Chapter Forty-Six: Let's Enter the Palace Together
Yun Riqi sighed and said, "Actually, the eldest lady is taking care of it herself. The villain just does what his master tells him to do. If it is inconvenient for the master to come forward, the villain will come forward on his behalf. ”
"A ten-year-old girl can support such a big industry, and she must have suffered a lot."
Speaking of the eldest lady, Yun Riqi was also full of reverence and pride. "The master has been a prodigy since he was a child, and he has never forgotten it, and when he was very young, he was able to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics backwards. The key is not only well-read, but also ice and snow smart. ”
Although Zhao Ting didn't know much about Yun Moxi, it could be seen from looking at how she handled things on weekdays, and he couldn't help but nod approvingly.
The more Yun Riqi said, the happier he became, "When the old man and lady passed away together, everyone was very worried. Unexpectedly, the eldest lady has not only managed the Yun family's business in an orderly manner over the years, but also prospered much more than back then. It is not in vain that the old master has cultivated since childhood. ”
"Old master? The last time I visited Yunfu, I heard the housekeeper mention it. ”
"Oh......" Yun Riqi realized that he was talking too much, and looked ahead, "Cuixiangju has arrived." Your Highness rests early, and if you need anything, you should tell your subordinates. The villain retired. ”
"Thank you, Brother Riqi." Zhao Ting knew that he didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask more and walked towards the small courtyard.
Yun Riqi hugged his fists and turned to leave.
Zhao Ting turned around and looked at his back. This Yun Riqi is shrewd and cautious, and his martial arts don't seem to be weak. What's more, there is also the mysterious man in black, I didn't expect Yun Moxi's subordinates to be so good.
Take a look at this tea tobacco shop, not to mention the daily progress and gold, just holding nearly half of the dignitaries and dignitaries of Shu Kingdom. Connections and news from all parties can also be grasped.
What's more, the Yun family also has business in all walks of life in Shu Kingdom.
It's just that Shu already has such a huge force. And what about in the Great Song and other countries?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ting suddenly felt that this Yun family was like an invisible kingdom. It has firmly covered the entire Central Plains.
remembered that the imperial brother sent the third brother to the Yun family before, wanting to unite. I don't think so, but now my personal experience is a different experience.
"Yangzhou Cloud, Guigu Book, both, the world is unified!" This rumor jumped out of my heart. At that time, I and the third brother felt ridiculous when we heard it, and the unification of the world relied on battlefield fighting, but I didn't expect that I would reflect on this matter today.
It seems that if the Great Song Dynasty wants to dominate the world, the power of the Yun family must be used.
Zhao Ting was a little enlightened, smiled slightly, and turned around and entered the small courtyard.
Early the next morning, Yun Moxi came out and saw Zhao Ting and Yun Riqi waiting in the hospital.
I saw that he was wearing a blue brocade robe, with a simple jade crown tied in his hair, and he was usually heroic and mighty, but today he looks elegant and gentle.
Seeing Yun Moxi, he smiled and said, "How does Moxi look at this king's dress?" Lucky's deputy isn't bad, right? ”
Yun Moxi nodded, "Only His Highness who has been wronged will be a person of the Yun family today, named Yun Chenqi, if you ask, you will say that it is the new shopkeeper of the silver number!" ”
"Well thought out, it's a good name!" Zhao Ting praised.
She said with a smile: "Everything must be thoughtful, in case there is a mistake, the Yun family can't afford to pay a prince." ”
Zhao Ting saw that although she was not dressed up ceremoniously today, after all, she was entering the palace to face the saint, and her clothes were more formal than usual, with a little powder. A pale pink dress. is becoming more and more dignified and gorgeous, and people can't take their eyes off it for a while.
Yun Riqi said over there: "Master, the carriage is ready." ”
"Okay, let's go!"
Ligu said with some reluctance: "Girl, let the slave go with you!" Slaves and maids are not at ease! ”
"Even if you go with you, you can only wait outside the palace gate, and you can't face the saint with too many people. We'll be back soon, it's fine! Yun Moxi patted her hand lightly for comfort, turned away, and Zhao Ting and Yun Riqi followed.
Ligu's face was full of worry, but she thought that her master's arrangement was never wrong, and she was a little relieved.
Yun Moxi rode in the carriage, Yun Riqi and Zhao Ting rode in front of the carriage, and his three guards and some domestic slaves of the Yun family followed behind the carriage.
Yun Yueqi also pretended to be a slave and followed behind the carriage.
Zhao Ting noticed him, but he just saw that he lowered his head and didn't look at himself much, so he didn't know.
The group slowly walked towards the palace.
The street is full of traffic, full of hibiscus flowers and various varieties of flowers, lively and prosperous.
It's just that as soon as the people saw the luxurious carriages and horses, they thought that the dignitaries were coming, and they hurriedly dodged, with a panicked face, and a deep fear in their eyes.
In front of a small grocery store on the side of the road, a young boy hits the hibiscus tree in front of the door with a small stick.
The mouth was tender and tender: "Hack you, hack you." Hate you, hack you to death. ”
Seeing a luxury car passing by the door, a woman rushed out of the grocery store, like a child's mother.
saw Zhao Ting riding on a tall horse staring at his son.
The woman was so frightened that she hurriedly rushed forward, picked up her son and ran to the store.
While running, he slapped the little boy's ass with his hand and scolded in a low voice, "You dead child is really in trouble, the hibiscus tree can't be beaten." You want to kill the whole family, I'm mad. See if your dad comes back and won't beat you. ”
"Why is this woman making such a fuss?" Zhao Ting asked a little puzzled.
Yun Riqi on the side looked around, leaned over and whispered, "Your Highness, do you know why this city is called Furong City?" ”
"Probably because of the abundance of hibiscus flowers here!"
"In the past, there were no hibiscus flowers here, and the government forced the people to plant them. And every family must take care of it, but if the hibiscus tree dies, the whole family will be guilty, and the worst will be beheaded. ”
"What kind of bullshit decree is this! Human life is not as good as flowers? And why do you force the people to plant hibiscus? ”
Yun Riqi sneered in a low voice: "Presumably His Highness has also heard that Concubine Xu Hui likes hibiscus flowers. Meng Chang smiled for the Pomeranians and ordered the Shu Kingdom to plant hibiscus all over the country. Especially in this capital, every family must grow hibiscus inside and outside the city. Fortunately in the city, especially the people outside the city were expropriated from cultivating land and could not grow crops. I only dare to suffer in my heart and move elsewhere. ”
Zhao Ting remembered the scene on the day he entered the city, and he thought the same at the time, but he didn't expect it to be the case. "This Meng Chang is so ridiculous, he doesn't care about the lives of the people, he really seeks his own death."
People from other places ridiculed this behavior and jokingly called this place Hibiscus City. When Meng Chang learned about this, he was not only not angry but also very proud, thinking that it was a good name, and finally simply renamed the capital city Furong City. ”
Zhao Ting thought to himself: "This is just right, the more mediocre and corrupt this Meng Chang is, the easier it will be to attack Shu in the future." ”
After walking for half an hour, they arrived outside the palace.
The forbidden army defending the siege city checked the waist card and sent people in to pass it on, and it didn't take long for a eunuch to come out.
Seeing them, Jian asked in an arrogant and sharp voice, "Are you the people of the Yun family?" ”
"Yes, the grass people received the holy decree and came to meet the emperor today." Yun Riqi said, handed over a list of people from the Yun family, and covered with a silver ingot, and stuffed it into the hands of the eunuch.
The eunuch stuffed the silver into his sleeve with one hand, took the roster with the other, didn't look at it, and said arrogantly: "You can't enter the carriage and horses in the palace." Come with me! ”
At this time, Yun Moxi had already gotten out of the carriage and made a look at everyone. Yun Riqi and Zhao Ting followed her, and Zhao Ting's three guards and Yun Yueqi carried a few boxes with the house slaves and followed them into the palace.
