Chapter 552: Lunch Box

Qixi and the triumph of entering the city are one, to the capital Shishu hit a chicken blood, the people of the capital are all singing and dancing, celebrating the victory, in these days without the harassment of demon thieves, the capital has returned to the original peaceful and prosperous times, at least it looks like a peaceful and prosperous world.

After returning from Gonggong Long, Lan Ziyi didn't have anything important to deal with, and in the past few days, Lan Ziyi either studied, or played, or went to the horse farm with Tao Zhuhu to ride a horse, or went hunting in the suburbs of Beijing with Zhang Yanwu, and lived a very nourishing life.

Early this morning, the moon was waiting for Lan Ziyi to get up and wash, and the lady outside the house suddenly came to say:

"Marquis Wei, there is a father-in-law who asks to see you."

Lan Ziyi said:

"Come in, please."

As soon as Lan Ziyi's words fell, the lady outside the house led a young eunuch into the door. The eunuch came to Lan Ziyi with a lunch box, and after saluting, the eunuch said:

"Wei Hou, Daddy Yu, he is worried about Wei Hou's diet, this thing is the breakfast that Daddy ate this morning, and I made one and sent it to you as it is."

Lan Ziyi nodded with a smile when he heard this:

"There is Father-in-law Lao. Tell my father-in-law for me, Ziyi thank my father-in-law for his concern. There is yesterday's lunch box on the door, so take it home. ”

Then Lan Ziyi turned his head to the moon mountain and said:

"Yue'er, reward."

Hearing this, Yueshan stopped combing Lan Ziyi's hair, got up and took the silver taels to her father-in-law who ran errands. The father-in-law took the silver handed over by the moon mountain, and thanked him repeatedly:

"How dare the slave bother the eldest lady to give a reward."

Hearing this, Yueshan raised his chin and said:

"It's Wei Hou who rewards you, not me. Take the money and go back, Dad has other things for you to serve. ”

The eunuch nodded and thanked Lan Ziyi again, and then hurriedly turned back under the urging of the moon mountain. At the same time as giving people away in the Moon Mountain, Lan Ziyi opened the lunch box on the table, took out the dishes and snacks in it, and said to Yue'er:

"Compared with me, the so-called Guannei Hou, Yue'er, you are like a noble lady from a big family in the capital, and your tone has never been small."

Yue'er almost drove the eunuch away and returned to Lan Ziyi's side, continuing to arrange Lan Ziyi's hair, and she replied:

"Wei Hou, you are approachable."

Lan Ziyi smiled when he heard this, and said:

"Yue'er, your mouth is so sweet. Is this person who came just now an important person from my father-in-law's side? When he goes back, what important things does his father-in-law have to arrange for him? You urged him so hard. ”

Yue'er said indifferently when she heard this:

"I haven't seen him, and I don't know who he is, but he's a slave next to my father, so he should go back early to wait for the arrangement, how can he have so much spare time for him to wander around?"

At this time, Lan Ziyi had already taken out all the meals in the lunch box, and at the same time opened the dark pavilion at the bottom of the lunch box and took out the documents inside to unfold it, and when he heard the words of Yueshan, Lan Ziyi had to smile bitterly:

"Yue'er, you're really stubborn."

Lan Ziyi was speaking, and when he saw the lady outside the house, he said:

"Wei Hou, the two gentlemen of the Qiu family ask to see you."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi hurriedly put down the paperwork, tied his hair himself, got up and replied:

"Come in, two gentlemen."

Seeing this, Yue'er interjected and ridiculed Lan Ziyi:

"Wei Hou really values those two poor talents."

Lan Ziyi smiled when he heard this:

"If you don't dress properly, you can't see Mr., Yue'er, you can say a few words."

Hearing this, Yueshan said coquettishly:

"Wei Hou said as if he had never seen his father and son before."

At this time, the father and son of the Qiu family had already entered the house, Lan Ziyi and the father and son saluted and sat down separately, and then Lan Ziyi asked:

"Sir, I came early in the morning, I guess the things entrusted to me have been done."

Qiu Wenruo replied:

"The house has been found, according to the requirements of Wei Hou, it is close to the East Palace, and the courtyard is not big, it is next to Xu Sanhei's yard."

Lan Ziyi nodded when he heard this, and at the same time picked up the document he had just put down to review, and he said to Qiu Wenruo:

"Exactly, how much silver do you need Mr. Wenruo just tell Yue'er, take the silver ticket and buy the place, let's pick a good day to move over, it's time to say goodbye to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Qiu Wenruo nodded when he heard this, and at the same time subconsciously glanced at Yueshanjian, who returned Qiu Wenruo with a bright smile, so ashamed that Qiu Wenruo quickly lowered his head.

Qiu Xiaozhi said at this time:

"Wei Hou, I have also been contacted by Li Chenghai."

Originally, Lan Ziyi should be happy to hear this news, but Qiu Xiaozhi found that Lan Ziyi frowned at this time, and then looked at the document in Lan Ziyi's hand, Qiu Xiaozhi asked:

"Wei Hou, is there something wrong?"

Qiu Xiaozhi made a pun, his question was not only asking what Lan Ziyi was looking at, but also leaving room for maneuver in case he said the wrong thing. Sure enough, when Lan Ziyi heard this, he spread out the letter and handed it to Qiu Xiaozhi and said:

"Two gentlemen, take a look."

While the father and son of the enemy family were reading the paperwork, Lan Ziyi sighed:

"The people are not happy!"

Qiu Xiaozhi took a cursory look at the paperwork and handed the thing to Qiu Wenruo, Qiu Xiaozhi said straightly:

"This year's disaster is inevitable, but I didn't expect even Jiangxia to be flooded.

However, compared to the flood and drought, the matter outside the Saiwai written in this letter is related to Wei Hou, and the deputy of the imperial horse supervisor was tortured and killed by horse thieves on the prairie, and the acting prince is responsible for this matter. “

Lan Ziyi replied:

"It's okay, my father already knew about it when the second brother went back."

Qiu Xiaozhi smiled when he heard this, and did not continue to ask. When Lan Ziyi gave Tao Zhulu instructions on the day, his words flickered, although Qiu Xiaozhi knew what Lan Ziyi had arranged, but he was not sure what it was. Now that Lan Ziyi personally said that what Tao Zhulu brought back was the news that the father-in-law of the Imperial Horse Supervisor died outside the Saiwai, then it is true that this matter was instructed by Lan Ziyi to do it, and there is no point in asking again.

Qiu Wenruo took the document and read it carefully, then he looked up at the food and food box on the table, and asked:

"Could it be that these are the letters that my father-in-law has sent every day these days?"

Lan Ziyi smiled when he heard this:

"Where did the letter come from, it's just that Father-in-law Yu brought me some breakfast. After saying goodbye to my father-in-law last time, my father-in-law promised me to give me a few delicacies from the palace every day for me to try."

Then Lan Ziyi beckoned the ladies who were waiting outside the house and ordered them to bring the tableware, and then Lan Ziyi beckoned the Qiu family father and son and said:

"I was talking about things just now, and I forgot to greet the two gentlemen to eat, come, let's taste the craftsmanship of the palace together."

The father and son of the Qiu family thanked each other when they heard this, and then had breakfast with Lan Ziyi. During the meal, Qiu Wenruo said:

"Since it's breakfast brought by my father-in-law, I can read a lot of news while eating. It is written in the dish that Zhang Mingyue wrote a book to open Taicang and Pingcheng Cang to help the victims of Jinan and North China, which is an important matter. “

Qiu Xiao said directly:

"It's not just an important matter, but it can also give us a chance, I was going to attack Zhang Mingyue under the pretext of selling food, but I was worried that there was no excuse, but Zhang Mingyue sent it to the door by himself."

Qiu Wenruo said:

"Opening a warehouse and releasing grain will indeed cause a huge loophole, but the loophole is not only open to us, everyone in the DPRK and China can benefit from this big hole. Zhang Mingyue can't wipe the military rations of the Beijing merchants smuggling, but if he does some tricks and feet when he opens the warehouse to release the grain, Zhang Mingyue can easily wash the grain eaten by those big businessmen. “

Lan Ziyi stopped his chopsticks when he heard this, and he smiled:

"The two gentlemen, don't think so badly of Lord Shoufu, I believe that Lord Shoufu is for the sake of the common people in the world, please open a warehouse and release grain."

But then Lan Ziyi asked:

"What is the result of the two gentlemen's investigation of the merchants swallowing grain?"

Qiu Wenruo replied:

"The accounts of those merchants who swallowed grain are naturally clean, but the actual throughput of grain in his warehouse in the past few days, as well as the volume of grain sold by the boat gang along the river, cannot be faked, as long as you go to check, you can check it accurately."

Lan Ziyi shook his head when he heard this:

"But the problem is that I can't look it up. It's a weak force! No one is available. “

Then Lan Ziyi asked Qiu Xiao and said:

"Mr. just said that he contacted Li Zhongtang?"

Qiu Xiao said straightly:

"Exactly."

Lan Ziyi said:

"When can I visit him at his house?"

Qiu Xiao said straightly:

"It's okay today, that's why Wen Ruo and I came to see Wei Hou."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi raised his hand and stretched out his waist, and then he said:

"It's just time to get down to business."
