更新时间2014-4-311:46:20字数:2786

At the beginning of the month, a new restaurant opened in Jinling City, named "Yipinlou".The shopkeeper claims that this building belongs to the same owner as the "Yipin Building" in the capital.

The "Yipin Building" in the capital city has only been open for two years, but it seems to have become the favorite place for dignitaries.The food inside, that is a particular, every way is fine workmanship.A dish of "white jade cabbage heart" needs to be simmered with the broth made by eighteen old ducks. The taste is so delicious that people can even swallow their tongues into their stomachs.In fact, that dish is nothing more than a cabbage heart, but it is so delicious that people can eat it.

Not only is the delicacy of the food in this "Yipinlou" jaw-dropping, but the prices of the dishes are even more heart-wrenching.That one dish of "white jade cabbage heart" costs 70 taels of silver.

Although the price of this "first-class building" is extremely expensive, it is very popular.

The desks, chairs and tea tables in the "Yipin Building" are all high-quality red sandalwood; none of the calligraphy and painting decorations in the building are fakes, and all of them are authentic works of everyone; the tea prepared in the building is all accompanied by royal tributes. The guys in the building have all been carefully trained, and their tongues are so eloquent that people are willing to dig out their purses; there are also girls in the building who accompany the wine, and they all know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Those watery girls are as enchanting as the famous Yangzhou skinny horses, but they know how to advance and retreat according to the rules.It is said that these girls were also carefully cultivated, and they even invited the nuns who retired from the palace to teach them the rules.These girls come out with a demeanor comparable to that of everyone's ladies, and they are by no means comparable to the so-called courtesans in the brothel Chu Pavilion.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this "first-class building" is making a lot of money every day.

Some people can't help but wonder, is there no one who is envious of this "Yipinlou" and troubles them?

Since the opening of this "Yipin Building", no one has dared to make trouble.Those playboys were all warned by their families.Those who can enter and exit the "Yipin Building" are either rich or noble, and some of the regular customers are even clan princes. Not far from "Yipin Building" is the yamen of the Infantry Commander, and the yamen servants from Shuntian Mansion on the street in front of the gate would come and wander around every two hours.

You talk about it, but who else would dare to make trouble?Even those rascals are very colorful, this persimmon has to be picked softly.This "Yipinlou" is simply a diamond, if you want to bite someone's flesh, you have to break a mouth full of teeth.

Such a well-known "Yipin Building" actually opened in Jinling City? !

When those rich salt merchants heard the news, they were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.Everyone is gearing up, ready to go to that rich township to experience the enjoyment of aristocrats.

The rich people in Jinling City were happy, but Zhen Yingjia was depressed to death.

At this time, Zhen Yingjia was sitting in her small study, thinking about her thoughts like water.

How come this good "Yipinlou" opened in Jinling at this juncture?

Zhen Yingjia is a cautious person.Although he was so brave that he dared to put his hand into the salt tax silver, he still didn't dare to directly confront the current Long Live Lord.

Zhen Yingjia knew that Kangxi was an emperor who cared about his reputation and cherished his feathers very much, and he had to be famous to be a teacher.Regarding the matter of withholding salt tax money, Zhen Yingjia has been very careful in handling all personnel matters.He firmly believed that Kangxi would never do anything to him without any evidence to implicate him.After all, Zhen Yingjia's mother was once the wet nurse of Kangxi's late biological mother, Empress Xiao Kangzhang.Empress Xiaokangzhang went early, and because of his admiration for his biological mother, Kangxi was extremely tolerant of the old people who had served Empress Xiaokangzhang.

However, Zhen Yingjia also knew that once the corruption of ink, salt, tax and silver was exposed, Kangxi would definitely not spare him.Even without the Dali Temple trial, Zhen Yingjia herself knew that this crime would at least affect the three clans.I'm afraid that except for his old mother, everyone in the house will be buried with him.

It's just that knowing it is one thing, but it's quite another thing to be unmoved when faced with these countless and huge silver taels.At least, he, Zhen Yingjia, hasn't cultivated to the point where he treats money like dung.This time, the second time is familiar, and I can't stop holding it.

Zhen Yingjia doesn't believe that there is such a person in this world who can be rich but not promiscuous.Zhen Yingjia used real gold, silver, mansions and beauties to drag down all the historical inspectors and imperial censors.Only now this Lin Ruhai is like a stupefied tree, not accepting the olive branch he handed over at all.

Just when Zhen Yingjia was hesitating whether to give Lin Ruhai some warnings to let him know some of her methods, the head of the Xue family actually made such a foolish trick for some selfish reasons.When it was first found out that Xue Wang was the one who did it, Zhen Yingjia really hated the woman's stupidity, and even felt that the death of the Patriarch of the Xue family was not wronged at all. is incompetent.And this Mrs. Xue is just a housewife after all. She really has long hair and short knowledge, and her vain behavior made Lin Ruhai take precautions.However, when Zhen Yingjia found out that there was such a master who came and went without a trace beside Lin Ruhai, he was extremely grateful for Xue Wang's act of scaring the snake.If it wasn't so, when he sent his own people to do it himself, why don't people catch him and then follow the clues to find his own?

How lucky...

The people around Lin Ruhai reminded Zhen Yingjia of what her mother had said about the emperor's secret guards.However, before that, Zhen Yingjia always regarded it as a bedtime story for her old mother to lull her to bed.

Does the Lin family really have the secret guards of today's Lord Long Live?

Zhen Yingjia was very uncertain.

Is it true that Lin Ruhai is so favored by the emperor?

Because of this uncertainty, and also because Lin Ruhai's term as inspector censor is about to expire, Zhen Yingjia decided not to take any action against the Lin family for the time being, and wait and see what happens.

Maybe this thorny Lin Ruhai can be moved to another nest...

Just as Zhen Yingjia was going into hibernation, the "Yipin Building" in Jinling City opened.

Zhen Yingjia's heart felt as uncomfortable as being scratched by that cat's paw.

The backstage of this "Yipinlou" must be an unusual person.Otherwise, how to make those proud royal family members dare not act as uncles there, it will all be polite.

Zhen Yingjia believed very positively that this "Yipin Building" was probably related to the current Long Live God.

Did Kangxi already know something?

Zhen Yingjia was shocked by her own thoughts and broke into a cold sweat.He hurriedly found the big housekeeper and asked him to send out his men to investigate this "first-class building".

After the butler left, Zhen Yingjia closed her eyes, and unconsciously stroked the pair of golden nanmu beads with her right hand on her left hand.This string of Buddhist beads was obtained by his old mother from Puji Temple in Yangzhou. It is said that it was placed in front of the white lotus for seven to 49 days, and it has some Buddha nature.

Bodhisattva bless my Zhen family to survive this catastrophe...

For the first time in her life, Zhen Yingjia secretly made a wish to the Buddha.

*******************************

In the evening, the butler came back.

The "Yipin Building" can only be entered with the reservation record, and it is really impossible for idlers to enter.

The status of the housekeeper of the Zhen family is not enough to make the staff of "Yipinlou" look at him differently, but politely ask him to go to the cashier to pay the deposit, which is still a deposit after one month, because the seat within this month has already been booked by the rich. The oily salt merchants are fully booked.

The big butler went back to the house with his head downcast.When approaching the door of the house, I saw Xue Gui, the chief housekeeper of the Xue family, who had been walking around the door of his house.

Hearing Xue Gui's words, the housekeeper of the Zhen family could only twitch.He didn't give Xue Gui an accurate word, so he sent him away.Then, he hurriedly told Zhen Yingjia what Xue Gui said.

clatter...

Zhen Yingjia's third aunt sent a bowl of ginseng soup to the floor directly.

Zhen Yingjia was so furious that she paced back and forth in the study resentfully, raised her head a few times and wanted to say something but fell silent.

What a loser! !

I haven't looked at that little bastard for a few days, so I spent such a little money? !

What an asshole! ! !

Will Xue Wang know how to teach children? !

What a loser! ! ! !

Zhen Yingjia really wanted someone to bring Xue Pan, that little bastard, to her so that she could kick her hard.

He has completely forgotten that he is also one of the culprits who caused Xue Pan to fail to learn well.

"The Xue family is wondering if the master can come forward and ask those merchants to return the money..."

Let's dream.

Zhen Yingjia felt that Xue Wang must have lost his head.

Could this woman be pointing at herself to make the early rafters for her house?

Not to mention that there is a "Yipinlou" suspected of being Kangxi's spy standing there, even when he is free, Zhen Yingjia would not ruin his reputation by doing such bullying things!

It's just that Zhen Yingjia's heart hurts even with the millions of taels of silver.

"Go and find out, how did this little bastard Xue Pan spend such a large amount of money?"
