Steward Zhu introduced that the next to him is Lord Zhu's cousin Master Yang, who runs a textile workshop at home, and this time he was commissioned by the imperial court to make 300 military jackets of the Praetorian Guard, and according to the plan, he should arrive in the capital last night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Steward Zhu paused and looked at Lord Shui, who just nodded and didn't answer.

Steward Zhu had no choice but to continue: "I heard that the caravan and the guards at the city gate had some unpleasant trouble, and the people and goods were brought to this mansion, and I also asked Lord Shui to be accommodating, and let the people go back with me for the sake of Lord Zhu's face, and let them go back with me first with the goods, and Lord Zhu will come to the door in person to thank you another day." ”

Lord Shui took a sip of tea, looked at the teacup and said to himself, "Today's tea is good." After speaking, he looked up at the two of them, waved his hand and asked them to also drink tea and taste the dim sum, saying that this dim sum was made by the new chef very soft and delicious. Steward Zhu and Master Yang looked at each other for a moment and then looked at Lord Shui, and Master Yang hurriedly said: "My lord, do you know that this is the military jacket of the Imperial Guard, and the errand in the palace cannot be delayed for a day." ”

Suddenly, with a "snap", Lord Shui slapped the table and said, "You also know that this is an errand in the palace, and you dare to fake." He looked at Steward Zhu again, "Steward Zhu, you may be kept in the dark, it's not that I don't give Lord Zhu face, unpacking and inspecting the goods is a rule, which makes sense in our Jingzhao Mansion." But I really didn't expect this inspection, Master Yang even dared to deceive the saint, you can see for yourself what is mixed in this cotton. As he spoke, he waved his hand at the guard, and the guard handed Steward Zhu a ball of cotton.

Master Yang swallowed his saliva and lowered his head and didn't dare to speak again, Steward Zhu didn't even look at it and stood up and said: "Lord Shui, there must be some misunderstanding here, no matter how bold Master Yang is, he doesn't dare to adulterate the goods in the palace, you don't look at Lord Zhu's face, you have to look at the Prime Minister's face, Lord Zhu is the Prime Minister's proud protégé, how can you let the textile workshop in Jiangnan take over this task without the Prime Minister's recommendation." You let the people go first, let us take the goods away, and Lord Zhu will definitely investigate whether this adulteration is someone eating inside and out, or if something is wrong. ”

Of course, the water people understand that a village fifty kilometers north of the capital is all engaged in textile workshops, and their raw materials are also purchased from the south of the Yangtze River, which is very famous in the area of the capital. And the cost of transporting raw materials is much lower than the cost of transporting finished products, no matter how you look at the workshop in Jiangnan, it is not cost-effective, but the prime minister is reluctant to seek the near and far, and let Lord Zhu's cousin make this batch of military jackets, not only to help his family earn silver, but also to make a lot of money from this layer, it seems that the money drawn out by cutting corners for each military jacket is mainly fed to Lord Zhu and the prime minister.

But the matter has come to this point, so easily let them be proud, and Uncle Guo will lose face in front of the prime minister. These two celebrities in front of the emperor have been fighting openly and secretly, and as the protégé of the uncle of the country, he is naturally the opposite of Cheng. As long as the goods are in their own hands, they don't dare to do anything if they have a reason.

Lord Shui thought about shouting to see off the guest, Master Yang immediately looked at Steward Zhu, he was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Lord Shui to be so ruthless. The two guards approached them and made a gesture of please, and they had to leave first.

Steward Zhu scolded and walked out, Yiyun passed by him, he had seen Steward Zhu when he and his father congratulated the prime minister on his birthday, and he wanted to say hello Steward Zhu had already walked over, Yiyun looked back and felt inexplicable, but it was certain that something must have happened, and it was related to the departure of the adult yesterday. He saw Li Zhutou hurriedly walking in the direction of the inner hall, so he followed.

As soon as Li Zhutou entered the door, he asked Steward Zhu if he had come to ask someone to pick up the goods, and what the adults were going to do next. Lord Shui told him about the conversation he had just had with Steward Zhu, and Li Zhutou felt that if this matter was related to the prime minister, he might not be able to deal with it as Lord Shui, and he should let Mr. Wei know about this matter, in case things develop in a bad direction, he would have the support of Uncle Guo's mansion.

The door was suddenly pushed open, Yiyun was extremely emotional, and when he walked in, he said: "If I am not from Uncle Guo's mansion, you don't plan to tell me about this, right, I, the chief catcher, is just a decoration in your eyes, right?" ”

Li Zhutou saluted and didn't dare to speak and looked at Lord Shui, the adult quickly explained that this matter should not be publicized, except for Zhang Zhutou and Li Zhutou, no one else knew, and he stayed up half the night last night, and he really didn't want him to be affected.

Yiyun made a big salute, emphasizing that he should not think of himself as a fourth young master, wearing this clothes of the chief catcher, he is the chief catcher of Jingzhao Mansion, and it is his duty to solve problems for adults.

The adult nodded without saying anything more, and told him the details of the matter. After hearing this, he immediately had an idea, and suggested that the people of the caravan should be signed and drawn immediately, proving in black and white that Master Yang had mixed waste cotton yarn with this batch of military jackets, and it should be emphasized that it was mixed with waste cotton yarn in this batch of military jackets of the palace guards.

He felt that if the prime minister was involved, he would not necessarily give up Master Yang for self-preservation, not only wasting an opportunity to make money, but also making it easy for the people below to lose trust in him. He will definitely come up with some way to solve this matter, so to get the identification evidence quickly, the physical evidence alone will not do anything at all.

Li Zhutou looked at Yiyun, his impression of him changed a little, and he said that Zhang Zhutou was good at interrogation, so he went to him. The adult looked at Yiyun with a smile on his face, and just wanted to praise him for being worthy of being the young master of the National Uncle's Mansion, but he held back and decided to mention the National Uncle's Mansion less in the future.

Yiyun's mood still hadn't calmed down, and he didn't have anything to say when he saw the adults, so he walked out without saluting. I was patrolling the streets all day, and I heard Mr. Wei shouting on the road to catch his head, but he was not as happy as he listened to on the first day, and suddenly felt that this kind of greeting was perfunctory.

After the ya, he changed into a casual dress all over the street, didn't want to go back to the house and didn't know where to go, suddenly wanted to drink, but found that he didn't know what other taverns there were in the capital except for Narcissus. He unconsciously walked to the Narcissus Residence, stopped at the door and hesitated, as if he was drunk without drinking, looked at the plaque and hummed and repeated: "Narcissus Residence ......."

The guy went out to see off the guest and recognized him, and shouted directly: "Mr. Wei, please catch the head inside." After he followed up, the guy began to ask how many people there were today, and if there was a private room he liked, Yiyun glanced at the hall, and there was no one at a table in the corner, so he walked over and sat down, and the guy was stunned.

He shouted to order food and the guy didn't respond, he glanced around and asked, "What, can't you sit here?" The guy nodded and shook his head desperately, smiling at him: "Yes, you can sit wherever you want." ”

Yiyun ordered a pot of wine, half a catty of sauced beef, and a plate of peanuts, and the guy looked at the amount of dishes and guessed that he was here to drink alone. The man felt that these people were not short of money at all, so he seemed a little lazy to sit on the first floor, and ran to Narcissus's private room to talk about it.

Narcissus was drinking tea, and was stunned when he heard the guy say that he was holding the tea. In the past, I heard my father-in-law mention that Li Zhutou couldn't get used to the rules here, and he refused to come to this Narcissus Residence, so he was secretly happy, and he also understood why Li Zhutou was willing to help Guanyin.

I thought that Yiyun, who I knew, was upright, and maybe I didn't like it here like Li Zhutou, but I was just socializing yesterday, but I didn't expect to come over by myself the next day, and I suddenly felt a little blocked in my heart.

I picked up the teacup and put it down, looking outside for a while and looking at the direction of the door, and I couldn't sit still. Thinking about why Yiyun came to drink alone, did he like this place, shouldn't he be, he had the habit of drinking every day, why he had never been here before, and was there any other reason. Thinking about it, he unconsciously stood up and walked downstairs with a pot of wine.

Before he reached the table, he shouted, "Mr. Wei, welcome." Yiyun raised his eyes and ignored it and continued to pour wine. Narcissus had already seen his weeping face, and his heart wrenched, and he understood that he was drinking and getting drunk.

According to past experience, in this case, Narcissus will not go over to toast, and will not bother again, but this time it was Yiyun who faced Yiyun, who walked forward uncontrollably on his two legs, and wanted to sit quietly with him even if he didn't speak.

After Narcissus sat down, Yiyun glanced at him, squeezed out a smile and said, "Although I am the young master of the National Uncle's Mansion, the status of the concubine is not high. I'm sorry, I can only drink on this floor, so that you can earn less money. "Pour a glass after that.

It seemed that he was really drunk, otherwise he would not have said such a thing, and Narcissus shook his head and poured a glass. Yiyun smiled at him taking a drink, picked up the wine glass and hit his glass and said "Dry", and the two of them drank another glass at the same time.

Narcissus kept staring at him after pouring wine, and he swayed his body and said: "I know why everyone likes to come here, it turns out that drinking alone is really boring, and someone accompanies this wine to have the aroma of wine." After speaking, he amplified his voice and shouted to the guy, "Another pot".

Narcissus didn't know what happened to him, and he was uncomfortable to look at, and the fire was burning, but the second time they met, they inquired about privacy, and when he sobered up, he would doubt himself. He took a deep breath and got up to leave, when his arm was suddenly grabbed, "Don't go, drink together." ”

In an instant, the heartbeat of "dong, dong" was amplified many times, Narcissus covered his chest with his other hand, looked at the arm that was dragged and swallowed saliva, stared at him for a long time after sitting down, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "If Mr. Wei doesn't mind, tell me the troubles, if Narcissus can help you, I will definitely help, and I guarantee that things will not spread outside this Narcissus." ”

Yiyun smiled and poured a glass of wine, and began to mutter: "What's the trouble, it's okay at all, they all treat me as a decoration, I'm an idler." Since I was a child, I have been furnishings, and I have been kept outside, and I finally returned to the capital, and my father and brothers did not wait to see me......", said and poured another glass.

"Later, when I got the favor of the county lord and was willing to marry me, my father looked at me differently and gave me the errand of the head catcher of Jingzhao Mansion, but I don't like the county lord, my heart ......", he fell on the table twice with a disgust.
