A world of glory

Chapter 42 Meeting old friends and recalling the past and present of Jinzhou...

Lanyue said with a smile, "I'm the one who bears this name anyway, and I can't get away. Let you talk." As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to lift the curtain and go out.

Qin Yi felt a little uncomfortable at first, so he just tried his best to raise his spirits, and when he saw that Lanyue was about to go out, he called out: "Don't worry about this, I still have something to tell you."

Lanyue Fang turned around, sneered, and said, "What's the matter? You must call me back, and the people in the house should be idle." Qin Yi ignored it, and only asked: "In the past, the shopkeepers from Zhuangzi outside the shop You are the one who holds the account book, so you should have a lot of money, and give me the total."

Peiyu heard this, and said to Qin Yi: "What am I talking about, the young master is short of silver and can't do it. It's just the gold and silver zippers made in the past, and there are still a few hundred taels. Why bother with that account book?"

After listening to Peiyu's persuasion, Lanyue only smiled and said: "There are two books, open and dark, and you have a lot of money. Which book do you want to move?" Qin Yi laughed when he heard it, and only asked: " How come there are two accounts, but with my little savings, I am afraid that people will not be able to figure it out."

After Lanyue heard this, she sneered and said, "My lord is sincere, but we have to pay attention to everything. There are already a lot of expenses throughout the year, and there are some things that cost money from time to time, so there is nothing major about it." , but it’s all about being a little frugal, and relying on the money from the shop’s Zhuangzi, you won’t feel wronged. Only the son doesn’t care about it, but others are thinking about it. No one dares to move what the wife left behind. But it's inevitable that people's eyes are red and ears are hot, and they will be calculated if they say it."

After hearing Lanyue's words, Peiyu also said: "That's not the case. Don't talk about other people's calculations. You should make up your own mind. If there is a mistake, don't rely on this Zhuangzi shop, but rely on it." Other things won't work." Qin Yi knew in his heart that although he had his own plans, it would be inconvenient for him to be in the mansion, and these obvious properties were just a drop in the bucket, so even if he gave up, he wouldn't feel bad.He has always acted in a low-key manner, but he didn't want to hide it from everyone, but it attracted the maids around him to pay attention to it.I was angry and funny at the same time, but I was a little emotional.Then he laughed again and said, "When I'm in such a field, I have a sense of propriety in my heart. If I don't have this Zhuangzi's shop, I won't be able to make contributions."

After hearing this, Lanyue covered her sleeves and smiled, turned her face and said, "I just guessed that the young master would say that, that's all, I'm also a blind man who wastes time lighting lamps, and the light and darkness on the left and right belong to the young master." Walked to the top chest, took the key, opened the box, took out two beige Ruyi Tianhua Brocade brochures, handed them to Qin Yi and said, "Not all of them are here, the young master decides on his own, thick or thin, we I can't even make sense of it."

Qin Yi saw that Lanyue was angry, and it was not easy to pick up the brochure, so he just said with a smile: "Since you are holding it, let's count it." Peiyu came over, took the brochure, flipped through it, and said with a smile: "Not to mention It is said that the field shop left by Mrs. Side has made a lot of income over the years, most of which have been bought into property, and the cash in the account is full of less than [-] taels of silver. If you want to use it, you can just take it." There was another pause , smiled and said, "It's not even the shop that has been discounted for money." But the words have the meaning of complaining.

Qin Yi didn't pay attention to it, only thought for a moment, and ordered: "Let's prepare 5000 taels of silver, and we'll talk about it later." Thinking of something else, he asked with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you talk about the farm, but as for the shop, I don't care. If you don't care about it, you should order someone to set up a rice shop or something?"

Yizhu laughed when he heard this, and replied with a smile: "Young master, what happened today, I can't forget it. There are only a few acres of Zhuangzi's land here. If there are rice lines and cloth lines, where can I find the yield. Besides, although the people below are in charge, but there is no master behind the family, it takes a lot of work and effort, and the name is not good, it is not as good as it is now, clean and clean, why not."

Hearing Yizhu's words, Qin Yisi came too. Although the dynasty did not despise merchants, but after all, the reputation of the people is not very good. If he has a family and a business, he will just go out of the house.But now it is still attached to the mansion, and it is already arousing people's eyes to set up some middle and lower fields. If you want to set up a few more shops, you don't want to rush people to talk, so you put down this idea for a while.He took a collection of the Four Books and read a few pages intently. A girl from outside the house brought in a prayer box. Peiyu took the box and said with a smile: "But I don't want people to be idle, so who sent the post?"

Qin Yi took a look at the mud gold post, but laughed, and said: "This person used to be a frequent visitor, and he has only been out of Beijing for two years, and he has become polite." Peiyu glanced at it and smiled too , the dialect said: "It turned out to be the third master of Tian. The young master probably didn't know it. In the past two years, the Tian family had a lot of troubles. If it weren't for the face of the concubine in the palace, and a few family friends who interceded, the palace would have sent an order to investigate and deal with it." Even so, impeachment by the imperial censor is unavoidable, and now Beijing is a decent family, and they seldom interact with their family."

Qin Yi was taken aback, but he didn't know that this happened. He sighed secretly, and asked with a smile: "No matter how you are a scholarly family, you can't cause any serious trouble. Why is it so bad?" Lan Yue poured a cup of tea , handed it to Qin Yi, and said with a sneer: "The young master has always been kind-hearted, but he doesn't know what's going on inside. For a while, it was why gold and stone playthings hurt people's lives, and for a while, he was exploiting the people, lending money for interest, and bullying others. There are too many things about following the rules, and I have searched all over the house, but there are not many good results, but no one hates it, only his family is proud of it, but they are the new rich."

Hearing Qin Yi almost spit out tea, he only coughed a few times, and said with a smile: "Although it's not a matter of chasing rumors, rumors and rumors have always been soliciting facts and exaggerating arbitrarily. No matter how the Tian Mansion declines, the family tradition will still be there Just put it aside, I think it's just a few incompetent children, causing some troubles. If this is the case, if you give face to the concubine today, you won't be able to let others play wild at your feet."

Peiyu also laughed and said, "Although this is what he said, he doesn't have a good reputation after all. The young master is also a person who is close to Chunwei. If you want to talk about some articles with Tian Sanye, it's better to have less involvement with the mansion, so as not to spread anything. The wind is gone." After Qin Yi heard this, he said with a smile: "Just don't worry, you don't dare to forget to practice virtue and morality, just go out to catch up on the old days." Saying that, he put down the teacup and wanted to change his clothes and go out.

But I saw the two women at my wife's place, holding a large gold-plated and carved lacquer box, walked to the corridor, saw Lanyue go out, and said with a smile: "It's the fresh fruit and the almond cheese bestowed by you outside. My wife thinks that my brother has always worked hard, so send it to my brother to relieve the heat." The man who took the moon took the holding box and said with a smile: "Two mothers, please go for a while, and sit down and have a cup of tea before going over. Forget it." The two women just smiled and said: "If the girl doesn't talk about it in normal times, she would ask for a cup of tea. But today, all the good-looking nuns have come into the mansion, but they don't have a leisure time. Come back later to collect it." Peiyu hurried out of the house, rewarded two more women, and ordered them to be sent out of the yard.

Waiting to put the holding box on the table, Peiyu opened the cover, but there were several sapphire blue glazed lotus leaf plates containing cold melon and muskmelon and other seasonal fruits, and a white jade gilt holding pot, which was full of Fill a jug with almond cheese.Qin Yi glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Just put it on ice in a silver jar. I'm going out now. How can I use it?" Pei Yufang agreed, and said with a smile: "This almond cheese should be filled with jasmine flowers, and it's also good The astringency is gone." Qin Yi listened, and smiled again: "Speaking of jasmine, I think the scented tea I drank earlier is here. If you are free, please ask sister Xue for a few taels for me." Peiyu hurriedly agreed Then, Qin Yi went out all the way.

Tian Shaohe was not valued at all, although he had gained fame and studied abroad for a few years, he was about to make a fortune now.But in the Tian Mansion, they still have no status, even if they host a banquet, they are not in the mansion, but in a study in the south of the city.It is said to be the name of the study, and it is full of fragrance of fat and powder. Although it is not like Zhangtai Xingyuan, there are many red sleeves adding fragrance and pouring wine.Only Tian Shaohe has an old-fashioned temperament, and Qin Yi is used to vulgarity, so he just found a secluded small courtyard by the water, and leaned on the railing to talk in detail.

Qin Yi poured himself a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "The scenery of Jinzhou is different from that of Beijing, no wonder my younger brother lingers on." Tian Shaohe didn't smile, and only frowned: "If Jinzhou is here Even the dynasty can be regarded as a prosperous and prosperous place. At present, there are many talented scholars and scholars who have learned poetry and books, but they are all ordinary people who do not eat five grains."

After Qin Yi heard this, he smiled helplessly: "In the ten years of the cold window, there are a few who make decisions for the people. Not all of them are rushing to glorify their ancestors, but they are only born with rich clothes and fine food. Only then do they think about the people's livelihood. It is also stained with the blood of the ancestors." Tian Shaohe also laughed at this time, and only sighed: "Brother Shi is only joking, how many people from the family can think like this, but there are quite a few of them like my family. .Speaking of which, it’s just plain boring.”

Qin Yi was just joking, just looking at Tian Shaohe's disposition, seeing that Tian Shaohe was a venerable, he smiled and asked: "The prosperous place in the previous dynasty also occupied the world's wind, otherwise it wouldn't be the same. You will get a brocade full of flowers. Why don’t you fall in love with Shidi, it’s possible that only Kyoto can be regarded as the hometown of intoxication.”

Tian Shaohe drank a glass of wine, Fang frowned slightly, and said in an old-fashioned way: "Brother Shi has been in Beijing for a long time, but he doesn't know the customs of Jinzhou. If it was in the previous dynasty, it was along the North-South Canal, and the water transportation was convenient. Naturally, merchants gathered. Jinfen Tower , Painting boats in Lingbo, a place where literati gather. However, since the founding of the dynasty, the water level has been difficult to adjust, the gates have been difficult to build, and the rivers have changed channels. Although the water transport has not been abandoned, it is difficult to use it. The formerly beautiful and golden powder land, Now it’s just an ordinary market place.”
