Chapter 285: Journey to Ancient Times 3



After calming himself down, Shopkeeper Huang sighed and declined.

"Looking at your face, you must be a kind person. You want to help me, and I appreciate your kindness.

"But in this way, I can't let you get involved."

No matter how wealthy a family is, they are still citizens of Daliang. This is the capital under the emperor's feet. She has offended a powerful official. Is it possible for her to escape the jurisdiction of the court in this world?

Therefore, Manager Huang felt that Hua Wanchi might have some background, but he probably didn't have much power.

Even if the royal family and nobles took action, they would have to pay a heavy price in front of the powerful.

Hua Wanchi didn't care at all. She would only stay for a month and couldn't really help much.

Now I am selling silk to Manager Huang just to make some money and alleviate the other party's difficulties for a period of time. Maybe during this time, the other party will have a solution.

As for what will happen to Manager Huang in the end, it has nothing to do with Hua Wanchi himself.

It is impossible to open such a large embroidery shop without some power behind it. Even if there is no power at the beginning, it should have existed after the operation and management.

Our ancestors introduced before that this dynasty was called Liang Dynasty. The founding emperor was named Duke of Liang in the previous dynasty, so this title was used after the new dynasty was established.

Also, because "liang" is a very commonly used word, there is no taboo when using it in daily life.

This dynasty was probably similar to the Song Dynasty, and commerce was quite developed.

Hua Wanchi smiled confidently, "Don't worry, boss. I'm in a special situation. Even if the emperor comes in person, I can still handle this business!"

This confident and ostentatious tone really surprised Manager Huang.

"May I know your surname, sir?"

"My last name is Hua."

Shopkeeper Huang's expression was serious: "Young Master Hua, the man I offended has the Prime Minister's backing and holds considerable power. Not everyone can afford to offend him."

Hua Wanchi was now curious: "How did Manager Huang offend him?"

Shopkeeper Huang sighed, "A month ago, Tian Yiren, the Deputy Transport Commissioner of the Jiangnan East Route, celebrated his mother's fiftieth birthday and asked our embroidery shop to help him embroider a picture of a hundred birds celebrating the birthday.

"It was just that we were embroidering for the Queen at the time, and the Queen's father had some grievances with him. We couldn't complete two orders at the same time within the specified time, so we rejected Tian Yiren.

"He has been holding a grudge against our embroidery shop."

Hua Wanchi seemed to be lost in thought. She wouldn't believe all of Huang's words, but she could believe half of them.

If it was just for this little grudge, Tian Yiren would not have done such a cruel thing. There must be some conflicts of interest involved.

But the same thing goes, what does this have to do with her, Hua Wanchi?

In short, she is not afraid at all!

Hua Wanchi showed no fear after hearing this and said directly: "Why should I be afraid? A mere deputy transport envoy can't do anything to me."

This is the nth time that Shopkeeper Huang has wanted to say: What a big tone!

However, since he could confidently say such arrogant words, the power behind him must not be underestimated. Shopkeeper Huang felt a little more at ease.

Hua Wanchi smiled and said, "The silk cloth will be delivered here at 11:00 AM tomorrow. The shopkeeper will send someone to move the goods."

Silk is actually divided into different fabrics, but Manager Huang doesn’t dare to pick one at the moment. After all, in this situation, it’s good enough to have any.

Silk fabrics are produced in Jiangnan. As long as the goods are from Jiangnan, they cannot escape Tian Yiren's control. Even if Manager Huang wants to pick some, he probably won't be able to choose.

Before Shopkeeper Huang could speak, Hua Wanchi smiled and said, "But the silk will be given to your manor. I don't want any gold or silver. I only want the most proud work of your embroiderer."

Shopkeeper Huang was stunned, a little bit unbelievable. He spent such a huge amount of money just to collect embroidery?

Regardless of whether it is worth it, doesn’t such a casual action seem a bit hasty?

It's totally unheard of.

For Shopkeeper Huang, this business doesn't look like a business, and the consumption doesn't look like consumption, which is simply incomprehensible.

In fact, there is no telling how many silk fabrics are piled up in Hua Wanchi's space. It is worth using them to exchange for some good things that cannot be bought in modern times. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever.

Hua Wanchi went to visit the best embroidery works again, and after seeing them, she had only one thought in her mind.

Awesome, buy it!

After visiting the embroidery shop, Hua Wanchi was very satisfied.

This is the joy of shopping!

The purchased items will be moved to Hua Wanchi's residence by the embroidery shop's employees later.

After leaving the embroidery shop, Hua Wanchi decided to go to a restaurant and order some good food to taste the craftsmanship of ancient people.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Hua Wanchi discovered a sneaky shadow hiding behind the wall.

She pretended not to see it and walked towards the restaurant in a swagger. Even if a thief got close to her, he would never be able to take a single penny from her!

What kind of good person would carry money with him if he had space?

Especially in ancient times, silver was very heavy.

As Hua Wanchi walked along, the sneaky shadow followed him all the way. Looking at him stealthily, he seemed to be not very old.

Suddenly, the shadow rushed over in a panic, and the dark little hands grabbed the purse hanging around Hua Wanchi's waist in a very unskillful manner.

Hua Wanchi immediately picked up the child and shouted, "Well, you're so young and you're stealing! You really haven't learned your lesson!"

The child who was picked up looked quite miserable. His clothes were torn, his face was covered in mud and blood, and there were wounds of various sizes on his body.

Hua Wanchi felt a pang of pain in her teeth as she looked at the miserable child.

"Little brat..."

After thinking about it, Hua Wanchi suddenly didn't know what to say. It seemed that persuading him not to steal things would not be a good idea. What if he just made a living by stealing?

"Kid, I'll let you go today. If I see you stealing things again, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"

Hua Wanchi said something vicious, stuffed a steamed bun into the little brat's hand, and threw him to the ground.

Just as she was about to leave, she found her foot was grabbed.

The child looked up from the ground and said pitifully: "Save me...someone wants to kill me."

"Wow!" Hua Wanchi was shocked.

"Who wants to kill you? I'll take you to see the authorities!"

Although she had read many novels, according to normal logic, no one would go to the trouble of killing a little kid who was so poor that he couldn't even afford to eat.

After all, there is no value in killing him, and he may not live long if he does not kill the child.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that there are extremely vicious criminals, so of course we should report the matter to the authorities.

Suddenly, a few strong men came over and cursed fiercely: "You little bastard! I just beat you up, and you don't even recognize your father!"

"Sir, this is my good-for-nothing son. I'm taking him away right now!"

After saying that, the burly man was about to pull the child up and take him away, but Hua Wanchi spoke out to stop him.

"etc!"

Looking at the expression on the other side, Hua Wanchi raised his eyebrows: "Your son stole ten taels of silver from me and just left like that? Since the master is here, let's go see the official now!"
