Yangzhou City has always been a prosperous place for singing and dancing. I don’t know when, but some rumors suddenly started to appear among the people.
"Hey, have you heard? Someone here can make colored glaze?"
"Tch, who doesn't know about this? In the past few days, the beards in the market have gone crazy! The colored glaze beads that used to be rare items can no longer be sold. It is said that they are all waiting for the colored glaze we made ourselves.
"
"Hehe, you deserve it! Those greedy beards, a dishonest and dishonest person dare to open fifty guans! They are so evil! They deserve it because they can't sell it! Oh, by the way! You said we made the colored glaze ourselves?
Can it be cheap? The girl at home is getting married soon, and I want to get some colored glaze to enhance my worth, so that my husband’s family won’t dare to look down on us.”
"Humph, I'm disgusted! Good goods are not cheap, and cheap goods are not good. That's a sure thing! But if you really want to buy it, you might as well wait. After all, it's better to let your own people make the money than to let those people make it.
The beard must be strong after making money!"
"That's what you said. I don't know when this glass will be available for sale."
Rumors like this spread throughout the streets and alleys of Yangzhou City within a few days.
But although the rumors were widespread, no one had ever seen the real thing.
"Sir, Shopkeeper Xue of the Xiao Family Trading Company sent out an invitation today, inviting a group of top shopkeepers from the Chamber of Commerce to listen to singing and dancing on a boat on the lake the day after tomorrow. It is said that something mysterious will be announced at that time."
In the Yangzhou cloth shop, the head shopkeeper of the cloth shop who hurriedly handed a gold-gilded invitation to the young man with a respectful and humble expression.
The young man sat on the chair and didn't even get up. He took the invitation casually without reading the content inside. He just stared at the big gilded characters and sneered:
"What mysterious thing is going on? Isn't it just that he wants to sell his glass? But think about it, it's time. This guy has built up so much momentum in the early stage and aroused people's curiosity to the top. If he doesn't take action, I'm afraid it will be too late.
Already."
"Oh? Young Master, what you are saying is that he is responsible for the Liuli incident that has been causing a lot of commotion in the city these days?" The shopkeeper of Buhang looked at the young man in surprise and asked.
The young man lazily slapped the invitation on the table, yawned and said, "If it's not him, who else could it be? I'm afraid you don't know, right? He started his family by selling glass!"
"Selling glass to start a business?"
The shopkeeper of Buhang frowned slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I'm sorry for my stupidity, but isn't this colored glaze a good thing? Why do I feel so disgusted by what you mean?"
"Hmm? Good stuff? Who told you?"
The young man raised his head and glanced at the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, and said dissatisfiedly: "Although I still don't know how he made it, I am sure that this thing must be very cheap! At least it is much cheaper than you think!
"
The shopkeeper of Buhang has been doing business for many years, and his thinking has long been based on the pros and cons of a businessman. Hearing this, he hesitated and said: "But Master, when buying and selling this thing, it doesn't matter how it is made!
As long as there is a price and a market, even a handful of dust is a good business! Not to mention the price of colored glaze has always remained high and the market has been very good."
The young man waved his hand impatiently and interrupted: "That's just stupid people with too much money, so they are vying to be taken advantage of!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper of Buhang was stunned for a moment: "This...according to the wishes of the young master, we will not go to this invitation?"
"Go! Why don't you go? Not only do you want to go, I also want to give him a big gift!"
After giving the old shopkeeper a blank look, the young man picked up the invitation again and stared at the gilded font on it, with a slight smile on his lips, as if he was mocking the owner of the invitation.
"Of course, before giving gifts, we have to do something to make others feel at ease. It's best to listen to us honestly!"
Yangzhou City, Zhu Family.
The Zhu family mansion, which has been closed for more than half a month, is no longer as noisy and deserted as it was a few days ago.
At the very least, since the day before yesterday, servants have been going out one after another to buy some vegetables, poultry, eggs and other expenses back home.
"Don't forget to give some of the cooked rice to the dog first to see if it's alright!"
After not seeing each other for just a few days, the originally prosperous Mr. Zhu had lost a lot of weight, and he even spoke with a strong sense of tiredness.
"Yes, sir!"
Although the servant carrying the food didn't know what had happened to his master recently, he still carefully followed the master's instructions and poured out a little of each meal and fed it to the untied large dogs.
I dare not not do it, because the miserable situation of my ex is right in front of me!
Just because he was lazy and skipped feeding the dog, he was personally beaten to death by the furious master in the courtyard. To this day, you can still see the blood stains under his feet that have not been completely wiped off.
In the courtyard of the inner house, several large dogs, like calves, were fighting for food. Inside the house, Mr. Zhu carefully watched the condition of these dogs.
Eating food that has been eaten by dogs sounds disgusting!
But when he thought of the unbelievable methods in the organization, Mr. Zhu gave up the idea of being lazy. Even the river water had to wait for his subordinates to drink it before he drank it.
"Why……"
Just as Boss Zhu was staring at the big dogs intently, a long and long sigh suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
"Woooo..."
When the big dogs in the courtyard heard this unfamiliar voice, they all raised their heads and bared their long teeth towards the place where the voice came from. A low growl came from their throats.
"Who?! Who's there!"
When Mr. Zhu heard this voice, his whole body was shaken immediately. He subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at the courtyard door with horrified eyes.
"Shuashuashua..."
Several strong guards jumped out from everywhere, looked at each other silently, drew their weapons, and quickly moved towards the courtyard gate.
“Bang!!!”
Just as a few people rushed to the courtyard gate, without any warning, the gate made of fine rosewood suddenly shattered!
Countless pieces of wood mixed with copper nails came raining down into the courtyard. Two gold-inlaid shop heads were whirling and whittling towards the leg of a guard who could not dodge, almost severing his thigh.
Cut in half.
"kill!!!"
Things happened so suddenly. When the remaining guards saw this, they immediately tried their best to dance the weapons in their hands into a ball of sword light, protecting themselves and rushing towards the few people who came out of the smoke at the gate.
At this time, there is no need to talk nonsense!
They have already called at their door, so why should I politely negotiate with them to compensate them? Even if I am willing, my boss won't be willing to do so.
I have to say that the guards raised by Mr. Zhu are very loyal and brave! But in many cases, the gap cannot be made up by just two words: bravery.
In the smoke and dust, Mr. Zhu couldn't see clearly what was going on over there. He only heard a few metallic sounds, and then several figures flew over in circles.
