On the second day, Sima Yulou went to the study of Fengyulou, called Ming Xin over, and asked, "Is Qi Cong still in Jiangnan?" ”

Ming Xinyu said: "I received a pigeon letter the day before yesterday, saying that the last time Cheng Ye asked him to investigate, he was ready to come back in a few days." ”

Sima Yulou nodded, knowing that it was just a while after the Chinese New Year, Jin Yi asked Cheng Lei to check the source of goods of several industries of the Xu family in Jiangnan, and found that it seemed to be somewhat involved with Jiangnan Silk Mansion.

"You tell him with a pigeon letter that you don't have to come back,,......" Sima Yulou was silent for a long time, and made a decision in his heart, "Let him go to Liangzhou, I will write a letter later, and when the team of Yishantang to Liangzhou sets off in two days, you ask Xia Houyi to arrange for someone to follow, and bring the letter to Liangzhou and hand it over to Qi Cong." ”

Mingxin was a little surprised, Qi Cong was originally a person who was "a night of wind and rain", and two years ago he arranged to enter Yishantang to take charge of the song and dance workshops opened in various places, and built a complete set of news channels in two or three years.

As the leading businessman, Yishantang is a big businessman, because there are transactions in various places, and all kinds of news are well-informed, Qi Cong does most of the things for the prince is not a business matter, although he still uses the pigeon letter channel of Yishantang, the news is directly transmitted to his own hands, and the code language used in the correspondence is different from the set of Yishantang, which is the original creation of the prince.

Shuzhong, where Meiju is located, is under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou, and it is also the most widely reported place in Yishantang, I don't know what the prince wants to investigate in Liangzhou, so he doesn't use the power of Yishantang, but sends his own direct staff to do it.

Although Ming Xin hesitated in his heart, his face was unmoved, and he nodded in agreement.

Now Ji Shuxuan has handed over all the Yishantang to Sima Yulou for management, and he no longer interferes, but Sima Yulou has deliberately cultivated some of his own forces in recent years, and he uses people who are "one night of wind and rain".

Sima Yulou did not distrust Ji Shuxuan, he knew that Mr. Ji had taught him everything he had learned all his life, but over the years, he had vaguely noticed that Mr. Ji was obscure in many things, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable.

And what he was worried about was also difficult to say, he knew last night that Jin Yi's residual poison had not been cleared, and the speculation in his heart over the years made him even more uncalm, so he finally decided to bypass Mr. Ji and investigate by himself.

In the next two days, Jin Yi has been busy with things in the garden, and Yun Hui really didn't ask her to serve anymore, but there was another Xie Yingran behind her.

Xie Yingran is even more sticky than Jinru that day, but Jinru has a brighter temperament, and Xie Yingran is much more squeamish. When she was walking in the garden, she complained that it was too hot for a while, and said that she was tired of walking, Jin Yi asked her to go to Yunhui's house to sit, Xie Yingran pouted, "Sister-in-law only pulled my brother to talk, and I was kicked out by her just after I sat for a while." ”

Although Xie Yingran was tired in the garden, Jinyi asked people to take some pastries and snacks to relieve her boredom from time to time, especially the various drinks that were prepared, such as green plum soup, cherry condensation, frozen pear lotus seed honey, Xie Yingran ate happily, and she was even reluctant to leave Jinyi, and even ate in the Lingxi Building at noon.

By the evening of May 17, all the flowers in the garden had been transplanted, and the craftsmen were dismantling the bamboo frames and finishing the cleaning.

The plaque of Sima Yulou's personal inscription has been made, and when the plaque was hung, the concubine brought Yunhui and Xie Weiran over together.

There are naturally formed landscape dark patterns on the golden silk nanmu plaque, and the three big characters of "dark fragrance garden" with gilded ancient seals are written on it.

Xie Weiran nodded and praised: "The words of the jade building are magnificent, quite the meaning of iron horse Jinge, if there is another war in the future, the emperor entrusts you to lead the army, and the prestige of King Chuchen will not be weaker than back then." ”

Sima Yulou listened to his implicit compliment, and just smiled casually: "Brother-in-law thinks highly of me, I am just an idle prince, but I am a layman in leading the army to fight." Beisai has been under the jurisdiction of the Marquis of Anbian in Jing'an Ping'an Tai for these years, and the Duke of Zhenguo often praises the Hou Ye in front of the emperor for his good governance of the army, many of which are the credit of your brother-in-law. ”

Xie Weiran was about to speak, but Yun Hui interrupted him and said, "You want to talk about political affairs, and the two of you will talk about it yourself." This will accompany my mother to visit the garden, and listen to these really disappointing. ”

Xie Weiran smiled, "Madam is right, this time I went back to Beijing to accompany you, let's not talk about this." ”

The concubine glanced at him, a moment of inquiry flashed in her eyes, and she turned her head to Jin Yi and said with a smile: "You really only took six or seven days to clean up such a large garden, let's go in and take a look, and see what the word 'dark incense' in the Yulou title means." ”

Yun Hui glanced at Jin Yi, "The princess ordered people to plant so many flowers, it must be full of flowers, I don't know why it is 'dark incense'?" I'm a little curious, too. ”

Jin Yi smiled, did not explain, and said to the concubine: "Then invite my mother into the garden to enjoy it." ”

Jin Yi and Yun Hui were accompanied by the concubine, Xie Yingran was still next to Jin Yi's side, Sima Yulou had to walk side by side with Xie Weiran, Ming'er ran back and forth on the bluestone path in the garden, and many maids and wives were followed behind them, walking towards the garden.

As soon as you enter the garden, you will be greeted by a majestic stone mountain made of Lingbi stones, the scenery in the garden will be blocked, there is a faint fragrance of flowers, only smell its fragrance and do not see the shadow of the flowers, people can't help but want to cross the stone mountain quickly, to find out.

Turn around the stone mountain and see four or five Xifu begonias planted in front of the row, the trees are full of pink and white flowers, and a few small-leaved podocarpus trees are lined with the back, which is more bright and bright, and the color is dazzling.

The concubine nodded and smiled: "Originally, a few Xifu begonias here, although they also bloom every year, they don't feel so delicate, but now these podocarpus trees have been added, but they make this flower even more beautiful." ”

Yun Hui was not convinced, and dismantled the stage and said: "If it is just that Shishan blocks this flower, it is called dark incense, but it is too shallow." ”

Jin Yi smiled at her, noncommittal about her evaluation, and only said, "Let's take a look at it later." ”

Bypassing the Xifu begonia, when the fragrance is getting farther away, a few bushes of magnolia appear in the eyes, at this time the nose smells the fragrant fragrance of the begonia, sandwiched the sweetness of the magnolia, and then walked a few steps, the sweet fragrance around is mixed with the rich atmosphere of the peony, Jin Yi guided everyone to a fork in the bluestone road to take a few steps, and the lazuli table and stool were placed under the dense shade, which can be used to rest when visiting the garden.

Standing here, I only feel that the fragrance of flowers around is leisurely, in addition to the previous begonia, magnolia, peony, there is a trace of osmanthus fragrance, people are in the flowers, but it is like being in a magnificent palace.

Jin Yi said: "These four are planted with white begonia magnolia, Xifu begonia, gold powder peony and cinnabar cinnamon, synthesizing the meaning of 'Yutang wealth'. The color of the flower is from pink and white to crimson red, the aroma is also different from the shade, if you go along the road, the fragrance of the flower is from light to strong, changeable, here is in the middle of the 'Yutang Wealth', and the fragrance is different from other places.
