Chapter 170: Trading
"What do you want?" Mo Zhangshi was more anxious, that is, he chased and asked, and his voice was a little higher, "That Ding Tongda's attitude, didn't An Shixiang understand it just now!" â
An Lan didn't care about his accusatory tone, and took another drawing from the horseshoe matter of the Tulip Courtyard, and read it carefully before asking, "In previous years, were there many such things?" â
"Quite a few, and every year." Speaking of this horseshoe matter, he is also quite helpless, although he now occupies the place of Fuxiangyuan, but he also has to do it, he has no enmity with Mo Zhangshi, if he can deal with it peacefully, he will naturally not choose to form a grudge. However, everyone rushed to occupy the treasure of feng shui, and in the end, the middle and lower courtyards could only be squeezed into inconspicuous places, and some even had to share the same land with the two courtyards. This kind of injustice has been around for a long time, and many people have grievances in their hearts but at the same time are accustomed to it.
An Lan raised her eyes, glanced at the place again, and said after a while, "What is the price of the first-class position?" â
Shopkeeper Mo and Shopkeeper Ma were both stunned, and couldn't help but glance at each other, and then looked at An Lan a few times. They still didn't understand anything as little girls, but they didn't think about it, and after only a few words, they actually saw what was going on behind it. That's right, the annual incense fair, on the surface, after the location of the incense market is divided among the halls, the heads of each courtyard will catch lots, and which one is caught. But in fact, all good positions are secretly marked by the person in charge, and those who are willing to pay can catch that number, and those who are unwilling to send silver depend on luck, even if his number is indispensable, but whether the stall can be placed along the lĂŹ is not easy to say. Entering the Fuxiang Courtyard and the Tulip Courtyard, this is the case now, it's not that they didn't give out money. It's really not as strong as the Upper House's big hands and connections.
But. In the end, this is a fight for strength and financial resources. There is no injustice in this way, it is just the survival of the fittest.
The two of them plan to use An Lan's instigation to be instigated, even if they can't earn anything, they can let them see the excitement, which can be regarded as an outlet of evil anger. But who thought, this little girl was not as innocent as they thought, Mo Zhangshi sighed in his heart. put away all his thoughts and gestured: "There is no accurate head, it is different every year, but the minimum must be this number." â
An Lan was taken aback, she was born in the incense courtyard, and she could understand the gesture of Mo Zhangshi, she made a rough calculation, and her heart was speechless, a big incense meeting came down, and the light position was allocated. The related incense masters, palace attendants and incense attendants don't know how much they have earned. No wonder Chi Peony didn't bother with such a thing. Those who paid the money naturally wanted to get more privileges, so Na Ding would be so justifiable.
It's just such a real thing, but they can still give face to the county lord of Danyang, which shows that the Cui family's capital under His Royal Highness Yuheng is really enough. Thinking of this, An Lan broke off her mind of negotiating with Yuheng Palace, and then thought about the calm and relaxed appearance of the Danyang County Lord in the Swallow Tower, as well as Mr. Guanghan's gentle voice, she couldn't help frowning.
"An Shixiang?" Seeing that An Lan asked so much, but still didn't say anything, Mo Zhangshi couldn't bear it, and asked again, "How should this matter be resolved?" Fuxiangyuan can't just be delayed. â
An Lan came back to her senses and said, "I know, within today, I will make you happy." â
"Within today?" Mo Zhangshi was stunned, and Ma Zhangshi couldn't believe it, so he asked: "An Shixiang, what is the best plan?" â
"Bring me the incense list from your two courtyards." An Lan didn't explain, just ordered.
The two looked at each other puzzled, hesitated for a moment, and then ordered the people around them to get it.
After a while, An Lan took the incense list handed over by the two, read it carefully, and then took a pen and circled a few incense names on each list, and then said: "Don't sell these incense products first." â
The two looked at the incense products that were circled, and they were even more puzzled: "Why is this?" â
The incense of the Changxiang Hall is of the highest quality, so even between the incense halls, there is a buying and selling relationship. Mo Zhangshi and Ma Zhangshi thought that An Lan circled out the incense products that Ding Tongda had purchased from them in previous years, but when they looked at it, they found that the incense products that Ding Tongda needed were not in the incense products circled by An Lan.
"Do as I say, if someone from the Yuheng Hall asks you why, they will say that I mean." As An Lan spoke, she put down her pen, looked at both sides, and then put her hands in her sleeves and walked in the direction of the Tianji Palace.
The two looked at An Lan's back, becoming more and more confused.
It didn't take much effort for An Lan to find the location of Yuanxiang Courtyard, Lu Yunxian had already seen her, and without waiting for her to walk in, he greeted her, looked at her and said, "It's been a few days, I know that I will see you most of today, I will come out early in the morning." â
An Lan bowed slightly, then looked at the location of Yuanxiangyuan, and nodded slightly: "Excellent." â
Lu Yunxian smiled: "Thanks to you, it's not bad." â
This is kind words, An Lan knows in her heart that she has not brought any actual benefits to Lu Yunxian in her current position, but Lu Yunxian does not seem to care, showing extremely rare patience, and treating her as kind as ever.
After An Lan was polite, he said directly: "I came here at this time, I actually wanted to ask Lu Zhangshi for a favor." â
Lu Yunxian was refreshed: "You say." â
As she had just done, An Lan asked Lu Yunxian to take out the list of incense products from Yuanxiang Courtyard, circled several incense products, and asked her not to sell them today. Lu Yunxian asked why, and An Lan put down the pen: "I won't talk about it now, but you will know in a while." â
Lu Yunxian looked at her twice, and said with a smile: "You always surprise people, okay, just look for what you said, I won't do these kinds of incense trading today." â
"Thank you!" After An Lan thanked him, he left Yuanxiang Courtyard, found the Kaiyang Palace, and found Xie Lanhe.
After An Lan explained his intentions, Xie Lanhe was also puzzled, but he didn't ask much, just said: "These kinds of incense products, it's okay to stop selling them today, if it's ......."
An Lan said: "Today alone is enough, but don't explain to others, only stop selling today." If the people of the incense hall ask why, you can say that it means me. â
Xie Lanhe nodded: "Yes." â
An Lan was very grateful and saluted: "Thank you!" â
Xie Lanhe glanced at her and said, "Is there anything else you need my help with?" â
An Lan shook her head and said with a smile: "This one is enough." â
Xie Lanhe looked at her and stopped talking, but after all, he didn't say anything, just nodded.
After he came over today, he also heard that the county lord of Danyang had done a lot of things that won people's hearts and fame a few days ago, so with such a strong opponent, he couldn't help but be a little worried that An Lan would not be able to bear it.
âŚâŚ
When An Lan returned to the Tianshu Palace, she saw that the necks of Mo Zhangshi and Ma Zhangshi were stretched, and after seeing her coming, she hurriedly asked what was going on.
"Wait a minute." An Lan didn't rush to answer, only said this, and then stood aside with her hands on her hands, looking at the lively and prosperous scene in front of her with some blankness, but what she was thinking about was another picture.
The county lord of Danyang has not come over yet, what did Mr. Guanghan say to the county lord? Those guests of the Swallow Tower, is there anything important?
Is she so much worse than the county lord?
But the husband gave her "Yi Ke Xiang", which clearly means that he values her, but why is he suddenly cold to her?
âŚâŚ
About an hour later, when Mo Zhang's affairs were almost uncontrollable, he suddenly saw the palace attendant of Yuheng Hall looking for him, so he directly found An Lan's side: "Miss An Lan, the head of the Che Hall is invited." â
The head of the palace of Yuheng Hall is surnamed Che.
An Lan came back to her senses, turned her head to look at the palace attendant, nodded and motioned for him to lead the way.
When he came to the Yuheng Hall again, after being invited to a small tea room to sit down, he saw a middle-aged man with a beautiful beard come in from outside, and asked straight to the point: "Why does Miss An Lan want to target you?" â
An Lan stood up and said, "Why did the hall chief say this? â
"Why should An Shixiang pretend to be confused, not only to let people sell incense to Yuheng Palace, but also to let people clearly tell the meaning of An Shixiang." When Che Hongyun said this, he looked at An Lan inquiringly, "It's just that Che is more curious, why did An Shixiang know that Yuheng Hall wanted to buy these incense?" â
There are a lot of incense from other incense courtyards in Yuheng Palace, but the ones circled by An Lan are indeed necessary for Yuheng Palace, and they will never be replaced elsewhere.
"Since the hall attendant is so straightforward, then I won't beat around the bush." After An Lan stood up, he put his hand in his sleeve and covered it, Shi Shiran said, "The hall chief wants incense, I want the location of the incense market." (To be continued......)
