Chapter 175: Turmoil in the South

"Hahaha, I love to hear these words. You little girl can speak!" Zhu Chong said vaguely while eating jerky meat.

"I don't accept the reward without any merits. That boy Yu Hao brought so many delicious foods. Tell me, what do you want me to do? Do you Haoyue Manor want to develop in my Yunzhou?"

As soon as these words were said, Guan Yueyue was secretly shocked. The King of Pingnan was as greedy as a child on the surface and was careless in his work, but he was extremely smart inside and could see the purpose of his trip at a glance.

"The prince is clear. In addition to visiting the prince under the order of my lord, the little girl also has a task to open the branch of the Haoyue Store to Yunzhou City." Guan Yueyue said truthfully.

Before Guan Yueyue finished speaking, the two stints behind her took two more boxes and walked to Princess Pingnan, slowly opened the box, and saw thirteen crystal clear jade bottles lying quietly inside each box.

Each jade bottle is marked with the smell of each bottle of perfume, jasmine, night fragrance, rose, rose... All the thirteen perfumes in Haoyue Manor are here.

For a moment, the whole main hall was filled with a strong fragrance.

"Is this... the legendary perfume?" Princess Pingnan quickly took out a perfume and opened it to smell it. She almost burst into tears.

The name of perfume has long been spread in the circle of wealthy people in Daqian. In addition, Princess Pingnan often has letters with the rich ladies in Wudu City, and those rich ladies have been praising the good perfume in the letter.

Princess Pingnan wanted to try out if the perfume was as magical as the rumored one.

But after all, perfumes are in short supply in Wudu City. Yunzhou is so far away from Wudu City, even if someone resells perfume, it will not be sold to Yunzhou.

Princess Pingnan had not thought of asking someone to buy a perfume from Wudu City to try it, but Zhu Chong always disagreed.

Because asking someone to buy means owing favors to others, Zhu Chong is a person who is unwilling to owe favors, and he does not want the emperor to know that he has connections with the nobles in the court.

So, Princess Pingnan has always been known only and has no appearance. It is her dream to own a bottle of perfume.

Now that thirteen perfumes are placed in front of her, how could she not be excited?

Moreover, we learned from the letters of those rich wives that the two perfumes, Jasmine and Ye Laixiang, are very rare even in Wudu City and cannot be bought even if you have money.

And she not only got these two rare perfumes, but also had two bottles of each!

"Back to the princess, this is the perfume developed by our lord. These two sets of perfumes are gifts to the princess."

Seeing Princess Pingnan's love for perfume, Guan Yueyue smiled slightly. Sure enough, no woman could resist the temptation of perfume.

"Then I'll thank you for your husband." Princess Pingnan said with a smile, and quickly put away the two sets of perfume, for fear of being stolen by others.

Seeing that the princess had a gift, Zhu Chong curled his lips, his eyes full of jealousy, thinking that the gift Yu Hao prepared for him would not be the ones that were eaten, right?

Is this guy too stingy?

Guan Yueyue naturally noticed Zhu Chong's eyes and hurriedly said, "Prince, our lord has also prepared gifts for the prince, and please accept them with a smile."

As he said that, Guan Yueyue personally came to Zhu Chong with a box in front of him, and opened the box in Zhu Chong's expectant eyes, and saw a water jade the size of a fingernail lying quietly in the box.

The moment he saw Shui Yu, Zhu Chong's breathing became rapid, his eyes widened, and he looked in disbelief: "This...is this Shui Yu?"

"The prince has a good opinion. This water jade was specially prepared by our Lord for the prince. I hope the prince likes it." Guan Yueyue said with a smile.

King Pingnan quickly took the water jade out of the box and put it in his hand and started playing with it carefully.

This is really water jade, it is really water jade!

A huge wave was stirred up in King Pingnan's heart. I couldn't figure out how Shuiyu fell into Yu Hao's hands. This gift was so expensive!

You know, the Western envoy gave the emperor Zhu Song a water jade, which was embedded on his sword by Zhu Song, and Zhu Chong was jealous for a long time.

He even asked Zhu Song for many times, but Zhu Song refused for various reasons.

Although this water jade is not as big as the one on Zhu Song’s sword, it is more round and transparent than that one, and its value is definitely above Zhu Song’s!

"Little girl, go back and tell that boy Yu Hao that I like this gift." Zhu Chong said with a smile, his eyes always staying on the water jade, and he kept praising him while playing.

"It's good if the prince likes it. Then, our Haoyue Manor is in Yunzhou and ask the prince to take care of him." Guan Yueyue said hurriedly.

"It's easy to say, you can just open the store to the palace. Oh, I didn't expect that I have Shuiyu, and it's better than Zhu Song's. Will he be angry to death if he knows it? Hahaha!" Zhu Chong smiled wickedly, looking proud.

At this moment, Zhu Chong suddenly thought of something and his face became serious: "I almost forgot, little girl, you are here to open a store in Yunzhou now, and it is probably not the time to come."

As soon as these words were spoken, Guan Yueyue frowned: "Why did the prince say this?"

Since entering Yunzhou, it has been a prosperous scene. People come and go on the streets and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so it should be very suitable for opening a store!

Zhu Chong sighed and said, "Since you are Yu Hao's person, I won't hide it from you. The barbarians in the south have not been very honest recently, and it seems that they will invade at any time."

"This morning, the general guarding Shahe Pass sent people to say that the barbarians gathered hundreds of thousands of people, intending to invade our Daqian. I have just mobilized the army and plan to go to Shahe Pass in person tomorrow morning."

Shahe Pass is the gateway to the south of Daqian and also a military city in Yunzhou. If the barbarians want to invade Daqian, they must first attack Shahe Pass.

"Is it going to fight?" Guan Yueyue was shocked. She was about to fight as soon as she arrived in Yunzhou. Isn't this too unlucky?

Besides, the barbarians are much more honest than the Huns. At most, small troops occasionally attack border towns, and there are rarely large-scale invasions. Why do we suddenly fight?

Except for the cloth and porcelain used by the people, Haoyue Store is basically all luxury goods, and the target group is the rich people in Yunzhou.

Once the fight starts, these rich people will definitely leave Yunzhou, which will have a significant impact on the business of Haoyue Store by then.

Guan Yueyue is not afraid of war, and she has been used to bloody storms along the way. What she is afraid of is that she cannot complete the task assigned to her by Yu Hao!

"Although the barbarians are coming in a fierce manner, they are always wandering around a hundred miles away from my Shahe Pass. It is hard to say whether the fight will start."

"But don't worry, Miss Guan. Even if the barbarians come, I will never let the barbarians cross Shaheguan! Since you are here, please feel free to open a store. Although it will have a certain impact on your business, the problem should not be big." Zhu Chong said.
