"Young master, there has been news from the Liu family, and the people in the second and third rooms have passed over early...... " It was an old man who spoke, and at the table not far from him, the young man was playing with jade, but he didn't respond to the old man's words.
"Originally, I pointed to finding the General's Mansion through the Liu family, but now that it is open, these two brothers are really Adou who can't be supported, and the relationship with the Li family is too stiff, if they are really allowed to be the family, I am afraid that it will not play much role."
"But the two dogs are originally idle chess, how can you really count on it?" The young man said, put the Pixiu in his hand on the table, the jade was round, and the carving was even more fine, "You send this back, and by the way, let them be honest." ”
The old man turned out to be Pixiu and put it in his sleeve pocket, "Miss Sihan's ...... there"
"You go, she naturally knows what to do, isn't she on a good relationship with Li Cai'er, it's not difficult to ask something, this woman...... It's still quite tasteful. The young man walked to the window, and the sunlight could just shine on his face, which was Yan Fan, the son of Yan Xiang.
"Little one understands." The old man is the old man next to Yan Xiang, since the Yan family was weak, he has followed Yan Fan's side, and it can be regarded as a good look at Yan Xiang, "Childe does things, the little one shouldn't intervene, it's just that this woman is desperate for fame and profit, she can follow Childe last night, and she can follow others in the day, it's really not a good match......"
Yan Fan looked at the old man coldly, "Fu Bo, you are in too much control, she is just a woman, what else can she do besides her body?" What's more, what she wants is just the head of the Liu family, I agreed, and as for the rest, she can't touch it, so don't worry about it. ”
"It's good that the son understands, the old slave is too talkative."
"Fauber, how is your father's health lately?" Yan Fan built a drunken building, and moved out of the Yan Mansion, which was also affected by the last incident, and Yan strengthened his control, he was not convinced, and at the same time, it was also for the convenience of doing things.
"Young master, rest assured, Xiangye is in good health."
"That's good, there will be another two or three months, and when I finish everything here, I will naturally go back, and then I will ask his old man for guilt."
"Childe, let the old slave say one more word, there have been several words in the prince's mansion, and Xiangye has also agreed, the price of grain has risen almost, and it is always bad to make too much trouble."
"Okay, do you think I'm really here for those petty profits? If you look at my affairs, if you are willing to tell your father, you can tell him, and I will not stop it, things have come to this point, my goal must be achieved, and it can be regarded as an explanation for myself. Yan Fan's tone was firm, and the old man didn't dare to say anything more, he didn't know in his heart that this young master's temperament was the personality of the pride of the sky from childhood to adulthood, and there were few people in his eyes, and now seeing his father being suppressed by the prince's mansion, he naturally wanted to turn over, and the opportunity was the price of grain, and when the prince's mansion was unable to control it, Yan's move was to turn the tide.
The old man went to Liu's house, and talked to several people of the Liu family according to Yan Fan's instructions, Liu Hongtao and Liu Honglei's expressions were the most exciting, from the ecstatic at the beginning, to the lifeless at the back, and then to the anger at the end, and as a representative of Yan Fan, the old man always looked indifferent, and he was disdainful of the anger and questions of the two and the Liu family, "Don't mess with the ...... of the elders and children", "The Liu family still maintains the status quo ......" left a few words, and then ignored them.
A turmoil, the original momentum, the momentum, after a few words from the old man, it became extremely embarrassing, the second room's dependence, the third room's expectations have now become the help of the long room, although the people in the two rooms don't know what happened, but the status quo can only swallow their anger.
The head of the Liu family is still a long house, and the actual right is still Liu Sihan, "That's all for today, the second uncle, the two cousins have also been busy for a few days, I will let the steward take over the business matters, you and they will rest for a few days, as for Wenquan and Wenming, don't think about it too much, the Xiangfu is there, I will naturally go back to do something." The words were peaceful, but there was a faint smile on his face, which fell in the eyes of everyone in the second and third rooms.
By the end of April, the crazy rise in grain prices had attracted everyone's attention, and although the prince's mansion had formulated countermeasures, they could only watch the grain prices rise day by day, and the people sent out could play a very small role.
"Now, there is trouble in the southern Fangla, and the price of grain has risen like this, seeing that it is about to be the season of sowing, and if the solar term is missed, not to mention that there is no harvest, there will be a famine."
"But this is the case, I went to other places to buy goods a few days ago, and many places are either outrageously high food prices, or there is no food to sell at all, how can the people still live?"
"What is the Prince's Mansion for, why is it helpless for so long? Or are they all in the same group! ”
"How can you say that, don't all state capitals have notices, and the prince also wants peace in the world."
"Hey......"
The few people talking in the room were all students who had entered Beijing to take the exam, and naturally had a personal experience of the rise in food prices.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the little girl is not talented, there are a few paintings here, they were originally given by friends, I took them out today, and several sons bid at will, and I will send this money out later, so that Hong Ji's guys can exchange some food and relieve the people, I don't know if a few can help?" The woman is Liang Shishi, and several scholars can gather here, and they are all coming for her.
"Girl Gaoyi, how can I let the girl underestimate me." Several scholars, have taken out silver, some took the paintings, some simply donated money, Liang Shishi with tears in her eyes, and a few scholars to thank you, this is not the first time, since the price of food rose, she and a few sisters raised money, opened a porridge shop outside the city, and later followed Hong Ji's men out of Beijing, to the surrounding Fuzhou to open a porridge shop, now there is a month, but won the respect of many people, in the eyes of those hungry people, it has become a Bodhisattva-like figure.
At sunset, she returned to the inn in Hong Ji's carriage, her body was extremely tired, and she was about to fall asleep on the bed, but she faintly heard the sound of someone walking downstairs, and then there was the sound of talking, intermittently: "Several landlords around have figured it out, and there is only one named Zhou Yaojun, which should be a side branch of the Zhou family." ”
"Okay, let's do it tomorrow, get ready, Childe said it clearly, try not to hurt people, and do it clean."
"Understand ......"
Liang Shishi woke up suddenly, she remembered the voice clearly, it was Hong Ji's buddy and steward who came with her, as for that Zhou Yaojun, he was a famous landlord within a radius of 100 miles, she had seen it, came to ask for food, and the other party also gave five loads of grain, she had an impression, however, now it seems that Hong Ji intended to attack the other party, and her heart was frightened......
Footsteps sounded on the stairs, someone was going upstairs, and after a while, they came to the door, "Miss Liang, are you sleeping?" Someone was talking outside the house, and Liang Shishi listened, it was the person who was talking downstairs just now......
