Chapter 288 Everything
"It's me, who are you?" Shen Xiaoye had just responded when the little black cat jumped from the rammed earth platform to her side.
Shen Cungeng stepped to the front. Boss Zhu and others who had not left yet also looked over here. After all, everyone could see clearly at dusk.
Xiaoqi clasped his fists and said, "My name is Zeng. I have been ordered to lead the troops of this banner to discuss and be responsible for escorting Miss Shen's caravan back to the capital from today."
"Thank you Zeng Xiaoqi for your trouble. We will set off after the trade." Shen Xiaoye thought to himself that there was an 80% chance that Lu Guan had already set off and his request was approved.
Shen Cungeng followed her words and moved closer to Zeng Xiaoqi, “Before we leave, we will go and invite you and everyone else.
Zeng Xiaoqi, can you show me the way? I am Shen Cungeng, but my sister is not able to go with me."
"It's in the northwest corner." Zeng Xiaoqi noticed that the other party took something out of his sleeve after clasping his fists, so he waved his hand and asked his men to follow him back.
On the way, Shen Cungeng secretly gave him two taels of silver, and said that he would reward him handsomely when he returned to Beijing.
Shen Xiaoye patted the little black cat, and the cat followed cleverly.
Alas... Shen Xiaoye knew without hearing that her cousin had sent away a group of money-spending ancestors, but there was nothing she could do, as Lu Guan would never let them, a few teenagers, lead the team.
What's more, we have to select and buy horses tomorrow, so these soldiers can be used.
On this side, in response to the verbal concern of Boss Zhu and nearby merchants, Shen Xiaoye expressed his gratitude again.
It was finally half an hour before Shen Cungeng came back with the cat. It was completely dark and most of the merchants around had left.
He asked the clerk who stayed behind in the Zhu family to help watch over the goods. He no longer sent out the furs and only sent Shen Xiaoye out the door.
As he expected, Lin Erniu and two or three teammates were waiting outside the door, carrying cold food.
That night, Shen Xiaoye was busy all the time, taking people to visit nearby merchants of all sizes who had not sold all their goods. Some people thought her proposal was good and were willing to take a commission after she found a buyer.
In fact, the caravan gathering place was completely transparent, and everyone was communicating as much as possible, striving to make more money in the last three days.
So, when Shen Xiaoye got up early the next day to report for work, her eyes were bloodshot. Others could take turns to rest, but she couldn't.
Fortunately, she sold out all her silk and cloth within one day, and then she became a matchmaker for four or five companies, earning more than 100 taels of commission.
But on the next morning, that was no longer possible. More guys at the market were sent out to buy goods, and most of the small merchants were left with nothing.
As a result, Shen Xiaoye decided to leave early, "Cousin, before everyone leaves for Beijing, the fur can be sold for a good price.
The horses can also eat less soybean meal for one day. "Feeding a few horses is not a big deal, but feeding dozens of horses is really too expensive.
"Besides, the two teammates who were just picked up with the ransom money are not suitable to stay here any longer." Those two people had problems with the private jobs they took, and Shen Xiaoye was most worried that they would do something life-threatening again, so he had to send them back home quickly to ensure their safety.
Shen Cungeng had no objection at all, "It just so happens that Shopkeeper Dai came to look for me and wanted to go back together."
"Notify everyone and set off after lunch." Shen Xiaoye said he would leave without any delay and immediately packed up his things and left the horse market.
On their return journey, except for a short half-day stop in Datong to pick up the remaining troops, they rode at full speed to the capital, and did not promote their goods in the cities along the way.
Despite such a tight schedule, we managed to reach the outskirts of Beijing before the end of the month.
Shen Xiaoye quickly delivered fifty of the horses to a special broker in Madian, the northern suburbs.
Shopkeeper Dai said regretfully, "Miss Shen picked a good horse. If you sell it yourself, you can get it for 25 taels."
"It's too tiring." Shen Xiaoye earned two hundred taels in a short time, which he felt was a lot.
She took the initiative and said, "Shopkeeper Dai, let's go together for next year's trade, and use the current guards.
You see, they all come from the Beijing Army, and they can easily meet a few friends at the post stations along the way."
"That's settled then. With them around, I won't get into trouble this time." Shopkeeper Dai is a qualified businessman after all. He will not hesitate to move forward just because of a mistaken arrest or detention.
Then he asked, "Are we going to enter the city today? It will cost a lot to accommodate so many people."
After several days of continuous travel, everyone was too tired to walk in the capital. In addition, Zeng Xiaoqi and his party who had been escorting them along the way also needed to be settled.
Little did he know that Zeng Xiaoqi had more than just this one mission and was currently saying goodbye to Shen Cungeng.
Shen Xiaoye told him that the empty car could be parked in the northern suburbs. Before she finished speaking, Xuan Shen and Zhuang Zhuang came running over. He said excitedly, "You are finally back. I have been guarding the city gate every day.
The fourth young master asked for a large compound that could accommodate 10 to 20 large carts, and he also bought it. It is near Wudeying, east of Anzhen Gate, and is just across the street from Che Nian Hutong. "
He chattered for a while, and then asked, "Miss Shen, where is my fourth young master?"
Poor Xuanshen was once again abandoned by his own young master.
Until everyone was arranged and Shen Xiaoye stored the two carts of furs in Lu Guan's house, he was in a daze and even wiped away tears when he talked about it. "I am several inches taller this year than last year, and I have gained a lot of weight, but the fourth young master won't take me on a long trip."
"It's not easy to travel far away. Come with us to Linghe County tomorrow.
Come and taste this sweet mouth." Shen Cungeng stuffed the Xuanfu milk raisins he bought into him.
Mr. Bai was also persuading him and stuffing some into his mouth: "When you learn the same skills as Guard Chen, the Fourth Young Master will definitely keep you by his side."
He chewed the Scrophularia ginseng and it tasted sweet and sticky. He asked Shen Cungeng where the fourth young master had gone but to no avail.
In the end, it was Shen Xiaoye who took out the letter left by Lu Guan and finally answered his more questions.
He said, "This is for Young Master Lu to take a look at."
"I'll go and take it." Xuan Shen's eyes lit up. He took it and rushed out of the moon cave gate without even riding a donkey.
The people present couldn't help but laugh at each other, and the noise soon attracted the attention of Xu Xiucai's daughter next door.
Xu Yun didn't know how to climb a ladder to listen, but she hurried from the second courtyard to the first courtyard and heard Shen Xiaoye's voice by leaning against the wall.
So he asked the cook at home to come and invite Shen Xiaoye to meet him.
The latter came to Xu's house very quickly and selected two tanned fox furs and gave them to Xu Yun, "Use them to make winter clothes."
Xu Yun asked shyly: "This fur color is really nice. How many different kinds of fur do you have?"
"More than 2,000, take your pick." Shen Xiaoye waved his hand and said, "We have everything from cattle, sheep, deer, minks, and roe deer.
I'll give you a commission for every ticket you sell."
She placed the other carts of leather that had not been completely tanned in Beijuxianfang, preparing to ask the tanners in Zhenjiang Hutong and Yanger Hutong there to properly process them.
"Is it convenient now? I want to pick some for my dowry." Xu Jun coughed lightly and finally said it.
Shen Xiaoye's expression froze, and he quickly asked, "Where did you book?"
