Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth chapter red envelopes
Zhao Yuande looked at Xue Chen's walking back and secretly thought it was a pity, but this emotion did not last long. He reached out and touched the thick pile of warm bills in his pocket. He immediately became happy and turned to face Zhu Zhu who was closing the stall.
He asked for the pig's head!
Xue Qi and Li Huihui were waiting in the distance. Seeing Xue Chen coming back with books, Xue Qi asked: "Brother, you bought those old books by Zhao Yuande, how much did they cost?"
"Five hundred yuan a book, a total of six thousand five thousand, let's go, the market is over, let's go home." Xue Chen said in a good mood.
"What kind of book is it? It's so expensive." Li Huihui muttered in a low voice.
"Okay, he won't do a loss-making business. I guess these books must have a higher value than this price. Brother, am I right?" Xue Qi said in a brisk tone.
"That's all you know." Xue Chen replied with a smile, "I didn't look into the details. I just casually looked at a book of Han Li etymology. I think it's worth buying it."
"The origin of Chinese characters, what kind of book is this?" Xue Qi asked like a curious baby, and Li Huihui also looked over curiously.
Xue Chen patiently briefly introduced the book Han Li Ziyuan.
"The origin of Han Li was compiled by Lou Ji, a Jinshi scholar in the second year of Qian Dao. It..."
"Brother, wait a minute, tell me first, which dynasty it was in the second year of Qiandao. Huihui and I are not history students, so we don't know." Xue Qi asked sheepishly.
"Qiandao is the second reign title of Emperor Xiaozong Zhao of the Southern Song Dynasty." Xue Chen explained.
"Lou Ji was a Jinshi during this period. I think through the title of the book, you two can roughly guess the main content of this book, which is the study of official script and some of the spread and changes of official script. And the book I have in my hand
Of course, this book is not the original one from the Southern Song Dynasty. I took a quick look and found that it should have been printed in the mid-Qing Dynasty and is in pretty good condition."
After a brief chat, the three of them also walked to the car, and Xue Chen took the lead in sitting in the driver's seat.
Li Huihui said softly to Xue Qi with great admiration: "You know a lot."
"He's the one who eats this. Of course he knows a lot. Okay, let's get in the car. We've been shopping all morning, and I'm really tired."
After returning to the village, Xue Qi and Li Huihui both said goodbye to Xue Chen and went home. After Xue Chen arrived home, he sat in the living room and took out all three books in the plastic bags and stacked them on the coffee table, one by one.
I briefly browsed through this book.
"Golden Mirror of Life...Liu Shutong...Qing Wenjian...Taiping Yulan..."
Looking at a book, Xue Chen felt very excited. He felt that his trip to the market was really worth it. He actually got so many good books.
There were a total of thirteen books, and he read them all. They were basically printed versions from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there were two or three from the late Qing and early Republic of China. They were all very good, and maybe not necessarily very precious.
It only costs a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, but sometimes, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.
Thinking that Zhao Yuande's father and grandfather were both teachers, I was afraid that his ancestors should also be scholars, so they were able to preserve these books. Unfortunately, Zhao Yuande's generation did not know a few Chinese characters, so they sold these books in the market.
.
He has always liked reading. Whether he goes home or goes out, he will take a book with him. When he has nothing to do, he will read a few pages. It can not only increase his knowledge, but also serve as a good way of entertainment. Therefore, buying
He was really happy when he read these books.
Most of these thirteen books also have modern printed versions, with exquisite packaging, or even copperplate printing, but nothing can compare with the feeling of holding these thread-bound books from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and naturally there is an ancient charm in them.
In the blink of an eye, Xue Chen has been home for five or six days, and finally ushered in the most important festival of the year in China, the Spring Festival!
In previous years, the three members of Xue Chen's family stayed at home during the Spring Festival, but this year, the uncle and aunt, the third aunt, the third uncle, the fourth uncle, the fourth aunt and his sister Xiaoqi all came to his house to celebrate the New Year together, but it was a pity.
Unfortunately, neither Xue Chao nor Xu Deji came back to celebrate the New Year, but stayed outside.
Xue Chao proposed to check out the store and wait until the third or fourth day of the Lunar New Year before going home, but Xue Chen had already told him that he could close the shop during the Chinese New Year. Only later did he figure out that Brother Chao planned to accompany his future sister-in-law Li Xueying.
New Year.
Xu Deji's reasons made Xue Chen even more amused. Xu Deji called back and said that during the Chinese New Year, the business of Jinbihuanghuang was even better and very busy. As a manager, how could he have the nerve to leave his more than a dozen brothers and go home alone?
It was the New Year, so I planned to share the joys and sorrows, and also planned to stay in Haicheng to celebrate the New Year.
Although the uncle and the third aunt complained a few words, they didn't really blame them. One was the daughter-in-law who was accompanying her in the future. What was there to say? The other was because the son had become a small leader and was always busy.
OK.
On New Year's Eve, my mother, my third aunt, and my fourth aunt cooked a large table of meals. There were a few more game meats than in previous years. This was of course due to the hard work of the little golden eagle. I don't know, from dozens of miles away
Small animals caught in the mountains, even a deer!
This year, all four families had a relatively smooth life, and everyone had a big smile on their face. The eldest brother Xue Chao almost got into trouble because he took kickbacks from the original company, but in the end he finally turned the corner and now manages the Yang'an store well.
good.
Xu Deji also left the days of hanging around in the town and came to Haicheng, where he got a job of his choice. Xue Qi also successfully entered Haicheng University, and everyone was happy.
"Xiaochen, uncle, let's have a drink with you."
"Okay, uncle, please drink slowly."
"Come on, third uncle will also have a drink with you, Xiaochen."
Whether it's the uncle's family or the third aunt's family, they know very well that it's because of Xue Chen that they can live such a peaceful New Year, but the family can't say anything to say thank you, everything is in the wine.
After the reunion dinner, it was getting dark, and the three families were all ready to go home.
"Brother, it's Chinese New Year. Shouldn't you give me a red envelope and give me lucky money?" Xue Qi opened her clear eyes, took Xue Chen's arm, shook it slightly, and said coquettishly.
Before Xue Chen could open his mouth, the fourth aunt said dissatisfiedly: "How old are you? You are already in college, and you still need lucky money. Isn't it embarrassing?"
"What's so embarrassing, brother, I'm going home first, remember to send me a red envelope on your phone." Xue Qi waved her hand and went out with a smile.
After helping his mother clear the dining table, Xue Chen sat on the sofa. His father had already made a pot of tea and was ready to watch the gala.
He picked up his phone, opened WeChat, and briefly looked at his circle of friends. They were all congratulating him for the New Year, and they were all filled with joy.
After thinking for a moment, he sent a red envelope to Xiao Qi, and within ten seconds, Xiao Qi clicked on it.
"Brother, why is there only a dime in the red envelope! I was so happy in vain, please compensate me for my mental losses!"
Soon, Xiaoqi sent an angrily message, accompanied by an angry expression.
Xue Chen laughed and then sent out another red envelope. He originally planned to send out eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, but he couldn't send it out. After looking at it, he realized that the maximum amount of red envelope for a single person was two hundred yuan. There was no way.
He could only transfer it through transfer.
After Xiaoqi accepted it, she sent him another red envelope, which was eight hundred and eighty-eight.
Xue Chen laughed and said, "You really know how to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."
Since I sent it to my little sister, of course Xu Deji is also indispensable. I sent it six thousand six hundred and sixty-six, which symbolizes that the work is going well.
While chatting with my sister Xiaoqi for a few words, a lot of messages popped up, all of them wishing him New Year greetings. There were also many people sending him red envelopes, including dozens, hundreds, and thousands. Although
It’s not much money, but it’s really fun to open the red envelopes.
When he opened the red envelope given to him by Du Tao and saw that there was only one penny in it, he couldn't help but shout, "Damn it." He could even imagine that Du Tao's boring boy must be laughing with his cell phone, so he immediately sent a red envelope in return.
Two cents, accompanied by a sentence, "Brother is more generous than you, and I will pay you twice as much."
Soon, Du Tao accepted the red envelope and sent him another one hundred red envelope.
Xue Chen thought about it and returned another two hundred.
Soon, Du Tao sent an offer worth 500 yuan, and Xue Chen sent another one worth 1,000 yuan.
When Du Tao sent an offer of five thousand, Xue Chen accepted it without hesitation.
Ten minutes later, Du Tao sent a "heartbroken" voice: "You are so despicable, how could you cheat and pay me back 5,000 yuan! That is all my hard-earned money!"
"As the old saying goes, a soldier never tires of deceit." Xue Chen replied proudly.
Xue Chen received red envelopes one after another, and of course he gave out more.
Especially since he didn't know when he was pulled into some inexplicable groups. In addition to high school classmates, college classmates, a group of four people in the dormitory, an internal group of Yunteng Auction Company employees, and several antique exchange groups,
I don’t know who added him, but he didn’t even notice it or say anything in it.
There are also people in these groups who are constantly giving out red envelopes. Most of the red envelopes only have tens or hundreds of dollars, but there are dozens of people grabbing them.
dollars.
Xue Chen opened a red envelope that Si Ruyu posted in the group and got more than 20 yuan. It was estimated that this was a red envelope worth 1,000 yuan.
When Si Ruyu saw Xue Chen's record of grabbing red envelopes, she immediately spoke in the group: "Hey, Xue Chen, you can't just grab my red envelope. Send one quickly, and I'll grab yours too."
Xue Chen said it was okay, and then he also sent a red envelope to the university group. The amount of the group red envelope was relatively large, the maximum was 5,000. He directly sent a 5,000, almost as soon as the red envelope was sent out.
In an instant, it was snatched away by thirty or forty college classmates.
"Holy shit, I got rich, I robbed a hundred and ten."
"Hey, I robbed two hundred."
"Oh no, why am I so unlucky? I only have thirty yuan. I'm crying."
After speaking about their own luck, a group of college classmates expressed their opinions to Xue Chen, who handed out the red envelope, and shouted: "Rich tycoon, hurry up and send another big red envelope." (To be continued)
