The elegant sitting on the third floor of Fuxian Pavilion, the two palace lamps emit a dim light.

Zhen Niang sat on the spring bench on the side with her eyes and nose and heart. On the main seat, Concubine Li Guifei sat upright, sipping fragrant tea elegantly.

At this time, no one could see from Li Guifei that she was the daughter of a craftsman.

Zhen Niang didn't think about anything at this time, just sat quietly. And Concubine Li Guifei couldn't help but look at her, she had heard of Li Zhenniang's name more than once.

It is taboo for women to do business, but this Li Zhenniang not only did business, but also almost controlled Li's Mozhuang, and was able to get the recognition of the entire Hui merchants.

And what makes Li Guifei feel even more rare is Li Zhenniang's calmness, since she came in and sat down until now, Li Zhenniang just sat quietly, waiting for her to speak, without any doubt or uneasiness.

Frank and swaying.

Sure enough, she is a woman who can withstand a big scene, so Li Guifei suddenly has confidence in Doumo a few days later.

In fact, Li Guifei wants to see Zhenniang today, just to take a look at her as a person, so as to analyze the greatest possibility of winning or losing Doumo.

Now Doumo seems to be just a provocation by the Japanese people on the surface, but for the emperor, it is a crucial competition.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has not been able to exert his fists and feet, and only last year's ban was imposed by the emperor, coupled with the request of the businessman.

This year, when the merchant ship that went to sea for the first time came back, the ship berth division made a lot of money, and even the royal supervisor also made a good start. It can be said that everything has achieved the purpose of the ban. It's just that Longqing didn't expect it. The Japanese merchant group that came with the ban brought him such a big problem.

Now some officials in the DPRK who opposed the ban at the beginning are said to have prepared a haode fold, just waiting for Doumo to lose, and the emperor will be drowned by the fold.

And now the ban has just begun, just tasted a little sweetness, the ban still has a long way to go, and this matter is presided over by the emperor as soon as he ascends the throne, if it is because of this matter, let those officials who are not on the road to participate. The emperor's face is about to be unbearable. And more importantly, if the emperor has any policies in the future, those officials will write excerpts if they can't say it, and then expose this shortcoming, it's a very stuffy thing to think about.

I can't afford to lose this bucket of ink.

"The Japanese mission proposed a new rule of fighting ink, and also proposed that if Li Mo loses, he must use the formula of Li's Liuhe Sancai Mo as a bonus." At this time, Li Guifei said slowly.

Hearing Li Guifei's words, Zhenniang couldn't help but raise her head: "Then what if the Japanese lose?" What do they do for bonuses? ”

"You should have mentioned it." Li Guifei said with a smile.

"That's good. Let them use the refining method of the sword to make a bonus, Niangniang. The little woman just said a word, we can't let the Japanese people do whatever they want. Zhen Niang pursed her lips and said, at this time, she still didn't understand, Lian Ji Yingsong wolf ambition, this is coveting Li Mo's formula.

Zhen Niang wants to return the body of others in the way of others.

It just so happens that Luo Wenqian has been dealing with the saber merchants in Shizhou recently, and Qi Shuai has also absorbed the advantages of the Japanese knife and reformed the Qi family knife when he was fighting against the Japanese, of course, this is not the point, after all, the Japanese knife is also from the Tang knife, and most of the Japanese knives that have been passed over are also more decorative, so Yu Daming's knife system is a little out of place, to be honest, Zhen Niang really doesn't care too much about this.

However, the sword has a different direction for the Japanese people, especially the Japanese samurai, and it is a kind of bushido spirit.

Therefore, now that the Japanese people proposed Li Mo's formula to make bonuses, she proposed the Japanese knife method to make bonuses, just asking for one to come and not be rude, so she threw the problem to the Japanese people to see if they dared to use the Japanese knife method to gamble.

And if Lian Ji Yingsong loses the Japanese sword system, then it is estimated that the envoy of the Japanese people will not be able to spare him.

In a word, since you Lian Ji Yingsong dare to stir up trouble, you must be prepared to take responsibility for failure.

"Well, that's how it should be." Li Guifei nodded. Li Zhenniang is really a decisive woman.

"Niangniang, on the day of the fight, I want to take my grandfather's tablet with me." Zhen Niang said suddenly at this time.

Li Guifei has also heard about the matter of the old shopkeeper Li Guifei, the mourning soldiers will win, and if she wants to come to the Li family, she will not stop it, so she nodded: "Accurate." ”

Then after a few words of encouragement, Zhenniang withdrew under the leadership of the palace maid. When I exited, I was actually sweaty from my vest, and outside, when the night breeze blew, it was a little cool.

Concubine Li Guifei has her own compelling momentum, if Zhenniang sees her very calmly, it is nonsense, and there is still nervousness.

However, Zhenniang can also feel that Concubine Li should be quite satisfied with seeing her today.

In this way, he said goodbye to Li Fuquan and went out of Fuxian Pavilion.

It's just that I didn't expect to see Luo Wenqian walking around not far away with a nervous face as soon as I got out of Fuxian Pavilion.

"Brother Luo, why are you here?" Zhen Niang stepped forward quickly. I was a little surprised, but it was not strange to think about it, after all, I was here to see the concubine, in case there was an inappropriate response, I would offend the master, so it was reasonable for Brother Luo to be worried.

"How?" Luo Wenqian stepped forward and saw Zhenniang shrinking her shoulders slightly, so he took off his coat and draped it on Li Zhenniang's shoulders.

"It should be okay, the concubine also rewarded something, and even encouraged a few words." Zhenniang replied.

Luo Wenqian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Luo, do you know that the noble concubine Weishenme suddenly wants to see me in person?" Zhen Niang asked, Speaking of which, what the concubine told her before can be told to your family by someone from the city, and the concubine does not need to see her in person.

"First, it should be the meaning of the treasurer of Fuquan, since the concubine has come to Nanjing, then she should also meet you, the life-saving benefactor who saved her eldest brother. Second, this time Doumo is also of great significance to the emperor, in a word, the emperor can't afford to lose, so the concubine is helping the emperor to explore, so she has a bottom in her heart. Luo Wenqian said, these are also the ones he just found out.

"That means that this time, my Li family has no way out." Li Zhenniang frowned and said.

"Not necessarily. If you want to retreat......" Luo Wenqian stared at Li Zhenniang with both eyes. This time, he's got all his cards on it. No matter what, it can always protect the Li family.

Of course, this was just a preparation for him, and he knew in his heart that the Li family would probably not need it.

"Brother Luo, I don't care about things in the court, but it's just my Li family, and my grandfather has already put his life on this matter. Do you think my Li family still has a way out, do you still need a way out? Zhen Niang suddenly smiled and said with bright eyes.

"Hmm." Luo Wenqian nodded.

"Brother Luo, wait for me to get you the method of making the sword." Zhen Niang said again. A face is imperative.

"Okay, I'll wait." Luo Wenqian said with a smile. Then they took Zhen Niang's hand, and the two walked side by side on the long street of Nanjing.

The night breeze blows, the green silk is flying, the bright moon is bright, and the shadows are in pairs.

In the blink of an eye, it was Doumo.

On this day, the whole of Nanjing was boiling. Because I heard that the emperor and the concubine are here.

And the location of Doumo is in the Yamen of the City Bo Division.

But the Li family is dressed in plain clothes, and Zhenniang is holding the tablet of the old shopkeeper Li. took the Li family and his party straight to the Yamen of the City Bo Division.

"The Li family brought the tablet of the old shopkeeper Li?" People passing by were a little surprised when they saw it.

"That's what nature is going to bring. Old Shopkeeper Li is gone for today's Doumo, how can he not let him take a look at this meeting now. Some people on the side who knew the inside story said with some emotion.

"That's, that's, and I have to be blessed by the old shopkeeper Li in heaven." And humane.

"Don't worry, this time it's the Li family win, a few days ago, an old woman who swept the floor could make the widow gray and faceless, the water of the Li family is deep, hehe, the widow can kick the iron plate this time." This is humane again.

"That's it, that's it." Someone should be along.

After a while, it was the auspicious time for Doumo.

Lian Ji Yingsong really proposed the bonus of the gambling fight, and the Li family is the formula of the Li family's Liuhe Sancaimo. However, when the Li family proposed that the bonus on the side of the Japanese people was the method of making Japanese swords, the faces of the Japanese envoys Jun and Lianji Yingsong were as heavy as ink.

However, at this time, they had no way out, so they had to grit their teeth and respond.

And the next Doumo is very simple, Lian Ji Yingsong has eliminated all the human factors. They each wrote calligraphy, painted, and then began to sprinkle water.

And until the water dries, whether it is Li Mo or even Ji Yingsong's ink, there is no clarity, the ink color is very stable, and it is still black and bright, and it is really an equal rhythm.

"Li Mo really deserves his reputation, but our ink is not bad, everyone fought a tie." Although Lian Ji Yingsong has some regrets, this situation is really in his expectation, Li Mo is indeed not comparable to his ink, and this ending is not bad.

But the crowd of onlookers was unwilling, before, the Japanese people also cut off the face of the Nanjing ink makers, and now even if it is a draw, but with the Ming Dynasty, a big country, and the Japanese people to fight a draw, it is also disgraceful.

"Slow, the fight is far from over, what, Mr. Lianji, we are fighting for the title of the world's first ink, and there has never been a juxtaposition in this comparison." Zhen Niang said suddenly at this time.

"Miss Li, this is already over, don't you still want to admit it." Lian Ji Yingsong said with a gloomy face.

"It's not that I don't admit it, but it's that it's not over, how do you let me admit it?" Li Zhenniang stared at Lian Ji Yingsong and asked rhetorically.

"Then how do you want to compare? I have a word in advance, any test of ink, by the Ming people to judge the ink is not fair. Lian Ji Yingsong said.

"Don't worry, I'm still using your method." Zhenniang replied, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, looking at Lian Ji Yingsong but there was a sense of ridicule, this person didn't even have the heart to really fight, he couldn't be regarded as an ink-making person, in her opinion, Lian Ji Yingsong's ink-making road came to an end.

"I want to hear about it." Lian Ji Yingsong looked at the Japanese envoy who was talking to the father-in-law of the city division for a moment, and said.

"It's very simple, isn't it just a competition between a fixed color and a fixed color?" Zhen Niang said, and saluted to the adults in front of the Yamen case, of course, the most important thing was to salute Emperor Longqing and Concubine Li Guifei behind the curtain.

Then he said, "Please also ask Lord Yan and this envoy to jointly send someone to fetch two large vats and put them on both sides and fill them with water." ”

Immediately, Lord Yan and the envoy of the Japanese people each sent someone to prepare the vats, and then carried them to the hall, and had the well water be brought from the wells to fill the two vats.

Thereupon. Zhenniang continued: "The next step is very simple. These two vats are here. Our Li family put the ink into one tank, and Mr. Lian Ji can put the ink into the other tank, soak it for three days, and then polish the ink to write, and see how the color is kept and fixed. Zhen Niang said.

"What if it's the same for three days?" Lian Ji Yingsong didn't expect this Miss Li to propose this method, so he really couldn't refuse.

"Ten days, then." Zhenniang continued.

"If it's the same for ten days?" Lian Ji Eisong continued to ask.

"January, then." Zhen Niang continued.

"What if it's the same in January?" Lian Ji Yingsong is on a par with Li Zhenniang.

"If it's the same in January, then you win." Zhen Niang's face was calm, and she stretched out her slender index finger and pointed at Lian Ji Yingsong.

I heard Li Zhenniang's decision. Even Ji Yingsong is a little drumming in his heart, no one is a fool, Li Zhenniang dares to bet like this, it is obviously certain that there is a certain degree of certainty, this soaking is actually different from wetting the ink before.

Wetting the ink color, seeing whether it is clear or not, is actually the raw material for making ink.

But soaking is different, it is compared to the skill of ink and pestle. If the pestle is not pounded enough, the ink is easy to soften in the soaking, and after it is soft. I can't hold any ink color.

"What's the matter, don't you dare?" Then. The onlookers outside saw that Lian Ji Yingsong was reluctant to respond, so they all cheered loudly.

"Lian Jijun !!" At this time, the face of the Japanese envoy also sank, and this was not the time to retreat.

"Okay, that's it." Lian Ji Yingsong gritted his teeth and said.

So immediately, the Li family and Lian Ji Yingsong respectively put ink into the big shortage.

And then there were three days of waiting.

In order to be fair and just, in the past three days, the yamen of the city division has not been closed, and then the Japanese warriors and the city division guards have guarded the vat separately to prevent people from approaching, so as to prevent ghosts.

In short, in this way, there is no such thing as cheating. Of course, the ink is in the water, and the water is still clear, but I can't see the difference between Li Mo and the ink of the Japanese people.

"Don't look at the ink or anything, we don't understand, but the Li family's mountains and rivers look like the atmosphere is at the end, look at the Great Wall on the ink, like a flying dragon flying on the top of the mountains, this is the dragon weather." A few old pedants stroked their beards and said.

Inevitably, I have to bow in the direction of the capital again.

In this way, three days have arrived in a blink of an eye, and on this day, all the people gathered in the Yamen of the City Ship Division, in fact, in the past few days, the Li family and even the people on Ji Yingsong's side have not left, and they are all resting in the wing room prepared by the City Ship Division.

At this time, the master of ceremonies ordered someone to take out the ink from the water, and then it was checked by the Li family and Lian Ji Yingsong respectively, and after there was no problem, they polished the ink and wrote again.

When Lian Ji Yingsong was writing, his face was getting darker and darker, and his own ink naturally knew best in his heart, after three days of soaking, when he wrote again, the whole ink color was not as black and bright as before.

And Zhen Niang's side, she is very calm, she tried to soak for more than ten days, this is still because of the new ink, and when she waits for the old ink, it is not a problem to soak for a few months.

After the two sides were written, Zuihou sprinkled water again, and at this time, it was obvious that the words written by Lianji Yingsong's ink had begun to be a little clear after being soaked with water, although there were not many, but those with clear eyes could see it at a glance.

On Li Mo's side, the ink color is the same, clear and black, and under the moisture, it looks even more impressive.

"Li Mo won, Li Mo won!!" Immediately, the crowd shouted.

"I declare that Li Mo is the first ink !!! in the world" At this time, Emperor Longqing also walked from behind the curtain with an excited face, announced loudly, and at the same time wrote the five big characters of "the first ink in the world" with the imperial pen.

"Hmph." The Japanese envoy looked at Lian Ji Yingsong and snorted heavily, but he retreated first.

Lian Ji Yingsong's face turned pale, he sighed, and turned around to leave with the Japanese envoy.

"Mr. Lianji, please also remove the words 'the first ink in the world' on your ink, and don't forget the bonus that should be paid." Zhen Niang said.
