Chapter 73: Can you steal King Xi’s canopy tree?
"I have some here, but not much."

The shopkeeper also said that he had Mrs. Wei's regular script here, as well as Mrs. Wei's "Bi Zhen Diagram".

"Is it Mrs. Wei's original manuscript?"

"Yes." The shopkeeper was afraid that Xie Yanyan would not believe it, so he added, "My grandmother was Mrs. Wei's book companion. She has a large number of original manuscripts of Mrs. Wei and Wang Youjun. If Miss is interested, can I show them to Miss?"

Only then did Xie Yanyan know that Wang Xizhi was actually Mrs. Wei's disciple.

She nodded: "If it's authentic, I want it."

The shopkeeper felt like he had met a connoisseur and made a grievance. He immediately said to the child who was peeking at the back door: "Tell your grandmother to have people carry all the boxes collected in the backyard."

He used the word "lift" and Xie Ning became anxious.

[If there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings, I’m afraid I don’t have enough money]

[Father said that all the money earned from the soap was used to buy protective clothing for the prince. My sister must not have much money on hand]

【what to do? 】

Xie Yanyan glanced at him: "Brother, sit down and have a cup of tea. This tea is very good."

Xie Ning felt uneasy, so he picked up the cup and took a big sip. It was so hot that he almost spit out the drink.

"Don't be anxious, drink slowly."

[My sister may have other ideas, so let’s wait and see.]

Xie Ning's performance made the shopkeeper puzzled. These two kids wouldn't be out of money, right?

Soon, two large boxes were carried to the shop, and the shopkeeper took out the pictures one by one. They were well preserved and could be seen to be original manuscripts.

Mrs. Wei has many manuscripts, including ones on silk, bamboo slips, and even several pairs of hard yellow paper.

Wang Xizhi's manuscript is probably his practice draft when he studied under Mrs. Wei. It is a bit unfamiliar, not all of it is a complete work, or there is a complete work, but there are annotations by Mrs. Wei.

Xie Yanyan quietly transferred these things to the space in batches and asked the exchange panel: "Are these valuable? Can they be exchanged?"

I don’t know what the exchange panel is made of, or is it connected to some kind of headquarters at the end?
Anyway, soon, the exchange panel gave the answer.

[High value, all can be exchanged]

Then take it all!
Xie Yanyan straightened up from the box, took off his white gloves, and said calmly: "I'll take them all. How much silver is the total?"

The shopkeeper is quite honest. Even though he makes money, he still has some literary character. Moreover, most of the manuscripts written by Wang Xizhi and Mrs. Wei are unfinished drafts.

The current storage capacity is limited, so it’s best to cash out as soon as possible.

The shopkeeper finally asked for 1000 taels of silver.

This number was quite unexpected. Xie Yanyan thought he wanted at least ten thousand taels of silver.

Unexpectedly, two large boxes of manuscripts only contained 1000 taels.

He said to Xie Ning happily: "Brother, go to the back of the carriage and move the box over."

The shopkeeper was a little stunned. The money was just piled in the carriage. Aren't you afraid of being robbed?
Xie Ning went to the car to take a look, and sure enough, there was a half-sized box behind it, a box full of silver ingots, all of which were large silver ingots of 50 taels each. He didn't know how many taels there were in total.

His sister was so bold and had so much money in the car. He was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

Xie Yanyan heard his thoughts and shouted in the store: "Brother, there are 1200 taels in the box. Please take out a few silver ingots."

Xie Ning took out four silver ingots from the box and moved the rest to the shop.

After Xie Yanyan and the shopkeeper completed the transaction, all the calligraphy and paintings were moved to the car and were still piled at the back of the carriage.

After walking for a while, Xie Yanyan said, "Brother, calligraphy and painting are so rare, why are they so cheap?"

"Cheap? Not cheap!" Xie Ning said, "My sister is making money making soaps during this time because she is the only one who can make soap. Otherwise, how can it be so easy to make money? 1000 taels of silver is really a lot. I used to make money for a year My salary is only 70 taels, and my father only has 100 taels."

These are equivalent to my father's salary for 10 years, are they still cheap?

"Sister, you don't know that in the countryside, if you have 20 taels of silver, you are a small rich man."

"Really?"

"Look at Li Rong and Liu Mingjie, they are all so polite to us, and it's not because my sister's soap has made them a lot of money! During this trip, they were able to buy a luxurious house in Kyoto, and in the suburbs of Beijing It is entirely possible to buy land, buy Zhuangzi, and get promoted.”

How difficult it is for someone with a lowly status to get promoted! Generation after generation, everyone is a lowly citizen, unless they meet a noble person to help them. Even if there is a general amnesty for the whole world, it may not necessarily be on their heads.

Emperor Xuanwen was quite open-minded and stated that if his humble status could solve the urgent needs of the court, he could redeem himself and promote his status.

When there are many famines, there are many places that need money. If Liu Mingjie and the others have money, they can use it to raise their status. Xie Yanyan really didn't know this.

While the brother and sister were talking, Xie Yanyan accidentally looked up and saw a signboard - "Huangfu Rice Liang".

If she hadn't seen this sign, she would have forgotten about Huangfu's family. Recently, the exile team has not entered the town, and she has let Huangfu's rice and grain shop go several times.

"receive!"

The Huangfu family is indeed the number one grain merchant in the world. Almost every county in the Central Plains and even some lively towns have Huangfu's rice shops.

"Brother, go to the county government office and I'll bring back meals for 10 people." Don't give it up for free. Anyway, His Majesty gave her the sign, so she'll use it.

I stopped by the government office to see if the prince's token worked well.

After going to the county government office to get a meal for 10 people, the county magistrate asked the county magistrate to take her to the government lumber yard. Because Xie Yanyan wanted to start papermaking, she had to accumulate more wood.

But when she went to the lumber quarry, she happened to encounter a huge tree floating down the river from the mountain. The trees are very beautiful, with lush crowns and strange totem-like patterns on the trunks.

"What kind of tree is this?"

"Bingmei Umbrella." The county magistrate said, "This one was decided by Prince Xi and will be sent to Wanling City."

Xie Yanyan has never heard of the Bingmei Umbrella, but it must be a good thing that King Xi wants!

Do you want to grab it?
She broke off a branch and turned it into space.

"The locals call this tree the Ice Plum Umbrella. Can you see what kind of plant it is? Can you redeem it?"

After about ten minutes, there was no response from the redemption panel, and Xie Yanyan wanted to give up.

[Bingmei Umbrella, scientific name is Huagaimu, extinct]

[Strongly recommended, earn at all costs]

Xie Yanyan:! ! !

She can actually get it away at no cost.

But if she takes away King Xi’s wood, Hewan County will be in bad luck, right?
She asked the county magistrate: "Where was this big tree found?"

"In the mountains," the county magistrate said, "the tree was so big that it took dozens of carpenters day and night for half a month to cut it down, and it took several days to get it to the creek."

"Are there any big trees like this in the mountains?"

"Yes, but they are very big and difficult to cut and transport." The county magistrate sounded the alarm. This girl holds the prince's token. Doesn't she also want the ice plum umbrella?
Noble people would never give money for trees. Since the discovery of Huagaimu, their county government has become more and more miserable.

"Please, sir, take me to the mountains for a look." Xie Yanyan handed the five taels of silver to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate happily accepted the reward and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I will take you to see it."

  Miss Sister

  ***
  I have a white budgerigar. When I code every day, it sits on my shoulder and watches me code. I have never taught it how to speak, but it has learned how to speak without any teacher. It even laughs. Exactly the same.

  *come to a small theater*
  Xiaobao: Mom

  Me: Huh?
  Xiaobao: The baby is so beautiful wearing a gold bracelet

  Me: "My sister is wearing a gold bracelet, she is so beautiful"

  Xiaobao (tilts head and looks at me, silent for a moment): The baby is so cute! !

  Haha, it's very cute.

  *
  Years ago, I followed the trend and went to the north to make "little potatoes". I was afraid that the little baby would freeze to death and die from the bumps, so I didn't take it with me. There was enough water and food in the house, and the cage was specially opened to let it run around.

  On the way to travel, I kept thinking about whether it would be depressed if I couldn't see anyone for a long time.

  Yesterday when I got home, it saw me and didn't speak for a long time. It squatted in the corner and looked at me. Suddenly my heart started to twist: Are you really depressed?
  I called it for a while, and then it climbed up my shoulders with its legs and legs. I was drinking water, and it jumped to the mouth of my cup, drank big gulps of water, and after drinking, took a bath in the cup! Yes, I gave it a glass of water.

  After I was full, it said something, and I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt——

  "What's going on?"
