041 Eavesdropping
"Yes."
Eleven Niang nodded with a smile, and slowly and meticulously explained the various functions and uses of the glass in the previous life, Mo Shouzhen listened very carefully and seriously, Eleven Niang's words fell, he had already looked at the glass bottle on the table with hot eyes, and laughed out loud, "When the time comes, we will not only be able to make the other women of the five countries crazy to look at people, but also produce bright and transparent glass windows, and we don't have to spend tens of thousands of taels to buy such good-looking and impractical things!" Ha ha...... Good! Good! ”
"However, raw materials are difficult to find, and the dissolution process may not be successful at one time, so it needs to be explored and studied, and I am afraid that it will consume a lot of manpower, material resources and time." In ancient times, the transportation was backward, the transportation of raw materials was difficult, and there was no professional technology, so she only relied on manpower and the information she wrote down to succeed...... I'm afraid it's going to be hard.
Mo Shouchen didn't care, and waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way." ”
Mo Shouchen carefully asked Shi Niang about a few raw materials, and Shi Niang also tried her best to tell Mo Shou all the information she knew about this aspect.
The two of them didn't stop until half an hour after noon, because Eleven Niang's stomach was rumbling.
Mo Shouchen smiled and shouted that Xiao Er served a few plates of signature dishes, and discussed the last key question with Shi Niang, "If it can be successfully developed, we will divide it fifty-fifty, how about it?" ”
Shi Niang shook her head, "The third aunt is busy with everything, I just provide a prescription, I can't ask for so much." As...... Three-seven, I'm three, and my third aunt is seven. ”
"Nope." Mo Shouzhen glared at her, "Where are we going to toss without your prescription, four six, I six and you four, it's so decided." ”
Eleven Niang smiled, "Cheng, listen to the third aunt." ”
Mo Shouchen smiled and put the chopsticks into the bowl of Eleven Niang, "Eat quickly, look at your little arms and legs, I don't know how to support a shop." ”
"Thank you, third aunt, my third aunt and Brother Yun are okay?"
Speaking of his daughter-in-law and son, Mo Shouzhen's eyes immediately showed a touch of doting, and he shook his head helplessly with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's not good, your third aunt has been making trouble every day to get out of bed during this time, but fortunately, the eldest sister and the second sister have worked hard to persuade each other." In addition to loving sleeping, Brother Yun changes three times a day, and he only cries in the middle of the night......"
Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled, Mo Shouzhen suddenly paused and lowered her voice and said to Eleven Niang, "I heard that the border between the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi is in turmoil, and some time ago it was rumored that the soldiers guarding the city at the border had a quarrel with the horse dealers of the Northern Qi Dynasty, resulting in human lives. Without the coercion of General Shu, the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi are now ready to move, and it is very likely that the two countries have reached an alliance and are testing the bottom limit of Da'an......"
"What does the third aunt mean?" Eleven Niang's expression was dignified, solemn and quiet.
Mo Shouchen served a bowl of soup for her, and his voice was lower, "The court is now divided into two parties, one side is the main battle, the other side is the main peace, and the loyal and diligent marquis mansion...... Do you guess they are the main battle or the main peace? ”
"Lord and?" Eleven Niang stared, thought for a while, and replied.
"Why?"
"It's very simple, the Zhongqin Marquis Mansion is the general of the dream of Fufeng instead of the dream of the rain, the dream of the rain does not have the talent of the general of the dream of martial arts, the martial arts are average, once the troops are sent, whether it is the emperor or the courtiers, the first thing that comes to mind must be the Su family, and the dream of the rain will not be willing to send troops against the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi, because ...... He is not as good as his eldest brother, he is not sure of winning the battle, then ......" Shi Niang raised her eyes slightly, and smiled at Mo Shouzhen, "It's better not to fight." ”
"Haha......" Mo Shouzhen laughed, "What you said also has some truth, but there is one more key ......"
"What?" Eleven Niang asked.
Mo Shouchen glanced at her and lowered his voice, "I once saw a Northern Qi man in Su Chongyao's mansion. ”
Eleven Niang's eyes widened suddenly, "The third aunt is ...... Is there a collusion between Su Fuyu and Northern Qi in private? ”
"I don't know." Mo Shouchen shook his head, "I once sent someone to follow that person quietly, and after he found out, he gently threw him off, and I haven't seen him since." ”
"If Su Fuyu really had a secret relationship with Northern Qi, then Su Fufeng's death ......" Eleven Niang and Mo Shouzhen looked at each other, and both of them seemed to have guessed something in their eyes.
Mo Shouchen was shocked in his heart, why is this girl so smart? Where did she hear about these things? If you figure it out from the information he revealed last time, then ......
This girl will be immeasurable in the future.
"Have you decided when you want to enter Beijing?"
"I'm still waiting for news from Miss Mo San."
"Okay, my people have been traveling day and night, they should be able to get to Qingshui before the end of the month, if you can catch up, you can take it, if you can't arrive, Meng Yuanlang's people, you take two of them in the dark, so as not to have branches, and there is no one available in your hands." Mo Shou earnestly instructed, and told her about several major networks in the capital, which people should hide when they see it, and they must not try to be quick and strong.
Eleven Niang wrote them down one by one, and said goodbye to Mo Shouchen and went home.
After the two left, a soft sigh came from the next room, "Xia Shiyi, I underestimated her." ”
"Young master, I'll just say that this girl's mind is different from others, glass! It's more practical than a glass bottle and can sell something for money, if we can get the recipe and dominate one side, why do we need to do those dirty things for the surname Wen! ”
"Do you think our relationship is as close as Xia Shiyi and Mo Shouchen?" The man glanced lightly at the attendant next to him who had grown up together since childhood, and smiled, his smile was very shallow and faint, "Being able to build such a big country in Jianghuai from scratch, Mo Shouzhen is even more of a character, don't forget who is standing behind him." ”
"Mo Shouchen turned out to be the brother-in-law of the eleventh girl, and this world is really small. Young master, listening to what they mean, it seems that he is very concerned about the situation between the DPRK and China, and he is particularly concerned about the Su family, which is ......"
"Mo Shouchen is the second young master of the Su family, and it is common sense to care about the affairs of the Su family, why is Xia Shiyi so interested in the Su family?" The man's eyebrows and eyes are plain, his thin lips are lightly pursed, and his smooth and fair face is full of thoughtful exploration.
"Young Master!" Someone knocked on the door and came in, "Mei An, why are you here too?" ”
Mei An glanced at him, "I want you to serve by the young master's side."
, "If you are allowed to serve by the young master's side, I am not allowed to help the young master add a pot of tea, what kind of mentality do you have?" The young master is not your alone. ”
The man smiled faintly and looked at the visitor, "Zhu Xuan, what's the matter?" ”
"The master invited the young master home, and a guest came to the door and wanted to see the young master." Zhu Xuan glared at Mei An and said to Song Yan.
Song Yan rubbed the tea cup in his hand, pecked lightly, took a moment, put it down, got up, "Go back." ”
Mei An pulled the corner of Zhuxuan's clothes behind, "Who is coming?" Do you want to see our young master by name? ”
"I won't sue you." Zhu Xuan glanced at Mei An, Mei An couldn't help but roll her eyes again, "Why did the young master choose you to stay by his side in the first place!" It's not reliable. ”
"Phew! The most unreliable thing is you, look at the business done, now it can't compare to Fanghua Pavilion. Zhu Xuan choked him, Mei An instantly withered, glanced at Song Yan who was walking in front, muttered two sentences in his mouth, and stopped talking.
"What are you talking about? I can't hear it clearly. Zhu Xuan vaguely heard Eleven Niang...... Words like delay, I couldn't help frowning slightly, looking at Mei An.
Mei An grinned, "I won't tell you." ”
"You ......" Zhu Xuan was angry, snorted, and quickly caught up with Song Yan.
Mei An stopped at the door of the restaurant and watched the two get into the carriage and walk away.
Mei An was afraid that he would never have imagined that the person from the Song family was one of the masters of the wall root that he and the young master inadvertently heard - Mo Shouchen.
"Master Mo." When Song Yan saw Mo Shouchen, he was stunned and smiled.
He was long, wearing a brown and red robe, and his waist was covered with white jade; The appearance is extraordinary, the black hair is tied up with a jade belt, the facial features are clearly contoured, the eyes have a faint smile, and the thin lips are slightly pursed. Standing there, just when the sunlight was slanting, a halo was beginning to bloom, and he was only twenty years old to be in charge of the business of the Song family, which was indeed a rare talent.
There was excitement in Mo Shouchen's eyes, and he somehow remembered the girl just now, touched his chin and thought to himself, if these two people could get together...... immediately dispelled the idea, Eleven Niang was only twelve, and Song Yan was eight years different from her, too old! Inappropriate......
"The tiger father has no dogs, I knew that the young master of the Song family was a talented person, and when I saw it today, I really showed a talent, and I gave the master a good blessing!" Mo Shouzhen smiled and nodded.
Master Song stroked his beard and smiled, "Master Mo won the award, I heard that you also got a son a few days ago, and you must be as smart as you in the future." ”
Mo Shou laughed, the three of them sat down again as the guest of honor, the maid served tea, stepped back, and left the three of them to talk.
"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I came for the first thing in the Jianghuai Eighteen Commercial Houses......" Mo Shouchen went straight to the point and said what he meant, the father and son glanced at each other, their expressions became upright and cautious, Master Song rubbed his beard, listened to Mo Shouchen finish speaking, and after a while, he said, "Let me discuss this matter with the dog, and then reply to Master Mo in the future, what does Master Mo think?" ”
"It's nature." Mo Shou smiled and got up to say goodbye, "It's not early, Mo said goodbye." ”
"Walk slowly. Someone came to send Master Mo. Master Song smiled.
When Mo Shouchen walked away, Master Song and Song Yan said, "Mo Shouchen is only in the middle of the Jianghuai Eighteen Commercial Firms, and he is not among the top three and top five, how can he come to us to talk about items?" He doesn't have much chance of winning, huh? ”
If it weren't for the glass recipe provided by Xia Shiyi, Mo Shouchen really wouldn't have a chance to win, but if he could really find the mineral deposits and develop a glass thing, then ......
Not to mention the small Jianghuai Eighteen Commercial Firms, even in the entire Daan business circle, no one wants to compete with Mo Shouchen!
Xia 11...... Summer Eleven!
Once or twice the karma is staggered, and they miss each other, is it because their fate is incompatible?
Song Yan frowned slightly, the smile of the girl and her sister with her eyes was like a flower, and a touch of amazement flashed in her eyes......
"Yan'er?" Seeing that his son's eyes were empty, Master Song called softly.
Song Yan returned to his senses, Ruyu's face returned as usual, and smiled faintly, "Dad." ”
Master Song shook his head and said with concern, "Have you been too tired lately?" I don't think you will go to the capital this time, I ......"
"Dad, I'm fine." Song Yan is not good at explaining, and his care for Master Song is in his eyes and warm in his heart, but because he has locked his heart for so many years, he doesn't know how to express it for a while, so he can only laugh stiffly.
Master Song laughed, "That's good." You go back and find someone to check Mo Shouchen's recent movements, and see what is different from his usual subordinates! Jianghuai Eighteen Commercial Banks are related to our connections in Jianghuai, and a careless move may ruin our efforts for so many years......"
"No need." Song Yan interrupted Master Song's words and said what he and Mei An accidentally heard in Zuiyue Tower, Master Song's eyes were stunned, and slowly turned into heat, "So, Mo Shouzhen now has this recipe in his hand?" ”
Song Yan nodded.
"What are the odds of success?"
"I don't know." Song Yan shook his head.
Master Song pondered for a moment and said, "Send someone to closely monitor Mo Shouchen's movements for twelve hours, if he can achieve something...... Master Song's eyes lit up, and he was about to say more, but was interrupted by Song Yan, "I don't build a rash move." ”
Master Song looked at his son, and Song Yan said, "Not to mention the possibility of this recipe, Mo Shou's net worth background alone is not to be underestimated with us!" He came to us today because we have a place to rely on him in the middle and lower ranks of the 18th Jianghuai Commercial Bank, if he knows that we have moved our minds, Dad thinks that our power in Jianghuai can withstand his suppression? ”
Master Song frowned, "What do you think?" ”
"Hold still." Song Yan's face was pale, his thin lips were pursed, and his eyes looked at the courtyard through the windy silk screen window, the leaves of the big trees in the courtyard were blown by the wind, rustling, and the sky was dark, as if there was a wind and rain coming.
……
Out of Qingshui Town to the southeast to walk eight miles, there is a Cijue Temple, starting from the slope of the mountain, it is said to be a thousand-year-old temple, regardless of asking for a son and asking for relatives are extremely effective, so that the incense is prosperous.
Luo and Shi Niang waited for half an hour in a small pavilion behind the temple, asking ten questions in a row
I asked Eleven Niang thirty-six times in a row, "Why haven't you come yet?" After that, Aunt Li came over with a richly dressed and wealthy-looking woman.
From a distance, although the woman was well-dressed, her face was very gentle, her eyes were smiling when she spoke, and the corners of her lips had never broken the arc of laughter, and she seemed to be a person who loved to laugh.
can offend his mother because of his son's relatives, and he doesn't recognize his sister, and he is also a mother who is dedicated to his children!
If the third sister marries in the past, she will have less of these troubles, and with her gentleness and understanding, she will be able to please her mother-in-law and treat her like a daughter.
Eleven Niang turned her mind and pulled Luo's clothes with a smile, "Mother, here, Aunt Li is here." ”
Luo Zhi hurriedly got up, turned his head and asked Eleven Niang, "Are your mother's clothes dirty?" Hair messy isn't it? ”
"It's not dirty, it's not messy, my mother is beautiful." Eleven Niang smiled to appease Luo, Luo sneered, and reached out to nod her daughter's forehead.
When Aunt Li and the two approached, Luo and Eleven Niang went out.
Aunt Li smiled and said, "What a coincidence, the third sister-in-law also came to incense?" ”
"The daughter in the family is older, come to ask for a good marriage for the daughters, her aunt, you also come to incense?"
"No, my two skin monkeys got married a few years later, and I came with my sister-in-law. This is my sister-in-law, my husband's surname is Sheng, and my mother's surname is Wu. Sister-in-law, this is our Xia San's sister-in-law in Jiuli Pavilion, whose maiden name is Luo. ”
"Hello sister-in-law."
"Hello Sister-in-law Xia."
Luo Shi and Aunt Li said the pre-arranged lines, Eleven Niang secretly laughed in her heart when she heard it, and overheard Luo Shi introduce herself in her ears, and hurriedly blessed the sister-in-law of the Sheng family, "Aunt Sheng." ”
Sister-in-law Sheng smiled, "It's really a sign girl, they all say that the girl is her mother's little padded jacket, and Sister-in-law Xia is blessed." ”
"What my sister-in-law said is that all the girls in my family are very caring......" Luo Shi did not humbly praise his daughter at all, Eleven Niang lowered her head and supported her forehead, Aunt Li patted her head with a smile and whispered, "Later, I have to help your third sister take a closer look." ”
Eleven Niang raised her eyebrows, with a smile on her face, but nodded very hard, "Okay." ”
It is about the happiness of the third sister's life, and she will never joke.
The three of them chatted all the way to the direction of the main hall, turned the corner, and a young man in a light blue robe stood quietly at a stone tablet, looking at his serious demeanor, pinching his sleeves and carrying a pen, as if he was imitating the scriptures on the stone tablet.
Sister-in-law Sheng smiled, "This kid doesn't forget to study wherever he goes." Zidu ......"
The young man's hand was raised, turned his head sideways, his eyes were a little dazed and he didn't know where he was, his facial features were not very handsome, with a bit of scholarly stupidity, "Mother? ”
Sister-in-law Sheng showed a little embarrassment on her face, and walked over quickly, "You kid, let you wait for us here, why did you look at the stone tablet yourself?" ”
Sheng Zidu came back to his senses, smiled slightly, a dimple on his lips, his eyes were clear, and he was blessed, "Mother, aunt." ”
Sister-in-law Sheng glared at her son, "I haven't come to see your third aunt Xia, eleventh sister." ”
Sheng Zidu bowed his head and bowed again, with a humble posture and a gentle smile, "Aunt Xia, eleventh sister." ”
"Brother Sheng." Eleven Niang returned the gift.
"Oh, yes, good boy." Luo Shi felt very satisfied at a glance, and nodded again and again and said, "Sister-in-law Sheng, you really have a good son......
Sister-in-law Sheng's eyes lit up, took Luo's hand and began to praise her son, Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang smiled and raised her eyebrows, stepped forward and stared at the inscription and said, "What a beautiful word, Brother Sheng, whose word is this?" ”
"This scripture is the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, the font is beautiful and fresh, and it has eight points like Wang Xizhi's writing, but there is something missing." Sheng Zidu lowered his eyes and glanced at the girl who was staring at the inscription seriously, and said gently.
"Oh, I'm illiterate, it's a pity." Eleven Niang hung her head in frustration, Sheng Zi was stunned, and said with a smile, "Sister Eleven is a girl, and it doesn't matter if she knows how to read or write." ”
"Really?"
Sheng Zidu smiled gently, "Really." ”
Eleven Niang snorted, turned around and winked at Aunt Li, and said to Luo Shi and Sister-in-law Sheng, "Mother, Aunt Sheng, the time is coming, let's go to the incense." ”
"Whoa."
"Okay." Luo and Sister-in-law Sheng spoke at the same time, Aunt Li was full of smiles on her face, and pulled Eleven Niang to ask in a low voice, "It's good." ”
Eleven Niang nodded, "Okay, go back and let the third sister kowtow to Aunt Li." ”
"Don't forget your aunt's matchmaker." Aunt Li laughed.
"I can't forget it."
Coming back from Cijue Temple, Aunt Li sent Sister-in-law Sheng back, Luo and Shi Niang went back to Xia's shop, and Luo and his daughter said in the car, "Although the reputation is not good, the child is a good one, but it is too far, alas, ......"
Eleven Niang smiled, "Mother, I see that the third sister is good to marry Brother Sheng." You see, their family is the same as Brother Yang's family, they are only children, and they don't have so many worries without brothers and concubines; Second, Aunt Sheng is a person with a gentle temperament at first glance, and the third sister is also such a person, and she will not be angry with her mother-in-law if she marries; Three, although Brother Sheng is a scholar, he does not have the pedantic spirit of those scholars in the town, nor does he have the calculating heart of the uncle......"
