Mount Jingdong.
According to the Records of Mountains and Rivers in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, it was located in the eastern suburbs of Chang 'an City in the Tang Dynasty. It was a salt mountain.
At present, Tang Shi's technology wasn't good enough to extract salt from salt mines.
Some of the toxic minerals in it could not be removed, and if one ate it, they would be poisoned by potassium chloride-like substances.
However, Xiao Fan was not afraid.
Seeing that Xiao Fan was interested, Xiao Rui hurriedly followed suit and said excitedly,"One…no, three thousand strings, cheap, right? A mountain! It takes up a lot of space. Is 3,000 strings cheap? Your family is so rich, should you be able to take out three thousand strings?”
"Sister Wan 'er and the princess are both here.”
Xiao Rui's reminder was very vague.
If you're a real man, don't bargain!
Xiao Kai keenly understood his big brother's thoughts.
My brother…is so intelligent!
Xiao Fan was very straightforward and nodded,"Three thousand strings, but I don't have that much money."”
"We're all family. How many do you have?" Xiao Rui asked anxiously.”
Xiao Fan thought for a moment,"A thousand strings."”
"Deal! If it weren't for the fact that we're related, I, Xiao Rui, wouldn't sell it cheaply to anyone else. Is your cousin magnanimous?"
Xiao Fan nodded,"You can say that you're very generous. Alright, I'll sign a contract with you when we get back."”
How could that be?
If you knew that the mountain was stingy, would you still buy it?
Pa!
Xiao Rui slapped Second Brother and made him stagger." What are you looking at? Hurry up and get the pen. You brought the contract. Are you afraid that little cousin won't pay? Sign it now!"
After saying that, he chuckled and said to Xiao Fan,"It can't be helped. Our Xiao family's style has always been so swift and decisive.”
Xiao Fan was laughing in his heart.
How could he not know what these two were thinking? Xiao Fan nodded."Alright."
The contract was signed.
The Xiao brothers smiled knowingly.
"Your Big Cousin has a straightforward personality. Anyways, Little Cousin, I admire you!"”
Xiao Fan cupped his hands.
The Xiao brothers smiled happily and greeted Xiao Fan,"Let's go for a walk first."
The two of them walked further away.
Xiao Rui couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed out loud.
Xiao Kai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise,""Big brother, you're really amazing! If His Majesty wanted to trick us, we wouldn't be able to resist. But Big Brother, you earned a thousand strings of strings with just a flip of your hand. Tsk tsk, how happy!”
Xiao Rui looked up at the sky and said in a lonely voice," I am the only hero in the world. Who can match my wisdom?"”
"That's right! This little brother has learned a lot!"
……
"Haha." Li Wan looked at Xiao Fan with a faint smile.
"Wan 'er, your smile is so scary," Li Xinlan said in confusion.”
Li Wan crossed her arms and looked at Xiao Fan indifferently."That's right, you're laughing at a fool. A certain person surnamed Xiao was cheated and still helped to count money. Isn't this funny?”
What?
Li Xinlan turned pale with fright and looked at Li Wan anxiously.""What happened?"
Li Wan snorted." I'm afraid I don't know. Mount Jingdong is a salt mountain. No crops can be grown there. It's a land that doesn't have a single hair, but it costs a thousand strings of money. How sad!"”
"Wan 'er, did you know all along?" Li Xinlan said bitterly. Why didn't you remind Xiao Fan?"
Li Wan raised her eyebrows proudly and looked at Xiao Fan."Is your heart aching? It's not too late to go back on your word now, okay? Go back on your word!"
Xiao Fan rolled his eyes at Li Wan.
"It's alright. This mountain is not bad. We should be able to earn some money."”
"You're just going to slap your face till it's swollen!" Li Wan was furious.”
Li Xinlan quickly brought the Xiao brothers back.
"Refund?" Xiao Rui hurriedly shook his head." No, no, Princess Xiang Cheng. We are men who rule the world. What we pay attention to is integrity."”
He looked at Xiao Fan warily,"Little cousin, you signed the contract. Do you really want to withdraw?"”
Xiao Fan shook his head and said to Li Xinlan knowingly,"Alright, it's fine. I won't retreat."
" But that's obviously a mountain of salt," Li Xinlan hurriedly said." What's the point of buying it?"”
"What is it? Salt Mountain?" Xiao Rui said," Your Majesty actually rewarded us with a mountain of salt? We don't even know! This, this…Sigh!"
Xiao Fan almost could not hold back his laughter.
"Alright, I don't blame you for not knowing. I won't ask you for it back.”
Xiao Rui nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, then hurriedly pulled Xiao Kai and ran away.
……
Li Xinlan sighed and said to Xiao Fan,"Let's go over. Changle and the others are composing poems with the women of the five surnames.”
Xiao Fan nodded.
Just as the group of people reached a fence, a servant boy said,"Princess Xiang Cheng, Miss Wan Er, Young Master Xiao…please come in.”
"In this day and age, can any Tom, Dick, or Harry be called a Young Master?”
A cold snort came from not far away.
There was a hint of mockery and disdain in his voice.
Li Xinlan's brows furrowed slightly. Li Wan's expression changed immediately, revealing a look of anger.
Xiao Fan looked at the person who spoke and was a little puzzled, but he did not know who this man was.
"Young Master, why do you say that?"
Xiao Fan blurted out.
Li Xinlan was stunned for a moment before she covered her mouth and laughed.
Li Wan was stunned for a long time before she finally reacted and burst into laughter.
He held his stomach with one hand and patted Xiao Fan with the other.”
"Hahaha! Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can call you Young Master, why would Young Master say that…"
"You!"
The young master pointed at Xiao Fan, his face flushed red.
He had just said that "anything can be called young master", and Xiao Fan did not even think about it and replied,"Why would young master say that?"
Some people around him could not help but laugh. Even some of his companions behind him could not help but twitch their faces.
"What a vicious young man. Do you know who I am?”
What a familiar plot!
Xiao Fan could not help but raise his eyebrows and shake his head."I don't know. Who are you? Shouldn't you ask your father?”
F * ck!
Puff!
There were already many people standing around. At this moment, everyone burst into laughter.
The young master immediately reacted, and his face turned even redder.
His face twitched. He snorted coldly and walked forward, disappearing into the crowd.
……
They entered the fenced garden. There were many beautiful flowers planted inside.
Li Wan was still laughing.
"Haha, who are you? Shouldn't you ask your father? Haha."
At this moment, Xiao Fan felt a little ashamed to be with them.
A female general?
"Who is he?"
Xiao Fan asked.
"You don't know who he is and you dare to scold him like that?" Li Wan hurriedly said.”
"The eldest son of the Lu family of Fan Yang, Lu Binzhi.”
