Hope for luck

Chapter 185
In the Office of the Department of Internal Affairs, Dai Wuquan, who had just returned to the palace, completely lost his previous arrogance at this moment, and bowed to Wang Youzhong in front of him and said something just like Gao Pan had treated him before.

"Are you capable? You were asked to go outside the palace to urge you, but you hid yourself, and you know how to go back to the palace?"

Wang Youzhong's tone was very unfriendly.

Dai Wuquan hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead. If it wasn't winter, he would be sweating all over his body.

"Eunuch Wang, the little one has already messed up this matter. No matter what you say, the little one dare not reply. However, the little one came back to tell you good news!"

Dai Wuquan's words made Wang Youzhong's expression slightly better, and he asked in a deep voice:

"Is there any other good news? You know, our family was almost scolded by Na Lue!"

As soon as Lu E was mentioned, Wang Youzhong's face became a bit resentful. Up to now, he still clearly remembered Lu E's face, the expression that wanted to trample him under his feet forever!

After hearing this, Dai Wuquan was startled, and didn't dare to say any more nonsense, so he quickly told Wang Youzhong the news he got from Gao Pan.

After Wang Youzhong heard this, he was instantly pleasantly surprised:

"Is what you said true?"

"Eunuch, it seems that it can't be faked. The steward of the Shen family told me personally. If not, they wouldn't have come to ask you, Eunuch. I feel that the Wu family definitely has this sweet-scented osmanthus!"

Dai Wuquan quickly bowed and said.

Hearing this, Wang Youzhong stared at Dai Wuquan carefully, and after a while, he patted his palm, and said in a high-pitched voice that eunuchs only have:
"Okay...ok...okay, it's really good news... hurry... come, prepare the sedan chair, our family is going out of the palace... Dai Wuquan, you come with our family!"

Just as Gao Pan guessed, Wang Youzhong, who is so focused on making a comeback at the moment, doesn't care whether the news is true or not. For him, even if the news is false, he must go there himself. This is his only chance to make a comeback. .

Dai Wuquan seemed to have guessed that Wang Youzhong would have such a reaction, and quickly bowed to agree, followed behind Wang Youzhong, and left the palace with a group of eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Probably because they are internal servants, and it is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and not the harem, but the outer court, so it still seems a bit casual to go in and out of the palace.

Soon, a group of people headed towards Zhibeilou, a restaurant opened by the Wu family in the west of the city. This was what Dai Wuquan told Wang Youzhong.

But Wu Yingqiu, the owner of Zhibeilou, doesn't know at this moment that a conspiracy is coming towards him.

After talking with Wei Yan'an for a long time, Wu Yingqiu didn't get the result he wanted. Wei Yan'an is just a cynical son, and when he talks, he doesn't count at all.

Take the matter of earning the title of the imperial merchant this time, originally they had tossed and turned, and finally planned to take the Shen family under the knife.

But how did they know that the Shen family, who looked weak on the outside, had a lot of background, which made them kick the iron plate from the very beginning.

Moreover, he gave Dai Wuquan 5000 taels of silver as soon as he made a move, which can be regarded as nothing.

But Wei Yan'an acted as if he didn't care, which made Wu Yingqiu start to estimate his loss.

Although the Wu family's business can be improved after getting the title of imperial merchant, and there is a powerful person like Wei Yan'an behind him, who is also a big tree that can enjoy the shade, the Wu family will definitely skyrocket in the future, Maybe it will become a merchant like Datong Bank.

However, the unfavorable situation of starting a teacher gave Wu Yingqiu the idea of ​​retreating. Behind the imperial merchants, everyone has a lot of background. It is really good, he should be a stable merchant.

"Boss, someone sent a cart of sweet-scented osmanthus to our house, and they talked about it with everyone!"

At this moment, a shopkeeper from Zhibei Building hurried in and communicated with Wu Yingqiu.

After hearing this, Wu Yingqiu raised his eyebrows and looked a little dignified:

"Where did the sweet-scented osmanthus come from at this time? Where are people?"

"Let's go, leave the car at the entrance of our restaurant and leave. They said that fifty catties of sweet-scented osmanthus were not too much, and all of them were given to Zhibeilou to make sweet-scented osmanthus wine!"

The shopkeeper thought it was a good thing, and said happily.

"Fifty catties? How come...quick, open it and have a look!"

Wu Yingqiu instinctively felt that this is not a good thing, how can there be such a thing as a pie in the world?
"Master, wait a moment, I'll send someone to open it and have a look!" The shopkeeper quickly agreed.

Wu Yingqiu's eyelids twitched, feeling that something was wrong, and followed the shopkeeper's footsteps to the entrance of the restaurant.

When he was about to order someone to open the cart of 'Osmanthus fragrans' packed in wooden barrels, a group of people suddenly stopped him.

"You are the head of the Wu family? To the owner of the North Building?"

The leader was none other than Wang Youzhong who came in a hurry, and said condescendingly in a high-pitched voice.

Wu Yingqiu recognized Dai Wuquan who was behind Wang Youzhong at a glance. Seeing that Dai Wuquan could only bow down and follow behind the leading eunuch, he knew that the leading eunuch might be the Great Eunuch, so he quickly respectfully replied:

"If you answer this father-in-law, I'm right here. I don't know why the father-in-law came here!"

Wang Youzhong glanced at Wu Yingqiu first, then walked towards Zhibei Tower without looking back, followed by a group of young eunuchs.

When Dai Wuquan passed by Wu Yingqiu, he gave him a wink, the eyes were very warning, which made Wu Yingqiu feel very confused, and didn't understand what Dai Wuquan meant.

"Boss, this..."

After many eunuchs walked into Zhibei Tower, a shopkeeper came to ask Wu Yingqiu for instructions. Wu Yingqiu looked at the cart of things packed in wooden barrels, his eyebrows flickered, and he ordered:
"Pull it to the backyard first, and put some Osmanthus fragrans on it!"

As he said that, he quickly raised his legs and entered the Zhibei building.

In a private room on the second floor, Wang Youzhong led his people and sat down on his own, as if he was waiting for Wu Yingqiu to come in.

"Eunuch, if you have something to say, you may wish to speak directly. Although Wu is just a businessman, if Eunuch has orders, he will never be perfunctory!"

Wu Yingqiu's attitude was very respectful, knowing that they must have something to come.

"It's nothing serious. I heard that your family has extra sweet-scented osmanthus, right? Our family is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and we need fifty catties of sweet-scented osmanthus. I wonder if Boss Wu is willing to sell it?"

Wang Youzhong didn't talk nonsense, he held his voice and said without a doubt.

Although it was in a deliberative tone, Wu Yingqiu could understand as soon as he heard it that this was not a negotiation, it was simply a direct request.

At the same time, I was a little terrified in my heart, because shortly before they came, someone said that fifty catties of sweet-scented osmanthus had been sent. If it was a coincidence, he wouldn't believe it if he was killed.

In order to win the title of imperial merchant from the Shen family, Wu Yingqiu naturally inquired about a lot of things, and knew that the Shen family had a very difficult task to complete, that is fifty catties of sweet-scented osmanthus.

He also believed that the Shen family would be expelled from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and with the addition of 5000 taels of silver to Dai Wuquan, Wu Yingqiu originally thought that the matter would be settled.

But who knew that the Shen family had a lot of background and was not as weak as it appeared on the surface. In the end, the head of the House of Internal Affairs personally came forward to settle the matter.

Wu Yingqiu thought that this was the end of the matter, but now it seems that the matter has just begun, and it has already fallen to their family.

But where do they get sweet-scented osmanthus?The sweet-scented osmanthus brewed at home is all aged dried sweet-scented osmanthus, even if there is, I can't get much out of it!
