Chapter 4 God-level Prodigal

Time flies, and June is in a blink of an eye.

The Japanese pirates who had been raging Ningbo Prefecture for a month finally stopped and retreated to the sea.

All counties in Ningbo Prefecture were harmed, and the people of each county were more or less starved to death, but Dinghai County did not starve to death by one man, woman, young and old.

Although there are reasons why the county magistrates him to provide timely relief, Xu Yan, the eldest son of the Xu family, donated grain, is also talked about by people and has become a temporary talk.

Thanks to the fact that the county government did not hide his own private matters, he wrote a notice to post the process of Xu Yan's grain donation in various parts of the city.

Xu Yan was still very pleased about this.

However, his good mood did not last long, because after the Japanese pirates retreated to the sea, his cheap father would come back...

Xu Yan himself could not make any decision on the matter of donating grain, so his father was not in the mansion and decided the right to do so with Xu Chen's family.

Originally, Xu Chen did not want to donate food, but her ears were soft and she was so soft that she was so soft that she was so soft that she was so soft that she finally agreed.

But after thinking about it, Xu Chen still felt a little painful.

You should know that 3,000 shi of grain is by no means a small amount. Even if you don’t sell it as one stone and two taels of silver agreed to by other grains when the Japanese pirates were raging, you can sell it as two thousand,400 taels at a fair price of one stone and eight coins.

What is the concept of two thousand four hundred taels?

In Hangzhou Prefecture, where every inch of land is valuable, a three-entry mansion can only buy four or five such mansions.

From this perspective, it is no exaggeration to say that Xu Yan is a god-level prodigal son.

However, in Xu Yan's opinion, this deal is not a loss.

First, the Xu family gained a good reputation, and secondly, he recognized Zhao County as a teacher. As for the loss of more than 2,000 taels of silver, although the strength of the Xu family was painful, it was not considered a trauma. From a long-term perspective, this is a sure profit without losing.

Of course, what he had to do next was to make his cheap dad agree with this.

On this day, Xu Yan got up early to study as usual, and after reading a few pages of "Mencius", he saw Shuangxi running over hurriedly.

"Young Master, it's not good. Master... Master is back!"

When Xu Yan heard this, he was shocked.

In his remaining memories, his cheap father is not as easy to talk to as Xu Chen. In other words, Xu Huaiyuan is a complete businessman.

Businessmen naturally value profits very seriously, and Xu Huaiyuan would definitely not accept Xu Yan's behavior of making a fortune.

Although Xu Yan has simulated the scene of the father and son meeting many times, he is still a little upset when the matter is about to come.

"Ah, my head flew again."

Xu Yan is Xu Huaiyuan's only son. He thought that even though he did it a little too much this time, as long as he pretended to be sick and showed weakness, Xu Huaiyuan would not be able to take action, right?

Seeing this, Shuangxi shouted with great agreement: "Oh, the young master fainted again."

Xu Yan wanted to roll his eyes. Now he couldn't even lie on the bed.

But Xu Yan had just lying on the bed, and a burst of rapid footsteps came from the yard.

Shuangxi, who was standing at the door to show his warning, looked closely and saw a middle-aged man wearing a lake blue Taoist robe and a square scarf on his head hurriedly walking towards the main room with a few servants. Who is it if it is not his master?

In a flash, Xu Huaiyuan came to the front of the main room. Shuangxi hurriedly stepped forward and looked anxious: "Master, you are back, the young master has a headache again."

Who would have thought that Xu Huaiyuan ignored it at all, just sneered and walked to the bed.

Although Xu Yan was lying on the bed, he listened carefully.

Seeing that his father looked like he was not kind to the person, Xu Yan coughed violently.

Xu Huaiyuan's heart was full of anger, and he wanted to teach this prodigal son a lesson, but he was stunned by Xu Yan's cough.

It turns out that Xu Huaiyuan's body was not good for a child, and his lungs were not good except for his head disease. If he gets cold, he often coughs for several months.

No one knows his son, but Xu Huaiyuan's heart suddenly stumbles when he sees Xu Yan coughing violently. How could he get angry?

"What's going on? Could it be that the wind and cold are stained again?"

Xu Huaiyuan sat down beside the bed, helped his son up and frowned, "He is so old, he just doesn't know how to take care of himself."

Poor Xu Yan pretended to cough and had to reply: "Children...Children was careless. Recently...Children, I have been studying hard recently and I forgot to put on clothes."

Xu Huaiyuan is so kind of son, so he naturally cherishes him very much.

He had prepared a lesson for Xu Yan, but at this moment he could not say anything.

"You kid is really worry-free..."

Xu Huaiyuan tucked the quilt for Xu Yan and sighed: "I donated it as soon as I said I donated it, and I donated it to my father."

Xu Yan secretly complained in his heart that you were far away in Hangzhou Prefecture at that time, and the Japanese pirates were rampant in Ningbo Prefecture. Even if I wanted to know, I had to contact you. Besides, if he really called my father for advice, he would definitely not allow it because of his father's greedy nature. Only by killing first and then reporting can he achieve the current results.

Although Xu Huaiyuan was blaming his tone at this moment, his anger had dissipated most of his anger. Xu Yan was heard and happy in his heart.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, he said sadly: "The Japanese pirates were raging, and the grain merchants in the city took the opportunity to stock up on goods and raise the price of grain. The neighbors could not afford to buy food and were hungry. The child was so embarrassed that he donated 3,000 stones of grain, which was unified by the county government. This was because the child was not considerate and the child apologized to his father here."

Xu Huaiyuan shook his head and said, "It's not that my father can't bear to give up all the rice and grain, but that you have offended all your colleagues. They thought they could make a big profit by relying on this opportunity, but if you donate it, they can't even sell a bucket of rice."

Xu Yan thought to himself that I am not afraid of offending these villains who forget their righteousness when seeing profit. You can make any money, but you can't make money in the country. This is the bottom line of being a human being.

“What my father taught me is.”

While admitting his mistake and surrendering, Xu Yan tentatively said: "I have figured it out all these days. I am willing to devote myself to studying and obtain fame."

Xu Huaiyuan was stunned when he heard this and said tremblingly: "What did you say just now?"

"The child will study hard in the future and achieve fame and honor, and will shine on his family."

Xu Yan said solemnly.

It turned out that this Xu Xiaolangjun was a typical stupid son of a landlord family and had no interest in studying. Although Xu Huaiyuan asked him for his husband several times, he was angry and ran away. Master Wu was considered the fifth husband invited by the Xu family.

"Oh by the way, father, the county honored him to praise him for donating grain this time, and even gave the child a letter."

This sentence made Xu Huaiyuan's heart tremble.

"God opens his eyes, God opens his eyes. My son has finally become sensible! The value of the food donation is worth it!"
