Chapter 20 Ten Pearls of Snow
The deep voice echoed in the lobby, and the audience was silent, and after a while, a footstep came, and an exotic merchant with long beard and curly hair walked into the hall, and it was clear from the light purple eyes that he was from the purple people.
Zilai is a small border country located in the desert west of Qianling, with few soldiers and few people, and most of them make a living by panning for gold and doing business, and have always traded with the original dynasty.
Even if you are a wealthy businessman, the pearl ten pearls are by no means a small amount, and the ten pearls are by no means five thousand gold to measure. It was the whole people who were amazed and couldn't extricate themselves.
Yu Zijin and Yuan Yifeng looked at each other, walked to the window and looked downstairs.
Boss Hua of the Allure Building relieved himself and said with a smile: "This friend from a foreign land, dare to ask for his surname, such a big stroke, it really shocks us." β
The exotic man waved his hand and said in a slightly purple accent: "Don't dare to be generous, I just don't want you to spoil the portrait of such a beautiful girl, gold is the most common thing in our purple come, but pearl is precious, of course I have to exchange the most precious thing for such a beautiful girl." You are here to auction the portrait of a beautiful girl, but you exchange it for something that is regarded as dung by many people, if the price is too high, many people will say that this girl is a disaster, I really don't understand you Central Plains people, so I am willing to use my business remuneration this time to exchange for the portrait of this beautiful girl. β
After the exotic man finished speaking, many people present were already blushing, and in a moment a few purple men brought in a few large boxes, and after opening them, the boxes were full of pearls and dazzling, lighting up the eyes of the people present.
Yu Zijin stood at the window on the second floor with satisfaction and looked at the exotic merchant named Garcido, although the money obtained from the bidding was all for the relief of the people, but watching his portrait being bid and sold there, he was always a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, this Garcido appeared, pure and lovely.
Garcido took the scroll, nodded at the boss with satisfaction and left, although he returned at a loss this time, he could have an explanation for the first friend he made in the original dynasty.
Yuan Yifeng and Yu Zijin watched Garcido leave, Yu Zijin was satisfied, and Yuan Yifeng was even more satisfied, in fact, he wanted to order someone to buy this painting scroll at first, but then he thought about it, since there is a real person on the side, what is the use of wanting that picture scroll?
The world is like chess, and it is people who are in control. This moment is like a prophecy, the person who gets the picture scroll looks at the picture scroll for half a life, and the person who looks at the real person gets half a life to join hands.
"The Yu's Shuangshu and the city are the best in Beijing. The king is drunk when he walks and dances, and he has no intention of throwing ten pearls in the snow. β
After the exhibition of the painting of the national building, the reputation of the Yu's Shuangshu spread all over the north and south of the river, and the jade Zijin got a "snow lord" because of its graceful posture and standing in the snow, and even the Yu Ce in the busy schedule has heard of it, twisting the warm verses in his hand, Yu Ce smiled brightly, and the pride of "my family has a girl who has just grown up" is now on his face.
Ming Qinghui sat aside with his youngest son Yuyu, who had just turned one year old, and said with a smile: "Time flies so fast, Jin'er will be in time for next year, Lord Wang, it's time for us to choose a family affair for Jin'er." β
Because of Yu Haojie's matter, Ming and Qing Hui have a grudge against Yu Ce, but after so many things, she is no longer the naΓ―ve girl she was back then, Yu Ce loves her, she also loves Yu Ce, but Yu Ce also loves power, so for the sake of the remaining children, she can only endure.
Yu Ce loves Yu Zijin more than his son, and has sacrificed a daughter, Ming Qinghui knows that he should use this to fight for happiness for his daughter who only stays by his side.
It is said that "five men, two women and seven sons are reunited" is a sign of a rich person, since the birth of the youngest son, seven sons, God's favor for her can be said to have reached the extreme, she does not seek wealth and longevity to take the crown of ancient and modern times, but wishes the children a safe and smooth life, this life is extremely complete.
Yuce teased the cute and tender little son in the arms of Ming and Qing Hui, which made Xiao Yuyu giggle, "It's not too big for my daughter to stay until seventeen or eighteen and then get married, this king still wants to stay with Jin'er for two more years, you can look for a candidate first, let's settle down first, and then let Jin'er marry two years later." β
With Yuce's approval, Ming Qinghui nodded happily, "Actually, I already have a candidate in my heart, I just want to ask the prince." β
"Oh, who is it?"
Ming Qinghui handed Yuyu to the wet nurse, straightened the placket and said: "When Tian'er got married, the second sister once mentioned to me that Sa'er's child was interested, thinking that when Jin'er was older, let me ask her what she meant. Not to mention that our two families are close to each other, as far as Sa'er's personality and behavior are concerned, I think the prince and I can also be at ease. What's more, in the past two years, Jin'er has been taken care of thanks to Huanting, and Huanting has mentioned in my family letters many times that Qinghe Shizi and Jin'er have a very good relationship, and she intends to want to be a matchmaker for her younger brother, although I have only seen Qinghe Shizi a few times, but I also like this child very much. What does the prince think of these two people? β
"One is honest and upright, the other is as gentle as jade, his character and family background are the best choice, the person you choose is naturally good, and then ask Jin'er what he means." Yu Ce raised his hand and stroked the jade arm of Ming Qinghui, and said ashamedly: "Qinghui, I know that you have a grudge against me about Jie'er, but that is also helpless, don't worry, I will not be wronged by Jin'er again." β
Ming Qinghui shook his head with tears in his eyes, "Qinghui doesn't dare, the prince can be so attentive to Jin'er, Qinghui is already satisfied." β
He was helpless about that, but it was inevitable that some people's pillow wind, right? It's just that she pity her daughter and guards the deep palace, if she had known that Jie'er and King Linchuan were interested, she should have fought for her daughter's happiness.
Not long after, someone hurriedly came to invite, Yuce left without staying any longer, the situation has changed dramatically in the past two years, and he no longer has much leisure to enjoy the joy of family.
Two years ago, Yu Ce finally formed an alliance with Gongxi Yue to resist Hou Nankang, the battle of Guanxia, Hou Nankang's whole army was annihilated, Hou Kechun was hunted and killed by Yutian's full strength, and the bones of the fallen cliff were gone, and the area of Bonan was divided between Yu Ce and Gongxi Yue.
Although a complete victory, but a succession of large-scale use of troops and jade strategy also somewhat damaged the vitality, and Gongxi Yue was pierced through the heart by an arrow in the chaotic army, and died in a few days, soon after the Sichuan mutiny, Duanmu Ruihe Qing Yu Wen Zheng failed, but lost the position of the governor of the western Sichuan capital, fled in a hurry and there was no news, so far I don't know whether to live or die, and now the entire Sichuan West Army is in the hands of Yu Wen Zheng.
In the past, Yuce would not take Gongxi Yue in his eyes because of the existence of the Western Sichuan Army, but now the opponent has become Yu Wenzheng, the young man who gave him a sense of crisis, and the military genius who walked away in his hands.
Western Sichuan is poor, even if he swallows half of Hou Nankang's territory, his strength is not enough to be equal to him who occupies a rich land, and he can't destroy Yuwen Zheng for a while because of the dangerous terrain. In the situation that both sides are difficult to fight each other, Yuwen Zheng actually found another way, led the army to the west to completely wipe out the large and small Liukou in the north and south of southwest Sichuan, and its territory has now expanded to the northwest Rongya Mountain, and the 36 countries in the desert west of Qianling are only separated by a mountain, and one-third of the territory of the Dayuan Dynasty is in the palm of his hand. Such a character, after a few years of respite, has long become a problem for his henchmen.
From Yutian's letter, I learned that the original industry has become more and more restless recently, and his son's means Yu Ce believes it, the original industry has no soldiers and no rights, but he has a lot of eyes, and he almost destroyed the Yu family when he made waves, and 100,000 lonely souls buried their bones outside the capital, but they didn't let him learn to live in peace.
"Lord Wang, the prince is in a hurry."
Yu Ce quickly took the letter in the guard's hand, unfolded it, his slightly wrinkled forehead frowned even more, and his eyes were like fire.
"Send someone to fly pigeons to pass on the book, let the queen keep an eye on the emperor, if people come from the west of Sichuan, they will be released to meet!"
"Yes!"
"The wind blows at dusk, and the leaves fall on the branches. Dan's heart is inched, and the sorrow is unknown. β
In the slightly cool and comfortable scene, Yu Zijin sat alone on the stone steps in the courtyard, the cloud temples were fluffy, hanging obliquely on the side of the ear, a delicate silver step inlaid with green jade swayed and swayed on the bun and hung low, and the water-colored embroidered shirt and skirt were covered with a layer of green smoke and yarn, gentle and beautiful, and fairy and beautiful.
Every season she always seems to think of the same people.
"What's wrong, why is it so noisy outside?" Hearing a commotion outside the courtyard, Yu Zijin frowned.
A delicate maid came over with refreshments, it was Yu Zijin's personal girl Forsythia, she blinked helplessly, and said, "Back to the county lord, is it...... It was Lin Ji from Meiyuan who had a miscarriage, and she cried and asked the princess to make her the decision, which made the whole palace restless. β
Yu Zijin sighed, and ordered Forsythia to take some supplements to visit Lin Ji in the Plum Garden tomorrow, and he was also his nephew in the end, so it was a pity to lose his heart.
Although there is no parental restraint in Shangjing, Yutian is notoriously amorous, and the wives and concubines in the house are like clouds, and intrigue is a common thing, and even Yuzijin is sometimes noisy.
Hook heart and soul are hook and heart, but Yu Zijin believes that the county lord of Ting can handle it easily, at first she respected this sister-in-law, but later it completely turned into admiration. Whether it is in the face of her husband's romance or the jealousy of the woman in the backyard, the performance of the county lord is always dignified and generous, elegant and calm, in the eyes of Yu Zijin, the sister-in-law can be described as a hero among the women in the backhouse.
The next day's breakfast, Yu Zijin entered the door and saw that there was only one person sitting at the table, because Yu Ce took his wife and concubine and smaller children to Xianyang, and only Yu Zijin's brothers and sisters stayed in the Ningxiang Mansion in Shangjing, so that several people ate together every day, but Yutian's absence is a common thing, and even Yu Han is not here today.
"Sister-in-law, why isn't the second brother here?" Yu Zijin sat down and said.
A ghostly little head suddenly came in, he half leaned in front of the door and smiled evilly, imitating the voice of an adult, and said seriously: "There is a young man, isn't it okay?" β
Yu Zijin and the county lord of Pingting had shining eyes, and they looked at the elf boy with bright eyes happily, and said in unison: "Why are you here?" β
