On this night when many people were paying attention to Ning Yi or Su Tan'er, in the yard of the Su family, everything seemed calm and gentle.
In Su Tan'er's room, the sound of chess pieces falling sounded, chattering. Chan'er and Xing'er were playing backgammon beside the bed, while Su Tan'er lay on the bed and watched, occasionally giving pointers. It’s rare for Xing’er to win a game with Chan’er. At this time, she often protests. If the voice here becomes too loud, Ning Yi, who is discussing something with Juan’er, will often reprimand: “I didn’t see it. Is there a patient in the room! How can you rest with such a fuss!"
"The one who speaks the loudest is the young lady." Xing'er said, and Chan'er nodded, "Yes, yes." Su Tan'er laughed: "I just like to be lively, you don't allow people to get out of bed and don't allow people to talk. ."
"No patient attitude at all, unrepentant..."
"I'm sick."
"Good girl, good..."
"Which one do you say?"
"Huh? What?"
"Which sister are you talking about, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth and the seventh, and then there are so many cousins, I'll count them, Xiaomei, Xiaoqi, Xiaoluo..." Su Taner counted on the bed with her fingers crossed. Leisurely, doing some boring things, Ning Yi laughed angrily, picked up some books and threw them on the chessboard.
"Chan'er, Xing'er, together with Juan'er, write down the process of upgrading the looms in various places. It doesn't matter if you discuss it slowly, how to mobilize the funds, which one is in charge of which one, and who is in charge of the shopkeeper? Why are you looking at me, just let you do it, just think about it, there is a possibility that it will be…”
When Ning Yi said this, Su Tan'er also opened her mouth on the bed: "Xiang Gong, this matter..."
"You have other things." Ning Yi picked up some letters and threw them by the bed. "Since you're so busy, help me see what's been delivered these days."
Su Tan'er took the letter in her hand, as if she was afraid of being snatched back by Ning Yi, then laughed and looked at the three maids in the room: "But... Xianggong, the transformation and upgrading of the loom is too much. big..."
"Anyway, you have to nod your head in the end. Who cares about them, they have been following you, maybe there is a better reference."
Su Tan'er thought about it, and finally nodded, then looked at the letters in her hands: "These are..."
"In the past few days, I have read the statistics of all the shopkeepers' opinions in Jiangning City, including the letters they handed over, several times, and I have also asked Chan'er Juan'er and the others, but the one I know best is you, I want you to talk about it. It feels like these people's thoughts, who is unhappy with me, who wants to test me, who doesn't care, who doesn't understand, their character and why they are like this. Well, you can't be idle anyway, right? "
Su Tan'er smiled, then Zhengrong opened those things, and after a while, began to think and analyze.
In the past few days, the room has been like this. Su Tan'er has subsided. Except for the day when Su Boyong was determined to be disabled, he was in a low mood, but then he cheered up. Ning Yi has restrictions on her, and she is cooperating as much as possible. Now that she is weak, she has to cultivate for a while. On weekdays, Chan'er or Juan'er stay with her. After Ning Yi left, she got out of bed and went to the yard. Walking, sitting, maybe a lot of business things are unavoidable to think about, but the really high-load thinking has been reduced.
Of course, Ning Yi is also very unreliable many times. For example, he would throw the things to be dealt with at night to three maids to do, and then throw them to Su Taner to see after they are done, but it turns out that they all did a good job. It would still worry her that the plan to upgrade the loom was to be handled by three people, but since Ning Yi knew exactly what she was doing, it would be fine.
Time passed in such an atmosphere, Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er discussed their own ideas, and occasionally Ning Yi and Su Tan'er also interjected, while Su Tan'er was thinking more about the intentions of the shopkeepers, and she would talk to Su Tan'er. Ning Yi was talking and analyzing. This kind of thing may not last for a long time. After finishing the work, there is still time to chat or something. When Ning Yi goes back to the room, everyone starts to prepare to rest. , laughter and conversation. Then, the courtyard gradually turned quiet.
In the early morning, Jiangning City woke up to the sound of roosters.
After washing up and having breakfast, Ning Yi and Chan'er got into the carriage and went to Su's main store in Jiangning City together. The next thing is quite simple. There is a meeting in the morning, and then Ning Yi and Chan'er go to the store. Xiao Chan is usually cute. At this time, it is quite serious to be Ning Yi's assistant. When I had nothing to do, I introduced what I saw next to me, and told Ning Yi little by little about the things in the cloth line. It was probably because the oolong that Ning Yi put up, which used smoked herbs as a dyeing ingredient, made her feel very embarrassed. That afternoon She looked at Ning Yi resentfully for a long time.
Resentment is resentment, and most of the things, after all, she helped Ning Yi block the past. When she was having a morning meeting with a group of shopkeepers, she would sit next to her with a small notebook, with a meticulous and professional appearance, occasionally speaking on a certain idea, saying that this was not the same as what the lady said, and Ning Yi was just by the side. Mmmmm nodded.
After this morning meeting, Ning Yi and Xiaochan followed the carriage around Jiangning City. There was nothing to do in the morning, and they just walked around at will. Jiangning still seemed prosperous, but the soldiers and yamen came and went, the atmosphere was relatively serious, and occasionally some fights could be seen happening. Xiaochan sat next to Ning Yi and opened the curtain to see, then bowed her head and was silent, Ning Yi stretched out her hand to embrace it. When she was on her shoulder, she turned her head away and rubbed her cheek against Ning Yi's hand like a kitten.
"Uncle, are you still looking for that Mr. He by yourself today?"
"Um."
"But it's not safe."
"nothing."
"But I'm worried..." She muttered softly, at this time, Ning Yi felt more and more like a kitten and couldn't help but pat her head: "The situation outside is not that bad, no need I'm so worried. Don't be unhappy, be good." Xiaochan shook her head vigorously, and after a while looking at Ning Yi's expression, she laughed and lowered her head to speak softly.
"Actually, Xiaochan is a servant girl. In some people, she will be beaten like this... Er, my uncle has something to do. Actually, Xiaochan knows that the situation outside is not so bad. Xiaochan also knows, But... But for the uncle and the young lady, Xiaochan can't help but worry, um, she can't help it, so it's good to let the uncle know... "
She clenched her small fist, her eyes pounded her heart seriously, and then lowered her head blushing. Ning Yi didn't know how to answer for a while. When the carriage arrived at the last shop, Xiaochan returned to normal. , jumped out of the car, and always looked very serious and professional in front of the guys in the store.
At noon, Xiaochan and a few others were arranged to go back to Su Mansion. Ning Yi went to He Fang's mansion. This was the third day of the scheduled visit. On the way, he accidentally met Wu Qihao of Wu's family on the street. , Everyone chatted for a while, Wu Qihao probably greeted Su Tan'er's condition, and then left with a smile. Compared with the Xue family, the two brothers of the Wu family are relatively good people, probably because there is not much friction on weekdays, when they were about to arrive at the He residence, Ning Yi was suddenly stopped.
Those were two young men in green clothes and hats, who looked like short people from many big families. They stopped Ning Yi, and then pulled them into the alley next to them. One of them saluted, "Teacher." This is the little prince. Zhou Junwu, the other one seems to be more reserved, but this Tsing Yi little hat looks quite interesting, naturally his sister Zhou Pei.
After saying hello to each other, Ning Yi was a little puzzled: "What are you two doing? You sneaked out?"
"No, no, Uncle Mu and the others are all by the side." Zhou Junwu quickly explained, Ning Yi looked outside, and saw several people who had also changed their clothes looking over, secretly on guard, thinking about it. The guard in the palace.
"Actually, my sister and I heard that the teacher wanted to see that He Fang, and we must have a way to persuade him at once. We wanted to see and experience, so we came out. Oh, yes yes yes, the teacher sees our dress. Is that okay? We will pretend to be the attendants who go in with the teacher to give gifts, and we must not talk! Don't mess around! Don't make trouble! Well, we have also prepared gifts. Okay, so it's too much trouble for the teacher. Let's prepare it first. It's very valuable. There are ganoderma lucidum, preserved fruit for tribute, and white velvet velvet... We have already inquired about it, and that Mr. He Fanghe will definitely like it, we just thought See how the teacher persuaded that He Fang..."
Xiao Junwu looked excited and waved his hand to emphasize that they would never cause trouble, while Zhou Pei stood beside him and did not speak. Regarding this matter, it was mainly because Kang Xian analyzed what Ning Yi was going to do last night, and finally came to the conclusion that it was almost impossible for Ning Yi to persuade He Fang directly with his eloquence. Since he was not eloquent, it must be other things. The sister and brother summed it up later and felt that it must be a conspiracy, a trick, a threat or something.
Think about it, seeing a court official, grabbing someone's handle, making a pigtail, threatening him, and even after finishing the matter, the other party can't speak - it must be like this, Ning Yi is not an idiot. Such a dark and evil thing is really exciting to think about, so today the two brothers and sisters disguised themselves and stayed here, preparing to negotiate with Ning Yi and go in to gain insights.
The corners of Ning Yi's eyes jumped, and he shook his head when he heard Zhou Junwu finish all his words and looked at him expectantly.
"To make trouble, you are not allowed to follow..."
