Chapter 271: It's No Good to Be Crazy (3)
"What can I do, it's too late."
"If the pearl of that female merchant is still in her hand, princess, shall we buy it? Or send a message to Duobao Pavilion, let's earn 5,000 taels of silver? Thinking that he had no capital, He deliberately used words to put the princess inside.
"You are stupid, you must raise money to buy the pearl, you quickly arrange for someone to keep an eye on the dealer, make sure that the pearl is not sold, then go to those Tibetan nobles, the two sides have discussed, we will trade again, so that it is safe."
"Hehe, it's still the princess who is smart." He took the opportunity to slap his mother-in-law's ass.
Princess Ren was in high spirits and continued to educate her daughter-in-law: "This business must be steady, and you must not be reckless." ”
"Yes, the princess is right." He slapped it again, and saw that Princess Ren was laughing, and then he talked about the key to the matter, "Princess, how can the insufficient silver come out?" ”
"I want to think about it." Where can Princess Ren get her money from? There is only one way, and that is in her husband's hand, she waved her hand, "Don't worry, first make things realistic, and I'll talk to the prince." ”
"Good! Princess, I can rest assured that I will boldly implement it. ”
When He returned to the house, he asked Qin's mother to inform the old Qin Tou and ask him to bring the female businessman over tomorrow, and Qin's mother immediately went out to tell the man, if this matter is done, the master doesn't know how much reward to give, maybe this life is enough, as long as they stay up for another three or five years, they can use the excuse of poor health, ask for Rongyang, and go back to their hometown with the silver to enjoy the blessings.
Lao Qin was ordered by his wife's ear, tossing and turning all night, and only in the morning was slightly confused, as soon as the morning light showed a line, he woke up, quickly dressed and got up, wiped his face with water, ran to the kitchen to grab a steamed bun, and hurried out, this time he learned to be obedient, and took out ten cents to hire a carriage. There are few pedestrians on the road, and in a quarter of an hour, I arrived at the door of Dongsheng Inn.
The door of the inn was open, someone was eating breakfast, Lao Qin saw that someone also arrived there in a carriage, did not eat, but pulled Xiao Er to ask, he was curious to listen closer, it turned out to be a female businessman, and he would not steal business with the master, right? He pricked up his ears and heard Xiao Er say: "That girl got up very late, don't think about it until the hour, this old brother, you wait patiently, why don't you order wine and food in our store and wait slowly?" ”
"It's okay, the wine is free, let's have a pot of tea." The man walked in gently, Lao Qin stood there embarrassed, and finally, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet back, and hired a carriage to return to Prince Ren's mansion.
He hasn't gotten up yet, Lao Qin saw that he was far away from Chen, so he went to the kitchen with peace of mind, the next stove had already been opened, Lao Qin pleaded with the steward, and the family gave him a big bowl of leftover millet porridge, and allowed him to use the embers in the stove to roast a steamed bun and eat it with pickles.
At the end of the day, the mother-in-law of Lao Qin Tuo's second door passed it inside, hoping that his wife could come out to see her.
Mother Qin was also worried, and immediately came out when she heard it: "How is it?" Why didn't anyone bring in? ”
"Haven't gotten up yet, that's it......"
After listening to her husband's words, Qin's mother was a little embarrassed, if she didn't report this matter to her master, what if that person was robbing business and her man was not an opponent? But it was reported that the man was not buying pearls, and the master had a false alarm, and he must have been scolded.
Thinking about it, the heart of making a fortune still prevailed, Qin's mother hurriedly returned and reported the situation to He's, He's was also very anxious when she heard it, this time there was no communication, so she hurried to see Prince Ren.
However, Concubine Dong has already arrived, and she is asking the princess to say goodbye, and the He family can't give the princess a look, and the princess is blind and lonely, and she is gossiping with Concubine Dong.
Concubine Dong has been trying to manage the kitchen recently, and she is very patient with Prince and Princess Ren, and she has waited for the He family to be anxious, and Concubine Yang has also come, and several people have been gossiping until the beginning of the morning.
"Princess, someone is stealing business with us, what should we do?"
Princess Ren was also anxious when she heard this, thought about it, and called Jing's mother. Jing's mother is the steward of the outer courtyard, and he can be regarded as having a bit of face, and his ability is also good, so Princess Ren wants him to take a trip.
Mother Qin was in a hurry, if Jing's mother and man intervened, where would she and the man have soup to drink? But when the master speaks, where can she interject? What's more, her master couldn't afford to provoke the princess, she couldn't help but stand aside sadly, watching Jing's mother go out in a hurry, and then came back and replied: "My child's father is just free and has already taken a half-day off." ”
The princess waved her hand: "Second daughter-in-law, let your people take Jing Chunwang for a trip." ”
"Yes, Princess."
When He explained to Qin's mother, he also said something special: "Let your man assist Jing's mother's man to handle things well." ”
"Yes!"
Lao Qin explained things clearly on the road, and when he arrived at the Dongsheng Inn, it was already the end of the hour, as soon as he walked into the door of the inn, he saw the red-haired girl walking upstairs, and the man in a long robe followed by a very gentle man.
"That person?" Jing Chunwang asked.
"Yes, keep up."
Lao Qin was rushing forward, but was grabbed by Jing Chunwang: "Don't worry, listen to me." Jing Chunwang compared and drew a gesture to Lao Qin, and made Lao Qin happy: "Okay, good, wonderful, just do it." ”
The two walked quickly to the stairs of the inn, Xiao Er greeted him, and Jing Chunwang gave a dime of silver: "Find someone to do business." "Bypass Xiao Er and go up.
The stairs of the inn are not wide, only two people can be placed side by side, Lao Qin and Jing Chunwang walked to the man in the long shirt in a few moments, Lao Qin is tall and powerful, squeezed over to block between him and Fannu, Jing Chunwang took the opportunity to give the female Fan Shang said: "I am from Prince Ren's Mansion, our princess wants to invite you to take a trip." ”
"What's the matter? Princess? There was a look of horror in the eyes of the person who spoke, and Jing Chunwang became more and more powerful: "Our princess invited you to talk about business, I wonder if your gourd-shaped pearl has been sold?" ”
The man who was blocked by Lao Qin heard it and was so anxious: "That's mine, Jenny promised to sell it to me." ”
The female merchant muttered, indicating that she didn't understand, but fortunately the female agent came, and the man in the long shirt shouted anxiously: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you promised to sell me the pearl?" ”
When Jing Chunwang heard this, he immediately walked to the female agent and revealed his identity as the palace: "Our princess has taken a fancy to that pearl, please take something with you." ”
The female agent was in a hurry, beads of sweat on her face came out, rolling down her cheeks, and she barely squeezed out a sentence: "I have accepted the deposit of the shopkeeper Hu." ”
"Go back!" Jing Chunwang had a terrifying momentum, and the female agent's mouth moved, but she didn't make a sound.
Seeing this scene, the man in the long shirt said unconvinced: "Sister-in-law, if you break the contract, you will return the deposit twice." ”
The eldest sister-in-law looked at Jing Chunwang with a blank eye, hoping that he could bear part of it, but how dare Jing Chunwang bear the debt for his master? Several people were at a stalemate, and the eldest sister-in-law softened first: "Okay, I'll give you the deposit when I go back." ”
The man snorted angrily, flicked his sleeves and walked away.
Lao Qin was still talking wittily in the back: "Who wants you to compete with our princess?" This is fate, you shouldn't have made this fortune. ”
"Wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes." The female agent and the female businessman entered the house, Lao Qin and Jing Chunwang were waiting outside, probably the female agent wanted to make it clear to the female businessman, or she was sweating too much just now and needed to change her clothes, anyway, it was quite a long time, Lao Qin couldn't help it, and knocked on the door twice, and the two women walked out slowly.
Prince Ren sent Sun Si, a side room that she had placed in the outer courtyard, to the Siyi Pavilion in the morning, Sun Si was a distant relative of the Prince of Ren, who had studied for a few years, and had been in the Prince Ren's Mansion for more than ten years, so he had seen the world, and he found a small official in the Siyi Pavilion, and met with one of the stewards of the group of Tibetan nobles, and asked him to find a way to inform the master that their princess had a rare treasure in her hands.
When the steward heard this, he was overjoyed, and told Sun Si in a very stiff Chinese that their master wanted to buy a rare treasure for the princess of Tubo.
"Our master said that as long as it is indeed a good thing, money is not an issue."
"Our princess wants at least sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver, is it okay?" Sun Si also confirmed it.
"There is no problem, our master has a gold mine in his hand, and there is so much gold in the vault that it will flow out, you can rest assured, tomorrow, our master will go to your house to see the goods, and if it is as you said, he will definitely buy it."
Sun Si immediately returned to the palace, and as soon as he reported the news to the princess, Lao Qin and Jing Chunwang came with female agents and female businessmen.
It turned out that the female agent and the female businessman said that they had negotiated a good business with the shopkeeper of Yixin Pavilion, and they gave them 40,000 taels of silver.
Princess Ren was not moved at all, and insisted on only giving them the first offer - 30,000 taels of silver, and the female merchant and the female agent were so sad that they almost shed tears.
The last request of the female agent: "Princess Niangniang, then you have to give us cash." ”
"Can you handle the cash? A silver ticket issued by the Tobe. ”
"Okay." The reputation of the household bank ticket is good, but it is a pity that 10,000 taels of silver will be charged a handling fee of 100 taels, and the female agent saw that a few hundred taels of silver were missing, and her eyes were red with sadness.
Prince Ren let people help her to go to the outer courtyard, and she came to ask the man for money. Prince Ren sat in the outer study, and after listening to his wife's words, his brows furrowed involuntarily: "You are in the inner courtyard all the year round, where will you do any business?" Besides, is there a shortage of money in the house? Send the merchants away, and you can take care of the middle bank. "Prince Ren was going to soak mushrooms with men, but who knew that a little eunuch came and informed the prince to go to the clan to discuss things, Prince Ren was not worried about his wife, and especially advised: "Don't do it, send those two women away." ”
