Chapter XVII: Thirty Thousand Taels of Silver
Wang Li was a little dazed, it was really difficult for him to make a bid, he didn't know the price level, he only went to buy medicinal materials with Kong Chengshi and Kong Chengfu, and saw that they sold more than 180 taels of silver at once.
Although it cost 500 wen to buy ready-to-wear this morning, ready-to-wear has always been expensive, and it will be much cheaper if you buy your own cloth to make clothes.
Kong Chengshi knew Wang Li's difficulties, and said: "If Jin Feng really likes it, just make a price, since I came to you with Xiaoli, it is because I can trust you, you and I have been friends for so many years, do you still have to beat around the bush?"
Xu Hongyuan smiled and shook his head, "With our friendship, you still don't help me, Zhengting, you......"
Kong Chengshi disagreed, "I'm talking about business, this is called sincerity." ”
Xu Hongyuan put the cup on the table, thought for a while, and then said: "Since Zhengting has said it, in business, I am not ambiguous, I have never seen a jade transparent person in my life, this cup should be the only one in the world, I will pay 30,000 taels of silver, I don't know what Xiaoyou wants?"
Hearing the number of 30,000 taels, Wang Li's breath was suffocated.
Kong Chengshi saw that Wang Li didn't speak, thinking that Wang Li was dissatisfied with the price, and explained: "The price of 30,000 taels of silver is indeed kind enough, the price of Dayao is not high, ordinary people can already feed a family of five with an annual income of 20 taels, although this crystal cup is peculiar, but it is not as good as the best Yan Luo Yu, most of the ordinary and high-grade Yan Luo Yu is between 100 taels and 1,000 taels, and there are also those who are transparent like water, and the cap is only more than 5,000 taels, not to mention that in Yucheng, it is also possible to buy a courtyard in the capital." ”
When Xu Hong and Kong Chengshi met in Qingyun Tower before, they learned that Wang Li was not a person from Da Yao, and knew why he would say it in such detail.
Wang Li roughly understood the level of the price, and hurriedly got up and arched his hand to the two of them: "In this way, Wang Li has thanked Xu Yaoshou! Thank you Brother Shi for your help." ”
"Dingli...... Haha, Xiaoyou's literary talent is amazing!"
The two traded successfully, Xu Hongyuan was very happy in his heart, and when he heard Wang Li say the words of his ears, he was quite amazed after chewing carefully.
Kong Chengshi and Xu Hongyuan are both scholars, so they naturally have a deep understanding of these.
Wang Li realized that he used the language of his previous life, and he couldn't stand the praise of Xu Yaoshou, and said: "Picking up people's teeth and wisdom, Wang Li is really ashamed to be praised by Xu Yaoshou." ”
Kong Chengshi said with a smile: "I have read poetry and books, and it is indeed the first time I have seen someone say this, Xiaoli does not have to be modest." ”
Xu Hongyuan said: "Xiaoyou is humble and commendable, unlike my second son, who began to look at no one when he gained a little fame. ”
He was talking about Xu Junyan.
Wang Li didn't know who Xu Yaoshou was talking about, so he didn't answer, Xu Hongyuan didn't pause, and continued: "I'll exchange the 30,000 taels of silver for a silver ticket for you, if it's not easy to carry into silver, you have to worry about thieves, what do you think?"
Seeing that Kong Chengshi was not unusual, Wang Li said: "It's all up to Xu Yaoshou's arrangement." ”
Xu Hongyuan nodded and called "Qinyue", and then a delicate young maid walked into the room, curiously glanced at Wang Li and Kong Chengshi, who were personally entertained by the master, and then lowered his brows, stood in front of Xu Hongyuan, and shouted to the master.
Xu Hongyuan instructed: "You go to my house and get a silver ticket of 30,000 taels of silver, and by the way, bring a small wooden box, which is enough to hold this water cup." ”
gave Qin Yue a bunch of keys, and waved her to go.
When Qin Yue walked out of the study, Kong Cheng Shi Fang smiled and said, "This is what you said to me before......"
"Hey, this will be much better, the city was full of storms a while ago, and everyone knows it. ”
Xu Hongyuan put his hand on the armrest of the circle chair, raised his brows and sighed, "That rebel, alas, also blame me for not being strict in discipline, even if he can't walk on the right path, I want him to be safe and smooth for the rest of his life, who would have thought that he was smooth, but my heart is not smooth." ”
Wang Li was a little inexplicable, and it took a while to understand.
It turned out that this Xu Yaoshou had two sons, the eldest son Xu Junshuo and the second son Xu Junyan, one was born by his wife, and the other was born as a concubine.
Xu Hongyuan has a lot of harsh rebuke to Xu Junyan, and he doesn't show half of his love and concern, but he often mentions his second son with others.
The eldest son Xu Junshuo is an elm head, he can't go on the road, and he is not qualified to enter the Qingyu Pavilion, Xu Hongyuan originally wanted him to be an ordinary person, and his family background can also make him worry-free for the rest of his life.
Who would have expected that not long ago, he and Xu Guo got together, and was instigated by Xu Guo to go to Qingyun Building to tease Xu Junyan's singer Qin Yue, who knew that Xu Junshuo was not a good person, so he couldn't excuse himself.
Xu Junshuo was anxious and wanted to use force, but it happened that Xu Junyan arrived one step later, and he was furious when he saw this, when he had already won the test, it was when he was in high spirits, he was not afraid of the straw bag brother, and scolded Xu Junshuo.
was coldly spoken by his own brother-in-law, which made Xu Junshuo, who failed to succeed, lose face and was very embarrassed, coupled with the instigation of Xu Qian, he finally couldn't help but fight in Qingyun Tower, Xu Junyan was beaten, and he scuffled with Xu Junshuo in humiliation.
That's it, at most, it can be regarded as a mess among the children, and the ugliness of the family is publicized, but it is a coincidence that it was the Taishou banquet that day, Liu Yan had just taken office, and he invited the officials to a banquet in Qingyun Tower. Hearing the unusual noise downstairs, I sent someone to ask the reason, and I was very unhappy when I learned about the situation, and after knowing that one of them was still the first to try to be the first saint scholar, he was furious and said: "This saint scholar is the name of the saint, and I hope that he will work hard and be reborn under the palace in the future, and he should be an example of a city scribe, but I didn't expect to be here for a singer to quarrel like this, it is really humiliating!"
Xu Hongyuan and Xu Lin were at the banquet, Xu Hongyuan was disgraced by this incident, and sent someone to recall Xu Junshuo and Xu Junyan.
It's just that a wave has just calmed down, and a wave has risen, and rumors suddenly circulated in the market that Xu Hongyuan's two sons were in Qingyun Tower.
Unbearable rumors, Xu Hongyuan didn't want the Xu family to be infamy, so he simply ransomed himself for Qin Yue and accepted him as a maid, and it was rumored that Xu Junyan would be married to him as a concubine after the official election of the Wen Palace, so the rumors were stopped.
Xu Hongyuan said to Kong Chengshi: "I don't know who is doing this to my Xu family, with vicious intentions, taking advantage of the fact that the bandit has just been canonized, he is so scheming, it is really resentful!"
He felt that someone was deliberately spreading rumors to ruin Xu Junyan's reputation.
Kong Chengshi said: "I'm afraid that this person still has a backhand, Jin Feng has to be cautious!"
At this time, Na Qinyue walked back to the house with a dark red wooden box, and after placing the wooden box on the table, she stood quietly beside Xu Hongyuan.
"Jun Shuo has been locked up by me, if there is a backhand, I will definitely find out this sinister person!"
Xu Hongyuan opened the wooden box, took out a stack of yellow tickets from it, first clicked it for confirmation, and then handed it to Wang Li, saying, "You count it, 30,000 taels is exactly right." Bao Tailong's banknotes, the right at sight, but you have to pay one hundred and two when you exchange them. ”
Wang Li took the silver bill, the banknote paper was rough, the banknote was printed with blue patterns, the date of issue was written on the left, the ticket number was written on the right, and the blue characters of "three thousand taels of silver with a foot color" were written in the middle, and there was a mottled square stamp directly below, and the nicks were messy.
A pile of three thousand taels of bills, listening to Xu Hongyuan said, this exchange of silver two to draw two percent of the fee, which means that only 29,400 taels to get in hand, but it's okay, a water cup can be sold at this equivalent price, it is already made Wang Li overjoyed, as for the mobile phone, Wang Li does not plan to sell it, but also to keep it as a thought, to chat to comfort the past in the previous life.
The ten silver tickets were very heavy in his hand, he didn't think that Xu Hongyuan had deceived him, Kong Chengshi and Xu Hongyuan had never seen the water cup before, and there was no reason to harm himself, he put away the silver tickets, got up and thanked Xu Hongyuan: "Thank you Xu Yaoshou." ”
Xu Hongyuan motioned for him to sit down, put the water cup in the brocade of the wooden box, and said: "No need to thank you, I still have to thank you, this treasure can't be measured by money, thanks to you, I can get this treasure, haha!"
Knowing what Xu Hongyuan said, Wang Li chuckled twice, and Kong Chengshi beside him said: "This Bao Tailong has a semicolon in Yucheng, just north of Qingyun Tower, not far from Bao Qi Fang. This was to introduce Wang Li's situation to Bao Tailong, and after speaking, he got up and said: "Jin Feng, it's not early, I have to go back, and I have to go to Taishou Mansion with Cheng Fu in the afternoon." ”
The two have a good relationship, and Kong Chengshi doesn't care about red tape.
"Is it so urgent? Taishoufu is on the opposite street, why don't you stay together for a light meal, you and I will drink and talk happily, isn't it beautiful?"
Kong Chengshi said: "Jin Feng doesn't have to be retained, there is really something important to do, he will meet again in the future, I will have fun with you!"
"Then, how about Xiaoyou stay in the Mansion and drink with me?"
Knowing that it was true to keep Kong Chengshi, and it was polite to keep himself, Wang Li politely rejected Xu Hongyuan. Seeing that he couldn't keep it, Xu Hongyuan had no choice but to send the two to the front of the house, watching the two go away and not return for a long time.
"Brother Shi, is Xu Yaoshou the head of Yulutang Chengtang?" After leaving the mansion, Wang Li relieved himself, recovered from the huge shock of obtaining a huge amount of money, and suddenly pondered Xu Hongyuan's identity.
"Well, what's wrong? Jin Feng and I grew up together, and when we were young, we went to school together, and we were my best friends. Haha, Xiaoli, now you have a huge amount of money, no matter what, it's not that you can't stretch out your hands and feet in Da Yao, haha. ”
Wang Li smiled bitterly, "Come on, Brother Shi, I saw that you and Brother Fu went to sell medicinal herbs yesterday and sold more than a hundred taels of silver." ”
Kong Chengshi laughed, "Although it is not a precious medicinal material, it is also relatively rare, before Cheng Fu unintentionally picked some in Xiaoman Mountain, he didn't expect the price to be so high, so he started to collect it, such a large amount took us a year." It's hard to pick it again in the future. You, you take care of the use of this silver, and you will have no worries for the rest of your life!"
Wang Li touched his nose, grinned a few times, and said, "I have to go and exchange some silver, and by the way, I have to make up for Brother Shi's ten taels of silver, and I have to go to the government to report to the courtyard, so I also have roots in Yucheng." ”
Speaking of the courtyard, Kong Chengshi said: "You still have to be on guard against that situation, the Xu family is not a decent person, the deed can do too much, if he is in a hurry, you can let go, and now you are not the one who is poor for the house." Let a sleeping dog lie. ”
Wang Li knew what was going on, although he was not afraid of the situation, but under Kong Chengshi's concern, he still nodded and said, "Wang Li knows." ”
