I wonder if this sixth princess knows that she has a royal brother who is living away from home?
But you should know that, right?
Otherwise, why would the wife of a mere county magistrate need to personally appear when consigning goods to a shop?
The reason she was able to come was probably because the Qiao family came from Anping County!
Qiao was still unaware of Fang Shizhong's true identity. After reflecting on the situation in the capital, she continued:
"Little Fish Sister, do you know?"
When I took out the ring you gave me, Madam Song took a liking to it.
She offered two thousand taels just for that ring.
Originally, I planned to sell some in the capital, and then sell the rest in Nanjing after the reputation there had grown.
Who would have thought that the capital city would be so unexpected?
I've brought out everything you gave me.
Ultimately, through the efforts of the Sixth Princess and Madam Song, those rare gems were sold for an astronomical price.
I don't know how it was done, but anyway, it sold for a total of 32,200 taels.
Having said that, she counted the silver notes and immediately handed the stack to Chi Yu.
“Little Fish Sister, the Sixth Princess said that the initial two thousand taels were not included in those thirty thousand taels.”
Therefore, of the remaining silver, Linglong Pavilion will take 30%, which is 9,060 taels.
This means that a total of 23,0140 taels remain.
Shamelessly, I used the 140 taels as travel expenses and to smooth things over so that the goods could be consigned to Linglong Pavilion for sale.
As for the remaining 23,000 taels, according to what we agreed on, give me 30%.
The remaining 16,100 taels are yours.
"The banknotes are all here. I just counted them twice. Count them again!"
For Qiao, making a trip to her family would bring her six or seven thousand taels of silver, which was truly worthwhile.
However, she left four thousand taels of that money for her parents.
She kept 500 taels for herself and had the remaining 1,500 taels exchanged for grain.
Her father was in the capital. He bought some things with three thousand taels of silver and went back to Nanjing to sell them. He didn't know what the final result would be.
Regardless, their family, through some unexpected means, managed to catch the eye of a powerful figure.
This is completely different from before, when they only dealt with housekeepers and stewards.
Before leaving, the sixth princess sent a maid to deliver a message.
Tell her that if she gets anything good in the future, she should just come to Linglong Pavilion and have the manager there pass on a message.
He even said he was very interested in the soap she was about to produce and gave her another token for it.
They told her to produce the goods and then transport some to Linglong Pavilion to sell, promising that she wouldn't lose money.
Of course, they only want scented soap there; they're not interested in that kind of plain soap.
For the Qiao family, that was enough.
Therefore, before she left, she asked her parents to collect more fresh flowers and perfumes after they returned to Jinling.
She didn't know if using scented powder to make soap would work; she would need to have someone try it to find out!
Chi Yu had no idea about any of this. She had a cooperation agreement with the Qiao family and trusted that they wouldn't cheat her.
Therefore, after receiving the silver notes, he counted them himself and then handed them to his sister.
After Chi Qiao confirmed it, she took it back and put it back into her space using the large sleeve pocket.
Seeing that she had accepted the silver, Madam Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and casually asked:
"Little Fish Sister, it's so hot everywhere right now, what brings you here?"
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Chi Yu shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just that Amu participated in the county examination before, and now he's here to participate in the prefectural examination."
"By the way, Sister Qiao, now that you're back from the capital, could you tell me what's going on outside?"
