Chapter 20: Gyeongbook Inn
It was another sunny morning, and sure enough, news came from the palace that Marquis Xiao, Lord Shen and Lord Yang, who were summoned by the emperor yesterday in the court, were all scolded by His Majesty, and reprimanded their godson for not allowing the master of the horse to drink and have fun before he got into trouble, and wanted to shirk his responsibility and wrongfully persuade the outspoken Cui Jiuxuan, the three of them were fined for one year and demoted to one level, while the sons of the three of them thought about it behind closed doors for three months, and as for Cui Jiuxuan who was beaten and injured, the emperor rewarded him with gold and silk silk to show condolences.
And the most important party in this matter is the horse Liu Qi, but after death is not dignified, His Majesty in the hearing of the filial piety of the eldest princess Qin Kezhi said all kinds of anger thunder and anger, to the beloved daughter is even more distressed, to the horse even more disgusted, in a fit of anger ordered the quasi-eldest princess and Liu Qi to reconcile, now the horse's coffin and Liu Mu have moved out of the princess's mansion, moved to the deserted mansion on West Street, that was originally His Majesty rewarded Liu Qi, but a few years of no one lived, now it has long been deserted, many places need to be repaired.
Mother Liu, who was holding the coffin and standing in the deserted courtyard, found that she now has nothing, and her daughter-in-law who was bullied by herself is still a princess of a country, I don't know if she knows where she is wrong, whether she has any remorse, if it is not for her to obstruct in every way, how can there be such evil consequences today.
Cui Jiuan looked at the few treasures He Luo picked in the Haoxing Pavilion, although the things were valuable, they were not rare objects.
"He Luo, bring me the "Lonely Shadow in the Cold Pond" I painted before." Cui Jiuan felt that it was more sincere to send his own Mobao.
"Childe, I think this energetic horse, Cang Gongzi may like it more." He Luo couldn't help but laugh when he remembered the way Kurami pulled his sister's bracelet that day.
"Canggongzi wouldn't be such a layman." Cui Jiuan retorted, although he was smart, he was young and had no experience after all, and he thought that people who were not short of money would definitely appreciate some spiritual pursuits. He Luo has been bitter since he snacked, helped Cui Jiuan manage his family property and dealt with all kinds of people, but he was more vicious and insightful than Cui Jiuan in terms of looking at people.
"Childe, this time you're right." Seeing He Luo's sworn promise, Cui Jiuan nodded obediently, he has never been a stubborn person, and being good at using people is actually a talent that he doesn't even know.
Cui Jiu'an cleaned up here and came to the courtyard of Mengjue Building, Cui Ranxin came with all his money, since he was sick, Cui Ranxin has not worn the pretty colors of pink, today this body is more and more delicate than flowers, when he is growing his body, it makes people feel that there are new changes every day, the red and glamorous lips grinned, the bright eyes blinked playfully, and the beautiful nose made Cui Jiuan want to reach out and point a little.
"I look good on my usual life, and I don't have to dress up." Cui Jiu'an's words were not said to Cui Ranxin, but to the Qingshi sake who was carrying a pot of peonies in each hand behind the master. The two looked at each other, puzzled, could it be a mistake to dress up the master beautifully? Got into the carriage with a lot of questions.
The carriage drove out of the alley to Nanshi, where there is the most prosperous and lively street in Kyoto, and the Gyeongbook Inn is there, and the opposite of the Gyeongbook Inn is the Gyeongbook Restaurant, while staying and playing the top, although the two are not the most luxurious and famous places in the capital, they can be regarded as the number one.
Cui Ranxin also came to the King Fook Hotel to eat, the taste is good, the layout and decoration are also good, there is also a small stage in the center of the hotel, sometimes the servants sing opera, sometimes the musicians play a song, or there are storytellers telling the latest stories.
Here, Cui Jiuan led his sister to just get off the carriage, and the shopkeeper inside had already notified the young owner upstairs, so he arrived at the door of the inn, and the Cang brothers and sisters had already greeted him.
He Luo presented the prepared meeting gift, and Cangshi looked at the white jade carved horse and smiled even more happily. Cang Ci looked at the peony that Cui Ranxin brought to her, and liked it very much, and asked people to move to serve in a good life.
"You can come, it's already full of brilliance, what else do you bring, see more outside, don't take an example." Cang Shi unceremoniously hugged Cui Jiu'an's shoulders and went to the Jingfu Restaurant opposite. Cui Jiu'an, who was hugged by Cangshi, dodged silently.
"Sister Xin'er, I like the peony you sent very much, if you have the opportunity to come to Jiangnan in the future, I will take you to the lake to enjoy the lotus, and if you are lucky, you can also see the interesting scene of carp eating lotus." Cui Ran, who was pulled by Cangci, nodded happily.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, a woman dressed in lotus pink sat behind the curtain and slowly sang the Jiangnan minor tune: "The boat leans on the red pink splashes the green waves, and the koi fish are hidden under the jasper plateββ"
The woman's singing voice is graceful and pleasant, which makes people can't help but imagine the beautiful scenery in the song.
"Uninvited, Brother Cang forgive me." Listening to the subtle and melodious singing, Cui Jiuan was even more eager to heal the girl's throat.
"No matter how polite you are, you won't be your own brother." Cangshi said sincerely, but He Luo, who was standing behind Cui Jiuan, glanced at him unceremoniously, and secretly slandered himself, "Our son-in-law is not a brother with you."
"But I don't know what you want to do this time, it's about Sister Ling." Kurami said yes.
Cui Jiuan did not deny it, and bowed slightly, "Brother Cang has traveled south and north since he was a child, he has a wide range of knowledge, and he is also bold, Jiu'an also asked Brother Cang to inform Du Shenyi's whereabouts." β
Cang Shi smiled, his eyebrows crooked, "This is no problem, but how do you know that I have a relationship with Doctor Du?" β
"The Kurake shop covers a wide range of areas. But of course, the purpose of opening a business is to make a profit, but among so many stores, only pharmacies do not say that they lose money every year, but they also collect very little. There must be something in this. β
"Since Jiu'an knows this, the reason must also know, it was indeed five years ago, I had a disease in southern Yunnan, all the doctors were helpless and said that there was no medicine stone, and then I met an old man who went to the pharmacy to sell herbs, he said that he could cure me, but he didn't want to pay for the diagnosis, as long as I promised that in the future, the pharmacy under my warehouse door could not sell medicinal materials for the purpose of making a profit, but it didn't need to be free so it wouldn't last long, so I had this today, and I have to thank that old guy, Give us the title of a good businessman. β
"Dare to ask Brother Cang, where is Divine Doctor Du now?" Cui Jiuan was a little excited.
"I thought that the old immortal should go west at such an old age, but I didn't expect the news to report that he was in good spirits, and he was still in the deep mountains of southern Yunnan, but he didn't go out of the mountains much, and he went out of the mountains to sell herbs and buy some supplies, so you have to go in person, you'd better bring some good wine, that old guy loves to drink." Cang Shi shook out the content of the letter from Fang Feige.
Cui Jiuan held Cui Ranxin's hand and said happily: "I will take you there, and I will definitely be able to cure you." β
Cui Ranxin is happier than her brother's painstaking efforts, she is happier that she can go to such a far place, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and the scenery is infinite, which makes her very excited.
