Chapter 110 Strange Disease
Liangcheng ancestral residence.
"Master, Liang Jianwei has hung the people we sent to Anju Village on the city gate as a warning to the public. Should we send someone to capture Governor Liang..."
Having said that, Qian Youliang stretched out his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Seeing that Zong Hao did not respond, Qian Youliang looked sneaky:
"Master can also put a Gu on Liang Jianwei. Once he himself is poisoned, he will naturally stop helping the Gu family!"
What Qian Youliang didn't expect was that this statement made Zong Hao extremely angry:
"Idiot! The prefect was poisoned, and the first person outside to suspect was me, Zong Hao!"
Upon hearing this, the fat on Qian Youliang's face trembled, his face turned pale and he said:
"Master, please calm down. It was all my fault. I never thought that in the eyes of outsiders, you and Magistrate Liang are old enemies."
He is so stupid, how could he forget such an important thing!
A year ago, Zong Hao brought together wealthy businessmen and gentry in the city to hoard food and oppose Prefect Liang's efforts to control the disaster.
Zong Hao and his men undermined the other party's prestige and power in the city. Once Prefect Liang encountered an accident, ordinary people would definitely think of Zong Hao.
There is a difference between operating on the heads of ordinary people and operating on officials!
But Magistrate Liang cannot move. The Gu family has an iron wall inside and outside. All the people sent were seriously injured and captured alive, and they almost gave them away. Are they going to watch the Gu family be proud?
Thinking of the humiliation of being suppressed and beaten by Zuixianlou in the past year, and the restaurant business going from bad to worse, all thanks to Gu Feixue of the Gu family, Qian Youliang wished he could eat her flesh and blood alive!
Zong Hao narrowed his eyes and looked at the hatred in Qian Youliang's eyes, then said coldly:
"I have my own opinion on this matter. Please leave."
Liangcheng was in an uproar because of the poison incident. If he did not stop temporarily, it would probably attract the attention of the court.
Once he attracts the attention of Yuchi Shuo and exposes his master's biggest trump card, he will probably be in a state of being unable to live or die!
Qian Youliang was very reluctant to leave the Zong residence. Although he was reluctant, he had to listen to Zong Hao's words in order to get the antidote.
Jinxiu Yuyi Clothing Shop.
"Hey, you really came. It turns out that guy didn't lie to me."
Not long after Gu Feixue gave the token to Chun Fengmiao, she asked Li Tiezhu to go to the shop.
Li Tiezhu saw this and pretended to be ignorant and asked:
"May I ask what the lady wants from Mr. Li?"
Chun Fengmiao's tone was quite anxious when he heard this:
"I'm here to seek cooperation with you. The fabric for your embroidered feathered robe can also be provided by our Chun Family Cloth Shop. I can offer a lower price than the Wan Family, and the quality is definitely not worse than theirs!"
Chun Fengmiao finished speaking, but saw the shopkeeper Li in embroidered feathered clothes opposite him with a hint of apology on his face.
"I'm sorry, Miss Chun. A few days ago, Jinxiu signed a five-year contract with Wanjia Cloth Shop. The cooperation is a foregone conclusion."
Chun Fengmiao didn't expect that the other party's words were exactly the same as what the young man said in the morning.
While she couldn't hide her disappointment, she thought of the bamboo joint that the young man gave her in the morning. After thinking for a while, she asked the maid for the bamboo joint and handed it to Shopkeeper Li:
"Shopkeeper Li, this morning a young man asked me to give you this bamboo joint, saying that with it, we can cooperate with Jinxiu."
Li Tiezhu took the bamboo joint and nodded with a respectful expression:
"So you are an honored guest. Please come in, Miss Chun."
After saying this, he made a gesture of invitation and called several waiters to make tea and prepare snacks.
Chun Fengmiao felt more confident when he saw the drastic difference in the other party's attitude.
After both parties sat down in the reception room in Jinxiu's backyard, Chun Fengmiao asked anxiously:
"May I ask Shopkeeper Li, what about this cooperation?"
Li Tiezhu poured someone a cup of tea:
"Jinxiu can cooperate with the Chun family cloth shop, but not on fabrics, but on the rouge made by Miss Chun. Our master of Jinxiu can improve the formula of the Chun family rouge and hopes to cooperate with the Chun family to launch a rouge. The Chun family will provide the raw materials for the rouge, and the price will be paid according to the original price. The monthly quantity required is large, and if we can reach a cooperation, the profit we can get will be almost the same as the fabric."
Although Gu Feixue didn't know how to make traditional rouge, she had learned chemistry well in her previous life and knew some ways to purify cosmetics.
So she asked Li Tiezhu to discuss a form of cooperation with others, which was to directly buy and sell the finished product. After she came back, she would purify and improve the formula herself and then sell it for a second time.
"Ah? You want to cooperate with Chunjia Cloth Shop on rouge instead of fabric?"
It’s exactly the same as what that guy said. Who is that guy?
"Are you really willing to order in bulk? The rouge from Chun Family Cloth Shop isn't very popular in Liang City."
This is normal. After all, the Chun family does not specialize in rouge. If Chun Fengmiao had not been prone to rashes since childhood and had not caused rashes after using the rouge from the rouge shops in the city, she would not have learned to make rouge herself.
Although the rouge launched by the Chun family has been recognized by some customers in the city, it is still very different from those popular rouge shops.
Usually, Chun family rouge is given to guests as gifts when they buy fabrics.
"Don't worry, Miss Chun. My master wants to cooperate, so the required quantity of goods is inevitable."
Chun Fengmiao pondered for a while, and finally couldn't suppress his curiosity:
"Who is the master you have been talking about?"
Li Tiezhu heard this with a hint of pride:
"If my master, Miss Chun, is willing to cooperate, we will know then."
Chun Fengmiao gritted his teeth, thought for a while and finally made the decision:
"Okay, if you can buy it at the original price, I will cooperate with you!"
Even if the quantity the other party wants is not much, it is still a profit for the Chun family. After all, these rouge are usually only sold or given away as gifts, but now they can be sold at the same price as other rouge shops.
As for the cloth, Chun Fengmiao couldn't help but think of his mother, with a trace of melancholy on his face.
Seeing this, Li Tiezhu hinted:
"Mr. Li has something I'm not sure if I should ask."
Chun Fengmiao said calmly, "Shopkeeper Li, just ask whatever you want to ask."
"Nothing special, I just think that Chunjia Cloth Shop is one of the best cloth shops in Liangcheng. Why are you so anxious to seek cooperation now? What difficulties have you encountered?"
Chun Fengmiao thought about cooperating with Jinxiu soon, so he did not hide it:
"To be honest, my mother has been ill recently and can't look after the cloth shop. I don't understand the business side of things, and business has plummeted. Some customers have used this as an excuse to cancel their contracts and start contacting the Wan family. I was helpless and thought of you, Jinxiu."
Li Tiezhu nodded. This was exactly what his master had guessed. It seemed that Chun Yanlai, the head of the Chun family, was indeed ill.
When saying goodbye to Chun Fengmiao, Li Tiezhu did not forget what Gu Feixue had instructed and reminded her to go to Renhetang.
On this side, Chun Fengmiao went back to discuss the rouge order with her family, and mentioned the Renhetang in the city to her mother who was suffering from a strange disease.
"Miao'er, even the largest pharmacy in the city, Yonghetang, says it can't cure my mother's illness. Can Renhetang cure it?"
