Chapter 162: Find out
Liang Yi said a little impatiently: "Buddhism is important, taboo flashy, in addition to these two kinds of wood, is there a better proposal for the master?" ”
But Cheng waved his hand again and again, and said hurriedly: "No, no, it's just-"
"Inevitably, but I forgot to do it, I repeat, this renovation, even the emperor attaches great importance to it, so the construction period must not be delayed.
The day of commencement of construction is ten days later, and it is a good auspicious day that the abbot of the Yuan passed away calculated for two days.
I hope that your goods will arrive as scheduled, and you must know that if this matter is delayed, it will be the responsibility of your woodmill. In case the emperor blames him, this responsibility can only be borne by Mufang. ”
But Cheng rubbed his hands and thought, the timber is transported by water, the river is traveling, the river is calm and there is almost no capsizing, but if you want to transport so much timber back in ten days, the time is obviously not in time.
Then you can only go to the small river, and the time can be shortened by half, but the small river is difficult to travel, there are many winds and waves, and there are often boats in the small river.
Is it Xiao Jiang or Big Jiang?!
Liang Qi patted the ash on his hand, "But the person in charge thinks slowly, but time waits for no one, please don't think too long-"
He took out a stack of silver tickets and a contract: "There is a deposit of four hundred taels here, and the rest will be paid when Bailansi receives the goods. ”
But the wrinkles on his face are tangled, whether to sign or not, if he doesn't sign, this business will not be done, and it is not good to explain to the young owner, but if he signs, he can't guarantee that he will come back on time.
Liang Ji seemed to see his hesitation, thought for a while, and said, "That's not as good as this." Although the start of construction is ten days later, the workers have to lay the floor tiles first, and the wood will take a little longer. What do you think of the fact that I will consult with the abbot and give you two more days? ”
But Cheng Yixi couldn't help but grab Liangxi's arm and said, "Is it really possible?" If you can grace it for two days, then there must be no problem. ”
At this time, he had already made up his mind to go to Xiaojiang.
"But since the person in charge has promised it personally, there will definitely be no problem, I believe in the person in charge. It's just that the abbot of Yuanyuan still needs a written commitment, and he also asks the head to sign. Liang handed the contract to Dan Cheng.
But Cheng watched it from beginning to end. There was no problem, and he exclaimed: "I can understand why the abbot of Yuan Death wants to find a good steward to help, and this contract is written without leakage." Impressive. As he spoke, he signed and drew his handprint on the last page.
In duplicate. Liang Kai took one copy for himself, and gave the other to Dancheng.
"According to the contract, if we don't receive the goods after 12 days, then the wooden mill will not only return the deposit, but also compensate 1,000 taels to Bailan Temple."
But Cheng was a little entangled in his heart, but he signed all the words, and he could only tell himself that there would be no problems, as long as he found the best sailing master. Be careful along the way, you will definitely be able to come back on the 12th.
"Then I'll go first." Liang said goodbye but succeeded. I took the contract back to Xia Yuan.
He told him not to ask how the process was, as long as he could see the goods after ten days, so he didn't ask him how he did it.
Liang Kai just walked on the front foot, but Cheng immediately went to the palace to see Gong Yunrui and reported the matter to the latter.
"Second young master, the little ones really didn't expect them to change the wood this year, the wood we ordered in advance is already on the way here, and we can't send it back, so we can only transport it first."
Gong Yunrui frowned and asked, "You said that the person invited by Bailan Temple is the steward of Luoxia Garden?" ”
But Cheng nodded and said: "Exactly, that widow is very active in these things, she was sealed because she donated four hundred acres of land before, and now she sent her own people to Bailan Temple to help, and this good man is not easy to fool." ”
"In ten days, the timber will be brought back?" Gong Yunrui asked in a deep voice.
But Cheng was embarrassed, "It is difficult to go to Xiaojiang for ten days, but Liang Kai said that we will be given two days, after all, the emperor cares about this matter, and the small one does not dare to delay, if the emperor blames it, it will be the small one who discredits the palace family." ”
Gong Yunrui couldn't help but say angrily: "What about that batch of fir and camphor wood? With so many quantities, should it be left to decay? ”
But Cheng said in a panic: "The small one will find a way to sell that batch of goods, and at present, the batch of camphor wood and nanmu will be delivered on time." ”
Gong Yunrui was annoyed in his heart, but there was no way to do it, after all, he said that he would ship the goods in advance, and according to the habits of Bailan Temple for many years, he didn't have to worry about these problems now, why didn't he send someone to ask?
Annoyance is chagrin, but Gong Yunrui has another thing in his heart.
He sent Dan Cheng to retreat first, and he changed his clothes and went out.
The destination is Luoxia Garden.
However, he said that Liang Kai returned to Luoxia Garden, and when he saw Ling Yizheng, he told him about the matter, and finally handed over the contract to the latter.
"The eldest lady came over at this time, is there anything wrong?"
At this time, it was almost dark, and Liang Yi thought that Ling Yi had something important to tell him personally.
Ling Yi put the contract away and instructed him: "Let people prepare tea, if there is no accident, there should be guests tonight." ”
Got guests? And who are the guests? Liang Yi was very curious in his heart, last time Ling Yi said that a guest was coming, but it turned out that it was the people in the palace who came, could it be that this time, what kind of big man is it?
"Just go ahead and get ready." Ling Yi urged him with a smile.
Liang Qi hurriedly ordered someone to prepare tea.
As soon as he was ready, there was a notification outside the door, saying that the second young master of the palace family had arrived.
Liang Yi was taken aback, he didn't expect it to be Gong Yunrui, and he didn't know whether to open the door for a while, and he didn't know whether to let Ling Yi see it.
"Go open the door, what are you doing in a daze?" Ling Yi deliberately lowered her voice, it sounded like there was no crispness of a girl, but the maturity of a young woman.
Only then did Liang Jian know that she had been prepared for a long time, so he went to open the door with peace of mind, "The little one has seen the second young master of the palace." ”
Gong Yunrui stood at the door and didn't go in, but asked, "Is your master here?" ”
Liang Kai said respectfully: "The master is here, but the master has always avoided suspicion, and it is late at this hour, I don't know what happened to the second young master coming to my master?" ”
Gong Yunrui said secretly in his heart. Sure enough, Dan Cheng is right, this good guy is not a small person at all. Just because the latter dared not let him in when he saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, he could still be called courageous.
Man Jiangyan said that there are masters in Luoxia Yuan who are not even her opponents.
Gong Yunrui came over today, first, to explore the bottom of this Tsuji Niang, and secondly, to confirm the relationship between Luoxia Garden and Bailan Temple.
Yuan Death is not a stupid person, if it is not someone he knows, how can he easily agree to Liang Yi to help him do such an important thing. Obviously someone who knows each other, someone who trusts.
"I have been looking up to the name of the Anren for a long time, and I came to visit today. I came in a hurry and lost my manners, and I asked people not to be surprised. Gong Yunrui said loudly.
Liang Yi looked into the courtyard, and bowed his head again: "Second young master, please wait for a while, the little one will come in and report." ”
Actually, he does this. It's just on purpose. After all, such a reaction is normal. If Gong Yunrui was welcomed into the door as soon as he came up, I am afraid that the latter's mind would have guessed that Ling Yi had been waiting for him for a long time.
Gong Yunrui was invited into the living room, and Ling Yi sat opposite him dignifiedly.
In fact, she was not worried about being seen by Gong Yunrui, not to mention the veil on her face, Lu Xiaotian also deliberately changed her clothes, and the clothes were twice as thick as usual, and the soles of her shoes were padded with thick linen. Whether it is in terms of body shape, voice or appearance, they are like two people with Ling Yi.
Gong Yunrui didn't recognize her. But she could clearly know what the latter was thinking, and she could even conclude that Gong Yunrui, who got the news from Dan Cheng, would definitely come to visit her.
"This is the first time I've sat at the same table with Anren, and it's abrupt." In front of strangers, especially women, Gong Yunrui is very good at disguise, and at first glance, polite conversation and gentle smile make it difficult for people to resist.
Ling Yi chuckled and said, "If the second young master doesn't dislike it, just call me Tsuji Niang, but I don't pay attention to this Anren." ”
Gong Yunrui said with a smile: "Since it is sealed by the emperor, others don't want to come, Tsuji Niang is really as uninterested in fame and fortune as outsiders say." ”
"I'm just a widow, what does fame and fortune do with me?"
"That's right." Gong Yunrui smiled apologetically: "I came so late, I actually heard that Tsuji Niang's steward was in charge of the purchase of Bailan Temple, and some things are still unclear, and I am afraid that I will delay the business, so I came to ask." ”
Ling Yi was surprised: "This kind of thing, the second young master can just send someone over and ask, why bother to come over in person." ”
"I'm afraid that the next person can't ask clearly, and I don't feel at ease."
Ling Yiran nodded: "I didn't expect that the second young master was still such a responsible person, not like an ordinary son-in-law, and he wouldn't know anything." ”
Gong Yunrui modestly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing", and asked: "I heard from the next person, Bailan Temple is going to abandon fir wood this time, and use camphor wood and nanmu for the main purpose?" ”
"It does." Ling Yi nodded.
Gong Yunrui sighed: "It's all my fault that I'm too anxious, I guess Tsuji Niang already knows that I have already transported a batch of wood according to what Bailan Temple needed before, and now I suddenly say that I want to change the wood, I am really at a loss."
Since Tsuji Niang is acquainted with the abbot of Yuanji, I wonder if you can help me ask, can you still come according to the plan of previous years? ”
Ling Yi was puzzled: "I am not familiar with the abbot, but considering that this renovation is beneficial to the people, I asked Liangqi to help." It just so happened that he still had some intelligence, and he was able to reuse it after solving the abbot's worries.
As for Bailan Temple, I don't care about this, I'm just a woman, where do you understand. ”
Gong Xiru said with a smile: "Tsuji Niang is humble, you are the elder of the Eight Sound Kingdom, and you are the emperor's personal Anren, if you can do this, you must have wisdom beyond the reach of ordinary people." ”
"False praise." The corners of Ling Yi's eyes were all modest smiles, and he couldn't see the slightest perfunctory and false meaning, it seemed that it was really like that, it seemed that Liang Yi was just favored by Yuan Li.
Gong Yunrui saw that he couldn't ask anything more, so he could only get up and say goodbye.
"Liangxiao, send the second young master." Ling Yi commanded softly.
Liang Qi said, respectfully led Gong Yunrui out.
Walking to the door, Gong Yunrui suddenly turned around and asked, "Tsuji Niang and Miss Lingfu are really a little similar, if you meet, you should be able to become close friends." ”
Ling Yihu laughed: "I don't know if I know each other, but I offended Miss Ling, and I was thinking about when I would have to come to apologize." ”
Gong Yunrui smiled slightly, arched his hand, and left with Liangxiao.
After walking out of Luoxia Garden, he asked, "Can you detect anyone?" ”
A figure flashed out of the darkness, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The subordinates have not found any aura worth caring about. ”
Gong Yunrui was puzzled for a moment, and then glanced at Luoxia Garden, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something that shrouded Luoxia Garden, making him unable to understand it. (To be continued......)
