Chapter 254 We Are Handkerchief Friends
As soon as Mo Bei's carriage settled down at the post station, Jiang An came to visit.
Princess Mobei, whose chair was not even warm yet, propped her forehead with her hands and picked her ears in an ungraceful manner, fearing that she had heard it wrong.
"Who did you say is coming?"
Haru repeated, "Jiang An, the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace."
"There is also the Chongzhou governor Wen Shoushi."
The princess was puzzled and puzzled.
What are they here for?
If she remembered correctly, her relationship with Jiang An was not good enough to require a visit.
"Please let them in..."
Just as Haru turned to leave, the princess called him again.
Thinking of Jiang An's abnormally enthusiastic attitude at the city gate, she ordered Haru, "Tell your subordinates not to rest yet, but to be on standby at any time."
Haru said seriously, "Princess, that lady is..."
He didn't say anything else, but his hand subconsciously resting on the hilt of the knife betrayed his guess.
Princess Mobei waved her hands and said irritably, "I don't know either. Let's get ready first."
The scene of King Zheng killing her slaves at the post station is still vivid in her mind!
She pointed to a waiting slave. "Go get some snacks."
Now that we are here, and given Jiang An's status, we can't treat him lightly.
"Princess~"
Accompanied by Haru, the little girl entered the courtyard where the princess lived.
She had her hands behind her back, with delicate features, and surrounded by a crowd of people, she was as dazzling as the sun in the sky.
The little girl was wearing a pure white cloak, and the red skirt with gold embroidery under the cloak looked like a blooming flower when she walked.
Jiang An sat down on the main seat on the other side of Princess Mobei and greeted her with a smile.
Princess Mobei pushed a cup of tea to the little girl, raised her chin slightly, and motioned Haru to go out and wait.
"What is the purpose of this trip, Miss An An?"
Jiang An opened his round eyes and said sincerely, "I came to see you."
The princess looked at her with a strange look.
She turned to ask the governor Wen Shoushi, "What about the governor?"
Wen Shoushi smiled awkwardly, "I have nothing to do, so I am accompanying you... just accompanying you!"
He couldn't say that he was worried that the little ancestor would demolish his post station because he couldn't reach an agreement with him!
His money!
The princess pursed her red lips and closed her mouth speechlessly.
So, there is no normal one!
"You all go down!"
At her command, all the slaves who were serving her left the hall, and even thoughtfully closed the door.
In this way, the princess was the only one left in the hall facing Jiang An, Wen Shoushi, and the accompanying guards and maids.
Even when she was alone, Princess Mobei did not seem panicked at all.
She got straight to the point and said, "This princess has already stepped aside. Miss, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."
"We people on the grassland don't understand your twists and turns."
It is true that her country is a vassal state, but as a princess of another country, everything she says and does in that country ties the people of that country to herself.
Just like when she was at the city gate just now, she would never force herself to maintain her princess status when she should have been weak, as that would only make people laugh at her.
But if trouble comes, as the princess of Mobei, she will never swallow her anger!
Her back was thin but straight, like a bush of thorns, and would not fall down no matter how hard the wind blew.
The little girl tilted her head and smiled endearingly.
"Don't worry, An An really just came to visit you~"
Princess Mobei frowned...
Jiang An scratched his head and said, "By the way, I want to do business with you!"
As if she was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, the little girl emphasized, "It really happened by the way!"
After Jiang An said this, the princess finally felt relieved.
Her brows relaxed, a smile formed on her red lips, and she didn't care whether Jiang An was really just doing it for the sake of convenience.
"Miss, you want to do business with me? What kind of business?"
She looked at Jiang An, her eyes gleaming, "Are you doing horse business with this princess in the name of the Zhenguo Palace?"
Don't blame her for hitting the target with one strike. The most noteworthy thing about Mobei is the herds of horses!
What? King Zheng is finally going to rebel! Is he going to come to Mobei to buy war horses?
"Wow, how did you know I was coming to buy a horse from you?"
Princess Mobei clenched her fists and lost her composure completely.
For a moment, I felt a sense of excitement as if I had heard some incredible secret!
"But it's not in the name of the palace or my father, An An wants to buy it herself!"
The princess leaned back and looked at the little girl with a strange expression, "You want to buy a horse?"
Is your ambition so big?
"Does the King of Zhen know?"
Jiang An nodded, "Of course my father knows, and he's very supportive!"
The princess didn't believe it, "Really?"
"Um... I have something to say..."
Wen Shoushi, who had listened to the whole thing, interrupted them weakly, which was a completely irrelevant conversation.
The princess looked at him with a look that seemed to say, "Why, are you an accomplice?"
"Cough cough!"
This time he really coughed and choked on his own saliva.
Wen Shoushi: "Princess, you must have misunderstood. The horse buying that Miss An An mentioned is a transaction between the common people..."
"Miss Dayi wants to open up the flow of horses between Mobei and southern merchants in the north, and thereby make the people of the north richer."
If Jiang An's idea is to be implemented, it will definitely require a lot of manpower.
Selling or leasing horses requires manpower to transport them and to raise them. Even the beans, grain, and fodder that the horses eat can bring extra income to the people!
Jiang An nodded heavily, "Yes, that's what the governor said!"
"Oh…"
The eldest princess responded gloomily, and suddenly she was not so excited anymore.
The little girl leaned on the small table and looked at the princess with her big sparkling eyes, "Do you want to do business with An An?"
Glancing at her delicate and pretty little face out of the corner of her eye, Princess Mobei thought: The last few times I came to Chongzhou, I was always beaten by this little girl on various occasions, and now the time has come for her to beg me for help!
She refused to look at those round eyes and lowered her head, as if the cardamom in her hand could attract her attention more.
"Mobei's horses are also sold to southern merchants. Why should I sell them to you alone?"
Jiang An: "I also know a little about the sale of horses in Mobei. They are all sold by the tribes under the King of Mobei. They also receive all the money themselves. It has nothing to do with the King of Mobei."
"Don't you want your tribe to earn more?"
Princess Mobei looked surprised that she actually put some thought into this.
I thought Jiang An was just acting on a whim and was just playing house.
After Jiang An's persuasion, Princess Mobei felt that what she said made a lot of sense!
If other tribes become strong and refuse to submit to his father, there will definitely be turmoil in Mobei!
This is a potential threat to my father...
If she could take control of the horse business in her own hands, even if the tribe did not have enough horses, she could buy horses from other tribes at a lower price and then resell them!
Seeing that the princess was about to be moved by what he said, Jiang An smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later..."
"We have a good relationship!"
"You might as well sell it to me instead of selling it to others!"
Princess Mobei opened her eyes wide, "Who is on good terms with you?"
Jiang An replied sincerely: "You~"
She patted her chest, used the words the old fox had taught her, and said, "We are handkerchief friends!"
