However, after only seven days away from home, she felt that she missed her family very much.

When she arrived at Xu Ning Street, Zi'er was still in the academy and didn't go home, and when the old lady and Cao Shi heard that Ningxia Qing was back, they didn't even have time to put on their cloaks, so they all rushed out to meet her, and almost cried when they saw her.

After seeing that her family had been safe, it was still early, and she was busy going to the shop. This trip to Liuyang County has gained a lot, and she has to hurry up with Dong Zizhen to ventilate Huacaiyuan's next step.

As soon as she entered the shop, Dong Zizhen smiled happily and greeted warmly: "Oops! Boss, you're back? It's been a hard trip, isn't it? ”

Ning Ningqing smiled, and was busy talking to Dong Zizhen about business first: "This time I went to Liuyang County, I met a person, an acquaintance of Ah Zheng, and now he is a businessman. I signed a list with him, more than 900 horses are 'meritorious', this list is written on the suit and quantity he wants, you hurry up and stock up. ”

"Nine...... More than 900 horses? Dong Zi really couldn't close his mouth: "I...... Did I hear me right? ”

Ning Xia Qing said with a smile: "That person is a big businessman, and more than nine hundred horses are nothing to others. ”

"Okay!" Dong Zizhen smiled and took the list of silk satin written on Yelu Wushu, and said while picking it up: "The master is really powerful, but after a trip to Liuyang County, he brought such a big deal!" ”

Ning Xia Qing said: "Don't be in a hurry to be happy, I'll tell you one more thing." When I came back from Liuyang County this time, I also brought back 3,200 horses of cage tobacco yarn and 240 horses of blended yarn. ”

Dong Zizhen's movements couldn't help but stagnate, and he repeated in disbelief: "Three...... Three thousand two hundred? ”

"Hmm." Ning Xia Qing nodded calmly: "One horse is five taels and five wen, a total of sixteen thousand one hundred and sixty taels." ”

Dong Zizhen's face was solemn and let out two sluggish laughs, and he said unbelievingly: "Master, you must be teasing me!" I don't know you yet, where did you get more than 16,000 taels of silver? ”

Ning Xia Qing said seriously: "I didn't lie to you, I did only bring more than 1,000 taels, so I used the more than 900 horses of 'merit consummation' silver to pay for the goods." ”

Dong Zizhen was like a cow, bowing his head in the shop, turning in circles like angry, and suddenly walked out of the shop, squatted at the door, and curled himself up, like an angry cat.

Cuiyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and shouted at Dong Zizhen's back: "What? Is the shopkeeper Dong angry with the girl? ”

Dong Zizhen's sullen voice came from the door: "How dare I be angry with the master?!" I just think it's bold to be in charge...... Whether the market of yarn will get better or worse, none of us know, the owner actually took silver to buy so much yarn, isn't this a child's play with the trading of Huacaiyuan......"

Hearing this, Jade said, "Then aren't you just angry with the girl?" ”

Dong Zizhen said loudly: "I didn't! ”

Cuiyu covered her mouth and said lightly: "Shopkeeper Dong, come here." ”

Dong Zizhen had no choice but to come over, and Ning Xia Qing didn't continue to talk to Dong Zizhen about borrowing money to buy more than 3,000 horses of cage tobacco yarn, and directly ordered: "Shopkeeper Dong, the truck carrying the cage tobacco yarn will arrive soon, you hurry up and tidy up the warehouse and make some space." ”

Dong Zizhen replied dejectedly: "Got it." ”

"That's right." Ning Xia Qing took the account book very elegantly, and asked while flipping through it: "These days, how is the business in the shop?" Is there anything missing? ”

The dejected Dong Zizhen replied honestly: "Everything is as usual, nothing happens." It's just that several more shopkeepers who have come to us to come to me to complain about the 'consummation of merit' have come to me one after another. ”

Dong Zizhen, who was depressed, added: "On the morning of your departure, I went to look for Master Gu, and Lord Gu seemed to be going out at that time, so I didn't dare to delay him too much, so I told him about it, and then I left." ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded: "I know you went to look for him, when I was in Liuyang County, I met Master Gu, and he told me that this matter should not be rushed, and that it must be discussed in the long run." ”

Ning Xia Qing asked again: "I asked you to find the second master and then go to Lord Gu, then when you go to see the second master, what does the second master say?" ”

Dong Zizhen's face instantly became miserable, almost crying without tears, and complained: "Master, you told me before that the second master has a bit of a lonely temper, and I have never fully understood it, this time it can be regarded as a ......."

Ning Xia Qing couldn't help laughing and asked, "What?" He lost his temper, didn't he? ”

Dong Zizhen clapped his hands: "It's not!" I just asked him if he could imitate the exact same 'merit consummation', and I swore I really didn't mean to offend, but the second master was in a hurry! He thinks I'm questioning his craft! If it weren't for Wei San's persuasion on the side, the old man might have directly picked up the window bolt and beat me! ”

It's not hard to imagine...... Ningxia Qing and Cuiyu couldn't stop laughing for a while, and after a while, Ningxia Qing calmed down, stroked his chest and asked: "So, the second master is confident that no one can imitate the silk satin that is exactly the same as the 'Merit Perfection', right?" ”

Dong Zizhen, who had a bitter face, said: "The second master didn't say this, he was in a hurry at the time, how dare I ask!" ”

Dong Zizhen added: "But Young Master Zhiqi later came to me and said a few words, Young Master Zhiqi said, the weaving method of 'merit perfection' may be imitated by people with intentions, but the color dyeing process is difficult to imitate, and the most special thing about 'merit perfection' is its luster, and Young Master Zhiqi's opinion is that others will never imitate the same gloss." ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded, and listened to Dong Zizhen say happily: "Since Young Master Zhiqi said so, we can also have a bottom in our hearts." No matter how much others imitate it, they can't imitate the same good material as 'consummation of merit'. As the so-called big waves wash the sand, people will sooner or later find that those cheap fakes are definitely not comparable to our real products! ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded and muttered: "But we can't just wait for the big waves to wash the sand, we have to take the initiative ourselves and think of ways to crack down on fakes." ”

Since the third master poached people from the second master's workshop, the second master's workshop has lost the top group of craftsmen in the past, resulting in the second master's silk satin that can no longer be produced.

However, the third master did not poach the craftsmen who were good at weaving "merit consummation", so to speak, "merit consummation" is the only hope of the second master.

Therefore, as long as the second master has self-confidence, the "consummation of merit" will never be imitated exactly the same, and Ningxia Qing is willing to support the second master to produce "consummation of merit".

At this moment, Lan Ying came over, saying that the second girl had come back from the academy, and when she heard that the eldest girl had gone home, the second girl was clamoring to see her sister.

Now that it was time for dinner at home, Ning Ningqing went back to the backyard, and as soon as she walked into the old lady's yard, a round little ball shouted "sister-sister-" while throwing herself into her arms.

Before Ning Xia Qing could speak, Cao Shi came out and said angrily: "Zi'er, you should be careful." Your sister is not like you, your sister is thin, you pounce on her like this, be careful to knock her down. ”

Ning Ningqing rubbed Zi'er's head melon seeds with his hand, smiled, and said, "Zi'er is measured, and she won't knock me down." Besides, I'm an adult, Zi'er is young, how can she knock me down? ”

Cao frowned and said solemnly, "What else do you say?" Zi'er is getting stronger and stronger, but you, I haven't seen you for seven days, I watched you lose weight several times, and your face is more sunken than before. If you continue to work hard like this, and lose weight endlessly, you will really be knocked down by Zi'er in the future. ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled flatteringly, and carried Zi'er into the house, where dinner had been set.

Ningxia Qing asked Cuiyu to distribute the gifts she had brought back from Liuyang County to the old lady, Cao, and Zi'er.

Cao Shi saw the gift, although he was happy, but he still didn't forget more important things, and still nagged: "Don't think about sending me over like this." I can tell you, although I don't care about your business, I can't watch you continue to work like this, I don't believe you let the old lady see, are you losing weight again?! ”

Ning Xia Qing laughed a few times, and Cao Shi said again: "I know you don't like to hear this, but I still have to say, if you are always busy like this, you will definitely not be able to bear it, so it is better to quickly recruit someone to share the burden for you." ”

Cao couldn't help mentioning Du Zhengshuo again: "Didn't your cousin come a few times during the Chinese New Year, I see that you are also cold and indifferent, do you really want to be so busy all your life?" ”

Ningxia Qing didn't answer, and the old lady spoke first: "That's it, don't urge Qing'er." In my opinion, although Du Zhengshuo's child is smart, he always feels that he is not stable enough and does things a little floating. ”

Cao said: "I don't have to force Qing'er and her cousin. If Qing'er didn't look down on Du Zhengshuo's child, it would be nothing, and then go and see other young men. I was angry that the kid didn't care about it at all, and was only focused on business. ”

Ningxia Qing smirked a few times, the old lady helped persuade Cao, at this moment, Dong Zizhen asked someone to pass the message, saying that the truck pulling the yarn had arrived, Ningxia Qing immediately put down the bowl, confessed, and bluntly said that he had to personally look at the situation of the yarn in the warehouse, and hurriedly escaped from Cao's nagging with the help of the old lady.

This batch of yarn was personally escorted by Yelu Wushu. Originally, Yelu Wushu came forward to buy the cage tobacco yarn, and Yelu Wushu happened to come to Liu'an County to discuss business, so he directly followed the truck and personally sent more than 3,000 horses of cage tobacco yarn to Huacaiyuan.

And after Ningxia Qing informed Dong Zizhen of stocking up before, Dong Zizhen went to the second master's workshop, and he had already collected more than 900 "merits" for Yelu Wushu. After Yeluwu inspected the goods, he praised him again and again, and his smile couldn't be closed.

However, Yelu Wushu had to stay in Liu'an County for a while longer, so he was not in a hurry to take away this batch of goods. So he told Ningxia Qing that he would store the more than 900 "merits" in Huacaiyuan first, and then take them away when he left here.

Ning Ningqing responded with a smile, gave Dong Zizhen a little silver, and instructed: "You personally take Brother Yelu to Wanshou Restaurant, and take Brother Yelu to wash the dust well." Then I went to find an inn and asked for a room, so that I could settle Brother Yelu. ”

"Okay!" Dong Zizhen smiled and agreed very simply. He understood what Ning Ningqing meant, and Ningxia Qing sent Dong Zizhen to establish a relationship with Yelu Wushu, so that he could continue to cooperate with Yelu Wushu in the future.

Yelu Wushu patted Dong Zizhen on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll go and have a good drink with Shopkeeper Dong!" Immediately, Yelu Wushu suddenly said to Ning Xia Qing: "Miss Ning, can you borrow a step to speak, I can only tell you something." ”

Ning Xia Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and took Yelu Wushu to the compartment behind the Huacaiyuan shop, Yelu Wushu took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Ning Xia Qing.

Ning Ningqing was stunned for a moment, opened the cloth bag, and saw a delicate wolf tooth wrapped in it.

She only felt familiar, and instantly recognized that this was the wolf tooth on Ah Zheng's neck, but how could this be in Yeluwushu's hands?

She remembered that this wolf tooth was something that Ah Zheng never left her. It's just that it's been cold recently, and everyone is wrapped in thick clothes with high collars, so she can't see whether Ah Zheng is wearing this wolf tooth.

Yelu Wushu said solemnly, "You give this to Ah Zheng." ”

She asked suspiciously, "Why is this wolf tooth in the hands of Brother Yelu?" Could it be that Ah Zheng accidentally landed in Liuyang County, and Brother Yelu sent it over for him? ”

Yelu Wushu just smiled in a deep voice and said, "Miss Ning, don't ask." You only told Ah Zheng that according to the agreement, I returned this thing to him. In addition, I believe that he will be able to listen to what Miss Ning says, so I will trouble Miss Ning to tell him personally that this thing is valuable, and tell him not to use this as collateral in the future. ”

What conventions? What to do as collateral? Ningxia Qing didn't understand it at all. But I saw Yelu Wushu leave Huacaiyuan, and after calling Ah Zheng, he went to drink with Dong Zizhen.

Before the first lunar month came out, there was a light snow at night. I don't know why, it was extremely cold after the snow, as if winter had come back all of a sudden, and Ningxia Qing was woken up by freezing in the middle of the night.

The next day, Ning Ningqing had just gotten up, and he saw that the weather was so cold that he could let out white air in the house. She was wrapped in thick clothes and had just combed her hair, when Cui Zhi suddenly came to report that something had happened in the business outside, and the shopkeeper Dong told the owner to hurry over.

Ning Ningqing's eyes sank, put on his cloak and went to the shop. Dong Zizhen hurriedly greeted him, and said with a bitter face: "Boss, it's not good, the second master's workshop has been sealed by the government!" ”

The workshop was sealed by the government? How can it be? When Ning Xia Qing heard this, her heart couldn't help pounding...... It was so sudden that she couldn't believe it for a while, so she couldn't help but murmur and ask, "What did you say...... It's true? ”

Dong Zizhen hurriedly nodded and said, "It's true and true!" After I got the letter, I went over in person, but I saw with my own eyes that the second master was arguing with the people in the government, and he almost got into a fight! ”

Ning Ningqing only felt incredible: "The second master's workshop has always been honestly operated, and there is no shortage of catties and two shoddy times, how can it provoke the government to come to the door?" ”

"I don't know, but I must have committed a crime!" Dong Zizhen said with a bitter face: "I only heard silk satin or something, and it seems that the officers and soldiers are going to come to our Huacaiyuan!" ”

"Coming at us?" Ning Ningqing's face turned pale, he slowed down for a moment, and his mind calmed down a little, the government came for silk satin, and there were several kinds of silk satin from the second master's workshop in Huacaiyuan, she immediately said: "No matter what, let's first hide all the silk satin produced from the second master in the warehouse, so as not to find it when the government comes." ”

Ah Zheng on the side said: "Not to mention other silk satins, the more than 900 horses of 'merit perfection' that Wushu wanted are now on the shelves in the warehouse." There are so many materials, if we want to hide them all, how long do we have to hide them? And where are we hiding? ”
