Chapter 199: Business is booming, and the Red Mansion is drunk
The heavy snow has been falling for more than ten days and there is no sign of clearing, after a plague, the living people seem to cherish life more, the streets and alleys are busy with lights, but the atmosphere of the new year is getting heavier and heavier.
People are busy buying clothes, cleaning houses, and buying festive meals.
A snow made the cold Yingtian Capital City feel warm.
Su Liuyin suddenly remembered such a busy and festive celebration, she hadn't experienced it for a long time, when she was a child, the family got together, and the picture of harmony flashed in front of her eyes like a marquee.
She knew that she couldn't spend any more time here, and the things in the border land had not yet been dealt with, and Yu Lie had already sent several letters, urging her to hurry back.
Jinxiu confronted Father-in-law Yu alone, she had already learned her identity, and Father-in-law Yu felt guilty, and said goodbye to her in a hurry, on the grounds that he wanted to return to his hometown.
Su Liuyin was not at ease, in the end, it was the person next to the Wei thief, so she sent a secret guard to follow him, and came back only to report: Father-in-law Yu fell headlong into the release pond in front of Linggu Temple, and never went ashore again.
Father-in-law Yu is an understanding person, Wei thief's eyeliner is all over the place, once he is out of Su Liuyin's control, he will no longer be able to escape his claws, but how piercing the lake should be this December!
As for Cui Yunrou, Su Liuyin did not intend to let her go easily, and for her, living under her surveillance was worse than death.
The disappearance of her beloved daughter, Cui Chengxiu has already messed up, and she has vowed to turn Ying Tian upside down.
At this time, the Donglin Party and the Wei thief party were fighting in fire and water, and Cui Chengxiu, as the lackey of the Wei thief, would do things out of the ordinary when he was in a mess, and even began to use the palace forbidden army.
Planting spies around the Son of Heaven is such a rebellious thing.
was pinched by the handle, grasped the stakes, and successively several ministers went to the emperor to complain, the emperor was angry, the Wei thief tried his best to preserve, Cui Chengxiu was still demoted twice, and there was a suspicion between the Wei thief and the emperor.
There was no news of his beloved daughter for most of the month, Cui Chengxiu had almost fallen, singing every day, drinking and meat, and even Wei Thief gave up on him.
Su Liu specially instructed people to tell the news of his father's pain every day, so that he would not be bent on death!
These days are idle, the guards sent before still have no clues, naturally they act nonsensically, this day she was in a good mood, seeing that the guards are also slack, so she gave them a day off to do what they wanted.
On such a festive day, they all lost their families in the war with Mongolia, and now they can't help but feel depressed when they think about it.
The long-planned "Drunken Red Mansion" in the west of the street has been opened, Shen Rong and Jinxiu have changed their names and surnames, and they have shown themselves in disguises, hiding here, the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place,
Over the years, Shen Rong has also learned a lot of books under the oppression of his father, but he doesn't know anything about the political affairs of the world, and he didn't expect to have some research on the poetry of Fenghua Xueyue.
A group of women all happily gathered around their heads and looked up their necks.
Jinxiu seemed to have the soul of being a woman at this time, and looked at the young man on the ladder and only smiled softly.
He persuaded the girls gathered around: "Let's look at it when the paste is finished, stretch your necks together, and wait for the ash of the soles of the clouds to fall and blind your eyes." ”
One of the girls smiled and said, "The girl who fell into the water loves to make fun of us, I see you, you are jealous, and you don't want us to see your lover here." ”
Cloudy sky and falling water are the names of the two now.
Su Liuyin looked at them silently and laughed, feeling that she couldn't stand the cold, so she went into the house.
Besides, her Qinglou is different from all the Fengyue places in this Yingtian, with a complete business strategy, and has introduced new things in the 21st century, which has become a topic of conversation in the capital for a while.
spent the lowest cost and did the most profitable things, and introduced a large number of old and decrepit women.
The painter who painted the picture of the Spring Palace was unpopular in the eyes of the world, and he could not get on the stage, but the drunken Red Mansion hired them who were destitute, they had a place to live, and they were in the place of wind and moon every day, and their inspiration was like flowing water.
Half-old, the flavor is still there, beautiful girls, delicate and lovely, all of them have painted their charm, and the people in the paintings are all fresh and refined, and the fairies who are mortal in the nine days.
Printing the fairies on the picture album or folding fan soon became the standard for the prince of the capital.
For a time, many people came to visit, and the middle-aged woman who was worried about her livelihood was praised as a fairy and descended to earth.
The newcomers and the elderly are all guaranteed systems, and they have a good reputation in the industry.
There are already several top brands in Chunxing Mansion who have tried their all, just to redeem themselves and defect to the "Drunken Red Mansion", Qin Huai Bayan has already entered her door, because if this woman can have a shelter in the troubled times, she will be satisfied.
If a beautiful woman has an appointment, she will naturally take away most of the customers, and there are romantic talents gathered here, which is a romantic affair.
In just half a month, the drunken red mansion has become famous in the capital, becoming a signboard, and has formed a chain storefront, making a lot of money, all of which are exported to the border.
The tree is very windy, and naturally there are many troubles.
And the woman in the dust is the easiest to get the information that Su Liuyin has in mind, and she hollowed out her mind to find the evidence of the crimes of several bigwigs in the Donglin Party, which can be punished by the Nine Clans.
They also sent people to negotiate to form a community of interests, and naturally they became the masters on the surface.
Su Liuyin likes to listen to some interesting stories here, the girls and guests here don't know her, Ruan Niang has become one of the bosses here, and the girls look at her respectful appearance, and naturally they don't dare to slack off.
And there was also an interesting incident in the Prince's Palace.
Duan Chuyi's original doorman suddenly went crazy, stripped naked, and ran naked in the palace regardless of it.
This person is the merry and talented Tang Bohu.
Su Liuyin recognized him, and he had seen this person in the mansion, and it was indeed strange to bury flowers and chant poems.
However, she didn't believe that he would be rude in a prince's mansion for no reason, and sent someone to invite him here to make a picture of the spring palace with a lot of money, and it was only a matter of time before he came out.
When Su Liuyin entered the warm pavilion, a secret guard sneaked into her house, and it seemed that something had come to report.
Seeing that his expression was different, he knew that he had something to say, so he called him in.
"I finally gave you a day off, why did you come back?"
He replied respectfully: "We have been paying attention these days, and it seems that there are always people watching us outside. ”
Su Liuyin was taken aback, frowned, and said, "Have you looked carefully?" Could it be that someone has discovered your whereabouts? ”
"Yes." He replied: "Two times we didn't really see it, and two times we saw it clearly, above the market, and outside the guest rooms, pretending to be passers-by, and really inquiring about where we came from!" ”
Su Liuyin was shocked, could it be the spy of the Wei thief, this matter is very important, so she asked, "Have you figured out whose person it is?" What is exposed? ”
There was a hint of doubt between his eyebrows, and he said, "It seems to be someone from the palace!" He added: "But they don't have any actions that seem to have bad intentions, it's just that Yingtian is heavily guarded, and there are spies of Wei thieves everywhere, and it seems that the other party doesn't dare to take action easily, does the girl want us to capture them to see you?" “
Su Liuyin gently tapped her fingers on the tabletop, making a regular tapping sound, "Could it be that our whereabouts have been exposed?" Xu Yu smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to it, just be careful of your actions in private, don't expose our intentions, and don't startle the snake." ”
He had no choice but to retire.
Shen Rong doesn't seem to be in a good mood recently, except for a few laughs when he posted couplets, he has become more and more depressed all day long in the past few days.
Su Liuyin looked for a good day when the snow disappeared, and specially invited him to come to his house to play chess and relax.
Shen Rong leaned his hand on the chair, lazily dropped a black spot, and when he realized that he was wrong, he wanted to regret his move.
Su Liuyin said with a smile: "You are cheating, I only let you do it one last time!" ”
He pushed the chessboard and said, "That's it, that's it, seeing that I'm going to lose, I won't play." ”
Su Liuyin hurriedly said: "What is this, regretting chess and not succeeding in cheating, you are a big man who has no bearing at all, and you have learned enough of that girl's childish temperament, now this is a double harvest of career and love, why not be satisfied!" ”
Shen Rong fiddled with the chess pieces in front of him and said, "I'm worried about it, and if I play ten more games, I will lose." ”
Su Liuyin pushed away the chess pieces in front of her and said heartily: "I don't look annoyed now, but you have said such things softly in the past few years, let me be good!" ”
The young man bit his lip and said, "Sister Yin'er, where do you know what is in my heart, now I am the only one of your relatives left, and my father's situation is not known, and Jinxiu doesn't want to stay here anymore!" ”
Su Liuyin slowly put away the chess pieces on the chessboard, re-arranged, and said, "I know what you are bothered by, it turns out that it is because of Miss Splendid Beauty, what do you think, I will not force you to do what you don't like!" ”
He hurriedly grabbed the woman's hand and said excitedly, "Sister Yin'er, what you said is true?" ”
Su Liuyin held his hand and said calmly: "You are also the only relative left by my side, what do you want to do, I will naturally support you!" ”
"Sister Yin'er, I have discussed with Jinxiu and want to go back with you!"
Su Liuyin stood up and walked to the window, but did not answer him.
Seeing that it was getting late, there were seasonal snacks squatting in the corner under the wall, baking the stove, she could only hear that they had a match or a match, and they were talking about who was more beautiful in this Fengyue place.
Su Liuyin turned around and lit a candle.
The young man asked, "Sister, what do you think, but you replied to me?" ”
She only replied: "Rong'er, you forgot, you still have a relative, tomorrow the two of you will set off to your father's place!" Just go ahead and I'll take care of it!" ”
"No, I'm not going, Sister Yin'er, don't embarrass me, you need a close person by your side as a woman, I'm relieved!"
Facing the young man's worried look, she diverted the topic and said: "This snow is just melting, we have to treat the guests well, it is not easy to get to today, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the road slippery at night, you quickly order a few little people to light more lanterns at the door." ”
Shen Rong saw that he had no intention of replying to his question, so he reluctantly agreed to her and walked out the door.
