The night was deep, and the faint light of a few candles flickered and swayed, and a glance at the courtyard showed that the merchants could not see what kind of shrubs were in the black mass of things in the courtyard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Come with me, you guys! There were a lot of people coming this time, and we only packed up four rooms and came out, so you're going to be crowded. ”

Xiuyi is a middle-aged palace maid, wearing a light red palace dress under the reflection of the candlelight, it seems that she is quite beautiful, and a hibiscus hairpin on her head is also a little beautiful.

As soon as he saw it, the merchant didn't like this woman very much. There are too many calculations and shrewdness in her eyes, although Sister Yun is also a sophisticated and calculating person, but she never gives people a dark feeling, but this woman always gives people a hidden and gloomy feeling, and even there are too many white eyes, and there is a trace of cold air between occasional turns.

The merchants glanced at each other, and they all obediently followed, and no one wanted to be arranged next to a stranger who might have a bad heart in this unfamiliar forbidden palace.

Xiuyi pushed open the door of a side room, led a few people into the room, pointed to the bed and said, "You guys squeeze first!" I'll give you another place tomorrow. After finishing speaking, without waiting for a few people to react, they walked straight out.

The merchant looked around at the room where the palace lamp had already been lit, and the four carved wooden beds took up most of the space according to the four corners of the room, and there was a half-person high wooden cabinet at the end of each bed, presumably used to store things, and there was a dressing table in the middle of the bed at each end of the east and west, on which stood a beautifully decorated diamond flower bronze mirror.

Looking at the simple and tidy room, Shang Shang suddenly remembered the dormitory he lived in college, and he was in a trance for a while, but in the dormitory at that time, there was no carved wooden bed with a delicate bed curtain hanging in front of him, but a sturdy iron frame bed with a mattress.

Shaking his head, Shang Shang smiled a little ridiculously, not understanding how he could think of the most simple and happy time in his life, when he only needed to immerse himself in his favorite music every day, and he didn't have to think about the rest of the things, a simple note could make her happy all day.

Ruyi looked at a few people standing in the room, there were a total of twelve people in Yunshuifang, in addition to Shangshang, Ruyi, Xiangnu, Man'er, Linglong, there are Ruoshui, Xianxian, Mingzhu, Caiyi, Yunhua, Qiaoying, Shanrou Seven people, counting, three people can sleep on a bed, it is really a little crowded, but fortunately, this bed is big enough, and it is not summer, not afraid of heat.

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Ruyi said: "Since we have our own room in the house, if the sisters are used to sleeping together, they will freshen up and sleep first, but a bed is at least three people to sleep, so as not to leave no place to sleep in the end." ”

The merchant was interrupted by Ruyi's words, picked a bed by the west end at random, put down his burden in the wooden cabinet at the end of the bed, took a small coat out, prepared to freshen up, looked around the house, and found no such thing as a wooden basin or barrel, and was a little puzzled in his heart, so he took a clean towel and went out of the room.

"Is there something the girl is missing?" There was a little girl in palace clothes standing outside the door, her appearance could not be seen clearly under the faint yellow candlelight, and she was still a little girl who had not grown up when she heard the voice.

"No, I'll see what kind of water is used to clean my face, I want to freshen up and sleep, I'm a little tired after a day's journey." Shang Shang said softly.

"Girl, come with me!" The little girl turned around, took the palace lamp in her hand from the lampstand at the door, and motioned for the merchant to follow her.

Shang Shang nodded, followed her all the way under the corridor, bypassed the adjacent side rooms, and stopped in front of a water room, there were faint human voices and water sounds in the room, Shang Shang suddenly realized, it turned out that there was also a special place for bathing.

Pushed open the door of the water house and entered the house. There were large wooden barrels side by side in the room, and several girls who had come with them were already sitting in the barrels bathing, telling each other some things they had seen and heard and joked about the road.

The merchant stood in the house, because he was not familiar with these people, so he did not squeak, but the little girl took the palace lamp to the lampstand, lit the candle on the shelf, turned to the merchant and said, "Girl, wait a minute, Zhu'er will go and fetch water for the girl." ”

The merchant looked at the back of the little girl who was gone, turned around and put the little clothes and facial towel he was carrying on the shelf next to an empty wooden barrel, and waited quietly for the little girl to return. The girls who didn't know each other on the side were still talking and laughing in low voices, and the merchants couldn't hear what they were saying, and they didn't want to listen to it, so they slowly untied their clothes and prepared to bathe.

After a while, Ruyi followed another little girl into the water room, and when she saw Shang Shang waiting there, she smiled and said, "You are running fast, I called you twice, and you didn't answer me." ”

"After a day of driving, my body is dusty, and my ears are plugged, how can I hear you call me?" The merchant laughed as he hung his untied clothes on the hanger.

The two talked and laughed, and the little girl brought the water, and the few little eunuchs who followed behind them carried large wooden barrels and poured hot water into the waist-deep bath tub. Then he withdrew.

Shang Shang and Ruyi stepped into the barrel, sank down and soaked in the water, sighed comfortably, poured hot water on their bodies, washed away the dust on their bodies, chatted with some gossip without a match, and after some cleaning, they felt refreshed, and did not pay attention to the few women who were still soaking in the water, opened the door of the water room, followed the little girl waiting outside the house back to their own room, and slept quietly.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When the carriage of merchants and others entered the Mingde Gate, a carriage from Luoyang also entered the outer city at the same time, and the people in the carriage turned out to be the golden peony of the peony workshop.

She was dressed in a gorgeous Yunjin palace dress, and people who didn't know thought that this was a noble lady of which family, and the little girl on the side was waiting for her to eat snacks, while adding tea to the cup on the small table in the carriage.

After eating the snack and patting his hands, Jin Peony leaned back on the cushion and closed his eyes to recuperate, but after a while, he irritably opened the curtain and looked at Chang'an Avenue outside the car window.

This time, she will leave Luoyang's business and come to Chang'an, is to save the idea of fighting against the water, these days, the business of the Peony Pavilion plummeted, even Li Qingyu, who has always been good friends with her, also turned to transfer all the official banquets of the official mansion to Yunshuifang, which made her feel still aggrieved, thinking that at the beginning, this Li Qingyu was a frequent visitor to her Peony Workshop, but now Yunshuifang has come out of this businessman, and all of a sudden everyone's eyes have been drawn to the clouds, and the hard work of Golden Peony for many years has been in vain, and the Peony Pavilion has suddenly fallen to the point of a second-rate brothel. How did she swallow this breath?

Official prostitute?! Hum! What a scumbag that is? I even thought I could turn over! What's the show? It's just a bunch of sinners, a pile of mud! This time, in response to the emperor's edict, there are ways to make you invincible!

"Shen Luoyun! This time I'm going to make you a loser! "Golden Peony stared viciously at the sinking twilight outside the window, this prosperous Chang'an City is the place where everything is in ruins!

After turning a corner, the carriage stopped in front of a lane, Jin Peony shook her hand and lowered the curtain, the little girl got out of the car one step ahead of her, took a pedal and put it in front of the car, and stretched out her hand to help Jin Peony out of the car.

Jin Peony looked up at the wooden sign hanging on the fang, straightened her clothes, and walked in, there are still many things waiting for her to do in Luoyang City, this time she came to Chang'an only to stop a little and then go back to Luoyang, so, time is very tight, she has to rush to meet a few people, arrange things properly, so as to be foolproof, if you miss this opportunity, I don't know when there will be such a good opportunity, put the top cards of these Yunshui Fang together so neatly, and take it away from Shen Luoyun's sight.

Jin Peony turned left and right in the middle of the square and walked for a while, stopped in front of a small food shop, looked up at the food shop sign on his head and walked in, a Yunjin palace robe, rich and luxurious, almost illuminated this small restaurant.

"The owner of the golden fang, please!" As soon as the guys in the store saw this Yunjin palace robe, and then looked at the appearance of the golden peony dressed in flowers, they knew that this must be the person who was waiting for Gonggong Liu.

"Hmm." Jin Peony hummed noncommittally, followed behind the guy, and entered the inner courtyard.

There are a few unknown trees planted in the inner courtyard, and some small white flowers are blooming, looking a little gratifying, the golden peony glanced at it absentmindedly, and kept walking forward under his feet.

The man pushed open the door of a side room, and led it inward, Jin Peony raised his foot and stepped in, only to see a person sitting in the room dressed as an internal official, but it was not Gonggong Liu who looked at his age and appearance.

Closed the door with his backhand, Jin Peony was a little suspicious, Liu Gonggong she had seen it many times, and he was the one who went to Luoyang to announce the decree this time, but this young man looked like it, although his face was white and beardless, and he did look like a palace servant, but he was very raw, and he had never seen it.

"Who are you? What about Gonggong Liu? Jin Peony's tone was a little unkind, she hoped that this time the matter would be as secretive as possible, but she didn't want to make a mistake before it started.

"Is the owner of the gold square? Under is the righteous son of Father-in-law Liu, the third child, Father-in-law Liu has not come out of the palace with an official prostitute, if anything happens, the owner of the golden square just tell me, I will tell my godfather. The young chamberlain named Xiao San'er said softly and slowly, and his tone was quite disapproving of Jin Peony's tone.

Golden Peony's face is a little unnatural, Liu Gonggong and her are also old acquaintances, since King Wu took Liu Gonggong to the Peony Pavilion to eat flower wine once, she and Liu Gonggong on the line, one and two times, but also a good relationship, Liu Gonggong is often to the palace outside the decree of the father-in-law, in front of the emperor is very important, in the palace is a lot of means, this time, only please he can be relieved, for this matter, she did not put silver into Liu Gonggong's hands.

"Really? I don't have any big deals, but I have something I want my father-in-law to bring to his old man's house. Jin Peony thought about it, this time the matter was already ready to be sent, even if Gonggong Liu didn't come, he had to give what he should give, so that he would do his best for her.

Jin Peony took out a beautifully embroidered purse from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao San'er, which was bulging with a large ball, which was probably not a small amount. These people are people who have no future, and they will be counted as a lifetime, but money is what they value the most, and when dealing with these people, it is better to directly use silver to smash it directly than to work beauty.

Xiao San'er looked at Jin Peony's hand holding the silver bag, and then he burst into a smile, reached out to take it, pinched it, and smiled deeper, looking at Jin Peony's eyes were also much kinder.

"The owner of the gold square is so polite, Xiao San'er is here to thank the owner of the gold square for my godfather, you can rest assured! The things you give will be done properly for you. ”

I'm sorry, this is to make up for yesterday, it's a real headache, so I didn't change it, I'm sorry everyone.
