Chapter XXXVII

Ming Yi smiled softly at Wu Qianping: "You are four and I are six, there is a discussion." ”

To Mingyi's surprise, Wu Qianping also smiled: "It seems that your temperament has become a lot because of this disease, if it is usual, you will definitely mention you eight and me." ”

Mingyi blinked slyly: "Since Brother Qianping mentioned it, Mingyi is not easy to disobey, just let me eight you two." ”

Wu Qianping smiled and smiled: "Don't laugh, you and I each take a step back, how about Sanqi?" ”

Ming Yi sighed deeply, no longer joking: "Opening a shop in the West Market is my plan for the coming year, there is still half a year, plus my private collection, it is not difficult to raise the cost of the store." The survival of the workshop to this day depends on the ancestral recipe of the Feng family and the craftsmanship of the workers, as well as the painstaking management of my grandfather. Now I am weak with Lianshan, opening a branch shop is not only a waste of energy but also a great risk, if there are only two or three profits, why should I marry others? ”

Wu Qianping was not surprised, and raised his hand to sit back at the table to discuss. Ming Yi frowned, stood on tiptoe and turned his neck, and had to comply.

Wu Qianping twisted the delicate tea cup in his hand, his eyes focused on his fingertips: "You also talked about your grandfather's business, now the line between Shijingfang and Ma Yuanzhen is broken, even if it is not broken, now Beisi is difficult to protect himself, and the saint wants to get rid of it soon." If you want to make things bigger in Chang'an, it will be difficult to move without a backer, I'm afraid you don't even know how to lose your life. ”

Ming Yi was silent, she was a strange intruder here after all, in her time, it was not so complicated to be a small merchant with peace of mind, but she knew that what Wu Qianping said was indeed not intimidating. In just a few days, those who came to find faults, asked for bribes, and took advantage of the situation to bully people have all come to the door.

She considered her words, and didn't dare to be too tough: "What Brother Qianping said is very true, but I have a small profit, and I really can't give you the amount you want." ”

Wu Qianping continued: "On weekdays, if you take care of those cities, the city orders the divisions to join the army and others, let alone give up two or three percent of the profits. If I have a share of this business, you are a member of my Shaoyin Mansion outside, although I can't give you a name on the surface, all parties don't dare to harass you. Can you count this in? ”

Ming Yi knew that he was going to take advantage of other people's speculation about the relationship between the two, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "Wouldn't that stain Shao Yin Qingming?" ”

"I don't want fame, and what you're afraid of is not human words." Wu Qianping was very sure, "Besides, you and I are unmarried and unmarried, so why be afraid?" ”

Ming Yi thought for a while, and it should be that there is a twenty percent benefit on investment, plus the cost that Shaoyin can save her, and there are all kinds of conveniences that can't be put on the table, so he knows in his heart: "Fifty-five points, this is my base, otherwise I'd rather guard the shop, just eat and wear." ”

Wu Qian looked at her mind and put down the teacup in his hand: "I miss you and my friendship, I don't trust others, five five is five five, when you need to start, I have enough money." ”

The business is over, and Ming Yi has the interest of laughing: "Brother Qianping really plans to be so alone to keep safe?" ”

"If there is a prince's daughter's heart, I am afraid that I will not be able to refuse as a brother." Wu Qianping also cooperated with her, and his voice was frivolous, "Or there may be a beauty as smart as Mingyi, and I may not be able to hold it." ”

Mingyi threw a wink: "Brother Qianping said that he laughed, how did Mingyi get into the eyes of adults?" ”

Wu Qian stood up slowly, walked behind her, and touched her hair: "Mingyi can't be presumptuous, it's just that it's easy to get a good face, and it's hard to find someone who puts his heart into his heart, how can I bear to lose such a confidant." ”

Ming Yi felt a tingle behind him, and it was almost difficult to control his heart, but he also sighed deeply that he was clear. Once a woman moves the love between men and women, she will inevitably suffer from gains and losses, and her worldly mind will become dull, and many things will not be able to be done everywhere.

"Brother Qianping's realm is profound, and Mingyi sighs to himself." She spoke sincerely, but there was also a hint of bitterness.

He seemed to be touched and sighed: "If Mingyi has a warm-hearted lover, I'm afraid I won't take being a brother to heart." Every time I think about it, I always feel regretful. Wouldn't it be beautiful if time stood still. ”

The deeper Mingyi's loss becomes, at this age, and if he wants to pretend to be Shaoyin's red face, I am afraid that he will have fewer chances to meet his lover: "If Brother Qianping has a beautiful family at home, he will rarely have the opportunity to get together with Mingyi to taste tea." ”

Wu Qianping clasped Mingyi's shoulders with both hands: "If the store in West City is completed, I will discuss the future plan with Mingyi." Maybe in a few years, you and I will be together every day. ”

It was an attractive promise, she should be ecstatic, but the more she understood what that person was thinking, Ming Yi had long lost her romantic thoughts, and it was even more difficult to believe that he would marry him, a person with a bad reputation as Kefu Kefu, back to the mansion, just hooking her big fish with a fat bait, and it was not easy to show it, pretending to be grateful: "This is also what Ming Yi hopes for in his heart." ”

After all, she herself felt disgusting and didn't want to continue.

"It's time for Mingyi to retire." She got up and straightened her dress.

Wu Qianping proposed: "As usual, let's rest in the mansion." Recently, the curfew has been strict, and I heard that there are flower thieves in the city, and it is not peaceful. ”

Ming Yi hesitated for a moment, it seems that the Ming lady is really used to entering the house, and she is really worried about safety.

Wu Qianping couldn't help but excuse herself, called the old housekeeper and sent her to the guest room. The old man was expressionless, and seemed reluctant to stay with her. In his heart, Shaoyin's identity is much higher than the reputation of this Ming lady, which makes her rebellious and determined to stay.

The guest room is quiet, the room is also very simple, and the bed is naturally not as good as the Xinglu Courtyard, but since she crossed, she has the ability to sleep on the bed, and her mind is still coiled around a bunch of chores in the store, and she falls asleep when she thinks about it.

There was no cold-hearted Shao Yin in the dream, but there was a vague and indistinguishable wide figure, sitting down on the edge of her bed, holding her burned arm, a burst of coolness and warmth.

The rooster crows and wakes up without a trace.

Early in the morning, the old butler was already waiting outside, saying that the carriage was ready. She wanted to ask if she needed to say goodbye to Shao Yin, but the old housekeeper had categorically refused: "Lord Shao Yin has gone to the Yamen, and Ming Niang doesn't need to be polite." ”

She hit a soft nail and couldn't say anything. Walking through the courtyard, I took a look at this Shaoyin Mansion during the day, and there was no decoration in the courtyard, just some trees and green bamboo, which was dull and tasteless.

Back in the East Market Shop, even the mountain is not there, presumably busy training workers and starting to make new products. She closed the shop and went to the second floor to draft the documents with the Zhujun Teaching Workshop, and agreed to hire Xin Wulang and Jia Qilang as the special merchants of the Shijing Workshop, and the salary was paid daily. Although I don't know whether this document had a binding effect in the Tang Dynasty, it is always better than nothing.

After copying in duplicate, she was going to send it to the Zhujun Sect in person, hoping to see the owner himself on this trip, and she was really too curious about the master behind it.
