The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 306
Lin Qingqian got up, and Chun Xia Qiu Dong came in to help her wash and dress. She caught a glimpse of the plum blossoms in the vase and asked, "Did you go to the garden today?"

Chun Xia said: "Miss Hui, the slaves didn't break it, it was Gu Bo who sent it early this morning."

"Uncle Gu?"

"Well... oh, by the way, Uncle Gu also gave the servant a purse, saying that Mr. Gu gave it to him when he returned to the mansion last month, and told him to give it to the young lady as winning money today."

Lin Qingqian took the purse that Chunxia handed over, opened it, and found real money inside.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, "It seems that Brother Chang Geng really gave it to me..."

The vague worries in his heart disappeared for a while, it seems that he shouldn't have done anything excessive to Gu Changgeng when he was drunk last time.

A few more days passed.

Standing in front of the window, Lin Qingqian looked at the heavy snow outside, and said in a low voice, "This year's snow is much bigger than previous years..."

Chun Xia put on the cloak for Lin Qingqian, and said, "Yes, this year is much colder than usual, if it gets colder, in two days, the water in this pool should freeze."

Speaking of icing, Lin Qingqian shuddered and suddenly remembered something.

The ice is stored in the ice cellar until summer. The drinks sold in Yanyu Building have no ice, so the taste is not as good as the modern ones. Many drinks can’t be made, such as shaved ice. If the ice is stored, in summer, the drinks with ice will definitely be big sale.

Lin Qingqian pondered for a while, and said: "Han Yue, come here, when you go out of the house, I have some things I need to let Shopkeeper Li do."

"Yes, ma'am."

Han Yue leaned over, Lin Qingqian whispered something to her in a low voice, and after finishing speaking, Han Yue said: "Miss, don't worry, I've remembered everything, and I will tell Shopkeeper Li verbatim."

Lin Qingqian nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, you go, be careful on the road, it's cold, you should come back earlier."

"Yes."

Han Yue turned around and backed away.

Lin Qingqian told Hanyue to tell shopkeeper Li to ask him to find a few people to build an ice cellar. The ice cellar was built in a cool place, deep underground, with straw and reed mats as a bedding, and in a few days, people would dig ice in places with good water quality. , Then hide it in the ice cellar, cover it with rice bran leaves, etc., seal the ice cellar mouth, and enjoy it in summer.

After Hanyue left, Lin Qingqian went to Jinglanyuan to greet the old lady and talk with her, and when she returned to Liuyuan after lunch, Hanyue had already returned.

"Miss, I will tell shopkeeper Li everything you explained. Shopkeeper Li will let you rest assured that he will order someone to take care of it."

Lin Qingqian nodded, "That's good."

"By the way, shopkeeper Li also mentioned that Mr. Rong ordered someone to come to Yue Lai Fang, saying that the businessman from Western Chu has come to the capital city. If Miss is free these two days, I will go there in person."

Lin Qingqian naturally felt that Rong Jing said to introduce herself to a businessman in the dyeing workshop in Xichu. Upon hearing this, she responded, "Okay, I see. Let's go there tomorrow."

"Yes, ma'am."

……

Early the next morning.

Lin Qingqian changed into men's clothes, took Hanyue and sneaked out of the mansion from Liyuan, and walked to Yanyu Building. Just after the first day, the business of Yanyu Building was still booming. Seeing that Huai'an was busy, she stopped a waiter and asked : "Is Young Master Rong here?"

"Mr. Lin, you are here. Mr. Rong is here. He is in the upstairs wing now. You can just go up and look for him."

Lin Qingqian nodded, "Understood, you can go about your work."

"Okay, the little one is busy first, and Mr. Lin will tell you if there is something to do."

Lin Qingqian walked up the stairs familiarly, Yang Cong saw him and said, "Mr. Lin, please come in. You are waiting for you inside."

Lin Qingqian stepped into the room, thinking, how did Rongjing know that she would come today?
Rong Jing was sitting in front of the desk, playing the piano, and the melodious sound of the piano flowed from his fingertips, making people feel refreshed.

He stopped the fingers that were plucking the strings, raised his eyes, smiled slightly, he was so handsome, and said in a gentle voice: "Youqian, please sit down, I'll make you a pot of hot tea."

"Thank you."

Lin Qingqian took a sip of the fragrant tea, put down the cup, and said directly: "Rong Jing, the businessman from Western Chu you mentioned, has he come to the capital?"

Rong Jing: "Well, you Qian don't worry, I mentioned you and Yue Laifang, he wants to meet you very much, that Boss Wang is currently living in the inn, I have asked Yang Cong to send someone to inform, after a while , and he will come."

Sure enough, not long after, this Boss Wang came over, and Yang Cong personally led him in.

Rong Jing said: "Boss Wang, let me introduce you. This is the Mr. Lin I mentioned to you, who is now running the Yanyu Building in partnership with me."

Boss Wang is in his early forties, with a simple and kind face. Hearing this, he smiled heartily, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you. Mr. Wang has heard Mr. Rong mention you. You are young, but this business is booming."

Lin Qingqian stood up and bowed her hands in return: "Where is that? Boss Wang praised me absurdly. I have to ask Boss Wang to take care of my little brother more in the future."

"I don't dare to be a caregiver, but Wang is still very happy to do business with Mr. Lin."

"That is my honor."

Rong Jing said: "Let's sit down and talk."

Boss Wang smiled and said, "Okay...let's sit down and talk."

After sitting down, Lin Qingqian said: "Boss Wang, I heard that you run a dyeing workshop in the Western Chu State. It is like this. I have a clothing store and I need a lot of cloth of various materials and colors. I just want to see Boss Wang. It can’t be given to us cheaper.”

"This..." Boss Wang hesitated.

Lin Qingqian said: "Boss Wang, what concerns do you have? But it's okay to say."

"Okay, then Wang will just say it straight."

Boss Wang said: "Many cloth houses in Beiming do import cloth from the West Chu, and the price from the dyeing workshop is naturally lower. If Mr. Lin wants it, the price is easy to negotiate, but you need to transport it all the way back to Kyoto. Calculate it with manual labor. The price of the cloth imported from the cloth shop is not much different."

Lin Qingqian pondered for a moment. Boss Wang's words were reasonable, but she had forgotten this before.

"but……"

Rong Jing said: "But what? Boss Wang, please tell me."

Boss Wang said: "Now that the Western Chu Kingdom and the Beiming Kingdom have formed an alliance and have been friends for a hundred years, the conditions for commodity transactions between the two countries have also been relaxed. I want to open a dyeing workshop in the Beiming Kingdom and bring the dyeing workshop's skills to Beiming. Come, this also saves the trouble of transporting the dyed cloth.”

Lin Qingqian said: "So Boss Wang means..."

"Business is risky. My family is not very rich. I am afraid that I will lose money if I open a dyeing workshop in an unfamiliar place. I see Mr. Lin is interested. Why don't we open a dyeing workshop together, and the workers in the dyeing workshop will be chosen by me personally. Come over a few, each one is better at dyeing cloth than the other, you can rest assured about this, Mr. Lin."

Lin Qingqian thought deeply, "It's not impossible..."

"Since now, the profit of the dyeing workshop is [-]% or [-]%, how about it? [-]% for the next, and [-]% for Mr. Lin."

Lin Qingqian laughed lightly, "Boss Wang, we are all businessmen. You're putting me at a disadvantage, isn't that good? After all, I also bear half of the risk."

"Mr. Lin means..."

"I won't let Boss Wang suffer, so let's do it, [-]% and [-]% for each of us."

"This..." Boss Wang hesitated for a long while, and said with a hard heart, "Okay! Seeing that Mr. Lin is a straightforward person, I will make Mr. Lin a friend. It is settled like this, and Mr. Lin will be troubled by the place where the dyeing workshop is opened. "

"Boss Wang, don't worry, leave this matter to me!"
