On February 5, Xiaohong also rushed to the capital with soap craftsmen.

Yang Fan took Xiaohong to the street to choose a site, preparing to open a soap workshop in the capital to produce soap and soap in large quantities.

With such a big family as Jinyiwei, money is indispensable.

Yang Fan asked Zhao Xiaoyu to bring people to assist Xiaohong, and the funds needed for the workshop were provided by the Jinyiwei Treasury first.

Yang Fan brought some good soap to the palace, there were good things, of course, he was filial to his father first.

After Yang Haowen used the soap, he praised it: "This thing is really magical, with a light touch on the body, it can be washed so cleanly, and it is slippery, and it is very refreshing after washing, Hao'er, where did this come from?"

Yang Fan said with a smile: "Now there is a soap workshop on Jingcheng South Street, and this soap is produced by the workshop. ”

Yang Haowen was curious: "How come I have never heard of such a useful thing before?"

Yang Fan said with a smile: "Of course, this soap only appeared at the end of last year, in fact, I don't hide it from my father, the soap workshop is a child's, and the soap making method I learned from a miscellaneous study." ”

Yang Haowen was even more surprised: "You still do this thing, you opened a soap workshop in the capital, this soap is afraid that it will soon become the darling of the capital, it is rare that you have this heart again, send it to your father first, but it is still a little less, there are thousands of people in the palace, so a few pieces of soap want to send my father?"

Yang Fan: "It's not that the child is reluctant, the better quality is all here, and when it is produced in the future, I promise to give priority to sending it to the palace." ”

Yang Haowen laughed and said: "That's pretty much the same, Hao'er, now there are nearly three hundred Jinyiwei, and I heard Ouyang say that all of them are martial arts masters." ”

Yang Fan smiled awkwardly: "I will hand over the recruitment to Zhuo Bufan." ”

Yang Haowen nodded: "It's almost time, I'm going to give you an order to go to Qingnan to inspect the construction of the canal, you go back and prepare well." ”

Yang Fan nodded solemnly.

......

The Jinyiwei command post has not yet been built, and Jinyiwei is temporarily crowded in the courtyard of South Street, and the space is obviously insufficient.

On February 10, the eunuch Tian Wen came to the courtyard of Nanjie with a holy decree to announce the decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the construction of the Qingnan Canal is related to the national fortune, the special Jinyi Wei commanded the Tongzhi Zhongyi Marquis Yang Fan to go to Qingnan to supervise the construction of the canal, a matter should be done, can be done expediently. ”

The Holy Decree is basically silent, and it is expedient, and this degree of freedom is very large.

The officials of the imperial court also have different opinions because of this holy decree.

"Since the establishment of this brocade guard, he has not done anything practical, and the emperor probably can't stand it. ”

"Every day is to patrol the streets, isn't this the business of robbing the soldiers and horses command department?

"It's okay to get this Yang Fan out, these days the official is terrified, for fear that his children will fall into the hands of Jinyiwei, and the official does not have 20,000 taels of silver to ransom people. ”

......

In King Ning's Mansion, Cai He, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, took a sip of tea, and his brows were deeply furrowed.

"Lord Wang, the emperor suddenly appointed Yang Fan as a messenger to supervise the construction of the Qingnan Canal, will there be anything wrong with this?"

Yang Haowen, the king of Ning, also looked solemn: "If you just supervise the construction of the canal, it doesn't matter, what I'm worried about is that this Yang Fan is making something else." ”

Cai He took a deep breath, Qingnan is King Ning's small treasury, so it's strange if he doesn't worry.

"Lord Wang, do you want to repair the book to Master Du, and let him stop the Sky Snatching Mine first. ”

King Ning's eyes sharpened: "No, the construction of the canal is by no means an overnight effort, who knows how long Yang Fan will stay in Qingnan, if the Tiantian Mine really stops for a few months, the loss will be too great." ”

Cai He frowned and said, "In case Yang Fan finds something, it will be a matter of breaking the sky." ”

Yang Haowu: "I wrote to Du Gao, let him behave in a low-key manner, the Sky Mine is hidden in the barracks, it is not easy to find out, even the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not unaware, we can't help but take Yang Fan too seriously." ”

Cai He shook his head and said: "The prince still remembers Fang Wenzheng, the imperial history of Qingnan Province, if he hadn't intercepted his entry into Beijing in time, I'm afraid it would have been a bad thing." ”

Yang Haowu stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, with a fierce glint in his eyes: "If Yang Fan honestly supervises the construction of the canal, then it is up to him, if he really dares to meddle in the matter of seizing the heavenly mine, Fang Wenzheng can die, and Yang Fan can die as well." ”

Cai He rubbed his temples, picked up the teacup and swallowed it in one gulp, and said: "If you really want to get to that point, it can only be like this, but after all, Qincha is different from the imperial history of Qingnan Province, and I am afraid that this matter will make a big fuss." ”

Yang Haowu snorted: "These are just plans for the worst, Yang Fan is just a Jinyi guard commander and knower, there is no foundation at all, I believe Du Gao can easily deal with it." ”

Cai He: "I hope so. ”

......

On this day, in addition to the emperor's announcement that Yang Fan was sent to Qingnan, there was another incident in the capital, and the popularity among the people in the capital was much higher than that of Yang Fan's Qincha.

Chu Yanran, the leader of Qiongxiang Building, redeemed himself and broke away from Qiongxiang Building.

I don't know how many dignitaries and nobles once wanted to redeem Chu Yanran, but in the end they all suffered Chu Yanran's refusal.

Although Chu Yanran was born in the dust, she thinks of herself as high, but fortunately, Chu Yanran not only has an excellent appearance, but what is even more rare is that she is particularly good at singing and dancing, and she is also proficient in literature and ink, which is quite popular with readers in the capital.

Some people speculate that Chu Yanran found someone she liked, and that person was a poor scholar, so Chu Yanran would redeem herself, probably because she wanted to live with the poor scholar.

Speculation is speculation after all, and only Chu Yanran knows what the facts are.

Qiong Xianglou was also generous, and gave Chu Yanran the little girl who was waiting beside her.

After Chu Yanran redeemed herself, there was basically no money left on her body.

Chu Yanran left Qiongxiang Building with the little girl, who was carrying a big lantern with a piece of gauze on the outside of the lantern.

The little girl had a novel face, and after leaving Qiongxianglou, she was about to start a new life, full of curiosity about the outside world.

"Sister Chu, where are we going?"

Chu Yanran was dressed in men's clothes, holding a folding fan in her hand, and she had a bit of a sour scholarly temperament.

"I don't know, the world is big, there will always be a place for us, there are too many people in Kyoto who have seen me, I want to go to the south, so that I can start a new life. ”

Little girl: "Sister Chu, you lost so many things, why did you keep this lantern?"

Chu Yanran shook her head and smiled: "Others think that this first Yuan Xi poem was written by me, I originally thought that the person who wrote the lyrics would come to Qiongxianglou to find me, but I thought wrong, maybe that person didn't care about such a poem at all." ”

The little girl nodded: "Now that this song has been sung in Kyoto, it is impossible for the person who wrote the lyrics not to know." ”

Chu Yanran's face showed a hint of loss: "It's a pity that I couldn't see each other in the end." ”。

The little girl grinned and said, "It's okay if you don't see it, maybe it's an ugly-looking old man." ”

Chu Yanran turned around and pinched the little girl's forehead: "Don't talk nonsense, and you can't just look at people by their appearance, I pay more attention to knowledge and cultivation." ”
