Glory in Troubled Times: The Empress' Growth Path

Chapter 17

Hua Qiong pulled back her thoughts, it would be too long to think about the war now, but listening to what the little drug boy said, the country is still safe at present.

Now concentrate on treating your injuries and don't think about what's there or what's not.

"Ting An, how is your injury?"

"I'm not in the way, it's mainly you and Master Zhao."

Speaking of Mr. Zhao, his situation is really not good. Judging by Zhao Ting'an's appearance, he has no plan to inform the people in Zhao's residence in the village.

Now they encountered robbers on the road, if they encountered robbers again on the way they came, then Zhao Mansion would be completely deserted.

Poor Mrs. Zhao is probably still waiting at home.

"How are the guys doing?"

"Hey, three people survived, and one of them is hard to save."

Zhao Ting'an said, feeling sad for a while, no matter how bad the people of Zhao's mansion were to him, they still had the grace of nurturing him, and now they don't know what happened to them.

"Is there any more cargo to process?"

goods!

They came to Bai Town this time because they wanted to sell the goods at a good price. Now that there are no people, there is no way to sell goods.

Zhao Ting'an was depressed, and said helplessly: "There are not enough manpower now, and I'm afraid we won't be able to sell this year's goods."

"We came here in a hurry just now. We entered the clinic and brought the doctors over for treatment. I'm afraid we don't have enough money now. We have to sell some goods. Otherwise, after seeing the doctor, let the rest of the guys go Do you drink northwest wind?"

Zhao Tingan, after hearing this, lowered his head and did not speak.

At this time, Hua Qiong thought that as an adult with minor injuries, he had to stand up.

The little drug boy took the medicine and was about to come over to bandage Hua Qiong, but seeing her determined face, it seemed that she had made some important decision.

"I'll sell the goods for you, what goods do you have this time?"

"There will be more leather, and the rest are some dried flowers stored before, which can be used as medicine or made into sachets."

Hua Qiong thought, since Mr. Zhao can bring the leather to Baizhen for sale, it means that he is optimistic about it.

The little drug boy hurriedly stopped her: "No matter what you want to do now, let me put the medicine on you first."

Without further ado, Hua Qiong was turned away, took off the lining, and asked the little drug boy to apply the medicine.

Zhao Tingan wisely went out and waited outside the door.

But Hua Qiong still asked about the goods.

"Who do you usually sell to?"

"The shopkeeper Wang of the leather shop, or the shopkeeper Li of the garment shop, they are all old acquaintances of our Zhao family. The master came to Bai Town this time to deliver goods to shopkeeper Wang and them."

"Don't worry about whether he has other arrangements now, we laymen are lucky to be able to keep what we have. After a while, you let the guys rest in the medical hall, and you and I will go to those two shops to have a look."

Zhao Ting'an agreed, and went downstairs to arrange for his assistant and Mr. Zhao, and waited for Hua Qiong on the donkey cart.

Soon after Hua Qiong came out of the clinic, her face was still a little pale, but her brows had been relaxed, unlike before she had to endure the pain.

The two of them drove a donkey cart full of leather towards the shopkeeper Wang who used to sell leather.

Hua Qiong took the opportunity to ask Zhao Ting'an a lot about the shopkeeper Wang of the leather shop.

This person is nicknamed "Wang Laopi", and his eyes for looking at leather are unique in Baizhen, no matter good or bad, as long as he can identify the quality at a glance.

It's a pity that Zhao Ting'an used to just wait outside the door until they finished negotiating the price before going in, and Mr. Zhao rarely mentioned this person, so Zhao Ting'an didn't know the character of shopkeeper Wang.

Hua Qiong thought about this carefully. Those who can gain a foothold in this prosperous Bai Town must have two real skills, and their character is probably not too bad.

The two drove the donkey cart that had been attacked by the robbers and parked outside shopkeeper Wang's shop.

Attract the attention of passers-by.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, don't pull all the goods to the door of our Wang's Leather."

Zhao Ting'an jumped off the donkey cart and responded politely: "I am Ting'an from the Zhao family, and I am here to see shopkeeper Wang and let him see the goods."

Hua Qiong looked at the Wang's leather shop in front of him. In front of him was a two-storey shop with a wooden structure. Just looking from the inside to the outside, one could see the bustling business inside, perhaps due to seasonal factors.

"Which Zhao family, I haven't heard of it, don't delay our business."

The boy at the door spoke angrily, with the intention of chasing people away, Hua Qiong frowned after hearing this.

Peace of mind has always been the most important thing in business, why did the little ghosts below start acting like demons before seeing King Hades.

Hua Qiong couldn't bear this, and asked Zhao Ting'an loudly: "Ting'an, is this the shopkeeper Wang's leather shop you mentioned?"

"Business people come to drive away customers before they see them. I heard that shopkeeper Wang in Baizhen is a man of discernment, and so are his fellows. Let's not make a mistake."

Originally, their donkey cart that had been attacked was very eye-catching, but now that Hua Qiong said this, many people began to gather around the door of Wang's leather shop, and it seemed lively.

"Our leather, not to mention selling Wang's leather, other shops are also scrambling for it. Why is this Wang's shop so big? Could it be that the shop is bullying customers?"

"Hey, everyone, you all have to judge. We came all the way to deliver the goods from shopkeeper Wang. We also encountered robbers on the way, and they didn't even let us in."

Wang's leather business is good, people come and go, now that Hua Qiong yelled, more and more people gathered on the street, they kept blocking the middle of the road, and everyone kept discussing.

Shopkeeper Wang, who was sitting on the attic, had already seen all this. He wanted to lower the price, but this girl who had never seen him before messed up the situation.

All the people under him have told him about Mr. Zhao's entry into the hospital just now.

Seeing more and more people downstairs, Hua Qiong didn't intend to leave or give in, everyone said that he could sell leather to people in other towns, and he wanted to do business here, so he hurried get up and go down.

"Oh, Wang was just sizing leather, and he didn't notice the arrival of the distinguished guest. It's rude, please come in quickly, both of you."

Zhao Tingan greeted shopkeeper Wang, and was about to pull the donkey cart around behind the leather shop when Hua Qiong stopped him.

"Treasurer Wang, you don't understand the rules, you want to drive us away."

This Shopkeeper Wang wanted to go straight to the story of what his buddy was doing, but who knew it wasn't his instruction, it's impossible that there was no one to report the big commotion outside just now.

If I am dumb, it will be normal if people in Wang's shop make me look bad in the future.

"The people from your Wang's shop want to drive us away, and everyone will see it."

Master Wang raised his eyes and asked Zhao Ting'an, "I often deal with you, Master Zhao. I have never met her before. How dare I ask the Lord?"

Hua Qiong sneered in his heart, this shopkeeper Wang is really cunning, he doesn't want to apologize, but also brings the problem to himself.

Since you don't know me, it's easy to say.

"Mianzun, my surname is Hua. I was entrusted by Mr. Zhao to do business with Ting An of the Zhao family, and shopkeeper Wang. I have always heard that shopkeeper Wang is the most kind. Why are the people in my shop like this?"

"Excuse me?" Shopkeeper Wang sneered.

I can still be controlled by you, a little doll?
It doesn't matter if you are a female lord!
"Everyone heard the word entrustment. These two people have no evidence and no evidence, and they want to sell the goods of the Zhao family. How can I believe that you didn't secretly steal the goods of the Zhao family and sell them?"

Zhao Tingan was furious: "You!"

"If you dare to mess around in front of Wang's door again, don't blame me for reporting to the police!"
