Chapter 5 - 5 4 Xuanbao Confronts Someone
Chapter 5: Chapter 4 Xuanbao Confronts Someone Chapter 5: Chapter 4 Xuanbao Confronts Someone Lei Popo excitedly said, “These persimmons look great. Since it’s still early before they ripen, taking them to the city might fetch a good price. Leave a basket for Xuanbao and the kids to eat, sell the rest. Fourth brother, sixth brother, remember to buy some treats for Xuanbao with the silver.”
This was all thanks to the blessings Xuanbao had brought.
“Sure!” the two brothers responded in unison.
Ruo Chuan had already figured out how to sell the persimmons for a good price. “These persimmons are well-grown, bright red, and large. They’re fresh for now, and butlers from wealthy households will surely buy them once they see them. Fourth brother, I’ll take four baskets to the city, and you take two to the town. Price them as you see fit, but don’t go below fifteen coins per catty. If not, I’ll sell them myself tomorrow. You can even sell them individually, ten coins each, not less than five coins apiece.”
When it came to business, no one in the family could match Ruo Chuan.
The six Ruo brothers either loved literature or were dedicated to martial arts. The sixth, Ruo Chuan, was an exception—he loved to earn silver.
At the age of five, Ruo Chuan already knew how to weave baskets and sell them in the fields during the busy farming season. After selling baskets, he’d sell steamed buns, wild fruit, and water.
Everyone thought he was just messing about where no one would buy, but he ended up selling everything.
That busy farming season, at just five years old, he had earned twelve coins in silver.
Over the years, he traveled extensively with the Escort Agency but spent all his earnings on hiring renowned doctors from all over to treat his family’s illnesses.
The wandering monk treating Xuanbao had also been brought by Ruo Chuan.
Ruo Shui nodded in agreement. “Sure!”
The brothers quickly decided and loaded the persimmons onto the cart and covered them tightly with thick straw.
Ruo Shui moved the remaining three baskets to the west wing, planning to sell them tomorrow.
