Chapter 175: Turmoil in the South

"Hahaha, this king likes to listen to this, you little girl can talk!" Zhu Chong said vaguely while eating the jerky.

"It's useless, Yu Hao's kid has brought so much delicious food, let's say, what do you want this king to do? Do you Haoyue Manor want to develop in my Yunzhou? ”

As soon as these words came out, Guan Yueyue was secretly frightened, this King Pingnan was greedy like a child on the surface, and he was very arrogant, but he was extremely shrewd in his heart, and he actually saw the purpose of his trip at a glance.

"Lord Wang Mingjian, in addition to visiting the prince on the order of my lord, the little girl also has a task when she comes to visit the prince on this trip, which is to open the branch of Haoyue Store to Yunzhou City." Guan Yueyue said truthfully.

Before Guan Yueyue's words fell, the two dart masters behind her took two more boxes and walked in front of Princess Pingnan, slowly opened the boxes, and saw that there were thirteen crystal clear small jade bottles lying quietly in each box.

Each jade bottle is marked with the scent of each bottle of perfume, jasmine, nightshade, rose, moon season...... The thirteen perfumes of Haoyue Manor are all here.

For a while, the whole hall was filled with a strong fragrance.

"This ...... Could it be the legendary perfume? Princess Pingnan hurriedly took out a perfume and opened it to smell it, so excited that she almost cried.

The name of perfume has long been spread in the rich circle of Daqian, and Princess Pingnan often has correspondence with those Kuo wives in Wudu City on weekdays, and those Kuo wives have been praising how good the perfume is in their letters.

Princess Pingnan has long wanted to try the perfume for herself, whether it is really as magical as rumored.

But after all, perfume is in short supply in Wudu City, and Yunzhou is so far away from Wudu City, even if someone resells perfume, they will not sell it to Yunzhou.

Princess Pingnan didn't think about asking someone to buy a perfume from Wudu City and come back to try it, but Zhu Chong never agreed.

Because entrusting someone to buy means owing favors to others, Zhu Chong is a person who does not want to owe favors, and he doesn't want the emperor to know that he has connections with those dignitaries in the court.

So for a long time, Princess Pingnan has always only heard of her name, not her appearance, and owning a bottle of perfume is her dream.

Now that thirteen perfumes were placed in front of her, how could she not be excited?

And from those letters of Mrs. Kuo, I learned that the two perfumes of jasmine and nightshade are very rare even in Wudu City, and they can't be bought with money.

And not only did she get these two rare perfumes, but she also got two bottles of each!

"Back to the princess, this is the perfume researched by our lord, and these two sets of perfumes are gifts for the princess."

Seeing that Princess Pingnan couldn't put down perfume, Guan Yueyue smiled slightly, sure enough, no woman could refuse the temptation of perfume.

"Then thank you, colt." Princess Pingnan said with a smile, and hurriedly put away the two sets of perfumes, for fear of being snatched away by others.

Seeing that the princess had a gift, Zhu Chong pursed his lips, his eyes were full of jealousy, and he thought that the gift Yu Hao prepared for him would not be these foods, right?

This stinky boy is too stingy, right?

Guan Yueyue naturally noticed Zhu Chong's eyes, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, our lord also prepared a gift for the prince, and asked the prince to smile." ”

Saying that, Guan Yueyue personally came to Zhu Chong with a box, and opened the box in Zhu Chong's expectant eyes, only to see a water jade the size of a fingernail lying quietly in the box.

The moment he saw Shui Yu, Zhu Chong's breathing became rapid, his eyes widened, and he looked incredulous: "This ...... Is this water jade? ”

"The prince has a good eye, this water jade is specially prepared for the prince by our lord, I hope the prince likes it." Guan Yueyue said with a smile.

King Pingnan hurriedly took the water jade out of the box, put it in his hand and played with it carefully.

This is really water jade, really water jade!

King Pingnan's heart set off a monstrous wave, and he couldn't understand how the water jade could fall into Yu Hao's hands, this gift was too valuable!

You must know that the Western envoy gave Emperor Zhu Song a water jade, which was inlaid by Zhu Song on his sword, and Zhu Chong was jealous for a long time.

even asked Zhu Song for it many times, but Zhu Song refused for various reasons.

Although this water jade is not as big as the one on Zhu Song's sword, it is more round and clear than that one, and its value is definitely above Zhu Song's!

"Little girl, go back and tell Yu Hao that kid that this gift is liked by the king." Zhu Chong said with a smile, his eyes always stayed on the water jade, and he was full of praise while playing.

"If the prince likes it, then our Haoyue Manor will ask the prince to take care of it in Yunzhou." Guan Yueyue hurriedly said.

"It's easy to say, you can just open the store to the palace, oops, I didn't expect this king to have water jade, and it's better than Zhu Song, will he be angry if he knows? Hahaha! Zhu Chong smiled evilly, looking proud.

At this moment, Zhu Chong suddenly thought of something, and his face became serious: "I almost forgot, little girl, you are coming to Yunzhou to open a store now, I'm afraid it's not the right time." ”

As soon as these words came out, Guan Yueyue suddenly frowned: "Why did the prince say this?" ”

Since entering Yunzhou, it has been a prosperous scene, people come and go on the street, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which should be very suitable for opening a store!

I saw Zhu Chong sigh and said: "Since you are Yu Hao's person, then I won't hide it from you, the barbarians in the south are not very honest recently, and it seems that they will invade at any time." ”

"This morning, the general army guarding Shahe Pass sent people to say that hundreds of thousands of people have gathered on the barbarian side, intending to invade my Daqian, and this king has just mobilized an army, and plans to go to Shahe Pass in person early tomorrow morning."

Shaheguan is the gateway to the south of Daqian, and it is also the military city of Yunzhou, if the barbarians want to invade Daqian, they must first attack Shaheguan.

"Going to war?" Guan Yueyue was shocked, she was about to fight when she first arrived in Yunzhou, this is too unlucky, right?

Besides, the barbarians are much more honest than the Xiongnu, at most there are occasional small forces to attack the border towns, and there are rarely large-scale invasions, so why are they suddenly about to fight?

In addition to the cloth and porcelain used by the common people, the Haoyue store is basically a luxury product, and the main target group is the wealthy people in Yunzhou.

Once the fight starts, these rich people will definitely leave Yunzhou, and at that time it will have a big impact on the business of Haoyue Store.

Guan Yueyue is not afraid of war, she is used to seeing bloody rain along the way, she is afraid that she will not be able to complete the task given to her by Yu Hao!

"Although the barbarians are menacing, they have always been wandering about a hundred miles away from my Shahe Pass, and it is difficult to say whether they will fight or not."

"But Miss Guan don't worry, even if the barbarians call, this king will never let the barbarians cross the Shahe Pass one step! Since you are here, you can open a store with confidence, although it will have a certain impact on your business, but it should not be a big problem. Zhu Chong said.

Guan Yueyue nodded, she just wanted to hurry back to the inn now and send someone to report the situation in Yunzhou to Yu Hao.
