Zhang Xiang and Qin Elegy stayed on the side of the Laolong River until about evening.

In this afternoon, with Qin Elegy to talk to him, his heart (qíng) was almost recovered.

It's just that hug that made both of them feel an inexplicable throbbing in their hearts.

Or rather, a kind of dependence!

Afterwards, the two just looked at each other and smiled, and didn't mind too much.

But what Zhang Xiang didn't know was that his hug had planted too much reluctance in Qin Elegy's heart.

It's just that at the moment before, Qin Elegy would not show it to him.

A woman like her, who is strong in her heart and independent in her character, is just hidden in the depths of her thoughts.

In the evening, Zhang Xiang went to the workshop to take a look.

The operation of the workshop is still stable, some of the previous (rì) children went to the caravan of Dongyan trade has returned, according to Zhang Xiang's meaning, although it is now impossible to establish the most direct trade cooperation in Dongyan, but also basically monopolized the animal skin merchants in the south of Dongyan, through this trade in Dongyan, Zhang Xiang's Fuji cloth shop gave about 20% more than other merchants, and the reputation was slowly spread over there, so the merchants who went south there naturally chose to sell things to them first.

Although this is still the same as before, it will cost an extra 10% difference through the middlemen of Dachongfu, but this difference is nothing to Zhang Xiang.

As long as we can maintain this trade relationship for the first time, we can find a way to do it later.

After all, business is meant to come slowly.

Then he left the Laolong River with Qin Elegy.

"Elegy, this Liu Qingyin asked me to go to her tonight, do you think I should go or not?"

Zhang Xiang didn't care about this matter originally, if he had enough time, it didn't hurt to go, if he didn't want to go, then he didn't go, just reply to a letter.

Since Qin Elegy was here, he told her casually.

Qin Elegy looked at him and said, "You saved her life, the beauty invited, express gratitude, this is normal, go or not, then it depends on whether Ming Heng wants to go or not." ”

"Heh..."

Zhang Xiang ignored her answer: "I just haven't figured out the reason for the fire on the ship that night, all the assassins committed suicide, not a single one is alive, it's a bit unbelievable, and those assassins who assassinated her don't know who they are, who is behind the scenes?" ”

"Elegy, this woman gives me the feeling that the heart is heavy (tǐng), and I don't really want to deal with her." Zhang Xiang said lightly.

Qin Elegy covered his mouth and smiled: "I can't imagine that there is something that makes Ming Heng have a headache (qíng), Elegy thinks that Ming Heng is extremely smart and will not take a person like her in his eyes." ”

Zhang Xiang said: "Don't underestimate anyone who tries to get close to you, because if it's not your friend, it may be your enemy." ”

"Oh? Does Ming Heng think that Liu Qingyin is deliberately approaching you? Qin Elegy asked.

"I don't know." Zhang Xiang shook his head: "In the past, I met Yang Li at the beginning, and I felt that he was compatible with me (xìng), so I felt sorry for him, and never defended him, but it wasn't until the Four Seasons Garden, what he said to me, I felt that he was testing something, which made me a little wary of him, and it was also because of Yang Li that I met Liu Qingyin, and the first time I met her on the Qinhuai River, this had to make me suspicious." ”

Qin Elegy thought for a while and said, "Liu Qingyin is the princess of Former Chu, and there are not many enemies in the Former Chu court, maybe someone knows about Liu Qingyin's (shēn), so they want to assassinate her!" ”

"If that's the case, why don't you report it directly to the court?" Zhang Xiang said: "Such an important (qíng) report, if it is reported to the imperial court, it may be possible to reward meritorious deeds, for the imperial court, the remnants of the former Chu are the biggest internal troubles, and this credit is not small." ”

"And what if it's a personal vendetta?" Qin Elegy made another analogy.

"That's another story." Zhang Xiang shrugged: "In short, I now think that Yang Li and Liu Qingyin are not simple, and it is better to be cautious when getting along with these two people." ”

Qin Elegy guessed: "Ming Heng is just a concubine, Liu Qingyin is the former Chu princess, what can she get from you (shēn)?" Yang Li is one of the four famous people in the south of the Yangtze River, wealth and fame are also possessed, after so many years, he has married the knot of the world's (xìng) character is also known to the world, what can he get from you (shēn)? ”

"What you can't think of is the deadliest." Zhang Xiang shook his head and smiled.

After saying this, the carriage drove into the mouth of Yanliu Alley.

Qin Elegy got out of the car here, and did not forget to tell Zhang Xiang: "Ming Heng, you be careful." ”

Zhang Xiang nodded slightly: "Don't worry, isn't your senior brother secretly protecting me?" The people of Donghuzhuang are no longer in Pingzhou City, who else will be your senior brother's opponent? ”

After separating from Qin Elegy, Zhang Xiang's carriage drove forward for a while before arriving in front of the Yanyu Pavilion.

He asked the coachman to find a place to stop the carriage, and then got out of the carriage and walked into the Smoke and Rain Pavilion.

At this time, night has fallen, and Yanliu Lane, where Pingzhou Qinglou has gathered, has long been crowded with people, and the (rè) noise is extraordinary.

Soon after Zhang Xiang entered, a carriage slowly drove and stopped not far from the Yanyu Pavilion.

In the distance, the little slave in the carriage saw the carriage of the horse parked there.

She poked her little head back and said to Zhao Hanyan in the car: "Princess, the carriage of the concubine is parked over there." ”

Zhao Hanyan's face was calm, and he nodded lightly: "Then it seems that the concubine has already gone in to see Miss Liu." ”

The little girl didn't know if the princess was angry, and muttered softly: "The concubine is really, and when I came to see Miss Liu, I didn't tell the princess, if the princess hadn't let her subordinates fish out the paper ball in the lake, I wouldn't have known that the concubine would come to the Yanyu Pavilion tonight." ”

At this time, Zhao Hanyan also had mixed feelings in his heart.

Although she had already made an agreement with Zhang Xiang, (yǔn) allowed Zhang Xiang to visit the Qinglou.

But as the feeling of Zhang Xiang (qíng) in my heart warmed up, I learned that he came to this kind of place, and my heart (tǐng) was not a taste.

In the past, it was the Oiran Qin Elegy of Ning Xiangju, and now it is the top brand of Yanyu Pavilion, Liu Qingyin.

Qinglou women like them the most with outstanding literary men, and with Zhang Xiang's literary talent, she is not surprised that she can attract these Qinglou women.

She was just melancholy, if she continued like this, she didn't know how many Qinglou women she would provoke.

Although she had the absolute right and strength to suppress these Qinglou women for her princess's share (shēn), she couldn't bear it when she thought that it was entirely for her own reasons, and that the concubine would be like this.

After all, (shēn) is a husband and wife, and not being able to give her husband what he needs is a wife's dereliction of duty.

Alas!

Every time he thinks of this, Zhao Hanyan can only entangle himself in his heart.

It seems that he is too harsh on the colt, and he has to correct it slowly.

"Little slave."

Zhao Hanyan called the little slave who got out of the car.

"Princess, what do you command?" The little slave hurriedly turned around.

Zhao Hanyan said: "You go and call the coachman of the horse and let him go home first!" It's so cold, he's waiting for the pony there, don't freeze, we're waiting for the pony here! And the horses came out with us. ”

"Yes, princess, the slave will pass." The little slave nodded again and again, and turned (shēn) and walked over.

At this time, Zhang Xiang, who entered the Yanyu Pavilion, also saw Liu Qingyin in a room full of green smoke and fragrance.

One (shēn) dressed in white, she is like a hibiscus out of the water, beautiful and moving.

Qin Elegy is famous for singing and dancing, while Liu Qingyin is famous for poetry, singing and painting, her poetry talent is also very good, and her singing voice is as crisp and moving as a lark, but her painting skills are outstanding, a paintbrush is like a swimming dragon in her hand, which amazes everyone, which covers up her other talents.

It is said that as long as Liu Qingyin appears, a single essay painting can often be auctioned for hundreds of taels of silver on the spot, and there were many rich children who did not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars to ask to see her in order to let her paint a picture.

Yang Li once joked to Zhang Xiang that if Liu Qingyin stopped being a woman in the Qinglou, then with her painting skills, it would be enough to keep her life worry-free.

Zhang Xiang didn't believe this before, but today (rì) saw Liu Qingyin, and he believed it.

In Liu Qingyin's room, the paintings are basically hung.

Except for a few portraits of women, there are the most landscape paintings, and they are all different, each with its own merits, even Zhang Xiang, who knows nothing about painting, thinks it is very wonderful.

Among them, a painting of a bustling market is the most vivid, and there are at least hundreds of villains in the market, but each one can basically be seen at a glance.

The tavern Xiaoer, the vendor who sells vegetables and shouts, the commoner who buys vegetables, the fast catcher walking on the street, and a sedan chair surrounded by everyone, should be a big man (shēn) for his share......

After Zhang Xiang came in, he also studied this painting for the longest time.

Liu Qingyin stood behind him (shēn) and smiled slightly: "Can't the horse see where the painting is?" ”

Zhang Xiang shook his head: "I really can't see it." ”

"It's Bianjing." Liu Qingyin lowered her head and smiled.

"Uhh

Liu Qingyin continued: "This is the second year of Yongping Bianjing, I was only five years old that year, my parents took me once, at that time, His Majesty the Yongping Emperor had just succeeded to the throne for two years, Bianjing City was also beautiful and picturesque, I wrote down the scene I saw, this painting was painted by the slave family two years ago, it may be a little different from the memory, but it should not be big." I didn't think that fifteen years have passed, and I don't know what kind of scene Bianjing City is today? ”

Then Liu Qingyin asked strangely: "The horse looks about the same age as the slave family, the horse grew up in the capital since he was a child, and he lived in Pingzhou after he came to Pingzhou with Princess Gaoping in May this year, don't you recognize that this is the Bianjing City in the second year of Yongping?" ”

In the second year of Yongping, that is, two years after the current Chu Cheng Emperor Zhao Yan succeeded to the throne.

After Zhao Yuan, the ancestor of Southern Chu, established Southern Chu, the year name was Chenghua year.

Zhao Yuan died in the third year of Chenghua, and Zhao Yan changed his name to Yongping the following year after succeeding to the throne.

According to calculations, Zhang Mingheng was only six years old that year.

Seeing Liu Qingyin's strange appearance, Zhang Xiang said with a smile: "Miss Liu also knows that Ming Heng has rarely gone out since he was a child because of his frailty, and Bianjing is so big, I really can't see where it is in this market painted by Miss Liu." ”

"Besides...", Zhang Xiang pointed to his head: "When I was a child, my brain was not very good, even if I saw it, after so many years, I can't remember it." ”

Liu Qingyin said: "The slave family thinks that it is just a rumor spread in the market, and with such wisdom and talent of the concubine, it is really hard for the slave family to believe. ”

Zhang Xiang didn't care at all: "Miss Liu, that's not a rumor, it's true." ”

Liu Qingyin said with great interest: "The rumor that the horse and the princess became married, and fainted due to thunder and lightning, and it is true that he will be fine after waking up?" ”

Zhang Xiang nodded: "Don't hide it from Miss Liu, I can't remember the past clearly after I woke up that time." ”

Liu Qingyin smiled in disbelief: "Then it seems that what happened to the donny is really (tǐng) wonderful, if it weren't for what the don said himself, the slave family really wouldn't believe those rumors." ”

Zhang Xiang said: "As the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes and blessings lurk, even I can't believe it!" ”

"If the horse can have this opportunity, it is also a blessing in disguise, and the slave family will give the horse a cup." As he spoke, Liu Qingyin picked up a glass of wine on the table and handed it to him, and picked up a glass himself.

After the two drank a glass of wine, Liu Qingyin said: "What happened to the concubine, the slave family has also heard about it, and I am also very sad in my heart, General Zhang has blessed me in Nanchu for 20 years, but I didn't expect ......"

Liu Qingyin didn't continue, glanced at Zhang Xiang's calm face, and said: "I'm sorry, the concubine, it's the slave family who said a lot, the concubine and the slave family have no relationship, if it wasn't for the rescue of the concubine that night, I'm afraid the corpse would have sunk in the Qinhuai River. ”
