When the sun set, Yinzhen returned to the courtyard from outside, Ka Ludai stood in the middle of the courtyard, waiting for his return, Huang A and tortoiseshell prepared a delicious meal, ready for Yinzhen to return, and would directly start eating dinner.

On the dining table, there are two hot pots, one is a traditional hot pot, the lamb slices are thin, the bottom of the pot is only large storage ginger slices, longan, jujubes, and the other pot is a stewed seafood pot.

Yin Zhen looked at the hot pot and shook his head helplessly: "It's not good to eat hot pot all the time, why do you eat hot pot with seafood again?" ”

After arriving in the south, Kaludai often eats seafood pot, which is close to the sea, and there is a lot of seafood to use.

"Master, Jiufujin sent a box today, I must hand it over to you personally, I will think, it is best to use hot pot, and there can be a few more people around to protect the box." Kaludai was a little distrustful of the servants who served in the courtyard, and among these people there was obviously the eyeliner of the courtiers from the south.

When Jiufujin came over, the box he was holding in his hand was a bit like the box on his head, and Kalu Dai was thinking about the box, and he opened his eyes at all.

"I'll take it to the study later." After Yinzhen ate the hot pot, his whole body was a little hot, and it was no longer cold. "Prepare more charcoal fires, although the temperature in the south is not low, it is very humid, and in winter, it will definitely be even more humid."

Kalu Dai bowed his head: "I have already instructed the minions to buy charcoal, and the other courtyard has begun to buy things for the winter, master, can you take a look at the list again?" ”

Yinzhen took Kaludai to the study and even handed over the box to Yinzhen.

"Phoenix, have you seen what's inside?" Yin Zhen asked.

Kaludai shook his head, these were to be handed over to Yinzhen personally, Kaludai understood the importance of the things inside.

"Master, is there something missing inside?" Ka Lu Dai found that Yinzhen opened it and saw the contents inside, and his face changed a little.

Yin Zhen shook his head: "Come here." ”

In the courtyard to the south, only the two of them are the masters, and when he goes out on errands, Kaludai will be in charge alone.

Ka Lu Dai walked to his side and sat down, and found that inside the box were folded folds, Yinzhen took out a copy, opened it and reviewed it.

"You take it, I'll have a question for you later." Yin Zhen said.

Kaludai's face was wrinkled, and he didn't run away in the end, but he was still looking at it with a fold, which was a detailed record of the actions of the officials and relatives in the south.

Although the female dependents rarely participated in the affairs of the previous dynasty, most of the female dependents in the front yard did it.

A little later, Yinzhen quickly read the news inside, and his face became more and more bad, the Cao family and the Li family were just a role model, and in the official mansions in the south, there were a few people who did not raise thin horses, and in order to obtain more support, they continued to send a large number of tributes to the capital every year.

Suo Xiang and Ming Xiang's mansions are all hard-hit areas, and they will use Suo Xiang to send silver and tribute to the prince's Yuqing Palace.

"Phoenix, can you handle these women?" Yin Zhen looked at Ka Lu Dai and asked.

Kaludai rolled up his handkerchief, and his face showed a look of fear, and the more he understood the situation of the female dependents, he felt a little powerless.

"Master, if you have to face it, I can still do it, and I will give you some support." Kaludai took a deep breath and said directly.

After looking at it, Yin Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "From tomorrow, you and the ninth brother and sister will meet these people together." ”

There were already a lot of invitations sent to the mansions of the two masters, and Yinzhen and Yinzhen withheld these invitations one after another, hoping to minimize the chance of meeting with the officials and relatives in the south.

Giving away is the first step, and near the end of the year, sending things and silver is the top priority.

"Phoenix, when you see these people, all the red envelopes and New Year's gifts can't be wanted, if you can't refuse, you will also have a New Year's gift at a higher price." Yinzhen taught Kaludai.

After the gold festival, the temperature in the south slowly got colder, and there was a clear difference between the cold in the south and the north, and the courtiers in the south found that Yinzhen and Yinzhen had not returned to Beijing, and they were very happy in their hearts, and they all looked at the two elder brothers who could take care of them, at least there was a shortcut.

"Master, I know." Kaludai nodded.

Entering November, each hall in the annex was lit with silver silk carbon, and the hall was burned very warm, Yinzhen took out all the cloaks, although the temperature was not very low, it felt colder than in the north.

Just after breakfast, Huang Ah walked in, Jiufujin came, Kaludai tried to think about it, and he didn't receive an invitation today.

"Fourth sister-in-law, please save me." Jiufujin's face was full of frustration, yesterday he didn't pay attention, and the minions below found that under the things given by the Wei family, there was actually half a box of gold ingots.

After listening to Jiufujin's words, Ka Ludai instantly felt a chill all over his body.

"What's wrong with the Ninth Master?" Kaludai looked at Jiufujin and asked.

"The master hasn't come back yet, I went with the fourth brother to inspect the store yesterday." Jiu Fu Jin frowned, "I want to return the gift today, I don't have so many gold ingots on hand." ”

Yinzhen is the same as Yinzhen, before leaving, he explained to Jiufujin, and he must give gifts one by one.

Jiufujin repeatedly told the minions, telling them to be cautious and register all the things they sent.

"Wait for the master and the ninth master to come back, calculate the time, and you should come back before lunch." Kaludai Dao.

Jiufujin nodded frustratedly: "Fourth sister-in-law, if the master reprimands me, you want it, the person I met with you yesterday." ”

"The ninth master is in business, so he will send half a box of gold ingots, which can be regarded as his favorite. Here's half a box of silver ingots. "Kaludai has counted the silver, and there will be a higher-class silver ticket to pay it back.

What the?!

Jiufujin exclaimed in surprise, the two of them were measured, but they were still calculated.

"Fourth sister-in-law, we must condemn it." Jiufujin was annoyed.

Ka Lu Dai nodded, and before the two could discuss a solution, the figures of Yin Zhen and Yin Yu appeared in the courtyard, and Ka Lu Dai's heart warmed, and he hurriedly walked out of the main hall.

"Say hello to the master, please say hello to the ninth master." Kaludai's eyes turned a little red, "Ye is back." ”

During the two days that Yinzhen was not in the mansion, the officials and their relatives sent things to the other courtyard as if they had discussed it, which made her a little busy.

Jiufujin stood not far away and had already begun to complain.

Yin Zhen looked at the Ninth Master, and hurriedly asked Ka Lu Dai: "Phoenix, something happened?" ”

Ka Lu Dai nodded: "Master, me and you...."

Kaludai has performed the officials and their relatives in the past two days, and there are some over-the-top gift lists.

"Why did the ninth brother and sister come over?" Yin Zhen said curiously.

Uh-uh!

Ka Lu Dai was embarrassed, Jiufu Jin was here to discuss, and it was not clear whether he could let Yinzhen know the specific situation.

After breakfast the next day, Yinzhen was waiting in the main hall, listening to Kaludai reciting Mongolian, Su Peisheng walked in from outside, and after saluting, he lowered his voice and told Yinzhen that Yinzhen and Jiufujin were coming.

"Phoenix, you go to the study with you, and you will accompany the ninth brother and sister for a while." Yin Zhen looked at Kalu Dai Dao.

A slight smile appeared on Kaludai's face: "Yes! ”

The two walked into the study one after the other, and Ka Lu Dai saw that Jiufu Jin was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, his face was a little gloomy, and Jiu Ye was walking back and forth anxiously.

"Lao Jiu!" Yin Zhen's thin lips said lightly, "Sit down!" ”

In Wairao's eyes, the princes are all calm and calm, and Yinyu's actions are obviously unstable.

"Fourth brother, your eyebrows are already burning, why aren't you worried at all?" Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen and smiled bitterly, "The Cao family, the Li family, and the salt merchants in the south have joined forces, recently, the price of salt on the street has doubled several times a day, and if it goes on like this, how can we explain to Khan Ama!" ”

After Yinzhen sat down, the brown Danfeng looked at Yinzhen: "There is nothing wrong now, and you are starting to be anxious?" The salt merchants can't get out of the salt of Lianghuai, so who will be in a hurry? ”

"Fourth brother, I'm thinking about whether to let the shops below do it." Yin Yu said directly.

Yin Zhen waved his hand: "The key is to watch their movements." ”

As soon as the words fell, Su Peisheng walked in from outside and told Yinzhen that the wife of the Yu family, a salt merchant, had come over to ask for peace to Fang Fujin.

Ka Lu Dai looked confused, she didn't know this person, how could she suddenly come to the door to say goodbye.

"Master, I don't know!" Kaludai hurriedly refused.

"Go and see, brother and sister, you go with the phoenix to see it." Yinzhen always felt that Mrs. Yu came to the door because there was some good news to send.

If the Yu family can send the evidence, Yinzhen and Yinzhen will definitely be happy, they are worried that they will not be able to dig up the corner of the Yanyue wall.

Kaludai and Jiufu Jin walked into the flower hall one after the other, and found Mrs. Yu standing a little restless.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both had a faint smile on their faces: "Mrs. Yu, you are here today..."

"Four Blessings, Nine Blessings!" Mrs. Yu spoke, and knelt directly on the ground, please help my master. "Yu

After speaking, Mrs. Yu began to cry, Ka Lu Dai and Jiu Fu Jin were stunned, and Yu Furao's emotions were directly out of control, which made her very strange.

The officials and relatives in the south, especially these merchant women, did an excellent job on the surface, and never showed any undue emotions outside, and today, Yu Furao's appearance surprised her very much.

"Fujin, the slave family is helpless, the lord is about to be forced to death by the adults above, the approval of transporting salt has not been delivered to the master's hands for a long time, the salt has been piled up on the dock, the old man of the salt merchant, let the master transport the salt first, the master is a personal commander, no approval will never be read, although, every year there will be some private salt transportation, and the approval is left here in the master." Mrs. Yu listened to Master Yu's situation outside, and directly brought all the evidence.

Mrs. Yu gave a big purse, and Kaludai opened the purse and found that there were bills with official silver inside.

Kaludai is a little numb, these things must be shown to the fourth master.

"Mrs. Yu, you sit here first, brother and sister, you accompany Mrs. Yu, I will come when I go." Kaludai hurriedly took his purse and walked to the study inside.

Yinzhen and Yinzhen heard the sound of the bottom of the flower pot, and looked up at the door at the same time.

"Master, something has been delivered, look!" Kaludai handed over the purse to Yinzhen, turned around and left.

"Fourth brother, what the hell is it?" Yinzhen tilted his head and looked at the purse, and after Yinzhen opened it, some salt primers for transporting salt fell inside.

Yin Zhen frowned and looked at it, each one was a quantity that exceeded the authority to transport salt, and even after calculating it, it was really a lot.

"Fourth brother, I always think this is a little strange, why did Yuyao send it here?" Yin Yu said curiously.

"I can't support it, recently, Khan Ama issued a holy decree, this year's salt will be transported later than in previous years, those private salt is different, they are agreed in advance, and when the time comes, it will be delivered, otherwise, the salt merchants will have to compensate." Yin Zhen said directly.

Yin Yu looked at him in astonishment, someone under his hand reminded him that Yanyun was a popular errand, and Emi thought that there were so many cats in it.

"Fourth brother, what should you do?" Yinyu is involved in business, but he has never been involved in salt transportation.

"Just let people stare at it, nothing else." Yin Zhen said, "I will accompany your fourth sister-in-law to meet Yuyao in the past, and I will value you when I am secretly watching." ”

Ka Ludai waited at the door and found that the fourth master had come out, and his expression was still very bad.

"Phoenix, let's go meet Mrs. Yu." Yin Zhen said.

Ka Lu Dai followed behind Yinzhen, and her hanging heart was on the ground, she was just a messenger of news, I believe that Mrs. Yu sent evidence, and Yu Yao must have been oppressed too tightly by the above.

"The slave family greets the fourth master." Mrs. Yu didn't expect Yinzhen to appear in front of her, respectfully greeting her, her eyes were red.

"Let's knock, what's going on with Yuyao?" After Yinzhen asked Mrs. Yu to sit down, she asked.

"Fourth master, master, I'm going to hand these over to you today." Mrs. Yu wept and said, "In the past few days, Lord Fu Yin has been urging him to transport salt, so the master can only put the evidence in front of you." ”

Yin Zhen looked through the evidence and found that these were from 10 years ago, and these evidences appeared most appropriately.

"What does Yu Yao think?" Yin Zhen asked.

"This is the letter that the master asked the slave family to bring, thinking that he could make a request in front of the fourth master." Mrs. Yu said.

When Ka Ludai heard Yinzhen's words, he knew in his heart that he wanted to help.

Yinzhen opened the letter and looked at it, browsing quickly, Yuyao hoped that Yinzhen could save his home.

"I promise Yuyao." Yin Zhen nodded and said, "You bring Yuyao over tomorrow to avoid the eyes of the crowd." ”

"Yes!" Mrs. Yu said.

After Mrs. Yu left, Jiufujin went to the study to find Yinzhen, and Kaludai walked to Yinzhen's side.

"Master, do you really want to help Yuyao?" Kaludai asked.

"In the current situation, I have to take action, Huang Ama's holy decree is to muddy the waters of the officialdom in the south." Yin Zhen sighed, "Mrs. Yu is just a stepping stone, Yu Yao knows that she will definitely not be able to live, and hopes that her family can live." ”

"Salt shipments haven't started yet?" Kaludai asked.

In previous years, the salt transport in the south had already begun at this time, and this year was particularly unusual.
