Chapter 50: A bag of money is worse than a bag of books
Su Zhaoxin grinned immediately: "What are you talking about, big sister? Isn't my fourth brother your younger brother? But it wasn't my fourth brother who asked me to take it. I don't know why my fourth brother is so afraid of you. Every time I asked him to go play with you, he didn't dare. But think about it, he is afraid of scholars. When he sees my second sister, he is like a mouse seeing an old cat, not to mention seeing my big sister whose literary talent is greater than the sky."
After saying that, Su Zhaoxin saw the snacks placed on the side of the sedan chair, and took one piece without being polite, saying, "Those things were taken by me, and I also get a share of the profits from the shop. I make a lot of money, and I always buy a lot of things for Wan'er. After we divide the money this time, I will take you, Wan'er, and my second sister to watch the horse racing at the racecourse outside the city. It looks very lively, and the dishes there are also very delicious. I will pay for everything then."
As he said this, he wolfed down the snack, licked his lips and picked up another piece, then said mysteriously: "Big sister, you spend all day in your yard either eating or sleeping, or practicing martial arts. You don't know how famous you are in our capital! Many people have come to hand in visiting cards just to meet you, more than what my second sister has received!"
"But I see that they are all ugly and not very good. There are some that even Wan'er shook her head when she saw them, not to mention me. It's a joke! Who is my eldest sister? How can she meet anyone casually? And they all come empty-handed. They have no manners!"
"Especially your writings, which are about to be priced the same as those of famous scholars."
Su Changan watched Su Zhaoxin eat another dessert and was about to take another one. He reached out and took the dessert plate away and asked, "Didn't the teacher teach you that taking something without permission is considered stealing?"
Su Zhaoxin was puzzled for a moment, then looked at the snack in Su Changan's hand: "Fruit snack? I took it in front of you."
Very good, you are just pretending to be stupid, right?
Su Changan said with a stern face: "I'm talking about the things that are being sold."
Su Zhaoxin was stunned for a moment, then said, "Didn't you, Big Sister, ask me to take those things?"
Su Changan was stunned.
Su Zhaoxin looked at Su Changan like this and thought about the matter of the thief again. He became a little anxious. If the elder sister did not admit it, then he would become a thief!
If my uncle and grandfather knew about this, they would beat me up one by one! I don’t even know if my aunt and third aunt would beat themselves up!
Especially if my mother knew about this, I would definitely come back. It wouldn't just be a swollen butt, I might have to lie down for a month! This is a bigger deal than anything else!
So I quickly said, "It was the day when it snowed a little, and you asked me something like a madman, 'Zhao Xin, do you know why snow has no color?' How could I know why snow has no color, and snow is white? You said, 'Because snow forgot its own color' and so on, and I didn't understand, so I thought you were being pretentious. Then I asked you if I could take away the waste paper you wrote, and you said just take those things, why ask. Then I took them all, including the ones from the past two days."
The more he spoke, the more anxious Su Zhaoxin became as he looked at Su Changan's puzzled face, "It's you."
As he spoke, he saw Maomao and immediately said, "Sister Maomao was there that day too."
Maomao nodded: "Well, I also remembered that you can indeed let Master Zhaoxin take whatever he wants."
Su Zhaoxin nodded vigorously immediately: "That's right, big sister! Sister Maomao has already said that if you don't admit it, your position in my heart will be equal to that of the second sister!"
Su Changan reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose.
Because he remembered that he had indeed said it.
So he handed the snack plate to Su Zhaoxin and said, "Eat it."
Then
Gone in grief alone.
Because he also remembered that he had thought about doing this business on the way to buy rabbits, but at that time he just thought of it as a joke and forgot about it afterwards!
Now let’s take a look at the results.
Regret it!
If I knew it was so valuable, I should have sold it.
And looking at the scene outside, it’s a sure win!
The cost is almost zero.
Even if you can't do much, you should pursue the fact that rare things are valuable.
But listening to the high prices being shouted out there, the little money earned is more than enough to start other businesses!
Think of this
Su Changan thought back to when he was in the palace, he and the empress asked for some money so that he could use it to open a rouge shop.
Although he thought that the rouge application skills of the Great Xia Dynasty were very mature, there was still a lot of room for improvement.
For example, varieties such as "Red and Blue Flower Rouge" and "Rose Cream" are almost non-existent, not to mention other types of nail dyes and eyebrow inks, especially foundation.
Thinking about lead powder, Su Changan felt that it was time to make a foundation made from the fruits of Mirabilis jalapa and Spathiphyllum. There were also many other things that could be made, such as lipsticks and perfumes.
but
The empress refused!
Then Su Changan immediately said: "Definitely make money, and you can make a lot of money."
The Empress still refused: "Selling rouge and those things, you are planning to get in touch with more women, right? And I can't guess what you are after, is it your beloved, a stranger? I told you to leave it alone, got it?!"
Su Changan: “Ah?”
Empress: "I will give you whatever you want, but don't think you have any money. You might go to the brothels or squander it as soon as you have money! So don't even think about having a penny on you! I will tell Yan Ruyu and Master Su later and ask them to keep an eye on you."
Think of this conversation.
Su Changan felt inexplicably sad. Firstly, he did not expect the empress to look at such a pure him.
Next, you are financially blocking yourself before you even get married.
But he also suddenly realized why when he wanted to ask Yan Ruyu for money before, Yan Ruyu gave him small amounts easily but said she had no money for big amounts.
Su Changan was actually quite sad about this matter, and felt that Yan Ruyu did not believe in him.
But obviously, the empress had imposed an economic blockade on him since then.
However, the reason why I want to make money
He did intend to help the empress.
Although it was definitely a small business at the beginning.
but.
Which business doesn’t grow from small to big?
Besides, that is the rouge industry.
A huge money making business.
When I make money, I don't have anything to buy, so I plan to give all the money to the Empress. I don't plan to keep any private money!
While thinking this, Su Changan looked at Su Zhaoxin who was blinking at him and asked, "Is fourth brother afraid of grandpa?"
Su Zhaoxin was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Scared! Except for my second sister, Wan'er, and you. Except for the three of you, the rest of us are scared, especially my fourth brother and third sister. Every time we go to pay our respects, we dare not even breathe."
After saying this
Su Zhaoxin immediately asked, "Big sister! You can't tell grandpa about this! Someone might die!"
As he spoke, Su Zhaoxin's face was full of regret. Why did he so quickly tell his elder sister that he did it, and also told her that the study belonged to his fourth brother.
Su Changan asked with a smile: "Is the fourth brother in the study?"
Su Zhaoxin nodded immediately: "Yes, I came here with him. I thought you went to the palace, so I waited for you here. After all, this is the only way to go home."
Su Zhaoxin pursed his lips and asked carefully, "My most beautiful, best-looking, and most talented elder sister in the world, you won't be a traitor, will you? If you want to do it, I won't blame you, but can you tell grandfather that it was fourth brother who took it and it has nothing to do with me? After you say it, I will deny it outright, and it is fourth brother who will be beaten and punished, it has nothing to do with me. And I am so young, still a child, grandfather will definitely think it was not me who did it."
Su Changan looked at Su Zhaoxin, still smiling, and said, "I won't be a traitor, but you have to take me to find my fourth brother."
Su Zhaoxin nodded: "Okay, I'll take you there. When we meet, you can scold him harshly or even beat him up."
Su Changan nodded in agreement.
But looking at Su Zhaoxin's chubby appearance, every time he saw him, he wanted to ask, how could there be such a child who deserves to be punished!
…
You are absolutely not allowed to walk in front of the study.
After all, the sale was still going on, and what was being sold was a line from Li Qingzhao's previous life that Su Chang'an wrote when he was bored and sleepless that night: "When the geese return, the moon is full in the west tower."
But this is the complete eight-character short sentence.
But at that moment, the price had been raised to ten thousand coins!
That is ten taels of silver!
And the price is still rising!
This is simply outrageous!
Su Zhaoxin, Su Changan, Maomao and Zhou Qianhong entered the study through the back door.
The study is decorated in an antique style and has a very romantic atmosphere.
There are quite a lot of books, including many vernacular novels and unofficial histories.
In short, there are too many types and no classification is done.
Su Zhaoxin took Su Changan and the others directly to the second floor.
Then
Su Changan saw that the elegance of the second floor was the same as the first floor, except that
Just over there by the window, a young man who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old was sitting on a chair. There was a small mountain of silver beside him, and next to this mountain of silver were some books.
Moreover, the silver and coins were stacked neatly and angularly.
However, those books were all crooked and some were even scattered all over the floor.
But the young man kept counting the money, not caring about the books at all. His eyes were only on the money. It was obvious that the young man loved money from the bottom of his heart.
but
Su Changan saw this scene.
But I couldn't help but smile, this picture.
What a saying: 'A bag of money is worth more than a body of literature'!
