On August 25th, it was the afternoon. When Ning Yi returned home, the entire Su family mansion still felt busy, but he didn't understand why it was still so busy. The weather is very good, the autumn afternoon, the warm wind is warm, and some trees are idle. "Ning Yi walked to the pavilion and sat down.
"Xiang Gong is very leisurely. He stayed in bed in the morning and refused to get up."
"I didn't have anything to do with me." Ning Yi smiled, "I went late this morning, I missed the morning meeting, and then I watched them busy all morning, preparing all kinds of things, I was thinking, There are so many things to prepare... Cough, shopkeeper Liao sometimes comes to chat with me. He said that when this happens, I am usually very nervous. No... About half an hour later, shopkeeper Luo also passed by and came to tell me that he was actually very nervous... "
Ning Yi stated lightly that Su Tan'er had already burst out laughing, and when she heard Storekeeper Luo, she couldn't stop smiling, and stretched out her hand to hold the railing next to her. Ning Yi shook his head: "They're all good people, I know I can't get up because I'm nervous, so come over to comfort me when I'm so busy, and at noon there's shopkeeper Xi, who told me about the last time you did business in Jiangzhou. What a tense situation…”
"Xianggong obviously did it on purpose in the morning."
"No, I really didn't get up, you see, this is the first time I've been late for work in a month. To be honest, every time I see everyone busy and I don't have anything, I feel sorry for them. Today is probably their worst day. Busy day."
"Xianggong is not sincere." Su Tan'er smiled implicitly, Ning Yi shook his head: "Look, there is a deep misunderstanding between us, I was busy outside... Cough, after a busy morning, you were sitting there Looking at the scenery in the yard is so leisurely, it is clear at a glance who is diligent and who is lazy, and you still say that I am not sincere..."
He also spent the morning outside wandering around in a daze, but at this time, he naturally didn't blush when he said it, and the two of them knew the truth about these matters, Su Tan'er smiled, and then lowered his head: " The concubine is actually nervous..."
"Have it?"
"After all, it's been years of hard work, and something like this happened again. A few days ago, I really felt that the backbone was gone. Now... It's much better now, but there will definitely be tension, as Xianggong said, it's tonight. Just now, the concubine has been thinking about the past few years, and I also expected that there will be a day when the situation will be decided like this, or it will succeed or fail. I have thought about the mood of the concubine at that time, but I never thought that it would become like this..." She was slightly embarrassed, "Is Xianggong nervous?"
"Uh, there will definitely be tension..." Ning Yi thought about it and nodded, "Appropriate tension will help you focus."
Su Tan'er looked at him: "Xiang Gong is really calmer than anyone else..." In his words, there seemed to be a bit of jealousy towards Ning Yi's calmness.
"Ah… "
"After today, what does Xianggong want to do?"
"It's done tonight. Of course I'll go back to teach. Anyway, your illness is healed, so don't ask me to help. Obviously, I'm not in business. It's obvious to all." Ning Yi smiled, "And I joined the family to eat soft. Fan, don't worry too much, you can still live the life of a rich man, Yi Lai stretches out his hand for food and opens his mouth, what a good day, who doesn't allow me to worry about anyone."
"Another word."
"Truth."
"Hmph, so... Xianggong is going to eat Tan'er's soft rice next? Do you really intend to do this?"
"Heh, if there's nothing wrong with it, I'll leave it like this... In fact, I think this is a good thing, you see, I can teach and write poetry. How to say Jiangning's reputation as the number one talent, I'll go out and ask for support. , there are still quite a lot of rich women willing to take it out, so it's good to take it out, how about it, after passing this village, there will be no such shop..."
Ning Yi joked for a while, ready to sell himself as a commodity. This joke will probably be considered normal in a thousand years. After all, it was a bit ahead of time at this time. Su Tan'er couldn't stop laughing and stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, but she also lowered her head. His face flushed: "Xianggong shameless..."
"Your words broke my heart, this business is difficult to negotiate..." Ning Yi shook his head and sighed.
"Uh, that's fine." Su Tan'er forced a solemn expression, "Anyway, my concubine is... I am..."
"Rich lady."
"Well, the concubine is a rich woman, so Tan'er's soft rice is eaten by the husband... The business is done."
She took out the momentum of business decision, but Ning Yi smiled and shook his head: "How can it be so simple, you broke my heart just now, the business has to be re-offered, there are so many rich women, why do you have to choose you. "
"Uh, but the concubine... the concubine is... the concubine has been married to the husband, the concubine is..." Su Tan'er prepared to boast with a stern face. After thinking about it for a while, she was finally discouraged. He bowed his head and smiled: "Xiang Gong..."
"Forget it, this is too much." Ning Yi smiled and waved his hand, "After today, it's better to continue as usual. I really didn't plan to do anything, I feel troublesome."
"But I feel sorry for my husband..."
"Um?"
"My concubine never thought to treat my husband as a son-in-law. I didn't think about it at first, but... It's just that my concubine has a strong temperament and has things I want to do, so it's just like this, since we got married... Uh, in short, concubine I never hoped that my husband would feel... I feel... My concubine doesn't know what I'm talking about..."
She organized the language in embarrassment, and then finally showed a somewhat embarrassed and somewhat helpless look, Ning Yi nodded: "I know."
Su Tan'er glanced at him and confirmed that he was not perfunctory before heaving a sigh of relief: "My concubine also knows that this is not good, not like a lady, not like those... Oh, rich woman, but Tan'er can only do this. …”
"This is a competent rich woman..." Ning Yi murmured something, but Su Tan'er didn't hear it clearly. Naturally, a rich woman and a strong woman are two concepts these days, and the latter has almost never really taken shape. She thought for a while.
"Actually, the concubine was thinking here just now, and I also remembered one thing that I wanted to tell my husband..."
"what?"
"When the concubine got married, she ran away secretly. At that time, it wasn't because the concubine didn't know what to do. She was a woman after all..." She lowered her head slightly. , "Tan'er knows it's wrong, but Tan'er won't apologize to her husband at that time. If it happens again, although she knows it's wrong, maybe she will handle it like that..."
She raised her head to look at Ning Yi, and Ning Yi nodded: "Because you didn't know each other then?"
"Well, at that time, Tan'er didn't know Xianggong, and Xianggong didn't know Tan'er either... But now Tan'er wants to tell Xianggong that Tan'er will never do such a thing again."
She was quite courageous when she spoke. After she finished speaking, she lowered her head. It took a long time for Ning Yi to laugh: "Isn't this still an apology..." Although the voice was small, Su Tan'er still blushed a little when she heard it. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't hold back his anger, but he didn't refute anything in the end.
The two sat in the pavilion for a while, Xing’er looked down from the upstairs with some things in her arms, and saw that the two of them didn’t bother and went to do their own business. As evening approached, Chan’er Juan’er also came back, Ning Yi got up. When he asked, "If you're nervous, do you want to go to the banquet tonight?"
Su Tan'er smiled and shook her head: "No, Xianggong just wants to eat soft rice, and it is rare to do something. This has been hosted by Xianggong for more than a month. Today is the most critical day. The concubine is nervous and waiting here for good news from her husband."
"Tsk, no problem, look at me going crazy today and take back the title of the royal merchant in a high-profile way! Then I will retire after I succeed."
Ning Yi stretched out his hands and stretched out in the sunset, next to him, Su Tan'er glared at him slightly angrily. The curtain of the ownership of the royal business is about to open, and the small courtyard is peaceful and integrated into this warm sunset.
*****************
When night fell, the small motorcade drove out of the Su family's mansion. Ning Yi, Su Zhongkan, Su Yunfang, as well as several members of Dafang, Erfang, and Sanfang, the main stewards are all in the team, representing the Su family, there are less than 20 people in total, Xiaochan follows Ning Yi was sitting on a carriage, slightly nervous. The carriage was not far away, and an unmarked carriage merged into the back of Ning Yi's carriage. On it sat some guards from Kang Wangfu, dressed as servants. The Zhou family siblings and the maid trotted to keep up with the carriage, and then got into the car where Ning Yi was, ready to see the final result of the royal business incident presided over by Ning Yi.
After a while, a restaurant named Lvyilou, located by the Qinhuai River, came into view, and horses and carts came over, one by one, the cloth merchants, Xue's, Wu's, Chen's, Lu's... and some The officials of the Manufacturing Bureau are very powerful. This kind of thing often happens in Jiangning. Pedestrians take a look at it and ignore it. However, the people who are chatting and saying hello have already tightened their heartstrings.
What will happen tonight is definitely a big event for Jiangning's weaving industry. The focus of this is naturally the competition between the Su family, the Xue family, and the Wu family for the royal merchants. Since the assassination incident that happened a month ago, people with a heart have smelled the hidden smell of gunpowder in this incident, waiting for Let's see the outcome of this business battle tonight.
Ning Yi lifted the curtain, took a breath, and walked down with a smile.
Under the night, the lights were like dragons, and they continued to burn before and after the long street.
