There was a moment of embarrassment in the flower hall, Nangong Pu smiled, but he didn't know what to say for a while. After hesitating, I heard an old, loud voice coming from outside the door.

"Let that unscrupulous come out! If it's a big fart, it's going to be all over the city! What if it's a big house?! I'm not dead, old man! You can manage it! ”

Nangong Pu hurriedly asked Zhang Huili for a crime and hurried out. Standing in the patio outside the door was the ancestor of the second room, Nangong Sheng.

"Uncle." Nangong Pu greeted him and said with a smile: "My mother and they are all in the backyard, it is rare for my uncle to come, go to Fuqinxuan and sit down." ”

"Why should I see your mother?" Nangong Sheng glared, but Nangong Dingchang didn't follow, and beside him was Sun Nangong Jue, the second room chief who was the same generation as Nangong Pu, waiting for him.

Nangong Pu smiled and said to Nangong Jue: "Ninth brother, let's go to the backyard with my uncle first." I still have a guest ...... here. ”

"You're great if you have a guest?!" Nangong Sheng glared at him, "I'm here to scold you!" Scold your fox friends and dogs! "The crutches on the pillar in his hand poked the ground with a bang.

"Uncle ,......。" Nangong Pu was about to say that the visitor was Lord Zhang, the prefect of Pingyang, but Nangong Sheng didn't give him a chance at all.

"You don't have the slightest concentration, you panic like this at the slightest hint?! How did your dad teach you? In the future, your father will not be there, and my old man will take care of the affairs of the clan! Nangong Sheng said this almost half-roaring.

Nangong Pu was unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't show it on his face, so he could only stand respectfully all the time, blocking the door, at least he couldn't let Nangong Sheng enter the door and yell at Zhang Huili.

As soon as Nangong Sheng's words fell, Zhou Tang quickly stepped into the courtyard gate, followed by Wen Chu with an anxious face.

"It turned out to be the second uncle." Zhou Tang smiled politely, then turned his head and blamed Nangong Pu and said: "Even if you discuss business with Lord Zhang in the Pingyang Prefect, you should receive your uncle first." The elders in the family, how can they be so lazy? ”

Hearing the 'Pingyang Prefect', Nangong Sheng was stunned, and didn't react for a moment to say anything.

Nangong Pu stepped forward, "What the mother taught is that the child is guilty." He apologized to Nangong Sheng again: "It was all Ah Pu's fault before, and I ask my uncle to forgive me." Can you please move to the backyard flower hall and sit down? ”

Seeing that Nangong Sheng was still standing and didn't seem to come back to his senses, Zhou Tang stepped forward and said, "Second uncle, it's cold outside, go to the flower hall to sit for a while, and when Ah Pu is done talking, let him make amends." ”

Nangong Sheng snorted coldly, and let Nangong Jue walk towards the backyard.

Zhou Tang looked at Nangong Pu and gave him a reassuring look. Nangong Pu nodded.

Zhang Huili was drinking tea in the room, although he listened to the scene through the door, he couldn't say anything, and when he saw Nangong Pu coming in, he just smiled slightly and didn't make a sound.

"Sorry, long waiting." Nangong Pu's expression was slightly embarrassed.

Zhang Huili nodded as if he knew very well, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. ”

Nangong Pu smiled, and returned to the previous topic and said: "Our Nangong clan lives in Pingyang, so we will not move out rashly. However, there are elderly and weak women and children at home, so let the nursing home be more diligent and make more preparations, which can also make everyone feel at ease. ”

"I don't believe in Mr. Zhang, the goods are running and the dart game is always open, and several stores that are stockpiling will reopen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. As for the goods shipped out, they are just transferred from various places, and in a few days, there will also be goods that will be shipped. These arrangements are for stocking up on local fashion stores. ”

Nangong Pu looked at Zhang Huili, "Everything is crowded together, if there were no rumors of Tatar attack, there would be no such misunderstanding." ”

Regardless of whether what he said was true or not, Zhang Huili could only nod and say: "With your words, I am also relieved." Is it possible to open the shop of Lingyufang first? Otherwise, our entire Binh Duong really seems deserted. ”

"Okay, I understand." Nangong Pu responded with a smile.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Zhang Huili finally said goodbye and left, no matter what, his goal should be achieved.

After Zhang Huili left, there was a faint light rain in the sky, and Nangong Pu sat alone in the living room for a long time. The intention of the uncle in the backyard has long been clear, and it is not the first time that they want to divide the real power within the clan, as long as Nangong Dingkang is not in Pingyang for a period of time, they will come to make trouble. Nangong Pu was depressed in his heart, and he really didn't want to deal with him, but he had to go.

In the flower hall in the backyard, Zhou Tang accompanied Nangong Sheng to chat about family life, but Nangong Sheng had an attitude of ignoring it, but fortunately, Nangong Jue still knew some etiquette, so as not to make the scene too embarrassing.

"Uncle." Nangong Pu saluted when he entered the door.

Nangong Sheng didn't raise his eyes and said, "What are you talking about with Master Zhang?" ”

"Nothing, some trifles." Nangong Pu didn't want to answer.

"Can't say? With you, is there anything you can't talk about? Nangong Sheng was going to be angry again.

"Lord Zhang is approachable, and some government affairs in Pingyang will also be discussed with me, although they are all trivial matters such as building roads and walls, but for Pingyang Prefecture, they are all for the people." Nangong Pu replied.

"Really?" Nangong Sheng glanced at him, "It's just that I want you to pay for it." ”

Nangong Pu smiled and didn't answer, but fortunately, Nangong Sheng didn't dwell on this matter, just listened to him continue: "Tell me, what have you done these days?" ”

Nangong Pu smiled slightly, knowing the purpose of the second room, so he said: "When the goods store opened in Jingzhou, I instructed all places to transfer some goods, including Pingyang. In a few days, when the other side is cleaned up, some goods will be brought over. In addition, there are several shops that are inventorying, and the accounts to be settled before the year before have not been made, so they have been postponed to these days. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the shops in Lingyufang will be opened. It's just that there are rumors of a war, and everyone misunderstands it. ”

"Really?" Nangong Sheng obviously didn't believe it, "Everything is done together, and I don't know how important it is." And seemed to say lightly: "Starting tomorrow, each church will report the situation and send a copy to the Rising Sun Village." When your father is not there, my old man will be affected and check for the clan. ”

Zhou Tang frowned, and said casually: "It's not impossible, it's just that although Dingkang is not there, he also signed the situation of each hall." Second uncle, does this believe in the patriarch Dingkang? ”

"He signed it?" Nangong Sheng didn't believe it again.

"Yes, Dingkang is in the capital, if it weren't for the national funeral, he would have come back early. Now, it's also because the affairs of the capital are more urgent, and I want to fight for more interests for the clan. What Zhou Tang said was a matter of course.

"Oh? What can he do in Kyori? Nangong Sheng looked at him, but he wanted Zhou Tang to speak more carefully.

Zhou Tang smiled and said: "I'm just a woman's family, how can Dingkang tell me this?" ”

Nangong Sheng looked at Nangong Pu.

Nangong Pu avoided what was going on in Beijing, nodded and said, "Mother's words are true. Uncle, the current affairs of the clan are obviously my agent, but in fact, they are all handled according to my father's wishes. This takes into account the fact that the old age of the various families is high, and the father means that he cannot be tired no matter what. ”

Nangong Sheng was quite unhappy and sat silently.

Zhou Tang said with a smile: "It's not a New Year's Day, it's really rare for the second uncle to come, it's better for our family to get together, Dingkang is not there, let Ah Pu entertain ......." ”

"No, it's not like I haven't eaten in this house. When I lived here, you didn't know where it was. After speaking, he stood up, "Jue'er, let's go." ”

The old man who was in a hurry finally left, and Zhou Tang asked, "Your father has no news yet?" ”

Nangong Pu nodded, "Li Mo may not be familiar with Jingli, and there is no news yet." ”

"Where's Ah Jin?"

Nangong Pu sighed lightly, "He may not have arrived in the Central Plains yet." ”

**********

The ban has long been lifted in the capital, not only the new emperor ascended the throne, but even the day of the burial of the first emperor was set. All the people who should have gone are gone, including Jiang Sunsin. Only Nangong Dingkang was left, but he was not in the inn, but in the Jinyi Guard command post.

"You really don't write?" Sitting opposite Nangong Dingkang, it was Yang Junqing who asked him.

Nangong Dingkang smiled bitterly, "Lord Yang, you asked me to write the list of shareholders of Quanzhou Xiangji, I really don't know." As I said before, Cheung Kee shareholders are public. If Lord Yang is free, go to Quanzhou Xiangji, and ask a little guy casually, you should be able to know. ”

Yang Junqing smiled, "What I want is a real shareholder, not an agent written on the surface." ”

"Lord Yang, I don't know what you said."

Yang Junqing sighed, "I wanted to talk to you about it, starting from the beginning when I wanted to invest in Xiangji." Mr. Nangong, I really want to buy shares, and the 15,000 taels of silver tickets are here, but you haven't even seen it. If you keep doing this, we can't talk about it. ”

The expression on Nangong Dingkang's face really couldn't be more bitter, "Xiangji, it's not controlled by the clan at all, it's not good to say, to them, it's useless for me to say anything." They are just a name for Jiaoyin, Lord Yang really doesn't believe it, and the documents of Xiangji are in Pingyang, I can send someone to show Lord Yang. ”

"Isn't Nangong Jin your son?" Yang Junqing glared at him and asked. If it's not, then it's a big deal.

"My son likes this, and when Lao Tzu can't interfere everywhere, right? Besides, it was an industry made by himself, and it was already very generous to be recognized as the property of the clan. Nangong Dingkang smiled, "Isn't there any industry under Lord Yang's name?" Could it be that Mr. Yang can still clearly know the name of the shopkeeper of a certain shop of Mr. Yang? ”

Yang Junqing glared at him, remembering that Yang Junyuan was pulling him alive and dead, not letting him take Nangong Dingkang, and he actually felt a little funny. "Okay, you live here, it's up to you to see if your son comes back. Alas, my patience is limited. With that, he left.

Nangong Dingkang has been living here for several days, and the room is very simple, with a table, stool, basin, and a hard bed. Every day, washing, combing, eating, and even the toilet is emptied. Nangong Dingkang knew that he was under house arrest here, and he didn't know anything except guessing that it was because of Nangong Jin.

Actually, the guards here are not strict, but dare to go? Come to think of it, no one has been convicted at the moment, otherwise they should have been imprisoned, not under house arrest.

Fortunately, the room is facing south, and the window allows sunlight to let in. Have a pen and paper, draw flowers, plants, fish and insects, and try not to be bored. Now I'm afraid that I won't be worried if I don't have my own news at home, alas, Ah Pu should be able to handle it.
