"Husband, how is it?"
As soon as the carriage arrived home, Song Qianqian quickly greeted her, her pretty face full of anticipation.
Lin Bai blinked, "Guess!"
The little goblin chuckled, raised her snow-white chin, and turned around to please Su Mingyue, "Sister!"
Su Mingyue covered her mouth and smiled softly, nodding.
"yeah!"
The little goblin suddenly shouted excitedly, "Sister, you are great."
In the evening, the servants prepared a large table of delicious food, and the little goblin was busy saying, "Come! Let's drink to my eldest sister's dream, our victory, and our home."
Su Mingyue smiled, "Although the agreement has been signed, everything has just begun. Next..."
The boss started planning and arranging tasks.
Seeing the three girls being so active, Lin Bai felt like a salted fish, but he was already happy.
After eating such a soft meal, lying down is not too much, right?
By the way, the girl in the back hall of Jiangning Weaving Bureau didn't know her background. Lin Bai felt that the bargaining situation was not good before, and he should do it again.
At the same time, Zhu Ziyan also felt that she had not performed well. She clearly said that she would pay 70% in advance and reduce the price by 10%. How did it end up with the interest paid by Sihai Bank?
Moreover, if you are a princess, why should you bargain with the other party?
The other party obviously came here for the order.
Zhu Ziyan felt at a loss.
"Princess, the matter has been settled, should we go back?"
Bai Ling asked from the side.
"It's almost there."
Zhu Ziyan nodded. She went to Jiangnan this time just for the matter of Sui Bu. It was now considered a success and there were some unexpected gains.
"Meet the princess!"
At this time, in the wing, a woman wearing a silver mask, covering the upper half of her face, appeared out of thin air. Her appearance could not be seen clearly, but her breath was cold, like a piece of ice.
Bai Ling was immediately overjoyed when he saw this, "Xiao Wu, we meet again."
Xiao Wu's face was expressionless.
But Bai Ling seems to have long been used to it. Both of them are close to the princess. The difference is that she is responsible for the princess's food and daily life, while Xiao Wu is responsible for the princess' safety.
"how?"
Zhu Ziyan asked.
Xiao Wu replied: "As the princess expected, Lin Jieyuan's words have reached the court. Three days ago, the leader and faction of the court denounced Lin Jieyuan for making irresponsible comments on government affairs and inciting people's hearts. His heart is to be punished, and he asked your Majesty to convict him."
"It's so presumptuous!"
Zhu Ziyan was furious when she heard this, "These bastards never think about how to share the worries of the court, they only want to eliminate dissidents."
After venting for a while, she asked again: "What happens next?"
Xiao Wu replied: "Fortunately, the Night King and the main war faction are supporting me. Jixia Xuegong Palace Master Qi Chunqiu Qi Daru also expressed support, saying that this is the integrity of scholars. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, there is no reactionary intention, and one should not be criticized for his words. Only after being convicted will the Lord He Faction stop."
"Qi Daru?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Zhu Ziyan's eyes. Unexpectedly, even Qi Daru was alarmed. It seemed that the controversy in the court was far more intense than imagined.
Right! Those remarks were tantamount to a slap in the face of the Lord and the sect. It would be strange if these people didn't become angry out of humiliation.
Zhu Ziyan said coldly: "I'm afraid the Lord Harmony Sect won't just give up like that, right?"
"The princess is wise!"
Xiao Wu replied, "My subordinates have received news that the main peace faction has taken action and is preparing to comprehensively suppress Lin Jieyuan. This textile machine incident is just the beginning."
"It was the unexpected appearance of the princess that caused their death."
"My subordinates have found out before coming here that Gu Zhengde, Liu Jingming of the Liu family, and Jiang Santong, the salt road supervisor, are meeting at Yipin Pavilion."
Zhu Ziyan's face was gloomy, "Liu family?"
Xiao Wu said: "That's right! The richest man in Jinling is the Liu family. The head of the family, Liu Jingwen, has a very good relationship with some officials in the capital. Liu Jingming is his younger brother and is known as the second master in Jinling."
Bai Ling frowned and said, "What do they want to do? Do they still want to take action against Su's Clothing Village?"
Xiao Wu said: "Probably not. Suibu was originally caused by the Lord He faction. They can't afford it if something goes wrong."
"And this is something that the princess has determined. If they are not tired of living, they will definitely not dare to do anything wrong."
Zhu Ziyan paused and then asked: "Besides Su's Buzhuang, what else does Lin Qingfeng have in Jinling?"
Xiao Wu thought for a while and replied: "Probably not, but the Women's Federation founded by his other two wives, Miss Qin, will be officially announced in a few days, and the women's school will start teaching on the same day."
"Besides, Miss Song..."
"..."
"What? Women's Federation?"
In a luxurious box in Yipin Pavilion, Gu Zhengde looked unwilling.
The two people with him, one of whom was richly dressed, wearing a precious jade ring on each hand, looked arrogant, were none other than Liu Jingming, the second master of the Liu family.
The other person looked gloomy and stern, and it was Jiang Santong, the supervisor of the Salt Road.
"Master Jiang, Second Master, can you please slow down this Women's Federation or something like that? Over at Su's Clothing Village..."
"Boss Gu, Su's Cloth Shop should be let go!"
Jiang Santong said, "There is no room for failure in a year's work. No one can bear the responsibility if something happens. Besides, do you know who that person is today? As the seventh princess of the dynasty, how can she change what she has determined?"
What?
Hearing this, Gu Zhengde's face suddenly turned livid. The seventh princess in charge of the House of Internal Affairs was famously iron-blooded, and no one dared to touch her brow.
No wonder, he finally understood why Cao Wenwen was so afraid. It turned out...
Liu Jingming smiled and said: "Boss Gu, why do you do this? In fact, this is a good thing. All the annual cloth orders have been taken by Su's Cloth Shop. You don't need to share the burden anymore. This saves you a lot of trouble."
"Moreover, your status as an imperial merchant has not been taken away. Didn't the Seventh Princess say fair competition? You can hang the brand of imperial merchant for the time being, and it will be finalized one year later."
That's true, but...
Just as Gu Zhengde was about to speak, Liu Jingming continued: "Liu knows what Boss Gu is worried about. It is nothing more than the textile machine. He is afraid that Changlong will be surpassed by Su's Cloth Shop."
"But why doesn't Boss Gu think about it? In order to complete such a large order, Su's Cloth Factory must expand greatly. Once there are more people, it will be difficult to keep the secret. As long as Boss Gu is willing to spend money, I believe it should not be difficult to get the textile machine." ?”
Hearing this, Gu Zhengde's eyes suddenly lit up.
No!
Why did he fall into a dead end? As long as there is a textile machine, there is still room for maneuver.
Liu Jingming continued: "What's more, we just don't move Su's Cloth Village for the time being. When the new year's cloth is handed over, we will have to do whatever we want. By then, Changlong may be able to annex Su's Clothing Village and become stronger in one fell swoop..."
"good!"
Jiang Santong nodded and said: "Buzhuang, please slow down for now. Lin is making such nonsense. The higher-ups will not give up easily. His reputation must be completely destroyed."
"The Women's Federation will officially announce its establishment in a few days. This is the first step of our plan. By then..."
