Ah Zheng was stunned for a moment, obviously startled by her reaction, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ning Ningqing's heart was very sour, so sour that he couldn't speak, stretched out his trembling hand, pulled the fabric of Ah Zheng's chest, and barely stood firm with Ah Zheng's talent.

Ah Zheng noticed her trembling, as if he was afraid that she would fall down at any time, he stretched out his hand to support her elbow, as if he was ready to catch her who might fall at any time, and said sullenly: "If you don't want to say it, just because I didn't ask." ”

She jerked her head up and met Ah Zheng's gaze, tears welling up in her eyes.

Ningxia Qing's heart was surging, and Ah Zheng was so attentive to Ningxia Qing's joys and sorrows that neither of them noticed that someone was standing behind the shadow wall, silently watching all this.

Under the pretext of going to the temple to pray for Ning Yongda's blessing and make a wish, Aunt Du was about to go out with Yinque, but in fact, she was going to Miao Laosan to discuss the opening of a shop for her younger brother.

Just as she walked to the back of the shadow wall, she suddenly noticed the sound of someone talking in front of her, and she hurriedly motioned for the silver bird to hide behind the shadow wall, and looked at Ah Zheng and Ning Xia Qing with resentment.

Aunt Du showed a disdainful expression.

What is the place of business? It's a holy place for silver circulation, and how much ugliness and ugliness is there behind the mountains of silver coins?! A girl who has not been out of the cabinet, rolling in the business field all day long, can she not be dirty? I'm afraid that I have long lost my sense of shame, so I flirted with the guys in the store in broad daylight! Such a lewd slut at a young age!

and Ah Zheng, who flirted with her, is not a good product!

Aunt Du didn't hate Ah Zheng in the first place, after all, this young man was a guy from the Ning family, he was handsome, young and reliable, and Aunt Du even had a little fantasy about him. However, the fact that he was caught raping with Miao Laosan has exhausted all of Aunt Du's good feelings for Ah Zheng!

The current Aunt Du only has hatred for Ah Zheng! I want to peel off his skin and drink his blood! I can't wait to strip him naked in public and parade through the streets! Let him taste the loss of face just like himself that day!

Aunt Du saw Ah Zheng and Ning Ningqing standing together as if they were intimate, and the resentment in her eyes couldn't help but blind her.

Ning Ningqing wiped away his tears, calmed down a lot, and said softly: "Your wolf tooth is still with me, so I'll take it and return it to you." ”

Looking at her fragile state, Ah Zheng said, "No need, you can take it first, there is no urgency in this matter." You ......"

Ah Zheng paused for a moment and confirmed again: "...... Are you really okay? ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded, and suddenly, Ah Zheng suddenly noticed something, looked behind the shadow wall, and his eyes instantly became cold and fierce, which startled Ning Xia Qing.

Ningxia Qinggang was about to say something, Dong Zizhen suddenly ran out of the back door of the shop, shouting as he ran: "Boss, boss, come here, come quickly!" ”

Ningxia Qing and Ah Zheng immediately looked at Dong Zizhen, Dong Zizhen ran over and said: "Boss, I just got the letter, Father-in-law Qin and Master Gu have already gone to the weaving bureau in the county, the situation on the second master's side is grim, hurry up and take a look!" ”

Ningxia Qing's heart was relieved, and he was about to call Zhen Fu to rush over, but Ah Zheng said: "Since you're in a hurry, I'll catch the car, let's rush over as soon as possible." Although Zhen Fu has been hired now, Ah Zheng still often drives cars for Ningxia Qing in person.

Ningxia Qing knew that Ah Zheng was already busy enough, and he had already hired Zhen Fu, if Ah Zheng was still allowed to catch the car, it would seem that while treating Ah Zheng harshly, it would be as if Zhen Fu had taken the silver for nothing, which was easy for others to think that she was treating people unfairly. But she was willing to let Ah Zheng accompany her to go out and out, so she nodded and rushed to the weaving bureau with Ah Zheng and Dong Zizhen.

The incident happened suddenly, and Ningxia Qing didn't have so much heart to take care of the matter of male and female defense, Ningxia Qing directly carried Dong Zizhen's collar, let him enter the carriage with him, and urgently discussed countermeasures on the way to the Weaving Bureau.

In the carriage, Ning Ningqing asked puzzledly, "When did Grandpa Qin and Master Gu come back?" Why didn't there be any wind before? ”

Dong Zizhen clapped his hands and said, "Who said it wasn't!" Just now, someone from the Weaving Bureau suddenly came to inform us, saying that Father-in-law Qin and Master Gu have now arrived at the Weaving Bureau, and they are asking all merchants to go directly. Only then did I know that it turned out that Father-in-law Qin and Master Gu had come to our county yesterday, but they were stunned to cover up this matter tightly, and no one knew that they had come. ”

Ning Xia Qing frowned slightly and groaned: "They went to the county yesterday?" ”

Dong Zizhen nodded: "Yes." Alas...... I also don't understand, since Lord Gu is back, even if he doesn't know the others, he will also know that he will be with us, not to mention that the master and Lord Gu have a deep friendship, after all, Lord Gu still has the shares given to him by the master in his hand, even for the sake of interests, he should say hello to the master in advance. ”

Ning Xia Qing was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Who is there in the Weaving Bureau now?" ”

Dong Zizhen said while thinking about it: "The Weaving Bureau has invited a lot of people from the county chamber of commerce in the name of Gonggong Qin, I am thinking, several masters from this family should have arrived, but the old patriarch of the Ning family will not show up...... That's right! I heard that Qi Gaoyuan from the county chamber of commerce is also there. ”

Ning Xia Qing thought for a moment and asked with some uncertainty: "Qi Plateau?" That steward in the Chamber of Commerce? ”

Dong Zizhen nodded: "Well, he is controlling many things in the Chamber of Commerce. Every year, the Chamber of Commerce will announce the production amount, sales volume and pricing of various types of materials in the year, which must be reported to the imperial court, and the Qi Steward is present for this matter. Moreover, the county weaving bureau sent a job to do it, and it is strange that the Qi manager in charge of the chamber of commerce is not present. ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded, she had a little impression of this Qi Plateau, but she didn't think about it for a while.

Several big horse merchants in the county took the lead in setting up this horse material chamber of commerce, and Qi Gaoyuan was the manager elected by everyone.

The role of Qi Plateau is mainly to balance the interests of several major horse dealers and ensure the prosperity of the leather trade in the county. Although he didn't have the right to say anything, if anyone offended him, it was impossible for him to get mixed up in the leather shop in the county.

Dong Zizhen asked a little nervously: "Boss, can we win this batch of work?" It won't be because of the second master's business, so that Father-in-law Qin is unwilling to accept our family's cage smoke yarn, right? ”

Ning Xia Qing shook his head and said, "According to my information, the matter of the second master should not affect us. By the way, you just said that the situation on the second master's side is grim, what do you mean by that? ”

Dong Zizhen held his hands and replied: "I was about to talk to the owner about this, but before I could find the owner, the people from the Weaving Bureau came, and I forgot to tell you about it." ”

Dong Zizhen said: "Not long ago, the people from the Ministry of Rites went to the workshop again, and they wanted to confiscate all the 'merit consummation' finished satin, a total of more than 2,000 horses!" If it is really confiscated, it will be equivalent to the crime of usurping the imperial power, and the workshop will be completely finished. Of course the second master won't agree, he's grinding with the people of the Ministry of Rites! ”

Dong Zizhen said again: "Later, people from the Ministry of Industry came again, saying that this matter could not be decided, and it was necessary to distinguish and distinguish again." How can you tell the difference between this kind of thing? I can only let the second master finish all the processes of 'merit consummation' satin from silk selection to dyeing. This is the craft secret of the workshop, and of course the second master will not agree, so the workshop is now a pot of porridge! ”

Ning Xia Qing said in a low voice: "It seems that the forces behind it have not yet reached an agreement. ”

"yes." Dong Zizhen echoed: "If the people behind it had really been negotiated, they would have been directly sealed or simply let this matter pass, how could they still be here to talk about it, how could it be possible to give the second master a chance to speak, as long as the government is really settled, the second master and the common people have not been governed well ago, where is there still a chance to speak." ”

Ning Xia Qing understood this truth in her heart, but she had already come over to worry about this kind of thing, she thought about it for a while, and said: "According to my news, the matter of the second master should not affect us, and we should be able to get this job." Once we get this job, it can also prove that in the matter of the second master, the third master was also tricked. ”

Dong Zizhen asked puzzledly: "What do you mean?" Isn't the third master trying to harm the second master? Could it be that someone knows the mind of the third master, so he is fueling the flames in the shadows and pushing the third master to fight the second master, but in fact, he doesn't really want to make the third master happy? So what is this man trying to do? ”

Dong Zizhen couldn't help but laugh and said: "Could it be that it is specifically to tease the third master?" ”

"Of course not." Ning Xia Qing sneered and said angrily, and then Zhengse said: "The reason why the third master is used to fight the second master is to force the second master into a desperate situation, but it is not really to defeat the second master, but to see what hole cards the second master can show in a desperate situation, or rather, in fact, it is to see what hole cards I can show." ”

Dong Zizhen was a little stunned, his expression was a little scared, and he asked anxiously: "Does the master know now who is the person who wants to force us to show our hole cards?" ”

Ning Xia Qing sighed and shook his head in frustration and uneasiness.

She still didn't know who was behind the scenes, so she could only go on according to the bureau arranged by that person.

She is like a clueless pawn, trying to unmask the chess player's face in the chaos.

When she hurried to the weaving bureau, she was still a step too late.

Before I entered the gate of the Weaving Bureau, I saw that many peers had come out of it.

Among the several people led by the Mei shopkeeper, the Mei shopkeeper saw Ning Ningxia Qing who was late, stepped forward with a smile, and said to Ning Xia Qing and Dong Zizhen beside her: "Congratulations." ”

Dong Zizhen and Ning Xia Qing glanced at each other, pretending to know nothing and asked, "What does Shopkeeper Mei mean by this?" Hua Caiyuan was almost the last to get the news, so he came a little late, and he missed the wonderful time, but how could the Mei shopkeeper congratulate us? ”

The shopkeeper Niu who heard this conversation caught up from the side, and said with some displeasure: "Although Ning Dangjia and Dong Shopkeeper came late, they had the best luck, but we unlucky people didn't see the situation clearly, failed to hug Hua Caiyuan's thighs, and missed the opportunity to make a fortune in vain." After saying this, the shopkeeper Niu took the shopkeeper Mei and walked away sullenly, and didn't pay attention to Dong Zizhen's questioning.

And another colleague who was passing by couldn't help muttering sourly: "In the end, Hua Caiyuan is still the most powerful, and the workshop with Ning Er Ye was wiped out before, but now Ning Er has turned over, but Hua Caiyuan can follow the benefits...... You can retreat with your whole body, and you can sit back and enjoy your success......" Dong Zizhen just wanted to refute, but the man walked away indignantly.

Shopkeeper Wu, who had also returned the "merit consummation" to Hua Caiyuan before, also said in a weird manner: "In the end, it is still the luck of the second master Ning, it has fallen to the point of closing the door, and it can still make the court value the 'merit consummation'." Hua Caiyuan is also very powerful, he had a relationship with Ning Er Master before, and he was not affected by Ning Er Master, but now he followed a chicken dog to heaven. ”

Dong Zizhen just wanted to say something, but another person said suspiciously: "It's really strange, Hua Caiyuan has obviously dissociated himself from Ning Er, why did Father-in-law Qin put the 'merit consummation' with Hua Caiyuan again?" ”

The man patted the shoulder of the shopkeeper Wu, and said with disdain: "Old Wu, a small businessman like us who has no ability must not understand how Hua Caiyuan followed the Tao to heaven, okay, let's go back to our shop and wait for death!" After speaking, he pulled the shopkeeper Wu and left.

The rest of the shopkeepers who came out of the weaving bureau did not come forward to talk to the people of Huacaiyuan, and they all lowered their heads in frustration, but they couldn't help but look at Ning Xia Qing and Dong Zizhen sourly.

At this moment, Qi Gaoyuan also walked out of the weaving bureau. Qi Gaoyuan walked straight to Ningxia Qing and Dong Zizhen, and asked politely: "May I ask if the two of you are Ning Dangjia and Dong Shopkeeper of Huacaiyuan?" ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded, and Fu Yifu said: "I am Ning Xia Qing of Huacaiyuan, and this one next to me is Dong Shopkeeper, are you in charge of Qi?" ”

Qi Gaoyuan nodded with a smile, exchanged pleasant words with Ning Xia Qing, and then said politely: "Ning Dangjia was not here just now, so I was ordered by Gonggong Qin to inform Ning Dangjia that among the silk satin purchased from the private sector this year, 'Merit Perfection' ranks first, and I also ask Ning Dangjia to prepare as soon as possible." ”

Qi Gaoyuan arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to Ning for being in charge." I have said that, and I will take my leave. Please also ask Ning to enter the weaving bureau to discuss with Gong Qin in person. After speaking, Qi Gaoyuan saluted Ning Xia Qing again, and then left.

Ningxia Qing asked Dong Zizhen to have a relationship with the shopkeepers, and he was going to the Weaving Bureau. Suddenly, Guan Qi came over and whispered, "Miss Ning, my son-in-law asks you to come over and speak." ”

Ning Ningqing, who was stopped, was just stunned for a moment, not knowing what Gu Xuesong was going to say to herself, but she nodded without hesitation, planning to go over with Guanqi. But at this moment, another little guy came over and said to Ning Xia Qing: "Ning Dangjia, my Xiao Gongzi, please talk about it privately." ”
