Chapter Eighty-Six: Let's Go
"It's okay, if you don't want to go to Liujiazhuang, I'll go for you another day." Ning Weiguo mentioned the Liu family, and his face was not angry.
He always felt that when his nephew withdrew, he gave the Liu family a face, which made the Liu family have no face and no skin to buy perfume, and also used perfume as a gimmick to hold a tea party.
When the time comes, he will definitely scold the Liu family for being bloody!
Ning Wuxuan guessed the second uncle's thoughts.
In fact, he has long been indifferent to what Liu Qingfang does, but this matter is different, and it doesn't hurt to go along the way.
"I'll talk about it when I deliver it, this time I'll stop by and explore the road first." Ning Wuxian got into the carriage and instructed Li Tie and the dynasty, who were driving the car, to take a long detour if they didn't stop by the road.
The dynasty held the reins, and Li Tie held the horsewhip.
With a whip sound, the two carriages headed in the direction of the north of the city, one after the other.
Until the carriage was out of sight, Ning Weiguo snatched the contract book in the one-eyed boy's hand and glanced at it, and muttered angrily: "Twenty bottles of perfume are still going to be sent out of the city, and the Liu family really has nothing to do." ”
"Who said it wasn't, but Gongzi said that ten bottles can be delivered to your door, and the Liu family can only send them." The one-eyed boy put away the contract, for fear that Ning Erye would be angry and tear it up.
Because of this, the Liu family was paid 10,000 taels of silver, which was not worth it.
Ning Weiguo thought to himself: At the beginning, Ye Changlong bought 200 bottles, and let them be sent to Xiaoxiang Pavilion in person, but now 20 bottles still have to take a lot of effort, and it is not as easy as it seems to be in this business.
"Lao Tong, there is hard stubble when the delivery is made, you pick it out first, and I'll deliver it when I turn around."
Ning Weiguo used to be a small official of the government, and he had a little thin face in this Jinling City.
In addition, it is the second master of Ningfu, and ordinary people will definitely not make trouble in front of him.
The one-eyed boy didn't expect that Ning Erye would put down his body to do the work of delivery, which saved the perfume shop a lot of trouble, and said gratefully: "Thank you Second Master, there are only fifteen families who need to be sent in two thousand bottles, and when the time comes, I will personally lead the way for the second master." ”
"Okay."
……
The two carriages left the North City Gate, and after driving north for thirty miles along the official road, they turned to a country road less than a zhang wide.
With nothing to do, Ning Wuxian held the "Daxing Decree" and carefully browsed the articles in it.
When the carriage stepped onto the bumpy path, he put down the book in his hand and lifted the curtain to see the green rice fields and rolling green hills outside.
When he came to an apricot forest, he looked at the yellow and clear apricots outside the window, picked a handful, and threw one to Cheng Yi.
"Brother Ning, your action of picking apricots is really skillful." Cheng Yi didn't clean it, but stuffed it directly into his mouth and took a bite.
Sweet in sour.
"It's even better than the apricots I bought and picked at home?"
In the face of Cheng Yi's exclamation, Ning Wuxian raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying a word.
He was too ripe to go up to the tree and pick fruit.
Living in a high-ranking family, where do you know how ripe the apricots are the best.
Ning Wuxian broke open the apricot, took out a white fat fruit insect from under the kernel and threw it out of the car window, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the countryside outside.
Moments later, the carriage passed through a populous village.
From afar, you can hear the sound of Mr. Teaching reading aloud from the private school in the village.
“…… I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when she is gone! ”
The apricots in Ning Wuxian's mouth chewed even harder.
It is not uncommon for his poems to circulate in the student circle, but when even the private school in the village is reciting his poems, it can show how much gold the title of "Ning Shixian" has.
It has gone from niche to mass.
At this time, Cheng Yi snatched an apricot from his hand, and said in a somewhat sour tone: "Brother Ning, all the poems you wrote have been included in the "Daxing Poetry Thousand Collection", if you make a few more poems, I am afraid that the poem I wrote when I was a child will be squeezed out by your poems." ”
Am I indirectly doing this kind of offending thing?
"That's really good, the poems you squeeze in in the future will definitely be passed down with me through the ages." Ning Wuxian's words made the carriage silent for a moment.
Then, Cheng Yi let out a goose-like laugh.
"Haha...... Brother Ning, you are so interesting, I have seen so many talents, including Mr. Xu, everyone is very humble, only you are different. ”
It perfectly interprets what skills are bold and bold when young.
Ning Wuxian took over the conversation: "Everyone is a different existence, is it possible that when you compete with someone who is not as good as you, Brother Cheng, you humbly say that you accept and concede, and sometimes you don't think in your heart, I am good at winning, and you are too good when you lose?" ”
Cheng Yi pondered carefully, and it was indeed the case.
But when these words came out of Ning Wuxian's mouth, he always felt that he was begging for scolding?
After all, when he landed on the island in the middle of the lake, his poems were ruthlessly crushed by Brother Ning.
"Hahahaha! Brother Ning, I like you so much. ”
Cheng Yike doesn't care whether he cooks or not, he laughs first.
On the carriage following them, Shen Youchu heard Cheng Yi's laughter from time to time, clasped his arms with his hands, and hummed angrily: "Annoying Cheng Yi, if it weren't for him, I would have asked Ju Xiang to break the axle and go to Ning Gongzi's carriage." ”
She really wanted to hear Ning Gongzi tell her jokes.
Mei Xiang wanted to speak and stopped.
"Mei Xiang, you don't seem to have spoken for a long time, aren't you panicking?" Shen Youchu grabbed the apricot washed by Juxiang and threw it into his mouth, chewing tastelessly.
Mei Xiang saw Miss call her name, so she hesitated to speak: "Miss, why don't you wait for Cheng Gongzi to go to Hanshan Temple, knock him unconscious and drag him back to the city?" Then arrange for others to live in the temple, and when there is only one courtyard left, you and Ning Gongzi can talk as long as they want. ”
What a great idea!
But Shen Youchu thought that Jing Xian mentioned that Cheng Yi had specially helped Ning Gongzi keep vigil, and also helped Jing Xian speak in front of Qin Fenglan, she flicked Mei Xiang's forehead.
"Miss Ben is not the one who can do such a ruthless act just to be alone with Ning Gongzi...... This plan is tentatively kept, if he is not interested. ”
Miss's mind is so contradictory, so complicated, and so difficult to guess.
Mei Xiang pursed her mouth, rubbed her head vigorously, and decided that from now on, she would not talk much, and it would be more pleasing to be a mute.
"Miss, there is Liujiazhuang in front." Ju Xiang's words came from outside.
Shen Youchu hurriedly stuffed the remaining apricots into his mouth, opened the curtain and looked out.
I happened to see that Ning Wuxian in front of me was also probing out.
Shen Youchu stared at the figure in front of her stupidly, and in an instant, the outline of everything in heaven and earth became blurred, and only the back of her head could be caught in her eyes.
Ning Wuxiao felt that there was a gaze on him at the back of his head, knowing that it was Shen Youchu, he didn't turn his head, just stretched his neck a little longer, so that he could see farther away.
In the col in front of the left, there is a farm covering an area of about five or six acres, which is considered small among the rich and noble families in Jinling.
Except for the tenants in patches, who were feeding the chickens and ducks, no one else came to decorate the tea party.
Since he didn't ask when Liujiazhuang's tea party would be held, Ning Wuxian just looked at the situation in front of him and thought that this tea party should not have entered the preparation period.
The actual date of the event will be at least half a month later.
Cheng Yi saw that he hadn't retracted his head for a long time, and he also poked his head out, and when he saw the situation in Liujiazhuang, he was a little suspicious: "Anhou held a gathering in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and the existing venue took seven days to clean up and decorate, Liujiazhuang has not made any moves today, can it catch up with the tea party in seven days?" ”
