Chapter Ninety-One: The Undercurrent in the Weaving Bureau
Suzhou is probably considered a hometown, at least it used to start from here and then go to the capital. [Ran^Text^Library] []
From the day of the castration of the knife, most of the poems and books were all kinds of things from that night, everything turned into an eastward river, and so far they went deep into the inner palace and ate with a mouthful of food, at least it was much better than eating human flesh.
August in Suzhou is relatively quiet, except for the shops everywhere that are a bit of an eyesore, those sour and rotten literati are still more and more unbearable, at least that's what Qi Yao thinks now.
Gently sat up from the recliner, threw the jade Ruyi in his hand aside, sighed lightly, and said, "Shunzi, I seem to be restless these days, what's going on......"
Qi Yao's voice was a little hoarse, not at all like the sound made by his clean face, but his voice was a little sharp, which made people feel very uncomfortable when they heard it.
It's just that for the little eunuch standing on the side, this voice is much more terrifying than any sound in the world, as if it came from hell, which makes him feel cold suddenly.
So he hurriedly stepped forward and gave a salute, and said timidly: "No...... It's nothing, probably because of ...... Because it's too hot......"
"Is it hot?" Qi Yao groaned softly and said in a deep voice: "It's still hot after putting so much ice...... But it's also a little wet, and I'll let you know it later...... Let him put some ice. ”
As he spoke, Qi Yao glanced at the pavilion again, which was already a little deserted, and couldn't help frowning, but when he saw that the little eunuch next to him was already sweating on his forehead, he didn't say anything more.
He slowly raised his sleeves, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead for Shunzi, at first Shunzi dodged slightly, but under Qi Yao's stern gaze, Shunzi had to obey and no longer dodge.
"There's really no need for such restraints...... You and I are family, and you still call me a godfather...... Sit down, sit on the side. Qi Yao sighed and said with a smile: "It's a shame that you kid has me to protect you...... Otherwise, I will go with Gonggong Chen to guard the imperial mausoleum. ”
Shunzi was originally a subordinate of the eunuch Chen Hong, and since Chen Hong was replaced by Meng Chong, he was also cleaned up, if it weren't for Qi Yao's secret help, he would not have escaped to guard the imperial mausoleum.
Junko nodded hurriedly and responded: "Junko remembers the teachings of his godfather, and his godfather's kindness Junzi will not dare to forget it for a moment......"
"That's it." Qi Yao smiled faintly, and suddenly said, "The words from Gonggong Meng's side ...... You're talking about what it means. ”
Junko's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "Junko doesn't dare to ...... Junko is a messenger for her godfather...... Daddy ......"
Qi Yao chuckled lightly, waved his hand and said, "There's nothing you don't dare, isn't it just to send a message to the old man of the high pavilion privately, and Guizi saw it...... It's not a big deal, you go on. ”
Listening to Qi Yao's giggles, Shunzi's heart was already hairy, goosebumps appeared on her body, her back was already soaked with cold sweat, and she couldn't stop shivering as the wind blew.
"Godfather, Junko really didn't mean to...... But it is...... But it's the ...... that the old man confessed."
Qi Yao showed a playful smile on his face, and said softly: "It turned out to be the one that Gao Ge Lao confessed...... I said, Junzi, do you know whose food you eat and who you do for whom? ”
"Shunzi is fully loyal to his godfather......" said this, Shunzi couldn't bear it anymore, and knelt beside Qi Yao with a plop and kowtowed, and his words were already slurred.
Qi Yao didn't support him, let him kowtow like this, but said in his heart: "This is wrong again...... You should be loyal to Grandpa Meng, without Grandpa Meng, there would be no you and me......"
"Yes, Shunzi is loyal to Gonggong Meng...... Junko knew that he was wrong, and his godfather spared his life......" Junko cried, but continued to kowtow.
Qi Yao waved his hand and said, "You know that you are loyal to Gonggong Meng, but why do you ...... Why do you want to send a message to the old man ...... Gaoge?"
The voice was a little tired, and the person who spoke was so tired that he stopped talking halfway through.
However, this is the case, but it makes Junzi even more painful, and the blood on his forehead has long been broken, but it has never stopped, and he muttered in his mouth: "Junko knows that he is wrong, godfather spares his life......"
Qi Yao got up slowly, patted Shunzi on the shoulder, and said lightly: "Think about it, who should I be loyal to......"
After finishing speaking, Qi Yao turned around and walked out of the pavilion, and Shunzi was still kowtowing, and he didn't mean to stop at all.
From the pavilion down to the first floor was a teahouse, and a young eunuch had been waiting for a long time, and the eunuch seemed to be much more shrewd than the upstairs Junko.
Seeing Qi Yao walking downstairs, he hurriedly stepped forward to help, with a smile on his face, and said, "Check it out, although the shop on Yulong Street is called Xing Bake...... But it's not Shen Wuyan's ......"
"It's not Shen Wuyan...... This is strange...... Qi Yao's pupils shrank, and he asked in a deep voice: "What is the specific situation, Guizi, tell me about ......"
The little eunuch named Guizi nodded hurriedly and said, "At first, I thought it was opened by Shen Wuyan, because I saw several shopkeepers on the other side of Daru Lane in the shop...... The girl and the old guy ......"
"It's Yue'er." Qi Yao snorted lightly and said in a deep voice: "This girl has Shen Wuyan's ability, she is really powerful...... You go on, what's so strange. ”
Guizi hurriedly said: "Later, I found out that the owner of this shop was a Suzhou merchant who came back from Liaodong before, and now the shop is dealing in some fur medicinal materials...... But it's also unique, and the business is very good......"
"The quality of the business has nothing to do with you and me, what we want is whether this business is related to Shen Wuyan......" Qi Yao was a little impatient.
Guizi's face suddenly changed slightly, and he continued: "The shopkeeper's name is Zhang Quan, and I think I came here to borrow the name of the eight customers...... Yue'er and Steward Liu are just miscellaneous over there. ”
"Miscellaneous ...... That's right...... Shen Wuyan is really so useless? Qi Yao's heart moved slightly, and then he asked, "What's the situation over there in Daru Lane......
"Daru Alley is now in the hands of that stubborn old man...... I'm afraid I won't last long before I close the door...... Business is really bleak......" Katsura said proudly.
Qi Yao was slightly angry and said, "I said that the quality of business has nothing to do with you and me, what I want is ......."
"This shop is a relic left by Shen Wuyan's father...... Probably not going to sell it. Guizi said busily.
Qi Yao snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "It's still up to you to say this, can I not know?" ”
After pondering for a while, Qi Yao said, "Keep an eye on the side of Yulong Street...... If you have the opportunity, invite that Zhang Quan to have a cup of tea to explore the details...... What's going on on with the Li family? ”
Guizi paused before saying, "The Li family comes to visit the Weaving Bureau every day as usual, and a lot of silver is given...... And the shopkeeper Li was also honest, saying that he had also gone to Governor Xu's mansion......"
"What's the use of looking for Governor Xu?" Qi Yao sneered: "The matter is with his good son-in-law...... offended Gao Ge Lao, but it is difficult to continue the business......"
Guizi nodded and continued, "Guizi has had questions...... The silk of the Li family is indeed superior, if the father-in-law does not follow the silk here...... How does the Weaving Bureau explain to the Inner Library......"
Qi Yao smiled faintly, sighed, and said, "If you can't explain, you won't explain...... What you should be worried about is that he has really passed this shipment, who should I give this goods to...... There isn't so much to use in the inner library. ”
Guizi's face changed suddenly, he finally knew why the palace wanted so much silk this year, and this Gonggong Qi didn't seem to care about whether this batch of silk could be delivered.
Thinking about this, Guizi also understood what was going on with this Qi Gonggong, so his heart was already fluctuating.
Qi Yao didn't expect that the seemingly calm little eunuch next to him would think so much, he just waved his hand, put his hands behind his back, and walked straight out of the tearoom, just said, "Shunzi is still upstairs...... I'll go to Daru Alley, and you can take over the affairs of Shunzi in the future. ”
In the past, Qi Yao was respected in the weaving bureau, and under Qi Yao was Shunzi, Guizi also knew that Shunzi was Qi Yao's godson, so no matter how the other party humiliated himself, he didn't dare to say much, even if the two had the same identity.
Hearing this sentence at this time, Guizi already understood that Shunzi probably made Qi Yao unhappy, but now he is reducing this benefit to himself.
I didn't expect good luck to come so suddenly, and a moment ago, I was still investigating the news under the scorching sun, and at this time I took over Junzi's class and ranked second in the Weaving Bureau.
Seeing Qi Yao walk out of the pavilion, Guizi immediately jumped up and down and walked towards the second floor, with indescribable excitement in his heart.
Walking up the stairs, you can hear the sound of a knock, Guizi's heart moved, and when she approached the pavilion, she saw Junko, who had already broken her head and was bleeding.
Seeing that the other party was so down, Guizi couldn't say anything in his heart, so he walked over slowly, chuckled, and said, "Yo, this is not a straight child...... Why, that's what it's doing. ”
Seeing the other party so proud, Junzi already knows why, after all, he was so proud back then, but what can he do, he is already lucky to be alive.
Seeing that the other party didn't answer him, Guizi bent down slightly, patted Junko's shoulder, and chuckled: "Come on, don't knock...... My father-in-law has long since left. ”
Junko hesitated slightly, then collapsed on the ground, leaned back in her chair, and chuckled, "Don't be complacent...... Sooner or later, sooner or later, you will be like me...... Not even as good as me. ”
"But so what...... It's not of much use. Guizi smiled sarcastically, patted Junzi's bloodstained face, and smiled: "There are several new jade dew ...... over there in Xiangfang in recent days."
Junzi's face changed suddenly, and the anger at that time turned to flattery now, and he hurriedly said: "I'll go buy ...... for Brother Guizi."
"Yo, don't......" Although Guizi said this, he didn't stop Junzi, but just said: "I should call you Brother Shunzi is ......"
Shunzi didn't say much, even though his heart was like a knife, he still smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's still a smooth ...... for Brother Guizi."
Guizi just chuckled, then stood up, looked at Junko in the distance, and smiled proudly.
