Early Spring in Gangnam (XIII) (Middle)

At this time, the Lord of Discussion was troubled by the woman. As the old hall master Shi said, the woman who followed him chased. It's just that this woman is not a fireworks woman, or an ordinary official or a wealthy merchant woman in Hangzhou, but she received a holy decree from the capital to come to Jiangnan and go to Jingchen, the princess who prayed for the emperor at the Jinfeng Temple, which was presided over by a hundred years old.

After the New Year, the princess set off to Jinfeng Temple in Jiangnan to pray for the emperor to fast for seven days. I just came out of the customs yesterday, and today I came to Hangzhou to live in the official post, and specially sent someone to recruit Tang Xinjie to see him, but the person sent to the Tang family's Hangzhou mansion came back and said that Tang Sangongzi did not live in the Tang family's mansion, and there are several places where the third prince can stay in Hangzhou, and they don't know where the third prince lives. After receiving such a reply, the female official beside Jing Chen scolded the stinking of the words back and forth, since she knew that there were several places, she looked for them everywhere, always in the city, and she had to find it before she could talk back.

Jing Chen listened to the female official's scolding, and then said leisurely: "In this case, let's go to Yuehuaxuan in Hangzhou, where is his property, if he doesn't come, let's go to him." ”

"Princess, he is just a staff member of the prince's side, strictly speaking he is still a cloth cloth, how can you go to him yourself?"

"Didn't I often go to Yuehuaxuan in the capital, just to meet him? This is known to everyone in the capital. Wouldn't it be better to let everyone know in Hangzhou? ”

The female official immediately reacted and smiled: "Exactly, I heard that there are many women in this Hangzhou who admire Tang Gongzi, how can they compete with the princess?!" ”

Although Jing Chen and his party were in civilian clothes, many servants and guards, how could they all come to Yuehuaxuan by the thin lake, and the female official beside her instructed Yuehuaxuan's people to ask for the best private room. This month, Huaxuan's first-class private room can see the lake view of Slender Lake on the one hand, and you can see the storytelling and juggling performances on the stage in the middle of the restaurant on the other. Guests can also ask someone to perform in the private dining room. Yuehuaxuan's men are all trained, and when they look at the entourage and posture of the guests, they are not ordinary people. An upper room was immediately arranged, and the first-class water card of the first-class private room was handed over, and various dishes and performances were introduced in a lively and regular manner. Princess Jingchen listened quietly, and did not say anything, but the female officer beside her looked at the face of her master and interrupted the guy to ask for some details. After listening for a while, the female officer said to Jing Chen: "It seems that the Yuehuaxuan here is the same as the Yuehuaxuan in the capital, it's hard for Young Master Tang to train the people below so well." ”

"Brother Jie is naturally capable." Jing Chen slowly rubbed the various acupuncture points on his hands with the silk handkerchief in his hand. It's been the action from the moment you come in and sit down. It is said that this was recommended by a imperial doctor, saying that it can invigorate blood and preserve youth: "It is rare for someone to be as capable as Brother Jie, and this month Huaxuan has been opened all over the prosperous towns of Dazhou." ”

When the guy heard the tone of his words, he was an acquaintance with the big boss? This group of people is dressed well, and it sounds like they are from the capital, so they are more careful to deal with it, and take advantage of the opportunity to let people add tea, and let people quietly notify the shopkeeper.

"If the master can get the emperor's marriage this time, it will make the so-called famous beauties in the capital envious to death. Young Master Tang is not only able to be literate and martial, but he is also much better than those young masters in Beijing who only rely on the shadow of their fathers and ancestors in Beijing. ”

In addition, a guy brought tea over, and the guy who greeted him earlier walked to the door to help pick him up and came in, and both of them were shocked when they heard this. Later, the man heard the news of the visitation of a potentially troublesome guest from below, and sent an experienced foreman to bring tea to investigate further. When this foreman heard this, he was stunned in his heart, could this still be married to the big boss, the proprietress of Chengyue Huaxuan? Those who can be married by the emperor are often relatives of the emperor or important ministers of the court. The big boss of his own family plays a pivotal role in the rivers and lakes, but he is just an ordinary person in the court, is this woman a royal prince and a princess? Princess? Although this voice is dignified, his voice is a little high-pitched, and the end is a little pretentious, this kind of person is often narrow-minded and picky. If this becomes the proprietress of the proprietress , I'm just afraid... But these are not considered by a small person like him, and the first thing is to notify the shopkeeper as soon as possible and hand the news to the boss. The foreman quickly finished serving tea and went out to find the shopkeeper quietly, and the shopkeeper quickly handed the news to Xinjie.

In fact, even if the shopkeeper didn't deliver him the news, Xinjie also knew that this princess had come out of Jinfeng Temple and arrived in Hangzhou, whether it was the news of the Aoki Society or the news from the Tang family, there was this princess. And this scheming Princess Jingchen naturally will not give up the image of his suitor she created in the capital. Although the princess was dressed in casual clothes, she came out of the post house with such a momentum, and passed through Yuehuaxuan from the most lively street road in Hangzhou, making it clear that everyone in Hangzhou knew about it.

If it is an ordinary official woman, Tang Xinjie can ignore it, but the princess came to Jiangnan to summon her, that is the face of the royal family, even if he is a close minister of the prince, but after all, he is still a minister. When the princess arrived, she sent someone to Tang's house to recruit him to the post house to meet, but there was no exact news, so she deigned to go to his Yuehuaxuan, and the outsiders were enough to give face as a subordinate, although Xinjie knew very well that the princess's purpose of going to Yuehuaxuan was not simple, but ordinary people didn't see it that way.

The royal face, he still has to give.

So, he had to put down the busy affairs in his hands, go to Yuehuaxuan, first in front of all kinds of people, in the corridor of Yuehuaxuan towards the inner courtyard, in the position where many guests in the courtyard can see, and made a big gift to the people in the house, and even greeted the queen mother, the emperor and the prince in the palace, so that the guests in the courtyard knew that the boss of Yuehuaxuan had a close relationship with the palace, and the princess in the palace came to Yuehuaxuan in Jiangnan. It seems that this month, Huaxuan is not only good wine and good food, but also high-grade.

Then Xinjie ordered loudly, let Yuehuaxuan's shopkeeper arrange, put all the signature dishes on it, and at the same time asked the shopkeeper to send a few handsome guys to listen to the call, and called Wang Bingzheng, the outstanding and handsome shopkeeper of Yuehuaxuan's Hangzhou branch, to the door of the room to instruct.

Jiangnan is rich, and there are also many talented people who have entered the court as officials, so many people know more or less about the affairs of the court. It is also common for the royal family in the palace to come to Jiangnan from time to time. Therefore, the guests in Yuehuaxuan were not surprised to see the princess in Yuehuaxuan. It's just that the third son of the Tang family is not only good at business, but also a famous romantic talent in Jiangnan, whether it is the appearance of the character or the talent of the export chapter, he is the top figure in Jiangnan, does Her Royal Highness the princess come to Huaxuan this month to have any special meaning? Everyone speculated, could it be that the third young princess wanted to be a princess? It's just that over the years, although the third prince has been brilliant in literature and is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he has never tested his fame, he is just a cloth businessman, and he is still born to a flat wife in the family. Many Sven people who often come to Yuehuaxuan couldn't help but think sourly.

"Your Royal Highness, I hope you have a great time here. For a while, if you want to watch singing and dancing, watch people juggle, or eat or drink, just talk to the shopkeeper Wang. If only you had someone tell the king's treasurer to do it. Xinjie glanced at the female officer beside Jing Chen.

Jing Chen is very self-controlled, so he naturally disdains to talk directly to a restaurant shopkeeper, and Xinjie is talking in the inner corridor, and the people in the courtyard also hear it, so it looks even more princessy. The whole time, when he came, he stood outside the door and talked into the house, but did not enter the house. At this time, the female official beside Jing Chen said: "The princess thanks Tang Gongzi for his hospitality, the princess invites the prince into the house to talk, toast a glass of thin wine, and express her gratitude." ”

"The grass people don't dare to be a princess." Tang Xinjie pretended to bend down and salute: "It's just that the grass people are clothed, and they are rough men, which inevitably disturbs the princess Yaxing." The grass people retired. Without waiting for any reaction from inside, he stepped back and left the door of the private room, and when he reached a position that he couldn't see inside, he stood up straight, turned around and left. Where is there a hint of a half-dare look.

I just guessed that Tang Sangongzi wanted Princess Shang, and at this moment I felt that I was thinking too much, although this Princess Jingchen was noble, but Tang Gongzi was the aunt and grandson of the Queen Mother, and he was also considered a royal prince.

"Childe, please go slowly!" Tang Xinjie just turned around, and before he took two steps, the female officer chased after him: "The princess invited the prince in and had something to discuss." ”

Xinjie suddenly frowned. Before she could speak, the female official said: "The princess came south to pray for the emperor this time, but although she entered Hangzhou in the post house, there were also some accidents, no matter what the princess said, she was brother and sister with the prince, and asked the prince to help the prince." ”

Xinjie raised his eyebrows, he knew very well the whereabouts of Princess Jingchen in the past few days, the so-called trouble, hehe, he didn't want to be contaminated: "Tang is panicked!" The princess went to Jiangnan to pray for the emperor, and the Jiangnan government should be responsible for the princess's needs and guards. ”

"Childe, I'm afraid that this matter is not suitable for the government to take action. The princess just wants to entrust the son as a friend, how to say that the princess and the son are old acquaintances in the capital, the princess has been treating the princess as a friend all these years, and the princess is now just entrusting the son with some private matters, the son is like this, isn't it chilling? ”

The guests in the hall who heard this conversation became more and more surprised, and all kinds of voices were heard. I don't know what this princess has secrets, or the princess is too dedicated to this Tang Gongzi but is not favored by Tang Gongzi. Either way, for the royal princess, it's shocking to say it. But smart people think this thing is weird, a royal princess, if she has any private matters, she also privately invited Tang Gongzi to discuss, how can she come to this restaurant full of friends? Isn't this to let everyone in Hangzhou know about this?

"You are too exalted to Tang, how can Tang be a friend of the princess."

"Childe is a friend of the prince, and the princess's cousin, the princess is a weak woman, and now she has something to ask for Childe, is Childe really abandoned?"

"This lady, be careful! Thinking that you have a good position in the palace by the princess's side, first of all, you should know the royal etiquette, how can the princess's private affairs be entrusted to a foreign man? Or do you want to talk to a foreign man? Although Tang doesn't read much, he understands this kind of rule. If you talk about personal relationships, let alone talk about it, Tang and the princess have no contact, even if they meet in the capital, they are all banquets in the palace, or in public places in the capital, and they have never met in private. What you said just now not only ignored the princess's reputation, but also said that Tang was an unfaithful and unrighteous person who did not know the rules, did not know how to respect the royal princess, and did not know how to protect his cousin. If the princess has something difficult, she has people in the palace to come forward to find the official mansion, if it is inconvenient to find the official mansion, return to the palace to the queen, and have her own mother to call the shots, why do you need to find my cousin who is separated by a few floors, not only is it not etiquette, but also ruins the reputation of the princess and the royal family. ”

"Since Childe has talked about his reputation, the slave family asked Childe on behalf of the princess, doesn't Childe want to be responsible for what he has done in the past few days? Just let the princess and a woman face all this? ”
