Listening to the people who said that when the third master of Xi Yang Xi came over, 'Hua' Jiu immediately looked for Xingyun to come over, and asked Xi Yang about his recent actions, fortunately, there was nothing abnormal, Xi Yang returned to Xi Mansion very smoothly, and the people in the house quickly accepted him, after all, he brought a large amount of silver back, of course, it was very popular, and he also injected silver into Xi Xiang, and now Xi Xiang is really making money every day, and the life of Xi Fu is better than before.

Xi Siye has no other skills, and he can still do it if he guards Xi Xiang with trepidation.

Xi Yang also knew how to avoid suspicion, and knew that 'Hua' Jiu and a 'woman' Taoist family were at home, so he didn't enter the house, but only stood in the courtyard, and said to 'Hua' Jiu in a bright and bright manner, "Niece and daughter-in-law, I came today to invite you back to the house, your in-laws are still very much talking about you, and you are here alone at night, and they are not at ease." ”

'Hua' Jiu stood by the eaves, separated from Xi Yang by the 'spring' vegetable garden full of small vegetables, and there was a 'yin' shadow on her face that fell, and she couldn't see it really, "My nephew and daughter-in-law have thanked the third uncle, but when the family was separated, my mother-in-law didn't say that, and I can't go back to this kind of thing, and my nephew and daughter-in-law can't be the master." ”

Xi Sanye groaned for a moment, "Then you should go to visit relatives and friends, go back to the house first, and come back when Xi Qi comes back?" ”

'Hua' Jiu shook his head, "Let's wait for my husband to come back, and it won't be a few days, so as not to make my nephew and daughter-in-law advocate without permission, and it will not be good if my husband is unhappy." ”

Seeing that 'Hua' Jiudu said this, Xi Yang knew that he couldn't persuade 'Hua' Jiu to return today, so he stopped thinking, a smile appeared on his face, and he shook a carp in his hand towards 'Hua' Jiu and said, "Then I'll come and take a look, you live alone in such a remote place, I don't worry, and I will send you a fish to make up for your health." ”

The 'Spring' student beside the 'flower' Jiuchao made a 'color', and the 'Chun' student immediately went down to the courtyard, took the carp in the hands of the third master with both hands, and the 'flower' Jiucai said, "Nephew, thank you Sanbo, when the husband comes back, he will invite Sanbo to come and sit." ”

But it blocked the words that Xi Laosan said that he should come over often, and Xi Yang was not annoyed, when he didn't understand the meaning of 'Hua' Jiu's words, he clapped his hands, and his small round eyes narrowed, "Then the nephew and daughter-in-law should go back to the house, I still have to leave beforehand." ”

'Hua' Jiu curtsied, "The third uncle walks slowly, and the nephew and daughter-in-law can't be sent away." ”

'Hua' Jiu lowered his head and closed his eyes after saying this, but when he turned around, there was a gloom in his eyes, and they all fluttered, like a black 'color' snow.

"Xingyun," watching Xi Yang's back disappear, the 'flower' nine faces were 'colored', "Go and check, Xi Laosan has been in contact with someone recently, Zixiao has been gone for so many days, if he really came to invite me back to the house, it wasn't just this time." ”

"Yes." Xingyun answered and went out.

'Chun'sheng poked the carp that was still fresh in his hand on the other side, and he was happy, "Madam, did you say that it was steamed, sweet and sour or other flavors?" ”

'Hua' Jiu glanced at her, "How many years have you never eaten fish in your life?" Le Cheng is like that, you look at it, it's all about eating anyway. ”

"Madam, the maid must be happy, this thing that others don't give for silver, it's all good." 'Chun' Sheng said with a smile as a matter of course.

"I'm missing your money every month? Fortunately, Xingyun just went out, otherwise you might think I treated you badly. "Flower' Nine took a joking sip on her.

Thinking about it, 'Chun''s face turned red as soon as she gave birth, she stomped her foot, and her mouth pursed with shameful dissatisfaction, "Madam, what nonsense are you talking about,...... Servant ...... I'll cook for you. ”

"What are you worried about, don't worry, in a short time, I won't marry you off yet." The nine pairs of 'flowers' and 'spring' were born and fled to the back of the desert, and the startled 'spring' gave birth to a stumbling one, and almost fell on the ground.

Xingyun came back quickly, and when 'Chun' Sheng had just finished the carp, he had already appeared in the study.

'Flower' nine is practicing words, during this time, either perfume or practice, although the dark incense building and incense guild outside are bloody and bloody, she doesn't go out of the 'door' It seems that she has nothing to do with her, and her heart is not disturbed by the outside, and it is as quiet as water.

"Madam, the third master of Xi has been in and out of the tea house or the wine shop recently, and he goes back to the Xifu Mansion every night to rest, and he has never even been to Xixiang." Xingyun pondered it and picked up what he thought was important.

"Then in the tea house, what contact does he have with other people?" 'Hua' Jiu didn't raise his eyelids and continued to ask.

"Yes, the fish and dragons in the tea liao wine shop are 'mixed', he often 'socializes' with people to talk and laugh, and when he is happy, he invites people he doesn't know to drink and taste tea, so he can't see who is abnormal for a while."

"That's right," 'Hua' Jiu put down his pen, "It is precisely because there are many people that the news can be delivered, you continue to let people guard, to see who has the most contact with him, I estimate that he came to invite me today, I did not agree to go back to the house, he will make a move in two days." ”

Xingyun responded, he actually had the same opinion as Mrs. Gongzi, if the third child was really dedicated to returning to the rest of the family, he would not come back suddenly after the death of the grandfather, and this time he came back, not to mention bringing a large sum of silver, but also being kind and charitable, there must be deep malice behind such hypocritical actions.

After all the most good faces, there are all extreme evils.

Sure enough, there were no two days at all, only another day, there were officials of the county government who rushed across the city, and went straight to the Jingzhao Mansion, and in less than half a day, not only the city 'gate' posted a notice, but all the families in Zhaozhou City as long as they were touched with the incense received the documents stamped with the two official seals of the county government and the Jingzhao Mansion at the same time.

'Hua' Jiu took the paperwork and sneered, if she didn't understand that Xi Yang was the person of the eldest prince at this time, then she would be blind.

The document said, the prince's birthday is imminent, and at the same time marry the daughter of the military department as the princess, double happiness and celebration, all the major incense masters who receive the documents must prepare incense products to send up, at the same time, the prince has been advocating to raise the incense tax in the incense industry, in order to fill the treasury, Zhaozhou as a small incense capital, increase the incense tax from the incense shop in Zhaozhou.

If this soft one doesn't work, it will come hard, and if Xi Yang persuades her to fail, he will 'force' her to return to Xifu through such means, you must know that Xi Xiang must not be able to prepare qualified incense products and send them to it, so the people of the Xi family will definitely find her help.

However, she wanted to know that Xi Yang did everything possible to ask her to return to Xifu, was this to put herself under her nose and give her a disguised look? When necessary, can it still be used to deter Xi Zixiao who returned to Zhaozhou?

'Hua' Jiu flipped the paperwork in his hand, then threw it aside, and took a slow sip of tea, not even worried.

Later in the evening, Shang Li came over, saying that the Jingzhao Mansion went directly to the shop and ordered the number of incense to be given to the eldest prince, Liang Qi seemed to have no choice, as far as he knew, the number of dark incense buildings was the largest, followed by the incense incense.

This incense without money, coupled with the increased incense tax, can be said to have directly 'forced' the dark incense building to a dead end.

"What about the Incense Guild?" 'Flower' Nine asked.

"Because the incense guild is just a guild, those perfumers have only received the task of preparing incense, and there is no incense tax." Shang Li said with a frown.

This is also expected by 'Hua' Jiu, "However, I remember that as long as he is the perfumer of the incense guild, he has the right to dispose of more than half of the incense guild for free, in other words, there are not a few perfumers in the entire Zhaozhou, and most of them must take this part of the free spices from the incense guild to prepare incense for the great prince, so this expenditure must be able to drag down the incense guild in an instant." ”

As soon as 'Hua' Jiu said this, Shang Li's brows stretched a little, he was thinking about the matter of the Dark Fragrance Building, but he forgot this rule.

"Wait," 'Hua' leaned back, leaned back on the back of the chair, and his eyes were a little empty, "The incense products of the dark incense building were withdrawn, and I only concentrated on selling incense 'flowers', and the list of tailor-made incense products received a few days ago was put on hold, and I said to those powerful ladies that the dark incense building was impossible, and I was ashamed to everyone, this incense tax was mentioned, and the dark incense building was afraid that it would only sell incense 'flowers' in the future, and each list sent a pot of rare incense 'flowers' to apologize." ”

Yang Yuan's trick is still very poisonous, if it succeeds, then you can take her into her hands, Xi Zixiao doesn't dare to move, and there is a 'plug' in Zhaozhou, and the silver from this incense is a lot.

"Yes." Shang Li bent down and answered, this is also a way to no way, drag it first.

All the families in Zhaozhou who were stained with some incense, or those who received the government documents, fell silent, everyone was waiting to see who would be the first bird, and poke this thing out.

'Flower' Mingxuan came faster than 'Hua' Jiu expected, he had a mist in his hair early in the morning, stood in the courtyard, and looked at the entire small courtyard with a smile on the corner of his mouth before saying, "Big sister, it's really comfortable to live in, I envy it." ”

'Hua' Jiu invited him into the hall and ordered the autumn harvest to serve tea before replying, "What is there to envy, the land is small after all, it is not as spacious as Brother Mingxuan's side, and it is not as spacious as your incense courtyard in the capital." ”

These words made 'Hua' Mingxuan raise his eyebrows, "Then how about I invite my eldest sister to go back to Beijing and stay in the Xiangyuan together?" ”

"Not how." 'Hua' Jiuyi refused, she was just polite just now, I don't believe that 'Hua' Mingxuan couldn't hear it, but even if it was polite, 'Hua' Mingxuan replied like that, she couldn't tell what it felt like in her heart, and she always felt a little uncomfortable, "I don't know why Brother Mingxuan came over so early today?" ”

"You don't know?" 'Flower' Mingxuan picked up the teacup, first put the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and then took a sip, "The eldest sister will be very sad to beat around the bush with me like this, in the past, didn't the eldest sister directly use me completely?" ”

'Flower' Jiu smiled, it seemed to be the word utilization in the mouth of 'Hua' Mingxuan, "Dare to ask, didn't Brother Mingxuan use me?" It's just each other, and mutual benefits are at most temporary, and at most they are used. ”

'Hua' Mingxuan only chuckled, and didn't say much, "Presumably the eldest sister received the documents from the government, it is estimated that the eldest sister also knew that the 'Hua' family in the capital has always been on the side of the second prince, this Yang Tui is the eldest prince's person, and there is still a bit of a relationship between the eldest sister and the second prince, so what does the eldest sister think we should do?" ”

The pale eyes flashed, and the nine fingers of the 'flower' rubbed the edge of the teacup, "Brother Mingxuan only said that the 'flower' family is on the side of the second prince, so dare to ask, where is the brother standing?" ”

'Hua' Mingxuan didn't answer this question, he just didn't hear it, "Otherwise, the eldest sister will form an alliance again?" The incense guild, the dark incense building, plus the family forces behind you and me, basically the entire Zhaozhou is monolithic, and the eldest prince wants to get a piece of the pie, which is simply not possible. ”

'Hua' Jiu didn't want 'Hua' Mingxuan to answer, she looked at him and smiled lightly, "Did Ah Jiu say that in fact, cooperating with Brother Mingxuan is the most reassuring." ”

'Flower' Mingxuan heard that the 'lips' were raised, and the warmth on his body was like ink, and the half-hidden handful of hair could no longer hide his handsomeness, "I am very happy to be able to get the words of the eldest sister." ”
