The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 122 Pre-sale
The melon-eating crowd continued to besiege Jingzhao Mansion, with so many people watching, He Qingtian was even more cautious.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor sealed the pen.

In the past few days, the largest Duobao Pavilion in the capital city has given out two unique viewing tickets to businesses and nobles in Beijing, claiming that there are rare treasures on display, and inviting everyone to enjoy them.

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, on the first day, dignitaries and dignitaries are invited, and there is a time limit on the viewing ticket.

From Jishi to Youshi, each person's viewing time is half an hour.

These tickets alone have earned enough attention, curiosity, who doesn't have it!It is very rare in the capital to engage in such a big battle.

On this day, before the time came, there was already a lot of traffic in front of the Duobao Pavilion, and the merchant also had special servants to help maintain order and guide the cars and horses to park.

When the time came, the shopkeeper who smiled like Maitreya Buddha stood in front of the gate and bowed his hands to everyone:
"Thank you for coming to this pavilion, and let the store flourish! The exhibition of treasures in this pavilion will last for two days. Please enter the venue according to the time of the ticket. I wish you all a rewarding return!"

The waiters stood on both sides of the gate with wide smiles and began to check the tickets, only recognizing the tickets but not the people.

A son in front of the queue said with disdain on his face: "Master, I want to see what kind of tricks your family is doing, and there is a time limit. If the things are not good, I will destroy your signboard!"

In addition to the dignitaries, there are many civilians who don’t have tickets and are watching and eating melons. Some people cheer:
"Young master, hurry up and take a look, come out and tell us, what kind of treasures are displayed in Duobao Pavilion this time!"

"That's right, that's right, we can wait! Young Master, thanks to you, we will keep our eyes open."

Young Master was triumphant, and walked in first, someone recognized him, and asked others in a low voice: "Isn't this the current Duke Cheng'en?"

"It's him. I've heard that he is the son and grandson of the Xu family, but he doesn't look like the Xu family!"

"What is the Xu family like?"

"When the old man was there, all the children of their family were leaders in the army, good sons who defended their homes and the country."

"It's a pity, their family is full of loyalty."

"What's the use of this? In this generation, there are only a few useless ones left. Hey, it's hard to say, hard to say."

Xu Maodong, a 15-year-old boy, is now Cheng Engong, the bastard son of Xu Shangshu's bastard son.

His direct brother and other cousins ​​all went to the northern border for training in those years, which was a compulsory course for Xu's male Ding before he became an adult.

It's a pity that he didn't come back. The rest are all girls in the first branch, and he is the oldest in the second branch.

He really stood out from the crowd of dwarves and pushed him out to be the Duke of the country. However, his aunt didn't want to see him, and few in the whole house regarded him as a prince.

Mrs. Xu is now only waiting for him to become an adult so that she can marry him and have children, and then adopt her grandson.

Although he has the title of Lord Cheng'enguo, he won't be allowed to receive the annual salary. The mansion only gives him 50 taels of money every month. His position at home is very embarrassing. He might not be as good as Xu Mengniang, his cousin, who has the right to speak.

No one is supporting him in the mansion, he is very willing to be outside, being stalked by a group of people, and when he returned to the mansion yesterday, he heard the concierge discussing how could he miss the excitement in the capital?

For the first time, he put up the airs of the Duke of the State, got two viewing tickets, and was very proud: I still don't believe that I can't deal with a few slaves!
Following him in was the second master of the Duke of Wei's mansion, Gao Huaipei, who was the person in charge of general affairs of the Gao family. He knew that this was a gimmick made by the emperor, and the Duke of Wei's mansion must come to support him sooner.

The rest of the Hou's Mansion and Bo's Mansion also came, and they were all arranged in the first wave.

After Xu Maodong went in for a while, he was dumbfounded. His family used to be a branch of the family, and his mother was still a housekeeper. How could he have seen so many good things? How could half an hour be enough for him to read them all.

However, the cheapest set of porcelain cost 100 taels of silver, and he couldn't just buy it casually.

The people who went in gently picked up the porcelain and played with it, and looked at the light for a while. It can be seen that no one would dislike such an elegant blue.

The man from Duke Wei's mansion next to him placed a series of orders without blinking his eyes. After all, he must have several thousand taels of silver. The same is the Duke's mansion, so why is there such a big gap?

Before he was finished, someone placed an order again: "Shopkeeper, this number is No. 30, give me one set for each set, when will you be able to deliver the goods at the earliest?"

The shopkeeper Maitreya Buddha smiled and said: "The first order will be delivered first, the earliest batch will be available within a month, but it will have to wait until the Chinese New Year is over, and the first batch will be shipped in the second ten days of Silkworm Moon."

"Okay, then I'll make a deposit right now, and you'll bring me home when you arrive."

"Okay, Mr. Wang, as soon as the goods arrive, I'll send them to your house, Xiaoer, modify the data, the first 98 sets, only [-] sets left!"

This made the people who came in behind a little nervous. They didn't bother to take a closer look, they just fell in love with it at a glance, and hurriedly placed an order, for fear that it would be out of stock in a while.

Xu Maodong finally ordered a set of blue-and-white porcelain accessories, which were considered the cheapest among them, a set of 20 taels of silver, and this was to be given to a certain girl with whom he had a hot fling recently.

He thought beautifully: This is not easy for ordinary people to buy. His Jiaojiao has seen it, so don't praise him. If you praise him, he may be able to, hehe.

The price of blue and white porcelain ornaments is cheap, and the quantity is also large. Almost everyone who comes in can buy a few sets. Who doesn't have a wife and mother? This color can be worn by anyone.

There are many children in the family, and those piggy banks, nesting dolls, small plates, small bowls, etc. also come in a few sets. Of course, the father can't be partial.

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, in just one day, Duobao Pavilion said 10 taels of silver for the deposit, which drove the shopkeeper crazy.

The Xue family soon got the news. Just hearing the appearance, texture and color of the porcelain described by the people who had seen those porcelains, Xue's family understood that with their family's level, they might not be able to do it in 100 years. Come out with this kind of porcelain.

"Brother, I understand that this blue and white porcelain is made by Uncle Zhongqin, and it is now included in the official kiln by the imperial court."

"Uncle Zhongqin? Wasn't this kid doing some kind of toilet before? He has mud legs, where did he get the ability to burn porcelain?"

"Brother, you forgot, this toilet is also made of ceramics. They started with cement, and the kiln is much more work than us."

"This, this, he is revenge!"

"He must have done it on purpose. Last time his mother-in-law got a bad reputation, she must have put it on us! Big brother, we are suffering from the fish in the pond!"

The Patriarch of the Xue family was as angry as a puffer fish, but he didn't eat the mutton, so he made a fuss all over.

This Uncle Zhongqin is too insignificant. If you don't take a concubine, you don't take a concubine. No one forced him to do it. He just came back like this. What can the Xue family do?

In the Palace of Mercy Ning, a group of servants are trembling, and the Holy Empress Dowager is furious:
"He's slapping his family's face! Very good, really great!" The Empress Dowager Shangsheng didn't expect that Uncle Zhongqin would leave the stage in person to cheer for his wife.

"Is this Xue family still usable? Ah! Tell his master about useless things. If their daughter-in-law doesn't enter Uncle Zhongqin's mansion before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Ai's family will let them go." Get out of the capital!"

The dowry mother can only act according to the rules. Although she is not very optimistic about the Xue family, the queen mother is so angry that she has no rules, and she dare not make mistakes.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, merchants gathered together, and it must be these experts who can see the value of this blue and white porcelain.

Without blinking an eye, a group of people wrapped up all the goods. It only took a whole morning, and the afternoon ones haven't come yet.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to apologize to the merchants in the afternoon: "There is not enough stock, please forgive me, but you can make reservations for next year, and the quantity for next year is still so much."

Well, in the afternoon, the merchants also cleared out next year's goods.

In two days, 100 million taels of silver was collected with a [-]% deposit. In the whole of Daxia, all the porcelain kilns added up did not have so much.

Empress Gao was also surprised. This hot pot restaurant has only been open for a few months, and the four hot pot restaurants have made a total profit of 6000 taels in addition to the cost.

This year, it is also 10,000+, and her hot pot base is still sold. Cuihua said that she can also set up a hot pot franchise store. They provide base and dish production training, and charge a certain amount a year. the joining fee.

There are still 80 mansions in the whole of Daxia. If you want to recruit business, you can open one or two in each mansion. This, I didn't expect it, maybe it can make more money than an oyster sauce shop!
Empress Gao smiled, she touched her slightly curved belly, and said to Princess Jingyao: "Your aunt gave you a workshop that can earn money, Yaoyao, when you get married, how much money will you have!"

Princess Jingyao said: "Silver is too much to count, so let's replace it with gold. I like gold too!"

"Hahaha, my princess is really smart. She knows that she can exchange silver for gold. Tell Father, who told you this?"

"Brother Xiaoliu said that his new year's money is all little gold ingots. He said that this is worth more than silver!"

"This little guy is so excited at such a young age, it's amazing!"

"Little five and little six brothers are very smart, father, when will the younger brothers in the mother's stomach come out?"

"It will take another six or seven months. When the weather gets hot, my brother will come out!"

"Then Yaoyao will prepare a lot of things for my younger brother, and give them to him when he comes out."

The father and daughter had a heated discussion, wishing to see the little guy come out tomorrow, Empress Gao was speechless, she seemed to have forgotten to ask the dog man something.

After she was pregnant, she tended to forget things very much. After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered and asked, "Your Majesty, how is the investigation of the case in Uncle Zhongqin's residence going?"

Xia Hongdi said: "Anyway, nothing has happened yet. Lao He just likes to reason. He has to convince the criminal. I don't have that much patience. I'm afraid he won't recruit me if I give this kid all kinds of torture tools!"

"Won't that ruin He Qingtian's reputation? Since I've handed it over to him, let him do his job well."

"Isn't this the queen you are asking, and I didn't rush him."

This year the queen is pregnant. Last year, I wanted to watch fireworks, but I was disturbed by that big show.

The emperor who didn't like to join in the fun, and didn't even hold his own Qianqiu banquet, will never hold a big party this year. He understood early in the morning that few people seriously eat these banquets in the palace.

It was a cold day, and people were tossed into the palace, and troubles would happen if nothing happened, so he just wanted to have a few meals with his family and have a safe and healthy year.

Empress Gao hesitated and said, "Isn't it afraid that the courtiers will have opinions? After all, this is the rule of the past dynasties."

"Whoever is the emperor is the one who sets the rules. I will do whatever I say! Empress, you can raise your baby with peace of mind. Don't worry about these crap things. I will hold back and let those shit-stirring sticks stop!"

Empress Gao: I'm so happy, who wants to sit all day and watch a group of people eating and drinking in a fake way!
