In late September, it is late autumn, and the warm sun does not make people feel hot, but can feel a faint warmth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Yonglin, the third lady of the Li family, is like this, she doesn't wear much in order to dress beautifully, and the sun shining on her body makes her feel very warm.

Li Yonglin took advantage of the sedan chair to bask in the sun and walked into her jewelry store through the back door.

At this time, the shopkeeper was in the backyard instructing the men and apprentices to carefully carry the goods. The goods in the jewelry store are small parts and large value, and there are many fragile things, so you have to be careful.

But the shopkeeper's eyes flashed immediately after seeing Li Yonglin, and he ordered the guys and apprentices to say a few words, and then hurriedly greeted him and said to Li Yonglin: "Third Miss." ”

"Shopkeeper Lin." Li Yonglin agreed.

Shopkeeper Lin looked around carefully to make sure that none of the buddies or apprentices could hear him speak, and then said to Li Yonglin: "Third Miss, I heard that the eunuchs around the emperor have taken a fancy to the Li family's property, and they are worried that the emperor is going to confiscate the Li family's property, so you summoned the head of the Li family yesterday?" ”

Li Yonglin looked at Shopkeeper Lin with some dumbfounded. She is still young, and she is the daughter of the head of the Li family, and she has not heard this kind of rumor that has been completely distorted after being spread by many people.

No wonder my mother and eldest brother hurried me out today to tell the shopkeeper the truth. Let them spread it like this, and maybe it will be like it in two days. And it made people panic, and the business had to be delayed a lot. Li Yonglin thought.

"Shopkeeper Lin, this is not the case. It is His Majesty who wants to build an industrial park, and he wants the Li family to make a model and move part of the silk industry to the industrial park. Not only the Li family, but also the Shang family will also relocate part of the tea industry to the park. ”

"However, as for what an industrial park is and what His Majesty's purpose is, I don't know, my father is very busy, and he doesn't have time to talk to me in detail." Li Yonglin said.

Shopkeeper Lin thought about it for a while, and then accepted what Li Yonglin said. One is that he had never heard the term 'industrial park' before, and it must have come from other places.

The second is because in the two years since this store was assigned to Li Yonglin, he had not been in contact with her for a short time, and he knew what Li Yonglin was like when she lied, and now she doesn't look like she is lying, so naturally she is not lying.

Shopkeeper Lin let out a sigh of relief. As long as the Li family is fine, it's fine. Although this jewelry store was given to Li Yonglin, it will be one of Li Yonglin's dowries in the future, but now it is also counted as the Li family's property, and if the Li family falls, their store will not be better.

When Li Yonglin saw his movements, she knew that she had come quite in time, and said to him: "You can talk to the guys and apprentices well, so that they can relax their minds." This time, His Majesty asked his cronies and ministers to tell my father in person, and it was clear that he took a fancy to my father. Our Li family does not have the power of Shen Wansan back then, so it is not worth His Majesty's hypocrisy and wrongdoing. My father said that after that, although our Li family is not an imperial businessman, it is almost the same, and it will be much more convenient to act in the future. ”

As for what Li Yonglin said was equivalent to an imperial businessman, Shopkeeper Lin didn't believe it at all, but he still believed it when it was convenient. The emperor is not a hungry soldier, since he uses the Li family, he can't help but give benefits.

"Alright, I won't delay you here, I'll go back. Remember to share it with the guys. Li Yonglin finally said.

With that, she turned around and went out through the back door, and Shopkeeper Lin sent her to the door.

Li Yonglin went out and was about to get into the sedan chair, when she suddenly heard a woman's voice say, "Sister Li." ”

Li Yonglin's body trembled, this voice is so familiar! She slowly turned her head to look in the direction from which the voice came, and sure enough, she saw the little girl who was a year younger than herself and claimed to be surnamed Zhang.

Li Yonglin's voice trembled and said, "Zhang, girl, why did you still come out to visit the market today?" ”

This Zhang girl is obviously Yun Zhi. The day before yesterday, Yunxi allowed her to come out today, and she came out early in the morning with her cronies and palace maids.

Yun Zhi seemed to be unconscious, stepped forward and took Li Yonglin's hand affectionately and said, "Sister Li, I was still looking for you." I couldn't buy anything when I went out three days ago, so I asked my sister to help me look at it today and buy some jewelry to take home. ”

Li Yonglin regained some consciousness at this time, and said to Yun Zhi: "It just so happens that this door is the back door of my family's jewelry store, let's enter through this door, and I will give the girl a few gadgets." ”

"Okay, Sister Li's things are good, I'm going to take a look." Yun Zhi said.

Li Yonglin then took her hand and walked in through the back door.

Shopkeeper Lin was still instructing the guys to move the goods at this time, and he was quite surprised to see Li Yonglin walk in again. Li Yonglin didn't say much to him, and said directly: "Prepare a room to receive distinguished guests." ”

Shopkeeper Lin hurriedly asked a guy to lead them to a room.

After entering the house, Li Yonglin asked the man to go down, and as soon as the door was closed, she knelt down and said, "The folk girl has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

She had known Yun Zhi seven or eight days ago, but she did not associate Yun Zhi with a princess at first. Yun Zhi is a Beijing official dialect, although the emperor is also in Suzhou, but it is impossible for ordinary people to associate a woman with a casual official accent as a palace person.

But after the incident three days ago, if Li Yonglin still can't think that Yun Zhi is a person in the palace, she will be too mentally retarded. Li Yonglin not only thought of it, but also analyzed that Yun Zhi must be a princess.

There are only three types of women in the palace who can have such power: powerful concubines, powerful palace maids and princesses. Yun Zhi's age doesn't look like a concubine and a powerful palace maid, so she can only be a princess. So Li Yonglin immediately knelt down and saluted Yun Zhi after retiring the others today, and called her a princess.

Yun Zhi said a little helplessly: "Don't be polite." But Li Yonglin still kowtowed respectfully before standing up.

Yun Zhi said: "Even if you guess the identity of this palace, you don't have to reveal it. Isn't it good to get along like before? ”

"How dare the folk girl call each other sisters with Her Royal Highness the Princess. I also ask Your Highness to forgive the people's daughter for her disrespectful sin in the past few days. Li Yonglin said.

Yun Zhi waved her hand and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty." She was a little frustrated, and finally met a person outside the palace who could talk to her on an equal footing, and finally became like this.

But Li Yonglin smiled at this time: "Since Her Royal Highness the princess has forgiven the sins of the people's daughter, the people's daughter is presumptuous." Sister Zhang, don't you want to see the jewelry in my store? I'll let the guy send me the latest style. As she spoke, she ordered a maid to go out and greet the fellows.

Yun Zhi was very happy: "That's how we should get along." He talked to Li Yonglin affectionately. Li Yonglin chose beautiful jewelry for Yun Zhi and 'sold' it to her at a price equivalent to giving it away.

After that, she accompanied Yun Zhi to walk around the street for a long time, and at ten o'clock in the afternoon, she and Yun Zhi went home separately.

Before parting, Yun Zhi took out a jade pendant, handed it to Li Yonglin and said, "Sister Li, I will leave Suzhou in a few days, and I will give you a jade pendant as a gift before leaving." In the future, if you come to the capital, you can also come to me with the jade pendant. ”

Li Yonglin did not shirk to accept this jade pendant, and also took out a jade pendant and said: "Miss Zhang, my sister's family runs a jewelry store, so I can only give my sister a jade pendant." ”

Yun Zhi didn't shirk, accepted her jade pendant, and tied it to her waist.

……

……

"You're doing a good job. If our family is a merchant in the capital, it is okay not to reveal her princess identity and slowly cultivate a relationship with her. But since we are merchants in Suzhou, Her Royal Highness the Princess is about to leave Suzhou, what's the point of concealing it? Li Yuanli said.

"It's just that it's a bit risky for you to still call her sister, especially sister. If she is unwilling to call each other sisters with ordinary people after her identity is revealed, you will greatly offend her. Fortunately, the princess didn't care. ”

"Dad, I did this after thinking about it a lot. Her Royal Highness the princess is only eleven years old, and she is still young, so she shouldn't hide her emotions much. So I judged that she had eaten this set based on the bits and pieces of contact with her, and I dared to do this. Li Yonglin said.

"Either way, you're still too risky. Even if the judgment is 90% certain, such a big risk should not be taken. Li Yuanli said.

"Yes, Daddy." Li Yonglin lowered her head and said.

Li Yuanli said again: "Show me the jade pendant that Her Royal Highness the Princess has rewarded you." ”

Li Yonglin took out the jade pendant from the sachet and handed it to Li Yuanli.

Li Yuanli looked at it and said: "This style is indeed the style of the palace, she didn't fool you with an ordinary jade pendant, it can be seen that she has some feelings with you." As he spoke, Li Yuanli handed the jade pendant to Li Yonglin again, "Keep it well, in the future, if there is any catastrophe in our Li family, this may be able to save our family." ”

……

……

Yun Xi watched a middle-aged man in a four-grade official uniform walk out of the room, sat on a chair and said, "You can count it as getting him away." ”

"His Majesty ordered the announcement of Bai Wenxuan's guilt, and he dared not believe it, it was really against the sky. Why didn't Your Majesty punish him heavily? Wang Xi said angrily on the side.

"You can't use too blunt means to deal with such people. If these Confucian scholars cannot be convinced, it will be counterproductive to force them. Strong evidence must be presented to dispel his suspicions. Yun Xi said.

"But he is really not suitable to continue to be in the position of Suzhou prefect. Look at the civil officials with similar qualifications but open minds in the DPRK and China, who were sent to take over as the prefect of Suzhou. ”

Suddenly, Yun Xi realized something, and scolded Wang Xi with a smile: "What are you talking about this!" You are suspected of eunuch interference, if I am in accordance with the ancestral system, I should send you to Xiaolingwei. If you can't go down yet, hurry up and call Jin Shan and a few of them up, and I want to discuss with them about the departure.! ”

Wang Xi hurriedly retreated.
