Chapter 90 Tank Money and Delivery Fees
Meng Shu'er rubbed the handkerchief and said, "Mother, please think of a solution!"

Madam Meng tried her best to suppress her anger and shouted out of the carriage, "What are you standing there for? Go back home!"

The driver Nono agreed and was about to turn the car around when he saw a young couple blocking the way.

Tang Zhao: "Where are you going, Madam Meng? The soybean oil shop is just ahead."

Meng Shuer pushed open the car door and shouted, "Tang Zhao, you..."

Before he could finish his curse, he saw the figure he had been thinking about all the time.

Meng Shu'er smoothed her wind-blown hair with her hands and said happily, "Fifth Young Master, why are you here?"

Are you here to see her?

Gu Ci: "Come and accompany the madam."

Oh! You know I'm your wife now? Tang Zhao glanced at him, and said, "Miss Meng, please forgive me for laughing. My husband is so attached to me. Not to mention letting me go out alone, even in the mansion, we can't even be apart for half a cup of tea~"

Meng Shuer's smile froze on her face.

Tang Zhao continued to speak disgustingly, "This little life is sweeter than honey and thicker than oil." She covered her face with her hands, "I'm so embarrassed."

Gu Ci took a deep breath, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "It's over."

Tang Zhao reflected on it for a moment, and felt that she had done nothing wrong. She raised her head slightly and said, "That's because my husband attracts so many people."

What does it mean to attract bees and butterflies? Gu Ci frowned and denied it, "I have no connection with Miss Meng."

"I believe it," Tang Zhao said teasingly, looking towards the end of the intersection, "Isn't it Miss Zhongyong Hou who has had an encounter with my husband?"

Gu Ci followed her gaze and saw a carriage with the emblem of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery parked in front of the teahouse in the distance, and a graceful figure was getting off the carriage.

Gu Ci turned around and said, "No more."

Haha, I don’t believe your nonsense, Tang Zhao sneered, there was no intersection, how did the unfortunate Yang Dalang surrender to the enemy in anger?

Tang Zhao's gaze fell with pity on the young man who had just come out of the teahouse.

Yang Zhui turned around sharply and saw Princess Zhaoshan looking at him with a look of compassion in the distance.

Yang Zhui:.
Bai Rouyin coughed lightly.

Yang Zhui quickly turned around and said, "Let's go in. You're weak, so be careful of the wind."

Bai Rouyin raised her eyes and glanced at the handsome man in front of her, "Okay."

As he said that, he took the maid's hand and walked into the teahouse first. Yang Zhui followed behind and protected Bai Rouyin.

Gu Ci said coldly, "Have you seen enough?"

Tang Zhao retracted his gaze and said with emotion, "These two are quite a match."

Putting aside the plot of the original book, just looking at their appearance, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, one is strong and the other is gentle. Although they are a little bit, uh, a lot worse than her and Gu Ci, they are still rare.

It's still much better than the one in front of her and her future playboy fiancé.

Meng Shuer said angrily, "What's that look in your eyes?"

"A look of demanding payment," Tang Zhao said, looking towards the carriage. "Madam Meng, I've already prepared 100,000 kilograms of soybean oil. When do you think we can pay for it?"

Madam Meng was called out and had to come forward. "Please, my lady, send it directly to Cikang Hall and hand it over to the person in charge."

"I have to preside over the donation, so I won't stay here any longer."

Madam Meng looked at the steward following the carriage. The steward understood and waved his hand, and the guards carried the box forward.

Madam Meng said, "This is the payment for 100,000 jin of soybean oil. Please count it, Princess."

The silver ingots, each weighing fifty taels, were neatly arranged together, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

But, "Not enough!" "Not enough?" Meng Shu'er screamed, "My princess, are you dazzled by the silver? There are a total of twenty silver ingots in this box, which is exactly one thousand taels. How can it not be enough?"

Tang Zhao pointed at the endless stream of mule carts across the street and said, "We're short of the money for the vats and the delivery fee."

Meng Shuer: "I bought your soybean oil, and you still want money for the jar?"

"Ah, what else?" Tang Zhao said as a matter of course, "A large jar costs three hundred coins, and you expect to get it for free?"

How can you be so shameless!
"If the Meng family is reluctant, they can return the vat to the soybean oil mill after they've donated all the soybean oil," Tang Zhao said sympathetically. "The mill will then return the money for the vat in full."

"No need!" Madam Meng's cold voice came from the carriage, "It's just a few jars of money, my Meng family can afford it!"

Tang Zhao quickly added, "And there's a delivery fee!"

Meng Shuer was puzzled, "What is the delivery fee?"

"The workers at the soybean oil mill deliver soybean oil to our door, and each person gets 30 wen each time," Tang Zhao said confidently. "The Meng family is wealthy and powerful, so naturally they don't care about this little money, but the poor people do care!"

"Cousin, please judge for yourself!" Meng Shu'er looked at Gu Ci beside her and said delicately, "How can a seller in this world deliver something to your door and still charge a delivery fee?"

Gu Ci didn't even raise his eyes, "Miss Meng wouldn't deduct even the hard-earned money of the common people, would she?"

Meng Shu'er was breathing rapidly. It was obvious that Tang Zhao was a petty and materialistic businessman, but how come in the mouth of the Fifth Young Master, she was considered mean and rude?
Madam Meng said coldly, "Princess, please name your price, and my Meng family will pay it."

"Two hundred large vats cost sixty taels in total, and one hundred delivery personnel cost three taels in total for delivery fees." Tang Zhao held out his hand. "Sixty-three taels at a discount."

Meng Shu'er stared at the slender white jade hand in front of her for a long time, then turned and glared at the maid who was huddled aside with her head down. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take the money! Do you want me to take out the purse myself?"

The maid trembled as she took out her purse from her bosom. She counted for a long time with shaking hands and said in a trembling voice, "Miss, there are still three taels missing."

Meng Shuer's eyes were fierce.

The manager quickly paid the remaining three taels of silver out of his own pocket.

The maid carefully handed the purse to Tang Zhao.

Tang Zhao took the purse, shook it, and pulled Gu Cirang, saying, "The payment has been made. This business is settled. Welcome to visit us next time."

Meng Shu'er looked at Gu Ci with resentment, as he had allowed Tang Zhao to bully her, and returned to the carriage at the steward's urging.

The coachman flicked the whip, and the Meng family's gorgeous carriage slowly moved forward.

Gu Ci asked, "Are you happy?"

"I earned sixty-three taels of silver with just a few words, so I'm naturally happy," Tang Zhao said with a smile as he turned back to the soybean oil mill. "What a pity, I won't be able to see the grand ceremony of the Meng family donating soybean oil!"

Gu Ci looked up at the rooftop beside him and saw a black figure flash by, rushing towards Cikang Hall at a high speed.

At the entrance of Cikang Hall, the person in charge was warmly welcoming Zhao Tian.

"The 100,000 kilograms of soybean oil that Madam Meng ordered from the Song's Soybean Oil Shop has arrived. Please count them and sign and stamp here if there are no problems. Our deal is done."

The person in charge smiled and said that there was no need to inspect the goods, but he kept glancing at the manager of the Meng Mansion beside him.

When the steward of the Meng Mansion sent someone to take over, he quietly checked it and made sure that there was not even any soybean dregs in the soybean oil before he sighed with regret.

How come there is no problem at all?

Zhao Tian noticed the regretful look of the Meng Mansion's steward and couldn't help but admire his wife's foresight even more.

The Meng family really wanted to take over the soybean oil mill.

Fortunately, they were prepared.

Pooh!
