It's almost thirty, even the poorest people in the family will try to get some good things as much as possible to give hope for the coming year.
The merchants of the Zhangwang family and the Zhuangzi were the happiest. The master family came back and was able to watch the night together. The people of Sanshui County were also happy. There is a big fish in each family, no matter how high or low it is, just the Zhang family gave it.
The people in Luzhou were equally happy. The new governor did not cause trouble. He followed the rules of the good officials. He never exceeded half a point. This year's Thirty Years can be said to be the most lively episode.
One by one looks forward to coming soon, and the slaughter of pigs and chickens is busy.
But not all of them are like this. The Ning family in Qinzhou is worried now. There is money for the New Year, and there is no shortage of things, and they have made a lot of money some time ago, but it is precisely because of this money that they are trapped. In trouble.
"Intentionally, the Zhang family must have done it deliberately. They knew that we would follow them to imitate furniture and sell it to the rich and powerful. I want to impeach him, even before I leave, I counted on me."
Ning Zhong didn't have to do anything anymore. He took a rest during the New Year. Sitting in the study room, there were questioning posts on the beautiful table.
The contents are basically the same, asking him where the goods came from and why are they counterfeit furniture? How much did it cost when it was purchased? Do you know that the goods are fake
The butler was standing beside him. He had also read the post. At this moment, he had no thoughts and responsibility on who would fall on him. He only sighed in his heart for the Zhang family's methods.
In the past, Zhang's family also sold furniture, but never went to Qinzhou, and directly sent someone to find a way to deliver it to the person who bought it. This time, before leaving, they sent a lot of furniture to go overland from Qinzhou.
It must be stopped. The furniture is very beautifully made, and the paint color on it is so charming. There are also design drawings. The function of each part is written out, and there are extra stamps of the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce. Proof document.
Anyone needs to be tempted to change this. With so many certification documents, why not fake it based on the drawings? As a result, the people of the Ning family agreed and drove away the people escorted by the Zhang family, leaving everything behind, and then hired craftsmen to create furniture that met the number of redundant documents based on the drawings.
Some are given away, and some are sold to the surrounding dignitaries. The name of the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce is displayed there. It can be said to be a big profit, and even fake stamps are made according to the imprint on the document.
I don’t think Zhang’s family would release the news before they arrived in the capital, saying that there were a lot of counterfeit furniture, and tell them where they were, so that the buyer would pay attention to it when they bought it.
This time the mark appears on the certificate document. Each document is different. There is a special pattern on the place that is not easy to be noticed. Turn the furniture over, or open the drawer if there is a drawer. You can find the same mark as on the document.
But the intercepted Zhang's furniture has no marks on it, and the same is true on the documents. Isn't this a cheating
It’s bad, it’s too bad. It seems that this batch of furniture doesn’t have to be sold at all, but it was specially prepared for the Ning family. The people who bought it were angry. After spending the money, they didn’t say anything. As a result, friends waited to see it and had to be accepted by others. Laughing, I don't even have the face to see people when I go out.
The person who is given the furniture is more angry than the person who buys it, and the person who can give the furniture is a simple one? If you use fakes, you know you have been cheated, but those who don't know think that they are reluctant to spend money on genuine ones, and use fake ones at a cheap price to fill the storefront.
Even if people know that they have been deceived, that would be shameful. It means that such a good thing is not understandable by the deceived person. Their identity is not suitable for using such furniture and has little background.
This is also too close to the New Year, and there is no time to come in person, so people can only send posts. After the New Year is over, then it may not be what happened.
Seeing the master slap the fake table vigorously, the butler hesitated and said, "Master, or let's return the money to others, and buy a few more sets and send them to the house that was given away for free. We can't use ours. Buy it in name, or you should be deceived again."
"It's late, the buyer can say, just lose money, can the sender still ask for it? They won't buy the real one by themselves? I hate Zhang Zhong, and I want to impeach him for counterfeiting."
Ning Zhong knew very well that this was a set given to him by the Zhang family, and he did not complain about his family's decision. Anyone who replaced this kind of set would have to use it.
He said that he was going to be impeached, but he didn’t even mean to write. The thing is, the furniture delivered by Zhang’s family didn’t say sell, it was just shipped. When that happens, people can say that it’s bad goods and they need to be destroyed or sent to the dealer. What.
If you really stabbed things up, they would ask themselves why they were blocking other people's goods, which was just a ridicule.
Besides, it’s not that he impeaches Zhang Zhong or not, but does anyone want to impeach his Ning family? The Ning family is a family, there are officials, some in business, impeaching the Ning family for fraudulent goods and deceiving people, plus a few things in the past. , It is very likely that he was also tired.
The housekeeper didn’t worry about being held accountable. He lowered his head and looked at his toes until he felt that the master was less angry. Then he said, “Master, why don’t you give it to the furniture? The Ning family also kept a lot of them, and it was useless for a while to put them in their hands."
"Why is it useless? The tortoiseshell is useless, but Jiaxiang is a medicinal material, and it is also a precious incense thing that is usually used. For more than a year, there is no income, not to mention, I have been collecting money, and the outside business has come back. I have to take things out again, and within two years, the Ning family will be finished."
Ning Zhong felt more and more distressed as he thought about it. Money is all money. Which one does it need to be sent to? Otherwise, don't stand up for the front, and have less contact with other big families, or you have to be like others.
"Just do what you said, isn't Luzhou coming to a new governor? Ask someone over to discuss it and ask him if he can get local tribute cheaply. Cao and Rui have not heard from the three for a long time, I know. Where did you go? Since it's not a judge, it's time for them to pay back the money."
In Ningzhong, one hundred people were unwilling to give away the good things in their homes, and suddenly thought of three people with IOUs. They were no longer worthwhile, and they should do something else.
The housekeeper really knew this, nodded, and replied: "Master, I heard that the three families and Liu Shaoqing's family have gone to the newly discovered island. They have to help in the local affairs. Do you need to send someone to catch them? They come back and pay off their debts. It's justified."
"Zhang Zhong is a villain, do you know? I don't want to let them go until now. The days on Daozi must be difficult. It's New Year. If you don't mention this, you go to arrange gifts. How are your preparations for the new year?"
Ning Zhong really couldn't find a way to deal with Zhang Zhong. He could only take advantage of the language and attribute Zhang Zhong to a villain.
"Master, don't worry, the new year's goods have already been arranged at home, and the younger one will go." The housekeeper had no time to care about any gentleman and villain, and he hurried away after replying.
There is no hope in his heart to contact the new governor. Luzhou is already a monolithic one, and no one wants to move.
…
Zhang Xiaobao, who had pitted the Ning family once, had already left the calculations behind his head. He didn't care if he wasn't a heavyweight.
He and Wang Juan are accompanying Zhang Lao and Bi Lao to go fishing. The two old men will also find a place, in the most beautiful pavilion between the water and clouds. The specially raised earthworms have a stove next to them, boiled water on them, and there are tea bowls and melon seeds on the table.
The two seem to be very leisurely and don't care about anything. No matter if Old Man Zhang is still in love, he is alone, and he can go anywhere.
But it was wrong for Old Man Bi to do this. He still had his family. He didn't care about it. He even told his family that he didn't have to work, and waited for thirty to go to the village to eat and drink.
What is this called
"Little treasure, why haven't you caught any fish until now? Isn't there a lot of fish in the lake?"
Old Man Bi waited for a quarter of an hour, and saw that the fish hadn't caught the bait yet, so he took the hook back and looked at the dying earthworm on it and asked Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao, the fish of his own family, doesn’t know why. The fish don’t eat any bait thrown outside. They have fish food to feed tourists. A packet of fish food for five cents is usually not fed. Tourists think If you want to see fish, just buy it and sprinkle it.
What's more, it's cold now, the two old men are fishing in the shade, and the current is still relatively anxious, so they want to catch them in a different direction.
I knew in my heart that Zhang Xiaobao was just about to say it, but he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Today, I shouldn’t have run to the pavilion with the cuckoo. There is something wrong with the old man. I guess I will find an excuse to say, just like before, what One fish is full, the other fish are still hungry.
As a result, I tried to find a way to help the people of Sanshui County find something to do so that more fish could be fed.
Looking at Wang Juan, Wang Juan turned his head away unjustly, which meant he was able to stand it up.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Xiaobao said: "Grandpa Bi, is it too cold? Don't fish love to come out? You can try another place where the sun can get."
Zhang Xiaobao feels that this answer doesn't seem to be related to other aspects. It really needs to be related. It is also a matter of cotton clothes. He is already working hard to grow cotton, and I think Old Man Bi will not use this as a breakthrough.
It's a pity that Old Man Bi is not Ning Zhongze. He was a third-class member at the beginning, and he has held many important positions. He is qualified to compete with Zhang Xiaobao for a longer period of time, and he has taken the initiative to attack again.
Sure enough, Old Man Bi looked at Zhang Xiaobao appreciatively. He understood Zhang Xiaobao's flirtatious words and wanted to turn the matter away, but that didn't work.
"Xiaobao is right, Xiaobao, I found that you are getting smarter. It's cold, fish don't like to move, and so are people, right?"
"Really?" Zhang Xiaobao realized that things were a little out of his control, and then continued: "I'm stupid. Grandpa Bi and Grandpa Zhang taught me well."
"Why not? As soon as winter comes, the people in the north usually don't do things like fish, but... Fish don't know how to wear clothes, but people know how to wear more clothes. You know this when you want to come to Xiaobao."
Old Man Bi continued.
"Clear, clear, people know to wear clothes, Grandpa Bi, the water is ready, I will make tea for you and Grandpa Zhang, this tea is good, Chuzhou jasmine, and the sunflower seeds, the taste is strong but not salty, moist and not sticky …" Zhang Xiaobao felt that he would have to pay more if he didn't change the subject.
