Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 109 Two Jin of Gold in Exchange for Jadeite

On his way to the Lou family's house, Wang Feng noticed that there were many more joint defense teams patrolling the streets, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

In this era without surveillance, what could he possibly do, and who could possibly find out that it was him?

Unless we catch him red-handed, given his current physique and strength of two thousand jin, it's hard to say whether the army can catch him even if they come.

His physique is too strong now. If a regular handgun were to hit him, it would probably only cause minor scratches at most. Add to that his running speed of 120 mph, and even if the army came, would they be able to easily aim at him? He's not a dead man, standing there letting them shoot him.

When Wang Feng arrived at the Lou family's villa, Lou Xiao'e saw him at the second-floor window and quickly ran up to greet him.

"Brother Feng, you're finally here! I've been itching to see you for two days. If I wasn't worried about running into Xu Damao in courtyard number 95, I would have gone to find you."

Wang Feng ruffled Lou Xiao'e's hair and grinned mischievously, "Is it just itchy inside? Doesn't it itch anywhere else?"

Lou Xiao'e blushed and gave Wang Feng a coquettish glare: "Brother Feng, you're so mean, I'm not talking to you anymore."

"Hahaha."

Upon entering the villa, I did not see Tan Yali, but only Lou Bancheng drinking tea in the living room.

Lou Bancheng waved enthusiastically to Wang Feng when he saw him.

"Wang Feng, come, come, come and try Dad's good tea. Let me tell you, this is genuine West Lake Longjing tea. I had a lot of trouble getting it."

Wang Feng sat down, picked up his teacup, and a rich aroma of tea wafted into his nostrils. He took a sip and nodded, saying, "Good tea."

Actually, Wang Feng didn't know much about tea, but this tea was indeed quite fragrant, at least much more fragrant than his own, and in any case, it tasted better than his.

"Haha, Wang Feng, if you like it, you can pack half a pound to take away later. I only have a pound right now, and you can't buy this tea on the market," Lou Bancheng said generously.

Lou Xiao'e, seeing that Wang Feng liked to drink tea, pouted at Lou Bancheng and said:

"Dad, you don't usually drink tea. Since Feng likes it, why not just give him the whole jin (500ml)? Giving him only half a jin is too stingy!"

"Well."

Lou Bancheng glared at Lou Xiao'e fiercely, then gave an awkward laugh:

"Hehe, since Wang Feng likes to drink it, take it all. Anyway, I don't usually drink tea much."

"Thank you, Dad."

Wang Feng smiled slightly and agreed without being polite.

"By the way, Dad, besides bringing my son back, I also have a business deal I'd like to discuss with you."

"What kind of business?" Lou Bancheng asked, somewhat surprised.

Seeing that no outsiders were present, Wang Feng went straight to the point:

"Dad, it's like this, I know you have a lot of jade and gemstones, and I'd like to exchange all of them for gold. What do you think?"

"Exchange all my jadeite? Wang Feng, are you kidding me? Do you know how much gold all my jadeite is worth? Wang Feng, if you need jadeite, I'll just give you some. Don't talk about exchanging it."

Lou Bancheng had previously investigated Wang Feng in detail. His father had fled famine to Beijing. How could such an ordinary family offer to exchange all of his jade and gemstones? Was this a joke?

Wang Feng smiled slightly and asked earnestly, "Dad, how much gold is all your jade and gemstones worth?"

Seeing that Wang Feng didn't seem to be joking, Lou Bancheng remained silent for a moment, then held up two fingers: "At least two hundred catties of gold."

Upon hearing that two hundred catties of gold were required, Lou Xiao'e angrily said, "Dad, Feng is your son-in-law. How can you accept so much gold from him? I think you should just accept fifty catties as a token. Aren't you buying up gold in large quantities? In the end, you'll just exchange these jade and gemstones for gold with others. Instead of doing that, you might as well exchange them for Feng at a lower price."

"Cough cough."

Lou Bancheng coughed dryly, speechless as he looked at his precious daughter who was already leaking air, and said in a deep voice:

"I only said two hundred catties because Wang Feng is my son-in-law. If it were an outsider, they wouldn't even dream of it without three hundred catties of gold."

Wang Feng glared at Lou Xiao'e, who immediately fell silent. Wang Feng then nodded to Lou Bancheng and said:

"Dad, two hundred catties of gold is no problem. Please take me to see the jade and gemstones first."

"Are you serious? Wang Feng, do you really have that much gold?" Lou Bancheng asked again, uncertainly.

Wang Feng smiled and nodded: "Dad, don't worry, I can still produce two hundred catties of gold."

"Wang Feng, I won't ask why you need so much jade and gemstones. I believe you have your uses for them. Come with me."

Lou Bancheng took a deep breath. He was starting to doubt Lou San and his men's abilities. Weren't they supposed to be refugees who had fled to Beijing? Could any refugee just casually produce two hundred catties of gold?

Even now, he only has 1100 jin of gold, which he acquired over many years using other assets. But who is he? Lou Bancheng. The name Bancheng isn't given lightly. As for Wang Feng, well, he's still Wang Feng.

He couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it too much. Anyway, Wang Feng was now his son-in-law, and it was better for Wang Feng to have money than not.

Lou Bancheng led Wang Feng and Lou Xiao'e to a storage room, turned a large wine jar on the ground to the right, and a staircase leading to an underground secret room appeared before the three of them.

Lou Xiao'e hugged Wang Feng's arm and smiled sweetly, "Brother Wang Feng, let's go in quickly. I've been into this underground secret room many times. My dad keeps a lot of his treasures here."

Upon entering the underground chamber, Wang Feng was somewhat shocked. The chamber was over a hundred square meters in size and contained hundreds of boxes of various sizes.

Wang Feng used his spiritual sense to examine all the boxes and found that most of them were antiques, with only a small amount of gold and jade.

Lou Bancheng pointed to more than a dozen large boxes and said, "Wang Feng, this is all the jade and gemstones I have. Come and take a look."

Wang Feng already knew what was going on inside, but he still pretended to open all the dozen or so boxes.

"Dad, with so many jade stones, I really did get a good deal from you this time. Thank you, Dad," Wang Feng said sincerely.

Lou Bancheng waved his hand and laughed, "Haha, it's alright, it's alright. We're all family anyway. If I dared to take more of your gold, my son would be sulking with me every day."

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, but Wang Feng wouldn't let her speak, so she didn't argue back.

"Wang Feng, find a place, and I'll have Lou San and the others deliver it to you," Lou Bancheng said.

Wang Feng took out a note and handed it to Lou Bancheng, saying, "Thank you, Dad. Just have them deliver it to this address. As for the gold, I'll send it to you tomorrow."

"become."
