In Caiyun Courtyard, Huo Xi was looking through the account books. Ever since Aunt Jun plotted against her unborn child, she no longer liked staying in the house.
Gen Qi on the side was reporting Chu Li's whereabouts to her.
"Young Master Chu has gone to the mansion. This morning Chu Yi also came to visit, and he and the young master went to the restaurant on East Street."
"Um."
"Isn't Madam worried about the eldest son confronting the Duke?"
Huo Xi smiled and said, "He won't. And this successor is not fictitious."
This nobleman's relative is in the Southwest Army, and he is one of Mu Yan's few close friends. It's just a message, so I'm still willing to help him.
Mu Zhan is not stupid enough to confront the Duke, but in the future he may go to the mine to find out information about the mine owner. Mu Yan is meticulous in his work, so there will be no such loopholes.
"Has the letter been passed on to the Crown Prince?"
Gen Qi nodded, "Madam, don't worry, the carrier pigeon will bring back the prince's reply in the evening."
"very good."
Gen Qi looked at his wife who was flipping through the account books, and thought about the scene when she was young and accompanied the prince to study and practice martial arts...
The eight of them were all chosen by the old marquis to be the companions of the crown prince. As his confidants, they watched the crown prince come to the present. When he was young, he witnessed the difficulties of the crown prince with his own eyes, and he also imagined what kind of person his future wife would be.
, will he be assigned a woman that the prince doesn’t like?
He, Li Yikan and others were worried about this.
Unexpectedly, the prince personally went to the emperor to ask for his wife, and married the one he loved back to his side.
Moreover, the madam is so outstanding. Not only does she bring sunshine to the prince's life, but she is also a good helper to the prince. In the prince's absence, the madam is completely able to control the situation and does not let the prince worry.
What a blessing.
"What's going on? There's sand in your eyes?" Seeing Gen Qi turn around and press the corners of his eyes, Huo Xi glanced at him worriedly, "Why don't you lower the curtain?"
Gen Qi blinked twice, with a smile on his face: "It's okay, madam, it's so open and bright. Madam, I'll go out and see if Wandong's family has arrived."
"That's fine."
Wan Enyi, the owner of Wanlong Treasures, came in a hurry when he heard that the Crown Prince's wife wanted to see him.
"Is Madam asking about the status of those jade ornaments? The Antarctic Immortal will be carved in two days. Is it going to be sold in the shop, or does Madam have other uses?"
The stone materials that Chu Zuiliang had previously compensated had increased a lot. The 200,000 taels of silver that Huo Xi earned from selling the jade stones went to the city's people-benefiting projects, leaving a few pieces of jade materials in Wan's shop.
They helped carve out several jade ornaments.
She had received a pair of jade hairpins years ago, one for Mu Yan and one for each. The workmanship was so exquisite that even Mu Yan liked to wear hairpins on his hair every day. There are still a few large pieces left, which are still being carved in Wanlong today.
"The Antarctic Immortal will not be put on the shelves. I plan to have it transported to the capital to give to my father as a birthday gift. The other jade ornaments will also be wrapped and sent to the house. I will also transport them to the capital to give them away.
Then let the nobles in the capital take a look at your craftsmanship."
"Thank you madam!" Wan Enyi was extremely excited.
The prince’s wife’s father is a British Duke, who knows this? As long as the birthday gift given to the British Duke is displayed, are you afraid that his Wanjia’s craftsmanship will be buried?
"Thank you, Madam. If it weren't for Madam's trust, my family wouldn't have had such a good thing."
There are so many merchants on Jade Street, but the Crown Prince’s wife chose his house. It’s like a pie falling from the sky. For a mere merchant to be able to reach the Prince and his wife, the ancestral graves must be smoking. In the past few months, his family’s
Business is much better than usual, and the shop is often crowded with people. There is no time to sell the goods.
This is all thanks to the blessing of the prince and his wife.
Huo Xi smiled and said, "It's not my fault. It's because of your outstanding craftsmanship that you can be recognized by the guests."
After looking at him for a few times, he said: "I came to you today because I have other important matters..."
Wan Enyi stood there blankly, forgetting to blink.
"Did the Wandong family not hear clearly?" Huo Xi asked.
Wan Enyi hurriedly came back to his senses, his mind buzzing, and his face was full of disbelief. "Madam..." swallowed his saliva, "Madam, are you saying that you want to transfer 10% of the shares of Balang Jade Mine to me?"
Did he hear it wrong? How could a little guy like him dare to dream of owning a jade mine?
He couldn't even buy stones, so he picked up the leftovers from others. If his son and son-in-law hadn't been skilled in jade carving, how could his family have a foothold in Jade Street?
He didn't even dare to dream about owning a jade mine of his own, even just a corner. That was simply a wishful thinking. He only thought that like other big merchants, he would be able to enter the mine to pick out rough stones. Thank God.
.
With his status, how could he want to own a jade mine? Don’t you know what his status is?
But now the Crown Prince's wife said that she would transfer 10% of the shares to him. He must have heard wrong, right?
Huo Xi was not surprised that he would have such an expression.
He smiled and said, "You heard me right. Both the prince and I are fond of your family's craftsmanship, and since your family has been operating in Jade Street for so many years, your reputation for character and craftsmanship must be excellent. You do business honestly, and there is nothing to criticize."
The place. The jade material mined in that mine pit will be kept for a considerable part, and in the future it will be carved into jade ornaments and sold in the shop. The prince of your family values the craftsmanship very much."
Huo Xi asked someone to investigate his family. Not only his son and son-in-law were skilled in jade carving, but Wan Enyi himself was a master jade craftsman with superb skills.
It’s just that he no longer carves jade after a hand injury many years ago. But his vision is very good, and his skills are still there. And because his family has no background, he can stand on Jade Street for many years, and he has his own way of doing business.
.
In addition to Chu Li, Huo Xi also picked Wan Enyi, the owner of Wanlong Company.
The mine was officially run by a nobleman, but secretly it was run by Xu Li. The mined jade materials were sold in a Wanlong store. As long as Mu Yan and she had people watching from behind, no one would think that they were a couple.
industry.
I just don’t know if Wan Long, who has no background, dares to take over this share.
If we learn that Wanlong has a stake in it, I'm afraid there will be a lot of things going on in Wanlong in the future. When there are many things, there are good things and difficult things.
"It's okay if the Wandong family doesn't dare to accept it. The prince and I will look for candidates again. I came to you today just to ask about the status of those jade ornaments. You don't need to take it to heart or worry."
Wan Enyi's soul really returned to his original position now. Hearing Huo Xi say that he would look for another candidate, he immediately became anxious.
He took a step forward and said, "Madam, Madam, I am willing to take over, I am willing!" She was afraid that Huo Xi would take her words back.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wan. You didn't even ask me who the bosses are and whether they have any complicated backgrounds. You dare to take it on?"
Uh... Wan Enyi was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I believe in the prince and his wife."
In the days before and after, he had seen everything the prince and his wife had done. He felt that the emperor was extremely wise and restored the second son Mu to the title of prince. This was a blessing for the land of Dian.
The prince and his wife will not cheat him. He is so sure.
Huo Xi nodded, "The Wandong family are smart people. But this share requires two million taels. I wonder if the Wandong family can get the money?"
