Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 378

In the half month since returning to the capital, Su Tiange obviously felt that something was different. The autumn wind swept away the warmth in his heart, and it disappeared when he turned around.

The leaves on the branches also withered quickly, leaving only bare branches when they fell.

"Shopkeeper, why hasn't this year's brocade come here? Has the weaving factory answered anything?" Su Tiange asked, pointing to the record book in the warehouse.

"Due to the shortage of dyes in weaving factories, we can't dye cloth anymore. The good-looking designs and colors are all worn by the palace and the homes of high-ranking officials. The rest are only some ordinary colors, which are similar to the colors of homemade cloth, but the price But it is several times the homemade cloth, and it is not easy to sell when it comes in.”

"Dyes are in short supply? With so many dyeing workshops in the Dali calendar, can't you find any good-looking ones?"

"Yun brocade is a precious material, and ordinary local methods will ruin a piece of good cloth, so the weaving factories use ore and dyes from the country of Wu. I don't know what happened this month. There has been a problem with the historical trade, the more scarce we are, the more we can’t buy it, no matter how high the price is, it’s useless.”

"Is it just our family or all the silk and satin shops in the capital?"

"All of them, and our silk and satin shop is the largest in the entire capital, there is no reason for the weaving factory to hold back our goods."

"How could someone have money but not make money?" Su Tiange fell into deep thought while pressing the record book.

"Yes, but the dye is stuck there and the dye cannot get in. The weaving factory is more anxious than us, but it can only be anxious." After speaking, the shopkeeper heard a voice outside and left to greet the guests.

Merchants seek profit, and it is impossible to put a lot of money without making money, unless they can only watch the white money dangling in front of their eyes but dare not make money, then this has something to do with the officials.But what if she thinks too much, is it really just because the ore is scarce?She needs to find out if anything other than the dye is affected as well.

After leaving the silk and satin village, Su Tiange went to the warehouse and asked Fang Zhongping to run around to see if she was worrying too much.Two hours later, Fang Zhongping came back with bad news, not only dyes, but also eyebrows for women, some jade materials, etc.

Although it is not a necessity in life, most people will not notice it.But after inquiring carefully, so many people were still affected. Looking at the dozens of product catalogs recorded in his hand, even Fang Zhongping himself was quite surprised.

"This is the shock brought about by accumulating more. I didn't think it before, but now I see that the two countries are inseparable."

"Yeah, that's why this kind of secret resistance makes people feel hateful."

"The girl is saying that someone did it on purpose?"

"It is an undeniable truth that businessmen seek profit, and there is no reason why Uzbekistan merchants would not make money. Apart from the secret intervention of the Uzbekistan court, I can't think of any reason why they would rather keep things in their hands." None of them are sold."

"If it is really the imperial court of Uzbekistan intervening, are they trying to start a war?"

"Not necessarily. The caravan traveling outside recently must be extra careful. If you don't have enough manpower, you can find an escort agency."

"Yes." Fang Zhongping replied, Su Tiange took the paper and left, but changed his mind when he got into the carriage, "Go to the house of Mr. Xu, Minister of Rites."

The coachman turned around and rushed to Xu's mansion.The weather was a bit cold, so Xi Yan was tightly packed, but she couldn't tell that she was several months pregnant.

"This is the first time you have come here since I married in Xu's house. If I had known you were coming, I would have received you in the other courtyard. The floor heating there is well repaired. Even in the middle of winter, the flowers in the house will Open." Xiyan rubbed her hands involuntarily as she spoke.

"I'm here because I want to ask your master Xu about something, and it's not considered a formal visit to you. So next time I come again, I will definitely notify you in advance and let you make arrangements."

"Your Excellency is still in the yamen, I'll send someone to fetch him." Su Tiange nodded, "It's urgent, so ask someone to hurry up."

Xiyan knew that with Su Tiange's temperament, if it wasn't something urgent, she would never come rashly, and her face became a little nervous.Su Tiange looked at Xiyan and knew that his nervousness had affected Xiyan, so he changed the subject and asked about the child in her womb. The two talked for a long time, and Master Xu chased him away with his servants. return.

After entering the door, he looked at Xiyan's condition before turning around and saying to Su Tiange, "If Mrs. Shen doesn't mind, go to the study to discuss it in detail." Su Tiange nodded, said something to Xiyan, and followed Xu Lang to the study.

After reading the record that Su Tiange brought over, Xu Lang was stunned for a while, "This is..." After thinking for a while, he didn't know which appropriate word to use to describe his shock, and finally said with a solemn expression: "I'm going to enter now." The palace informs the emperor."

"It's right to let the emperor know as soon as possible, but we can't make too much fanfare, or it may cause panic." After finishing speaking, Su Tiange briefly talked about meeting Princess Yueying in Yangcheng, also to give him a preliminary idea. judgment.

"Thank you Miss Su for telling me, I will enter the palace immediately." Xu Lang was about to leave the study in a panic.

"We can't let Xiyan know, she shouldn't be too overthinking now. So I will leave too." After finishing speaking, Su Tiange went to the main room to bid farewell to Xiyan.It was half past time when we left Xu's mansion, and when we returned to Duke Qing's mansion, Luluo said a small matter.

"Miss doesn't know where she found out that Song Hao is in the hands of the concubine Shizi, and she just came to make trouble half an hour ago."

"If she comes again, tell her, if you want to see Song Hao, go to prison..."

"Get out of the way, you dare to block my way with anything, Su Tiange, I know you're back, come out and see me." Shen Ziyan's voice sounded in the yard, Su Tiange frowned and pointed to the door, Lu Luo Knowingly walked over and locked the door.

"Su Tiange, come out, I know you are inside. Open the door quickly." Shen Ziyan patted on the door, making a bang bang sound.

Su Tiange is really tired of this stupid thing, after all, she is also a daughter of a noble family, but she doesn't look like a lady, she is just a brainless and bad-tempered bastard.She likes to deal with smart people, obviously Shen Ziyan doesn't fit, so she doesn't bother to deal with her.

"Go back!" Shen Ziyan's voice rang out from the courtyard door, scolding angrily, so shocked that Shen Ziyan's voice immediately became quieter.

"Second brother, I just came to ask her where she locked Song Hao, I'm really worried about him..."

"Such a shameless person, why are you still thinking about him? Go back, or I will let you never see him again." Shen Yan gritted his teeth resentfully and said, quite a bit of resentment.

"I..." Shen Ziyan's voice trailed off, presumably she had already left.At this time, there was a third person's footsteps in the yard. Su Tiange heard it and knew that it was Shen Yu who had returned.
