The business of the barbecue shop is in full swing, and the decoration of several shops next door is on track.

Jolya's plan is to turn the two street stores into modern glass showcases.The shop at the corner is very small, just right for a milk tea shop.

The milk tea shop is connected to the next door, you can order food in the shop, or you can order drinks at the window at the corner.

All in all, the glass still needs to consider where to install it, and how to install it is safer.

What Jorya looked at was tempered glass, which is not easy to break.

At the same time, an object called a clock appeared in the circle of wealthy businessmen in Lin'an City, and many nobles wanted to see it.

It is said that the purpose of the clock is to tell the time, and it can be carried with you.

The rich businessman who owns clocks and watches is a well-known rich man in Lin'an City, Shen Cai. It is no exaggeration to describe his net worth as rich as an enemy country.Rumor has it that gold is everywhere in the Shen family, the floor tiles in the house are all made of gold, and the sheets and bedding are all brocade and silk, which is even more luxurious than the imperial palace.

Shen Cai was able to get the wall clock, naturally it was the people from Zhong Heming's side who made efforts to hang him on purpose so that he could get the wall clock.

The reason why the wall clock was sold to Shen Cai was because of his status as the richest man in the two Zhejiang provinces, and he was like a living sign.

Sure enough, Shen Cai couldn't put it down for owning the wall clock at first, and after playing with it at home for a few days, he finally couldn't help entertaining guests and friends to show off.

The guests invited by him are all rich and powerful local gentry, whose families are rich and powerful, but they have never seen such exquisite and exquisite objects.

"If you hang this thing in the carriage, why worry about traveling far away!"

Everyone was flattering, but they were envious of Shen Cai's luck in their hearts, why did he meet all the good things.But they forgot one thing, it is precisely because Shen Cai is rich that he can do whatever he wants.

Someone guessed: "This object came from the West."

Shen Cai held the teapot in a meaningful way: "No, this is our own."

Everyone was even more curious. Before they could ask, someone suddenly interrupted loudly: "Master Shen, our Zeng family wants to do business with you."

Everyone glared at him immediately, this Zeng family is too arrogant, they clearly don't want them to know the reason, and then monopolize it by themselves.

Their Zeng family was lucky enough to become an imperial merchant, and they had some relationship with the prince in the palace, so everyone looked down on them.

Shen Cai put away his smile: "If you want to do business, let someone who can make the decisions. What are you?"

This person is the steward of a side branch of the Zeng family, and he didn't come here this time with an invitation card, he was taking someone else's invitation card to attend the banquet.

Since the Zeng family became an imperial merchant, they have been collecting exquisite objects from all over the country and sending them to the palace.As long as His Majesty can be pleased, the chances of the fifth prince being crowned prince will be more certain.

The steward just slapped the invitation card when he heard about the wall clock. The head of the Zeng family is now in the capital, so he couldn't help but stop it.If this wall clock could be bought everywhere, it would be impossible to present it to His Majesty to claim credit.

The steward didn't expect Shen Cai to be so disrespectful, but he was just a businessman with a stinky smell, how dare he go against the Zeng family.

What the steward didn't know was that the emperor in the capital had already seen the wall clock first.

Zhong Heming looked unreliable on the surface, but he was very thoughtful in his work.

The first wall clock was sold to Shen Cai to help them open up business routes.The second one was sent to the capital, not to the emperor, but to the prince and Taifu.

The Prince Taifu was Xiao Jinyou's teacher. When Xiao Jinyou was demoted, he tried his best to persuade His Majesty to withdraw his order.However, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable. In the end, the Taifu can only let his favorite student take care of his body. The future will be long, as long as he is alive, he will still have a chance.

Zhong Heming gave the wall clock to the Taifu in order to let His Majesty see the wall clock through the Taifu.In the future, if the fifth prince wants to compete for favor, he will only leave the impression of being a liar in front of the emperor. Maybe the Zeng family will be pulled out to take the blame for the fifth prince.

The reason why he thought this way was because no matter which prince presented the wall clock, it would make the Emperor's Sacred Heart very happy.But if Xiao Jinyou sent the wall clock to the palace, he would probably only get a compliment, not even a reward.

Therefore, after the two discussed, they decided to hand over the things to the Taifu.People are like this, the more they take the initiative to approach you, the more he will ignore you; when you neglect him, he will remember you again.

Recently, Taifu's family got a magical object called a wall clock.You can tell the time without telling it, and tell the time on time.

Emperor Yongning was curious when he heard about it, so he made a private visit after taking advantage of his low service.

The Taifu knew the student's plan well. Not only did he not get angry at being used, but he felt that the Prince had finally figured it out.

When he was the prince's lecturer back then, the prince was smart and reasonable and didn't need him to worry about it. The only thing that worried him was his temper of not fighting or grabbing.

It is probably because the prince's road is too smooth, the relationship between the prince and his majesty has become a monarch and minister, and the relationship with his brothers is lukewarm.

However, His Majesty is in the prime of life, and there are countless princes under him, and the position of the prince is highly variable. In the end, what he worried about came true.

For the public, the prince is the future monarch of a country, and he can take on great responsibilities; for the private, he is his student, and he hopes that his students will live better.What's more, his wife and the former empress were still good friends in the boudoir before they left the court, and the prince was regarded as the child he grew up with.

His Majesty personally visited the Tai Tuo's mansion privately, which surprised the Tai Tuo secretly.He didn't dare to speculate on the holy will without authorization, so he could only greet him with a smile.

"Aiqing is free of courtesy. I heard that Aiqing has a treasure, so I came here specially to see it."

Taifu walked in front to lead the way for His Majesty.

"This object is a clock, which is used to check the time. It will chime when it is on time. There are still 5 minutes until 14 o'clock, and the clock will ring."

Emperor Yongning smiled and said, "What time is this 14 o'clock?"

The Taifu took the initiative to explain: "14 o'clock is the four quarters of the hour, one circle of the clock is the hour of the whole day, and a day is 24 hours."

These are all the explanations that the crown prince wrote down to him in the letter, and the crown prince read it once and kept it in his heart.

Emperor Yongning's eyes were hot, but he still put on the emperor's airs: "It's a good thing, I don't know where the master came from."

"I am incompetent, this thing was found by a student for the old minister. He said that he was worried that the old minister would get up early, so he sent this thing so that the old minister could catch up with the morning court on time every day." It is good to have a sensible student!

If Qiaoelya were here, she would definitely sympathize with the Tai Tuo who was still early.The morning court hours in the Ning Dynasty were the same as those in the Song Dynasty, from three to five in the morning, from the emperor to the courtiers, and people did not go to the morning court until five in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Emperor Yongning had a smile on his lips, but he couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.The unfilial son who was assigned to the frontier did not send the good things to the palace at the first time, but gave them to the Taifu. Who is his father?

"I think your item is not bad, let me have a look at it for a few days." The item sent back by King An should have belonged to him.

The Taifu knew that he might not come back, but his goal had been achieved, so he resisted the pain and asked someone to take the clock off the wall.

At this time, the wall clock made a sound of "Dang Dang Dang" to tell the time, and Emperor Yongning was even more satisfied.

Emperor Yongning left after staying in Taifu's mansion for a short time, and he still brought one item with him when he returned.

Everyone in the capital laughed at the Taifu behind his back for losing his wife and losing his army.Let him be frightened all day long, and the treasure he got will be taken away by His Majesty.

Although His Majesty gave a reward, that bit of gold, silver and jewelry is not worth the exquisite wall clock.

When Qiorya learned that they actually gave the emperor a clock, she suddenly felt bad.

She held back her helplessness: "Do you know that there is another meaning of giving a clock and watch, which is to send it to the end."

Zhong Heming was puzzled: "What's the meaning of this?" The rich merchants in Lin'an City were all asking about clocks and watches.Not long after, he released rumors suggesting that the clocks and watches were shipped from Qiongzhou Prefecture, so as to build momentum that Qiongzhou Prefecture could go to sea.

Qiaoerya explained: "The homonym, you actually gave it to the emperor, what if the meaning is misinterpreted by someone with a heart?"

Xiao Jinyou comforted her: "As a son, he naturally wants to support his father until his death. I believe he will not misunderstand his son's wholeheartedness." When he said this, his emotions did not fluctuate, as if the father in his mouth was just a title.

Qiaoelya thought of the bad things about him, and it was normal to have no expectation of fatherly love.

"You just have to be prepared in advance. Another point, since it is a gift, then give another gift to the Taifu. Even if he guesses your plan and is willing to cooperate, he is also your teacher. A teacher is a father forever."

Zhong Heming immediately covered his wrist: "My watch cannot be taken away. Without it, I will lose my life!"

Xiao Jinyou said helplessly: "Uncle, it's not that serious. You came up with the idea. You give us some gold and silver jewelry or famous calligraphy and paintings, and Ms. Qiao and I can bring back more watches."

Zhong Heming was dubious: "I have a lot of jewelry, but I don't bring too much gold."

Qiaoerya looked at Xiao Jinyou's uncle's jewelry without feeling guilty.Who let it be Zhong Heming's idea, the Tai Tuo's help is out of the relationship between teachers and students, and the Tai Tuo can't always let the Tai Tuo help them for free.

But Qiorya didn't expect that later they had close contacts with the Taifu, and every time the good things they gave to the Taifu were "shunned" away by the emperor.

Xiao Jinyou told his uncle that he might not come back tomorrow, and asked him to help take care of the business in the store. Zhong Heming patted his chest and promised that the business of the barbecue restaurant would be more prosperous on the opening day.

Qiaoelya and Xiao Jinyou returned to modern times with a large bag of jewels.

Surprisingly, the place where I came back was on the Babu bed in my hometown. It seems that if I go back to live in the city in the future, I will have to move this bed too.

Her car was still in the provincial capital, so Qiaoelya could only go to the village to borrow a small electric donkey.

She called her parents and said that she had returned to her hometown, and then heard a very outrageous news.

"You bought a car! Give it to Xiao Jinyou? But he doesn't even have a driver's license!"

Her parents felt that the meeting gift from Xiao Jinyou was too precious, so they bought a car worth 200 million yuan when they went shopping yesterday and wanted to give it to Xiao Jinyou.

Qiaoelya let her parents pay 50 pocket money for the car down payment.There are still more than 80 yuan in savings at home, and my parents said on the phone to pay it back slowly.Her breakfast shop has been in business for more than ten years, with a monthly turnover of 3 yuan and a net income of more than [-] yuan, which will be paid off in a short time.

Qiaoelya got dizzy when he heard it: "There's no rush for this matter, he doesn't even have a driver's license, I'll take him to a driving school to sign up for a chance."

It was only after she hung up the phone that she realized that she forgot to talk about business, but it wasn't very important.That is to say, Xiao Jinyou picked a meeting gift for her mother again. This time it was not as exaggerated as two hundred million yuan, and it would only be a few million in RMB.

Xiao Jinyou put away the [-] million bracelet Qiaoerya, such a valuable thing can be used as a family heirloom, even if she wears it on her hand, she has to be careful, she is afraid of bumping it.

This time I went out to order glass. All the windows in the palace had been measured. Qiaoelya knew that there was a glass factory in the town. If possible, she would like to build a glass greenhouse in the palace and use tempered glass for the walls.

There are a lot of things to buy this time, Qiaoer Ya specially took Xiao Jinyou to identify the way and look at the navigation.

"When you learn to recognize the way, we will be able to divide the work and cooperate next time."

Although the information is advanced now, she is afraid that Xiao Jinyou will not answer the phone or that the phone is out of battery.

Going to the glass factory to order glass, Qiaoelya added money to speed up the progress. She asked for a large quantity, and the factory made an appointment to deliver it to her home tomorrow.

The two went to the city to sell things again. Among them, two hairpins and necklaces were accepted by the owner of the antique shop, Lao Yu, and sold for 500 million.Lao Yu suggested that the remaining items should be handed over to the auction house for auction. Most people can't afford this price.

Qiaoerya asked Xiao Jinyou what he meant, and Xiao Jinyou decided to sell them together.

Xiao Jinyou said in a low voice: "They are all worthless items, taking them back is a waste of space."

Old Yu felt distressed when he heard it from the sidelines, what kind of family is this? Antiques still take up space at home!
Under Lao Yu's introduction, Qiaoelya and Xiao Jinyou went to the auction house.

Qiaoelya quietly observed: "This is the first time I have come to this kind of place. I have only seen it in novels before, and I think it is very advanced."

Lao Yu laughed and said, "Art comes from life, but you're going to be disappointed. They're all a bunch of guys with a lot of bad money in their hands, and they look down on people with their eyes above their heads."

Qiaoelya murmured in her heart, it seems that Lao Yu's family is not short of money if he can say that.

Lao Yu led the way: "There will be a charity auction in the evening, and it's time for the rich to put on a show."

"Hey, come here, these are the guests I brought, they have something to auction, let your manager come out."

Qiaoelya looked at the people who were always in command of the auction house, just like going back to her own home.

Following the principle of "see no evil, do not speak evil", she stared straight at the screen in the lobby to see more of the world.

Lao Yu strolled over to her side: "This screen is from the Qing Dynasty, and it is quite well preserved. It was auctioned for more than 40 billion at that time."

Qiaoelya weighed it in her heart, this screen did not look as delicate as the screen in Shu Niang's piano room.

The lobby manager came quickly: "Mr. Yu, is this your guest?"

Lao Yu waved his hand: "Yes, I will show them a way, you can talk about it." After speaking, he casually found a sofa and sat down.

When the manager first saw the handsome men and women in front of him, he thought it was a celebrity who wanted to participate in the auction.

"The two of you, please."

The manager brought the man to the office, and Xiao Jinyou took things out of the windbreaker pocket like throwing trash.

He said succinctly: "These things are all auctioned."

Qiaoerya sat on the side and didn't speak. The auction house was a business that neither of them had contact with, but Xiao Jinyou had a princely aura, so he didn't look like an ordinary person.

The manager was taken aback by Xiao Jinyou's actions, what if it breaks!
"Please wait a moment, our appraiser will be here soon." In fact, you don't need an appraisal to know that these are real antiques, after all, they are Lao Yu's guests.

The appraiser came in a hurry, and before he had time to say hello, he saw the antiques on the table, and his eyes became fanatical.

"If I'm not mistaken, these are all jewelry from the Song Dynasty. They are so well preserved. First of all, burial objects are excluded. Every owner of the jewelry must love it so much that it can be protected like this."
