096. A one-of-a-kind idea
After sending Wu Xin, I saw Chengjun standing at the door of the main room. Nangong Jin had already told him that there was a guest today, and let him do his own homework, and when he saw him here, he felt a little blamed in his heart, "Something?" ”
Chengjun looked at Nangong Jin and whispered, "Master, I want to talk to you." ”
"Say it." Nangong Jin didn't enter the room either, standing at the door, with a lot of meaning to just talk about it.
Cheng Jun bit his lip and said softly: "Before, the master said that being a master is obliged to teach disciples. But I've been apprenticed for almost half a month, and the master hasn't taught anything. ”
"I said a long time ago, there is nothing to teach you, but you don't believe it."
Cheng Jun lowered his head and pointed to the main room, "I'm already your disciple, why can't I enter this room?" ”
"You want to come in?" It's not the first time he's thought so, and Nangong Jin is not surprised.
Chengjun nodded.
"It's not impossible, but it's ......." Although Nangong Jin didn't like him very much, he didn't want to make things difficult either, "However, you have to do one thing first." ”
"What?"
"Have you ever seen a plan to build a house?"
Chengjun shook his head.
"Draw the whole yard where you live now, you can imagine yourself standing on a ten-zhang high platform, looking down at that yard, what you think it is, you can draw it." Nangong Jin always reminded himself that he was his master, and finally finished patiently.
Cheng Jun frowned and thought, Nangong Jin said: "It's useless to stand here and think about it, go back to your yard and think about it." Even if you don't have a ten-zhang high platform, you have to find a way. Draw it and you can get in. After saying that, he entered the room and closed the door casually.
Chengjun stood at the door for a long time and had no choice but to leave.
Nangong Jin looked at the self-made Daming whole map, and said to himself: "Alas, why do you want to draw the terrain." After painting these, I can't see anyone. Then, he found a sheet and wrapped the whole picture.
It didn't take long for Chengjun to knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he said, "Master, I won't." ”
"As I just said, it's similar to the pattern of building a house, you can't, you can go and find out what the pattern is like first." Nangong Jin was still blocking the door.
"Is it a picture from home? But this house, I'm afraid it's hundreds of years old, where can I find the pattern? Chengjun said aggrievedly.
"You can draw any pattern, you can look at it first, and then figure out how to draw it. Go ahead. With that, he closed the door again.
**********
Wu Xin didn't let Nangong Jin wait for a long time, settled Feng Mo'er, and hurried to the West Courtyard. Nangong Jin seemed to guess his intention, took him out of the west courtyard, and leisurely strolled around the garden.
"You ......, have children?" Wu Xin was a little curious about the two children running in and out of the west courtyard.
"Hey, don't mention it. My brother's. Nangong Jin looked helpless.
Wu Xin laughed, "Oh, there's a story? Haha, let's hear it. ”
"If I say there's an apprentice of mine, do you believe it?"
"Seriously?"
"I don't know, I hope not."
"If it's serious, then your eldest brother really trusts you and will hand over his children to you, hahaha......." Wu Xin is gloating in a picture.
"Not only that, but also the grandson of the long house!" Nangong Jin added a little more weight.
Wu Xin smiled even more, "Do you want me to say, your whole family is big enough?" ”
Nangong Jin sighed and shook his head, Wu Xin walked for a while and laughed again.
"What? Funny? Nangong Jin looked at him.
"Honestly, don't be angry. Haha, I don't think you're very patient on your side. Wu Xin said with a smile.
"Huh? Can you see this? ”
"You're sorry for Rong Rong. Also, I saw the second boy just now, the older one was crying, and the younger one kept persuading, as if he was talking about the master or something," he said while looking at Nangong Jin, "Being a master is not a simple matter, the responsibility is very heavy, if you are not ready, it is better not to take it." ”
"Well, that's up to me." With a wry smile, the topic changed, "I told Song Ran that some of the supplies are coming from Huai'an." However, if it's too late this time, it's better to prepare in Quanzhou, and the ship is fine, right? ”
Wu Xin didn't expect him to change the topic so quickly, "Only to Nanyang?" Not a big problem. Arrive at the house of Xiang Kee? ”
"Yes. I think it's over here, and I'm going with you. Nangong Jin said his plan.
Wu Xin stopped and looked at Nangong Jin, "Your family agrees?" ”
Nangong Jin laughed, "I'll say it well." ”
Wu Xin shook his head, "It has nothing to do with whether you say it well or not." Not to mention going to Nanyang, just your ...... is not likely to be agreed to by my son. Look at him again, "It seems that you want to use a disagreeing approach?" ”
"Ah, you have a son? I haven't heard you say that. Nangong Jin asked with a hippie smile.
"Nonsense. My son doesn't have as much of an idea as you, but he's much better than you. Wu Xin squinted at him.
"You don't think you agree?" Seeing Wu Xin shaking his head, "Okay, then I always have a way." ”
The two continued to wander around the garden, and after a while, Wu Xin asked, "Do you really want to go to Nanyang, or do you just want to find a reason to leave?" ”
"There's a difference?"
"If you think of Nanyang, then I can understand that you are anxious about Xiangji. But if you just want to leave ......," Wu Xin paused, "Uncle Wu doesn't want to mind your business, it's just that now that you and I are in the same boat, you must let me judge my own situation correctly." Seeing that Nangong Jin didn't answer, he continued: "I have a home, Ah Jin." When Brother Zhao brought us together again, we thought he wanted to make a comeback, and the three of us arranged family affairs and followed him again. Wu Xin walked into the pavilion and sat down, "You and I are in Quanzhou together, which can be regarded as a common hardship." But, you give me the feeling that you will withdraw at any time ....... ”
"Not really." Nangong Jin also sat down and smiled awkwardly.
Wu Xin also laughed, "Heh, you don't care about the money; Responsibility, I don't know how much responsibility can occupy in your heart, maybe you just feel interested, and after the excitement, forget it. ”
"I look so unreliable?"
"I don't know, it depends on what you say." Wu Xin said with a smile.
After a long time, Nangong Jin sighed, "Maybe I made the wrong decision at the beginning. Actually, I'm not a person who likes to change. Now ......, it's better to stay the same for so long. ”
"You mean, Nangong Jin's identity is not as good as Luo Yunshi?"
"I've reflected on it several times, and even I don't think it's meaningless."
Wu Xin laughed, "Oh, it turns out that the apprentice is the idea of keeping people, it's really ......, alas, ......." ”
Nangong Jin laughed at herself, "Yes, I guarantee that I will have food for a long time." After eating my father and mother, eating my eldest brother, eating my eldest brother, eating my nephew. How nice. ”
Wu Xin was stunned, "Ah Jin," and said in a heartfelt manner, "Why do you think your father is a guest at the banquet this time?" Birthday for your mother? The opening of the ancestral hall is not a year or a festival, just to give you a family tree? Even if he is the patriarch, he will be scolded by the clan elder. In the end, it's about justifying your name and explaining your weight. Your father and mother did this, and they sent an edict to the world. ”
Nangong Jin shrugged, "I don't care, anyway, they didn't ask me about the decision they made before." ”
"You really don't know what your dad did for you?" Wu Xin didn't know what to say, "Before, Taiyuan Guo and Fenzhou Wang had accidents in a row. Now, everyone says that your father did it, and your father doesn't clarify it at all. ”
"He didn't get along with a few families."
"It's because of your injuries."
"Even I don't know what's going on, how can he be sure who did it? Besides, if that's the case, am I not innocently implicated? ”
Wu Xin shook his head helplessly, thought for a while and asked, "If they don't let you go to Nanyang, what will you do?" Run? If the destination is Quanzhou, then there is no point in running, everyone knows that you are going. Wu Xin looked at him, sighed for a while, "You won't go to Quanzhou, play and disappear?" ”
Nangong Jin didn't look at him or answer, Gu Zi got up and walked away, turned his back to Wu Xin, and pretended to look at the garden.
Wu Xin changed his posture to a more comfortable position, and said with a smile: "You even arranged Dr. Xiao Du." Xiang Ji, I came up with this idea, I'm afraid I want to give it to Li Songran. ”
Nangong Jin shook his head, "I said, I'll talk to them well." ”
"So, you're second-hand." Wu Xin also stood up, walked up to him and asked, "Can you take the third way?" ”
"What?"
"You just want to leave, but if you disappear like before, your father and mother can't accept it, and they will guard against you. But if you say you are going to Quanzhou, when it comes to the sky, they also understand that your goal is Nanyang, and the reason why they don't let you go is because they are afraid that your body will not be able to stand it. Actually, you can say a place that they can accept, leave first, offer to let the family send someone to follow you, and don't do anything about running away from home, isn't it? Wu Xin gave him an idea.
Nangong Jin laughed, "Jingzhou? ”
Wu Xin asked rhetorically: "Don't you want to accept Jiangling satin?" Are there any other people in Jingzhou that you don't know? Then he said: "Since I am in Quanzhou, it seems that the trade route between Quanzhou and Jingzhou is the only one that you have opened." Let's talk about the whole charter of sea vessels, think of a good way to talk to the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce. As for Nanyang, I'll go and see it, it's not far anyway. ”
Nangong Jin thought about it and smiled slightly, "Sounds good." ”
"It's good. Oh, what do you think of what Mo'er mentioned? ”
Nangong Jin sighed, "It's very risky." But I don't know if the benefits are enough to cover the risks. After all, we are short of money. ”
"When she first talked to me, I was also shocked. However, after thinking about it for a long time, we are in the maritime business, if you really think that the best destination is Luzon, which is close to Daming and has better income, the reason why no one fights this idea is nothing more than piracy. In fact, after several battles, pirates in the Quanzhou area have become unpopular, but Luzon is far from the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and our business is not protected. Therefore, according to Mo'er's method, it is indeed safer than loading guns on a ship. We're a threat to the pirates, just watch out for the government. I also thought about opening the sea market in Guangzhou, and if I really can't go in and out of Guangzhou, I will pay an extra amount of taxes. ”
"But after all, this ship is under the name of Xiang Ji, if there is a crime of complication, it will be a big loss." Nangong Jin said the biggest problem.
"That's a problem. Unless it's not under the name of Xiang Ji," Wu Xin shook his head and smiled, "If it's not under Xiang Ji's name, there is no need for Mo'er to cooperate with us." ”
"There is another way, and that is to let the government say that we have not communicated with the Japanese." Nangong Jin thought of Ling Zheng and blurted out.
"How?" Wu Xin was puzzled, this seemed unlikely.
Nangong Jin turned his head to look at Wu Xin and pouted, "I didn't think about it." However, since you want to do this, it is better to let Sister Feng make it bigger. ”
"How big?"
"There are not only Ming people, but also Japanese people and foreigners. It's better to make a flower boat on the sea, more luxurious, there is food and play, and there is a market, selling and buying things. If this is the case, she has invested a lot, and the lease period can be longer, which Sister Feng should be good at. "If Ling Zheng is in the background, the bigger this thing is, the more convenient it will be for him.
"You ......, I thought Mo'er was bold enough, but I didn't expect you to be bold." Wu Xin shook his head with a smile.
"The key here is that Sister Feng can mention it like this, there should be a way, right? Of course, we only charter boats, and it's her business to lose money and make money. "If you hand this matter over to Ling Zheng, and Feng Mo'er doesn't do it, she will definitely be ridiculed to death by Zheng Shu.
