He points out the flaws in the situation without any politeness.
He possesses a scholarly air of unbridled ambition and confidence.
It was as if the fate of the world was already in the hands of the three of them.
A few words can influence the course of the world.
Miss Qingqing has already toasted the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master Gu.
The three of them drank until their faces were flushed.
Mei Liulang smiled nonchalantly.
"After leaving my family, I traveled to the major cities and prefectures in the south, then to the bustling commercial towns, then to the remote and sparsely populated towns, and finally to the deserted villages that no one cared about..."
As I walk around, I encounter countless people of all kinds, but the number of those I truly click with is no more than a handful.
Among people their own age, the only ones they can truly connect and chat with are the Gu brothers.
Haha, let's drink a big toast!
The two men's expressions shifted slightly.
"Dry!"
Mei Liulang suddenly sighed again:
"I plan to buy another thousand bolts of silk from the Gu family and transport them to the southern prefectural city to sell. What do you two brothers think?"
Young Master Gu, his face flushed from drinking, looked excited upon hearing this.
"Brother Gu, you truly have a great spirit!"
Mei Liulang looked somewhat embarrassed.
"To be honest with you two brothers, although I am optimistic about Qianyunsha, there are always some conservative managers in the family who refuse to spend large sums of money with me."
That's why the payment I made to you was delayed some time ago; I finally managed to persuade you this time.
This matter requires consultation with the true head of the family, and it will take some time to communicate. Right now, I only have a few hundred taels of silver left.
Feeling ashamed, Gu brazenly admitted that he still had several hundred taels of silver left to do other things.
Could the remaining balance be paid a few days later...?
Young Master Gu was slightly taken aback.
The true intentions are revealed when the map is unrolled.
They've finally shown their true colors.
"this!"
Young Master Gu smiled and said, "I've decided to befriend Liu Lang. But I just want Liu Lang to know that the Gu family is just a small workshop. To put it bluntly, we can only manage to survive on a few hundred taels of silver."
"But if Liu Lang continues to buy and sell cloth from the Gu family without paying them, the Gu family's business will likely have a hard time operating..."
"learn!"
"I will definitely urge the steward in the family to hand over the silver as soon as possible. We can exchange money for goods at the same time, so everyone can rest assured."
A hearty laugh echoed outwards.
Mei Liulang was swaying unsteadily from drinking, his face flushed.
Young Master Gu smiled and said, "Why don't you rest here tonight, Sixth Brother? Let Miss Qingqing give you a good shoulder massage. You must have been working very hard on business these past few days!"
He gave Qingqing a meaningful look.
Qingqing quickly helped Mei Liulang into the side room.
She returned to the room and helped Mei Liulang lie down.
The girl, Qingqing, kept looking at him with drawn-out eyes.
She tilted her head, propped her chin up, her eyebrows and eyes were like silk, she looked at him with her eyes, her voice was charming, her legs were raised and swayed back and forth, her white feet gently rubbing the bamboo mat...
"Sixth Brother, do you perhaps own a shop in the prefectural city? Otherwise, why would you need so much Thousand Cloud Silk? It seems your business is doing very well."
Mei Liulang was drunk, lying flat on the bed, his eyes slightly narrowed, as he rubbed the other person's face.
"Hehe...did they send you?"
Qingqing's face stiffened slightly.
"To tell you the truth, the Gu family is too weak. The quality of their Qianyun yarn is incomparable to ordinary gauze. Its colors are vibrant, far surpassing those of other families in town."
It's just that the people in this town lack foresight; otherwise, there wouldn't be any room for other cloth shops to survive.
They don't know I'm in Yingzhou Prefecture, hehe..."
The young girl, Qingqing, quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Mei Liulang suddenly smiled, then looked at Qingqing with sudden wariness.
"Miss Qingqing... I'll perform a magic trick for you!"
The young woman, Qingqing, originally thought she would have to use her charms, but she also thought she could get some information in return.
Tilting her head, her rosy lips almost brushed against the other person's lips, and she intentionally or unintentionally used her small lips to wipe the other person's cheek.
But she had the air of a curious child, seemingly unaware of the allure and temptation she was emanating from her actions.
His breathing was heavy, and the air on the bed seemed sweeter and softer.
The man's voice came through, "He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow..."
Then a soft snoring sound began.
Qingqing was taken aback.
He shook the other person's body.
There was no response.
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea has passed again.
The snoring grew louder and more even.
The woman was speechless.
He then went outside the room.
Young Master Gu was slightly taken aback.
"So fast?"
"Second Young Master, this guy is too tight-lipped. He only said the three words 'Yingzhou Prefecture,' and he won't say another word..."
Young Master Gu's eyes were clear and bright. Although his face was slightly flushed, he was no longer the drunkard he had been just moments before.
"Yingzhou Mansion, Yingzhou Mansion?"
Young Master Gu's eyes were equally burning. "Could it be that he transported our Qianyun Silk to Yingzhou Prefecture to sell, or even opened a separate shop for himself?"
They even deliberately tricked us into transporting the goods to Songjiang Prefecture in the south to sell them!
Young Master Gu sneered.
"He's quite cunning, actually."
Young Master Gu moved his lips slightly, sending Miss Qingqing away.
Young Master Gu was suddenly taken aback. He looked at Miss Qingqing and then said to Granny Jia, "Damn it, give us our money back!"
Suddenly, Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason.
Young Master Gu teased, "Second Brother, why don't you take her into your room? That woman has an extremely supple figure; she's a rare beauty."
Qingqing wanted to tell Young Master Gu about Mei Liulang's strange act of pretending to be asleep earlier.
Suddenly I heard these words.
"Heh, it's just a thing that's been touched by who knows how many people. Five hundred taels? Is it inlaid with gold?"
"Do you know that I can find even better women in town, even better than this one, and marry more than a dozen..." He sneered, not caring about his voice at all.
The woman in the distance paused for a moment, clutching her handkerchief tightly, silently thinking: Gu Jia!
Unfortunately, it was all just wishful thinking.
Sigh!
Her jade fingers loosened.
A lingering sorrow clung to the woman's brow, a melancholy expression on her face.
The woman suddenly felt a strange sensation. The flirtatious Mei Liulang had only teased her with words and hands, but when he entered the room, he did not overstep any boundaries and did not seem like a lecherous demon.
Gu Erlang, who is gentle and polite, speaks softly and smiles warmly, actually sees himself as a plaything, using foul language, contempt, and mockery and insults to the extreme.
How ironic.
"Brother, if it really is in Yingzhou Prefecture, why go through Mei Liulang and let someone else benefit from your efforts?"
"you mean?"
In the dimly lit room.
Mei Liulang opened his eyes, which were bright and alert. He looked at the mosquito net above his head, and there was no trace of his drunken state just now.
With a slight smile: Dad, as expected, the fish has taken the bait.
