Chapter 590: Revenge

When the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City was not completed, Zhu Di lived in the West Palace, and now the large area of the palace has been merged into the West Garden. Here used to be the Longfu Palace in the west of the Yuantai liquid pool, it was abandoned for many years at first, it was restored to its former glory since the construction of the West Palace in the 14th year of Yongle, in addition to the Fengtian Palace, there are still the apse, the cool hall, the warm hall and the palaces of Renshou, Gyeongfu, Renhe, Wanchun, Yongshou, Changchun, etc., totaling more than 1,600 houses, which can be regarded as extremely magnificent.

However, no matter how spectacular a place is, without a host, it is inevitable that there will be some decadence. It has only been more than two years since Zhu Di moved to the Forbidden City, and most of the concubines and palace people who once gathered here naturally followed, and there are only a few old and decrepit palace maids and eunuchs who are not very favored here. Although he cleaned the moon and dust every day, even the warm and cool halls where Zhu Di lived looked bleak, let alone other places. In particular, the Wanchun Palace, which is scolded from time to time, has become a forbidden place for people to enter and exit by word of mouth, because there is a rumored former Fuyang Marquis who has gone crazy.

"What is this, pig food? Even if I'm not the Marquis of Fuyang, my mother is still a princess, so you just use these things to perfunctory me? Cailuan, Jiaofeng, get out of here, this place is so big, you don't want to hide! ”

In such a sharp shouting and scolding, the middle-aged eunuch who sent the food went out of the house empty-handed, and the food sent in was still resting on the high table. He knows very well that Li Maofang is just a mouthful of words to pick bones in eggs, but in fact, he cares most about his life, and he must eat all his meals, while the depressed mania of confinement is vented in other places.

If others commit such a big crime, they will definitely die, but Li Maofang's mother is a princess and her father is a hero. Two years ago, Princess Yongping sent two maidservants who were like flowers and jades in, and last year she quietly "died of illness", so she came to the current two, but even so, she still didn't toss. I heard that the princess is still marrying a wife for Li Maofang, where is this imprisonment, it is clearly a fairy-like blessing!

"Fan wine bag!"

Thinking about it, the middle-aged eunuch had already walked far away, and suddenly heard such a voice. Although he hated this nickname the most, hearing this arrogant voice, the middle-aged eunuch obediently turned around. When he saw that person clearly, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly trotted forward, nodding and saluting. Sure enough, the other party handed over a letter, and along with the envelope was a small piece of silver, so happy that he had nothing to do, and hurriedly carried it into his arms.

"Remember, the old rule, remind Fuyang Hou that it will be destroyed after seeing it!" The old eunuch raised his chin arrogantly, and then said to himself, "This Marquis of Fuyang is really lucky, the emperor is still looking at his grandson, and he can still get married." Tsk, that's the girl of the Zhang family, if it weren't for Princess Yongping's pleading, and there is a marriage certificate, the Zhang family may not be willing to marry! Okay, hurry up and deliver the letter, remember not to make a mistake, or we will uncover your skin! ”

Where did Fan Jiubao not know that the reward for sending the letter must be more than that, and the old eunuch must have deducted a lot of his head, but he was originally poor and poor when he was on an errand in the West Palace, and it was good to have such a subsidy, so even if he hated it in his heart, he didn't dare to show it, so he hurriedly turned around with a smile. Carrying the hem of his robe and returning the same way, when he crossed the path and was turning the corner, he walked without paying attention, and just collided with the oncoming person. This hit made the bridge of his nose sore, his head dizzy, and he raised his head and was about to curse, but as soon as he recognized that it was another big eunuch in Xiyuan who couldn't be provoked, he immediately changed his words suddenly.

"Father-in-law forgives the sin, the little one didn't pay attention for a while, and that's why he collided with you......"

"Little rabbit, don't you have eyes when you walk, so rampage!" Although the eunuch was about the same age as Fan Jiubao, he was ruthless when he scolded people, until he saw the other party kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy again and again, he snorted, flicked the corner of his robe and stood up, and kicked it angrily, but his eyes were immediately fixed on the right side of Fan Jiubao, "What's in your placket, take it out and I'll see!" ”

"What's there in the little one!"

Fan Jiubao looked down and saw that the letter in the placket of his clothes was exposed, and he was immediately frightened. However, before he could try to defend himself a few more words, the person on the other side stepped forward and reached directly into his arms and took out the letter. The big eunuch looked down, and his brow suddenly wrinkled into a big pimple. After weighing the weight, he suddenly turned around and looked at the sun boy carefully for a while, and then turned his back and casually stuffed the letter into Fan's wine bag.

"Be careful when you send this kind of thing in the future, don't think that everyone is as good at talking as our family! Hmph, Lao Dai is smart enough to know how to make money from this......"

Seeing the big eunuch flick his sleeves and leave, Fan Jiubao still knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move, and when the man disappeared completely, he breathed a sigh of relief. Carefully took out the letter and looked at it again, and was sure that the thing was fine, so he had to carefully hide the letter close to his body, and then he got up with one hand. After such a sudden change, he didn't dare to delay any longer, hurriedly ran in the direction of Wanchun Palace, entered it, and looked for the main owner to hand over the things, and he immediately slipped away.

The food sent by Li Maofang has not been touched at all, this is the warm fire meal in the palace, and a layer of hot silver bone charcoal is spread in the special sandwich under the food box, which will not cool down within an hour, and he is happy to make a pre-meal pastime. It's just that when he got the letter brought in by his mother, he threw aside the pleasure of fun. Roughly pushing away the naked Cailuan, he opened the seal in three or two times, took out the letter and read it at a glance, and immediately screamed in surprise.

Although he couldn't hide his joy, he still suppressed the excitement in his heart. Summoning a copper basin, he immediately lit the letterhead and envelope with flint. It wasn't until both of these things had been reduced to ashes in the copper basin that he let out a long sigh and burst out laughing. However, after only a few moments, his laughter stopped abruptly and was replaced by gnashing of teeth.

April 17 is the Emperor's Halloween Day, and if he can make the Emperor change his mind at that time, he may not only be able to marry a wife smoothly, but also leave this ghost place. At that time, Zhang Yue, you just wait and see, there is no end between us!

The big eunuch who had collided with Fan's wine bag at first hurried all the way, and when he reached a secluded place in the West Palace where few people passed, he looked around, and then lowered his voice and learned to meow three times. After a while, a figure appeared behind a house. The man stepped forward without saying a word, and after a few whispered conversations, he shoved something into his hand, and then disappeared into the darkness without looking back. Under the sun, the things in the eunuch's hands flashed with yellow and clear light.

Dade Silk Village in Songshu Hutong of Beijing is now more and more prosperous, although it is mainly engaged in silk Hangzhou silk from the south of the Yangtze River, etc., but because of the large hands of the owner behind it, Lu silk produced in Luzhou, Gu Rong produced in Lanzhou, carved silk produced in Dingzhou, Shu brocade produced in Chengdu, and crepe produced in Nanjing Yingtianfu...... There are all kinds of silk and satin, and naturally customers are full from morning to night. This silk village is a double courtyard inside and outside, inside is the treasury and the men live, and the main house in the inner courtyard is the important place of the account, and idlers are never allowed to enter or leave.

At this moment, the sound of abacus in the account room was loud, but Lin Sha, who was sitting on the lower left chair, was looking at the letter in his hand over and over again. Finally, she stuffed the letterhead back into the envelope, and then smiled: "At the beginning, I followed the princess for so many years, and other means were just enough, but I learned this handwriting vividly, not to mention Li Maofang, even the princess herself couldn't recognize it at all." Fortunately, the news handed out in it, the princess thought most of the matter, and she would never be suspicious when she saw the letter I faked. ”

"Recruiting such a subordinate as you, I have a lot less worry and effort."

Yuan Fang just took a fancy to Lin Sha's firm mind and her old experience, but he didn't expect her to come in handy over the years, so a smile appeared on his stereotypical face. The smile was fleeting, and he didn't take the letter, but said thoughtfully: "Since Princess Yongping really wants to take advantage of the Halloween Festival to make a living, it will be much easier to make a fuss about this matter." She has lived most of her life, and her mind is still meticulous after all, but Li Maofang is a straw bale. ”

"It's naturally the easiest to deal with straw bales, so don't worry about leaving this matter to me."

Lin Sha never mentioned why Yuan Fang suddenly remembered the mother and son, but he owed it, and a confident smile appeared on his beautiful face, and then said thoughtfully: "By the way, my lord knows, because Haishou brought back more than a dozen beauties from North Korea last year, and now the emperor has no daughters every night, and many ministers have a lot of complaints." In order to let the emperor agree to him to visit Li Maofang, the princess carefully selected a group of beauties to be used as drama troupes and presented to the emperor, if this matter is known to the minister......"

"Don't pay attention to this matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not used to seeing Princess Yongping for a day or two, and he will not let it go afterwards." Yuan Fang interrupted Lin Sha's words, and immediately asked lightly, "After all, it is your old master, so you don't have any incense?" ”

"It's both the old master and the enemy." Lin Sha usually hides a little shrewdness and paranoia in front of Yuan, but at this time he sneered, "The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, I have done enough for her in the Fan family, and in the end, she is just worried about whether I am really dead, I am afraid that she will stab me if she knows that I am not dead." To this day, adults still can't trust me? ”

"It's not that I can't believe you." Yuan Fang stood up and said lightly, "Women don't let women have eyebrows, there have been such women since ancient times, and you are no exception." It's just that, as a human being, it's natural that you can't let go of anything, even me. Lin Sha, think about it when you are free, in addition to being unwilling, what else can you not let go, that is the true meaning of your life in this world. ”
