Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 193 Xiaozhu's Narrative

Deacon Yu turned over the bronze badge with a slight tremor.

On the back of the badge, there are two words "Ya Ya" engraved on a carp with its tail pointing to the left.

Deacon Yu couldn't help but change color.

The waist badge originated in the Song Dynasty. Although Deacon Yu had never seen the waist badge of the Privy Council, he knew of its existence.

Judging from the appearance of this waist badge, it is obviously quite old and should be authentic.

Anyway, Deacon Yu has never met anyone pretending to be an official in his life, especially in places like the Privy Council.

He looked at Yang Yuan in surprise, then at Leng Yuchan, and said hesitantly, "I wonder what the two... gentlemen were going to say just now?"

Yang Yuan said, "Do you believe in my identity now? What I'm talking about is of great importance. Are you able to make the decision? If not, go and invite your boss here immediately."

"Yes, yes, yes. Please take a seat. I will go and invite our host right away."

Deacon Yu is just a businessman. He has never seen such a situation before, so he cannot make the decision.

Deacon Yu stood up and ran out of the tea room, but after taking a few steps, he came back in a flash.

He placed the badge in front of Leng Yuchan respectfully, then stumbled out again...

……

Leng Yuchan put away the badge and brushed her hair as if nothing had happened, but the blush on her face that never faded revealed her embarrassment.

Yang Yuan glanced at her and suddenly asked, "I heard that Leng Yaya is from Jinan Prefecture?"

Leng Yuchan thought to herself, he was indeed planning to deal with us, and he even found out my personal history.

On the surface, she said "hmm" calmly, "Yes, I am from Licheng County, Jinan Prefecture, Jingdong East Road."

Yang Yuan tapped the bamboo table with his fingers a few times and hummed:
"I heard that Old Bao was going to leave the capital, and the Empress in the East and West Palaces were very busy. The Empress in the East Palace was making pancakes, and the Empress in the West Palace was peeling green onions..."

After Yang Yuan finished singing, he smiled at Leng Yuchan and said, "Does Leng Yaya know what I sang?"

Yang Yuan just sang a piece of Shandong Lu Opera, and he only knows this piece.

I heard this sung in a crosstalk by a famous crosstalk artist named Hou.

However, in this era, Lu Opera had not yet appeared, and even Lu Opera's predecessor, Shandong Qinshu, had not yet appeared.

Although Leng Yuchan was born in Lin'an, when she heard Yang Yuan humming, she felt that the tone seemed to have a natural sense of familiarity.

However, she had never heard such a tune before, so she shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Yang Yuan said: "This is the tune from your hometown. It sings the story of Bao Zheng, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty."

"Legend has it that there was a severe drought in Chenzhou, and when the emperor's uncle went to distribute grain, he raised the price and reduced the measure, mixed sand into the rice grains, profited from it, and even beat to death an old man named Zhang, a disaster victim.

Bao Zheng was ordered to go to Chenzhou to investigate. The queen was worried that the king's uncle would be killed, so the East Palace made pancakes for Bao Zheng and the West Palace peeled green onions for him.

The two ladies bribed Bao Qingtian, hoping that he would spare the emperor's uncle. "

Leng Yuchan burst out laughing: "The two queens bribed the ministers by giving them a pancake with green onions?

How can I present it to you? Besides, how can a queen cook for herself? "

Yang Yuan smiled and said, “Village women all cook for their husbands, so they naturally think that the queen should also cook for the emperor.

In the eyes of the farmers there, pancakes wrapped with green onions are the most delicious food.

So, they thought that the good life of the emperor's family meant eating pancakes with green onions every day."

Leng Yuchan couldn't help laughing at first, but suddenly realized something.

She had just made a fool of herself, was Yang Yuan taking this opportunity to mock her?

Leng Yuchan couldn't help but ask, "Vice Imperial Secretary Yang suddenly mentioned this, what does he mean?"

Yang Yuan said: "What I mean is that they are not stupider than others.

The reason they had such ridiculous ideas was simply because they had never left their village.

They have only seen a palm-sized piece of sky, and the limits of their imagination are limited to that small world."

Yang Yuan looked at Leng Yuchan and said gently, "You entered the palace at the age of six, and worked in the Privy Council at the age of sixteen.

After three years of hard work, you have been promoted to the position of Yuzifang Ya Ya! You manage and dispatch thousands of spies across the country. Who dares to say that you, Leng Yuchan, are incompetent? "

"The people I just sang about will never be able to jump out of that well in their lifetime, and they will never be able to see the sky outside."

“And you, too, have only been standing in the clouds since you were little, never having your feet on the ground.

So, if you don’t know how to do something or don’t understand something, it’s no big deal. It’s not because you are clumsy, so don’t feel embarrassed. ”

Leng Yuchan stared at Yang Yuan blankly, and a warm current quickly soothed her body and mind.

Ah~~~, Deputy Secretary Yang, he is so warm...

No! He must be deliberately trying to trick me. He must be trying to trick me with his sweet words and then he can sharpen his knife to hurt me!
Leng Yuchan suddenly shuddered and quickly reminded herself not to be fooled!
Leng Yuchan, ah Leng Yuchan, wake up and don't be fooled by his sweet words!
He is a wolf that eats people without leaving any bones behind!
……

Yu Lin hurriedly found Li Shishi and explained his purpose. Shishi couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Someone from the Privy Council's Speed ​​Room?

Isn’t Erlang working in the Privy Council’s Machine Room now?
Li Shishi asked, "Have you checked their badges?"

Deacon Yu said with a bitter face: "I have checked it, but I have never seen a waist badge of a government official. Anyway, it doesn't look fake to me. There is a fish on the back of the waist badge, which looks alive."

Fish? Is the person coming from the Fish House?
Li Shishi's heart moved. Could it be that Erlang had come? Was it such a coincidence?
Li Shishi asked hurriedly: "What does that person look like?"

Deacon Yu said: "She is slender and tall, slightly taller than you, Madam, with a beautiful and elegant appearance and a graceful demeanor..."

Li Shishi interrupted him and said, "I'm asking about the man in charge."

Deacon Yu said, "Oh, that man is young and handsome, eight feet tall, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like bright stars, and a handsome face like jade..."

Li Shishi suddenly interrupted Yu Lin: "Deacon Yu."

"exist!"

"You have run this tea plantation very well. Next, we will expand two more workshops as we agreed. Also, your monthly salary will be increased by another 40%."

After saying this, Li Shishi picked up the "Qianlu" and put it on, then walked out slowly. Chen Erniang followed immediately.

Deacon Yu was a little confused, but he understood the expansion of the tea-roasting workshop.

However, if the tea-roasting workshop is to be expanded, it only needs to hire more tea-roasting masters. Is it necessary to pay him processing fees?

I don’t understand, I really don’t understand, but... I’m so happy!
So, Deacon Yu happily chased after Li Shishi.

Li Shishi arrived under the eaves of the teahouse, looked through Qianlu, and a knowing smile appeared on her lips.

It was indeed him, the little calf.

Li Shishi found it a little funny. They had just separated this morning, but she didn't expect to meet again at this time.

Li Shishi glanced at the woman next to Yang Yuan again. As Deacon Yu said, she was a very beautiful and tall woman.

This woman was probably the Zuo Ya Ya that Erlang mentioned.

Li Shishi glanced quickly but did not stop, walking straight in.

When Yang Yuan saw Shishi coming in, he was stunned.

He had seen Li Shishi wearing "Qianlu", so how could he be wrong?

Besides, even if she wore a "shallow revealing" top that covered her face, who else could be as beautiful as her slender waist and infinitely beautiful and charming mouth?

Didn’t you see that her bright red lips were still slightly swollen? That was his masterpiece from last night. How could he have recognized the wrong person?

But why is Shishi here? Could it be that this tea plantation...

No wonder Dan Niang could give Luxi such good roasted tea, which is of the same grade as the one I got from Prince Enping. It turns out that Dan Niang also got it from Shishi.

Yang Yuan thought about it and slowly stood up.

Chen Erniang was following behind Li Shishi and was shocked when she saw Yang Yuan.

Isn’t this our madam’s little lover’s?

You can’t say that. You can’t say that. You have to keep your mouth shut, or you’ll lose your job.

Chen Erniang quickly shut her mouth and pretended to look around, as if she didn't see Yang Yuan.

When Leng Yuchan saw Li Shishi approaching, her eyes lit up.

This... beauty who is as beautiful as a fairy queen or a goddess, is a rare beauty even among the many beauties in the palace.

Leng Yuchan glanced at Yang Yuan with her almond-shaped eyes again and saw his stunned expression, and she sneered in disdain in her heart.

He is indeed a lecherous man. He loses his mind when he sees the beautiful and charming young woman!

Then, she looked at Li Shishi carefully again. The more she looked, the more beautiful she became, and the more she liked her.

Tsk! Look at how she looks! Even a woman like me likes to look at her!

Perhaps because of the loneliness in the deep palace, Xue Bingxin likes to ship couples.

Leng Yuchan, on the other hand, doesn't mind eating anything raw or cold, and doesn't care what she eats when she's hungry. She also likes to admire beautiful women.

"My name is Li, and I am the owner of this Shifeng Tea Farm. I wonder what this great official has to say..."

Li Shishi stopped and asked softly.

She didn't recognize him immediately because the female bailiff was standing next to him.

That woman is the young master's enemy, so we must be on guard against her.

Seeing that she did not reveal her identity on the spot, Yang Yuan stood up and bowed, saying:

"I am Yang Yuan, the deputy imperial officer of the Privy Council. I have a major case to deal with and hope to get help from Madam Li."

"Oh?"

Under the light exposure, the beautiful lips slightly pursed: "Mr. Yang, please come this way."

Li Shishi bowed and made way for the bamboo house next to her, then turned and left. Yang Yuan hurriedly followed her.

Leng Yuchan curled her lips when she saw Yang Yuan's impatient look.

I really don't know how he managed to survive those ten years in the North.

With his character, if the northerners had used the "honey trap" on him, I'm afraid the grass on his grave would be two meters high by now.

As soon as they entered the bamboo house, Yang Yuan gently pinched Li Shishi's fat buttocks and said with a low laugh: "What's going on? What are you doing here?"

Li Shishi turned around, glanced at him charmingly, and said with a little complacency: "This tea plantation is my property, why can't I come?"

Although Yang Yuan had guessed it, he was still surprised: "Is it really your property?"

"Of course, I just got some to kill time when I'm bored."

Is it necessary to be so Versailles?
Although Yang Yuan didn't know how much profit the tea plantation made every day, he knew that it was not an exaggeration to describe it as making a fortune every day.

That's all, and she just did it to kill time when she was free?

Yang Yuan suddenly felt that he had worked so hard to establish the "Youqiusi", but what was the point?
Aunt Shishi, I don’t want to work hard anymore!
It was he who promoted the popularity of Qingming. Why didn't he think of the huge business opportunities it contained in time?

When he sat down on the chair, he felt a little discouraged.

Li Shishi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you more about the tea plantation when we get back. Why did you come here?"

Yang Yuan sighed and said, “I originally wanted to find a highly profitable business, a shopkeeper who could make a lot of money, and have him do some work for the court.

Who knew that I would choose you at the first round? Isn't this a conspiracy against me?
I think I should consider selling silk or porcelain."

"What's going on with you?"

Li Shishi rolled her eyes at him and said, "What's yours is yours, and what's mine is mine. This tea plantation has nothing to do with you.

If you are short of money, I can lend you interest-free for your second brother's sake. As for this property..."

Li Shishi touched her belly and said, "It depends on whether you can fight for it or not."

As she spoke, she walked over gracefully and sat on his lap. She hooked her little finger and stroked his face seductively, saying in a delicate voice, "Tell me, what's the trouble with you?"
