In order to demonstrate his ability, Tao Ran finalized the matter with Feng Luan on the same day, and then went to Yunfu Ji early the next morning.

Ling Chuan spent most of the night yesterday drafting the plan. When he was about to go out, Tao Ran blocked him at the door.

"Why did Miss Tao Ran get up so early?"

Tao Ran glared at Ling Chuan without any hesitation: "It's all because of you."

Just with this one sentence, Ling Chuan almost broke down. This is Deputy Secretary Yun, please don't mess with me.

Tao Ran saw the strange looks everyone in the shop was giving her, as well as Ling Chuan's flickering eyes, and then added, "It was because of the glazed window you, Mr. Ling, mentioned that Lord Fengluan forced me to come and invite Mr. Ling early in the morning to discuss the details with him."

Ling Chuan heaved a sigh of relief and gave Tao Ran a look that said, "Since it is Master Fengluan who invites you, please let Miss Tao Ran lead the way."

Just as he was about to leave, Cao Huanchun beside him suddenly said, "Mr. Ling, how about I go with you?"

How could Ling Chuan not understand what he meant? He replied, "You should just go and do your thing. Are you worried about Tie Kai and Cui Min following me?"

Cao Huanchun gave Ling Chuan another meaningful look: "Then Mr. Ling, you should go as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible."

Ling Chuan waved at him, turned around and got on the donkey cart, driving parallel to Tao Ran's carriage.

Normally, Lingchuan didn't think there was anything wrong with riding in this donkey cart, but when compared with the tall horse next to it, Lingchuan felt something was wrong. The height difference between the donkey and the horse was more than one foot, so the height of the carriage was also more than one foot different.

Originally, he wanted to talk to Tao Ran across the carriage, but when he saw the height difference, Ling Chuan almost became autistic.

So he asked Cui Min, the driver, "How much silver does such a carriage cost?"

Cui Min replied without even turning his head: "This carriage probably costs three or four thousand taels of silver."

"hiss……"

Ling Chuan took a deep breath. With that amount of money, he could buy a large courtyard house with three entrances in the south of the city. There was nothing wrong with doing that with the money.

Besides, even though he was riding in a donkey cart, the people he usually interacted with were still the wealthy and powerful families in the capital, so it was better to keep a low profile.

What's more, this donkey made great contributions when Ling Chuan was assassinated a few days ago. When Ling Chuan was avoiding the assassin, this donkey not only helped him block the knife, but also kicked the assassin.

Fortunately, the wound was not deep and has healed, but there is still an obvious scar on the buttocks.

Regarding this life-saving donkey, Ling Chuan thought that instead of changing for a horse-drawn carriage, it would be better to buy another donkey to pull goods.

"Cui Min, ask Lao Cao to buy a donkey later. This donkey will be my exclusive vehicle from now on."

Cui Min asked curiously, "Master Ling, don't you plan to change the carriage?"

"No, this donkey saved my life."

Tiekai, who was standing by, chuckled when he heard what happened. After he explained what happened at that time, the three of them burst into laughter immediately, and even the donkey laughed twice.

The Jiaofangsi was not far away and they arrived there quickly. The donkey cart followed Tao Ran's horse-drawn carriage straight to the largest courtyard of the Jiaofangsi.

Feng Luan is an old man in his fifties, very thin and looks like an old scholar.

After Tao Ran introduced them, both sides exchanged some pleasantries and took their seats.

"Mr. Ling is a handsome man, and generous. I would like to thank you in advance."

"Master Fengluan, you are too polite. You are a big customer of our Yunfuji. This is my way of giving back to you."

Feng Luan said politely again, and then said, "I have an unwelcome request, and I hope Master Ling will fulfill it."

Ling Chuan thought, I'm giving it to you for free and you still have requests?

"Your Excellency Fengluan, please feel free to speak."

"Even though Master Ling paid for the replacement of this glazed window, could you please provide a bill?"

Ling Chuan was slightly stunned, then he realized that this old man was trying to report false accounts. The entire Jiaofangsi is such a large area, if calculated at the regular price, it would be a considerable amount of money.

So he showed a playful smile on his face, first looked at Feng Luan, then glanced at Tao Ran next to him, and finally took a sip of the teacup before saying: "Master Feng Luan, the shop sells such a large amount of goods, so there must be an account. When the time comes, I will copy a copy for Master Feng Luan. It is not an unreasonable request at all."

Feng Luan was overjoyed and held up the teacup with both hands: "Thank you very much, Master Ling. I will use tea instead of wine to toast Master Ling."

After this incident, the relationship between the two sides instantly became much closer. After drinking a pot of tea, the way they addressed each other changed. One called him "brother" and the other called him "brother".

"Brother, when you come to the Jiaofangsi from now on, just say hello to me and I will make sure to arrange everything for you."

Ling Chuan laughed dryly and responded: "Since you said so, I won't be polite to you, brother."

"Also, if you open a shop in the future, just let me know how many people you need to sing. I will arrange it for you."

"Then I'd like to thank you, brother."

"Brother, please take a seat first. I have something else to do, so I will not accompany you any longer. Tao Ran, please take good care of Master Ling and do not neglect this distinguished guest."

Watching Feng Luan get up and leave, Ling Chuan thought that this old man looked like an old scholar, but in fact, he had at least eight hundred tricks in his body.

But in a place like the Jiaofangsi, you can't stay there without some cunning.

After Feng Luan left, Tao Ran brewed another pot of tea and looked at Ling Chuan with charming eyes: "Mr. Ling, why don't you come to my little courtyard and sit for a while?"

Ling Chuan thought that this demon was just after my body, so he waved his hand and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't go today. I'll visit you another day."

Tao Ran covered his mouth and chuckled: "I didn't expect Master Ling to be so henpecked at such a young age. His wife hasn't even married yet, but he's already sent people to keep a close eye on him..."

Ling Chuan curled his lips, provoking her was useless: "Miss Tao Ran, there are three thousand rivers, and I only drink from one."

Tao Ran was stunned and could no longer say anything. He could only silently pour a cup of tea and drink it all. Then he said, "Tao Ran understands. Master Ling's wife is really lucky. To be loved and admired by a man like Master Ling, she is really the envy of others."

"Miss Tao Ran is so outstanding that she will surely be sought after by many young talents. There is no need to worry about not finding a suitable husband."

Tao Ran smiled bitterly: "I don't like the one who likes me, and the one I like doesn't like me. I can only blame it all on fate."

Ling Chuan didn't know how to persuade her after hearing this series of hints, so he simply changed his angle: "Miss Tao Ran, you are a bit self-deprecating. In my opinion, Miss Tao Ran is not only talented and beautiful, but also very smart. Just based on yourself, Miss Tao Ran, you can live a more exciting life than most people."

This was the first time Tao Ran had heard someone affirm him like this since his family fell into poverty three years ago. His eyes lit up: "Thank you, Master Ling. Master Ling is really good at comforting people."

Ling Chuan added: "Although it is just consolation, it is also from the bottom of my heart. With Miss Tao Ran's intelligence, it is not impossible for her to repeat the glory of the Tao Mansion in the past."

When Tao Ran heard this, the cup in his hand fell onto the table with a clang. "Mr. Ling, this is really sarcastic. How can Tao Ran be so ignorant? With my status, I will be satisfied if I can find a husband of my dreams in this life."
