Chapter 83
I heard that Jin Junmei of the Drunken Flower Pavilion has a unique flavor, and I came here to taste this kind of words, no one will believe it.
It turned out that Ningxia Qing had already found foreign aid, no wonder when Ning Zhiheng questioned Ning Ningqing just now, Ningxia Qing was so calm, and even had a faint sarcastic smile.
Tan Wenshi glanced at the people around and observed the expressions of those people.
Some of the older stewards had already recognized Xiao Jingyuan, the boss of Wansheng, and they all swept away the complacent and confident just now, and turned into a shocked and unbelievable face.
But except for Tan Wenshi, no one had ever seen Gu Xuesong, they just saw that this luxuriously dressed Gu Xuesong was definitely not an ordinary person, and they all showed confused and fearful looks.
And the expressions of those people looking at Ning Ningqing also became extremely complicated, both incredulous and indignant. glanced at Ningxia Qing with a stunning complexion, and then at Xiao Jingyuan and Gu Xuesong, and then showed a look of disdain, obviously speculating on the relationship between Ningxia Qing and those two nobles, as if only in this way could the resentment in the hearts of those people be dissipated.
Tan Wenshi was also puzzled why Ningxia Qing was able to invite Xiao Jingyuan and Gu Xuesong. Just as Tan Wenshi frowned and thought deeply, an elderly steward sitting behind him picked up the teapot and got up and walked towards Xiao Jingyuan.
The old housekeeper walked up to Xiao Jingyuan, his face was 120,000 flattering, and while reaching for Xiao Jingyuan's cup, he said respectfully, "Xiao Gongzi, don't come to harm." β
Xiao Jingyuan quietly removed his cup, ignoring the steward at all.
Tan Wenshi sighed in his heart when he saw the steward who had slipped back from the ashes.
He knew that people with an identity like Xiao Jingyuan would not pay attention to everyone, not only because of his own identity, but also because there were too many people who wanted to flatter, and Xiao Jingyuan didn't have the time to deal with them one by one.
In the entire Ning family, the only people who can talk to Xiao Jingyuan are those masters. This made Tan Wenshi more and more puzzled, how did Ningxia Qing invite a noble person like Xiao Jingyuan?
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses downstairs, and then there was a woman's screaming scolding, and before everyone could react, there was already the sound of someone running up the stairs on the stairs outside the door, and then, a young woman pushed the door open with a "bang", and rushed in without saying a word.
Although the woman's complexion is inferior to Ningxia Qing, she is also a delicate and lovely girl, with luxurious clothes and ornaments, and a haughty look, at first glance, she is from a rich background, Ning Zhiheng immediately greeted her with a smile: "The girl doesn't know, this private room has been booked, dare to ask the girl what she is doing in the Drunken Flower Pavilion?" Is it looking for someone or drinking tea? If the girl does not dislike it, she is willing to serve the girl as a dog and horse......"
Ning Zhiheng didn't speak, the woman had already crossed in front of Ning Zhiheng as if she hadn't heard it at all, walked straight to Xiao Jingyuan's case, and shouted, "Brother! β
This "brother" has already revealed the identity of this woman, everyone is shocked, Ning Zhiheng's expression is even more embarrassed to reveal that he dares to be angry and dare not speak, rubbing his hands and looking around, I happened to see Ah Zheng who walked in at this time, looked at Ah Zheng's dress, Ning Zhiheng immediately scolded angrily: "What kind of thing are you, dare to break in casually?" It's got covered, get out! β
Ah Zheng didn't even look at Ning Zhiheng, as if he hadn't heard it, he walked straight behind Ning Ningqing.
When Ah Zheng stood up, the woman immediately glared at Ah Zheng angrily.
Xiao Jingyuan asked helplessly: "What are you doing here?" β
"I want the pass waist card of the horse fang!"
Xiao Jingyuan's face was full of helplessness: "What do you want that?" Didn't you take the maid out again today? A girl's family, how can you go out without taking someone, how many times have the family told you about this? β
Xiao Jinru said confidently: "I came out with you, who else do I need to bring?" You give me the pass waist card of the horse shop, and I will pick the horse! β
"I'm doing business, don't be petty at this time." Xiao Jingyuan coaxed and said, "You are really spoiled by your family, when will this eldest lady's temper change?" Look at your current appearance, isn't this a joke for Brother Gu and Miss Ning? β
Xiao Jinru obediently sat next to Xiao Jingyuan, pouted his lips indifferently, and choked back: "I was originally the eldest lady." β
Gu Xuesong said calmly: "Brother Xiao doesn't need to be reprimanded, Miss Xiao is reckless and carefree, and she is a woman with a true temperament." β
Xiao Jinru immediately showed a smug expression, and leaned to Xiao Jingyuan's side to show off: "Look at it, everyone praises me, but you always scold me!" Immediately, Xiao Jinru turned to Ningxia Qing, and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Ningxia Qing's appearance and filial piety dress, and then asked, "You are Miss Ning?" β
Ning Xia Qing replied calmly, "I am." β
Xiao Jinru pointed at Ah Zheng and asked Ning Ningqing: "This is your servant?" β
"It's my guy, called Ah Zheng." Ning Xia Qing picked up the tea set, got a cup of tea to Xiao Jinru, and said warmly: "I just heard the sound of horses suddenly coming downstairs, and I saw Miss Xiao glaring at Ah Zheng so angrily, I think Ah Zheng offended Miss Xiao, I am here to compensate Miss Xiao, I hope Miss Xiao Haihan." β
Xiao Jingyuan immediately said, "Miss Ning doesn't have to be like this. My sister is spoiled by the family, and she is flamboyant and nonsense by nature, and she must be causing trouble herself, but she depends on others. β
Before the words fell, there were hurried and heavy footsteps on the stairs outside the door, and the heavy wheezing of a middle-aged man. The door of the room was pushed open with a "bang", and the third master Ning with a very bad face walked in first, it was the panting Lord Ning at random, and the person who was holding the master Ning was actually the steward next to the third master Ning!
It seems that even the patriarch of the Ning clan was alarmed by this matter!
Ning Xia Qing took a sip of tea, very calm.
Master Ning and Master Ning San saluted Xiao Jingyuan, and Xiao Jingyuan returned the salute. Even Master Ning, who had not yet breathed his breath, didn't even have time to ask Gu Xuesong's identity, so he hurriedly challenged Ningxia Qing Yin and Yang in a strange way: "Niece, you have such a big face!" β
"Uncle Lobby is wrong, if I have a big face, how can I invite Uncle Lobby and Uncle Santang to come over? Speaking of which, Xiao Gongzi still has a big face, and he can work for the two cousins to deign to come. β
Master Ning snorted coldly from his nostrils.
Ningxia Qingwan smiled, stretched out his hand to signal Cuiyu, and Cuiyu immediately took out another envelope, took out two contracts from the envelope, and handed them to Master Ning.
It turned out that Ningxia Qing had prepared two contracts! Seeing that Ning Xia Qing had everything ready to such an extent, the expressions of all the stewards of the Ning clan turned blue. Ningxia Qingdao: "Presumably, the person who went back to report the news has already informed Uncle Lobby of the situation in his own locality, and if Uncle Lobby thinks about it, he will sign the contract." β
"Humph! Where is 50,000 taels enough to compensate me for two years of losses? You girl is so naΓ―ve! β
Ning Xia Qing said meaningfully: "Uncle Lobby means that 50,000 taels in two years is not enough? When Uncle Lobby signed the lease with my father, the rent for a year was less than 1,000 taels, and it was still in arrears from time to time, which made me think that the profit of my mulberry garden should not be very good, which made Uncle Lobby so stingy. Then I don't understand, is the profit of my mulberry garden good or bad? β
Master Ning was choked and gritted his back molars, and Master Ning San hurriedly spoke: "My niece doesn't know, this account is not calculated like this. Your lobby uncle has already set the amount of raw silk with many customers, and now the niece wants to take back the mulberry garden in advance, and your lobby uncle will not be able to take out so much raw silk, and he will break the contract and compensate, and reduce the reputation and lose old customers, this loss is immeasurable! β
"Uncle Santang, don't deceive me for ignorance." Ningxia Qing said word by word: "In order to cope with natural disasters and climate changes, the order for raw silk will only be set within two years at most, and the so-called compensation is a confused account." 50,000 taels is already an extremely high price, and Uncle Lobby will only make money and not lose money. β
Master Ning suddenly spoke, and his tone was arrogant and unreasonable: "Hmph, you don't care if I earn or lose, in short, it's only 50,000 taels, you don't want to get the mulberry garden two years in advance!" β
"How much silver does Uncle Lobby want?"
Master Ning sneered, and his tone was unquestionable: "Two hundred thousand, one or two is not much, one or two is not much!" β
As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the private room.
As for the stewards of the Ning clan, they all raised their eyebrows and laughed darkly. Only Tan Wenshi didn't smile, but observed Xiao Jingyuan and Gu Xuesong's reactions to this matter.
However, Xiao Jingyuan and Gu Xuesong didn't have much reaction. Xiao Jingyuan understands business matters, but it is not easy to manage the internal affairs of other families. Gu Xuesong looked calm, as if he hadn't heard it.
Xiao Jinru is straightforward, but she doesn't know what 50,000 taels and 200,000 taels mean.
"Uncle Lion in the lobby opened his mouth, this is to make me retreat, right? Maybe I should still think about auctioning the lease. β
"Miss Xia Qing, wait a minute." The steward who came with him who was waiting beside Third Master Ning suddenly spoke. As soon as this person spoke, all the people of the Ning clan showed some respectful looks, because everyone knew that this person represented the patriarch of the Ning clan.
The steward said: "Miss Xia Qing can have this will, and the third old lady appreciates Miss Xia Qing's courage very much. It's just that since Yongda has signed a lease with the eldest master, even if Miss Xia Qing wants to break the contract, she can't let the eldest lord suffer losses. Secondly, the meaning of Mulberry Garden to the Ning family, Miss Xia Qing also understood, and hoped that Miss Xia Qing had better stop making fun of Sang Yuan, otherwise the clan would not agree. β
Ning Xia Qing asked calmly: "You don't have to say so much, just talk about the conditions of the third uncle." "The so-called patriarch is just a robber leader, or the kind of robber leader who only robs his own family, it seems that the 200,000 taels just now is just the beginning, in fact, the third master Ning will only intensify on these 200,000 taels.
