After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 54: I Am Picking Your Wool

Bai Xu looked at Shi Qingluo.

"What if I say that I can't get you the horses?"

Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows. "Then I'll get it from somewhere else. After we finish our current business, I'll find others to do them too."

If he couldn't even agree in mutually beneficial situations, there wasn't a need for her to cooperate with the Bai family.

Bai Xu was speechless. This woman had crushed him again.

He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that this woman wasn't simple.

Aside from having some knowledge about publishing, she might also come up with something else in the future.

Hence, the helpless look on his face became even more apparent. "Alright, I'll try to help you.

"But it can't be more than 5 horses. The imperial court is very strict with the management of horses."

He added, "I was able to get a few horses because my youngest uncle is in the livestock business."

Shi Qingluo's eyes lit up. "Then is your uncle in the cattle, sheep, and pig business too?"

Bai Xu didn't know why Shi Qingluo had such a big reaction when it came to the livestock business.

"We do! My youngest uncle mainly interacts with the grassland herdsmen. The horses, sheep, and cows are all transported back to Daliang for resale.

"Of course, because we often have to go deeper into the grassland for the livestock, this business is very dangerous. It's equivalent to risking our lives."

This wasn't a secret.

His mother's family was a big merchant from the neighboring prefectural city.

Back then, his mother married his father purely because she had taken a fancy to him. Definitely a hypogamy.

Because of this, his family did not have a messy harem of wives and mistresses fighting each other.

He only had a brother and sister from the legitimate line of descent, and no half brothers and sisters.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Apart from the five horses, I also want to buy a batch of cows, sheep, and pigs from your uncle."

Bai Xu raised her eyebrows. "My uncle is in a big business and sells at least 100 cows, sheep, and pigs in each transaction."

Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows as well. "So what, you think I can't afford it?"

Bai Xu nodded. "Don't tell me you can afford it?"

Previously, not sure who was the one who was eyeing for the flower treatment's deposit.

It was only a small amount of silver, and how much would a hundred cows, sheep, and pigs cost?

Shi Qingluo said confidently, "I can't take it out now, but I'll be able to in a couple of hours."

Bai Xu burst into laughter. "Don't tell me you know how to perform magic tricks."

Shi Qingluo looked at Bai Xu with a silly look in her eyes. "I don't know how to perform magic tricks, but after you see how I turn yellow sugar into white sugar, won't the money come?"

She added meaningfully, "And you're the one who delivered it to my doorstep."

She was just short of saying that she was the one who had "plucked his wool".

Bai Xu took a deep breath.

He had almost forgotten it.

This woman had really taken everything into account.
