Ning Xia Qing greeted with a smile quietly: "When did Tan Ye come back?" ”

"I just arrived in Liu'an County last night, and as soon as I came back, I heard that something had happened to the 'Merit Perfection'." Tan Wenshi replied, then sat down naturally, and asked seriously, "How is Miss Ning doing now?" Okay? ”

Ningxia Qing lowered his eyes and said, "It's not good." She knew that Tan Wenshi couldn't come over today just to say hello, Tan Wenshi was a person who wanted to take three steps at a time, and he must have something to say to her, she asked, "What is Tan Ye's opinion?" ”

Tan Wenshi took a sip of the tea handed over by Cuiyu, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Miss Ning has not drawn a clear line with the second master, Tan wants to persuade Miss Ning, if she withdraws as soon as possible, she can still have a foothold, otherwise, I am afraid that I will be dragged down by the second master and unable to turn over." ”

Ning Xia Qing couldn't help asking: "This is what Uncle Santang meant?" She subconsciously felt that it might be the third master who asked Tan Wenshi to persuade her, maybe the third master planned to separate her from the second master first, and then break them one by one.

However, Tan Wenshi shook his head and said, "This is what Tan himself meant." ”

This was quite unexpected by Ningxia Qing. Tan Wenshi said: "It is Tan who wants to persuade Miss Ning to draw a line with the second master, if Miss Ning is worried about losing the supply of the second master, Tan is willing to help in the supply of goods." Tan only hopes that Miss Ning can be left alone. ”

Ning Xia Qing frowned slightly, it wasn't what the third master meant, so why did Tan Wenshi say this? She asked in a low voice, "Why does Tan Ye want me to draw a line with the second master?" ”

Tan Wenshi said solemnly: "Since I heard about this, I went to find out a lot of news for Miss Ning overnight, according to what Tan saw, the second master must have been planted this time, and I also asked Miss Ning not to have a fluke heart." ”

Ning Xia Qing couldn't help asking: "What did Tan Ye inquire about?" Why do you think that the second master must have planted it this time? ”

Tan Wenshi glanced around, there happened to be no guests in Huacaiyuan at this time, Tan Wenshi lowered his voice and said: "The matter of the second master is the meaning of the capital, it is the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry are competing, the two will definitely fight to divide the winner, no matter who wins or loses, a small workshop can not escape the fate of being sacrificed." ”

Ning Ningqing's expression darkened, and Tan Wenshi's statement almost confirmed Zhao Xiang'e's statement. But Ning Xia Qing really didn't understand, how did a small workshop located in Meigong County attract the attention of Jinglitou? She was puzzled and asked, "Why do the big officials in Beijing have to wrestle in this small workshop?" ”

Tan Wenshi replied in a low voice: "I don't know if Miss Ning knows that there have been many officials in the imperial court these days, and even our Meigong County has turned a little wave." Ningxia Qing was silent, but she knew that Gu Xuesong's appointment may also be a branch of the turmoil in Beijing.

Tan Wenshi continued: "There are many new officials in the imperial court, and they are all busy eradicating dissidents and establishing authority. The second master had a falling out with the third master, and he had already lost his backer, so those people naturally set their sights on the second master who was easy to bully. Since those are eyeing the second master, the second master is destined to be doomed. Therefore, Tan Moucai persuaded Miss Ning not to be rash, and to know the times as a handsome person. ”

Ning Xia Qing didn't speak, just raised his eyes and looked straight at Tan Wenshi. Tan Wenshi was stunned by her, so she had to reiterate: "Miss Ning needs help with the supply of goods in the future, just talk to Tan." ”

Ning Ningqing still didn't speak, Tan Wenshi's eyes rolled, and said, "By the way, there should be a lot of shopkeepers who come to Hua Caiyuan to return the goods, right?" Therefore, Miss Ning has to get rid of the relationship with the second master and the 'Merit Consummation' as soon as possible, so that even if those people come to Hua Caiyuan to return the goods, Miss Ning can also say that she has nothing to do with the 'Merit Consummation', and she can also send away those who pestered you to return the goods and ask for silver. ”

Ning Xia Qing suddenly asked: "After the second master falls, will the third master take the workshop for himself?" "Although the third master has poached a lot of craftsmen from the second master, but the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the second master has a lot of formulas that the third master has not been able to get.

Tan Wenshi was stunned. Ning Xia Qing asked again: "Although this incident is a wrestling in Beijing, isn't there no factor of the third master at all?" ”

Tan Wenshi sighed and said, "At this point, it doesn't matter whether the third master is involved or not. ”

Ning Xia Qing understood Tan Wenshi's voice: "So, is this really related to the third master?" ”

Tan Wenshi only said: "Miss Ning, you and the second master don't have to think about whether the third master has anything to do with this matter." Because this matter is now out of the control of the third master. Even if you know that the third master is involved, then what can you do? Even if you can get the third master to promise to let you go, is it still useful for the third master to speak now? ”

Ning Xia Qing understood, although Tan Wenshi kept persuading her to "stop thinking about whether the third master has anything to do with this matter", but in fact, he confirmed to her that this matter was indeed caused by the third master.

Ningxia Qing really didn't understand. If this matter is really related to the third master, then Tan Wenshi can't get rid of it. In that case, why did Tan Wenshi admit this to her?

Ning Xia Qing dealt with a few vague words, thanked Tan Wenshi for coming to tell him, and then sent Tan Wenshi away. As soon as Tan Wenshi left, Ning Xia Qing asked Cuiyu: "Is Ah Zheng back?" ”

Cuiyu was stunned for a moment, and blurted out a rhetorical question: "Ah Zheng...... Is it out? ”

Ning Xia Qing shook his head and didn't say any more.

At this moment, another batch of shopkeepers who came to return goods came to the door again.

Ningxia Qing returned to the backyard and handed everything over to Dong Zizhen to deal with.

After noon, she talked to Dong Zizhen alone.

Dong Zizhen complained with a sad face: "There are a total of ten companies that have entered the 'merit consummation' from us, and they used to cry and shout and beg us to give them the goods, but now when something happens, there are three who came to ask for returns yesterday, and five more here today, how can we compensate them so much for the goods." Besides, if something happens to the 'Merit Consummation', they can't rely on our Huacai Yuan, right......"

Dong Zizhen said: "If we don't return the goods to them, even if they go to the government to sue, they may not win." These grandsons must know this, so they don't dare to force us, they only dare to grind us endlessly! I didn't do anything else all morning, I just came with these guys! ”

Ning Xia Qing said calmly: "I asked you to talk to you alone, just to tell you about their return." ”

Dong Zizhen, who was tortured by the shopkeepers who came to return the goods, his eyes lit up instantly: "The owner has an idea?" How are you going to deal with them? ”

Ning Xia Qing said flatly: "You call all the people who want to return the goods and let them gather in one place." Aren't they going to return it? We'll just give them back. ”

"......" Dong Zizhen looked at Ning Xia Qing in a daze, speechless for a long time.

Half an hour later.

There were already a total of ten shopkeepers in the living room of the Ning family, and all the shopkeepers who entered the "merit consummation" from Huacaiyuan collectively asked for returns.

A room of shopkeepers gathered together waited for Cuiyu to call Ningxia Qing over, and at the same time exchanged heads and ears-

"Are we really going to give the 'merit consummation' back? What if this material turns over in the future? ”

"Don't be delusional! I heard a little gossip that this 'merit consummation' made a big mistake, and it was actually contaminated with the taboo of Zhehuang, how can this turn over? And it is said that this time it is the big officials in Beijing who are alarmed, and those officials want to kill the 'merit consummation' to sacrifice the flag. ”

"Huh?! It has something to do with the color of the Son of Heaven?! is still being targeted by the big officials in Beijing?! Isn't that the 'consummation of merit' an ironclad end this time?! ”

"yes, so, let's return it if we can, don't think about waiting for two more days or something."

"Well, but ...... Can this Hua Cai Yuan promise to return the goods? Our money has gone into other people's accounts, and if we want to take it out again, I'm afraid it will be difficult. ”

"Yes, it's such a big sum of money, I'm afraid Hua Caiyuan won't agree...... Speaking of which, if you want to return the goods and ask for silver later, this is a thing that has never been done......"

"Who says there hasn't been such a thing? If there is no problem with the goods, there is naturally no reason to return them. But the 'consummation of merit' is clearly the product in question! We ask for a return, there is no problem at all! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Miao Laosan, who was present, snorted and said with a sneer: "'Merit Consummation' is dyed with Zhe wood, but he still dares to sell it with great fanfare, doesn't it affect all the merchants who don't know about me?" Profiteers like this, we just ask for returns, which is already considered to be our kindness! We should even ask Hua Cai Yuan for compensation! ”

"However, there is a problem with ......'merit consummation', Hua Caiyuan can be said to be equally innocent, and it will be difficult for us to do it if everything is pushed to the other side of the workshop......

Miao Lao said in three voices: "How did this 'consummation of merit' become popular? Isn't it all Huacaiyuan that has been pushing in front of everyone? If Hua Cai Yuan is innocent, who can believe it? ”

"This also makes sense, 'merit consummation' is a new material, all of which can only become popular by Ning Dangjia of Hua Cai Yuan, to say that Hua Cai Yuan has nothing to do with this material, it is really a bit unreasonable!"

Miao Laosan was indignant: "That's it! Moreover, in my opinion, this incident that offended the color of the Son of Heaven may have the participation of Hua Caiyuan! Now the government is only sealing the workshop, and it has not let Hua Cai Yuan sit together, but has already given face to the two plaques hanging in Hua Cai Yuan! ”

"But, I still hope that Hua Cai Yuan will not be implicated...... Hua Cai Yuan does not produce materials, but only sells merchants who have 'merit consummation', and we are all merchants who sell 'merit consummation'. If this matter really makes Hua Caiyuan sit down, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our shop to be alone. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent, and the faces of all the shopkeepers turned a little blue, and everyone was in danger.

Suddenly, Miao Laosan said viciously: "Anyway, our shop is safer than Huacaiyuan!" If it doesn't work, let's just write a petition and sue Huacaiyuan to the county government. Let's just say that Hua Caiyuan is likely to be involved in the dyeing of Zhemu, and then bite us to death We don't know about Zhemu, let Hua Caiyuan drink a pot! ”

As soon as Miao Laosan said this, the surrounding shopkeepers looked at him in surprise.

Miao Laosan's words were too ruthless, and it didn't seem to be to get back his own interests, but it seemed to be just for the sake of putting up Huacaiyuan.

Because of the relationship of "merit and consummation", all the shopkeepers have cooperation with Hua Caiyuan on weekdays, and those who come and go are also acquaintances, even if there is no affection between them and Hua Caiyuan, they will never hate it like this.

But Miao Laosan's attitude was like taking Hua Caiyuan as an enemy.

The other shopkeepers secretly glanced at each other, and they all looked at Miao Laosan with some curiosity.

The silence in the hall was noticed by Miao Laosan, Miao Laosan's eyes rolled, and he made up for it: "What I mean, if Hua Caiyuan refuses to agree to return the goods, let's write a letter and sue Hua Caiyuan to the county government, saying that Hua Caiyuan is also involved in the matter of Zhemu, and then bite us to death without knowing about it, let the county master call the shots for us!" ”

"That's right, if Hua Caiyuan doesn't agree to return the goods to us, we can only come hard!"

"Just do what the shopkeeper Miao said!"

At this moment, the curtain hanging on the hall door was lifted, and Ning Ningqing, who had a calm face, walked in, followed by Cuiyu and Dong Zizhen.
