Chapter 60: Taken advantage of

After Jun Ruoxu finished raising the cards, Sicheng from the Tea Horse Division couldn't help but look at Huo Xi.

Then he secretly glanced at the ambassador and sang: "The Jun family offers fifty-five yuan!"

Xunwu turned his head and glanced at Huo Xi. Seeing that she was calm, he also raised his sign. Sicheng then sang again: "Sixty coins!"

A group of tea merchants in the hall began to whisper among themselves.

This is the last batch of tea. It’s old tea, and it’s the worst of the worst teas. It’s unnecessary, isn’t it? If the Crown Prince’s wife doesn’t buy some tea to accompany her back, how dare the Teamaster dare to embarrass her? Will he not let her go?

Fifty dollars is too expensive for them, so why call it a price increase?

Unexpectedly, soon I heard Mrs. Jun and Mrs. Shizi asking for eighty yuan for tea!

There was a buzz everywhere.

This is not over yet, eighty-five! Ninety! Ninety-five!

It’s already ninety-five cents! Oh my God! Do you want to raise the price to one hundred cents? Doubling the price? Oh my God! Are you still asking for old and inferior tea? If you had asked the same price just now, the Tea Horse Company would have charged you a lot today.

Pen!

The ambassador of the Tea Horse Company was stared at by a group of tea merchants and secretly sweated. Could it be that this batch of bad tea was still good? Did they sell the good tea as bad tea?

He and his deputy secretly picked up a piece of tea cake and looked at it again and again...

There were still specks of mold on the surface. I sniffed it again and again, but it wasn't pungent. But this was a good mold tea. It was indeed moldy, so why did you charge a higher price?

"I am deeply grateful for Madam Shizi's determination to add good horses to the army. I cannot compare to..." the ambassador spoke.

The meaning is obvious, Madam Prince, this price is high enough, you can stop it. If you ask for more, they will be embarrassed to accept this money.

Huo Xi smiled and glanced at Xunwu. Xunwu understood and raised his sign...

"One hundred dollars!"

One hundred dollars! One hundred dollars! It’s really raised to one hundred dollars! It’s double the base price of 50 dollars set by Chama Si!

The tea merchants were so shocked that they all stood up from their seats and rushed forward to take a closer look at the tea cakes displayed in front of them.

Could it be that this is really a good thing? It is popular among the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital to drink this kind of tea with mold in it? Can it be sold at a high price?

I heard that the Crown Prince’s wife has a big ship to do overseas business. Could it be that Japanese and foreigners like this kind of tea?

Then should they buy some too?

Everyone was muttering in their hearts. Even the tea merchant, who had been too lazy to carry the tea cup just now, came forward to pick up the tea soup and looked at it again and again. Seeing that the tea soup was cold, he hurriedly asked the servant to make hot tea again.

The tea cake was visibly damp when held in my hand, and its surface was covered with golden mold particles. This was indeed moldy tea.

But I heard that the Crown Prince’s wife has a pair of golden hands. Could it be that these moldy teas can really make money?

Everyone was shocked and confused.

Those who are curious, but can't figure out the doorway inside, sigh that they can't make this money. Moreover, they don't dare to ask the prince's wife for the price. This has already been raised to 100 yuan. It seems that the prince's wife

I really want this batch of tea.

They don't dare to compete with the Crown Prince's wife for favors.

The tea merchants shook their heads and returned to their seats with sighs. They lamented that they had little knowledge. There was a treasure in front of them but they didn't recognize it. If the Jun family snatched this, they could still get a share of the pie and let the Jun family take some back for them to study.

But if the Crown Prince’s wife buys it, will they still have a share?

I feel regretful in my heart.

The ambassador and deputy ambassador of Tea Horse looked at each other, is this really a good thing? Or is the Crown Prince's wife helping them?

My heart was pounding.

He looked at Jun Ruoxu. While he was expecting him to make a bid, he didn't want to see him raise his placard. If this was really the tea that the Crown Prince wanted, then wouldn't this kid not have even the slightest hint of a wink?

Aren't you afraid of the prince's revenge?

Yi Balang also stared at the ambassador and deputy envoy, hating their lack of expression. Isn't this the hammer? Wait for the prince to replace everyone in the tea horse department? Go home and eat yourself?

Tsk tsk tsk.

Looking at Jun Ruoxu again, he realized that this young boy was so reckless that he dared to disturb Tai Sui! Is this because he had an aunt from the Duke's residence and a cousin of the eldest young master, so he dared to challenge the Crown Prince's wife?

Seeing Jun Ruoxu muttering with the manager, he said that he had no eyesight.

Jun Ruoxu, who had no eyesight, raised his sign again, "One hundred and five cents!"

One hundred and five cents! There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Everyone stared at Jun Ruoxu for a long time, and then all looked at Huo Xi. Will the Crown Prince’s wife still bid? This is already one hundred and five dollars!

Huo Xi smiled and congratulated Jun Ruoxu, "Then this batch of old tea will belong to the Jun family. On behalf of the imperial court and the soldiers on the front line, I would like to thank the Jun family for their generous donation and purchase a batch of good quality tea for the army."

Horses! My father and husband often lament that there are so few good horses in the army that the cavalry force in the north is insufficient. If our army has more good horses, the cavalry force can be greatly expanded and drive the people from the north to the depths of the grassland, just around the corner!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately reacted.

This is what Madam Prince means.

Not only does this wife’s husband serve in the army, her natal father is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army. No wonder she keeps raising the price. It turns out she wants to raise more money to buy more good horses for the army?

I thought this batch of old tea was a good treasure. How could they, the tea merchants, be as discerning as a young woman who just entered the tea field?

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The ambassador and deputy envoys of the Tea Horse Division also came to their senses and bowed to Huo Xi, "On behalf of the imperial court, I would like to thank Madam Prince for her devotion to the country and the people!"

I’m rich! I didn’t expect that a batch of old tea mold tea could be sold for one hundred and five yuan!

"The Jun family is interested."

All the tea merchants bowed their hands to Jun Ruoxu and said to the ambassador: "Next time the Tea Horse Company has middle-grade and bad tea to clear out, remember to remind me to wait and let us contribute to the army."

"Yes, yes, remember to remind us! Also do your little bit for me."

The ambassador and deputy ambassador were smiling and felt very happy.

I thought I asked my grandpa to sue grandma for this clearance, but I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly, and I even raised a lot more money! Happy!

But Jun Ruoxu felt that he had fallen into the trap of this woman named Zhang again. He bit his back teeth and gave the steward behind him a sharp look.

If he hadn't been instigating, how could he have kept bidding with the Crown Prince's wife?

The price of fifty yuan was shouted to one hundred and five yuan! More than double the price! What's the use of buying this moldy tea back? His Jun family is short of good tea?

The Jun family is rich, but why should the Jun family pay for the purchase of horses for the army?

Jun's steward was glared at by Jun Ruoxu and shrank back.

His surname is Hua, and he is from the natal family of the old lady of the Jun family. He has been with the eldest master Jun Mingzhang these years. This time Jun Ruoxu went to Yibang to collect tea. He heard that Huo Xi was also going, so the eldest master specially sent him

I followed him all the way and gave him some instructions secretly.

Seeing the person named Zhang bidding for this batch of moldy tea, he had been secretly encouraging Jun Ruoxu to bid for this batch of moldy tea with the intention of ruining her plan. But before he could take any action, the person named Zhang actually stopped bidding?

She stopped bidding!

She doesn't want it anymore!

Originally, he thought that the thing that Zhang was interested in must be a good thing. He also had to buy it back for the eldest master and study it carefully. Maybe it really became a rare thing, and the selling price was not all for him.

of credit?

What's more, if the Jun family can't take it, but the tea horse department officials don't show respect to the prince and insist on giving it to Zhang, then he will let her make a fortune!

Unexpectedly, she didn't want it anymore, she stopped!

One hundred and five cents left this batch of moldy old tea to the Jun family as rubbish! The Jun family was once again taken advantage of!
