pungent peasant girl

Chapter 307
"What's Concubine Yang's attitude?"

"At the beginning, Concubine Yang was very angry and scolded the concubine, but the concubine obediently admitted her mistake and told her that she could continue to cooperate. She said she didn't want to, and the concubine said that the queen's seat had been vacant for many years , so, it is feasible to know that Concubine Yang is tempted again."

Mo Yan hummed and smiled, "Mr. is still right. People, there is nothing unrealistic. In the face of power and status, no one can resist."

"No, our prince is also wise."

"Hehe, Luo Ziyan, Mo Yun, Concubine Yue, hehe, they are one by one, and no one can become a stumbling block for this king."

"That's right, the throne will belong to the prince sooner or later. It's just the prince, I don't know what the prince is going to do next."

"What else can we do? Since we can't fight openly, we can also fight secretly."

As expected by a thousand words.

The next day, Chen Jingshi really came to the door.

He said it was because he ate here yesterday, and he was very sorry, and brought some rare things from outside the customs.

Of course, Meng Qianyan would not let go of every good opportunity, she lied that her legs and feet were inconvenient, and she stayed in the house and did not go out.He delegated all the tasks of entertaining guests to Luo Ziting.

I don't know what will happen to Chen Jingshi and Luo Ziting.

Meng Qianyan was also very disturbed.

To pass the time, Dong'er and Luoying were asked to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones for her.

I haven't been in the palace for a few days, and I should go to the palace tomorrow to see my father. If I'm idle, I'm still idle. Why don't I draw a few more pictures and ask Yuyifang to make them and send them over.

She drew the drawings seriously.

Luoying and Dong'er watched from the side.

Luoying's curiosity arose, and she couldn't help asking questions.

Meng Qianyan explained to the two of them, telling them that if they have good ideas, they can tell her, and then draw them, and go to the tailor to make them and give them to them.

Luoying and Dong'er were very happy, imitating Meng Qianyan's appearance in drawing, very careful and meticulous.

So much so that the knock on the door rang twice before Luo Ying stood up in shock, "Who is it?"

He opened the door, and there was a middle-aged man standing outside.

Dong'er recognized it, "Young madam, it's the shopkeeper of the silk shop, shopkeeper Wang's."

Hearing the sound, Meng Qianyan hurriedly put down his pen and ink, and came out to greet him, "It's from Shopkeeper Wang."

"Grassmen see the princess."

"Excuse me, excuse me, why is Shopkeeper Wang here? Is there something wrong?"

She has only been to the silk shop once, and she doesn't know much about the details of the business there.

But shopkeeper Wang suddenly came here to look for her, which is really not quite right.

Shopkeeper Wang's face was not very good-looking either, "Princess, actually, the second master sent someone here to look for you. The second master originally wanted to discuss with the second young master, but the second young master has been in the palace all the time, so it is inconvenient. The second master is in a hurry. So here it is."

"Is it from the silk business?"

"That's right, our silk shop has been here in the capital. Although the business is tepid, it's doing well, especially with the garment shop behind it. The sales volume of this silk shop's ready-made clothes and silk has been steadily increasing. But recently In two days, business suddenly plummeted."

Meng Qianyan couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.

It is normal for business to have ups and downs, but it is not normal to suddenly plummet.

"Where is Second Uncle now?"

"It's in the silk shop."

"Okay, I'll go with you to have a look. Oh, by the way, my legs and feet are not very comfortable now, you bring the carriage in through the back door."

"Okay, the younger one will go."

Luo Ying and Dong'er also hurriedly changed Meng Qianyan's clothes, and then followed Meng Qianyan into the carriage.

After getting off the carriage, Meng Qianyan was sure that Luo Ziting would not see him, so he tore off the gauze on his ankles, and quickly walked into the silk shop.

The Weiluo silk shop was empty at this time, with all kinds of cloth and ready-made clothes neatly arranged, and there was no trace of being tampered with at all.

"Qianyan, you are here!"

Luo Zhenxun was pushed and pushed in front of Meng Qianyan.

"Second Uncle, what's going on?"

"Alas—" Luo Zhenxun sighed, "Someone is deliberately dealing with us."

"Who?"

Luo Zhenxun looked out the window, "Look, the business of those silk shops outside is much better than before, right?"

Meng Qianyan glanced over, indeed, there were always customers coming and going in front of those shops.

"Second uncle, why is their business so good?"

"They lowered the price."

"Drop the price?"

"Yeah, the person I sent out just came back and told me." Luo Zhenxun said: "Actually, since the day before yesterday, the business of our silk shop has not been right, and there are obviously many fewer customers. But I thought at that time It's normal, but it turned out that there were a lot fewer yesterday, and today, there is not even a single customer, I was careless."

"Then how much lower are their prices?"

"Thirty percent, today is thirty percent."

"Thirty percent—" Meng Qianyan murmured, "In that case, wouldn't it mean that you won't make money?"

Most of the silk is produced in the south, and it is transported from the south, then opened a shop to sell it, and then hires people to do things. These are all costs.

Luo Zhenxun nodded, "That's right, if you lower the price by [-]%, you will have almost no money to make. Now, those people on the opposite side are selling at such a low price. This is really strange. So, I haven't lowered the price yet, My name is Shopkeeper Wang, and I brought you here to see if you have any good ideas."

Meng Qianyan thought for a while, and then looked at the signs of the shops selling silk outside.

Yunhai silk, silk and satin industry in southern Yunnan, Pringles cloth art.

"Second uncle, are you familiar with these shops? Do you know them all?"

"I'm not very familiar with them, but I know them well. To do business, you have to keep in touch with people, so they can be regarded as nodding acquaintances. I have also deliberately paid attention to their backgrounds. They are all business from people in the capital."

"Then before they lowered the price, didn't they have any signs?"

Luo Zhenxun shook his head, "That's really not the case. In short, it's just a sudden price drop, and it seems to be negotiated to deal with us together."

"Then I understand."

"Then Qianyan, in your opinion, should we also lower the price?"

"Okay, let's cut the price by [-]% and see how they react."

Luo Zhenxun heard the sound and called shopkeeper Wang over, "You heard it all, we also cut the price by [-]% and spread the news."

"Yes, little one understands."

Meng Qianyan continued: "In addition, we use all our housekeeping skills to attract customers. If it is purely a business competition, they may not be able to compete with us."

Shopkeeper Wang and his subordinates went to work immediately.

Meng Qianyan didn't leave, but stayed on the second floor of Weiluo Silk Store, paying attention to the business below.

The Luo family has been in the silk business for more than 100 years.

These shops in the capital may not have their experience.
