Chapter 116 changes color

"After this incident, Tan'er's health is better, we ...... Let's round the house......"

On a rainy night, Su Tan'er choked up and said this, and soon after, Ning Yi nodded.

"Uh...... Ahem, I didn't mean that, but ......," he smiled, "yes." ”

The words were drowned in the rain curtain of the late night, and when the breeze blew in, the candle shadow swayed, and this kind of expression didn't know how much courage it took for Su Tan'er, she lay there, silent for a while. Originally, a large part of her illness was due to psychological factors, and after talking like this, it probably reduced the pressure on her heart a lot. But a moment later, perhaps because she thought of something, she bit her lower lip slightly.

"If so...... If this matter can't be passed, it will be fair...... The Xiang Guild will not ......"

"Could it be anything?"

"Will it be ......" Su Tan'er was a little embarrassed and stopped, and then finally shook her head, "Forget it, don't talk about it." ”

"Disappointed ......" Ning Yi looked at her and thought for a while, then probably guessed some thoughts, and shook his head, "It's not for the sake of whether the Su family is good or not, things can't get by, the matter between us, anyway, that's it...... And this time, it's actually easy to get over. ”

Su Tan'er nodded, her expression relaxed slightly, and after a while, she smiled a little embarrassed at the second half of Ning Yi's sentence: "This time...... ...... who is not clear to the public"

"Clear." Ning Yi looked back, "I probably checked the accounts of the past three years, the foundation of the Su family is still stable, no matter who the opponent is, it is indeed poisonous for them to stab someone and bite back, but it is not on the customer's side that can play a role, the Su family's business is spread all over the country, and there is no real discussion about the character of this boss who is far away in Jiangning before entering the shop." To play a role is nothing more than a closer partner, supplier, the Su family will be shaken in this regard, but relative to this means, it has little significance, with the foundation of the Su family, it is difficult to fall directly because of the involvement of some links, at most lose a small part. To play a practical role, it is mainly in the vicinity of Jiangning, and in the near future, it will be the most affected, that is, the imperial merchants. After the matter is confirmed, the government will not cooperate with the Su family in consideration of reputation......"

"It's the Imperial Merchant......" Su Tan'er muttered and repeated.

"So...... The most important thing is to solve the affairs of the imperial merchants. ”

"Xianggong doesn't understand......" She turned her gaze to the inside of the bed and repeated in a low voice, not letting Ning Yi see her expression. Ning Yi sighed, took out the piece of cloth from her body and put it in her hand: "I don't understand the imperial merchant, or I don't understand this cloth?" ”

Su Tan'er turned around, looked at the cloth in her hand, and then looked at Ning Yi: "Xianggong...... Already know the way? ”

"To be honest, I don't really know." Ning Yi shook his head, "Xing'er is a little embarrassed, it's hard to speak, and I won't be able to talk to her." ”

Su Tan'er took the piece of cloth in her hand and looked at it for a while, occasionally looked to the side, thinking about things, and waited until she looked at Ning Yi again, with a slight smile on her face, but her eyes looked desolate, obviously she often thought of this recently, and she often had this expression of being about to cry, or secretly cried more than once.

"Xianggong, the imperial merchant can't be a ...... I was already thinking about this three years ago, and I secretly prepared for three years, so beautiful colors, I thought I would be able to do things well, but in the end it became like this...... It's like being deceived by someone, we didn't add Zhehuang, and used a new method to make it, cinnabar, madder, alum, gardenia...... This must be a recipe that no one has used before, and more than two months ago, I thought that this time I would definitely scare everyone, but in the end...... At the end of the day, it's ......."

She sniffed and bit her lip, Ning Yi thought for a moment, "When did it start fading?" ”

"It's been almost two months, and I don't know what Lu Dao is for." Su Tan'er shook her head, "After we made it, we also tried a lot of things, sunburning, fire, washing with water over and over again, nothing, it's still so beautiful, there was no problem at all, but in the end, ...... It faded, I don't know what to do, after Daddy fell, I finally couldn't help but come over and say, maybe it can't be solved, I let them continue to try, but I also know that there is no way......"

"This color is difficult to match, the raw materials are less yellow, the formula is slightly wrong, the color is much worse, I don't know where to adjust the road, it is on the formula we didn't intend to find has a bright yellow ......" She paused slightly, there were tears in her eyes, "No way, Xianggong...... I can't get ......",

The weaving industry has developed for so many years, in fact, it has its own methods for judging the modern color fastness, but in the ratio that Su Tan'er found, these methods obviously have problems. Maybe it's some kind of chemistry in subtle proportions that produces that bright yellow color - of course, with his current knowledge of chemistry, he certainly can't solve this problem on a technical level.

Su Tan'er is not a person who is willing to admit defeat easily, but when three years of hard work is judged to be a meaningless thing in the end, the expectations of the imperial merchant are suddenly hopeless, coupled with various things such as fatigue, pressure, wind and cold, etc., it will suddenly fall, and it is no longer such a strange thing. The state of the human jing god is like this, one moment you are at the peak, even if your father falls, as long as you can get the imperial business crisis, you can naturally pass, and the next moment you find that you don't have any chips at hand, and when you are suddenly knocked down at the peak, everything will burst out more violently.

However, at this time, Ning Yi was still looking at the piece of cloth with interest, and he picked it up from Su Tan'er's hand: "Isn't there still an improvement on the loom?" I saw you draw money out on the accounts......"

"It can't change much, it was originally prepared to deal with the imperial merchants, but in these aspects, you have to bet a lot of money into it, and you don't earn much, if you just get the part of the New Year's coin, it will be a burden. On the Weaving Bureau's side, they will only treat people as coolies......"

"That's enough, in the end, it's better to solve the matter of the imperial merchant......"

"But it can't be solved...... Xianggong ......" Su Tan'er said this, and then was stunned, looking at Ning Yi's expression that was not affected by her, "Huh? ”

"It may be difficult to get, but that doesn't mean it can't be solved." Ning Yi smiled, "There is a solution that does not fade, and there is a way to fade, as for how to use it, I have to think about it......"

Su Tan'er thought for a while: "Xianggong...... Do you want to say that the faded ones are good? No......"

After all, she is also a smart person, and she knows that sometimes things can be relied on talking, and can be relied on publicity, Ning Yi also has the reputation of a talented man, and he thought that he wanted to promote the fading color into the characteristics of cloth, which can work in some cases, but putting it here is nothing more than making fun of the royal family. Ning Yi also shook his head: "That's not how it is. I still don't know some things, mainly because the officials of the Weaving Bureau involved in the imperial merchants this time, each family wants to compete for the bargaining chips of the imperial merchants, what have we done, and to what extent have the looms been improved...... If you still have Jing God, you can tell me about it now, and I'll tell you the way later, but ......"

He looked down at the cloth: "The Imperial Merchant is the key to the matter, no matter who our opponent is, whether he shows up or not, we can use this to get them out and catch them all." So in any case, the matter of the imperial merchant is ...... We're still going to fight to the end......"

“…… For what? Because we have the strength"

In the morning, the rain was still falling, and in the courtyard room next door for discussing things, Ning Yi was talking to a group of shopkeepers and stewards. To be honest, this is the first time he has spoken so loudly on a "formal" occasion since he came to the Su family, but it seems that the green robe and scarf are still decent, and it seems that he does have the demeanor of a person who is in danger, at least ...... Looks like a lot of effort.

He tapped it with a fan and looked around left and right.

“…… Solve the affairs of the imperial businessmen, those ugly plans outside, and all kinds of discussions in our family will be calmed down once and for all. As for who are staring at us inside and outside, don't care, others will finish these things, and the old lady will solve these things, and we are doing our own thing, stabilizing the situation, and unscrupulously getting the share of the imperial merchants. ”

"So I'm going to take over this for the next month or so. Of course, I know that I have no experience in this area, I will discuss major matters with Tan'er, and the shopkeepers are also more experienced than me in this area, and I will ask you for advice when the time comes......

Ning Yi humbly hugged his fists, and then laughed.

"However, the matter of the imperial businessman, we are going to start opening up the situation next. I'm a scholar, I haven't been in contact with shopping malls, but there are always some things that are common in this world, and I still understand simple rules, for example, last year's New Year, I also guessed some things, and casually said a word to help the He family's business, hehe...... So, I probably know that one thing is definitely true. "Good things" He knocked the folding fan on the table, word by word, "It must be good things wherever they are placed"

"Just like us who are scholars, talented people will shine wherever they are, and others will always know the Tao, so when you want to sell yourself, you don't have to keep a low profile. Shopkeeper Liao and Shopkeeper Nie have recently taken over the affairs of several adults from the Weaving Bureau, and we have already laid out the carriages and horses, and everyone knows the way, but I think one thing is not enough......

"We just made it clear that we wanted to take the imperial business, and the Xue family and the Wu family both saw it, but we didn't clearly show our bargaining chips. I hope that in the future, whether you are inviting people to dinner or talking about the next step of business, you can clearly tell others that we have been preparing for this time for several years, we will not fight uncertain battles, we already have the best cloth, this is the strength, no one can catch up."

"Now that the situation between Dawu and Daliao is tense, there will definitely be problems and frictions in the New Year's coin, and every time there is such a change, it is the time when the business opportunity arrives, and it used to ...... It's like the Xue family and the Wu family, they treat the affairs of the imperial merchants as fearful, but when they see that the situation is about to change, and when they see that we are going to fight, they want to fight, but it is just a whim, speculation and drilling, what are they prepared for? But we are different, we have been preparing for this for a few years, and now we can tell you about it."

"Just tell them this, how about the Xue family, how about the Wu family, how about us, although we can't fully release the chips for the time being, but we can publicize it like this, let everyone know the way, we are prepared, let several adults in the weaving bureau know the way, we are the best, the most properly prepared, we already have a way to improve the loom, the efficiency can be increased a lot, to ensure that it does not affect our business, nor does it affect the imperial business. We have the best cloth...... Oh, and the next thing is something that needs to be kept secret by everyone, but I think I can already take it out for everyone to see, Juan'er, bring the box. ”

Xiao Juan'er, who was standing on the side, nodded, turned around and moved a box and put it on the table, Ning Yi reached out and pressed the box: "Repeat, what you see next, please keep it secret...... Of course, everyone is my own Su family, and I know these things better than me, heh, I said it redundantly......"

After saying that, he smiled and slowly opened the rectangular box, and a bright yellow silk appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and when several of them frowned and exclaimed, Ning Yi pushed it forward magnificently, and then picked up a knife and cut it a little awkwardly.

The rain was still falling, the door had been closed, and Ning Yi's voice came out from inside one after another.

"Refractory ...... Washable ...... Resistant to the sun...... Doesn't fade...... The finished product was only made two months ago...... I wanted to keep a low profile, but in this situation, I don't think I have anything to do...... Do it and solve all the problems...... Who has such a good cloth? This color ...... Why should everyone panic, with this color, who is the imperial merchant who is not ours...... Although I am a scholar, I also know that this time I will definitely do it, not that we ask those adults, but those adults who want to come and beg us...... Oh, don't say it, but anyway...... We have benefits, they will have benefits, and their benefits are greater than ours, something obvious...... Alright, I'll do this with you for the next month......"

The rain was still falling, and in the bedroom, Su Tan'er looked at the rain curtain and looked in the direction of the courtyard room next door, and seemed to be able to hear some movement, but naturally there was only the sound of rain. Xiaochan entered the room and chatted with her by the bedside, and after a while, she said: "Xianggong now, I don't know what Lu Dao is like......

"Sister Xing'er came over just now and said that my uncle was talking, very powerful, those shopkeepers, but they were all impressed by what my uncle said. Well, my uncle has a point......

"Well, yes......" Su Tan'er laughed, fantasizing about what those "very reasonable" words should look like. Soon after, the discussion was over, and the sound of the shopkeepers leaving came here in small pieces, of course, only the sound of footsteps and the sound of walking as she left, and if she could get out at this time, she could probably hear some of the shopkeepers' whispers in the rain.

"It's really a scholar's opinion......"

"Some still make sense......"

"It's that simple."

"But...... That cloth is really ......", "No way, the eldest master and the second sister have fallen, and some things can only be done by the uncle, as long as he is watching from the side, don't tell the fingers, there will be no big deals......"

"Uncle is a smart person, and he still understands some things......"

"But after all, I'm just a scholar, and things in the mall are too complicated......"

Such a discussion gradually disappeared in the rain, Ning Yi returned to the Xiao upstairs, clapped his hands, and watched the figures of these people leaving from the rain curtain by the window, and then, turned around and went downstairs to visit the sick Su Tan'er.

Another day, when Su Tan'er's high fever gradually subsided, Ning Yi also began to take her place, drove a carriage out of the house every day, and learned from Su Tan'er's previous daily appearance, with a diligent and studious attitude, and began to "point fingers" at the Su family's business......
