Finding Wealth in Danger

Si Qing then pursed his lips, smiled, and said: "Actually, the method is very simple, wouldn't it be better to just put the tail feathers back on?

But this prerequisite requires tail feathers. When you return home, you can have someone buy the peacock feather secretly, and then find a skilled craftsman to take it back."

County Magistrate Zhao listened to her idea and felt that it was a bit unreliable no matter how he heard it: "Won't the tail feathers that were taken back fall off?"

Once it falls off, it will be a serious crime to deceive the emperor, not to mention the official position, and even the head will not be saved.

Unexpectedly, Si Qing smiled mysteriously: "Why must it fall off? There are all kinds of wonders in this world. If you don't try it, how will you know if this method is effective?"

Magistrate Zhao fell silent after hearing this.

Xing Wu couldn't help but ask: "Can you really guarantee that it won't fall off when you put it back on?"

Si Qing jumped down from his chair and walked up to them with his little hands behind his back:

"Why should I guarantee it? After the peacock is brought back, the credit will be yours, not mine. People say that wealth is gained through danger, and peacocks are like this anyway."

Looking for wealth in danger?

When County Magistrate Zhao heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly asked her: "Then where should I go to find such a skilled craftsman?"

Si Qing: "There are some skilled people in our village who are good at this kind of craftsmanship. They can attach the tail feathers and prevent them from falling off easily. However, the labor cost is not low."

"How much silver is needed?" Magistrate Zhao asked.

"Ten taels of silver." Si Qing held up two small slaps.

Magistrate Zhao was silent for a moment and said: "If we can really do what you said, it won't be expensive."

"Prerequisite, Mr. Zhao, you must first find the peacock feather. Otherwise, no matter how skilled you are, it will be difficult for a skilled woman to make a meal without straw."

Seeing that he had been persuaded by him, Si Qing was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was very calm, and he spread his hands to remind him.

Magistrate Zhao naturally understood this, stroked his beard, pondered for a moment and said: "I will go back and send someone to secretly look for peacock feathers. After collecting all the peacock feathers, I will send Xing Wu to find you."

Si Qing nodded: "Okay, I will prepare people who are good at this skill in advance."

Si Zhengping became extremely anxious when he saw that his aunt actually said that she would provide the county magistrate with someone to attach tail feathers.

Their village is a group of farmers, how can they have such ability?

If this is agreed to, and the county magistrate wants to hire someone, where can he find such a person?

Si Zhengping looked at Si Qing, as if he wanted to say something but did not dare to speak. Fortunately, Magistrate Zhao and others did not notice him at this time.

Now that they have a feather catcher, the biggest question for them now is how to buy peacock feathers.

There are no peacocks in Da Yong, let alone peacock feathers. The only ones with peacock feathers are those powerful people in Beijing.

Magistrate Zhao's head is as big as a bucket.

Si Qing was extremely happy.

After all, how can she be unhappy after making a lot of money?

However, she was happy because she did not forget about the Yangshan Mountain. She even reminded Magistrate Zhao: "Sir, is this method worth a mountain?"

Magistrate Zhao: "Natural value."

"Then Sir, why don't you write down the receipt? I can take people to the county government office tomorrow to register." Si Qing looked at Magistrate Zhao with bright eyes.

County Magistrate Zhao knew that she must be worried about him, so he motioned for pen and ink.

Li Daya quickly took the pen and ink from Si Qing's study. Magistrate Zhao took it, waved his hand, wrote down the writing and handed it to Si Qing.

Si Qing took the document, looked at it carefully, and made sure there was no problem. Then he showed a bright smile to Magistrate Zhao: "Thank you, sir. You can take the peacock away now."

Magistrate Zhao was no longer polite and signaled to his cronies to hug the peacock. Before leaving, Si Qing, in order to show his good after-sales service attitude, specially put a bright red satin dress on the peacock.
