After the square, the autumn cicadas in the house of the Yangzhou Mansion called lowly, the courtyard was colorful, people came and went, and everyone was beaming.

"Zhao Shixian?" Qi Su Niang's cheeks were slightly plump, white and red, wearing a knee-length light green kudzu thou shirt, a white gauze skirt, and a white gauze fan sitting in the shade under the eaves outside the hall.

While watching Fu Ming, Bi'er lead the girls, and the little maids to arrange the courtyard and prepare for Qi Qiang's family affairs, she asked Qixi in confusion, "Who is he?" The emperor asked him to make a river platform? ”

Qixi was eighteen years old, half a year younger than Xiao Lian, wearing a navy blue shuttle cloth short shirt, and the two dimples on his face made him look only fifteen years old. Qixi said softly: "Mr. Zhou said that Zhao Shixian was the former governor of Shandong, and he is also very familiar with river affairs. Last month, he had a meritorious role in arresting the third prince of Zhu, and he ...... I took the path of Lord Cao again......"

Qi Su Niang was taken aback, "Third Prince Zhu? Lord Cao? ”

Qixi glanced at Qi Su Niang, but did not make a sound, Qi Su Niang stood up willingly, shook the fan and walked into the empty hall, and sat down at the table of the four immortals in front of the god cabinet, "You tell me carefully." ”

"It's not true, it's just news from the capital, saying that the third prince Zhu and the prince secretly have some ...... The emperor was asked to find out, and it was this Lord Zhao who caught the third prince of Zhu. The emperor transferred Zhang Boxing to the governor of Jiangsu, and asked about the candidate for Hetai, and it happened that Lord Cao was in front of the emperor, so he mentioned Lord Zhao ......"

Qi Su Niang didn't speak for a long time, and said for a long time: "Lord Zhao's contribution is not small, just like our Lord Dutai, it is a great contribution to King Qin's escort......"

"Mr. Zhou also said the same, the emperor drove the royal car to conquer Galdan, and the food was cut off halfway, and they all said that Suo Etu deliberately did it for the prince...... It was Lord Dutai who was the first to deliver food. This time, the emperor abolished the crown prince, and the reason on the palace newspaper was to peep into the imperial tent, and the first four words were not bad, and the last four words could hardly be said to have nothing to do with the third prince of Zhu......"

Qi Su Niang smiled bitterly and said: "We don't accept gifts of less than 5,000 taels on the door of Lord Tai, this Lord Zhao and Lord Cao are the emperor's old confidants, and now although he has relieved himself of his salt duties and gone to the capital, the emperor still looks at it differently......"

Mr. Zhou said. Lord Cao may not have suffered much. It's just looking at the emperor's thoughts. Lord Cao doesn't dare to talk nonsense now......"

Qi Su Niang let out a long sigh. "After our Lord Tai takes office. The poor people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have never stopped grabbing grain. The official was shocked a few times. Even Lord Dutai couldn't move a single head. I'm afraid that this Lord Zhao's official reputation is not very good, right? Lord Futai's face is ugly for a while......"

Qixi said softly: "It's still like that." The flood season is over. Trimming river construction site silver...... Only a third of it was allocated. There was no other news. ”

Qi Su Niang sneered: "He is even more powerful than those gentlemen." People have to pay it back. He swallowed it in his own stomach. Fourteen or fifteen thousand taels is only a mansion in Yangzhou, and he is not afraid of dying."

Tanabata secretly raised his eyes. looked at Qi Su Niang. "Grandma, Mr. Zhou, said that I had to ask my grandmother to have an idea about this. I have thought of a few ways in the past few days. Mr. Zhou didn't think it was ......"

Qi Su Niang sighed. "This time it's not like the last one. The last time it was just a little delayed. You can also borrow from salt merchants. Make up some yourself, too. Now I borrowed it and there is nowhere to return it. Where will the salt merchants be willing to borrow? Unless he adds fire consumption and land taxes. At present, the two provinces have been tossed by Lord Dutai. He mostly watched Lord Dutai add this place. And he subtracted another. I don't care about the evaluation anymore. Where can I go to add? Qi Su Niang groaned. What is Mr. Zhou's idea? ”

Qixi hesitated for a while, and whispered: "Mr. Zhou has no idea, but Xiaodi listened to Mr. Zhou walking around the room in private, or said that the Lord of Caoshang now has no heart to care about that side, so they let it go, and they don't have to pay tribute to the prince, they only take some of the lords everywhere, or they take the lion's own head"

Qi Su Niang gritted his teeth and said: "No wonder he is now fat-headed and big-eared, and he doesn't mention carrying Cao Sanniang into the mansion at all, and he has a new sister."

Qixi was taken aback by Qi Su Niang's fierce face, and said with a wry smile: "The little one doesn't know the depth, grandma asked, and the small one is reported truthfully." It's just a small thought, but I can't toss it anymore like last year......"

Qi Su Niang was stunned for a moment and laughed, "Don't worry." I still want to walk around with Nafu, how dare I do this with my grandfather? Besides, you won't listen to me, will you? Looking at Qixi with a disapproving face, he laughed and said: "Hurry up and wait for your Mr. Zhou, by the way, if you like Zhi'er, you can save money, wait for Zhi'er to come to tea when he is eighteen, don't learn from your Mr. Zhou every day teahouse, that's their sour problem, let's drink tea, can we distinguish what water, what stove, what firewood?" It's still practical to eat and drink to save money and drink. ”

Qixi 's face turned red, laughing and shy, "Grandma......"

Qi Su Niang grinned, "Go quickly,

I can't say these words to Mr. Zhou, otherwise I won't treat you. ”

Qixi was frightened, and when he was about to respond immediately, he felt that his face was thin, he sighed for a while, and lost his sentence, "No one said anything about the little one" and ran away.

Qi Su Niang looked at the back of Qixi Festival, walked out of the hall with a smile, and walked to the side of the steps and said: "Auntie, the little one is discussing with Xi Pozi, and there is still a month of autumn, and Wenqu Xing is being invited in the Tribute Courtyard. ”

Qi Su Niang covered her mouth and smiled, "Okay, it's up to you." ”

For the sake of Shen Yuezhi and Qi Qiang's decency, Qi Su Niang asked Chen Yan to recognize her as her godsister, and asked Qi Qiang to buy a three-entry house at the west end of Fuya Street and make it a Yangzhou courtyard in Qi Mansion. When he arrived at the auspicious time, Qi Qiang was dressed in a six-grade thousand-household leopard mending auspicious suit, with a golden crown and a red horse, and went to the government to pick up relatives.

Qi Su Niang personally combed Shen Yuezhi's face with red, combed her head with red, Shen Yuezhi phoenix crown, tearfully bid farewell to her sister-in-law and sister-in-law Qi Su Niang, in the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers in half of the city, sat on the eight-lift sedan chair, Chen Yan wore a four-grade auspicious suit, led the subordinate officials of the government office, escorted the sedan chair to send off relatives, and passed all the way from the front of the Gongyuan on the street of the palace, it was really beautiful.

As soon as the bride went out, Qi Su Niang rushed to the Yangzhou Courtyard of Qi Mansion. The house was already crowded, with a phoenix hairpin on Lianxiang's head, a cream red lotus with wide sleeves, and a skirt of the same color, leading Rui'er, Sister Gui, Bi'er and others to greet the ladies in each house.

The men in front were caught by Li Siqin leading Lian Dachuan, Xiaolian, Qixi and others, each according to their seats, and waited outside to hear the sound of firecrackers, and the sedan chair saw that they had reached the door, and the guests all hugged out.

The courtyard of Qi Mansion is the size of three entrances, full of flowers and trees, and behind the side of the hall is a winding verandah, the two sides of the verandah are planted with willows, and the long willows are gently swaying with the breeze of early autumn. Lian Zhenyun was dressed in a royal blue eight-regiment satin long jacket robe, a royal blue brocade hat on his head, and a red Beijing silk hat on the jade top, standing on the verandah, frowning and looking at the chaos in front of the mansion from afar.

Lian Dahe whispered: "Guankun of the six counties of Yangzhou Prefecture, Lianghu, Changzhou, Shandong, Zhili Cao Gang, and Jiangning City, all the people who got the news came, and the Lord Dutai sent people to send gifts. The momentum of the eighth master is ...... now"

Lian Zhenyun said slowly: "When I was just a small leader around the gang leader, I remember that the second gang leader was also very powerful. On the 40th birthday of the second gang leader's wife, she didn't greet the gang leader, but set up a banquet in Huai'an Yuhe Building, and the leaders of the whole gang went to celebrate...... Even the people from Tankou in Yangzhou Prefecture rushed there. I remember that when the banquet was still halfway through, everyone was called back to the jar and scolded for finding an excuse. Those altar owners who rushed back from outside have been replaced in a few years......" laughed lowly, "The emperor's body is still very ......"

Lian Dahe said respectfully: "The little one understands." Lian Zhenyun turned around and patted his right arm, "The new medicine can still be used?" The second master hasn't been yelling and feeling uncomfortable in the past few days......" didn't wait for Lian Dahe to answer, and said with a slight smile: "The big boat is not too young, there is no one around, you can pick a day to carry Qin Ba'er over for him......"

The autumn wind suddenly rose with a chill, and the willow branches flew in from both sides of the cloister, dancing wildly, leaving only a narrow road in the middle. The cold sweat on Lian Dahe's back flowed down, his face was gray, his feet were weak, and he knelt down with a bang, "Big boss...... Ship...... He was confused for a while......"

Lian Zhenyun pulled him up with a smile, "What are you anxious about, this brick ground is cold and hard, I remember that you still have a wound on your leg." ”

Lian Dahe trembled and was pulled up by him, and Lian Zhenyun smiled: "The big boat has been with me since I was six years old, even if you pulled it, it has been fifteen years now." Although he is not as good as you, he can do his errands clearly, and he is faithful to me. It's just a woman, since he likes it, and the reward for him is that he jumps up and down in the Shuanghong private room of Wuwei Building, so you should teach him if you can't hold your breath, but it's just a woman."

Lian Dahe was dripping with cold sweat, and suddenly heard Lian Zhenyun's voice suddenly break, his heart was shocked, and he secretly raised his eyes to see the face of the big boss, but inadvertently saw the end of the verandah, and slowly walked over a woman wearing a two-color gold and red-edged Hangzhou satin cardigan, a cherry red arch and a blue blue folded skirt, and a woman holding a fan of Xiangfei's mud gold and white yarn in her hand. The woman's complexion was very good, but her body was very thin, or she had become thinner because of the exertion of the past few days, and the long wicker stroops caressed her with the wind, as if they were about to sweep her away.

The woman stopped at a distance of ten paces, smiled and blessed slightly. Before Lian Zhenyun moved, Lian Dahe had quietly retreated, bypassed a turnaround, and walked to the bottom of the stone steps at Langkou. He gestured to the big boat that had come to him and listened intently to the staccato words coming from the verandah. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next.)
