    Indeed, 300,000 taels are required to get started, which means that 300,000 taels are definitely not enough to accomplish the tasks entrusted by the shopkeeper!  Now I only have 149,500 taels on hand. What should I do? How can I earn hundreds of thousands of taels of real money in less than half an hour?

    Tian Yin was completely in trouble now. Before, he just wanted to make some money, and Master Leng really cooperated, so he easily got 150,000 taels of silver.  Speaking of which, I didn't cheat him. That rare piece of old pit glaze seed was worth the money. This kind of easy and conscience-free money-making opportunity is obviously something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought. In other words, I want to  I'm afraid it's impossible to do it again.  If the rough stones of Laokeng Glaze were seen everywhere, they wouldn't be "rare", and if Mr. Leng, a bastard like Mr. Leng, was everywhere, he wouldn't be "annoying".  []

    Of course, with your special eyesight, you can go to "Diaoyutai" to buy some beautiful rough stones, resell them, and earn money. However, it is impossible to earn dozens of dollars in half an hour using this method.  Ten thousand taels.  Of the remaining methods, the quickest is

    "How about trying your luck at the gambling house?" Miss Shen asked Tian Yin with a "pure and innocent" face, and she did not forget to add a beautiful and evil smile.

    Tian Yin's gambling luck has never been prosperous. When he was at Tianmen Pass, he would occasionally bet money with other soldiers. Tian Yin would definitely lose. Strictly speaking, he had never won.  Therefore, Tianyin never thought about going to the gambling house to make money from the beginning. If the gambling house's money was so easy to get, there wouldn't be so many unlucky people who have lost everything and have nothing.

    "This approach is inappropriate."

    "What's wrong? Just bet everything. If you're lucky, you'll make a lot of money!"

    "What bad luck?"

    "Anyway, you can't make that much money, so I have to rely on your luck." I don't know if it's Tianyin's illusion, but I always feel that Miss Shen is as happy as she wants now, and she's in trouble for this girl.  Why are you so happy?

    "You are the daughter of the Shen family, but all your family's money was won in the gambling house?"

    Upon hearing this, Miss Shen immediately suppressed her smile, her pretty face turned as cold as ice, and shouted at Tianyin: "How is that possible! My family is doing a legitimate business, and it has only accumulated over time that we are where we are today, you annoying grandson.  She actually suspected the origin of our Shen family's money!" Miss Shen is still quite proud of the Shen family, although her relationship with Member Shen is not harmonious.

    "If that's the case, why do you want me to go to a gambling house? Can I just use the money that I misappropriated with peace of mind?"

    "You!" Miss Shen suddenly remembered that if she was reasonable, she would never be able to defeat this "grandson" who was always reasonable, so she simply took action and hit Tianyin with a raised hand.  How could Tian Yin, who was so skilled in martial arts, be afraid of such a soft slap? Moreover, he regretted what he had just said. It was indeed a bit mean. No matter how unruly Miss Shen was, she was still a girl, and no matter how young she was, she was still a man. She really shouldn't have  , just take this slap as an apology.

    Therefore, Tianyin immediately relaxed his muscles and restrained his vague aura, so as not to hurt Miss Shen.  I couldn't help laughing in my heart, what was I doing? After being beaten, I had to be careful not to hurt the person who hit me. This was really baffling.

    "Pa!" Familiar location, familiar feeling, Tian Yin suddenly remembered that night at Guiyunju, when he was also slapped by the unreasonable Miss Shen, and his eyes were filled with emotion.  Tianyin's reaction and eyes were beyond Miss Shen's expectations, especially the feeling of this slap, which Miss Shen actually felt familiar with.

    "You! Why don't you hide! You are an idiot. I am going to beat you, but you are standing there like a piece of wood?" Miss Shen started to yell at Tianyin again, as if she couldn't be called like this.  He said carelessly, "Do you know that you can't even move, so it's very boring and unfulfilling for me to fight!"

    What?  A sense of accomplishment?  I still have to put on a good show about my relationship. It would be better if there is another scene where I kneel down and beg the heroine for her life. Will this deadly girl be willing to give up?  Forget it, I'd better ignore her, but speaking of wood, there is a wooden box in my arms, which contains a painting given by the shopkeeper, or in exchange for it.

    Thinking about how he got into such big trouble just for an unknown painting and a story about clouds and mountains, Tianyin even admired his "idiot".  He looked down at the simple wooden box in his arms. It was about five feet long, four inches wide and four inches high. Thinking about it, a painting that was nearly half the size of a wall would not be too small when rolled up.  However, this wooden box is still too heavy. Even with my own strength, it feels a bit heavy. I guess it must not be an ordinary material.

    Tian Yin ignored the angry Miss Shen next to him and carefully observed the wooden box in his hand. With this weight and color, it couldn't be Tian Yin raised his head suddenlyHe raised his head and looked at Miss Shen confidently in his eyes: "Where are my clothes?"

    "Huh? What clothes?"

    "These are the clothes I changed into when I came here." Tian Yin looked at Miss Shen's empty hands, and then looked around. It turned out that she had just thrown the package of clothes aside when she was arrogant.

    "I have to change clothes first!"

    "Why!"

    "You will know when the time comes."

    ¡°Tell me now!¡±

    "If I don't tell you, I'll treat it as your punishment for throwing my clothes on the ground, hahahahahaha!" Seeing Miss Shen hesitate to speak and curious, Tian Yin suddenly understood why Miss Shen just  So happy.

    As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and his horse relies on his saddle. As soon as Tian Yin changed his clothes, he immediately changed from an unremarkable farm boy to a scholarly and heroic young man. The contrast was so big that Miss Shen couldn't help but be stunned. Before  I really didn't notice it, but it turns out that this annoying "grandson" doesn't look too bad. Well, he must be a good guy but a loser!

    Tian Yin walked forward with the wooden box in his arms. Miss Shen hurriedly followed him as soon as he saw it, "Hey, hey, hey, where are you going? Come from the truth, I will never follow you stupidly again!"

    ¡°Go to a place where curios are bought and sold.¡±

    "You want to sell this painting? Is this dirty painting worth hundreds of thousands of taels?"

    "almost!"

    After three or two rounds, Tian Yin and Miss Shen arrived at the Baobao Di, a place selling curios, rare books, musical instruments, and technical gadgets.  Looking left and right, Tianyin unexpectedly entered the largest pawn shop!  The furnishings and layout of this pawn shop are quite tasteful, but the number of people who come is really pitiful, less than ten people including Tian Yin and the other two.

    "Are you two watching or pawn?" Ordinary people probably think that pawn shops are places where you can exchange things for money to save money. This view is incomplete. In fact, there are definitely a lot of treasures in pawn shops, and it is conceivable that most of them are family heirlooms.  The item is in excellent condition.  Some people with extra money will come here to try their luck, and maybe they can come across some "dead-rate" treasures, so this shop owner with a kind face and a very polite tone asked this question.

    "Dang!" Tian Yin moved the wooden box to the top of the table, took out the paintings inside, pointed to the empty wooden box and said to the shop owner: "Two hundred thousand taels!"

    Just a dirty and old wooden box like this, two hundred thousand taels?  If it weren't for the fact that Tian Yin and Miss Shen were dressed like people of high status, the store would have kicked them out.  I saw the store owner looking at the wooden box carefully, groping inch by inch with his hands, and sniffing with his nose for some reason. Suddenly, the store owner stood up and shouted: "Jin Cai, bring me a glass of wine!"

    This "gold money" is really nimble. As soon as the store owner finished speaking, a young man brought up a glass of old wine. The rich aroma, golden color, and the store owner's frown immediately showed that this cup  Wine is worth a lot of money.  The shopkeeper used his fingernails to grind off a few fine shavings from the corners of the wooden box, and then put the shavings into the wine.

    It was very magical. The originally dark sawdust immediately "melted" in the wine, dyeing the wine a light pink. Then the shopkeeper poured the wine glass and found that the content was no longer wine, but pink, like catkins.  Just general stuff.  Seeing this, the store owner's face suddenly became very enthusiastic, "One hundred thousand taels, what do you think, sir?"

    "Small-leaf red sandalwood has always been rare in large materials. The material is mostly five inches in size. Any larger than that and it will be hollow and become waste. Therefore, the utensils made of small-leaf sandalwood usually cost around 50,000 taels. I believe the store owner knows this!"  Yin saw that the shopkeeper's face was not natural, so he continued: "This wooden box is obviously made of one piece of material, well preserved and has some age. It is five feet long and five inches high. How can such a rare thing be found?  It¡¯s worth so much, please don¡¯t destroy your own sign!¡±

    "It seems that the young master is actually a knowledgeable person, I'm ashamed of myself!" The store owner bowed deeply, which was regarded as an apology. Tian Yin appreciated this open and cheerful style very much, and nodded and was not prepared to embarrass the store owner.

    "In that case, does the store know what to do?"

    "I understand, I understand, but for the sake of safety, I still have to ask about the origin of this box. Of course, I can also see that this young master and this young lady are both of high status, so I am a little confused. How can I give up this box as a young master?  Are you selling this rare box?"

    "I'm going to Zhenshan Hall, do you understand?"

    Hearing this, the store owner immediately looked like he suddenly realized that this should be no problem, "Then as the young master said, two hundred thousand taels, with an interest of two cents, due in three months, do you think it is suitable?"

    "It's fair!" Tian Yin took the pawn tickets and money that Jin Cai handed over, and walked straight away with Miss Shen.

    ? ?Dad, why are you willing to pay two hundred thousand taels just for this broken box?  "When Tianyin and the two walked away, Jin Caicai asked in a low voice, "Even if it is really small leaf red sandalwood, it is only 150,000 taels at most. This, this"

    "You don't understand this. From what the young master said, it's obvious that he didn't bring enough money at the moment. This thing is just lying around here, and it will definitely be redeemed. The higher the price at this time, the more we earn.  The more! Even if the young master doesn't want this thing, with my father's ability to do some fine work on this material, it will be easy to get it. Then the value of this box will naturally increase exponentially. No matter what, you will make a profit! Your father will  I¡¯ve never done any money-losing business, do you understand?¡±
