Qing Palace: Biography of Concubine Shu

Chapter 834
On the fifth day of May, the official Dragon Boat Festival, Kangxi celebrated the festival in the south again. In order to please Kangxi, the officials started to decorate all the streets with lights and decorations. Many people wanted to take this opportunity to make some zongzi to add to their homes. Several entries.

Unexpectedly, the government issued an order that the common people could not sell zongzi, they could only give them away, and many people complained.

Many common people can only acquiesce, after all, in their consciousness, the common people cannot be opposite to the government.

The princes didn't know about this move, they just wondered why these people were wearing too thick clothes, and they didn't even have the slightest smile.

Shu Yun changed into the clothes of a wealthy businessman's wife, stepped on a fake three-inch golden lotus, and strolled on the street. Yinzhen helped Shu Yun pay the bill in front, those little things were very cheap, Shu Yun always felt that the price was a bit strange .

"Master, we have been here several times, and the price this time is the cheapest." The smile on Shu Yun's face disappeared, but he just felt a little strange.

Yinzhen was slightly taken aback, why did Shu Yun say that?

"You say it's true?" Yinzhen looked at Shu Yun and asked.

"Well, there is a zongzi seller in front. I like to eat zongzi from the south. When you buy zongzi, please ask." Shu Yun looked at the zongzi in the distance, and said quickly.

Yinzhen's face was gloomy. It seemed that someone had specially prepared it. Even the palace lanterns on both sides of the street were a little too new. It was obvious that they were actually installed before they came over.

Shu Yun took Su Zhu to the zongzi stall, and found that the stall owner's face was very ugly, and even his smile was stiff.

"How do you sell these zongzi?" Shu Yun asked gently.

"No money, just take it." The stall owner said weakly, but Shu Yun was shocked by what he heard.

"What did you say?" Shu Yun became suspicious, "Last year, when I accompanied the young master to buy goods, I still asked for money?"

"Hehe, I really can't ask for money this year. What kind of food do you like, ma'am, I'll get it for you." The stall owner's bitter smile froze the smile on Shu Yun's face.

Shu Yun looked at the stall owner who was packing the zongzi deftly, and then at Su Zhu, asking her to give some silver as a reward.

"This purse is a reward for you, not a purchase." Shu Yun watched Su Zhu hand over a purse, but the stall owner repeatedly refused.

"Ma'am, I know that you have good intentions. If someone finds out, they will definitely sue. You can't let my family lose its pillar." The stall owner quickly waved his hand and flatly rejected Shu Yun's reward.

Under the hint of Shu Yun's eyes, Su Zhu forced it into the shopkeeper's hand.

"It's fine if you don't say it. If the young master knows that I have taken things without money, I will definitely say it." Shu Yun said quickly.

The stall owner declined several times, but found that Shu Yun's attitude was firm, as long as he was under his command.

"Ma'am, if you want to buy something, you don't need to prepare a bounty. Basically, the imported items are free of charge, and small items can only be charged a small price." The stall owner said in a low voice.

Shu Yun heard it and looked at him in surprise.

"Could it be an order?" Shu Yun didn't say the word "government". The other party obviously knew what Shu Yun said, so he nodded quickly.

The two master and servant took the things and rushed back to Yinzhen's side. Seeing Shu Yun's expression turned pale, he quickly took Shu Yun to the private room of the tea house.

"My lord, the government actually issued an order that in the commercial street, all the items at the entrance must be given as gifts, and the small items are all priced uniformly, and the price is very low." Shu Yun said hastily.

After hearing this, Xu Zhen's expression turned ugly. If outsiders found out, they would definitely put this responsibility on the royal family.

"Have you given the bounty?" Yinzhen looked at Shu Yun and asked.

If Shu Yun encountered a similar situation, he would definitely offer a bounty, for fear that it would give the censors a chance to speak out.

"Of course, I don't want things that I get for free. If I can't get them right, these things will have to be expensive." Shu Yun spread his hands and said, "Master, tell me, why did the governor do this? I It’s not very happy to see the vendors.”

Yinzhen sneered: "The prefect here has just taken office. When Huang Ama came here for the first time, of course I hope to have a better performance."

As soon as the words fell, several princes appeared directly in the private room, and Bayan dispatched the guards around him to directly inform the several princes, planning to take advantage of the opportunity of coming over to have a good discussion.

"Fourth, why don't you wait below?" Yinfei walked in first.

"Brother, please sit down first." Yinzhen looked at Yinqi and Yinzhen following closely behind, the presence of the four of them is enough, and Yinfeng and I are just the ones.

"Fourth brother, did something happen?" Yinzhen's shop was basically not on this commercial street, so he didn't know the government's order.

Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen: "Lao Jiu, where is your shop?"

"In the commercial street in the east of the city, dignitaries and dignitaries go there. When we tour the south, we usually go there very well." Yinzhen doubted.

"Little boy, I went to buy zongzi just now, and found that this year, the food at the entrance of the commercial street here is all given away, and the small commodities are all at the same price, and the price is very low." Yinzhen said directly.

Yin Xie and the others looked at each other, and took two breaths of air.

"I see that there are not many people coming to shop. Logically speaking, the people should flock here." Yinzhen came to his senses.

"It should be that the passenger flow has been restricted, but we have to talk to Huang Ama." Yinyi looked at Wei Wei's three younger brothers and said.

Yinqi was stunned, Yinzhen was more familiar with business matters, and all the income under his name was handled by Yinzhen single-handedly.

"It's no wonder the stall owners are frowning. I said the price is really cheap for what Songkriyerha wants to buy." Yin Genjue Luo Shi echoed.

When several people were discussing, they heard the entrance of the commercial street. There was a burst of noise. They all walked to the window of the private room. something.

"It's the yamen servants who suppressed it. No wonder, let's walk in. Those people are different from those in other places. They should be pretended by people from the yamen." Yin Qi sneered.

"Division of labor, Yinqi, you go back and report to Huang Ama, Yinzhen, you go to the store to find out the situation, fourth child, you and I will watch from the private room." Yinyi ordered the younger brothers to act.

Yin Genjue Luo Shi and Shu Yun stood at the window, watching the common people rushing into the commercial street, and the voices of denunciation made the stall owners feel even more bitter. If the flow is limited, the things they give away can still be For the female relatives of the superiors or officials, if the common people pour in, their things will be wasted.
