When Zijuan saw a tall figure rushing in, she quickly shouted into the house:
"Girl, Second Master Bao is here!"
"He just came! What's so special about it?"
Sister Lin wore a minimalist long dress today, which perfectly outlined her graceful figure, especially her slender waist that could only be grasped. People took one look at it and couldn't help but want to reach out. Pinch it.
Su Mingzhe took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, came behind Sister Lin, watched her write two words, and then smiled:
"The word "Yu'er" is a little stronger than the past few days, but it has lost its roundness. Let me write two words for "Yu'er" to set an example!"
"Don't make trouble!"
When Sister Lin heard the man talking in her ear, she immediately knew something was wrong and tried to avoid it. However, she felt her shoulders sink and she saw the man shamelessly put his head together with hers.
"Yu'er, you must concentrate on writing!"
Su Mingzhe was serious, reached out and grabbed Sister Lin's little hand, held it tightly, and wrote two lines of wonderful sentences on the white rice paper:
‘The sea reaches the limitless sky and I am the shore; the mountains reach the top and I am the peak’!
"What a loud tone!"
Sister Lin felt comfortable all over, half leaning against the man, and suddenly hummed softly:
"Sure enough, he is someone who has passed the county examination. He has such a strong tone, no wonder he looks down on us people with lower jaws!"
Su Mingzhe had already prepared for Sister Lin's yin and yang literature, and immediately said with a smile:
"If Yu'er is a chin person, will there still be sunshine and snow in this world?"
With that said, Su Mingzhe didn't give Sister Lin a chance to speak, and smiled directly:
"Okay, Yu'er, let me tell you something serious!"
"..."
Sister Lin didn't speak anymore, but she looked sideways at the man with her beautiful eyes, as if she would continue to refuse to let him go if he couldn't tell the truth.
Su Mingzhe didn't hide it and said with a smile:
"Last year, Yu'er, you said that you wanted to give my uncle some Peiyuan Pills. Later, I kept thinking hard and thought that although my uncle was sick, it was not a fundamental problem, but caused by fatigue. Even if he took a few Peiyuan Pills, it would only be enough. It can treat the symptoms, but not the root cause.”
"It happened that Prince Zhongshun sent a lot of good medicinal materials. I was thinking about the effect of a 'qi-boosting pill' that might be useful to my uncle. I am going to try to refine it in the next few days to see what the effect is! If the effect is good, then Send someone to deliver it to my uncle, Yu'er, do you think it's okay?"
When Sister Lin heard that the serious matter the man said was to make elixirs for her father, she felt happy in her heart, and her eyes when she looked at the man became a little gentler:
"Second brother, do you need me to do anything?"
When Su Mingzhe saw that Sister Lin had become well-behaved, the corners of his mouth turned up:
"I don't need Sister Lin to do anything. It's just that your place is nice, with abundant resources and outstanding people. If I run out of inspiration and need to come to your place to sit for a while, you can't drive me away again!"
When Sister Lin heard this, she knew that the man had bad intentions. Although she was happy, she said:
"Second brother, don't worry. If you come here to find inspiration, I will never drive you away. I will even take Zijuan and the others away with me, so I will never disturb you!"
"Good Yu'er, I was wrong!"
Su Mingzhe knew that Sister Lin was sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. If he kept talking to her like this, he wouldn't be able to win over her in words all day and night.
Sister Lin saw that the man couldn't speak well of her and was about to use his hands and feet, so she tried to avoid him, but the man was lying in her ear and speaking softly, which was particularly pleasant, which made her move a little slower.
When she came to her senses and escaped from the man's sweet words, she realized that the two of them were lying on the bed again without knowing it, sharing the same pillow.
This bad guy knows how to bully himself.
The next few days.
Su Mingzhe's little life was extremely sweet.
During the day, I would accompany Sister Lin around the yard. At night, when I returned to my residence, eight maids would take turns attending to her bed.
Occasionally, Su Mingzhe was called by Jia Zheng to ask about his homework, and Su Mingzhe naturally responded easily.
This day is at the end of the month.
Jia Rong acted as the host and invited Xue Pan, Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, Jia Cong and others to a party. He also sent someone to send an invitation to Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to go.
"Uncle Bao is here!"
As a junior, Jia Rong got the news and came to the door in advance to greet him.
Su Mingzhe couldn't help but smile when he saw his majestic appearance and high spirits:
"Brother Rong, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your face looks radiant. Could it be something good happened?"
"Thanks to my second uncle, I made a little money, so why don't I just want to invite my second uncle to come over and have a party!"
Jia Rong said, inviting Su Mingzhe to come in and take a seat.
Among all the people in the room, Jia Lian, the heir to the throne of Rongguo Mansion, sat at the first seat, Su Mingzhe took the second seat, Xue Pan, as a guest, took the third seat, and Jia Rong took the fourth seat.
Among others, such as Jia Cong, even though he was senior to Jia Rong, he could only sit below Jia Rong because of his status as a concubine.
Everyone took their seats again.
Originally, everyone was chatting and laughing, talking about romance and interesting things.
Only Xue Pan, a big fool, opened his mouth and said to Su Mingzhe:
"Brother Baoyu, why haven't you been to Lixiangyuan recently? My mother and sister haven't seen you for a few days and miss you so much!"
After hearing this, Jia Lian and others burst into laughter together.
Su Mingzhe was a little speechless, but he could only explain:
"Why didn't you go? I only went twice. Brother Pan, you were not here. I sat with Aunt Xue and Sister Bao and felt uncomfortable eating and drinking. That's why I went less often!"
After hearing this, Xue Pan immediately said:
"That being the case, if I invite you next time when I'm here, you can't shirk it!"
"That's natural!"
As Su Mingzhe said this, he raised his glass and toasted Xue Pan, which was regarded as an agreement.
After putting down the wine glass, Su Mingzhe was afraid that idiot Xue would talk nonsense again, so he asked Jia Rong:
"Brother Rong, you just said that you have made a little money recently, but is there any way to get rich?"
When it comes to making money, everyone suddenly becomes quiet.
Jia Rong invited everyone here just for this matter.
Seeing Su Mingzhe asking, Jia Rong's face became even more excited:
"Do you know that the price of medicinal materials in Chang'an City has skyrocketed recently?"
Others are more outsiders about these things and look confused.
Only Xue Pan was chewing a piece of meat. After hearing this, he immediately nodded and said:
"I did hear from a few friends that the prices of ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, etc. have soared two or three times compared to previous years."
Jia Rong quickly continued:
"Don't our Rongning Second Mansion have several villages outside the pass? In the past, because my grandfather wanted to make elixirs, our family would purchase some medicinal materials every year. This year, taking advantage of the sharp increase in prices, we sold them to outsiders, and Waiwai made a total of more than 40,000 taels.
!”
"With such a good thing, you really deserve a treat!"
Although everyone was envious after hearing this, they did not forget to congratulate him.
I drank like this for a few rounds.
Jia Rong then revealed her plan:
"Now that the price of medicinal materials continues to rise, our Ning Mansion intends to send some people to collect medicines outside the customs. Do you want to participate?"
Xue Pan was wealthy and immediately laughed and said:
"Thank you Brother Rong for thinking of us, I'll just invest 20,000 yuan!"
After hearing this, Jia Lian immediately smiled and said:
"In this case, our family will also invest 20,000 yuan, and I will personally invest another 2,000 yuan!"
Although Su Mingzhe was not short of pocket money, he only paid two thousand dollars with the venture capital when everyone came.
Jia Cong and Jia Qiang didn't have much savings, so they had to get together and invest two thousand guan.
In the end, Xue Pan personally paid for 4,000 guan, plus 20,000 guan from Ning Mansion, making a total of 70,000 guan.
A transaction of 70,000 guan is already considered very high in this era.
What's more, the purchase price of medicinal materials outside the customs is not high in the first place. The main reason why the price is high in Chang'an is because of the long distance and the various expenses of eating and chewing horses along the way.
As Rong Ning's Second Mansion has the support of the Supreme Emperor, and the large backing of Wang Ziteng, it can be said that doing business in medicinal materials outside the customs is naturally more convenient than others.
When Jia Rong saw that the matter of buying shares was settled, she clapped her hands and a dozen beautiful concubines and maids came in, ready to have fun with everyone.
Su Mingzhe waited for several women to come to him, and then he realized that these beauties were no one else, they were all maids from Huifangyuan and Dengxian Pavilion.
Among them, Peifeng, Jialuan, and Wenhua were still Jia Zhen's concubines.
At this moment, Su Mingzhe suddenly understood that today's banquet was said to be organized by Jia Rong, but in fact it was Jia Zhen who was behind it.
