Chapter 4 The Lord of the Pavilion

Ningguo is located due west and south of the Hanze continent, adjacent to the Kexi grassland on the west side, sharing most of the border with Wei to the east, and a small part of the territory adjacent to Wei bordering Han Yan in the south of the land.

In winter, the climate of Ningguo is warmer and more rainy than in the north, but the temperature difference between day and night after the sun goes down at night is also very large, and the humidity enters the clothes with the cold wind, and it is very sinful to go out.

Get up early in the morning, lead the palace maid to serve Song Jin to wash and eat, serve Song Jin into the house and start the daily routine practice of calligraphy, Ah Sheng glanced at the weather outside, walked into the bedroom and began to rummage through the cloak from the cage, Song Jin read and instructed, "Today I will go out of the palace with the master to find Ah Zheng, you choose a suitable set of men's clothes for me"

Ah Sheng also remembered it, and smiled and said: "No, the day set ten days ago, the slave almost forgot it." The slave maid is also looking for a set of men's clothes, I haven't seen Ah Zheng for a long time, and I don't know if her anger is getting heavier and heavier. ā€

Song Jin smiled, lowered his head and continued to practice calligraphy without saying a word, and after a while, the calligraphy was completed, gently drying the ink, picking up the paper and looking at it, before saying: "It's a good thing to have the spirit of the rivers and lakes, after all, we will all enter this river and lake in the future." ā€

Ah Sheng smiled, silently frowning and sorting out his clothes.

After practicing for a while, Song Jin remembered something and ordered: "Inform the master the day before yesterday, he is not on duty in the palace today, he should be in the palace, and he will order the guards to go directly to General Lu's mansion in a while", Ah Sheng nodded yes, hung the clothes he was going to wear on the screen, and went out to order the inner attendant to pass the word to the guards.

Before evening, a palace carriage quietly left from the west gate and rushed to the Dingguo General Lu's mansion, Song Jin ordered the car to stop at the inconspicuous corner gate, and asked someone to quietly invite General Lu.

――――――――――――――――――――――

There is a unique street and alley in the capital, called Poria Street, quiet during the day, prosperous and noisy at night, yes, every urban and rural county town has such a street, Poria cocos, take the meaning of the breeze, the flower girls are all to the talented and beautiful history of the name of the red whisk as an example, after a long time, others will also call this Poria Street, written elegantly.

At this time, the sun is hiding behind the mountain and will not set, the sky is full of red glow, the breeze is slight, the evening bell of Citan Temple on the outskirts of the city spreads with the darkness of the sky, and nearby, under the reflection of the early Chinese lanterns, the laughter of the people is interspersed with shouting, Song Jin took a breath of enjoyment, and smiled at the middle-aged man beside him: "Master, I really envy them." ā€

Lu Ao, the general of Dingguo, was dressed in dark red clothes, and was strolling comfortably with his hands behind his back to enjoy the lively scenery, when he heard this, he was stunned, looked at Song Jin and asked, "Oh? What did the princess say about this? ā€

Song Jin followed Lu Ao's pace unhurriedly, his eyes radiated a bright light, "Since ancient times, the heroes have competed for the deer, which one is not for the sake of the country, for the supreme right to fight for the tart." But after ascending to the Ninety-Five Honor, you have to imprison yourself in the deepest part of the deep palace, call yourself lonely, surrounded by guards, surrounded by strong enemies, run out of oil early, and watch your sons kill each other to prevent palace changes when you are approaching the big line, what is the benefit of such a day? It's better to be like all living beings in this world, to be an ordinary person, as long as you have the skills to be hardworking, the mind is flexible, and you know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, wouldn't your life be much happier than that of the royal family? ā€

Lu Ao was really a little surprised when he said this, he taught Song Jin martial arts mostly in the art of war and strategy, kung fu, and treated Song Jin with a lot of love, but the two rarely talked about politics, I didn't expect Song Jin to be a young girl in the flower season, or the most expensive princess in the world, even if the cultivation of her since she was a child is really different, this idea is still impressive.

However, Lu Ao is no stranger to her remarks, seventeen years ago, there was also a woman who said the same thing to him, his eyes slowly softened, as if he had returned to the original years.

Song Jin closed the fan at this time, nodded at the flower building with the largest number of guests in front of the door, turned his head and said to Lu Ao with a smile: "It's here, Master, let's go in." ā€

Lu Ao also stood still, looked up with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. He is also familiar with this place, which is the most famous, the most stylish, and the most beautiful flower building in the capital. It's just that I didn't expect that this largest flower building in the capital actually belonged to the eldest princess of Daning Kingdom, Lu Ao looked at Song Jin's familiar back, and was a little speechless for a while, this matter must not be known to the royal family of Ning Kingdom......

At this time, the peony building was open when the door was opened, and a turtle slave came out to light more than ten lanterns one after another, and the door was wide open, and the guests walked in one after another.

The group looked inside, and the servants arranged seats, ordered tea and wine, and entertained them in an orderly and orderly manner. Song Jin and the others tried not to attract attention, because they were all wearing clothes made of very ordinary style fabrics, and almost no one paid special attention to them.

Walking to the end of the front yard, Song Jin smiled at a steward who guarded the moon gate leading to the girl's boudoir: "Steward Xu, I'm here to find Miss Qinse, she knows." ā€

The boudoirs of several famous prostitutes in the Peony Building are all set out separately in the backyard, which is Song Jin's idea, which not only makes the environment elegant and stylish, but also convenient for all kinds of characters to talk about things, which is an excellent way to get news. Qin Se is the head of the Peony Building, and the environment where he lives is even more wonderful and quiet.

It's not the first time that Steward Xu has seen Song Jinlai, he is Ah Zheng's subordinate in the Peony Building, his eyes are bright, and his actions are very clever. Seeing Song Jin hurriedly bowed his hand, "It turned out to be Jin Gongzi, Miss Qin Se is already waiting in the room, please move upstairs, and the little one will go and order some wine and food." ā€

Song Jin smiled and nodded, walked into the backyard and walked up, and Lu Ao, who passed by the simple and easy to face, followed silently. Walking to the innermost door, Song Jin and Ah Sheng both looked happy and gently pushed the door in.

――――――――――――――――――――――

There is a beauty standing in the room, her appearance is not very gorgeous, but it is better than three points of beauty and seven points of elegance, her eyebrows are warm and her eyes are bright, and she is a beautiful woman who knows how to observe words and colors, and her witty words are gentle and elegant.

After seeing Song Jin, the beauty hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "Subordinate Qin Se, that is, the famous building of Fengtang, see the pavilion master." ā€

As soon as the words fell, a hearty and clear voice came from the inner room: "Miss, Ah Sheng, I really want to kill you." When Song Jin heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and exchanged helpless glances with Ah Sheng.

"Then you don't come out quickly!"

A girl came out like a gust of wind, in her twenties, combing her hair in a delicate bun, wearing a satin dress with gold and dark embroidery, and her eyes were moving, with a refreshing and neat pride.

She was holding a tray in both hands, with two booklets on it, and on the right was a simple tea can, a set of jade carved tea six gentlemen, and she was not afraid when she heard the words, and said with a smile, "Didn't your subordinates take things for the pavilion master, these are all good things!" ā€

Putting the things on the table, Ah Zheng smiled and knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists: "The subordinate head of the Pavilion Ah Zheng, see the Pavilion Master!" ā€

Song Jin smiled and hurriedly got up, everyone hadn't seen each other for many days, and when Ah Zheng hugged Ah Sheng and laughed, Song Jin only got to the point after a few people greeted each other for a while:

"How's things going in the south?"

Ah Zheng immediately looked at him, and replied respectfully: "Back to the pavilion master, the house deed of Jinguancheng has been obtained, and the official government has filed a case and settled the household registration, only saying that it is a big family in the suburbs of Beijing, because the head of the family died and is no longer an official, the widows decided to find a peaceful mansion and found here, and the ancestral home is also traceable, some of the 'villagers' for future reference have been sorted out, and the new identity is ready to continue, just wait for the pavilion master and family members to choose a good day to set off!" ā€

Saying that, she picked up one of the booklets on the case and handed it to Song Jin, "The page in the middle is the house deed, my handprint, and the booklet is written with the details of your new identity", when Song Jin looked down and looked at it carefully, she picked up another booklet and said to Song Jin with a smile: "Pavilion master, don't you know, in the past three months, our business in the Pavilion has been extraordinarily prosperous!" ā€ļ¼Œ

Ah Zheng helped Song Jin open the booklet to her, stood aside and said: "In the past three months, suddenly a lot of people have come to the Pavilion to talk about business and place orders, let us help inquire about the rivers and lakes of Ningguo, all kinds of news from the imperial court, you have instructed, the news of the Ningguo court, involving the military and the first-grade officials and above, do not take it, and the third-grade officials and above, let you know before taking it, no, the booklet is written, but according to our Fengtang hall master, these people's words and deeds are a bit secretive, first of all, most of them are not Ningguo accents, And every few orders of the business of collecting news from the rivers and lakes are sandwiched between a few business of the official court, which seems unusual, so the subordinates sorted out a few important ones before they came down, and they perfunctorily said that they were still collecting news, and they came to report to the princess first, you see. ā€

Song Jin frowned slightly, moved the booklet a little, and asked General Lu to read it together, the more he looked at it, the more serious his expression became, and the information in his hand was true, which surprised the two of them.
