Chapter 88: The Nine Sons of the Banker
Silk thread? Chu Brew came back to his senses, put down the things in his hand and got up: "Just need to use it." Zi Woo Ko om"
Chijin nodded: "I'm going to the West City Gate, the carriage is outside, and I'll give you a ride by the way." ”
is not deliberate and undiligent, and a frank and unrestrained sentence does not give people any reason to refuse.
Hatsuzo gathered up his emotions, wrapped himself in a cloak and followed him out, it was bitterly cold outside, there were not many people on the street, and many shops were half-closed. But the door of the silk thread shop on West Street was open, and the man stood at the door waiting, seeing her coming. He bowed down and said, "Is the girl looking at the goods?" Our store is newly opened, and there are many good products. ”
Looking back at Chijin, he bowed his head at her, lowered the curtain and left.
Xu Chuzhuo didn't think much about it, followed the guy into the store, picked out some beautiful silk threads, and raised his eyes to see a notice posted on the wall.
"Does the girl know how to tie up?" The guy smiled, "This is our shopkeeper's post, saying that as long as someone can make a delicate and wonderful knot with the ten-colored silk thread in our store, then they will give a piece of priceless purple jade, you see." ”
He took out a box and opened it: "It's this piece of jade." ”
Looking down, Xu Chuzhuo gasped in fright.
The purple jade with good color is engraved with auspicious patterns, and only one more rope can be used as an ornament.
Although the princess's mansion gave her monthly money every month, she was meritless and embarrassed to take the flowers. In a few months, Huaiyu should give birth, and she has been embarrassed. I don't know what to give. At the moment, this thing is a good thing, if she can earn it, she won't be worried.
His eyes lit up, and Xu Chuzhuo asked the guy, "What kind of network is exquisite?" ”
The guy said: "The girl will fight big, how complicated the pattern is, as long as the heart is sincere." It will definitely impress the shopkeeper. ”
After thinking about it, I went to the back of the counter and took a few pictures to her: "Look at the girl's face, I'll give you these." ”
Thanking him again and again, Chu Brew took it and looked at it, the patterns on the picture are good, there is a big red picture, and the patterns are the most complex and festive.
That's it!
With a thought in her heart, she didn't care too much about the side things, so she hugged the silk thread and went out and planned to walk back.
"Miss Xu." Lu Jingxing's voice sounded behind him.
Chu Brew was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, the shopkeeper Lu Da seemed to be going back to the princess's mansion, sat in the carriage and smiled at her: "It's such a cold day, you better go back with me." ”
As he spoke, he asked the coachman to put down the low stool.
was already afraid of the cold, Xu Chuzhuo didn't refuse too much, got into the car and shrunk in the corner in a proper manner, thanked him with a smile, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm lucky today." ”
Lu Jingxing's phoenix eyes smiled and looked at her fixedly.
He was going to the west of the city, but he met someone halfway, twisted the front of his car and spun around, so that he could come and help send him off.
"Does Miss Xu know what Chijin's previous surname was?" Thinking that this thing was really interesting, Lu Jingxing couldn't help but open his mouth.
Chu Brew shook his head: "Lord Chijin doesn't seem to mention his own affairs. ”
"That's how humble he is." The jade bone fan turned slightly, and Lu Jingxing sighed. "If you are someone else, you were born in a Jiangnan banker, but you have to brag about it."
Gangnam dealer? Xu Chujiu raised his eyes in shock: "Zhuang Beihe? ”
"You've heard of it, too?" Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrows, thought about it, nodded and said, "That's right, he has some friendship with General Xu." ”
Zhuang Beihe commanded the martial arts, and there was a conflict with the imperial court, at that time the Jiangnan Yamen had no way to take him, Xu Xian led the eldest princess to pass a trip, and the two somehow got acquainted, and later Zhuang Beihe accepted Zhao'an, and Xu Xian also sent congratulatory gifts all the way.
"Chijin is the ninth son of Zhuang Beihe, the name is cold, he is a little master who was pampered and grew up, who knows that he has hard bones, does not obey discipline, and goes out at the age of seventeen, jealousy and hatred are reckless and impulsive, offending many people. He didn't want to go back to the dealer's house, so General Xu tricked him into Feiyun Palace. ”
Xu Chuzhuo listened dumbfounded: "Deceive? ”
"Isn't it, take the rivers and lakes to learn, a local from the palace gate to Feiyun Palace, how simple Chijin was at the beginning, a local followed to pick up, after picking up, I found that there was a little girl with a crossed waist in front of me, and beat him up without saying a word."
Lu Jingxing actually didn't see this picture, he heard Xu Xian say it later, but thinking about it, he also felt that Li Huaiyu's bully appearance at that time must be very cute.
Smiling lowly, Lu Jingxing said: "If he wants to go back to the dealer now, he can go back immediately, after all, he has a serious official position, and he can be regarded as having an explanation for his family, but he refuses." ”
Xu Chuzhuo thought for a while and said, "He thinks he hasn't done enough." ”
After such a long period of contact, even if he didn't have a lot of heart-to-heart, Chu Brew could see that although Chijin was gentle and considerate, he was very strong in his bones, and he was very strict with himself, and he could often be seen practicing swords outside when he got up early in the morning. Do everything carefully before you do it. Once there is any mistake, it must avoid everyone and blame yourself for a long time.
For him, a decent official position was far from enough to bring him home to face his famous father.
Lu Jingxing said jokingly: "I don't know if I was impressed by the eldest princess's trap when I entered the palace, and then there were more red gold methods, and now the group of people in Feiyun Palace don't dare to provoke him, for fear of being tricked by him." ”
"Huh?" Speaking of this, Xu Chuzhuo disagreed, "How can he set people up?" ”
It's clearly a very kind and simple person!
Looking down at the silk thread and diagram she was holding in her hand, and then looking at her determined expression, Lu Jingxing unfolded his fan to block his face: "Well, it makes sense." ”
Young Master Zhuang Jiu, the next set has never been noticed by people.
Xu Chuzhuo felt that Shopkeeper Lu had a misunderstanding about Chijin, but she didn't have a position to say anything, after all, she and Chijin didn't have a deep friendship, so it was better to go back honestly.
Lu Jingxing sent her to the princess's mansion, but he didn't mean to get out of the car.
Hatsuzo asked curiously, "You're not going in?" ”
With a faint smile, Lu Jingxing said: "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so let's go back first." ”
Slightly stunned. Xu Chuzhu was stunned.
Since Ziyangjun and Huaiyu rebuilt, Shopkeeper Lu rarely seems to appear in the princess's mansion, he has a lot of shops, as well as the largest restaurant inn in the first-tier city, where to rest at will, Huaiyu is not worried.
Stand in the doorway and watch the curtain fall. Blocking his amorous eyes, Xu Chuzhuo suddenly remembered a poem that was popular in the capital back then:
Luan Grate did not return the people, and he was drunk and asleep for a full month.
Lu Da's shopkeeper had a Nanyang jade bone fan, which shattered the hearts of many beauties in Kyoto, and few people were looking for death and life for him, and recommended a pillow for him. But after so many years, why is he still alone?
This question, she took back to the main courtyard and went to ask Huaiyu.
Li Huaiyu smiled and leaned on the soft couch and replied: "He was too romantic when he was young, and he saw all the colors in the world, so he was tired of it." If you want him to start a family, unless there is a beauty who is better than him in color and the country and the city, where can he be tempted? ”
Ziyangjun looked at the paperwork quietly in the outer room, and the vermilion pen was stunned and fell a bright red.
Staring at the point, he pulled out the clean letter next to him and replaced the brush. Wrote a letter and handed it to Chengxu and asked him to send it out.
Li Huailin was having a headache about the severance of diplomatic relations at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and a person who was not long-sighted came up to say: "Your Majesty, if Weichen is not mistaken, the Eastern Jin Dynasty is now the auxiliary government of Baihuajun, and Baihuajun has a very close relationship with our Ziyangjun. ”
His face sank, and Li Huailin said: "Ziyangjun is reluctant to go back to Kyoto now, what else does Aiqing expect from others?" ”
The man had obviously just been transferred from outside Kyoto, and his face was full of confusion: "How could a person who is so polite not return to Kyoto?" Is there something difficult about it? ”
That's not all there is to say. He was taken out by the person next to him who covered his mouth.
Qi Han wiped the sweat from his forehead and arched his hand: "Your Majesty doesn't have to take it to heart. ”
Li Huailin sneered: "It's been so long, and there are still so many people who worship Ziyang Jun as a god. ”
"Freezing three feet, it will take a long time to melt." Qi Han said, "Ziyang Jun's prestige for many years has never done anything wrong. If you want to change the world's opinion, you can't rush it. ”
How can you not be in a hurry? The Imperial Sister and Ziyang-kun have both left Kyoto, and now as far as he can see, they are all in ruins. In the past, when he was not in power, the ministers never said that he was not at all, but respectfully asked him to become the court as soon as possible. It's good right now. No matter what he did, there were people who sighed in front of the eldest princess and Ziyang Jun in front of him, as if they felt that he was not qualified as an emperor.
How can these people's attitudes change so quickly?
In the end, he is still young, and his heart is unsettled. Li Huailin turned his head and asked, "Did the people over there in Pingling receive their orders?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, I got it, the Qin Cha had already arrived the day before yesterday, counting the days, I should have entered the first-tier city."
"Good." He said angrily, "Since the lords of the court miss the imperial sister so much, you might as well invite her back so that they can see each other." ”
Ning Guifei listened behind the screen and sighed silently.
A few days ago, when His Majesty was sick and burned in a daze, he still shouted "Sister Huang", but when he put on a dragon robe and stood here, he seemed to be a different person?
He is already an emperor and has everything, in fact, if he can let the eldest princess go, it will be a good thing for himself.
Unfortunately, she shook her head.
In the gloomy sky, black clouds overwhelmed the city and wanted to destroy it, and Qin Cha Jia Liang took Pingling's 1,000 troops. Holding aloft the sword of the imperial gift, he came to the first-line city with great dignity.
"My lord, I heard that the eldest princess of Danyang shā rén doesn't blink, so it's better for you to be careful." Someone next to him arched his hand.
With a chuckle, Jia Liang said: "I have already inquired clearly, there are no defenders in the first-line city." There are only a few mountain bandits in chaos, there are so many of us, are we still afraid of an eldest princess? Even if she moves reinforcements, there are more reinforcements behind us than her, and Pinglingjun will support her! ”
"But," the man whispered, "this city is also close to the Purple Sun." I've heard that Ziyang-kun seems to have come over too. ”
"Nonsense!" Jia Liang reprimanded, "Ziyang-jun is in the main city of Ziyang, how can he suddenly run to the first-tier city?" Besides, the king and the eldest princess of Danyang don't share the sky, who in the world doesn't know? He's here to help us, what are you afraid of? ”
Thinking about it, it seems that this is the truth, the pawn is silent, and the army continues to move forward. Jia Liang looked at the fragile city walls of the first-line city from afar, raised his chin high, and sent the people: "Go and ask them to open the city gate, if they don't open it, let's step over directly and level the city wall!" ”
The people behind him burst into laughter, and the people who called for the formation ran fast, and went to pass the word with a hippie smile.
The first-line city is poor, and the city gates look crumbling. Someone on the castle tower heard the shouting, stretched out his head to look at them, and said coldly, "No." ”
