At night, Qiao Hui tossed and turned, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she had a strange dream - Xianjin was wearing a golden dragon robe, laughing wildly, leaning on the beauty couch like a thin bamboo pole, holding a handsome boy in each hand, and from time to time a beautiful boy would hold a peach in his mouth and feed her mouth-to-mouth.
"Unfaithful mother!" Qiao Hui shouted, "No!"
He then sat up sweating profusely. After realizing it was just a dream, he wiped his forehead as if relieved. His palms were immediately sweaty.
Qiao Huian sat quietly for a moment, thought for a moment, then stood up angrily, threw on a coat, and rushed to Beiyuan with a rage, smashing the window "bang bang bang".
Half a moment later, Xianjin opened the window sleepily.
Qiao Hui immediately put his mouth close to Xianjin and bit his cheek with a "smack" sound!
"Ouch!" Xianjin cried out in pain, his eyes widened, and he covered his left face with his hand. He lost most of his sleepiness and laughed and got angry at the same time: "You are possessed by a dog demon!"
Qiao Hui sneered, turned around and left after biting, leaving behind a vicious sentence - "You know what you did!"
Xianjin:?
While scratching his head, he asked, "Huh?"
......
The next day was the eighth day of the first lunar month. The court did not hold court, but all government offices and mansions had to report for duty. Everyone in the Qiao family got up early and had breakfast together.
At the dinner table, Qiao Fangzhi made a point of observing the two of them. He originally thought there was something fishy about it, but now, after a closer look, he felt that the two of them were very bright and open-minded, and they passed the chopsticks and picked up the food in a very natural and familiar manner, especially Xian Jin, who did not show any shyness at all.
You know what, Old Man Qiao suddenly felt a little lost, and there was more disgust in his eyes when he looked at Qiao Hui: I feel ashamed of God, I feel ashamed of the earth, and I feel ashamed of the fate that had arranged for you to meet!
After dinner, Qiao Hui went to the Capital Military Headquarters to report for duty, and Xianjin took a ride with him to the gold shop in Jiazifang.
There were no fewer than hundreds of businesses in the entire capital city that made gold foil and emerald green and gold, and they were lined up in the streets, with thousands of people coming and going.
The Tang Family Gold and Silver Shop on the southeast gate street of Jiazifang is the largest gold and silver joint venture shop in the whole capital. As soon as the day breaks, there is an endless stream of people coming to make gold, buy gold, and exchange gold and silver. There are many people in the hall, most of whom are neatly dressed stewards of large families or the maids or stewardess of some lady.
It was Xianjin's turn. He took out the two gold bracelets and two gold hairpins and handed them to the clerk behind the counter.
"Change the silver? Or change the style?" The waiter weighed it.
Xianjin said: "I want to exchange it for silver."
The clerk put all the gold jewelry on the scale and said in a formal way, "One ounce of gold, for eight ounces of silver."
Xianjin nodded to show that he understood.
She had weighed these gold ornaments at home, and the total weight was about fifty taels (today's taels cannot be calculated as 50 grams to one tael, about 37 grams to one tael).
One ounce of gold can be exchanged for eight ounces of silver.
These gold ornaments can probably be exchanged for four hundred taels of silver.
Add to that the three hundred taels of silver notes that He Ainiang left for her, and the three hundred taels of silver she had saved, the total would be about one thousand taels.
The shop was sold for one thousand four hundred taels.
There is still a shortfall of four hundred taels.
It depends on whether he should ask Chen Fu for alms or Master Qiao for sponsorship. If that doesn't work, he can just give Qiao Hui a kiss and get four hundred taels off. That's not a bad idea.
Xianjin had calculated everything very well, and he just looked at the fellow eagerly: After six or seven years of business wars, he still had to fight and beg for food when he returned...
No.
You can't call it begging.
We need to attract investment.
Angel investment round.
Old Man Chen with a greasy face and powdered hair is the angel investor - if he doesn't like this title, Xian Jin will use his palms to fry fish for him.
Xianjin has already figured out how to fool Chen Fu.
Everything is ready, except the money.
Xianjin looked at the guy inside the fence and looked at the scalar of the scale in confusion. He first took off the gold bracelet and weighed the gold hairpin, then took off the gold hairpin and weighed the gold bracelet.
First, the two gold bracelets were weighed together, and then the two gold bracelets were taken back and forth on the scale to be weighed.
"But is there a problem?" Xianjin asked.
The clerk finally confirmed that one of the gold bracelets was wrong, took it off the scale, and smiled sarcastically: "Whether there is a problem or not, you know it clearly - I won't take this one, and I'll give you the other one at the price of eight taels of silver."
The waiter casually threw the gold bracelet onto the counter with a disrespectful and sarcastic attitude.
Xianjin frowned, took the gold bracelet, weighed it in his palm, then put it in his mouth and took a bite, but didn't feel anything wrong.
She was not very happy either that the things that He Ainiang had left for her with so much difficulty were being treated so casually.
"We are doing business here. I didn't ask you to buy it, and you didn't ask me to sell it. There is no high or low among us..." Xianjin was unwilling to be humiliated. "Today, you have to tell me clearly what taboo this bracelet has violated, which made you throw it down!"
The clerk shouted "Hey!" - gold is hard currency, even if he is just a clerk, he is a clerk who sells gold!
He is as valuable as gold!
Those stewards of the wealthy and powerful families were also very polite when they saw him!
What's more, this girl is not behaving herself first!
The waiter laughed sarcastically: "How bizarre! You use dirty things to pretend they are gold, and I don't accept your things, but you are still angry!"
The gold gas is bubbling.
I think you don’t know how outstanding He Ainiang is!
How could such a successful concubine be deceived into giving away a gold bracelet stuffed with something!
What's more, is it possible that Chen Fu used a gold bracelet stuffed with something to deceive He Ainiang?
Not only did you insult a concubine of extraordinary talent, you also looked down upon a love-minded man!
