Chapter 751 - 750 Filial Piety
Steward Lu was also a shrewd person, so he promptly got up and followed along.
Shopkeeper Wu and Wang Yongzhu were left in the courtyard. Shopkeeper Wu looked around to see no one was there, then spoke in a low voice, "I shouldn’t be talking about these things today, but since the Ninth Young Master has been urging me, I just can’t care about that!"
Wang Yongzhu waved her hand, indifferent, "Is there something wrong? Could it be a problem with the fabrics?"
Shopkeeper Wu quickly shook his head, "There is not a single issue with the fabrics. They have all been bleached and dyed completely. We’re just waiting for the ship to arrive, then we’ll ship them out."
He hesitated before speaking sheepishly, "As for my Ninth Young Master, he said he would like to invite my grandniece to have a meal. He also wants to settle the account with you!"
Wang Yongzhu smiled apologetically, "I appreciate the Ninth Young Master’s kind gesture! But I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble Shopkeeper Wu to make a trip. If it’s convenient, please deliver the silver note to the town for me, and bring a message so I can pick it up. If that’s too much trouble, please ask the Ninth Young Master to hand the silver note to Brother Song, that would suffice."
"Why? Are you not going to the county city anymore?" Shopkeeper Wu asked in surprise.
Wang Yongzhu nodded, "Not for the time being! It’s spring now, and the trees and flowers are thriving. I’m thinking of taking advantage of this season to see if I can develop two more colors to offer to Consort De."
Shopkeeper Wu’s eyes lit up. This was indeed a matter of great importance and he immediately forgot about the repeated reminders from the Ninth Young Master before his return.
He eagerly asked Wang Yongzhu about her plans and if she needed any help.
Shopkeeper Wu knew well that if the fabric could appeal to Consort De and with some effort to secure an exclusive tribute status, it wouldn’t be long before the Auspicious Fabric soared to great heights.
