Chapter 2073 (1/2)

The next day, it was the day of releasing the list.

Song Yan did not show any uneasiness or uneasiness, but waited patiently.

Near eleven o'clock.

Finally, the congratulator came. He won, not the first, but the second.

But now, he can't be called a Jinshi. He thinks that only after passing the imperial examination can he have the status of a Jinshi.

Although it's only the second place.

But it is still a very important thing, so many people came to congratulate song Yan. Even in the evening of that day, he was summoned to the past to do his best.

The palace test will be held in seven days.

Don't give in the white paper, you can get a status of giving the Jinshi birth.

The first-class Jinshi will be selected by the invigilators and handed over to the emperor.

Hou Wenchang, the Marquis of Puyang, was an acute man. After being instructed by song Yan, on the day of releasing the list, he invited the other three idle marquis to the house for a banquet.

And the glasses that served them were all glasses.

These three Marquises, all of whom have great wealth, are very fond of such delicate glasses. They ask where the cups come from.

Hou Puyang didn't tell the truth, but boasted that he had spent a lot of money to get ten sets from overseas.

I heard that there are ten sets of glasses in the Houfu of Puyang.

All three Dukes have the cheek to buy one.

This cup is really beautiful. If it is used to entertain distinguished guests, it will definitely have face.

Finally, at Hou's unwillingness, the three Marquises took one set of cups respectively at a price of 32000 yuan.

Seeing off the three Marquises, Hou Wenchang couldn't help but shut up and laugh.

Three sets of cups brought him sixty-six thousand liang of profits. If we sell all ten sets of cups, we will not have more than two hundred thousand yuan of profits, which is more than the income of all industries of his Houfu in one year.

You should know that the property of his Houfu in a year is only one hundred twenty-three thousand Liang silver.

It's no wonder that song Yan's bookstore is just a small profit. If he can sell more than 100 sets a year, isn't he making millions of silver?

The three princes who bought the glasses were also showy people. On the second day when they bought them back, they invited a group of Lords from their homes to dinner.

When they found out that the cup was from Puyang mansion, the Lords killed Puyang mansion one after another and emptied the remaining seven sets of glasses.

Hou Wenchang, the Marquis of Puyang, made a huge profit of 220000 Liang, which almost didn't make him crazy.

And the lords who didn't buy the glasses didn't leave.

After Hou Wenchang promised again and again that the new wine cups would be delivered to their house in person, the lords were unwilling to go.

After sending off these lords, Hou Wenchang immediately ordered people to contact song Yan secretly, and also brought 80000 liang of silver.

Butler Hou waited until nine o'clock in the evening, and then came back from Song Yan.

But song Yan went to visit Cai Zixiao and told him that he had won the second place.

In fact, Cai Zixiao knows better than him, but this is an attitude.
