History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

After Dr. Xu took the pulse, Fourth Master asked him, "How is it?"

"It's okay, it's just a slight fever, it's okay to drink more water."

"Don't take medicine?"

"No, the medicine is three-point poisonous. An Gege is still young and healthy, so it's better not to take the medicine."

Fourth Lord nodded.

Minning: "My lord, I told you I'm fine, I don't have a fever anymore."

Fourth master held back his anger and reprimanded her, "How old are you, don't you know how to take care of yourself?"

Minning immediately shut up resentfully.

Dr. Xu is a regular doctor in the mansion. He usually diagnoses and treats adults and children who have headaches and brain fever. He may not be very skilled in medicine, but it is okay to treat minor illnesses.

Of course, if Fourth Master, Fujin and elder brother were not feeling well, they would always call the imperial physician in the palace, and they rarely called Dr. Xu on weekdays.

Not long after Dr. Xu left, fourth master saw that she had nothing to do and left. He was still thinking about the errands next door. It was already a rare thing to come to see her.

Min Ning quickly got up from the bed, quickly put on his shoes and said to the ink book next to him, "Hurry up, take me to see Biying, is she okay?"

Mo Shu came to help her, and comforted her: "Don't worry, Ge Ge, I also know that you can't do without Bi Ying's waiting, so I just had her beaten twice, and she should be fine now."

The main house turned around the corridor, and there were several wing rooms separated by trees and rockeries. This is where Biying and Mo Shu lived.Min Ning was supported by Mo Shu, just in time to see Bi Ying hobbling towards the house with a basin of water.

When Biying saw the two, her face turned red, she hurriedly put the basin on the ground, and came to help Minning.

"Gege why are you here?"

As she spoke, she blamed Mo Shu again, "My master is still ill, how can I bring her here?"

Minning stopped her, "Don't blame me for getting the ink book." He looked at her with eyes full of guilt, "Biying, was the beating serious? Come in and let me see."

Bi Ying blushed a little, and said awkwardly: "Ge Ge, I'm fine, I'm just not used to it." Finally, she invited Min Ning into the room shyly.

"This medicine can remove bruises. You will lie down for the next two days, and I will find someone to take care of you." Minning came to Biying's room. The room was very plainly decorated, without many luxurious things.

Probably because she didn't want to continue talking about the part that was beaten, Bi Ying hurriedly ended the topic, "Ge Ge, I'm fine, but I look a little red after being hit twice. I don't need to rest for two days, and I can go back to work tomorrow."

Minning was also glad that fourth master was only teaching a lesson and didn't really hurt anyone, "You have been wronged by this matter, why don't you take this opportunity to go home and have a look?"

Bi Ying shook her head, "No need, I just went back to see it a few days ago."

Seeing that she really didn't look like she was beaten seriously, Minning felt relieved, "That's fine, but if you need to tell me something, remember to go to Dr. Xu to get some medicine later. You are an unmarried girl, if you It's not good to leave a mark."

After visiting Biying, Minning returned to the main room, and heard Su Peisheng's voice before reaching the door.

"Master An is waiting for you!"

Min Ning was overjoyed when he saw it, could it be that the fourth master sent money?

Sure enough, Su Peisheng took out a flat box from his sleeve and handed it over.

Minning took a careful look at Su Peisheng, thinking that he probably didn't know what was pretending here.But seeing his expression was cautious again, as if there was some treasure in the box, and he was a little uncertain.She didn't want to be known that she asked fourth master to borrow money.

These only turned in my mind for a moment, Minning took the box, "Go back and help me thank you, Lord, just say that I will keep it well."

Su Peisheng answered with a smile. He really doesn't know what's in this box?Before the grandfather came out of the study, he took this box in his hand and asked him to hand it to An Gege. Su Peisheng always thought that it contained hairpins or something.

When Su Peisheng left, Minning took the box and entered the room. After unsealed, she saw a bank note inside, each with a denomination of 3 taels. She counted exactly thirty, exactly four The [-] taels that my grandfather promised.

Then Minning raised his head and said to the dumbfounded Mo Shu, "Go to Biying and get the key to my treasure box."

Mo Shu nodded blankly, then turned around and ran out in a panic.After a while she ran back out of breath, holding a copper key in her hand.

Minning had already brought the treasure box over, took the key and opened the lock. Apart from some scattered silver taels in the treasure box, there were jewelry she often wore. She pulled out the bottom drawer, and there was a stack of silver bills rolled inside.

This is exactly the 3 taels of dowry that An's family gave her before, plus the borrowed money from the fourth master, the total is 6 taels.

6 taels is already a lot of money.

Mo Shu was still surprised that his master had so much silver. Although she said she was in charge of the master's dowry, the dowry was all purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the sum did not exceed 200 taels, which was compared to the 3 taels in the master's hand. It's so pitiful.

But what made her even more unexpected was that the master actually gave such a large sum of money to the master!

Seeing her surprised look, Minning couldn't help laughing, "Don't show such an expression, I borrowed the 3 taels of my master, and I will have to pay it back in the future."

Seeing so many bank notes at once, Mo Shu was still shocked.

Minning stopped looking at him, but counted the bank notes in his hand, put them into the box and said to Mo Shu, "Go and call me Xiao Luzi."

After Xiaoluzi came, Minning told him. "Before my master leaves Beijing, you can help me to ask if anyone is willing to help me travel to Guangzhou. If anyone is willing, please tell me the candidate, and I will go to see him and explain some things."

Xiao Luzi immediately went to bring a message, but Minning was a little surprised by the person he brought back, "Why is it him?"

Xiao Luzi said with a sad face: "The servant also helped to persuade, but Mr. Zheng insisted on making this trip."

"What about writing?"

Xiao Luzi replied: "Mr. Zheng recommended a classmate of his, saying that the writing in lower case is better than him, and not only the lower case, but also the upper case has a bit of Yan Zhenqing's style, and at the same time, he dabbled in several other fonts." He took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, "For fear that the slave would not believe me, Mr. Zheng even dragged the slave to his classmate's house, and asked the classmate to write it for the slave by himself."

Minning took it, she couldn't tell if it was not strong, but the writing was regular, not worse than Zheng Jun's.

After thinking about it, she said: "Since Mr. Zheng recommended it, let his classmate take over. Have you made it clear to him that you may go to sea with him this time when you go to Guangzhou?"

"This slave didn't say anything."

Minning was a little embarrassed for a while, but she still had an impression of this Zheng Jun. Although she was a scholar, it was rare that she did not have a pedantic air.Although the suggestion given to her last time was nothing new, it was considered pretty good in this day and age.

Her main dilemma was that her initial target was Acton, but it was Zheng Jun who jumped out.

"Forget it, go and ask. If he is willing, he can also call Acton. By the way, he is still at the concierge, right? You can take it back together!"

Xiao Luzi ran again, but fortunately the distance was not too far, and it only took an hour to run back and forth.

When he came back here, he was already sweating profusely.

"Master, master..."

Minning hurriedly asked Mo Shu to show him a seat, and poured him a cup of tea himself.

Xiao Luzi received it with flattered hands, "Thank you, master, for the water."

"No hurry, let's talk after a while, don't worry for a while." Minning was really afraid of exhausting the boy.

After drinking the water, Xiao Luzi couldn't wait to speak when his breath calmed down, "The servant asked again carefully. Mr. Zheng said that he was willing, and he also said that he was willing to listen to the master's orders. As for Lord Acton, he said that Lord Baylor had already I told him to obey your orders in the future, and you can just give orders if you have anything to do in the future, so there is no need to be so troublesome."

Minning got up, "Okay, I'll go and tell Fujin right away, you go and tell Zhang Qilin to prepare the carriage for me."

"Yes, Grid."

When Fujin heard that An Gege was going out, he curiously asked Fang Fei to invite him in.

"I heard you're going out?"

Min Ning blessed his lower body, and replied respectfully: "Yes, Fujin, someone came to the house a few days ago, and only then did I know that my concubine, Ama, has accompanied me to several shops. I am checking the accounts these days, and I heard that one of the shops was out of business." Question. I think it’s not far from our mansion, so I want to go and have a look in person.”

Fujin thought to himself, it really is because his status is too low, this kind of matter should be handled by people close to him, how can there be any reason to go over to check by himself?

Thinking about it like this, Fujin said: "I have to ask my master about this matter. If I have no opinion, I will naturally not stop you." Then he called a little eunuch from outside the house and asked him to go to the next door to ask.

Minning stood in the middle of the room, watching his nose, nose, and heart in silence.

Fujin picked up the tea bowl, and slowly blew on the floating tea leaves, the room became quiet, Fujin raised his eyes to look at the person standing below, and quickly looked back.

After a while, the little eunuch ran back again, knelt on the ground and reported to Fujin, "Master Baylor allowed Angege to go out."

There was no surprise expression on Fujin's face, he said "Yes", and then said to Minning, "Since the Lord agrees, I won't stop you, remember to bring the guards of the mansion with you when you go out, and go back as early as possible ..."

"Son, are you really going to Guangzhou?" Widow Li's life these days seemed to be like a dream. First, her son took her to the inner city and lived in a big courtyard.

The son is appreciated by the master, the monthly money has also increased, and there is a free big house for them to live in, and they can receive gifts such as rice, flour, grain, oil, melons, fruits and vegetables on festivals. Only then does she feel that living a delicious life .

Unexpectedly, after only a few days of good life, her son told her that he would go to Guangzhou, and he also said that it would take a year at least, or two or three years at most.How can Widow Li, who has always been dependent on her son, accept this?

"Mother, don't worry, even if I leave, someone will take care of you for me." Zheng Jun comforted her.

Widow Li held her son's hand tightly, "If you leave now, what about next year's exam? You won't participate in the exam?"

Seeing his mother like this, Zheng Jun knew that she would not let go unless she made it clear, so he helped her to a chair beside him, "Mother, you also know that my son can only go so far when he is studying, even if he takes the exam, It doesn’t necessarily lead to good results.”

"Then why don't you just give up without even trying?" Widow Li was so anxious that she shed tears. Her son's study is not only the hope of her husband, but also her support all these years.

Zheng Jun sighed and comforted: "Mother, can we take it easy?"

Widow Li took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, "Speak, mother, listen."

Zheng Jun squatted down and rested his head on Widow Li's lap just like when he was a child.

Widow Li's expression was in a trance, as if she was back in her youth, when her husband was chopping firewood in the yard, she was sitting at the door holding the soles of her shoes, her son was still young at that time, less than her thigh, and he relied on her legs all day long .

"Mom, an ordinary student like me who has no money, no backing, and not very outstanding knowledge, even if he passes the exam, there is no good vacancy for me. Maybe I have to waste a few years in the capital." The capital is waiting to fill the vacancy. Yes, they have been in the queue for several years, and those with status and background have been assigned vacancies. Even if they can't stay in the capital, it is better to be assigned to be a county magistrate in another place than to stay in the capital.

After listening to these words, Widow Li hesitated, "Then you mean that you won't take part in the test in the future?"

"No..." Seeing that his mother's mood had calmed down, Zheng Jun explained in detail: "Mother, you probably don't know that my master is not an ordinary person. If I do my best, I may have a good future in the future, and may even be recommended Go directly to be an official. Now it is not difficult for the master to find someone to go to Guangzhou. Next year's test is important."

He is still young now, and it is already a little difficult to pass the examination of scholar. He is really not sure about this time, so it is better to wait a few years.

But there is no way to explain these words clearly to his mother. He actually has other ideas in his heart. Although he is now working for Zhen Baylor's concubine, he believes that as long as he performs well, he may not be able to get into Zhen Baylor's eyes!

The most important thing right now is to give people a good impression first, so that they can take the opportunity to catch Zhen Baylor later.

Moreover, Zheng Jun always felt that he was doing things for that Zhen Baylor, but some business was not convenient for Lord Baylor to take care of, so he put it under the name of his concubine.

Even though the concubines who came into contact with Zhen Baylor a few times, Zheng Jun firmly believed that everything was controlled by Zhen Baylor.

This made Zheng Jun hint in private whenever he met someone who tripped him up, letting the other party know who the master behind him was, which made him invincible in the mall for a while.It wasn't until he met other princes in the south of the Yangtze River that he hit a snag for the first time that he figured out that the master behind him had always been Zhenbei Le's Gege.

"Is the master behind you really that powerful?" Widow Li asked eagerly, clutching her son's sleeve.

Zheng Jun came back to his senses, and patted Widow Li's hand reassuringly, "It's true, it's bigger than you imagined. So mother, it's a good thing for me to go to Guangzhou this time."

Widow Li immediately wiped her tears, "In that case, I'll pack your luggage for you."

"Mother, don't rush to clean up. I won't be leaving until half a month later. I'm probably very busy during this time. If you need any help here, you can go to Mr. Lin's house next door. Mr. Lin has already said, what's the matter?" You can ask his servants for help."

"Mother knows, just go about your errands and don't let down the trust of the master."

"Ah."

Minning gave a total of 5 taels of silver to Acton and Zheng Jun, and she kept 1 taels to give herself a way out and avoid putting all her eggs in one basket.

The 5 taels can be exchanged at the bank in the capital, and it will be a blank piece of paper when they leave the capital, so Minning's order is to let the two take out the 5 taels, and then buy a large amount of tea, porcelain, embroidery, ginseng, Antler and other specialties.

After buying the goods, I took a boat via Tianjin, and arrived in Guangzhou via Fujian in less than ten days.

After arriving in Guangzhou, the two did not sell the cargo directly, but went to the Thirteenth Bank to find a man named Pan Yuancheng.

This person is a tea merchant of the Thirteenth Bank. A few years ago, the fourth master had managed the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and had contact with the Thirteenth Bank. At that time, this man joined him and gave him gifts every year.The chime bell that Minning got before was given by this person.

It can be said that this person is the subordinate of the fourth master. After Minning asked the fourth master, he directly asked Acton and the two to come to him.

Thirteen lines are not only thirteen lines, but now there are more than 20 lines of business, large and small.

Pan Yuancheng is a tea merchant, the firm he owns is not big, and there is always the danger of being annexed by others, but all this changed after he became the fourth prince, although the fourth prince didn't pay much attention to him, but the court's From the perspective of the prince, the officials treated him differently.This is also one of the reasons why he actively gave gifts to the fourth prince during the Chinese New Year.

This sympathy is enough for him to keep his business, and even expand it slowly.

This day, Pan Yuancheng had just returned from a meeting with other merchants when he heard the shop assistant say that someone from the capital city had come and was waiting for him in the shop.

Pan Yuancheng didn't care about changing clothes, so he went to the business without stopping.

As soon as the two parties came into contact, Pan Yuancheng recognized Acton when he saw him. He had seen this man beside the fourth prince when he was in the capital, and he seemed to be a guard.Seeing that the person was indeed the prince, he hurriedly arranged a place to stay.

Acton was only responsible for sending Zheng Jun to Guangzhou and hooking up with the Thirteen Banks by the way, and Zheng Jun would talk to Pan Yuncheng about the next thing.

Zheng Jun arched his hands first, and then said eloquently, "Master Pan, my Majesty Zheng Jun is now working as an accountant under the name of An Gege. This time, An Gege ordered me to come to Guangzhou with goods of 5 taels of silver. The merchant ship of the firm will go to Nanyang, of course we will pay for the ship.”

Pan Yuancheng showed a polite smile, then stroked his beard and asked, "Who is this An Gege that Brother Zheng is talking about?"

Zheng Jun replied: "An Gege is Zhen Baylor's Gege, but I think adults should know that a Gege cannot easily spend 5 taels of silver..."

As for the unfinished meaning of these words, it depends on the individual's understanding.

Acton's eyelids jumped suddenly, he glanced at Zheng Jun, and lowered his eyes again.

If he didn't know the inside story, what he said made him think that the owner of the 5 taels of goods was actually Lord Baylor.

Pan Yuancheng glanced at Acton, and seeing that he did not refute, he showed a knowing smile.

"In this case, I will definitely help with this matter, but you have to look at the goods first. The goods shipped to Nanyang don't have to be high-quality goods. If the goods are too good, you can sell some of them in Guangzhou first, and then replace them with other goods. Just at the beginning of the month, there was a fleet going to Nanyang, and Zheng Xiaodi came so coincidentally that he was able to catch up." It turned out that Zhen Baylor was short of money, and Pan Yuancheng felt that he had the truth.

However, this Zhenbei Le is really different. Other princes who lack money will just reach out for it, but this one has turned around in such a big circle, using the name of his concubine to make money.

It's really unique.

With Pan Yuancheng, a local snake, the tea and porcelain embroidery did not move. Instead, the ginseng, deer antler and other tonics brought over were divided up by the merchants gathered by the thirteen lines, and they were directly exchanged for nearly 6 taels of silver. That is to say, the principal of this trip has been earned back.

Acton and Zheng Jun looked at each other holding the bank notes. They never expected that they could make so much profit just because of the difference between the north and the south.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but be moved. Since it is so profitable to transport goods from the north to the south, wouldn't it be more profitable to transport them to Nanyang?

At first, I was a little confused about why the master asked them to go to Guangzhou, and even emphasized that if there was a chance, they would buy a few ships to reach the Nanyang fleet.It turned out that he had already seen the huge profits brought about by this.

Zheng Jun admired him a little, as it turned out that it was Lord Baylor, who was much more knowledgeable than a scholar like him.

"Otherwise, I'll take the silver back and return it to Angege?" Acton suggested.

But Zheng Jun said, "I think it's better to divide the silver into two parts. You take 2 taels of silver back, and the remaining 3 taels are exchanged for goods and sold to Nanyang. Didn't you hear Master Pan say that? Spices and precious stones can be seen everywhere, and when these goods are sold, they will buy special products from Nanyang, and then sell them directly to the south of the Yangtze River, where the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are very rich." He automatically changed An Gege's name to Lord Baylor.

These words convinced Acton. Anyway, with Pan Yuancheng watching, he is not afraid of him running away with the goods, not to mention his wife is still in the capital!

"So you're willing to take a trip to Nanyang?" Acton asked seriously.

Zheng Jun nodded, "While I am young, I also want to see what Nanyang is like."

Acton patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, your mother, I will help you watch."

Zheng Jun smiled, "Then thank you, sir."

A few days later, the fleet bound for Nanyang converged at the port. Although Pan Yuancheng also had a few cargoes, he did not follow the ships.

"Chen Danian! This is brother Zheng Jun. Regardless of his young age, he is still a handsome scholar. This time he will go to Luzon with the boat. Take care of him during the journey."

Pan Yuancheng pulled Zheng Jun onto a boat, and stopped a man in his thirties on the boat. This man was not tall, and his skin was dark and yellow. He could tell he had been exposed to the sun all year round.

"Okay, boss."

Then Pan Yuancheng told Zheng Jun, "Chen Danian has been running this route for more than ten years, and he knows the situation on this route very well. If there is a storm, you will not lose your boats if you follow him closely."

Zheng Jun knew that this was not only related to several ships of goods but also his life, so he thanked Pan Yuancheng cautiously.

Pan Yuancheng patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, it's my brother, what's there to thank!"

Someone in the port blew a horn, which was a signal that the fleet was about to set sail, and the first few ships raised their sails.

After parting, Zheng Jun stood on the boat and watched Pan Yuancheng and Acton getting farther and farther away from the port and gradually shrinking.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the ship. The fleet in front of him was mighty, and he was as insignificant as he was in the space between heaven and earth.

Looking at the vast sea, he couldn't help but open up his mind, and began to look forward to this journey.

After Fourth Master left Beijing, the backyard was quiet again, except for the family members of the mansion to have a reunion dinner together on Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Minning received a letter containing tens of thousands of taels of silver notes. The letter was sent by Acton, who described in detail what he had seen and heard along the way and what Zheng Jun had done. .

At first Minning was happy to make money so smoothly, but then he was worried that the cargo of several ships would be lost in shipwrecks. After all, the probability of shipwreck in this era is too high.

But thinking that the 2 taels plus the 1 taels she left behind would be enough to repay the fourth master's money, she was a little relieved.If you are really unlucky, you will lose if you lose, and the big deal is slowly accumulating original funds.

For the next few days, Minning was worried about her few shipments, fearing that there would be bad news.

The emperor was not in Beijing, and apart from some trivial matters, there was no topic that could arouse everyone's interest. The days passed without salt or blandness, and just when people thought that this peaceful day would last until the emperor returned, there was a loud thunder that shook the whole world. Jingcheng jumped three times.

Prince Cheng, he...had his head shaved!

Well, this was originally a very common thing, but it happened at this sensitive time when Concubine Min hadn't passed a hundred days, so it can no longer be treated as a normal thing.

Concubine Min is the concubine of Prince Cheng, and according to the regulations, she must keep her filial piety within a hundred days.

Filial piety is the first priority in life, not to mention ordinary people, even the emperor must abide by filial piety, and become a model of filial piety in the world.

Shaving one's head during filial piety is naturally regarded as a proof of unfilial piety.

The head shaving incident quickly caused an uproar in the court, and it was also spread to the people. The people in the whole capital were discussing it.

If this is in later generations, let alone shaving your hair during filial piety, no one will bother you even if you shave your head, let alone keeping filial piety for your father's concubine.

However, looking at this matter in this era, it has become a big deal. Many people accused King Cheng of being unfilial, which meant nailing him to the pillar of shame.

Even Minning, a woman in the backyard, has heard about it, but she always feels that someone must be behind this matter. Otherwise, how could the news spread that King Cheng shaved his head in his mansion?

We must know that in this era, common people love to wear hats, and hats are indispensable for princes to go out. Who can lift his hat and see that he has shaved his head?

I heard that the thirteenth elder brother ran out of the palace directly after hearing the news, and ran to the palace of the Chengjun prince to make a fuss, but the Chengjun prince avoided seeing him.

This matter was soon known by the emperor who was far outside the Great Wall, and on the first day of September, an edict was sent to the clan's mansion in a hurry.

"I heard that Lord Long Live was very angry. He condemned King Chengjun in his decree and ordered the clan's mansion to detain him and punish him severely." Someone whispered.

In the past few days, it was like a bowl of water poured into a boiling oil pan in the capital city, and the pan exploded in an instant.There was no one to stop the emperor's absence. True and false news spread everywhere. There were people discussing this matter everywhere in the capital, making it as lively as New Year's Eve.

As soon as any news is spread out, it spreads all over the street in an instant, and then it spreads ten times and hundreds of times, and it is completely changed in a blink of an eye.

The clan's mansion handed over the paper to the emperor, and not long after it was handed over, the news spread.

As for who passed it on, ordinary people don't care, and everyone's attention is focused on the news that has been spread.

Why change the title of the county king of the Chengjun king?And the Minister, Chang Shi, and first-class bodyguards who manage the county palace will be whipped a hundred times each, and the shackles will be used for three months?

Upon hearing the result drawn up by the Clan Mansion, even the common people felt that the punishment was a bit heavy.

If you lose the title of county king, isn't that just turning into a bald elder brother?There is also Chang Shi and others who whipped the county prince's mansion a hundred times. This is not a problem, but the shackles are a bit serious for three months.

What is the shackle for three months? It means that you are put on torture tools and let you reform through labor. It is completely treating people as prisoners.Even if he is released upon expiration, it is impossible to return to his original position.

Fortunately, the emperor also felt that the sentence of the clan's mansion was a bit heavy, and the imperial decree came down, and the title of the king of Sanage County was downgraded to Baylor, and the former servant of the palace was forgiven. As for the others, although they could not escape a hundred lashes, they were allowed to redeem themselves.

As soon as the results came out, Minning found that everyone's focus was skewed. Most of them were joking about whether it would be worthwhile for Zhibei Le to exchange his title for a shave.

Looking at the whole incident, Minning found that the emperor made a big fuss and sternly reprimanded him and mercilessly lowered the title of the third elder brother. It may not be that he did not intend to protect his son. This was completely blocking the courtiers with the title of the third elder brother Q.

The common people naturally don't know about this surging in the dark.The crown prince was in Beijing and hadn't spoken for the third elder brother. Although the eldest elder brother was not in Beijing, his faction was still there.There is no movement from both parties, which is very strange, or maybe the two parties have tacitly cooperated to kick out the threatening third elder brother?

Of course, these were just Minning's brainstorming for a while, but this big drama made her forget to pay attention to the matter of going to sea.

The matter of the third elder brother interrupted the emperor's trip outside the Great Wall, ended anticlimactically, and returned to the capital at the end of the month.

When the emperor returned to the capital, the fourth master naturally returned to the capital as well, but his return did not cause any disturbances, and only caused a slight disturbance in the Baylor Mansion.

After the fifth day of October, Concubine Min's [-]-day mourning period will be over, but because of the shock before, everyone is cautious, and it will be over for a few more days.

In Baylor's mansion, the originally plain backyard slowly began to take on other bright colors, and meat began to reappear on the table.

Fourth master appeared in her room, without saying a word, threw a booklet in front of her, "Are you going to run a merchant ship in the name of master?"
