Chapter 1,320 Someone Is Coming From the Palace
After leaving the workshop and getting on the carriage, Ren Huai and Manager Xu both looked exhausted.
Although the weather was not hot, there was sweat on both of their foreheads.
Manager Xu whispered, "Master Biao, the price seems unbearable."
Ren Huai gritted his teeth, "I really misjudged the wrong person. How could this Lu Xiangjun be so simple and easy to deceive? Look at what she said, every time she stepped on our plan accurately."
Manager Xu asked, "What should we do now? Are we still doing this business?"
"Do it!" Ren Huai said through gritted teeth, "But we still have to give her a break. I don't think she wants to lose our cooperation. If we don't move, she will always be the one who is anxious."
Ren Huai told him, "We will go around Jiangyuan County in the past few days and tell him. If someone from Lu Xiangjun comes to visit, tell him that we are still waiting for a reply from the capital, and the head of the family is still considering it. But if If they come to us once, the initiative is still in our hands."
"yes."
Ren Huai thought well, but Shu Yu's people actually came to his door the next day.
Just when Ren Huai breathed a sigh of relief, the other party said, "Mr. Ren, I am Ying Dong, the steward of the Lu family. The township gentleman has ordered that Mr. Ren is new to Jiangyuan County and is not familiar with it. As the host, he naturally wants to take care of all the landowners. Therefore, I told you to find someone to act as a guide for Mr. Ren. Where he wants to go and what he wants to know, just ask him."
Ren Huai's expression was distorted for a moment, and Manager Xu whispered in his ear, "Master Ciao, maybe Mr. Lu Xiang wants to use this method to watch us, fearing that if we just leave, the business will be ruined."
Although Ren Huai felt that this possibility was unlikely, Manager Xu's words gave him some comfort.
He thanked Ying Dong, who left him behind and went back.
Shu Yu found someone to entertain Ren Huai. He thought that he was very considerate and would bother him from time to time when he was not good. Anyway, he would come to her after he thought about it.
So she continued busy with her own affairs, completely ignoring Ren and Huai.
The people in the Capital Palace arrived in Jiangyuan County at this time.
The purchasers in the palace came together with the officials who announced the decree.
Therefore, compared to the low-key Ren Huai, who only had two carriages, their team's formation was much larger.
There were three carriages and about a dozen guards. When they arrived at the gate of the city, Xiang Weinan had already led people to greet them outside the city.
They followed the group into the city and headed toward the county government office along the largest street in the city.
People on both sides of the road were watching the excitement. Seeing the high-ranking officials who could be personally greeted by the county magistrate, they all speculated on what happened.
Probably only a few people knew that Xiang Weinan was about to be promoted.
Among them are Mr. Ding of the Ding family, Mr. Fan Sanshao, Jiang Yi from Jixiang Liquor Shop, Ji Dongjia from Taolin and other merchants who usually pay more attention to current affairs.
After all, it concerns who the county magistrate is, and it has a great impact on them.
Of course, this also includes Ren Huai and Manager Xu from the capital.
So at this time, the two of them stood in the crowd and watched the excitement.
"After the Emperor ascended the throne, Sir Xiang seems to be the first official transferred from the county seat to the capital, right?"
Ren Huai nodded, "Interestingly, this Master Xiang is the son-in-law of the Xiao family."
Manager Xu was surprised, "Master Biao means that the emperor deliberately wants to turn the Xiang family against the Xiao family?"
"Who knows?" Ren Huai shrugged, but his eyes suddenly froze.
