Entering July, Bianjing has reached the hottest time, but for those who hold a lot of salt and tea, this is more worrying than the weather.
In the mansion of King Tang in Bianjing, a large number of ice cubes were placed in the study room, which could not relieve the rising heat.
"How much money do we have?" Chen Xi looked at the ledger and asked with a slightly gloomy expression.
"There are still a million or so." The steward lowered his head and replied.
"Well, let's go with their ratio, this year's rice will be harvested earlier."
"Girl, what about those tea and salt bottles? They can't be picked up now." The steward slightly raised his head and glanced at Chen Xi, before asking.
"Leave it to the lord, it is the lord who should come down, and I want the lord to go to the Zhengshitang." Chen Xi threw away the account book, stood up very irritatedly, walked around a few times, and said: "Go to the Jiaoyin shop to lower the price." Sell half of it."
All the stewards in the room retreated, and a servant girl came in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge. She glanced at the little servant girl who was standing timidly at the side, smiled considerately, and said, "Miss, have some porridge."
Chen Xi sat on the chair, took off the veil and threw it aside, let out a long breath. Tang Wang, that pig, told him again and again, don’t pick up so many, he just didn’t listen, and now he’s fine, with millions of leads in his hand, but he can’t pick up the goods! No matter what happens this time, he will lose millions of pens! And the old man at home didn't know why he was so excited, such a good opportunity to call off his marriage with Zhao Yinfeng! Nothing goes my way...
"Xia He, I remember that at this time, the lotus flowers in An Guogong's mansion were blooming beautifully, right?" Xia He was taken aback by Chen Xi's sudden question, and then replied: "Yes, but now that mansion is Dingguo I heard that Mrs. Yang hasn't come out since she moved in."
"Really? Didn't you still say that Cheng Jia lived with her a few days ago?"
"It lives in a separate courtyard, where Mr. Han lives."
"Give her the next post and see when it's convenient for her. I'll go and see the lotus."
"Xia He is just right, can we share it?" Ling Qingyu put down the post, turned his head and asked, "Yan Qi, who is this Miss Chen?"
"People from the Chen family in Yingchuan, their father is the servant of Zhengsanpin sect. The younger sister's marriage to Zhao Yinfeng retired after the Zhao family's defeat. The relationship with Tang Wang is very delicate. She has no status, but lives in Tang Wang. In the palace in Bianjing, she is in charge of the internal affairs of the palace, and also manages the property under the name of Tang Wang, and she opened the Tianyi Building." Yan Qi gently waving a fan behind her head while talking.
Ling Qingyu looked at the lake. The lotus in the lake had already bloomed halfway up the lake, and the green lotus leaves lined the graceful flowers. The breeze blew up, bringing a dark fragrance all over the lake.
"Xia He is just right. I heard that the scenery here is the best in Bianjing." Ling Qingyu sighed, only Cheng Jia and Wang Xuanzhi visited Bianjing after so long, but it is understandable that Su Wanyun is going to get married soon, and her family will definitely I won't let her out, and the rest of you, I'm afraid it won't be easy to come over, right
"Do you agree with her coming?" Yan Qi picked up the post and asked.
"Wouldn't her family talk about this person's relationship with King Tang?" Ling Qingyu asked.
"It is said that Mr. Chen has severed the father-daughter relationship with her. This person has a bad reputation in Bianjing, and basically has no communication with those wives." Yan Qi flipped the faintly scented post in his hand, and said.
"So, let's say no for the time being. I'm still in a sad state, so I don't have the mood to look at the lotus. Besides, we can't get involved with other forces yet."
"Okay!" Yan Qi threw the post to Ying Shisan, and said, "Let's just say Madam is sick in bed, when she recovers, I will sweep the couch to welcome you."
Ling Qingyu chuckled lightly, and said, "I'm seriously ill in bed, by the way, what's going on with Cheng Jia?"
"We can't enter Cheng's mansion right now, but there's no news yet, so he probably didn't say anything?" Yan Qi replied after a moment of thought. According to the doctor, Cheng Jia was seriously ill this time, and he was bedridden for several days without beating him.
"Well, I have to tell Ding Dong, be prepared to retreat at any time, arrange the boat, those shopkeepers and family members, if something happens, we can't let them suffer." Ling Qingyu leaned back slightly, leaning on the chest behind ,road.
Yan Qi wrapped his hands around her waist, put his head on her shoulders, and said: "Okay!" If something really happens, if it is really impossible to send her away at that time, then let's die together.
The cold touch of her fingers woke Cheng Jia up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yaoyue's panicked face. She looked down and saw her hands were on her clothes strings. Looking back at her, her eyes There is some depth in it.
"My lord, it's the master, the master wants the servants to come." Yaoyue blushed and said.
Cheng Jia's eyes were a little erratic. In the year when he won the first prize, his father decided to make a servant girl next to his aunt to be his housekeeper. Later, he found out that the maid was actually a spy that his aunt let him in. He rushed out and asked the maids in his room to be the housekeepers, but he was not interested in this kind of thing at that time, and he didn't pay attention to those maids. He didn't know until that time, that time**** **** is such a happy thing.
Seeing that Cheng Jia didn't move, Yao Yue plucked up the courage to untie the belt, and at the same time carefully looked at Cheng Jia. Everyone in the house knew that the young master had a cleanliness habit, and that the young master was not good at such housework. All the maids in the house were kicked out of the yard within a short period of time, and there was not even a single maid in the past two years, so that the servants passed it on secretly, did the young master break his sleeve
Those fingers were cold and greasy, crawling on his body like a caterpillar. When Yaoyue pulled his clothes away and caressed his skin gently, Cheng Jia couldn't bear it anymore and pushed him away. Open, leaned on the bed and vomited.
"My lord!" Shuan, who had been peeking outside, rushed in, waved his hands at Yaoyue who was huddled at the foot of the bed in fright, telling her to leave quickly, while picking up a tea bowl to rinse Cheng Jia's mouth.
Can such a beautiful woman as Yaoyue not do it? The book case sighed inwardly, and after Cheng Jia rinsed his mouth, he hurriedly cleaned it up. Seeing that what Cheng Jia spit out was nothing but bitterness, his heart darkened again. These days I just eat gruel, there is still something to vomit.
"Book case, get ready, I'm going to court." Cheng Jia ordered, leaning against the head of the bed and gasping for a few times.
"Young master! Why are you going to court like this? Didn't the master ask for leave for you?" Shu An was surprised.
"I have something to do tomorrow, I must go," Cheng Jia looked at the sky outside, pointed at the table and said, "Bring me the medicine."
The book case was taken aback for a moment, then remembered the medicines that Han Bian had sent, and hurried over to get the medicine bag out, saying: "Yes, even the imperial physician Xu said this is the best medicine." At that time, the imperial physician Xu repeatedly said Asked where the medicine came from, with such a good medicine, Cheng Jia's illness must be fine, but unfortunately, the young master has been refusing to take it.
Cheng Jia took the pill and swallowed one. The court will decide the punishment for this battle tomorrow morning, so he will listen to it no matter what. The reward for Heishuiguan was proposed by the second prince in a hurry. The original intention of the Zhengshitang was to confuse the view and use military exploits to cover up the failure and the military expenditure of 30 million yuan. No reason was written, only an inexplicable result, and the defeat of the Xinjun and Zhaojiajun was never mentioned, so that the people of the country did not know why Yang Zhao was posthumously named Dingguo Gong, and kept praising Zhengshitang and Your Majesty, the court is really kind to give such a high reward just for death in battle. Those generals who were defeated also stayed at home and did not receive any punishment. It was not that the Zhengshitang did not want to punish them, but that once they were punished, they would naturally have to investigate the cause of the war, including the 30 million military expenditures. This is what the Zhengshitang is unwilling to face. But now he has picked out all these, so tomorrow he must go and see what the result will be.
"My lord, can I bring you a bowl of porridge?" Shuan asked cautiously, seeing Cheng Jia nodding, he hurriedly signaled to the painting case standing at the door.
In the morning court on July 6th, not only Cheng Jia paid attention, but many people also paid attention.
In Zhen Guogong's mansion, Zhao Mingliang kept circling outside the study, looking at the silhouettes of the old man and Zhao Yinfeng on the window, wishing to rush in and listen to what they had to say.
When Zhao Yinfeng walked out of the study, what he saw was Zhao Mingliang's anxious look, which was rare to see, although when he saw him, he immediately returned to the calm and calm gentleman.
There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, Zhao Yinfeng left without saying hello, 30 million guan, Zhao Mingliang swallowed 15 million guan privately this time, and returned a little money to the Ministry of War as Zhao Yinfeng The sincerity of the Zhao family was shown to the Zhengshitang, just because he swallowed the 15 million guan, so even if he let so many people go to death, can the Zhao family be forgiven for such a big defeat for the first time? Just like this person, you still need my help? Grandfather, what do you think of me
Zhao Mingliang hesitated for a while, but still walked into the study, and after bowing his hands and saluting, he stood in front of the old man.
"Has the money been collected?" Mr. Zhao looked up at him and asked.
"Yes, the banknotes are here. I want them to hide the copper coins and silver first." Zhao Mingliang respectfully brought a stack of banknotes to the old man with both hands.
"You can take care of this. I will hand over the war affairs to Yinfeng. Tomorrow morning, you should apologize first. You don't have any position. It is impossible for you to take your title. The most you can do is to reprimand you." Looking at Zhao Mingliang The old man put on a stern face that is rare to see, and said: "I decided to hand over the Zhao family's property to you this time. I didn't want you to be an official. This Zhou Dynasty is almost done. Add more heat, the timing is almost there, with Yinfeng to conquer the world for you, what are you afraid of?"
But I want to prove to you that even in the battlefield, I am stronger than Zhao Yinfeng! Although thinking so in his heart, Zhao Mingliang said respectfully: "The grandson knows, and he will definitely cooperate with the third brother."
"When you achieve great success, you can do whatever you want with him." Mr. Zhao's words made Zhao Mingliang's eyes light up.
