Chapter Twenty-Nine: Mo Yuan

Chang'an City in the first month is very lively, and there is a temple fair every day until the fifteenth day of the first month. Cai Ling lives in the No. 1 room of Tianzi in Dongxi Building, and Yuan'er lives next door. The aunt and nephew went out for a stroll all day long, only to make up for all the scenery they had not seen in the past.

At lunchtime, Fang Fang walked back from East Street, one large and one small each holding sugar gourds, noodle figures, paper puppets, etc., Yuan'er licked the sugar gourd while walking, and Cai Ling was responsible for telling him to walk and look at his feet. Yue Yuanxing hurriedly came out of the building and took all kinds of things in Cai Ling's hands, "Shopkeeper Xiao is here, I heard that it is for the opening of Moyuan Pavilion tomorrow." ”

"Got it." Cai Ling entrusted Yuan'er to the full moon before going to the inner courtyard.

The sound of the piano in the Accord is far-reaching, Xiao shopkeeper is standing by the table with a painting in his hand, and when he saw Cai Ling, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Young master, this is Mr. Yu's new work, and it took a lot of effort to ask for it, and now it is worth more than 100 gold on the market." ”

Cai Ling approached and took a closer look, the mountains are continuous, the lonely boat is far away, but a few light strokes of ink, but it has already depicted the fairyland. After a moment of silence, Cai Ling suddenly said, "Has he been short of money recently?" ”

Shopkeeper Xiao is a loyal admirer of the painting fairy Yu Moyan, and he reluctantly sold Fei Yixuan in order to raise enough money to buy paintings, and he was very reluctant to hear this, and hurriedly argued: "Mr. Yu is in a hidden world, indifferent to fame and fortune, and regards money as nothing, how can this be?" ”

Cai Ling smiled: "He also wants to eat, doesn't he?" Seeing the shopkeeper's dissatisfaction, he added, "You have calculated that it has only been half a year, and you have already obtained a few of his paintings?" Think about how many of his authentic paintings have you found in your hands over the past few years? I don't mean anything else, but I just want to remind you that everything in the world is rare and precious, and it is not a good thing for him to be so high at the market price at the moment, and the price of the future purchase can be lowered. ”

The shopkeeper is like an initiation, and he says yes again and again. Cai Ling took her eyes off the painting, "Has the change of name of Dusk Chi Xuan been reported to the government?" ”

"The formalities were completed yesterday." The shopkeeper replied, but his face was embarrassed.

"Are you afraid of affecting your business?" Cai Ling asked.

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "It is rumored that only the Dusk Chi Xuan in Chang'an City can get Mr. Yu's true handwriting, and this time it is renamed 'Mo Yuan Xuan', as if he has lost half his life, who would know that Mo Yuan Pavilion is the Twilight Xuan of the past." ”

"It's all something I didn't think about in the past." Cai Ling repented.

"Young master, don't say that. Avoiding the name of the prince is the etiquette of the country and cannot be violated. Shopkeeper Xiao persuaded.

Cai Ling thought to herself, this old man was not confused, so he comforted, "Make the atmosphere of the opening of Moyuan Pavilion as lively as possible, so that everyone in the capital knows about it." The same goes for the ink cake shop. How much money is needed to go to the account to withdraw. ”

The shopkeeper got the order and went out with joy.

On the eighteenth day of the first month, the twilight Xuan name change ceremony kicked off in the East City, and the attendees were basically the rich in the city, except for a few dignitaries. Yuan Jieyi has been very busy recently, and he heard that he was preparing for the opening of mines in Yongzhou, and such trivial matters seemed to him to be just a piece of cake, so he excused himself not to participate. Cai Ling regarded this incident as a grand event to return to the social circle of the capital, and wore a lotus lotus skirt embroidered with hundreds of butterflies, carefully applied powder, and a four-butterfly gold inlaid jade step in her hair swayed and shined. When He Yue saw it, he couldn't help but praise: "My sister is so good-looking." ”

Cai Ling held her head high, listened to the gongs and drums in front of the door, and watched the lion dance team jump up and down, until a pair of words popped out of the mouths of two of the lions: Mo Yuan's treasure land is prosperous, and the wealth is prosperous every year.

The crowd cheered continuously, and although Cai Ling felt that these two sentences were a bit vulgar, she still smiled and clapped her hands and said, "Okay!" ”

At this time, the shopkeeper Xiao personally climbed the ladder, took off the plaque at the door of the store, and replaced it with the gilded three big characters "Moyuan Pavilion". People are all looking at the new signboard, but Cai Ling is staring at the old one. The shopkeeper took a piece of red cloth to cover the three words "Dusk Chi Xuan", and was carried into the warehouse by two strong men for storage.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, without the slightest mistake, but Cai Ling burst into tears uncontrollably. In my memory, it was a summer day, and she stood on the crowded streets of Chang'an City and commanded He Yue to hang a signboard, "It's crooked, it's still a little crooked, a little to the left, a little to the right." ”

At that time, she had just taken Fei Jixuan into her pocket, and she couldn't help but say that she wanted to change its name to "Dusk", Tao Tao hurriedly stopped her and said, "Jiang Shao, will you be too straightforward like this." ”

She smiled unrestrainedly, "It's okay! Ben Shao likes to be alone, and he doesn't have to hide it. ”

The girl who was not afraid of the ground that day should finally smooth the edges and corners. Some people used to be close to each other and it was difficult to hold hands, but now that their identities are so different, how can they walk in one place. Her young youth is finally going to go with Twilight Xuan and the Mumu Cake Shop. With infinite reluctance in my heart, who can I talk to in detail?

He Yue handed over a plain white handkerchief, she took it in her hand and nodded gratefully, and in a blink of an eye, she saw two familiar figures not far away, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes.

At noon, the banquet in the Dongxi Building opened thirty tables to thank the nobles and rich people who came to support the scene, and now the whole city knows that Cai Ling is guilty of the crime of the family to protect himself is to have a friendship with the prince of the dynasty, and the gossip is gradually decreasing, and the number of people who are stammering is increasing.

Cai Ling greeted and entertained enthusiastically one by one, regardless of previous suspicions, and she didn't know how many glasses of wine she had in her stomach, her face was smiling, but her steps were slightly staggering. The full moon came to announce, and there were distinguished guests in the "Cai Ling Pavilion" of the Accord on the third floor. The third floor of the Accord" and "Cai Ling Pavilion" as the name suggests is her exclusive banquet place, and now it is no longer close to the people in the court, so it is gradually not used, I don't know who it is today? Seeing that she was suspicious, Yueyuan hurriedly attached to her ear and said, "It is the Yunnan jade noble." ”

"Yunnan jade nobleman" this is the Yunnan King Shen Youjian in the Dongxi Lou reputation, because he loves to appreciate jade to everyone, and said that Yunnan's jade is unparalleled in the world. He also injected capital into Moyuan Pavilion, only saying that it would be convenient for him to have a place to sell his beautiful jade in the future. Cai Ling received several thousand gold and two boxes of bracelets, crystals, amber, turquoise, etc., and readily agreed.

"Thirteenth Master, what kind of wind has blown you here?" As soon as the full moon pushed open the door of the Accord, Cai Ling smiled. When entering the pavilion, her footsteps were unsteady and stumbled on the threshold, but fortunately she was tightly held by Yueyuan, and she attached Yueyuan's fat hand, "Thank you, Yuan'er." ”

After standing still, she looked up, and the smile immediately froze on her face, in addition to the King of Dian and the crown prince, and even Wei Wei on the side of the prince, she was stunned for a moment, yes, she was not mistaken, the woman in green with a slight smile was Wei Wei.

After a while, he came back to his senses, his face turned pale, and his knees were slightly bent, "See Your Highness." "It's in the direction of the prince. The prince did not speak, only nodded. She sat beside Shen Youjian with a smile again, and when she saw that his wine cup was empty, she hurriedly filled it for him, "You don't know how good the business is today, just Hetian Yu's bracelet has sold a hundred." ”

It should have been a drink before eating, and gradually got up, her hands were unstable, and the wine spilled, she didn't care, and took the corner of the tablecloth to dry it for him, and then made a gesture of please. Shen Youjian looked at her with a smile in his eyes, the meaning was obvious, the prince had not drunk, how could he dare to trespass. Cai Lingxuan handed the wine jug to Wei Wei on the side of the prince, and said softly: "Trouble girl." The prince's expression remained unchanged, and the king of Dian was already laughing to himself.

"When will you return to the fiefdom?" She had to jot it down while she was awake.

"Three days later." Shen Youjian replied.

"I'll see you off." She said hurriedly.

"Hmm." Shen Youjian drank a glass of wine.

The prince didn't say anything, only looked at the two of them coldly.

After three rounds of drinking, Cai Ling looked at Wei Wei, who had been busy adding vegetables to the prince, and saw that she had not eaten a few bites after she was busy, so she asked, "What is the so-called matter of Miss Wei leaving the house today?" ”

Wei Wei was late, but the prince replied, "Wei'er has lived in the mansion for a long time, not as chic and wanton as you, this king specially took her out for a walk." ”

Cai Ling borrowed the strength of the wine and said with a smile: "Then don't be restrained, please eat more, and go to Chilong Silk Village later to choose some good materials, Jiangnan has a batch of new goods, I deducted some, if Your Highness wants to give it to the girl, I will immediately talk to the shopkeeper." ”

The prince pursed his lips and said nothing, Wei Wei raised his head and said, "No." After entering the palace after the first month, the hair accessories and costumes are all in charge of the Shang Palace Bureau. ”

Cai Ling seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on her head, only to feel the mysterious feeling of drunkenness, her head was clear all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and drink two glasses alone. After drinking, he saw Shen Youjian staring at her tightly, and said angrily, "What are you doing?" ”

"You took the king's glass." Shen Youjian smiled in his eyes. She was about to pass on someone to change the cup for the King of Dian, and she had already poured herself wine, "If you are happy today, this king will accompany you to get drunk and rest." "Drink that glass of wine in one gulp.

At this time, the shopkeeper came to tell him that the guests wanted to disperse, and I don't know if the young master could borrow a step to send it first. Cai Ling got up and went, and the prince suddenly said, "Watch your step." ”

She couldn't help but worry about her heart, and only blessed her body, "Go and go back." ”

Half an hour later, Cai Ling really came back with a spring breeze, followed by two juniors, both holding brocade boxes.

She asked Xiao Er to put the items aside, picked up a slender brocade box, and said with a smile: "The folk girl has been bothering in the palace for half a year, thanks to His Royal Highness's care, there is nothing to repay, this new work of Mr. Yu also invites His Royal Highness to laugh." ”

The prince pursed his lips and looked at her for a long time, only to see the smile on her face stiff, she didn't know what to do, the prince suddenly said: "This king has accepted it." ”

She took out a book of poems and said to Wei Wei: "This is a lone book, I know that the girl likes to read, so I sent someone to take it and give it to the girl, and thank the girl for taking care of her." ”

Wei Wei timidly glanced at the prince before taking it with both hands. Cai Ling seemed to have just entered the topic at this time, and took out the thousand-year-old ginseng of Changbai Mountain, "This thing is given to Lord Taichang, if it weren't for him, Yuan'er wouldn't know what to do now." ”

"Bao and Lin won't move, you can send it yourself." The prince said coldly.

Cai Ling Fang put the ginseng aside, knelt down and said: "There is still one person, Cai Ling has nothing to repay, the deep palace is forbidden, and I am afraid that I will never see it again, and I dare to ask for this today." ”

"Say!" The prince was impatient.

"The folk girl wants to ask His Highness for someone - Yu Manyun." The word Cai Ling is sonorous.

Speaking of which, she just begged for this person, and the sun was in full swing in the afternoon, but the coolness in her heart gradually rose, it turned out that she also knew that he would live in Weiyang for the next few years, and it was not as convenient as in the past to see each other, but what she was thinking about was just the maid at the beginning. Sure enough, the love is thin! He threw away the cup, pondered for a moment, and then spoke to hide his anger, "Little four." Don't overdo it. ”

She didn't want it, she had expected it, but there was still a faint pain in her heart.

"What about the King's gift?" The King of Dian asked.

"Three days later, we will send each other off." Cai Ling knew that he was grateful in order to play a round, but it was difficult to hide the confusion in his eyes.
