Han Zeyu returned to Beijing in a very low-key manner, carrying only a large backpack.
The next day after arriving home, Han Zeyu took the processed medicinal materials to visit the Ding family.
It was really unfortunate that Mrs. Ding took action just as Han Zeyu left the capital.
When he came back, the full moon banquet was already over.
Fortunately, He Mengying thoughtfully gave a gift of money, which was considered polite.
It is said that the Ding family's third-day baptism ceremony was particularly grand.
As a benchmark in the industry, Censor Ding stepped on the upper limit of regulations and spent a huge amount of money to hold a baptism ceremony for the eldest grandson of the Ding family.
Censor Ding's wife even customized a large silver lock, which, when thrown into the basin, splashed water more than one meter high.
The whole ceremony can be summed up in four words: proud and proud.
Later, under Ding Junjie's persuasion, his son had a relatively plain full moon banquet.
Ding Junjie felt very sorry that Su Shien and his wife were unable to attend.
So Han Zeyu's sudden visit surprised and delighted Mrs. Ding.
I was happy to see the Goddess of Childbirth coming to my house, but I was surprised by the herbs he brought.
Polygonatum sibiricum is known as the "surplus food of immortals". To be honest, she has never seen such a rare medicinal herb in her life.
Mrs. Ding suggested that Han Zeyu submit the medicinal materials for auction so as to maximize the profits.
Han Zeyu was puzzled. He had traveled all over the capital and had never heard of the existence of an auction house.
Mrs. Ding was also confused. What is an auction house? Is it a pawnshop?
"The auctions I'm talking about are when someone pawns something that can't be redeemed. Pawnshops hold public sales periodically, with bidding going to the highest bidder."
Han Zeyu suddenly realized that it was really similar to an auction house.
After asking for the address, Han Zeyu prepared to say goodbye and leave.
Mrs. Ding called him, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked her question: when could she start losing weight?
Considering Mrs. Ding's situation, Han Zeyu suggested waiting until after the New Year when her body has almost recovered before starting.
The couple really look more and more like a married couple, and they can accompany each other on the journey of losing weight.
Mrs. Ding breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and Han Zeyu instantly understood that in fact, she didn't really want to lose weight.
The medicinal herbs were sent to the pawnshop, where the owner estimated their value at 1,500 taels. After the auction, the pawnshop charged a 10% commission.
If it fails to sell, they will buy it back at the starting price of 1,500 taels.
Han Zeyu nodded calmly, agreeing with Mrs. Ding's estimate.
After leaving the pawnshop, Han Zeyu immediately ran home excitedly.
Life has gotten better. Writing storybooks? Digging for gold? How can you make money in this business?
Han Zeyu, who had just returned to Beijing, packed his equipment overnight and left the city early in the morning, heading straight for the mountain where Dingyun Temple was located.
This time he came to check it out, to see whether he should climb up from the foot of the mountain, or go to the top of the mountain first and then go the other way.
…
Su Shien and Tiezhu both felt that the large army was moving too slowly, and they complained privately that the civilian officials were just being pretentious.
Zhou Yi, who was treated as air, was speechless. The way you said this was as if you two were military officers.
Su Shien was a little anxious and wanted to get to the capital as soon as possible. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was eager to go home.
Zhou Yi sighed, "They're an old married couple, yet they're still so affectionate?"
As a frontline spectator, Tiezhu said that he had seen too little of Lord Zhou.
Su Ge was not in a hurry to go home and reunite with his husband. He was afraid that his master would cause trouble, so he had to keep a close eye on him.
It turns out that if you want to capture a man's heart, you can rely not only on your cooking skills, but also on your ability to get into trouble.
Tiezhu said seriously, "Sometimes I admire myself. My understanding is unparalleled."
Zhou Yi was speechless. He found that everyone around Han Zeyu was poisonous. Otherwise, where did this mysterious confidence come from?
The next day, the auction ended.
Han Zeyu was originally quite calm and was eating and drinking at home, but when he learned the transaction price of Polygonatum, he immediately became restless.
Spending two thousand six hundred taels to buy a herb is not the "surplus food of immortals" at all, it is a life-saving straw for mortals!
It is the ladder for him to cross classes, the shortcut for him to accumulate wealth, and the start-up capital for him to become capital.
The only flaw was that the evil middleman actually took 10% of the commission from him.
Han Zeyu was extremely heartbroken, and the wonderful feeling of receiving the huge sum of money was reduced.
The pawnshop owner even extended an invitation to him with a smile, promising to look for him again if he had any good stuff in the future.
Han Zeyu smiled, but thought in his heart: Screw you!
Imperial Palace, Zhaode Hall.
The chief judge of the Imperial Hospital looked at the Polygonatum in the box and his love for it was beyond words.
“It’s fresh enough, well-preserved, in excellent condition, and professionally handled.”
His Majesty the Emperor showed a satisfied smile, and it turned out that the money was not wasted.
The private warehouse sold more than two thousand taels of silver, so of course the quality was good.
Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor's happiness immediately halved.
It’s a pity that Han Zeyu doesn’t know the true identity of the buyer behind the scenes, otherwise he would definitely bypass the middleman and cooperate directly with the buyer.
Ultimately, it was because of the lack of connections and my social circle was too narrow.
Little did he know that the largest network of people in the world had already been in close contact with him for a long time.
Not only did he buy his medicinal herbs and place heavy bets on his competitions, he also read all of his literary works.
Han Zeyu knew nothing about this. He was gathering all his tools and preparing to visit Yue Lingfeng again.
Seeing that they were about to arrive in the capital, Su Shien couldn't wait to ask for permission to explore the way ahead.
Zhou Yi thought to himself: Can you come up with a more perfunctory excuse?
The emperor has walked this road hundreds of times. Does he still need you to explore the way?
All in all, Su Shien's request was not excessive, and His Majesty the Emperor had hinted that he would do his best to accommodate him.
It is easy to be an official if you have someone in the court, let alone one with such a powerful backer.
Su Shien got the assignment as he wished, and took over the scout's job as a Hanlin editor.
Fortunately, Su Shien arrived outside the city first, otherwise the sneaky Han would not have been caught.
Han Zeyu...
It’s an unlucky year!
Can this be caught?
Su Shien rode on the horse and said coldly, "Tell me! What are you going to do?"
Han Zeyu suddenly had an idea: "I said I came here specially to pick you up, do you believe me?"
Su Shien's expression already gave the answer: "Guess what?"
Han Zeyu was disappointed: "I guess you don't believe it."
Tiezhu said rudely, "I don't believe it either."
Trouble comes from the mouth.
With Su Shien's instructions and Han Zeyu's sharp eyes, Tiezhu looked back every few steps and left this place of trouble with regret.
The trouble-making Han Zeyu shamelessly jumped onto the horse's back and asked to be close to her husband.
Su Shien bit the thick skin in annoyance, telling him to be disobedient.
Han Zeyu touched the teeth marks on his face and smiled happily, feeling happy and satisfied.
Su Shien reflected deeply and thought that he had such a bad memory. Why was he rewarded again?
Xiaohong swayed under the heavy burden. These two people really had no idea of their own weight.
It is not a black pig, its carrying capacity is limited. My two guests, you are overweight!
