The third day of March is Han Qing's seventh birthday, and she ate longevity noodles in the morning, and received red envelopes and congratulatory gifts from her family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Doctor Chu had just finished giving Pei's pulse and left, Han Qing was washing her grandmother's eyes, and Ning Shuang came in from outside, "Madame, someone came from there, saying that the envoy from Jingli is in the front yard, and he is giving a birthday gift to the third girl." ”

Pei Shi said, "Ah Qing will accompany your aunt to meet him, so that people can talk back to Junyue." Pei Shi watched Chu Yuan grow up since he was a child, and he didn't treat him as an outsider in his heart.

"Yes, grandmother, A-Qing will come back when she goes."

Han Qing followed Ning Shuang to the hall where he met the guests in the outer courtyard, and saw that the person personally received by the Cui family turned out to be Shi Yan, the prince's personal guard. "Brother Shi, Brother Junyue actually sent you in person?"

Shi Yan said with a smile: "I wish the three girls good luck and a happy smile." ”

Han Qing dodged, and stepped forward to take the gift box handed over by Shi Yan. When I opened it, there were two mouth-pulling bags, one of which contained a lot of round black and black seeds, and the other contained a lot of big and shiny diamonds, Han Qing immediately smiled and squinted her eyes, this flower radish really coaxed people.

"That kind of seed was sent out by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to collect, and it is said to be a kind of melon brought out from an overseas merchant ship, and we don't know what it is. The sparkling diamond is a tribute from the Western Regions, the diamond is nothing, and it is rare to have a fine handiwork. Shi Yan saw that Han Qing liked it very much, so he introduced it in detail next to him.

When he was leaving, he also took out a letter and said, "Before leaving, His Royal Highness specially instructed the girl to give back a letter and bring it back." ”

Han Qing took the envelope and had to say, "Thank you, Brother Shi, I will send the written letter early tomorrow morning." ”

Shi Yan quit Cui Shi and Han Qing and went out.

Cui Shi pulled Han Qing and said, "Ah Qing's birthday today, although I can't hold a banquet to celebrate, but my aunt will take your sisters out shopping in the afternoon, and you can buy whatever you want." Han Qing happily hugged Cui's arm and shook it for a while.

In March, the entire Jiangnan was building embankments, which was the freshest thing in recent years. There was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys, and even when Han Qing and the others went shopping in Linglong Zhai, Qian Niangzi couldn't help but gossip with them.

Han Qing was very puzzled, "Mrs. Qian, my grandfather said that we build embankments in Jiangnan every year for flood control, why has it become a new thing this year?" ”

"Hey, a few girls don't know, every year the imperial court said that it would allocate funds to repair embankments for flood control, and what is really often repaired is not near these fortress towns such as Hangzhou City? Those small counties and small villages, where can they really be cultivated? This year, not only is the entire river in the south of the Yangtze River being built, but also what kind of rare cement is used, isn't it so strange that it can't be more unusual? ”

Qian Niangzi's mouth was sassy, and after a few words, the little girls were also puzzled, and a few people couldn't help but be happy, their fathers had sought well-being for the people of Jiangnan, and the family members were also honored. The mood promotes the desire to buy, and I buy more things with it. The money lady was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

Han Qing didn't unfold Chu Yuan's letter until the evening, the font of the dragon and the phoenix was very stylish, and the Emperor Chengqian, who was wearing a dragon robe and sitting in front of the desk in his previous life, was almost like jumping out of this letter.

Han Qing stabilized his mind and read the letter carefully, to the effect that he liked Han Qingbei's birthday gift very much, and said that he had no conscience if he didn't write a letter to him. However, this is the future emperor's handwriting, and it is not easy to deal with it at will, so I have to carefully collect it.

Because of the news that Qian Niangzi said during the day, Han Qing's mood was also very excited, so she decided to react to the prince's reaction to what had happened recently. From the banquet on the sixth day of the new year to today's remarks of Qian Niangzi, after writing a review of the whole article, it is very meaningful.

In the end, I finally added a few words, the kind of good words like that she likes very much, if you look at the number of words, it's not too little. Han Qing packed the letter and planted the seeds into the space, looking forward to what kind of plants would grow in the future.

On the second day, Shi Yan took the letter and hurriedly returned to Beijing with the specialties from the south prepared by Cui's family.

In April, the rainy season continued, and several adults in Nanjing could receive the construction progress from all over the country every day, except for some places where cement would not be used, resulting in a lot of technical waste, most of the feedback from the embankment built with cement was very good.

Xie Heng and the others naturally received the news of the secret guard early, and sent many people to keep an eye on the salt merchant Huang family, presumably the old faction of Zhu Ge will not be able to do bad in the disaster silver this year, and they will inevitably have to do something from the salt merchant.

On this day, it was still a drizzly weather, and the cowherd, as usual, wore a hat and stood by the embankment to supervise the work. The county magistrates and officials who followed him were miserable, and said in their hearts, in previous years, they couldn't think of us in this remote area, and this year, the old man of the five-grade official in Beijing, is not enjoying happiness in Beijing, and he is the same as setting up a post here, so it is better not to think of us.

Suddenly, I heard a woman's wail, a slender girl, with rain or tears on her face, stumbled in front of the cowherd, plopped and knelt on the ground, shouting "The folk girl has grievances." ”

Cowherd has always been diligent in the Ministry of Industry, and it is rare to see this kind of scene of blocking the road to seek justice, but it scared the old man. There were officers and soldiers next to him who wanted to step forward and pull the girl away, but although the rain was not heavy, the girl was embarrassed and her figure was prominent, and many people were still embarrassed to step forward and pull her.

The girl took advantage of the loophole, and suddenly ran to the feet of the cowherd, dragging the corner of the old man's clothes, crying so much that she wanted to cry to death here. The cowherd was upright and couldn't see this miserable and miserable scene, so he took the girl to the county government to ask about the reason.

The girl claimed to be surnamed Guo, and her family was a small salt merchant who was not ranked in Yangzhou City, and she could not buy salt directly from the salt officials, so she could only rely on those big salt merchants. This year, someone from the Chamber of Commerce said that if you want to continue to do business, you must not only give silver, but also sacrifice women, and named that the above has taken a fancy to this Guo girl, and the entire Guo family is in a cloud of sorrow.

"Oh? I wonder who this is talking about? Cowherd asked with a frown.

"It's Lord Yu, the prefect of Hangzhou!" The girl said hatefully, "This lord is said to have a very strong backstage in Beijing, and his hand in Jiangnan is extremely long, not only holding Yanguan Town with one hand, but also colluding with the officials of the Salt Transport Envoy Division, and the salt merchants in Jiangnan will bribe him!" The girl whimpered.

"Last autumn, this adult took people around and didn't know who to look for, but he once saw a little woman at the port of Yangzhou, and this year he asked my family to hand me over. My parents loved me and refused to give in, but they were set on fire by this Yu adult! The little girl escaped under the desperate protection of her parents, and at the moment of crisis, my father gave me an account book, saying that there was evidence of corruption in the Yu family, and asked me to go to the capital to sue for revenge. ”

"There's real evidence, show it to me." The cowherd said in disbelief. He doesn't have much contact with Yu Boru, but looking at his words and deeds, he looks like a frank person.

"My lord, the little woman is alone now, and she only heard that Jiangnan came to the capital, so she came to ask for help, but if you are in the same group as Lord Yu, how can I trust the adult?"

"The old man is from Beijing, and he is the head of the Ministry of Industry, and he has only a few faces with Lord Yu, although he does not handle this criminal case, but he will not ignore the grievances in vain. If what you say is true and the evidence is conclusive, I will help you to avenge your wrongs. ”

The girl seemed to believe the words of the cowherd, and turned her back, not knowing where to take out an account book. The Cowherd took the account book and saw that there were many officials and merchants involved, and the amount of money exchanged was staggering.

When he saw that the girl was convincing and had evidence in his hand, he couldn't help but feel that Yu Boru was a corrupt official with a beast's heart. So he sent for the maiden to be placed, and asked her to keep the account books by herself. He turned his head and went to write a letter to an old friend in Beijing, who happened to be Shi Langzhong, a Zhejiang Qing official of the Criminal Department.

Before the envelope was sent out, a small official came to the door, "Zhejiang has sent people to inspect the envoy Ma, is the adult receiving it now?" ”
