By Jia Xiuzhen

Not to mention how Li Wan used his spiritual sense to control things and humiliate the gods. Anyway, now that he has the silver ticket, he only thinks about how to send it to Wu Zhaonan and his wife.I wanted to give the money secretly, but thinking about the temperament of Wu Zhaonan and his wife, I am afraid that they would not accept money from unknown sources, let alone spend it.It's just that if he said that he gave it to him, if the 200 million went out, he wouldn't get 300 million back?It's really sad.After much deliberation, I still wrote a letter, wrapped the bank notes in an exquisite towel, packed them in an ebony box, and packed them in Qingyunhe.Wu Zhaonan, an old man in Tsing Yi among the Five Elements Puppets, and his wife are discussing this year's Codonopsis ginseng purchase with a local medicine store in Shanxi, but they are one step too late. Some people have quoted prices that are [-]% higher than last year, and Taiwanese Codonopsis ginseng is more than doubled.Long-term discussions have no results, and it is also a helpless thing to talk about profit in business.The two went back to the local shop on Hesheng Road, discussed with the medicine head who was in charge of buying here for half a day, and then went back to the backyard to rest.

Mrs. Wu was a little tired, and said in a low voice: "If you take this kind of price, unless they don't want to do business anymore, otherwise the medicine will have to be sold at what price to get back the cost." Wu Zhaonan sighed: "It's for us. Not to mention anything else, the Guipi Pills and Qingbu Dan in Guangming Year have already received seven or eight orders, if you can't buy enough ginseng, how will you deliver the goods?"

Wu thought about it carefully, and said bitterly: "It's a vicious method. If we can't deliver the goods, we have to refund the buyer's deposit plus [-]%. If we want to deliver the goods, we can only accept this price. Then the order The price has already been negotiated, but this medicine is sold for a loss. I don't believe it, if we don't want it, they can accept it at the current price, and they won't pay if they accept it?" Wu Zhaonan said with a wry smile: "We and Shengdao’s brand can’t afford it, and they don’t have it, so why not? Not to mention how much money was spent on the other side to plot against us, even if the money on the other side is not enough. Son, is it rare in medicine stores?"

Wu's anger could not be subdued when she heard this, but she couldn't think of any way to do it.Nowadays, Poria cocos, Lycium barbarum, Astragalus, Angelica, Chuanxiong, Dihuang, Aconite, Shouwu, Ejiao... But the commonly used ones with large production areas are paid a very high price. Fees, and the money seems to be in vain.

There are also medicinal materials shops that have a close relationship with Heshengdao and are willing to give in at a low price, but there are not many of them in the end.What's more, some people deliberately let out rumors, and those drug growers and herbal collectors also raised their prices. Could it be that the medicinal materials store should bear the deficit for themselves?It's really unthinkable, but I have to admire the enemy's generosity and clever calculations.

The two returned to the room, neither sleepy, sitting opposite each other on a square wooden table with a lamp.Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, and I was a little surprised when I took a look at it. The courtyard is very quiet, why didn't I hear a footstep when someone knocked on the door.Wu Zhaonan immediately got up and went to open the door, but there was no one there. When he was about to close the door, he saw a box on the bluestone threshold.After hesitating for a moment, he finally took it into the house.

Standing by the table, Mrs. Wu saw him coming in with a box in her hands, and asked, "Which one is it?"

Wu Zhaonan shook his head and said, "I haven't seen anyone."

After saying that, she went to lift the lid of the box, and Mrs. Wu hurriedly said, "Be careful!"

Wu Zhaonan had already opened the box, saw a letter on it, was taken aback, Wu also recognized the writing on it, and said: "This is not..."

Wu Zhaonan hurriedly signaled him to keep quiet, got up and bolted the outside door, and closed the window of the room, then turned around and said, "Look at what you said."

The two picked up the letter and saw that there was a bulging brocade bag underneath. They took it to see what it was, but they couldn't open it.Then he took the letter and read it. After reading it, Mrs. Wu read it again as if she couldn't believe her eyes. Fang murmured: "How can you say that?"

Wu Zhaonan didn't talk much at the moment, he took a golden needle, warmed it slightly on the fire, and handed it to Wu Shi, Wu Shi lightly pricked his fingertip, squeezed out a drop of blood and dripped on the brocade bag, ignoring the pain, Pick up the brocade bag and take a closer look.It's strange to say that just now I couldn't even find an opening, but now it's very easy to open.

A thick stack of bank notes, Hengtong Bank of the same color, some of which are covered with the seams of the Four Seas Trading Company, a little thicker, a total of 200 million taels.The two stared blankly, not knowing what to say for a while.It was Mrs. Wu who came to her senses first, and said first, "Sister... my sister said, 'If you still need this item, just report the number', she is... somewhere to build a golden mountain."

Wu Zhaonan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's a pity that we still have to give away people's shares, oh!" Counting up', it sounds like the tone of the Tao if you listen carefully."

Wu Zhaonan couldn't help laughing out loud.Wu said: "Tell me, could it be the girl coaxing us? She also knows, and she is afraid that we will not accept her help." Wu Zhaonan said with a smile: "No. Just think about it, who can steal things Put it quietly at our door and no one will be disturbed? The four brothers of the Bai family are right outside."

Wu Shi said: "No, I didn't expect it just now." Wu Zhaonan said seriously: "The people they sent last time, we have almost dealt with them. It can be seen that even in the hands of the enemy, they can't send more powerful people In the final analysis, if you have the skill just now, let alone us, even in the world, you can come and go freely!" Wu Shi nodded and said nothing.

Wu Zhaonan said: "How can such a person be bought with gold, silver and other treasures? But he gave us things for my sister, so it can be seen that what the sister said is not to coax us. I am afraid that my aunt and old man will help my sister, otherwise I would not dare Let her marry to such a family as the eldest son and daughter-in-law. If we are not in danger now, I am afraid that we will not easily reveal these things to others. For the present plan, the most important thing is not to let anyone find anything from us to implicate the girl .”

After hearing this, Wu asked anxiously: "What should I do? With so much money, no one will check it when it is spent?" Wu Zhaonan said: "Don't you take a closer look? What's on it?" Wu looked it over a little, Squinting his eyes, he said, "What do you mean?" Wu Zhaonan said with a chuckle, "After midnight tonight, let the brothers from the Bai family accompany us to Mr. Xunlu for a drink of Yelaojiu!"

In a few days, it was reported in Beijing that He Shengdao's owner and his wife visited Fulu, a Sihai trading company late at night in Shanxi, and began to buy Codonopsis ginseng at a high price the next day, which seemed to be helped.He thought He Shengdao had been cornered, but he didn't think that the Four Seas Trading Company still had the strength to help him at this time, so there was a bit of chaos there.Fortunately, considering the Sihai Commercial Bank's situation this year, it is rare to be able to move tens of thousands of taels, but it is still possible to fight.Naturally, it is another matter of dispatching troops to the east and west.

Li Wan, who caused the disaster, took Mu Lao back into the Pearl Realm, and was overjoyed. This is a new way of playing, but it's a pity that the control of things with spiritual consciousness cannot be manipulated in the Pearl Realm, and must be outside. It will be difficult to handle.Even so, after spending the money earned in the past two years, it is his turn to spend his own money. Those golden melon seeds, gold leaves and gold pancakes were not touched much back then, let alone the fine prunes that Hong Da twisted now. .This Mu Lao Hongda was also the name Li Wan gave the Five Elements Puppet, just like Ah Tu, for the sake of convenience.

At the Caotian Manor, after Ji Liang settled the bill with Grandma Xu, Grandma Xu asked someone to bring out a small box, opened it, and saw that there were neatly stacked golden pancakes.Ji Liang smiled wryly and said, "Ma'am, don't you settle with the banknotes?" Madam Xu laughed and said, "Grandma said, the banknotes are all from you, and it's so boring to return them to you. Isn't that , here are some fresh ones for you, have you got a large scale? It makes weighing one by one very difficult.”

Ji Liang waved his hand, and a boy dressed in blue and gray beside him walked to the box, picked up a gold cake and looked at it, then covered the box and hugged it.Mother Xu smiled and said, "Is that how you trust me? I won't admit that I'm short of taels." Ji Liang glanced at the boy, who laughed and said, "Each gold cake is more than ten taels. There are 27 pieces in this box, and I gave them too much in silver at the official price, the younger ones, thank you grandma for the reward."

Mother Xu smiled and said: "What a poor-mouthed monkey, the hand is very accurate." Ji Liang smiled and said: "It's not accurate for those who specialize in this." She raised her voice and said to Nanny Xu: "Mom, the backstage of Hengtong Yinzhuang is against the sky. It is convenient to ask grandma to change some loose tickets. The gold of this quality is converted into two silver at the official price, but it is a big loss." Xu Nanny smiled wryly. : "How can I not know this? But why people don't listen. Anyway, there is no advantage to outsiders, let him go." Ji Liang was taken aback when he heard it, and walked out with a big smile.

It was Mid-Autumn Festival, and people inside and outside the capital were busy celebrating the August Festival. Li Wan's place was quiet today, and he simply sat up after reading the book.But after a while, he opened his eyes and asked Suyun to come in and said: "Find some thicker clothes and come out, why do you feel a little cold now?" Suyun asked suspiciously: "The few of us are sitting outside. I don't think so, maybe it's because of the coldness in this room. How thick does grandma want, and can it be made of jackets?"

Li Wan said: "Take out a few more pieces, cotton cloaks, hairy ones, everything is fine." After a pause, "You also take out a few pieces. You don't feel like moving at the moment. You should be quiet at night." It's getting cold." Suyun recalled that Taohuaxue was still wearing Li Wan's clothes last time, so she promised to go get ready.She has always been a caring person, so she naturally prepared Bi Yue's as well.

Li Wan actually had other concerns. When he was sitting quietly just now, although he didn't use his spiritual sense, he sensed a cold current surging from the north with a surging momentum, which was shocking.It really won't be long before peace of mind.

Sure enough, a cold wind blew up in the evening, and Nanny Chang said with a smile, "I've only heard of clouds covering the moon on August [-]th, but no snow on August [-]th!" Although there was no snow, it was late at night , the cold wind was howling like the depths of winter.At night when Suyun went to the night, Li Wan thought about the cold air, so he didn't activate the Yangchun formation. Suyun was wrapped in a quilt, and a few thick clothes that he took out in the afternoon were pressed on it, which would be able to resist the cold air.

On Caotian Manor, listening to the white hair wind outside, Qiao Niang got up and fumbled to take out the only two quilts from the big box by the wall and cover them for the children. After thinking about it, she took out a jacket and put them on. , Go to the kitchen and open the pottery pot that stores the firewood and charcoal that was burned on a daily basis, shovel it out, lead the pottery dustpan to open the mouth of the kang and put it in, wait for a while and see that the fire is stable before returning to the kang Lie down.

Sun Dabao and the other children slept soundly all night, only to wake up in the morning to find that it was strangely cold, Mrs. Qiao had already gotten up and fed Xiao Qi once, and Xiao Qi was wrapped in a thick quilt and slept soundly in a sling.Sun Dabao said: "Why is it so cold? It's still far from winter."

Qiao Niangzi said with worry on her face: "No, the wind is getting stronger at night, so I lighted the kang to be safe. Put a small jacket on the shirt and go out today." Turning to look at the small ones, I don't even have a decent jacket, so I'm really worried.Sun Dabao agreed, seeing that Mrs. Qiao had already boiled hot water, and frantically wiped the faces and hands of the little ones.

After everything was packed, Mrs. Qiao took out the steamed buns from the large firewood stove. Sun Dabao went to scoop up the porridge, but found that it was different from usual. Seeing his hesitation, Mrs. Qiao smiled lightly and said, "Tian'er is suddenly cold. Yes, beaten egg and ginger soup, it won't make you cold after drinking it." Sun Dabao answered naively, Xiaoer took a bowl for everyone, and Xiaosan and Xiaosi helped to serve it, and called Da Niu to eat.Daniel came in from the outside, and said with a surprised face: "The vegetable leaves are covered with frost, and there is no wind, but it is very cold."

Sun Dabao handed him the bowl, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you see the wind, we all slept soundly when the wind was strong yesterday, your mother got up in the middle of the night and burned the kang, or you'd have to wake up from the cold." He took a big gulp from the bowl and almost burned himself, and said with a smile, "Mother is just worried." Sun Dabao handed him a steamed bun, and said with a smile, "Your mother doesn't worry, you can live so comfortably!" Several people chatted and laughed. After dinner, they all tried their best to wear as thick as possible, and went to the courtyard of Zhuangtou together.

At noon, I saw the sun, but it was only a few hours, as if from winter to spring all at once.

Li Wan and the others were at Jia Mu's place. When talking about the cold wind last night, Li Wan hesitated for a while, but finally said: "It's not very hot this summer, and it's not too hot to come here before winter, I'm afraid." We need to prepare more things for winter."

Sister Feng laughed and said: "My sister-in-law, you can't wait to prepare woolen clothes in Futianli, how can you prepare more?" Then she pointed to Ping'er and said, "This hoof that is easy to follow the trend, after seeing Suyun, how many times?" I was busy turning over the sun, so I turned it upside down, and now the big hair is drying. The wind blew last night, which frightened her, and she wished I could put on all the clothes that had just dried. Fortunately, I can’t help her, or else Now I'm going to get prickly heat!"

Everyone laughed, and Mother Jia asked, "Is there enough charcoal this year? Don't look like it was last time. Fortunately, it hasn't been cold for a few days." Mrs. Wang was about to speak when Sister Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, my ancestors." Heart! Since the last time, our village has added [-]% of the charcoal this year, and it must be enough."

Mother Jia nodded.Li Wan thought to himself: "This year may not be able to wait until the year comes in." Then he said, "I just hope that this day will be better. If it is like last night, I'm afraid the road will be blocked by heavy snow." Sister Feng said: "Yesterday, there The wind is really evil, but it's not winter, so it's warm now. My sister-in-law is very serious."

Li Wan said: "The peach blossom snow last time, after all, it was spring. The earth's air is getting warmer day by day, even if the sky is against it, it won't last long. Now it is Zhongqiu, and it seems to be getting colder day by day. It was so cold yesterday. After a while, I don't feel very at ease in my heart, so allow me to worry too much."

Mother Jia thought more about it when she was old, and she felt a little worried after hearing this, so she said: "The weather has not been very good these two years, so be prepared, let this year's annual advance be delivered earlier, and the charcoal and annual use are ready." Just send it directly, you don’t have to wait for everything.” Mrs. Wang hurriedly got up and agreed.
