False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

"Brother, are you going to Beijing?"

In the courtyard where plum blossoms fall, standing side by side with Xue Zhu is a woman with graceful temperament and peerless beauty.

"I can't hide it from my sister, but my brother really plans to go to Beijing."

Xue Biao looked at this younger sister who was much younger than him, and reluctantly told the truth.

He knew very well that his sister was a talented man and much smarter than him.

"Eldest brother, did you meet a noble person in the capital this time?" Xue Baoqin asked tentatively.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Xue Biao, who has always been steady and reserved, would leave Jinling at the expense of selling off his family property.

Hearing the word "noble", Xue Biao's face showed a trace of excitement that was difficult to conceal.

"To be honest with my sister, my brother did make a friend of a noble person in the capital this time!"

Thinking of the pie that Lin Chen had drawn for him, Xue Biao could not wait to fly to the capital immediately.

Seeing his brother like this, Xue Baoqin felt a trace of worry in his quiet, round eyes.

She was worried that her brother had been deceived.

After all, from a certain perspective, Aunt Xue is still the nominal mistress of the Xue family.

Xue Biao also had to respectfully call the other party aunt.

This move is tantamount to telling Aunt Xue that he, Xue Biao, intends to break away from the family of Xue.

Although family separation is very common in large families, if the family is divided without the consent of the head of the family and the mother-in-law, people will eventually gossip about it.

"Sister, you are worrying too much." Seeing the worried look on Xue Baoqin's eyebrows, Xue Biao chuckled and carefully took out a small bag from his sleeve pocket. "Sister, do you know what this is?"

Hearing this, Xue Baoqin couldn't help but look at it curiously.

I saw two pieces of pure white crystals exposed inside this bag. They were as crystal clear as snow in spring. It was really beautiful.

"Is this... icing?!" A look of surprise flashed across Xue Baoqin's pretty face.

The so-called frosting.

It is a sporadic product of boiling sucrose.

As its name suggests, icing sugar, as white as frost and snow, is extremely rare.

Because of this, icing sugar was only occasionally produced in the sugar-producing areas of Jiaodong, and was still offered to the royal family.

Ordinary people want to buy this icing, they have to come up with the equivalent of gold, and there is no market for it if it is still cheap!

Why can my eldest brother come up with so much frosting?

Xue Baoqin smiled when he saw that his sister was shocked. Looking at Xue Baoqin's look, he also thought of how he looked when he saw the frosting that day.

"Sister, try this again."

Hearing this, Xue Baoqin tapped the white crystal with her tender fingers and licked it.

"Bah, this is salt?!"

Xue Baoqin was scolded by her brother and couldn't help but scolded her, feeling a little unhappy.

"Yes, this is salt and icing sugar!"

When Xue Biao mentioned this, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"The noble man said frankly that he has a method for making large quantities of this refined salt and sugar frosting, and he is willing to give the method to my brother for sale!"

"Really?!" Xue Baoqin was also shocked by these words.

Not to mention the refined salt, this icing alone is a good product sought after by countless wealthy businessmen and families.

Coupled with its status as a royal tribute, it can easily be sold at a high price.

On the other hand, my eldest brother earns some hard-earned money by running business all over the country every year.

And the business of selling icing sugar is enough for Xue Tan to make a lot of money!

"Can the noble person really make the decision in this business?"

The conditions were so good that Xue Baoqin couldn't help but worry about gains and losses.

"Sister, I don't know, but the person standing behind the other party is that one!" Xue Biao pointed to the sky cautiously.

Xue Baoqin suddenly understood.

His Majesty the Emperor? !

What kind of noble person did my brother meet in the capital?

certainly.

Xue Biao may not know that the so-called Li Zhao platform is just a banner he casually raised.

but.

From a certain perspective, he, Lin Chen, was indeed a member of the emperor Li Zhao.

In other words, Xue Biao had the emperor's back.

"So, does that noble man want my brother to recruit sailors to the capital?"

Xue Baoqin was so smart that he immediately figured out the purpose of his brother's behavior during this period.

"Exactly!" Xue Biao smiled.

Bustling downtown area.

All Xue Biao's cronies were beating gongs and drums and recruiting sailors everywhere.

"Hey, you said, I will follow you to work in the capital, and the settlement fee will be thirty taels, and then there will be two taels of silver and two feet of cloth per month?"

Two big men with bare chests and only short shirts to cover their bodies squeezed through the crowd and walked up to the boy who was recruiting sailors.

Oops!

The boy looked at the two men in front of him.

One of them is covered in white, and the other has slender limbs and dark skin, and his hands and feet look brisk at first glance.

"Can you two strong men know the nature of water?" Seeing that the two men were willing to take action, the young man couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and asked.

"Haha!" The two people couldn't help laughing when they heard the boy asking.

"If we were in Jiangzhou, who would know the names of our two brothers?"

The big white man half boasted and half boasted: "A certain family can swim dozens of miles in the water and submerge in the water for three days without any trouble!"

"The two brothers grew up by the water. How come they don't know the nature of water?" Another dark-skinned man also sneered.

"In this case, if the two warriors state their names, they can take away the thirty taels of housing expenses!"

That boy had followed Xue Biao all over the place and had seen a lot of things, so he still had some perspective.

"oh?!"

Sure enough, when the two brothers heard this, they couldn't help but glance at the young man.

Even his servants are so eloquent, so the head of the family must be a powerful person.

"Aren't you afraid that two brothers from a certain family will not come back after taking the money?"

But don't want to.

Xue Biao suddenly came up from behind them and said loudly: "Looking at the appearance of these two heroes, a certain family must have encountered difficulties. Xue's sixty taels of silver should be treated as a favor."

Xue Biao's family has a great business, so they really don't need these sixty taels of silver.

When the two men heard this, their expressions became a little more serious.

"Zhang Heng of a certain family, this is my younger brother Zhang Shun. Now we brothers are encountering some difficulties. I wonder if the master would like to borrow another three hundred taels of silver?"

oh?

Hearing this, Xue Biao became interested and waved his hand to the boy to get the money.

Xue Biao, who personally took the three hundred taels of silver, placed it in Zhang Heng's hand.

"Go, don't talk about borrowing, this money will be treated as a gift from Xue to the two heroes."

"hey-hey."

Zhang Heng heard the words and laughed strangely twice, then held his brother's hands and turned around to leave.

The boy was dumbfounded and said quickly:

"No... the shopkeeper hasn't told those two people when we will set off!"

"Need not."

Xue Biao waved his hand openly and left.

He saw that the two brothers did not look like ordinary people. If they dared to ask for three hundred taels of silver, they must have the confidence to do so.

In this case, Xue Biao is also willing to ask for a favor from the other party.
