Chapter 236: The Calm Before the Storm
With a burst of wailing, Shi Gong also thought clearly, the old lady was right, there are still people who farm for them and work hard, isn't it just for that mouthful of food!
But as long as Ye Feng's Ten Thousand Years City is established, those people will not have to fight hard to get back their deeds of sale, it is better to become a shop in the Ten Thousand Years City now!
"Dad, it has to be you!" Shi Gong hurriedly praised two or three sentences, "There is no one in this family, and the son can't support it alone!"
Mrs. Shi smiled happily, "It's worthy of being my son, you can listen to it, if you don't have this advantage, Lao Tzu won't worry about handing over such a big family business to you!"
Shi Gong hurriedly got up and filled the tea in Old Lady Shi's teapot, "My son is young, and he can't do a lot of things, so he has to be picked up by his father all the time!"
"That's natural, I want to be at the beginning!" Old Lady Shi half-squinted her eyes and said excitedly, "You and I have been busy for so long to earn such a big family business, and it is impossible to lose it in your hands."
For a while, the spittle stars flew wildly, and the old man stared at Shi Gong with a full face, and slapped his thigh suddenly, "Hurry up, don't patronize it, it's very lively, these things are dealt with quickly, otherwise we won't be able to sell them at a good price when those old boys make a move!"
Who else can Mrs. Shi say, the other richest men in Liangzhou City have been fighting with Mrs. Shi all their lives, and they are still slightly inferior.
"Don't wait for those turtle sons to come to their senses, go quickly!" Old Lady Shi hurriedly urged, "As long as we get the silver, our Shi family doesn't know how much ahead of them!"
Shi Gong reacted, and took a few subordinates to neatly pack more than a dozen boxes of antique vases, antique jade, and celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and hurriedly went out.
Zhenbao Zhai, the largest treasure trading venue in Liangzhou City, usually mosquitoes do not see one, crowded with people at the moment, eager to jump in to trade, the shopkeeper's abacus almost hit the sparks, hurriedly reminded!
"Wait, wait!" The more the shopkeeper shouted, the more anxious the people who rushed in.
"Wait, we have enough money," the shopkeeper said in a hoarse voice, "and another silver has arrived!"
"Shopkeeper, hurry up, don't grind!" One of them scolded angrily, "Is it possible that Lao Tzu is waiting for you!"
The shopkeeper raised his head slightly, and the abacus beads in his hand moved slightly, deliberately regretting, "Yes, this is not a miscalculation, we have to do it all over again!"
"You're kidding me?" The young man gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, "I really think there is a ...... behind this."
Before the words fell, a hand lightly tapped on the young man's shoulder, and the young man came back to his senses, and just wanted to speak, he was slapped hard in the face.
"There's ...... behind me," the young man said angrily.
Everyone is not used to such a stinky problem, and the next moment the young man was thrown out, of course, there was a fluttering sentence, "You are all over Liangzhou City to inquire, who is not a person with a head and a face, and really thinks he is a thing?"
"Who are you talking about?" The young man's face was gloomy, "Believe it or not, I let ......."
Before he could finish speaking, a crazy beggar passed by, and a shoe fell into the young man's mouth impartially, "You want to eat? Here you go!"
Immediately caused a burst of laughter, where did the young man care to explain his identity, and hurriedly fled.
The shopkeeper's eyes were half-squinted, and the abacus beads in his hand were beating faster and faster, and after a while, all the invitations were delivered to the family family.
Unlike in the past, everything in the auction requires silver, and giving it can even give you the throne.
That's right, this is also Ye Feng's idea, there is no way, I am afraid of poverty, and I have to repair the Ten Thousand Years City, which is another big expense!
When Shi Gong put away the silver neatly and struggled to put it into the carriage, the old shopkeeper came out to give him off, and said slowly with a fist, "You don't know how to explain our new way of storing silver to Shi Gong!"
"Shopkeeper, we said, he doesn't accept the stone shopkeeper!" The young man hurriedly defended, "We can't force the stone shopkeeper to accept it!"
The old shopkeeper glanced at the young man, and the young man hurriedly took a few steps back, and the old shopkeeper put it on
With a smiling face, "This kid has also made me spoiled, lawless, and rude in front of the shopkeeper."
"How?" Shi Gong knew that the old shopkeeper was a polite word, so he naturally wouldn't follow the old shopkeeper to speak, "I have long heard that the guys cultivated by the old shopkeeper are one top two, so it seems that it is really a rumor."
Shi Gong smiled and explained, "I look at it now, even the top three are the world's underestimation of these guys, where are those stupid people like my family, they can't be brought out at all!"
"Hey, that's a mistake!" The old shopkeeper grabbed Shi Gong and said polite words for a while before he spoke, "Shi Gong thinks there is something wrong, so he is unwilling to hand it over to us directly for safekeeping!"
Looking at the boxes of silver exchanged for paper money, who can accept it on whose head, but Shi Gong found a breakthrough after a little thought, "The old shopkeeper doesn't know, my father likes these silver the most, if I can't bring it back, I'm afraid that my father will feel uncomfortable."
"Oh, I see!" The old shopkeeper tilted his head and listened for a long time, and pretended to agree a few times, "Please, please!"
The sound of the wheels sounded far away, and then the butler of Shi Gong raised his head and asked Shi Gong, "Master, how heavy it is to carry so much silver, anyway, it will be used in a few days, it is better to hand it over to the shopkeeper, who dares to owe us silver!"
"Confused!" Shi Gong scolded with a smile, "Little thing, think about it in front of you, who started all this, or what are those things all about?"
"Ten Thousand Years City!" The groom touched his head and still couldn't think clearly, and looked up in the hope that Shi Gong would be able to answer his doubts.
"But no, after having Wannian City, we seem to be led by the nose by that person, if we really leave the silver, what should we do with the Shifu at that time, what to eat and drink, and if there are other schemes behind this matter, the silver is in our own hands, it is easy to say!"
Shi Gong simply opened the skylight and said brightly, making the stakes clear, "If Ye Feng gives us things normally, then we will give him silver, and the goods and silver will be clear, what if Ye Feng is using Wannian City as an excuse to circle money? The money is still in our hands, so we have nothing to fear."
"The old man is clever, no wonder the old lady often praises you!" The housekeeper was busy sending a sycophant, "With the master's leadership, Shifu will definitely go to another level!"
Shi Gong's smile trembled, and it didn't take long for the group to arrive at Shifu, and seeing that there were already many carriages parked at the door, he hurriedly restrained his smile and explained to the housekeeper, "Take someone to put things where they should be, and the reward master will send someone to send them over!"
After a few steps into the main hall, facing the lords of the great families, Shi Gong bowed and saluted, "I have seen all the uncles."
"Father, step back first!" Shi Gong was exposed to the general seriousness of the court.
"Go ahead!" Old lady Shi was seventy or eighty years old, and she waved her hand and ordered, "Go!"
"Wait!" Old lady Ma smiled slightly, and slurred a sentence with her only remaining front teeth, "I have been a ruler for so many years, you can listen to these things if you want to, and your Uncle Ma is the master for you!"
"No matter what time it is, you are all elders, and where is my junior in front of the elders to speak!" Shi Gong arched his hands and thanked him again, tiptoeing to withdraw.
"Stay!" Old Lady Shi commanded slightly, and Shi Gong hurriedly said respectfully, "Yes, Father!"
Shi Gong found the last seat to sit down, and tried to move his butt to sit only halfway, trying to keep his body upright, and then drank tea without saying a word.
"What a good boy, if I had such a son, I would have blossomed a long time ago!" Old lady Ma smiled and spoke, took out a jade pendant from his arms, and hurriedly handed it to Shi Gong, "Big nephew, I went out in a hurry this time, I didn't bring many good things, this is for you!"
"No, no, uncle, I definitely can't ask for this thing!" Shi Gong hurriedly excused himself with both hands, and in an instant, Old Lady Ma's face changed, "You kid, treat your uncle as an outsider!"
"The elder dare not quit!" Mrs. Shi was full of majesty, and Shi Gong accepted the gift in a huff.
Someone started, and the rest of the people took out one or two gadgets and handed them to Shi Gong, but Old Lady Ma still had to judge beside him, "This little thing is compared
Well, it's not worth much!"
After everyone gave the meeting gift to the other, Mrs. Shi coughed lightly, "You are all friends for many years, don't hide anything you have to say, no one will remember when you go out of this door today!"
Before the words were spoken, everyone had no scruples, and hurriedly spoke, "What do the brothers think about the auction of land? Should we give it our all?"
"Of course, don't you think you can't see the mystery here?" One of them said coldly, "Or do you want to keep the benefits to yourself?"
"No, if we fight for the bloodshed, who will pick up the bargain at that time? A certain one is afraid that the snipe and the clam will fight, and the fisherman will benefit!" The man said aloud, "Why don't I cooperate and get the most benefit!"
Everyone is not stupid, so they naturally considered everything clearly, and only frowned and thought about it for a while.
"Tell me how I can work together, and if it's as you say, there's nothing wrong with cooperating!" Old Lady Shi and Old Lady Ma smiled slightly and took the lead in speaking.
"Okay, in that case, I'll just speak," the man said with great interest, "Actually, it's simple, as long as I wait for the agreement, whoever gets the piece of land is not robbed by others, and everyone can get what they want at that time." Old Lady Sun smiled and said, "It won't cost a lot of money!"
"Old lady Sun's meaning is clear, but if so, who is the worst to give to?" Mrs. Ma was puzzled.
