Xu Yan looked at the fat man who was nearly 200 pounds in front of him and felt like crying.

"Why did Brother Pengju say this?"

Yang Pengju dragged his chin and looked at it for a long time, and said in a good manner: "Brother has become much thinner, and..."

After pondering for a long time, he continued: "And there is a lot of bookish energy on my elder brother."

To be honest, Yang Peng raised his name just now and really scared Xu Yan.

He thought to himself that this little fat man could have seen some clues, right? But if you think about it carefully, how could a fat man see something that even his father and mother couldn't see?

Time travel is really something that heaven and earth know themselves. As long as he doesn't say it himself, there will be no problem.

"This bookish spirit is easy to explain. Brother Yu is now studying hard and is determined to make achievements in his career. Over time, he will naturally bring the bookish spirit."

After a moment of pause, Xu Yan continued, "It's easy to explain how thin you are. If you try Brother Yu's way of studying hard, you will lose weight."

Upon hearing this, Yang Pengju quickly rubbed his stomach and shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no. How can my parents easily destroy it? Brother, I will not lose a pound of meat."

Xu Yan thought to himself that this fat man is really going to mess around.

"I heard that Brother Pengju just came back from studying in Jiangxi, is there any fun there?"

“It’s very boring.”

Yang Pengju shook his head helplessly.

"If you talk about beautiful scenery and pleasant environment, Suzhou and Hangzhou are still the best in the world."

Xu Yan thought to himself that this was nothing wrong, otherwise why would it be said that there is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou?

"Brother, I'll bring good news this time."

Yang Pengju took a few steps closer and said mysteriously.

Xu Yan subconsciously moved back and said, "Oh? Why not talk about it?"

"Brother, have you heard of Jingdezhen, Fuliang County?"

The little fat man rubbed his palms and said, "I have gone to Jiangxi this time. I feel bored elsewhere, but Jingdezhen is really interesting."

Xu Yan thought to himself, can I not know Jingdezhen? This is the world's porcelain capital.

During the Song Dynasty, Jingdezhen became famous because of its abundant production of Qingbai porcelain, and it was already very prosperous by the Ming Dynasty.

During the Zhengde period of Hongzhi, Jingdezhen was awarded many times by the emperor for his contribution to firing the imperial kiln.

"Brother, I know a governor of the Imperial Kiln. He said that he had a private kiln in Jingdezhen, and the blue and white fired all had imitation official kiln styles. Except for the words "Not the words made in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the basic appearance is the same."

Yang Pengju said proudly: "Brother, I want to do the porcelain business."

Hum? I can't tell that this fat man is quite business-oriented.

There are indeed many private kilns that imitate official kiln models in Jingdezhen history. You can't say that this thing is a fake, because people have clearly told you that I am a private kiln and not an official kiln.

The kind that doesn't even approve the label.

"My brother has a way?"

I remember that the Yang family didn’t seem to have a way to sell porcelain.

"Of course, my family and the Lu family in Hangzhou are family friends. The Lu family is the largest porcelain merchant in Hangzhou."

Yang Pengju swallowed and said, "I have already thought about it. I will definitely make a big profit by picking up goods from Jingdezhen and selling them in the Hangzhou market."

Xu Yan thought for a while and reminded: "This is not bad, but I must be careful of the official kiln supervisor, so as to prevent him from taking inferior products as good ones."

Porcelain really tests eyesight, and if you are not careful, you may be cheated. This is also the reason why Xu Yan is unwilling to make trouble for this thing.

"Don't worry, brother, I want to let me see if he has the ability."

Yang Pengju patted his chest and said proudly.

"By the way, brother, do you want to invest in the shares?"

"Uh, there's no need."

Xu Yan shook his head and said.

If porcelain is sold in the Ming Dynasty, the profit will not be several times higher.

If you really want to make a lot of money, you have to sell it to Europa.

However, now the imperial court has implemented a maritime ban, and if it wants to smuggle sea transportation, this is something Xu Yan cannot accept.

Let’s wait until Longqing opens the sea before considering it.

By then, not only porcelain, but also silk would become the best-selling product.

"I will not go out for a short period of time when I come back this time, so I will stay with my elder brother."

The little fat man said arrogantly: "If you have any needs, please tell me, Yang Pengju."

It can be seen that the little fat man has a really good relationship with him.

"Yes, it's better to stay at home than to go out."

Yang Pengju suddenly slapped his head and said, "Look at my brain, I actually forgot the serious business. My father asked me to study with my elder brother, so I was not allowed to live home. Brother, you must not be willing to die and refuse to save me."

Xu Yan was stunned. Did he hear that right?

This means that the little fat man wants to eat and live in his house?

"Uncle Shi really said that?"

“No word of mouth.”

"The same is true for Brother Pengju? Do you really want to take the imperial examination?"

Xu Yan was surprised.

"Of course not. I just like to make money. Where can I make money from studying is interesting. But the old man is too forced to do anything, so I can only pretend."

"Don't worry, brother, I will pay the meal."

Seeing that Xu Yan was still hesitating, Yang Pengju added.

Xu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. According to Yang Pengju's appetite, his Xu family really couldn't afford it.

...

Xixi Hongyuan.

Hong Miaoyun was watching "Journey to the West" as he was fascinated by the magic. At some point Cuiwen had appeared behind her and covered her eyes.

"Miss, guess who I am?"

"Who else can you be except for you, a dead girl? There are becoming increasingly unruly."

Hong Miaoyun said angrily.

Cuiwen then let go of her hands, covered her mouth and smiled, "Miss, guess what good news is there."

"Is it possible that "Journey to the West" has been updated again?"

"How can it be that fast? Is the lady trying to exhaust the Lord of Huayang Cave to death?"

Cuiwen paused and said, "It's the news that the Xu family came. They have officially proposed to get engaged."

"ah!"

As soon as Cuiwen finished speaking, Hong Miaoyun exclaimed in surprise.

"What did Dad say?"

"The master has not sent a letter yet, but he must have agreed. Otherwise, the wife would not have sent Geng's letter to the Xu family at the beginning."

Hong Miaoyun bit her lips tightly and said nothing for a long time.

After a moment of silence, she said, "What does Mr. Xu mean? Is he willing?"

"Young Master Xu is naturally willing. The lady is so well-educated. Which young master in Hangzhou doesn't like it? That is, this young master Xu just won the little Sanyuan, otherwise he would not be worthy of the young lady because he is a rural bull from Dinghai County. Besides, the matchmaker's words from his parents, Young Master Xu naturally has to listen to his elders."

The scenes of meeting Xu Yan several times appeared in Hong Miaoyun's mind, especially the last time Xu Yan threw her to the ground to save her...

Hong Miaoyun's face immediately flushed.

Mr. Xu is indeed very good, she is the type she likes.

The woman must not say it first if she just said the word "like".
