Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Shangguan Chu and Ning Xiu made an appointment at noon.

It really can't be regarded as an agreement. Shangguan Chu made the decision unilaterally and then sent someone to the Ningguo Duke's mansion. At that time, Ning Xiuyuan had already gone out, so he asked someone to find Ning Xiuren and asked Ning Xiuren to convey the message on his behalf. Although Ning Xiuren had disliked this guy for many years, he really didn't know whether he was really busy or just idle, so he waved his hand and asked someone to take the sign from Duke Ning's Mansion and go to the palace to find Ning Xiuyuan.

Although I don’t know what kind of banquet Shangguan Chu is hosting, the summons from my future uncle means that I will go there even if it means a knife from the sky.

However, even though he was mentally prepared for this, Ning Xiuyuan still couldn't hold back when he saw Shangguan Chu placing the bill in front of him, and his temples jumped hard.

Shangguan Chu's price for two pieces of cloud brocade silk satin was as high as 10,000 taels! Yun Jinsi has indeed been very popular in Yanjing City in the past two years, but it is far from reaching such a sky-high price. Ning Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the man opposite who was leaning on the back of the chair to relax and drink tea, and asked silently.

"Speaking of it...it is true that my sister-in-law has always been spoiled by us. She spends money lavishly...it is difficult for the third master. To tell you the truth, the little girl has a good heart and is pure and kind. These two horses Buba, as far as I know, one was used to make clothes for Shen Luoxin, and the other was given to Grandma Wang... You see, she is also a filial girl, but a bit difficult to raise. Fortunately, Sanye's family has a big business big……"

Ning Xiuyuan stood up and picked up the bill, turned it over and over, and raised his eyebrows casually, "Two pieces of cloud brocade silk... As far as I know, they can't be sold at this price."

"That was before, and this is the price now." Shangguan Chu didn't blush or breath, and smiled calmly and lazily, "Third Master, you can rest assured, my Shangguan Chu's personality and reputation are there. , if you don’t believe it, you can always send someone to Jiangnan to inquire... Who wouldn’t praise me, Shangguan Chu, for being honest and keeping my promise?"

He is the only one in Yanjing City who can buy this kind of fabric. How much it sells for doesn't depend on Master Chu's mood? He said that two pieces of cloth cost ten thousand taels, so it would be ten thousand taels. Master Chu picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip. His eyes looked over the rim of the cup and landed on the bill in the other person's hand. His eyes were gentle as if he were looking at his most beloved girl.

Ning Xiuyuan glanced at the other party, personality? reputation? Go to Jiangnan and ask around. Who doesn't know that the biggest profiteer in Jiangnan is Shangguan Chu? Even a beggar would be scratched off a layer of grease when he walked in front of him. He was cursing in his heart, but Qingjun nodded gently on his face, and said with a serious tone, "Since my little girl bought the cloth, it is indeed my responsibility to pay for it...Brother Shangguan just asked the boy in the shop to run over. That’s right, why go through this in person? Will it delay Brother Shangguan’s business for half a day?”

These words are really touching.

At least for Shangguan Chu, having known Ning Xiuyuan for so long, this sentence was the most touching. Whenever someone gave him money, no matter who said it, he would probably find it very touching. If Chen Jiahui left 10,000 taels of silver in front of Shangguan Chu at this time, maybe Shangguan Chu could sit down and complain to him about this. My sister is so perverse and ignorant.

Shangguan Chu stood up with a smile, walked to Ning Xiuyuan to pour him tea, walked back to his seat and sat down, then squinted his eyes and turned the jade in his hand, and said perfunctorily and flatteringly, "The third master of the Ning family is really a cheerful person. , much more likable than your two brothers. I wonder, these ten thousand taels of silver...how will the third master pay for it?" "Huh?" Ning Xiuyuan put the bill in his hand back on the table, and then picked up the tea poured by Shangguan Chu. After taking a sip, he smiled gently and said, "Ten thousand taels? Did Brother Shangguan misunderstand something?"

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?" Shangguan Chu choked, with a smile on his face, and asked tentatively, "Don't Mr. Ning mean that he should pay for these two pieces of cloth for Xiao Ning? Two pieces of cloud brocade silk , ten thousand taels, the price is clearly marked, where is the misunderstanding?"

"Brother Shangguan just said that there are two pieces of cloud brocade silk on this bill. One was given to Grandma Wang by Wuyan as a token of gratitude for her care of her grandparents and grandchildren over the years. The other one was given by Shen Shen. The girl bought it to make clothes for herself. If I pay for Miss Shen's fabric today, if Wuyan finds out later, I'm afraid I will kneel on the washboard..."

The smile on Shangguan Chu's face disappeared at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, and the jade in his hand stopped turning. He bit his back teeth and reminded every word, "Both pieces of cloth are salt-free. Xiaoni." She told the shopkeeper to give one to Grandma Wang and one to Shen Luoxin. "Humph, this girl is really generous. She gave it away as soon as she said it would be given away. She will be a good person and pay for the money herself. How can there be any This kind of truth must be retrieved from Ning Xiuyuan no matter what!

He was gnashing his teeth there, but Ning Xiuyuan seemed oblivious. He just clicked on the details on the bill, "Look, the shopkeeper wrote clearly, one is Miss Shen, the other is Miss Ji."

"The shopkeeper made a mistake!"

"Brother Shangguan said this, it makes no sense. The shopkeeper wrote the wrong bill and it was you who gave it to me. Why didn't brother Shangguan think there was anything wrong before? Now that he saw me questioning the whereabouts of this piece of fabric, he said it was the shopkeeper. Wrong writing... What is Brother Shangguan doing with the shopkeeper who can even make such a mistake? You should pay your wages and drive away early!"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? It's up to me to decide whether my shopkeeper should stay or not. Now all you need to do is prepare ten thousand taels of silver and have someone send it over. Whether it's banknotes or silver, it doesn't matter. Done, I will take it all!" After saying that, he gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth again, and said that Ning Xiuyuan's money was not that easy to get, and he didn't expect to be bothered here.

Ning Xiuyuan was very good-tempered. He shook his head and sighed, "Brother Shangguan, it's really not that I don't want to pay. It's five thousand taels. I believe that if Brother Shangguan agrees, it can be settled today, but the remaining five thousand taels can be settled today." Qianliang, if Brother Shangguan has to bear the responsibility no matter what, then I have to discuss it with Ning Ning. After all, I am paying for another girl's family... I'm afraid that if I can't explain it clearly in the future, Ning Ning will blame me."

How can he be a talented young man who dominates the court with such a sincere and sincere attitude? He looks like a henpecked coward!
What a look! This is a threat to tell Xiao Ning about this matter!
Shangguan Chu bit his back teeth so hard that he could hear a squeaking sound, and the veins on his neck were exposed. He stared at the tea cup in Ning Xiuyuan's hand for a long time, and then stood up and snatched the tea cup back from Ning Xiuyuan's hand. He placed it heavily on the table in front of him - Ning Xiuyuan, but you believed his lies and even poured him tea!
drink! Drink like crazy!
