Chapter 17 The Golden Gate of the Jade Building
"Back then, the delicate begonias, the bright moon was like a gentleman. The sycamore is gradually dyed, the autumn has been white, and the Mo is double. Who knows where lovesickness falls. Willow heads, characters in the world. Since then, the years have passed, and the soul has returned to his hometown. ”
The capital is full of jade buildings and golden gates, and the collusion and rebellion of officialdom can always be revealed in the mouths of drunken officials on a night at some unknown time, and those mediocre people who live by the waist branches and willows are far more upper-class than the poor officials who are honest and upright, and some of them know the power and strategy closest to the world on the top of the mountain.
"Congratulations, I don't know who this flower branch workshop has offended, it was copied by Dali Temple overnight, and now Sister Feng Kite is the owner of the entire Beijing Fireworks Restaurant."
In the past, those uncommon, in the business field to meet the face of the owners gathered in this Beijing embroidery pavilion today, a sound of the wind kite, they sent the most outstanding girls in the market, but know some of the truths of life, but also accustomed to this red dust do not know when will fall, when will stand up the fate.
"Everyone, it's funny, in the future, all of our business will naturally be done together, how can Feng Kite stand in this huge capital without you?"
Aunt Feng Kite has never been a warm communicator, she is also used to seeing the life of indifference, relatives leaving, friends leaving, she is so communicative just so that Mu Ruoying can act better in this restaurant in the future, since her sister has left, then Mu Ruoying is naturally her only relative, she also pities Mu Ruoying's life experience, but she knows how strong she is.
"Isn't this the son of the servant's family? Sister Feng Kite's restaurant is newly opened today, are you also here to take care of the business? ”
There was a sharp-eyed person in the customer group who recognized at a glance that the swinger brother who was standing in the middle waiting for the girls to arrive was a frequent visitor to the Huazhifang, the son of the servant of the ministry, Yang Haosheng. He should be waiting for Liuyu, the Oiran of Huazhifang, and now he has also been recruited by the wind kite in the Jingxiu Pavilion, even if he is an old customer, how can he not come.
"It's Mr. Sheng, take a seat, and when Liuyu is on this table, I will arrange for her to come to see you."
Feng Kite listened to the words of the guests present, and recognized Yang Haosheng in the crowd, as early as a few days before the new opening of the restaurant, Mu Ruoying came at night, and Feng Kite picked some girls from Huazhifang, and the women of Hongchen who were living in the red dust. These girls who have been in the rivers and lakes for many years naturally know that the trees are falling and scattered, who is the master now, Mu Ruoying promised them favorable conditions, and when they succeed in the future, they can go to Yang and Hangzhou for two weeks to do some business with those silver taels each, and they don't have to spend their lives in this land of fireworks, not always.
When all the guests were seated, the girls who Mu Ruoying was holding were also waiting for the table, compared to the original Huazhifang, it can be said to be more prosperous, Aunt Feng Kite actually has an exclusive wine-making recipe, and those who drink the wine are easy to unload their minds and be confused, and they can't help but say about the delicate women in their arms.
"Liuyu has seen Shenggongzi."
Since ancient times, this son-in-law, especially the son-in-law who has spent some books, loves the most cold and cold flower in this merry courtyard, Liuyu is like this, and the Yang family has known the son for five or six years, but he is still very unfamiliar, the second year Yang Haosheng even mentioned to redeem Liuyu's body, but was rejected by Liuyu. Liuyu is a rare clarity and exquisiteness in this red dust, she knew that if she agreed, she would not be Yang Haosheng's top person today.
"The rain is about to start, my father has already bought some grapes and fruits from the merchants in the Western Regions, they are all new things, I want to bring them to my beauty to taste, and it is good to make her smile."
It is true that the countries of the Western Regions do business, but now it is not the season of grape reproduction, and no merchant will be stupid enough to sell a very small inventory to a rich place like the capital, so it seems that this official has a great relationship with the Western Regions, as for which king, the stupid son of the Yang family who does not ask about the government is probably not clear, but with these, it is enough for Mu Ruoying to speculate.
As for the east second chamber, the iron cavalry general who heard the rumors of the Jingxiu Pavilion was originally a lively Yaxing, he was a rough man who went into battle to kill the enemy, and he couldn't listen to any obscene words and music, so he didn't think it was interesting. However, the girl in this square pavilion is still worthy of his reminiscence, he has been through the battlefield, the Huyi girl is used to it, and occasionally the elegant interest of this Central Plains woman is not very happy. He asked two pleasing girls to accompany him, and Aunt Feng Kite's wine couldn't trap him, but the girl's soft and boneless waist made him a little fascinated, and the pride in killing the enemy on the battlefield made those girls not admire.
"What great things did the general do?"
"Lao Tzu alone killed the dog head of the puppet emperor of Eastern Xinjiang, and went to receive credit with our bullshit general, who would have thought that he would say that I had ruined his big thing, and gave me fifty military sticks, Lao Tzu was angry, tied up the royal princess as a concubine, and now it is still hidden in my house! But, no one has you, my baby tastes so good hahahahaha. ”
"The general is not afraid that the commander will punish him again?"
"What's so afraid of this, a yellow-haired child, thinking that he has come up with some tricks, and before the emperor takes a few pieces of lost land, he will climb on Lao Tzu's head? If he has the ability, he will come to Lao Tzu to ask for someone! ”
"The general is really mighty."
With the wine in the room, the general listened to some compliments, and he was also willing to give a reward. Mu Ruoying sounded quite interesting, the yellow-haired child in the general's mouth must be Chu Lingran, and it was Chu Lingran who knew that killing a puppet would be the loss of the dynasty, and the people in the frontier were used to killing to stop killing, this land was won by our country today, and it will be lost by other countries tomorrow, and this war is not good or bad.
But if the emperor's head is left, the people of the entire frontier will be grateful to the emperor of our dynasty, and foreign attacks will also hold on to an inch of loyalty, so as not to fall apart, this is why that general was punished by Chu Lingran. Chu Lingran is still young, but he thinks so thoroughly, he is really not an idle person. Mu Ruoying thought about it, this general has nothing to use in the future, but the princess Mu Ruoying, who went to our country, felt that she should get to know her, a father was killed, but she wanted to marry a princess who endured humiliation and humiliation by the enemy, and the hatred in her heart and the forbearance she buried would definitely be able to use a point, besides, Chu Lingran knew everything in the world, I am afraid that only this woman was unexpected by Chu Lingran.
There are a lot of official eunuchs of the shape of *, but nothing is out of Mu Ruoying's expectations, if it is some corruption, fraud and favoritism, no matter how big it is, it is a traitor who colludes with foreign enemies, these are all evidence of holding the head of the person, and there will be no ambiguity in doing things for Mu Ruoying in the future. Mu Ruoying's most abundant harvest today should be the royal scandal.
His Royal Highness King Qi's biological mother was a servant girl of the Huanyi Bureau, and the emperor favored her on a whim, but the queen was about to give birth at that time, and when she heard that her husband was with a lowly servant girl, she did not pay attention to dystocia and died, leaving the prince alone, so that the prince fell into frail and sick, and was diagnosed with the fact that he could not live to be thirty-five years old. The emperor hated the servant girl very much, who expected that the servant girl was also pregnant, so he had to wait for him to give birth to King Qi and then stab him to death. But the queen mother made a stumbling block from it, cultivated the method of compassion, and never let the maid be drunk by the emperor like this, so she entered the palace and sealed a mother, but it is equivalent to a cold palace, King Qi and his mother have depended on each other since childhood, and their lives are very hard.
It is customary for the servants in this palace to fight with people, and sometimes the unfavored concubines are not even comparable to the lowly palace maids, and King Qi has been like this with his mother for ten years, except for a few glances from afar at the sacrificial ceremony, he has never seen his emperor's father again. The emperor has always had a thorn in his heart, as long as that lady is alive, it is like a stalk in the throat, in fact, it is obviously his own mistake, but if there is no trace of her in the world, the emperor can comfort himself that it is the palace maid who seduced first, and pushed it cleanly, such a style is like a cold-blooded style that a royal should have. The child born by this royal family is a little more patient and cold-blooded than ordinary people, and I heard that His Royal Highness King Qi treats people like a friendly and gentle jade, but Mu Ruoying doesn't think so.
At that time, the only queen mother who could shelter their mother and son left, the emperor found a reason to let the lady go down to accompany the queen mother, leaving King Qi alone, the outside world said that King Qi was loyal to the emperor and had no second heart, so it seems that King Qi is also a powerful character, and he can endure such hatred, but it is a bit like his own situation, so Mu Ruoying wants to know the legendary His Royal Highness King Qi. If King Qi has the power to scheming in his heart, in this current situation, if he doesn't come to win over Mu Ruoying, it is really unreasonable, the crown prince will never allow King Qi to live, but King Qi is just like the outside world, concentrate on the tea ceremony, never ask about the government, I don't know if he is too calm or so cowardly, he doesn't dare to fight.
Feng Kite entertained the guests before secretly going to a west wing room on the third floor, there was a merry man dressed in men's clothes waiting for her, she looked at the romance downstairs from a high place, and sighed that everyone thinks that they can be heroes and dominate the world in their lives, of course, some people are very close to the world in the end, such as Mu Jinghong and Chu Lingran, who are as powerful as them, and can only live one in the end, but these people downstairs, with such a dream, hugged the beauty and said that their father was wrong, or that the one above him was mediocre, As everyone knows, all the words will reach Mu Ruoying's ears, and in the future, she will sit on the chips to let Mu Ruoying sit firmly in the country, and there will always be some handles in the hands of others in this life.
"Today is as you expected?"
Feng Kite asked the question she had been asking all along, and Mu Ruoying's expression seemed to be waiting for someone to come, but she was panicking about the arrival of something. Feng Kite thought that on the first day of the opening of this restaurant, she had captured the handle of five court ministers for her, and she should be satisfied, but even the son of the servant of the ministry she hadn't glanced at it, Mu Ruoying stared at the door of the Jingxiu Pavilion, thinking about things.
"Just as I expected."
"Then I don't understand, why? Looking worried, it really doesn't look like you on a regular basis. ”
"Auntie, can you know that my bold act this time, how many people in the world can guess that it is my means?"
Mu Ruoying took a sip of the tea that had cooled in her hand, the strange thing is that she didn't like to drink and love since she was a child, and she only loved the feeling of astringency after the fragrance of tea was gone, only then could she understand the bitterness of life, it was so unbearable but she must force you to recall the sweetness of the beginning in the middle of the night.
"I thought there was nothing wrong with this, why, you're in trouble?"
Mu Ruoying finally raised her eyes and looked at the wind kite, she was quite warm, the first thing the wind kite was worried about was not herself, she and the wind kite's aunt only interacted with each other when they needed help, and they were afraid that the people in the Mu Mansion would see what they were doing, but the hearts of the two were worried about each other.
"How does my aunt know that it's not you who is in trouble? After all, I am still the lord of the world, and there is no trouble. It's just that this day is a few points, and now He Xiyou's general trend is gone, and I haven't figured out Mu Jinghong's life or death yet... After all, he was the one in his mother's heart. And I don't want to help him accomplish something, the world is a few points, the imperial power is next to it, and Chu Lingran is even more unfathomable, and I am very frightened when I intersect with him. As for His Royal Highness King Qi and the emperor's favorite crown prince, I never believe that there is a person who is not greedy for imperial power, and even if there is, then he will have to do something in order to struggle in this troubled world. After all, my ambitions were spied on because of this, and I was afraid that tonight would not be as peaceful as it seemed. ”
"Are you worried that someone will come and smash the field?"
"That's not it, it's just that there is always a hunch, someone is going to force me to choose my situation, I can't wait and see the government ambiguously anymore, I think Chu Lingran can withstand the movement, and the emperor's sons are not easy to say. I can deal with this prince, but it's just a few words of officialdom, but I'm not sure about King Qi, maybe he has been among the guests for a long time, but I haven't noticed it. ”
Mu Ruoying looked at the woman on the stage and thought about what was about to happen tonight, she didn't actually come up with any countermeasures, she just felt that since she couldn't escape, she would come to block the water and cover the earth, this battle for the throne since ancient times, it seems that the closest thing is the emperor's son, but ah, the most dangerous thing about this He dynasty is the emperor's son.
"So do you think of a way to deal with it? If not, why don't you leave sooner? ”
"Not yet, out of the way, you can go down and receive the guests first. If I leave at this moment, it will seem that I dare not meet it, but I don't want to cooperate with the prince, and I will be too much of an enemy. ”
Mu Ruoying added another cup of tea, looked at the sound and color field downstairs, and said nothing. In the next hour, Mu Ruoying thought about how much of the position above the court would be able to hold the account books of these officials in the future, and the court dispute, because the emperor was facing the prince, the ministers should all follow the prince's party, but the prince was weak and sickly, and the current situation of the He dynasty was precarious, but he didn't know the situation, and the emperor also sat on the dragon chair for a long time and became so dull.
"The prince has arrived!"
