The world is majestic

Xunyang is known as the "Three Great Tea Markets", and it is also a golden waterway through which the Yangtze River flows. There are merchants and merchants here, and the products are rich. The west of the city is especially lush. Located in the west of the city.

The carriage slowly came to a mansion, Yinhu and Yinrong got out of the carriage, looked up at the noble family in front of them, there was a seven-foot-long screen wall in front of them, and when they came here, they had already seen the archway, all of which were high-quality gold wires It was made of nanmu, and the regulation of the main entrance was very grand, Yinhu thought to himself, this Dai Shou's official residence was really unusual.

Yinfeng signaled Tang Quansheng to go forward to report. The servants at the door saw that these people were dressed in extraordinary clothes and looked luxurious, and thought to themselves that they were not ordinary people, but they did not dare to let them in hastily, and only said to let them in at the second door. Waiting, the master in the mansion was called after a while, and asked respectfully: "I don't know who are they? Why do you want to find my lord?"

Tang Quansheng stepped forward and nodded in greeting, "We are from Beijing, so we need to discuss the matter face to face with your adults in detail."

The master did not dare to make decisions on his own, but he was not sure about the identities of these people, he hesitated for a while, seeing this, Yinreng made a slight move, took a jade pendant from his waist, and ordered Tang Quansheng to pass it to the master, saying: "Your Excellency and Mr. Fan has always had a close personal relationship, so you should recognize this thing."

The pattern on the jade pendant is exactly the imprint of Yinfeng's letterheads with them every year. The master saw it clearly after just one glance, and his face changed drastically. I don’t even recognize you.” As he said this, he hurriedly ordered to the servant beside him: “Quickly call the housekeeper to invite you to the main hall, and tell him that a distinguished guest has arrived.” After speaking, he hurriedly led several people into the hall, and the maidservant had already served him. After serving tea, the master smiled and said: "Please sit down for a while, my lord will come soon, come soon."

Yinfeng smiled indifferently, and casually asked the master about the recent situation in the mansion.Yinhu held up the teacup, took a sip, and sure enough, it was Wulu, which was hard to find outside, and it was not inferior to what was supplied to the imperial court every year, and it was even a little bit better.

While sipping tea, Yinhu looked around the lobby, the whole room was clean and bright, the sun didn't shine in too much outside, and the room wasn't too hot. There was a picture of "Danya Yushu" by Huang Gongran in the main hall. ", with beautiful mountains and rivers and a broad landscape, it is authentic at first glance.Yinhu secretly smiled, Dai Shou's life is really happy, not like "extremely distressed, but there is nothing to do" said in the memorial.

The two of them only sat for half a stick of incense, and then they saw Dai Shou, the prefect of Xunyang, rushing from the corridor in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to take care of Chaozhu. Si An was sitting in a rosewood armchair, and Tang Quansheng and Lu Lianrong were separated from each other, so she knew that these two were nobles from Beijing, so she hurriedly greeted her and said, "Dai Shou, the prefect of Xunyang, has seen the two adults, and I also look forward to the two adults. Forgive me for not welcoming you personally, but I don't know how to address you two?"

These years, he worked under Fan Chengxun's subordinates, and had a lot of contacts with Yinfeng, but he had never seen his real face. At this moment, he only knew that the prince sent someone to come, but he didn't know who was in front of him, so he asked the two people in front of him with a smile .

Yinreng smiled lightly, put down the teacup in his hand and said: "You have been working with Mr. Fan all these years, and I still think you are clever. Unexpectedly, you are not open-eyed."

Dai Shou was terrified when he heard the words, and immediately knelt on the ground, trembling with sweat, "I don't know if His Highness the Crown Prince is here, I'm guilty, I'm guilty!"

Seeing his self-proclaimed Deng Deng, Yinhu changed from "lower official" to "little man". It can be seen that he was quite shocked, so he couldn't help but chuckled a few times.Yinfeng raised two long eyebrows that slanted into his temples and asked, "Why are you smiling?"

Yinhu smiled and said: "Nothing, just looking at the hot weather, the magistrate is sweating so much, he must be very hot, right? He should really be given a cup of tea to quench his thirst."

Yinfeng smiled and shook his fan and said to Dai Shou: "Since my eighth brother said that he would give tea, why don't you get up quickly to thank him?"

Dai Shou quickly got up from the ground, but he was so respectful that he didn't dare to drink the teacup that Lu Lianrong handed over.It was clearly in the lobby of his own house, but he seemed cramped and uneasy.

Yinfeng laughed and said, "Why don't you drink? Drink."

"Yes yes yes, the villain obeys, the villain will drink it now... drink it now..." Dai Shou's hand holding the teacup was still shaking violently. After taking a sip reluctantly, he calmed down and accompanied him She smiled and asked, "I don't know if His Highness the Crown Prince and the eighth elder brother came to Xunyang. The purpose of this trip is...? Do you want the villain to tell Mr. Fan to come and serve you?"

Yinfeng squinted his eyes and shook the folding fan, and said lazily: "It's nothing serious, but Huang Ama saw that the Jiangxi tea market was turbulent, and it was not going well, so he ordered Bengong and the eighth brother to come down to investigate privately. No need to say anything."

Hearing this, Dai Shou calmed down a bit, and said cautiously and respectfully: "Since that's the case, the two of you can rest at this villain's house, and the villain will order someone to clean up the wing."

Yinfeng nodded with a smile and said: "Let's do it this way. Hey, you can't see a couple of wu greens outside, so I tasted it here. Mr. Dai, what you reported is not true."

Dai Shou saw that Yinfeng's face was fine, and knew that he was not angry, so he laughed and said: "How dare a villain? There are only so many people in this house. It's not that these two nobles have come, so how can the younger one come?" Why don't you spend all your savings?"

Yinfeng laughed after hearing this, and said straightly: "Okay, okay, you have a wink. My eighth brother is weak. I must be tired after traveling all the way. Mr. Dai will send my eighth brother to the wing room to rest first." Let's take a look at Yinhu, and when Yinhu sees this, he knows that Yinrong must have something to say with Dai Shou, so why should he stay here and make fun of himself?Then he got up and brushed off his robe, "I'm really tired, I have to take care of you, my lord."

Butler Dai Shouming led the way for Yinhu, and entered the second hall at the back, which was the inner courtyard of the official residence, and all the way to the south, he saw an exquisitely arranged courtyard with two east and west rooms, separated on the left and right Listening to the ear, the housekeeper led Yinhu to the west chamber.Although the courtyard is not too big, it is very gratifying because it is full of flowers and willows, and the birds and swallows are singing green.After meeting Yinhu, he asked the housekeeper, "This yard is so well arranged, who is it usually prepared for?"

"Going back to my eighth brother, this courtyard is not commonly used at ordinary times. It's just that the governor and governors occasionally live in it when they come over."

"I see. How many years has your lord been in office? Where did you originally work?"

"Going back to my eighth brother, my lord has been the magistrate of Xunyang for four years, the first being the prefect of Huaiyang County."

"I think it must be because your adults are able to get promoted because of their ability to handle errands?" Yinhu looked around the yard with a smile, and asked the housekeeper unhurriedly.

"Brother Ba, my family has always been frugal, honest, fair and decisive, and has a good reputation in Xunyang."

Yinhu nodded and said with a smile: "You go down now, if you want to order something, I will send someone to call you."

After the butler left, he left a few maidservants behind to help Yinhu change his clothes, Yinhu dismissed the servants, pulled Lu Lianrong over and said, "Come on, let's go out for a walk."

"Now? This...Master, the crown prince is here. I'm afraid it's not good for us to go out by ourselves?"

"What's wrong?" Yinhu walked out with a smile, turned around and greeted Lu Lianrong, who was stunned, and said, "I came to check this tea market with my second brother. The second brother has his research methods, and I also have mine. The way you go out with me, I will take care of it for you if something happens to you, what are you afraid of?"

"Then...slave asks two guards to go with us?"

"You've always been very courageous, why are you so timid now! What kind of guards do you bring, it's just you and me, let's go."

Hearing this, Lu Lianrong had no choice but to follow Yinhu out of the main street through the side door of the mansion. Along the way, he saw that the scenery in Jiangxi was very different from that in the capital, and his mind gradually became a little looser. I remember everything I heard and watched on the way, and I can tell it to open the eyes of my friends when I go back.It's just that Yinhu went straight into a tea shop without any distractions along the way.

There was only one clerk in the tea shop, leaning on the counter and pushing the weights bored, he didn't greet Yinhu and the others when they came in, but lazily muttered: "If you can't afford it every day, don't come in, pick up some tea powder and mix it with water. One drink and it's over, what's the point of asking..."

Lu Lianrong became angry when he heard the words, and was about to go up to choke, but was stopped by Yinhu immediately, only to hear Yinhu's good-tempered smile: "My little brother, do you have Wulu in your shop?"

Seeing that Yinhu is young and doesn't have a local accent, but he is dressed in extraordinary clothes, and there are followers behind him. He thinks it is some young man who is out to play, so he cheers up a little bit, looks at Yinhu with a half smile and says: "I'm talking about this young master, don't talk about our place now, the whole Xunyang City can't find a tael of Wulu."

"So, what's in the shop?"

"It depends on how much money you are willing to pay." The clerk smiled, seeing Yinhu's friendly attitude and having nothing to do in the store, he stood up and said to Yinhu, "Now, this special treasure I can't find any scum of first-class tea leaves, such as Wulu, Wuyuan Mingmei, and Xiaoqimaojian, which have been broken for more than three months. As soon as there is tea, it will be taken away by the superiors. If you sell it at a high price, how can tea shops like ours make so much money for small profits, let alone three yuan can buy a brick of tea. Now, you have to add another one or two ! Even if we dare to use it, how can ordinary people buy it?”

Yinhu was thoughtful when he heard the words, "If it's something like Lushan Yunwu, how do you sell it in this small shop?"

The clerk swung the cloth towel over his shoulder, put his upper body on the counter and made a comparison with Yinhu: "A piece of tea brick, six qian, this is the price yesterday, so the shopkeeper told me this morning , Another price increase, in fact, this price increase is useless, in these days, who can afford good tea except dignitaries?"

Yinhu smiled and said, "Then how is your business in this shop? If no one buys tea, how will you continue to operate?"

The waiter scratched his head and said, "Well, the nearby restaurants always have to keep tea leaves on hand, not to mention, it can't go on like this forever, right? But, it's really hard to say, the tea market is so noisy, I don't see the officials above, Guan Guan, these years, it's still the most difficult for us ordinary people."

"I'm from another place, but I've heard from you in the past two days, saying that the magistrate here is the most upright and honest official. Even so, why doesn't he care about such a big matter?"

"Good official?" The man curled his lips and said with a sneer: "We ordinary people don't dare to talk about the old man, but this old man has been in office in our Xunyang City for four years, not to mention anything else, just the first few When Governor Yue came, the banquet they set up in Xunyang Tower was enough for us to eat for a year. The shopkeepers of these shops, I don’t know how much money we handed over to the magistrate and how much we begged for. Again, they are just collecting money and doing nothing, so what can we do? For ordinary tea growers, how many tea farmers are not growing famous tea because of the rise in tea prices, and there is no way to sell it outside. A year of hard work It's all paid off."

After hearing this, Yinhu nodded and said: "What you said is that if you die as an official, it is the common people who suffer the hardships." After saying that, he put a piece of broken silver to the clerk and said, "Thank you, brother, if it weren't for you, this would have been the case." Many things are still unknown."

Seeing this, the buddy was a little embarrassed, and waved his hands and said, "How did this happen? I didn't say anything. You can go to Xunyang City and ask random people about these things, and everyone will say the same thing."

"No, what you said is very reasonable." Yinhu pushed the money to him, "It's just that although the world is difficult now, it will be better one day." After finishing speaking, Yinhu took Lu Lianrong across the threshold Walking outside, he was quickly submerged in the crowd.

The waiter at the tea shop held the broken silver in his hand in a daze, and murmured, "What a strange young master..."

After the two came out, Yinhu didn't say a word all the way. Lu Lianrong looked at him and asked carefully, "What's wrong with you? But what the man said just now offended you?"

Yinhu frowned and shook his head, then let out a long breath and said, "I'm very depressed. When I got here, I saw and heard the turmoil, but I don't know how to do something for the local people. I'm really depressed. no."

"Isn't there still the second master here? If you have any ideas, why don't you go and talk to the second master?"

"Heh!" Yinhu sneered, "This Dai Shou and Fan Chengxun belong to the second elder brother. He is seeking personal gain, how can he really seek the welfare of the local people?"

Lu Lianrong seldom saw Yinhu angry, so he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive and dare not speak too much.

After thinking about it, Yinhu still felt at a loss, waved his hand irritably and said, "Forget it, let's go back first, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."
