Chapter 650: The Old Mansion in Yangzhou
Didn't a great man in later generations say that there are no eternal friends and enemies in this world, only eternal interests.
This sentence is true in any era, and this time in Datang is no exception.
As long as it is tied to the interests of the Jiangnan clan, then many things will happen in the future. Chen Fang can control it.
Take 10,000 steps back, if Wu Meiniang is really the emperor in the future, and the governor of Yangzhou really wants to rebel, the biggest interests of the Jiangnan clan are tied up with the South Workshop, and several Jiangnan clans will respond to him?
The biggest thing in Shangyuan was so simple and settled, Chen Fang lived in Shangyuan for a few more days, not for anything else, just to teach and teach Qian'er, some of the most basic human feelings Chen Fang taught herself, this girl is still pure-minded, don't let her understand something, this South Workshop Chen Fang really didn't dare to hand it over to her.
Of course, Chen Fang has also been knocking and knocking Qin in the past few days, asking her not to have any other thoughts here in Qian'er.
This rich female businessman, Chen Fang is not at ease in the end, businessmen are heavy on profits, and it will not be good to do anything for profit when the time comes.
The night of Shangyuan was pervasive, and it was already in the middle of March, and the full moon gradually turned to the last quarter of the moon, and Chen Fang practiced knives in the courtyard. At this time, he felt something and returned the Tang knife to the scabbard.
"Master Horse hasn't practiced enough today?"
"You've been counting!"
"Master Ma will practice enough times Dingyu said on weekdays."
"We'll leave for Yangzhou tomorrow!"
"Okay, I'll get someone ready."
Yangzhou, the light of dawn shrouds this prosperous and rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, the hometown of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the most prosperous place is this place.
Wu Meiniang had just woken up in the morning, and the maid was waiting to freshen up. Wu Meiniang asked Xiaoyu to comb her sideburns in front of a bronze mirror.
"Xiaoyu, how many days have you been in Yangzhou?"
"It's been five days since I went back to my mother."
"Oh, the colt hasn't finished his business yet!"
"Niangniang, the master of the horse should come to Yangzhou soon!"
"There have been a lot of discomforts without him these days."
Xiaoyu didn't dare to answer, and wholeheartedly helped the queen comb her hair.
At this time, Wu Meiniang, in fact, the bun has long been lost in the palace, and since she left Chang'an, she no longer has to be the cumbersome bun treatment method in the palace.
At this time, she has a lot of hair buns at will, Xiaoyu combs well, Wu Meiniang is outside, at this time the courtyard is free to turn, Yangzhou in late March has long been a land of fireworks, catkins are flying, warblers fly and grass grow, this is the spring in the south of the Yangtze River.
Wu Meiniang was standing in the courtyard at this time, looking at a green tree in the courtyard.
"Xiaoyu, do you know who planted this tree?"
"Niangniang, you are stumped Xiaoyu, how does Xiaoyu know who planted this tree."
"It was planted by this palace, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, it has been nearly twenty years, and this palace can still return here and live in this house."
"Ahh Mother, you said this is where you used to live? ”
"Yes, my father was widowed and married my mother, my mother gave birth to three daughters for my father, my father left early, and when Taizu died, my father went west with Taizu because of his deep pain. My two elder brothers were born to my father's original spouse and deceived our mother and daughter, and my two younger sisters and I left the martial arts family with our mother and lived in Yangzhou for a while. ”
"Ahh Niangniang still has this experience. ”
"Over the years, this tree has grown so big."
Wu Meiniang stroked the body of the tree, a little emotional.
Xiaoyu stood aside, and didn't dare to say much, Niangniang was willing to say, she listened, as for speaking, there were many mistakes, she had been on duty in the palace for a long time, and she was used to not talking much.
"Xiaoyu, you said that the horse let this house live in the palace, do you know that this is the old mansion where the palace lived?"
"I don't know about this Xiaoyu, but the master of the horse has always been attentive to his mother!"
"He should know, after living here for a few days, this palace has thought about a lot of past events. In the blink of an eye, nearly 20 years later, many things seemed so impossible to settle down at the time, but now they have long since subsided. ”
"Niangniang, do you mean a family?"
"Well, after all, it's a father, I hated my two brothers very much back then, but now that I think about it, there are some things that can still be let go."
"Niangniang, do you want Xiaoyu to bring a chair?"
"No need, just stand at Hongu Station."
At this time, a magpie flew in the courtyard, and it barked a few times high above the branch, and then flew away.
"The magpie is calling, and it seems that the colt should arrive in Yangzhou today."
At this time, Chen Fang was sitting at the bow of the boat, where Qin instructed people to make tea, and the originally clear sky outside gradually turned cloudy.
There is a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in spring, and sometimes it rains continuously for many days.
After a while, it rained, and it was not raining much, like smoke.
This is the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, Chen Fang asked people to put the table outside, the eaves of the big ship were slightly blocked like smoke and drizzle, Chen Fang looked at the steaming water vapor in the teacup.
At this time, Qin sat opposite, took the teacup, and took a sip.
"Master Horse, morning tea in Jiangnan, Horse Master taste!"
"Qin, is it the habit of Yangzhou Niangniang to live?"
"You should get used to it, Niangniang has lived in Yangzhou for a while."
"Oh, I haven't heard of this before."
Chen Fang took the teacup and took a sip.
"Master Horse, I didn't tell Master Horse before, the house that Qin gave to Master Horse was where Niangniang lived when she was in Yangzhou, and then Niangniang went to Chang'an, and the martial arts family didn't need this house, so it was sold, and it happened to be bought by my former husband."
Chen Fang gently put down the teacup and looked at Qin.
"I have a heart!"
"Qin does things for the horse master, naturally with his heart!"
"Oh!"
Chen Fang sighed softly, and no longer spoke, looking at the slightest smoke and rain, tasting this spring tea in the south of the Yangtze River, Chen Fang leaned on the back of the bamboo chair.
"Can you go to Yangzhou today?"
"Yes, but it won't be until dusk."
Chen Fang entered the cabin to rest, his life at this time was very leisurely. There is basically nothing to do during the day, which is the norm for the aristocracy of this era.
Chen Fang was lying on the couch, when he had nothing to do, Chen Fang liked the maid to rub his legs and feet, and the maid sent by Qin had been warming the bed for Chen Fang for the past few days.
Under normal circumstances, Chen Fang didn't let Xiaolan do something, after all, she was the palace maid who Wu Meiniang lent to him for the time being and served him.
After all, it's not his own maid, so it's naturally handy.
For example, at this time, the work of beating his legs and rubbing his feet is not suitable for him to do, although this girl has also warmed her feet, but that is also occasional.
At this time, Chen Fang stretched out his legs, watched the two maids kneading and pounding gently, and squinted his eyes slightly in enjoyment.
"Spring, I'll sleep for a while, and the ship will call me when it arrives!"
"Yes, Master Pony!"
Spring got off the bed, and the maid naturally got down, took off her shoes and socks for the horse, pulled up the quilt, and the two of them withdrew.
