Compared with Song Wan, the courtyard where Song Ting lives is not very large, and the simple furnishings in the hall seem a little empty. Thinking of Princess An's residence before, this courtyard is shabby and does not look like a prince living in a palace.

"What's wrong? Do my younger siblings think I'm too cold here? Xu was surprised by Qian Ning, and Song Yi said self-deprecatingly.

was pointed out what she was thinking, Qian Ning was a little surprised: "Where is the matter?" The layout of this courtyard is like the mind of the child, wide and bright, which makes people shine. ”

Song Yi laughed after hearing this: "It's the first time I've heard someone praise it like this." Brother and sister, that's a very interesting description......

There was something in what she said, and she didn't know what it meant, Qian Ning didn't talk, smiled and asked, "I don't know what the second son wants me to help?" ”

Song Yi took out a small box, opened it and pushed it in front of Qian Ning: "I don't know if my brother and sister still have an impression of this jade pendant?" ”

Qian Ning picked it up and looked at it carefully, wasn't it the jade pendant that Mrs. Lan used to frame Ren Ning?

"This jade pendant belongs to Madame Lan, right?" Qian Ning asked tentatively.

Song Yi nodded: "You remember well, it's my aunt's." As he spoke, he picked up the jade pendant from Qian Ning's hand, shook it and said: "This jade pendant is a royal gift, and it is extremely rare, my aunt is so stupid that she took it as a pawn, and the elders in the clan want to talk about this jade pendant, and Mrs. Lan hurriedly came to my mother to ask for advice." Mother pushed this job to me again. So I had no choice but to ask my younger siblings for help. ”

I see, Qian Ning took a closer look at the jade pendant, the whole jade that was originally transparent and round, the carving and polishing were also very good, and it was a top grade at first glance, but it was a pity that there were some bumps in the corners and corners, which was really flawed.

"I don't know how the second son wants to repair the jade pendant?" Jade is one, but it is not easy to repair it.

"I don't know what to do, so I want to ask the young girl's opinion." Song Yi seemed to be going to inspect Qianning, put the jade pendant in front of Qianning, and waited for Qianning's answer.

Qian Ning looked at the jade pendant, and suddenly had an idea: "Why don't you put a gold border on the edge of the jade pendant?" It is not only retouched, but also can cover up imperfections. What do you think, second son? ”

Song Yi thought for a while and praised: "Not bad, yes, it really deserves to be the steward of a Ninglou, and he can say a good way with one mouth." Okay, just do as you say. ”

Qian Ning put the jade pendant back in the brocade box: "Although I mentioned this method, this jade pendant still has to be handed over to Yininglou by the son." ”

Song Yi took back the jade pendant: "I naturally know this." You should keep your identity. Putting away the jade pendant, Song Yi turned to ask again: "How is the jade mining going?" ”

"I was just about to tell you about it." Qian Ning Zhengse said, and then talked about the jade mining one by one.

Song Yi heard that the mining was going well, and he was also happy: "In this way, our cooperation is very smooth." ”

"Yes, if it goes well, I think the second son will be able to share the dividends next year."

"It's still a young girl, the border land of Nanping is wild, and it's the most difficult to deal with, the people in Yininglou can mine so quickly, and there are a lot of people in the building."

In the face of Song Yi's praise, Qian Ning said modestly: "The second son has won the award, and the establishment of Yininglou is not long. ”

"Capable people are not considered strangers, but they are just domestic servants. The palace can't support the government soldiers, and the domestic servants just stay in the palace. ”

Hmph, this is not convincing at all, since you can think of making money and leaving a way out, don't you have a confidant to keep it safe? I think it's kept in secret and unknown. I guess it's better than those people in the building.

Suddenly, Qianning thought of a solution to Mingzhe's travel.

"Second son, if you want to help, I also have something I want to ask you to help." Qian Ning said with a smile.

Song Yi looked at Qianning's smiling face, and sighed in her heart, what could it be that this girl suddenly became so gentle? He asked, "Oh, is there anything I can do to help?" ”

"Actually, it should be said that there are two things...... Qian Ning was a little embarrassed, but she really had to turn to Song Yi for help for this problem that needed to be solved urgently, "This first one is to borrow the servants of your mansion." Because Mingzhe was going to Jingdezhen to learn pottery, and the people in the building were all sent to Nanping, he thought about asking the second son to send some people to help escort Mingzhe to Jingdezhen. ”

Song Yi raised his eyebrows and said briskly: "What's so difficult about this, I wanted to thank Gongzi Mingzhe for the last birthday gift, and since Gongzi is going to travel, he should send someone to help." ”

I didn't expect Song Yi to agree so easily, Qian Ning was a little surprised: "Then thank you to the second son, there is one more thing, it may be more troublesome......"

"Oh, what is it that can make a young girl feel worried? I'm listening. Song Yi put on a look of listening carefully.

"This matter has something to do with my grandfather's family. The Zhang family has always been responsible for the tribute of clothing in the palace, and there has been no fault for many years, but not long ago, the clothing was deducted by the garment bureau, saying that there was a problem, but it was not clear why. The rented family was very anxious, but because there was no acquaintance in the palace, there was nothing to do. I thought that the second son walked around the palace a lot, so I thought that the young son would help inquire. ”

Song Yi pondered for a moment before he replied: "The clothes paid by the Zhang family are also well-known in the palace. I haven't heard of anything unusual before. Wasn't he cheated? ”

"I don't know, I'm suspicious. But the Zhang family has been in decline in the past few years, and they have always adhered to the cautious act, so it stands to reason that they shouldn't mess with anyone......"

"That's not necessarily," Song Yi shook his head and said, "The competition for imperial merchants is already fierce, your grandfather acted upright back then, and his reputation in the palace was very average, if it weren't for the good clothes that were indeed tributed, I am afraid that he would have been robbed of the imperial merchant qualification because of the Xue family's affairs." ”

"Then you mean, the old man did it?" Qian Ning analyzed.

"Not necessarily, I'm just guessing. I'll help you find out. ”

Qian Ning really didn't expect it to go so smoothly today, and she had eyebrows on both things, and couldn't help but rejoice: "That's really thankful, the second son's help, Yininglou and the Zhang family will definitely remember it in the future." ”

Song Yi waved his hand: "Xie doesn't need to mention it, I also think that since we are cooperating, we should help each other." Otherwise, if something happens to Yininglou and the Zhang family, I won't have to make any money......"

It turned out to be for money, no wonder it was so refreshing. Qian Ning had just had a good impression of Song Yi, but because of this remark, it was lowered a lot.

After several things were successfully discussed, Qianning didn't stay longer and got up to leave.

Song Yi sent her to the gate of the courtyard before turning back.

Jiang Dong was a little puzzled: "Childe, we have minerals in our hands, which one can't we find to cooperate, why do we have to build a building?" It was originally an emerging small shop, the strength is not strong, and the Zhang family behind it is now difficult to protect itself, aren't we looking for a burden for ourselves? ”

Song Yi knocked Jiang Dong's head with a fan: "You don't understand this." Are we short of money right now? There is no shortage, but it is a livelihood to make a living for the future retreat, if you find a big store and a big business, it will inevitably make a big splash, but the impact is not good. ”

"That's why Childe specifically found a Ninglou? First, can you keep a low profile, and second, you can control it? Jiang Dong seemed to understand Song Yi's intentions.

Song Yi turned around and walked back into the courtyard, and only said lightly: "It's rare that you have opened up your brain, just take it as you said." ”

If Qianning wants to go back, she naturally has to say goodbye to Song Wan.

Song Wan, Song Ting and Long Yu were still discussing the preparations for the snow banquet, and when they heard that Qianning was going back, Song Wan took Qianning's hand and said reluctantly: "I wanted to have a good talk with my sister-in-law, but I didn't expect to be robbed by the second brother." When we get back to the snow feast, let's have a good chat. ”

Qian Ning nodded and said: "The coming day is long, since we are friends, we must come and go often, don't dislike me when the time comes." ”

"How can that be......" Song Wan smiled.

"Hmph," Long Yu said suddenly, "Grandma Zhao is so capable, she has a hot fight with King An's Mansion so quickly." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Qianning, but even Song Wan was a little embarrassed: "Princess, King An's Mansion and Yonglie Hou's Mansion are world friends, and Grandma Zhao, as the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Hou Mansion, is naturally the guest of our palace." ”

Long Yu showed a look of disdain: "Your Anwangfu is also strange, a few days ago, it was very high, and I didn't come out to socialize over the years, this time it's good, I will enjoy the snow banquet for a while, but I want to call everyone in the capital?" It's a bit of a ** share. After saying that, he walked out without saying hello.

Song Ting hurriedly chased after him. Leaving Qian Ning and Song Wan alone in the hall.

Song Wan said embarrassedly: "The princess has always been willful and reckless, and her sister-in-law has been wronged. ”

Qian Ning really didn't like Long Yu's words, but it is undeniable that what Long Yu said in the end made sense, and the excitement of King An's Mansion in the past few days was a little abnormal.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, but he still said a few polite words to Song Wan, and then went home.
