When Zhou Jingxian returned to the county lord's mansion full of concern, she saw the housekeeper Jinzhong with a group of slaves, from the side of the wing where Mr. Ning lived, and moved the potted plants that she had specially moved to other places.

"What is this doing?"

She was a little annoyed all of a sudden.

"Mr. Ning's place needs these flowers and plants, and if you move them, it will affect Mr. Ning's mood for daily rest!"

Grandpa Huang didn't take Mr. Ning's conditions seriously, so it was just that.

Why did these servants in her house dare to snub Mr. Ning so much?

It's just too deceitful!

The slaves who were scolded all looked at the steward Jinzhong, who commanded them to do things.

Seeing this, the housekeeper Jinzhong hurriedly trotted in front of Zhou Jingxian, and before he could speak, he touched the eyes of the most favored person today, saw the anger of the county lord, and hurriedly explained the fire: "County lord, it's not that we want to move it on our own initiative, it's Ning Shixian who wants to vacate the garden in that area, saying that he wants to build a shed, and he will put the boiler or something in when he goes back to forge things." ”

Forged objects?

Zhou Jingxian immediately thought of firing glass.

She knew that it was not appropriate to publicize this matter, but she didn't expect that Mr. Ning would choose the location of the firing of glaze in her county lord's mansion, and he would do it so secretively.

Thinking about it this way, if the matter of firing the glaze is really in the hands of the Ning family, I am afraid that the secrecy alone will cause the Ning family to be uneasy.

It seems that the conditions prescribed by the emperor's grandfather are also very reasonable.

Yes!

It's annoying!

Zhou Jingxian felt that the conditions put forward by Mr. Ning were to safeguard his own appropriate interests and should be supported.

can start from the overall situation and safety, it seems that what the emperor's grandfather said is also right.

The most important thing is that the imperial grandfather did not say what the reward was, and she didn't know how to reply to Mr. Ning.

"Why didn't the county lord go to me when he returned home?"

When Zhou Jingxian was struggling, she heard Ning Wuxian's voice, which made her tremble, and the red gold sword in her hand fell to the ground.

"Mr. Ning, Mr. Ning......"

Zhou Jingxian looked towards Ning Wuxian with a weak heart.

Seeing that he was with Ning Sangongzi, holding a small and large flower pot in his hand, thinking that Mr. Ning was injured, he hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the small flower pot in his hand.

"Mr. Ning, you can hand over these rough jobs to your subordinates, so as not to hurt your buttocks again."

"It's okay, this one pot doesn't weigh a few pounds."

"I have to pay attention to a few catties, by the way, I already sent someone to invite Lang Zhong just now, but that Lang Zhong is very famous, I went to Qiao's house for consultation first, and I don't know if I have free time at this time, I will send someone to invite me immediately."

Ning Wuxian saw Zhou Jingxian, who had always done things neatly, and when he saw that he didn't talk about business first, but talked about other things left and right, he had a guess in his heart.

It must be that the old emperor did not agree to the conditions he proposed.

In fact, this was also expected by him.

After all, the model of close cooperation between Ping An Wine and the Royal Ministry of Industry has long been formed.

In the eyes of the old emperor, although today's glass is not as popular as Ping'an wine, it has an annual income of tens of millions.

In his opinion, this number will double with the expansion of the glaze process.

With such a large amount of income, it was actually unrealistic for him to snatch it out of the mouth of the old emperor who had already tasted the sweetness of the Ning family's offer, so at the beginning of the proposal, he didn't think that it would succeed.

Unless the old emperor was confused for a while, but later found out that the income of the glass was greater than he imagined, and the popularity rate was higher, he was afraid that because of the coveting of the income of the Ning family, sooner or later the Ning family would be destroyed.

Don't say anything, being an emperor's wealth is not greedy.

Whoever becomes an emperor has to use money, and no one wants their treasury to be stretched thin when they are going to spend money outside.

Just from Zhou Jingxian's gold book and gold seal, after a generous donation, the old emperor immediately distributed it, it can be seen that the treasury situation of Daxing is not optimistic.

Although Ning Wuxian expected this result, he still deliberately put forward an unrealistic condition, the purpose was to remind the old emperor.

It's like a peace wine offering, just rewarding a few fateful ladies, which doesn't mean much to the Ning family.

If the old emperor didn't move his true character and gave some beneficial benefits, the Ning family might also be confused and do stupid things for a while.

"County Lord, you seem to have something on your mind, but Your Majesty doesn't believe that I can burn glass, and you don't want the Ministry of Industry to seconded five hundred catties of refined iron?"

Ning Wuxian guessed the result, but did not say anything.

None of them.

In the process of playing Tai Chi with the old emperor this time, Zhou Jingxian assumed the role of a buffer.

Plainly.

He is actually taking advantage of Zhou Jingxian's trust in him, and the old emperor is also using Zhou Jingxian's sense of responsibility to the Zhou royal family and the maintenance of the royal family.

It was not his original intention to make it difficult for Zhou Jingxian to be caught in it.

But without this buffer, let him directly negotiate the conditions with the old emperor, just talking about interests and not feelings, somewhat lacking some human touch, and unable to make the old emperor truly empathize with the Ning family's suffering.

As the old saying goes, a crying child has candy to eat.

The Ning family is too pure and kind in Jinling Mansion, if they don't ask for anything, sooner or later they will be criticized.

And bargaining with the old emperor can not only ask for benefits, but also prove that the Ning family is a secular person, and what they seek is only a little benefit, but it will reassure the old emperor.

No way.

Whoever makes him like Miss Shen will definitely get very close to the Shen family in the future.

In the past, in Jinling, the emperor of the mountain was far away, and the old emperor thought that it was young men and women messing around.

Now under the nose of the old emperor, he always has to show his grievances and shortcomings, and the city government has to dissect it in front of the old emperor, so that the old emperor can guess it.

Otherwise, Long Wei is unpredictable, and he may be attacked by Long Wei when he walks on the road one day.

Ning Wuxian stared at Zhou Jingxian with a faint gaze, asking her to make her words clear, so as not to hold back her words in her heart and hold herself out of her own problems.

"I ...... Forget it, I still won't hide it from you, Mr. Ning, Grandpa Huang didn't agree to your conditions. ”

Zhou Jingxian's words came out.

Those in the know were silent.

Especially Qin Shi, his face became a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect His Majesty to refuse, but he didn't expect His Majesty to meet Mr. Ning in person, so he directly refused.

So...... Is this glass still burning now?

Qin Shi was in a state of confusion, and he was very worried that Mr. Ning would not hand over the method of firing the glaze if the conditions were not suitable.

Successfully firing the glaze, in his opinion, Mr. Bining's victory in the competition is more important.

"Alas!"

Ning Wuxian verified his guess and was happy in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be melancholy and ask Zhou Jingxian.

"Your Majesty directly vetoed my conditions, are you angry?"

"No, no!"

Zhou Jingxian was afraid that he would misunderstand that the emperor's grandfather was too stingy, so he refused this condition.

After conveying the words of the emperor's grandfather as they were, he expressed his concern that the Ning family's current status and the high income of the glass would attract the covetousness of others, and he told it all.

In the end, she didn't forget to turn the most important sentence of the imperial grandfather.

"Grandpa Huang said, as long as the Ning family presents the recipe for burning glass, it will definitely give the Ning family better benefits than having a recipe for burning glaze, although Grandpa Huang didn't say what the benefits are, but I believe that Grandpa Huang has made a promise, and please Mr. Ning look at my face and take a step back!"

Zhou Jingxian clenched her fists and bowed, closing her eyes and not daring to look at Ning Wuxian's expression at this time.
