Su Jing pursed his thick lips and nodded heavily: "A month ago, there was news in the palace that they were going to buy war horses for the Shence Army, and a few days ago I went to meet the Taifu Secretary and confirmed it again, and the plan has indeed been drawn up, about after the autumn of next year, this matter is very important, I am afraid that the number of silk supplied by the whole country will increase several times next year, Jiangnan, Hebei, and Henan have heard that the decree to persuade farmers to teach Sangsang has been issued, and Boluan will also go back to Yangzhou and Hezhong Mansion in person before the New Year. ”

"Oh, for such a big matter, those stewards are afraid that they won't be able to do it, Xiaolang should go there himself", Qi replied thoughtfully.

"Not only that", Su Jing's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled: "The mansion and cabinet business in Beijing have made the Tao family get a big head, we still have to work the old bank, I also roughly heard that next year only Yima will need to hand over nearly 10,000 horses of silk to the Turks, except for Hebei and Shuzhong, the amount that fell into the hands of Jiangnan and Hezhong is probably more than three or four thousand horses, after the agricultural decree was issued, the output of silk is considerable, so we must rush to book the silk in the hands of all the mulberry farmers before the major merchants. ”

"Oh, Xiaolang and the second aunt can call the shots on their own, and there is no need to tell the slave family and Ning'er."

Su Jing and Zhou looked at each other, and a trace of bitterness suddenly appeared on their faces.

Zhou couldn't help but look at Suning'er and Qi again coldly, and said with a warm smile:

"After all, this matter is related to the survival of the Su family, and I still have to let my brother and sister-in-law and Ning Er know, this year I donated the official position of the court for Su Lang, and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in the house, and the slave family also recognized the things that Su Lang planned at the moment, but if you want to take down the Jiangnan and Luoyang places, the money spent is very huge, and with the remaining cash in the house, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do so, and I will also mortgage the ancestral house in Yangzhou and the mansion and land over there."

Su Ning'er was flustered when she heard this, this is to use the entire Su family's property to gamble on this business.

However, she knew that she couldn't intervene in these things, and she was just accompanying the mother to listen to them.

Qi Shi was also a little uneasy, looked at the couple and asked, "Xiaolang and the second aunt seem to be ventilated, right?" ”

Zhou squinted his eyes and replied without thinking: "The slave family thinks that there is not much risk, now that the sea route is picking up, those Hu merchants are also looking forward to changing more silk to go back, our business in the capital, whether it is a shop, a shop, or a tribute to the palace is not as good as the Tao family, and we can only fight in this regard, and we can't let the Tao family suppress everywhere." ”

"Oh, since Xiaolang and the second aunt have an idea, there is no need to ask the slave family's opinion", Qi said and looked at Suning'er again: "This girl doesn't know business, and she is a daughter's family, so she can't help much, Xiaolang needs to be cautious in everything." ”

Su Jing frowned, and his face suddenly became a little deep: "Bo Luan should keep in mind the teachings of his brother and sister-in-law, but Bo Luan is about to leave Beijing in the near future, and his brother and sister-in-law still have to help Liu Niang in the affairs of the house", and then he glanced at Zhou again, and there was some helplessness in his tone: "She is still not as stable as her brother and sister-in-law." ”

Zhou didn't refute this time, although he was a little annoyed, he still replied as docile as possible: "You Tian Shehan, what do you say, don't worry about going to take care of the affairs of various places, and the slave family in Beijing will go to discuss with your brother and sister-in-law in case of trouble." ”

"Hmm", Su Jing grinned bitterly, still a little uneasy, stared at Sun Ning'er, and said earnestly: "If the marriage with Qingwangfu can be decided, I will also send someone to Yangzhou to deliver the letter earlier, if everything goes well, I will return to Beijing before the New Year." ”

Everyone listened quietly, and Zhou's eyes became deeper at this time, and he whispered: "I just hope that the ancestors will bless me, don't have any accidents this time, if you can save this family affair with Qingwangfu, it will be much smoother for the Su family in the future." ”

"That's right."

......

Although this family banquet looked much more harmonious than before, Suning'er still felt a little heavy.

Moreover, after a few words between Zhou and the second uncle, the dishes were also half cold, and although she also asked the kitchen to bring a few dishes again, she finally felt a little boring.

Just now, Zhou's words were very good, but in the last half month of Su Jing's absence, Zhou didn't come to Tanghua Courtyard to embarrass because of the divorce.

said that she would discuss things with the Qi family, and it was really hard for Su Ning'er to believe it, she couldn't be clearer about Zhou's temperament.

When he was calm, he said that once something happened, his brain would inevitably be denied by his six relatives.

Therefore, Suninger felt an unprecedented pressure and panic.

Back in Tanghua Courtyard, Qi led her to the side room, the mother and daughter sat down, and she had a deep conversation at the table, she had a lot to say to this daughter.

Suninger is also very aware of the current situation, so she has already made plans and is ready to listen to this mother's teachings.

Qi instructed Qingchun to go to the inner room and bring a box of desserts over, handed it to Suning'er, with a smile in his mouth, and said kindly: "Eat some more, I asked Qingchun to go to Jingyunzhai to buy it in the afternoon." ”

Su Ning'er looked at the pink dessert in front of her, her heart was warm, she really didn't know what to say, her mother was afraid that it was a roundworm in her stomach, how could she anticipate things first every time.

These days, her gluttony has not weakened by half a point, even if she is reborn once, she still loves to eat. If you don't have an appetite, once you have an appetite, it's absolutely out of control, so it's not polite to pick up the box of desserts, and eat it with a smile.

Not long after she came here, she had actually eaten such a snack, and the layer of cane syrup wrapped on the outside, sometimes even honey, had a strong sweet aroma, and the mouth was very silky and delicious.

Qin'er and Shuang'er said that this dim sum is called "Crisp Mountain" and is very popular at banquets everywhere. And Jing Yun Zhai's practice is even more chic, not only the color is gorgeous, the workmanship is also very exquisite, a light bite, it has been sweet through the entire heart.

In the past, Suning'er liked to eat this snack very much, so now she is just continuing this habit, and it doesn't surprise Qi's family, but she finds that this little girl is eating more now, and she is distressed, so she has to let Qingchun prepare more every time she goes out.

Taking advantage of her pleasure in eating, the words that Qi Shi hid in her heart were silent at this time, and said slowly: "Uncle Fang Cai's words Ning Er have all written down?" ”

Su Ning'er pinched a piece of crisp mountain in her hand, thought about it slightly, and then responded shallowly.

"King Qing......", she pursed her lips and looked at her warmly, and smiled knowingly: "I didn't expect King Qing to treat Ning'er so kindly, A-Niang is really a little panicked in her heart, I'm afraid there are a lot of things sent today, right?" ”

"Hmm", Su Ning'er raised her head and showed a silly smile: "It seems to be a lot, it's just .......", thinking of Su Ningxiang, she didn't continue.

Qi Shi looked at each other with warm eyes, and knew what she wanted to express, and spread out his palm and gently brushed it on her bun:

"After all, Xiang'er's girl is still young, Ning'er is running this time, she is a saint and a king of Qing, and she has been rewarded again and again, I am afraid that even if your father is still alive, she will be surprised, which is what our Su family dared to hope for before",

Saying that, she also shook her head a little incredulously: "Don't say it's Xiang'er, even A-Niang hasn't come to her senses until now, Xiang'er is afraid that she is so happy that she has no sense of proportion, so don't worry about her as the eldest sister, after all, she is still your own sister." ”

Su Ning'er had no intention of dealing with that little ancestor, but now that the Qi family said so, she naturally felt even more embarrassed to say anything, so she nodded without hesitation.

Qi Shi was relieved, and after a moment of silence, a trace of cunning slipped across his face, and the tone of his speech became serious, making people defenseless:

"The fate between Ning'er and Yuanbai is still shallow after all, fortunately, everyone has made it clear, since your second aunt has repelled the matchmaker sent by Yuanbai, let's stop thinking about this matter, at the moment, your second uncle's plan is related to the prosperity of the Su family, although it is a risk, but A-Niang also understands that there is no smooth sailing in the business field, if it can become the marriage between Ning'er and King Qingwang this time, not only Ning'er will have to rely on it in the future, but also bring a lot of blessings to the Su family, so Ning'er really still has to take this matter to heart, Don't make King Qing unhappy again. ”

"Ning'er wrote it down", Suning'er put down the frozen crisp in her hand, and felt a little more sense of mission in her heart.

In fact, as long as the house is harmonious, other things are not important to her now, not to mention that King Naqing saved himself again, if he can marry him, he is willing to marry him at any level, and the Qi family does not have to worry about it anymore.
