Chapter 178: Living in the Doorway
But even if they knew, it was their Qingjin Kingdom's business, and it was not their turn to intervene in the Liuli Kingdom, even if it was help, it shouldn't be their Ji family, how could it be that the two countries sent a friendly envoy to talk again.
They don't have anything to do with it now, but to put it simply, it's just a buy and a sell. Su Manxue now only needs to negotiate a reasonable price as a businessman.
"Lapis lazuli is already expensive, not to mention that it also requires a lot of manpower and material resources to mine, I am willing to provide the most refined lapis lazuli, but the price is slightly more expensive, I don't know what Mrs. Ji thinks."
The emperor has been messing around for so many years, and he is not in vain, and now looking at the meaning of this Ji Jiuhua, it seems that he has indeed handed over all this matter to Su Manxue to do with confidence.
From this incident, it can be seen that Su Manxue's current family status, and he doesn't know who to favor between Xiang Si and Su Manxue.
Fortunately, the emperor also decided to pretend not to know about this matter, as for what Xiang Si thinks, it is no longer within the scope of his consideration, he can't do business while swaying other people's feelings.
"I understand what the emperor means by these things, but I have very little knowledge of lapis lazuli, and I can't judge what kind of high-quality lapis lazuli is, the emperor said this, I can only listen to it, but if the emperor allows me to find two experts to identify it, I can also consider your statement, as for the price, I hope to ......"
Su Manxue didn't continue, but paused, as if there was an appetite for the emperor, and the emperor himself was a little anxious.
At this moment, when Su Manxue said this, he still calmed down, and did not say much in a very unconventional manner, but calmly looked at Su Manxue waiting for his next words.
"Since Jiuhua has done business with you, the market is not very good this year, and I won't press too much price, and last time you were generally giving me half of the profit, I don't think this request is too much."
Su Manxue originally wanted the emperor to let Yicheng make a profit, but although the current price is said to be because there are too many stocks, so it can't be sold, but if the emperor of the pro-Jin country is willing to wait a little longer to sell it to Fengxue Country and other countries, there is still a chance to sell it at a high price.
What's more, the price of lapis lazuli was originally high, and Su Manxue knew that it was impossible for her to push the price too hard, so that the emperor of the Qingjin Kingdom would have some opinions in his heart.
It's just that the emperor hasn't shown it now, not to mention that Su Manxue feels that since Ji Jiuhua said that she is his wife, the whole atmosphere has become a little embarrassing.
Although the emperor did not say or show it on the surface, Su Manxue felt that the emperor should know about Xiang Si's love for Ji Jiuhua, and now the emperor knows that Ji Jiuhua is married.
The emperor was ready for Su Manxue to open his mouth, but he didn't expect Su Manxue to still be merciful, but this half of the profit can be let if you want to, and it's actually okay to say no.
The emperor of the Qingjin Kingdom naturally knew that there were other ways to sell at a higher price, but seeing that it was winter, it was too late to send someone out to negotiate at this time.
He originally thought that after a good harvest this autumn, the tax revenue would come up, and the country would not be too difficult.
But he didn't expect that this year's harvest was about to be completed, and suddenly there was a flood, which destroyed some of the crops, and the emperor of Qingjin was well versed in the truth that harsh government was fiercer than a tiger, so he didn't oppress the peasants below too much, so he had to reduce taxes.
This made it even more difficult for the palace to make income and expenditure, and the queen originally had quite an opinion about him, but because the harem could not interfere in politics, the queen dared not speak out, and secretly shrunk into the palace's food and clothing, thinking of saving more or less by cutting down on food and clothing.
"If the emperor is embarrassed, I will leave with Jiuhua first, and the emperor will think about it again in the past two days, I have other things to do with the flowers, as for Xiangjia, where is it, please also ask the emperor to send someone to show us the way and recognize where the door is."
Su Manxue wanted to see what tricks Xiang Si was going to play, and she also knew that if Xiang Si didn't succeed in this move, she would make more tricks to get Ji Jiuhua in her hands, so it was better to quickly put Xiang Si under her nose and stare at it, even if she wanted to do something to this sentence, she knew everything.
"This is natural, since Mrs. Ji is willing to give me a little time to figure it out, then I naturally have to think about it. After all, lapis lazuli is a specialty of our Lapis Lazuli Country, and I said that this is a special grade, which is not the same as the batch provided before.
It is not easy to maintain the price that Mr. Ji talked about last time, and Mrs. Ji's price is ...... I also hope that Mrs. Ji will think about it again. When I take out the two kinds of stones, Mrs. Ji will naturally be able to see the difference.
At that time, Mrs. Ji looked at the results and discussed them carefully. It's getting late today, so I won't leave the two of you to have dinner at the palace, I should have had a good reception. Do your best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, but the palace has not prepared any delicacies today, I think that Prime Minister Xiang's family should be ready, and I hope that Mrs. Ji and Ji Gongzi will live happily in Xiang's house. ”
What the emperor said made Su Manxue feel a sigh in her heart, she didn't know what would happen after she lived in Xiang Si's house.
After all, it is the home of the Xiang family, but for the sake of face, no matter how much Xiang Si goes too far, it is impossible for Qingjin Guo to lose face, and she is only teasing Ji Jiuhua at most.
Of course, Ji Jiuhua was unmoved, and Su Manxue was still very confident in this.
But after half an hour's effort, Su Manxue was already standing at the gate of Xiang's house, and Su Manxue had to sigh with emotion about the magical experience of this day.
This just bought a bunch of sugar gourds, and was dragged into the palace by the guards around the emperor, this is not fun, she is now just like Xiang Si herself said last night, the two of them are going to live in Xiang's house.
"It's Young Master Ji here."
Xiang Si stood at the door and smiled, Su Manxue looked at her smile and felt a little disgusting, but she was just using these means to force them.
If Su Manxue was really tough, she could not come, after all, it was the emperor of the Qingjin Kingdom who begged them to buy something.
However, Su Manxue also has a pursuit of high-quality lapis lazuli, she actually wants to be the best, if the quality is indeed high enough, she can naturally relax a little in terms of price, Su Manxue also knows that ordinary lapis lazuli and high-quality lapis lazuli are not the same price.
"Miss Xiang, we're meeting again."
The weather was already very cold, and Su Manxue had a small hand stove in her sleeve to warm her hands.
Ji Jiuhua stood beside Su Manxue, probably because the weather was cold, Su Manxue's body was still trembling slightly, although Su Manxue had a handstove in his hand, his clothes were still relatively thin, Ji Jiuhua took off the cloak on his body and draped it on Su Manxue's shoulders.
"It's warm to go in right away, it's okay."
