Chapter 155: The tortoise has a long life

Views:

Facing Renzong's shameless words, Yunyan called back: "What do you call your green-haired turtle, don't forget, it's mine now!"

There was a hint of embarrassment on Renzong's face, but he insisted: "...Let's take a look!"

"..." Yun Yan replied suspiciously, "You don't want to regret it, do you? I already gave it to me. Seeing that it can make more green turtles, I want to snatch it back? A country is yours, you don't want to Grab a profit with me, a commoner, right?"

"Hmph, sophistry and sophistry, you used the name bestowed by the royal royal family to deceive you. I haven't told you about you yet, but I'm too embarrassed to bother with me." Renzong said with a stern face.

Naturally, he wouldn't believe that auspiciousness is coming from the sky. If it was true, would Yun Yanhui be able to report back to him without hesitation

In addition, he knew that Yun Yanhui and a cousin of the Zheng family rented a house, so how could he not know that he was just cheating money.

As an emperor, Renzong's head is still very clear, unlike those citizens who prefer to listen to stories. Now this story has spread quickly in Bianjing, and it is spread like a god.

Renzong didn't care how he did business, and the rumors in the market were very favorable to him, but Yun Yanhui must have deliberately guided him in this direction. Renzong just wanted to know how he managed to turn an ordinary turtle into a green-haired turtle.

This incident really subverted Renzong's cognition.

Could it be that those green hairs are all pasted? Or is it not really green hair at all? What method did you use

Yun Yanhui originally planned to come and report to Renzong. Seeing that he had already exposed his own marketing methods, he sneered: "The official family is wise, it's all yours to take care of... What, in fact, I just found the green-haired turtle on the back. The green hair on the turtle is a kind of algae, and then I studied how to plant it on the turtle's back..."

Renzong: "..."

Renzong was stunned, "Is this so? Sure enough, although this tortoise has a long life, it is not auspicious."

"The official said it was auspicious, so it is." Yun Yanhui hurriedly answered.

"You think about it, right?" Ren Zong glanced at Yun Yan and looked back, this flattery was too obvious, and now everyone is saying that it is because of his good governance, so the auspiciousness is descended from heaven.

Yun Yan smiled back a few times, but did not speak.

"I really don't know how you came up with it..." Renzong muttered again.

"I just observe more carefully than others." Yun Yanhui said.

Renzong took it seriously, if it wasn't for Yun Yan to observe carefully, how could he have come up with this method.

Although Renzong knew the inside story, some people didn't, and deeply believed the rumors—that the green-haired turtle in the imperial garden changed all the other turtles!

Yun Yanhui's auction was very successful, and the first batch of green-haired turtles sold for a high price, which was even higher than the price of ordinary wild green-haired turtles. And the story behind this green turtle makes them more visible than ever.

In the past, only people who like pets would pay attention, but now, many people are discussing it, which makes the pet turtle market more popular to a certain extent.

The 20 people who bought the first batch also counted the limelight and were very proud.

At this time, some people in the market thought, why don't they steal the green turtle, so that they can secretly raise a lot of green turtles, there is no need for such a high-profile auction, as long as one is sold every other time, this I've been worrying about food and clothing for the rest of my life.

- No, let alone food and clothing, you can live as you wish.

Under the attraction of such huge profits, this group of people really went to Yunyan's home to steal the green turtle, which was right next to Kaifeng Mansion, and Yun Yanhui himself was from Kaifeng Mansion.

These people came for several days in a row, and they all failed because Yun Yanhui's stepfather and sister were at home.

Until a certain day, Yun Yan returned the turtle to Zheng Ling, because Zheng Ling had agreed with his colleagues that he would get the turtle to paint in order to commemorate this auspicious event.

So, those people stole the turtle while it was with Zheng Ling!

After Zheng Ling found out, he was so anxious that he hurried to find Yun Yan back.

"What, it was stolen," Yun Yan froze for a moment, "Who is so bold?"

Are you crazy? His tortoise dares to steal

"It's okay, don't worry, just pretend it never happened." Yun Yanhui said calmly.

"But, that turtle was bestowed by the emperor after all..." Although they didn't rely on the turtle to make the green-haired turtle, it still had some meaning.

"You haven't started painting yet, have you? It's fine if you haven't. Find another one that's bigger." Yun Yan replied, "The officials themselves don't necessarily remember what the tortoise looked like. Which one is it?"

"Also, the green-haired turtle still has to be found." Yun Yan thought about it, but still couldn't let those thieves go.

In fact, those thieves were excited to buy ten tortoises, put them together with the green-haired turtle, and then shook hands and hugged each other, "We will be rich soon!"

According to legend, as long as the first half a month, these turtles will have significant changes and grow green hair.

So, this group of people stared at these turtles every day in addition to eating and sleeping.

However, from the looks of it, the turtles don't seem to have changed at all. On the contrary, they are about to grow hair on their own.

A month has passed, and the turtles are still slippery on their backs, and not a single hair has grown!

"How can this be, why is there no long hair?"

They are going to collapse, why? Why no hair? !

Could it be that the green-haired turtle loses its auspicious effect when it gets into their hands

At this time, some people began to suggest that it would be better to sell this turtle, so as to make a little money.

However, other people feel that maybe they are just a little dull, or they use the wrong water, feed the wrong food, etc. What if they sell it, others can play auspiciousness? Wouldn't that be so regretful that he vomited blood.

The two groups quarreled, quarreled, and fought again.

As a result, after flipping the table, the water tank was also broken, and the turtles fell out. !

Everyone: "… "

They looked at each other in horror, not knowing what to do.

The tortoise is dead, and the dream of making a fortune is shattered!

Just then, someone knocked on the door outside.

One person thought about whether it was takeout, so he went to open the door. Who knew that as soon as the door opened, a group of Kaifeng government officials rushed in and surrounded them.

"Oh, I finally found you." Yun Yanhui walked in.

He hasn't been idle this month, and he has been asking around, wanting to know who it is, and he was so bold that he stole his imperial tortoise.

These people looked at the battle at the moment, and knew that it was difficult to fly, and then looked at the dead tortoise, and maliciousness arose in their hearts.

"Even if you catch us, this auspicious auspiciousness won't survive, it's already dead!"

Yun Yan gave a wicked smile, "You don't have to worry about this."

These thieves were all caught in Kaifeng Mansion Prison and sentenced according to law.

At the same time, this matter also spread out.

However, many people don't know that the turtle is dead - after all, Zheng Ling is still taking orders for custom green turtles. They thought that Yun Yanhui had retrieved the tortoise in time.

This matter was rumored to be a bit mysterious, that is, the auspicious tortoise thief could not steal it. If it was stolen, it would be very unlucky. Drinking cold water will be stuck in the teeth, and finally caught.

The beginning and the end are very similar to the stories in Romance legends, and this story, because of the imprisonment of those thieves, seems to have some credibility.

How did the spectators know that the real auspicious auspiciousness had been seated back to the west, and then was buried by Yunyan back.

And those who stole the tortoise heard about this in prison, and they were even more stunned. What, the tortoise is obviously dead, how can it be still alive, and can continue to turn other tortoises into green-haired turtles? !

As for this question, Yun Yanhui also wished them to come up with it during their imprisonment. IQ is a good thing, it's a pity they don't.

Yun Yanhui and Zheng Ling's green-haired turtle business is progressing steadily, and it is expected that it will take another year and a half before they can expand the market to other places, even foreign countries.

For example, in Liao, Yun Yanhui is still very interested in earning foreign exchange.

Zheng Ling can be responsible for management matters. His family has always had his own business and can give him a lot of help, including sales channels in various places in the future.

Yun Yan only needs to come up with a marketing plan, and then lie down and collect the money.

In addition, the little tiger had already arrived in Guizhou, and he wrote a letter back, and he was sent to Yunyan to return here, and he dictated it, and the Han teacher who brought it in the past handwritten it.

Yun Yan looked back at the letter, and the little tiger first said in it that after he went back, his father and mother paid more attention to him than before, and accompanied him almost every day, which made him much happier.

Moreover, Father and Mother are also grateful and curious to Brother Yan, and hope to have the opportunity to thank him in person in the future.

However, there is only one bad point, that is, Guizhou is not as convenient as Bianjing.

After staying in the prosperous Bianjing, the little tiger couldn't satisfy what he wanted to eat and play, which made him a little depressed.

At the back of the letter, there is also a handwritten painting of Little Tiger, which is Yun Yanhui and himself drawn by him. Although the lines are naive, the feeling of pure nostalgia is also touching.

Yun Yan was very moved when she saw it. After thinking about it, she wrote down a thick recipe, as well as a transcript of those children's stories, and sent it to the little tiger, so that people could make him some food and read some stories to him. He listened, and talk is better than nothing.

Now the princess and Zheng Ping are very close, and when Yun Yan returned to do these things, Zheng Ping told the princess when they were chatting.

The princess had always liked Yun Yanhui very much, and when she heard that he was so attentive—if the princess knew the word “nuan man,” she would definitely use it—in her heart, she felt that this child was a good one.

The princess said to Zheng Ping: "I think Brother Yan is not too young. If you like children so much, you can give birth to one of your own. You can also have a grandson. For Yundi's sake, I have seen many ladies. I think about it, there is something suitable for Brother Yan..."

Zheng Ping sighed, "Don't bother, Brother Yan has a big idea, he only wants to see each other, he has to agree with him."

The princess smiled, "Why must I choose not to my liking? He is very close to brother Chu, I will ask brother Chu what kind of lady he likes, just look for it."
