Chapter 274 Urgent
"Since there are stones, why don't you move them away?" Su Zicheng roared angrily. Lv Feng obediently, took care of his clothes, bowed to Su Zicheng to the end, and then straightened up before answering Su Zicheng's words: "It's been kicked away. I just asked Xiao Wu, didn't you trip just now? It's in the middle of the road. In the middle of speaking, Lu Feng turned his head and squeezed his eyes at Li Xiaoyao. Su Zicheng stared at Lu Feng and asked coldly, "Have you practiced in the morning?"
"I'm going to go, and I'm on my way to practice!" After a moment of feeling guilty, Lv Feng righteously pointed to the second door and replied. Su Zicheng looked at him gloomily and squeezed a few words out: "I'll practice with you later!" Lv Feng was smart and subconsciously stepped back half a step. He waved his hand and smiled repeatedly, "I can practice by myself. You're busy, you're busy with yours, you're busy!" I'm going to find Sister Xiuyun. I'll practice with Sister Xiuyun. You're busy!" Lv Feng retreated as he said. In the end, he raised his hand and grabbed Li Xiaoyao and said quickly, "Just now, Li Ji in the east of the city sent someone to say that the first batch of Nandang chicken head rice came this morning. I will go and have a look after practicing. Let's come back and eat!"
"Good! It happens that there are good fresh shrimps today. Let's have shrimp, chicken and rice for lunch!" Li Xiaoyao answered with a smile. Lv Feng waved his hand heavily to show his agreement. He leaned back and jumped away. Su Zicheng looked at the direction of Lv Feng's disappearance with anger. This early good mood was completely ruined by him!
Li Xiaoyao looked at Su Zicheng's angry face and moved aside. He stood opposite Su Zicheng and smiled, "Has the prince had breakfast yet?"
"No!" Su Zicheng took a deep breath and pressed down the nameless fire,
"I didn't eat it either. Last night, I asked Begonia to make vegetarian steamed vermicelli roll, as well as Shumai, shrimp dumplings, and cooked millet porridge. Why don't you eat it with me?" Li Xiaoyao smiled. Su Zicheng suppressed the nameless fire and nodded. Li Xiaoyao quickly turned his head and told Xirong to put breakfast in the Jicui Pavilion in the garden. He asked Su Zicheng to go to Jicui Pavilion and said with a smile, "The prince came back just in time. A lot of things are waiting for you to decide. One is the matter of tea, wine and salt. Shi Yu, Zhao Hongzhi and Ming Qian have been busy for more than half a month and set a rule for the bidding. I have seen it and show it to the prince later. It's July and a half, and the date of the bidding is set for the next day of the Zhongyuan Festival. What do you think?
"You are in charge of this matter, and you don't have to show it to me. Just tell me when you have time." Su Zicheng's breath gradually became smooth. Li Xiaoyao nodded and then said, "It's better to be the prince's host." Seeing that Su Zicheng nodded and agreed, Li Xiaoyao continued to say, "The second thing is the death of the Zhongyuan Festival. I think that we should not only sacrifice our fallen soldiers in Beiping, but also those lonely ghosts in Wudi. It's better to sacrifice them in the same way. It's not easy to say in a letter. I'll let Shi Yu and others quietly first. I'm ready, and even a copy of the sacrificial text has been prepared. Let's take a look. Is this appropriate? Su Zicheng stopped walking, stretched his face a little, nodded repeatedly and smiled, "It's appropriate! Why is it not suitable! That's what I think! We also regard Wudi as a people! Are Chuzhou and Runzhou ready? Tell them the same sacrifice! Did you write the sacrificial text?
"I'm ready to send the letter and the sacrificial text later. How can I write the sacrificial text? It was written by Shi Yu. Li Xiaoyao replied with his hands relaxedly. Su Zicheng glanced at her and smiled and said, "Yes, they don't have that blessing to take action. Shi Yu heard that she is also a talent. How about it? Have you seen it?"
"Well, let him change it four or five times and show it to the prince later."
"Hmm." Su Zicheng answered, turned his head and looked at Li Xiaoyao and smiled, "This year, Huainan Road is a good year, and the rice fields are golden everywhere. The rice ears are heavy to look at. I have never seen so many rice fields. People who see them are hot! I'll take you out of the city tomorrow!"
"The prince has to cry tomorrow! It is not appropriate to wander out of the city to see the rice fields. Speaking of this bumper year, it's also worrying. I'm most afraid that the grain will hurt the farmers. It's best to collect it at a high price. It costs a lot of money. Look at the bid the day after tomorrow. It seems that the rice money this year has to come out from here. Li Xiaoyao sighed and said, Su Zicheng walked slowly, and his eyebrows gradually frowned. He looked at Li Xiaoyao and said with a wry smile, "How much money can there be? I told my eldest brother about the Fengnian on Huainan Road, and my eldest brother will think about it.
"Does the household department still have money?" Li Xiaoyao turned his head and asked. Su Zicheng shook his head angrily. Li Xiaoyao turned his head and sighed and changed the topic: "Let's not talk about this, let's have breakfast first, and then I will tell the prince about the bidding and the sacrificial text. The prince has to take a good look. If there is nothing wrong, let people copy it to Taiping and Chizhou Prefecture quickly. , there are a lot of other things!" Su Zicheng responded with a smile. The two went to Jicuiting for breakfast. As soon as they left the garden, Nanning came in and saluted Li Xiaoyao with a smile on his face. He stood up and reported, "Master, Ruan Da, the foreign steward of the water family, asked to see you." Su Zicheng frowned, turned to look at Li Xiaoyao and asked, "What's wrong with him?" Have you come to see it?"
"I heard that you have been here for a while, but you haven't come to see me. What can I do? It must be for business to come to Yangzhou now!" Li Xiaoyao said with a smile. Su Zicheng frowned a little more, took a deep breath, and looked at Nanning and said, "Take him to the side hall to wait."
In the side hall, Ruan Da did not dare to sit down. He stood next to the chair with a little restlessness. He kept looking behind the hall. Su Zicheng went up the steps. Ruan Da heard the noise and hurriedly bowed over. He knelt down and kowtowed several times and said, "Ruan Da kowtowed to the prince!"
"Get up." Su Zicheng kept walking straight to the top and sat down, took the tea served by the servant, lowered his eyelids and asked, "Your master sent you here? What's the matter?"
"In the words of the prince, the old man sent the little one for the sake of Huainan Road tea and wine. The family's business has not been good in the past few years. The old man and the second master have been very worried. I heard that Huainan Road tea and wine should be released like our Beiping, so I sent the little one to see the opportunity." Ruan Da bowed his hand and replied respectfully. Su Zicheng put down the cup, looked at Ruan Da and asked, "Have you seen the fifth master?" Ruan Da was stunned and quickly replied, "When I returned to the prince, when I arrived in Yangzhou, he said that the prince was not in the city. Until now, I haven't seen the prince yet, so..."
"If you want to do business, why don't you want to see the fifth master? The fifth master has always done justice. If you don't see it, it's the same. Shi Yu has released the list. Take a good look and go to the day after tomorrow. Well, I have something else to do. Let's leave. Su Zicheng stood up as he spoke. Ruan swallowed Huang Lian and swallowed his saliva heavily, but he didn't even dare to say more. The second master had always been moody and angry. What's more, this master's face was gloomy since he came in. Ruan looked at Su Zicheng with big eyes and disappeared in a blink of an eye. He stood for a long time, facing a servant next to him. Arched his hand and said, "This little brother, please call him Master Nanning." The little man looked at him a few times, said, and came out to see a rude woman shouting, "Mrs. Yan, call him Master Nan, and the man in the hall is looking for him." The woman answered and swallowed it slowly. After a long time, Nanning came out of it.
Ruan Da saluted Nanning and whispered with a smile on his face, "Just now, the prince said that he had to see the fifth master. Is the fifth master here now? Can you send me a message?" Nanning also smiled, but said rudely: "The fifth master is more difficult to see than the prince. This is still said by your second master. I can pass on this, but the fifth master is busy today. It's hard to say whether you can see him or not. You wait first." With that, he arched his hand and turned in. He turned out and spread his hand and said, "Look, let me talk about it. Uncle Ruan, go back first. Tomorrow is the Zhongyuan Festival, so you don't have to come over. You must not see it. Maybe the day after tomorrow. Come and have a look." Ruan laughed with a yellow face, and it was marked early the day after tomorrow. It's useless to say goodbye!
Coming out of the other courtyard, Ruan Da sat in the car and shook halfway. Suddenly, he kicked the front board of the car and called for a stop. The car stopped. Ruan Dazhong knocked on the forehead. Where did Zhao say he lived? After thinking about it for a long time, he hurriedly lifted the curtain and ordered, "Go to Yangjiao Hutong!" Hutongkou, the first family!" The driver turned the car and ran straight to Yangjiao Hutong, but Zhao Wuge was not at home, and Zhang Zhongyi was not there. The two of them were busy returning in the middle of the night every day. Ruan Dagu sat in Yangjiao Hutong and drank tea until his stomach was swollen. He waited until dusk was about to pass before they returned to Zhao Wuge and Zhang Zhongyi. The two were extremely enthusiastic and knew nothing about it. Inexhaustible, I told the tea mountain, salt farm and Jingbiao in detail. I saw that Ruan Da was only guarded in Yangzhou, everywhere in the tea mountains, the salt fields and wineries in Lugang, but I didn't see any of them! Zhao Wuge and Zhang Zhongyi looked at each other for a moment, so they had to order the little man to take the booklet he had made. They told Ruan Da everywhere and only said it in the middle of the night. The next day, Ruan Da came early in the morning and took several accounts to copy the booklet carefully, which made him feel a little deep.
The next morning, Yangzhou was still prosperous, but there was solemnity and faint sadness in the traditional Chinese. The government wanted to sacrifice the army in battle, and the people wanted to pay tribute to their deceased relatives and friends. This festival had nothing to do with the lively celebration.
Shi Yu prepared for the sacrifice of the fallen soldiers early in the morning. In the early morning, she set up a guard of honor and set it out four or five miles away from the gate of the other courtyard. The four Qianshan at the front are more than ten feet high. In the morning dawn, there is silver light, which is extremely spectacular. Hundreds of monks and Taoists hold wooden fish ringing bells mixed with it. Such sacrifices have always been only peace. Only in the government, the people of Yangzhou have never seen such a lively life, calling for friends, and the three floors outside are ready to follow and watch.
