Second Master Ning said worriedly: "They probably have about a thousand horses, and I know that the price you gave them is twenty-four taels per horse, which is twenty-four thousand taels." I don't have any money, and you don't have any money, what capital do you have to make this play? ”

Ning Xia Qing just smiled calmly and said, "Regarding the matter of silver, I have my own plans, I will definitely be able to get more than 20,000 taels of silver, and the second cousin doesn't have to worry about this." ”

Second Master Ning quipped: "You can talk big." Okay, I understand what you're going to say, so let's do as you say. ”

Ningxia Qing said: "Wait, I didn't come here this time just for this one thing. ”

The second master asked puzzledly, "What other ideas do you have?" ”

Ningxia Qingwan smiled and said leisurely: "I heard my grandmother talk about something a long time ago. It is said that before the second uncle took over the workshop, the workshop was in the hands of my second uncle, who was not good at running the workshop, and failed again and again, almost losing the workshop completely. Later, the second cousin took over the workshop and scattered all his family wealth to re-prop up the workshop, but is there such a thing? ”

Second Master Ning was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why Ning Xia Qing suddenly mentioned this matter, so he only echoed and said, "It's true." Back then, your second and third uncles were not optimistic about me, and your grandfather had not separated from the Ning clan at that time, and it was your grandfather who ensured that I took over this workshop, so that I could have today. ”

Second Master Ning asked suspiciously, "Why did your grandmother mention this matter to you?" ”

Ningxia Qing lowered his head and said: "When I first took over the shop, I encountered many difficulties. In order to encourage me, my grandmother told me some things about the second cousin when he first took over the workshop. My grandmother told me that when the second uncle first took over the workshop, he also encountered many problems, and the workshop left by the second uncle was a mess itself, and the second uncle was not favored by the clan, but the second uncle survived. ”

Ning Xia Qing sighed: "My grandmother told me that the second cousin had encountered so many difficulties, but he still survived, so I will definitely be able to survive like the second cousin." My grandmother also asked me to get closer to my second cousin and learn more about my second uncle's business policy. ”

Second Master Ning was stunned for a while, and said in a low voice: "If it weren't for your grandfather's protection, I wouldn't have been able to get this workshop, your grandfather has been kind to me, and I haven't been able to repay one or two, I can't imagine that your grandmother can still say such things to you." In the future, if I can help you, I will naturally help you. ”

Ning Ningqing smiled when he heard this, and said: "The second cousin misunderstood, I mentioned the difficult past of the second cousin today, not to repay the second cousin. ”

Second Master Ning was stunned: "Then why did you mention those old things?" ”

Ning Xia Qing said with a smile: "I want the second cousin to remember how much he paid for this workshop back then." The amount of money and effort you have poured into this workshop is unmatched by any other shareholder. ”

Second Master Ning suddenly understood what Ning Ningqing meant, and asked suspiciously: "So you want to say that I have put so much effort into the workshop, but I am holding shares by others, is it to let those people take advantage?" ”

Ning Xia Qing said with a smile: "I heard that many people in the clan have invested in the workshop, and they have never paid anything for the workshop like the second cousin uncle, but they get a large amount of benefits from the workshop every year for no reason, won't the second cousin be unwilling?" ”

Second Master Ning pondered and said, "I understand what you mean, you want me to take back the shares of those people in the clan." In fact, as soon as this incident came out, those people in the clan did come to ask for the withdrawal of shares, but the most important problem at the moment is that I don't have any money to give them at all. ”

Second Master Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think that I am willing to let those lazy people share profits from me?" ”

Second Master Ning's face was full of disdain: "When the workshop was smooth, those people had to buy shares, but now that something happened to the workshop, they were all afraid of catching fire, so they all came to ask for the withdrawal of shares, forcing me to give them the silver." Holding shares is originally a sharing of risks and interests, but when these people encounter something, they are like rats who meet cats, they are all spineless things! ”

Second Master Ning took a sip: "I don't look down on those boneless people at all, and I'm not happy to let them share the profits from me." Do you think that until now, I want to pull them to sink together? If I had any money, I would have given them money and sent them away! Why don't you buy me a clean ear for myself! ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled slightly and asked, "So in the eyes of the second uncle, am I a person with bones?" Would the second cousin be willing to see me holding shares in the workshop? ”

Second Master Ning glanced at her, and snorted coldly: "You, you are cunning, but you are still a little courageous. I'm just talking about the cartilage that rushed to withdraw the shares, not including you. ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled even brighter, and confirmed: "So, the second cousin is willing to let me hold the shares, right?" ”

Second Master Ning snorted coldly and didn't answer, but Ning Xia Qing understood that Second Master Ning was just embarrassed to say. Ning Ningqing didn't care, just smiled and said: "Since the second cousin doesn't look down on those soft bones, and doesn't mind me holding shares, then ask the second cousin to take back the shares in the hands of those people and transfer all the shares to me, how about it?" ”

Second Master Ning frowned and looked at Ning Xia Qing, not believing that Ning Xia Qing's words were true. Ning Ningqing added unhurriedly: "After I accept the shares of those people, I will not take the opportunity to meddle in the business of the workshop, and the business policy of the workshop is still decided by the second cousin alone." The reason why I want to collect more shares is just to get a few more profits at the end of the year."

She added: "Moreover, as long as Uncle Ertang can let me hold some more shares, then when I take back the mulberry garden, the silk produced from my mulberry garden will first be supplied to Uncle Ertang's workshop." Now the second cousin is worried about being stuck by the eldest and third cousins, and cooperating with me can save the second cousin from worrying. ”

Second Master Ning, who was stunned for a long time, then spoke: "You want to buy shares?" It's such a time, when everyone else is busy withdrawing shares, you actually ask for shares? ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded: "Second cousin heard it right, I do want to buy shares." I only have one condition, that is, not to let others know that I have bought the shares that have been withdrawn. I will give the second cousin the money, and let the second cousin take back the shares from others, and then you and I will complete the transfer of shares privately. ”

Second Master Ning was silent for a moment, and said in disbelief: "You want to buy shares now, do you see that the workshop will be profitable?" To be honest, even I don't have this self-confidence, and I don't even dare to say that the workshop will survive this incident. How do you have such faith? ”

Ningxia Qingguan smiled and said, "I don't have this confidence, but I will try my best." ”

Second Master Ning frowned and said, "Since you are not completely sure, why do you take this risk?" Do you know that if you lose, you will be ruined and there will be no way back? ”

Ning Xia Qing said calmly: "But once I win, there will be a smooth road after that." ”

Ning Ningqing's expression was still calm, but her eyes exuded a strange brilliance, she said calmly but ambitiously: "In business, there has never been a sure profit or loss, the greater the risk, the greater the benefit, this is the unbreakable truth." ”

Second Master Ning frowned and warned: "You insist on doing this yourself, if you lose the bet, you can't blame me." ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded calmly: "I am willing to gamble and lose, I understand this truth." ”

Second Master Ning couldn't help but say playfully: "You do have a bit of courage, this courage and responsibility are quite similar to your grandfather." However, I am curious, where did you get the money to buy shares? ”

Ning Xia Qing just smiled faintly: "I said, I have my own plans about the silver, and the second cousin doesn't have to worry about me at all." ”

Walking out of the workshop, the afternoon sun was as bright as water.

Ning Xia Qing only felt that his every step was on the mist, and under the mist was a continuous ice surface. She couldn't see whether there was a benefit or a risk behind the fog, she didn't know if the ice was on the verge of shattering, she didn't know if she would fall into the cold depths of the lake in the next moment.

Since she took the helm of the house, one difficulty after another has come and finally forced her to this point.

Since she dares to gamble, she is not afraid of losing.

Cuiyu asked worriedly: "Girl, I know that I may be asking nonsense, but I still want to say, have you really thought about it, do you want to collect the shares of the workshop at such a time?" Are you really ...... Don't think about it anymore? ”

"Don't think about it anymore." Ning Xia Qing shook his head and said softly. She lifted the curtain slightly, and looked greedily at the good scene outside, if the next moment she was about to sink into the cold depths of the lake, this moment of scenery would become extraordinarily precious.

Since she dared to gamble, she must have prepared her backhand.

Just this morning, she had already prepared a backup move for the old lady, the Cao family, and Zi'er in a hurry. If she loses, she will bear all the consequences, and she will let the old lady, Cao's and Zi'er all get out of the country and have no worries for the rest of their lives.

Suddenly, the carriage jolted, and the new coachman Zhen Fu immediately confessed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Boss, I didn't notice the right side, let the right wheel hit the stone! ”

"It's okay, let's keep catching the car." Ning Xia Qing didn't mean to blame at all, but said very calmly.

Speaking of which, when it came to the abyss now, she was too calm, and even she didn't expect that she could be so peaceful and calm.

It's as if excitement and calm are of the same origin. When her heartstrings are tense to the extreme, it is also when she is calm to the extreme.

Zhen Fu is a new driver. Now Hua Caiyuan's business is getting busier and busier, and Ah Zheng has taken over the treasury from Gu Feng, Ningxia Qing is afraid that Ah Zheng will not be busy, so he asked Dong Zizhen to find another coachman, and Dong Zizhen found this Zhen Fu. Zhen Fu has only been here for a few days, and it just so happens that Ah Zheng is not here today, so Zhen Fu will catch the car.

Ah Zheng was sent to Liuyang County by Ningxia Qing.

In a Fengya restaurant in Liuyang County, Ah Zheng, who came alone, sat opposite Gu Xuesong, carrying all the hopes of Ningxia Qing.

After Ah Zheng told Gu Xuesong about the problem in Liu'an County, he actually toasted Gu Xuesong three glasses of wine for the first time.

The Tongsheng gin of the Northland smells so bad that it flows down the throat like a knife scraping the intestines.

Gu Xuesong looked at Ah Zheng and drank three cups without hesitation, his expression was blank for a moment, but he didn't return the salute, just frowned, muttered for a while, and said in a low voice: "Gonggong Qin will not leave Chengsong County for a while, I have to entertain here, and I really can't go back to Meigong County now." ”

Ah Zheng lowered his head and asked, "Since Master Gu can't go back in person, is there any other way to help our girl?" ”

Gu Xuesong said while thinking about it: "The competition between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry is bound to have a result, no matter which result it is, I am afraid that the workshop will not be able to escape the end of becoming a sacrifice of struggle." At the moment, I hope that Miss Ning can stop, stop the loss in time, and stop being dragged down by the workshop anymore. ”

Gu Xuesong returned a toast and said tentatively, "You better go and persuade Miss Ning to stop." As long as Miss Ning stops, I will protect her from being implicated in the slightest. ”

Ah Zheng said in a deep voice: "My girl doesn't want to stop. ”

Gu Xuesong suddenly smiled when he heard this, and said: "Lord Cen of the Ministry of Rites is a new official, and he is busy eliminating dissidents and establishing official authority, even if I speak, I can't control anything." ”

Ah Zheng didn't bother at all, he still lowered his head slightly and asked, "Master Gu, is there any other way?" ”

Gu Xuesong lowered his eyes and smiled, unhurriedly opened the bag he was carrying, took out a letter from it, handed it to Ah Zheng, and said warmly: "This is a letter written by me, you ask her to show it to Xiao Jingyuan, Xiao Jingyuan has connections in the Ministry of Industry, and with Xiao Jingyuan's help, this matter may take a turn for the better." As for Grandpa Qin's side, I will help her out. ”

Ah Zheng took the letter with both hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Gu." ”

Gu Xuesong suddenly said, "I have already seen the Yelu Technique. ”

Ah Zheng raised his head suddenly, facing Gu Xuesong's meaningful gaze.

A few days later, officials sent by the Ministry of Industry officially intervened in the investigation of Zhehuang's case, and Ning Er was called to interrogate from left to right.

As for Hua Cai Yuan, because he had returned all the "merits to the workshop", he was not implicated in this matter. Hua Cai Yuan is still open to do business, in the workshop wind and rain to the extreme, Hua Cai Yuan is booming, this former and the workshop of the front of the shop seems to have been broken off with the workshop overnight.

Ningxia Qing, who was criticized for this, stayed at home honestly and did not appear in front of everyone for several days. When she went out again, she went straight to the gate of Wansheng.

Xiao Jingyuan was not surprised by her arrival, but when she said that she was going to borrow as much as 98,000 taels of silver, Xiao Jingyuan was still stunned.

Xiao Jingyuan's expression seemed to be crying and laughing, and he wasn't even angry, he just felt unbelievable, but before he could say anything about refusal, Ning Xia Qing, who was standing in front of him, slowly opened a brocade box, and Xiao Jingyuan was shocked by the contents of the brocade box.

Xiao Jingyuan frowned and was puzzled: "Why is this string of East China Sea pearls in your hand?" ”

Ning Xia Qing just said calmly: "This is given to me by Concubine Xiao, Concubine Xiao said, if I am in need, I will take this string of pearls to the Xiao family, no matter what conditions I have, the Xiao family will satisfy me." If Xiao Gongzi doesn't believe it, you can ask Mrs. Gu to see if there is such a thing. ”

Xiao Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Since you can get this string of beads, I naturally won't doubt you." ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled slightly, closed the brocade box, and handed over Gu Xuesong's handwritten letter.
