Rebirth: Perfect Rural Life - Chapter 250
Zhong Li shook his head. Another mouse said, “the girls in the western regions are really good. They can’t be forgotten. They eat marrow and know how to taste. However, if they want to marry as a daughter-in-law, I still refuse to agree. Their character is too bold and unrestrained.”
When Fang Yizheng heard what the man with the nickname of mouse said, he glared at him. Fang ruxiu smiled and Zhong Li said, “door master, you don’t know. Do you know who is the most lucky person when we go to the western regions this time?”
“Who?” Fang ruxiu asked.
“Mice.” Zhong Li laughed, “the men in the western regions are tall, so those women like mice, who are short.”
“Elder brother, what are you talking about? Where am I short? I’m obviously handsome. What they like is our spirit.” the mouse said with a firm chest.
Next to someone else smiled, “I don’t know who it is. It’s like the God of plague to avoid those girls.”
Hearing this, the mouse stared at the speaker, but he didn’t talk much. He was afraid that he would hide from talking again. More embarrassing things in the western regions would be shaken out by these unreliable brothers.
“Well, well, don’t say that. I’ll rest assured that everyone can come back safely.” Fang ruxiu raised her glass and congratulated the people.
After a meal, the host and guest enjoyed themselves, and everyone took another nap. Zhong Li and others carried the two boxes to Fang ruxiu’s room and opened them.
“Wow.” Fang ruxiu couldn’t help but exclaim, because the precious stones in the box were so beautiful.
“Get a lamp quickly.” Fang ruxiu said. Fang Yizhi touched a lamp in her room and gave it to her.
She took off the lampshade, lit the lamp with a torch, and then put these gemstones close to the lamp. Under the light, the gemstones looked more and more shining and transparent.
There are many precious stones in this box. Fang ruxiu took them out one by one. Finally, he stretched out his hand and gave them a thumb, “you are great. If these precious stones are changed into money, they must cost at least 100000 Liang.”
“Really?” several people also exclaimed when they heard Fang ruxiu’s words. Such a little gem was 100000 Liang. They thought they would lose money before.
“Of course, you see this jade is transparent, and this jade is imperial green. It makes people intoxicated.” Fang ruxiu said with an intoxicated look, and then picked up another jade and said: “Look at this ice jade with floating blue flowers, which is crystal clear and dotted with blue flowers. It’s like a group of fairies in blue skirts dancing on the ice and snow lake. Do you say it’s beautiful?”
“Beauty!” they nodded hurriedly, and the Scriptures said like embroidery, as if they really felt that the blue dots in the ice jade were beautiful fairies.
“These things are worth so much money in the eyes of a knowledgeable person like me, but in fact, if they are really sold in a shop that collects these gemstones, they should only sell for twenty or thirty thousand, minus my capital and my previous efforts. So I’ll give you three thousand Liang each on your trip. Of course, I don’t have money for you at the moment , when the time comes, I’ll ask someone to make these jewelry, sell it, and then give you money! “Fang ruxiu said with a smile.
“Three thousand taels per person?” these people have never seen so much money in their life. Moreover, we clearly remember that they spent five thousand taels of silver on the carts of silk they transported when they went, but now, the five of them alone have received three times the return.
“Of course.” Fang ruxiu covered the lid and said, “with these precious stones, I can make many beautiful jewelry. At that time, I will directly open the shop to Fucheng, and many people will buy it. At that time, 3000 Liang is not a small deal?”
“You should have a good rest and practice Kung Fu. I guess there are many dangers you encounter during this period.”
“Yes!” Zhong Li and others should be happy.
They opened another box to Fang ruxiu. There were some good fur in it, but Fang ruxiu sighed when he saw these fur.
“What’s the matter? Are these fur inferior and worthless?” Zhong Li asked hurriedly when he heard Fang ruxiu sigh.
At the moment, his face has taken a thin anger. It seems that he is angry that those people lied to him.
“No, I’m just lamenting that so many fur must have killed many rare animals.” Fang ruxiu said faintly, “well, it’s all right. My girl family sometimes likes to lament these. You don’t care. Let’s go down.”
A group of people went to the study. Fang ruxiu picked up pen, ink, paper and inkstone, brushed two strokes, wrote a fifteen thousand IOU, handed it to Zhong Li and others, and then took out five hundred silver tickets from her sleeve to them.
“OK, this is all my belongings. Let’s keep them for you for the new year.” Fang ruxiu said with a smile: “when the second half of next year, we’ll go again to transport more goods and make more money together. So after the new year, we’ll find some suitable people. Then we’ll set up a caravan and you’ll be the five masters.”
“OK.” everyone was quite comfortable and wanted to respond positively, but they revealed some fatigue.
At present, they are coming back from the dust, and what they want most is rest. Fang ruxiu knows their psychology, so she says there is something to do, and she asks them to have a rest years later.
She had their room cleaned up early in the morning.
Early the next morning, they had breakfast together. Fang ruxiu gave red envelopes to the servants, guards and shopkeepers in the yard, said goodbye to them and left.
She’s in a hurry to go home for the new year.
After returning home, ye and others saw Fang Yizheng coming back. They were sad and comforted. Fang Yizheng answered everything on the way one by one. Ye knew that Fang Yizheng had gone to the western regions and other countries.
She scolded Fang Yizheng’s brother and sister for being too brave to hide it from her, but she was angry again, but her son had returned safely, and she didn’t say much, so she took this little girl to wash the dust for him.
At the dinner table, Ye Shi talked about Xu Jiaqi’s words again. It turned out that he was really set by someone. Xu Jiaqi ran all over the town and the county. People were willing to take his bowl, but they didn’t take much. He ran several times. After failure, he went to question his brother. He had no choice but to tell the truth.
He said that the quality of his bowls was really good, but it was because the kiln fell down and couldn’t be sold at once that they were so cheap. Of course, it must be a good mixture. Although he didn’t say these, Xu Jiaqi could imagine.
The Xu family failed to do big business for the first time, which made the Xu family a little decadent and even not very interesting. It was Fang Changhui who came to Fang ruxiu’s house to explain the situation and thank his brother by the way.
In fact, Fang ruxiu can understand Xu Jiaqi’s psychology of wanting to make money. Who doesn’t want to make money, but can’t find a way, so she hurried away, that is, she drew a big cake for herself and only suffered a loss.
“Dad, if my uncle comes again next time, why don’t you persuade him to open another grocery store in the county? He has experience in opening a grocery store. Although he makes less money, a little makes a lot.” Fang ruxiu gave an idea to the Xu family.
“You’re right. I also think it’s no good to think like them. For example, I’m a farmer. I’ll take good care of my fields at home in the future.” Fang Changfu said proudly.
“Yes, Dad, you are a big landlord.”
Because Fang Yizhi was admitted as a scholar, heaven and earth in his family now don’t have to pay taxes, which leads many people to want to hang heaven and earth under Fang Yizhi’s name. However, most Fang Changfu refused, leaving only some friends. The family is really poor, so they will hang it for two or three years.
First, it’s because these people hang the land under his name. It’s really unclear. Second, if they all hang it under his name, it’s also an illegal thing. It’s just that some relatives and friends can’t refuse, so they can only respond.
Of course, Fang Changfu is the most proud one. Because Fang Yizhi was admitted to the scholar, he has bought a lot of land this year and began to buy land as soon as he has more money.
No way, as a farmer, only these visible fields are reliable.
In his opinion, with land, there will be no big problems at home in the future. Even those shops in the county have problems, but the land is still there and you can’t die of hunger.
Fang ruxiu also likes to buy more land, so he naturally supports him. Being a landlord, he has someone to help him collect the rent every day. He doesn’t have to think about anything or do anything. How good it is.
In addition to the family reunion on the day of Xiaonian, everyone is relatively relaxed. The rest of the days are busy. Fang ruxiu and ye are busy preparing the annual rites of each family. Fang Changfu, Fang Yizheng and Fang Yizhi are busy sending things. Even Fang Yicheng is sent to send some nearby families, such as several uncles.
Because Liu has a pig, he doesn’t have to sell pork at other people’s houses this year. He directly bought a whole pig from Liu, a big pig of 200 kg. During the new year’s ceremony, more than half of the meat was used, leaving only about 50 kg. Fang ruxiu kept it for himself.
Many people eat less fast.
On the new year’s Eve, Fang Changheng and others finally came back. They went to the old house and had a family reunion dinner together. This is a real rich year. What meat and fish are very rich. It’s no longer the same as before. It’s not easy to have some meat during the new year. They have to count and cut it.
In the past, they would rob for a few pieces of meat, but now they don’t rob. Fang Yiqian and others raised these food in Fang ruxiu’s house. In addition, they are really sensible. They didn’t rob and shout at the dinner table this year. Fang Yiyun has also grown up. Fang Yiqin is very polite. Although Fang Yiyuan is a little hungry, no one has robbed her now. She eats all by herself. Everyone agrees with Meimei and you are humble. This reunion dinner is still a reunion.
When he got home, he received Lin Jin’an’s letter with a thousand Liang silver note attached. He said it was inconvenient for him to go back, so he gave Fang ruxiu all the money he had saved during this period and asked them to buy something by themselves.
