Chapter 35: Battle for Yunjin
Yuan couldn't drink alcohol, so she used grape wine instead.
Because of the good environment at home, her cough has been significantly relieved and she can sit at the table when eating.
The three women chatted and laughed, looking extremely comfortable and relaxed.
At noon, Fu Danjun was slightly tipsy.
Lan Fang was about to help her back to her room to rest when the shop assistant suddenly ran over and said, "Miss, something terrible has happened. The shopkeeper sent me for help."
Seeing the waiter's flustered and unresponsive behavior, Fu Danjun couldn't help but scold him: "Sit down and talk properly, isn't the sky falling?"
Then he told Lan Fang to wring out a hot towel handle for him. As the clerk wiped his face, he said, "Two great Buddhas have come to our shop: Princess Baohua and Madam Li from the household of the Minister of Revenue. They're fighting over Yunjin, and the shopkeeper doesn't dare to offend anyone, so he sent me back to get the young lady to make the final decision."
Fu Danjun was also quite surprised when he heard this. The wife of the Minister of Revenue was not a big deal.
Princess Baohua is the daughter of Princess Xie Huan, and Xie Huan is Xie Changsheng's aunt. Who can afford to offend her?
So Fu Danjun hurried to the cloth shop in a car, frowning all the way: "That Madam Li must be the one Li Xiuyuan abandoned Yuan to marry. Remember not to tell Yuan, so as not to make her worry too much."
Lan Fang agreed: "Don't worry, miss."
At this time, only Princess Baohua, Madam Li and their servants were left in the cloth shop.
The shopkeeper knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up. The atmosphere between the two sides was tense.
When Fu Danjun came in, the shopkeeper almost burst into tears: "Miss, please deal with it quickly. I really can't do anything."
Fu Danjun smiled calmly, paid his respects to Princess Baohua, and then greeted Madam Li.
Finally, she scolded the shopkeeper: "No wonder the distinguished guest is angry. Look at the tea you brewed. How can it be drunk?"
The shopkeeper was puzzled: "This is the best pre-rain Longjing tea, the best tea."
Fu Danjun scolded him again: "You old man, you have no knowledge at all. The best tea is called Gaoshan Dripping Snow. If you can't buy it outside, you should come to my house to ask for it."
Although Princess Baohua is arrogant and domineering, she is extremely smart.
Fu Danjun saw through this little trick of trying to ease the atmosphere and disdained it.
Mrs. Li was fooled: "What kind of tea is this Gao Shan Di Xue? It sounds good."
Fu Danjun quickly took advantage of the opportunity and said, "If my wife likes it, I'll have someone send it to your house later."
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite."
Princess Baohua slammed the table and angrily shouted, "We're talking about fabrics now, why are you talking about tea leaves?"
Lan Fang was worried that the young lady would suffer, so she hurried forward and said, "Your Highness, my young lady doesn't know what happened. She heard the waiter say a few words and hurried over."
Princess Baohua glared: "Do I have to waste my breath to explain it all over again?"
Madam Li chuckled: "Just say it, it's not tiring. The reason is that the princess and I ordered Yunjin on the same day. I ordered it a quarter of an hour earlier, but when the princess ordered it, it was out of stock. But her servants started to play tricks on me. When I found out, I tried to be polite and sent the Yunjin back, thinking of giving it to the princess. Who knew that the princess's servants were so ungrateful and even scolded my servants. I suddenly didn't want to indulge them anymore and didn't want to promote their style. Who knew that when I went to pick it up again, your shopkeeper had already given it to the princess."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper knelt down and begged for mercy: "I was too quick, too rude, and in my old age, I forgot to register, which led to a misunderstanding between the two distinguished guests. It's all my fault."
Princess Baohua said: "Boss, please stand up. This matter is not your fault at all. It's the other party's fault for being fickle. I am a princess, and I don't want you to show off your style. Who do you think you are? You are the woman of a worthless Minister of Revenue. When you see me, you don't behave well and honestly, but you dare to show off your status."
This Madam Li is just a brainless person. Perhaps she relies on her husband's favor and the power of her family to think that she can teach Princess Baohua a lesson.
"My husband is the Minister of Revenue, but my father, Tang Caidie, is the Prime Minister. Even the Emperor has to respect him. Don't think you're such a big shot, you little princess."
Baohua was so angry that he jumped up and wanted to hit him.
Fu Danjun stopped them loudly: "My two distinguished guests, you are fighting over Yunjin in my shop, and I will handle the Yunjin issue. As for the rest of the disputes, please find another place. I, a commoner, cannot afford to take on such responsibility."
Both of them wanted to know how Fu Danjun would resolve the Yunjin dispute, so they stopped fighting and looked at her.
Fu Danjun waved his hand and said, "For now, we'll give each of you half of this batch of Yunjin. When the next batch arrives, we'll give you the full amount. I'll give you a 20% discount."
Tang Caidie was quite easy to talk to: "Okay, I agree."
Princess Baohua insisted on singing a different tune: "No, whether it's this batch or the next batch, I want them all."
Fu Danjun couldn't help but frown: "Princess, if you quarrel here, I think everyone in Kyoto will know. Fighting over a piece of cloud brocade, isn't it beneath your royal status? If you do as I say, I will give you a 50% discount and give it to you at a good price."
These words choked Princess Baohua so much that she was speechless. She also knew that it would be embarrassing if she continued to make a fuss.
So I decided to quit while I was ahead: "Humph, it's not that I'm tired, that's why I won't give up."
After saying that, he finally left with his men, and Tang Caidie also went home.
Fu Danjun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the shopkeeper had already fallen to the ground and fainted.
Lan Fang ran out to buy mung bean soup to quench the young lady's thirst and reduce her heat. After drinking two sips, Fu Danjun felt much more refreshed.
"So this is Li Xiuyuan's new wife. Tell Tietou to find out if Tang Caidie is lying."
In fact, Fu Danjun knew that Tang Caidie was unlikely to lie, after all, Princess Baohua was not easy to deceive.
She just couldn't believe that all this was true. Just as she had settled Yuan, Tang Caidie appeared.
What a wonderful fate this is
After two cups of tea, Tietou returned: "I've found out that Tang is indeed Li Xiuyuan's legal wife, and she is also the Prime Minister's daughter."
Fu Danjun smiled bitterly: "No need to ask, Li Xiuyuan must have abandoned the Yuan family in order to get close to the Prime Minister's daughter."
Lan Fang sighed: "Those who are loyal are usually butchers, and those who are unfaithful are usually scholars."
After returning home, Fu Danjun took a shower and rested first.
Both Yuan and Xu Yu sent people to greet her. Although they didn't know what had happened, they knew that she was busy and working hard.
Fu Danjun took a shower and ate something.
Then he went to the Yuan family to talk, but before he could even sit down, Tietou came to report: "Someone came to cause trouble, saying he was from Lord Li's family."
Yuan was stunned: "Which Lord Li?"
Fu Danjun patted her and comforted her: "I'll go take a look first."
It turned out that Tang Caidie became indignant again after returning home, feeling that Fu Danjun was biased towards Princess Baohua and could not swallow this humiliation.
So she asked someone to search for Fu Danjun's residence.
By chance, Jin Zhao was seen playing in front of the house.
Tang Caidie was angry about Yuan's disappearance and vowed to find her no matter whether it was in heaven or on earth.
As a result, he was hiding in Fu Danjun's house.
Since Jin Zhao was at Fu Danjun's house, Yuan was naturally there.
Tang Caidie was even more unwilling to let Fu Danjun go: "Use the excuse of demanding Yunjin to snatch Yuan out, and then give Fu Danjun a good beating."
Among the servants there was a leader named Zhao Er, who looked ferocious.
"Mr. Fu, hand over Yunjin quickly, or we'll go in and search."
