Chapter 652: Sending Sons

Su Yueling wasn't too worried about Yuan Suifeng. Apart from being in the military camp, he either stayed at home or at most only went to the houses of close friends who knew everything about him.

If you want to calculate Sui Feng... it's not that difficult.

As for Baoshu, she is usually cautious and cautious, but she handles a lot of Su Yueling's work, which means she has to go out often, which can easily lead to loopholes.

Well, in the past few years, more secret guards should be arranged around Baoshu. She can also select a few people with good martial arts skills from the White Lotus Sect to stay with Baoshu as maids.

Mrs. Pang saw Su Yueling's expression and comforted her, "I'm just reminding you that they may not have the guts to plot against you."

Su Yueling would not think of salt merchants as being too clever - capitalists can do anything as long as they have enough profits hanging in front of them.

In front of Mrs. Pang, Su Yueling did not show her thoughts, but gave her a bottle of tulip essential oil as a thank you gift when she left.

As the area of ​​roses and tulips in her farm expanded, Su Yueling had more and more essential oils in her hands. She kept the best ones for her own use, and gave some away as gifts. Only the most common ones were kept in the store.

It is sold here. But even the most common-grade essential oil can cost two hundred taels per bottle - and it is also difficult to grab. As the saying goes, rare things are more valuable, because not many people own high-end essential oils, and many powerful people in the capital

They all regard owning a bottle as a way to show off.

Speaking of which, Yu Xuan told her that there is an elder in the White Lotus Sect who is good at poison management. When the time comes, she can ask that elder to prepare some more medicine for Baoshu to take with her.

Su Yueling doesn't need to worry too much about this matter. With just one instruction, Yu Xuan will arrange it for her properly.

The medicine Su Yueling wanted was quickly delivered to her by the White Lotus Sect.

She handed the medicines to Yuan Baoshu and explained to her the effects of each medicine.

Drugs that make people unconscious immediately, drugs that make people itchy all over, drugs that make people vomit diarrhea...

Although it is not a poison that can kill people, it is enough to torment people.

As for poison, Su Yueling also has it here. But she feels that Baoshu is not very courageous. If he really had it, he would not dare to use it. Anyway, these medicines are enough to make people lose their ability to fight.

She also mentioned this to Baoshu, and Baoshu's expression became serious and said seriously: "I will be careful."

She will not let herself become a gap for others to plot against her brother and sister-in-law.



Just as Mrs. Pang said, as the Chinese New Year approaches, the Yuan family receives more and more invitations, including many unfamiliar names.

Aunt Zheng sorted it out for Su Yueling and found that several invitations were indeed from those big salt merchants.

After asking Su Yueling for instructions, all the invitations were ignored.

Some of the invitations were made of particularly thick paper. When Grandma Zheng checked them, she found that they contained ten thousand taels of silver notes of the largest denomination.

Using ten thousand taels of silver notes as a stepping stone, the salt merchant was indeed richer than she imagined.

All these invitations were returned, and Su Yueling really didn't lack the money.

Speaking of which, the Holy Spirit originally planned to go on a southern tour this year, and Huazhou itself was also a place that the southern tour passed through. However, due to the marriage of the prince of the Di tribe, the southern tour was postponed. Su Yueling estimated that he would have to wait until next year to go south.

Tour. With her status, if she wants to tour the south, she will definitely be on the list.

Next year is indeed a good time. According to what she learned, there will be one hundred copies of Haiyan's salt, but the bulk will be in the hands of the imperial court, and only ten copies will be released in the next two years.

As long as Su Yueling is willing, it can be said that it is very easy for her to get two copies of salt. But she is not short of money, is too lazy to get involved in this whirlpool, and has little interest in this matter.

Several salt merchants whose invitations were rejected were all sighing at home. In their eyes, if they wanted to get new salt, Princess Wei was undoubtedly the most capable person. After all, she was the one who came up with this salt drying method.

For this achievement, the emperor was willing to give her face.

In a five-story mansion in the capital, Qu Chengzhou, a large salt merchant in Huazhou, looked at the returned invitation with disappointment.

Except for Su Yueling, Cheng'en Duke's Palace and others were also rejected. They were also well-known figures in Huazhou, and they were honored guests even in front of the local prefect, but after arriving in the capital, they were nothing.

Those who are willing to give them face are some small and small households that they don't like at all.

It's just that he would not be willing to give up like this.

Although the amount of sea salt currently provided by the court is not large enough to threaten Chi Yan, that is because there is not enough time. It will only take another three years at the latest, and sea salt with better quality and cheaper price will completely replace Chi Yan.

.If they want to compete, they have to offer a lower price than sea salt, but in this case, the money their family can earn will be greatly reduced.

In the past, the Qu family could earn millions of taels of silver a year from selling salt and selling Chi salt privately. But if the price dropped to a lower price than sea salt, they would only earn a hundred thousand taels a year, which would not be enough to support them now.

Luxurious life.

It is difficult to switch from luxury to frugality, and they are unwilling to accept their fate like this.

Qu Chengzhou sighed again. He originally thought about sending the stunning adopted daughter he carefully cultivated as a stepping stone, but after asking about the tempers of Su Yueling and Yuan Suijun, he immediately gave up the idea.

He heard that the stunning beauty who had entered the Yuan family before could not even touch a corner of Yuan Suijun's clothes and could only serve Su Yueling. Su Yueling and Prince Rong had been married for many years and had only one daughter, but Prince Rong still did not dare

Accept two colors.

The most amazing thing is that Su Yueling would take the beauty and complain to the palace at the same time.

If he dares to give away a beauty, the person in front of him will be taken away, and the person in the back is afraid that the imperial edict will come down.

So how to open up this relationship?

He had heard that Su Yueling's sister-in-law and brother-in-law were not yet married, but one was a promising military champion, and the other was a county king conferred by the imperial court... Qu Chengzhou knew very well that the Qu family's family status would have to reach those of these two.

This is undoubtedly a dream, unless some dishonorable means are used privately. But it is not ordinary difficulty to calculate against them.

When he was struggling, his adopted daughter Qu Lin gave him an idea, "Father, Princess Wei is not short of money or people... She is perfect in every way, except for one thing."

"What flaw?" Qu Chengzhou never thought of Su Yueling's flaw. In his opinion, Su Yueling had already climbed to the highest position that a commoner woman could climb.

Qu Lin said: "Heir."

"She has worked hard for many years, but she has only one daughter. She must be more anxious than anyone else."

"We can send her son."

She didn't believe that she wasn't moved.
