"Marriage book?!"

In a pavilion in the Forget Worry Lake, Huangfu Jingyu, who was standing with his hands in his hands, looked at the man in black in front of him in astonishment, a little incredible.

"Are you sure it's a marriage letter?"

"Humility can be sure."

Huangfu Jingyu was stunned, she was friendly with Li Qing's daughter, and she had nothing to say, whether Li Yunshu was engaged or not, she knew better than anyone else.

She had never heard of this before, and now even if she wanted to ask for proof, she couldn't do so.

Li Yunshu has traveled to northern Xinjiang with Leng Tang, the great Confucian flower of Zhaoyan Academy.

Who is this Chu Ling?

"What do you think?"

Huangfu Jingyu groaned for a moment, and frowned slightly.

"It's not like it's fake."

Xiao Zhiyi's expression was serious, and he said what he thought in his heart, "Otherwise, in front of so many people, Chu Ling would not be able to enter the Shunguo Mansion, and he stayed for more than half an hour. ”

"No wonder, no wonder."

Huangfu Jingyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself, "If this person really has a marriage contract with the Shunguo Mansion, he really doesn't need to participate in the selection of the poetry club of the Seven Academies, just by virtue of this relationship, it is enough to stand proudly in the capital, but it is ......"

Huangfu Jingyu still couldn't figure it out.

Chu Ling, whose origin is unknown, why does he have a marriage contract with the only daughter of the Shunguo Mansion.

Crucially, she hadn't heard of it.

"Where did Chu Ling leave the Shunguo Mansion?"

Huangfu Jingyu grasped the point, looked at Xiao Zhiyi and said.

"This guy is weird."

Xiao Zhiyi frowned and said: "After leaving the Shunguo Mansion, I wandered around Shangdu, entered a few teahouses, and went to Yaxing, and followed him for a long time. ”

"Lianxin, you go and invite this person to the Lake of Forgotten Worries."

Huangfu Jingyu thought for a while, stretched out his hand and said, "This princess wants to see him." ”

"Whoa!"

Lian Xin hurriedly bowed his head.

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun illuminates the sky.

The clouds on the horizon burned from the west to the east, staining the whole sky red as if it were a fire.

A ray of golden light shone down through the clouds.

The many painting boats on the lake are covered by the golden light, and it is like being in a fairyland.

"But the princess has something on her mind?"

A young man wearing a brocade robe, with a Chinese face, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, a jade and gold crown on his head, a purple auspicious cloud brocade belt around his waist, and a string of prayer beads in his hand, walked in four directions.

"Why did Brother Liu say this?"

Huangfu Jingyu stepped forward with a smile.

"Since the princess came to the Lake of Forgotten Worries to find me, she has been a little absent-minded."

"Is there one? It's okay. ”

Huangfu Jingyu was holding a purple bamboo fan, obviously not noticing this.

"Speaking of the poetry meeting on the Lake of Forgetfulness, it's really boring, and so far, there is not even a good poem."

"That's because your vision is too high, I want to enter the eyes of you, a wealthy talent, I'm afraid it's not easy, otherwise Jiang Gong won't let you sit in Zhaoyan Academy and open a painting boat."

Liu Chengfeng smiled and shook his head.

"Don't mention it, isn't the princess busy preparing for the establishment of the Xuanniao Division? Why are you interested in Forget the Lake, do you want to choose some of them? ”

"I don't have this kind of thought, you don't have anyone to look down on, it must be a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, and my Xuanniao Division doesn't raise waste!"

"You can't say that."

Liu Chengfeng walked towards the stone bench in front of him, "I opened a painting boat in Zhaoyan Academy, and I still chose some poems, but I always feel that it is a little worse, and I am afraid that Jiang Shi will not give comments after reading it." ”

"Speaking of which, I heard a poem by chance, but do you want to hear it?"

Huangfu Jingyu smiled, without the slightest severance, sat next to Liu Chengfeng, and looked at Liu Chengfeng meaningfully.

Speaking of which, the Liu Chengfeng in front of him is the only son of the Duke of Enguo, who has known her and Li Yunshu since childhood, and even let go of his arrogance and wants to marry Li Yunshu as his wife.

"The princess can also taste poetry?"

"Yes, compared to you, I am a little worse, otherwise Jiang Gong would not have recruited you as an apprentice."

"Why don't we change it?"

"Or don't."

Huangfu Jingyu waved his hand, that Jiang Zhongzi had a strange temperament, even the Son of Heaven dared to speak up and be his apprentice, Huangfu Jingyu didn't dare to think about it at all.

"Listen to this poem first."

Huangfu Jingyu gathered her mind, held a purple bamboo fan, looked at Liu Chengfeng with a smile, and deliberately cleared her throat.

"Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can my generation be a Penghao person!"

Liu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, and the rosary in his hand stopped.

"Who is this person?"

"Chu Ling."

"Where are the others?"

"I don't know."

"Is that the only one?"

Liu Chengfeng pondered for a moment and looked at Huangfu Jingyu, "If this person comes to Forget the Worry Lake, he will definitely let Jiang Gong personally comment, and maybe he may win the top spot in the poetry club." ”

"That's it."

Huangfu Jingyu said quietly: "People are very proud, I have invited him many times, I want him to come to Forget the Lake, people don't care, not to mention that you had better not see him, otherwise ......"

Who is this Chu Ling?

Liu Chengfeng's thoughts at the moment are all on this poem.

Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can my generation be a Penghao person.

The person who can make this poem must be extraordinary, and he doesn't care that there is something in Huangfu Jingyu's words.

The wind blew gently.

On both sides of the Forget Worry Lake, the Dao Dao lights are lit, the night is quietly coming, and the crowds of people in the upper capital are surging......

"Ahem~"

A cluffy tavern full of flying dust.

The guy who was busy cleaning up waved his hand and coughed, showing a little disgust between his eyebrows.

Chirping~

The closed door was pushed open.

The guy who ran the hall frowned, but saw a handsome young man with a burden on his back, walking into the tavern with square steps.

Those bright and deep eyes are memorable.

"This guest officer, I'm really sorry, the shop has been closed."

The guy who ran the hall squeezed out a smile and looked at the handsome young man, "If the guest officer wants to drink, please ......."

"I don't drink."

Chu Ling looked at the tavern and said indifferently: "Where is your shopkeeper?" I want to take this tavern down. ”

Yes?!

The guy who ran the hall looked at Chu Ling in astonishment.

"What the guest officer said is true?"

But at this moment, an excited voice sounded.

But I saw a middle-aged man with fat shoulders and wide shoulders, running like a fly, with an excited look between his eyebrows.

"This son, you are a discerning pearl, this tavern is the ancestral property of my Qian family, if you take this tavern down, I will guarantee you to make money every day......"

The middle-aged man ran to Chu Ling, rubbed his hands excitedly, and talked sharply.

The guy who was standing on the side of the listen, his eyebrows showed a little disgust.

"Stop, you don't have to say that."

Chu Ling stretched out his hand and interrupted: "I know the situation, let's not go around, your name is Qian Fugui, this tavern was closed by the government a few months ago, because of a murder, and the ban has not been lifted until now, I can give you 15 taels of silver per month, temporarily hold one and pay one, and pay the full rent for one year at the beginning of next month, if you are willing, you will draw up two contracts, and we will make the contract delivery, if you don't want to, then there will be a lot of trouble." ”

"Yes! Willing!! ”

Qian Fugui was stunned for a moment, and then immediately stretched out his hand and answered: "Son, wait a while, I'll go get a pen and paper." ”

With that, Qian Fugui turned around and left.

Looking at the tavern in front of him, Chu Ling showed a faint smile.

With a price far below the market price, in a place like Shangdu, where every inch of land is valuable, rent a tavern with a single courtyard, and the place to settle down is considered to be settled.

"This guest officer... Why did you rent such a bad place? The guy who ran the hall poked his head, and when he saw that his shopkeeper hadn't come over yet, he walked up to Chu Ling and asked in a low voice.

"Sell liquor."

Chu Ling smiled slightly, "Are you willing to stay?" The monthly money rises by one or two. ”

"The little ones are willing!"

The eyes of the running guys lit up.

Chu Ling smiled and said nothing.

Since it has been decided to stay in Shangdu for the time being, it is not enough to have a place to settle down.

At present, Chu Ling only has more than 40 taels of silver left, and if he wants to live a worry-free life in Shangdu, this is far from enough.

In the capital of China, the only industry with fast money and low risk is wine.

Under the background of the salt and iron franchise, Chu Ling dared to engage in the salt and iron industry, and once it was found, it would be a capital crime.

As for sugar, glass, soap, perfume and other things, there is not enough background, it is better not to involve it for the time being, after all, those wealthy and powerful people in Shangdu are not easy to provoke, in case these things are targeted, even if it is one person, it will cause a lot of trouble.

On the contrary, it is this drink, which can be used to make some articles.

With his familiar distillation technique and taking the route of high-end liquor, as long as he can capture the taste buds of literati and artists, even if he is really coveted in the future, Chu Ling is not worried.

"Childe, how about you take a look at the contract I have drawn up?"

Qian Fugui held a pen and paper, held the red seal clay, and ran towards Chu Ling briskly.

"Yes."

Chu Ling looked at it, nodded, and walked towards the wine table in front of him.

Qian Fugui hurriedly stepped forward, and without waiting for Chu Ling to stretch out his hand, Qian Fugui smiled and moved down the wooden chair, wiped his cuffs, and motioned for Chu Ling to sit down.

In front of this hot tavern, someone is willing to undertake it, and Qian Fugui will not let this deal run away.

Chu Ling signed the deed and soon completed the contract.

"Money shopkeeper, this is 26 two-legged silver, you can check it."

Chu Ling took out a silver ingot from his baggage, a few small pieces of broken silver, and put it on the wine table, and Qian Fugui, whose eyes were shining, was stunned.

"Young Master Chu, this is not right."

Qian Fugui stepped forward and said: "According to the contract, you should deliver 30 taels of silver ......."

"The remaining 4 taels are his."

Chu Ling took a piece of broken silver and threw it to the guy who ran the hall, "As far as I know, since the store was banned by the government, the money shopkeeper did not give him monthly money, according to 4 taels per month, he did not go to work for two months, but it is not easy to live in Shangdu, give him half of the monthly money, presumably the money shopkeeper will not care, right?" ”

"Thank you, Childe, thank you."

Liu Jun held the broken silver and nodded excitedly at Chu Ling in thanks.

Qian Fugui was displeased, and the silver in his hand was less than 4 taels.

However, thinking that Chu Ling will have to pay the rent for the whole year next month, he doesn't want to lose a lot of money and wealth, and it is not easy to attack.

"It's still Chu Gongzi who is thoughtful."

Qian Fugui glared at Liu Jun, then stepped forward with a smile and took the silver on the table into his hand, "Since Gongzi Chu has said so, then I won't say anything else, this is the tavern key, Gongzi Chu will check it?" ”

As he spoke, he took off the key on his waist and handed it to Chu Ling.

"I trust the money shopkeeper."

Chu Ling took the key and said with a slight smile: "If the money shopkeeper has something, you can go and get busy first." ”

"Goodbye then."

Qian Fugui nodded with a smile.

Every scene in the tavern was actually seen by Lianxin, who was observing outside, and what Chu Ling did made Lianxin feel a little puzzled.

What does this Chu Ling want to do in this tavern?
