Hongying smiled playfully, but her eyes caught sight of the package on the Eight Immortals' table. Her smile disappeared, and she pointed at the package and said attentively: "Miss, is it possible that the lady is going on a long trip?"
Shui Lianyue poured herself another cup of tea, put down the teapot, and nodded gently, "Yes, Miss, you have a clearer understanding of my life experience. I am already in my prime years, and there are some things that I need to go back to resolve in person."
Hongying frowned slightly and pursed her pink mouth. Before she could speak, Shui Lianyue said again: "Don't worry, I will take you with me."
Sure enough, when Hongying heard these words, she smiled instantly, took Shui Lianyue's arm, and even kissed her, "Miss Hongying loves Hongying the most."
In fact, Hongying is still a little afraid of Shui Lianyue. She is not always so coquettish and affectionate. As long as she does not touch the bottom line of the young lady, recalling how Aunt Yang was worse than death in those years, she still has lingering fears. Miss
If it happens harshly, not everyone can bear it, although Hongying doesn't know what the young lady has suffered.[
Death is the best relief, but to die slowly, to have the spine broken, and to watch the bone marrow flowing all over the floor until it dries up, no one can bear it.
There is also the late magistrate of Long County who dug his grave and turned it into a pile of bones. He still has to bear the wrath of the lady, hang the city gate, and be exposed to the scorching sun.
Thinking about it now, my scalp feels numb and I break out in a cold sweat.
The two rested for a night, explained to the shopkeeper, and rode off the next day.
Longxian County is 320 miles away from Kyoto, and it will take two days to get there quickly. However, seeing that it is almost there, Shui Lianyue is no longer in a hurry, and stops and walks with Hongying, admiring the scenery along the way from time to time.
The scenery was so beautiful that it took me five days to arrive in Kyoto.
Kyoto is indeed lively and prosperous, and the markets are even more crowded. Surprisingly, even the businesses of small merchants and hawkers are frequented by people, and money flows into their pockets like water, which gave Shui Lianyue the idea of opening another store here.
.
Moreover, Kyoto is also grand enough, with carved corridors and painted pillars, and extravagance everywhere. Even the small houses and mansions are decorated in a luxurious way, let alone the three major families of the Jinxi Dynasty.
"Miss, miss, look, it's so lively over there, let's go and have a look." Hongying was like a small farmer entering the city. The bustling streets were dizzying to see. Even Shui Lianyue secretly praised Kyoto, Kyoto deserves to be the Kyoto.
In the past, apart from Long County and Baihui Mountain, she had few contacts with people and visited even fewer places. Now that she is here, her horizons are really broadened.
Well, please don't despise her. Although she is a modern soul, she is also attracted by the prosperous market of ancient times.
The most important thing is that everyone is here, and the services are all kinds of. After all, Longxian County is a remote and remote area. Her outfit is simply insignificant here, let alone pedestrians stopping and commenting.
However, it was just what she wanted.
Shui Lianyue was pulled forward by Hongying, and she was a little slack. She squeezed into the crowd, and then she realized that it was a tea tasting party, so many people gathered around.
A large one-meter-high stage, six mahogany square chairs, three mahogany carved tables, and tea sets were placed on the tables. Everything was available. When someone walked up to the stage, it turned out to be six young and handsome young men, all dressed in clothes.
The gorgeous clothes caused the onlookers below to talk about it.
"Look, look, the eldest son of the Mu family, ah, and the second young master of the Chu family, wow, they are so handsome."
"Yes, he looks so handsome, oh, who stepped on my toes?"
"Damn bitch, don't be embarrassed and conspicuous here. If a young master from a distinguished family can like you, huh, even without looking at your disgusting face, only I will marry you."
"".
For a while, everything was said, and Shui Lianyue just listened casually, but she did remember the Mu family and the Chu family.[
The three major families of the Jinxi Dynasty were the Mu family, the Chu family, and the Shui family.
Among them, the Shui family mainly deals in silk fabrics and embroidery work. The embroidery work of the Shui family has a long-standing reputation and is even more exquisite than the embroiderers in the palace. The silk fabrics are especially famous for Yun brocade. Even the concubines of the palace love it very much when they see the treasures.
, but the number of pieces of Yun brocade produced each year is limited, only three. Since then, it has become a treasure and is said to be hard to find.
The Mu family is mainly engaged in the production of jade and gold and silver jewelry. The Mu family has a monopoly on the jade industry of the Jinxi Dynasty, and the jewelry production is also a technology inherited for hundreds of years. It is unique and novel. Longjin Pavilion has become a favorite among the concubines of the imperial palace.
A place where princesses and princesses, down to wealthy ladies, often come and go.
The Chu family mainly operates pig iron smelting, and also operates some brothels and restaurants. However, the Chu family is also the target of being attracted by the royal family. The Chu family's pig iron smelting technology is unparalleled in the entire dynasty. The weapons of the entire dynasty are all from Chu.
Home.
Shui Lianyue was once the top leader of the organization. She had information at her fingertips and had a clear grasp of everything in this era. Otherwise, it would be a waste of the opportunity God has given her to be reborn.
After a hundred years, the three aristocratic families have almost monopolized the entire dynasty economically. My ancestor once proposed that he want the three aristocratic families to become courtiers and only serve the court, but the heads of the three aristocratic families refused.
In desperation, my ancestors had no choice but to change their ideas a little, and issued an imperial edict that could not be refused. All direct daughters born from the three major families must enter the palace and be drafted.
In the generation of the late emperor, the queen was the direct daughter of the Chu family, Chu Tinglan, and the Mu family had a concubine. Unfortunately, she broke the palace rules as soon as she entered the palace and was executed before she was favored. Because of the Mu family's wealth
Strong and not implicated.
Shui Yunxiu, the direct daughter of the Shui family, stood out and was named one of the four concubines, becoming Concubine Yun.
It was precisely this Concubine Yun who asked the late emperor for permission to grant Shui Lianyue a marriage. Anyway, Shui Lianyue didn't have a good impression of this Concubine Yun. Why should she make the decision about her marriage?
