Chapter 82: Yellow Rice and White Rice
In front of the tent of the first division of the Shenji Left Sentry Battalion, six red lights went down from the pole and illuminated brightly.
General Bao Shen and Liu Dusi stood in front of the tent with their helmets and armor, and behind them followed several guards of the first division, Qianzong, and saw a group of people coming from the direction of the big camp from a distance.
Bao Shen will be full of spring breeze and will not care about the eyes of others. This person is brave and good at fighting, and he has been promoted to a high level, but he is the most narrow-minded and will be repaid, where can he allow others to rebel? However, when he thought of Yang Ling's expression of wanting to cry without tears after tonight, he was happy in his heart, and his cozy attitude at this time was not humiliating.
Yang Ling took Yang Yiqing and Man Cang'er, a total of 20 personal guards, and jumped off the horse in front of the tent. In order to cater to Yang Ling, the generals in the camp at this time were also wearing helmets and armor, as if they were about to charge.
But at this time, Yang Ling was dressed in a Confucian shirt, and he didn't even bring a sword, and stepped forward lightly, not getting dusty, and the two streamers behind the Confucian crown were flying, indescribably handsome, and at this moment Bao Qian Chen led more than a dozen generals in heavy armor and stumbling in battle robes to greet him, as if it was a princely school parade of the three armies, and the momentum was suddenly three points shorter, and General Bao only said that Yang Ling was innocent and teased him, and his heart was even more angry.
Yang Ling saw that the generals were in armor, and he was a little strange in his heart, is it so grand to drink and eat in the army, why is there no one wearing civilian clothes. Before thinking about it, General Bao and Liu Dusi had already stepped forward to salute, and Yang Ling hurriedly took a step forward to help him up and said: "Colleagues, please hurry up, they are all their own brothers, they say that they will meet each other, why bother to pay respects?" ”
General Bao Shen put on a smile on his face and said: "Your Excellency is inaugurated, the last general and the official in the camp have not set up wine to wash the dust for adults, tonight the moon is clear and the wind is clear, and the light is good, it is rare for Liu Dusi to set up a wine banquet to invite adults, we are not drunk and have no home."
Yang Ling replied with a smile, his eyes glanced at Liu Dusi, and saw that he looked nervous, his face was forced to be happy, but a pair of eyes kept looking at General Bao, and couldn't help but secretly mention a little caution.
In just two days of contact, he already knew that Bao Shenjiang was stubborn and self-serving, and there was no one in his eyes, and now Liu Dusi's demeanor was unnatural, but it was also in line with his mentality at this time, why was Bao Shenjiang so enthusiastic and calm, without the embarrassment of being forced to bow his head?
It seems that tonight's banquet may not be so simple, Yang Ling looked back at Yang Yiqing meaningfully, Yang Yiqing nodded slightly without a trace, waved his hand, and twenty personal soldiers stood under the tent, holding the reins of the horse, not moving an inch, Yang Ling was full of smiles, and Bao Shen put his arm into the account.
******************************
In the general's mansion, the young lady and the three daughters of Yutang Chun have cleared out half a bag of accounts. Xue Limei looked at the account books that had been cleaned up, put down the brush, rubbed her wrist and said with a smile: "Sister Young Lady, let's rest for a while, look at this, I'm afraid I have to clean it up for three or two days, and I'm not in a hurry."
Han Youniang was picking up the account books, and when she heard this, she straightened up, gently beat her waist with a small hand, and said, "But what about it, just after eating, I bothered the three younger sisters to clean up again." My family is careless, and I didn't say that I would come to see you, but I went to the banquet of General Bao, I really can't help it."
Yutang Chun quickly opened the four teacups, the tea flowed, half a drop did not leak, poured a cup and handed it to the young lady, half-jokingly said: "I think Lord Yang is very afraid of being with us, he is a dignified general, is he still afraid of our woman?" ”
Han Youniang looked at her with a half-frowning eyebrow, that kind of low and wandering expression, clearly revealing a bit of resentment, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "I'm afraid that these three girls will be wrong, and treat me like a concubine and housewife, how can I not notice it?"
It's all to blame for the prince's confused order, now the three eldest girls are in my house, and I don't know when the prince will take a fairy girl into the palace, and how will these two girls be placed at that time? ”
She took the cup and saw Yutang's fingers like spring onions, her skin was warm and transparent under the light, like beautiful jade, not only her skin was white and greasy like jade, but the book-like elegant breath made her beautiful and refined, like a fairy. The young lady didn't feel a little strange, among these three girls, in terms of appearance, this jade sister is obviously more than Xue Limei and Tang Yixian, and her surname is Ge Wenjing, quite a big demeanor, how can the prince have a soft spot for Miss Tang?
Seeing Yutangchun's faint and resentful eyes staring at her, Xue Limei next to her also quietly pricked up her ears to listen, and the young lady had to say vaguely: "A few sisters are as beautiful as fairies, and a man will be uncomfortable when he gets close. ”
Xue Limei couldn't help but blushed and said: "We are all women with thin lives, where is it better than my sister's good fortune, Lord Yang is already a member of the third grade of the imperial court before the weak crown, and it must not be difficult to open a mansion and build a government in the future, and it must not be difficult to break the soil and seal the marquis, and at that time my sister will be a first-class fate."
We are really grateful in our hearts, and we are willing to be a servant girl, but the lord does not say a word now, the name of this master and servant has not been decided earlier, and we don't know what to call it when we see the adults. ”
Listening to her tone, it was clear that she couldn't wait for the young lady to clarify their identities, Han Youniang was angry and funny, she glanced at the little girl, and said coquettishly: "you, it's good, if Xianggong hadn't seen you being bullied, how would he invite the three of you back." Do Yahuan? How much money does my family burn, spend 10,000 taels of silver to buy a girl? ”
Spending a lot of money is not buying a girl, what is it to buy? Han Youniang's words, Yutangchun and Xue Limei listened to them, and they were overjoyed, and the two girls quietly glanced at each other, and their faces were full of joy: Today, I finally got the young lady's letter, and I no longer have to lie on the bed in the middle of the night and guess the adult's mind nervously, the words of the young lady's sister are more effective than the holy decree in Lord Yang's heart.
Xue Limei took a sip of tea and hurriedly took a sip, immediately rolled up her sleeves, revealing her well-proportioned and white wrists, and grinded the inkstone vigorously and said: "Sister, let's work harder, and strive to clean up a bag tonight, and find evidence as soon as possible, so that our master can rectify the old abalone who is not eye-opening."
Yutangchun drank the tea and ran over like a butterfly and squatted on the ground to sort out the account book, Han Youniang was puzzled, seeing that only Tang Yixian did not move, she turned her eyes to see her sitting at the table, her two delicate eyebrows twisted and crooked, staring at the account book in her hand and pondering, as if she had not heard them speak at all.
She poked her blow on her blown face with the pen in her hand, and suddenly shook her head and said to herself: "No, this account must be wrong."
The young lady hurriedly walked over and said, "Xian'er, but what did you find?" ”
Tang Yixian pointed to the account book and said, "Sister, do you see anything wrong with this account?" ”
Han Youniang looked at it carefully and said strangely: "Isn't it just a book that records the purchase of charcoal!" Is something wrong, this military camp is built on the mountain, some firewood is available, what to do with charcoal? ”
Tang Yixian laughed twice, and said triumphantly: "This is not a problem, the senior officials in the camp, charcoal must be used for heating, drinking, eating and eating shabu-shabu in the tent, sister guess again."
She dialed it a little, and the young lady also found the problem, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Something is wrong, it is indeed wrong, there must be something wrong with this account book."
Hearing this, Yutangchun and Xue Limei hurriedly came over and asked, "What did you find?" Show me."
Han Youniang pointed to the page and said: "You see, this account records that in May last year, 500 catties of charcoal were purchased, and the following is the expenditure situation, and then look here, on August 14, another 700 catties of charcoal were purchased, why should it be used in winter, but so much in spring and summer?" ”
Yutangchun looked at it and said: "It's a little strange, and his miscellaneous things are all recorded in a big account, why is this charcoal alone reading the power account?" However, the amount of silver taels recorded in the account is not large, so what are these pennies? ”。
Tang Yixian sat on the chair, shook his head and said, "Don't you smell white rice and yellow rice?" ”
Yutangchun and Xue Limei heard the cry of Qi Qi and said, "Yes, this is not impossible. ”
The white rice and yellow rice case was only a few years ago, and this matter was famous and well-known at that time, and the young lady didn't know about it, but Yutangchun and Xue Limei knew.
At that time, Li Guang, the eunuch favored by Emperor Hongzhi, died of illness, Hongzhi superstition that he had the art of immortality, and went to his house to search in brocade clothes, but found out this account book, recording the amount of yellow and white rice in the family. At that time, Emperor Hongzhi was puzzled, and he was still wondering why Li Guang's family had a small population and how he bought so much rice and grain. After the minister's explanation, he realized that it meant the amount of gold and silver, and in a fit of rage, he ordered someone to raid his home.
Xue Limei said excitedly: "Yes, the price is not accurate, one tael can refer to a hundred taels, a thousand taels, but what does this charcoal refer to?" ”
Tang Yixian snatched the account book, put it in his arms like a baby, and his face turned red with excitement: "This, when I tell Lord Yang, he will naturally be able to find out." Yutangchun and Xue Limei looked at her as if they were afraid that others would rob her of her credit, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.
At this moment, a gloomy voice smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Lord Yang won't understand this matter."
