Chapter 190 Don’t bow your head or the crown will fall off



The long winter made Han Zeyu earn a lot of money. Monopoly business is easy to do. Sometimes he even despises himself, thinking that he is a black-hearted capitalist.

With money in hand, Han Zeyu went to the county government office and bought two more plots of land. This time he wanted to grow medicinal herbs.

Before spring planting, Boss Han gave everyone a holiday and told them to do what they needed to do. He was going to start plowing the soil.

Others can still go home to visit their families, but the former members of the Beggar Gang and the refugees are confused. They are working well, so why are they homeless?

After the merger of several villages, the cultivated land area reached 700 acres, which was considered to be the scale of a large farm. Han Zeyu also became a veritable small landlord.

The crowd was driven all the way from the south of the farm to the north. When they returned to the south, they found that the land had been deeply plowed.

How many plows would it take to turn the land so thoroughly?

The head of the village touched his chin, frowned, and suddenly remembered a legend, that is, the appearance of the God of Land.

Han Zeyu, who was pretending to be passing by but actually eavesdropping, clenched his fists and roared angrily in his heart: "I'm not a land god with a cane and a gray beard, I'm a fair-skinned and beautiful fairy boy!"

The God of Land: "What an impertinent fellow."

Su Shien comforted his donkey: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, little fairy boy, come with me, I'll take you to the provincial capital to eat roasted whole lamb, sweet and sour fish, steamed pork, tiger skin elbow..."

Han Zeyu's tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth, and he took the initiative and asked Su Shien to get in the car quickly.

Seeing this scene, Tiezhu was heartbroken and said, "Master, you are finished. The young master has you in his grasp."

Han Zeyu didn't care at all. He kept saying that they were an old married couple and didn't feel anything at all, while trying his best to get into the other woman's arms.

Su Shien let him act recklessly and just placed her palm on his head symbolically. After all, this guy didn't care about anything when he was having fun.

He was not worried that Yu Ge'er would hit his head, but he was afraid that this person would smash the carriage. After all, he had been stubborn for a long time.

Han Zeyu likes to go to the provincial capital. After all, it is more prosperous there. Thinking of this, he is quite looking forward to going to Beijing to take the exam. He doesn’t even know what the famous capital looks like!

Lin Jing was busy and couldn't get away for the time being. Jin Baoer volunteered to pick up Yuger, her good friend, savior and partner.

When Jin Baoer heard that Yuger wanted to go to the capital to see the world, she was also tempted. She had never left the province in her life, and the farthest place she had been to was the ferry in Qingshan County.

"I also want to see the world, but I don't know if my parents will let me go."

Han Zeyu was puzzled. Wasn't Lin Jing a student? Even if he wanted to take the exam, he would take it in his hometown. What did going to Beijing to take the exam have to do with him?

Jin Baoer is "awkward but smart", but can you please not be too blunt, it really hurts my friend.

"Lin Jing didn't plan to participate in the Autumn Examination. He said he didn't want to waste his time and registration fee. He's just not cut out for studying."

Han Zeyu believed this, as Lin Jing's personality as a member of the Bad Students Alliance has always remained strong.

Jin Baoer said longingly, "Next year is the Empress Dowager's sixtieth birthday. All of us merchant families will present gifts, which will then be selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and finally presented to the Empress Dowager. If any family's gift pleases her, their title of Imperial Merchant for the next five years will be secure."

This was the first time Han Zeyu had heard of such a statement. Next year's autumn examination would be quite lively.

"Do you want to follow your elders to Beijing?"

Jin Baoer nodded and said, "My family is looking for skilled craftsmen. A year is enough time to prepare. I want to follow the escort team that is delivering gifts to the capital. That way it will be safer."

A skilled craftsman? Isn’t that what he’s looking for?

I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, but when I turned around, he was standing in the dim light.

Jin Baoer was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Can Yu Ge'er do micro-carving?"

This time, it was Han Zeyu who was dumbfounded. What was micro-carving? Was it the kind where you carve patterns on rice?

Jin Baoer chuckled, finally there was a field that Yu Ge'er couldn't reach.

As the name suggests, micro-carving is a carving technique that excels at being tiny and fine.

Han Zeyu and Jin Baoer went to the store to broaden their horizons and saw a master craftsman fiddling with a snuff bottle with great concentration.

Han Zeyu said that he was not surprised by things like snuff bottles, as they could be bought in any scenic spot in later generations.

What he was more curious about was a small object that the master had just used. According to his observation, it was made of a piece of transparent glass, and its function should be similar to that of a magnifying glass.

Han Zeyu's eyes lit up. Now that he already had a magnifying glass, could he study the telescope?

He asked Jin Baoer for a piece of glass and planned to go back and study it.

Seeing that he only wanted a piece of broken glass, Jin Baoer thought Han Zeyu was saving money for her.

For a moment, the wealthy tycoon became excited again and insisted on dragging Han Zeyu to pick out jade.

How could he be so embarrassed! He hesitated and agreed reluctantly, and Han Zeyu picked a piece of raw ore in a very pretentious manner.

The big sister on the list gave too much, and Comrade Xiao Han felt very sorry, so he also picked a piece for Baoer as a token of his gratitude.

Han Zeyu's one-stop service was very considerate, and he directly took out the stone.

They were all shocked. What was that move just now? Was it the Iron Sand Palm or the Bone-Dissolving Palm?

A jade pendant-sized piece of top-quality imperial green was unexpectedly unearthed from a goose egg-sized ore.

Han Zeyu didn't understand these things. He just felt that the large energy fluctuations of this stone meant that there must be good things inside.

But no one was interested in the imperial green that he carefully unearthed. All their attention was focused on his hands.

Han Zeyu was very disappointed. "You useless guys, why don't you look at the jade? What's the point of looking at his hands? You can't learn it."

It has to be professionals with good vision. Just now, the old master stood up excitedly, his eyes shining green as he locked onto the high-quality jadeite.

Han Zeyu rinsed the jade with water and handed the jade pendant-sized object to Jin Baoer. Although the jade is not large in size, it should be beneficial to ordinary people if worn for a long time.

Seeing that the master was staring at her, Jin Baoer let him take a look first, after all, he was a professional.

The old master carefully examined it, and after a moment, he excitedly said, "The color is bright and rich, and the distribution is very even, without any spots or blocks of color. Miss, this is the best jadeite, the glutinous imperial green!"

Jin Baoer was also confused and asked a very practical question hesitantly: "Is it very valuable?"

The old master nodded, stretched out his finger and gestured, and whispered: "It can be sold for one thousand taels without carving."

Jin Baoer looked at Han Zeyu, and Han Zeyu looked up at the sky, appearing calm and composed.

In fact, someone is biting his handkerchief in his heart. Don't bow your head, or your crown will fall off. Even if your heart is broken, you must face it with a strong smile.
