The moon comes to take pictures

"The report from Jianghuai..." An eunuch wearing a black armor and wearing a sword was talking next to Chang Xi, when he suddenly saw someone coming in, his voice dropped, "Duke, please take a look... I will take my leave."

When someone came in, he saw a solid document on the table in front of Chang Xi, and he was holding a residence newspaper in his hand, looking at it, not avoiding people.

They are all confidantes, Chang Xi half-jokingly said: "Good boy, I know that our family has business, carefully I will take you to investigate."

It was only a young man who came, and it was Yutuan'er.Now he was standing at the door, not going in for a long time, as if he had something on his mind, the eunuch with the saber brushed past him, and even looked at him twice, because of his domineering, he didn't even say a word to reprimand him.

"What's the matter?" Chang Xi waved at Yu Tuan'er, "Looking at how wronged you are, can someone still bully you on our land?"

Yutuan'er dawdled before saying, "I saw my brother at the banquet yesterday."

"Have you ever talked about it?" Chang Xi raised one eyebrow slightly, and could see that he cherished Yutuan'er's look. He hooked his fingers, asked someone to come to him, and put it on his thigh: "Both of you, only you I was reluctant, so I only let him go alone, besides, Wei Shui is just one of my dogs, so if I ask him to come, why won’t he come?”

Yutuan'er curled her lips, and stammered hesitantly: "Grand Du, my brother is not doing well at Wei Tongzhi's house!"

"What?" Chang Xi narrowed his eyes, and didn't say anything cruel about Wei Shui, but asked, "What did he do to your brother?"

Yutuan'er cried, "My brother has so many wounds on his arms and body, and he beat, strangled, and bit them all!"

Hearing this bite, Chang Xi understood, and her tense face quickly relaxed: "Is this, the joy of the boudoir..."

After all, Yutuan'er is a child, and he has less eyesight than his elder brother. After coaxing him, he forgot about it, and it was the time when he was loved by Chang Xi. After being hugged and said a few words, he felt it After playing like this for a long time, Yutuan'er fell on the desk with a whimper, and her waist became limp.Even if he didn't follow the decoction, he played around for half a day, and the books and books in the room were all messed up. At noon, only a small fireman came to ask: "Grandpa, is Xie Weiqing from the chamber of commerce missing?"

Chang Xi said, "He's the only one here?"

Outside the door: "Yes."

Chang Xi fiddled with the collar, slowly tied it up, and replied calmly, "Tell him to wait."

In this way, Xie Yan waited in the side hall for half an hour before finally arriving at Chang Xi.

Small fruits such as pomegranates and jujubes were placed in the hall, and Xie Yan was looking at them, when suddenly he opened the curtains from left to right, and Chang Xi strolled in with a leisurely tone: "Oh, I'm late, did you keep Wei Qing waiting for a long time? "

To outsiders, Chang Xi always had such an attitude, and Xie Yan had no choice but to stand up and salute: "Where, waiting for Duke Du's chariot, even if you tell me to wait all day and night without sleep, that's worth it!"

Chang Xiyin laughed loudly: "I see that there is no one in Nanjing who is more flattering to our family than you, Xie Weiqing!"

They can be considered old acquaintances, why don't they know the truth and falsehood in the other party's words? Jun Yu.

"Those shops in Shicheng will pay dividends in one month. I plan to distribute more money to Shizi from me."

Chang Xi praised: "Wei Qing has always been aware of the overall situation and is loyal. In this regard, our family has not misunderstood you. It is no wonder that Wei Tongzhi introduced me that day."

Xie Yan said: "Weiqing has neither talent nor character, the only way to win over people is to give up some money."

Chang Xiza figured out the meaning of his words, and looked at him: "Your Majesty, after all, it's from our side."

"But my son," Xie Yan said bitterly, "he is too close to the Ning family."

After a while of silence, Chang Xi spoke, and looked at Xie Yan with a look that was not very contemptuous: "Why do you say it? It's just a person, so everyone can see it?"

"...a slip of the tongue."

The cool afternoon breeze blows, passes through the hanging flower door, lifts the vines, and blows through the hallway into the side hall. Chang Xi smiles and breaks a blood-red pomegranate, with a bottomless smile: "I said, the east wind blows The distinguished guests who don’t come, why come to me today.”

The pomegranate juice stained his hands yellow, and he didn't ask anyone to come over to deliver the wet handkerchief. He just smiled and said, "So you came here to instigate me?"

After eating lunch, Yuan Junyu read miscellaneous books for a while, then glanced at the gate from time to time.

The old eunuch was serving water and tea, and when he came over, he also asked a few words: "No visitors today?"

"No, my lord."

Yuan Junyu nodded slightly, and asked again: "Is the gate guarded?"

"It was guarded."

He said again: "Go over and have a look, people will relax after noon, and it is easy to neglect their duties."

The eunuch went out in response, and came back after a while to report: "Your Majesty is indeed wise. There were indeed two people dozing off there, and they have already been punished. I asked the other guards, but fortunately there were no visitors during the day."

"Just a lesson." Yuan Junyu put down his book and drank tea absently, "Is there someone guarding the corner gates on the north and south sides?"

"The servant girl is going to beat it."

After a while, the eunuch came back and reported that there were no visitors. Yuan Junyu was not very happy, but he didn't say it clearly, and only ordered: "Is the eight-treasure gold and silver that was ordered by the jewelry shop a while ago ready?"

As soon as the eunuch asked this sentence, the eunuch understood, and lowered his head: "The decent people went to pick it up, and they should be back in two minutes."

The time he estimated was exactly right, and two quarters later, the things were sent back. It was the same old eunuch who delivered the things to Yuan Junyu, and said while opening the box: "The one who was in trouble, on the way back after picking up the things." , I met Commander Ning's servant and said a few words, so it was late, otherwise, I would have arrived before the meal. The old servant just punished that person, so I won't dare to do it next time."

Yuan Junyu said: "What strange things did you say, and you are still tied up?"

The old eunuch laughed: "I told you about the birthday of the second master of the Ning family, and when the day came, he went to the countryside to look for his mother's old nanny. I'm a servant. After all, my mouth broke and I chatted a lot. It's too late."

"countryside?"

"It's not far away. Five miles out of the city are all villages." The old eunuch paused, as if recalling something: "Our family still has a field there, which is leased to farmers this year, and it seems that the rent has not been paid yet. Those farmers are also tricky, and they refuse to report the harvest truthfully every year, and they insist on paying off the rent, and they have to pay a fraction of it."

"Maybe there is some difficulty. If it happens again in the future, just wipe away those small and small money."

The old eunuch showed the box of eight treasures of gold and silver for Yuan Junyu to take a closer look, and slowly moved the lamp in his hand: "The prince is generous, but our uncle's mansion has no masters to control it before, so it can't be a shock. Those tenants, really It’s because we’re used to lawlessness, it’s not necessarily because life is difficult.”

"En." Yuan Junyu looked at the carving traces of the gold and silver carcases against the light, and did not express his opinion.

"The old slave thought, should I send someone down, firstly to let those tricky peasants know that there is a master now, and secondly, to liquidate the undercollected silver taels, just as the accountant is calculating the income and expenditure of the past few years , reported to him together, it would be convenient.”

There is not much money to collect a piece of land, so it is not worth the old eunuch's attention.Yuan Junyu put the kelp back into the velvet cloth, wrapped it carefully, closed the lid of the box, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then he seemed to have thought it over, and said: "In this way, you pack up the carriages and horses, and go to the countryside with me. Go and have a look."
