Chapter 583: Negotiation
Qin Niang raised her eyebrows and looked at Bu Shuyuan.
"Mrs. Gu, can you talk about it in front of the teahouse?" Bu Shuyuan was the first to speak.
Qin Niang knew that if she didn't agree today, this cloth girl would still come to the house tomorrow, after all, she was living in the Gu family now, and it was not easy to turn people away.
So, Qin Niang nodded and motioned for her to get into the carriage.
The carriage drove to a stop in front of a teahouse at the entrance of the street, Qin Niang asked the coachman to park the carriage at the side so as not to interfere with other people's business, and the coachman answered and parked the carriage at the opposite corner.
The group entered the teahouse, Xiao Er warmly welcomed a few people to the small attic, Bu Shuyuan obviously had serious things to talk to Qin Niang, so she directly asked for a private room.
After Xiao Er finished the tea and withdrew, only Qin Niang's master and servant and Bu Shuyuan were left in the private room.
Bu Shuyuan diligently added a cup of tea to Qin Niang, Qin Niang raised her eyebrows, she never liked to waste time, so she asked directly: "Miss Bu has anything to say, I will have something to do when I return to the house in a while." ”
Bu Shuyuan saw that the other party was so refreshing, and immediately stopped going around the bend with her, she knew from the first time they met that her second cousin-in-law was not a person who liked to beat around the bush.
"Second cousin-in-law, let's make a deal." Bu Shuyuan looked at Qin Niang's eyes and said directly.
Qin Niang took a sip of the cup of tea she had just poured for her, and said lightly, "What deal do you want to do with me?" ”
Moreover, she doesn't feel that the other party has the capital to do business with her.
Qiu Tao on the side almost rolled her eyes to the sky, she really didn't know where this cloth girl got the courage to negotiate with her young lady.
"I don't ask for much, I just want to find a serious family to marry, you have also seen, I am already seventeen, if it is two years later, I will really become an old girl, let alone a serious person at that time, I am afraid that even those who continue to be will not look down on me." Bu Shuyuan looked at her and said word by word, "I know about the matter between me and Lu Shao, and you will definitely interfere." ”
Qin Niang raised her eyebrows, she understood very well.
"I know that what you said in front of Old Man Lu has a lot of weight, so I don't dare to expect you to help me facilitate this marriage, I just beg you not to interfere." Bu Shuyuan pinched the cup, slowly rubbed the wall of the cup, and looked at her fixedly.
"Oh? What does Miss Bu want to talk to me about? Qin Niang looked at her with interest and asked.
Although she had already told Old Man Lu that she could make a marriage and make a show first, she deliberately entered Lu's house through the side door just now, probably guessing that she was going to make a trip for her, so she came to talk to her in a hurry.
"I know that my second cousin is going to Pingnanjing, but I am afraid that no one knows better than me about the loss of three cities in the south, if the second cousin does not interfere in this marriage, I will tell the second cousin all the key." Bu Shuyuan hooked her lips, and a strange brilliance appeared in her eyes, she believed that Qin Niang must be very interested in such news.
After all, Gu Chen was in the south at the moment, if he couldn't understand the inside story, then it would be very disadvantageous to the war.
Qin Niang didn't speak, just stared at her.
Bu Shuyuan couldn't see her thoughts from her expression, and when she saw that she didn't speak, she thought she didn't believe it, so she added something: "If there is no internal response, do you think that just one Miao Jiang, they can break through our three cities in a row?" Even if they had the means, those means were not suitable for the confrontation between the two armies. ”
Everyone knows that the Miao people are good at poison and know how to take a cup, but these are all things that need to be close to have a chance, if they stick to the city in the east, they can have the national strength of a small country in Miao Jiang, where can they break the three cities so smoothly?
Before, because of the urgency of the war, I didn't have time to think about it, but now that she mentioned it like this, it seems that this is indeed the case.
"The second cousin is so smart, I must have guessed what I was going to say, now that the second cousin has gone to the south, his first task is to recapture the lost city, and the second is to destroy the small country of Miaojiang, but if it is not removed, it will create a lot of trouble for his strategy, and it is even very likely that the whole army will be destroyed."
When Bu Shuyuan said this, she stopped, her meaning was obvious, she knew who the inner should be hidden in the east, maybe a person, maybe a group of people, in short, it was impossible to easily capture the three cities, if there was no internal response, it would be impossible to do it.
She didn't believe it, Qin Niang didn't worry about the safety of her husband who was fighting on the front line, and for the sake of this information, she felt that the other party should be able to compromise.
For a while, it was very quiet in the private room, and no one spoke again.
Qin Niang took a sip of the teacup, raised her eyes to look at Bu Shuyuan, and said with a smile: "Why does Miss Bu think that I will make a deal with you that you urgently need to reach for this kind of thing that requires a lot of trouble to verify?" ”
The south is far away from the mountains here, she casually said a few names, and when she sent someone over there to verify, the daylilies in the capital were cold.
This Bu Shuyuan has calculated a good account, is she stupid?
Gu Chen looks at the account books in front of her every day, and he can still take advantage of her?
Bu Shuyuan choked for a moment, and then said: "Second cousin-in-law, I didn't ask you to help me in exchanging such valuable news, as long as you don't hinder me, anyway, I'm in the capital, and I live in the Gu family, you have time to send someone to send a message to the second cousin, let him go to verify, this transaction is obviously very cost-effective." ”
"What you said, Gu Chen will naturally notice it after he arrives in the south, do you think that he will only react after I have sent him a message from my side, do you think he can still win this battle?" Qin Niang said lightly, "If you don't have any other useful news, I won't sit here with you longer." ”
With that, she put down her teacup and got up to leave.
At the beginning, she was really moved by what Bu Shuyuan said, but in just a short moment, she figured it out.
Although Gu Chen is a businessman, he is also a child cultivated by a family, he has read Wen Taowu since he was a child, and he dares to lead the troops to go on the expedition, and he has not read less military books since he was a child, even if he just received the holy decree, he didn't have time to think about it, but along the way, it was enough for people to figure it out.
With Gu Chen's ability, as long as he was suspicious, he would definitely find out, otherwise, he would not easily send troops to fight.
Therefore, what Bu Shuyuan said is almost a matter that far water can't save near water, and it's worthless.
"However, even if the second cousin is capable, how much can he find? Miao Jiang and the Xishu Alliance attacked Donglin, and they had carefully planted a lot of eyeliner and internal response in Donglin before that, what if I could write a copy of the roster of internal response? Bu Shuyuan saw that she was leaving, so she also stood up and said anxiously.
Qin Niang paused, turned her head to look at her, hooked her lips and said: "Okay, if you can write out the list, I won't interfere, it's just that this list is 800 miles and it takes three to four days to rush to the south, and it will take some time to verify the authenticity of that list, can you afford to wait?" ”
Qin Niang didn't mean to embarrass her, she just said a fact.
Since it is such a confidential matter, naturally it cannot be passed on by flying pigeons, and it has to be expedited by eight hundred miles, and it is thousands of miles away from the southern border.
This back and forth, of course, will take some time.
At that time, presumably the batch of firearms in the iron shop was about to come out, and when the time came, His Majesty directly sent Lu Zhiyang to deliver firearms by a holy decree, and there would be nothing to do with her Bu Shuyuan.
Qin Niang thought of this, and Bu Shuyuan also thought of it, and her face suddenly sank.
originally thought it was a very cost-effective deal for the other party, but she didn't expect the other party to be so difficult to deal with, and she refused to suffer at all.
She suddenly became a little jealous of the woman in front of her, whether it was because of her good family background, she could marry a good son like Gu Chen, but she had to be so difficult in order to get a better future.
However, in order to accomplish her father's great cause, she must not back down at this time.
"Second cousin-in-law, if you don't want to stop me from meeting with Lu Zhiyang, as for the list, you can let it go, if there is a half-word fraud, it will not be too late for you to stop me from marrying into the Lu family at that time." Bu Shuyuan smiled confidently, and she felt very confident in what she was going to trade.
Having said that, even if Qin Niang wanted to pretend to embarrass her, it would be almost the same now, so she nodded a little embarrassed and said: "Okay, you can go back and write the list now, while it's still early, I can immediately send someone to send eight hundred miles to the southern border urgently." ”
Bu Shuyuan was overjoyed when she heard this, and then said in a loud voice: "I'll go back and write, I can send it to Gu's house in an hour, and the second cousin-in-law has to talk and count, and can't interfere in the affairs between me and Lu Zhiyang." ”
Qin Niang nodded, anyway, the Lu family will discuss the handling of this marriage in the next two days, and she doesn't plan to stop anything, everything depends on what tricks Bu Shuyuan can come up with.
After getting into the carriage, Qiu Tao secretly picked up the corner of the car window and looked at the teahouse, and saw Bu Shuyuan walking out as if she had picked up silver, and went straight to the direction of the Gu family's old house.
"Miss, I'm afraid this cloth girl is not stupid, right? How could she, an ordinary girl, know about such a thing as a detailed list? When she said this, wasn't she afraid that she would be suspected of being a spy sent by Miao Jiang? Qiu Tao pursed her mouth and said in a low voice.
"The reason why she said it so justifiably is to show that she is above board and upright." Qin Niang said in her heart, as for whether she has a ghost in her heart, then only she knows.
"Miss, you said, there are so many excellent men in Beijing, why does she want to entangle the young master of the Lu family?" Qiu Tao really can't figure it out.
In terms of background and family power, the Lu family is really insignificant in the capital.
"It is precisely because the Lu family is insignificant that she can only choose the Lu family." Qin Niang said lightly.
Qiu Tao didn't understand.
