Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1316 - 1323 I Don’t Want a Divorce (3)

After a short day’s rest and a delightful bath, her stomach inopportunely began humming the "Empty City Stratagem." In fact, the musty-smelling ingredients in her space could easily satisfy her appetite, but she was feeling lazy and did not want to cook for herself, thus she thought of going to the Zuixian Residence for a meal and to see what the place where she earned her first bucket of gold in this world looked like now!

Upon arriving at the Zuixian Residence, she found that it was just the same as when she first saw it, with no major changes. If there had to be one difference, it was her own perspective; when she first visited the Zuixian Residence, she thought everything about it was wonderful, opulent, and magnificent. However, after experiencing the truly luxurious and splendid major restaurants of the Capital, she realized that it was only a slightly better tavern.

"Yo, distinguished guest, you’ve come, please come inside—"

The shop assistant saw Cai Wei enter and hurriedly greeted her warmly, leading her upstairs.

Cai Wei was about to enter a private room the shop assistant pointed out when she suddenly heard a surprised shout from across the room, "Miss Mu!"

She looked up at the sound and saw Fourth Master An Qilu from the An Mansion.

An Qilu was in his thirties this year, a man of a calm and competent demeanor, and a very successful merchant.

Seeing Cai Wei, he was indeed astonished because he had heard from Cao Jin that the Cai Wei of the Mu Family had transformed into a phoenix from a sparrow and become the Empress Dowager of the Great Jin Nation. However, if she was the Empress Dowager, how could she possibly be here? freeweɓnøvel~com

Perhaps, the news from Brother Cao Jin was mostly incorrect!

Upon seeing Fourth Master An, Cai Wei laughed and said, "Is Fourth Master also hurrying to return for the celebration wine? It really is a fortunate encounter!"

An Qilu responded politely, "Miss is too modest. It is my duty to return for my niece’s grand wedding. I only wonder why Miss is here, as I happened to hear that Miss had moved with her family to the Capital, which is not a short distance from Qingyun Town."

Cai Wei said, "I am also here for the celebration wine and incidentally to do some business. Oh, by the way, is your business still mainly up north, Fourth Master?"

An Qilu said, "I have a few shops in the Capital and Lin’an Prefecture as well, but my main business is indeed still in the northern regions."

At that moment, Cai Wei remembered something—her glass products in the Capital had almost sold out, and it was time to market them throughout the country. Since An Qilu’s business was thriving in the north, why not have him act as the northern regional distributor for her glass sales?

Thinking this, Cai Wei invited An Qilu into her private room, and once seated, she shared her idea with him.

After listening to Cai Wei’s proposal, An Qilu exclaimed in amazement, "It’s said that the glass which has become all the rage in the Capital was invented, manufactured, and sold on a large scale by Our Great Jin Dynasty’s Empress Dowager. How could Miss have the glass? Could you really be our Great Jin Nation’s..."

The words "Empress Dowager" were too prestigious; he dared not speak them aloud but instead looked at Cai Wei with a questioning gaze.

Cai Wei subtly nodded her head, seeing An Qilu stand up in awe and fear, seemingly ready to pay his respects. Cai Wei quickly said, "Here, we are only two merchants discussing business; there is no Empress Dowager or common folk. Please, Fourth Master, have a seat."

An Qilu anxiously sat down, and though he maintained a jovial demeanor, his face unknowingly took on a shade of reverence.

"As Fourth Master knows, the glass in the Capital sells for ten taels of silver per piece. I plan to unify the price across the country. I intend to offer the glass to Fourth Master at seven taels of silver per piece, allowing him a margin of three taels of silver. Please, Fourth Master, consider acting as the buyer. If you are unable to sell them all, they can be returned. What do you think, Fourth Master?"
