007. Disaster relief

Hu Qing got off the sedan chair, lowered his head to arrange his clothes, raised his head and looked around left and right, followed the door, and then he walked inside, turned a few corners and came to a room, the person opened the door curtain and walked in by himself, Hu Qing waited outside. After a while, the man came out, lifted the curtain for him and said, "Fourth Master, please let Young Master Hu in." Hu Qing nodded and stepped in.

Yin Zhen was waiting for Hu Qing, he received the news that Hu Qing had won the title of "Little God of Wealth" since he was four years old, and when he was nine years old, Hu Zhongzheng handed over some business things to him to do, he was quick-witted and open-minded, and the Hu family's business has become bigger and bigger in recent years. Hu Zhongzheng loves him a lot and obeys his words.

Hu Qing's impression on him was indeed consistent with the news. Ever since the Feather Pavilion met that day, he had been thinking about it and wanted to ask him for help.

Hu Qing saw the fourth elder brother again, and saw him standing in front of the case, wearing a royal blue brocade robe, wearing a belt of the same color and quality, with a jade pendant hanging from the belt, black pants and black boots. On the delicate porcelain white face, a pair of bottomless black pupils, and thin lips. The whole body is cold and solemn.

Hu Qing took two steps forward to salute: "Hu Qing has seen four Baylors!" ”

Yin Zhen stood in front of the table and looked at him, his right hand raised falsely, "No need to be formal, please sit!" After speaking, he bypassed the bookcase and sat down, facing Hu Qing.

"I heard that the Hu family's business is now up to you, so please come and discuss something."

"Four, Baylor, please." Hu Qing replied more and more respectfully.

"This year, there was a locust plague in Henan, and there was no harvest. The people have not eaten, so please help. Yinzhen's deep voice was full of helplessness.

"What does Sibeiler want Hu Qing to do, donate money? Can the money reach the people? Hu Qing disagreed.

"I want you to use food to revive the disaster." Yin Zhen stared at Hu Qing with blazing eyes, and he understood what Hu Qing meant.

"No problem, it's just that this grain is sent out in the name of the court or in the name of the fourth master? Please make it clear to the fourth master. Hu Qing looked at Yinzhen with a smile on his face and a pair of eyes with playfulness.

"Naturally, in the name of the court, I will report the righteous deeds of the Hu family to the court, and the court will reward itself." Yin Zhen got up and poured a cup of tea in front of Hu Qing, raised his hand and made a 'please' gesture.

Hu Qing stared at it, thinking in his heart, whether it was in the name of the court or in his own name, it was indeed for the people. I was going to Henan to shake the disaster, but now I just changed it to the name of the court, and I didn't change my original intention.

However, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were only exchanged for a cup of tea, which was a bit higher, and he was willing to donate money and materials, but now he was asked to do it, and it was inevitable that he would be a little unbalanced psychologically.

The smile on Hu Qing's face gradually expanded, and a pair of phoenix eyes looked directly at the fourth elder brother: "There is no need for awards, Hu Qing is not rare, it is better to ......, uh, let's have something practical." ”

Hu Qing's words, Yinzhen was obviously a little surprised, don't you want to be rewarded by the court? Think that's not practical? So what is practical? After thinking about it again, Hu Qing is a shrewd businessman after all, although he is not very old, but if he can have a certain influence in the business world, he must have his superiority, and besides, he has a request for him, and it is not too much for him to put forward conditions. Then he smiled and said, "You are really a businessman, what do you want, say it!" ”

"Hu Qing has a request, I hope that the four Baylors will be fulfilled."

Yin Zhen looked at Hu Qing's childish face, and raised his sword eyebrows, it was obviously an exchange, it was hard for him to use 'fulfillment', and there was some sincerity in his tone, hehe, he really can't be underestimated him! "Huh? Let's talk about it! There were three points of banter, three points of vigilance and three points of anticipation, and three points of appreciation that he himself was not aware of.

Hu Qing looked back at him, slowed down his voice and said, "Qing, I want a token from Sibeile, and I will allow it to be cleared in the future, a request." ”

Yin Zhen asked in a low tone, "What request?" Looking at Hu Qing, he frowned slightly.

Hu Qing's speech returned to normal: "What a request, Hu Qing didn't think of it for the time being." Looking at his hesitant attitude, Hu Qing smiled lightly and added, "But this request must be within the reach of Sibeile." This sentence is enough to guarantee his sincerity.

Regardless of whether Yinzhen came to Hu Qing or not, the Hu family's disaster relief was imperative, and this exchange condition was Hu Qing's temporary intention, which was considered earned, as for what to ask for, Hu Qing really didn't expect it.

Yin Zhen took off the jade pendant on his waist, no longer hesitated, and handed it to Hu Qing: "Okay, I promise you." ”

After finishing the business, the two of them had not yet established a relationship to talk about private matters, so Hu Qing stood up and saluted Yinzhen. "Hu Qing will leave Beijing the day after tomorrow, if there is something, Sibeile can send someone to live in Kaifeng. Hu Qing retired! ”

There was a smile on the corner of Yinzhen's lips, and he said lightly: "Okay!" It's hard work! ”

Hu Qing smiled slightly, glanced at Yinzhen, turned his head and walked out of the house.

Turning the corner, the man who had picked him up before still took him out of the sedan chair and sent him back to Hufu.

***

Kaifeng "Hui Pengju" belongs to the Hu family's business, and it is the same as the Beijing Hui Pengju Hotel, which is the branch of Hangzhou Hui Pengju Hotel, and Hu Qing is in the small building in the backyard of Hui Pengju at this time.

Three days ago, Xue had purchased all the grain on the market and sent it to the government.

News came from the capital that the fourth elder brother sent the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang to assist her.

The information received by Hu Qing from the thirteenth elder brother shows that the thirteenth elder brother loves Xinjueluo. Yinxiang, whose biological mother was the late Concubine Min, has two sisters: Princess Wen Ke and Princess Dun Ke. Ai Xin Jueluo. Yinxiang is good at riding and shooting, and every shot must hit. The poems are neat and fresh. Good at music and rhythm, uninhibited. Don't be afraid of danger, don't be surprised by sudden changes. is quick-witted and has a good relationship with the fourth elder brother...... Now he is the leader of the Eight Banners of the Old Summer Palace, and the secret leader of the spy battalion, and he is the prince that Kangxi relies on. In fact, in the past few years, Hu Qing has paid attention to the actions of the thirteenth elder brother, because he is his brother's best friend, and because of another relationship with Hu Qing.

Hearing someone call himself "Qing'er", Hu Qing looked up and saw the thirteenth elder brother: a slender figure like his brother, bathed in warm sunshine at the moment. The face is like a crown of jade, the nose is like a gall, the black big and a dark blue brocade robe are already dusty in order to hurry, a pair of black eyes are not stained with half a cent of dust bursting out of the bright starlight, with seven points of joy and three points of tenderness on the face.

"Thirteenth elder brother? When you arrived, I thought I would have to see you a few days late, and it was the road! Hu Qing stood up and greeted the thirteenth elder brother, with concern and surprise in his tone that he could not hide even if he deliberately did not conceal it.

Yinxiang arrived a few days earlier than expected. Hu Qing guessed that he must not have had a good rest in order to hurry.

"Qing'er, the fourth brother sent me to help you!" Yinxiang smiled at Hu Qing and said that because of Rong Yu's relationship, he was very close to Hu Qing.

"The thirteenth elder brother is polite, it should be Hu Qing who is sent by the thirteenth elder brother. The thirteenth elder brother went to wash up first, and Hu Qing washed the dust for the thirteenth elder brother. He turned to the wind and said, "Feng, you take the thirteenth elder brother to wash." ”

Hu Qing led Thirteen to the restaurant on the first floor, Yinxiang sat down very casually, completely ignoring the distinction between primary and secondary, Hu Qing also chose a seat to sit down, and his good impression of him was a little more.

Yinxiang looked at the dining table and then looked at Hu Qing: "I'm afraid it's not easy to eat such a table of food in Henan now, right?" ”

Hu Qing's face was slightly red: "It's just a common thing!" "deliberately treat him well, not because he is a prince, but because in his heart, he is no different from his own brother.

Yinxiang picked up the wine jar and looked at it, sniffed it again, turned his head and nodded to Hu Qing. "Twenty-year-old daughter Red, thank you!"

Hu Qing smiled and didn't speak.

Yinxiang poured a glass of wine and handed it over: "Come, I will borrow flowers to offer a cup of Buddha to Qing'er, I have worked hard for you in the past few days!" ”

Hu Qing blocked the wine glass with his hand, and shook his head with a smile: "Don't dare to be, the thirteenth elder brother, please take care of yourself, Hu Qing won't drink." ”

Yinxiang laughed heartily. "How can a manly man not drink alcohol! Come on, drink it. As he spoke, he handed the wine glass to Qing'er.

Hu Qing hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, don't hide it from the thirteenth elder brother, Hu Qing has been weak since he was a child and can't drink." Thirteenth elder brother, please take care of yourself! ”

"How did you squirm like a woman?" Yinxiang took back the wine glass, drank it all, and then said: "Your actions are fast, and the kung fu food will arrive at the government in a few days, from Kaifeng to Guide, Henan, Nanyang, Runing, Chenzhou, Zhangde, Weihui, Huaiqing Prefectures, and then distribute from the prefecture to the prefectures and counties below, it is estimated that in a few days, the food will be in the hands of the people." Qing'er, I thank you for the people, thank you for the fourth brother, and thank you for the court! ”

"Thirteenth elder brother is not polite, aren't the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother also for the people, what Hu Qing can do is only do his best."

"Okay, don't say thank you, we're all for the people." After Yinxiang finished speaking, he raised his wine glass, Hu Qing also raised the tea bowl, and made a gesture of invitation to Thirteen, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Yinxiang lowered his throat with a glass of wine, turned his head and asked: "Your Hu family has a lot of business in Henan, and I am afraid that this year's year will be affected, right?" ”

Hu Qing said lightly: "It's okay." "It's not just his family that is affected, they are much better off than ordinary people.

Yinxiang tilted his head and said: "Henan has been a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times, and there has been a lot of history here, such as the martial king's war, the Spring and Autumn princes' struggle for hegemony, the Warring States period of the warring states, the confrontation between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, the Guangwu Liu Xiuxing Han, and the Central Plains of Cao Wei 、......"

Hu Qing took his words with a light smile: "There are also the Wagang riot at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutiny, and Yue Fei's resistance to Jin." Thirteenth elder brother, you seem to be fascinated? ”

Yinxiang grinned bitterly, "Actually, I hope for peace, the people have enough food and clothing, there are no hungry people, refugees, and Huang Ama doesn't have to worry day and night." ”

Hu Qing sighed, "Actually, this is also the wish of every ordinary person." "Over the years, he has been providing disaster relief, and he knows that the people's wish is nothing more than worry-free food and clothing.

Seeing that Yinxiang felt sorry for the emperor, Qing'er was moved, so she looked at Yinxiang with a smile and said, "It's just that men always think that they can better reflect their value on the battlefield, don't they?" ”

Yinxiang smiled embarrassedly and said: "I haven't been on the battlefield to kill the enemy so far, it's just a pity." Qing'er, aren't you? ”

"Of course I'm not!" Hu Qing shook his head with a smile, and after a slight pause, he changed the topic: "Thirteenth elder brother, I remember that you have a poem that is written like this: Outside the Chilan Bridge, there are willows, thousands of trees and peach blossoms. It is in the spring of March, and the scenery is vaguely like the south of the Yangtze River. The moon rises out of the distant sky, and the flute sounds melodiously before the evening breeze. The white gulls are mighty and the spring waves are wide, and the shallow water edge of the boat is stable. Yaopu Qiongtai jade field, master plan to the side of the bridge. The poem is a happy year, and it is also accidental to sell wine and look for plums. The artistic conception of the writing is very beautiful, and it can be seen that you like Jiangnan very much. ”

"Yes, anyone who has been to Gangnam will love Gangnam. I can't believe you actually know this poem, it was written and played with when you were a child. Yinxiang shook his head and smiled.

"Really? I also know a song: phenology is good in late spring, and the scenery is getting longer. The willow pond is new and green, and the flowers and rain are fragrant. The waves are ambiguous and the fish are jumping, and the mud is melting. is full of complacency, swimming Lai Xuanhuang. It is "Spring Day" written by you, which is very fresh and elegant, and I like the sentence "Willow Pond is new and green, and the flowers and rain are fragrant". ”

"What about your poem, read one and I'll listen to it." Yinxiang himself is a civil and military all-rounder, and at this time, he talked about poetry with Hu Qing, who had the title of 'prodigy', and naturally wanted to appreciate Hu Qing's masterpieces.

"My poems? I'll read it to you. What's the trouble? Ren Yu Qingqiu. The rolling mountains are cloudy, and the occasional feeling is floating in the wind, and the body is like a boat. Love is trapped and wine seals the throat, and love and hate are hard to collect. The cold current of the lingering dreams and pillows, who is with me in the lonely world? Get drunk! Qing'er finished reading leisurely, and then looked at Yinxiang quietly.

"Occasionally, I feel the wind drifting through, and my body is like a boat. Love is trapped and wine seals the throat, and love and hate are hard to collect. Well? Qing'er, did you write this? Feeling stuck? You? Yinxiang looked at Hu Qing with some surprise.
