Chapter 246

Since it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the gift-giving link is always inevitable.

But this is not someone's birthday, so the gifts from the girls are not too expensive.

In ancient festivals, you either don’t give it away, and if you give it away, all the elders have to give it away. It’s too expensive and no one can afford it.

Or, reluctant to...

In other families, there are couples with children, kowtow to the old men and old ladies in the hall, and the whole family is lively.

But Chen Buer is not an authentic son-in-law. As a girl who has not left the cabinet, it is impossible for Pan Mingyue to kneel down with her fiancé. According to the etiquette system, she just followed behind her parents and watched Chen Buer's one-man show.

So when she saw Chen Buer's embarrassed, helpless, and weak face, she felt a kind of teasing joy in her heart.

When it was Chen Buer's ninth turn to salute, Pan Chuanyue was the first to jump out:
"Seventh Young Master, what kind of gift are you giving? This is the first time for the new young master to participate in the Pan family's Guining, so he has to perform well. The gift is too light to do~~~~"

These words meant to put Chen Buer on the fire.

Although gifts from other people's families are not particularly expensive, they are worth several hundred taels, or even thousands of taels.

But everyone now believes that after the Chen family ransacked the house, they are already in a state of debt all over the world, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to eat. If they really want to give gifts, what good things can they give?
Pan Chuanyue's words consciously wanted Chen Buer to make a fool of herself.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. This has nothing to do with family education. Whether people are inherently good or inherently evil, there has been no conclusion for thousands of years.

Chen Buer scratched his head now, he didn't know what the mother had prepared for him.

Because this is a family gathering, it is not a formal gift giving, so there is not even a gift list. How can Chen Buer know what is in the box?
The style of ancient people is different from that of modern people. Westerners will open gifts on the spot, and then, no matter if they are sincere or not, they will pretend to be very surprised with an exaggerated expression.

In ancient times, if you opened a gift in front of a guest, it was extremely rude, and you would not be laughed at to death.

But others are a problem, is Chen Buer a problem?

"Second Sister, I really prepared a gift for my grandparents, uncles and aunts, wait for me, Brother Pan, take a few servants and follow me to the carriage to pick it up."

Chen Buer ran out quickly, followed by Pan Mingguang and a few servants. After a while, boxes of gifts were brought in.

Pan Chuanyue looked at it and snorted softly. Isn't the bigger the gift, the better?It depends on how expensive you are.

So she walked over casually, quietly opened one of the boxes, and then stared dumbfounded.

Seeing her stunned, the other sisters couldn't help but ran over curiously, and all of them stared at her.

I saw a lavender mink fur coat in the box. The shiny luster and the thick and fluffy hair all revealed elegance and luxury.

The Pan family members were all knowledgeable, so they heard Pan Liangyue exclaim: "This is a sable fur suit? Be good."

In ancient times, wearing a mink coat was definitely a symbol of status and wealth, and ordinary people couldn't afford to wear it. It usually started with a few hundred taels of silver.

It is said that Empress Yang has a top-quality sable fur coat worth tens of thousands of taels, and she is only willing to wear it every year when she is in court.

Unlike later generations, some people like to wear a fur coat, have a big crew cut, wear a gold necklace as thick as a dog chain around their neck, and have a tattoo of a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right, and a cigarette in their mouth.

Walking is always a horoscope, and every time you move, you just say: "What the hell are you looking at? Try looking at another one?"

It shows the arrogance of Tieling king.

Seeing all the female family members gathered around to look at the things in Chen Buer's box, old man Pan was very dissatisfied, feeling that his group of granddaughters really had no tutors.

Although Pan Mingyue was also full of curiosity, she didn't move. Among the nine sisters, she was the one who could withstand temptation the most.

At this time, Chen Buer and Pan Mingguang came in with a box, and there were already more than ten identical wooden boxes in the room.

Everyone was talking in low voices, "No way, there are fur coats inside?"

"Didn't it mean that the Chen family has no money? Where did they get so much money?"

Chen Buer didn't realize how precious the gift he gave was,
At the beginning, he was bored in Xijin Mansion, and went shopping every day to pass the time. What is there to buy in Liao Kingdom?There is almost no light industry and jewelry industry in the north, and only simple raw materials can be provided.

Don't buy it back and take a look, yes, Made in Dazhou.

In the market of Xijin Prefecture, only these mink fur coats and thousand-year-old ginseng are still attractive, and the key is that the price is not expensive.

The thousand-year-old ginseng, which he bought in Dengzhou, cost 50 taels of silver a stick, but in Xijin Mansion it only costs 5 taels, a difference of ten times.

In the Dazhou market, the mink fur coats sold for thousands of taels each cost only one or two hundred taels of silver in the country of origin in Liao.

(The problem is 100 taels of silver, which is also the income of an ordinary Bianliang person for two or three years without eating or drinking)
What Chen Buer didn't know was that the reason why the prices of goods from the north and the south in ancient times would vary so much was because of the inconvenient transportation. In addition, the Liao Kingdom was a hostile country, and Dazhou also had quota restrictions on importing goods from the Liao Kingdom.

Mink fur is a specialty in the Northeast, and there were not many sold in Dazhou, so the price was skyrocketed.

Chen Buer put down the box, opened the box with a bang, grabbed it with his greasy hands, and took out a sable fur coat, which made the Pan sisters exclaim repeatedly:
Pan Liangyue hurriedly shouted: "Ah, Mr. Chen, it's not easy to handle this fur coat like this. Your hands are dirty, and the fur is easy to pull off. You should handle it gently."

They were mocking him for his ignorance, but Chen Buer thought that he was kindly reminded, so he smiled.

"It's all right, I bought this coat from the Liao Kingdom, among other things, the warmth retention is absolutely OK, come on, a few grandparents each have a room, by the way, a few uncles and aunts, do you like it? You can choose one."

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

Both Pan Wenlong and Yu Xiufeng were in a hurry, wondering if this kid was out of his mind, and in order to save face, he actually took out so many precious fur coats?Both of them felt sorry for the money for him.

Pan Mingyue, on the other hand, was thoughtful, and looked at Chen Bu'er with more playful eyes.

She has concluded that the money Chen Bu bought second-hand is not as simple as a few hundred taels, or a few thousand taels, but at least tens of thousands of taels.

Only Pan Mingguang knows the inside story best. During his one-month trip to Dengzhou and Liao Kingdom, his brother stole a lot of gold, silver and jewels. How much are these clothes worth?

Not to mention a few pieces, it would be easy for Chen Buer to pile up a room for you.

 It was a holiday yesterday. I had so much fun that I forgot to upload it. I will add it now. Today is 5 chapters. I wish everyone a happy May Day. (yes, forgot the title)
