Peach Fortune Ring

Seeing this, Song Yan smiled slightly: "Master Hou, please come down, it's just the idea of ​​visiting those bookstores, Master Hou, am I right?"

"Nonsense, how could Ben Hou have the idea of ​​your bookstore!" Hou Wenchang shouted.

"Isn't it? That's my misunderstanding. I originally wanted to invite Lord Hou to participate in the shares. Since Lord Hou is not interested, let it be!" Song Yan said with a smile.

Immediately, Hou Wenchang's face couldn't help but turned a purple one.

Song Yan didn't seem to see Hou Wenchang's face, and said to himself: "In fact, although the bookstore has tens of thousands of taels of profit in January, in my eyes, it's just a small profit!"

A profit of tens of thousands of taels a month, or a few hundred thousand taels of a month is still a small profit, and Hou Wenchang's eyes couldn't help but glared.

Song Yan looked around and said, "Master Hou, I have a big deal and want to cooperate with you. I wonder if you are interested?"

"You all go down first!"

Now, Hou Wenchang came to his senses, waved to others, and then said to the butler: "Butler, Mr. Song's tea is cold, why don't you change Mr. Song's cup of tea!"

"No need, I just like drinking herbal tea!"

Song Yan waved his hand.

While talking, Song Yan took out eight delicately shaped glasses and put them on the table, and asked with a smile, "Master Hou, what do you think of these wine glasses?"

Seeing these wine glasses, Hou Wenchang couldn't move his eyes away, grabbed one and looked at it and praised loudly: "Baby, it's really a baby!"

Immediately, he looked at Song Yan and said, "Young Master Song, are these wine glasses a gift from you to the Marquis?"

Hearing this, Song Yan couldn't help but rolled his eyes, this Puyang Hou is really top quality, he said dumbfoundedly: "Master Hou, how much do you think such a set of cups is worth?"

"At least tens of thousands of taels!" Puyang Hou said.

"My business is related to this wine glass. I offer ten sets of wine glasses to sell to Lord Hou, one set costs 8000 taels. As for how much money Lord Hou can sell, how about all of them belong to Lord Hou?"

Hearing Song Yan's words, Hou Wenchang's breath became short of breath. Even if such a set of cups sells for 2 taels, it is not a loss. As long as he sells all ten sets of cups, wouldn't he earn more than ten yuan? Ten thousand taels of silver.

So, he looked at Song Yan and said, "Young Master Song, ten sets of cups are too few, why don't you give more to Benhou, how about Benhou giving you 1 taels of silver for a set?"

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If I want more cups, I will sell these cups later!" Song Yan said with a smile: "I have an idea for Lord Hou. You might as well invite someone to come to your house Go to a banquet and serve them with this wine glass!"

An hour later, Song Yan returned to the Taiyuan Academy in the carriage of the Houfu. The reason why he gave the glass to Puyanghou was not to make money, but to give him a chance to have cholera. Wang's Cao Kui had a chance.

Chapter 73 Presenting Treasure

The next day was the day when the list was announced.

Song Yan didn't show any anxiety or uneasiness, but waited patiently.

When approaching eleven o'clock.

The good news finally came, he won, not No.1, but No.2.

But now, he can't be called a Jinshi, thinking that only after passing the palace examination can he have the status of a Jinshi.

Although only No.2.

But it was still a very great thing, so many people came to congratulate Song Yan, and even in the evening of that day, the sacrificial wine summoned him to try his best.

The palace test will be in seven days.

Don't fail to hand in blank papers, you can get a status of Jinshi.

The first-class Jinshi will be selected by the invigilating ministers and handed over to the emperor for designation.

Hou Wenchang, the Marquis of Puyang, was an impatient person. After receiving Song Yan's advice, he invited the other three idle Marquis to his house for a banquet on the day the list was announced.

And the wine glasses used to entertain them are glass glasses.

These three marquises all had a lot of money, and they were all very fond of seeing such an exquisite wine glass, and they asked Puyang Hou where the wine glass came from.

Puyanghou didn't tell the truth, but bragged, saying that he spent a lot of money to get it from overseas, and there were only ten sets in total.

I heard that there are actually ten sets of glasses in Puyanghou's mansion.

The three Hou Ye had the cheek to buy the next set.

This cup is so beautiful, if it is used to entertain distinguished guests, it will definitely save face.

In the end, under Hou Wenchang's reluctance, the three Hou Ye took away a set of cups at a price of 3 taels each.

After seeing off the three masters, Hou Wenchang couldn't help shutting himself into the room and bursting out laughing.

The three sets of cups brought him a profit of 6000 taels. If all ten sets of cups were sold, wouldn't there be a profit of more than 20 taels, which already exceeded the income of all his properties in the Houfu for a year.

You know, the annual property of his Hou Mansion is only an income of 3 to [-] taels of silver.

It's no wonder that the bookstore that Song Yan mentioned is just a small profit. If he can sell more than 100 sets a year, wouldn't he be making millions of taels of silver?

The three Marquis who bought the wine glasses are also people who like to show off. The day after they bought the wine glasses back to the mansion, they invited a group of lords to come to the mansion for a banquet.

The group of lords had no reason to be indifferent when they saw such an exquisite and high-end wine glass. When they found out that the cup came from the Puyang Marquis Mansion, the group of lords rushed to the Puyang Marquis Mansion one after another and took the remaining seven sets. The wine glass was emptied.

This made Puyang Hou Hou Wenchang a huge profit of 22 taels, which almost didn't make him crazy.

And those lords who didn't buy wine glasses actually refused to leave.

After Hou Wenchang repeatedly promised to deliver the new wine glasses to their homes in person, the group of lords left reluctantly.

After sending the group of lords away, Hou Wenchang immediately ordered someone to contact Song Yan in secret, and brought 8 taels of silver there.

Butler Hou waited until nine o'clock in the evening before Song Yan returned.

It was Song Yan who went to visit Cai Zixiao and told him that he had won No.2.

In fact, Cai Zixiao knew it before him, but it was an attitude.

As soon as he saw Song Yan, Housekeeper Hou couldn't help lowering his voice and said: "Mr. Song, the wine glasses you provided are really easy to sell. Now all ten sets of wine glasses have been sold. What Hou Ye wants is for the old slave to come and get five more. Ten sets!"

"By the way, Mr. Song, this is the silver for the previous ten sets of wine glasses!" Hou Butler stuffed a stack of silver tickets to Song Yan.

"Butler Hou, come in and talk!"

Half an hour later, Steward Hou rode away in the carriage with a face full of joy, taking away 51 sets of wine glasses at the same time, and was even more impressed by Song Yan's explanation.

Hou Wenchang who got the wine glass immediately wanted to send the wine glass to the houses of those lords, but the butler stopped him and repeated Song Yanguo's statement that it was too late.

Although Hou Wenchang was impatient, he really felt that what Song Yan said made sense, so he was not in a hurry to send someone to deliver the wine glass.
