74 Mess up
In order to let Liu Mingke restrain himself from the precipice, Ye Congwei pulled a small abacus from the bottom of his heart.
Actually, she thought about being a matchmaker for her cousin.
did this Princess Yu, was not killed, was not disgusted by Qi Su, and finally got some substantial benefits.
She has power in her hands, and she has also earned some fame for the Chengtai Marquis Mansion, although the idle king is absurd, and she has no good reputation, but she is also a relative of the emperor.
Liu Mingke is Ye Congwei's distant cousin, and from the old lady's side, the blood relationship has faded.
And the Liu family is a merchant, she didn't think about finding her any high-ranking disciples, the door is not right, and it is also a crime to enter.
Ye Congwei wants to find a reliable military general in the capital, and the position does not need to be too high, as long as it is someone under Qi Su's hands.
In the future, Qi Su was called the emperor, and the people in his hands followed the chicken dog to heaven, and won his trust, and there was a chance to glorify the ancestors.
But...... The difficulty in this matter is that Ye Congwei is not easy to speak.
The Liu family is a distant relative, and when the daughters of other families marry, it is not her turn to point fingers, and the old lady above has not spoken.
If Qi Su is not the idle king, maybe there are still people who ask Ye Congwei to come here and do something convenient.
It's a pity that Qi Suming has no power and no power on his face, who will put Princess Yu in his eyes, and this weight will be lighter.
Ye Congwei hesitated, not only because it was not easy to do, but also because he was afraid that he would hurt Liu Mingke by meddling in his affairs.
I want to leave people in the capital to accompany me, and at the same time think about the rest of her life, but what if she dies a year or two later?
If Liu Mingke becomes an official wife, she may not be happy, she may not adapt, if Ye Congwei is in the capital to take care of her, it will be much better.
Ye Congwei didn't dare to follow his own selfishness, it is not known whether he can pass the hurdle of a short life, beware of doing bad things with good intentions.
People are at ease in Yangzhou, and they can do business and go to the streets, so why bother to be a bird in the Sifang Courtyard?
Ye Congwei thought about it again, but didn't bring it up in the end.
*********
The next day, they took Liu Mingke, the two wore hats, and accompanied by several maids, walked into the bustling streets of the capital.
This is a rare experience for Ye Congwei, stepping on the blue brick road with both feet, and really blending into the lively crowd.
In the past, they were all passing by in a hurry, taking a carriage or a soft sedan chair, how could they walk slowly like this.
Turning a street corner, there was a sound of blowing and beating suona in the distance, and there was a crowd of people there.
Adults and children gather around to watch the lively candy, a harmonious phenomenon.
"Recently, it was an auspicious day, and we also met someone to do a happy event on the day we entered Beijing." Liu Mingke watched from afar.
Ye Congwei knew the reason, but it was hard to say.
The emperor's dragon body was unfavorable, and he fell ill several times in a year, and this time it was even more serious than before.
The state-owned prince is in Da'an, but once the saint dies, the whole country mourns, and he is forbidden to marry for one year and to be happy for three years.
This is what the people are guarding against.
It's okay for children to drag on for a year, but I'm afraid that I will miss a good marriage, even if I can get married after a year, I can't make a big deal, and I will suffer this lifelong event for a lifetime, and I don't regret it in retrospect.
That's why I rushed to get the happy event done early.
No one can predict how long the emperor will be able to delay, just in case.
When the road met a happy event, several people entered the teahouse on the side to rest, and Ye Congwei asked Si Ju to go back with some candy and be happy.
Liu Mingke took off her hat and asked Ye Congwei what suitable and interesting gadgets she could buy, brought them to the old lady of the Hou Mansion, and coaxed her to be happy.
Ye Congwei, who has the friendship of a landlord, was asked, and said helplessly: "I'm not familiar with the new things on the street." ”
How could she have the opportunity to go out, even a few little maids around her, only occasionally came out to buy a rouge head flower.
Liu Mingke wrinkled her nose: "I live with my cousin, and if I go back empty-handed, I will definitely be scolded." ”
"What's this," Ye Congwei said with a smile: "Grandmother has always loved juniors, and she doesn't care about these false courtesies, but now she is recuperating from illness and needs to avoid food, and she can't buy food." ”
"Always talk about your heart."
"It's all trivial," Ye Congwei looked worried at her, and couldn't help asking: "Uncle has a loud voice, and he looks like an informal ......."
"It's not my grandfather," Liu Mingke waved her hand, slightly embarrassed, "My father likes to find a way to discipline me." ”
Ye Congwei understood when he heard this: "It must be that you are not well-behaved and annoyed your cousin." ”
If she was replaced and dared to refuse the family affairs arranged by the elders, her mother would be able to press her to the ancestral hall to teach her a lesson.
"Cousin, let me go." Liu Mingke had a headache and held her forehead.
Ye Congwei pursed her lips and smiled, after all, she still thought about it and got a novel gift for her cousin.
Si Zhu, who was pouring tea next to him, interjected: "The slave knows a shop that specializes in selling rare and interesting things, can the girl go and take a look?" ”
Ye Congwei heard it very well, "Since you have a direction, let's go." ”
********
After drinking tea and resting, he put on his hat again, and asked Si Zhu to lead the way in front.
The shop she said was on the next street, divided into two floors, and she stood at the door and looked inside, which was quite magnificent.
"Many nobles like to patronize here, and it is best to buy them back or enjoy them or give them away." Si Zhu explained.
Ye Congwei nodded, and entered with Liu Mingke, and when the young man saw several maids accompanying them, he knew that the distinguished guests came to the door, and hurriedly greeted them warmly.
As Si Zhu said, there are indeed a lot of interesting objects here, and they are expensive.
Liu Mingke has nothing else, but a lot of silver.
The Liu family has been in Yangzhou City for more than 100 years, and the business is booming, and there are relatives in the Hou Mansion in the capital, who doesn't give a few thin noodles?
Ye Congwei doesn't have to save for her, just pick good things.
At a glance, she took a fancy to a set of small screen ornaments, layered on top of each other, with a lot of things inside.
I don't know what kind of wood carving, the texture is small and delicate, faintly fragrant.
The young man was very eye-catching, and when he saw that Ye Congwei was intentional, he showed it to her diligently.
"Girl, look carefully~"
Every time a screen is opened, a smaller one is exposed.
Each layer depicts a different theme, and the wood used is also different, and the layers are opened, making people overwhelmed and full of surprises.
Until all the screens were opened, and the innermost one was a black pearl.
Pearls of this color are rare and not loved by young people, as thick as ink, but with a delicate luster.
Black pearl is said to be the most painful tear of the mother's oyster, which has been refined through hardship.
Ye Congwei didn't know about it, and she didn't own a black pearl, but her grandmother shouldn't hate it.
It looks beautiful, and with a screen kit, it's obviously good to play with on a table.
Ye Congwei turned around and wanted to ask Liu Mingke's opinion.
At this time, Liu Mingke's maid Fu'er suddenly exclaimed: "Miss? Miss, where are you going?! ”
Ye Congwei turned around and saw Fu'er hurriedly running out.
She was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”
"This ......" Si Mei lifted the hem of her skirt and chased after her: "My cousin ran away, I'll follow Fu'er to take a look!" ”
"Run, run??!"
Ye Congwei was confused, she was looking at the screen ornaments intently just now, and she didn't know what was going on.
"Girl, don't panic," Si Lan helped her to the door and explained, "The cousin girl was fine just now, and suddenly she seemed to see someone, so she pulled her legs and ran away. ”
There are many of them, but they are looking around in the store.
Liu Mingke ran suddenly, and she couldn't react for a while, so Fu'er caught up.
Ye Congwei was surprised and angry in his heart: "What is this called!" ”
How can anyone run away like this, and don't say hello, how dangerous.
If Liu Mingke is lost, how can it be good if he is unfamiliar with life in this vast capital?
I didn't have the heart to buy anything, so Ye Congwei and the others walked briskly in the direction where Fu'er ran.
Not far after I walked out, I saw Si Mei and Fu'er.
Ye Congwei hurriedly asked, "Who did your girl see?" ”
Fu'er didn't keep up with Liu Mingke, she cried and shook her head at this time: "I don't know either......"
"How could you not know!" Si Mei frowned.
Fu'er was about to cry: "There are so many people passing by on the street, I haven't seen anything familiar." ”
It stands to reason that she should also know the people Liu Mingke knows.
Ye Congwei looked at it, this street was bustling with business, passers-by were bustling, and there was a shadow of Liu Mingke.
She was annoyed in her heart: "When you find someone, you have to teach her a good lesson!" ”
No wonder my cousin is not at ease, Liu Mingke is too willful and bold in doing this! Even at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it cannot ensure the safety of the girl's family alone.
What's even more annoying is that Ye Congwei walked all over the street with a few maids, but he couldn't find anyone!
Fu'er cried when she wowed, whimpering and giving Ye Congwei a headache.
Si Zhu hurriedly relieved: "Don't worry, girl, Miss Biao is not lost." ”
"Isn't it worse, I'd rather she was lost!" Ye Congwei's heart was congested for a while, if the Hou Mansion knew, he would have to peel off a layer of skin.
She thought for a moment and said, "Go home." ”
Now I can only ask Qi Su for help first, arrest Liu Mingke back as soon as possible, and if you can, suppress this matter.
Fu Liuquin was very curious, under what circumstances could a good girl run away stupidly.
********
Back at Yuwang's Mansion, Liu Mingke really didn't come back.
Ye Congwei walked fast, sweating behind his back, and seeing the repeated questions, Qi Su went out and did not return.
"The princess has something important?" Repeatedly looked at her differently.
Ye Congwei sighed: "Do you know where the prince has gone?" ”
I didn't know, scratched my ears and said, "Today is An Yan and Chang Fu who followed." ”
He paused and asked, "The princess is in a hurry, why don't I go to Beppu to find out?" ”
"Which ones does the prince often come to?" Ye Congwei tilted his head, there is still Cui Mansion here, right?
"Yes." Repeatedly, he nodded.
Ye Congwei waved his hand and refused: "Forget it, you can't make such a big fanfare." ”
Looking for Qi Su everywhere, it alarmed those mansions, and people thought there was something big.
What's more, Ye Congwei has never found anyone, she doesn't know where Qi Su is most likely to be, I'm afraid she will pounce.
It's better to use this effort to find someone and go to Liu Mingke.
Looking at the idle Chu in front of him, isn't it just right to catch the strong man.
Repeat Chu and An Yan are close friends who live together, they have kung fu in their bodies, and their ability to do things is needless to say.
Ye Congwei asked him if he could arrange manpower and go out to find people in a low-key manner, so as not to make everyone known.
Suddenly, an errand fell from the sky, and there was no reason not to accept it repeatedly, but it was just ......
"The little one hasn't seen Miss Biao, do you have any recognizable characteristics?"
Ye Congwei can't say that there are any obvious features, who doesn't have two eyes and one mouth, all she can provide is the color of Liu Mingke's clothes today, and there is nothing else.
