Zheng Qiao came over holding the card and said disdainfully: "What else could it be? It's just a mouth-watering trick. Who can be fooled by this little trick? Look at him, he's got a new weapon. You still have to show off."
"Yeah, everyone knows it's appetizing. But the cards are not all there, and I feel itchy." Someone said
"That's right, who says it's not the case! There are only a dozen or so cards missing, and I don't even have a gold card, which makes me unable to sleep."
"Hey, didn't you save it for your grandson?"
"Can't sleep for my grandson."
Listening to the discussion, Li Yansong stroked his beard and said calmly: "Actually...it's not like I don't have a gold card."
"What? Do you have a gold card?"
Everyone around him became energetic and tiptoed to Li Yansong's side, surrounding him in a circle.
"Mr. Li, do you have it? Let us take a look."
"I haven't heard of it being sold in the market?"
"Hey, you said we're not related to each other?"
Seeing that he had become the center of attention, Li Yansong couldn't help but feel a little distracted. He looked sideways at everyone: "You want to see it? You also want to know where I got this gold card?"
"Think about it!" A group of people said with deep curiosity in their eyes.
"Okay, I will open your eyes today. But we have something to say first. I have nothing to do with Fang Zhengyi, so everyone should stop making fun of this matter." Li Yansong said.
"Yes, yes! Everyone knows, hurry up, Mr. Li."
Li Yansong was so rested that he took out a golden card from his arms with a smile!
Gold was too soft, so it was embedded in jade to prevent it from deforming.
Purely handmade, the outside of the jade card holder is also engraved with exquisite patterns.
The Weika star with jade inlaid with gold and brocade clothes appeared in the world, and everyone was amazed.
"The gold card is so open! It can be regarded as a treasure on its own!"
"Oh, this workmanship is so exquisite! Is this... Tianji Star?"
"Look, what's the story behind it?"
Everyone got closer and closer, and Li Yansong hurriedly put away the gold card: "This is about Meng Ru, the star of Tianji. He lived in poverty and grew up in the mountains since he was a child. He was disconnected from the outside world. In order to let his neighbors live a good life, he opened the mountains and built tunnels. Story. A wise old man laughed at him, but he did not change his original intention and finally opened the passage. This is called Mencius drilling into the mountain!"
Some people exclaimed: "This boy has such great perseverance and is dedicated to the public. He deserves to be ranked in the Tianji Star! It is a pity that such people have gone to serve as soldiers under Fang Zheng."
"Why doesn't he move out?"
“It’s hard to leave your homeland.”
"Mr. Li, let us see again how you took it back. Don't be so picky!"
Guo Tianyang leaned over quietly, put his hands in his sleeves, and kept rubbing something, wondering in his heart.
Why are there two Tianji stars? Are there any duplicate gold cards?
Li Yansong turned to one side and said anxiously: "Don't look at it, if I break it, this is the only one on the market!"
Zhang Dongxiang teased: "Look at how stingy you are! Wherever you bought it, I'll buy it too."
Li Yansong sighed: "Okay, okay! Just this one, as if you are being generous. This card was given to me when I bought a clock from a new clock shop in the city."
"That's not right! I bought it too. I spent five thousand taels and no one gave it to me? I'll go find them!" Some onlookers became angry on the spot.
Li Yansong continued: "Five thousand taels? Only the 9,999 taels are available!"
"No one told me when I bought it, but as long as you buy it, they will give it to you!"
Zheng Qiao suddenly trembled, slapped his thigh and said, "Oh! I bought 7,500 taels, but I didn't get anything as a gift! Then I won't compensate you!"
"Mr. Li, you are really rich. I remember that the hands on the 10,000 taels are all made of pure gold!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yansong was not happy: "Hey, don't make such nonsense. I also spent a lot of money to buy it, that's 10,000 taels! I spent all my family's efforts to buy such a building, and I will keep it for now." A family heirloom!”
"Tell me, is the pocket watch that Fang Zhengyi gave me a good thing? Who among us can live without it now?"
"I don't know how to live without looking at my watch for a day now. I want to buy a few pieces for other juniors, but they are not available on the market."
"When I saw that the five thousand taels was too light, I felt bad. I gritted my teeth and bought the most expensive one. It would give him face to display in the ancestral hall, right?"
Everyone nodded, and some people beat their chests and regretted, saying: "If I had known this, I should have gritted my teeth and bought the most expensive one. The more expensive one is much heavier than the others, and the materials used are much more solid! It's really a small gain and a big loss!"
"Yes, if the gold card given is Tiankuixing, wouldn't it be worth a thousand taels cheaper inside and out? If it weren't for Tiankuixing, it would be worth hundreds of taels! Damn it, why did they hide it?"
"How long have you been buying it? Their guy said it's guaranteed to be returned within three days. If you can, return it as soon as possible."
"I can't return it! I bought it seven days ago!"
Zheng Qiao suddenly stretched out his arms and said loudly: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Why does something seem wrong the more I hear it!"
"You asked me why Fang Zhengyi gave us pocket watches in the first place, but suddenly became so generous. Are you just waiting for us here?"
"We couldn't live without pocket watches after using them, and then we set up a ridiculous watch shop that only sells table clocks but not pocket watches."
"Later on, they introduced the Jinyi Satellite Card. Those who buy the most expensive clock will get a gold card. This is all a conspiracy!"
Everyone fell into silence collectively.
Grass! That’s the truth!
This is an old lady wearing cotton pants, one set after another, and the whole set is in!
This bastard thought he was in trouble and that the prodigal son had turned around! Unexpectedly, the entire court was scratched by him without realizing it!
Everyone thought for a long time and felt uncomfortable. Suddenly someone broke the silence: "He can do it! Fang Zhengyi is so thoughtful!"
"Aren't you just waiting for us to get hooked?"
"I won't buy it! We won't need his stuff anymore! We won't buy anything from Taoyuan County!"
"How can this be a conspiracy? This is simply a conspiracy! Now that I don't have the pocket watch, I always feel like something is missing? If it breaks one day and I want to sell it again in the future, can you not buy it?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into silence again.
Yes, it’s impossible to live without a pocket watch now... The previous timekeeping method was too crude.
If you plan your life as roughly as before, you will be slower than others in everything you do.
And now the imperial court has adapted to planning time in hours and minutes, so you don’t have to keep up with others.
"How did you tell me how this thing was made? Is it true that only Taoyuan County can make this thing? Why don't you find some skilled craftsmen to take it apart and study it? I don't think there is anything mysterious about it!"
"I can't bear to part with it. Mr. Dong, if your family has money, why don't you try to dismantle one?"
"My family has no money, forget it."
"No! I can't swallow this. Go and shame him in front of him. Let's go together!" The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that they had been deceived. Zhang Dongxiang suddenly became angry and said.
"Okay! Let's go together, shame on him!"
