Grandmaster Koi Daily [Red Mansion]

Situ Chen hugged Jia Amnesty and sat beside the bed, quietly listening to the sound of fireworks going off outside.Although neither of them spoke, they felt very happy to feel each other's heartbeat.

However, it didn't take long for Situ Chen's thighs to feel a little numb from Jia Amnesty's sitting, and he had to get up and walk around the room twice to do some exercise.

Then they chatted about the more than 100 catties of sugar roses they sent to the capital a few days ago to cover up their embarrassment.

As early as the second day after submitting the memorial, Situ Chen and Jia She had people rush to send the sugar roses they had collected to the capital.

Now that their memorials have been approved and returned, those sugar roses must have been made into flower cakes long ago, and offered in front of the ancestral tablets in the homes of many courtiers.

"Based on Father's temperament, he will definitely ask the courtiers to make offerings for two or three days when the flower cakes are handed out, and then share the flower cakes with the family as soon as they are removed from the altar table."

How can you know the deliciousness of flower cakes if you don’t hurry up and eat them while they are fresh?

If you still want to eat after eating, then buy it yourself.

If you don't sell them in the capital, you can wait. If you can't wait, send someone to Yunnan to buy raw materials.

"Let them come anyway, we still have a lot of sugar roses here." Jia She couldn't help letting out a sigh after speaking, and sat on the edge of the bed, took off his boots, and prepared to wash his feet and go to bed.

The New Year's Eve dinner has already been eaten, and there are no children around them to reunite with them. Now they are no longer the young men who can stay up all night, and staying up late is not good for their health.

Jia Amnesty felt that it would be better to sleep more to sleep for a meaningless New Year's Eve.

Seeing that Jia Amnesty wanted to sleep, Situ Chen took off his coat and hung it up, sat beside Jia Amnesty and told Liu Yu to wash his feet.

"Xue Qian should be here soon, he can take more than half of the sugar roses with him this trip." Situ Chen asked while soaking his feet, Jia Amnesty counted the days and nodded: "It is reasonable to say that it should be here , it may be that Brother Xue has other things at hand, so he delayed for a while."

In fact, Xue Qian can come as long as he can. In the current situation, one day sooner or later is not that important.

As long as this first trip is started, other subsequent caravans will have reference examples when they come to Yunnan to do business...

"Things are going to be on the right track, we don't have to be so tired in the future." Situ Chen held Jia She's hand, Jia She gave a hum and then said good dreams to Situ Chen.

Liu Yu lowered the bed curtain, extinguished the nearby candles, and sat on a chair beside him to keep watch for Situ Chen.

Situ Chen and Jia She were far away in Yunnan, and no one cared if they fell asleep when they wanted to.However, there are strict rules in the palace, and one must keep the year old.

The prince was lying on the kang bed with a book in his hand, and he read it for a long time without turning a page, but the flower cake in the plate in his hand had been unknowingly eaten two plates.

When the prince reached out to the plate again, he found nothing. He put down a page of the book that he hadn't read, only to find that he ate another plate of flower cakes.

"The flower cake is delicious, but I can't eat it tonight..."

I didn't eat less at the palace banquet tonight, and if I eat like this again, I won't be able to digest it, and it will have a bad effect on my body.

After finishing speaking, the prince asked the eunuch who was serving beside him what time is it now.It was more than half past when he learned about the son, the prince immediately ordered the eldest son to go back to rest, after all he had to go to class as usual tomorrow morning.

After the eldest son gets married, he can no longer study so hard, but go to the court to listen to politics.

"Your Highness wants to eat it and let the small kitchen make it tomorrow. The sugar roses that the fourth brother gave to the East Palace still have more than 20 catties." The princess said after taking a break to serve the prince.

Thinking that the taste of this flower cake is really good, even His Royal Highness, who usually pays attention to his body, couldn't resist eating two dishes.

The princess wanted to ask the prince for some sugar roses to send to her natal family tonight, but she hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything, so she had to ask her natal sister-in-law to take her nephew and niece to the East Palace tomorrow, and bring some ready-made ones when she returned. The flower cake went back to satisfy the gluttony.

The prince saw that the princess seemed to have something on her mind tonight, and after thinking about it carefully, he thought of why the princess was like this.

It's all because of the flower cake...

After all, all civil and military officials in the court are adults, so they don't have that strong appetite for flower cakes, but they can't help but the children in the family like it, and it's not enough to eat a few bites, so they pester the family to buy some more.

But the flower cake was rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor, where can they buy it?

Knowing that the flower cake was presented to His Majesty by Marquis Rong Guo, everyone immediately understood what Jia Amnesty was up to.While scolding Jia She for being shameless, he dared to use His Majesty the Emperor as a signboard.At the same time, he sent his servants to Jia's dim sum shop to see if there were any flower cakes for sale.

If there are any, no matter how many there are, buy them all!

There is more than one family who has such a plan, so Jia's dim sum shop was completely surrounded, and even the store was squeezed out by the servants who came to inquire...

The boss was so scared that he escaped from the backyard over the wall and reported to the official in person.When the government heard that such a thing happened, they immediately slapped the little official to maintain order.

Knowing that there are no flower cakes for sale in Jia's shop, some people gave up.Some people also have a crooked mind.

He thought that Jia She didn't sell flower cakes, so he should save some for his children.

So Rongguo Mansion was caught by snitches.

However, the guards in Rongguo Mansion are not vegetarians, and the snitch was held down by the guards as soon as he climbed over the wall.

After the snitch was caught, he readily confessed his crime. The purpose was very simple, just to taste the taste of sugar roses for making flower cakes.

As for who is behind the scenes, the Snitch refused to say.

Without saying anything, I know that it must be some powerful minister in the court who is shameless for a bite.

In the end, the Snitch was released after being hit with [-] boards, and if the investigation continues, accidents will easily happen...

"Go to sleep. The fourth brother still has a lot of sugar roses for us. The little nephew and niece can take back five or six catties if they like it. I heard that the royal merchant Xue's family has already left for Yunnan to buy them. Wait another month, and the shops in the capital will start selling flower cakes."

Rong Guohou has a bright mind, and now he is burdened with heavy burdens. He will definitely try his best to increase the income of the local people so that the people can live a prosperous and good life.

This flower cake is just one of the local specialties. The prince believes that Jia She will introduce more other things to the capital in the future.

The prince closed his eyes and savored the taste of the flower cake, thinking that his fourth younger brother must have been giving advice behind the scenes, which made Jia She more skillful in using the conspiracy.

In the past, his father usually rewarded ministers with real gold and silver as gifts during the Chinese New Year, and it was often the money that was given upside down.

Now it has been replaced with a seemingly rare flower cake, but in fact it is just a box of snacks after all.Not only saved a lot of money for the father, but also blocked the mouths of many people.

Presumably his third and sixth brothers couldn't sleep well tonight...

The sixth prince patiently finished attending the banquet in the palace, and when he returned home, he asked the "Snitch" to be carried over, and kicked the "Snitch" hard on the knee.When the sixth prince stepped down, the "Snitch"'s calf broke immediately.

"Trash, you were caught just as soon as you climbed over the wall. You have eaten all your food in vain! You are lucky that you didn't confess this prince, and this prince can spare your dog's life today!"

However, the death penalty can be avoided and the living penalty cannot be escaped.

After the Sixth Prince's anger subsided a bit, he had someone pour a decoction that would make the "Snitch" dumb, and threw it into the moat at night.

Even if you don't fall to your death on the ice in the twelfth lunar month, the river water in the ice cave can freeze to death a person with a broken leg. How can this be a life spared?

The brothers who were working together for the sixth prince yesterday, encountered such a catastrophe today, and the two people holding the "snitch" were moved with compassion.

"Brother, we'll bring out all your things for you. Take care of yourself in the future! Leave the capital as soon as you get your legs back. The farther you go, the better..."

"Snitch" could no longer speak, saw a medical clinic next to him, knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily at the two of them.

This is the grace of saving lives, and he will definitely avenge the Sixth Prince in the future!

Different from the furious sixth prince, the sulking third prince locked himself in the study room, smashed everything that could be smashed, and even kicked the desk to the ground.

The ink in the fine Duan inkstone stained the delicate carpet, which made the eunuchs serving in the room tremble.

For fear of being angered by the third prince, they will be the next ones lying on the ground.

In the room, only the chair behind the third prince hadn't been damaged by the third prince's vicious hands, and the third prince, who was tired from being smashed, sat on the chair to rest panting.Seeing the flower cake on the ground at a glance, the anger in the third prince's heart was picked out again, and he kicked the flower cake hard.

Feeling that just stepping on it was not enough to relieve his anger, the third prince rubbed it hard with the sole of his boot twice.

"It's really abominable! I was sent away by two dim sum. With such ambition, what kind of censor is I? Just be a cook!"

Originally, the third prince planned to call his officials from all over the country to apply for silver taels to the Ministry of Households, in order to prevent Situ Chen and Jia She from applying for silver taels to the Ministry of Households.As a result, Situ Chen and Jia Amnesty did not act for a long time, and the third prince felt as if his fist had reached the cotton pile.

auzw.com learned that the flower cake that his father bestowed on the officials was from Jia She, the third prince seemed to have found his target suddenly, and asked his subordinates to tell some of the censors to mercilessly bury Jia She.

This is either Jia Amnesty, who entered the official career through the normal imperial examination, or is uneducated.These flowers should be appreciated carefully, how can they be made into cakes?

What a disgrace!

Those who are well-educated should not join forces with people like Jia She, and should resolutely resist the flower cakes and punish the instigator Jia She!

In the past, when the third and sixth princes targeted Jia She, the emperor would turn a blind eye and wait until Jia She couldn't solve it before taking action.

And every time Jia Amnesty solved it by himself, it was useless for him to make a move.

But this time the emperor didn't intend to turn a blind eye to it again, it was related to how much money could flow into his private treasury in the future.

If you dare to cut off your father's fortune, if you don't wake him up immediately, why don't you go back and look through the almanac to find a better life?

However, to the emperor's surprise, the censor, who was very likely to say "I would rather resign and starve to death than eat flower cakes that are insulting to the gentleman", was subdued by a small flower cake .

In private, they all said that the flower cakes were really delicious, and they even sent young men out to find out where there is a place that sells these flower cakes, but they couldn't get enough of them.

The very backbone Yushi surrendered himself, which saved the emperor from taking action...

The emperor did not forget to stimulate the two restless sons at the New Year's banquet, and gave each prince another box of flower cakes to take back for supper before leaving the palace.

No matter how aggrieved the two sons are, the emperor slept well. The next morning, he asked about the situation of the two sons after they returned to the mansion. Anyway, the smashed things will have to be paid for by themselves. The emperor knows I don't care too much.

"Xue Qian should have almost arrived in Yunnan by this time. It's not easy for his wife to be pregnant again after so many years. Send someone to take care of her carefully so that Xue Qian can also go about his business with ease."

After Feng Kaishun received the emperor's instructions, he immediately arranged for several imperial physicians to rush to Jinling, and tried to pass the news on to Xue Qian by the way.

Xue Qian understood why Jia Amnesty was so anxious to build the road first when he was turning around in the mountains. The winding road was so winding that even they couldn't stand it.Many coachmen secretly shouted that they would never come again, and they would not come if they were given any money.

But these words were whispered behind his back.Jia Amnesty paid ten times as much money to these coachmen. These people didn't want to go, and some people rushed to go.

To be a master is to endure hardships, and Xue Qian believes in this saying.Although they had traveled very hard this trip, when they transported the sugar roses back to the south of the Yangtze River and back to the capital, all the altars would be filled with silver!

Xue Qian knew that Jia Amnesty still had a back hand, and he planned to launch the steamer when His Majesty the Emperor lived long.When he quietly transported the hundreds of steam pots back to the south of the Yangtze River, they will be pushed to the market immediately after His Majesty's longevity.

In the period when there were no competitors, he sold a steam pot for ten taels of silver, and no one said much.

After all, this is the same type of steam pot as the emperor, how can it be too much to sell it for ten taels of silver?

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xue Qian finally arrived in Kunming.The first thing he did when he came to Kunming was to lie down on the bed and sleep for a while, and then he woke up to attend the dust-cleaning banquet set up by Jia She.

"This mountain road is really difficult to walk, no wonder the governor wants to blow up the mountain to build the road." Xue Qian picked up a piece of ham and observed it first, and then began to taste it carefully. "This ham is indeed more fragrant, and it will definitely sell well when the road is repaired."

There are many rich and wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, so there is really no need to worry about sales.

After the meal, Jia Amnesty took Xue Qian to visit the warehouses where local specialties were placed.These are things that Jia She felt could be sold as commodities. Xue Qian opened his eyes wide when he saw so many things on the shelves, not wanting to miss anything.

"Hey, the mountain road is not easy to walk, otherwise I really want to take some back to try." Although Xue Qian felt a little regretful, he said helplessly.

The mountain roads are dangerous, and some places can only accommodate a carriage to pass slowly. If the goods are extremely full, it is very likely that the car will overturn when turning.It is more important to save lives than car crashes.

If life is gone, the money earned will be spent on others.

Jia Amnesty patted Xue Qian on the shoulder and told him that he didn't have to go back to the mountains.Now a road from Kunming to the frontier has been built, and it is possible to return to Jinling by water from the frontier.

Although Yunnan is not close to the sea, it can reach the sea safely with the escort of the soldiers of Nan'an County King. It is much faster to take a boat by water than to go around in the mountains.

Moreover, the things they bring are not important documents of the government, and they will not be labeled as traitors and collaborators.

Xue Qian couldn't believe that there was such a convenient road, and it was escorted by the imperial army.After thinking for a while, Xue Qian asked Jia Amnesty if the fee was not cheap.

"There is no charge for walking on the newly built road. When the section of Annan Kingdom needs the protection of the Nan'an County King's officers and soldiers, a little hard money will be charged. Not much, one or two horse-drawn carriages and ten taels of silver. The money for renting a boat is about It’s cheap, a big boat is only 15 taels. It can hold three carriages.”

The protection fee was nothing compared to the money he earned, and now Xue Qian began to regret that the carriage he brought was a little less.

"If I had known this shortcut earlier, I would have brought seven or eight more carriages."

"Brother Xue's family is the only caravan that dares to come to Yunnan. This is the first trip, and there is still a long way to go."

Jia Amnesty was teaching Xue Qian when he saw a small official rushing in with a booklet.Jia Amnesty was about to get up to pick it up, but unexpectedly the little official handed it over to Xue Qian.

"Hey, it turned out to be a brochure for Big Brother Xue..."

Xue Qian didn't expect that he could still receive the notebook here, so he hurriedly opened it to read it.Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor sent two more imperial physicians to help his wife conceive, Xue Qian felt more at ease.

"When I was about to leave, my wife was very sick. I couldn't eat the canned yellow peaches that I loved most before. I was delayed on this matter for a few days. Your Majesty is kind and sent two more after I left. The Imperial Physician went to Jinling."

Upon hearing that Xue Qian's wife was pregnant again, Jia She was stunned for a moment.

Counting the time, there is an eight or nine out of ten chance that this fetus will be Xue Baochai.If Xue Baochai was born this year, wouldn't that mean that the phoenix egg Jia Baoyu, the second bedroom of the Jia family, will come next year?It's just that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are having such a fight now, can Jia Baoyu still be born by Mrs. Wang?

If another woman gave birth to Jia Baoyu, would he be able to give birth to another jade?

"Then Jia Wang didn't care about Xue's borrowing money anymore..." Jia Amnesty suddenly asked a question that was almost impossible to answer, which made Xue Qian stunned: "That's not true, she is in Qiongzhou now. There is no place where money is needed."

Jia Amnesty nodded, and brought the topic back to Xue Wang's birth.Even though Jia Amnesty was sure that this birth was a daughter, he still wished Xue Qian would have Lin'er again.

Xue Qian shook his head, it was enough for him to have a son like Xue Pan.It's best for his wife to give birth to a daughter, so that he can be considered as having both sons and daughters.If it's really a son, it's better to be as steady as Jia Hu.

Hearing Xue Qian's off-screen voice, Jia Amnesty hurriedly asked if Jia Lian in the south of the Yangtze River was doing something wrong again?

"Hey, what should I say? It's not a moth, it's just a few kids getting together and messing around. There were four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River before, and these young ones formed the four young talents in the south of the Yangtze River, which made Lin Ruhai laugh. For a long time."

The four young talents in the south of the Yangtze River are indeed nonsense.But Jia Amnesty figured it out, Xue Pan, Lin Ziyu, and Jia Lian were only three people. Where did the fourth youngest talent come from?

Xue Qian smiled helplessly, and told Jia She that the fourth young Jiangnan talent was Jia Hu who was pulled in to make up the numbers...

Jia Amnesty felt that these three children were just under the influence of Tong Yan Wuji.Otherwise, the students in Jiangnan don't care if your father is the censor of Yanyan, even if your father is His Majesty the Emperor, they must first write an article to bury you for being overwhelmed, and dare to give yourself such a name.

"The children are still young, let them enjoy themselves."

Seeing that Xue Qian was a bit tired after finishing his speech, Jia Amnesty said to have a good rest and went to talk to Situ Chen about the situation here.

As the prince and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Situ Chen's status is far higher than that of Xue Qian, and secondly, Jia Amnesty is almost in charge of business affairs, so even if he goes, he won't be able to talk to him.

So Situ Chen played with mud and made a steam boiler to pass the time.

It's just that Situ Chen didn't succeed, and two pieces of mud embryos were broken in succession.Seeing Jia She came in, he stopped playing, washed his hands and took Jia She to see the two steam pots made by the craftsman and the carving of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea that he would give to his father as a birthday present in a few days.

Jia Amnesty couldn't help being amazed when he saw the steam boiler that Situ Chen planned to give to His Majesty the Emperor.

His original idea was to let craftsmen paste some jade flakes in the pot.Unexpectedly, the craftsman was ingenious and polished each piece of jade into a curved shape.Each piece of jade is similar in color, and when put together tightly, it looks like a natural steam pot.

This is low-key revealing luxury, who would have thought that the inside would be made of jade without opening the lid?

"Your Majesty will definitely like it after receiving it." Jia She said with certainty.

Situ Chen was not worried about this at all, but worried about another thing.

"I saw that Xue Qian brought twelve carriages this time, and it seems that [-] steam pots can't fit..." Before there were imitation steam pots on the market, they could make more money by selling one more steam pot a share of money. "If we help Xue Qian hire some carriages to transport the goods, Enhou thinks this idea is feasible?"

Situ Chen's idea was really good, Jia She soon had a rough plan in his mind.

Now it is definitely too late to hire a few more similar carriages. It is better to discuss with the king of Nan'an County. Instead of locking his army horses in the stables, it is better to pull them out to help.And they are not doing things in vain, and there is no doubt about how much they should pay at that time.

Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor gave him the right to act according to circumstances. If he clearly said no, he would just not do it next time.

"Let's raise a few convoys first. In addition to pulling goods, they can also take passengers..." When tourists come to Yunnan, they will not be able to travel on two legs.

"It's better for Enhou to write a self-defense book first..."

When these things spread to the capital, the court might want to "fry the pot".
