Chapter 633: How Did Madam Come?
Mr. Xie stroked his beard and explained the situation to Shen Qin. The two sons of the Xie family exchanged glances. They had only returned recently and were often busy with business outside. How could they not know that running a business involved more than just having a ship? Travelling north or south required arrangements, not to mention the potential danger of encountering river bandits along the way. Even more, the freezing of the river surface during winter would cause delays. Considering all these factors, the actual time available for business operations was only around eight months in a year.
Besides these objective conditions, the impact of social connections shouldn't be overlooked. Without powerful backers, how could an ordinary merchant family run a business all the way to the capital? If that were the case, being an Imperial Merchant would be too easy.
So, there must be something fishy behind the Wang family.
Thinking about this, the two sons pondered silently.
Shen Qin nodded in understanding, not saying much. After finishing the meal, he got up to leave with Ye Zhao.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ye Muyu quickly stood up. She found an opportunity to call a servant from the Xie family and sent him to fetch Ye Zhao.
When Ye Zhao was called over by the servant, he was about to leave with the young general. Hearing that it was his second sister looking for him, he instinctively stopped.
Shen Qin noticed his actions and looked at him with curiosity.
The trembling servant dared not speak much.
Ye Zhao quickly bowed. "Young General, it's my second sister looking for me. She said she wants to talk for a moment. Please wait in the adjacent lounge, I'll be back soon."
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you."
Shen Qin let the servant lead him to the lounge.
Ye Zhao rubbed his reddened face due to drinking and quickly walked to the small room outside the dining hall.
Ye Muyu was waiting inside and handed him a bowl of sobering soup. "It's a sobering drink. Elder brother, you should drink it first. I'm just passing on a message from the general."
Ye Zhao felt a bit dizzy but accepted the bowl without refusal. After taking a couple of sips, he heard Ye Muyu talking about the plan to eliminate the bandits.
He had only drunk a little of the sobering soup, but he already felt quite clear-headed. His voice was a bit hoarse as he asked, "Second sister, is what you're saying true?"
"Elder brother, this information comes from the general. I don't know the specifics of how it was obtained. You can investigate it yourself and take action once you're confident. After all, the general is not here, and the detailed situation might change."
"Oh, by the way, Tang Rou's specific location should be known by Tang Chuan."
"Also, elder brother, if you have the chance, please introduce Horse hoof Tied to the young general. I heard he's interested in doing business with a general. It's more convenient than dealing with soldiers. Of course these generals have their own temperaments and requirements. I'm just trying it out."
Ye Zhao's mind was full of thoughts about eliminating the bandits. Suddenly hearing about doing business felt a bit abrupt. However, considering that he hadn't returned home for years and that the family had been relying on his little sister, he realized that running a business could be an alternative.
"All right." Ye Zhao nodded.
"Then, elder brother, I won't keep you any longer. When you have time, come to my house. I'll personally make a meal for you."
"Okay."
Watching Ye Zhao leave, Ye Muyu turned around and was surprised to see Madam Xie behind her. She was startled and immediately bowed to her.
