Chapter 24: Conspiracy with the Son, Love with You (3)

The dispute is over, in Zhou Zhuang, the two people in the study are the guest of honor, and the main seat is Zhou Yaojun, the head of the Zhou family, dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding a tea cup in his hand, and the other person is Ye Qing, the new director of the Zhou family. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Since Zhou Yaojun returned to Zhouzhuang, everything was handed over to Ye Qing, and he didn't interfere much with what the other party did, especially the Zhou family's granary was all handed over, but Ye Qing wrote down the things one by one, and all the money was handed over to Zhou Yaojun.

"According to the prior agreement, the grain in the granary is almost sold, and the grain you want is almost shipped, when are you going to leave?" Zhou Yaojun took a sip of tea, looked at Ye Qing, and smiled at the other party.

"Thank you Master Zhou for taking care of you, things are going well, and when the last cart of grain is gone, we should go." He didn't hide it, since the incident in the ancestral hall that day, the relationship between them has become much simpler, Ye Qing is sophisticated, because of his operation, all the grain sold is eaten by grain merchants at a high price, and there is no substantial loss to the Zhou family, and Zhou Yaojun also knows this.

Ye Qing put down the teacup, "I think the Zhou family in Shangjing should have already gotten the news, and the Yan Mansion should also know it, what difficulties does Master Zhou have?" ”

"Hehe, although they are all surnamed Zhou, but we are a side branch here, and we can't manage it in Beijing, as for Yanfu, hmph, I don't care." Zhou Yaojun looked indifferent, the Zhou family has been operating here for many years, and several officials around him have also taken care of it properly, Yan Xiang is not as good as before, so he is naturally not too worried.

Ye Qing nodded: "Since that's the case, then I'll leave first." ”

Watching the other party leave, Zhou Yaojun couldn't help sighing, from Sun Gui to the current Ye Qing, he was more and more full of doubts and puzzles about Hong Ji, although they were all businessmen, but the other party's means and resourcefulness were something he had never seen before, and what made him care more was that the other party only sold all the grain in the granary, and did not put or resell the grain as he thought, nor did he get more benefits from the Zhou family, and the relationship between them made him guess, the grain has been sold one after another for nearly half a month, Although the price of food has not fallen, he already knows that several grains in the vicinity are already saturated, and only the last 'straw' is missing.

Farther away in Shangjing, the intoxicating building is still lively, but in the small building called 'Heaven' in the backyard, it looks a little gloomy at the moment, and letters from various state capitals have been delivered here one after another in the past two days, and they have all been thrown on the bookcase by Yan Fan.

"Childe, something is strange, there are people in several state capitals who have shipped one after another, although it seems that it has not affected the price of grain now, but we really have too much in our hands, many of them are eaten at a high price......" Fu Bo put down the account in his hand, his face couldn't help but be a little worried, seeing that it was about to enter May, it should be time for rice planting in the south, because of Fang La, the grain in the south this year must not be guaranteed, and most of the grain in the north is in their hands, it was originally a profitable business, but the situation has been summarized in various places recently, always made him faintly aware of some kind of abnormality.

"Fu Bo doesn't have to worry too much, yesterday there was news from the internal guard, Fang La's momentum is flourishing, and he will never be suppressed in a short time, how can there be extra food? The following people probably also want to make some small profits, don't worry about them, in a few days the northwest should urge the army to eat, and it will not be in these days. Yan Fan glanced at the letters stacked on the bookcase, and picked out one of them, which was written about Zhouzhuang a few days ago, he glanced at it, his face was full of disdain, several big clans had been firmly tied up by him, although Zhouzhuang's change was sudden, but he was sure to control it, thinking that he would clean it up in a few days.

The old man on the side looked at Yan Fan's expression, looked down at the accounts in his hand, and finally pressed the doubts in his heart, and the next few days things were similar to Yan Fan's expectations, there were still people in various states who sold grain one after another, but they were all scattered, several grain merchants used funds to buy goods in the overall situation, but in two or three days, the grain on the market was swept away, the price of grain was still high, and the whole north was still hungry.

In the middle of May, the northwest Li He urged Liang's recital to finally enter Beijing, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, the prince in the palace is even more scolding, several old ministers also entered the imperial city overnight, kneeling outside the Dan room and crying, Yuan Hongji then made a will, let Yan Xiang enter the palace, as soon as the news came out, there was an uproar, but there was no sound in the prince's mansion.

On the second day of Yan Xiang's entry into the palace, Yan Fan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the sedan chair passed through the street, which made many people see clearly along the way, and when the news reached the Prince's Mansion, it was another burst of scolding.

On the banks of the Shuangyue River, on the Moon Tower, what happened in Beijing for a few days seems to have become the focus of everyone's conversation, the original voices of the prince's praise of virtue gradually disappeared, but the voice of Yan Xiang in power became louder and louder, and there were people in the building several times who quarreled about this, Ying Hongsleeve didn't care, a few scholars quarreled, at most they greeted each other's ancestors for eighteen generations, and then hit a few cups and dishes in a hurry, which was also naïve in her opinion.

And in the past few days, Yan Fan has not sent news for a long time, and Li Huai has not sent a letter, but she has been idle.

I took a nap at noon, the sun was slanting in the west, the room was already a little dim, Ying Hongsleeves held a cup of hot tea, with a sleepy face standing by the windowsill on one side, looking at the willows by the river from a distance, but I could think of someone running there, I couldn't help but smile a little, at this time, someone behind me spoke, "What are you laughing at?" ”

The voice was very sudden, she couldn't help but be startled, the tea cup in her hand fell to the ground, and as soon as she turned her head, the young man in her original memory sat on the chair behind him, still with a smile on his face, dragging his chin with one hand, and looked here, "Long time no see!" ”

"Long time no see!" Ying Hongsleeves responded in a daze, and only reacted after a while, knowing that everything was real, she looked at the other party's smiling face, and then looked at the thin clothes on her body, her face couldn't help but blush, and she screamed, and rushed back to the room.

Waiting for the door to open again, Ying Hongsleeve's face returned to its original state, and she sat opposite the young man with a big grin, "When did you come back?" How can you enter someone's room without knocking? ”

"Aren't you already my man? Why did you come back and knock on the door? The young man is Li Huai, Ying Hongsleeves didn't expect the other party to say this, so she remembered the relationship between the two, and then looked at each other, the northwest trip for a few months, the originally immature face is also a lot more vicissitudes at the moment, the skin looks a lot rougher, and the height has grown a lot, but the smile on the face is still like that.

"Hmph, you've been gone for so long, and you haven't written back, and now you're suddenly back, it's sweet, what do you want to do?" Ying Hongsleeves looked at the other party, but he was thinking about the other party's thoughts, and when the situation in Beijing changed, he suddenly appeared, thinking that everything was related.

Li Huai naturally knew Ying Hongsleeve's thoughts, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he touched the other party's face, the woman was as delicate as water, and when Li Huai was suddenly 'attacked', her face was hot, and her mind was suddenly confused, "What about Tianxiang?" ”

"She'......"

"You go to her, I have something to tell you......"

In the twilight of May, with some warm winds, some warm feelings also surged in the woman's heart......
