He Shen

"Brother, slow down."

Manchu people like to live in groups. Shanbao belongs to Zhenghongqi. His home is not far from Niu Hulu. to leave.

Fu Bao supported his elder brother's arm, fearing that Shan Bao would lose too much blood, so he opened the door, and Fu Bao quickly helped his elder brother to the room to rest.Shanbao sat on the bed happily with a small box in his arms.

"Brother, I'm going to buy some brown sugar, red dates, and red beans first. You need to rest first." Fubao twitched and was about to go out.

"What are you doing, no one in our family is confinement! Fool, come here." Shanbao opened the small box with a smile, and took out the land deed bank note with the big red seal inside.Shanbao suddenly let out a "giggle" laugh like an old hen laying eggs, which startled Fubao, and hurriedly turned back when he reached the door, for fear that his brother would break his brain.

Shanbao stretched out his jade-white fingers, stroking the deed in his hand like a lover's skin, the corners of his lips were raised high, revealing a row of small white teeth.Tsk tsk, this Niu Hulu's house is really nice.Look at these Zhuangzi, the big one has 50 hectares, and the small one has 20 hectares. Tsk tsk, this is a ready-made land rich man.

There are also some scattered silver bills, which together cost two or three hundred taels, which is enough for their brothers.

"Brother, are you alright?" Fu Bao worriedly touched Shan Bao's forehead, he didn't feel hot.

"Don't mess around, I'm fine." Shanbao picked up the banknotes in the box again, and roughly calculated, "We also have a hundred acres of land, a thousand taels of silver, at least enough for life. I'll go buy it tomorrow." Come here, a cook girl, so we don’t have to cook and do the laundry by ourselves. From now on, you can study hard for me, and you will be named on the gold list in the future, and you will honor your ancestors.”

Fu Bao responded, "Brother, then you rest first, I'll go shopping. Brother, you've bled so much on your head, you need to take some good supplements."

"Well, go to the yard and pick a persimmon for me, it's bright yellow, it looks sweet."

Fu Bao immediately went out and picked a branch of persimmons and came in. The dark green leaves set off two fist-sized yellow persimmons, which were very cute. "It's still a little hard, not too soft, let's eat it after a while." Shanbao took it, enjoyed it for a while, got up and put the persimmons on the table, and said with a smile, "Okay, don't cook, let's go out Eat. After a while, I will go to the carpentry store to buy some furniture, and I will pick some servants."

"Brother, you should rest at home, there is no rush to buy things." Fu Bao advised.

"Well, it makes sense." Shanbao doesn't trust the current level of medical treatment, so he gave Fubao ten taels of silver, "Stop cooking at home, go to a restaurant outside and ask for a few side dishes, and bring them home. When I get hurt It’s better, go buy a servant, and someone will do the housework.”

"Brother, one or two won't work."

"Take the extra money with you. You can use it in school or when you need it." Shanbao said, "If you spend it or not, bring it with you. It can also be used in emergencies."

Only then did Fu Bao accept it.

All in all, now that Shanbao is not only living for the better, his mood is always sunny.

Sure enough, the Suochaoluo family sent gifts as Niu Hulu and Guozhong expected. Shanbao did not sell them for money this time. Put it away properly.

If you have money, save things first.

Shanbao was not familiar with the old Beijing city, and the wounds on his forehead were covered with scabs. The first thing he did was to go shopping in the street with money in his pocket.

Suo Chuoluo's family was too ruthless, Shanbao's family was wiped out except for the house and the Shanbao brothers.Shanbao thinks he is not a person who is good at enjoying, but living in such an empty room is still beyond Shanbao's psychological expectations.

When he first came to the Qing Dynasty, Shanbao actually didn’t complain much, except for the cow dung and horse dung on the street. Although there were dung pickers, they were really annoying.

"Shanbao?"

Fukang'an saw Shanbao jumping around with the hem of his robe in his hands from a distance, and felt a little funny, so he drove forward and called him, "Why haven't you gone to school yet?"

Shanbao turned his head, and Fukang'an jumped when he was startled.

Let's talk about Shanbao, now that he is young, his appearance has not yet grown, but he is also recognized as a handsome scholar in school, and now the scab on his forehead has just fallen off, and there is a white mark left, why is there another growth on his forehead together?

Disfigured.

This was Fukang'an's first reaction.

As soon as Shanbao approached, Fukang'an asked, "What's the matter with your head, why are you dying twice every day?"

"You didn't go to school?" Shanbao was a little curious, didn't he hear that Fu Kang'an was also studying in a government school?

"I have something to do, I'm entering the palace." Fukang'an dismounted, pulled Shanbao to the side of the street, and asked with a smile, "You are not at home recuperating, what are you doing here?"

"It's ready, I'm going out to buy things." Shanbao was in a hurry, and asked with a smile, "Are you going back to your home?" Be sensible and hurry up, we don't know each other well.

Fukang'an is not a stupid person. Although he is the nephew of Emperor Qianlong, his empress aunt has passed away for several years. There are four brothers in his family, and Emperor Qianlong loves him very much. It can be seen that Fukang'an is also a A person with a lot of ability can make a living in front of Qianlong, at least he must know the height of his eyebrows.

Fukang'an's heart moved slightly, and he realized that this was Shanbao driving people away.If someone said that in front of him, he would definitely be angry, but Shanbao is his confidant who will be cultivated in the future.Last time he gave Shanbao something, but there was still a lack of heart-to-heart feelings for each other. Fukang'an felt that he needed a chance to get to know each other, so he deliberately sighed, "Oh, it's not easy to come out to play when I have time, why go back in a hurry Well. When I go home, I am either studying or practicing martial arts. Ama also has to test bow and arrow riding and archery. Are you tired? I happen to be fine. Where are you going? Let me take you, four legs are always faster than two legs. "

"That's really troublesome for you. I have to go to the woodworking shop. Would you like to stop by?" Shanbao asked along the way.Hitchhiking can save you money.

Fukangan took the rein from Xiaoxizi, the valet, and raised his chin to signal, "You go up first."

"Go ahead, I'll sit behind you."

Fukang'an is 15 years old. He is well-nourished, tall and strong, and full of heroic spirit. Compared with Shanbao, he is a head taller. Shanbao secretly rolls his eyes: stupid big guy, stupid big guy...

"Shanbao, if I tell you to get on, hurry up, if you dawdle any longer, it will be dark in a while. You are not stable in the back, what should you do if you fall?" Fu Kang'an taught Shanbao a few words.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Only girls sit in front." Shanbao gave Fu Kang'an a sideways look.

Shanbao is an authentic Danfeng eye. Although there are two wounds on the forehead, there is a bit of charm when Hengbo sweeps it away at this time. It makes Fukang feel an itch in his heart. Not only does he not feel disobedient, but he is also cheap He laughed, "Where did you hear such nonsense, it's nothing, get on the horse." As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Jia Shanbao's waistline, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything because he was wearing thick clothes.

"I'll just go to the carriage and horse shop to rent a carriage." Shanbao wanted to leave, and Fukang'an had to surrender, "Okay, I'll get on the horse first, you sit behind me, you have to hug me tightly, I may not be able to save you if you fall I'll let you down."

Do I need your help? My riding skills are very good!

Shanbao groaned, Renfu Kangan grabbed the front bridge of the saddle, tapped the ground with his toes, turned over and sat firmly on the horse. With that posture and movement, even a layman like Shanbao would be jealous for a while. for a while.

A pair of black buckskin boots with pinched moiré pattern stepped on the stirrups. Shanbao glanced at Fukang'an, feeling sour, "You are stepping on the stirrups, how can I get on?"

Fukang'an thought Shanbao was interesting anyway, so he gave up the horse stirrup with a smile, Shanbao brushed off his clothes, and said politely, "You sit still. Come on, give me a hand."

Fukang'an turned sideways and stretched out a clean and slender hand. Shanbao first stepped on the stirrup with his left foot, and held Fukang'an's hand with his left hand...Of course, Shanbao also wants to save face and wants to learn Fukang Anfei is handsome on a horse, but he is studying literature, lacks exercise, and lacks strength in his feet, so he had to use his hands to borrow strength, and almost dragged Fukang An to the ground. Xiao Xizi rushed up to help him in shock. Shanbao grabbed his waist, and then Shanbao turned his right leg onto the horse's back and sat behind Fukang'an.

Fukang'an's hand was pinched by Shanbao, his mouth was numb, and his whole arm was sore. Shanbao twisted his butt a few times, found a comfortable position, and complained, "Fukan'an, you don't have much strength, I'm so weak. Thin, you can’t even pull it up. Move forward, it’s crowded.”

"How can you get on a horse like you? Don't say you are stupid, but blame others. You just look thin, and you fall like a weight." Fukang'an snorted, and looked back to see that Shanbao was still adjusting his sitting posture. He said kindly, "Don't move around, where do you put your hands, hug my waist, if you fall, I can't hold you back."

"Look at what you said, it's really rubbish. Is this what someone who wants to be a general said?" Shanbao pushed Fukang'an, "Sit forward, don't you feel crowded?"

"This is a horse, not a carriage. It's just such a big place. Hold on tight and go to the woodworking shop, right?" Fukangan let the horse jog, but he was still coaxed by Shanbao's phrase "a man who wants to be a general" Have fun.

The weather is fine today, but the wind is a bit strong on the horse, so Shanbao hides behind Fukang'an to avoid the wind.

Well, with people like Fukang'an, you can't be too respectful.He knows how to look like a superior person, the higher you stand, the more you have to show closeness to the people, equality, etc... For example, every New Year's Eve, the country's top leaders have to go to the countryside to cook a meal Chinese New Year dumplings...

For example, Fukang'an, if you really kneel down and call Fu Sanye, people don't necessarily glance at you.You have to stab him twice, coax him once, make him uneasy, make him feel like you treat him as a friend, it’s quite close, natural, quite... After a long time, maybe a revolution can develop friendship.

Although in fate, it seems that the two powerful ministers, He Shen and Fu Kang'an, are on the wrong track, but Shanbao really doesn't want to offend Fu Kang'an... The backstage of this family is too hard.

Shanbao made a list of everything he wanted to buy, ranging from large imperial concubine couches and chests to small pot stands and octagonal stools, and listed dozens of items.

Shanbao made every choice, but Fukang'an had a lot of opinions, "What kind of wood is this? How old is it? Look at the color is not very clear..."

"If you come back to the master, it's made of 30-year-old elm wood." The shopkeeper's eyes have been experienced for many years, and he sees that Fukan'an has the word "rich and honor" written on him from head to toe. Shanbao was a child, and the shopkeeper asked tentatively, "If you don't like it, there is still good mahogany, would you like to have a look?"

Fukang'an saw that Shanbao was caressing a noble concubine couch with embossed flowers and riches, and couldn't help frowning, "This carver is too rustic." He tapped a few times with his fingers and asked, "Is there any?" A couch made of yellow rosewood?"

Sure enough, he is a big customer, the shopkeeper smiled apologetically, "Look at what I said, now there are boards of huanghuali, who dares to unpack them casually and make them into furniture? Customers are invited to look at these boards, unseal them, and invite them to buy them again." The best carpenters unpack furniture and don’t dare to waste a single corner.”

"It's not that you bought it with money, where do you get these opinions?" Shanbao asked the shopkeeper, "How much money is this bed?"

"Master, I dare not quote you a false price, one tael of silver."

Shanbao smiled, and took out the list of furniture to buy from his sleeve, "Look at what you have here, I'll take a look, if it's suitable to buy together, you can send me home directly, so I don't have to go elsewhere."

"Okay." The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he saw it, and asked, "Sir, do you want any good elm furniture? In our shop, is there any ready-made huanghuali and rosewood furniture, and mahogany furniture?" Not bad either."

"Yeah. Elm is cheap."

Shanbao was quick at shopping, and after picking out one by one, he sat in the grand master's chair and bargained with the shopkeeper.

"Well, you can't do it at this price." Shanbao shook his head, took the small abacus from the shopkeeper, set two round beads, and smiled, "This price."

The shopkeeper gasped, and said with a bitter face, "Master, you should give us some food money anyway."

Shanbao caressed the hem of the robe in front of his knees, stroked it smooth again and again, and said with a smile, "I bought a lot in the first place, and for such a big business, your store should also give me a little discount. .Furthermore, for this price, you have to think about it yourself..."

The hard-fought bargaining between the two opened Fukang'an's eyes.

"Master, you are adding some, this number. If the furniture you bought in my store is broken, you can send it back to me, and I will repair it for you for free." The shopkeeper bowed his body.

Shanbao bent his eyes, "Give me a reasonable price this time, and it will be the next business."

"You should add a little more, if you want to sell you at that amount, the boss will slap me when he comes back."

"It's okay, just give your boss my address and tell him to find me." Shanbao refused to let go.

Fu Kang'an was impatient and said impatiently, "Forget it, the things here are not very good, go to another house to see, dawdling, no pleasure."

Shanbao smiled and stood up, "That's right, what you said is reasonable. I don't want to make you lose money, the shopkeeper. Since you feel that you are losing money at this price, then forget it, and I will buy the same from another store."

The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped Shanbao, and the two immediately paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other in a friendly manner. Shanbao stood by and stared at the command, "Don't take these samples and send them to my house. I don't know how many times they have been touched by others." Come back, it’s all second-hand, and you still want to sell it to me, the shopkeeper. That’s no good, second-hand goods are the price of second-hand goods.”

"Hey, Lord, I dare not fool you even if I borrow the guts of the sky." The shopkeeper personally refilled tea for Shanbao and Fukang'an, and said with a smile, "Please take a seat, Lord, and I will personally arrange for them to load the car."

Shanbao nodded.

But Fukang'an got impatient, he didn't take a sip of the tea here, and pointed to Xiao Xizi, "Let Shanbao watch here, and tell them to pick up new ones and send them to Shanbao's house, we'll go back first. "

Xiao Xizi said worriedly, "Master Shanbao, if you don't mind, just ride the slave's horse, and the slave will go to your house with their carpenter's cart in a while."

Shanbao happily agreed.

Fukangan glanced at Xiao Xizi indifferently: talkative.
