When Qilang Ningyi heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said: "Third brother, don't worry, we must keep our mouths shut, and no matter who comes, we will not reveal a word." ”

Shiro also chimed in: "Yes, the second uncle and the third brother gave us two brothers a bite to eat, and we will never betray the second uncle and the third brother." ”

After Ning Xiu left the Ning family, he walked straight to the Zhang family's mansion.

Although Zhang Juzheng had already set off to return to Beijing, Zhang Maoxiu, the third son of Zhang, stayed in Jiangling.

Next year is the township test, Zhang Maoxiu deliberately avoided the bustling and noisy Beijing Division, and studied in his hometown.

Just now, Zhang Maoxiu called the scholar to Ning's house and asked Ning Xiu to come to the house to talk about it, Ning Xiu had the heart to have a good relationship with Zhang Maoxiu, so he naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity.

When he arrived at the Zhang family's mansion, Ning Xiu stepped forward and said, "Ning Xiu, a student of Xiaozi County, was invited by the third prince to come to the mansion for a talk." ”

The official saw Ning Xiu, nodded and said, "The little one will go to Tongyu." ”

With that, he closed the door.

Ning Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

The Gaomen compound is still difficult to enter.

Don't look at Zhang Juzheng who just met him not long ago, but there is no essential change for Ning Xiu.

The class gap is insurmountable, and Ning Xiu can only truly gain Zhang Juzheng's trust if he becomes a high school scholar and becomes an official.

After a while, the official went and returned, opened the door and said, "Ning Xiaogong, the third young master of my family is invited, come with me." ”

Ning Xiu was taken into the mansion and followed the doorman all the way through the courtyard to a rather delicately decorated courtyard.

The Zhang family's mansion occupies an extremely wide area, and if Ning Xiu is allowed to go by himself, he is afraid that he will really get lost.

In fact, this is also very impolite, in case of collision with the family members in the house, it is a big sin.

"Ning Xiaoxianggong, the third young master of my family is in the courtyard, please take care of it."

Ning Xiu nodded at him and walked towards the courtyard,

When Ning Xiu knocked on the door in front of the main hall, he heard a clear voice.

"Please come in."

Ning Xiu pushed the door in, and a strong incense poured into his mouth and nose.

Ning Xiu took a sip and only felt refreshed.

Tsk, this dignitary really knows how to enjoy.

Bypassing the screen, I saw Zhang Mao correcting his self-slumber book. Ning Xiu didn't dare to disturb, and walked to the front to wait.

After about half a cup of tea, Zhang Maoxiu stopped writing.

He put the wolf on the pen stand, wiped his hands with a face towel and said, "Brother Ning Xian is here, sit down." Brother Fool invited you here because he had an important matter to discuss with you. ”

Ning Xiu smiled and said, "Oh, I don't know what Brother Mao Xiu is doing? ”

Zhang Maoxiu knocked his finger and said, "This business of finger cakes...... Did Brother Ning Xian ever want to operate a joint venture with others? ”

"Joint stock operation? Brother Mao wants to take a stake? ”

Zhang Maoxiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Haha, Brother Ning Xian misunderstood." The foolish brother wants to match a friend. ”

Ning Xiu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "The candidate recommended by Brother Mao Xiu must be extremely suitable. However, this matter is also very important to the younger brother, and he still needs to meet the friend who wants to cooperate. ”

Zhang Maoxiu's proposal is exactly what Ning Xiu wants, but it is still necessary to be cautious in choosing a partner.

Zhang Maoxiu pushed his hand and said with a slight smile: "Of course, Brother Ning Xian will come to my mansion again tomorrow, and Brother Fool will introduce you to you." ”

......

......

Early the next morning, Ning Xiu wrapped several freshly made finger cakes and went straight to Zhang's house.

In order to give a good impression to the potential partner, Ning Xiu specially asked the dead ghost father to add double eggs to the finger cake, which tasted absolutely mellow.

All the way through the courtyard to Zhang Gongzi's study, Ning Xiu took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Brother Mao, the little brother is here."

"Brother Ning Xian, please come in quickly."

Ning Xiu pushed the door in, bypassed the screen, and saw Zhang Maoxiu chatting happily with an obese teenager.

The young man was dressed in a dark green silk jacket, and although he had wide robes and large sleeves, it was difficult to hide his exaggerated figure.

Ning Xiu believed that anyone who saw him for the first time would put their eyes on his round belly.

This belly is really eye-catching......

I'm rubbing, this guy shouldn't be the partner in Zhang Maoxiu's mouth, right?

Ning Xiu couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

Although people can't be good-looking, the first impression is still very important, and the impression that this fat man gave Ning Xiu is obviously not very good.

"Haha, Brother Ning Xian, Brother Fool will introduce you to you, this is Sun Wufan, the second son of Lord Sun, the governor of Huguang."

Governor of Huguang? Ning Xiu couldn't help but be overjoyed, although this big tree was not thicker than the Zhang family, it was not a small sapling, enough for Ning Xiu to enjoy the shade.

It's just that this brother's name is a little joyful, and people can't help but want to laugh out loud.

Well, Son Wu Fan ......

"Brother Wu Fan Xian, this is the county student Ning Xiu I told you, and the finger cakes made by his family are a must. The people of Jingzhou City fell for it. ”

Ning Xiu was praised flutteringly, coughed and said: "Brother Mao Xiu has a good reputation, and the taste of this hand-finger cake has to be judged by Sun Gongzi himself." ”

After that, he handed the finger cake wrapped in oil paper to Sun Wufan.

"When we meet for the first time, a little heart, Sun Gongzi, please smile."

Sun Wufan shrugged his throat, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and his eyes were fixed on the oily paper bag.

As a top foodie, he has no resistance in front of food.

He had long heard that Ning Ji's hand-held cakes were full of glory in Jiangling, and he must try them today.

"Haha, then it's better to be respectful."

Sun Wufan took the oil paper bag, quickly opened it, and swallowed three finger cakes into his stomach at the speed of the wind and clouds. That's it, and licked the oil star at the corner of his mouth, with an intoxicated expression.

Ning Xiu looked confused, this boy is too ugly.

"It's worth it, it's worth it. This bread should only be in heaven, and the world can taste it a few times. ”

Sun Wufan gave a thumbs up and praised warmly: "If Brother Ning's finger cake is properly packaged, it will definitely become the first cake in the Ming Dynasty." ”

As the old saying goes, if you want to tie a man's heart, you must first tie his stomach, and Sun Wufan Sun Gongzi's stomach is obviously tied by Ning Xiu.

If you eat people and have a soft mouth, you can talk about business next.

Ning Xiu smiled and said: "Thank you Sun Gongzi for the compliment, I can't hide that Ning also wants to find a partner and work together to push the finger cake to the first place in the world." ”

Sun Wufan stared at Ning Xiu tightly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Of course, he can see the huge market behind the finger cakes.

But here's the problem, Ning Xiu agreed to him so happily to join the shares, it's a bit suspicious.

In other words, if this finger cake is really so good, why would Ning Xiu want to find a partner and share a large amount of profits for nothing?

"Haha, Brother Ning doesn't want to be surprised. In business, since you want to cooperate with Sun, you have to ask some things clearly. As far as I know, there is an endless stream of people queuing up in front of Ning Kee Restaurant every day to buy finger cakes. Why did the good little brother Ning agree to Sun's shareholding? ”
