Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

Because of Xue Pan's injury, naturally another day's work was wasted for nothing.On the second day, people came from Zhizao Mansion.

However, the person who came this time was not here to collect debts.

They brought a new mission to Xue Pan. If they can accomplish this task, let alone 1000 taels of silver, it is not impossible for them to send a batch of goods to the Xue family.Hearing what the other party said, Xue Pan was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, only thinking of asking the other party what the matter was.

Based on what he thought, with the Xue family's ability in Jinling, what kind of things couldn't be done?

However, he didn't even think about it, what could the Zhizao Mansion not be able to do if the Xue family could do it?When it comes to official influence, the Xue family can't keep up with others.

But now that the Weaving Mansion can't even do it, he just agrees to the things that need to be pushed out without a beat.

Bo Yang and Liu Xianglian happened to come to see him, they hid behind the screen and listened anxiously.In the past two days, Xue Pan's behavior and words and deeds were very appropriate, and they almost forgot that this guy was nicknamed the dumb bully!

Liu Xianglian and Bo Yang looked at each other helplessly.The Overlord hasn't seen him yet, but it's certain that he will stay.

When the people from the Zhizao Mansion told the Xue family to do something, Bo Yang couldn't help being stunned.

"A while ago, the Suzhou Weaving Mansion got a piece of good cloth. It was called ice blue cloth. The cloth was light, and the color was transparent and bright. It was like ice cream! I heard that it was an ancestral cloth dyeing technique, which has been lost today. Suzhou It's only ten zhang over there. It's like a treasure. It's going to be used by the ladies in the palace next summer. We Jinling can't let them be more beautiful than this kind of good thing. Your Xue family lives in Jinling, if you can find it This method of making ice green cloth naturally has inexhaustible benefits!"

I didn't expect to go around and around, but I came here.There is such a coincidence in this world that Bo Yang can't accept it.

However, this can be considered to have solved one of Bo Yang's doubts. You must know that it is still not enough to trap Xue Pan with only 1000 taels of silver.But now, 1000 Liang turned into a piece of cloth that can never be bought in a blink of an eye, it is different.

Thinking about it, it was vaguely meant that he had tricked Xue Pan, although when he first sold things, he didn't expect that there would be such a twists and turns in the future.But now that I know about it, I really can't let go of this matter.

After the people from the Weaving Mansion left, Liu Xianglian strode out and sighed, "Brother Xue is too arrogant! You don't even ask what the ice and green cloth looks like, so you just answer it. If the time comes If you can't find it, what should you do?"

"That kind of fabric is light and thin, and it can only be made next summer, and there is still half a year to go. Is it possible that we can't find a piece of fabric?" Xue Pan said indifferently.

"What if you really can't find it?" Bo Yang asked.

Seeing that although he was asking a question, Xue Pan couldn't help being startled when his tone was quite firm.When he slowly came to his senses, he couldn't help but take a breath, "You mean you couldn't find it in Zhizao Mansion, so you assigned this errand to me?"

"You only think about the benefits if you complete the task, but why don't you think about it, what if the task cannot be completed?" As the saying goes, it is better for the county magistrate to take care of it now.Although their family is listed under the name of the inner government, they are far away after all, and the relationship is not close.But Zhizaofu's side is different, they want to move Xue's family, it's just a matter of handing over a word.

The signboard of the Xue Family Royal Merchant is probably about to be smashed.

Xue Pan thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "There is still half a year left, and I can always figure out a way. I'll send someone to find the ice green cloth, if there is a clue..."

"There's no need to look for it." Bo Yang sighed, "Did you forget that I came from Suzhou? The ice green cloth was originally bought by a young man holding a box to the east of the city to try his luck. The fabric was bought by a weaver in Suzhou. , Don’t they ever think about finding someone again?”

Naturally, they didn't find it, otherwise there would be no such thing as Jiang Ning weaving, let alone the Xue family's errand.

Only then did Xue Pan start to get anxious.

Bo Yang has gradually discovered that it's not that he doesn't understand many things, but he is always slower than others.It's not because his brain is not easy to use, it's just that no one has taught him this, so he has to think about it slowly.It's just that the people who associate with him are all human beings, which makes him inferior to others.

But since he decided to wade into this troubled water, Bo Yang was not in a hurry.He said to Xue Pan, "It's useless for you to worry any more now. You should rest easy and heal your wounds, and then try again. Now let's talk about the business of the five hundred bolts of cloth."

Both Liu Xianglian and Xue Pan didn't expect him to mention this matter at this time, they were both taken aback.Bo Yang said with a smile, "Why, could it be that the ice green cloth can't be found, and it's not enough to survive and stop doing business?"

"That's right." Xue Pan also laughed, "Since Brother Bai wants it, what else can I say? I'll send someone to the warehouse to pick it up for you."

Although Bo Yang lived here, Xue Pan never had a chance to talk to him, because he always took Liu Xianglian as his companion when he went in and out.So seeing the opportunity to please him now, Xue Pan naturally agreed very happily.

"It's better to discuss it and set a charter." Bo Yang said, "Human favors belong to favors, and business belongs to business."

Now that Bo Yang admitted that there was a favor, Xue Pan stopped insisting, and negotiated a deal with Bo Yang in a serious manner.Although it was Bo Yang who was talking, he nodded in charge.After signing the contract, Xue Pan sighed, "Speaking of which, this is the first time I have negotiated a business alone."

Bo Yang said seriously, "I won't let you lose money."

This is true.Now that Xue Pan gave him the convenience, the deposit was only 50 taels, and the repayment period was much relaxed, Bo Yang also abandoned his original idea of ​​trying to keep the price down, and bought [-] horses at a price of [-] taels per horse. Good fabrics, buy the remaining defective products at the price of two taels.

When Xue Pan bought these fabrics, they were priced at two taels, and he made a profit of 300 taels. Although it was not much, he did not lose money after all. ——Based on the current book profits of the Xue family's silk and satin shop, the 300 taels can be used as a profit for a month.

After talking about the business, Bo Yang immediately put away his smiling face, stood up and bid farewell to Xue Pan.

Xue Pan was stunned.

He just wanted to please Bo Yang before, so he readily agreed to all the conditions, hoping that Bo Yang would be happier.Who would have expected Bo Yang to turn around and leave after the business negotiation?He only left him after suffering all these injuries, and he hadn't said a single word of affection, so how could he want Bo Yang to leave at this time?

Liu Xianglian watched it amusedly.If he didn't understand the conflict between the two before, he can see it now. ——In fact, Xue Pan's eyes were almost undisguised, staring straight at Bo Yang's face.Liu Xianglian thought in her heart, thanks to brother Bai's good education, if it were him, she might have turned her face long ago.

Seeing that Bo Yang was controlling Xue Pan to death, he understood a little bit.

No wonder Brother Bai just avoided Xue Pan, presumably he was just afraid of trouble, and he would not really be restrained by it.

Liu Xianglian had some doubts about Bo Yang. Although he looked like a scheming city man, he was not bad, but he was not particularly outstanding, but Bo Yang had a calm and self-confidence that made people dare not underestimate him.Although he didn't know where this confidence came from, he was relieved.

In the end, Xue Pan still failed to keep Bo Yang, and sent him away eagerly.As a result, one of them walked away, and when she turned her head, Liu Xianglian also said that she wanted to leave.He was used to walking around, this time he had enough time to linger here, his next destination has already been decided, now that everything is sorted out, he naturally wants to leave.

Xue Pan likes to be lively, he didn't know how happy he was when he invited the two of them back yesterday, but he only stayed for one night and was about to leave, he immediately became depressed.

Who would have thought that Zhou Dawen, the old steward of Xue's mansion, heard that Xue Pan had distributed all the five hundred bolts of cloth backlog to Bo Yang, and hurriedly came to ask what happened, and when he learned that he only charged 50 taels of set money, he couldn't help sighing, "Although it is Uncle's friend, we can't say anything. It's just that the deposit of 50 taels of silver is really absurd. He is far away in Gusu, and he said that he will pay it off in March. Who knows what will happen? There is neither mortgage nor payment. People as guarantors, alas, the uncle is confused!"

Xue Pan was quite displeased when he heard that, "Brother Bai, a handsome and elegant person, will never be perfunctory. Now that it's agreed, how can you be suspicious?"

Old Zhou couldn't persuade him, so he just said, "Master, you should also serve some snacks. It's better to ask someone to ask you. Get the money back earlier. This matter is over, and the business in the shop is fine." Finished."

"Let's not worry about this," Xue Pan said, "Do you know what kind of ice green cloth the people from Zhizao Mansion want?"

"I've never heard of this name." Zhou Dao said, "Why don't I call the shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop tomorrow, and the uncle can just ask him."

Xue Pan has been breaking off the five hundred pieces of cloth with the shopkeeper these days. Although he still doesn't know what happened, he has already seen that this person is unreliable, so he is very annoyed, and quickly waved his hand, "You It’s enough to ask someone to go out and inquire about it, why bother calling him here?”

After sending Zhou Da out, Xue Pan lay on the bed by himself, turned around and thought about the matter carefully, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

It was Zhou Da's words that reminded him that Bo Yang didn't want to stay in Jinling, but he could go to Gusu to find him!It's just that the name of debt collection is really unpleasant, and it's not easy to mention it in person.Otherwise, if Bo Yang treated it as a business, he would have no place to cry.On this kind of matter, Xue Pan also has his own little abacus.

After much deliberation, he actually came up with an idea for him: to investigate the matter of the ice green cloth!
