What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 187 You Are Here Again
Xue Xiang was still worried: "Let's just do this for now."

I'm afraid that the emperor already knows, but unfortunately the emperor refuses to summon him, he is just a small prefect.

Give him a hundred guts, and he would never dare to disturb the other courtyard of the palace.

-

Xinggong Bieyuan.

When Xie Chenyu learned that Su Nianbai was back, he decided to come to the door again.

He is still dressed as a foreign merchant.

Sky-blue silk clothes, green hair crown inlaid with velvet cloth, folding fan with landscape painting, and light white thick-soled soap boots.

This is the most classic dress of Jiangnan merchants. The thick-soled boots are for walking without tired feet.

This time he came alone.

Liu Da recognized him at a glance: "You are here again."

"It's a pity that it's not a coincidence. Our shopkeeper has encountered something, and we haven't seen outsiders in the past two days."

Xie Chenyu said that he was here to place an order, and he was not in a hurry but just took a look first.

Liu Da shook his head and let him in after hesitating for a while.

"But guest officer, let's go. Something happened in our dyeing workshop. We haven't dyed cloth recently. If you want to order, go to other places to have a look."

Xie Chenyu frowned: "Can I ask why?"

He handed over an ingot of gold as before.

Liu Dalian pushed it back without looking at it: "It's inconvenient for outsiders to deal with our shopkeeper, guest officer, please forgive me."

Seventy or eighty bolts of dyed silk were neatly hung on the crumbling drying racks, and the bright red silk fluttered in the wind, beautiful and delicate.

Xie Chenyu stretched out his hand to touch it, and it was the same as the tribute in the palace, even smoother than that.

He couldn't find any fault with the silk except that it wasn't completely dry.

Looking down, the water after drying is also extremely clear, without any fading.

"Unexpectedly, the small Rongde dyeing workshop will have such skills"

"To tell you the truth, I'm a merchant from the capital city. I'm going to order a batch of high-quality silk when I come to Suzhou this time. The quantity is not large but it must be of high quality. These are all used as wedding dresses and dowry for Xiuzhuang."

Xie Chenyu bowed his hand again, with a humble attitude.

"The villain has traveled all over Suzhou City, and I have seen several cloth houses that are not satisfactory. I don't know if this batch of goods in front of me has someone else, why don't you sell them to me?"

There is nothing more proud of a craftsman than this.

When someone said that I couldn't find a satisfactory product after traveling all over the city of Suzhou, I didn't expect it to be found here.

That spontaneous sense of pride and pride drove Liu Da to bring Xie Chenyu to Su Nianbai.

Su Nianbai was busy all night, lying on the bed with his clothes closed and resting his mind.

While tossing and turning in a drowsy sleep, suddenly a young man in Tsing Yi appeared at the door, reflecting the rising sun of July, like the light.

The young man smiled first, then humbly bowed his hands and bowed to salute, his movements were flowing and smooth.

"I think this is shopkeeper Su from Rongde Dyeing Workshop. Xie Yu is from the capital, and I want to find a batch of high-quality silk from the shopkeeper. The material should be good and the color should be uniform."

Su Nianbai did not hear what he was saying.

All his attention was focused on the facial features of the young man. These facial features were extremely familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before, inexplicably familiar.

He slowly got up and approached step by step, and stopped at a distance of three steps.

"What did you say your name was? Where did you come from?"

"My surname is Xie, from Beijing"

Su Nianbai was so shocked that he couldn't move for a long time, after a while he recovered, he staggered and turned around to give up his seat, pouring water and serving tea himself.

"You look like an old friend of mine"

Xie Chenyu turned his face away, clenched his robe tightly with his big hands, and said with a smile that although you and I met for the first time, I also felt familiar, so we might as well treat it as a reunion after a long absence.

"I, Xie Yu, can know shopkeeper Su, I can't ask for it"

Su Nianbai was puzzled: "The most famous dyeing workshop in Suzhou is Xingsheng Dyeing Workshop, how could you have heard of me?"

Xie Chenyu smiled.

"To tell you the truth, shopkeeper, I once bought ready-made clothes from a shop in the capital city. I really liked the color of the material. I followed that dress all the way to find it. I know that you dyed its color."

Su Nianbai smiled: "Now that you see it, are you disappointed?"

"Actually, our Rongde Dyeing Workshop does not have a lot of shipments a year, and most of them are sporadic merchants from other places."

The Suzhou locals are almost out of control.

"That's great"

"It just so happens that I don't have many goods, so you might as well dye them for me. It won't delay you for long. I can pay a deposit in advance."

Su Nianbai wanted to refuse.

The dyeing workshop is almost losing its hold, and the clerks have all been dismissed. How can he be in the mood to do business.

But there was a force somewhere that pushed him to agree.

"For the sake of your long journey, I made your order", which is also the last order of Rongde Dyeing Workshop.

Since it is a wedding dress, there should be no delay.

"Great"

Xie Chenyu made a decision with gold on the spot, saying that when the business was completed, he would invite the shopkeeper to drink.

Su Nianbai smiled wryly and did not answer.

Later, seeing that he was honest, Su Nianbai kindly told him.

"You may not be able to find my dyeing workshop in the future, but it doesn't matter. If you want high-quality silk, I can recommend you a few in Lin'an. It's still very good there."

Xie Chenyu widened his eyes and asked why.

Su Nianbai shook his head and refused to say another word.

Xie Chenyu stayed until the evening before leaving, Su Nianbai led the guys, everyone was full of enthusiasm and inexplicable sadness.

Like the old general who retired from the battlefield for the last time, and like the master who taught in the academy for the last time.

After this scene, everything will come to an end.

Before leaving, Xie Chenyu repeatedly confessed that there is no need to worry about fear, everyone can work with peace of mind, and everything will be fine.

It's a pity that no one listened to him, and everyone regarded him as an uninformed foreign businessman.

-

Three days passed quickly.

On the second day of July, it was cloudy.

Xue Xiang invited Su Nianbai again.

This time it was in the private room of the restaurant, Xue Xiang was as humble and courteous as ever.

He is different from all corrupt officials, with a clear and frank attitude in every gesture.

He invited Su Nianbai to drink, and exchanged glasses like a brother, halfway through the drink, he began to complain about his situation.

"Brother Su, it's not my brother, I'm embarrassing you, it's really my official."

"It's rare for the emperor to send someone to investigate. I have to work hard, but Xingsheng Dyeing Workshop is so unreliable. I don't rely on you."

"This officer is determined to keep our title of Suzhou Brocade Hometown. Only you can help me with this matter."

"Two thousand bolts a day, three days is six thousand bolts of cloth, when will Brother Su hand it in? I'll ask the Yamen to pay you money."

Xue Xiang has a humble attitude, but his words are compelling.

Su Nianbai put down his wine glass and directly said that it couldn't be dyed.

Xue Xiang shook his head in doubt: "Why can't I understand what brother Su said? You just said which warehouse it is stored in, and I will send someone to move it over there."

"After today, we must ensure that all the cloth and ready-to-wear that appear on the market are the best"

Su Nianbai smiled distantly.

"Don't you understand, my lord? The villain said that it can't be dyed, please find another way."

Xue Xiang looked at the master outside the door and shook his head regretfully.

"Brother Su is really shameless. I am very sad. If Brother Su continues to behave like this, I am afraid I will not be able to help you."
