Huo Xi handed over the "Form of Surrender", but before it was announced to the health center, she put the matter aside.
This incident made everyone upset. Guangfeng Shui had tried his best, but he had no control over the final outcome.
"Is the cloth still being collected?"
"They are still being sent back," Shen Qianzhong replied.
"Xi'er, we only take care of the health clinic. We have enough goods. If we collect more, if there is a hoarding and we can't sell it, all our money will be tied up in the goods. And..."
Yang Fu didn't dare to say it for fear of affecting Huo Xi's mood.
Huo Xi knew what he was going to say.
It is simply because they are afraid that the Guangfeng Water Contracting Company will fail, and they have collected so much fabric that there will be a backlog.
Huo Xi is not that worried. She is 50% sure about this contract.
She still has confidence in the tender document she made.
Taking a step back, if the goods are not selected, the fabric will not cause a big backlog. First, there are customers waiting to buy the goods they purchased, but now they have to explain to them that they will be shipped later.
As long as you are not selected, small merchants, vendors, and shipping companies will still come to get the goods. In addition, don’t the selected merchants not need the goods? There are probably not many merchants with as many linen and cotton as her family.
"It's okay, it won't be backlogged for too long." Huo Xi comforted them.
Seeing that she knew what she was thinking, Shen Qianzhong and Yang Fu put the matter aside and focused on the new shop.
At the gate of the Imperial College, Li Yikaner was sitting on the carriage shaft waiting for the young master to leave school.
"Master Silverbait really likes to eat it. It's been several days since he finished eating it. Do you think I should go find Mrs. Huo and buy some more from her?"
"Do you think that whitebait is available every day?"
"Even if it is not available every day, then her family's fishermen still lack fresh river fish? Isn't this the time when river fresh food is plump in spring?"
"Are you greedy? And you want to involve the young master."
"Of course I'm greedy too, but the young master's appetite has increased during this period. Isn't it just what he wants?" When he didn't get a response from Li Yi, Kan Er secretly thought about going to Huo Xi to buy one someday.
The Imperial Academy has finished school, and a group of students are walking out of the gate one after another.
"Master Mu." A beautiful woman stopped Mu Yan.
Mu Yan glanced at her lightly and ignored her at first, but thinking that he was Xu Sanbao's sister, he stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xu Miaoyuan glanced at him shyly, her heart pounding like a deer.
He reached out towards the maid behind him and took the basket from her hand: "These are some snacks made by my little girl. I heard from my brother that you don't have a good appetite. These snacks are all appetizers..."
"Thank you very much. I don't have to worry about Miss Xu, I have a cook in my house to take care of it."
He moved away and walked towards his carriage.
Xu Miaoyuan looked a little embarrassed, but refused to give up. He gritted his teeth and motioned to the maid beside him.
The maid then quickly caught up with the basket, not daring to push it to Mu Yan, who was as cold as a refrigerator. She quickly pushed it to Kan Er, then turned and ran away.
"Hey, come back!"
Kan Er was staring blankly at the young master talking to the woman at the door, but before he could recover, he was filled with stuff.
"Miss, Mr. Mu didn't throw out the basket."
The maid covered the car curtain and patted her beating heart. It was really scary. Mr. Mu had such a stern face that it could give someone frostbite.
Xu Miaoyuan stirred the handkerchief in his hand, and his mind wandered a few times.
As a concubine, she was afraid that she would not be able to compete with other princes and nobles in the capital. Mu Yan's status was just right. And he was so good-looking. Xu Miaoyuan's face felt a little hot when she thought of Mu Yan's appearance.
"Hey, Third Sister, are you coming to pick me up?" Xu Sanbao looked at his carriage and lifted the curtain.
Xu Miaoyuan came back to her senses and smiled at him: "Well, I went shopping and just returned home, so I stopped by to pick you up."
Upon hearing this, Xu Sanbao lifted his legs and got on the carriage, and the carriage started.
Another carriage was also moving forward.
In the carriage, Mu Yan was closing his eyes and concentrating. Kan Er opened the lid of the basket and said, "Wow, these are flower cakes. They are beautifully made and look appetizing. Master, do you want to eat one?"
"Thank you."
"Ah? Master, don't you want to eat?"
There was no response in the carriage.
Kan Er looked at the flower cake in the basket, licked his lips, and picked up a piece: "It's really exquisitely made. I wonder how it tastes."
He turned around and glanced at the carriage. He didn't hear any movement, so he stuffed the cookie into his mouth and said, "It's delicious. It tastes pretty good."
Then he handed it to Li Yi, who didn't like eating these sweet snacks and turned his head away.
Kan Er ate several pieces in a row and started to gossip. He Liyi whispered: "Do you think that girl from the Yongkang Hou family has a crush on our young master? She is a Yemeni rival of our young master."
"How is it that we are well-matched? That Miss Xu San is a concubine."
"A concubine... her status is indeed a bit poor. But his wife, Mrs. Hou, only gave birth to three sons, and the first two were still young. I heard that Miss Xu San was brought to Mrs. Hou to raise her since she was a child, and that with the direct descendants
Women are no different."
"A concubine is a concubine, and a direct descendant is a direct descendant. There is no difference." Li Yi felt that Miss Xu San was not worthy of his young master.
"But Marquis Yongkang has gained your Majesty's trust in recent years. Isn't this a help to the young master?"
Suddenly, he heard a bang and something was ejected against the wall of the car. Kan Er was so frightened that he shut up quickly and didn't even dare to eat the flower cake.
Li Yi glared at him, look, is the young master angry?
So how can Miss Xu San be worthy of the young master? Besides, does the young master need to rely on his in-laws to get the position? If it weren't for the car door blocking it, your head would probably be blown.
Kan Er shrank his neck.
After a while, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes and asked inside the carriage: "Master, do you think there are any more whitebait at the Huo family's house? Do you want me to go find her and buy some?"
After listening for a long time, but there was no sound, Kan Er happily raised his voice: "Okay, I know, I will go find her tomorrow."
In the carriage, Mu Yan opened his eyes. Silver fish?
Taste, not bad.
In Yongkang Hou's Mansion, as soon as Xu Miaoyuan returned to her courtyard, the wet nurse Qi asked anxiously: "How is it? Have you sent it out?"
Xu Miaoyuan sat down on the couch with a worried look on her face: "I sent it away, but he didn't even look at me with a straight face."
"Just send it out. As long as you persist, girl, there is nothing you can't do. Girl, you are so good-looking, how many men can stop you? It will fall into place naturally."
"But I'm just a concubine."
"He is still just the son of the previous Marquis. The Xiping Marquis Mansion has split the family, and he is just a side branch."
"Then nanny, you still asked me to find him!"
"My good girl, but his status is special. Although he was adopted, the current Marquis of Xiping and his wife are his biological parents. Shouldn't he compensate for it when he gets married in the future?"
"Besides, if you get married, girl, and you don't have father-in-law, mother-in-law, and aunts and uncles, you won't have the final say in the whole house? Then the wife of Duke Dingguo will still be his aunt. When Dingguo is fair, take more care of him.
, will he be able to make a difference in the future? If you are slow in taking action, it will not be your turn."
When the time came, she was arranged by the madam, just like the other two girls, just to pave the way for the prince.
Grandma Qi spoke earnestly to Xu Miaoyuan, and Xu Miaoyuan listened.
