After Hua Niang confirmed the lame man's craftsmanship, she immediately gave up the idea of going to Chengdu immediately. She wanted to supervise the work here and watch the lame man make all the furniture piece by piece.
The most important thing is the bed. The complexity of the craftsmanship is simply astonishing. There is a bed surround, which is divided into three compartments and interior patterns. There is a lattice door outside the bed, decorated with rhombus, Ruyi and other patterns and carvings.
After that, it was rubbed with tung oil and then painted. Only one bed kept Laizi and a dozen craftsmen busy for a month.
"This is called a small couch. With drawn yarn and crimson curtains on it, it becomes a different world. Under the light, a woman in gauze clothes is sitting on the bedside. There is no need to call or greet her. She looks hazy, even that
This girl usually only has six colors, but we can sell these six colors for 100%."
After hearing Hua Niang's words, Yun Zheng's face almost turned into a pimple, and he sucked in the cold air like a toothache and said: "Don't use the word we here, right? Just say me directly, even if you say concubine.
That’s right, just don’t use the word we, which makes me feel guilty now.”
Hua Niang chuckled softly and said: "It's rare. It's rare that you are the first man I have ever seen who doesn't treat women as property. What do you know? Do you think we are doing harm to nature by doing this?
Do you know that many families raise their girls and then wait to sell them for money? There are also many families who, seeing that their daughters are beautiful, teach them various skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since they were young. Do you know that when their girls are ten years old, they will
When you are three or four years old, you will join a wealthy family as a concubine, or you will be sold to a brothel to be a prostitute. Your parents will not feel sorry for you, so why are you so distressed?"
What Hua Niang said was a bit extreme, and Yun Zheng didn't answer. Hua Niang's life experience may very well have had something like this, so when she met a man like Xiao Lin who truly cared for her and respected her, he wanted to pounce on her.
After the first bed was finished, the following beds were made very quickly. Yun Zheng was surprised to find that Hua Niang had only made three such luxurious little beds, and the rest were all unique appliances, and
Tables and chairs unique to Dousha Village.
"A brothel only needs one famous prostitute, and the rest are just foils. What's the point of making so many beds? Selling meat? The more expensive and exquisite a brothel is, the less likely it is to go there easily.
Selling meat will not ruin the reputation of the brothel."
Yun Zheng didn't know how Hua Niang could support a large brothel by herself, but her goals could be seen from some subtle details. Since he became Hua Niang's first shareholder, her expenses in Douchuan
I haven't even paid a penny.
The profit from selling horses this time was huge. Xiaolin should have had a share of it. Wugou took a share and used it to build his Baiyun Temple. Xiaolin did not take a penny. Yunzheng knew that
He wanted to use Hua Niang's surname as Zi Hu. Anyway, it was Xiao Lin's money that was spent and had nothing to do with him. It would be a huge joke for a scholar who was about to take the scientific examination to open a brothel.
After all, Hua Niang left, and asked Yunzheng to ask the monkey to run errands for her, and then found a escort agency to escort her on the road. It was already rustling in the autumn wind.
Wugou came to say goodbye, but Xiaolin was nowhere to be seen. Hua Niang's expression was a little gloomy. Instead of doing the woman's squatting salute with Yun Zheng and Wugou, she hugged her fists like a man and said goodbye.
Bacon gave Hua Niang a big bag of beef buns and some food for the road. She was crying so hard that Hua Niang hugged Bacon and comforted her for a while before leaving.
Parting is sometimes very simple and relaxing. There is no parting Xiaosheng, just a word of cherishment. The road ahead of everyone is dark. Who knows who you will meet and what things you will encounter in front of you. As you walk,
Bar.
The broad-leaved forest is losing its leaves, but the coniferous forest is still green. A person who would rather live with broad branches and big leaves is proud from spring to autumn. He would rather wither from the branches than suffer himself like pine needles, just to survive one more winter.
That's how Hua Niang is, she can't give up prosperity, and she also likes to die in prosperity. She can't marry someone else's wife and live anonymously in a deserted village, even if it's for the one she loves.
A sword hanging on the wall of Yun's house disappeared, and Xiaolin also left, walking quietly. Both Yunzheng and Wugou knew that there must be someone among the green mountains and green waters to protect Hua Niang on her journey.
Maybe the flower girl also knows, otherwise she wouldn't be so happy and joyful when she left.
"Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass stretches to the sky..."
"This song is not bad. If it was written by a monk, give it to the poor monk. Anyway, the poems coming out of your mouth were all written by the monk. The poor monk knows that monks in the world are not divided into families, so the poor monk will use them.
"Recently, the poor poets in Chengdu have had no good works for a long time, which has eclipsed the Chengdu poetry scene."
"It's true. This song was indeed written by a monk. Anyway, you monks are more sentimental than a mortal like me. I guess there will be many poems written by monks in the future. You can use them if you want."
Hua Niang left, Xiao Lin left, and the monkey also left. The one who really felt sad was Han Niu. He and the monkey had never been separated. Monk Wugou didn't like sadness, so he joked with Yunzheng with a smile.
When they returned to the village, Mr. Liang and Liang Qi were waiting in the village. Liang Qi had lost a lot of weight recently, and the flesh on her face was almost gone. It felt to Yun Zheng that there were only two left on her face.
Big black eyes.
"Young brother moved Doucha County, which turned the world upside down. Young brother came out, Yuanshan, and the two eagles were wiped out. Now that the great harm to Doucha County has been eliminated, young brother should be the first to make the contribution! Liang Gong admires him very much."
"What happened by chance, sir, I'm so impressed. Why did you come here this time?"
Mr. Liang smiled bitterly and said: "The people of Dousha County have benefited. Not only do they no longer have to worry about bandits, but they can also reduce their money and food for five years. As a result, the imperial court can station troops in Yuanshan to have a glimpse of the plateau. Only I and the young brother will probably
The losses have been heavy, business channels have been lost, and all the initial investment has been wasted.”
"How is it possible? The Eagle Tribe is finished. It's because of Moda's looting and Black Stone Flower. The two Tribes added insult to injury. What does it have to do with me and other merchants? There are ongoing wars on the grassland. It is estimated that it will subside in another month.
, Now the snow has begun to fall on the grassland, and the tribes are busy preparing for the winter. When spring comes next year, the flowers bloom, and the pack team will go there again, why come to the East Liushui?"
Mr. Liang was overjoyed. He held Yun Zheng's hand and said, "Is it true that the Tubo people don't know about this?"
"Not only the Tubo people didn't know about it, but also few people in the Song Dynasty knew about it, and the officials didn't know either. Everyone thought that the Tubo people wanted to rob Yuanshan's wealth, but Mo Da killed him by surprise, and the Eagle King
He was also shot to death by Moda, or the vulture shooter of that tribe.
Therefore, after the beginning of spring, Laiba's pack team will continue to make transactions with the Tubo people. The first shipment will be free, and the second shipment must return to the original transaction price, which is two pounds of salt for one cow. From now on, this price
Don't touch it easily, the wealth left by the clan cannot be wasted no matter what."
Mr. Liang nodded in agreement. Liang Qi looked at Yun Zheng curiously, as if seeing him for the first time. After a long silence, he said, "What your brother said was absolutely right. Xiao Wugen did even help you carry your shoes."
None of them deserve it.”
"The Yun family likes to brag, don't be offended." Yun Zheng picked up Yun Er, who was holding his legs, and invited the Liang family father and daughter into the room to talk.
"I think you can really roll your name at Donghuamen. Even though you are already an official, the eighth-grade Cheng Fenglang can already make you a scholar without any inferiority. You are only fourteen years old this year.
.”
"That was an official position I got from selling a horse. I thought I would be given an official position of Bi Ma Wen. Who knew that I would be given an official position of Wen San. My luck has always been good, you know this."
Mr. Liang stroked his beard and said: "There are hundreds of real war horses. Such meritorious service is worthy of a reward from the imperial court. I heard that your petition has been handed down, so why don't you put it on? Young people wear official uniforms to be noble."
"The official uniform is too big, and it feels like a monkey wearing a crown. It's okay not to talk about it. When it comes to business, I want a condition. I wonder if it's a little too much?"
When Mr. Liang heard that Yun Zheng needed to negotiate conditions, he immediately sat down very upright. He wanted to know what kind of conditions Yun Zheng wanted from him. If it was not too excessive, he was already ready to agree.
"I'm leaving. I have a large share in the business here. Now I want to break it down. Thirty percent of the business of the pack team belongs to Lai Hachi. Although he is a refugee, I don't want to treat him badly.
Is that possible?"
Mr. Liang nodded and said: "Lai Ba has been through life and death, the suffering of climbing on ice and sleeping in snow. Thirty percent of your share is not too much. I agree. This is your personal private matter and does not count as a condition. I am all ears."
"The remaining 70%, your Liang family will have to bear more responsibilities in the future, so 30% is yours. Don't refuse. The purpose of giving you the shares is to use the Liang family's connections to maintain this business, so you can be honest.
The remaining 30% will be returned to Dousha Village, and I will only keep 10% to survive.
And my condition is that you are not allowed to join the enemy at any time or under any circumstances! Otherwise, you will be my life-or-death enemy, Yun Zheng, and I will not give up until you see life or death!"
The first few words Yun Zheng said were like the spring breeze turning into rain, which made everyone feel comfortable listening to them, but the last few words he said were sharp and loud.
Mr. Liang stood up from his seat, respectfully bowed his hands to Yun Zheng and said: "This matter is also the request of my Liang family. What my young brother said is very consistent with my wishes. The Liang Palace hereby swears to the Tianmeng that if there is any violation, the body will not be dismembered."
!”
Yun Zheng helped Mr. Liang up and didn't say anything else. He just shouted outside: "Lai Ba, come in!"
Lai Ba, who was already in tears after hearing this, knelt down on one knee as soon as he entered the door and swore: "If Lai Ba has evil intentions, he will die a good death." He never thought that a refugee like him could get the favor of Yun Zheng and the Liang family.
Promise, from this moment on, he finally felt like he was living a bit like a human being, rather than a beast in the jungle.
The old patriarch was very calm. Now Yunzheng has the final say in Dousha Village. This child is already an official, and he will soon be the head of the village. These financial things are all public property. The more Yunzheng leaves, the better the future will be.
The greater the possibility of returning here, as a family, it doesn’t matter which pocket the money is in. (To be continued.)
