Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

"Okay, let's listen to the patriarch and Uncle Six." Tiedan'er's father was the first to respond, "In the past, my family didn't even have cotton-padded clothes or pants to go out in the winter, and it was as cold as a dog. Now it's good to have enough food and clothing, but don't be greedy. That’s it. At worst, we’ll continue planting corn tomorrow spring, the date won’t be wrong!”

Everyone was reminded, and they felt more at ease when they remembered that there was still Baomi to support them.

"The patriarch is right, get to work and go home!"

"That's right, Uncle Liu and his family are good at what they do. We can just look for good business in the future."

After chatting for a while, Mr. Tai began to chase people away, "Okay, it's getting late, go home quickly. Keep the courtyard door closed at night to prevent wild beasts from coming down the mountain. Starting tomorrow, those who are scheduled to patrol will patrol , don’t be lazy.”

Everyone agreed and took their wives and children home to sleep on the hot bed.

The young and old of the Tai family were left behind to set the dinner table. Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang took the boys to the kitchen to eat. The old man, Third Master Tai and Guanshi Min were left in the hall, plus Tai Jizu and the three brothers Tai Jizong and Tai Jiye.

The sun had already set outside and everything was dim. It was obvious that Manager Min could not go back.

Therefore, everyone no longer had any scruples, opened a jar of sorghum wine and drank it happily.

Manager Min carefully explained what happened to the middle-aged man again, and everyone was confused as to how to deal with it.

If you curse this middle-aged gentleman to steal business, he is already dead.

If you feel sorry for him, this person still has bad intentions...

In the end, the old man waved his hand, "Forget it, let's just pretend we don't know about this and never mention it again. I hope they will stop here and never mess with our family again."

Third Master Tai nodded and sighed, "Common people have a hard time. If any noble man has his thoughts, it will be a disaster for us."

Tai Jiye was naturally distressed that his family's unique business was gone. He had been busy for several months, and after all, he had put a lot of effort into it.

But this matter cannot be blamed on anyone. It can only be said that a big tree attracts wind, and it is difficult to make money alone!
But Tai Jizu didn't think so. He drank two bowls of wine and his whole face and neck were red. Now his eyes were red due to the alcohol.

He held his brother's hand, his voice choked up.

"San'er, it's my eldest brother's fault. He's incompetent and didn't take a good look at your workshop."

The last time Tai Jiye saw his elder brother like this was when his mother passed away. He was stunned for a moment and his nose became sore.

"Brother, what are you talking about! This workshop belongs to our family, and it doesn't belong to me alone. Besides, if you really want to say whose it belongs to, it belongs to my sister-in-law too! It was my sister-in-law who figured out how to weave clothes and pants. Fa, I'm just responsible for running to the grassland to buy cashmere. Brother, don't say that in the future, we are a family, no one is sorry to anyone!"

Tai Jizong turned his head, secretly wiped away his tears, and turned around to persuade his eldest brother and younger brother.

"That's right, what Lao San said is right. There are many profitable businesses in the world. If we don't do cashmere clothes and pants business, we can find other ones!"

Manager Min also smiled and said, "Besides, you can make a fortune from the cashmere shipped back this time. Now everyone in the city is looking for cashmere, and the price of cashmere has increased four to five times!"

Everyone was surprised and happy.

Mr. Tai told him, "The third child will go to the city after a few days of rest. If you really make money by selling cashmere, then you can keep enough at home for your own use and sell the rest. This will save you worry!"

Saying this, the wine table became lively again.

Tai Jiye didn't want his brother to worry anymore, so he talked about what he had seen on the road. "When we came back, we were still thirty miles away from our county seat. We encountered a convoy of noble people. It was really arrogant. In order for them to pass, they actually stopped all our carriages and pedestrians, which delayed us for a full day. Otherwise, we I’ll be home in the morning.”

Mr. Tai responded, "It will be done sooner or later, and there is nothing important at home. Nowadays, many noble people have come to the palace, and every household has gone out less, and they don't want to cause trouble."

"That's right. I'm watching the villagers stop wandering around. In the past few days, even the carriages entering the city have stopped!" Tai Sanye took a sip of strong wine, feeling very annoyed and helpless.

"These noble people really don't live in Kyoto, so what are they doing here in this bitter cold place like ours?"

Manager Min responded, "I heard a few words. It seems that the person is going to meet with the Khan of the Grasslands. It is said that they made an appointment a few years ago."

He pointed to the roof of the shed, and everyone nodded in understanding.

"Forget it, forget it, we don't understand your nobleman's affairs, and we can't get involved, so just mind yourselves." Mr. Tai picked up the wine bowl and said, "Come on, take a sip and congratulate Jiye for leading the convoy." Return safely."

Everyone's wine bowls collided together, making a crisp sound, which is the best music for reunion!
At this moment, the carriage pulling Mr. Zhou's body hurried back to the palace.

The two guards looked at the crying entourage and had no choice but to go to the third prince to report.

But how many times did they think about how to say something to get rid of themselves, and the result...

The third prince is not here!
The little eunuch who served the third prince took their money and was willing to say a few more words.

"His Highness the Third has accepted the errand arranged by the Emperor and has already taken people to the border guard camp. If you have something urgent to report, you can rush to the border. If you are not in a hurry, just wait. Your Highness will be here in three to five days. came back!"

The two guards looked at each other with a bit of joy in their expressions, and naturally decided to classify the matter as not urgent.

It must be important to know that the third prince is on errands under the emperor's orders.

Don't bother him with such a trivial matter!

The two of them left the palace and went directly to Mr. Zhou's entourage to persuade them together.

"Brother Zhou, the Third Highness has gone on errands. I don't know when he will come back. Even if the weather is cold now, Mr. Zhou cannot be left lying outside like this. He must be buried as soon as possible."

"Yes, His Highness the Third Prince doesn't have a very good temper. What if he comes back and finds out that Mr. Zhou messed up his job and didn't get the daily income from the business? Will he be angry then? What if he doesn't allow Mr. Zhou to be buried? For An... Mr. Zhou will be even worse!"

The entourage was less than twenty years old, so he didn't have any ideas. He cried hard when he was frightened by them.

"Then what should we do? Wow, it would be pitiful if our husband accidentally drowned..."

A guard took the opportunity to reveal his real purpose, "Why don't you take Mr. Zhou's coffin back to your hometown and be buried in it? Even if His Highness the Third Highness pursues the case, Mr. Zhou can't be dug out of the grave! Let's say a few more good words. It means that big things are still small, and small things have turned into small things!”

The entourage realized that it was justified, and hurriedly took the coachman with him, pulling the coffin back to Kyoto overnight.

In the palace, a remote courtyard was also lit with lights at the moment.

Under the light, the sixth prince was drinking tea and listening to his subordinates' reports, with a look of surprise on his face. (End of chapter)
