Seeing that the four gentlemen and Yin's mother are fine, Mingyi is a lot more down-to-earth, and when the wind and rain are shaking, Chengwei Pavilion can always give them a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Zhujun hesitated a little, and stopped talking, but Mingyi found out and let him have something to say.

It turns out that Yinniang has often talked to Zhujun in private recently, turning around, but Zhujun has tasted what she means, she is being a lobbyist for a guest, and she wants to charter Zhujun, and the price is expensive.

Zhujun bluntly refused on the spot, and Yinniang's face was not very good-looking.

Mingyi nodded: "It's a good refusal, you must not give her any expectations that she shouldn't have." If you step back a little, even if you go out with a guest, there will be countless undesirable demands after that. I have wronged you, and it has also damaged the entire Chengwei Pavilion. ”

Yin's mother responded: "Don't worry, with me for a day, I will never let her mess around." It's just that she's not like that stupid, so why would she do that? ”

"I'm afraid she knows that she can't control Chengwei Pavilion, the guests recognize the four gentlemen instead of her, from beginning to end, I'm afraid those guests don't recognize her as the master of Chengwei Pavilion." Mingyi remembered that he had come back to Chengwei Pavilion these few times, and there were few guests around Yinniang, as if there was a wall between him and the guests.

Yin's mother looked a little sarcastic: "Those ladies, even if they are from low backgrounds, don't look down on her." It's not about their background, they don't despise the bustards and shopkeepers who were born in the green buildings of each square and courtyard. It's something that I did in that capacity. The Chengwei Pavilion is all the masters, and no one looks down on the servant girls who betray their masters. This is the white-eyed wolf raised around me, it's disgusting to think about. ”

Ming Yi smiled: "I'm afraid this is only part of the reason. After all, she has no official background, although she is married to Chu Boyan and is considered a helper's wife, but this position in the rivers and lakes is not of much use in Chang'an. I finally have Wu Qianping's background, and I pulled Wei Shouyan and Princess Wanshou to stand on the platform for me, of course, I will receive the blue eyes of those ladies. ”

"If you can come back, we will be more assured. But even if I can't for the time being, don't worry, I'll protect them and nothing will go wrong. Yin's mother promised.

Ming Yi nodded vigorously: "Of course I believe in my mother, and my mother and Xiaolang also believe in me, keep this place well, and wait for me to come back." ”

Mingyi agreed with Yin's mother to come to Wufu early tomorrow morning to comb her hair. When he walked out of Chengwei Pavilion, Ming Yi had a feeling that Yinniang also knew very well that she would eventually lose Chengwei Pavilion, so she was so eager to let Zhujun pick up guests beyond the rules, in order to quickly get the benefits promised by the guests.

Yinniang didn't regard Chengwei Pavilion as her own place, and she didn't need to focus on Chengwei Pavilion. She is different from Mingyi, who runs Chengwei Pavilion because he wants to gain insight into the movements of the court from another channel to assist Wu Qianping. Originally, he wanted to rely on this to encircle the forces of the DPRK and China for the Shangguan gang, in order to show his strength in the rivers and lakes. But Yinniang didn't have the power. No, she forgot, behind Yinniang sometimes at the beginning.

But judging from Yinniang's current performance, it seems that Shi Chu did not interfere with her management of Chengwei Pavilion, nor did he teach her how to make good use of Chengwei Pavilion's resources. Maybe it's too late, and I've already gone to Shazhou at the beginning. Therefore, in Yinniang's heart, it is the most important thing to seize Chu Boyan and hold Chu Niangzi's private salt profits in her hands.

Mingyi is even more determined that he must contact Chu Niangzi as soon as possible to reach a new cooperation. Perhaps, this is also an opportunity for her to regain the Chengwei Pavilion.

The next stop, very close, is the workshop of Shijingfang, the old house of Xinchangfang. Separated by a wall, you need to go around.

At last there was a human voice, as if the ruined monument had suddenly been resurrected, so that she did not dare to push the door in, lest she see it full of devastation. Pushing open the door with trembling hands, time seemed to go backwards, familiar female workers, familiar labor scenes, if it weren't for the lack of one of the most familiar people, she really thought she was dreaming.

"Lady, are you coming to see us?" Kwai Niang came with a smile on her face.

The female workers also stopped what they were doing, and looked at it together, some were surprised, some were surprised, and some inevitably thought of the depression of Lianshan.

Mingyi grabbed Kui Niang: "I'll see if there's anything I can help with, and it's okay today." ”

"Shidong said that the lady will be a wedding banquet tomorrow, and she will attend with Lord Wu, there should be a lot to prepare, don't worry about us. But there's something I can do, just tell me. Kwai Niang said happily.

Qilang also greeted him: "Yes, don't be polite to us, the wedding banquet is a big deal, and we are very happy to be able to help." ”

Ming Yi smiled: "Everything is simple, I have already asked Mother Yin to help me comb my hair, and it is enough for Shidong to serve me." Do not delay what you are doing. Shichiro's rouge is still going well? ”

Shichiro turned around and took a box: "Please take a look at it, I followed the method that Lianshan had been using before, but I felt that something was missing." ”

Mingyi brought the rouge, it was Hu Meiren, the color looked very gorgeous, no different, a finger wipe, it was also smooth, applied to the back of the hand, it felt slightly astringent, and then smelled, the smell was a little strange, no floral fragrance.

"The taste is different, and it should be that the flowers selected are different from before. The touch is not delicate enough, and it should be that the lard used is boiled poorly. There are no other problems, which means that you are doing the right thing. Mingyi said.

Shichiro nodded: "I only watched Lianshan make these rouges, and I didn't know where he bought the raw materials, so I missed a thousand miles." ”

Ming Yi thought that if he wanted to adjust the raw materials used in this way, he would try them one by one, and it would indeed be possible to find the correct formula, but if he tried it like this, it would consume a lot of time, and secondly, so many workers would not be able to afford to wait in vain.

Kwai Niang reminded: "Brother Lianshan does things so carefully, will he leave any records, account books and the like." ”

Ming Yi suddenly said: "Yes, he buys raw materials at the end of the month to repay the debt, and there must be an account book." It may be written which family's roses and which family's peach blossoms. Have you found it here at the porter? ”

Shichiro shook his head: "I cleaned up the porter, and I didn't leave any account books." ”

Ming Yi looked at the main building: "Maybe it's in his study, I'll look for it." ”

Ascending to the second floor, Ming Yi felt that the memory of this place was very long. Especially the room where Feng Sihai's tablet is held, there is always a bit of an eerie atmosphere, although he knows that he has not passed away, but the feng shui bureau keeps pouring out a kind of wet malice, which makes Ming Yi shudder.

Next door is a period of time, Lianshan used as a study room for the study of rouge gouache, push the door in, dust flying. Obviously, he has only been gone for a month, but it seems to be several years, and he sighs indescribably.

From Lianshan's table, Ming Yi found an account book, although it was not carefully written, but all kinds of flower purchases were marked with surnames, so that it would no longer be like looking for a needle in the sea.

Ming Yi was about to walk away with the ledger, but a page of paper fell from the ledger, like a dead leaf butterfly, falling on the dust on the ground.
