At the time, she also thought it was a delaying tactic by Song Shuyi. After all, the Song family had been in business for so many years and knew a lot of people. As long as they could buy some time, they might be able to raise the debts.
Surprisingly, it actually contained agarwood.
"It really is agarwood, and the quality is so good!"
The merchants also came forward one after another; they were discerning and immediately knew that the goods were all of high quality.
Now that Miss Song was confident, she said loudly, "You see now, my brother really did bring back agarwood, and he can definitely pay back all the debts he owes you!"
"Yes, yes, that's right. Young Master Song, how much do you want for these agarwood pieces?"
At this moment, the merchants' expressions all changed, and they all stepped forward with smiles on their faces to discuss, "Our family wants agarwood, can we place an order first?"
Agarwood is expensive not only because it is rare, but also because it takes a lot of effort to transport it from Qiongzhou to the capital.
The powerful and wealthy in Kyoto are not short of money, but they lack the finest agarwood.
Especially after the cold disaster, the journey was difficult, and the merchants who went to Qiongzhou to buy incense recently have not yet returned. It can be said that Song Shuyi's incense is the first batch to enter the capital this year!
The saying goes that scarcity increases value, and selling things is all about seizing the opportunity. If you can sell agarwood first, you can definitely make a fortune.
This is also why these merchants changed their tune so quickly.
"Damn it, how did those incense pieces end up in their hands?" The Song clan members were furious when they saw the agarwood.
They clearly had someone take them away and put them away, how could they have been found!
Also, what is the relationship between these two people and Song Shuyi?
At this moment, Song Shuyi recovered his composure and regained his composure as the eldest son of the Song family. He straightened his back and said, "It's no problem to talk business, but I just got back, and my mother and younger sister were also frightened. It's really not suitable for me to talk business."
"Yes, yes, now is indeed not a good time to talk business. Young Master Song, please rest well and we can talk another day."
The merchants' attitudes immediately changed, and they all left very readily.
The Song family members were furious at the sight, but they could only watch helplessly as Song Shuyi weathered the crisis without gaining anything in return.
"Walk!"
Song Zhengtian gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeve, and was about to leave with his Song clan members.
"stop!"
However, Ji Minxiu stopped him, glanced at Song Shuyi, and said calmly, "If I were you, I would completely sever ties with these people to prevent future troubles."
"Shut up! You're an outsider, stop stirring up trouble!" Upon hearing this, the Song clan member immediately became enraged and shouted at him.
"Lord Xue...Lord Xue is my benefactor, you'd better show him some respect!"
Upon seeing this, Song Shuyi immediately stepped forward to block Ji Minxiu and said coldly to the Song clan members, "Moreover, what Lord Xue said is correct. I don't need clan members like you who seize property after something happens at home and also bully my mother and sister. Today, I sever all ties with you!"
After saying that, Song Shuyi lifted the hem of his robe and cut it off without the slightest hesitation.
"You...you...you're doing great, you'll regret this!"
The Song clan members were all furious. They pointed at Song Shuyi and berated him for a long time, but in the end they only made a weak threat and left.
After all, they are truly ashamed right now.
"Mother, I acted impulsively just now." At this moment, Song Shuyi turned to look at Madam Song and apologized.
"Mother, what my brother did was right. If we don't sever ties with these people, what if they come and rob us of our property again when my brother goes out to do business?"
Miss Song quickly grabbed Madam Song's hand and said with a look of lingering fear.
Madam Song patted the second young lady's hand reassuringly, then looked at Song Shuyi and said, "I'm not the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong. Besides, from now on, you'll be in charge of our family, and we'll listen to you in everything."
Today's events have confirmed to her that her son has truly grown up.
"Thank you, Mother."
Song Shuyi's eyes reddened with emotion, and then he bowed deeply to Yun Zhourong and the other person. "I am so grateful to you both today, otherwise my mother, my younger sister and I would probably be homeless."
“Yes, you two are great benefactors of our Song family. Please come into our mansion so we can host a banquet to express our gratitude,” Madam Song said.
“Yes, Mother, my life was saved by Miss Yun. If she hadn’t found me in the sea and saved me from almost dying, you probably wouldn’t be here today,” Song Shuyi quickly added.
"I see. Miss Yun, please accept my bow."
Madam Song originally thought that Yun Zhourong and the other person were just friends that Song Shuyi had made on the road, but she did not expect that they were actually her saviors. That was truly a completely different story.
"Madam Song, you're too kind. As a doctor, saving lives is simply my duty." Yun Zhourong quickly stepped forward to help the person up.
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Madam Song wiped away her tears and said sincerely to Yun Zhourong, "Please stay and let us treat you well."
"Well... okay."
Seeing that Madam Yun insisted, Yun Zhourong and Ji Minxiu exchanged a glance and finally agreed.
The two were put in a guest room, while the Song family went to set up the memorial tablet for Master Song.
Having gone through something like this, Song Jia's family must have had a lot to say to each other, so the two of them didn't disturb them and stayed in their room.
“Alright, let’s stay for a few days and explore Kyoto,” Ji Minxiu said, taking a sip of tea.
“Yes, you can also take pictures of Kyoto’s scenery and compare them with modern Kyoto to see how they differ,” Yun Zhourong said with a smile.
However, it was this casual remark of hers that reminded Ji Minxiu.
Many modern buildings are difficult to repair after being damaged due to their age, mainly because many techniques have been lost.
Perhaps he could record these details, which would be very helpful for future generations in the restoration of ancient buildings.
Looking at the little girl's smiling face, Ji Minxiu couldn't help but reach out and pat her head. "You're such a lucky star."
Yun Zhourong didn't know why Ji Minxiu suddenly praised her, but she still happily replied, "Yes, my parents said the same thing."
"Yes, because Ruan Ruan is a lucky star who can bring good luck to those around her."
Ji Minxiu thought about it and realized that his luck had really been getting better and better since he met Yun Zhourong, and he had achieved everything he wanted to do.
"Then you are a lucky star too. You helped me, helped my family, and helped so many people in the Great Holy Dynasty." Yun Zhourong said with admiration in her eyes.
Ji Minxiu couldn't help but laugh at what she said and nodded, "Yes, Ruan Ruan is right. We are both lucky stars, so we are a match made in heaven."
