"Why?" Li Songran was taken aback by him.

"I'm very capable, I can do anything, housekeeper, bodyguard, bookkeeper ......." Nangong Jin promoted herself seriously.

Li Songran looked at him and said helplessly: "Why do you want to go to Huai'an?" Let's be honest. I don't believe it's because of Rong Rong. ”

Nangong Jin laughed embarrassedly and scratched her head, "What do you say?" You know, I'm the poorest ...... in my family."

"Borrow money?"

"No, no......." Nangong Jin shook her head, "However, it's also borrowed." I know that Lao Li's family has always had a reputation in Huai'an. "Nangong Jin seems to have been hesitating which point to say." You also know that the Sword Dance Conference, Jingzhou has never done it, of course, because there is no money. ”

"When I came, I saw that the Kyushu Sword Dance Festival had already started, and it was very lively." Li Songran thought of something and shook his head, "Huai'an's industry does not have brothels and opera gardens, and it is not like Liu Zhizhi, who can command the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce." The Li family is just an ordinary family in Huai'an, and the ancestors have bought some properties as officials, and that's it. ”

"Actually, it's salt that leads to silver." Nangong Jin was a little embarrassed.

"I want it from my uncle, it is given by Pingyang every year, and of course most of the income also goes to Pingyang."

Nangong Jin said dejectedly: "The family has already said that I won't give it." Also, after two years, the ship of Xiang Ji will be recovered. ”

Li Songran looked at the things on the table and said seriously: "Xiangji is Xiangji, Bihaitang is Bihaitang, don't mix together." ”

Nangong Jin smiled bitterly, "Understood." Alas, come one by one. I borrowed 30,000 taels ...... from Quanzhou. ”

"Are you really borrowing money? So much! Li Songran thought of something, and pointed to the things on the table, "It can't be in the name of Bihaitang, right?" ”

"Yes." Nangong Jin looked at Li Songran, "If you want to scold, scold, anyway, Senior Brother Li has already gone to Quanzhou to get the money." ”

"No wonder you're in such a hurry to take over Bihaitang." Li Songran just wanted to say something, but shook his head again, "Uncle doesn't talk about you, and I have nothing to say." He thought about it again and said, "I can't take out 30,000 taels." ”

"I don't want 30,000 taels, I just want the sword dance in Jingzhou to start, and I want to make money, after all, I need to invest."

"However, the Sword Dance is not necessarily a sure success."

"Yes, salt introduction should be considered a safe profit, it's just a matter of how much." Nangong Jin looked at Li Songran quite sincerely, "So, I want to take the risk, can you take a stake in Yanyin, and the specific business is still Jingzhou Santang to operate?" ”

Li Songran closed the account book, thought for a long time, and said slowly: "One or two thousand is just a drop in the bucket. Huai'an here, in fact, I just took over, Uncle Wu helped a little before, but a lot of it hasn't been sorted out yet, to be honest, I don't know how much I can come up with. ”

Nangong Jin nodded. It sounds so good, and in the end it is no different from borrowing money, and it is normal for Songran to disagree. It is still necessary to think carefully about how to open the handicap, and always feel that there is something feasible.

"When are you leaving?" Li Songran asked suddenly.

Nangong Jin was thinking of other ways, and was stunned by his question, "What?" ”

"You're not going to Huai'an with me? I want to try how capable you are. Li Songran said very casually.

Nangong Jin was stunned, and suddenly laughed, "Really? Not angry? ”

"What's so angry. You're much worse in comparison. I owe so much debt that I can't sleep early. ”

"Haha, tomorrow?"

"What about the kids?"

"Oh, kid....... Take it with you, they are also veterans. Nangong Jin smiled, and was a little proud.

Li Songran shook his head, "Send it back, if you do it again, your sister-in-law is really going to kill you." ”

**********

Unexpectedly, Nangong Pu arrived the next day, and coincidentally even Nangong Jin didn't believe it. Anyway, it's no secret that you're being watched by your family, it doesn't matter.

However, in just a few days, the two children fell in love with Yao Fangyu. Cheng Rui showed the straw weaving of the twelve zodiac signs to Nangong Pu one by one, and said that Aunt Yu and Uncle can do everything. In the end, they were put in a box and taken home. Cheng Jun didn't say anything, but said very meaningfully, "Master, even if it's a fixed matter, you have to work hard." Nangong Jin had no choice but to reply, "If you don't pass the test, you will be served." 'God knows, what are the door rules?' He's a teacher, there should be door rules, right?

Nangong Jin talked with Zhao Fengming again before leaving, and decided that the sword dance in Jingzhou would be held first, and the upper limit of investment was tentatively set at 5,000 taels. By the way, I still want Nangong Wan to make ready-to-wear clothes, at least to lay a foundation for the future, whether it is for the eldest sister or for myself, how to say that this is what I promised at the beginning.

On the first day of leaving Jingzhou, Nangong Jin and Yao Fangyu rode in front, leisurely, not at all like a hurry, like a hike. The next day, Nangong Jin changed his itinerary and went to Yanzhou first and then to Huai'an, but Yanzhou and Huai'an are two directions. Li Songran didn't want to be in the middle of the two, and proposed to go back to Huai'an first, but Nangong Jin pulled him hard, saying that he hadn't returned to Yanzhou for a long time, so let's go back and have a look.

In the past few days, Li Songran began to think about life. Could it be that a person who is usually quite smart, after meeting the woman he loves, will become indistinguishable and judgmentless? The one in front of her, if Miss Yao were to refer to a deer as a horse, she would say that it was a horse. Even Li Songran has been struggling, should I remind him, don't always look at Miss Yao, her face is full of smiles, she is too reserved, even if she is her own wife, she shouldn't be like this, right? Alas, in short, take it as a warning, and you can't do that anyway.

**********

By the time I arrived at Yanzhou Jimin Hall, it was already sunset.

Meng Xian was already preparing to close the store, but Nangong Jin was still the same as before, and stepped forward to pick up the door panel to help close the door. Meng Xian was stunned and looked at him stunned.

"No, Uncle Meng? Don't know me anymore? Nangong Jin smiled and continued to help with the door panel.

Meng Xian muttered two words, "Yunshi ......." Tears came out of his eyes, and he immediately rushed up to grab the door panel in his hand, and said anxiously: "Put it down, put it down, don't be tired." Go in, go in, it's cold outside. ”

"It's okay, it's been okay for a long time." Nangong Jin smiled and installed the door panel.

Meng Xian pulled him to look at him carefully, and finally cried, "You, you're back." ”

"I'm back." Seeing that Meng Xian still couldn't stop crying, he simply hugged him and whispered in his ear: "I'm going to get married this year, bring her to you to see, and I will definitely come to Pingyang to drink happy wine then, and I will send someone to pick you up." The neighborhood is coming. ”

Meng Xian was stunned again and forgot to cry.

Nangong Jin continued in his ear: "I didn't tell her about the last ......, so I said that I had a cold. ”

Meng Xian nodded, Nangong Jin let go of him and helped him wipe his tears, "Uncle Meng, come, let me introduce." Holding Meng Xian's hand, he walked up to Yao Fangyu, "This is Yao Fangyu Yao girl, beautiful." ”

Meng Xian kept nodding and said happily: "Beautiful, she looks like a good girl." He turned to Nangong Jin and said, "You have to treat others well." ”

"That's for sure." Nangong Jin turned his head to Yao Fangyu again and said, "This is Uncle Meng Xian, the shopkeeper of Jimin Hall, I used to live in his house." ”

Yao Fangyu saluted respectfully, "Uncle Meng." ”

Meng Xian hurriedly said: "Which one is that he lives in my house, I live in his house, and Yunshi has always taken care of me." He even handed me the money, saying that he was afraid of spending it indiscriminately, haha, the marble is close to me. ”

"I'm embarrassed to say that. And Songran, who has seen it. ”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Li." Meng Xian was very happy, "Let's go in." Don't dislike it, the house is very messy, and it hasn't been cleaned up. Alas, Yunshi should have been informed earlier. Seeing everyone entering, he pulled Nangong Jin again, "I, I haven't prepared, I'll go and book a table in the evening, right?" ”

"No, it's all my own people, I'll burn a few in a while." Nangong Jin said with a smile.

Meng Xian was anxious, "Then there must be vegetables, no, I'll buy it." ”

"It's okay, I'll go with my daughter-in-law in a while." Nangong Jin said with a smug face.

"No, no, I'll go." Meng Xian didn't pay attention to his little smugness at all, and hurriedly left as he spoke.

Nangong Jin hurriedly caught up and stuffed a few taels of silver, "Home-cooked food is ready, they are used to eating big fish and meat." ”

"Yes, you go in and entertain the guests."

In the store, Yao Fangyu didn't know what to ask, and Li Songran was answering, "...... It seems that Ah Jin said that this was his first business, and he spent almost all the money at that time. ”

"Sit down for a while, I'll close the door." Nangong Jin said, installing all the remaining door panels. "Uncle Meng went to buy vegetables, I'll cook a few in a while."

"I think there are only two rooms here, let's stay at the guest house." Li Songran reminded.

"Do you want to squeeze? Ono sleeps in my room, let's make a bunk here? Nangong Jin suggested.

Li Songran was reluctant, "Don't...... ”

"We'll talk about that later." Nangong Jin smiled and pulled Yao Fangyu, "I'll take you first." This is a shop, and Jimintang is a pharmacy, and there is no doctor, so I do a small business among the neighborhoods. ”

The shop is very small, with a row of medicine cabinets and a few glances. However, Yao Fangyu still nodded with a smile and looked around, "Not bad." ”

"Yes, thanks to the care of the neighbors, I can fill my stomach." Nangong Jin smiled happily, and then pulled her into the backyard, "Uncle Meng and I live in the back." There is a kitchen, a warehouse, and two rooms. You alright? ”

Stepping through the middle door, it was a small courtyard, still seeing it at a glance, Yao Fangyu continued to smile and nodded.

"I haven't been here for a long time, so Uncle Meng is left to live alone. Come, my room. Nangong Jin opened his room, Meng Xian cleaned it clean, and said with a smile: "With Uncle Meng here, I think this place is quite like a home." ”

"So, you're not going back to Pingyang?" Yao Fangyu asked casually.

"I didn't think about it that much." Nangong Jin smiled, "The neighbors may come in a while, you can meet them." They are all very nice and have lived here for decades. ”

"You've said it, I understand." Yao Fangyu laughed again.

"Oh, yes, oh, hehe, you're tired, aren't you? Sit in my room for a while, and I'll go boil water and make tea. Nangong Jin excitedly went out to boil water.
