"A great country is magnanimous?" Xiao Ye asked doubtfully: "What magnanimity does this peace negotiation require?"
Xu Qing asked: "What do you want?"
Xiao Ye said matter-of-factly: "Of course I want money!"
Xu Qing asked: "You want money? How much?"
Xiao Ye said without thinking: "How much do you want if this is not enough?"
This time the Zhou State was defeated, with three cities, a handful of prisoners, and several generals. Moreover, they were the ones who took the initiative to declare war and the Chu State sent troops and raised food. How could they be worthy of the Zhou State if they didn't ask for more money?
Xu Qing said: "Brother Xiao, you also know that I will not negotiate for peace. If the state is damaged by then..."
Xiao Ye comforted: "Brother Xu, what are you talking about? They are here for peace talks, not us. We are here to do business. When I came down from the morning, the emperor also said to me..."
Xu Qing saw Xiao Ye's voice stopped suddenly and asked, "What did you say?"
Xiao Ye glanced at Xu Qing with complicated eyes and continued: "The emperor said that when it comes to doing business, he has never seen anyone as unscrupulous as Brother Xu. Then he can ask for more money."
Xu Qing: "..."
slander!
What a complete slander!
What is a profiteer?
The things bought in Guoshangyuan are always reasonably priced, suitable for all ages, and are good value for money. Why am I a profiteer?
You are very conscientious, okay?
While cooperating with me to make money for their royal family, they still have to be called a profiteer by their royal family?
There are no laws of heaven!
If we want to talk about profiteers, they are also the old Xiao family. They are profiteers!
If you really want to talk to a treacherous businessman, you might as well go to the Xian Wang. Is there a more treacherous businessman in the entire Chu State than the Xian King?
If the old Xiao family keeps such a good pig head, why do they need to find pigs to seduce?
But there is no way, he, the CEO of China Business Academy, cannot refuse the request of the major shareholder.
well……
Anding County is like a brick, it needs to be moved wherever it goes.
Xu Qing estimated that in a month or two, there might be such a hot topic in the "Beijing Xun Bao": Zhou Guo is seeking peace, and let's see how the Anding County Marquis manipulates the loser's peace talks.
In fact, when it comes to negotiation, it’s not like Xu Qing hasn’t learned it before.
For example, peace talks between the two countries should be magnanimous...
For another example, it is absolutely impossible for our army to return the three cities occupied by our army to you!
In the end, right? Not only is it impossible to pay back! You also have to compensate me for the cost of setting off my army!
I just don't know if it works well here.
Why don't you think about it from another angle? Since Emperor Chu said it was business, why not just follow the business rules?
Have a captive clearance sale?
In line with the principle of sharing the same ancestry and origin, and because you have come from afar, the State of Chu offered a large discount, buying five and getting one free. However, in fact, it secretly raised the price, making Zhou feel that it was actually a loss.
More?
But there is no need to be particularly anxious about the peace talks.
Even if the Zhou peace envoy has set off now, based on the speed of the carriage of the envoy, it will probably take more than a month to reach the capital of Chu, right?
This business is not urgent, you can wait slowly.
There is one more important thing today. The little girl has always wanted to choose a place in the house to live after the wedding. It has been more than half a month since she came back, but the little girl is very anxious.
Are you still worried about not having a place when you marry?
And based on current estimates, it will probably be two or three years before the little girl gets married, right?
Xu Qing is now a little unsure of who the little girl really wants to marry.
There is nothing we can do about it. Counting Xuan'er, the family of four can live a good life now.
Andinghou Mansion
When Su Qian walked out of the Nuan Pavilion and saw Xu Qing coming back with Xiao Ruxue, a hint of joy appeared on Su Qian's originally indifferent face unconsciously.
"Sister Su!" Xiao Ruxue saw Su Qian, waved to Su Qian, smiled, ran over, and stopped in front of Su Qian.
Su Qian looked at Xiao Ruxue and said, "I haven't seen Xuan'er since she followed her husband to Liuzhou. She seems to have grown up a lot now."
Xu Qing walked over from the side, coughed and corrected: "To be precise, I have grown a lot taller."
As for the big... I didn't see any obvious changes...
Xiao Ruxue still has a childish heart, and her face cannot hide her secret personality, which is full of childishness.
Xuan'er is much more mature than the little girl.
Xiao Ruxue leaned down and rested her ears on Su Qian's belly. After holding her breath for a moment, she suddenly said in surprise: "Sister Su, sister Su, I heard it, I heard it! There's something moving!"
Su Qian stroked her belly with her hand and said, "It's almost six months, so there will naturally be some movement."
Then the little girl turned back and said: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing, you can hear it, why don't you come and listen?"
Xu Qing waved his hand and said: "I listen to it every night, no need to make a fuss."
Xu Qing could hear much more clearly at night than the little girl. The little girl had to wear a thick winter coat, but he didn't need to be separated by anything when listening at night.
Think about how exhausted I was every day because of this little guy. If this little guy grows up and is not filial, I will be sorry for his hard work.
Xuan'er supported Su Qian on the side and said, "Miss, Princess, we'd better not talk outside. It's too cold outside, and Miss is still pregnant."
When Xiao Ruxue heard this, she quickly held Su Qian's other hand and carefully helped Su Qian back to Nuange.
Su Qian couldn't laugh or cry about their caution.
Her martial arts skills, not to mention a grandmaster, should be the first-class master in the world. How come she has a child in her belly and yet she becomes a weak woman in their eyes?
This can't be done and that can't be done.
Xu Qing also walked into the warm pavilion and closed the door to block out the air conditioning.
It is not good for a man and a woman to live alone in the same room, so three women and a man should not be a man and a woman to live alone, so it is not a big problem.
Moreover, the three girls are still our own people.
Two of the three girls can easily handle themselves with one hand...
hiss……
It’s scary to think about it!
If they want to do something evil to them, I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything against women's wishes...
Just when the little girl and Su Qian were sitting on the bed holding hands and chatting happily, the little girl's ears suddenly moved and she raised her head to look at Xu Qing: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing, is it snowing? I
I heard noises outside."
Xu Qing didn't pay too much attention and said: "The sound of wind, since winter has hit, such whistling wind sounds are still very common."
But the little girl didn't believe it: "No, no, it must be snowing. I want to go out to see the snow!"
After saying that, the little girl walked through the screen, lifted the curtain that blocked out the air-conditioning, opened the door, and looked out, only to see snowflakes floating in the sky at some point.
Xiao Ruxue ran to the yard and jumped up, shouting: "Sister Su, Xu Qing! Look, I said it's snowing! It's snowing so hard!"
Xu Qing followed Xiao Ruxue out and leaned against the door of the Nuan Pavilion, smiling and looking at the little girl who was jumping around in the yard like an elf.
The little girl is looking at the snow, and he is also looking at the snow...
