There was silence in the study for a while, except for the candle flame jumping brightly and dimly. , with you all the way!

Yan Huanyuan paused with his hand holding the teacup, thought for a while, and said: "The matter of collecting grain is very important, let's sit down and discuss it carefully!" Brother and sister, I know that you have always been smart and cautious, and you are always reluctant to say more about everything, for fear of causing trouble, but the current situation is in front of me, and I hope you can help me. I have told Xiao Han a few times about this, and he is worried about you a lot, but he always refuses to respond. ”

Xin Yao looked at Xiao Han with burning eyes, and the man gave her a wry smile back.

Xin Yao let out a long sigh and said lightly: "Second brother, I am a boudoir woman, my knowledge is limited, and some things are just coincidences!" ”

Yan Songyuan said with a smile: "It's just a coincidence, but I haven't seen such a good thing as a coincidence!" The last time I went back to the Marquis of Annan's mansion, my brother and sister were clever. What did the second brother of Yiyuan offend his younger siblings that day, and asked his younger siblings to forgive him! ”

Jiang Xinyao has always eaten soft rather than hard, and when it comes to this, she is going to refuse again, but she is afraid that King Jing will go away angrily, and she doesn't know how to lift up.

She said softly: "Second brother, how to transport such a large amount of grain, and where is it hidden, can it be investigated?" ”

Yan Huanyuan gave Xiao Han a look with a smile and said, "I can only find out that the grain was transported to the northwest through various caravans, and it disappeared when it arrived in the northwest." The bitter cold land in the northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and the line is too long to explore! ”

Since Xin Yao had made up her mind, she no longer swayed from side to side, and said truthfully: "Second brother, a few days ago, Lu Chenxiao, the long cabinet of Qingfeng Hall, told me that the price of medicinal materials this year is like Panax notoginseng, Xianhe grass, blood charcoal, palm, mugwort leaves, and acacia flowers. Ground elm, white and these herbs rose the most. ”

Although Xiao Han didn't know pharmacology, he still had some insight into medicinal materials, so he said, "Second brother." These herbs are all to stop bleeding. ”

Yan Huanyuan nodded, was silent for a long time, and said: "There is no real evidence for this matter, only based on the speculation of a few of us, it is not credible." ”

Xiao Han said: "Second brother, you still need to prepare early, and when you have real evidence, maybe it's too late!" ”

Yan Huanyuan sighed: "The only way to do this now is to send more people to track down the whereabouts of this batch of grain and medicinal materials. Sixteen over there. You have to send someone to inform him as soon as possible. What are the plans of the younger siblings? ”

Xin Yao's face was solemn, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she said: "The Northwest Fifth Army, Zhao Hu commands 200,000 troops, and he is in the middle army; Sixteen commanded 100,000 troops. Bit left. There are 50,000 on the right, in the back, and in the forward battalion, so that half of the military power in the northwest is in the hands of General Zhao, who has always been the man of King Han. King Han secretly collected food and medicine. Presumably preparing for the worst. I'm thinking, if we have the ability to pocket the 200,000 army, come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, the second brother can achieve a great cause! ”

Yan Huanyuan shook his head lightly and said, "Why don't I know? It's just that Zhao Hu has been in the northwest for ten years, brave and good at fighting, and has made great achievements. has a very high prestige in the army, and his military power is not so easy to collect, if he can't get it right, there will be chaos in the northwest! If the northwest is chaotic, the world will be in chaos! ”

Xin Yao sighed, "Second brother." A person with 200,000 heavy troops, even if he is not a person of King Han, he may not be able to rebel one day, which is not a good thing! ”

Yan Songyuan praised: "My younger brother and sister can see clearly, the Northwest Fifth Route Army, the original number of Chinese troops is not large. When the Empress Dowager was there, there was a barbarian invasion, and the Empress Dowager insisted on subsuming the 100,000 army into the Chinese army, and after the war, she did not return it for a long time. After the death of the Queen Mother, it was not so easy for her father to move. Zhao Hu's chess piece was prepared by the Empress Dowager for her eldest brother early in the morning. ”

It's strange that the first queen mother is not in a hurry about her son's delay in establishing the prince, it turns out that she has no fear. It is strange that the 16th Army wants to sit firmly on the left route today, but it turns out that it is also afraid of being rebelled. Jiang Xinyao thought about it.

Xiao Han said slowly: "Second brother, now that the dragon is healthy, then Zhao Hu secretly collected grain, and what he created was not the second brother's." ”

Xin Yao praised in her heart: "Second brother, Xiao Han is right, on the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly, and it is not us who is most anxious." ”

Yan Huanyuan's heart moved, and he said calmly: "It seems that in two days, I have to ask Tianxiang to ask my father for a peace pulse." ”

Xiao Han said again: "To prevent the grass from startling the snake, it would be better if you could transfer people to the capital." ”

Xin Yao's mind turned slightly, and she sneered: "My mother's grandmother is 60 years old in July this year, and the house is going to do a big job, I heard that my uncle's family is going to Beijing to celebrate her birthday!" The old lady misses her great-grandson and wants her uncle to enter Beijing earlier. However, Suzhou Mansion is the root of the Jiang family in the end, and if you want me to say, you have to send some people who can use them to take care of the family and the courtyard, so as not to take advantage of the absence of the master and call the king in the mountains. ”

Good idea!

Yan Songyuan took a deep look at the woman's smiling face, and said after a while: "Brother and sister, in the future, whenever there is news in my house, I will copy another copy every day for him to send over. There are only three masters in the Xiao Mansion, nothing serious, Xiaohan Yamen is busy with official business, and he can't accompany you for a long time, so you should have a pastime! ”

Jiang Xinyao glanced at Xiao Han with resentment, who said that I had a good life? In charge of eating, drinking, and Lazar of dozens of people in the house, and managing the year-round accounts of Qingfeng Hall, Jinjue Pavilion, and Yiyuan, my life is very busy, quite busy.

Jiang Xinyao made a bitter face, and said with a deep gaze: "Second brother, it's not that I excuse myself, it's really the three places of Jinjue Pavilion, Yiyuan, and Qingfeng Hall...... Hey, you know, the little uncle will get rid of his filial piety in a few months. As soon as he returned to the capital, he was still too busy with the affairs in the yamen, how could he have time to take care of these mundane things? Besides, the business of a few shops is not very good now, I always have to put more thoughts on this, in case the little uncle really wants to marry that red jade, there is no 100,000, 80,000, where can I cope with the past! ”

Yan Songyuan laughed, this woman's ability to calculate is first-class, and her ability to cry poor is also first-class: "Xiaohan, your daughter-in-law married well." Anyway, what do my younger siblings want, to put it bluntly, I like to be happy! ”

Jiang Xinyao shook her head and said with a smile: "Second brother, Xinyao just wants the second brother to allow me to mine the jade mining land in the northwest outside the scope of the official family for five years after the second brother's great cause is completed." Within five years, Jin Jue Pavilion shopped everywhere and gave 20% of the profits to the second brother, I don't know what the second brother thinks? ”

Yan Songyuan gasped, what a guts!

He pondered for a long time before raising his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it less profitable in five years!" ”

Xin Yao bent the corners of her mouth and sighed lightly: "Then it depends on how big the second brother gives me!" Hey, don't hide it from the second brother, the leftovers can only fill the stomach. ”

Yan Songyuan felt a little pain in his head, and he glanced at the woman deeply. His eyes were like arrows, and he said for a long time: "Yes!" ”

Jiang Xinyao was overjoyed, and she took a step forward, deeply blessed. He said with a smile: "If the second brother has any orders in the future, just tell Xin Yao, Xin Yao will know everything, and she will say everything!" ”

Yan Huanyuan snorted coldly, glared at Xiao Han, and threw out his sleeves!

Xiao Han glanced at Xin Yao helplessly, with a smile in his eyes.

He stepped forward and squeezed Xin Yao's hand, and said softly, "Yaoyao, you sleep first, don't wait for me." I don't have to go home tonight. ”

Xin Yao nodded meekly and said softly, "Come back early!"

After Jiang Xinyao waited for the man to leave, she couldn't hold back her excitement, so she simply paced in the study.

Five years of mining rights in the northwest. Sent it, sent it. Now Jin Jue Pavilion is really haired!

This **, the man really didn't go home. Jiang Xinyao hugged the quilt and slept soundly.

In the light vigil outside, Wutong heard the grandmother laugh a few times in the middle of the night, and was so frightened that he hurried into the house to investigate, but saw the grandmother curled up and sleeping soundly!

……

The swallow does not return to the late spring, and the apricot blossoms are cold.

In the late spring, it rained in the capital. Three or five days without a break! The man went out earlier and returned late more and more, and Jiang Xinyao gradually became busy.

King Jing grunted the big and small things that had happened in the court in the past three years and sent them to Xin Yao. Jiang Xinyao immersed herself in hard reading every night, and she was very contemptuous of King Jing in her heart.

It's just five years of quarrying, and as for which lady in the palace sang a song in the imperial garden on which year, month, and day. In a certain year and month, did a minister accept a concubine and write about such a trivial matter? She is working hard for him, not for him!

Gradually, Xin Yao saw some truths.

When the mother sings, she sings a song and leads people. No, the emperor was overjoyed, and rested there for three consecutive days, and on the fourth day, he raised the mother's father up. This little song is sung well, and it is worth it.

The courtier takes a concubine, Nade is a beautiful concubine sent by his subordinates, but this beautiful concubine is a chess piece laid by a sworn enemy, and after that, the big and small things in the courtier's house will be on the sworn enemy's bookcase within three days, for him to laugh and read! This concubine is really wronged!

While Jiang Xinyao was reading, some thoughts often ran out of her mind, and after careful consideration, she wrote them down one by one and asked the secret guard to send them over.

Yan Songyuan often looked at this beautiful official book and fell into deep thought.

This woman always sees things differently than others.

For example, when he went to Qingwang's Mansion to talk about his plan, the old prince said that he was not sick, so the prince politely invited him into the mansion and sent him out politely. Everyone around him said that this was a refusal, and there was no need to put his mind on Qingwang's Mansion!

This woman wrote: "I don't see much power in the autumn, I don't see the sun and the moon for the eyes, and I don't hear the thunder for the ears!" The implication is that powerful people are quiet, unobtrusive, and the most important thing is to find out what is hidden behind the surface of his politeness.

Sure enough, on the second day, King Jing received a tip: Last night, the old prince and the prince discussed until dawn.

Another example: Du Tianxiang asked the emperor for a pulse, the emperor asked about what interesting things happened in the capital recently, Tianxiang laughed and said that the old rice that had been put in the Du family Zhuangzi for three years was actually taken away at a high price, and his mother was happy for three days.

The emperor was silent, but there was no movement. （http：/／.）。

The strategists discussed whether to let any lady mention it in her ear today, and let her breath shine. But the woman wrote: "It is useless to talk too much, it is better to wait quietly"

Just when everyone was waiting anxiously, ten days later, his father called him in and asked him to pay attention to the whereabouts of the grain in the suburbs of Beijing.

Yan Huanyuan asked her afterwards why she was sure that her father would definitely pay attention to this matter, but she only asked Xiao Han to bring two words, "guess".

Yan Huanyuan only felt that the blood was surging, and the back tooth socket was painful.

ps：

At the end of the long vacation, Baozi has to resume getting up early and getting up late, comparable to the days of a dog, and his heart is sad.

In view of the fact that some cute book friends said that the three views of the bun were not correct, Qiong Yao possessed her.

I want to play red chess all my life, and the four good young people who grew up in the spring breeze, the three views...... Guaranteed to **...... Absolutely proper.

Novices write books, it is difficult to have shortcomings, there are a lot of book friends, so I can hold up a boat! (..)
