Good man, he has a golden finger

At this time, Cui Mingshan was shocked. He had learned a lot from his uncle before, so after seeing this pearl bracelet, he just thought that one bead could sell for a thousand taels of silver, so this pearl bracelet could be sold at least. It's worth a thousand taels of gold, but I never thought that I was stunned when I heard the direct words of ten thousand taels of gold directly from my uncle's mouth.

Village Chief Cui had actually expected it, otherwise he would not have brought so many strong men from the village over. Not only did everyone come over, but they also secretly hid the kitchen knives at home in their chests. If any problems occurred, then If you really encounter gangsters and harm people in the village, then the money will be used to support their wives and children.

But Village Chief Cui didn't expect that this pearl bracelet had surpassed a thousand taels of gold and turned out to be worth ten thousand gold. How could it be sold from Wenxian Town?

Such precious things can only be sold in the wealthy places in the capital and south of the Yangtze River, right?

He felt inexplicably depressed, but Zhao Guangqing on the side lowered his voice mysteriously.

"But brother-in-law, it's a good idea for you to come this time. This year is special. The spring after the new year will be the Queen Mother's 60th birthday. This is the birthday of wealth. Since last year, many traveling businessmen have come to various places to look for rare and antique things. I heard from the boss of our Jinlou that our Wenxian Town has attracted many people to come to ask for offerings because of the legend of the past. This time, it is said that the caravan of the Xue family, the royal merchant, also came. If we can bring this If you sell good things to the Xue family, you won’t have to worry about not being able to sell them.”

Yes, he is a businessman after all. Zhao Guangqing still has a little bit of information that others don't know. This ordinary person doesn't know that the Queen Mother will hold a grand birthday party next year, but the business people know it, so I heard that Jiangnan There is a huge red coral tree nearby that has been transported back to Beijing. It is said that the red coral tree is a real treasure worth fifty thousand taels of gold.

"The Xue family, the royal merchant?" Village Chief Cui was confused, but then he came to his senses.

"Then if we, the common people in Shengdou, meet such a person, it's hard to say whether we can get the money back..."

After all, even if Chief Cui is a village chief in the village, he has no ability when he gets to the town, let alone when he meets an imperial merchant?

"Don't worry. The Xue family came here specifically to find a birthday gift for the Queen Mother. Although they are said to be royal merchants, if they are guests at a banquet in the palace, I am afraid that even the imperial merchants do not have the qualifications. They are just for the sake of those in the palace. Empress Xue, this treasure was given to Empress Xue to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, so it can’t be too outstanding or too bad. The beads on this string of pearls are round and round, perfect for birthday banquets. The Xue family will definitely like it.”

At this point, Zhao Guangqing paused.

"The Xue family will never covet such a thing. Who can become an imperial merchant without these 18,000 taels of gold?"

Zhao Guangqing followed the owner of the shop to Jiangnan before. At that time, he was lucky enough to see these rich families fighting against each other. The Xue family was the most famous wealthy businessman in Jiangnan. Ten thousand taels of gold was nothing to them. If they could just ask for it, The Empress Dowager's favor would allow Empress Xue to take a further step, and she would be willing to pay any amount of money from the Xue family.

Businessmen all adhere to the idea that one more enemy is worse than one more friend. Although there are also those who commit crimes, like the Xue family, if they are targeted by others, let alone the emperor's merchants. The position, let’s just say it’s Empress Xue in the palace, I’m afraid she’ll have to suffer.

When one is prosperous, both are prosperous, and when one is harmed, both are harmed. Therefore, when he heard this in the early years, Zhao Guangqing remembered it clearly.

"...Then how do we find this imperial merchant?"

They are just ordinary people, how can they come into contact with such people?

This is the difference in status. In the ancient environment, status directly fixed the class, so if you want to see noble people, you don't just have to meet them.

"That's not necessary. If my brother-in-law trusts me, I will report the matter to the shopkeeper of Jinlou and let the shopkeeper pull the strings to sell this treasure. Jinlou will charge some consignment fees, and no one knows about this item. Where did it come from?”

This is what Zhao Guangqing dares to say. The main reason is that Zhao Guangqing married the daughter of the boss of Jinlou. He has good looks and a good talk. He was also literate after going to Jinlou. Naturally, he went back and forth and was attracted by the boss of Jinlou. Married to a daughter, even though she is a concubine, she is still considered the boss's son-in-law. Now she is able to handle some important things in Jinlou because of this status.

During the holidays, Zhao Guangqing always takes his wife to visit his father-in-law.

"Of course I believe you, but this thing is very important. This time I came here with hundreds of villagers, and they all live outside. Guangqing, please get it done as soon as possible. We still need to hear the news I will leave Fairy Town after purchasing some things.”

Although wealth and silk are attractive to people, Zhao Guangqing is the child he has grown up with. Although he is talkative and naughty, he is a good boy who is devoted to his family. He has such a sister and brother-in-law above him, so he will not treat him badly.

When Zhao Guangqing saw that his brother-in-law trusted him so much, his face suddenly burst into smiles.

"It doesn't matter. If the people in the village don't have a place to live, and there happen to be a lot of houses around me, I'll ask to see if I can rent it to my brother-in-law for a few days. This way, everyone can be together and it will be safer. When I get there, I sold this pearl bracelet to a noble person, and with the money, we can all go shopping together for the New Year.”

Arranging people directly to his door, or even around his own house. Zhao Guangqing is a smart man. He took something as valuable as his brother-in-law. Without saying anything, his brother-in-law said that everyone in the village was afraid that everyone in the village knew about this valuable item. In order to secure their It's better to keep your mind at home and wait for things to be released, so that everyone can rest assured.

Otherwise, with so many people, if something happened, Zhao Guangqing felt that he could be torn apart.

The brother-in-law was naturally reluctant to part with him, but the people he brought with him did not care about friendship with him.

"Okay, everyone naturally trusts you, so you can help me ask. This time, my brother-in-law brought out all his family assets."

In order to sell this pearl bracelet, Village Chief Cui really brought a lot of money here. After all, accommodation and food all cost money. There are hundreds of people and we can't let everyone go hungry. Yesterday, he brought dry food , but the dry food is only for two days. Who knows how many days we will stay here?

"Okay, brother-in-law, then I will take Mingshan to ask. Lao Zheng from the house next door is the most familiar with the neighbors. Then I will ask Mingshan to follow Lao Zheng to handle this matter. You can rest first, and I will go to Jinlou first trip."

Village Chief Cui was naturally relieved that Zhao Guangqing was doing things, so he took a rest at Zhao's house. Zhao Guangqing and Mingshan quickly found a new place for everyone to stay. One room for each family, three copper coins a night, everyone. willing.

Of course, this is guaranteed by Zhao Guangqing. It is absolutely impossible for a stranger to have such ability.

Wenxian Town is doing things in a hurry here, and Xie Tingzhou has also woken up again. Last night, he had asked someone to cover the soaked beans with gauze and put them in the cellar. As long as they were watered twice a day, Bean sprouts can be grown in three days.

This method is simple. Xie Tingzhou either wants to eat a bite of bean sprouts for himself, or he just wants to make some income for the people in the village. The money he gives is nothing. Sooner or later, it will be spent all day. If there is someone in the village who can make a living, If you make progress, then after you leave, the people in the village can live a good life.

After getting up, he was served again. The table was full of food, which was different every day. Xie Tingzhou was used to it. After finishing his breakfast, he went out to play. I have to say that although it is a farmhouse, it has a unique flavor, which makes people stay here. Comfortable.

After the accommodation matter was settled in Wenxian Town, Zhao Guangqing hurried to the Jinlou. After saying hello, he went directly to the third floor of the Jinlou, and then found a box that looked very expensive inside. After all, A man becomes richer by wearing clothes, riding by a saddle, and putting the pearl bracelet in a red sandalwood box.

After doing all this, I asked the waiter and found out that my father-in-law was already settling accounts in the study upstairs, so he hurried upstairs.

When you get to the door, knock on the door.

"Come in." Zhou Chun inside knew it was Guang Qing just by the knock on the door. He liked this son-in-law quite a lot. Both of his legitimate daughters married far away and went to other places. One son-in-law even became a seventh-rank official. It was true that he was very proud, but the two sons-in-law could not be seen or touched, unlike the husband of this concubine, who came over with a wave of his own hand, and was a bit more filial than his son.

As soon as Zhao Guangqing entered the door, he smiled all over his face. Everyone's feelings are related to each other. Zhao Guangqing was taken care of by his father-in-law, so he was naturally treated like a biological father.

"Dad, I found a good thing, and I brought it here for you to see."

No wonder this day of rest has come, Zhou Chun said with a smile.

"What good thing? Can you take out all the red sandalwood boxes in the warehouse to make linings?"

This golden building belongs to Zhou Chun. Zhou Chun will never forget anything he sees. Naturally, he knows that the box his son-in-law is holding belongs to him.

"Dad, you are really discerning. Didn't I want to use that treasure to complement it? You have already said that a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. This precious thing naturally needs the most precious box. I heard that you I’ve been worried about finding a gift for the Xue family of the imperial merchant recently, and my father will definitely like this.”

In fact, it means to please others and make more friends.

Some precious things are collected as heirlooms by wealthy families and are usually not taken out. This time the Xue family was looking for a birthday gift for the Queen Mother, and Zhou Chun naturally wanted to do something.

"Oh? Let me take a look."

Zhou Chun also became curious. Zhao Guangqing placed the sandalwood box on the table and opened it gently. At that moment, the soft luster of the pearls was so beautiful that Zhou Chun's eyes widened and he was surprised by such a good thing. arrive.

"Pearl bracelet! And each one of them looks exactly the same. It can be said to be a rare treasure..."

Seeing this good thing, Zhou Chun instantly felt that if this thing were given to him, the Xue family would definitely be satisfied...
