"Alas..." Seeing that he was so stubborn, Xiao Chen felt quite helpless and had to slow down his tone, "Actually, I also understand your difficulty. Since you are so determined, I can't force you... to show you something. , do you recognize it?"
As he spoke, he took out a Dragon Spirit Pearl and handed it to him.
"Ah!" Duanmu Nanfeng was surprised and happy when he saw it, "Is this the legendary Dragon Spirit Pearl? Brother Xiao, where did you get it? This is a priceless treasure!"
"You are really knowledgeable. You are indeed a disciple of the most wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River... Do you have a few hidden in your family?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"I heard from my father that he had one before, but it was stolen later, and my father became so angry that he became ill..." Duanmu Nanfeng held the beads in his hands and couldn't put them down.
"Then I'll give you this one." Xiao Chen said generously, "Keep it as a family heirloom for your son in the future, but I won't give it to you as a gift when you get married."
"Brother Xiao, don't be kidding me. How can I ask for such a precious thing! Should I give it to the Emperor? He is so pleased that he might even have to confer a title on you." Duanmu Nanfeng said this, but his eyes were beautiful He never leaves the orb, obviously he loves it very much.
"Is he worthy?" Xiao Chen's tone was louder than the sky, "Only a person like you, my brother, is worthy of such an orb... How much do you think this is worth?"
"Haha, Brother Xiao, you are really funny. I am very happy to have you say this, but I still can't take the beads. It's better to sell them. We need money so much now... What do you think of the value? How much? I can't say for sure, but it's priceless anyway!" Duanmu Nanfeng said that this kind of treasure is priceless!
"I'll just keep it for you. There's so much nonsense!" Xiao Chen said, "I still have a dozen beads like this, and I'll keep them all with you. You can help me sell them..."
Plop!
Duanmu Nanfeng was shocked when he heard this and fainted to the ground...
yeah? How about a child of the most wealthy family in Jiangnan, with just such little potential? I really despise you!
When Duanmu heard Xiao Chen tell the origin of the orbs, he almost fainted again, holy shit, twenty-four dragon spirit beads? I can buy half of Jiangnan County, my brother Xiao!
But you can't sell them all at once, you have to sell them one by one, so that you can get a better price.
Brother Xiao, you can leave this matter to me. I will use the largest cargo ship to transport the money to you later...
But Brother Xiao, how many people know that you and Sister Ling'er obtained the orb?
"Basically everyone knows it," Xiao Chen said.
"That won't work! It's a matter of great importance, a matter of life and death, but it must not be leaked out. As the saying goes, a man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a treasure! If anyone knows that we have such a treasure, there will be countless troubles in the future!" Duanmu Nanfeng narrowed his eyes. eyes.
"What do you want to do? Do you want to kill all the brothers?" Xiao Chen said.
"They should all be killed, but there are too many people..." Duanmu Nanqiao really had murderous intentions.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? No matter how valuable this orb is, it is not as valuable as the life of one of my brothers! Don't you see that you are so cruel and ruthless?" Xiao Chen rejected it directly.
"I'm just saying casually. Of course it's best not to kill people...Brother Xiao, you listen to me, we are going to do this, this, this, this..." However, Duanmu Nanfeng had already come up with a plan.
"You are really a ghost." Xiao Chen thought the method was good and he could adopt it.
Duanmu Nanfeng held a grand banquet for Xiao Chen and invited Wu Hongchang and other officials from Jiangnan County.
The banquet lasted until late at night and ended happily. As the host, Duanmu Nanfeng naturally had to accompany him. After the banquet was over, he also fell drunk.
Xiao Chen lived in Duanmu's house. He also drank a lot of wine, but he was not drunk. After seeing off Wu Hongchang and other guests for Duanmu, he ordered the housekeeper of Duanmu's house to be sealed for four years.
Feng Si was about fifty years old. He was a fat man, three times bigger than Shangguan Qiji.
He is an old man of the Duanmu family. He has followed Duanmu Lin since he was a teenager, and he also watched Duanmu Nanfeng and Duanmu Nanqiao grow up. The two sisters did not regard him as a housekeeper and servant, but Treating each other with the courtesy of uncle and nephew, they can be regarded as proper confidants.
He is also the only person in the Duanmu family who knows Xiao Chen's true identity.
"Master Xiao, what are your orders?" Feng Siannian was extremely cautious and addressed Xiao Chen as "Master" regardless of whether he was present or not.
"Uncle Nian, it's time for you to lose weight, right?" Xiao Chen asked him to sit down, "I see you are so tired even when you walk. You must have weighed three hundred kilograms, right?"
"How can it be that heavy? I just weighed it, and it only weighs 293 pounds." Feng Sisi grinned while wiping his sweat.
"I can't stop watching it, right?" Shangguan Qiji on the side said with a smile, "It's probably because your scale is broken."
"Brother Shangguan, don't make such a joke. We businessmen can be inaccurate about anything, but the scale must be accurate!" Feng Sisi said with a smile.
He has a cheerful and cheerful temperament, and has a very serious social problem. He has just met Guan Qiji, and he can chat and laugh with him without any comments.
"Hey, it's just what other people say. Who the hell do you believe in what you merchants say? If you hadn't cheated and cheated, how could you have made such a big fortune? As the saying goes, there is no business without treachery. It’s you who are the ones!” Shangguan Qiji obviously has a serious hatred of the rich because he is still very poor.
"My brother, what you said is wrong. You can only deceive people for a while by cheating and cheating. How can you deceive people for a lifetime? Anyone who makes a fortune must do business with conscience, otherwise they would have collapsed long ago! This traitor who is not a traitor is not a treacherous traitor, but a traitor who stands out from the crowd. That was when we sold grain in the past..."
"Come on, come on, don't I know this allusion? Do you need to teach me? Let's get down to business. Hurry up. I'm really exhausted from being bumpy and tired on the sea. I finally want to have a peaceful sleep with my feet on the ground. ! It’s just that Xiao Chen is so troubled, you said you’d have to do it tomorrow!” Shangguan Qiji complained.
"Yes, yes, then let's get down to business quickly." Xiao Chen asked for help from others, and his attitude towards Shangguan Qiji was particularly good.
"What are you two doing?" Feng Sisi felt that both of them looked strange...
"Uncle Nian, there are three types of unfilial piety, which one is the greatest?" Xiao Chen got straight to the point.
"It's great to have no heirs." Feng Sisi sighed, his smile gradually condensing.
As a loyal servant of the Duanmu family, he naturally hoped that the only male in the family, Duanmu Nanfeng, would get married as soon as possible and give birth to a boy and two girls to carry on the Duanmu family's lineage.
But Nanfeng is not a womanizer!
On the contrary, I like men...
The family has several troupes, but none of them are girls. They are all handsome young ladies who hang out with them all day long, without knowing why!
This year's Lantern Festival also convened more than a hundred opera troupes from Jiangnan County and held some kind of Hundred Flowers Festival. They selected a talented and beautiful oiran named Fang Guan. …
This has become a joke in Jiangnan County. How shameful!
