Chapter 82: Reaching the Kingdom of Qingluo [Second Watch]
After two days of traveling, Nangong Yi and Cai Wei finally arrived at Yanjing, the capital of Qingluo Kingdom.
When they arrived, it was not yet dawn, Cai Wei and Nangong Yi took the white-haired tiger into the space, and at this time, the three buns had already gotten up, and they were eating the fried cake that Cai Wei bought yesterday.
"Hungry?"
Cai Wei touched the children's little brains distressedly: "Wait, mother, I'm going to cook, what do you want to eat?" Is it OK to roll noodles? Do you want to eat hot soup or jajangmyeon? Vegetable noodles and fruit noodles are available, what do you want to eat, my mother will make it for you. ”
It's too early to go to see Xiangyun and Wanyan Jingchen now, and there is bound to be a banquet tonight, I don't know when I will be able to sleep, so it's better to quickly solve the problem of eating, and take advantage of the fact that the sun has not come out and get some sleep quickly.
"Mother, I eat fried noodles." Mingzhu answered for the two brothers.
Jin'er doesn't care much about eating, and Yu'er is an easy-going person who eats anything, so every time she asks them what they eat, she just needs to ask Mingzhu.
It just so happens that Cai Wei also likes to eat hand-rolled noodles the most, strong, put on some meat sauce or egg sauce, cut some cucumber shreds, put a stack of small pickles, and make fried noodles to eat, the best is delicious, and it is not greasy.
"I'm going to hunt pheasants to make meat sauce, and you roll the noodles."
When rolling noodles, the stronger the noodles are more vigorous, so Cai Wei left the task of rolling noodles to Nangong Yi, and ran to the forest to hunt pheasants.
"Pick some more mushrooms and come back, it's the best to make mushroom meat stew, and pick up two eggs and come back, making an egg marinade." Nangong Yi instructed.
In fact, their family can't eat three kinds of marinated seeds at all, but Changmei and Brother Parrot can eat them, and the small two have an amount of food against the sky, and I really don't know where they have eaten all those foods.
Before dawn, the family had already settled breakfast, Cai Wei ate a whole bowl of fried noodles, some support, then moved to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, by the way, the remaining half of the pheasant made into smoked chicken, and kept it for later.
Nangong Yi went to sort out the gifts for Yan Jingchen and his wife later, there are not many gifts, but they are all treasures that have nowhere to buy if they have money.
For example, two 500-year-old ginseng plants have already grown arms and legs, and they are about to become sperm; The two colorful pearl shirts are worn by the craftsmen of the Treasure Pavilion with thousands of beads of uniform size in the space, which are warm in winter and cool in summer, which are rare treasures; The colored satin woven by four horses of silk is as thin as a cicada's wings, as light as cooking smoke, and it is as cool as nothing to wear on the body in summer; There is also a set of jade bowls and chopsticks, high-quality jadeite, turquoise and green, carved exquisitely, it is a good thing that can not be bought with silver!
After tidying up, the couple went to sleep in the bedroom, and the three buns went outside to play under the leadership of Changmei, so as not to affect the rest of their parents
The capital of the Great Jin Dynasty
Soon after the city gate was opened, Liu Xi's convoy entered the city with a hula la, he was anxious to deal with his own industry, he only stayed in Qingxian for two days, and after finishing his errands, he rushed back day and night.
At present, Liu Xi plans to get rid of his properties in the capital as much as possible, exchange them for silver, and then leave the capital with the silver and live in a place where no one knows him.
Cai Wei promised him that he would get a new household registration for him, so that he could start a new life with a new identity, he thought about it, he would go far, and then find a gentle and virtuous wife, and give birth to a bunch of lively and lovely children, so that he would have his own home, and life would be meaningful.
As for money or something, he has always been a thing outside of his body, and he doesn't care much about it, and the reason why he worked hard to make money before was because his status as a eunuch made him too depressed and at a loss, so he thought of doing business through guò to realize his value.
Now, he is a complete man, can marry a wife and have children, and has a complete and beautiful family, so it doesn't matter if he makes money or not, even if he doesn't do anything, he only accompanies his wife and children every day to enjoy life, and the silver he earned before is enough for him to support his wife and children for a lifetime. Even if it is not enough to spend, with his ability, it is easy to make money to support his family.
After entering the city, he hurriedly went back to Bishui Villa, had breakfast, changed his clothes, and hurried into the palace, he had already done what Cai Wei had told him, Li Sheng had been imprisoned, and he couldn't get out within ten years, and he felt the need to report this matter to her.
Liu Xi is a eunuch, and there is no need to hand over a sign or anything to enter and exit the palace, and it is very convenient to enter and exit.
After entering the palace, he came to the Shouxian Palace where Cai Wei lived, Yang Yong saw him, hurriedly greeted him, and said: "It's unfortunate that Gonggong Liu came, His Majesty and Niangniang can't see guests." ”
Nangong Yi often disappears, and it is impossible to hide this matter from everyone, so he has already explained to Yang Yong that once he and Cai Wei are no longer there, no matter who comes, they will all be blocked back, even if the Emperor Taishang and Cai Wei's parents come, they can't tell the truth.
Although Yang Yong was nagging, his mouth was firm, and he didn't have to worry about him getting the word out, so he gave him this important task.
Yang Yong had also heard some rumors about the Empress Mother's Shinto before, and had also seen the strange thing that the emperor disappeared for no reason, so he had long been accustomed to it, and he just did what the emperor ordered.
Liu Xi didn't see Cai Wei, he was blocked back, so he had to go out of the palace.
After going out, he planned to go to the cafeteria first, when he went to Qingxian, he instructed the restaurant to start business on the tenth day of the first month, in the previous life, the annual leave of the major units was also put on the tenth day of the first month, and after the tenth day of the first month, they all went to work, so he continued the rules of the previous life, so that several shops under his name began to open on the tenth day of the first month, and now it is eleven, and his shops should all be open, so he is ready to go over to see the business situation during the first month.
The low-key and luxurious carriage stopped in front of the cafeteria, the groom put down the stool and asked Liu Xi to get out of the car, just when the car started, Liu Xi accidentally saw Shen Juhua getting off a car, she had a sad face, and she looked like she had been wronged.
In his impression, Shen Juhua has always been energetic and energetic, every time she sees her big round eyes, her eyes are always so distinct, whether it is happy or angry, she is always full of energy and high morale, as if she has endless energy, but now she has lost her former brilliance and has become gloomy.
After getting out of the car, Shen Juhua lowered her head, drooped her shoulders, and accompanied by Xiaokui, she went to the direction of the female guest in despair, and he didn't even see her a few steps away.
What's wrong with this, why is she upset? Did you already know that her scumbag was in prison in Qingxian? But it shouldn't be, after dealing with her scum that day, he went back to the capital, and it can be said that he is non-stop, day and night, even if it is a messenger, it is impossible for him to be faster, so it is impossible for her to know about her scumbag!
Liu Xihu looked at her back suspiciously, and couldn't think of anything that could make her, who had always been happy, so sad. I saw that her back was slightly bent, and she was also procrastinating when she walked, and she didn't have the cheerful appearance of the past at all.
"Fushun, go find a mother-in-law who can speak well, go in, follow the young lady in front, and see what happened to her? Why not be happy? Liu Xi called his personal servant and commanded.
The little guy agreed, and a cigarette went.
"Oh, isn't this Gonggong Liu? It's a real blessing. ”
An abrupt voice sounded, and when Liu Xi turned around, he saw a man in his forties, wearing a cotton robe trimmed with Hunan brocade and a rabbit skin coat on the outside, and was greeting him.
"Master Huo, I'm glad to be there!" Liu Xi retracted his thoughts and arched his hand to Huo Qi, who was talking to him.
Huo Qinai is a merchant in Beijing, the second uncle of Huo Yuan, the richest man in the Great Jin Kingdom, after Huo Yuan left the Great Jin Kingdom, he took away the part of the property that belonged to his family, and the rest of the property was divided among the clansmen, Huo Qi also got a part, although the portion is a lot, the Huo family is still a big family in the capital, but compared with the former Huo family, there is no comparison.
"Father-in-law Liu, there is just something to discuss with Father-in-law Liu, but I happened to see you today, I said how did I have a good dream yesterday, it should be on my father-in-law, I don't know if my father-in-law is willing to appreciate his face, give me time to explain this matter in the next moment?"
Huo Qi's attitude was very polite, without Huo Yuan and Huo Xianfei's Huo family, they no longer had any status in the capital, they were just an insignificant merchant, and even the identity of the imperial merchant was taken away, so Huo Qi no longer dared to put on a score like before, especially when he saw the powerful, he almost lowered himself to the dust.
It just so happened that Liu Xi had nothing to do now, so he said casually: "Okay, Master Huo, please!" ”
The two exchanged politeness and went to the men's area of the cafeteria.
It turned out that Huo Qi heard that Liu Xi was going to sell his bicycle factory and cafeteria, so he moved his mind and wanted to take over these two big profitable businesses, but he didn't have so much capital, so he came to Liu Xi to discuss with a salivating face.
He planned to pay a part of the deposit to Liu Xi first, and when he made money in the future, he would slowly repay the remaining part, in today's words, it was an installment.
Liu Xi did not approve of this way of trading, because he planned to leave the capital and never come again, if Huo Qi could not pay the full amount, he would have to return to the capital once or twice, and Huo Qi's ability to do business was not very strong, he was too heavy on profits to support a big deal.
Therefore, after weighing it, he politely refused Huo Qi's request and politely sent him out.
Huo Qi was rejected, his plan to make a fortune was destroyed, he was very angry, he returned home in a hurry, and happened to meet Huo Qingyin, the daughter of Huimen'er, Huo Qingyin saw his father's unfortunate look, and couldn't help but ask a few words.
Huo Qi said angrily: "It's not a dead eunuch surnamed Liu, I heard that he was going to get rid of a few shops in his hands, my father wanted to buy it, but the silver on hand was not enough, I wanted to pay a part in advance, and the rest would be paid to him when it was profitable, then I knew that the dead eunuch actually rejected me, and didn't save me any face, I was really angry!" ”
Huo Qingyin is eighteen years old this year, married the prince of Fuguo and became a concubine, because Jing Shizi's wife could not give birth, but she gave birth to two chubby sons in a row, so the mother is expensive with her son, she is very shameful in the Fuguo Mansion, and even Mrs. Shizi has to avoid her three points, although she is not Mrs. Shizi, but she is no worse than Mrs. Shizi.
Hearing his father's nagging, Huo Qingyin said with feeling: "That Liu Xi relies on himself to be the henchman of the queen's mother, and he has always been in the eyes of no one, not to mention that my father is a small businessman, even our prince He doesn't pay attention to him, and my father also knows that our prince has suffered several losses from him." ”
Jing Shizi still dotes on Huo Qingyin, so she doesn't hide things from her, so Huo Qingyin knows about Jing Shizi and Liu Xi's discord.
Hearing his daughter say this, Huo Qi became even more angry, and scolded: "This slave raised by a son of a bitch, a profiteer, and a pickled thief, deserves to be a eunuch, phew!" ”
Huo Qingyin saw that his father was angry, and persuaded: "Dad, don't scold, what's the use of being quick to speak for a while, beware of the ears on the wall, then Liu Xike is the queen's person, and it's easy to fix a small merchant for my father." ”
Huo Qidao: "What am I afraid of, we barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, it annoys me, and brings out his little pickled matter, when the time comes, it will be strange if the emperor doesn't cut off his head?" Hum! ”
As soon as she heard this, Huo Qingyin's heart immediately moved, the prince hated Liu Xi the most, if she could catch Liu Xi's pigtail and knock down Liu Xi, the prince would definitely pamper herself more, and when the time came, she would definitely take the opportunity to kill the sao tuotuo who had just entered the mansion.
Therefore, he hurriedly asked: "Does Dad know any secret of that Liu Xi, or does he have any handle of that Liu Xi in his hand?" ”
Huo Qiqi snorted and said: "When Shicai's father saw the eunuch at the door of the cafeteria, the eunuch looked at a little daughter-in-law with a thief's eyebrows, and his eyes were straight, and he also instructed the little maid around him to find someone to inquire why the little daughter-in-law was unhappy. ”
When Huo Qingyin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: Daddy, do you know which little daughter-in-law he looks at? ”
Huo Qidao: "I don't know which one, anyway, I went to his cafeteria to eat." ”
Huo Qingyin said again: "Then, what kind of clothes does that woman wear?" What kind of jewelry to bring? How many people are around? Is it tall or short, fat or thin, do you remember daddy? ”
Huo Qi: "Dad didn't pay much attention to it, but I just remembered that she was wearing a crane with a big red feather crepe face and white fox skin outside, and there was only one girl by her side." ”
"Great, that's enough!" Huo Qingyin smiled predictively: "This is good news, if the prince knows about it, he will be happy." ”
After that, I called her henchman Ruyi, and asked her to rush to the cafeteria to see who Liu Xi's little daughter-in-law was, and she must inquire about who her surname is and where she lives.
Ruyi took the order and hurried to the cafeteria
space
Cai Wei and Nangong Yi woke up, it was close to noon at this time, they got up and made lunch for the children, today's lunch was very simple, not as laborious as the barbecue that day, only a few pancakes, fried some bean sprouts, garlic sprouts and eggs, tore off most of the smoked chicken in the morning, and ate it with smoked chicken.
Rao is so simple, but the children still eat very deliciously, especially Brother Parrot and Changmei, who almost fought over the idea of smoked chicken, and then Cai Wei promised to buy them something delicious at the bazaar in Qingluo Country for a while, and they quieted down.
After lunch, Cai Wei took the children to take a nap, leaving Nangong Yi to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and clean the table.
Actually, he really wanted to make love with his daughter-in-law, but his daughter-in-law knew about his problem and warned him that he was not allowed to touch her today, and when the children were asleep, he asked him to take her to the market in Qingluo Kingdom.
Nangong Yi also wanted to know the customs and economic situation of Qingluo Kingdom, so he suppressed the ** in his heart. Anyway, the daughter-in-law is her own, so it doesn't matter if she goes to bed late.
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, I went to the stream to fetch water, took a cold shower, and washed all the hot **.
After washing, he went back to change his clothes, and just as the children were also asleep, Nangong Yi went out of the space with Cai Wei and went shopping on the streets of Qingluo Kingdom!
The streets of Qingluo Kingdom are completely different from the streets of Dajin, the architectural style of the shops on both sides of the street is very peculiar, and the people's dress is completely different from that of Dajin.
