Chapter 474: Tim Xiang Lou
Zhou Yu, who is now the prince of the Jin Dynasty, has to take four guards with him when he goes out, opening the road front and back.
And there are special carriages, for their use.
When Zhou Yu saw another set of carriages staying at the second gate, he couldn't help but look at the luxurious decoration on the carriage again.
This is Zhou An's carriage.
Because Zhou An was deeply trusted by his father, and held great power in handling affairs, and was also favored by the emperor's grandfather, he often went to the palace, and between the two gates, a carriage was specially parked for Zhou An to use at any time.
And now that the news of Zhou An's death is known, there are only a handful, and when there is no public indication that Zhou An is dead, this carriage will still be parked here.
"Shizi, your carriage is here."
At this moment, a richly decorated carriage came from the backyard, and the scent of orchids spread out as he walked.
Although its appearance is brighter than Zhou An's special carriage parked at the second gate, only those who know the goods know that the cost difference between the two is more than double.
If the only thing that won this carriage was that Zhou An's carriage was decorated to his liking.
At that time, there was no perfume, and now, in the carriage of the prince, the princess specially sprayed a lot of perfume, walking on the street is eye-catching, and it can also let the people in the capital know that there is a new prince in the Jin Palace.
This is a very good means of publicity for Zhou Yu, who established the prince of the Jin Dynasty but did not swagger.
After getting into the carriage, Zhou Yu leaned on the comfortable soft couch, picked up the report news that he hadn't finished reading from the room, and continued to read it.
When he saw a piece of news reported by a small official from the Ministry of Industry in Beijing, he couldn't help but stand up and carefully review it word by word.
After reading it, Zhou Yu was stunned.
"Is there any big move in the Ministry of Works?"
The most important thing is that, according to this little official, the person in charge of this matter is Zhou Jingxian, who was appointed as the supervisor of the Ministry of Labor not long ago.
Speaking of this Zhou Jingxian, Zhou Yu can't even remember what she looks like.
I only heard from other people's mouths that Zhou Jingxian's eyes are somewhat similar to the emperor's grandfather, and her appearance seems to be excellent.
But even if Zhou Jingxian's eyes resemble the imperial grandfather, because King Kang used to do things like to protect himself, he was not liked by the imperial grandfather, and he had to survive in a low-key manner, Zhou Jingxian had no sense of existence in front of the imperial grandfather, and she was not favored in King Kang's mansion.
"It's really a stormy meeting, even an inconspicuous little girl can fly on the branches and become a phoenix."
In the letter, the little official did not specify what Zhou Jingxian was responsible for this matter, and what she was doing.
It's just that the Ministry of Industry recently brought 5,000 catties of stainless steel that is usually used to make the armor on the heavy armor in Yibei Road.
Those steels have strong toughness, high tensile force, easy to stretch, and not easy to break.
However, because it has only been found in the north of Jizhou, the quantity is very small, not to mention 5,000 catties, it is 500 catties to build the armor that the imperial grandfather likes, and the imperial grandfather will feel distressed.
At this time, handing over such a major matter to Zhou Jingxian is enough to prove that Zhou Jingxian is in the heart of the emperor's grandfather at this time, and I am afraid that she has replaced Zhou An's position.
"Stainless steel...... If I'm not mistaken, some time ago, Jinling spies came to report that the house slaves of the Jinling prefect invented small objects on horseback, which can improve the horse control skills of ordinary people, and the emperor's grandfather should want to use these stainless steel to build this thing to improve the ability of cavalry. ”
Zhou Yu is very sure of his guess.
But that's about it.
Even if you know about it, what can you do?
The emperor's grandfather deliberately concealed from the people of the world and secretly created this thing, which has not been widely disclosed, and must be made as a life achievement.
He can't intervene, but if he is jealous of Zhou Jingxian, he doesn't have Zhou An's life, and he doesn't dare to get Zhou An's illness.
How did Zhou An die, from the perspective of vested interests, Zhou Jingxian is the most suspicious.
"Shizi, it's here."
Zhou Yu was still in the chaos of thoughts, and the coachman outside spoke up and pulled his thoughts back.
The curtains are raised, which is different from the dim candlelight in the middle of the car.
The red candles of the Tianxiang Pavilion illuminate the entire three-story pavilion as bright as day.
As soon as you get out of the carriage, you can smell the fragrance of peach blossoms, and then look at the girls who are wearing light clothes, or playing musical instruments, or writing calligraphy, or spinning and jumping, and suddenly have a kind of illusion that the spring is bright and the years are quiet.
"The new owner of this Tianxiang Building is a wonderful person."
In the late autumn season, others are enjoying the chrysanthemums and waiting for the plums.
She knows that she is a maverick and makes this spring March style.
Zhou Yu's depressed mood suddenly seemed to be illuminated by the light, and he was much more relaxed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Seeing this, Zhou Ruqing immediately asked, "Shizi, do you want to go in?" ”
"Enter."
Zhou Yu waited for the stool to move, and after getting off the stool, he deliberately smoothed out the folds left on his clothes because he had been sitting for a long time.
Since he came to Tianxiang Building on purpose, he still wanted to witness with his own eyes how wonderful the flying dance was.
With this thought, Zhou Yu walked towards the hall on the first floor.
The interior decoration of Tianxiang Building has undergone great changes, and there is no place dedicated to the leather and meat business before, and it seems to be much more empty at the same time, but it is not deserted.
On the contrary, because the hall is lined with rocks, flowers and trees, the scenery is used with screens to match the view, and the open space is divided into one by one, and many guests are sitting around in each open space, eating and drinking, and judging the skills of the dancers.
The assessee is humble and accepts and tries his best to change.
The tasters are comfortable and satisfied, and the silver is constantly appreciated.
Zhou Yu thought that Ruqing had said that this was already a place for dignitaries to gather, and he knew it in his heart.
Tianxianglou, which continues to operate in this way, those ordinary people who are illiterate and just want to find a woman to vent, I am afraid that they don't even have the courage to come in.
And the people who come in are all those who are vassally elegant or really elegant, and for these women who make a living by selling their talents, as long as they are willing to listen to their opinions, the benefits are very considerable.
"Wonderful."
Zhou Yu wanted to see what kind of wonderful person the former Oiran of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was.
At this moment, the girls in the screen all fell silent after the dance was finished.
All the guests looked at the red silk hanging down from the third floor to the lobby.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but look at it together.
A burst of drumming rang out.
Immediately after, there seemed to be an arrow echoing in the ear, which was so exciting that people couldn't help but hold their breath.
Swish!
A sword roared, and Zhou Yu looked up at the top of the red silk.
When he saw the top of the red silk, the girl who grabbed the red silk cloth with one hand and slid down, and waved the red gold sword and danced the sword at the same time, the four eyes were facing each other, and Zhou Yu's original expectation turned into surprise.
"Zhou Jingxian?"
The dignified county lord came to Tianxianglou to dance the sword?
He didn't remember that the owner of Tianxiang Building, Miss Wuluan, had any big backers behind the capital.
Zhou Jingxian's sword dance is crisp and neat, and there is no appreciation value.
But because she is the county lord, many people still give face and applaud, and they do not hesitate to exaggerate.
Some people even thanked them repeatedly, not only did they not think that Zhou Jingxian's move was unseemly, but they praised it more than once.
This made Zhou Yu, who was well versed in etiquette, not understand what was going on in front of him for a while.
And Zhou Jingxian didn't care about these people's praise, after she landed, she walked straight to Zhou Yu, and asked expressionlessly: "Yu Shizi also came to see the first dance of the dancing girl Tianxianglou?" It's too late for you to get the news, the good position has just been robbed, if you don't dislike it, you can share a box with me. ”
"I just...... Come and go, I didn't expect to be so lucky, I actually met the first dance of the girl Wuluan, since Sister Jingxian invited me to watch it together, I naturally won't refuse. ”
Zhou Yu's roundabout words made Zhou Jingxian a little uncomfortable.
Won't shirk?
I feel embarrassed.
Zhou Jingxian didn't want to embarrass others, and said bluntly: "The guests here are all here for the first dance of the dancing girl, Yu Shizi doesn't want to see it, don't be reluctant, anyway, you may not be able to see it next time you want to see it." ”
“……”
Zhou Yu remembered.
Zhou Jingxian, this girl, is very choking when she talks little, so.
Extremely unflattering!
