Chapter 17
Luo An slammed his chest in one breath. Such a chair costs 200 taels, and one hundred is 20,000 taels of silver. All his private money is only enough to pay the deposit.
He was so angry that his hands were trembling slightly. He accidentally glanced at Cheng Mo who was sitting aside with a smile like nothing happened. The fire became even louder and said coldly: "How many pieces did Wulang buy?"
So what if you have a big fist? Can you spend 20,000 taels of silver if you settle down?
Cheng Mo smiled and deserved a beating, saying, "I'm considering it."
He was in a very good mood now and stopped quarreling with Luo An.
Luo An didn't want to let him go like this, and said with a fierce look on his face: "Zhang Shier and I both bought it, what else are you thinking about? Can you trust us?"
It's great. If Cheng Mo admits that he has no money, he can only admit defeat in public. Cheng Mo owes a lot of debts, where can he get the money to buy such an expensive chair? If he can really afford the money, he will not have to wait until tomorrow, and he will be able to get his colleagues to surround his courtyard and must pay it back.
Cheng Mo rolled his eyes and said, "Shibalang, your family has a big business and a big yard. It's okay to put a hundred official hats and chairs in it. I'm just fed and my whole family is not hungry. What do you want to do with a hundred chairs? Where can I put it? Could you give me a yard?"
Zhang Qing, who was arrogant and looked up at the sky, laughed three times and said, "Luo Shiba gave you a yard, and I'll give you a few chairs, how about it?"
Cheng Mo smiled and said, "If you don't receive any rewards, how can you spend money?"
It was like he was really said. Luo An changed his face in anger and said angrily: "It's so shameless. I will send it to you in the yard if I burn more money. Who do I think I am!"
Cheng Mo smiled and said, "You want to give it away, but I won't accept it yet."
"You!" This man was so crazy. Luo An glared at Cheng Mo fiercely and took a group of followers away. Behind him, Zhang Qing's loud laughter came.
Zhang Qing felt that being with Cheng Mo was a pleasure, and he could always suppress Luo An.
"Goro, in two months, I will send a few chairs over." He said sincerely.
Cheng Mo shook his head: "No."
The official hat and chair are his property, so no one can give it to others. Zhang Qing didn't know the inside story. He thought Cheng Mo was humble and was about to persuade him, but the melodious bell rang and the market opened.
The onlookers had been stunned when they saw the two playboys spending money, and they had no courage to come forward to ask for the price.
Two tall rich doors in the west city were slowly pushed open. Unlike usual, only a few people walked in, and more people chose to stay and watch the fun. The scene just now made them feel very excited.
The official hat chair was released on the first day of this era. Cheng Mo naturally attached importance to it, but he did not pay attention to it to the extent that he had to follow up in person. Since he hired Manager Hua, he gave him power. He had been a bystander just now, and he did not intervene from beginning to end, so Manager Hua came forward to deal with it.
Manager Hua saw with his own eyes that the person was brought by Cheng Mo. If the boss has such a connection, why worry about not becoming the new favorite of noble people? Within a quarter of an hour, 40,000 taels were earned, which was an astronomical number. He had been so excited that his lips were trembling, and he didn't know what to say.
Cheng Moyi said with some advice: "The shopkeeper has outstanding abilities, and your store will definitely have a prosperous business."
This is to praise him for his good business. Manager Hua was so excited and said, "I have received the help of noble people, but I dare not be the one."
While talking, two more young men in brocade clothes came over, and one of them pointed at the official hat and chair and said, "What is this?"
Manager Hua greeted him, and the conversation like the one just now began again.
When Cheng Mo stepped into the gate of the West City, the young man in Jinyi's white hand had already touched the back of the official hat and chair, and was hesitating whether to sit on the chair as Manager Hua said.
Zhang Qing did not see the legendary Chengying Ancient Sword in the Golden Hall. The two of them walked around casually, came out of the western market, and passed by the shopkeeper Hua.
There are still many people watching, and some middle-class families cannot withstand the temptation. They muster up the courage to come and watch it up close. If there is no noble person sitting, they will go up and experience the fun of sitting on the chair.
Anyone who has sat down thinks that this is much more comfortable than sitting, making it unforgettable for a try.
Zhang Qing saw that the shopkeeper Hua was talking to a middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament. The middle-aged man slowly stretched out his buttocks and sat on the official hat chair. He couldn't help but be happy and said, "I didn't expect to meet someone from the Shangguan family here."
At that time, Emperor Wu had four ministers entrusted to the orphanage. In addition to Huo Guang, there were Shangguan Jie, Sang Hongyang, Jin Riyan, Sang Hongyang and Jin Riyan who had died of illness. Now the power of the government and the people are the Huo family and the Shangguan family. The two families are in-laws, and the eldest daughter of Huo Guang's original wife, Donglu, married Shangguan An, the son of Shangguan Jie.
The middle-aged man was Shangguan Jie's cousin, Shangguan Hua. Seeing that he was very interested in the official hat and chair, Zhang Qingqi said, "Why are he here to join in the fun?"
Cheng Mo was puzzled.
Zhang Qing explained: "This person has a bad character. He doesn't pay for going to the brothel. The madam dares to be angry but dares not speak out. I think he must have no good intentions when he sees Shangguan's hat and chair. He either takes it forcibly or robs."
Cheng Mo said: "It's not easy for businessmen, let's remind the boss."
That is his property, how could he be robbed by others? Cheng Mo said, and hurried over. Zhang Qing wanted to pull it, but he couldn't hold it back, so he had to follow it.
"How come a chair like this is worth 200 taels of silver?" Shangguan Hua sat on the chair, leaning comfortably on the back of the chair, questioning.
Manager Hua smiled and explained: "The noble man doesn't know anything. The official hat and chair are exquisite. The top craftsmen can't make one in half a month. They are made of sour pear wood, which is very valuable. Two hundred taels are just the cost price, and the price will definitely increase after the promotion period."
It's so hateful. I've been picky for a long time. Isn't it just to bargain? If you don't want to buy, don't waste his time here. There are still a lot of people waiting to buy it. Manager Hua complained in his heart, and did not dare to show his face at all, so he patiently spoke with Shangguan Hua.
The chair is novel and exquisite, and it is high-end and elegant. Shangguan Hua is really moved. But when he asked him to pay for it, it was the sun coming out from the west. What kind of family is the Shangguan family? How could he pay for it to buy something? He likes anything and takes it away. He was very unhappy with the ignorance of the shopkeeper Hua. He was about to ask the follower to give a prompt, but when he looked up, he saw Zhang Qing, and immediately waved to him: "Is Zhang Shier here?"
Zhang Qing's face looked very bad. He didn't care about him, but he didn't want to pay attention to him. He said vaguely that he didn't know what he said.
Shangguan Hua didn't care and said, "Look, Zhang Shier, this thing is called an official hat chair. It looks bad in color and has four legs. It's awkward no matter how you look at it."
Zhang Qing ignored him without looking at him.
Cheng Mo smiled faintly and said, "It's not good-looking, why are you still doing here? Let the ground be given to people who think it's good-looking."
When Manager Hua saw that the boss had arrived, he was overjoyed and asked him to the side.
