The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 466 Trading (2)
Mrs. Han patted her head, feeling a little annoyed, "It's also my fault. When I went to Yanzhou last time, I ignored such an important matter. Then I will write to the Chai family now."

"You're just stupid."

Mrs. Han smiled awkwardly, "Ever since the birth of Brother Cheng, she has fallen into a habit of forgetting things. Not to mention that girl Mingxuan, she never thought of these things, and I didn't expect her to remind me .”

Mrs. Han hurried to write a letter, Xiao Maoyang was worried about the money of the academy.

On this day, Xiao Mingyu approached Han Ba ​​and asked, "How's the situation in the Xiao family's old house? Hasn't the Dongfu given the 20 taels of silver yet?"

"Miss doesn't know, Dong Fu has let go and paid 10 taels of silver. It is said that the remaining 10 taels will be paid in half a month." Han Ba ​​said.

Xiao Mingyu was puzzled, "What's going on? How did the old man do it? I think Dongfu's attitude is very firm, why did he let go all of a sudden?"

Han Ba ​​said: "The girl hasn't paid attention to the affairs of the Xiao family's old house these days, so she naturally doesn't know. Apart from mining, the Xiao family's west mansion and the east mansion have other businesses that are run together. These days, Mr. Xiao's other things They didn't even do it, they just kept adding to the obstacles for the East Mansion. Whenever the East Mansion decided to do business, the West Mansion would disrupt it and destroy the business. Whatever the East Mansion needed, the West Mansion would disclose it to its competitors first. And some time ago, the East Mansion They transported a batch of goods into Zhongzhou, but they were robbed and killed on the way. It is said that it was Mr. Xiao who revealed the route information, which caused heavy losses to the East Mansion."

Mr. Xiao is indeed cruel, and this is a big move to force Dongfu to submit.

Han Ba ​​continued: "The East Mansion couldn't resist and had to compromise. First, I gave [-], and bought Mr. Xiao a word not to interfere. In the next half month, we have to make up the remaining [-], otherwise Mr. Xiao Dongfu will not be spared."

Xiao Mingyu couldn't help admiring him, Mr. Xiao's method is really against the sky.Mr. Xiao was really ruthless enough, he didn't hesitate at all when he said that he was ruthless.Even if the East Mansion is also surnamed Xiao, even if doing so might completely ruin the foundation of the Xiao family, Mr. Xiao did not frown.It can be seen that the people who can do great things are all black-hearted people who can make up their minds at critical moments.

Han Ba ​​looked at Xiao Mingyu hesitantly.

Xiao Mingyu didn't understand why, "Is there anything else?"

Only then did Han Ba ​​say: "Old man Xiao came to talk to his wife, probably in the flower hall."

Xiao Mingyu was angry, "Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier."

"The girl wants to ask about the Xiao family's old house, and the subordinates must first tell the girl about those things, otherwise the subordinates will be negligent."

Xiao Mingyu didn't have time to argue with him, "Okay, go on your own. I'm going to the flower hall now."

Xiao Mingyu hurried to the flower hall, where Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Han were talking.Xiao Mingyu secretly hid behind the screen and eavesdropped, wanting to see why Mr. Xiao suddenly came to the city.

Han shi sat at the bottom with a low eyebrow, "I don't know why the old man is looking for his daughter-in-law."

Mr. Xiao held a teacup in his hand, and looked at Mrs. Han with a complicated expression, "Going to the banquet of Princess Fu'an, is it going well?"

Han said respectfully, "It went well."

"I heard that many people went that day, did you see the princess?" Mr. Xiao asked.

Han Shi nodded, "I did see it."

Mr. Xiao put down his teacup and said, "Fifth daughter-in-law, you are also a member of the Xiao family, that's right."

Han was surprised, "What does the old man mean by this? The daughter-in-law is naturally a member of the Xiao family."

Mr. Xiao nodded in satisfaction, "That's very good. Since you know this too, I don't think there is any need to say more. Since you have some friendship with Princess Fu'an and you can still see the princess, then you should find a chance Tell the concubine, can you give the Xiao family some more chances? The Xiao family has served the palace for hundreds of years. Don’t you think it’s a pity that the palace has abandoned the Xiao family like this? Our Xiao family doesn’t ask much, and we only hope that the palace can allow us to The family continues to mine minerals." After a pause, Mr. Xiao said directly: "My fifth daughter-in-law, to tell you the truth, the old man has found a new mine. Although the content is not high, as long as the palace is willing to give the Xiao family the formalities, allow Xiao family mining, our Xiao family will be able to stand up again sooner or later."

Han frowned, "Master, are you sure you found a new mine?"

"Presumptuous, I have been dealing with mines all my life, don't you even understand this?" Mr. Xiao still had doubts when he saw Mrs. Han, so he said, "I don't hide from you, this mine was discovered as early as the year before last, but I have been It didn’t move. It was planned to start this year, but so many things happened. It happened that the place where the mine is located is the industry of our West Mansion, and has nothing to do with the East Mansion. In this way, a lot of troubles have been avoided. Now there is a lack of procedures and manpower. The problem of manpower is easy to solve, but the formalities at the palace, the fifth daughter-in-law, need your help in this matter."

Han didn't agree immediately, but asked: "Did the old man send someone to go through the formalities? Don't the government give permission to our Xiao family?"

Mr. Xiao sighed, "Who says no, if the yamen is willing to handle the formalities for our Xiao family, why should I be so cheeky to beg you. Fifth daughter-in-law, you are also a member of the Xiao family, so you have to agree to this matter."

"The old man's words are serious. I am the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, so naturally I have no shirkable responsibility. It's just that I don't have many opportunities to meet the princess, and I don't know when I will meet next time. I'm afraid of worrying about the old man's business." Han carefully Said.

Mr. Xiao stroked his beard and laughed, "It's okay, as long as you have the heart, Fifth Daughter-in-law, and you can keep this matter in mind, I will be satisfied. Remember, as long as you have the opportunity to see Her Royal Highness, you must mention this matter to the princess. This matter is to strive for a turning point for the Xiao family. This is related to the future of hundreds of people in the Xiao family, you can't be careless, fifth daughter-in-law."

Han looked embarrassed, "Don't worry, old man, I will take this matter to heart."

"That's good. That's fine. I'm here today for this purpose. I won't stay any longer. I still have to go out to meet some old friends and get in touch with each other." Mr. Xiao said, stood up, and was about to say goodbye and leave go.

Mrs. Han hurriedly stood up and said, "Master, my daughter-in-law has one more thing I want to ask the master about."

Mr. Xiao looked at Mrs. Han suspiciously, and nodded, "Tell me, what exactly is it."

"It's about Mingxuan's marriage. Yanzhou is a few days away from Zhongzhou, so I want to ask the old man whether Mingxuan's marriage should be done in Xiao's old house or in Yanzhou."

Mr. Xiao glared, "Our Xiao family married a daughter, how can we go to Yanzhou to do it. It will be done in the old house of the Xiao family. This matter is settled like this."
