Chapter 200 5 Boxes of Treasures for Ointment
Tang Xirou was extremely anxious. This kind of ointment was extremely rare and it was very difficult to get a jar. It was priceless.
I was afraid that the girl would be obsessed with money and agree to it in a fit of anger.
But she couldn't say it at the moment. After all, the ointment originally belonged to her sister. If her sister really sold it, she would just feel bad.
Tang Xiluo's eyes lit up, but he still pretended to be in deep thought.
"Noble Lady Yao, you also know that this ointment is very rare..." He didn't finish his words, leaving the other half.
It's hard to tell what she means.
But Lady Yao was originally from a merchant family, so how could she not see through her intentions?
Isn't it just that they couldn't agree on the price? But price is not the problem. The last thing her family lacks is money. They are already so rich that it is unimaginable.
Tang Xiluo didn't need anyone to explain it to him. He knew that the nobleman in front of him was very rich, so rich that he was even stuffed into the harem. How could he be from an ordinary family?
The harem is full of women of officials. In order to balance the situation in the court, merchants in this era are looked down upon and their status is not as high as that of farmers.
It is conceivable how wealthy she was to be able to enter the harem.
Therefore, this box of treasures in front of him is nothing at all to this noble man.
Concubine Yao quickly stuffed the box into her hands, fearing that she would change her mind.
"Princess Chen, you misunderstood. This is just a deposit. I'm paying it first to show my sincerity."
She had originally intended to exchange it for only this box of treasures, but she had not expected the princess to have such a big appetite.
But now she understood that the ointment was a priceless treasure. After seeing the jar of ointment, she immediately regretted that she only took such a box of treasure.
The jars containing the ointment are also made of top-quality materials. Just this one jar is priceless. This box of treasures really does not look down on the ointment.
The princess did not explicitly refuse, which meant that there was still room for further negotiation. She had to buy the ointment.
Tang Xiluo blinked, "How much balance do you plan to pay?"
Concubine Yao was a little undecided at this moment, and she looked at Tang Xiluo tentatively.
"How much does Princess Chen want?"
Then he quickly added, "As much as you want, Princess, just name your price."
Tang Xiluo's eyes lit up. It was too easy to make money in the harem, wasn't it? He had discovered a business opportunity!
"Ahem, if we take four more boxes like this, will Lady Yao think it's a bit expensive?"
Concubine Yao felt a little painful. In fact, this was a considerable amount of money. However, in order to win favor, she was still willing to spend a huge amount of money.
After all, her family is no longer short of money, and they all hope that their daughter can climb higher. Once she has money, she wants power.
"Okay, I'll come over in a few days to pay the final payment. Princess, when do you think I can give it to you?"
Tang Xiluo blinked, "How many days is a few days? Lady Yao, you know that many people want the ointment..."
Concubine Yao gritted her teeth and said, "Tomorrow! I will come to pay the balance tomorrow. Princess, will you come to the palace tomorrow?"
Tang Xiluo nodded, "If Lady Yao is sincere in asking for medicine, I can still come in tomorrow."
In fact, I already feel a little regretful. What I said was indeed right. There are many people in the harem who are coveting my sister's ointment.
I should just hold an auction, and whoever in the harem offers the highest price can take it. This way I might make more money.
What a pity, what a pity, what a pity that I am so short-sighted that I only focus on the big enemy in front of me, when there are obviously many more big enemies!
When Concubine Yao heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, "Thank you so much, Princess, for giving up this love with great reluctance."
It’s a bit expensive, but it’s worth it! Good things should be bought at a high price.
"Then this ointment..." Can you give it to me now?
Tang Xiluo calmly took a sip of tea and said, "I'll give it to you after you pay the final payment tomorrow. I don't trust you, so let's just follow the rules."
Concubine Yao glanced at the ointment eagerly, but finally nodded despite her impatience.
"Okay, then I won't disturb you two sisters from reminiscing about the past. I'll take my leave now."
She had to go back quickly to collect the jewelry and money as the final payment was due tomorrow.
She was always happy when she went out, which showed how much she wanted the ointment.
After Concubine Yao left, Tang Xirou was still in shock and hadn't recovered.
Tang Xiluo stretched out a hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Tang Xirou came back to her senses and was stunned when she saw a box of jewelry on the table.
"Five... five boxes of jewelry and gold?!"
Is this too much? Although she knew that the ointment was valuable and hard to find, this was five boxes! This was not a small amount, it was the amount that an ordinary person would have to spend in dozens of lifetimes!
Tang Xiluo nodded, "Don't worry, sister, whoever sees it will get a share. I'll give you the deposit, and I'll keep the other four boxes for future use."
You have to get one box from the relief hall, save one for yourself, and give one to your eldest brother to subsidize the army.
Tang Xirou quickly shook her head, "No, no, Luoluo, you keep it for yourself." She was already doing very well in the harem, and the rewards from the emperor were already more than enough.
Although she said no, her sister still pushed the box in front of her.
"Sister, take it. Although you can't see anything now, the emperor will definitely order the entire palace to be frugal in the future."
The treasury is empty, and there are soldiers on the border waiting for supplies. The first thing to do is to save money in the palace, and then extend it to various officials.
Tang Xirou also noticed that the portions of dishes served to the concubines in the harem had been reduced, and even the clothes they wore had been reduced.
"Lolo, it's a shame to sell the ointment like this..."
I didn't know which side to look at for a moment.
Tang Xiluo shrugged and returned the ointment she had just given her.
"Sister, take this can."
Tang Xirou: "? ? ? I will hand it over to Lady Yao tomorrow? Didn't you say you would come in in person?"
"I want you to take this bottle of ointment and use it yourself. I won't give it to anyone else." Tang Xiluo was almost amused by her.
Tang Xirou was completely stunned, her pupils dilated with fear.
"Lolo, are you trying to... get something for nothing?"
But everyone knows each other, if this gets out...
Luo Luo was the Princess of Chen! If this was spread... she couldn't even imagine what would happen.
Tang Xiluo couldn't help laughing, "Sister, why didn't I realize that you have such a wild imagination before? How did you figure out that I could get something for nothing?"
Tang Xirou rolled her eyes at her in anger, "Don't you know what kind of character you are? Can't you do this?"
I am even more worried because I know she is this kind of person!
Tang Xiluo was glared at by her and felt a little helpless. Is his image so bad now?
"Ahem, hem, sister, look what this is!"
As she spoke, she took out the ointment from her pocket.
Tang Xirou: “?!!”
Her eyes switched back and forth, looking at what her sister was holding and then looking at what she was holding.
I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.
