"After the closure of Chigu Pavilion Layue, the shopkeeper, the account office, and the guys returned to either the southern city or the northern city." The subordinate replied carefully: "I haven't seen anyone go in and out of Zhumenfang, and no one has ever had contact with the Nian family. The guy gave a New Year's gift to the accountant, and the accountant gave the shopkeeper a New Year's gift, but the shopkeeper didn't send a New Year's gift again.

As for the source of goods in Chigu Pavilion, the earliest batch did come from the eastern suburbs. Which specific family is the flowers and plants, because when the Kong division started the secret investigation, it was already after the opening of the Chigu Pavilion, and his subordinates were incompetent and could not find out the source. The later source of goods was in addition to a few Huangzhuang in the eastern suburbs, as well as a few ordinary farmhouses in the suburbs of Beijing. ”

The south city is a civilian area, and the north city is a mixed slum area.

The imperial village that supplies raw materials will naturally not be the imperial village under the name of the princess's mansion or Nian Qian'an, but several imperial villages directly under the palace and belonging to the powerful.

The people who take care of the Huangzhuang everywhere are just subordinates, and there is money to be made, as long as they do not break the law and do not endanger the interests of the master, who will push it out?

The farmers in the suburbs of Beijing were the ones who let go of the ancient pavilion after Wang Qiang got rid of it, and Nian Qian'an asked Nian's mother and son to break up the flowers and seedlings originally planted in his own grange in batches and quietly transferred them.

Those farmers don't know the exact sellers, even if they know that someone is secretly investigating, they won't talk nonsense, who will cut off their own money?

That's the benefit of getting a head start.

Kong Zhen missed the best opportunity, and all his subordinates found were superficial things, and the conclusion remained unchanged, "Don't talk about the eldest girl, even the rest of the Nian family, and they have never had dealings with the people of Chigu Pavilion." The big shopkeeper has done things for many people, but the original owner really has nothing to do with the Nian family. In the opinion of his subordinates, it should have nothing to do with the eldest girl. ”

Kong Zhen nodded noncommittally and asked his subordinates, "Who owns several imperial villages?" ”

In addition to the palace directly under the palace, the remaining one is the palace of Prince Kang, and two are the palace of Prince Rui.

It has something to do with the emperor's only two remaining imperial uncles.

Kong Zhen's eyebrows twisted, and he groaned: "Withdraw the people who stayed in the eastern suburbs, and send them to keep an eye on the farmers in the suburbs of Beijing." ”

That's what it means to keep checking.

His subordinates couldn't help but be puzzled, and couldn't understand why Kong Zhen was so interested in Chi Gu Pavilion, and then listened to Kong Zhen's instructions: "Whether it's old or new, find a way to get the recipe of Chi Gu Pavilion." It's better to be slow in this matter, but also to be meticulous and secretive, and not to startle the snake. ”

If the owner behind it is really related to the palace and the clan, he would rather spend more time and be more cautious and careful.

He has the label of the Wei family on his body, and he does not want to cause trouble for the Wei family because of his own selfish and private affairs.

When his subordinates heard this, they became more and more surprised, and couldn't help but raise their eyes to look at Kong Zhen.

Kong Zhen had no intention of solving the puzzle and could not explain it.

Chigu Pavilion has sprung up, whether it is the foundation of his life or the number of ways to do business, it seems that he has seen another Naixiang Pavilion that he and Wei Ming'an joined forces to build back then.

He realized it later, went to visit in private, took Chi Gu Pavilion's fat powder balm to ask the lady in charge of Nai Xiang Pavilion, and the lady in charge replied conservatively, only saying that there are countless peers in Beijing, and the things sold are actually the same, the difference is nothing more than the materials and proportions on the secret recipes of each family.

The lady in charge was confident, and assured him again and again that the secret recipe left by Wei Ming'an before his death was kept tightly, and there would be no shortage of new products in three or five years, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

What the lady in charge cares about is the business of Naika Pavilion, but what he cares about is the person who prepares the formula of Chi Gu Pavilion.

If it has nothing to do with Wei Ming'an's thoughts, who will it have to do with it?

He couldn't let go of that.

He has always trusted his instincts.

Kong Zhen's hand behind his back slowly clenched into a fist, at first he would pay attention to his home, because of who and what?

The figure that flashed in my mind changed from vague to clear - I read the six girls, and I read the shallow peace.

The brief confrontation when the funeral was out of the city, and the conflict of words and deeds outside the Wei family in the eastern suburbs alternately crossed his mind quickly.

Kong Zhen's pupils shrank, first disgusted and then confused, his body and mind shook suddenly, and he had already blurted out in his mouth: "Secretly staring at Nian Sixth Girl." You personally stared. ”

The subordinates should be right, and they had to be reminded: "If you bump into the people of the Six Princes again......"

A word again made Kong Zhen smile silently.

Looking back now, when he secretly investigated Qian'an due to the conflict in the eastern suburbs, most of the masked black-clothed people he bumped into outside the princess's mansion in the middle of the night were either from the Six Princes or the Six Princes themselves.

It's no wonder that the two things related to Nian Qian'an are indispensable to the shadow of that "Liu Shuen".

Combined with the rumors before and after Yizhi's marriage, what else is unclear?

It's no wonder that Wei Mingzhong said that Nian Qian'an has a bad reputation, and how can Nian Qian'an's behavior not make him disgusted?

The confusion in Kong Zhen's eyes decreased slightly, and the corners of his mouth were coldly hooked, "If you bump into it, avoid it." There is no hurry to stare at the matter of the sixth girl. You should be careful and slow down, and don't alarm the people you shouldn't be alarming. ”

Since the teacher chose to lean towards the four princes, sooner or later he would have to face the six princes.

Regardless of whether staring at Nian Qian'an can stare at the result he wants, Nian Qian'an is the established sixth princess, and it will not be useless for him to keep an extra hand.

The subordinates got the right words, and naturally there was no objection to the obstruction, so they were busy receiving the order, clenching their fists, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared silently in the wind and snow.

Kong Zhen quietly glanced at the gate of Nian's house, raised his feet and just left Nianjia's street, and saw a figure coming straight towards him in the wind and snow, and complained affectionately: "Ah Zhen, Gongzi! You're really a little easy to find! ”

He was a first-class henchman beside Wei Wuxie, and he was also decent in front of Kong Zhen, so when he got closer, he raised his hand to pat the snow on Kong Zhen's head and shoulders, and muttered first, "What are you busy with?" Falling all over the face of ice and snow, I don't care about my body like this! Mrs. Hui should be distressed again! ”

Then he looked straight, and then said: "Madame was served by the eldest young grandmother and the second young grandmother to retire first, and was on her way out of the palace. The news that the master just sent out asked the little one to find you to pick up the lady outside the palace, escort the lady and the two young grandmothers back to the house, and ask you to stay for a while to help sit in the house. ”

Kong Zhen's soft face revealed surprise in an instant, "What happened in the palace?" ”

"It's both good and bad." Chang Sui won Wei Wuxie's true biography, and pulled his chin and short beard and smiled meaningfully, "A courtier mentioned the words of Lichu, and at this time, Taihe Hall is arguing, and it is very lively!" The old man and the three sons couldn't get out for a while, so they only sent a message to the Jiaotai Palace, so that the ladies and young grandmothers avoided the limelight. ”

No wonder he was asked to escort him to the town, Wei Xiang is the emperor's most favored Wei Xiang, and it is difficult to keep people from pestering Chen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for such a big matter.

Kong Zhen raised his eyebrows while speeding up his pace, "I guess, if the teacher is asked by the emperor on his face, he must not be mentioning the fourth prince." ”

He changed his coldness just now, and Chang Sui also raised his eyebrows and said, "You really guess a good one!" The emperor is the heir to the orthodox throne, and the lord has always been loyal to the emperor, and of course he supports the orthodoxy. The emperor asked the lord what he meant, and the lord did not mention the four princes, but naturally only the six princes. ”

Someone first proposed to establish a successor, so as to lead to the controversy of establishing a long and virtuous person, right?

The emperor himself is the successor of his son-in-law, and he can't treat his son-in-law as nothing, whether he likes his son-in-law or not, he can't slap himself in the face.

Who in the court does not know that Wei Xiang is equivalent to the emperor's mouthpiece, and Wei Xiang first proposed to establish a successor, which is reasonable and reasonable, and also saves the emperor's face, saving the emperor from bothering to speak.

It's just a scene, which smart person will be more serious?

What's more, if there is no controversy, how can it be concluded?

Just take this opportunity to see which people support which prince.

Kong Zhen and Chang Sui looked at each other, stopped talking, left Zhumenfang in silence and went straight to the palace gate, and after meeting Chen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law according to Wei Wuxian's explanation, they went back to Zhumenfang.

The banquet in the palace has not been dispersed, and the Taihe Hall is hotly discussing the candidate for the prince, and it will soon spread into the Jiaotai Palace, which is not far away, which will inevitably cause a fluctuation of people's hearts one after another.

After leaving Wei Xiang's family, there were also many high-ranking officials and female dependents here, and the atmosphere inevitably flowed with different meanings between the staggered communication and walking.

Far from the hustle and bustle, the Wanshou Palace is still filled with a strong Chinese New Year's Eve festive atmosphere.

Xiao Dou Qing and Xiao Dou Hua stopped outside the door of the back garden that had been cleaned up a long time ago, and after seeing Nian Qian'an go away, they pointed out the garden layout and chatted, and tacitly stayed in place to let the wind go.

Nian Qian'an divided the flowers and brushed the willows all the way, and according to the instructions left by Chen Bao, he found Chu Yanqing in the octagonal pavilion under the plane tree.

She first glanced at the plane tree that she hadn't seen for a long time, and then went to see Chu Yanqing, who was standing tall and jade between the hanging curtains of the pavilion, "Little cousin, I have a New Year's greeting to you!" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his paw and hooked it, and his eyes bent into the shape of a yuan treasure with a smile, "Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope!" ”

"When I ask for money, I call my little cousin, so white that I am not satisfied with the 40,000 taels of silver tickets?" Chu Yanqing reached out and knocked down Nian Qian'an's claws stretched out in front of him, caught it in his hand, and gently pulled Nian Qian'an to his side, lowered his head and lowered his face, as if he was very disgusted and angry, "Stupid rabbit who is greedy for food and money!" Isn't this called Shuen anymore? ”

Belch!

What an ambiguous posture this!

Fake serious little male ticket, this behavior is so domineering and princely style!

Nian Qian'an shook the girl's heart and rubbed it against Chu Yanqing's chest, and said with a super thick face: "How can you have 40,000 taels for nothing?" Although my mother returned the silver ticket to me, she still had to keep it for the expenses of Chigu Pavilion. I don't have any public money for private use. The Queen Mother, my father and mother, and the concubines, all the elders who love me have given me New Year's money. I'll call you a little cousin, you just say that it hurts me or not, don't give me New Year's money! ”

"Do you think I hurt you?" Chu Yanqing continued with his mouth, and after speaking, the roots of his ears turned red after realizing it, half laughing and half helplessly tightening his palms, and pinching Nian Qian'an's paws lightly and heavily, "But if you enter the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve, in which year did I not give you the New Year's money?" Now turn your face and don't admit it? ”

Didn't the original body take the New Year's money given by Chu Yanqing?

With a short hand, can the original body still have a discord with Chu Yanqing for so many years?

Chu Yanqing's emotional intelligence is worrying, and the original body is indeed a brain in water.

Nian Qian'an slandered in his heart, smiled dryly, and willingly took the blame for the original body, "If I give it this year, I will admit it!" ”

Chu Yanqing let go and hung on him again, "Stupid rabbit, don't be a bird, take it." ”

He took out a red envelope and threw it to Nian Qian'an, his expression seemed to be even more disgusted.

Scold!

Romance or something, it really doesn't exist.

Nian Qian'an opened the red envelope with an indifferent face, and was instantly blinded by a bag full of good-looking and heavy gold and silver bills, and suddenly couldn't stand it, and a smiling face was sweet and soft, "Little cousin loves me the most!" Shuen is the best! ”

Chu Yanqing was so angry by her changing titles that she changed back and forth, Jun stared with a slightly red face, "I know in my heart that I don't hurt you, you don't have to say it." ”

It sounds a little ...... Shame.

Nian Qian'an had a sad expression on her face, "Young man, you are not alone": She pretends to be tender and coquettish, and she feels very ashamed!

Against the cold wind and ice and snow behind her, a royal sister's heart trembled, and she decisively said yes, "Don't pestle here, it's so cold." ”

Chu Yanqing led her into the pavilion, and while covering the curtains, she frowned and said, "Why did Chen Bao choose such a big piece for you?" ”

It's long and big, and it's quite airtight.

Nian Qian'an wrapped his arms tightly and sat down, and said of Chen Baolai, "Chen Neijian is a little strange when he speaks. ”
