Chapter-138: a fleet of 66 carriages
Wendy Lark held the information in her hand and said. "I looked at the statistics. A total of 61 carriages are needed, and your Foster family occupies 37 of them. Do you plan to pay part of it in advance or take out a loan for the whole thing?"
The head of the Foster family looked embarrassed, "I only have five hundred Coins of silver, what do you think?" It's not that he doesn't want to give it all. It's just that there isn't enough. He should keep some money for self defense.
However, sixty-one carriages would require more than six thousand Coins of silver. Who could come up with so much money all at once? Miss Wendy Lark is still a little young and doesn't think things through thoroughly enough.
Wendy Lark closed the documents and stood up. "Okay, I understand. Let's take out a loan for all of it. After completing the process, you can bring thirty seven people with me to get the carriage." The head of the Foster family stood up unconsciously and asked.
"When…?" "Today…." The calm and composed expression of the head of the Foster family cracked in disbelief, "Today? Are you sure?" (Is the carriage that easy to get?) He thought in his heart.
Wendy Lark set off with a group of people. This time, she brought her eldest brother and second brother along. Along the way, everyone was talking about everything. In general, everyone felt that it was a bit unrealistic and was afraid that Wendy Lark would fail this time.
It is obvious to everyone that it is not easy to get a carriage. Only a few spots are given out each time and you have to fight for them. But, he didn't dare say these words in front of Wendy Lark. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Miss Wendy, where are we going?"
"You'll find out when you get there." The group followed Wendy Lark and ran into a carriage shop. The clerk at the carriage shop was a little nervous when he saw a group of people coming. Were they here to fight? "What can I do for you, everyone?"
The head of the Foster family stepped forward and bowed, then said politely, "We want to buy a carriage. Please ask your shopkeeper to come out." The waiter looked apologetic and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. We won't be entertaining guests these two days."
Jerry Lark couldn't help but get anxious, "Open the door but not do business, what does that mean?" The waiter kept bowing, but Jerry Lark insisted on seeing the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper came out, he kept apologizing.
The scene froze for a moment, and everyone looked towards the rear carriage. This is embarrassing. Wendy Lark had vowed that she would definitely get a carriage, but now, it was obviously impossible. The head of the Foster family frowned slightly.
He thought, young man, you still have no experience, and you will suffer a great loss. But what else can we do? We are all in the same boat, so we have to find a way to fool people. "Ahem, well...how about we go check out another carriage shop?"
Unexpectedly, the waiter said, "We are the only carriage and horse business within a hundred miles." The Lark family members were very disappointed and some of them could not hold back. "Head, are we going back now? Everyone in the family is looking forward to it."
The people in the carriage and horse company subconsciously looked at the carriage. Which family's Head was the person sitting in the carriage who never showed up? A slender hand stretched out from the gap in the car curtain, holding a small golden seal in the palm.
"Brother, show this seal to the shopkeeper." The shopkeeper was surprised at the young voice. Aren't Family heads usually older people? However, when he saw the small golden seal, all distracting thoughts disappeared, and he bowed respectfully.
"I didn't know you were coming, and I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please come in and have a cup of fragrant tea." Wendy Lark said calmly, "I won't drink the tea. I have something important to do. Let's hand over the carriage now."
Her tone was condescending, revealing the aura of a superior. The shopkeeper was shocked and didn't dare to think too much. "Excuse me, what is the password to pick up the goods?" "The rain bathes the lotus and the autumn is clear."
This is a code word agreed upon in advance, with Wendy Lark's last name. The shopkeeper's waist bent further and his smile became brighter. "We have been waiting for your arrival. The carriage arrived yesterday and is now in the backyard."
Everyone's eyes widened. What was going on? The head of the Foster family was even more stunned, so he was the one who had no vision? What made him think that Miss Wendy Lark would fail? He still had the habit of looking down on women.
That was Miss Wendy Lark! A remarkable woman who had ascended to the position of Family leader at the young age of eighteen, she could not be viewed by the standards of an ordinary person.
Wendy Lark tapped the wall of the carriage, "Master Foster, please bring someone to inspect the goods."
"Yes." The head of the Foster family was shocked. He waved his hand and walked in with the members of the two Families. When they walked to the backyard, a row of neatly arranged blue cloth carriages came into view.
The spectacular scene was deeply shocking. On the other side, horses were arranged in the stables, eating grass quietly. The carriage looks very simple, it is neither new nor old, but there is something else going on inside.
Half an hour later, they came out one by one, pulling their carriages and dancing with excitement. The head of the Foster family walked at the back and said to Wendy. "Lark... head, there are sixty six carriages in total, five more than the number."
