"What's wrong with Mr. Luo? But it doesn't matter. These two are my grandfather's right-hand men. This one is Su Huai, who is the chief steward of the house."
Su Yizhao pointed to Su Huai to introduce to Mr. Luo, and then pointed to Dequan.
"This is Uncle De. He has been traveling for his grandfather."
When Mr. Luo saw that he was the person next to Mr. Su, he was surprised at first, and then stood up and saluted the two of them.
"Ouch! It can't be done! It can't be done! Mr. Luo has really ruined both of us."
Su Huai quickly stepped forward to help him. As the chief steward, he could not make mistakes in terms of etiquette.
"I will return to Beijing after the Luming Banquet. Manager Su and Uncle De will assist Mr. Luo with the mineral deposits until everything is ready. As for Mr. Zheng, he and his grandfather were officials in the same dynasty, so they have better friendship than you.
That’s it.”
Su Yizhao knew what Mr. Luo was worried about. Although the second old master and the others were from the Su family, they were still inferior to those of the Changfang in the capital.
Especially the situation in Beiyuan Mansion has changed, and the three wealthy businessmen have secretly taken refuge with the court officials.
If we only rely on the two old masters and the others, they may not be able to suppress the forces that are ready to move.
But what kind of friendship can Mr. Zheng have with his grandfather? It’s just a collusion of interests!
When Mr. Luo heard this, he immediately became happy. That was what he originally meant, but he was too embarrassed to say more, otherwise he would be suspected of despising the second old master and the others.
The eldest son of the second old man was a magistrate from the fourth rank, and he could not afford to offend the official family.
Now it seems that the Su family has made arrangements, so he doesn't need to worry anymore.
Mr. Zheng is an official of the imperial court, and his rank in the court is not low. How can he have the chance to meet Mr. Zheng? Now that he has the name of Mr. Su, he can do things more smoothly.
As for the Qu Jia mentioned before, this is what really gives Su Yizhao a headache.
This old man Qu seems to have other plans. Someone should have found their family, and the power behind it is not small. The Su family has lost its advantage in an instant. If they want the Qu family to agree to him, I'm afraid they have to come up with something.
Come with some sincerity.
Su Yizhao had previously guessed that it was the fourth prince, but based on her current observation of the fourth prince's behavior, it was probably not him who was eyeing the Qu family.
Because the fourth prince had been in frequent contact with the You family recently, he wanted to win over the You family. Unfortunately, the fourth prince came a step late, as the You family had already formed an alliance with the fifth prince.
The conditions offered by the fifth prince this time should be very tempting. The You family has a firm stance and will not be tempted easily.
The fourth prince went to the You family and encountered many obstacles, and finally secretly approached Mr. Zheng.
But Mr. Zheng suffered a secret loss because of the matter in the outer chamber, so how could he dare to be careless? Therefore, he always found excuses to avoid invitations from the fourth prince.
In this way, it was not smooth for the fourth prince to come to Beiyuan Mansion to do business.
There are still two days until the announcement is made, so the Fourth Prince must be extremely anxious.
Su Yizhao suddenly thought of an idea, and a plan gradually took shape in his mind.
"Young master has helped the Luo family a lot this time, and I am grateful to the old man for not being dissatisfied and entrusting him with an important task. I am very grateful even when Luo is scared."
Su Yizhao immediately said: "Master Luo, there is no need to be humble. If Master Luo had not acted appropriately and decisively, my grandfather would not have dared to seek cooperation with the Luo family."
Mr. Luo immediately winked behind him, and his follower Shi Quan immediately understood and walked into the inner room.
After a while, Shi Quan came out of the inner room, holding two small boxes of huanghuali wood in his hands.
"I heard that the young master likes some novel gadgets. Luo bought these in the market and gave them to the young master to play with. I hope the young master likes them."
Mr. Luo looked at Su Yizhao expectantly, and Su Yizhao looked at him with deep meaning, then nodded and accepted with a smile.
"If Mr. Luo spends money, then I will be disrespectful."
Su Yizhao asked the waiter to accept the box. This time the banquet finally achieved its goal and took the cooperation between the two parties a step further.
Su Yizhao exchanged a few words with Mr. Luo, and finally had a meal. It was considered a good time for the guests and the host, and then he said goodbye and left.
Su Yizhao walked to the door, suddenly turned around and smiled at Master Luo: "Remember! Don't interfere in the smelting of iron ore."
Mr. Luo's flushed cheeks suddenly froze. He was shocked and confused, but he nodded immediately.
"Of course I will listen to you, Master."
Mr. Luo looked at Su Yizhao standing in front of him under the dim candlelight, smiling with his eyebrows and eyes curled up like a blooming oleander, which was both beautiful and dangerous.
After Su Yizhao left, Mr. Luo immediately wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave up the ambition in his heart.
It seems that he still can't be careful. During this period, every move he makes is under the control of the Su family.
After Su Yizhao returned home, he did not shy away from Su Huai and returned to his yard with the box.
Su Huai and Dequan looked at each other. No wonder the master said that the seventh young master acted without scruples and did whatever he wanted.
Just accepting benefits in front of them is a matter of course.
Su Yizhao returned to the yard and asked Platycodon grandiflorum to organize the contents of the two boxes.
Kikyo opened the box curiously and gasped when she saw most of the jewelry in the box.
Su Yizhao heard the exclamation and stepped forward to check.
The small box, which is as big as her palm, is filled with jade, agate, beeswax, cat's eye, tourmaline and other bare stones.
There are also several pieces of jade of good quality, all of which are uncarved.
After scratching it, I found that so many treasures were squeezed into a small box. If it was scratched, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources?
It's really a novel gadget. It's for her to play with. That's right.
It has to be said that the merchants in Dayun Dynasty are very wealthy.
This is also because the business tax in Dayun Dynasty is not heavy, allowing those merchants to make a lot of money.
Although his status was low, he lived a really good life as a child.
He asked Platycodon to open another slightly larger box and found a stack of banknotes inside.
Su Yizhao took it out and looked at it roughly, and found that there should be three thousand taels.
This Mr. Luo is really generous. This time the mineral deposit is quite costly.
Mr. Zheng spent a total of ten thousand taels in the outer room, and there are at least ten thousand taels here. There are other things that need to be taken care of, so I am really willing to give them up.
But it may seem like a lot of cost now, but the rewards later will be amazing.
For those rewards, that's really nothing at this point.
Su Yizhao accepted it with peace of mind, then picked up a pearl the size of a thumbnail and gave it to Platycodon grandiflorum.
This is the most inconspicuous one in the box. Now Su Yizhao has a lot of treasures in his hands. He also has more than 200,000 taels of silver in his hands. Even Zhuangzi has several, not to mention the fields.
The only regret is that she has a house in the west city, but she doesn't have a house in the north city.
The people in Beicheng are all officials and nobles. With her current status, she is not qualified even if she wants to buy.
Moreover, the houses in Beicheng will not be sold easily. At present, we can only see if anyone can vacate the house.
Platycodon platycodon was so frightened by Su Yizhao's generosity that she waved her hands repeatedly, "Master! This is too precious, and I don't dare to ask for it."
