The sun rises and the moon sets again, and the three-day period is coming in an instant.
The deadline is at sunset!
Qin Huairou stayed up all night. When she saw the early morning light outside the window, she got up impatiently and called Xiao Yue up.
Xiaoyue was sleeping in a daze and was extremely depressed. While rubbing her eyes, she was pulled outside by her wife.
The early morning wind was bitingly cold, making Xiao Yue shiver with surprise. She was about to ask the lady why she got up so early. Qin Huairou handed over a brocade box.
"Shh, don't talk! Rush to Yulin County immediately, give this thing to the man, and let him use it to pawn ten thousand taels of gold."
"What? The contents of this brocade box are worth ten thousand taels of gold?"
This shocked Xiao Yue out of her drowsiness, and she subconsciously opened the box to take a look. Qin Huairou pressed her little hand down, glared and said sternly: "Don't look! You must teach that person exactly the same. If you are on the way,
If something goes wrong, don't come back to see me!"
Xiaoyue had never seen his wife take her so seriously. Her heart sank. She realized the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to be careless. She immediately put the brocade box into her clothes and left Qin Dynasty without looking back.
Mansion.
…
Time passes little by little, the clouds disperse and the sun rises, the sky clears up. Today's sunshine is particularly warm, lighting up the streets, the water, the willows, and the people of Yangzhou City are full of joy. A new day of life is here.
It started warmly.
Today, not only ordinary people took to the streets, but also a group of wealthy and proud people headed to the Plum Garden in the north of the city.
Meiyuan is a large house that has been idle for many years. The plum trees alone cover an area of two to three acres, not to mention the pavilions and pavilions inside. It can be said to be one of the most luxurious mansions in Yangzhou City. This house was built by a corrupt official in the previous dynasty, because
The area was too large, and there were too many decorations inside. No one could afford it, and no one was willing to buy it. It has been idle ever since it was imprisoned by the imperial court.
But today there is a brand new house number hanging on it - "Prince Yong's Mansion".
Three months ago, the emperor consecrated the third prince as Prince Yong and sent him to Yangzhou. He gave the plum garden to the third prince as his residence. After three months of arrangement, he can finally move in officially.
Speaking of King Yong, this title is actually not very honorable.
Just from the word "Mediocre", you can feel the emperor's view of the third son. Because he is mediocre, he must leave Kyoto early to avoid becoming someone else's pawn in the future struggle for power, and may even lose his life.
The third prince, Li Shou, was self-aware, so he came to Yangzhou in advance and spent a long time relaxing in Yangzhou.
The third prince may not be a big figure in the capital, but he is definitely a heavyweight in Yangzhou. After all, he is of royal blood, he has the possibility of inheriting the throne, and he is a king after all.
In the eyes of the vast number of wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou, being able to establish a relationship with the third prince is definitely a huge source of support.
Therefore, when they heard that His Highness Prince Yong was officially moving into Yangzhou City today, the wealthy businessmen who got the news had prepared gifts early and had already blocked the door of Prince Yong's Mansion.
There is also news that King Yong is not only planning to make friends with celebrities in Yangzhou today, but also seems to want to recruit aides from them.
Nowadays, the court is in turmoil, and the prince at the center of the turmoil has few advisers behind him to make suggestions. Not everyone may have the intention to fight for the throne. At least they have to save their lives in this battle for the throne, right?
There will be a grand banquet in the Plum Garden today.
In the Plum Garden of Prince Yong's Mansion, more than a hundred banquet tables have been set. Hundreds of servants and maids have been busy all night for the banquet. Various dishes have been displayed in front of the tables. The aroma of meat lingers in the garden, mixed with the plum blossoms that have penetrated into the earth.
The fragrance is like the perfect combination of appetite and taste, and all the wealthy businessmen present are salivating.
But we can't eat yet. There are still many visitors entering the three-story pavilion hall opposite the Plum Garden.
To show respect, Li Shou personally received every guest and accepted every gift.
In just one morning, the second and third floors were filled with gifts, the value of which was comparable to the decades of accumulation of the entire Xia family.
"Boss Tong from the world of fragrant food has arrived and presented me with a piece of Li Jinhua Shang."
While making the announcement, the retainer quickly wrote down the list of visitors and gifts.
Soon, the middle-aged man who thought he was dressed up for a trip bowed into the building, his voice trembling with excitement: "Cao Cao Cao... Tong Daren, the boss of Cao Min Xiang Shi Tian Xia, comes to see His Highness Prince Yong."
In the hall, the cross-dressing man sitting at the head of the table is young, in his early thirties. I don't know if he is young or casual. His manner is not majestic. He always has a frivolous smile on his face. He is playing with the white jade in his hand at the moment.
Wine glass, look at it with relish.
The boss surnamed Tong didn't get a response after speaking. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He couldn't help but add: "His Royal Highness, the common people..."
At this time, Li Shou turned around. He did not look at the people in the hall, but was attracted by the brocade clothes that came with them.
"Made by Li Jin? Hurry and present it so that I, the king, can have a good look at it."
The scene was really embarrassing. Just when Boss Tong didn't know how to get off the stage, a solemn and gentle female voice came from the stairwell to the second floor: "Thank you very much, Boss Tong. Please sit outside the hall, Boss Tong. I apologize for the poor reception."
Outside the hall, there was a long queue of people waiting to be received. Everyone came to present treasures, so it was inevitable that they would start to compare themselves and see what treasures others had prepared.
There was one person in the team who stood out in particular.
This person is wearing a red dress and a veil. She has an outstanding figure and is extremely beautiful. Even if you don't look at her face, her figure alone is a stunning beauty who has brought disaster to the country and the people. Her eyes are like invisible needles and threads, and she will be pierced in the heart by just one look.
.
Needless to say, this is definitely for His Highness Prince Yong.
There are only a handful of people with such stunning beauty in Yangzhou. If you think about it, only the girl Xian'er from Yichun Courtyard could appear here.
Yesterday's mysterious man offered a high price of 100,000 gold in exchange for Miss Xian'er's time for one day. It turned out that he was using it to please His Highness Prince Yong!
Everyone only saw the figure of the woman in red, but failed to see the frosty face under the veil. Beside her, a foreigner dressed as a wealthy businessman lowered his head at all times, looking at the woman beside him from time to time, and then said with only
A voice they both could hear said:
"Junior sister, this matter is of great importance. No matter what, we must please King Yong. We must not show off to others."
"You don't need to tell me! I know. I really don't know what Master is thinking. What is there to cling to for a powerless and idle prince?"
"Don't guess what Master is thinking, as long as it doesn't mess up the plan."
"Don't worry, as long as it's a man, there's nothing I, Luo Xian, can't handle."
"Junior sister, you are good at everything, but you are too arrogant. Master wants me to keep an eye on you because I am afraid that you will get into trouble because of this. I want to face the young man named 'Xia Chunqiu' yesterday, if someone hadn't stopped me, Junior Sister's identity
I’m afraid it’s been exposed.”
"Xia Chunqiu!"
For some reason, Luo Xian became upset as soon as she heard these three words. In her entire life, no one had ever said so righteously that she was not the right person. The key point was that it was so well-founded that no one could refute it.
"That kid, I will definitely kill him next time I see him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man whispered: "Shh! Look in front of you."
Luo Xian turned around and saw that the person in front of him was none other than that damn 'Xia Chunqiu'?
I never noticed before, why did he come to Prince Yong’s Mansion? (To be continued)
