Zheng Qiao also came over holding the card and said disdainfully, "What else could it be? Just to whet people's appetite. Who can be fooled by such a small trick? Look how proud he is. He even got a new weapon and is pretending to show off."
"Yes, we all know it's to keep people on edge. But I can't collect all the cards, and I feel itchy." Someone said
"That's right, who says it's not true! I'm just short of a dozen cards, and I don't have a single gold card. It keeps me awake at night."
"Hey, didn't you save this for your grandson?"
"I can't sleep for my grandson."
Listening to the discussion, Li Yansong stroked his beard and said calmly: "Actually... there are gold cards."
"What? There's a gold card?"
Everyone around became excited and tiptoed to Li Yansong, forming a circle around him.
"Mr. Li, do you have any? Let us take a look."
“I haven’t heard of it being sold on the market?”
"Hey, you still say you have no relationship with me?"
Seeing that he had become the focus of everyone, Li Yansong couldn't help but feel proud. He looked at everyone with a squinting eye and said, "You want to see it? Do you also want to know where I got this gold card from?"
"Yes!" There was deep curiosity in the eyes of the group of people.
"Okay, then I will open your eyes today. But let me make it clear that Fang Zhengyi and I have nothing to do with each other, and everyone please stop making fun of this matter." Li Yansong said.
"Yes, yes, yes! Everyone knows, let's hurry up, Mr. Li."
Li Yansong was calm and composed, and took out a golden card from his pocket with a smile!
Gold is too soft, so to prevent it from deforming it was inlaid in jade.
Purely handmade, the outside of the jade card holder is also engraved with exquisite patterns.
When the jade-inlaid gold Jinyiwei card star appeared, everyone was amazed.
"The gold card is so good! It can be considered a treasure in its own right!"
"Oh my, the workmanship is so exquisite! Is this... the Tianji Star?"
"Take a quick look, what's the story behind it?"
As the crowd got closer, Li Yansong quickly put away the gold card. "This is a story about Meng Ru, the star of heaven. He grew up in poverty in the mountains, disconnected from the outside world. In order to let his relatives and neighbors live a good life, he opened the mountain to build a tunnel. A wise man laughed at him, but he did not change his original intention and finally opened the tunnel. This is called Meng Ru drilling the mountain!"
Someone exclaimed: "This boy has such great perseverance and is dedicated to the public, he deserves the rank of Tianji Star! It's a pity that such a person has to serve as a soldier under Fang Zhengyi."
"Why doesn't he move out?"
“It’s hard to leave your hometown.”
"Mr. Li, please show us how you took it back. Don't be so stingy!"
Guo Tianyang leaned over quietly, put his hands in his sleeves, and kept stroking something, feeling very puzzled.
How come there are two Tianjixing cards? Are there duplicate gold cards?
Li Yansong turned aside and said anxiously, "Don't look at it. What if I break it? This is the only one on the market!"
Zhang Dongxiang teased, "Look at how stingy you are! Wherever you bought it, I'll buy it too."
Li Yansong sighed, "Alright, alright! Just this one, as if you guys are generous. This card was given to me when I bought a clock at a new watch shop in the city."
"That's not right! I bought it too and spent five thousand taels but no one gave it to me? I'll go find them!" Some onlookers got angry on the spot.
Li Yansong continued, "Five thousand taels? Only the one with nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels is available!"
"No one told me when I bought it, but they will give it to you as long as you buy it!"
Zheng Qiao suddenly shuddered and slapped his thigh, saying, "Oh my! I bought it for 7,500 taels, and nothing is given! Then I have to lose money!"
"Mr. Li, you are really rich. I remember that the pointer worth ten thousand taels was made of pure gold!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yansong was unhappy: "Hey, stop making a fuss. I also spent a lot of money to buy this house. It cost 10,000 taels! I used all my family's efforts to buy this house and keep it as a family heirloom!"
"Tell me, isn't the pocket watch Fang Zheng gave us a good thing? Who among us can live without it now?"
"I don't know how I can live without looking at the watch for a day. I want to buy a few for other juniors, but they are not available on the market."
"I saw that the five thousand taels one was too light and I felt it was not good. I gritted my teeth and bought the most expensive one. It will give him face if it is placed in the ancestral hall, right?"
Everyone nodded, and some people beat their chests and stamped their feet, saying, "If I had known this would happen, I should have gritted my teeth and bought the most expensive one. The expensive one is much heavier than the others, and the materials used are much more solid! I really got a big loss for trying to save a little!"
"Yes, if the gold card given is Tian Kui Xing, wouldn't it be equivalent to saving a thousand taels? Even if it's not Tian Kui Xing, it's worth a few hundred taels! Damn it, why are they hiding it?"
"How long have you bought it? The guy said you can return it within three days, so return it as soon as possible."
"I can't return it! I've already bought it for seven days!"
Zheng Qiao suddenly stretched out his arms and shouted, "Wait! Wait! The more I listen, the more I feel something is wrong!"
"Why did Fang Zhengyi suddenly become so generous after giving us the pocket watch? Is he waiting for us here?"
"We can't live without pocket watches anymore, and then we open a watch shop that only sells table clocks and not pocket watches."
"Later, they launched the Jinyi Satellite Card, where only those who bought the most expensive clocks were given a gold card. This is all a conspiracy!"
Everyone fell into silence.
Shit! That's the truth!
This is an old lady wearing cotton trousers, one set after another, the whole set is inside!
This bastard thought he had suffered a disaster and turned over a new leaf! He didn't expect that he had shattered the entire court without realizing it!
Everyone pondered for a long time and felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, someone broke the silence: "He is really good! Fang Zhengyi is really thoughtful!"
"Aren't they just waiting for us to fall into their trap?"
"No! We won't use his stuff anymore! We won't buy anything from Taoyuan County!"
"This is not a conspiracy, this is an open conspiracy! Now that I don't have the pocket watch, I always feel like something is missing. What if it breaks down someday and I have to sell it in the future, will you not buy it?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent again.
Yes, life is simply impossible without a pocket watch nowadays...the old way of telling time was too crude.
If I continue to plan my life roughly as before, I will be slower than others in everything I do.
Besides, the court is now accustomed to planning time by hours and minutes, so you won't be able to match up with others.
"How do you think this thing was made? Is it something that can only be made in Taoyuan County? How about finding a few skilled craftsmen to take it apart and study it? I don't think there's anything mysterious about it!"
"I can't bear to part with it. Mr. Dong, your family has money, why don't you try to open one?"
"My family has no money, forget it."
"No! We can't swallow this. Let's go and embarrass him in person, all of us together!" The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt they were cheated. Zhang Dongxiang suddenly stood up and said indignantly.
"Okay! Let's go together and embarrass him!"
