The story of a noble girl

Chapter 56 Buying Land and Selling Porcelain (for Subscription)
The three old men, Mr. Su, Lin Jiadong, Wei Qingfan (Wang Yong), and Mr. Su's entourage and other men poured out the immortal ginseng wine, laughed loudly, drank wine, ate meat and soup, and were extremely happy.

Lin Xiaoning, Fu Guanyue, Wei Qingling, Xiaoxiang Xiaobao and the others sat at half the table, and in front of them were dishes that were more suitable for dinner. Xiaoxiang personally cooked the braised pork belly, which made people salivate continuously.

Wangzai, Huoer, and Xiaobai showed up. It was the first time Master Su saw the four of them, and he was extremely surprised.The previous few times I came here for lunch, but now the four of them don't show up until dinner.

Wangzai and Huo'er were begging for food, and the three old men naturally picked up a few shredded braised pork belly and fed them to them. The adults were a little surprised and a little happy.

He looked at Xiaobai again, although he was not very big, he had a wolf image, and when he grinned, his white teeth were exposed, he was a little timid, but seeing that even the maids serving at the banquet were not afraid, he stopped talking.Unlike Wangzai and Huo'er, Xiaobai and Xiaobai ate the food in their own bowls by the wall very calmly.

Master Su's attendants looked at Xiaobai curiously, and asked, "Master Lin, are these two silver wolves? They don't hurt anyone, and they are so obedient?"

Mr. Lin smiled and said, "It's Silver Dog. There are so many beasts in the green hills behind my old house." He pointed at Wangzai again, "These two guys are the partners he brought back from the back mountain. When they were very young, they were like puppies, but they have been close to people for a long time, and now they grow up and don’t hurt others, and they can watch the house. But they are very lazy, so it’s not as effective as a dog housekeeper.”

Master Su and his followers were amused when they heard it, and said, "Old man, this is the first time I've seen such a dear wolf. Their silver fur is so beautiful, can you pet them?"

Mr. Lin smiled: "Touch if you want, it's okay, they won't hurt people."

The entourage cautiously stepped forward to touch it.

Lord Su also kept looking at Xiaobai, watched his attendants touch him, and couldn't help but step forward. When he saw it, he turned pale with shock, and turned around and asked, "Three old men, they... they are bowls for eating... It's Mr. Zheng's handwriting!"

Mr. Lin said: "Those two bowls are a bit flawed, and they were used by Ning girl to make their rice bowls."

Lin Xiaoning smiled: "Anyway, I didn't see any flaws, and it took a lot of effort to burn it out. Mr. Zheng was about to fall, but I didn't let it go. I used it for Xiaobai. At least it would save two bowls of money for the family."

Old Zheng said angrily: "Xiao Ning, this stinking girl, knows how to ruin my reputation."

Master Su sat back at the banquet with a face full of regret, while the attendants kept looking at Xiaobai with some stupidity.

---

On the way back, Master Su said to Lin Xiaoning: "Miss Lin, the jobs of those two silver wolves..."

Lin Xiaoning smiled and whispered: "Master Su is so clever that he was confused for a while. What are you thinking about the two bowls of big and small white? Mr. Zheng thinks that I have ruined his reputation. If you want Mr. Zheng's porcelain, why bother to buy from me?" Buy here, coax Mr. Zheng well, you don’t need to spend a tael of silver, and you can get the porcelain. My lord will go back and calculate the area of ​​the land, and I will go to the city the day after tomorrow to pay the silver.”

Master Su heard this and said: "I'm really sorry to ask for Mr. Zheng's porcelain without spending money. It's Mr. Zheng's handwriting."

This upright and rich Mr. Su.Lin Xiaoning said: "Master Su, didn't you just send us a bunch of high-quality silk and other items?"

"The item sent is a thank you gift from my old man, because the ginseng wine I sent me last time eliminated the root cause of my old man's illness."

"Lord Su, this ginseng wine is given to you because you gave three jars of immortal wine to the three old men, and the three old men also gave it to your old man."

"That's why my old man sent these thank you gifts!"

Lin Xiaoning smiled wryly: "Master Su, if you love to spend money so much, then I will charge you 1 taels. How about I sell you a pair of bottles?"

"Miss Lin is serious, can you sell me a pair of bottles for 1 taels?"

"Of course it's true, Mr. Su, Mr. Zheng is a master of porcelain making among the people. A pair of bottles is 1 taels. It's because you are a good person and have friendship with those three old men, so I offered this price."

"Miss Lin misunderstood, 1 taels is too low, I can't be greedy for cheap, especially Mr. Zheng's cheap."

"Master Su, what's your brain? If someone wants to buy something and think it's cheap, then how much do you think a pair of bottles should be?"

"Mr. Zheng's porcelain has always been precious. A pair of bottles must sell for at least 1 taels. Of course, Miss Lin is willing to sell me [-] taels. I am also happy."

"I'm not happy, so I'll charge you [-] taels. When you go back to Su University, you must remember to calculate the area of ​​the land. I will go to the city the day after tomorrow to pay the money." Lin Xiaoning smiled.

"Miss Lin, you don't have to wait until the day after tomorrow. You can go to the yamen tomorrow. I'll prepare the land deed. You bring the bottle. I'll wait at the yamen." Master Su also smiled.

The next day Lin Xiaoning brought a large wooden box containing a pair of porcelain vases into the Qingshui Yamen in Qingshui County.When I came back, I brought back the 4360 mu land deed over the barren hills.

Lin Xiaoning took out the [-] taels of silver note Master Su gave her and handed it to Elder Zheng, saying solemnly: "Elder Zheng, this is the silver note for Master Su to buy a pair of bottles from you, please keep it for the dog. I I know your porcelain is valuable, but I don’t know it’s worth so much money, and I keep it in my hands and don’t want to sell it. I’m so stupid to ask how many bottles and tableware you have for the dowry.”

Zheng Laodao: "Master Su, if you want a bottle, just say it, you girl, you are taking advantage of others, and you are greedy for so much money, so give it back. My old man is not burning porcelain now to make money. To make money, that's shameless." I also earn a lot from the latrines made by the son, which is enough to spend. I burn less now, and the gifts and dowries of the grandchildren of your two families are also almost burned. Next year, I will burn a few more kilns for the dog. , What else are you selling! Girl, just let me live another 30 years, I am only willing to bring out a good apprentice from Yang. When it comes to apprentices, I have been paying attention. I have taken a fancy to some of the dolls in the village. I want to let them come and try with me in the spring of next year, and if I can produce one that can be inherited by me, I will not waste my life."

"Of course Mr. Zheng can live for 30 years, at least, Mr. Zheng believes what the girl said. You don't sell the porcelain you burn! I'm not willing to sell those treasures! But the silver ticket has been paid by Mr. Su, and I didn't charge too much. His money originally cost 1 taels, but he insisted on paying [-] taels, the Su family in Jiangnan must be very rich, you should keep it."

"No, return it. Master Su is a young brother I like very much. He sent so many things yesterday. It's because of his kindness and intention. What's the point of giving him a pair of bottles? Girl, return it to him."

On the second day, Lin Xiaoning had no choice but to bring the 5 taels of bank notes and went to the city to find Mr. Su again.

Mr. Su heard that Mr. Zheng had to return the money to him, but he refused, and said that he paid the money and delivered the goods, how can he get the money back? Did Mr. Zheng think the money was short?Then add another 1 taels.

Another 1 taels were given to Lin Xiaoning.

Lin Xiaoning was a bit devastated. He obviously wanted to buy a piece of land. This Mr. Su insisted on buying porcelain, but Mr. Zheng insisted on returning the banknotes. This Mr. Su refused to say anything, and added another 1 taels. What the hell is going on? Son?

Lin Xiaoning's head grew big, and he stroked his forehead and sighed: "My Lord Su, you can keep the money first, if you have any questions, you can go directly to Mr. Zheng, I don't care, I just want to buy a piece of land, and I have to toss about it. These things come out. Really, buying a piece of land is different from buying Mr. Zheng's porcelain, two different things!"

Master Su looked at Lin Xiaoning's appearance and said with a smile, "Well, Miss Lin, they are two different things!"

"Then Master Su, keep the bank note, and you and Mr. Zheng can discuss the rest of the matter."

"That can't be done, you sold me the bottle, and so many troubles happened again."

Lin Xiaoning felt that he was extremely stupid, Master Su was extremely pedantic, and said: "Master Su, the bottle is only for gift and not for sale, otherwise Mr. Zheng will blame me!"

"How can I do this without taking money? How can I do such a thing in the Su family in Jiangnan?"

"Master Su," Lin Xiaoning immediately became angry, "Why don't you take in oil and salt? Isn't there a saying that the elders can't refuse? You keep saying that you respect Mr. Zheng and have a heart for the three old men, but you are calculating everything. , I dare not take half of the advantage, but I don’t have the courage to take it? Because if you take it, you are accepting the kindness of others, and that is affection, Mr. Su doesn’t want these affections, right?”

Mr. Su was stunned when he heard that, and said: "Why did Miss Lin say that? I don't mean it at all. I just don't want Mr. Zheng to be rewarded for his hard work."

"Master Su, do you know that I built a house for Mr. Zheng, and he didn't say no to him. He made porcelain, and I liked everything. He went home and hid it. The old man didn't say anything. He's fine now. The burnt items are for my family, the Fang family and the dog, and they are not sold at all. Have the three old men been polite about the gifts you sent? What is this? You Jiangnan Su Family Zheng Lao can't climb up?"

Mr. Su listened blankly, and then smiled: "I finally know why Miss Lin and Mr. Hu, the chief envoy, have become close friends. It really surprised me before, but now that I think about it, it's actually quite normal. What kind of person is your lord? He dares to act, he is affectionate and righteous. Ms. Lin is also a person of affection and righteousness, and she dares to act. No wonder Mr. Hu and Ms. Lin hit it off. Miss Lin's temperament really makes Su admire. Accept it, you tell Mr. Zheng, I thank him for his kindness, I will definitely keep it in my heart."

"Master Hu, the envoy, Master Su is talking about Mr. Hu, the county magistrate?"

"Yes, Ms. Lin, Mr. Hu was originally the deputy envoy of the General Administration Department, but was relegated to Qingshui County to become the county magistrate due to some incidents. After the spring of this year, the new deputy envoy died of illness, and Mr. Hu returned to Beijing to resume his post in the capital. Promoted to General Manager."

"What rank is the Tongzheng envoy?"

"Zheng Sanpin."

"What rank is the deputy envoy of the General Administration Department?"

"Fourth grade."

"Master Su, do you mean that Mr. Hu was demoted from the fourth rank to the seventh rank county magistrate due to some incidents, and then he was reinstated, and was promoted to the third rank soon after his reinstatement?"
