Instead, Qiu Sanniang was left out in the cold. However, Qiu Sanniang did not care. She just felt very uncomfortable during this meeting. It was not for anything else, but she felt that her destiny was starting to go sideways.
I originally thought that getting on Zhao Taohua was just like getting on an express train, but I didn't expect it to be a rocket. It was so exciting.
Soon, the conversation ended.
Mrs. Dong wanted to keep her for dinner, but Zhao Taohua declined politely. The two sides struck a perfect balance.
After sending Zhao Taohua and Qiu Sanniang away, Dong immediately instructed her subordinates, "This is confirmed. From now on, if this Madam Zhao asks to see me, I can directly bring her in if I'm at the mansion... Also, find someone to investigate Madam Zhao's background."
As long as the house is clean, everything will be fine.
Mrs. Dong, the county magistrate's wife, was actually really short of money. She only received a few salaries as an official, and she relied on her dowry shop. Unfortunately, Mrs. Dong was not a good businessman.
If they were to live a rich and prosperous life, it would be more than enough, but Dong's two sons were both studying in the capital, and they needed money to stay in the capital everywhere.
A county magistrate is an official here, but in the capital, he is nothing. Therefore, Dong needs more money to pave the way for her children.
As long as any of their children can gain a foothold in the capital, their family will not fall into decline.
Everyone has their own troubles.
Mrs. Dong's biggest worry was to find a respectable man who could make money without any effort. And finally, she found him.
…
As Zhao Taohua and Qiu Sanniang came out, Qiu Sanniang asked, "Didn't we say before that we would give Madam 30% of the profit?"
Seeing that she still didn't understand, Zhao Taohua explained every detail to Qiu Sanniang.
Qiu Sanniang didn't feel that it was serious.
"Sanniang's earlier worries were wrong. How could we easily impress someone like Madam? Only if there's long-term benefit will Madam sincerely seek it for us. As long as Madam is sincere, our business will naturally succeed."
Zhao Taohua said.
After parting with Qiu Sanniang, Zhao Taohua went directly to the teahouse to meet Zhao Erzhu and Zhao Sanzhu, and then suggested that they buy a carriage. The Zhao family frequently went out of the county town, so buying a carriage was only a matter of time.
The three siblings hit it off immediately and got married, but they only discovered it after they got married.
"Why are there so few horses? Why has the price gone up? A carriage costs one hundred and thirty taels, why don't you just rob it?" This was definitely what people said to the Zhao family in the past.
Ru 㫇 also came out of Zhao Taohua's mouth.
"Wasn't it always around one hundred taels before?" Zhao Erzhu asked, thinking that the Ma people thought they were country people and were easy to bully, so they asked for an exorbitant price.
Seeing this, the waiter said indifferently, "Are you going to buy it or not? If you don't, you may not be able to buy it in half an hour."
"Why?"
"Don't you know? There's a war going on in Linzhou. All the horses from the government have been transferred to the military camp, but it still seems not enough. A lot of civilians have also been transferred. If there's an order from the higher-ups one day, even the horses won't be able to be saved," the clerk said helplessly.
"There's a war. Why is it happening?" Zhao Erzhu asked with great concern.
The clerk glared at her. "How would I know? I'm just a clerk, and I heard it from other merchants. But those are the private affairs of those big shots, so how could we know? So... are you going to buy it or not?"
"No……"
Zhao Sanzhu opened his mouth to refuse, saying that if they did not want to be taken advantage of, they might be fooled.
"purchase."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Taohua suddenly said it, because she remembered that in the original novel, during the autumn examination, there was indeed a war. Although it was not within the scope of their county, it caused a wave of discussion at the time.
However, the war was over after a month. However, despite the cessation, the price of horses remained high and it took a full month to return to normal prices.
So if they don’t buy it today, they will be even less likely to buy it in the future.
And this way, once a war breaks out, there will inevitably be bandits in the area, and carriages will be relatively safe.
Zhao Taohua immediately paid for a horse and a carriage, which cost her one hundred and ten taels in total. Finally, she asked Zhao Erzhu and Zhao Sanzhu to learn how to drive the carriage.
