Chapter 7 Profitable Merchants

Not only is Su Ren's weird behavior confusing, he is even despised by Leng Jun.

Leng Jun was slightly startled. He felt that Su Ren had changed too quickly. From the beginning of the trouble, this kid was a softie. Later, he became a little normal and turned into a good man who is not afraid of the powerful. After a lot of time,

Yes, it changed again. Seeing Su Ren crawling on the ground, it was indescribable to be groveling. It would be more appropriate to bow to the ground.

Chang Shi was also a little surprised. He heard some of the noise outside just now. The housekeeper Chang Yuan went out and took a look twice, so he naturally knew what was going on outside. He became curious about the boy who was standing on a strange thing and insulting the disciples.

Chang Shi was also guessing what the boy did. He spoke in such an arrogant tone, and that's when he came up with the idea. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked in, he changed from a tiger to a local dog, which made Chang Shi a little confused.

Chang Shi snorted coldly: "You are so bold and unruly that you dare to disturb the county government. Do you know that this is a serious crime of rebellion?"

Su Ren lay on the ground: "The county magistrate is highly virtuous and talented, and he is the father-in-law of the people. The common people are governed by the county magistrate. Firstly, he has not stolen, and secondly, he has not killed anyone. It is just because he admires the magistrate's talents and knowledge that he came to pay homage to him and was accepted by the common people."

I was entrusted by someone to give something to the county magistrate, but I didn't expect that the gatekeeper said something bad to me. Could it be that the common people were wrong about what they heard about the county magistrate? Later, the common people figured it out.

The county magistrate forcibly demanded a bribe, and then he boldly taught me a lesson."

"The county magistrate also said just now that according to our Han law, attacking the county government office is regarded as treason, but the common people did not attack the county government office. This is the gate of the county magistrate's house. The two of us are also children, and we are not as brave as ten thousand men.

If you don't have a sharp blade hidden in your body, how can you attack the county government? So it's not a rebellion, it's just a visit. Please tell me, sir!"

In this call, he not only told what happened, but also silently flattered the county magistrate. He was neither humble nor arrogant, although it was a bit explicit and a bit unreasonable.

Chang Shi felt strange in his heart, when someone dared to talk to him like this, and also after hurting his own person. The boy in front of him was not old. Although he was lying on the ground, he was not shaking, so he didn't mean to be afraid. It looked like he was afraid.

He is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is definitely not an ordinary person to behave like this. From the bottom of his heart, he doesn't care about this matter.

Suddenly he saw something similar to a bed thrown by Su Ren on the ground, and asked aloud: "What is this? Did you two want to give me this thing at night?"

Su Ren let out a long breath. Since Changshi didn't ask about what happened at the door, the matter was naturally solved. It seemed that the TV series lines he just said randomly were really effective. Hearing Changshi ask about the Taishi chair, he felt even more excited.

I was so happy. This was the purpose of coming to the county government. I didn't expect that the county magistrate actually took the initiative and quickly got up from the ground.

Su Ren moved the Taishi chair: "The county magistrate Mingjian is indeed this thing. The name of this thing is the Taishi chair. It is a piece of furniture. We are a country of great etiquette. However, the county magistrate has been sad and toiled all day long for the people of the county. He has been sitting on his knees for a long time.

It is not good for the health. Wenling Laojun Guan Chongxu, the Taoist priest, accidentally received the inspiration from the gods and imitated the style of heavenly furniture to build a set of tables and chairs. He did not dare to put them to good use, so he came here to offer them to the county."

"It turns out that Taoist Priest Chongxu sent you here!" Chang Shi nodded: "Taoist Priest Chongxu is also a kind person and has done many good deeds in this county."

Su Ren let out a sigh of relief again. Fortunately, the Taoist priest who cheated his disciples still had some eyes and did not make any trouble with the county magistrate. If the situation is the same as that of the county magistrate's family, let alone the time for retribution for the previous grievances and debts, today's break-in

The name of the county government must also be confirmed.

Su Ren quickly put on a smile: "It's true, the common people are also grateful for Taoist Chongxu's life-saving grace, so they agreed to run errands for the Taoist, as long as the county leader likes it."

Changshi stood up and walked around the Taishi chair twice. Su Ren quickly asked Leng Jun to move the Eight Immortals table and the other three chairs in. While explaining to Changshi, he spread out the tables and chairs in the room, making a posture of playing mahjong.

, kept talking about the benefits of this thing. It is good for the legs and feet, the mind, and all the organs in the body. What is more important is that it is integrated with Taoist ideas. It is the style of a gentleman who has his feet on the ground and the sky above his head.

Su Ren's saliva was flying as he spoke, and the few ounces of meat on his face were pulsing. He kept boasting and flattering one after another. Even Chang Yuan, the housekeeper who grew up with Chang Shi, had goosebumps all over his body.

There was a constant surge in his throat. He had been with his master for decades, and he never felt that his master had become a great talent in the world and had the ability of Guan Zhongleyi. However, when he saw the gentle look on his master's face, he could only pinch his nose.

admit.

The stern and open-mouthed boss on the side did not spend much time with Su Ren, not even ten days in total. But today I really got to know this person. He is smart and thick-skinned. Not only can he speak well, he can tell all kinds of lies.

Just open your mouth and come. If he knew what a capable actor is, he would definitely place this word on Su Ren's head.

Su Ren patted the back of the chair vigorously: "Besides, please take a look at the back of the chair. The pattern in the middle is a round sky and a square place, which coincides with my big man's money making, which means that there will be great wealth. The Tao Te Ching is engraved on the front, which is yellow.

It is a model of the old theory. The back is engraved with a pine and a crane to prolong life, which means longevity. When you lean on it at ordinary times and soaked in the Tao Te Ching, it will naturally promote the spirit of immortality. It also means that the county official will live a hundred years."

He had already sat on the Taishi chair, leaning back against the chair, closing his eyes and listening to Su Ren's pats, feeling leisurely and contented. Not to mention this thing, it was indeed more comfortable than sitting on his knees. He no longer had to touch the ground with his knees for a long time, and no longer exerted force on his waist.

, the legs can be straightened, which is a good thing.

"Okay, okay! You don't need to brag anymore. After all, it's just a modified bed." Chang Shi smiled slightly: "It's rare that you can say so many things. This county will accept this thing.

Now, go back and tell Taoist Master Chongxu that this county has accepted his wishes."

"That's very good!" Su Ren was in high spirits and bowed to Chang Shi repeatedly: "Just accept it. This item was found by two of us brothers after two months of visiting the mountains and forests of Wenling. During this period, we

The brother narrowly escaped death. After returning, it took another three months to build it and present it to the county official. Before leaving, Taoist priest Chongxu told the people that the county official was a great official and would never take advantage of us.

It’s so cheap, and our brothers’ hard work over the past six months has not been in vain.”

When Chang Shi was feeling proud, he was happy that he had got some good pieces of furniture. But when he listened, he felt that something was wrong with Su Ren's words. When Su Ren finished speaking, Chang Shi understood it completely and turned to look at Su Ren.

Su Ren still had that harmless smile: "By the way, here are two treasures presented to the county by the common people. Please take a look at them."

Su Ren took out two crystal clear round beads from his arms. They were the two marbles that someone had stuffed into his backpack. Originally, these were the only things Su Ren brought from modern times that could be stored for a long time. In his mind,

When I found that Chang Shi seemed a little reluctant to pay for it, I took out my heart and dedicated it to Chang Shi. This thing was made of glass and was a child's plaything. In Su Ren's eyes, it was worthless.

The light in the room was very dim, with only a butter lamp illuminating it weakly. When Su Ren placed the two marbles in the palm of his hand, they appeared even more crystal clear under such a weak light, with dots of light appearing on the surface.

.

Changshi's eyes widened. He had seen this kind of thing before, and at a glance he was convinced that it was definitely a treasure. They all stood up from the comfortable Taishi chair: "I heard that there is a luminous pearl in the abyss of the East China Sea, but I have never seen it before.

, I just thought they were all legends, but I didn’t expect it to actually exist. May I ask my little brother where this thing came from?”

Su Ren originally planned to use this thing to arouse the interest of Chang Shi. He rolled his eyes and immediately said: "The county magistrate is indeed well-informed. This thing is indeed produced in the East China Sea. It was accidentally obtained by the common people a few years ago. I always feel that this thing

It was a waste of money to place it on the people, but I didn’t expect the county official to recognize it. It seems that this thing is destined to the county officials, so the officials dared to offer it to the county officials, hoping that the county officials would accept it."

"Are you serious?" Chang Shi never expected that Su Ren would give it to him. Generally speaking, treasures are meant to be shown off, and it's over after showing off. He had been an official in this remote Wenshui County for several years, but he had not made any money.

How much, not to mention the others. If you have these two treasures, it means that the years of warm water have not been in vain.

Su Ren nodded and gently placed the two marbles on the table. The marbles rolled on the table toward Chang Shi. Su Ren cursed in his heart, Leng Jun, a carpenter with two swords, even the table legs were broken.

It is not sawn neatly, and if no one knows the goods, this kind of table will be a scrap and cannot be sold at all.

Not only was it common, Chang Yuan and Leng Jun also had their eyes wide open. Leng Jun had seen this thing before. When he saw it during the day, he only thought it was transparent and funny, but he didn't expect it to be so beautiful at night. In his heart, he complained about General Su Ren.

Such a good treasure was given to Chang Shi. But I'm afraid it's useless to talk about it now. The common man is not guilty, but Leng Jun still knows about the crime of having the jade.

Changshi grabbed two marbles, put them in the palm of his hand and looked at the light carefully. The more I looked at them, the more I fell in love with them. Not only was this thing transparent inside, but it was also unexpectedly round. Even the moon on the 15th day of the month was not so round. I watched it for a long time.

, quickly clenched his palms and held the two marbles tightly in his hands.

Chang Shi coughed and looked at his housekeeper Chang Yuan: "Chang Yuan, little brother intends to dedicate this treasure to me. However, a gentleman will not take away someone's love. This thing is what little brother has worked hard for, and I really can't take it."

For your own benefit, go to your wife immediately to get some money and give it to your little brother." He then turned to look at the tables and chairs behind him and called Chang Yuan: "Get more, my little brother's set of tables and chairs.

I bought it too.”

He said he couldn't take it for himself, but the hand holding the marble refused to let go. Su Ren felt funny in his heart. Officials are not good people. It has been like this for thousands of years. This is a common thing.
