Chapter Ninety-Five: Cui Zongzhi
The sky was bright, the mist had not dispersed, and there were two small green cloth sedan chairs in the Tang Mansion that took advantage of the mist to go out.
The wind dew of Yi Rongcheng Mama quietly lifted the curtain, and there was a pair of extremely shrewd eyes on her round and red face, and she avoided the big court meeting today, there were not many officials on the road, and the merchant with the flat shoulder was also soliciting business in the distance, and even the shopkeeper who opened the store also yawned, faintly with some face fragrance, and the rice fragrance came, mixed with the smell of meat and vegetables.
Fenglu lowered the curtain, her lips were pursed, and her complexion was not good.
Feng Xia is good at disguise, but Feng Xia is not good at communicating with people, she is afraid of being trapped, and although she is good at concealing her kung fu, she has a lot of kung fu and light skills in her hands, and today Tang Yue thought a lot before she picked Feng Lu and sent Tang Yu to Bailu Temple.
There are two identical sedan chairs, only one is Tang Jin's hiding place, Fenglu and the three housekeepers of the Tang Mansion have a sedan chair for each person, and there are sixteen people around them.
Everything seemed to be calm, but Fenglu always felt that something was about to happen.
Touching the soft sword tied around his waist, Fenglu's heart calmed down slightly.
Out of the gate of the capital, go to the mountain road, on the way to the Bailu Temple, there is a place to form a gourd mouth, the front is narrow and the back is wide in the middle bundle, there is a mountain cliff in front of it, and the water flow is turbulent below.
Tang Yue...... Before that, it was the life of jumping off the cliff.
The road is not narrow, the abbot of Bailu Temple with the monks, the surrounding farmers, the road is flat and good, can accommodate two horse-drawn carts to go together. It's not a problem to bring some mountain goods with you.
"Big brother, when are we going to do it?" The Tang Mansion group led the way far ahead, followed by ten strong men in ordinary clothes, pulling three flat cars, I don't know what they were loaded, a bunch of bulging sacks.
The leader was a beard-like person, glanced at the person who was asking next to him, and all the evil qi was inflicted on the other party, seeing the other party's two trembling waves, he bowed his head and respectfully asked the scribe who seemed to be waiting for someone next to him, that person was dressed in splendor, but it was not like a person all the way to this group of five big and three rough people.
"Master, when will you do it? The man took two steps forward, as if asking for directions from a stranger, and no one cared.
The scribe shook his fan, his eyes were in the distance, and the Tang Mansion and his party were almost out of sight, and told the man, "The master said, hide this matter, and don't let the Tang family know about it first, so the matter should be small rather than big, follow from a distance first, and take people away when they return." ”
"But the abbot of Bailu Temple...... Even the prince can't see the depths, let's kidnap people in his territory, is it appropriate?" The beard is full of worries, it's not that he's afraid of things, it's just that if things are not done well, it will not be good if he falls behind in the master's place.
The scribe looked at him like a fool, "Why do you think I want to leave the house?" He couldn't mention it with one hand, and he couldn't resist it, so why did he run here and mix with this group of big men?
The bearded man suddenly realized, and he was busy smiling, and just wanted to say something, when he caught a glimpse of a firewood seller walking towards him, and thanked him loudly, and his words and deeds were very rough, "Thank you, Mr. for showing the way!"
"Brothers, let's go!" the bearded man beckoned to a few brothers, pulled the flat car and left.
The scribe still shook the folding fan gently, his face was calm, and the blue shirt on his body was embroidered with cyan bamboo leaves.
In the Tang Mansion mansion, the maids and maids have long been shuttling back and forth, preparing the master's ironed clothes, preparing the master's breakfast, going out, cleaning the paths, and pruning flowers and trees.
The corner door on the side was opened, and the little guy carrying the vegetables, fruits, vegetables and meat for a day entered from the corner door, quietly, there was a person dressed as a short boy, and he turned around and went to the second gate, bypassing the garden and hiding from the maid carrying all kinds of things, and went to the back house, Tang Yue's courtyard.
Tang Yue didn't wake up until the morning, after washing, he went to the outer courtyard to find the two brothers to have breakfast, who knew that just after breakfast, one by one ran faster than the rabbit, Tang Yue's forehead jumped, and he went back to his small courtyard decisively, fortunately, the second brother remembered to take the account book and go out before leaving, this season has passed, and it has completely entered the summer, and he has to discuss with Jiang Yanshan what tricks to play this year.
I heard that there are people in the Jiangnan area who collect rice, and he also plans to sell some of the old rice he had hoarded at home before and move some seats for this year's new rice.
Tang Long is not worried at all that there is no rice to eat at home after the rice is sold, there are hundreds of acres of fertile land waiting at home, how can there be no rice, but most of the plants are what they like, and the rest are also high-quality pearl rice.
Seeing that the three of their brothers and sisters were about to show filial piety, although Tang Long didn't want to admit it, the eldest brother said that there was a chance that there would be nine times out of ten...... Daddy will continue the strings.
Tang Hu opened his mouth, this eight or nine times out of ten is no different from one hundred percent.
Tang Long...... Well, his opinion doesn't matter.
Continuation or something, there must be someone in the officialdom to play Tai Chi for my father in the lady's group, and someone also needs to come and go in the harem, their family says it well, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and if it is not good, if the emperor wants you to get off the horse, you have to get off the horse! What's more, the emperor's suspicion is getting worse and worse, Tang Long guessed some from the eldest brother's words, and he has to leave a way back for the family's big and young, old and young.
Not to mention...... If Tang Hu wants to enter the officialdom, it will definitely be the imperial examination a year later, and there is no need to question his talent, once he enters the officialdom, his road is far easier than Tang Hu, and he can go further, but ...... The emperor would never allow the two fathers and sons of the Tang family to be in Kyoto together!
Thinking of this, Tang Long sighed silently, he still had to hurry up and toss business, this porcelain business is easy to do, recently Jiang Yanshan's blue glaze is also very good, and the bead-walking plate is also very good, sell it to Jiangnan, exchange for tea, silk satin, and trade it with fur and medicinal materials in the north, salt and iron in the west, and pearls in the east......
The caravan went far, and his intelligence was far.
Tang Long is also wondering whether to let Jiang Yan go up to the top of the mountain, once Ah Yue gets married and the eldest brother enters the court, he can't stand up in the eyes of the emperor, it is too dazzling, and he will die quickly.
Tang Long was very thoughtful, but Tang Long forgot to say a word about people...... It's better to count the day. Under the calculations of Xi Concubine Cui Zongzhi, it is really unknown how long the emperor's body can last.
Although Chongguang has grown, he is still too young, and he is only four years old.
It was Tang Yue who walked back to the courtyard in a hurry, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw a wind chime in a verdant dress in front of her room.
The wind chimes under the corridor rang crisply, and the wind chimes under the corridor smiled leisurely.
"Wind chimes have seen the girl. ”
Yang Liu also laughed, and Banxia also smiled.
Tang Yue smiled lightly and asked, "What's going on?"
"Fortunately, I was not dishonored. Feng Chime laughed wantonly, since King Ping left, she also broke her heartstrings, at this moment Tang Yue is the backbone, secretly arranged to respond, but it can be regarded as relaxed, push open the door, invite Tang Yue in, when she looked up again, she saw that Tang Ying's room on the side had clothes fluttering, flashing fast, as if she had been peeping at their conversation, Feng Chime frowned.
After closing the door and walking into the inner room, the wind chime replied, "The big boss plans to take people to Jiangnan in person to buy tea." ”
Tang Yue nodded, "That's the former advisor of King Xianping, I'm relieved." ”
"Girl, when I came back, I saw that some wealthy families were slowly moving north from Jiangnan, and it seemed that the situation in Jiangnan was tense. It's just that time is pressing, and I don't dare to explore it in detail. ”
Tang Yue knocked on the table, and had countless thoughts in his heart, "It's okay, now that someone can come out, it proves that the Jiangnan area is not very tightly controlled, Wuxing and An Xian together, think of anything that can also be good and avoid evil." "Tang Yue is very trusting of Su Wuxing, her ability is really extraordinary, she can be the boss of the heavenly supervisor and the person in charge, how bad can her ability be? What's more, since ancient times, all those who have achieved things are the right time and place and the people are all occupied, she can't count the location, and if the dream Wuxing can be counted as the time, then she will seek peace with Bai Li!
"In the Jiangnan area, there must be someone behind it, and there will be chaos in a short time. Tang Yue is sure that if they really want to rebel and do such things that persecute the people's livelihood, they will not be able to occupy it, will the time come...... The new rice has not come out, the price of the old rice has been reduced, they have received rice at such a high price to prove that there is no shortage of money, and the salt and iron in the west should also be related, the back cover of King He is in the west, which is the place where the salt and iron are produced, King Rui has been operating in Jiangnan for many years, but unfortunately he died early, and the remaining Qin Su and the two sons who were let go did not have such great courage...... It is not surprising that King He should be making trouble behind his back, but there should be Qin Su or the second child as a puppet in his hand, or ...... Heh, Tang Yue sneered, the second child ran fast and far, and An Xian said earlier that the person seemed to have returned to the country of Hiro, so it should be Qin Su. King He is not stupid, he is raising troops now, and the successor is powerless, and there is no money to feed the war with war, but there is no food, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.
It should be the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, when the grain will be harvested before it is harvested.
"Girl, there is your letter. "Feng Xia is outside the door.
"Come in. Tang Yue frowned, her letter?
"Two letters, one is from Aunt Fang of Pingwangfu, and the other is only written by you. Feng Xia presented two letters, one was bulging, it should be an invitation, and the other was fluttering.
Tang Yue opened the thick one, and sure enough, it was an invitation, and Aunt Fang invited her to come over to the house to enjoy the flowers and eat tea. Tang Yue's eyebrows were almost invisible and sneered, the layout had been for so long, could it be regarded as a magnification move? Looking at the other one, Tang Yue's face sank.
Cui Jia......
Cui Zongzhi.
Even if she is not very familiar with the Cui family, she has heard this name from the ears of her two uncles.
Zongzhi is a chic and beautiful young man, looking at the blue sky with white eyes, as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind.
"Yang Liu, prepare the horse, go to Sweet Water Lane to Shuyuxuan. Tang Yue stood up with her sleeves folded, her eyebrows were facing the early sun, showing a burst of inviolable majesty, her sleeves were lightly raised, and her body was clear, as if she was an immortal.
Inviolable.
Angry and hidden.
When I arrived at Shuyuxuan, everything was as usual, nothing unusual, but there was already a little girl in green cloth waiting at the door, and when he saw Tang Yue, he stepped forward and saluted with a smile, and stretched out his hand to lead to the private room on the second floor, "Miss Tang, my son-in-law is waiting for you on the second floor." ”
Tang Yue raised his eyebrows, the face hidden under the curtain was not obvious, and Yang Liu naturally stepped forward to return the salute, "Brother Lao is leading the way." ”
The little guy led Tang Yue to a private room at the corner of the second floor, pushed open the door, and invited Tang Yue in.
The light is good, the north and south are transparent, the door is planted with green bamboo, the side of the inner window is the copper crane incense burner, the incense is not lit, only the tea fragrance is dyed on the side of the placket, and then after that, it is the beautiful boy with the brocade clothes and jade crown.
It is worthy of the time when people write poems, and it is difficult to have a false name under the fame.
Bright as a jade tree before the wind. Not a word of exaggeration.
"You're here. He chuckled and invited her to take a seat, smiling familiarly, as if they were reuniting old friends.
Tang Yue didn't shirk either, took down the curtain and handed it to Yang Liu to put away, and knelt opposite him like him.
He poured tea for her, flowing clouds and water, the light cyan tea soup was like jasper, and the aroma invaded the air inch by inch, and even the breath seemed to be the fragrance of tea.
"I should have come to see you early, but I was riddled with things, but it dragged on until now, and I hope Sister Yue won't be surprised. He raised his glass, a few strokes on the plain white porcelain cup outlined a half-open pink lotus, at a glance it is a masterpiece, he held it in his hand, the fingers with distinct bones were slender and elegant, and he couldn't tell whether the fingers were whiter or the porcelain cup was whiter. ”
His eyes were elegant and calm, full of sincerity, and Tang Yue was not easy to refuse, but he ...... She smiled leisurely and blurted out the sly words "In this cup of tea...... There's no medicine, right?"
Cui Zongzhi seemed surprised: "Why did my sister say this?"
Tang Yue took the cup and played with it in his hand, his eyebrows playful, "Didn't my brother let Tang Ying put medicine in my diet?"
Cui Zongyi smiled, taking off those gentle appearances, he was like a god above the nine heavens, compassionate and indifferent, "My sister is really smart." "It seems to be a sigh, and it seems to be a regret" Huiji will be hurt, my sister should be careful. ”
Tang Yue was not afraid of him, and sneered, his eyes sparkling, "Brother's words...... It's really tormenting my sister. My sister is just a touch of fire, how can she compare with my brother's bright moon?"
"As for this wise and hurtful word, my sister really can't bear it. ”
When the two were talking, there was no maid by their side, and at this time, they could be regarded as having their own edges, and they did not show weakness at all.
"Isn't my sister afraid?" Cui Zongzhi smiled heartily and transparently, "The poison of a thousand machines, the entrance is in the heart, if there is no antidote, you will definitely die within a year, there is no flaw, no one can find out." ”
"Just because you can't find it doesn't mean you don't know. "Tang Yue plays with this teacup" is like this cup, where the soil, where the glaze, where the people make the embryos, who paints, and who sells, there are all traces to follow. ”
"There is no trace, isn't it the biggest trace?" Tang Yue pursed his lips and smiled.
"What's more, if my brother really wanted to take my life, I was afraid that Tang Ying would have died violently, let alone tell me that I was poisoned. ”
Cui Zongzhi praised: "No wonder King Ping cares about you so much." "It's no worse than Wang Yu, such a character was born as a child of the Cui family.
"My brother praised it. "Tang Yue is very modest" Brother didn't catch any traces and let Tang Ying be a puppet, and then get an Aunt Li, if it weren't for the accident, I am afraid that my sister will now have an extra stepmother. ”
"That's not as powerful as someone who can have a son in the Pingwang Mansion. Cui Zongzhi meant something, and he was satisfied to see Tang Yue's fingertips tremble.
"The matter of the Ping Wangfu, who else has this ability. Tang Yue was full of emotion.
"Come to think of it, there are countless secret sons of the Tang family. ”
"No" Cui Zongzhi shook his head, "The Tang family has no secret sons, but the future mother of the Tang family must be his." ”
"Even, Li Ru's affairs have his handiwork. "He's just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.
"What about the Cui family?" Tang Yue suddenly became a little curious.
"The same is true of the four. "Cui Zong's jaw head" is all over the world, and it is not the king's land. ”
Tang Yue knew clearly, on the shore of the land, could it be the king's minister......
"Brother is here, what is the matter with me?" Seeing that the time was not early, Tang Yue had no intention of pestering more, there were many ears and eyes, so it was better to be careful, "You didn't really come to taste tea, did you?"
"Naturally, I have a business to discuss with my sister. Cui Zongzhi's smile did not decrease, and he passed over with his ears, and the fragrance of blue musk was sprayed between Tang Yue's ears and nose between the exhales, but she was calm and silent.
After whispering, Cui Zongzhi sat up straight, and Tang Yue sighed lightly, "Brother's move is really bold." ”
"It is finished, I will offer this antidote with both hands. Cui Zongzhi was not in a hurry.
Tang Yue was even more anxious, "In this way, I have to respond?"
Cui Zongzhi smiled and shrugged his shoulders, he was originally light and thin, but he had a good skin.
Tang Yue hooked his lips, "Then my eldest brother...... How is my brother going to explain?"
"One horse is not worthy of double saddles, and my brother sells two goods, this abacus is not easy to fight. ”
"One family and one surname, it's not difficult, it's not difficult. Cui Zongzhi's folding fan shook lightly, smiling.
