Chapter 146

"Ah!" The middle-aged servant woman instinctively exhaled out of the shock and coldness that sent chills down her spine, as if being stared at by a fierce tiger.

Gu Qi curled up his mouth and let out a sneer, then withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at her.

On the contrary, Liu Qingshan heard the movement, followed the sound, and frowned slightly when he saw the servant woman, with a bit of displeasure on his face.

After the two of them turned around the corner corridor, Liu Qingshan asked: "Mr. Fang was just outside the door to embarrass you?"

"Not really." Gu Qi shook his head.Although the look in the servant girl's eyes and the expression on her face really made people feel uncomfortable, but it's really hard to say it was embarrassing.

"That's the old lady sent by Yu's family. She has only been here for four or five days. It's really troublesome." Liu Qingshan spat impatiently and didn't elaborate.

Gu Qi didn't ask any further questions, anyway, it's not his own business, so he can't control it.

Soon Liu Qingshan led Gu Qi into the study.In the study room, Zhou Li was writing a letter at the desk, and the one who was helping to polish the ink was the valet whom he had met a few times before.

"Why are you here? Sit down for a while, and I'll talk to you after I finish writing this letter." After finishing speaking, Zhou Li turned sideways and ordered another servant to serve tea and cakes.

Gu Qi was not in a hurry, so while drinking tea, he idly looked around at the furnishings in the study.

This study is not big, and the layout is quite satisfactory.In addition to the desk and the square table and chairs for entertaining guests, there are two other bookshelves and a bogus shelf.There are a lot of books on the bookshelf, stuffed to the brim.It's just that it's obviously just been put up not long ago, almost all of them are brand new, and there are not many traces of flipping through them.

But what attracted Gu Qi's attention at this time was the decorations on the shelf.

Gu Qi doesn't know much about this.Although I also took a few orders related to antique jewelry in the previous life, and I also studied it for a period of time, it's just that the water is deep, and it's not something a beginner can master in a few days.

Of course, this does not prevent Gu Qi from staring intently at a crabapple red disc right now.

Bull blood pattern, with a hint of murderous look in the dark part, the hair color and texture are just right.

"Even if you have a lot of wealth, it is not as good as a piece of Jun porcelain." '

It really looks like a Jun kiln from the Song/Huizong period.

"Why, do you recognize this crabapple plate?" Zhou Li sorted out the letters, put down his pen and walked over:

"This is the Juntai kiln from the previous dynasty. I just received it from a family last month. It cost me a lot of money, why don't you help me take a look, is it true?"

It turned out to be a Jun kiln, but it's a pity that this is not Da/Song, and even the former dynasty that has collapsed is not called Da/Song.

Gu Qi thought about it and shook his head with a chuckle: "I don't understand this, it's just a layman watching the excitement."

After all, Gu Qi directly stated his intention: "I came here to ask you to borrow money. I need 500 taels of silver. I came out in a hurry yesterday and didn't bring it with me. How many days later will I pay you back?"

"500 taels? It's quite a lot." Zhou Li sat aside, and asked with a smile, "Could it be that you're interested in some new deal? We're also considered grasshoppers on the same rope now, remember to bring me a good deal if you have a good deal?"

What an old fox!Gu Qi gritted his teeth, and briefly talked about what happened in the horse market.

Zhou Li couldn't help but change his expression after hearing this: "Is it really Ahalma? Are you reading that right?"

Seeing Gu Qi nodding, Zhou Li squinted his eyes: "If it's really Ahalma, as long as it's handled properly, it won't be a problem to double it by three to five times. Do you plan to keep it for yourself, or change hands immediately?"

"Keep it for now, wait two years to see the situation and make a move." Gu Qi said.

"You've just come of age, so it doesn't matter if you stay for two years." Zhou Li nodded, but then smiled and said, "Whoever sees it has a share. I can lend you 500 taels of silver, but you have to lend me your horse for a few days."

Gu Qi cast a glance at Zhou Li, "What are you borrowing for?"

If it's too troublesome, it's better to go to Xiaoqi Village overnight and ask the scholar to collect the movable money on the account first.Although doing so, it will be somewhat troublesome for the market, and it will be difficult to deal with the accounts.

"Don't worry, I just borrowed it to support my face. There will be a banquet of hundreds of treasures in Jiangling County in a few days. The host is Dr. Zi Guanglu, a former Zhu Jin who retired from the capital. Almost everyone in Jiangling County All the famous and famous people were invited.

Our Zhou family is just a newcomer in Jiangling County, and this time we are only going to join in the fun. It would be better if we can open up some more connections. "

As Zhou Li said, she calmly and gracefully fetched tea for herself, took a sip, and continued: "To tell you the truth, the crabapple plate from Juntai Kiln was also specially collected for this matter.

However, no matter how cherished the crabapple dish of Juntai kiln is, it cannot compare with the Ahalma, which is worth a thousand gold. "

"Although it's an Ahalma, it's unknown if it doesn't really travel thousands of miles a day." Gu Qiru said truthfully.

Ahal horses are just a general category. Although they are precious, there is no guarantee that every Ahal horse can become a top BMW that is hard to find.

Otherwise, even if those people really don't understand Dakang's market, they can't find a better channel for a while.It is not enough to price an Ahal horse at a mere 500 taels of silver.

There is naturally a certain element of gambling in this.

Zhou Li put down the teacup, but smiled lightly, "I'm just going to a banquet of treasures, not really going to a horse race. As long as I have a good name, and let someone make up a passable statement, fool me It is enough to fool those literati and merchants."

Ah!
These words really made Gu Qi couldn't help laughing at his birth.

This guy Zhou Li looks like a dog, and he is exquisite in his clothes, clothes, food and drinks. When an ordinary person sees him for the first time, he will only think that this person is a handsome, gentleman like a unparalleled young man in a troubled world.

In fact, Zhou Li is a master who is more cunning than a fox in his bones, and he has won the essence of a businessman's "need both face and lining, as long as the lining is rich enough, face is not necessary".

Gu Qi relaxed his shoulders, leaned on the back of the chair, looked up at Zhou Li: "I can lend you the horse, but."

Gu Qi didn't continue to say the following words, but Zhou Li knew it clearly: "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer.

I will borrow your 500 taels of silver, don't rush to pay it back, promise a one-year term.It's only two per cent. "

"You still have to calculate the interest?" Gu Qi couldn't help but stare.

How could this person know the word 'Huaishu'?As far as this level of stinginess is concerned, why should the word 'papi' be appropriate.

Zhou Li smiled indifferently and said: "Brothers will settle accounts clearly. Two percent interest is already low enough. It is also because of the good friendship between you and me. In the past, I borrowed money from my cousin, and at least one percent interest .”

"Hehe." Gu Qi sneered: "Do you know how much money I spent trying the horse today?
A test ride is a trial horse money of three taels of silver.If you want to take the horse to Jiangling County, it will take at least seven or eight days to go back and forth.This rental fee, does it have to be calculated carefully? "

"." Zhou Li didn't speak, and tapped his fingers on the table habitually.

"One year, not counting interest, I will borrow you to support the scene. This deal is good enough." Gu Qi leaned on the handrail, and said unhurriedly: "If you don't want to, I can collect the money myself, and it's not impossible to get it out. .”

 Thanks to "Axu Jumei" for the reward (100), "Uncle Bao is here" for the reward (200), and thanks to "taoyixin" for the monthly pass
