After Yilan and Lingxi left, Ling Ruo held a book on the swing and read slowly until someone took the book away from her hand. When she raised her head, she saw a pair of dark pupils, so familiar.
The next moment, a smile appeared on her cheek, "Why is Fourth Master free to come here today?"
Yinzhen hasn't been to Jingsiju for a while since he took over the errand from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he never thought he would come today.
Yinzhen put the book aside and took her hand and said: "I see that the weather is very good today. I remembered that you have never been out since you entered the house. You must be very depressed staying in the house all day, so I wanted to take you with me."
Take a walk outside, I wonder if Ling Fujin is willing to show his face?" He rarely joked.
"Leaving the house? Are you serious?" Ling Ruo looked at her reflection in Yinzhen's eyes, feeling uncontrollable joy in it. As soon as she entered the waiting door, it was as deep as the sea. Although she longed for the freedom outside the house, she also understood her identity and had never
I thought that one day I could step out of this house and see the outside world.
Infected by her joy, Yinzhen stroked away her hair that fell in front of her eyes and chuckled: "Of course it's true, unless you don't want to."
Ling Ruo tilted her head and said with a faint smile: "Fourth Master seems to be in a good mood, but have you finished the household errands?"
Standing under the light golden sun, Yinzhen was so dazzling that Ling Ruo couldn't face it, "It's not far from complete, but there is some progress. Now 60-70% of the owed silver has been collected." Yinzhen said in an understatement,
However, Lingruo knew what the 60% to 70% represented. It was more than one million taels of silver. To be able to recover such a huge amount, one can imagine the hardships Yinzhen had to put in.
Ling Ruo went back to the house, took off her jewels and gold hairpins, and changed into ordinary clothes. Then she followed Yinzhen to the outside of the house. She once again saw the bustling streets and alleys with people coming and going, which made her feel more friendly. She turned her head and looked at Yinzhen.
The carefully carved side face said softly: "Thank you, Fourth Master."
Yinzhen didn't speak, but held her hand a little tighter. Along the way, Ling Ruo glanced curiously at the vendors on both sides from time to time. When passing a certain place, Ling Ruo suddenly shook off Yinzhen's hand.
: "Fourth Master, I'm going to buy something."
When she came back, Yinzhen found that there was a bag of things in her hand. When he opened it, it was a bag of freshly roasted chestnuts. Ling Ruo took out the chestnuts that were still very hot and blew on them while peeling them. After peeling them, he handed them to
Yinzhen said from the side of his mouth: "Fourth Master, try these chestnuts while they are hot and see how they taste?"
After tasting one, Yinzhen nodded and said, "It's sweet and delicious, it's very good."
Ling Ruo also peeled one and put it into his mouth, tasting the same taste as in his memory, "Lu Ji of the Western Jin Dynasty once wrote an annotation for the Book of Songs: Chestnuts are found in all five directions, but those born in Yuyang and Fanyang are sweet and delicious.
The place is not good enough. Mr. Gao has worked for dozens of jobs here.
For the sugar-fried chestnuts, I always only choose chestnuts from Yuyang Fanyang, so the taste has never changed for decades. I remember that I used to pester my brother to come here to buy a pack of chestnuts, and then peel them back.
At home, my brother is always reluctant to eat more."
"If you like it, I will buy it for you every day from now on." He said, with a Hexi smile in his eyes. He never knew that a woman could be so satisfied with a small chestnut.
Gentle as jade...Ling Ruo discovered for the first time that this word could also be used for Yinzhen. At that moment, Ling Ruo was fascinated by Yinzhen's inadvertent smile. Perhaps, this was the real him, a
The fourth elder brother was as gentle as jade, courteous and courteous; but unfortunately he was lost in the hard life of the palace.
She closed her eyes, fearing that the heat that had climbed up to her eyes would turn into tears and fall. After the heat subsided, she opened her eyes and smiled: "No need, no matter how good the food is, there will be a day when you get tired of it. I
I don’t want to ruin the beauty of this memory, so I’d rather eat it once in a while.”
The wind came gently, messing up the fine tassels in her hanging hair. Yinzhen straightened the tassels for her and said, "Okay, tell me when you want to eat, and I will come out with you?" This is tantamount to saying
Then the prime minister gave Ling Ruo a promise, promising that he could leave the house occasionally.
Ling Ruo was moved but speechless. She just held Yinzhen's hand silently. Yinzhen almost gave her the greatest favor. It had nothing to do with status and glory, but the greatest favor a man can give to a woman. Even the Nian family also gave her the greatest favor.
I have never received it. No matter how much I say at this time, it is useless. I can only spend my whole life to repay Yinzhen's favor and wait for Yinzhen to let go of Nalan Meier, who is not worth his thoughts at all.
Along the way, when passing Chaoyangmen Street, he found that everyone was running forward, and the front was blocked by water. Yinzhen grabbed a person passing them and asked: "What happened in front?"
The man said with excitement on his face: "You don't know, when the tenth brother of the Chao Dynasty was setting up a stall in Chaoyangmen, he was a seller. I heard that he owed money to the Ministry of Accounts and had no money to pay it back, so the fourth brother forced him to ask for the seller's money.
, the stalls are full of precious things and even some were given by the emperor. Normally we are not so lucky to see them. Now that we have this opportunity, why don’t you all go and take a look? If you want to take a look, hurry up, otherwise
You won’t be able to grab a good seat if you’re late.”
Did you hear that Yin Zhen actually set up a stall on the street to sell things? Yinzhen’s face immediately darkened and he walked quickly to a crowded place. Ling Ruo quickly followed him. Before he reached the stall, he heard a rough big voice.
The voice was shouting there.
"Have you seen this? This is a lacquered and painted vase from the previous dynasty. There are only a few of them in the world. There is also this saber with a jade handle and a burnt enamel sheath with a gold body and a three-foot-tall coral ornament. Those are the long-lived Lord's rewards.
The treasures that came down from the palace, now I am short of money, if you like it and can afford the money, just take it away."
"Master Ten, this is a gift from the Emperor. Do you really dare to sell it?" someone asked from the side.
"I'm almost being driven to death. Why don't you dare? If it doesn't work, I'm going to sell the Tenth Master's mansion. Why, are you interested? Take the two hundred thousand taels of silver; if you don't have it, leave."
Go ahead and make Master Xun happy, or else I will twist your head off."
From the gap in the crowd, Ling Ruo saw a stout man with a square face and big ears standing in the middle. He must be the 10th prince, Yin Zhen. His appearance was not similar to that of Yin Zhen, only the chin was slightly similar.
Today, there are nearly twenty princes in the Holy Emperor, and there are more than ten adults. Among them, the eight, ninth, tenth, and fourteenth princes have a very good relationship. The eighth prince, Yinhu, is the leader and they advance and retreat together.
Yinzhen's face was as gloomy as water at this moment. He pushed aside the people in front of him and strode to Yin? He glanced at the rare treasures on the ground and Yin? had written the four characters "Sell to pay off debt" in front of the stall.
Qi Zi shouted: "Old Shi, what are you doing? How dignified is it that my dignified brother is setting up a stall here?!"
Yin? Yinzhen glanced sideways and said in a strange way: "Hey, isn't this the fourth brother? What? Which Qing law stipulates that the elder brother cannot set up a stall? Besides, I need to sell things here to raise money, why don't I pay homage to him?
Fourth brother, you gave me these things. If I don’t sell these things, how will I get the money to pay you back?”
"Return your silver not to me but to the court!" Yinzhen snatched the enamel sheath and jade-handled saber in Yinzhen's hand, "Let's go back with me."
Yin? Stared at the ground and spat: "What the hell, you don't even regard me as a brother, why should I listen to you? I tell you, I will sell you today, the Emperor."
It’s no use even coming here.” As he spoke, he shouted at the top of his lungs: “Whoever wants to buy it, buy it quickly, there is no store like this after passing this village.”
There were many people around to watch the fun, and it was really strange that my brother had to set up a stall. As for buying? Most of them were tributes from the imperial court and treasures in the palace. Even if the people were really rich, they would not dare to think about it.
, Hiding items in the palace secretly is a matter of losing your head.
Ling Ruo looked on and shook his head secretly. There were rumors that among the elder brothers around the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother was an expert and the fourteenth elder brother could lead troops. Only the tenth elder brother had not liked reading since he was a child.
He doesn't have much ability, he is just a fool. Now it seems that it is indeed the case. No one with a brain would do such a reckless thing. This is tantamount to a slap in the face of the imperial court.
