The cargo ship had an accident, which made Gong Yunrui almost collapse, so calculated, he was equivalent to losing two batches of goods in succession, and this amount was converted into at least tens of thousands of taels.

Gong Yunrui, who has never suffered such a heavy loss, always feels that things should not develop like this, but if he wants to investigate it, he can't find the reason, what kind of situation has led to the current result?

Chen Wei approached Gong Yunrui with the contract signed with Liang Kai and asked him how to deal with this matter.

Mufang is the largest timber merchant in the end, and Jin Gong Yunrui didn't pay attention to that bit of compensation at all, but he couldn't swallow this breath.

Let Chen Wei pay Bailansi the same, and let him tell Bailansi that this business will not be done.

The renovation of the Bailan Temple is imminent, and the timber is urgently needed at that time, so he has not to beg him, and the price, I am afraid that at that time, how expensive the Bailan Temple can only bear.

Chen Wei got Gong Yunrui's permission and immediately went to Luoxia Garden with the silver.

"We said that the compensation and deposit will be returned to the Bailan Temple, the wooden workshop has suffered heavy losses this time, and it is not enough for a while, I am afraid that the Bailan Temple will have to wait, but at this time, ten days and half a month may not be said."

He was sure that Bailan Temple had no choice but to choose Mufang, so his attitude was arrogant and rude, and his eyes were full of contempt and contempt.

Liang Kai accepted the silver and asked, "What does the wooden mill mean, is it not to do business in Bailan Temple?" ”

Chen Wei thought that he was scared in his heart, and couldn't help but be proud, "If you want camphor wood and nanmu, there are ready-made fir trees, but you also know it." The wooden workshop is so large, and there are many people who place orders, so if you want to prepare the Bailan Temple at one time. The time must be delayed, if you want to be in a hurry, then the price is above-"

Liang straightened his clothes, and said indifferently: "What Steward Chen means, isn't it that Mufang doesn't do business in Bailan Temple, why beat around the bush."

You and I are both cheerful people, since the woodmill is not willing to do it. Then if I am still begging for nothing, wouldn't it be too shameless? ”

Chen Wei laughed as if he had heard a big joke. "Good stewards have backbone, but sometimes, if you are strong, you have to suffer, if Bailan Temple still wants to buy wood. Be sure to keep twice the price on hand. Otherwise, nothing will be said. ”

Liang Kai smiled and gave his hand, and gave the order to evict the guest: "Steward Chen walks slowly." ”

Chen Wei couldn't see that he was in a hurry, he was angry in his heart, flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "It's better not to regret being a good steward." After speaking, he left Luoxia Garden proudly.

Liang Zhen watched him walk away, and then he spat and muttered, "Dog, I think everyone is rare with you, this time." Lao Tzu called you to cry and call your mother. ”

*

After several days of gloomy days, it finally began to rain.

Weaving Fan hurried around the corridor with an umbrella. Finally, I came to the Orchid Pavilion and shook off the water stains and mud on my feet under the eaves, and then happily entered the house.

"Miss, there is news from Liangqi that the matter has been done."

Ling Yi said with a smile: "Early tomorrow morning, let Liang Yi go up the mountain with wood." ”

The weaving fan clapped his hands excitedly: "The maids can't wait, presumably when the time comes, their faces will look good." ”

Lu Xiaotian was walking in from outside at this time, bringing in a body of moisture.

The three people in the room all smiled, and Ori Yu hurriedly brought him a dry handkerchief and asked, "Nothing happened on the road, right?" ”

Lu Xiaotian shook his head with a smile, and didn't forget to tease her: "Sister Zhiyu prays for me, what can happen." ”

Weaving Yu glanced at him and pushed him to Ling Yi.

Lu Xiaotian wiped the water stains on his face and said, "I haven't encountered anything unpleasant along the way, but there is one thing, I believe the eldest lady should be interested." ”

Ling Yi looked at him and smiled: "If there is anything, just say it quickly, don't learn from me." ”

Lu Xiaotian smiled, raised his eyebrows and said mysteriously: "I was originally going to follow but Cheng Cheng and his group, so they were delayed on the way, but I found that in addition to me, there were people who were kind enough to help." ”

Weaving Fan blinked curiously and asked, "Anyone else?" Who is it? ”

"It's that Luoxia Yuan appeared before, I guess it should be the person next to Hou Ye, that person has quite high martial arts, and I'm not even on par, I haven't heard of such a number one person in the rivers and lakes, it should be the secret guard trained by Hou Ye himself."

Zhi Yu couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that the Hou Ye already knows about this?" ”

Gong Xiru had sent Gong Sheng to Luoxia Garden before, assuming that he thought of Bailan Temple through Gong Sheng, and then went to Bailan Temple to ask one or two, according to his intelligence, it was not difficult to guess the eldest lady's plan at all.

Zhi Yu was shocked by this idea of his own, and said in surprise: "Didn't the Hou Ye already know about this matter, and he also sent someone to help secretly!" ”

Weaving Fan also opened his mouth wide, first surprised, then delighted, crutched Weaving Feather with his elbow, and said with a smile: "It's not a matter of a day or two that Master Hou is good to our eldest lady, why make such a fuss." ”

Ori Yu also pursed his lips and smiled, indeed, it should be commonplace, what are you making a fuss about.

"You go change your clothes and rest first." Ling Yi smiled at Lu Tiandao.

Lu Xiaotian pursed his mouth: "I also said that if you continue to talk about it, someone is an impregnable wall, and he can't withstand the ravages of the wind and cold." ”

Resentful eyes looked at Oriha.

Ori Yu shook his head helplessly, pretending not to see and ignore him.

The corners of Ling Yi's mouth habitually hung a little curvature, looking at the pouring rain outside.

Weaving Yu gave the weaving fan a look, and every time the eldest lady fell into contemplation, the two would consciously retreat, because they knew that Ling Yi at this time did not like to be disturbed the most.

She pulled Lu Xiaotian and stepped back on tiptoe with the weaving fan.

The pouring rain outside the house brought Ling Yi's thoughts back to that memorable night, and she looked out the window in a daze.

In the rain, someone seemed to be standing there, silently watching her. Although she didn't know who it was, the gentle and reassuring feeling seemed to make her let go of all her defenses.

The rain didn't rain for long, it came and went quickly, one moment it was still pouring rain, the next moment it was suddenly clear, and even a faint sun appeared in the sky.

Weaving Fan stood at the door and looked at the sky, muttering, "This weather is really strange. ”

"What's so strange about it, the weather is already very changeable. What's more, it's about to be winter, and it's hard to see the sun here all winter. Ori Yu continued.

With a "creak", the door was gently pushed open from the inside, and Ling Yi changed her clothes and appeared at the door.

Weaving Fan was puzzled: "The eldest lady wants to go out?" ”

"It's sunny and I want to go out for a walk." Ling Yi said slowly.

Weaving Fan hurriedly went to call a carriage, and Ori Feather went into the house to take the cloak and oil-paper umbrella.

The carriage soon drove out of the Ling Mansion. Although the rain had stopped, there were still no people on the street, so the carriage of the Ling Mansion seemed a little abrupt.

Afraid that Ling Yi would be bored, Zhi Yu hung up the car curtain so that Ling Yi could see outside.

"Miss, where are we going?" Ling Yi didn't say where she was going, and the weaver could only let the coachman walk along the main street, but there was still a time to come to an end.

Ling Yi thought about it, where was she going? It seems-

"Let's go to Lang Tingxuan, I haven't been there for a long time, I miss it."

Weaving a fan, she liked Lang Tingxuan's food the most, of course she was happy, and she was busy asking the coachman to drive to Lang Tingxuan.

Because it is a rainy day, Lang Tingxuan is also rare and rare guests, only a few people sit on the first floor to hide from the rain to eat, and the private room on the second floor is even more empty, yes, who wants to go out on a rainy day.

It's easy to have a guest, and it's a regular customer, Xiao Er is not courteous, and he greeted Ling Yi upstairs with a smile and took her usual private room.

"What do you want to eat?"

Ling Yi thought about it for a while and ordered a few ordinary dishes.

Xiao Er quickly remembered it in his mind, and said with a smile: "The dishes ordered by the eldest lady and Master Hou are just the same." ”

Ling Yi's eyes moved slightly.

The weaving fan was pleasantly surprised: "Are you talking about the marquis of the palace?" ”

"Isn't it the little marquis of the palace family." Xiao Er said with a smile.

Weaving Fan squeezed his eyebrows at Weaving Yu, Weaving Yu understood what she meant, and asked Xiao Er to retreat first.

After there were only three people in the house, Zhi Yu tentatively said, "Miss, since Master Hou has helped us, why don't you go and make a salute to express our gratitude?" ”

Ling Yi propped her head and was speechless for a while.

Weaving Yu looked at the weaving fan, both of them were at a loss, not knowing what Ling Yi was thinking.

Gong Xiru also has his usual private room, which is next door to Ling Yi's place.

She got up suddenly, and the startled weaving fan and weaving feather also hurriedly stood up, but the knock on the door sounded at the right time.

The weaving fan was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Ling Yi sit down again, and motioned for her to open the door, she hurriedly went to open the door.

When you open the door, the first thing that catches your eye is a familiar face smiling.

The weaving fan's heart jumped slightly, his face was a little red, and he hung his head and took a step back.

Gong Sheng smiled and bowed to Ling Yi: "The little one has seen the eldest lady." ”

Ling Yi looked sideways and saw Gong Xiru standing behind him, and couldn't help but smile: "Stand outside the door and do something, come in." ”

Weaving Fan hurriedly welcomed the two into the house, then looked left and right outside the porch to make sure no one saw it, and then closed the door.

Ori closed the slightly open window to make sure she couldn't see from the outside.

Weaving Fan and Weaving Feather consciously retreated to the door.

Seeing that Gong Sheng was still smiling and staying next to Gong Xiru, the weaving fan ran over again, and dragged him to the door in a daze, glaring at him viciously.

Gong Sheng's arrogance suddenly shrugged down, and only a flattering smile remained.

Ling Yi personally poured a cup of tea for Gong Xiru and said softly, "Thank you." ”

Gong Xiru knew that she was referring to the matter of Bailan Temple.

He looked at the water streaks in the teacup, and said without thinking: "I just wanted to do that, so I did it, willingly." ”

"Huh?" Ling Yi didn't hear clearly.

Gong Xi suddenly came back to his senses, only to realize that he was dominated by emotions just now and said something like that.

He was a little uncomfortable, coughed, and said with a smile: "With a gesture, Miss Ling doesn't have to take it to heart, in this world, isn't it just you helping me and me helping you." ”

"That's right." Ling Yi smiled slightly. (To be continued......)
