Qiao Dongcheng finally asked for three hundred and seventy-five taels of silver, and Su only had one hundred and eighty-five taels in his pocket, as if it was not enough.

Su Bei didn't say how much money he had in his pocket, but just took out the golden knife and asked Qiao Dongcheng to estimate it, and Qiao Dongcheng estimated it at two hundred taels.

And counting the scabbard, the sword weighed ten taels, and ten taels of gold were equal to a hundred taels of silver. There are also seven gems of different colors on the scabbard.

Su Bottle felt that Qiao Dongcheng's valuation was undervalued. But Qiao Dongcheng said that the gems on it were too small, so if you went to a jewelry store to buy them, it would only cost one hundred taels. The valuation I give you is not low.

Obviously, Qiao Dongcheng has to sell cheaply, the seven gems are not small, he goes to the jewelry store, and he may not buy two hundred taels.

But the problem is that now it is used to offset the money, and it cannot be calculated according to the purchase price.

In addition to the cost, the workmanship of this knife is also very exquisite, and it should be made by a master. When it can be estimated, the labor cost cannot be counted.

In fact, Su Bottle was a little unbearable, after all, this was a gift from Concubine Fan to him. In Su Bei's impression, the haggard but still charming Concubine Fan is worth remembering. She is also the only high hall for Su Bottle's wedding with Tang Mei.

But in the face of such a good location and such a good two-story façade building, Su Bottle feels that there is huge room for appreciation. According to the development trend of the house in the Song Dynasty and the current Liang Dynasty, the price of this house can increase more than five times in the future.

Su Bei obtained inside information through Tang Kuan and Tang Mei that An Guogong had begun to fight back against the Sangla people, and he was victorious one after another. It is estimated that the war will end in less than two months.

After opening up the Hexi Corridor, merchants from the Western Regions will come to Luoyang in an endless stream. Since Emperor Bandung ascended the throne, the newly promulgated decrees are conducive to recuperation, and Su Bei believes that the housing prices in the imperial capital will definitely rise.

With this in mind, Su Bottle gritted his teeth and bought the house.

The house had to be transferred, and it cost another thirty-eight taels to pay taxes. Su Bottle's money is not enough, or Mei Dye paid in advance. Now Su Bottle's hand is empty again, and he can't buy anything.

Not only is there no money, but there is also debt. Poke at the weakness of the Su bottle. When others owe him money, he easily forgets; He owes money to others, and he feels bad.

After buying a house, I have to consider tidying up the backyard, and Second Master Qiao also said that he would block the moon gate, and he would use it as a warehouse for the next two trips to the house.

"I don't care about the rest, you let Ye Hanshuang and Lu Sanniang come over and get it. I'm going to work on the case. Su Bottle took out his pocket, and there were dozens of copper plates left.

Leaving Mei Ran in the Chengfeng Teahouse, Su Bottle returned to the Criminal Department alone and looked at the file.

Seeing that Su Bottle was so serious, Xue Shilang was very satisfied. He felt that Su Bottle was a young man who was both civil and military, and extremely self-motivated. What he didn't know was that Su Bottle was unhappy because of his debts, so he was in a hurry to make money.

But there is no conflict between the two, Su Bottle's money, and it is also on the basis of doing things for Xue Shilang.

After half a day, Su Bottle groped out a line from many files, and these people all had some relationship with King Qi. In this way, King Qi is the one who didn't spit when Su Bei tried Huang Bingxuan.

General Jinwu, King of Qi Zhao Changchun, the uncle of Emperor Wanlong. This status is high enough, no wonder Huang Bingxuan didn't dare to spit out.

Presumably, Xue Pang knows these relationships. In this case, why is Xue Pang still biting Huang Bingxuan?

"Could it be that Xue Pang is not targeting Huang Bingxuan, but King Qi?" Su Bottle muttered to himself in his heart.

But King Qi is a great contributor to Emperor Wanlong's accession to the throne, Xue Pang wants to get King Qi, this shouldn't be Xue Pang's own intention, but Emperor Wanlong's meaning?

In other words, it is not uncommon for the emperor to kill heroes. So Su Bei didn't dwell too much, just sat quietly and thought, if the emperor wants to get the king, what should he do and what he shouldn't do.

It suddenly occurred to me that Qiao Dongcheng was a relative of King Qi......

Do business with Qiao Dongcheng by yourself......

This is a mistake.

"It's too late to save now."

Su Bottle had an idea and decided to beat Qiao Dongcheng.

In this way, this intimate contact was not only resolved, but also the boundary with King Qi was drawn.

What is the reason for beating him? This question is not very difficult for the arrest of the Eight Grades of the Criminal Constitutional Division.

……

Zhao Lian, the son of King Qi, sat in the plum garden, looking at the gradually withering plum blossoms, and became sad.

I heard that people go to Anguo Mansion every day to propose marriage, Zhao Lian is even more anxious, he feels that he can't wait like this anymore, but should do something.

asked the little eunuch Wang Shuangxi to go out to assassinate the little white face surnamed Su, and Wang Shuangxi went out all morning without any results. Wang Shuangxi also suggested to Zhao Lian yesterday that it was better to let Chen Gu go directly to kill Su Bottle. But Zhao Lian said, then Chen Gu knows that he is doing something for me, in case he is arrested by Su Bottle, what should he do?

Wang Shuangxi said, this Chen Gu's martial arts are amazingly high, and he should not miss, but Zhao Lian still refused to use this method, but asked Wang Shuangxi to continue to find people in the rivers and lakes to do things.

Just when Zhao Lian was bored, Wang Shuangxi came back at a trot and told Zhao Lian that this time he spent a lot of money to hire a swordsman from Niutou Mountain, who was a disciple of the "Sword God", one of the four great grandmasters, Long Tiangang.

Zhao Lian said: "I don't care who you invite, just tell me when I can do it." ”

Wang Shuangxi said: "Send the letter and come back, it will take half a month." ”

"Half a month?" Zhao Lian said impatiently: "It's been too long, what's the matter, there are no masters in Luoyang City?" ”

Wang Shuangxi was puzzled: "There are some masters, but they are still a little worse than Long Tiangang." And the minions thought that when they attacked again, they should be fatal with one blow, and they couldn't go wrong again. ”

Zhao Lian waved his hand: "Forget it, I have other things to do now." You prepare and bring some gifts. ”

"Uh......, what are you going to do with the little prince?"

"I'm going to go to Merit Street and tell them that they are not allowed to go to the Anguo Mansion to propose marriage, otherwise they will not be able to get along with me Zhao Lian!"

In fact, Zhao Lian is working in vain, and it is meaningless for anyone to propose marriage now.

Tang Kuan had already prepared a four-character plaque of "Lord of Loulan", but Tang Mei never let people change it, and now there is still a plaque of the Governor's Mansion. Why would she do it? As the person who knows her best, Tang Kuan realized: Xiaomei has someone in her heart. It's just that the little sister is too face-saving, she can't chase the man backwards, but forces the man to chase her.

Now in addition to Tang Mei's daily supervision of the three major warehouses, Tang Kuan also arranged a new job for her, or gave her new powers, Tang Kuan actually put the family payment account book in Tang Mei's hands.

In the future, if the female relatives of the family want to pay the money, don't go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to find Tang Kuan, but come to Tang Mei.

To say that Tang Kuan's move is also to hide idle. Otherwise, a large group of women in the Tang family asked him for money every day, which would also give him a headache.

are all relatives, do you give it or not?

If the reason is sufficient, of course, it must be given. But what about those that are insufficient?

For example, the wife of the fifth prince, if you want to give it twice, do you want to give it?

If it is given, the Tang family will not be able to keep this little money. If you don't give it, you have to listen to the silent chatter of the women, and you will be annoyed. And as an uncle, it's not good to turn against your younger siblings, right?

Simply, send this terrible job to the governor's office. Anyway, guarding Okura is also an errand that offends people, so let her carry it all of them.

Su Bei has long said that Tang Mei is a workaholic, and workaholics are generally obsessed with power. Tang Mei is exactly like this, her brother put the ledger in her hands, she doesn't think about how much trouble this ledger will bring her, she only thinks about her family status, and more power. In addition, she was also staring at the family power stick in Mrs. Cao's hand.

The Tang family has a total of two family prestige sticks, one in the hands of the princess, and the other in the hands of a prestigious woman recognized by the family. And now Tang Mei feels that she is qualified. Just waiting for Mrs. Cao to breathe, that mighty stick is hers.

Now the life of the lord of Loulan is very busy. The spirit is very high, the fighting spirit is high, this morning, rejected the payment request of three people. They are the family visit expenses of the second young master's wife in the third master's family, the funeral expenses of the old lady's nephew in the fifth master's family, and the slave purchase expenses of the seventh son's wife.

In the past, Tang Kuan refused to pay, and he had to say two embarrassing words, but Tang Mei was not, and directly vetoed it, unceremoniously. As a result, the three mothers-in-law were dissatisfied, and when everyone walked out of the governor's mansion, they couldn't help but scold the street.

When Tang Kuan heard about this, he hid at home and snickered. But now Tang Kuan is not idle, but went to Pingkangfang to negotiate with Wanhualou, which is said to have made considerable progress.

However, Wanhualou also gave Tang Kuan a problem, asking Tang Kuan to reopen the sales channel of thin horses. After all, the Huaiyang thin horse market has always been very good, and it is the pillar of Wanhualou. Now that you've ruined it, you have to find a way to make up for it.

"Lord Yu, Feng Die's mother is here, saying that she is proposing marriage to the Wuwei Su family."

The one who came to report the news was Tang Wan, the little maid of the superintendent's house. Tang Wan knew Zhang's family, and she wondered why Zhang's family came to media.

Tang Mei raised her eyebrows: "Is she a matchmaker?" ”

Tang Wan didn't know how to answer, and her little mouth pouted in embarrassment.

Tang Mei didn't care about this question, but asked, "Did you bring a gift?" ”

Tang Wan immediately said: "Bring it, two big lying cabinets." The slave maid has a gift list here, which is presented to the lord of the county. ”

Mama Wang took the gift list, glanced at it first, and glared at the boss with her withered old eyes: "Oh my God! It turns out that the Su family is still so rich? ”

While speaking, Mama Wang sent the gift list to Tang Mei, Tang Mei looked at it and said with satisfaction: "What is it to come to the superintendent to propose relatives?" It's not in accordance with the rules. Let her go to the Guogong Mansion in the evening to propose, and I will let the two side concubines also be present. ”

Tang Mei wanted to make this matter bigger, let Concubine Lin and Concubine Kong also witness it, and then refuse in a high-profile manner.

Why did she refuse?

In Su Bei's view, she is playing the drama of "three rejections of Xuzhou" and "three rejections of yellow robes".

I agreed to propose a kiss once, how faceless?
