044 Ning's Family?
87_87886After returning to the main hall, he was fine, and everyone left the palace one after another until the palace banquet was over.
When Xue Rou and Rong Jing first arrived in front of the palace gate, Rong Jing turned around and returned to the palace under the pretext of being in a hurry, secretly driving the carriage, and Xue Rou stood not far from the carriage and looked at the direction of the inner palace.
When the second prince, the third prince and the fifth prince came out together, they saw Xue Rou, who was dressed in white and had a dusty temperament, and all three of them walked over.
"Ning Gongzi is so good-looking, I don't know if we have met somewhere?" Huo Jingyun was the first to ask.
Xue Rou looked at him and said with a light smile: "The fifth prince is afraid that he has recognized the wrong person, Ning Mou only came to Beijing three days ago, and he has not had time to intersect with the nobles in Beijing." β
Huo Jingyun frowned in disbelief, but Huo Jingchen didn't delve into it after hearing this, the appearance and temperament of this Ning Ziqing in front of him was so good, if he really saw it, it would never be possible for anyone to forget it, and now looking at him with a good face is probably because his gentle temperament makes people comfortable, so he looked at the fifth old man next to him and said with a smile: "The relationship between Ning Gongzi and Thirteen is very good?" β
"The third prince smiled, Ning and the thirteenth prince just have some friendship, and they are not very good."
Some friendships?
Huo Jingchen didn't believe it, that Rong Thirteen had a strange temperament and never liked to let people get close, but Fang Cai was so intimate with Ning Ziqing, if he didn't know that Rong Thirteen was fine, I am afraid that he would be the same as everyone else, thinking that Rong Thirteen had a habit of breaking his sleeves, and this kind of intersection is not just as simple as some friendship.
Thinking of the news from the territory of Southern Chu, saying that the Chu Emperor's condition is getting worse and worse, but this Ning Ziqing appeared at this time, could it be that he was sent from Southern Chu?
Thinking of this, Huo Jingchen couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Ning Gongzi didn't know what happened when he came to Beijing this time?" β
Xue Rou smiled coldly, "Ning often hears that the Great Zhou Shengjing is prosperous, and this time it happened that the family's business needed it, so I stopped by to take a look at Beijing." β
"Ning Gongzi's family is a merchant family?"
Xue Rou nodded, "My ancestors have been merchants for a living, and when it comes to my generation, they naturally want to take over the family's business." β
"I don't know what kind of business Ning Gongzi's family is doing?"
Xue Rou smiled lightly, "It's just some rice and grain business." β
Huo Jingchen's heart moved when he heard this, the rice and grain business is surnamed Ning, could it be ...... He looked up at Xue Rou in disbelief and said, "Are you from the Ning Clan?" β
Xue Rou smiled and didn't speak, neither admitting nor denying it.
However, it was her vague attitude that made Huo Jingchen subconsciously feel that his guess just now was right.
The second prince, Huo Jingrui, trembled with his lowered eyebrows, and instantly stood alone as if he didn't take it to heart.
And Huo Jingyun, who had never spoken out on the side, was shocked and said, "Are you really the Ning family?" β
It's not that he made a fuss, but the name of the Ning family firm is too big.
On the surface, the Ning family made a living by dealing in rice and grain, but secretly it was in the business of reselling materials from various countries, such as the war horses of Beirong, the bronze iron ore of Southern Chu, the tea and silk of the Great Zhou, and some medicinal materials and specialties of remote tribes.
Over the years, Ning's Firmhouse has been unknown, and even many people don't know that there is such a firm, until two years ago, the Burning Moon Country, which was handed over from the North and Beirong, bought a batch of materials from Ning's Firm, but killed their person in charge when the people from Ning's Firm's sent the materials over, and also withheld all the materials, Ning's Firmhouse was silent for three days after knowing the news, and three days later, Ning's Firmhouse issued a kill order.
Anyone who kills the royal family of the Burning Moon Country can receive 100 gold, and whoever kills the prince can receive 10000 gold, and if he can kill the emperor, 100,000 gold will be given.
As soon as the news came out, people from all over the world flocked to the country, in less than ten days, the royal family of the Burning Moon Kingdom suffered countless casualties, and the prince fell three people one after another, and even the emperor was stabbed, and he did not dare to leave half a step in the palace, but the Ning firm seemed to care about money at all, as long as someone brought someone forward, they would pay the bill, and they would send out tens of thousands of gold in just ten days, but the Ning firm did not even blink an eyebrow.
In the end, the stalemate lasted for a month, and the Beirong army took the opportunity to press the border and almost wiped out the Burning Moon Kingdom, and the royal family of the Burning Moon Country had to admit it.
Not only did he return ten times the materials that were withheld at the beginning, but he also paid another three million taels of silver, almost emptying the treasury of the Burning Moon Country, and this matter was over.
And after this battle, Ning's firm shocked the world, with a district of merchants, it can actually defeat a country, although it is only a small border country, but this is enough to shock the world.
Since then, Ning's firm has also become the most special business, big countries do not want to offend and cause trouble, and small countries dare not make times, Ning's firm has become the most peculiar status today, even if it is smuggling strategic materials in the three countries, but the Ning family is still the royal guests of various countries wherever they go.
The royal families of all countries want to win over the Ning family, but unfortunately, over the years, no one in the Ning family has shown up in the outside world, and no one knows who is behind the Ning family's firm.
The third prince and the fifth prince never thought that Ning Ziqing in front of them would actually be the Ning family.
The two of them instantly moved their minds, if they could win over Ning Ziqing in front of them, even if it was just to let him stand on their side, if they wanted to compete for the throne in the future, wouldn't it be more likely to win.
The two of them just wanted to talk, but they didn't want Rong Jing's cool voice to suddenly float behind them.
"What are the three princes talking to Ziqing, so that this prince will also listen to it and be happy?"
Huo Jingchen suddenly turned around, and saw Rong Jing standing behind him with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, with a cold look in his eyes, he shrunk his eyes quite fearfully, "Thirteen, we just saw you leave before we chatted casually with Ning Gongzi." β
"Yes, since the thirteenth prince has returned, the third brother and I will leave first." Huo Jingyun also hurriedly said, after he stood up, he didn't forget to say to Xue Rou with a little flattery: "Young Master Ning, the next time you have the opportunity to come to my mansion as a guest, this prince will definitely sweep the couch to greet you." β
The third prince, Huo Jingchen, also hurriedly expressed his attitude, and his attitude was not worse than that of the fifth prince, "If Prince Ning is interested, the Third Prince's Mansion will definitely welcome it." β
Xue Rou nodded casually, didn't say to go or go, Huo Jingchen and Huo Jingyun left in Rong Jing's gaze, but the second prince Huo Jingrui just nodded towards Xue Rou with a faint face and didn't say anything.
Xue Rou looked at Huo Jingrui's back and her expression moved slightly, something flashed in her heart, but the next moment she was pulled into the carriage by Rong Jing.
Rong Jing leaned on her side and asked curiously, "What did you say to the three of them, why did my son look at Huo Jingchen and Huo Jingyun, and their hearts were about to fly?" β
"I didn't say anything, I just told them, my surname is Ning, and my family is in the rice and grain business." The corners of Xue Rou's mouth lifted slightly.
Rong Jing was stunned for a moment, and the next second she looked at Xue Rou with wide eyes and a strange face, "Rourou, you won't sue SΓΉ Bengongzi, those two fools just believe it, right?!" βγ
