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

The sun came out from the sky at some point, dispelling some of the cold. The servants in the side hall where the Xu family entertained guests brought up a charcoal basin. Madam Xu asked with a smile, "Isn't the capital much colder than the Huai River?"

"It's much colder."

Xin An put down the teacup, "The Huai River should be green everywhere at this time. Our dynasty is too big. I heard that the further south you go, the warmer it is, and there is no snow in winter."

Madam Xu asked someone to move the charcoal basin a little closer to Xin An. "The crabs you gave me last time tasted very good to me. They were very fresh and delicious. They really are grown in a good place. They are very special."

"Hearing you say that there is greenery in winter, it makes me want to go and see it myself."

"There will always be a chance. If Madam arrives in Huaijiang, she must stay at the Xin family, so that my mother can fulfill her hospitality as a host."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xin An smiled and said, "I came to bother you today because I received a letter from Huaijiang. My father said that the Xu family is a very easy buyer to get along with and it is very smooth to cooperate with them. He praised me and thought that I took the initiative to negotiate with the Xu family. I got the credit for nothing."

"Boss Xin said that?"

Mrs. Xu had already guessed the purpose of Xin An's visit, and continued, "Our manager in Huaijiang also brought back news that Boss Xin is a real person and that it is reassuring to do business with him. In this case, this is a very pleasant cooperation, and it is a good thing."

"Yes, my father also told me about a great event and asked me to come and thank General Xu and his wife in person."

Xin An smiled happily, "Madam, you know that our Xin family has always been a salt merchant. Thanks to the peace and prosperity of the country and the support of the court, the salt business is very good. But since the discovery of the northwest salt fields, the salt in Huaijiang has been affected to a certain extent. Having one more kind of salt is a good thing for the people and even better for the court. My father has always wanted to get his hands on the northwest salt..."

She talked about the efforts and disappointment of the Xin family for the salt permit, and then immediately thanked the Xu family, "I never expected to get the help of the Xu family and successfully get the salt permit. This is a great favor to our Xin family."

"This may be a small matter for the Xu family, but it is like a rebirth for our Xin family. If my father was not too busy at the end of the year and couldn't leave, he would have wanted to come to the capital immediately to thank the general and his wife in person."

As she spoke, she stood up and bowed to Madam Xu, "I would like to thank Madam on behalf of my father first. My father will come to the capital in the spring of next year to thank General Xu and Madam in person."

"Stop being polite, what are you doing?"

Madam Xu stood up and helped her up. "It's hard to tell what's going on with luck. If it was another time, even if the Xu family wanted to help, they wouldn't necessarily be able to help. You know that salt permits involve too many things. This time, I heard from the people below that it was luck that came. The official in charge of this matter just owed the Xu family a favor because of some other things. So when the Xu family asked, he was a little embarrassed but still agreed. Although it took some effort, it was finally done, and everyone is happy."

Well, it was the Xu family who exchanged it for me using favors. This was specially chosen for me.

"In this case, I have to pay my respects to Madam. I only know that it was the Xu family who helped, but I don't know the inside story..."

"Look at you." Madam Xu said with a smile, "Just when I said that, you felt uneasy. I would not have said it if I had known."

Xin An smiled and sat back down, and his voice softened when he spoke again, "The Xu family helped my family so much, and I came here today. I suddenly felt very embarrassed and felt that I was somewhat ignorant."

Sometimes when you don't know what to do, you have to use your own advantages. She is still such a young wife, it is not excessive to act coquettishly in front of the elders, and it can also resolve her embarrassment. "Madam, please forgive me this time."

"You kid..."

This also relieved Mrs. Xu's embarrassment. After all, she had just pointed it out to her. If it was someone of the same generation, it would be fine, but she was a junior. "The gift you brought today is heavy enough. Why are you embarrassed?"

Xin An was not planning to give money directly to the Xu family. Once the money was given, the nature of the matter would be different. Such an important matter had to wait for her father to come forward in person. As for her, she had to satisfy Mrs. Xu.

But the Xu family is a military family and has no shortage of good things, so among the gifts Xin An sent today was a pure gold Ruyi. It took three kilograms of gold to make this Ruyi, not to mention that it was inlaid with gems.

Such a thing is extremely practical. You can sell it directly when you are short of money, remove the gems and use the gold directly, or exchange the gold for silver. It is more practical than those flashy porcelain or jade articles.

Therefore, when Mrs. Xu said "precious", it was not just a polite remark.

The Xu family must have had some ulterior motive in helping the Xin family obtain the Northwest Salt Permit, and the Xin family must have returned the favor. The relationship between the Xu and Xin families became closer. After a few words, Mrs. Xu used the excuse that she and Xin An had a destiny and asked her not to call her aunt in a distant way. Naturally, Xin An took advantage of the situation and changed her words on the spot.

"I don't know how the Second Prince's wife is doing. I wanted to visit her earlier, but I also thought that pregnant women should rest more, so I didn't dare to disturb them rashly."

Madam Xu said, "The imperial physician said everything is fine. If you want, just send someone to send a note. She is bored staying at home to take care of the baby, and she would love someone to go and talk to her."

"That's great. I'll send an invitation later. I got a box of twelve jade dolls a while ago. They are all chubby and very cute. I think pregnant women will like them more. I'll take them to the Second Prince's wife to present them as a treasure."

Madam Xu laughed and was quite pleased with Xin An. As for the Marquis' Mansion, she did not mention it at all. Logically speaking, it would not be impossible for Tang Gang to get the salt permit as long as he was willing to put in the effort. However, in the end, the Xu family got the advantage for nothing.

You have to know that the Xu family was really lucky to encounter this. Not everyone can do salt business. If you want to become a salt merchant, the first thing you need to do is to have strong strength, be able to buy a large amount of salt and bear the transportation costs. In fact, you need a huge amount of recognition silver, and the ability to manage relationships with various government offices. This time, the Xin family paid 500,000 taels of recognition money for the Northwest Salt Permit.

The salt merchants' wealth is not just talk.

It is extremely difficult to train a salt merchant on your own, and it is a pleasant surprise that the Xin family owes such a great favor to the General's Mansion.

Mrs. Xu originally wanted to introduce her daughter-in-law to Xin An, but she thought that since they were both young people, they would have something to say. Then, thinking about her daughter-in-law's personality, she gave up. When it was almost time, Xin An took his leave.

Madam Xu's personal maid escorted her to the door and waited for her to get in the car before returning to Madam Xu's side, saying with a smile, "This second young master's wife is really smart. I think the gifts she brought today are very substantial."

Madam Xu put down the teacup in her hand. "She can't make decisions on some things yet, but she is really smart to represent her father in such an important matter at her age. I'm afraid Marquis Weiyuan has regretted it a long time ago."

"The Xin family is sensible, they know how to be grateful, and they know how to seize opportunities. I haven't heard from the people below that the Marquis' Mansion didn't actually give the Xin family much help. Some things can be found out by asking around in the local area. It's all thanks to the ability of Boss Xin. Tang Gang's vision is still too narrow."

The old woman smiled and said, "In that case, we should thank Marquis Weiyuan."

Mrs. Xu smiled without saying anything. She asked the nanny to put away the gift from Xin An and wait for General Xu to come back to take a look at it so that she would have a clear idea of ​​what was going on.
