Chapter 2197 Do You Want to Marry Me?
Butler Dai didn't believe this, but General Dai did. As a servant, he could only continue to beg: "Qin Qianhu, General Dai said that as long as you are willing to give, he can give you gold, silver and generous gifts."
The word "buy" is a bit ugly. The Qin and Gu family are not so poor that they have to sell their children's diapers, so they can only use the word "gift".
But Qian Qinghe didn't mind, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked: "May I ask Butler Dai, how much gold and silver will General Dai give as a gift? The Dai family is so rich and generous, so they must give a lot, right?" "
The money congratulatory man didn't tell the actual amount of money. If the Dai family planned to give away 500 taels, but he asked if the Dai family wanted to give away 50 taels, wouldn't that be a big loss?
Five hundred taels of diapers, you really dare to think!
Butler Dai knew the virtues of the Xiao family, but in order to successfully get the twin boys' diapers, he stretched out a finger and said: "A diaper is one hundred taels."
Throughout the ages, it has been a great blessing to give birth to healthy twin boys who can live for a hundred days. The story of the Qin family's twins has long been spread in Long'an Mansion. If General Dai wants this blessing, he also I want to show off my prowess, so I am willing to pay a high price for diapers.
However, the royal family does not like twin boys very much, especially the one who becomes the emperor. They are afraid that they will be harmed and replaced by their twin brothers. Therefore, when the royal family gives birth to twin boys, either the weak one will be drowned or the weak one will be drowned. Send the weak away.
"One hundred taels of diapers!" Qian Qinghe was shocked. He held Butler Dai's hand and said, "The Dai family is worthy of being a family of ministers. They are generous in their dealings. I admire you very much... Give it to me. We will definitely give it to the Dai family." Diapers, three yuan is not enough? Why don’t you keep a few extra ones in case you lose them along the way? Nine yuan, ninety-nine is an extreme number, and it’s a good sign.”
Nine dollars?
That would cost nine hundred taels of silver.
If the Dai family spent 900 taels of silver to buy nine diapers, and if word spread, they would definitely be laughed at as being mentally ill.
Qin Sanlang said: "It's just two diapers. I'll have someone bring them to Butler Dai. As for Xiao Qingyun's, Butler Dai will discuss it with his uncle's family."
"Thank you Qin Qianhu!" Butler Dai was very happy, and finally bought a diaper for Xiao Qingyun with one hundred taels of silver, and also gave four ink sticks to Xiao Qingyun, Brother Xiaogui and the two twins.
When Qian Qinghe saw that he only sold one diaper, he cursed in his heart: Cousin Qin really doesn't know how to do business. He should just put on a bad face and cooperate with him to raise the price of diapers. How could he agree to give diapers so easily? You don’t know how to live, stupid!
However, what the Dai family gave seems to be gold ink, which is ink with gold powder added. It is expensive, so let the second brother sell it. It can be sold for at least ten taels of silver a piece.
I made a profit, not bad, let me give you a smile.
So as soon as Butler Dai turned his head, he saw Qian Qinghe's flattering smile... Not to mention, although this man was very handsome, his appearance was quite handsome, and his smile was quite comforting, so Butler Dai followed him more often. Chatted for a few words.
The conversation was so good that he actually took out a purse of little gold nuggets to give him money to celebrate: "Your little brother is also a well-behaved and lovable person. There are some golden nuggets here, take them back and give them to him to play with."
Qian Qinghe immediately took it and put it into his inner pocket: "Butler Dai is really considerate. You love him so much. When I take him to Fucheng another day, I will go to the general's mansion to see Butler Dai and ask General Dai for a gift." install."
Good guy, he's better at hitting snakes and sticking them on poles than he is, so I'm going to use him to curry favor with General Dai.
However, there was news from Dai Shangshu that he wanted General Dai to establish a good relationship with the Qin family. Butler Dai didn't mind if they came to visit the Qin family. The family must be well entertained.”
Qian Qinghe was very happy and started doing business with Butler Dai again: "It's been very peaceful recently, and it's suitable for building a house. The Dai family doesn't have many houses in Mu County now, right? Then we have to build it quickly. Build a few more, and we can go back and forth in the future. It would be nice to have a place to stay on the road... The quality of the green bricks in our guardhouse is of the highest quality. Not to mention building a house, they can be used as weapons to kill enemies in battle. The Dai family can afford one hundred and eighty thousand yuan. Come on, let’s give the Dai family a preferential price.”
this?
To be honest, it's a bit unnecessary.
General Dai is guarding the third line of defense. He already has several houses and other courtyards in Fucheng, and there will be a decisive battle between them and the bandits. Mu County is the first battlefield. If you build a house here, it will be very dangerous in the event of a war. It might have been burned by bandits.
There is still a brick kiln of the Meng family in Fucheng, so there is no need for them to buy green bricks from the Qin family.
But Butler Dai thought about it and bought it anyway: "Okay, I'll pay you fifty thousand yuan first, and we'll talk about it later if you need it."
"Okay, let's sign the contract now!" Qian Qinghe was very happy and quickly wrote the contract and received the deposit.
After the purchase of green bricks was settled, Butler Dai took three diapers and couldn't wait to follow Uncle Cao and Uncle He to Qingniu Mountain Village... General Dai wanted to buy a porcelain that would appear when it was hot and go back. To coax my concubine.
Qian Qinghe sent Butler Dai and others out of the guardhouse all the way, and shouted towards the carriage: "Butler Dai, walk slowly, come back often when you have time!"
Your sister comes here often and loses more than a thousand taels of silver in one visit. No matter how rich the Dai family is, they can't help but dig like this.
When Uncle Cao saw Butler Dai wiping away cold sweat, he laughed and said, "You Dai family deserve it. What on earth does General Dai think about spending money to buy diapers?"
Housekeeper Dai said: "Our general has always acted as he pleases, so I can only do as I am told."
Fortunately, the general was only confused about private matters and did not dare to take charge of the army, so he did not offend anyone and lived a good life.
However, Butler Dai said: "The son-in-law of Uncle Qin's family is quite capable."
He was not an ordinary person because he came to the Northwest to cook General Dai's general affairs. It was obvious that he was as knowledgeable as he was, so he spent money to celebrate. He didn't want to buy it at first, but after being told by him, he bought one without knowing it. Pile stuff.
Uncle Cao smiled and said: "It's indeed okay, but that's it. If you want to be a high official, you can't do it."
Xiao Chengju is pretty good, he is more optimistic about him.
…
"Uncle Qian, the door is about to close, please go back quickly." Seeing Qian Qinghe still standing at the door, looking at the banknotes happily in the afterglow of dusk, Wu Zongqi had to remind him.
"Sure, I'll go back right now." Qian Qinghe said, taking out a meat pie from the cloth bag and stuffing it to Mr. Wu: "I got this at the table. It's not rancid, so feel free to eat it."
It didn't go rancid, and it was very tasty. Mr. Wu was holding a meat pie, which was a little hard to swallow.
"Let's go." Qian Qinghe left a meat pie for himself and walked home while eating. Halfway there, he suddenly heard Jifeng's voice and hurriedly hid.
Jifeng said: "Miss Xiao, it's getting dark and the gate of the guardhouse is about to close. I want to go out quickly. Why are you stopping me?"
Xiao Mei hesitated for a moment and suddenly took out a bottle of wine. Ji Feng thought she was going to give it to him, but she drank it herself and said hurriedly: "Miss Xiao, you will get drunk if you drink like this."
Xiao Xiaomei smiled and said, "What, you care about me?"
Ji Feng was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.
Xiao Xiaomei was very angry and said to Jifeng: "You are really a person who doesn't like to talk."
He waved his hand again and said: "I won't talk about this today. I'm here to ask you whether you want to marry me or not?!"
