Chapter 285 Tang Gang’s vision is still too narrow
The sun came up in the sky at some point, dispersing some of the coldness. The servants in the side hall where the Xu family entertained guests brought up charcoal basins. Mrs. Xu smiled and asked, "Isn't the capital much colder than the Huaijiang River?"
"It's much colder."
Xin'an put down the tea cup, "The Huaijiang River should be green everywhere at this time. It's also my wife. I heard that it gets warmer as you go south, and there is no snow in winter."
Mrs. Xu asked someone to move the charcoal basin further in the direction of Xin'an, "I ate the crabs you gave me last time and they were very good. They were extremely delicious. They really grew in a good place and are very different."
"Hearing you say that there is green in winter also makes me want to go and see it myself."
"There is always a chance. If Madam has to stay at the Xin family when she comes to Huaijiang, she can also ask my mother to fulfill her duty as a landlord."
After a few words of greeting, Xin An smiled with a smile on his face, "I came to bother you today, madam, because I received a letter from Huaijiang. My father said that the Xu family are very easy-to-get-together buyers, and it was very smooth to work with them. He praised me." , I thought it was me who took the initiative to negotiate the deal with the Xu family, and I got the credit for it in vain."
"Boss Xin said so?"
Mrs. Xu had already guessed the purpose of Xin An's coming, and continued following her words, "Our manager in Huaijiang also sent back the news, saying that Boss Xin is a real person, and doing business with him makes people feel at ease. This means that the cooperation is very pleasant, which is a good thing.”
"No, my father also told me a great news, so I must come and thank General Xu and his wife in person."
Xin An smiled happily, "Madam, you know, our Xin family has always been a salt merchant. Thanks to the support of the country and the people, and the support of the court, the salt business is very easy. However, since the northwest salt fields were discovered, the salt of Huaijiang River has been under pressure." After a certain impact, having more salt is a good thing for the people, and it is even better for the court, so my father has always wanted to buy salt from the northwest."
She talked about the Xin family's efforts and disappointment for Yanyin, and then immediately thanked the Xu family, "I never expected that I would get help from the Xu family and get Yanyin smoothly. This is very important to our Xin family." It’s a great kindness.”
"This matter may be a trivial matter to the Xu family, but to our Xin family, it is a gift of renewal. If my father hadn't been too busy at the end of the year and couldn't leave, he would have wanted to come to the capital right away to thank the general and his wife in person."
As she said this, she stood up and gave Mrs. Xu a blessing, "I will first thank Madam for my father. When next spring, my father will come to the capital to thank General Xu and Madam in person."
"Excuse me, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Xu stood up and helped her up personally, "It's hard to explain things like luck. If the Xu family wants to help at another time, they may not be able to do it. You also know that Yan Yin involves too many things. This time, listen to the people below It was said that he was lucky. The official in charge of this matter had just owed a favor to the Xu family for some things. So when the Xu family opened his mouth, he was a little embarrassed but still agreed. Although it took some effort, he finally solved the matter. It’s successful, and everyone is happy.”
Yes, the Xu family paid for it with favors. This was specifically for themselves.
"In this case, I want to pay tribute to Madam. I only know that it is the Xu family who is helping me, but I don't know the inside story."
"Look at you." Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Just saying this made you uneasy. If I had known better, I wouldn't have said it."
Xin'an sat back with a smile, and her voice softened when she spoke again, "The Xu family has helped my family so much, and I am just here today. I suddenly feel very embarrassed and feel that I am somewhat ignorant."
Sometimes when you don't know what to do, you have to use your own advantages. She is still such a young daughter-in-law, and it is not too much to act coquettishly in front of her elders. It can also resolve her embarrassment, "Madam, please forgive me this time." "You kid."
She also resolved Mrs. Xu's embarrassment. After all, she had just touched her. Forget it if she was someone of the same generation, but she was still a junior. "The gift you brought today is heavy enough. Isn't it necessary?" Excuse me?"
Xin'an is not prepared to send money directly to the Xu family. The nature of the money will be different once it comes out. Such important matters must wait for her father to come forward in person. As for her, she must satisfy Mrs. Xu.
But the Xu family is a military commander, and there is no shortage of good things, so among the gifts Xin An sent today is a pure gold Jin Ruyi. It took three kilograms of gold to make this Ruyi, not to mention that Ruyi is also inlaid with gems. .
Such a thing is extremely practical. You can sell it directly when you have no money, you can use gold directly after deducting gems, or you can exchange gold for silver. It is more practical than those flashy porcelain or jade.
Therefore, Mrs. Xu's words of honor are not polite words.
The Xu family must have a plan to help the Xin family obtain the northwest salt quotation, and the Xin family must repay the benefits. The relationship between the Xu and Xin families has become closer. After a few words, Mrs. Xu used the pretext of being destined to Xin An and asked her not to complain. Auntie, Xin'an naturally climbed up the pole and changed her tune on the spot.
"I don't know how the second prince's concubine is doing. I had wanted to visit her earlier, and I also thought that pregnant women should get more rest, so I didn't dare to disturb her rashly."
Mrs. Xu said: "The imperial doctor said everything is fine. If you want to send someone to send a message, just send a message. She is bored raising a baby in the house. She wishes she had someone to talk to her."
"The relationship is good, so I sent the post later. I got a box of twelve kinds of jade-carved dolls earlier. Each one is chubby and very cute. I think pregnant women will like to see them more. I will present them to the second prince's concubine later. go."
Mrs. Xu laughed. She was quite pleased with Xin'an. As for the Hou Mansion, she didn't mention it at all. Logically speaking, as long as Tang Gang was willing to put in the effort, he might not be able to win over Yanyin. But in the end, the Xu family picked it up in vain. This one is cheap.

You must know that the Xu family is really lucky to have encountered this situation. Not everyone can buy and sell salt. If you want to become a salt merchant, the first thing you need is to have strong strength, be able to buy a large amount of salt, and bear the cost of transportation. In fact, it requires a huge amount of money to settle the nest, as well as the ability to manage relationships with various yamen. The Xin family paid 500,000 taels in one go for Northwest Yanyin.
The wealth of salt merchants is not just lip service.
It is extremely difficult to train a salt merchant on your own, so it is a surprise that the Xin family owes such a huge debt to the General's Mansion.
Mrs. Xu originally wanted to introduce her daughter-in-law to Xin'an, thinking that they were young people who had something to say, but thinking about her daughter-in-law's temperament, she gave up, and Xin'an said goodbye when it was almost done.
Mrs. Xu's personal maid sent her to the door. She waited for her to get in the car before returning to Mrs. Xu. She smiled and said: "The second young lady of the Hou Mansion is really smart. I saw her bringing gifts today." Very real.”
Mrs. Xu put down the teacup in her hand, "She can't make the final decision on some things, but she is really smart to be able to handle such important matters on behalf of her father at this age. Marquis Weiyuan may have regretted it a long time ago."
"The Xin family knows how to be grateful and seize opportunities. I didn't hear the people below say that the Hou Mansion actually didn't give much help to the Xin family. Some things can be found out by asking locally. It's all because of the ability of Boss Xin. Tang Tsuna's vision is still too narrow."
The mother-in-law smiled and said: "In this case, we also want to thank Weiyuan Hou."
Mrs. Xu smiled and said nothing, and asked Mammy to put away the gift from Xin An. She would ask General Xu to see it when he came back. She knew something in her mind.
