Should I place the order?

After securing the Fenjiu business, Wan Xin's status within the Wan family actually rose to a certain extent; at least many of his uncles and elders changed their opinion of him.

After all, such a huge profit is right in front of them.

But now Tang Huan has handed over such a big business entirely to Wan Xin, which is somewhat unexpected for him.

"Anyway, the price that Qihuai County gives you won't change. You can raise the price a bit on top of that and then sell it to others. That's your profit. You can figure out the specifics yourself."

Tang Huan sighed softly, "The reason why Fenjiu is so popular now is not only because of its good taste, but also because of its affordable price. If you don't grasp this balance, it may affect your original business."

Tang Huan was only going to offer a reminder; she wasn't willing to go through the trouble of calculating so much more.

I believe that no matter how little Wan Xin is valued, she can find someone in the Wan family to help her.

Or he could simply try to persuade the Wan family to take the Fenjiu business seriously, since Tang Huan had no intention of getting involved anymore.

He's lazy.

But in Wan Xin's view, this was entirely due to Tang Huan's trust in her.

At this moment, I couldn't help but feel excited and restless.

Tang Huan glanced at it indifferently, "Go back and prepare early, there will be a lot to do after spring."

Since the beginning of winter, in addition to the South District projects that have been suspended due to the cold, business people have also been significantly affected.

After all, once the snow falls heavily and the cold winds rage, trade routes can easily be cut off.

But things will be different once spring arrives, and Wanxin won't have as much energy to devote to the South District project.

"Thank you, Lord Tang. I will definitely expand the Fenjiu business and will not let you down!"

Wan Xin solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute, his expression resolute.

Tang Huan couldn't help but laugh. "Don't be so serious. It's just a Fenjiu business. Do whatever you want. If there are any problems, we can just find another one."

Tang Huan took it all in stride.

But Wan Xin couldn't think that way. He left the mansion with a heavy heart, pondering these things all the way.

Shortly after Wan Xin left, Tang Huan also quietly left the mansion.

With Li Daikui absent and no one to drive the carriage, Tang Huan initially intended to drive the carriage into the palace herself, but later decided to walk to the palace instead.

Fortunately, Chunfeng Tower was not far from the palace, and Tang Huan arrived outside the Meridian Gate in less than half an hour.

Showing the token he had been holding for a long time, Tang Huan once again entered the palace without any hindrance.

Compared to her secret entry into the palace that night, Tang Huan noticed that the patrolling guards were paying more attention to her when she arrived today.

Even the palace maids and eunuchs would stop and stare at it for a long time, showing great interest.

"It seems our reputation has grown even more after that competition..."

Tang Huan scratched the back of his head and muttered a few words to himself.

He clutched a box tightly in his right hand and walked toward the Imperial Study as if no one else was around.

Halfway there, a eunuch quietly approached Tang Huan, his footsteps silent.

The noise was very slight, but Tang Huan still heard it easily.

He merely glanced at the other person, who was walking silently with their head down, and smiled without saying a word.

A few minutes passed, and as the imperial study drew ever closer, the eunuch finally couldn't help but stop.

Tang Huan stopped immediately as well, turning back to look at the other person's conflicted and serious face.

"What's wrong?" Tang Huan looked at the other person with a bright smile. "It looks like you've been promoted, so why are you unhappy?"

Xiao Shen looked troubled. His eunuch robes were indeed different from usual, with more patterns and less of a simple and rustic feel.

Xiao Shen has indeed been promoted. Although he is still far from being the chief eunuch Li Lianying, he has gained the emperor's favor and is able to handle many important matters.

During this month, he delivered letters to various households many times, and each time he left, he received a considerable amount of reward money from the recipient.

That was something I couldn't get even if I stayed in the palace for a whole year.

He hardly needed to do anything; he only needed to tell the other party how His Majesty's expression was when he received the secret letter.

Xiao Shen felt there was nothing wrong with doing this, because His Majesty's expression never seemed to change.

Serious and cold, making people afraid to look at them for long.

Xiao Shen knows that he has achieved all of this not because of his own abilities, nor because of his exceptional judgment.

It was simply because Lord Tang was close to him that His Majesty entrusted him with matters related to Lord Tang, and as a result, he was inexplicably promoted.

How many people are you managing now?

While Xiao Shen was lost in thought, Tang Huan had already approached and started asking questions with a grin.

Xiao Shen said embarrassedly, "There are more than a hundred."

Tang Huan patted Xiao Shen on the shoulder heavily, "Not bad, you've been promoted faster than me. I'm still just a compiler in the Hanlin Academy."

"Sir, please don't joke with me. I'm only doing this because of you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to achieve this even in a few more years."

"If it's something to be happy about, why are you looking so gloomy!"

Xiao Shen bit her lip hard and suddenly knelt down before Tang Huan.

"grown ups……"

Tang Huan swiftly grabbed the young eunuch, preventing him from kneeling on the ground, and then displayed an angry expression.

"Xiao Shen, you are His Majesty's man, and you will only kneel before His Majesty for the rest of your life. Don't kneel to others casually, or people will say that I, Tang Huan, am harboring evil intentions."

A cold sweat broke out on Xiao Shen's back. Realizing that his behavior was somewhat problematic, he quickly explained, "Sir, that's not what I meant."

"It's okay, just say what's on your mind, don't keep it to yourself."

Xiao Shen looked distressed. "Do you remember the time I went to Qihuai County to deliver the imperial edict to you?"

"I remember, you brought me some really great news."

Xiao Shen looked even more distressed. "After I came back, His Majesty kept asking me if anything had happened. I originally wanted to cover it up for my husband, but His Majesty could tell I had something on my mind. I was so frightened by her that I told her everything that had happened."

"I said it, it's no big deal." Tang Huan waved her hand and walked forward nonchalantly.

Xiao Shen quickly caught up, "But you killed the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, this..."

"Don't worry, since I had no problems seeing His Majesty in the palace last night, it means this matter has no impact. Look how scared you were."

Xiao Shen was still somewhat depressed because he felt that Lord Tang had been very good to him, but he had betrayed him in that matter.

Even though Tang Huan is safe and sound now, Xiao Shen still feels that he has done something wrong to her.

The young eunuch was preoccupied, but Tang Huan didn't have much time to comfort him, as they had already arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Study.

Tang Huan raised her hand and knocked on the door. After receiving a response, she stepped inside.

Seeing that only Empress Wu Lanxi was in the imperial study, she approached with a playful smile and placed the box in front of her.

"Your Majesty, I have brought you something wonderful. Look, it is the Magnificent Landscape Painting!"
