The happy life of a prodigal

If it weren't for the luxurious clothes on this person, he wouldn't look like an ordinary person.

Fang Xiu felt pity for his talents and wanted to recruit him into Baolefang and let him run the auction.

"It turned out to be Master Ding..."

At this moment, Wang Baole also understood the identity of this person, and after being slightly surprised, a formulaic smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Master Ding, this matter is not up to our Baolefang to decide.

I still need to ask Mr. Li and listen to Mr. Li's opinion. I wonder if Mr. Ding can wait for a while? "

Na Ding Tong obviously regarded these six glazed treasures as his own, and he was calm from the beginning to the end. He nodded and said, "Go."

"Okay, you will be later."

Wang Baole showed an apologetic expression to the rest of the people, cupped his hands, and then came to the backyard, and walked around to the box from the backyard.

"Master, do you see?"

Wang Baole stood in front of Fang Xiu and asked respectfully.

"Since he wants it, give it to him..."

Fang Xiu didn't care much about the money.

And he really wanted to see what kind of expression this guy should have when he knew how many similar colored glazes he had.

After all, he didn't care about such a little money, but for a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang, it was going to be to the point of hurting his muscles and bones.

"Yes, Master!"

Wang Baole responded, then returned to the venue, looked at the crowd, and said loudly: "Young Master Li has agreed to auction off the remaining six colored glaze treasures together, with a starting price of 5000 taels of silver!

Master Ding Tong Ding has already made an offer, do you have anything else to follow? "

Now that they knew that it was Ding Tong who made the offer, everyone showed eager expressions on their faces.

After all, compared to them, Ding Tong can be regarded as a half-professional player.

Since people are willing to buy these with 5000 taels of silver, it must mean that the value of these glazed treasures must still have room for price increases.

After hesitating for a while, someone finally followed: "Five thousand and one hundred taels!"

"...200 taels!"

Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs...

The dignified member of the etiquette department, Wailang, if it was in the past, and others knew his identity, how would they dare to follow him again.

But now, Yang Zheng from the Ministry of Rites is resigning from his old age and returning to his hometown. In fact, he was kicked out by the current emperor.

Xin'anbo, who is the most powerful now, has a feud with the Ministry of Rites.

The most important point is that the Ministry of Rites used to be King Ning's stronghold, and from top to bottom, they were all loyal supporters of King Ning without exception.

Therefore, after this incident, His Majesty may not take any action in a short period of time.

But these old departments of the Ministry of Rites, there is no doubt that they will not end well in the future.

It is already a great fortune for this ceremonial member Uiro to continue to sit in this position.

"Five thousand and one hundred taels!"

"..."

Finally, after a long period of competition, the price was finally fixed at 500 taels.

Undoubtedly, it was Ding Tong, the member of the Ministry of Rites, who got the six glazed treasures in the end.

"Congratulations to Master Ding, congratulations to Master Ding, you are blessed with six treasures!"

After dropping the hammer, Wang Baole showed a smile on his face, walked up to Ding Tong and congratulated him.

Ding Tong's complexion was a bit unsightly.

Originally, he thought he could buy it for 5000 taels at most, but now he spent a full 500 taels more.

What is the concept of 500 taels? Before Xin'anbo sells the house, I am afraid that I can buy a compound in the capital!

In the final analysis, it is because your identity in the Ministry of Rites does not have any deterrent effect, and others don't care about you as a member of the Ministry of Rites.

Not to mention Yuanwailang of the fourth grade, even Mr. Shi Lang, I am afraid that not many people pay attention to it now.

It is precisely because of this that he has strengthened his confidence to continue on this path.

What status, what power, are all fake, like a mirror, which will break at the touch of a finger.

Only silver...that's true!

He didn't think he had done anything unconscionable, and he didn't know anything about King Ning.

If there was any problem, it was just a little bit of targeting Fang Xiu, the prodigal son.

However, in his opinion, this is not a bad thing, but a good thing that benefits the country and the people!

In his eyes, Fang Xiu in the past was an out-and-out dandy, but now Xin Amber is an authentic courtier!

No matter from which angle, you can call him a national thief!

However, now on this wave, he can only bury these words in his heart.

"Master Ding, do you take these six glazed treasures away now, or send someone to deliver them to your residence?"

Standing in front of Ding Tong, Wang Baole asked with a smile on his face.

Ding Tong glanced at him, feeling even more resentful.

Today, the shopkeeper of a small Baolefang doesn't take himself seriously anymore.

If it was before, wouldn't he kneel down and salute himself?

He took a deep breath, suppressed those dissatisfied emotions, and said lightly: "I will send someone to my house later..."

After finishing speaking, he didn't want to stay for a moment, turned around and left the auction.

Chapter 6: Liulifang

Fang Xiu walked out of Baolefang, and didn't go back to Fang's mansion first, but got into the carriage and went straight to the north of the city.

It has been three full days since I paid 1 taels of silver a few days ago.

If Charlie hadn't been idle, he should have figured out something.

After getting off the carriage, layers of guards and hidden guards not far away came into view.

If you don't know, seeing this scene, you would have thought that His Majesty came for a private visit.

"Master!"

When the guards saw Fang Xiu, they saluted in unison.

Fang Xiu nodded slightly, then opened the door and walked into the courtyard.

The small courtyard today is very different from the small courtyard three days ago.

Both the layout and the decoration have undergone tremendous changes.

Completely changed from a residence to a small workshop.

One room was converted into a boiler.

Fang Xiu found Charlie and his apprentice in this room.

Both of them were unkempt, and if they hadn't heard his strange accent, they wouldn't have recognized that it was Charlie.

Next to the boiler is something that looks like sand, but it is quite different from yellow sand. It is crystal clear, and it seems a bit like...quartz?

Fang Xiu walked up to Charlie, looked at him, and asked, "How is the glass I want?"

Charlie heard his voice unexpectedly, was startled, turned his head, saw Fang Xiu, stood up hastily, squeezed out a smile, and said with a unique accent: "Sir, it's very kind of you to come.

After the hard work of my apprentices and I, the first glazed treasure has been baked and placed with Director Bai. I can take you to have a look. "

Three days, so fast?

Fang Xiu was a little surprised when he heard this, but the expression on his face was very indifferent. He nodded and said only one word: "Okay."

Following Charlie, he left this small room and went to another room. There was a glass bowl on the table. It was naturally different from the glass bowl in the previous life, but in this era, it was like a lost gem. treasures.

Fang Xiu looked at the glass bowl, feeling a little overwhelmed.

My guess is not wrong, this Charlie really can make glass!

This is glass!

Among other things, I couldn't stand the paper windows for a long time.

During the day, not much light can penetrate, which makes people feel uneasy.

At night, the wind blows in bursts, making people feel even more uncomfortable.

Now with glass, all this will be easily solved.

He has already decided that as soon as the glass is fired, the first thing he will do is to replace all the paper windows in Fangfu with glass!

"You did very well."

Fang Xiu suppressed his excitement, looked at Charlie, smiled on his face, and said, "The next thing you need to do is to teach my people how to make colored glaze.

As long as my people successfully create Liuli, of course, if it is done alone, you and your apprentice can leave. "

Having said that, he paused, and added: "Of course, you have another choice, which is to stay and be the shopkeeper of Liulifang, and I will give you 1000 taels of silver every month.

And it does not restrict your freedom. Even if someone finds out that you were shoddy and wants revenge, I can provide you with protection. "

When Charlie heard this, his face showed a thoughtful look, after thinking for a while, he still raised his eyes, looked at Fang Xiu, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir, for your invitation.

But I prefer to travel around the world by myself. Chu is very nice and beautiful, and the food is delicious, but as an adventurer, I still want to explore more places.

Now is not the time to stop.

One day when I am old, I may return to the capital, find a small courtyard, and quietly wait for my life to disappear. "

When he said this, his tone was very calm.

Fang Xiu couldn't help but look at him more, and he could see it in his eyes.

He said exactly what he thought.

I have to say that this guy is still very romantic, quite the style of his youth.

It is not right or wrong, it is just a choice whether to spend your life quietly, or to take risks, play around, and seek those different lives.

Now that he has made a choice for his own life, Fang Xiu has no right or willingness to interfere.

He nodded and said with a smile: "If I knew how to make colored glaze before, maybe we would be very good friends."

After communicating with Charlie for a long time, Fang Xiu's talking habits have become a bit like the previous life.

When Charlie heard this, he smiled and was noncommittal.

Everyone is innocent, but he still understands the reason why pregnant women are guilty.

Because I know how to make colored glaze, I can never be friends, but only a subordinate, or a tool.

Perhaps... using the word "tool man" is more vivid.

However, neither the civilization of Chu State nor the civilization of his hometown seems to have similar words.

Fang Xiu looked at him, stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and said, "Keep working hard...

After my people have fired the glass, you can pursue your ideals. "

"Okay, thank you sir."

Charlie maintained his usual politeness.

I have to say, it's a bit of a Western gentleman.

The premise is that he didn't lie about being a missionary to avoid possible dangers.

Now, even if he behaves as a gentleman, he can only be said to be a hypocrite, not fundamentally different from many hypocrites above the court.

Fang Xiu nodded, left the room, and called Bai Xiaochun.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

Bai Xiaochun stood in front of Fang Xiu, with an upright appearance, he seemed to be a different person from the indifference and ruthlessness when he was monitoring Charlie before.
