Chapter 297 As soon as the saint comes out, the Xu family is stable!
In a small courtyard in Prince Yu's Mansion, Xu Dongsheng and Xu Dongping were drinking tea.
The two brothers came from each other.
The third brother Xu Dongping took Du Lifeng's guards to the carriage and rushed to the Imperial Palace because of the sweet potatoes that Liu Mingqi wanted.
The second son Xu Dongsheng was slower, and it took two or three days to arrive.
"What are you busy with in the past few days? I can only meet you during dinner when I come here." Xu Dongsheng asked his younger brother.
"Don't you know?" Xu Dongping smiled, "Ming Qi is going to take a concubine."
"oh?"
Xu Dongsheng became interested, "Who? Has he finally got it?"
Xu Dongping said: "You know Xiao Suqin, one of the nine opera immortals you visited in our house last time."
"She."
Xu Dongsheng nodded, "He looks beautiful and clean. However, being able to enter Prince Yu's Mansion is considered to be a blessing in her three lives!"
Xu Dongping frowned, "Brother, you can't say that. Mingqi likes it. That's Mingqi's own business. How embarrassing is you talking about your identity here if you are heard?"
Xu Dongsheng looked around and found that the servants were all in the distance. He smiled and said, "I'm telling you too, I'm definitely not saying that. If you want to say that Xiao Suqin's life is really good. Marrying Mingqi now is a completely different concept than marrying a few months ago."
"Haha, yes!"
Xu Dongping nodded with a smile.
Liu Mingqi is now a saint, not just a prince.
Compared with the saints, the identity of the prince is not of the same level as that of the saints.
Originally, Capturing Haibo was a nobleman, and he had no reputation except doing some business, but it changed completely because of Liu Mingqi.
The "Encouragement of Learning" read by King Shou at the New Year's banquet in the palace was spread to Jiangnan in just five days, and then spread rapidly at an explosive speed.
The literary style of Jiangnan is already very popular, and literati and students are even more excited than those in the Imperial Palace. Every day, you can see people reciting "Encouraging Learning" and discussing it in groups of three or five.
The more they discussed, the more excited and worshiped them, just to the point where they could not help themselves.
Liu Mingqi is far away in the capital, and they can't worship him, but Liu Mingqi's grandparents are there, and visiting the elders of the saints is also a way to express respect.
Before the two brothers set out from Jiangnan in late January, the Xu Mansion of Haibo was already crowded with literati students who came to visit.
Needless to say, ordinary children are very common, juren.
Even Jing Ruisi, the number one talent in Jiangnan, came here in person to visit the saint's grandparents.
Even Gong Yuan, the most arrogant talent in Jiangnan, sighed when talking about "Encouraging Learning", "I can't write it, and others can't write it. Only Prince Yu, who 'sacrificed his life for righteousness', can write it out. This is a gift from heaven!"
Although the two brothers are literate and read, this is the first time they have seen such a crazy scene.
Even his uncle Xu Dongsheng, who had some objections to Liu Mingqi before, was completely convinced. He felt restrained when he saw his nephew.
Only my uncle Xu Dongping is the same as before, laughing and joking, which makes Xu Dongsheng admire him very much.
...
"Did Mingqi's concubine go with his birthday?" Xu Dongsheng asked again, "It's just right, let's help with it, so as not to say that there is no one in our sister's family."
"My sister wants to celebrate the birthday party for Mingqi, but there is no hurry to take a concubine." Xu Dongping said: "Mingqi said that she just got engaged first, and she may have to wait until she is eighteen next year before marrying Xiao Suqin."
"Ah? Why?"
"He said he was not in a hurry."
"Um……"
Xu Dongsheng frowned and whispered: "Mingqi shouldn't like...I like Master Tu Er?"
The rich children in Jiangnan like to do this very much, and Xu Dong was afraid that his nephew would become like this.
No matter how powerful the aura of a saint is, as long as you have such an abnormal hobby, it will cause serious damage.
"No." Xu Dongping smiled, "He is still normal. I asked him privately. He said that he was young and was not suitable for contact with women. He should exercise well before talking about it. It is suitable for the age of eighteen."
"There is such a thing?" Xu Dongsheng then realized, "No one of the girls in the mansion moved?"
Xu Dongping said in the first sentence: "Well, Ming Qi is really amazing. When he was a teenager, he could resist the temptation of women. No wonder he could become a saint."
Xu Dongsheng also agrees with this statement.
In this era, there were no TVs, computers, and mobile phones. There were not many things that wealthy children could play.
So as long as there are conditions, who doesn’t start to taste the taste of a woman at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and marry and take concubines at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and live a ridiculous life?
"I won't talk about this." Xu Dongping said, "I went to find Mingqi today and asked about the supply of our Xu family."
"What did he say?"
Xu Dongsheng suddenly felt energetic.
This time he rushed to the capital in person not specifically to pray for Liu Mingqi, but to the goods of Prince Yu’s mansion that had been interrupted for almost two months.
It started to snow in the Imperial Capital in late November, so the goods from Prince Yu's Mansion were not sent out.
Next came Blizzard in Anhui and Jiangxi, which made transportation even more difficult. Therefore, Prince Yu's Mansion has only shipped nearby and hardly walked out.
This is awesome.
The Xu family's inventory during the Spring Festival was sold cleanly and could not be replenished, and the shelves were empty.
Faced with the urging of new and old customers, he had to come to Beijing to see if he could get a batch of goods back and sell them first.
It just so happened that after Liu Mingqi's birthday, it was late February and early March. At that time, the canal transportation had begun to gradually recover and could get home in half a month, which was very convenient.
Xu Dongping said: "Mingqi said, what we want, we must provide as much as possible here."
"OK!"
Xu Dongsheng laughed, "That's good... By the way, can we get 10,000 pounds of big white rabbit milk candy back?"
"Brother, do you have some common sense?" Xu Dongping gave him a blank look, "No one sold separately in the capital, but they are sold for those who buy flower essential oil. The demand here is not met. How could it be for us to have 10,000 kilograms?"
Xu Dongsheng smiled embarrassedly: "How much can he give?"
Xu Dongping said: "I don't know, but I guess it's okay to get a thousand bags back first."
"One thousand bag is only 200 kilograms." Xu Dongsheng said, "Or what if it's just one thousand kilograms?"
"I don't have the final say in this, it depends on the situation."
"Where is the sugar?"
"You can have more sugar, Mingqi said to take 100,000 kilograms back and try it."
Xu Dongsheng said in confusion: "Scared! Why did you suddenly become so generous? Isn't Big White Rabbit milk candy made of sugar and milk? Why is the yields of the two so big?"
Xu Dongping explained: "I heard that it is because there are not enough buffaloes, and the capital is like our Jiangnan, with milk tea, double-skin milk and other foods popular, so we also snatched the raw materials from the White Rabbit milk candy."
"Oh! I really wish I could raise ten thousand buffaloes!"
Xu Dongsheng looked dissatisfied.
Although white sugar has caused a rush to buy in Jiangnan, it is far inferior to Big White Rabbit milk candy in terms of Big White.
Nowadays, few people in Jiangnan can eat the White Rabbit milk candy. They heard that few people can eat the same thing in the capital.
It is said that at this year's Spring Festival banquet, a salt merchant set up twenty tables, each of which was a bag of big white rabbit milk candy, which also triggered a fight.
They are all decent ladies fighting, and you can tell how scary it is.
People in Jiangnan are rich!
Things that even money can’t buy, do you think those rich people will be moved?
But the Xu family is the in-laws of Prince Yu's mansion and the general agent of Prince Yu's mansion in Jiangnan. Even they don't even have the White Rabbit milk candy, which of course made the customers scold them.
Xu Dongsheng came here this time, in addition to urging the goods, there was also part of the reason for avoiding this group of people to avoid being scolded.
Seeing his second brother like this, Xu Dongping smiled unconsciously: "Brother, don't worry, as long as our sister is here and Mingqi is here, our family is stable in Jiangnan. You can't buy the big white rabbit milk candy, who else can buy the goods back? They can't escape, they all have to pay us obediently."
"I also know, but I just feel itchy and can't make money. This is awkward." Xu Dongsheng said, "But last year, I didn't expect that my sister could suddenly grow to this level!"
"What I didn't even think of is Mingqi, right?"
"Of course! Can you think of him soaring into the sky?"
"I can't imagine." Xu Dongping shook his head, "I'm optimistic about him, but he is in his talent in doing business. I didn't expect that he has such high attainments in academic research... Brother, this is God who wants our Xu family to be developed!"
Xu Dongsheng nodded seriously, "Yes! We must not miss the opportunity, it depends on you in this regard."
He knew that Liu Mingqi liked his uncle more, so he did not look shy and pleased him.
Xu Dongping and him are family, and everyone is valued by Liu Mingqi. Anyway, their parents are still there, and the Xu family will not separate for the time being.
Xu Dongping smiled and said, "Now you won't say that I'm just messing around with him to pick up the golden gourd, right?"
"Whatever he doesn't know is right!" Xu Dongsheng immediately admitted his mistake, "You can do these things at will in the future. Even if you spend more energy and money, it doesn't matter. As long as he is happy, we will be fine."
Xu Dongping wanted to speak but stopped.
It seems that my second brother has not changed his mindset.
As soon as Jin Gua arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion, Ming Qi immediately arranged for people to guard every day, and he himself went to take care of him every day. Is this a playful thing?
A new saint, who is so serious about playing things?
At first glance, you can tell that Mingqi must be useful with golden gourds.
Oh, no, he has changed his name to Sweet Potato.
Although it is still unknown what functions does sweet potato have or what it can be used for.
But Xu Dongping would never underestimate it.
