"Fifth Master, Master, hello girls!" Mu Rentong returned the ball to Shou Tou and stepped forward to greet them one by one.
Yin Le wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile: "Are you here?" She turned around and said to Shou Tou: "You guys play first, I have something to say with General Accountant Mu, Xiaoxiang, make a pot of incense tablets.
"
"Yes, Fifth Grandma!" Xiaoxiang responded, snatching the ball from Shou Tou vigorously, and then kicked it against the wall. Watching the ball spinning on the ground, she went to work with satisfaction.
Shoutou was a little depressed. Even Xiaoxiang could play better than him, but he was like a girl, weak and weak.
Yin Le sat on a chair and asked Mu Rentong, "Have all the things at home been settled?" She knew when Mu Rentong entered the house. She heard that he went to the old man's place, and the old man must have given him instructions, so she
I won’t be wordy, I just asked a casual question.
"Everything has been taken care of. Rentong is here today to thank his employer for saving his wife's life!" Mu Rentong said, and was about to kneel down to thank Yin Le for saving his life, but was supported by Yin Le, who said: "Okay.
No mother-in-law. Is work going well?"
"There are basically no problems with the accounts, and the business is good. However, because I received the letter from my boss, I came back without finishing some things. I also ask my boss to forgive me." Tong Mu said.
Yin Le snorted and said: "Leave those trivial matters to the people below. You are the general accountant now, and all the accounting offices of Longxing's properties are your subordinates. There are some things that you can let go of, otherwise
I will not compensate you for exhausting yourself."
Mu Rentong responded, "I know." Then he thought for a moment and said: "This time I checked the accounts and found something very strange. Chen Pingyuan of Xiangping collected a lot of tea in Huainan.
, not only that, he also opened a rice store, built a grain store, and bought rice on a large scale."
"Chen Xiangping has his own tea garden, and he only sells tea produced in his tea garden. Why does he buy tea on a large scale? Moreover, he is an outsider in the rice and grain business. He is doing so much building a granary and even buying rice on a large scale. Is this a business or a hoarding?
Or does it have some other purpose?" Yin Le also felt strange. She knew that Chen Xiangping had close contacts with the current emperor Chu Kun, so Chen Xiangping's every move was likely to be linked to Chu Kun.
"I also found it strange and secretly noticed that although he opened a grain store, he didn't care about doing business. It seemed that he only wanted to hoard."
"Well, I will order someone to investigate this matter. As long as what he does does not harm our Longxing, we don't have to worry about him." Although Yin Le said this, he was a little wary in his heart. There is now a drought in Huainan.
The grain harvest in the golden autumn was lost, so the large-scale hoarding of grain and the purchase of tea were probably to use the tea as huge profits to make money, while the grain would have other uses. Suddenly needing such a large amount of funds and grain would
Could it be related to Chu Kun's previous proposal to go to North Korea?
If he only went to conquer North Korea, he could use the money from the national treasury. There is no need to carry out such activities among the people, unless he has other intentions.
After sending Mu Rentong away, Yin Le called for the beauty and said, "Last time I ordered you to investigate Chen Xiangping's second shopkeeper, did you get any results?"
Hongyan said: "The order has been issued. I believe there will be news soon."
"Well, you should immediately order someone to investigate Chen Xiangping's intention to purchase tea and grain. Remember the location of his granary and report back to me."
"Yes, I'll go right away!" Hongyan hurried back to the room to retrieve her cloak and quickly went out.
Yin Le thought about it and felt a little uneasy. He wanted to go to the Regent's Palace. He had to inform Chu Ye of this matter as soon as possible so that he could be on guard.
She called Mo Yan, and Liu Ye also wanted to go out with her. Yin Le thought that it would be inappropriate to visit Chu Ye rashly like this. Chu Ye happened to visit Sho Tou that day. Now that Sho Tou's injury has healed, she and Sho Tou
Bringing some gifts to say thank you to Chu Ye will make things more legitimate.
So, she said to Shou Tou: "You change your clothes and I will take you there with me. The prince came to see you that day. You have to thank me for caring about you."
"Okay, I will bring some fragrant tablets to Brother Leng by the way. I heard that a concubine came to the prince's residence, so I will also send them to the concubine." Shoutou went out happily.
Yin Le also heard about this. She had not met the concubine yet, but Xing'er came to see her once and told her that the concubine had deliberately made trouble and asked her to avoid contact with the concubine as much as possible.
Yin Le kept this matter in mind. But since he came to visit and knew that the concubine lived in the palace, it would be unreasonable not to go to see him. After thinking about it, he ordered someone to prepare a generous gift. He should pay homage first and then attack. If the concubine still
If she wants to make things difficult, there is no need for her to put her hot face on someone else's cold ass.
Before arriving at the Regent's Palace, Yin Le first submitted a message to the concierge. The concierge recognized Yin Le and said with a smile: "Fifth Grandma, please wait a moment. I will report to the prince immediately."
"Thank you!" Yin Le said politely.
The concierge saluted and walked away. After a while, the concierge came out again and said, "Your Majesty has invited me."
Yin Le and Shou Tou walked in front, Mo Yan followed behind, Xiao Jiu, Xiao Xiang and a few other boys followed in holding gifts.
Chu Ye was waiting in the main hall, and for the first time he saw Murong Shang, who had been depressed since Ye Rong left. When Xing'er heard that Yin Le was coming, she also walked over from the corridor. Xing'er was dressed very nicely today.
She wears a pink outer dress, which makes her skin white and rosy. She wears a simple pony bun with a jade hairpin inserted at an angle. This outfit is exactly the same as when she was the Queen Mother of Dayan, except that the clothes are slightly a bit out of place.
A bit more coquettish.
"Sister Xing'er!" Shoutou shouted first.
Xing'er smiled and said, "Well, I heard that you were injured, but are you fully recovered?"
Shoutou stood up and replied honestly, "Everything is fine. I am healthy now."
"Really? That's good." Xing'er smiled and turned to look at Yin Le, "Is he really okay?"
Yin Le said: "Xiaohai said he was fine, but he had forgotten how he was injured."
"It's not a bad thing. Let's go in!" Xing'er took Shoutou's hand and took the lead into the house.
Murong Shang was sitting on the Grand Master's chair. After what happened with Ye Rong, he could be said to have lost all his youthful aura. Now there was a bit of sadness in his brows and a bit more steady. He saw the two of them muttering outside the door for a while.
, then joked: "How can two women have so much to talk about?"
Xing'er smiled and said, "Don't you two men always get together to talk about things? If you can talk about it, of course we can talk about it too."
"What we are talking about is serious business." Murong Shang said.
Xing'er also smiled and said: "Everything is business, it just depends on how you define the distinction."
Chu Ye was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, looking intently at Yin Le who had just walked in. She was wearing a pure white silk dress today, with lilies embroidered on the skirt with soft threads.
The embroidery work is exquisite, the cuffs are slightly rolled up, and they are fixed in an arc with gold thread, which looks a bit unique. Her long hair is tied up, and there are not many pearls on her head. She only has a white jade hairpin inserted at the end of the hairpin.
It looks like a lotus flower, delicate and elegant, and matches her clothes very well today.
