Chapter 133: chill

Views:

When he left the restaurant and returned to Wu's house, it was already late. The Wu family mansion is brightly lit inside and out. For the past month and a half, the festive atmosphere of the Wu family house has not dissipated. Or only the servants around the highest-ranking group of people in the family can vaguely feel that something is wrong. At this time, when they entered the gate of the house, a servant who was guarding the door came over carefully.

"The eldest young master is back. The second young master and the master have arrived home half an hour ago. In addition, the third master, fifth master, sixth master, shopkeeper Luo, and shopkeeper Nie have also come over, and they are discussing matters with the master in the side hall at this time."

This is not long after dinner for ordinary people. In the past month, many housekeepers have to socialize outside until late at night before they can come back. This is only the case for these two days. Wu Qilong nodded and walked silently all the way to the side hall before reaching the corridor, only to hear a bang inside, and the sound of a teacup falling to the ground.

"That means it can't be solved? But it's only been three days? So it can't be solved?"

At this time, it was his father Wu Chenghou who threw the teacup and was talking. Over the years, I have rarely seen him in such a runaway state. It is also because the consequences of this problem are too serious, and the turning point is too sudden, making everyone feel a little bit caught off guard. Suddenly, he was hit in the head, and then everyone was a little stunned. In the side hall, the fifth uncle in the clan was talking to his father at this time. The dyeing of the fabric is technically in charge of the manager Nie, but the most important manager is the fifth uncle. At this time, he was probably the only one who could talk to his father about bargaining.

"But... It really can't be solved. It's not a recipe that we have researched here. After getting it for two months, the masters at home have also tried to change it, but this recipe is too sensitive, and changes will be made big and small. The color changed drastically, and the Su family even used some raw materials that were originally used for dyeing blue fabrics. Now... It's not that it can't be solved, maybe with luck... "

The fifth uncle Wu Chengke was also a little embarrassed at this time, Wu Qilong walked into the door, the father above gave him a look, waved his hand casually to let him sit next to him, turned his head and confronted the fifth uncle again.

"… luck?"

"Heh, it took the Su family two or three years to come up with this recipe, and we don't have a clue now. Master Chen and the others said... maybe we can only rely on luck..."

Above the shopping mall, it is said that the problem is to be solved, but the answer at this time is that it can only rely on luck. Wu Chenghou above stared at him, and the entire main hall was silent. After a long while, Wu Chenghou opened his mouth a few times and sat back in his seat: "So, you can be sure? It's not that we have a problem, we are really... put together by the Su family?"

Among the people in the side hall, no one dared to speak, and no one dared to make such a conclusion. Maybe everyone has thought about it, but if this is the case, the price to be paid in the future is really terrible. In a moment of silence, Luo Minzhi shook his head:

"This matter is still strange and difficult to understand. If the Su family really set up such a game, wouldn't it be better for them to directly take over the royal merchants. Su Tan'er has spent several years doing this, and everyone can feel it. Look at the current Su family. Even if there is a turnaround, the movement in the past month and a half is enough to cause them to lose a lot. The third master, Nie, and the others have considered it. Conspiracy, the risk is too great for the Su family..."

Wu Chengyuan, who was ranked third in the Wu family, also nodded at this time: "Brother Luo Xian is right, we didn't plan to use the recipe of the Su family, and only made up our minds more than two months ago. Su Jiaruo There is really another set of formulas, we can't be unaware, and after several deductions have proved that there is no problem with this golden brocade. To say that the Su family laid out this plan from the beginning, how could they be sure from the beginning We will enter the game. To say that they are so perfect, I don’t believe it, Su Tan’er is not so capable, and even Su Yu, he is not so sophisticated…”

"But no matter what, our current situation is like this..." Wu Qilong sat next to him and didn't speak since he entered the room, but he didn't seem to be in a high mood, and just looked at everyone in the side hall lightly. Wu Qihao glanced at his brother a few times, and then he sighed and began to speak.

"Since this is the case, we have to start thinking about the next response. My father and I talked to Mr. Dong today, and there should be no problem with the delay of the delivery date, but now the trouble is. Once we officially propose a delay to the Weaving Bureau, Then this matter has to be put in an official document, and it will not be something that can be suppressed by Master Dong. The news of the Wu family's problems will inevitably spread, and it will be difficult to say what it will look like at that time. The delivery date is still ten days away, and after ten days, we have to figure out how to deal with it.”

He paused for a while: "It doesn't matter if it's delayed for a month or two, we still have to adjust this formula to solve the problem in the end. Fifth Uncle, Uncle Nie, no matter how hard you work or how lucky you are, We can only try it. In addition, if there is a real recipe from the Su family, we probably have to try it too. When the time comes... Brother, we have to look at your side... "

Wu Qihao looked at his brother, and on the other side, the sixth uncle of the clan shook his head and said, "If it wasn't for the Su family's layout, it would indeed be possible to do this, and I can't be sure about this right now."

"But now we can only deal with it like this." Wu Chengyuan interjected, "It's really uncertain now, but if it wasn't for the layout of the Su family, but because of a coincidence, we have a problem here, and we can handle it. If you don't deal with it, you will become a laughing stock in the end."

In the arguing with some hasty voices, Wu Qilong also stood up under the watchful eyes of his younger brother, he patted Wu Qihao on the shoulder: "Father, uncles and uncles, I... I was dealing with the northwest side recently. I haven't really paid much attention to the development of Jiangning City. I know some things, but I don't know too much detail. Recently... what the hell is the Su family doing?"

Wu Qilong had the demeanor of Wu Chenghou. Although his voice was not high at this time, he clearly had some conclusions in his heart. Everyone looked at him, Wu Chengyuan thought for a while, then sat down on the seat: "It's infighting."

"The situation is not good, Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang have exerted their strength, and they are making trouble at this time." Wu Chengke also shook his head and said, "Su Tan'er is devastated, making apologies everywhere, pulling relationships, and wanting to maintain the original cooperation. ."

"I heard... It doesn't seem to have any effect. Su Tan'er has the ability, but there was a Su Boyong behind her before. Now Su Boyong is said to be paralyzed, and he can't get out of bed for a while. The original Li Jianian's family has already prepared The cooperation with the big house of the Su family has stopped, and some small businesses are also affected. The main reason is that everyone is saying that Su Tan'er will soon be unable to handle the big house's business. The Xue family is also attracting these people recently. Su Once the family's business shrinks, some people who are not very close at first might as well cooperate with the Xue family first..."

Everyone has been busy with other substantive things recently, and they don't know much about the real and specific things about the Su family. Luo Minzhi has had a lot of dinners recently, but he also paid attention to it. At this time, when everyone was talking indiscriminately, Wu Qilong frowned: "What about Su Tan'er himself?"

"Maintain the previous cooperative relationship." Wu Chengyuan smiled, "Su Boyong has collapsed. In the current situation, the business of the second and third bedrooms of the Su family is shrinking, and she still wants to maintain the previous business, which was originally owned by Su Boyong. The ones in the palm are maintained, how is it possible..."

Wu Qilong looked at the third uncle, his eyes did not change much: "But what is the entire Su family doing?"

"The entire Su family's big room, she..." Wu Chengyuan looked at the nephew, waved his hand, then stopped in mid-air, shook his head after a while, but didn't speak, as if he had understood something, or I have thought about it early in the morning, but I don't want to say it. No matter how I think about it, it feels incredible and incomprehensible. The expressions of everyone in the room changed a little. What they thought at this time was not a good thing.

"Actually..." Wu Qilong's wry smile was indescribable, and he opened his mouth slowly, "Actually... Third Uncle and Fifth Uncle, you may have thought about it a few days ago, didn't you?"

"That's the cause, it's impossible." Wu Chengke said gloomily.

"There's no way to do it at this time, even if it's the cause..." Wu Qilong shook his head, "Three years of preparation, the Royal Merchant invested 200,000 taels of silver at one time, and it may have invested more before. Su Tan'er improved the looms under her. Originally, we thought she was in order to meet the needs of a large number of old cloth, and she was determined to win the emperor. But after the emperor's business, she hadn't stopped, and people outside thought she was crazy, and it was difficult to ride a tiger. I want to increase production at a low price for our Wujia... ”

"Women can do anything if their brains are broken." Wu Qilong murmured, "But what if... Dad, all uncles and uncles, if the market is bad, everyone will join forces to beat her, So we have never been afraid of her actions. But from the beginning, this woman was staring at our Wu family's share, and she was waiting for us to vacate our share, what would happen?"

Wu Chenghou looked at this son for a long time in front, and then spoke with a hoarse voice: "If this is the case, she is almost ready now."

"Yeah." Wu Qilong smiled wearily, and the next moment, raised his voice, "Now no one in the entire market is staring at our Wu family, we are going to expand, even walking over, everyone else is thinking about what to do Get out of the way. Led by the Xue family, everyone is staring at the current Su family, waiting for it to collapse suddenly, and then divide those shares. But what if the Su family would not collapse at all? Only this woman took it from us Under the Royal Merchant…”

He waved his hand: "No, we have been waiting even before we won the royal merchants. Once there is a problem on our side, the entire Jiangning cloth merchants and those who are staring at the Su family will make a big joke. Wu As soon as the family's market share is released, before the rest of the people can't react, Su Tan'er will eat them all, and the rest of the people can only stare blankly."

"For a month and a half, we felt that no one had any problems, and we left them behind as the defeated generals. But in fact, they have distracted the attention of the entire Jiangning weaving industry, and secretly made all the preparations. Su Tan'er updated the looms under her control to increase the shipment rate, which seems useless now. Everyone is laughing, only us, after reacting, they have been preparing for more than a month... "

An indescribable feeling of suffocation enveloped the entire side hall. After a while, Wu Chengyuan shook his head: "This is the worst possibility, if so, this game is too exaggerated, how can we not feel it at all? not coming out…”

Wu Chengke frowned: "Even if this is the case, the Su family is not having a good time now. How long can Su Tan'er last? How long can we last? If it's a big deal, it will be postponed for two months, and she will be killed... "

"Whether it's exaggerated or not, this is what is in front of us, and..." Wu Qilong looked at Wu Chengke, "Fifth uncle, people won't wait for us to fall by ourselves. The problem happened in the workshop the day before yesterday. Uncle Qin I just fell ill, did you notice it yesterday? Someone spread a rumor outside, saying that something happened to our Wu family in the royal merchants... Of course, it is also common to speculate on the market, but this is too much Soon, everyone knows that there are rumors behind it, but not many people pay attention to it at the moment, but... "

He took out a piece of rice paper from his arms: "Before I came back, I actually checked Su Tan'er's actions for more than a month. Now maybe I can see it more clearly. After the emperor's business, all adjustments and expenditures are aimed at We came here from our Wu family, and we were very careful. For a month and a half, we walked forward without thinking, and they had all the swords, spears, swords and halberds in place silently, and each of them was facing our vital points. Come here... Dad, Uncle Fifth, do you feel it?"

Wu Qilong smiled wryly, shook his head, and looked in the direction of Su Mansion: "That woman has already done all the preparations secretly... It's time to start..."

The rice paper was circulated in the hall. For more than a month, these seemed to be jokes. As long as there was nothing wrong with the Wu family, all the wiring was meaningless. What will happen to the Wu family. It is with this understanding that they sang in the best direction all the way, and only for a moment when they realized that the dead place was still in doubt, they realized that the surroundings were full of sharp edges.

It was an indescribable feeling, looking at the layout that Su Tan'er had made for the Wu family in the past month and a half listed on the piece of paper, everyone felt that their backs were starting to get chills for a while, and a cold breath came from there. If this is true...

"I still don't believe it." Wu Chengyuan waved his hand abruptly, "If that's the case, then we didn't go in by ourselves, but they lured us in. From more than two months or earlier, they Has he been plotting against us? Su Tan'er has worked hard for three years to set up a game like this? It's not that we haven't considered getting fakes before. The whole thing is a little deliberate, and everyone will see it! No one can set up such a game. Bureau! This matter... It's not something that can be done just by thinking about it. Everyone knows how difficult the whole process is and how many accidents there are. It's impossible for Su Tan'er, and Su Yu won't take risks like this! They If they can get the royal merchants, why don't they get it? If they can't get it, why did they have to build up their momentum to such a level that they couldn't get anyone down. Let's just say that getting the recipe is too difficult, we can't get it. It's too simple, we won't believe it, and after we have reviewed it many times, we can confirm that this matter is no problem, who can do it to such an extent!"

"She has already started, and it will be seen in a few days. In fact, I also hope that I am just guessing..." Wu Qilong sat there, shaking his head a little quietly, "But if not, then the whole incident would When you get up... oh, it's very interesting... "

"It's true that Su Tan'er was ill at the time. Su Yu couldn't handle such a thing during that time. After all, he is old. But there is one person, maybe we all neglected, or we didn't take him except at the beginning. Take it as one thing. Look... He didn't seem to be doing anything during the whole thing, but after Su Tan'er fell ill, he was actually doing everything. He took us around in circles, it was like being there every day Just kidding. But behind this, he ran out in a daze and said that he wanted to publicize the yellow cloth with great fanfare and publicize that their Su family is the most powerful... "

"It's actually interesting to think about it now. I, as well as the Xue family, all had a habitual idea at the time. Every time we talked about Ning Yi in the restaurant and teahouse about what silly things he did recently. At that time, I couldn't forget to remind others: Su Tan'er is very powerful, and the Su family is still using the most open and honest method to rob the royal businessman, so don't be deceived by Ning Yi's performance. In the end, everyone was smart, and everyone was watching. Wearing the cloth of the Su family."

"Third uncle, do you remember what you told me when I was a child? If you want people to see something, the best way is not to put it in the most conspicuous place, but to put it there and cover it up, or bury it in A layer of sand is laid on the ground. If you want to make it clear, there is no silver 300 taels here... Ning Yi has been telling us from beginning to end that the Su family has the best Busu family and the best Busu family has the best cloth! And… We all feel that we are smart people, and after seeing the key points behind, we gradually lost our vigilance..."

"He's a fool, an idiot in the business world, Su Tan'er is ill, and some omissions are inevitable. If it was Su Tan'er himself, we might be more vigilant, because some small mistakes shouldn't have been made. But he keeps making them. Small mistake, none of us thought it was abnormal. Hehe... He didn't do anything in the end, anyway, in the end we got the yellow cloth's recipe, he just looked at it like that, and then... Prime Minister Bai kept his sword... He did After finishing things, he threw things away and left. For the past month and a half, he has been the same as before. He didn't even bother to look at these things in the shopping mall, but no one knows about it until now. Maybe he didn't take it seriously at all. what's going on..."

Wu Qilong seemed to have finished talking to himself, sitting there and smiling sarcastically. Wu Qihao on the side frowned: "Ning Yi? Why is this... Impossible... "

Wu Qilong raised his head: "Oh, I also hope that I made a mistake, but you know, today I went to talk to the neiying we arranged in the Su family, and he told me one thing, he told me two nights ago. When the shopkeeper Zhou, who was in charge of the dyeing party of the Su family, was chatting, the shopkeeper Zhou was drunk and said a word, he said that in the whole Su family, besides Su Yu, the person he admired was the family's uncle Ning..."

Someone's eyes widened.

Wu Qilong paused: "Anyway... There are still a few days left, no matter what, within ten days we have to request an extension from the Weaving Bureau. At that time, if the Su family really makes a layout, everything will follow. When he came here, then we knew whether he was acting at that time or had a clear mind. If that's the case..." He looked at the darkness outside the door and remembered the figure of the scholar, "I would be a little afraid of him..."

Recalling Ning Yi's performance during that period and the recent period, everyone was still silent and stunned, exchanging unbelievable glances. It's downright weird.

After a while, Wu Qilong rubbed his forehead and murmured a sigh.

"Poor Xi Junyu, he still doesn't know..."
