"Did you hear? Mr. Cao from the Hesheng Silk Shop in the West City bought a carriage from the Curious Pavilion for over two thousand strings of cash! "
In a restaurant.
A burly man smacked his lips and savored the wine in his mouth as he whispered to his companion.
"What? Over two thousand strings of cash? What kind of carriage is that expensive? "
Another person at the same table exclaimed.
"Hey! You're so ignorant, aren't you? The Curious Pavilion released a new type of carriage yesterday. Not only is it spacious, but it's also very comfortable to sit in. There's almost no bumps. Also, it's said that this carriage is 30% faster than other carriages! Yesterday, this carriage was sold for 1,199 strings of cash! "
"Hiss! That's almost 1,200 strings of cash! That's already very expensive! Why is it sold for more than 2,000 strings of cash today? "
"Tsk tsk! I heard that the Curious Pavilion is out of stock. Mr. Cao insisted on buying the carriage today, so he had to add another 1,000 strings of cash to buy the carriage on display in front of the Curious Pavilion! "
"Heh! This Mr. Cao is really rich! "
"Ha! Who said he isn't? But his carriage is really comfortable! Is it worth that much? "
"What? Brother Fang, have you sat in it before? "
"Ahem! I went to try it yesterday, but I was a little late. The carriage was sold out before it was my turn! "
(Actually, even if there was stock yesterday, he wouldn't have been able to afford it! He was just curious and couldn't help but try it out for free.)
…
Similar exclamations could be heard in every corner of Chang 'an City. Cao Wendong's actions had inadvertently hyped up "Don't Touch Me".
The reason why the value of many things was so high in the end was because of hype. Just like the modern Bitcoin, it was extremely cheap at the beginning in 2009. At that time, someone used 10,000 Bitcoins to exchange for a hamburger. But in less than eight years, the value of Bitcoin skyrocketed by 100,000 times. The highest exchange price for RMB reached 30,000 USD. Wasn't this all hype? Pity for the unlucky kid who used 10,000 Bitcoins to exchange for a hamburger.
After this incident, the value of "Don't Touch Me" in the eyes of many people was much higher than the original price. When the Strange Taste Pavilion sold "Don't Touch Me" again, there would be even more people who wanted to buy carriages at the Strange Taste Pavilion with the intention of "picking up a bargain".
…
West City, Drunken Immortal Inn.
"Brother Zhang, how was it? Then don't touch it. You won't regret it if I buy it, right? "
Liao Xifan smiled proudly.
"Haha! No regrets! No regrets! Sitting in that carriage was simply too comfortable! My humble wife is overjoyed. Now, she won't have to suffer the hardships of running around when she visits her parents every year ~! "
Zhang Jingyang replied with a flushed face. Looking at this fellow's expression, she knew that he must have had a wonderful time last night.
"Haha! Brother Zhang, you're really flushed with success ~ ~! "
Liao Xifan teased with a smile.
"Ahem! Brother Liao, please don't laugh at me! "
Zhang Jingyang coughed awkwardly and then cupped his hands mysteriously.
"Brother Liao, now that you've asked this question, I do regret it ~ ~ I regret that I bought too little yesterday ~!"
"Oh ~? What do you mean by that? "
"Hehe, I just heard that the Strange Interest Pavilion won't be selling any carriages ~! And Chonghua Square's Cao Wendong increased the price by 1,000 strings of cash today and bought the carriage in front of the Strange Interest Pavilion for exhibition ~! Tsk tsk, if I could buy one more carriage yesterday and sell it today, wouldn't I be able to earn 1,000 strings of cash ~? "
Zhang Jingyang said greedily.
He was just a small businessman and couldn't be compared to Liao Xifan and Cao Wendong. To him, a deal that could earn him 1,000 strings of cash was already very tempting.
"Haha ~! Since that's the case, why don't you sell the carriage in your hands ~? After all, the Strange Interest Pavilion will still be selling carriages like this in the future ~! "
Liao Xifan, who had been in the business world for a long time, disagreed. He guessed that Cao Wendong was willing to pay 1,000 strings of cash because he wanted to curry favor with Li Zexuan. If Zhang Jingyang were to resell the carriage, he might not be able to earn 1,000 strings of cash. However, he could only think about it in his heart and couldn't say it out loud. Their relationship wasn't that close yet.
"Ugh ~! That won't do ~! What if I can't buy it in the future? Wouldn't my wife cause trouble at home ~? I can't sell it! I definitely can't sell it ~! "
Zhang Jingyang was stunned and hurriedly shook his head.
"Haha ~! Sister-in-law is really good at managing a household ~! Hahahaha ~! "
… … …
"Tsk tsk, Little Xuan is still the best! This carriage is worth more than 2,000 strings of cash in the blink of an eye! Haha! I can show off in front of Fang Yiai and Du He later! Uncle Fang and Uncle Du definitely won't give them so much money to buy a carriage, haha! "
After lunch, Cheng Chumo came to his backyard and touched the carriage that Li Zexuan gave him and laughed.
Obviously, he had also heard about what happened in front of the Strange Interest Pavilion. However, this idiot even knew how to "show off" now. He was really a genius!
"Hehe ~! Young master is amazing ~! "
Cheng Chumo's page boy, Jiang Wuyun, came over and flattered him.
After spending so much time with Cheng Chumo, he knew this joker's character very well. Everything had to be coaxed, otherwise, everyone would have a hard time.
"Haha! Jiang Wuyun, won't you feel honored to be driving a carriage that costs 2,199 strings of cash in the future ~? Other pages don't have this kind of treatment ~! "
Cheng Chumo patted Jiang Wuyun's shoulder and laughed smugly.
"Uh ~! It's my honor ~! I'm deeply honored! Thank you, young master ~! "
Jiang Wuyun was stunned. When he saw the smile on Cheng Chumo's face gradually freeze, he hurriedly echoed.
He was completely convinced by Cheng Chumo's brain circuit. He always thought of things that others wouldn't think of.
"Haha ~! Then do your best ~! I have high hopes for you ~! "
Jiang Wuyun: "…" (High hopes, my ass ~!)

Yongle Lane, Li Residence.
After a bustling morning, the bedding ceremony was finally completed in a joyous and warm atmosphere.
One had to admit that it was really troublesome to get married in ancient times. If it was in modern times, who would have the time and effort to find a wedding company and get everything done in one go!
Although that was the case, they had nothing to do anyway. It was quite refreshing to go through the entire process of an ancient wedding. It was just a little tiring!
But for the sake of this white and tender girl, everything was worth it!
Li Zexuan thought to himself.
After setting up a few tables and entertaining Hu Hanyun and his wife, as well as the youths of the Han Family Manor, they completed their mission today and returned to the Han Family Manor.
"Xuan 'er, since you've resigned, you should stay at home and prepare for the wedding these two days. Don't go out and cause trouble ~!"
Li Jingmo glanced at his son and said worriedly after sending off the bedding team sent by the Han Family Manor.
Li Zexuan wasn't the only one who was busy with the marriage between the Han Family and the Li Family. Li Jingmo and Mrs. Li were even busier. The two elders were handling everything. Old Man Li, who was already in a terrible fix, was really afraid that his son would cause trouble at this crucial time.
"… Father ~! Am I the kind of person who likes to cause trouble ~? Don't worry ~! "
Li Zexuan's face was full of black lines. No matter how he heard it, it didn't sound right!
"Heh ~! Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are ~? Remember, don't cause trouble these two days ~! "
Li Jingmo waved his hand in annoyance and went on to do other things.
Li Zexuan felt even more wronged than Dou E at this moment.
