Chapter 777: Invitation
The more Chenguang spoke, the more angry she became, and she raised her eyebrows.
"Feng Ying Kingdom does need to increase its population, but this is not something that can be completed overnight." Chang Xi said.
Chenguang propped his cheeks with one hand and said lazily:
"I've been thinking about this for a long time, there are only those people in Feng Yingguo, and the number of births is not stable, and children are not cats, it will take a long time to grow up, so I decided to open the gate and absorb people from other countries. However, other countries only have Cangqiu Country, Chiyang Country and Yanyun Country, which has become a vassal country, these countries are stronger than Feng Ming Country, unless they are crazy, no matter what, they will not abandon their country and go to Feng Ming Country to create population. ”
"Then drive them crazy." Chang Xi pondered for a moment and said with a smile.
Chenguang raised his eyes and looked at him, showing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Chang Xi smiled slightly.
Chenguang changed his posture again, and said slowly: "The current Cangqiu country must be very cold......
"Your Royal Highness, I just received the news that the Chiyang Kingdom and the Cangqiu Kingdom were married a few years ago, and Princess Leyang of the Chiyang Kingdom and the pro-Cangqiu Kingdom became the regent concubines of the Cangqiu Kingdom."
Chenguang was slightly stunned, stared at him for a while, and asked:
"Side concubine?"
"Yes, Concubine." Chang Xi replied with a smile.
Chenguang rubbed the tip of his chin, tilted his head and thought for a moment, his pink lips slowly curled:
"Interesting, the Chiyang Kingdom has also begun to drop prices!"
If it was the Chiyang Kingdom in the past, their princess would not be a side concubine no matter what.
"There's another anecdote." Chang Xi said slowly.
"Odd news?" Chenguang raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"It's also news from Chiyang Country, Si Xuerou died violently, only saying that he was suffering from a malignant acute disease, and after the person died, he was burned, and the cause of death was not found out by our people, and there was no ashes and graves."
Chenguang held his head, thought for a while, and asked, "Didn't the Chiyang Kingdom send someone to report?" ”
"Nope."
A hint of vigor flashed in Chenguang's lazy eyes, and she sneered:
"This Chiyang Kingdom really doesn't understand the rules, it's my sister, my sister died violently in another country, and the Chiyang Kingdom actually burned people directly without saying a word, so urgent, I don't know that I thought it was their Chiyang Kingdom that killed the princess of Fengming Kingdom. Hmph, a wild dog is a wild dog, there are no rules at all! ”
Chang Xi curled the corners of her lips slightly, and did not speak.
Chenguang looked at him and asked with interest, "What kind of princess is that Princess Leyang?" ”
"I heard that she is a gentle and virtuous princess who values both wisdom and beauty." Chang Xi replied with a smile.
Chenguang pursed his lips: "I heard that I can't do it accurately, I am still 'gentle and virtuous, and I attach equal importance to wisdom and beauty'." ”
"Your Highness is 'gentle and virtuous, with equal emphasis on wisdom and beauty'." Chang Xi said with a smile.
Chenguang was pleased, and she laughed.
"If it's really a good princess, it's really cheap Yan Ying." She rubbed her chin and smiled, but a hint of yin poison flashed in her eyes, "However, I'm not happy to be cheap." ”
"Yes." Chang Xi responded with a chuckle.
……
Cangqiu Country.
Yicheng.
Even at the beginning of spring, Yicheng has not escaped the cold of winter. On the streets of Xiaosuo, except for the poor people who had to go out to work in order to earn a living, there were those horse-drawn carriages that hurried by, and kept warm.
Yicheng, which is shrouded in cold, is very quiet, but there is a place that is lively in all seasons, that is, the flower street in the outer city of Yicheng.
The snow piles on both sides, but the street in the middle is clean, and the blue brick road covered with damp snow is chiseled with exquisite patterns, and the road is lined with exquisitely decorated Qin Lou Chu Pavilion. Young women in brocade jackets and cotton skirts dressed up in fancy clothes, smiling flatteringly under the porch on the second floor or in front of the main entrance, attracting guests who are not rich or noble.
The cost of Flower Street is expensive, and ordinary people can't get in, even if they do, it is unknown whether they can go out again after spending a lot of money.
The girls in the flower building are all exquisite, and the quality of a flower house and the quality of the oiran in this flower house can be seen from the clothes and smiling behavior of the girls who solicit customers.
The most famous in the flower street is the "Spring Garden", the Spring Garden is at the end of the Flower Street, the flower buildings of other houses are on the east and west sides, only the Spring Garden sits in the north and faces the south facing the flower street full of charming style.
The lanterns at the entrance of the spring garden are different from others, it is the design of the imitation palace lamp, it is not extinguished all the year round, and the three big characters of "the spring garden" on the lantern are eye-catching.
Dare to openly hang imitation palace lanterns in the flower street must have a background in the court, like this kind of blatant prohibition, people with a general background in the court and the middle of the country dare not do it, people have speculated that this most famous spring garden in the Cangqiu country is likely to be the regent's industry. But this was only speculation, and no one dared to ask the regent for confirmation.
The garden is a well-known brothel, it is not new, it has been around for many years, and the owner has changed generations.
The original Oiran of the Spring Garden is named Xu Qingwan, and it is said that this woman is elegant in writing, Tongyin rhythm, can poetry and painting, and has quite a lot of demeanor, empathetic, clear and moving, attracting the celebrities of Cangqiu Country to flock to it, and bring a group of Jiangnan beauty under his hands, which makes the Spring Garden famous Cangqiu country.
To this day, the head of the spring garden, the Oiran Yunmei, is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, tea ceremony, and flowers, and her face is more charming than the previous Oiran, not only the dignitaries and nobles of the Cangqiu country are its guests, but also many people from other countries come here just to see the beauty.
The spring garden is not like other flower buildings, the warblers and swallows in front of the door compete to attract customers, and no one greets the door of the spring garden, only the red door is wide open. Behind the high walls, elegant buildings are intertwined, and the sound of silk and bamboo is intertwined with the soft chanting of women.
All kinds of luxury carriages are neatly arranged outside the gate of the Spring Garden, although there are no signs, but at a glance at the style, you can know that they must be high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing.
The most gorgeous box in the Spring Garden.
Yan Ying was wrapped in a thick silver fox fur, and the purple dress showed a lace under the fox fur, and he lazily leaned on the couch covered with thick bear skin, sipping a glass of three-flavor wine.
He is afraid of the cold, very afraid of the cold, but Cangqiu Country is the coldest place, let him live in the coldest place for a winter, he is very resentful, he can't freeze alone, so he sent an invitation post in advance, he wants Chenguang to come over in advance to feel the cold winter.
If she is fooled, she will be so angry that she wants to kill him, but her murderous spirit will be frozen in the cold.
Yan Ying thought like this, a smile appeared in his eyes, he was very happy, and torturing her was something that made him comfortable and happy.
Yun Mei, who was adding charcoal to the hand stove, inadvertently saw the smile in his eyes, slightly stunned, and her heart was pounding, and she didn't know why the master was so happy. She covered the stove, put it on a silk cover, walked over, knelt down, and offered it to Yan Ying.
Yan Ying didn't look at her, took the stove and hugged it in her arms.
Yun Mei, who was kneeling on the ground, had red cheeks.
