Chengnei Dongshi

Crowds of people were walking on the bustling street, with buildings lined up on both sides. Several big umbrella hawkers on the roadside were shouting loudly. Drinkers were drinking noisily in the wine shop. The waiter of the cloth shop was busy greeting the guests. The shopkeeper of the jewelry shop was introducing the book enthusiastically.

There are also several calligraphy and painting stalls set up outside the restaurant, and the storyteller inside the teahouse is also receiving applause.

As the capital of Beiyong, cars are flowing like water and horses are swimming like dragons. It is just a bustling street. Yan Juan took a fancy to an inconspicuous corner at the intersection of the four streets and spent tens of thousands of taels to buy it and renovated it into a three-story building.

pavilion.

Good wine is not afraid of deep alleys, not to mention that Yu Lizui's reputation has gradually expanded from Xieyang City, and she has improved hundreds of cakes and desserts. She sends three different kinds of desserts to Lanxianyue every day. Fan Xuelan knows the fun.

After introducing it, people come all the time to ask when it will open.

After three months, the store has begun to take on a preliminary look. In order to inherit the gentleman's calm atmosphere, the dark gray eaves are surrounded by white flowers. Harmony windows carved with flowers, birds, spirits and animals are decorated on the second and third floors, and long windows with vines serve as welcome guests.

On the door, on the plaque is the same inscription as Chang Li Cheng, "The Gentleman Smiles."

These days, Fan Xuelan finally found a big difference in the reason why she ate desserts. Yan Juan confessed that she had changed her sweets.

The floods a few years ago caused a lot of fruit drop and food loss. She asked one of the farmers to clean it up and make it into enzymes. Then she refined the sugar from the enzymes. According to current technology, this sugar is called erythralose.

alcohol.

It has 70% of the sweetness of existing sugar, but only less than half of the calories. It is extracted in large quantities and added to various current pastries and snacks, ensuring that Fan Xuelan is delicious and does not add fat. This will prevent her from having a sweet tooth.

Is Fan Xuelan tempted?

For three months, the actors and actresses who had been attending the Fairy Moon Hall were looking forward to seeing what new snacks would come out of Fan Xuelan's room every day, not to mention the young men who wanted to please Fan Xuelan. They came several times a day to find out when Junzixiao would open.

Yan Juluo was sitting in the private room on the third floor, listening to Ye Xiu's report on the operating conditions of Guiwu Mountain this year. It was just as she expected. With the Queen Mother of Ping'an Temple in charge, who else would catch up with Guiwu Mountain to cause trouble?

Not only was the weather good this year, the drought was avoided, but the wine shop, bookstore, and shipyard all had revenue. Even if the six villages were not profitable yet, she had plenty of money to spend. After this wave in the capital,

After all the hype, we can start to consider Chengyun's plan to get Yu Lizui and Hui Yanlu out of Beiyong.

She handed Ye Xiu the million-dollar banknote left by Cheng Yun and the trade order requested by Emperor Yongde. She put on a bright smile and tried to cover up the harshness of the unreasonable request. She said in a soft voice: "Uncle Ye

!This is what Chengyun left behind before he left. I hope Uncle Ye can ensure that everything goes smoothly for the trade."

The corner of Ye Xiu's mouth twitched. After studying, he knew that this would happen sooner or later. Have the princes of various countries tried to bring it back to their own country without making trouble? Unfortunately, he had to leave the carp in his pond to the care of his servants.

As soon as he opened Emperor Yongde's trade edict, it turned out that it really required trade with four countries, not just Xiyao. He knew that Yan Juan was determined to get out of Beiyong.

"The construction speed of the canal treaty jointly signed by the four countries ten years ago was a bit slow, but after we added manpower in the past few years, it has been much faster. The canal transportation should be completed in less than half a year. We will use the Canglan River to prepare

The ship water transport department will be able to transport goods smoothly once the canal is completed."

"How many ships did Uncle Mo build this time?" Yan Juan kept thinking in her mind after not seeing Mo Shao for several days.

"The driftwood that attacked the gate last time was all high-quality golden nanmu. Mo Shao's work team built twenty cargo ships and they are ready at our dock at the mouth of the Canglan River. The Luanfeng Order in the girl's hand will be able to give orders in the future."

Yan Ju paused, pondered for a moment before speaking: "I'd better ask Uncle Ye to help me prepare a normal token. The easier it is to carry, the better, and the less easy it is to counterfeit, the better." She took out the gilt writing paper from her sleeve pocket and handed it over. .

Ye Xiu was surprised when he saw it and asked: "Girl! Did you know that this is the family emblem of Duke Anding of Nanchu?"

Yan Juan was also stunned and said: "I knew it was not simple, but I didn't know it was that simple."

"Ten years ago, Duke Anding's house was ransacked for treason. Duke Anding was convicted after collecting complete evidence. No one in the court could help him. At that time, all men and women, regardless of age, were beheaded. Only the little girl who had been raised by her grandmother since she was a child escaped the disaster, and she was nowhere to be found afterwards. As soon as Duke An Ding eliminated Nan Chu, he stopped tracing the orphans. Where did this girl come from?" Ye Xiu briefly explained. Fan Xuelan's life experience was revealed.

"It's not easy for Fan Xuelan, either!" Yan Juan said, thinking about where Fan Xuelan's calm demeanor came from. Now it's clear.

"The leader of Canglan River?" Ye Xiu was surprised and sighed when he saw Yan Ao nodding.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fan Xuelan was selected for the first place in the selection of famous prostitutes by the young masters of the aristocratic family who bought a lot of flower slips. The former legitimate daughter of the prince was reduced to a land of fireworks. How could she be embarrassed?

"Uncle Ye found a way to forge this letter. It will be the order of passage for our ships in the future." Yan Jue decided to protect Fan Xuelan. Even if Nan Chu saw the letter and wanted to investigate it, would he dare to find it on Emperor Yongde?

"Does the girl sympathize with Fan Xuelan?" Ye Xiu didn't think she would do anything meaningless.

Yan Yao moved her right hand that was finally able to move freely, thinking about how to explain it, and pursed her lower lip before saying: "It's hard for someone who loves sweets to be a bad person."

Ye Xiu smiled bitterly at the thought and said, "Girl, you are joking!"

"She is willing to use sweets to relieve her sadness instead of being cynical. Such a girl cannot be a bad person, not to mention she is still a poor woman."

After a few months of friendship, I gradually figured out her temperament. During the three months of living on the boat, she had jumped on board her boat before dawn for snacks more than once.

She was quite surprised that she could tell the recipe and process of the sweets she had tasted in detail, not to mention that she could not guess the depression of erythritol. A girl who is truly right about the things she loves does not seem to have too many Winding and twisting.

"The girl likes Miss Xuelan." Ye Xiu had heard about it before he came, and after Cheng Yun, he was the second one to crawl into her room at every turn.

Fortunately! This time it’s a woman!

Although his reputation is not very good, at least he knows how to transport people by boat to avoid suspicion, unlike someone who specializes in breaking into the palace...

Yan Juan chuckled when she heard Ye Xiu change his title: "Uncle Ye changed it so quickly!"

"A girl must respect the person she likes." Ye Xiu said it beautifully!

"Then it's settled that we'll give this note to Uncle Ye." Yan Ju smiled happily.

Through the window lattice, Yan Juan saw a boy on the long street, rushing towards the wine shop anxiously.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before he was brought to Ye Xiu via Tongzhen.

"Master Ye, the Empress Dowager's cosmetics shop brought a woman with a lot of red rashes on her face. She said that the rashes were caused by using Hui Yan Lu. She also found many people to discuss it. The shopkeeper asked the young lady to come over and ask. Ask what should I do?" The boy held his breath before he dared to breathe.

Ye Xiu glanced at the person who came and felt something intuitive. He asked tentatively: "How do you deal with it on weekdays?"

Suddenly, the young man took off the dagger from his arms and without saying a word, he went to greet Yan Jue, shouting: "Just deal with it like this!"

Ye Xiu's reaction was also very quick. He lifted up his long legs and chopped the man into a horse. The young man leaned forward and stabbed back. Ye Xiu lightly jumped and bent his knees to kick sideways. He turned around and knelt down on the young man's shoulder blade, and then used the short dagger to strike.

The window lattice flew away behind Yan Juan.

Yan Ju watched Ye Xiu's performance without moving at all. After suppressing it, she immediately gave Ye Xiu a round of applause and praised, "Uncle Ye's kung fu is so good!"

This was the first time she saw Ye Xiu show off his skills. Even the housekeeper around her was a master!

"Tell me! Who asked you to come?" Ye Xiu suppressed the head with a single lunge and reached out to remove the boy's jaw.

The boy smiled vaguely, "I'm just here to explore the way and show it to those who want to see it. That's all. The girl is so determined, no wonder it arouses curiosity."

After he finished speaking, black blood began to flow from his eyes, nose and ears, and he died without even half a cup of tea, so fast that neither of them had time to react.

Yan Jue was completely confused and looked at the people on the ground, and then at Ye Xiu. Someone is anxious to bring bad luck here before it even opens?

Ye Xiu had just straightened his robe when he heard the sound of officers and soldiers barging in from downstairs.

Yan Juan also burst into tears at the right time: "Uncle Ye! Yan'er is scared!"

Ye Xiu picked up Yan Ju and ran aside, waiting for the officers and soldiers to come up. He comforted her: "Don't cry, girl! Uncle Ye is here, it's okay!"

The officers and soldiers could arrive so quickly, and the two of them knew each other well, so they tried their best to behave as if they were under attack.

The prefectural government in Xieyang City has taken care of it, but Jing Zhaoyin and the others haven't taken care of it yet. Now that they have to bear the trouble, she can only admit it.

"What's going on?" Captain Liu asked as he looked at the two people hugging each other, seemingly not paying any attention to the corpse on the ground.

This also chilled her heart. No matter who it was, using a human life to test it? He was overestimating her!

"Sir, I don't know this person. When this person came up, he drew a knife and almost hurt our little girl."

Liu Captou passed his lower lip with his thumb, and asked with a hint: "You mean I'm not familiar with it? If I'm not familiar with it, I'll come to you specially to die?"

"My lord, what you said is wrong. I first came to your place to explore the store, and I met this guy. I really don't know him well."

"Whether you are familiar with it or not, you have to come with me on this trip to the Yamen today. Come on! Take all these back!"

"yes!"

All the detectives responded at the same time, and quickly put Ye Xiu on the shackles, and Yan Jue was also put on the shackles that did not fit.

"Sir! Our girl is innocent!" Ye Xiu could accept that he was in the shackles, but how could the girl do it!

Inspector Liu had no intention of spending time here. He gave Yan Ju a strong push and said arrogantly: "A life is lost here, who else can be innocent? Stop talking nonsense! Get out of here!"

Yan Jue winked at Ye Xiu and told him not to say any more. These people came here prepared to let them go through this. It was useless to say anything.

She was curious! Who was going to direct this scene?
