290. Chapter 290
In October in Beijing, it was early in winter, and the people put on winter clothes, and the weather was far colder than Changping.
Shangjing is the place where the imperial city is located, and this casually pulls a person on the street, maybe they are all powerful and noble people who can't be provoked, not to mention that they can't be provoked easily, that is, they have to brew again and again before they can say anything, so as not to offend people and don't know it.
In Shangjing, where the powerful are all over the place, casually kill a white body that is nothing, throw a hundred and ten taels of silver, but it will be fine.
Su Liu lifted the curtain of the car and glanced out, the tall city gate, just like the one in the Forbidden City in Beijing, was three feet thick at the end, and the heavy city gate required several people to open.
I saw a long queue of cars and dragons into the city, and there were no road guides directly in the way, and there were many carriages, all of which were hung with names representing their identities, as for what the names were, Su Liu didn't recognize them, but they only knew that they must be very noble, otherwise why did the people's cars get to the city gate, and they were directly released without checking?
In this era, sure enough, the imperial power is supreme, this is really true, Su Liu put down the curtain and reminded the girl next to him again: "This place in Beijing is deeper than a waterhole, you must not be cautious in your words and deeds, you should have more eyes and ears in everything, but open your mouth less." If I offend the powerful, I can't save you even if I want to. ”
When she went out this time, Su Liu brought Shuangning and Xueluo two girls, and in order to make it easier, she also brought Mrs. Cui, in case there is anything that can't be handled by the unmarried girl's family, it is more convenient to have a grandmother here.
Cui Pozi and Xueluo were both calm, so they naturally nodded, Shuangning's temperament was clever but a little jumpy, but he also knew that Shangjing was not a small place like Changping Baise, so he also pressed his excitement and sat in the carriage seriously.
While he was talking, the car moved, and the sound of wheels began to enter the city.
The prosperity of Shangjing is naturally first-class, and there is no reason why you are reluctant to move around when the weather is cold, so there are many pedestrians on the street, bustling, and it is as lively as a festival.
Shuang Ning has been sitting upright, just sitting on pins and needles, her ears are up, and her eyes are constantly glancing at the car curtain, but she doesn't dare to move because Su Liu is there.
Su Liu saw that it was funny, so he said: "If you want to see it, you can lift the curtain and see, fidgeting, I think what's wrong with you!" ”
"Girl......" Shuang Ningjiao sneered, then generously lifted a corner of the car curtain to look out, and sighed: "There are so many people in Beijing, there are many houses, and the road is particularly spacious." Ho, girl, you see, that guy is still holding a fan, ouch, I'm cold for him. ”
Su Liu laughed when he heard this, and looked out through the small corner, and his heart was also a little excited.
This is a living antiquity, not the kind of set that is shown on TV, but a real thing.
The quaint and atmospheric houses, lined up one after another, are lined with shops on both sides of the spacious street, and all kinds of goods are dazzling.
Because it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many powerful officials and relatives who are dressed in high clothes, so from time to time you can see some young ladies wearing curtains, and sons and brothers who are holding fans or holding jade flutes and pretending to be thirteen.
Su Liu knows that the real ladies are beautiful and have a rigorous family style, and they must not be able to go out easily, especially those ladies of the family, who make jewelry and clothes, all of which are tailored to the door of the shop, so as not to be accidentally bumped outside and damage the reputation of the boudoir and ruin the family style. Even if you want to go out, you have to be surrounded by groups of slaves, of course, there are also people with average conditions at home, who come out with only a girl, and there are poor people everywhere.
No matter which one it is, it is not something that Su Liu can afford to provoke, to put it bluntly, she is a white body, if you move the name of the general's fiancée, it is estimated that it will not be held by someone, but trampled to death, sometimes, identity does not bring benefits to yourself, but brings disadvantages.
Therefore, when it is not necessary, Su Liu is not ready to show this identity, in the end, she has no long body, a white body, and she may be even more ostracized and secretly attacked if she says it.
The carriage walked for half an hour before it stopped at an inn, and after a while, Song Fei's girl came over and spoke.
In Shangjing, Su Liu only knew the two Song Fei brothers, and when they came back this time, both of them came back, so naturally they wanted to go back to the Anqing Marquis Mansion to live, and Su Liu couldn't follow him.
According to Song Fei's meaning, their Song family also has a four-entry house in Shangjing, Su Liu can go there to live, but Su Liu refused, it is always inconvenient to send people under the fence, her own meaning is to live in the inn first, and then rent a small courtyard to live for a month and a half, and then return to Gyeongju when everything is taken care of.
Yes, the trip to Beijing was postponed again and again, and after the chili sauce matter came to a while, Su Liu came to Beijing with Song Fei, striving to take over all the things given by Ning Guang before the year, so that he could go home for the New Year with peace of mind.
In fact, so far this year, Su Liu and they have also earned a lot of silver, among them, the dividend of the Ejiao workshop is the most impressive, plus the chili sauce has also earned a lot, as well as the food and interest of the shop and the field, etc., in Baise Town, it is a little rich woman, and it is also possible to buy a small house in Shangjing.
Su Liu also thought about buying a house, after all, after taking over Ning Guang's industry, there would probably be more days to go to Beijing in the future, and it would be inconvenient to stay in a guest house.
But she also knows that buying a house is not something that can be bought, Shangjing is like a modern capital, every inch of land is expensive, you spend a few thousand taels, and what you can buy is a small house with two entrances.
So she is not in a hurry about this matter, she only entrusted the two brothers Song Fei, and if there is a suitable one, it will not be too late.
After entering the inn and staying, Song Fei took out a jade token from his arms, with the word Anqing written on it, saying that this was the token in their house, if something really happened, he could show this token, or he could go to the Anqing Hou Mansion for help.
Su Liu generously took it and bowed his knees to thank him.
She will not be hypocritical, there are powerful people all over the place, if she doesn't have anything to save her life, if she dies, she will die, who dares to care if you are someone's fiancée, Song Fei's thighs, can rely on it naturally.
"Look, you're afraid of death." Song Xiao saw her smile brightly, and couldn't help but snort disdainfully, and said, "Ning Guang also gave you a piece of jade, and took it out at a critical moment, who really dares to touch you?" ”
Su Liu listened, and subconsciously pressed his heart, there was a piece of round jade pasted there, which was sent by Ning Guang, I heard that it was a gift from the emperor, and I heard that she was going to come to Beijing, so she was specially used to suppress her shock and represent her identity.
The thing given by the emperor is given by the emperor, and others can't easily move it, and they can't give it away or lose it, this is a good thing to save their lives, but Ning Guang just gave it to Su Liu, which shows his intentions.
"Didn't you say it, this thing is not easy to show, the royal gift, you can't give it to people, I don't want to show it until it's the key, so as not to cause trouble for him." Su Liu's face was taken for granted.
Song Xiao pursed his lips when he heard this, and snorted, not knowing whether he was jealous or what.
Song Fei smiled and said: "Your piece is more useful than mine, but you are also right to do it, don't show it until the critical moment, sometimes good things bring more disasters." ”
Su Liu nodded.
Song Fei explained a few more words, this long journey, Su Liu and the others are resting here, they will go back to Anqinghou Mansion today, I am afraid that they will not be able to come out again, if they are free tomorrow, come over again, as for the matter of the house, they will also deal with it.
Su Liu knew the identities of the two, although she was to accompany her to Beijing to deal with the matter of receiving Ning Guang's industry, but people also had something to do, and they had to fulfill their filial piety on behalf of their parents, so they definitely couldn't accompany them all the time.
Before leaving, Song Fei had to take two more cans of chili sauce, and Su Liu knew that he had a plan, so he gave her a jar of the latest and freshest flavors.
After the Song Fei brothers left, Su Liu and the others settled down in the inn, and they didn't plan to go out, they ate, lived and freshened up in the room, so as not to collide with people who couldn't be provoked.
In the Rong'an Hall of the Marquis of Guangning, a noble lady about forty years old dressed in a gorgeous reward was crooked on the chaise longue and pretended to sleep, and a little girl kneeling at her feet with a beautiful mallet was holding a beauty mallet to help her beat her legs, and on the side of her head, another beautiful maid was helping her gently press her temples on both sides.
"Mother, mother."
Suddenly, a voice came in from outside, and the beautiful woman immediately opened her eyes, and the white and tender spoon waved, and the two girls immediately retreated.
Soon, a man about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a gorgeous costume and a purple and gold crown, trotted in quickly.
The beautiful woman sat up, looked at the man who came in, and said angrily: "Look at you, you are going to be a father, and you are still very arrogant, and you are still walking in such a hurry, so that your father can see it, and you have to scold." It's going to be cold this day, so you can hit the wind carefully. ”
"Mother, listen to me, guess who I saw just now?" The man interrupted her, urgently.
The beautiful woman was stunned: "Who?" ”
"It's Song Xiao, the Nasao boy in the Anqing Marquis Mansion, and the third son, Song Fei."
The beautiful woman was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said with big watery eyes: "So what? ”
"Mother, what Duan Zhong said that day, Ning Zhenguang's cheap breed and a country girl are married, right? And the wild girl and Song Fei have some friendship, right? The man said: "Just now I saw Song Fei's two brothers accompanying a woman into the city and staying at the Chengyu Inn. As soon as I looked at the girl's turtle appearance, I knew that she was Ning Zhenguang's lowly fiancée. ”
"Seriously?" The beautiful woman's brows furrowed, and she said, "What are they doing here?" ”
"Who knows, it's good that I want to know, but that turtle and Ning Zhenguang are really a natural pair, a perfect match! Hum! That wild seed has pressed me all my life, this time the master I am better than him, at least the master's wife is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, hum! The man said with a smug expression.
That's right, this mother and son are Ning Guang's stepmother, the current Guangning Marquis's wife Ning Wu, and this man is her son, Ning Zhenhong.
Wu Shi glanced at him when he heard this, and there was puzzlement in his eyes, what did that girl do when she came to Beijing, could she be here to explore the family?
