Since Zhou Hongwen and his entourage changed their route, Prince Rui has begun to ask the household department to redo the accounts of the salt tax in recent years.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.

Soon after, as the month of July dawned, news from the south confirmed his uneasiness.

Zhou Hongwen and his entourage started directly with the salt tax in the Huaizhou area, but in two days, they checked the salt tax of the entire Huaizhou clearly.

The price of official salt is outrageously high, illegal salt is overflowing, and the president of the Huaizhou Chamber of Commerce colludes with the Cao gang to control the entire market. The salt tax in the entire Huaizhou has long been rotten to the roots.

Bai Lian has always been paying attention to their every move, and Yang Qing has news from time to time.

She knew that this matter was a whole-body matter, and such collusion between officials, businessmen and bandits could not be dealt with in ten days and a half months.

Zhou Hongwen and the Cui family's wedding date is scheduled for September, but I am afraid that it will be delayed.

However, Bai Lian is not worried, she believes in Zhou Hongwen's ability, he is the eldest grandson of the emperor taught by the emperor's grandfather, if it weren't for the Yan family's support for his father, the emperor's grandfather would be willing to inherit the throne.

Compared with Bai Lian's lack of worry, Prince Rui is full of fire every day, and his heart is hot!

He really underestimated Zhou Hongwen, and in less than a month, he turned the Huaizhou area upside down.

"What a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!" Prince Rui said hatefully.

Lu Ye listened on the side, did not speak, but drank tea slowly, and did not seem to be disturbed by Prince Rui's anger.

"The prince should make plans as soon as possible." Lu Ye said calmly.

The salt tax, since the imperial court intervened. is still being pushed, Prince Rui is so passive, obviously he can't keep it.

Prince Rui looked at Lu Ye with a calm expression, he looked so indifferent, looking like an outsider, Prince Rui always felt that Lu Ye was not the same as before, but he couldn't say what was different.

After all, when it comes to giving advice, what he says is right.

However, apparently not as attentive as before.

"Ye'er. Have you been on your mind lately? ”

Lu Ye listened to Prince Rui ask. couldn't help but smile bitterly twice, and said, "The prince can also see it, hey"

Lu Ye's sigh was helpless. Three points of sorrow. Three points of sadness. There is even more of a tossing and turning that I can't ask for.

Prince Rui is a person who has come over, and he understands it in his heart when he hears it.

Lu Ye has always been in charge, but he forgot that he was young. There will also be times when children will grow up.

"Who is the daughter of the family that makes you so bored?" In Prince Rui's opinion, Mo said that he was a talent in Beijing, but looking at the Zhou Dynasty, it was difficult for anyone to be as good as Lu Ye.

Lu Ye rarely showed a trace of embarrassment in front of Prince Rui, so he just heard him say: "It's okay, I can handle it." ”

Prince Rui looked at Lu Ye and didn't say anything, smiled, and didn't ask again, but he remembered it in his heart.

After Lu Ye left, Prince Rui asked someone.

It is not a secret that Lu Ye likes Bai Lian, but after asking, Prince Rui knew that it was Bai Mingwen's daughter.

Prince Rui didn't like Bai Inscription because of this matter, and now he knew that Lu Ye had taken a fancy to his daughter, and then thought that Bai Inscription was just involved, and he didn't do anything practical after arriving in Huaizhou, but he was just put on the hook.

It's just that Prince Rui can't figure it out, Lu Ye is so good, how can he have such a helpless sigh?

Subsequently, Prince Rui didn't know what he thought of, and he also sighed, this matter of men and women, it is not who is excellent who has the upper hand, otherwise, there would not have been such regrets twenty years ago.

However, after knowing this, Prince Rui no longer has a prejudice against the white inscription, originally because he led out the Cui family, and Zhou Hongwen was introduced by the Cui family, which made him very annoyed, so it seems that it is also an unintentional mistake.

However, he didn't care about these things, and the things in Huaizhou were enough for him to worry about.

When it was August, all the provinces were busy, especially the Bai family, and the old lady Bai and Mrs. Bai were both on their birthdays in August, so they concentrated on one day. It was set for the tenth day of August.

And Mrs. Lu of Lu Mansion is also the birthday of early August, last year in Lu Mansion was unpleasant, and there was a remark in Ning Shoutang, Bai Lian does not plan to go this year.

Old Madam Bai was not reluctant, and took the other ladies of the family to Lu Mansion early in the morning.

When she came back later, Bai Lian looked at Old Madam Bai and Wei's faces, and Bai Ning and Bai Lotus who followed behind were also uneasy, so Bai Lian couldn't help but ask.

When I went back in the evening, I went to the white lotus room and asked about the white lotus carefully.

Only then did Bai He talk to Bai Lian: "Sister Nine, when you were at the banquet, someone told you about your relatives. ”

Bai Lian frowned, now she has never joined the circle of ladies in Beijing, no matter whose banquet it is, Bai Lian will not follow the Wei family, her reputation will definitely not be known to outsiders, it is precisely because she is afraid of such a situation.

"Who mentioned it?" Bai Lian asked.

Bai He saw Bai Lian's face turn cold, and knew that she was unhappy, Bai He said uneasily: "I heard from the seventh sister that that lady is the wife of Song Shangshu of the Ministry of War. ”

The wife of Song Shangshu of the military department?

Isn't that the daughter of the Yan family's second house?

How could she remember to say goodbye to herself?

"Who is she talking for?"

Bai He looked at Bai Lian's appearance, and said in a whisper: "Yan Shinan, the prince of Pingxi Hou. ”

"Bai Lian is speechless, it's really endless!

Last time, I couldn't take a concubine, but this time I let people say kiss again!

Wait a minute!

Since it was Mrs. Song who came forward, does it mean that the people of the Yan family have already agreed to Yan Shinan's nonsense?

What Bai Lian didn't know was that there was no way for the Yan family to disagree.

There is only one male in the Changfang Yanfang, Yan Shi Nan is not the Yan family compared to Uncle Yan Guo and Yan Taishi, and the original family has discussed it and let him be a princess.

It's just that since he was deflated in the Bai family last year, he became sick with his heart, and he went to the palace to tell Queen Yan that he didn't want Princess Shang, and begged the queen for mercy.

If he wasn't the queen's own nephew, Queen Yan would have to blast him out.

After Zhou Deyin fell in love with Gu Yan herself, Yan Shinan breathed a sigh of relief, and began to grind hard Mrs. Yan, saying that if she didn't marry the girl from the Bai family in this life, she would not get married.

It took more than half a year for Mrs. Yan to figure it out.

Yan Shi Nan used to be famous among the gentlemen in Beijing, but now it is good, the flower wine powder head, there is no one, and I miss the girl of the Bai family, I have to say, it is really a good phenomenon.

The Bai family's family is low, and Bai Inscription, a daughter of an official from the sixth grade, is now married into the Yan Mansion, and she must be high.

But as long as the girl of the Bai family can suppress the heather and urge him to improve, it is not a bad thing.

Old Madam Yan thought so, so she discussed it with Mrs. Yan.

Taishi Yan thought that the Bai family was gaining momentum now, and what Mrs. Yan said was also reasonable, Yan Shi Nan had been whipped since he was a child, what should he do after the injury was healed, if someone could hold him in the future, it would be a good thing.

As for the men's statement, Taishi Yan didn't think about it at all, as long as the affairs of Huaizhou were done well, Bai Mingwen's promotion was a matter of course.

So, for the sake of Yan Shinan's prodigal son's plan to turn back, the Yan family unanimously passed this decision. (To be continued.) )
