265 Threats
The tea party ended successfully, Wang Yun gained a lot, but the embroidery workshop became the biggest winner, and the advent of lace set off the enthusiasm of various cloth houses in the city for new fabrics.
The boss who came to ask for the recipe could come several times a day, and some of them were still from other counties, Lin Meiyi didn't know how the news could spread so quickly with the ancient traffic.
However, she had already set a price with Mo Qingcheng for this matter, and the contract was signed, asking for 100,000 taels of silver, and Mo Qingcheng went back to his hometown in Fucheng yesterday to find his father to make money.
So those who come can only return disappointed.
Qian Hao also came, thinking that with his friendship with Lin Meiyi, he would be able to stutter no matter what, but it turned out to be a trip for nothing.
Oh, it can't be said that it was for nothing, but Lin Meiyi promised to help him connect with Mo Qingcheng, and see if Mo Qingcheng could give him some when the time came.
Sending off Qian Hao, who was full of disappointment, Lin Meiyi closed the door and returned to the hall, and the empty hall in the past was now full of gift boxes sent by various bosses.
"Sister-in-law Xiangping." Lin Meiyi turned her head sideways to Xiangping on the side and ordered, "Make an inventory, and let Xiao Hei send it back for someone in a while." ”
The business didn't work out, and she didn't want to accept gifts, lest she fall into the mouth.
Xiangping's jaw responded, she was illiterate, so she went to the embroidery room to take the remaining colored threads used by Lin Meiyi and marked them separately.
When Xiao Hei came back from the village at noon, he asked him to send them back.
Xiao Hei was busy delivering the goods and was not available, Lin Meiyi personally picked up the dog eggs, the sisters and brothers talked about what to eat for dinner for a while while while walking, and when they arrived at the door of the house, someone suddenly called Lin Meiyi's name behind them.
"Miss Lin!"
The male voice was frivolous, with a self-righteous charm, and the dog's brows were furrowed when he heard it.
The sister and brother stood still at the door of the house, and when they looked back, they saw Duan Shenghong wearing a gilded Confucian shirt on a white background, leading a little girl with a gift box over.
"Who is he?" The dog looked up and asked his sister, he was very disgusted by the ambiguous smile on Duan Shenghong's face, and he wanted to punch him.
"Duan Shenghong, the owner of the silk village." Lin Meiyi tilted her head and snorted lightly, spit out the nausea, and then touched her brother's hair and motioned for him to go in first.
Goudan glanced at Duan Shenghong again, and saw that he just had a frivolous expression, and his movements were regular, so he entered the house first and notified Xiangping that there were guests at home.
Xiangping was busy and was about to cook two more dishes, but he didn't think about it, and as soon as he turned around, he heard Lin Meiyi's voice at the door.
"If the guests don't eat at our house, just prepare as usual."
Xiangping was slightly flustered, turned his head to look at the gate, and saw Duan Shenghong with a smile on his face, and responded in a daze: "Got it." ”
Although she doesn't know anything.
Duan Shenghong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again, looking helpless, but in fact he vomited blood.
If it weren't for the lace recipe, he would have wanted to turn around and leave now!
Lin Meiyi stood at the door silently looking at the micro-expression on his face, and didn't say anything about inviting him in, but said directly:
"If it's for the lace recipe, then please go back, I've already given it to someone else."
thought that he was so faceless, he should turn around and leave, but he didn't expect that Duan Shenghong was quite thick-skinned, and walked directly past her and entered the courtyard.
While walking, she looked at her small courtyard, and said to herself: "Although Miss Lin's yard is small, it is complete, and it can be regarded as exquisite, but the family has a large population, so I'm afraid such a small yard is not enough to live in, right?" ”
Lin Meiyi sneered, hugged her arms and followed into the courtyard, but did not answer him.
When Duan Shenghong looked at her like this, he couldn't help but wonder if she knew that she had found someone to teach her a lesson.
Otherwise, how could he do this to him just by virtue of a previous provocation on the road?
Or is it because he is close to Wang Yun that she hates him so much?
Thinking of this possibility, Duan Shenghong felt that things were a little difficult to do.
With his understanding of women, most of them have small bellies and chicken intestines, and they can take care of even big things to the point of dying, and now it seems that if they want to get the formula, they have to change their means.
"I just came back from Fucheng, and I was busy coming to see Miss Lin before I had time to rest, and now I'm so thirsty, can I ask for a glass of water?" Duan Shenghong walked into the hall and asked Lin Meiyi with a smile.
Lin Meiyi still had that sneering expression, lifted the teapot and teacup on the table, and handed it to him, "I want to drink it and pour it myself." ”
Fortunately, he brought a little girl over, otherwise Duan Shenghong's face would really be unbearable at this time.
Pour it yourself, lose face.
If you don't fall, it's still a shame.
His eyes motioned for the little girl to bring up the gift, and said to Lin Meiyi with a smile: "A little gift, girl, don't be polite." ”
"Well, you're welcome." Lin Meiyi stretched out her hand and pointed to the desk next to her, "Let it go." ”
The little guy obediently put down his things, and then came back to make tea for his master.
Lin Meiyi sat down, Duan Shenghong sat opposite her, drank tea, and said cordially:
"I heard that Miss Lin's younger siblings are in Yushan Academy, and the younger sister also worships Mrs. Xu as a teacher, which is really a coincidence."
"Oh? What's the coincidence? Lin Meiyi also poured herself a cup of tea and asked while drinking.
Duan Shenghong smiled, "Miss Lin doesn't know? Mrs. Xu once had two disciples, one of whom was now the most favored concubine. ”
Lin Meiyi frowned slightly, she had known about this for a long time, but what did this have to do with him Duan Shenghong.
Just feeling puzzled, information about Duan Shenghong's mother suddenly flashed in his mind, and before Lin Meiyi could connect this information, Duan Shenghong had already taken the first step to say the answer.
I saw him half emotionally and half proudly said: "The concubine's mother's family is the mansion of the Duke of Qi, and my mother has some in-law relationship with the ancestors of the Duchess of Qi, counting it, my mother has to call Mrs. Qi a cousin." ”
"Coincidentally, my mother just gave birth to me on the front foot, and then Mrs. Qi Guo gave birth to the son, because of the weakness of the body after childbirth, it was inconvenient to take care of the son, so I invited my mother to be a nurse for the son."
"In this way, Sister Ling and Concubine Niangniang are both disciples of Mrs. Xu, and Miss Lin and I happen to know each other, do you think this is a coincidence?"
Duan Shenghong smiled very kindly, looking at Lin Meiyi's eyes, like a brother looking at his sister.
But when he said this, even a fool could feel the coercion implicit in it.
If Lin Meiyi is willing to take out the lace formula, it is a coincidence.
But if she doesn't want to, then she has to weigh the forces behind his Duan family.
Whether it is the Duchess of Qi, the prince of Qi, or the noble concubine, it is impossible for Lin Meiyi to be provoked by a small folk girl!
By the way, there is another layer of metaphor, if Lin Meiyi doesn't cooperate, he doesn't know if her little sister can continue to be Mrs. Xu's disciple.
In the face of such a naked threat, Lin Meiyi shook her head helplessly, just wanting to sneer.
It doesn't matter if she threatens her with anything else, she can use her relatives to coerce her, that really narrows the road!
