Chapter 194 Another Big Business Deal Is Coming
The woman handed the incense balls and incense burner to the maid, saying, "Look, I just bought these."
The maidservant quickly pulled her outside, saying, "Miss, Master said you can't run around like that."
After she finished speaking, she quickly bowed to say goodbye to Du Wanchun and Madam Xu.
Seeing the girl's back, Madam Xu laughed and said, "This little girl doesn't even recognize an incense burner. She's probably not from our Xuan Yue Kingdom."
Du Wanchun nodded. "Yes, I think they look like people from the Cheng Zhou Kingdom."
The Chengzhou Kingdom, relying on their Xuanyue Kingdom, has maintained a very peaceful relationship for hundreds of years without any war. However, the people of Chengzhou rarely come here, and this is the first time they have seen a young lady from a Chengzhou official family.
After leaving the incense shop, the woman followed the maid to the inn.
A group of high-ranking officials and nobles were staying at the inn, including the woman's father.
The woman's father was none other than the eldest prince of the Cheng Zhou Kingdom.
The State of Chengzhou was not as large as the State of Xuanyue, but it was very wealthy.
This woman was the only daughter of the eldest prince and the only princess of Chengzhou.
The princess found the palace too boring a few days ago, so she came to Cheng'an County.
She said this because several months ago she met a young general on her way to Xuan Yue Kingdom. She spent a few days with him and thought he was a good person, so she wanted to come to Cheng'an County to find him.
Unfortunately, she had just arrived in Cheng'an County when she heard that this young general had gone to the border region.
When she passed by the incense shop earlier, she noticed that the fragrance there was somewhat similar to that of the young general, so she went in and bought an incense burner and incense balls.
"Ling'er, what did you buy?" the First Prince asked her.
Nan Fengling handed the incense burner to the eldest prince and said with a smile, "Father, take a sniff. Isn't this fragrance quite unique?"
The eldest prince took a deep sniff and said, "It does smell quite nice. Where did you buy it?"
Nan Fengling said with a smile, "I bought it from Zhou Family Incense Shop, Father. Should we buy some to take back with us?"
The eldest prince stroked her head and said slowly, "If you like them, then buy some and take them back with you."
Nan Fengling replied with a smile, "Okay, Dad, I'll go buy some more."
After she finished speaking, she laughed and ran out.
The maidservant beside her immediately followed.
By the time Nan Fengling arrived at the shop, Du Anchun had already left.
She looked inside and, seeing no one, found Zhang Qiuhe and bought all the incense in her entire shop.
Zhang Qiuhe was shocked, thinking he had misheard, and quickly asked, "Miss, what did you say?"
Nanfeng Ling raised her eyebrows and smiled, "You mean you want to buy all the spices in your incense shop?"
Zhang Qiuhe walked up to her and said, "Are you really going to buy all the spices in our shop?"
Nan Fengling nodded. "That's right."
Zhang Qiuhe quickly took out her abacus and calculated, "Miss, it will take quite a bit of money to buy all the spices in our incense shop."
Nan Fengling smiled and said, "It's alright, whatever amount of silver you want, I'll give it to you."
Zhang Qiuhe paused for a moment, stared at her, and said, "It will probably cost three thousand taels of silver."
Three thousand taels of silver is not a small amount; it's rare for someone to spend that much money on spices.
Nan Fengling took out a stack of silver notes and said, "This is about three thousand taels. Please pack it all up for me and send someone to deliver it to the inn."
Zhang Qiuhe was stunned for a long time before she quickly said, "Yes, miss, don't worry, I'll send someone to deliver it right away."
Normally, it would take at least three months to sell out all the spices in a shop, but this girl bought them all.
After loading the spices onto the carriage, Zhang Qiuhe immediately returned to Changliu Village to tell Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun the good news.
Aunt Zhou was quite surprised. "You mean that girl bought all the incense in our shop?"
Zhang Qiuhe nodded. "Yes, a full three thousand taels of silver. She gave me a silver note and asked me to help her load the spices into the carriage before she left."
Aunt Zhou remarked, "This girl is clearly from a wealthy family; she just casually handed over a five-thousand-tael silver note."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Mother, this is good news. We've made another sum of money. Tomorrow, we'll have Ruiyuan send some more finished incense to the shop."
Aunt Zhou suddenly understood, "That works too, it just so happens that our incense shop has also made a new batch of incense."
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of a baby crying came from inside the house.
Aunt Zhou quickly got up to hug the child.
Zhang Qiuhe walked up to Du Wanchun and whispered, "Wanchun, I feel like there's something strange about that girl."
Du Wanchun asked, "What's strange?"
Zhang Qiuhe frowned and said, "What kind of young lady would buy so many spices and perfumes? These things can't be eaten as food."
Du Wanchun smiled and reassured her, "We exchanged money for goods. Whatever she wants to do is none of our business, so you don't need to worry too much."
Zhang Qiuhe breathed a sigh of relief. "That makes sense."
Nan Fengling did not do anything bad after buying so many things. After returning to Chengzhou, she gave away the fragrant spring water she had bought.
Before long, those who received the incense really liked the Zhou family's spices, and they all came to Nanfeng Ling to inquire where the incense came from.
Upon hearing that it was in Xuan Yue Kingdom, they all begged her to help them buy it.
Helpless, she decided to take some more time to come to Cheng'an County to buy some more incense.
