Farm Gate Business Tycoon

Chapter 47: Jacaranda (1)
He is now in his seventies, his eyes are failing, and he can't read clearly, so most of the time, the memorials are read to him by others.

And the person who read the memorial to him most often was Murong Yu.

After a long time, he said, "What do you think?"

Murong Yu pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "According to the information that the third uncle has sent back in the past few years, the ninth prince Yixiong is a reckless man, and the thirteenth prince is more gloomy, and neither of them is a suitable support object."

"Then who do you think we should support better?"

"Second prince!"

"Don't you think he's too cowardly?"

"Cowardly people have the benefits of being weak, and cowardly people especially cherish their lives!"

Murong Ning lowered his eyes, thought for a long time, and then said: "Help me write a secret letter to the emperor."

"Yes!" Murong Yu agreed, sat down opposite to his grandfather, took a blank notebook, grabbed a brush, and began to write the memorial seriously.

Murong Ning suddenly said: "The Empress Dowager summoned me today, and she was furious."

"Really?" Murong Yu replied nonchalantly. This kind of thing was expected by him. Fang Yu was a worthless person, and he would complain to the Queen Mother whenever something happened.

Murong Ning said annoyedly: "If it doesn't work, let's settle it once and for all, and people will owe us favors. It's always endless. If you don't bother me, I'll be annoyed. If there's nothing wrong, let that bitch scold me. If you don’t look good on your face, you have to be punished too.”

Murong Yu asked without raising his head, "What does grandfather want to punish me this time?"

"What else can I punish you for? Kneel in the front hall for a night, and let someone spread the word. I have to give that person some face."

Murong Yu let out an "oh", indicating that he knew.

Murong Ning was silent for a while and then said, "I heard that Fang Yu was seriously injured this time, and he may not be able to heal after a year or so, and it doesn't matter what you do."

Murong Yu said: "I didn't hit it at all, I was the one who took the blame. The girl who ran to Murong Villa and robbed the girl was the one who beat her."

Murong Ning couldn't help but stood there stunned, "You mean... Fang Yu was beaten by a girl?"

"Hmm!" Murong Yu truthfully told what happened that day. "When Fang Yu's accident happened, no one in the Marquis of Xileng knew about it. Only a few guards under me saw it, so he recognized it."

Murong Ning nodded slowly, "You are right, if you can't even protect the people on our land, you will lose the hearts of the people!"

Murong Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Speaking of which, the girl who was robbed has some relationship with us, she is Gu Qingtang's younger sister."

"Oh?" Murong Ning was surprised when he heard this. "yes?"

Murong Yu nodded, "Didn't my grandfather say that Gu Qingtang's grandfather once saved your life on the battlefield? Now that I have saved his sister, I have repaid his favor."

Within two days, Mrs. Fang, who looked like a flower seller, came to her, "Girl!" This Mrs. Fang is no longer the aggressive look she was trying to trouble Gu Qingmei back then. When she saw Gu Qingmei, she laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. "I'm here to buy some flowers for you."

Gu Qingmei couldn't help laughing and said: "Auntie, seeing how happy you are, the flower pattern I gave you last time must have sold well."

"Yes, girl, thanks to you." Mrs. Fang smiled like a chrysanthemum. "Those fancy dresses are almost sold out. I'll go to Zheng's House to go to the market tomorrow. You can sell me some more."

Seeing that there was a business coming, Gu Qingmei quickly let her into her room, and asked her to sit down with a smile, "Auntie, please sit down, I wonder how fancy you want this time?"

The woman covered her mouth, giggled loudly and said: "Girl, we have to talk about the ugly things in front of us. I'm going to play tricks with you, and you can't be considered expensive for me. The tricks I used to go forward are all Two dollars a piece, I sell it for five dollars, and one piece can make three big bucks."

Gu Qingmei said: "Auntie, you are an expert, and you have also seen that my flowers sell better than those you buy from others. Moreover, my cost is high, and other people's flowers only cost four or five pennies a piece. It may even be cheaper. But my style, the capital alone is one big money and eight small money, and I don’t earn more from you. For one flower shape, I will give you two big money and five small money, and only earn you seven It's a small penny. But when you go out to sell it, the price must be tight, and it must not be lower than five pennies. I won't be able to sell it in the next market."

Her account was actually an extra five small coins in it. Anyway, she was sure that this woman would not have the capital to be willing to print it herself, so it was impossible to know her real capital.

"All right, all right, I understand!" This woman has been in this business for a long time, and she knows the key points inside, and she knows that what she said is not false, and she has calculated the account very clearly.

"And there is..." Gu Qingmei said again. "At this price, I can't give you a ring."

"This..." The woman had already tasted the sweetness, and she couldn't help being a little anxious when she heard that she couldn't give the ring. "Girl, you can't favor one person over another in business, so why do other people have rings? I don't have any here?"

Gu Qingmei said: "Auntie, I spent money to order those rings in the silver shop. I sell five yuan for a set of fancy shapes, and I can make money so I can afford to give them away. But for your business, I sell them You have a set of tricks, one hundred sheets, but only earn you seventy big bucks, I really can’t get along. At most, you buy a hundred sets of tricks with me, and I’ll give you twenty rings.”

Gu Qingmei didn't say anything dead, and gave way a step.

The woman counted with her fingers for a long time, then quickly shook her head, "No, no, if I enter a hundred sets of tricks with you, it will cost 25 taels of silver. I can't afford to enter, and I can enter up to ten sets."

"Come on!" Gu Qingmei sighed and said embarrassingly. "Who told us that we are destined? We don't know each other today. If you buy me ten sets, I'll give you two rings?"

"Two rings are too few." The woman hurriedly used her articulate ability to chat with Gu Qingmei.

Gu Qingmei was also an experienced person in the past, and she was very good at bargaining. She refused to agree to the woman's request until the end, and finally gave her two rings to three rings.

Then, after Gu Qingmei settled the accounts, she sighed and said, "Auntie, I lost a lot in your business. I only earned you five hundred dollars for a thousand flowers."

The woman seemed to have gotten a huge advantage, she smiled so much that the corners of her mouth almost reached her ears, she put the flower pattern that Gu Qingmei gave her into the bamboo basket where she placed the flower shape, and carefully put the flower pattern that Gu Qingmei gave her. Putting the silver ring into the purse, he left contentedly.
