Take Taobao to ancient times

"What did the child give you, and why did you explain the source?" After the two left, the second aunt asked directly.

"Probably something more expensive. The child gave a set of jewelry last time. Although it is not generous and expensive, it is indeed exquisite." Zhuang's mother opened the gift from Lu Siyu while talking. What is it today? She won't open it at a party, but today is a family feast, so it's okay to open it.

But after opening the box, even though she was already mentally prepared, Zhuang's mother was still taken aback by the things inside.

"Isn't it?"

"It's kind of like, if it's really Ye Mingzhu, it's no wonder that child is so solemn." Mrs. Song said from the side, but after all, she was well-informed, and she was only surprised for a moment before regaining her composure.

"I remembered that Jinhan said before that they encountered pirates at sea and were almost in danger. Fortunately, Xiao Yu reminded them, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. This thing was probably taken from a pirate ship, but I didn't expect such a precious night pearl Xiao Yu actually gave it to me after changing hands." Mother Zhuang shook her head helplessly, but there was a smile in her eyes.

"Yueyue is also very sensible, and it must have taken a lot of work to embroider such a large piece of embroidery." The little aunt said.

"Because aunt and little aunt have been taking good care of Yueyue, and Yueyue has no money, so she can only embroider by herself. In the future, she will embroider some more and give them to aunt and little aunt." Lu Syue said seriously.

"You child, why are you so sensible," Zhuang's mother smiled, pointing to the rest of the box, "Does Yueyue know what's in here?"

"Yes, very beautiful jewelry, very beautiful, very beautiful." Lu Siyue said seriously.

"Since Yueyue has said so, why not open it and see how beautiful it is." The little aunt said from the side, very interested in the gift from Lu Siyu.

Zhuang's mother didn't intend to hide it, and opened the box directly.

She had seen the gift from Lu Siyu before, it was indeed very delicate, even though she thought it was very beautiful every time she saw it, but as far as the style was concerned, she felt that she couldn't wear it anymore, so she had to put it in the jewelry box to collect dust.

But this time, when she opened the box, she saw a set of jewelry that suited her identity.

The jewelry is still as delicate as the previous set, but the point is that it still has a heavy feeling.

"Xiao Yu has such a good eye, this set of jewelry is very suitable for my sister." The little aunt smiled and praised this set of jewelry.

"This time, Xiaoyu has to pay again." Zhuang's mother laughed.

the other side.

"I remember Brother Yu liked that Ye Mingzhu very much. Why did you give the Ye Ming Pearl to your mother?" Zhuang Jinhan asked. He still remembered Lu Siyu's reaction when he saw the Ye Ming Pearl at first, so he thought of giving him the Ye Ming Pearl, hoping that he would able to be happy.

"I like it very much, but the night pearl is useless in my hands, so I want to give it to my aunt, and my aunt will be very happy." Lu Siyu said, but the focus is not on the night pearl, but on the set of jewelry.

The things on Taobao can be compared relatively speaking, and they are also relatively cheap. Many jewelry sets are also very cheap, but the materials of those jewelry cannot withstand scrutiny and are easy to oxidize. To pick a good one.

But he didn't dare to buy expensive ones, so he could only pick and choose relatively cheap jewelry, but the set of jewelry he gave to Zhuang's mother this time cost more than 1 yuan.

Seeing that the balance in Taobao is getting less and less, it is impossible for him not to feel distressed, but Zhuang's mother has been taking care of Yueyue and the others, and Zhuang Jinhan has also been taking care of him. With Song Jue's help, he should also give something back.

Anyway, he has already gained a foothold in ancient times. Sweet potatoes, corn, and soybeans have also been planted, and cotton will soon be planted across the country. indispensable existence.

But he still has some regrets. After all, Taobao came to this world with him. Even if he can't go back, the existence of Taobao is equivalent to a link, a link connecting him and modern times.

The existence of Taobao makes him always remember that he is a modern person, and his memories of modern times are real, and he can also buy some things that do not belong to this era through Taobao, as if he can still arrive by changing a courier, but Survive in relatively remote places.

It would be great if Taobao can also sell things, so that he no longer has to worry about the balance. Even if it is difficult for ancient things to sell in modern times due to technical limitations, as long as they can be sold, the balance in Taobao can be guaranteed. It will drop to zero, as long as Taobao does not disappear, it is also a kind of spiritual sustenance for him.

When thinking of this, he suddenly felt a heat in the palm of his hand, as if he had been scalded by something.

"Hiss—" he couldn't help but make a sound.

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Jinhan asked quickly.

"It's okay, I just accidentally kicked a stone just now." The hotness in the palm of his hand turned into a warm one, not as prickly as it was at the beginning, and he clenched his hand into a fist, fearing that Taobao would suddenly appear and be discovered, "Brother Zhuang, now uncle Are they talking about something important, shall we go by like this?"

"It's nothing. If there is something important, Dad will chat with someone in the study, and there will be people watching outside. After we pass, someone will report it." Zhuang Jinhan explained.

"That's good. It's not good to disturb uncle to discuss business with someone." Lu Siyu said quickly, silently heaving a sigh of relief.

"Well, don't worry, Brother Yu." Zhuang Jinhan said, and looked behind him again, wanting to find the stone that Lu Siyu kicked, but the roads in the Prime Minister's Mansion are specially paved, and the ground is round. Paved with stone and earth, there are no protruding stones at all.

He looked at Lu Siyu again, seeing his serious expression, he didn't ask any more questions, whether it was a stone or not, if Lu Siyu didn't want to tell, he naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.

After a while, the two arrived at their destination, and they saw Father Zhuang chatting with someone.

"Grandpa, father, second uncle, younger uncle." Zhuang Jinhan stepped forward and called.

Lu Siyu was about to speak, but he heard Grandpa Song wave his hand: "I heard that you have been calling after Jin Han, since you always call me Uncle Song Jue, you can also call me Grandpa."

Lu Siyu was stunned for a moment, but he followed Grandpa Song's words and called him Grandpa, and called his second uncle and uncle just like Zhuang Jinhan. As for Zhuang's father, he would naturally call him uncle.

The so-called calling with friends, calling grandpa and uncle is already very intimate, but when he comes to Zhuang's father, he naturally can't call him daddy like Zhuang Jinhan.

"Well, let's all sit down. We are talking about road construction. I heard that you also proposed this matter?" Grandpa Song asked.

"Yes, it's just a simple idea," Lu Siyu quickly replied, "The road construction is very important, but don't be in a hurry. If you can find something good that can pave the road, it would be the best."

"That's true. In fact, from ancient times to the present, every dynasty and every generation has attached great importance to road construction. It's just that every time a road is built, it takes a lot of time, and even wastes money and people. But if there is no road, once a war breaks out, food and grass cannot be transported. Words will be a disaster." Grandpa Song also felt deeply about this.

Lu Siyu deliberately checked the identity of Grandpa Song before, and knew that he was once a first-rank member of the imperial court, and only retired when he was old, but the few children are also very promising.

For example, the eldest son who is not here now is a famous frontier general who has been guarding the frontier.

The second son is also an official, and the daughter married Zhuang Xiang, which is considered to have left the official career. Only the youngest son, Song Jue, has chosen to take the road of doing business. As far as everyone is concerned, Song Jue is definitely the most rebellious one.

But fortunately, the times gave Song Jue an advantage in doing business, and also made him the first imperial merchant to work directly for the emperor.

In such an environment, Song Jue was one of the few capable people who were highly sensitive to politics and capable of doing business, so he was highly valued by the emperor.

"What my father-in-law said is very true. If there is such a thing, it can withstand wind and rain. Even if it has to waste people and money in a short period of time, the road should be rebuilt." In front of Grandpa Song, Father Zhuang also had to be inferior.

"It's not necessary to waste money and people. In fact, road construction can't be completed in a short period of time. Although the previous official roads were not good, they were not bad. In the past two years, the whole country has been planting crops. It is said that these crops can survive on the border. In this way, the problem of food and grass is no longer urgent, and even if there is an invasion of foreign enemies, it will be able to resist for a long time." Grandpa Song said earnestly, very optimistic about the current situation.

"The construction of the road will naturally be taken over by people from the Ministry of Industry. Although I am an imperial merchant, I still focus on business. Naturally, the emperor will find a solution for such a big matter." Song Jue said from the side, making up his mind not to interfere in this matter .

"Nothing." Grandpa Song glared at Song Jue, "Why didn't you want to let you be an official?"

"Father, it's been so many years, why are you still mentioning it?" Song Jue was helpless.

"Who made you so disobedient." Grandpa Song frowned and said angrily.

"Actually, my uncle is also very good now. The emperor trusts me very much." Zhuang Jinhan said from the side. Others thought that grandpa was fierce, but he didn't think it was probably because he was a grandson after a generation, so Grandpa Song always treated him well. He's fine, and don't blame him.

"If he hadn't come to where he is today, how could he be let go so easily." Grandpa Song snorted, and instead of looking at Song Jue, he looked at Lu Siyu, "I heard that you plan to go into business?"

"Well, I'm not suitable for officialdom." Lu Siyu said cautiously, thinking of what Grandpa Song said to Song Jue before, he felt that his ideas would be despised even more, but he is an outsider after all, Grandpa Song probably wouldn't say much .

"Your idea is right. Since it is not suitable for officialdom, it is better not to take it. The road of officialdom is not suitable for everyone, and those who are not suitable for it still want to go, and they will only break their heads and bleed." Grandpa Song said , as if he had forgotten his previous dissatisfaction with Song Jue for not taking an official career.

"Grandpa is right." Lu Siyu nodded hastily. He felt that what Grandpa Song said was too wise. He knew that it was not suitable for him to leave the officialdom. This was no longer a question of stupidity, but stupidity.

Song Jue, who was sitting on the side, looked at the two of them, and felt as if he had heard some strange conversation, which seemed unreasonable.

Lu Siyu was also deeply touched. He could see Song Jue's surprise. He thought that if Song Jue lived in modern times, he would definitely use two words to describe Grandpa Song, that is - double standard.
