Chapter 291 Pen Wash(2/2)
The word "Li Wei" made Cao Yong's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around and looked over. No matter how he looked, he was a playboy, and there was no trace of a little beggar? Is it the model governor of the Yongzheng Dynasty "Li Wei", or the same name and surname?
Li Wei also noticed someone staring at him. He looked up and saw that he was the young master who had just met in the garment shop, so he nodded and greeted him.
Regardless of whether he was the governor Li Wei or not, his words and deeds just now were very fond of Cao Yong. Although he seemed to be a slut, he thought that the shopkeeper's livelihood was much better than those scholars.
Thinking of this, Cao Yong said to the shopkeeper: "I will increase the price of this inkstone by 100 taels. The shopkeeper will be able to make it easier for them to pay a hundred taels if they wash the pen over there. How about it?"
The shopkeeper also heard Li Wei's words and saw that he did not look like a close friend of the scholars, but he did not say anything about all the money around him, but he also had to pawn clothes just to fear that his job would not be guaranteed. He was very grateful. He wanted to dissuade him, but he was worried about the unfairness of the books, so he couldn't explain it in front of his boss, which was very embarrassing.
After hearing Cao Yong's words, the shopkeeper hurriedly bowed and thanked: "This relationship is good. Thank you for your kindness. I really thank you!"
After hearing this, several scholars also wanted to come around to thank him. The Sixteenth Prince looked impatient and urged Xiaoman to pay the money immediately.
After leaving the shop, the sixteenth prince nodded and said, "Although those scholars are not things, Li Wei is a character!" Speaking of this, when he remembered Cao Yong's price cut just now, he could no longer hold it in. He laughed out loud, patted Cao Yong's shoulder and said, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it! I hit me to know you, just seeing you steady and steady, everything is in my heart. It turns out that I just pretend to be a little adult, and there are still people you don't know!"
Cao Yong also smiled and said, "If I know everything, wouldn't I become a living god? I have always said that 'human hearts are not old'. Now I understand that 'trust and righteousness are priceless'. The merchants at this time are indeed worthy of respect."
The sixteenth prince disagreed and said, "Scholars, farmers, businessmen, businessmen, businessmen, and businessmen, are not despised, but they are not worth respecting. This is inappropriate. Although you treat people easily, you are an official after all, and you need to show off some airs when dealing with people. Otherwise, you will be targeted by the censor and be held off with a "frivolous" hat, and you will be upset."
Although the Sixteenth Prince's view was limited, the feudal society had been valued and suppressed by commerce for thousands of years. Cao Yong also knew that he was doing it for his own good, so he responded with a smile.
Not far from Songzhuzhai, there is a jewelry shop. The sixteenth prince brought Cao Yong to this place. It was also the pair of Dongcheng that he had booked before.
The sixteenth prince ordered Zhao Feng to pack the brocade box with red gold dotted bracelets. The one containing the white jade bracelet was smiled and said to Cao Yong: "This is my filial piety to my aunt! I knew that my aunt was going to Beijing a few days ago, so I just happened to choose a birthday gift for the old man, so I also thought of choosing some for my mother and aunt. Although the things in the palace were exquisite, they all had the words "made inside" and had to be archived. It was a lot of trouble, and it was better to save trouble outside. I just couldn't find a good one for a while, so I could only use this as filial piety!"
Cao Yong said, "It's just a thought. Even if you don't have this thing, can your mother be far away from you?"
