Chapter 430: The Cornerstone of a Business Empire
Lan Niang was stunned for a moment and muttered in a low voice: "I was holding it securely, but Mr. Pian yelled at me in the room, so I dropped it. Besides, it's just a teapot. I'll pay for it as much as you can get."
Pei Rong gritted his teeth angrily, "This teapot unique to Xihu is rare and cannot be found, and it cannot be measured by money!"
"You didn't spend any money when you bought it?"
"Of course it did."
"How many?"
"Ten thousand taels!"
Lan Niang was startled, "Ten thousand taels?"
"snort!"
"You must have been deceived. I'll go to the market tomorrow and buy you one. It only costs a tael of silver."
Pei Rong's eyes widened, "You, you..."
"By the way, what were you yelling at just now?"
"I didn't ask me to throw the big wooden box in the house into the outer courtyard. Who moved it here?"
"How could you throw it away? It's all your clothes."
"I've worn it a few times and I don't want to wear it anymore."
"You are too wasteful."
"You..." Pei Rong waved his hand, "This is not the point. The point is that I have repeatedly told you not to move heavy objects. Why do you still move it? You didn't take my words to heart at all!"
Lan Niang thought of something and twitched the corner of her mouth. Just as she was about to explain, her eyes inadvertently swept across the courtyard and spotted Liu Yunxiang and the others. She felt happy and hurriedly ran over.
"Yunxiang!"
Liu Yunxiang took a few steps forward and shook hands with Lan Niang, "Sister Lan, is this going smoothly?"
Lan Niang nodded hurriedly, "It went well. I saw the mountains and rivers, passed through desert valleys, and saw the scenery of Western Vietnam. This trip was so worth it."
"That's good."
At this time, Lan Niang saw Tuoba Fei'er standing next to Liu Yunxiang. Her smile faded a little and froze on her face. She didn't know how to express herself, "Miss Tuoba..."
"Fox!" Tuoba Feier glared at Lan Niang.
Lan Niang was a little helpless, "You should tell me, we have been looking for you in Tongliang City for a long time."
"You still blame me? It's obviously you who seduced my fiancé. It's you who made me angry!"
"Miss Tuoba, should I ask you for an explanation?"
"You! You got the advantage and you behaved well!"
Tuoba Feier was furious and pushed Lan Niang. Lan Niang stumbled back two steps and was hugged by Pei Rong.
"Tuoba Fei'er, my engagement with you doesn't count at all. I'm not your fiancé, and you're not my fiancée. As for the matter in Tongliang City, I haven't settled the score with you yet. You blame an innocent person.
On the head!" Pei Rong said angrily.
Tuoba Feier felt aggrieved and scared when she saw Pei Rong being so angry, "Brother Rong, I...I regret it so much!"
As he said that, he started crying.
Pei Rong was extremely irritable: "I'm warning you, don't do anything to Lan Niang again, otherwise I will send you back to Xiyue immediately!"
"Brother Rong, you are so cruel. You didn't ask me if I had endured hardships along the way. You don't care about me at all."
Tuoba Feier went to hug Pei Rong's arm, but Pei Rong was so frightened that he quickly stepped back, "Don't touch me!"
The two of them were chasing each other, and Liu Yunxiang looked really lively.
Lan Niang pulled her out of the yard and said: "This Tuoba Feier is the sister of the man who did business with the young master. The man admired the young master very much and insisted on marrying his sister to the young master, but the young master did not agree. But this Tuoba Feier
The girl identified her and secretly followed us out of Xiyue. We didn't find her until we arrived at Tongliang City. After that..."
"What trouble did she get into after that?" Liu Yunxiang asked curiously.
Tuoba Fei'er is so thick-skinned and courageous. If she hadn't gotten into some serious trouble, she wouldn't have been so frightened that she would have run away.
Lan Niang looked a little uncomfortable, but she trusted Liu Yunxiang, and only Liu Yunxiang could talk to her, so she told her what Tuoba Feier had done.
After Liu Yunxiang heard this, he really didn't know how to react.
What Tuoba Fei'er did was really... so unreasonable and stupid, and Pei Rong and Lan Niang... were really unexpected.
"Little Marquis Pei didn't let you carry heavy objects just now, didn't he?" She glanced at Lan Niang's belly.
Lan Niang smiled bitterly: "It's really not true, but the young master didn't believe it. He said that it wasn't the right time, and he said that he was 70 to 80% sure that I would have gotten pregnant that night. I couldn't even explain it to him, how could it be that easy?
It’s so accurate, and I’ll clean it up that night.”
Liu Yunxiang remembered how Pei Rong was deflated but concerned about Lan Niang just now, "I think it's good to be pregnant."
"Yunxiang! What are you talking about!"
"You asked Mr. Pei Xiaohou to marry you when you were pregnant. He is handsome and rich. The key is that he is kind-hearted and upright and does not bully women. But your ex-husband is a thousand times or ten thousand times better."
Lan Niang was funny, "Young master is certainly good, my ex-husband is incomparable to him, but how dare I climb so high? Moreover, I just want to work peacefully, pay off the money I owe you, and then save money to buy a new one."
I bought two acres of land in my yard and sold rice cakes in my spare time. Maybe I would never marry, adopt a child, and live a stable life. This is the best life I can think of. But after this happened, I thought
I pretend not to care, but the young master keeps reminding me, and I don’t know what to do.”
Liu Yunxiang understood Lan Niang's mood. She felt that there was a huge difference between her and Pei Rong, so she never had any extravagant thoughts. She could see clearly and transparently, but feelings can make arrogant people bow their heads, and can make transparent people
People make fools.
Therefore, she is optimistic about Pei Rong and Lan Niang.
"If you think about it carefully, you are the victim, so don't think too much. It's up to them to give you an explanation."
Lan Niang sighed, "I don't want any explanation, I just want to do this job well and earn this salary."
After Pei Rong settled Tuoba Fei'er, he and Liu Yunxiang made a detailed calculation in the study. The trip was worthwhile. Not only did they make money, but they also opened a trade route.
After Pei Rong showed Liu Yunxiang the account book, he said: "The only bad thing is that the relationship between Beijin and West Vietnam has always been tense. There are many checkpoints along the way. A lot of money has been spent to open up the relationship, and it is not safe.
Furthermore, it is a long way to transport your Yunjin brocade from Darong to Beijin, and the freight costs a lot of money. Do you think this is a good idea? We will transport the Yunjin brocade from Darong directly to West Vietnam without going through Beijin, and both sides will be saved.
What do you think of a large shipping fee?"
Liu Yunxiang looked at the account book and found that the freight was indeed very high. She transported the Yunjin brocade to Beijin and handed it to Pei Rong. The freight was even higher than the cost of buying the Yunjin brocade. The method proposed by Pei Rong was indeed better.
"It's just that the checkpoint in the west of Darong Town needs to be cleared. This can't be done with money, it requires connections."
Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, "Zhenxi is now guarded by Prince Suping's Mansion, and Prince Suping's Mansion has a rift with the imperial court. Although it has not separated from the imperial court like the three states in Zhenbei, it is no longer under the control of the imperial court."
"By the way, King Suping died of illness, did you know?"
Liu Yunxiang was surprised, "Lu Zhi is dead?"
Pei Rong nodded, "Prince Suping and his second brother fought for military power for more than three months. In the end, the second prince was killed by Prince Suping himself. He applied for a title from the court, attacked the prince, and became Zhenxi
king."
Liu Yunxiang thought of Lu Chang'an, who was as gentle as jade, a person as gentle as the moon, who was not stained by the worldly world, but who was deeply involved in the struggle for power and even killed people.
After a long time, she sighed, and then her thoughts changed: "I can get through the checkpoint in Zhenxi, but in this business with Xiyue, I can't just be the one supplying you with Yun brocade. I want to do it with you, and
The profits obtained are divided equally.”
