Chapter 246

Since it is Mid-Autumn Festival, gift-giving sessions are always unsavory.

But this is not someone's birthday, so the gifts given by girls from each family are not too expensive.

In ancient festivals, you either didn’t give it to them. Once you gave it to them, all the elders would give it one. It was too expensive and no one could afford it.

Or, I can't bear to...

Others' families were accompanied by children and kowtowed to the old men and ladies in the hall, and the whole family was lively.

But Chen Buer is not an authentic son-in-law. As an unmarried girl, it is impossible for Pan Mingyue to kneel down with her fiancé. According to the etiquette, she just followed her parents and watched Chen Buer's one-sided show.

So when she saw Chen Buer's embarrassed, helpless and weak look, she felt a sense of teasing happiness in her heart.

When it was Chen Buer's turn to salute, Pan Chuanyue jumped out first:

"Seventh Master, what gift are you giving me? This new son-in-law has to perform well for the first time in the Pan family's Guining. The gift is too light, it's not good~~~~"

This is a bit like roasting Chen Buer on the fire.

Although other people's rituals are not particularly expensive, they are worth hundreds or even thousands of taels.

But now everyone believes that after the Chen family searched the house, they are already in debt all over the world, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to eat. If you really want to give gifts, what good things can you give?

Pan Chuanyue's words consciously wanted Chen Buer to make a fool of himself.

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. This has nothing to do with family tutoring. Whether a person is inherently good or evil at the beginning has not been concluded for thousands of years.

Chen Buer scratched his head now. He didn't know what his mother had prepared for him.

Because this is a family gathering and it is not a formal gift gift, so there is not even a gift list. How could Chen Buer know what is in the box?

The styles of ancient people and modern people are different. Westerners will dismantle gifts on the spot, and then, regardless of whether they are sincere or false, they will pretend to be exaggerated and look surprised.

In ancient times, if you put out gifts in front of guests, it would be extremely rude and would not be ridiculed to death.

But others are a problem, is Chen Buer a problem?

"Second sister, I really prepared a gift for my grandparents, uncles and aunts, and wait for me. Brother Pan, please take a few servants to the carriage with me to pick it up."

Chen Buer ran out in a flash, Pan Mingguang and a few servants ran out, and soon, boxes of gifts were carried in.

Pan Chuanyue looked at it and snorted. The bigger the gift, the better? It depends on your preciousness.

So she walked over casually, quietly opened one of the boxes, and then stared at it.

The other sisters were stunned when they saw her, and couldn't help but run over with curiosity. When they saw that they all looked bright.

I saw a lilac marten coat in the box, with its shiny luster and thick and fluffy hair all revealing its elegance and luxury.

The Pan family was all knowledgeable, and then they heard Pan Liangyue exclaim: "Is this a sable fur coat? Good."

In ancient times, wearing a mink coat was definitely a symbol of identity and wealth, and ordinary people could not afford it. It started with hundreds of taels of silver at all times.

It is said that Queen Yang has a top-quality sable coat worth tens of thousands of taels. Every year she only wants to wear it during the grand court meeting.

Unlike later generations, some people like to wear a fur coat, hand it a big flat head, a gold necklace as thick as a dog chain on their neck, a blue dragon on their left and a white tiger on their right, and a cigarette on their mouth.

When walking, they are all in the outer horoscope, and they always say one sentence: "What are you looking at? Try another one?"

Shows the domineering spirit of Tieling.

Seeing a group of female relatives gathered around to see what was in Chen Buer's box, Old Man Pan was very dissatisfied and felt that his granddaughters were really uneducated.

Although Pan Mingyue was also full of curiosity, she did not move. Among the nine sisters, she was the one who could withstand the temptation the most.

At this time, Chen Buer and Pan Mingguang came in with a box, and there were more than ten identical wooden boxes in the room.

Everyone was whispering, "No, there are fur coats in it?"

"Didn't it mean that the Chen family has no money? Where did they get so much money?"

Chen Buer didn't realize how precious the gift he gave was.

At the beginning, he was bored in Xijin Mansion and went shopping every day to pass the time. What is the best thing for Liao Kingdom to buy? There is almost no light industry and jewelry industry in the north, and they can only provide simple raw materials.

Don't buy it back and take a look, yes, Made in Dazhou.

There are only these mink coats on the market in Xijinfu, and thousands of years of ginseng are still eye-catching, but the key is that the price is not expensive.

When he was in Dengzhou, he bought 50 taels of silver for this thousand-year-old ginseng, which was only 5 taels in Xijin Mansion, which was ten times the difference.

The mink coats sold at Dazhou market cost only one or two hundred taels of silver in the place of origin of the Liao Kingdom. The price is so low that it is outrageous.

(The problem is one hundred taels of silver, which is also the income of an ordinary Bianliang person who does not eat or drink for two or three years)

What Chen Buer didn't know was that the reasons why the prices of goods from north to south in ancient times were so large that they were all due to inconvenient transportation. In addition, the Liao Kingdom was a hostile country, and the Great Zhou Dynasty also had quota restrictions on the imported goods from Liao Kingdom.

mink is a specialty in the Northeast. It is not many sold to the Great Zhou Dynasty, so the price is hyped to a sky-high price.

Chen Buer put down the box and opened it in a flash. He grabbed his greasy hand and picked up a sable coat, which shocked the Pan sisters to exclaim:

Pan Liangyue hurriedly shouted: "Oh Mr. Chen, this fur coat is not easy to hold like this. Your hands are dirty and your hair is easy to pull off. You have to take it lightly, take it lightly."

This is ridiculing him for not knowing it, but Chen Buer thought that others were kind-hearted reminders and smiled.

"It's okay, I bought this coat from Liao Kingdom. If you don't mention anything else, it's absolutely OK to keep warm. Come on, each of my grandparents has one room. By the way, do you like it, uncles and aunts? You can also choose one."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent.

Both Pan Wenlong and Yu Xiufeng were anxious, thinking to himself if this child was mentally ill. In order to save face, he actually took out so many precious fur coats? Both of them felt sorry for him for the money.

Pan Mingyue was thinking, and her eyes looked at Chen Buer more interesting.

She had concluded that the money Chen Buerer used was not as simple as a few hundred taels or a few thousand taels, at least tens of thousands taels or more.

Only Pan Mingguang knows the inside story best. His brothers traveled to Dengzhou and Liao Kingdom in January, and I wonder how much gold, silver and jewelry they robbed. How much money are these clothes worth?
