Chapter 69
Xie Xinghan said: "Of course, fleets usually don't travel empty."
"Then what are you transporting back?"
"That depends on the price difference between Jiankang and Jingzhou. At this time of year..." Xie Xinghan stopped suddenly and asked suspiciously: "Why are you asking this?"
Wang Yang's eyes flashed: "I have a business I want to discuss with Xie Xie Niangzi. Xie Xie Niangzi, please look..."
He opened his paper fan: "This object is called a folding fan. I ordered it to be made by someone. It is the only one in the world. It can be folded when not in use, like this... and it can also be played with in the hand..." Wang Yang learned the appearance of turning the fan in a TV show, but his hand slipped, and the fan almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly used both hands to barely catch it.
Xie Xinghan and Chen Qingshan both had expressions of "quietly watching your performance."
Wang Yang coughed:
"In short, this object is elegant when used, much better than round fans or group fans! The cost of this fan is twenty coins, and the selling price is one hundred coins. I plan to transport ten thousand folding fans to the capital to sell. You only need to be responsible for the ships to transport the goods and the sales in the capital. Finally, divide half of the money sold with me. You let your father use one, and then send some to your uncles and aunts. It won't be long before these ten thousand folding fans will be sold out! By then, if you sell one million coins, you will be able to get five hundred thousand!"
Wang Yang became happier the more he talked!
Xie Xinghan glanced at Wang Yang sideways and stretched out her white, delicate little hand, palm up, like a noble and cold princess.
Wang Yang had something to ask of her, so he had to respectfully present the folding fan with both hands.
Xie Xinghan examined the folding fan carefully and said: "It is indeed a fresh object, but it is a bit troublesome to open and close it when using it. Apart from a few people who like it for fun, who else would buy it?"
"This is not just for fun! Give me the fan, and I'll demonstrate it for you. This fan must be used like this."
Wang Yang took the folding fan, opened it with a crisp sound, and made the appearance of a young master shaking a fan: "Do you feel it?"
Xie Xinghan shook her head expressionlessly.
Chen Qingshan looked away speechlessly.
Wang Yang was a bit embarrassed: "You don't understand for now, it doesn't matter. Five days later, this fan will definitely be popular in Jingzhou. By then, you will know how popular this fan is."
Xie Xinghan's star-like eyes moved: "Okay, if it really becomes popular, then I will cooperate with you, but the premise is that you promise me one thing first."
"What thing?"
"There is a pure conversation gathering this afternoon. You go with me. I want to compete with you again, a fair and square competition," Xie Xinghan said extremely seriously.
"It sounds like the last time wasn't fair and square..."
Xie Xinghan's star-like eyes narrowed, and murderous intent appeared.
This "cooperative partner" could not be offended, so Wang Yang immediately said: "I am willing to compete with you again."
"If you lose, tell me your true origin. You cannot lie," Xie Xinghan emphasized the word "true."
Wang Yang's heart jumped, and he smiled: "True origin? What does Xie Xie Niangzi mean?"
Xie Xinghan didn't speak, looking at Wang Yang with interest, star light flickering in her eyes, as if it had penetrating power, enough to see through all the secrets hidden by the other party.
Where did the flaw appear?
Does she know something?
Xie Xinghan just looked at Wang Yang, until Wang Yang felt uncomfortable all over, and then she smiled: "I don't mean anything! Is Young Master Wang afraid that I will ask?"
The smile was innocent, and there was a hint of cunning playfulness.
Wang Yang also smiled: "What's wrong with this? If Xie Xie Niangzi wins against me, I will naturally tell the truth, but if Xie Xie Niangzi loses..."
He looked at Xie Xinghan, his eyes smiling and full of interest, just looking back and forth, but not saying anything.
This time it was Xie Xinghan's turn to be annoyed. She took two steps back and said vigilantly: "What do you want to do?"
Wang Yang laughed loudly, learning Xie Xinghan's previous tone:
"I don't want to do anything! Is Xie Xie Niangzi afraid that I will do something?"
"Boring." Xie Xinghan turned around, moved her lotus steps lightly, and boarded the ox cart.
Seeing Xiao Ning quietly glared at Wang Yang, then put on a polite smile: "At the beginning of the Shen hour this afternoon, my lady will come to pick up the young master."
Wang Yang said: "No trouble. Tell me the address, and I will go there myself."
Seeing Xiao Ning smiled slightly: "I'm afraid that without my lady, the young master might not be able to get in."
"Where is it?"
"Seeing Xiao Ning." Xie Xinghan called out from the cart.
Seeing Xiao Ning bowed to Wang Yang properly and lifted the curtain to enter the cart.
The ox cart started slowly. Wang Yang thought for a moment, walked up quickly, and said: "Thank you, Xie Xie Niangzi."
Xie Xinghan's calm voice came from inside the cart window: "Just on the way."
"I'm talking about Xie Xie Niangzi coming to the Commandery School to find me today."
Wang Yang guessed that Xie Xinghan naming him in front of everyone today was to pave the way for his identity. Even coming to pick him up for the gathering in person might have this meaning.
Because in this way, the fact that the Wang clan of Langya was studying at the Commandery School would soon spread throughout Jingzhou, so that it would be more logical for him to represent the Commandery School in battle in the future.
Although Xie Xinghan did this for the Commandery School, Wang Yang was still very grateful to her.
After all, with the endorsement of the young lady of the Xie clan of Chen Commandery, his identity was more reliable. It could invisibly reduce a lot of suspicion and trouble.
Xie Xinghan didn't answer. The ox cart moved forward in silence, but it only traveled a few steps before stopping again.
Wang Yang walked up in confusion. Xie Xinghan lifted a corner of the cart window curtain and said: "If you have money to raise a guard, you might as well change your clothes."
"Change clothes?" Wang Yang subconsciously looked down at his white clothes.
"Real Yulin cloth has a faint yellow halo in the sunlight. When the current Son of Heaven traveled on the dragon boat several times, the clothes of the attendants rowing the boat were all made of this cloth. Your clothes look like it but aren't. Ordinary people might not be able to tell, but those who know the goods can tell the truth from the fake at a glance."
Wang Yang was stunned, and his face turned red for a moment. He almost forgot about the fake brand name himself.
Of course, he also intentionally forgot, because he had to imagine the clothes were real, and then he would have enough confidence to play the identity of the Wang clan of Langya.
It's a bit shameful to say, is a Wang clan of Langya who can't even afford a decent set of clothes really a Wang clan of Langya?
Even if it can be explained, it will always arouse suspicion.
Doesn't Xie Xinghan suspect?
If she suspects, why did she come to find me with such great fanfare today?
Is it because she needs to use me for the debate with the Wang Guan School, so she is temporarily enduring it?
Or is there some other purpose?
Or is the fanfare itself the beginning of danger?
While Wang Yang was uncertain, the ox cart had already gone far away.
At this time, Chen Qingshan's hesitant voice sounded from behind him: "Your Yulin white unlined garment... is it really fake?"
