Chapter Forty-Eight: The Light Bulb Blows Up
At the dinner table, Lord Chen and Master Fei were chatting, and Qin Mu was a little unable to interject on the side.
Qin Mu picked up his wine glass and stood up, "I'll give a glass to the two adults, I'll do it, you are free." ”
With a glass of wine, Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
The two looked at him with a smile.
"Qin Mu, right?" Chen Si had a little unhappiness on his face.
"Yes, Lord Chen."
"Tell me, what did you do to me today?"
"I want to buy a batch of iron ore and use it to make steel." Qin Mu said without concealment.
"How much do you need?"
Qin Mu stretched out his palm and compared it to five.
"Five hundred pounds?"
"It's five thousand pounds."
Chen Si was amused by Qin Mu and teased: "You want to rebel, you?" ”
In fact, five thousand catties of iron ore can only train about 3,000 catties of iron at most, which is enough for Qin Mu to try and make mistakes.
"And what kind of thing do you say is steel?"
Qin Mu found that there was still a turning point, so he spent a few minutes explaining the difference between iron and steel.
The two listened for a long time and didn't understand it.
Chen Si said: "Then this steel is used to make instruments?" Haha, it's the first time I've heard that I can still use it this way after I've lived so long. ”
"Lord Chen laughed, if you can succeed, you will need more iron ore in the future, do you think this will work?"
Chen Si put down his wine glass, "Okay, five thousand catties of iron ore, fifty thousand taels of silver." ”
Qin Mu immediately lost his smile, this price is purely embarrassing for himself, according to the current price of iron in Datang, it is only thirty wen a catty, this is purely to make him retreat.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Fei Ran picked up the wine glass, "Lord Chen, what about your family, ask him to come out for a drink, we will all be in-laws in the future." ”
Chen Si drank a glass of wine sullenly, "Okay." Then he turned to look at Jiading, "Call Chen Xiao over to me." ”
"No."
After a while, an ordinary-looking man with a blank look walked in.
"Father."
Chen Si gave him a look.
He slowly walked between Qin Mu and Fei Ran and glanced at them, Fei Ran was about to get up, Chen Xiao suddenly saluted Qin Mu, "I've seen Lord Fei." ”
Qin Mu got up awkwardly and smiled, "That is Lord Fei." ”
Chen Xiao scratched his head and sighed, "I've seen Master Fei." ”
"Haha, sit, do it quickly."
Fei Ran sat down with an ugly face, his eyes full of unhappiness.
Qin Mu looked at the stupid Chen Xiao and felt that there was something else hidden in this for a while.
Will Fei Caiwen be willing to marry a demented man like Chen Xiao?
Chen Si said to Chen Xiao, "Toast to your future father-in-law." ”
Chen Xiao reacted, picked up his wine glass and faced Qin Mu, "Father-in-law." ”
Qin Mu was extremely embarrassed, this person was not only mentally problematic, but in his opinion, he was a stupid and stupid mentally handicapped child.
Chen Si beckoned impatiently, and immediately asked the family to take Chen Xiao down.
Qin Mu found that Chen Si's eyes were half cold when he looked at him, and this time the business talk was blown.
Next, Chen Si was drunk alone, and when Fei Ran and Qin Mu saw that it was not too early, they left the Chen Mansion together.
The two walked down the aisle without saying a word.
Fei Caiwen followed behind Qin Mu and dragged him and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" ”
Fei Ran suddenly stopped, looked at Fei Caiwen and said in a heavy tone, "Caiwen, it's my father who is sorry for you." ”
"Master Fei, then Chen Xiao is mentally retarded, how can you marry your daughter to him, isn't that a widow!"
"You don't know that I drank with Lord Chen and made a baby kiss, my current official position is not as high as his, and it is almost impossible to repent of marriage." Fei Ran sighed.
"Mentally retarded?" Fei Caiwen walked up to Fei Ran angrily, "Did you already know!" He's a fool! ”
Fei Ran wanted to appease Fei Caiwen, but she ran out of the house angrily.
"Ugh..."
"Master Fei, I'll chase her, and I'll send you home later."
Fei Ran clenched his fists, "It's troublesome, it's all my fault..."
Qin Mu chased after him and went out of the house, when a light rain suddenly began to fall outside, Qin Mu walked around the alley for a long time before he found Fei Caiwen under a stable.
"Let's go, come back with me."
"I don't! Leave me alone! ”
Qin Mu squatted beside her and watched the rain stay along the thatch, and then comforted: "I know why your father is so interested in promotion, it turns out that it is all for you." ”
Fei Caiwen looked at Qin Mu, "What are you talking about?" ”
Qin Mu explained the conditions for finding his father to do things before, and he roughly guessed that the reason why Feiran agreed to him was to offer advice and promotion, as long as the official position was greater than Chen Si, then everything was easy to say and there was room for negotiation.
Chen Si is the director of the Salt and Iron Division, which is the official position of Zheng Sanpin, and he has the power to mine iron ore, and the actual power is greater.
The crushing of people at the level of officials and universities is even more serious in feudal society.
"Is it true that as long as my father's official position exceeds that of Lord Chen, I don't have to marry that fool?" Fei Caiwen seemed to grasp the life-saving straw and asked expectantly.
"That's right, unless your father can enter the cabinet..."
Fei Caiwen sighed in disappointment, "Is this how my life is?" ”
"But it's man-made, I have a way to get your father into the cabinet."
Fei Caiwen suddenly grabbed Qin Mu's arm, "How to do it, how to do it, you can say it quickly!" ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Qin Mu's mouth, and an idea sprouted from his mind.
"That's it, you go back to your father to help me get iron ore, and then I will write a plan to let your father fly directly to Huang Tengda."
"And how long will it take for this plan to materialize?"
Qin Mu made a rough calculation, "At least one year." ”
"One year!" Fei Caiwen's eyes instantly turned blank, "I'm going to marry him next month!" ”
"Uh..."
Fei Caiwen squatted on the ground and stabbed the ground with a wooden stick, and Qin Mu was covered in mud.
"Miss, you are stupid, you can't run away from home!"
"Running away from home?" Fei Caiwen looked at Qin Mu with bright eyes.
Qin Mu hurriedly covered his mouth, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, "No, you are honestly staying at home..."
"I heard my father say that you are doing business in Luoyang, what kind of business do you have?"
"Sell things, Yelan Rumor knows, right?"
"The Ballad of the Night! You made it! My dad bought me a piece and it's so easy to use..."
Fei Caiwen kept talking in Qin Mu's ear, and Qin Mu was only a perfunctory responder.
Fei Caiwen gave him the feeling of being like a little girl who had never seen much of the world, and she said things that were not nutritious.
But a girl like her doesn't have any bad intentions, but is very kind and has no arrogance.
"Okay, the rain has stopped, let's go back to our respective homes and find our own mothers."
Fei Caiwen asked a little unhappily: "Do you dislike me for being annoying?" ”
"No, I listen to everything you say, I don't believe you ask one."
"What do I like to do?"
"You like to draw, and every time you get your hands full of ink, and you use mine..."
"Haha, Qin Mu, you're so good!"
Qin Mu looked at her with a confident smile.
These are all necessary skills for him to lick dogs in the past, and since then, he has developed the ability to remember key words, and finally uses these details to make his girlfriend happy.
Now Qin Mu will not fall in love at all, there is only one thing in his heart, that is, he will do what he wants to do by any means, and feelings will no longer be the whole of his life.
