Jiang Huaifu picked up the teacup on the table, brought it to his lips, and took a small sip.
“Nanzhao is indeed wealthy, and unlike Xizhou, it does not have to pay tribute to the Central Plains every year. It is just that its territory is smaller, but if the people can live in peace and prosperity and are free from war and strife, what does the size of the territory matter to them?”
Song He'er smiled calmly, "You and I are from completely different places, and now we're actually discussing national affairs together. It's somewhat ironic..."
“A true man has no shame before Heaven or man, so why can’t he face others with honesty? Besides, I am also a man who cares about the world. Not to mention the people of my Western Continent, I will do my best to help the people of Nanzhao and the Central Plains if they are in trouble.”
"really?"
"Otherwise, you would have died by my hand long ago."
Upon hearing this, Song He'er was speechless.
She turned her head and continued to stare at the small vendors coming and going downstairs.
Before long, a woman from Nanzhao wearing a red long gown was seen going directly into the first floor.
Song He'er was captivated by her graceful figure and lithe gait. She turned to Jiang Huaifu and smiled, "Indeed, the South is full of beauties, and these are gentle and tender beauties. Look at her clothes, they are truly beautiful!"
Jiang Huaifu looked at her and said, "Since you like it, take the silk you just bought back. Make clothes out of it and wear it. It will look just as good on you."
"I... I certainly won't wear it. I'm not the same age as her. Although red is a pretty color, it's too bright. At my age, I look better in pale yellow or peach pink! They're also more appropriate for my status."
Jiang Huaifu shook his head helplessly and stopped talking.
Song He'er thought she and the woman had only met once, but in an instant, that bright and beautiful figure appeared beside her.
Song He'er was a little dazed. She shifted her gaze to Jiang Huaifu, only to see that his face was expressionless and his eyes were calm as water.
"Young master, all your goods have arrived. Would you have time to come with me to the warehouse today to take a look?"
goods?
Song He'er instantly understood; it seemed this person had brought her out to do business...
Before Jiang Huaifu could speak, the servant behind him advised him directly, "Young master, we shouldn't be too conspicuous, and we definitely shouldn't go to crowded places..."
The woman in red seemed unwilling to give up, insisting on taking him away. "Young master, the shipment volume is too large, and we have already bought up most of the supply. Before the payment is settled, you still need to inspect the goods in person."
Jiang Huaifu was still undecided, so he turned his eyes to Song He'er and stared at her quietly.
To be honest, Song He'er really wanted to go and take a look. After all, she had come all the way to Nanzhao, so she naturally wanted to stroll around the market. However, what the servant said was right. They were foreigners and should not be too ostentatious.
"Where is that warehouse? How far is it from here?" Song He'er asked.
The woman in red was slightly taken aback, seemingly unable to react to Song He'er's sudden question.
It's not her fault. Jiang Huaifu used to come alone, but this time he brought a beautiful woman, which made her think a lot.
"And who is this lady?"
“I am her sister.”
"Oh, so you are the young master's sister. The warehouse is not far from here, just in a quiet suburb. We have carriages and horses, and can take you there."
Song He'er pondered the matter, wanting to go and see, but also afraid that returning late would worry Qin Xiaoniang. In this dilemma, she didn't know what to do.
“It’ll only take half an hour to go and back, it won’t take up your time. If you want to see it, let’s go together…” Jiang Huaifu suddenly said.
Song He'er breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in the direction of the woman in red. "Please lead the way, miss."
"Alright, please follow me..."
For safety reasons, Jiang Huaifu's servant followed closely behind him and never left his side.
The carriage traveled through the bustling market for about half an hour before arriving at a courtyard. The enticing aroma made Song He'er frown.
What does it taste like?
"Oh, this is the fragrance coming from our dye shop. Everyone's probably busy working. It's alright."
Jiang Huaifu patted her on the shoulder, indicating that she shouldn't worry too much.
"These are just the smells of ordinary dyes, it's fine. If you don't like them, just put on your cap, and it will be better."
"Um."
Song He'er nodded without speaking, and followed the woman in red step by step into the courtyard...
"The boss is here! We've completed all the tasks you assigned, and they're right here in the warehouse. You can inspect them anytime!"
As soon as I entered, a slightly plump woman walked towards me. She was wearing a silk robe and had a rosy complexion. She was probably the housekeeper of this courtyard.
......
