Chapter 162: Biluo Huangquan lives up to its glory (1)
On the second day of the banquet from Cuihu, he set off to return to Yanlan City. This time when she came to Jingzhou, she didn't go to see Yun Xian, after all, he was Yun Muge's brother, and now his sister died in vain, and she was still under the open and secret persecution of people from all walks of life, and she really didn't know how to face Yun Xian.
Hurriedly came, hurried away, on the road is January again, and when I return to Yanlan City, it happens to be the first day of October. At this time, the construction period of the four arches given by King Mu has come to an end.
Entering the south gate of Yanlan City, you can see at a glance that there are four towering arches standing on the wide street, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word "majestic", its height and its width are gorgeous, looking at the north and south, it is the first in the world.
The high gate stone pillar of white marble, the whole body is transparent, the white bi holds the jade, the style of the four arches is not the same, although the form is different but it is extremely unified, only the gold lacquer gives the word has not been rubbed. The white jade pillars of each archway are carved with birds of different shapes, and there is no one that is the same. The picture of a hundred birds symbolizes good luck.
Out of Xiu deliberately ordered the carriage to stop in front of the four archways for a while, she lifted the curtain and looked up from afar, the white marble material in the molten gold sunlight flashed with an unusually transparent brilliance, the undulating carved texture refracted a ray of light, the token square burst out of the ethereal luster, like a heavenly gate to the fairyland.
At this time, the craftsmen were carrying out the final process - rubbing the inscription of Muwang Nie Peihan on the lintel. Looking up against the harsh sunlight, she didn't know how the craftsmen climbed onto the lintel, there was a lightness suspended in mid-air, but there was also a sense of danger leaning against the dangerous building.
Loyalty, integrity, kindness, chastity, four arches and eight characters, is the embodiment of all the glory of the Yun family. Out of Xiu suddenly remembered that he was twenty-one years old, and he could get a chastity archway at this age, which was really the promotion of King Mu.
The curtain was lowered, and the carriage rolled back on, passing under the four torii gates one by one. Sitting in the car, I could still hear the faint sound of admiration around me, probably marveling at the magnificence of the archway and the prestige of the Yun family.
Izuku knew that the glory she had been waiting for for a long time would gradually approach with King Mu's accession to the throne......
*****
On the first day of November, the four torii arches were officially completed. On the same day, a decree was passed down from the city of Jingzhou, and the regent Nie Peihan canonized Xiu as a "first-class protector lady", and then gave thousands of hectares of fertile land and countless pearls and jades. Taking advantage of this will, what was successively transported to Yanlan City was boxes of gold bars, which were forty percent of the assets that the regent borrowed from the Yun clan back then.
It turned out that when building the memorial arch, King Mu had mixed the gold bars in the white marble stone and transported it, and had been hiding in several warehouses in Lincheng, and sent heavy soldiers to guard it. Fangzhou is King Mu's own fiefdom, and it is not difficult to hide countless gold bars and ingots, but as soon as these four arches are completed, they will be transported into Yanlan City generously.
Izuku didn't ask King Mu where he got the money, but he also heard that he had found the treasure left by the Daxi Dynasty. The treasure of the dragon vein, which everyone has been fighting for for hundreds of years, has not been found by countless people who have died madly, but in the end, King Mu has found it. Perhaps this is the talent of the emperor.
Providence, no one can resist.
With the completion of these four torii arches, as well as the will and rewards of the regent of Nanxi, the name of Izuku has once again spread throughout the north and south. But the content of this rumor does not mean that she is unscrupulous, unscrupulous, and not good at housework; Rather, it means that she is far-sighted, scrutinizing, precise, and not letting her eyebrows go.
Why did the Yun family give up the Beixi industry back then, and why they closed the Qianzhuang Silver Account one after another, and now they have all been best explained - Mrs. Chuxiu spent a lot of money to support King Mu's accession to the throne, and she succeeded.
The surname "Yun", after hundreds of years of operation, has maintained its majesty, wealth and glory, and is the most legendary family since the founding of the Daxi Dynasty. How many people are red-eyed, waiting to see the decline of the Yun clan after the division between the north and the south, and waiting to see how the Yun clan makes a choice.
However, in the hands of Izuxiu, the Yun clan went through the most difficult moment and made the most correct choice in the turmoil of the north-south split. Beixi died, Beixuanqi rose, Chen Xuan died, and Nie Peihan was regent...... Everything has shown that the reunification of Kyushu will be completed in the hands of Nie Peihan.
Mrs. Xiu led the Yun clan to create new brilliance. The Yun family is about to become a prosperous family that has gone through two dynasties. Such glory, such a legend, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "unprecedented".
Since then, in the eyes of the world, Lixinhou Mansion has changed its former lonely and majestic image and become a hot rich and precious land. In the past, there were no people, and they all wanted to make friends with Mrs. Xiu, and even the newly appointed housekeeper Yun Feng became the object of scolding, and for a while, there was an endless stream of visits from the Xinhou Mansion.
"Now the cloud steward Xie Ke Xie is impatient, and he has to ask Zhuying to help him pick up the posts." He smiled lightly and stated the facts, and commented: "From this point of view, Yun Feng is not as good as his uncle, if he was the former housekeeper Uncle Zhong, just with a beard and experience, he could send those people away." ”
"Yun Zhong used to be the old marquis's companion, and he has been a housekeeper for decades, so he naturally has a good grasp of these things. Yun Feng is young after all, and he is a new appointer, and he can't be blamed for his lack of skills and entertainment. Out of Xiu opened her mouth to speak for Yun Feng.
Hearing this, he pouted: "It's also very embarrassing, I remember that when I met him a few years ago, he would even get the wrong account book, and he had to beg his wife and me to keep it secret for him...... Now in a blink of an eye, he has also become the housekeeper of Yunfu. ”
Yes, Izumi also remembered the scene when he saw Yun Feng for the first time, when he not only took the wrong account book, but also blushed when facing himself and Xinxin...... After a few years, he is also a veteran of entertainment.
"Why did you suddenly come to Qiyunfeng? How? He is not the housekeeper of Yunfu, is it possible to let you be it? Izuku smiled and picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.
"What am I targeting him?" Dan Xin hurriedly defended, but there was still a faint resentment in his words: "Hmph! In the past, he was the one who came to slap me, but now that he is a housekeeper, he is better than me. ”
"Even if he becomes a housekeeper, he doesn't dare to provoke you to be indifferent." Izumi only thought it was funny, although she was two out of twenty, her playful appearance had not changed at all, but it was better than before.
The two were talking, but they saw Zhuying enter the room with a stack of thick prayer stickers, and said extremely bitterly: "Madam, I'm still honest as a guard, I really can't do this face-to-face entertainment." It is just a matter of picking and choosing which people should see them, who should reject them, and what days will each family arrange them...... I was really dazzled and had a terrible headache. ”
Hearing this, he laughed lightly, and finally even held his stomach and teased him: "You, you, you are really not angry!" Back then, the master still wanted to train you to succeed Uncle Zhong as a housekeeper, but it was better for you to be a guard, and you didn't want to be motivated! Now I can't even pick and choose posts. ”
Danxin used to love Zhuying, but now it seems that he is really relieved, provoking his thorns to sharpen his teeth, forcing the other party to have no power to fight back.
Zhuying also let his head and face be teased lightly, and only lowered his head and sighed helplessly.
Seeing this, Izuku also hid his face and smiled, and laughed for a long time before saying to Zhuying: "You put the post down, I'll see it myself." ”
Bamboo Shadow waited for this sentence, and as if relieved, he hurriedly put down a stack of prayer stickers, and hurriedly retreated.
Izumi sighed softly, and said to Dan Xin: "My eyes are tired, you can read it to me, just read the names of each family on the post." ”
Lightly ordered, picked up a stack of prayer stickers and began to read: "Quzhou Ye Jintao ......"
Ye Jintao? Isn't this Mu Ge's husband? Izuku remembered that King Mu had said that he had a "child prostitution", and he felt sick in his heart, and said, "This post will be put aside for the time being." ”
Lightly, he picked up the second prayer post and continued to read: "The Book of Rites ...... Shangshu"
"As long as it is an important member of the Nanxi Dynasty, I will never see him back." When Izumi heard about this official position, she immediately interrupted and said. She believes that now is the critical moment for King Mu to ascend the throne, and in this eventful season, she would rather not see anyone than cause more trouble.
"Okay! The slave understood. Nodding lightly, he picked and chose in the post for a long time, omitting the important members of the northern and southern dynasties one by one, and in the end, most of the remaining families were princes and princes, as well as a few giants.
Suddenly, he let out a faint "huh", picked up one of the worship stickers and said with a smile: "Lord Helian who tore your sleeve is also here." ”
Chuxiu's hand holding the teacup suddenly froze, and he asked in a condensed voice, "Who are you talking about?" ”
"It's Lord Helian who tore your sleeve on the way when you went to Jingzhou at the end of the year before last. This surname is special, and the slave always remembers it. He smiled again: "His eyes were straight when he saw you!" ”
I didn't know what Xiu had to do with Helian Qi in the past, so I buried my head in reading the words on the worship post: "Helian Qi, the servant of the Criminal Department, came to visit ...... with his wife Mingyingte."
"Bring me the post and show me." Chuxiu put down the teacup and took the post in his hand to take a closer look. The handwriting is neat and sonorous, which coincides with her memory, and it should be written by Helianqi himself.
Chu Xiu put the post on the case, and then said lightly: "You go and tell Yun Feng that in the future, all the greetings of the Helian clan or the Ming clan will not be accepted, and they will be returned on the spot." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yun Feng's voice sounded outside the house: "Madam, I have something important to ask to see." ”
"Come in." Izuku looked out the door, but saw Yun Feng enter the house respectfully, holding two bronzing red stickers and ...... in his arms A stack of ledgers?
Needless to say, the bronzing red sticker is naturally a greeting post from which house. But this ledger is ......
Out of Xiu counted the days, and said to Yun Feng: "It's not yet the time to reconcile accounts at the end of the month." ”
"Not really." Yun Feng didn't look up to look at Xiu, as if he was deliberately lowering his head, which also made Xiu see his restraint and restraint.
Since Yun Feng took office, it has been almost a year since he pinched his head and tail, but he has always looked like this. Izuku smiled with relief: "Every time Steward Yun comes to see me, he is like a great enemy. ”
Yun Feng lowered his head in shame, obviously unable to let go of his infatuation with the past: "I used to be rude to my wife. ”
"If you don't say it, I'll forget it." Izuku chuckled, and naturally changed the topic and asked, "What are you doing with the account book?" ”
Yun Feng immediately straightened up when he heard this, temporarily put aside the restraint of Fang Cai, and replied: "I recently sorted out the accounts only to find that there is a book of accounts that is listed separately, and there has been no signature seal in recent years, and the last review was five years ago, when it was the stamp and signature of Hou Ye. ”
What was stamped and signed by Yun Ci five years ago? Chu Xiu took the account books and rested them on his lap: "Maybe the accounts have been settled, and there is no need for retrial." ”
Unexpectedly, Yun Feng shook his head: "On the contrary, this is a set of accounts, which has been kept by my uncle himself, and every loan of money is clearly remembered, and the borrower is ...... Ming's eldest son, Mingzhang. ”
Yun Feng paused, and finally raised his eyes to look at Xiu: "In six years, the amount he owes is ...... Fifty million taels of gold. ”
