The son is responsible

Chapter 12 Selling Jade

Xue Huaijiu didn't know how to answer, Xue Muji pulled him and got into the carriage by himself, his jade was still in Shizi's hands, so he dared not leave.

Xue Muji also climbed out of the carriage, blinked his peachy eyes, and said slowly, "Father, mother, Master Yang taught very well, but the child is too stupid, always misunderstands the essentials, and disappoints parents."

Feng Xin touched the child's head affectionately, "Ji'er is still young, and he has already learned well. You like Master Yang teaching you, I don't want your father to change it."

Lord Xue Hou heaved a sigh of relief. He has matured a lot recently, and he looks like a prince.

Xue Muji hugged Feng Xin's neck and kissed, and said, "Mom, riding and archery is a compulsory subject for the Hou family. I have a shallow foundation, but I can't fall behind the other family's heirs. Next year, I will win the first place in the hunt." Well. I want to stay and practice after class. Father, the fourth cousin's horsemanship is very good. Today in Dongshan, the horse ran so fast that he stopped the horse after a few strokes. How about letting the fourth cousin stop after class every day? Brother, come teach me!"

Xue Muji pointed to Xue Huaijiu who was standing under the carriage.

Master Xue suppressed a smile, this kid hunted this spring and couldn't even catch a rabbit, so he still wants to be the first in next spring?He looked at Xue Huaijiu, who was dressed in plain clothes. He had heard his youngest son's thoughts on Xue Huaijiu before. Xue Huaijiu had a good character, and he also thought about it. Among the two sons in the second room, the eldest was obsessed with painting, and the second was disabled. Physically, the third child will inherit the property after the division of the second house, and there is only such a child left in the second house, who will be able to help Xue Muji in foreign affairs in the future.

Feng Xin was still thinking about it, so Master Xue agreed, and asked, "What Jier said is a good idea. The children can learn things together faster. But, is Jiuer willing?"

Xue Huaijiu was thinking about Yu, Xue Muji sat by the eaves of the carriage, dangling his calves, waiting for his answer.

Xue Huaijiu thought about Yubi, nodded and said, "Jiu'er is willing to share the worries of uncle."

Feng Xin is still worried, after all, Xue Huaijiu let a dog bite her son.But he saw Xue Muji's eyes full of longing.Don't children hold grudges?Just been bitten by a dog and forgotten in a few days?

In the end, she compromised and gave her permission in silence.It's just that Lord Hou is partial to the old lady, which still makes her uncomfortable. She is not in the mood to play, and says she wants to go back and rest.

Feng Xin got out of the carriage and went back to the house with the help of the maid.

"Father, mother is angry with you, why don't you try to coax him?" Xue Muji really obeyed his father, isn't it just because a woman wants to coax her because of her temper?

Master Xue Hou thought about it, and quickly jumped off and followed his wife back.

Xue Mujile's adults all walked away and waved, "Fourth brother, get in the car, let's go shopping."

……

Pingjiang is worthy of being a thousand-year-old trade metropolis, with a wide variety of commodities, all kinds of goods.The New Year temple fair in the imperial city of Yongdu is far behind.

Xue Muji leaned against the window of the carriage, admiring the night view of Pingjiang.He had heard the witty saying before that the most prosperous part of the Pingjiang market is Dockyard Street, which is a strange market placed on cruise ships.Every year, many tourists come to visit here.

On the pier of Pingjiang, the boats are next to the boats, and there are lanterns of various shapes.The cruise ship has a fixed load, and it will leave when it is full. After the ship leaves, it will drive along the channel. It forms a Jiangxin night market where boats drive side by side.

Near the pier, Xue Muji's carriage was overwhelmed by the crowd and it was impossible to stop, so Xue Huaiji decided to dismount and walk.There were too many people, afraid of getting lost, he grabbed Xue Huaijiu who was behind him and walked together, holding the other's thin and slender arm.

Xue Huaijiu instinctively didn't want to be dragged away, he couldn't understand why Shizi suddenly asked him to teach him how to ride and shoot, and why did Shizi take him with him when he went shopping?He flicked his wrist twice, and heard the jade peddler next to him yelling loudly that Linglong ancient jade is childlike. Thinking that his jade was still in Xue Muji's hand, he loosened his wrist instantly, and let Xue Muji obediently let it go. Muji pulls.

The river winds slowly, mottled with sparks.

Xue Muji dragged Xue Huaijiu onto a night market cruise ship, boarding the cruise ship asked for a ticket, and bought a ticket for 100 taels.It is equivalent to the price of going to Jiangxin by boat even if you don't buy anything.

Xue Muji didn't bring any silver when he went out, and Xue Huaijiu wouldn't have any. The boat owner saw that the two of them were ordinary people's clothes, and they were still two children, so he thought they were here to make trouble. Greet others.

Xue Muji said, "Don't worry, I'll look for it again."

"Should I buy a boat ticket or not?" The boss waited impatiently, the boat was full with only two people, and he was able to sail to Jiangxin to open a stall and sell goods.

Xue Muji yawned, and groped along the clothes for a long time, only found a piece of emerald jade with blurred inscriptions.

The owner of the ship's eyes widened. He has been in business for so many years, and instantly recognized the texture of jade. Liangshan emerald jade was still engraving patterns on it. He had only seen this once in his life.These two children actually have such treasures, they must have been stolen from home!Fortunately, he met him and tricked him into selling it to Yongdu for tens of thousands of taels.

The child is innocent and easy to deceive, so he quickly approached him and said, "Don't you guys want to go to Jiangxin Night Boat Market to play? This jade is not bad, I reluctantly accept it and let you board the boat."

Xue Muji looked down at Yubi, frowning tightly, as if he was making a difficult decision.

"You can't touch the patterns of the jade, and the pawn shop will accept it. The scenery in the heart of the river is beautiful, and there are many treasures, which are much better than this broken jade. Hurry up, there is no such shop after passing this village." The boss looked at The brilliance in it can't be hidden.

"Well...it seems to be a good deal..." Xue Muji held the jade and thought.

The boss nodded hurriedly, "It's a good deal. I have a special hit with the young master. How about it? Each of you picks one of the goods on my ship today, and I don't count your money."

Xue Muji felt that someone was pulling his clothes behind him.He smiled slightly and said to his boss, "I want to discuss it with my brother for a while."

The boss gave way, and he could see that the taller kid behind Xue Muji was anxious, as if he didn't want to sell. The little boy wanted to get on the boat.

Xue Muji was dragged by Xue Huaijiu to the boat.

Xue Huaijiu was worried, he knew that Xue Muji would bring him out for no good, but he didn't think that he would sell his jade in front of his face.Not to mention that he has no money to redeem them, these ship dealers only come to the pier every year when the Pingjiang boat market is held, where can he find them?

The boss followed them all the time, Xue Muji found a corner to make sure the boss couldn't see them, and just stopped, the people next to him burst into tears, "Your Majesty, you promised me that if I listen to everything Yours, you can return the jade to me tomorrow. Jade is worthless, you despise it, but this is the only thing my mother left me, son, please don’t sell it.”

I thought I pretended not to care, and returned the jade bi to him when the prince was overheated, but who knew that the prince would sell the jade bi in front of him?

Seeing the anxious red circles of the person in front of him, Xue Muji was inexplicably happy.The resentment that had been ignored for the past few days dissipated in an instant.He raised the jade bi, "I'll pick it up for you, but you didn't even say thank you, I thought you didn't care."

Xue Huaijiu asked, "Your Majesty is not for sale?"

"It's fine if you don't sell jade, then let's sell you. If I sell you, I will have enough money to board the boat." Xue Muji wanted to make a joke, and he pointed to the westernmost alley.

"me……"

Xue Huaijiu's face turned red, that alley leads directly to Hongyi Alley, where the most famous brothels in Pingjiang are located, and there are also a few small brothels for rich men with special interests.

"Forget it, I won't tease you, I never thought of selling your jade bi." Xue Muji took out his handkerchief, and the people in front of him were crying unconsciously. He raised his arm and used the handkerchief to help the delicate jade bi. Face wiped away tears.

Does he dare to sell it?

This is the relic of the future Dali Temple Qing's mother!He has too many heads and wants to have a few more cut off, right?

Xue Muji took out the jade bi just now, it was unintentional, he forgot to stuff the jade bi into his bosom before going out.He originally wanted to take the opportunity to play a show for the boss who underestimated him, but Xue Huaijiu took it seriously.

"Fourth brother, I'm joking with you, return the jade bi to you, keep it well, don't say he is worthless, your mother left you a treasure, don't talk about this amount." Xue Muji stuffed the jade bi to Xue Huai Blame, made a five.

Fifty thousand, fifty thousand taels.

Xue Huaijiu got the jade bi and finally felt at ease.Fortunately, the jade bi was picked up and not sold. It seems that Shi Zi really didn't intend to embarrass him.Shizi just made a gesture of five, yes, five taels of silver jade, naturally cannot enter the eyes of Shizi.

"Thank you." After hesitating for three, Xue Huaijiu said in a low voice.

He originally thought that Xue Muji would mock him as before, but Xiao Shizi replied with a bright smile.

Xue Muji's excited heart beat extremely violently, his relationship with the future minister of Dali Temple finally made a little progress.

Xue Muji snapped his fingers, Fufeng Fuyun left and right, jumped out from the bottom of the wooden frame on the embankment, and climbed onto the pier.

"200 taels of silver." Xue Muji stretched out his hand.

Fufeng immediately took out 200 taels of silver and handed it over.

A mere 200 taels is like waste paper in Xuehou's mansion.The gap, the naked gap!Dafu Pingjiang too!Xue Muji was thinking about his previous life, when Princess Qi'an's Mansion was the poorest, 200 taels of silver was enough for their family of three for a whole year.

"When the night market is closed, tomorrow morning, after the merchant ship sets sail, scuttle that ship for me." The ship Xue Muji said was the ship of the ship owner who just wanted to buy jade. Lied to children, hmph, the boss was unlucky to meet him.

Fufeng Fuyun immediately took orders and disappeared at the embankment.

Xue Muji passed by holding the bank note, and the boss wanted to ask about Yubi, without realizing who he had offended, and his boat would become a sacrifice to the sea god who was submerged in the Pingjiang River Basin.

Xue Muji waved the bank note in his hand, and said excitedly, "Just now I picked up 200 taels of silver note, which is just enough to take a boat to Jiangxin Night Boat Market! So, I won't sell the jade bi, I will save it for next year Sell."

What?Picked up 200 taels of silver! ! !

The boss was dumbfounded, Xue Muji dragged his elder brother and strode aboard the boat.
