Chapter 269: Shouzhu
Ning Xia Qing almost broke into Gu Xuesong's mansion, and at that time, Gu Xuesong was in the study with a headache over the mountains of official documents. Guanqi didn't dare to stop it, because Ningxia Qing broke into the study directly. Gu Xuesong, who was buried in the first case, raised his head and saw the impatient Ning Xia Qinghe watching chess with an embarrassed face, and glanced at the chess.
Guanqi then led Cuiyu out and closed the door of the study. As soon as the door closed, Ning Ningqing asked sadly in a tone that was almost about to cry: "How long do you want to hide from me?" Could it be ...... You don't even tell me about his death, do you know? ”
Gu Xuesong's expression showed a moment of boredom, and he scolded: "He's not dead yet, you can't hold your breath like this!" ”
Ning Xia Qing wanted to ask Gu Xuesong why she was hiding it, but she knew that she was not qualified to question Gu Xuesong. Gu Xuesong had no obligation to tell her everything, not to mention, with her current relationship with Gu Xuesong, even if Gu Xuesong deliberately hid it from her out of revenge, she could only bear it.
Gu Xuesong sighed in annoyance and asked unhappily, "How did you know the news?" Did someone from the public office tell you? ”
"Yes." She replied, biting her lip.
Gu Xuesong sneered and asked, "The public office told you the news, I'm afraid it's to win you into their camp, right?" ”
She gave a positive and short answer.
Gu Xuesong's eyes became extremely cold, staring at her deadly, and asked, "Then what do you think?" For the sake of Ah Zheng, you want to turn your back on the Chamber of Commerce and join the public office? ”
After a long silent confrontation, she said gloomily, "I won't do this." ”
She is not stupid, Tan Wenshi understands her thoughts, if she really joins the public office, I am afraid that Tan Wenshi will not let Ah Zheng go.
What's more, turning her back on the Chamber of Commerce and joining the public office is tantamount to turning her back on the Ning family and joining the Xiao family, she has already tasted this fate once, and she will not do it if she loses her family.
"I can't do that either." She said with a bit of desperation: "But if I really go that far, I have to see him for the last time, and I have to go to the capital in person......"
At this moment, Ningxia Qingxun was about to cry, her eyes were red, her whole person was sobbing non-stop, and bean-sized tears slipped down from her eyes.
"That's early." Gu Xuesong's attitude softened slightly: "Although this matter is handed over to the five princes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not come by the five princes, and the abbot has already met the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is now interested in this case, plus the emperor is jealous of Ah Zheng's identity in the North, and the five princes dare not do anything to Ah Zheng at the moment." ”
Ning Ningqing was a little flustered, and couldn't help but think about it: "The fifth prince may not treat Ah Zheng now, but ...... But if the emperor can't think of Ah Zheng, as time goes by, the five princes will inevitably ...... Ah Zheng."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally remind the emperor at the right time." Gu Xuesong interrupted: "It's just that the court is worried about the situation right now, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentions Ah Zheng's matter to the emperor at this time, it will seem out of place, and it will not be good for Ah Zheng." So we have to wait for the time being. ”
Gu Xuesong's tone was marked with obvious impatience: "Do you understand?" ”
Ning Xia Qing raised her red eyes, looked at Gu Xuesong a little blankly, nodded, and replied honestly: "I understand." ”
Gu Xuesong glanced at her, turned her head angrily, and even her tone revealed an obvious meaning of sending off guests: "If you understand, go out quickly." As for Yao Sanxing's deal, you can't let it go, you can't give up your interests to the office, you need to take that deal down as soon as possible, understand? ”
Ning Xia Qing stared at Gu Xuesong with red eyes, and nodded honestly and timidly.
Gu Xuesong glanced at her unhappily and waved her hand, but she could only slip away with a look of understanding.
At the same time that Ning Xia Qing left, the Jiang family in the backyard got up uneasily, and asked with an uneasy face: "What's the matter, I heard that there was a quarrel in the front yard?" ”
The bridal maid hurriedly walked over and comforted: "I heard that Ning Dangjia came and had some conflicts with adults, but now he is gone, and the front yard is fine." ”
The bridal maid helped Jiang to lie down, and said uneasily: "Madame, don't worry about it." Mrs. has been uncomfortable for the past few days, and she refuses to see the doctor for anything, if she takes care of it well, she always follows the adults to worry, how can she get it like this? ”
Jiang sighed and said worriedly: "My father wrote that the situation in Beijing has not been good recently, and my husband has been busy day and night recently, if I invite the doctor to come and see a doctor, my husband will definitely know that the doctor has come to the house, and he will know that it is me who is not feeling well, so won't he worry about me again?" I just want to save my husband some snacks......"
Jiang glanced out the window, looked in the direction of the front yard and said: "My husband is not in good health, he should have been able to give birth to him, but during these days, he has been busy with official duties, and I have heard him cough several times more times than before." If I had invited a doctor to come to my house at this time, wouldn't it have made him a little more worried? ”
"After all, Madame is still for the sake of adults." The personal maid couldn't bear to say: "Madame's hard work, adults will understand sooner or later." ”
Jiang lowered his eyes, and his eyes couldn't help revealing a little grievance and sourness.
Before, Gu Xuesong suddenly disappeared from home at night, and sure enough, as the Jiang family expected, Gu Xuesong and Ningxia Qing were together.
What do they do together? They all let the two of them go home so late......
The bridal maid looked at Jiang's face, pursed her lips, and finally gained the courage to complain for Jiang's grievances in a low voice: "Madame thinks about adults like this, and she is afraid of worrying adults, but Nan Ning is in charge of the family at this time and quarrels with adults, it is really not ......long-hearted."
Jiang lowered his face, as if to comfort the maid, and as if to comfort himself, and said weakly: "Don't say that." Ning's affairs are the husband's business, and it is different from mine......"
Ning Xia Qing returned to Huacaiyuan, sorted out his emotions, and tried to make himself look calmer. When she walked to the counter of Wah Choi Yuan, she looked the same as usual.
"In charge," Dong Zizhen walked over and said worriedly: "I tried my best, and finally contacted Yao Sanxing and asked him to meet, but Yao Sanxing refused directly......"
The result was similar to what Ningxia Qing expected. Tan Wenshi said that Yao Sanxing has already talked about it with the public office, and he is now ordering the category and quantity of goods, and at this point, it is normal for Yao Sanxing not to want to talk more with Ningxia Qing.
Ning Ningqing felt cold in his heart and asked Dong Zizhen: "Where does Yao Sanxing live?" ”
Dong Zizhen said an inn that he inquired about, and then, Ningxia Qing asked Cuiyu to call Zhen Fu, planning to go to the inn to block Yao Sanxing directly.
Dong Zizhen naturally knew Ning Ningqing's plans, and persuaded him a little stunned: "Boss, won't this be good, if we provoke Yao Sanxing's disgust, we will lose more than we gain." Let's either admit it this time, the future will be long, and we will find a way to save Yao Sanxing in the future. ”
Ning Xia Qing said worriedly: "I naturally understand this truth, but I have no other choice at the moment. This list is very important to me, and I have to take it, so whatever the consequences, I have to try what I need to try. ”
Ning Ningqing arrived at the inn where Yao Sanxing stayed, took a piece of broken silver and gave it to the shopkeeper, and found out that Yao Sanxing hadn't returned to the inn today, so she simply sat in the inn hall and asked for a pot of tea, and waited.
At sunset, the smoke rises from every house, the smoke falls, the time for dinner has passed, Yao Sanxing has not returned, and Ningxia Qing has been waiting there hungry.
She noticed that the shopkeeper had secretly looked at her strange person several times, but she just pretended not to see it, and waited here with an empty stomach and cheekiness.
When Yao Sanxing walked into the inn, Ningxia Qing had already waited from dawn to dark.
Yao Sanxing saw Ningxia Qing at a glance. Yao Sanxing is not stupid, nor is he young, so he naturally knows that it is useless not to see it in this fashion, so after Yao Sanxing saw Ningxia Qing, he came directly to Ningxia Qing.
While approaching Ningxia Qing, Yao Sanxing clenched his fists and said bluntly: "Ning is in charge, I can't live this time." Ning Dangjia didn't know that this transaction was not mine alone, and I still had a few partners who had contributed a total of money, and I had to be responsible for them. The tone is sincere, but there is no room for change.
Ning Xia Qing immediately said: "Boss Yao, I'm not here to complain to you, nor am I here to force you to talk to businessmen about business, I came this time because I have something very important to tell you." ”
Yao Sanxing was stunned for a moment, with a little doubt in his eyes, and a little suspicion.
Ningxia Qing understood why Yao Sanxing was puzzled, and he also understood why Yao Sanxing was suspicious.
Ning Xia Qing knew that the moment Yao Sanxing saw him, he would definitely subconsciously feel that he was here to pull a deal, but he told Yao Sanxing that there was something important that had to be said, which naturally caused Yao Sanxing to be a little surprised and curious.
Ning Xia Qing also knew that Yao Sanxing was an old man, and when he heard Ning Ningqing say this, he would naturally be led by Ning Ningqing by the nose at the same time, and at the same time wonder if Ning Xia Qing was playing tricks.
Ning Ningqing opened his mouth and said: "I know the reason why Boss Yao abandoned the Chamber of Commerce to choose the office this time, so I won't repeat it to Boss Yao." I just want to say, is Boss Yao so sure that tomorrow's situation can be the same as today's situation, today's advantage is still today's advantage, and today's disadvantage is still tomorrow's disadvantage? ”
"Rather be in charge......" Yao Sanxing's expression was a little embarrassed.
Ning Xia Qing interrupted eagerly: "Boss Yao, I'm not arguing. Presumably Boss Yao also knows that in the past few years, there have been many times when Ning's almost couldn't hold on, Ning's is just encountering a similar predicament today, and he also asks Boss Yao not to be blinded by temporary appearances, and to take a long-term view. ”
Yao Sanxing sighed and said embarrassedly: "Ning is in charge, I am not deceived by temporary appearances. For the sake of past friendships, let me tell you one thing. ”
Yao Sanxing told Ningxia Qing that when Yao Sanxing went to negotiate with the public office today, he met an official who came from Beijing, and this official met Yao Sanxing for some reason and was an old friend. From the mouth of the official, Yao Sanxing heard that the people who wanted to rectify the Ning clan this time were more powerful than those before.
If it is like before, Ningxia Qing's opponent is Master Ning San, Deputy Lieutenant Xue, and the Ministry of Rites and Yao Sanxing who are confronting the Ministry of Industry, all believe that Ningxia Qing can find a way to turn around, but this time, it is the hot prince in the court who wants to rectify the Ning family...... Can a small local merchant compete with the prince of the dynasty? I don't believe it.
When Ning Xia Qing heard Yao Sanxing's words, he suddenly smiled easily, and asked with a smile: "Did that official tell Boss Yao that since Ning's opponent is that nobleman, why has Ning's family not been seized for a long time, and is still doing business and opening a shop in Meigong County?" ”
"This ......" Yao Sanxing looked suspicious and said, "I heard that it was delayed because of the war in the south." If there is no war in the south, the emperor will start to hold Aunt Ning accountable and uproot the Ning family. ”
"Indeed, it was delayed because of the war in the south." Ning Xia Qing muttered to himself thoughtlessly.
Catching up with Yao Sanxing, he immediately cast a puzzled look, and Ning Xia Qing said: "Boss Yao, you have been deceived." ”
