Temporarily put aside the matter of ejiao, took a piece of freshly made deerskin ejiao, and entered the kitchen in the courtyard.

Slowly boil the flowers over low heat, and add some red dates.

After Lou Xiao'e woke up, Chu Xiangqian had already used breakfast, Lou Xiao'e felt sweet in her heart, and hugged Chu Xiangqian's neck for a while before getting up to wash up and eat breakfast.

However, before eating red dates and ejiao, Chu Xiangqian still asked Lou Xiao'e a lot of questions, after all, ejiao is actually a medicine, and there are still many contraindications.

And even if you want to eat supplements, you can't eat too much.

After breakfast, Chu Xiangqian wanted to go back to the courtyard and take a few boys to fish, and by the way, get more copper coins from Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong.

But Lou Xiao'e was willing to let him go.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it, going fishing was indeed not as comfortable as accompanying a beautiful lady who was obedient.

After a long morning, the two unconsciously chatted on the bed again.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e didn't have the strength to pull Chu forward and not let him go.

Look at the time, it's almost 12 o'clock, so just stay here today.

hugged Lou Xiao'e to sleep, and the two of them casually got some food for lunch.

Lou Xiao'e was happy to drink coconut water at this time, and she drank two in a row before she became satisfied.

Chu Xiangqian reminded her, and Lou Xiao'e remembered that she had to go back to her parents' house, so as not to be discovered by someone who didn't return all night.

Sent away Lou Xiao'e, who was riding a bicycle and carrying some 2 catties of red dates, 2 catties of Jingbai pears, 2 catties of Taopu and 2 coconuts.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it, went back to the house and entered the novice village, took a bath and washed his clothes, and then put them in the blacksmith shop to dry, and then went to the prospective daughter-in-law's house.

While riding the bicycle, Chu Xiangqian felt that he was too scummy.

can let yourself honestly guard only one woman, and when you think about it, you feel that it is not a good thing for yourself and your daughter-in-law.

In the past two days, I tossed five or six times on Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e, and I only needed to slow down for a while, and I didn't feel tired at all.

If you only guard Xue Jinglan, you can't keep this girl's lifespan long.

Thinking like this, the guilt in Chu Xiangqian's heart immediately disappeared.

Of course, this is just an excuse, but serious consideration is also a real problem.

When he arrived at the compound, Chu Xiangqian took out another basket and loaded it with 6 coconuts, some Jingbai pears, cherries and Taopu.

I wanted to take a durian, but after thinking about it, even the cherry was taken back to the warehouse by him.

This thing didn't mature until early May, and now it's late March, so it's a little early.

And Momoura, which was made into dry goods, has no such worries.

simply put 5 pounds and took it to the door.

When she arrived at Xue's house, when Xue Jinglan saw him coming, the smile on her face suddenly brightened.

If it weren't for the old lady at home, the little girl might have thrown herself into his arms and got tired.

Subsequently, Taopu and Coconut were naturally liked by the old lady and Xue Jinglan.

After drinking the coconut, Chu Xiangqian took Xue Jinglan to the kitchen, cut the coconut shell with a knife, and took out the coconut meat inside for her to taste.

The little girl's heart is called sweet, but 6 are indeed missing.

"Next time I come back from a business trip, I'll bring you dozens to eat slowly."

As soon as she heard that Chu Xiangqian was going on a business trip again, the little girl who was still smiling suddenly lost her smile.

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly hugged Xue Jinglan, "Okay, okay, it's just going out for a month or two." And if you don't work hard while you're young, and you have children in the future, what will you use to support you two? ”

Xue Jinglan's face turned red, and she was both expectant and a little afraid of having a child with Chu Xiangqian.

After a while, he muttered, "I can go to work too." ”

"I have no objection to you going to work, lest you be bored at home alone after you marry me."

Chu Xiangqian lowered his head and Xue Jinglan put his forehead on his forehead, and said with a smile, "Otherwise, I'll find a relationship and transfer you to the Jiaodaokou Street Administration Department to sit in the office."

Or simply stay under my aunt, manage the files, and by the way, I will work harder to let my aunt be the class leader of the street cafeteria.

In the future, not only can I get an extra 5 yuan per month in subsidies, but with me, I can also get some game for the streets, and when my aunt is popular in the streets, I can also earn some extra money to subsidize the family.

But you have to keep and keep this money, so that I don't sometimes forget to collect it when I go on a business trip for a month or two. ”

Xue Jinglan's face was happy, no matter which woman she was, she was born with the talent of a housekeeper.

For Chu Xiangqian to take the initiative to hand over the extra money to himself, he was happy in his heart.

"And where are you going on a business trip this time?"

As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard this, he knew that the little girl had already thought about it.

After thinking about it, he said, "I think I'll go to the south, but I don't know exactly where it is." ”

"To go that far?" Xue Jinglan began to worry again, but after a while, she thought that Uncle was leading troops in the south, "If you have something, remember to go to Uncle for help." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly came out of Chu Xiangqian's arms, pulled him out of the kitchen, and asked the old lady, "Grandma, what is the phone number of the uncle in the south unit?" ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and after listening to Xue Jinglan's explanation, she glanced at Chu Qian thoughtfully.

Chu Xiangqian immediately guessed that the old lady probably knew that she was going to the south and went to Hong Kong Island.

"Forward, if you don't settle down in the south, take Lan Lan over there, right?"

Xue Jinglan was stunned for a moment, Chu Xiangqian frowned and thought for a few seconds and shook his head, "I don't worry about Lan Lan's safety, and the second is that Lan Lan stays in the capital, and I always have a concern in my heart that I can't give up." Good for me. ”

Xue Jinglan looked at Chu Xiangqian stupidly, and then at the old lady, "Grandma, what are you talking about?" ”

The old lady stretched out her hand and pulled Xue Jinglan into her arms, and said with a smile, "Silly girl, grandma is talking about when you and Xiangxiang will get married." ”

Xue Jinglan immediately lost the mind to ask other questions.

The pretty face hid in the old lady's arms, but her eyes peeked at Chu Xiangqian from time to time.

Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, sat on the sofa after thinking about it and said, "Just wait for Lan Lan to celebrate her 18th birthday, if I happen to be in the capital, I will get married."

When she was pregnant with her first child, I was relieved that my grandmother, mother-in-law, and aunt were there. ”

The old lady laughed with satisfaction, Xue Jinglan's ears were red, but she surprisingly didn't say anything, if she didn't marry.

In the evening, after Old Man Xue, the prospective father-in-law, mother-in-law and two eldest brothers came back, when they heard that Chu Xiangqian was planning to marry Xue Jinglan, the family immediately talked about what they needed to prepare with a smile on their faces.

There is also the choice of which day to get the certificate and hold the wedding wine.

The last day was determined on the seventh day of the tenth lunar month, but Xijiu only invited the two families to sit down for a meal together, so as not to cause trouble.

Chu Xiangqian, who realized that he was really going to get married, suddenly felt a kind of worry and faint fear in his heart.

Fortunately, he knows more than most people in this era, knowing that this is a premarital phobia, and at this time, there is still more than half a year before the seventh day of the tenth lunar month, which is enough to adjust his mentality and marry Xue Jinglan with peace of mind.

As for whether to take Xue Jinglan to Hong Kong Island after marriage, think about it seriously, before 65 years, it would be better to let your daughter-in-law stay in the capital.

With these five years, I have enough time to really gain a foothold on Hong Kong Island.

After dinner, the old lady, the mother-in-law-to-be, and Xiao Lan'er went to clean up the dishes, while Chu Xiangqian followed the four old and young men of the Xue family into the old man's study.

Xue Xueli waited for Chu Xiangqian and Xue Jianguo to pour tea for everyone, and then asked, "I heard from an old friend that you have a conflict with people on Hong Kong Island again?" ”

Xue Xiaomin and Xue Jianrong were stunned for a moment, and looked at Chu Xiangqian and Xue Jianguo in surprise.

Xue Jianguo hesitated for a long time, and the sentence 'discipline, can't be said', immediately made Chu Xiangqian the object of scrutiny by his father-in-law and eldest brother.

Chu Xiangqian also understood in his heart that the old man was deliberately telling himself that only he and Xue Jianguo knew about his own affairs in the family.

also faintly reminded himself, don't think that staying on Hong Kong Island, you feel that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and do something sorry for Lan Lan.

After thinking about it, he said, "Grandpa, uncle, eldest brother, people want my life, of course I will kill him first." And I took care of that matter, and I also spent some money afterwards, first appeasing the forces of all parties, and also taking advantage of the situation to sweep away the forces left by the enemy. ”

Xue Jianrong was leading the troops, so he didn't have much opinion on this, but he was worried that Chu Xiangqian would have too many grievances and have trouble with his safety.

The attitude of the old man Xue Xiaomin was different, he wanted to persuade Chu Xiangqian not to fight and kill at every turn, but before the words came out, the old man nodded and said.

"Since it's no more troublesome, let's not talk about it. Let me ask you, what is the reason for coming back suddenly? ”

Chu Xiangqian had long thought that someone would ask him this kind of question, but he still pretended to think about it for a while.

"I spent 10 gold bars to buy the approximate location of a white tiger from a Nanyang merchant. By chance, he sold the white tiger to a nobleman in England.

This time I came back to visit relatives, which was also misleading to the outside world. ”

Xue Jianguo hurriedly asked, "How much can it be sold for?" ”

Chu Xiangqian didn't hide it this time, and said with a smile, "It's about 300,000 pounds." ”

"How much?"

The old man stood up directly excitedly, "Is it really 300,000 pounds, not 300,000 Hong Kong dollars?" ”

Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Uncle, a thoroughbred horse can be sold for millions, or even millions of pounds." In this way, a white tiger that will be unique in England in the future can't even compare to a horse's leg. ”

"This, this", no matter how much knowledge Xue Xueli's ancestors and grandsons have, they can't understand why a horse can be worth twenty or thirty years of income from the rolling mill.

But the 300,000 pounds, that must be reported to the top.

Since Chu Xiangqian said it, he naturally wanted to exchange with the mainland.

As for giving it away for nothing, that's impossible.

lest you use yourself as an ATM in the future, and this money cannot be given directly to the pound, so as not to be too obvious and easily detected by England and the United States.

When the ancestor of the Xue family heard that Chu Xiangqian wanted to exchange all the money for gold, he couldn't help but have a headache and get entangled.

300,000 pounds is equal to 1.2 million US dollars, which is 5.54 million if converted into a Celestial Empire.

Based on the current price of 2,200 to 2,400 yuan for a large yellow croaker, even if it is 2,400 yuan a piece, it will have to pay Chu Xiangqian 2,300.

If you change it to a small yellow croaker, you will get 23,000 pieces.

Converted into grams, it is 23,000 times 31.25 and 718,750 grams.

Equal to 718.75 kg.

In the end, it was Xue Xueli who calmed down first, frowned and asked, "What do you want so much gold for?" ”

Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "In these years, the pound and the dollar are the most popular with capital, and the credit is also the highest. But 300,000 yuan was given to the mainland, and I can't sell 300,000 pounds of industrial products on Hong Kong Island, right?

In that case, as soon as something appeared on Hong Kong Island, I would immediately become the key monitoring target of the baby Guoyan and the rice Guoyan.

In the future, let alone continue to make money, it will be difficult to stay in Hong Kong Island safely.

As for agricultural products, the mainland itself is short of them, so don't transfer them out. ”

As soon as Xue Xiaomin heard this, his desire to make some credit in his heart was immediately dispelled.

And Chu Xiangqian is right, in the long run, it must be his safety that is the most important.

Chu Xiangqian naturally knew that it was impossible for the mainland to give him so much gold at one time.

said with a smile, "It doesn't have to be all gold, like the best bloodstone, Tianhuang stone, mutton fat, Tian jade, and red sapphire." But it's better to give me half of the gold, so as not to affect my future plans. ”

"Plan", Xue Xueli hurriedly asked, "What are your plans?" ”

Chu Xiangqian was secretly happy in his heart, no matter how sophisticated you are, how scheming and calculating, when you encounter something that you are not good at, or even don't understand, you are basically no different from a rookie.

"I plan to go into the entertainment industry, there are not many competitors in this industry, and I have opened up the film market in Nanyang, it is difficult to say how much money I make, but I am still very sure of the capital preservation.

Second, in the eyes of the British, it is not a key focus on the industry.

The third point is the most difficult, but as long as you are familiar with the movie industry, there is a great chance to follow the box office increase of movies and enter the field of newspapers and TV stations.

Once my idea succeeds, even if I can't think of the mainland in my attitude in the future, I will be able to reduce the public opinion forces hostile to the mainland because I already occupy a certain proportion of the public opinion market on Hong Kong Island.

Even when necessary, a fair and objective attitude can be regarded as a victory for the mainland. ”

The two brothers, Xue Jianrong and Xue Jianguo, still didn't understand the meaning of Chu Xiangqian's words.

I still think about why it is the victory of my side if I don't look to my side.

But Xue Xueli and Xue Xiaomin are different, when the Red Party and the Guo Party were playing hide and seek in the south, they already realized the importance of propaganda, and they did a very good job.

Immediately realized that Chu Xiangqian's role was far greater than he had imagined before.

When I heard Chu Xiangqian say that he was already preparing to shoot a one-step kung fu movie, he would start filming when he returned to Hong Kong Island and the funds were in place.

Where did Xue Xueli still have the heart to talk again, so he took the phone and called out.

Not long after, Chu Xiangqian came out again to a certain office he had been to last time and saw the only person in charge of his file.

The two talked about late at night, and finally negotiated at least the terms that Chu Xiangqian felt satisfied with.

One hundred kilograms of the last Changhua bloodstone, one hundred kilograms of the best Shou Shan Tian Huang, and one hundred kilograms of mutton fat and Tian Yu made Chu Xiangqian's heart pound just thinking about it.

He didn't even care what the price of these three kinds of jade was at this time, and promised to offset 150,000 pounds.

In the future, the best bloodstone with bright blood color will cost 5 to 100,000 yuan per gram, and a slightly worse one can buy 30,000 grams.

Just these 100,000 grams of top-grade bloodstone will be worth three to five billion Celestial Dynasty coins in the future.

Of course, the high-grade bloodstone is actually more expensive than gold now, and this thing has been the first choice for the royal family and dignitaries to engrave seals since the whip.

At this time, 150,000 pounds is also very valuable, but considering inflation, the appreciation and retention rate of this superb jade is much stronger than that of gold.

And it's hard to find.

Naturally, I got these jade stones first. In the future, when I make more money, I will continue to buy real estate on Hong Kong Island.

After all, there are many houses on Hong Kong Island, but the best jade is hard to find.

Besides, he still has 5 million Hong Kong dollars in cash hidden in a secret warehouse from Lame Hao.

For the time being, there is indeed no shortage of funds.

The remaining 150,000 pounds will be paid in gold in principle, but this matter will take time to consider.

Chu Xiangqian is not in a hurry, anyway, the White Tiger has not yet traded.

Even if this deal is not completed, he can buy the 300 kilograms of three kinds of jade with 2.4 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to 150,000 pounds.

However, in this way, the level of attention to himself has increased several levels again.

The person in charge of his own information also said very bluntly that the emaciated and kind leader already knew himself.

also deliberately asked him to say that everything is based on safety.
