Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

"Taoist, are you all so rich?" Ye Guo suddenly stopped eating and asked very seriously.

Ye Lao Er turned around and looked at Ye Wan, puzzled, "Taoist priest, where did this Taoist priest come from?"

Ye Wan was an honest person, so she recalled and answered, "Just now at the door, my aunt almost bumped into me."

"That Taoist priest is very rich?"

"No, I see the clothes are tattered."

Boss Sun also asked with a smile, "Xiao Guo, why do you think he is rich?"

Ye Guo could tell them directly that the Taoist priest lived in an independent courtyard.

But she didn't want to say it, so she lowered her head and didn't respond, just worked hard to eat. She didn't show any abnormality until she set out the next day.

The Sun family's caravan consisted of several wooden carriages, each of which was pulled by a strong horse. The horse's hooves stepped on the loess road, making a dull and powerful sound.

The body of the vehicle is sturdy and durable, capable of carrying heavy objects, and the canopy is covered with tarpaulin to protect it from wind and rain.

The convoy was led by an experienced driver who held a whip and directed the entire team's progress.

Today, Boss Sun's carriage was in the rear, and Ye Guo's carriage was the second to last. This was the fastest speed, so even if they fell behind, they could catch up if they hurried a little.

Unlike in the past when they sold goods along the way in exchange for local specialties, this time their convoy had a clear goal and focused more on speed.

"Second brother, is there something else that Boss Sun is hiding from us?" Ye Guo's butt didn't get used to the bumpy ride the next day. Instead, it hurt even more.

Ye Lao Er looked up in surprise, "Why don't you call me Uncle Sun?"

Sometimes, this kind of straightforwardness can really be annoying. Ye Guo curled his lips, "Uncle Sun is a businessman, there's nothing wrong with me calling him that."

"There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that this matter, after all, is actually related to you, and you didn't realize it until now."

"What does it have to do with me? I just sold him some soap."

Ye Laoer felt like he had a breath stuck in his throat when he saw his little sister's sometimes cautious and sometimes careless behavior. He couldn't swallow it or spit it out.

"Little sister, do you know the Royal Merchant?"

"The kind of merchant that directly supplies goods to the royal family? You mean, Boss Sun wants to compete for the royal merchant position and take our soap?" This really went beyond Ye Guo's understanding.

The royal merchants in TV dramas are all extremely wealthy, with embroidery, ceramics, pearls... She had never thought that soap could also be included in the competition.

Ye Lao Er nodded, "Although I'm not sure, but as far as I know, the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce will have a preliminary election for the Royal Merchants in mid-August."

"It's likely that he has two plans. He will first participate in the selection, and if he fails, he will ship the goods to the Imperial City and sell them. In any case, he won't lose money."

Ye Guo looked through the opened curtain at the layers of field scenery outside, which kept passing by. He suddenly squinted his eyes. Was the Taoist priest looking at the rice in the field?

When she stretched her head to see clearly, Ye Laoer pulled her back.

"The soap was originally going to be sold in the Imperial City. Boss Sun didn't hide it from you from the beginning." Ye Lao Er thought she was unhappy and reminded her.

In just a moment, the human figure disappeared, and Ye Guo naturally didn't shout to stop the car.

The escorts, holding knives, guns, sticks and clubs, running back and forth with the convoy, are not doing it to show off.

"I didn't say anything. If the Sun family wants to go, then let them go. If they get the royal merchant, there's a high probability that we won't be able to keep our prescription." Ye Guo said with a smile.

"It's not easy to become a royal merchant. Even if he succeeds, the cooperation will most likely continue. At least, there shouldn't be any big problems before the head of the Sun family is replaced." Ye Lao Er said without raising his head.

Ye Guo snorted and didn't say anything else. No wonder he sat so steadily, it turned out he had thought of everything.

They checked into an old post house that night. When they arrived, they heard that the entire upper floor of the post house had been booked in advance.

Ye Guo suddenly had a feeling that the person who booked the entire floor should be none other than the Taoist priest.

But until she fell asleep, she didn't see the mysterious man who booked the entire floor.

On the contrary, it was because they didn't live in a room and had to pay extra to take a hot shower, which made Ye Wan, an honest person, quite dissatisfied.

"If it's fast, the convoy will be able to reach Lingnan by this evening." Before setting off the next morning, Boss Sun stood beside Ye Guo's carriage for a while.

"So Uncle Sun, how long will it take to get to the dock?"

"It will take most of the day, so I want to ask, do you plan to stay in Lingnan, or go to the dock with me? If you go to the dock, you will have to travel for another day."

"But we will stay in Lingnan for one more day to rest, so you don't have to rush to make a decision."

Sun Qianyan said with a smile, "I have a small house in Lingnan, which I usually use as a temporary residence. I have hired someone to clean it regularly. If you don't mind, you can live here temporarily."

Ye Lao Er was about to refuse when he heard Ye Guo say straightforwardly, "Then we won't go to the dock. We'll stay at your house, Uncle Sun, and experience the local customs and practices of Lingnan."

"By the way, Uncle Sun, do you have any land here?" Ye Guo asked casually.

Sun Qian suddenly became serious, "Why did Xiaoguo suddenly ask this? Are you planning to buy a property here?"

The money he gave her for the soap alone was a considerable sum.

Ye Guo smiled and shook his head. "Before, my second brother and I were injured, so we borrowed a lot of foreign debts. After paying it back, we sent Ali to the county school, and asked you to find a school for Ah Cheng. The expenses were not small. With two scholars in the family, we always have to prepare money for the exam in advance."

"I never dared to think about buying a property. I just thought that the city would have its own scenery, and the fields are our roots. I wanted to see if there were any new seeds here that I could take back and plant."

After Ye Guo said this, Sun Qian had no doubts. He smiled and said that he understood. "I don't have any land, but I can help you find a local person to be your guide. You can tell him what you think when the time comes."

"Entry and exit in Lingnan are strictly controlled. You must carry your household registration with you, and it is best to bring a local with you when you go out."

"I have servants in my house, and your carriage is not small. For safety reasons, you should bring at least one person with you."

Sun Qian's arrangement was really perfect. Ye Guo didn't bother to be polite with him, "Thank you in advance, Uncle Sun."

"By the way, Uncle Sun, where in Lingnan Prefecture can I buy jewelry and clothes at a good price? It's a rare trip here, so I have to buy something special."

Only at this time did Ye Guo show a little bit of girlish demeanor.

The most important thing for a daughter is of course the dowry. When the daughter of a noble family in Daqing gets married, she will bring a huge amount of red makeup, which includes everything from birth to death.

Sun Qian also has a daughter, so he nodded in understanding, "I'll ask Shopkeeper Li to go with you. With someone familiar here, I can guarantee you'll get a good deal."

Ye Guo, who is not yet wealthy, naturally needs to take advantage of others, and would like to express his gratitude again.

Just as the two men finished their chat and the convoy set off, Ye Guo saw that Taoist priest with divine face again.
