"Does even the little lady have someone you like?" Xiao Jia came in quietly, standing behind Lian Ruohan, her eyes showed appreciation, Lian Ruohan's words were delicate and soft, and if you looked carefully, there was strength and tenacity in the softness.

Poetry and heart, Lian Ruohan's poem is from the Book of Poetry "National Style, Zheng Feng, Wind and Rain", which means that a woman can not be happy and happy when she sees her intended heart.

Lian Ruohan smiled brightly and put down the pen: "Where is there any intentional person, but I just remembered this poem and wrote it casually." Mrs. Xiao, how is the Xiao family's lacquerware doing? ”

Xiao Jia Yingying smiled: "Xiao's lacquerware is now the most famous lacquer shop in Beijing, the latest several types of lacquerware, very welcome, the first batch of thousands of pieces sold without a single left, is urgently transferred from Quanzhou." ”

Xiao Jia has been busy with the expansion of Xiao's lacquerware recently, and has already found three stores, which have been negotiated and are only waiting to open at a later date. An Ziru returned to Quanzhou, responsible for the supply and allocation of goods, she took care of several stores by herself, so she was naturally too busy. Li Dingshan lives in King Jing's mansion and is busy with court affairs, so it is impossible to help her take care of business. She is looking for someone to help her take care of it recently, otherwise she will not be able to cope with it after all three stores open.

Although he is busy, he always cares about Xia Xiang. After learning that Xia Xiang was off the list, she was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do. Fortunately, Li Dingshan helped Xia Xiang deal with this matter behind her back, and she was a little relieved. If Xia Xiang falls off the list, what should he do in the future? Besides, with Xia Xiang's talent, even if he doesn't win the top prize, Tanhua is not a problem, how can Wen Changju be so shameless and have to win Xia Xiang's fame?

Li Dingshan did not tell Xiao Jia about the causes and consequences of Xia Xianggong's fame being taken by Wen Changju, and the affairs of the court, it is better to let Xiao Jia know less. It is enough for Xiao Jia to follow Lian Ruohan to do something in business in the future, and there is no need to get involved in court disputes.

Xiao Jia naturally obeyed Li Dingshan's words, and never asked Li Dingshan who Lian Ruohan was, and Li Dingshan didn't know, and only guessed that if Lian Ruohan was not a member of the four great families, he was a force secretly supported by the five princes. It's just that among the four princes, the eldest prince King Jing is the lowest-key and calm, secretly laying out the Jinjia camp, and has not cultivated business power. Li Dingshan knows King Jing best, and he also knows King Jing's focus.

Most of the focus of the Three Princes Star King is also in the court, in charge of the Ministry of Officials and Shangjing Mansion, which is enough for him to deal with, not to mention that the current Prime Minister Hou Pingpan controls the power of the court, and the Three Princes are friendly with Hou Pingpan, and Hou Pingpan reports to the Three Princes in every detail. According to Li Dingshan's speculation, Lian Ruohan is not the person of the three princes.

The fourth prince celebrates the king's heart to Buddhism, obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and does not seem to ask about the world, and he doesn't care that the Ministry of Rites he is in charge of is snatched away by the third prince, although Li Dingshan knows that the fourth prince is not really outside the heart, but he also guessed that Lian Ruohan has nothing to do with the fourth prince.

Then there will only be one Fifth Prince.

Among the five princes, King Yun is the youngest and has the lowest sense of existence, and few people think of his existence. The rumors about the five princes in the outside world are the least. Li Dingshan is clear, the five princes who have neither rumors nor preferences, don't look at the youngest, but they are the most incomprehensible. At the age of the fifth prince, either indulged in landscapes, martial arts, obsessed with calligraphy and painting, or lustful dogs and horses, no matter good or bad, it is normal for people to always have a hobby. If you have no hobbies, there is only one possibility - love the country.

It is Li Dingshan who believes that if Lian Ruohan is not a member of the four great families, he is a force secretly cultivated by the five princes.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the four great families are no longer as prominent as before, their power is still amazing, and the residual power is still there. It's just that the former illustrious world has changed, and the people are silent, no longer showing up, let alone participating in court battles, and they are safe and rich in the prosperous world. It's just that everyone who cares knows that the four great families have disappeared on the surface, but in fact, they are secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

Xiao Jia doesn't care about a lot, whether Lian Ruohan is the power of the Five Princes or the people of the Four Great Families, it doesn't matter, she only values Lian Ruohan's personality and ability.

Fortunately, Xia Xiangji is a celestial person, with an auspicious word in his name, and he really became auspicious, and finally he was on the list. Although it is at the bottom of the list, it is better than falling off the list. Hearing that in addition to Mr. secretly promoting this matter, Xia Xiang himself also planned a little bit to fully let all forces be used for his own use, Xiao Jia was secretly amazed, but also strengthened his own opinion, Xia Xiang will definitely shine in the future.

At the critical juncture of business expansion, she is very busy. After learning that Lian Ruohan and Xia Xiang knew each other, Xia Xiang also took advantage of the power of good times, she was very happy, Xia Xiang's ideas coincided with her, it can be seen that Xia Xiang is not only knowledgeable and talented, but also has business acumen, which is really rare.

"The land of Quanzhou, the road is far away, the transfer of freight to Beijing, whether it is a fleet or a fleet, are protracted, it is better to find a suitable place in the north, build a workshop specializing in the production of lacquerware, you can take local materials, make on the spot, so as to supply the needs of several lacquerware merchants in Beijing at any time." Lian Ruohan admires Xiao Jia's talent and intelligence very much, and with Xiao Jia's help, she is not only confident that she can further expand the scale of the good times, but also believes that Xiao Jia can become one of her right-hand men.

"It's a good idea, but where should it be built?" Xiao Jia pondered slightly, "The land in Beijing, every inch of land is gold, if it is built in Shangjing, the cost will remain high." ”

"It's better to build it in the ...... of Zhending Mansion" Lian Ruohan only thought about it in his heart, and then had a plan, "Zhending is more than 600 miles away from Shangjing, and it is not far away, but it is not close to it, and the Hutuo River is more than 100 miles east and connects with the canal, which is convenient for shipping." ”

"Why was it built in Zhending Mansion and not in Xijing?" Xiao Jia has his own opinions, "Xijing Henan Mansion is more than 1,000 miles away from Shangjing, although it is farther away, it is closer to Quanzhou, and it is more convenient for ships and horse fleets." In contrast, Luoju is more prosperous than Zhending. ”

Originally, there were four capitals in Daxia, namely Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, Henan Mansion in Xijing, Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing, and Daimyo Mansion in Beijing. After sweeping the north, the capital went to Beijing, and it became Wujing. In addition to Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion, also known as Lin'an, the rest of the capitals still retain their original names.

"I chose Zhending Mansion, Xijing is still a little farther away from Shangjing." Lian Ruohan chose to be in Zhending Mansion, which has far-reaching intentions, but it is inconvenient to tell Xiao Jia.

Xiao Jia is also a smart woman, and seeing that Lian Ruohan has made up her mind, she naturally doesn't say anything more.

"Xia Langjun and his entourage live in the Guanxin Pavilion......" Lian Ruohan's eyelids lowered slightly, and her eyes fell on the poem she had just inscribed, and a trace of brilliance flashed in her eyes, "There are still many spare rooms in the Guanxin Pavilion, if Xiao Niangzi wants to live, she can also move there." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, I still don't need it, I use my own accommodation. In addition, living in the Guanxin Pavilion is too far away from the lacquer shop. Xiao Jia's heart moved, and Lian Ruohan's slightly distracted demeanor was seen by her, and she couldn't help but secretly speculate, could it be that Lian Xiaoniang and Xia Xiangri had been in love for a long time, and secretly fell in love?

Xiao Jia lives in a remote and secluded courtyard, which is the residence arranged for her by Li Dingshan. It is inconvenient for her to show her face too much now, so as not to bring trouble to Li Dingshan. In fact, she really wanted to meet Xia Xiang at this time, but Mr. He didn't allow it. Sir said, the time is not yet ripe.

I don't know when the time will be ripe? Xiao Jia sighed in her heart, she knew that her husband was far-sighted, and he must be thinking about Xia Xiang and her, but although Xia Xiang is now in crisis, he is rising step by step, and she is drifting away from her, and she feels helpless and powerless in her heart.

Bidding farewell to Lian Ruohan, Xiao Jia returned to his residence. The residence is not too far from Lianxuan, rain and rain, fortunately, she has a carriage. Originally, Lian Ruohan stayed with her, but she still insisted on going back.

Xiao Jia's mind is like the wind and rain on a dark night, fluctuating and fluctuating. She sat in the carriage, swaying from side to side as the carriage swayed, and from time to time she remembered the three years she and Xia Xiang spent together in Zhongshan Village. How much laughter and beauty, how much past and nostalgia. Xia Xiang has been deeply imprinted in her heart, and it is difficult to eliminate it. It's just that Mr. said that she can't marry Xia Xiang, and there is an unreachable gap between her and Xia Xiang that cannot be crossed.

A gust of wind blew, driving the curtain, and the curtain flew up, and the light from outside shone into the car. Xiao Jia woke up suddenly, and looked up to see that the carriage was passing by a brightly lit mansion, and there were two big characters on the plaque of the mansion: Wenfu.

Wenchang is the house of Wenshang Shu.

A carriage was parked at the door, and one man was getting out. The lights were dim, and the person who got out of the car lowered his head and got out of the car, his face half hidden in the darkness, half illuminated by the light. Although he only saw half of his face, Xiao Jia recognized this person at a glance as Gao Hai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

What is Gao Hai's late night visit to Wenfu for? Xiao Jia didn't know that there was an oolong thing about changing the list today, she secretly met some high-ranking officials in Beijing with Li Dingshan, and she knew Wen Changju, Gao Hai, Chen Feng and others.

After Gao Hai got off the car, he avoided the water on the ground, carried his robe up the steps, and habitually turned around to see that Xiao Jia's carriage happened to flash and disappeared into the vast night. Because Xiao Jia's carriage was neither luxurious nor fragrant, and it was an extremely ordinary color, it did not attract his attention.

Gao Hai, led by the housekeeper, hurried to the guest room. Receiving a call from Wen Changju late at night, although he was reluctant, he still hurried over, knowing in his heart that Wen Changju was for today's two oolong things.

Wenchang raised his hands and stood, with his back to Gao Hai, facing the main hall. On the wall of the main hall, there is a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

Gao Hai stepped forward and saluted: "Xiaguan has seen Wen Shangshu." ”

Wen Changju did not turn back, his shoulders trembled slightly, he took off his official hat with flowers and hair on his head, and his back was a little stiff, far less powerful than when he was in the Gongyuan during the day.

"Gao Shilang, you watched from behind the official, have you ever seen that the official has a backbone?" Wen Changju's voice was three points cold and seven points official.

Gao Hai was slightly stunned, a playful sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, but his tone was very respectful: "The lower officials dare not offend Wen Shangshu." ”

"You still don't dare?" The trembling of Wen Chang's shoulders became more intense, he turned his head suddenly, his eyes widened, and his beard shook violently, "You, you, you have added Xia Xiang to the list by making a good opinion, in your eyes, are there still officials, King Qing, and the emperor?" ”

If it had been before, Gao Hai would have "pounced" on his knees at this moment, confessed his mistakes with tears in tears or honestly feared, and then defended himself, and finally said that Wen Changju believed and forgave him. Today, he bent down again unhurriedly and laughed dryly: "Wen Shangshu doesn't know that Xia Xiang was added to the list by the lower officials, but for the emperor and His Royal Highness King Qing, to correct and fill in the gaps for Wen Shangshu, and to pick up the omissions, so as not to have the regret of missing pearls." Chen Shilang and Bachelor Zhang both knew about this, and they also agreed with the opinion of the lower officials, thinking that Xia Xiang's talent should have been admitted. If you don't admit it, it's the crime of deception. ”

Wen Chang raised his finger to Gao Hai's nose, his whole body trembled, and his lips squirmed for a long time before he spoke: "Gao, Gao, Gaohai!" You have colluded with Chen Feng and Zhang in private, and you have always regarded you as a confidant......"

Confidant? A sneer of disdain flashed at the corner of Gao Hai's mouth, the slave was still about the same, and he still maintained the due humble smile on his face: "Wen Shangshu is serious, how can it be called collusion?" The lower officials lead the court, and they should serve the emperor for the country. As one of the examiners, doesn't Xia Guan even have the vision and power to admit an examiner? ”

Wen Changju sat back in his seat and said weakly: "Isn't Xia Xiang's test paper already destroyed?" ”

Wen Shangshu deliberately took out Xia Xiang's test paper and ordered the lower official to smear and destroy it, and the lower official was busy forgetting about it at the time, and the test paper was put aside casually. Later, when the list was released, it was seen by Chen Shilang, and Chen Shilang was shocked by the text. After Mr. Zhang released the list, he saw Xia Xiang's article, and he was also amazed. After the three of us discussed, we decided to change the list and add the name of Xia Xiang so as not to miss out on the talent. Gao Hai said it easily, in fact, the reason why he didn't listen to Wen Changju's words at that time to smear and destroy Xia Xiang's test paper was also hesitating. After all, the matter is big, although Wen Changju is in the Gongyuan to cover the sky with one hand, and with the help of the three princes, it is just a gesture to take out a small Xia Xiang, but in case of the East Window incident, it is he and not Wen Changju who carries the black pot.

It was Gao Hai who considered it, and finally left Xia Xiang's test paper. It wasn't until the black list incident and Cao Yongguo's night visit to Gaofu that he had a secret conversation with him, he was extremely glad that he didn't destroy Xia Xiang's test paper at that time, and he turned to join Chen Feng and Zhang in time to supplement Xia Xiang, which seemed to him to be a stroke of genius!

"You ......" Wen Changju was already so angry that he couldn't speak, he couldn't believe that Gao Hai, who had followed him for many years and obeyed him in everything, was actually on such an important matter, Yang Fengyin disobeyed, stabbed him in the back, his eyes were wide open, his beard was open, and he seemed to be about to burst out, but in the end he just waved his hand suddenly, "You, you go!" ”

"The next official retired." Gao Hai lowered his eyebrows and was still respectful, "Wen Shangshu must take care of your noble body, and now is the time for the imperial court to employ people." ”

After Wen Changju waited for Gao Hai to leave, he sat alone for a long time, his eyes were silent, and he muttered, "How is this good?" Cai Bei stole the beam and changed the pillar, and copied Xia Xiang's test paper...... Come on, pass on Cai Bei quickly. No, come back and let Cai Bei see you at the painting boat under the Tonghui Bridge on the Anding River. ”

The wind and rain are like obscurity, the roosters are crowing, the night is deeper, and the rain is even greater.
