Chapter 174: Grab Alive
When Ning Xia Qing walked out of the workshop, he had already heard the voice of Master Ning San, and knew that it was Master Ning San who was chasing after him to send Xiao Jingyuan.
Ningxia Qing didn't pay attention to it and went straight to his own path.
Before she could take a few steps, she heard Master Ning San's voice coming from behind her: "Green girl, green girl!" You stop! ”
Ning Xia Qing turned around, and sure enough, it was Master Ning San, who had already sent Xiao Jingyuan into the carriage and walked quickly in her direction.
Master Ning San was panting and very uncertain and said, "You...... You are my cousin and niece, my junior, we have something to discuss, why do you want to compete with me? ”
Ning Xia Qing coldly hooked the corners of his mouth: "Why does Uncle Santang talk nonsense with his eyes open, who are we competing with whom?" ”
Master Ning San was angry: "Why don't you kid know how to respect your elders at all?" ”
Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but sneer: "I don't know how to respect my elders? Then let me ask the third cousin, can the third cousin know how to care for the younger generation? When Uncle Santang set up a situation to frame him, he didn't think about the relationship between you and me, but now I am an army of rebels, but he uses blood and kinship to pull a relationship with me, Uncle Santang's abacus is too light, is he really taking me as a fool? ”
Master Ning San wanted to say something, but suddenly, a white marble carriage with gems from the Western Regions on the roof of the car stopped beside Ning Ningqing, Xiao Jingyuan lifted the curtain of the window, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you see the carriage in Miss Ning's house?" Didn't Miss Ning come in her own carriage? It's better to let Xiao send Miss Ning back. ”
Ning Ningqing, who was still angry, immediately smiled, and said to Xiao Jingyuan gently and kindly: "I'm bothering Xiao Gongzi, my cousin sent me here, and I want to go home with my cousin, so I won't bother Xiao Gongzi to send me." ”
Xiao Jingyuan nodded, and did not say another word to Master Ning San, but lowered the curtain without hesitation, and then the white marble carriage inlaid with Western Regions gems on the top of the car immediately grunted and left without looking back.
Ningxia Qing glanced at Master Ning San, and said lukewarmly: "I'm also going to leave, don't bother Uncle Santang to send me." ”
After speaking, Ning Xia Qing boarded the Tan family's carriage with Du Qiutong, who was chasing him from behind, and ordered the carriage to leave the third master's workshop and go directly to Huacaiyuan.
After returning to Huacaiyuan, Du Qiutong pestered Ningxia Qing to talk again, Ningxia Qing dealt with Du Qiutong with a rare good temper, and found out some things from Du Qiutong.
According to the news that Du Qiutong heard, the order was indeed a total of 300,000 taels, but Master Ning San actually only got 100,000 taels now, and the next 200,000 taels have not been paid.
According to the rules of the business field, there are few such situations in ordinary transactions, perhaps because the buyer of this transaction is the imperial court, even if the rules are a little overbearing, Master Ning San can only accept it with a smile, and dare not bargain.
Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but change his mind.
After inquiring about these things, Ning Xia Qing said that the old lady wanted to take a nap, the Cao family was not at home, Zi'er was in the academy, and she was also busy with business, and everyone had no time to greet Du Qiutong, and then she personally invited Du Qiutong out of the gate of Huacaiyuan.
That night, Ningxia Qing was ready to rest.
Cuiyu said while serving Ningxia Qing to freshen up: "Girl, Aunt Du has sent a letter, saying that she has discussed with the owner over there, let the girl wait." ”
Ning Xia Qing nodded, and didn't pay too much attention to Aunt Du's affairs, and said casually: "Well, I know, I'm not in a hurry anyway." ”
Cuiyu took off the only white hosta hairpin on Ningxiaqing's head, and whispered: "Girl, in fact, I wanted to ask during the day, did you forget to let a few more people watch from the second master's side?" ”
Jade lowered her voice and said, "What if...... I mean, in case, if Xiao Gongzi wants to favor the third master, you invite the people of the Xiao family to go to the third master to watch, won't Young Master Zhiqi and Ai Lu suffer? If you want me to say, the girl should ask the second master to send a few more people over to watch......"
Ning Xia Qingqian smiled and said: "If Xiao Gongzi and the third master are really a gang, if Xiao Gongzi really has the heart to secretly help the third master in the past two days, then I will ask the second master to send a few people over to watch, isn't it against Xiao Gongzi?" ”
"......Yes too," Cuiyu muttered: "Since the girl has thought of this, has the girl long suspected that Xiao Gongzi may be in the same group as the third master?" ”
Ning Xia Qing said calmly: "It's not a suspicion. They had already negotiated this deal, and there were a lot of interests involved, Xiao Jingyuan naturally didn't want to easily break up with the third master, this was human nature. ”
Ning Xia Qing explained: "Since the third master can win this list, although it is because of the living sign of the class master, it is indispensable to give Xiao Jingyuan benefits to make some joints. And today, the third master chased him out to send Xiao Jingyuan, in order to coax Xiao Jingyuan to turn a blind eye to today's events, he must have promised a lot of benefits. ”
Ning Xia Qing added: "If I were Xiao Jingyuan, I might not be willing to give up the third master. In terms of financial resources, the second master and I are not the opponent of the third master, and it is better to cooperate with the third master. Therefore, it is indeed possible that Xiao Jingyuan is still biased towards the third master now, but I can't be sure of this at the moment. ”
Cuiyu suddenly laughed, tilted her head and said, "I understand, the reason why the girl didn't send a few people from the second master's side over was also to test Xiao Gongzi's position." ”
Ning Xia Qing nodded with a smile and said, "If Cousin Zhiqi and Ai Lu fail, it means that Xiao Jingyuan is unwilling to give up the fat of the third master." That's okay, the third master said, let me either pay back the silver or hand it over, I can't agree to hand it over, but I can promise to pay 300,000 taels, provided that in front of Xiao Jingyuan, the third master can accept the silver with a face. ”
Cuiyu couldn't help but laugh, and Ning Xia Qing said again: "If everything goes well with Cousin Zhiqi and Ai Lu, it means that Xiao Jingyuan has given up on the third master." ”
Cuiyu smiled and said, "That's fine, it means that Xiao Gongzi is still on the girl's side as always." ”
Ning Xia Qing also smiled, but the smile was not as good as the bottom of his eyes, but seemed to be thoughtful.
What Ning Xia Qing didn't say clearly in front of Cuiyu was that if Xiao Jingyuan stood by her side, it might mean something more dangerous.
It means that Xiao Jingyuan seems to intend to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and Xiao Jingyuan wants to see the internal contradictions of the Ning family intensify.
Two days later, it was a cloudy day.
The weather was gloomy, thick and heavy, and the sky was full of thick, low, grayish-yellow cloudy clouds, and the southwest wind whined and roared, running wildly through the world, as if holding a sharp sword. Even though there is no sun, it is exceptionally hot.
Ning Xia Qing and Xiao Jingyuan both came to the third master's workshop early in the morning, and happened to meet them at the door.
The two walked into the workshop of the third master together, and Ning Xia Qing only felt that the atmosphere here was extremely depressing.
In the workshop of the third master, except for Xiao Jingyuan and Ning Xia Qing, everyone's faces sank like dark clouds in the sky.
Ning Ningqing already knew a little bit in his heart. Xiao Jingyuan said calmly: "Miss Ning really lived up to my expectations this time. ”
Ning Xia Qing smiled and said: "The result should have come out in the middle of the night last night, I don't know if it's good or bad, but Xiao Gongzi hasn't asked the third master about the situation here, but he already knows the result, it seems that Xiao Gongzi is really well-informed." ”
Xiao Jingyuan also smiled and said very cheerfully: "It is related to the business I handle, so I will naturally care more." ”
At this moment, the door of the dyeing room opened from the inside, and his face was pale because of the night, his steps were slightly floating, but his eyes were shining with joy Ai Lu staggered to Ningxia Qing's side from the inside, and gently held Ningxia Qing's hand, but because he didn't sleep all night, his palm was hard and empty, with a slight cry, and he said to Ningxia Qing with a smile: "It's done!" ”
Ningxia Qing was also stunned, although he was sure of it, but in the end he was not completely sure that he could succeed, and now that he got an accurate answer, Ningxia Qing's heart finally settled down. And Ning Zhiqi also walked out of it, and said to Ning Xia Qing with a smile: "Cousin, we succeeded." ”
Ning Ningqing nodded with emotion and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Ai Lu bit her lip and said with admiration: "The eldest girl values love and righteousness, and she rescued Ai Lu, Ai Lu is toothless and unforgettable." ”
Ning Xia Qing smiled at Ai Lu, motioned for Cuiyu to help Ai Lu, who was a little vain, and then, she turned her head and looked at the finished product that Ning Zhiqi and Ai Lu had worked so hard to dye.
The red all over the sky, surrounded by the bitter smell of saffron, makes people seem to be in the incense of the Qionglou Immortal Pavilion, and it is like a mountain flame, like a messy hair like hanging branches and leaves.
Ning Xia Qing looked around again, and saw that the thickest and thickest clouds were shrouded over Ning San's side. The whole sky above them was dark blue, and not a single void in the clouds was white.
She recognized the person with the worst face among them, who seemed to be called Ning Han, Tan Wenshi's nemesis. She immediately looked at Tan Wenshi, to her surprise and not surprise, Tan Wenshi's face did not have any regret or displeasure, on the contrary, Tan Wenshi's face seemed to have an expression like watching a play, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, the craftsman sent by the Xiao family to supervise the work had already finished inspecting the finished product, and the craftsman stood up and said to Xiao Jingyuan with relief: "Childe, the material dyed by this vat of dye in the end is not inferior to the previous material in any way, and even more vivid than the previous one, and the color fixing is also very firm, which is really a good product." ”
Xiao Jingyuan smiled and nodded, and said to Ning Xia Qing: "Miss Ning has impressed Xiao again. Ning Xia Qing also smiled and nodded, but the gaze that looked at Xiao Jingyuan was a little more imperceptible, as if he wanted to see through Xiao Jingyuan and see through the true purpose behind Xiao Jingyuan.
Ning Xia Qing withdrew the searching gaze nailed to Xiao Jingyuan, and instead led the conversation to Master Ning San, saying: "It's not necessary to be impressed, the reason why I worked so hard this time was not to show off, but just because my people caused trouble here with Uncle Santang, I just wanted to make up for Uncle Santang as much as possible." I don't know if Uncle Santang is satisfied with such a result? ”
"Hmph......" Master Ning San gritted his teeth and looked at Ning Ningqing, blowing his beard and glaring, obviously resentful and annoyed to the extreme.
Xiao Jingyuan couldn't help but look at Ning Ningqing with a cunning face, and laughed a few times, and Ningxia Qing also laughed a few times, but the gaze that looked at Xiao Jingyuan was still meaningful. Xiao Jingyuan didn't seem to be aware at all, and only said: "Didn't Miss Ning say that I should consider cooperating with you, it just so happens that I will need a satin in a few months, what does Miss Ning think?" ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder, and Master Ning San's face was a little whiter than just now. On the contrary, Ningxia Qingzhi was complacent, and said with a calm smile: "If Xiao Gongzi has any business in the future, please come to me, as long as it is Xiao Gongzi's list, I will take it seriously, and I will never make such an unpleasant thing as my third cousin." ”
