The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 162
But Xie Shen didn't stop and went straight to Ning Mansion, and led by the door, walked through many courtyards to the back garden of Ning Mansion.

Member Ning was pruning the flowers and plants on his own, and he put down the pruning clippers and turned around after hearing the report from the door that Mr. Xie had arrived.

"Mr. Xie's actions are really extraordinary. After the West Lake Gathering, Yuyao Xianming's reputation will probably spread throughout Hangzhou."

Anyone can say this, but only Ning Yi said it with a hint of incomprehensible meaning.

Although Xie Shen and Ning Yi are now in a cooperative relationship, this relationship is delicate. In other words, Xie Shen is not sure how much Ning Yi values ​​him.

After Xiao Ji vomited blood and passed out, the Shihlin circles would definitely praise how Xie Shen beat the crowd in the Ya Ji.

For Xie Shen, the benefits are obvious. It is possible for Yuyao Xianming to become famous in one fell swoop, and even directly replace Ningbo Xiangshan Tea.

But the disadvantages are also obvious.

The greater the fame of Yuyao Xianming, the greater the threat to Qiantang Longjing, and the colder and alienated Ning Yi's attitude towards him.

When Yuyao Xianming became so famous that Ning Yi couldn't bear it, maybe he would become another He Chang.

Of course, for now, Xie Shen doesn't have to worry about these things.

"Thanks to Ning Yuanwai taking care of him, otherwise Xie would not be able to steal the limelight."

Xie Shen cupped his hands at Ning Yi, and said calmly.

He didn't know the purpose of Ning Yi's coming to him.But judging from Ning Yi's attitude, he didn't seem to care that he vomited blood and fainted the talented Ningbo scholar Xiao Jiqi.So why did he call himself here?

"Mr. Xie, please tell me, can this Yushan grow Longjing?"

Ning Yi's question really surprised Xie Shen.

Juyu Mountain is the birthplace of Yuyao Xianming, but Ning Yi asked if it is suitable for planting Longjing. Is this a test or is it really intentional?
You must know that although Longjing tea is known as Qiantang Longjing, the planting area has been expanded again and again, and it is not limited to the generation of West Lake.But Xie Shen has never heard that tea can be counted as Longjing even if it is not grown in Hangzhou.

Although Yuyao is not far from Hangzhou, the climate is not the same, and the taste of the tea grown will be different.

Oranges grown in Huaibei are trifoliate oranges, and the taste of the tea is the taste of the mouth. If the taste is skewed, should it be Qiantang Longjing or Yuyao Xianming?
"Member Ning's question is a bit tricky, and Xie can't answer it for a while. If Yuan Ning wants to try it, he can try to plant a few tea trees."

Xie Shen answered very cleverly, but this is equivalent to not answering anything.

A trace of praise flashed across Ning Yi's eyebrows, and he said immediately: "This matter can be discussed again. I invite you here today to discuss something with you."

Xie Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief.Had Ning Yi continued to ask just now, he really didn't know how to answer.

"Member Ning, please speak frankly, Xie is all ears."

Ning Yi nodded and said, "Last time you said you wanted to cooperate with me, but you haven't appointed anyone to be the shopkeeper. I just want to ask you who you plan to choose."

Xie Shen suddenly realized.He really didn't explain clearly when he left in a hurry last time.As a talented scholar, of course he couldn't run a tea shop on the bright side, but Ning Yuanwai was very considerate.

"Xie's eldest brother is the perfect shopkeeper."

After thinking about it, Xie Shen decided to let his eldest brother go back to his old job.

Now it is a foregone conclusion that Yuyao Xianming will enter Hangzhou, and the profit is far from comparable to before, so it is still necessary to distinguish between primary and secondary.As for the bookstore, you can think of a way. If you really can't do it, you can just do it as a shopkeeper and get a dividend.

"Brothers work together to cut gold, you are a good candidate."

Ning Yi nodded in satisfaction and said: "In this case, you should discuss it with your brother after you return to Yuyao. The old man in the chamber of commerce will greet you in advance, and the old man happens to have a vacant shop, so you can directly ask your brother to take it with you. Just come to Hangzhou with money and rent a shop."

Unexpectedly, Yuan Ning thought so "thoughtfully", and Xie Shen couldn't take it easy, so he had no choice but to agree.

"That's why I thank Officer Ning in advance."

"Doing business is the same as taking the imperial examinations for you scholars. The further you go, the narrower the road. Once you succeed, your bones will dry up, and there are very few who can really achieve great success."

Member Wai Ning spoke in a calm manner, and seeing Xie Shen's silence, he sighed: "You are very smart, not to mention the number one among the young people I have met, but also the second. If I have a person like you What a wonderful son!"

Xie Shen felt awkward listening, coughed and said, "Why, does Ning have no children under his knees?"

Ning Yi shook his head, and his voice was full of sorrow: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I don't know what evil I did in my previous life. I'm nearly sixty years old but I have no children. My husband and wife left early, and they married Qifang one after another. The concubine's room also failed to add a child. This is also the biggest regret of this old man's life!"

Xie Shen only felt miserable when he heard it.

There are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is having no descendants.This concept is rooted in the hearts of the people of Ming Dynasty.

Ning Yuanwai is now the president of the Hangzhou Tea Chamber of Commerce. He is rich but has no heirs.

After Ning Yuanwai's hundred years, no one will inherit this Nuoda's family business, isn't it all for naught?
Therefore, the more money Ning earned, the greater his achievements, and the greater the ridicule he gained.

Xie Shen noticed that Officer Ning was looking at him with unusual eyes, so he couldn't help becoming vigilant.

This is no longer just an attitude that should be had between partners, Xie Shenruo realized something based on what Ning Yuanwai said before.

Does Ning Yuanwai want to accept him as his son-in-law?
It is said that a son-in-law is a half-son, which is still the case for ordinary families, not to mention that Ning has no children and is eager to find someone to take care of the family business.Otherwise, after a hundred years, do you expect one of the daughters to be able to support the family business?

"If Mr. Xie comes to Hangzhou in the future, he can live in the old man's house directly, and we can talk a lot."

Hearing this, Xie Shen confirmed his guess even more.You can talk at any time, why do you have to live in Ningfu.This is obviously to create opportunities for his daughter to get along!Of course, it is also convenient for Ning Yuanwai to observe Xie Shen at a close distance!

This Ning member must have moved his mind to summon a son-in-law, and it is very likely that he is the son-in-law.
But this Ning member has seven concubines, and I don't know how many daughters he should have. He won't come to an audition, right?
Xie Shen didn't know why he was so lucky, first Xu Guan and Xu Shilang came to Yuyao from Songjiang Mansion to pick a son-in-law, and then Ning Yuanwai repeatedly hinted that he almost pierced a layer of window paper.

Could it be, could it be that the Taoist fortune-teller Xie Shen met by the West Lake did a good job, that Xie Shen was destined to have a peach blossom catastrophe?
Xie Shen had no choice but to evade, "Yuanwai Ning is too polite, but after returning to Yuyao, Xie is expected to concentrate on his studies, and he will not come back to Hangzhou until two years after the provincial examination."
