"Don't follow me. Don't make trouble …"
In the alley, Ning Yi shook his head helplessly at the sudden situation. However, he couldn't just shake his head to dismiss the two kids in front of him.
"Why?" This time, it was Zhou Pei who spoke.
"It's a trade secret. Can you talk about it? You'll know in the future. It's not like what you think. "
"Then … then what does Teacher want to do? How can we convince He Fang? "
"Don't you see that he doesn't want to see me? Why can't I convince him? "
"Then … we can think of a way to let Teacher see He Fang …"
Ning Yi squinted at the kid in front of him. Zhou Junwu also looked over with a smile. After a while, he was slightly confused. "Uh, can't I?"
Ning Yi laughed. "You're a little prince and a little princess. It's quite boring. Why do you care about these things?"
"No, no. We're little princes and princesses, but in fact, we're just prodigals and playboys. We're very useless." Zhou Junwu explained and turned to look at his sister. Then, he turned back and blinked. He felt that he was belittling himself, so he corrected himself. "Uh, it's not that we're useless. It's just that, it's just that … Father doesn't care about things, and we have nothing to do in the future. My sister and I don't want this. We want to do something big, so we want to learn how to threaten people … uh, no, negotiate, negotiate … "
"But I don't intend to threaten people."
"Ah? Then how can Teacher get the imperial merchant? "
"This is complicated …"
Thinking about it, one adult and two children negotiated with each other. After a while, they seemed to have reached an agreement. Ning Yi left the alley and nodded to a guard of the prince's mansion whom he had met before. Then, the two siblings also walked out, got on a carriage, and followed from afar. After turning the corner of the street, in a nearby teahouse, Xue Jin and the others, who were sitting by the window on the second floor, saw Ning Yi's figure and began to chat and laugh.
What Ning Yi did was not the point. It was just that he visited He Fang as the steward of the first branch of the Su family these days. He seemed to have the attitude of not giving up until he achieved his goal, which finally attracted some attention. When a fool does a foolish thing, there are still cases of success if they are driven by impulse. Today, Xue Yan had something to do, so he didn't come over. Xue Jin and the others were chatting and laughing in the teahouse, guessing whether Ning Yi could go in and meet He Fang today, or whether he could really do something after meeting him.
Who knew that the development on the third day would exceed everyone's expectations? In a certain sense, it was within his expectations …
*****
"Ha, you said he … gave up? He left in an hour? "
At night, in the Yancui House, Xue Yan, Xue Jin and the others were talking about the interesting things that happened in the afternoon. Xue Jin shook his head with a smile, "Originally, I made a bet with A Xiang that today was the third day. Maybe He Fang had decided to meet him. So I bet that he could meet Official He but couldn't do anything. As a result, I lost five taels of silver … No one expected that he only stayed for an hour and then left. He didn't say that he would come again tomorrow. He just gave up like that …"
A cousin beside him also said with a smile, "The most interesting thing is that we inquired about it later. Official He already knew that Ning Yi came to visit him. Although he thought that as a son-in-law, he didn't have the right to speak, he came here for several days in a row, which showed his sincerity. So this morning, he informed the gatekeeper that if he still didn't give up after an hour like yesterday, he would let the gatekeeper take him in and listen to what he would say. Who knows … Haha … "
"A scholar will always be a scholar." Xue Yan shook his head, "If you want to do something, you are always ambitious at first. In fact, you don't know anything and have a lot of ideas. This kind of person is the most troublesome. I guess that Su Tan'er is also troubled at home now. Ah Dou, who couldn't be helped, was talented and learned. It was fine if he stayed at home and wrote poems and enjoyed the scenery. Just like those poets who worry about the country and the people and lament that their talents are not recognized. But if you really ask them to serve the country and the people, it's not that they don't have the heart, but they don't have the ability. Ha, mediocre is mediocre, an armchair strategist … "
After a slight pause, Xue Yan smiled again, "But it's good for us that the Su family has such a mediocre talent. In the future, we should get closer to this Ning Liheng. By the way, Ah Jin, if there's a chance, invite him for me. We are all in the weaving industry. Business is business, but friendship is still important. Last time, we had a fight because of personal feelings. Ah Xia and I are also at fault. When we have a meal together, I will personally apologize to him, hahaha … "
While Xue Jin, Xue Yan and others were discussing this afternoon's incident, Su Tan'er didn't have a headache because of it. The other two branches of the Su family had a bigger reaction to this incident. It was said that Su Zhongkan slammed the table and almost smashed something tonight.
"Nonsense! He is just a scholar who doesn't know anything. If he keeps going, he will leave an honest impression on that Official He! What does this mean? What will Official He think of the Su family in the future? He's … he's simply dragging everyone down! "
This came out from the second branch of the Su family, and people in the mansion were talking about it the whole night. Of course, neither the second branch nor the third branch showed such an attitude. They didn't protest to the old grandpa or chat with Su Tan'er. Because the biggest thing at the moment was that Su Tan'er really wanted to get the imperial merchant, which might be a threat to the second branch and the third branch.
At the same night, even Nie Yunzhu and Yuan Jin'er who heard about this incident were a little confused. This afternoon, Ning Yi brought a pair of brother and sister to have dinner, and it seemed that he was not affected at all. Maybe at that time, Ning Yi didn't know that Official He was ready to meet him.
"Alas, Sister Yunzhu, I guess he must be very unhappy tonight."
"I … don't think so, Liheng is an open-minded person …"
"No matter how open-minded he is, he will still be unhappy. Plus … it's only an hour later, it's really a pity. Why didn't he persist …"
"Maybe … he felt that Official He really didn't want to see him, or maybe that pair of brother and sister were waiting outside, and he was in a hurry to go out …"
"Who are those brother and sister? Could it be a child he had outside? "
"Nonsense, Liheng is only in his early twenties, how could he have such old children …"
"Maybe he had a child bride before marrying into the family …"
Although they said it out of goodwill, their thoughts weren't that far off. In the current Jiangning city, the only one who had a different guess was in the Prince Consort's Mansion.
"Did he do it on purpose?" In the pavilion, Kang Xian was slightly stunned as he listened to the brother and sister's narration. The brother and sister had gone home to eat and take a shower before coming over. Earlier that evening, Kang Xian had already heard that Ning Yi had lost the chance to meet with He Fang because he couldn't last the last hour of the third day.
"Yeah." Zhou Pei nodded. The little girl was wearing a refreshing autumn dress, and her face was flushed with excitement. She seemed to have participated in something big. When she came over that night, she had already guessed with her brother many times in the car. "Grandpa Consort, why did Ning Liheng do this?"
"Heh, I don't get it either." Kang Xian thought for a while, then shook his head in confusion. "He didn't tell you?"
"Yeah, he didn't want to tell you. Jun Wu said that he could help him meet with He Fang, but he immediately refused. This guy … he had no intention of meeting He Fang from the beginning. I don't understand how he knew that He Fang would meet him today, so he left an hour earlier. "
"He doesn't know, but today is the third day …" Kang Xian sighed. "Liheng … he probably calculated the number three correctly. An ordinary person would usually last for three days. After all, He Fang doesn't really want to meet just anyone. He just doesn't talk about the business with anyone. If he really wants to meet someone, it's fine. After all, the Su family is a big weaver. If you don't meet him on the first day, you'll have to pretend that you're moved by his sincerity to wait for three days or three days later. He purposely gave up halfway, so he chose to meet on the third day, and then an hour later. Heh, this guy … "
Kang Xian shook his head and laughed, but his eyes were still filled with doubt. "But why did he do that? If he left such an impression on He Fang, how could he solve the business? Xiao Pei, Jun Wu, what else did you say to him? "
"We made a deal." Jun Wu chuckled.
"An exchange?"
"Yeah, he didn't allow us to go in or help him, so we thought it was strange. We asked him if he could solve the crisis of the Su family, because grandpa said he was very powerful. He was probably afraid that we would cause trouble, so he finally said that he was solving it, but there was still a long time to go, so he couldn't tell us what he was doing. So we made an exchange. We won't cause trouble, but we'll follow him often in the next month to see what he's doing in the Su family. Later, he agreed, as long as my sister and I don't cause any trouble. We plan to disguise ourselves as the clerks of the cloth shop, or even the errand boys. I'll be errand boy A, and my sister will be errand boy B. Aiya … Alright, sister, you can be errand boy A … "
Little Jun Wu talked nonstop with an innocent face, but then his sister hit him on the head, so he quickly changed his words. Kang Xian narrowed his eyes. "You two little brats, you've been studying in the mansion all day because I haven't let you go out recently, right?"
"Of course not, we just want to see how powerful the teacher that you've been praising so much is …"
The little boy's face was filled with sincerity as he tugged at his sister's clothes. Zhou Pei also hurriedly nodded. "That's right, Grandpa Prince Consort. If I knew that he was very powerful, I would be willing to take him as my master. You also said that the Su family is in trouble this time. If he can solve it without asking for help, Junwu and I will admit that he is very powerful … Well, we promise not to cause trouble or run around. "
"Yes, yes, yes …" The little boy played the role of a chicken pecking rice.
Kang Xian narrowed his eyes and looked at them for a long time before he snappily laughed, "Alright, everyone has their own specialties. If he can't solve it, then that's normal. But if he can really solve it, then you guys might as well take a look at what happened in between. Since he agreed to help, I don't think he will lead you astray. But remember, after you go out, you must not leave the sight of Guard Mu and the others. I will also send people to keep an eye on you. As long as you appear once, you are not allowed to go out before the city gate is opened. Remember? "
"Yes." The two heads nodded hard, then they looked at each other and smiled. They were finally free.
*****
After all, the Su family was one of the three giants in the weaving industry in Jiangning. Subsequently, the things that Ning Yi had done in the first few days began to spread throughout the weaving industry in Jiangning within a day and a night. In the afternoon of the next day, Ning Yi went to Takeshi and met up with Nie Yunzhu. Then, they went in the direction of Qin's Mansion. This was to fulfill the promise to apologize to Elder Qin.
A few days ago, Yunzhu was actually looking forward to this matter. Ning Yi took her to the old man's house to apologize, which seemed to have some kind of symbolic meaning. However, today, she did not feel much excitement or excitement. Because of the conversation with Jin'er last night, she had a lot of other emotions in her heart. At this time, at this time, she occasionally looked at Ning Yi, who was walking forward, and thought about comforting or comforting words.
But in the end, she did not say these words …
