Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1260 Famine and Natural Disaster 419

"If we hadn't met the young lady from the palace, my son would have died. We are already ashamed to give you this small gift as a thank you for saving my life. If you don't accept it, we will be at a loss."

The Gan couple are full of sincerity.

Steward Luo smiled helplessly, "Master Gan, Madam Gan, this is the order of our young lady. I didn't expect to receive your reward for saving the life. I am just the steward of the palace. If you don't take it back, it will be difficult for me, a servant, to report to you."

When the Gan family heard this, they were full of gratitude and liked the young lady even more. In the past, they were merchants and could not get close to the powerful family like the Zhou Palace. They might not be looked down upon by the family. But now they had different ideas. The housekeeper of the palace was so kind to them. They had never seen the arrogant attitude of the servants of the officials.

"It's our fault. We only brought some things to your house. I wonder if there is anything that the young lady likes. We will have someone find it and send it to the palace for her to enjoy."

Since they couldn't send thank-you gifts, they decided to find another way to express their gratitude.

  It was true that they had not been thoughtful enough in their gift giving, and had not inquired about the preferences of the young lady in the palace. They had only brought what they thought were valuable thank-you gifts, but they had forgotten how noble and prestigious the palace was, and how could they value such a small gift from them? !

Now that they know where they went wrong, if they work harder, they might be able to establish a relationship with the palace.

It will be convenient for them to act in this area of ​​the northwest in the future.

Butler Luo deliberately made things difficult.

Mr. Gan was anxious to know the answer, so he asked without thinking too much.

"Please tell me something, Steward Luo. My husband and I have no intention of asking about the young lady's hobbies. However, our son is lucky to have the young lady's help. If we don't show any appreciation for this kindness, we will feel bad. Please help us, Steward, and make us feel better."

"That's right, please tell me a little bit, butler." Mrs. Gan agreed.

The two were afraid that if they missed this opportunity, they would never have the chance to get in touch with the palace again in the future.

Seeing the anxious look of the couple, Butler Luo shook his head and sighed.

"That's all. It's okay to reveal a few things to you."

"Please let Butler Luo know." The couple bowed and lowered their heads, each of them being very humble.

Arrogance to this extent is enough. Steward Luo pretended to be helpless and said: "You also know that we just repelled the 200,000 troops of three countries at the border not long ago."

The Gan couple looked at each other, wondering why Butler Luo brought up this matter.

"Yes, I heard that the Central Plains was in chaos, with princes and nobles rising up in various places, wars continuing, and the people suffering. Fortunately, the Zhou Palace held on to the northwest, so we were able to have a peaceful place to live, all thanks to the prince of the Zhou Palace."

The King of Zhou is seriously ill, and the Crown Prince is in charge now, so it is appropriate for them to say this.

"That's right. The battle we fought not long ago was really exhausting. There were many casualties in the army. Our young lady is different from other young ladies. Her favorite thing to do is to help the prince."

Butler Luo stopped there.

The Gan couple realized that Steward Luo was setting a trap for them; the Gan family could not supply the Northwest Army's 200,000 troops.

But, they couldn't refuse.

Having said that, if they show any intention of backing down, they will never be able to enter the palace again.

"The young lady is indeed different from other young ladies. She is truly concerned about the country and the people."

Butler Luo smiled, as if he was just mentioning it and didn't mean anything.

Master Gan smiled and said, "The Central Plains is in such chaos, we are lucky to have the grace of the palace to live in peace; my family is willing to donate 100,000 shi of grain and grass to the Northwest Army. We are weak and cannot go to the battlefield, so we will definitely do our best to supply grain and grass."

He only said to try his best but didn't say to spend all his money.

However, 100,000 shi was not a small sum for the Gan family, and it would take some time to mobilize. "We dare not accept it for nothing, we dare not accept it for nothing; Master Gan has grain, and the palace pays for it, so we have to pay for it, and we cannot let Master Gan suffer a loss." Steward Luo smiled in his heart, but he did not show it on his face, and even pretended to be excited and thanked them; and he also expressed invisibly that they could cooperate for a long time.

Butler Luo did not receive the food in vain, he was planning for long-term cooperation.

There is no doubt that the Crown Prince will strive to conquer the Central Plains in the future; the most important thing is to win over some businessmen. Even though these businessmen have no power, they have business acumen!

As long as he gave them a little sweetness, he believed that Mr. Gan was a smart man.

"Don't refuse, housekeeper. My husband and I really want to do something for the Northwest Army. This amount of food is insignificant to the army, but at present, our family can only mobilize this little food. We are really ashamed."

Master Gan spoke in shame.

Butler Luo only listened and understood the meaning of the words. "Mr. Gan is so kind. On behalf of the Crown Prince, I would like to thank you and your wife. However, the food and grass for the Northwest Army is the top priority now. Your donation of food and grass can solve the problem temporarily, but it cannot solve the subsequent problems. Don't you think so?"

Master Gan suddenly realized.

"What the housekeeper said is true. I will go back and join forces with my old friends. I think I can get an extra 100,000 shi."

Seeing that he understood, Steward Luo was secretly satisfied and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Gan. The food and fodder will be in place, and the money will be sent as well."

Master Gan said nothing, just nodded, and the two reached a consensus; they didn't talk about anything else, they just waited for him to get food and supplies to show his loyalty.

Only with food and supplies to pave the way can there be follow-up.

Steward Luo saw that it was almost done, so he stepped aside and said, "You two should go see Master Gan. His leg has been reattached. My young lady has given Master Gan the most expensive medicine in the army. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be fine in the future."

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Steward Luo called the doctor of Chen Mansion and said, "Take the two of you to the house to see Master Gan."

"Yes." Doctor Chen agreed with a smile and invited the Gan couple to leave the side hall.

Butler Luo stroked his beard and smiled, then walked out of the house; Chunxi hurriedly followed him, "Butler Luo, please stay."

Butler Luo stopped and looked at Chunxi.

"Why are you here? Is there something wrong, young lady?"

Chunxi and Chunmei seldom looked for him, and usually when they did it was because the young ladies had instructions for them.

"Butler Luo, today I went to see the flowers and plants in the small garden. I heard that they were all sent from the Western Regions. I liked them very much, but I don't know their names."

"I see! Recently, I have only transplanted three kinds of flowers and plants, namely tulips, pomegranates, and jasmine. The white one is jasmine, the pomegranate is red, and the other one is tulips."

"Thank you for the information, Steward Luo. I will take my leave now."

Chunxi smiled and bowed and left.

Butler Luo continued to stroke his beard with a smile in his eyes; if the young lady likes them, then their existence is meaningful. It seems that he should plant more rare flowers and plants so that the young lady can appreciate them more.

I rarely come back to the palace, and even less time staying here for long; I must leave some good impressions on the young lady.

There should be another chapter later o(*￣︶￣*)o
