After being stopped by Xiao Jingyuan's servant, Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but stop.

Ning Xia Qing looked at Guanqi quite meaningfully, then changed his expression and looked at Xiao Jingyuan's little servant, and then asked with a smile: "Xiao Gongzi is also here?" ”

The little guy said: "My son-in-law's carriage is parked aside, waiting for Ning Dangjia to come over and speak." Following the little guy's gaze, Ning Xia Qing saw a white marble carriage inlaid with Western Gems on the roof, needless to say, it was Xiao Jingyuan's carriage, Xiao Jingyuan must be waiting for her inside.

Before Ning Xia Qing could speak, Guan Qi suddenly rushed to say, "Miss Ning, my son-in-law has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Ning Xia Qing looked at the two little guys, lowered her eyebrows slightly, and only felt that it was inappropriate to see anyone, she looked at Ah Zheng behind her slightly, Ah Zheng immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Look, the second master is over there." ”

Following Ah Zheng's gaze, she saw the second master Ning coming out of the weaving bureau, it turned out that the second master was actually in the weaving bureau, she thought that the second master was entangled by the people of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry in the workshop, it seems that the arrival of Father-in-law Qin rescued the second master from the chaos and disputes in the workshop. She shouted to the second master from afar: "Second uncle." ”

Second Master Ning also saw Ningxia Qing, beckoned Ningxia Qing to come over, and Ningxia Qing immediately smiled apologetically at the two little guys and said, "I'm sorry, my parents asked me to come over to talk, and I lost my company first." When he arrives, he will come to visit Xiao Gongzi and Master Gu. ”

This reason is completely sufficient, and the two little guys can't say anything more, so they can only go to their own lives with a little regret.

Guanqi returned to the black nanmu carriage and replied to Gu Xuesong.

"Got it, let's go back." Gu Xuesong's voice came out of the carriage, and then, the carriage slowly drove away from the weaving bureau, and when it slowly drove by, the voice was lonely and monotonous, slowly pressing over the remaining snow on the side of the road, and the coachman led the horse, watching chess and walking with the carriage, adding a bit of poignant melancholy to the scene.

In the carriage, Gu Xuesong took out two waist rings from the brocade bag on the cuffs.

One of them was red, made of red thread, wearing cinnabar strings, and the woman from many, many years ago always wore a similar red waist ring, and the slightest color was tied around the waist, and the charm came out of the bones through the skin, like the best of the best, but that kind of beauty has long since become the sound of the muddy past.

The other is cyan, which is the style that is fashionable among the women of today's noble families. The bottom of the white line is dressed in the emerald green jade, the heroic and clear, the immortal Zhuo Zhuo, put it in front of you, the changing light passes through the green jade, it is like a jade tree piling up snow, and it seems to dissolve the cold moon.

He stared at the two women's waist rings in his hands for a long time, the look in his eyes was extremely complicated, and the red waist rings seemed to be firmly tied to all his darkness, so that he could no longer be free and peaceful, and he didn't know how to face the cyan of such a fairy talent.

Gu Xuesong was silent for a while, carefully put the two waist rings together and received them in the bag he carried.

Rejecting the invitation of the two little guys, Ning Xia Qing and Ah Zheng walked side by side in the direction of Ning Er's master.

Ning Xia Qing asked Ah Zheng in a low voice: "You said, Xiao Gongzi and Master Gu came to me at the same time, could it be a coincidence?" ”

Ah Zheng didn't speak, just thought about it silently, obviously feeling that this matter was really a little strange.

Ning Ningqing turned to sigh and said, "Although I expected this time, I didn't expect something to go wrong. Obviously, it was said that it was good, and the workshop of the second master Ning came forward to carry this reputation, and Hua Caiyuan was not exposed on the surface, but listening to the meaning of those shopkeepers just now, Grandpa Qin still mentioned the name of our Hua Caiyuan, which is really strange. ”

Ah Zheng also whispered, "Yes." I thought that the second master would bear this reputation, but afterwards he said that because of the previous cooperative relationship, the second master chose to continue to cooperate with Hua Caiyuan, and also asked Hua Caiyuan to give the title of 'Merit Perfection', and others would only think that the second master did not care about the relationship between us and him before. ”

Ning Xia Qing said again: "In order to achieve this purpose, I even lied in front of my grandmother and mother, just to hide it from everyone, so that this lie can seem like a drop of water." But Father-in-law Qin mentioned us, and now the scenes we did before were all done in vain, and others must have guessed that we and the second master were just pretending to draw a clear line. ”

Ah Zheng couldn't help but say suspiciously: "On the surface, we have already drawn a clear line with the second master and the 'consummation of merit', so how can Gonggong Qin still associate the 'consummation of merit' with Hua Caiyuan?" Someone must have known that we were still in contact with the second master, and told Father-in-law Qin, who mentioned Huacaiyuan by the way when mentioning 'merit consummation'. ”

Ning Xia Qing sighed and said, "No matter what, this scene didn't work out in the end, it will only make those people more wary of me." You heard what the shopkeepers said just now, and they were very dissatisfied. ”

Ah Zheng was also a little worried and said: "Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and from now on, there will only be more people's eyes on Hua Caiyuan." We have benefited this time, but we have offended many of our peers, and those people must hate us in their hearts, and they don't know how they will deal with us in the future. ”

As they spoke, the two of them had already walked in front of Second Master Ning, and they also tacitly stopped at the same time.

Ning Xia Qing smiled, and was about to ask Second Master Ning for details, but Second Master Ning, who was in a hurry, spoke first: "Hurry up and go in, Grandpa Qin is already waiting for you inside." ”

Second Master Ning also whispered: "Many people are getting close to Grandpa Qin inside, and your third cousin is also among those people, we have to go in quickly, we can't fall behind your third cousin." ”

As soon as Ningxia Qing heard this, he entered the weaving bureau with the second master, and met in the weaving bureau for a while, and when he left the weaving bureau, noon was coming, Ningxia Qing and Ning Er's old man said goodbye, and went back to Huacaiyuan.

On the way back, Dong Zizhen and Ah Zheng sat on the wheel together, Dong Zizhen was so happy, since Ningxia Qing came back from Liuyang County, I really haven't seen Dong Zizhen so happy!

Dong Zizhen couldn't even hide a smile in his voice: "Master, we really have a good fight now!" I'll count the number of the housekeepers......"

Dong Zizhen sat on the wheel, and said while breaking his fingers: "First of all, the workshop was almost closed, but it still came smoothly!" The owner can hold the shares of the workshop in his hands, and now the workshop has come over safely, and the owner will sit and wait for the workshop to send us money every year, which is really happy! ”

Dong Zizhen said happily: "Second, 'Merit Consummation' used to be only popular in our county, but now it is included in the queue of imperial court procurement, and it will be popular all over the world in the future, and it has been recognized by the imperial court, and it will only be more popular than before!" Just rely on a 'merit consummation', and we can eat and drink without worrying about this year! ”

Dong Zizhen said with pleasure: "Moreover, those fakes before made us helpless, but now, in order to avoid being affected, those fakes have changed their names one by one, so let's bother!" What's more, the 'merit consummation' was included in the queue of imperial court procurement, that is, it was officially certified, and if others dared to buy fakes, the government would not agree! ”

Ning Ningqing's voice from the carriage was calm: "It's still quite cold now, you can't stop talking, but I'm not afraid of the wind in my stomach." ”

Dong Zizhen smiled indifferently: "I have rough skin and thick meat, and it's okay to irrigate the wind!" Just take a few sips of hot tea and you're all set! The point is that I'm happy! ”

Ning Ningqing said with some concern: "Although this incident has passed without danger, it doesn't mean that we can sit back and relax." First of all, there are a lot of 'merits' that Father-in-law Qin wants, and I don't know if the second master can drive out these goods, and the delivery time required by the imperial court must not be delayed. ”

Ning Xia Qing calculated: "Second, when I borrowed money from Xiao Gongzi, I promised to give Xiao Gongzi a profit when I sold the 'Merit Perfection' in the future, so our profits were relatively thin." Moreover, if the 'merit consummation' is really popular, there will only be more aspects that we need to do, and that is also a lot of expenses. ”

Ning Ningqing concluded: "Therefore, although the 'merit consummation' is popular, it does not mean that we can earn a lot with the 'merit consummation'. Speaking of which, we still have to manage that batch of cage tobacco yarn well, for Hua Caiyuan, although the most famous thing for us is 'merit completion', but the most profitable thing for us is actually the cage tobacco yarn. ”

Dong Zizhen suddenly asked: "Fortunately, the head of the house has imported a lot of cage tobacco yarn from the Huang family's workshop before, and the cage tobacco yarn in our warehouse can survive this period of time." When the cage smoke yarn is on fire, the second master's workshop should also finish the batch of 'merits and merits' that Qin Gonggong wants, and then you can let the second master produce the cage smoke yarn, isn't it just right? ”

Ningxia Qingdao: "The news of the cage smoke yarn has spread in the industry, and it is estimated that it will not be long before ordinary people will know about it, so the cage smoke yarn will soon become popular." Even if we have inventory in the warehouse, I'm afraid it won't last long, and we have to supply it in time from the second master, in short, the pressure on the workshop will be very great. ”

"Yes, in terms of time, the workshop will indeed be more tight." Dong Zizhen said: "Since this is the case, I will urge the second master if I have nothing to do, look at him, and let him hurry up." ”

Although Dong Zizhen couldn't see it, Ning Xia Qing nodded unconsciously, and instructed: "Well, you go and urge more." The second old man is serious, sometimes it is easy to drill the tip of the horns, you go to urge the point, save him in case he drills the tip of the horns, it will delay the construction period. ”

Ning Xia Qing instructed again: "You will prepare some gifts for a while, and send them to the people around Gonggong Qin and the people from the Weaving Bureau." Be careful not to miss anyone, lest you make enemies when you don't even know it. As for what to send, you can grasp this proportion. ”

Dong Zizhen hehehe: "Even if I don't say it, I plan to start preparing for this when I go back to the store in a while." ”

Ning Xia Qing also smiled: "You are thoughtful, but you can make me worry a lot less." ”

At this moment, the carriage stopped at the door of Ning's house on Xu Ning Street.

Ning Xia Qing got out of the carriage, and suddenly thought of something, so he asked Ah Zheng: "I have too many worries these days, and I don't have time to entertain Brother Yelu, has he already left?" ”

Ah Zheng shook his head and said, "No, he won't leave until tomorrow." ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded and said, "Then you go to see him tonight, and it can be regarded as sending him off." ”

Ning Ningqing took out the silver and gave it to Ah Zheng and said, "I don't have time to entertain him in person, you can't excuse him for this thought." You take this money to find a good restaurant and invite Brother Yelu to have a good drink. By the way, tell him that the 'Merit Consummation' is fine, and if he is still willing to ask for it, you will take him to the second master to pull more than 900 horses of the 'Merit Consummation'. ”

Ning Xia Qing walked into the shop again, took out the silver ticket, asked Ah Zheng to put it away, and said: "If he has already collected enough material in Meigong County and doesn't want to ask for the more than 900 horses with 'merit consummation', you can return the silver he advanced for me before." ”

Ah Zheng nodded, thought about it, and suddenly said: "When I went to see him a few days ago, I listened to what he meant, he seems to want to collect some patterned satin more now, I will bring him to our shop to choose, and when the time comes, I will directly hand over to the shopkeeper Dong, and I won't bother you." ”

Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but smile lightly.

At this moment, Jade hurriedly came out of the inner courtyard.

Cuiyu hurriedly said, "The girl is back." ”

"What's wrong?" Ningxia Qing was puzzled: "Something happened?" ”

Cuiyu pursed her lips and said, "In short, the old lady and the lady are waiting for the girl to eat together, and the second girl and Xiaobao are also back." ”

"Zi'er and Xiaobao are back?" Ning Xia Qing frowned slightly: "Don't you have to go to the academy in the afternoon?" How did you get back? ”

The jade hung its head, as if there was something unspeakable. Ningxia Qing asked Gu Feng to take Xiaobao home first, and then followed Cuiyu into the inner courtyard.

Entering the inner courtyard, Ning Xia Qing suddenly stood still at the shadow wall.

Ning Xia Qing looked at Cuiyu with a worried face and said, "You talk about it here, what's going on in the academy?" ”

Cuiyu pursed her lips, and when she saw that there was no one around, she whispered: "There was an accident at the academy, and the second girl and Xiaobao went home early because of this." The second girl and Xiaobao were fine, but Shuangxi's face was scratched. The second girl and Double Happiness are in the old lady's house. ”

Ning Xia Qing immediately frowned, pulled Cuiyu and went to the old lady's house.
