Chapter 69: Using Jade as a Stepping Stone
Qian Ning, who was sitting in the front row, didn't know the consensus that Liu secretly reached with Mrs. Chen, so she still ate snacks, watched the play, and laughed with Song Wan from time to time, which was very comfortable. It's just that this comfort falls in the eyes of others, but there are other explanations.
This Lu Qianning, who is still in charge of such a shop in Yininglou, has no consciousness at all, and finally took advantage of the opportunity that her mother wanted to give Wan'er and Ting'er to look at each other, and invited the Hou Mansion to come, but she didn't know to take the opportunity to report the progress of cooperative mining with herself, it was really dull.
Song Yi looked at Qian Ning and was a little impatient, snapped his fingers and called Jiang Dong over, and whispered in his ear. Jiang Dong got the order and immediately retired.
"What? After calling these people over, what tricks are you going to play? Song Rongmo held his wrench, glanced at Song Yi, and said coldly.
Song Rong and Song Yi sat on the two seats in the middle, separated from the son-in-law next to them by a distance of a coffee table, as long as they didn't speak loudly, the people next to them couldn't hear clearly.
"How so?" Song Yi leaned towards Song Rong slightly and lowered his voice, "This is related to the happiness of the two younger sisters, maybe there will be a princess from among them, how can I escape halfway." ”
Although Song Rong and Song Yi are brothers, they have a small discord, Xu is there is a big gap between the two personalities, Song Rong has an indifferent personality and is extremely orthodox, and Song Yi is a young son, so he has a little more connivance and favor from the princess and princess, and he can't help but be a little embarrassed, and he is the most headache for Zhi Ze and the like. The Tao is different, and the two brothers are together, and they will choke after saying a few words.
Regarding Song Yi's words, Song Rong disagreed: "It's okay to say that the family affairs of the two younger sisters are so easy to decide, I am afraid that the position of the princess will not be empty for so long." ”
Song Rong is already a person who is almost ten years old, if he took care of other people's families, not only would he have gotten married, but he was afraid that he would have children. But Song Rong is the hot prince of Anwangfu, and the princess is naturally cautious, not to mention that the saint in the palace has long revealed the intention of wanting to be an old man, but he has not had a will for a long time, so who dares to send his daughter to discuss marriage?
However, Song Yi is only the youngest son of the prince, and he will not inherit the title, but he is noble, and compared with the unattainable Song Rong, Song Yi has won the favor of the ladies. However, Song Yi has always been picky, whether it is the prince and princess, or the concubine in the palace, he doesn't look down on it, and it has come to this point.
Song Yi smiled, leaned forward and shrank back: "I'm afraid that it's not the saint who wants to meddle in your family affairs, and the one in the East Palace also wants to stretch out a hand, right?" ”
Song Rong, as the prince's companion, is a sure **, although the prince has a good name, but the saint is in good health, it is the prime of life, and the adult son is not the only prince, so the prince's position is not unbreakable. Therefore, it is inevitable to form a party for personal gain, and even Song Rong, a companion, is also planning to go on, thinking of seeking another help through Song Rong's family affairs.
This point, even Song Yi, who is insensitive to the government and is not interested in the court, can think of it, I really don't know how my brother, who is smart and precocious, can be tendoned to the end?
Song Rong was not moved by his younger brother's sarcasm, and his face was still cold: "I ask myself to be worthy of the prince, presumably the prince really wants to be the master for me, and he must be the right person." ”
Song Yi just hated Song Rong's stubborn appearance, and nothing seemed to be able to destroy the image of the prince, as if the family was not as good as the prince to him. Hiding the anger in his heart, Song Yi also smiled on his face: "The eldest brother has been by the prince's side for many years, but I didn't expect that I was still defenseless against the dumping in the palace, but it seems that I am too much to be a younger brother." After speaking, Song Yi stood up and walked to the back of the flower hall.
Song Rong did not have the slightest emotional fluctuations because of Song Yi's departure, his face was faint, and he continued to watch the play.
The little guy next to him leaned down: "Shizi, the second young master seems to be a little unhappy......"
"Let him go. There are some things that he still knows less. Song Rong didn't squint, but said softly.
The little guy nodded, and stepped back to stand behind Song Rong.
After Song Yi left the table, he did not go back to his courtyard, but turned around and entered the small ear room next to the flower hall. As soon as Pu entered the door, he saw Qian Ning standing by the window vividly, a ray of sunlight hitting her face, but it was in a trance Song Yi's eyes.
"What's wrong? Didn't the second son send me a letter to come here? Why are you still surprised? Song Yi looked stunned, which provoked Qianning to be sarcastic.
Song Yi was in a trance for a while, and when he heard Qian Ning's words, he came back to his senses: "My younger brother and sister look like immortals, so I lost my mind." ”
Song Yi, a gentleman, looked like a decent man and a gentleman, and his mouth leaked. Where did Qianning tolerate him to laugh like this, and replied directly: "Thank you for the compliment, and please ask the second son to say something directly, if it takes a long time to come out, it will be difficult for me to explain it when I go back." ”
Knowing that it was not easy to meet, Song Yi didn't talk nonsense, found a chair and sat down to cut directly to the topic: "After the queen mother's birthday in the palace, you must have heard of the merchants who are going to pay tribute to jewelry, clothes, etc." ”
Qian Ning nodded: "Yi Ninglou also attaches great importance to this selection, but Jinfeng Building, Yude Building and other big stores also have to participate in the election, but I am afraid that the opponent is strong and it is not easy to win." What's the matter, what news does the second son have? ”
"I don't have any special information to reveal, I just think that it would be great if I could take the opportunity to bring jade jewelry into the palace."
Qian Ning somewhat understood Song Yi's intentions: "The second prince is thinking of making the matter of our jade mine in hand clear?" ”
Although this Lu Qianning feels sluggish in other aspects, he is very good at business, Song Yi praised: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the steward of Yininglou, and my younger brother and sister really know my heart very well." Jade mines are extremely scarce in my Song Kingdom, if others know that we have such a resource, I am afraid of attracting people who are red-eyed, if this election can show our jade products in the palace, the nobles in the palace must be very interested, so that you can get to know some backers, and then do jade business in the future, it will be smooth sailing. ”
I didn't expect Song Yi to be so thoughtful about business matters, Qian Ning couldn't help but look at him with admiration: "The second son is very thoughtful, but we don't have a long time to mine ore, so I'm afraid that we won't be able to run in time." ”
"This is not in the way, we are not going to produce in large quantities, just send in some exquisite ones for the nobles to choose, just use a little ore, and besides, if a large amount of jade gushes out all of a sudden, I am afraid that the price will not be maintained, or step by step, let people slowly transition from rare to expensive."
If Fang Cai Qianning just thinks that Song Yi has the mind and vision to do business, then now he feels that he is an old and cunning fox: "According to what Gongzi said, the supply of jade in the future will not be carried out according to the amount of mining?" ”
"Of course, this amount can't be less than before, but it can't be too much, and if you grasp the quantity, you can also grasp the price."
Qian Ning finally saw through Song Yi's profiteer nature: "The second son is used to controlling everything in his hands like this? ”
Song Yi was a little proud: "This, you can see it." ”
is really proud and obedient, Qian Ning stuck out her tongue in her heart: "But there is one thing, I'm afraid it's not exactly what the second son intended." ”
Song Yi raised his eyebrows, obviously disagreeing with Qianning's words: "How can you say this?" ”
"The second son is trying to seek good relatives for Wan'er and Ting'er, and he specially held such a banquet to see each other's relatives, and so many young talents came, but it's a pity that the girls from these families were also invited, aren't you afraid that the last sons will fall in love with these girls?"
"Hahaha," Song Yi didn't expect Qian Ning to say this, and couldn't help laughing, "If these sons only saw these girls, they didn't take a fancy to my sisters, and those sons were not worth entrusting for life." ”
It turned out to be this idea, and Song Yi was really interested in his sister.
Before Qianning could say the praise, Song Yi said again: "Besides, if you don't invite these girls to come, how can you fish in troubled waters and call your family too?" ”
Qian Ning was completely speechless in her heart this time, it turned out that she had this idea, Song Yi really hid it so deeply......
