Chapter 865 Buying and Selling (1)

Is this young master not grown up yet? What on earth were the people at Guangtong thinking, and how could they arrange for such a person to negotiate!

"Everyone, get up. If you want to report something, go report it to my eldest young master first. The eldest young master is already waiting at the Lu family."

Pang Xiao's eyes lit up, like a child who got candy, and said in surprise: "Seriously?"

"Of course it's true."

"My young master no longer has to stay in this hellish place?"

Shopkeeper Yuanda didn't even bother to answer. He turned around and ordered the jailer to open the door.

There was the sound of chains rattling in the cell, and the doors of all three cells were opened.

Pang Xiao helped Qin Yining stand up and slapped his sore thighs where Qin Yining had been sitting on them.

Qin Yining smiled apologetically, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and followed Shopkeeper Yuanda out of the prison.

All the prisoners in the prison shouted that they were wronged, but they couldn't get out if they wanted to.

The sky outside the prison was blue, and it was the crisp autumn season.

Qin Yining squinted unaccustomed to the bright light. Pang Xiao also closed his eyes for a while before opening them.

Shopkeeper Yuanda looked at the group of people with disdain and said: "Master Wan's servants can go back to your boat. Our young master has not touched anything on the boat. As for you, you can follow. I come."

Pang Xiao lied: "If you don't go, we are still hungry! If I go with you, are you going to the Lu family for dinner?"

Shopkeeper Yuanda couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Is it more important to talk about business or to eat? Even if I've been starved for three days, I still have business right in front of me, so I can't ignore it!

Shopkeeper Yuanda was ordered to lead these people, so naturally he could only endure it and accompany Pang Xiao and his party back to Huafang first.

After everyone freshened up, the cook managed to cook some Japonica rice porridge, and everyone ate some of it. After being hungry for too long, it would be bad to eat too much all at once, so both Qin Yining and Pang Xiao only ate a bowl of japonica rice porridge with side dishes.

After Pang Xiao had eaten and drank enough, he took Qin Yining, Huzi, Jiyun and Bingtang off the boat to find the shopkeeper Yuan.

Shopkeeper Yuanda was already impatient with waiting. Seeing Pang Xiao holding the beauty in his arms when he went to discuss business, he was really jealous, envious and despised, and snorted from his nose.

As for the mission, he still took a group of people to the Lu family.

The Lu family's mansion occupies a much larger area than Qin Yining had imagined. The two stone lions in front of the gate were shiny with oil. When a group of people passed by with a carriage, a young man sitting on the steps in front of the door was chatting in a low voice. Everyone looked in this direction.

Shopkeeper Yuanda ordered his driver to drive the carriage to the side door.

The driver responded, drove the car straight past the main gate, walked to the corner and turned right.

This street is narrower than the main street, but the road surface is the same as the main street and is swept clean.

As soon as he saw the carriage arriving, the gatekeeper immediately came forward to salute.

"Shopkeeper Yuanda is here."

"Yes." Shopkeeper Yuanda nodded with a smile, got out of the car first, stood beside the carriage with his sleeves and hands, and watched "Ms. Ning" get out of the car with an expressionless face.

After three days of starvation in prison, this beauty lost some weight. Her waist was so slender that it could be pinched with two hands. When she lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes flickered like butterfly wings.

Shopkeeper Yuanda sighed secretly,

He didn't seize the opportunity, and I'm afraid it won't work now. As for what happens in the future, it still depends on the young master's wishes. If the eldest young master can go, he may not be able to think of anything else. If the eldest young master cannot go, he will always have a way to get someone from Young Master Wan in the future.

He didn't believe how long a libertine like Master Wan would pamper one woman.

Pang Xiao helped Qin Yining stand still, and naturally he did not miss the calculation and greed in Yuanda shopkeeper's eyes. The corners of his lips curled up, and he said calmly: "Shopkeeper Yuanda, please lead the way."

Shopkeeper Yuanda came to his senses and led the two of them into the mansion, walked through a long alley to the study room in the outer courtyard, passed through the hallway, walked around the corridor, and passed through a Haitang gate, finally arriving at a secluded courtyard.

The green wooden door of the courtyard was open, and a little girl stood quietly in front of it.

There are three main rooms in the courtyard. A stone brick road leads directly to the gate. The side rooms on both sides have wing rooms. There is a lush osmanthus tree on the left, a stone table is placed under the grape trellis on the right, and a few bamboos are planted next to the courtyard wall. The lotus flowers in the vat have already bloomed, and a few koi carp are leisurely.

Lu Zheng and Lu Xi were sitting at the stone table under the grape trellis, playing chess.

"Go back to the young master, we have already brought him here." Shopkeeper Yuanda's voice was soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing Lu Zheng's thoughts on playing chess.

Lu Zheng held the white piece in his hand, observing the chess game. He slowly dropped a piece, and there was a soft "click" sound on the chessboard.

He seemed not to hear the sound and ignored the people around him.

Lu Xi was not as calm as Lu Zheng. He raised his eyes and glanced at Pang Xiao with a complicated expression.

However, if Lu Zheng didn't take a stand, he naturally wouldn't take a stand either. Quietly accompanying her, she gave birth to two more sons.

Lu Zheng seemed to have come back to his senses at this moment, and said with a smile: "I know. Shopkeeper Yuanda, go and have a rest first. Thank you for taking the trip."

"I don't dare. I'm sorry, please leave." Shopkeeper Yuanda smiled apologetically and backed away from the courtyard, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

Could it be that the eldest young master knew that he went to the prison privately to date Mrs. Ning?

At this time, two beautiful maids came out of the house and brought two handfuls of rice wine. They also took out a small table made of rattan. After placing it properly, they led Pang Xiao and Qin Yining to sit down.

Bingtang, Jiyun and Huzi all retreated to the corner of the courtyard entrance and stood still.

Neither Qin Yining nor Pang Xiao had any tea, they just waited quietly for Lu Zheng to finish playing chess.

Obviously, this is a threat from the other side. Such a threat is neither painful nor itchy. Although the intention of humiliating people is very direct, Qin Yining and Pang Xiao are both people who have seen strong winds and waves, and they cannot cause any substantial harm to this kind of attack. They don't take things to heart. What they care about is whether things can be done.

It's just that Pang Xiao is playing the role of a fool, so naturally he can't act too calm at this time.

He seemed to have a worm on his body, but he would change his sitting position in a moment, and when he was drinking tea, he would put down the tea bowl and jingle.

In short, he vividly interprets the image of a willful, impatient and ignorant of etiquette.

Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh while watching.

Lu Zheng originally wanted to continue his majesty by killing the young master of the Wan family. Unexpectedly, after three days in jail, this man has not improved at all and remains the same.

Listening to the noises he made, no matter how good his mood was, Lu Zheng dropped the chess piece and waved to Lu Xi.

Lu Xi nodded and said, "Yes." He stood up and stood aside to serve.

"I've kept you two waiting for a long time. We are very excited about chess and have neglected our distinguished guests." Lu Zheng said politely.

Who in the Lu family would normally say "don't be lazy" and say a few polite words to get closer to someone who wants something from the Lu family? Pang Xiao said carelessly: "Isn't that right? After waiting for so long, why haven't you decided the winner yet?"

Lu Zheng took a deep breath and smiled, but his words were really rude: "Are you the eldest son of the Wan family in Guangtong?"

Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat, they were pretending after all.

Pang Xiao raised his chin confidently: "Exactly."

Lu Zheng shook his head and said regretfully: "Why did your Guangtong company send someone like you here? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble and discrediting the company?"

"Hey, what do you mean? I am the owner of Guangtong No. in the future. How can I do bad things and bring discredit to my family?"

Lu Zheng shook his head repeatedly, looking helpless as a scholar encountered a soldier and couldn't explain why.

"That's all, are you here to discuss the purchase of an imperial envoy? You and I should finish the business quickly to avoid having to meet again in the future."

Pang Xiao crossed his arms and rolled his eyes: "Do you think I am willing to talk to you? If it weren't for the old man's orders, would I have suffered at your place? I will definitely explain it to the old man when I go back. This is how your Lu family treats their customers. !”

"If your master hadn't cried and begged, do you think you would be qualified to sit here and talk to me now?" Lu Zheng simply disliked this man's noisiness and went straight to the point.

"Okay, okay, tell me, what does Guangtong want to buy an imperial envoy for?"

Pang Xiao looked around, then glared at Lu Xi defensively.

"You can speak with confidence, no one here will spread the words between you and me." Then he smiled sarcastically, "Even if it spreads, don't be afraid. The business of my Lu family is not done in a day or two, and this kind of business is not what It's a strange thing, if anyone dares to criticize it, our Lu family will naturally have ways to deal with it."

With such a confident tone and such a familiar attitude, Qin Yining thought that Lu Zheng must be telling the truth. They had indeed done a lot of such transactions.

Even selling an official position seemed so easy. The Lu family's century-old roots and abilities seemed to be even more immeasurable than she knew.

Is this really a good way to run a business?

Qin Yining fell into deep thought.

Pang Xiao snorted and said: "To tell you the truth, our Guangtong Hao wants to take root in the old capital of the Yan Dynasty. In order to expand business and expand our contacts, many things are inconvenient. There is no one in the court, so we are naturally constrained in doing things. The local officials there are insecure, so we thought if the court could arrange for a temporary official to support us."

Lu Zheng sneered, "It's easy for you to think. To appoint an imperial envoy, you have to ask the emperor himself. If the emperor doesn't say to appoint an imperial envoy, do you think it is so easy for anyone to arrange an imperial envoy?"

"Then it depends on your family's ability. Otherwise, our money won't be worth it. Are you trying to destroy your own reputation?"

Lu Zheng felt bored as soon as he saw "Master Wan"'s arrogant face. It was such a pity for such a good person. He simply turned his eyes away, admiring the beauty generously and said, "Since I asked you to come, , we have this ability, but it is true that things are difficult to handle, and we made an appointment on the tenth day of October, so you came a little early."

"Aren't you anxious? Besides, I've never been to Danzhou City before, so I just came here to take a look." Pang Xiao was a little afraid of being exposed, so he gave a reasonable excuse with a calm face.

His arrogant look made it too believable to say such words. Lu Zheng did not doubt it and said: "Let's talk about the conditions first. If the conditions are right, the deal will be half done."
