Qiu Yunfei bid farewell to everyone from Yihong Courtyard and strode straight to the front yard. Who knew that he had just bypassed the covered bridge in front of the gate and suddenly mixed garlic under his feet. If he hadn't hooked the corridor column quickly, he would have almost fallen.
"Master Qiu, you..."
The servant next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Qiu Yunfei raised his hand to avoid him, and waved at the opportunity: "This wine has some stamina today, it's okay, just let me rest here for a while."
Saying that, he leaned on the railing and closed his eyes.
Seeing this, the little servant was determined to ask for a bowl of sober soup for him, but he was afraid that he would accidentally fall into the water and he would not be able to rescue him in time.
Just as they were in a dilemma, suddenly Bianhe and Shaohong came over with an empty bucket, talking and laughing.
The little servant was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him: "Brother He, it's a coincidence that you guys are here, hurry up..."
"Look, look."
But before he could say it clearly, Bian Hexian smiled and pointed: "I just said that this kid is a dog's nose, but if you have a little bit of gold and precious things, you can't hide it from him!"
Sweeping the red next to him also smiled: "Look at you being so anxious, the three of us are on duty today, so Bianhe and I can still be short of your benefits?"
Saying that, he took out a small paper bag from his arms and threw it into the little servant's arms.
"This… "
The little servant hugged him subconsciously and glanced at it suspiciously, but he didn't have time to ponder what he was doing, so he hurriedly said, "No, I..."
"That's a lot."
However, Ban He's face immediately turned cold: "A good tribute tea is worth a few taels of silver. If you deduct too much, you will be held by others, but you won't be able to eat our good fruit!"
Sweeping Hong is also helping out: "Let's get a point from the corners and corners, just say that we are greedy and want to try something new, but when Second Master Bao knows about it, he won't say anything."
After a pause, it seemed that he was afraid that the little servant would be dissatisfied, and then raised his voice: "When you sell out, as long as you tell people that it was rewarded by our second master, I'm sure I won't lose you!"
"No!"
Ban He proudly shook off his sleeves and boasted with his thumb up: "These days, as long as the three characters of our Rongguo Mansion are stained, even a few pieces of rotten wood can be used as bronze servants, not to mention the tribute from Second Master Bao. Tea?"
"is not that right!"
The young servant on the opposite side also forgot about the business for a while, carefully put away the tea bag, and said in a frantic voice, "Qian'er came out of Zhang Chun's stool from our house, and somehow, it was pulled on our second master's head. Immediately, it was hyped up to a sky-high price, and was bought by a country rich man for eighty-five taels..."
Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw Bianhe and Saohong in front of them bending over and bowing respectfully:
"Your Majesty."
The little servant was shocked, and then he remembered his original intention, and hurriedly turned around and asked with a smirk, "Master Qiu, are you feeling better?"
"It's okay."
Qiu Yunfei raised his chin: "Master still has official business to deal with, let's go."
Having said that, he followed Liu Di to the front yard on his own.
The little servant looked at Bianhe and Saohong with a bitter face. Seeing that they were both glaring at each other, he had the will to explain a few words, but he didn't dare to leave Qiu Yunfei and ignore him. When I come back, I will tell you ', and I chase after him as if flying.
But he said that Qiu Yunfei walked forward with his hands behind his back, and he didn't travel far when he suddenly saw something covered in black in the flowerbed by the roadside, and when he looked closely, it was a dense layer of tea leaves.
Thinking of the conversation between the three little servants just now, I couldn't help but stop.
It just so happened that the little servant caught up from behind, and Qiu Yunfei pointed to the flowerbed and asked, "Why are all these fine tea leaves scattered in the flowerbed?"
"Huh."
The little servant first heard the word "tea", and his heart was agitated. Later, when Qiu Yunfei asked about those in the flower garden, it was a little more general, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "Isn't this the 'honey-burning deer's lips' just now? , that thing just came out with a fishy sweetness, it must be rolled in a good tea soup to get rid of the fishy smell and greasy, and then soaked in some tea fragrance..."
Having said that, he raised his finger and pointed to the flowerbed: "But the tea leaves that have been brushed with grease and honey can no longer be used, so they have to be used as flower fertilizer."
The tea leaves in the flower garden may weigh more than a pound!
If only a few servants hadn't brag about it, wouldn't this dish cost hundreds of thousands of taels? !
Rao was a playboy like Qiu Yunfei, and he couldn't help but sigh.
It was probably because of the color on his face that the young servant peeped at it, and explained with a smile: "It's just to entertain you today, otherwise our Second Master Bao is still very thrifty, unlike the eldest master. If you raise a few prostitutes, you will go out of the mountains of gold and silver..."
Halfway through, he suddenly woke up, hurriedly closed his mouth, and squeezed out a naive smile.
After all, he has been hanging out in the gate of the mansion all year round, so he naturally understands the truth of the misfortune coming out of his mouth, but because Qiu Yunfei heard the truth about the private deduction of the master's tea, he felt uneasy, so he would inevitably talk more.
However, Qiu Yunfei did not intend to ask in detail.
Besides, he was in charge of the Shuntian Mansion, and he was also the son of the deputy commander of the Wucheng Military and Horse Division. How could he not know what the eldest man in the Rongguo Mansion did
Speaking of which, it has only been more than half a year since the birth of the second prince. Although the voice of Yi Chu is growing, and even the concubine of the imperial concubine has taken the initiative to endorse the second prince, the Rong Kingdom has also expanded faster!
The eldest master Jia She and the minions, those deceitful and domineering acts, let's not talk about them first.
Even the most prudent second master, Jia Zheng, has been making frequent moves recently, writing to impeach all kinds of wrongdoing among the officials in the court, and even overshadowed a lot of censors for a while in the limelight.
Although this is not a crooked thing, the people who have offended and left behind are more troubles than Jia She's side!
There really needs to be something...
Shaking his head secretly, Qiu Yunfei stretched out his legs again and rushed to the front yard—father and mother get married, everyone cares about each other, and he should deal with the official affairs in the yamen first.
…
In the summer of the fifteenth year of Guangde, there was a great epidemic in Gyeonggi.
Those who are old and weak, and those who die are immeasurable.
By the Mid-Autumn Festival, the epidemic gradually eased.
…
August twenty-three.
In the south of Beijing, the autumn wind is rustling, rolling up a field of barren wormwood.
Under the roaring banner, Sun Shaozong sat on the back of a dark cloud and treading snow, looking over the heads of everyone, looking at the majestic city in the distance.
It's finally back!
If it weren't for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to lead the way, he would have liked to be able to gallop on a horse...
This is really what I want to do, and I just want to hurry up, when I see a horse galloping, and the people in front of the team stand up.
Before the horse's hoof fell to the ground, the knight had already shouted: "The concubine died of illness, and the world is in grief. All officials at all levels must change their mourning clothes at the inn before entering Beijing!"
Toffee disease...
The emperor's biological mother died
Sun Shaozong was still pondering what impact this matter would have on the competition for the storage seat, but the gray-bearded official of the Ministry of Rites next to him couldn't bear his temper and stepped forward to inquire.
"Dare to ask why the Empress Dowager died suddenly? When I left Beijing five days ago, I didn't hear that Empress Dowager was infected with the epidemic?"
The official who conveyed the letter did not hide it. Seeing Sun Shaozong staring at him, he even took the initiative to raise the tone.
He heard him say: "The concubine didn't contract the epidemic, it was the second prince who contracted the epidemic. After the second prince passed away, the concubine was so sad that she passed away."
The second prince is also dead
Sun Shaozong suddenly felt a surge of inspiration, and his mind was full of four words:
oh~
I hit it!
