Chapter 79 The capital is full of business

Ouyang Kang finally apologized and didn't care about Nianfu anymore.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm a generous person anyway. But even though you have figured it out, there is something I still want to tell you. No one in this world owes anyone, like your father. You must feel that he can't forgive you, but maybe

He also feels that you are dragging him down. So, when others are willing to be nice to you, don’t be too aggressive, otherwise you will still suffer the consequences.”

"Just don't be shameless, right? Don't worry, I've written it down." Ouyang Kang laughed at himself, "In the past, Mr. Wu said that I was very childish in my behavior, and I was still a little unconvinced. Now it seems that it is indeed the case.

.”

Nianfu told him seriously, "What are you afraid of? At least it proves that you are still young. At least, you won't get to Mr. Wu's age and not even have a wife or children, and be forced into marriage all day long, right?"

Thinking of Mr. Wu's troubles, Ouyang Kang smiled unkindly. After he finished laughing, he said humbly and sincerely, "Whenever I am stubborn again in the future, just tell me and don't ignore me like before.

Is it ok?"

The last sentence already contains a little bit of uneasiness. I think that during the past few days of the Cold War, Mr. Ouyang's life was not easy.

He is still a good boy who knows his mistakes and can correct them. Nianfu replied in an old-fashioned manner, "Okay! Well, since we have decided to go back, let's do business together then? Hehe, you can be my protective umbrella and we can make a fortune together!"

"

Although Ouyang Kang didn't quite understand what the umbrella meant, Ouyang Kang was so amused by the words "partnership" and "together" that he reached out and took the big bag containing two pieces of cloth on his back, skipping this question. Just asking.

She said, "Is your bracelet still worth it?"

"Forget it, the cloth can't be sold, so just keep that one. Go back and give one to my mother and one to my grandma, so that they can be proud of themselves."

Ouyang Kang was about to praise her for her filial piety when suddenly a man came up to her and said, "Boy, do you have a silver bracelet? Are you willing to exchange it for this antique of mine?"

It was the man who also went to the pawn shop just now.

Nianfu shook his head. "I don't understand antiques."

But Ouyang Kang became interested and said, "Take it and take a look."

The man dragged them to a corner, opened the bag mysteriously, and revealed a small celadon jar, shaped like a cute little bear, with two front paws placed together. It looked like they were eating. There were holes on the back for filling water.

Water can come out of the mouth again.

Nian Fu didn't recognize it, "Is this a pot? Why isn't it covered?"

The man didn't recognize it either, "It's probably a plaything. To be honest, it was passed down from my ancestors. Because of my partiality, it was unfair for the brothers to divide their families. So I stole it to vent my anger in exchange for some silver. Listen,

The two of you have foreign accents, so I dare to sell them. It’s not too much, just show me your bracelets, and if they work, let’s change them.”

Ouyang Kang was an honest man, so he played it and told him, "This is actually an inkstone, for use in the study. But I have it now, so I don't need it."

But Nianfu liked that little bear very much. He thought it was exquisitely made and very cute, especially since he was a foodie. Considering that the bracelet given by Tan was not very valuable, he took one out and said, "I'll trade one for you."

Is this okay?"

The man was hesitant, and Ouyang Kang suddenly made a fool of himself, "Why would you trade such a good bracelet for this one? No."

The man immediately grabbed the bracelet and refused to let go, "Then change it."

So, the sale was completed.

If the pawnshop owner saw this, he would probably beat his chest and stomp his chest and let the guy work there for thirty years.

After the man left, Ouyang Kang quietly told Nianfu, "You are not at fault. If this inkstone is not old, it should be very old. I have heard this style from my grandmother. She had it at home when she was a child.

Such a bear. There is an inscription underneath. Although I don’t know much about it, the bracelet of yours is still worth the price for such a beautiful thing.”

Nianfu suddenly felt happy that he had taken advantage of him, and he wrapped the little bear in a handkerchief and put it away, "Since you knew it, why did you say that just now?"

Young Master Ouyang raised his eyebrows proudly, "What makes it difficult for people to guard against it is the reality or the reality? What, I don't have the potential to do business?"

"You are so talented!" Nianfu praised him fiercely. Just as the two were about to leave, another woman came over and asked, "Do you want to sell the cloth you are wearing?"

How come everyone in this capital loves doing business?

I saw the woman purse her lips and smile, "When I was just buying something, I saw you guys coming out of the pawn shop. The prices there are very low, right? If you are willing, I can introduce you to a place to sell them. I guarantee the price is reasonable.

It's still a cash transaction. If the negotiation is successful, I will only charge 10% of the tea fee, okay?"

Nian Fu looked this woman up and down and saw that she was about thirty years old, her clothes were neat and clean, she had a long face, fair skin, and shrewd eyes, but she looked a bit like she had worked hard.

"Thank you, we won't sell it." Ouyang Kang was wary and wanted to pull Nianfu away, but the woman smiled and said, "Young Master Ouyang, don't worry, I'm really not a bad person."

Huh? Young Master Ouyang was surprised. Does this woman know him?

I went back to a silk and satin shop where I had inquired about the price before reading the book. I called a clerk and successfully sold the two pieces of cloth that Mrs. Tan had given me at 40% off the market price.

Nian Fuqi said, "I asked them before and they all said they wouldn't accept it."

After handing the six taels of silver to Nian Fu and asking for six taels of silver as a favor fee, the woman smiled and told them, "If you are a stranger and ask, it's strange that he dares to agree. If you let the shopkeeper hold it,

They need to be beaten to death. But if they are acquaintances, it is different. They can keep these cloths themselves and sell them privately to some familiar old customers at a discount. That is to let the shopkeeper know, and say that they are entrusted by old customers and belong to the shopkeeper.

It sounds like he has a first and last name, so he won’t say much.”

It's easier to do things when you have acquaintances, and it seems that this has been the case throughout the ages.

"Just, how do you know me?" Young Master Ouyang was very curious.

The woman smiled, "I wonder if you have heard about me? I am the mother who came to Mr. Xu's house."

As soon as he said this, Ouyang Kang and Nian Fu were somewhat impressed.

The woman smiled openly and said, "Of course, at my age, I cannot raise a son as old as Mr. Xu, but I am the serious stepmother of his country father. Logically speaking, I am indeed his mother."

Uh...that seems to make sense.

"It turns out to be Mrs. Xu."

Seeing that Ouyang Kang was being polite, Mrs. Xu waved her hands and said with a smile, "There's no need to be like this. I know that I'm just a country woman, and I can't afford to be a husband but not a wife. If you are willing, just call me Aunt Xu. If so next time

If you still have something you want to sell or need help, just come to me at the fifth store from the left at the east end of Mingyi Square. After all, I came a few days earlier than you and know more about the capital. I'm going to go shopping now.

I won’t tell you more about the preparations for the night market in the evening, just take your time and go.”

Seeing her hurriedly leaving, Nianfu and Ouyang Kang looked at each other and had the same idea, this woman is not simple. A country woman ran to the capital to find her husband's former son, and she still survived here tenaciously.

It's really not easy.

However, after taking off the cloth, I felt a lot lighter and could go shopping. After eating a bowl of wonton noodles on the street, the two of them went to the famous Huguo Temple in the capital.

Burning incense and worshiping Buddha is secondary. The main thing is to visit a very famous Bodhisattva in this ancient temple. I heard that the Pure Master had profound Dharma during his lifetime and his body will not rot after death. He has been worshiping it for more than 300 years and still remains the same.

well-preserved.

Because of the physical presence of this master, countless celebrities and literati have visited here and left ink marks on the white walls of this temple. Some of the ink marks have become worth thousands of gold as time goes by.

There used to be many gangsters who wanted to dig out the ink marks on the wall, but the amazing thing is that no matter who comes, as long as they dare to dig, they will definitely die.

There are also various ways of death. Some are bitten by poisonous snakes when they go out, some are killed by hailstones falling from the sky, and even more tragically, they die suddenly at the excavation site. Anyway, as long as you dare to take it, you can

You have to be prepared for any fate of death at any time.

However, as long as the stolen ink is returned, this terrible curse will stop. People say that Master Qingjing is protecting every plant and tree here, so gradually, the incense of Huguo Temple becomes more vigorous and less popular.

If you have the guts to come and visit me someday.

But there are always people who don't believe in this evil. Just twenty years ago, there was a hero in troubled times who was not convinced and wanted to challenge the sacred aura of this pure master. If you say stealing is not possible, then I will rob. Not only did I rob the ink, I

I also want to destroy that physical body!

But just when he ordered the soldiers to set fire to the wooden building dedicated to the physical Bodhisattva, a thunderbolt fell from the sky and struck the hero squarely. It is unknown whether he was able to ascend and be reborn through time. Anyway, the physical body was too dead to die anymore.

Hey, I'm really not afraid of being uneducated, but I'm afraid of having low emotional intelligence. You said you can just put up the incense sticks and let him bless you and make you king and hegemon, don't you think? He's been dead for hundreds of years, and he can't do anything to you. You can do it.

If you have trouble with someone, you deserve to be beaten to death.

"Give me money!"

Just after listening to the old monk's talk about ancient times, Ouyang rudely nuzzled at her.

Nian Fu stretched his neck and took a look. It turned out to be a calligraphy copied from the wall of the temple. Forget it, this can be regarded as cultured incense money, support it.

"How many?"

"Twelve."

The outstretched hand retracted again, and Sister Mu's eyes widened, "What kind of copybook is this? It's so expensive?"

Young Master Ouyang looked like he was aggrieved and frugal, "I haven't bought the genuine rubbings yet. That alone costs fifty taels of silver. This rubbing was taken from a copied inscription, and it only costs ten dollars."

Two. How cheap!”

Wow, culture is so expensive. But in front of the overly efficacious Bodhisattva, I didn’t dare say a word while reciting blessings. I took out the money from my purse with trembling hands, and hesitated, “Can it be cheaper?”

"Vulgar!" Young Master Ouyang snatched the money away and gave it to the monk. He glared at her again and said, "I'll give it back to you when I get back."

Nianfu suddenly became energetic, "You don't need to pay back!"

"What do you want to do?" The girl smiled so horribly. Young Master Ouyang held the copybook in his arms like a treasure and quickly took a step away.
