Escape from the desert

Chapter 233
The class classification in this world is very clear. She is just a merchant at the bottom of the ranking. Although Huafang Building is also a merchant, but the other party has a relationship with the imperial court, so she is not something a small commoner can provoke.

Jiang Yan pursed her lips and frowned tightly. The Lin family's business has just developed. If Huafanglou really refused to take a stand and made trouble, then the Lin family would definitely be helpless. No matter when, the official Power is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Seeing Jiang Yan's face changed, Shen Xingyuan smiled, thinking that the other party was tempted, and immediately asked: "How are you thinking? As long as you follow me, I will participate in all the business of your Lin family and help you sell them all over the country. One day, maybe it can be sold to our dependent countries."

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Yan asked in a low voice: "If I don't agree, how will Fifth Lord deal with our Lin family?"

Shen Xingyuan was taken aback, his pupils dilated several times in an instant, he couldn't even believe that such a country widow would actually want to refuse his invitation!
Jiang Yan said in a calm voice: "Huafang Building has a great background. According to what the fifth master said, Huafang Building must follow either the prince or the prince who can compete with the prince for high positions. We are just ordinary people, and we don't care about royal affairs. I understand, but I dare not participate!"

"If the fifth master wants to use the power of the court to threaten the peasant woman to join Huafang building, the peasant woman dare not refuse, but if the fifth master only invites with love for talent, then the peasant woman is very grateful to the fifth master, but the peasant woman has a young child at home. Xiao Sun is not as ambitious as Fifth Master, so I can only thank Fifth Master for his love."

Jiang Yan's words not only hit the nail on the head, but also shocked the world. Shen Xingyuan didn't dare to say that she was standing with the crown prince. He blatantly rejected himself!
If he really used his power to force her to agree, it would be his own fault.

Shen Xingyuan glanced at it, put away the bit of violence, and there was more appreciation in his eyes. Although this Aunt Jiang was only a peasant woman, her words were much more powerful than her own. If it wasn't for her background in the imperial court I'm afraid that Aunt Jiang's face wouldn't change a bit, and she refused right from the start.

There was a dignified atmosphere in the space. Tao Bai looked at the two powerful figures, and the blood on his face faded away. Although he didn't know these two people, he was a slave in a big family since he was a child. The aura on his body, the oppression in his words, and the background involving the court are all warning them.

Not only was Tao Bai dripping with cold sweat, even Fang Ju was too flustered to take a breath. Others didn't know the identity of the fifth master. He knew it well. He couldn't guarantee that the majestic prince was rejected by a peasant woman. This Shen Xing Will Yuan Hui be really angry, and order someone to copy this little Lin's house when he goes back and gives an order?

Shen Xingyuan and Jiang Yan met each other's eyes, the two hadn't spoken for a long time, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed for a while.

Suddenly, Shen Xingyuan rolled his eyes, changed his attitude of being a modest gentleman at the beginning, folded his fan, and raised Erlang's feet on the simple and small wooden chair, exuding an undisguised carelessness and laziness all over his body.

There was displeasure in his tone, "Forget it, forget it, if you don't want it, I can't force it."

Jiang Yan blinked her eyes, raised her head suddenly, and said somewhat sadly: "Then... If I don't join, will those orders still count?"

After all, it was the biggest order after Chang'an Restaurant, and she would not encounter such a big order before this year's Chinese New Year. Although Jiang Yan didn't want to join anyone's command, she was quite reluctant to part with such a large order.

Shen Xingyuan smiled suddenly, and the emotion in his expression was somewhat real. His tone was teasing: "This is what I said, business belongs to business. My boss invites you to join because I think highly of you. It doesn't matter if you don't come. We are still business partners."

Jiang Yan also smiled more sincerely now. It seems that this fifth master is really not a playboy. Although his temper is a bit strange, overall he is still a good person.

Shen Xingyuan continued: "As for today's matter, Aunt Jiang should not talk nonsense when she is outside, as long as you and I know about it."

Jiang Yan nodded, knowing that what he was talking about was about the imperial city, and it would be outrageous for ordinary people to talk about the royal affairs, not to mention that Jiang Yan had already mentioned the position of the princes.

Yuanshen was just an ordinary peasant woman who knew very little about official affairs, but Jiang Yan was different. She could analyze a lot from Yuanshen's shallow understanding of the dynasty.

For example, the emperor is old, the positions of officials are chaotic, and the princes are constantly fighting among themselves. Today's Dahua Dynasty is only peaceful on the surface. How are the people?

The barbarians on the border have repeatedly invaded and cannot be suppressed. The snow disaster in the east cannot be controlled, and the drought here cannot be appeased. There are still many places where water is rare, and refugees are everywhere. And these, the young masters of Huafang Building, the fifth master who lived under the protection of the court, obviously didn't really understand it yet.

"How much of this batch of wine do you keep at home?" Shen Xingyuan tapped Jiang Yan again, and asked about wine. He is very fond of this thing. If possible, he would like to take a few jars away today.

"Two hundred altars, ten kilograms per jar, the price I gave to Chang'an Restaurant was five taels of silver per catty, but I can't give it to the fifth master at this price for my own. As long as it is properly preserved, the longer the wine is preserved, the better it will taste. mellow."

Shen Xingyuan's handsome eyebrows were raised slightly, and he let out a chuckle, "Why, Aunt Jiang is preparing to speak like a lion?"

"Of course I don't dare, the peasant woman is just telling the truth."

"Oh, how much money does Aunt Jiang plan to give me to Huafang Building?"

Jiang Yan pursed her lips, pretending to think for a few seconds, her lips moved slightly, and said without hesitation: "7 taels of silver per catty."

She just added two or two taels more. If the other party hadn't threatened her with her identity just now, Jiang Yan would not have temporarily increased the price.

"Okay, just do what you said, Lao Fang, give me the money!"

Shen Xingyuan didn't hesitate, and agreed directly. He didn't think that Aunt Jiang would kill him again, but was surprised that the price was so cheap. If the child arrived, a catty of wine would cost more than ten taels in the imperial city!

Jiang Yan was a little surprised by Shen Xingyuan's boldness, and wondered if his asking price was too low.

"The money I brought today is not enough, I will make it up for you tomorrow, can I take away two altars today?" He had other things to do in Fang County this time, and now he found out about the late rice, so he had to go back to the imperial city to arrange it as soon as possible, otherwise When the county magistrate of Linfang County reported to the imperial city, they would lose the opportunity.
