"Three people died in the west of the city yesterday, have you heard?"

"Yo! That's what you say! I know that those three people are from the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, I heard that ...... One of them is still a member of the Leng family. You don't know, the bodies of those three people are all meat sauce, and you can't tell how they died. ”

"Really? Gee! It's cruel, you said it wouldn't be done by the people of Qin and Han, right? ”

"It's hard to say...... Huh! Regardless of him, let's talk about Yang Zijian. ”

Outside the tea ceremony shop, before the storyteller had started, several people were whispering about the murder in the west of the city. However, when the next day is coming, such murders are like throwing stones into the sea, and they can only cause a ripple, which is insignificant.

In the past few days, through this place, rumors have spread, and the news about the two princes above the court has been spreading in a steady stream, and everyone knows about it. Of course, in addition to talking about this matter, there is also a lot of noise about Yang Zijian picking dozens of talented people in the Tang Dynasty and pointing the finger at Mo Fei.

The tea ceremony shop took this opportunity to throw out all the poems written by Mo Fei about the tea ceremony, attracting a large number of customers. After the publicity was in place, the shopkeeper of the tea ceremony shop raised the price of tea, although it caused a certain amount of resistance from the guests, but fortunately, the tea ceremony shop here, the atmosphere was better, and the strange things could be heard, and the guests did not decrease but increased.

As this situation continues, Yipinxuan's crooked mouth shopkeeper has become more and more anxious in the past few days.

It stands to reason that in previous years, when it came to such a time, Qin merchants had stopped purchasing tea. Can this year ...... What's going on? The price of the tea ceremony shop was raised, and the Qin merchants not only did not stop purchasing, but instead crossed the border like locusts and bought them on a large scale.

Now in the whole of Chang'an, except for some large merchants, the tea of the rest of the merchants has been sold out, and the price of tea has become extremely high.

The crooked-mouthed shopkeeper saw that the momentum of Qin Shang's purchase had not weakened, and he was suspicious in his heart.

Don't...... This time there is a great demand from Qin merchants? The crooked-mouthed shopkeeper slapped his thigh, and the secret passage was broken. In previous years, Qin merchants did not procure much, because there were endless bandits along the way, and there were often accidents. But this year, there is Fu Tianyi, the apprentice of the ancient smoker, how can there be a bandit who dares to be so short-sighted?

The crooked-eyed shopkeeper figured out the key point, and hurriedly gave an order to the guy in the shop.

If it is a small business, he can completely finalize these businesses by himself, but once the transaction is too large, he still has to return to the owner. Moreover, there is also the participation of Princess Huai'an's industry in this business, and for the sake of insurance, it is really necessary to say hello to the second prince in advance.

At dusk, the crooked shopkeeper went straight to the Yongqing Palace of the second prince.

In the Yongqing Palace.

The sound of glamour in the courtyard came out, and the second prince Li Huaijing was still dressed as Yu Ji in the play, this "Farewell My Concubine", the second prince sang in the morning and in the evening, and the words of the play came as soon as he opened his mouth, and the steps were presentable, and he was singing back and forth with the overlord.

In the past few days, the Qing rumors have made trouble, and on the side of the second prince, Zhongshu Shilang and Jingxian Cheng have been given evidence of accepting bribes, and they have been removed from their posts for investigation. The ministers of the court and the central government were panicked, and except for the officials who were loyal to the Leng family, everyone else remained silent.

Even the second prince was grounded by the emperor.

However, everyone knows very well in their hearts that as long as the second prince is still the grandson of the Leng family, as long as he has the support of the Leng family behind him, the second prince will not fall easily. Therefore, when the crooked-mouthed shopkeeper saw the second prince, his attitude was still humble and his words were still respectful.

"Second prince, if you think you can, the villain will immediately go down and buy tea from other vendors at a low price. Taking advantage of the fact that the trend of rising tea prices is not obvious, we will buy more, and then sell them to Qin Shang at a high price, and Yipinxuan will make a lot of money by keeping it. ”

After listening to the crooked shopkeeper's words, the second prince didn't take it seriously at all, waved his cloud hand, babbling and singing: "Such a trivial matter, why bother me." You go quickly, don't bother me—"

The crooked-mouthed shopkeeper heard the words and bowed out.

Looking at the meaning of the second prince, he can make his own decisions in this matter. In this way, Yipinxuan can also buy tea and raise the price like a tea ceremony shop. When the time comes, I will fight with the tea ceremony shop and make this business. Maybe it will be more favored by the second prince in the future, and when the time comes, it will be easy to soar.

The crooked-mouthed shopkeeper proudly left the Yongqing Palace.

……

At the same time, in the Sifang Pavilion, the banquet of talented people organized by the Great Prince, King Xian, King Xiaoyao, Ye Gongshu and others has begun. This talent banquet is not only a meeting of talents, but also a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust.

At this banquet, the four great Confucian sages, the deans of those academies, and the three kingdoms of Qin, Han, and Tang, all 150 students who participated in the Tianxia meeting will arrive.

At the banquet of talents, the people who came were all celebrities and scholars, and they were Confucian and virtuous. Therefore, everyone is self-conscious, and they are polite and polite in conversation, for fear that one will be careless and lose etiquette.

It is precisely because of this that whether it is the appearance of the four Confucian sages, or the arrival of talents such as Yunyi and Leng Futong, although everyone has sideways eyes, it has not caused much repercussions.

In the past few days, the second prince was grounded, and the emperor specially sent the eldest prince to sit in the town in order to show the importance of the banquet of talented people. However, since the person sitting at the head was a person of prominent status, even if he was the eldest prince, he could only sit on the side and listen to everyone's conversation.

However, even so, the spring breeze on the eldest prince's face is still very obvious.

"Huh! Sister Xinchen, it seems that there is not much space here. ”

At the top of the garden of the Sifang Pavilion, sitting are You Zaifu, Ye Gongshu and others. At the next level, there were two rows of tables, each of which was one for two people, and when Ye Lingzhu, Yan Xinchen and Yun Yao arrived here, there was only one empty table in the room, and the rest of the tables were either full or sitting alone.

Ye Lingzhu and Yun Yao have similar personalities, have similar temperaments, and love to be lively, so the two smiled embarrassedly and hurriedly slipped towards the empty table.

Yan Xinchen pursed his lips and smiled, looking at the table next to him. At this time, Pei Jiannan on the side looked at Yan Xinchen with affection, straightened up, and said earnestly: "Xinchen, ...... here"

Before Pei Chennan's words fell, Yan Xinchen frowned, and politely refused: "No need, thank you, Senior Brother Pei." ”

didn't care about the embarrassment on Pei Yanan's face.

Immediately, he turned his head to look at Mo Fei, who was wearing a jet-black dress next to him, and his lips and teeth opened lightly: "Childe, is there anyone here?" ”

Now it's dark night, Mo Fei is wearing black clothes again, and his sense of presence is very low at the talent banquet where people come and go. Yan Xinchen didn't want to sit with Pei Chennan, so he had no choice but to find a place casually.

Mo Fei raised his head slightly and said, "Ao! No, you sit down. ”

The tone is very casual, unlike other talented people who speak in a crepe. After speaking, he lowered his head again.

Yan Xinchen was stunned, in fact, as the most talented woman in the world, her appearance is also glamorous. Usually, when those men saw her, even if they were not fascinated, their eyes were full of admiration.

But the man in front of him ...... It doesn't seem to care about any of this at all.

Didn't you use to be the most annoying look at yourself when others looked at you! What's going on now? Yan Xinchen shook his head with a smile and sat next to Mo Fei.

Mo Fei, who was pretending to sleep, after Yan Xinchen sat down, a faint aroma came from the tip of his nose, showing a trace of warmth on his indifferent face. Just now, when he saw Yan Xinchen, he was also amazed by the other party. However, this kind of amazement is more because of the ladylike temperament that flows from Yan Xinchen. This temperament is by far the most comfortable feeling for him.

This feeling is even better than her looks.

On top of the feast, there will be a ring to arrange fruits, pastries and wine. Could it be that on this table, Yan Xinchen has fruits over there, and there are pastries here. The pastries are made by the imperial chef of the palace food bureau, there are concubine red, five-spice cakes, etc., which are exquisitely placed and full of aroma.

Maybe I didn't have a good rest last night, but I was groggy and asleep.

After a while, I heard a slight noise on the table, opened my eyes, and found that a piece of chaise red was missing from the pastry plate in front of me. Mo Fei looked at Yan Xinchen next to him and saw her smiling, sitting dignified and virtuous.

Mo Fei didn't care and continued to sleep. After a while, there was a slight sound on the table in front of him, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the chaise red in the pastry plate on the table was missing another piece.

And Yan Xinchen next to him was still smiling and sitting upright.
