The two of them strolled on the street until noon. Su Wan felt a little tired, so he returned to Lan Xiyuan.
When I came back, I had already bought ice and put two pots in the dormitory early. The temperature inside was much lower than outside. It was cool and very comfortable. Su Wan finally had a peaceful sleep.
In the afternoon, she asked what interesting places there were in Shuxiangmei City, and then she made serious travel plans. Since she was already here, it would be a big loss if she didn’t look around.
In the next few days, the couple visited several good places to visit in Meicheng. During this period, Su Wan took him to a cloth shop and selected some good fabrics for embroidery. Mother made him some clothes.
She saw that the embroiderer was good at her craftsmanship, so she also ordered some autumn clothes for both her husband and wife. It is said that the autumn in Meicheng is quite cold, and the autumn wind is howling and chilly. Without autumn clothes, life would be difficult.
Li Lin stayed with her for a few days, and then took Yuanyou and others out to do his own business. Su Wan had been out for a few days and was too lazy to move, so he asked Shuxiang to invite a master to come over. I picked green plums in the yard and prepared to make some food.
There are many things that can be made with green plums, such as green plum wine, green plum dew, green plum tea, crisp plums, preserved fruits, candied fruits, dried fruits, jams, etc. Su Wan learned to make some from the master.
The green plum wine and green plum dew need to be sealed and brewed for a while to taste, and the rest can be eaten in a few days. The chef hired by Shuxiang is very good at the craftsmanship, and Su Wan is very satisfied after eating it.
It was until the beginning of July, and Li Lin hadn't come back yet. News came from Jiubian's side, saying that he wanted her to go to the escort agency to meet the leader. He was afraid that she would be bullied, so he accompanied her along the way. She takes a walk.
"As soon as I meet someone, I will tell her that she is my sister-in-law, and she will call me Brother Xu or Yun Gui. As for the young master, he is my eldest brother."
"If anyone else asks why it is the madam who comes out to do things, she will say that the young master is a scholar, can't lift his hands or carry it on his shoulders, and knows nothing about business. He is a weakling..."
At this point, he lowered his head and resisted the urge to laugh wildly.
The corner of Su Wan's mouth twitched, feeling that Li Lin was too indulgent towards these people, so much so that they all wanted to jump up and down to slander him: "You're probably itchy, and you're not afraid that if he comes back next time, you'll get angry. Will I throw you out to mine?"
Jiu Bian couldn't help but burst into laughter: "As long as Madam doesn't say anything, doesn't God know that you know and I know about this matter?"
Su Wan clasped his hands in front of him, glanced at him, and then looked him up and down: "Jiubian, I want you to understand one thing. Your son and I are husband and wife. How can we slander you together?" Damn it, next time I hear you say that, I will sell you."
Jiubian thought to himself that he had made a mistake. Why did he forget that these two people were husband and wife, as if they were one person.
"Anyway, if anyone asks, Madam will just say this. Anyway, the young master has eaten too much, and he doesn't care about eating more. When he was in the Imperial City, no one knew that he was a soft-eater, and he still He said he has bad teeth and would be more comfortable eating soft food."
Jiu Bian remembered that his young master used to look like he was enjoying a good meal, and his teeth were a little bit sore. He didn't blame him for being so insulting, right? He was used to it anyway.
Su Wan stretched out his hand and frowned: "Okay, if others ask, I will say that he is a scholar and not good at business, but you can't talk nonsense to others."
After all, he was her husband, and she still had to protect him.
Jiubian touched his nose and said yes, so the two of them went out together. Jiubian rode a horse and Su Wan took a carriage and went to a bragging escort agency in Meicheng.
This Yangwei Escort Agency has only been open for half a year, but the people in the Escort Agency are all fierce and gangster-like. They are very fierce, but they are also really capable. As long as they give enough money, they can go through the Endless Mountains.
Although the boss of the escort agency is the boss on the surface, he also has a boss in private, who is the bastard of a clan.
The young master had a close relationship with the eldest master, and they opened the escort agency together. The young master handled the chores of the escort bureau, and the eldest master was responsible for bringing people to escort the escorts. Since there had been no mistakes in escorting the escorts in the past six months, the business was also quite good. Not bad.
Jiu Bian had a good relationship with the young master, He Renda. They drank wine together, fisted each other, and called themselves brothers.
Su Wan was stunned for a moment when he saw the big boss. He was tall, had a scar on his face, and had a gangster air, as if he could risk his life at any time, and he was not easy to mess with.
Jiubian introduced the two sides: "This is the wife of one of my brothers. My brother's surname is Li. One of them is Mr. Shan, and the other is the head of the escort agency. Just call her Mr. Chai."
"Mrs. Li."
"Master Shan, Mr. Chai is in charge."
The two parties greeted each other and then went into the room to sit down and chat. Su Wan took off his curtain and hat, but he was not afraid at all. Since he wanted to discuss business, he couldn't be secretive and there was no sincerity at all.
Shan Gongzi's eyes flashed with surprise, he shook his fan and said to Jiu Debian with a smile: "Brother Xu's brother is really lucky to marry such a beautiful woman."
Jiubian laughed loudly: "Of course, he has a high level of vision, and even ordinary people will look down on him. That is to say, his sister-in-law caught his eye and married him eagerly."
Mr. Chai didn't react at all. He didn't have any feelings for delicate women. If it weren't for business and Mr. Xu's face, he wouldn't bother to socialize.
Su Wan didn't come in vain, and directly stated his purpose: "I heard that your escort agency can cross Wuwu Mountain. It just so happens that I have formed several cavalry teams here in Dong Zhao. I have some ideas about this matter. I don't know whether Master Shan or Master Chai how about?"
Mr. Shan shook his fan with a smile: "Mrs. Li's husband is Brother Xu's brother. Lao Chai and I always want to give him some face. It's not good to ask for too high a price. But nowadays, there are really not many escort agencies that can pass Wuwu Mountain. , I hope Mrs. Li will understand the danger involved."
Su Wan smiled and said: "I also have a team of horses. It's not easy to make money, so I understand. I won't take advantage. You two can just ask for an equal price. I will think about whether the business can be done."
Su Wan is not willing to lower the price in this aspect. Even though Jiubian is here, if she wants to negotiate, these two people will give some face to lower the price. But if they have to escort the goods across the Endless Mountain, these people will also risk their lives. Profitable.
She wants to make money, but she doesn't want to fall into the eyes of money. Even this kind of money must be suppressed and given less.
Mr. Shan laughed when he heard this: "Madam is a cheerful person."
