The sky is sparsely snowing, and the coldest time of the year is approaching. In the Tusu Winery on Xizhi Street, Ling Qi was baking charcoal fire in the room and waiting for news.

I saw a girl wearing a black coat and walked in, and after entering the house, she pushed away the snow cap and patted the thin snow on her body. The guy was a little strange, and still stepped forward to greet him, the girl waved her hand and said, "Don't greet me, I don't buy wine, it was Song Xiaodian who asked me to come over to find your housekeeper young master."

Ling Qi heard the voice inside, so he opened the thick curtain and walked out, "Is the girl looking for me?" I'm the shopkeeper here."

The girl looked up at him, very young, wearing a brown cotton robe, covered with a black fox fur with long shoulders, and looked lazy and unconcerned, but not like a shopkeeper, but like a boy who often visited them.

"Don't make trouble, I have something urgent to find your shopkeeper, please ask him to come out"

Ling Qi didn't speak, only squinted his eyes and looked at the guy, and the guy hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Girl, this is indeed our shopkeeper, he has been in charge of this winery for more than two years, if you have something to say, just tell him, he is in charge of everything here......"

"Hmm," the girl nodded.

"Song Xiaodian asked me to tell you, you haven't seen that Ge Shenling for two days, and you've been living in our garden for the past few days."

"What is your garden?" Ling Qi asked.

The girl glanced at him, "It's the first Longxiang Pavilion in the first two streets on the left turn, Childe hasn't been to it and hasn't heard of it, right?" ”

Ling Qi said with a smile: "Naturally, I have heard that the most beautiful, gentle, and lovely girls in the whole capital are all there, so Master Ge is reluctant to come out!" ”

"He has a long room, he will come when it is empty, Xiaoxiao girl is specially serving him, if you want to find him, he is sure to be there from afternoon to evening, Xiaoxiao's birthday he bought ten tables of flowers and wine to celebrate"

"Okay, I have to go, I shouldn't have come to report the news, Song Xiaodian was hit by a carriage yesterday, and now he is lying on the bed and can't get on or off the ground, so he has to take this ......trip for him."

"Thank you, girl......" Ling Qi still said lazily.

"Tian'er ......" he called the man, and the man sighed and gave a few taels of silver.

"Please take these, two taels of them will be given to Song Xiaodian to recuperate, it will be cold, and the rest will be hired by the girl."

The girl looked at him, "Thank you so much!" He took the silver bag and turned around and left, and when he got to the door, he came back and said, "His room is in the last room in the north corridor upstairs, and the door number says Roufang!" ”

"Miss Xie"

In the house number Roufang room, two large pots of silver charcoal are burned warmly, the fragrant wind smokes into the limbs, and it can't help but make people's eyes and bones crisp, Ge Bangzhi is lying on the beauty, Xiaoxiao is pinching his shoulders and beating his legs for him, talking delicately, that Ge Bangzhi doesn't open his eyes, only responds without a word, where does he care about what Xiaoxiao says, he just likes to listen to this soft language.

"Ge Ye, did you agree to what people said? If you don't come then, and I will be compared to Miao's relatives again, that person will be sad......"

"Uh-huh, got it"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"You go and see who is so short-sighted, come and knock on the door at this time," Ge Bangzhi said to Xiaoxiao with displeasure on his face.

Xiaoxiao went to open the door, and saw that it was a father-in-law, Xiaoxiao had been in Fengyue Field for many years, first, he knew some clothing grades, and secondly, he knew that anyone who could enter and exit Longxiang Pavilion would not be too small.

"Girl, please let me," Xiaoxiao had to turn sideways and let him in.

The eunuch walked in front of Ge Bangzhi, bowed a little and said: "Ge Shenling is very interested, this house is well decorated, and the girl is also well chosen, but it's a pity that our family is disappointed, but I want to ask the staff to move the big car and go on a trip." ”

Ge Bangzhi's face was gloomy and sunny, full of suspicion, this father-in-law didn't recognize it, but when he heard this talk, he saw that his grade was not low, so he had to nod and say, "I don't know where my father-in-law wants to take Ge Mou?" ”

"Ge Shenling, forgive me, my family can't say, there are nobles who want to see you, let's go quickly, I'm afraid there will be trouble if it's late......"

Ge Bangzhi couldn't help slandering his heart, but he didn't dare not go after all, so he got up and put on his robe and boots.

"Please ask your father-in-law to lead the way"

Ge Bangzhi followed him up to the third floor, the third floor was the most expensive private room in Longxiang Pavilion, the same big place, there were thirty-six rooms on the second floor, and the third floor was only divided into two large rooms. The father-in-law took him to the door of the room on the east side, "Please wait" and then he went in slowly, after a while, Ge Bangzhi was already impatient to wait, and the father-in-law shook out and said: "Our master said please go in......"

Ge Bangzhi was depressed in his chest, but he didn't dare to attack, but he was even more confused.

Entering the gate, I saw several layers of lights and shadows hanging down like a dream, the color was milky white, silver gray, clouds and smoke halos were layered, and the candles were brilliant everywhere, but no one was seen. Then bypass an eight-fan sea sunrise ivory carved screen, thinking that to the inner room, but only to see dozens of pots of orchids on the ground, a few bushes of green bamboo lining behind, behind the bamboo curtain silk curtain cascading low, as if coming to the fairyland. Bypassing the bamboo, I saw two large vats, in which there were red carp and koi playing in the water, the hookah curtain hung down to the ground all around, and the bamboo curtain of gold silk rattan and red lacquer hung high and low, and no one was seen.

Na Ge Bangzhi vaguely guessed in his heart that the owner of this house must be extraordinary, so he couldn't help but look solemn and respectful.

After another Hunan concubine bamboo curtain, I came to a magnificent courtyard, with a golden beast face and a colorful mantle. A gentleman in a fancy costume stood in front of the window with his back to him, as if admiring the flying snow outside the window. I saw him wearing a royal blue Seiko embroidered brocade robe, gold and silver thread embroidered with yellow satin long shoulders, wearing a jade belt around his waist, and hanging five-color silk silk.

Ge Bangzhi said with a long sigh: "I don't know what is the important matter for the noble man to call me here?" ”

The young man turned around slowly, only to see that he had a slender face, prominent eyebrows, eyes like cold stars, and a golden crown on his head.

"Chen Ge Bangzhi has seen His Royal Highness the Prince," he saluted again.

"Take a seat," said the prince.

In a blink of an eye, the little eunuch brought a chair and placed it on the left hand side of the prince's seat.

"I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned his ministers to come ......"

"It's just a trivial matter, I heard that you want to take a concubine again?" Na Ge Bangzhi was shocked when he heard this, how could the prince even know such a thing.

"I don't know if Your Highness has misheard, but the minister has no intention of doing so."

"I think so, what kind of girl don't you have in this Longxiang Pavilion, why do you have to marry home?"

Ge Bangzhi wiped his sweat and said: "The minister is ashamed...... The minister went back today and left the room here, and he didn't dare to come again......"

"Huh? …… No, you continue to wrap it, don't let that Xiaoxiao girl break her heart, only one thing, whether it's true or not, Miss Guo's family, please withdraw the marriage! You don't have to ask for a dowry, how much is the shortfall, I'll make up for it, although Miss Guo is good, after all, she is young, how can she have a variety of girls here, please forget her in the future! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, you must be"

"Be clear. How don't you dare, how to be sure? ”

Ge Bangzhi's nose was already oozing beads of sweat, and he didn't dare to wipe it at the moment, but just lowered his head and said: "That's not actually a dowry, it's just a gift to her, presumably the Guo family also misunderstood, since it's a gift to see the gift, how can there be a reason to come back, let alone let His Royal Highness fill the gap for me, this is not daring, as for the certainty, the minister must have forgotten her cleanly, and never think about ......it again."

"Well, you can ...... Just do it, and there you go! ”

At this time, a son walked out from behind the thin bamboo curtain in another scene, looked at his back and said angrily: "Such a person is actually in the third rank, it can be seen that this officialdom is really mixed......

The prince said lightly, "Don't worry, I have a way to treat him in the future......"

Feng Xiao arched his hand and said, "Your Highness Xie has made a righteous move!" ”

"What's this? Can you break the marriage contract on you? The prince asked.

"Who did Auntie set for you?"

Feng Xiao said with disdain: "Not yet, I will definitely retreat, but she is no one else, it is Ling Han's sister, Ling Fen ......"

"What did you say?" The prince suddenly stood up from his seat.
