Pirate Song

Chapter 71 Engagement

Although that kind of soap can be bought on the market now, the price is really not low. Even officials like him dare not buy and use it in large quantities. The last time Gao Huaiyuan came back, he brought a box with him.

He actually brought back two large boxes at once, enough to last his family for a year! How much does this cost?

Look at the sword that Gao Huaiyuan customized for him. Although it looks plain and simple, it is just a copper handle wrapped with a leather cord to prevent slipping. It still has a copper sword and a scabbard wrapped in sandalwood and deerskin, but

After pulling out the scabbard, Gao Jian discovered that the stabbing sword was definitely not made by an ordinary craftsman. The sword was gleaming with cold light and covered with textures like fish scales. It was definitely a good sword. Although he was a civil servant, he knew how to dance a sword.

He also likes to practice sword skills to strengthen his body. Unexpectedly, Gao Huaiyuan still remembered this and actually asked someone to make this sword specially for him. How could he not be happy!

What amazed him even more was the glazed tea set Gao Huaiyuan gave him. The transparent glazed tea bowl was as crystal clear as jade. He had only seen such things in a shop called Jubaozhai when he was on business in Lin'an.

, after asking about the price, even he was a little stunned. A vase cost hundreds of guan, and the tea set Gao Huaiyuan gave him was of far better quality than the glass vase, and it was worth more than a thousand guan!

Gao Jian became more and more frightened as he watched. Later, his hands started to tremble because he couldn't help but grabbed Gao Huaiyuan's wrist, pulled him into the study, closed the door, and asked Gao Huaiyuan sternly: "Sanlang! Tell the truth.

Dad, have you ever used your skills to do anything to rob someone? You can't hide it from Dad. You know that Dad often walks around the market. I know the prices of these things you gave to Dad.

Yes! These things you brought back on this trip are at least worth more than a thousand guan. Could it be that your money was picked up in vain?"

After Gao Huaiyuan was stunned for a moment, he suddenly remembered that it was hard to explain now. In his opinion, these things were nothing, but he ignored the value of these things in the market. Soap was okay, two boxes of soap were the most.

It is only worth a hundred thousand dollars, but the value of this glass tea set and that glass mirror is a bit shocking. No wonder Gao Jianhui was suddenly so nervous. It turned out that he had misunderstood himself and thought that he relied on his skills.

After engaging in the business of robbing houses, these things were robbed or stolen from wealthy people. After thinking about this, Gao Huaiyuan was really dumbfounded.

"This!... This..." Gao Huaiyuan was speechless, and for a moment he really didn't know how to answer.

"You... you are such a traitor! You... are you really doing those unprofitable businesses? How could I... I... how could I be such a traitor like you? You are really... really... kneel down to me

"Down! I...I..." When Gao Jian saw Gao Huaiyuan's expression, he misunderstood Gao Huaiyuan and thought that he had really been caught in the misfortune. Gao Huaiyuan must have been involved in illegal business. At least these things came from improper sources and were not spent.

Bought with money! For a moment, his energy and blood rushed to his heart, and he almost fainted. He wondered why he was so unlucky, and the sons he gave birth to were worse than the last. Now, even the third son he valued has become a thief! So Gao Jian

He cursed angrily and turned around to touch something, as if he wanted to punish Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan really couldn't laugh or cry. This misunderstanding seemed to be really big! Looking at Gao Jian's face flushed with anger, and then looking at his furious look, he was really afraid that Gao Jian couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly

He knelt down, took Gao Jian's hand and whispered: "Dad, calm down! Let Sanlang explain to you! Although the child is not talented, he has never done anything harmful to nature! Let alone do anything to rob families and homes! Dad, please

Listen to the explanation, kid!"

Gao Jian felt dizzy with anger. Hearing what Gao Huaiyuan said, he suppressed the anger in his heart, pointed at Gao Huaiyuan and said tremblingly: "Okay! Since you want to say it! Then tell me where you got it from.

these things!"

What a shame, Gao Huaiyuan! He had good intentions to please his father, but unexpectedly exposed himself. Now it seems that some of his secrets can no longer be hidden!

"Daddy, calm down! Things are not what dad thinks. The source of these things is absolutely clean! Not to mention soap, it is now available on the market. As for this glazed mirror and glazed tea set, let's not hide it from dad! This is what the child did unintentionally.

, the created utensils, it is this kind of thing that the child relies on to earn some family wealth. When he came back this time, he specially selected two pieces and specially gave them to his father. He just wanted to please his father! Unexpectedly, he let

Daddy misunderstood!" Gao Huaiyuan had to hide the truth behind his back.

After Gao Jian heard this, he was even more shocked. He didn't expect Gao Huaiyuan to actually say that this kind of glassware was created by him. Is this guy really his stupid boy Sanlang? How could he create such a beautiful thing?

Where's the stuff?

"Did you say that you created this kind of glassware?" Gao Jian took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and asked Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan saw the doubt on Gao Jian's face, so he replied: "Exactly! To be honest with dad, this thing was made by a child!"

Seeing the fearlessness on Gao Huaiyuan's face and the sincerity of his answers, Gao Jian then asked suspiciously: "Then tell me, how did you create such an object?"

After Gao Huaiyuan thought about it for a moment, he thought that it was really hard to answer. He couldn't tell his father that he was born in two lives and that his previous life was a person who traveled through the next life! So he started to make nonsense: "

This matter starts with the small porcelain kiln in our old house! After the child took over the old house, he saw that the porcelain kiln was basically unprofitable, so he wondered if he could think of a way to make the porcelain kiln more profitable, so the child

When I have nothing to do, I tinker in the porcelain kiln.

But the child didn't know how to make porcelain, so he tinkered around and fired things all day long. He mixed some things together at a time and put them in the kiln for firing. As a result, he failed to control the temperature of the kiln. When he came out of the kiln, the pot was burned.

Some things that I had never seen before came out, and these things seemed to have been burned and turned into a ball of transparent glass. After many attempts to bake them, I finally got this kind of glassware, and gradually began to make some things.

I also sold them, and gradually I began to have these things. Now the child can be considered a small wealthy person. This time he has not seen his father for two years, so he tried his best to come up with two such things.

I wanted to please my father, but unexpectedly my father misunderstood me!"

Gao Huaiyuan told Gao Huaiyuan nonsense, but he actually deceived Gao Jian. Gao Jian actually loved his son very much and didn't want his son to be a criminal. After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's explanation, he subconsciously...

He immediately chose to believe Gao Huaiyuan's explanation, so he felt relieved.

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's explanation, Gao Jian felt a little uneasy when he saw Gao Huaiyuan's face was serious and a little aggrieved. He also said goodbye to Sanlang. He was stupid before, but as the saying goes, stupid people have stupid blessings. He had nothing to do.

A porcelain kiln can actually produce such magical things. It seems that this is God's mercy on his life experience! So he stepped forward and quickly pulled Gao Huaiyuan up, making Gao Huaiyuan sit opposite him. After sighing, he said: "

It seems that my father has misunderstood you, Sanlang. As long as you did not rob your house and robbed these things, then your father will be relieved! You can understand filial piety so well, and I am very happy as a father!

Since you said that this object was made by you, then I will accept it as a father. If you have money in the future, it is better to save it for emergencies. Don’t spend it like this again! I accept your wish, but in the future you

Remember, you can have money, but you have to get it wisely and never commit crimes by relying on brute force! Otherwise, even if your father is an official of the imperial court, he won’t be able to protect you!

And you don’t have to do this kind of thing yourself in the future, find a trustworthy subordinate to do it for you. After all, being in business is not a long-term solution. No matter how rich a businessman is, he is not respected by the world! You still have to enter the official career.

It's the right way!

But I would like to remind you, now that you have mastered this kind of craftsmanship, you must remember not to leak the recipe, otherwise, the value of this kind of thing will plummet, and it will be difficult to make money!"

As Gao Jian spoke, he began to give instructions to Gao Huaiyuan. He was also a sensible person and knew the importance of trade secrets to businessmen. He told Gao Huaiyuan not to spread the formula and production method of this kind of glazed ware.

Otherwise, there will be no money to be made.

Gao Huaiyuan nodded repeatedly and thanked Gao Jian for his teachings. Although his face was serious, he was secretly laughing in his heart. There was no need for Gao Jian to explain this to him! He had already made his own arrangements, otherwise

, he would not have made so much wealth in the past two years, so that his strength has increased so quickly!

"I see that the villagers accompanying you are all talented people! They look very good, know the rules well, and have a bit of a soldier attitude!" After Gao Jian ignored this matter, he brought the topic to Sui Gao.

He was also a discerning person when it came to Li Ruohu and others who came back from Huaiyuan. He could tell at a glance that Li Ruohu and others were skilled people. They were very imposing in their movements and looked like they had been trained on the battlefield.

"Dad is really well-informed! These villagers are all the villagers who accompanied me on the expedition. They have seen some markets and are loyal to the children. Thanks to them on this journey, otherwise it would not be like this.

We arrived here smoothly! The world is really unstable now, and there are quite a lot of thieves! We encountered several waves of thieves, but they were all driven back by us in the end!" Gao Huaiyuan did not hide anything from Gao Jian, and then replied

.

"These are troubled times! The Song and Jin countries are at war with each other now. There will be some strong men in the south, and it is normal for the road to be uneven! If you go back to Daye this time, you can go back by water. After all, water is safer!" Gao Jian

Nodding and sighing.

At this time, a servant came over to inform Gao Jian that the food and wine were ready, and invited Gao Jian and Gao Huaiyuan to sit down. Gao Jian then took Gao Huaiyuan to the side hall to eat. Gao Huaiyuan asked Li Ruohu to fetch a small bowl from the car.

The jar of wine was placed on the table.

"Today I specially prepared Shaoxing's good wine for you. You and I, father and son, have a good drink. Now that you have grown up, it's not okay for men not to drink! There is no good wine in Daye, so today we will

Drink Shaoxing wine!" Gao Jian was very interested and brought a jar of wine and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

At this family dinner, Gao Jian knew that Gao Huaiyuan was not on the right terms with the people at home, so he did not ask anyone to come over to accompany him. It was just Gao Huaiyuan and him. It was more convenient to talk this way.

Gao Huaiyuan smiled and opened the small wine jar, and a strong aroma of wine suddenly filled every corner of the room. Gao Jian was just saying that Daye had no good wine, but when he smelled the aroma of wine, he wrinkled his nose.

, took two strong sniffs and exclaimed: "What kind of wine is this? Why does it smell so fragrant? Good wine! Good wine!"

Gao Jian was involved in official circles and drank fine wine all day long. He was an absolutely knowledgeable person. He was immediately attracted by the rich aroma of wine and reached out to take the little boy from Gao Huaiyuan's hand.

He put the wine jar under his nose and took a few strong sniffs.

"This is a child who specially honors his father. The name of this wine is Shenxianzui. It is a unique wine of a company called Zuixianlou. There is no other wine on the market that can match it. This wine has a mellow taste, an unusually sweet taste, and is extremely

It's hot, and this jar of wine is still the top, which is even more rare! Dad, can you taste it and see how it tastes?" Gao Huaiyuan was a little proud. He made such a fine wine by accident. How could it be considered a masterpiece?

What a gift!

After Gao Jian heard this, his brows jumped and he smiled happily: "Drunken gods! I have heard of this! The day before yesterday, when the magistrate and we were chatting, he mentioned this kind of wine and said that a friend came specially from Ezhou to give it to him.

I brought a small pot of this wine. It tastes so sweet, but it's just too little for us to taste together. I didn't expect you to bring it to me today! Haha! I want to taste this.

Got it!"

After saying that, he quickly poured himself a large glass and brought it to his mouth. When Gao Huaiyuan quickly wanted to drink slowly, Gao Jian raised his neck impatiently and poured a large glass into his mouth.

in.

As a result, Gao Huaiyuan's eyes suddenly changed when he saw Gao Jian's face, and his eyes seemed to be angry. It took him a long time to hear him make a gulp, swallowed the drink, then opened his mouth and breathed: "Ha...

Ha...God! This wine is so strong! I almost choked on it! Ahem...good wine...ahem..."

Gao Huaiyuan quickly stepped forward and beat Gao Jian's back. It took Gao Jian a long time to regain his strength, and he said with lingering fear: "This wine is so sweet, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! I accidentally drank it as ordinary wine."

, no wonder I choked! It’s such a good wine! This wine can only be found in heaven, it’s rare to smell it in the world!”

Gao Huaiyuan sat down again, filled another glass of wine for Gao Jian, and said with a smile: "If father wants to drink in the future, the child will often find a way to be given some by father. However, this kind of wine cannot be drunk like other wines, as it will hurt the child.

It’s good for your health, and it has great stamina. Drink a little less every time, which can not only make you happy but also keep you healthy! This time, the child brought a few jars to daddy, which is enough for daddy to drink alone for some time!"

Gao Jian still didn't know the rareness of this wine, so he nodded and said: "Yes, Sanlang is a filial son! I feel so relieved that you are thinking about your father and me! Come on, let's drink! This is my special order. The bad duck prepared for you, try how it tastes!"

As they talked, the two started eating and drinking while talking and laughing. Gao Huaiyuan enjoyed this scene very much. For the first time in this world, he truly experienced the deep fatherly love transmitted from Gao Jian. , he has always felt that apart from friends, he has no family ties at all in this world, but after these few years, Gao Jian finally showed his care for himself. This kind of fatherly love is his Such a person is hard to find, so he enjoyed this time very much and felt that this trip was not in vain.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Gao Jian felt a little drunk. He held the glass and said, "It seems that what you said is true. This kind of wine is indeed very powerful. You can't drink it as hard as other wines. After drinking this After planting wine, drinking other wines is really like chewing meat. It seems that if I want to drink this kind of wine in the future, I really have to rely on you to honor me!

Sanlang is already sixteen this year! I remember you were born in March. I am an incompetent father! I haven’t celebrated your birthday yet!

However, at your age, you have reached the age of marriage. Before you came back this time, your father found a girl from a family for you and planned to give you a wife. When you come back this time, take advantage of the New Year to settle this matter first. Come down here and wait until next year when your affairs are settled, then I will marry you, and then you can relax!"

Gao Huaiyuan was originally happy and drinking with Gao Jian, but after hearing Gao Jian's words, he stood up as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his pocket.

"No...! Dad! The child is still young and has accomplished nothing yet. How can he get a wife? Thank you for your kindness, dad. I'd rather leave this matter aside for the time being!" Gao Huaiyuan immediately objected.

Gao Jian raised his eyelids and looked at Gao Huaiyuan, but he laughed: "Sanlang, look at you. You are half a head taller than my father and I. At your age, there are many people who marry and have children. What's more, the woman your father is looking for for you this time is also a woman from a wealthy family. She is well-educated and sensible. She is also sixteen years old this year, which matches your birth date very well. Her grandfather was once an important minister in the court, and her family background is quite good. If you marry her, it will be of great benefit to your future career. No one else can find such a good thing. It is also your blessing that they can agree to your father's proposal, so why should you refuse?"
