Chapter 102: Jianye's Momentum (2nd Update)
Let's say that Qi Qingyu slept all the way back to Jianye City on the horse.
After waking up, I washed it and changed into a fresh and comfortable draped silk begonia plain trim full-breasted skirt. In fact, when she was a child, she liked to wear full-breasted skirts, how elegant, and added to the lightness of being free and unrestrained.
Chen Zhi's father still stayed in the back kitchen of Qinglian Restaurant to help, and Chen Zhi's brothers and sisters stopped singing, she served Qi Qingyu, and Chen Erge temporarily followed Chen Dangtou.
Because he believed in Shi Qing's ability, Qi Qingyu put aside the Chen family's case and concentrated on thinking about how to deal with Zuo's indifference.
It stands to reason that Mrs. Zuo should have sent someone to let the Qi family come to the house today, but when she asked Zeng, she didn't say that someone would come to spread the word.
In the current situation, either someone in the inner courtyard of Zuofu opposes the Qi family making a hairpin set for the old lady, or Mrs. Zuo is still testing her.
If she speculates like this, she must make a correct judgment and give a corresponding response, and if she does it right, she can win the favor of the other party.
See, it's so hard to deal with a noble lady.
Qi Qingyu asked Chen Zhi to wait for the four treasures of the study, she was a little clumsy, but Li Zi stood on the side, too lazy to help.
Qi Qingyu gave enough patience to wait for Chen Zhi to polish the ink, and then took the pen and ink to draw the layout of Jianye City on rice paper, and then marked the big families and listed their corresponding official positions and status in Jianye.
The Zuo clan because their ancestors were the confidants of the Great Chu Gaozu, after the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, the Gaozu used the excuse to kill a lot of meritorious but unvirtuous ministers, and the remaining nine people each had a reward, one of whom was Zuo Qi.
Zuo Qi had insight into Tianwei and asked himself to defend the south of the Yangtze River and build Yecheng. A peaceful life, blessings to future generations.
Zuo Qi is kind and charitable, and has a high status in Jianye, so the Zuo family can stand for 300 years, which can be said to be deep-rooted, and the family power is intertwined.
Although Zuo Lingyin's father, Zuo Yu, has long expressed his loyalty to the crown prince, but the current queen family has long been eyeing the wealthy Jianye, how can it be that a mere word of loyalty can give up the intention of controlling Jianye.
The biggest family conflict of the Zuo family now is that the queen's brother Li Shanhui asked to marry the Zuo family and set the eldest daughter Zuo Lingyin as the second son-in-law. But the Huang family in Jizhou intended to marry the Zuo family the year before last. The candidate for the sect woman is also Zuo Lingyin.
Zuo Yu has negotiated several times. The Li family and the Huang family did not give in to each other, and they were about to win Zuo Lingyin, so Zuo Yu was embarrassed.
Despite this, Li Shanhui has not alarmed the queen to come forward to put pressure in person. Only then did Zuo Lingyin want to use his crooked brain when the Huang family came to Jianye in Jizhou. Facilitating family affairs.
Because the Yellow Crane is an only son. If he doesn't nod, Mrs. Huang won't force it.
Qi Qingyu thought for a long time, and set the wolf's pen in the position of the Fang family, the chief soldier of Jianye-Fang Yang, the head of the Fang family, was Li Shanhui's brother-in-law.
Although he has the power of the army. However, in the past two years, the queen has secretly recruited troops and horses for the prince, and she is very short of silver, and she is filial piety to her relatives who rely on the big tree to enjoy the shade, so as to meet the expenses.
However, a family of military generals like the Fang family is tired of wanting to be greedy for some silver when there is no war, unlike the Zuo family, who holds the official position of a political secretary and secretly collects money happily.
At the beginning of this year, with the support of Li Shanhui, Fang Yang began to get involved in Jianye's most lucrative industry, trying to get a share of the Zuo pie.
Fang Yang and Zuo Yu secretly competed, and they almost didn't tear their faces.
Qi Qingyu has silver.
Although Qi Qingyu didn't know that his grandmother had so much silver at this time in his previous life, since he was starting over, he would definitely have to make good use of the advantage of a mountain of silver.
After making up his mind, Qi Qingyu took out the 100,000 taels of silver tickets given by Huang He, "Li Zi, you go and help me give this silver ticket to Uncle Ming, and let him exchange it for ten silver tickets with small denominations." "She's very cunning, other people's money hasn't been spent, why should she spend her own?
Li Zi took it with both hands, originally peeping at it, but he was afraid that the eyes behind him could penetrate people, so he still put away his curiosity.
Qi Qingyu asked Chen Zhi to go to the shopkeeper of Qinglian Restaurant to get a sticker.
Chen Zhi didn't ask if the post was a thing, he took the order and came back in a while.
The worship stickers prepared by Qinglian Restaurant are very exquisite, bordered with silver patterns of bamboo leaves, dark lines of orchids on the face, and oars are fragrant.
Qi Qingyu opened it, changed it to a small two-size brush, wrote the content in block letters, and then sealed it with the veneer and handed it to Chen Zhi, "Xiangnan is outside, you give it to him, let him wait for Uncle Ming to come back, attach a silver ticket and send it to General Fang's Mansion." ”
The General Army's Palace! When Chen Zhi heard this, his hands shook in fright, and he almost couldn't catch the sticker.
Qi Qingyu disagreed, "Xiang Nan just has a little brown hair, is not too tall, and has a dimple when he laughs." ”
Chen Zhi bit his lip, tried to make his tremor less obvious, and walked out with a blessing.
Behind her, Qi Qingyu showed a light smile, thinking that she still had to meet Huang He to be careful in her calculations.
Before his heart fell, the window in the bedroom inexplicably made a slight abnormal sound, Qi Qingyu hurriedly leaned behind the screen to peep, only to see Huang He casually grab a towel to wipe his sweat.
As soon as Cao Cao is really said, Cao Cao will arrive.
Qi Qingyu happily trotted into the bedroom and called sweetly: "Brother Huang is so wow." ”
"Scared? Sixth girl, I'm scared to death. Huang He was obviously startled, and immediately made a silent gesture, "We have something important to tell you, and we will leave in a while." ”
"You say." Qi Qingyu is happy, but she is calm.
"Let's ask for the guidance of a master, and he will tell you eight words: break and then stand, and make good connections." The yellow crane gasped and looked around.
Qi Qingyu didn't care about pondering this eight-character mantra, and hurriedly went to the small hall to bring in the kettle and deliver it to him.
Huang He took the spout of the pot and drank it all before quenching his thirst.
"You have to remember, he said you know what it means." Huang He put down the kettle and told again.
Qi Qingyu nodded vigorously to show that he would be attentive, but the most important thing now was Huang He's lifelong event that would affect the current situation.
"Huang Gongzi, do you know the situation in Jianye?" Qi Qingyu asked tentatively.
"What is the situation in Jianye? I have to ask Zheng Changge about this. Huang He scratched his head and looked at Qi Qingyu puzzled.
"Zheng Changge was a guest in Zuofu yesterday, and he and that young master Zuo went to Youqi Mountain to enjoy the mountains and waters." Qi Qingyu thought to herself, where to ask? What's more, Zheng Changge pretended to be unwilling to deal with her, so she didn't bother to stick to his cold face.
"This girl is going to Zuofu as a guest? Dare to eat and drink and greet, Lao Tzu eats dust on the road! Huang He was a little indignant, and then said boldly: "What do the six girls want to know, just say, I'll let Zhu Du's little white face solve your puzzles!" ”
Qi Qingyu crooked his little braincase, please, it's you who needs to be solved. didn't beat around the bush with Huang He, and said bluntly: "Do you know Hou Ye Li?" ”
"Of course I know, there is only one Hou Ye surnamed Li, Li Shanhui, the queen's brother-in-law, and the emperor's brother-in-law." Huang He pointed to the side of the case and invited Qi Qingyu to sit down and discuss it in detail.
It stands to reason that this is not in line with etiquette, but who cares?
"Hou Ye Li wants to hire Lingyin, the eldest daughter of the Zuo family, as his wife for his second son, do you know this relationship?" (To be continued......)
