"It's okay. If you don't want to go to Liujiazhuang, I will go there for you another day." Ning Weiguo looked unhappy when he mentioned the Liu family.
He always felt that his nephew showed favor to the Liu family when he broke off the engagement, which was why the Liu family had the shamelessness to buy perfume and even used the perfume as a gimmick to hold a tea party.
When the time comes, he will definitely scold the Liu family bloody!
Ning Wuyang guessed the second uncle's thoughts.
In fact, he had long been indifferent to what Liu Qingfang was doing, but this matter was different, so it didn't hurt to stop by.
"We'll talk about it when we deliver the goods. This time I'm going to drop by and explore the road first." Ning Wuxu got on the carriage and told Li Tie and Wang Chao who were driving the carriage, if they didn't want to go along the way, they could take a long detour.
Wang Chao held the reins and Li Tie held the whip.
There was a sound of whips, and two carriages drove towards the north of the city, one after the other.
When the carriage was out of sight, Ning Weiguo took the contract from the one-eyed boy's hand, took a look at it, and muttered angrily: "Twenty bottles of perfume have to be sent out of the city. The Liu family is really looking for trouble."
"Who says it's not the case, but the young master said that if ten bottles are filled, it can be delivered to your door. The Liu family can only deliver it if they ask for it." The one-eyed boy put the contract away, fearing that Mr. Ning would tear it up if he got angry.
It's not worth paying the Liu family ten thousand taels of silver for this matter.
Ning Weiguo thought to himself: Ye Changlong bought 200 bottles at least and just sent them to Xiaoxiang Pavilion in person. Now it takes a lot of effort to get 20 bottles. This business is not as easy as it seems.
"Old boy, if there is something wrong during delivery, you pick it out first and I will deliver it later."
After all, Ning Weiguo used to be a minor official in the government office, and he was somewhat unpopular in Jinling City.
In addition, he is the second master of Ning Mansion, so ordinary people will definitely not make trouble in front of him.
The one-eyed boy did not expect that Mr. Ning would put down his body to do the delivery work. This saved the perfume shop a lot of trouble. He said gratefully: "Thank you Mr. Ning. The two thousand bottles need to be delivered to only fifteen households. When the time comes, I will personally drive the second master’s car and lead the way.”
"good."
…
The two carriages left the north city gate and drove north along the official road for thirty miles before turning onto a rural road less than one foot wide.
With nothing to do, Ning Wuhuang held up the "Daxing Law Order" and carefully browsed its provisions.
When the carriage stepped onto the bumpy road, he put down the books in his hands, opened the curtains and saw the green rice fields and rolling green hills outside.
When he came to an apricot forest, he looked at the yellow apricots outside the window, picked a handful, and threw one to Cheng Yi.
"Brother Ning, you are so skillful at picking apricots." Cheng Yi didn't wash it off, just stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite.
There is sweetness in the sourness.
"Are they actually more delicious than the apricots I bought and picked at my house?"
Facing Cheng Yi's exclamation, Ning Wuhuang raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying a word.
He was very experienced in climbing trees to pick fruits.
For those who live in a wealthy family, how do you know how ripe an apricot is when it tastes best?
Ning Wuyan opened the apricot, took out a fat white fruit worm from under the core, and threw it out of the car window, admiring the pastoral scenery outside.
After a while, the carriage passed a village with a large population.
Far away, one can hear the sound of the teacher reading aloud from the private school in the village.
"...I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back again after all the money I have lost!"
Ning Wuyang chewed the apricots in his mouth even more vigorously.
It is not uncommon for his poems to be circulated among students, but when even private schools in the village are reciting his poems, it shows how valuable the title "Ning Shixian" is.
It has moved from the niche to the public.
At this time, Cheng Yi snatched an apricot from his hand and said in a sour tone: "Brother Ning, all the poems you have written have been included in the "Collection of Thousands of Daxing Poems". If you write a few more poems, The poem I wrote when I was a child, which ranks at the bottom, will probably be squeezed out by your poem."
Did I indirectly do such an offending thing?
"That's great. The poems you squeeze in in the future will definitely be passed down through the ages together with mine." Ning Wuyan's words caused a moment of silence in the carriage.
Then Cheng Yi let out a goose-like laugh.
"Haha...Brother Ning, you are so interesting. I have met so many talented people, including Mr. Xu, and they are all very humble. Only you are different."
A perfect interpretation of what it means to be bold when you are a skilled person, but when you are young you are not afraid of being frivolous.
Ning Wuyao continued: "Everyone is unique. Brother Cheng, when you compete with people who are not as good as you, you humbly talk about concessions and concessions, but sometimes you don't think in your heart, I win. I'm great, but you lose because you're too weak?"
Cheng Yi thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
But when these words came out of Ning Wuhuang's mouth, it always felt like he was asking 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 the truth you tell so much."
Cheng Yi didn't care whether he was a good person or not, he smiled first to show respect.
In the carriage following them, Shen Youchu heard Cheng Yi's laughter from time to time, folded his arms, and groaned angrily: "Nasty Cheng Yi, if it weren't for him, I would have let Ju Xiang break the axle, I’m going to take Mr. Ning’s carriage.”
She really wanted to hear Mr. Ning tell her a joke.
Mei Xiang stopped talking.
"Meixiang, it seems that you haven't spoken for a long time. Don't you think you are panicking?" Shen Youchu grabbed the apricots washed by Juxiang and threw them into his mouth, chewing them tastelessly.
When Mei Xiang saw the young lady calling her name, she hesitated and said, "Miss, why don't you wait until the young master goes to Hanshan Temple, knock him unconscious and drag him back to the city? Then arrange for others to live in the temple until there is only one courtyard left. , you and Mr. Ning can talk as long as you want."
What a great idea!
But Shen Youchu thought of Jingxian mentioning that Cheng Yi had helped Mr. Ning watch the night and helped Jingxian speak in front of Qin Fenglan, so she flicked Mei Xiang's forehead.
"This young lady is not someone who can be so ruthless just to be alone with Mr. Ning... This plan will be kept for the time being. If he doesn't find it interesting, we will discuss it later."
The young lady's thoughts are so contradictory, complicated, and difficult to guess.
Mei Xiang pursed her lips, rubbed her forehead vigorously, and decided that she would not talk much from now on, and it would be more palatable to be mute.
"Miss, the Liujiazhuang is ahead." Ju Xiang's words came from outside.
Shen Youchu quickly stuffed the remaining apricots into his mouth, opened the curtains and looked out.
I happened to see Ning Wuxu in front of me, also looking out.
Shen Youchu stared blankly at the figure in front of her. In an instant, the outline of the world and everything became blurred, and only the back of her head could be seen.
Ning Wuyang felt a gaze behind his head staring closely at him. Knowing that it was Shen Youchu, he didn't turn his head away. He just stretched his neck to see further.
There is a farm covering an area of about five or six acres in the mountain col on the left front, which is relatively small among the wealthy families in Jinling.
Except for the tenants in patches who were feeding chickens and ducks, no one else came to decorate the farm to decorate the tea party.
Since he didn't ask when the tea party in Liujiazhuang would be held, Ning Wuhou just looked at the situation in front of him and thought that the tea party had not yet entered the preparation period.
The actual date will be at least half a month later.
Seeing that he hadn't turned back for a long time, Cheng Yi also stuck his head out. Seeing the situation in Liujiazhuang, he was a little suspicious: "Anhou held a gathering of talents in Xiaoxiang Pavilion. It took seven days to clean up and decorate the existing venue. , Liujiazhuang has not taken any action today, can we make it in time for the tea party in seven days?"
