Chapter Ninety-Seven: Digging Pits and Filling the Soil

I saw Liu Yu get up slowly, tidy up his robe a little, and then gently put a small gold cake on the case, "Just do your own thing, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, in short, I won't hurt you, let alone treat you badly!" ”

"Also, remember those two shops in the West Market?" Liu Yu asked again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Remember, the shop that sells glutinous rice is in the east forty-eight, and the shop that sells red dates and lotus leaves is in the west twenty-one!" Feng San hurriedly put away the golden cake and nodded again and again.

"Well, in the future, the raw materials for making crystal dragon and phoenix cakes will have to be purchased from these two shops, and you must go in person!"

"It must be, please rest assured!"

......

For several days in a row, Li Zhen almost never went out of the gate, but only enjoyed the flowers, fish, and tea in the rockery pavilion in the backyard, but in the end Yan Heng was in a hurry.

"Da Lang, what is he going to do here? After spending so much money and putting so much effort, why is there no movement now, is it possible that he is afraid? Taking advantage of Li Zhen's absence, Yan Heng complained to Zhao Wan angrily.

"Yan Shaolangjun don't be in a hurry, you two have known each other for so many years, how have you ever seen Li Zhen retreat? I don't think he looks so laid-back every day, but he must have something in his heart, maybe he just needs to be quiet now! Zhao Wan poured Yan Heng a glass of water and pushed it in front of him with a smile.

Yan Heng thought about it for a while after hearing this, if it was true that Li Zhen was afraid of things, but once it happened, he didn't know where he got the courage from, and he didn't seem to know what it meant to be afraid.

"What about Liu Yu? In the past few days, he has been out early and returned late, and he doesn't know what he is busy with! In the past few days in the capital, I can't find a person to eat and drink, and finally a Liu Yi came, and I couldn't see anyone all day long! Yan Heng raised his glass and drank it all, and then asked with a wipe of his mouth.

"Naturally, Li Zhen arranged an errand!"

"What? Da Lang is also a little biased, so he won't arrange an errand for me! No, I'm going to have to reason with him today!" Yan Heng got up when he said this, and wanted to go out, but he didn't expect Li Zhen to enter from outside at this time.

"What's going on today? Such a big temper! Li Zhen smiled.

"Da Lang, let me ask you why you didn't give me an errand for Liu Yu?" Yan Heng asked angrily.

Li Zhen smiled when he heard this, and said: "There are some things you can't do, he can do them, and there are some things he can't do, you can do them!" That's it! ”

"Hmph, then you will arrange for me to do it, I am about to have a bird idle these days!" Yan Heng was not angry.

Seeing this, Li Zhen motioned for Yan Heng to sit down and speak, and Zhao Wan was about to leave when she saw this, but was stopped by Li Zhen: "Where are you going?" ”

"The two of you are discussing important matters, and it is inconvenient for the slave family to be around!" Zhao Wan replied softly.

"What are you talking about, you are not an outsider, you are honestly sitting here and resting!" Li Zhen pretended to be unashamed.

"That is, if you talk about closeness, you and Da Lang are much closer than me to him!" Yan Heng smiled, and then glanced at Li Zhen meaningfully, while Zhao Wan's cheeks were already crimson with shame.

"Don't talk about anything else, there is indeed an errand for you to do now, and you have to do it!" Li Zhen hurriedly changed the topic.

"Oh? What errand? ”

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "Who do you think is the fastest to find out the news in this capital?" ”

"It depends on what news you need!"

"Naturally, it's not news from the court, just like those parents are short and the like!"

Yan Heng grinned when he heard this, and replied without hesitation: "Naturally, it's those idlers, these people are everywhere, and they are idle all day long, so they are naturally curious about everything!" ”

Yan Heng undoubtedly has the most say in this regard, and when he was in Jiangling Mansion, he was the "chief leader" of the gangsters in Jiangling Mansion, so he naturally knew everything about what these people did.

When Li Zhen heard this, he said: "If you are asked to make friends with some idlers, you may be able to do it?" ”

Yan Heng immediately patted his chest and said: "It's not me bragging, as long as you are willing to spend money, it won't be difficult!" ”

Li Zhen suddenly showed a sly smile when he heard this, money? This is what we don't need now.

......

It wasn't until the moment before the door closed that Liu Yu walked back unhurriedly, but he saw that Li Zhen, Yan Heng and Zhao Wan had already set up wine and food in front of them, but they hadn't started yet, and there were also wine and food on a low table next to them, which were obviously prepared for Liu Yu.

"I'm waiting for you! Come here! Yan Heng waved his hand and smiled.

Seeing this, Liu Yu's heart couldn't help but warm, although the two in front of him were the children of an official family, they did not have that kind of domineering attitude, especially when they treated themselves as a poor scholar, they were even more respectful.

"Is the shop in the West Market going well?" During the banquet, Li Zhen asked.

"No problem, Shao Langjun is in the name of Zhao Wan, and the money is also generous, and he still uses the original shopkeeper, everything is the same as before, and even some guys don't know that they have changed owners!" Liu Yu replied.

"Well, that's good, let them do what they should do before and what they will do in the future, just work in the shop in a down-to-earth manner!" Li Zhen nodded and said.

"Isn't it just a nail in the princess's mansion? As for such a big effort? Yan Heng said disappreciatively.

After hearing this, Li Zhen smiled and said: "Since it is a nail, then you also need a hammer and a person who wields a hammer, so that this nail can be firmly nailed in the princess's mansion, and no one will notice it!" ”

"Well, what Shaolangjun said is good, I don't know what Shaolangjun plans to do next?" Liu Yu asked.

Li Zhen smiled indifferently when he heard this, and said: "Next, we have to wait, wait for our Yanqing princess to dig a pit for herself, and then we will fill in the soil by taking the opportunity, and this matter will be a matter of course!" ”

"Dig a pit?" Liu Yu looked puzzled, and asked again: "Is Shaolangjun so sure that the princess will definitely dig this pit?" ”

"Hahaha, it's not normal for people like Princess Yanqing not to dig pits!" Li Zhen laughed.

"Oh, you guys talk about what kind of pit is not pitted, I heard it in a daze, it is rare for Dalang to pay for wine today, and none of you three will want to leave this door if you don't get drunk! I'll do it first for respect! Yan Heng raised his wine glass and drank it all.

......

In the blink of an eye, Li Zhen and others have come to the capital for nearly half a month, and then two or three days will be the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, although the "Mid-Autumn Festival" of the Tang Dynasty is far less important than the "Shangyuan Festival" and "Cold Food Festival", but the Mid-Autumn Festival has also become a good time for scholars to show their talents.

Early this morning, Zhou Gui came to inform Li Zhen, saying that on the Mid-Autumn Festival, His Majesty was going to feast the ministers in the Calyx Tower of Xingqing Palace, and His Majesty specially explained that Li Zhen must be present.

"Is there anyone else besides the ministers?" Li Zhen asked.

Zhou Gui replied: "The kings and princesses of the Sixteen Mansions are naturally indispensable, especially Princess Yanqing, who has always liked poetry and writing, but she was out of the limelight at last year's Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet!" And I heard that a few days ago, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty came to ask for the canonization and marriage of the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty will definitely take the opportunity of the night banquet to let Fanbang see the prestige of my Tang talents! ”
