Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Lin Yuzan was not just talking about finding a way to make money. He had more ideas than others when he lived again. Unfortunately, the dynasty stipulated that one could not enter the government as a businessman, and could not enter the government as an official. He could not do business. Not only that, Wang Cheng was an official in his previous life, and his uncle's family could not do business. So the road to business was cut off from the beginning of their imperial examination. Of course, there were other ways, but he was still a student who didn't even have a servant.

He pinched the thing in his sleeve and thought to himself that this thing was carefully made by him and he had been secretly preparing it since he was reborn. In his previous life, he had heard about the value of this thing and that it was a must-have for noble ladies.

Lin Yuzan rubbed his hot ears. There was nothing shameful in making money. He counted his family property and found only a hundred taels of silver, which could not even buy a few whiskers of a hundred-year-old ginseng. A hundred taels of gold for a hundred-year-old ginseng was not something to be feared.

Fortunately, Qing Jie'er is very well behaved now, and her health is getting better day by day, but the supplements cannot stop. Wan Niang has also suffered with him for three years, so the supplements cannot stop. As for that boy who showed up... I must settle every penny with his family in the future. There is money everywhere. Lin Yuzan looked at the only three-story building in the town and walked towards it.

Shiniu Town is not too big, but it is also not too small. It has everything you need. Farmers from nearby villages come here to set up stalls to sell their family income. The streets are very busy. Many shops are also crowded.

Especially the Treasure Pavilion standing in the center, those who have spare money at home like to go shopping here.

Lin Yuzan looked at the front of the Treasure Pavilion, where two waiters were entertaining female guests. He thought for a moment and then went to the Wangyue Study across the street.

"Shopkeeper, these are the books I copied this month. Please check them." Lin Yuzan took out three copied books and handed them to the shopkeeper.

During these two months, Xiao Yining and Wan Niang thought that he was studying hard, but in fact he was copying books to make money.

In the past, he studied every day in order to stand out and bring honor to his family. His family had some spare money, so he looked down upon making money by copying books. Now, he would take any small amount of money he could make.

The shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction after looking at the book, and asked the accountant to pay Lin Yuzan.

"Boss, I have something I want you to appreciate." Lin Yuzan said in a low voice, with a slight blush on her face.

"Oh~ then please come this way." The shopkeeper led Lin Yuzan to a small compartment and watched him take out a carved bamboo tube from his clothes, then take out a bundle of scrolls from it and put them on the table. He gently spread them out with his hands, and the three words "Fire Avoidance Map" came into his sight.

Shopkeeper Chen looked up at the young scholar. Although it was his first time copying a book, he also paid a high price. It was because of his good handwriting. He was really rare here. These three words were also written by him.

I thought he was a serious scholar, but I didn't expect...

Lin Yuzan doesn't care about what others think. He only knows that this can be exchanged for money, and a lot of money.

This was also what he had heard in his previous life. It was used as a treasure by women when they got married. A good one would cost thousands of taels of silver, and it was hard to find. Once you got one, it would be passed down to the family. Although it was just a small fire-avoiding map, it was also a must-have for couples. However, his wife Wan Niang did not bring such a thing with her when she got married, and he had never seen it before.

If there were, it would probably be quite interesting.

Shopkeeper Chen fixed his eyes on the moment he unfolded the scroll, and he saw that the scholar had appreciated the beauty of the fire-avoiding painting and was able to appreciate it as a fine piece of art.

Although this is his study, he also sells these things.

Shopkeeper Chen's eyes swept over the characters in the painting one by one. The scene was beautiful and the characters seemed real. He said three times, "Not bad," "Did you draw this picture?"

"I am not a talented person, but I have seen the works of the master left behind by the previous dynasty, so I drew this picture." Lin Yuzan replied.

Shopkeeper Chen's eyes lit up instantly.

Master Shi's reputation was known throughout the two dynasties, and the fire avoidance map she produced was sold for tens of thousands of taels, becoming a treasured item among the nobles.

"Is this... a replica?"

“Although I don’t have the essence of a master, I have everything I should have.” Lin Yuzan said.

Shopkeeper Chen thought for a moment and then called his clerk to invite the person in charge of the Treasure Pavilion.

Seeing this, Lin Yuzan's eyes flashed with a smile. This Treasure Pavilion and Wangyue Study have the same owner, and also have a royal background, otherwise they would not be spread all over the Zhou Dynasty. If he remembered correctly, Princess Mingzhao was looking for a suitable fire avoidance map to keep in the bottom of the box when she married her daughter. It's not that the royal family didn't have it, but she was not satisfied.

If the owner is interested, he will definitely buy this one.

The manager of the Treasure Pavilion was a woman, dressed brightly and beautifully. As soon as she arrived, she punched Manager Chen and said, "You called me over in broad daylight. Aren't you afraid that others will know about our relationship?"

Shopkeeper Chen broke out in a sweat and kept blaming, "Isn't this a good thing? I asked you to come over and take a look."

Xiulan took a look and smiled while holding her handkerchief, "Why is there an outsider here? Tell me, what is it that made you, Chen San, call me over?"

Chen San whispered a few words in Xiulan's ear, and Xiulan's eyes immediately focused on Lin Yuzan, looking him up and down.

Lin Yuzan's ears turned slightly red, and he stood calmly by the side.

"You're still a young boy, how could you have that thing? Don't let me trick you into going there. Let me take a look." Xiulan, half covering her face with a handkerchief, also stepped forward to take a closer look.

When you go out to do business, you will inevitably encounter some things that are hard to describe. Only those who can remain calm are the ones who can accomplish great things.

Xiulan blushed as she finished reading the content, winked at Chen San, and then retreated to the outside. Chen San immediately smiled and said, "This painting is very good. I wonder how much money you want to pay for it."

Lin Yuzan breathed a sigh of relief and scratched his head in embarrassment. "To be honest, I won't sell this painting. I'll keep it for my daughter as a dowry. The shopkeeper knows me. I still have to copy books to make a living. It's not easy to find all these pigments."

Chen San was dumbfounded. If you don't want to sell it, what are you going to do with it? You are going to give it to my daughter as a dowry. Isn't the dowry matter the women in the family should be in charge of? Why are you, a man, interfering in it? You are even drawing a fire avoidance diagram for my daughter.

He looked at Lin Yuzan with disdain, and saw him put away the fire-avoiding map with a slightly embarrassed look on his face, and then carefully put it back into his sleeve.

"This young man is quite good to his daughter. He even prepares such a precious thing himself." Xiulan said sarcastically while standing at the door.

Lin Yuzan blushed and lowered her head. "With this, my daughter's future husband's family will always look at her with more respect. I also heard about it when I followed my senior brother to the Nalan family to borrow books. But there is no such thing at home, so I can only draw it myself."

"But I don't have much experience, so I can only ask the shopkeeper to check if there are any mistakes in the painting."

Xiulan and Chen San looked at each other. The Nalan family was one of the eight great families of the Zhou Dynasty. They were very friendly to scholars and would not refuse any scholar who wanted to borrow books. In his library, there was indeed a fire-avoiding painting by Master Shi, which was very exquisitely painted and the characters were very lifelike. However, scholars never looked at this, so they left it there without any worries.

Fire avoidance pictures are also sold in shops, but there are no such exquisite ones as those painted by Lin Yuzan. Once this thing appears, wealthy families will come to buy it. Just like Lin Yuzan said, in order to make her daughter look up to her son-in-law, to have a harmonious relationship with her husband, and to get more love from her husband, isn't it a way to win over men?

Even the worst hidden treasures can create a variety of happiness between couples, not to mention the beauty of these things that can immediately make people fantasize when they see them.

Regardless of whether Lin Yuzan lied or not, the painting must be taken.

In the eyes of Chen San and Xiulan, Lin Yuzan's repeated refusals were just to get a higher price.

"I'll give you five hundred taels, and you keep this map." Chen San said decisively.

Lin Yuzan was slightly stunned, and quickly waved his hand, "Shopkeeper, no, no, I am a serious scholar. If it weren't for my cute little girl, I really couldn't bear to see her suffer, I would never draw this kind of picture. Don't even mention five hundred taels, even if it's five thousand taels, I won't sell it. A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way."

"Then it's five thousand taels, but you have to draw a new one. We don't want the picture drawn on this shoddy paper." Xiulan continued.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yuzan left Wangyue Study with a sad face and a small bundle in his arms, looking like a lost soul. Ten days later, he would come again to exchange the money and the goods.
