He Ye ran out of breath: "I heard that there is something wrong with the tens of thousands of acres of mulberry fields in our house. The mulberry leaves are withered and there is no way to feed silkworms!"
Nan Baoyi was shocked.
Nanfu has been in the Sichuan brocade business for hundreds of years. She has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she knows very well what it means when there is a problem with the mulberry tree.
"My slave also heard that the stock of fresh mulberry leaves in the warehouse can only last for five or six days, and it will be too late by the time new leaves grow. Now is the critical period for spring silkworms to lay cocoons, which is too bad - eh, girl, go ahead where!"
Nan Baoyi grabbed the hem of her skirt and ran towards Songhe Courtyard.
Panting, she ran to the flower hall, held the door and looked in.
The atmosphere in the hall was gloomy.
Grandma looked through the account book with a solemn expression, and there were several big stewards of the village standing underneath, all with sullen faces and faint tears in their eyes.
There are millions of spring silkworms, which the silkworm farmers have worked hard to feed all spring. If they all die, not only will the silkworm farmers have no harvest, but even the weavers will lose their jobs.
It will cause death!
Grandma closed the account book and said, "If you buy mulberry leaves from somewhere else"
The manager was very embarrassed, "On the day of the accident, the villain sent someone to the market to ask. But the price of mulberry leaves in Jinguancheng soared overnight. Buying it at this time would not be worth the loss. If you buy it from other places, it may take a long time." It¡¯s too late¡ What¡¯s more, which family has so many mulberry leaves?¡±
While they were discussing, Mother Ji hurried in and whispered in the old lady's ear.
The old lady frowned, "What is she here for?"
After a pause, she said: "That's it, please come in."
Not long after, Nan Baoyi saw Mrs. Xia coming.
Mrs. Xia was radiant and sat down with a smile on her face, "I heard that the old lady was in trouble, so I came over here to see if there was anything I could do to help."
"Thank you for your trouble." The old lady smiled and motioned to the maid to serve tea.
Nan Baoyi was hiding outside the door, her slender and charming phoenix eyes shining with dark light.
The Nan family and the Xia family are both great merchants of Shu Brocade.
The Xia family also has thousands of acres of mulberry fields and countless weaving mills under its name. If anyone can control the price of mulberry leaves in the market, it can only be the Xia family.
¡°Could it be said that the Xia family was behind this incident in the Nan family¡¯s mulberry field?
Yes, my grandmother rejected the Xia family¡¯s marriage last time, so Mrs. Xia must be holding a grudge
Nan Baoyi gritted his teeth and heard Mrs. Xia laughing:
"Now is the critical period for spring silkworms to lay cocoons. It would be a pity if they starve to death. Our family can spare enough mulberry leaves to subsidize you. Considering that we have known each other for many years, the price is easy to negotiate."
The old lady said calmly: "Tell me, what are the conditions."
"Old Madam is so refreshing!" Madam Xia smiled from ear to ear, "We, Qingqing, have fallen in love with Mr. Xiao from your house, and our family sincerely wants to marry you. As long as Old Madam agrees to this marriage, Nan If the mansion is short of mulberry leaves, the Xia family is willing to shoulder the responsibility!"
Shameless!
Nan Baoyi cursed secretly in his heart.
She hugged the fan and looked at her grandmother nervously.
Grandma put down the tea cup and stroked her skirt kindly, "I'm afraid that Mrs. Xia's trip will be in vain."
She is a businesswoman.
The value of Xiao Yi is far more valuable than a year's Shu brocade harvest.
She will not do something stupid like picking up sesame seeds and throwing away the watermelon.
Mrs. Xia¡¯s face was ugly, and she obviously didn¡¯t expect that she would be rejected.
She frowned fiercely: "Old madam, you are old, so don't be stupid!"
"If Mrs. Xia has nothing else to do, please come back. We don't need you to worry about our family's affairs."
Mrs. Xia was ordered to be kicked out before her chair was even warm.
She stood up angrily, "I want to see how you can get through this without the help of our Xia family!"
After she left, the old lady gradually stopped smiling.
She stroked the account book, and her old face seemed to have two more fine lines.
Nan Baoyi felt very distressed.
She knew that her second uncle and her eldest brother were doing business outside, and her second aunt went to Duan County to audit the accounts. Her father was useless, so the only one who could really take care of things in the house was her grandmother.
Grandma is so old and shouldn¡¯t have to work so hard.
She stepped across the threshold, "Grandma"
When the old lady saw it was her, she immediately smiled and waved: "When did Jiao Jiao'er come here? Come quickly,"?Grandma hugs! "
Nan Baoyi leaned into her arms charmingly, "What kind of incense did grandma smoke today? It smells particularly good!"
"Grandma is already old, and she is not a little girl like you, so why should she smoke incense?"
"It must be because my grandmother has been serving in front of the Buddha for a long time and has been contaminated by the Buddha's incense! The Buddha is protecting my grandmother!"
The old man was coaxed to smile.
She scraped the tip of Nan Baoyi's nose, "You have such a sweet little mouth!"
Nan Baoyi took the opportunity and said, "Grandma, are you worried about Sangtian?"
The old man¡¯s eyes dimmed and he forced a smile: ¡°It¡¯s all about business, Jiao Jiao¡¯er, don¡¯t worry. As long as you eat and drink well every day, grandma will be happier than anything else!¡±
"Grandma, I am also a member of the mansion. Now that there is something wrong with the mansion, I should help. You are old and it is inconvenient to go to Zhuangzi. I am willing to go to Zhuangzi on your behalf to see what those mulberry fields are. what happened."
"You want to go to Zhuangzi?"
The old man was surprised.
How could her charming son go to a place like Zhuangzi, having been raised in a harem since childhood?
Nan Baoyi nodded seriously, "Grandma, I'm not afraid of hardship."
"But¡ª¡ª"
"Grandma, just let me go out and relax!" Nan Baoyi acted coquettishly.
The old man couldn't resist her, so he had to agree and let her go to Zhuangzi with the steward tomorrow morning.
After the little girl left, Mother Ji gave her a slap on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Miss Fifth is sensible now and knows how to help the government."
The old lady smiled.
She didn¡¯t expect Jiao Jiao¡¯er to be of any help, but the little girl¡¯s filial piety was extremely valuable and she should fulfill it.
She raised her hand and rubbed her temples, and began to worry about the mulberry leaves again.
¡¡
Nan Baoyi returned to Chaowen Courtyard and excitedly asked He Ye to pack her luggage.
The lotus leaf collapsed, "Miss, you are not a gardener. There is something wrong with the mulberry tree. What's the use of running over there? It's just causing trouble!"
Nan Baoyi said arrogantly, "He Ye, how can you look down on me? Your young lady, I, have won the first place in the Hua Chao event. I am so smart as ice and snow, but as wise as a fool!"
She really doesn¡¯t know how to take care of a mulberry tree.
But that doesn¡¯t mean she has nothing to do.
Heye couldn¡¯t understand what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she had to help her pack her luggage.
The second day.
The sky was slightly bright, and Nan Baoyi took a carriage and headed to Qingcheng Villa.
The journey is long and requires half a day of driving.
While she was dozing off, a carriage quietly appeared behind the official road.
Xiao Yi was sitting upright in the carriage, looking through the accounts.
He needs to go to Qingcheng Mountain to supervise food and audit accounts.
Driving was very painful, and I suddenly reminded: "Sir, isn't that the carriage in our house?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
