Chapter 245: Treasure Hunt
Mi August opened the letter and read it at a glance.
Mi Yixian wrote a lot of content, and almost all of what happened after he returned to Fengxia City from Beiyuan City was written in the letter.
In just a few months, after his physical recovery, Mi Yixian fought for the status that the eldest son of the Mi family should have, and gradually eroded the power of Mi Songbu, the head of the family, with the intention of abdicating Mi Songbu in advance.
As for the concubine and concubine Mi Zhenbang who murdered their family, Mi Yixian treated him in his own way, and he was already seriously ill and bedridden and couldn't go out.
Mi Yixian said in the letter that he planned to make his father, his concubine, and his brother's family complete. The father and the concubine always said that they were true love, and it was the Yun family who stopped them, so he gave the pair of true lovers a chance and asked his father to take this true love and his son out to live and fly.
Of course, if Mi Songbu chooses to take his true love away, he will lose everything in the Mi family, and in the future, the Mi family will be in charge of Mi Yixian, and he will not give them any funding.
And if Mi Songbu refuses to give up glory and wealth for true love, it will only be a period of dying and struggling, and Mi Yixian will eventually snatch everything in his hands.
Everything that happened to the Mi family couldn't hide from the uncle who was a scholar in Yi Guo, but the uncle didn't have any intention of stopping Mi Yixian's actions.
This is a matter of course, the reason why Mi Yixian was able to seize power so quickly was with the assistance of the fourth prince Yi Zhen.
The fourth prince is currently the most favored son of the monarch, and Uncle Mi is very good at seeing the situation.
In addition, after the monarch returned from Beiyuan City, he began to implement the night tour law, and several accompanying night tour envoys settled in the Lingzhi Governor's Mansion. The mysterious legend about the castle of Kitahara and the name of Mi August are also secretly passed down in the mouths of the powerful people of the national capital.
Everything has been doomed to the final result of Mi Yixian's father-son fight, Uncle Mi received a letter for help from his younger brother and threw it directly into the brazier, and without his brother's knowledge, he repaired a letter to Mi Yixian and sold his younger brother, indicating that he was optimistic about his nephew's attitude.
Mi Songbu didn't know about this, but even if he did, it would only make him hate and suffer more.
After talking about the mess of the Mi family, Mi Yixian also mentioned the cooperation with Kering Shipping.
Kering Shipping Company is the main industry of the Wen family, and it is currently equivalent to the by-product of Si Yefu. Since the spider disaster, only Wen Qingpo is left in the Wen family, and Wen Qingpo was planted by Zuo Si with an ecstasy seed, Ming Mian is one of his disciples, and his status is completely incomparable with Pei Rongrong, which is equivalent to a puppet-like existence.
And these days, Wen Qingpo took over Kering Commercial Bank, and he has not returned to Beiyuan City for a long time, and his business has been doing well.
After reading the letter, Mi August had no intention of replying to the letter.
She asked the temple spirit butler, "What's the situation with Guan Feilian?"
During the time she was reading the letter, the palace spirit housekeeper had already listened to the conversation between Guan Feilian and Shen Li almost well, so she conveyed the main content to Mi August.
"Guan Feilian is the governor of Qufeng City, Qufeng City is a neighbor of Beiyuan City, and this winter is not good, so I came to ask Beiyuan City for a way to save the people."
"Is it Shen Li who receives him?"
"Yes."
According to Shen Li's sentiment of serving the country and the people, Mi August could already predict the result.
"Let him spend the Night Tour Festival in Beiyuan City first, and then he still wants Beiyuan City's method of saving the people, just like Pei Yan, he will fully cooperate with Si Yefu's actions and open a branch in Qufeng City."
….
As Mi August expected, Shen Li and Guan Feilian wanted to see Mi August after talking, but Mi August didn't see him, and the palace spirit housekeeper conveyed Mi August's meaning in place.
The way to convey the temple spirit steward is to tell it directly in the original words.
Shen Li is accustomed to this, but Guan Feilian and his wife have encountered this situation for the first time, but fortunately, after many years of cultivation, they just stiffened their whole body and did not lose their temper.
Shen Li, who received the news, thanked him, "Trouble the night manager."
When Shen Li sat down again, Guan Feilian asked in a low voice, "Who is that night manager?"
Shen Li said, "The head of the Si Ye Mansion, but he only serves the two highnesses."
Guan Feilian nodded and didn't ask more, even if he was curious in his heart.
Shen Li said, "Have you found a place to live in the city? Or you can stay in the Silent Mansion for the time being."
Guan Feilian: "Thank you for your kindness, my husband and wife have already booked an inn."
Seeing the haunting scene of the hall spirit butler just now, Guan Feilian had a sense of uneasiness that he had nowhere to hide, and he was really not used to the feeling of no privacy. Even if you want to know more about the Tsukasa Mansion, you can't live here.
Shen Li didn't force them to stay and sent them out.
The husband and wife, who had left the Siya Mansion, continued to wander the streets of Kitahara Castle.
Because the festival is just around the corner, every household in the city has begun to hang lanterns or set up small stoves in front of their doors, and some have already lit a fire before the festival arrives, and you can feel the warmth near the stove.
Looking at the people of Beiyuan City, the physical fitness is visible to the naked eye, the elderly and children are wearing winter clothes, their faces are ruddy and healthy, and the difference between them and those from the outside city can be seen at a glance.
Some villagers from the outer city who were afraid of the cold cautiously approached the stove outside the store to keep warm, and the shopkeeper did not drive them away, and brought a large pot of hot tea out for them to drink, but only a bowl.
Rao is so flattered that this group of people who are warming up has thought that Xiao Er is here to drive them away.
Xiao Er said, "This stove is burning to keep people warm, I don't think you are evil, you will all stand aside and do not affect the guests who come and go, even a pot of hot water is nothing."
Several people thanked them one after another.
Xiao Er waved his hand, "Don't thank me, the hot water in this stove belongs to the owner, but the owner is kind-hearted." But don't let the good intentions of your host make you do something annoying."
"No, no, we'll stay for a while and leave." Several people connected to each other.
Xiao Er saw that they knew the current affairs so well, they looked honest, and their clothes were old but clean, so he relaxed again, "Then don't worry, we don't rush people, you can also listen to books outside if you are interested."
After saying that, Xiao Er went back to work.
A few people outside around the stove gathered together and began to drink hot water, one bowl in turn, and each bowl was quickly drunk.
The first man to drink water put away the kettle and bowl, and opened the bag he was carrying, which contained the carbon he had bought.
He took a piece of it and put it in the burning stove, and the companion next to him saw that he did not say anything.
The man retied the package and handed the kettle and bowl to the other person and asked him to return them to the second child in the store.
After doing this, the gang went again.
….
They came to the city to take advantage of the low-cost trading day of the Cold Breaking Festival to buy some supplies for the winter.
Guan Feilian, who stopped not far away, looked at the departing people for a long time.
Ruan Yuan grabbed his wrist, "Husband, why don't you go buy a lantern with me."
"Okay." Guan Fei said.
In fact, the Cold Breaking Festival is not only in Beiyuan City, but also in Qufeng City.
The way the two celebrate the festival is similar.
It is precisely because of the similarity that the difference can be seen more and more.
In the next two days, Beiyuan City became more lively, and the guest rooms in the city inns were not enough for outsiders to live, so that some people who did not want to go to find pleasure had to go to live in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion.
From the talk of outsiders, it can be heard that the reason why they came to Kitahara Castle was the influence of the royal team, and with the return of the royal team, rumors about Kitahara Castle have been circulating all over the world in recent months, attracting all curious visitors.
If it weren't for the bitter cold winter, more people would come.
However, it was not long before those who did not make it to this time regretted it, and those who came were eager to come here once a year and leave an indelible mark on their memories.
Lanterns are hung in the streets, and stoves go from house to house.
It's obviously a harsh winter in a border city, and then in such an environment, it makes people in thick clothes feel sweaty.
The program procession organized by the government officials blew gongs and drums on the long street, and the strong dancers holding torches danced vigorously.
People cheered and cheered on both sides.
When the program team is far away, the goods placed in the store are inserted with new prices, which are so low that outsiders can't believe it.
Among them, there was a foreign merchant who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to buy on a large scale, but was angrily chased away by the shopkeeper to refuse to accept his selfish customers on this holy holiday.
There are more private stalls outside, which can be exchanged for money or bought for money.
What makes outsiders feel funny and funny is that there are even children or teenagers in this stall.
"Little girl, is this stall yours?" A group of foreign businessmen asked.
Chen Erya nodded, and said crisply, "Well, does the master want to buy it?"
The merchant asked, "What are you selling?"
Chen Erya said, "Jushou medicinal powder can strengthen the body, cure wind, cold and rheumatism, reduce inflammation and stop bleeding."
"Haha." The merchant couldn't help but laugh, "It sounds like it can be used in anything, it's like a magic elixir."
Chen Erya didn't hear his jokes, and explained seriously, "It's not as good as the elixir, I can make some medicinal powder on my own now, the effect is less than one-third of what Feng Mingzi does, but it is equivalent to the gold sore medicine and dampness medicine in the pharmacy, which can be taken internally or externally, and it doesn't hurt."
She said it plainly, and the merchant was in a good mood, so he was helping a little girl, "Oh? It's so good, it's my luck, how much is this powder a pack?"
Chen Erya said a price, that is, the price of the cost plus one percent.
"Usually I have to sell it for double the price, but this is the only time for the Cold Day."
The merchant smiled and said nothing, and bought two packs of money.
Leaving the stall, the businessman's friend said to him, "As long as you are kind-hearted, let the other party deceive you when you are young."
"Make a good match." The merchant said indifferently, "Anyway, it's a festival, and I heard that there are immortals in this northern plain city, maybe I will pick up the treasure."
On the other side, a friend who was dressed very thickly said, "Rest for a while, my leg hurts."
"Huh? Rheumatism is done again, just try this medicine." The merchant is happy.
His long-term rheumatist friend glared at him.
A few people sat down in a teahouse at random, and the merchant was still laughing, "It's not going to be poisonous."
He took out the powder and asked a friend to try it, but the friend said that he was sick again, and the two laughed and quarreled.
A few words were heard by the other people in the teahouse, and Heng *** said, "You said that this medicine powder is Jushou powder, which is sold by a little girl?"
The merchant turned his head, and when he saw how he was dressed, he knew it was a local, "Yes, that's what the little girl said."
"Where does she sell it?" The other person's eyes lit up.
The merchant was flickered by the eye and pointed in the direction he came.
"Quick, quick, the children of Si Yefu have also come out to set up stalls, go and grab good things!" The man shouted.
The merchant and his friends watched most of the guests in the teahouse run away, and even the boss told his wife and children to stop working and hurry up to find people and grab treasures.
