Chapter 343: The Four Treasures of the Study
Hearing Brother Ji say that he wanted to exchange the seven or eight pieces of unbreakable jade plates for the store's treasure, the shopkeeper immediately hesitated.
"Young Master, this cannot be exchanged just by asking for it. The proprietor is not here, so I cannot make any arbitrary decisions." The shopkeeper thought for a while, then shook his head, "If you are willing to give up this set of jade plates, I can contribute a hundred dollars."
Ten thousand taels of gold..."
Brother Ji was stunned, "Well, forget it, I won't sell it!"
"Young master, you might as well think about it carefully..."
"What do I need so much money for?" Brother Ji put the jade plate away boredly and turned to look at Yuruo, "Hey, I'll give this to you, do you want it?"
Yuruo's face suddenly froze, "What? Brother Murong, this...you said you would give this treasure to me?"
"Yeah?" Brother Ji blinked strangely, "By the way, this thing is just for your father, and it can be used as a meeting gift for me! Hehe..."
"Brother Murong, this is too precious!"
Just kidding, one million taels of gold and ten million taels of silver, even the wealthy lady of Zhezhou Commercial Bank couldn't help but feel a little "thump" in her heart.
Brother Ji waved his hand and whispered into Yu Ruo's ear, "Girl, this thing is actually not worth anything... Haha!"
"Brother, please don't make fun of Yu Ruo. If this set of jade plates is not valuable, then Yu Ruo's family's assets will not be able to detect it." Yu Ruo sighed slightly, "Brother, I'd better keep such precious things for emergencies!"
My brother is an immortal cultivator, and he plays with spirit stones! If this thing can be worth exchanging for some spirit stones, then that's okay. But... Yu Xi's wife has already said that no matter how precious things are among mortals,
It’s worthless in the hands of immortal cultivators!
"Ahem, if you don't want me, I'll give it to someone else!" Brother Ji chuckled, turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Old sir, do you have any good wooden boxes in your store? Since we have no chance to trade,
Then I’d better pack this thing and give it away as a gift!”
The shopkeeper was astonished, "My dear, this is not the way to give gifts!"
"Yes, yes, I'll go get it now, sir, miss." The shopkeeper's mood was up and down, and he ran to the back hall excitedly, took out three big boxes, and then touched and put those jade plates to good use.
It was wrapped in silk and satin, added with nanmu boards, and slowly put in.
After a while, a few ordinary-looking plates suddenly became noble.
Chicken Brother sighed in admiration. People rely on their clothes and horses rely on their saddles. Hehe, it’s very honorable to hold these boxes and give them gifts!
"Okay, Yuruo, how about giving this to your father?" Brother Ji folded the box, bundled it with brocade strips, and held it in his hand.
Yuruo didn't know what she was thinking, her face turned red with shame, her voice sounded like a mosquito, and she nodded gently.
Yuxue and Ping'er walked around the store hand in hand, brought back a bag of jewelry, placed it in front of Brother Ji, and said with a smile, "Brother Murong, this is ours!"
Hey, these two girls really don’t regard themselves as outsiders!
In desperation, Brother Chicken had to pay for the goods. Fortunately, the shopkeeper was a kind man and did not kill Brother Chicken as a fat sheep. After leaving the jade shop, Brother Chicken held three boxes in one hand and played with the handle with the other.
Xiao Jian felt quite happy.
After walking about 500 meters, the crowd walked through an alley and entered a street that was more than 30 meters wide. On this street, there were many tall houses and wealthy houses, and stone lions lined up in front of every house.
, can’t even see the end at a glance.
"Wow!" Ping'er shouted immediately.
Brother Ji was stunned for a while and gave Yu Ruo a thumbs up, "Zhezhou Commercial Bank is indeed great!"
"Hee hee, Brother Murong is overly praised. This is the Yingchun Gate. All the dignitaries of Xudu live here. If Yu Ruo's family has a little wealth, they bought a mansion here. Brother, please come here!"
Ruo led Brother Ji to the red-painted front door of a house in the middle of Yingchun Gate.
The area of Xuzhou City is very large. Compared with Dayu County, it is at least a hundred times larger. Yingchun Gate is the wealthy place of Xuzhou City. The ministers in the royal capital and many nobles from Nanyan Kingdom live here.
Got home.
Brother Ji's consciousness spread out, and the general area of Yingchun Gate was imprinted in his mind.
"Tsk, tsk, there is a radius of four to five hundred miles, and it is actually the territory of Yingchunmen. Come on, there are about forty or fifty mansions here. On average, Meow's family, I'll see... more than a dozen football fields!"
When the boy at the door saw the two ladies returning, he hurried forward to greet them without saying a word. At the same time, some sharp-eyed maids also went to the back house to report.
Brother Ji and Yuruo entered Xiao's Mansion and walked all the way through the front yard and garden for more than ten minutes before Yuruo came to a study. Where they passed, there were countless servants, servants, and maids, all of whom were respectful.
They stepped forward to salute. Yu Ruo and Yu Xue also greeted everyone warmly and did not act like they were eldest ladies in front of the servants.
Arriving outside the study, the four of them stopped.
"Dad!" Without waiting for the announcement, Yuxue ran in jumping up and down. Yuruo looked at Brother Ji with a little embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
Of course Brother Ji would not embarrass her, "Ahem, you go in first, Ping'er and I will wait at the door for a while!"
"Yes! Brother, please wait a moment." Yuruo Yingying bowed and walked into the study.
Brother Ji and Ping'er found a stone table in the yard outside the study, put the gifts on it, and sat down. Ping'er's little face was a little nervous. She had never been out of the village, let alone
I felt uneasy after seeing such a mansion.
After about ten minutes, Yuruo and Yuxue still hadn't come out, so Brother Ji became a little impatient. He stood up and walked around.
At this time, a fat young man with big head and big ears walked out of the small courtyard, followed by two young men. His face looked simple and honest, but his small eyes were "black" and looked very thief.
The fat young man was stunned when he saw Brother Chicken. Brother Chicken was also surprised. He looked this man up and down, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Hey, this man's aura seems a little weird!
So the two people stared at each other for more than ten seconds.
"Who are you?" they both said in unison.
"Holy shit, learn how to talk like me?!" Brother Ji opened his mouth and spat, "Fat man, even if my brother is handsome, you can't look at me like that!"
"You're the fat man!" The fat man stared at Brother Chicken curiously. Everyone in the yard knew him, and no one dared to be disrespectful to him. And this man didn't seem to be a servant, he should be a visiting scholar!
Brother Ji chuckled and said, "Fat man, I see you are a talented person. What are you doing here so thiefly?"
"Hehe! Have you noticed how talented I am?" The fat young man smiled wildly, and suddenly his face changed, "You are the one who is so mean! I want to know if my two cousins have come back when I came to visit my uncle.
?Hey, I won’t tell you the purpose of my trip!”
Brother Chicken suddenly opened his mouth, holy shit... is this guy a fool? He finished the first sentence and actually added the sentence "Don't tell me" at the end. I have to... let him down! However, this guy is full of aura.
Those with spiritual roots, tsk tsk, there is a future!
"Fat man, isn't your cousin pretty?" Brother Ji suddenly laughed lewdly, stroking his hands and walking to the fat man's side, "How about introducing her to me?"
Fat Wei was startled for a moment, and then started laughing, "My cousin is naturally pretty, hehe, I can introduce it to you, but they are too familiar with me!"
"Well, isn't she your cousin?"
"Brother, you don't know, I only saw my cousin at the family dinner last year. One of them is pure and sweet, and the other is quirky. They are really two extremes, amazing! No...my dad's name is exactly the same.
I came to Xuzhou City to do some work, so I stopped by to take a look!"
"That's it!" Brother Ji suddenly realized, "Well, what's your cousin's name?"
"Xiao Yuruo, Xiao Yuxue!"
"Wow, it turns out they are Miss Yu Ruo and Yu Xue! Tsk tsk, brothers are so lucky to have such two stunning beauties as cousins!"
"Haha, you are so lucky! Who are you, that little sister? Hehe, you are so cute!"
"That's my sister, how about I introduce her to you?"
"Okay! Well, brother, how about I treat you tonight and let's go to Xuzhou City for a walk? There are so many interesting places in Xuzhou City. I just got here yesterday and haven't visited much!"
"Okay. By the way, Murong Qi, I wonder what your name is, brother?"
"My name is Luo Zhongchao, hey, I've met Brother Murong!"
"Brother Luo, haha!"
Brother Ji always answered all his questions, and the fat young man didn't hide anything. First, he saw that Brother Ji was from the same profession, and his words were quite pleasant. The two of them had the same temperament, and they started to call each other brothers after just a few words.
However, although this fat young man is cunning and cunning, he seems to have a low IQ and is simple and honest. He didn't hear the tone of Brother Chicken's words at all.
Obviously, Brother Ji approached this fat young man with a purpose.
Young Master Luo has never practiced Kung Fu. To put it bluntly, he is still an underdeveloped wolf. In the world of immortal cultivation, Brother Chicken has no helpers. If this Young Master Luo can become more powerful under Brother Chicken's leadership, I believe he will be better in one and a half years.
In the subsequent "Taoyuan Festival", Brother Ji will have some confidence.
Fatty Luo shouted away the boy and squatted on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard with Brother Ji, talking nonsense.
After communicating with this fat young man for a while, Brother Ji got a rough idea of his temperament. In fact, this fat young man is quite honest. Unfortunately, he is fat and has a cowardly character, which makes him very unsatisfactory in his family.
He was well-received, and many younger generations disliked him.
Therefore, he had no choice but to go out and hang out often. It didn't matter, but it made everyone hate him. His father had no choice but to give him an property in Xuzhou City to take care of.
He is far away from the family. It is really bad for the eldest son of the family to get into this situation.
No, on the second day after arriving in Xuzhou City, he met Brother Ji. It had to be said that Fatty Luo was destined to decline in his life.
