(002) Blue sea, blue sky, night and night heart
On the third day after Yun Xiangrong and Jiang Qingchen got married, the Yun family, young and old, except for Yun Weiye, who had to deal with the affairs of the Yun family's clothing workshop in the capital, Yun Weifeng entered the school and concentrated on the Jinshi examination, and the rest of the people returned to the Yun family in Jiangnan.
Because there is still more than a month to go before the New Year, the current Yun family is different from previous years, not to mention a young master and a princess, the saint also specially approved the young master Yun to return to Jiangnan for the New Year, and then return to Youyun Sixteen Prefectures after the New Year.
Young Master Yun also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the New Year to discuss with the three major families in Jiangnan about investing in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, so this year's banquet of the Yun family is destined to be a big event, and it is difficult to keep a low profile.
Jiang Xi'an and Zhaozhao, as well as the third prince, Wen Junyu, also went to Nancy together after Yun Xiangrong got married.
There are two purposes, one is that Jiang Xi'an will propose marriage. Second, Nancy and Xiliang opened trade.
Li Yanfei and Luo Yi got married on the sixth day after Yun Xiangrong got married, Li Yanfei also asked for half a month to get married, and several people made an appointment before to go to the hot spring villa of the Marquis of Changping to soak in the hot springs, which was Jiang Qingchen's promise to Yun Xiangrong many times.
Soaking in the hot springs is the coolest thing to do in winter.
The plan is a line of eight, four couples, Yun Xiangrong and Jiang Qingchen, Li Yanfei and Luo Yi, Ye Haiqing and Jiang Xinxin, Ye Haihua and Li Yueshan. As a result, the night before leaving, Haihua said that something happened temporarily and he couldn't go.
It is said that Li Yan flew away and took Li Yueshan with nothing, but Li Yueshan refused, on the grounds that she didn't want to be fed with a bunch of people's dog food.
Because the hot spring villa is not very far from the capital, a few people made an appointment to set off after breakfast and lunch, and the hot spring villa is in the afternoon, so that a few people can have dinner after soaking in the hot spring.
Because Ye Haiqing and Jiang Xinxin have not yet married, the six of them have two pools for men and women, men have topics that men are interested in, and women have things that women like to say, each of which is wonderful.
Soak in the hot springs, six people gather in the hall to gossip, the earth dragon in the hall is hot, eating frozen persimmons, frozen pears, as well as ice and snow and cold pulp, looking at the snow outside, very pleasant.
"Haiqing, has Haihua been busy lately?" Jiang Qingchen asked suspiciously.
Jiang Qingchen has been the Admiral of the Nine Gates for many years, and the experience he has gained is that more than a month before the Chinese New Year is the most leisurely time in the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion, because at this moment, many outsiders have gone home, and there are many fewer people in the capital.
Before the New Year's Festival, everyone is busy cleaning up the accounts and preparing the New Year's goods, and there will be no big events in the capital, so the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion will be much more leisurely.
"It's okay, Haihua recently got the news, you know that Blood Refining Island, right?" Ye Haiqing said.
"Jianghu killer organization, it likes to absorb important criminals in the imperial court, in recent years, the imperial court has promulgated a new law, buying murderers and murderers are equally responsible, the limelight of Blood Refining Island is not so big, never dare to commit crimes in the capital, it is said that the local encirclement and suppression, failed, if you want me to say, if this kind of underworld organization does not have business, it will not last long, and it will perish." Jiang Qingchen said.
"Haihua got the news that this underworld organization had been funded by Zhu Ziguo a few years ago, and Blood Refining Island was Zhu Ziguo's spies' minions in Xiliang. After the saint knew about it, he attached great importance to it and wanted to exterminate it in one fell swoop, and Haihua was collecting information and formulating a plan to exterminate it. Ye Haiqing said.
"How can this be, there was no news about this before." Jiang Qingchen said.
Jiang Qingchen has always regarded Ye Haihua as his own brother, and he planned before that he would catch the eight fish, and the capital would be stable for at least a few years, and he would have to worry about it, Haihua only needed to study step by step, and his official career would not be bad, how could there be other organizations, he really didn't know.
"Don't worry, how could the family let Haihua deal with such a big matter alone, my father has already gone to face the saint, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to lead troops to destroy the Blood Refining Island." Ye Haiqing said.
"The Holy One approved it?" Jiang Qingchen asked.
"The saint said that he would have to see again. Come out to play, don't talk about this, did you see it when you came? Someone pulls wood here, the big hot spring mouth next to it, has been commercial before, said that it is not well managed, ready to close down, was favored by Gu Chunchao, bought back, it is said that it will be renovated after the year, or do hot spring business. Ye Haiqing understood Jiang Qingchen's hard work, but she didn't want him to dwell on this matter, so she deliberately diverted the topic.
"Gu Chunchao is very economically minded, Xianyuan, you don't look at the flow of customers, but the profit is very high, I have seen his tax records before, he occupies the high-end catering industry in the capital with a leisure garden, about sixty percent of the market share, if he does the business on the hot springs, it will definitely not be bad. People who have the ability to make money will make money in whatever they do. Yun Xiangrong said with emotion.
"Recently, the saint seems to be very satisfied with the Zhongqin Marquis Mansion, and he has mentioned it many times in the court." Jiang Qingchen said.
Jiang Qingchen is still not very comfortable with the saint's change of name to his father, but when he faces the saint, he will pay attention to it.
Yun Xiangrong changed his name to his father from the beginning, especially in front of outsiders, he really didn't want to show his identity as a princess to others, but he lacked the confidence to be a princess, for fear of being picked on by others.
"That's because you don't know the reason yet, the Zhongqin Marquis Mansion donated 100,000 taels of silver for the development of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and the saint has not said it to the outside world, he is waiting for a suitable time." Li Yanfei said.
"Is it worth the money? Recently, the army has been adjusted, isn't the Zhongqin Marquis Mansion doing this just to keep the position of the prince Gu Chunjiang and the general army of Liangguang, but 100,000 taels of silver, the general army of Liangguang can't earn it for a lifetime, right? Luo Yi said with emotion.
"If you don't bend the law for bribes, it's definitely not good, Gu Shizi is not that kind of person, and the Zhongqin Marquis Mansion cares more about the importance that the saint attaches to the family. By the way, a few days ago, the saint praised Princess Rong in front of the queen's mother, saying that he took the lead in donating money, which was done beautifully, and said that the most correct thing to do this year was to promote Young Master Yun and canonize Princess Rong. Li Yanfei said.
Everyone actually didn't feel anything, only the saint himself knew that the people who were looking for and developing the sixteen states of Youyun at that time had been entangled for a long time, but fortunately, the people were not wrong, and things were developing according to their own ideas.
The saint has his own news channel, knowing that without Princess Rong, Jiang Qingchen's fishing plan will not be so smooth. This princess is very worthwhile, the cost is just that little bit of age, compared with the people raised by the imperial court, it is really a drop in the bucket.
"It's a pity that I didn't hear the praise, but then again, it's better to give something practical." Jiang Xinxin said jokingly.
"It seems to be practical, the day before I got married, didn't I live in the palace? The queen mother told me privately that my dowry list is the richest of all the princesses to marry, of course, it means that everyone can see the part, I thought it was polite, I didn't take it seriously, it turned out to be true. Yun Xiangrong said.
Of course it's true, the emperor also wants to save face, he has long heard that the rich businessmen in Jiangnan can fill a street with their daughters, he knows that the Yun family has this strength, but Yun Xiangrong is already a royal princess, and the Yun family wants to give face to the royal family, and he must not do this on the surface.
Recently, to develop the sixteen states of Youyun, the prince's marriage has been simplified, Princess Rong's marriage can not be extravagant, all he can give is some vanity, so that the queen will give Princess Rong a heavier dowry list, and become the princess with the most generous dowry.
If this thing is said, it is also the royal family who is kind and kind to the princess from the people.
But everyone knows that this is all on the surface, Princess Rong is destined to be a princess who has received the least actual dowry from the royal family, who made her not born in the royal family, how many things can be on the gift list? The mother's dowry is the heaviest.
However, Yun Xiangrong knew that the Holy One had the heart to treat him well, and he was already very content.
Objectively speaking, the Yun family gave Yun Xiangrong a lot more dowry than the queen gave the second princess, who made Yun Xiangrong from the Yun family, the richest man in Jiangnan?
"It's normal not to know, you haven't seen other princesses' dowry lists." Jiang Qingchen said.
"By the way, speaking of me, I think of one thing, before I got married, according to the rules, the queen mother held a makeup ceremony for me in the harem, and Xinxin and Qianqian were there that day, who told me? The daughter of Lord Lu, the general soldier of Jiangnan, Miss Lu Shiman, is not good-looking. Is this a bad look? When I introduced people that day, I felt that I was very rude when I introduced Miss Lu, Miss Lu was too good-looking, her skin was so good that there were no flaws at all, and although her facial features didn't look very special, she had a good temperament and was out of the water hibiscus. By the way, the figure is good, if you talk about appearance, she is at least the top three among the unmarried women in the capital, I also deliberately said a few words to her that day, Miss Lu's official language is very standard, and you can see that she is a girl with a lot of connotation. Yun Xiangrong said.
"Rongrong, I said it, but I want to state first, I haven't seen Miss Lu before, it was Haihua who told me, and then I saw it once, and I also felt that what Haihua said was wrong, and then Qianqian told me, I only knew what was going on, Qianqian, you say, Rongrong, I was negligent, and the negligence was that I didn't update the information in time, but it was by no means a false accusation of other girls." Jiang Xinxin said.
"I know what's going on here, Miss Lu went to Beijing with Lord Lu, in fact, she has been on a blind date many times, she is always disliked, fat and ugly, and she is in a very bad mood, so she made up her mind to lose weight. As soon as she lost weight, she was immediately reborn, and it is said that the people who came to propose marriage were all squeezed out, but it seemed that Lord Lu was about to be sent to Yangzhou, and he didn't want to find her husband in the capital. Roy said.
"I may leave Beijing later, and there are still some things for Lord Lu to do." Li Yanfei said.
"It is estimated that Miss Lu has made these men in the capital who only pay attention to their appearance sad, so she doesn't want to get married in the capital at all." Yun Xiangrong said.
"She didn't stay in the capital for long, but the girl in the capital had the right idea, and she learned everything." Ye Haiqing said.
"The girl in the capital, that is the one that looks simple, Meng Yunuo, the eldest girl of the Yienhou Mansion, before the queen wanted to add makeup to Xiangrong, and she was also invited to go, but later she said that the girl was sick and didn't come that day." Roy said.
"Yes, it may be that she is weak, and besides, we have met twice and said a few words, and we are not familiar with each other, but then she still sent the gift of makeup to the princess's mansion." Yun Xiangrong said.
"I heard, in fact, she was not in the capital that day, this girl did not grow up in the capital, the girls in the Beijing circle are not familiar with her, this matter is a long story, simply say that his father was born to the original partner of Yienhou, and then her grandmother died, Yienhou continued to string, and also gave birth to a son, and the continuation of the string squeezed out the son born by the original match, so he took the opportunity of the foreign appointment, and their family of three went to Hangzhou, her brother Meng Weixuan grew up in the capital, she grew up in Hangzhou, because Yienhou was dissatisfied with the son and grandson of the successor, Only in recent years have he been looking for a relationship and transferred his father back to the capital. It is said that this girl has a lot of experience, and when she was in Hangzhou, the family did not have much restraint on her, and she also went to Persia? Roy said.
