It wasn't until late afternoon that Bai Jiuniang left Shuangjing Hutong.

Huo Roufeng went to her sister's yard, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard bursts of laughter from the house, she ran into the house in three steps and two steps, and saw that Ah Luo, the youngest in her sister's house, was vividly learning white narcissus storytelling.

When the maids saw the ninth master, they hurriedly bent their knees and saluted.

Mrs. Huo sat on the kang, leaning on the big pillow, and when she saw her sister running in, she said to the maids: "Okay, you all go to work." ”

The maids retreated one after another, but Huo Roufeng stopped Ah Luo: "Dad listened to what you just learned from White Narcissus, but it is also a little similar, no, not a few points, but ten points." ”

Ah Luo blushed, and gave the ninth master ten thousand blessings, and Mrs. Huo pushed a plate of osmanthus cakes on the table, and said, "You said it well, this plate of osmanthus cakes is rewarded to you." ”

Ah Luo saluted, took the plate of osmanthus cake, and left happily.

Seeing that everyone had withdrawn, Huo Roufeng said to her sister: "Sister, I heard that there was a letter from Guizhou today?" ”

Mrs. Huo said: "It's a letter, I haven't thought about it yet, and I always feel that King Qing's eyes are not just those tea leaves." ”

Huo Roufeng was stunned, the Guizhou in my sister's mouth refers to the branch of Yongfeng in Guiyang, Guizhou is different from other places, the big shopkeepers in other places are sent by Hangzhou, only Guizhou is different, the big shopkeeper is a local in Guizhou.

"What did the shopkeeper Liu say?" Huo Roufeng asked.

She didn't know anything about the customs of Guizhou, and it was said that the shopkeeper Liu was not a pure-bred Han Chinese, and his mother was a local bureaucrat.

Mrs. Huo took out a letter from the box and handed it to Huo Roufeng.

Huo Roufeng unfolded the letterhead and looked at it at a glance, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

She asked: "Liu Da shopkeeper said that some people in Guizhou went to Yunnan to buy seeds and wanted to grow tobacco leaves in Guizhou, but they did not survive. ”

Mrs. Huo sighed and said: "King Qing's news is really well-informed, Liu Da's shopkeeper said in the letter that there are many people in Yunnan who have long planted tobacco leaves, but the fees charged by the horse gang are extremely high, and the local people only grow tobacco for their own use, and people outside want to buy it but can't sell it, and the locals can't sell it if they want to." ”

"When my father was here, the Huo family was only engaged in tea and silk business in Yunnan, and never thought of tobacco."

"Now it seems that King Qing wants to meddle in Yunnan's business through our family, obviously not only wants tea, but also wants Yunnan tobacco."

Yes, only the caravan of the Huo family can do business with the Yunnan horse gang, although King Qing is a prince, but he can't do business blatantly, besides, the emperor of Yunnan Tiangao is far away, and it is not certain that the Yunnan horse gang will buy his face.

Huo Roufeng said with a smile: "Maybe the Yunnan horse gang doesn't know who King Qing is." ”

Mrs. Huo said: "Even if you know, you won't take him seriously, maybe in the eyes of the big gang leader of the Yunnan Ma Gang, he is not as useful as Chu Qing." ”

Huo Roufeng said: "If that's the case, then I can only ask Chu Qing not to go to Wuxi first, or go back to Yunnan to preside over the overall situation first." ”

The two sisters were all speechless, Chu Qing was the only one who could ask the abbot of Wanhua Temple about this matter, but unfortunately everything was rushed together, if Chu Qing went to Wuxi now, it would definitely delay the affairs of Yunnan.

Huo Roufeng said to her sister: "Let that matter go first, sister, I'm not in a hurry, you better hurry up and discuss the matter of Yunnan with Chu Qing, this matter cannot be delayed." ”

Mrs. Huo touched her sister's little head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when this matter is over, my sister will let Chu Qing go to Wuxi immediately."

Huo Roufeng came out of her sister's yard listlessly, and she received a letter from Zhanhuai, but this letter was not sent by six hundred miles as before, but someone made a special trip from Fujian to send the letter.

The letter was accompanied by eight mahogany boxes.

Cai Qin couldn't help frowning when she looked at these boxes, and asked the person who came to deliver the things: "What about the gift list?" ”

It was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who came, he scratched his head, and said in a Hokkien official dialect: "There is no gift list, the fifth master said to let the ninth master of your family open it by himself." ”

Cai Qin was not angry: "Who knows what you guys do?" What if it's stolen goods? What if there are snakes, insects, rats and ants hidden? ”

The young man had a bitter face: "No, this is the fifth master who put it in with his own hands, and it won't be the things you said." ”

Cai Qin was about to say more, and Huo Roufeng's voice came from behind her: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll open it myself." ”

If Zhan Huai dared to hide snakes, insects, rats and ants in it, she would catch them all and send them to the Minguo Mansion, and as for the stolen goods, of course, she would not. It wasn't until late afternoon that Bai Jiuniang left Shuangjing Hutong.
