Chapter 14 Business
And at this moment, in Caifeng's room, Caifeng, who is always graceful, is now roaring angrily: "What do you want to do with the dead girl?
Qingluan said in a low voice: "I want to accompany you." ”
"Accompany me?!I'm just a concubine when I enter the Pan Mansion, what are you going to do, you say!"
"I'll still be a girl for you, at your beckon. ”
"You don't owe me, and I don't want you, you let me go!"
Qingluan just shook his head and didn't speak. Caifeng hated it very much, raised her hand and waved it over, Qingluan just lowered her head and didn't hide, Caifeng's hand stopped on Qingluan's face, tears had flowed down, and she said weakly: "You stupid, you don't know how difficult it is to meet such a person!"
Qingluan grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "It's enough for me to have a young lady." ”
Caifeng's heart gradually calmed down, but she had a new idea in her heart.
The big ship entered Jinling at nearly noon and anchored at the Pingjin ferry, and the people on board breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how beautiful the scenery on the road is, the feeling of not touching the ground is enough. When I got off the boat and landed, I felt that my legs were a little weak.
A row of carriages has been waiting for a long time, just waiting for everyone to get off the boat, two people and one car, all pulled to the largest inn in Jinling City, facing the Qinhuai River, opposite the place of the flowers and willows.
Jin Shengjie greeted him, and was about to leave to report the good news to his old man, he had done this thing, and he had invited everything he should have invited.
Pan Yu stopped him and said, "Brother Jin, Ling Zun is in Jinling City now?"
Jin Shengjie was depressed when he saw Pan Yu, and now everyone can see that Caifeng girl is now in the bag of this jade son, that is, she drinks evenly, and everyone dares not make too much jokes with Caifeng. Although she is just a concubine when she enters the Pan family, she will definitely not be able to be a lady, but who knows what Pan Yu thinks?
But Jin Shengjie is also a very open character, and said politely: "My father is in Jinling City, and I will hold a banquet tonight to invite everyone, is there anything wrong with Brother Pan?"
Pan Yu smiled and said, "There is a business matter. Seeing that Jin Shengjie looked a little disapproving, he added: "It is also very helpful to Jin Gong's plan to go to sea." ”
Jin Shengjie didn't dare to be careless at this time, although he didn't care about family affairs, he also knew that this trip to sea was related to the Jin family's anger for decades. Any information that would be helpful for this voyage must not be missed.
Jin Shengjie stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Pan, please." ”
Xu Xian saw the two of them leaving from the window, and he couldn't help but have more expectations in his heart. He didn't know much about telescopes and artificial crystals, but he had the core principles.
The so-called telescope is the combination of two concave lenses and convex lenses, although he does not know the specific proportion, but under the ancient experimental science, it must not be difficult to get good results.
Artificial crystal is to add 24% lead oxide in the process of making glass, this thing was called "Tantric monk" in ancient times, and it should also be available in this world, but again, this test is probably a lot more than that of a telescope. But if the two can be combined, high-magnification telescopes can be easily made.
He has told Pan Yu all these things, and with Pan Yu's intelligence, he will naturally understand it as soon as he hears it. The value of these two things was big enough to make anyone's heart move, but Xu Xian instinctively didn't have the slightest suspicion of Pan Yu. just sat obediently in the room and waited for Pan Yu's good news, and this level of trust was sometimes a little strange even for himself. Pan Yu was even more moved.
It was almost evening, in the Jin Mansion, the old lady Jin, who was known as Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged, was full of excitement at the moment. "Mr. Pan, if you can get this artifact, you will have a better chance of winning this time, and the old man is grateful. ”
When Pan Yu arrived at this, Jin Wan was skeptical, but immediately ordered to make this style of glass. In just one afternoon, I really took out dozens of regular-shaped concave and convex mirrors and tried them on the spot, which was really magical. The old man couldn't speak with this thing.
Pan Yu smiled: "This is the attention of Hanwen, I just came to help him say it, if it can meet your mind, of course it is good, but such a thing should be kept secret." She was not afraid that this old man would deny it if he mastered this technique, on the one hand, Jin Wancheng's excellent reputation for decades, and on the other hand, by virtue of his own identity.
Jin Wancheng heard the strings and knew that "this is natural, please thank Xu Gongzi, last time Xu Gongzi recaptured the black diamond for me, and this time he also prepared a gift to thank you, but now it seems that it is really too far away, if you can make the second thing that Xu Gongzi said, Xu Gongzi must be indispensable." ”
The production of this artificial crystal must not be as noisy as a telescope, you have to find a secret room and ask the most trusted old technician to slowly test, if it can be done, what is the difference between this and turning stones into gold. If it weren't for the high requirements for technology, even Pan Yu would want to do it himself, as another source of wealth for the Pan family.
Then Pan Yu and Jin Wancheng carefully discussed the operation method and the proportion of the commission, and then left the production method of the artificial crystal that Xu Xian taught her to Jin Wancheng. Of course, all this is in an extremely harmonious atmosphere, little by little, even if the bargaining is full of words, the two of them are full of spring breeze.
Jin Shengjie watched from the sidelines, and saw that Pan Yu was talking and laughing with the old man with a completely equal attitude, or current affairs in Beijing, or the military horses in the border area, it seemed that there were endless topics.
Jin Shengjie could see that the old man's praise was from the heart. His heart is full of taste, why can some people be perfect in all aspects? He thinks that he is also a great person, but he meets Xu Xian and Pan Yu.
Xu Xian made a poem that made him feel that the hundreds of words he had done before were rubbish, and coming up with a note could increase the chances of winning the gambling related to his own luck. Pan Yu's appearance made him a little ashamed, and his talent was even more difficult for ordinary people to learn, and he easily took away Caifeng, which he couldn't get with countless efforts, and Xu Xian, a person who was not as good as himself, could actually get the favor of Qingluan, and he was almost beaten by Qingluan some time ago.
The second son of Jin has always looked at people from top to bottom, and he is not convinced by his peers. But now he found that there were two people who had to look up to him, and only he could know the complexities in his heart.
"Uncle Jin, it's not too early, the little nephew will retire first, and I'll see you at dinner. ”
Jin Wancheng stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, you go and report the good news to Xu Xian's nephew first, and I will personally thank you in the evening." Suddenly remembered something, "By the way, there is another thing, the old man originally wanted to give it in person, but now he can't take it, so you will transfer it to Xu Xian's nephew!"
As he spoke, he ordered someone to take a brocade box and hand it to Pan Yu, who took it and put it in his arms, saluted the two and left. It is also an unexpected joy to be able to take advantage of this matter to get in touch with the Jin family, even if it is to go to Chibi with this Jin Gongzi, it is just a general friendship, which is like now, it really involves a more core issue.
If he can really pull Jin Wancheng, the old fox, onto his own boat, it will be a great help to the Pan family, and it will also be of great benefit to his reputation in the faction, and it is Xu Xian who helped him, in addition to calculation and joy, his heart is a little sweeter.
Jin Wancheng paced a few more steps in the hall before the joy on his face slowly faded and he fell into deep thought.
Jin Shengjie couldn't help but say, "Dad, what telescope really has such a big effect?"
Jin Wanwei wanted to take the opportunity to reprimand him, but seeing that he had a trace of depression on his face, his tone slowed down: "Yes, this thing is really beneficial to use on the sea, it is said to be a success, but if it really encounters an incident, I am afraid that it will be an opportunity to determine success or failure." ”
Jin Shengjie sighed and said, "Dad, you are really good eyesight, these two people really must be invited." He hesitated and said, "I'm useless." ”
"I don't ask you Xu Xian to have so many wonderful ideas, but as long as I have half of Pan Yu's responsibility, I will be satisfied. ”
"Responsible?" Jin Shengjie was speechless for a while.
"Do you think that if you don't fight with your eldest brother, you are humble and don't want fame and fortune? ”
Jin Shengjie laughed and said: "I am famous in Jinling City, I want to marry Su Jin, you didn't stop me, how can I say that I dare not fight?"
"I'm not angry that you married a few bitches and came home, but now? You can't even take on a few bitches, how can you take on such a big family business?"
Jin Shengjie thought for a while and said, "I don't understand. ”
"It's better to not understand than to pretend to understand, you have gone too smoothly since you were a child, it's not something I can point out with a few words, one day, you have to understand if you don't understand, go ahead, go and entertain your group of friends!"
Jin Shengjie walked out of the door, looked up at the sky red by the setting sun, and for the first time had a trace of doubt about his life, but this doubt was quickly left behind, if he didn't understand, he didn't understand, and it was in vain to barely understand.
Pan Yu walked back to the room and smiled at Xu Xian: "It's done, you have to control the quantity at the beginning, and the sales won't be too big, but you can probably have an income of 100,000 taels this year." ”
Xu Xian put his mind at ease, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "That's good." But he didn't ask in detail.
Pan Yu was grateful for his trust and admired his composure, he was worthy of being the person he liked, but he didn't know that Xu Xian was poor and rich, and the number was large to a certain extent, but he had no sense of reality.
Pan Yu took out the brocade box again and said, "This is what the old man Jin gave you." ”
Xu Xian opened it and saw that it was a completely transparent diamond, although it was smaller than the black diamond, it was definitely worth a lot. Pan Yu also leaned over to take a look, "Is this the carefully polished diamond?
Looking at the brilliant diamond in his hand, Xu Xian couldn't help but think of someone, Yu Xuanji, is the retreat over now?
gave the diamond to Pan Yu again, Pan Yu was surprised: "Give it to me?" and was very happy in his heart.
Xu Xian nodded and smiled: "Yes, last Lantern Festival, that Caifeng girl seemed to like diamonds very much, you can give her to please her!"
Pan Yu muttered, "You are so considerate!"
