Chapter 337 Guanghe Garden
Miao Jiu looked at Si Ning: "We and An Ning won't go. It's too chaotic in crowded places. I'll stay at home with An Ning."
"I still want to go to the opera, but you are planning to stop me from going out." Si Ning rolled his eyes at him.
"If you want to listen to opera, I will ask the troupe to come back and perform for you. There are too many people in the theater, what if they accidentally bump into you?" Miao Jiu would never agree anyway.
"What's the point of listening to an opera alone? It should be lively. I want to go." Si Ning looked at him.
"Where are you going?" Juanjuan's little face was covered in sweat as she came over.
Si Ning took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her face: "We said we were going to the theater to watch a play, but your uncle wouldn't let me go because he was afraid someone would bump into me."
Juanjuan looked down at her belly, reached out and touched it, and could feel the baby inside gently patting her little hand.
Her face was full of smiles: "Uncle, let aunt go! My brothers also want to go, no one will bump into aunt."
Seeing both of them looking at him, Miao Jiu could only compromise: "Okay, okay, go, go, let's go to the headquarters!"
"Juanjuan, go change your clothes. We have to attend Uncle San's class later." Si Jinchen called her from not far away.
"Here I come!" Juanjuan turned around and ran away.
The next afternoon, Guanghe Garden.
This is the largest theater in Beiyang City, with two floors.
Old Man Cai had been waiting at the door with his wife, Old Madam Cai, long ago.
"Mrs. Si, what have you been busy with recently? I can't even invite you to play cards." Mrs. Cai greeted Mrs. Si with a smile.
"My daughter An Ning is pregnant, so she is a bit busy." Old Madam Si and the others kept the fact that Si Ning was pregnant a secret.
Basically, after her belly became more obvious, she was no longer allowed to go out.
So no one knew she was pregnant.
"Really? That's such a happy event." Old Madam Cai smiled and held her hand.
Miao Jiu helped Si Ning get out of the car and walked towards them.
"How many months has it been? Is she about to give birth?" Old Madam Cai felt incredible when she looked at her belly.
"It will take some time." Madam Si did not say it clearly.
It’s not surprising that Mr. Cai didn’t see Siming. The newspaper had already reported that there were bandits outside the city recently, and Siming led his troops out of the city to suppress the bandits.
"Since everyone is here, please come in!"
Everyone followed them up to the private room on the second floor.
This place is facing the stage downstairs, so you can see the stage clearly.
After they sat down, someone came up and handed a booklet to Mr. Cai: "Boss Cai, which play do you want to order today?"
Boss Cai took the booklet and handed it to Madam Si: "Madam Si, come here."
Old Madam Si looked at the people around her and, remembering that two children had come together, she chose "Investiture of the Gods", a joint play.
She asked and chose this one, and asked them to start with the first one.
The people in the theater smiled and nodded. Today, Boss Cai had booked the show, so the audience on the stage could only watch whatever they ordered.
But everyone was also very happy because it was free to watch the show today, even the tea was free.
The opening gong and drum performance immediately attracted the attention of the two children.
Old Madam Cai and Old Madam Si chatted while watching the play on the stage.
Occasionally he would answer questions that the two children didn't understand, which made it quite lively.
Si Ning and the others also watched with great interest.
"Second Master Si." Old man Cai spoke first.
Si Tian withdrew his gaze from the stage and said, "If Mr. Cai has something to say, just speak up."
"Mr. Si is a sensible man, so I won't beat around the bush. I just want to buy some wheat seeds from you." said Old Man Cai.
"This is the first time we've tried growing this wheat seed. I'm not sure if the yield will be this high after I sell it to you. If it's the same as before, you'll definitely resent me."
Si Tian was telling the truth, and everyone who comes now will say the same thing.
Old Man Cai also thought about this problem: "Second Master, since I came to you to buy it, I will accept the loss myself and will definitely not blame you."
"Of course, you know I have a flour mill. If you want to process your wheat into flour, I can do it for you for free, anytime."
"Mr. Cai, you will suffer a great loss if you do this. If our wheat seeds don't bring you high yields, won't you have to pay us to process the wheat?" Si Tian smiled faintly.
Old Man Cai waved his hand and said, "It is an honor for my Cai family to be able to do something for Governor Si and Beiyang City."
He is not stupid. The Zhang family and the Qian family were originally not as wealthy as his family, but just because they took advantage of the Si family, their assets are almost surpassing theirs.
If he continues to be the same as before, he will probably have no place in Beiyang City in the future.
In fact, buying wheat seeds today was just an excuse, and the real purpose was to sell himself well in front of the Si family.
They also want to do business in umbrellas, raincoats, milk tea and cosmetics.
Everyone in Beiyang City knows that the Si family's businesses are exported overseas, and many foreigners come here to buy things and sell them.
Who wouldn’t be jealous, but the key is that no one can get on this line.
Now that he has the chance, he must seize it.
Si Tian naturally understood that his purpose was not the wheat seeds, but to use these wheat seeds to get in touch with the Si family.
"Mr. Cai, do you think this will work? I'll give you two acres of land with this year's wheat seeds. You can try to grow some first."
"These two acres of wheat seeds are a gift. Just treat it as an experiment for me. I also want to see if this wheat seed can still produce such a high yield."
"If the yield is high, how about I sell you all the wheat seeds you need for your land after next year's harvest?"
Old Man Cai smiled and nodded: "Of course there is no problem. I will just treat it as an experiment for Master Si."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Cai." Si Tian smiled and took a sip of tea.
"Mr. Si, I wonder if you still need a way to sell the things your family is producing now?" Old Man Cai said very tactfully.
"Of course, the more opportunities there are, the better. Mr. Cai, do you have any ideas?" Si Tian turned to look at him.
"Now in Beiyang City, everyone knows that the Si family's business is very popular. Naturally, they have some ideas." Mr. Cai did not hide his thoughts.
"Since Mr. Cai is interested, why don't we discuss it in detail tomorrow and see which business you are interested in." Si Tian did not refuse.
"Okay, okay. Then I will go to your house in person tomorrow to discuss it in detail with Mr. Si." Old Man Cai nodded happily in agreement.
The two of them ended their conversation and began to watch the opera on the stage seriously.
Many people in the seats downstairs and some seats upstairs glanced towards the box they were in.
"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Several people talked in the corner.
"You're not mistaken. Si Ning is indeed pregnant. It looks like she's about to give birth." A man dressed as a servant said in a low voice.
"Aren't Miao Jiu and Si Ning infertile? What's going on now that they're pregnant?" A man clenched his fists.
