"Look, Mr. Zhuangyuan, I have two daughters and one granddaughter. They are both very handsome, although I dare not say that the country is beautiful and fragrant.
But I am absolutely knowledgeable and courteous, and I haven’t been betrothed to anyone yet..."
Although the three little girls are not very old, the problem is that they look at the champion who has fairer skin than themselves and a handsome appearance.
They couldn't help blinking their shining eyes and whispering quietly.
"...I wonder, Duke Zhuangyuan, do you think they are like this? In fact, I have a daughter, who is now fourteen years old and is waiting to be married. Although she is three years older than you, Duke Zhuangyuan..."
Seeing Duan Zhongping showing off his two daughters and one granddaughter in front of him, he even took the initiative to tell the birth dates of the three of them.
Gao Zhang couldn't hold himself any longer and wiped the smelly sweat from his forehead.
Sure enough, it was the same thing again. I had encountered the same thing before when I went to inquire about the ironware shop. I didn't expect to come again today.
Fortunately, Gao Zhang was an expert in dealing with such situations, and showed a very shy smile.
"I'd like to thank Mr. Duan for your kindness, but I can't make the final decision on this important matter of marriage.
Can we talk about this later? The boy is here because he has serious matters to discuss with Mr. Duan..."
Although Mr. Duan felt quite regretful about this, he also knew that this person was Taiwei Gao's darling.
It's not like a powerless scholar can do it by snatching a bride. Faced with such a top official's son, he can't do it by activating his money ability.
I can only ask my children to retreat first. Anyway, they have already become familiar with each other first. When we look back, we will see if we can get close to the number one scholar.
Even if you can't become a son-in-law, it doesn't mean you can't do business.
Although they didn't get along for long, Gao Zhang already felt that this Duan Jushang was very special.
His brain is not very flexible, and he is also quite eloquent. He is a typical very shrewd character.
What's more, his old Duan family has been able to become rich and powerful from the Shenzong period until now.
This is enough to show that there is still a certain level of ability to assess the situation.
#####
This made Gao Zhang decide not to mention his original purpose when he entered the house for the time being, and decided to adapt to circumstances.
"I know that Mr. Duan is one of the most wealthy businessmen in Bianliang, Tokyo. There are many jewelry shops like this."
"I heard that there are many skilled craftsmen in your shop, and the exquisite jewelry they make is even as good as those in the palace..."
"Master No. 1, I am not boasting. I dare not say that 30% of the jewelry and silk shops in Tokyo, and my family's shop, are all under my Duan Trading Company's name."
"Of course, our own craftsmen are all skilled craftsmen who have been fed by gold and silver for so many years."
"No matter what kind of jewelry you need, Lord Zhuangyuan, as long as you can sketch it out, we can make it for you."
"If you are worried, I can ask a painter to come over and show you the drawing first, and then make it for you."
It wasn't until my master finished his statement that the old aunt spoke in a pleasant and genuine tone.
"If Lord Zhuangyuan feels that his items need to be kept secret, that's okay. Our Duanshi Trading Company can provide you with several of the most powerful craftsmen for you to use for a period of time."
"Their wages don't require you to spend a penny, Zhuangyuan Gong, and this counts as our Duan's Trading Company.
I have formed a good relationship with you, Zhuangyuan Gong, and I hope that if there is any use for Duan's Trading Company in the future, Zhuangyuan Gong will just ask."
"Does your family sell silk or make silk?" Gao Zhang couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
"Our family, Erlang, is responsible for collecting silk in Jiangnan. He also has his own weaving workshop, but I can't say how big it is.
But in our silk shop, nearly half of the silk sold is woven in our own workshop."
Duan Zhongping gave the answer with a smile, and as he spoke, a sense of arrogance came over him.
"I see. It seems that Mr. Duan really has a big family and a big business. What Mrs. Cai said just now really moved my heart."
"To be honest, Gao originally wanted to find some skilled craftsmen from you and have a good chat..."
Hearing this, Duan Zhongping immediately raised his eyebrows, stroking his long beard and looking at the Number One Scholar in front of him who continued to talk and calmly stated.
"...because the things Gao made are not ordinary jewelry, but a kind of jewelry that does not require water or sunlight.
A timer driven entirely by delicate metal components.
It can be decorated with gold and silver, or made into a unique and exquisite shape. The large one can be placed on the ground, and the small one can even be placed on the desk.
You can know the time anytime and anywhere. If someone needs to do something very important at a certain time, but he has no time to take care of the time.
You can also set a certain time on it to ring the alarm..."
Duan Zhongping looked at Gao Zhang who was chatting in front of him, and when he heard his description, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat.
"Can such a strange thing exist in the world? Why have I never heard of it..."
"Because this thing was designed and made by Mr. Gao based on the water transport instrument platform built by Prime Minister Su beside Jinming Pond. It is a timepiece specially designed for wealthy people..."
Gao Zhang spoke very calmly and calmly, because the structure and design were all in his mind, so he was naturally not afraid to speak out.
After all, not everyone is qualified to enter the Water Transport Symbol Tower and pry into its secrets.
The important thing is that if you have not learned physics in later generations, you will naturally not understand what is the core of the operation of the water transport instrument.
I have to thank my math, physics, and chemistry teachers. I was able to get into the art school with my science major because of my math, physics, and chemistry teachers.
Duan Zhongping stared blankly at the prodigy champion in front of him whose reputation had spread throughout the Song Dynasty.
The three articles he wrote, especially the "Chinese Boy's Ode", were regarded as holy scriptures by his own family Sanlang, Shilang and Wulang.
As a wealthy businessman in Tokyo, he is naturally very aware of the changes in various industries in Tokyo.
Previously, Zhao Fujin, the head of the ironware shop, wanted to touch the cake of the prodigy champion. As a result, he himself collapsed along with the backstage, but it set off a trend in the Tokyo business circle.
Moreover, I heard that the champion also invented a kind of pole bow, whose range is no less than that of the mysterious divine arm bow.
"... Zhuangyuan Gong, I have also visited the Jinming Pond, and even went close to admire the Water Transport Ceremony Platform."
"This thing is a work of art. It is said that it took seven years to make."
"I wonder how long it will take to make the timepiece you designed based on this, Lord Zhuangyuan?"
Gao Zhang looked at Duan Zhongping and his wife with anxious expressions and expectant eyes, smiled confidently, and raised three fingers.
