Chapter 268 The man is in the dim light
The rectification of the salt business is definitely a huge and tedious project, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight. Hongqing knew very well. Therefore, even though she really wanted to return to Beijing early, Hongqing was still patient and started from scratch step by step. In addition to handing over the salt patrol matter to Ji Huaijin to handle, Hongqing did not rush to do any more harsh tricks. After several days, she only did one thing, which was to transfer the account books and various files of the Salt Affairs Office, not only allowed the more than 30 workers who came with him to complete the account account, but also participated in it himself.
The salt transport yamen in the world have seven locations - Lianghuai, Liangzhe, Changlu, Hedong, Shandong, Fujian, and Zhili. Can we talk about the distribution of salt merchants? However, Lianghuai is the leader. Not only are the four major merchants in Yangzhou, but also 70% of the salt merchants with a little strength are within the jurisdiction of Lianghuai. In fact, except for a small part of the salt yamen issued by the court every year, a large amount of salt yamen issued by the court was obtained by the salt yamen in Shandong and Fujian, as many as 82% of the salt yamen were issued from the salt yamen in Lianghuai. This made the accounts and files of the salt yamen in Lianghuai, even though Hongqing only called the part since the 30th year of Kangxi.
There is also a huge amount of half a room. Even if people want to find out thoroughly, it is not three or two days to get it done. However, Hongqing was not annoyed. She was happily scattered on the old paper every day, and she always arrived early in the morning. When the lights were on, she returned to her full pleasure. She was so persistent that she was really comparable to the craze for gold digging. Now, today she was struggling again and it was already dark before she returned to the inn. As soon as she got off the sedan chair, she saw several people standing outside the gate of the inn. With the help of the light of the lantern hanging on the door, Hongqing couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
Why did she come?
As soon as he saw Cao Shuang'er's petite figure standing in the dim light, Hongqing's heartstrings trembled involuntarily, but at the same time, a strange irritability also surged. No one else, you should know that Hongqing's body was filled with the thinking of an adult, and she didn't have any special "sexual interest" in her previous life. Although the beauty liked her tightly, she had no hobby to destroy the flower buds. Logically speaking, even if she was moved by the beauty, it shouldn't be a little Cao Shuang'er. The problem was that the trembling of the heartstrings could not be faked. This made Hongqing very puzzled and couldn't help but get angry. Of course, what was annoyed was just her own inexplicable emotions, but she was not for Cao Shuang'er.
"The grass people bow to the little prince!"
Before Hongqing could come back to her senses, she saw that Wang Cunmiao, who was originally standing beside Cao Shuanger, had already scrambled to grab Hongqing, and a well-behaved gift was already done.
"Brother Wang doesn't have to be too polite, please calm down."
Although he was in a mess, Hongqing did not show any disobedience at this moment. Faced with Wang Cunmiao's great gift, Hongqing accepted it calmly. After the ceremony was finished, she raised her move and shouted warmly.
"Thank you little prince long."
Since he met Hongqing's cruelty with his father a few days ago, Wang Cunmiao no longer dared to regard himself as a friend and thanked him properly, he stood up just now, but he did not dare to stand up straight and bowed slightly to show the distinction between superiors and inferiors.
"Little woman Cao Shuang'er has met the little prince!"
After Wang Cunmiao gave the gift, Cao Shuang'er bit his lip slightly, hesitated clearly for a moment, then he walked forward slowly, and greeted Hongqing with a blessing.
"Miss Shuang'er doesn't have to be like this. Ben Beile didn't know that Miss Shuang'er has arrived. It's all Ben Beile's fault."
Seeing Cao Shuang'er coming, Hongqing's heart beat a little faster without any effort. When she saw Cao Shuang'er saluting her, Hongqing's heartbeat was as if it had hit a deer. For a moment, she was at a loss. The answers seemed a little incoherent.
"Haha, hehe..."
Although it was dark and the light of the lanterns beside it was not very bright, Hongqing's embarrassment was too obvious. Others were holding back their heads and dared not laugh, but Cao Shuang'er obviously had no such concern and couldn't help but let out a silver bell-like laugh, which immediately made Hongqing's face turn red. As for the people standing next to her, her face was almost green.
"Brother Wang, Miss Shuang'er, it's so inconvenient here, so how can I talk inside?"
After all, he had lived for two lifetimes, but he was so embarrassed by a little girl. It really made Hongqing feel helpless. But this matter was purely due to his loss of composure. Even if he wanted to have an attack, he couldn't find a reason. Besides, even if he had a reason, he was afraid he wouldn't have the nerve to attack the girl. There was no way, Hongqing could only smile and wave his hand, and send an invitation with a hint of embarrassment.
"Little Prince, please first."
Although he wanted to laugh loudly, Wang Cunmiao did not have the courage and was so suffocated that his handsome face was twisted and slightly ferocious. When he heard Hongqing ask for it, he hurriedly bowed in disguise and said politely.
"Well, please, Miss Shuang'er."
With such a buffer, Hongqing was relieved. Then she said softly, waved her hand at Cao Shuang'er, who was laughing, and gently invited.
"Um."
With just a touch of Hongqing's eyes, Cao Shuang'er, who was smiling, suddenly turned red. She hurriedly lowered her head and said shyly.
Dizzy, this little girl is only a few years old, and her soul-catching aura is so great. How can she be born in the future?
Seeing Cao Shuanger's shame before speaking, Hongqing's heart trembled again. Of course, the annoyance immediately arose, muttered in her heart with annoyance, and did not dare to look at Cao Shuanger's seductive face again. She was a little fleeing and raised her foot to the post station.
"It's so good for the little prince to find out that it will be the birthday of my second aunt in two days. My father thought about doing it briefly. If he could get the little prince to visit, it would be a great blessing for the family of Cao people."
After the group of people held the reception room, they all divided the guests and hosts and guests. The guards of the royal palace who were accompanying him rushed to serve the newly brewed fragrant tea. After some polite words of no nutrition, Wang Cunmiao took out a gold-burned invitation from his wide sleeves, held it in both hands, raised it high above his head, and sent out a humbly invitation.
Second aunt? Oh, yes, it’s Cao Shuanger’s biological mother.
When Hong Qing heard Wang Cunmiao say this, he was stunned at first, but he soon recalled the beautiful second wife he saw in the Cao family. He felt a little moved and understood the intention of Wang Panshou's move. To put it bluntly, it was just to use tiger skin as a banner. The reason why he sent Cao Shuanger to come together was simply because he was afraid that Hong Qing would not be willing to give such a face.
"Well, since it is Mrs. Cao's birthday, then Ben Beile should go and rejoice, so it's all done."
Although he saw through Wang Panshou's little plot, Hongqing didn't care much about it. There were still many things that needed to be used by the Wang family. He still had to give him the decent demeanor he should give him. He did not hesitate much and agreed readily.
"Thank you for your help, the people are grateful."
Wang Cunmiao came to invite him on his father's order, but he was really afraid that Hongqing would not give him any face. There was no such thing as the identity of the two parties. The difference between the identities between the two parties was too big. Even if he had such a relationship with Cao Yin, he would not have seen it before. He could not help but feel nervous in his heart. When he heard Hongqing agree so readily, he was so excited that he was a little uncontrollable and quickly bowed and thanked him.
"Brother Wang, you are polite. This is a trivial matter, so what's the point."
After being busy all day, Hongqing was already tired at this moment and really didn't want to talk too much. In addition, with Cao Shuang'er present, Hongqing felt uncomfortable all over and was too lazy to be too lazy to be too lazy. After being polite, she closed her mouth.
"The little prince has worked hard for days, thank you for your hard work, and the grass-roots people dare not disturb you too much, so I will say goodbye first."
Wang Cunmiao is the heir of the Wang family. He has been walking around the officialdom since he was a child. His ability to observe his face and color is certainly good. Seeing Hongqing, he had already shown his intention to expel the guests, so he did not dare to stay any longer, so he quickly spoke up.
"Okay, Brother Wang, go back and tell Mr. Wang, and say that Benbeile will arrive in the evening of the next day."
Seeing that Wang Cunmiao was so tactful, Hong Qing was naturally overused and did not say anything to keep him. She just made a promise and immediately picked up the tea bowl and acted as a show of seeing off the guests.
"The little prince stays and the grass people say goodbye."
After Wang Cunmiao bowed and bowed, he led Cao Shuang'er to the outside world.
Dizzy, this girl...
Cao Shuang'er followed Wang Cunmiao obediently and walked all the way to the screen at the entrance of the hall. Before turning the screen, he suddenly turned his head back and looked at Hongqing with a smile. Then, he turned the screen tightly. This time she looked around, but Hongqing's heart trembled again, and the tea bowl in her hand almost knocked over to the ground.
I'll take a break, what's his grandma's thing?
