Take a Door with You - Chapter 187
Chapter 187 Strong Buy and Strong Sell! Shangjing brothers and sisters! [Ask for a monthly pass! 】
“This is the ‘Rejuvenation Immortal Talisman’, which is exactly the same as the Immortal Talisman that Yang used to heal Hero Ma at the Chongxian Conference.”
Cao Xin is the most honest and trustworthy. He found Lu Yu and offered two fairy talismans with both hands.
“Rejuvenation Talisman!”
Lu Yu took it, feeling delighted for a moment.
This time, he exchanged the Nine Skills of Chess Immortals for Immortal Talismans, although the waiting in the early stage and the half month of first delivery and later payment made him quite disturbed.
But looking back carefully, everything went well.
There are no strings attached when trading.
Although it took half a month to inspect the goods after the transaction, after the verification, it was very simple to give the ‘payment’.
Far more disciplined three-pointers than he expected in the best case.
And Yang Guo and Shenhou Mansion are so straightforward, as if the “immortal talisman” is dispensable, without any pity, this attitude also made Lu Yu feel a lot of thoughts: “Perhaps, the “immortal talisman” given to Shenhou Mansion by the immortal ‘ Not a few, or—”
Empathy.
If it was rare, Lu Yu would never be willing to give away this life-saving treasure at will.
Only when there is no shortage, can you be so generous.
This is a good thing.
The more willing you are.
It shows that the more real the fairy mountains and the friendlier the immortals, the greater the chance that they will be able to contact the immortals in the future.
Lu Yu thought about it, how happy he was.
This side.
Cao Xin looked at Lu Yu, and talked about another deal: “When Yang and Brother Diao traveled overseas and traveled to and from fairy mountains, they came across a large island 7,300 miles south of Yashan Mountain. The island is very rich in mineral resources. Gold and silver are everywhere, I wonder if the imperial court is interested?”
“Seven thousand three hundred miles?”
Lu Yu was taken aback.
He was not interested in maritime affairs in the past, but since the Chongxian Conference in May, he has learned about it with his heart.
As far as he knew.
Daliang’s fleet has been to an island country named ‘Java’ at most in the south. This is the limit of the South China Sea. Afterwards, there will be many storms, no matter how difficult it is to shuttle, it is the dead sea.
The “Java Kingdom” is only four thousand miles away from the southernmost Yashan Province of Daliang.
But what about Cao Xin.
One shot, hit seven thousand three hundred miles away?
“However, the islands 7,300 miles away, even though there are gold mines and silver mines everywhere, it is not easy to mine.”
“It’s hard to come and go.”
Traveling seven thousand miles to an overseas isolated island to mine gold and silver mines?
I’m afraid there is something wrong with my brain!
Lu Yu shook his head, not interested.
“Brother Lu is not so short-sighted?”
Cao Xin said: “Although ‘Treasure Island’ is 7,300 miles away, the route is far away, and there are many turmoil. But there are indeed many gold and silver deposits on the island, and the imperial court will not lose money if they occupy them. Allocation of a fleet to Treasure Island, with Brother Diao leading the way, can explore a safe and stable route, and directly expand the waters of the South China Sea in Daliang from 4,000 miles to 7,300 miles. Think about the number of islands in the sea. How much wealth is it? And the most important point—”
Cao Xin looked at Lu Yu, bewildered: “‘Treasure Island’ is the only way to go to Xianshan, go to Treasure Island to manage it earlier, and once Shenhou announces the location of Xianshan in the future, the imperial court can go to Xianshan one step faster Meet the fairy.”
“…”
“Brother Yang, don’t talk about it, how much is it, count it!”
When Lu Yu heard this, he obeyed decisively.
You didn’t say it earlier!
If he said Xianshan earlier, he should have answered it earlier.
As for gold, silver, and mineral deposits—
How can some vulgar things compare to fairy mountains and immortals!
“…”
Now Cao Xin was stunned, and Lu Yu’s attitude change was too fast. He laughed to hide his embarrassment, and then said: “Treasure Island plus the route, the total price is two million taels of silver.”
Treasure Island!
The value is not cheap.
But what is more valuable is this route.
Whether it is Treasure Island or the route, Cao Xin is not fooling Lu Yu, and he is not an empty-handed white wolf.
Of course, ‘Treasure Island’ was not discovered by him.
It’s Chongyang real person.
This old-fashioned boat goes out to sea, and records and draws all the sea areas, islands, and land that it passes on the way.
When parting, give it to Cao Xin.
The sea chart is rough, and it is simply unrealistic to rely on the chart of Chongyang Master to go to the “Longevity Island” where Cao Xin and Chongyang Master met by chance.
To know.
Chongyang real person encountered many dangers along the way.
He had encountered storms many times, and he was swept by the waves. He didn’t know the south, east, north, and west. Without his strength, he couldn’t cross those seas at all.
therefore.
This chart is of limited value.
But Cao Xin has a divine sculpture, which can overlook and explore the way from a high altitude.
By comparing with the chart, you can identify islands and explore routes.
Don’t say seven thousand three hundred miles.
It is the “Longevity Island” 260,000 miles away. As long as he is willing to spend time and energy, he is sure to lead a fleet from the South China Sea to reach the destination.
The vast ocean.
is Cao Xin’s back garden and cash machine.
And this time.
Selling the island he named ‘Treasure Island’ that Chongyang Daoist once passed by, in order to quickly realize a large amount of money.
“Two million taels!”
“This-“
If it is a complete route to Xianshan, let alone two million taels, it is 20 million taels, and the imperial court can afford it.
But if only part of—
Lu Yu hesitated, looked at Cao Xin, and asked a key question: “I don’t know how far the fairy mountain is from my beam?”
“Two hundred and sixty thousand miles.”
Cao Xin did not hide anything, and told the truth.
“so far?!”
Lu Yu was startled, he made a silent calculation, and then raised his head: “How about this, the imperial court is willing to pay 80 million taels for the complete route to Xianshan—”
“do not!”
“Eighty million taels!”
“Mr. Yang dares to accept it, but Brother Lu dares to give it?”
Cao Xin waved his hand.
It’s really boring to fight with each other here.
Eighty million taels?
Cao Xin did not doubt whether the Daliang court could take it out.
But do they dare to bet?
Cao Xin gave the chart, but they didn’t verify it?
The 260,000-mile sea journey, when their fleet arrives, after verification, Cao Xin has to wait until the Year of the Monkey?
Oh, right!
Almost forgot!
“The key is-“
“The fairy mountain does not exist!”
If you really want to pay the imperial court after the inspection, then you will be cheated.
As for, without verification, I will give 80 million for nothing—
What, there is everything in the dream.
It’s better to dream.
Yes.
Cao Xin didn’t even bother to discuss this with Lu Yu, it was a waste of emotion to no avail.
“two millions.”
“Treasure Island.”
“Do you want to do it?”
Cao Xin got up and looked at Lu Yu: “If you don’t want to, I will find other people to cooperate, but in the future, the court will never want to let you go.
Shenhou Mansion gets any information from Xianshan and Xianren. “
Moon Art chapter in hand.
Cao Xin completely stiffened up.
In short.
If Lu Yu doesn’t buy it today, it will be broken up, and there will be no contact with each other from now on.
“Brother Yang, this is a strong buy and sell.”
Lu Yu smiled wryly, really not sure, this person is a monkey, so if he said he would turn his back on him, he would turn his back on it.
Heard the words.
Cao Xin said with a smile: “If it is really forced to buy and sell, I just held the fairy talisman, and I am afraid that Brother Lu will not follow? Brother Lu, don’t want to take advantage of it and act like a good boy. As long as the ‘Treasure Island’ is well developed, In the future, the annual output of gold and silver will not be less than the sum of the three southwestern provinces. I am thinking of brother Lu and the court, and this is a win-win situation.”
The three southwestern provinces of Daliang are full of silver mines, and the annual mining volume exceeds one million taels.
“Although gold and silver are good, they are lonely overseas and difficult to transfer.”
Lu Yu sighed.
“How difficult is this.”
“In the future, the gold and silver mined by Daliang on Treasure Island will just stay on the island, and there is no need to transfer back. If there is any business in our Shenhou Mansion, the court will pay with the gold and silver inventory on Treasure Island. Yang Get it yourself.”
Cao Xin said, touching the gold ring on his hand.
“This-“
It was only then that Lu Yu remembered that someone has the treasure of the Immortal Family, the “Qiankun Ring”. He asked curiously, “How much is the price of this Immortal Ring?”
“Priceless!”
Cao Xin cherishes words like gold.
“Ha ha!”
Lu Yu laughed dryly, and when he saw that this matter was being said, he didn’t dare to evade, and immediately said: “Then two million!”
“Happy!”
“Payment within ten days if you work!”
Cao Xin cupped his hands at Lu Yu, bid farewell and left.
…
Meet Lu Yu.
The deal is done.
The second day is New Year’s Eve.
The seven years of Qianyou are about to pass, and the new year is coming.
Cao Xin spent last year with his eldest sister in Qishan School.
But this year, when he was in Xijing, he went back to Caojiazhuang, together with his mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, younger brother Cao Liang, and little niece Cao An.
Last July.
By the end of the year.
Cao Xin has not returned to Caojiazhuang in a fair manner for a year and a half.
One back.
There was a burst of joy in Zhuangzhong.
Cao Zhang.
Little Cao Liang.
Sister-in-law Cheng Jing.
Including the eldest brother Cao Ren who often meets.
Everyone is very happy.
But Mrs. Cao Zhang still had regrets. She looked behind Cao Xin and couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you come back alone? Where’s your eldest sister?”
Cao Zhang has a deep relationship with Cao Xian. I haven’t seen him for a year and a half, and I really miss them.
But alas.
“The eldest sister is still in Qishan.”
“However, she had a good time in Qishan, her martial arts has improved rapidly, and she has a high prestige among the sect.”
Cao Xin laughed.
actually.
When he left the Qishan School, Cao Xiancai had just got out of bed.
In the battle with Liu Wenqi, the head of the Changbai Sword Sect’s “Four Spirits and Jade”, the “Multi-Armed Spirit Sword” Liu Wenqi was victorious. Even though Cao Xian had his own “Drenched Purple Qi” and Cao Xin’s medical treatment, he still lay down for a full month, seriously injured .
Fortunately, it is not fatal.
and.
This battle established her a very high prestige in the Qishan faction, and she is quite the leader of the younger generation.
In Qishan today, there is a lack of such a daring spiritual leader.
Qishan faction needs.
Also Cao Xian is Cao Xin’s sister.
Ren San is unnatural, so please take care of him.
In the future.
Cao Xian’s status in the Qishan faction will not be too low.
“Eldest sister is very powerful now.”
Cao Xin reported the good news but not the bad news, and picked up good things to tell Cao Zhang and his sister-in-law.
Cao Zhang felt relieved, but she still thought about it. She pulled Cao Xin and said, “The pair of parrots that your sister caught before she left had already hatched two broods of chicks. Now there are quite a few of them in the family, and they are flying around the village all day long. , it’s too lively.”
The pair of budgies—
Cao Xin remembered.
However, Cao Xian was happy to miss Shu in the Qishan School, and he had long forgotten about the pair of parrots he caught at random.
The poor old lady is still helping her to raise at home, litter after litter.
Cao Xin followed Cao Zhang to the house to see the parrots who were afraid of the cold. They really were a big family, not afraid of strangers, and there were two lively ones, which even flew to Cao Xin’s shoulders, looking forward to their beauty.
Cao Zhang asked her daughter, and then talked about Wei Feifei: “Is this girl not coming back this year?”
“No return.”
Cao Xin shook his head.
Cao Zhang pulled Cao Xin and asked in a low voice: “Do you have that kind of thought for her?”
aside.
Hearing this, Cheng Jing pursed her lips and chuckled.
The Valkyrie ‘Gui Ying’ didn’t change her face, but silently pricked up her ears.
“Feifei—”
Cao Xin thought of his blood relatives and sisters who were far away in the Qishan School, and said with a smile: “Everyone is still young, let it be.”
This is a standard scumbag speaking.
but.
This is also true.
In his life, there are only a few women of the right age who have been close to him—
Wei Feifei.
Tang Piaopiao.
Then there is Guiying.
There are only three of them.
If you want to choose one of them to marry and have children, the one who matches your status the most is of course Wei Feifei.
As for Tang Piaopiao.
This one almost became my own sister-in-law, which is not suitable. And her temperament is not suitable for Cao Xin.
Gui Ying’s words—
Cao Xin admitted that he was just greedy for her body.
When it comes to spiritual resonance and emotional aspect, it is not as good as Wei Feifei.
It was Wei Feifei.
“There is no better girl in the world.”
“In the second half of last year, the girl saw the ‘missing notice’ published in our Caojiazhuang in the “Jianghu Xunbao”, and wrote a letter to the old castle master Wei, asking them to sponsor 5,000 taels.”
“Did your brother tell you about this?”
Ms. Cao Zhang patted Cao Xin, thinking that it was really not kind for his son to hang on to the little girl like this.
Cao Xin smiled wryly.
Of course he knew about it.
When he was far away overseas, his eldest brother Cao Ren was in the old house in Xijing, and explained this matter clearly through words.
Cao Xin did not respond and did not come back.
I think it doesn’t matter if I take the money or not.
finally.
It was still Cao Ren who made the decision and declined Wei Jiapu’s kindness.
Five thousand taels is not a small number.
To know.
When Cao Ren and Cao Xin bought Caojiazhuang, the total cost was not more than five thousand taels.
Wei Feifei is generous.
Weijiapu is also really willing.
But Caojiazhuang is not short of money, Cao Ren considered the relationship between Cao Xin and Wei Feifei—
“If you guys are lucky enough to accept Wei Jiabao’s money, you will always be short-handed and soft-spoken.”
“If it is not paid, the money will not be collected.”
Cao Ren explained to Cao Xin.
He is very thoughtful.
“Ok.”
Cao Xin nodded: “When I get back to Qishan, I will thank Feifei face to face.”
As for getting married.
He is only thirteen, so wait a little longer.
…
mentioned Wei Feifei.
Think of Qishan School.
Cao Xin looked at Mrs. Cao and Zhang, and asked his old lady: “When the new year begins, after the first month, let’s go to Qishan School together as a family?”
“To Qishan?”
“It’s too far away, will it be inconvenient?”
Cao Zhang has no interest in Qishan, but she wants to see Cao Xian, and by the way, also wants to see the place where Cao Xin and Cao Xian have lived and studied for the past two years.
“convenient.”
Cao Xin saw Cao Zhang’s thoughts, turned around and asked his eldest brother and sister-in-law: “Is it convenient for sister-in-law?”
“Okay.”
“You mentioned it the year before last, and I’ve been waiting for it.”
Cheng Jing is generous. Before she got married, she had been in Xijing City, guarding her boudoir tightly. After getting married, it was better when I arrived at Caojiazhuang, and I could go around, but I was pregnant with Cao An, so I didn’t go too far.
She is quite looking forward to such a famous mountain like Qishan.
As for Cao An.
Logically speaking, he is only one and a half years old, so he should not travel far. But with Cao Xin, a genius doctor, accompanying her, Cheng Jing could rest assured.
“Fifth Brother, when are you leaving?”
Cao Liang is also a big guy now, but he is still naive, hugging Cao An, his face is full of expectation.
“The Chinese New Year is over.”
“Let’s go when the first month is out.”
Cao Xin patted Cao Liang’s head, then held Cao An in his arms.
“Wow-“
Cao An had never met Cao Xin before, so he admitted his life, and was so frightened that he opened his mouth to cry.
“Ha ha!”
Cao Xin is not embarrassed either.
Kiss, hug and hold high, not long after, the room was full of Xiao Cao An’s laughter.
It’s fun for a big family.
Cao Xian is not here, but we will see each other soon after the year.
The only regret.
Still Cao Yi and Cao Shu!
…
During the Chinese New Year at the Cao family.
is far away in Shangjing.
The mansion of Zheng Guogong, one of the eight founding fathers of Daliang alongside Lu Guogong, also has a warm atmosphere.
However, as the granddaughter of Mrs. Zheng Guogong’s mansion and Mrs. Wang, Han Xun’s house, who is only fourteen years old, looks a little deserted.
Han Xun is the daughter of Mrs. Wang and the previous Zheng Guogong’s daughter ‘Zhou Min’.
Early years.
Zhou Min married ‘Han Qi’ from the northwestern general family and gave birth to a daughter, Han Xun, who died when Han Xun was four years old.
Han Xun grew up with his father until he was seven years old. Just in time for the great chaos in the Northwest, Han Qi was ordered to lead the army to quell the chaos. He had no time to take care of his daughter, so he sent Han Xun from his hometown in Ningxi to Shangjing, entrusting the old lady and elder brother to take care of her.
It was supposed to be taken back after the war subsided.
But whoever imagined it, the next year, when Han Xun was eight years old, Han Qi died in battle.
Since then.
Han Xun often lives in Zhou Mansion, and has developed an aloof character.
In a flash, it was seven years.
in a blink.
The little girl has grown into a big girl, and has reached the age to talk about marriage.
How sad the girl is, she can’t be her own master.
If you think too much, you will fall ill.
“Girl, drink some hot porridge to warm your stomach.”
Han Xun was lying on the bed, petite and lovely. Outside the house, a seven or eight-year-old girl quickly walked into the house, holding a bowl of hot porridge in both hands, and came to the bed.
“Magpie, didn’t I tell you to go back?”
“You and your brother don’t see each other a few times throughout the year. Let’s get together more often for a few days at the end of the year.”
Han Xun touched the corner of the little girl, with indescribable sadness on her brows.
“The girl is sick, I can’t go.”
The little girl called ‘Magpie’ sat by the bed, helped Han Xun up, and wanted to feed her porridge, with a serious face.
“well.”
“Then I finish my porridge, you can go back.”
Han Xun lovingly touched the magpie’s face, drank half of a bowl of hot porridge, and couldn’t eat any more. Tired, he persuaded the magpie a few more words, and then persuaded this loyal and kind little maid to leave.
…
“elder brother!”
“elder brother!”
“I’m back!”
The magpie bounced around and was sent back by Mingyue, the eldest maid in Han Xun’s room.
She lives here with her brother.
but.
Magpie is the maidservant in front of Han Xun.
Because of her tuberculosis, her elder brother was unable to serve the master. Thanks to Han Xun’s recommendation, she was able to find a job in the boiler room of the Duke’s mansion.
Although it is dirty and tiring, and often has to work night shifts, it is better to have a salary to support myself and the residence arranged by the government.
No worries about room and board.
has outperformed many.
“Magpie.”
“Ahem.”
Yang Yi heard the movement, and came out of the room to meet him. After walking two steps quickly, he couldn’t help coughing, but his face was full of smiles.
“elder brother!”
The magpie was even more excited, and rushed into his brother’s arms with his short legs.
Brothers and sisters have their own errands. In the deep compound of the Duke’s Mansion, it is difficult to see each other several times a year. Every time they meet, they are very happy.
Yang Yi patted his sister’s little head, then smiled at Mingyue who sent her back: “Magpie will be taken care of by sister Lao Mingyue this year.”
They are also old acquaintances.
At the beginning.
He was separated from his sister and his family. Yang Yi fell ill and his mind was confused. Fortunately, he met Han Xun and other people passing by.
Then he arranged work for Yang Yi, and often helped him.
When the younger sister was older, he took her in as a servant girl and named her ‘Magpie’, and never treated her badly when she was with her.
On the way.
Yang Yi knew Mingyue, the eldest maid next to Han Xun, seven years ago.
But even if they are both slaves, Yang Yi, a coolie in a boiler room, is far inferior to Ming Yue, the big maid in front of Han Xun.
In the past seven years, there have been very few contacts.
Mingyue followed Han Xun, and she was also kind-hearted. She smiled at Yang Yi: “Magpie is very good, we all like her very much.”
Then he said: “The girl gave her five days off this time, and I will pick her up on the fourth day of the fourth day.”
“Sister Mingyue, stay and eat.”
Magpie listened to the two talking, then turned around and hugged Mingyue.
“No.”
“I have to go back and take care of the girl.”
Mingyue declined with a smile, turned and left.
“Sister, walk slowly.”
The magpie was a little disappointed, but soon became happy again. He took out two packs of snacks from his arms and handed them to his elder brother, proudly saying: “Brother! Brother! Try it quickly, this is the snack made by Madam Cai, it is delicious Just out of the pan, it’s still hot.”
Several dim sums were originally wrapped in red paper.
Magpie was worried about getting cold, so she wrapped it in two layers of paper and put it in her arms.
Now open and warm.
“Ok.”
“tasty.”
Yang Yi took a sip, then looked at the two layers of paper wrapped in snacks, and saw a lot of words on it, he asked worriedly: “Is this a book?”
Two sheets of paper with so many words printed on them, don’t be anything important.
“no no.”
“The girl said it was called a ‘newspaper’, and it came from the Xijing Mansion. It recorded mostly Jianghu affairs and was not worth any money. The girl was not interested, so she used it to make snacks for me.”
The magpie chirped, but spoke clearly.
“newspaper?”
“Xijing?”
Yang Yi was curious, so he unfolded it and took a rough look.
He is not very literate, and he learned it when he was a child by pestering the old children in the village with his younger brother who was a ghost. Reading the Four Books and Five Classics is not as good, but reading this kind of newspaper that is almost all commonly used words can barely be read even with a guess.
“Jianghu Xunbao—”
Yang Yi flipped through the columns one by one, without paying much attention, he turned a page and prepared to put it aside.
Suddenly.
He saw that there was a column on it, with the four big characters of “Missing Person Notice” marked on it.
“Looking for someone?”
“Can it still be like this?”
Yang Yi’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked down.
Immediately.
Startled.
