Chapter 142 Jiāo Wrong

The sunset is fading, lanterns, tables, and many people. This is dinner time, just like the kind of large-scale banquet that the relatives and friends of the Su family gather around the New Year every year, and the people involved are still the same, but the atmosphere today is a little different.

The crowd is boiling, and the excitement is still lively after all, but there is no such situation as in the past, where there is no burden of wanton laughter, and the people in the big room, the second room, and the third room are divided into invisible areas. Only the most heartless people can eat and drink freely in the flask—everyone is laughing and talking, greeting each other with people they know, but not many people drink. Under this lively appearance, people from all sides are looking at each other, speculating on each other, surging undercurrents, and a slightly tense atmosphere.

Su Yu sat on top of the chief, watching all this quietly, his eyes swept over the second and third rooms, and when he turned to the big room, he could clearly notice the decadence and quietness that seemed to be mixed here, only Su Yunsong and a few others were laughing and enlivening the atmosphere, Su Tan'er and Ning Yi sat on the side to eat, and they were talking in a loud voice, these two people were also quiet, Su Tan'er's expression was calm, and she occasionally glanced around, but her attention was still on Ning Yi's body when chatting.

Su Yu stayed on Ning Yi's body for a moment, and then someone came over with a wine glass, it was Xi Anzhi, the shopkeeper of the second room, and the old man smiled, withdrew his gaze, and nodded to him to speak.

The dinner was not long.

After you have eaten your fill, you will enter the stage of dispersal. There were no solemn ceremonies or symbolic speeches here, and everyone already knew what was going on, but they still let a few stewards inform the members who were going to attend the clan assembly one by one. The venue of the banquet was a little confused, some people got up first, and had already begun to go to the council hall next to the ancestral hall, the crowd was talking in twos and threes, buzzing, and it seemed to be a little mixed for a while, and some people were looking for people in the crowd while getting up, and they were telling something.

There were a total of about fifty people who could participate in this clan meeting, and most of the rest of the people who participated in the dinner were family members, or the treasurers and stewards of the Su Mansion, even if they could not attend, most of these people would wait for news in the nearby square or garden. Turning the eaves in front of him, the lights stretched out around the Xiǎo Square in Su Mansion, and Su Boyong was pushed forward in a wheelchair in the crowd, a little behind next to him, and Su Tan'er and Ning Yi were also going over there.

"Xianggong ...... tonight Isn't it a bit boring? ”

"No, it won't."

"But ......" Su Tan'er lowered her head, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just smiled, and in the night breeze, she quietly reached over and grabbed Ning Yi's sleeve, and the husband and wife seemed to be walking side by side affectionately. After a while, Su Tan'er also shook her arm childishly, and shook Ning Yi's hand several times. At this time, as if remembering something, he turned his head to look to the side, and his eyes began to quiet down.

Xi Junyu was also talking to the shopkeeper of a big house in the crowd, occasionally looking at Su Tan'er, and what he was talking about was actually his worries about tonight and his position after tonight. Probably halfway through the square, a man came from the crowd and greeted him with a smile, this was Geng's guard, who was also one of the most trusted people in the big house.

"Sister xiǎo has arranged some things tonight, about a moment in the hour, please trouble the shopkeeper Xi to go out with me, this matter is important, there is still about half an hour, if the shopkeeper Xi has something at hand, and arrange it first, I am afraid that I will be busy until late tonight."

Walking to the side, Geng Huwei said in a loud voice.

"Significant?" Xi Junyu frowned, "Tonight...... What is it? ”

"It's hard to say for the time being, in short, it's arranged by Sister Xiǎo."

Xi Junyu thought for a while, and said with joy: "Things are still turning around?" ”

"It's hard to say, the shopkeeper will know when he goes with me when the time comes......"

"Oh, okay."

Xi Junyu nodded, and when he looked at Su Tan'er, he saw that Su Tan'er had already left Ning Yi's side and was leaning over his father's wheelchair to say something. Seeing his gaze, he smiled slightly, nodded and gestured to him and Geng Guard, and then Su Boyong also turned his head and nodded slightly.

So Xi Junyu also smiled and nodded in response.

At this time, the two sides were already a little far apart, and when he saw Su Tan'er's back when he turned around and walked towards the ancestral hall of the ancestral hall, he remembered that he should have gone over to comfort a few words for tonight's matter, but ...... Well, let's come back and talk about it. ,

He walked towards the crowd whose backs had disappeared from view.

However, there is still a turnaround? How can it be.

So he began to frown and ponder......

Soon after, the sound of the first round of ancestor worship began to sound from that side.

In the chamber, the lights were brightly lit, illuminating every corner of this huge room.

“…… As is customary, we all get together here at least once a year, and each time, we need to decide something important. In previous years, meetings were held only after the general ledger was made at the end of the year. This year, more than a month in advance, this time the labor patriarch and the sect elders came forward, and they also rushed back from all over the country, because in the recent period, our Su family has had a lot of problems, and the problems may be very xiǎo, but they can also be very big...... But at the moment, everyone thinks that the problem will be very troublesome......"

The loud voice sounded in this conference hall, and there was silence between the seats, and below the group of sect chiefs were the people in the third room, Su Boyong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was not very good, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, Su Zhongkan was sitting in a precarious position, and Su Yunfang seemed to be thinking about things by himself. The person who spoke in the center of the hall was Su An, who was called the seventh uncle by several people, and when he said this, he paused slightly.

"About these things, about the things of this family, after all, the patriarch knows best......" he turned around, "Third brother, you tell me?" ”

Su Yu frowned, looked at the people in the council hall at this time, and after a while, raised his hand: "Old Seven, you should continue." ”

Su An nodded, and after a moment, he turned to the side and stretched out his hand to a person: "Specific...... Let the big butler talk about it, he knows best. ”

What he is referring to is naturally the big housekeeper who manages the specific affairs of the big mansion today, this middle-aged man is also a relative of the Su family, and he is relatively low-key on weekdays, and does not participate in things like fighting for property, but now most of the affairs of the Su Mansion in Jiangning will flow to him for induction. Although the big house, the second room and the third room are hidden, the accounts in his hand are still relatively objective after all.

After a while, the voice rang out.

"It's hard for me to say whether these things are big or not, but in the recent past, the specific things that come to me are probably like this: first, in the past three months, my Su family has sold various goods in Jiangning, and the market share has declined to a certain extent, but in general, less than half of it...... The main problem is that in the future profits, in recent times, Jiangning a place, nearly sixty percent of the suppliers, partners began to ask with my Su family jiāo, increase the price of raw silk, reduce the cost of taking goods, listed here in me: Qi family requirements ......"

The voice of the chief butler was not low, the voice came out of the council room, back to Dàng in the night breeze, the nearby square, the side of the garden, can be faintly heard, Su Wengui and others gathered not far away while listening and discussing, a little farther away, Sudan Hong was also talking to a few family members who were close to the shopkeeper of the big house, occasionally frowning.

Everything started as expected. The problems that the Su family is facing at the moment, the requirements put forward by all sides, and the hidden crises behind these requirements, she is also clear, and when she turned her head, she inadvertently saw Ning Yi who was walking over there, this man seemed to be a little bored, and he was swinging his hands and feet to make a few stretching movements, and walked farther away.

Sudan Red followed.

Walking through the courtyard, I couldn't hear much of the sound from there, and I could only see the lights around the council hall through the courtyard wall, Ning Yi's figure at this time seemed to be a little different from the past, and he still looked relaxed, but ...... As if he was feeling something there, he sat down by the gazebo in this courtyard, raised his head to see the starry sky, and the alley near the courtyard would have footsteps passing from time to time, and Sudan Hong frowned.

This person, isn't he feeling the feeling of the last moment before the big house loses power?

She frowned......

In the council room, the narration continued, as long as you know some business, you can feel the danger behind these situations, the problems of the Su family, the hungry wolf is fed, and the big housekeeper has been talking for a long time, finished narrating these things, and returned to his seat. No one spoke below, only at the top, several clan elders began to speak.

"It's in ...... I think my Su family is hopeless, and I think my Su family is going to have a big incident......"

"If the problem needs to be solved, let's talk about it and find a reason......

Several old men looked around, and the hall began to fall silent again. Su Chonghua sat in the crowd and watched silently, he could probably guess what would happen next, but after all, these things didn't need him to speak or come forward to state something, and his mood was a little relaxed at this time, just watching, when his eyes swept over his mouth, he suddenly remembered Ning Yi again. ,

Where is he now, how is he feeling. That first set the wind bō......

"The beginning of this incident was caused by the assassination of the uncle after all, of course, the responsibility will not be on the uncle, I think our Su family should also try our best to find the instigator behind the murderer. But if you only talk about what the matter is for, Wen Xing has some ideas...... "Next, the person who lit the fuse came out, although he is the third generation of the Su family, but because he has managed some specific affairs of the second room recently, he can already participate in this meeting."

"In the final analysis, this time it was because of the unsuccessful high-profile competition for the imperial merchant by my Su family......"

"With so much momentum and so much investment, nothing ...... end up in the end"

"So people outside are starting to suspect ......"

As a predetermined step, from the moment Su Wenxing caused this topic, the discussion finally began to spread, after Su Wenxing finished speaking, the rest of the people in the second and third rooms participated in the discussion, and then there were also Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang, the words were discussed, there were doubts, and the voices came out one after another.

"So the question now is, how much did Tan'er cào spend on this imperial businessman......"

"Big room...... From the shopkeeper Liao down, the specific situation ...... It's a pity that Shopkeeper Liao is not in Jiangning today......"

"The current situation on our side is like this, and there are certain problems, which cannot be recovered, and it will continue for ......a long time."

"In the last two years, no, three years, we know that there are some problems in the accounts, and this matter should be clearer on the eldest brother's side......"

The scheduled drama began to speak one by one one after another, and the big room was relatively silent from beginning to end, and Su Tan'er and the others would occasionally open their mouths. The starry night was low, and this night, the whole thing was destined to take a long time. Outside the conference hall, Su Wengui and others were talking and laughing, and some people left and came back: "It only started tonight......" they said.

On the Yuexiang Building, a few streets away from Su Mansion, Xue Yan and the others were eating, talking and laughing about some recent things, and at this time, they also looked in the direction of Su Mansion: "Speaking of which, it has already started over there." ”

As one of the four leaders of Jiangning, Luo Miaomiao smiled not far away: "Xue Gongzi and you, what you care about tonight is not like these stormy things." ”

"Ha Luha, my eyes are like torches, tonight, we do have some things to care about. Miao girl, do you know that cloth line Su family? ”

Luo Miao thought for a while, and a ray of light flashed in her eyes: "Xue Gongzi is referring to the Su family where Ning Yi and Ning Liheng entered the family?" ”

After all, the matter of cloth is only the concern of insiders, Luo Miaomiao is now the head of the line, but there are not many people who know the Tao, but the first thing she remembered was the first talent in the water tune song head and the Qing yù case. Xue Yan and the others were stunned, and then laughed.

"Yes, yes, speaking of which, it also has something to do with him at this time, has the misty girl ever heard that a few months ago, there was an assassination incident in Jiangning besieged the city, and there was a lot of uproar......

The scheduled mode of the Su family clan meeting has begun, and the Yuexiang Building here has also begun to repeat the ups and downs of Jiangning's weaving industry in recent months. Under the same starry sky, there is a place, which was originally unrelated to these things, Changyun Pavilion, which is not far from Yuexiang Building, is a large-scale restaurant, and tonight, a party from the Puyang family is being held here.

As the richest man in Jiangning, after so many years of operation, the Puyang family has Qilan as an Oiran in charge, and now it has a certain relationship with many talents in Jiangning, today is not a big day, so as soon as the party opened, many famous talents also came over, among which Cao Guan, Liu Qingdi and others were also among them, which can be regarded as a poetry meeting between literati. Pu Yangyi, who presided over the party, was an all-round person, but some things were not easy to control, and at this time, a xiǎoxiǎo chā song occurred.

Today, I don't know what kind of bad mood Liu Qingdi drank some wine, and the poems were a little wild, and it was also between this poetry meeting that he inadvertently bumped into a participant, and then the two sides quarreled, although they were subsequently quelled by Puyang Yizhong, but between some people in this party, there was also a faint smell of fire.

A middle-aged man who was known as a monk of the empty mountain and was not very talented was also among them, and he originally wanted to mediate in chāchā dialect, but immediately, he was also bō brought in by Liu Qingdi.

The poetry meeting continued in the incongruous atmosphere caused by this chā song, and the two sides began to spell the poems and gradually became enthusiastic. Pu Yangyi was also very happy.

Of course, at this time, they still have no connection with the trajectory line of the Su family......

"Click" Ning Yi peeled off the peanut, threw it into his mouth, and hummed softly the prelude to the devil's entry into the village, humming and humming into a wedding march.

Sudan Red walked over from the side, angry in her heart, and looked at him like this.

"Cousin Hong, sit down, you're welcome. Eating peanuts? ”

"I don't know what you're thinking."

"Feel the atmosphere ......"

"What Tan'er has been fighting for for so many years and hasn't given up is about to be gone, do you know Lu Dao?"

"You guessed wrong." Ning Yi replied lightly, looking back at the direction of the council hall, the lights overflowed from that side, spreading over, and among them, there was an aura of restlessness, "The matter should be about the same......
