"Jingong Tower" is the largest restaurant in Yanggu County. It is located on the most prosperous street in the west of Yangguang County. It has a six-bedroom and two-story restaurant with a grand atmosphere. It is a first-class place to visit in this small place in Yanggu County.

Like most of the high-end deals in Yanggu County, Jingong Tower is also the industry of the Ximen family. It was run by a senior in the Ximen family who has been traveling around for half a lifetime and likes to eat, drink and cook. This restaurant has a large scene, a grand atmosphere, and also has authentic Kaifeng dishes with fair prices. The diners come and go every day are endless, full, and the business is booming.

Fan Daren of the Fan family in Yanggu was also a frequent visitor to Jingonglou. After being appointed as the ninth-rank general, he no longer lived in Fanjia Town in the countryside of Yanggu County. Instead, he lived in Yanggu County with a concubine who was originally a famous poet in Yunzhou, and set up a mansion next to Jingonglou.

Although he was just a ninth-rank general, who was not sent to the office, he also had an official salary of 12 yuan a month, which was 144 yuan a year. Official Fan also found a position as a county teacher in Yanggu County. The teacher's monthly money plus the filial piety of the students can earn hundreds of yuan a year. The addition of the two can be about 250 yuan a year. This money is not enough to be spent in Kaifeng Prefecture, but it is not a small amount of money in Yanggu County, where prices are low.

In addition, Fan Daguan Ren’s concubine also had two or three thousand private houses, which were invested in a warehouse (pawn shop) opened by the Ximen family. There were 400 interest per year to eat.

Therefore, the couple's life was quite comfortable and comfortable. There were servants at home to serve them. The daily meals were either to go to the restaurant or to ask the servants to order vegetables and take them home. Every now and then, the couple could go to Yunzhou City for fun together, which was a real life of a god.

Therefore, Mr. Fan also received the nickname "Fan Xiaoyao" in Yanggu County. To be honest, although Ximen He of the Ximen family has tens of thousands of treasures, he also kept many concubines and friends at all times when he was young, and he was surrounded by friends in the world. He seemed to be incredible, but he could not be called "Fuyao". Now that he is old, his body has been damaged by hard work and indulging in lust, he is trapped by a lot of mundane affairs, and he has an uneasy hero granddaughter, so his life is even more free...

"Fan Xiaoyao" had already left the Ximen family's mansion at this time, and asked Fan Zhijin and Fan's mother to go to Jingong Tower, while having a midnight snack, while discussing the tragic experience of Ximen Qing and Ximen female hero.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that such a good girl as Sister Ximen was ruined by a traitor!"

Fan's mother, Liu, was in advance and still sighed repeatedly. She was obviously reluctant to let such a good girl become a concubine of a traitor.

"The Ximen family is useless, why are you afraid of a wealthy businessman in Kaifeng?" Official Fan sighed, "What's so great about this kind of person being a slave of the general? He is just a businessman."

Fan Daguanren, who has taken the thirteenth Ministry of Rites competition, has some social experience. He knows that the traitor who can make the Ximen family willing to offer Sister Ximen is definitely not an ordinary traitor. It is impossible for a general to have a disciple, so old man Ximen doesn't have to talk about it anymore, so he is probably a slave from a noble family of the general.

Fan Zhijin said contemptuously: "The Ximen family is a person who is the last business of industry and commerce. No one has been appointed for two or three generations, so naturally he cannot afford to provoke the generals and slaves. But what is this kind of slave to my Yanggu Fan family?

If the Ximen family really spoke, would my family still sit idly by?"

"It can't be generalized," Mr. Fan shook his head and looked at his a little arrogant nephew. "If you pass the Jinshi, you naturally don't have to be afraid of these slaves in the generals. But you are just a disciple now... Although ordinary slaves are not afraid, it will be difficult to meet those powerful slaves in the noble family."

"Even if you are a popular person, you dare not provoke my Yanggu Fan family!" Fan Zhijin snorted, "No matter how powerful the noble slaves are, they are still slaves, and my family is a scholar-official! Our dynasty is the world with scholar-official officials. If a slave dares to bully my family, it is an enemy of scholar-official officials in the world!"

"This is true..." Official Fan nodded.

If it is a noble child, it is a different matter. However, the slaves are inferior people after all. Even if they get rich through business and have millions of property, they still cannot be compared with scholars and officials.

If the two conflicts, then Kaifeng Shilin would not watch the scholars and officials be bullied by slaves. Not to mention the slaves of noble families, even the nobles of the royal family would still be criticized by the censor who was trying to make a name for himself.

A businessman and a rich slave... Humph, if you really want to be bitten by the censors, it will be light to lose everything, and you may even have to give up your life.

"Yes!" Fan's mother echoed, "Even if Sister Ximen was bullied by a thief, she should beg my family to make a decision! How can I hand over Sister Ximen out? And my family took a fancy to her first, how could she let such a despicable person steal a good thing? And she also called Sister Ximen as a concubine. Is it really too much to think that there is no one in Yanggu County?"

Fan Zhijin gritted his teeth, "It's impossible... There is always justice in this world! I want to see who this lewd is!"

Official Fan seemed to be moved by his nephew's passion and nodded, "Yes! There are always people who can make our lives for the people!"

The spirit of the three Fan family is difficult to understand in the eyes of later generations, but in the Song Dynasty... those who became scholars and officials who were promising in their studies were the only way to do the world!

Their scholars and officials share the world with the emperor, so they just need to take care of the unfair things in the world!

Even if the emperor does something wrong, someone will still dare to make a fuss about his face and make a fuss!

As for the rich businessmen like Wu Haogu, who are very good at hand and eyes, they are not in the eyes of rural scholars like the Fan family. If you really want to argue, the one who suffers must be Wu Haogu - this kind of thing is unimaginable in later generations, but it was natural in the Song Dynasty.

Because of sharing the world with scholars and officials... most people take it seriously!

So no matter how rich Wu Haogu is, he is not one of the many little masters in the world... unless he brings up a Jinshi!

Although the Fan family in Yanggu didn’t have much money, they were just a bunch of old farmers who studied, they had their share in the world!

This is probably the difference between the master and the slave...

...

"Brother, I will go to Kaifeng Mansion with Brother Chai tomorrow... I have to discuss the value of my elder sister with the official of the Wuhan University."

At the same time, Ximen matchmaker was discussing Ximen Qing's "pricing" with Ximen He and Chai Old Man Wai. Oh, Ximen Qing himself was also present.

Because of her pregnancy, her figure has become much more plump and mature - she is not the kind of slender woman, but her figure is maintained because of long-term exercise and diet control. Now that she is pregnant, she naturally doesn’t want to dance with knives, guns, bows and horses, and she eats a lot. After returning to Yanggu County, she has gained 10 or 20 kilograms... Her chest has even bulged out and turned into two mountains!

"Seventh aunt, what are you saying?" Ximen Qing has now let go and no longer cares about her pregnancy before marriage. When he heard Ximen's matchmaker's words, he said angrily, "Do you treat me as a red gangster? Do you want to sell it to Wu Dalang?"

"What do you know, girl?" Grandma Ximen glared at Ximen Qing, "Do you know that in the laws of the Song Dynasty, I also have to be divided into different levels?"

Is the concubine still divided into grades? Ximen Qing was stunned. She really hadn't studied it yet.

Grandma Ximen asked again: "How many concubines do you think you can be?"

Ximen Qing thrust his big breasts, "It's my first-class!"

"Bah!" Ximen's grandmother spitted at Ximen Qing, "I think beautifully! The best concubine is Teng Hei's concubine."

"I feel so painful that I am a concubine?" Ximen Qing didn't understand why.

Grandma Ximen said: "I have been married to Teng. In ancient times, sisters with the same surname have been married to Teng. However, there is no rule for our dynasty to marry Teng as the daughter of a villain. They are all ordinary daughters who are the daughters of scholars and officials who are the daughters of scholars and officials. Teng's concubine has a status as a superior wife, so she can be a regular husband. If Wu Dalang's wife has not passed the family is generous enough, you can be her husband and Teng, and then my family will not buy the capital for concubines."

So that's the case, Ximen Qing thought: Is it just that Sister Pan Shiba willing to "love" me?

"After Teng is a concubine, I will buy it and become a concubine." Grandma Ximen continued.

Ximen Qing asked shamelessly: "Are you still running to become a concubine?"

"What's the matter? That's the rule in ancient times." Grandma Ximen said, "There is no such rule now. You and Wu Dalang are **. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, you will be sentenced to one and a half years of imprisonment!"

"Prison?" Ximen Qing snorted a few times, not caring.

In fact, Wu Haogu and her were the Xijin Mansion of Liao Kingdom. This crime should be under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing Road Police and the Qingtianmen of the Song Dynasty... Moreover, the current Nanjing Road Police Ma Zhi is still making a connection between Wu Haogu and her. Why are they all accomplices?

Grandma Ximen continued to say: "If you can't win Teng and become a concubine, you can only settle for the second best and sell Qing'er to Wu Dalang. There are rules for buying concubines. You need to find a way to write a turtle book, make a sale contract, and make sure that the seller is voluntary, the origin is legal, the buyer is willing, and then the price is debated."

"About the price?" Ximen Qing frowned, "Then how much should I discuss?"

"You, beautiful and martial arts skills, you won't be cheap." Grandma Ximen looked at Ximen Qing with a look of looking at the animals, "Three or four thousand silks are almost done!"

"What? Only three or four thousand coins?" Ximen Qing was unhappy when he heard this price. "Is it too cheap?"
