Chapter 12 Before the Jiangnan Incident

eleven

Hong Yu, who was frightened by Yinfeng, completely gave up the idea of ​​going to the palace to find an errand, and went to the shop diligently to help every day.

On this day, Hongyu was looking at the account book in the silk and satin village, so Yinhu dragged Yinhu in.

"Boss, are there any new products here?" Yinzhen shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door, "Yes, yes, please come inside." Here comes a benefactor.

"Master, this is the best Suzhou silk. Look at the grain and texture." The shopkeeper introduced with a flattering smile. Yinzhen picked up the silk and looked at it before throwing it back.

"That's it? Are you fooling around? This thing is also called a good thing? The bully master has never seen the world?" Yinzhen sneered, and turned to Yinhu and said: "Myna, look, even this thing dares to take it Come out and show your father."

"Hehe, the master looks okay, and it's good enough to take it back and use it as a rag." Yinhu smiled like a spring breeze.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he was sweating coldly. The silk he brought out was not only the best but also a first-class product, but these two masters said so, obviously they were here to ask for trouble.

"Master, this is a small shop, and this is already the best in the shop, so please don't embarrass the little one." The shopkeeper said politely.

"Hehe, come on, I won't tease you anymore, I'll ask your boss to come out." Yinzhen smiled and threw the silk into the shopkeeper's arms, "This...father... the boss is not here!" The shopkeeper is also a person, listening to Yinzhen By saying this, she knew that his status was extraordinary.

"Eighth Uncle, Ninth Uncle." Hearing the noise outside, Hong Yu came out from the back room, and saw the two uncles sitting in the lobby, while the shopkeeper stood aside with a troubled expression on his face.

"Hongyu?" Yinti looked at him with a look of surprise, he thought it would be Yinti who came, but he didn't expect it to be this nephew who never cared about family affairs.

"Haha, Hongyu has grown up and started helping with housework!" Yinhu's reaction was obviously faster than Yinhu's, "Uncle Ba is joking." Hongyu greeted the two uncles and welcomed them into the inner hall .

"Hong Yu, why did you come here if you didn't go to the palace to ask for an errand?" Yinzhen asked strangely.

Generally, the royal family will find him an errand in the palace when he is old, especially Hong Yu is still the eldest son, and he will definitely be the prince in the future. Yinti didn't get him into the palace, but sent him to the shop instead. Yinzhen expressed that she was very puzzled!

"(⊙o⊙)..." Hong Yu rubbed his hands in embarrassment, lowered his head and rubbed his feet on the tiles on the floor, and said coyly, "I also want to enter the palace to ask for an errand, but... but I Mar said..."

Before Hongyu finished speaking, both Yinhu and Yinyu laughed. They understood that Yinti bought it in their shop because they were afraid that Hongyu would be bullied in the palace because of his simple heart.

"It's okay, the errands in the palace may not be better than here, and here is not bad." Yinhu looked around and comforted.

"But..." Hong Yu still muttered and wanted to say something, but after a long time, nothing came out.

Yinhu Yinhu looked at Hong Yu like this and found it funny, the boss's son is not as shrewd as the boss!

Seeing Yinhu Yinhu's sniggering, Hong Yu heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He has been in the shop for a while, so naturally he is no longer the little white rabbit he used to be.

He also understands Yinti's painstaking efforts, now that Yinti and Yinti suddenly appear in the shop, Hongyu, who has already turned black, naturally won't simply think that they are really here to buy silk and satin. clear.

But he knew that it was right to pretend to be stupid at this time.

"Hongyu, since these are all from my family, take out any good things! Don't hide them." Yinzhen said, shaking her fan and squinting her eyes.

"Well, Uncle Jiu, what I showed you just now is the best, it's really nothing." Hong Yu offered tea to Yinzhen with a bitter face.

"Hi! You little Hongyu, if you haven't learned this skill, you will learn to deceive people, right?" Yinzhen stood up and flicked Hongyu's head,

"Stop arguing with Uncle Jiu, take out your things quickly!"

"Uncle Jiu, what exactly do you want!" Hong Yu looked at Yinzhen with a bitter face and tears in his eyes, "Okay, old Jiu, you too, Hong Yu is still a junior, why don't you be an uncle?" It doesn’t even look like it? Hongyu, your ninth uncle is talking about embroidery, you go

take it! "Yinhu seems to be kind enough to rescue Hongyu, but in fact he is forcing Hongyu to show the real thing.

Hong Yu curled his lips, he knew that these two uncles must go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

Asking the shopkeeper to bring a few pieces of embroidery, Hong Yu spread them out one by one in front of Yinzhen, "Uncle Jiu, this is the best Suzhou embroidery."

Yinzhen leaned over to look at each piece, rolled his eyes, and sat back on the chair without saying a word, "What's wrong with Uncle Jiu? Don't you care about these things?" Hongyu saw that Yinzhen was showing signs of anger, He looked at Yinhu for help.

"Hongyu!" Yinhu also said with some dissatisfaction, "You don't know about Uncle Jiu? He always has as many of these ordinary things as he wants, why don't you hurry up and take out the good things!"

"Oh, my nephew understands." Hong Yu pretended to be enlightened, and beckoned to the shopkeeper to take out a few more embroidery pieces.

This time, the corners of Yinzhen's mouth finally turned up, "If you take it out earlier, it will be over." Yinzhen said half complaining and half angry, picked up the embroidery and began to watch it carefully.

Yinhu also came over, Yinhu gave Yinhu a wink, Yinhu nodded, Yinhu put down the handkerchief, "Hongyu, your double-sided embroidered handkerchief is really good, but it's too small Do you have a bigger one?"

"Uncle Jiu, I'm not afraid of your jokes. There are really only these handkerchiefs in the store. Uncle Jiu is also in the silk business. He knows that it's hard to find embroidered women these years, and we are in the capital, and it is not convenient to transport them. This double-sided embroidery It was originally a treasure in embroidery, and the embroidery is complicated, and it can't be embroidered without more than ten years of skill. Only these few pieces were brought back from the south of the Yangtze River by me, Amato. It’s not bad, so I borrowed it and put it in the store for a few days.” Hong Yu explained with a smile.

"Hmph, Hong Yu, don't fool Jiu Shu here, who doesn't know that elder brother is famous for being a dutiful son, how could these unworthy things show filial piety? Jiu Shu doesn't treat you here It's time to beat him, next month is Qianqiu, I'm going to buy some good things to honor her old man, Uncle Jiu won't make it difficult for you, just make a screen for Uncle Jiu!" Yinzhen patted Hongyu on the shoulder, She looked at him with an 'I'm fine' expression on her face.

Hong Yu lowered his head in embarrassment, thinking about the possible consequences of taking out the things, but he couldn't refuse Yinzhen, after struggling for a long time, Hong Yu still waved to the shopkeeper.

Whispered a few words in the shopkeeper's ear, the shopkeeper walked to the backyard, and after a while came out with a delicate small screen in his hand.

"Uncle Jiu, can you see this?" Hong Yu took the screen and put it in front of Yinzhen in a fawning manner. Yinzhen took it over and looked at it carefully, nodded and smiled and said, "That's right, how much?" Yinzi, let someone go to the grandfather's house to pay later, the grandfather and the starling have something to do, so let's go first."

The goal was achieved, Yinti pulled Yinti away, and seeing Yinti disappear at the intersection, Hong Yu hurriedly called a buddy to let him go back and inform Yinti about today's affairs.

After leaving the silk and satin village, Yinhu took Yinhu to a newly opened restaurant.

"Old Jiu, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd today? Brother, I am really confused." Yinhu looked at the signboard - Jiangnanju, and said with a smile.

"Brother, let's go in first and talk while eating." Yinzhen made a gesture of invitation, and Yinzhen strode into the house. Yinzhen had already booked a private room, and the food came out after a while, and Yinzhen threw it away A few pieces of silver were given to Xiao Er, "Go down, remember to help the master drive away the flies!"

"Little one understands, little one, thank you, Grandpa!" Xiao Er nodded and went down.

"Brother, try these dishes, they are all the famous Jiangnan flavor here." Yinyu added dishes for Yinhu.Yinhu tasted it and frowned, it was so sweet.

Seeing Yinhu's appearance, Yinzhen smiled: "Myna, this is the Jiangnan cuisine. We northerners like salty taste, but southerners prefer sweet taste. Most of the restaurants in the capital also have Jiangnan cuisine, but to cater to the north. People's tastes, although sugar is added, but not much."

"That's the reason why you took Grandpa to see the boss's silk and satin shop today, and Grandpa came here to eat?" Yinhu put down his chopsticks, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"Master guessed right, this is also the new shop opened by the boss." Yinhu continued to add.Yinzhen nodded with a smile.

"So..." Yinhu paused, and said seriously, "Did something happen in Jiangnan?"

"Yes..." Yinhu replied in a low voice, and Yinhu squinted her eyes to signal Yinhu to continue.

"Originally, there was nothing wrong with the imperial examination fraud. Zhang Boxing wrote a letter saying that the imperial examination was fraudulent. Unfortunately, just in time for the new emperor to ascend the throne, all he was busy was just sending Zhang Penghe to investigate and deal with a few people. , our people are all small characters, and we are not involved too much." Yinhu said to Yinhu not very happy.

"But who knew that Zhang Boxing was endless, and he brought up the matter of Garli's corruption and bribery. The old boy didn't know what to think. Everyone knew that Gali was the prince. Now the prince has become the emperor. The so-called If one person can ascend to heaven, he must get rid of this frown." Speaking of this, Yinzhen sighed pretendingly.

"But I don't know whether Zhang Bo's fate is good, or Gali's luck is too bad. At this time, it was found out that Gali and the salt smuggler got together. The prince immediately scolded him after reading the memorial, and then sent someone there Jiangnan ordered a thorough investigation into this matter." Yinhu moved over to Yinhu.

"On the surface, it's still investigating the matter of accepting and accepting bribes in Gali, but secretly, it's investigating the matter of smuggling salt!" Yinzhen said with a bitter face.

"Well, if it's okay to check the imperial examination, if it really finds out about private salt, it's dangerous. Those few are more or less related to this thing!" Yinhu frowned.

"Yeah, originally I planned to send our people to detect the letter, but this time the prince seems to have put in a lot of effort. Not only do we not know who is sent, but we can't even find out when they set off, and those who know The superficial ones are basically folded in the imperial examination case, and the secret ones are not easy to get in touch with for the time being." Yinzhen continued.

"Well, old nine, you are right. Don't ask them to move, just perform their own duties." Yinhu agrees with Yinhu's approach, "As for probing...do you want the boss to help?"

"Well, after all, the boss said that he would cooperate with us, so we must show some sincerity!" Yinzhen said with a smile.

"So, today you are taking Master to visit the silk and satin shop and eat, just want to tell Master that the boss has power in the south of the Yangtze River, ask Master to talk to him?" Yinhu looked at Yinhu with a smirk.

"Hehe, starlings are starlings, forgive me this time, brother, there's nothing you can do about it, and you also know that my brother's unworthy servants are all related to private salt!" Yinzhen smiled flatteringly.

Yinhu curled his lips, he knew about such a money-making errand, Yinhu must have participated in it a long time ago.

"Okay, I'm going to find a way to get the boss involved in this matter, and you should be honest, this thing comes in quickly, but the risk is also high!" Yinhu reprimanded.

"Understood, mynah, don't worry about it, my brother is sensible, so I will trouble mynah this time." Yinzhen bowed to Yinhu.
