Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 201: Transmigrated into a Prodigal Old Duke (3)

Unexpectedly, Ning Ning was so fast, walking very fast in front with a cane, and he couldn't catch up with her!

By the time he finally arrived at the warehouse, Ning Ning had already intercepted the thing, opened the red cloth covering it, and was standing around admiring it.

The housekeeper led a few servants to stand nearby as punishment. When they saw Ning Rongyi coming, they hurriedly looked at him for help, but Ning Ning caught it immediately.

"Diao Nu! What are you looking at him for? Is he trying to alienate the relationship between us father and son?"

"Master, I dare not!"

"Humph, I think you are very bold. You dare not report such a treasure to me. I must sell you out today!"

"No, no, this is not me... Master, please save me!"

Ning Rongyi: ...Wait, I haven’t caught my breath yet!

He took a few more breaths and was finally able to speak normally, "Dad, don't blame him. It was his son who didn't let him tell anyone. This..."

"Oh I see!"

Ning Ning suddenly smiled happily, "You didn't let them tell me, you must want to give Dad a surprise! Oh, you are worthy of being my son, you are really a filial and thoughtful person!"

He knocked on the top-grade golden nanmu wrapped in red cloth with his hands. The sound was like the tinkling of gold and jade. It was indeed a rare treasure.

The original body had seen many good things in his life, but Ning Ning searched through his memories and found that he had never seen such good coffin materials!

The ancients attached great importance to posthumous affairs. If such a rare item was given to someone, not only would others not think it was unlucky, but instead would regard it as a rare thoughtful gesture.

But after Ning Rongyi heard what he said, he became completely numb.

"Dad, you misunderstood. I didn't..."

"no?"

Ning Ning narrowed her eyes, "Not for me? Then who are you giving it to? Is there someone in your heart who is more worthy of filial piety than me as a father? I gave birth to you and raised you, isn't it time for you to be filial to me? Someone, bring me a pen and ink, I want to write a memorial! I want to go to the palace to see the emperor!"

"Dad, I beg you, don't tell anyone about this! This coffin is for you. What I meant just now was that this matter should not be publicized!"

Ning Ning must not be allowed to submit a memorial, otherwise what would he say when the court questioned him? !

Are you saying that this is dedicated to the second prince?

Ning Ning's sadness turned into joy in an instant, "Well, that's more like it. I was saying, if this coffin isn't for me, who else can it be given to! Are you guys planning to die before me?"

Ning Rongyi: ...Not only did you take such a good thing, but you also cursed me!

"But Dad, I haven't paid the money for this coffin yet. Also, this coffin was transported a long way, so I have to give some money as a reward!"

Ning Rongyi's brain was quick. Since the coffin had been "occupied" by Ning Ning, he would take the opportunity to get some money from Ning Ning.

Ning Ning thought for a moment and said, "You are right. We should give them more reward money. In this case, I see there are 100,000 taels of silver in this box. I will give them the money to buy funeral supplies. And these two piles of floating brocade will be given to them as reward money!"

what? !

Ning Rongyi almost fainted. The box was placed in the warehouse. It contained public money!

It would be fine if you were stingy, but you're also spending money lavishly. What on earth do you want to do?

"Dad, why are you using the public funds to buy funeral supplies?"

"Shouldn't it be paid out publicly? The little money I have is all my savings. Are you thinking about it too?"

Ning Rongyi: ...You already have a coffin, why do you need a coffin fund?

But Ning Ning waved her hand generously, "It's settled. I'm your father, you have to listen to me in everything! Why are you standing at the door while you're in mourning? Come in and talk!"

Ning Shouxiao heard the noise and was worried that there was something wrong with the coffin, so he rushed over to check.

But he was too late, Ning Ning had already made the decision.

As he was peeking around, Ning Ning happened to see him, called him in, and then took out 100,000 taels of silver from the warehouse and gave it to him.

"I just checked and there are still quite a few banknotes in our storeroom. This is from Grandpa, take it! You've always wanted to do business, right? Here you go, use it as capital! By the way, you are my precious grandson, you can't be wronged, is this 100,000 taels enough?"

"Enough—or not enough?"

Ning Shouxiao: ...Happiness comes too suddenly!

He was stunned by the 100,000 taels and was about to say it was enough, but then he thought, is he stupid? Who would complain about having too much money? So he changed his words.

Ning Ning was also very understanding, "Then I'll give you another 100,000 taels. Take it and do something good for your parents to see!"

"Hey! I will definitely work hard! Grandpa, I have wronged you. I just realized today that you are the only one who loves me the most, wuwu..."

He threw himself into Ning Ning's arms and started crying. Ning Ning touched his head, tears welling up in her eyes as well. "Silly child, you are my grandpa's grandson. If I don't love you, who will I love?"

When Ning Rongyi saw this scene of deep affection between grandparents and grandchildren, he felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest and he could hardly breathe.

"Dad, we are a noble family, how can we let him do business?"

"Why not? The court has not issued an express ban on nobles doing business! It's just that the nobles can't let go of their status and put themselves in a rigid position! I've come to terms with it now. We have the conditions in our house. Let Shouxiao do whatever he wants!"

The nobles of this dynasty were high and mighty and viewed business as a lowly profession. It was okay to buy a few shops and rent them out, but doing business personally was shameful.

Ning Shouxiao found doing business easy and was very interested in it. However, his interest was "ruthlessly suppressed" by Ning Rongyi, which made him often shake his head and feel that he was born at the wrong time and had talents but was unable to display them.

Today, I got Ning Ning's permission and some money, and I was so happy that my mouth was about to stretch out to the back of my head!

Ning Rongyi's thoughts had been distracted by Ning Ning. He had no time to think about the funeral supplies and was only concerned with Ning Shouxiao's business.

"No! This is really a disgrace to our family. I cannot agree to it!"
