Chapter 30: Cooperation
Ni Manqing was stunned when she heard this, her eyes as fast as the sea were filled with panic. She held the teacup tightly with her little hands, not knowing how to respond.
This is a very strange experience. She is working with Yun Yi in Japan today. But for some reason, when Yun Yi guessed that she came for the mirror, she felt panic and ashamed.
In the dark, she didn't want to add too many utilitarian elements to the relationship between herself and Yun Yi, even if she was just a friend... This is a novel feeling she had never had before, so she became panicked.
Yun Yi was calm and thoughtful. He knew that there should be nothing else except mirrors. As for where Miss Ni learned about this channel, it is unknown.
However, it is normal to think about it. Just now, Ni Manqing said that her family had many jade shops in Bianjing, and Jingxinzhai, which sells pens, inkstones, papers and inkstones. You should know that whether it is gold, silver jewelry, or pens, inkstones, papers and inkstones, any business that is related to nobles and scholars is not something that ordinary people can do in the Song Dynasty. In other words, if the family does not have some background strength, they can only go out to set up a pancake stall.
What's impossible for a wealthy businessman who is very good at finding out about the mirror with a little means?
After a long silence, Ni Manqing finally mustered up the courage, nodded, and said, "I dare not deceive the young master. I did come for the precious mirror. But I don't know if the young master still has inventory?"
Yun Yi nodded slightly, thinking that it was indeed the case.
Then he asked, "Yes, yes, but I don't know if the girl wants this mirror, should she use it yourself, or?"
Ni Manqing was happy at first, then, as if she remembered something unhappy. Her beautiful face showed a hint of bitterness. She looked up at Yun Yi, who was so leisurely opposite, and said quietly: "After speaking of this, I can't help it..."
Yun Yi picked up the teapot, added new tea to her, and looked at her with a look of calmness.
It turns out that in this generation, the Ni family has produced several scholars. Ni Manqing has three elder brothers. Now two are already officials in the local area. Although one is still a scholar, he insists on "learning and being good at being an official" and wants to follow his brother's footsteps to become an official.
As for the huge family business of the Ni family, Ni Manqing shook her head with a wry smile. The three brothers were all official fans, and in the end they could only be supported by her youngest sister.
However, after all, this matter is not decided by their direct line. The Ni family is in Suzhou and has great business, and the branches are mixed together. It would be fine if the Ni family Dalang was in charge of the family industry, but now it is on Ni Manqing's head, and many people jumped out directly.
Fortunately, Ni Manqing is not a soft persimmon, so she made a bet with her family elders.
Ninety percent of the Ni family's industries are related to silk fabrics, and the development of the family has already reached an embarrassing bottleneck period. If you want to go further, you can only look for opportunities in other industries.
Ni Manqing's bet was to give her three years and she would open up a new development path for her family.
At present, the results are quite gratifying. Ni Manqing spent two years to open three jade shops and two more calligraphy shops in Bianjing City, and the business was also very good.
However, what embarrassed her was that in the eyes of the elders at home, these five shops had just gained a foothold. As for the fact that they were scattered across the country like family industries, it seemed impossible at present.
Moreover, her family knows her family's affairs. The reason why Ni Manqing can develop so smoothly in Bianjing City is that on the one hand, it is that she relies on several relationships in the capital, and on the other hand, she has made friends with Zhao Mujin, Li Qingzhao and other best friends secretly helping her.
If it is placed in other places, such as Jinling, Lin'an, Chengdu, and Fuzhou... I'm afraid that the situation will not be opened.
Now there is still one year left. If you continue to develop at this pace, you will definitely lose the bet. The store you have worked hard to run in the past two years may also be handed over to the family.
Then, like an ordinary woman, she married a man she didn't know at all, and from then on she took care of her husband and children, wasting her whole life.
Whenever she thinks of this, Ni Manqing can't help but feel miserable. She is a capable person. Although she is a woman, she thinks she is not worse than an ordinary man, and she even has it in business.
Hearing this, Yun Yi nodded suddenly. He actually quite recognized Ni Manqing's talent.
Not to mention anything else, it was the opening event that day. It was a move that only the protagonist who had cheated in time travel novels could come up with a cheat. Ni Manqing didn't look like a time traveler, but she just made it up.
Facing Ni Manqing's sad expression, Yun Yi just smiled bitterly and shook his head. The beauty always had some advantage, let alone a pitiful and stunning girl. Yun Yi didn't know how to speak for a while.
I saw him pinch a chess piece and rub it with his thumb for a moment. This was Yun Yi's habitual movement when he was thinking about problems. He put out the small movements he had developed in studying chess games all year round. His already handsome face frowned a touch of eyebrows that only mature men had.
Ni Manqing, who was sitting opposite, could not hear the response for a long time, raised her eyes slightly and looked at him. Now, she was obsessed with a close-up and careful observation of a opposite sex was the only one in her life. Gradually, she became obsessed with it.
I don’t know how long it took for Yun Yi to put the chess piece on the chessboard and look at her: “Miss Ni.”
"Ah, please tell me, Mr. Yun." Ni Manqing was so scared that her heart trembled and she was ashamed of shame.
Yun Yi smiled and said, "Let's cooperate!"
"cooperate?"
“Yes, cooperation.”
Yun Yi focused his focus and smiled particularly brightly.
···
Cangkang, three ivory dices fell on the board, and the final points were five, two, three.
Li Qingzhao pouted her red lips and felt a little dissatisfied.
Zhao Mujin covered her mouth, giggled secretly, and pinched the dice and said, "You are afraid you will lose this game."
Li Qingzhao grunted and said, "It's not necessarily true."
With a creak, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open. The person who came was none other than Ni Manqing who was still in the peach blossom house just now.
"Hey, both sisters are here!" She was in a good mood and blessed the two on the soft couch, and then walked to the desk beside her with some difficulty in holding a box.
With a bang, it seemed quite heavy. Ni Manqing pulled out a silk cut from her waist with relief and sucked the fine sweat on her forehead dry.
Zhao Mujin on the soft couch was waiting for her to discuss the purchase of Suxiu. Seeing this, she said curiously: "Why did my sister come so late today? What's that box? What's so heavy? Just find someone to carry it up, why do you do it yourself?"
Ni Manqing glanced at Zhao Mujin, stuffed the silk squid into her belt casually, and laughed, saying, "Sister doesn't know, this box of things is a treasure, I'm not at ease when others move it, hehe!"
Zhao Mujin was stunned for a moment and looked at the box that was obviously made of ordinary fir trees, with a few burrs on it. What kind of treasure can it be?
Ni Manqing didn't keep it a secret, but directly lifted the lid, took out a book-sized wooden board, and smiled and said, "Sister should know the mirror that Concubine Pan gave to Princess Xixia. Look what this is!"
"Mirror?"
