Empress Cao looked at her daughter in front of her, proud and distressed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As a mother, she wants to see her daughter safe and smooth, find a good husband, and live a simple and happy life.

However, Zhaoyang is really too good.

In her body, she inherited the ruthless cold-blooded from Emperor Qinglong, and she has her own hills and valleys in her chest, and she also has her own meticulousness and meticulousness, and her planning is invincible. Such a proud woman like Zhaoyang is proud, extraordinary, and wonderful, but for a woman, it is destined to have a bumpy life.

She sighed slightly, took Princess Zhaoyang's hand and said, "The queen mother only wishes you to be simple." Zhaoyang is older, you have your own ideas and ambitions, you go, the queen mother will be your backing. ”

Princess Zhaoyang snuggled into Empress Cao's arms and said softly: "The queen mother still understands me." ”

The two ate some pastries, and Queen Cao said, "Zhaoyang, there is someone, you pay attention." ”

Princess Zhaoyang patted the pastry crumbs on her hands, took the cup handed by Mu Hibiscus and rinsed her mouth, and asked, "Who?"

"The second son of Zhongguo Gong, Wu Zhengxiang. Empress Cao said: "In this capital, he has always been low-key, and even the queen mother has never heard of it." If it weren't for the Queen Mother's marriage this time, I wouldn't have noticed this person. ”

Empress Cao said in a low voice: "I have taken a little check, he was almost tortured to death by the Chen family when he was a child, but he disappeared from the Zhongguo Mansion after he was ten years old. When it reappeared, General Yunlu, who had been awarded the title of Sanpin by the emperor, was given a fish and dragon bag. Where has he been all these years? What has he done? Why does a mere concubine get the emperor's blue eyes?"

After all, people's energy is limited, Zhaoyang used all his manpower to set up this game with all his might, where is the energy to notice Wu Zhengxiang?

At this time, when she heard Queen Cao talk about it, she was suddenly taken aback and said, "I remember what the queen mother said." On the Queen Mother's birthday, I was surprised to see him come in from outside the palace. It's just that there is something on my mind, and I don't have time to think about it. ”

"Yes, I'm right next to the emperor. The Queen Mother sent someone to say that even the Chen family didn't know where he was serving, and asked the emperor to find someone. Your father specially asked someone to find Wu Guangqi, and when he came back, he went to send him over. ”

"You think, he's just a virtual title, why does the emperor know so much about his movements?"

"Mother, you are suspicious ......"

Princess Zhaoyang had a suspicion in her eyes, could he be?

Looking at her eyes, Empress Cao nodded slowly and said, "I have this doubt, but at the moment it is just a guess, and you need to investigate it carefully." ”

Princess Zhaoyang nodded cautiously and said, "If it is really as the queen mother thinks, we must win this person." ”

"The prince must be keeping an eye on you right now, you have to be careful, don't let him get ahead of you. ”

"Please rest assured that Zhaoyang will do it properly. ”

After having lunch with Queen Cao, Princess Zhaoyang went out of the imperial city, and as soon as she returned to the princess's mansion, the downpour was like water and it rained.

Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, somehow, a hint of foreboding swelled in her heart.

……

Xu Wanzhen finished embroidering the last swastika pattern and put down the needle at hand. After more than a month, I finally got the summer shirt for my grandmother.

Sang Zi picked up his shirt, the tourmaline-colored silk cloth was cool and pleasant, and the golden brilliance faintly revealed with the refraction of the light. The moon-white piping with lifelike pine cranes is vivid and eye-catching, especially suitable for the elderly in summer.

"It's raining heavily today, so Ming'er will send it to her grandmother. Xu Wanzhen smiled, this first tailoring was a good result.

The little girl exclaimed from outside the door: "It's raining so hard, why is the eldest young master here?"

Xu Wenmin took off his coat at the door, Qingmai handed over the Luo scarf, he dusted off the water vapor on his body, and asked with a smile, "Is your young lady here?"

Qingmai curtsied and replied, "Miss is in the middle room." ”

Sang Zi got Xu Wanzhen's order, lifted the curtain and said, "The eldest young master, please come in, carefully suffer the moisture." ”

"It's not in the way, it's very hot this summer, and I'm afraid of a little rain, not to mention that I'm not drenched. Xu Wenmin held the new hot tea and explained with a smile.

Xu Wanzhen looked at him with disgust: "Brother will get married next year, and naturally there will be a sister-in-law to take care of you then." ”

"It's fine. I followed my father to the north and south of the business, and when I missed the dormitory, there were also some meals and open sleeping. I can still withstand this bit of wind and rain. ”

Seeing that she drank hot tea and ate two pieces of rose cake, Xu Wanzhen asked, "Brother is in such a hurry, but is there something?"

Xu Wenmin nodded and said, "My sister said about the restaurant, so I asked the Chinese people to pay attention to the suitable shops in the city, but there was no suitable one for a while." Early this morning, the Chinese man came to me in a hurry and said that there was a store in an excellent location that met our requirements. And the main family was in a hurry to get rid of it, and the price was negotiable, so I hurriedly went to see it for fear of being preempted. ”

Xu Wanzhen drank tea and listened quietly.

"It's a big five-entry mansion, and it's in an excellent location in the Huixun Workshop next to Luoshui. The original owner was the sixth rank of the imperial history, listening to the meaning of the people, as if he had offended someone, and he happened to be old, so he begged the bones to return to his hometown to retire. ”

"I went to see it, and the house occupies half of the alley, and there are alleys and alleys for entering and exiting next to Luoshui on one side. Although it is a house at the moment, our restaurant is not the restaurant of Zuibailou, but it is a bit similar to Tingxiang Pavilion, which is private and quiet. As long as it is slightly changed, a pier will be added for guests to come and go. The back garden is not changed, only the courtyard of the back house is separated to receive guests. ”

Speaking of which, Xu Wenmin drank all the residual tea, his eyes were as bright as stars, and said with a smile: "The place is big enough, and the medical hall where my uncle practices medicine can also be independent, and it will not affect each other at all." ”

Xu Wanzhen asked, "Is there anything wrong with being in such a hurry?" Do you know who he has offended?"

Xu Wenmin lowered his voice and said, "After I came out, I turned back and asked the neighbors. This servant Yushi's surname is Bai, and on the birthday of the Queen Mother, she took the lead in impeaching the abolished prince outside the end gate. After these days, I heard that the emperor has no intention of abolishing the prince at all, he is almost seventy years old, why don't you hurry up and slip away when you see that the situation is wrong?"

I see, Xu Wanzhen nodded. In this way, there is no hindrance, it is just a dispute between the courts, and it will not affect the buyer who takes over.

"Brother came by coincidence, I just received a reply from Aunt Nan early this morning. She was very interested in the restaurant, but insisted on investing in a thousand taels, otherwise she would not provide a health tea recipe, and I was thinking about it. ”

In that case, the girl promised her. Xu Wenmin said with a smile: "It is good that Mr. Ning is willing to contribute the capital." ”

Anyone who does business knows that only when you have the capital will you pay attention to this business. In modern parlance, this is called sunk costs.

"If my sister thinks this house is okay, I will ask my uncle to see it tomorrow. No problem, I put down the deposit and went to Jingzhao Mansion to make a contract. ”
