The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and said: "I only found out today that the eldest young master and the second young master had withdrawn a sum of money from the tea house a few days ago to purchase high-end famous tea."
"What high-end famous tea? We have our own tea garden, what kind of famous tea should we buy?" The old man was furious.
The housekeeper said: "I heard that a new kind of tea came out in Xiangping, called Lingzhen tea. The tea has a fragrant taste and a rich tea soup. In March, a batch was presented to the court as tribute. Nowadays, dignitaries are in love with this kind of tea.
Tea. Master, haven't you heard of this tea before? Moreover, you have also thought about purchasing it."
"It's Lingzhen tea. I really wanted to buy it before, but they kept raising the price. I'm still considering it." The old man calmed down and asked, "At what price do they buy it?"
"Two taels of silver per catty," the steward said.
When the old man heard this, he was so angry that his veins popped out and he was furious, "What? Two taels?"
The steward said: "That's what it says on the books."
The old man said angrily: "When I was negotiating with Shopkeeper Chen, one tael of silver was too expensive for me. Two taels of silver was simply ridiculous!"
"The eldest young master and the second young master probably don't know this." The housekeeper was stunned for a moment and said.
The old man snorted, "If you don't know clearly, don't make random decisions. Who asked them to purchase the goods? Besides, even if they purchase the goods for two taels of silver, it won't cost millions of taels?"
"Weren't you sick a few days ago? Then the manager of the tea house knew that you had negotiated about this tea before, and thought it was authorized by you, so he wrote the terms and paid the deposit. Furthermore, the young master bought several mountains
, intends to use it to grow tea." The housekeeper reported again.
The old man said angrily: "I am sick, not dead. Why do they need so much silver to buy a mountain? Gold Mountain can buy millions of taels."
"It's from the Dongshan area. I only found out today. The eldest young master said it was all the master's idea." When the housekeeper found out about this today, he also guessed that the master would be angry because bandits were entrenched on the top of the Dongshan area. Even if he could
To make money from growing tea, you have to split it at least 50-50 with the bandits. All in all, it is a loss-making business.
The old man was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he sighed and said, "It seems that our Liu family is going to perish step by step."
Long Yinle taught her husband a lesson. Because he could not answer the questions raised by Long Yinle, he felt anxious. He went back and searched the book frantically, but he could not find the two poems she mentioned. Because of his fear, he was also worried about his longevity.
He stopped teaching him poems and songs and started to teach him how to read again. In fact, before the exam that day, what he asked Shoutou to read was just some salivating poems. He only taught him to read them twice, and Shouto read them all.
Remember it, and go back and read it with the paper in hand, but he doesn't know a single word on the paper.
Long Yinle went to class with Shou Tou for a few more days to make sure no one dared to bully him, so she didn't go to class with him.
There were originally two maids and two boys here in Yingxiang Garden. Later, Xiaolian's incident happened, and only Xiaoxiang was left. The rest left. Yingxiang Garden was not full of people, so the housekeeper brought them in today.
Two maids came to Yingxiang Garden.
"Grandma Sun, these two people are here to serve you." The housekeeper said respectfully, then turned back to the two maids and said, "Come forward and see Grandma Sun."
Long Yinle sat on the railing with a pot of wine. He looked up and saw two maids. He couldn't help but be startled. They were Hongyan and Mo Yan, her maids from Yufeng Sect.
"I've met Mrs. Sun." They both stepped forward and saluted.
Long Yinle said expressionlessly: "Yeah."
The housekeeper said: "You two will serve Master Sun and Mrs. Sun well, you know?"
"Yes, housekeeper!" The two of them responded obediently. Long Yinle raised his eyebrows. The two of them had always been known as cold-faced beauties in the church. Even when they were facing her, they had never been so respectful. Now they saw the two of them. The respectful look is really funny.
After the housekeeper left, Long Yinle glanced at the two of them and said, "Why are you here?"
The red face looked a little guilty, "It's all my subordinates' fault. I didn't investigate clearly before I came back to report to the master." When she found Liu Ye, he was getting married on the same day, so she didn't have time to investigate, so she hurried back to report. It was a strange combination of circumstances. , only to implicate the master in marrying the wrong person.
"It doesn't matter, I have found him." Long Yin said happily. She raised her head and took a sip. The wine was sweet but not intoxicating.
Both of them were surprised, "Found it? Where?"
"Prince Regent's Mansion!" Long Yinle lightly opened his red lips, "He is the Prince Regent."
Mo Yan asked in confusion: "Why is he the regent? Didn't the master say that his identity is the devil? When did he become the regent?"
Long Yinle's eyes flashed and he said: "You two go immediately to investigate the background of this regent. I want to know exactly how many times he goes to the toilet a day."
"Yes!" The two of them said with serious expressions.
"How is Yufeng Sect doing now?" Long Yinle asked again.
"It's very good. It's operating normally. We have opened up a few more sites. The land transportation in the south and north of the Yangtze River is basically our territory. It can compete with the water transportation. The most important thing is that our price is cheaper than the water transportation. Also, we have received several assassination missions, and the price is more than 100,000 taels." Hongyan replied.
"Who was the assassin?" Long Yinle asked.
"One is the current Prime Minister Wang Zhenxi, the other is Xiangping Tea Garden Chen Yuanping, and the other is the current emperor." Mo Yan replied.
"Who are you today?" Long Yinle was surprised, "Who is the client?"
"I don't know." Hongyan said.
"Stop assassinating the emperor." Long Yinle said coldly, "Are the people who killed the prime minister and the emperor the same group of people?"
"No, different clients. The person who killed Prime Minister Wang Zhenxi was someone from the Regent's Palace." Mo Yan replied.
"Give you three days, I will find out the client behind the scenes, order people to thoroughly investigate the prime minister's background, and closely monitor the regent's palace." Long Yinle said sternly.
"Yes, Master!" The two responded, and flew out as fast as lightning.
Long Yinle began to feel that a shocking conspiracy was brewing.
