"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious," Chen Xiaoyun said awkwardly, and walked away. In her heart, she thought, "Hmph, even if they didn't tell me, I would have known. I'm not blind, I can see for myself!"
That day, she saw a woman who looked like Qin San Niang walk in. To be absolutely sure, she squatted down in the corner and looked at the woman carefully. She was sure that it was Qin San Niang, and that Guo Er next to her must be her lover!
Good heavens, this slut is so old, yet she still manages to seduce young girls. She really is a vixen! No wonder Wang Dalang was also seduced and lost his mind back then!
Chen Xiaoyun wanted to rush out and confront her, but then she thought about it again. These were all Guo Er's men. If they knew she had discovered their dirty secrets, it would probably be bad for her! This was unacceptable!
She kept quiet, thinking of going back to discuss with her mother-in-law, Qin, how to make Qin San Niang's veil ripped off in public.
As she was leaving, Qin San Niang seemed to sense something and glanced back, startling Chen Xiaoyun so much that she quickly retreated to the corner of the wall. However, Qin San Niang still managed to catch a glimpse of the corner of her skirt.
Qin San Niang seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed there were still some troublesome people in this charity hall! With a sigh, she thought, "It's alright. I'll see what you're planning to do. I'll meet force with force and water with earth. I'm not afraid of anything now!"
These past few days, she'd been spending all her time in her online space when she suddenly discovered a battlefield manual containing methods for making gunpowder and handguns. This discovery made her heart skip a beat. Good heavens, if she could make gunpowder, why would she need to play ball anymore! This would definitely be a leading lady role in a movie!
Look, their fighting strength has increased, and their mental fortitude has also grown stronger. Political power truly grows out of the barrel of a gun! Especially in times of chaos.
She had previously worried about what to do if she ran out of gunpowder in her space, but now that problem was solved! She needed to work hard to earn money and prepare for the production of gunpowder.
Jinxiulou
Looking at the sketches brought by Qin San Niang, Lan Yao nodded in satisfaction.
"Madam Qin is indeed intelligent and kind-hearted. I didn't expect you to come up with a new clothing design so quickly. To be honest, ever since our Jinxiu Pavilion used the new sample garment, business has been booming." After saying that, Lan Yao had someone present two hundred taels of silver to Madam Qin. They had known each other for more than a day and knew that she liked cash and disliked beating around the bush, so it was better to be direct.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony! I'm very pleased that business is so good. I hope that Young Master Lan can make a name for himself in Jiangzhou!" Qin San Niang congratulated Lan Yao with tea instead of wine, then drank the tea in her cup in one gulp and casually put the silver into her basket.
"This is all thanks to Madam Qin; I was just lucky! To be honest, I truly admire your free spirit and talent. It would be my honor to continue working with you." This is the art of speaking that Lan Yao possesses.
None of the young masters trained by powerful families are simple. This statement makes it seem as if they can't function without Qin San Niang, but of course, Qin San Niang wouldn't be complacent and quickly expressed her loyalty and attitude.
"Young master is too kind. The reason why Jinxiu Tower has achieved its current success is naturally due to the popularity and reputation it has built up over the years. My new clothes are just the icing on the cake. As for me, I am just a country woman, and I already feel honored to be able to cooperate with you."
However, though I am a common man, I still understand the meaning of trust and loyalty. Since we have signed a contract, as long as you abide by the agreement, I will naturally do the same and will not cooperate with any other company.
Now that Lan Yao has benefited and realized the importance of new clothing design, although his words are full of praise, Qin San Niang is not so oblivious and still needs to make things clear.
Sure enough, after hearing what she said, Lan Yao's expression improved even more! This young man had undergone a period of training and was more composed than before. Even his appearance had changed slightly. His arched eyebrows relaxed slightly, and his eyes sparkled with charm.
“Madam Qin is a wise woman; I was being presumptuous. By the way, while the style of the clothes is excellent, we are still having some difficulty in choosing the fabric. Our master is also struggling to find suitable fabric that can bring out the charm of the clothes. I wonder if you have any suggestions?” Lan Yao put on the demeanor of a humble junior, completely different from his shrewd and capable self just now.
"Well? I really don't know much about fabrics! But I think Young Master Lan should go to the fabric shop and see if he can find fabrics that will satisfy you. Besides, maybe our tailors have high standards. Aren't the clothes in the shop selling very well these days?" Qin San Niang said with a forced smile.
But in her heart she thought, "Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you!" Although she had books on dyeing cloth, she had no intention of getting involved in the industry. This little fox Lan Yao was clearly not someone to be easily fooled! He dared to try and trick her now, and he wanted her to teach him? Fine, the money was exchanged, and that was that. Luckily, she was smart enough not to be tied to him.
Lan Yao was different from Si Liren. Although the latter was shrewd in business, he was honest and kind at heart. Even though he had become successful, he still had to take care of his down-on-his-luck competitors. He couldn't bring himself to wipe out Chen Ji, who had repeatedly come to cause trouble, and he wanted to compete fairly and squarely.
Although in Qin San Niang's opinion, Si Li Ren was too indecisive, he was her best choice as a business partner at the moment.
Without a background or strong financial backing, if she were to cooperate with those powerful and influential people, she would inevitably become a pawn for these families to make money, and might even lose her life.
In short, she was simply not strong enough! If she possessed the ability to be richer than a country, whether in terms of wealth or martial prowess, she doubted that a brat like Lan Yao would dare to speak to her like that!
For the first time in her life, Qin San Niang had the ambition to rise above others, no longer confined to her corner as a small landowner. However, this thought was fleeting, so fleeting that she couldn't even grasp it herself.
As expected, Lan Yao didn't ask any further questions after hearing her words. In truth, he also felt that Qin San Niang couldn't be omnipotent; if she were, he would have to find a way to bring her under his command, no matter what! Otherwise, if such a capable person joined the enemy's side, wouldn't she be his death? Fortunately, Qin San Niang only possessed some minor talent, not extraordinary ability, which was good…
