MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 113

When Xu He sent Zhang Fangyuan to the gate of Qianchun Building, he saw that there were already people coming and going at the gate of the restaurant, and they came at the right time, and the guests who were going to meet had not yet arrived.

Zhang Fangyuan got off the carriage and rushed over, leaving the carriage to Xu He to sit back and come to pick him up later.

Xu He lifted the curtain of the car and watched Zhang Fangyuan enter the door. He also planned to go home and cook for the two children. Before the carriage turned around, a carriage with a gorgeous roof stopped at the entrance of Qianchun Building surrounded by dozens of strong men. Even the shopkeeper of the restaurant came out to greet him.

There were not a few wealthy people in Siyang City, but it was the first time to see such a big battle, so Xu He couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

The tall and broad carriage is twice as wide as the carriage of the rich family of the village chief. When the carriage stopped, even a servant who accompanied him quickly ran to the door of the carriage and knelt down on the ground, using his hands and feet to support his broad back like a stool. It was generally flat, and after a while, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a pair of white and slender jade hands.

Immediately, a well-maintained middle-aged man's face appeared. A pair of mink boots woven with gold thread stepped on the servant's back. The two strong men supported each other. The densely woven belt is hung with dizzying gold medals and jade buckles, and the robe inlaid with gold, silver and jade shines brightly in the sun, as if the God of Wealth has descended to earth.

It was too late to feel the value of this outfit, the jade-handed master who was holding the curtain on the carriage before also got out of the carriage with the master, his skin was white and snowy, and the thin brocade was fluttering. Being better than the singer of Washer made people like Xu He, who were already frugal and didn't spend much time on clothes, feel even more ashamed.

In just a few glances, a group of people went upstairs, allowing the passers-by who watched from a distance to have a new understanding of wealth.

Xu He thought he had seen quite a lot in the past few years, and he had seen many rich and powerful families in the city, many of them had spacious houses, as if entering a fairy mansion, but today he just took a glimpse of the rich man from the sedan chair. I really feel that I have been insignificant before.

No wonder Zhang Fangyuan was willing to go as a small companion, he called the coachman: "Come back."

When Zhang Fangyuan returns home, let him talk about what he saw and heard today.

Back at the house, the cook had already prepared the meals, and the two boys had also returned from the private school, and were sitting in the dining room waiting for the meal to be served.

"Little Daddy is back, and he thought he was going out for a banquet with Big Daddy, so he won't go back to the house for dinner today at noon." Hearing the movement, Brother Xiaoli ran out first.

Not to mention Zhang Fangyuan's tall and burly, Xu He was also a tall brother from ten miles and eight villages back then. Both of them were tall, and the cub was also very long. Waist, already the tallest kid in the neighborhood.

Xu He rubbed brother Li's hair: "The eldest daddy went to a banquet, and the little daddy went to the bookstore to get ink for you two."

"But it's Xinmo?"

Ruijin, who had been only watching the two talking without saying a word, only opened her mouth when she heard that Mo.

Brother Xiao Li raised his eyes sideways: "When I heard that there is paper and ink, my brother's eyes lit up."

Xu He laughed, and asked the servant to show Ruijin the ink he bought today.

The elder brother also didn't pay attention to Brother Xiaoli's words, and looked at Mo directly: "It's good ink, such a glossy material can be regarded as Lu ink. Oil smoke ink and pine smoke ink are both good, thank you dad."

"Brother likes it so much, why don't you take my share as well." Brother Xiaoli lay on the edge of the table and looked at Ruijin: "The bento is my congratulations to brother in advance."

Xu He didn't understand, so he asked, "Is there anything to celebrate?"

"Father doesn't know. Master Luo said today that a man can't just study to be able to recite poems and enjoy the moon. Put it on my elder brother. The master said that since my elder brother has reached the age of the Nengtong examination this year, he might as well give it a try this year."

Xu He's eyes widened slightly: "Your brother only came of age in March, and the child's exam is due in May, isn't it too rushed? Dad heard that most of the students in the city's child's exam take the exam at the age of seven or eight. There are quite a few who go again at the age of ten."

"Passing the children's test before the age of ten is considered a submission. Mr. Luo said that students in the capital will be proud of passing the children's test before the age of ten. Counting with their fingers, they can only leave at the age of six, and they are proud at the age of ten. It's only been four years, and the time is tight." Brother Xiaoli put his face on his face and said, "There are many people in the world who are in their 40s or 50s and can't pass the children's exam. It's common sense that Mr. Luo wants to hurry up."

"You don't need Tong Kao, you don't have back pain when you stand and talk." Xu He poked Brother Li on the forehead.

"I don't have it." Brother Xiaoli covered his head: "Why don't daddy change my brother's clothes for me, and I'll go off too?"

"Don't mess around." Ruijin opened his mouth and interrupted Brother Li's proposal in time. This little brother said that the wind is like rain, so he might not be able to do it. Cutting off the signs early is better than anything else: "Left and right There is an exam, it is good to try it a year earlier, if you have learned from it, it will be better to take the exam next year. For this reason, I promised my master that I will go to the exam this year."

"Don't worry, Daddy." Brother Xiaoli tilted his head and blinked his eyes: "Is it possible that brother will fail the exam?"

Seeing that his son was so motivated, Xu He naturally didn't have much to say. He was relieved and slapped Brother Li on the head: "Don't put pressure on brother."

"I don't have it!"

Brother Xiaoli pouted and looked at Ruijin. Seeing Brother Smelly pursed his lips slightly, without saying a word or defending himself, he narrowed his eyes and snorted softly: "Okay, since brother doesn't say anything, Then he didn't say anything.

"Dinner." The girl cook brought the lunch, and Zhang Ruijin picked up chopsticks for brother Li to mix the vegetables: "I see that you haven't moved a single word of the words that the master told me in the morning, so I will go over and write them in the afternoon. "

"I know."

In the afternoon, the two children ate and rested at home for an hour and then returned to the school. As soon as they left, Zhang Fangyuan went home.

It was the hottest time at this time, Zhang Fangyuan came back covered in sweat, and hurriedly took off his outer robe: "It's so hot in April that I can't even wear the outer robe, and I'm afraid it will be terrible when it's summer."

"It's okay. At the end of last year, there were a lot of ice cubes in the cellar in the village, which is enough for the summer heat."

Xu He took Zhang Fangyuan's outer robe and was about to hang it on the hanger. He smelled a faint fragrance on the outer robe, which was delicate, and he couldn't help smelling it more.

"It's the smell of agarwood, made by the rich businessman today."

Xu He thought about the person he met on the sedan chair, put away his clothes and went back to the table, and poured Zhang Fangyuan a cup of tea: "Tell me about today."

"I'm very tired. The salt merchant is extremely rich. During the banquet, there were all flatterers and toasts. I don't know how many words of flattery I have never heard before."

"What's the matter, tell me and listen."

Zhang Fangyuan raised the corner of his mouth: "I can tell you at night."

Xu He Ning raised his eyebrows and patted the hand on his shoulder: "You're not serious. I opened the curtain today and caught a glimpse of the rich businessman. He is really rich."

"Wealth is real, and the outfit can be bought, that's all it takes to spend a piece of money, but the rules of the entourage are not achieved in a day." Zhang Fangyuan said: "I heard that the rich businessman I also bought a row of shops in the northwest of the city, not one or two, but a whole half of the street."

Xu He's eyes widened when he heard that, foreign businessmen came to the county town to buy real estate and shops, which were already more expensive than local ones, yet they actually bought so much. He sighed: "He can use so many shops."

"That piece is a newly built market. The price of the shops is not high. You can keep some for yourself, and you can rent out some of them to collect the rent. Why don't you invite the merchants in Siyang to have a party? Otherwise, such people How do you meet with the tenants?" Zhang Fangyuan said: "I know Mr. Huang who built the new street, and I have already reserved three or four shops, and they can be rented out when the other side is up."

"Okay." Xu He put his face on his face, somewhat similar to Brother Li's expression, and sighed slightly: "I thought our family had built a lot of shops in the early morning, which pales in comparison to that rich businessman. They are all merchants, how can he be so rich, you say he is a salt merchant, and this salt merchant makes money like this."

Zhang Fangyuan laughed when he heard the words: "My silly little brother, the merchants in this world are not all the same. There are quite a few families like ours who have made their fortunes half by hard work and half by chance, but they can really climb into the salt industry." However, there are only a handful of them. If you think about it, this salt is indispensable for three meals. You can’t live without food for a few days, and you can’t live without salt for a few days, and the price is high. Where in the world can there be a more profitable business than this. "

Xu He is good at cooking, and he knows that salt is the first of all flavors: "It would be great if we can also do salt business."

"If we can do this business, we will have nothing to worry about." Zhang Fangyuan slumped on the chair: "Not to mention that we rarely have the opportunity to get in touch with merchants in the salt business, and the salt industry is controlled by the imperial court. , To get Yanyin, it is more difficult than going to heaven. I heard some news, I heard that the imperial court gave Yanyin to merchants, in addition to collecting offerings, it also depends on the family background of the merchants, the water is very deep."

Xu He said: "I'm just talking nonsense, how can there be such a good thing that can climb into such a business."

He stood up, squeezed Zhang Fangyuan's hand, and started a new topic: "Ruijin said that this time he will have an exam."

"Good thing!" Zhang Fangyuan straightened up again after hearing the words: "It doesn't cost money to be left and right. Anyway, you can take the exam when you are old. It's good to practice more. We didn't buy this ink for nothing. I'll wait two days later." Go find two good pens and come back."

Xu He nodded with a smile: "Hey, fine."

"Brother Dao and Second Cousin will come in two days to discuss the opening of trade routes. This matter should be put on the agenda earlier while we are free."
