Chapter 454

Hearing Zhou Jiren mention this name, his heart chuckled quietly, isn't that her father's name? It seems that my uncle's catastrophe was because Chu Jing'an was timely and decisive, cut through the chaos quickly, and spent a lot of money to buy off the government, and he was not implicated, and even the business of royal spices for the palace was not lost.

Thinking of Chu Jing'an's ruthlessness, he was quietly full of sadness.

But calm down and think about it carefully, if she was her father, for the sake of the entire Chu family, maybe she would have made such a ruthless decision, giving up two people and saving the entire family, why not?

"My lord? Master Lee? ”

Zhou Jiren's voice sounded again, he got in, observed the quiet expression, and secretly became proud in his heart, Li Chunxiang was in such a daze, wasn't he afraid that he wouldn't recognize the spices, and he had a foreign appearance, right?

"Lord Li is now the highest steward of the Imperial Fragrance Room, this matter...... You have to go......" He narrowed his eyes and said in his heart, this Li Chunxiang won't retreat so quickly, right? It seems that she is really a woman with no real skills, maybe she relied on some relationship to enter the hospital.

"Huh?"

Quietly heard Zhou Jiren's shout, and immediately came back to his senses and responded in a low voice.

"I'll go right away."

"I took a dozen people with Master Li, and when I carried the spices, this outsider was not allowed to enter the palace."

Zhou Jiren was going to help move things, he obviously wanted to see the quiet and lively, and quietly pretended to be busy, so he didn't think much about it, so he walked out of the Yuxiang room in advance.

She was worried about one thing, I don't know who the Chu family came to the capital to deliver spices this time, will she be recognized at once?

"The last few times I sent spices to Beijing, was it Chu Jingan himself?" Asked quietly.

"It was Chu Jing'an's cousin who sent it before, and recently, Chu Jingan himself came." Zhou Jiren replied, these words made his heart pound wildly, it turned out that his father came to deliver it in person?

It seems that after his uncle's accident, Chu Jingan was very cautious in doing things, for fear that something would happen, so he worked hard and entered Beijing in person.

"It's quite hard, and you came to deliver it in person?"

Quietly his lips trembled, and he pretended to say something casually.

"Now almost all the spices in the palace are from the Chu family in Qingzhou, can he not pay attention to it? In case something goes wrong, it can't be eaten, this time Lord Li inspected the spices, and he had to be more careful, after the spices were inspected, he entered the palace, and the quality had nothing to do with the Chu family. ”

"I understand."

Quietly and naturally understood Zhou Jiren's words, this is to let her be careful when she inspects.

But how did Zhou Jiren know, what he was quietly worried about was not the issue of testing spices, but how to make Chu Jingan not recognize her, it seemed that it was difficult.

As the steward of the Imperial Fragrance Room, she can't cover her face, let alone dodge, she must face Chu Jing'an head-on, even if she tries her best to avoid it, Chu Jing'an will see her face, will he boldly recognize him? If that were the case, she would surely die.

With such a thought, the person had already arrived at the side gate of the palace, and in the distance, she saw several carriages, Chu Jing'an was standing at the front of the transport team, talking to the two eunuchs, and when he saw someone coming, he looked this way.

Seeing his father Chu Jing'an again, he quietly couldn't calm down, after a few months, he looked much older, and his face was darker, it seemed that this disaster of the Chu family made him feel like he was seriously ill.

Although he tried his best to slow down, Zhou Jiren still pushed her to the front.

"Master Li will go first."

This guy was full of smiles, and he couldn't wait to let him quietly make a big appearance, it seemed that such a push attracted Chu Jingan's attention, and he frowned, as if he was thinking about something?

Quietly and secretly asked for his lips and comforted himself, Chu Jingan is not a fool, he has been in business for so many years, and he has dealt with the government and the palace, he should know what to say and what not to say, in this case, even if he recognizes her, he does not have the courage to recognize her.

Father and daughter meet

Since fate arranged for their father and daughter to meet like this, she could only accept it quietly, but she would not forget her current identity, she was Li Chunxiang, the mention of the palace incense room, Li Chunxiang didn't know anything Chu Jing'an, so she naturally had to act impartially.

"That's the spice business in Qingzhou?" Asked quietly.

"yes, how many years have you been sending spices to the palace?" Zhou Jiren explained.

"I don't care how many years he has been making spices, if it's not good, he must not be able to pass my level." Quietly raised his head and strode over.

I don't know if Chu Jing'an recognized it quietly, he happened to be a little eunuch talking, and when he raised his eyes, his eyebrows suddenly locked, his eyes were stunned, and he didn't say anything for a while.

Quietly knowing, Chu Jing'an's expression has already shown that he recognized her.

Chu Jing'an watched and walked over quietly, still frozen in place, unable to say a word, and didn't even come back to greet him.

"Chu Da Shang, this is the new person of the Imperial Fragrance House to mention Lord Li, today's spices will be inspected by Lord Li, so I won't ask."

Zhou Jiren pushed it backwards, finished the introduction, took a step back directly, and instructed the people from the Yuxiang room who came with him.

"You all follow Master Li, and if you have any orders, do them."

"Yes, Lord Zhou."

Several people in the Yuxiang room have already worn a pair of pants with Zhou Jiren, everyone is in a loss, and they are all prosperous, so they will not help Li Chunxiang, looking at Lord Zhou's jokes, so they all made a straight face and decided not to help Li Chunxiang check these spices.

Chu Jingan stared at the quiet face, cold sweat falling frequently, how could it be? This new female official of the Imperial Fragrance Room, no matter how you look at it, it is all quiet, but ...... How could she come to the palace quietly, she wasn't with her mother......

So far, Chu Jingan didn't know where his wife and quietly went, he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to inquire, for a few months, he let it go, firmly believing that the mother and daughter had frozen to death in that cold night, and the bodies were not necessarily buried in the snow, but now, he was a little unsure.

As quietly guessed, Chu Jingan didn't dare to shout out the quietly name, but cautiously leaned in and asked in a low voice.

"Your surname is Li?"

"What? My last name, will it still be wrong? Do you know me? Quietly cold-faced, Chu Jingan immediately shook his head.

"First meeting, first meeting." Chu Jingan laughed awkwardly, his expression was very unnatural.

Quietly closed his gaze, looking at a few carriages indifferently on the surface, but he was very sad in his heart, although his father was sorry for their mother and daughter, and drove them out like that, but he was indeed old and thin, and Turmeric's face showed that he had suffered a lot of torture, could it be that he was also worried about driving away his wife and daughter?

There was a chill in her heart, and she was more willing to believe that Chu Jing'an could do this, it was all the result of being frightened, and he was too afraid that the forty-odd heads would move.

"Open the wagon, bring the spices down, and check them one by one." Whisper.

"Check them one by one?"

Chu Jingan wiped his sweat, he had already bought off all the people in the Imperial Fragrance Room, every time the spices came, Lord Zhou, they didn't even look at it, and they were transported into the palace, why did they have to check them one by one today?

Looking at this face that was exactly the same as his daughter, Chu Jingan walked up embarrassed again.

"Master Li, this is a document for the spices to be checked layer by layer, and all the spices are of the highest quality...... Would you like to take a look? ”

Regardless of whether this Lord Li is his daughter or not, Chu Jingan has to send the spices to the palace, in fact, Chu Jing'an knows very well in his heart that this batch of spices is not all high-grade goods, and one-third of them are medium-grade spices that are transported as high-grade spices.

Especially sandalwood and agarwood, dipterocarp, there are many varieties of these spices, and those who do not know the goods are easy to use some inferior varieties as superior spices, although the aroma emitted is very similar, the experts who can adjust the fragrance can smell it as soon as they smell it.

Chu Jing'an was really helpless to do this, these truckloads of spices were transported to Beijing, and the cost had to be paid by himself, and he had to reward officials of all sizes, peeling the skin layer by layer, and the profits obtained were far from being as rich as his budget, so he put a little effort into the variety of spices, and there were not many people in the palace who really knew spices, so he told Lord Zhou, the good color should be used by the emperor and Niangniang, and the medium spices should be used by the people below, so that there would be no problems, but now, ......

Chu Jingan handed the box of the official document to Quietly, and inside was a few considerable silver tickets.

Quietly took the box of the paperwork and opened it, just a glance, she closed the box, she was disappointed, she always thought that Chu Jingan was honest in business, and he did his duty, but he didn't expect him to bribe officials, it seems that these cars of spices don't need to be checked, there must be unqualified spices in them.

Quietly thought of the incense that Lan Hui lit in the room, it was clearly cheap, but the woman didn't understand, but she was a good product, maybe the problem was here.

"I won't read the paperwork."

Quietly stuffed the box back into Chu Jing'an's hand, Chu Jingan's face turned white in an instant, and she didn't even accept bribes.

"Chu Da Shang, this batch of spices, part of it will be used on the state banquet of Mongolia in Beijing, there must be no jokes, if it can't stand scrutiny, the matter will not be solved by an official box, please consider it at your own discretion, you see, now...... Where should I start with the carriage? ”

As soon as Chu Jingan heard this, he immediately understood, and he took the box back tremblingly.

"The spices in the first four carriages, and the one in the back, were sent to my cousin, and I don't know what the goods are, after taking Chu to check, if there is no problem, they will be sent over, if they are not good enough, Chu will bring them back to Qingzhou."

Chu Jingan said while secretly looking at the quietly, how do he think it, this is his daughter, appearance, voice, and demeanor, it's just ......

"Well, then open the first three."

Even if he quietly hates Chu Jing'an, he will not embarrass his father at this time, and at this point, he should understand.

Zhou Jiren naturally knew what the official document box contained, every time he accepted it generously, and then divided a little bit to the people below, I didn't expect that the silver ticket was given to Li Chunxiang today, Li Chunxiang actually refused, and there was still a greedy official in the palace? Zhou Jiren felt that this Li Chunxiang was a bit uneasy.

"Although this spice is of high quality, it can't be baked, is it damp on the road?" quietly turned around and asked Chu Jing'an.

On the one hand, Zhou Jiren's neck stretched out from the elder, and the sweat on his forehead came out, how could this Li Chunxiang still see that the spices were damp?

--------------

Today is more than two more, New Year's Day, two guests at home, tomorrow is normal, thank you for your support, I wish you all a happy new year

Tacit

Chu Jingan didn't dare to hide the truth, he wiped his cold sweat while explaining.

"My lord? On the way, the storeroom of the inn was full, and only other carriages were accommodated, and this one was parked outside overnight, and there was snow on the roof, and as soon as the sun came out, the snow melted, and when I found out, snow seeped in, so ......"

"It also looks like it's damp, next time you have to be careful, it's okay to bake it, Lord Zhou, let people carry it in."

Quietly commanded, Zhou Jiren's mentality of wanting to see the excitement was gone, he frowned, waved at a few people behind him, and asked them to quickly carry the spices in.

Just when Zhou Jiren was directing those people to carry spices, Chu Jingan walked to the side quietly, he stared at this adult who was almost exactly the same as his daughter, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Do you remember Qingzhou?"

Chu Jing'an's words, how could he not hear them quietly, he had doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to recognize him, such a sentence was just trying to be quiet.

"Qingzhou is not a good place, even if you remember it, you don't want to mention it."

Quietly and indifferently replied, his gaze swept coldly over Chu Jing'an's face, even if he recognized her, would he have the courage to expose it? He didn't dare, because he was Chu Jing'an, a businessman who was most afraid of trouble.

Chu Jing'an's next words, I couldn't ask anymore, such a one-sentence answer already explained everything, she was her own daughter quietly.

Slowly retreating, Chu Jing'an's face was like a blank piece of paper.

"Don't worry, Chu Da Shang, do your business well, nothing will happen."

Quietly threw down these words, turned around, and walked towards the side door of the palace, Zhou Jiren had already asked someone to move the spices, and then approached quietly with a smile.

"This Chu Jingan really doesn't know each other, next time he dares to make any mistakes, he will simply report to the emperor, return his goods, ask him about his crimes, and dare to bribe the court officials?"

"How do you know he's paying bribes? What he showed me was really just an official document. ”

Quietly and coldly said, this guy has gained benefits, and he still wants to beat him up, maybe he doesn't know who is standing in front of him, right? If he knew that Li Chunxiang was Miss Chu Si, Bacheng wouldn't dare to say this.

"Yes, yes......"

Zhou Jiren looked down on this little girl at first, but now he didn't dare to despise her, she spoke almost without leakage, but he almost fell into it a few times.

Outside the side door, Chu Jingan took back the silver ticket sent by the little eunuch, and he was still very uneasy in his heart.

"Master Chu, why is this Li ......?"

Without waiting for the Chu family's guards to speak, Chu Jingan immediately covered his mouth.

"Okay, you all should have seen nothing, if anyone dares to say it, the Chu family's business will be over, you all wait to drink the northwest wind."

Chu Jing'an's warning made all the guards shut their mouths, and everyone drove the carriage out of the imperial city, Chu Jing'an hung his head and was silent all the way, he really couldn't figure it out, how did he quietly come to the capital, and how did he enter the palace, and he also entered the imperial incense room of the Tai Hospital, and was promoted to the Lord of Tidian?

"What the hell is going on?" Chu Jingan asked himself in a muffled voice.

No matter what the reason was, he was shocked and afraid, and he didn't dare to stay in the capital for one night, so he hurried back to Qingzhou.
