Chapter 202: Portrait

The four envoys were all stunned, not knowing how to react, and those warriors on the grassland, all looked at Zhiwan, what she said was true?

They have the heart to take advantage of the fire to rob, but they all know in their hearts that the opportunity is just like this, but the benefits given by the princess of the county, it is a good thing that every household in the grassland benefits, and the royal court also took the benefits, salt is more precious than cattle and sheep on the grassland, and the four envoys hurriedly got up and saluted Zhiwan, "We are on behalf of the grassland royal court, and on behalf of the people on the grassland, thank the princess of the county for her generosity." ”

Zhiwan was happy and said with a smile, "I'm not busy, I'm just discussing the cattle and sheep, this horse hasn't been discussed yet, the god horse on the grassland, my Dayue boy is yearning, do you sell your horses?" ”

The divine horse is very valuable, but it is not comparable to cattle and sheep, but just after taking the benefits of others, his mouth is a little soft, "How much does the princess of the county want?" ”

"How many of you have?"

cough, a certain county prince coughed violently on the side, this is really what a wealthy person said, those envoys were speechless, they knew that the princess of the county was rich, but should they despise the grassland like this?

But there are really not many divine horses, they are all difficult to buy, and even if there are, how many people are willing to sell them?

Seeing their expressions at night, I also knew that I was embarrassed for them, so I faked a cough and said, "I don't want more, three, five, seven, or eight will become, and I want three thousand ordinary horses, right?" ”

It's despised again, what do you mean that there is always this, this must be there, is it good, there are no horses on the grassland, is this like words?!

But such a large amount of horses. A few of them really can't be the master, they really deserve to be despised, you look at the big Yue Dynasty. The big things in the court, what to say, the princess of the county said a word, they still boast of being arrogant, lose face!

How did they know that Zhiwan agreed, and it was out of her own pocket. Ahem, it doesn't count. It's just pulling salt from the fiefdom of the little prince, and as for the silk and satin, it's none of her business, she just thinks the salt is too monotonous. Smooth ......

Although the envoy can't be the master, he can still say something, who sells the horses on the grassland is not selling, the princess of the county is so generous, the grassland royal court will not be stingy, three thousand horses is not a big problem.

Zhiwan also knew that it was not a big problem, so he bought so many cattle and sheep from her, and she had to sell this face!

For a while, they talked happily, and the kitchen prepared beef and mutton.

The people of the steppe are arrogant. It's especially obvious after eating, no, the man who dances with a bare arm is the best proof of this.

The maids of the palace blushed. But a certain woman still watched it with relish, and patted the arm of a black-faced county king on the side and said, "Look at that muscle, I don't know how to train it." ”

A certain county king almost vomited blood, grinding his teeth and saying, "You like it." I can also practice. ”

Zhiwan glanced at him, and then at the man. shook his head violently, "No need, look awkward, it's good for you to do this, don't train the eight muscles in your abdomen to one, just like the third uncle." ”

Rao is black-faced Ye Guiyue, when he heard Zhiwan's words, he couldn't help choking his throat, crying and laughing.

After the warrior had danced, the envoy said, "Isn't there a singer and a dancer in the palace?" ”

Zhiwan shook his head lightly, because he drank two more glasses of wine, his face was a little red, "The prince is busy with government affairs, he rarely entertains guests in the house, and he doesn't raise singing and dancing girls, but if I'm happy today, I'll sing you a song on the grassland." ”

After speaking, she stood up and shook her body several times, but she was still supported by Ye Guiyue, so she stood firm, but as soon as she started singing, Ye Guiyue collapsed.

"Thou art mighty and majestic, thou art a galloping horse like a galloping wind, and the endless wilderness wanders with thee ......."

After singing a sentence, he stopped, "It seems that the singing is not right, what is the beginning, I want to think about it." ”

After thinking about it for a while, I remembered:

Give me a blue sky, a rising sun

Give me a piece of green grass that stretches into the distance

Give me an eagle, a mighty man

Give me a leash and hold it in his hand

Give me a white cloud, a white imagination

Give me a fresh breeze and blow away the potpourri

Give me an encounter, in the green pasture

Give me a look, *piping hot

The man who sets the horse, you are mighty and majestic

Galloping horses are like the wind

Endless wilderness wanders with you

Your heart is as wide as the earth

The man who sets the horse, you are in my heart

I want to melt in your broad breast

Endless wilderness wanders with you

All the days are as sunny as yours

Alas......

The heroic song hovered over the palace, and the frightened bird fluttered its wings and flew away.

Inside the house, the grassland envoys danced with their hands, and even put down the wine cup and jumped up.

Ye Guiyue's face was already as black as the bottom of a pot, and he really wanted to drag Zhiwan down and ask, "What do you mean by giving you an eagle, a mighty man, who is willing to melt into his broad chest and wander with him?" ”

After waiting for a long time, Zhiwan finished singing, and asked very embarrassedly, "How is my singing, does it have the taste of grassland?" ”

The grassland envoy was already willing to bow down, and saluted again and again, "If we didn't know that the princess of the county was a Dayue person, we would all suspect that you are my son and daughter of the grassland." ”

Zhiwan was already drunk, and said with a smile, "I've been to the grassland, and it feels good to roll on the grass, and the mare's milk wine is also sweet, and I can sing a lot of songs on the grassland, do you want it, don't ......." ”

Ye Guiyue covered her mouth tightly, he knew what she was going to say, he couldn't imagine her rolling on the grassland with his child.

Ye Guiyue knows Zhiwan very well, he left Kyoto that year before marrying him, and it is only possible that he could go to the grassland that year, and at that time, Zhiwan's stomach was full of dust!

Poria cocos waited on the side, her eyes were round, when did the princess of the county go to the grassland, she didn't know, did she go when she was dreaming? And when will the princess of the county sing the song of the grassland? It's impossible for her not to remember such a beautiful song!

It's just such an explicit song. It's not Chiguoguo's confession, do you want a man, just listening to it makes my face burn. It's a shame that the princess of the county sang it, look, the princess's face is blue, and his eyes are still on fire.

Well, the princess of the county actually bit the hand of the prince of the county, and in front of so many people......

Ye Guiyue gasped, having the idea of knocking her unconscious. As a result, the envoys were dissatisfied, "Lord of the county." The princess of the county is heroic by nature, not inferior to our children of the grassland, we are willing to cooperate with the princess of the county, and we also love to listen to her sing songs on the grassland. Let's be honest, we are very ashamed to listen to the princess singing, we have never heard such a tune, ....... ”

Zhiwan was drunk, she wanted to sing, Ye Guiyue couldn't stop it at all, she could only let her, but there was a request. "Just sing one."

"Two songs."

"One song," Ye Guiyue did not regress.

"Three."

“…… Well, just two. ”

Zhiwan giggled. I looked down for the microphone, but I didn't find it, so I took the wine cup, and after drinking, I sang into the wine glass:

I immediately went out of a thousand mountains, listening to the wind and singing the sounds of heaven

The years have changed. The mind is still at ease

I am singing thousands of miles away, and the bright moon is with me

Far away waits for me. The heart is surging

I am looking for my dreams, and the future is blooming for me

The sky began to white, and the steps were so brisk

If I want to love love, I will come, and I will not be lonely and dusty

The heart is undefeated, and it is wonderful

The wind came from the grassland and touched my heart

Blow my love, this floral sea

I come from the prairie to warm your heart

Unchanged my love, the love of the sky blue

……

After singing, the applause was very intense, and Zhiwan was in a good mood, and no one needed to say it at all, and the song "Free Flying" floated out.

"The aroma and the light waves along the way

……

The fragrance along the way keeps me elusive

Who is singing warms the loneliness

The white clouds are long, the blue sky is still the same, and the tears are drifting

Live alone in that vast expanse

……

Fly freely in your heart

The brilliant starlight wanders forever

The direction of the road shines on my heart

The vast frontier follows me to the distance

After singing, Zhiwan fainted directly in Ye Guiyue's arms, and the cheers in his ears were completely unknown.

That night, Gonggong Xu took a sedan chair back to the palace, went straight to the imperial study, and said when he entered the door, "Great joy, emperor, great joy...... ”

Emperor Wen Yuan was reviewing the folds, his brows were furrowed, his face was unhappy, and he came back so late to announce his decree, "Where did you get the great joy?" ”

Gonggong Xu stepped forward quickly and said, "It turns out that one of our envoys from Dayue is the prince of the grassland, and he promised to lend us 30,000 cavalry!" ”

Emperor Wenyuan was stunned and asked eagerly, "Is this true?" ”

Gonggong Xu nodded like pounding garlic, "Such a big event, how dare the slave open his mouth, at this time, the prince of the grassland and the prince of the county are still drinking in the palace." ”

Emperor Wen Yuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, "I know that Yue'er has such ability, let's talk about it, how can the grassland royal court who came to take advantage of the fire and rob be willing to lend us troops." ”

Gonggong Xu walked to the side, smiling with wrinkles on his face, "The old slave can be regarded as understanding the princess of the county today, the grassland people are heroic, the princess of the county is more heroic than them, the grassland people love to sing, the princess of the county loves to sing more than them, this is not all of a sudden the grassland envoys were shocked, and after they were full of wine and food, they signed an agreement with the prince of the county to buy cattle, horses and sheep, and they are willing to take the initiative to lend troops to us, the grassland has many cavalry, but the prince of the grassland has a request, when the grassland is in turmoil in the future, let us borrow 50,000 soldiers and horses to help them." ”

Emperor Wenyuan smiled happily, "With the help of 30,000 cavalry on the grassland, this battle will be won!" Tell me quickly, what have you promised the grassland envoys? ”

Gonggong Xu hurriedly said, "Originally, the princess of the county just wanted to buy cattle and sheep with the grassland court, and later bought horses, and originally promised to give the grassland court 30,000 catties of salt and 500 horses of silk, and then drank and was happy, and the salt was added to 50,000 catties, and the princess of the county assured them that as long as the grassland did not go to war with Dayue, she guaranteed that everyone in the grassland would eat salt, and the cattle and sheep would be sold. will go to the grassland with the prince of the county to play ....... ”

Emperor Wen Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "That's it?" ”

Gonggong Xu nodded heavily, "That's it, the princess of the county gave the grassland much less than what we discussed earlier, she didn't give gold or silver, but gave them what they needed the most, and gave the grassland a steady stream of wealth." This trip is not like a robbery, but more like sending charcoal in the snow, Your Majesty. Do you say? ”

Emperor Wen Yuan listened to it all over his body, and he was still worried, but he didn't expect it to be solved in this way, and he could sleep peacefully.

But I remembered one more thing, "If the money on the water side is not taken by the prince, where will the money come from to cooperate with the grassland?" ”

Gonggong Xu smiled, "I just signed the agreement." Let the grassland pull back 5,000 catties of salt first, and send a batch of cattle and sheep. Then pay the silver, with the water side, this time and again, the money is enough. In the words of the princess of the county, don't worry about money, even if there is no silver, isn't there still salt? ”

The prince of the grassland immediately laughed, and it is estimated that this strengthened his heart to cooperate with the water side.

Emperor Wenyuan raised his eyebrows, "There are a lot of people on the grassland, and there are many people in Dayue, and the output of salt is not enough, can you ensure that everyone in the grassland can eat salt?" ”

Gonggong Xu smiled and served tea to Emperor Wenyuan. said, "I don't know what method the princess of the county uses, as long as someone buys it." There is salt to sell, otherwise you can't make up the money to build roads, right? ”

Emperor Wen Yuan took the teacup and gently plucked it, his voice was a little melancholy, "Originally, the imperial treasury was empty, and it couldn't even sustain a war. I didn't expect her ability to turn the tide, and I don't know where she learned it. stunned to turn a barren land into a fragrant dumpling, and the civil and military officials stared at Xinzhou. ”

Gonggong Xu nodded again and again, "Yes, we are really poor, we really don't know how to use good things, and they are wasted there, just like the coal, there is a danger of poisoning when others use it, and if you avoid it, the princess of the county can use it to make money, and there are many cattle and sheep on the grassland, and I don't know what to do, so the princess of the county thought of buying it back, and it was a milk bath, and it was milk candy, and the wool, and the grassland was eager to be used as firewood, but the princess of the county spent money to buy it back, if it was not good, the princess of the county would not bother to think about it, and there was a road repair." , Usually we all think it's okay to go, the princess of the partial county thinks that the road is smooth and smooth, saving time, the emperor, do you remember the master who has no chance to say that the king of Yuejun is not suitable to be the emperor? ”

Emperor Wen Yuan nodded his head, "I remember, Master Wuyuan said that someone is more suitable to be the emperor than him, indeed, Chen'er is more suitable than him, if Yue'er becomes the emperor, there will inevitably be three palaces and six courts, and the princess of the county will definitely not treat him like now, and spare no effort to help him, she is helping her son." ”

Gonggong Xu said with a smile, "Yes, there are county princes and princesses to help the little prince guard, our Dayue Dynasty's rivers and mountains are solid, and the emperor can also sit back and relax, and when he recognizes the eldest prince, it will be a long time before the little prince grows up." ”

The princess of the county really doesn't really want to be the emperor, the princess of the county is not as enthusiastic about power as making money, no one comes to fight for the throne, I hope that the emperor will die early, give way as soon as possible, and the emperor will be able to live a long life.

For the emperor, he is afraid that the prince will compete for the throne, and he is also afraid that the prince will be old and have a big heart, and the most afraid is that the emperor will live to be seventy or eighty, and the prince will be fifty or sixty years old, so it is strange if he does not curse the emperor to die early.

It's just that the court mentions the prince every day, it's really a group of elm heads, knowing that the emperor doesn't want to set up a prince, but he mentions it, the more this is the case, the more annoying the emperor is, and then the unlucky dirty work is thrown to them to do.

Besides, Zhiwan, drunk and thirsty in the middle of the night, woke up, wanted to climb down to find tea, was halfway up, a man woke up, a pair of bright eyes like stars shining under the moonlight, Zhiwan was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, the person had changed from a pressing posture to being pressed, and his delicate lips were blocked, without half of the gentleness of the past, she could feel his anger.

His lips hurt, and Zhiwan tried to push his chest, "I'm thirsty, and I didn't provoke you, why are you angry with me?" ”

He didn't sleep all night, she even asked him why he was angry, Ye Guiyue's head hurt, grinding his teeth and asking, "You like men on the grassland?!" ”

This question came a little inexplicably, forgive her for the buzzing of her head, "What man on the prairie?" ”

After asking, it suddenly dawned on me, "You mean the song I sang, that's the song, I just sang it, but the grassland man is heroic, I still like it." ”

Originally, Ye Guiyue's face was three points better, she added another handful of firewood, and her anger was even more than before, "Say it again, who do you like!" ”

"Of course, my favorite is you, this still needs to be asked," Zhiwan is in a good mood, this guy doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, it is because he is jealous, this sour taste is big enough.

Ye Guiyue listened, the anger in his eyes disappeared at once, he got up and went to pour tea for her, knowing that it was not enough to drink a cup at night, he poured her another cup, it was difficult for him to be a county prince who didn't sleep in the middle of the night and served her tea.

Zhiwan touched the teacup and drank it. asked casually, "Are all the grassland envoys gone, and the back is drunk." I don't remember. ”

Ye Guiyue told Zhiwan about the grassland promise to borrow 30,000 soldiers, and Zhiwan laughed when he heard it, "I would have sung four songs if I knew that I would have sung four songs, and when the time comes, I will borrow 40,000 cavalry, and the odds will be greater. It's so easy to talk to, I didn't promise anything casually, did I? ”

"Sent 20,000 catties of white salt." Ye Guiyue didn't have a good temperament, if it weren't for the wine burp, she probably would have sent something.

When she heard that it was white salt, she was relieved. I asked two more words, and I heard that the business of cattle, horses and sheep was finalized, and the prince of the grassland was also there, and I regretted it later, I knew that I wouldn't drink so much wine, and the stupid girl of Poria asked her to dilute the wine, and I don't know how much water she added, it doesn't seem to have changed at all.

I want to ask again. But Ye Guiyue didn't want to say more, slowly and for a long time, he always had to do something he liked to live up to the good day.

Overnight. The relationship between Dayue and the grassland suddenly became so good that the Manchu Dynasty was speechless, but the grassland promised to borrow 30,000 soldiers, and who would contact the grassland became a problem.

The third prince and the fourth prince all actively fought for it, and they had military exploits. has a better chance of being made the crown prince, but the grassland envoys are more inclined to Ye Guiyue and Zhiwan. I hope they go to the grassland, but Ye Guiyue has soldiers to train, and he does want to go on an expedition, but not now.

In the end, the Marquis of Dingyuan stood up and took the initiative to ask for help, Emperor Wenyuan thought it was good, and when the grassland envoy heard that he was the father of the princess of Yuejun, his good feelings rose, and he completely loved the house and Wu.

The grassland envoy couldn't wait to send the good news back, exchange those more cattle and sheep for silver, and then raise calves and sheep, and made a request before leaving, "Your Majesty, the princess of the county is the brilliant sun for our grassland, and the grace she brought to our grassland, my children of the grassland will always remember it, can you let the painter of your country paint us a portrait of the princess of the county, so that the children of the grassland can admire the appearance of the princess of the county?" ”

To be honest, Emperor Wenyuan's heart is a little sour, I am the emperor, what you should look up to is me, how is it my daughter-in-law?

But I've always been generous, and with a wave of my hand, "Quasi-play." ”

The grassland envoy returned to the hotel, changed his clothes and went to take a good bath on the water side, above the court, but he was saying that the grassland was a barbarian, and he actually looked at a woman, and did not put their emperor in his eyes, he was too ignorant of lifting, without the emperor's permission, can the princess of the county cooperate with them, he was extremely excited, Emperor Wenyuan squinted at the ministers, "If you pay out of your pocket to buy the wool they don't want, they will also look at you." ”

The ministers' faces turned red, and they retreated without saying a word.

As for Lin Moxuan, the painter has already arrived, and he is choosing a place to leave the beautiful appearance of their princess of Yuejun for the children of the grassland to admire and worship.

Pick and choose, either here or there, tossing the good mood of Zhiwan, sitting on the swing.

The two painters also knew that they had angered her, and hurriedly said, "The princess of the county is so beautiful, elegant, indifferent, and ordinary is beautiful." ”

Poria and a few maids stood aside, the more they looked at it, the more envious they became, and they came to the painter's side and said, "Usually the princess of the county doesn't leave the maids, should I stand over?" ”

The painter couldn't say a word when he was choked, he glanced at Poria with hatred, picked up the pen to paint, Bai Shao smiled at Poria cocos, and Poria playfully stuck out her tongue.

Can be a painter, the painting skills are extraordinary, fast and god-like, as if the late painting alive, when painting, the two painters were also amazed, the beauty is like this, should be collected in the inner courtyard, play the piano and caress the song, and make flowers and grass, but she put aside the worldly prejudices, started trading, and caused a sensation in Kyoto in one fell swoop.

Covered with the smell of copper, she will not be liked by everyone in the world, but she regards money as dung, more elegant than anyone else, it is really hard to imagine that she dares to smash the king of Yuejun for a hundred taels of gold, and she is also the one who takes 1.6 million taels as military salary, and the two contradictory personalities are perfectly combined in her.

When the painter stopped writing, Zhiwan finally breathed a sigh of relief, twisted his sour neck, looked at it, and praised a few words very unstingily, the painter was a little fluttering, but he was still very modest, "Poor skills, not as good as the princess of the county." ”

As a thank you gift, Zhiwan asked the maid to give a gift to each of them.

After they left, Hou Qingmiao took Hou Qingling to seek medical treatment, and only after a short rest in the evening did she help Hou Qingling treat her hair thinning.

It took half an hour to get it done, Hou Qingmiao teased Chen'er Si'er, Si'er giggled, spit bubbles at her, and Hou Qingmiao, who was happy, also laughed.

Suddenly, I want to get married, and I want to have two such lovely children.

Hou Qingmiao looked back at Zhiwan and said enviously, "Guan Ling's wedding date has been set, and it will be the eighteenth of this month." ”

Zhiwan smiled lightly, "There is still half a month, and it will pass in a blink of an eye, Guan Ling is not making a fuss about withdrawing from his family?" ”

Hou Qingmiao walked over with a smile and said, "What kind of trouble, after I left you yesterday, I went around to see her, she was happy with a smile in her eyes, even the king of the county gave her a big bowl, listening to the maid, she couldn't help laughing when she ate." ”

When Hou Qingmiao went, Guan Ling was eating porridge, and she also felt that Guan Ling's dissatisfaction with this family affair disappeared with the bowl, she seemed to like that bowl very much, in her opinion, she couldn't put it down.

Hou Qingmiao said, covering her mouth and smiling, "I heard that she also asked the king of Lianjun to go to Pujia Pavilion to pick a ring." ”

Zhiwan raised her eyebrows, that girl really likes the king of Lianjun, since she is a friend, she has to prepare makeup for her, I don't know what to give.

Hou Qingmiao remembered Zhu'er's entrustment, looked at Zhiwan and said, "I don't know when it started, Kyoto is popular to marry relatives and scatter candy, Zhu'er said that she went to the water side to book, and as a result, six families placed orders, and the amount is not small, may not be able to buy, ask me to ask you, can you buy it?" ”

Recently, there are a lot of people who have become married, not only married, but also the full moon of children, 100-day banquets, as long as it is a happy event, rich and noble people are used to sprinkling sugar, so the sales of candy are exceptionally good, and some are in short supply.

She was thinking about whether to open a candy shop to sell candy, the shop was easy to do, but sugar was a big problem.

But no matter how out of stock, Guan Ling's candy must be enough, "Cheng, go back and tell the shopkeeper, be sure to get the share of the Guan Mansion." ”

This room agreed to the Guan Mansion, and the shop was a little tight, but the Qian family sent a maid to tell her that Qin Zhiyu on the 26th was going to marry the third prince, and the candy should be enough to make a difference, five hundred catties, and let her find a way, and it was the kind that didn't give money.

Don't give money and return that posture, Zhiwan is lazy to take care of her, only give 100 catties, and if you want the remaining 400 catties, how much should you pay, don't pull it down, she doesn't do a loss-making business, their friendship is not to that point! (To be continued)
