Yongzhou to the east to the capital of Daliang is a large plain, with a rough atmosphere of the desert cold air down, all the way unimpeded, soon swept most of the Liang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time of year, the people of Daliang began to consciously add clothes, because as soon as this northwest wind arrived, it meant that winter had arrived at the doorstep.

And those old commanders in the military aircraft department frowned, not only worried about whether the winter clothes of the frontier soldiers were sufficient, but also worried, the northwest wind was unimpeded and unstoppable all the way, and the Vasai Khan blood and iron cavalry, who was known as the unparalleled in the mobile surname in the world, would it be so terrifying if it bypassed Yongzhou and rushed all the way to the capital?

Emperor Liang's imperial study, the finest silver frost charcoal burned quietly, providing sufficient heat to the empty room without emitting a trace of odor or sound, but from time to time there were red sparks with the heat impulse in the air, tumbling up and down, and then falling down after exhausting the heat, silver ashes, hazy charcoal fire, flying sparks, in the cold winter is eye-catching......

Emperor Liang has been in a good mood since returning from the Northern Expedition, sitting behind the wide bookcase at this time, watching the charcoal fire burn with great interest, and suddenly smiled: "Chu Yuan really has some meaning, the silver frost charcoal he sent is not only full of heat, smellless and tasteless, but also so beautiful to burn, just like watching fireworks, it must have taken a lot of thought." Hey, should I praise him for his ingenuity, or should I scold him for not doing his job? ”

One of the most favored eunuchs around Emperor Liang, Li Renxiao, who was the most observant of his face, naturally heard that Emperor Liang did not blame Chu Yuan at all, but he did not break it, but hurriedly went up and explained: "Your Majesty has wronged Lord Chu, I heard that this silver frost charcoal is extremely troublesome to burn, and it was the fifth young master of the Chu family who tossed it for a long time before he made it out, and now the mansions inside and outside the capital are burning this silver frost charcoal, and Xiao Chu Gongzi has made a lot of money by burning the secret charcoal." The old slave also heard that the old general Yang Lie didn't ask for a way to burn, so he was so angry that he jumped in front of the Chu family and scolded for a long time. ”

Emperor Liang leaned comfortably on the dragon chair, listened to these interesting little gossip, and couldn't help laughing: "This old horseman, he is really going back more and more, and he doesn't know how to pay attention to his identity, is the huge Yang family still short of that bit of silver?"

Li Renxiao laughed again and again, Yang Lie is vulgar and thick-skinned, but his status is high, even if he is in the court, he is still playing tricks, this time it is rare to eat deflated, I am afraid that many people, including Emperor Liang, are secretly happy in their hearts.

Emperor Liang stretched out his hand and threw the fold in his hand on the desk, as if he remembered something, he raised his head and asked, "What have you been doing since Chu Nan came back from Jiangnan?"

At this time, Li Renxiao's cleverness is revealed, if everyone will pay attention to a big man like Yang Lie, then who would bother to ask such an inconspicuous person as Chu Nan? Emperor Liang asked, maybe others really don't know, but Li Renxiao knows that this is also the reason why he has been favored by Emperor Liang's side for nearly 20 years, and those who work hard will always be rewarded.

Li Renxiao lowered his head and thought about it, and said slowly: "Xiao Chu Gongzi received the Oiran of Xinyue Building into a concubine room and placed it on Furong Street, as if he had a conflict with the young lady of the Leng Li family who was diagonally opposite the door. A few days ago, I annoyed Mrs. Xiao Chu and Lord Chu because of the charcoal burning, and recently I was forced by Chu Shangshu to go to Yang's house to apologize. There should be nothing else to do but go out and drink from time to time. ”

Emperor Liang nodded with satisfaction, this is what a good slave should do, when the master asks, he can't say that he doesn't know, and when he says, he can't bring his own subjective feelings, think about it and frown: "Concubines can also be regarded as young and romantic, and the matter of selling charcoal is really not considered, the young master of the Chu family and the court officials are actually businessmen, what does it look like?"

Li Renxiao looked at Emperor Liang's expression, and said carefully: "It seems that the old lady of the Chu family is not in good health, and it is a little difficult to endure when it is cold, so the little Chu prince has tinkered with this colorless, tasteless and good-looking charcoal." It's just that later, it was a serious business to start selling charcoal, Mrs. Xiao Chu dissuaded to no avail, and went back to her parents' house directly in a rage, Chu Shangshu was also very angry, and now those ladies and ladies in the Yang Mansion have let out the words, as long as Xiao Chu Gongzi goes, he must be cleaned up well. Recently, this has been the hottest topic in Beijing. ”

Emperor Liang's face slowed down a lot, he himself is a person of filial piety, not to mention that the object is the old lady of the Chu family who is very related to him, as long as he has such a starting point, even if he does something that damages his identity like a businessman, it is nothing, thinking of Yang Shouye's group of fierce ladies and daughters, he also laughed secretly, bowed his head and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "I've been hanging him for so long, it's time to recruit him into the palace." ”

Raising his head and nodding at Li Renxiao, he ordered: "Go and recruit Liang Rang, Wang Defu and Chu Nan into the palace, there must be an explanation for Jiangnan's case, and it has dragged on long enough." ”

Li Renxiao didn't dare to slack off, arched himself and withdrew to arrange, walked to the door where no one was there before he let out a long breath, wiped his sideburns, remembered the three thousand taels of silver given by Yang Yu and promised this special Yang family lady, and thought angrily, although it was just a few good words, but he had to take a big risk, and next time he said that he would not take such a job, well, if he wanted to receive the price, he would have to double it, at least five thousand taels.

............................................................................................................Five thousand taels, you've earned so much money after working so long?" Chu Nan frowned, full of impatience.

Guan He skillfully fiddled with the abacus, looked at the account book with satisfaction, glanced at Chu Nan and said: "You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, five thousand taels is a lot of silver, do you think everyone is the young city lord of Yingzhou City, and there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in your hand? ”

Chu Nan grabbed his hair and sighed: "Actually, we are not short of money, why do you have to make up this business? Now that Yangmei has run back to Yang's house, my grandmother at home has forced me to pick her up............

Guan He pouted and said: "Hmph, I'm not a daughter from a wealthy family, I have to be careful in my calculations, I can't let you think I'm a vase, and I have to help you make money to support your family." As for going back to my parents' house, then I'll pick it up, anyway, it won't take much effort, and it's not long since I coaxed you? ”

Chu Nan coughed a few times, and said helplessly: "Hey, the key is that those mothers-in-law and sisters-in-law are too domineering, and I definitely don't have any good fruit to eat when I go, and whether I can come out alive or not has to be said separately." ”

Guan He glared at Chu Nan and said meaningfully: "Isn't there your undercover agent in that group of sisters-in-law? She will definitely help you, won't she?"

Chu Nan covered his forehead, pretending not to hear Guan He's words, and talked nonsense with Guan He upside down, just not mentioning Yang Lin's affairs.

Zhao Jiu, the old housekeeper of the Chu family, hurriedly ran in, hurriedly saluted Guan He, and hurriedly said to Chu Nan: "My young master, there is someone in the palace, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace, hurry up, it will not be good for Your Majesty to wait for a long time." ”
