Bai Fengxi tugged at the corners of her mouth, rolled her eyes and said unhappily: "The 'second master' is really tolerant and preferential to Sister Shen, why should I let my family Pengfei go to be her guard?" That year, I wanted to go back to my mother's house to live, but the 'second master' didn't allow me to leave the palace for half a step, so how could I easily allow her to do so? Aren't you afraid that she will use any more moths to come out? ”

"That year, you had sex with this king, and you wanted to go back to your mother's house, how could this king allow you to mess around?" Wen Xuan tugged at the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, however, the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.

"People are mourning for the nurse, all kindness and filial piety come first, this king doesn't want to be a villain, as for Pengfei, he has been drinking all day long, it is better to let him calm his mind in the Buddhist hall, it is also good for him."

In the early morning of the twenty-fourth day of the year, under the protection of Bai Pengfei and a team of guards, Ming Shen stayed at Jinbi Temple.

There was a little novice named Kongshan, who was busy with the residences of the people in Prince Duan's mansion, and the presiding abbot Huijing was afraid that Ming Shen was a female guest and a noble side concubine, so he personally placed her to live in a small courtyard behind the temple, isolated from the male guests in the wing room of the front hall.

Because it is almost the end of the year, so the temple seems to be particularly quiet and deserted, the courtyard behind the temple is quite elegant, there is a stream under the arched wooden bridge, there is a plum tree with a crooked backbone standing by the stream, the red plum trees that are as red as the glow are in full bloom one by one, and there are several simple and elegant Zen rooms, which really reflect the sentence of the Tang Dynasty poem, 'the winding path leads to the secluded place, and the Zen room is deep in flowers and trees'.

In the first three days of arriving here, Ming Shen bathed and fasted as usual every day, and stayed in the body yuan hall from dawn to dusk and chanted the "mantra of death", sincerely transcending the undead, during this time, except for the spirit rhino who can serve on the side, others are strictly forbidden to trespass.

Until the early morning of the twenty-seventh day of the year, Bai Pengfei was wrapped in an ivory white swasak wearing a plum tuanhua satin robe, covered with plain Hangzhou silk cranes, standing on the wooden bridge with a gloomy attitude, a cold north wind swept by, bright red petals hit his body like rain, some fell to the ground, and some spilled into the clear stream of ice Ling.

He looked down at the petals drifting in the stream, and his ears were surrounded by the clear and clear sound of the morning bell, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When he was young, he used to be very eager to live as boldly and freely as Li Taibai, and even thought that one day he would get tired of his officialdom career and resign from his official career, and travel the world with his confidante and swim among the green mountains and green waters.

But things in the world often backfire, since he and Jiang Yan fell in love, he jumped into the deceitful vanity fair without hesitation, on the one hand, he was deeply disgusted with the bloody struggle, and on the other hand, he was in danger step by step, just hoping to become famous as soon as possible and marry a beautiful woman in a wedding dress.

However, all these years of infatuation and waiting, as well as dedication and hard work, are all in vain like falling flowers floating in front of you at this moment.......

Just as he was reminiscing about the past, a sudden sound of a ring was approaching, interrupting his drifting thoughts.

Bai Pengfei raised his face with a slight vicissitudes of life and looked over, only to see Ming Shen walking towards the bridge step by step with the support of Caifeng and Lingxi.

Due to the dark sky, the surrounding scenery also looked gloomy, but she wore a white fox cloak with a big collar of hair, which was so thrilling that it was like a flaming plum blossom on the branches, reflecting each other into a beautiful scenery of snow and red plums.

Her long hair is not bundled, only a silk white ribbon is loosely tied behind her head, and there is no fat powder on her melon seed face, but she is still beautiful and beautiful, so that people dare not face it......

Ming Shen walked to Bai Pengfei's side, stared at the petals in the stream with a chuckle, and sighed meaningfully: "The falling flowers intentionally follow the flowing water, and the flowing water has no intention of falling in love with the falling flowers, the world only knows that the men in the world are lucky, but they don't know that sometimes the most fickle thing is the heart of the beauty!" ”

Bai Pengfei lowered his eyes gloomily, forcibly suppressed the sourness and pain in his heart, and smiled reluctantly at Ming Shen: "Concubine Niangniang is indeed quite fickle, why don't you go to the Tiyuan Hall to chant Buddha scriptures today, but have the intention to be sentimental here?"

Ming Shen sighed quietly, raised his sleeve and folded a branch of red plum in his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly: "It's not because everything in the temple is simple, it's really distressing, it's just a matter of food and clothing, it's just that it's just occasionally idle and boring, but I can't play the piano for fun, but I have let down these Ling Han blooming red plums in vain!" ”

Bai Pengfei sneered: "What's so difficult about this? Why don't you send someone down the mountain to buy a piano and come back? ”

"Those stupid people, where do they know what is good and what is defective? I wanted Caifeng to do it herself, but she was a lone woman, so I really didn't worry about her going down the mountain alone......"

Ming Shen pretended to be distressed and paused, and then stared at Bai Pengfei with round and clear eyes: "If Major General Bai is personally escorted by Ken Xuan, this concubine can rest assured." ”

"Since the side concubine Niangniang values the last general so much, then the last general has no choice but to be respectful and obey his fate." Bai Pengfei responded briskly.

Although his brother-in-law sent him to monitor Mingshen, it didn't hurt for him to leave for a while, the temples were heavily guarded, and it was difficult for anyone to fly, besides, there was no wine or meat in the temple for the past three days, and he couldn't hold back and wanted to go down the mountain to open meat, and he was addicted to alcohol.

"Then the side concubine will thank Major General Bai first!" Ming Shenzuo said with a smile, then left Caifeng, and walked to the front hall with Lingxi's hand.

Lingxi walked a few steps with a gloomy face, secretly glanced back at Bai Pengfei, and saw that he was talking and laughing with Caifeng, and he looked very close to each other, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart as if he had been stabbed into a cold blade - and it was the kind full of jealousy and unwilling venom!

———

After Ming Shen entered the Tiyuan Palace, he didn't care about Lingxi's expression at all, and hurriedly put Hongmei in front of the incense case, took off the cloak and Susu on his body, and handed it to her: "Lingxi, let's quickly change our clothes, your body is relatively similar to mine, chanting here in my pretending to be until I come back." You know? ”

Lingxi obediently took off the moon-white jacket and handed it to Ming Shen, and said sullenly: "Got it, Miss, don't worry, although Lingxi doesn't know what you're going to do, but I will definitely cover you well!" ”

"Good Lingxi, don't be careful, I won't tell you because this matter is too dangerous, you are not allowed to say anything about my outing, Caifeng is an unknown person, even she is not allowed to tell, you know?" While explaining, Ming Shen put the white fox cloak on her body and fastened the belt for her.

Lingxi couldn't put it down and stroked the wind collar of the fox fur cloak, but there was a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth: "Sister Caifeng is Miss's dowry maid, Miss is reluctant to implicate her in anything......"

"Don't say that, the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, you two are the same in my heart, the reason why I don't let you tell Caifeng is just because her mouth can't open the door, how can she be sensitive and delicate." Ming Shen said, after changing clothes, he picked up the red plum on the case and hurried out of the palace.

Lingxi pouted and snorted lightly, as if she didn't believe what Ming Shen said just now, although it was all the same, but in the end she still preferred Caifeng a little more, and if there was anything good, she thought of her first, such as this time, she could accompany Bai Gongzi to go shopping in the market, but she could only kneel here and knock on the wooden fish.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Three door knocks, Ming Shen quietly came to the door of a guest room in the side hall, and knocked lightly.

"Squeak", the door slowly opened a wide gap, revealing the head, is a young man in his twenties, tall but thin as wood, facial features are not particularly handsome, but between the eyebrows there is a heroic spirit, wrapped in green silk fabric, it looks extraordinary, like the son of a rich and noble family.

When the young man saw Ming Shen coming with a red plum in his hand, he was surprised and hesitated for a moment, and said, "Meet a noble person before the flower!" ”

"People are more delicate than flowers!" Ming Shen replied with a smile and handed Hongmei into his hands.

"Girl, please!" The young man made a gesture of invitation, his face was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that the person he was waiting for was actually a fifteen-year-old little girl.

Ming Shen quickly dodged into the room, and the young man looked around, then closed the door and bolted it with a bolt.

[Ya, no matter how this paragraph is modified, it feels like cheating, ahhh.......hhh The officials misunderstood, and they definitely didn't cheat]

"You are Du Yunfan, the manager of Yangzhou Commercial Bank?" The melodious voice of silver came through an ebony carved and embroidered screen, and the tone was mixed with a little curiosity and doubt.

Du Yunfan looked at the slender and seductive figure on the screen, with the same curiosity and questioning, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask what the girl is called?" What is the relationship between you and the eldest son? ”

Because Ming Shen is a daughter, she has been living behind the scenes, manipulating business by letters, and in order to prevent her identity from being exposed, she will hide her eyes and ears in the name of 'Shao Dongjia', so it is difficult for people inside Yangzhou Commercial Bank to think of 'Shao Dongjia' and a noble women's federation who is only fifteen years old.

On the other hand, Rong Lu, as an official of the imperial court, cannot blatantly do business for profit, so he relies very heavily on the steward Du Yunfan, Ming Shen has often heard his brother praise this person for his ability and old thinking, so he has always thought that this person should be a man who has passed the age of establishment, but he did not expect that he would be so young.

"You don't have to know what the relationship between me and the eldest prince is, you just need to recognize this thing."

Ming Shen changed into a set of luxurious men's clothes, walked out from behind the screen leisurely, and put a cold and shining platinum Jiaoyin finger ring on Du Yunfan's pink thumb in front of him.

Seeing this, Du Yunfan's face instantly became shocked, and he hurriedly bowed his hand: "The steward Du Yunfan has seen the young owner, if there is any offense just now, I hope that the young owner Haihan!" ”

"Get up." Ming Shen raised his hand slightly and asked, "Are all the things ordered by the eldest prince ready?"

Du Yunfan bowed his head and said respectfully: "Qiyu Shaodong, our people are waiting for you in Jinmanlou, and the batch of jewelry, calligraphy and paintings that are enough to mess with the truth are also stored there, and there is a special person to take care of them." ”

Jinmanlou ...... It's such an unfamiliar name, I don't know if there is such a No. 1 restaurant in Kyoto?

Isn't it...... Ming Shen's face suddenly turned red, and he reprimanded: "Bold, where is it not good to make an appointment, why don't you make an appointment in the Qinglou?" ”

"Ahem!" Du Yunfan put his hand on his chin, held back his smile, and patiently explained: "Shaodong's family is angry, you are a daughter's family, so I don't know, most of us men talk about business, most of them are in the brothel of Qinglou, and Jin Manlou is the property of the Jin family, if we don't live with him, he is still worried that we will run away with his silver?" ”
