Chapter 255: Cooperation
Su Shi only slept for more than an hour last night, but it didn't affect him to get up early today.
When he ran around the General's Mansion three times, he was still able to walk into the Mansion by himself, and Su Shi was still very satisfied with the results of his exercise in the past month.
But he became more and more dissatisfied with the food in the General's Mansion, and when Lin Mo brought gruel, pickles and steamed buns, Su Shi's eyes were straight.
"The General's Mansion doesn't seem to be short of money right now." Su Shi muttered, "But why is the food in the General's Mansion getting worse and worse?" I'm not saying that you have to have seven or eight dishes per meal, but at least you should change the tricks, why is it that you can't thunder every day. ”
Lin Mo said with a bitter face: "Son, you can eat some first, this is the rule set by Steward Wu." ”
As soon as Lin Mo mentioned Steward Wu, even Su Shi lost his temper.
Even in the face of his father Su Nian, Su Shi may have to contradict a sentence or two, but for Steward Wu, no one from the top and bottom of the general's mansion dares not to accompany him with a smile as long as he sees him.
Steward Wu is loyal, fair, rigorous, and meticulous, so people up and down the general's mansion respect him very much. The more important reason is that when Su Nian, the lord of the General's Mansion, was wearing open trousers, Steward Wu followed and took care of him all the way.
Wu An entered the government at the age of eight, has been in the general's mansion for sixty years, and has spent his life in the general's mansion, so every time Su Shi sees him, he is respectful.
"I also know that the older a person gets, the more he cares about his money, as if silver is going to give birth in a money box." Su Shi couldn't help but be distressed: "The silver actually has to be used to make money." ”
Lin Mo naturally didn't understand, but seeing that Gongzi kept complaining, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Last month, Gongzi took 50,000 taels from the mansion to pay off the debt, and Steward Wu couldn't eat or sleep for a few days, and now he finally saw the money back, so he naturally took the money seriously, for fear that Gongzi would squander it again in a blink of an eye." If the general's mansion can't even get the dowry, won't it become a joke in other people's mouths. ”
Su Shi glared at him: "Won't you tell him that the General's Mansion is not short of money at all now." ”
"For Steward Wu, the money in the cash box is called money, otherwise you will talk nonsense, and he will only think you are talking nonsense."
"But Childe just needs to endure it for a few more months."
Su Shi was stunned: "Why?" ”
Lin Mo smiled innocently: "In a few months, Steward Wu will be sixty-nine years old, and Miss Qin Nan has also entered the door." ”
Su Shi couldn't understand it even more, because he really didn't understand what these two things had to do with his breakfast.
Lin Mo explained with a smile: "Steward Wu said that he was ready to retire at the age of sixty-nine, and at that time, Miss Qin Nan just entered the door and naturally took over the general's mansion. How could Miss Qin Nan be willing to let her son eat these coarse tea and light rice every day? At that time, even if Childe wants to eat the dragon meat in the sky, I'm afraid she will have to find a way to get it for Childe. ”
Su Shi definitely didn't expect that the seemingly honest Lin Mo would actually laugh at him, he drank a thin porridge, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Now the world is really declining, the master is not a master, and a servant is not like a servant." ”
Lin Mo had followed Lin Mo for a long time, and knew that this sentence had no meaning of blame at all, and he laughed again.
Su Shi sullenly picked up the bowl and drank a few sips of gruel, then suddenly looked up and asked, "When are Nangong Yu and Liu Zhi coming?" ”
"For a moment, I guess I'm on my way by now." Immediately, Lin Mo said again: "Don't stay at noon?" I'll tell the kitchen to prepare one or two more dishes. ”
Su Shi put down the bowl and sighed: "Can the food in the General's Mansion entertain guests, even I, the host, feel a little shabby when I see those meals." Besides, these two people are here to take advantage of me, so it stands to reason that they should have invited me. ”
Lin Mo said indignantly: "Since they are here to take advantage of the son, then don't even give them tea." ”
Su Shi couldn't help but shout: "Damn, is the general's mansion getting more and more mixed up, and the guests don't even have to drink tea, is it true that the richer a person is, the more stingy he becomes." ”
Immediately, he looked at Lin Mo suspiciously: "Have you changed sex, what you said this morning is more than you have in three or four days combined." ”
Lin Mo immediately closed his mouth and became silent.
Su Shi hurriedly said, "I didn't mean anything else. Then he couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, it's a very happy thing to have someone to talk and chat with, and it's really boring to eat alone." ”
Then he looked at Lin Mo sincerely: "Thank you." ”
Lin Mo scratched his head a little embarrassed: "There are not many things I can do to help my son." ”
Su Chang sighed: "You don't have to blame yourself, you have helped me a lot, but there are some things that no one can help me, and I can only face them by myself." ”
At that moment, two luxurious carriages came from a distance, and then stopped in front of the general's mansion, and two young men in brocade clothes and jade robes slowly walked down from the carriage, and then looked at each other and smiled.
One of them was dressed in a white robe, with an elegant demeanor and a down-to-earth demeanor. The other person was dressed in green, and his eyebrows were arrogant.
Su Shi was already waiting in front of the door, and when he saw the carriage coming, he had already walked down the stone steps, and he had already come to the two of them at this time.
The young man in white hugged his fists and said, "In Xia Nangong Yu, I have seen Su Gongzi." ”
Immediately, Liu Zhi also gave a salute and said: "In Xia Liuzhi, I have seen Su Gongzi." ”
Su Shi returned the salute one by one, and then smiled and said, "Nangong Gongzi, Liu Gongzi, please inside." ”
The three of them came to the hall, and after taking their seats, someone brought tea and put it on the coffee table, and then quietly retreated.
Su Shi made an inviting gesture: "Brother Nangong, Brother Liu, please use tea." ”
Nangong Yu and Liu Zhen said at the same time: "Thank you Master Su." ”
After the three of them drank together, Nangong Yu was about to speak, when Su Shi smiled and said: "Everyone is a young person, you don't have to learn from those old pedants, so you might as well get straight to the point." ”
Nangong Yu and Liu Zhi were stunned at the same time, they didn't expect Su Shi to speak so neatly, but both of them were used to seeing the world, and after being slightly stunned, Nangong Yu smiled and said: "Su Gongzi is a bold person, then let's talk about it directly." ”
Then he glanced at Liu Zhi and continued: "We came here this time to do business with Su Gongzi. ”
Su Shi was not surprised, but he thought about it and asked, "I wonder if the two of you want to do business with me by themselves?" Or does it represent the Nangong family and the Liufu? ”
"Naturally, we are talking about cooperation with Su Gongzi on behalf of our respective families."
"No problem." Su Shi agreed: "It is also my wish to be able to join hands with the two great families to do business." ”
Nangong Yu and Liu Zhi were stunned again, they definitely didn't expect Su Shi to agree so happily.
Originally, they thought that it would be difficult to negotiate business this time, because no one would take out the meat that had already been eaten in their mouths.
However, who knew that less than a quarter of an hour after entering the door, Su Shi had already agreed to their request for cooperation.
It was precisely because Su Shi agreed too quickly that Liu Zhi was a little unconvinced: "Su Gongzi really agreed to cooperate with us?" ”
Su Shi smiled and said, "How dare I joke with the two brothers, it's naturally true." ”
At this time, Nangong Yu asked slowly: "I don't know how Su Gongzi wants to cooperate?" ”
