Different generation married man

Seeing that the opening of the store is getting closer, it is not the first time for Su Mo to open a store. He is familiar with these procedures, and it is enough to leave things to the clerk to worry about. If there is anything that cannot be resolved, he will come forward.

On this day, suddenly a eunuch from the palace came to the door, and General Chang welcomed him in, "There is someone from Zhengjun's palace."

"My servant, Jiang Ning, has seen Su Zhengjun." The person who came was a middle-aged eunuch in his thirties, with a fleshy face, and looked a little smooth.

Although he saluted and greeted Su Mo politely, his attitude was a little subtle. The narrowed eyes were hidden by the eyelids, with an imperceptible scrutiny, and they were kind when others looked at him. laugh.

"Eunuch Jiang." Su Mo pretended not to know, and while inviting him to sit down, said to Chang Zhong, "Mr. Chang will show this father-in-law tea."

"No need!" Jiang Ning quickly smiled and waved his hands, "The servant came here today for one thing. After finishing talking, the servant has to do other things, and there is really no delay. Please forgive me, Su Zhengjun."

Seeing that he insisted on not sitting down, Su Mo led the people to walk in the garden at will, but at this season, he could only enjoy the plum blossoms.

"I don't know why Eunuch Jiang came to see me." As for these eunuchs who were on duty in the palace, although he didn't need to go out of his way to praise them, it was also not necessary to offend these villains for a trivial matter.

Jiang Ning stepped on small steps, but his waist was straight, as if he could be taller than others. Although he had a smile on his face, it was superficial.

"The servant is in charge of sweets in the House of Internal Affairs. Now the palace is running out of frosting sugar. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, a lot of frosting sugar will be used in the banquet. The servant is also in a dilemma. Thinking that the candy house is not the next business Is the candy offered internally? The servants are thinking that they don’t have to wait until the early spring of next year, so it’s better to send it to the palace now to relieve the urgent need.” When Jiang Ning said these words, he was smiling, and the corners of his eyes slightly drooped quietly. Looking at Su Mo's face, he seemed to want to see something from his face.

Su Mo said calmly, "Eunuch Jiang, Mr. Benzheng remembers that the frosted sugar for inner offerings was sent to the palace at the beginning of January of the following year. This is a common practice."

This was the first time that Su Mo used his status to pressure someone. Jiang Ning immediately bowed to show respect, but his voice was somewhat unclear, "Su Zhengjun, you also know that this is just a convention."

Su Mo raised his eyebrows, implying that it is just a convention, not an express rule, and there are many regulations that can be done.

For example, now, let him supply the goods in advance. In truth, they are right, but it is just to embarrass you. Besides, as we all know, this frosting is made and put into storage in November every year. It is not difficult to send a certain amount of frosting sugar to the palace.

But these are those sugar-making families, and they don't represent Su Mo. They are sure that Su Mo has no raw materials to make frosting sugar, so they must not be able to hand it over.But he didn't want to wait until next year, so he simply moved the time forward, just to catch him off guard and affect the opening of the Candy House in Beijing.

Su Mo turned around in his heart for a few times, and almost wanted to understand what was going on, so he naturally didn't want to talk any more with this eunuch Jiang, and said, "Okay, I understand."

Jiang Ning squinted his eyes, but couldn't see any expression on Su Mo's face. He couldn't tell what Su Mo was thinking now, so he said, "I'm sorry for Su Zhengjun, and the slave will leave."

After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he was about to leave. At this moment, Su Mo could tell which family he was from, and was upset, so he nodded dispensably and let him leave.

Just as Jiang Ning turned around, as if he suddenly remembered something, he said a little embarrassedly, "Su Zhengjun, the masters of all the palaces and halls in this palace need frosting sugar for their daily cakes and desserts, but the stock of frosting sugar is not enough. It's running out, when do you think this white sugar will be sent to the palace?"

Su Mo looked at him with a half-smile, his cold gaze turned into icicles, "What does Eunuch Jiang mean?"

Jiang Ning subconsciously moved his gaze away an inch, not daring to look directly at him. When he realized that he was being suppressed by a twin from the countryside, he felt uncomfortable for a while.

So crazy now, is it just a blind cat who met a dead mouse, and really thinks that he is great?

He was ridiculed in his heart, but he said, "It's best within seven days."

"Okay." This time, Su Mo didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so he asked Chang Zhong to see off the guests.

As soon as Jiang Ning left, Su Mo's face darkened. Although he prepared the frosting sugar for the royal family early in the morning, but now that the New Year is approaching, the people in the caravan closed their business early and went home to celebrate the New Year with their families. went.

He wanted to find someone to transport the sugar, and it was really hard to find someone for a while.

Although there are many soldiers in his sugar factory, it is not convenient for them to come forward to deliver, and this batch of white sugar is not small, and the carriage needed for delivery is not enough. It is not easy to buy now, nor is it good to borrow. borrow.

The members of the Chen family obviously took this time to make things difficult for him, but he had to jump into this pit, really aggrieved.

After Jiang Ning left the Yan Mansion, he returned to the palace, touched the thin paper in his arms with his fingers, and showed a sincere smile on his face.

At this time, the Chen family colluded with the eunuchs in the House of Internal Affairs and asked Su Mo to send sugar to the palace in advance, just to be sure that Su Mo did not have enough sugar to supply the royal family.

If you can't hand over the candy at this time, you will be suspected of cheating, and if you can delay the opening of the candy house, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

How could Su Mo do what they wanted?After standing quietly in the garden for a while, I had an idea in my heart.

He picked a plum blossom from the plum tree, took it back to the house, and handed it to Yun Juan who came up, "Find a bottle and stick it in."

"Yes, Zhengjun." Yun Juan put the flowers in a vase on the table, and said happily, "This year's plum blossoms are blooming better than previous years."

Yun Zhui was on the other side sorting out the books that Su Mo threw on the table after reading it, "The branch that Zheng Jun folded is particularly promising."

Su Mo sat down and leaned on the back of the chair casually, "Kaka went to that garden again?"

"That's right! I just went out, and I must have gone to catch fish in the garden again." These days, after getting familiar with Kaka, the two of them are not as scared as they were at the beginning, and their tone is more casual.

"Let it go!" Su Mo also knew that it would be difficult for Kaka to stay in the mansion all the time, and if he didn't let him have some fun on his own, he might lose his temper.

***

In the afternoon, Su Mo went to Yu's house.

Hearing from the butler that Mr. Yu was playing chess with the eldest son in the book, thinking about Mr. Yu's chess skills, he couldn't help but mourn for Yufeng for three seconds, and complimented him insincerely, "Drinking tea and playing chess in winter is also a fun thing."

The housekeeper glanced at him with a smile, and then answered, "Master Ninth is also here."

Excuse me!It turns out that there are two stinky chess baskets, the eldest son is probably going crazy!

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard Yu Jiu's voice from afar, "Oh, I told you to take this step, but you don't believe me, it's all over now! I'm going to lose again!"

Father Yu and his son's voice was like a loud bell, which made their ears buzzing, "It's not you, a bastard, who commanded carelessly here, causing your father and I to make a wrong move!"

Yufeng's voice sounded, feeling a little powerless, "Ninth brother, you are a real gentleman who watches chess without talking."

Yu Jiu's upright voice sounded, "Brother, I'm not a gentleman."

"Not a gentleman, is it a villain? Wait! Dad, what are you doing?"

"What to do, I accidentally made a wrong move, try again!"

"Father has no regrets!" He had already started gnashing his teeth.

"I don't regret it, I don't regret it! It's just that! Boss, you also know that your father and I are getting old, and this old and dim-sighted person will naturally make mistakes. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is nothing good about it."

With a sound of "Puchi", Su Mo spat out, it turns out that this sentence can still be used in this way, be taught, be taught!Meeting such an unreliable father and younger brother, Mr. Yu must be going crazy!

Su Mo shook his head, decided to rescue the poor Mr. Yu first, then opened the door and walked in. The old housekeeper said in a timely manner, "Master, Mr. Ninth, Mr. Su Zhengjun is here."

It means to signal them to keep it.

Master Yu looked up, stroked his beard and smiled, "Su Zhengjun is here, what a distinguished guest!" Standing up while talking, his sleeves seemed to be casually swept across the chessboard. , not very sincerely oops, "What's the mess? It's a pity that the outcome is not announced, wait until later."

Yufeng silently put down the chess piece in his hand, "No need, my child has important things to do later, so I won't grow old with you. It just so happens that Xiao Jiu has a lot of time, so let him accompany you!"

"No!" Old Master Yu and Yu Jiu said at the same time, both of them looked disgusted, and Su Mo watched it interestingly.

Yufeng stood up, bowed to Su Mo and led him to a seat, and after exchanging pleasantries, said, "Did something happen to Su Zhengjun?"

I have to say that Yufeng was as careful as a hair, and he found out that Su Mo was hiding something in his heart after a while.

Su Mo didn't hide it from him, and told him about Jiang Ning's coming to him in the morning. Before Yufeng said anything, Mr. Yu slapped the handrail, "These people are getting more and more unruly. What you do so blatantly is to deceive you that you have no foundation."

Yu Jiu was also filled with righteous indignation, "This is shameless."

Yufeng was worried about another question, "Su Zhengjun, let me ask one more question, do you have enough sugar in your house?"

The Yu family also knew about the Chen family's blockade of raw materials. Like the Chen family, they thought that Su Mo's production of white sugar depended on the [-] acres of sugar cane, but how much sugar could be produced from that little sugar cane?

Yufeng once made indirect remarks, but the answer he got was that there is no need to worry.

But for so long, Su Mo hadn't made any other movements, and he was about to start to doubt it. Now that time is so tight, if there is not enough sugar in stock, there will be big trouble.

Su Mo said, "Young Master, don't worry, it's enough."

Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief, "What do I need to do?"

At this time, Su Mo was not polite to him, "Originally, I planned to send sugar to the capital one after another after the Chinese New Year, but now that it comes out like this, it completely disrupts my plan. It is not easy to hire a caravan to transport goods at this time. I want to borrow one from the Yu family to help me deliver sugar to Yuncheng."
