The injuries on An Qingchen's face have gradually improved, and the two accompanying imperial doctors came by the emperor's order, trembling all day long, and using the best medicine on An Qingchen, both internal and external. Qingchen even felt that his face was whiter and tenderer than before.

On this day, Qingchen changed into men's clothes, brought a peach, avoided the eyes and ears of the two imperial doctors, and finally came to the streets of Kyoto, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, listening to the energetic shouts of the hawkers, the haze in Qingchen's heart was swept away, and such a fresh day was comparable to the inner courtyard of the palace.

Qingchen shook all the way past the Tongxin Building of the Mo family and walked through the famous Warm Fragrance Pavilion in Kyoto. When I came to Zhou Yun's Tianyin Fang, my footsteps were slight, and I saw that there were people in front of the workshop, and there were still people waiting in the workshop, it seemed that Zhou Yun's business was good. After Tianyinfang is the Spiegel Pavilion, a few days later, the Spiegel Pavilion is still overcrowded, seeing Qingchen walking into the store, some women began to whisper:

I heard that this is the young master of the Spiegel Pavilion.

Oh, that's the dude.

……

An Qingchen walked calmly in the attention of all the women, and smiled politely back from time to time before entering the inner hall. Shopkeeper Liu has already prepared the accounts of the past few days, just waiting for the dust to be seen.

Qingchen opened the account book and saw that every account was clear, and it seemed that she had found a good shopkeeper. Because the Spiegel Pavilion had not been open long ago, the accounts were not very large, and after a while, Qingchen looked through the accounts of the past few days. Seeing that Qingchen finished reading the account book, Shopkeeper Liu said: "Owner, our Mingjing Pavilion has been open for more than a month, and the income on the account has exceeded 10,000 taels of silver. One of the customers bought a set of goblet crystal cups for 2,000 taels. ”

Qingchen but smiled silently, if Kyoto had more of this kind of injustice, business would be much better.

Shopkeeper Liu continued: "The business in the store has been getting better and better recently, but there are only two guys, and they are a little too busy. ”

Qingchen nodded and said: "Shopkeeper Liu is reasonable, the store really needs to hire another guy, and all the guys in Mingjing Pavilion, including Shopkeeper Liu, from next month, each person will increase their wages by thirty percent." ”

Shopkeeper Liu looked grateful and said, "I thank the owner on behalf of everyone." "Mingjing Pavilion has a lot of wages for the guys, if you add another thirty percent, you will soon catch up with the Tongxin Building next to it, and the shopkeeper Liu is thinking in his heart, if it goes on like this, he will be able to marry his youngest son in two years.

Qingchen turned to ask Xiao Tao, "How is the glass workshop now?" Xiao Tao's ability was beyond Qingchen's expectations, I really didn't expect that she could take care of the two workshops in an orderly manner at such a young age.

"Back to the ...... As for the owner, the one on the mountain is in a more simple condition, and it is inconvenient to transport, and the one at the bottom of the mountain is now working day and night. Little Peach replied.

"The house on the mountain is really inconvenient, Xiao Tao, you go and find a new workshop today, you have to be a little closer to the Spiegel Pavilion, and move the house on the mountain down the mountain as much as possible. In addition, each workshop has added some manpower, and the wages of the men are also increased by 30% according to the rules of the Spiegel Pavilion. You need to spend money to withdraw it from your account. ”

Xiao Tao took the order and left, and the efficiency of the work can be seen.

Qingchen took a sip of tea, walked out of the Spiegel Pavilion, and got ready to take a stroll through the streets of this big week.

Walking and walking, I came to a garden, crowded, quite lively, Qingchen entered the door to see, it was a drama garden and a teahouse, there was no big drama staged at this time, but a middle-aged scholar, holding a piece of shocking wood, it seemed to be telling a story.

Qingchen is quite yearning for the ancient "storytelling", and feels that it is more leisurely than watching movies, and more direct than singing big dramas.

This person's storytelling is indeed wonderful, the language is vivid, the plot is full of ups and downs, and when it comes to the most important places, people's hearts are hanging. I saw him stunned and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, who are you talking about the Southern Tang General," someone said in the audience: "Could it be the young master of the Southern Tang Dynasty who is known as the ghost-faced general." ”

"It is this person, this person is the young master of the Southern Tang Dynasty, known as the ghost face general, only because of this person who covers his face with a mask all the year round, few people have seen his true face, and this person is murderous in nature, killing people without blinking, how many good men in my Da Zhou died under his knife. He has been living abroad for many years, and now he has just returned to the dynasty, and the regent of the Southern Tang Dynasty is getting older, and I am afraid that it will not be long before this ghost-faced general will be in charge of the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

When everyone heard this, their faces were sad: "Is there no one in my big week?" ”

I saw that the storyteller changed his words and said: "Although this ghost-faced general is powerful, but my Great Zhou soldiers are not vegetarians, just when the ghost-faced general drove straight in, my Great Zhou War God General An and Mo Wang Ye attacked left and right, forced him back, and our army won a complete victory!" ”

The people listening to the book below suddenly burst into cheers: "Da Zhou will win!" The Great Zhou God of War will win" Qingchen actually felt the most simple patriotic heart of the people in this teahouse storytelling.

In the cheers of everyone, Qingchen heard the humanity at the table next to him: "I heard that my Great Zhou soldiers were attacked by the southern army on the way back to the court, and the grain and grass were destroyed. ”

Another said, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

The man added, "I have just returned from Xiyuan with a caravan, and the people over there are talking. ”

……

When Qingchen heard this, she was worried, and she immediately got up, ready to ask Zhou Xiao for clarification. Just as she stepped out of the door of the teahouse, a horse came galloping, and when she saw Qingchen, she immediately stopped the reins, and because she stopped too quickly, she raised a puff of dust. Qingchen saw that the person on the horse was the person she was looking for.

When Zhou Xiao saw Qingchen, he didn't say a word, pulled her on the horse, and said while raising his whip: "Sit down, don't move, follow me back to the general's mansion first." ”

Qingchen was taken aback, isn't it true that as the man said just now, there has been a change in the border pass: "Is it a sneak attack by our army?" Is the grain and grass ruined? ”

Zhou Xiao only rode his horse, pursed his lips, and didn't say a word. Seeing this, Qingchen had to put aside the doubts in his heart. After getting the general's mansion, Zhou Xiao dismounted and walked quickly to the study, and Qingchen followed.

As soon as he arrived at the study, Qingchen couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "Zhou Xiao, what is the matter?" ”

"As you just said, our army was attacked by the Southern Army, and the grain and grass were destroyed. Not only that, but the spare grain and grass have been withheld by local officials at various levels, and now our army has no food available. ”

"Who is so bold as to dare to withhold military rations privately." Qingchen couldn't help but be angry, and the grain and grass that the Great Zhou soldiers saved their lives actually had officials who dared to move.

"The Ministry of Officials is investigating this matter thoroughly. I asked for orders to go to the front to support, and my father has agreed to leave today. You have to be careful when you are alone in Kyoto, if my mother comes to find fault, you will send a girl to find the third emperor brother, and don't enter the palace casually if you have nothing to do. Zhou Xiao admonished.

Qingchen frowned and said, "Now that I know that the palace is not a good place, if it weren't for the holy will, I wouldn't have entered the palace if I was killed." ”

Zhou Xiao glanced at An Qingchen deeply, turned around and said, "I'm leaving, you, be careful." ”

Qingchen stepped forward and said, "I'm going with you." ”

Zhou Xiao didn't think about it, so he rushed out and said, "No!" ”

Seeing that Zhou Xiao's attitude was so resolute, Qingchen didn't want to say more to him, he didn't let him go, she had her own way to follow: "When are you leaving?" ”

Zhou Xiao saw that Qingchen didn't mention going again, so his tone softened, and said, "It's noon today." ”

As soon as Zhou Xiao left, Qingchen called Uncle Zhong and Xiao Tao, who had just come back from outside, and said, "I'm going to go far away, Uncle Zhong, please help take care of a thing in the house." ”

Uncle Zhong said: "Miss, don't worry, the old slave will definitely take care of the general's mansion." But why did the young lady go far away? Uncle Zhong said worriedly. His young lady has changed a lot recently, compared with before, it seems to be a different person, and she is extremely popular with people, but after all, she is still young and a girl.

"Uncle Zhong, don't worry, I'm measured." Dust Removal Road.

Since the master said so, what else does he, as a subordinate, have to say: "I hope that Miss will take care of herself." ”

Qingchen said gratefully, "I will." ”

Xiao Tao said: "Miss, let Xiao Tao go with you." ”

"No, I don't. Xiao Tao, you have your own things to do, I handed over the Spiegel Pavilion and the two workshops to you, only if you are here, I can leave with peace of mind. ”

Xiao Tao said with tears in her eyes: "Miss, I will definitely do a good job of what Miss explained." ”

After Qingchen asked the two of them to retreat, he simply packed up some bags, looked at the sun, it was not far from noon, so he hurried away.

At noon, the army marched. Zhou Xiao was dressed in a black suit, which was integrated with his mount, and the cold air emitted from his body made people dare not approach. He searched through the crowd of people to see him off for a long time, but he was disappointed that he could not find the person he was looking for. Yes, she wished she was far away from him, how could she come to see him off.

Zhou Xiao gave an order, "Let's go!" He finally turned his head to take a look, and rode away resolutely, not noticing that there was an additional recruit at the back of the group, thin and weak, with clear eyes......
