Chapter 95 Duan Tianji Arrives
As expected, Hui Niang immediately said, "Ask me."
"If your guess is confirmed, what will you, or more precisely, your family, do?" Chu Ci asked directly without any hesitation.
"I want to take my daughter back, but her father probably won't agree." When she said this, Hui Niang's face was full of sorrow.
Chu Ci knew that this was already the woman's limit. "I understand. Bring your daughter over tomorrow. If you are sure what you said is true, we will go to visit her. What do you think?"
Hui Niang hadn't expected Chu Ci to be so thoughtful about her daughter, and she burst into tears of gratitude. "Thank you, thank you."
Chu Ci didn't want to get entangled in favors with the other party, "Don't be polite, door-to-door service will cost an additional twenty coins, just prepare the money when the time comes."
However, the more this happened, the more grateful Hui Niang became. "Yes, yes. I will definitely be ready."
Chu Ci nodded: "Our doctors will be here tomorrow during the day, so remember not to arouse the other party's suspicion. Okay, you can go back now."
Hui Niang was once again grateful to Chu Ci for his reminder, and then she left excitedly.
After Hui Niang left, Yuan Niang also put away her respectful attitude and sat nonchalantly on the other side of the table. "Boss, if you keep doing business like this, we're going to lose a lot of money, right?"
Chu Ci rolled her eyes upon hearing this. "If you don't understand my intentions, why are you cooperating so enthusiastically? Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Yuan Niang chuckled, her originally dignified and majestic temperament completely gone, and even a bit more vulgar. "It's nothing, it's just that some customers asked if I sell erotic pictures, and I thought, hey, boss, you know."
Chu Ci, having lived in an era of information explosion in his previous life, naturally had no prejudice against erotica. "Go ahead and paint it. Well, you have to focus on the delicate expression of emotion, and when you print it, it has to be in color."
Sure enough, Yuanniang's eyes sparkled, "As expected, the boss is still good at playing. Okay, I'll do it right away."
However, just as Yuanniang was about to leave, Chu Ci stopped her and said, "Go and select a few people with good character and medical skills to serve as honorary doctors for our 'pre-marital training'."
Upon hearing this, Yuanniang couldn't help but sigh, "Boss, your business is getting bigger and bigger. Are you sure you have enough money?"
"Yuan Niang, you are underestimating your wife." Chu Ci said as he straightened his back.
Apart from the huge profits that the medicinal wine would bring, Hu Ziyan had already made South Pearl famous in Beijing. Today, South Pearl is so hard to come by.
"Your boss has plenty of money. So, Yuanniang, just follow me and be at ease!"
Yuanniang's curiosity was even stronger now. "Madam, how about you reveal a little bit? It would put a layman like me at ease."
Chu Ci smiled mysteriously and asked, "Yuan Niang, have you heard of the name of Nanzhu?"
"Southern pearls? Pearls of the same quality as Northern pearls?" Yuanniang reacted quickly and guessed it almost right in the blink of an eye.
Chu Ci nodded proudly, "What if I told you that I could not only find them but also breed them on a large scale?"
Yuanniang didn't dare to say anything at this moment. She just hated herself for being so talkative.
Yuanniang quickly stood up and closed the doors and windows before asking Chu Ci, "Master, you haven't told anyone else about such an important matter, have you?"
Chu Ci: "Do I look stupid? You're the one who insisted on asking. Who was it for?"
Yuanniang was indeed in the wrong this time, but she was really just curious! "I'm sorry, I'll try to be less talkative in the future."
Chu Ci laughed at this. He had never expected that the usually open-minded Yuanniang would be so nervous. "Yuanniang, how do you think the value of movable type printing compares to that of Nanzhu?"
Yuanniang was stunned when she heard this, but Chu Ci continued, "How about comparing it to potatoes?"
Yuanniang's expression was indescribable. "Not worth mentioning."
"So, just calm down. As long as I am still valuable, the old emperor will not let anyone touch me. What's more, I have Grandpa Chu, Great Grandpa, and your help now." Chu Ci was quite open-minded about this.
It was really hard to evaluate this. Yuanniang tried to adjust herself and forced a stiff smile. "Boss, you, you are really great."
Chu Ci knew Yuanniang wasn't complimenting her, but she insisted on taking it as a compliment. "Isn't this natural?"
Yuanniang really couldn't help it, and just when she was about to start talking back.
Bang, bang, bang, bang—
"Madam, are you in there?" It was Fan Jingrui who came over.
Yuanniang was suddenly startled and quickly walked to the door and opened it. "Yes, yes. The boss is inside. Please come in, young master!"
Fan Jingrui nodded in thanks and walked into the room without a word. "Madam, Senior Dugu and Uncle Tianji are here."
"Why would Uncle Tianji come to Lianzhou? Did he go to Yazhou and then rush here?" Chu Ci was happy to hear the long-awaited news, but he was more confused.
Fan Jingrui did not hide it: "It was Grandpa. He thought you might need Uncle Tianji's help, so he sent a letter to Uncle Shi."
Chu Ci sighed in her heart. Sure enough, Master Fan had not wasted his time in the court. Then, she did not want to delay for a moment: "Let's go, let's go back."
Yuanniang: Does this mean she has escaped a disaster?
Patting her chest, Yuanniang completed the task assigned by Chu Ci as quickly as possible.
Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui returned to the yard as quickly as possible. Gu Dulie and Duan Tianji had been waiting in Chu Ci's yard for a long time.
Both parties were people who disliked hypocritical courtesy, so after a few simple greetings, they went straight to the point.
"Senior Gu Du, Uncle Tian Ji. You guys came just in time. I need Uncle Tian Ji's connections right now."
Chu Ci didn't say anything polite. Duan Tianji was already grateful to Chu Ci, so he said directly, "What do you need me to do?"
Seeing that Chu Ci didn't mention him, Gu Dulie said unwillingly, "Don't underestimate an old man like me. I, Dugu Lie, do have some connections."
What a lovely old man! If Chu Ci was polite now, he might think he looked down on him! Chu Ci suppressed his laughter and immediately asked, "Does Senior Gu Du have any connections in the army?"
Chu Ci had just asked casually, but he didn't expect the old man to throw out a big question as soon as he opened his mouth. "Yes, is General Yuan Xu, the Eastern Guardian, okay?"
"Sure." Chu Ci responded, then continued, "Senior Dugu, Uncle Tianji, I have an item that can reduce the chance of wound infection, as well as potatoes. I can also give them some first. Could you two please ask them if they are willing to trade with me?"
