Chapter 231 The old lady

Mr. Fu said: "I may be able to help you."

Qin Lang was overjoyed when he heard this, clasped his fists and said, "Then there will be Mr. Lai Fu."

Mrs. Liu likes pearls and comes to the port to purchase every once in a while. Because the background is Banyuemen, Tongyuan Trading Company often has top-notch goods, so this is also a place she often visits. Before each visit, the old lady will ask someone to say hello in advance. This time the same is true. On the third day after Qin Lang and Mr. Fu met, Mrs. Liu made a special trip to Tongyuan Trading Company.

These days, Qin Lang returned to the inn on the way, but there was still no movement on the inn. The king of the sky should have made up his mind to treat the Da Yong mission with indifference, so that they could die and return without success.

Li Yifeng also thought of a way to save the country on the curve and searched for his old acquaintance in Mantian City. Unfortunately, no one dared to accept this. Before he knew it, the delegation had arrived in Mantian City for seven days, but still had not been summoned by Bian Beiliu.

The inn has sent the daily expense bill to the delegation today, which means that money will be collected from today. Li Yifeng was secretly anxious. Not to mention anything else, the daily expenses of the delegation alone are not a small amount. Although they bring a lot of money, they can support it for a while, but they can't support it for a lifetime. If there is no progress within a month, I'm afraid the court will not be able to wait in the first place.

But he had no choice but to wait now, after all, there was no other good way.

Qin Lang had already arrived in Qiyungang early in the morning to meet Mrs. Liu who went to Tongyuan Trading Company today to select pearls.

It was still early, and he drank tea at Mingxi Tea House near Tongyuan Trading Company. He Shankuo was sitting opposite him.

Qin Lang told He Shankuo about the situation on the delegation. He Shankuo smiled and said, "Of the Bian Beiliu is of course not in a hurry. Now it is Da Yong. General is not in a position to be in the foreign king's order. When Da Yong was granted the title of King of a different surname, he should consider the current situation."

Qin Lang said: "Bian takes the initiative, and Da Yong really doesn't have much bargaining chips to negotiate with him."

He Shankuo said: "If it's easy to talk, the Prime Minister will not recommend Li Yifeng to come."

Qin Lang thought to himself, Sang Jingtian also wanted to let him come here. This time, his mission was a hard work. It was because the chance of success that Sang Jingtian let him come here.

He Shankuo said: "Now all the kings of different surnames are watching the movements here. If the court does not handle it well, it may lead to a deviant heart and the collapse of the Great Yong is right in front of us."

Qin Lang said: "According to the address you mentioned, I met Wanqing. This woman has now brought her hair to practice. She kept claiming that she had never seen Bian Qianxun." I stared nearby for a few days, but I didn't find anything particularly abnormal. Maybe I couldn't find anything along this line."

He Shankuo smiled and said, "I really want to practice, why do you have to be in Huajie?"

Qin Lang said: "Does she want to train her mind in this way?"

"According to common sense, this behavior itself is very strange. She left before Bian Qianxun got married. If she really wanted to practice, how could Da Yong find a place to practice? Why did he have to come to Kitano to prove that her visit to Kitano was Bian Qianxun's arrangement. I checked her experience in Kitano. At the beginning, I did nothing. With her identity, I would definitely not be able to enter the palace. However, with Bian Qianxun's strength, there was no problem with the golden house hiding, but he just let his woman wander in the flower street."

Qin Lang nodded, and he also found this strange.

He Shankuo said: "Cultivation in Huajie is really a big deal."

Qin Lang whispered: "So you suspect there is a fraud? Do you think Bian Qianxun will just hide in the pleasure boat?"

He Shankuo said: "I have also been investigated, but I have not found Bian Qianxun. Did you find any abnormalities when you entered the pleasure boat?"

Qin Lang shook his head, closed his eyes and thought for a while, saying, "Maybe I should go there again."

Mrs. Liu arrived at Qiyungang at the time of September. Her carriage stopped directly in front of Tongyuan Trading. The warriors who came with her came first went in to report. Tongyuan Trading had already posted a notice of closing business. This morning, the warehouse would not receive any guests.

Mrs. Liu had a handsome and elegant face, and her behavior showed a sense of a noble lady. Mr. Fu came to the car to fight and said respectfully: "See Mrs. Liu."

Mrs. Liu smiled and waved her hand and said, "Mr. Fu, don't be too polite. What are some good things recently?"

Mr. Fu invited Mrs. Liu to go in and asked the waiter to take out the recently selected pearls in advance and place them one by one in the exhibition hall. The old lady admired them one by one. After looking around, she didn't like them very much. She shook her head and said, "The recent supply of goods from Tongyuan Trading Company is not enough."

Mr. Fu smiled and said, "The old lady has too high taste, so these vulgar things will naturally not attract you."

Mrs. Liu was a little disappointed: "I don't have the old man to like today, so I can only come over again someday."

Mr. Fu said: "Actually there is another treasure."

Mrs. Liu said, "Why don't you take it out quickly?"

Mr. Fu said: "That baby is not mine. The day before yesterday, a young man came to the store to sell it. The goods were really good, but the price was too high. I asked him to keep the goods in the store and we helped resell it. But he said he was unwilling to do anything and had to keep it himself, so he couldn't trust our store."

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "After saying this, Lao Zhen is a little looking forward to it. Where is he? Let him come."

Mr. Fu said, "I live not far away, just opposite the inn. If the old lady wants to meet her, I will invite her."

Mrs. Liu said: "I hope you won't let your old man down this time."

Mr. Fu smiled slightly and asked someone to invite Qin Lang.

Soon, Qin Lang, who received the news, rushed over with a ragged blue cloth package. Mr. Fu brought him to Mrs. Liu. After Qin Lang bowed, he opened the things. In fact, the goods were prepared in advance by Mr. Fu.

When you open the blue cloth package, there is a beautifully carved mahogany box. When you open the wooden box, you will uncover the soft cloth lining to reveal the true appearance of the pearl inside.

This is a black pearl, the size of a dumpling, round and flawless, pitch black all over, and a soft halo on the surface.

When Mrs. Liu saw this black pearl, her eyes lit up. After receiving Qin Lang's approval, she put on cotton gloves and held the black pearl in her palm.

Qin Lang laughed in his heart. This is the so-called pearl in his palm. He was afraid of falling off when he held it in his hand, and afraid of melting when he held it in his mouth. Looking at Mrs. Liu's expression, she probably rarely saw such black pearls in the past. Mrs. Liu should be an expert. After reading it over and over again, she carefully put the pearl back and took off her gloves: "Young Master, how much do you plan to transfer it?"

Qin Lang said: "This pearl was passed down from my ancestors. If I were not desperate, I wouldn't want to sell it. I have asked for the price in this market and I also have a reserve price in my mind. How much does the old lady plan to give it?"

Mrs. Liu said, "If you really want to sell it, I will give you two hundred taels of gold."

Qin Lang smiled and said, "Such a big black pearl is a priceless treasure. The old lady's bid cannot impress me."

Mr. Fu said: "Young Master Qin, you probably don't know the identity of your wife."

Mrs. Liu interrupted him with a smile and said, "Trading is something you like and I want to do. The price is not relationship or identity." After considering it, she continued, "At 400 taels, look at Kitano, there should be no one who pays a higher price than me."

Qin Lang said: "Old Madam, pearls are priceless. In fact, I can't take any money to buy this pearl, and I will give it to you."

Mrs. Liu had already heard some clues from his words and smiled indifferently: "If you don't make any contribution, you won't be able to take your things in vain if you don't offer the price."

Qin Lang took out the letter from Lu Buyao and submitted it respectfully.

Mrs. Liu took the letter with both hands and looked at Mr. Fu. She felt a little unhappy. I'm here to buy things, but you actually set up a bureau for me. I guess this is how I arranged for me to meet this young man.

Mr. Fu pretended to say, "Young Master Qin, what are you doing?"

After reading Lu Buyao's handwritten letter, Mrs. Liu was silent for a while and said, "I borrowed Mr. Fu's place to say a few words."

Mr. Fu invited the two of them to the flower hall and had someone serve fragrant tea, and then everyone retreated.

Mrs. Liu said, "It turns out that Mr. Qin is making a special trip to find me."

Qin Lang smiled and said, "Mr. Lu is my mentor, and he guided me to come and find the old lady."

Mrs. Liu sighed and said, "Lu Xiang is my benefactor. I owe him a favor, but I never ask about government affairs." She returned the letter to Qin Lang, obviously not planning to help.

Qin Lang still refused to give up and said, "Can the old lady arrange for me to meet the prince?"

Mrs. Liu said, "If the prince decides, it will be difficult to change. According to Lao Shi, you should go back quickly. Lao Shi asked him what he thought, and he said Kitano will never be an enemy of Dayong."

Qin Lang laughed in his heart, and he was still deceiving himself here. He had already made his own decisions and said he would not be an enemy of Da Yong?

Qin Lang said: "The old lady probably doesn't understand what I mean. The court promised not to blame the matter of independence."

Mrs. Liu said, "The prince can't swallow that. We handed Qianxun over to the court to show that we are sincere, but the court cannot even protect his safety. Qianxun is kind by nature and lovely husband and wife, how could he kill his wife? Now my poor grandson is not born and dies, but it is clearly to make our family lose the queen." When he said that, tears came down.

Qin Lang saw her and felt that Mrs. Liu was not like a disguise. Perhaps everything the Bian father and son did was hidden from her. Qin Lang said: "How could the Bian family be defeated? In fact, the little prince had already had blood outside." He also spoke nonsense.
