Chapter 20: Help

Although Zhuang Lingzhao didn't like Zhuang Yan's dull temperament, in the end there was still a bit of blood and family affection, Concubine Fu's speculation surprised her, and she shook Concubine Fu's arm and said: "Mother, aren't you joking, no matter what the eldest sister says, she is also a noble daughter of the palace, except for the prince in the world, who can ask the princess to be a concubine?"

Zhuang Jingzhe also reacted: "That princess has never been a tolerant character, I heard that the eldest sister's biological mother is very beautiful, I am afraid that the princess has held a grudge for many years, so she has made such a reputation to compete with the eldest sister." www.biquge.info Besides..."Zhuang Jingzhen paused, seeing that his mother didn't react, knowing that he didn't take that stunning concubine to heart, he continued: "The eldest sister has a good appearance again, and the princess will definitely not give up this opportunity to pave the way for her children." ”

Zhuang Lingzhao's eyes widened and muttered, "Then, that big sister has just come back from Zhuangzi, and she is about to enter the wolf's den again." Her life was too bitter. ”

Concubine Fu funnily stretched out her finger and tapped Zhuang Lingzhao's forehead, and said angrily: "You, where can you compare to your eldest sister, she has been in Guanzhong for ten years, and she can come back alive, you know that it is not easy to do."

When Zhuang Yan left, the Zhao family also sent a mother to accompany him, but this mother did not enter Beijing together. After coming back, Zhuang Yan had few people to serve, and her life was really not good, but Zhuang Yan's Shenyuan was her person inside and out. Even the people sent by the princess only did sprinkling and sweeping in the courtyard, and they couldn't get close to Zhuang Yan's body at all.

It is conceivable that as long as Zhuang Yan can get married, even if the Zhao family takes up the princess's shelf in the future, they will not be able to help her.

Concubine Fu looked at her daughter's ignorant demeanor, and couldn't help but sigh, Zhao Niang was still protected too well by her. In the future, I still have to teach her some inner house methods, and I can't let her be jealous of Zhuang Lingjiao all day long.

Shen Yuan

It was late at night, and the courtyard was peaceful, with only a few lights scattered and scattered, and the occasional flying nightingale shattered the coldness.

Zhuang Yan sat on the wooden table, his expression was serious, and his eyebrows were occasionally frowned.

"Ah Li is noble in appearance, handsome in demeanor, especially fond of cloud blue and crescent white, if it is an ordinary Rui beast or dragon pattern in the repair of shoes, but it damages his three points of elegance, if you learn from those gentlemen to embroider some Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, it is a little less bearing." I kept turning my hand around and comparing a few patterns, and I seemed to be very distressed. After comparing and turning, he was still not satisfied, so he had to look at Bai Zhi who was standing aside.

"Bai Zhi, what do you look like?"

Bai Qi watched Zhuang Yan pick and trace the appearance over and over again. After tossing for two hours, I couldn't make up my mind, so I couldn't help but purse my lips and smile.

She is Zhuang Yan's confidant, so she naturally knows the relationship between King Duan and the girl, so she often feels resentful about what happened to the girl.

She knew that the girl had always been a cold-hearted person, but she had been separated from His Royal Highness King Duan for more than ten years, but she had an unusual affection for King Duan.

The girl has been lonely since she was a child, and has been living outside for many years, and she longs for real flesh and blood affection more than ordinary people.

Bai Zhi lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and said: "The slave maid thinks that the dragon is soaring auspicious clouds, and the girl doesn't have to pick such auspicious clouds, why not imitate the Qingshan Divine Bird to make a few fairy clouds and draw a dragon god?" ”

Zhuang Yan's eyes lit up: "Or you are clever, then according to what you said, and then make the material with Dai Qing fine lines and Hang Chou, and fall with red East Pearl." ”

After that, he thought about it and drew it.

Bai Ji was shocked in his heart, Dongzhu is known for its white and bright, brilliant halo, but there are also skilled craftsmen who have cultivated red Dongzhu, its color is red and charming, as bright as red black, it is a priceless good thing in the world, even if the palace can't get a few every year. The girl only got two by chance, which was used on one of Duanwang's purses.

The girl is too fond of the end king.

With ideas, Zhuang Yan himself is a knowledgeable and talented person, and it looks much simpler to think about.

After a while, he took the scissors and cut the fabric.

Bai Qian hurriedly came in, and saw that Zhuang Yan was sewing the purse with his own hands, but it didn't look like a woman's thing, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately withdrew his gaze, handed over a letter, and said, "Girl, this is the news sent by Shopkeeper Liu today." ”

Tongbao's ability to become the first silver building in the north depends not only on Liu Yu's long-sleeved dancing and strange vision, but also on Zhuang Yan's judgment of the situation, often moving when he hears the wind, and is decisive in killing, so for them, to seize every business opportunity, they must be deaf and clear-sighted. It also happens that Tongbao is operating all year round, and it is coiled with the officialdom of the North, implicating deep and wide, and even in the silver building, a time-honored brand that has been established in Kyoto for more than a hundred years, the Tongbao is not inferior, and there are many Korean and Chinese officials among the customers. With the blessing of the Four Seas Inn and the Bafang Warehouse, in the news network of the various forces of Daqin, the Tongbao is strong, and many century-old families are beyond their reach.

Zhuang Yan stretched out his white and slender fingers like jade to take it, took a quick look, and said coldly: "An Luhou's hand is too long."

Whatever the Wei family wants, I just won't let you get your way.

After thinking for a long time, Zhuang Yanfang wrote a reply.

"Bai Qi, this letter is to Liu Yu. This letter," Zhuang Yan paused, pointing to another letter with a silver wolf pattern printed on the fiery red sealing wax, "You tell Baizhu to personally hand it over to the palace steward." ”

Bai Qi answered, and then retreated again.

There were only two people left in the house, Zhuang Yan and Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi and Bai Qi are a pair of sisters, from She County, Huizhou, whose ancestors were famous salt merchants, but they only fell into the middle of their father's family. The two sisters grew up in Huizhou, and they were born to play with an abacus, and when they grew up, they were even more literate and hyphenation, especially proficient in mathematics. Hui merchants like to hire a nursing home with strong martial arts on weekdays, or directly send their children to learn art, although they are daughters, they have practiced kung fu for several years.

However, Bai Zhi is delicate, calm, sophisticated, proficient in female workers, and has rough medical skills, so she often serves in the inner room and serves Zhuang Yan; Bai Zhi is lively and aggressive, if she is allowed to accompany Zhuang Yan every day, she is afraid that she will suppress her nature, so Zhuang Yan will let her spread the word in the outhouse.

Baizhu is their cousin, when he was young, he went to Shaolin Temple to learn kung fu for a few years, and now although he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, he has also broken out of the name in Guanzhong martial arts, and he is also free and easy, informal, and is also a famous young man in the martial arts.

Speaking of their origins, it is an adventure.

After the palace change that year, Zhuang Yan jumped off the canal and lurked in the river all night, waiting for the pursuers to leave before he dared to show his head. Trembling with cold, he staggered all the way to Zhenjiang.

At that time, the Bai brothers and sisters were in the middle of the road, their parents were killed by creditors, and the three of them happened to flee to Zhenjiang.

When Zhuang Yan was resting in the City God Temple, he met the Bai family brothers and sisters who were evading the debt collection of creditors. At first, they didn't know each other, and they didn't want to say a word when they fled abroad.

Later, for some reason, the killer sent by the emperor still found Zhuang Yan hiding in Zhenjiang.

When a group of black-clothed people suddenly appeared in the City God Temple, Zhuang Yan was almost frightened. Those people were holding long swords, and they checked the children hiding in the temple one by one, and when they were about to turn their eyes to her, it was Baizhu who suddenly pressed down her body and hid her behind her brothers and sisters, and she looked at the group of black-clothed people in a daze, and Bai Zhi and Baiqi cried loudly. The man in black saw that the three children were too noisy, and he didn't suspect that a few children in the general corner could hide someone, so he turned around and left. She barely escaped.

She regarded the three as life-saving benefactors, and after asking their names, she continued to flee along the river until she met the King of Jin in Hangzhou.

Later, she begged her grandfather to find a few benefactors for her to repay her kindness. Who knew that the people of my grandfather came with the news that they had no father and mother for a long time, and now the big families were sold into slavery. Only then did she ask her grandfather to redeem her life for them and return to her good home, and the Bai brothers and sisters have stayed by her side since then.

Nearly ten years have passed, and the Bai family brothers and sisters seem to be Zhuang Yan's henchmen. Zhuang Yan never avoided them, and the Bai family brothers and sisters knew Zhuang Yan's life experience, strength and intentions.

It's just that Bai Zhi moved her steps, looking at Zhuang Yan still making a purse, her already bright eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles at the moment, and against the backdrop of the candlelight, it looked even more beautiful, charming to all beings, and even Bai Zhi had been serving her for many years, thinking that she could resist one or two, and couldn't help but be in a trance.
