Chapter 114: Misappropriation of Tribute
After waking up, Yu Ruyan rubbed her head, she drank a few more glasses of wine yesterday, and she couldn't imagine that her head hurt so much. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Yu Ruyan still insisted on getting up and went to the small kitchen to prepare breakfast for Tang Yunluo.
As soon as he walked to the door, he smelled a fresh fragrance, and from the door, Tang Yunluo was standing in front of the pot.
"Mr. Luo, why are you up?" Yu Ruyan asked.
Tang Yunluo turned around, and after seeing Yu Ruyan, he said with a smile: "You go and wash up, breakfast will be fine immediately." ”
"But ......"
Tang Yunluo walked over with a smile, pulled Yu Ruyan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you go wash up, and then sit in the house and start eating immediately." ”
Yu Ruyan had no choice but to go into the house to wash up, and when she was tidy up, she smelled that there was no longer any smell of wine on her body, and Yu Ruyan came to Tang Yunluo's house. I saw two bowls of porridge and four plates of refreshing side dishes already served on the table.
"It turns out that Mr. Luo also has such a craft." Yu Ruyan said with a smile, "I drank a little more yesterday, but I didn't get up today." ”
Tang Yunluo smiled and said, "If you say anything, I don't blame you, sit down." ”
"This taste is a bit of a Shu feeling." Yu Ruyan took two bites and said with a smile, "I don't know where my husband's ancestral home is these days." ”
The corners of Tang Yunluo's mouth were slightly hooked, and he thought, Ru'er, do you feel it? Don't worry, I'm turning back into Tang Yunluo little by little.
"I just like the taste of Shuzhong, just like I like hibiscus flowers." Tang Yunluo said with a smile.
"I see." Yu Ruyan nodded a little disappointed.
Tang Yunluo looked at her gloomy eyes, his chopsticks trembled slightly, and he was thinking about whether to do something more to make her feel deeper.
Not long after eating, Hu Qitu ran over angrily, threw a small box to Yu Ruyan, and said angrily: "Qin Sang, this crazy woman, doesn't know what to smoke crazy!" ”
Yu Ruyan inexplicably looked at the box that was rolling around on the ground a few times, and Tang Yunluo smiled strangely, as long as it was about Qin Sang, Hu Qitu was very angry.
"What is this?" Yu Ruyan glanced at Hu Qitu, picked up the box on the ground and asked.
Hu Qitu sat down, picked up the tea on the coffee table next to him, poured it down, and muttered, "This woman is really ......"
Hu Qitu didn't say the next words, but Tang Yunluo knew that even if he said it, it would not be a good thing, so Hu Qitu glanced at Yu Ruyan and swallowed back the ugly words.
Yu Ruyan opened the box and saw that inside was a delicate purse with a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on it.
Now a fool can understand what it means, a woman giving a purse to a man is already obvious, plus the pattern of the mandarin duck, what else can it mean?
Tang Yunluo laughed and teased: "Her Royal Highness the princess has already expressed her intentions so clearly, is Mr. Zhan just throwing and beating like this?" If the princess knows, I'm afraid it will be another turmoil. ”
Hu Qitu glanced at Tang Yunluo a little angrily and said, "Mr. Luo, is this a joke that you can see?" ”
Yu Ruyan did hold the purse and was silent.
"Yun Ruo, what's wrong?" Tang Yunluo was careful and saw Yu Ruyan's abnormality.
Yu Ruyan sneered and said, "I'll just say, this Qin Sang is the biggest loophole in the Qin Mansion, and you can always find some clues from her." ”
"What did you find?" Tang Yunluo asked.
When Hu Qitu heard this, he also looked at Yu Ruyan and asked, "Is there a problem with this purse?" ”
Yu Ruyan nodded and said, "This purse is made of Xuanji brocade. Xuanji brocade is an outstanding embroiderer among the Chu people invented 70 years ago, the process is complex, ingenious. After it came out, it shocked the Central Plains and was hard to find. This kind of brocade is only owned by the Chu State, and it is only used as a royal tribute, and the people are not allowed to own it privately. ”
"Miss Yun knows so much." Hu Qitu couldn't help but admire.
Yu Ruyan said with a smile: "Where do I know more, I used to be an embroiderer." ”
"Since the people are not allowed to have it, then where have you seen it, and determined that this is the hard-to-find Xuanji brocade?" Tang Yunluo asked.
Yu Ruyan chuckled lightly and said, "If you want to blame it, it's because Qin Yuan is too greedy for money, and even dares to take out the tribute that is only allowed to be enjoyed by the royal family, and buy and sell it." ”
Tang Yunluo seemed to have a flash of spiritual light in his mind, and he faintly felt that the handle of the Qin Mansion was about to be caught.
"You said that the Qin Mansion resells tribute?" Huqitu asked, "Have you seen this before?" ”
Yu Ruyan said slowly: "When I used to be an embroiderer, I was once called by Mama Zhao, who was in charge, to take a job. At that time, the shopkeeper of the embroidery room and Mama Zhao were very mysterious, and they took me to Mama Zhao's house, saying that there was a big job to do. After I went, I found a kind of fabric that I had never seen before, and I heard Mama Zhao say that it was sent by a wealthy merchant in Jinling, Chu State, called Xuanji Jin. I've heard of Xuanji brocade, but I've never seen it, and I'm really surprised when I see it. I can't imagine that the folk craftsmen can weave such a beautiful brocade cloth. The shopkeeper of the embroidery room said that this Xuanji brocade was not easy to come by, and it was made by a wealthy merchant of Chu State to give a red pavilion top card, and it was made into a pattern of a phoenix wearing a peony. At that time, I knew that this Xuanji brocade was a tribute from the palace, and someone must have stolen the tribute when it appeared among the people, and the shopkeeper warned me to keep my mouth shut. ”
"I see, but what happened?" Huqitu asked.
Yu Ruyan said: "Then I took this job with the shopkeeper and Mama Zhao." ”
Tang Yunluo said: "In this way, we have found traces of Qin Yuan's reselling of tributes, and this time Qin Sang took the Xuanji brocade dedicated to the royal family and gave it to Mr. Zhan, explaining ......"
"It shows that the tribute of the Qin Mansion is only more than that in the palace." Yu Ruyan continued.
Yu Ruyan said: "Of course, the tribute is not necessarily resold by the Qin Mansion, but since Xuanji Jin has appeared, we can check down in this direction." ”
"Yes, but there may be something to grieve Mr. Zhan." Tang Yunluo chuckled, and Yu Ruyan also nodded.
Hu Qitu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked as if he understood, "What do you mean...... Do you want me to make a false statement about that crazy woman? ”
Tang Yunluo and Yu Ruyan were silent at the same time, and Yu Ruyan said slowly: "Mr. Zhan, I'm sorry, in fact, we can do it in other ways." For example, buy the housekeepers in the house, or let them ...... Wufu"
"I listen to you." Hu Qitu said, "Say, what should I do?" ”
Yu Ruyan looked at Hu Qitu apologetically and said, "Mr. Zhan doesn't have to be so wronged, we can ......"
"My purpose is to get you out of this iron prison as soon as possible." Hu Qitu said, "Since Qin Sang is the best breakthrough, then what do you want me to do, just say it." ”
Yu Ruyan thought for a while and said, "Actually, we can take a multi-pronged approach, and we don't necessarily have to rely entirely on Mr. Zhan. I asked Wufu to check out other things in the kitchen and the mansion to see if there would be any theft or even deduction and reselling of tribute in the Qin Mansion. Mr. Luo, you start from outside the mansion and see if there are any supplies in the palace in Jinling City. Mr. Zhan, ...... over there."
"Just say it." Hu Qitu said, "I can do anything for you." ”
