Qi Niang had a vague smile on her face, and her look seemed to say, if you didn't increase the price from it and destroy the market, why would a Qing person be fired at a high price of 20,000 taels on the first night?

Ji Ning gave Qi Niang a smile in return, as if he was saying in return, don't you yourself also go above 10,000 taels and raise the price first?

Neither of them spoke, but it had reached the point of tension, and finally Qi Niang broke the silence and said, "Since Ji Jieyuan has already given out 20,000 taels of silver, why don't you just be with Miss Liu, but give up the opportunity and return it...... 5,000 taels of silver? But consider this a business? ”

Ji Ning replied: "Qi Niang can regard Miss Liu's belonging as a business, why not?" ”

"You!" Qi Niang was still talking to Ji Ning with a pleasant face before, and at this time, the two sides could no longer talk about the problem. Qi Niang finally said: "How can the slave family believe that Ji Jieyuan did not hide Miss Liu privately? ”

"Here is a copy of the original contract of Tianxianglou, you can see for yourself!"

Ji Ning took out the contract signed by Tianxianglou before, and on the contract, it was clearly stated that the two sides had made a decision on the ownership of Liu Ruyi, and Ji Ning got 25,000 taels of silver, and Liu Ruyi's ownership still belonged to Tianxianglou, and Tianxianglou decided Liu Ruyi's next arrangement, and there was no need for Liu Ruyi to accompany Ji Ning for three days.

"What's the matter, Qi Niang won't think that this thing is forged under the ground, right?" Ji Ning said.

Qi Niang was still suspicious before, but when she saw this contract, she was sure that Ji Ning did not deceive her, and she finally frowned, as if she was muttering to herself: "The person is not in Tianxianglou, where is he now?" Was it really hidden by them? ”

Ji Ning knew very well that the "they" mentioned by Qi Niang were the people of the Five Princes, but he pretended not to know, and said: "Since Liu Ru is not in Tianxiang Building, it must be hidden by Tianxiang Building. ”

Qi Niang said coldly: "There are some things, Ji Jieyuan doesn't know better than knows, since this business can no longer be negotiated, the slave family will leave!" If you have the opportunity, come to the door to discuss the teaching with Ji Jieyuan! ”

After speaking, Qi Niang got up and walked to the yard, but Ji Ning had no intention of sending Qi Niang off this time, until Qi Niang arrived at the door, Ji Ning personally went to the door to prepare to close the door, and he also had to tell Han Yu's people by the way, let Han Yu's people go back first.

Qi Niang went out of the yard and got into her small sedan chair directly, and the sedan chair man carried the sedan chair away, just at this time Han Yu also came with some people, and Tang Xie came over at the same time, obviously Tang Xie learned that Ji Ning might be in trouble here, and he also personally brought people over to support Ji Ning.

"It's okay." Ji Ning walked over, with gratitude on his face, "It's rare that the two of you are still worried about your safety, that Qi Niang has already left, and the business has not been negotiated!" ”

"Yongning, what kind of business is she here to talk about? This woman is not simple, in the black market of Jinling City before, she was more than 200,000 taels of silver as soon as she made a move, at that time she may have hated you, and now he is coming to you, there must be a conspiracy! Tang Xie said.

Ji Ning shook his head and said: "I don't know if she has a conspiracy, but I know that she is here for Liu Ruyi, it seems that Liu Ru disappeared in Tianxiang Building, this matter is beginning to gradually ferment, as for what secrets are hidden behind Liu Ruyi, maybe only people like Tianxianglou and Qi Niang will know!" ”

Han Yu was surprised: "Liu Ruyi? It's just a woman from the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou, born in the dust, what can she carry? Anyway, as long as she doesn't come, if Yongning has any trouble, just let us know, we will never let that woman mess around! ”

Ji Ning thanked him first, and then sent Tang Xie and Han Yu away, and together with the people brought by the two, they also went back first, and Ji Ning didn't leave any manpower here.

……

……

Ji Ning sent the guests away and asked Lin Juan'er to go home and call Lin Yi.

At this time, Lin Yi was still at home for the New Year, his wife and children were hot on the kang, and there were relatives and friends to see over there, after all, Lin Yi was also from the capital.

But when he heard that Ji Ning was summoned, he immediately followed his sister to Ji Ning's mansion without saying a word, and the two met in the main hall, at this time Lin Yi drank some wine, and his face was still drunk, but his spirit was very vibrant, and his attitude when he saw Ji Ning was also extremely respectful.

"Sir, what do you command?" Lin Yi asked respectfully.

"Look like you've been drinking?" Ji Ning said.

Lin Yi smiled ashamedly and said: "Master, today is the Spring Festival, I thought it was nothing to do, there were many relatives and friends who came to visit, so I drank some wine, these people used to be snobbish and would not come to the villain's house, but also because the villain followed the master, not only made money, but also had the lord to shelter, they heard that the villain was going to do business, and they all wanted to come over and mix!" ”

Ji Ning nodded knowingly, and said: "Originally, I didn't want to interfere with you during the Spring Festival, but there are some things that must be arranged for you to do, don't worry, things are not very complicated, and you will be able to do it soon." After you finish your work, you don't have to come back to me, just go home and rest! ”

"Yes, sir!" Lin Yi was also curious about what errand Ji Ning was going to send him.

When Ji Ning said the matter in Lin Yi's ear, Lin Yi said curiously: "Master, is that so?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, you can't be too merciful as a man, do what I say, I don't let you sin, but it's always bad to be known, you go!" After Ji Ning finished speaking, he beat Lin Yi first and left.

When Lin Yi left, Lin Juan'er and Yu Ling were still standing next to them, and they still had a little curiosity on their faces.

Yu Ling asked, "Young Master, who was that person just now...... When the slave saw her, she seemed to feel kind, as if she had seen her somewhere. ”

"Tianxianglou, I took you to Tianxianglou that day, didn't she sit next to me?" Ji Ning said.

"Oh, the slave remembered, that's it...... Uh, that's scary, how did she know we lived here? Or did she ask the young master where you lived? Yu Ling said with a slight horror.

"It doesn't matter how she found it, what matters now is to close your doors and windows, don't let people into the yard, this is the courtyard of the people, and others will have to pay the price when they come here to spread wild!" Ji Ning said sharply.

Yu Ling stuck out his tongue and said no more.

Lin Juan'er was still looking curiously, she didn't quite understand what the "Tianxiang Building" was.

Although the two girls are the same age, there is still a certain gap between them in the world, because Lin Juaner was raised by Lin Yi in the boudoir before, and she was cultivated as a big lady, but in the end, Lin Juaner is difficult to be a lady of everyone, at most she is just a canary of a small family.
