The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 611
[Chapter 611 Accident]
Fang Xiu gradually understood this truth after he came to this world and experienced many things personally.
However, it is obvious that some people, or in other words, most people in this world, have not had such experience, and naturally they do not understand this truth.
For example, the Minister of Rites, Wailang Dingtong.
To the west of the city, there is a mansion somewhere.
The clerk from Baolefang was careful along the way, not daring to make the slightest mistake, and finally delivered these six glazed treasures to the house of Rite Minister Wai Lang Dingtong.
To their surprise, the person who opened the door for them was not a servant, but the Minister of Etiquette, Lang Dingtong himself!
“Master Ding, let the servants do this little thing, and you have to do it yourself.”
The boy from Baolefang looked at Ding Tong and complimented.
Ding Tong looked at the six glazed treasures expressionlessly, showing no intention of paying any attention to them.
When the boy saw this, he wasn’t embarrassed at all.
After all, they have encountered too many similar things over the years.
Ding Tong is pretty good.
In the past, when there was no new Amber to support them, in front of these nobles, their servants were simply inferior to pigs and dogs, and they could beat and scold anyone at will.
It is extremely rare to get such treatment nowadays.
“Master Ding, are these six glazed treasures placed in front of your residence, or delivered to your residence?”
Although he received a cold reception, the boy still did his duty and asked with a smile on his face.
Ding Tong glanced at him and said expressionlessly: “Put it here.”
“Okay, guys, let’s unload the goods for Master Ding!”
The boy turned around and said hello, and the boys started to move on their own. .
Someone spread a layer of protective cotton wool on the ground, and then the rest of the people carefully took out a glass treasure worth 5,500 taels from the box and gently placed it on top of the cotton wool.
After doing all this, the boy turned back, looked at Ding Tong, and said respectfully: “Master Ding, would you like to inspect the goods?”
Ding Tong did not reply, but glanced at the young man beside him.
As soon as the young man looked at his appearance, he knew that he must be his son. He looked exactly like him.
Seeing Ding Tong’s eyes, the young man nodded, walked forward, squatted down, picked up the six glazed treasures on the cotton wool one by one, and then observed each one carefully.
After reading it, he gently put it down, looked back at Ding Tong, and said, “Dad, they are all genuine!”
After hearing this, Ding Tong nodded, walked out of the house, and walked to the glazed treasures. , ordered his son: “Pick up that piece.”
When the young man heard this, he gently picked up the most precious glass treasure, held it in his arms, and asked: “Dad, how many of the remaining pieces are there?” “I want the servants to move them into the house?”
“No”
Ding Tong shook his head, took a step forward, squatted down, and held all the remaining five glazed treasures in his arms.
Everyone, including his son, was stunned when they saw this scene.
These things together are worth at least two to three thousand taels of silver. Why does Master Ding seem to be holding a porcelain bowl and not care at all?
Immediately afterwards, a scene that shocked them even more appeared.
I saw Ding Tong slowly raising the glass treasure in his hand, and then
slamming it toward the ground!
Bang————
Then, a crisp sound was heard.
The five glazed treasures, without exception, fell into pieces.
“This, this”
Everyone present, whether they were the servants of Baolefang, Ding Tong’s son, or even the servants of Ding Mansion, were so frightened that they held their breath when they saw this scene, and did not dare to say a word.
Especially the boys in Baolefang.
They know the price of these glass treasures.
A full three thousand taels of silver!
How many years would they have to go without food and drink to earn so much money! ?
Not to mention these young men, even Ding Tong’s son was dumbfounded.
Three thousand taels of silver is by no means a small sum for Ding Mansion!
You know, before my father decided to become a second-hand dealer in antique calligraphy and paintings, their family’s cash, banknotes, and antique calligraphy and paintings together totaled only 5,000 taels.
That is to say, after becoming a second-hand dealer in antique calligraphy and painting, the family became richer than before.
But even so, three thousand taels of silver is by no means a small amount!
“This…”
The leading boy was so frightened that he looked at Ding Tong and said hurriedly: “Ding, Master Ding, I have put these glazed treasures in your hands.
You have to throw these treasures yourself.” Yes, the little ones haven’t even moved!”
At this time, the thing to do is undoubtedly to separate ourselves from each other.
This is indeed the case. They took care of it carefully along the way for fear of being bumped. After delivering the goods, they stayed far away, just for fear of something similar happening.
Although Baolefang may not let them compensate for all losses, one thing is for sure, this lucrative job will definitely not be available to them in the future.
Everyone is nervous, everyone is worried, everyone is scared.
There was only one person with a calm face and a calm look.
There is no doubt that this person is Ding Tong.
“I know, I don’t care about your business.”
Ding Tong glanced at the debris on the ground, then at the boy, and slowly said: “I smashed these glazed treasures myself.” When
the boys heard this, they said, They all breathed a sigh of relief and had expressions of gratitude on their faces.
The young man next to him and the servants of Ding Mansion became anxious when they heard this.
“Dad!”
The young man couldn’t help but call out.
Ding Tong slowly stretched out a hand to tell him not to say more.
Then, he looked at the boys and said, “I want to ask you to do something for me, can you?”
When the boys heard this, their original joyful mood suddenly dropped by a large margin.
The leading boy was even more so. He raised his eyes, looked at Ding Tong, and said cautiously: “Master Ding, no matter what the instructions are, as long as it is something that the boys can do, they will definitely do it.”
At this point, he thought about it and added , said: “Of course, let us betray Baolefang, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you guys to obey.”
Ding Tong shook his head and said: “It has nothing to do with Baolefang, and it has nothing to do with you.
It’s just a very simple matter .
, just tell your shopkeeper and the people you know what you saw today.”
“These”
boys all showed hesitant expressions and looked at each other. No one understood Ding. Same meaning.
Ding Tong looked at them and continued: “It’s very simple. You only need to say that I, Ding Tong, smashed five of the six glazed treasures, leaving only fragments.
Except for the most precious one, none of them are intact. .
This matter is not difficult for you, right?”
