Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 518
This statement almost convinced everyone who heard it.

The eldest brother asked the corrupt officials why they came in, and whether the people under their rule were really rich.

The corrupt official was silent for a long while, then heaved a long sigh, saying that his desires were hard to fill, he forgot to stop his greed, and forgot his original intention, and was confiscated, but his theory was correct, and the county he governed gradually became a town of hundreds of craftsmen.

The eldest brother shook his head, and said bluntly that it was only because of the needs of the local gentry and merchants that it gradually became a town of hundreds of workers. Advocating for the people does not benefit the people. Instead, the poor people are getting poorer and poorer because of blood sucking by the gentry and landlords.

The corrupt official couldn't refute it, but insisted that he was right, and if his life happened again, he would definitely do well.

There are many people with such a strange perspective. Thieves don’t think they are guilty, but make the best use of other people’s idle things. Robbers follow the laws of nature and believe in the law of the jungle. have.

His eldest brother, who has experienced in such an environment, combined life and the principles of sages, naturally sees it thoroughly and is different from others.

Today's scene with so many people is nothing more than a small scene, and it can't compare to the danger experienced in exile.

At that time, I had just arrived in the place of exile, and I was surrounded by malice everywhere, including the bullying by the prisoners in the prison, and the oppression and torture from time to time by Guo Neng's lackeys outside, which was much more sinister than it is now.

We have all come through, and those sufferings in the past have created today's tenacity.

He believes that as long as their family is alive, there will be no obstacles they cannot overcome, and Guo Neng will get retribution sooner or later.

Lian Bao's eyes burst out with firm confidence, he left the crowd silently, and secretly looked around to see if the fat man he met earlier was still there, but unfortunately he didn't see him all the way, so he guessed he should have left.

He went back to the place where he was weaving rattan, but before he got close, the vendor who sold autumn pear paste saw him from a distance, and greeted him with a very excited expression.

Lian Bao was surprised, the trader also talked to him earlier, he was mostly sympathetic to him, the two of them didn't interact much, he just left for a while, why did he treat him like this.

Before he could approach, the autumn pear ointment vendor greeted him by himself, with a very eager look on his face: "Brother, brother, did you sell this rattan well in the past? No, no, are you doing business for rich households? Check it out." Today, there are many children from rich families, so they come out to open a stall?"

After asking a series of questions, Qiu Li Gao knew that if it sells well, it must not sell well. If you don't do this kind of big business, you can eat it for a few months.

Lian Bao was very puzzled: "Uncle Li, why did you say that?"

The two talked and walked to the side of the basket of rattan.

Uncle Li's eyes gleamed, and he took out the big ingot with his sleeve to cover it, and said very honestly: "brother, this is the silver given by the nobleman who came to buy your rattan. A rattan cane, don’t expose your wealth, so put it away quickly!”

As he spoke, he stuffed it directly into Lian Bao's hand, and then blocked his gaze from outside, urging Lian Bao to put it away.

Lian Bao listened for a long time, looked at the heavy ingot in his hand, and was a little stunned: "Is there really someone buying it?"

He was very surprised, and looked at the braided rattan, and sure enough the best braided one was gone.

He was very surprised, someone had the same hobby as his little sister?

"That's right, he's still a noble son." Uncle Li said eagerly. Seeing Lian Bao's surprised expression, he became anxious: "My good brother, don't pretend to be confused. I'm a poor man who doesn't understand noble people. What, you said your business—”

Afraid of being heard, he paused, looked left and right, and lowered his voice: "Is it related to the upbringing of the dignitaries? Or maybe the rich have some special hobbies that need to be used? Is this just for the nobles?"

As he said that, he gave Lian Bao a look that could only be understood but could not be expressed in words. This was what he wanted to know the most.

Lian Bao understood Uncle Li's meaning in a split second, and she probably wanted to do business with him, and also wanted to do business with him.

He couldn't laugh or cry at once, what was it all about, what he said was so mysterious, he didn't want to do business at all, it was just because he thought that his little sister would like it, and secondly, he knew that no one would buy it so he wouldn't delay the business. It's just a coincidence.

He shook his head helplessly, and opened his mouth to explain a few words, but he didn't expect to be able to sell it.

Hearing what he said, Uncle Li became more and more anxious. He didn't expect to be able to sell that and why he came here to set up a stall. He couldn't justify it, and asked Lianbao if he was afraid that he would spread the word and refused to tell the insider.

Uncle Li hurriedly patted his chest to promise not to tell others, and even willing to pay money to buy the doorway inside.

Lian Bao had no choice but to find a reason to come here to sell goods, and told Uncle Li that her sister had been separated since she was a child, and she came here to set up a stall just to find her sister, hoping to try her luck, this rattan is simple in technique and simple in materials , It's worthless at all, rich people really want to make it, and their own servants can make it, no need to buy it, today it's just luck to be sold at a high price.

Uncle Li's dazed mind finally came to his senses. He was so dazzled by the ingot of silver earlier that he forgot to think about it.

After such an analysis, he woke up completely and was extremely disappointed. He thought he had found a way to get rich, but he didn't expect to fetch water from a bamboo basket.

Lian Bao weighed the money in his hands, grateful for the other party's sincerity, didn't see the money being greedy, took out five taels of silver and gave it to the other party, attributed the credit to the other party, let the other party accept it, and presented an extra piece of braided vine Let the other party take it back and play it for the children at home.

Uncle Li refused again and again, but finally accepted the money in his hand, smiled happily, and gave Lianbao the last few bottles of autumn pear ointment left over from sale.

His autumn pear ointment is made by the secret method handed down from his ancestors. It is boiled with autumn pear, jujube, honey, ginger and other things. thing.

He has a good business mind, Qiuli cream can be sold in a bottle, the bottle is very beautiful, after drinking up the Qiuli cream, the bottle can be reused, and it can also be sent to a girl's house for flower arrangement, or you can buy it without a bottle, and bring your own utensils to store it, the selling price It was lower, so the business was very good. In the end, all the remaining brains were given to Lianbao, and I happily closed the stall and went home.

Lian Bao looked at Uncle Li who was happy to leave, looked at the bottle in his hand, and couldn't help laughing. He just took it back and gave it to his mother to drink. His mother is weak and still recuperating, but she is much better than before. She is in good spirits and is getting better. .

He sat down and followed several intersections. He knew that Guo Neng would not come again, but he was just in case.

He picked up the vines and began to weave them as in the morning. Occasionally, a thought flashed through his mind, guessing who bought his vines.
