As Ning Xia Qing and others expected, Master Ning San began to fight a price war with her, as a revenge for being robbed of the Phoenix grass and tree dyeing order.

Master Ning San has a very high status in the Chamber of Commerce, and he has mediated in many ways, and he has united many merchants to reduce the price together, and this price reduction is specifically for Huacaiyuan, because all the materials for price reduction are also sold in Huacaiyuan, and the materials that are not available in Huacaiyuan have not been reduced.

The magnitude of this price reduction is simply a loss at a loss. Hua Caiyuan is just a small shop, which is collectively squeezed by almost the whole county's peers, and it is weak and fighting alone, how can the little arms be twisted over the thighs? Hua Cai Yuan will only be consumed before his peers die.

And the price reduction can also be publicized, so that the news of the price reduction of the material almost spread throughout the industry, those who buy the material naturally know about the price reduction, and naturally they are all running to cheaper shops, and no one comes to Huacaiyuan to buy materials.

No one came to Huacaiyuan, and everyone in Huacaiyuan was happy to be quiet.

In the days when there were no outsiders in the store, Dong Zizhen held a cup of tea, quenched his thirst and said with some worry: "I don't know when this price war will end, alas, if this price war doesn't end for a day, Huacaiyuan won't be able to open for a day." ”

Ning Xia Qing answered calmly: "What's the hurry?" Wouldn't it be a good idea to take a break? ”

Dong Zizhen hehehe: "Yes, anyway, the owner has already told me that there is no need to rush to buy, we have no inventory, and the shop is our own, so we don't have to worry about paying rent, it's a big deal, let's close the door and rest by ourselves." What's more, if we don't do anything, the 'merit consummation' and phoenix grass dyeing on the second master's side can earn us money. ”

Dong Zizhen smirked again and whispered: "However, I still hope that the price war will end soon, and we can open it sooner, and make a little more money." ”

Ning Xia Qing chuckled, and then asked, "I asked you to go to Jiucheng Lane to inquire about the news, did you inquire?" ”

Dong Zizhen nodded and said continuously: "I inquired, anyway, Huacaiyuan is idle day by day, so I will run to Jiucheng Lane several times a day." ”

Dong Zizhen took a sip of tea, and said in a leisurely manner: "Last time, almost all the goods in our inventory were pulled away by the shopkeeper Du, and then we never bought again, and now the price war has started, we have not suffered, and the shopkeeper Du is miserable......"

"The purchase price of the shopkeeper Du is the same as ours, they have no room to follow the price reduction, and now they have accumulated goods in the warehouse and cannot sell them." Dong Zizhen couldn't help but smack his lips: "It's so miserable......"

"Okay, don't be stupid." Ningxia Qing said angrily: "You pay attention to the price, and when it comes to the cost price, it will be time for us to buy the goods." ”

Dong Zizhen's eyes were round, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Are we going to buy goods?" Why don't we wait for the price war to end before buying? What should I do if I can't sell the goods if I buy them now? ”

"Don't worry." Ning Ningqing looked at the sky outside and said: "Autumn is coming, and when autumn comes, there will be a silk market, so why worry about the way to ship at that time?" ”

"Okay!" Dong Zizhen got up and straightened his sleeves, and said, "Anyway, there is no business in the shop, and I can't sit still, so I'll go outside to see what prices they have dropped." After speaking, Dong Zizhen went out.

After Dong Zizhen went out, Ah Zheng came from the warehouse, glanced at Ning Xia Qing, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Ning Xia Qing was slightly stunned, suddenly frowned, his face was full of melancholy, he sighed, and said uneasily: "I just don't understand, why hasn't the third master moved?" The third master is not the kind of person who can be willing to suffer, and it is better for Tan Wenshi to be eaten by Tan Wenshi if he doesn't quit, but why hasn't the third master moved? ”

Ah Zheng asked, "What do you think?" ”

Ning Xia Qing suddenly smiled coldly and said: "We want to be fishermen, and the other side may also want to be fishermen, this price war may not only be aimed at me." Now that the third master and Tan Wenshi are obviously separated from Germany, but there is still no gunsmoke, it is likely that the war was ignited in another way. ”

Ah Zheng understood what Ning Xia Qing meant, and nodded slightly: "You mean, with the temperament of the third master, he will not be willing to suffer losses, and the reason why he did not deal with Tan Wenshi on the surface, it is likely that he is dealing with Tan Wenshi in other ways, such as setting a trap on Tan Wenshi in this price war?" ”

"The timing of these two events collided and I had to think like this." Ningxia Qing said in a deep voice.

I heard that Master Ning San handed over almost everything to Tan Wenshi, and this price war must have been led by Tan Wenshi.

However, what made Ning Ningqing incomprehensible was why Tan Wenshi was willing to fall for it? Since Tan Wenshi secretly stepped on Master Ning San, he must have been prepared for the other party's possible retaliation, so Tan Wenshi should be careful step by step now, but why did he listen to Master Ning San so much?

Ning Xia Qing didn't think that Tan Wenshi was a person who was loyal to the third master of Ning and the third master of Ning. The word loyalty is a joke on Tan Wenshi.

But if it weren't for loyalty, Ning Xia Qing couldn't imagine the reason why Tan Wenshi still obeyed the orders of Ning San at such a time. Unless, Master Ning San still has any bargaining chips for Tan Wenshi, and this condition is extremely tempting for Tan Wenshi, so that Tan Wenshi knows that it may be a trap, but he is still willing to take a risk.

What will be the tempting conditions? Ningxia Qing may not be unaware.

Ning Ningqing suddenly felt very irritable, and only felt that he was not sitting or standing. As early as when she was in Liuyang County, she was aware of this, but it was precisely because she was aware of it that she felt even more bored.

Ah Zheng was standing opposite her and suddenly asked, "Are you going to go out for a walk?" ”

Going for a walk? It's a strange request, but when you think about it, it's a perfect fit. Anyway, there is no business in the store, and she has always been busy, and she hasn't gone to the green for a long time, although it is summer, it is early past the time to enjoy the spring, but going out for a walk is still a good way to relax your mind. She nodded, "Okay." ”

The two walked out of the shop, she stood at the door in a daze, still uncomfortable, only to see Ah Zheng from the alley next to him to lead the carriage out, she was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't want to take the car, I want to walk by myself." ”

"Well, then you wait for me." Ah Zheng nodded, and then led the carriage back, and when he set up the carriage and came back, Ning Xia Qing was still standing at the door waiting for him.

In the middle of summer, the sun is rampant almost every day, but recently it is always cloudy, and there is a possibility of heavy rain falling at all times, dark clouds obscuring the sky, and the whole world is free from the gray and dangerous meaning. In such a hot summer, it makes people feel a little cold.

The sky was white, and that pale color stretched to the other end of the sky, and the houses lining the streets seemed to have been ground into the most terrible beasts of the flood, roaring and tearing at the cumulus clouds like lead in despair. The sky is like a blurred eye, such a sky is too thick and too heavy.

And under the blue and white sky, the clouds were very dark, and the dark clouds seemed to be pressed down, black and pressing. It wasn't raining at the moment, but the violent feeling was still flooding, cries out for relief. There is a deafening thunder and blinding lightning.

"Ah Zheng, I heard that for men, what you can't get is always the best." She suddenly sighed and asked knowingly, "I don't know if this is true." ”

Ah Zheng pondered for a moment before saying, "For some people, this is the case. Because there are thousands of possibilities for what you can't get, and people who are not greedy enough can put all kinds of fantasies on it. And what you get in your hands can only slowly decay over time. ”

She sneered slightly: "It's really greedy." ”

Ah Zheng suddenly felt a little compassionate: "Well, however, it may just be a kind of joy in suffering, maybe it is just self-comfort." Then he said, "But I won't, because I don't like to lie to myself, and now that I know it's just a fantasy, I don't think about it anymore." ”

Ning Xia Qing didn't expect Ah Zheng to say such a sentence, so he couldn't help but stop slightly, stunned in place, squinted his eyes slightly, and showed a serious thinking expression.

Just then, a plain carriage with a willow wood body stopped in front of her.

She couldn't help but look over, with a little doubt and vigilance in her expression. Apparently the carriage was coming for her, and apparently she did not know the carriage.

Immediately, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside, and the person who showed her head was an old steward beside the patriarch of the Ning clan, and Ning Xia Qing felt that this person was very trusted by the patriarch.

Immediately, the old patriarch glanced at her slightly, and when he saw Ah Zheng beside her, he hesitated slightly, then got out of the carriage, and then said, "Young girl, let's go, let's go to the teahouse to talk." As he spoke, he walked to a teahouse on the side of the road with "Yongchuan Teahouse" hanging on it.

Ning Xia Qing was a little dazed, but also followed. This Yongchuan tea house is not luxurious, but it is extremely elegant and clean. The patriarch and Ning Xia Qing entered the small private room on the upper floor, and Ning Ningqing, who looked puzzled, couldn't help but speak first: "The third uncle came to me on purpose?" ”

The patriarch nodded and said, "I was going to look for you in Huacaiyuan, but I didn't expect to meet you on the road." As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at Ah Zheng beside her.

Ah Zheng immediately said to Ning Xia Qing: "I'll wait for you outside." Then he got up and went out.

As soon as Ah Zheng left, Ning Xia Qing said to the patriarch: "His name is Ah Zheng, I trust him very much, there is no need for the third uncle to drive him away." ”

"I didn't chase him, he left on his own." The patriarch obviously didn't want to entangle this issue with her, so he moved the topic bluntly: "I heard that your business has not been doing well recently?" ”

Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't expect the patriarch to come for this matter, he froze slightly, and said in disbelief: "The third uncle came to me specifically for this?" ”

The patriarch of the Ning clan looked serious and said seriously: "I'm here to ask you, can you survive this time?" Can you bear the pressure that the third child gives you? Do you need me to help you? ”

Ningxia Qing felt more and more strange.

When the patriarch asked her to go to the family's mansion before, he offered to help her bear the revenge of Master Ning San, but at that time, Ning Xia Qing felt that the patriarch Bacheng was just trying to force her to hand over Ning Wangping's notes, so he allowed her this.

But today, why did the patriarch say the same thing again? Could it be that the patriarch is not dead set on and wants to force her to hand over Ning Wangping's notes?

Ning Xia Qing was naturally reluctant to agree, so he frowned slightly, and said unkindly: "Thank you for the kindness of the third uncle, but I don't think that my current situation is so bad that I need the help of the third uncle." If the third uncle has nothing else to do, I will not accompany him again. I also hope that the third uncle will not mention this to me again in the future. Then he got up and left.

"Stop!" The patriarch of the Ning clan drank violently and reprimanded unhappily: "If you don't finish listening, you will leave, when will you be able to change your impatience?" If you don't have this concentration at all, won't you suffer in the business in the future?! ”

Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but stand slightly, not because she was frightened by the patriarch's shouts, but because she suddenly felt that the patriarch might not have malicious intentions.

Could it be that she misunderstood?
