Chapter 166 Imperial Envoy (1)

The autumn rain is pattering underground, falling on the eaves, forming a series of water curtains, adding a unique scenery.

Standing at the door, Yuxi looked at the rain outside and said, "This rain came in a timely manner." After this rain, the wheat can be sown. If the weather is good next year, it will be a bumper harvest year for her.

Mother Qu said: "Madam, will there be any problems if you buy so much land at once?" Mother Qu only found out after Yuxi sent Han Dong and other stewards to arrange farming, and Yuxi actually bought it. More than 20,000 acres of land. Including the more than 3,000 acres purchased before, my wife has nearly 30,000 acres of land alone, which is an astonishing amount. The property of those rich and powerful families in the capital is probably only this amount. And the land of these rich and powerful families is definitely not all piled up like the wife.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Don't worry, there will be no problem." She is also aware of the problems that everyone is worried about, but if you don't take this opportunity to get these lands, if you want to buy such a good land again, unless *** fucked up. So even though she would be criticized, she still decided to buy these properties. As long as Yunqing's position is stable, her properties will be secure.

Mother Qu couldn't be at ease, but seeing Yuxi's calm look, she knew that what she said was useless, so she stopped talking.

Yuxi turned her head and ordered the maid to call Master Man and Master Yu over, and asked the two of them, "I want you to go to Xinping City, would you like it?" Although the Fuji Restaurant in Yucheng makes money, it is relatively profitable Not high. In the past, Yuxi gave up because she was not familiar with Xinping City, and because the Xu family didn't deal with them and was afraid that Xu's family would make trouble by opening a restaurant in Xinping City. Now there is no such worry, so naturally I can't let the money go.

Master Man said: "Listen to Madam's orders." Of course it is good to go to Xinping City, Xinping City is much safer than Yucheng. The battle at the beginning of the year frightened him.

Master Yu said: "Madam, I want to stay in Yucheng. Otherwise, Master Man and I will leave, and Fuji Restaurant will have no chef." Master Man and Master Yu are the chefs of the restaurant, but the two They have different temperaments, so they don't quite get along well. Therefore, although Xinping City had better conditions than Yucheng, he didn't want to go to Xinping City. Furthermore, he did it to repay his kindness, not to make money, so he preferred to stay in Yucheng.

Yuxi nodded and said: "Master Man, you will go to Xinping City in half a month. During this time, take care of your apprentices." Around the two masters, there are apprentices studying with them. But there is an old saying that goes well, teach the apprentice, starve the master to death. Yuxi also doesn't expect Master Man to teach his unique skills to his apprentices, but at least he has to be able to support the scene.

Master Man readily agreed.

Not long after the two masters left, they heard Zhao Huan begging to see him. Yuxi was a little puzzled, what Zhao Huan came to ask her for at this time: "Let him wait in the side hall."

When she knew that Zhao Huan was here to give money, Yuxi smiled and said, "Isn't the dividend at the end of the year? Why are you sending it here now?" I don't know what the Zhao family means.

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "My father heard that Qingfengtang will start classes soon, and he was afraid that Madam didn't have enough money, so he asked me to send the money first."

Yuxi is not a fool, how could she believe this. I'm afraid that knowing that I bought the Xu family's land and shop, I was worried that I didn't have enough money, so I sent the money. I have to say that the people of the Zhao family have good looks, and this alone makes people feel good about them. But at this time, she was really short of money, so she didn't shirk it, and said, "Uncle Zhao has a heart. I am really short of money recently, so I will not be disrespectful."

After hearing this, Zijin stepped forward to take the envelope from Zhao Huan and handed it to Yuxi. Yuxi didn't look at it either, but just casually put it on the table next to her, and said, "Is the Zhao family's business doing well recently?" The Zhao family has a lot of business in Xinping City,

There are pharmacies, medical centers, and other shops.

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Thanks to the General and Madam, the business is very good." After a pause, Zhao Huan said, "Madam, we want to open a silk shop in Yucheng. I wonder if Madam is interested in taking a stake?"

Yuxi shook her head and said, "No need." In Yucheng, except for the official wife, no one else is willing to buy silk and satin. The silk shop does not make money, so there is no need to buy shares. Of course, even if she makes money, she won't buy shares. If a small business also wants to invest in shares, it will fall.

Shi Liu walked in from the outside and said to Yuxi: "Madam, the housekeeper is waiting outside, and said that there is something important to report to Madam."

Yuxi nodded, and hurriedly said: "Let the chief steward come in." If Han Ji can say something important, there is a good chance that it is the news from the capital. Then Zhao will take his leave and go back." He went out and greeted Han Ji outside.

Han Ji walked into the room, presented a letter with both hands, and said, "Ma'am, this is an urgent letter sent by the Duke." Han Jianming's letters were all marked. Ordinary and urgent, Han Ji can tell at a glance.

Yuxi hurriedly accepted the letter, opened it, her complexion sank, and said: "Immediately send someone to invite the general back, and just say that I have something to look for him." It was beyond Yuxi's expectation.

Zijin also got the news, and when she entered the inner courtyard, she saw Yu Xi's face was heavy, and she hurriedly asked, "Ma'am, what's wrong with the capital?" Fights come and go, and the common people don't care if they can't live happily.

Yuxi talked about the prince's appointment as an imperial envoy: "This time the imperial envoy is definitely not only for the Xu family's affairs, it is out of ten that it is aimed at our husband and wife." Fortunately, I got the news in advance and could make preparations . Otherwise, if you are caught off guard, you will definitely be caught.

Zijin snorted coldly, and said, "The imperial envoys will come as soon as they come. If they dare to do something wrong, let them come and go."

Yuxi shook her head and said: "Now we can't tear ourselves apart with the imperial court. This time the imperial envoy comes [UU READING 00kxs] and we have to deal with it well." I don't care if the imperial envoy comes or not, but what Yuxi is worried about is that the Song family will take the opportunity to make trouble , so, have to do a good job of countermeasures.

Zi Jin felt aggrieved and said, "Ma'am, when will we no longer have to live this life of aggrieved life?" Before the wife had been enduring in the Duke's Mansion before she got married, she still had to endure it now. I have been enduring it all the time, and I don't know when such a day will end.

Yuxi raised her head, looked at the misty area outside the window, and said softly: "Five years at most, and after five years, there will be no need to look at people's eyes."

Zijin looked puzzled, and asked: "Madam, why don't you need to look at people's faces after five years? Madam, is there something special here?" Madam no longer has to live a miserable life, she is naturally happy. But Yuxi's tone of determination made Zijin feel weird.

Yu Xi didn't answer this question, but said: "You will know when the time comes." It's just that she needs to accumulate enough capital before that.

After half an hour, Yunqing came back, saw Yuxi, and asked, "What happened?" Yunqing rushed back after getting the news.

Yuxi said: "The Song family and the Yu family knew that you led troops to copy the Xu family's matter, and they unanimously suggested a thorough investigation of the Xu family's affairs. The crown prince couldn't resist, and sent an imperial envoy to investigate the matter thoroughly." The only fortunate thing, this This imperial envoy is not from the Yu family or the Song family. However, this does not guarantee that the imperial envoy will be bribed by the Song family or the Yu family on the way.

Yun Qing said with a cold face: "When they finish their investigation, where will they get the money to pay the Wu family's final payment?" After ordering so many things, they only paid half of the money! At that time, the things are collected, the money cannot be paid, and the face is lost. Shameless is the second thing, because they are afraid of being affected by this. In the future, the Wu family will first collect the money and then deliver the goods.

Yuxi thinks this is indeed a problem, but the bigger problem is yet to come: "I'm afraid that the imperial envoy will check your accounts, so you have to be careful." Seeing Yunqing's indifferent expression, Yuxi said: " If you deliberately find fault, you can always find fault with the egg. You still have to be prepared, or you will definitely suffer."

Yun Qing nodded and said, "I'll discuss this matter with Mr. Xia later."

Yuxi's heart choked when she heard this, and said: "He Rui, you can't rely on Mr. Xia for all military affairs." It's not that Mr. Xia is bad, but Yuxi feels that relying too much on others will become a hindrance.

Yun Qing said nonchalantly: "Those who are able work hard, Mr. Xia is so talented, it would be a pity not to use it." What Yun Qing is most impatient with is common affairs, so most of these things are left to Mr. Xia to deal with, and a small part Handed over to Mr. Chen.

Yuxi thinks this is not a good sign, but she can't continue to say: "Clear out the accounts, and the other is not afraid of the imperial envoy's investigation." Yun Qing has only been in office for half a year, and the previous things have nothing to do with him. You only need to take care of the affairs of the past six months, and you won't be afraid.

Speaking of this, Yuxi's face changed, and she said: "He Rui, if the imperial envoy really wants to check the accounts, maybe they will check the previous accounts. He Rui, there must be something wrong with the previous accounts, and those accounts must be dealt with Alright, otherwise Marshal Qin's fame will be ruined." If you want to say who Yuxi admires the most, Marshal Qin is none other than Marshal Qin. Yuxi didn't want Marshal Qin to bear a notoriety after devoting himself to Yucheng.

Yun Qing really didn't expect this, after hearing Yu Xi's words, his expression changed.

Yuxi said: "Don't worry, go discuss it with Mr. Xia, I think he will have a solution." Yuxi believes that after Mr. Xia knows about this, he must be more anxious than him.

Yun Qing nodded and said, "I'll go right away." After speaking, he turned around and left.

When Mr. Xia heard that the imperial envoy was coming, he might check Yucheng's account, and immediately changed his face, but soon Mr. Xia regained his composure: "It's not difficult to deal with this matter." As long as all the account books are burned, the imperial envoy will I can't find anything.

Yun Qing nodded and said, "Just use this method." (To be continued)
