The palace lights are orange and red, and the water is steamy.

The water in the hot spring pond is gently rippling, quiet and warm.

But Princess Changle's heart was by no means calm......

Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the style of the royal family has become more and more disordered under the influence of the grassland peoples. It is not surprising if something happens between Princess Changle and Fang Jun, but how can Princess Changle, who has a cold temperament and noble character, be like this?

What's more, although she has a good impression of Fang Jun, she has definitely not reached the point where she is willing to be as desperate as a moth to a fire. If she is really with Fang Jun, how to face Gao Yang, how to face her father, how to face her son, how to face her younger son, how to face her younger sisters, and how to face a group of brothers and sisters?

It's just that if before Fang Jun and Gao Yang got married, his father made the decision to marry Fang Jun, Princess Changle thought that she probably wouldn't refuse......

Although the black-faced guy is a little arrogant, he has the kind of sincerity that Sister Ankang said.

He calculates who will calculate in the clear, if you are against me, then I will clean you up, instead of smiling and stabbing in the back like others.

The most important thing is that Fang Jun is responsible!

At the beginning, Ashina's association led the crime, and after the defeat, Princess Gaoyang was kidnapped, and Fang Jun single-handedly chased to Jingshui Qiaotou regardless of life and death, and rescued Princess Gaoyang from the clutches of the devil. That incident became a beautiful story circulated among the royal nobles, what could a woman ask for if she could entrust her life to such a responsible and courageous man?

And his perception of Fang Jun, is that all?

Princess Changle couldn't help but think of the famous "Ai Lian Said" again.

"To love the lotus out of the mud and not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, not vines and branches, fragrant far and clear, pavilion net planting, can be seen from a distance and can not be blasphemed......"

What kind of feelings must be felt in your heart to be able to write such a popular and long-lasting article?

There is such a good person who admires himself, no matter how big the gap between the two is, no matter whether this life is already destined to be silently staring, it is a heartwarming thing.

Princess Ankang looked suspiciously at Princess Changle's ruddy lips slightly upturned, and after unable to suppress the burning gossip in her heart, she leaned over Princess Changle's shoulder, pressed her crystal jade ear, and asked softly, "You guys...... Isn't it together? ”

"Huh?"

Princess Changle was a little confused, what are you together?

"That's it...... Do you have? "Princess Ankang is a little shy, she is not a person who can let go, even if the two sisters whisper in private, there are some words that cannot be spoken. But no matter how introverted and quiet a woman is, she is also a woman, as long as she is a woman, she has a gossip heart......

Princess Changle's pretty face was blood-red, her eyes were round, and she said coquettishly: "Where is it?" Sister, don't talk nonsense! ”

She was a little annoyed, it was Gao Yang's colt, how could she be her sister's colt as her sister...... Together?

Princess Ankang didn't believe it, and this time she changed her approach and asked, "So, did he touch you?" Don't lie to your sister, you haven't lied since you were a child, and when you lie, you blush, I can see that,"

"I ......"

Princess Changle didn't know what to say.

Did Fang Jun touch her?

The answer is, of course, yes, now every time she thinks of Fang Jun's light demeanor that day, her little buttocks are still numb and hot.

Answer "Yes"?

But this kind of "touch", the kind of "touch" that my sister asked is not the same meaning at all, how do you answer?

Answer "No"?

I've already touched it......

Princess Changle was red-faced, and she was a scoundrel and coquettish: "I didn't have ......"

Looking at her sister's irrepressible appearance, Princess Ankang felt pity in her heart, hugged Princess Changle's slender and silky waist, and said: "Yes, yes, my sister said no, that's no...... It's just that my sister told you, how many good times are there in our women's lives? From the marriage of the Ji Xuan generation to yesterday's yellow flower, it was just a moment. No one cherishes such a beautiful time for you, only yourself. When you encounter something you like, when you meet someone you like, don't care about any worldliness, but be brave enough to pursue it. Even if it can't last forever in the end, there was such a period in the memory, isn't it also a good memory when you grow old in the future? Do you have to force yourself to suppress the liking in your heart, and when Shaohua is old, he will sigh and sigh, leaving behind endless regrets? ”

Princess Changle was dumbfounded, and said, "Sister...... How do you say that? ”

In her impression, Princess Ankang has always been the most peaceful, introverted, and most subservient woman to secular ethics, and she is the kind of real good wife and mother. Why is it that the changes after marriage are so great that they can say such upside-down words?

She didn't know that Princess Ankang's heart was also beating wildly, and she was shocked to say such words. But for the sake of her sister, she could only say such "shameless" words to encourage her sister to try her best.

Of course, when it comes down to doing it, she is the kind of person who says one thing and does another, and it is okay for her to persuade others to do this, and let her do it herself, which is rather than death......

"It's a bit shameless for my sister to say this, but compared to my life, what does it matter? Fang Jun is a good person, it's rare for him to love you so much, even if you have something to do with him? Sister, you have also been married, and you are not a perfect body, even if you marry someone else after an overnight affair, who knows? In short, the most important thing is to be happy! ”

Princess Changle was ashamed.

She almost thought that this Aunt Fang Ling in front of her was wearing the mask of Sister Ankang......

What does it mean to be after an overnight affair, no one knows?

It's too nasty, isn't it!

Princess Changle was so ashamed that she sneered: "Sister said this, do you want red apricots to come out of the wall?" ”

Princess Ankang was almost frightened to death, and quickly reached out to cover Princess Changle's mouth: "I'm a little ancestor, can I talk nonsense?" Your brother-in-law can kill me if he hears it! ”

Princess Changle grabbed her hand and said angrily: "You are afraid that you will be caught and killed by Dugu Pony, but why do you want to encourage me to do this?" ”

"Sister, don't you see that you are alone, and I am afraid that you will be lonely."

"Okay, you look down on me?"

"Well, it's just a fact."

"I don't care, you have to apologize anyway."

"I'm for your good, why apologize?"

"Apologize or not?"

"Not ...... Oh, where are you pinching the stinky girl? ”

"Hee-hee, it seems to be a lot more than before, it feels so good...... Yikes! Don't touch me......"

"Uh-huh, yours haven't made much progress......

"Let go of your hands......"

"If you loosen it first, I'll loosen ......"

The water vapor in the soup spring pool is churning, the waves are rippling, and the two sisters are happily playing with each other, full of spring.

*****

The New Year is approaching, businessmen from all over Chang'an City gather, and the flow of people in the east and west cities shuttles and rubs shoulders, and it is prosperous. This is the best time of the year, and the transaction volume of shops can often reach more than 30% of the year.

Chang'an City has set up two cities on the east and west sides of the city, the East City and the West City are the same as the commercial districts of Chang'an City, the two are the same as the functional positioning, the merchants gather, the shops are numerous, the goods are dazzling, the trade is extremely prosperous, but the specific is like a world of difference.

"The east is expensive and the west is cheap" is the most significant feature.

Due to the proximity of Taiji Palace and Xingqing Palace, the East Market is surrounded by many royal nobles and dignitaries in the first residence, so the treasures in the city are all accumulated, and the commodities operated in the market are more high-quality luxury goods, so as to meet the needs of the royal family and nobles and dignitaries. The West Market is far away from these prosperous mansions, surrounded by many ordinary people's houses, and the goods sold in the market are mostly clothes, candles, cakes, medicines and other daily necessities. However, in the end, there are still many poor people, so the commercial industry in the west market is more prosperous than that in the east city, and it is the main industrial and commercial area and economic activity center of Chang'an City, so it is also called the "gold market".

"Wuling Youth Jin Shidong" and "Laughing into the Orchid Wine Shop" show the wealth and elegance of the splendid Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, in the elegant room on the second floor of a Xishi wine store, Wei Yuantong stood by the window, looking at the customers on the other side of the street entering and exiting a shop in an endless stream, his face was gloomy, and his mind did not belong.

It was a newly opened grain shop, which was attached to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and it was regarded as an official businessman. In the past, such official shops were probably used by officials to make money in the name of balancing food prices, but this one is definitely different.

The price below 50% of the market is enough to make the people in the city rush to monopolize the grain business in Chang'an. And its inventory of millions of stones and there is still a steady supply of goods, which makes the grain merchants in Chang'an City even worse......

"Father, but are you worried about the family business?"

Jingzhao Mansion Shaoyin Wei Dawu stood behind Wei Yuantong and asked softly.

"Business?" Wei Yuantong muttered.

He was worried about business, but he was more worried about something else.

"Then Fang Jun counted the storefronts in the east and west cities, what is the picture?" Wei Yuantong asked.

"This ......," Wei Dawu said embarrassedly, "The child doesn't know either." ”

As the second-in-command of Jingzhao Mansion, he doesn't know anything about the purpose of the statistical activities that Jingzhao Mansion is vigorously carrying out, which is really a bit unusual.

But what can he do?

Hou Mo Chen Wok was expelled, Dugu Cheng was almost killed to make an example, except for being a grandson and wanting to be invisible, he didn't dare to appear in front of Fang Jun at all! This official deserves it, it's really embarrassing......

Wei Yuantong didn't blame his son for his incompetence, but just frowned and thought bitterly: "This mallet...... Is it really necessary to raise taxes? ”

He has been confused by Fang Jun's actions recently, and he can't figure it out.

The shops in the east and west cities of Chang'an City have always paid taxes according to their façade, and the taxes that sell more and sell less are basically the same. With such detailed statistics, he really couldn't think of any other reason than wanting to use his brains to raise taxes on the amount of trade.

But he has to find out in detail which proprietor of each store is, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as raising taxes, right?

Wei Yuantong rubbed his eyebrows, it was really a headache to meet such an opponent who could toss, did not play cards according to the routine, and had unrestrained thinking......
