Chapter 5 Tilting River

Feng Zhiwei didn't look back for a moment, and his other hand stood like a knife, mercilessly slashing and slashing at the man's wrist veins!

The snow-white fingers rippled through the darkness in cascading light and shadow, so fast that people couldn't react, but the man's wrist was like a swimming fish, sliding away, accompanied by a low laugh. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Feng Zhiwei's heart trembled when she heard the laughter, and for a moment a complicated look slipped in her eyes when she turned her back to the man, and then withdrew her hand.

When she finally looked back, her expression had returned to normal, and she smiled a little disgustedly: "Your Highness really worked hard to trick me down, is it worth it?" ”

The canopy boat leaked the slightest wisps of skylight, and Ning Yi smiled in that fine light and shadow, "It's too difficult to be alone with you, it's worth it." ”

"What's so hard about that?" Feng Zhiwei sat down opposite him, leaning over and gesturing outside, while smiling, "You come here, as long as you give a notice, I will definitely greet you in person, please enjoy the scenery on the big boat, why do you need to nest in this small boat and play all kinds of tricks?" ”

"I just don't want your bluffing hospitality, everyone is watching, you let me go, do all the superficial work." Ning Yi said leisurely, "What I want is to be alone, alone." ”

Feng Zhiwei looked outside and said, "What about the boat?" Don't come down for me, you really want someone's life, right? ”

"Isn't it?" Ning Yi smiled, "I pushed him down." ”

Feng Zhi glanced at him slightly, smiled, turned her head to look at the rain outside, she was a little afraid to look back, afraid that Ning Yi could see more things in her eyes, until today, she was shocked to find that Ning Yi's understanding of her, I am afraid that it has exceeded the level she thought, today's scene of Xiaozhou deceiving her to come down is completely aimed at her character and habits of dealing with troubles, first with the free and easy singing of the boat, to attract her attention, and then make the boat innocently shaken down by the big boat, so that she can not watch, and the call of mother and son on the shore is even more miraculous, forced her to feel uneasy and visited herself, and the position that the boat always put on was harmless and safe, so that she was suspicious and finally got off the boat.

It seems very simple, almost a joke, but it must be done by knowing her carefully every step of the way.

And a more critical question that raises this is, he seems to know that she is hiding from him? He knew that if he officially sent her off, he wouldn't be alone with him, otherwise why bother to spend so much effort just to see each other in a lonely boat?

Feng Zhiwei thought that since that night, he hadn't shown anything wrong, but who could completely find out Ning Yi's person?

She pondered for a moment at the rain curtain, then reached out to catch some of the rain, retracted her hand, and said with a smile: "The rain is a bit heavy." ”

As soon as I turned around, I saw Ning Yi taking out a small table like a trick, and a few exquisite porcelain plates on the table were covered with silver filigree carved lids, and there was a faint and attractive aroma, which emanated from the gaps in those silver filigree.

"What is this?" Feng Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Where did you come from?" ”

Ning Yi leaned against the cabin, smiled but did not speak, and only made a gesture of invitation to her.

Feng Zhi smiled and lifted the lid, and immediately made an "oh-" sound, and the tail note went up, a little surprised.

In the snow-white saucer, the tips of the light green bamboo shoots are frozen and crystal like jasper, and the four sides are lined with pickled lilac ginger buds, and the colors are so beautiful and harmonious that they can be directly entered into the painting.

"Nanyang winter bamboo shoots." Ning Yi took out two pairs of silver chopsticks, pointed at the dish with the tip of the chopsticks, and said with a little regret, "It's a pity that it's not spring, otherwise I will directly use the Yanlai bamboo shoots after the first rain in Jianghuai, which are crisp and tender, and the taste is even better." ”

"Nanyang winter bamboo shoots are already a famous product among bamboo shoots, and they cost one or two taels of silver in winter." Feng Zhi sighed slightly, "Don't be too demanding." ”

"Bamboo shoots are a good thing." Ning Yi said lightly, "Thousands of rolls, layers of shells, peel off layer by layer without painstaking efforts, who knows that the taste inside is endless?" ”

Feng Zhiwei was shocked in his heart, he always felt that he had something to say, raised his eyes and smiled: "The world is greedy for appetite, and always loves to think about handling food, you see that the bamboo shoots are arm thick when they are picked, and they can be used after peeling them in the end, but they are only a little bigger than their fingertips, and it is really pitiful to think about." ”

Ning Yi smiled, swiped a piece of chopsticks for her, and said, "Eat yours, even the bamboo shoots are pitiful, do you want to eat the chicken, duck and fish?" Starve to death. ”

Feng Zhiwei saw that the dish that was as beautiful as a work of art gave him such a horizontal chopstick, and he couldn't get back to it, and even sighed pity, Ning Yi glanced at her, and simply lifted the lid, which immediately attracted Feng Zhiwei's attention - a light red fish-shaped plate contained a few delicate silver-white steamed fish, with pale yellow ginger shreds and emerald green onions, the soup was as transparent as a mirror, Ning Yi said: "This is called Yingying Yishui, and the pulse is silent." ”

In a azure glass plate, the crispy elbows baked golden are clustered into a perfect circle, the lotus leaves are at the bottom, the fragrance is fragrant, and the white egg whites are scattered on all sides, surrounded by clouds, Ning Yi is a finger, "Mo is as easy as clouds to disperse, and it must be like a full moon." ”

In a purple sand soup bowl, countless thumb-sized balls in the pale milky soup are white and round, decorated with slightly blue seaweed and light red shrimp, those brightly colored ingredients float in the soup, the posture is graceful, Ning Yi took a small bowl of fine porcelain lotus leaves, scooped the soup for Feng Zhiwei, and said: "This is called curtaining and looking at the moon sky and sighing, and the beauty is like a flower across the clouds." ”

"Where to eat is vegetables, I see poetry to eat." Feng Zhiwei listened to the names of those dishes, lowered his eyelashes, and didn't ask much, but diverted the topic, "Which chef?" The craftsmanship is so exquisite? ”

Ning Yi smiled but didn't answer, Feng Zhiwei looked at it and said in shock: "Could it be that you did it?" ”

"How can I have such a craft?" Ning Yi seemed to be distracted, and then took out a delicate wine jug and said, "Guyue Mountain Wine, Jianghuai Famous Wine, you can taste it." ”

Feng Zhiwei didn't refuse, but said with a smile: "If you are drunk today, I will not carry you on the big boat, you can drift on this boat." ”

"That's good, too." Ning Yi's wine cup rested on her lips, and her eyes flickered like wine, "If you can really drift with the water without obstacles, it is not necessarily a bad thing." ”

Feng Zhi slightly rolled up the curtain of the cabin, the wind suddenly swept in with a drizzle, the winter river was slightly rainy, a misty gray on all sides, the mountains in the distance smeared an indigo shadow in the pale sky, in the oblique wind and drizzle, the canopy boat drifted leisurely, and the green hat and green coat swayed in the bow of the boat, like a painting still in time.

It seems that he drank a lot of wine in a trance, Ning Yi was already drunk, supporting his head with his hands, still drinking cup by cup, Feng Zhiwei did not persuade him, drank more than him, and the rich and sweet wine in his stomach, it seemed that there was the wind on the river this night, the **** rain, and countless unspeakable things that he thought he knew, and there were a small pile of delicate small wine jugs behind each other in the cabin.

The night was going to be deep, there was no moon in the rainy night, only the shadow of the boat was cut by the transverse waves, Yingying wandered, Feng Zhiwei shook the last wine pot desperately, and muttered with straight eyes: "Hey, what's the ...... Only...... Gone? ”

On the other side, Ning Yi was lying on the table, his elbows were almost propped up on the plate, the dishes didn't move much, and the wine poured into his stomach, drinking on an empty stomach, Feng Zhiwei, who had a good amount of alcohol, was about to fall, not to mention Ning Yi, who had no alcohol and relied on hangover pills to support the wine field.

He seemed to be so drunk that it was dark, but he continued to accompany Feng Zhiwei to drink, and when he heard Feng Zhiwei's words, he barely raised his head and said, "...... You...... Drunk ......"

Feng Zhiwei looked at him fixedly, laughed, pointed at him with his finger, and said with a smile: "You are ...... Half in the bag...... Also said...... I ......"

Ning Yi supported his forehead with his hand, looking at her, Feng Zhiwei smiled all the year round, but never laughed, her smile has always been restrained and quiet, the corners of her lips pulled slightly, a gentle and perfunctory arc, gentle and everyone can see, perfunctory but only he understands, looking at that kind of smile always makes him hurt from the bottom of his heart, fine and dense, like whose fingertips are unceremoniously pulling, pulling all the helplessness in this life.

At this moment, her smile was finally indulged for the first time, the eyebrows were flying, the corners of the eyes were slightly raised, the eyes were slightly narrowed, the light flowed, and the lips were slightly open, the teeth were white between the red, dazzling, such a smile, swaying in his blurred and dizzy vision, like the smoke and water on the surface of the river, the rain and waves, flying and turning upside down, into the chest.

He lost himself in such a whirlwind, and he was about to stretch out his hand in a trance, but his arm was weak, and he was about to crash into the soup bowl, but Feng Zhiwei still retained a bit of sanity, stretched out his hand, and put his arm on it, but he was also weak, and when he was about to fall down on the table together, she kicked the dining table away and kicked out of the canopy boat.

There was a thud on the table into the water, but no one came out to look, and the canopy fell into a turmoil, at first a little violent, and then gradually calmed down, but it was not completely still, and it had been swaying so slightly, in the midnight drizzle, and trembling lightly with the fluttering rain curtain.

It was quiet on all sides, the boat stopped in the shadow of the big boat, the quiet undulation, the lights on the boat had been extinguished for some time, and in the obscurant darkness, a low voice gradually sounded.

Feng Zhiwei's voice was slightly wheezing and soft, and in a certain interval, he asked softly: "...... The kid ...... What's going on......"

A question came out, and the four sides seemed to be quiet again, and even the boat didn't move, and it seemed that it was a long time before Ning Yi's voice drifted leisurely in the dark.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's okay...... Sent out......"

In a trance, I don't know who said "um", the sound of the rain was broken again, but the slight turmoil of the awning boat had gradually subsided, and it was replaced by a dark silence, but there was a sudden flash of black light in the dark place.

The heavy black light that belongs to the sharp weapon, with a silent coldness, sneaks in like the rain of this night with the wind, flashing gently.

Like black lightning, it travels through the world with a strange aura wafting in the canopy boat, and wants to split some of the warmth that has just been maintained.

But it finally froze in mid-air, and the lightning died out.

After a long, long time.

The boat moved again, and Feng Zhiwei, who was a little staggering in the bow of the boat, tightened her clothes at the bow of the boat, stood silently for a moment, and then flew up silently and jumped onto the big boat.

The big ship was also quiet, and she was about to quietly return to the cabin, but a figure in white slowly walked from below.

He looked at her calmly and clearly, as if he had seen everything up and down, Feng Zhiwei touched his eyes, but he turned his eyes a little embarrassed.

In the middle of the night, she turned around, held the bow of the boat, and looked at the quietly drifting canopy boat in the drizzle, her clothes were hunting and slapping on the side of the boat, her voice was monotonous and long, her eyebrows were wet, and her eyes were as wet as rain, like the rain on the river at night, smearing the world desolate and desolate.

The canopy boat was close at hand, as if within reach, but her gaze was far away, far enough to see through the quiet rain curtain those horizontal battles in the future, the blood dance of the rivers and mountains, the thunder of the hunting fire, the sharp weapons of the hunting fire and the red thunder rang out, and the brilliant golden light flew away.

After a while, she closed her eyes and made a gesture to sail.

The big ship quietly ran rampant on the river, pulling its heavy figure away from the quiet canopy boat, and in the shadow of the drift, the water was shining brightly, sending the big ship farther and farther away, turning the sky a little darker.

The wind was howling and blowing on all sides, Feng Zhiwei never looked back, Zong Chen asked quietly behind her, "But it's cold?" Boiled up for you...... Is it good to take a decoction? ”

After a period of silence, Feng Zhiwei replied slowly: "Okay, please." ”

==

At the beginning of the seventeenth year of Changxi, only a few months after Feng Zhiwei took office as the political envoy of Jianghuai Daobu, Changning Domain united with Xiliang, and explored the long-standing claws of Tiansheng - in March of the seventeenth year of Changxi, Changning swore in Puzhou, and the troops went straight to the thirteen counties of the seven states of Longbei and southern Fujian, at the same time, Xiliang Chen soldiers at the border, and also made a posture of wanting to move troops against southern Fujian, Emperor Tiansheng urgently dispatched the army of the south to respond to the battle, and took the seven princes as the supervising army, and went to southern Fujian and Longbei to supervise the war.

In fact, Changning has been preparing to rebel for many years, after Changxi formed an alliance with Xiliang in the fifteenth year, he was planned to start at the beginning of the sixteenth year, but Xiliang was delayed because of the change of regime, which is actually what Feng Zhiwei meant, it was an agreement she reached with Lu Rui before leaving Xiliang that was not put on paper, after all, Emperor Tiansheng had asked her to pay attention to Changning's movements when she sent Xiliang to Xiliang, and she did not return to the imperial court for the crucial Changning Xiliang alliance, if Changning started an incident immediately after her return, she would inevitably be held accountable, Lu Rui and Lu Zhiyan are also smart people, and they guessed from Feng Zhiwei's actions that she had other intentions, and she was happy to fish in troubled waters, while calmly paralyzing Tiansheng, Changning was still asking for the little prince to enter Beijing to meet Emperor Tiansheng, while quietly expanding the armament war, and when the time was ripe, she would do it in one fell swoop.

The war together, just when the generals are promising, Hua Qiong who served in southern Fujian naturally stood out, this female general is brave and brave men, often unloading armor on the battlefield and charging first, the female soldiers under her command are excited by the blood of the main general, killing people is far more ferocious than the male soldiers, southern Fujian is already a place where the people are fierce, but the status of women is very low, most of the women in the army have a miserable life and have been trampled, and they are all desperate on the battlefield.

And the war together, originally in Xiliang a group of fire phoenix scattered veterans, have secretly crossed the border to return to China to ask to serve the country, the general of southern Fujian reported the matter to the imperial court, Emperor Tiansheng was very pleased, never thought that these Tiansheng soldiers who have been living abroad for many years, at the critical moment are still enthusiastic and careful, immediately allowed these old fire phoenix departments regardless of the number of people, all assigned to Huaqiong fire phoenix, and exceptionally appointed Qi Shaojun, a descendant of the old fire phoenix who had made many military exploits as soon as he entered the battlefield, as a general, the old emperor only cared about being happy, and forgot to ask how many people there were in these old departments- Under Hua Qiong, there are constantly people joining the army, the two battalions of men and women combined, it has exceeded 50,000, and it is still growing, more importantly, almost everyone in the Huofeng Army is extremely strong, especially the backward male soldiers, it is like a natural elite soldier, fine battle array, good at riding and shooting, individual combat power and group cooperation are first-class in the world, not at all like a lost veteran who has been in exile in other countries for many years and has lost his efforts for a long time, but like a long-trained elite who has been fighting every day, this kind of fierce combat power is very attention-grabbing, fortunately, Hua Qiong does not like to grab merit, After all, the Huofeng Army is dominated by women, and she is easily excluded by male generals, and she is not angry, just like Feng Zhiwei back then, fighting field guerrilla warfare in the local battlefield, picking up some unimportant but meritorious work such as harassing the enemy behind the enemy and luring the enemy into an ambush, she is leisurely, but she is so suffocated that those **** fierce women under her command scream, whenever this time, General Hua will shake his finger mysteriously and say: "Don't worry, there is always a place for you." Then he smiled with his back hand and looked at the clouds in the sky ahead.

When the war in the south was in full swing, Feng Zhiwei was still leisurely and leisurely as her Jianghuai Daobu political envoy, the first major thing in office was the dredging of the Jinghuai Canal, because the war was in the ascendant, a large amount of treasury silver was used for military expenses, and the rich Jianghuai also undertook the task of collecting most of the military rations.

Ning Yi often goes down to Jianghuai, but as a prince, according to the rules, it is not good to directly meddle in the affairs of various prefectures, he has always been very busy, and he does not live in Jianghuai Mansion, he lives in Baizhou near the canal, and Feng Zhiwei is about a hundred miles away, occasionally come to meet, but also come and go in a hurry, he seems to have some concerns, but he has been avoiding talking about it, Feng Zhiwei does not ask, but he muttered intentionally or unintentionally with Ning Cheng, the fart guard: "The Seventh Prince has just added a son, and there are old ministers in the court to worry about our Royal Highness, There is no reason to accept the side concubine now, a few days ago, Mr. Xin also said His Royal Highness, saying that he would not marry a wife and have children, where does this big position have his share? People say 'the king of Chu is weak and afraid of the heir', which can cut off his crown princeship...... Alas...... The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, ......" Saying that, Eunuch Ning walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving Feng Zhiwei standing in the shadow of the front door, posing in a gesture of sending off, stunned for a long time.

But there are some things that I can't worry about, Ning Yi doesn't say it, Feng Zhiwei can only be ignored, she is busy looking for money everywhere, she sits in the political envoy Yamen, and her subordinates participate in politics and senate to issue documents in various prefectures and counties, Jianghuai is rich, and large households gather, these merchants and big households leak a little silver between their fingers, which adds up to a considerable number, but most of them who have always been able to make a fortune are more able to keep money, and the name of "happy donation" goes down, and the governors and counties of various prefectures and counties frequently invite guests to drink tea, and those people are full of generosity to serve the country, and in the end they have only made up hundreds of thousands of taels, It's just a drop in the bucket, and when the number is reported, Feng Zhi smiled.

She smiled, others were not much, and several political senators who had heard of her reputation earlier shrank their necks - it was said that when Lord Wei smiled, someone would be unlucky.

"Last time I asked you to take my post to invite them to discuss the matter of donation, did you do it?" Feng Zhiwei leisurely drank tea.

Several senators looked at each other, all showing embarrassed looks, Feng Zhiwei put the tea bowl aside, "Huh? Immediately, a senator hurriedly said, "...... Please...... However, the Li family first sent someone to say that Master Li had cold legs and couldn't move, so he thanked the adult for rewarding his face, and then the richest man Liu said that Master Liu went to Beijing to congratulate Lord Liu, the servant of the ministry, on his birthday, and thank you for rewarding his face...... After that, the families replied...... This one...... That ......"

"There are all sorts of reasons to reply." Qian Yan, who is new to her politics, suddenly sneered, "Some say that they are sick, some say that they are buying Secai, and some are even more rare, saying that they are busy marrying a child!" There is also the Li family, who refused to refuse, and actually handed over an official reply letter, which contained three thousand taels of silver tickets - send it to Huazi! ”

"Oh? Is it? Feng Zhiwei was not moved, squinted his eyes and listened, with a shallow smile on the corner of his lips, and ordered: "Give me the list of the richest households in the entire Jianghuai Road." Someone handed it over immediately, and after reading it, she smiled and said, "Sure enough, no one in the court has made a fortune, and the first few in the queue seem to be related to several bigwigs in the court." ”

"The Jianghuai region is vast and rich in people, rich in products, developed water and land transportation, and is connected to the north and the south of the country, which is the most good place to make money." Qian Yan said, "Many members of the DPRK and the Central Committee have granges in Jianghuai, and most of the children of the branches are in Jianghuai, and almost all the fields in Jianghuai are divided by major families, and the relationship network here is the most close and complex. ”

"The second, the first to refuse, the Li family." Feng Zhiwei suddenly saw a familiar name and was stunned, "Who is it from Scholar Li of Dezhao Palace?" ”

"It is the people of the Li family, the Li family is the Jianghuai family, living here for generations, the 'Li Ji' silk village that can be seen everywhere in Jianghuai is his family, and he is currently the nephew of the Li family, but the grandson of the Li family is said to have returned to Jianghuai after traveling for a few years because of his unintentional career, according to the meaning of the Li scholar, he is not allowed to be the next generation of the Li family."

Feng Zhiwei put aside the list in his hand, revealing a **** smile - this grandson of the Li family's big house is very familiar.

Back then, the little girl in the back garden of Lanxiangyuan saved the beauty, and as soon as he made a move, he made his children fly, and also extorted 3,000 taels of silver, forcing people to go out of Beijing to study.

It's no wonder that he has no intention of pursuing a career, if a man encounters this kind of thing, his ambitions in this life will be wiped out.

Feng Zhiwei suddenly remembered again, it seems that the third lady of Qiufu, the youngest daughter of her uncle, Qiu Yuluo, is the one who married this Li Gongzi? Calculating the time, Qiu Yuluo should have been married a long time ago, right?

She was a little distracted - since Qiu Shangqi died on the battlefield, Mrs. Qiu suddenly suffered a stroke and lost her speech at the end of the thirteenth year of Changxi, and then she has been **** sickbed, and the huge bell rings and eats in Qiufu, and it is an overnight thing to fall, Feng Zhiwei has no intention of taking care of Qiu Mansion, but there is no **** who is chasing and fighting, those people in Qiu Mansion are no longer in her vision, and at this time she vaguely remembered that Qiu Yuluo was married in the second year after Mrs. Qiu fell ill, and she was still fighting in the grassland. Helian Zheng sent a congratulatory gift as the concubine of Shunyi, and then casually mentioned that she forgot about her complicated affairs, didn't she meet it now?

Her thoughts fluctuated here, and Qian Yan stared at her very strangely over there - why did Wei Hou have such a strange expression, obscene for a while and melancholy for a while?

Feng Zhi came back to his senses, slapped the post, and said, "Don't you want to pay for it?" If you let me out, I will say that I have written to the imperial court, asking for the abolition of the gentry grain exemption system, and to change it to a unified payment of grain, apportionment into the mu, and taxation according to the number of fields. ”

"One in one?" Qian Yan was taken aback, not surprised by the system itself, this was the tax system of Dacheng back then, but after the founding of Tiansheng, it was abolished and changed to a tax on people, and now Wei Hou suddenly wants to turn out the things that His Majesty vetoed back then, isn't it looking for scolding?

"At the beginning, Dacheng's tax system was obviously a good law and American policy, but it was later ruined by a group of old men." Feng Zhi glanced at him slightly, and said with a smile, "It's a good thing, don't be afraid of resistance and interference, eat the king's Lu and be loyal to the king, and it is also appropriate to abandon this body for the courtiers, the country and the people, you don't care, just let the wind out first." ”

Qian Yan looked at her expression, realized, and cautiously tested: "That...... Do you want to write an excerpt? ”

"I'll talk about it when I'm ready." Feng Zhiwei waved his hand.

Qian Yan immediately understood what Wei Hou meant-the so-called Shangshu court gentry pay grain in one piece, and the abolition of gentry privileges is all a false pretense, Wei Hou is going to force a Jianghuai iron rooster!

Tiansheng is strictly hierarchical, the gentry enjoy many privileges, once someone says that it will be canceled, it will inevitably stir up their huge interests, even if it is just a rumor, these iron roosters have to be panicked, not to mention that it is not the idle envoy who released this wind, it is Wei Zhi, the minister of the court who is often victorious, what he wants to do, but he has never been able to do it.

Jianghuai became lively in an instant, the big families exchanged frequent traffic and horses kept listening to the news, and the political envoy Yamen was naturally the most concerned, but unfortunately Feng Zhiwei closed the door after releasing the news, and it was strictly forbidden for officials at all levels in the yamen to communicate privately with local big households, she had a lot of secret means, and a senator secretly accepted a large family of 1,000 taels of silver and promised him to listen to the news, and the next day she was sent to a small county below to be a prison officer, and no one dared to communicate with the big family since then, Some people are still in the old habit of writing to Dijing's own related households to ask for news to obstruct them, but the reply there is the same: Wei Hou has the right to secretly fold the monograph, whether he writes to His Majesty to propose reform, whether His Majesty adopts it, and other idle officials cannot interfere, and at the end of the day, I have to remind him very solemnly - wait and see what happens, do not disobey, and do not go against the new political envoy, otherwise be careful to die a miserable death.

Jianghuai here is more and more panicked, at this time I feel that this political envoy is really not comparable to the past, in the past, the big families formed a group, and there was the support of the forces in Beijing, there has always been only the political envoy to tie their share, how can there be today's uneasiness and sadness, a seemingly true and illusory news, it blew up the entire Jianghuai!

When everyone's anxiety reached the highest peak, and the emotions of eagerness to understand the real situation accumulated to the peak, half a month later, the political envoy Yamen sent a letter to invite the Jianghuai families headed by Liu and Li Erjia to a banquet in the Shuiyue Villa on the outskirts of Jianghuai Mansion.

This time, the old cold leg is gone, the birthday greeting is also back, and the younger one is not married, and when he receives the post, he immediately dispatches quickly and goes straight to Shuiyue Villa.

On the ninth day of the fifth month, early in the morning, at the gate of the Shuiyue Villa, the official mansion 15 miles away from the Jianghuai capital, the carriages and horses were like dragons, and they stopped for several miles.

Among these sedan chairs, there is one quite conspicuous - it is a green and gold-topped car, where the fragrance is scattered, at a glance you know that it is a sedan chair used by the female dependents of a large family, usually it is not unusual, now it is abrupt on this occasion, and some people can't help but lift the curtain to take a look.

Someone recognized the mark of the Li family on the car, and gradually someone pointed and pointed, everyone heard that the daughter-in-law of the Li family's granddaughter-in-law, earlier was the lady of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and then the Qiu Mansion was defeated, married to Jianghuai, this Miss Qiu is worthy of being a military general, the style is very pungent, not long after, he got the support of Li University, and set aside the cousin who was originally in charge, and took over more than half of the silk business, I heard that her husband was not successful, and he was not interested in business, and he fought cocks and lackeys all day long, and the new aunt and grandmother of the Li family did not care, Playing around with her husband, she grabbed the right to wealth and power outside the housework, and even put on the intention of taking all the Li family in Jianghuai's second place, which was originally a rumor, but now on this occasion, the Li family is really her to participate, and everyone is a little more suspicious - is the rumor true?

The feast was set for noon, and in the middle of the morning, all the guests had already arrived, and they were waiting anxiously, when they suddenly heard the sound of the news.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrivedβ€”"

"First Wait, Jianghuai Bu's political envoy Lord Wei has arrived-"

Two reports came, everyone was shocked, I didn't hear that His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was supervising the work in Baizhou, would also come to the meeting, and hurriedly rushed out to see, the black pressure at the door of the villa knelt on the ground, and saw two eight people carrying a sedan chair, in the crowd of guards, one after the other.

Feng Zhiwei in a sedan chair in the back, was frowning slightly at this time, she didn't know that Ning Yi would come today, she met Ning Yi on the way out of the yamen, after Ning Yi heard about this Hongmen banquet, even if he said that this matter was also for him, he naturally couldn't stay out of the matter and accompanied him all the way.

Since he didn't have anything to do, with this powerful prince in charge, he thought that the money would have twice the effect with half the effort.

Seeing that Ning Yi's sedan chair in front of him had just stopped, and suddenly the curtain of the cuigai car parked in the carriage and horse team on the side was lifted, and the aunt and grandmother of the Li family, who had been staying in the car and did not come out, Qiu Yuluo, the third lady of the Qiu family, walked out with her back straight.

She is thinly powdered, her face is exquisite, her clothes are gorgeous but not glamorous, and she is obviously well-dressed.

Feng Zhiwei stared at her and narrowed his eyes.

Qiu Yuluo naturally didn't know that it was her in the sedan chair behind, she walked calmly to the front of the Ning Yi sedan chair in front of everyone's eyes, Ying Ying gave a salute, and said slightly shyly and generously: "The people's woman Qiu Yuluo, see Your Highness, and thank Your Highness for that day...... A helping hand. ”
