Chapter 695 That day will not be too far away, you can wait
Xuantian Pavilion is known as the largest killer organization in the world, and it has always only recognized money and not people.
A token that can command all the staff in the branch, this gift is really too heavy.
Sang Zhixia didn't think she had such a great reputation from the bottom of her heart.
Sang Zhixia played with the token and asked in a playful tone, "Is that true?"
Tian Ying'er's eyes flickered.
Sang Zhixia smiled and said, "I don't know why, but I dare not accept such a valuable gift."
"Oh my god."
Tian Ying'er pushed Sang Zhixia's hand back, saying with a mixture of laughter and tears, "The reason is that my father said that he and Master Qi are old friends, a friendship that spans life and death. Since my sister is Master Qi's successor, it's natural that she's a guest of honor in my pavilion."
"Can you take it now with confidence?"
Old Qi did not go to Nanyun this time, but he used his many years of connections to pave the way for Sang Zhixia.
Sang Zhixia stroked the edge of the token with mixed feelings and whispered, "I understand."
"If you write to your family, please thank the Pavilion Master for his kindness on my behalf."
Tian Ying'er completed her father's instructions, then glared fiercely at Chen Jing'an, who had failed to kill her as she wished. As she passed by Chen Jing'an with her neck held high, she muttered through her teeth, "Just wait for me!"
"Wait until you finish what needs to be done, then I'll come and take your life!"
Chen Jingan: “…”
Chen Jing'an watched Tian Ying'er walk away, then looked at Sang Zhixia bitterly and said, "Sister-in-law, can't you help me persuade her?"
"When will the cycle of revenge end? I'm not..."
“Not really.”
Sang Zhixia put the token away and shrugged helplessly, "It's a personal grudge, you guys should handle it yourselves."
"Pack your things, and let's get ready to go."
Chen Jing'an got off the boat and walked onto the dock with a dejected look on his face.
Lin Yun and Xue Liu, who had received the news long ago, came early and when they saw a group of people coming towards them, they hurried to greet them.
"Young Master, the boss."
It has been several years since we last met in the northwest.
Sang Zhixia looked at Xue Liu, who was walking towards her with a big smile on her face. She was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, "Didn't I ask someone to send you medicine? What? Is the medicine useless?"
When Sang Zhixia first met Xue Liu, the man covered his face with a curtain to hide the hideous scars caused by the fire.
Although Mu Lian appeared less frequently later, Sang Zhixia always remembered the scars on Xue Liu's face, and later asked Old Qi to prescribe medicine for her.
But now it seems...
Xue Liu smiled cheerfully and said meaninglessly, "The medicine you sent is all good stuff. I used it for a short time and the marks have faded a lot, but I still want to keep this scar."
"Look, aren't all the other places healed?"
Compared to the devastation he once had, Xue Liu's face now only had a centipede-like scar on the side of his face, and it did look much better.
Sang Zhixia was speechless for a moment.
Xue Liu chuckled and said, "Boss, there are some things I don't want to forget, and I dare not forget them. Leaving a scar like this will help me remember more clearly, which is a good thing."
Xue Liu's husband, who died tragically in the Battle of Hongbei and was falsely accused of being a traitor, will always be a pain in her heart.
Being brutally silenced and almost dying in a sea of fire was a shame that Xue Liu would never forget.
If this last scar disappears, how many people will still remember the dead person?
Xue Liu said calmly under Sang Zhixia's complicated gaze, "Boss, the day when the young master leads his troops to conquer Kyoto and achieve a resounding victory will be the day when countless wronged souls will be redeemed. I have patience."
"Young Master, what do you say?"
Xu Yu took Sang Zhixia's hand and gently shook it, saying calmly, "That day won't be too far away."
"You can wait."
Xue Liu smiled in relief: "In this case, I feel more at ease."
"Young Master, Boss, please follow us. The carriages and horses are ready outside the dock."
Xue Liu and Lin Yun have not been just wasting time in the south these past few years, and the results they have achieved can be seen at a glance.
After getting on the carriage and heading along the road leading out of the pier, Sang Zhixia saw several shops with the Sanyou logo through the window.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Xue Liu noticed Sang Zhixia's expression and explained, "This place is different from the North. Water transportation is the main mode of transport, so the dock is the busiest place."
"Near the docks and ferries where merchant ships come and go, most of the shops sell simple food. The prices are not expensive, and the emphasis is on daily consumption."
Boatmen and passengers passing by here often choose to have a quick meal to fill their stomachs.
In a place like this, overly elaborate plating and overly sophisticated dining procedures are an unnecessary hassle for most guests.
Therefore, after simplifying things, we focus on affordable and large quantities, and the daily income is also considerable.
Sang Zhixia lowered the curtain and said, "This arrangement is correct."
"Local gourmets who are serious about spending money on good food tend to go to well-known restaurants. We are outsiders, and it's hard to get a seat at a restaurant or a hotel, even if we have a good chef."
From another perspective, as long as you can make money, that's enough.
Xue Liu chuckled and said, "That's true."
"But if we're talking about a booming business, it must be our unique soap flower, rouge and powder cashmere blankets."
"Boss, you may not know this, but the batch of medicinal herbs I sent out a month ago were all exchanged with soap flowers from other medicine merchants."
"Or someone actively comes to us and asks us to exchange. We can exchange food, medicinal herbs, and cloth. The quantity and price can be negotiated very widely. It is more appropriate than buying directly with silver."
Sang Zhixia had never thought that soap flowers could be used as silver. She was surprised and said, "How could a small soap flower be so useful in the south?"
"big."
Xue Liu said with a smug smile: "No matter what good things they are, they have to be unique and rare."
"When we opened our first soap flower shop here, I gritted my teeth and set the price much higher than other places. Guess what happened?"
Sang Zhixia curled her lips in a flattering tone: "What's the matter?"
“Demand outstrips supply.”
Xue Liu sighed and said, "Most of the business here is a copy of the model you used to have in the north. The only changes are the prices and the decorative items."
"Didn't you acquire a lot of worthless jade materials after you arrived in Lingnan?"
"I ask a master craftsman to carve the jade into a box and put a few exquisite soap flowers in it. It's a unique and decent gift. The price naturally goes up, and even this is still not enough to sell."
Xue Liu gave a number, and Sang Zhixia secretly smacked her lips in amazement: "I've heard that the south is rich, but it turns out I was just too short-sighted."
Spending hundreds of taels of silver just for a few soap flowers, isn't that too extravagant?
Xue Liu sighed, "Yes, this place is richer than we originally thought."
"It's just the same everywhere. The rich live in luxury, while the poor freeze to death on the streets. All the money is in the hands of the nobles, while the common people struggle to survive."
Xue Liu mentioned the Nanxun Chamber of Commerce and couldn't help but sneer, "The seven major families in this chamber of commerce are all extremely wealthy, but there are also many unkind people who are rich and have never given up the idea of causing trouble for us."
"If you hadn't arranged so many things beforehand, after a few rounds of wrestling, we would have been crushed to the bone. How could we have waited until today?"
Sang Zhixia unconsciously stroked the floral embroidery on her cuffs and said slowly, "How much do you know about the Gui family of the Nanxun Chamber of Commerce, Patriarch Gui Sheng?"
"Tell me about it in detail."
