Chapter 25: Unsurprising news
Yu Ningchen felt that it was no longer interesting for him to stay here, so he said goodbye to Jiang Gongzi and got into the carriage and went home.
However, the lights along the way, and the beggars talking about giving food, she couldn't sit still.
The coachman, who was one of his own, heard her knock on the door of the carriage, so he stopped the carriage and let her down.
When had the beggars seen the nobles of the family dressed like her come to them, and crouch in front of them.
She opened one of the purses she was carrying, "I'll ask you to answer, I'm done, it's all yours." If you dare to lie to me, then, go to the mass grave, or horizontally. ”
As soon as she said this, one of the older beggars laughed, "The girl doesn't have to say such nonsense, just rush at the girl's money, and we dare not lie to the girl." ”
The question she asks is, "Who is going to give the food?" Floating view? Or is it the National Teacher's Mansion? Or what monastery? Guogong Mansion? Wang fu? ”
The beggar laughed louder, pointing in the direction of the palace, "From the palace to what the girl said, and the various families, for a month in a row, every day, it's just a different home." ”
"Is it to pray for the blessing of the official family?" She didn't think about it, and casually said a reason.
"How can you! The last time I prayed for blessings, it was only seven days, but this time it was because five days later, the third prince married the princess, and seven days later, the fifth prince married the princess. We all know better than we all know who to choose a girl, and we don't ask. ”
When the beggar had finished speaking, he saw her take out some copper coins and put them in the broken bowl in front of him.
"Alright, that's a big deal! Then which prince do you think is good! ”
She asked the question deliberately.
"Of course, it's the fifth prince and the sixth prince. In the past few days, the six princes have also come out, and it seems that they have a good relationship with the five princes. They also learned from us that the lotus flower fell. ”
What did the beggars say, and bit by bit pieced together the things of the five princes and the six princes.
Finally, after she knew what the six princes looked like, she put a silver coin in a broken bowl, "Thank you, go buy something delicious!" Great work! ”
"What's the hard work? Girls are the ones who work hard. I advise the girl, don't go to those high-gate compounds, let alone the palace! ”
Before leaving, Yu Ningchen nodded, "I'm not my sisters and sisters, I am fighting for clothes and pastries every day, and I can't afford to eat." ”
"What they are fighting for is not food and drink, but for a position of power." A cold man's voice came from behind her.
"Pin your life on a man, and say that women rely on conquering men to conquer the world." She didn't look back, but continued to walk forward.
The voice chased after her, "It has been the case throughout the ages, even if you become the queen, you have to bow down to the emperor, and you must always worry that you will lose the phoenix position." ”
"That's right. The funny thing is that my sisters and sisters, even if they have entered the sect, have found a Taoist companion for themselves. She got to her carriage and looked back.
The man in front of him was handsome, especially those eyes, which looked quite smart.
The man noticed that she was looking at him, and made a salute, "Down there is the fifth son of the Lu Mansion, Lu Ruofan." ”
She also returned a gift, "Seven girls from Yufu, Yu Ningchen." ”
Lu Gongzi paused for a moment, and then got into her carriage again, "Go to the Jiexing Pavilion." ”
The coachman looked at Yu Ningchen again, and she nodded, "Just do what this son says." ”
When Lu Gongzi got into the carriage, Dongqin had already made tea, and it was time to drink it.
It wasn't until she drank a cup of tea that she said, "Don't say that my tea is good tea, I know it's good, it's tea before the rain." Or alpine pre-rain tea. Tell me, who wants to see me? ”
Lu Gongzi just wanted to praise the tea, but he was suffocated back, and after a while, he replied, "It's not who wants to see you, but the shopkeeper said that someone gave you a painting and a poem." The person who sent the painting also said that you must pick it up in person. ”
Yu Ningchen fanned himself for a while, and looked at Lu Gongzi, "Aren't you afraid?" ”
Lu Gongzi shook his head: "Don't be afraid." You're not afraid of a girl, what am I afraid of? My tutor told me. ”
"That's fine. The big deal is to lose your head and go to the Nine Nether Realm. ”
Lu Gongzi nodded, "That's it, my father has been thinking about who to give his sister to recently." ”
"The official family doesn't have much time to hesitate, and the military power is so scattered now, and there is no movement for a long time." She didn't shy away from anything.
This is all a topic of conversation among the people, and it is nothing big for them to talk about.
Generally speaking, if the crown prince is established, the first thing the previous dynasty will do is to collect military power, then arrange the imperial examination, and then promote some capable people.
In the harem, it is to give the prince's biological mother a promotion, reward things, and so on to show favor.
But, now, there is no news at all.
They are not in a hurry, but some people are in a hurry.
Half a city had passed, and they stopped in front of a crowded shop.
When the guy saw Lu Gongzi, he immediately ran back to the account room, "Sir, Lu Gongzi came back to pay the money." ”
After the bookkeeper finished the calculations, he sent the guests away before replying, "Let them come in, let Shunzi take your place, and you will entertain Lu Gongzi and them." ”
After a while, the guy greeted each other with a smile, "Please, our husband said, please go to the private room inside." ”
Yu Ningchen took out the folding fan and looked at it, the Jiexing Pavilion is a place to buy and sell calligraphy and paintings, and it is also in charge of framing calligraphy and paintings.
Because of the good craftsmanship and fair price, it has become a frequent place for those literati and rich merchants who want to be elegant.
Lu Gongzi painted a good painting again, and it is normal to come to this kind of place.
Therefore, it is understandable that they can go to the private room.
She was relieved to see a few men come out of a private room carrying a framed painting.
The guy was still talking, "This is big business." "The shopkeeper said that it was Master Liu's authentic work, and he wanted to ask Master Fang to take action."
It's as if they're doing business as normal like everyone else here.
It wasn't until they entered the private room that the bookkeeper got up to greet them, and the man closed the door and stood beside the bookkeeper.
"You and I are not the kind of people who like to talk nonsense, you and I know what this painting means."
The bookkeeper said, and the man had already unfolded a painting.
This painting is not a famous work, and the subject matter is not very new, it is the four beauties.
If you look closely, you can see that it is still an imitation of the court painters of the former dynasty.
However, the inscription poem of this painting is interesting, not about the four beauties, but a short paragraph of "Song of Long Hatred" and "Title Yang Guifei".
"It seems that this painter really loves Yang Guifei, why don't you draw a picture of the concubine taking a bath or the concubine getting drunk." The guy looked at it and gave such an evaluation.
Yu Ningchen saw this painting, but he was stunned for a moment, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before nodding, "The painting is a good painting, I'll accept it." ”
The bookkeeper motioned for the man to frame his head after sending it.
Seeing that the guy went to the back room with the painting, the bookkeeper respectfully saluted her, "Now, you have no worries!" ”
She smiled, "No." They couldn't sit still. ”
