Chapter 126 Han Susu is back
The cold wind blew up snowflakes, covering the imperial city with a layer of silver.
The best golden charcoal was burning in the private room of Yunke Ferry, and Xiao Fuguang was drinking hot tea slowly.
"Another year is coming to an end."
Liu Yue spoke from the side.
"Yes, time flies, Miss. Liu Yue hasn't seen you for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang reached out and took her hand.
"Come, sit down too."
Then he glanced at Xingyue who was standing beside him.
"Xingyue sits down too."
"Before Susu comes, let's have some tea and chat."
They both sat down.
Liu Yue spoke with a smile.
"Han Dongjia is quite capable. A woman has become a major merchant in the Northern Territory. The woolen cotton coats she makes are very popular in the Northern Territory. The ones she brings back are all sold out in the Imperial City. There is simply not enough to sell."
Xiao Fuguang smiled and spoke when he heard this.
"As long as she doesn't get involved in love in this life, her career will be smooth sailing. Men are unlucky for her."
Liu Yue smiled and spoke after hearing this.
"It's not that men are unlucky for her, it's that men are born to be unlucky for women. Look, those who are obsessed with men have all become resentful women, while women without men are thriving."
Xingyue was also joking on the side.
"So our Liu Yue is now thriving, managing so many people for the princess."
After hearing this, Liu Yue's smile became even more intense.
"So I'd rather be a maid by your side my whole life than get married."
"Now when I'm out, everyone has to respectfully address me as Miss Liuyue."
Xingyue smiled even more after hearing this.
"Yes, yes, Miss Liu Yue is amazing."
Xiao Fuguang looked at the two of them playing around, and shook his head slightly with a smile in his eyes. It had been a long time since he saw these two people.
“You guys, really are…”
"Liu Yue, tell me about the current situation!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yue stopped playing around and spoke seriously.
"Miss, I have trained quite a few people these days. They have all fallen into the hands of human traffickers and then gone to various mansions to do odd jobs. However, these people have not been trained for long enough, so for now they can only do some rough work."
When Xiao Fuguang heard this, a gleam of light flashed across his face.
"No rush, take your time, we have plenty of time."
Liu Yue nodded and continued speaking.
"But Su Yan is very cautious. We haven't found an opportunity to put someone next to him yet. We even asked him to save a beautiful girl once, but he didn't bring her back."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang held the teacup and thought, well, he has grown a brain after being reborn.
"If you can't find a suitable opportunity for now, then don't look for it. Train a few beautiful girls and send them to Prince Rong."
Liu Yue's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"The young lady meant to use Prince Rong's hand to send her someone."
Xiao Fuguang nodded slightly, a meaningful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"That's right. Prince Rong is lustful, cruel, yet also suspicious and cautious. It would be too difficult to release someone directly to Su Yan, but if we go through Prince Rong, things will become much simpler."
Xingyue spoke up as if she understood what he said.
"Now that Su Yan is the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, Prince Rong and the Yao family will definitely support him all the way. Su Yan does have some abilities, but Prince Rong will also doubt his loyalty and will naturally place people around him."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang looked at Xingyue and praised her.
"Well, our Xingyue is getting smarter now."
Xingyue spoke upon hearing this.
"Princess, I used to be less talkative. Now that Liu Yue is busy with the takeout, I must be more energetic so that I can share your worries."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang looked at her, smiled, and continued to speak to Liu Yue.
"The person you choose must be smart. This is Mission Impossible."
Liu Yue heard this and spoke.
"Don't worry, Miss. I will be very careful and cautious."
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Xingyue then stood up and went out to speak.
Han Susu spoke with a smile on her face.
"Miss Xingyue, I'm here to see the young lady."
Xingyue quickly moved aside.
"Mr. Han, please come in. The young lady has been waiting for you for a long time."
When Xiao Fuguang looked up, he saw Han Susu walking in with a radiant face. She was completely different from the resentful woman she had been in before, and her whole spirit was particularly good.
"Long time no see, Mr. Han."
Han Susu stepped forward and bowed.
"Meet Miss Xiao."
Xiao Fuguang greeted with a smile.
"Come and sit down. You've been busy till now. Aren't you tired?"
Then he gave the order.
"Xingyue, have someone serve the food."
Han Susu spoke respectfully.
"Thank you, Miss Xiao."
Then he sat down aside.
Liu Yue had already quietly retreated and gone back to work.
Han Susu sat down and took out an account book.
"Ms. Xiao, here are the records of wool being made into cotton-padded coats and sweaters, as well as their sales this year. Please have a look."
Xiao Fuguang picked it up and casually opened it to take a look.
"Just assume I've seen it."
Then he took Han Susu's hand.
"You got frostbite?"
I saw that Han Susu had several small, red and swollen chilblains on her hands.
Han Susu gently withdrew her hand and said with a smile.
"It's okay. I was busy during the winter and didn't have time to pay attention."
Then he met Xiao Fuguang's gaze.
"Miss, as long as I can earn money, this little hardship is nothing."
"When I was in the North, I kept buying wool. I wasn't confident, but you, my lady, gave me so much money. I couldn't let you down. It wasn't until we arrived in the Imperial City and saw our clothes being snapped up that I finally felt at ease."
Xiao Fuguang held her hand tightly.
"You're a hard worker, so you'll be rewarded, but you still have to take care of yourself. How are your sales going now?"
Miss Xiao would not ask such a question if she had just taken a look at the account book. Han Susu picked up the account book on the table and turned to the last two pages.
"Look, miss, we've sold out. There's still half a month until the Chinese New Year, so we have no choice but to close our shop."
Xiao Fuguang smiled and spoke when he heard this.
"Just think of it as a vacation for yourself. Have a good rest. Next year, we'll buy more wool and make more clothes to ship to the Imperial City."
Han Susu nodded after hearing this.
"I have signed agreements with most wool merchants, and they will supply us with large quantities of wool next year."
"Besides our wool business, the other booming business in the North this year is grain. A large number of people from Beipan came to buy snacks, and the grain in the North was already in short supply. Suddenly, a Huaji Rice Shop entered the North and quickly established itself there."
When Xiao Fuguang heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes. His uncle acted very quickly.
"How is the training of personnel in the North?"
Han Susu smiled and spoke after hearing this.
"My two shopkeepers are now capable of handling matters on their own. I want to stay in the Imperial City for a while to accompany Xixi."
Then his eyes turned cold.
"It's time to settle some accounts."
Xiao Fuguang nodded when he heard this.
"It's indeed time. I'll have Liu Yue arrange two people to protect your safety."
Upon hearing this, Han Susu hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Thank you, Miss."
Xiao Fuguang helped her up with his own hands.
"Don't be so polite. You've helped me earn so much money. We're helping each other."
Han Susu spoke upon hearing this.
"It is my honor to serve you, young lady."
As the shopkeeper brought the dishes, the table was filled with fragrance. Xiao Fuguang and Han Susu had their meal together and then returned to the palace. After all, there might be something good happening soon.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
The Regent's Palace was quiet.
A man in black quickly flashed through the secluded backyard and headed straight for Zhuang Linan's yard...
