Chapter 402: You said you wanted to cooperate with the Duan family?
Ran Qingxuan motioned for him to stretch out his hand, and after taking his pulse, he said, "To prevent any residual poison from remaining in your body, I think it would be better to draw blood for a check."
"Blood draw? Examination?" Duan Yi heard these words for the first time and was a little confused.
"I use the special potion I developed to check how much toxin is left in the blood so that I can prescribe the drug more accurately. Do you understand my explanation?"
"I didn't expect my sister-in-law to have such means. I am ignorant."
After saying that, Duan Yi stretched out his hand and placed it on the table, and then he saw Ran Qingxuan took something made of special materials and unpacked it.
A thin, soft and transparent object was connected to the silver needle. The strange thing was that blood actually flowed out after the silver needle was inserted.
"Is this glass in your hand?"
"Are you talking about this?" Ran Qingxuan shook the anticoagulant tube in his hand.
"Yes, this glass bottle is so transparent. If it were bigger, it would definitely be worth a lot of money if sold."
Ran Qingxuan looked at the pipe in his hand thoughtfully. After putting it away, he looked at Duan Yi and asked, "Except for your father, other relatives of your Duan family should be doing business, right?"
Duan Yi smiled helplessly: "What kind of business is this? If you were still doing business, why would the soldiers under my father be like this?"
"That's right..." Come to think of it, if the Duan family was very rich, why would they let those soldiers grow medicinal fields?
Perhaps we only need to give out a little every year so that the soldiers won't have to worry about three meals a day.
"It's time for dinner. How about I ask the shopkeeper to bring the food up?"
Seeing that Duan Yi seemed to want to have a drink, Ran Qingxuan didn't care. Gu Yanchen also wanted to have a good chat with him, so he nodded in agreement.
"My husband told me a little about the Duan family's situation. I originally thought that since so much time has passed and the late emperor has passed away, the Duan family shouldn't be...too poor..."
"I guess Brother Gu didn't tell you the whole story. My aunt's behavior was too rebellious. If she hadn't been afraid of being criticized, I'm afraid the Duan family would have disappeared from this world long ago."
"It seems that the late emperor has rewarded us, but in fact, the entire Cangzhou is the grave of our Duan family..."
Duan Yi looked depressed. From the moment Ran Qingxuan met him, he felt that apart from his noble status in the eyes of outsiders, Duan Yi's whole personality and words and deeds were no different from those of an ordinary young master.
Without that innate sense of superiority, no one would know even if he bore the title of Young Marquis.
“The Duan family cannot leave Cangzhou, and even if they want to do business, they can only do so in this place. Even if my grandfather’s family wants to earn more money to help, it will only be a drop in the bucket.
In addition, my grandparents are now old and have no interest in running the business, so the local shops in Cangzhou are basically run by my third uncle and his children. ”
"Now, in addition to the private soldiers under my father's command, the Duan family also has a title. It can be said that they can't get rich, but they are not poor either!"
Thinking of the Duan family's current situation and the soldiers he saw yesterday, Ran Qingxuan reached into his cloth bag and took out a transparent glass cup with a pattern on it.
"Take a look at this and estimate the price." Since my family has been in business before, it would be great if they didn't have a good eye.
Duan Yi raised his eyelids, and the next second his eyes widened.
"You can just put it in the cloth bag like this, you won't have to worry about it getting bumped or scratched!"
When Duan Yi took it, his heart was trembling, fearing that there would be a loud noise if he let go.
Ran Qingxuan didn't expect him to react so strongly. In fact, this thing was just an ordinary glass cup sold in the mall for about ten or twenty-one items. It just had patterns on it to make it look pretty. It was just an ordinary cup for drinking water.
The ancients called glass "liuli". Due to the lack of modern technology, even if they were manufactured, they were only of the lowest grade.
There are many impurities and it is not transparent enough, but even so, the glass cups that are occasionally produced are only collected by rich people once they come out. It may be a luxury for ordinary people to even take a look at them.
"If you take this cup to Wanbao Pavilion for auction, the lowest price will not be less than one thousand taels..."
Ran Qingxuan was a little shocked after hearing this. One thousand taels was more than enough for an ordinary family to spend their lifetime if they spent frugally.
Comparing a lifetime's expenses with a cup, she would never think that a cup could be worth so much money.
Seeing him reluctantly return the cup, Ran Qingxuan pushed it to him again.
"I have a lot of these cups, if you're willing we can make a deal.
I don’t ask how you sell it or to whom you sell it to. The quantity is limited, so you can think carefully about who you sell it to when the time comes! ”
Duan Yi thought he had heard it wrong and looked at Ran Qingxuan with wide eyes.
"Hey, are you stupid?" Ran Qingxuan waved his hand in front of his eyes.
"I didn't...hear it wrong..."
Duan Yi was so shocked that he stuttered: "You said you want to cooperate with the Duan family to sell this cup?"
"Yes, I think I have expressed it clearly, but I don't know your third uncle's character. You should discuss this matter with your family. Anyway, you are not weak now, so it shouldn't be that difficult for you to move around."
Duan Yi had a smile on his face, and he looked very happy.
Gu Yanchen felt somewhat uncomfortable watching this scene.
The situation of the Duan family is very similar to that of their Gu family. Not only do they have to work for the Northern Qi royal family, but they are also controlled by others. And all this is simply because of the imperial power that cannot be violated!
"One day your Duan family will break out of the cage, and Emperor Mingde will pay the price for his actions..."
Gu Yanchen murmured in a low voice, but Duan Yi was immersed in joy and did not hear it, but Ran Qingxuan who was standing next to him heard it.
He looked at the two of them with complicated eyes, knowing in his heart that they were both wanderers in this world.
"Don't just enjoy yourself, is that okay?"
"Okay, I'll go to Cangwu City tomorrow... No, after dinner I'll go find my grandfather and put the things in the largest shop. It will definitely attract people..."
Ran Qingxuan couldn't help but rolled his eyes and spoke.
"What's so attractive about it? Do you think you're just shopping at the market, waiting for people to come and buy?"
Duan Yi was stunned, his face full of confusion.
"Then how can we sell it? The whereabouts of Wanbao Pavilion are erratic, so this route will definitely not work..."
Ran Qingxuan looked at Gu Yanchen, who turned his face away uncomfortably.
Good man, it seems that we haven’t told him that he is the master of Wanbao Pavilion!
"If I sell it at Wanbao Pavilion, the commission alone will be quite high, it's not worth it..."
Gu Yanchen was also speaking the truth. Even though Wanbao Pavilion attracted the rich and powerful, everyone still had to open their mouths to eat, and the same went for those who collected intelligence under Wanbao Pavilion.
Even if he didn't charge any commission, Wanbao Pavilion had gone to other places to collect information since they left Shuangling City last time. Even if they went to Cangzhou, it would take more than a day or two to get there.
"If not in the shop, where else can it be placed?"
"Hey, I mean, even if you put it in the store, don't you know to advertise it beforehand?"
"What is propaganda?"
