The emperor and the people had fun together. Dragon boat racing and polo competitions were held in Qujiang. People from half the city came to the southeasternmost part of Chang'an, not only to participate in the excitement, but also to have a glimpse of the sky.
Nie Yinniang also dressed up early, and then came to Qujiang with her servants and servants. She was a famous girl in Pingkangfang and the girl from Nanqu in Sanqu. Nanqu has always been famous for its skills and the banquets of nobles.
When scholars went on outings, they would inevitably invite famous Nanqu girls like them to host banquets or play chess and play as companions.
A lively day like the Dragon Boat Festival is naturally a good day for the girls in Pingkangfang. Even the girls from Beiqu, who are the least classy, will be too busy and their status will increase three to five times.
Nie Yinniang was twenty-eight years old. Although she was born in a jiafang, she was an official lady in the past. She was a low-ranking official in her family, but she was naturally beautiful. She also learned amazing sword dancing skills in the jiafang, and she also had a lot of alcohol. This made her even more...
It is famous among the high-end banquets held by nobles and scholars.
"Mr. Chen's carriage is here."
The fake mother Nie is thirty years old, and her charm is still there. Nie used to be a famous girl in Pingkangfang Nanqu. After her time was gone, she became an adoptive mother. Nie Yinniang was recognized by her wise eyes and taught her with all her heart.
, although a lot of time, energy and even financial resources were spent on Yinniang, the rewards are now great.
Usually an invitation from a nobleman is expensive.
This time during the Dragon Boat Festival, there was an extremely wealthy guest named Chen Lang. Not only did he pay a large sum of money for the invitation, but he also gave her a lot of jewelry and so on. Like all the other gentlemen, he became obsessed with Yinniang.
A truck will be sent here with another load of silk.
It's just a hundred pieces of silk, worth 20,000 yuan, and a pair of Hepu pearl gold earrings.
"Then Mr. Chen is really fascinated by you. Please take good care of Mr. Chen when we go to Qujiang today."
Nie Yinniang looked at herself in the bronze mirror, but was indifferent to the pair of pearl earrings handed to her. Even a hundred pieces of silk did not move her at all.
"What happened today?" the fake mother looked at her.
"Let's go," Nie Yinniang didn't answer.
When she was six years old, her family was ruined and she was reduced to a teaching studio. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Now, although she is very famous in Pingkangfang in Chang'an, and is even a high-status girl in Nanqu, she can still only perform as a performer, without having to do anything like Beiqu.
Those women also sell their flesh and blood,
But performing arts is actually also selling laughs.
There is actually no difference between yesterday's prince and today's prince. They are just spending money to buy a smile, so there is nothing to be happy about.
As she grew older, Nie Yinniang became increasingly unable to suppress her inner feelings.
Sitting on the luxurious carriage sent by Chen Lang, Yinniang always looked cold. When the carriage passed by Forresta Winery, she opened the curtain and looked at it carefully for a long time.
The fake mother glanced at her and saw that they were both women. She had also come from Yinniang's age and knew exactly what she was thinking at this time.
"It's all fate. Whatever you have in your life will eventually come to you. Don't force it into your destiny." She also looked at Hu Si, whose business was booming, and said,
Foresta Hu Restaurant is one of the top three Hu wine restaurants in Chang'an. It has the most charming and bold Hu Ji, as well as a variety of exotic Hu wines, as well as a variety of barbecued naan and other delicacies.
Forresta Restaurant is very famous in Chang'an, with three branches in Chang'an City.
The head of this wine shop is named Foresta, a beautiful Persian girl full of exotic customs. Of course, the reason why this wine shop can do so well in Chang'an is that besides Foresta's charming and charming person, the most important thing is actually her.
The boss behind it is Wu Huaiyu,
The earliest one was the Liangzhou An family, and later the Miyuan Wu family.
"Forresta is so lucky."
Yinniang sighed.
"So it is all destined. She has been suffering for many years, but now she is finally better. I heard that a son and a daughter were born in Guangzhou now," the fake mother also looked envious. In fact, in terms of age, she and
Foresta is almost the same,
But in the past few years, Fresta was just a Hu Ji who sold wine in a Hu store in the West City. She was a lowly slave girl. Later, when she met Wu Huaiyu, she was transferred.
She was a stay-at-home wife, and then became a concubine of the Wu family, and now she even gave birth to a pair of twins in Guangzhou.
Her result can be said to be the fruit that these promiscuous women desire most.
"Is everything destined?" Yinniang asked.
The fake mother came closer and whispered, "I asked someone to ask about Mr. Chen. What do you think he is?"
"What's your background?" Nie Yinniang smiled, "You can't be the young master of Duke Jiang's mansion, right?"
The fake mother shook her head, "That's not true, but she also came from the Duke's Mansion."
Yinniang put down the car curtain and played with a fragrant naan in her hand, but she didn't pay too much attention to it, because the girls from Nanqu were highly valued, and the people who usually came and went were either nobles or relatives, or even royal relatives and senior officials. Most people really couldn't invite them.
, even if a merchant has money, it will not work if he has no identity.
There are quite a few Guogong Mansion in Chang'an, and there are even more children who come from the Guogong Mansion.
The fake mother thought to herself, "This Mr. Chen is not a simple man. I originally thought he was just an ordinary dude, but when I inquired about him, I found out that he is a noble man of the fifth grade and is currently the Sima of the Governor's Office in Guangzhou."
Nie Yinniang was suddenly startled, "Sima of the Guangzhou Governor's Office? Then he must know the current situation of Sister Afu."
"Well, of course he knows that he is not only the Sima of the Guangzhou Dudufu, but also a member of Wu Xiangguo. This Chen Lang was originally a domestic slave in the Yongkang Palace and was the companion of the Second Young Master Li. Later, his sister became Wu Xiangguo.
Concubine..."
After some explanations from her fake mother, Nie Yinniang found out that this generous Chen Lang was actually Chen Sheng, the Sima of the Guangzhou Governor's Office, the former servant chief of Li Jing's second son Li Dezhou, and the second brother of Wu Huaiyu, the concubine of Runniang.
The three brothers Chen Runniang, Chen Xing and Chen Sheng are actually somewhat famous in Chang'an because they were originally slaves of the Li Jing family. However, after some encounters, they are now doing very well. In the eyes of many low-level people in Chang'an, this is simply a counterattack and a comeback.
example.
A maid born in a family became the favored concubine of the prime minister of the dynasty, and two servants, Chen Xing and Chen Sheng, also became fifth-rank officials.
Nie Yinniang couldn't help but think about it.
Why was Chen Sheng so generous to her? Her intuition told her that Chen Sheng was not like the playboys she had met before who were infatuated with her.
"Daughter, although Chen Erlang is said to have a humble background, now he has a bright future relying on Wu Xiangguo and Li Xiangguo's family. If he really likes you, my mother-in-law will be willing to help you." The fake mother said.
Nie Yinniang was not moved by these words. Although the two had lived together for many years and were really affectionate, since they were in this business, how could they not know that fake mothers make money by raising daughters. She is still young now and is the most capable person.
When it comes to making money, if someone really wants to redeem her life, it would have to be a sky-high price to do so.
Nie Yinniang felt that Chen Sheng could not possibly want to redeem her as a concubine. She felt that there must be a secret hidden in it. She just couldn't figure it out for the moment, but she believed that she would be able to figure it out after meeting Chen Sheng.
Thinking of this, she even started to look forward to it.
Chen Erlang, behind him was Wu Huaiyu, a man she had always admired and admired in her heart.
Qujiang bank,
Chen Sheng and Li Dejiang met in a teahouse box.
Li Dejiang went south to Lingnan with Wu Huaiyu before, but he returned to Chang'an after the year and was now transferred to the fourth rank of Zuowei Zhonglang General.
"After Hou Junji was driven back to Chang'an, the saint summoned him and severely reprimanded him. He was dismissed from his post and reflected at home. He may have secretly defected to the King of Wei."
As he spoke, a piece of paper was handed to him with a list on it.
"The chief ministers of the Wei Palace, Shi Du Chuke, Sima Su Xu, Shangshu Youcheng Liu Jie, secretary Lang Jianzhizhongshu Cen Wenwen, author Lang Xiao Deyan, secretary Lang Gu Yin, secretary general Jiang Yaqing, meritorious service officer Xie Yan,
Chai Zhewei, Chai Lingwu, Fang Yiai..."
Chen Sheng was a little surprised by the list that Li Dejiang brought out. These were all people who supported Li Tai. A Wei Wang Party was already being formed.
Du Chuke was the younger brother of the late prime minister Du Ruhui, Fang Yiai was the second son of the current prime minister Fang Xuanling, and the Chai brothers were the sons of the consort General Chai Shao.
Xiao Deyan was a sibling of Xiao Yu, the prime minister of the dynasty.
Both Cen Wenwen and Liu Jie are among the imperial pens that the emperor now trusts and relies heavily on.
Are so many people already secretly supporting Wei King Li Tai?
"What happened in Chang'an and what happened in the East Palace?" Chen Sheng was puzzled.
Li Dejiang stayed in Lingnan for a year before returning to Chang'an. In fact, it was the result of Wu Huaiyu's discussion with him, hoping that he could use his relationship with Liumen and his identity as Li Jing's son to help figure this out.
"It's too complicated. I can't figure it out for a while, but the situation has indeed changed drastically. The situation in the East Palace is already a bit bad."
"Recently, King Wei has been favored by the saint and the queen. King Wei wanted to expand his residence in Yankangfang, so the saint decreed that the entire Yankangfang be given to him, and all the other officials and people in the palace were moved to other places.
Now the King of Wei has requested to open the Prince's Academy of Wei, and the saint has agreed. I heard that the first batch of bachelors in the Academy of Wei were Cen Wenwen, Xiao Deyan, Gu Yin, Jiang Yaqing, Sheyan and others."
"Erlang, you have been back in Beijing for a while. Haven't you found out anything at all? Have you met the prince?" Chen Sheng asked.
He returned to Chang'an with the secret mission given by Huaiyu, while Huaiyu was still waiting for the results in Lingnan.
"The matter involving the East Palace and the Saint is so easy to investigate. I am at a loss as to where to start."
"Can't Erlang see His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"I am now the commander-in-chief of the left guard, and I, Aye, am the prime minister of the dynasty. How can I go directly to meet the prince?" Li Dejiang shook his head.
"Chai Lingwu and Fang Yiai like to hang out in Pingkangfang. They have recently fallen in love with Nie Yinniang of Nanqu, and they are jealous of each other."
One of these two people is the legitimate second son of Chai Shao, and the other is the legitimate second son of Fang Xuanling. They are also the quasi-consorts of the emperor's princess. They came from a wealthy family and were arrogant at a young age. They are famous dandy brothers in Chang'an City.
"So you arranged for me to go to Pingkangfang Nanqu to get close to Nie Yinniang?"
"Well, Chai Lingwu and Fang Yiai are both members of King Wei's party now, and they have close ties. I think you can get some clues from Nie Yinniang."
"Erlang, why don't you go directly to Nie Yinniang?" Chen Sheng asked with a smile.
"I have been in contact with another person in Pingkangfang recently,"
"who?"
"Mrs. Gongsun is also good at sword dancing. Chai Zhewei likes her very much and is stalking her. I plan to start with her."
