Chapter 322: Qi Pole
The little servant came back and said, "The prince is reconciling." ”
Zeng Wu raised his foot and gave it to the little servant: "I don't know that the prince is reconciling yet!" Who is the prince reconciling with? When does reconciliation start? What is the income of Guangdong Thirteen Banks? You won't use your brains to ask. It's really a tung oil lamp, dial it and light it up! ”
The little guy covered his kicked thigh and muttered: "Even Grandpa Guo doesn't know what the income of the Thirteen Banks of Guangdong is, I, how can I know?" ”
"Call you stupid, you dare to talk back!" Zeng Wu gave the little guy another kick, "You won't see if the prince is happy or unhappy?" No wonder I haven't grown up after being a little girl for a few years! Why don't you go and inquire again! ”
The little guy didn't dare to reply, and limped to Yizhitang.
Zeng Wu dusted off his sleeves and muttered in his heart: I'm not Lu Zheng's idiot, I actually sent it to the door to fight the prince?
Thinking that Lu Zheng could only eat in the account room and wait for death from now on, he was full of ambition for no reason, and grabbed a passing maid: "Go, make me a cup of big red robe." ”
The maid glanced at him and said, "The big red robe is a tribute, and it can only be used when ordered by the grandfather of the country." ”
Zeng Wu sneered: "It's just that Grandpa Guo wants to drink it." If you don't believe it, go and ask Grandpa Guo. ”
The maid's face turned red, even if she knew that he was a fox and a fake tiger, she didn't dare to question Song Yichun, and went to the teahouse with her head down to make him a pot of big red robes.
He sat on the Taishi chair in the tea room and slowly tasted the tea, and learned that the obedient little guy finally had something to say this time: "It is Zhong Bingxiang, the big shopkeeper of the thirteenth general manager of Guangdong, and the head of the grange, which has been open for five days, and the prince is very happy, and he also held a banquet in the Zuixian Building last night, and entertained those shopkeepers and the head of the village." ”
Zeng Wu was a little distracted when he heard this.
In the past, when the British Mansion and Yi Zhitang were not separated, the treasurer Zhong came to Kyoto from Guangdong every year to reconcile accounts. will bring some small things to these maids and little maids, even in the pawnshop on East Street, they can also be used as a tael of silver. But since the people of Yizhitang did not eat in the same pot as the people of the British Mansion, they could no longer see the things of the shopkeeper Zhongda.
It's all cheap for those things in Yizhitang!
He was jealous and envious. I thought that one year, Lu Zheng took 200 taels of silver to entrust Bingxiang to Guangdong to buy shares, and in the second year, 200 taels of silver became 1,200 taels of silver. When he looked at it, he was moved, but he didn't have any money in his hand. It's just salivating. Can ...... now Yesterday, I followed Grandpa Guo to the Drunken Immortal Building for entertainment, and the chief soldier rewarded himself with five taels of silver; Two days ago, Grandpa Guo wanted to eat sesame and zhi cake, and he ran away and dropped two coins of silver...... He has only been able to serve the grandfather for seven or eight days, and he already has a dozen taels of silver in his hand. Although it is not as good as Lu Zheng, it is not less, so it is better to ask Zhong Bingxiang to enter that stock.
I just don't know if Chong Bingxiang is willing to help with this now?
He thought about it and went to Song Yichun: "The prince is reconciling with the shopkeeper Zhong of the Thirteen Banks in Guangdong, and the heads of other granges have also arrived. Although I don't know how much Yizhitang has earned this year, the prince is very happy, and yesterday he invited Zhong Da Shopkeeper and others to drink in Zuixianlou. ”
Song Yichun was talking to the head of Tianjin Wei's Zhuang: "The mountains and forests in Tunkou all earned two thousand taels of silver last year. Why is it only eight hundred taels this year? ”
Listening to Zeng Wu's words, a fire rose in his heart, and he couldn't stop rubbing it up.
He picked up the handkerchief and smashed it on the head of Tianjin Weizhuang: "Idiot, I won't answer what I ask you." What do you want you to do? ”
Suddenly, the Zhuang Tou of Tianjin Wei was so frightened that his legs were like chaff, and he knelt down with a plop: "Grandpa Guo is angry, and the wind and rain were smooth last year." This summer there were strong winds and some trees were uprooted – not as many this year as there were last year. The revenue is not as much as last year. ”
Why is there a strong wind blowing in his mountains and forests, and Song Mo's thirteen lines are calm, and there is not even a tornado all year round.
Song Yichun's face was iron-blue, but the corner of his eyes inadvertently glanced at the pottery heavy face-a trace of surprise flashed in the pottery heavy's eyes. Song Yichun is a suspicious person, looking at the sudden burst in his heart, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Come on", and pointed to the head of Tianjin Wei's Zhuang, "Drag me down to beat the twenty boards for this nonsense-filled thing, I don't think he will tell the truth!" ”
When the Zhuang Tou of Tianjin Wei heard this, his whole body softened on the ground, crying and shouting "spare his life": "It's not a strong wind, it's a small one who wants to please Grandpa Guo, last year he sold all the trees that could be sold, and this year there are only some small saplings left, and they can't be sold...... I'm not lying, if Grandpa Guo doesn't believe it, you can ask Liu Da, he knows best. ”
Liu Da is the former head of Tianjin Wei, Song Yichun was not satisfied with Tianjin Wei's income, and the personal servant recommended his cousin, he looked at this person and said the truth, so he asked him to replace Liu Da...... I didn't expect it to be a guy on paper!
He was so angry that people trembled, and stepped forward and kicked the head of the village a few times: "Get out of here!" Don't let me see you again! ”
Zhuang Tou stumbled to his feet and ran out with a frightened face on his face.
Pottery Chong couldn't help but cough softly.
Song Yichun came to his senses and hurriedly called the servants around him: "Throw that guy into the firewood room for me, and if you don't explain the accounts clearly, you will send it directly to the yamen." ”
Several guards waiting outside the guard rushed up and dragged the head of the village away.
Zeng Wu looked at it and shrunk his shoulders.
Song Yichun was no longer in the mood to continue to reconcile, waved his hand, and drove everyone away.
Grandpa Guo said that the wind is rain, and he has to save some silver while he is still by Grandpa Guo's side, even if he is down, he will not be poor.
Zeng Wu thought about it for a while, and called a confidant: "You go and see what the shopkeeper Zhong is doing?" ”
The little guy quietly left. At noon, I came to call him back: "The affairs of the shopkeeper Zhong are over, and he only talks and chats with people in the side hall every day, and the prince is reconciling with the heads of several granges." ”
Zeng Wu decided to go to see Zhong Bingxiang now, if he waited until the evening, maybe he didn't see him, but he was handed over to Grandpa Guo by the people of Yizhitang.
The porter of Yi Zhitang stopped him at the door with a smile: "Who is Fifth Master Zeng looking for?" Shall we let you know? You're a guest! ”
Zeng Wu didn't dare to put on a score in front of the concierge of Yizhitang, and said with a flattering smile: "Look at what my brother said, I am a distinguished guest, but I am just an errand ...... in front of the grandfather of the country."
The porter was preparing to communicate with him. I saw Zhong Bingxiang and Chen Qushui talking and laughing and walking towards this side.
Zeng Wu's eyes almost fell off.
He subconsciously wanted to dodge, and said hurriedly: "Since the shopkeeper Zhong has a guest, then I'll talk about it later." Then he ran away.
But when he turned into the woods, he immediately stopped, and without thinking, he went into the woods.
Through the tall bushes, Zeng Wu saw Zhong Bingxiang and Chen Qushui standing on the steps of the gate of Yizhitang, glancing casually in the direction he ran away, and talking with a smile.
Not for a while. A carriage drove in.
A young man of twenty years old came out of the carriage.
Zhong Bingxiang and Chen Qushui saw it and greeted them.
Chen Qushui introduced the young man to Zhong Bingxiang.
The young man respectfully saluted Zhong Bingxiang.
Zhong Bingxiang hurriedly took the man and said something to Chen Qushui with a smile.
Five or six small men jumped out of the carriage behind the young man, and carried down several camphor wood boxes.
Chen Qushui, Zhong Bingxiang, and the young man walked towards Yizhitang.
A few servants carried the box and followed.
The figure of the group soon disappeared at the side door of Yizhitang.
Zeng Wu's eyes turned quickly, and he took a path out of the British mansion. Pretending to have just come in from outside, he approached the carriage parked next to Yizhitang, and asked curiously the coachman who was giving Ma Shunmao: "Hey, which house are you from?" How to stop here? ”
The coachman spoke in tongues: "We have come from the truth." Shopkeeper Zhao ordered to rest here. ”
Really?
Madame's maiden home!
Zeng Wu thought of the two boxes of silver tickets that Dou Zhao married, and then thought of the boxes that were carried in, he couldn't help but tremble, and wanted to ask again, but saw the porter of Yi Zhitang walking over with a teapot and a teacup. He hurriedly snorted twice, burrowed into the woods next to him, and ran into the flower hall of the Xiangyuan on a rampage.
"Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Guo." He pretended to be babbling and shouted, "I saw a guest coming to Yizhitang!" ”
Song Yichun was stunned: "What are you shouting?" There are no rules at all. ”
Zeng Wu was busy and saluted respectfully.
Song Yichun said: "What's wrong?" ”
Zeng Wu took a few steps forward and said in a low voice: "Grandpa Guo, just now I was going to inquire about Yizhitang's reconciliation. Who knew that Mr. Chen, who used to live in Yizhitang, welcomed a strange young man in with the shopkeeper Zhong, and the man also brought several boxes over. ”
Song Mo was rescued. So far, only Song Yichun, Tao Chong and Chang Wei know about the British Mansion. Zeng Wu just felt that Chen Qushui's appearance was very abrupt and weird, and he didn't think of anything else.
Song Yichun's expression fused: "Chen Bo and Chen Bingxiang welcomed a young man in together?" ”
A trace of cunning flew under Zeng Wu's eyes, and he said, "I also inquired clearly, the man's surname is Zhao, he is from Zhending, and he is the mother's family...... Those boxes are camphor wood boxes, which are used to put books, silver tickets, and insect-proof camphor wood boxes. ”
Song Yichun also thought of the two boxes of silver tickets that Dou Zhao married.
His face became very ugly.
Dou family, what do you want to do?
Song Yichun called the pottery to come over.
Tao said with a heavy headache: "Grandpa Guo might as well invite the prince to ask clearly-if those boxes are filled with silver tickets, with the prince of the world, he will not deny it." If we inquire, we may not be able to inquire. ”
What does it mean to "not necessarily be able to inquire"?
Song Yichun was so angry that his mouth was crooked, but there was no better way, so he had to order Tao Chong: "You went and invited the prince to come over!" ”
That's the idea of whoever came up with it!
Pottery smiled bitterly.
Zhong Bingxiang jumped up from the Taishi chair, pointed to a few mouthfuls of camphor wood incense in the flower hall, and said with a stammer: "This, what is this?" ”
