Chapter 3: The Xibo Marquisate is barren
Yes, it is!
Liu Ping's lips trembled, standing in place unable to move a step
Swish
Are you sick? Isn't it a good thing that I, the young master, do not engage with you?
Then pay the money three days later. By the way, if you cannot raise enough funds, just exchange it for cotton and grain.
The lord's collection must be valuable
Meanwhile, his hand was still mischievously playing with the soft hair of Yun Niang.
That would naturally be the young master
Could you grant me a few more days? This sum of over 300,000 taels of silver will require some time for us at the Chang'an pawnshop to gather.
Why don't you touch me anymore
Shut up!
Yun Niang's face instantly turned bright red, and she kicked her calves wildly
When the master is away, who holds the highest authority in the residence
Seeing that there was no way out, Cai Gou quickly turned around and went into the room to write a letter to inform Qi Longsheng
With a chuckle, Qi Tian has already envisioned what he would look like after becoming wealthy
Young master, the store is closed in the evening. How about looking for it again tomorrow morning
Sell off the assets
Qi Tian did not even raise his eyes, accepting losses as they come; as long as money is given, it is fine, after all, there will still be profits to be made
Qi Tian has always been outrageous, but today it has reached a new level of absurdity
No problem, just finish the calculation quickly and pay!
However, as soon as I entered the room, I discovered that even my own room was in disarray, with the luxurious bed reduced to nothing but a board.
... ...
That is excellent
This is the total price, please take a look
Alright!
Liu Ping stood to the side, unable to bear to look directly.
fragrant, soft
Mr. Qi, what is this ... ... ?
A group of servants in the residence was also awakened by the commotion outside and stopped to watch in the courtyard
Really
Liu Ping, go and call the pawnbroker over to appraise my family's property!
Li Dian was filled with wild joy
Liu Ping could not help but tremble in his heart and quickly intervened
What does the young master intend to do
As long as it is sold by Qi Tian, Li Dian will accept it, as it is a normal transaction
Today, no one is allowed to touch anything from my Xibo Marquis Mansion
This person, Qi Tian, is acquainted with Li Dian from the pawnshop in Chang'an, who is a very shrewd businessman
... ...
However, Qi Tian did not experience any delays and swiftly completed the transaction
Alright, brothers, let's get started
Yes, it is valuable
Yun Niang looked at him with considerable surprise
Oh, I see, you should have said so earlier
Cut
It is considered normal for a lord of this rank to have a fief of 7,500 acres.
Liu Ping had no choice but to nod, while also subtly signaling to Cai Gou with his eyes
Moving is possible, everything can be moved
If you don't follow orders, and if I get so angry that I fall ill again, can you bear the responsibility
After completing all tasks, Qi Tian returned to his room to prepare for rest
Ah!
Upon opening the box, Qitian saw that the land deed stated seven thousand five hundred acres
Only three hundred thirty thousand taels of silver?
Young master, please don't!
In the distance, Cai Gou, upon hearing that the master’s bed was no longer safe, let out a gasp of anger and fainted on the ground
Alright
Sell
Indeed, as the eldest son of the Xibo Marquisate, your generosity is truly remarkable
Is that golden silk nanmu tree in the backyard valuable
Li Dian was lost in thought and looked towards Qi Tian
After searching for half a day, I finally found a land deed hidden under the bed
You speak
Yun Niang was still confined in the room, like a resentful woman
Qi Tian looked astonished, reaching out to embrace Yun Niang's supple waist
The market price for one mu of land is twenty taels of silver, which is quite a lot for you. How about...
Liu Ping, who was beside him, quickly offered his advice
Shall we begin the move then
Before Li Dian could start bargaining, Qi Tian spoke up himself
According to your eighteen taels, hurry up
I would like to ask you something
Lying on their sides, Qi Tian and Yun Niang locked eyes and slowly began to speak
In one night's time, Qi Tian sold off his assets and successfully realized the plan to strip the Xibo Marquisate bare
Found the last remaining blanket, Qi Tian spread it on the ground
Wouldn't the master be furious!
At that moment, Li Dian suddenly whispered a remark
Without the slightest hesitation, Qi Tian led Li Dian into Qi Longsheng's room
Qi Tian extended his hand, and Li Dian hesitated for a moment before saying
The leader is a young and capable young man
Alright ... ...
Oh, indeed, let's make the payment!
Li Dian immediately nodded
Mr. Qi, do you still have land at home? Have you considered selling it together?
The old thing is quite deep in Tibet, even selling his bed!
Li Dian's mouth is about to smile crookedly
Yun Niang's small face flushed with embarrassment
What is your name, weren't you the one who let me in?
At this point, under the coercion of his lewd and tyrannical demeanor, the members of the Xibo Marquisate finally dared not utter a word
In an instant, Yun Niang felt a surge of panic in her heart, her heartbeat quickening
It does not matter what ancestors or forefathers there are, what is important is that I, as a young person, get married
It is already quite a lot, and I believe it may be due to the fact that you, Mr. Qi, have spent too much previously
Qi Tian frowned impatiently
You can sleep here, I will sleep on the floor
Qi Tian reached down to pick up the blanket from the floor and placed it on the bed
Hmph, come here, you have bought me, I cannot let you sleep on the floor all the time
Li Dian waved his hand, and several associates from the pawnshop behind him immediately stepped forward to begin the appraisal
Liu Ping went out for a stroll, and today the turmoil at home has not subsided; in the blink of an eye, it is already the hour of Zi.
Before long, a group of people appeared before Qi Tian
Mr. Qi, are you sure? This is urgent, and regarding the price... it will be lower!
Cai Gou directly knelt on the ground and hugged Qi Tian's thigh, wailing
Young master, do not be foolish! If you sell off the family assets, how will I explain it to the master? You will also have no face to meet your ancestors
Li Dian does not care about much; as long as it can make money, he will take it on.
Qi Tian sat beside, crossing his legs leisurely while sipping tea
Thud
Since Qi Tian has become the son of the Duke of Xibo, there is no reason to wait for others
... ...
Sigh...
Ancestors, what a sin!
Hurry up
Good
Upon seeing the crowd whispering among themselves, Qi Tian suddenly let out a roar
Li Dian greeted everyone and began by moving the larger items out of the door
I asked you to go to bed and rest, not to share a blanket with you
With an unflinching demeanor, Qi Tian naturally burrowed into the bedding
Sleep
It's nothing, he's just an old man, just pull it open
Cai Gou immediately pounced, baring his teeth to protect the furniture in the hall
The pawnshop in Chang'an usually handles a variety of goods, with a considerable accumulation of items such as grain and cotton.
Are these valuable
Qitian looked at her in silence, wasn't it also Yunniang who just mentioned biting her tongue to end her life
Turning his head, he saw that there were still quite a few calligraphies, paintings, and antiques in Qi Longsheng's room
Yun Niang hesitated for a moment, and the sudden invitation surprised Qi Tian
The Duke of Xibo has fought in battles for many years, and although Qi Tian does not seek his father's greed for wealth, he should at least take care of himself a little
Young master, this...!
It is uncertain whether it is due to Ye Ning's words having an effect
Can't you call out?
Qi Tian is not unwilling to return it; anyway, as long as the plan succeeds, everything lost can be exchanged back at several times the price.
Mr. Qi, what are you trying to accomplish here?
Li Dian, you have taken all the things from our home; calculate how much silver they can be exchanged for
Is it you who caused this, young master?
Sell
Young master ... ... cannot dare to sell the family estate
