The drunken fairy house in the north of the city is as lively as ever today.
Zuixianju has become famous in the past two years and has become one of the most famous restaurants in Wangdu.
Its biggest feature is that every afternoon there will be storytelling or singing songs to perform. Because the books or songs are written by zuixianju, they are not in other places. Therefore, at this time of the day, many people come to order a few dishes and a pot of wine to enjoy it.
The lobby of zuixianju usually entertains those civilians, while the dignitaries will choose elegant private rooms on the second or third floor.
Today is a story about a scholar and a young lady. He is said to be a handsome scholar with a poor family and can no longer support his studies. Once in a while, the scholar saved a girl from a wealthy family. The girl's family recruited him as her son-in-law in order to repay his kindness, and supported him to study and take exams
When the girl with a soft voice on the stage was singing with a sad and happy tune that the scholar was named No.1 in the Jinluan hall, the beautiful princess took a fancy to the scholar's talent and was willing to marry down, and the two girls served one husband together
At this time, one of the guests at the bottom of the table lowered his voice and said with a strange expression on his face Hey, speaking of the princess, have you heard about that? "
One of the scholars dressed up asked in doubt, "what's the matter?"
The other, with a meaningful smile, said, "of course I heard that Brother Ziyang, you are too ignorant to know anything about it
Ziyang asked curiously, "tell me, brother Shihong, what's the matter?"
Shihong did not betray the truth, but quietly said, "it is said that the second princess in our palace fell in love with a handsome little monk in Huangjue temple and ran away with others secretly."
"Not a little monk." The other said, "I heard that it was a bodyguard in the palace. It was said that when they were in the palace, they had already been uncooked and cooked. But the Emperor didn't agree, so the second princess eloped with her lover
Ziyang was so excited by such a beautiful thing that he asked, "is it a little monk or a bodyguard?"
"I don't know." Shihong looked around and said with a smile, "it's said that our two princesses are so beautiful that they can commit themselves to elopement. It's really gorgeous. It's very enviable. Why can't I meet... "
"So, I heard that even the little eunuchs in the palace are very beautiful. I'm afraid that the second princess has raised Diao's eyes, and she can't look down on you and me
"Ha ha ha, that's right! Come on, let's drink and listen to music It is said that a new girl has come to Cuiyan building recently. Although she is not as beautiful as the second princess, she is also a rare beauty... "
Not only this table, but in the lobby of zuixianju, almost every table is talking about the news that has been spread in the king.
Such a beautiful thing, only two days, has swept the entire Wangdu, street know Lane smell. But the object of the second princess's elopement has been handed down by word of mouth. In addition to the original little monk and bodyguard, there is also a little eunuch.
It is said that the second princess and a pretty little Eunuch in the palace are in love with each other. The false Phoenix and Xu Huang are discovered by the emperor and want to kill the little eunuch. The second princess refuses to give up, so she and the little eunuch escape from the palace secretly
……
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous
In the dongnuang Pavilion of Chang'an palace, the emperor's thunder clapped the book case angrily. His face was red and his breath was disordered. It seemed that he would faint at any time.
Duke Liu was very happy for him. He asked the eunuch to take nangongyue's special pill and serve the emperor. He comforted him: "emperor, please calm down. This is just the nonsense of the unscrupulous people in the market... "
Lu Huaining, the commander of the royal guards, knelt down, but did not dare to come out.
After using the medicine, the emperor's face gradually improved, and asked angrily, "what did those obstinate people say?"
Lu Huaining lowered his head and said, "they are gambling on the emperor. Are you going to give the second princess to the bodyguard, the little monk, or the little eunuch Now, there are more people taking care of the guards. "
"Damn it!"
The emperor suddenly threw out a cup and fell to the ground with a thump.
The emperor took a deep breath and asked, "where did the news come from? How is it that everyone knows everything about the second princess? "
Lu Huaining murmured bitterly in his heart and said, "they are all handed down from some restaurants and teahouses. It's impossible to know the source of those good deeds when they are passed from one to another." Restaurants and teahouses are all mixed places. It's impossible to find information sources.
The emperor's voice was as cold as ice, "can the second princess fall?"
"I've ordered people to chase south." Lu Huaining said, "only this time has been delayed for a long time. Although the ministers have been searching all the way, I am afraid there will still be some omissions and miss the whereabouts of the second princess."
Speaking of this, the emperor was very angry. If Feifei Zhang found out that the second princess had left the palace, he would have told him that he had already found her. How could he have got such a situation. The face of the royal family was lost by this shameless rebellious girl.If the queen had not been worried about the second princess's illness, she would have been kept away for a long time.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He said in a cold voice, "Huairen, pass on my will. Concubine Zhang's goddaughter has no way. She will be reduced to a concubine and fined a year's salary. If she closes the palace and thinks about her faults, she can't come out without my will."
Is this a long-term ban?
Mr. Liu quickly responded and arranged for someone to go forward and send a message to the queen.
The concubines of the Imperial Palace, whose positions rose and fell, were all the emperor's wishes.
The emperor drank a mouthful of herbal tea, and the anger came down. He said in a deep voice: "keep looking! As soon as there is the whereabouts of the second princess, I will immediately take her back to me... " He went on, gnashing his teeth, "life or death!"
This sentence "regardless of life and death" makes Lu Huaining quiet, but also makes Nangong Yue some unexpected pick eyebrows.
Nangong Yue turned over the account books on his hands, while he was calculating. He asked, "does the emperor really say so?"
"Yes." Lily said with a smile, "they didn't avoid the little eunuchs who served in Chang'an palace. I'm afraid the whole palace has spread all over the place now Princess, you are so wise. I thought why I didn't send a message to sister Yimei this time, but let Zhu Xing do it. You guessed that the news of the restaurant would spread faster. "
"This is one of them." Nangong Yue shook his finger and said, "the second thing is that it involves the royal face. The emperor will definitely let the royal guards investigate it. It's so eye-catching. In contrast, most restaurants and teahouses come and go in different ways every day. If you want to check, you can't find the source. As for the third... " She raised her chin slightly and said haughtily, "after all, Hua Yan is a shop facing the lady girl. I'm afraid that I will pollute my shop with such beautiful things."
Lily giggled and flattered, "so to speak, it's still wise and wise."
One side of the hundred flowers with a smile on the end of a cup of tea, said: "princess, you rest for a while to see it."
Nangong Yue put down his account book and yawned lazily.
Since he became famous in Wushou hall, Nangong Yue has been reading the account books these days. The more he looks, the more headache he will have. I'm afraid no one believes that the inner house of the palace is in such a mess. To straighten out these things, we can't do them in a day or two.
However, there is still at least half a year before Xiao Yi comes back. She has enough time to take her time.
"Lily, you go to open the warehouse tomorrow, take some materials to the sewing room, and let them make people's autumn clothes and winter clothes, each with four bodies. First drive out two autumn clothes, and then slowly do the rest. The maid's autumn clothes are lilac, the daughter-in-law is lotus root, and the mothers are brown. As for the winter clothes, you can handle them according to the rules of this palace. In the future, you will follow my rules, and in January and July of each year, you will measure the clothes for the servants in the mansion, four clothes for each season, and two coats for winter. "
Lily said with a smile, "yes. The princess. Those little maids must be very happy
The maids in the palace were all dressed in ready-made clothes bought from the ready-made clothes shop. On the one hand, the size was somewhat inappropriate. On the other hand, most of the people who went to buy the clothes took off a lot of money and bought them at will. In this way, a pretty girl in her twenties and thirties was dressed like a daughter-in-law in her twenties and thirties.
Nangong Yue rubbed his forehead and said, "let Aung an and mother Zhang choose three reliable daughters-in-law. One is in charge of the storehouse in the inner courtyard, the other is in charge of the adjustment of the young maids who have just entered the government, and the other is responsible for the rewards and punishments of the people in the government and the monthly payment. I will give them several people. I only look at the results. After these trivial matters do not need an Niang and mammy Zhang to do at the same time, they just need to take care of these things and don't make any mistakes. As for the private storehouse of Fufeng courtyard, Baihui holds the key for me just like when I was in Mo Zhu Yuan. "
In addition to two managers, there are only six caretakers in a royal mansion. If you want to talk about it, it will become a laughing stock of the king's capital!
"Let's do it for the time being." Nangong Yue bent his lips and said, "I'll find someone to come over tomorrow. You can pick out a few servant girls. There are too few people in the palace. In addition, if you pass on my words, I will promote a few stewardesses among the old people in the palace... "
Lily asked curiously, "princess, do you want to use the people of the palace?"
"It depends on their nature." Nangong Yue laughed and said, "what's more, this Zhennan Wangfu belongs to Zhennan king. I'm just a new daughter-in-law. I can't stretch my hand too far. I'm just a new daughter-in-law
Lily doesn't understand, but she also knows that her girl has an idea. She must have her intention to say so.
Nangong Yue finished the flower tea and thought of one thing and said, "by the way, I said last time that I would like to invite my elder sister to come and play some days later. It would be better to hit the sun when choosing a day, and it would be better to hit the sun on September 18. You go to the next few posts for me, sister Xi, sister Yi, and Liu Niang are invited together. Let chef Zhang from the big kitchen in the courtyard prepare some special snacks. " This cook is the one given by the emperor.
Lily smile ha ha ground should, from go to prepare the post does not mention.
After explaining all this, Nangong Yue will continue to turn over the account books. At this time, magpie came to report: "princess, my uncle has brought you the private Treasury in the mansion.""Brother is here?" Nangong Yue got up happily and said, "follow me out to meet you."
When Nangong Yue got married, the 128 carrying dowry did not include her original private Treasury in the mansion.
Different from ordinary aristocratic girls who only have some private money, nangongyue's small private Treasury is amazing. Most of them are the rewards given by the emperor, Queen and Empress Dowager in recent years, the gifts from each family when she was granted the county head and princess in Jin Dynasty, as well as the silver earned by her own shops in recent years, as well as Chuang Tzu, shop, house lease, land lease, etc. If these come along with the dowry, they will not be able to be put down with one hundred and twenty-eight kilograms. In this way, they will exceed the princess's share. So, can only wait for her to get married, and then send over.
Several days did not see Nangong Xin, Nangong Yue welcomed him to the flower hall in the front yard, let people offer his favorite snacks, warm talk. By the lily, they took a few servant girls, women to check and make books, and by the way opened two small warehouses.
It's a pity that Xiao Yi is not here, and it's not convenient to keep Nangong Xin for dinner. When everything is checked, he is reluctantly sent back.
After a few days in a hurry, Nangong Yue finally finished reading all the books in the mansion. It was September 18, which happened to be the day of the small banquet.
Before then, Nangong Cheng, Jiang Yixi and Yuan Yuyi arrived one after another.
This is the first time that Xiao Yi left the Wangdu. When they saw Nangong Yue, they were all relieved.
Nangong Yue set the place for guests in the small flower hall beside the garden. He thought that after lunch, he could stroll around the garden, sit and enjoy the flowers.
In the small flower hall, there are already a table of fresh fruits and snacks, mung bean osmanthus dim sum, cheese milk bean roll, bean paste cake It looks colorful. All of them are the best of chef Zhang. They are both exquisite and beautiful.
They were drinking tea, eating snacks and chatting casually, just as Nangong Yue had not yet left her boudoir.
The girls often talk about Wang Du's fashionable clothes, jewelry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, when chatting, they accidentally mentioned the most popular topic in Wangdu recently, about the second princess.
Yuan Yuyi said with a complicated expression It seems that the second princess is not in the palace. My mother entered the palace yesterday, and both the emperor and the Empress Dowager were very angry
"Not really." Jiang Yixi said definitely, "I heard from my father that the emperor has sent out the royal guards to find the second princess. I think the second princess should be found soon." She felt a little sad in her heart. She didn't expect that the second princess should be so bold.
From last year's peace event, due to various interests, it was finally suppressed by grass and ended with qujiayue.
However, this time the flight has been known to all. The rumors of Wang Duzhong are getting worse and worse. Even the girls in their boudoir have heard of it. We can imagine how widespread the rumors are.
I don't know where the second princess went. Did she elope with anyone?
Whether it is or not, now that the royal face is damaged, I am afraid it can not be done well!
Sure enough, the original jade Yi chin first way: "listen to the Empress Dowager's tone, I'm afraid even if the two princesses find back, life will not be easy."
Nangong Cheng sits on one side, quietly, without saying a word. A complex color flashed in her eyes, but she soon returned to calm. There is no need to think about the past.
"Well, let's not talk about such a disappointment." Yuan Yuyi reluctantly smiles, and then looks up to the hall outside, "it's already three quarters, how come Liu Niang hasn't come?"
Another quarter of an hour later, a little servant girl finally came to report that: "the imperial concubine, several girls, the carriage of Miss Fu Liu has entered the mansion." Fu Yunyan was the last to arrive.
After a while, the "Wang Wang" dog barking was heard outside the flower hall. The girls immediately realized that it was the barking of Fu Yunyan's dog.
Jiang Yixi couldn't help laughing: "there is a saying that if you don't see the shape, you should first hear its voice. Liu Niang is good. If you don't see the shape, you should first smell the dog! "
"Liu Niang is too slow." Yuan Yuyi blinked and suggested with a smile, "she was the last one to arrive. She should be punished for three cups of wine."
"That won't do." Unexpectedly, Nangong Yue rejected it first. Yuanyu raised her eyebrows and listened to her eloquence and continued, "sister Yi, you are not allowed to drink here, and plum wine can't be made. If you go back with a whole body of wine gas, your family still can't point out how to bury me! You are not allowed to come to me in the future. Who am I going to complain to? "
Her words made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful.
At this time, Fu Yunyan and Yao RI finally enter the small flower hall under the guidance of the servant girls. When they see them all laughing happily, they can't help but laugh.
Nangong Yue's eyes pause on Fu Yunyan's gorgeous smile. She can't help but think of Nangong Xin. She has to find a time to talk to Lin
"Liu Niang, you are here at last." Nangong Yue met with a smile and took Fu Yunyan to sit down beside her. "If you don't come to Yi elder sister, you'll soon see through the autumn water."
Fu Yunyan said with embarrassment, "I also want to come out earlier. However, my grandmother is not here recently. I have to get my mother's permission to leave the house. My mother seems to have eaten gunpowder these days. I begged for a long time before she let me out. "Yuan Yuyi is stunned. She and Fu Yunyan are cousins, and Madame Fu is her cousin. As far as she knows, Madame Fu is not particularly good-natured, but compared with her mother, Princess Yuncheng, it is no temper. It must have something to do with Fu Yunhe's trip to southern Xinjiang.
Not only yuan Yuyi, but also some of her girls thought of this. The atmosphere was a little heavy.
Looking at their faces, Fu Yunyan said in a hurry: "you don't want to fork in, it's because of the brocade Heart meeting!"
Jin Xin Hui?! Women Zheng Zheng Zheng, how to pull Jin Xin Hui?
Fu Yunyan looked helplessly at Jiang Yixi and Yuan Yuyi, "sister Xi, cousin Yi, have you received the post from Jinxin association?"
Jinxin association was founded by a very talented woman hundreds of years ago. It was held once every three years. Only unmarried girls could take part in the competition. Most of these girls came from famous families and occasionally came from poor families. Their father and brother must also be officials. In a word, it is impossible for ordinary people to participate in Jinxin club.
Once upon a time, participating in the Jinxin meeting was also the aspiration of Nangong Cheng, but she didn't expect to get married before this day.
Jiang Yixi and Yuan Yuyi both nodded.
Fu Yunyan reluctantly spread out his hand. "My mother doesn't know where to get the news. She knows that you two and cousin Xia have received the post, but I haven't. this is not angry. In the early morning, I went to see you and trained me to be bloody." After she stopped, she said angrily, "it's nothing at all. After talking about it, I have to blame that Yongxu will have to give me some posts!"
"Liu Niang, have you also received the post of Yongxu meeting?" The original jade Yi accosted to say, a "also" the meaning of the word over the words.
This chanting meeting was created by some talents of Wangdu a few years ago. It means to compete with Jinxin club. According to the first talent, Jinxin association has set too many restrictions, which has buried a lot of talented women. However, they are only talented. Even if you are just a bean curd beauty, you can participate as long as you have poetry books in your stomach.
The chant is more beautiful than singing. The girls who won the first prize in the past years have been very popular. But how can the girls of the aristocratic family degrade themselves? Those talented and noble childe judge and flatter them. Therefore, most of the girls from aristocratic families who have received the post will not go. Most of them go to aunts who have a lower background and want to improve their status Mother.
It is absolutely impossible for all the girls present to attend!
Fu Yunyan angrily kneaded his knuckles and made a sound of "clacking and clacking." if I find out who I want to think of in the next post to me, I must give him a good look She was scolded for nothing!
"Liu Niang, eliminate the fire. It's rare to come to yue'er as a guest. Don't spoil your interest." Yuan Yuyi comforted her, then turned to Nangong Yue with a smile and said, "Yue Er, since all the people are here, please take us to visit the southern palace of the town. This is the residence of Murong Rui, the Regent of the former dynasty. Although Murong Rui was buried by the former Emperor after his death, it is still a beautiful place. I've long wanted to see this mansion... " Seeing Nangong Yue's face at a loss, Yuan Yuyi suddenly thought of something, "ah Yue, you don't know?"
Nangong Yue shakes his head. Where does she care who left this palace and what history does she have. But what did yuan Yuyi say about Regent Murong Rui, she still knew. The existence of Murong Rui made this residence a bit legendary. It seems that the former Emperor gave this residence to the Old Town South King to show his honor and favor.
Looking at Nangong Yue's natural appearance, Yuan Yuyi's aura flashed, and his happiness reached his soul. He blurted out: "ah Yue, you haven't visited this palace yet?"
Yuan Yuyi's tone made Nangong Yue feel embarrassed to admit it. After Xiao Yi left, she was busy with all kinds of things every day. As soon as she was free, she invited them to visit the palace. However, she did not want to visit the palace.
Jiang Yixi thought of what, suddenly said: "sister Yi, I also think you have been concerned about whether liuniang has come or not, it is just to visit the palace!"
For a moment, people's eyes are focused on the original Yuyi body, as if to say, so it is.
Yuan Yuyi couldn't help explaining: "you don't know, before my mother wanted to ask my grandfather for this residence, but my grandfather didn't agree, instead, she gave it to the Old Town South King. My mother still murmured that this mansion was given to Zhennan king, which was a tyrannical thing. The house was not abandoned and no one lived in it." Yuan Yuyi could not help but look at Nangong Yue. In fact, her mother also said that Zhennan Wangfu was a natural enemy to her. First she robbed her Princess's house, and now she robbed her daughter-in-law Listening to Yuan Yuyi, she felt that her mother was more and more like a child.
"It's rare that sister Yi is interested. How about we just accompany her once?" Nangong Yue asked with a smile.
The other people were also excited by Yuan Yuyi's remark. Anyway, there was nothing special about coming to Zhennan palace. They just strolled around the palace, which was quite leisurely.
Seeing that there was no objection to them, Nangong Yue thought about it and told Lily, "lily, go and call mammy Zhang."After Lily answered, she brought an old woman. She was wearing a pale cocoon plain silk coat with a few silver threads on her temples. She was dressed in a bun with a sandalwood hairpin. It was mother Zhang.
At the beginning, Mammy Zhang was still a little panicked. She didn't know why nangongyue called her suddenly. Until Nangong Yue said that, she was secretly relieved, and people became calm.
"Princess, do you want people to have sedan chairs?" Mother Zhang said respectfully, "the palace is not the forest behind it. It covers an area of more than 100 mu. It's still a little laborious to walk."
Nangong Yue looked at the others. Nangong Cheng and Jiang Yixi said in one voice: "it's better to walk." They looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Fu Yunyan doesn't have to ask, where does she need a chair with her physical strength, while yuan Yuyi simply obeys the majority.
Then, a group of people strolled around under the guidance of mother Zhang. Because the outer courtyard guards the servants more, in order to avoid the collision, they did not go to the outer courtyard, directly walked in the inner courtyard.
Although it is autumn, but the autumn tigers are fierce, and the sun is still a little hot. Fortunately, the south palace of the town is the residence left by the previous dynasty. Naturally, there are many old trees in the mansion. At a glance, they are all peach, plum, locust, pine, cypress and bamboo, and the green trees are sprouting, which makes them walk more comfortable.
As she walked, she also introduced the composition of the palace Nangong Yue knew that Xiaofang lived in the main courtyard called Bixiao residence when he was in Wangdu. The hall, wing room, ear room, storehouse, etc. in the main courtyard, there were more than 30 rooms, which seemed grand.
It has to be said that Xiao Yi picked the Fufeng courtyard carefully. Although the Fufeng courtyard has only 20 rooms, it is better to be in Bixiao residence on the west side of Wushou hall, while Fufeng house is on the east side of Wushou hall. The two courtyards are far away.
In addition to these two courtyards, there are seven or eight courtyards in the inner courtyard, which are all empty naturally. In addition, there is a council hall, two flower halls, one large and one small. Connecting these wing rooms, yards, flower halls and so on, there are maze like corridors, eaves corridors, verandas, and corner gates and moon gates
Nangong Yue had already fainted since he came to the end. He didn't know where he was.
Yuan Yuyi suddenly proposed: "sister Yue, I see the garden ahead. Why don't we go to the garden and find a pavilion to have a rest for a while."
Seeing her sweating, Fu Yunyan laughed at her: "cousin Yi, your physical strength is still so poor."
However, Yuan Yuyi said so, but Nangong Yue noticed that Jiang Yixi's face showed a faint fatigue, thinking that Jiang Yixi's body bones had been much weaker than before since the disease was cured, so he also nodded and said, "it's time to take a rest after walking for half an hour."
"Princess, please come with me." Mother Zhang naturally answered. While leading them forward, she introduced that there was a back garden in front of her, which was connected with the mountain forest at the back, while the one next to the small flower hall was a small garden.
Between the words, they went through a moon gate and entered the back garden.
As soon as they entered the garden, they saw a lotus pond at least half an acre in size. The water was clear and sparkling. It was a pity that the lotus blossom season had passed, leaving only the scattered lotus leaves on the pool surface.
The lotus pool is very large, and a pavilion is built in the center of the pool, and a corridor is connected to the pavilion.
The girls walked along the veranda to the pavilion for a rest.
After resting in the pavilion for nearly half an hour, the girls went back to the small flower hall for lunch. When they had finished their lunch, Yuan Yuyi was too lazy to go around again. She said with a straight feeling that the mansion was too big and not very practical.
So Nangong Yue suggested that he should go to the small garden beside the small flower hall. All the girls agreed, but just as he got up, magpie came in a hurry and whispered in Nangong Yue's ear.
Nangong Yue frowned and saw that her face showed a different color. Nangong Cheng exchanged a look with several other people, and then said, "third sister, if you have anything important to do, we will leave first."
"No more." Nangong Yue has changed color as usual, and said, "this matter you will soon know."
was shocked, but listened to Nangong Yue and then said, "I just got the news that two princesses have been brought back to the royal capital!"
Although they knew it would be sooner or later, the girls could not help but look at each other.
