"Look again, my lord, this is the Ye family's Qingyun brocade, and this is also the Shen family's Qianqiu satin, these two ......" Han Baichuan wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhang Liu glanced at it, and saw the doorway, after all, he was a person from the Internal Affairs Bureau, how could he not see that this Qianqiu satin was the same as Qingyun brocade after a long time in his hand?

"This ......" Zhang Liu looked at Han Baichuan, there was already a little unhappiness in his eyes, he came on behalf of the emperor, and naturally he didn't want this imperial merchant to fall into the hands of the Shen family.

Is this Han Baichuan going against himself?

Just thinking about it, Han Baichuan here ran into Zhang Liu without standing firmly, and the teacup in Zhang Liu's unsteady hand was spilled, and it happened to be sprinkled on the two satins.

And it was at this moment of kung fu that the Qianqiu satin, which was originally dominant, turned out to be discolored.

And almost instantaneously, Zhang Liu reacted, "Bang!", and the cup in his hand fell to the ground.

"The bold Shen family actually used this kind of unpopular silk to deceive our family and deceive the emperor! Hmph! When our family returns to Beijing to report to His Majesty the Emperor, we will take it again!" Zhang Liu glanced at Han Baichuan, "This year's imperial merchant is the Ye family." When the rain stops, our family will go to Yefu to convey it in person. ”

"Yes, my lord. Han Baichuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and it was finally over.

The subordinate carried the brocade out of the door, and Han Baichuan was about to say goodbye, but was intercepted by Zhang Liu, "Lord Han." ”

Han Baichuan's footsteps paused, and his heart tightened and began to thump, "Xia Guan is here, I don't know what the adults command?"

"Lord Han is a smart person, our family doesn't beat around the bush, our family just wants to know who relieved His Majesty the Emperor's worries. ”

"This ...... The adult is wise, and he is indeed not a subordinate official. ”

"Lord Han, but it doesn't hurt to say, our family's mouth is tight. ”

"My lord misunderstood, Xia Guan didn't mean this, it's just that this person has a special identity, and Xia Guan is afraid of ......" Han Baichuan was a little entangled, because since that day, Mrs. Ye began to call herself sick, and the people she sent did not meet her, but the kid from the Ye family was very active, Han Baichuan was not sure if this method was Liu Ruoshui, that is, Mrs. Ye thought.

However, if it was that kid, Han Baichuan was a little incredulous.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, the heavenly family has a broad heart, and those who have this heart will be the talent of my Great Yan pillars, and it's too late to be happy. Zhang Liu's words can be said to have given Han Baichuan a reassurance.

"It's Mrs. Ye. ”

Luoyang looked patiently, but he was startled by a sudden prompt, and then a voice next to him appeared,

"In other words, this year's Shen family can be described as a disaster.

In the middle of May, a heavy rain led to thunder, split the warehouse, the downpour did not take half an hour to destroy 10,000 pieces of cloth completely, not only that, the 10,000 pieces of cloth as if they were discussed at the same time decolorized, all kinds of pigments mixed in the water, Hangzhou city is really the first time to see the colorful water.

Another one, also because of the decolorization of the cloth, this year's imperial merchants fell on the head of the Ye family.

The old lady of the Shen family was so angry that she vomited blood and fainted.

That's 10,000 pieces of cloth, more than 100,000 taels of silver! Old lady Shen was heartbroken, and complained in her heart about why her son wanted to learn other people's techniques, and on the other hand, she complained that the Ye family actually calculated them, and actually destroyed his own method of ten pieces of cloth and wanted to destroy his Shen family's 10,000 pieces of cloth.

Really, alas!"

Luoyang: "......"

Luoyang looked around for weapons, wanting to knock out this system that appeared from time to time, but Lu Xiunian smiled bitterly and held himself down,

"What's the hurry? Look at it, how can you inherit the family business of Nanuoda?"

Luo Yang pursed the corners of his lips, not that he thought of the business, but that the next thing was enough to attract him.

"Evil!" Before the old lady Shen fainted, she looked at her son and hated iron but not steel.

And Master Shen was also full of remorse, but he also remembered the Ye family in his heart.

The rainy season in Jiangnan began, and the teahouse and wine shop gathered gossiping, and the matter of the imperial merchant became the biggest talking point.

"I said, this Shen family just lifted a stone and hit themselves in the foot, I heard that if the Shen family didn't resign the two workers who were dug from the Ye family, maybe they would have seen the plan of the Ye family. It's a pity that the Ye family kid only used an empty city plan to defeat the Shen family's army!"

"No, isn't it Mrs. Ye who made the idea? How did you become a kid of the Ye family?" asked the man in a red robe suspiciously.

"You don't know this, Mrs. Ye is also a strange woman, born in a scholarly family, but she has a good calculation, and her business can be described as one of the best people in Hangzhou, not only that, but also has a unique means in raising children. It is our well-known strictness in the city of Hangzhou, the little master of the Ye family began to read and write at the age of three, knew a thousand words at the age of five, and was already familiar with ancient and modern history at the age of six. It can be described as talented. ”

"His mother controls the Ye family's business in Hangzhou, and the young master Ye often participates in business matters, and I heard that many of the Ye family's businesses have been in the hands of the young master. ”

"Yes, yes. The other person immediately chimed in, "I heard from the subordinates of the Ye Mansion, on the day that Master Ye came back from other places, Young Master Ye said that he would send Master Ye tens of thousands of taels of snowflake silver, and sure enough, the next day the rain cleared, and the Qin messenger sent by the imperial court and the prefect went to Ye's house and sent a deposit of tens of thousands of taels. ”

"Really?" the man in red smiled, "But didn't the Shen family lose 10,000 pieces of cloth because it rained and the warehouse was struck by lightning?"

"How else to say that the Shen family is self-inflicted? That's 10,000 pieces of cloth, if it's an ordinary dyeing method, even if it's rained, it won't lose and fade if it's sunburned, if he doesn't steal other people's crafts, how could he let Young Master Ye put one and destroy 10,000 pieces of cloth with ten pieces of cloth?"

"Oh, that's the case~" The man in red was thoughtful, with a smile in his eyes.

And just when everyone was chatting in the teahouse, Hangzhou Shen Mansion ushered in an unexpected guest.

"Who?" Master Shen in the study stood up from the chair suddenly, and the housekeeper who came to report was stunned, looking at Master Shen's appearance of wanting to eat people, he swallowed his saliva, "Ye Luo, the little master of the Ye family." ”

Master Shen's face suddenly turned green, "This yellow-mouthed child, the milk smell has not dried up, and now he dares to come to my Shen family!"

"That, it's raining outside, and Young Master Ye is still waiting outside the mansion...... "Although it is a little difficult to speak, but the person outside is a child after all, and it is not good if he is sick."

"Then let him wait, I want to see what other waves he can make!" Master Shen is really angry, his father is angry and vomits blood, and it will be uncomfortable for anyone to put this matter.

The housekeeper looked at the old man of the Shen family, who was pale, and silently withdrew.

walked all the way to the gate of the Shen Mansion, looking at the little boy standing in the rain, he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.

"Little master, my master is busy and has no time to meet the little master, please go back. ”

The housekeeper is nearly half a hundred years old, and he can be regarded as a person with children and grandchildren, although the person in front of him has done something that makes the master's family unhappy, but after all, he is a child.

"Thank you, uncle, Luo'er is going to the academy in a few days, not in Hangzhou City. The mother said that if she couldn't ask Uncle Shen for forgiveness, then Luo'er wouldn't have to go home. Ye Luo, who originally had a calm face, was a little depressed in the end.

The butler's heart suddenly softened, "Then you go to the door and wait, what if it's cold in the rain?"

"No need Uncle, since Luo'er came to apologize, he wanted Uncle Shen to see Luo'er's sincere heart, so why not rain on the field?" Xiao Tong said with a smile, but the more he did this, the more the housekeeper's heart hurt, and then look at his umbrella was already soaked, and there were faint droplets of water seeping down.

"Alas. The butler sighed and said no more, and was about to turn around when he heard a splashing sound.

A carriage came from the west, and then a handsome young man in a Confucian robe came out of the carriage.

"Young Master, you're back. The housekeeper hurriedly greeted him with an umbrella, walked to the young man's side, and inadvertently led him to Ye Luo's side.

"Who is this?" Sure enough, Shen Chengye stopped and looked at Ye Luo and asked.

"This is the little young master of the Ye family, who came to ask to see the master. It's just that the old man is busy with things and has no time to meet him. ”

The housekeeper hurriedly replied.

Shen Chengye frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied, "It's raining so heavily outside, let him in." ”

As he spoke, he took Ye Luo's hand, "Let's go, I'll take you in." ”

Ye Luo raised his head, looked at this personable and handsome young man, and nodded, "Thank you, second brother." ”

Shen Chengye was stunned, "How do you know that I am the second son of the Shen family?"

"The eldest brother of the Shen family went to other places, the second brother and the third elder brother studied in Lishan Academy, and the third brother was only four years older than Luo'er, so he was not as tall as the second brother. The second brother is wearing a Confucian robe and dressed as a Confucian student, so there is no doubt that he is the second brother. ”

Shen Chengye nodded in admiration, it seems that it is not for nothing that my father lost in the hands of such a child.

Many years later, when the two remembered this scene, they only had infinite sadness in their hearts.

When the group entered the Shen Mansion, Shen Chengye asked the housekeeper to take Ye Luo to the front hall to warm up, and he went directly to the study.

"Dad, my son just saw the little young master of Ye Mansion standing at the door, what's going on?" Shen Chengye knew that his father was uncomfortable, but doing so really seemed that the Shen family was narrow.

"Where did I let him stand?" Hearing his son say this, Master Shen was also a little panicked, he was angry just now, thinking that he would just send that kid away, but he didn't expect him to leave

"Why didn't he leave? Is he still there?"

Shen Chengye stopped his father, who was about to go out, and said, "I already let my son bring in." ”

"Dad, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and it is really a bit despicable for Dad to act like this. Shen Chengye was also unhappy in his heart, why was his father so confused? Didn't he see that this was the intention of the Ye family kid to come here?

"What do you mean?"

"Dad, my son also heard about the incident a few days ago in the academy, and the fault was originally on my father. ”

"Tut-tut. Lu Xiunian, who spoke out this time, seemed to sigh and said, "It's really unexpected to have such a deep scheming at such a young age." ”

Luoyang looked at him, and finally someone confided in him like himself, and finally he was no longer alone.

Luoyang was about to cry excitedly, but Li Xiangqing next to him still had the same complexion, indulging in this story that Luoyang felt vulgar no matter how she looked at it.

It's just that what Luoyang doesn't know is that for some people, those vulgar stories, once they really happened, his meaning makes all those negativity lose their meaning.

Although he was a little unbearable, Shen Chengye still had to say, "Dad, this silk line is not our Shen family's family, if you want to learn other people's crafts, of course it will cause others to be unhappy." If you want to fight back, there's nothing wrong with that. If Dad is tricked, it is even more understandable. ”

"Alas, son, you don't know what is going on here, if our Shen family really fights silk, it can't compare to the Ye family, and it can only be second. It was only by virtue of the name of the current queen that she got a word in Hangzhou. The people from the Internal Affairs Office sent by the imperial court this year are people from the emperor's faction, and if my father doesn't do something, then the name of the imperial merchant will fall on someone else's head. ”

"What about now?" Shen Chengye did not hesitate at all, but became more decisive, "Where are the two people that my father dug up from the Ye family? Where should the 10,000 pieces of cloth go? Who will fall on the head of this year's imperial merchants?" Shen Chengye didn't ask a single question, and Master Shen's face became more and more pale.

In the end, Shen Chengye had to sigh deeply

"Dad, there are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't force it. It's my father's fault after all. The son doesn't understand the battle between the emperor and the queen, and he doesn't want to participate, but the son knows a word. ”

"What?"

"The sky is high, and the emperor is far away. As soon as Shen Chengye's words fell, Master Shen slumped into the chair.

How could he not know what his son's words meant, no matter how close the queen is, it is also far away in the capital, and he has made waves in Hangzhou, and it is good to say that the queen is powerful, if the queen is not powerful, where can she take care of herself?

Master Shen has lived for decades, and he can't even understand it as clearly as his teenage son.

It's not that the Ye family is against themselves, it's that they're against the emperor.

"Then according to Ye'er's words, that kid from the Ye family came here to ......"

"I heard the housekeeper say that he came to apologize. Shen Chengye glanced at his father and sighed, no matter who came up with this idea, he could see that the Ye family was not ordinary.

"If the Ye family wants to sincerely apologize, why did they send a yellow-mouthed child?"

"Dad, this matter is the Shen family's mistake first, the Ye family's willingness to visit is already a big step back, and this idea was originally from this Ye family boy, he came to apologize, it is the most appropriate to be reasonable. ”

"Son, take my father to see that kid from the Ye family. Master Shen also figured it out and wanted to stand up, but found that he had long lost his strength, Shen Chengye saw this and hurriedly went to the side to help his father, and the two walked all the way to the front hall.

At this time, the front hall is peaceful.

"Does Uncle get a pain every time it rains?" Ye Luo asked as he looked at the butler who was accompanying him.

"How does the little master know?" The housekeeper was a little surprised, after all, not many people knew about this old problem.
