunzhou?" ”

"Exactly, I didn't buy the last batch, it's a pity! Be sure to buy a few of this batch. ”

"But how can amber wood be under the control of the Incense Pharmacy?" Fanning asked, puzzled.

"Little brother doesn't know, amber wood is Songming, also called North Agarwood, last time it was auctioned by the Incense Pharmacy, although it is not as valuable as agarwood, but it is also a rare thing, if there is a section of amber wood on the beam at home, the rat and snake in the house are not born, the fragrance lingers for decades, there is no disease and no disaster, if you use it as an ancestral spirit card, you can bless the descendants of the rich and prosperous, the family is prosperous, it is a good thing!"

Fan Ning smiled dumbly, "Proprietor Liu wants to do amber wood business!" ”

"Why don't you want to! To tell the truth, the last auction of amber wood was basically bought by the emperor's relatives, and the average was only 20 yuan a piece, which was too cheap, if it could be sold for at least 100 yuan in the market. ”

"Is it worth that much?"

"Of course it's very valuable, it's sold by the pound in the market, two pounds per catty, and at least fifty pounds for an amber wood, so it won't cost a hundred dollars."

It is no wonder that when the fleet enters the capital, so many timber merchants flock to it, it turns out that there are such high profits here.

Fan Ning thought for a while and said, "Proprietor Liu will give me a name post!" A friend of mine also has a little in his hand, maybe he will sell it to Liu Dongzhu. ”

The middle-aged man was overjoyed, "My name is Liu Feng, and I am the proprietor of the Liuyunxiang Pharmacy in the west of Daxiangguo Temple. ”

Fanning thought that there were more than 300 amber sticks on Akihito's ship, which were originally used to cover up the gold sand, but now found that they could be sold for a high price.

.........

Back at the Feihongqiao mansion, Fan Ning found that the door was locked, but he didn't have the key, so he had to take the ox cart to the strange stone shop to find his second uncle Fan Tiege.

I heard Akihito say before that their strange stone shop had bought the bookstore next door at the beginning of last year, and the store had doubled, and after five years of painstaking operation, the Fan family's strange stone hall has become the largest strange stone museum in Beijing, of course, it is also related to the Tian Huangshi it operates.

With the precipitation of time, the precious quality of Tian Huang stone has become more and more prominent, has become a treasure in the stone, a piece of the best Tian Huang stone can be sold for thousands of dollars, if by Fan Zhe carving, it is a strange commodity to live in.

Fan Ning saw the strange stone pavilion from afar, but now it has been renamed, no longer called the stone breaking heaven strange stone museum, four years ago, Fan Zhongyan felt that the name of "stone breaking the sky" was too hideous, so he renamed the store "Stone Treasure Strange Stone Museum", and inscribed the name of the store.

The Huanlou at the door has doubled in size, the two shops are connected as one, the storefront decoration is wide and simple, it looks very magnificent, and a big sign on it reads the word 'Shizhen', which is the handwriting of his grandfather Fan Zhongyan, and I don't know how he is doing now?

At this time, Fanning suddenly found that there was a wide and gorgeous car parked across the road, which made Fanning stunned, this is the carriage that Juppey was riding!

"A-Ning!"

There was a sudden shout of surprise behind him, and Fan Ning turned around, only to see Zhu Yuanfeng walking out of the store, looking at him with a look of surprise.

"I said how familiar the carriage is, it turns out that the old man is here!"

Zhu Yuanfeng laughed and patted Fan Ning's shoulder, "Why didn't the stinky boy come back to me?" ”

"I just came back in the morning, and I don't even have a place to rest."

"Let's go! I'll take you to lunch. ”

Zhu Yuanfeng couldn't help but say, dragging Fan Ning away, Fan Ning pointed to the store, "Let me say hello to my second uncle first." ”

"Your second uncle is not here, I went to the dock to see Amberwood, and I won't come back until the afternoon."

Hearing that the second uncle was not there, Fan Ning had to get into the carriage with Zhu Yuanfeng, and the carriage drove towards the Zhu Building, which was the closest to here.

"What is my second uncle doing when he goes to see Amberwood?"

Fanning asked a little strangely, "He sells stones, what does it have to do with amber wood?" ”

"Isn't amber a strange stone?" Zhu Yuanfeng asked with a smile.

Fanning was speechless, he had never thought that amber wood was still stone.

"The old man seems to know that I'm back?" Fanning asked with another smile.

"Of course I know, my eldest brother and your parents are already on their way, and I'm planning a wedding for you, do you kid know? Today, I came to your second uncle to discuss this matter. ”

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"What old man, you should call me the third grandfather, right?"

Fan Ning blushed, scratched the back of his neck, and said after a while, Ai Ai said, "Thank you, third grandfather!" ”

Zhu Yuanfeng laughed, "Okay! I'll give you the money to change my mouth, or I'll give you this carriage. ”

Fan Ning remembered something, and hurriedly said: "I also brought a few officials and more than a dozen entourages, they live in the Yingchun Inn next to the Songzhou Gate Wharf, the conditions over there are not very good, can you ask the third grandfather to help settle it." ”

"They can live in the official post, but they don't need to, let them live in the Zhumen Inn, I opened it, and the conditions are more comfortable."

Zhu Yuanfeng immediately said a few words to a servant outside the car window, and the servant agreed, and rode in the direction of Songzhou Gate.

Not long after, the two came to the Zhu Building in the north of the Great Xiangguo Temple, Zhu Yuanfeng took Fan Ning to the third floor of the elegant room, outside the window is the Bianhe River, the boats on the river are endless, which is refreshing.

"A-Ning, this deep coat of yours was cut by Pei'er!" Zhu Yuanfeng asked with a smile.

Fanning's face was hot, "How can the third grandfather see that it is her craftsmanship?" ”

"Of course I know, a few days ago, I went to Pingjiang Mansion, and saw that Apei was busy cutting clothes, and there were dozens of scraps piled up next to him, so I said that this was the most expensive deep coat in the Great Song Dynasty."

Fanning also laughed, "It's really hard for her." ”

"Don't expect her to continue to make clothes for you in the future, just this time, that girl I know very well, any interest is a hammer deal, of course not including you, she has been interested in you for ten years."

Zhu Yuanfeng got such an excellent nephew and son-in-law, and he was in a very good mood.

He poured a cup of tea for Fanning, and asked with a smile, "Have I chosen a place in Kunzhou?" ”

"It's already chosen!"

Fan Ning hurriedly took out a white silk from his arms and spread it on the table, on which was a map of Kunzhou drawn by Fan Ning himself.

Fanning pointed to an island to the north: "This is it, called Suzaku Island, plus the two small islands next to the south, a radius of exactly thirty miles, half of the island is covered by forests, all are red pines, and in the center of the island is a silent volcano, I estimate that there will be silver mines nearby."

In addition, there is a hilly meadow, which can raise more than 1,000 horses and tens of thousands of sheep, and the key is that there are two natural harbors, and they are ice-free ports, which are extremely rare, you must know that there are only two ice-free ports in the whole Kunzhou. ”

Fan Ning Kankan introduced, Zhu Yuanfeng listened very satisfied, and nodded with a smile, "Vermilion Island, this name is in line with our Zhu family, when will you return to Kunzhou?" ”

"About a month later!"

"Then I'll go with you this time."

Fanning was startled, "It's too far, the sea is very bumpy, the third grandfather is old, he can't stand it." ”

"Then you underestimate me too much, I went to Nanyang a few years ago, and I encountered big waves, but I didn't have anything to do."

Fan Ning heard that Zhu Yuanfeng could adapt to the voyage, so he was relieved, he was not tired to take a boat all the way to Kunzhou, but the sea was bumpy, and if he did not adapt to going to sea, it would be very uncomfortable.

At this time, the shopkeeper personally brought the wine and food, Fan Ning poured a glass of wine for Zhu Yuanfeng first, Zhu Yuanfeng raised his glass and smiled: "By the way, I will wash the dust for you today, come!" We had this toast. ”
