A world of glory

Seeing that the letter was burned, Fuyun panicked and couldn't even speak clearly for a while, so he was shocked: "My lord, you...why...?"

Qi Xuan watched the letter paper burn to ashes, and the candle shadow swayed, reflecting his face more and more like jade. Hearing Fuyun's astonishment, Qi Xuan only smiled coldly, and said: "What's the matter, I have already avoided this barren mountain Yeling, you still have to listen to people's orders."

Fuyun was taken aback, and said in a nasty voice: "But... this is a letter from the second master, and it has nothing to do with those things, why, my lord..."

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Qi Xuan, who said with a little disgust: "What about the second master and the third master, if you think it's irrelevant, you'll be right after you go back, my small temple can't accommodate such a big Bodhisattva."

Having said that, Qi Xuan saw that Fuyun's eyes had turned red, and then realized that he had vented his anger on Fuyun, rubbed his temples again, and said with a tired face: "You still think that the two Uncle is a good person, if I don't cut off contact with them, I am afraid that I will be the one who will take the blame and go to jail tomorrow."

After hearing this, Fuyun just lowered his head slightly, with an expression of disbelief on his face.Seeing this, Qi Xuan sighed again, and only said: "Everyone in the family is blinded by wealth and honor, one tael of silver goes down, and a hundred taels of silver comes back, and a hundred taels of silver goes out, and the return is more than ten thousand taels of silver. Splashing wealth and wealth, they can't stop. Although I haven't touched the body, I know a lot. When we go back, there are some people who have been friends with each other in the past, and some people have trouble. Although it is suppressed, it will be a disaster. It doesn’t matter whether you are seduced or find someone to die for, you have to find a master. My uncles have good temperament, and you have listened to people’s words. Since I finally came out, why bother to get in again, and I can’t get in muddy water.”

Qin Yi thought it right, he just tidied up the book, folded the copied page into a small strip, and only flicked it on the candle, watching the paper burn to ashes, he just put the book on the shelf to choose Inserted into the position.I don't know if he used too much force, but with a "click", a small brocade box fell from the bookshelf. Qin Yi felt strange, so he just picked it up and opened it, and saw his white jade unicorn fan pendant in the box.

Qin Yi was slightly puzzled, since he changed clothes with Qi Xuan in the water pavilion that day, he was busy and chaotic all the time, and Qin Yi couldn't remember whether Qi Xuan took the pendant or lost it, why? It ran to the bookshelf in a good way.Qin Yi was thinking about it, and Lanyue asked with a smile outside: "Young master, it's the time of You, do you want to settle down?"

Qin Yi only lifted the curtain, and lightly ordered: "Let someone bring water in." Lan Yuefang brought some little girls with him to serve him, and Lan Yue rolled up the sleeves for Qin Yi, and was about to help Qin Yi Taking off his shoes, Qin Yi smiled and asked, "I thought I lost that white jade fan pendant, but why did I find it on the bookshelf today?"

Lanyue heard the words, just smiled, and hurriedly said: "Young master, I'm afraid I forgot, I don't know which day the fan fell into the changed clothes, and the little girl who was cleaning found it later. Put it away. It's just that the pendant is not often carried by the young master, and he never mentioned it on weekdays. Although we brought it all the way, we also forgot about it and never shared it with the young master. The young master asked about it today, but the pendant..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Yi smiled slightly and said lightly: "It's nothing, but I saw it today, so I just asked."

After speaking, he ordered Lanyue to say: "Go out and pass a message, let Li Da and Li Er brothers wait in the study, I have something to order." After hearing this, Lanyue only smiled sweetly, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and went out send word.

In the early morning of the next day, the willows were covered with dew, and the lotus pond was floating in the water. Before the handover of the yamen was completed, Qin Yi also had a few days to spare. He took the Liangshan County Chronicle in his hand, and read it leisurely, feeling bored.I could only hear the little girl outside hurriedly reporting: "My lord, Mr. Zhang is here." Upon hearing this, Qin Yi only smiled and said, "Please come to the flower hall to serve tea."

Zhang Xiancheng came all the way, although he was in the name of official business, but he was really worried.He listened to Xinzhi County's tone, he didn't seem like a fatuous person, but the whole county was not easy to deal with.He has been an official in Liangshan County for a long time, and he is not very proficient in others. He has seen that there are quite a few officials, and he dares to say that he knows people well.

Looking at it in the past few days, I can see that although the new county magistrate is young, he is extremely knowledgeable, and his conversation is beyond ordinary people's. In the past few years, no one can compare with this Xinzhi County.With such a status and such talent, it is really destiny, even if other idlers occupy a favorable location and harmony, they can't turn around this time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiancheng calmed down and sat down for a while, only to realize that the tea in his hand had already been drunk by himself, and only a few tea leaves were left, sinking at the bottom of the cup.Zhang Xiancheng was impolite in secret, looked around, and before he could move, a little maid with double combs and red silk clothes came up to refill tea.I saw this little girl's wrists were as bright as jade, and she was wearing a green jade bracelet. Just by the color of the jade bracelet, one could tell that it was worthless.

Zhang Xiancheng picked up the teacup and glanced at the little girl, but saw that the little girl not only had jade bracelets on her wrists, but also a few flowers on her head, which were also made of pearls. , making this little maid even more delicate and lovely.Not to mention the jewellery, but the clothing material, Zhang Xiancheng knew at a glance that it was also a high-quality official silk, but the color was a bit worn out, and there were some things that didn't fit well, which could be seen as minor repairs.The little maid was still a bit cautious, she lowered her head and stepped back after serving tea, without saying a word.

Zhang Xiancheng took a peek, and saw that although this little maid was a bit dull, in terms of appearance and clothing, she was much more outstanding than the ladies in Liangshan County.I was slightly surprised in my heart, and I couldn't help sighing to myself: "No wonder many rich and scholarly families in the world would rather take maids from big families than daughters from small families. The maids raised by the cost of food and clothing alone are better than Xiaobiyu's ignorant daughters." Not to mention, how much knowledge and relationships cultivated in these aristocratic families can help your husband's family, it can be said that there is a way to reach the sky."

My heart is slightly moved, just these servant girls are like this, not to mention how the master's family is, it's the right time to come here.Zhang Xiancheng was sighing inwardly, but he heard footsteps outside the door. A few beautiful maidservants came into the room with a handsome scribe in their arms. Come in, get up and salute.

Qin Yi returned the gift, only found the leader and sat down, picked up the tea, only opened it, took a look, and asked the maidservants with a smile: "Why is Changming tea served? Why didn't you soak the tribute buds that came?"

The little girl serving tea hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and replied in a soft voice: "The things that Master Biao sent are all stored in the warehouse. Sister Lanyue said that they will not be taken out until the house is moved."

Qin Yi frowned slightly after hearing this, and only said: "Even so, the Dahongpao, Pu'er tea, and Liu'an melon slices that are placed outside can't be brewed, so why did you only choose this Changming tea?"

Zhang Xiancheng understood in his heart, and quickly said with a smile: "This Changming tea is not bad. Although it is not as famous as Gong Ya, it has a unique flavor. If you don't come to pay homage to the county magistrate, like me waiting for the officials, I think it is rare to be so delicious."

Seeing Zhang Xiancheng speaking like this, Qin Yi understood. He was just using the little maid as a raft, so he said to the maid, "Since Mr. Zhang is interceding, that's all, let's go out."

The maid who came in with Qin Yi was a few clever and capable maids, so she hurriedly dragged the little maid out, brought in a few plates of tea and fruits, and then covered the curtain and went out.

Qin Yi saw that the maids had all gone out, so he asked just now: "I wonder what business matters Mr. Zhang is here for?" That county magistrate Zhang is extremely smart, so why doesn't he know the meaning of Qin Yi's words, but he is a tactful person That's right, I refused to get straight to the point, I just smiled and said: "The account book and grain book were delivered the day before yesterday, I don't know if my lord has finished reading them, when do you plan to check the warehouse and county government?"

Qin Yi slightly raised his eyebrows, and said with a sneer: "Why, I have to notify you first when I will investigate the deficit. It seems that the official rules and court regulations are not like this?"

After saying that, Qin Yi smiled and asked again: "Or, only Duliang Mountain has this rule, then I have to write a letter back and ask."

Qin Yi's careless words made Zhang Xiancheng tremble all over, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, please calm down. I'm just afraid that your Excellency will count things rashly, so that others will see the joke."

Qin Yi smiled slightly, only wondering: "I don't know when this warehouse inventory became a joke. I hope Mr. Zhang will explain it carefully, so as to clear up my doubts."

Zhang Xiancheng saw that the words had already reached this level, and if he hesitated and hawed again, he would fall to the lower ranks, so he had to put his mind to one side, bravely picked up the unimportant words, and said them out. "Your Excellency, I don't know. According to the rules of the imperial court, this official warehouse is [-]% empty. It is reasonable. After all, it is a natural disaster. It's just that our Liangshan County has been poor since the founding of the country. , this official storehouse has been burned and robbed many times, so it is inevitable to go short."

Qin Yi sneered, only put down the teacup, and said coldly: "Deficiency is inevitable. I'm afraid that there are not only natural disasters, but also human disasters. Thinking about it, it should be clear about the deeds." Qin Yi looked calm, but the meaning of these words could not be understood.
