Chen Yuanyuan woke up the next day and felt something was wrong with her body. She shook her body and her clothes seemed to be in the wrong position.
It was like someone had taken off his clothes and put them on again.
Chen Yuanyuan glanced at Pan Xiaoxian on the bed and found that he was fast asleep and had not woken up.
I can only think of it as sleepwalking again last night.
If Pan Xiaoxian really dared to do something inappropriate, he would definitely be discovered and would have been kicked out of the room long ago.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it."
Chen Yuanyuan turned her back to Pan Xiaoxian, put her palms into her clothes, and adjusted the position of her underwear.
"time to eat."
Zhao Yanxue walked in, holding a tray with breakfast in her hand.
The moment she opened the door, Zhao Yanxue happened to see Chen Yuanyuan adjusting her underwear. Her eyes were weird and she looked envious again.
Chen Yuanyuan's figure is too proud.
If any woman sees it, she will envy Chen Yuanyuan's turbulent chest and a pair of top-notch big papayas.
Pan Xiaoxian had been pretending to sleep. When he heard Zhao Yanxue calling them to eat, he pretended to have just woken up and got up to wash up.
Wait until the three of them sit in the room and have breakfast.
Pan Xiaoxian couldn't wait to say: "When will you help me introduce salt merchants in Yangzhou?"
Chen Yuanyuan is true to her word. She agreed yesterday and will not go back on it.
The matter of introducing Yangzhou salt merchants will be done today.
Chen Yuanyuan stood up and said: "Yangzhou salt merchants are divided into groups according to their respective salt farms."
When Pan Xiaoxian heard Chen Yuanyuan introduce the situation of Yangzhou salt merchants, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and followed him out.
Yangzhou salt merchants need to transport salt to different salt farms, and there are two main salt farms.
Changlu Salt Field and Lianghuai Salt Field.
The Lianghuai Salt Farm is larger and produces more salt every year, so more Yangzhou salt merchants gather there.
Chen Yuanyuan took Pan Xiaoxian to the Lianghuai Guild Hall, where the salt merchants from the Lianghuai Salt Farm often gathered.
Each salt field has its own guild hall. The main guild halls of Yangzhou salt merchants are Lianghuai Guild Hall and Changlu Guild Hall.
The guild hall we went to this time was the largest Lianghuai guild hall in Yangzhou.
The two arrived at the entrance of the club and were immediately stopped.
The porter saw that Pan Xiaoxian was wearing an official uniform and stopped him anyway: "You are not from the guild hall. You have to wait outside when the prefect comes. Please don't embarrass me, this official."
When the concierge stopped people, he said polite words, but the expression on his face was rude, and he was showing off his superiority.
With the power of the Lianghuai Guild Hall, it was normal for him to look down on Pan Xiaoxian, an official in youth uniforms.
Pan Xiaoxian looked at Chen Yuanyuan next to him.
Chen Yuanyuan took out a letter: "My name is Chen Yuanyuan. Please give this letter to Ambassador Chen."
When the concierge heard that Chen Yuanyuan's surname was Chen, he immediately became polite, took the letter with both hands, and hurried in to deliver it.
Chen Yuanyuan introduced the situation of the Lianghuai Guild Hall: "The leader of each Guild Hall will serve as the ambassador of the local batch inspection office, that is, the official responsible for distributing the quantity of salt."
Pan Xiaoxian nodded, indicating that he understood.
Although the official position of the ambassador of the Approval Office is relatively low, he has great power, which is a typical example of low status and weight.
Pan Xiaoxian would not look down on Ambassador Chen just because the official rank of the ambassador was low.
Since he is responsible for distributing salt from the Lianghuai Salt Farm, his status is higher than that of the prefect.
The amount of salt that salt merchants receive every year, whether it is more or less, is all decided by Ambassador Chen.
"Ouch."
The concierge came out quickly, nodded and bowed, as if he were a slave: "The flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. It turns out that she is the niece of the master's family. I am blind, so please come in quickly."
The letter brought by Chen Yuanyuan played a big role. The concierge's attitude changed drastically, from being condescending to being flattering in an instant.
If Chen Yuanyuan's shoes were dirty, the concierge would rush over and wipe them clean with his sleeves.
Chen Yuanyuan nodded coldly and walked in with Pan Xiaoxian, ignoring the concierge who nodded and bowed.
The Lianghuai Guild Hall is very large, covering an area of hundreds of acres. You might get lost the first time you enter.
This was not the first time for Chen Yuanyuan to come here. She was familiar with the roads of the Lianghuai Guild Hall and took Pan Xiaoxian directly into the lobby.
Pan Xiaoxian counted and passed through three or four doors in total. He couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the richest businessman in the world is the Yangzhou Salt Merchant. The size of the guild hall is almost as big as the palace."
"Ha ha."
Hearty laughter also came from the lobby. Ambassador Chen stood up and walked to Chen Yuanyuan's side with a smile on his face: "Our uncle and nephew have not seen each other for a few years. They have grown taller and are more beautiful than before."
Chen Yuanyuan obviously didn't know how to speak politely, so she said straightforwardly: "Last time I came here, my uncle and I were almost the same, but this time I saw my uncle, he is shorter than me."
It is very embarrassing for a man to be inferior to a woman.
What's more, there are outsiders here.
Ambassador Chen laughed awkwardly. Any other woman in the Chen family would have been slapped long ago.
Ambassador Chen even scolded me for not being able to speak.
Chen Yuanyuan is completely different.
For the sake of Concubine Chen, Ambassador Chen just laughed and forgot about this sentence.
Pretending to be confused is not a bad thing.
Ambassador Chen asked with a smile: "My niece is here, and my uncle's face lights up. Tell me, what are you doing here this time?"
Chen Yuanyuan introduced Pan Xiaoxian next to him: "This is my teacher Pan Xiaoxian, who is also the eighth-grade professor of the Imperial College."
Just an eighth-grade official.
Normally, Ambassador Chen wouldn't bother to take a look.
For Chen Yuanyuan's sake, Ambassador Chen smiled and nodded as a greeting.
Pan Xiaoxian smiled back, feeling solemn. He didn't know how many female students he could recruit today.
Chen Yuanyuan introduced again: "Teacher Pan came here today to recruit female students for the Imperial College."
Ambassador Chen smiled and nodded again, but doubts arose in his heart. Logically speaking, being able to study in the Imperial College was a great thing.
Why did Pan Xiaoxian come over to take people to study in the Imperial College?
There must be something fishy here.
Pan Xiaoxian explained the reason: "We are all one family, so I will tell the truth directly. The annual fee for a female student is ten thousand taels of silver."
Ten thousand taels of silver!
Ambassador Chen's voice was high-pitched. His family was extremely rich, and the money they earned every year was shipped home by ship.
The huge amount of ten thousand taels of silver still shocked Ambassador Chen.
There are too many, which is still a huge expense for Yangzhou salt merchants.
What's more, it's still used to read to my daughter.
It would be more like a son.
Pan Xiaoxian heard Ambassador Chen exclaim and explained: "Don't worry, the money will not be in vain, I guarantee that you can get the position of female officer within two years."
Ten thousand taels of silver bought the official position of a female official, which was only a ninth-grade official position.
Ten thousand taels of silver must be spent every year.
Ambassador Chen almost said, you might as well grab it.
Ten thousand taels of silver can buy a county magistrate, which is more than enough. Even a few thousand taels of silver is enough.
It doesn't cost ten thousand taels of silver.
The county magistrate is a seventh-rank official, which is higher than Pan Xiaoxian's official position.
