"Boss Ning, you go to Jiannan Road to find it. There is a mountain range there. There is a group of monkeys in the mountain. They often harass the residents down the mountain. They often form teams to hunt monkeys in the mountains. It is useless to capture the monkeys. If you want to buy it, It will definitely be much cheaper.”
"There's no need to bother. Boss Ning wants monkeys. I happen to know a juggling class who buys a few monkeys from Huaguoshan every year. Boss Ning wants them. I'll ask my friend, the class leader, to bring you some monkeys." .”
I go.
Ning Wuyao heard the words and thought to himself: The rogue monkey is not the kind of rogue monkey I thought, is it?
As for the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain, although no one here has written the story of the Great Sage, it is quite exciting to think about bringing the Monkey King's monkey grandson to test the medicine.
"Boss, is your friend from the juggling class easy to contact?"
"He travels all over the world. The last time I saw him was when he was purchasing goods in Luo City. Boss Ning, are you in a hurry?"
in a hurry.
Ning Wuyan thought that before dawn in the morning, Hua Yi ran from Zhangjiazhuang to Ning's Mansion and stood outside his window for who knows how long. Before he could open the window, he used Qinggong and flew away.
In order to avoid getting up early every day and encountering resentment like an evil sword fairy, he wished he could catch a few monkeys in person and deliver them to Hua Yi, so that Hua Yi could tame them by himself.
But Jinling is too far from Shu, and the transportation is inconvenient. The saying in ancient times that "the road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky" is not an exaggeration, but the difficult conditions that exist in reality. It was the dog days of summer when we were there, and it might be almost winter when we came back.
"Thank you two bosses for telling me, please come in and have a quick meal before leaving."
Faced with Ning Wuyan's invitation, the two knew the information they provided and did not provide any substantial help. However, thinking that this was a good opportunity to get to know Boss Ning, they still shamelessly entered the door.
Finally, only an old acquaintance was left standing outside the door.
Shaobao was dressed in gold and white brocade clothes, and there were two boys beside him who kept fanning themselves against a basin of ice cubes. The cool breeze made Ning Wuyan couldn't help but tremble.
"I say Mr. Yuan, you started taking ice to cool off early in the morning. Aren't you cold?"
"It's not cold. Didn't you see that I was wearing a triple thin shirt?"
Yuan Bao rolled up his sleeves very enthusiastically, revealing three layers of cuffs, and said very comfortably.
"Ever since you lowered the price of ice, I've fallen in love with wearing thick clothes and blowing in the ice breeze. You don't know, it's so refreshing."
As expected of being the sole heir to one of the three wealthy businessmen in Jinling, he knows how to enjoy himself.
This is comparable to being covered with a quilt and blowing on low-temperature air conditioners.
When Ning Wuchang got up in the morning, he practiced the Cloud Breathing Technique for a quarter of an hour. In order to advance to the next level faster, he even followed the technique in his usual breathing.
In order to prevent the cold air from invading his body from the soles of his feet, he stepped back half a step without leaving any trace, and retreated to the room temperature area. Then he asked about the business: "Master Yuan also came to tell me about the monkey?"
"Reveal? No, I'm here to lend you a monkey. I have a grand garden at home. There are many animals in it, including monkeys and leopards. The monkeys originally only had two pairs, but they were fed so well that they gave birth within a few years. There are a lot of them, and I’m worried that I don’t have anywhere to put them.”
Is there such a good thing?
Ning Wuhuang knew that wealthy people had a lot of fun, and if they had fun like this and gave it away, they could get a favor or other gift in return.
With a status like Yuan Bao, there is no need to worry about having no place to settle.
This kind of rhetoric was entirely because he was worried that he would regard giving the monkey as a favor and would not accept it, so he made it sound as if he had done Yuan Bao a lot of help.
Unexpectedly, Yuanbao, who is not good at poetry, is actually an honest man.
"I know Mr. Yuan that you are very worried, but Mr. Yuan, please don't worry first. I want to buy a monkey to test medicine. It may be life-threatening. Are you willing to part with me?"
"Danger to your life? This thing is just a toy. Mr. Ning, if you use it to test the medicine, it must be used for good. It doesn't matter."
As expected of Yuanbao, who had stayed in the village school for many days and had not left. After being influenced by Cheng Yi and others for so many days, his speech became more literary.
But the cunning look in his eyes from time to time showed that these words were simply flattering.
never mind.
Now that the master has agreed to give away the monkey, he no longer has to worry about life or death.
"Master Yuan, please come inside and we'll talk after breakfast."
Since they had reserved monkeys from Yuanbao's house, the other two bosses did not enjoy their breakfast.
Fortunately afterwards.
In order to show his gratitude, Ning Wuyan specially arranged for them to pick up two thousand bottles of perfume directly from the perfume workshop. The two bosses then left with a smile as if they had found gold.
After leaving, don't forget to publicize it to the outside world. Usually outside the perfume shop, you should pay more attention to the notices posted on the wall to see if there is any new content.
This move directly caused the information on the wall of the perfume shop to circulate faster than the official list of the government, making the collection of information more efficient.
After seeing off the two bosses, Yuan Bao asked how many monkeys he wanted.
"I'll send someone to get it from home right now."
Yuan Bao sat down in the hall where guests were received, drinking tea leisurely.
Judging from the demeanor he showed, he probably didn't plan to leave for the time being.
With Yuan Bao's help, Ning Wuchang could sleep more peacefully. Even though he knew Yuan Bao had other things to do, he agreed to it.
"Then I'll bother Mr. Yuan."
"Mr. Ning, why are you so polite to me?"
Yuan Bao called his boy to bring the monkey over and asked Ning Wu to check it.
Don't forget to give a final instruction.
"Remember to ask my parents to deliver it in person."
oh?
How many monkeys have to count money every day for a busy person who has cramps in his hands? Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan personally deliver it?
Since there were elders coming forward, according to etiquette, Ning Wushan could not greet him by himself, and had his eldest aunt and second aunt invited over.
"Fifth Young Master, the eldest lady took the three ladies to the shop to choose clothes and jewelry. Only the second lady is at home."
Before Ning Wuyan could reply, Yuanbao, who was pretending to drink tea next to him, shouted excitedly.
"As long as Mrs. Ning Er is here!"
oh?
Interesting.
Co-author asked Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan to send the monkey in person in order to see the second aunt.
Ning Wuyang waved his hand to the servants to invite the second aunt, his eyes fixed on Yuan Bao, looking up and down.
Yuan Bao first forced himself to drink two cups of tea until his stomach was so full that he could no longer drink it. Then he smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Ning, to be honest, my parents are coming over soon and want to propose marriage."
guessed.
The Yuan family made its fortune through freight transportation. Not only was it in charge of water transportation and the escort bureau, it later extended its tentacles to all aspects of Jinling's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
However, the Ning family's business is an independent business, so the Ning family and the Yuan family have no business contacts for the time being.
In addition, if Mr. Yuan and the others wanted to discuss business, they did not need to tell the second aunt, so the direction he considered was also to get married.
After all, after Jiangnan Road was purged by Su Rui, there were many vacant official positions in the government offices and lower counties.
There have long been rumors that Su Rui will use this to promote all the famous people in Ning Mansion, but since the news has not been confirmed yet, many people are in the wait-and-see stage.
This Yuan family is bold and knows how to strike first.
only.
Ning Wuyang thought about his two cousins of the same age who both liked to recite poems and composed poems. Then he thought about Yuan Bao spending ten taels of silver to buy his poems and borrow them to visit the island. He felt a little worried.
Although Yuan Bao is not talented, he is quite sincere. In addition, the Yuan family did not occupy the position of the richest man in Jinling because of his low profile. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is as rich as half of Daxing. people.
It's just that he may not really be the type for the two cousins.
"Master Yuan, can you tell me which sister of mine you have fallen in love with?"
In this era, when discussing marriage, what matters is the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.
But since he is a member of the Ning family, he has to consider the future happiness of his relatives. Whoever the Yuan family likes, he needs to ask his cousin's opinion in advance.
