Vol 2 Chapter 23: Mouth

From the beginning of the lunar calendar in early November, the cold weather shrouded Jiangning City. In the first nine days of the eighth day, the sky was snowing up. With the goose-like snow flakes, the white coats quietly wrapped the whole ancient city.
The snow is not yet thick enough to stop people from going out, but according to the usual example of the past, since it has already begun to fall, it may be there until the spring of next year. The snow flakes will last for two to three months. Intermittently, if it is a poor family, such weather is almost difficult to go out. In some places, people don’t even have winter clothes. When the snow is closed, they can only wrap the quilt all day long. Up, winter is not a good day for most people in this era.
The big cities like Jiangning will be better. After all, there are still a lot of people who are well-developed in business and have a good family. In the few days when the first snow falls, the school is still open. Of course, several students living outside the city have not come. It is also commonplace. There is a small pot of charcoal fire on the side of the lecturer. The students can only rely on the doors and windows to block a little wind. Fortunately, they are all at the age of blood, and the problem is not big. There is one for each of the two female students. A beautiful warm stove, nestled in his arms. Originally, the adults in the family have not allowed them to come back to the school, but they are reluctant to miss the story told by Ning Yi, so they still ran to attend classes.
Qin's chess booth has not been set since the weather began to cool. Ning Yi also went to his home several times, and certainly not too often. However, for the elderly, it is also a good thing for people who can speak to visit the door. It is also a good thing to encounter Kang Xian. This old man took a few ancient paintings and commented on it. After Qin Qinjian, he made a cover. Business seal.
After the heavy snow fell, Ning Yi piled a snowman in the courtyard of Sufu. Every night, the scenery of the entire Sufu is the most fascinating. From the second floor, you can look out from the second floor. The light spots in the courtyards of the courtyards are warm and magnificent. The antiques are clearly the oriental style. Those light groups are like In general, if you have a camera, Ning Yi would like to take a few pictures as a commemoration. However, the second floor is also windy, standing for a while, Xiaoyan will come up to call people.
This evening, after all, sitting in the living room downstair disposed in the roasting fire is more interesting, chat about gossip, play chess, read a book, Su Taner and a few selected fabrics, do embroidery. The relationship between Ning Yi and Su Tan's master and servant is naturally good. Sitting together and playing Gobang, the apricot who likes gossip occasionally tells about the anecdotes that happen in the big house. Occasionally, a few little girls will argue about Ning Yi. The content of the story, the fox demon and the generals who fight more fierce, the Xiahou generals who like to eat the eyes have no hustle and bustle, or the female genie who is killed will not be very innocent, the content is different, occasionally Run over and ask Ning Yi to let him refer the winner.
Su Taner gradually liked the simple rules of Gobang. She would check the books every few days, and one person would sit next to the plan, and the three little girls would occasionally help. If you play chess with Ning Yi, you will also idlely talk about the interesting things of the relatives of the big house, and simply reveal the relationship between them.
Occasionally there will be relatives who come over at night. After snowing, several students in Ning Yi’s school will occasionally come over and ask for something. Actually, they want to put some stories to listen to. In purely storytelling, Su Taner also likes to listen to these things, take the needlework and sit on the side of the embroidered and hear the book.
Occasionally, there will be some brothers and sisters coming over. The younger one is Su Laner’s "Second Sister". Most of them want to do something without money. Come and complain to her, I want to slap the money, Su Tan’s People are good. These people also know that as long as there is a sense of proportion, Su Tan will give it a lot. If you want a hundred words, you can always get it from 60 to 80. It’s just that you have to listen to Su Tan’s 叮嘱 and 唠. Hey. It is enough for them to drink a few good nights on the Qinhuai River.
These people say that they are excuses for progress, but what will happen? Even Ning Yi, who is not familiar with these cousins, can clearly see that Su Tan is still very patient, no matter What excuse the other party is looking for, she always looks like she is completely convinced, and she goes through the topic to say some sincere advice. Then she asks the other party not to spend money. If she wants to be a brother, her attitude is also put. Very low, the image of my sister is very well-behaved, and occasionally teasing a few words: "When did the girl in the Spring Breeze Court become my nephew..." and the human being is so good that after she leaves, she puts up the silver ticket. The small box is still a beautiful and kind smile, and then I talked with Ning Yi about the fun of the cousin's cousin. It is a good thing, and pride is accompanied by a deep affection.
Ning Yi looked at these shots and looked interesting. The family may be there, but he also understood why the third generation of the Su family had no available people. Su Tan's marriage has been dragged on for a few years. At the age of 19, she said that she is already an old girl. However, in the eyes of Ning Yi, this is not the case. The wife who has already started to master the Sujia big room is still a girl. The appearance and body shape, even when talking, smiling, even with a little bit of green, but the various measures contained in the grasp of the degree of grasp, it is indeed not to be underestimated.
I can get together every day, play chess and tell stories, and the atmosphere between Ning Yi and Su Tan is more natural than when I only eat a meal every day. Then, Su Taner also proposed Let Ning Yi go out with her occasionally and go to some invitations to visit people who need to visit.
Sujiabu has done a lot of business, and there are also many vassal merchants, reliable or unreliable business partners. Su Taner occasionally goes out to others to visit the business, and there is always a man who follows it better. In fact, these visits were not very necessary before, but once they have finished the year, it will become very important for them to go out to their homes to celebrate the New Year. Su Taner’s invitation at this time actually hopes that Ning Yi will be familiar with these things. Of course, after a few days, she will be able to find with satisfaction that Ning Yi is very competent at least in terms of furnishings.
Ning Yi lacks interest in such things as doing business with others. When others talk about business, he pretends to drink tea, read calligraphy and painting, smile and daze. If there is a greeting to find a topic, he will naturally take out the tricks of Wan Xiangyou. Something, only showing a nerdy look. Su Taner brought him over, but in fact only asked him to naturally cope with the chill of others, not to give people a bad feeling. These people have more or less business contacts with the Sufu. They know that Ning Yi’s enrollment will not make him difficult. Of course, I also heard that Ning Yi’s fame, looking for a person to talk to him about poetry, such casual chat, also It is not a serious test, Ning Yi is naturally easy to use.
Which one and which one to visit, often on the road the day before or the next day, Su Taner said to the background, told Ning Yi, some of them are the former shopping malls of the Su family, some are Today's partners, or some are the wind and the wind on both sides of the wall. In this mode of getting along, she has a very good relationship with Ning Yi. When she goes out, she will laugh and talk to Ning Yi about the results of this trip. Let's make a few jokes or a few words on the old fox. Kento" and the like.
Most of the itinerary is such a boring thing. Of course, there are occasional exceptions. For example, on the day of November 14th, Ning Yi feels that... I am really bored...

"...The silk business of the Hejia brothers is still very good. The two brothers also have the ability, but they have not been qualitative. After the previous business with them, this time, I heard that I have talked with Xue Jia. Well, cooperation, come over today, but just do the best..."
Above the carriage, Su Taner said while turning the chain of beads on his hand. Ning Yi nodded.
"So, just let it be perfunctory?"
"Oh, Xianggong is free to perfuse one or two." She smiled and put the bead chain on her wrist, raised her head, and leaned her head to finish her hand and sorted the hair behind her head. "After the perfunctory, Xianggong afternoon Something?"
"I plan to go to the bookstore in the east of the city and look for the classics of the Tang Dynasty."
"Tell me out this morning and go with the public."
"Ok."
It is a business that cannot be negotiated. It is only a visit to the idea that the sale is not a matter of righteousness. As Ning Yi said, perfunctory is enough. However, if there is a fly and a cockroach in the process of perfunctory and temperament, it will kill the scenery. This afternoon, I came to Hejia to visit not only Su Tan and Ning Yi, but also two merchants. So the oldest brother of the He brothers, the silk merchant named by Su Tan In the side hall of the garden, the people were unified and the crowds were warmed up. From here, you can also see the snow in the garden outside. When you talk about it, the atmosphere is quite elegant. Also accompanied by the host, there is his son He Tingguang.
There are two main members of the Hejia family. In addition to He Wei, the second child of the brothers, He Feng, is the most talented person. Su Tan's book just came over and said hello. The tea party was opened for a while. She went to the garden with three gongs and the rest of the people to enjoy the snow. Then she met He Feng from there and looked over from here. The man is talking over there. There were fewer people in the eccentric hall. He Tingguang began to entangle the poetry of Ning Yi. He probably did not believe how many talents Ning Yi had. He wanted to test him. Unfortunately, his talents were not many. Ning Yi perfunctory. The other side is squatting over there, and the mouth hints at the friendship with the great talent Xue Jin. By the way, a few new works by Xue Jin let Ning Yi taste.
This guy is also a straw bag... Ning Yi feels bored, and He Tingguang’s father, He Wei, probably thinks that his son is saying something boring, and he has to help the original words. Ning Yi naturally has to pick up the words:
Listen to Tan Said that the size of the Hebiz Silk business is admirable, mainly in the Shouzhou area?"
He Wei frowned, but He Tingguang had already laughed: "Good to teach the world knows that my family is mainly engaged in the area of ​​Zhangzhou and Chaohu. If the brothers have to go out and play, they are looking for the wrong..."
Ning Yi groaned, and then nodded after a moment: "Oh, it turns out that... Zhangzhou is not far from Shouzhou, and the raw silk is transported..."
He did not know what was going on there, and his brow wrinkled deeper: "Why did Yinxian suddenly mention Shouzhou?"
"Not at all, Xue Jia has a batch of workshops not in Shouzhou, what is the strict treasurer responsible for it, I used to listen to who said last time... Well, I thought that the business of Hefu would be in Shouzhou..."
He Tingguang laughed: "The brothers don't understand these things, so they don't have to talk about it. Yanda's treasurer is obviously responsible for Ganzhou. He knows when he sits in a few uncles. I don't believe you can ask a few uncles. Ha ha……"
He said that the other two shops also laughed and made confirmation. Ning Yi smiled and nodded: "I don't understand this, I occasionally listen to a few pieces of piecemeal news, I made a mistake and made a mistake..." Everyone knows him. I don’t think it’s surprising to say this, just smile. The other day, He Wei is Shen Sheng: "I don't know where these pieces of news come from."
Ning Yi looked at his serious expression and thought about it with some doubts. Then he shook his head: "I just... I occasionally listened to people for a few days, hehe... The specifics are not clear, oh, let the world laugh. In business, Taner knows something, but I don’t understand it. I don’t know anything about Xue’s family. Instead, I confuse Zhangzhou with Shouzhou~EbookFREE.me~hehe...

He was so perfunctory, and the whole thing became a bit weird. Hey frowned and seemed to be thinking about some important things. Then he called a manager to swear a few words. Ning Yi frowned. : Speaking casually, I won’t really guess it...
He ran around with Su Tan, these days, although he was not interested in talking about business, but his heart slowly established a contour, who did what business, how to operate in the overall situation. These things, whether they deliberately think or can be placed in front of him in a clear or vague way, there is a possible outline, this time talking about Shouzhou, but is free to push the topic of He Tingguang just, he just from the front The chatter that I heard in those days faintly felt that Xue’s business might change. The focus of Ganzhou may turn to Shouzhou, and then Shouzhou’s direction. In fact, there is also a silk merchant who is in opposition to the Hejia, and may intervene... These things are only vague outlines in him. There is no such thing as grasping them. They are only keenly aware of one of the key points, but in the end, it is really telling them what they are...
So when he arrived, he left the door. When Ning Yi and Su Taner and He Wei were ready to go to the carriage, He Feng chased it out from the rear and exchanged a serious look with He Wei: "Shiyan Please stay a step. Regarding the silk of Mingchun, the plan of Su Shi’s neighboring places is not known. If the world’s niece has a shackle today, there is a group of spring silkworm business, and I want to discuss it with the prostitute...

Su Taner turned back and looked confused. She didn't understand why there was such a change. Back to the other side, Ning Yi rolled his eyes in a boring manner.
"Mom...the mouth is stunned..."
