Drunk Qingqiu

Qingyu has now taken up a post in the Ministry of War. Although she is not too busy on weekdays, she does not come out to post on the net from time to time like before.Besides, he got engaged again last year, and his father Yuping hoped that he could build up some meritorious service in the army, and then be promoted by the higher-ups. After a year or two, the marriage will be done happily.

Therefore, it was not easy for Yinzhen to make an appointment with Qingyu and Jiayu this time. Because Yinqi was temporarily recruited by Kangxi, he couldn't come here, so he had to wait until the next meeting.

With the expansion of the business scale, many servants have been added to the backyard of Renhe Pawnshop, serving tea and water, cleaning and other tasks have been done by dedicated servants.

At this moment, Ding Lan, who could almost be regarded as the housekeeper here, personally brought a red lacquered tray into the main house.

He poured tea for the three people sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals. Inside the fine porcelain white tea bowls were green and bright Biluochun, silver and white with emerald green, and the aroma was tangy.Ding Lan always knew that Yinzhen was afraid of heat, so he specially put iced plums in a colorful celadon bowl and placed it by his hand.

Yinzhen looked at Su Yang who was standing quietly beside her, and asked him to sit down again. Su Yang slightly thanked him and sat down with the three of them.

Jiayu smiled, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Cousin asked me and brother to come here this time, but has a new plan?"

"My cousin is right. I got Ama's letter this time, so I don't have to hide it anymore, so I want to develop some other businesses. This time I wanted to invite everyone to come over and discuss what to do, but I still don't know what to do. I lost someone." Thinking of Fifth Brother, Yinzhen couldn't help but sigh.

Jiayu put the teacup down with a smile, and comforted Yinzhen, "What's the matter without my cousin? Doesn't he fully support your decision every time? From my point of view, you should notify us directly when you have made a decision. I have always supported you unconditionally, so why bother?"

Qingyu looked him up and down excitedly, "Your cousin is amazing, Huang... Master really promised you?"

Yinzhen shook his head, and said: "Although you all support me, I am not familiar with business after all. It is always good for everyone to help out with ideas. If there are no two managers in the pawnshop, Su Yang, Xu, and You, maybe What is it like?"

Then Yinzhen expressed his plan. He wanted to open a wood shop or a silk and satin shop in the capital, but judging from the funds currently available, he could only choose one first.

"I invited my cousin and cousin here, just to discuss which one is better." Yinzhen rubbed his forehead and looked at the two people opposite.

Qingyu pondered for a while, and said, "Which one is easier to operate...I don't know, but I heard people say that the profits of timber companies in the south are very high."

Jiayu waited for her brother to finish speaking, and said a little excitedly: "If you let me say it, I definitely hope that my cousin chooses the satin factory. If nothing else, I was entrusted by Er Niang to choose satin with the person in charge of purchasing. Yes. I myself am very fond of pretty satins of all colors."

Jiayu's words were exchanged for Qingyu's contempt, "A woman's opinion, I think only you women like these things."

Jiayu smiled slightly, and took out a plain white handkerchief from her bosom, with only bamboo branches showing on one corner, "Really, the handkerchief that Sister Xiangzhi entrusted me to give you, my brother must not be interested in it, my sister has no choice but to I went back and said that my brother is a big man, and he doesn't bother to accept this kind of boudoir stuff."

When Qingyu saw it, she looked at the handkerchief and was speechless.The face is red and white, but there is a hint of sweetness in the heart. Xiangzhi is Jiayu's handkerchief and Qingyu's unmarried wife.Qingyu reached out and snatched the handkerchief from her sister, looked at it carefully, and muttered in a low voice: "It's really much better than the rough stitched things my sister made for me."

Jiayu gritted her teeth secretly, and asked her to help him hide it when she saw her brother going out to drink with those cronies, but she still helped him.

Watching the two quarreling, Yinzhen suddenly thought of something, "I just remembered, my cousin's draft next year is a big deal, and it's not too much to prepare earlier. Well, I've decided to open a silk and satin shop."

The brother and sister were stunned for a moment when they heard what he said. It's not a trivial matter, but Yinzhen actually used this reason to make a decision?

Qingyu's expression turned serious, and she became serious, "Tangtang has to think about it, I know you always have your own ideas, but my brother reminds you not to make a decision so hastily."

Jiayu also persuaded him a few words, but Yinzhen smiled and stopped the two of them, "Do you think I made such a random decision? Cousin and cousin, think about it. Since next year is the year of the general election, people from all over the capital The girls who are to be selected have to buy clothes, and the business of the silk and satin shop will definitely be good when the time comes."

"Besides, I see that the clothes and fabrics we wear in winter and summer are nothing more than fur, silk and satin. Farmers mostly use earthen cloth to make clothes. The cost of silk and satin is higher, which also requires people who come to the silk and satin shop to have certain financial resources. The most important thing in the capital is the upper class dignitaries, so it is much easier to get money from their families."

Although Jiayu persuaded Yinzhen, she still longed for those beautiful silks and satins in her heart. Hearing what Yinzhen said, she already applauded.Qingyu glanced at his younger sister, but said nothing, and he also felt that Yinzhen's words made sense.

Several people discussed the details again, the first is the storefront, and the second is the source of goods.

The choice of store can only be selected by Qingyu and Su Yang first; and the source of goods can only be consulted by a few knowledgeable people.

The three discussed for a while and settled on some important matters.When the discussion was almost over, Jiayu looked at the sky and reminded: "It's getting late, I should go shopping for you, and I don't feel relieved to send a girl. Besides, today, Chu Ying came again, and the family already I'm a little too busy. I should go back earlier to help Erniang with the housework."

Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, "You mean Wenyu's sister, the Chu Ying whom I met before?"

"No, since I joined the big brother, I have become more and more powerful. Every time I come here, I will bring a group of maids and women to the little aunt's yard, and they will come to our yard to say hello to my mother. When she lived in the mansion before, she didn't go there very often. Now she comes here often, she belongs to the elder brother, and Er Niang naturally doesn't want to treat her poorly." Jiayu pouted slightly, and it seemed that she didn't like Chu Ying .

Yinzhen smiled, that Chu Ying is also a very scheming woman, and originally wanted Concubine Yi to take care of her during the draft.As a result, the maid in front of Concubine Yi saw her weeping and dragging her in front of Yinqi, the fifth elder brother, and she turned around and told Concubine Yi.

Concubine Yi is a person who can't rub the sand in her eyes, she can't tolerate others spoiling her son in front of her eyes.On the second day, she was sent to another palace. Unexpectedly, her own ability made the elder brother who came back to the palace occasionally fancy her.

So the elder brother told his mother-in-law, Concubine Hui, that Chu Ying was gentle and quiet, generous and decent, and wanted Concubine Hui to help her come over.Concubine Hui went to see it a few times in person, and she was satisfied, so she told Kangxi, so Chu Ying was pointed to elder brother Yinyi.

But her family background was too low, so she only worked as a concubine in the elder brother's mansion, but I heard that Yinyi doted on her very much.

"Since this is the case, I won't keep my cousins ​​any longer, and I'll return you to the palace soon." Yinzhen didn't like to be keen on these parents' short stories, so she didn't want to keep them now.

"Also, second cousin, this is a new purse I made for you in my free time." Jiayu said while handing over a red embroidered gourd purse, "Brother and eldest cousin have already been embroidered for them, of course I don’t have to worry about it anymore, but my second cousin still wants to give it away.”

Yinzhen took it, but this time it was a pair. Yinzhen looked at it strangely, thanked Jiayu, and put it away.

After the two left, Yinzhen had time to talk to Su Yang, but Su Yang never mentioned anything about being in the Ministry of Punishment.Seeing the thin and quiet boy with low eyebrows standing in front of him, but with an unconcealable look of worry on his face, Yinzhen no longer made things difficult for him.Just say that if you have something to do, don't embarrass yourself too much, and leave Renhe Pawnshop.

In November of the 35th year of Kangxi, Galdan sent an envoy Ge Lei Guying to meet him and expressed his willingness to surrender.All the officials guessed that this was just Galdan's temptation.Kangxi only smiled slightly at the comments of the ministers, and said to the emissary: ​​"I will give him seventy days. If Galdan does not come to the capital in person, I will definitely send troops."

On this day, Yinhu nestled in Yinhu's study, sitting comfortably on a recliner under the window of Yinhu's study, fanning the wind with the "Suzhou Chronicle" in his hand, and chatting with Yinhu who was working.

"Brother, in the end Huang Ama chose Xiao Shisan's proposal at that time."

Yinhu stopped the pen in his hand, looked up at Yinhu and smiled slightly, shook his head again, and sighed, "Xiao Jiu, it's right for you to go into business."

Yinzhen thought of the satisfactory results he had achieved since he was in business, and immediately felt that starlings were really smart, capable, well-behaved, and well-behaved...

Stop it, it has nothing to do with Yushu Linfeng...

A smile spread from the corner of Yinhu's mouth, "Because your thinking is too simple, you are really not suitable for politics."

"..."

Yinhu didn't look at Yinhu's depressed face at all, and continued on his own: "Huang Ama's understanding of Galdan is much deeper than ours. He naturally saw that the envoy was just a test, Huang Ama The [-]-day period for Ma Xuta, first, I accept your surrender in your name, and at the same time tell the world that I gave him a chance; It doesn't matter if you play for a few days. Three, this actually shows Huang Ama's determination to send troops."

"Huang Ama's actions not only show the world's public heart, but also show Galdan's benevolence, and three times show that rebels will never be tolerated."

"That is to say, Huang Ama actually adopted Xiao Shisi's method, but it is not so direct, and it is many times stronger in terms of face."

After listening to Yinhu's words, Yinhu fell silent, and Kangxi was indeed the biggest and darkest boss.

Yinhu came over and took away the book in Yinhu's hand, and asked with a smile: "Speaking of Galdan, the general Fei Yanggu offered a prisoner a while ago, someone redeemed him and sent him to my house. Xiaojiu, are you interested?" See you?"

Yinhu raised his eyebrows noncommittally, Yinhu looked at him condescendingly, a smirk seemed to appear on the corner of his mouth, "Qin Hai, bring Yisang here."

When someone walked in with her head bowed, Yinzhen raised her eyes and saw a woman with her head bowed and dressed in a Mongolian dress, with black braids hanging down from both sides.

"Look up." Yinhu said softly.

The woman raised her head, and there seemed to be hatred in her dark eyes.Seeing the two people by the window, she seemed startled.

Yinzhen glanced at it, then turned his head.Since coming to the Qing Dynasty, Yinzhen has been trying to ignore the rationality of ancient men's three wives and four concubines.In this society where men are respected, he has nothing to do.But he didn't think about it, and the starling is also like this.

Taking the book she found from Yinhu's study room, Yinyu said lightly: "Mynah, it's getting late, I won't disturb you, I'll go back to the palace first." After finishing speaking, he opened the door and left.

Yinhu looked at the woman, then at Yinhu who was walking away, thoughtful.
