Chapter 336: Cooperation
There was a heavy snowfall last night, and the weather is fine today, but it is extremely cold, especially when the wind blows, and the bones are frozen.
Lan Niang shrunk in the cold, but the blind woman on the side, wearing the big cotton jacket she made in winter, couldn't see the cold. She sighed slightly, how could she be so stupid at that time, she had saved a little money by selling rice cakes, buying fabrics, buying cotton, working all day during the day, and lighting kerosene lamps to make jackets at night. After staying up for half a month, I made two pieces, one for the blind mother-in-law and one for Chen Hou.
Chen Hou also thought it was cotton fabric, not satin, and said that it was a shame to wear it.
And herself, no matter how cold it was, she was reluctant to make herself a padded jacket.
I was probably too stupid before, so stupid that I didn't know the warmth and cold, but then I found out that the winter in Jin'an was so cold that it could freeze people to death.
After waiting for a short time, Chen Hou came out.
He cowered over and called out to his mother.
The blind woman pounced on her son, hugged her son, and then the mother and son cried bitterly. After the two finished crying, Lan Niang took out the book of peace and departure that was prepared by someone to be invited.
Chen Hou glanced at it and looked at Lan Niang in disbelief, "You want to reconcile with me?" ”
Lan Niang nodded, "Yes." ”
Chen Hou laughed, "It's a great blessing that you can marry me, and now you want to reconcile with me?" ”
"Yes."
Chen Hou thought of the incident on Jinshan, and thought that this Lan Niang had probably been harmed by people, and her body was dirty. Thinking like this, he hated it very much.
"Okay, don't regret what you brought up!"
Lan Niang also prepared pen and ink, and Chen Hou took the pen to sign and draw.
"Hou'er!" The blind mother-in-law stopped her son, "You young husband and wife, after all these years, you can't say that you will be reconciled, since you have come out, study hard and wait for three years to take the exam." When you pass the exam, you will be better to Lan Niang, and you won't work hard for her over the years. ”
As she spoke, the blind mother-in-law fumbled and grabbed Lan Niang's hand, "Mother knows that you have been wronged, but the family, you can't care too much, you and Hou'er will live a good life in the future." ”
"If you agree, I will take out this hundred taels and let us leave." Lan Niang said.
The blind woman's mouth crooked, "What should I do, I didn't respond to anything!" ”
Lan Niang snorted coldly and said: "I borrowed this silver, and people are still urging me to pay it back, I think about it, let's sell the house first, pay back part of it, and then the three of us will go to work for others, use labor money to pay off debts, so that it will be paid off in four or five years."
"What to sell a house, absolutely not!" The blind woman shouted.
"Part-time job? I'm going to read too! Chen Hou also shouted.
Lan Niang didn't need to say anything, Chen Hou hurriedly signed and pressed the handprint.
"Since you borrowed the money, you can pay it back yourself!" After speaking, he hurriedly helped the old lady away.
Lan Niang let out a sigh, at this moment she suddenly felt that her shoulders were suddenly light, and her heart was unconsciously flying, she wanted to laugh very much, and she did laugh, laughing happily.
It turned out that after getting rid of the Chen family's mother and son, she could live so easily.
In the backyard of Tianxianglou, Liu Yunxiang looked at Lan Niang who brought in the tea, and was stunned.
"In the future, I will do work here for the little marquis." Lan Niang smiled.
Liu Yunxiang had never seen Lan Niang smile so brightly, and his previous worries were put down, "It's good." ”
Lan Niang first brought tea to Liu Yunxiang, and then sent another cup to Pei Rong.
Pei Rong glanced at it, "How much boiling water did you brew this tea with?" ”
"Huh?" Lan Niang didn't understand.
Pei Rong took a deep breath and explained: "The Book of Tea has clouds: its boiling is like a fish's eyes, with a slight sound, and it is a boil; The edge is like a spring and beads, and it is two boiling; Teng waves, for three boiling. This good Baihao silver needle needs three boiling water to brew before the tea pieces can be stretched and the taste is full. ”
"I washed it with warm water." Lan Niang said.
She thought that good tea needed warm water, otherwise it would blanch the tea and affect the taste.
"That's it, don't touch my good tea in the future."
Lan Niang was slightly embarrassed, "Yes." ”
Liu Yunxiang picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "There is no difference between boiling water and warm water, right?" ”
Pei Rong pushed away the cup of tea in front of him, "Tea tasting is not drinking water, you can't taste anything if you drink a sip." ”
Liu Yunxiang secretly pouted at Lan Niang, there are so many things, she will have to work hard in the future. Lan Niang still smiled, did not affect her good mood at all, and left with the tray.
Liu Yunxiang turned his mind and asked, "Boss Pei, I'm here, and I've drunk tea, just say what you have to say." ”
Pei Rong was silent again, and then said: "I don't know the cooperation that Boss Liu talked about with me before...... Ahem, can you still talk? ”
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Naturally." ”
"Then let's talk."
"Okay."
It turned out that Pei Rong wanted this hundred horses of cloud brocade in order to exchange jade with the merchants of Xiyue, which was rich in jade minerals, but due to perennial wars, the imperial court closed trade with other countries.
Pei Rong walked around Xiyue for a year before he got through a relationship where he could exchange goods to make a deal. The people of the West Yue like Yunjin, but they can't weave it in their own country, so they can only buy it from Darong through special channels, but the price is very high. Therefore, they are willing to take out the best jade to exchange for Yun Jin, and only exchange Yun Jin.
When Liu Yunxiang heard this, he knew that Pei Rong's connections were by no means simple.
Yunjin's business and Nanhong Mansion cannot be separated, and the current predicament encountered by Nanhong Mansion Liu Yunxiang also told Pei Rong truthfully. If you want to get that batch of goods, you must offend Anhong, and there will be trouble in the future.
"Boss Pei, this is the case, you can think about it again." Liu Yunxiang said.
She had no intention of fooling Pei Rong, but she still wanted him to weigh the pros and cons himself.
Pei Rong looked at Liu Yunxiang and said with some confusion: "In such a situation as His Royal Highness the Seventh, you are isolated and helpless in Beijindang, why do you dare to offend a ruthless person like An Hong?" ”
And she is also a woman, who has been in danger several times, but still does not flinch.
Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and said: "Many times, you think that there is another way to go when you take a step back, but you don't know that if you take a step back, others will force you to take a step. ”
Pei Rong thought of these days, in order to cooperate with Anhong, he did retreat again and again, but Anhong had to make inches.
"That's what Boss Liu said." Pei Rong nodded, and then asked, "But aren't you afraid?" ”
"Are you afraid of Anhong?" Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "What he relies on is the power of the Anguo Mansion, but in my opinion, this is also his weakness." ”
Pei Rong pondered these words, and suddenly realized, "It's really ashamed that I don't have Boss Liu's vision as wide as I am down." ”
Liu Yunxiang smiled dryly, he really couldn't say that he had a wide vision, but he just had no choice.
The two discussed, and the cooperation was reached.
Liu Yunxiang went to Jingchuan Garden to see Yan Dusk, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the beggar walking towards the door in a hurry. When he saw her, he urged her to get the money quickly.
"What's wrong?"
"At noon today, a few students from the martial arts hall came over and took the seventh child away without saying anything, so I had to follow behind and watch him get into the gambling house. After a while, he had already lost 10,000 taels, and said that he couldn't get the money, so he would cut off his hands and feet! ”
