Drunk Qingqiu

When going back that day, Yinzhen took the strange stone in the box to Li Ding, who was awkward, and asked him to play by himself.I took your little excitement and closed the door to clear the bribes you just received. There are ten silver notes of 500 taels in total.

The slanted Danfeng eyes on Yinzhen's face were squinted comfortably, and she calculated in her heart that this money was not a small sum.A local official sent so much silver to the imperial envoy's cronies, which can only show that there is indeed a problem with Wen Bao and Gan Du.Yinzhen thought for a while, and put the banknotes into his small treasury.

At this time, Chu Yun came in and said that Chen Tingjing's boy came to treat him to dinner, but this time only Chen Tingjing and Yinzhen were eating in the yard together.Yinzhen stepped into the hall, and Chen Tingjing got up from the kang to salute.He is an important minister in the court, very prestigious, and he is over sixty years old, Yinzhen would not accept his gift, so he hurried over to help him.

During the banquet, Chen Tingjing said that although he had sacrificed to the God of the Yellow River, it would take two days before he could leave for the south because of the burden of inspecting officials.After hearing this, Yinzhen only said that it didn't matter.

"Wen Bao's brochures say that the weather in Shanxi has been good, the people live in peace, and he loves the people. He thinks it won't take long to come here for inspection." Chen Tingjing saw that although Yinzhen was young, he treated him very politely. , and there was no impatience in his actions, and he was secretly satisfied.It seems that there are rumors in Beijing that Brother Nine has mediocre qualifications, and it is not necessarily true that he is cruel.

I also remembered that Faka, who drank together last time, said that he was going to ask someone in the palace to ask the queen mother, and wanted to marry his daughter to the eighth prince.His wife was also nagging about his granddaughter Chen Jingyuan's marriage. From the looks of it now, besides the hot eighth elder brother Yinhu, ninth elder brother is also good.Although her granddaughter is older than Yinzhen, her poems and paintings are all outstanding, and she is a well-known talented woman in the capital.

Thinking of this, Chen Tingjing looked at Yinzhen with a little eagerness in his eyes. Yinzhen felt a little nervous when he looked at him. He didn't know what this old man who always had a straight face meant.

At this time, Yinzhen thought of another thing, pondered for a while, and said: "Master Chen, there will definitely be no problems on the surface of the evaluation, but if you really find a problem, please don't make a public statement."

Chen Tingjing was taken aback for a moment, then understood what Yinzhen meant, and smiled at you, why did Yinzhen tell him these things. "Don't worry, young master. I know this. Even if someone does something wrong, not only can I not get angry at them, but I have to coax them and praise them. The emperor is not in Beijing, and you are by my side. Don't dare take risks."

The next day, Yinzhen asked Chuyun to find him a pair of muslin clothes, saying that the plainer the better.Just after finding a set of green cloth robes, Su Yang came over.

I haven't seen him for a few days, he lost a lot of weight, and saw that Yinzhen just changed his clothes.Then he asked, "Young master is going out?"

Yinzhen saw that his complexion was fair, his black eyes were warm and indifferent, and his expression was good, so he felt relieved, and said: "I can't leave today, anyway, I'm fine, let's go out for a walk."

After hearing this, Su Yang said that his injury was no longer serious and wanted to go out with Yinzhen.Yinzhen thought about it, he must be bored if he stayed in the car or in the house all the time, so he agreed.

He Yuzhu, Su Yang, and Li Ding, who secretly made up his mind to monitor Yinzhen and report to his master at any time, followed Yinzhen to go shopping. Brothers Gao Wen and Gao Wu followed Yinzhen's order to protect Yinzhen's safety, and also followed Yinzhen. in the back.

Yinzhen led everyone around several intersections at a quick pace, then turned to Gao Wen and asked, "Did you get rid of them?"

Gao Wen smiled when he heard the words: "Young master, are you talking about Lord Wen's group or the guards sent by Lord Chen to protect? But no matter which side it is, just rest assured, they didn't follow."

Yinzhen couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and led everyone around in peace.Taiyuan is not as prosperous as the capital city, but there are also people coming and going, and the roadsides are full of various goods stalls.Li Ding couldn't walk when he saw the snacks, and Yinzhen got impatient, so he asked He Yuzhu to buy them for him one by one.

After a while, a few people wandered into a shop, Yinzhen was looking at the pens, inks, papers and inkstones here, when He Yuzhu over there suddenly said, "You brat, what do you want women to bring?"

Yinzhen looked back strangely, but it was Li Ding who was holding a flat square made of silver thread, with a simple and generous appearance.Li Ding yelled: "I want this, I have five taels myself, Brother He, you can add another five taels."

Yinzhen glanced at the stall, and saw that they were all things thrown upside down from a remote place, and there were even two curved knives inlaid with fine gemstones, which looked exquisite.Thinking of Xiao Shisan and Shi Fourteen in the palace, it would be good to take this knife back as a gift for them.

So Yinzhen also came over and asked the guy the price of the two knives and the flat square.The man saw that Yinzhen was dressed very plainly, but his gestures were a little extravagant, so he said courteously, "A knife is 20 taels of silver, and a flat square is ten taels of silver."

Yinzhen reached out to take the scimitar, and the person next to him seemed to want to take the machete too, but he grabbed it first.When Yinzhen turned his head to look, the man had already been dragged by his companion to look at the things beside him.

Yinzhen didn't pay attention, took out the knife and looked at it, looked at the guy and said, "Twelve taels for the knife, and two taels of silver for the flat square."

He Yuzhu, Gao Wen and Gao Wu were taken aback, but Su Yang laughed. This dignified elder brother was actually bargaining.

The guy made a bitter face when he heard this, and said to Yinzhen: "My lord, how can there be such a big profit in our small shop, you can't be the master if you lower the price so small."

The shopkeeper looked at the guy and walked over.Yinzhen is used to haggling when buying things in modern times, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, but Su Yang has worked as a shopkeeper in a pawnshop for several years, and he has long seen that the price Yinzhen paid is not too outrageous.

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, although the price is higher, but the government has levied too many taxes (taxes) in the past few years, we can't do anything about it." Yinzhen frowned, and asked carefully. What taxes and how much did they have to pay before they gave 30 taels of silver to buy three things.

Li Ding looked at Yinzhen adoringly, giggled, and carefully put away the square that Yinzhen handed to him, it was an ornament chosen for his mother.

The person over there who was about to take the scimitar that Yinzhen was looking at just now saw them go away and turned around.A young man in Tsing Yi said: "I didn't expect to look at him here, just to avenge our brothers who died in vain."

Another man in yellow said: "Brother Feng, he has such a high status, why don't we just take him back, wouldn't it be a pity not to be easy to use?"

It is Feng Yikai, the master of Qingmu Hall of Tiandihui, and Pu Song who has strange thoughts about Yinzhen.On the same day, Yinhu led people to level the branch hall. Feng Yikai was a master of martial arts, but Pu Song had a special status and escaped under the protection of his master and Feng Yikai.He was rushing to the main altar, but he didn't want to meet Yinzhen here.

Although Feng Yikai has a calm personality, seeing Yinzhen this time and thinking of his brother who died tragically, he couldn't help but get angry.But Pu Song had other thoughts. Ever since Qing Mu Tang left, he always thought of the bound boy raising his chin, looking at him coldly with provocation and contempt.

Obviously at that time, I was trying to curry favor with him.

If there is a chance to capture this young man and hide him, it would not be a bad idea.

The two looked at each other, and then followed Yinzhen and his party far away.

A few people were walking, and a few horses ran over there, and they didn't care about the pedestrians on the street, and people ran around to hide.Feng Yikai instructed Pu Song in a low voice, and took advantage of the chaos to arrest Yinzhen.

An old woman's basket was squeezed to the ground by the crowd, she chased to pick it, but her legs and feet were a little weak.A boy and a half rushed out and pushed the old man to the side of the road, but he had no time to dodge.

Feng Yikai had already arrived behind Yinzhen, he hesitated slightly when he saw the young man on the road.

Yinzhen's temperament is a bit cold, but he can't do nothing, and it was the same in his last life.Before regaining consciousness, Yinzhen had already rushed out to save people, Gao Wen and Gao Wu hurriedly jumped out to protect them to the side of the road.

The person on the horse was dressed in brocade clothes, and immediately turned his head to look at Gao Wen Gao Wu in front of him, curled his lips slightly, and walked away.

The old man came over and hugged the young man beside Yinzhen, weeping silently.

"Grandma, Qing'er is fine." Seeing the old man sad, the boy's eyes turned red with anxiety.

Yinzhen took a glance, saw that the person was fine, turned around and left.

"My little brother, go slowly!" Seeing that Yinzhen was about to leave, the old man hurriedly called for people, and brought his grandson to the front of them, "My little brother and the elders are also my family's Qinger's lifesavers after all. I dare not say thank you."

The old man said, looked up at Yinzhen's clothed clothes, and said: "Our house is right in front, if you don't mind, please go over and have a meal, as a repayment for the little brother's kindness in saving the dog's life." The old man Women speak and behave very well.

Yinzhen looked at the large group of people following him, and was hesitating how to refuse, the old woman insisted on staying with her.

Yinzhen looked at the old man and thought of the old lady in the duke's mansion, although she was a bit authoritarian, she was always good to him.It's not easy to refuse, but you agree with yourself.

The old man led them around a corner, and arrived at a small courtyard with four large rooms, with side rooms on each side filled with sundries.

A young daughter-in-law inside heard the old man's voice and rushed out to pick it up. Seeing a group of people froze for a while, she hid back again. The old woman went into the house and told her daughter to cook more.

There was no place to sit in the room, so a few people sat at a table outside, with benches around them.Li Ding was pulling Qing'er to talk while Qing'er was young and already literate, which made Li Ding feel very guilty.

After a while, a young man in a coarse cloth robe came in, with plain features and a bookish look on his body.It was the old woman's son-in-law who worked as a teacher in the private school of a rich family.

I heard that these people were my son's saviors, so I came over again to thank them solemnly.After a while, the man brought up a plate of pancakes, a plate of pickled vegetables, a plate of green vegetables, and several bowls of noodles in clear soup.Na Qing'er swallowed her saliva looking at the noodle soup, and said: "You are my benefactors, this noodle is specially made by mother for you."

Gao Wen Gao Wu looked at it and frowned.Give Yinzhen this kind of food, how can he eat it?

Yinzhen looked at it, sighed inwardly, picked out the cleanest bowl and put it in front of her, picked it up with chopsticks and ate two mouthfuls, the noodles had a bitter taste.In fact, this noodle is buckwheat mixed with soybean noodle, which was only eaten when the family improved their meals.

Seeing Yinzhen eating a bowl of noodles without saying a word, Su Yang smiled slightly. Even though he himself was suffering, he rarely ate this kind of food.When He Yuzhu, Gao Wen and Gao Wu saw each other, they couldn't say anything else, and they all took bowls and came over to eat.

Yinzhen looked at the young gentleman who was eating pancakes on the opposite side, and asked, "Do you have land at home, sir?"

That gentleman is naturally more knowledgeable than his mother-in-law. Seeing that Yinzhen has a delicate face and a handsome figure. Although he is clothed in commoner clothes, it looks like someone else is wearing a light fur belt. Guess he must be an extraordinary person.He also spoke very politely, "Although there are two acres of Susukida at home, the harvest has not been good. I also work as a teacher, so I can barely make ends meet."

He sighed again and said: "Brother, don't joke, our family is already pretty good, the people in the outer city only live on the fields, the harvest is not good, and the poll tax is a lot of money. Can't bear to see."

"The harvest is not good. It is said that the imperial court should pay attention to the situation of the people and reduce or exempt it as appropriate."

"Exemption? There have been more and more in the past two years. Hey, there are some things that we can't and dare not say. However, there are people outside the city who dare to say it, but the time has not yet come." That's all. With a sarcasm on it.

Yinzhen was taken aback when he heard what he said, who dares to say it?Ask again but can't find anything, before leaving, Yinzhen said to the gentleman: "Sir, if possible, I will also find a way to help solve this problem, I just hope it won't take too long."

After hearing this, the gentleman smiled wryly, but did not speak.

Seeing Yinzhen's gesture, He Yuzhu secretly stuffed Qing'er a small bag, which contained 20 taels of silver.

"Master Feng, why didn't you arrest him at that time?" Pu Song looked at the group of people walking away, and said angrily.

"...Catch it next time if you have a chance." Feng Yikai was in a trance, why didn't he rush out to save people at that time?Could it be that he was blinded by hatred, but the head of the Tiandi Hall, who has always claimed to save the people from the fire and water, is not as good as an elder brother of the Qing Dynasty, what is the reason for this? !

At that moment of hesitation, the corner of Yinzhen's clothes that had been held in his hand had already been taken off his hand.Well, I'll forgive you this time.
