This is the first time that the Su family's goods have never been intercepted by the inspection department for a hundred years.

Su Yong knew that Su Qing was in a hurry to get angry when encountering such a thing, so she said in a gentle voice, "I'm not in a hurry at this point, I'll get someone to fetch water, you can wash your face well, and we'll go ask Dad later, the goods were stopped What should I do, I have to redeem the goods no matter what, it took a month to burn such a large ship of goods, so it’s a pity to lose it like this.”

Su Qing washed her face again, and under Su Yue's comfort, her mood also calmed down, and the two went to the study with slightly pale faces.

Many guests came to today's full moon banquet, including some male guests. Su Yuanshan was drinking with the male guests at the banquet. He didn't drink very well. After most of the day, although he didn't drink much, he still felt a little swollen. Unclear, sitting in the study sobering up.

After hearing the news, Su Yuanshan completely woke up from his drunkenness.

Ever since Su's white porcelain kiln fired white porcelain, Su's goods have never been intercepted by the inspection department. It has been many years, and Su Yuanshan has never dealt with Fujian's inspection department.

Su Yuanshan took a sip of the hangover tea made by his wife, "First we need to find out why Fujian stopped our ship. Our Su family is doing serious business. We transported this ship to Yanjing, and we did not privately Going to sea for business."

The imperial court closed the sea ban, prohibiting private trade with foreign countries. However, in the coastal area, many merchants will secretly unite together and form a fleet to go to sea for trade. The goods suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

Su Qing also thought of this point. Since he received Mr. Huang's letter, he went to the people in the fleet to inquire about the news. There should be news within two days at the earliest.However, Su Qing was a little distressed. Even after hearing the news, they had no acquaintances in Fujian who could help.Even if the wrong ship was blocked due to an unreasonable disaster, Su Qing, the people in the inspection department, knew that it was impossible to release the goods so easily, and he had to get some benefits from it no matter what.

"It would be great if the inspection department could release the goods if we paid some money to eliminate disasters." Su Qing was angry and felt aggrieved.

Su Yue didn't even want to pay the money, "Why did they stop the wrong boat, and we still have to spend money to honor them, it's too lawless."

The appetite of these people is like a bottomless pit. How can they be fed enough? This time, they will ask for 100 taels, and next time they stop the boat for no reason, and they will ask for another 200 taels... Once there is the first time, there will be a second time. three times.

Su Yong's stubbornness is stubborn, sometimes it's a good thing, but often it's a bad thing. Su Yuanshan was worried that his little daughter would suffer in this regard, and blamed him, "What do you know? Things that can be solved with money are trivial things. I'm afraid of paying money to solve them." If you can’t solve it, then it’s troublesome.”

Su Qing's heart is also in a mess, the Su family's connections are too weak, not to mention that this matter involves officialdom, the Su family's connections are far from enough.

Su Yong was not convinced, she stood on the side with her lips pouted and her face was full of displeasure, but she uncharacteristically didn't talk back.

It would be great if Mr. Zheng was here. She went to ask Mr. Zheng for help. Mr. Zheng is so kind and will definitely help her. It's a pity that Mr. Zheng has gone to the west, and she can't contact Mr. Zheng in the vast sea. Pigeons don't work, and pigeons can't fly that far. It's really hard to handle.

Su Yuanshan's face turned slightly red, drinking sober tea, his mind was mostly sober, and he thought of a person, they are ordinary people, if they encounter problems, they can only ask the parents and officials in the city for help, but this matter is not under the jurisdiction of the magistrate, I don't know who he is Regardless, Su Yuanshan was a little uncertain.

Su Qing also thought of Lin Cheng, "I don't know if Mr. Lin is in the house?"

Master Lin is very busy and often goes to the countryside to learn about people's livelihood.

Su Yue also hasn't seen Lin Cheng for a long time, so she doesn't know what Master Lin is up to recently.

"Brother, I'll go with you. Mr. Lin might know someone from Fujian." Su Yue felt better.

Su Yuanshan was taken aback, and gave someone a random look, "Let's read your medical books at home." After speaking, he repeatedly asked Wang to prepare bath water, and he wanted to take a bath and change clothes before going out.

Mrs. Wang didn't know what happened, she felt sorry for Su Yuanshan who was tired of serving guests today and drank too much alcohol, so she quickly followed Su Yuanshan's instructions to prepare bath water.

Su Yuanshan bathed and changed into clean clothes, took Su Qing, and went to Lin's mansion before it was dark.

It was just a coincidence that Mr. Lin was away from home, and when he asked the concierge when Mr. Lin would come back, the concierge faltered and couldn't answer.

The two returned home disappointed.

Su Yong recalled that Lin Cheng once told her that in the future, if something happens, don't wait for him to come back, and write a letter to the housekeeper of Lin's house. The housekeeper will naturally know how to send the letter.

Su Yue asked Su Qing to write a letter to Mr. Lin and hand it over to the housekeeper of Lin's mansion.

"Are you familiar with Mr. Lin?" Su Qing raised her head and asked while writing a letter on the desk.

Su Yue pursed her lips and smiled, and waved her hands again and again, "We don't know each other well, we are just friends."

She has met Lin Cheng several times and helped each other once or twice. They are very good friends, but not so good that they can confide in each other.

Su Qing thought of the scene when she went out of the city to invite the old lady of the Yang family a month ago. Those who prevented the second girl from entering the city would be sent to the yamen to deal with it according to law. She also thought of the recent rumors in the city. Everyone was speculating about the relationship between the second girl Su and Mrs. Lin. Recently, Su Qing went out , the soldiers guarding the city were much more polite to him.

Su Qing raised her eyebrows, with an expression that I knew.

Su Yong knew that Su Qing had misunderstood, and quickly shook Su Qing's arm to explain, "I really don't know each other very well, I'm really just friends."

"Okay, okay, I didn't say anything, you are obviously guilty." Su Qing smiled and shook her head, "If you shake it again, I can't write my letter."

Su Yue stopped shaking and didn't explain any more, just watched Su Qing write the letter quietly.

On the evening of the second day after Su Qing's letter was delivered, the housekeeper of the Lin residence sent someone to reply, saying that Mr. Lin had returned.

The person who was talking back and forth was this Yunshan who was thrown into a corner by Lin Cheng. It happened that Su Yuanshan was not at home, so Su Yong called Hongjiao to freshen up, and followed Su Qing to go out.

Knowing that the two brothers and sisters were going to find the magistrate Lin, Mrs. Wang put a basket of red bean cakes that had just been made in the afternoon in a small basket, and told Su Yue, "The last time I went to Yang's house to ask Mrs. Lin, it was Mrs. Lin who helped me. I didn't have time to thank Mr. Lin well, and we don't know what he likes to eat, if he doesn't like sweets, we will make something else next time."

Mrs. Wang is very good at making pastries, and the red bean cakes she makes are even more delicious than those sold outside.

Su Yue carried the little basket and was a little anxious. When Su Yuanshan came back, she would definitely not be able to go again, so she comforted her mother and said, "Mother, don't worry, the red bean cakes made by mother are very good." Followed Su Qing anxiously Later, I went to the Lin Mansion.
