Chapter 687: Yan Xiaoer, the Fox Taking Advantage of the Tiger
With Gan Ye following her, Yan Yu could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
With such a powerful helper, it would be a waste to just go around from the side.
With such strong strength, of course he would just rush in!
She borrowed the servants of the palace to deliver the letter, and gathered everyone together, and talked about the grain purchase directly.
She and Gan Ye, one was warm and amiable with childish words, and the other was pretentious and taciturn, and the red and white co-operation was wonderful. People of noble status like the King of England usually cherish their feathers and will not lower their status to compete with the people for profits. But if they really did it, the scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, even if these big grain merchants have backgrounds and support behind them, would have to weigh it in their hearts. In the King of England's fiefdom, in the land of Guanzhou, do they have the courage to say no to the King of England who has just destroyed the Northern Rong and fought for Leshan.
Wang Deshan left first.
After that, it was all Yan Yu's time to perform.
The smile on the round face faded, the chin was slightly raised, the eyelids drooped, and the teacup in the hand was placed on the table with a crisp sound.
"Before coming, my father specifically told me to ask you when you will return by water or land? If it is the latter, you must pass through Leshan Prefecture. Leshan is full of banditry and it is not easy to travel. My father is worried about your safety and said that he will send troops to escort you. Although Leshan has been under the jurisdiction of our prince, there has been no clear order after all. It is not easy for us to openly protect the border troops. But it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of changing clothes."
She paused and gave the people present time to understand.
Then he slowly said, "If we go by water, it will be even better. We may be able to travel together for a longer time. The princess has been married to Guanzhou for several months. She is diligent, filial and respectful. The prince is very satisfied. He is planning to send someone to the south to pay tribute to the princess's family. The scenery of the south is very attractive. If you can accompany us to the south, please take good care of us along the way!"
No matter how we go, by water or land, we will be under our noses anyway.
Mountain bandits are rampant, and the border troops have to change clothes...
Just tell me if it's scary? !
If they really take off their clothes, whether they are human or ghost, it's up to them!
The four words "take good care of you" were read so ups and downs, with a light tone and a strange voice, which made people feel a chill on their necks.
Yan Yu did it on purpose. Not only did she use the prince's power to suppress them, but she also used mountain bandits to scare them.
How about it? I just want to ask if you feel our determination to buy grain?
As it turns out, they felt it.
As soon as they returned, they took their respective account offices to Huju.
They also asked their clerks to transport all the grain stored in Yongning Gufeng to Xiaoan Village.
It should be said that these grain merchants are really well-informed.
They even know that Xiaoan Village is the place where the goods are delivered.
…
Eunuch Wang was waiting at the corner of the street.
When Yan Yu got on the carriage, the driver whipped the horse, the horse kicked and walked, and then trotted regularly.
"What did you say?" Eunuch Wang was very curious.
Yan Yu laughed and learned everything she said, the tone she used, and the little eyes she gave.
Eunuch Wang laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were dense and full of kindness and love.
Pointing at her, he kept saying: "You, you, you little clever ghost!"
This is clearly him, no, it's the eunuchs in the palace who are speaking in a tone, and Wang Deshan couldn't be more familiar with it.
People like them, with incomplete bodies, care most about being looked down upon, and they are afraid of their superiors and bully their subordinates. If they have a job and can take advantage of what others care about, they will be even more aggressive.
This time, the waiter really learned to act like a fox pretending to be powerful.
After changing his clothes and putting them in the palace, he looked like a clever little eunuch.
Needless to say, who he learned from.
But Wang Gonggong amused him, and he laughed all the way, stroking his chest from time to time, and almost laughed himself out of breath.
…
The Wang Mansion really left a meal for him.
Although the meeting was arranged in the restaurant, Yan Yu didn't eat a bite.
The grandfather and grandson were in their own yard, with the door closed, and no one saw them.
But Yan Yu was very comfortable, swinging her two little arms and eating voraciously.
In the morning, because her godfather said he would take the little son back to the village, she was embarrassed to eat a few bites less.
"Grandpa, is the prince really going to send someone to send gifts to the prince's wife's family?"
Why do people like to get close to their superiors? This kind of gossip, which is not heard outside, is just gossip for the grandson and grandson at the dinner table.
Eunuch Wang: "The prince's wife married far away, it is not easy to visit her parents, and the journey is not very peaceful, so the prince wants to send someone south to send some Guanzhou local products to express his feelings."
"Didn't the prince's wife send gifts once?" Yan Yu, who had worked as an accountant in the mansion, knew it.
"The prince's wife's gift is from the prince's wife, and our prince's gift is from the prince, how can it be the same." Eunuch Wang handed a scallion pancake to his grandson.
Yan Yu took it, bit it, shook his head, and ate it with his little mouth.
Took a sip of soup, thought the scallion pancake tasted a little bland, poked it into the sauce bowl twice, repeated the previous action, shook his head and took a bite.
Eating helps thinking.
Yan Yu had an idea.
"Is the prince thinking about the return gift from the prince's wife's family? The Wei family is so rich! The prince's wife's private vault, my God, it's so dazzling. Last time I was lucky enough to see a corner, it almost blinded me!" Yan Yu's eyes were shining, and she sighed.
Eunuch Wang gently tapped her forehead: "You say everything, you say everything, eating cakes can't stop your little mouth."
Yan Yu laughed, this tap didn't hurt, the uncle loves her.
"What do we have in Guanzhou? Leather, mountain products, and ginseng. The Crown Princess bought ginseng from me last time, and she didn't even bargain. She was so generous!" Yan Yu asked again: "What does the prince want to give? If you need ginseng, I'll get you a few. I guarantee the price will be fair, so the prince won't buy it at a high price."
"You little money-grubber, you still want to make money from our prince!" Eunuch Wang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The prince was so poor, and you were still thinking about him?
As if she knew what her godfather was thinking, Yan Yu said righteously: "The prince is the prince! He is rich in two mansions, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the prince is... unhappy, just a little bit of it will be enough for our family to make a fortune!"
Eunuch Wang hurriedly said: "Don't think about it. Our prince can still be short of ginseng. Every year, the tribute ginseng, except for the emperor, our palace's ginseng is the first."
Ginseng is tributed from Guanzhou. In addition to honoring his parents, the King of England will definitely keep the best for himself.
Why should I give those cheap brothers a discount?
Yan Yu had almost finished eating, so he stopped talking about the gossip in the palace for now.
As soon as the table was cleared, a servant came to report.
There were two cars parked at the small gate, saying that they were delivering something to the waiter.
Yan Yu hurriedly said, "Uncle, it's someone from our village, and they brought me fish."
Eunuch Wang was puzzled. Why would they send fish to the palace during this non-holiday season? And they parked outside and didn't come in.
"My master owes a lot of money to the adults. We just made a deal and exchanged some grain for some silver. My father hurriedly asked me to go to each family's house. Our trade fair was very successful. Those adults must have heard it. It would be bad if I didn't say anything. My father was too busy to have time, so he asked me to go to each family and explain the situation to them. It's not that I don't want to pay back the money, but that I exchanged a lot of grain and not enough silver. Seeing that we are in a good position, I want to ask them to be more lenient. I can't come empty-handed, so I thought of asking the villagers to catch some river fish..." Yan Yu explained.
Someone came to my house and left late, so there was not enough time to write. Today, there is only one update, no make-up update~(*^▽^*)~
