Ah Xin thought something was wrong and hurriedly turned back.
Su Yixiang was pacing in the room. Isn't the cabinet shop a trustworthy third party?
Let me think about how to do it in detail.
Su Yixiang sat down and thought for a long time, finally a smile appeared on his face and said: "A Xin, go and invite my elder brother over."
Lu Guangkui came in, Su Yixiang stood up and asked him to sit down, saying: "I thought of a good way. Neither of us will suffer. As long as both parties cooperate sincerely, this business will definitely succeed!"
"Oh, what's a good idea?" Lu Guangkui returned to the room and was thinking hard, but after thinking about it, either he was taking the risk, or Su Yixiang was taking the risk, and there was no suitable way.
Su Yixiang said: "I will first give you 200 taels of silver for the cost of transporting the grain. I will also deposit another 10,000 taels of silver in Hengchang Cabinet. We will do as you said, and you will sell it to me at the price of each grain purchase plus 50 taels.
, I receive the goods at the dock near Yunzhou. If the goods arrive and they pass my inspection, I have accepted the goods. I will send you a letter with the passwords of Hengchang Cabinet Shop and me. Take this letter with you.
Go to Hengchang Cabinet Shop to pick up the money. If I don't accept the goods and return them the same way, you won't lose anything. You can also sell the grain to others."
After hearing this, Lu Guangkui thought for a long time.
This method seems to work. If he collects my grain, then I will make a profit; if he does not collect it, I will not lose anything.
"Okay, let's do this then." Lu Guangkui slapped the table and agreed to Su Yixiang's suggestion.
Su Yixiang said: "Ten thousand shi of grain is just a rough estimate. The exact amount will depend on the situation in Yunzhou. We can keep in touch at any time. I will send you a letter every week to report to you the market situation in Yunzhou.
"
Lu Guangkui nodded and said: "Brother, I can rely on you to see if I can have a good year this year."
Su Yixiang laughed and said: "Just wait, I will go to Hengchang Cabinet to save money."
After signing the contract with Lu Guangkui, Su Yixiang was very happy. He stayed in Runzhou for another day, specially selected a cart of Runzhou specialties, and then embarked on the journey back to Yunzhou unhurriedly.
As for Zhao Ling'er and Su Yining, because of the wonderful experience in the morning, Su Yining was not that interested in the polo match in the afternoon. He now felt that it was very comfortable to spend the whole day lying at home with Zhao Ling'er. It was strange that he used to like
Why did the young man who always pursues excitement change his appearance?
Seeing that it was getting dark, Su Yining was going to Governor Wang's home again.
If you go there, you won’t want to come back, and if you come back, you won’t want to go again!
Su Yi Ning reluctantly packed his things, but he knew that he had to study, so he had to pack his things while he was busy.
Zhao Ling'er was accompanying him. Although she didn't want Su Yi Ning to leave her side, for the sake of his future and his ambition, she could only be cruel and pretend to be happy to send him away.
Seeing the door of the governor's house, Su Yining and Zhao Linger got off the carriage. Su Yining took Zhao Linger's hand and put it into his arms, asking her if she was cold.
Zhao Ling'er shook her head, stretched out her hand and said, "Go in quickly, it's cold outside."
Su Yining smiled at Zhao Linger and said, "Then I'm going in."
Zhao Ling'er watched him walk through the door with a smile, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Su Yi Ning!"
Su Yining turned around and looked at Zhao Linger.
Zhao Ling'er asked: "When is your birthday?"
Su Yi Ning was stunned for a moment and said, "What happened on July 8th?"
Zhao Ling'er waved her hand and said, "It's okay, you can go in."
Su Yi Ning smiled at her and went in.
Zhao Ling'er got on the carriage and thought about what gift to give him for his birthday.
In the blink of an eye, it’s March 19th.
Zhao Ling'er got up very early as usual that day.
Because the second round of the beauty pageant will be held today, she needs to prepare for many things in advance.
After she finished washing, she walked to the entrance of the garden, where there were already spectators waiting outside.
"Young mistress, do you want to open the door?" Ah Zhen asked.
Zhao Ling'er shook her head and suddenly thought that if these girls still entered through this door, there would be nothing new. She had to quickly arrange for someone to welcome them in at the front door of Su Mansion.
So he quickly asked Ah Zhen to find someone to make arrangements.
After a while, Wang Ruoxi also came, and Wang Ruoxi's cousin Xue Xinran.
After three days of busy work, today is the time to check the results.
The advertisement was posted a week before. People in Yunzhou usually don't have much fun. Moreover, it was the first time that a beauty pageant was held in Yunzhou in so many years, so many people came to queue up before dawn.
Looking at the crowded crowd outside, Zhao Ling'er was a little worried. If there were as many people as there were at the last clothing auction, then the Su Mansion would not be able to accommodate so many people!
Zhao Ling'er looked at the garden and didn't know how to make a decision. She still wanted to ask Master Su for instructions.
Master Su just got up and is exercising.
After hearing Zhao Ling'er's concerns, Master Su said: "Our garden can accommodate 3,000 people at most, that's too much..." He remembered the crowding and stampede incident last time, shook his head and said: "Not 3,000 people, 2,500 people at most.
2,000 people is better. Send someone to check the number of people at the door. After 2,000 people come in, don’t let them in again.”
Two thousand people, each receiving 20 coins, a total of 40 taels of silver.
Is the ticket price a bit low?
But it's too late to raise prices now.
Fortunately, this round of advertising sponsorship fees only collected 3,000 taels, otherwise the 40 taels for Xue Xinran would not be enough!
Well, it seems that’s all it can do.
At nine o'clock in the morning, all the girls participating in the competition came one by one.
Zhao Ling'er invited five actors to put on makeup for them, and then put on the clothes that Pei Hua ordered to send over yesterday afternoon. Well, basically all of them looked like beauties.
At about 9:40, Master Su came over with a group of judges.
Zhao Ling'er asked the girls to get ready backstage. If you want to go to the toilet, go to the toilet now. When you are ready, you will line up in groups of 10.
On the stage, Zhao Ling'er invited the dancers from Quchifang to perform music and dance to appease the audience who came in first.
Most of the visitors were men, of course there were also women, but there were more middle-aged women and above.
Everyone is eagerly looking forward to the girls participating in the competition. From time to time, they crane their necks and look around, expecting to catch a glimpse of the beauties in some corner.
It's a pity that Zhao Ling'er strictly ordered the girls not to move around, let alone go to the front to meet the audience, otherwise they will be directly disqualified.
This competition is divided into three rounds.
The first round was about walking posture.
All the girls put on their veils and lined up to walk on the stage one by one.
The judges will select the 20 girls with the least elegant walking postures. The remaining 50 girls will go directly to the next round. These 20 girls will show their walking postures one by one, 15 will be eliminated, and 5 will remain.
The second round was about etiquette.
The girls who won the first round were in groups of five and performed the four scenes of introducing themselves, greeting guests, and taking seats. The top 30 outstanding performers were directly promoted, and the 15 poor performers were divided into groups of three.
Everyone demonstrated the etiquette of serving tea, and the five outstanding performers continued to participate in the third round of the competition.
The third round was about dance.
The 35 winning girls will perform a dance for everyone in groups of 7. Each group will eliminate 2 contestants, and a total of 10 contestants will be eliminated.
At the end of this competition, a total of 25 women have won and can participate in the third competition.
