Chapter 229 Tattoo Pattern, Silver Moon Tower!
Yuan Xiu returned before noon. He had gained a lot from this trip to the city. With the help of Cheng Yusheng, he sold all the glass products he brought at high prices. He also got in touch with a large caravan from the city that traveled outside the Great Wall all year round. They were very interested in glass products and booked a hundred items in one go, totaling one hundred taels of silver.
"One thousand taels of silver each, that's fine!"
After listening to his report, Shen Xiangwan gave a thumbs up without hesitation. Those glasses were made of sand, and except for the labor cost, the rest was all profit. Moreover, if the caravan sold well this time, they would definitely place additional orders, so it could be considered a stable business.
"Madam, you are too kind. One thousand taels per piece is already a bargain."
At this point, Yuan Xiu couldn't help but sigh: "Among the glassware I brought out this time, one set of tea sets sold for 20,000 taels of silver, and the cheapest cup sold for 3,000 taels."
Colored glass products really make huge profits. If he hadn't had limited manpower, he would rather go through the trouble of forming his own caravan than let others make the money.
"Really?"
Raising an eyebrow, Shen Xiangwan curled the corners of his lips slightly. Chenzhou was definitely one of the poorest states in the entire Tianqi Kingdom, but there were still people here who could spend huge sums of money just to buy a useless glass product. On the other hand, those common people worked hard all year round and were lucky to have enough food and clothing. They probably wouldn't even be able to see those things in their lifetime, let alone buy them.
"By the way, the workshop has already produced enough glazed tiles and glazed windows. You can arrange for people to replace them in the school and at home."
"it is good."
Yuan Xiu nodded and agreed, then asked with a bit of seriousness: "Madam, I heard that Hehuan Tower dared to offend you, do you want to send someone to teach them a lesson?"
During lunch, Yuan Shu told him about this matter. He had already discussed it with Uncle Yan, and they both agreed that they must teach the other party a lesson.
"Not for now, I have other plans."
Waving his hand, Shen Xiangwan thought for a moment, and like a magic trick, he took out a photo from his sleeve pocket and handed it to him: "Take a look and see if you recognize the pattern on it."
"What pattern?"
After taking the photo, Yuan Xiu couldn't help but frown before he could even be shocked by its clarity. "Madam, where did you see this pattern?"
Obviously, he had recognized the origin of the pattern.
"The owner of the tattoo is the one who sent people to kill me. He is Shen Xiangyue's mistress."
Shen Xiangwan did not hide anything, and stared at him with slightly narrowed eyes. The other party's background seemed to be complicated?
"what?!"
Hearing this, Yuan Xiu frowned even more tightly. How could Shen Xiangyue be involved with those people? No wonder they couldn't find the real murderer behind the scenes. It turns out... I have to tell the Second Master as soon as possible. It's not a good thing for the underworld organizations to get involved.
"What does this pattern represent?"
Seeing the expression on his face constantly changing, Shen Xiangwan asked again in a deep voice.
"what?"
Yuan Xiu, who was thinking, was stunned reflexively, and then hurriedly said: "Sorry, madam, I was just thinking about something. This pattern is the logo of Yinyue Tower, and Yinyue Tower is a well-known assassination organization in the world. As long as you can afford it, they dare to kill anyone, whether it is royal nobles from various countries or famous masters of martial arts. It is rumored that they have never failed. No one knows the details, but Yinyue Tower should not allow their people to have personal feelings. Madam, are you sure this person is really Shen Xiangyue's lover, and not someone she paid to kill you?"
People in the martial arts world rarely get involved in the affairs of the court or the people, especially mysterious organizations like the Silver Moon Tower. Shen Xiangyue is just a courtesan in a border city. How could she hook up with someone from the Silver Moon Tower? Even if she was hired, she probably wouldn't have the connections. "Sure."
Thinking about the two people's entanglement last night, Shen Xiangwan gave a positive answer: "People are not plants, who can be heartless? In a big forest, there will always be one or two outliers. I don't think it's strange. However, Yuan Xiu, if this person falls into my hands and we touch him, will Yinyue Tower come out to help him?"
She hadn't expected that another Silver Moon Tower would suddenly appear. However, she would not let go easily of anyone who provoked her. If the Silver Moon Tower dared to meddle in her affairs, she wouldn't mind having a fight with them.
"If they knew, they would."
As soon as he finished speaking, as if he had thought of something, Yuan Xiu hurriedly asked, "Madam, could he have fallen into your hands?"
Otherwise, where did she get the pattern? How could she be sure that he was Shen Xiangyue's mistress? He didn't dare to doubt her ability. It was not like she couldn't do such a thing.
"That's not true."
However, he should be in her hands soon.
Shen Xiangwan quietly added in her heart that if nothing unexpected happened, the man should have been lying in ambush outside, and as long as she went out, he would stab her.
"I need to report this matter to the Second Master. Madam, please do not go out again in the next few days unless it is necessary."
He was not afraid of anything except his wife's behavior. There was nothing he could do as the last incident had already made him lose his temper.
"Yeah, I'll try my best."
Waving his hands, Shen Xiangwan agreed halfheartedly. Yuan Xiu was helpless, and before leaving he couldn't help but wink at Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying, implying that they must follow the good lady recently. If anything happened to her, the Second Master would skin them alive.
Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying looked at each other and couldn't help but look at the lady leaning on the back of the chair. They both sighed. If the lady really wanted to go out, they couldn't watch her. The last time was the best example. They just hoped that she wouldn't bother them again this time.
"lady."
Not long after, Zhou Changqing came in holding a few books. Shen Xiangwan nodded and motioned him to sit down. She glanced at the books knowingly and asked knowingly, "I heard you were looking for me? What's the matter?"
"Look at this."
Zhou Changqing didn't bother to talk too much. He pushed all the books in front of her and said slowly as she flipped through them, "I tried many times and finally succeeded. These books are printed using the engraved templates. The text is clear and the font size is appropriate. See if there is anything that needs to be improved. If not, I will set up a workshop and start mass printing."
Ever since she gave him the movable type printing technology, he has been constantly studying it with the engraving master and tried many versions, but only this one best meets his requirements.
"Yes, much better than the manuscript. How much does it cost?"
After looking through it carefully, Shen Xiangwan asked casually, it was done in such a short time, it can be seen that he really put his heart into it.
