Chapter 125: How Can a Poor Man Be Rich at First Sight?
(Hook star, silver hook, stupid is not clear, only corrected by the Ministry of Gou Xing, silver hook is all Gu Long's trouble.) ๏ผ
Looking at the deed in his hand, thinking that the man in the green shirt actually quietly left a gambling house for himself, Ning Que was shocked, but also felt some unfamiliar warmth in his chest, and asked, "Where is he now?"
"When I received his last letter, he said that he was going to Mount Tai to see the sunrise. Qi Siye replied.
The warm shock gradually subsided, Ning Que thought about Qi Si's mocking words before, thinking that he cheated and cheated money into his gambling house, his cheeks felt a little hot, after all, he was a young man, where could he withstand such a lady's fall, in order to resolve the embarrassment, he said ashamedly: "No one in the Fish Dragon Gang has informed me about this." โ
Qi Siye raised his eyebrows, glared at him and said angrily: "Before leaving, the eldest brother specially took a few of us to Linxi Forty-seventh Lane to meet you, and said at that time, you can come to me if you have anything to do, it's been a few months, when have you looked for me? You have that identity on you now, how can I take the initiative to find you?"
Ning Que only remembered his other identity at this time, the Great Commander of Xu Chongshan saw him, threw him a black wooden sign, and never contacted him again, he had long forgotten that he was still the secret guard of the empire.
He was sighing with emotion to hide his shame, but Fourth Master Qi remembered something strange in this matter, and his eyebrows, which had just calmed down, suddenly provoked, looked at the young man in shock and said, "You...... I know you're a good guy at killing, but when did you actually be able to practice and enter the real world?"
"What happened just two days ago is just a beginner's level, and it is still 108,000 miles away from the real world. โ
Ning Que didn't know the runic gold mezzanine in the black Yi Cup of the Gouxing Gambling House, and replied honestly: "I thought that I would take advantage of the great opportunity that no one knew about to earn more silver taels, but now although I can't earn it, please help keep it secret." โ
Qi Siye's voice became sharp and annoyed: "You won more than 10,000 taels of silver from Gouxing, how can this matter be kept secret?" Although Chang'an City is big, there are not many people who run away with a little black charcoal maid, as long as you inquire a little, you can be found out." โ
Ning Que smiled and said gently: "You are now the boss of Chang'an City, isn't it just a matter for you to let go of such a trivial matter?"
Fourth Master Qi couldn't refuse his words that were not trivial or serious, he frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It's not difficult to hide it, but what does it mean to conceal the identity of a cultivator? If that's what it means, I advise you not to think like this, Chang'an City is not a rural place after all, you can find thousands of eight hundred cultivators casually, you can't be too conspicuous, according to me, you might as well honestly explain to the academy, it is more important to get some real benefits. โ
Ning Que thought about the legendary two-story building of the academy that might be opened next year, and thought of General Xiahou, who was opening up territory for the empire in the distant frontier at this time, and replied with a smile: "Just because I know that I am too ordinary, so why bother to go out and cause trouble, one day in the future, I can go further and more steadily on this road, and it doesn't hurt to say it again." โโ
You're not from my Fish and Dragon Gang, and it's up to you to do whatever you want, but since it's rare to meet you today, some things still have to be completed quickly. โ
Qi Siye stretched out his slender fingers, tapped the title deed document in front of him, and said: "There is a transfer agreement that needs your signature, and from now on, this gambling house will be transferred to you, and I will no longer have to spend energy to manage it for you." โ
Ning Que thought to himself that this is not good, opening a gambling shop requires people to ask for money and background, and he wants to study in the academy, it is impossible to let Xiao Sangsang wear a dealer uniform to see the dozen or so gambling tables, his eyes rolled slightly, and he said with a shy smile: "Good brother, you can spend some more energy to manage it, I really don't have the ability, and I don't have the time." โ
After some disputes, Qi Siye finally failed to defeat Ning Que's repeated sycophants and Laipi spirit, and reluctantly agreed to his conditions, the gambling house is still Ning Que's, but under the custody of the Fish and Dragon Gang, Ning Que doesn't need to do anything, just get dividends every month according to the proxy agreed by the two parties.
After the discussion, he didn't eat supper and didn't call the girl to come over to play, Ning Que took Sang Sang out of the newly opened gambling house in Xicheng as soon as possible, he left in such a hurry, as if he was fleeing, and even returned to his home in Lane 47, only to remember that he didn't even remember the name of the gambling house.
Sang Sang took out the thick stack of silver tickets from his belt, put them in the box and spread them out, and looked around at the simple bedroom, the gaze in Liu Ye's eyes kept wandering in the beams and rat holes, and her mind kept wandering, thinking about where it should be safest After all, she still lifted the bed board according to the old method...... "Carefully hide the box in."
When she turned around, she saw Ning Que sitting on the circle chair in a daze, the look on his face was very complicated and wonderful, as if he had been smashed stupidly by a cornucopia in the sky, and it seemed like he had been smashed too hard and wanted to cry. โ
Young master, your umbrella sky is a little weird. Sang Sang looked at him curiously and asked, "Just now, when I left the gambling house, I felt like I owed someone eight hundred taels of silver, and the wolf bรจi was very powerful......
It's a shame to be a shame today, I've never done such a bad thing in my life. Ning Que replied angrily, and suddenly thought about the box of silver tickets under the bed, and the look of shame on his face was suddenly replaced by a look of joy: "But if I can earn so much silver every time, I am willing to let me go on forever." โ
After saying this, he put a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and motioned for Sang Sang to sit on the small bench in front of him, and said in an extremely strict and serious tone: "I think it is necessary to have a family meeting." โ
For Ning Que, family meetings were one of the most unforgettable and uncomfortable experiences in his previous life...... Probably subconsciously influenced by Yan zhรฒng, although there are always only two people in the small family in this life, he and Sangsang's master and servant, whether it is in Minshan Caoju or Weicheng Courtyard, he often asks for family meetings.
Knowing that the young master was about to start talking nonsense again, Sang Sang first went to get the sewing bag, and then changed into a pair of comfortable slippers made of cotton, and then sat down on the small bench in front of him, respectfully waiting for the coins. โ
In the middle of the windows of each study room in the academy, there are some famous aphorisms of the former sages, although I don't think Na Yu writes well, but the meaning of those aphorisms and famous sentences is not too wrong. โ
Sang Sang lowered his head and concentrated on the insoles, and after listening to these words, he didn't raise his head, but just hummed softly with his little nose, indicating that he heard it and asked the young master to continue. Ning Que glanced at her and shook his head, she has been in this style every time she has a family meeting over the years, he has said it many times to no avail, there is really no way to take her, ignore it, continue to speak, just beg the only audience not to slip away.
In fact, there is a sentence that says this~~ The environment changes people's temperament, and dedication changes people's physique. What does this mean? It is to tell us that when you have two thousand taels of silver in your hand, you cannot be as stingy in your work as you were when you had only twenty taels of silver, and you cannot always eat leftovers......
Hearing this, Sang Sang raised his head and glanced at him, his face full of grievances and dissatisfaction. โ
Well, thrift is indeed a virtue, but you have to think about it, we are really not bad for money now, with more than 10,000 taels of silver in our hands, and the gambling house has dividends every month. โ
Ning Que said with emotion: "In other words, the business of the reader is the business of the reader, and the business of the cultivator is also the business of the cultivator...... So I decided not to go to the casino to cheat and win money in the future, I was worried that the academy teachers would be angry when they found out, and at the same time I decided to withdraw all my masterpieces from tomorrow from the front shop, and as for the business, I would go from the Xiangfang side to collect some cheap books from poor scholars to sell, and make some difference. โ
Sang Sang passed the needle and thread through the end of the insole, pulled hard, opened his mouth to bite the thread and ripped it off, and then asked with puzzled eyes: "Not a single one is sold?" Young master, will this seem a little poor and rich?"
Ning Que was stunned by what she said, coughed twice, and said: "The adjectives you use are not too prepared, this is not called a poor man who is rich, it should be called a little rich Ye'an...... Of course, it is not good for the poor to be rich at first glance, and it is not advisable to be rich at first, so my Yu is still in the front shop with a few pairs of gui, but the price must be raised, and it cannot be sold if it is not a thousand gold. โ
Sang Sang thought to himself, young master, your most expensive Zhongtang was only sold for twenty taels of silver, and the expensive one was also sold, that day you also specially instructed me to take a pot of braised pork to celebrate and finally slaughtered a big head, and now you say that your books can't be sold unless you have a thousand gold, although this Chang'an City is indeed stupid and has a lot of money, but where are there so many wronged heads?
Looking at the strong puzzled look in the little girl's dark eyes, Ning Que raised her eyebrows and explained with a smile: "Remember, we are too rich now, not bad, even if this is a thousand dollars to buy Ma Qing, you can increase your reputation."
According to his wishes, the next day Sang Sang removed most of the books he had written from the old pen house, and then went to Xiangfang to buy a large number of new works by the calligrapher, and when the guests took a fancy to the books written by Ning Que and asked for a price, she would honestly tell the other party: The proprietor's own writing is extremely precious, so the price is not the same.
The development of the situation was not the same as Ning Que guessed, and the price of his calligraphy works was not made to soar the reputation of Lao Bizhai, and the business in the shop became worse and worse, except for a lot of similar ......, "Is the owner of this shop poor and crazy...... There is nothing to be gained but cynicism.
But now that the master and servant have suddenly changed from poor people to too rich people, they really have some strength to become rich, even Sang Sang doesn't care much about Lao Bizhai's income, and Ning Que is busy reviewing his homework in the academy every day, and is busy climbing the old library to ask that friend for many methods in the cultivation world, and he doesn't pay attention to these.
