Chapter 208: Peony Spring Banquet (1)

This whole day, Jiao Xingye was the most shocked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 On the way back to the palace, she interrogated Feng Ling all the way, when did she recognize it with Yan Yan, why the princess and her family did not allow her to live, why did she enter the palace, and what did it have to do with Princess Runan......

Feng Ling secretly said that she was afraid that she would not be able to go back to Zhaoqing Hall like this, so she found a secluded corner before entering the palace, and told her: "Since I recognize you as a confidant, I will not hide those things from you." I had a marriage contract with General Yan, and the six ceremonies had become five ceremonies, and only the last ceremony was missing, and he was framed by the Liu family and escorted back to Beijing to be convicted. The Liu family played ghosts in the west, and my righteous brother was aware of it, so he was killed by the Liu family, and I came to Chang'an to follow my husband, and the second to clear my righteous brother's grievances. That princess Runan, although everyone said that I was similar to her mother, even Ayan felt like this, but before I entered the palace, I was really just a businessman, and I didn't know any heavenly family. ”

Xingye twisted his fingers and combed through what Feng Ling said, as if he understood or not, obviously full of questions, and couldn't ask anything for a while.

"Don't ask me about my future plans, I don't have any plans now, I will take a step at a time to see what will happen in the future, and it will change randomly." The wind spirit continued: "The danger is always a certainty, are you afraid? ”

Xingye shook his head hurriedly, "If you can really follow the lady out of this palace gate one day, Xingye is fearless." ”

After tasting the taste of freedom outside, the walls of this palace could not trap her for a long time, and she knew it when she was so determined to go out. Feng Ling liked her righteous and crisp nature, "That being the case, there are some things you must remember. But whoever enters the gate of this palace, those things outside are not allowed to be mentioned again, and people before and after them are more careful. There is a good situation outside the palace, and you and I must save our lives to be rewarded. ”

Apricot Leaf bowed his knees to the wind spirit and gave a long salute, "Apricot Leaf keeps it in mind." ”

Feng Ling was stunned, and recognized the apricot leaves, this was the first time she had saluted herself seriously.

In the days that followed, there were only two things left for the Wind Spirit to face every day. The first is a major event that can be regarded as a real merchant's household register and calculate the profit and loss of merchants, although this one is complicated and tiring, compared to the other, it is something that Feng Ling is more willing to do.

As for this other one, it really gave her a headache. There are always so many people, entangled in the question of whether she is the princess of Runan, and they are even more concerned about this issue than herself. After a while, someone came to talk to her, and bent around trying to find out what she was doing; In a moment someone would test her with an old object to see if she could remember something; After a while, someone came to "accompany" her for recreation, afraid that she would be stuffy and uncomfortable, as if she did not remember that she was currently busy with the affairs of the tax merchants.

After coping with this for a few days, Xingye came up with an idea, saying that Feng Ling was tired and unwell, and needed to rest for a few days, so he refused to visit.

Unexpectedly, in this way, the courtyard of Zhaoqing Hall became more and more hot, turning over tricks to visit and ask questions, and all kinds of irresistible care almost turned the entire Zhaoqing Hall upside down.

After more than a month, the wind spirit was also accustomed to those spying and questioning, no matter who came, she did not refuse to see them, while busy with what she had to do, while moving out to deal with them with the words that she had answered again and again. When everyone saw that she was busy and lazy to deal with it, they gave up.

"The folk girl was born in the Gu clan in Jiangnan, although it is also a big family, but it is the door of the decline of the previous dynasty, most of the whole clan makes a living in business, and since childhood, she has been mixed with the elders in the market and the merchants, and she does not know the etiquette and system, but she can be counted as being able to read the accounts, so she is loved by the saint and helps to cook some trivial ......"

The people in the Zhaoqing Hall heard Feng Ling say these words no less than forty or fifty times, and almost no one could not recite them. And the sage only mentioned the words of Princess Runan when he was in Lingzhou, but he didn't mention it again since he returned to Chang'an, and gradually everyone's interest faded. In such a situation, the Zhaoqing Hall was able to slowly regain its tranquility, and the wind spirit could concentrate on those merchants.

But he said that Mi Dalang was very useful, and in less than two months, he had a thorough understanding of the merchants in the east and west cities of Chang'an. There are really too many merchants in Chang'an, on the surface, they are all rules, and there is no clue at all, but from their entry and exit situation, it is not difficult to see that there are some people behind the support.

It is nothing more than those wealthy and powerful families, each family accounts for some, because most of the shops in Chang'an are originally owned by the magnates, and they account for some of them, which is understandable, as for what kind of transactions and exchanges are behind it, Feng Ling has heard a lot in the business market before, and he knows it roughly.

Only at this time, her interest was not in this, but she was staring at the Liu family wholeheartedly, and those merchants had the Liu family to rely on, which was what she was concerned about. However, there is not a single clue from these merchants.

Feng Ling was temporarily helpless, and every day he had to take out the letter from the Buddha from Xizhou and read it carefully. The letter only said that the business in Western Xinjiang is still good, but the trade routes are not very peaceful, and since the delay has passed, there have been many bandits and thieves entrenched in the already clean trade routes, and they have robbed and plundered without scruples. Although the Anxi Protectorate knew this, after all, its duty was only to deter the tribes of the Western Xinjiang, and the bandits and thieves did not pay attention to it. As a result, the number of goods that travel to and from Chang'an is still unimpeded, and the number of goods going to other regions has been reduced by at least half compared with usual.

She thought about these words again and again, she suspected that after the private soldier sect raised by Liu Zheng was inadvertently exterminated, it must be quickly reorganized, and now it should be the time to use a large amount of money, he got rid of Kang Dazhi, and hurriedly replaced the big Sabao that he could trust, isn't it for this, the bandits on the business road are fierce in stealing money, and it may be related to the Liu family.

Suspicion is suspicion, and it is in vain not to find a flaw, and the Liu family is now in Chang'an like a dormant and hibernating animal, hidden and difficult to see. If you want to get your hands on it, you have to lure him out of the hole.

Stranded for a while, the wind spirit couldn't think of a way, and the spring mood quietly rose.

As soon as the spring breeze blew, the banquet and drinks in the inner garden became busy. The posts of others, Feng Lingshang can ignore them, but she can't ignore Yang Shufei's face. Besides, she has something important to do right now, and she can't be distracted, so why bother to offend Yang Shufei and invite some trouble for herself.

She was willing to go to Concubine Yang's banquet, and the apricot leaves and bamboo branches were very relieved. On the day of the Spring Banquet, Feng Ling knew that it was inevitable to have a social, so he dressed up neatly, and happily went to the appointment with a playful heart to watch the palace family fight in the dark.

The banquet was set up in the peony garden, which was warm early this spring, and the first batch of peonies in early spring had bloomed as big as a bowl. Early in the morning, before dawn, there was a palace maid from Concubine Yang, holding a lacquerware wooden plate to give peonies to hairpins.

At that time, the wind spirit was asleep and did not wake up, so he pointed to one casually. When she got up and cleaned her face and put on the facial fat, she noticed that the peony in front of the makeup mirror was a large pink crown.

Apricot Leaf carefully pinned the large pink peony next to her bun, and Feng Ling looked at it from the bronze mirror, it was indeed beautiful. She suddenly sighed with emotion: "The days are fast, it's the peony spring banquet again, and I was sent to the inner garden because of this peony banquet last year." ”
