Drunk Qingqiu

In the next few days, You Yifan went out to raise money from various banks in the capital.This is not a difficult task, but a while ago, many caravans entered and left Beijing, and most of them were inconvenient to carry a large amount of cash with them.The business of the bank is extremely prosperous, and the interest rate has also increased a lot.You Yifan's personality has become more and more like that of He Yuzhu recently, shrewd enough to be a bit stingy, and he was not sure which bank to choose for a while.

Yinzhen's nerves have been tense since he arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and the condemnation he received in his heart was subtly magnified because of the hundred and eighty people who died in the grassland.After seeing Yinhu and Yinji, he locked himself in the study, neither going to the House of Internal Affairs nor seeing anyone.Although it is not enough to drop the rice, it is used very little.

Jiahui persuaded and persuaded outside, but the food brought in still didn't change much.Until Jiahui couldn't bear to look at her anymore, she pushed the door and broke in with Hongjia in her arms.

Yinzhen raised his head and was about to have a fit, when he saw that it was Jiahui, he turned his head.

Jiahui wept and said: "Master, I know you feel uncomfortable. I'm not hard-hearted. How could it be easy for the people in my family to leave like this?"

Speaking of this, Jiahui wiped away her tears, raised her head and said, "But, it's not such an uncomfortable method. Even if you don't care about yourself, you should know that you are not alone. You have Huang Ama, Er Niang, brothers and sisters." , and me and Hongjia. Could it be that the master is going to ignore his wife and children for those people? If the master is like this, I don’t know if anyone will worry and feel distressed?” After speaking, his voice was choked with sobs.

Ever since their wedding, Jiahui has hardly had a quarrel with Yinzhen.These few questions left Yinzhen in a daze.Not long ago, someone also questioned him in the same way: "You have to remember! You are not alone, you have Ama Erniang, you have brothers and sisters, daughter-in-law and son..."

"You still have me……"

Thinking this way, looking at it, Yinzhen suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

Hongjia usually likes to play with Yinzhen the most, but this time he is actually acting cute.When Jiahui put him in front of Yinzhen, the little guy gently stretched out his hand and hugged Yinzhen's leg.Looking at Ama with flickering big eyes, like a pitiful little animal, he said softly: "Ama, don't want it, Hongjia, you will be good."

Yinzhen's heart was sore and soft, and she leaned over and hugged Hongjia into her arms: "Hongjia, why would Ama not want you?"

He said to Jiahui again: "It's not mine, I made you worry."

With tears on Jiahui's face, seeing Yinzhen hugging Hongjia and going out with her, her heart immediately felt full.

Yinzhen finally adjusted her emotions. Today, while looking at the list of all servants who went to the grassland presented by You Yifan, she planned to appease her.

At this time, Liang Jiugong, the great eunuch who was supposed to be in Rehe, appeared in front of Yinzhen with the imperial edict of Kangxi.Yinzhen was puzzled and knelt down to accept the order.

It turned out that Kangxi knew about Yinzhen's business somehow, and made a decree to allocate 20 taels of silver from the internal treasury to Yinzhen.While Yinzhen was moved in his heart, he was once again shocked by how well informed Kangxi's news was.

Since it is profitable, the difference between 30 taels and 10 taels is not a small amount.Originally, when You Yifan saw that Long Live God allocated 20 taels, he sighed that it was a father-son relationship, and planned to raise another 10 taels by himself.

As a result, Yinzhen ordered that all the family members of the deceased who went to Kulun last time, each family receive 1000 taels of silver.Ten taels of silver is almost enough for these families to spend for a year. In the eyes of these families, this is undoubtedly a huge sum of money, and they all came to thank them with tears.

You Yifan watched his master spend 10 taels of silver in the blink of an eye, and sighed in his heart, but also had a hint of admiration.

This day Yinzhen had just finished dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and returned to the mansion, Wang Shun came up to report that the Qin family had handed over the post.

Yinzhen was puzzled for a moment, and only after receiving the post did he realize that it was the Qin family who had formed a partnership because of the Eros trade, and that the signature below was Qin Lan, but he had never heard of this person.

Yinzhen turned around and walked towards the flower hall, asking this Qin Lan to come over.Although the Qin family has some background in the capital city, compared with Yinzhen, the elder brother, they are one in the sky and the other in the underground, so they don't dare to disturb them on weekdays.If there is anything, they will talk to Su Yang or You Yifan, maybe they are not here now, and this person is looking for Yinzhen.

Just as He Yuzhu brought the tea, a girl had already lifted the curtain over there, and a young man walked into the room with a servant.She is not tall, but her facial features are extremely beautiful, but there is a little more powdery look between her eyebrows and eyes.Yinzhen's movement of serving the tea remained unchanged, and his eyes had already been raised several times.

Seeing Yinzhen's contemptuous attitude, the young man's face flashed with anger, thinking that he had never been treated like this before.After all, thinking of the different identities, the young man awkwardly stepped forward and said, "Qin Lan met Brother Jiu."

"Sit down, you, are you Qin Yuan's son?" After Yinzhen asked this sentence, she turned her head and called He Yuzhu who was about to go out, and asked him to tidy up Duobaoge beside the flower hall.He Yuzhu was stunned, this Duobaoge was wiped very clean by a girl every day, if it was about placing the objects, he didn't need to worry about it.Immediately, she realized that it was Yinzhen who didn't want him to go out, so she complied and stood beside Duobaoge to put on a show.

Qin Lan's face turned green and pale, and finally sat down and said: "Qin Yuan is my father, and I am the second son, Qin Lan. In the past, my father or elder brother came to this house. I think Master Jiu is relatively unfamiliar to me."

Yinzhen nodded casually, not because he was unfamiliar with him, but because he was relatively unfamiliar with all the Qin family members.

"Then why did you come to see me?"

Speaking of this, Qin Lan said with a bit of pride on her face, "I heard that Master Jiu urgently needs 30 taels of silver. Since we are in partnership with Master Jiu, we should help. Let me tell you this, our Qin family can first I will send you 30 taels of silver, and there will be no interest."

Yinzhen's left hand holding the tea bowl paused, raised his head, and said, "Oh? This is what your master asked you to say?"

Qin Lan only felt that the handsome and over-the-top Jiu Ye had clear eyes, but as if he could see all his thoughts, his heart jumped, but he still said: "Exactly."

Yinzhen sized him up a few more times before asking: "Then what conditions do you have?"

Qin Lan smiled slightly, fixed her eyes on Yinzhen, and said: "We are just ordinary people, how dare we ask Master Jiu to ask for conditions. However, there is something to discuss with Master Jiu here. If you agree, it will be a big deal happy event."

"tell me the story."

Yinzhen's tone was quite peaceful, He Yuzhu took a peek, and sure enough, his master's brows were slightly frowned.He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Qin Lan had already annoyed Lord Jiu, and he was afraid that this would be impossible.

"Jiuye, my younger sister, Qin Ling, has always admired Jiuye, but hated not being able to meet each other. I didn't expect that our Qin family had a relationship with Jiuye, and we got Jiuye to take care of us and start a business partnership. When my sister found out, she begged her father She came to propose marriage. Knowing her low status, she swore in front of her father that she would be willing to be a concubine by Master Jiu's side, otherwise she would wring her hair and become a sister-in-law. My father had no choice but to let me come down to beg Master Jiu. Forget about Master Jiu. And even though Shemei is not the most beautiful girl in the city, there are few people in the four or nine cities who can match her. If Master Jiu agrees, this dowry—"

"The purpose of your coming here is to tell me this, and also come to propose marriage?" Yinzhen didn't like this Qin Lan in the first place, but after hearing what he said, Yinzhen became even more angry.

"If that's the case, go back. I'm very busy, and I still have a lot of things to deal with." Yinzhen had already stood up and made a gesture of serving tea to see off the guests, "By the way, Master Jiu, I'm not so short of money that I have to stare at myself On the dowry of the concubine's room. Tell your father clearly that if he doesn't want to be a partner, he can withdraw the previous money at any time." Said these words coldly, there is no room for change.

Qin Lan stood up in shock, seemed to want to say something, but didn't know how to say it, and stammered, "But, but—" He couldn't help but secretly regretted that he was not as deep-minded as these profiteers, so he tried to find a way to remedy it.

Seeing that Yinzhen had already turned around to say goodbye to He Yuzhu, she hurriedly called out: "Master Jiu, just listen to the next thing."

Yinzhen turned around and stared at him coldly.

Qin Lan no longer had that kind of color at this time, and stood there blushing, as if she was in a hurry.After a while, seeing that Yinzhen's eyebrows were filled with impatience, she took a deep breath, and suddenly reached out and pulled off her hat.

The boy behind blurted out in shock: "Girl!"

He Yuzhu's hand that touched the same jade carving for the tenth time shook, and the emerald jade unicorn had fallen to the ground.

Qin Lan took off her hat, and her black hair fell down.Falling next to the already beautiful face, it adds a bit of brilliance.

Yinzhen looked at Qin Lan without changing his face, and said lightly: "Miss Qin, is there something else? Please come back if you have nothing to do."

Qin Lan blushed so much that she was on the verge of burning. After hearing Yinzhen's words, she widened her eyes in disbelief, looked at him, and asked, "Master Jiu, don't I even have the qualifications to be your concubine?" ?”

"I think I've made it very clear. Also, Miss Qin, if you come in to see me so recklessly, if you say it out, I'm afraid it will damage your boudoir's reputation. Please go back." Seeing it, I couldn't bear to refuse.Helpless, she has seen too much beauty Yinzhen, and she really can't soften her heart.

In fact, since Qin Lan just entered the house, Yinzhen has already seen that she is a woman from her high collar and lowered hat brim, and even the servant next to her is also a girl in disguise.This miss of the Qin family really thinks that wearing a hat and changing clothes is a woman disguised as a man?Her skills are far inferior to Guan Lin's.That's why he left He Yuzhu behind.

Qin Lan was spoiled by her parents since she was a child, and she is extremely confident in her appearance.Although they are families of merchants, there are quite a few wealthy families who came to propose marriage.Where did I experience this before? With resentment in my eyes, I said loudly: "Jiuye, if, if you don't agree, I will tell people that you treat me lightly. Please understand Qin Lan's admiration, I just want to be with Jiuye It’s fine to be around, I don’t care about fame at all.”

Yinzhen, who was already walking at the door, turned around and suddenly laughed, "Miss Qin, just say what you want to tell others, I think my reputation as the ninth master is not bad, so you might as well do it for yourself. Think it over."

After Yinzhen finished speaking, she turned around and left.He was very upset that the Qin family had such an idea, maybe they should raise more money, or simply find someone to replace the Qin family.

West of the city, Qin Mansion, the main house.

"Nonsense!" Qin Yuan, the patriarch of the Qin family, with a livid face, pointed at Qin Lan who was changing into women's clothes, "You don't know the identity of that master?! Are you trying to coerce him, or are you trying to ruin our Qin family! What do I do? I will teach a daughter like you!" Saying this, the finger pointing at Qin Lan was trembling with anger.

The young man on the side persuaded: "Father, calm down, Qin Lan is really ignorant, you should take care of your health. Now we can only find a way to see Lord Jiu to clear up the misunderstanding. I'm afraid we won't see Master Jiu at all." Speaking of Here, too, is full of worry.

Qin Lan had tears in her eyes, still somewhat dissatisfied.Qin Yuan looked at him, stomped his feet, and walked out.

The young man looked outside, turned around and frowned and asked, "little sister, it's your fault. Your parents have always spoiled you, taught you how to read and write, and don't shy away from major business matters. You know it well, we Qin No matter what, I want to help Lord Jiu. You shouldn’t be messing around like this. If Brother Jiu is really annoyed, do you think he’s going to spend anything to suppress us! There’s no need for him to say anything, there are a group of people who want to Please him, but can't find a way."

Qin Lan's eyes turned red, and she bit her lip and said, "Of course I know this, but I'm not reconciled, I just want to try, in case he agrees."

The young man said angrily: "It's unreasonable, if he really took a fancy to your beauty, or our Qin family's financial resources, would he be able to treat you sincerely?!"

Tears finally fell on Qin Lan's face: "I don't care what Jiuye treats me at all, but I know that only when Jiuye is by his side can that person look me in the eye." I started to cry.

The young man was stunned and sighed, "Why are you doing this?"

.. ......

Qin Yuan came to Yinzhen tremblingly to make amends, saying that it was the woman who made her own decisions, and he didn't know about it, so he would definitely discipline her when she went back.Immediately afterwards, he said: "Master Jiu, I have already prepared the money, and I am waiting to send it to you in a day or two. I have already been taken care of by you in everything, and besides, there is a mistake in the business with Eluosi. It should help you figure it out."

Looking at the face of the person in front of him who kept wiping sweat, Yinzhen nodded, not being polite to him.Ask You Yifan to collect 30 taels.Said: "Boss Qin, you helped me out of my urgent need. I shouldn't be stingy, the 30 taels is also considered as your share capital, and the dividend will be counted to you when the time comes."

Qin Yuan wiped his sweat and didn't even say no.

When the people left, You Yifan said happily: "Master Jiu, this Qin family is very obedient. They sent a large sum of money and didn't charge any interest."

Yinzhen smiled, but didn't speak.

Next, You Yifan re-purchased the goods and personally escorted them to Kulun.Yinzhen also sent more people to escort him, and he brought along a doctor with good medical skills.

On this day, when Yinyu came out from the House of Internal Affairs, Yinyu came to look for him and said that he would go to Yinhu's mansion to meet up.

After Yinhu returned to Beijing, his relationship with Yinhu eased a lot, so he agreed.

When the two arrived at Ba Age's mansion, a person came out of Yinhu's mansion in a hurry.Unlike the previous officials in Yinhu's mansion, this man was dressed in ordinary clothes, with his head bowed, and it seemed that he was not far away from people to see his face.

Yinzhen looked at his background, but his background was familiar, and he didn't know where he had seen it.

Seeing Yinzhen standing at the gate looking at him, Yinyu pulled him back and walked in, saying, "That's Nian Gengyao, whose name is Lianggong, and he is the disciple of the fourth brother. I think it was the ninth brother who went with the fourth brother for a while. It's too close, so I'm familiar with it." At the end of the sentence, he was already a bit angry and complaining.

Yinzhen helplessly looked at Yinyu who was dissatisfied, and pulled him to rush in, and said, "Old Ten, why are you crazy! Tell me yourself, don't I treat you and starlings better than others?"

Yin's face softened slightly, she slowed down, scratched her hair and said, "Ninth Brother, don't blame me. The main reason is that you and Mynah are my closest brothers. What should I do if something happens in the future."

Yinzhen scolded directly: "Whatever you say, what can happen."

Yin Qu didn't make a sound.

Yinhu had already set up a banquet in the hall, and greeted the two of them with a smile.A girl came in and twisted the handkerchief to make the three of them clean their hands.

Yinzhen finally couldn't hold back, and asked: "Brother, Gengyao was the disciple of the fourth brother that year, how could he be in your house?"

Yinhu glanced at him with a smile, and said: "What you said is that he insisted on coming. I was afraid that Brother Si would misunderstand me, so I didn't want to see him."

"Because after you left Beijing, I helped Nian Gengyao once. To me, it was nothing more than a trivial matter, but he took it very seriously. I begged a few times, and I met once."

Yinhu suddenly realized, and sighed for a while, Yinhu will always have this ability, not only those who have worked with him are full of praise, but other officials, when they mention the eighth elder brother Yinhu, they mostly give thumbs up.

"Ninth brother, your troubles are over. A few days ago, I saw you always looked worried. Today, the three of us have a good gathering." Yinhu said.

Yinhu raised his eyes to look at Yinhu, bent his mouth, and said: "Okay." Then he added: "Thank you myna."

Yinhu looked at him with a smile, soft and tender.
