From the money shop, Fan Ning came to the mansion next to the Feihong Bridge, since leaving the capital to go to Kunzhou, Fan Ning has never been here, this time it has been more than two years, the first day he came back without a key, did not be able to enter the gate.

Today, the door is not locked, and the housekeeper of the Zhu Mansion is cleaning up the mansion with more than 20 servants, and they came early in the morning, and it is almost over.

In fact, there are people who specialize in cleaning in the capital, but they are not cleaning companies, but professional tooth people, find a tooth person who introduces cleaning, they will find a person who specializes in providing cleaning, and agree on a time and place, and that person will take more than a dozen servants to clean the house.

Not only the servant women who are responsible for cleaning, but also the gardeners, grooms, and other tooth people can be found, as long as you are willing to pay, all aspects of life will be arranged for you properly.

Of course, the Zhu Mansion has enough manpower, including servants, gardeners, and grooms, and will not let Fan Ning invite people from outside.

Fan Ning asked the little guy to lead the horse to the side yard to wait, he walked into the gate by himself, in front of him is a wall as high as one zhang two, two zhang wide, which was picked up from the countryside of Fengqiu County, and later knew that it was the masterpiece of Zheng Yanxun, a famous craftsman in the early Song Dynasty.

Bypassing the wall, there is a forest in front of you, in the middle is a stone road one zhang wide, on both sides are thirty plum and peach trees, full of fruit, there is a path in the middle to go into the forest to enjoy the flowers and fruits, two gardeners are pruning branches in the woods.

Through the stone road in the middle, you can see the majestic and exquisite Cuiyun Building at a glance, which was originally called Yonglie Building, which is in line with the taste of the original owner Yang family, but Fan Ning didn't like it, so he named it Cuiyun Building with the name of Cuiyun Stone.

The piece of emerald marble known as the first stone of the capital stands in front of the Cuiyun Tower, the strange stone society composed of a group of powerful people in the capital will select the top ten famous stones every New Year, since the year before, the emerald marble on the Fanning Mansion has ranked first for three consecutive years.

Of course, this is also related to Zhu Yuanfu, who is also a member of the Strange Stone Society, and strongly recommends Cuiyun Peak every year, so that Cuiyun Peak can become the first stone in the capital in name only.

It is also when today's son is more tolerant and kind-hearted, if that Huizong Zhao Ji was in power later, he would have ordered Fan Ning to pay tribute, where would Cuiyun Peak still stand in Fan Ning's mansion.

However, Fan Ning did not find it strange, Cuiyunfeng was the love of Zhou Lan's life, and it was the treasure among the thousands of strange stones in his collection, and it was not surprising that he could win the championship in the capital.

It's a pity that Zhou Lan's two sons prefer money, and they don't know the goods, ten days after Zhou Lan's death, they packaged and sold thousands of strange stones collected by Zhou Lan to Zhu Yuanfu at a price of 100,000 yuan, including Cuiyun Peak.

In Zhu Yuanfu's words, only Cuiyunfeng was transported to the capital for more than 100,000 guan, you know, a ten-acre house in the inner city will cost 100,000 guan, for those who have hundreds of mansions, exchanging a house for this first stone in the capital is definitely a cost-effective deal.

However, how Zhu Pei persuaded his grandfather to give Cuiyun Peak to him, he is still a mystery, you must know that for this piece of Cuiyun Peak, Zhu Yuanfu has been pestering Zhou Ling for ten years, and when Cuiyun Peak finally returned to Zhu Yuanfu, he was extremely excited and drunk.

Fan Ning admired Cuiyunfeng for a moment and was about to go to the backyard, when a member of the Zhu Mansion ran in in a hurry, and when he saw Fan Ning, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank God, the official is really here?" ”

He hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Official, my lord asked me to tell you that the big ship from Pingjiang Mansion has arrived at the dock of Daxiangguo Temple." ”

Although the guy didn't say anything clearly, Fanning knew very well that his parents were here, as were Zhu Pei and his grandfather Zhu Yuanfu.

Fan Ning didn't care if he could see Zhu Pei now, he hurriedly ran to the side yard, saw the little guy sitting on the steps resting, and immediately ordered him: "Take the horse out and go to the dock of Daxiangguo Temple!" ”

The wharf of Daxiangguo Temple is the Bianhe wharf in the north of the strange stone pavilion, which is about five or six miles away from Fanning's mansion, which is not far.

After a short time, Fanning rushed to Shuyuan Street, which was a pain for the little guy who followed him, from the light breeze and drizzle when he came suddenly to the storm when he went, he ran all the way, so tired that he couldn't breathe.

Passing by the Strange Stone Pavilion, Fan Ning turned over and dismounted, walked briskly towards the Strange Stone Pavilion, and just arrived at the door when he heard the voice of his mother Zhang Sanniang.

"Erlang, it seems that this store is much more than last time!"

"Sister-in-law, we bought it next door, and that's what it looks like."

"No wonder it's so wide, by the way, where is A-Ning now?"

"Mother, I'm here!"

Fanning walked into the room quickly, only to see a room of people sitting in the store, in addition to his parents and sister, the third uncle's family also came, and there was also a young woman holding a child, presumably the wife and children of the fourth uncle.

When he returned to his hometown a few days ago, Fan Ning heard his father mention the fourth uncle, who had a great change in personality after a lawsuit, and began to turn back as a prodigal son, and was deeply valued by Zhu Yuanfu, and now serves as the chief treasurer of Zhu's money shop, in charge of Zhu's money shop outside the capital.

In addition to his own family in the room, no one from the Zhu family was seen, it should be Zhu Yuanfeng who took it back, after all, he was preparing to get married, and some rules had to be followed, it was not that Zhu Yuanfeng was unwilling to invite the Fan family to Zhu's mansion.

Fan Ning came in to meet everyone one by one, Zhang Sanniang pulled her son to introduce him to the young woman holding the child, "This is your fourth aunt, also from Wujiang, the child's name is Fan Zheng, the son of your fourth uncle, and your cousin." ”

Fan Ning hurriedly bowed to the fourth aunt Wang, "Little nephew, please say hello to the fourth aunt!" ”

Although Wang's mother's conditions are good, but he is only a rural landlord, he has not seen much of the world, along the way she heard that her husband's nephew is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, not an ordinary person, she was swollen and red, and stammered: "I can't help it, I can't afford this gift!" ”

Zhang Sanniang smiled: "You are an elder, what can you not afford to do." ”

She said to everyone again: "Since A-Ning is here, let's go!" ”

Saying that, five ox carts came outside, but it was the car that Akihito went to find, and everyone got into the car one after another, preparing to go to Fan Ning's mansion, at this time, Fan Tiezhou stepped forward and patted his son on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Grandpa and grandma are old, and they really can't come, your grandma said that her only wish is to hug her great-grandson as soon as possible." ”

Fanning knew that his grandmother was indeed in poor health, but his grandfather was very healthy, and there was no problem with taking the boat, but he had always been relatively indifferent, and he followed his second uncle to Beijing for a month last year, so it was normal not to want to come to his wedding.

Fan Ning smiled, "Grandpa and grandma still take care of their health, nothing else is important to them." ”

"That's right, their longevity is a blessing for us juniors."

Fan Tiezhou also got into an ox cart, but Fan Ning found that there was no luggage, so he hurriedly asked, "Second uncle, where is their luggage?" ”

Fan Tiege said with a smile: "The luggage is still on the boat, there are too many things, I will find a few donkey carts to transport the things later, you can go back first!" Ah Ren, you also go and help Ah Ning. ”

"Got it!"

Akihito and Fanning got on the last ox cart, which headed south of the city.

"Akihito, what did you do with that shipment?" Fanning asked in a low voice in the carriage.

Akihito looked at the coachman, lowered his voice and said to Fan Ning: "That batch of goods Zhu Ji money shop has been eaten, and it has been converted into silver, so count this number." ”

Akihito compared a six with his fingers, which means 600,000 taels of silver, and he said: "The old man gave me three withdrawal vouchers, and Zhu Pei said that she gave you the one and asked you to take it." ”

More than 60,000 taels of gold sand, after removing all kinds of impurities, it is less than 60,000 taels, Zhu Yuanfu calculated 600,000 taels of silver for them, in fact, the difference between gold and silver was counted, and they did not make their money, although the official price was one tael of gold for ten taels of silver, but because gold was relatively scarce, it was difficult to exchange, Zhu Yuanfu also took this into account and raised the exchange price a little.

Mingren took out half a jade pendant and gave it to Fan Ning, "The exchanged silver will be divided equally between the three of us, and with this, you can withdraw the silver from the head office of Pingjiang Mansion, and you can collect it yourself." ”

Thirty percent of the 600,000 was 180,000, and Akihito gave 20,000 more.

Fanning didn't take it, he smiled and said to Akihito, "Have you forgotten what I told you?" I want to invest in the shipyard and wharf to build an ocean-going fleet of the Fan family, even if this money is my investment, and Zhu Pei's third grandfather plans to give Zhu Pei twenty 10,000 stone sea ships as a wedding gift! ”

"I heard you right!" Akihito smiled: "Give your granddaughter twenty sea ships as a wedding gift?" ”

"That's for me, just find a reason, these twenty big ships are also my vote."

Akihito thought for a while and said: "Even if you build a fleet, you don't need to invest all your property in it, there are twenty ships of ten thousand stones, you only need to invest half of the money, count you as a three-part member, go back to Mingli to open a mine in Kunzhou, and I will be in charge of the dock of the shipyard, this is the cause of the three of us brothers." ”

Mingren took out another jade pendant and gave it to Fan Ning, and said in a low voice: "There is 100,000 yuan in it, you can keep it yourself, and you can leave other things alone." ”

Fanning happened to be shy in his pocket, and he was not polite and accepted it.

He said to Akihito again: "On the wedding day, the rich minister is coming, I will say hello to him first, and you can find him when you get there, and there is no problem with the approval of the mining license." ”

Akihito smiled and waved his hand, "There is no need to find a rich minister for this kind of small matter, I am very familiar with the Mining Department of the Imperial Court, the Imperial Court encourages private mining, and the mining license is very easy to handle, so you don't care about this matter." ”

"Then whatever you want, you really can't come to me again."

In fact, there are still some details to discuss, such as the color of the placer gold, the market situation, etc., the main is that there is a coachman in front of the car, these words are not good to say.

Akihito diverted the topic and smiled: "I didn't expect amber wood to be really valuable, I was still worried about what to do with it, but my father asked for it all, the question is when will this money be given to me, I really don't know, my father didn't mention it!" ”

"The main reason is that there are more places to use money in the store, the imperial court controls Tianhuangshi, the second uncle wants to buy a few more Shoushan stone mines, and wants to go to Dengzhou to buy jade mines, the money on the account is relatively tight, I was going to give me a dividend of 30,000 yuan, but in the end I only gave 5,000 taels, don't embarrass your father."

"I'm just talking, who dares to embarrass him! I didn't give me the money for the pearl and coral on consignment last year, didn't I admit it the same? ”

The key is that Akihito already has 200,000 taels of silver in his hand, so he can say that he is so single, if he has no money in his hand, don't give him money to try? has already jumped up, even if it is him, it will not be an exception.
