"What's missing from me?"

Ye Fuliu looked up at the bright moonlight at the zenith. The moonlight radiated and shone, as if the clear light of the golden cake fell into the arms.

"Furniture is beautiful, and wooden chairs are better in pairs. I see that the furniture on the wooden floor of your house is a precious rosewood texture, with tables, chairs, coffee tables, and books, why is there only one wooden chair? It looks weird. Wei Langjun, you lack a wooden chair. ”

Wei Huan didn't move, and took another sip of mung bean soup.

"I'm sitting alone, why do I need pairs of wooden chairs?"

Ye Fuliu has never been in a hurry to talk about business, and continued to talk slowly.

"It's weird. When people lack things, they feel like they lack nothing. Only when that thing is made up will you be shocked to realize that it was so lacking before. Wei Langjun, give you a rosewood chair on the wooden floor, can you try it first? If you are not satisfied, you will not give money, and you will return the chair. It's not too late to bid if you're satisfied. ”

Wei Huan's action of scooping the soup paused.

Turning his gaze in the direction of the courtyard wall, he glanced to the opposite side.

The world is so big that there are no surprises. Is the Ye family's fourth mother's way of doing business strange, or is he less knowledgeable.

Supply the trial first, and then give money if you are satisfied. The current business of stealing ...... Fierce competition in the industry?

There was silence on the other side of the wall, and Ye Fuliu was not impatient at all. The people who do her business are all big customers, and they can't be in a hurry. She covered her mouth and yawned slightly.

"Why hasn't Wei Da come back yet?"

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Before the words landed, there was a sharp knock on the door. Su Qiu said happily, "Wei Da is back."

She got up to open the door, but Qin Long's voice sounded outside the door. "Lord, open the door. I brought the cat pots back. ”

Yo, it turned out that it wasn't Wei Da, but his own chief steward who hadn't seen anyone for two days.

Ye Fuliu got up and went out to greet him, and Qin Long really stood head-on, followed by a clear white-faced scribe dressed in a robe and big sleeves, in his early thirties, with three locks of short beard, and a familiar cat basin in his arms.

There was someone behind the middle-aged scribe.

The four big men in civilian clothes, wearing official soap boots on their feet, standing with their hands straight behind their backs, standing with crossed legs, staring at the gate of the Ye family with blazing eyes.

Ye Fuliu: "......" What kind of official errand is this?

The white-faced scribe took two steps forward, holding the cat basin and reporting to the door:

"The official's surname is Lu, and he is the magistrate of Jiang County. This is the little lady Ye who is the head of the Ye family? Don't panic. This official personally sent your Ruguan kiln cat basin back to the door of the Ye family, and returned to Zhao, you can put it away. ”

Lu Zhixian returned the cat basin on the spot, turned his head and scolded Qin Long angrily, "The kid is arrogant!" Don't block the county yakou anymore and ask for things! If it weren't for your kung fu skills, you have repeatedly caught thieves and sent them to the official, and this official will definitely punish you for the crime of roaring in court! ”

Ye Fuliu: "......" good guy.

She curled the corners of her lips and turned around to look at Qin Long with a smile.

His eyes flickered and said, "You have the ability. Asked for a cat pot and brought the magistrate back? 】

How many days has it been since the arrest warrant was issued in Jiangning Prefecture? Lu Zhixian must have seen it. It's one thing to paint an arrest warrant like it, it's another thing to open the door to the official.

Qin Long spread his hands angrily, [He insisted on following. What can I do? 】

Ye Fuliu glanced at the crowd gathering around him: [I don't think it's simple. 】

Lu Zhixian scolded Qin Long, turned around and exchanged a few words with Ye Fuliu across the door.

As the parent official of the county, he personally sent the cat basin to the door, in addition to showing the importance of the palace gifts, it turned out that he had other thoughts.

Seeing that the doors of the surrounding neighbors' homes were open one by one, and seeing the lively crowd gradually surrounding, Lu Zhixian bowed solemnly in the direction of the capital to the north, and then mentioned it in public......

There are four counties and towns under the jurisdiction of Jiang County, Wukou Town is the richest town, and the Ye family is one of the richest households in Wukou Town.

Two years ago, the Son of Heaven drove a personal expedition to quell the turmoil and disasters in the north in World War I, which led to the prosperity of the people in the south. The imperial court is tight on taxes and the treasury is empty, it is the time for the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan to actively raise donations and take on the responsibility of the rich!

"A small cat pot is worth more than three hundred taels. That's enough to pay the taxes of twenty medium-sized households. Lu Zhixian held up the cat basin and showed it to everyone to see, "- the Ye family is rich, don't forget your family and country." ”

Ye Fuliu smiled calmly.

It's no wonder that a county parent official would come to the door in person. It turned out that he couldn't collect taxes, and the donations came to his doorstep.

In the past two years, the Ye family's cloth business has spread greatly in Jiangnan, and they have long become a fat sheep walking in the eyes of the official family, and they have been slammed with wool wherever they go.

It is not the first time that Ye Fuliu has been chased by the government to raise donations, he is familiar with it, and he generously expressed his attitude on the spot, for the family and the country, and the rich family is duty-bound to raise donations from the court, the slogan is finished, and the words turn a corner:

"The large and small merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are headed by the Shen firm. Shen Da's family is now in Wukou Town, what is the specific share of the donations...... Please also ask for a few days, and let the little girl go to discuss with Shen Da's family. ”

Lu Zhixian's spirits were greatly lifted, and his attention was immediately turned away, "The head of the Shen Zi business is also in the town?" Great, where are the others? I'm going to visit! ”

Wool, how can there be an extra one who dislikes the fat sheep. Lu Zhixian rubbed his hands, asked the place, turned his head and went straight to several restaurants along the river in Wukou Town.

Ye Fuliu politely sent away the big Buddha outside the door, politely sent away the neighbors who were watching the excitement around, stood by the door, and with the light of the lantern on the door, turned the cat basin in his hand over and over to check that it was in good condition, and smiled at Qin Long. "Well done this time. Don't do it next time. ”

Qin Long: "......"

Ye Fuliu carried the cat basin and walked to the light of the courtyard.

The cat's basin remained as it was, perhaps because of the scruples of the precious palace gifts, and they did not dare to clean it. Before she could soak the cat basin in the water under the light, there was an unexpected inquiry from the next door that had been quiet for a long time.

Wei Huan asked across the courtyard wall, "Does Ye Xiaoniang's cat pot sell it?" ”

Ye Fuliu's footsteps paused, and the corners of his lips curled up.

It's not for nothing that the whole night has been noisy, and you see, business is coming to the door.

Ye Fuliu opened his mouth and came and skillfully moved out of the elders of the northern capital.

"Ancestral old things, unique products are difficult to sell. This cat basin is a small object used by ancestors to raise cats to play. I originally planned to transport it to the north and put it in front of the elders in the capital, to see things and think about people, and to give the elders a thought. It's not easy to sell. ”

Wei Huan listened over the wall.

Ancestral old things, unique products are difficult to sell. Sounds familiar. It seems the same thing when the last time the lampstand was sold. When I returned, I was thinking about sending it to the north, did the Ye family really have an elder in the capital?

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly came back to his senses.

The house is not the Ye family, where did the ancestors come from.

Wei Huan: "......"

The so-called elders, the so-called unique products...... It's all a price hike routine, right?

Chapter 17

Sent to the capital elders to make a thought at hand, of course, it is all nonsense. The main reason is that Lu Zhixian estimated the price of three hundred taels in public just now, and Ye Fuliu felt that the price was low, so he raised the price slightly.

The old things flowing out of the palace are the most loved by the family. casually transported to the state capital city to change hands, three hundred taels to start, and if you meet someone who knows the goods, five hundred taels is not unsellable.

Ye Fuliu was silent, yawned, and stared at the courtyard wall next door with watery eyes.

Three hundred taels of silver will be considered, and five hundred taels will be sold on the spot. You're making a bid.

It's better to be raw than cooked, she actually has a tendency in her heart, fiddling with the tips of her slender fingers, giving a hint, "What's the matter, Wei Sanlangjun is missing something?" ”

Wei Langjun next door is a smart person. The response was succinct, "Fifty taels of gold." ”

Ye Fuliu smiled.

When it comes to the big customers who are happy, she has always been very happy.

She picked up the cat basin and walked out along the wall, "For the sake of the rare fate of the two neighbors, I won't send it to the north, but leave it to you." Get up and open the door, and I'll send the cat pot. ”

There was no movement next door.

After a moment, Wei Huan's voice replied, "I can't get up. Wait for Wei Da to come back. ”

"Shhh So sick? Ye Fuliu said from the bottom of his heart, "Take care of yourself." Otherwise, I'll ask Qin Long to climb over the wall and send it to you? ”

The next door was silent and said, "The Wei family has a door, and it is better to go in and out." ”

"Okay." Wait.

A hurried sound of horses' hooves galloped from a distance, and suddenly stopped at the door of Wei's house, and the horses neighed incessantly in the middle of the night.

Wei Da finally returned.

There is no shop that is closed for rest that cannot be broken by a piece of gold cake. Wei Da rushed back overnight with two large oiled paper wrapped hibiscus cold cakes made by the Jiang family.

With a rare smile, he wrapped the oiled paper in his hand and entered the Wei family......

Blankly came out with three pieces of gold cake.

Bang bang on the door of the Ye family next door.

Three pieces of gold cakes, forty-eight taels of gold, the Ye family erased the fraction of two taels of gold, and sent a dirty cat porcelain basin that could not see the background color.

The two businesses gave out six gold cakes, and Wei Da's expression was numb.

He shouted frantically in his heart, and he didn't dare to ask more, he said, "Why is Lang Jun interested, fifty taels of gold for a cat basin back?" We don't have cats at home......"

Wei Huan asked for half a basin of water, washed his hands, and personally cleaned the cat basin under the lamp.

After thoroughly wiping off the old dirt, I turned to the bottom of the basin, found three sesame nails, and touched them one by one with nostalgia.

The small cat pot, except for the cat has never been raised, everything is messy.

raising daffodils and loading pebbles; The daffodils bloom for three seasons and are very beautiful.

Raising chickens, ducks. The cat's bowl was filled with water, and the little yellow fluffy cubs were thrown into the water one by one.

Raising pigeons, sprinkling a handful of fine rice, pigeons of various coat colors hula fall from the sky, and their little heads are squeezed to scramble. The wings fluttered and feathers fell all over the ground.

The pigeons quickly get tired of it. Later, he started raising eagles.

The winged eaglet pecks at the meat pieces fiercely. The servants did not dare to come near, and left the cat basin far under the porch. The family knows that it is a special basin for Saburo to raise eagles and put meat, and the eagle falcon protects the food, and no one dares to touch it more.

The thin hand groped along the pelvic floor and found a shallow scratch.

Horizontal, vertical, apostrophe, mention.

The naughty little Langjun in his childhood was once bored at noon and crossed out his name.

"Huan."

Wei Huan stared at the half-scratched scratches under the lamp.

What happened back then, delayed the naughty afternoon, and half of the names were put on hold?

I forgot about it.

"Can I buy pigeons in Wukou Town?" Wei Huan stared at the cat's basin and suddenly asked.
