alone as a fairy

Before approaching the manor, a middle-aged man rode a horse and came up to him with several servants. Chen Zining saw him and felt familiar. Then he remembered that this man was the leader of the Guangtong Chamber of Commerce on the way to Tsinghua City last time. The leader of the team, Chen Zining also received two hundred gold coins as a reward from him.

Du Tao shouted: "Uncle San, are you here too? Didn't you say that you led the team to Nan'an City a while ago?"

"I just came back yesterday."

The middle-aged man smiled, and introduced himself to Chen Zining and Miao Shufang: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Miao, welcome to Du's Manor as a guest. I am Du Yue, and I am in charge of the chamber of commerce. When I get here, I will treat myself as if I were at my own home. No formality required."

Chen Zining said: "The two of us and Xiaotao are like brothers, but we really don't intend to be polite."

Du Yue made a gesture of invitation, walked side by side, and said with a smile: "That's good. Speaking of which, Mr. Chen is still my benefactor of the Du family. He has never had the opportunity to thank you. Today is here, so why not stay for a few more days."

"Guan Du is serious about his words. The meeting coincided with the meeting that day, and it was not the work of someone like Chen."

After speaking, he handed over the gift box containing eight blood dragon fruits, and said, "A small gift is not a respect."

"Young Master Chen is too polite."

"Let's go in quickly, and we'll talk inside if we have something to say." Du Tao said impatiently.

"Yes! Yes! Please come in, the Patriarch is waiting in the lobby."

The so-called manor is actually a large castle, covering an area of ​​no less than [-] mu. There are also walls nearly ten feet high surrounding the manor. , the city wall is higher than the outer city, obviously the farmers and servants of the manor live in the outer city, and the Du family members live in the inner city.

After entering the gate of the inner city, a group of people got off their horses and handed the reins to the people in the manor. After passing through several pavilions, they entered the center of the inner city. Along the way, there were groups of servants and warriors, which showed that the Du family should not be underestimated. strength.

Du Tao said: "This manor is more important to my family than the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce in the city. I lived here until I was ten years old."

At the entrance of the hall, Du Xing, the Patriarch of the Du Family, came out to welcome him. When Chen Zining saw it, he had a good impression. This fat man was five points like Du Tao, but he was a little fatter. Anyone who looked at him could recognize him as Du Tao. Tao is a father and son.

Chen Zining said: "Patriarch Du, it's presumptuous to come here, I hope it won't disturb you."

Du Xing opened his mouth with a burst of hearty laughter, and said: "What are you talking about? From now on, the two of you will treat it as your own home, and come whenever you want. If you don't mind, just call me old uncle, or call me It’s okay for me to be a senior, I was also a graduate of the college back then, and more than 20 years have passed.”

The four of them entered the hall, and several beautiful maids each offered a cup of clear tea. Chen Zining and the others picked it up and smelled it.

This is spiritual tea, Chen Zining doesn't need to drink it to know that it is the Mengxian spirit tea which is as famous as the Miwu spirit tea he planted in the Immortal Mansion, just this one is worth a lot.

"Mengxian spirit tea, Uncle Du really knows how to enjoy it. Unfortunately, I came in a hurry. There are a few plants of Miwu spirit tea planted at home, but I haven't been able to pick some." Chen Zining said with a smile. Now the ten spirit tea trees in the fairy mansion only have thighs It is tall, but it grows very well. If you insist on picking it, you can make up half a tael or eight dollars, but after a month or two, it will be produced continuously. It doesn't matter how much you can sell, just drink it yourself. , and used as a gift is enough.

"Oh! Miwuling tea? Because it is difficult to grow, this tea is even rarer than Mengxianling tea. It seems that I will be lucky enough to taste it in the future." Du Xing looked very interested.

Du Xing chatted with Miao Shufang again, and said with a smile: "I have admired the name of the Miao family in Donghu for a long time, and the Lingyu brocade is even more famous in the world. I also have a Lingyu brocade inner armor in my house, and I plan to keep it as a legacy. Home treasures are here to use."

Several people were polite in the hall, and Miao Shufang knew that his boss came here to discuss something with the Patriarch of the Du family, so he said: "I heard from Xiaotao that there is a big garden in the manor, and there are wonderful flowers blooming all year round. , the scenery is excellent, I wonder if I can take a tour?"

Du Tao jumped out and said, "I'll take you there, now is the best time to see the garden."

As soon as the two of them left, Chen Zining didn't make any detours, and said directly, "Uncle Du, have you seen the samples, the low-grade Golden Silk Spirit Valley weighs 590 jin, and the middle-grade Amethyst Spirit Valley weighs 420 jin, all of which are sold by you. It's up to you to buy it or share it in the end."

Du Xing pondered for a while, and said: "If you sell a small amount of spiritual grains, it will not be a big problem if you keep them secret. If you sell them in large quantities, it will definitely attract the attention and investigation of the aristocratic families who planted these two kinds of spiritual grains. In that case , it will be difficult to keep secrets.”

Chen Zining also knew that this was a one-off business, and if he wanted to sell it in the future, it would definitely arouse the anger of many aristocratic families. He thought for a while and said: "Guangtong Chamber of Commerce has dozens of branches in various cities in Qingyang County, and they can be dispersed. Selling it in various cities at the same time, we will stop when someone reacts, if it is really not good, grind it into spiritual rice, it will be easy to sell."

"Since Zining said so, then I will take it. However, there has never been a fixed price for Linggu, and the price can vary through auctions, black markets and other channels. Gold coins, Amethyst Spirit Valley buys you one thousand gold coins per catty, what do you think?"

"Okay! Then it's settled. At noon tomorrow, you will send someone to Shuiyueju to receive it."

Such a high price is not surprising to Chen Zining. At the beginning, he wanted to buy some spiritual grains through the black market for planting. He consulted several black market shops but failed. In the end, he used his own unique cultivation spells to give birth to still alive spiritual grains. As a result, he got some grain seedlings, and he believed that the Du family could make no less money from them than he did.
