After the twenty-third day of the lunar month, it is considered the New Year's Day. The rest of the court, the inventory of the store, the reward that should be rewarded, and the seal that should be begged for seal, are all a busy scene.

Naturally, there are a few happy and a few sad.

Li Zhiqing looked at this year's account books and felt full of grievances. Not to mention that at the end of the year, Jingbao Pavilion cut off two big deals in the palace, just looking at Jingbao Pavilion's meddling in the business of the officialdom in the capital, the income on the books of the store this year has dropped by nearly thirty percent compared with previous years!

He heard from the guys in the store that a few days ago, Jingbao Pavilion shared dividends, and even the people who sprinkled and swept the hall got a big red envelope, but his own guys were green in their eyes.

Li Zhiqing's brows were furrowed, the Ruan family had only taken over the Jingbao Pavilion for three years, and there was a faint tendency to argue with Si Zhenfang, given time, wouldn't he have to go alone in the capital? Si Zhenfang's hundreds of years of foundation, how can a yellow-mouthed child overpower the limelight!

He stood up on the ground, ordered people to prepare the car, and went to Yue Zangfeng's mansion.

"I've seen the palace decorations designed by the Treasure Pavilion, and it is indeed unique. Learning art is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. I have already mentioned it to you, and you should all turn a deaf ear. Relying on his back to the royal family, the family is dominant, so he thinks everything is fine. ”

Yue Zangfeng looked tired and rubbed his eyebrows, "Now that someone has caught up, it's good to put some pressure on Si Zhenfang." Otherwise, you don't know that there is a sky outside the sky, and you don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick! ”

Li Zhiqing wanted to ask for countermeasures, but he was taught a lesson in vain, so he had to respond. He was unwilling again, and whispered, "The ambition of this Jingbao Pavilion is huge. It's just a matter of meddling in the buying and selling orders of the eunuchs, I'm afraid that he is not greedy enough, and even the piece in the palace is ...... They all want a piece of the pie. ”

He looked at Yue Zangfeng's face and became more and more cautious: "Naturally, that little child doesn't measure his own strength, and the mayfly shakes the tree." It's just that if you get into some trouble for your master, it will be annoying to invite you unpleasantly! ”

"It's also the result of my slackness." Yue Zangfeng shook his head, "You think those words are reprimanding you, but in fact, they are not admonishing myself." If it weren't for my years of indulgence with you, you wouldn't have ended up where you are now. If Li Zhiyuan was still ...... back then"

Thinking of the old things, Yue Zangfeng let out a long sigh. The name of "Beiyue Nanli" is not called in vain. He appreciated Li Zhiyuan so much, and wanted to promote him to the capital to take charge of Si Zhenfang, but he didn't expect something like that to happen......

Li Zhiqing's heart jumped, he took a step closer, and said in a low voice: "Speaking of Li Zhiyuan, the master asked me to explore the design of the two ornaments in the palace, who made it." Coincidentally, the design craftsman of this main pen still has a deep relationship with us. ”

"Oh? Who is it? Yue Zangfeng turned his head to look.

"This person's name is Li Jingshan, and she is Li Zhiyuan's eldest daughter."

Yue Zangfeng sat up straight and asked in surprise, "What?!" How could the craftsman of the Li family go to the Jingbao Pavilion and work for another family? It's still the long room of the descendants of the static generation! ”

"Alas, this matter has to start after Li Zhiyuan's accident." Li Zhiqing pinched off the old things and said some of the old things, naturally skipping the humiliation suffered by the Li family, and only talking about how Li Jingshan forgot her ancestors and betrayed her righteousness and took refuge in other families.

Yue Zangfeng sighed after hearing this, "That's it, I didn't expect Li Zhiyuan to be a clear person, but the daughter he taught was so unbearable." No matter how speculative she is, it is difficult for her to go far in art. It's just a waste of tarnishing her father's name of 'Zhiyuan'. ”

He served tea to the guests, "You only need to be responsible for taking care of the store, and I will keep an eye on the work in the palace." Again, don't lie in the ancestral shadow left by your predecessors and consume your bones. ”

He watched Li Zhiqing retreat, rubbed his eyebrows again, and felt tired. The Li family has been beautiful for a hundred years, but now there is no successor!

Annual leave always flies by, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the Lantern Festival.

As usual, the palace set up a Lantern Festival New Year's banquet in the imperial garden, and invited the minister's family members to enjoy the lanterns and drink in the garden. The usually quiet and quiet Imperial Garden is bustling with activity.

Lan Guifei was impatient to socialize, took the maid's hand and went to the water's edge, planning to find a quiet warm pavilion to rest for a while, and the lantern viewing at night was the highlight of the Lantern Festival banquet.

When she walked to Changchun Pavilion, Concubine Lan didn't let people guard her, she only told her to agree outside. She lay down on the soft couch by the window, pushed open the window and could see the blue lake outside, and closed the window to form a unified small building. It's a good place to rest.

However, there are things that do not go according to people's wishes.

Concubine Lan closed her eyes and recuperated, and soon she heard the sound of people squirming outside, and she was leaning against the wall and chewing her tongue.

"Hey, this is a new palace ornament from years ago? Much better than the cookie-cutter ones of previous years. It was a shrill voice of a little eunuch.

A delicate palace maid's voice responded, "Well, the decoration of the lantern palace lantern can also be so good-looking, just today is the Lantern Festival, and it is just right to wear it." ”

"Not only should the occasion be, the lamp is on the same page, which means ascending to the heights, but it is not a good omen in the New Year. Hehe, it's a pity, I'm afraid this year's palace decoration is only the only one, and I'm afraid I won't see such a good one in the future. ”

Lan Guifei originally thought they were noisy, and was about to ask someone to drive people away, but when she heard this, she was aroused, opened her eyes, and listened carefully.

Sure enough, I heard the little palace maid ask, "Why?" Isn't there a new palace ornament every year? ”

"But this year's palace ornaments are not supervised by the Sizhen Bureau, but the work done by the craftsmen outside. Just because of this, the people of the Sizhen Bureau complained everywhere, saying that the nobles in the palace looked down on the imperial officials, but went to find the rivers and lakes and wild roads, which is really eye-catching! I'm going to wait for the New Year's Day, so I'm going to have to appeal to the Interior Office. "Heyuan book

Concubine Lan's eyes sank, and the corners of her lips tightened unconsciously. It turned out that he thought about Si Zhen Bureau everywhere and managed to save their face, but they didn't expect that they still blamed themselves for being wicked. In this case, you don't even have to give face!

The little girl outside was still innocently asking, "Yo, is there such a thing?" Originally, the people of the Sizhen Bureau were lazy, and they came out with the same style every year to fool people, and even the wicked people sued first! ”

"Shhhh This kind of thing is easy to talk nonsense, be careful that the master hears it and screws your mouth...... Someone's coming. ”

There were flowers and trees outside, and the two of them thought that they were far away, so Lan Guifei pushed open the window and breathed a long sigh of relief.

On the other side of the lake, the four princes stood by the water, listening to the report of their henchmen in front of them.

"Done?"

"According to the master's instructions, I have chosen two clever ones to pass the word to the mother."

The fourth prince showed a smile, "It's a good job, there's a reward." and the two messengers of the word, give them a good reward. ”

When the henchman retreated, a brocade-clothed boy next to him asked, "Fourth brother, it's just a jewelry shop outside the palace, isn't it his ancestral tomb that is smoking, and it is worthy of your help?" ”

The fourth prince snorted and laughed, "I didn't think about helping anyone. I think Si Zhen is too arrogant, but I just lost the list once, so stingy, I can't complain about others if I don't have the ability. ”

"Really? I've heard that you've been getting close to the shopkeeper of the jewelry shop lately. ”

"Hey, speaking of which," the fourth prince was interested, "that Ruan Mingyu's tea-making skills are really good, please try it another day." ”

The boy in brocade smiled and said, "I kind of understand, the other statements are false, and this reason is true." The fourth brother is interested in recruiting a tea boy. ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

----

On the Shangyuan Festival, Ruan Mingyu also had a reunion dinner with his family at home. However, for him, this meal is tantamount to a Hongmen feast. Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, the ancestor of the family, Mrs. Ruan, took the lead in "making trouble".

"Ah Yu is over the New Year, and it's almost twenty-five, right? This year drags on for a year, when will you bring a girl back and show grandma? ”

Nguyen Minh Yu pretended to be a quail and bowed his head to eat vegetables. In the first two years, he could still use the excuse of "I'm still young, I'm not in a hurry", but if I say this again this year, he will probably be knocked off the table by his grandmother with chopsticks.

"Grandma, now that Jingbao Pavilion has opened up a new business situation, there are so many things that I can't take care of it."

"When your father took over the Treasure Pavilion, he wasn't busy? It's all like you, now that your father hasn't even given birth to your eldest brother, can you still have you? "Mrs. Ruan is old and strong, full of energy, and she is handy in training her grandson, and she has a degree of discipline.

Ruan Mingyu was trained so that he couldn't even pretend to be a quail, so he had to pull out the second brother as a shield, "There is still a brother in front of me to get married, I'm not in a hurry." ”

"Your second brother is engaged! You haven't even brought a shadow with you. Mrs. Ruan didn't eat this set, "Before you were sent abroad, I heard from time to time that you were good with a girl, and when you came back from Minzhou, it seemed that you had changed your mind." Even Yuwei, who was always hanging around in front of me a while ago, didn't come. Why don't I be in a hurry! ”

The flames of war were brought to him, and he saw his younger brother looking at him with a smile, and the second brother Ruan Mingye was not good enough to stand by and watch. He also put down the soup bowl and said with a smile: "The third brother has an idea. Maybe I've fallen in love with a good girl early, and when the time comes, I'll take it home for you and your parents to see. ”

"Oh? Is there really anyone? Mrs. Ruan turned her head to look at Ruan Jinghong and Mrs. Ruan, "You two also know, why haven't you heard from you?" Hiding it from me, an old woman? ”

"Mother, I didn't deliberately hide it from you." Ruan Jinghong was kicked by his wife under the table, and hurriedly responded: "The person San'er likes is really not suitable." After saying that, he glared at Ruan Mingyu.

"How is it not appropriate? Is he a royal princess or a street beggar? ”

Ruan Jinghong glared at Ruan Mingyu and let him say it himself. Ruan Mingyu coughed lightly, sat upright, and replied solemnly, "Yes, grandma." I have a crush on a very good girl. Intelligent, beautiful and wise, gentle and strong, and has a good craft, she said, to compete with me, fly, help me stand at the highest place in life. ”

He looked at everyone's faces as he spoke, and added, "This girl's father and mother have all seen it, as well as the second brother." ”

Well, in a word, it pulled everyone into the water.

Mrs. Ruan said suspiciously, "Since you are such a good girl, why don't you take it home and let grandma see it?" Where is she from? ”

Ruan Mingyu took a deep breath, "She is the new master of the Zhen Hall, her name is Li Jingshan. ”

Mrs. Nguyen finally understood the reason and changed her face.
