Chapter 55: Let's Cooperate
Song Yi didn't shirk it, and said cheerfully: "Okay, I also have this intention," and then turned to Mingzhe and said: "This son, I don't know if I have time, I heard that the son is also quite good at studying paintings, why don't we find a place to talk about it?" ”
Mingzhe also talked about Xingtou, a little unsatisfied, clasped his hands together, and smiled at Song Yi: "It's disrespectful down there." ”
Qian Ning was furious when she heard this, this Mingzhe, didn't she see herself beside her? Didn't you hear what you said you were going to go? Why did Song Yi take two paintings and wipe out Mingzhe's IQ......
Qian Ning suppressed the anger in her heart, but still smiled and said, "Second son, didn't you say that you have something to discuss with me?" Why don't we get down to business first? ”
Zhang De also said: "Yue Gongzi, didn't you want to see the new jade bracelet last time?" It just so happens that Mingzhe Gongzi has just sorted out a batch, so why don't you take it to see? ”
Yue Gongzi is Mingzhe's pseudonym, Mingzhe was a little displeased when he heard it, and then looked at Zhang De, he had already made a gesture to greet him, so he had to give up. However, he still exchanged names with Song Yi for later removal.
After getting into the carriage, Qian Ning was not in a hurry to speak, just thinking about how to deal with Song Yi.
"What? Didn't Brother and Sister Zhao just say that they had important matters to discuss, why didn't they speak instead? Song Yi smiled like a fox and asked leisurely.
Qian Ning really didn't have much confidence in Song Yi's grasp of the situation, so she tried to say: "The second son has just heard what the shopkeeper said, the prince of Mingzhe will not meet because of me, the second son should have made a decision about the previous idea, right?" ”
"I do have a decision," Song Yi sat up straight, "but this decision is not different from what you think." Aren't you afraid that I would leak my mouth with Mingzhe Gongzi, so you hurriedly pulled me out of Yininglou? As he spoke, Song Yi leaned forward, "That Yue Gongzi is Mingzhe, right?" If not, you'd have already excused yourself to leave, so why wait for me to leave? ”
Song Yi's observation is also too sharp, and he can see the flaws in such a subtle place. Qian Ning felt like a lamb to the slaughter, and her every move was watched by Song Yi.
"I'm just waiting for you to go together to solve your misunderstanding. Whether that boy is a wise boy or not, how do I know. Qian Ning decided to grit her teeth and not let go.
Song Yi glanced at Qianning a few times, sat back, patted his sleeves, and said, "It's okay, you can continue to pretend, since I have a way to lure Mingzhe out today, I will definitely have the opportunity to contact him again in the future." Would you like to make a bet with me? ”
What Qian Ning is worried about is this, Song Yi can't figure out the bottom of himself, and he doesn't know what he wants to do, he is in the open and in the dark, who knows what other tricks he has? Since he had to force himself to admit his identity, then let him do as he pleased, and see what he had planned.
"That's right, I'm a young girl, but I don't know what the second son wants to get from me after spending so much effort?" Qian Ning generously admitted, waiting for Song Yi's reaction.
"Wouldn't it be nice to admit it so quickly? Green Girl. Your identity is really hidden so deeply, who would have thought that Miss Yan, a scholarly family, is indeed the manager of a newly promoted jewelry store in Beijing. Tsk tsk. Song Yi shook his head and praised.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Song Yi's triumphant appearance was so annoying that Qian Ning's good temper was a rare failure, "What is your purpose?" Why do you have to bite me to death? ”
"Young girl, don't say it so ugly," Song Yi waved his hand, "I just want to cooperate with the young girl to earn some silver taels." ”
"Jokes. You are the second son of King An's mansion, and money is not a difficult thing for you, so why do you have to cooperate with a civilian like me? Qian Ning obviously didn't believe Song Yi's words.
"If it's just daily expenses, King An's Mansion will naturally not be short of my chewing. But what I need is not so much silver. ”
Qian Ninghu looked at Song Yi suspiciously, judging the truth of these words.
Song Yi put away his smile and said, "As we all know, King An's Mansion is the grand residence of the emperor, and my father is deeply loved by the emperor and the queen mother. The elder brother is the prince's companion, he is really glorious and rich, and the future is bright. But as members of the royal family, who knows our actual suffering. The so-called companion is like a tiger. Once one day, my father and brother lose their grace, then the scenery of the palace will no longer exist, and even the shelter may be problematic. ”
"Are you too alarmist?" Qian Ning voiced her doubts, "Prince An is the queen mother's son and son, and the emperor's brother, and Princess An is also the sister of Concubine Rong in the palace." No matter how you say it, this flesh and blood family relationship is also strong. ”
Song Yi smiled bitterly: "The most worthless thing in the Heavenly Family is the flesh and blood affection." Do you know, the Great Song Dynasty wants to have good diplomatic relations with Da Chu and Nanping, and it is very likely that they will have to be close, and now in the royal family, except for Princess Longyu, there are no other women of appropriate age, and it is likely that the candidates for peace will fall on Wan'er and Ting'er......"
Qian Ning remembered what Concubine Xian said before, as well as Song Wan's pale face at that time, and had some faith in Song Yi's words: "Even so, what does it matter if I cooperate with you and me?" ”
"I want to find a way out for my family, even if the Anwang Mansion really decays in the future, I can have a place to go."
"But, if there really comes a day, won't the property of the palace be confiscated?" Qian Ning was puzzled.
"Who said my property should be kept in the king's house?" Song Yi glanced at Qian Ning disdainfully, "Naturally, there will be a suitable place to coexist." You won't bother with this. What do you think? Do you want to work with me? ”
Song Yi's follow-up arrangements Qian Ning is also not interested, just don't talk about it, and the motive for accumulating money sounds quite tenable. However, even if this is not Song Yi's real purpose, it doesn't mean much to himself, after all, now that he holds his own handle, he can't choose by himself.
"Cooperation or non-cooperation, can the second son still let me choose? You have inquired about my affairs so clearly, I'm afraid that if I don't agree, you also have a way to make me nod my head, right? Qian Ning said coldly, "It's just that I don't know why the second son has taken a fancy to the first Ninglou?" In the capital, Yininglou is just a small shop, but I'm afraid it can't meet the needs of the son, right? ”
"If I want to do business, I naturally have to have resources, and this resource really has to be done by a building. In the past few years, I have traveled a lot and discovered jade mines on the border. I bought it at that time, but my identity is not good to mine directly, and it will be different if Yininglou comes forward. Jade is still scarce in our country, and the jade tribute from neighboring countries is very valuable, if we can have our own jade, I think it is very popular in the market. ”
Song Yi was able to discover the jade mine, Qianning couldn't believe it, the master has also been committed to mining jade all these years, wanting to expand the business of Yininglou, but he has not found it, but he didn't expect that it was Song Yi, a noble son, who found it. Thinking of the gazetteer that Song Yi made full of annotations, Qianning felt that Song Yi was not simple, but she was afraid that for the so-called retreat, Song Yi had already started to make plans early. Is there going to be some change in the court? So that Song Yi had a plan so quickly? Qian Ning felt that perhaps choosing to cooperate with Song Yi was also a blessing for Yi Ninglou.
"If the second son discovers a jade mine, it will definitely be good news for Yi Ninglou, and Yi Ning Lou will naturally cooperate well with the second son for mutual benefit and win-win results."
"With the words of the young girl, I am at ease." After Song Yi finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper.
Qian Ning took it and saw that it was a map with the location of the jade mine clearly marked, roughly at the junction of the Great Song Dynasty and Nanping. That place was densely jungled, with a herd of insects and beasts, and the master had also gone to explore it, but he was accidentally bitten by poisonous insects, so he had to give up.
I didn't expect Song Yi to be able to go deep into the jungle as a gentleman, which is really unseemly.
Qian Ning's gaze at Song Yi was a little different.
"What? Did Brother and Sister Zhao have a crush on me? Song Yi laughed.
