"Then go find someone from Wanjin Trading Company and ask about the situation?" Jiang Qingrong suggested.
He also hoped that Chang's dowry would be of some use.
"I'm not looking for it anywhere. The shopkeeper of Wanjin Trading Company didn't even see me. I used the name of the crown prince's aunt. These profiteers don't even give the North Prince's face. What can I do?" Chang cried.
Wanjin Trading Company is a giant private businessman who monopolizes the trade routes in the Western Regions...
Although the Western Regions surrendered to the Great Xia Dynasty, there were countless sand thieves hidden in the yellow sand, and the imperial court suppressed the bandits several times to no avail...
They hid when the imperial court came, and came out to snatch passing caravans as soon as the imperial court left.
No one can do business in the Western Regions...
The first time Wanjin Trading Company appeared...
They can allow merchants who join the trading house to safely follow the Western Region trade routes...
Therefore, in a word from Wanjin Trading Company, Chang's shop cannot receive a grain of Western spices.
Mrs. Chang was a person whose money was more important than her life. She suddenly lost her entire family and everything. She was so angry that she lost her bearings and burst into tears with annoyance.
"Madam, good news!" Grandma hurried in and said:
"Welcome to welcome the summer. The Crown Princess has taken over the Xie family's property. Please help her take care of it!"
"What?" Mrs. Chang raised her head in a daze, "The Xie family's property is mine now?"
"Yes, please help me take care of it." Grandma said.
Chang's great sadness turned to great joy. She immediately wiped away her tears and said with a bright smile, "I knew that Jiang Rong was my lucky star! The fortune teller said that I was destined to be rich and noble. It seems that the word "rich" means that I will be lucky today. It works!”
Jiang Qingrong was also very happy, "With the Xie family's property, you don't have to keep an eye on the three melons and two dates you had before. But you have to be more cautious. Concubine Xie has been in charge of the Xie family for decades, and she is not an easy person to deal with. Don't leave any clues." ...We can’t afford to offend Bei Wangfu!”
"Master, don't worry. I'm the best at this method. I'll keep her safe and my family won't find out the accounts!" Mrs. Chang assured her with confidence, patting her chest and rolling her eyes:
"The Wanjin Trading Company looks down on our Jiang family, so I don't believe they really dare to offend the Xie family. Yingxia, I want to tell you something..."
……
Bei Wangfu, Jinyuyuan.
Jiang Rong stood in the peony garden, holding a wooden ladle in his hand, watering the peonies.
"Huahua, let's see next, who is better, Concubine Zhao or the Chang family? I bet on Concubine Zhao. After all, she has been in charge of the Xie family for so many years, and she knows the twists and turns of the Xie family's industry best." Jiang Rong chuckled.
Concubine Zhao relinquishes her power so happily. Given Jiang Rong's understanding of her, there must be something wrong with her.
And her greedy aunt will definitely step into the pit.
The Xie family's industry was something Chang was unfamiliar with. But for Concubine Zhao, it was her home court.
At the right time and place, Concubine Zhao can take full advantage of it.
"Miss, Ying Xia is back. I have something to tell you." Jade came to inform.
Jiang Rong said calmly, "Let her come over."
Yingxia said with a sad face, "Second Miss, something happened to the Jiang family! Second Madam's business has been cheated..."
"What?" Jiang Rong looked shocked and applauded secretly in his heart.
There is such a good thing!
"That's right. That Wanjin Trading Company competed maliciously and bullied the weaker shops, which was very shameless..." Yingxia parroted what Chang taught her and said:
"The Second Madam would like to invite you to meet the shopkeeper of Wanjin Trading Company. I believe that if you come forward in person, Wanjin Trading Company will give the Bei Palace a face."
Jiang Rong understood the whole story and sneered in his heart.
If Wanjin Trading Company didn't give him face, wouldn't he become "angry" and vent his anger on her behalf, using his power to oppress others?
The second aunt's plan was really good.
"This Wanjin Trading Company is too much! Please don't worry, aunt. When the prince comes back, I will ask the prince to find them." Jiang Rong agreed, perfectly acting as a good niece who shares the same hatred for her aunt:
"If the other party is afraid of the Northern Palace, someone who can really make the decision will have to come forward. If I come forward now, I'm afraid it won't work."
Ying Xia was convinced, "I will report back to the Second Madam right now."
Jiang Rong scooped up another spoonful of water and poured it on the gorgeous peonies.
Tsk, God is really helping me...
Now her aunt should be even more anxious to take out money from the Xie family's property...
……
In mid-March, Xie Lingxi and his party passed through Qingzhou and stayed here.
"Young Master, the Qingzhou magistrate learned that you are here and hosted a banquet in honor of you." Xiao Nanxing reported.
As the eldest son of the Northern Palace, Xie Lingxi was greeted by local officials along the way.
Xie Lingxi had just put on a black robe and a mask engraved with the mysterious totems of the Western Regions, and her voice had become completely unfamiliar and cold:
"You handle it yourself."
"Yes." Xiao Nanxing accepted the order and asked for a key question:
"When will the young master send a letter to the Crown Princess? We will arrive in Ningshan tomorrow. It may not be convenient to reveal your whereabouts later."
Because Xie Lingxi would pretend to be in Ningshan and actually go to Lingzhou to trade with the Xihai Gang...
Xie Lingxi stiffened for a moment. He had no idea how to write a letter to Jiang Rong...
"Before tomorrow, find ten love letters and let me read them."
Xiao Nanxing clasped his fists: "Yes! My subordinates will definitely handle it for you!"
A quarter of an hour later.
Qingzhou, a teahouse owned by Wanjin Trading Company.
The teahouse is closed to the public today.
But at this time, in the teahouse with the door closed, there was a sumptuous array of refreshments.
There is also a tea master who owns a tea house and burns incense to make tea by hand.
In the empty teahouse, the servants had already been dismissed. Only a middle-aged man was waiting quietly. When he saw the masked man walking in, he immediately greeted him respectfully:
"My subordinates pay homage to the young master. Please be safe, young master."
As everyone knows, Wanjin Trading Company has eight shopkeepers, headed by the big shopkeeper. But few people know that the Wanjin Trading Company actually belongs to a mysterious young man wearing a mask.
Xie Lingxi sat down at the teahouse and said calmly, "Liu Li Jade Lord, are you ready?"
"Please take a look, Sir. The Liuli Jade Lord was the national treasure of the Liuli Kingdom, the largest country in the Western Regions hundreds of years ago. It was lost among the people when Liuli destroyed the country. It is said that there is a treasure map hidden inside. Who can unlock it? If you keep the secret, you can get the treasure of the Liuli Kingdom. The reward for such a priceless treasure on the black market is far better than that of Hanquan Orchid."
The chief shopkeeper opened a brocade box on the table and presented it to Xie Lingxi:
"The Xihai Gang is so greedy that they dare to exchange this with the Young Master."
This is the content of the transaction between Wanjin Trading Company and the Xihai Gang.
The glazed jade statue is replaced by the cold spring orchid.
Xie Lingxi's gaze fell on the Glazed Jade Lord, with no ripples of indifference.
He was not interested in rumors about treasures. No matter how valuable this thing was, if it could be exchanged for life-saving medicine, it would be great.
"Everyone gets what they need, it's a very good deal." Xie Lingxi said calmly.
The big shopkeeper immediately changed his tone, "As long as the young master can get what he wants in exchange for it, that's his luck! Our deal with the Xihai Gang is scheduled for Lingzhou in three days. Young Master, do you need your subordinates to take action in person?"
"No, I'll go there myself." Xie Lingxi said.
The big shopkeeper was even more confused. The young master spared no effort in exchange for the miracle medicine, and even took action himself...
Who is this medicine for?
