Good man, he has a golden finger

"Brother Ming, didn't you say you wanted to buy a piano? Why didn't you buy it?"

An elder brother from the village came around to ask, and Cui Mingshan answered confidently.

"The money was not enough. After a few days, my father brought the money, so they took the piano back together and bought the best piano for the noble man."

As soon as this was said, everyone around said that it was appropriate. After all, the noble people stayed in their village, and there were not many good things in the village. That is, the red plum could be seen. Now people in the village said that it was the old village in the past. God bless them, otherwise the nobleman would have been bored living in their village and would have left long ago.

Cui Mingshan took his people to meet his father and found that his father had bought two little maids. They looked pretty and should be serving the nobles, but the nobles didn't know whether they would like these two little girls.

After that, I went to the carpenter's shop to reserve a donkey cart and a luxurious carriage. If you want to buy an ox cart these days, you can buy it directly, but there are many people in the village who want it, so it is natural to make a reservation, and the carriage also takes time to make. There were several masters and apprentices working together in the carpentry shop. There was such a big business before the end of the year, with a business of two hundred taels of silver. They directly asked them to pat their chests and promise that in three days, the carriage and the carriage would be ready. The donkey cart has been prepared, and Village Chief Cui just has to come and pick it up.

Village Chief Cui also asked his son why he returned empty-handed. After knowing that the Lu Yi his son was interested in cost two thousand taels of silver, he thought it was normal. This noble thing was naturally very expensive, so he didn't say much.

Everyone who followed in the village was beaming with joy. After all, if the thatched huts could be renovated after the new year, they would have tile-roofed houses to live in. Who could not be happy?

It's daytime again, and Wenxian Town is very lively this day. Of course, the most important thing is that the Xue family of the imperial merchants also arrived in Wenxian Town today. Wenxian Town is the only way to the capital, and it has a good meaning. , so many businessmen will stay here. Now the Xue family of Huangshang is in the largest restaurant in Wenxian Town and has booked the entire restaurant.

At the window on the third floor of Zuixian Building, a young man wearing a red brocade robe was looking at the falling snow outside the window, which was really boring.

"Uncle Zhou, if I had known that shopping for goods would be so boring, I wouldn't have come out with you. There was snow all the way, so forget about the bumps, and I didn't encounter anything interesting. Sister, please ask your father and mother to collect these rare treasures from the world. But the other concubines are all from aristocratic families, and if there are really rare treasures, they would have already been in their hands, is it our turn? "

This young man's name is Xue Baocheng. He is sixteen years old this year, but he is already at the age where he could start a family and start a business and do things in ancient times.

He came all the way this time to find various treasures for his sister, so that he could make a splash at the Queen Mother's banquet.

But after hearing some news, I felt that I had found the best thing, and I was afraid that other aristocratic families would not like it.

When my sister was able to enter the palace, it was also because of the rare floods in the south of the Yangtze River. My father opened a warehouse to store grain, which directly saved the people of the two cities. His Majesty later learned about this and announced that my sister had entered the palace and became the empress. They The Xue family also became an imperial merchant.

But if compared with those concubines from big families, I'm afraid they can't even compare to the root of their nails.

"Young Master, please don't say that. The aristocratic family has a solid foundation, but our Xue family has a reputation in front of His Majesty. If our Xue family doesn't make good preparations for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, we will be in trouble when the time comes. It’s hard for the empress to lose her. Even if His Majesty doesn’t care about our good things, that’s our intention.”

This trip was to go to the capital, so I brought a lot of good things with me and collected them along the way.

Although Manager Zhou also felt that these things were not rare enough, the master said that rare playthings should be searched for and money should be brought with them. The Xue family transported two million taels of silver into the palace in batches by land and sea. In the year, there were rumors that His Majesty wanted to attack the Turks, but was blocked by the important ministers in the DPRK on the grounds of insufficient military resources. This matter was widely circulated among the people, so the head of the family secretly prepared the money in order to give it to His Majesty through the Queen Mother. of.

So no matter how good this treasure is, it is just the icing on the cake.

"Okay, anyway, I don't think there is anything interesting in Wenxian Town. When I get to the capital this time, I will have a good time, but I don't know if I will be able to see my sister."

When my sister became a queen, the whole family followed her to win glory. She also became an imperial merchant, and everyone was in awe of her. However, Xue Baocheng was still childish as before. He would not bully others just because there was a queen in the family. He was just worried about whether his sister's life in the palace was going well. Xue Baocheng was really worried that her sister had not had a child for three years after entering the palace.

Such a topic was something that Steward Zhou couldn't talk about. Then a young steward came over to report that the shopkeeper of Jinlou in Wenxian Town had come to visit and that rare and good things had been sent to him.

"Young Master, I'm going to see what good things Zhou Changgui has sent me."

As soon as he said this, Xue Baocheng waved his hands directly.

"I'm bored too. Send them over here too. Let me see what good things can be found in a small town like this."

Coming from Jiangnan, Xue Baocheng saw a lot of good things along the way. What good things could be found in such a small town with no big people?

Soon, Zhou Chun came over holding a box, which was replaced by the most expensive rosewood box, making people full of expectations for the contents inside.

"This is our young master, coming to the capital with us this time."

Manager Zhou introduced that he has the same surname as Zhou Chun, so he is considered the family member, so he takes care of him every time he comes here.

"Zhou Chun has met Master Xue."

Zhou Chun's eyes lit up and he put the box on the table. Xue Baocheng nodded casually and looked at the box on the table.

"What's inside?"

Zhou Chun also smiled.

"Master Xue will know once you open it."

With these words, Xue Baocheng became curious about the contents inside, so he reached out and opened the box, revealing the round and round pearl bracelet. The white and tender color was even more dazzling on the red chip, which made Xue Baocheng I was shocked immediately. I didn't expect that such a small place would really have interesting things.

He reached out and took out the pearl bracelet and held it in his hand. At this moment, he happened to be sitting by the window. The snowflakes outside the window no longer floated, and there was actually a little more sunlight falling on the string of pearls. It gives each bead a radiant beauty. It is not only a pure soft light color, but also has several colors flowing beautifully on it. It is simply impossible to take your eyes away.

Housekeeper Zhou didn't expect Zhou Chun to get such a good thing. He took a look at him and saw the young master couldn't put it down, and felt that the young master might like this thing.

"Okay! This bracelet is great! Just a tribute to my sister!"

Xue Baocheng has also seen a lot of good things. After all, he was born in the Xue family, a big merchant. Now he is very happy to see such a perfect pearl bracelet.

After all, everything in this world pursues perfection, and these beads are perfect in terms of color, size, and quantity, and the brilliant color under the sun is enough to increase its worth.

"Master Xue can do it if he likes it." As soon as he saw this scene, Zhou Chun knew that the matter was done.

Master Xue was busy tasting the pearl bracelet in his hand and ignored Zhou Chun, which Zhou Chun had long been used to.

It was Butler Zhou who took Zhou Chun out, leaving Master Xue alone to play with the pearl bracelet. Butler Zhou had also seen the world, so he spoke after he came out.

"I don't care about the origin of this pearl bracelet. Since the young master is interested in it, it must be from the Xue family. Please give me a price."

Zhou Chun knew it was done and immediately smiled.

"Looking at what Brother Zhou said, the origin of this pearl bracelet is also simple. It was a nobleman who traveled to the surrounding villages. He saw that the people in the village were naked and had no roof to cover their bodies, so he left this pearl bracelet behind. I want to exchange some money for them to repair their houses. As a means of livelihood, it is because of the kindness of such a noble person that this good thing falls into my hands. Brother Zhou, just give it to them as long as it allows the people in the village to have a good time. Just cover your head with a tile.”

As soon as these words came out, Housekeeper Zhou also laughed as expected, knowing that Zhou Chun would not hide it from him, and there was a reason for the origin of such a good thing. Thinking that the Queen Mother would report it to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother would be happy, so she spoke.

"Such a good thing is rare in the world. Of course I can't treat you badly, so I will give you one in ten thousand. How about your ten thousand and one tael of gold?"

That’s right! How can such a gift to the Queen Mother be cheap? The price still has to be a good sign.

"Of course I listen to Brother Zhou, and don't worry, Brother Zhou, I am definitely not lying. All these ten thousand and one taels of gold will be handed over to the village chief of Cuijia Village, so that Chief Cui can use it to repair the houses in the village. This matter will definitely be reported to the county magistrate in the spring of next year, so don’t worry.”

This is a direct guarantee. Zhou Chun also knows what money can be earned and what cannot.

"Okay, I know you are smart, so let me get it."

In order to buy a birthday gift for the Queen Mother this time, it can be said that in addition to two million silver, the Xue family also brought millions of silver coins to buy gifts.

Zhou Chun soon had a deed in his hand, and the gold and silver would be sent directly to Zhou Chun's store. After all, they had guards and bodyguards who came and went to do business. With a large number of people, they were not afraid of money problems.

It's just that if the villagers want to take these ten thousand taels of gold home, they will definitely store it in the bank in Wenxian Town until the beginning of next year.

So Zhao Guangqing also knew the news, and Zhou Chun didn't hide it.

"The Xue family gave ten thousand and one taels of gold as a reward. They will send the silver to the store in the afternoon. You tell your brother-in-law and ask your brother-in-law to bring someone to pick it up. If there is any extra, it will be deposited directly in the bank for the next year. Now that the snow has stopped, there’s no rush to repair the house.”

Zhou Chun didn't receive any money, so Zhao Guangqing naturally praised his father-in-law in every possible way, and finally hurried back home with a smile.

Village Chief Cui, who has been here for three days, heard the latest news about his brother-in-law.

"The pearl bracelet was taken away by the Xue family. Brother-in-law, ten thousand taels of gold will be sent to the Jinlou this afternoon. Dad tells you to go and get it with your brothers. After you get it, deposit it into the bank..."

Village Chief Cui stood up and was so surprised that with this money, the villagers can live in tile-roofed houses in the spring! No more hunger and cold in the future!

With this money, we can buy a lot of land and cattle, and then the life of the people in the village will be better...
