Becoming wealthy by raising furry animals

Chapter 50 Getting married
Li Guan's ancestors were tomb raiders, but his generation was unwilling to make this their profession. By chance, he became a disciple of Zhou Heng and worked as a treasure buyer for Zhou Heng, collecting all kinds of rare treasures for him.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Heng couldn't help but frown when he saw his serious expression.

If it is not as valuable as Ban You said, he would probably have to pay a lot of money out of his own pocket.

Li Guan carefully examined it and spoke cautiously, "Your Highness, the radiance on this jade Buddha is its own, not caused by any external influence. This jade is translucent and lustrous. I have never seen a jade Buddha of such fine quality in my life."

"This jade Buddha can not only be used to protect the house, but also fill a closed room with a radiant glow. Its price is inestimable."

"Immeasurable?" Zhou Heng said in a flat tone.

"I've never seen jade like this before, so I can't really put a price on it. If I were to calculate based on the original price I paid for the Jade Buddha, I'm afraid it would be more than ten times that."

Zhou Heng naturally believed in Li Guan's vision and judgment.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Heng finally felt relieved.

Now that the value of this jade Buddha has reached this level, it must not be placed here.

Zhou Heng thought for a moment and looked at Duoshao: "Write a letter immediately and send it to the palace to present to His Majesty, saying that I have discovered a rare treasure that can protect the country and keep it peaceful and ward off evil. However, it is extremely expensive. I beg Your Majesty to allocate some silver to buy this jade Buddha."

"Master, this... I'm afraid those noble families won't agree." Duo Shao hesitated when he heard Zhou Heng say this.

"They won't disagree. Just do it."

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

After taking the sheath and leaving, Zhou Heng looked at Liu Xian, waved, and whispered a few words in his ear. Liu Xian then hurried away.

"Your Highness, this is..."

"I made a deal with someone, and now that what he said has come true, I don't have to pay a large sum of money."

"Your Highness, do you hope that those noble families will take the lead in asking His Majesty to open the national treasury and release silver?" Li Guan watched the whole process, and then looked at Zhou Heng with a smile on his face and his mouth raised. An idea suddenly flashed in his mind, so he said.

"You're really smart." Zhou Heng smiled. "With a few noble families taking the lead, and my father having my letter, he will naturally open the treasury to release the silver. This way, not only she, but also I will make a fortune."

"I wonder how much treasury silver Your Highness wishes His Majesty to deposit?"

"That depends on how much silver those noble families think is worthy of this national treasure."

Ban You, on this side, hurried back to Li's house carrying the sleeping Tuan Tuan. After settling Tuan Tuan down, he looked at the familiar place and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that if she stayed for another second, Zhou Heng would take Tuantuan away again, and then she would really be throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

However, she left in a hurry, and although the jade Buddha had successfully increased in value tenfold, she didn't know the exact amount.

"Oh! I have to go to Zuixianlou again, help me..." Ban You lay on the bed helplessly and sighed.

However, it was already late at night and it was not suitable for her to go out, so she planned to go and find out tomorrow.

The next morning, Ban You went out happily.

As soon as she arrived at Zuixianlou, Liu Xian took her to the third floor.

This time, both of them were extremely cautious and only knocked on the door after hearing some noise inside.

"Come in."

Liu Xian walked in first.

Zhou Heng thought the first person he saw was Ban You, and was smiling brightly. But when he suddenly saw Liu Xian, his expression changed. He frowned and was about to let him go, but he saw Liu Xian turn sideways to welcome Ban You in.

"Liu Xian, your monthly salary is gone."

Liu Xian was stunned when he heard this: "Master, I wonder where I made a mistake to displease you?"

"Oh, you stepped into the house with your left foot first, which gave me a headache." Zhou Heng said in a flat tone, but his words made Ban You burst out laughing.

When Liu Xian heard this reason, his face turned bitter. He was about to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but when he saw Zhou Heng's stern eyes, he shut his mouth tactfully.

This month's salary is gone, and if something else is deducted from him, he will suffer a huge loss.

After Liu Xian closed the door and left, Zhou Heng's mood improved, and his charming smile returned to his face. However, in Ban You's eyes, this smile looked very greasy.

"Hehehe, I wonder what price Mr. Zhou will set for that jade Buddha?" Ban You came up and got straight to the point.

When Zhou Heng heard this, he stopped laughing and asked Ban You to sit down.

"My people have appraised it and they cannot estimate the value of the jade Buddha. Therefore, Miss Ban will need to wait a little longer."

"Wait a little longer? Why?" Ban You didn't understand why she should continue to wait since the value could not be estimated.

"Because I have already written to His Majesty, waiting for His Majesty to open the national treasury to release silver." Zhou Heng's plain words made Ban You choke, and the corners of his eyes were filled with tears and slightly red due to violent coughing.

"Open the treasury? Loan out silver?" Ban You was dumbfounded. "No, why make such a big deal about it?!"

"I told your majesty that this jade Buddha has the power to protect the country and repel foreign enemies. It is a national treasure of our Great Zhou, so naturally the national treasury should pay for it."

Although Ban You didn't understand the twists and turns, her eyes were bright and she looked at Zhou Heng with curiosity: "Then how much can I get?"

"Enough for you to live a carefree life."

"so much?!"

"My Great Zhou national treasure is naturally worth this price."

When Ban You heard this, his heart was already filled with joy, and his face was even more brilliant with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I'll just sit back and wait for the payment!"

Ban You stood up and saluted, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Heng.

"wait."

As Zhou Heng spoke, he coughed twice, and his tone was a little unnatural.

"Please sit down first." Zhou Heng pointed to the chair and said.

"What else can I do for you, Mr. Zhou? I have a customer waiting for me at You'an Hall today."

"Don't you want to hear about the Sky Fox?" Zhou Heng looked at her with deep eyes.

He was quite sure that Banyou would stay.

As expected, when Ban You heard about Xue Zhao, he immediately sat back in his chair.

"What does Mr. Zhou want to tell me?"

"I can let Tianhu go, but you must agree to one condition."

"What conditions?"

"Marry me."

"What?!" Ban You was stunned...

"No, just talk about Xue Zhao, why do you involve me?" Ban You didn't understand why he would let Xue Zhao go home and involve himself in it.

"Miss Ban, please consider it on your own. If you agree, after the matter in Yuncheng is completed, you can return to the capital with me to discuss the marriage."

"You...please let me think about it..."

"Of course, marriage is a big deal, so we have to think it through carefully."

Ban You was confused when she left Zuixianlou. She really couldn't understand Zhou Heng's behavior, but for Xue Zhao, Ban You had to think things through.
