Now that Yan Shiqing has come, even the old lady couldn't help but come to visit as soon as she learned about it.
She also wanted to follow Yan Shiqing and do something win-win from her side.
"I have met Princess Mo!"
After Mrs. Lian saw Yan Shiqing, she quickly came to Yan Shiqing and saluted.
Yan Shiqing has a good relationship with Mrs. Lian. This is not only because her first pot of gold when she came to Hongwu Kingdom came from the Lian Mansion, but also because of the many favors the Lian Mansion gave her later.
Even when Jiang Mansion encountered difficulties, the old lady not only did not add insult to injury, but tried her best to help. She will remember every bit of kindness in her heart.
Not to mention, this Lian Mansion served as her uncle's treasury.
Now she even knew why the old lady came.
"I've met Princess Mo!"
Wei Shi and Lian Shengfeng followed closely behind Mrs. Lian. After she saluted Yan Shiqing, they also hurriedly followed suit.
Now she is the serious Princess Mo of Chu, which is different from the quasi-princess last year.
In the past, they could still think that she was just a quasi-princess and the princess of Da Chu. They neglected the etiquette due to the close relationship between the two families.
It's totally impossible now, because my status is there.
If King Mo knew about it and thought they disrespected Princess Mo and started to attack, that would not be something they could bear.
Yan Shiqing saw that there was a restraint in their eyes that was not seen before, so she looked at Lian'er and said, "Where is the prince?"
"Go back to the princess, the prince is in the study!"
Although Yan Shiqing wanted to know how Chu Ximo negotiated with Emperor Dexuan after entering the palace, due to the presence of people from Lianfu, she nodded slightly and led them into the flower hall.
After the group of people sat down, Yan Shiqing said: "The old lady came here in person, but what's the matter?"
Mrs. Lian said with some obvious flattery on her face: "Logically, the princess has only arrived today, so I shouldn't come to disturb you. But when I heard that the princess was pregnant, I wanted to congratulate the princess as soon as possible."
As she spoke, she personally took out a brocade box from her sleeve pocket and handed it over: "I got this by accident. I hope it will please the princess."
This was the first time Yan Shiqing received a gift from Mrs. Lian, and it was in the name of her pregnancy.
Seeing this, she glanced at Mrs. Lian with doubts, and then opened it in front of her.
When I saw a jade ornament given by Qilin as a gift, I was stunned for a moment, and then started laughing.
This piece of jade is not big, but the color is good and the carving is exquisite. The price is not expensive, but it is not cheap either.
"It's thoughtful, I like it very much!"
Yan Shiqing said, closing the brocade box and looking at Mrs. Lian, her eyes softened again.
It is true that Mrs. Lian is interested, and the meaning of Qilin sending her son is very suitable for her current situation.
Even if Mrs. Lian were to say goodbye to something precious today, she would not accept it.
But the jade ornaments that Qilin sent as a gift were delivered to her heart.
Even the old lady couldn't stop smiling when she heard Yan Shiqing say she liked her.
Thinking of the real purpose of coming today, Yan Shiqing was in good spirits, so she said directly without going around in circles: "I don't know, but have you heard about the emperor's plan to raise tariffs on river canals?"
Mrs. Lian has been waiting for Yan Shiqing to come over since she learned the news.
She knew there was no point in being anxious about this matter, but how could she not be anxious?
Since last year, apart from the income from ice cubes, the majority of the Lian Mansion's other income has come from buying things and selling them to Hongwu Kingdom.
Of course, the most important thing is that her Lianfu and Yan Shiqing cooperate.
The people from Lian Mansion transported the things to the border between Huaizhou and Ningshou Mansion, and the people from Yan Shiqing did the same. When the time came, the two parties exchanged items and settled money.
This price has always been set in the contract. If Hongwu Kingdom raises the price, the company will inevitably lose money.
Unilaterally raising the price regardless of the reason is a breach of contract.
She was afraid that Yan Shiqing wouldn't know, and Emperor Dexuan had already begun to order higher taxes.
Even if Yan Shiqing will re-sign the contract in the end due to the special circumstances here, they certainly won't dare to raise the price too high.
It's just that in this way, Lian Fu can earn less money. It can even be said that he spends the most effort and earns the least money.
If this continues, Lianfu will be in a passive situation.
Before they came here, they had heard that King Mo had entered the palace. It was thought that he would negotiate with the emperor for the benefit of the people of Chu.
I don't know what the situation is now.
"I didn't know until I got here! I know what you are worried about, Madam. I can't guarantee that it will be the case, but I will try my best to fight for it."
Yan Shiqing said, looking sideways at Bai Zhi, handed the things at hand to her, and then whispered: "Put the things in the dressing box, and then go to the study to ask the prince what the issue of river tax is now.
Condition."
"yes!"
Bai Zhi responded, then bowed, picked up the things, and turned around to go out.
When Mrs. Lian heard this and saw Bai Zhi leaving, she glanced at each other with her son and daughter-in-law, then lowered her head and waited for the news.
After Bai Zhi went out, she came back in less than two quarters of an hour.
After entering the room, she first bowed to Yan Shiqing, then stood up straight and said with a smile: "Back to the princess, the prince said that His Majesty Hongwu promised not to increase taxes, and please reassure the princess!" yyls
Bai Zhi said this in a loud voice. Even the old lady, Lian Shengfeng and Wei Shi heard it. The three of them were so happy that they didn't know what to do.
When they came here, although they had hope, they felt that there was not much hope.
After all, they knew how much Emperor Dexuan loved money. Trying to stop him was undoubtedly the same as snatching food from a tiger's mouth.
I never thought that it would be solved so easily.
It seems that they are doing the right thing by hugging the big tree in Jiang Mansion!
Before Yan Shiqing could speak, Mrs. Lian stood up first, glanced at Lian Shengfeng and Wei Shi, and then saluted: "Thank you Princess Mo and King Mo! The big stone hanging on my heart has finally fallen.
.If King Mo had not come forward, I am afraid that the next days of our company would be difficult, and we would have to sign a new contract with you."
After she finished speaking, Wei Shi and Lian Shengfeng also stood up and saluted.
"Don't be polite even to me. Ah Mo will come forward in this matter because it involves the interests of the people of my country."
Even the old lady has always controlled her emotions very well in front of outsiders, but today because she was in front of Yan Shiqing, she didn't care whether she would lose her composure, and the smile in her eyes could not be hidden at all.
She didn't care what the purpose of Yan Shiqing and King Mo came to the palace to resolve this matter, but it was great news for her family and even the businessmen of the entire Hongwu Kingdom.
"No matter what, I still want to thank you and King Mo."
Even the old lady even used words of honor. After she finished speaking, she continued: "Princess, you just arrived today. I think you have been running all the way. You haven't had a good rest yet. I don't want to disturb you too much. First
Farewell. I'll wait for you to have a good rest before visiting again!"
Yan Shiqing was worried about what Chu Ximo said to Emperor Dexuan in the palace, so he followed Mrs. Lian's words and replied: "Well, the old lady can come when the time comes, and Shiqing will sweep the couch to welcome you!"
"
Mrs. Lian saw that there was no intention of perfunctory in her eyes, so she immediately took her son and daughter-in-law out of Jiang Mansion.
After sitting in the carriage, Webster said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law didn't expect that even if she became Princess Mo of Da Chu, her temperament would still remain the same and she would be as kind to others. When you said you wanted to come over, mother, your daughter-in-law still acted like a
Now the rules on her side will become bigger. I never thought that it would be no different from the first one. It’s just that the girl next to her is a different person, not a little baby."
Even the old lady sighed: "Yes! I didn't expect that she hasn't changed at all. She is a prince's concubine. If you think about the one in Xia Mansion before, she was still a concubine. Don't say how she is.
Even the people in the Xia Mansion are arrogant. This person is really different. A mere concubine wants to deal with this prince and his concubine. It’s a good thing that we are not from the same country, otherwise there would be no way to do this."
Even when the old lady said this, her expression changed and she said: "That's all, everyone is gone, and it seems disrespectful to the dead to talk about it. No matter what happens to Jiang Mansion in the future, it is right for us to hug them tightly. If it weren't for us in the beginning
Hold on, where is the existence of our Lian Mansion now? Look at the Wu Mansion, its vitality is seriously damaged now, and it will take three or five years to return to the way it was before. It’s just that now Da Chu and our Hongwu State canal
With one pass, you can do more things and make more money. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Wu Mansion to be the same as before in the future. It seems that the layout of the capital has to change."
Webster nodded and said nothing.
In the past few years, she has been following Mrs. Lian, whether inside or outside the house. Now she has seen more, she can get advice on many things, and she has gradually understood many things.
In addition to being on the right side of the people, another big reason why Lianfu can firmly rank first in the capital is because of his mother's vicious vision.
It was hard for her to imagine what the Lian family would be like if her mother died without Yan Shiqing.
Now in the Jiang Mansion, if Yan Shiqing hadn't been a member of Da Chu and had some scruples, she would have to give up her position as the top business person in the capital.
The industries under Jiang's name are so prosperous that no one in the capital can match them.
Coupled with her own identity and the secret help from Prince Qi Lie, no one dared to mess with her.
Fortunately, they had a good relationship with each other from the beginning, otherwise they would not be able to establish a relationship even if they try their best!
In Jiang Mansion, after Yan Shiqing and others left, they got up and went to the study.
At this time, Chu Ximo was studying the latest ship structure pattern sent from Qi Lie. When he heard the voice of "Princess" coming from outside the door, he quickly put down the drawing in his hand and walked to the door to help the person in.
"Why are you alone, where are Angelica dahuricae and Shaoyao?"
"I let them do their own work. I'm not a fragile object. I don't need anyone to support me!"
Yan Shiqing really had nothing to say about Chu Ximo's caution.
