Chapter 151 Konbu's Background
At this time, Kunbu, who Lin Ke was curious about, had already become friends with Lin Heng.
After dinner, he took Lin Heng and Old Man Jiang into Sukhbaru's tent to discuss business.
There are many gems in their tribe, as well as many cattle, sheep and horses.
It was rare to run into merchants from the Central Plains, so they planned to buy more things.
Especially salt, which is an indispensable item for a tribe.
After looking at the things in Lin Heng’s grocery store, Kunbu was also extremely curious.
Brother Lin and his group are just a few of us, so how did they manage to bring so many things to the grassland?
You have to know that it took him a lot of effort to cross the border line back then.
Walking on small paths and climbing cliffs is a life-threatening situation.
We also encountered a pack of wolves in the mountains.
If he had not been rescued by Sukhbaru, his body would have disappeared into thin air by now.
Thinking of this, he smiled gratefully at Sukhbaru.
Sukhbaru was chatting with Lin Heng. He seemed to sense something and looked up at Kunbu.
Just then he met Kombu's eyes and they smiled at each other.
For the first time, Lin Heng felt an indescribable feeling between the two men.
But he didn't think much about it, and continued to introduce the goods in the grocery store to the two of them.
Salt, sugar, silk, cotton cloth, ready-made clothes, backpacks, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, various seasonings, oilcloth, water bags, earthenware jars, and porcelain, everything is available.
In addition, there is a pair of tall glasses with vertical stripes.
When Kombu saw the pair of glass cups, he couldn't take his eyes away.
He had never seen this thing in the Central Plains. Maybe it was something that only the nobles in the Central Plains could use.
Although he knew that they should exchange more necessities such as salt and sugar at this stage, such things are really hard to come by.
This is a treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation in the tribe.
If one day they are no longer satisfied with staying in this small tribe, they can present this treasure to the royal court, and maybe they can be crowned a king.
When Sukhbaru saw the look in Konbu's eyes, he knew that this pair of transparent and colorful cup containers were good things.
So he asked Lin Heng, "Brother Lin, are you selling this treasure too?"
Lin Heng said with a distressed look on his face: "This is a treasure that my father brought back from overseas when he was young. He originally didn't intend to sell it, but it was coveted by others when it was left at home, so he reluctantly brought it out and planned to exchange it for cattle, sheep, horses, or gold and silver. It can be considered as spending money to avoid disaster."
After hearing Lin Heng's words, Kunbu lowered his eyes, as if he had thought of something.
His attitude towards Lin Heng improved a bit.
He took over and asked, "I wonder how Brother Lin plans to sell this treasure?"
Lin Heng said in embarrassment: "I originally wanted to keep these as a family heirloom, so I didn't ask my father for the price. Now my father is gone, so~~~~, Brother Kunbu, what do you think they are worth? I'll listen to you."
Although Kunbu knew that Lin Heng said this on purpose, he was still pleased by his words.
There is a feeling of being trusted and needed.
So he pondered for a moment and said, “Since this thing is your family heirloom, it must be priceless to you.
But Brother Lin did the right thing. Rather than staying at home and being coveted by others, eventually causing the destruction of your family, it is better to sell it early and exchange it for some gold and silver, or the cattle, sheep and horses on our grassland.
But there are only a few of you. If you exchange them for cattle, sheep, and horses, there will be too many for you to carry. How about exchanging them for gold, silver, and gems?"
Sukhbaru looked at Khumbu approvingly.
As expected of his military advisor, his tribe has plenty of gold, silver, and gems.
Lin Heng bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Kunbu, for thinking of me. Whatever you say is what I will do."
Kunbu felt more and more that Brother Lin trusted him so much, and he must not let Brother Lin down.
So he discussed with Lin Heng and decided to exchange a box of gold and a large box of gems for the pair of glass cups.
Lin Heng thought for a moment and then agreed to Kunbu's proposal.
Anyway, he knew that since his daughter could take out a pair of glass cups, the old immortal must have a lot of them, so he could help his daughter sell them with confidence.
After exchanging the glass cups, Sukhbaru used fifteen sheep to exchange for a pound of refined salt, twelve sheep to exchange for a pound of coarse salt, and five cows to exchange for a pound of white sugar, and finalized the quantity of salt and sugar to be exchanged with Lin Heng.
Finally, at Konbu's suggestion, some of the other things in the grocery store were also exchanged for horses.
When Lin Ke and the others returned from the horse farm, the adults had already completed all the transactions.
It was getting dark by then, and Kunbu invited them to stay one more night and leave tomorrow.
Lin Heng also readily agreed.
In the evening, Lin Heng and Old Man Jiang accompanied Sukhbaru and Kumbu to drink.
When they were drunk, Kumbula pulled Lin Heng and told him his story.
It turned out that his father was a young herbalist who lived on the border between Izumo and Dayan. Once when he went up the mountain to collect herbs, he accidentally stepped on empty air and fell off a cliff, landing in the territory of Dayan.
He was rescued by a girl who was hunting in the mountains.
The girl noticed that the man's clothes were different from those of the people in their Great Yan Kingdom, and she looked at the place where he fell, and guessed that the young man might be from Izumo.
However, she couldn't just stand by and watch him die, so she bandaged the boy's wound with the medicine she carried with her.
He then asked the guards behind him to take the boy back.
After more than a month of treatment by the court doctor, the boy finally woke up.
But the boy had hit his head and couldn't remember his name.
So the young man stayed in the palace temporarily.
After a few months of getting along, the boy fell in love with the girl.
And the girl happens to like the boy.
In addition, since they only have this one daughter in their palace, Old Man Wang plans to let this young man be a live-in son-in-law for their palace.
He was originally worried about letting his only daughter marry into another family and be bullied by her mother-in-law.
Isn't it just right to have a ready-made young man now?
So what if the identity is unknown?
This young man is good-looking, has a good temper, knows some medical skills, and has no father or mother. Isn't he the best candidate for his son-in-law?
Besides, with the foundation he has accumulated, even if his daughter and son-in-law do nothing, they can spend it all in several lifetimes.
Old Man Wang had this idea, but he didn't dare to tell his daughter. He wanted to discuss it with the boy first and then tell his daughter to avoid disappointment.
Fortunately, this boy was sensible and admitted that he also liked his daughter.
Old man Wang selected an auspicious date and happily arranged a marriage between his daughter and the young man. A year later, when his daughter came of age, he could hold a wedding for the two.
Everything went smoothly afterwards, and they gave birth to a boy in the first year of their marriage.
Old man Wang happily named the child Wang Jie.
I hope my grandson will become an outstanding person and inherit the Wang family's legacy.
As for his daughter and son-in-law, it seems they are unreliable.
One is passionate about medicine, while the other only has her husband and son in her heart.
Therefore, Wang Jie has been carefully trained by Old Man Wang since he was young.
