Chapter 961

The carriage went all the way, and finally got back to Zhennan palace before the setting sun.

After seeing off Fu Yunyan, Nangong Yue ordered: "Zhu Xing, you settle down uncle Chu and ah LAN."

"Yes, princess." Zhu Xing took command.

Then, Nangong Yue said to Ren Zinan, "ah LAN, don't be in a hurry to take the post. First, take a good rest for a few days."

Chu David said with disapproval: "Prince concubine, ah Lan's little injury is not in the way. His body is strong." Said he also forcefully patted on Ren Zi Nan's chest.

Lily's dull laughter clearly came from behind, and Nangong Yue's eyes were also filled with a smile. Originally, his mind, which had been unable to calm down, was slightly distracted. He said with a smile: "Uncle Chu, as soon as you have arrived at Wangdu, let a LAN accompany you around to have a good look and stroll, and get familiar with the environment. It's not too late. "

"Thank you, princess."

After father and son thank Nangong Yue, Zhu Xing takes them down to settle down.

Nangong Yue and Baihui Lily went back to Fufeng courtyard. Today, she did not rush to wash, but locked herself in the study, and then took out the yellow envelope from her arms.

It's as light as a feather and as heavy as Mount Tai.

Nangong Yue deeply gazed at the envelope for a long time before he put it aside.

She took a piece of writing paper, spread it on the desk, and then poured some water into the inkstone. She picked up the ink stick in one hand and lifted up the sleeve in the other hand, straightening her waist.

Her father taught her to sharpen the ink of the person's posture should be correct, the ink should be light, moderate speed.

Seeing the clear water gradually turn into thick ink in the regular grinding of ink strips, nangongyue's heart gradually calmed down

By the time she put down the ink stick, she was already in the heart.

She picked up a small regular script pen and wrote a long letter to Xiao Yi. This letter starts from her first visit to liuhezhuang more than a month ago She narrated the cause and effect of Liu Hezhuang's affair in detail. Then she lifted the tip of her pen and stained it with ink, and the speed of writing began to slow down.

"A Yi, I hesitated for a long time before writing this letter. Now the war is at the key point. Nothing can override it. I shouldn't have distracted you, but it involves grandfather. I still wrote this letter to you after deliberation.

When you see this letter, you may be angry and anxious, but Wang Du still has me. I will handle everything properly so that you can concentrate on nothing.

I have kept my grandfather's letter well and look forward to coming back! "

Writing here, Nangong Yue did not accept the pen, but Zheng and heavy in the end added a sentence.

After writing the final signature "Yue", Nangong Yue took a long sigh of relief, and his slightly tense body finally stretched out. The tiredness of the day swept through his whole body in an instant.

Nangong Yue carefully hid the letter in a sandalwood box. After locking it, he called Baihe and Baihui in and told him to send the letter to Xiao Yi early tomorrow morning.

The letters between her and Xiao Yi have their own special channels, and the speed is only a little slower than that of the three thousand mile rush.

This letter should be in Xiao Yi's hands soon.

Nangong Yue went to the window, opened the window and looked at the gradually dim sky in silence. Since the second life, she never knew that she could miss a person so much. She only hoped that the war in the South would end as soon as possible.

The sun sets and the moon rises, and the long day is over.

After the Laba Festival, it will be the new year soon. One of the important things is to prepare the new year's gift for the government.

As for the new year's gift, she had already ordered it. So in the early morning of the next day, an Niang came over with a gift list and said cautiously, "Princess Shizi, this is the New Year gift sent to Zhennan palace in southern Xinjiang. Do you have anything else to add?"

Nangongyue is a new wife. This is the first time that she gave last year's gift to Nanjiang's mother-in-law. In any case, there can be no mistake. Therefore, an Niang is very cautious about this new year's gift.

Nangong Yue took a look at the gift list. Most of them are special products of Wangdu, and there are some nourishing herbs

"Add a few more fabrics and silk flowers that are popular with Wang Du." After a meal, she said, "I remember the palace gave a lot of silk flowers, so take a box to add it, so as to give the son's younger sisters some fun."

The king of Zhennan had only two sons, Xiao Yi and Xiao Luan, but there were many daughters. Xiao Fang had a legitimate daughter, and the rest were common women.

An Niang nodded and looked at Nangong Yue and asked, "the princess, the son of heaven's share..."

"I've already prepared the clothes and shoes of the son of heaven. Then I'll take all the herbs and pills I've prepared for him. Don't mix up with those over there." Said, Nangong Yue has already prepared the gift list to an Niang, "the son of the son of the things, in a moment to Zhu Xing alone arrangements."

Two people are talking, Baihui came in and reported: "princess, Yimei is coming."

At the end of the year is the time of reconciliation. Every year, Yimei brings the account books of rouge shop.

Nangong Yue nodded and said, "let Yimei come in."Ann Niang didn't even step down. She was watching Yimei grow up. When she saw Yimei enter the house, she couldn't help smiling, but she soon became stiff and worried.

Yi Mei's face looked a little haggard. Although she had applied some powder, she couldn't cover the shadow at present.

After Yimei's greeting, Nangong Yue asked her to sit down, looked at her face carefully and asked, "Yi Mei, are you ok? But I didn't sleep well? "

"Yes, Yimei." "An Niang is worried ground agrees a way," I see you look some bad. "

Yimei put the bundle on the table, opened it, pointed to one of the books, and said with a smile, "princess, look at this stack of books, and you will know why I didn't sleep well. These days, at the end of the year, the business in the shop is booming, and I really want to have the skills of separation. "

Although Nangong Yue did not count, but also from the thickness of this stack of accounts, we can see that it is indeed much more than in previous years. Although the rouge shop of my own is not big, it has become more and more prosperous in the past few years in Wangdu, and even many foreigners buy it in batches and resell them in other places. Therefore, it is not only famous in Wangdu, but also famous in other places. Those officials and rich women are proud of the rouge that can be used in "Huayan".

All of these achievements can't be without Yimei, who has been working hard in recent years. Nangong Yue planned to give Yimei a big red envelope at the end of the year.

She said to Yimei with a smile: "Yimei, the business of the shop is good, but you should pay attention to your health. A few days ago, I happened to get some old ginseng. Later, I asked Baihui to take one for you. I'll write you a list of medicated food. You can go back and make up for it. "

Yi Mei was flattered and owed: "I thank you for your son and concubine."

After handing in the account books, Yi Mei and Nangong Yue said something interesting about the shop, and then they left.

In the next few days, Nangong Yue stayed in the palace. New year's Eve is coming. Not only does she want to give new year gifts to Nanjiang, but also to Nangong mansion, her grandfather and Princess yongyang's mansion. In addition, she also has to arrange the palace and check accounts at the end of the year. All kinds of trivial things make her busy

The so-called "auspicious snow auspicious year", December 15, the king began to snow, goose feather like snowflakes fluttering down from the sky, but half a day to make the earth become snow, the whole king is a vast white.

The next day, Fu Yunyan sent someone to send a post, saying that he wanted to invite nangongyue to enjoy the snow on the 17th, but it gave Nangong Yue a chance to breathe.

I don't know if Fu Yunyan had calculated it. On the morning of the 17th, the snow gradually became smaller, but after two days of heavy snow, a thick layer of white snow had accumulated on the ground.

However, Wangdu, after all, is the capital of Wangdu. The snow on the street has been swept to the roadside for a long time. Therefore, there is no big problem for the carriage to walk. It only needs to slow down slightly.

Nangongyue's zhulun car entered yongyang Dachang princess's mansion on time at the time of the day. With the help of Baihui and Baihe, he got out of the car carefully.

At this time, only sporadic light snow in the sky is still falling from time to time.

It was a coincidence that Nangong Yue got off the bus and saw that the carriage of Princess Yuncheng's mansion also came in. It seemed that yuanyuyi had come.

Fu Yunyan meets the guest at the second gate in person. Jiang Yixi has arrived and is talking to Fu Yunyan.

As soon as he saw Nangong Yue, Jiang Yixi told him, "ah Yue, you should be careful. The ground may be slippery today."

Fu Yunyan said with a smile: "sister Xi, you can rest assured that there are Baihui and Lily in it, and he will not fall."

When she said this, Lily's tail was a little cocky. "Miss Fu said that, that's the biggest praise for the maid and cousin!"

At this time, Yuan Yuyi also got out of the carriage and said with a smile, "Liu Niang, you can really choose a day. It happens that the snow stops. We can go to the garden to enjoy the plum blossom later." She turned her head and said to Nangong Yue, "Yue Er, you haven't come to the princess's mansion to appreciate Mei yet? My grandmother liked plum blossom, so she planted a large area of plum trees in the north of the garden: white plum, golden plum, red plum The flowers are blooming all winter. It's snowing these two days. The plum blossoms must be very good and fragrant. "

"That's natural." Fu Yunyan straightened his chest and said triumphantly, "Mei in our mansion claims to be the second, and only the palace dares to be the first."

Yuan Yuyi pursed her lips and said with a smile, "elder sister Xi, yue'er, look at her, just praise a few words, and Liu Niang will fly to heaven again."

The four girls all laughed and said as they went through the second door and went to the inner court.

When they came to the princess's house, they naturally wanted to go to yongyang and Madame Fu first. When Madame Fu knew they were coming, she would just wait for them at the Wufu hall in yongyang, saving them two trips.

The two elders didn't leave them any more. They just casually said hello and let the four young girls play by themselves.

Several people in Fu Yunyan led down to the back garden of the mansion.

As Yuan Yuyi said, the plum blossom in the garden is very good. Before entering the garden, you can smell the fragrance of plum blossoms in the garden, which makes people feel enchanted.This is the best time for the golden wintersweet to bloom. The golden plum blossoms are hanging on the branches like golden bells. When the breeze blows, they come with a faint fragrance of plum, which makes people feel refreshed.

White plum and red plum are both budding and moving. Obviously, in a few days, when they bloom together, the garden will be another beautiful scene.

"A plum blossom blossoms in one branch, and the most annoying branch is on the highest branch." Jiang Yixi looked out at Meilin and sighed, "it's a pity that sister Xia can't come. She likes plum blossom best."

Speaking of Han Qixia, Fu Yunyan also had some feelings and said: "I sent a post to cousin Xia, but there was no movement in the prince Qi's mansion. I guess it must have been detained by my aunt." Princess Qi is so careful that she has to screw it up in order to get married. It seems that she doesn't even want to recognize her relatives. If it was not for Han Qixia, Fu Yunyan didn't care about this inexplicable Princess Qi.

"Ah," Yuan Yuyi sighed helplessly, "Prince Qi's residence has been a troubled time recently. Cousin Xia is not in the mood to go out."

Fu Yunyan thought of what, eyebrows moved, "cousin Yi, you won't tell me that it's true?"

Nangong Yue is also looking at the original Yuyi, the eyes seem to be asking the same question, only Jiang Yixi looked at them in mist, "what are you talking about?"

In a flash, the other three pairs of eyes are looking at Jiang Yixi, as if to say, sister Xi, you are too cannibalism between fireworks!

Yuan Yu managed her thoughts and said, "three days ago, a runaway slave from the prince Qi's residence escaped to the gate of Jingzhao's mansion. She complained that there was a lot of filth in the palace, because she accidentally saw the prince of Qi's son and a concubine's room, so the princess of Qi wanted to kill people That's really a lot of noise. However, she was soon taken away by the housekeeper of Prince Qi's residence. The family members of the runaway slave said that she recently bumped her head and had a brain problem, so she was just talking nonsense Since the Qi palace and the family members of the escaped slave have come forward, and the Jingzhao mansion is not good at taking care of the household affairs of others, they should let them take the crazy runaway slave away. "

How dare the son of the king of Qi even touch his father's concubine?! Jiang Yixi was stunned. This is ridiculous!

It's really ridiculous. Nangong Yue even knew that the concubine's room in the rumor was Fang wisteria, but she didn't know whether it was true or not.

Fu Yunyan shook his head and sighed, "do you think my cousin thought he was Emperor Gaozong of the previous dynasty?"

When Emperor Gaozong became the emperor's concubine, she lost the heart of Emperor Gaozong, and even the emperor's concubine lost his heart The prince became the last emperor of the former dynasty.

Yuan yuyimu Lu sympathized: "the back house of the Qi palace is in disorder. It's not cousin Xia who is unlucky in the end..." Where can a better family look up to the prince Qi's residence? What kind of family will those who want to attach importance to it! "In two days, I still have to go to see cousin Xia and chat with her." Of the four of them, she is the only one who can enter the gate of the Qi palace.

"Sister Yi," Nangong Yue said busily, "then you might as well help me send some new year gifts to sister Xia, and I can't take things for her."

When Nangong Yue said this, Fu Yunyan and Jiang Yixi vied with each other to say:

"Yue son, you have a good idea!"

"Sister Yi, please take something for me."

Yuan Yuyi triumphantly propped up her chest. "Since you ask me to do something, don't you bribe me well?"

"It's simple." Jiang Yixi said with a smile, "sister Yi, don't you like my snow water tea? It's rare to see snow this year. Today liuniang invited us to enjoy the snow. It happens that we sweep some snow water from plum blossom and save it. I'll make tea for you in the spring next year. How about it? "

The snow on the wintersweet is fragrant. Sweep off the petals and put it in the jar. It can be used to make tea in the coming year. The tea will have the aroma of plum blossom.

However, the snow on the petals is so small that it takes a lot of effort to accumulate into a pot.

But it is also because of the hard work, it will feel particularly sweet.

When Jiang Yixi said this, Yuan Yuyi immediately brightened her eyes and said to Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan, "yue'er, liuniang, at the beginning of spring this year, sister Xi invited me to drink snow water tea. It's delicious!"

"It's a good idea to sweep snow and make tea." Nangong Yue nodded with a smile.

Fu Yunyan curiously picked up some snowflakes from a flower, gathered to his nose to smell it, and said, "ah Yue, it seems that it is really a little fragrant."

However, sweep the snow on Plum Blossom

She looked around at the little plum blossoms around her. She was really big.

Yuan Yuyi naturally saw it out and threatened with a smile: "liuniang, if you dare to be lazy, then we will not call you after drinking snow water tea!"

Fu Yunyan surrendered helplessly with both hands.

The servant girls quickly took some ceramic pots and some small brushes. The four girls swept the snow separately and chatted while they were sweeping. Naturally, their intimate servant girls were embarrassed to look at them and helped them together.This sweep, then busy to noon.

An old mother came to remind them implicitly that lunch was ready, so fu Yunyan took them to Wangmei Pavilion, which is nearest to the garden.

A fire dragon has been burning in Wangmei Pavilion for a long time. As soon as I enter the gate, I feel that it is as warm as spring and summer inside, and it seems like two worlds with the ice and snow outside.

The servant girls quickly untied their thick cloaks for the girls. Nangong Yue felt that he was much lighter and relaxed.

Yuan Yuyi is also the same, Chui Chui acid soft arm said: "the original snow is so tired, sister Xi, you can really be patient."

Jiang Yixi covered his mouth and chuckled: "it's better to be tired. It's better to drink tea next year."

Seeing that the girls all sat down, the maids came in one by one carrying food boxes, and then took out the hot dishes from the food boxes and put them on the table

After lunch, the maids served hot tea for everyone to eat.

Hot tea, the whole person will be from the inside to the outside of the heat up, the girls' cheeks are a faint blush, it seems that are radiant.

Fu Yunyan suddenly made a gesture, and her personal servant girl came over with a mahogany tray with several squares of handkerchief on it.

Nangongyue and they did not know, that servant girl had given them a square of handkerchief. Nangongyue's was moon white, yuanyuyi's was light yellow, and Jiang Yixi's was plum red. Each of the handkerchiefs was embroidered with a plum blossom, but the embroidery work was really plain.

Nangong Yue moved his eyebrows and eyes and asked, "Liu Niang, are these not embroidered by you?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were burning at Fu Yunyan. Fu Yunyan was complacent and said, "ah Yue, you are really smart. You see, as long as I do it with my heart, there is nothing wrong with it. "

Nangong Yue, Yuan Yuyi and Jiang Yixi looked at each other. Although the embroidering skill of the handkerchief was not as good as that of a child of eight or nine years old, it was indeed valuable to Fu Yunyan. Yuan Yuyi covered her mouth and joked, "Liu Niang, she started to embroider dowry so quickly?"

"That's not my turn." Fu Yunyan is still a little self-conscious, "my mother said, and she expected me to embroider a veil, purse or something."

She said this, and the other girls felt a little sympathy for Madame Fu.

"Cousin Yi," Fu Yunyan suddenly looked at Yuan Yuyi, "I'll tell you everything. Are you hiding something from me?"

Yuan Yuyi blinked suspiciously, confused.

Fu Yunyan crooked his mouth cunningly and deliberately lowered his voice. He asked mysteriously, "cousin Yi, I heard that Aunt Biao is helping you look at each other. Is it true?"

Original jade Yi Zheng Zheng Zheng, the first reaction is a little embarrassed, but don't want to let Fu Yunyan too proud, said: "even if I tell you, how can you?"

"Of course, it's to help you inquire about your character." Fu Yunyan naturally said, "what if it's a kind of annoying family and I'm not allowed to come to my door in the future?"

Yuan Yuyi was stunned again. This time, her eyes were moist. Liu Niang thought of going with her for a while.

Seeing that her friends have a home, Yuan Yuyi's mood is somewhat complicated. On the one hand, she expects to meet her husband who respects each other. On the other hand, she feels frightened and uneasy about the unknown future

"Liu Niang!" The original jade Yi rushed up to embrace Fu Yunyan, "then I can count on you to help me palm eye." She deliberately buried her face in Fu Yunyan's arms, which made Fu Yunyan dislike and pushed her away.

One side of Jiang Yixi and Nangong Yue looked at each other with a smile. The two cousins laughed into a group and chatted with each other.

The little room was filled with the bright laughter of the girls, as if early spring had come in advance.

Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan laughed and quarreled for a while, but they remembered something. They looked at Jiang Yixi and asked, "sister Xi, I heard that the queen recently recruited many girls from other families to speak in the palace?" Her eyes were shining, and it was clear that her problems were not as simple as they seemed.

This sentence immediately attracted the attention of Fu Yunyan and Nangong Yue. They also thought of it. Fu Yunyan blinked and said, "can't you? The fifth Prince is only nine years old. " Does yuan Yuyi think too much?

Jiang Yixi is just drinking tea, silent, she does not speak, but let them suspect that Yuan Yuyi's guess is not wrong.

Is it true that the queen is helping the fifth prince to see others?

"It's time to be five years old, too." Nangong Yue said lightly, but in his heart there was some feeling: time flies, the little boy who had not lived more than six years old is now so old, even to the age of marriage.

Nangong Yue gazed. Recently, the emperor paid more and more attention to the five princes. Therefore, it became more and more obvious that the fifth prince should be the crown prince. Now the first prince, the second prince and the third prince are either married or engaged, and only the fifth Prince's marriage has not been decided Perhaps, this is also the queen wants to use this opportunity to test the emperor.

There are always different standards for choosing princesses and concubines

The girls were thoughtful, but in any case, it had little to do with them, and soon they began to talk about other topics.The day passed quickly in a pleasant atmosphere. After a while, several girls left Fu Yunyan one by one.

When Nangong Yue returned to Zhennan palace, he had just arrived at Shenshi. When he was still in the second gate, magpie reported that Zhu Xing had something to look for her. So Nangong Yue simply went to the study outside.

Zhu Xing quickly rushed to come, and after the ceremony, he directly reported: "Prince concubine, Zheng Zhi has been taken to the capital of the king."

Nangong Yue, who was sitting behind the book case, nodded slightly and asked What did he say? "

Nangong Yue didn't ask Zheng Zhi whether to recruit or not, because she still believed in Zhu Xing's means.

"Zheng Zhi confessed that he came to liuhezhuang to collect money after the imperial concubine. He is mainly responsible for the income of Zhuangzi and shops in the northern provinces. Every six months. "

"How many at a time?"

Zhu Xing angrily said: "at the beginning, he said only two or three thousand taels. Later, he confessed that he got more than 20000 Liang every six months."

"More than 20000 Liang." Nangongyue said calmly, "more than half of Shizi's industry is in the north. In addition to the income from the South and other places, roughly speaking, the imperial concubine can get at least 100000 taels from Shizi in a year."

Zhu xinghen gnawed his teeth and took out some silver bills from his arms. He said, "princess, this is Zheng Zhi's copy. There are thirteen thousand taels of silver notes received from various Chuang Tzu and shops. What do you want to do with them?"

Nangong Yue thought for a moment and said, "let's leave it for the moment, and then I'll deal with the rest of Chuang Tzu's shops after I've rectified them."

Only liuhezhuang, another Zhuangzi named Bailinzhuang and a shop located in Wangdu were the closest to Wangdu. Nangongyue planned to start here first.

Zhu Xing responded respectfully.

Nangong Yue then said, "I have looked at the account books carefully. If we calculate by the normal income of these Chuang Tzu and shops in the north, the total amount is less than 20000 Liang a year." Her face was flat, but her heart was filled with anger.

Liu Hezhuang is one of the largest Chuang Tzu in Xiao Yi's name. Even in a good year, the annual income of Liu Hezhuang is only two or three thousand taels. But the cattle steward can hand over 3000 Liang to Xiao Fang every six months. You can imagine where these silver came from! For the sake of the silver, Xiao Fang didn't know how much reputation Xiao Yi had been ruined over the years!

No wonder Xiao Yi was so notorious in his previous life.

Nangong Yue calmed his mind for a while and asked, "where is the cattle steward going now?"

"Zheng Zhi said that he went to the south." Zhu Xing replied, "but Zheng Zhi doesn't know what he is going to do I don't know. He can't endure the punishment. "

"South?" Nangong Yue murmured to himself.

She has looked at the account books all the time. Xiao Yi has the most property in the north and the south of the Yangtze River. In the north, Chuang Tzu is the main industry, while the Jiangnan area is mainly fields and shops. 80% of them have changed their duties in the past few years. Other industries, such as mines, shipyards and banks, are clean from the accounts.

Maybe Xiao Fang didn't know that Xiao Yi still had these industries, or maybe she didn't find a chance to intervene.

And the cattle Steward will go to the south at this time. Is it possible that

"Shizi has a shipyard in the south." Nangong Yue raised his eyes and said, "I doubt if Xiao Fang's idea of starting to play a shipyard."

"Damn it!" Zhu Xing didn't hold back for a moment, and blurted out a rude word. But he immediately realized that Nangong Yue was here. He quickly bowed his head and said, "princess, what should I do now?"

"What can I worry about?" Nangong Yue laughed, "since I know he went to the south, I'll send someone to cut it down."

Zhu Xing couldn't help laughing, patted his head and said, "yes, it's my subordinates who are confused." He was in a hurry.

"In addition, how is Niu Chang'an now?"

Zhu Xing showed a trace of bleak color, "sent to a mine in the northwest, his subordinates let people to manage, absolutely can't die."

Nangong Yue slightly jaw head, charged: "through some news out."

Zhu Xing's eyes brightened. "The meaning of the imperial concubine is..."

"If the time is not wrong, mother Yi and my letter should also be sent to southern Xinjiang. If you calculate the time when Niu Guanshi gets the news of liuhezhuang, his complaint will probably arrive. " Nangong Yue gently clasped his finger on the book case and said with a smile, "it's thousands of miles away between Nanjiang and Wangdu. I'll have to take the lead of Princess Wang before I find a chance to deal with her This time, I have to ask her to spit out the things she swallowed intact
