He Yunxiao: ?
He went out for a walk and the gold and silver vouchers sold out immediately?
It sold for over ten thousand taels?
What kind of tycoon is this?
He Yunxiao asked incredulously, "Really?"
"real!"
Who bought it?
“There were three people. They were all tall and strong. One of them bought more than five thousand taels, and the other two each bought more than two thousand taels. In total, they bought eleven thousand eight hundred and fifty taels.”
He Yunxiao became increasingly puzzled as he listened, and asked, "Did you notice what they used to buy after they bought the gold and silver coupons?"
The maid shook her head. "They didn't buy anything. The three of them bought it and left immediately."
They just left? They only exchanged for gold and silver coupons without buying anything?
Isn't this just blatantly giving money away?
Aside from Li Qingmeng, the girl who provided the antidote, He Yunxiao didn't consider himself to know any nouveau riche who would casually spend ten thousand taels of silver. The antidote wouldn't come to his aid. Even if it did, she wouldn't bother to secretly buy it from someone else. She would definitely do it herself, arrogantly calling out, "He Yunxiao, come here and exchange this girl's silver notes!"
He Yunxiao couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.
Regardless of who this benefactor was, they truly pulled him back from the brink of collapse.
It was still early before nightfall, and encouraged by the 10,000 taels he had received that night, He Yunxiao immediately pulled aside the owners of the five partner shops to discuss countermeasures.
In short, it boils down to this: I'm rich now, and I'm going to subsidize the prices of your products. I'm going to drive the prices down to an unbelievable level, and sell them at a loss!
...
The capital of Yan was about a thousand miles away from the capital of Qi. Even if a message was sent by carrier pigeon, it would take two days for the Yan emperor to draft the document.
Jiang Wuyou sat in the room, resting her chin on her hand and gazing north.
Four days have passed since she sent her letter to the Yan Emperor, far exceeding the Emperor's usual response speed.
Normally, for any important or significant matters, this method was used to consult the Emperor of Yan. Only after the Emperor of Yan made a decision and sent a message to Yin Jing could Jiang Wuyou carry out the plan.
The matter of redeeming oneself and going to the Marquis's mansion.
She did have ulterior motives after all.
This matter should not have been of great importance; it should have been handled by spies who would slowly carry the message back to the Yan Kingdom.
But Jiang Wuyou couldn't wait ten or fifteen days for the letter to arrive. She was eager to know the Yan Emperor's attitude and whether he would allow her to redeem herself and go to the Marquis's mansion.
Therefore, an exception was made and a carrier pigeon was used to deliver the message.
Today is the fourth day since the letter was sent, and there has been no response from the Yan Emperor.
At twenty-five, a young woman is in the prime of her life, but Jiang Wuyou has been in Yinjing for almost six years. It's rare for a courtesan to remain popular for so long; Jiang Wuyou is an exception.
Even in Jiang Wuyou's current state, her figure and appearance have not faded, and her popularity as the top courtesan has never waned. With the certification from the Great Qi royal family, Sister Jiang's status as the top courtesan can easily continue for several more years.
However, six years was still too long for the special envoy of the Yan Emperor who came to Yinjing to take charge of the Yan Kingdom's spy network.
The longer Jiang Wuyou serves as the special envoy, the greater the chance that she will be exposed.
The State of Yan knew this, and so did Jiang Wuyou.
Replacing her is only a matter of time; the only uncertainty is whether "only a matter of time" will be another year or two.
Jiang Wuyou sat at the table, resting her chin on her hand, while drawing circles on the table with her other hand.
The Yan state was in no hurry to change its leader, nor was the Yan emperor in a hurry to change his leader, but she was anxious.
I'm 25 this year, 26 next year, and 27 the year after.
I wonder if anyone would want a 27-year-old young woman? She doesn't even dare to dream of becoming the principal wife of a marquis, but she doesn't want to end up not even being able to become a concubine.
"well."
Amidst a sudden gust of wind, Jiang Wuyou hunched over the table, arms crossed.
After lying down for a while, I felt uncomfortable from being squeezed, so I had to sit up again.
Staring at the spot blocking her view of his toes, Jiang Wuyou sighed, "Sigh, only men would like this kind of thing. It's so inconvenient. In the end, it all benefits that kid. Humph."
The thought of He Yunxiao made Jiang Wuyou's lips curl into a smile.
It seems that just thinking about it makes me very happy.
Just thinking about it won't satisfy your craving.
Jiang Wuyou secretly took out a wooden box from her room. When she opened it, it was full of small, torn pieces of paper.
She spread them out on the table and looked at them carefully; they were all messages related to He Yunxiao.
Given He Yunxiao's rank and status, if the Great Yan were to send someone to monitor him, the Great Qi would not only not stop him, but would be happy to see it happen. They would even praise He Yunxiao for successfully diverting the Yan Kingdom's attention, creating a large amount of useless information to confuse the public, and making a significant contribution to deceiving the Yan Kingdom's intelligence system.
The small pieces of paper on the table were not Jiang Wuyou using her limited power to ask people to pay special attention to He Yunxiao, but rather she had deliberately cut out the parts related to He Yunxiao while looking at other news.
Over time, this much has accumulated.
Each small piece of paper contained only a few words, or at most a single sentence. But looking at these things, Jiang Wuyou felt as if she were beside He Yunxiao. Since she couldn't leave Chunfeng Tower, she could only keep him company in this way.
For example, the latest version has been updated to "He Yunxiao has taken over the shops".
Jiang Wuyou could roughly guess why He Yunxiao wanted to open a shop and do business.
I had never seen him worry about money before, but ever since I talked to him about redeeming himself, he has started doing business to make money.
Jiang Wuyou watched as He Yunxiao silently took her words to heart, worked diligently and tirelessly without ever complaining. As she gazed at the piece of paper with the writing on it, her beautiful eyes transformed into two pools of intoxicating spring water.
