Chapter Seventy-Four: Rushing to Chang'an
Shang Shang slept very soundly this night, let go of the worries hanging in her heart, coupled with the hard work of the day, made her sleep rare and heavy, and she didn't even have a dream. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When it was dark, Shang Shang woke up slowly, there was no palm lamp in the room, and in the faint light shining in from the window, Shang Shang vaguely saw a person sitting not far from the bed.
After clearing his somewhat dry throat, the merchant said with some difficulty: "Ruyi, can you pour me a glass of water?" ”
The figure hesitated, but walked over to the table, poured a glass of water, and walked over to the merchant and handed it to her.
The merchant took the teacup and poured it down in a sip in a hurry, sighed comfortably and at the same time found that the hand that handed the cup did not seem to be as slender and boneless as a woman, and looked up at the glimmer of light outside the window, and saw Li Ke, the king of Wu, staring at her with an unpredictable face.
Shang Shang gasped and thought to himself: This Li Ke and Li Mo are really brothers, and they both have a hobby of watching people sleep!
In an instant, she woke up, King Wu was here, she should salute, the merchant hurriedly lifted the thin quilt and got up, glad that he didn't take off his clothes, just lay down with his clothes, and finally avoided going naked, if she was not dressed in front of Li Ke, it was better to kill her.
Standing on the ground next to the bed, the merchant saluted King Wu with some embarrassment: "See His Royal Highness King Wu." ”
In the dim light, he couldn't see the expression on Shang Shang's face clearly, this discovery made Li Ke a little displeased, and when he heard that she was sick, he didn't let the palace maid tell her to get up, and he personally came to her room to see her, and he sat for more than an hour, and saw that the sky was dark before she woke up.
"No courtesy."
Li Ke's emotionless flat voice made the businessman a little confused, she got up and stood on the side, she really couldn't think of anything great about Li Ke coming to see her at this time, could it be that what happened to Tie Le's request for gifts? Thinking of this, the merchant couldn't help but change his face.
"Someone! Palm lamp. Li Ke waited for a long time, but did not see any movement from the merchants, and finally called out impatiently.
The little yellow door waiting outside the door answered, came into the house and took out the fire fold in his arms, shook it, and lit the palace lamp on the lampstand, a soft and yellowish light suddenly spread in the room, and the merchants under the lamp hung their heads slightly, and their eyelashes like feather fans cast two crescent-like shadows on their faces.
As if seeing what Shang Shang was worried about, Li Ke pondered for a moment and said, "This king is here to ask when Shang Shang girl will have time to perform songs and dances for this king's mother. ”
Originally, Li Ke never needed to run in person for this matter, but for some reason, since that Hu Luge begged for gifts, Li Ke wanted to come and see it in person, and always felt that she knew the news, and she would be sad in her heart, thinking of her sad look, Li Ke was a little inexplicably unhappy, such a flying woman should not show such a sad face.
Hearing that Li Ke was here for this, the merchant couldn't help but complain a little while breathing a sigh of relief, these royal people really didn't relax for a moment, and she didn't even slow down her strength! I can't wait for her to prepare for the next song and dance! Does this still make people live?
"His Royal Highness King Wu came to Changyin Yuan in person, it is really an honor for the businessmen, and when the businessmen rest for two days, they can perform a dance for Concubine Yang." Although he secretly slandered himself in his heart, the businessman did not dare to show this emotion on his face, but still smiled and replied with neither humility nor arrogance.
"So good, the merchant girl will have a good rest, and after three days, the king will wait for the girl to come at the concubine's place." After Li Ke finished speaking softly, he looked deeply at Shang Shang's slightly drooping face, as if he wanted to carve her into his heart.
"Your Highness, it's getting late, it's time to go back to the dormitory." The little yellow door standing on the side reminded in a low voice that King Wu had been sitting in this girl's room for a long time, and if it was too late today, it would be difficult to explain if he didn't go back.
"Well, let's go!" Li Ke reluctantly withdrew his gaze, but seeing that she was fine, he also understood that the prince must have given her the news, so he didn't have to worry about it anymore. After glancing at the merchant again, Li Ke left Changyin Yuan with the little yellow door and shook it step by step.
"Slave and maid send it to Your Highness." The merchant shouted softly behind Li Ke.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The evening sunset still hangs in the west and refuses to set, and the clouds on the horizon are also dyed crimson by the red sunset, obliquely sticking to the sky, like the blushing face of a woman in the boudoir.
Li Mo stood in the study of the Prince's Mansion in Luoyang, looking at the sunset outside the window without making a sound, and on a small strip of cloth in his hand, there were a few lines of small characters written on it, and when he looked closely, it was the news from Li Zhi from Chang'an.
The news said that Hu Luge begged for a merchant in front of Li Shimin, which made him extremely angry. The merchant was a divine being in his heart that could not be touched, and it was especially unbearable for him that the woman he cared for and regarded as a treasure was now turned into a lowly commodity in the mouth of another man!
Since he left the Zhaoyang Palace, he had never set foot in the palace again, even if he was leaving the palace in Luoyang, he refused to take a step, but today he was wondering: Is this decision a mistake?
"Huluge is it?" Li Mo clenched the strip of cloth in his hand, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his cold eyes.
"Hiko, is there any news from the girl's side?" Li Mo asked without looking back.
"Back to the Lord, there is no change around the girl, the palace maid who combed the girl's hair last time has been sent away, and the girl is fine now." Li Yan appeared silently behind Li Mo in gray clothes, bowing his head and half-kneeling.
"That's good, prepare the horse, I'm going to Chang'an." Li Mo threw down the small strip of cloth in his hand, and finally made this decision, he was a little uneasy if he didn't see the merchant with his own eyes. Moreover, Hu Luge is a person, he wants to do it himself, and if he moves people who shouldn't move, he should pay the price.
"What about Yunshuifang's side - what about the kitchen road and the Zhuangzi outside the city?" Li Yan hesitated a little, Yunshuifang is the critical time for renovation, that golden peony doesn't look like a safe one, although the power of the golden peony is suppressed by them, but she has been in business for a long time, there are still many people in Luoyang officialdom who have a relationship with her, as soon as Li Mo leaves, if Li Qingyu is affected by something, something goes wrong, it is not good, besides, the two elder brothers of the merchant are also quite concerned now, and from time to time there are always some backstage people who are very hard, and people who want to eat their industry have ideas.
Li Mo turned around and looked at Li Yan, and felt that what he said was not unreasonable, but after thinking about it, he still decided to go to Chang'an, after all, for him, business is the top priority, as for Yunshuifang and the kitchen, Li Mo stretched out his hand, picked up two gilded stickers on the bookcase and handed them to Li Yan.
"These two stickers, one was sent to the mansion of Lord Li, and the other was sent to the mansion of Lord Cao of the Luoyang Forbidden Army, saying that the prince asked them to take care of Yunshuifang and the kitchen, in addition, sent someone to release the news in the city, saying that the prince intends to enter the Yunshuifang, so that those who want to take advantage of the situation will be more restrained, as for the kitchen, it is originally in the name of the prince, and some of your people will be divided to take care of the point, although those people look red, but they don't dare to make up their minds for a while."
"Yes! The subordinates will do it. Li Yan lowered his head and took the two stickers, bowed and retreated.
handed the two stickers with the name of the prince to Li Qingyu and Cao Mengxiong, and Li Mo took advantage of the fact that the city gate was not closed and left Luoyang overnight, galloping all the way to Chang'an.
Ever since the merchant went to Chang'an, Shen Luoyun of Yunshuifang issued a notice announcing the closure of business for renovation -- a term that was still put forward by the merchant. Jin Peony originally prepared a sack of tricks to use to deal with Yunshuifang, but now it was all like a heavy punch on the cotton, and Yunshuifang Yinggen didn't accept it!
Seeing that Yunshuifang, which is not far from the Peony Pavilion, surrounds the courtyard with a large homespun cloth, and from time to time there are piles of bricks and tiles, knocking and banging sounds, I know that Yunshuifang has once again aroused the interest of all ages and children in Luoyang City, Jin Peony hates it in her heart, although Yunshuifang is closed, her business is much better, but the first thing the men who enter the Peony Pavilion always say when they meet: Hey! I don't know when Yunshuifang will open again, but our necks are going to grow!
Every time she heard this, Jin Peony was so angry that her face turned pale, but there was nothing she could do, she sent several groups of people to inquire about the movement of Yunshuifang, but every time she didn't get closer, she was driven away by the officials sent by Li Qingyu, saying that it was under construction, pay attention to safety. Tossed for a long time and didn't see anything.
Shen Luoyun is leisurely and comfortable, except for swaying on the construction site of Yunshuifang every day, looking at the progress of the project, discussing the problems in the project with the construction masters, and the rest of the time is nested in the hot spring village outside the city, and implementing closed special training for a group of singers.
According to the businessman, the scale and form of Yunshuifang, which opened again, will change dramatically, and all the girls who sign the sign must be able to get their hands on the table and get on the table. For this reason, Shen Luoyun also deliberately went to the human market, picked some good seedlings and came back, and trained with those little girls who had not started to pick up customers before.
Count the days, Shang Shang and others' performances in the palace should have ended yesterday, I am afraid that I will come back in a short time, thinking of the big stack of whimsy that Shang Shang Tuo Shanrou brought back, Shen Luoyun couldn't help but smile, if she can really do what Shang Shang wrote in the letter, then she can abdicate and make way for Xian with peace of mind, she is really tired after worrying about Yunshuifang for so long, now she just wants to care about nothing, play with flowers and plants, play two small songs to entertain herself, and live a simpler life.
"Sigh law-" Shen Luoyun sat in the carriage, thinking about the ideas of the merchants, to see if there was anything missing, but the carriage suddenly stopped in the middle of the street, Shen Luoyun didn't notice it for a while, and almost fell.
"What's wrong? What happened? Shen Luoyun leaned on the wall of the car and sat down again, and asked a little unhappily.
"Is it Master Shen?" Before the driver could reply, a man's soft and deep voice came from outside the car.
Shen Luoyun raised her eyebrows in surprise, she was about to go back to Zhuangzi at this time, who would stop her on the street? I was strange, but I still motioned to Bi Tao to open the curtain and look out.
"Your Excellency?" Shen Luoyun hesitated a little, and looked at the man outside the car with a slight frown, this person was riding on a horse, and he looked like a guard in a high-ranking mansion.
"Under the orders of the Lord, I have come to tell the owner of Yunfang, my master has an urgent matter to go to Chang'an, if the owner of Shen Fang encounters any trouble, just go to find Li Qingyu Li, my master has already explained to Lord Li, and I will be able to keep the owner safe." The man's soft voice sounded very comfortable, and although it looked ordinary, it also made people look at it without disgust.
"Thank you, Lord for informing me, Luoyun understands." Shen Luoyun looked at the man on the horse with some gratitude, and had to say that Yunshuifang really benefited a lot from the prince. This time, before going to Chang'an, he specially sent someone to inform him. It seems that the prince is not just a friend to a businessman! Shen Luoyun quietly weighed the weight of businessmen in the prince's heart.
"Then I'll leave, take care!" The man finished speaking, arched his hand to Shen Luoyun, raised his horsewhip, and galloped away outside the city.
Shen Luoyun watched the man ride his horse away, then he lowered the curtain and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage straight to the hot spring Zhuangzi outside the city, she still has a lot of things! Try to train those little girls who have not yet started before the merchants come back, so that it is also convenient for the merchants and Ruyi to further train.
Yesterday there was something, had to open the skylight, today to make up, I hope you have a vote to vote, more collection, thank you!
