Chapter 1 The Jade Bracelet

Next Chapter

The cicadas are noisy in late autumn, and the sky in Xiangxi County has been stuffy for dozens of days.

Every day looks like a storm is coming, but the clouds are stacked with heat, separating the coolness of autumn from the clouds.

But this pressing stuffiness did not affect the crowd in Hecaitang at all.

After all, this is a once-in-a-decade big day for the business community in Xiangxi County.

"I heard that the Tao family's Sanniang fell into the water a few days ago, and it burned for several days, and the ginseng cordyceps was poured into the mouth like eating.

"What's the solution? After all, the Tao family can't pick out any good seedlings except Tao Sanniang! What's more, this is only rotated with the master of the Caitang Hall for ten years, not to mention that he is on the hospital bed, even if he is lying in the coffin board, he has to save a breath to give it a try! ”

"I've heard that the Tao family's Sanniang's feelings for the Gu family's son are not ordinary, since he was a child, he has been chasing his ass and growing up, I'm afraid that if he gets the position of the hall master, he will give it to the Gu family!"

The gossip was about the vendors from all walks of life in Xiangxi County, and they were more interested in the gossip of these merchant families than who could become the new chief merchant hall master after three rounds of competition.

Tao Jiang stood in a corner of the courtyard, leaning his back against a vermilion lacquer carved toad pillar without a trace, and his legs were slightly weak before he had some strength.

She lifted her eyelids and looked over her head.

It was still a dark and bottomless cloud, not much better than the previous two days.

Tao Jiang was originally an outstanding graduate of a well-known business school, and he had just gotten an offer and was ready to show his strength in the business world, but he drank his liver at the graduation banquet and died suddenly?!

After waking up, she found herself in an ancient male frequency novel "Emperor Daqi Shang".

This is a novel with two male protagonists, sprinkled with hundreds of chapters that tell the story of two open male protagonists who overcome obstacles along the way and finally build a business empire.

And Tao Jiang's role is not Bai Yueguang who accompanies the male protagonist and is not the mosquito blood that makes the male protagonist want to stop, but a love brain that specializes in serving the male protagonist and being a stepping stone to his career!

It's just a matter of wearing a female N match with no personality, how much to give a golden finger!

But with Tao Jiang only came ...... A dark cloud overhead.

The customer service of the book system told her that this cloud represented her luck in this world, and the darker the color, the worse her luck.

Now Tao Jiang can clearly see his luck value on the clouds--

Health Status: 3/10000 (Red Warning, on the brink of death)

Mental state: negative, pessimistic, confused......

Luck state: 1/10000 (the top bad luck who drinks cold water and stuffs his teeth)

The system customer service explained the rules very clearly--

If the health increases to the full value of 10,000, then Tao Jiang can return to the original world and continue to plan the blueprint of a strong woman in the business world.

But if the health value drops to 0, then both Tao Jiang's spirit and original body will be wiped out in this world called Daqi.

And the only way to accumulate good luck is to find the lucky person with the great light on your head. If the other party has true feelings such as admiration, admiration, jealousy, and fear for her, she can rob the other party of her luck and prolong her life.

As a result, Tao Jiang had to support his weak body, which was on the verge of life and death, and came to Hecaitang to participate in the annual general business election.

After all, the first way to compete for luck is to rely on your long legs.

In the book, the original body is the eldest granddaughter of the Tao family of Xiangxi County, the medicine king, and gave birth to a pair of spiritual heads that God appreciates and eats, and is known as "the first merchant girl in Xiangxi".

It's just that God has opened a door for you, and a window must be closed.

The window that the original body was cruelly closed by God is called looking at a man's eyes.

She was first infatuated with the nephew of her second aunt's family, and she was also one of the male protagonists in the book, Gu Chonglou, the eldest son of the Sicha Gu family.

For the sake of her sweetheart, she ignored her father's death in vain and her mother's persuasion, and married into the Gu family with 64 cars of dowry and family heirloom jade and jade cabbage.

In less than eight years, the Gu family has become the richest man in Xiangxi from the end of the four major families in Xiangxi, and has eaten half of the capital of Anbo Mansion.

Everyone says that the eldest son of the Gu family has the talent of the world, but they don't know that the original body hidden in the account room is the creator of half the city's wealth.

It wasn't until the original body broke through the adultery between Gu Chonglou and her fourth sister Tao Luo in the mandarin duck account that she realized that she was just an old mother in the Gu Mansion who lost money and made efforts.

Tut-tut...... The original body of this business really broke the wife and lost the soldiers.

Tao Jiang vaguely remembered that in the book, he was originally in the book to frequently release water to Gu Chonglou in the general business competition with Caitang, and only then did he step into a purgatory-like life.

So, in order to rewrite the fate of the original body, she struggled with only 3/100 of her health, and came to Hecaitang with her legs swinged.

What's more, there are many jeweled businessmen in Hecaitang, these people are doing well in business, and their luck must be good, maybe she can have some unexpected gains after such a trip.

Tao Jiang was thinking about it, but he saw a man with eyebrows like willows walking towards him, and a pair of peach blossom eyes rose slightly, which made people's hearts flutter.

Tao Jiang is simply stupid--

Not because of the coquettish and amorous face of this man, but directly above his head was a red cloud, as fierce as fire, very dazzling.

Tao Jiang's saliva is about to run down.

This man in wide clothes is Gu Chonglou. Before he approached Tao Jiang, he saw her obsession, and he couldn't help but have a trace of disdain in his eyes, and the corners of his lips were proudly curled.

It's all because I'm so charming!

Let this Tao family girl not see me for a few days, and she will be fascinated by me!

Thinking of this, he straightened out his already smooth bamboo pattern placket, raised his chin slightly and said:

"Cousin, I heard that you are not in good health, so don't force you in today's competition."

A gentle word of care will not take you to death!

Tao Jiang crossed Gu Chonglou's confident hibiscus face, stared straight at the top of his head, and when he got closer, he saw that on the red cloud was written--

Health Status: 100/100

Mental state: high-spirited, complacent, ambitious......

Luck status: 100/100 (there is a who is willing to pay, and stepping on this woman can go straight up)

? Can you step on it?

Tao Jiang had three black lines on the top of his head, and he felt that the system bureau was about to mark his ID number on it.

Gu Chonglou held his head high for a long time without waiting for his cousin's reaction, but found that she was staring at her pearl crown, and secretly thought in her heart that it was really a pearl that was more worthy of her elegant and jade-like temperament.

So he changed the angle again, and said to Tao Jiang in the most charming left side of his face:

"Cousin, what are you fighting for for the position of chief merchant? My aunt said that she would come to handle our marriage after the year. Sooner or later, I will enter the door of my Gu family, so what is the false name of this hall master? ”

The aunt in Gu Chonglou's mouth is the daughter-in-law of the Tao family's second room, and she is also the second aunt who raises Tao Jiang as a "daughter", so it is not wrong for Tao Jiang to call Gu Chonglou a "cousin".

Tao Jiang looked at the greasy smiling face in front of him, and only felt that there was no need to put oil in today's meal, and he really couldn't understand why the original body would be dizzy in such hypocrisy.

She took two quick steps to the side, and pulled out a three-foot distance from Gu Chonglou, with a little more disgust on her face:

"Gu Gongzi, you are you, I am me, if you don't have to divide you and me as you say, is it possible that you will give me the position of general merchant?"

In a word, you, you, me, and I almost said that Gu Chonglou was confused.

Cousin Tao Jiang, what's wrong?

Could it be that the fever in the water burned out the brain?

Or did her aunt persuade her not to come to the general business election, which made her suspicious?

Tao Jiang looked at Gu Chonglou's face as white and red, and added:

"Also, I have decided to take the position of the general merchant today! As for Gu Gongzi's three-legged cat's kung fu, I advise you to go back early, and you can still have dinner in time! ”

The customer service has just sent a message - if you win a game, you will get 5 luck points; If you can win the position of the general merchant, you can get 10 luck points.

Tao Jiang pinched his fingers, although the road home was long and difficult, he could finally see the dawn of victory!

So in the first battle of the opening game, you can win even if you don't win!

While Tao Jiang's heart was surging and surging to cheer himself up, an old man in a blue plain robe came up from the high platform in the middle of the courtyard, with white hair tied up and hanging down from his waist with a hosta, and although his slightly sunken eyes were cloudy, they were blazing.

This is the outgoing master of Hecai Hall - Miao Yiqing.

Tao Jiang raised his eyes and looked over, Miao Yiqing's head was also a layer of red clouds, but the color was relatively light, and there was a layer of shadows around him that gradually became a cage.

After all, it is about to take a back seat, and it is reasonable that luck will decline.

Tao Jiang looked at the other three competitors around him--

Shui Yuntian, the only daughter of the Qianzhuang Shui family, Gu Chonglou, the son of the Gu family, and Mi Liangsheng, the son of the granary rice family.

The color on the top of the three people's heads is very red, not as gloomy as themselves, and they are worthy of the rich second generation who grew up with a golden spoon.

You must know that the candidate for the head of the Hecai Hall is not anyone, it must come from a business family, and the silver and connections are the confidence of them to stand under the stage.

Although Xiangxi County is not a big port, but the land route is convenient and the waterway is developed, from the east can pass through the Baiyan River to Luojing, and to the west and the Saiwai Dongyi country is only separated from the realm of Nanling, which can be said to occupy the time and place of the business.

In the past ten years, the livelihood of Xiangxi County has been controlled by the four major families in the audience-

Qianzhuang Shui family in the east of the city, Silk Tea Gu family in the west of the city, Tao family of Yaowang in the south of the city and rice family in the granary of the north of the city.

Miao Yiqing looked around at the four young men and women lined up under the high platform, cleared his throat and said:

"The old man has been in the position of Xiangxi General Merchant for ten years, and he has not created morality, which is really ashamed! This coincides with the ten-year change of office and the rookies are ready, so there are three rounds of assessment in a three-day period, and the leader of the results should be the new head of the General Chamber of Commerce. ”

Then he took out a jade bracelet in the lacquered wooden box in his hand, and said loudly:

"This is a fine ice seed floating flower jade bracelet, and the original price in the store was thirty taels of silver. Unfortunately, the man was careless and bumped into a crack, so I asked the master jade master to mend the crack with gold wire. ”

Miao Yiqing showed the bracelet in front of everyone, and the green was shining in the sun, but it was a pity that the gold painting destroyed the intact beauty of the bracelet.

"Whoever can sell this jade bracelet for the highest price will be the winner of the first question."

Tao Jiang squinted at the bracelet in Miao Yiqing's hand, and was overjoyed in his heart - selling things, this I am professional!

Tao Jiang quickly picked up the pen and wrote down all the thoughts in his mind on the humble silk at hand.

Not long after, the other three candidates also submitted their respective silk papers.

After Miao Yiqing finished reading each of them, he whispered to the little girl, and then said to everyone:

"Four candidates have completed the questions. I'm going to send the same guy to sell the bracelet in the same shop, in a four-digit way. Everyone will wait for half a day, and there will be results. ”

After speaking, he sat down on the Nanmu chair, but glanced deeply in the direction of Tao Jiang.

It was nearly dusk, and the sultry heat in the air did not evacuate a little, and the warm light of the setting sun added a bit of heat to the body.

There were people who couldn't stay idle, so they gathered around a corner and started a gambling game, and their mouths were still shouting:

"I pressure the son of the Gu family, then Tao Sanniang will definitely let her sweetheart!"

"I'm pressing Tao Sanniang! She could sell that bracelet for at least twenty taels of silver! ”

"You can blow it! If the jade is not complete, the jade will not be worth much! Even if Tao Zhugong is alive, he can sell at most fifteen taels! ”

Everyone was arguing, and the little guy rushed to the high platform with a box in his hand, and handed the brocade box in his hand to Miao Yiqing, who had already tasted two pots of tea.

Miao Yiqing opened the letterhead in the brocade box, and after glancing at it, a smile was hung on his fairy-like white beard:

"I'll announce the results. According to the method of the son of the Mi family, the bracelet was sold for two taels of silver; According to the method of the girl of the water family, the bracelet was sold for five taels; Gu Chonglou Gu Gongzi sold it for fifteen taels ......"

"Fifteen taels? Gu Gongzi is capable! ”

There are already people down there who can't wait to slap their horses.

Miao Yiqing did not look at Gu Chonglou, but stared in the direction of Tao Jiang, and there was more appreciative tenderness in his tone:

"The third mother of the Tao family, the bracelet will be ...... Sold for the original price of thirty taels! ”
