Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 219

The carriage quickly left Miyagi, Liangju was driven by Sanbao, and the master and servant headed towards Shen's house.

The two soon arrived at Shen's house, Sanbao handed over the carriage to the gatekeeper of Shen's house, and followed Zhu Biao in stride.

There were several trees and flowers in the yard, and then a few maids came in from the main entrance, one carrying a small and exquisite teapot, and the enamel teacup with exquisite patterns on the tea table, and delivered high-quality tea leaves.

This series of actions was very familiar, and without making any noise, Zhu Biao's special teacup was brought to his hand.

"Your Highness, please have some tea." The servant girl came over with tea in a soft voice. She didn't put on any powder, and she was wearing a clean cloth dress.

After Zhu Biao had finished his tea, the girl said softly, "Miss and Miss Xiaolian went to the shop to check the accounts, and they have already sent someone to invite them."

Sanbao picked up the small pot and added some water to Zhu Biao, saying, "Master, why don't I go and have a look."

"No, just wait here." Zhu Biao looked at the maid and said, "Master Shen is at home?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the master has not returned for a long time after he went to Shandong, and Miss Xiaolian is helping to take care of the mansion."

"Well, back off."

These maids were well trained by Shen Zhiwu, and they knew Zhu Biao's identity before, so they were not too surprised.

After half a stick of incense, Xiao Lian came in, saw Zhu Biao, and saluted, "Your Highness, Miss said that she will be here soon after washing up."

Zhu Biao picked up the teacup and nodded.

Xiao Lian glanced at Zhu Biao, then lowered her head to grab her fingers, then raised her head after a while, then took the fruit and said, "Your Highness, eat the fruit."

"Ah."

After a while, she brought another three plates of snacks and said, "Your Highness, eat some snacks."

"Ah."

……

After repeating this several times, the table next to Zhu Biao was almost full. Seeing that Zhu Biao was a little confused, Sanbao immediately reached out to stop him: "Miss Xiaolian, Your Highness doesn't eat desserts, fruits, or candied fruit."

Zhu Biao put down the teacup: "Muying didn't write to you? He didn't write to Gu either."

After much deliberation, she was the only one who wanted to ask about Mu Ying.

"Your Highness, Yunnan..."

"Xiao Lian, how can you inquire about important military affairs of the imperial court?" Shen knew whether he came in from outside the door. Although his clothes were looser, he could still see tight and smooth curves.

"Miss." Xiaolian nodded helplessly.

"In the Battle of Yunnan, they had conquered Qujing. Fu Youde took Qujing and divided up again, and ordered Muying and the others to continue to lead the army westward. That's all I know, it's rare that you care about it."

Then Sanbao and Xiaolian left.

Looking at Zhu Biao, she wanted to be like an ordinary woman and ask him if he missed her, lost his temper, acted like a baby or something.

But she is very restrained, Shen's shop has a lot of family business, and she has been telling herself to think more about things and be more mature since she learned to manage the business.

How to behave as a woman and how to behave as a wife are all reasonable for her.

But in the end she was happy, she couldn't deny that.

"I heard that there was a mistake in the scientific examination." Shen Zhi said: "I have heard those candidates in the inn talk about setting up Enke North Field?"

"Father is very angry. The Fengtian Temple reprimanded Enke Director and Enke Examiner. Those candidates still need to stay in the inn for a while." Zhu Biao sighed.

"Stay here, stay here, why do you still come all the way to talk to me about such a trivial matter?"

"That's right, these people are lonely, so we can just handle this matter directly." Zhu Biao laughed.

"My father thinks a lot about the matter of the Wen family. He went to Shandong, and there are more than a dozen shopkeepers in charge of me and the Jiangnan area."

"It's normal that the winner this time is a scholar from the south. Since the Song Dynasty, the culture of the south has improved a lot. It will take some time for the north. It is also a smart move for His Majesty to set up Enke North Field.

Although His Majesty is strict, he is indeed a good king, and the people in the capital all praise him.I love you too, Your Highness. "

Zhu Biao nodded: "Tea merchants in Zhejiang and Fujian have heard that the prefect of Hangzhou said that the tea is due to rainwater problems."

"I only know a little about tea, and I only heard that tea merchants often travel to and from Suzhou, and the Biluochun from Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake was listed as a tribute in Tang Dynasty.

It is said that tens of thousands of buds are needed to make a pound of dry tea.And Hangzhou, Fujian, Anhui, etc., also have tea merchants going back and forth.The price of tea is also differentiated by color, tea aroma, tea taste, and shape. "

Zhu Biao looked up and saw some light-colored bruises at the corners of her eyes, he was startled, stood up and looked at her face and asked, "What's going on?"

"I put on a lot of makeup, but I didn't expect it to be noticed by His Highness." Shen Zhishi smiled and stroked his face and said: "The matter of raw silk, but I'm already looking into it."

"Raw silk?" Zhu Biao's first reaction was the matter of the Weaving Bureau, and he said, "Talk to Gu."

"These days, I always find that some raw silk is missing. Although the amount is small, many weavers are missing some. I paid attention and found that some weavers were hiding on their bodies and secretly selling them to retail merchants.

When confronting the weaver the day before yesterday, he was knocked down. "Shen Zhi said truthfully.

"Is it a woman from Beiyuan?" Zhu Biao looked at her and asked.

"Yes, but it has been arrested and is being questioned."

Zhu Biao naturally knew that those weavers in the south of the Yangtze River would not be like this, and the weavers in the Beiyuan Dynasty were more wild, running around on the grassland all the year round.

"Does it hurt?" Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to caress her cheek and said, "The Academy of National Scholars has a plaster for beauty and swelling, Shigu asked Sambo to give you some."

As for raw silk, if ordinary people smuggle it out and buy it, it may be from a poor family, but these grassland women collectively steal raw silk and sell it, which is a bit suspicious.

Do you want to escape?However, when they were numbered at the time, they were all resident books with portraits and identities marked on them, and they could not escape the checkpoints.

"They dare to beat people. Didn't Daotong have any discipline?"

"It has already been detained. It's just that this is not a long-term solution. If other descendants of Beiyuan see their fellow villagers being detained, I am afraid that there will be hidden dangers for the weaving bureau. I will let them return the raw silk and put it back under punishment."

Zhu Biao looked at her and said, "Gu will ask Sanbao to keep an eye on it secretly. You don't have to worry about it. If anyone dares to hurt you, Gu will not let you go. As long as Gu lives, he will always protect you."

"The north sent a batch of high-quality ginseng and tonics. I asked Xiaolian to pick a few. When you come today, go back and take them with you to take care of your body."

After finishing speaking, Shen Zhi raised his head slowly, with tears in his eyes and said: "Make some medicine porridge to make up for it."

"Well, write it down, there is no shortage in the palace."

At this moment, Xiao Lian came in with the medicine and put it down, "Miss, I've taken the medicine."

Seeing Zhu Biao staring at the medicine bowl, Shen Zhishi explained: "I feel dizzy these days, so I take some medicine."

Seeing her drink it with a frown, Zhu Biao took a snack and fed it to her: "It's bitter."

"It's still bitter." Shen Zhishi frowned and said softly,
Zhu Biao let her lean in his arms, lightly touched her back, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay."

Xiao Lian felt that it was inappropriate for her to stand, so she stuck out her tongue and ran out.

The two chattered about salt and tea, stone hewing, iron smelting, cloth weaving and oil refining.

Zhu Biao also understood the affairs and rules of these business fields in Jiangnan, and planned to go back and change the affairs of the Salt Bureau and mines.
