Chapter 132: Fawning
No one in the lobby expressed any objection to the county lord's arrangements. After all, in this area, the county lord was basically the most powerful and everyone had to rely on her.
Jiang Changle ignored those young masters and ladies and discussed some official business news with the county lady.
Mo Chen quietly served her food, looking very virtuous, which made Mo Yi at the next table frown.
Wasn't Mo Chen being too humble? He remembered that he was still a member of the Mo family. The woman surnamed Jiang wasn't a royal princess. Why should he be so respectful to her and belittle himself? Wouldn't that tarnish the reputation of the Mo family?
You must know that Mo Chen once had a happy time with fine clothes and horses, but now he is not even as good as an ordinary child from a side branch. It is truly a matter of time and fate.
However, if he married Lady Jiang, this wouldn't be necessary.
After listening to the conversation between Jiang Changle and the county lord, Mo Yi knew that Jiang Changle's business was quite big, especially when Jiang Changle presented shoes and boots to the county lord.
Everyone present was amazed by the shoes. They ignored etiquette and came over to watch the county lady try on the shoes.
The first pair was a pair of short brown leather shoes, which fit the county lady perfectly after she put them on with a pair of thin socks.
"Hahaha, this is so comfortable, right? No wonder Old Liu was showing off to me like crazy.
"Okay, okay, Changle, you immediately arrange for more people to produce it, and I'll have them sell it to Kyoto, and make a fortune before the New Year."
The county lady suddenly lost her composure. This kind of shoes is durable and good-looking. If it is made into military boots, it can directly improve the strength of the soldiers.
"Oh yes, I need to submit a petition to the imperial court first. Changle, is this okay? By then, you should be able to become an imperial merchant."
If she can successfully become an imperial merchant, then the future of Acid Rain Village will be stable, and at the same time, it will boost the economy of their border town, and the prosperity of her city is just around the corner!
"Hahaha! Good, good, good!" As soon as the county lady thought of those benefits, she couldn't help laughing, and changed from her brown shoes to boots.
"Well, this one is also good. It has fleece on the top layer. The winter version is super warm and waterproof! Wonderful! Changle, you are really smart."
Who is she? A fairy, right? Otherwise, how could a mortal create something so amazing?
"Changle, are pigments added to the leather and soles?" Boss He understood immediately and saw the clue quickly.
"Yes, so we need Sister He to provide the paint. You should be able to mix black and brown, right?
Other colors are also needed. The upper of the shoe can be made of leather or cloth. In short, dye is needed for all of them.”
When dyes and cloth came on the market, Miss Lan Wu was interested, as her family happened to be in the weaving business.
Yan Liang was completely stunned. Dyes? Pigments! Isn't that the Yan family's business?
But he had insulted Jiang Changle before, so the Yan family might not have a chance.
Anyone who does business can see how good the Jiang family's shoes are and how huge the profits are. If they can really become a royal merchant, then they will naturally be extremely wealthy.
The merchants who supplied raw materials for the shoes would also become rich, but he personally gave away such a good opportunity.
When Yan Liang thought of this, his face turned pale. How would he explain to his mother when he returned home about losing a big client like Jiang Changle?
Thinking of the cruel methods his mother used to use, Yan Liang's body began to tremble. Could he still think of a way to fight for it again?
Seduction works? But compared to Mo Chen, he seems like ash slag~
Miss Lan Wu did not have so many concerns. She had never offended Jiang Changle, so she still had a good chance.
She immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Jiang Changle, "Madam Jiang, do you need to purchase fabric for shoe uppers? My He family's fabrics are the best in the world, Boss He should know that."
Boss He once supplied dyes to the Lan family, but unfortunately she was unable to survive the Yan family in many business wars and fell into defeat. However, Boss He must be very clear about the Kyoto Lan family.
Miss Lan Wu looked at Boss He for help, but Boss He didn't even raise his eyes.
During the cooperation, she had been tolerant and flattering to the Lan family, but she no longer did business with the Lan family, and the decline of the He family was also caused by the Lan family.
Why does Lan Wu think that she will still side with the Lan family?
Ha, that's ridiculous. If the Lan family had good intentions and were honest and generous in doing business, then it wouldn't be a problem for her to mediate between them, but the Lan family is not a good family.
If Boss He introduced her to Jiang Changle, it would be harmful to her, so he simply kept silent.
Jiang Changle smiled casually, "No need, I went to Boss He to buy dyes, because I plan to weave the cloth myself."
They will be competitors sooner or later, so there is no need for Jiang Changle to hide it.
Miss Lan Wu was shocked again. Just how much more could this Lady Jiang have? How could she even weave? That was a miraculous skill unique to the Lan family; it couldn't possibly be leaked.
So, does Jiang Changle really know how to weave? And how did she acquire the skills?
"Mrs. Jiang, have you been to Kyoto?" Miss Lan Wu was young after all, and her face had become gloomy at this time. She no longer had the polite compliments at the beginning, and there was even a hint of questioning in her tone.
Jiang Changle chuckled again, "I don't know. I was once assassinated and seriously injured. I don't remember some things, such as my origins."
If she just won't say anything, what can you do to her? At this moment, Jiang Changle had a bit of a rogue attitude.
This immediately angered Miss Lan Wu, but she fell in love with her beastly husband Mo Chen. He couldn't help but pinch Jiang Changle's hand hidden in his sleeve. His wife was being naughty again.
Miss Lan Wu did not dare to show her disapproval or threaten Jiang Changle again. She knew very well that she could not defeat Jiang Changle alone, so she could only swallow her anger.
Jiang Changle didn't have time to argue with these people, she still had to go and see Yang Qianqian.
Naturally, the woman's illness was treated in private. She followed the county lord and Yang Qianqian to her room. Mo Chen, being a male, could only stay in the hall and talk with Boss He about some preliminary cooperation matters.
It just so happens that Mo Chen is in charge of the purchases for the Jiang family and the workshop, and he actually has a lot of power.
This made Mo Yi even more shocked, and he couldn't help but become warmer to Mo Chen, "Brother Mo Chen, it's been many years since we last met. I wonder if you ended up in Nanjiu City. How have you been these years?"
Since Mo Chen married into the powerful Jiang family, if he didn't have some background, it would have been very difficult for him to stay in the Jiang family, right?
Even when facing his wife, he is so humble and doting.
He must really want to find the Mo family again, right? Perhaps he could be his chance. If Mo Chen agreed to his request, Mo Yi thought he could also introduce him to someone else.
Unexpectedly, Mo Chen taunted him softly, "You don't need to pretend to be familiar with me. I can't give you what you want, so naturally, I don't want to give it to you. Everything in the Mo family has nothing to do with me, and the same goes for you."
Mo Jia's kindness in giving birth to a child was repaid after his mermaid pearl was taken away.
Don't metaphysicians emphasize cause and effect? He had already understood cause and effect, and from then on, Mo Chen had a clear conscience in the Mohist school.
His entire heart now can only hold Jiang Changle~
