After getting the bottle of spring flowers, steward Zhang hurried to Sishui county with only two attendants. They are familiar with the road over there, so they can go back there even if they take the path.
After three days, he finally returned to Zhangjiazhuang.
Zhang laocai was sitting in the main room drinking tea. Suddenly, seeing that the people he sent came back so soon, he put down his tea bowl and asked, "the things over there have been done so soon?"
Steward Zhang wiped his sweat and was covered with dust and cold. When I first entered the house, I felt a layer of cream on my face.
After drinking a bowl of water, he changed the burden behind him.
"Sir, look at this good thing first. It's a royal thing. If it weren't for the fun of the little princess or princess, we wouldn't get such a good priceless treasure."
When steward Zhang finished, he put the bottle of spring flowers carved with dragon patterns on the table.
Zhang laocai also likes to play with some antique calligraphy and paintings. After all, he was born a rich man. What he was most worried about was that others said that he only smelled of copper, not books.
Therefore, in order to make himself more educated, there are many celebrity calligraphy and paintings in his study. As for antique vases, there are also some.
When his eyes fell on the bottle, a pair of small mouse like squint eyes immediately shrank.
He hurried around from behind the desk and took out a Western mirror from his arms. After touching it with his hand, he said, "the bottle is really good, but how much silver did you spend?"
As soon as manager Zhang heard this, he immediately burst into sweat. So he said, "Sir, you don't know the wonderful function of this vase. Let me show you later, and you will know the benefits of this thing."
The two family slaves who followed him back also had a light on their faces. Thinking about this time, in front of the master, someone will show his face at last. He hurried out to find a dry branch, and then ran back.
Zhang laocai didn't know what his men were up to, so he stood quietly watching.
I saw that steward Zhang pretended to play tricks and danced for a while, and then said, "spring is warm and flowers bloom!"
The next moment, he almost scared Zhang laocai. He saw a clear spring coming out of the bottle.
He held a handful of water in his hand and sniffed it under his nose. At this time, the dry branch had been inserted into the bottle. A moment later, Zhang laocai's eyes widened!
I'm afraid this is the biggest time he has opened his eyes in his life. What a feeling it is to see dead trees in spring with his own eyes?
"Well, it's really a good thing. It's worth how much it costs." Zhang laocai smiled and held the bottle.
When manager Zhang heard the speech, he was relieved and said, "it was a small man who made the decision privately and bought it with 100000 liang of silver."
"Well, it's good. It's really good to buy such a good baby with 100000 liang of silver. Hahaha, next time I'll invite those guys who think they are very noble to come and see it, so that they will always look down on my business."
"By the way, sir, this vase is actually a pair, and there is another one." steward Zhang warned carefully.
Zhang laocai held the bottle, frowned and said, "why don't you buy it all at once?"
"Back to the master, people said that the other one and this one should be sold separately. And that one should be sold for at least 200000. It is said that the baby is divided into male and female. The cheap one we bought is female, and the one in her hand is male, so it should be more expensive."
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver is a little more, but it's cheap compared with the value of the baby itself. I'll get you two hundred taels of silver. Go back and buy the other bottle."
Zhang laocai said that, then he took steward Zhang to the accounting room. To be on the safe side, I brought him 250000 taels of silver this time.
This is not a small sum of money. Even if Zhang laocai is rich, he feels a burst of flesh pain when he takes out so much money at once.
But when he thought that he could show off in front of those poor scholars, he immediately clenched his teeth and stuffed the silver ticket into the steward.
"You'll go back after dinner. You can't let others buy that good thing. If one day these two bottles meet, our female won't obey the male again when she meets the male, what should we do?"
Seeing Lao Cai Zhang's dignified appearance, in order to do this job well, steward Zhang quickly said, "Sir, in order to enable the master to get these two treasures at one stroke, even if I go through fire and water, I won't eat the meal. I have to go back as soon as possible. The little girl said that if someone offered a higher price, she would sell it directly."
"Then you hurry back and buy it. I have a lot of rewards. You must buy it, otherwise you don't have to come back."
Steward Zhang didn't dare to neglect. He took some dry food directly, got on his horse and began to rush back.
Tian Yuqiao has sold her shop for 80000 liang of silver, plus the previous 30000. She suddenly feels like she has become a nouveau riche.
Caicai also secretly hid behind manager Zhang and followed him all the way back. Now that the goal has been achieved, it is no longer necessary to stay in Zhang's house and continue acting.
Three days later, when steward Zhang returned to Zhangjiazhuang, Caicai had gone back to see Tian Yuqiao and told her that he had 250000 liang of silver with him.
Tian Yuqiao went to Gongsun Yu all night. Murong Bo came out with a calm face.
"Tomorrow, it is estimated that someone will come to ask for another bottle. You must cooperate with me. I plan to sell this other bottle to 250000 Liang. You must help." Tian Yuqiao said with a smile.
Gongsun Yu didn't think about it, so he nodded and agreed: "well, it doesn't hurt to do such a funny thing a few more times."
Murong Bo said, "cut, cheat."
"But among the three of us, you will be a rich man in the future. Should you share the cost along the way?" Gongsun Yu said with a smile.
Tian Yuqiao turned his eyes helplessly and said, "Hey, I'm a small family. I sold my ancestral treasure this time. Don't you two usually say you're a man and a big husband? How can you bully a youngest girl like me? If it comes out..."
