Chapter Ninety-One: Casting a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish
Pang Hu and his entourage rushed back to Yuxu Mountain, almost non-stop on the way, always worried that something would go wrong, and they didn't dare to stop too much on the way.
When I arrived at the gate of Pangfu, I saw the vermilion lacquer gate from afar.
A few house slaves led the tired horses and carefully unloaded the luggage and goods into the house.
Pang Hu took the loaded gold and silver jewelry and the rare treasures purchased in the capital to the room to rest for a while.
He washed up carefully, changed into a loose dress, and asked the cook to bring some food to fill his stomach.
When there is wine and meat in his belly, Pang Hu's spirit will be better. Then Pang Hu came to the living room to meet his parents.
After seeing his father, Pang Hu will tell Mrs. Pang about what he saw and heard in the capital.
When Master Pang learned that his son had spent a lot of gold and silver in the capital to buy a necklace of fire fox fur and black pearls, as well as an antique ruby necklace, he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment on his face.
In his opinion, it is reasonable for his son to give a rare gift to his future father-in-law and wife in order to marry Murong Yuxi, but it is not very satisfactory for him to spend a lot of money in order to purchase such an item.
And according to his thoughts, in addition to buying gifts, Pang Hu actually bought an expensive talisman for himself, and he actually spent forty taels of gold to make Master Pang even more dumbfounded.
He couldn't imagine that his son would spend a huge amount of money to get things in order to get what he wanted, which made Master Pang think that Pang Hu was too willful, and he could even be said to be profligate.
Then how dare he hand over the family business to Pang Hu to take care of in the future, you must know that the Pang family has been working hard and thrifty for several generations to accumulate the family business to such an extent.
But Pang Hu did not hesitate to spend money in order to achieve his goal, which cast a shadow on Master Pang's heart.
He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in Pang Hu. Although Pang Hu showed the gold and silver jewelry and those seemingly rare items he bought in the capital in front of Master Pang one by one, many servants who were waiting on the side were amazed by Pang Hu's unique vision and couldn't stop admiring it, but Master Pang only smiled with his head bowed, and he was not very happy in his heart.
After all, these few things cost the Pang family too much silver taels, and even enough for Pang Hu to make a few more trips to the capital to supplement the supply of jewelry stores.
But the silver has already been spent, but Master Pang is a person with a city government, he did not reveal the meaning of blaming Pang Hu in front of everyone, but just instructed Pang Hu with a light expression, and then handed over the jewelry to the Pang family's store to collect and enter the account, and then prepare to sell it on the shelves on a later date.
In addition, the fox fur and black pearl necklace that Pang Hu bought, Master Pang instructed someone to repackage it carefully, and wait until the future to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac and send someone to send it to General Murong's mansion.
As for Pang Hu's ruby necklace that was intended to be used as a talisman, he carefully kept it as a personal object, and if Pang Hu planned to wear it after the consecration, he would be free.
Although Master Pang admired the things purchased by Pang Hu, he did not show a happy and appreciative tone in front of everyone as usual.
Pang Hu thought that his unique vision would attract his father's appreciation, but it was clear that he had disappointed him this time.
Pang Hu thought about it carefully, and wondered if it was because these treasures cost too much silver taels and broke the rules, so his father, who had always advocated thrift and thrift, was disappointed by this.
Therefore, Pang Hu was uneasy in his heart, although the things he bought deserved to be rare and rare, but his father did not necessarily think that it was worth the money.
Pang Hu's heart beat a small drum, and when he watched his father leave the living room silently with his hands behind his back, Pang Hu's face was red and white for a while.
Then he told the servant to pack up his things and put them in the locked locker, and he returned to the room with his head down.
But at this point, it is impossible for him to return to the capital with these things and return them one by one.
Pang Hu was anxious for a while, and he was worried that his father would reconsider the idea of entrusting the Pang family's property to him for this matter in the future, so that he might lose his position as the head of the Pang family.
Pang Hu felt that he was not too impulsive at that time, so he was hot-headed, so he bought these valuable items in a big way.
He began to regret it a little, but after all, the fur and black pearl necklace was to be used to ask the Murong family for marriage, if he didn't come up with such a rare thing, how could he attract General Murong and Yuxi to look at him with admiration?
Pang Hu felt a little contradictory, if he compared these silver taels with the touching Miss Yuxi, then how insignificant this bit of silver would be.
Pang Hu weighed again and again, thinking that there was nothing wrong with his approach, even if it was more than a hundred taels of gold, as long as he could be accompanied by a peerless beauty like Miss Yuxi for life in the future, even if he spent a few hundred taels of gold, it would be worth it!
After all, the father is an elderly person who is used to being diligent and thrifty, but the lifelong happiness of his children is also very important!
Even if he spent a hundred taels of gold, as long as he could win a smile from the beauty, why not do it? If these two rare gifts were delivered to Murong Mansion and thus won the favor of the beauty, wouldn't he Pang Hu pick up a big bargain.
Pang Hu sat in the room and found almost a hundred reasons to convince himself, and finally he thought that although his father Mrs. Pang was a little dissatisfied with this, as long as the matter was reached in the future, the two families successfully married their families, and when the parents hugged their fat grandson as they wished, then this matter was just a small episode, and maybe this matter would become a beautiful conversation.
Pang Hu's wishful thinking crackled, no matter how he calculated, he felt that he had not suffered a loss, even if it was a talisman purchased with a lot of money, in the future, when someone with knowledge identified it and found that it was a rare antiquity of great value, maybe the price would rise.
If someone who knows the goods is willing to pay several times more than the price to buy, my father will definitely be impressed by this.
Pang Hu thinks that he is not wrong, no matter how he looks at it, he has a point. You must know that in his eyes, whether it is business or life, you can't be short-sighted, just look at such a little interest in front of you, it is not advisable.
You must know that if you want to do big things, you have to take a long-term view, which is the so-called long-term fishing for big fish.
Pang Hu was bored, he was very disappointed with his father's performance, and his father did not understand his true thoughts this time, nor did he show support for him, but made him feel uneasy.
Pang Hu felt a little tired after running all the way, so he fell asleep on the bed.
The light outside the window gradually dimmed, and Pang Hu didn't get up to eat with his family, but just slept with his head covered.
He was really tired, after nearly ten days of traveling, he didn't dare to relax for the safety of the goods along the way, and he didn't dare to sleep until he arrived home safely now
