Chapter 45: A once-in-a-century snow disaster
After Feng Huanling finished explaining, Yushu just nodded and said yes and didn't ask much, but he was a little puzzled in his heart.
Nancheng has always been a gathering place for dignitaries and eunuchs, and some wealthy families have sharpened their heads to walk around in Nancheng, so the non-drunk building known as the world's first is built here.
However, the northern land is mostly poor, although the poor people at the foot of the Son of Heaven are also relatively rich, but there is still a huge difference between them and the people who are not drunk in the building.
Also, the signature wines of the non-drunk building are all self-brewed, but the hall will sell some relatively cheap Fengsheng winery wines, and suddenly triple the demand just to supply the northern city that has not yet started, is it too risky? Even if the Zephyr workshop can be completed on schedule, the new store opening may not be so prosperous, right?
In the blink of an eye, Yushu suddenly thought that these two shops were all under the name of the Feng family, and immediately realized that he looked at the master with a little more suspicion.
The princess was not welcomed in the Prime Minister's Mansion She saw it with her own eyes, and it stands to reason that she would not arrange it in order to increase the income of such a mother's family, so why did she do this?
"The prince is not here, I may have to worry more about the affairs of the house, so I will leave the affairs of the shop to you to watch. Remember, the restaurant in Beicheng must be built properly before the winter of the next year, whether it is Fengsheng Winery or Hefeng Workshop, it must be delivered and completed before the settlement of the silver taels. If the two of them want to borrow money from Guiyi Money Bank due to the lack of capital turnover, or take things to Ronghai as collateral, they will all agree, but they will also make a request for double compensation if they cannot repay the money on time. ”
Listening to Feng Huanling talk about this, Yushu finally faintly guessed some of the master's intentions, and the corners of his cold mouth quietly hooked up a faintly invisible smile, and he bowed his head very respectfully and answered "yes".
The end of the year is approaching, and both noble and lowly families have to consume more money than usual, for the annual festival to beg for an auspicious and lively, especially in the harem, just to reward the palace people with silver is a lot of money.
Although Feng Qingwan is already a concubine, even her own monthly monthly salary is not enough, so the main source of funds is her mother's family.
On weekdays, it is enough to arrange for someone to bring in the required silver taels from outside the palace, but this time, Mo Shi took advantage of the convenience of allowing him to enter the palace to visit the palace before the year, and personally sent the silver ticket in.
After sending all the palace people around him out, Feng Qingwan said bluntly: "Mother entered the palace this time, but there is something to discuss with the palace?" ”
Mo nodded excitedly: "The winery and the workshop have recently taken over a big business, although it is inevitable to press some capital, but after the completion of the matter, you can make a lot of money." ”
"Really?" Although Feng Qingwan has never been in business, she is very clear about the sinister hearts of people, so she is not as easily tempted as Mo Shi, "Now you can be more careful in this world, where is the silver so easy to earn?" ”
"Don't worry, it's a non-drunk building that has been in the past. You also know that it is the first floor in the world, and there will be no fakes. ”
Hearing that Mo Shi said that the cooperation was not drunk, Feng Qingwan also dispelled her doubts, and then said: "Mother should be more careful when she meets with Shopkeeper Mo in the future, since Aunt Su died, my father seems to have more suspicions for my mother, if I expose the matter of the commission again, I am afraid that I will ......."
Mo nodded and said: "This is the mother naturally understands, don't worry, the fourth girl has never mentioned that incident until now, I think I must have not guessed the reason why I met Mo Cheng, but my mother will still be more careful." ”
Since meeting with the shopkeeper of Fengsheng Winery and being bumped into by Feng Huanling, Mo's has been more careful, not only extending the monthly commission to one season, but also choosing a safer place outside the mansion to meet with the cousin.
"The second sister also asked for money from the family, right?"
Naturally, she is not the only concubine in the palace, Feng Huanbing has been promoted one after another in a short period of time, and there are only more people who want to please Feng Qingwan than Feng Qingwan, and Zhaorong's moon is even more insufficient.
"That cheap girl will naturally want it, but after all, the distribution of silver taels in the house is still in charge of me, the head of the house, although I can't not give nothing, but it is impossible to provide enough for her. For her mother, she said that at the end of the year, the expenses in the house were also large, so she only took a hundred taels of silver to her, and a concubine died of her mother, where do you dare to say anything? ”
Thinking that Feng Huanbing was overstretched for this, Mo couldn't help but feel comfortable, and even the beauty mole on the corner of his mouth looked even more public.
"Well, then she will count on the Cheyue Palace."
Thinking of Long Yucang and Feng Huanling, Feng Qingwan couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but feel jealousy and disgust.
Feng Yurun is the only seedling of the Feng family, she is thousands of miles away from home in the Flower God Kingdom, and it is unknown whether she can come back in the future, how can she not hate these two culprits!
"How does the Cheyue Mansion compare to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Even if they are relatives of the emperor, who doesn't know that King Cheyue is dedicated to the Tao, and he doesn't have any private income at all, and he is completely dependent on the prince's money to maintain it, even if there is still money left over for Feng Huanbing, the amount is limited. ”
Feng Qingwan also knew that what Mo Shi said was true, even she had never heard that King Cheyue had any other private property in addition to the prince's wealth, even if the income was enough to support a royal mansion, it was impossible to have too much surplus.
The fact seems to be as expected by Mo Shi and Feng Qingwan, the rewards of the palace ladies and little masters in the month before the New Year, Feng Huanbing, who is a second-grade Zhaorong, is not as much as a few Jieyu and beauties with good family backgrounds, which has caused many palace people in the palace to complain.
Some of them were even more daring, and directly compared the generous Guan Guifei with Feng Zhaorong, saying that they were also born in the Prime Minister's Mansion and had the same surname Feng, but it was just a difference between the concubines and the concubines.
It is said that the Queen Mother didn't even raise her eyelids and said to the grandmother beside her: "After all, she is a cheap breed, obviously from the Prime Minister's Mansion but so small, she is not even willing to reward the palace people, and even the mourning family feels ashamed of her!" ”
Similarly, naturally some people reported this matter to Emperor Xuan, Long Jingming only smiled, and even deliberately turned over Feng Zhaorong's sign that night, so that people couldn't see through what the intention was.
Shenlong Kingdom Palace, Long'an Palace.
The night was as cold as water, and there was no light of stars and moon this night, just because the snow in Dragon City was still falling.
It was already a moment, but Long Jingming was still alone in the Wolong Palace, where all the palace people had retreated, wearing only bright yellow thin bedclothes, but standing in front of the half-open window, looking at the equally empty courtyard outside the house.
Obviously, he saw that the night was dark and the wind was high and dark, but his eyes, which were dark and cold in the dark night, seemed to have pierced this ink-stained darkness and looked into a more far-reaching place.
"Master, my subordinates have found out the whereabouts of Yan Yunfei's old friend Xiao Yan, and there is no doubt that the Flying Dragon Order will be fixed on him."
If he didn't make a sound, the man in black who was almost about to merge with the dark night knelt out of the window at some point, and there was no popularity around him except for the shadows of flowers and trees.
"Xiao Yan? That martial arts alliance leader Xiao Yan? ”
Long Jingming's star-like eyes narrowed slightly, and the chilling aura that burst out in an instant made the black-clothed man who was as fierce as murder and not afraid of death feel a chill down his spine in an instant.
"Yes, but the subordinates are confident that they will be able to capture him back!"
The Hidden Dragon Guard is a team of killers and dead soldiers cultivated when Long Jingming was still the fourth prince, there is no difference between the emperor and the poor in his eyes, he only recognizes him as the master, unless he is ordered by the master, he will always be hidden in the dark and no one can watch, and when someone can see their figures appear, it is like seeing the Grim Reaper coming, and can only wait to bear their merciless killing.
"Okay, whether the Flying Dragon Order is on him or not, he must capture this person alive for me!"
For the Flying Dragon Order, Long Jingming is bound to win, because only by getting the Flying Dragon Order and completely taking charge of the power of mobilizing the Flying Dragon Army, can he firmly hold the country in the palm of his hand, and can he make himself stronger, strong enough to kill all the dissidents in the world, and become the only king of the Guiyuan Continent!
"King Cheyue has already escorted the envoys of the Flower God Kingdom to the west, and when you get back the Flying Dragon Order, I will still see the head of Long Yucang."
Long Jingming's voice was so low that it seemed to come from the bottomless abyss of the eternal cold, so cold that there was no trace of warmth, and even the shadow cast on the ground revealed the fierceness of the Hell Demon King, which was daunting.
"Subordinates obey."
The Hidden Dragon Guard, who led the order away, disappeared without a trace as it came, as if it was just an ethereal and invisible lonely soul of the evening breeze.
But Long Jingming was still standing in front of the window of the dormitory, looking at the unsatisfactory waning moon in the night sky, thinking of the King Cheyue who made him more vigilant the more he was tempted, and the Princess Cheyue who always made him feel strange in his heart, and was inexplicably attracted by just a wisp of plausible dark incense.
Xu is because his background is too lowly and he gets too few things, he likes to rob other people's things since he was a child, especially the things that he likes to rob Long Yucang, who is only two years older than him, but wants to be respected as the emperor's uncle!
At the beginning, he would have taken a fancy to Yan Wushuang, not only because she was Yan Yunfei and Huo Yan's favorite concubine, but also because he accidentally learned from the monitoring report of the Hidden Dragon Guard that there was a portrait of Miss Yan in the hands of King Cheyue, who had always been cold and lonely.
The fashionable and young King Cheyue was already world-famous for his indifference, so he would hide a portrait of a woman, which naturally made him curious.
That's why he began to pay more and more attention to Yan Wushuang, and as he got in touch with her, the more he found himself almost uncontrollably attracted to her, and finally he decided not to marry her in this life.
However, the portrait in Long Yucang's hand was finally deposited into a knot in Long Jingming's heart. Even if it was just at his enthronement ceremony, when he saw her glance at the imperial uncle, he felt jealous and jealous.
Until he found out that the Yan family had fornicated with Huofeng Kingdom, and found out that her family had betrayed him!
What he hated most in his life was betrayal, especially the betrayal he felt that he trusted someone close to him couldn't accept it, so he didn't hesitate to destroy the nine clans of the Yan family!
However, if she was willing to confess the Flying Dragon Order at that time, if she was willing to give up even her family and only choose to be with him, he might really let her live, King Cheyue and Su Dianke sent the envoys of the Flower God Kingdom to leave Beijing, and it snowed again in Dragon City.
At first, it was just a light snow, and although it rained for a few days, no one paid much attention to it at first. Until the light snow turned into goose feather snow, and the sky seemed to leak, the snow still fell for several days and did not stop, and the snow, which was originally regarded as a harbinger of a good harvest in the coming year, turned into a once-in-a-century snow disaster.
