Although this method of blending perfume Wang Junlin cannot produce it on a large scale, it has no problem to configure a small porcelain bottle of perfume. And because of the scarcity, so the value of perfume is naturally extremely expensive and cherished, in Wang Junlin's view, it is definitely more expensive than gold, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an inch of gold and incense. However, Wang Junlin has no idea of making money with perfume for the time being.

Yang Lihua, who had seen the blood-maned horse, took a small porcelain bottle of perfume from Shen Guoer's hand, and according to Shen Guoer's introduction, after trying it on the spot, she fell into a surprise.

No woman can resist the temptation of perfume, not even a long-widowed woman.

……

The spacious living room danced, but there were knowledgeable people in the field, Pei Shiju nodded, and said first: "If these old men of Hu Ji in front of you are not mistaken, they should be from the surname Zhaowu Jiu, their original Hu Xuan dance is indeed much better than those turtle dances in the capital, the old man likes singing and dancing very much on weekdays, can Qin Anhou cut his love and give this team of dancers to the old man, and the old man is willing to exchange other things with Qin Anhou." ”

Wang Junlin was about to open his mouth to say that he would give it directly to Pei Shiju, but before he could speak, Wang Tong suddenly rushed in front of him and said: "Qin Anhou has just opened the mansion, and it is not easy to come to this team of dancers, Master Pei doesn't know what to exchange, if the value of the exchange is light, I can't wait for it." ”

Wang Tong's kind words attracted a kind laugh from everyone.

Wang Junlin smiled, did not say a word, looked at Pei Shiju and Wang Tong, and thought in his heart. The relationship between these two people, he had already learned from the intelligence booklet provided by the Nighthawk Envoy, at this time, singing and harmonizing, I am afraid it is not a simple matter of a dancing girl.

Pei Shiju pondered slightly, and then said: "I have a 500-acre manor outside the capital, all of which are good and good fields, and I am willing to exchange this manor with Qin Anhou for these twelve dancing girls, is Qin Anhou willing?" ”

Wang Junlin was shocked in his heart, and everyone next to him also looked surprised, although these twelve dancing girls are good, they are much different from the five hundred acres of land, not to mention that the land in the capital is even more valuable, and those in the know also know that these five hundred acres of manors are all good land.

In this era of gate valve family politics, the strength of the gate valve family first depends on how many people in the clan are officials, followed by how many fields and land they own, then how many Confucian talents are produced, how many clansmen they have, and finally how much money the family has, including shops and other commercial areas.

It can be seen the importance of land property to a family, Wang Junlin's current status is enough for him to open the door and establish a house, but he can't become a family of gate valves, the main reason is that he is lonely, has no family and clan, that is, he does not have a field property in his name that makes people feel very down-to-earth.

In this era, people generally formed such a concept, but because the war between the Northern and Southern Dynasties was too long, and the most valuable thing in that chaotic era was not gold, silver and jewelry, but grain.

In many cases, as long as there is enough food, a large number of people will be gathered in a short period of time for their own use, or even an army will be gathered to fight for you. After all, there were too many people who couldn't eat enough in the war years, and in addition to a very small number of these people, there were too many people who would abandon all superfluous ideas when they couldn't solve the problem of food and clothing or were about to starve to death, and the only goal and belief was to eat well.

Now if Wang Junlin has Pei Shiju's 500 acres of fertile land, although it cannot be compared with those big aristocratic families who have tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of fields, it can be regarded as making up for a big defect in the Hou Mansion of Qin An.

Of course, this is the thinking of people in this era, and Wang Junlin actually scoffs at it, in his opinion, in this era, the only thing that can really be regarded as relying on force is force, and the guarantee of force is the army that can be controlled, in addition to itself.

As long as there is an army, other people's food can become their own food at any time. As for the relatively peaceful past ten years, if you have a stable source of profitable business, it is actually no different from owning a huge farmland. The main reason why people in this era only recognize the harvest and do not recognize the source of business is that the trauma and impression left by war and famine on their generation are too deep. This is similar to the truth of "once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope", which has left a psychological hint in the depths of everyone's heart, believing that food is the most important, and if you want food, you must have fields.

Wang Junlin's mind was racing, and he instantly understood that Pei Shiju was changing ways to help himself, not to mention the relationship between him and Pei Yuanqing, as far as Pei Shiju himself was, in Wang Junlin's opinion, completely different from Yang Su and Qiu Rui, and even different from Changsun Sheng, Yang Lin, and Han Baohu, because Pei Shiju was an officialdom tumbler.

Pei Shiju is actually Pei Ju, the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty in the original history, but he changed his name to Pei Ju in order to avoid Li Shimin's name. This old man was in a high position in the Great Sui period, and he was healthy and old and did not die, and he was still like this in the Tang Dynasty, until he died of illness in his eighties, and his life was smooth sailing, on the surface he seemed to be a person of great luck, but under careful study, it will be found that there must be inevitable factors in it, and the specific manifestation is a variety of extraordinary abilities. The ability to govern the world, the ability to be an official, the ability to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, etc., without one of these abilities, it is impossible to be like him in the turbulent times of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Not to mention anything else, Pei Shiju, a scholarly family, went all out to cultivate an invincible general like Pei Yuanqing, and the wisdom and far-sighted vision contained in this matter itself are already extraordinary.

"Uncle Pei has a request, but the younger generation can refuse." Such a person, no matter whether he can be used by him later, if he is not forced to do so, Wang Junlin will never be an enemy of him, and even has the intention of befriending him. Therefore, since the other party has good intentions, no matter what thoughts and ideas he has, Wang Junlin is ready to fulfill the other party's wishes.

……

……

Not long after lunch, the guests left one by one, until he made an appointment with Sun Wuji and Pei Yuanqing to go out of the city to hunt together another day, and after sending the two away, Wang Junlin hurried to the backyard.

Princess Leping Yang Lihua hasn't left yet, this is not normal, or it shouldn't be like this, the two of them can cheat, but they must not be together in a bright and bright way, not even too much intimate contact, because it is not good for both of them.

With Yang Lihua's character, it shouldn't be so irrational, unless something special happens. And when Shen Guo'er came to tell Wang Junlin with a strange face that the eldest princess had taken a nap in his room, Wang Junlin became more and more speechless.

……

……

I don't know if it was Yang Lihua's arrangement, Mo Jiuhan didn't know where he was hidden, and no one stopped Wang Junlin when he walked into his bedroom. Although Wang Junlin has put his steps very lightly, Yang Lihua was still awakened, she has been sleeping badly since her husband's world was taken over by her father's rebellion, one of the manifestations is that she sleeps very lightly, and she will be awakened if she makes a little noise.

Yang Lihua opened her eyes, habitually took off the fur in her ears, sat up, stretched her waist, yawned, glared at Wang Junlin, and then if no one got up, she didn't call the maid outside, she sat in front of the bronze mirror to tidy up her appearance, Wang Junlin smiled bitterly, stepped forward to take the comb with a very good look, and helped him comb his black hair to be soft very seriously.

"You can't be too drastic, it's a double-edged sword, if you do it, others will do it, and it will put you in an unsafe situation."

As she spoke, Yang Lihua got up, turned to look at Wang Junlin, stretched out her hands to caress Wang Junlin's knife-like face, and continued gently: "How did you make Qiu Fu, He Ruojin, Yang Xiong and Yang Feng become crazy, this kind of method is scary when you hear it." ”

Wang Junlin stretched out his hand and grabbed the slender hand that was as soft as nephrite jade on his face, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's just a medicine, and it's not terrible to put it bluntly." ”

"I heard that Pei Shiju exchanged 500 acres of land for 12 orchids." Yang Lihua's interest changed quickly, and she asked with interest when she looked at him.

Wang Junlin nodded and said: "I know that the purpose of the Pei clan is nothing more than to let me fight with Yang Su and those people for a longer time, and their Hedong and Shandong clans want to find an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to rise, and their purpose is not in conflict with my purpose, so with this kind of good thing coming to the door, I naturally can't refuse." ”

Yang Lihua smiled charmingly and said, "It's good that you know." I have actually prepared the field for you, and I am thinking about what reason to give it to you, and I don't want Pei Shiju to make the first move. Looks like you're in for a treat. ”

"Don't you think it's because I'm so strong?" He looked at Yang Lihua and said meaningfully.

Yang Lihua didn't know what to think of, or what kind of scruples she had, shook her head, frowned slightly and said: "Although Tianshan is a necessary condition for the formation of a family's gate valve, it should not be too much, otherwise you will lose your own advantages." ”

Wang Junlin nodded solemnly and said seriously: "Don't worry, I understand that there is a lot to do with this, except for these five hundred acres of grange, I will not have any more fields." ”

"A few days ago, you spent the night in the Spring Girl Building? Who is that woman? Could it be the Moon Palace Fairy? ”

Yang Lihua suddenly gritted her teeth and asked, the topic changed without warning.

Wang Junlin was slightly stunned, thinking to himself that this is the reason why you lost your mind today, regardless of the gossip of the world and the dissatisfaction of the emperor and empress, you have to stay in my house at this time, and still sleep in my bed......

"Do you have to be accompanied by a woman for the night?" He did not admit it, nor did he deny it, but asked rhetorically.
