The morning fog had not yet dissipated, and the sound of broken footsteps had already sounded on the bluestone pavement.

The little stone, who had been napping by the doorpost with his body bent, woke up when he heard this voice.

"You've been tired these days." Du Ruonan took a few steps forward and handed over a small packet of oiled paper, "It just came out of the stove, eat it while it's hot." ”

Xiao Shi took it scoldly: "Miss, from last night to this morning, no one in the second master's house came to snoop, only Furui as usual, and came to order every day." ”

"Okay." Du Ruonan nodded, "After staying up for so long, let's go back and rest early." ”

She has been hiding the matter of restoring the supply of silk, and when others asked, the Du family only said that the eldest lady was still trying her best to be considerate.

didn't know that Chen Cang had already been secretly here: Xue Fugui helped from the side, helped borrow other convoys to pretend to be merchants, and transported the silk in the name of boarding the Du family garden.

The masters and laborers of the dyeing workshop have been eating and living at Du's house for the past few days, and they have no time to deliver news to the outside.

Therefore, everyone knows that although the wood dyeing is brightly lit day and night, the silk matter has never been solved. Miss Du is only holding on, but the big list of the Lin buyer will not be completed.

The people outside spread the news with their noses and eyes, and those who knew the inside story of the Du family also followed to conceal it, and Du Liang was kept in the dark.

Today is the sixth day of the first lunar month, and it is the day when the Lin family came to inspect the goods.

Du Liang rarely got up early in the morning, and after a hurried breakfast, he impatiently led Du Furui to see Du Ruonan's jokes.

"Fury, did you go to see the progress of that shipment last night?"

"Back to the second master, the slave went to take a look, that batch of goods, it was still the same as five days ago, it was said that it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and now the silk supply is not ......"

"Ha that's right!" Du Liang laughed loudly, "No matter how smart she Du Ruonan is, can she be smarter than me?" ”

Du Furui responded vaguely, supported Du Liang, and buried his head lower.

"I want to see how she Du Ruonan ends up now."

The master and servant walked to Kapok Alley and watched a lame old man walk slowly from a distance.

"Seven Elders!" Du Liang hurriedly greeted him, smiling so much that he couldn't see his teeth, "You are here, you are affected today, help me to testify." ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for your invitation, I wouldn't have come." The old man stretched his face to the old man, and when he saw that there was no one around, he grabbed Du Liang's sleeve and lowered his voice, "Are you sure that Miss Du really didn't complete the list?" ”

"That's not it." Du Liang's eyes were dripping, and his expression was vivid, "I asked my henchman to go to the dyeing workshop every day to star, he saw it with his own eyes, and he couldn't be wrong!" ”

"Wood dyeing workshop, how many pairs of eyes are staring, Du Ruonan, that is the celebrity of our family. If anything goes wrong, I can't spare you! ”

If there is an accident, it is his misunderstanding as an elder that Du Ruonan has, then he is afraid that he will not be able to raise his head in the clan anymore.

Du Liang patted his chest and promised that things would go smoothly: "You are today, look at it!" ”

Inside the wood dyeing workshop.

When Du Liang walked in, Du Ruonan was pouring tea for the patriarch.

The patriarch is also there? Du Liang bowed and saluted, hiding the surprise in his eyes, and when he straightened up, he regained his warm smile and looked at Du Ruonan: "Brew tea and taste tea, niece is so Yaxing." ”

"But how did I hear that the Lin family's batch of fabrics has not yet been completed?" He couldn't suppress the expectation in his heart, and directly provoked the topic, "Others said so, and told me to call out." ”

"Our dyeing workshop is honest, it is the most difficult time, we insist on delivery, never delay, this signboard lasts for a hundred years, how can it be smashed into Ruonan's hands?"

"Ruonan, did you say?" His tone was very anxious, and without waiting for Du Ruonan to answer, he threw out a new word, "This Boss Lin sees that it is about to arrive, why don't you prepare the fabric Ruonan?" ”

"It's not this batch of goods, it's really as outsiders say......"

"It's my niece's fault for worrying the second uncle." Du Ruonan stopped his words, raised his palm and patted it, and with her applause, several sturdy men pushed out the cart full of fabric.

"The order was completed on schedule." Seeing that Du Liang's face was pale and incredulous, Du Ruonan raised his lips and chuckled, "Second uncle, you seem to be very disappointed." ”

"This, how is this possible?" Du Liang staggered, and was about to rush up to inspect the fabric.

But before he could act, the patriarch at the top couldn't stand it anymore, and the old man slammed the cup: "Du Liang! You secretly made a bad deal, deliberately let Boss Xue have a bad relationship with the cloth workshop, and cut off the supply of silk, what kind of dirty thoughts do you have! ”

"Patriarch, are you starting with He?" Du Liang waved his hand.

"The certified physical evidence is there, and you still want to quibble! Fury, come on! ”

Du Liang's eyes widened, and he watched Du Furui, who had always been submissive, leave his side, knelt on the bluestone slab, and nodded to the patriarch.

As Du Furui spoke, Du Liang's face gradually receded from blood.

"You have committed such evil deeds, and you still do not admit your guilt!" The patriarch slapped the tea case, and Du Liang's legs were weak, and he collapsed on the ground, speechless.

"The matter of the cloth workshop has nothing to do with you, and you are not allowed to set foot in half a step from now on!"

The sound of the carriage sounded, it was the buyer of Nalin who arrived, he stroked the cloth, his expression was satisfied, and his eyes looked at Du Ruonan more and more approvingly.

"Miss Du is amazing, I was still skeptical before, but today, I am really convinced."

"From now on, our Lin family will buy your family!"
