Chapter 9: Nguyen
"Master, master, something is wrong!"
As soon as he heard this voice, the old lady Chen, who was concentrating on writing a couplet, sank his heart, and the tip of the pen was crooked.
He wasn't in the mood to pity this couplet, since the little overlord was born, every time he heard Qingyun's words, he couldn't help but be frightened, and he couldn't stand the fright when he was old. If it weren't for the protection of the little overlord, he would be a lot older, and he would still sit in the position of the first assistant with a shy face and not move the nest.
Putting aside the messy thoughts, Old Lady Chen wondered what kind of mess she had caused again. threw the pen and came out: "Qingyun, what happened to the little overlord again?" ”
Qingyun ran back from the downtown in one go, panting and said, "No... I don't know, old. Master. ”
Old lady Chen wondered: "Don't know? Who did you not know? ”
Qingyun repeated this and this, and then said, "That young lady asked me to give this to you." ”
Old lady Chen took it, it was a fine piece of mutton fat white jade, semi-circular, and at a glance, it was deliberately divided into two halves.
He put it in his eyes and observed carefully, the ornaments on the jade pendant were flowers and birds, but it was quite ordinary, as long as it was a little money, he could buy a piece. There seems to be a word in the middle. It's just that it's split in half and it's not easy to identify.
Old Lady Chen couldn't help but get closer, and after a while, his cloudy eyes suddenly released a light. "Nguyen... The Ruan family..."
Qingyun didn't understand what he meant: "Master, what's wrong with the Ruan family?" Isn't the Ruan family the mother family of the first queen? Didn't he have been punished by the emperor for a long time and disappeared completely? ”
Old Lady Chen looked shocked and muttered, "How come? I see... I see, Fei'er is afraid that this time it will be a big disaster...", and he fell straight down.
"Master, master, come on! The old man fainted..."
——————
Chen Hanfei looked aggrieved and accused him: "Zhuo Yuanan! Just because you complained to my grandfather, I was punished by the family law and beaten thirty times, and I didn't go out for a whole year, not to mention all the loss of face, and now I still have marks on my buttocks..."
"Besides, I was dragged to Jade Pavilion by that group of friends, and I don't know what I'm doing inside. I was about to leave when I ran into you, but I begged you in a good voice to give you all the hundreds of taels of silver tickets on my body. What about you? You'll tell my grandfather when you get back. Are you still human? ”
Wei Ning had already lifted his veil, revealing his entire face. Listening to their conversation, she didn't have the cold expression she had in the palace, and there was a bit of softness between her eyebrows.
She pinched the peanuts and nodded, the peanuts on the plate were already halfway down. "I agree, this is indeed what Yuan'an can do."
Zhuo Yuanan smiled flatteringly. "It's not all over..."
"Tell me, are you going to unite and fix me." Chen Hanfei raised his head and asked Wei Ning, but he couldn't help but feel a little stunned when he looked at her.
When he was a child, he often went to the palace with his grandfather, and every time he met this princess who pretended to be a little adult, he couldn't help but bully her. It's just that every time she can't please her, she always has a way to get revenge quietly back, and let the people around her praise her for her generosity. On the contrary, he was always beaten. At that time, he knew that the eldest princess of the country was far from being as simple as she appeared.
Later, when he grew up, he had many companions, and he knew that the outside world was far more interesting than that cold palace, and the number of visits to the palace gradually decreased, and gradually I don't know when he never went there again.
The impression of the place seems to be only a group of Praetorian Guards coming and going, a heavy vermilion patent leather gate, and the little girl with deep eyes.
When he heard that she had succeeded to the throne, he was actually surprised. When she ascended the throne, he also watched her in the bustling crowd around her.
Look at her wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and three thousand green silk are coiled into a bun. She did not wear a crown, only a dragon head jade hairpin in her hair, and then covered her face with light veil, and sat firmly in the dragon chariot to accept the worship of ten thousand people. At that time, her eyes were cold and sharp, and the majesty of the emperor was on her. He could no longer see a trace of his former past.
At that time, she sat on the dragon chariot around the city for a week and then ascended to the Temple of Heaven to worship the sky, at that time she was the only one in the heaven and earth, and the bright yellow body did not know how many people's eyes were reflected. Her face was covered with a light veil, and her eyes were burning and she said to the whole world: "The bones of the first emperor are not cold, Weiqi has only been fighting for two years, and Shengjing is still devastated thousands of miles away, and hundreds of people are displaced and homeless. I have come here today, and I have no shame to face the ancestors of the country. ”
"The mountains and rivers are undecided, and there is no face to see the people of the world. When the Haiyan River is clear, and the country is safe and secure. I took off the veil, knelt down to worship the ancestors, spread thousands of miles of red silk, and comforted the lonely souls of 100,000 soldiers with splendid rivers and mountains..."
I don't know why her words seem to be engraved on his heart from that day, always remembering and being terrified, is that really the person he knows...
Chen Hanfei felt something cool against the skin behind his neck, and his distracted brain began to return to normal.
He heard Ah Zhao say coldly behind him: "Disrespectful to the princess..."
Chen Hanfei suddenly showed a smile: "A-Ning, your guard is also too temperamental..."
Zhuo Yuanan watched coldly: "When you were a child, you pulled people's hair, why didn't you say it when you grabbed osmanthus cakes." ”
"I was still young and ignorant. Master A-Ning has a lot of them, I don't remember them for a long time, and I still remember Ji Yan throwing me in the stable! ”
Zhuo Yuanan: "..."
"Your Majesty, I take back what I said before, I don't know him." He didn't have the courage to provoke the prime minister.
Wei Ning took the towel handed over by Ah Zhao and wiped his hands, and said impatiently: "Okay, let's get down to business!" ”
Zhuo Yuanan Zhengse: "I accompanied the second prince of Qi to play the whole Shengjing, he behaved like a prince and grandson nobleman who had just come to Weiguo to play, but he didn't find anything wrong." ”
"But there's one thing..."
Wei Ning's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly asked, "What?" ”
Zhuo Yuanan complained: "Do you know that my father will push this matter to me, so you let him do it?" ”
"This is under the jurisdiction of the Marquis of Yongding, and this matter naturally has to be handed over to him, but who he wants to send is not something I can manage. And you also belong to his jurisdiction, and either of you can do the same thing. Wei Ning took a sip of tea and refused to admit it.
Zhuo Yuan'an is in the position of the envoy of the Sifang Pavilion, which is under the jurisdiction of the Huainan Hou who is located in the Honglu Temple; In private, Zhuo Yuanan is the son of Huainan Hou, and he is the same family as Huainan Hou.
Zhuo Yuanan smiled bitterly: "How do I feel that the more you grow up, the more unlikable you become?" ”
"Wait, you're here to discuss state affairs?" Chen Hanfei reacted.
"What's wrong? She's the shopkeeper. Zhuo Yuanan pointed at Wei Ning.
Chen Hanfei: "That's it..."
"Still no, why are you here discussing all this thing? Still in front of me? ”
Wei Ning said meaningfully: "There are many people in the imperial city, and it is convenient here. You're well.. There are still places where you need help..."
Although Wei Ning was in the palace, he still had some understanding of the outside world. For example, Chen Hanfei, the first tyrant in Shengjing, took advantage of his grandfather to be the first assistant of the dynasty, and he was rampant and domineering in Shengjing, and no one dared to stop him. "You are famous in Shengjing, and you have no official rank, so you should know very well about Shengjing City. By the way, can you be in business? ”
Chen Hanfei was stunned for a moment, always feeling as if he had entered a wolf's den. "I have a few shops to my name..."
Wei Ning said quietly: "That's very good. ”
——————
After everyone left, the shopkeeper Song of Shiquan Restaurant knocked on the door of the private room.
Shopkeeper Song respectfully handed a thick account book to Wei Ning. "Miss, you can take a look at the accounts of the past half year."
The shopkeeper Song turned out to be the shopkeeper of this restaurant, and at that time his restaurant was not as famous as it is now, and he was worried about the operation of the restaurant all day long. Until one day, a woman with extraordinary bearing came and said that she took a fancy to the location of his restaurant and wanted to pay for it. also said that he could continue to be the shopkeeper, and only needed to take care of the restaurant for her.
Therefore, everyone thinks that the shopkeeper Song is the manager of the restaurant, but few people know that he is not the real shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper Song lowered his head, Miss only audits the accounts twice a year, since she took over this restaurant, the business of the restaurant has been booming, not to mention that it has now become the first restaurant in Shengjing. He had to admit that the young lady did have a talent for business.
It's just such a noble and unparalleled woman, but I don't know which family's young lady it is, over the years, except for the Yongshuo County Lord who was personally named by His Majesty today, there is quite a reputation, but there is no one else.
Thinking of His Majesty today, Shopkeeper Song couldn't help but feel excited, once at the enthronement ceremony, he saw this young lady for the first time, only to feel that the eyes under the veil seemed to be somewhat similar to the most noble woman in the country. He was so frightened by himself that the thought was extinguished for only a moment.
Wei Ning carefully flipped through a few pages of the account book and said, "Shopkeeper Song, the business of the restaurant doubled again last year, and I can check the account book once a year in the future." I'm relieved that the restaurant will be handed over to you. ”
When it comes to the business of the restaurant, Shopkeeper Song is full of smiles. "If it weren't for Miss, I'm afraid this restaurant would have ceased to exist a long time ago, where would I have thought of today."
Wei Ning replied: "I also take a fancy to the location of this restaurant, and I also have a little selfishness. ”
When she mentioned the current situation, she couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect to be able to make it what it is today, and I have to thank the shopkeeper Song all these years, I can't do many things in the restaurant myself, but thanks to you." ”
Shopkeeper Song hurriedly said: "Miss hired me as the shopkeeper, these are naturally my duties." ”
Wei Ning smiled hidden under the veil.
Shopkeeper Song said again: "Miss, there were two people looking for someone just now, I heard them describe it very much like Miss, so I took it upon myself to let them wait outside, do you want to see them?" ”
Shopkeeper Song heard the sound of his fingers tapping on the tabletop, which echoed clearly in the silent room, as if it had hit his heart. He didn't dare to gasp, sweat drops slipped down his forehead and fell to the tip of his nose, and then he heard an echo.
"Since everyone is here, please come in."
