six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 209
Cao Kui sent Su Liu out of the study room, frowning, and tapped on the table with his fingers curled up, duh, duh, duh, making a rhythmic rhythm.

"Master, did you call me?" The chief manager of the Cao Mansion came to the study and asked respectfully.

"Well, go and post a greeting to the Sun family in the city, and say that I want to visit Patriarch Sun." Cao Kui ordered lightly.

The Sun family?

Manager Cao was stunned for a moment. The Sun family is a grain merchant with a big business, and it is the largest grain merchant in Changping County. The Sun family and the Cao family also have business contacts, because the Sun family's grain is not just bought in Changping County. The income, as well as other remote places, need to be transported by water transport.

"Yes, master!" Although he was puzzled, Chief Cao still agreed.

"The two warehouses where we store grain, you need reliable people to take care of them, and then find some people to buy the grain, fill up the warehouses, try to collect the old grain from last winter, and don't attract people's attention."

Director Cao blinked, seeing Cao Kui's serious face, he finally couldn't help it, and asked tentatively, "Master, what's wrong?"

Cao Kui looked at Chief Manager Cao, who was also a loyal confidant of the Cao family, and he couldn't hide that matter, so he lowered his voice and said, "In the future, there will probably be wars."

"What?" Director Cao cried out.

The country of the Great Qi Dynasty is prosperous and the people are safe. There has been no war for many years. Why is there a war all of a sudden?
He suddenly remembered that Su Liu came to Cao Mansion today, and Su Liu's future husband is the famous General Zhenwei, so, is this the news from Su Liu?

"Master, but Miss Su?"

Cao Kui nodded, and said: "I don't know when this war will start, and the flames of war may not affect us, but it's better to be more prepared, so as not to be unable to prepare if the situation becomes chaotic."

"No wonder, I just said that in the past few days, there are many people who look like refugees in the city." Chief Manager Cao murmured, and then said: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter myself."

"Yeah!" Cao Kui nodded with his hands behind his back and said, "Don't make too much publicity. After all, this matter has not been reported, so as not to cause panic among the people."

Director Cao has been following Cao Kui since he was a child, so he naturally knows the importance of it. After all, the news has not spread, but he has stored a large amount of food. If he is not careful, other merchants will follow suit. The price of food will inevitably skyrocket, and the people will buy it if they have money. If there is no food, they will naturally panic.

"There has always been a granary in our mansion. If someone asks, we will respond with the saying of exchanging old grain for new grain." Chief Manager Cao thought for a while.

"That's a good idea. You have the full authority to host it. I plan to go to Shandong in two days. You should prepare." Cao Kui said, stroking his beard.

Su Liu reminded him that money can be earned again, but reputation is not easy to earn. If this matter is used properly, maybe he can accumulate some good reputation, and Cao Mingzhu will also have some confidence in the future.

Now that the Song family has been slow to mention marriage, isn't it just because he is a businessman?

Cao Kui sighed, for the sake of his precious daughter, even if he is opportunistic, he must do it.

Thinking of that girl Su Liu, Cao Kui said to Mr. Cao again: "When I go to Shandong, if Miss Su comes to ask for something, you can do whatever you want and give me the greatest convenience."

Director Cao nodded again and again. The Cao family is now holding the Song family's thigh and also Su Liu's thigh. Naturally, they cannot be neglected.

Su Liu came to Cao Kui to help him buy grain, firstly because he knew many merchants and had a wide range of channels, and secondly because there was an element of mutual benefit and interoperability, the grain stock was enough, if wars and food shortages in the future, Cao Kui You can also release the food in your hands, whether you do good deeds or do business, you can always get a good reputation.

A businessman has a bad reputation, but a philanthropist is different!
She wanted to buy more food, but unfortunately, she didn't have much cash on hand. After all, she had already spent a lot on buying land and houses in the early stage, and the investment in the donkey-hide gelatin workshop, for a while, The gross profit was not received so quickly.

Su Liu did the calculations, and now their family's money is only about 1000 taels.

More than 1000 taels, in the eyes of ordinary people, is an astronomical figure, but in the eyes of Su Liu, it is really about the same as ten taels, and it is only when the money is urgently needed that you will know how little it is.

Without money, no matter how planned she is, she can't put it to good use, but fortunately, the current grain is about one or two stones, and she can't buy more grain, but she can always save enough for the whole family to chew for a year or two.

Therefore, Su Liu planned to keep 200 taels of silver for maneuvering, and the rest of the silver was used to buy food, but unexpectedly, when he dozed off, Ning Guang sent him a pillow!
"This is?" Su Liu looked at Song Xiao in front of her in shock.

Song Xiao just came back from Shangjing and brought Su Liu the things that Ning Guang asked him to bring.

What Ning Guang gave was a wooden box. The wooden box was only made of ordinary pear blossom wood. The box was ordinary, but the contents inside were unusual.

A rosewood private seal engraved with Ning Guang's characters, a stack of land deeds, an emerald jade hairpin, and a letter at the bottom of the box.

"He asked me to give it to you." Song Xiao was as awkward as before, but the eyes he looked at Su Liu were a bit complicated, especially when he glanced at the wooden box in her hand, Ning Guang once again appeared in his mind. Find his scene.

"I was named the Marshal of An Guo, and I'm going to fight in Mobei soon. You take this box back for me and give it to Su Liu." Ning Guang handed a wooden box to him.

Song Xiao raised his eyebrows, squinted at the box he handed over, but didn't take it, and asked, "What is this?"

"All my belongings." Ning Guang looked very calm.

Song Xiao was startled, and looked at him like a madman: "Are you crazy? I don't seem to know you very well."

It means, we don't know each other well, if you give me something, aren't you afraid that I'll steal it for you?
"We really don't know each other well."

"Then you still..."

"But will you? Song Xiao, the most favored son of the Marquis of Anqing, the proud son of heaven, what do you want? Can you think highly of such a dead thing?" Ning Guang said calmly.

Well, who doesn’t like to listen to compliments? Song Xiao was a little proud, but he didn’t want Ning Guang to get what he wanted, so he deliberately said: “General, no one would think that there is too much money. The general has been fighting for many years. It’s not [-], I’m not short of silver, and I don’t mind having more silver.”

"A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. Song Xiao, you are someone I, Ning Guang, can trust. I can come to find you today, so I have to think about it. If you are the kind of person who is greedy for such a dead thing, I will Will come to find you to shoot yourself in the foot with a stone?"

Song Xiao was a little uncomfortable, coughed, and said, "I don't believe you if you don't compliment me, a great general can't find a useful person to give this stuff."

"I said, you are someone I can trust." Ning Guang lowered his eyelids.

Well, it's no fun talking to someone who's serious and serious.In the past few days when Ning Guang returned to Shangjing, he had something to do with the Guangning Hou Mansion, so he knew more or less about it.

Thinking that Ning Guang didn't have a trustworthy family member, so he came to find him, an outsider, to entrust this thing, and remembering how he ran against him in the past, Song Xiao couldn't help gloating, and said sarcastically: "That's right, the big Guang Ning The Hou Mansion is going to be inherited by a bastard son, and your father is also a weirdo, so it's a reason why you can't believe it."

Ning Guang narrowed his eyes, stood up, and said coldly, "Send it to her." After speaking, he turned and left regardless of whether Song Xiao should agree or not.

"Ning Zhenguang, do you know the idiom that Huaibi is guilty? You and Su Liuwei are married. If you give her this thing, it's the same as throwing her a hot potato? You're good. If it's short-lived, she A peasant girl who is no different from an orphan girl can hold the Guangning Marquis Mansion and guard this thing?" Song Xiao really didn't want to curse him, but he still wanted to make it clear whether he knew it or not, and put all his clothes on him. What does it mean to give the property to Su Liu?
Ning Guang was shocked, turned around, looked at Song Xiao and said, "If I am short-lived, please take care of her with the third son and protect her. Song Xiao, this is my debt to you from Ning Zhenguang." Yes, whether I'm here or not, I always owe you a favor." Saying that, he gave a military salute to Song Xiao in a solemn and dignified manner.

Song Xiao was startled, and avoided subconsciously. When he came back to his senses, Ning Guang had disappeared. He said carelessly, gnashing his teeth towards the empty room: "Silly, I knew this person had no good intentions." , This is hooking me into a trap, who the hell said that the soldier is straight, this damn is a lie at all, it's more or less scheming."

Use compliments, use military salutes, and create a little more atmosphere. The final purpose is to coax him to be Su Liu's backer. If something happens to Ning Guang in the future, he must protect Su Liu and inherit all his things safely. .

After hearing Song Xiao's words, Su Liu's nose became sour, and she pinched the box in her hand, her eyes were red.

How could she not know Ning Guang's intentions? Ning Guang entrusted Song Xiao to give these things to her, so why not find a queen for her?If he can't come back, these gold and silver treasures belong to Su Liu, and he will have no worries about eating and drinking in the future.He entrusted all his belongings to her, not to his father and relatives, he regarded Su Liu as the closest person!
Seeing her tears rolling in her eyes, Song Xiao coughed and said, "Don't worry too much, he is a well-known young general who has won countless battles and will come back this time."

"I'm not worried. If he doesn't come back, these things will all be mine." Su Liu said stiffly, but her heart hurt a lot, and she couldn't help but burst into tears. He cursed bitterly: "If you don't come back, I will take this huge sum of money and find a better, more handsome and responsible man than him to marry."

It sounded like he was scolding Ning Guang, but Song Xiao heard it, but why did he feel that these words were very sad, and looked at the sky silently, what happened to these two people?This battle hasn't started yet, but the drama of life and death has started first, but this drama is so uncomfortable.

Ning Guang, that bastard really wants to come back, otherwise, even if he digs him out, he will dig him out and beat him up hard, who told him to design him!

Er, Song Xiao, whose corpse are you whipping?Wouldn't it be nice not to have such a heavy taste?
