stormy clouds

Chapter 58 Trading
"No, it's a long way from the capital. My carriage is not big, and there are some cages. If you add that, you can't run fast at all."

Pei's face turned blue, she endured it, and said in a low voice: "Yun'er, Yao'er is your younger sister after all, and we share the same sympathy, but now she is in trouble, how can you, a sister, be so ruthless. "

"Human face?" Chang Luoyun sneered, "Has Mrs. Pei ever told me about sympathy? Are you not afraid of being shabby when you say the word "human face" in front of me?"

Pei secretly gritted her teeth.Seeing Chang Luoyun's reluctance, she said half angry and half threatening: "If you don't want to, I'll have to go and plead guilty to the princess.

Anyway, I don't want this old face anymore, and the princess will blame you, and you will not be in good shape. "

Chang Luoyun snorted, "Miss Pei is threatening me? But I'm not afraid of this by nature, you're going to tell Princess Xiang that you can go anyway, anyway, I don't expect the Queen Mother to marry me."

"You..." Mrs. Pei was trembling with anger, "It's just that you have some money. No matter how great you are, don't forget that your surname is Chang."

Chang Luoyun laughed, "Naturally I have my incredible capital, Mrs. Pei should understand by now, you left the Chang family, but you are nothing."

Pei Shi had never been so angry before, she was really about to get sick from anger, so much so that her voice seemed to be squeezed out word by word.

"Yun'er, you are too disrespectful. As the saying goes, there are three stakes for a fence, and there are always times when people are in trouble. If you treat your sister like this today, do you still have to rely on the Chang family tomorrow?"

Chang Luoyun glanced at her coldly, and said in a cold tone: "Ms. Pei, you said that I, a girl who lost her mother, never relied on anyone when she was a child. Can I still rely on the Chang family when I grow up?"

Pei's face was ashen.She opened her mouth, and finally turned and left with heavy steps.

But she didn't dare in the end, and her steps were obviously sluggish.

"Miss Pei, I actually thought of a way."

Pei suddenly turned around.Wasn't she delaying and refusing to leave just waiting for this sentence?
I knew that she couldn't ignore Yao'er, so it seemed that she was betting right.

It's not clear whether it's excitement or embarrassment, but Pei's eyes are filled with tears.

If she hadn't really dared to see the princess, she wouldn't have come here to suffer.Now that she's here, as long as the carriage issue can be resolved, she agrees to whatever she wants.

She wiped her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and asked eagerly, "Yun'er, what can you do?"

Chang Luoyun stood up, she was already tall, and when she walked in front of Pei Shi, she was half a head taller than her, exuding a compelling aura.

"How about we make a deal?" Chang Luoyun said.

"Deal? What deal?" Pei was a little confused.

"The Chang family's embroidery workshop was originally founded by my aunt, and it is empty now. Why don't you sell the embroidery workshop to me, and you take the money and exchange it for a better carriage."

"That can't be done. The embroidery workshop belongs to the Chang family. It still needs your father's consent. I can't make it up." Mrs. Pei quickly refused.

"Since it doesn't work, then there is no other way." Chang Luoyun walked back, "For the carriage, you can figure it out yourself."

Pei's anger resents Chang Luoyun for being too calculating, but in the current situation, she has nothing to do.

She quickly calculated that since the death of Mrs. Han, the embroidery workshop has been empty and useless.It's just that, anyway, it is also the property of the Chang family. She originally wanted to make a dowry for Yao'er. Although it is worthless, it looks better.

She glanced at Chang Luoyun, and saw that she was sitting calmly at the table, concentrating on ordering tea.

Mrs. Pei thought for a while, gritted her teeth and said, "In addition to the carriage, give me another 100 taels of silver."

Chang Luoyao stopped what she was doing, and looked at Mrs. Pei with interest, "Ms. Pei probably has been in the house for a long time, so she doesn't know the current market situation at all.

How much is a carriage worth?How much is that empty embroidery workshop worth? "

Chang Luoyun said: "If it wasn't for my surname Chang, and the embroidery workshop was run by my aunt, I wouldn't be doing this loss-making business."

Mrs. Pei blushed, "80 taels of silver can't be less, Yun'er," Mrs. Pei said, "Although the embroidery workshop is not big, it is square and square. There are not many embroidery workshops like this in Qingzhou."

Chang Luoyun stared at her with a half-smile, "You probably forgot that my last name is Chang, right?
If I tell my father that I want that embroidery workshop, do you think my father will give it to me? After all, my mother earned it. "

Pei's body swayed, and his face was a little pale.

"Then it's settled. Find us a better carriage."

"The carriage is still the same carriage, I can buy it. To change to a better horse tomorrow, it will not be a problem to get to Jingcheng."

That's all there is to it.Although Pei was unwilling, he could only sign and make a deposit.

When she came back, she asked Fei Cui to ask the groom for the fare, "I agreed to go to the capital, and I haven't walked halfway yet, so I can't pay the rest of the fare for nothing."

Fei Cui went there and came back with a white face, "Lady, the coachman is a jerk. I just arrived at his place, and before I even spoke, he said that his horse got sick because he was exhausted from sending the lady here. We heal.

He also said that this horse is the source of rations for his family, if the horse is gone, the lady will have to pay half of it anyway. "

Pei spat, "The morals of the world have really changed. Any cat or dog would dare to bully us. If the old lady was still around, such a person would have been severely kicked out."

Having said that, Mrs. Pei stopped talking.

Back then, the Chang family had confidence not because they had money. If she also had money, how could she suffer from such embarrassment.

But along the way, she also knew what kind of virtue the groom was.He was sure that she was afraid of losing face and dared not speak up, so he dared to bully her boss so openly.

But because she was afraid of the princess of the county, she really didn't dare to speak up. She was so angry and tired, and physically and mentally exhausted, that Pei's heart really hurt.

Although she took two Baohe Pills, it had no effect. When she woke up the next day, she was so energetic. Even if she put on thick powder, she couldn't hide the sallowness on her face.

Princess Anjun asked strangely, "Miss Pei was fine yesterday, why are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Pei smiled to cover up, "I'm not feeling sick, but I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm a little sleepy today."

"Going out is not as good as being at home. Naturally, the journey is more difficult. Mrs. Pei must adapt as soon as possible."

Pei replied: "Yes."

Just as he was talking, he saw two clerks at the post station pull a horse and put it on Pei's cart, and the driver also changed to a clean and tidy young man.

The princess of the county said, "I wanted to say yesterday that Mrs. Pei's horse and coachman should have been changed long ago."

Pei blushed and said, "I've been thinking about this too, but there's nothing suitable on the way."

The princess of the county nodded, "The horses at the post station are indeed good, but the price is also high. The horse that Mrs. Pei is changing now looks very good."
