"Mr. Han has just recovered from a serious illness and the new store has opened. It can be described as double happiness. Congratulations!" Just after opening the door for business, the chief manager of the Prince's Mansion suddenly came and said to Tong Jiu, "After all, you are still a young man. This disease comes and goes quickly. Also fast."

"Hey, don't mention it. This serious illness really made me go through the gate of hell a few times." Tong Jiu cupped his hands, and the two saluted each other, leading the chief executive into the living room.

Bian Xuan was joking, and said, "But when we got there, Lord Yan looked through the book of life and death. He said, hey... this person still owes the prince a thousand years of errands, go, go, no Take it or not. That's it, thanks to the lord's blessing, I was released."

"Hahaha——." The butler laughed loudly after hearing this, and the two sat down as guests and hosts, and the young man served tea.

"My lord, how are you doing recently?" Tong Jiu sighed, "I was unable to move around before, and I couldn't go over to say hello to the old man."

"Master Han, I am here because the lord wants to invite you to visit the mansion." The chief manager looked deeply at Tong Jiu, and said hesitantly, "The lord's mood is not very smooth recently. So. .....how to answer the prince after a while, my lord has to figure it out in his heart before he leaves."

Prince Jian is not in a good mood?Tong Jiu raised her eyebrows alertly, why?Could it be because he has been out of the customs for a long time, no, some time ago he even sent someone to let him recover from his illness with peace of mind.There must be other things that the chief executive said clearly, but what is it?

"Master Han, let's go." After a cup of tea, the chief manager stood up, seeing Tong Jiu's worried expression, and said in relief, "My lord, you don't have to worry too much, you just need to remember that you are the prince's man. "

"Of course I belong to the prince." Tong Jiu distinguished.

When the two walked to the porch, the chief executive came over and lowered his voice, saying, "So, everything my lord does is for the sake of the prince and the palace."

Tong Jiu wanted to say something again, but was stopped by the chief manager, and opened the distance between Tong Jiu and said loudly, "Master Han, please, don't make the prince wait."

So, Tong Jiu sat in the sedan chair of the palace and followed the chief manager to the palace of the prince.

It was still in Prince Xie’s study, and Prince Xie was writing something in front of the case. Seeing Tong Jiu come in, he asked, “Are you all cured?” Although the voice could not be heard to be happy or angry, it was indeed not very good on the surface. Happy.

"Thanks to the lord, everything is healed." Tong Jiu knelt on the ground and replied.

"That's good." Prince Jian put down the writing brush in his hand, opened the drawer under the table, took out something from it, and threw it in front of Tong Jiu with a "boom", and said, "Then let's talk about it, you Han Luqi recently Did something good."

Tong Jiu looked at the piece of official silver thrown by Prince Jian on the carpet in front of him, his thoughts were spinning rapidly, and he said inexplicably, "The grass people are stupid, and I hope the prince will show it clearly."

Prince Jian pulled up a chair and put it in front of the table, and sat down slowly with his legs crossed, as if he wanted to settle accounts after the fall and have a good discussion. He said in a deep voice, "Look at this piece of official silver, do you recognize it?"

"Of course I recognize—" Tong Jiu held the piece of silver, carefully looked at the special name on it, and replied, "This is the official silver that the prince asked the grass-roots to buy arms."

Prince Jian nodded, and said displeasedly, "Han Luqi, you privately used military expenses for your own goods sales, are you guilty?"

Even if I have eight heads, I don't dare to use military expenses privately.After Tong Jiu was surprised, she raised her head to look at Prince Jian, and then at the chief executive who stood behind him like an old monk in meditation, and suddenly remembered the conversation between the two when they were about to leave the house.

He kowtowed and said, "My lord, don't be angry. Before the grassroots sent people south to sell goods, they used some official money from the Curry..."

"So, the millions of taels of silver that your Han family bought before is really my king's military expenditure?" Prince Jian interrupted her angrily, pointed at Tong Jiu's nose, and scolded, "Han Luqi, hello Be bold!"

"Your Majesty let Caomin be careful, even if Caomin is extremely courageous, Caomin would not dare to spend millions of taels of military expenditure on Caomin's own business!" Tong Jiu begged for forgiveness.

He said with a sigh of grievance, "My lord, you must have heard that Caomin lost 100 million taels of silver on the canal. But the 100 million taels are indeed the real gold and silver of Caomin's own silver. If you don't believe me, my lord, you can send someone to Huizhengsheng to investigate now, your military expenses are all on the silver shelf."

"Then what's the explanation for this?" Prince Xie took the tea handed over by the Chief Manager, pointed at the piece of official silver with his chin, and said, "Don't say it didn't flow out of your Huizheng."

"Returning to the lord, Caomin did use thousands of taels of official money to show up, but this is also for these goods to arrive in Beijing as soon as possible." Tong Jiu said in a dilemma, "Now that things have happened, Caomin dare not Conceal something again. The batch of goods sold by the Han family is just to prepare for the passage of guns and guns when they go out of customs in the future."

"Oh? So, you transported this batch of goods because you are doing something for this prince?" Prince Jian calmly drank his tea and said, "Get up and answer."

"Hey." Tong Jiu responded as if she had been pardoned, patted her numb leg, and stood up awkwardly from the ground.

Standing on the side with his head bowed, he said, "Caomin knows very well that this trip is for our Qing Dynasty and for the prince, so he absolutely dare not let the court and the prince lose their reputation. That's why they bought those rare treasures at every turn. A rare treasure, for future use."

As he spoke, he looked up at Prince Xie's face, and said, "The grass people knew their weight well, so they didn't dare to take the canal rashly. But time is running out, and the water road is faster than the dry road. The grass people thought that the prince was on the canal. It is more or less convenient for the government to go to the government bank. I never thought that when I arrived in Shandong... alas."

"Huh?" After listening to Tong Jiu's words, Prince Jian asked, "Didn't your family's goods be robbed by Hongmen's rebellious party? Why did they go to Shandong's government instead?"

"Your Majesty, Hongmen is a rebellious party against the imperial court. Women and children know it. The men on our ship resisted because of self-protection. But the Shandong government seized the goods and arrested people on the grounds that our Han family disturbed the order of the river. " Tong Jiu waved his hand and said, "Caomin still thinks that Caomin is doing things for the prince, so he will suffer all these losses."

He said holding the ingot of official silver with both hands, and placed it neatly on the desk, saying, "But Caomin really didn't expect that those people with ulterior motives would be so relentless. While refusing to give the prince any face, On the one hand, they came to report the grassroots to the prince. They are too arrogant."

"Okay, the king didn't come here to listen to your parents' short stories." Prince Jian stroked his beard, stood up, took out a gift list from the desk case, and patted it in Tong Jiu's hand.

After a long time, Fang said, "After the national funeral in March, my king's Namugege will marry far away to Horqin. This is part of the dowry details that will be purchased in the south, and I will leave it to you to handle."

After hearing this, Tong Jiu looked at the gift list in surprise, and made a dowry for Gege. This time, he brought a few shipments back together by himself, and no one dared to stop him, right?But thinking that Namugege was going to marry far away, he couldn't feel happy about it.

"Han Luqi, at the big funeral in the palace a few days ago, this king met your wife, she is indeed not an ordinary woman." Prince Jian said something for no reason.

Tong Jiu smiled modestly, not knowing what to say for a while, Prince Jian waved his hand and said, "Okay, kneel down."

After Tong Jiu withdrew, Prince Jian played with the official bank on the case, and said to the chief executive, "In your opinion, who should the king trust?"

"Master, this slave can't say well." The head manager apologized with a smile.

"This servant only knows that Prince Yi's Mansion is a clan relative. But if you look at it from Fucha's house, Mr. Han is also one of his own." The head steward pondered for a while, and said, "This servant is bold enough to look at you without respecting your relatives." Because of the matter of Master Yongxi Belle, the Yiwang Mansion has been relentless towards the Han family, which is somewhat out of place, but it is also human nature."

"This king doesn't see this matter that way." Prince Jian put down the silver ingots he was playing with, and said contemptuously, "The people of King Ningjun, I didn't say that about them, what can they do? And that Yongxi, with Han Luqi is about the same age, right?"

"Yes, my lord, you are cherishing your talents." The head manager smiled.

"This Han Luqi is different from them. He can accomplish great things for me and for the court that we want to do but can't do. Who can?" Prince Xie said, "The most important thing is, don't worry about this man, Long Live Lord."

Besides, Tong Jiu returned to the mansion after a false alarm, looking at the details of Namugege's dowry, feeling worried.From the beginning of Dazhengchang, the active money I had saved on hand, plus the bonus from Huizhengsheng, was only a million taels, and it was all tossed in before.

This time going south to buy goods, it is sure that it is safe in terms of safety, but what should I use to buy it?No money.Thinking of this, Tong Jiu turned over annoyed on the couch.

Ji Lan is not short of money, but before the two got married, I borrowed the 50 taels from her and didn't pay back one tael. The shop in Dazhengchang in the capital was paid by Ji Lan, so I can't open this mouth again. .

Tong Jiu was carried away by Prince Jian's sedan chair, and Da Zhengchang's shopkeeper sent a servant to tell Ji Lan.Ji Lan went back to the Han Mansion to wait for her at noon.

But when Tong Jiu came back, she plunged into the study with a sad face, and no one told her that Ji Lan was back.

When Ji Lan walked into the study quietly, he saw that the man was knocking his legs on the couch, with his hands resting on the back of his head, his face was covered with a red sheet, and he was sighing.

Ji Lan walked to the couch, leaned over and looked at her carefully.

Tong Jiu first sniffed with his nose, then raised the corners of his mouth, and took off the gift list on his face, it turned out that the person who had been thinking about it day and night had returned.He happily reached out to Razilan, moved in and asked softly, "When did you come back?"

"Noon." Ji Lan stroked his hem and sat down on the side of the couch, looked at Tong Jiu, and asked, "What are you worried about?"

"It's nothing. Namugege is getting married. This is a new errand from Prince Jian's Mansion." Tong Jiu shook the gift list in his hand, pouted, and interrupted, "You have been away for a few days, this family It doesn't feel like home anymore."

Ji Lan took the gift list in her hand and put it aside, while leaning on Tong Jiu's body, stroking her face, she said, "I still remember when I went to Liulichang last time, I was on the horse. What did you say?"

Tong Jiu looked straight at Ji Lan who was getting closer, and shook his head.

Ji Lan was not annoyed either, and said dotingly but bewitchingly, "I'm willing to spend any amount for you." After finishing speaking, she lightly pecked Tong Jiu's forehead, looked into Tong Jiu's eyes, and said, "Do you have any thoughts?" I?"

Tong Jiu reached out to embrace the person in front of him, and kissed that beautiful lips.The deep affection and enthusiasm of you coming and going, all tell the pain of lovesickness that the two of them have been carrying in their hearts for the past few days, and they can't get rid of it no matter what.
