The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Xie Lin retracted his gaze and uttered two words softly: "I won't buy it."

Turn around and leave.

Gu Yu frowned and subconsciously stopped him: "I know that Xie's family has a hundred-acre osmanthus garden in the west of the city, but it is not enough. Third Master Xie, you know that if you miss our store, there will be no such good thing again."

Xie Lin's expression was still very calm, neither sad nor happy, and he still said those two words: "I won't buy it."

Guyu couldn't believe his ears.

However, Xie Lin walked past him without any reluctance.

What does that mean? Guyu thought, could it be that he thinks the price is too high and is waiting for me to lower it?

Many people like to threaten the boss to lower the price by "pretending to leave" when they go shopping. As the head of the Xie family, Mr. Xie Sanye must be well aware of this.

Gu Yu stood there, watching Xie Lin walk away from him step by step, one step, two steps, three steps...

I have to say, the head of the Xie family is not only stunningly beautiful, but even his back is so graceful.

Guyu was distracted for a moment and forgot to count. When he came back to his senses, he found that Xie Lin had already walked into the Xie family's gate.

She looked at the housekeeper, Wangshan and others, and saw that they had all gone away to do their own things and no one paid any attention to her.

It was as if what she brought was not the top-quality osmanthus bonsai, but some common and worthless wild flowers and weeds.

"Sister Guyu, what should we do now?" someone around her asked her.

Guyu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "Arrange two people to wander around. I believe that within three days, the Xie family will definitely ask us to buy osmanthus flowers. When the time comes, you will be responsible for bringing them here."

Guyu thought to herself that the price would not be just 500 wen per pot at that time, and her young lady would definitely be able to raise the price to the point where the head of the Xie family would be furious.

In addition to Xie Lin, Guyu also has to go to other places to sell osmanthus at a high price to people in need.

Because in addition to the decoration of the imperial palace, Shengjing City also needed to be decorated, and officials from various prefectures who wanted to show their loyalty to the emperor and congratulate the empress dowager also needed to buy osmanthus.

It’s just that the demand is not as great as that in Shengjing City.

She is very busy.

As for the Xie family, she decided to come back in three days.

As a result, on the next day, Wangshan took people to the Osmanthus Garden in the west of the city, loaded the pots of osmanthus flowers into a truck, and sent them to the palace.

On the third day, Wangshan was still able to bring people to take out osmanthus flowers from various territories of the Xie family and send them to the palace.

It took three whole days of transportation, working from morning till night, day and night, to finally deliver the five million pots of osmanthus needed by the palace and other places.

Chu Runxue soon learned the news. She stood up from her chair, walked around the room twice, and her face gradually turned cold.

"Xie Lin was born weak, but he still became the head of the Xie family. He is actually quite capable. I was actually deceived by him." Chu Runxue said.

Guyu was puzzled.

"At first, he disagreed with the Xie family replacing all the osmanthus flowers with chrysanthemums, thus preserving the Xie family's base. Later, he pretended to regret it and deliberately said in front of Chu Heyi and Xie Zhun that each family had already invested their money in chrysanthemums. This could be done! Let outsiders think that the Xie family had also joined the game!"

Chu Runxue took a deep breath, her eyes were cold: "I underestimated Xie Lin, this ancient... this person!"

Xie Lin said those words in front of Xie Zhun and Chu Heyi, clearly intending to use these two people to spread the news of his "entry into the game". In fact, he had never entered the game at all.

However, the covert manipulation by Xie Zhun and Xie Shaobai interfered with her vision and cognition, preventing her from realizing the truth at the first time.

No wonder when Guyu came to Xie’s house to find him, he could simply say “I won’t buy it”!

It was really her who stretched her face in front of Xie Lin and made him slap her hard!

Chu Runxue felt a burning pain on her cheeks at this moment.

"Mr. Xie is such a cunning man!" Guyu gritted her teeth. She had originally planned to severely suppress the Xie family's prestige in three days, but ended up getting slapped in the face. It was really infuriating.

Chu Runxue did not respond. She suddenly had an idea and remembered something, and took a breath.

"Before, I always thought that there weren't that many osmanthus flowers collected. Now it seems that when we were buying osmanthus flowers at a low price, Third Master Xie must have also sent people to secretly buy osmanthus flowers!"

I bought it at a low price then and I am selling it at a high price now.

The Xie family needed to sell osmanthus flowers to the imperial palace, so if they did not buy or sell them, they would not lose money, but would make money like in previous years.

The osmanthus flowers that they bought at a low price and sold at a high price will be sold elsewhere... All the money lost by Xie Zhun and Xie Shaobai will be made up by Xie Lin!

Calculated in this way, the Xie family neither gained nor lost money overall.

But from the perspective of the Xie family, Xie Lin was the hero, while Xie Zhun and Xie Shaobai were drags. Chu Runxue could almost imagine that the uncle and nephew no longer had the ability to compete with Xie Lin.

Chu Runxue then thought that although the Xie family as a whole neither made any profit nor a loss, they still occupied a certain share. She originally wanted the Xie family to pay the lion's share, but in this way, the profit she got from it was directly reduced by at least 30%!

She had originally promised the emperor that she would earn him four million taels before the end of this year, but now 30% has been reduced, leaving less than three million taels!

It is even possible that there is only a little over two million taels left.

"Miss, what should we do next?" Guyu asked.

What else can we do? The situation has already happened and there is no way to change it. Naturally, we can only accept it!

But it doesn’t matter. If this round fails, she still has a second round. Doesn’t Chu Heyi have an iron mine in his hands?

She remembered that the salt monopoly alone accounted for 55.5% of the total fiscal revenue in the Tang Dynasty. Add in iron...that was an absolute huge profit!

She went back to suggest to the emperor that salt and iron should be the exclusive business of the imperial court, and she concealed this news from Chu Heyi - after all, Chu Heyi had an iron mine and she was not allowed to know about it. Then she would say that she did not know that Chu Heyi had an iron mine...

The punishment for privately mining salt and iron is very severe.

Chu Runxue raised a faint smile on her lips: "Ever since Xie Shaobai caused my eldest brother to lose his legs last time, Chu Heyi seems to have become very close to the Xie family."

Gu Yu said: "The Patriarch of the Xie family is so beautiful that no man or woman in the world can match him. It is said that Miss Heyi fell in love with the Patriarch of the Xie family at first sight. She was so excited that she cried when they first met, and she wanted to throw herself into the arms of the Patriarch of the Xie family, even forgetting the hatred between the Chu and Xie families."

Chu Runxue said: "In this case, I will do a good deed and let her marry the head of the Xie family."

After a woman gets married, she belongs to her husband's family.

At that time, if Chu Heyi privately mined the iron ore, it would be equivalent to the Xie family privately mining. After the Xie family’s property was confiscated, all the Xie family’s huge wealth would belong to the court!

Gu Yu said: "Miss Heyi grew up in the countryside and had no one to teach her. She should be grateful to the eldest lady for being able to marry the head of the Xie family."

Chu Runxue didn't say anything. She had no intention of being an enemy of Chu Heyi or Xie Lin. It was just that the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and the Xie Mansion had something she wanted.

The world is so big, the mountains and rivers are so vast, the power is so great, and the wealth is so abundant, it should be taken by those who are capable!

Chu Runxue was thinking about the next game here, but in the end she found out that the money she estimated to earn from the Osmanthus game was 30% less than she thought!

The one who ate up this 30% was Chu Heyi, who was completely unprepared!
