On the seventeenth day of the lunar month, it rained goose feather dog snow in Jingshi again, and the snowflakes were fluttering one after another, and the sky and the earth were covered in silver, and the snow on the house was continuous, and strings of ice cubes formed under the eaves.

The atmosphere of the New Year has begun to have a bit, and even the merchants who came and went in and out of Jubaolou have returned to their hometowns, and the flow of people has gradually decreased.

Jingcha was in full swing, and the first thing Ma Wensheng did was to dismiss a group of palace members led by Zhu Zan in the name of dereliction of duty and loss of virtue.

Although the dismissal of Zhu Zan and others was obvious, Zhu Zan did not resign, and was simply dismissed from the palace in the end. Falling into this ending, I really don't know the current affairs, but it still inevitably caused panic, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is going to be a real thing, so the six departments of the imperial court, as well as the temples, have a little more tense atmosphere.

In the final analysis, Jubao Qian Zhuang and Jubao Lou are dependent on each other, and the credit of the silver ticket of the money village is maintained on the credit of the treasure building, and the merchants have long been afraid of the silver ticket, and the imperial court has also printed the silver ticket before, but it is a pity that the silver ticket has a price a day, so that there are even silver tickets with a silver amount of 10,000 taels on the market, and there are a lot of them, and the depreciation of the silver ticket is extremely fast, A month ago, it may be possible to exchange 8,000 taels of silver, and it would be good to get back 5,000 taels of silver a month later, so the silver tickets of Jubao Qianzhuang are still very cautious to be exchanged, and many people simply exchange 50 or 100 taels of silver first, and come to test it first.

The credit of this money village is not said to be established, Liu Chengfeng is not in a hurry, these days the Zhang family invited him to drink a wine, Liu Chengfeng took the opportunity and the Zhang brothers to finalize some Jubaolou branches to Jiangnan, Sichuan, Quanzhou and other places, the Zhang brothers are naturally full of help, Liu Chengfeng also put his mind at ease, peace of mind at home idle down.

The Wen family is already in a busy mess, the purchase of New Year's goods, and the ushering of each family, these many things, it is said that in previous years, the old lady came to Zhang Luo, but now the old lady is old, as for Wen Zheng, now he has rushed to the Nanzhen Mansion Division, and finally these trivial things fell on Wen Chenxi, Wen Chenxi is a meticulous person, and she is handy in dealing with this daily triviality, but she is too gentle and lacks deterrence, but it is also a headache.

The only people in the Wen family who are idle every day are Liu Chengfeng and Wen Chenruo, Liu Chengfeng sometimes takes her out for a walk, this is not that Liu Chengfeng has any ill intentions in his heart, it is really the old lady who is in charge of it, and Wen Chenruo is not allowed to go out alone, if this Wen Chen is idle, he naturally wants to find Liu Chengfeng as a cover.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, there were only a few days left before the New Year, Wen Chenruo came to look for Liu Chengfeng early in the morning, Wen Chenxi saw her, and couldn't help but smile and said to Liu Chengfeng: "Chenruo is very close to you." ”

This was an unintentional statement, but it made Liu Chengfeng feel like a thief, and hurriedly said: "Whoever can take her out to play, she will be closer to whom." However, I don't have time today, and I will invite a few brothers from the guard to drink later, and Commander Mu also sent a post to invite me to the banquet. ”

Wen Chenruo said pitifully: "I must go out today, I have already made an appointment with a few sisters, and my brother-in-law will help me no matter what." ”

Liu Chengfeng still shook his head.

Wen Chenruo called him even more pitifully and crisply: "Brother-in-law......"

Liu Chengfeng was iron-hearted and talked to Wen Chenxi, Wen Chenxi saw this, a little unbearable, and said: "It doesn't hurt to take her there, it won't delay much." ”

Liu Chengfeng was helpless and said, "Since that's the case, let's go for a trip." ”

Wen Chenruo cheered happily, Liu Chengfeng led her to the stable and called a carriage to go out with Wen Chenruo, asking her along the way, "Where are you going?" I'll send you there. ”

Wen Chenruo said: "Cuizhu ......"

Cuizhuju, Liu Chengfeng knew that on the edge of Di'anmen, it is said that many noblewomen and young ladies in Beijing like to go there, and men are generally not allowed to enter, so he said: "I will send you over and pick you up when the time comes." ”

Wen Chenruo said with a grin: "Okay." ”

When the carriage arrived at Cuizhuju, Liu Chengfeng asked someone to stop the carriage, got out of the carriage first, and took Wen Chenruo next, and said to Wen Chenruo: "At most an hour, I will come to pick you up, don't run around." ”

Wen Chenruo nodded vigorously and said, "Well, well, I know." ”

Liu Chengfeng was afraid that she would be cold, so he went to the carriage to get a coat to cover Wen Chenruo, Wen Chenruo shook his head and said, "No need, it's really ugly to wear out." ”

Liu Chengfeng was helpless and said: "If you get typhoid fever at that time, it depends on how you are." ”

Just as he was about to leave, a voice came from Cuizhuju: "Liu Chengfeng ......."

When I got here, I could actually meet acquaintances, and my voice was very crisp, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but be a little curious, since I got married, it seems that I haven't messed with flowers and grass, why is someone suddenly calling me? raised his head, and couldn't help but be stunned, it was the princess Taikang.

Princess Taikang Duoduo poked her head out of the building at this time and called Liu Chengfeng, who seemed to feel that this was too unruly, so she had to retract her head again.

Wen Chenruo smiled and said, "It turns out that the brother-in-law and the princess also recognize each other?" ”

Liu Chengfeng hurriedly squeaked and whined: "I don't know each other very well, I only had a few ...... when I entered the palace Okay, I'm leaving, I'll pick you up later. ”

After all, he was a thief, Liu Chengfeng wanted to leave when he got into the carriage, who knew that a little maid came out of this Cuizhu Curie and said to Liu Chengfeng: "Her Royal Highness the princess invites the son to go upstairs." ”

Wen Chenruo immediately became suspicious, his eyes aimed at Liu Chengfeng, as if to say, this is also a friendship between several sides?

Liu Chengfeng smiled bitterly: "This is where my daughter's house stays, what am I going to do in there?" When I went back to tell Her Royal Highness the princess, I said that I had good intentions, and Liu Chengfeng still had something to do, so I said goodbye. Just as he was about to urge the coachman to go quickly, the little maid said crisply: "Isn't the son afraid to go upstairs?" ”

Liu Chengfeng's face changed, and he said, "Who said I didn't dare to go upstairs!" He glared at the little maid, and said, "I know that you are a scheming, but I don't care about you, since the princess is invited, then simply go upstairs and sit down." ”

Liu Chengfeng jumped out of the car, and went up to Cuizhuju with Wen Chenruo.

Cuizhuju is said to be in the time of Yingzong, because of the change of the civil fort, the royal relatives who went out to fight in Beijing were all killed in battle, so that the entire prince's mansion in the capital was full of white clothes, and the widows of these princes had to get together to comfort each other, and finally there was this Cuizhuju, one to show that they were willing to widow and keep filial piety, on the other hand, they could also send some lonely people who lost their husbands.

It's just that later, there are many young mockers from rich and noble families who like to come here to play, and it has become a place for the ladies of the boudoir to play.

Of course, if Liu Chengfeng follows the customs, according to the habits of the market, this green bamboo house is called the widow's building, although it is broad daylight, but when he walks into the widow's building, Liu Chengfeng still feels a lot of pressure.

The furnishings inside are very elegant, with a little pink fragrance, Liu Chengfeng and Wen Chenruo went upstairs, entered a hall, the lights were bright, the fragrance was better, there were a lot of young ladies sitting in this hall, Princess Duoduo was sitting with a noble lady, as if whispering something, seeing Liu Chengfeng coming, Duoduo raised his eyes, looked at him complicatedly, and then smiled, and said: "Young Master Liu, you are here......" actually stood up and was full of enthusiasm.

Liu Chengfeng felt a little weird, what did Duoduo do with such enthusiasm for herself? There is a conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy.

No matter how self-absorbed Liu Chengfeng is, he also knows that the princess will not fall in love with him at first sight, so it may be that Her Royal Highness the princess has bad intentions.

Liu Chengfeng glanced in this hall, there were still a few eunuchs and maidservants standing in the corner of this hall, presumably Duoduo was allowed to go out of the palace with the permission of the palace, as for the noblewomen and young ladies, not to mention, there were more than 20 people, seeing Duoduo welcoming a man like this, he naturally had to look at Liu Chengfeng a few more times.

Liu Chengfeng's old face turned red, feeling that he had become a big horse monkey in the circus, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while. Wen Chenruo beside her was not a good thing, so she kindly sent her here, and as soon as she entered here, she ignored herself, and went directly to find a young lady to whisper.

Sitting in the corner of this hall, there are two men who look like sons, Liu Chengfeng can't help but feel strange, why are there two sons here? Mei Fei was also called in?

However, Liu Chengfeng obviously felt that these two sons cast a look of resentment towards him.

Liu Chengfeng understood that most of these two sons were the sons of the princes' family, and they were also invited, and most of them came to Princess Taikang, with the intention of pleasing Her Royal Highness the princess. But who is the princess? Even if they came in, they could only set up a table and sit in the corner, where could they have any closeness to the princess?

Originally, most of the two were still intriguing, and they didn't look at each other very well, but Liu Chengfeng's appearance made them suddenly jealous, as soon as Liu Chengfeng arrived, Princess Taikang put on a warm look, and said to Liu Chengfeng: "Liu Gongzi sat here, I have heard for a long time that you are knowledgeable, and we are about to ask for advice." ”

The other ladies saw that Liu Chengfeng was good-looking, and seeing that he was so young that he could afford to be knowledgeable, they naturally looked at him a little more, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have also heard of Liu Gongzi's name for a long time." ”

As soon as Duoduo said this, the two sons who were sitting in the last seat looked even more resentful, one snorted coldly, expressing disdain, and the other sneered, which means that I have never heard of the name of this Liu Gongzi.
