"This...is this done by Fu Xiaoguan?" Zhang Wenhan stood up suddenly, but did not shake the folding fan in his hand.
Liu Jingxing had finished reciting the two poems, and there was silence for a few breaths.
"Young Master Zhang, you don't believe it anymore?" Dong Shulan smiled lightly and said: "On the fifth night of May, Fu Xiaoguan composed it in the Xishan Villa in Xiancun... I remember that Young Master Zhang also composed a song on the fifth day of May. "Qing Ping Le" was praised by the public at that time and was rated as the first poem of the Dragon Boat Festival. The young lady is aware of Mr. Zhang's literary talent. How about Mr. Zhang commenting on Fu Xiaoguan's "Traveling to the South"?
A smile gradually appeared on Zhang Wenhan's face, he waved the folding fan in his hand, and said: "How dare I not believe what Miss understands, but... Mr. Fu's behavior before was indeed a bit absurd, and he has never written a poem. I just feel that it is very strange." I'm surprised. Fu Xiaoguan sighed to himself and didn't dare to comment. It seems that Fu Xiaoguan has changed a lot, but his ears and eyes are blocked."
Liu Jingxing was naturally dissatisfied. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhang Wenhan wave his hand: "Linjiang Talent, I should be as good as Fu Xiaoguan. Based on these two poems, I admire you very much. It's a pity that I will have to do it tomorrow." When I set off to Beijing, I missed the opportunity to consult Mr. Fu... Brother Jing Xing will be close to Mr. Fu from now on. If you get Mr. Fu's masterpieces, don't forget to write them to your brother and share them together."
Liu Jingxing was silent for two breaths and replied: "That's how it should be."
The two sat down. Most of the people here were businessmen. Although they were involved in poetry, they were not proficient in poetry. At this moment, what Zhang Wenhan said--this meant that Fu Xiaoguan's poetry was even better than Zhang Wenhan's.
Some people looked at each other, but Yang Yishan, the boss of the grain merchant Yang Ji, burst out laughing, "The head of the Fu family often interacts with me, and the most distressing thing he always talks about is his son Fu Xiaoguan. Now it seems that this boy from the Fu family has a future. Well, this is a good thing. Among the four great talents in Linjiang, Mr. Zhang is going to Beijing to take the imperial examination and win the title of No. 1 Scholar in the Jinluan Hall. After that, he will spread his wings and live in the temple. There are only three great talents in Linjiang. Now, since the young master of the Fu family Having this kind of literary talent just fills the gap, and it also shows that the literary style of Linjiang is flourishing and the people are outstanding.”
"What Lao Yang said makes sense. If Miss Dong hadn't come up with these two poems today, I wouldn't have known about it. Come on, come on, let me add another talented person to drink this cup in Linjiang!"
The speaker was Fan Kui, the head of the grain merchant Fan Ji. At this moment, Fan Kui raised his glass, and everyone praised him and drank together.
Zhang Wenhan felt that this glass of wine was worse than poison, but the smile on his face remained and there was not a drop of wine left in the glass.
"These two poems are Mr. Fu's famous works and should be spread all over the world. After I leave, can Jing Xing give these two poems to Miss Fan Duoer from Yihonglou - her music can be said to be Linjiang A unique song, sung by her, will not disgrace Mr. Fu's talent," Zhang Wenhan said to Liu Jingxing like a spring breeze.
Liu Jingxing was doubtful, but still nodded in agreement.
As a result, these two poems spread like this, and Fu Xiaoguan's reputation as a talented scholar also spread like this.
Of course, Fu Xiaoguan at this moment did not know that Dong Shulan in Linjiang Tower had thrown out two of his poems to clear his name.
……
A big house, an old banyan tree, and a new lounge chair.
Fu Xiaoguan was lying on the couch, Chunxiu was fanning him next to him, and he was holding a brochure in his hand - it was a piece of property from his family, and he had not yet finished reading it.
"Xiu'er, water."
Chunxiu handed the warm tea to his hand.
"Xiuer, hot."
Chunxiu went to get ice cubes and watermelon, made a bowl of iced watermelon and brought it over.
"Xiu'er..."
"Yeah."
"From now on, I will make three bowls of this thing, you, me, him - he will appear and disappear. Only when we eat together will it taste better."
"Master..."
"You must listen to what the young master says."
"Oh."
Fu Xiaoguan thinks that statement makes sense: from frugality to luxury.
He felt that he was corrupt, but this life was really comfortable.
In a short period of time, he has changed the life inertia of his previous life, gradually changed his personality, and began to integrate into the world, working hard to play the role of a landlord's young master.
Of course, he still does things like dressing, washing, brushing his teeth and bathing himself, but he is becoming more and more refined in his life.
As he learned more about those pamphlets, he understood more and more what it meant to be wealthy.
Money... can make you live a more comfortable life, so of course you have to spend it.
Wouldn’t it be very boring to live another life as a miser like Grandet?
"Xiu'er... I'll find you seven or eight maids when you have time. If they are good at cooking, take care of them. If you have a few servants, take it easy."
"This..."
"Also, young master, I will have a lot of property in the future. I need to find some beautiful and versatile women... There is no rush. You can take your time to look for them. If they are willing, you can bring them to me for a look."
"Master..."
Fu Xiaoguan waved his hand, "It's serious business, don't think about it."
"I have no wild thoughts, this versatile and beautiful woman... is either a lady of the world, or I'm afraid I can only go to a brothel to find her."
Fu Xiaoguan was stunned: "Well...that's it, I know."
……
Yu Zhongtan from Xifang Liuli Store and Jiang Shangstairs from Jiang's Porcelain Store each carried a box upstairs and walked into the backyard under the leadership of Butler Huang.
Huang Wei was very curious.
He has heard a little bit about the young master’s recent actions, mainly the news from the Xishan Villa. For example, the young master has made a good wine called Xishan Qiongjiang. For example, the young master has bought a large area next to the courtyard. In the wilderness, it is also like the young master collecting information about various craftsmen.
He naturally knows very well what kind of virtue the young master of the Fu family has. The ridiculous things he did a few days ago almost killed him, but now it seems that the young master has really changed his temper.
These two people were invited by the young master. He didn't know what they were going to do, so he brought them here and didn't leave.
"Sit down, Xiu'er, and serve some good tea."
Fu Xiaoguan got up from the couch, sat down in front of the stone table in the pavilion, greeted the three of them, looked at Yu Zhongtan and said with a smile: "Boss Yu, take a look."
Yu Zhongtan handed over the box and said: "According to Master Fu's request, my masters have put a lot of thought into it. See if you like it."
Fu Xiaoguan opened the box, took out the goblet, touched it and looked up and down, then raised it up to the sun and asked, "Can it be more transparent?"
Yu Zhongtan shook his head, "This is the only way glass purification technology can work."
This thing is slightly yellowed, but it is already considered a good appliance.
"There is still a lot of room for improvement. Ask your master to study it. That's it for now. I want a thousand, how long will it take for delivery?"
"It's a bit troublesome to make. I estimate it will take ten days at the earliest."
"Quote a price."
Yu Zhongtan had already prepared in his heart. Since it was a quotation, he would definitely bargain with the other party, so he would naturally quote a high price first.
"One, one hundred coins."
"One hundred Wen?" Fu Xiaoguan frowned, and Yu Zhongtan's heart skipped a beat when he saw Fu Xiaoguan say to Chun Xiu: "Xiu'er, get the pen, ink and mimeograph."
"Shopkeeper Yu, I won't bargain with you for this first batch of business. I'll just charge you one hundred cents each and give you ten days. But remember, all goods must be of this quality, and there will be no low price. I don’t want anything of this quality. In addition, I want the word Tian Chun embossed on the bottom of this cup. Let’s sign the contract for this batch of goods. I’ll pay you a deposit of 20%. I’ll write a note later and you can go to the cashier. Receive."
Yu Zhongtan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Fu, I guarantee the quality of the goods. If there is still need in the future, Master Fu only needs to give the order, and I, Yu, will try my best to do it."
Huang Wei did not expect the young master to make such a straightforward decision.
This thing looks like a wine glass. Is this little thing a hundred cents apiece? Although glazed products are expensive, these utensils are extremely small. The young master wants a thousand more? What is this for?
Of course, the young master has decided that as the chief steward of the Fu family, he will definitely not say too much.
Fu Xiaoguan and Yu Zhongtan drew up a contract, wrote a note and handed it to Yu Zhongtan. He kept the wine glass, and Yu Zhongtan left happily.
Then he looked at the porcelain vase Jiang brought upstairs and was very satisfied. The price was fifteen cents a piece. He did not counter-offer, but asked to leave a message on the vase.
"Here on the bottle, write Xishan Tianchun, and here write rare wine, 42 degrees. Then there is the bottom of the bottle, and there are two words Xishan at the bottom of the bottle. I want five hundred of these."
"In addition, according to the shape of this vessel, make another blue bottle embellished with red plums, write the words Xishan Fragrant Spring, Thirty-two Degrees, and also write the words Xishan on the bottom of the bottle. I want a thousand of these."
"Tian Chun's bottle should be small and can hold three taels, while Xiangquan's bottle is slightly larger and can hold five taels. The price is the same, how about it?"
Jiang went upstairs and nodded, "Master Fu, please be happy. I will make arrangements when I get back."
"Okay, let's also sign a contract. How long will it take to deliver the goods?"
"Fifteen hundred bottles, about seven days."
"I'll give you ten days, you must do it well! Especially the sealing glaze and inscription...wait, inscription, I will give you the font later."
After taking the contract and deposit, Jiang went upstairs and left happily.
Not long after, word spread about the two big deals the young master of the Fu family had made in Xifang, and then the owner of Yao Ji Porcelain Store got furious and fired shopkeeper Li, who had been with him for ten years.
Of course, Fu Xiaoguan didn't know this. He was walking slowly back and forth in the yard at the moment.
For a moment, he stopped and said, "Xiao Bai, go and run for me."
"Don't call me Xiaobai! Where are you going?" Bai Yulian jumped down from the tree, startling Butler Huang.
"Take this bottle and go to Yu Fu Ji to fill it with a bottle of Tian Chun Liquor. Fill it seventy percent full. I can use it if you bring it back."
"Also, Xiu'er, go find me a bright red silk scarf, as long as it's bigger than a palm."
Huang Wei kept watching until only Fu Xiaoguan was left in the yard before asking: "What is the profound meaning of the young master's move?"
"Oh, selling wine."
"This utensil is more expensive than wine!"
Fu Xiaoguan laughed and said, "Uncle Huang, don't worry, this thing is expensive. Don't worry, I know it well."
