The head is tall, eight feet away, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a white face and beardless, wearing a light blue robe, a light blue silk around the waist, and a dignified walking demeanor.

He was followed by four retinues, also dressed neatly.

When the shopkeeper saw the guests coming, he stepped forward and said, "The guest officer is here, please come inside." I don't know if the guest officer is in this lobby. Or go upstairs to the private room? ”

"We don't go there, we want to find your master, I don't know if it's convenient?"

When the shopkeeper saw that someone was looking for Miss Biao directly, he didn't know whether he was friend or foe, so he asked, "I don't know why the guest officer is looking for our master?" ”

"This can only be said when I see your master."

Jiang Ziyan originally saw the guests. Indicate that you want to see yourself, and wait for the person to tell the reason, and if it is worth talking, stay.

Seeing that the people who came were mysterious and secretive, hiding their heads and tails, and talking like a big man, they didn't like it in their hearts, and they didn't pay attention to these people, and went out directly with Ye Yu and Ye Chan.

When the shopkeeper saw that Miss Biao was gone, he didn't want to have anything to do with this person. Then he said to this man: "Our master never sees outsiders casually, and if there is no suitable reason, we will not be able to convey it to you."

We are also only responsible for what our guests eat and drink. I'm sorry, we really can't help you with the requirements of the honored guest. ”

The meaning is too obvious, if you eat, we will serve, if it is something else, sorry, we can't do anything.

The man didn't say much, and left the restaurant with a few entourage.

The shopkeeper shook his head behind him, and said in his heart: "What's the matter, when can these old men go to someone's house to find someone else's young lady casually?" It's really a bad day. ”

······

Some time ago, because the King of Chu returned to Beijing, Jiang Ziyan made a lot of money. In the blink of an eye, another foreign mission came.

Some time ago, I earned my own people's silver, but now I earn foreigners' silver, and the opportunity must be seized, and let go of the thunder and thunder in the sky.

Since he had the idea of doing business with foreigners, Jiang Ziyan made up the information of neighboring countries.

In addition to the Northern Jin Dynasty, there were four large countries and eighteen small countries on this continent, and these eighteen small countries were attached to these five large countries.

In addition, there are countless island countries on the eastern sea, due to the inconvenience of transportation, there is little contact with these countries on the mainland, and occasionally do some trade with the coastal residents of the Northern Jin Dynasty.

Today, the Northern Jin Dynasty defeated Xiliang and became the most powerful of the five great powers. In this foreign mission, in addition to the four large countries, eighteen small countries also sent missions, in order to obtain the blessing of the Northern Jin Dynasty.

The official post house of the Northern Jin Dynasty only received the missions of the other four large countries, and as for the envoys of those small countries, they could only find inns to live in.

In this way, Jiang Ziyan's inns, restaurants, and teahouses, including pastry shops, show shops, pharmacies, and gouache shops, are also busy.

Jiang Ziyan took Ye Yu and Ye Cicada to inspect back and forth in these shops, solved problems in a timely manner, and was very busy every day.

Early this morning, Jiang Ziyan and the others were just about to go out, and the housekeeper sent an invitation to Princess Bihua, saying that the carriage of the princess's mansion was waiting outside.

Jiang Ziyan thought that the little boy had something to do, so he hurried to the princess's mansion with Ye Yu and Ye Chan.

The housekeeper of the princess's mansion was waiting outside the door, and when he saw that the carriage that picked up Jiang Ziyan had arrived, he sent a small servant to report it quickly, and he went forward to take Jiang Ziyan and them into the mansion.

Jiang Ziyan saw that the housekeeper's expression was not too nervous, presumably the little boy was fine, and he didn't ask, and followed all the way inside.

When he was about to arrive at the flower hall, the county lord of Xiangyue greeted him, and when he saw Jiang Ziyan, he greeted him from a long distance: "Sister Ziyan, I miss my sister." ”

When Jiang Ziyan saw the county lord of Xiangyue, he also hurriedly ran over, pulled the county lord of Xiangyue and said, "My sister also misses my sister." ”

Holding the hand of the county lord of Xiangyue, I feel that this friendship is real, who said that these high-ranking mansions are full of intrigue, as long as you pay, you will also be rewarded.

Jiang Ziyan saw the current Xiangyue County Lord, his spirit was bright, and he was like two people when he first met.

The county lord of Xiangyue pulled Jiang Ziyan and said, "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you busy with now?" ”

"My sister is born to work hard, which is like my sister, I don't go out of the door to be a lady, and I raise it like a budding bud. Look at my sister's face, she is about to become an old woman. Jiang Ziyan said with a smile.

The county lord of Xiangyue pretended to be annoyed and said: "How can you tease your sister whenever you meet, I think you are begging for a beating." After speaking, she smiled, as if she enjoyed Jiang Ziyan's praise for her.

The two of them talked and laughed all the way to the flower hall, and saw Princess Bihua sitting there eating tea, and there were many maids and women standing next to her.

The county lord of Xiangyue said: "Mother, Sister Ziyan has arrived. ”

Jiang Ziyan also stepped forward and said, "Ziyan has seen the princess. ”

Princess Bihua put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Ziyan is here, come and sit." After speaking, he waved at Jiang Ziyan.

Jiang Ziyan let go of the Xiangyue County Lord, walked to Princess Bihua and sat down, and said, "Thank you, princess, for giving you the seat." ”

Princess Bihua smiled: "Family, don't be polite. ”

The county lord of Xiangyue walked behind Princess Bihua, put his hands on Princess Bihua's shoulders and said, "Mother, if you spoil Sister Ziyan like this, your daughter will be jealous." He giggled.

"It's quite a big person, you can also eat the vinegar of Ziyan. Eat as much as you want. ”

Princess Bihua is a person who pays attention to etiquette, and never puts down the princess's shelf in front of people, and always shows a serious face in front of people.

Now that I am laughing with these two juniors, I am also full of spring breeze, if someone who knows Princess Bihua sees it, they will definitely suspect that Princess Bihua has changed.

"Ziyan, look at my mother, when I see you, I will be ten years younger, and my face will smile like a flower. In my opinion, if Sister Ziyan lives in our house, her mother will live a long life without eating or drinking. ”

The county lord of Xiangyue became more and more jealous, which made Princess Bihua and Jiang Ziyan laugh too.

Jiang Ziyan said: "My sister doesn't have such ability, she is blessed by the princess, and she will definitely live a hundred years." ”

The servant brought the tea over, Jiang Ziyan took a cup, opened the lid, copied the tea leaves floating on it, covered it again, and put it on the coffee table beside him.

Jiang Ziyan received an invitation from Princess Bihua, and thought that the little boy had an accident again, but now seeing Princess Bihua and the county lord of Xiangyue smiling, it must have nothing to do with the little boy, so he asked: "I don't know why the princess is looking for Ziyan?" ”

Princess Bihua smiled, and said, "This matter is not a bad thing, but I don't know if Ziyan can accept it?" ”

Jiang Ziyan thought to herself, what is the need for the princess to speak in person.

"I don't know what the princess has to explain to Ziyan, as long as Ziyan can do her best, she will definitely go all out."

Jiang Ziyan only hoped that Princess Bihua would say something quickly, if she could do it, she would not refuse. If she can't do it herself, presumably Princess Bihua won't force herself.

Princess Bihua looked at Jiang Ziyan and said, "I have a cousin who married to Beiliao a few years ago. Her son is now coming to our Northern Jin Dynasty with the Northern Liao Mission, and he lives in our house. ”

When Jiang Ziyan heard this, the second monk was puzzled, Princess Bihua's cousin must be either a princess or a county lord, as the daughter of the royal family, it is normal to marry a foreign country and relatives, I don't know what this matter has to do with herself.

Next, Princess Bihua told a distant story, and Jiang Ziyan understood why Princess Bihua came to her.

Twenty years ago, when Emperor Taishang was in power, the Emperor of Northern Liao sent an envoy to the Northern Jin Dynasty to marry the princess, and the Emperor Taishang only had a daughter of Princess Bihua, so he was naturally reluctant to marry far away to Northern Liao, so he named Biyue, the third daughter of the eldest princess of Xianmin at that time, as a princess, and married far away to Liaodong.

At that time, Princess Biyue, who was in the prime of her cardamom years, was naturally unwilling, but the holy order was difficult, and when the day came, she married to Beiliao, and in the past 20 years, although the two countries have maintained friendship, Princess Biyue has never had personal dealings with the Northern Jin Dynasty.

Originally, Princess Bihua and Princess Biyue were close friends, but because Princess Biyue married Beiliao, the contact was interrupted.

Yesterday, Princess Biyue's son, the regent of Northern Liao, Duoduo, suddenly visited and brought a letter from Princess Biyue, and Princess Bihua left Duoduo to live in the princess's mansion.

Princess Bihua invited the princess of Duoduo, and at the banquet, the regent of Duoduo said the true intention of coming to the princess's mansion.
