"Three days to give a countermeasure? Sister, how can you be sure that he really has Da Zhou in mind?" Duan Yunyi asked.
Duan Yunxiu hesitated and said: "Actually, when I first met him, I had a bad attitude towards him, but when I was worried about the country, he ignored the past and solved the second line of sister Qin Xue's poem for me, just because
Can't bear to see me sad..."
Duan Yunyi was speechless.
Lin Duan also added: "Your Majesty, if Mr. Liang has such talent and calligraphy, his real character should not be much different. For example, Her Royal Highness the Princess gave him five hundred taels, and because he thought it was too much, he also gave him a gift
Your Highness. Come to think of it, those rumors may have been spread by the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, otherwise it would not make sense."
Duan Yunyi was relieved and said: "Of course I believe in the vision of the imperial sister, but now we are the only two sisters left in the Zhou royal family, so I have to act with caution. If he really wants to serve the country, even if he only considers his
He is talented and should be given a chance. I am actually looking forward to it. What countermeasures can he give me?"
Liang Xiao, who was writing at home, frowned.
He originally just wanted to trick Lin Duan over, but he never expected that the other person turned out to be someone close to the empress.
"Now that the matter has come to this, I can only deceive the Empress into boarding the pirate ship, otherwise I cannot guarantee my own safety." Liang Xiao said to himself, his eyes firm.
Early the next morning, the servants of the Duanmu family came to the door of Liang Xiao's house and knocked on the door.
"Are you Liang Xiao? Our eldest young master of the Duanmu family wants to meet you and come with me!"
Liang Xiao frowned, stared at the visitor, and said, "No need, if you have anything to say, just say it here."
The servant said solemnly: "If our eldest young master asks you to go, just go!"
Liang Xiao smiled and said: "Please come back."
"Are you going to drink wine as a penalty if you don't eat the toast?" the servant was angry.
What responded to him was Liang Xiao's chuckle and the sound of the door closing.
"Why did the young master refuse the Duanmu family's invitation..." Grandma said worriedly.
"My father died in the battle, and the Duanmu family was the first to stand up and criticize my father. Then the matter of Nangong Ning and the second son of the Duanmu family has spread, how can the Duanmu family look good on me? Should I go or not?
It won't change his hostility towards me, so why waste time on them." Liang Xiao explained.
Grandma and Jiang Fuxue were stunned, surprised and happy.
No matter what, at least he is no longer the stupid young man who first entered the capital two years ago!
The servant went back to Duanmu Yuncheng full of anger to report.
Duanmu Yuncheng squinted his eyes slightly and murmured to himself: "I can't believe that the person who recited poetry back then would be such a waste!"
"Brother, this man dares to humiliate my future father-in-law in public, I can't keep him!" Duanmu Yunqing's eyes were fierce, and the gentleness of the great talent in the capital was gone.
Duanmu Yuncheng gritted his teeth and sneered: "Keep an eye on him, and first try to find ways to discredit him so that no one will believe that "Autumn Ci" was written by him and not me."
Bai He, who was enjoying himself at home, was notified by the shopkeeper that Liang Xiao was visiting.
In the lobby, Bai He looked at Liang Xiao and frowned.
"What? I sold the workshop to you and signed the contract. Do you regret it?"
"I regret it." Liang Xiao nodded.
"Then pay two hundred taels and the contract will be void!" Bai He said with a smile.
Liang Xiao smiled and said: "I just regret that I signed too little. I want to change the contract with you. First, we have set a total price of five hundred taels of sugar cane. Are you willing to sell it?"
"Five hundred taels? Of course you can sell it, but the previous pricing rules must remain unchanged!" Bai He's eyes lit up.
"Okay." Liang Xiao nodded.
Both parties took out their respective copies of the contract and exchanged a five hundred tael contract on the spot.
After sending Liang Xiao away, Bai He was overjoyed: "Five hundred taels, this idiot has not changed much from two years ago!"
An hour later, a chamber of commerce under the name of Dingguo Houfu also welcomed Bai He as an uninvited guest.
"It turns out that it's the head of the Bai family, and he's been greeted from afar!"
When the shopkeeper saw Bai He, he welcomed him into the house with a smile.
Bai He said: "I'm going to get straight to the point. I hope Dingguo Houfu can join hands with my family to raise the price of sugar cane, preferably double the price!"
"Why?" The shopkeeper was puzzled.
Bai He explained: "Sugar cane is in hot demand right now! In fact, we are the only two companies selling sugar cane on the market, and you also know the benefits."
The shopkeeper shook his head: "Raising prices is not conducive to the development of our chamber of commerce."
"Don't refuse in a hurry! I can pay you one hundred taels to show my sincerity. When my batch of sugar cane is delivered, our two families will gather all the sugar cane merchants under our name and raise and lower the price at the same time." Bai He
suggested.
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Master Bai, please be patient. I must ask my superiors for instructions on this matter!"
Mu Qinxue, who was practicing piano at home, received a report from her superiors, with some doubts in her eyes.
"After Liang Xiao went to the Bai family chamber of commerce twice, why did Bai He go to my chamber of commerce in person to make such a request? There must be something fishy in it!"
An hour later, people from the Dingguo Hou Mansion also came to visit Liang Xiao.
It was the shopkeeper who promised to make utensils for Liang Xiao.
The shop owner of the workshop said straight to the point: "Young Master Liang, you are well. The head of the Bai family came to see our Sugarcane Chamber of Commerce in Dingguohou Mansion, hoping to raise the price together. I believe this matter has something to do with you."
Hearing this, Jiang Fuxue's face turned pale: "How shameless! My brother cooperated with him sincerely, but he actually took advantage of the loopholes in the contract and wanted to harm my brother!"
Liang Xiao just smiled and asked: "Then will you raise the price?"
The shop owner of the workshop shook his head and said: "Raising prices is very despicable. Who knows what his intentions are!"
Liang Xiao then said: "He made an agreement with me that I would regularly buy sugar cane with a total value of five hundred taels from him, at a price that is 20% higher than the best sugar cane in your Dingguo Marquis Mansion."
The owner of the workshop had a look of surprise on his face: "That's it! We at Dingguohou Mansion still say that we don't do business with bad character! Whatever the price of sugar cane is, that's the price!"
Liang Xiao sighed: "It seems that I should trade with you, but I am not sure yet about the quality of the sugar I make, so I must first find the best quality sugar cane."
"It's okay to compare shopping. The quality of the sugar cane from the Bai family is indeed better than what we sell at Dingguohou Mansion."
After the workshop manager finished speaking, he apologized again and explained: "Previously, my eldest young master exposed Duanmu Yuncheng in public and testified that "Autumn Ci" was actually written by Mr. Liang."
Jiang Fuxue was stunned and suddenly felt angry.
Isn’t this a trick to him?
The shopkeeper of the workshop added: "My lady felt something was wrong afterwards, and she hopes to invite Mr. Liang to come to the house and chat with you about poetry. What do you think?"
Liang Xiao happily agreed.
A luxurious carriage rushed to Dingguohou's mansion.
