Long Tianba's heart was moved, but he didn't have so much money in hand, so he begged the steward of Gambling Stone Workshop to let him deposit the jade pendant that symbolizes the identity of Young Master Long, and issued an IOU of 15 million to buy it. I bought this half-gambled wool.
It turned out that this piece of emerald was skin green, except for a thin layer of emerald where the skylight was opened, the rest were all white stones. All the more than 10 million yuan he earned before was in vain, and he also had a huge debt of 15 million yuan from before. Long Tianba suddenly broke out in cold sweat, his feet softened and he sat on the ground, unable to get up no matter what.
This is not like the last time in heaven and earth, with thousands of taels of silver, his father can wipe his ass. More than 15 million taels of silver, even as an idle young master who did not participate in the family business, he deeply understands that such a large amount of silver is likely to be the profit of the Long family for a year or even longer!
He suspected that it was a trick played by Gambling Shifang. However, they didn't tie you up to buy wool. If he wasn't greedy enough to leave after earning more than 10 million yuan, how could the following things happen
Such things cannot be concealed. Long Tianba didn't know how he returned to the inn. When he saw his father, he knelt down in front of his father and lost his voice in pain.
After Long Yikui understood the situation, he kicked him to the ground. After kicking his son hard a few times, he sat on a chair, clutching his chest and panting heavily. He took out a heart-protecting pill from his bosom and swallowed it, then he picked up the cup and took a sip of water. Unhappy, he threw the cup heavily on the ground, and the splashed tiles drew a bloody gash on Long Tianba's face.
"Father, calm down and beat me hard. It's because my son lost his head and couldn't control himself!" Long Tianba hugged his father's leg and cried like a child. He really knew he was afraid this time, and said that he would change his mind in the future and honestly not cause trouble for the family.
Long Yikui has already figured out the smell at this time, this is a trap set by someone for his unworthy son! There may be people who made a fortune overnight by betting on stones, but even those who are proficient in this field may not be able to be like his son, and every bet will increase. The son is not a person with a strong heart, so he will naturally be dazzled by this overwhelming wealth and get into other people's calculated game.
Reminiscent of the time when he took his son to the heaven and earth club to apologize to the prince, he was still a little surprised at how the prince could forgive them so easily. I've been making trouble for a long time, and I'm waiting for them here. However, if spending more than 15 million yuan can calm down Shizi and Prince Xu's mansion, it might be a blessing in disguise.
However, the only thing he couldn't understand was, could there be strange people and strange things in Xu Wang's mansion, who could clearly judge the jadeite wool? Especially the piece of leather green and half-gambling wool with the skylight open, which is very gambling. Nine out of ten people will definitely think that it is very likely to rise. In case that able man was mistaken, wouldn't he let his prodigal son get caught up in the loophole
In Xu Wang's mansion, Xu Wang's son Zhu Yunxuan poured a cup of tea for Xiao Butianshi, and said with a smile: "This time, thanks to Brother Yuan's help, I know that you don't drink, so I will replace wine with tea, thank you, Brother Yuan." .”
Although Zhu Yunxuan was very curious about the real identity of this Yuan Zi in front of him, why he could clearly judge whether there was any emerald in the rough stone, and how much the emerald was worth. Even relying on skin green, he can check it out. Could it be... he sees through eyes? However, the mother concubine had solemnly told him not to investigate Yuan Zi's secrets. No matter how curious he was, he could only endure it.
Xiao Butianshi took a sip of tea and put it down, squinted at the master's eldest son, and said with a groan, "Uncle Yuan! Speaking of which, when you were still in the belly of your mother and concubine, you were still with Little Bean Sprouts. Uncle Yuan saved the lives of you and your concubine mother. If you, Uncle Yuan, and I hadn’t appeared in time, you and your concubine mother would have died twice!”
Zhu Yunxuan pursed his lips, and said: "You always use this matter to block my mouth. If you don't bother me, I will be annoyed! Well, since you don't want to talk about this matter, I won't talk about it. However, You don't look much older than me, so calling uncle doesn't call you old?"
"That's my seniority! Xiao Xuanxuan, children should act like children, don't always imitate your father and pretend to be adults with a straight face all day long!" Little Butianshi stretched out his hand, thinking Touched Zhu Yunxuan's head, but he avoided it.
"I'm thirteen, I'm not a child anymore! When my father was around my age, he was ordered to travel across the oceans to find high-yield crop seeds for the Ming Dynasty, and he returned with honor!" Zhu Yunxuan rushed to Xiaobu. Tianshi rolled his eyes. In front of trusted people, he will show such a childish side.
Xiao Butianshi shook his head, and said: "Your father went to the West at the age of fifteen, and returned when he was seventeen or eighteen. If you want to compare with him, wait a few years until your hair grows!"
"His Royal Highness, the concubine asked you to go see her if you are not busy now." Chun Tao, the eldest maid next to Concubine Xu, entered the study with her consent and said with a smile.
Zhu Yunxuan said: "Okay, you go back to mother concubine, my son will go there right away."
Seeing Chuntao walking away, he said to Xiao Butianshi: "Brother Yuan, what do you think my concubine is looking for? Did you tell my concubine our plan?"
"I told you, my name is Uncle Yuan!!" Little Butianshi successfully rubbed Zhu Yunxuan's head, and smiled triumphantly, "Am I the one who can't keep secrets? Your mother and concubine take care of it." All the properties of the palace, do you think that everything you do can be hidden from her? Hurry up, don't keep your mother and concubine waiting for a long time!"
When Yu Xiaocao saw her son, she handed him a piece of her newly made pastry, and said with a smile, "Come, try the new apple pie made by my concubine. I know you don't like sweet food, so I specially put less sugar in it."
"Mmm! It's delicious!!" Zhu Yunxuan ate up a piece of apple pie in a self-conscious manner. He has the same virtue as his father, he will not use nice words to praise the taste of food, but only use actions to prove his liking for this apple pie.
"Little Baozi, my mother has heard about what you did outside recently. Let's stop here, so as not to prove that our Xu Palace is bullying others." Yu Xiaocao picked up another piece of caramel apple pie Eating with relish, he seemed to say this casually.
Zhu Yunxuan smiled and said: "Mother, you don't have to worry about this matter any longer. You can't worry about your son's affairs? When the father led the troops out of Beijing, he specially told his son to protect you and your sister. If If you just allow others to insult you, mother and concubine, but your son keeps his head back and ignores you, then you are really a son of man!"
Her son's filial piety and protection made Xiaocao feel very warm. She stroked her son's smooth hair and said with a smile: "Our little bun has grown up and is a little man who can protect mother and concubine!"
Zhu Yunxuan said awkwardly: "Concubine Mother, can you remove the word 'little'? My son is not young anymore!"
"But in the eyes of the concubine, you will always be that small, soft, red bun!" Yu Xiaocao hugged her son who was taller than herself, watching his ears change little by little. Red, so red it's about to bleed. Yu Xiaocao is the most handy at molesting his son.
The stone gambling incident came to an end when Long Yikui raised more than 15 million taels of silver bills and personally delivered them to the steward of the stone gambling workshop.
However, Long Yikui gradually discovered that it was getting more and more difficult for him to get out of Beijing. First, they were cheated of a large amount of high-end silk with a payment of more than 8 million. The Long family, who had some difficulty in cash flow, was tantamount to worsening the situation.
Next, he found that he was in a silk shop in the capital where there were a lot of customers, and the business was a little bit deserted. The newly opened silk and satin shop on the opposite side is getting more and more popular, and almost wins over all his customers. And the supplier of the silk and satin shop was actually the long rival of the Long family, the Qin family who had been suppressed by the Long family and could not turn over.
Not only that, but Long Yikui discovered that the Qin family had begun to break free from the shackles of the Long family, growing stronger little by little. Almost all the silk and satin merchants in the north have switched to buying from the Qin family. Even if the quality and variety of silk and satin from the Qin family is not as good as that of the Long family, even if the Long family lowers the price, they still cannot win over customers.
In the south of the Yangtze River, the business war between the Qin family and the Long family is in full swing... The Qin family has been oppressed by the Long family for so many years. If there is no one to support them, the Qin family will never develop so fast. Only then did Long Yikui realize that the more than ten million taels of silver could not calm the anger of Prince Xu's mansion, and the revenge of Prince Xu's son had just begun.
The business in Beijing was no longer suitable, so Long Yikui made a decision, took over the silk and satin shop, and disposed of the high-grade silk inside at a low price. Even if he kept the price so low that he couldn't cover his capital, no one was willing to buy it. If you take it back, it will cost a lot of transportation costs. In desperation, he made a sign to sell at a 30% discount. To be eaten by a strange guest.
When Long Yikui was finishing the shop, he inadvertently took a look at the Qin family's shop opposite, and found that the customer who bought all his goods was delivering goods to the other party's warehouse. Obviously, the piece of silk was purchased from him. What's even more irritating is that the Qin family put up a 50% off flash sale for a limited time, with a two-day deadline. The crowd on the opposite side was full of rush-buying customers, which formed a sharp contrast with the desertedness here.
That's not all. The business war between the Long family and the Qin family in the south of the Yangtze River is just the beginning. For a long time, the Long family has been in a desperate situation. The position of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River has already been handed over to others. The Long family also removed Long Yi as the head of the Kui Long family due to a major mistake in Jingzhong, and transferred Long Yixing from the fourth room to succeed him.
Although Long Yixing is talented, but the decline of the Long family is set, the only way for the strong man to cut off his wrists, cede some benefits, and ask someone to beg to the soft-hearted Princess Xu, so that the Long family will not be destroyed...
After Zhu Junyang came back from the expedition, he heard about this incident and praised his son severely, which also successfully attracted several big eyes from his wife.
