At the beginning of night, a few sparse stars twinkled among the clouds, and the moon gradually rose in a bend, appearing and disappearing. On the www.biquge.info Bianhe Street, the pedestrians and cars who return late are bustling, and the merchants who rush to the night market carry their burdens, shouting along the street with lanterns, and the shouts echo in the streets and alleys.

"Stop! Go to Mingyue Tower and ask the shopkeeper if the guest who lives on the third floor is gone. When the carriage arrived at the state bridgehead, Zhang Yue lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the Mingyue Tower at the south bridgehead from a distance, and the window sill on the top floor revealed some pale yellow lights, Li Yu may still be there. After thinking about it, Zhang Yue said again: "Forget it! I'll go on my own! ”

Yang Xuanli, who was outside the car, led two hundred horsemen to escort him, and when he saw that Zhang Yue had already gotten out of the carriage, he ordered the deputy envoy Le Yanwen to take ten people to follow, and waited here, because there were still people in the car.

A lantern hung in the corner of the roof of the carriage, and Li Duoshou sat on the low side of the carriage, sorting out a large stack of draft manuscripts in his hand, and stapling them into small wooden boxes with small hemp ropes, which he would need in a moment.

Feng Qianhou sat on the other side of the low table, leaning his back against the carriage board and closing his eyes to recuperate, and couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhang Yue getting off the car: "The envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty hasn't left yet, it may be just these two days, it's okay for Yuan Zhen to go and see him, remember to ask for more food!" ”

Zhang Yue responded, took Le Yanwen and others across the state bridge, and went downstairs to Mingyue, Le Yanwen stepped into the lobby to inquire first, and appeared at the door for a while to wave. Zhang Yue left a few personal soldiers outside and only took two people in.

Le Yanwen called a guy to lead the way, first went up to the third floor to hand over the sticker to ask to see, Zhang Yue took two personal soldiers to follow behind, and when he went up to the third floor, he saw the lights on the staircase and the corridor, more than a dozen attendants stood with knives on their shoulders, and a guard officer stopped Le Yanwen and was talking. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and two maids came out, they had seen Zhang Yue once, and they were busy squatting down to perform the blessing ceremony.

"Drop by, I don't know if His Royal Highness King Zheng is available?" Zhang Yue asked with a smile.

"Unfortunately! My master went to Honglu Temple in the afternoon, and he should be back soon. The princess instructed that if there is anything to do with Xianggong Zhang, he might as well come in first and wait for a while! A maid replied with a smile.

"Okay...... Is this welcome, or not? Zhang Yue froze, or walked in with the maid, walked through the lobby into a flower hall inside, the big window was half-hidden, the curtain curtain was also half opened, Zhang Yue walked to the window, and enjoyed the night on the Bianhe River outside.

The two maids went out for a while, and soon brought tea and pastries, and stood at the door without leaving. Zhang Yue looked back, and said with a smile: "Go and ask your princess to come out, there is something to talk to her, and I don't have much time for my appearance." ”

As he was talking, a person outside the door glanced in, and quickly retracted, it was Zhou Xian, seeing that Zhang Yue had seen it, he flashed and stood up, her eyebrows were picturesque, her face was not powdered, her long hair was wet, loosely tied with a ribbon behind her head, and it seemed that she had just bathed. She only wore a light green half-skirt on top of her moon-white long-sleeved middle shirt, and a loose tunic skirt, and the whole person looked beautiful and elegant.

"Zhang Xiang really came at an inopportune time, it's rude for a concubine to be like this!" Zhou Xian smiled a little embarrassedly, slowly walked into the flower hall, and knelt down after being a few feet on the other side.

"No! That is, the little lady who looks like a bean in her prime, etiquette or something, Zhang Mou has always cared not very much! Zhang Yue said on his lips, but said in his heart, what does it matter how you dress up, you look better if you don't wear clothes, haven't you ever seen a woman.

"Is Zhang Xianggong praising people, or hurting people? It's embarrassing to say this! Zhou Xian raised his slender hand to cover his mouth and chuckled, and the sleeves of his shirt inadvertently slipped to the crook of his arm, revealing half of his snow-white slender and round forearm.

"Huh...... Let's get down to business, the batch of silk tributes you brought to Tokyo has been successfully received by Huihe Commercial Bank, but half of the gold and copper materials you want have been paid, and the remaining half will be delivered in Ezhou, including follow-up transactions are also carried out in Ezhou. As many as you want! Zhang Yue said seriously.

"Although this is a bit difficult, it should be feasible for us to think of a way from Wu Yue's side!" Zhou Xian was slightly surprised, the last time Zhang Yue talked about this business with Li Yu and Zhong Mo, she also knew about it afterwards, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, so she asked, "What does Zhang Xianggong want so much food for?" If we can make it clearer, maybe we can do our best to prepare. ”

"Huh! If you don't make it clear, won't you do your best? But! That Zhong Shilang is an understanding person, if you want to hear Zhang Mou say it in person, hehe......" Zhang Yue smiled playfully, with a certain provocative + teasing meaning in his eyes, wandering around Zhou Xian, and finally staring at her eyes.

Zhou Xian was startled, looked away, and suddenly two blushes flew up on his pretty face, and he moved his calves that were sitting on his knees uncomfortably, and looked down at the clothes on his body, fortunately, he was wearing a collared middle shirt, although the weather was hot, and the clothes were a little thin, but it was not enough to expose anything, and when he looked up, he saw that Zhang Yue was still looking at himself, and he couldn't help but stare at him, the corners of his mouth were shy and annoyed, and there was a bright smile.

"It's a shame that you're a dignified minister, and you actually threaten such a female concubine!" Zhou Xian smiled angrily, and said: "We are going to Jiangnan tomorrow, if we want to talk about the follow-up, I'm afraid we have to wait for my husband to come back!" There is also Zhong Shilang, why don't you call someone to invite the concubine? ”

"Not necessarily! This is a follow-up order, you can take it first, but the actual transaction amount is subject to the person handling it in Jiangnan. Zhang Yue said, took out a few folded draft documents from his arms and put them on the low table, picked up the teacup and drank it all, pressed the documents casually, got up and arched his hand and said: "This is goodbye, the princess is exempt!" You leave Tokyo tomorrow, I'm afraid Zhang won't have time, but the Honglu Temple Pawn Office will have it! ”

"There are a lot of nobles in Zhang, and the concubine is idle now, so let's send it away!" Zhou Xian got up and symbolically sent to the staircase, but suddenly asked, "Zhang Xianggong's wife must be virtuous and beautiful, right?" It's a pity that I won't have a chance to meet! ”

"Oh? There's a chance! May the princess take care! Good bye! Zhang Yue glanced back at Zhou Xian, smiled meaningfully, and strode downstairs, thinking that maybe the world would be unified in a few years, and we would naturally be able to meet at that time, but ...... What was that like?

Back at the state bridge, Yang Xuanli and other soldiers were still waiting for the carriage, Zhang Yue rode all the way west across Xingzixing Street, to Junyi Bridgehead, the street in front of Bianlou Gate was deserted, and there was not even a lantern hanging under the eaves, but there was obviously someone in the shadows.

Since Bian Ji went to the northwest, with Xia Sui's military exploits to move to Fuzhou Prefecture Thorn History, Bian Lou became the headquarters of Huihe Commercial Bank in Tokyo, the front restaurant was also closed, the door was rarely opened, and the people who often lived here were the stewards of the business bank and their families, and the back three courtyards were all used as warehouses.

Yang Xuanli first went downstairs to inform Liu Guangye, who was setting up a whistle on the street near the door, that the personal soldiers who acted as coachmen drove the carriage into the side courtyard, Zhang Yue, Feng Qianhou, and Li Duoshou got off the carriage and entered the middle courtyard from the side door.

The three of them entered the backyard lobby through the door, and there were already more than 30 guard-level generals such as Li Chuyun, Zhang Lingduo, Luo Yanhuan, Zhao Yanhui, Zhang Guanghan, Dong Zunyu, Chen Jia, and Han Zhongming.

In addition, Li Tao, the secretary of the household department, Bian Guangfan, the servant of the criminal department, Zan Jurun, the envoy of the Xuanhui Southern Court and the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the four senior officials of the ministry and the imperial historian Zhongcheng and the privy counselor Bian Guiyan are also impressively listed.
