"Since there are stones, why don't you move them away?!" Su Zicheng roared viciously, Lu Feng took a breath, straightened his clothes, shook Su Zicheng to the end, and then straightened up, before answering Su Zicheng's words: "It's already kicked away, I'm just asking Xiao Wu, didn't you stumble just now?" It is in the middle of the road. Halfway through Lu Feng's words, he turned his head and squeezed his eyes at Li Xiaoyi, Su Zicheng stared at Lu Feng, and asked coldly, "Have you practiced in the morning?" ”

"I'm •••••• going, I'm on my way to practice!" After Lu Feng's heart was weak for a moment, he pointed to the second door and replied, Su Zicheng looked at him gloomily and squeezed out a few words: "I'll practice with you later!" Lu Feng was clever, subconsciously took half a step back, waved his hands again and again and said with a smile: "I can practice by myself, you are busy, you are busy, you are busy!" I'm •••••• myself, I'll go find Senior Sister Xiuyun, I'll practice with Senior Sister Xiuyun, you're busy! Lu Feng stepped back as he spoke, and in the end, he raised his hand at Li Xiaoqi and grabbed it, and said quickly: "Just now, Li Ji in the east of the city sent someone to say that the first batch of Nandang chicken head rice came this morning, I will go to see it after I finish practicing, and we will eat it when I pick it up!" ”

"Good! It just so happens that there are good fresh shrimp today, let's eat shrimp and chicken head rice at noon! Li Xiaoqi replied with a smile, Lu Feng's hand waved down heavily to show his agreement, and he leaned back, and ran away in a few jumps. Su Zicheng looked at the direction where Lu Feng disappeared with a vicious stomach, this good mood in the morning was completely ruined by him!

Li Xiaoqi looked at Su Zicheng's face full of anger, moved to the side, stood directly opposite Su Zicheng and said with a smile: "Did the prince eat breakfast?" ”

"Nope!" Su Zicheng took a deep breath and pressed down on the nameless fire,

"I didn't eat it either, I asked Begonia to make vegetarian rice noodles last night, as well as siu mai, shrimp dumplings, and cooked millet porridge, or else, the prince will eat with me, right?" Li Xiaoqi smiled brightly, Su Zicheng suppressed the nameless fire, exhaled and nodded, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly turned his head and instructed Xirong to put breakfast in the garden Jicui Pavilion, let Su Zicheng go to Jicui Pavilion and said with a smile: "The prince came back just right, a bunch of things are waiting for you to decide, one is the matter of tea, wine, and salt, Shi Yu and Zhao Hongzhi and Ming Qian have been busy for more than half a month, and have set a rule for bidding, I have seen it, and I will show it to the prince later, this is July and a half, and the day of the bidding is set on the next day of the Midyear Festival, what do you see?" ”

"You are in charge of this matter, and you don't need to show it to me, just tell me when you have time." Su Zicheng's breath gradually smoothed out, Li Xiaoqi nodded in response, and then said: "It's good to be presided over by the prince." Li Xiaoqi saw that Su Zicheng nodded and agreed, and then continued: "The second thing is the death of the sacrifice army in the Zhongyuan Festival, I thought, we not only want to sacrifice our Beiping fallen soldiers, those lonely ghosts and wandering souls in Wu Land, but also sacrifice a sacrifice, it is best to sacrifice the same way, this matter is not easy to say in the letter, I will let Shi Yu and them prepare quietly first, and even prepare a sacrifice document, the prince sees, is this appropriate?" Su Zicheng stopped his steps, his face stretched a little, and he nodded again and again and smiled: "Suitable!" How inappropriate! I thought so too! This Wu land, we are just like the people! Are Chuzhou and Runzhou ready? Tell them, the same sacrifice! You wrote the memorial text? ”

"It's all ready, and I'll let people pass it over with a letter and a sacrificial text later, where can I write a sacrificial text? It was written by Shi Yu. Li Xiaoqi replied with his hands behind his back easily, Su Zicheng glanced at her and smiled: "Also, they don't have that blessing, they can help you to help, Shi Yu heard that he is also a talent, how is it written?" Have you seen it? ”

"Well, let him change it four or five times, and I'll show it to the prince later."

"Hmm." Su Zicheng agreed, turned his head to look at Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "This year's harvest year on Huainan Road, the rice fields are golden everywhere, and the rice ears are heavy when they look at it, I have never seen so many rice fields, and the people who see it are hot!" I'll take you out of town tomorrow! ”

"Tomorrow the prince has to cry well! It is not advisable to go out of the city to wander around and look at the rice fields. Speaking of this bumper year is also sad, the most afraid of the grain and hurt the peasants, have to be collected at a high price is the best, this has to be a lot of silver, look at the day after tomorrow to bid it, this year to buy rice seems to have to come out of here. Li Xiaoqi sighed and said, Su Zicheng's steps slowed down, his brows gradually furrowed, and he looked at Li Xiaoqi and smiled bitterly: "How much silver can this have?" I told my eldest brother about the harvest year on Huainan Road, and my eldest brother will think about it. ”

"Do you still have silver?" Li Xiaoqi turned his head and asked, Su Zicheng shook his head in annoyance, Li Xiaoqi turned his head, sighed and changed the topic: "Don't talk about this, let's have breakfast first, and then I will tell the prince about the bidding, as well as the sacrificial text, the prince has to take a good look, if there is nothing wrong, quickly let people copy the past to Taiping Mansion and Chizhou Mansion, and there are others, a bunch of things!" Su Zicheng responded with a smile, the two went to Jicui Pavilion for breakfast, just out of the garden, Nanning came in, first smiled and greeted Li Xiaoyi, stood up and reported: "Master, Ruan Da, the steward of the Shui family, asks to see." Su Zicheng frowned, turned his head to look at Li Xiaoqi and asked, "What is the matter with him?" Have you ever seen you? ”

"I've heard that I've been here for a while, but I haven't come to look for me, what can I do? Come to Yangzhou at this time, it must be for business! Li Xiaoqi said with a smile, Su Zicheng's brows furrowed a little more, he took a deep breath, thought about it, looked at Nanning and ordered, "Lead him to the side hall and wait." ”

In the side hall, Ruan Da dared to sit down, standing next to the chair with his hands down, with a hint of restlessness, and kept looking at the back of the hall, Su Zicheng went up the steps, Ruan Da heard the movement, hurriedly bowed over, knelt down and kowtowed a few times and said: "Ruan Da kowtows to the prince!" ”

"Get up." Su Zicheng didn't stop, walked straight to the top and sat down, took the tea served by the little servant, lowered his eyelids and took a sip and asked, "Your master sent you here?" What's up? ”

"Back to the prince's words, it was the eldest lord who sent the small one to come, for the sake of Huainan Road tea and wine, the family business has not been good in recent years, the eldest master and the second master have been very worried, I heard that Huainan Road tea and wine should be released like our Beiping, so I sent the small one to see the opportunity." Ruan Da bowed his hand and replied respectfully, Su Zicheng put down the cup, looked at Ruan Da and asked, "Have you seen the fifth master?" Ruan Da was stunned, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the prince's words, when the little one arrived in Yangzhou, he said that the prince was not in the city with the troops, and he waited until now, and he didn't see the prince, so he ••••••."

"If you want to do business, don't ask to see the fifth master, what do you want to see me? The fifth master has always been fair, you can't see it, the day after tomorrow, Shi Yu has already put the list, you take a good look, the day after tomorrow to go to the standard, okay, I still have something, retire. Su Zicheng stood up as he spoke, Ruan Da swallowed his saliva like coptis and swallowed heavily, but he didn't dare to say more than half a word, this second master has always been moody and temperamental, not to mention that this master has a gloomy face since he came in, Ruan looked at Su Zicheng with big eyes and disappeared in a blink of an eye, stood for a long time, and arched his hand at a small guy next to him and said: "This little brother, I am annoyed to call Nanning Nanye." The little maid glanced at him a few times, said 'um', and came out to see a rough envoy and a mother-in-law shouted: "Mrs. Yan, call Nanye, and the master in the side hall is looking for him." The mother-in-law answered, swallowed it slowly, and after a long while, Nanning came out of it.

Ruan Da gave Nanning a salute, and whispered with a smile on his face: "The prince said just now, I have to meet the fifth master, is the fifth master here now?" Do you have a message? Nanning was also full of smiles, but his words were not polite: "The fifth master is more difficult to see than the prince, this is still what your second master said, I can pass on this, but the fifth master is busy today, it is difficult to say whether he can see it, you wait first." As he spoke, he arched his hand and turned in, and after a while, he turned out, spread his hands and said: "Look, let me say it, Uncle Ruan will go back first, tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, so you don't have to come over, you will definitely not see it, the day after tomorrow may be OK, you can come and see it again." Ruan laughed with a face full of coptis flavor, and it was marked early the day after tomorrow, and it was useless to say goodbye!

Coming out of the courtyard, Ruan Da sat in the car and shook halfway, suddenly kicked the front plate of the car to stop, the car stopped, Ruan Da knocked his forehead hard, what did Zhao say where he lived? After thinking about it for a long time, it was blessed, and he hurriedly lifted the curtain and ordered: "Go to Sheep's Horn Alley!" Hutongkou, the first family! The coachman turned the head of the car and ran straight to Yangjiao Hutong, but Zhao Wuge was not at home, Zhang Zhongyi was not there, the two of them were busy until midnight these days, Ruan Daku sat in Yangjiao Hutong, drinking tea and drinking his stomach was swollen, and waited until dusk was about to pass, before waiting back to Zhao Wuge and Zhang Zhongyi, the two were extremely enthusiastic, knew everything, said everything, and talked in detail about this tea mountain, salt field and bidding, and saw that Ruan Da was only guarding in Yangzhou, all tea mountains, Lukang salt fields, and wine shops, but I didn't see a place! Fifth Brother Zhao and Zhang Zhongyi looked at each other for a moment, so they had to tell the little girl to take the booklet he made and come over, and tell Ruan Da everywhere, only in the middle of the night, the next day, Ruan Da came over early in the morning, brought a few tents to copy the booklet carefully, and then he had a little bottom in his heart.

Early the next morning, Yangzhou City is still prosperous, but there is solemnity and a touch of sadness in the traditional body, the government wants to sacrifice the death of the army, and the people want to pay tribute to their deceased relatives and friends.

Sacrifice to the fallen soldiers, Shi Yu prepared early, set up the guard of honor in the early morning, from the gate of the courtyard straight out of four or five miles away, the front four Qian Mountain is more than ten zhang high, in the morning light against the silver light, magnificent, hundreds of monks with wooden fish rattle mixed in, such a sacrifice has always been only in the Taiping Mansion, the people of Yangzhou City have seen such a lively, call friends, three layers inside and three layers outside the three layers are ready to follow and watch.
