Wang Xun and Ding Ze kept talking, and Gao Yue followed behind him and bowed his head and listened quietly, and roughly understood Chang Gon's new strategy:

Yan Zhenqing and Li Mi, first of all, he intended to invoke the introduction of Beijing, in order to seek the reputation of the so-called recommended virtuous, but in fact, they had another purpose - first let Yan Zhenqing be the secretary of the ministry, squeeze out Liu Yan, let Liu Yan be a vain scholar, and snatch the power of his Zhisanquan; At the same time, let Li Mi come and go, Chang Gon first tried his best to "praise" Li Mi's financial management skills in front of the emperor, and then said that the southeast region is still barren and needs talents to operate and develop, and Li Mi is the best candidate.

In this way, you can continue to maintain your position as an independent person.

In fact, Emperor Daizong originally wanted Li Yu to be the prime minister, but Chang Gon insisted: "If the ancient emperor wants to use people as the prime minister, he must first let him take care of people, and he should first let Li Shaoyuan go out to a certain state, so that he can understand the interests and sufferings of the people, and wait for the government to be well-founded, and then it is not too late to announce the white hemp." ”

It means that Li Mi will be the assassin of a certain state, and after the expiration of his term, if his political achievements are outstanding, His Majesty will be able to appoint him as the tomb of Zai, which is justified.

The emperor did not answer, but deliberately asked Li Mi what he thought in the Yanying Palace, and Li Mi replied angrily: "What Chang Menlang said is extremely true, the so-called Taigong governs Qi, and reports to the government in May, and the uncle governs Lu, and reports to the government in three years, please do your best for Your Majesty to assassinate a state." ”

These words made the emperor nod frequently.

In this way, the emperor asked Li Mi to stay in Beijing for the time being, waiting for the appointment of the assassin.

Alas, it is no wonder that Chang Gon was arrogant again, and blocked the door to the house.

And the cost of Jixian Courtyard has been cut by three-quarters alone, and I am afraid that there are also reasons why Chang Gon is hostile to himself, this person is too small!

During this time, I am afraid that I should be more leisurely, and I should concentrate on preparing for my marriage with Yun Shao.

What Gao Yue has to do now is to prepare for what Yun Shao called the "Nine Things", which is commonly referred to as "recruitment" and "dowry". What are the nine things? That is, Hehuan, Jiahe, Ejiao, Jiuzipu, Zhuwei, Shuangshi, cotton, longevity, and dry paint.

Among them, there is no need to say much, and obtaining it is the auspicious meaning of the newlywed; Jiahe is the ear of grain, divided into two, which means that the husband and wife share the blessing; Ejiao and dry lacquer, take the meaning of husband and wife Qin Se harmony like glue like lacquer; The double stone is the two feelings are solid, Pu Wei refers to the husband and wife can bend and stretch together, and the cotton wool and longevity wisps are hoped that the relationship between husband and wife will be harmonious and soft.

These nine things actually don't cost much, but if you think that the dowry is just these nine things, you have to ask for two ponies, a sheep, several cars, and more importantly, bundles, coins and food, otherwise just a grain ear and ejiao will be beaten out by the little lady's family.

At least forty dollars.

But......

Gao Yue can come up with this money now! Why?

Because of the previous Qujiang meeting, relying on the endorsement of Dugu Liangqi and Zheng Qi, all the businesses in Chang'an City were all popular in investing, and finally in addition to the cost of the banquet and the commission of the Jinshi group, there was actually a balance of 52 yuan.

Gao Yue had a black belly, and secretly left fifty pieces of money, which was only known to Wei Cigong, Liu De and Wang Tuantuan, and finally there were two pieces of money he gave to Zheng Qi, saying, "Zheng Langjun, the ten pieces of money owed to me will be written off, and you will work hard for the Da Bi family engraving at the Qujiang meeting, and I will personally take out the two pieces of money to subsidize you." ”

Zheng Qi took this money, and was actually a little moved, but he didn't expect Gao Yue to stick me with two pieces of money, which is really "love and righteousness are worth a thousand gold".

So before, he and Dugu Liangqi came to Huaizhenfang Gaoyue's cottage as guests, and Zheng Qi bought the wine and food with this two dollars.

Thinking of this, Gao Yue couldn't help but feel good, at least he didn't have to bear the marriage loan anymore.

So, he went to the West Market first, bought a lamb, pulled it with a green hemp rope, and slowly walked back to Huaizhenfang.

Wedding sheep, because of the harmony of sheep, and the group is not a party, has always been regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness.

But after entering the gate of Huaizhenfang, after coming to the door of his yard, Gao Yue was stunned:

On the left side of the door, Yun Shao's car was parked, and Yun Shao must be sitting behind the curtain, and next to him stood Guizi, a servant girl who was holding a pole;

On the right side of the door, there is a slender and lovely Zhi Hui dressed in green clothes, and she is also carrying a bamboo flute;

Gao Yue led the leader, and when he saw this scene, he was puzzled for a while, so he stood on the winding road leading to the center.

The wind was blowing, the scene was quiet, and then the lamb bleated.

"San Lang, I don't know what happened to this maid of the Red Peony Pavilion here?" Seeing Gao Yue holding the wedding lamb, Yun Shao suddenly stepped down from the cart and stood next to Gao Yue, as if he was the future hostess of this house and this man.

Who wants Zhi Hui to say a thousand blessings unhurriedly, and said to Yun Shao in a crisp voice, "Zhi Hui is no longer the refiner's maid, because she was sold to Gao Langjun by the refiner. ”

"Sell, sell? Why don't I know, Zhihui, don't hurt me! Gao Yue's face changed greatly, and he was just about to explain, when he saw Zhi Hui holding a document in his hand, saying that the delivery deed was here.

Gao Yue almost spurted blood, isn't this deed the debt document he signed with Xue Yaoying! It clearly said that he wanted to pay back Xue Yaoying's two thousand yuan, and he still pressed his fingerprints, if Yun Shao saw it, would he have it?

This little girl was threatening herself, so Gao Yue was embarrassed, and hurriedly explained to Yun Shao that the food cost of Jixian Courtyard was cut, and now it has been changed to a daily view, so someone has to be Zhang Luo for lunch and dinner, and it just so happens that this maid named Zhihui offended Master Xue before, and the refiner was angry, and he was ready to sell her at a low price, I was out of sympathy, of course, the most important thing is that there is a shortage of manpower in the family now, so I spent some money to buy her, and she is responsible for sprinkling and cleaning, cooking.

Yun Shao's face showed me believing in the letter, and then said coquettishly, "It's just that San Lang is too angry, if you lack slaves, just tell me, why bother to buy it." ”

Gao Yue said yes, yes, but in the past two days, he has been busy buying nine things for the bridal gift, and he has to find a messenger, isn't he forgetting?

"Well, that Saburo asked the messenger to come to his uncle's house earlier, and then sent the dowry to Xichuan, and our lifelong events can be decided." Yun Shao didn't really seem to care about Zhi Hui, after all, things in front of men and maidservants in the Tang Dynasty were commonplace, as if a man bought a cat and dog to play with in order to solve the emptiness and loneliness.

However, after the car left, Gao Yue realized:

Yun Shao's maidservant Guizi stayed, still standing in place.

Gao Yue pointed to the distant Tian car, meaning that you still haven't chased the little lady?

"The little lady confessed, in the days before the official wedding, Guizi took care of Langjun's daily life."

Come on, this Yun Shao, in fact, still cares!

As soon as the door opened, Zhihui rolled up her sleeves and went up and down the floor, first tethering the sheep to a stake to feed them, then taking care of the garden, sweeping the yard, dusting the furniture, mopping the floor, and then cooking and tidying up the dishes like a whirlwind.

Gao Yue and Guizi, who were sitting in the grass hall, were stunned......
