Yuan Qingling asked again: "When you said these words to him, was Uncle Liu around?"
Aunt Xi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Liu is always there."
"What is the origin of this person?
Were they the top retainers in the palace when the princess first descended?"
"I don't remember. The retainer who was sent died of illness a few years later. As for Uncle Liu's background, I really don't know. After the princess got married, Concubine Su passed away not long after, and she rarely entered the palace to serve the Emperor.
Please say hello, so I don’t know much about the affairs of the Princess Mansion, but I have seen more of those children who played with King Qi in the early years and often went to the palace."
After Grandma Xi finished speaking, she looked at Yuan Qingling and asked: "What's going on?
Is this Uncle Liu suspicious?"
Yuan Qingling shook her head, "I don't know yet. I'll check it out later. Don't tell anyone in the palace about this. In front of the Supreme Emperor, try to talk as little as possible about Princess Huiping."
"Don't worry, no one will mention it, and the Emperor himself doesn't want to think about it."
Aunt Xi said.
It was rare to come back, so Aunt Xi went to visit her.
The two elderly people chatted for most of an hour, and Aunt Xi repeatedly warned her to pay attention to the princess's diet and not to let anything happen to the fetus.
When Grandma Xi left, she was also very reluctant to leave. After living in the Prince of Chu's Mansion for five or six years, no matter whether it was people or things, she was deeply attached to her.
But fortunately, the dim sums she cared about most were in the palace, and she had to stay by their side.
Of course, in addition to the three real children, there were also three old children in the palace, so the reluctance was only temporary. She got on the carriage and returned to the palace, and she felt like returning home again.
Not long after Grandma Xi left, Lao Wu came back. Tang Yang informed him of the matter. After hearing this, he frowned and said, "Check this Uncle Liu."
"I've already asked people to investigate, but it's just Liu Jing's side. Do you want to help him sell the pharmaceutical factory?"
Tang Yang asked.
"Go and help spread the word, so that they won't be deceived."
Yu Wenhao expressed doubts about the survivability of these three cousins. The princess was too indulgent in the past. They knew nothing except eating, drinking, having fun and spending money. Especially now that the princess mansion has declined, and medicines are sold at this time.
Factories and hospitals, some people with ulterior motives may be targeting them.
Following Yu Wenhao's instructions, Tang Yang sent someone to ask Liu Jing to come to the palace tomorrow to discuss it. Tang Yang had a suitable buyer in mind, and that was Hu Qingyun from Dazhou.
The medicine of Dazhou is more advanced than that of Beitang. If Hu Qingyun of Dazhou buys this pharmaceutical factory, he will definitely get some prescriptions from Dazhou to refine medicine, which will also be of great benefit to the development of medicine in Beitang.
Therefore, Tang Yang went to the Dingfeng. He knew that Hu Qingyun came to Beitang this year and wanted to develop in Beitang, so he came to develop it himself.
After discussing with Hu Qingyun, Hu Qingyun was very interested and he was very willing to give me a good price. The medical clinic didn’t want it, only the pharmaceutical factory.
When Liu Jing came over the next day, Tang Yang stopped coming and asked Yuan Qingling to tell him.
Liu Jing heard that there was a buyer and thought that Yuan Qingling had agreed to take half of the share. He was very happy and kept saying that the money would be given to the Prince of Chu's palace to reassure Yuan Qingling.
Yuan Qingling didn't say no. Lao Wu said before he returned to the Yamen today that he wanted to give the share to the people without turning it down in advance. We would know his purpose if Uncle Liu would spread the word.
It is not easy to find a person who has been lurking in the Princess Mansion for so many years. At least it will not take three to five days to find out, but if his purpose is clear, he can basically be classified as an enemy.
Yuan Qing Ling said: "This buyer is Hu Qingyun, the owner of Dazhou Dingfeng. If you are interested, I will serve as a host and invite him to come to the house. You can negotiate among yourselves. The price has been given by the other party. As long as the pharmaceutical company, two million
For two taels of silver, he only wants the medicines stocked in the pharmaceutical factory, and the medicines your mother stocked elsewhere before she was alive. He doesn't want them. At this price, what do you think?"
Liu Jing was overjoyed. He had asked others and said that if you sell a pharmaceutical factory nowadays, the price will definitely be lowered. It is good to be able to sell it for 1.5 million. The owner of the Ding Feng Hao was really happy.
"Then please ask my cousin-in-law to make an appointment with Mr. Hu's family for a talk!"
He stood up and saluted.
Yuan Qingling asked the guards to run errands, and then asked Tang Yang to greet Liu Jing. The purpose was to ask some questions about Uncle Liu. It was not convenient for her to be present.
Tang Yang specially asked someone to prepare a pot of fine wine, cook some side dishes, and invited Xu Yi to accompany Liu Jing to drink and eat.
During the dinner, after several tests, Liu Jing was unguarded and answered ten questions. Finally, he sighed and said that it was lucky that Uncle Liu was here and could give them an idea. Otherwise, they really didn't know what to do.
Tang Yang poured him wine and asked, "This Uncle Liu is really a loyal servant. By the way, where is he from?"
I've met him twice, and his accent doesn't sound like he's from the capital."
Liu Jing did not doubt that he was there and said bluntly: "Uncle Liu is not from Beijing. He is from Qingtong County, Jiangbei Prefecture. He came to Beijing to make a living in the early years and came to a pharmaceutical factory. His mother saw that he was literate and could do business, so she stayed here."
In the pharmaceutical factory, I later saw that he was more and more capable, so I promoted him to the position of manager. He was even in charge of many things in the government. I remember my grandfather said before that Uncle Liu was a capable man with unique vision and helped his mother earn a lot of money.
.”
"Oh, I see. Then he has been with the princess for so many years, so he should have accumulated a lot of wealth, right?"
Tang Yang asked.
"Well..." Liu Jing thought for a while, "I don't know. Anyway, he has always lived in the princess's mansion and has not purchased a house. As for whether he has any money, I have not asked, but I heard my mother say that every time
Uncle Liu is given a bonus at the end of the year, no less than a few thousand taels every year, so he should have some money, and he also earns a lot of wages, more than a hundred taels a month."
Xu Yi was startled, "So many?"
Xu Dun was jealous for a moment. He had worked hard to become a general. His salary was only a thousand taels a year, and even a supervisor had more than him. At the end of the year, he was given a bonus of several thousand taels. He should go into business.
Tang Yang rolled his eyes at him.
"Anyway, mother said that he is capable, so I can give him more money." Liu Jing knew that they were all popular people around the prince, so he lowered his voice and said, "If the pharmaceutical factory is successfully sold, I will give you two some food."
Tea money, I need to ask you two to help me more in the future."
Xu Yigang wanted to refuse, but Tang Yang said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Mr. Liu. Come, drink, drink!"
When Liu Jing saw how attentive they were, he felt happy. Anyway, he thought that he could bribe the people around the prince, so that when the prince wanted to pursue them in the future, there would be someone who could help and say a few words. In fact, he really didn't want to leave the capital.
To make a living elsewhere, no place in the Northern Tang Dynasty was as prosperous as the capital. It was Uncle Liu who always persuaded him to sell it and take the money away from home.
