Chapter 311: The Past: Green Tea and the House

Lan Li's appearance here is indeed strange.

If you see her in other places in the capital, even if it is in the Qinglou, Ye San will not think much about it, after all, this time of year in the capital is the most lively, this woman who always has to get together, since the last two generations, she has no worries about food and clothing, food and clothing, and the daily brocade and jade food make her in addition to playing in the mountains and rivers, and the rest of the things are afraid that in addition to looking for Qi Buyu, who is famous for playing chess, there is only one thing left to find the night to be uncomfortable.

And appeared here, in the house of a local state and county envoy stationed in Beijing, I saw this lady of Yuzhou who had inherited a first-class order because of her ancestors' great achievements, and she was full of more thoughts on the night.

Seeing Lan Li, Ye San subconsciously remembered the coachman beside her who was said by her father Ye Hongtu to be unable to see the height and shade.

I felt a little weak at this thought, and I was hiding on the roof of the night three watches and four rounds, looking around the courtyard and outside the courtyard, and I didn't see the man who didn't smile, so I was a little relieved, after all, if someone found that they jumped over the wall and jumped over the house, it would be very bad.

In this trance-like effort, the earth fire dragon was steaming, and even if the door was wide open, he didn't feel the slightest coolness in the hall, Yongzhou, who was high in the main seat, stayed in the backyard of Yongzhou, and Mo Yingwei smiled first, "What Mrs. Lan said, when I first arrived in the capital, I couldn't invite Mrs. Lan to come over for a meal?" ”

It's not flattery, it's not flattery.

Lan Li sighed lightly, stretched out her hand, and carefully rubbed a palm-sized, chess-like handle, and red handle in her hand, "Don't say it, if it weren't for this piece of brocade red jade landscape material as a stepping stone, I really wouldn't give you this face." ”

Full of ridicule and swaggering.

Mo Ying was still smiling, and did not have any dissatisfaction with Lan Li's sarcasm, I have to say that this young man can be sent to the capital as a post-emeracy envoy, and this ability to cultivate qi alone seems to be old-fashioned.

Lan Li turned her head again, looked at the two people on the left and right, and said without hesitation: "This guy gives you two something good, take it out and let me palm it to see if the Marquis of Yongzhou is so generous to anyone." ”

Such a direct question, but anyone who has a little thought will not answer, so naturally ignore it.

Mo Ying smiled again: "What Mrs. Lan said is out of sight, her own preferences, naturally you can't judge by value, turnip and green vegetables have their own love, how can there be so many good and bad." ”

Obviously, he likes the old piece of red jade in his hand, and he can't put it down, rubbing it repeatedly, Lan Li said: "You are quite good at talking, let's talk about it, what are you looking for a few of us?" ”

The huge table is full of mysteries, as the host Mo Ying gently turned the upper disc full of delicacies, the aroma was overflowing between the rotations, and the master from the Lingnan barbarian clan spoke: "Mrs. Lan speaks brightly, Miss Ning and Wei Gongzi are also cool people, and the Ming people do not say secret words, my father often teaches, entering the temple to burn incense and meet the Buddha and kowtow, is to go out, to make a few more friends with eyes, after all, it is a number of friends and many roads, and when encountering trouble, the people from a small place like us have no way to go to heaven and no door to the ground, You don't have to rely on your friends to take care of you. ”

A seat of speech is extremely humble, high and low.

It was the other three who stepped on it, and it was their own master who stepped on it.

Ning Wei and the man in Tsing Yi who didn't see each other still didn't speak, but Lan Lida looked like he was dominant, and he always raised the bar in his words, "Mo Gongzi also said, Ming people don't say dark words, don't go around the corner, I invited three people, only one is always in the capital, how do you let friends from other places take care of it?" If you have something to say, don't engage in these false things, save yourself from using people's soft hands and eating people's mouths, and if we are asked to do something rebellious, we won't be able to vomit it out when we enter the stomach. ”

Mo Ying, a barbarian from the 100,000 mountains in the southwest, was not as uncivilized as a barbarian, and his words and deeds were polite and measured, this young man who could definitely be regarded as a city government in his chest said with sincere fear: "Madam Lan doesn't dare to say that, the Mo family is deeply favored by the emperor, and with the eldest princess Miss Jianing and General Wei Xiao of the Western Regions Governor's Mansion, how can they do something rebellious." ”

Tsing Yi, who was still called Wei Gongzi just now, coughed lightly and was a warning, Mo Ying hurriedly changed his words, "Oh, oh, Wei Gongzi, Wei Gongzi, look at my stupid mouth." ”

The night three watches on the roof were suddenly abrupt.

Wei Wuji, the younger brother of Wei Wuji, the general of the Auxiliary State of the Governor of the Western Regions.

It also confirmed his initial guess about the identity of this person, eight or nine are not far from ten, and the third night is even more puzzled, what is this Mo Ying going to do, so that the three people who can't be beaten by the eight poles are brought together. As Mo Ying just said, just spending money to pave the way and expand relationships and expand contacts, Lan Li, a big-chested and brainless woman, doesn't believe it.

If it is said that four people get together to play pai gow, it is even more ridiculous.

Ning Wei, the daughter of the eldest princess who has long been canonized as the county lord, is also a straightforward person, according to the understanding of her back then, it is also because her character who has been ridiculed for her appearance since she was a child is somewhat paranoid and distorted, and she is ignited with a temper and a cannon, and she can not say a word for so long, and she will not be a city like Mo Ying at all.

In fact, it was really guessed by the night three, and Ning Wei, who did not say a word, was called aside by his mother as early as he went out, this Lingjing eldest princess had waded through more rivers than her daughter had walked, and she had cultivated the potential taste of this invitation as soon as possible. After asking his daughter if she had any contact with the magistrate who came out of the capital, it was like a sentence that every parent would tell when their children went out.

"Listen more and talk less."

It's just like every child who can't be obedient, after a short time, Ning Wei couldn't hold it back, and said coldly: "Wei, why do you call you a little general and are still yin and yang, who doesn't know here?" Or is it a bit embarrassing to say that I finally feel that I have become a ranger general by relying on my family's skills? ”

Condescendingly, he couldn't see the expression of Tsing Yi with his back to him, and Ye Sangen didn't hear the Western Regions general's reply, but seeing that his hand on the table was already a little hard, he could guess the anger in his heart.

It is indeed because of nepotism that he can achieve the forbearance of the fifth-grade military generals in such a rapidly changing environment in the Western Regions, and it is even more first-class, not like the sarcasm of the first-grade lady Lan Li to Mo Ying, a nominal civil and prose official, and an envoy who stayed in Beijing from the sixth grade, and the county lord who is also nominal and rankless, rather mocks Wei Wuyan, if you really want to say it, this is the following offense.

But Wei Wuyan dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

The rank is one thing, and the identity is another, rather the eldest princess behind her, don't say that their group of children and grandchildren are surrounded by friends, even the Lao Tzu above is not disobedient.

This little general, who is nicknamed Wei in the circle of the capital, seems to have nothing to do after a short period of pranayama, and he is calm, "No matter how you say it, it can't compare to the Ning County Lord who was born with a title, if I am equal to the military with my ability to mix merits, I think it's like a lady like you, and I don't understand." ”

The words were not only thorny, but they were sarcastic to Ning Yu's sore spots.

has lived for more than 20 years, but no one who knows himself has dared to mention the four words of everyone's girlfriends, obviously Ning Wei is already a little angry.

It's just that the two of them don't say anyone, and the needle is on the tip of the wheat.

The children and grandchildren of the adults in Beijing, there are not a few people of the same age, and they naturally have their own circle, that is, those who walk the dog with eagles, and they are idle every day, and they are naturally people in this circle with Wei Wujian.

Since his father Wei Ying, who assisted Emperor Wu Jiandi to pacify the Western Regions, he moved to the Western Regions after he became the governor of the Western Regions, and he gradually became estranged from these young playmates, and over time, he lost the friendship he had at the beginning.

Because the name will always be misread as a, the two Wei Wujian brothers, who have such a funny name in this circle since childhood, are not lacking, and those who don't understand only think that they are mixing up an official and a half-position by virtue of their father's relationship with the governor of the Western Regions, but who understands, the army is not as good as those civil officials who dance and write, especially these border troops, every day they are facing those vassal tribes that make people go to war, and they may not be happy to drink on the first day, and they will face each other with swords and guns on the second day.

Obviously he didn't know how to pretend to understand, Ning Wei didn't know that he was inferior, but he heard that the other party's words were making fun of himself, and he was about to get angry at the moment, and the main family Mo Ying said in a timely manner: "If a few young ladies have been talking like this in my house, if it spreads, it won't look good." ”

Yongzhou Liuhou, who has always been talking around the corner, was so direct this time, and the other people present more or less heard the impatience in the host's words, after all, this was an appointment, there was really no need to embarrass things, and they were silent one by one at the moment.

There seemed to be a smell of gunpowder in the sight of Ning Wei and Wei Wujian, and Lan Li, who stretched out the two of them, was happy to watch the excitement, and he was still unsatisfied.

Mo Ying put on a not very happy look, obviously really doing it for a few people, because after a short silence, he took a sip of tea, and deliberately replaced it with a forced smile, which looked very strange no matter how he looked at it.

Putting down the teacup, the envoy who had his own calculations in his heart spoke: "I'll just get straight to the point, now there is a big deal, I don't know if a few people want to know about it." ”

Seeing that these three men and women with different official positions did not speak, Mo Ying explained in detail, "I am rich in green tea near Yongzhou, a few years ago, my father occasionally got a recipe, after improvement, this green tea can be widely planted in the north and south of the river, regardless of regional differences, two crops a year, I don't know if a few people are interested in participating in a handful?" ”

The expressions of the three people present were obviously a little strange, and they all looked at Mo Ying in the main seat, each with their own thoughts.

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in order to prevent corruption among court officials from touching the interests of the common people, it was expressly forbidden for these civil and military generals who ate the king's fortune not to do business.

Mo Ying naturally knew that the laws of the Great Zhou were strict, but this time she laughed very casually, "Since you tell a few people directly, the road has been paved, and it is absolutely foolproof, so you can rest assured." ”

No one spoke, naturally they all knew that no one wanted to be this up-and-coming bird.

Although in order to prevent corruption among officials, Da Zhou used extremely high monthly salaries to let many officials enter politics with peace of mind, but then again, which one is less money?

This is also a well-known secret in the dark of Da Zhou, but all the public people who have some ways will more or less engage in the business of some small merchants and hawkers in the name of their own relatives, and they dare not say that they are completely making a daily expense, which is also excellent.

It's just that it doesn't seem to be Ning Wei and Wei Wuyan, these two juniors who directly belong to the official circle in the capital, because of the intricate relationships and connections of the family, naturally have their own way of doing business, and Lan Li, this loose official who is far away in Yuzhou, I am afraid that in this life, I only want to be greedy for pleasure and make money? The silver issued by the court every month is not spent, and there are still so many rewards in the New Year's Festival, so she doesn't want to participate in this kind of laborious work.

Mrs. Yuzhou, who was definitely a little revealing, said with a smile: "I'm not interested." ”

Direct rejection.

Regarding Lan Li's reply, without waiting for the other two to have any ideas, Mo Ying had already persuaded: "Mrs. Lan is located in the Phoenix Mountain, there are many hot springs, such a blessed place, if Mrs. Lan coordinates and helps from it, if you want to come to the harvest in one year, you can catch up with the harvest in my Yongzhou for three years." If Madame Lan has a heart, she will earn by then..."

Thinking that it was to show something important, Mo Ying, who deliberately lowered her voice and lowered her body, said solemnly: "You can give Mrs. forty." ”

Lan Li, who has no idea about money, is not interested in it, and still refuses, "I don't want to participate." ”

The other two were a little moved, and their eyes were burning.

Wei Wujian, the general of the Western Regions, has been exposed to the unsightly business at home since he was a child, especially in the Western Regions, sitting on the commercial artery leading to the extreme west of the Great Zhou, the Wei family is definitely a unique existence in the Western Regions, whether some large caravans go to the west or the east, the filial piety in the governor's mansion is definitely not a small number, even if it is those small camel teams, the things that come and go are not something that others can think of.

Compared with the gray income that Wei Wuyan cognizes, Ning Wei understands the doorway even more.

Earlier, a relative of my father's family had used his mother's name to sell tea between Lingnan and the Western Regions, and later, for convenience, he was involved in the line of the Ma Gang that was rampant in the northwest, and his family secretly assisted, and the Ma Gang was fully responsible for it.

Speaking of which, I have to mention that more than a year ago, the third watch was angry because of the grievances between Zhuang Yuan and the Ma Gang, and killed people on the street, and it was precisely because of this that he formed a bond with the county lord of the eldest princess's family.

You must know that the gang of horses that Ye Sangen killed on the street at the beginning came to Beijing to report the year's income and expenditure to the eldest princess.

Because of this, I didn't dare to be known by the imperial court about the deeper songs, and I didn't need the night family to come forward, and the night three watches killed people in broad daylight in the capital outside the imperial city, and the eldest princess tried her best to suppress it.

This is also the origin of the grievances between Ye Sangen and Ning Wei.

It's just that these two people have intentions, Lan Li has no intentions, to avoid telling the truth, the county lord of the eldest princess's family and the son of the governor of the Western Regions are powerless and dare not speak.

Obviously, just by looking at the three people's thoughts, ignoring the two people who were moved, Mo Ying continued to move with affection and reason, and chose to tempt Lan Li with practical benefits: "If Mrs. Lan doesn't believe it, I can give you another big gift to show my gratitude to Mrs. Lan for helping her." ”

It is said that this piece of flawless and red red old material is not even worth the city, the key is that the market is priceless, and Lan Li, who has no concept of money but is also a rare and strange thing, has some interest, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Let's hear it." ”

"A house."

The well-informed Mrs. Yuzhou was greatly disappointed.

If she is now earning silver, I am afraid that it will not be a problem to buy a mountain in a few months.

Mo Ying pursed her lips and smiled, not caring at all that her promise to Lan Li would make the other two people have other thoughts, after all, these two people were already excited, if they could plant this green tea in a feng shui treasure like Phoenix Mountain, even if they took one hundred percent of the benefits, I am afraid that they could fill the gluttonous stomachs of these two families.

The envoy of Yongzhou, who had a city in his chest, still leaned forward and lowered his voice, mysterious and secretive.

"The good family's house in the capital."
