Chapter 722 - Clichés
Ning Pengpeng listened to Ning Laosi's description, and the more she listened, the tighter her brows wrinkled.
At the same time, the heart was pounding rapidly.
"You're going to go to John to-morrow and ask about the boats at the docks in Westin Bay.
If you can, it's best to get the blueprints for those black bumps.
Remember, don't let John notice anything.
No matter how much it costs, find a way to get this done! ”
"Mother, is that thing important?"
Hearing Ning Pengpeng's serious and anxious appearance, Ning Laosi suddenly twisted his eyebrows and asked seriously.
Ning Pengpeng nodded, and then replied.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's probably something like a firewood storehouse.
You've also seen the power of the firewood warehouse, and you should be able to imagine how powerful this thing will be if it is so many times larger than the firewood warehouse?
Moreover, they were installed on ships, which must have been used at sea.
Although it will take several months to arrive here from Dajin, I am not afraid of 10,000, but I am afraid of what happens.
If they bring such a warship, after arriving in the Great Jin, what should the Great Jin do? ”
Ning Laosi followed what his mother said, and after thinking about it for a while, he gasped.
He still remembers the appearance of the man who was killed by John very clearly!
In addition, on Hulu Island, when improving the fire wood warehouse, he saw the scene.
Ning Laosi can guarantee that if that black bump is really used, those ordinary people in Dajin are afraid that their flesh and blood will fly!
"Mother, why don't you go to John now!"
Ning Laosi couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said to Ning Pengpeng.
Ning Pengpeng shook his head and stopped Ning Laosi from impulsively.
"As I said, go to John about this, and don't let him notice anything wrong.
You just have to find someone who can really call the shots through him. ”
Although John's cooperation with the Ning family is quite pleasant, after all, he is from here.
No one knows who John would choose if he really had to choose.
Ning Pengpeng knows that people's hearts can't try.
Seeing that his mother was so resolute, Ning Laosi nodded and agreed.
However, I was already thinking about what I should say when I went to John tomorrow.
"You go to John tomorrow, bring him back by the way, and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together."
Ning Pengpeng thought about it and gave Ning Laosi an idea.
Men, after eating and drinking, squinting a little wine is the easiest to speak.
Ning Laosi listened to it and silently praised his mother.
As for these pearls, after Ning Pengpeng thought about it, he only asked Ning Laosi to put some in a beautiful box.
Then among the aristocratic ladies who had given the deposit before, they chose a few who could not be offended, and prepared to wait for the New Year's Eve to inform them that the pearls they had ordered had arrived.
As for the others, let them go for now.
If you don't want to wait, you can return the deposit to them first.
The next day, Ning Laosi went to find John, and John immediately agreed to come to Ning's house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
"Misin, we don't have that on our side.
However, all along, on the first day of each year, His Majesty the King holds a ball in the palace.
It just so happens that I have an invitation, and if you wish, you can come with me to the palace to participate. ”
In the Ning family's manor, after dinner, John raised the red wine glass in his hand and said after clinking glasses with Ning Laosi.
The first day of the year?
Isn't that tomorrow?
Ning Laosi and Ning Pengpeng secretly glanced at each other, and then Ning Pengpeng shook his head and said with a smile.
"I'm at my age, so I'm not going to the prom, you can play by yourself!"
"Misning, Lord Viscount has said so, you can go with me!"
Hearing Ning Pengpeng's words, John nodded, and then persuaded Ning Laosi.
"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."
Ning Laosi nodded reluctantly and agreed, touched the red wine glass in his hand to the red wine glass in John's hand, and then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
John was very happy when he saw that Ning Lao Si agreed.
Immediately raised his hand and poured some red wine into Ning Laosi's empty wine glass.
Ning Pengpeng didn't persuade either, just took the others to say goodbye and left, leaving only John and Ning Laosi to sit in the side hall next to them, watching the fire in the fireplace burn vigorously, and you kept pouring wine and drinking for each other.
By the time he had almost drunk the wine, John's cheeks were already crimson.
The tongues that spoke were a lot bigger, and what could be said and couldn't be said were all said to Ning Laosi's bald mouth.
There are some things that Ning Laosi already knows, but he doesn't feel any surprises.
However, when John said the back, Ning Laosi's eyes were almost bigger than the copper bell.
It wasn't until John mentioned that one that Ning Laosi's eyebrows jumped suddenly.
He knew that John was really drunk.
Otherwise, John, who was sober, probably would not have mentioned that one even if he had been killed.
Ning Laosi knew that if he wanted to find out John's tone, now was the best time.
Sure enough, Ning Laosi tentatively pulled in the direction of the black pimple.
John was all about what he knew.
After hearing the news he wanted, Ning Laosi helped John to the guest room to rest.
It wasn't until the next day, almost noon, that John woke up.
He pressed his aching forehead, trying to sober himself up.
John would never have drunk so much with someone else.
No one else knows his little secret, but John himself knows.
As soon as he gets drunk, he will be broken.
I don't know what I said to Misinn last night?
However, thinking back to what the two of them talked about before they got drunk, it was all about business, so I don't think they should have said anything that shouldn't be said.
Sure enough, wait until John finishes washing up and goes downstairs.
Ning Laosi smiled and beckoned him to sit down for dinner, saying that he had just woken up.
Yesterday, the two of them didn't know when they were drunk, but they were still helped by the people to help them go back to their respective rooms.
Seeing this, John became more and more sure that he must not have said anything yesterday.
When he sat down to eat, the conversation with Ning Laosi was also much easier.
"What about His Highness the Viscount?"
After eating, John looked around, didn't see Ning Pengpeng and the others, and immediately asked curiously.
Ning Laosi heard John's question, laughed, pointed to the recreation room behind, and then said to John.
"They went there early in the morning to play cards!"
Because she wanted to find out the news from John's mouth, Ning Pengpeng didn't invite Anna to come over for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner last night.
Anna, who had to wait for dawn at home, arrived at the manor early in the morning, pulled Ning Peng and them together, and started playing mahjong!
This mahjong she also taught the noble ladies and ladies she knew, but unfortunately, there are no cards in hand, just rely on the mouth to say, it is really a little unacceptable.
Therefore, Anna could only go back to the manor and pull Ning Peng and their cards to play cards together.
Ask for a monthly pass, what's the deal!
