Chapter 676: Kissing and leaving
The third stop, Monk Ren.
I know that it won't make much sense, but I still have to go, otherwise, even the last bit of dividend will be taken away by Yinniang.
The Shentu brothers are not so easy to see, in the case that the Chu Niangzi has defected, the chips in her hand are only the fortifications of the Ministry of Industry, and the profits here are divided into three, and it is time-consuming and laborious, of course, it is not as good as the private salt business, and even compared to the current casino in Rongyifang. Therefore, even if she and Xia Huanfeng himself went to see the Shentu brothers, the two of them would not turn to support Mingyi.
In the absence of the ability to confront the other side, it is pointless to rebuke collaborators for apostasy in a hostile manner. She wouldn't be stupid enough to be so presumptuous.
She went to see Monk Ren, this time, in the identity of Feng Mingyi himself, and had nothing to do with the Shangguan gang.
Whether it is Monk Ren or the Shentu brothers, or all the gossip people in Chang'an, they all know that Wu Qianping and her have been in a personal relationship for many years and are entangled. This is now her only value.
She relied on this personal relationship to be a tooth person, and to take some small profits between Monk Ren and Wu Qianping, which was beneficial and harmless to both. Maintaining cooperation with Monk Ren will also allow her to retain this little value in front of Wu Qianping.
Thinking of this, she lost her mind and really wanted to slap herself. When did he become so humble again, for fear that he would lose his use value, he would be kicked away by Wu Qianping? If he is such a man, how can he still be worthy of his own love?
But having said that, how much can a useless woman weigh in front of an ambitious man?
Monk Ren is in the workshop, the errand of the Ministry of Works has been handed over, and the money and silver will all arrive in the account within a few days after Wu Qianping returns, and the next work has not yet begun, and it is also a few days of work. This is a good time to go and negotiate.
Monk Ren was not very surprised by her arrival, but seemed to be prepared. invited her to take a seat, called someone to fetch a silver tael, and put it on the tea table between the two.
"This is a thank you gift for the moat fortifications for Ming Niangzi, please accept it." Monk Ren pushed the silver over.
Ming Yi glanced at it, but there were about fifty taels, and he knew it in his heart: "It seems that this fortification is indeed not small, Mr. Ren is so generous." ”
Monk Ren smiled: "This is the amount that was agreed at the beginning, of course I can't break my promise." In the first business, I don't make money here, but I also have to ensure the harvest of Ming Niangzi and Master Wu. It's just a pity, alas. ”
Mingyi knew that he was sighing that the business after the sale was soaked, and it was inevitable that he would be a little reluctant. No matter how good this private salt business is, it has nothing to do with Monk Ren, as for the gambling business, all she saw in Rongyifang were fresh faces, and she was afraid that she had transferred people from Luoyang, even if she was still under his rule, she would have to take a big share of the pie. And his staffing is all for the preparation of fortifications, not good at casino business, if you can't make the best use of people, it will be a waste.
Ming Yi said with a smile: "Now that I have given way to Chu Boyan, although I am not Shangguan's helper, Wu Shilang doesn't want me to work hard to run the Gleaning Workshop anymore, but I can be a tooth man with peace of mind." ”
Monk Ren was a little surprised: "Oh? I thought that Ming Niangzi had to abdicate, but it turned out to be Zen? ”
Ming Yi sighed: "Woman, after all, there must be a home. I have been cultivating Boyan for a long time, and I have publicly stated that he is the successor, and now that he is mature, he will succeed to the throne earlier, and I will think about having children earlier. ”
Monk Ren still had some doubts, but he didn't continue to investigate, he was interested in others: "Ming Niangzi means that she is willing to continue to connect me and Master Wu?" ”
Ming Yi smiled slightly, divided the silver on the table into two piles, and pushed half of it: "That's nature." This is a welcome gift from me to Mr. Ren for re-cooperation. I asked the squire later that there was a new fortification, and he would have you in touch. ”
Monk Ren laughed and said: "Sure enough, Ming Niangzi is still Ming Niangzi, refreshing and atmospheric!" Well, I am waiting for your good news! ”
Walking out of Monk Ren's workshop, Mingyi's mood eased slightly. She found that it was only in the success of such negotiations, when her plan went well, that there was a special pleasure that could relieve all the troubles.
The high-spirited Ming lady is back a little.
Yes, when she came to this world, she had nothing, only a servant and a mountain of old mansions that burned down half of the walls. Now what she has is a lot of cash in her hand, although it is not rich, but it is also heavy, a sweetheart in an important position, and a heart that has been tempered for thousands of years. What else is there to worry about? Once again, spring goes to autumn, and perhaps the world has changed again.
The fourth stop, Liu Enchao.
It's strange to say that although she looks down on Liu Enchao's cowardice in every way, she always has confidence in him, that is, he is a loyal and righteous person. The rivers and lakes will betray Ming Yi, and so will they be at the beginning, but Liu Enchao will not. He has a simple, straightforward loyalty.
She didn't dare to move, so she found a small restaurant outside the official office to sit in, spent a few copper plates and asked Xiao Er to hand over a letter, and asked Liu Enchao to come out.
Liu Enchao didn't disappoint her, and appeared in front of her after a while, with a surprised face: "Mingyi, you just came back and didn't have a good rest, why did you come to find a brother?" Seeing that you have a bad complexion, is Lord Wu bullying you? ”
Ming Yi didn't expect him to say this, too, he is not from the rivers and lakes, how did he know that such a change would happen to the Shangguan gang this time, and it was not interesting to talk to him about this matter.
"It's okay, the things in my gang are put down, and Chu Boyan takes over. The gleaning workshop was also handed over to Yinniang. In the future, I will probably have time to drink and talk with Brother Enchao. Mingyi laughed at himself.
Liu Enchao scratched his head: "Why is it so sudden?" But you're a woman, you shouldn't be crawling around on the rivers and lakes, if you want to open and plan to rest, it's a good thing. But I don't dare to mix with you all day long, so Master Wu can't skin me. ”
When Ming Yi heard Wu Qianping's name, thinking of the relationship between the two of them that he didn't need to hide in front of Liu Enchao, there were still some small waves in his heart, which was sweet.
"I came to see you, after all, I haven't seen you for more than a month. How are you doing here? "Ming Yi is also true, facing Liu Enchao, he will feel that the whole world is much simpler.
Liu Enchao was in high spirits: "Very good, Master Wu can trust me, what I am doing now is the most important work of the Ministry of Industry." Really, everyone I met treated me with respect, and this feeling was more interesting than any other official position I had. ”
"Where's home?" Ming Yi thought of the Hedong lion in his family.
"She, hehe, now she can't take care of me, and she has a baby. My temper is better, and I listen to me. Liu Enchao laughed stupidly.
When Ming Yi looked at his expression, he knew that he was married and shun, and he was looking forward to the arrival of the child, and suddenly felt that this kind of life might be better. But the thought was only fleeting, and she no longer had such a fate.
"Congratulations, when the child is born, I will prepare a big gift." She smiled and said, "I have to go, you pass a message to Qianping for me, and I'll wait for him in Xinglu Courtyard." ”
Liu Enchao was stunned for a moment, and didn't ask again: "Okay." ”
