Zhen Niang never thought that the Ninth Uncle Guild would be like this, and at this moment, the Ninth Uncle was standing in the pine field, almost crying, and the voice was extremely desolate.

Zhen Niang couldn't help but think of the time before the crossing, due to the decline of the ink industry, when her grandfather Zuihou took off the signboard of Li's ink workshop, at that time, the grandfather hid in the room alone, and his suppressed cry was no different from the current ninth uncle.

Zhen Niang didn't bother Uncle Jiu at this time, but just stood aside alone.

But I thought in my heart, suffering from this pine plague, Li Mo is afraid that he will not be able to pay tribute to Mo again this year, after all, if something happens in Songchang, most of the ink-making materials will be lost, where can Li Mo get the amount of Gongmo needed.

"Let's go, go back." The ninth uncle looked up to the sky and sighed, but after all, he had lived for most of his life and experienced countless setbacks.

"Hmm." Zhenniang responded and helped Uncle Nine down the mountain.

The two made it all the way back to the city.

"Zhenniang, when you go home, let your grandfather come to the ink shop." Entering the city, Uncle Nine said to Zhen Niang.

"Haode, Ninth Uncle." Zhenniang nodded.

At this moment, the old shopkeeper Li was also anxious at home like an ant on a hot pot, and finally waited for Zhenniang to enter the house, so he asked, "How is it?" Is it pine plague? ”

"Yes." Zhen Niang nodded, and then said, "Grandpa, Uncle Nine asked you to go back to the ink shop." ”

"Okay, I'll go." The old shopkeeper Li didn't say a word, raised his legs and left.

Wu hurriedly entered the house, took a thick jacket out, and handed it to Zhen Niang: "Zhen Niang, you go with your grandfather, it's already evening outside, and I don't know when I will come back." ”

"Ugh." Zhenniang took the clothes, nodded heavily, and followed her grandfather's footsteps out of the door.

The grandfather and grandson traveled all the way, and after a while, they arrived at the Li Mansion.

Uncle Nine had already arrived first.

"Eighth uncle, Li Mo is in the autumn of life and death again, everything before is put down, this time I ask Eighth Uncle to help me through this difficulty." The seventh old lady saw the old shopkeeper Li enter the door and said bluntly.

"Seventh sister-in-law is polite, I will do my best, now the top priority, first to hide the matter of pine plague, before the other ink shops have not reacted, go to the field to purchase pine wood, and the second is to withdraw from the election of tribute ink." The way of the old shopkeeper Li. There is a bit of a strong man's broken wrist.

"Quitting Gongmo's campaign? No, the opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come, this time, the Luo family is a monk, my Li family is at the right time, and there is a word to help the father-in-law, this is a thousand times difficult to sew, if this exit, it will be Cheng 's gain, Cheng's strength is now no longer under my Li family, if you get the opportunity to pay tribute to Mo, it will inevitably be carried forward, at that time, I Li Mo want to snatch back the Gongmo manufacturing from Cheng Mo's hands, it is a thousand difficulties. Li Jinhe said with a frown.

"No, you have to give up, first, I don't know if the Tian family or the Cheng family are operating behind the scenes, exaggerating the fact that Zhenniang saved Miss Yan, and the prison officer and the ink officer have always been at odds with each other, at that time, it will cause a-for-tat confrontation with the ink officer, and it will not be half beneficial to my Li family. Second, on the occasion of pine plague, the ink shop can only rely on the purchase of pine wood to support, the cost will inevitably increase, plus, once the pine plague spreads, the price of pine will inevitably rise, then, some merchants will hoard pine wood to be sold at the price, at this point, in case of missing the delivery time of the tribute ink, it is a disaster. "Old Li shopkeeper said.

Li Jinhe stopped talking, knowing that what the starling said was reasonable. Just gritted his teeth fiercely, he was unwilling.

"Okay, at this time, I'll do what the old man said." Mrs. Li made the final decision. He said to Li Jinhe again: "Lao Jiu, the matter of purchasing pine wood will be handed over to you." ”

"Okay, Seventh Sister-in-law, don't worry." Li Jinhe nodded. At this point, that's all there is to it.

It's so decided, the seventh old lady sits in the ink workshop, once the pine plague comes out, the Huizhou ink industry still doesn't know how big a mess.

The three elders in the room were all relieved when they finished talking.

At this time, Zhenniang was in the outer hall, chatting with several aunts and sisters-in-law.

"Zhenniang, your grandfather and seventh grandmother and ninth uncle have been in there for a while, what are you talking about?" On the side, the third aunt in the seventh room, Tian, raised her eyebrows and asked Zhenniang.

This Tian is Tian Benchang's aunt, who is only thirty now, plus she is well-maintained, she looks very young, but they are all widows, and their clothes are all plain.

Zhen Niang remembered that the end of her zuihou on the family tree was to return to the Tian family, and not a few, died. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but sigh secretly.

It's just that now that the Tian family asks about this, she can't say anything for the time being, after all, now that the Tian family has also entered the ink-making line, this pine plague thing should not be noisy in her mouth, so she said: "Aunt Tian, I don't know this." ”

"Why don't you know, I heard that you went out of the city with your ninth uncle in the afternoon?" Nada continued to inquire.

Zhen Niang was a little unhappy in her heart, and it was not right for the three aunts to ask themselves about the younger generation to inquire about the elders.

It's just that it's rare for her to come to Yanzong's side, and the third aunt is an elder on Yanzong's side, so it's always difficult for her to squeeze her.

"Third brother and sister, Zhenniang is a junior, you ask her what to do with this, and when your mother-in-law comes out, you can ask herself." At this time, Huang, who had been immersed in carving the right to make ink carving, raised his head and said lightly.

The Huang family is the second aunt of the seventh room, the Huang family in Huizhou, and the first-hand wood carving skills are quite good.

Huang's words blocked Tian's speech, and he drank tea stupidly and said, "I'll just ask." ”

For a while, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.

Fortunately, at this time, the three elders came out of the study after discussing the matter. Then the old shopkeeper Li said goodbye and left with Zhenniang.

It was late, it was the moon, there were no stars and no moon in the sky, Zhen Niang carried the air death lantern, and walked carefully with her grandfather.

"Grandpa, how do you solve the problem?" Zhenniang asked curiously.

"First take advantage of the fact that the pine plague has not come out, buy pine wood from the outside, and withdraw from the Gongmo campaign, by the way, don't talk about the pine plague." Old Shopkeeper Li advised. If you can hide it for a day, the Li family can take advantage of the opportunity to buy pine wood.

"I know." Zhenniang nodded, about the same as she had expected. Li Mo really withdrew from the Gongmo race.

After a while, the grandfather and grandson returned home.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Uncle Jiu took the little steward of Liangmo Ji out of the city to buy pine wood.

Although there was a threat of pine plague, it had no effect on Zhen Niang's small fight, she mainly used tung oil to burn cigarettes, so early the next morning, she still carried her wooden box to Sibao Street to sell her ink.

And sure enough, Li Mo's withdrawal from the Gongmo election caused an uproar. Everyone didn't know what was going on, and Zuihou only thought that it was the Sun family's secret theft case some time ago that affected the Li family.

Of course, there are also people who think that there is another reason.

"Miss Li, your seventh grandmother Weishenme suddenly announced her withdrawal from the Gongmo election, this year is the most beneficial year for Li Mo."

When Zhen Niang was setting up the stall, Old Man Cheng San paced over, first looked at the ink made by Zhen Niang, and then asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"Third grandfather, how can I, as a junior, know the thoughts of my seventh grandmother." Zhen Niang said with a smile.

"I really don't know?" Master Cheng San blew his beard.

"I don't know." Zhen Niang said, and then sold Guanzi: "But it's ......"

"But what?" Master Cheng San's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

"It's not a good thing that Grandpa Cheng has done." Zhen Niang said with a knowing look.

"What good did I do?" Cheng Lao Sanye was inexplicable.

"Now it is rumored outside that because I saved Miss Yan, Li Mo has been appointed to make tribute ink, and the rest of the families are accompanying the exam. Doesn't Grandpa Cheng know about this? Zhen Niang asked rhetorically.

"I know, but what does this have to do with me?" Old man Cheng San asked with a pure face.

"Isn't it your Cheng family who deliberately spread the story?" Zhen Niang asked rhetorically.

"How can there be such a thing?" Master Cheng San flatly denied it, but his old face couldn't help but blush, although this matter was passed down by the Tian family, it was inevitable that the Cheng family would fan the flames.

"Tsk." Zhen Niang smiled twice, and the angry Cheng San shook his sleeves and returned to Cheng's Moxuan.

"Third uncle, how is it? So what did Miss Li say? "Mo Xuan, Young Master Cheng asked.

"This dead girl, very weird, and her tone is tight, not only did she not ask anything, but she also squeezed a few words." Master Cheng San said angrily. Then he asked, "Approximately, how about the things I asked you to check?" ”

"Well, there was nothing abnormal in the Li family before, that is, the day before yesterday, that Miss Li suddenly accompanied Li Jiuye out of the city and went to the pine field outside the city, and after coming back, that night, Li Baye and Li Jiuye all appeared on the side of the ink shop, I don't know what to discuss, early yesterday morning, Li Jiuye went out of the city with the two little stewards of the ink tube, and left by boat." Cheng about the road.

"Went to Matsuba outside the city? You go to someone to inquire again, what's going on in Matsuba? Let people follow Li Jiuye all the way to see what he does? I always have a feeling that something big is happening, otherwise, it would be impossible for the Li family to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Master Cheng San said.

"Okay, I'll inquire again." Cheng Yue nodded, and hurried away again.

……

"Your Li family, you have found out about the pine plague."

Zhen Niang was sitting on the pony at the moment, looking at the Chen family Moxuan at the opposite door, which could make Grandpa Cheng San deflated, and she was a little proud in her heart. was just unprepared, and a word came from behind her, which made her almost sit on the ground in fright.

hurriedly turned around, but saw that at some point, Luo Shaoqian was sitting under the old locust tree behind him, sloppy, with a bruise on his face and forehead, looking extremely downcast, this kind of behavior of sitting on the ground, he would not have done it before he was killed, but now it is all taken for granted.

This guy's expression is still calm, but the eyes sometimes show indignation, self-deprecation and unwillingness to make people feel that his mood is not as calm as it seems.

"What do you say? I don't understand, what pine plague? Zhenniang took a deep breath before asking inexplicably.

"Hehe, don't hide it, I guessed about the pine plague a month ago." Luo Wenqian squinted his eyes and said.

"Then you don't say it?" Zhen Niang said with some anger, if she had known a month ago, the pine plague would still be saved.

"I'm going to say?" Luo Wenqian suddenly said viciously: "Your Li family and Cheng family's Tian family are all the way, I can't wait for my Luo family to fall immediately, so as to carve up the foundation of my Luo family, now, you have got your wish, but God has eyes, even if our Luo family falls, you can't take any advantage." ”

Luo Wenqian said, gritting his teeth.

Zhen Niang is a person who is willing to show weakness, but she snorted coldly: "Don't say it so innocently, over the years, your Luo family has suppressed our Li family less by virtue of the relationship between the DPRK and China, besides, back then, my Li family Gongmo had an accident, if it wasn't for the black hand of your Luo family, I would take off my head for you." ”

Back then, Li Jiagongmo had a problem, and naturally canceled the qualification of Li Jiagongmo, and Zuihou benefited from the Luo family, but at that time, the Pan family was also a master of ink making, and the Cheng family was also a rookie.

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse." Luo Wenqian snorted coldly.

"I think some people don't dare to admit it." Zhenniang also refused to give an inch.
