Chapter 161: The Fire Pit
Cui Yingrong looked at Cui Yiting next to him after speaking, "You and Ji Ran often come and go, can you listen to Ji Ran?" ”
Cui Yiting said: "No." ”
When the sun fell, it seemed that the room was very quiet, and Cui Yingrong looked at Cui Yiting while drinking tea.
Cui Yiting got up after a while to say goodbye.
"Not waiting for your uncle to come back?" Cui Yingrong asked.
Cui Yiting said: "I can see my uncle in the yamen." ”
When Cui Yiting walked out of the courtyard, Cui Yingrong sighed, "These two children don't know what they're doing." ”
Zhou Ruan Ruan couldn't hear clearly, turned her head and asked her mother, "Who is my mother talking about?" ”
Cui Yingrong smiled meaningfully, "Don't ask, children. ”
"Mother is obviously talking about cousins and Wanning." Zhou Ruan Ruan tested her mother's thoughts.
Cui Yingrong stretched out her hand to scratch her daughter's nose, "As far as you are clever, you know everything." ”
Zhou Ruan Ruan suddenly came to her senses, "If Wanning can marry her cousin, then ...... Isn't that a good thing? ”
Yiting has never cared about other people's affairs, since he was a child, others have chased him to run, and it is more difficult to make him do a few things in a proper manner than to ascend to the sky, but now the situation has really changed, he is chasing others and running, and he doesn't feel it in his heart.
"What if Wanning agrees to the Chen family's marriage?"
Listening to her daughter's inquiry, Cui Yingrong laughed, "You, you've been communicating with Wanning for a few days, why don't you even know what her personality is, your cousin is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" If Wanning wanted the Chen family, she would not have closed the tea shop. Studying without leaving home, she won't do things that seem to be contrary to her heart, and people can be wronged for a while but not for a lifetime. This truth Wan Ning knows better than anyone else, looking at a family affair, it is necessary to really measure it, the so-called right door is to see if they can get along with each other in the future, so to cover it up, I think Wan Ning doesn't want Master Yao San to miss the Chen family anymore. It's going to be a one-and-done solution. ”
"Since that's the case, how could my mother still say those words and praise Chen Jiran in front of her cousin."
Cui Yingrong couldn't cry or laugh. "That's all for your cousin." Let's see if someone as smart as him will be confused.
……
"There is a dead salt transport envoy, and there are more than a dozen officials of all sizes below, just involving all the household officials who were not implicated in the Cui Shirong case."
"The emperor ordered the waiter of the Ministry of Rites to temporarily take charge of the Ministry of Rites. The Book of Rites will officially go to the Ministry of Household from tomorrow. ”
The household department is almost from Shangshu to Yuanwailang.
This is the largest action to rectify the rule of officials since Taizu.
Cui Yiting looked at the official document in his hand.
Xie Yanji looked sideways. The official document in Cui Yiting's hand still stayed on the page half an hour ago. Xie Yanji couldn't help but be surprised, Cui Yiting has always read official documents while listening to them, and the two did not delay, what happened today?
This official document is about the internal promotion of Jinyiwei, Cui Yiting is now a hundred households of Zhengliupin, it seems that the official position is not big, not only the internal officials are also in charge of the Beizhen Fusi, and there are many generals and captains below. But even then, it shouldn't be that tricky.
Xie Yanji wanted to ask. Zhao Putai, a staff member next to him, hurriedly waved his hand.
The room was quiet for a while, and Cui Yiting raised his head, "Where did you go?" ”
Xie Yanji almost spit out the tea in his mouth, daring to love for so long, Cui Yiting really didn't hear it.
"How's this year's tea selection?"
Xie Yanji said: "The tea merchant is sending tea," Speaking of this, "How could the Shen family's tea shop close at this time and not sell tea?" ”
Tea selection is a major event every year, tea merchants are full of energy to send tea up, tea and horses will buy tea when they see tea, who does not want to sell tea to tea horses, so it has become a big tea collector.
Even if you can't make much money, you will have a reputation, and it will be much more convenient to sell tea in the future, hasn't the Shen family's shop been famous?
Xie Yanji paused and continued, "Miss Yao Qi won't even know about this, right?" ”
Hearing Xie Yanji's words, Cui Yiting, who had been pursing his mouth, suddenly laughed.
……
Guang'en Mansion.
Mrs. Zhang sent Zhang Yuzhen, who had settled down, away, and then entered the study.
Zhang Qicheng just finished talking with his staff.
"How's the Zhao family's affairs?" Mrs. Zhang asked anxiously.
Zhang Qicheng shook his head, "It's not good, Zhao Fan can't get out this time," he said and looked at Mrs. Zhang, "You should also be careful, don't let the Zhao family's affairs implicate us." ”
The Zhao family is different from the Shou family, no one will think of the Guangen Mansion when the Shou family falls, Zhao Fan is his son-in-law and a noble, if there is any trouble, it is easy for people to think of him.
Mrs. Zhang said: "The duke did not personally ask the salt envoy for salt, unless it was my uncle who told the master, but there is no evidence from the Criminal Department, and my uncle will not be stupid to this point, it should not make people think of our family, at least Yu Jun's side is quite peaceful." ”
As soon as Mrs. Zhang's words fell, the housekeeper of the Zhang family came over and said, "Sir, madam, the shopkeeper over there is here." ”
Hua Mingxuan's shopkeeper has some friendship with Zhao Fan, how could he find here.
Zhang Qicheng frowned, "Let him go." "As long as it has something to do with Zhao Fan, you have to be careful now.
The steward nodded, and after a while, he went back and forth, "Hua Mingxuan sent tea, saying that it was for the lord and his wife to taste, Hua Mingxuan's shopkeeper said that the Shen family's shop does not sell tea anymore, and it seems that it is going to sell back the previous brocade, but fortunately, they have bought tea from the Shen family, and this year's new tea is here." ”
Is it the same new tea from the Shen family?
Miss Yao Qi suddenly stopped selling tea, who knows what she is planning.
Mrs. Zhang said: "There shouldn't be anything, every year there are tea merchants making new tea, the Shen family sells new tea, and other tea merchants can also find the appearance to make tea ......."
Zhang Qicheng looked at the steward, "Let Hua Mingxuan not have to come again in the future, and take back all the gifts that were sent." ”
The steward replied and retreated.
When there was no one in the house, Mrs. Zhang came up and said, "It's all ordinary etiquette, how can the lord be so careful." ”
Zhang Qicheng sat down, "Uncle's case hasn't been done yet." It's best not to have anything to do with the Zhao family. ”
It's just a tea house, there are so many dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing, who doesn't have a few shops to pay homage. Even before he didn't inherit the knighthood, he had never been so careful.
Thinking of Zhao Fan's matter, Mrs. Zhang's heart still beats, "Then listen to the lord." ”
……
Wan Ning saw Jiao Wuying in the house.
Jiao Wuying said: "The shop has not sold tea for several days, and everyone believes that Miss Seven really doesn't do business." Many tea houses came to the door to buy the leftover tea leaves in our hands, and tried to take away our tea masters. Don't talk about tea, your purple clay pot is also remembered by many people. ”
Wan Ning also painted the appearance of a purple clay pot under the lamp. It's no wonder that everyone will believe that now is the time for the tea horse division to ask for tea.
"What about Hua Mingxuan? What's going on? ”
Jiao Wuying said: "Like other tea houses, in addition to wanting to buy tea, I also want our master." ”
Since the Shen family doesn't sell tea, it's no longer available. It's useless to keep those tea making masters.
"Most of our tea makers are outside Beijing. There is still such a fuss in Beijing, and it is conceivable how many businessmen will be in a hurry to go out of Beijing to find someone. ”
Jiao Wuying continued: "When we sold tea, we had a good reputation, but now we don't sell tea, and our reputation seems to be even bigger." ”
As long as the merchants in Jingli want the tea in her hand, they are making a name for her new tea.
"Keep an eye on the Zhang family."
Hearing Wanning say this, Jiao Wuying nodded again and again, and He Danian next to him said, "Miss, don't worry, you won't be able to run these days." ”
The last time she was attacked by Zhang's family, she got out of the way. Now that Zhao Fan has been arrested, the Zhang family still wants to stay out of the matter. I'm afraid it's not that easy.
……
Zhang was listening to Yingui's announcement.
Yingui said: "Miss Seven has been learning to read and write with Mr. these days, and it seems that she really doesn't care about things over there." ”
Zhang nodded, the shopkeeper named Jiao Wuying is a good hand, and he will definitely be able to sell the remaining tea leaves in Yao Wanning's hands at a good price.
In addition to those tea leaves, there are also purple clay pots.
In addition to the two Zhuangzi outside Beijing, Yao Wanning also bought a new land in Xuanfu, and after the imperial court issued the salt policy, the land that Yao Wanning bought in Xuanfu became valuable.
In this way, Yao Wanning already has a lot of property in her hands.
Zijuan said: "Earlier today, the slave maid also met Mother Tong, Mother Tong was more arrogant than before, and the meaning of the words was that Miss Seven would marry the third master of the Chen family in the future." ”
Chen Jiran was lifted, Yao Wanning naturally felt that this was a good family matter, and the Shen family tried all their best to want Wanning to marry Chen Ge's hometown.
Zhang bent the corners of his mouth, "To make trouble is to calculate the family affairs for yourself." Thinking about it this way, it is not difficult to understand why the old man asked Chen Ge Lao to help invite the female gentleman, Yao Wanning obediently agreed not to do business but to learn to read and write.
"It's not just Miss Seven, but Miss Seven's house is learning to write."
thought that this would please the Chen family in the future, in the final analysis, no matter how powerful she was, she was a young lady who had not yet left the cabinet, and what she wanted at that time was to marry into a high family.
In this way, it was not in vain, she talked about Chen Ge Lao in the ear of the master.
Ru's mother smiled cutely, "In this way, before the marriage is decided, Miss Seven must at least pretend, and Mrs. can breathe a sigh of relief." ”
Zhang swept the skirt on her knees with a handkerchief, then she wanted to thank Chen Jiran for winning the lift at this time, which was only then taken by Yao Wanning, and she also wanted to thank Chen Ge Lao for not pushing this family business.
Ru's mother whispered: "Miss Seven really marries, and she will have a good future." ”
That's not necessarily, who said that the person who wanted to marry Yao Wanning was Chen Jiran, the Chen family has several rooms, and the grandson of the long house, Chen Zhongran, not only does not have fame, I heard that he still likes to watch dramas and listen to music, and he used to make a family appointment, and the daughter of that family got seriously ill without entering the door a while ago, Mrs. Chen hurriedly withdrew from the family business, Mrs. Chen is a shallow-eyed person, and all she can see in her eyes is money.
If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have persuaded the master to discuss marriage with Chen Ge at this time.
Chen Jiran was just used to deceive Wanning, but I didn't expect Yao Wanning to really want to marry Chen Jiran, presumably when Chen Jiran went to Taixing, Yao Wanning secretly saw it.
Chen Jiran is a talent, no wonder Wanning likes it, with Wanning's current situation, it is a great blessing to be able to marry Chen Jiran.
Zhang said: "Tell Miss Seven, pack up and go to Chen Ge's hometown with me for a banquet tomorrow." ”
If my mother answered.
Wanning pushed so many banquets, if she didn't care about the marriage of the Chen family, she wouldn't agree to go out, in this case, she helped to set Wanning's marriage, as long as the woman is married, she can see what will happen in the future, no matter how it is, she will not run out of the big day of her husband's house.
After a while, Gongfuru's mother came in and said, "Miss Seven agreed." ”
Zhang said: "Prepare gifts, we will have breakfast tomorrow." ”
……
Chen Ge's old home.
Mrs. Chen lay on the soft couch and let her subordinates gently beat her legs, "Where's the uncle?" ”
Steward Yu's mother shook her head, "I haven't come back yet." ”
Mrs. Chen frowned, "Didn't you let people go out to look for it early in the morning?" ”
Yu's mother didn't know how to say it, "The troupe that the uncle likes went to the Wuxing Marquis Mansion, why don't you have to wait until the banquet is over before the uncle can come back." ”
Mrs. Chen suddenly stood up, "It's still that temperament, it's because of the rumors that he and that drama...... just lost his family, the old man was so angry that he almost broke his legs, he didn't have a long memory, no wonder the old lady only liked Ji Ran's grandson, and frowned at the mention of him. ”
Yu's mother hurriedly persuaded: "You are also dissipated, since the last time...... It was the first time that the uncle went out so late, and the Marquis of Wuxing was a noble, since he invited the uncle, it was not good for the uncle to come and cheer. ”
"I said that I would marry a daughter-in-law early and come back, so that he could also take care of his temperament," Speaking of this, Mrs. Chen took a breath, "That Miss Yao Qi is so powerful outside, I don't know if she will be able to listen to me when she enters the door in the future." ”
"Whoever doesn't listen to you."
If it weren't for the property in Yao Wanning's hands, she wouldn't have fought for this family business.
The last time I went to Yao's house as a guest, but I glanced at the accounts on Mrs. Yao's desk, and she was startled, the thick stack of accounts was half a foot high, and Mrs. Yao San didn't look at it and let people send it to Miss Yao Qi, which was the shop that Miss Yao Qi managed herself.
It's amazing.
The Shen family's immortal shop sold tea, and it became prosperous all of a sudden.
As soon as he changed hands, he bought the Yu family's tuntian in Xuanfu.
There are a lot of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Beijing, which lady in the house has so much money, and when she marries in the future, those things will naturally follow to her in-law's house.
Not to mention that Miss Yao Qi is a full-bearded and full-tailed, even if she is a cripple, she is willing to marry into the door.
Mrs. Chen was thinking about it, Chen Zhongran entered the door and stepped forward to salute her mother, Chen Zhongran sat on the chair with her feet cocked.
Mrs. Chen's face showed a look of hatred for iron and steel, "If your father knows about it, he will definitely beat you so hard that you can't go to the ground for three days." ”
Chen Zhongran didn't think so, and curled his mouth, "What's that, if I have the ability, I won't be able to go out for the rest of my life." ”
Mrs. Chen stroked her chest, "What a wrongdo, I knew I shouldn't have given birth to you." ”
"It's too late for my mother to regret it now," Chen Zhongran smiled cynically, "Mother only has one son for me, and if she doesn't give birth to me, who will she expect to support her in the future." ”
Speaking of this, Chen Zhongran took a sip of tea, "That Miss Yao Qi that my mother said really has so much money?" How does it look? ”
