Chapter 125 is untitled

"Ha Lu Ha, Boss Xie. Long time no see......"

"Boss Chen, how are you doing?"

"After today's banquet, let's go to the treasure gambling house together?"

"The wind has not been going well recently, not to mention today's ......"

"Last time about the goods in Qingzhou, Brother Li helped him and thanked Gao Yi......"

"They belong to each other, and they should help each other......"

In the midst of the lights, the noise and lively sounds, the voices of people gathered on the green Yi upstairs, and there was still some time before this banquet tonight, and the crowd gathered back and forth, and when the carriage came, someone related to the weaving house came down from above. On the second floor, Ning Yi and the people of the Su family have been over for a while, and while being arranged to sit down, they are also dealing with the merchants who come to greet them one by one, who are optimistic about the Su family, who are not optimistic about the Su family, who have a cooperative relationship, and who have no cooperative relationship, in short, they will not ignore the Su family.

However, compared to Ning Yi, Su Zhongkan, and Su Yunfang, the masters of the Su family, tonight may be the most valued by Shopkeeper Liao and others. It's no wonder that they are like this, tonight's situation, others originally guessed that either Su Tan'er would come forward, or I am afraid that Su Yu, the old lady of the Su family, would come over, if these two people came, the Su family's decision-making person about the imperial merchant tonight would naturally be them, who knew that neither of the two grandfathers and grandsons appeared, so some practical people who really cared about the imperial merchant also focused their attention on Liao and others who were now at the helm of the Su family's big house at the practical level.

As for Su Zhong and Su Yunfang, these two people will definitely not be able to interfere in matters related to the imperial merchants. But if the Su family's imperial merchants fail tonight, then the status of these two people will be completely different, so after all, there are still many people speculating about these, plus they can be regarded as tycoon-level figures in Jiangning's weaving industry in the past, and of course they will not be paid less attention at this time. And Ning Yi on the side, although he is now in charge of the Su family's big house, it is just a symbol, symbolizing that the position of the Su family's head of the house has not been vacated by the shopkeeper Liao and others, but if he really wants to decide something, it is naturally impossible.

Therefore, at this time, the people who will greet and chat with the shopkeeper Liao and others are probably some powerful people from all over the family, who care about the imperial merchants, or the shopkeepers who operate for other cloth merchants, will come over to greet for a while, and sometimes some officials of the manufacturing bureau who have been connected before will come over with a smile and hint that there is no problem tonight.

As for Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang's side, they are probably the bigwigs of some merchants, and the characters with similar status to them, such as the heads of some medium-sized cloth merchants, and even the head of the cloth merchants, when Wu Chenghou, the head of the Wu family, arrives, he first greets them and chats about some things in the cloth shop.

As for Ning Yi, he has been greeting all kinds of people, and after everyone confirmed that Su Tan'er would not be there, his attitude towards Ning Yi was also very enthusiastic, of course, the topic of conversation was all over the world, and it had little to do with the matter of Buxing. In any case, after all, he was standing in the center of this stage tonight, and those who were worse than the Su family were often not stunned and did not give Ning Yi face at all. If the family situation is similar, some people will learn not to care about these, the Xue family and the Su family are considered to have arrived early, the Jingwei on both sides are relatively distinct, Xue Sheng only said hello to Su Zhongkan briefly, and ignored Ning Yi, Xue Yan came over and said a lot with a smile, mentioning that he met Li Pin and the like a few days ago, after the city gate was opened again, Li Pin must invite him to the send-off banquet in Beijing.

Xue Yan and Li Pin are not familiar with each other, that is, they have some contact with things like Yancui Building last time. But after Ning Yi began to manage the big house, Xue Yan invited Ning Yi to eat twice, and each time the atmosphere was quite good, as long as Xue Yan wanted to make a gesture, the posture could still be in place, and at this time, he regarded Li Pin as an acquaintance, and after a while, the Wu family came, Wu Chenghou and his two sons came over separately and said something to Ning Yi, Wu Qilong also joked a few words about Ning Yi's late arrival this morning: "I heard the shopkeeper Luo mention this matter today, it seems that although Liheng has always been indifferent, but when it comes to today's incident, after all, he is still a little nervous, Ha Luha." ……”

The relationship between the Xue family and the Su family is tense, and they often mediate and ease up, during this time, the two brothers Wu Qilong and Wu Qihao have met with Ning Yi a lot, at least in terms of attitude, it doesn't hurt to be acquaintances, Ning Yi shook his head and smiled, a little helpless: "I originally wanted to insist on doing these things until the day after the end, but who knew that I would get up late this morning...... Well, you all know that...... It's not going to spread again......", "Hehe. Wu Qilong lowered his voice and suppressed his laughter, "I'm afraid it's already known to everyone......"

"Tsk......" Ning Yi was stunned, then rolled his eyes again, and then Wu Qihao also laughed on the side.

"Brother Ning's affairs are not afraid of being known, and now everyone in Jiang Ning knows that Brother Ning is confused about small things, but big things are not ambiguous, tonight this imperial businessman ...... Cough, to be honest, everyone is an opponent, I won't wish you anything, Ha Lu Ha ......" Wu Qilong smiled open-mindedly, "However, although Brother Ning is powerful here, our Wu family also has a killer weapon, no matter whether it is success or failure, you and I will have to be convinced." ”

The two brothers were open-minded, and the people next to them listened to it, and they also had a good impression, the three of them exchanged a few words, the two brothers turned around and looked at their backs with a smile, and then began to deal with some other "acquaintances".

When the time was nearing the end of the day, everyone took their seats one after another. The space on the second floor of the Green Ripple Building is spacious, and the merchants who are qualified to come this time basically have exclusive seats. The people of the Su family are a big round table, and the rest of the merchants have also assigned a round table to sit down, and there are a few merchants who don't have many people, but they will not arrange a table, because this banquet actually has to decide the ownership of the imperial merchants, and each family has to have its own place.

The Su family, the Xue family, and the Wu family are located at the three ends of the venue, at this time the venue is a little calm, some people are still coming one after another, and the officials of the Weaving Bureau come to greet each other and give some words.

In fact, the bidding list of the emperor is not based on the general fair bidding method to make people compete. This is mainly because of the special xìng of the imperial merchants in previous years. If you open a public bidding and no one comes, it is obviously very faceless, and under the changes over the decades, the tasks of the imperial merchants are actually decided in the form of "tribute", as if you have something good to offer to the royal family, and the royal family will give you some privileges, of course, on the surface, it will not be done.

The cloth that is really sent to the palace will be more profitable, and if this royal family wants it, in fact, there is no time at all, and it is no time to sacrifice it. But at this time of year, the weaving bureau has to arrange and distribute the share of the cloth, if a few merchants who regularly undertake the imperial merchants complain too much, they will often even out some out, such as the Su family, the Wu family, and the Xue family: there are a number of tasks here, you have to help share a point. No one dares not to give face, and if you don't give face, you must wear small shoes, of course, the weaving bureau will not go too far, there will always be some measure.

So most of the patterns recalled by the Weaving Bureau in the past few decades are like this: each family has some good cloth, and they take turns to show off it for everyone to evaluate, and by the way, they also count their own achievements and dedicate them to the royal family. Although secretly it has long been decided on the burden share of each family's annual cloth, it is still very beautiful on the surface, like an appreciation meeting of achievement exchange and good cloth. This year is still the same on the surface, but on the inside it is very different.

In fact, everyone knows this.

Others whispered, paying attention to the situation of the Su, Xue, and Wu families, and the shopkeeper Liao and the others were actually inquiring about the direction of the wind from the caliber of others. When he sat down, he whispered and smiled at Ning Yi: "Look at today's atmosphere, there should be no problem with the imperial businessman, the efforts of the past month and more than a month have not been in vain after all, and most people are optimistic about my Su family......"

He paused, and then sighed: "After all, it was the second young lady's foresight, and she was already working on it a few years ago. Although I was faintly aware of it in the past, I didn't know how this matter was developing, and when the eldest master had an accident, I really thought that the Su family was going to have a big heel...... However, after all, a small means can't compare to the real accumulation, with the fabric in hand, it can be regarded as a real confidence, and this month's affairs can be regarded as the so-called yang conspiracy. ”

Ning Yi pursed his lips slightly, and looked around: "Is it really okay?" ”

"It's not a big problem." Shopkeeper Liao also looked around: "The Lu family recently has a new cloth, which is good, but unfortunately it is not suitable for the royal requirements, it is called smoked tea silk, I have already seen it." The Xue family used to have a signature purple raccoon cloth, which has always been loved by large households, and the asking price is relatively high, but there should be nothing new recently. The Wu family is the first in weaving, and the strength is strong, but their most prominent is the weaver, with Luo Shenzhen in their home, the cloth weaver is always better than others, but in front of my Su family's Jin Xi brocade, the weaver is better, and the significance is probably not great......"

For the time of the Su family's imperial business, Shopkeeper Liao and others did a lot of homework, and at this time they talked eloquently, and then frowned slightly: "However, the real mastermind behind the assassination of the uncle has not yet been found, if this person is really mastered by the Xue family, I am afraid that they will have a ...... behind", Shopkeeper Liao glanced at the Xue family, then shook his head and smiled, comforting Ning Yi: "Maybe xìng is not high, and ...... The personnel are exhausted, and now that this matter has developed to this point, let's watch it with peace of mind......"

Ning Yi nodded, stopped talking, and then turned around and motioned for Chan'er to put the brocade box she was carrying on the table in front of her. After another while, an official came over to talk to Shopkeeper Liao, Shopkeeper Liao laughed, and tilted his head towards Ning Yi: "Lord Dong, they have already come, this time my Su Mansion is the most powerful, Lord Dong wants this banquet to look good, and arrange the finale of my Su family." ”

"The finale was good?"

"In previous years, it was the best cloth finale, and several of them continue to supply royal ...... today"

In the middle of the words, Shopkeeper Liao was actually slightly nervous, and told Ning Yi about it with a smile, and then spread it to several shopkeepers around.

"Finale......" Ning Yi muttered, sat there and thought for a while, shook his head slightly and smiled: "Tonight's matter is decided......" Because his tone was a little like asking a question, the shopkeeper Liao next to him smiled: "I don't know yet, uncle, it's hard to say." ”

At the same moment, in the venue, someone also glanced over to this side, playing with a green jade wrench in his hand, and whispered from the chún: "Tonight's thing...... Settled? The voice was too low, like a whisper, as if he was whispering about the wrench in his hand, and there was an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth.

It will take some time for a formal feast, because it is always necessary to wait until something enough to boast about is enough to boast before it is suitable for eating, drinking, and partying. What almost no one expected was that what really belonged to tonight had completely happened almost half an hour later, the turning point was so abrupt and exaggerated, the reaction of each other was so flamboyant, the darkness hidden behind it was so deep and the various twists and turns mixed in it, when they were revealed layer by layer, so that in the months and years that followed, it became a deep scar that Jiangning's weaving industry and even the business world kept repeating......

Ning Yi will write a third poem, and I don't think anyone can guess which one ^_^ it is
