Xiao Jingyuan has already set the remaining 200,000 taels of the list with Ningxia Qing, this time he still wants corrugated silk satin dyed with phoenix grass and trees, and agreed that after 20 days, Ningxia Qing will send the sample to Xiao Jingyuan.

Ning Xia Qing gave Ai Lu the old paper that recorded the phoenix grass and wood dyeing technique, and asked Ai Lu to take the secret recipe back to Ning Er's workshop, and rush to make the sample that Xiao Jingyuan wanted according to the method recorded on the old paper.

It's just that, according to the agreement between Ningxia Qing and Ai Lu, this party cannot be spread, and only Ai Lu is allowed to know.

And Ningxia Qing also promised Ai Lu that as long as Ai Lu can patiently study the techniques of phoenix grass and wood dyeing, and complete Xiao Jingyuan's list without making mistakes, Ningxia Qing will return Ai Lu's identity deed to Ai Lu on the day when Ai Lu becomes a weaving and dyeing master.

In this way, Ningxia Qingfang can be regarded as completely subduing Ai Lu, and he only needs to sit at home and wait for the second master and Ai Lu to help him work in the workshop to earn Xiao Jingyuan's silver.

A few days later, Aunt Du came to the result, saying that the owner on Jiucheng Lane had agreed.

Ning Xia Qing only smiled slightly when she heard this, glanced at Dong Zizhen, and then went to Jiucheng Lane with Aunt Du. When they saw the proprietor who came out of the shop, Ning Xia Qing and Dong Zizhen couldn't help but glance at each other again, and they both expected the scene in front of them.

The person who came out of the shop and claimed to be the owner of the shop was not Miao Laosan, but a raw face man named Wan Baocai.

Wan Baocai smiled and welcomed Ning Xia Qing and Dong Zizhen in, and took out the title deed and business documents from the small box, and on these documents printed with official seals, the names signed were all the words "Wan Bao Cai".

Ning Xia Qing flipped through it with a smile, and without looking at it carefully, he handed it to Dong Zizhen on the side, Dong Zizhen just flipped through it casually, and then returned a series of vouchers to Wanbaocai.

Ning Ningqing smiled and greeted: "I heard that Aunt Du's younger brother and Wan Dangjia are old acquaintances, and I have long admired Wan Dang's name, and today I can finally see it, and in the future, you and I will do business together, and I hope that Wan Dangjia will take care of it." ”

Wan Baocai smiled and said with a flattering face: "It's better to take care of me more." Ning Dangjia, please rest assured, my shop is on Jiucheng Lane, and the business is naturally very good, as long as Ning Dangjia can promise to let me pay a few months' credit, and when I turn over here, I will definitely pay back all the silver to Ning Dangjia! ”

Wan Baocai said as he handed out the account book and said, "Ning Dangjia and Dong Shopkeeper take a look and see if the flow of my shop is very good." ”

Dong Zizhen took the account book and flipped through it, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The business is really good, it seems that the passenger flow on Jiucheng Lane is indeed not comparable to Xu Ning Street!" ”

Wan Baocai smiled and flattered: "Where is the shopkeeper Dong?" Although the business of Jiucheng Lane is good, who doesn't know that Hua Cai Yuan has been in the limelight in the county, even if it is opened on Xu Ning Street, there are still many people who run there specifically for the name of Hua Cai Yuan. ”

After flattering each other, Wan Baocai said again: "Since I have fallen in love with Ning Dangjia and Dong Shopkeeper like this, let's sign a contract." According to the rules, Ning Dangjia is saving me this time, and I should give Ning Dangjia two and a half more profits, which can be regarded as repaying Ning Dangjia's trust in me. ”

Aunt Du on the side immediately said: "Alas, two and a half points of profit! Big girl, let's sign the contract quickly, we can pick up a big bargain! Wan Dangjia is really generous! ”

Wan Baocai smiled, sang and said with Aunt Du: "I can't talk about generosity, after all, Ning Dangjia trusts me so much, and I should give Ning Dangjia benefits." If Ning Dangjia is willing to accept this condition, then let's not delay our efforts, let's sign the contract now! ”

Ning Ningqing waved his hand slightly and said, "I do have a good relationship with Wan Dangjia, but I am afraid that the signing of the contract will have to be postponed for a few days." ”

Wan Baocai was stunned: "This ...... What does Ning Dangjia mean by this? ”

Ning Xia Qing sighed and said, "I did agree with Second Master Ning before, and I would supply to Wan Dangjia in addition to supplying Huacaiyuan, but who would have expected that something else would suddenly happen recently, and Second Master Ning might not be able to produce so many goods for a while." ”

Wan Baocai immediately understood, and asked, "What Ning Dangjia is referring to is the matter of the phoenix grass and trees?" ”

Ning Ningqing nodded, so he said in embarrassment: "Yes, the second master's side could have produced the goods for Hua Caiyuan and Wan Dang's family, but now that the list of phoenix grass and trees is dyed, the second master's side has begun to get busy, and now the workshop may only be able to supply Hua Caiyuan, as for the goods that Wan Dang's side needs, the workshop is not sure if it can be produced." ”

Aunt Du's face was displeased: "Didn't the eldest girl already tell Second Master Ning about it?" Can you still make Second Master Ning say that if you change the hexagram, you will change ......?"

Wan Baocai slightly gestured to Aunt Du, interrupted Aunt Du's complaint, and said understandingly: "I understand the difficulties of Ning Dangjia, there is a rush in the workshop, and it is normal that there is no time to produce." ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded and said, "Thank you for your understanding." This batch of phoenix grass and trees dyeing work is in time, so the workshop has not been able to turn around yet, and I will discuss with the second master again to see if I can step up production and supply the goods that Wan Dangjia needs. ”

Ning Xia Qing got up and said, "I will go and discuss with the second master as soon as possible, and Wan Dangjia will wait for my news." As for this contract, when I discuss it with the second master, the goods here can be supplied, and it will not be too late for us to sign it. ”

Wan Baocai nodded, and said: "Ning Dangjia's words are also reasonable, but ......" Wan Baocai's words changed sharply, and said: "But my side has been out of stock for a while, and now although it is barely supported, I am afraid that it will not be able to support for a few days, and I hope that Ning Dangjia will mediate this matter for me as soon as possible, and I am waiting for the good news of Ning Dangjia." ”

"Don't worry, I'll leave." Ning Xia Qing said with a smile, and then took Aunt Du and Dong Zizhen back to Xu Ning Street.

Dong Zizhen and Zhen Fu sat on the carriage together, and Ningxia Qing, Cuiyu, Aunt Du, and Yinque sat in the carriage. Aunt Du came and went home today, but when it came to the end, she fell short, and couldn't help muttering unhappily: "Since the eldest girl doesn't want to sign the contract today, why bother to run away, but make me happy in vain." ”

Ning Ningqing was not annoyed, but patiently explained: "I didn't want to sign the contract, I wanted to sign it, but I couldn't sign it today." Since I'm already planning to sign the contract, let's take a look at the title deed or something, it's human nature. ”

Aunt Du laughed a few words, and didn't dare to offend Ningxia Qing, so she had to say: "How can I not understand the sincerity of the eldest girl?" I...... I'm just worried about my brother......"

Ning Xia Qing smiled and nodded, indicating understanding. Aunt Du then asked uneasily: "Is the eldest girl really sure that she will sign the contract?" When Ningxia Qing heard this, she couldn't help but look at Aunt Du.

Aunt Du couldn't help but change her expression when she looked at Ning Ningqing's eyes, and then hurriedly made up for it: "Then the master can be said, as long as the eldest girl signs a contract with him and lets him pay on credit, he will give the eldest girl two and a half points of profit!" I'm not afraid that the big girl will hesitate, but I missed this good opportunity to make a big profit! ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled, didn't promise to sign it, didn't say that he wouldn't sign it, only said: "I really want to sign the contract, but whether I will really sign it in the end, I don't count what I said, it depends on whether the second master's side can produce so much material." Aunt Du, don't worry, I will try my best to persuade the second master to maneuver around on the second master's side. ”

Aunt Du laughed a few times and said, "The eldest girl promised like this, and I was relieved." ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled slightly, raised her chin slightly, and said meaningfully: "I always thought that Aunt Du was not interested in business matters, but I didn't expect that Aunt Du was really concerned about this matter." ”

Aunt Du was stunned for a moment and said, "Hey, I'...... I'm not worried about my brother. I didn't know anything about business, but Wan Dangjia agreed, as long as I could negotiate with the eldest girl about this credit, I would let my brother be the shopkeeper. That's why I'm so concerned about this, after all, it's all for my brother. ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled and nodded, and didn't ask any further. Aunt Du hurried to have a relationship with Ningxia Qingla: "Moreover, I am not the only one in the Du family who is concerned about this matter, and my younger brother and sister have always said that they will personally bring some gifts to thank the eldest girl for her kindness." In short, the Du family is looking forward to this happening, and they also hope that the eldest girl will go around more on the second master's side! ”

"Aunt Du can rest assured." Ning Xia Qing just smiled, and his tone seemed quite meaningful.

After returning to Huacaiyuan, Ningxia Qing asked Aunt Du to get out of the carriage, but she didn't get out of the carriage, but said to Aunt Du: "Aunt Du go home first, I'll go to the second master to see the situation in the workshop, and discuss with the second master about increasing production." Then, in the gratitude of Aunt Du, he left Xu Ning Street again.

However, Ningxia Qing did not go to the workshop, but went to Gu Xuesong's mansion.

The reason why it is now in the past is because Ningxia Qing knows that Gu Xuesong is resting today, but when she left from Jiucheng Lane, she did not see Gu Xuesong in the teahouse opposite Tong's pickle shop.

Since Gu Xuesong is fine today, why didn't he go there?

On the way to see Gu Xuesong, Ningxia Qing did not forget to go to Tong's pickle shop again, and asked Cuiyu to buy two boxes of hardcover candied golden dates.

Gu Xuesong's house is densely planted with trees and trees, deep and elegant. In late spring, the water in the pond in the courtyard is as quiet as a dream, and the trees near the pond are already quite lush and lush, and the sun is a little drooping by the sun, and the sun seems to bloom in the treetops, casting dappled shadows under the trees.

The colors of late spring are like ink stained with water, waving between heaven and earth. The flowers in late spring are full of color, and the dark green and clear green that come into the eyes are completely off the goose yellow bottom, it is so verdant, no longer shallow, no longer immature, but shows a complex and rich level of life.

In such weather, when she saw Gu Xuesong, Gu Xuesong was wearing a cloak that was not thin or thick.

She remembered that a long, long time ago, she had found that Gu Xuesong was weak and cold. In every season when others know the warmth, Gu Xuesong always can't touch the slightest breeze in the world.

She stood there carrying a food box she had bought from Tong's pickle shop.
