Reborn and married to uncle, husband and wife teamed up to abuse scum.

"I received a letter from home yesterday. My father said that as long as it is beneficial to the country, we should do it. If the Xu family needs it, we don't need to ask why, just tell them the amount. If the Xin family doesn't have enough, we will try our best to get it together."

Xin An came to discuss business, and there was not much to discuss about this business itself, so he spoke very straightforwardly.

Although Mrs. Xu had expected that the Xin family would not refuse this deal, she still felt happy at this moment.

"Boss Xin is righteous."

"I won't hide it from you. The Xu family buys sugar mainly for the soldiers in the army. They need a lot of it every year. They have looked for sugar merchants before, but they can't get a stable supply. Often they have to look for several sugar merchants to buy a little sugar. If Boss Xin can supply a large amount, it would be a blessing."

Xin An said that sugar is a rare commodity, expensive and hard to come by. It is also difficult to preserve and will melt in hot weather or when it gets wet. "If there are no stable customers, no one would want to stockpile it."

The point is that unlike salt which is always available, sugar is seasonal.

Mrs. Xu naturally knew about these things and only asked to do her best. "If Boss Xin can eat it, we don't need to look for anyone else."

Xin An smiled and said, "If that's the case, my father will be busy, but he doesn't have much on hand right now. If you need it urgently, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do. If you want it next year, then everything is possible."

Sugar comes from sugarcane. If we can take over the military business, we can find a place suitable for growing sugarcane. We can find the local county magistrate and let the people under his jurisdiction open more land and plant more sugarcane, and build workshops locally, so that we can have more sugar.

These all take time.

Madam Xu chuckled, "Don't worry about the business in the army. The quantity required will definitely not be small. As long as the Xu family is here, the Xin family can do this business all day. It's just a little bit, and I hope the price can be more reasonable."

A sugar deal can bring the Xin family to the Xu family, and it is a long-term beneficial exchange. The Xin family can also use the Xu family as a backer. Mrs. Xu is sure that the Xin family will not refuse.

Xin An had already discussed this with Tang Mo, and she was very happy to be here now. "I feel relieved with what you said, Madam. I will write back to Huaijiang immediately. My father will come to the capital in person to discuss the details next spring."

"We can get a batch of sugar this year, and the price will be settled after it is determined next year."

This is the Xin family's sincerity.

Madam Xu was very satisfied with her attitude. "Next year is too late, and Boss Xin is a businessman. We all know that we should not buy on credit during the New Year. Since the Second Young Master's wife has nodded on behalf of Boss Xin, the army will immediately send someone to Huaijiang to discuss the details with Boss Xin and take away the existing sugar."

"Just follow Madam's instructions."

The smoothness of the process was within the expectations of both of them. They didn't care how the army talked about Mrs. Xu, and Xin An didn't interfere with how his father viewed the profits. What they both cared about was to use this incident to bring the two families closer together and seek their own interests.

"The last time I saw the Second Young Master's Madam was at the Shuihua Banquet. Now I see that she has changed a lot from before."

After finishing the serious business, Mrs. Xu began to chat about daily life, "more calm and composed than before."

"Made the lady laugh."

Xin An naturally said that he had just arrived in the capital and was not used to it or familiar with it. "Fortunately, Sister Lin and the others took care of me and were willing to take me out for tea and opera. Otherwise, I would not have been able to get familiar with it so quickly."

"But is it Lin Yao, the second young lady of Marquis Qin's residence?"

"Yes."

Madam Xu smiled and said, "She is a straightforward person. There is nothing she doesn't know about the affairs of Kyoto."

Xin An also thanked the Second Prince's wife, and smiled as he said that he had accompanied the old lady to the palace yesterday and learned that the Second Prince's wife was pregnant. "This is a great event. I originally wanted to go and congratulate her, but I thought that the Second Prince's Mansion would be nervous, and the Second Prince's wife also needed to rest, so I could only go after a few days."

As soon as these words came out, Madam Xu's laughter was filled with unstoppable joy. "All the imperial doctors in the palace have moved in directly. You'll be able to see her in two months when she's well. Don't let her get bored these days."

It was a great thing that her daughter was pregnant. This morning, the job of supervising the Ministry of Revenue fell on the Second Prince. At the same time, the Queen's imperial edict reprimanding the Crown Princess also arrived at the Crown Prince's Mansion. The Crown Princess has been confined in the mansion for half a month. It was really cause for celebration.

Xin An smiled along, thinking that it was right not to rush to the Second Prince's Mansion. The child in the Second Prince's wife's belly was the hope of many people, and there must be no mistakes. The Second Prince's Mansion should have been closed to visitors at this time.

If you don't send any gifts, who knows if it will be tampered with by someone with ulterior motives. It's better to do nothing at this time than to make a mistake.

Mrs. Xu was quite interested in the Huai River, and Xin An also liked to talk about his hometown. When the two of them sat together, it didn't seem like elders talking to juniors, but more like peers discussing friendship.

After sending Xin An away, Madam Xu couldn't help but feel sorry for Tang Rong and said that Tang Mo was lucky. "A good wife brings less trouble to her husband. How can the words of our ancestors be wrong?"

Tang Rong mistook pearls for fish eyes, and one day he would regret it.

After leaving Xu's house, Xin An went to see the herbal medicine shop again. Fang Da was not there. He said that a batch of goods had arrived at the grocery store and he had gone to collect them, so he turned the car around and went to Wang's house.

Mrs. Wang was in charge of most of the care for the veterans, so she had to give them some benefits.

I bought a lot of snacks and tea on the way, and when I entered the door, I was warmly welcomed by Mrs. Wang.

"Why are you still so polite? Auntie is just about to go to the Marquis' Mansion to look for you."

Ever since the Marquis' Mansion identified the person in charge, the pressure on the Wang family has been much less. In particular, Xin An was very willing to pay, which made Mrs. Wang very satisfied. She immediately mentioned that Nanfeng had brought Liu Chang to discuss the purchase of food and charcoal for the winter.

"You've thought it through. Charcoal is much cheaper at this time."

Xin An smiled and said, "It was also mentioned unintentionally that day. I have never been involved in these matters before, and I don't know a lot of things. I can only trouble you, aunt."

"No trouble."

After the two of them sat down, Mrs. Wang smiled and recounted what they had done in the past few days. "We have counted the people again, and we have also agreed that there will be a fixed amount of food, charcoal and other items for each family. If the old soldiers pass away, the descendants will no longer receive them."

"I had some opinions when I first said it, but I can understand our difficulties. These days, the boys in those families have been busy looking for jobs, and the older girls have gone out to learn the rules. At the end of the year, there are many banquets in each family, and there is a shortage of manpower. These people can earn some money by helping out."

He also said that the expenses for learning rules and skills were all paid by the Wang family. "Of course, the expenses were paid with the money sent by the Second Young Master's wife. As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. It is easier to make a living if you have the skills."

Mrs. Wang had actually thought about these things a long time ago, but she was troubled by the lack of money to arrange them. With Xin An, the biggest problem was solved, and she could arrange them very smoothly.

"With Madam taking the trouble to arrange things, my husband and I can relax and be lazy at ease."

Xin An joked, "When grandma handed this matter to us, we were very worried and afraid that we wouldn't be able to do it well. Fortunately, we have Madam."

Mrs. Wang is willing to work, so she is happy to pay and is also willing to let Mrs. Wang get some benefits from it. Isn't it better than her doing everything herself and finally working herself to death?

"I came here today because I have something to trouble you, Madam."
