The Damascus scimitar that Pang Gang now gave to the Kong family as an engagement gift was not the one that was originally knocked away by that dead ghost Qianhu He Zhengnan. Because Pang Gang disliked the knife being used by He Zhengnan, which was unlucky, he cashed in this Persian sword.
The Sheshier scimitar is unique to the special dynasty. The Sheshier scimitar is also a kind of Damascus scimitar. Because of its beautiful decoration and the gems inlaid on the handle, it is extremely gorgeous. Of course, the price is also the most "expensive".
"Yes, it cost Pang Gang fifty kilograms of pig iron.
Now when he first heard that this knife was worth ten thousand gold, he couldn't help but start to think crookedly. The man couldn't help asking: "Father-in-law, since this knife is so valuable, wouldn't it be profitable for us to get a few and sell them?"
flipped."
Kong Wen laughed when he heard this, "Haha, my dear son-in-law, you don't know something. This kind of knife is obviously made by a famous craftsman. How could there be dozens of them? What's more, things are rare and expensive. If there are more of them, the price will be higher."
Naturally, it came down."
Kong Wen's words awakened Pang Gang, who had a dream of getting rich, "Yes, if dozens of identical Damascus scimitars appear on the market at the same time, the price will naturally come down, and it is not as good as those used by soldiers."
Weapons and armors can be mass-produced. If there are a large number of scimitars exactly like this sword on the market, if nothing else, even my cheap father-in-law in front of me will definitely become suspicious."
Just when Pang Gang's dream of getting rich was shattered, Kong Wen also took off a simple-style jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Pang Gang and said, "Xian son-in-law, this jade pendant was acquired accidentally from the Qin and Han Dynasties when I was young.
I have been wearing this jade pendant from the period for more than 20 years, so now I will give it to you as a toy."
Pang Gang took the jade pendant with both hands and found that the jade pendant was in the shape of a unicorn and was completely green with no trace of color inside. It looked warm and delicate. Even a bumpkin like Pang Gang who had never touched jade could feel that this must be a good product.
stuff.
"Thank you, father-in-law, for the generous gift." Pang Gang did not refuse, but took it and thanked Kong Wen again.
After the two parties exchanged the tokens, the marriage was settled. After the marriage was settled, the relationship between the two parties was different. Kong Wen was not polite and asked bluntly: "Xianxiang, now that we are already
Now that we are a family, I won’t be polite to you anymore. Since the business of Jubaozhai is currently sluggish, I want to transfer part of the property to Qingzhou. Can you think of it?"
Pang Gang thought for a while and replied: "Father-in-law, Qingzhou may not be at peace now. If you don't have an assistant in Qingzhou Mansion, you may be in trouble. My son-in-law has a business here. I wonder if you are interested."
"Oh, what kind of business does your good husband have? You might as well tell me." Kong Wen asked with great interest.
"It's like this. My son-in-law opened a cement factory in Wanghaibao. Cement is a kind of..." Pang Gang told the idea of the cement factory. Kong Wen couldn't help but marveled when he heard it.
He said, "My virtuous son-in-law has actually developed such a wonderful thing. It is really beyond the reach of those who are capable. Once the cement plant is built, it will definitely be a big seller and it will be a huge profit. My virtuous son-in-law, do you really want to share a piece of the pie with me?"
"Of course!" Pang Gang nodded affirmatively, "Since my son-in-law said it, he naturally wants everyone to make money together."
"Hahaha... I didn't pick the wrong son-in-law. Come, I'll give you a toast!"
"Drink!" The father-in-law and his wife started drinking together in the living room.
Not long after Kong Ruolan ran back to her boudoir, her personal maid Ling'er and several maids from the inner courtyard ran in and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Miss He Xi, the slaves and maids are congratulating you!"
At this time, Kong Ruolan, who was ashamed and angry, stamped her little feet and said: "Why are you so happy? I haven't agreed to this marriage yet."
Ling'er chuckled: "Hehe, even if the lady doesn't agree now, she will definitely agree in two days."
"Yes, although our uncle's appearance cannot be said to be too handsome, he is not bad at all. Besides, he is also a majestic and talented person."
These maids were playing drums and teasing their ladies.
Kong Ruolan was in a state of confusion at this time. If any young lady had not received any news beforehand, but was suddenly told that she had a fiancé, she would probably be in a state of confusion.
There is a little dream buried in the heart of every young girl who is pregnant with spring. This dream includes both the imagination of the future husband and the longing for the future life. Kong Ruolan is no exception, but today when this dream is about to become a reality
At this time, she became a little scared. A girl's heart is always so elusive.
Just when Kong Ruolan was in confusion, Pang Gang returned to the guest room to rest after the banquet. He sat at the table and drank several cups of tea before quietly thinking about today's events. Today's events were a bit sudden, which made Pang
I was caught off guard and got an extra daughter-in-law for no reason. Whoever puts this matter on their head has to think carefully.
Pang Gang knew very well that there is no love for no reason in this world. The reason why Old Man Kong betrothed such a beautiful girl to him was definitely not because of his overflowing "bastard spirit". It must be due to interests, or
It's because he needs someone to rely on him in Qingzhou. Pang Gang understands these things very clearly, but he doesn't care. If he is betrothed to such a delicate and yellow-flowered girl who has finally raised him, if there is no need for him.
I don't even believe in ghosts, but what does it matter? Since I want someone else's daughter, I have to pay something.
In another study room, the father and son of the Kong family were talking about today's events.
"Lin'er, you must be wondering why your father betrothed Ruolan to Pang Gang in such a hurry."
"Yes, dad, the kid doesn't understand. Although Pang Gang helped the kid, our family also gave him real money and silver and helped him prepare food. It can be regarded as repaying his favor. Why do you still want it?
Betroth the girl to him. You must know that he is a military household, and his family is not hereditary. If the girl marries him, won't she have to suffer in the future? "
"Confused!" Kong Wen scolded and snorted coldly before saying: "Our Kong family's current situation in Yangzhou is very bad. The Sun family relies on their power in Yangzhou's officialdom to suppress us more and more fiercely. We
How can we not leave a backup? You also said last time that Wanghaibao is actively farming, and it is not too far from Qingzhou. How can we establish a foothold in Qingzhou without finding a backer? But how can we, a merchant family,
What kind of backer should we go to, the prefect of Qingzhou? Then we have to be able to get it. The only one we can get now is this guy. Although his current official position is a bit low, there may not be no chance of promotion in the future.
, as a father, you are also betting on the future fortune of this son-in-law, so you must be on good terms with him these days, do you understand?"
"Yes, daddy, I understand." Kong Lin lowered his head and said.
After the marriage contract, he was naturally not considered an outsider. The next day, the Kong family arranged for him to live in the inner house. Of course, this move was not in line with etiquette. If those rotten scholars saw it, someone would definitely say that it was not in line with etiquette and was humiliating.
Gentleman, but Pang Gang and the Kong family are from later generations. Not to mention living in the same compound when unmarried, it is not uncommon to live in the same bed when unmarried. The Kong family is a merchant family, so for
These men and women don't pay much attention to it, so naturally they don't have that many rules.
Therefore, Pang Gang had more opportunities to come into contact with the eldest lady of the Kong family...
