Drunk Qingqiu

Yinzhen looked at Bayan, who was half-bent and glanced at Shangzhong from time to time, with a half-smile, and continued, "You mean, the satin you bought is indeed ten taels of silver?"

After Bayan saw Shang Zhong winking at him, he ignored him again, turned his heart and insisted, and said: "Master Jiu, that's the case. Last month, Lafayette was looking for satin of this color because the slave is I bought it specially from the best silk and satin factory, so the price is naturally a bit more expensive. You don’t know the price of firewood and rice if you are not in charge, and your slaves are not afraid of hard work, but now you feel a little chilled.”

Yinzhen raised her eyebrows again and again, no wonder the Accounting Department was greedy and difficult to manage.Look, a small procurement manager dares to use the queen mother to suppress others, who gave it the courage? !

Yinzhen squinted his eyes, looked at him, and asked, "Which silk and satin shop?"

Bayan didn't expect Brother Jiu to ask such detailed questions, so he hurriedly thought about the famous shops he had heard from his wife recently, and decided to pick the one with the highest price of satin and reported it: "If you go back to Master Jiu, all the satin shops you have are slaves. They were all bought from Jinxiang Silk and Satin Village, because the materials there are the best, so the price is higher than other places."

Bayan thought for a while, and suddenly there was a look of indignation on his face, "My servant also buys satin there, and I heard from my wife that the satin at that house is very popular, and I don't even want it when I go there late. Could it be?" Is the servant really expensive? Fortunately, Master Jiu mentioned you, and I will ask them to argue with you now!"

Yinzhen showed a strange look on his face, he was so Bayan, he dared to use the shop I opened as a raft when he lied.It's true that you've exhausted all the good and bad words, so I hope you won't be punished today.

Tapping the table again, Yinzhen raised her head and laughed, "I guess I blamed you."

Shang Zhong and Bayan were relieved to see that the young elder brother in front of him finally looked relaxed.Bayan felt a little complacent, no matter who was in charge, no one could find me out.

Yinzhen looked at the two of them, then turned to Bayan and said, "Even if you do things so hard, I will reward you once. I just heard that your daughter-in-law wanted it but couldn't buy it. I sent someone to talk to the boss of that house." Say hello, take extra care of your family, let your wife buy a thousand horses."

After Yinzhen finished speaking, Bayan's face turned green.I opened my mouth twice, but nothing came out.Sure enough, Yinzhen immediately had someone notify Bayan's wife, saying that Bayan asked her to buy a thousand bolts of satin.

Bayan's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, has been annoyed by Bayan in recent days. In recent years, Bayan has become more and more prosperous, and it is a good thing that the family's life is better.But he shouldn't have bought a new house and married two concubines.Looking at the food and clothing expenses of those two concubines, they were almost more expensive than her main wife, how could she not be angry.

Suddenly receiving news from the master that she could buy a thousand pieces of Jinxiang's satin, my heart blossomed immediately, and the master really cared about her as his first wife.Regardless of the face of the palace guard who passed on the message, Mrs. Zhang took the butler and went to Jinxiang Silk and Satin Village.After a whole afternoon of contented shopping, Fang bought all the fresh designs and good satin.The guard enthusiastically helped her take the satin home before returning to the palace.

"These can be used for many years. Looking at the fine and soft material, Jinxiang's things are good." He praised the satin in his hand without saying a word, but seeing the sad face of the housekeeper, he wanted to go back to the house to let that The two concubines were jealous, Zhang frowned: "What's the matter?"

"Grandma, this satin is beautiful, but it's too expensive." The housekeeper was about to cry, the master attaches great importance to money, if you let him know...

"1 taels?!" Mrs. Zhang was startled when she heard that. She usually only buys satin for one or two taels of silver, so why is she spending so much today.

"No, the people from the silk and satin shop said that they had negotiated the price with our master. The guards in the palace were in a hurry, so the young one had to give them all the money collected in the afternoon, and it cost 2000 Two IOUs."

"This is not right." With a pale face, Mrs. Zhang took the things back to return, but she could only go back to the mansion and wait for Bayan to come back to discuss.

Shang Zhong can see that this Jiu Ye looks young, but he can't be bullied, and he will count on others if he doesn't make a sound.It seems that it was rumored in the palace a few years ago that this master is cruel and merciless.At the moment, he no longer dares to care about Bayan, only thinking about how to deal with it in the future.

Bayan was so distressed that he couldn't tell. He spent 1 taels to buy 1000 taels of silver. Besides, he didn't get a lot of money for buying stewards, so he went out all at once.What he didn't know was that the money still went into the hands of the ninth elder brother.

Yinzhen called the other two Yuanwailang into the room, and to Batu, Li Xijing ordered, "Check this account book carefully, and find out if there is any discrepancy." The two looked at each other and respectfully agreed.

Li Jingxi looked at Yinzhen with a bit of admiration, whether he could and dared to take care of it was already the main issue of the Accounting Department.It seems that this time, Long Live Lord finally chose the right person.

Yinzhen found Yuzi to stop Bayan's purchasing position, and sent him out.

Wailang Dahasu, a member of the Guangchu Department, came over with the brochure and asked for instructions: "Jiuye, this is the list of divisions issued by the palaces and prefectures in August. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be changed?"

Yinzhen took it in his hand and saw that it was something distributed to the royal family and clan members, such as details of satin, meals, moon silver, seasonal fruits, etc. Since it was midsummer, there were more items to prevent heatstroke such as ice cubes.After pondering for a while, Yinzhen raised his eyes and looked at Dahasu, and you said a few places, "Send more in these places, especially the first two places, if there is demand, I will allow all of them if there is no excess."

Dahasu saw that Yintang and you belonged to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, the Prince's Yuqing Palace, Defei's Yonghe Palace, and Concubine Min's Yongshou Palace.Secretly admired in my heart, the emperor valued filial piety, so he respected the queen mother, the crown prince was taken care of by the Lord Long Live overtly and secretly, while Concubine De was physically disobedient and served as a follower, as for Concubine Min, she stayed in the palace for Xiao Gege .

With such an arrangement by Yinzhen, on the surface, Kangxi would only praise him, but in secret, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, the thirteenth elder brother who is receiving divine favor, and the fourteenth elder brother will also get close to him.Dahasu just felt that if the ninth master really thought of these things, he was really thoughtful.As for Concubine Yi and Concubine Liang's palace, there was no need for Yinzhen to order, there were eighth elder brother and ninth elder brother or Yifei there, who would dare to give something less.

Half a month later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs first punished several officials with serious corruption in ink with great fanfare, many of whom belonged to the prince elder brother, which made the officials of various factions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were already clearly divided feel confused.Yinzhen is meticulous in doing things, and sometimes asks others for advice.Those who were going to give him a high profile made a wrong calculation, and those who were really down-to-earth were willing to get close to him.

The only one who gritted his teeth was Hai Laxun, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Yinzhen was the first to hit his nephew, who slapped him in the face.Whenever I see Yinzhen, I feel angry in my heart, but dare not say anything on the face.

Yinzhen had nothing to do that afternoon, so she went back to elder brother's place.

Counting the days, if Kangxi comes back, Jiayu and Princess Heshuo will probably marry far away to Mongolia.It's time for him to prepare, Yinzhen asked Ding Lan to be responsible for the gift list for Jiayu, and told him to make sure it was light, practical and hard to find in the grassland.If you don't understand anything, you can ask Su Yang.Chu Yun planned to give the gift list to Princess Heshuo, and asked that it should be both decent and practical.

A few days later, the prepared gift list came in from outside the palace. Yinzhen looked at it, and there were a lot of satin, high-quality tea, fine porcelain, and various jewelry.Yinzhen thought about it, and increased the amount of satin from five hundred pieces to one thousand, thinking that Jiayu loves to read, but grasslands are not easy to find, so he added some books.He also felt that in case of illness, there were not many medicinal materials there, so he asked Su Yang to prepare more medicinal materials.

Looking at the long list of gifts, Yinzhen felt that you were more conspicuous, so she reduced some large pieces of porcelain.These self-preparations are superfluous, and Kangxi will definitely prepare for both of them.

Thinking of the purse Jiayu gave him, thinking of her smiling and chatting with me, and shopping together, I felt uncomfortable and reluctant.Will that Horqin son, Battelle, who has met twice, treat Jiayu well?

Although she has a soft temper and a strong personality, she has a lot of ideas. If she is wronged because of her status, and she has no relatives to take care of her... Yinzhen greeted He Yuzhu and said, "It's not enough to bring the silver ticket to the grassland. It can’t be exchanged, Xiaoyu, you go back with the messenger, saying to buy more gold jewelry and put it in a small box.”

He Yuzhu, you nodded, but murmured in your heart, are you marrying a cousin or a daughter? If you think about it so carefully, how can Guo Luoluo Mansion wrong Miss Jiayu.

Just as he was thinking, someone came to report outside, but it was Brother Shi who arrived.He called Brother Nine outside the door, and Yinyu pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that Yinzhen was explaining things to He Yuzhu, he stopped in his tracks.

Yinzhen pointed to the chair by the kang and said a few words to He Yuzhu before sending him out.Turning his head to look at Yinyu who hadn't seen him for several days, although he was darker, he was much more energetic than when he was in the study, he couldn't help smiling, and said: "Looking at the appearance of the tenth younger brother, it is very comfortable to stay in the Ministry of War. .”

Yinyu looked at the table next to Yintang, and seeing that it was all in your heart, he said, "It's not just comfortable, I finally don't have to do fuss every day, academic math. The errands I have taught me are not difficult. The elder brother and the third uncle are here again. Ministry of War, what can I worry about. Sometimes I can go to the infantry barracks with my elder brother and find someone to practice riding and archery."

The weather was hot, even though there were ice cubes in Yintang's room, Yinyu who just came in was still sweating.Yinzhen said to Ziyan who was waiting in the room: "Bring two bowls of iced sour plum soup."

Yinyu looked at Yintang but seemed to be thinner again, her chin was sharper, and her fingers holding the tea bowl were as transparent, she straightened her face and asked, "Ninth brother, tell the truth, but someone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs dare not listen to you? Why? I haven't seen you for a few days, but you lost a lot of weight?"

Yinzhen shook his head, looked at Yinzhen, who was living a leisurely and comfortable life compared to himself, and sighed, "That's not true, the two departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who just took over, although not busy, there are many trivial things, it's hot today, thin It's normal." Even if there is something wrong, Yinzhen can solve it by himself.I told Yinti, with his temper, he didn't rush to the House of Internal Affairs immediately.

"That's good. If there is something wrong, you can tell me and see if I don't fix those slaves." After Yinyu finished speaking, Ziyan arrived with iced sour plum soup. Bowl to drink.

"By the way, Ninth Brother, I'm here today because I'm afraid that you will be bored in the palace, and the starling is not in Beijing. Tomorrow night, the elder brother's house will hold a birthday party for Yi Fujin Yiergenjueluo's birthday, and the elder brother asked me to bring you past."

Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, thinking that Yinzhen had indeed said to herself two months ago, go and sit with him more.

The next night, Yinzhen asked Chuyun to prepare a gift, and went to Yinzhen's mansion with Yinxuan.Many dignitaries of the clan who have not left Beijing, generals under Yinbi, and clan members of the Yiergenjueluo family have already come. The 25-year-old Yinyin was trusted by Kangxi and has been in charge of the army for many years. He has a heroic spirit.Seeing the two of them, he greeted them with a smile, and personally supported Yinzhen and Yinyu who saluted, and they were much warmer to them than before.

Not only that, but Yinzhen found that there were a lot of officials who came to pay respects to Yinti.He secretly sighed in his heart that Niu Zuanlu's family was so powerful, no wonder the elder brother treated the old ten so politely.What about yourself?Could it be that Yinxuan's idea was to pull himself and the old ten away from Yinhu to his side?

Yinzhen has been committed to extracting himself out of the vortex of Nine Dragons to seize the heir, but staying by Yinhu's side has no intention of helping him fight for that position. How could he really get involved with Yinzhen.He paid a lot of attention when he spoke, and when he looked at Yinti, he saw that the carefree old ten in his impression was holding a cup, looking at everyone with a smile on his face, talking less than himself, and didn't seem to care about others' flattery.
