"Have all the people been arranged?"

"Miss, it's all arranged, and I'm already in contact with various shops to purchase medicinal herbs and silk."

"Well done, you ...... like this"

Qu Miaoling whispered a long series in her soft ear, and after listening softly, she was surprised: "Miss, this-'

"Just do as I say, so we have a better chance of winning."

Although she didn't agree with Qu Miaoling's approach, she did it in the end.

"Madam, a great good thing!" Tao Lei came back from the shop outside just now, and she was in a hurry along the way, and her face was red.

"What's the matter, frizzy!"

Wen was drinking tea, the weather was too hot, or herbal tea to cool off.

"Madam, we are going to make a fortune, and the merchants from other places want to order 5,000 taels of silk!"

"5,000 taels?"

For the current Wen family, although the business of 5,000 taels of silver is large, it is not unhandled.

"Taolei, is that what I taught you? It's only 5,000 taels—"

"Madam, these 5,000 taels are just a deposit!"

"What?"

Wen stood up all of a sudden, his eyebrows raised, his eyes widened, and fine lines were squeezed out of his forehead.

"Madam, the real deal, the deposit has arrived, you see-"

Tao Lei was taken out by the 5,000 taels of silver tickets hidden in her clothes, and she was afraid of losing it along the way, so she deliberately asked the shopkeeper to find a needle and thread and sew it on the cuffs.

Wen looked at the silver ticket, and his eyes were about to jump out.

After a long time, Wen came to his senses, "Such a large amount of money, they simply gave it?" ”

"Madam, don't believe it, I saw that guest, it is indeed wealthy, you don't know, the hairpin that person tied his hair is made of jade mined from the south, it is very clear, the slave looks, it should be purebred imperial green!"

"Heh-" This time, even Wen couldn't help but gasp.

The ore mining operation of the Daling Dynasty was difficult, and the jade mining was even more so.

Most of the jade in their inner court was transported from the south, and a small piece was worth a thousand gold, not to mention the king of jade.

"Do you see clearly?"

"How could the slave and maid not see clearly, at that time in the palace, the emperor was wearing a jade pendant, and the slave didn't dare to offend Long Yan, but the appearance of the jade pendant The slave and maid saw it really, and it wouldn't be wrong!"

Wen's heart moved, "How many goods do they want?" ”

"Madam, 50,000 taels of silk!"

50,000 taels?

Wen fell into his chair, his eyes glazed.

"Hurry up and talk about this business, but don't let him run away."

"But madam, aren't we going to hand over the shop to the eldest lady soon, won't the money we earn still run into the eldest lady's pocket?"

Wen flicked his sleeves, "This is my free method, you only need to be responsible for holding that merchant for me, don't let him run to other houses!" Do you understand! ”

"The slave understands, but—"

"What else but!"

"With such a large amount of business, even if we hand over all the silk in our shop, it is still far away!" This is what Taolei is most worried about.

The price is very suitable, but you have to have it in stock!

Wen stood up and turned around twice, she said: "This is simple, there is not enough silk in our shop, isn't there enough silk in the whole capital?" ”

"Ma'am, do you mean - acquisition?"

"Leave this matter to Taoxin, let her keep an eye on it herself, buy silk quickly, remember not to use the banner of the Hou Mansion, find a face, understand?"

"The slave understands."

Taolei and Taoxin went to run errands separately, and the smile on Wen's face could no longer be controlled.

This is a big order of 50,000 taels, and if it happens, she can earn at least 10,000 taels.

Soon, all the silk and silk that Wen had raised out of his own pocket were piled up on the docks, and several large warehouses were full.

Looking at these various colors of silk, Wen smiled proudly.

"Peach bud, peach heart, tomorrow is the day of the transaction, you must show me these things!"

"Madame, don't worry, the slaves and maids are looking for the most famous dart bureau in the capital, and there will be no problem."

Wen replied reassuringly, but in the middle of the night Wen heard the sound of crying in his yard.

She struggled to get out of bed, she fell asleep in the middle of the night because she was so excited, and now she couldn't break her eyelids.

"Madam, something is wrong, our goods at the dock have been burned!"

Peach Lei cried and knelt down.

There was a "boom" sound, and Wen's body shook.

She said in a hoarse voice, 'You-what did you say'

"Madam, all our silk has been burned!"

The next moment, Wen fell to the ground, and the lamp that had been dimmed in He'an Garden was lit again.

Wen was lying on the bed, Tao Lei and Tao Xin had no backbone, and their eyes were swollen from crying.

The choked voice echoed in the bedroom, and Wen woke up and shouted loudly: "What are you crying about, I'm not dead yet!" ”

"Madam, you have finally woken up, and the slave maid will go and call the doctor immediately." Taolei said and got up.

"Get out of here!"

Although Wen was furious, there was still weakness in his voice.

"So much silk, all ruined?"

Wen's voice trembled.

Tao Lei nodded with difficulty, and the next second, Wen picked up the pillow and threw it out.

"Bastard, asshole!"

Wen fainted again.

But no one in the house rushed to ask for a doctor, if there was a big noise, the Hou Ye would know, and when the time came, it would be really over.

The silver that Wen bought silk and satin was still taken from the account of the Hou Mansion.

Thinking of this, Peach Heart and Peach Bud are sweating in the same head.

What to do?

They panicked and didn't know why.

It was dawn, Wen Shi woke up slowly, she sighed, Xu is heart was pressing, her head hurt when she woke up, the position of her temples seemed to be hit by a hammer, she got out of bed with her head in one hand.

Tao Bud came in with the hot soup, and before she could get close to Wen's, the soup bowl was knocked over by Wen's.

Taolei hurriedly knelt down and admitted her mistake, "Madam, it's all the slave's fault, you punish the slave!" "Tao Lei is Wen's most trusted subordinate, and she is also her right-hand man.

She knew that Tao Lei was loyal to her.

But last night's incident was so weird, who did it?

"Do you find a dart board to guard from time to time? How can it suddenly go out of the water? ”

"The slave also felt strange, the dart head of the dart board said, last night you sent someone to tell them, said that you want to treat them, and bring them wine, the dart head is unwilling to drink, the man is still angry, he has to pull the dart head to drink, but only one sip, the dart head is unconscious, he opened his eyes, all the things in the warehouse are burned, and his subordinates also fainted to the ground."

"Taolei, have you been to the scene?"

"The slave went to see it, and the fire was so great that all the useful evidence was burned out."

Speaking of this, Taolei looked frustrated, "The slave should have stayed there last night!" ”

But what's the use of talking about it now?

"Today at noon is the day of delivery, if we can't get something, we will lose money, twice, that is, 10,000 taels."

As soon as he thought of this, Wen's eyes were full of flowers, and he almost fainted again.

"Ma'am, can't we find another way to get some silk? Transfers from other cities. ”

"It's too late! We don't have that much silver to buy silk again. ”

Wen's still young face instantly aged by 10 years.

When Tao Lei heard Wen say this, she felt even more frustrated.

She blamed herself.

"For today's plan, there is only compensation, but fortunately, the merchant is still kind, and only let us pay twice the deposit."

"Madam, where can we get this ten thousand taels?"

Wen sat in his chair, his mind spinning.

Yes, this is 10,000 taels, even if her brother is now the prime minister, she can't take it out.

The account office of the Hou Mansion is also empty now, and all the money is pressed on this list.

Wen gritted her teeth, now she had only one way.

"Taolei, change my wife's clothes."

Tao Lei hurriedly came over to dress Wen's, and under Wen's guidance, she also painted her a pale and haggard makeup, and her clothes and hair accessories were plain.

"Madame, where are we going?" Walking out of He'an Garden, Taolei asked.

"Go to Wanzhenin."

Here, Qu Miaoling had just woken up, and she was very anxious, and after receiving the news from Guard Liu, she was impatient to stay in front of Qu Miaoling's room.

Hearing the movement of the "squirming" in the house, she was happy on her face, she hurriedly pushed the door in, and took advantage of the time to wash and change Qu Miaoling's clothes, and said happily: "Miss, it's done!" ”

It was obvious that he didn't match the words before and after, but Qu Miaoling understood, and a smile appeared on his face.

It's just very reserved, reserved to the point that the corners of the mouth only set off a small arc.

"Miss, aren't you happy?"

"Happy!"

"Then why don't you laugh!"

"It's not time to laugh yet."

Soft:?

Not long after, the third-class maid outside came to report, saying that Wen was here.

looked at Qu Miaoling gently, "Miss, what is she doing here, shouldn't she be in a hurry to raise money everywhere now?" ”

Qu Miaoling smiled incomprehensibly, "Let's go, let's go and meet my good mother and bring breakfast, I came so early, I'm afraid my stomach is empty." ”

Gently answered, and went out. The third-class maid invited Wen to the hall, and what caught her eye was a full breakfast, seafood porridge, barley porridge, crystal shrimp dumplings, refreshing side dishes and all kinds of pastries.

But Wen didn't have any appetite.

She waited anxiously, her eyes looking at the door from time to time, almost desperately.

"Madam, our young lady is changing her clothes, and she will be there soon."

Wen nodded, but half an hour had passed, and he still didn't even look at Qu Miaoling's shadow.

Wen forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, now she can only endure it, and wait for the future-

Thinking like this, Wen Shiquan forced herself to sit down, and she waited.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Qu Miaoling was late.

"Mother kept me waiting."

"No, no, it was my mother's sudden visit, and it was abrupt."

"Mother came so early, didn't use breakfast, use some for her daughter?" Qu Miaoling warmly invited, smiling.

Today is the third day, and it is time for Qu Miaoling to give an answer, and now, it is obvious that Wen's is much more anxious than Qu Miaoling.

Qu Miaoling took a small bite of the rice, and Wen couldn't wait to help her stuff the spoon into her mouth.

Finally, Qu Miaoling finished eating, she pursed her mouth and smiled faintly, "If there is something wrong with my mother, I can say it." ”
