At this time, it is already spring, and the peach blossoms in the White Horse Temple are in full bloom.

Bypassing the peach forest, and walking through a bluestone path, I arrived at a quiet courtyard.

Although the small courtyard of the White Horse Temple is a little smaller, the surrounding scenery is pleasant.

Just now, Li An had already instructed the monks to bring the food.

The side rooms of the pilgrims here are separated from those of the monks, especially the small courtyard of the Peach Blossom Forest, and the nobles who are not famous generally do not have the opportunity to live in.

"Tsk, you said you would only need so much silver for a few days." Li An said this unceremoniously in front of the monks, and then said to Xia Ruan, "The wing room of this White Horse Temple is more expensive than the room of Tianzi in Beijing." ”

As soon as these words came out, the monks who were listening to them broke out in a cold sweat.

Xia Ruan pursed his lips: "Then don't live here." ”

"That's not going to work." Li An shook his head and vetoed, "My old man has a bad temper recently, I will definitely be scolded by him when I go back, I might as well live a few days of peace here." Moreover, I have always believed in Buddhism, and I need to meditate well. ”

Xia Ruan almost spit out, Ang Lee actually wanted to eat more food here for a few more days.

"Did you say that we were unlucky to meet those two people today?" After the monk left, Li An showed a tired look, and after speaking, he glanced at Xiao Jiudao, who was sitting on the side, "Why did the third young master come here today?" I thought you'd been busy lately, after all, what did my old man do for lately...... It's too busy. ”

Xiao Jiu looked at Li An with a calm expression and said softly, "I'm not busy." Just feel free to come out and walk around. ”

After Li Ang heard this, he almost shouted.

He simply lay on the table and looked at Xiao Jiu, and then at Xia Ruan: "Cousin, you said that you and the third young master, who is more powerful in chess?" You didn't even see Li Tu's face just now, it was as black as a fast charcoal. However, cousin, you are really very good, even my father praised Li Tu's good chess skills, but I didn't expect you to hide it deeply, tsk, next time you and my father try it. ”

Xia Ruan looked at Li An and smiled helplessly: "What about my cousin's joke?" I'm terrible at chess. ”

She was reluctant to play chess with Xiao Jiu. Because she played chess with him and never won. And this man will not show mercy either.

It's not that she's afraid of losing, but she doesn't like the feeling of being in the hands of others.

"Yes." Li An thought for a moment, then covered his stomach, "I'm so hungry." Why hasn't it come yet? ”

He looked around. Then said softly. "You wait for me, I'll go see why the food hasn't been delivered yet."

Ang Lee's temperament is the opposite of his name, Li Changfeng gave Ang Lee such a name. It is to hope that he will be safe and peaceful in his life, and even if he is uneasy, at least he can be quieter.

However, the truth is completely opposite to what Li Changfeng hoped.

Li An can't be quiet for a moment, and he will do it immediately when he thinks of something, so sometimes, Li Changfeng will helplessly say to Xia Ruan: "Why didn't I name him Li Duodong in the first place." ”

After Li An said this, he ran out of the courtyard without thinking about it, and ran towards the fasting room.

Xia Ruan was a little speechless.

The folk customs of Daqin are quite open.

At this time, Xia Ruan was still followed by Du Ruo and Du Lan, and it was okay to sit here with Xiao Jiu.

On the contrary, it was a few small guys who followed Xiao Jiu, who couldn't lower their heads any longer, and their expressionless faces were extremely serious.

"Does the third lady want to buy the land in Xicheng?" Xiao Jiu waited for a while before saying lightly, his voice low, "Is it convenient to speak?" ”

Xia Ruan was stunned, glanced at Du Ruo and Du Lan, and the two quickly understood what Lu Dao meant, and slowly retreated outside the courtyard gate.

The little guy beside Xiao Jiu also retreated.

They stood not far away, and although they could not hear what the people in the courtyard were saying, they could see the situation in the courtyard.

When the people around him retreated, Xiao Jiu continued to say softly, "A few days ago, the Nan family seemed to be interested in the land of Xicheng, not only the Nan family, but also the Zhao family. ”

Xia Ruan frowned slightly when he heard this, revealing a stunned expression.

In the previous life, everyone in Xicheng was not interested, especially the Nan family and the Zhao family, I heard that the people living there were ordinary people, and they were not interested in getting contaminated. At that time, with the help of Liu Changyuan, she bought more than 100 acres of land at one time, and later sold part of it and built a restaurant. In the beginning, the business of the restaurant was not very good. But then ......

Xia Ruan had to admire, Liu Changyuan could see through this opportunity at that time, otherwise she would not have ruthlessly bought the land over there.

But now—

She thought about it and felt that she shouldn't have shown any flaws, why did it become like this?

Xia Ruan thought for a while before looking at Xiao Jiu: "Where did the Third Young Master start with this?" ”

"The relationship between the emperor and the queen mother is almost good." Xiao Jiu said this sentence with a smile, and the whole person looked gentle and elegant, "The Queen Mother believes in Buddhism." ”

There were some things he didn't need to say too clearly.

Xia Ruan was slightly stunned, could it be that this matter was going to be advanced? It shouldn't be like this......

In the past, the prosperity of the West City was also because of the Queen Mother's unintentional words, the Queen Mother said that the West is the realm of Elysium, but the West City in Beijing is too barren. She just said unintentionally when she was seriously ill, but the emperor remembered it in his heart. At that time, the emperor didn't think about it, so he started to do it. Many dignitaries and nobles also began to move to Xicheng, this period of time everyone can not figure out the emperor's meaning, some are still a little worried, and then the queen mother's words came out, the people in the capital are at ease, and slowly many businessmen also began to come and go to Xicheng.

The Queen Mother's unintentional words made the existence of Xicheng more prosperous than Beicheng. But this should have been what the Queen Mother said before she died, could it be that she said it in advance now?

Xia Ruan was a little puzzled, and couldn't understand the truth in this.

Xia Ruan pondered for a while before saying, "I'm not interested in the land over there, and I don't plan to buy it, and ...... You also know that my land in Danyang County has made me almost as much as I can, and I ......"

"I didn't say that the third lady wanted to buy the land in Xicheng." Xiao Jiu was silent for a moment. said gently, "But Concubine An's fetus seems to be unstable, has the third lady heard of it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Ruan couldn't say a word in shock.

Things in the palace have always been taboo.

But the person in front of her told her that these seemed to be as plain as selling vegetables for a few pennies, very similar to his previous life.

In the past, this person was like this, and when she asked about the affairs of the court, he did not shy away from telling her.

Therefore, everyone said that Xiao Shaocheng was unfathomable, and wanted to hear the news from his mouth that he wanted to know the Tao. It's like wanting to see snow in June. There is simply no possibility.

Xia Ruan felt a little suffocated, she took a deep breath, and tried not to look at the young man in front of her: "This has nothing to do with me." ”

That person is so eye-catching, she can't help but be drawn to it.

Once upon a time. And so it is.

Xiao Jiu had a hint of urgency in his eyes. "But Miss Three. Since I don't care about the affairs of Xicheng, then I don't have to be strong. ”

When Xia Ruan heard this, he couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at the person in front of him.

The surroundings seemed to be still.

Those eyes like black jade. It seemed to be flashing with dazzling streamers, Xia Ruan couldn't find any words to describe the delicacy of the young man in front of her, she was very similar to stretching out her hand to cover the young man's eyes. Perhaps only in this way would she not be attracted to this person again.

"Actually...... I ......" Xia Ruan was speechless for a while.

She looked away again.

If she wants to rob Xicheng with the Nan family or the Zhao family according to her current financial resources, then she doesn't have such strength at all, although she has some silver in her hands these days, but compared with these two, it is far from enough.

Xiao Jiu also reminded her just now that Concubine An's fetus was unstable.

In fact, there are some things that need not be said too clearly, if Concubine An has a miscarriage, then Concubine An's status will definitely not be as good as the current water nobles. Moreover, when she thought that she heard the words of Qin Qingnan and Mo Yan that day, she had to think about it a little more. Although the affairs in the palace have nothing to do with her, Mo Yan seems to have a strong hostility towards the Li family and the Xia family.

If it is said that Mo Yan does not like the Li family, then it may be possible to say that it is in the past, after all, the Li family has always been a high authority over the years.

But you hate the Xia family? And for what?

After all, she and her mother have not been in Kyoto for less than a year.

Xia Ruan's brows furrowed when he thought of this.

Xiao Jiu's every word seemed to be answering for her, the matter of Xicheng.

If Concubine An really had an accident, then the land and shops in Danyang County would be considered useless, and how could she stand firm on her own in the future.

Xia Ruan thought for a while before he said slowly, "I still want to buy the land in Xicheng." ”

She was seen thoroughly by this person in her last life, and it is still the same in this life.

Xiao Jiu tilted his head, and his voice was soft: "The distant nephew of the old lady of the Nan family is the husband of Miss Wei Er, although this Miss Wei Er is a concubine, she has been a brother and sister to Young Master Wei Liu over the years. A few years ago, Sixth Young Master Wei said in front of outsiders that if someone bullied Second Miss Wei in the future, it would be tantamount to not giving him face. Sixth Young Master Wei is a descendant, and he is also the favorite one of Wei Guogong, although he is not as glorious as the prince, but who can say exactly what will happen in the future. Now that Sixth Young Master Wei has made a family relationship with my ninth sister, after all, he has only set a family matter, and many things will change. The Nanjia is more than just a merchant household......"

"The aunt of Zhao Nanke of the Zhao family is the niece of Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, although this aunt is also a concubine, but her status now is not low." Xiao Jiu had a faint smile in his eyes, "Mrs. Shangshu received a silver ticket of 10,000 taels of silver from Zhao Nanke on Chinese New Year's Eve. Two months ago, this Zhao Nanke had become a frequent visitor to the Shangshu House of the Ministry of Officials. It is said that Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials had intended to accept Zhao Nanke as her adopted son at that time, but later this matter was not mentioned again, Zhao Nanke's eyes were not only here, his eyes were to see a higher place. ”

After Xiao Jiu finished speaking, his slender and white fingers held the blue and white porcelain tea cup on the table, and it was this small action that made Xia Ruan's thoughts completely confused. (To be continued......)
