The Story of a Plane Merchant Selling a House

Chapter 13: Uncontrolled Chess Pieces

Moreover, Qiwu insisted last time that there were no more glass items. Even if she found that the glass was missing and had some guesses about who took it, she would not dare to say anything.

This was the first time the Crown Prince felt so happy since Prince Fu had snatched the glass coffee table.

After dinner, she returned to the yard. After sending everyone away, Qiwu connected with Tutu.

Tutu asked her if she would be discovered for taking away so many things, since so many eyes were watching her.

Qi Wu played with the seal of the twelve zodiac animals. "No, they took away small and expensive items. First, they wanted to prevent the people sent here from stealing. Second, even if they found out that they took it away, they would think it was used to pay for the glass, so it would not be noticeable in the entire warehouse and would not be carefully checked."

"They won't be too blatant when they come to steal and take away large items. After all, the Marquis's Mansion is a leaky sieve. They don't dare to risk being discovered by outsiders."

"The main purpose is to put the colored glass in the spotlight of the Marquis' Mansion and reduce the estimated amount of silver I have in my bank account. When the Marquis' Mansion takes out the colored glass to cash in, I can also release another batch of colored glass and make some money."

Tutu felt that he was like a brainless person compared to others. "Should I prepare more glass products?"

"No need for now, he just took away a few glass cups, there are still a lot, you can buy them when you need them." Qiwu has made plans for the remaining colored glass. These are enough for her to deal with the tribe next time.

The clan was too far away from the capital, and the people sent to beat her only arrived in the capital half a month after she sold the glass coffee table.

She sent someone to meet her at the teahouse that was part of her dowry. The person who came turned out to be the clan leader.

He actually came all the way here to personally reprimand her. Qiwu felt that she underestimated the importance the clan placed on Liuli.

The clan leader had no intention of greeting her, and immediately asked her when and where she had obtained the batch of colored glaze. "Twelve Lady, don't use the excuses you used to fool the Marquis' Mansion. I have already interrogated the people who escorted the bride, and I didn't meet any foreign noble ladies on the way to the capital."

"I definitely didn't get it on the road," Qi Wu lowered his head and played with the teacup, "Then our clan leader, guess where I got it."

The clan leader slammed the table and said, "Don't think you are strong enough. The status you rely on is just given to you by me. Whatever I can give you, I can also take back."

Qi Wu did not respond and said to himself, "Then guess again, is it the identity you gave me that I rely on?"

The clan leader was a little hesitant. "You got it in the capital, right? Who is it? How much do you have? Or is this just a planned show?"

Qi Wu smiled and looked at the clan leader, "Is this a play? You must be qualified to participate before you can watch it. It seems that you don't have the qualifications now."

The clan leader stared at Qiwu's expression with his eyes wandering. The atmosphere was tense for a while. Qiwu played with the teacup unmoved, not at all impressed by his aura as before.

The clan leader's attitude changed quietly. "My dear niece, the land and water of the capital are good for people. You already look like a clan lady."

Qi Wu smiled when he heard this, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea nonchalantly, "The tea served in this shop is all different. It turns out that my uncle has a lot of face."

The clan leader also picked up the teacup and said, "My dear niece likes to drink tea, so I will give you a teahouse. It's not easy to live in the capital, and the dowry shop is a little meager. I will also give you the silk and satin shop in the west of the city."

He took out a large stack of banknotes and two property deeds and placed them next to Qiwu.

Qi Wu smiled and didn't respond. The clan leader was testing her, and she couldn't take his words seriously.

The patriarch paced back and forth anxiously, counting the silver bills one by one slowly and methodically.

The clan leader suspected that she and Prince Fu were plotting something.

He guessed that it was originally Prince Fu's glass coffee table, and she was asked to use it to expand her influence and increase the price.

Otherwise it would be hard to understand why the news about colored glass became so popular in such a short time. Maybe the colorless colored glass was produced by Prince Fu’s workshop.

Afterwards, Liuli was publicized, which also damaged the reputation of the Marquisate and affected the eighth prince, her in-law.

The family now needs a stepping stone to re-enter the circle of power and nobility. The Marquis' Mansion is not very cooperative. Even if Prince Fu is not the banner, with the path of Qiwu Liuli, they must grasp this precious stepping stone.

Qiwu counted the silver bills and shook his head. After a moment of surprise, the clan leader took out more large-denomination silver bills. When the clan leader came to the capital, he had many affairs to deal with, and of course he also brought a huge amount of silver bills.

Qiwu was satisfied, and took out a box from under the table and opened it. There were four pieces of glass in the box: two gradient-colored seven-color lotus glass, a small-mouthed, big-bellied gradient colored glass vase, and a colorless glass cup.

The patriarch first carefully picked up the colorless glass cup, "completely colorless, clear, and priceless," then picked up the lotus, "gradient color, full of Zen," and finally picked up the colorful glass vase, "the color actually changed with the painting, wonderful, wonderful."

Qiwu is appreciating the wonders of modern technology, while Muguo is being conquered by modern delicacies.

The Full Moon Festival is approaching in Muguo. Thanks to Tutu's help, they don't have to spend too much energy adapting to the environment and they settle down quickly.

They made a lot of preparations for the Full Moon Festival.

The Full Moon Festival is also a blind date event and a place to showcase the appeal of the tribe. A strong and prosperous tribe can attract more people.

The tribesmen prepared a lot of animal skins, dried meat, and handicrafts. There were no dried fruits this time, and all the fruits were given to Muguo, but Muguo also gave everyone things in exchange for the fruits.

Muguo used huge dried leaves to wrap the mooncakes. She had kept them until now because she heard from Tutu that they could be stored for more than 90 days.

It takes about eight or nine days to travel from the tribe to the venue of the Full Moon Festival. In order to ensure the taste, she did not start to unpack and wrap each mooncake with leaves until there was one day left.

There was no way. Tutu had reminded her that the plastic paper used to wrap the mooncakes would not rot for hundreds of years, and it was too advanced and would easily cause unnecessary trouble. She could only unwrap them one by one, rewrap them and burn the wrapping paper.

Tutu watched Muguo skillfully tie the mooncakes neatly with ropes. "Do you want to prepare something else? This Full Moon Festival is an opportunity to expand the tribe."

Mu Guo sorted out his thoughts and said, "Yes, we need some. I have discussed with the tribe leader that brown sugar and salt, as well as these mooncakes, will fetch a good price. We only need to prepare a few small jars. We can trade the seasonings that attracted the beast last time when we get back."

She hesitated a little when she said the last part. "Can you give me a few more of that beautiful colorful skirt?"

Tutu shows Muguo her wardrobe, trying to understand her aesthetic.

As a result, the other party saw Wan Su's long floral pajamas with a little flower in them. Tutu thought she didn't see her own collection of Hanfu and gorgeous palace dress, so she shook the gorgeous hem of her dress and signaled Muguo to look here.

Muguo showed her politeness. "Yes, this dress is also very beautiful. It suits you very well."

Her dry compliments didn't seem sincere at all, but when she was praising the nightgown, she used a lot of adjectives.
