Chapter 112 Joint Development

In the restaurant, Butler Li knew that Ren Ning and the others might have something to discuss.After letting the servant serve the meal, he retreated tactfully.

"Young Master Ren, the servants are waiting outside the gate. If you need anything, you can order them at will."

"I'm sorry for the housekeeper." Ren Ning nodded.

"Uncle Xiao, come and sit down!" Xiao Gang greeted Xiao Yongrui, "How is the family going?"

In the past few months, he has been eating the same pot of food and lying in the same pit with thousands of soldiers from the Fifth Battalion; he has climbed the same road, blown the same gust of wind, completely put down his airs, and worked hard to be a good soldier. He forgot that he was still the second son of Bofu.

Xiao Gang doesn't remember, Xiao Yongrui naturally remembers.

He quickly waved his hand and refused, "Second Young Master, this subordinate has already had dinner, you three should eat carefully."

"Everything is fine in the Uncle's residence. Uncle has been practicing martial arts diligently recently, and even won a compliment from His Majesty once. Madam also comes out and walks around from time to time. My son..."

cough!
Xiao Yongrui coughed, "Your Majesty is just like that. He is not in good health and stays in his room all day long. It's just that the Yongchang Marquis knew about the rubber and deliberately intervened. But..."

Xiao Gang's elder brother is also the eldest son of Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, and his mother is from Yongchang Hou's mansion.

"But what?" Xiao Gang asked.

Xiao Yongrui glanced at Ren Ning strangely: "One time, Marquis Yongchang came to the door, but he was directly sent away by Captain Ren's wife."

The three couldn't help wiping away their sweat.

Although the dignified Marquis Yongchang had never been on the battlefield, he was also a military commander, and he was also Xiao Zheng's brother-in-law.A high-ranking man in his forties didn't know how the 17-year-old Yingpan drove him away.

"Well coaxed. As expected of a girl from the prairie, she is bold and fierce and not afraid of the powerful. If those ladies in the imperial capital only know how to spend money before and after the moon, they would probably have turned away from it when they heard it was business. How could they have the courage? Dare to blow away the majestic Lord Hou."

Xiao Gang clapped his hands haha, making no secret of his distaste for the Yongchang Hou Mansion,

Zhongyongbo's Mansion has been in decline for these years.Although the Marquis of Yongchang is in-laws, they have never looked down upon them.If it weren't for the agreement made by the ancestors of the two families in the early years, they had to pinch their noses and marry a prostitute daughter to Xiao Zheng.

As a result, his daughter died in childbirth, and the Yongchang Hou Mansion has always blamed Xiao Zheng for not taking good care of his wife.In recent years, Xiao Gang, the second son, has been disliked horizontally and vertically.I'm afraid that he will take away his grandson's position as the eldest son.

"How is Yingpan now?" Ren Ning was concerned about his little wife.

Xiao Yongrui was a little embarrassed.

"Back to the capital, Xiao has never met Mrs. Zun. But I heard that Miss Li from the Guerrilla General's Mansion hit it off with her immediately after she came to the Imperial Capital. Miss Li is also living in the mansion now."

"That's right." Speaking of this, Xiao Yongrui stood up, "Second Young Master, Captain Ren, before going south, the two wives wrote family letters for the subordinates to bring over. Now put them in the bedroom, waiting for me to go back and get them."

"Go." Xiao Gang waved his hand.

Lei Er was so depressed that he frantically stuffed food into his mouth, "The world is not fair, you both have someone to worry about, and I am alone. Lao Ren remember to ask Yingpan to help me find a partner."

"Who can blame this?" Ren Ning laughed, "You made it all yourself."

When I sent Ling back home to Xingluo County, Lei Er ran out within half a day after returning home, and there were also girls from the fortress who showed their affections frequently, but he just pretended not to know.

After a while, Xiao Yongrui brought two thick letters from home.

Xiao Gang didn't care about eating, cheered and took it and took it apart to watch.

Ren Ning did not move, and continued to eat slowly.

"What happened to the Marquis of Yongchang?" he asked.

Xiao Yongrui hesitated for a moment, "Back to the captain, because they are all female relatives, Xiao really doesn't know the specific process."

"I only know that Mrs. Yongchang Hou brought her eldest daughter to visit my wife later. I want my wife to persuade my uncle. They also wanted to visit your mansion, but Mrs. Zun was visiting Princess Yiguang at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. I had to go back empty-handed."

Xiao Gang read the family letter in his hand at a glance, and snorted coldly.

"My mother has always been soft-hearted. Fortunately, she doesn't care about things, otherwise Mrs. Yongchanghou will come a few more times, and sooner or later she will persuade my father to let them intervene."

"Yingpan is still the best. No matter how high the Marquis of Yongchang is, he can't be bothered to find trouble with a female family member. As for Mrs. Hou, who is also a female family member, Yingpan probably can't do anything about it."

"Right, Brother Ren?"

Ren Ning ate slowly, nodded casually, but his mind was on the government of Zhen Guo.

The Duke's Mansion is high above, even though it is in the same alley as his house, Ren Ning never brought Yingpan to visit.

When did she actually get in?

And from what Xiao Yongrui said, it seems that Yingpan is still a frequent visitor to Zhen Guogong's mansion.

But that's a good thing.

Xiao Yongrui continued, "Three months ago, Miss Li brought those rubber products to the imperial capital..."

Even with Xiao Gang's family letter, Li Hezhu knew that most likely he would not be able to enter Uncle Zhongyong's mansion.

She went to visit Yingpan first.

The two were about the same age, and with Ren Ning's letter, Li Hezhu easily entered his house.

Seeing Yingpan is almost equivalent to meeting Xiao Gang's mother, Mrs. Uncle Zhongyong, followed by Uncle Zhongyong Xiaozheng.

Thanks to Gu Shengnan of the Gu family caravan, Xiao Zheng, who was poor and frightened, never cared whether it was a man or a woman who came to discuss business.

After reading the letter from his second son, he gave it a try with half-belief. He was shocked and immediately tried to sell it among his relatives and friends.

Good things are not afraid of no one knowing the goods.

The wheels, in particular, almost all Tall Gates raved about the rubberized wheels.In Xiao Zheng's words, sell as much as you have, and you are rushing to get it.

As for other raincoats, shoes and various gadgets, they are not very easy to sell in high-end households.

But it shines in the east and west cities.

Especially for shoes, Li Hezhu had someone improve the molds before going north, and the shoes made were no more ugly than cloth shoes, and they were as durable as animal leather shoes.After stuffing the inside, it is as warm as cloth shoes, but the price is much cheaper.

It is very popular among ordinary people.

So just like that, under the connection of Yingpan, Uncle Zhongyong's House, Ren Ning's House, Li Hezhu's Guerrilla General's House, and Zhen Guo Gong's House unanimously decided to jointly open this product.

The Marquis of Yongchang tried their best to get in and intervene, but because of Yingpan's objection, Xiao Zheng was vague, and in the end he was excluded.

"Good exclusion." Xiao Gang laughed again.

After listening to Ren Ning's words, he no longer cared about that so-called elder brother, and he naturally felt disgusted with the always aggressive Yongchang Hou Mansion.

Xiao Yongrui was just a guard, knowing his own affairs, he didn't dare to speak up.

He said: "Second son, Captain Ren, we have already brought the money here. In the next few days, we will first buy some of the nearby forests. If rubber products are really popular in the future, it will not be too late to buy all the forests .”

Guangxin is a small frontier county, and it is frequently attacked by soldiers.No one in the high gate of the imperial capital is willing to take a second look at this place.No one would consider this place as their own fief even if the prince is crowned king, so there is no need to worry too much about being taken away by others.

Glancing at Ren Ning, Xiao Yongrui continued: "What is missing now is the rubber-making process in Captain Ren's hands. For other developments or confidential matters, the Zhen Guo Gongfu and the Bofu are very knowledgeable, and the captain doesn't have to worry about leaking information. thing."

Ren Ning nodded, he touched Yingpan's family letter on the table.

"After a day's driving today, everyone is tired, so take a good rest first. Let's talk about the rest tomorrow."
