At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

These tin coins are all samples, with face values ​​of one tael, five taels, and ten taels.

Ren Hao looked at the tin coin on the table and nodded, "Very good, very good. Ask Chen Yin to make it according to this level of craftsmanship."

"Okay then." Wuming nodded and was about to leave, but Ren Hao stopped him and asked, "How is the Maozi I asked you to distill going?"

"The first batch will be ready tomorrow, probably around five stones, but we can distill more later." Wuming thought for a while and said.

They had followed the distillation method taught by Ren Hao, and after a few days of tinkering with it, they had become familiar with it.

Ren Hao nodded and ordered: "Tomorrow you will send all the distilled Maozi to Maozi Xianjiu. I will start preparing to make money for His Majesty."

"Okay, then I'd like to thank you on behalf of His Majesty." Wuming bowed to Ren Hao, then turned and left the room.

After Wuming left, when Ren Hao was about to go to bed early, Cai Lun suddenly knocked on the door.

"Cai Lun, is there anything wrong?" Ren Hao asked as he walked to the door.

"Master, there is a beggar outside the mansion who claims to be your brother-in-law and also says he is the eldest lady's younger brother. I was not sure whether what he said was true or not, so I did not chase him away and left him outside the door of the mansion." Cai Lun reported truthfully.

brother in law?

Ren Hao frowned instantly and asked, "Is his name Su Ergou?"

"Yes, sir." Cai Lun nodded.

"Give him a few taels of silver and send him away, and tell him that we are not here." Ren Hao waved his hand, not thinking about his brother-in-law at all.

His brother-in-law is lazy and greedy. How long has he been in Beijing? He is like a bee, smelling the fragrance of flowers and coming here.

"Okay, sir." Cai Lun nodded and left.

Following Ren Hao's instructions, he took out five taels of silver from the silver cellar in the mansion and came to the door.

The thin man sitting at the door, covered in mud and with disheveled hair, was Su Wan'er's younger brother Su Ergou.

He fled all the way from the village to the capital, and when he was hungry he begged for food or picked up slop for food.

When he arrived in the capital today, he wanted to enter from the South Gate, but the commander guarding the gate not only did not let him in but also beat him up.

If he hadn't run fast, he would have been beaten to death by those people.

The only reason he could enter the capital now was because of a hole in the dilapidated west gate.

"Where is Ren Hao? Ask him to come out and see me!!!" Su Ergou shouted as he got up from the ground.

"The master is not at home. Take these silver coins back to the village." Cai Lun threw five taels of silver on the ground and said without even raising his eyes.

"How could he not be in the mansion? I clearly saw him returning to the mansion earlier, so I followed him here."

"Hurry up and call him out, I have something urgent to discuss with him!!!" Su Ergou shouted loudly and prepared to break into the house.

But Cai Lun blocked the door and continued, "Don't make a fuss. My master is definitely not here. If you still don't know how to leave, don't blame me for calling for help."

"Then go ahead and shout. Let's see who dares to touch a hair on my head."

"My sister is the eldest lady of your house." Su Ergou sat on the ground and directly mentioned his sister's name.

But Cai Lun didn't care about that. He went straight to the guest room to find Chen Fei and asked Chen Fei to go out and drive Su Ergou away.

At first Chen Fei refused, after all, the person who came was Ren Hao’s brother-in-law and the eldest lady’s younger brother.

But after Cai Lun told him that this was Ren Hao's suggestion, Chen Fei didn't think much about it.

When Chen Fei went out and saw Su Ergou, considering that he was Ren Hao's brother-in-law, he did not use force directly but persuaded him with kind words, letting him take the five taels of silver and return to the village to live a good life.

But Su Ergou just refused to accept the toast and sat on the ground, rolling around and refusing to leave.

This pissed off Chen Fei. Just as he was about to pick up Su Ergou and throw him outside the capital, a voice came from the gate and asked, "Chen Menke, I just passed by and heard a commotion outside the mansion. What happened?"

“Madam, please…” Before Chen Fei could finish his words, Su Ergou, who was carried on his shoulders, began to struggle and yelled, “Sister, it’s me, it’s… Ergou, please save me, your retainers not only won’t let me in, but also want to throw me out of the capital!!!”

"Ergou?" Su Wan'er was stunned at first, then ran over in panic.

"Sister!!!" Su Ergou suddenly burst into tears.

"Ergou, how...how did you end up like this?" Su Wan'er felt distressed when she saw her brother looking like a beggar.

Although his younger brother was lazy and never did any work, he never took his sister seriously.

But he is the only male in the Su family and the only heir.

"Sister, this... this is really hard to explain. I... I'm so hungry now. Can you give me something to eat first?" Su Ergou said crying.

"Okay, okay, you go back home with your sister first." Su Wan'er nodded.

Seeing that the situation had come to this, Chen Fei, who was standing next to him, had no choice but to let Su Ergou go. He then apologized to Su Wan'er, pretending that he really didn't know he was her brother.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Chen. You can go back first." Su Wan'er waved her hand without taking it seriously. After all, Su Ergou was so dirty and smelly that no one would believe that he was her younger brother, Ren Hao's brother-in-law.

After Su Ergou was brought into the mansion, Cai Lun reported it to Ren Hao immediately.

Ren Hao could only sigh and give up, planning to go meet his brother-in-law.

At this time, Su Ergou, who had taken a bath and changed his clothes, was wolfing down meat and drinking wine in the main hall. His eating habits were so ugly that he looked like a starving ghost reincarnated.

"When did you come, brother-in-law?"

Ren Hao pretended to know nothing and walked in.

"Master, he is really your brother-in-law, and Madam's biological brother."

Cai Lun, who was following nearby, pretended to be surprised, then quickly knelt down to apologize for his shortsighted behavior and took the blame for Ren Hao.

"Brother-in-law, this slave just bullied and humiliated me, you can't let him off easily!!!"

When Su Ergou saw Cai Lun, he was so angry that he slammed the table and acted like the master of this mansion.

"He's already apologized to you, what else do you want?" Ren Hao glanced at Su Ergou, implying that he shouldn't push his luck too far.

"Brother-in-law, isn't he just your dog? Do you have to protect him like this?" Su Ergou said unhappily.

"Ergou, Cai Lun is the steward of our mansion, not a dog." Su Wan'er quickly corrected Su Ergou and told him not to talk nonsense, then she waved towards Cai Lun.

Cai Lun also tactfully bowed and left.

"Sister, are you just going to let this dog go like this?" Su Ergou widened his eyes, full of unwillingness.

"If you don't let him go, will he stay and be your urinal?"
