Just after Shen Wei came back from arranging things in the military camp, he saw Su Xiaoding waiting for him in the atrium with a face filled with anticipation. When she saw Shen Wei coming back, she hurried over.
"Brother Shen, you came back just in time!" Shen Wei was very surprised and looked at Su Xiaoding
"It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time. Is something wrong with you?"
"Yes, I asked you to give me three hundred taels of silver and let me make something!" Su Xiaoding said with a smile.
"Three hundred taels?" Shen Wei was so frightened that he almost jumped up.
"How dare you open your mouth! Do you know how much three hundred taels is?"
"This is what the adults said. If you don't believe me, you can ask the adults?" Su Xiaoding looked aggrieved and thought to herself, this is not the number I mentioned!
After hearing this, Shen Wei thought to himself that Su Xiaoding couldn't even get out of the gate now, and even if he was in Piaoyun Pavilion, he wouldn't dare to lie to him, so he nodded.
"Sure, I get it. Come with me and I'll give it to you!"
"Okay!" Before Shen Wei could take two steps, he saw two more people running over, one was Sun Yan, and the other was Huo Zhigang. When they saw Shen Wei, they also smiled. Shen Wei instinctively felt not good.
"Brother Shen is back!"
"Hey, don't say you want money too!" Shen Wei thought to himself, why does it feel like I'm in charge of this family?
"Yes, Brother Shen, you asked us to buy vegetables. We will spend money along the way. And if we find suitable vegetables, don't we have to pay a deposit? If you don't give it to us, what will we do?" Sun Yan said with a smile.
Shen Wei thought to himself, although the money was not his own, why did he feel so painful when he took it out?
Shen Wei stared at Sun Yan
"Sun Yan, let me warn you, this is for you to go out to do errands, not for you to spend money. I will give you one hundred taels. How and how you spent it will be recorded for me. If you dare to squander it for me, , I want your head!"
"Brother Shen, don't worry. Am I, Sun Yan, that kind of person? Let's order two dishes and eat steamed buns for every meal, okay?" Sun Yan said with a smile.
"Don't order meat, eat vegetables! Drink less wine, it will delay things!" Shen Wei warned loudly.
"Yes!" Sun Yan nodded in agreement! Shen Wei thought to himself, is everything okay this time? He took a few people to withdraw money, but on the way, Cheng Ling also came over. Before she could open her mouth, Shen Wei waved her hand.
"Do you want money?" Cheng Ling looked at the people around Shen Wei and probably guessed something.
"Yes! The house needs to buy chicken, fish, and meat, and the Lord also ordered us to prepare some firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc.!" Shen Wei felt helpless. These are a bunch of debt collectors!
In the end, these people took away four hundred and fifty taels. Shen Wei sighed and sighed, thinking that living in a mansion was really a waste of money!
Fortunately, Zhao Xuanyi can make money, otherwise he wouldn't be able to withstand the consumption of this group of people! Sun Yan got the money and immediately ordered
"Huo Zhigang, put on the six brothers, let's set off now!"
"But where are we going? Your Excellency didn't say anything?"
"Shandong has been reserved by the adults. I heard that not only Haitang Town, but other towns also bring vegetables to Haitang Town to sell to our people. Let's go to other places. Hebei and Henan are the closest, so let's go there Take a look! If you can find one with a suitable price, buy it directly and have someone come back to notify the team to get the food!" Sun Yan said.
"Okay, I'm going to find someone now!" Huo Zhigang said and left immediately! Sun Yan's baggage contained a hundred taels of silver. He was so excited. He had never received so much money in his life.
If nothing else, I’ll buy a roast chicken later to satisfy my craving. If not, I’ll buy two! The sky gradually dimmed, and Zhao Xuanyi's room finally became calm. Zhao Xuanyi hugged Zi Yuan and rubbed her ears and temples under the quilt. Zi Yuan's face was full of satisfaction, and she allowed Zhao Xuanyi to do whatever he wanted!
Zhao Xuanyi kissed Zi Yuan's ear
"Sister Ziyuan, why are you so beautiful?" Ziyuan heard this and hid shyly in Zhao Xuanyi's arms.
"My uncle knows how to coax girls!"
"Haha! I'm not coaxing anyone else! By the way, let me tell you something serious. If you sell these hairpins I asked Su Xiaoding to make, at what price can they be sold?" Zi Yuan put her pillow on the pillow. Picked up the butterfly beside him and shook it slightly. Looking at the flapping wings, he couldn't help but smile happily.
"This butterfly weighs about three taels of silver. With the gems on it, I think it should be sold for thirty taels without any problem!"
"Well, then sell it for fifty taels!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"What?" Zi Yuan turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi
"My uncle wants to sell fifty taels?"
"Natural!" Zhao Xuanyi gently touched the butterfly's wings with his fingers
"No one has been able to make such flexible wings since ancient times. I was the first to make them. Isn't it reasonable to sell them for fifty taels?"
"But...things are rare and valuable. If you only have this one, it won't be a problem for you to sell it for hundreds of taels. But we will sell more than this in the future. If the jade we got back from Shandong is used according to the butterfly wings, I can make a thousand at least, so the price won't be so expensive!" Zhao Xuanyi gently pinched Zi Yuan's nose.
"Sister Ziyuan is still smart, how can I do business like this? You also said that rare things are valuable, so can I understand that rare things are rare?"
"Uncle, what are you...?"
"Simple, from now on, only five butterflies, three birds, and one crane will be sold every month! There are only so many every month, and each one will be sold for fifty taels! I think those dignitaries will be crazy to buy them!" Zhao Xuanyi Said with a smile.
"But at your rate, you won't be able to buy many in a year!" Zi Yuan said.
"Sister, do you think we can make it fast? It's not easy for Su Xiaoding to make ten pieces a month by herself. And even if we can make a few more, we can also sell them somewhere else!"
"Change the place?" Zi Yuan looked at Zhao Xuanyi blankly, and suddenly thought of a possibility
"Do you want to sell these butterfly birds to Sun Ning?" Zhao Xuanyi chuckled.
"Clever! The friendship price is forty-five taels! How much he takes back and sells it is his own business!" Zi Yuan smiled.
"You bought the jade from someone for dozens of taels of silver and then sold it to someone else for a hundred times the price? Uncle, you are so bad!"
"Hey, hey, what you said is wrong. These stones have not changed, they are still the same gravel. It's just that he doesn't know how to use them. In his hands, they are worth thirty taels. What they are worth in my hands is another matter. Let it go! You actually said I was bad? No, I must be punished!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he lowered his head and bit Zi Yuan's shoulder!
"Ah...how will my uncle punish Zi Yuan?" Zi Yuan asked with a smile.
"Let's put it this way, if I let you get out of bed tomorrow, it's because I'm not capable enough!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he held Zi Yuan in his arms!
Zhao Xuanyi always kept his word. Early the next morning, everyone else got up to work. Zhao Xuanyi was still sleeping soundly in the room with Zi Yuan in his arms. Only the two of them knew the happiness in this!
After Shen Wei had breakfast, he led a few people to inspect the mansion. This was something he had to do every day. When he saw that Zi Yuan didn't come out to get breakfast for Zhao Xuanyi, Shen Wei could figure out what was going on without asking, so he didn't do it at all. Don't worry, as long as Zhao Xuanyi is happy!
But what Shen Wei didn't know was that a group of people were riding horses from the General's Mansion towards Piaoyun Pavilion. When Shen Wei came to the gate, he saw Tang Tianli wearing armor and standing guard. Shen Wei was very satisfied. , Tang Tianli came to Piaoyun Pavilion to be diligent and loyal, and never careless in doing things!
When Tang Tianli saw Shen Wei, he hurried over and clasped his hands in fists
"Brother Shen is here!"
"Well! Is there nothing wrong?"
"No, nothing happened. Even the little maid from Zuichun Tower hasn't been here for a long time!" Tang Tianli said with a smile.
Shen Wei raised his eyebrows, looked at Tang Tianli and smiled
"What? Miss me?"
"No!" Tang Tianli's big face instantly turned red.
"How could I? I haven't been able to afford my salary for so many years! When I save enough money in the future, I can just marry a daughter-in-law!" Shen Wei laughed.
"You, my boy, are already over 20 years old. It's not too early to get a wife. In this case, I will ask the young master for you that day and lend you money first. If you like someone who is willing to marry you, I will give you the money as soon as possible. The wedding is done!”
"Really?" Tang Tianli was very happy.
"Of course, money is nothing to our young master. What matters is whether you have a girl you want to marry?" Shen Wei asked.
Tang Tianli thought carefully
"No!"
"..." Shen Wei was speechless for a while, thinking to himself, what a silly kid! There is really no way!
"Ouch? Brother Shen, is that Miss Third?" Tang Tianli said, pointing to a group of people in the distance. Shen Wei turned around and saw Li Hanyan and Li Hanrui riding horses in front, followed by two horses and a carriage. When Shen Wei saw this, he was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground.
Grabbing Tang Tianli's wrist
"Brother, the time has come to show your loyalty. After the wife and the second young master arrive, I will tell them that the young master is busy with something and ask them to go to the front hall to drink tea. I will inform the young master later. Do you hear me?"
"I heard it, but Brother Shen, why are you so nervous?" Tang Tianli thought to himself, isn't it just to inform the Lord?
As for this?
"Do your job well!" After Shen Wei said that, he ran to the backyard like flying. Li Hanyan, Li Hanrui and others came to the door of Piaoyun Pavilion. Tang Tianli led everyone to kneel down immediately
"See the second young master and the third young lady!" Li Hanyan dismounted and looked inside.
"Where is my husband? We have something to do with him!" Tang Tianli smiled
"The third young lady and the second young master will go to the front hall to drink tea first. Your Excellency is busy with something. Brother Shen has already gone to report and will be back soon!" Tang Tianli said according to Shen Wei's instructions.
Li Hanyan snorted softly
"I wonder what he is busy with? Second brother, let's go in first!"
"It's done!" Li Hanrui came to the carriage and took Chen Xue out.
"This is my brother-in-law's own mansion, let's go in and have a look!"
"Okay!" Chen Xue said with a smile. Several people walked into the mansion under the leadership of Tang Tianli. After entering, Chen Xue looked around and couldn't help but nod.
"Master Zhao is really capable, since he has such a big mansion in the capital!" Li Hanyan curled her lips.
"I wonder when he got it. Second brother, will you ask Xuanyi to get one for you in the future?" Li Hanrui laughed after hearing this.
"My good sister, do you know how much money this mansion costs? Don't joke!" Li Hanyan really didn't know
"How much is it?" Li Hanrui looked at it carefully and finally sighed.
"With the land area of this mansion and such a good location, I guess I can't win it without this amount!" Li Hanrui made a number three with his hands!
"Thirty thousand taels? So expensive?" Li Hanyan shouted in surprise. Li Hanrui was so angry that his eyes didn't fall out.
"I'm talking about three hundred thousand taels!"
"Three hundred thousand...?" Li Hanyan finally bit her tongue off.
"So expensive?"
