Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Bustling Market

In other words, after coming out of the palace, the prince forcibly took King Guanghan back to the prince's mansion to drink, Ning Ze's heart was overjoyed, and he naturally agreed, every time he encountered Qi Shu's matter, as long as it was a good thing for him, he would definitely celebrate.

Qi Shu won the title of Qingming County Lord, and Ning Ze was many times happier than he was rewarded for it. Now she won't worry about her status as a divorce, and she doesn't have to worry about her reputation. And Ning Ze no longer has to worry about her marrying someone else as a side room, and it won't be long before he can pursue her in a bright and bright way. Marrying a Qimen Shu girl is just around the corner!

After reading Qi Shu's acceptance of everyone's compliments and congratulations, after watching the prince and the prince leave happily, Fang Jie walked away alone in a depressed state.

Originally, I was going to return to the General's Mansion, but when I was halfway through, I thought that I would definitely face my grandmother's anger when I went back, so I thought about finding a hotel to have some wine and relieve the boredom in my heart.

Think about what happened this morning, what is this called!

In the morning, he had just finished washing up and was about to go to the dining room for breakfast, but Gonggong Li in the palace suddenly came to the general's mansion to make an order, and he was startled at that time.

Thinking that what His Majesty said in front of him before was that he wanted to ask Qi Shu to be a side room, looking at His Majesty's face, it didn't look like he refused, but it didn't look like he agreed, so it was almost done, and this matter was so secretly operated.

So Fang Jie thought that it was better to turn big things into small things, and small things into nothing. As long as he goes to the Qi Mansion to walk around, Qi Shangshu can't help his intimidation, plus Qi Shu's choice, there is no doubt that he will enter the door of the other Fang Mansion.

But His Majesty suddenly summoned him into the palace again, could it be that he wanted to take action in person? But have you already been married? Backtracking is really not the style that Your Majesty should have, but if it is not for Qi Shu's business, then for what.

The people who came in the Fang Mansion were all newcomers, and they didn't know the doorway, and the masters of the Fang Mansion were a little frightened when they were arrested. But in order to calm everyone's hearts, especially grandmother's, Fang Jie still hinted to his grandmother that this was His Majesty's matter to solve the Qi family's affairs, and it would definitely not implicate their Fang Mansion, and their Fang Mansion had never done anything wrong in this matter from beginning to end.

The old lady put her mind at ease and instructed Fang Jie to remember to pay attention to his words and actions in front of His Majesty, and not to offend His Majesty. It's a pity that this matter did not develop as they expected, but went to the opposite side, Qi Shu not only succeeded in marrying him, but won the appreciation of His Majesty and was named the county lord, and got the grace of marital autonomy, and he was caught off guard, like a slap in the face.

Even if Qi Shu is not committed to him, he will not marry low with the identity of this county lord, after all, this is the first county lord with a foreign surname who is not a royal nobleman since the founding of the Wei State, and his special degree is the same as that of the prince of Ningze.

Could it be said? Fang Jie's head was full of lightning and flint, could it be that this was His Majesty's warning? Just married the princess of the Dian Kingdom, and wanted to marry the noble daughter of the Qi family, is it not the style of a general to hug left and right?

Could it be that it is because his eagerness is too obvious, so in the eyes of His Majesty, he is a little insatiable?

It must be so, Fang Jie slapped himself on the head, and stomped his foot again to be secretly annoyed, and passers-by looked at him like crazy and stupid people.

After figuring it out, instead of feeling relaxed, my mood became heavier and heavier, and here is the reason why I couldn't do it today!

If Yan Mo knew that Fang Jie thought so, he was afraid that he would laugh out loud, he really just admired Qi Shu purely.

Shaoliang in the capital is very prosperous, after the annual holiday rest day, the traders do not have much rest, along the street to pick up the burden, as well as the shop restaurant, most of them have opened their doors to welcome customers, foreign businessmen will also come to Shaoliang to seek business opportunities.

Your Majesty's benevolence, in addition to encouraging agriculture and mulberry, the city is also very free to do business, Shaoliang City is the capital of Wei State integrating economy, politics and culture, and its prosperity is the place where the whole country has dreamed of it.

The Wei state was divided into other countries on all sides, each of which underwent similar annexation and reorganization, and established a political power, with Wei in the middle, Qi in the east, Dian in the south, Qin in the west, and Zhao in the north.

Due to the geographical characteristics of these countries, their respective development priorities are not often the same.

For example, the Wei State, because His Majesty now attaches great importance to agriculture and mulberry, although the foundation has only been cast for decades, the legacy of the previous dynasty and the current policy have made the Wei State very rich, and the first country in the world to do business is the Wei State.

Under the hard work of Emperor Yanmo, the Wei State also grew stronger and stronger, which is also commendable.

And the state of Qi in the east, the surname of the country, the reigning emperor is named Lu Kang, he has been on the throne for 30 years, the foundation of the century-old inheritance is stable, there are many sons and daughters under his knees, and the successor has not yet been established, so the battle for the throne is becoming increasingly fierce, and there are many people who are plotting.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, Qi belongs to the mainland border, close to the sea area, and the fishery is acceptable, but because of the large population, the official black market also does some business in private, selling the children of sinners or innocent white bodies, which is criticized by the world.

In the west of the Qin State, the reigning emperor was a young emperor, named Yingzhi, although he succeeded to the throne for a short time, but after waiting for the emperor, he carried out drastic reforms, determined to change the law and become stronger.

Since the whole country is martial, men and women are all tall and strong, and they are powerful. The naïve boy has already begun to be taught to use swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and Yingzhi admires Han Feizi's idea of governing the country, advocating the rule of law, the law is strict and almost brutal, and the various punishment methods formulated are appalling.

Some celebrities commented that they are mostly brainless and reckless, and they are not a big deal, so naturally they are not afraid!

The southern part of the Dian country, the topography is more complicated, unlike the Wei country, most of the land is plain, in the northwest of the Dian country is the high mountains and deep valleys, the east and the south are the plateau thick soil, the undulating low mountains and round hills, the rain and snow weather often send muddy water and stones to flood the houses at the foot of the mountain, the development of agriculture and mulberry has a lot of suffering, forced to plant tea and flowers for export and sales.

The population between several countries is really not much, but it is such a small country, it took five years for Wei to completely defeat, mostly due to the topography, water and soil, five years ago the Dian State suffered the most serious winter rain and snow disaster in history, so in order to eat enough food and take risks to rob the border areas of Wei, so as to balance the supply.

The Zhao State of Beidi is a relatively neutral country, the commercial development is not particularly good, and it is still following the example of the Wei State, the agricultural mulberry is not very fertile because the land is not very fertile, and the force is 108,000 miles worse than the Qin State, and the terrain and geography are not as easy to defend and difficult to attack as the Dian State, mostly plains and hills, small grazing grasslands, and there are no mountains and seas to eat reliably.

Therefore, on the whole, Zhao is the weakest country among several countries.

Zhao Heng, the emperor of Zhao State, is a woman at an advanced age, her name is Zhao Huanting, she has no children, there is no successor, and it is inevitable that there will be turmoil in the court, and everyone is speculating who will sit in the seat of the emperor of Zhao in the future, and some people say yes

The merchants in Shaoliang are happy to run their own business, and the channels for purchasing and selling goods are very wide, and the purchase office is not only local to Wei, but also some merchants from other countries have come to Shaoliang to do business, and there are a lot of rare goods circulating between the transactions.

As soon as the war ended, the circulation of goods was slowly restored, and the merchants of Wei, especially those of Shaoliang, could make their business bigger and stronger and even extend to important cities and towns in other countries.

There are a wide variety of flowers, cakes, cat ears, snacks, toys, and so on, and all kinds of shops are dizzying, and you can't go shopping at once.

Of course, Fang Jie was also in no mood at this time, and he no longer felt good about himself.

Counting the days with his fingers, it is almost the Midyear Festival, the annual leave period has passed, and he will take office in two days. Now that the frontier has been pacified, His Majesty asked him to go to the forbidden army to exercise and exercise, and to be a head or something, which can be regarded as cultivation and training of sergeants in disguise.

Walking along the street, Fang Jie didn't know where he was going, there were many teahouses and hotels around, but he didn't know which wine was more fragrant and the tea was more delicious.

Some frustrated places were gone for a while, and suddenly the sky rained heavily, crackling bean-sized raindrops fell, hitting people's skulls and feeling the weight, this rain is really heavy.

Fang Jie didn't bring rain gear in his hand, so he had to quickly find a place to temporarily shelter from the eaves, the rain in February is not as good as June, the weather is a little gloomy, and it is only a matter of time before it falls.

As soon as it rained, the peddlers and pawns on the street also ran around, and the water splashed everywhere and it was extremely cold. A bowl of soju to warm up would be a great way to warm up.

Fang Jie looked back, what kind of store is this, why is the shop so big? Take two steps forward, look back at the sign, and the four big characters of the Twilight Tavern come into view.

This name seems a little familiar.

In the rain curtain, an old man with tattered clothes and many layers of outer three layers rushed over with a tofu burden, and looked at it under the eaves where Fang Jie was.

Frowning, he gave up some space next to him for the old man who was carrying the burden to rest for a while.

The old man smiled at Fang Jie, to show his gratitude for just giving way, the young man is still polite, not bad, looking at this body and bearing, the swallow jaw and tiger beard are a little majestic, but it looks like a soldier.

His son was also a soldier, and he wanted to talk, so the old man who sold tofu was ready to come over, and when he saw the old man with a smiling face and wanted to talk, he immediately dodged into the open door of the store.

The old man also wanted to say that this twilight tavern is not allowed to be entered by ordinary idle people, and it is necessary to weigh his identity and worth, and the consumption in it is naturally not low.

Of course, Fang Jie is not an ordinary person, and he can naturally enter this tavern.

The twilight tavern is a famous tavern in Shaoliang City, but who is the boss behind the twilight tavern, there are not many people in Shaoliang City who know, some people say that it was opened secretly by a famous magnate, some people say that it was opened by Donglu people, and some people say that it was opened by Beidi people.

However, this wine and tea sell really well, the road is a tavern, but also for tea, the environment is also very elegant, a four-storey two-storey building, occupies a lot of land, the more small five acres of land, the interior decoration is mainly based on simple logs and rare antiques, the style can be seen.

Although the façade is not small, there is only one door to introduce the door, and the other places are equipped with railings and curtains to hang down, for the guests to adjust freely, the second floor on the street has eight panes, all of which are the use of begonia fancy patterns, according to Xiao Er, the host loves begonias, there are poems: "The snow blooms and spreads the brocade head, and the color of the spring is the most romantic." ”

Entering the door, you can see a landscape splashed ink painting hanging in the middle, the content is based on the theme of bamboo and stone, the distant mountains are depressed, the bamboo is in the corner, the floating clouds are nothing, the meaning is out of the dust, the strange pen end, occasionally a house is hidden in it, humanity is a little like the bamboo hall of the Maha Jie, but the word "from the worry" is written, and most of the rest of the paintings are the graffiti works that can be called out nowadays.

Because there is a rule in the twilight tavern, you can give full play to your talents, if you get the master's picture, you will hang it in the tavern, and then drink wine and tea without charging money, many literati nowadays love to stay here, and should be appreciated by the nobles at the right time.
