In the imperial study, the emperor looked at Lu Huaining, the commander of the royal guards standing below. Once again, he was surprised and said, "is Zhennan Wang Shizi Fei really selling dowry?"
The day before yesterday, after hearing from the empress that nangongyue wanted to sell dowry, the emperor ordered Lu Huaining to go to check it out. The royal guards were really quick, but only in two days had the result.
"To the emperor." Lu Huaining said respectfully, "the concubine is selling a dowry shop, which has a small reputation in the capital city, and its name is" Huayan ". The secret recipe is all developed by Princess Shizi, so she married her dowry and took it to Zhennan palace. According to Wei Chen's investigation, although the shop is small, the annual income is nearly 5000 Liang silver. It has a good reputation among the ladies and girls of Wangdu. One of them was originally appointed as a tribute by the house of internal affairs, but it was rejected by the imperial concubine. But every year, the princess will send some ointment to the Empress Dowager and empress
Hearing Lu Huaining's remark, the emperor had some impression. The Empress Dowager praised the ointment sent by nangongyue to him, which made her hands unbroken all winter last year.
Lu Huaining continued: "Wei Chen went out to talk to the middleman. In addition to the price being slightly higher and not selling prescriptions and signboards, the shop of Princess Shizi sold very well. Before yesterday evening, the shop had already passed the door. "
"How much did it cost?"
"Three thousand three hundred taels of silver."
"So little?" The emperor knew nothing about the price of a shop located in the capital of Wangdu, but since the shop could earn 5000 Liang a year, the price was lower.
Lu Huaining replied: "imperial concubine shizifei is not willing to sell signboards and prescriptions. Otherwise, there will be a lot of people asking for 10000 Liang." In fact, he knew that the price was a little high, and the shops in Wangdu similar area could be sold for one or two thousand taels.
After thinking for a moment, the emperor asked, "can you find out why the princess wants to sell shops?"
"Princess Shizi ordered someone to send 3000 Liang silver tickets to the south of the Yangtze River early this morning. According to the spy's secret visit, it seems that the prince had an accident in the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River some years ago. The steward there repeatedly raised the rent, forcing a family of seven to jump to death. After the imperial concubine learned about it, I ordered her to withdraw the steward, but it didn't seem to succeed. Therefore, the prince and his concubine could only secretly buy these properties back. Already pasted a lot of silver to go in, the son concubine is forced to have no choice but to sell the dowry shop. In addition to this "Huayan", shizifei still sells two Chuang Tzu in the outskirts of the imperial capital. When the people of Wei Chen went to buy "Huayan", they asked whether they wanted Zhuangzi or not. "
"That's not true, it's absolutely unreasonable!" The emperor was enraged by the book case.
At first, when he learned about it, he wondered whether it was true or not. After all, although Xiao Yi had not separated his family, he had received many rewards over the years. How could he have reached the point of selling nangongyue's dowry. However, it seems that we should redeem all the property given by the South King of the old town one by one, even if the silver is too much to spend
"It seems that all my intentions are useless." The emperor sneered, "I wanted to give Xiao Fang a face, but I didn't expect that she didn't know how to be restrained and even changed into Ben Gali. It's the property that belongs to Yi, but he has to pay for it. There is such a thing in the world! She has swallowed enough silver in recent years. She is really greedy
The emperor was just for Xiao Yi's injustice, but the more he said, the more frightened he was.
He had already issued an order to warn him. If Xiao Fang had a good sense of appearance, he should put his hand in the water. Unexpectedly, he didn't pay attention to him at all. Is it true that the sentence "heaven is high and the emperor is far away" Even a woman in Xiaofang's district is like this. What about the king of South Town I'm afraid the king of Zhennan has forgotten his own emperor?
To make southern Xinjiang stable, we still have to support Xiao Yi. However, the word "filial piety" is enough to make Xiao Yi tied up. It seems that only myself can help him in this matter!
"Huairen." The emperor said in a deep voice, "it's up to the emperor to make a plan..."
……
In the morning of the next day, an imperial edict was sent to Nanjiang from three thousand li. After an hour, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue learned the news.
His daughter-in-law is so capable that Xiao Yi is extremely proud. He hugs Nangong Yue and kisses her on the cheek.
"Ah."
Just as she opened the curtain of the door to come in, Lily happened to see it. She stepped back two steps and reported to the outside with a low eyebrow: "the prince, the princess, the horse is ready, but start now?" Lily secretly decides to listen to her cousin's words next time. When shiziye is in the house, he must not go in See what you shouldn't see again! It's still day!
Nangong Yue's face was red, as if painted rouge, delicate and lustrous.
She pushed away Xiao Yi, who was getting more and more aggressive recently. She glared at him, and then raised her voice and said, "go now."
Xiao Yi arrived, satisfied, and happily pulled her out of the room.
Today, they invited Nangong Xin, the original Ling Bai brother and sister, and Fu Yunhe brother and sister to go out for an outing.
We made an appointment to meet at the gate of Xicheng at this time.
Nangong Yue thinks that he has been a quarter of an hour ahead of schedule, but he doesn't want Nangong Xin, Fu Yunhe and Fu Yunyan to be there when she and Xiao Yi arrive at the Xicheng gate.Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue both rode horses. When they met each other, Nangong Yue said with a smile: "brother, liuniang, you are so early!"
Her words with a trace of ridicule, but Fu Yunyan did not feel embarrassed, naturally said: "of course, the early bird has insects to eat."
"Don't forget that the early worm is eaten by the bird." Fu Yunhe made a stare at Fu Yunyan, and he didn't make complaints about Nangong's Tucao. "You don't know," she said. "This is the six mother who has started the day without lighting up. It's forcing me to get up early together!"
We have made an appointment to meet at the time of the day. What's the difference?
He took a meaningful look between Fu Yunyan and Nangong Xin, shaking his head and sighing.
This saying is really good, girl extrovert ah!
If you have a fiance, you can't remember his brother.
Ah, when he was in southern Xinjiang some time ago, when he didn't go to the battlefield, he had to do morning exercises with his elder brother Xiao Yi and dance every day when he heard the chicken. He had to work harder than the emperor's cousin. Finally, I went back to Wangdu, where I could sleep a few good nights, but on the other hand, she was such a worried sister.
Nangong Yue could not help laughing, but Xiao Yi suddenly coughed. Fu Yunhe realized that he had said something wrong. But it was too late. Xiao Yi looked at him with a smile and said, "little crane son, it seems that after you go back to the capital, you will be abandoned!"
Fu Yunhe was flustered and said with a quick smile: "elder brother, I just need to rest for a few days. I'm tired all the way, isn't it?"
Now it's Fu Yunyan's turn to dismantle his platform: "third brother, you've been resting for most of a month. I don't think you've had enough rest!" She patted her chest and said, "brother Yi, don't worry. I will supervise the morning exercise of the third brother with my grandmother."
Fu Yunhe has no time to hate his sister, and quickly nodded his head and said, "yes, elder brother, there is grandmother and six Niang to supervise me." If you let the elder brother go out to supervise in person, it would not be an ordinary morning exercise. For ten days, even his mother didn't know him!
Fu Yunhe's appearance of eating shriveled food makes people look interesting. He laughs and laughs, and the atmosphere is not relaxed.
Fu Yunhe secretly comforts himself in his heart: in ancient times, there was Laolaizi's colorful clothes to entertain his relatives, which was for the sake of the twenty-four filial piety. Today, Fu Yunhe's colorful clothes and entertaining friends are also good stories!
Joking and joking, time soon arrived. Fu Yunhe took a look in the direction of the gate and said, "why hasn't Xiaobai and cousin Yi come?"
He was about to suggest that he should send a boy to have a look. When the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again. He saw yuan lingbai riding a red horse and running towards this side with the horse's belly. Not far behind him was a green carriage, which was supposed to be yuan Yuyi's.
"Woo --"
yuan lingbai tightened his horse's rein less than a Zhang away from them. The horse neighed and his two front hooves raised and stopped.
"You are all here..." The original made Bai jump down from the horse and greet the crowd with a smile.
"You're late again!" Fu Yunhe pointed out the facts impolitely.
Bai turned his eyes and lowered his voice to defend himself: "little crane son, you know, the daughter's house is a little more troublesome than others..." He said chin toward the rear of the Green Peng carriage pointed to, gave the black pot to his sister yuan Yuyi.
But Fu Yunhe didn't buy the account of yuan lingbai. He looked at him with both hands and said coolly, "Why were you late on that day when you went out with your Highness the fifth prince to meet me and my elder brother?"
Originally, Bai's face was embarrassed. His first reaction was how did Fu Yunhe know?
He reflexively looked at nangongxin, who was also present on that day. Nangongxin spread out his hands innocently, meaning that it had nothing to do with him.
When he looked at Fu Yunhe again, he saw that the other side showed a calm expression of "it's true." he said angrily, "I know you're late!"
Bai was so sorry that he almost beat his chest: he was so stupid that he was so easily cheated by xiaohezi that he confessed himself. It was really ruining his great reputation.
He said with a smile on his face: "little crane son, in fact, I'm just a little late..." He looked at Xiao Yi with a frightened look. Seeing that Xiao Yi was clinging to Nangong Yue, he didn't care about the situation here. At last, he felt a little relieved, and he pretended to sigh in his heart: heroism is short!
At this time, the Green Peng carriage also arrived slowly. The original Yuyi got off the carriage with the help of the maid, followed by Han Qixia.
When they saw Han Qixia, they were all surprised. Although they sent the post to Prince Qi's residence with Yuyi, they thought Han Qixia couldn't come because of Princess Qi's temperament.
Seeing their surprise, Yuan Yuyi said triumphantly, "how about it? Was it an unexpected surprise? "
Han Qixia said with embarrassment: "I told my mother and concubine that I was going out for an outing with cousin Bai and cousin Yi." At the same time, Princess Qi was in a good mood all the time and didn't hold her back. The reason why the mother and concubine are in a good mood is that the elder brother's whereabouts are unknown
Han Qixia's eyes flashed a touch of sadness, but did not want to defeat everyone's interest, she laughed as if nothing had happened, and said, "it's not early. Let's go quickly."The original makes Bai think of something, looks at Fu Yunyan and can't wait to ask: "liuniang, where are we going today? You've been selling it too long. "
"You can come with me anyway." Fu Yunyan said with a smile.
Xiao Yi first proposed the outing, but Fu Yunyan volunteered to arrange today's itinerary for everyone. Since she was in high spirits, everyone was left to her to arrange it at will. However, she only talked about the time and place of the meeting, but she still avoided talking about the destination until now.
However, Bai refused to comply with the original order and said, "Liu Niang, you can tell me clearly and mysteriously that I am not allowed to take my sunspots. Is there any place where my sunspots can't go?"
Nangong Yue also looked at Fu Yunyan curiously, because Fu Yunyan also sent her a message in advance, saying that they should not bring Eagle ashes and stones.
"You'll know when you get there." Fu Yunyan boldly waved his hand and ignored the original Ling Bai.
She turned on her horse in a handsome manner. Dressed in red, she was like a chivalrous woman in red. She was full of vitality, almost more dazzling than the rising Asahi.
Looking at her energetic side face, Nangong Yue can't help but pick up the corners of his mouth. His brother's temperament is simple, while Fu Yunyan is sunny and lively. What a pair of people envy!
"Liu Niang's spirit is always so good." The original jade Yi is also deeply have the same feeling to sigh a way, then the words front turn, "Yue son, Xia cousin, I three people a carriage."
Although Nangong Yue came on horseback, Yuan Yuyi invited him, but he was not respectful, so he agreed with a smile.
A group of people set out, headed by Fu Yunyan, along the official road in the west of the city to the West
In the carriage, the three men were laughing and talking, only to feel that time passed quickly I don't know how long after that, the voice of yuan lingbai suddenly came out of the car: "liuniang, you You're not going to take us to the Galan monastery, are you? " There was a trace of horror in his voice.
With his words, the speed of the carriage slowed down a little. Yuan Yuyi quickly opened the curtain and looked at the scenery on both sides. Her pretty face was also a little nervous, and said, "Liu Niang, won't you really want to go to the Galan temple?" When she was a child, she went to the Galan Temple once, and the experience was so impressive that she didn't want to go again.
Jialan temple is also a famous temple near Wangdu. Nangong Yue naturally knows about it. She can't help but help her forehead. No wonder Fu Yunyan has been secretive.
Jialan temple itself is nothing. It was built in the previous dynasty and is located in a high mountain. Although it is not as elegant as the famous temples like Bailong temple, it is also quiet and elegant.
In order to facilitate the pilgrims, the temple naturally built stone steps for pilgrims to ascend. However, the stone steps have a full thousand steps. What's worse, in order to show the Pilgrims' piety, Jialan temple does not allow pilgrims to go up the mountain on a sliding pole. They can only walk up the mountain by themselves.
Once again, Nangong Yue also felt that his doubts had been answered.
It was originally intended to go to the temple. No wonder Fu Yunyan told them not to take the ashes and the dogs. Those dogs are very obedient when they follow their owners alone, but when brothers and sisters get together, they are often suspected of being excessively lively, which may disturb the purity of Buddhism.
Let alone his own little ash, hunting is his instinct, killing and meat is his daily life In case of desecrating the holy land of Buddhism, it always makes people uneasy.
At this time, originally riding in front of Fu Yunyan also slowed down the speed of the horse, spit out his tongue playfully, and said: "hee hee, you found it." She looked at Yuan Yuyi with a smile and said, "cousin Yi, you are too little to move in the princess's house every day, and your body will be so bad. So is cousin Xia What's more, the scenery of Jialan temple is really good. There is a small waterfall in the back mountain. The clear spring flows down the mountain, which is very beautiful. Don't worry. You won't regret it. " She promised.
Fu Yunyan has arranged her itinerary. How could yuan Yuyi be disappointed? She just gives Fu Yunyan a fierce look and intensifies the volume one word at a time. "Liu Niang, next time I'm going east, we'll have a reading party. You can't be absent!"
Everyone knows that Liu Niang is most impatient!
Seeing Fu Yunyan fall down on his shoulder pitifully, everyone can't help laughing.
The chariots and horses continued to move forward. After about one stick of incense, they arrived at the foot of Zhengshi mountain where the Galan temple was located.
The scenery of Zhengshi mountain is really good. At a glance, there are luxuriant trees everywhere. Walking under the thick green shade, listening to the chirping birds can be heard everywhere, which makes people relax subconsciously.
Yuan Yuyi looked down at the stone steps beside her feet, raised her head a little, and finally looked up at the endless stone steps and sighed.
"Cousin Yi, let's go." Fu Yunyan smilingly took her arm and said, "at most, if you climb to the middle of the mountain, you can't walk. Can't I carry you?"
"Don't forget what you said
"When have I ever said anything but words?"
"Then I'll climb to the middle of the mountain and let you carry it..."
The cousins began to climb up the stone steps with laughter, which made others laugh.The thousand stone steps of the Kalan Temple obviously scared off many pilgrims. They removed several monks along the way, and saw no more than ten pilgrims.
There are several resting places along the way from the foot of the mountain to the Galan temple, which is convenient for the pilgrims to have a rest in the middle of the way. After climbing to one third of the place, Yuan Yuyi and Han Qixia are out of breath.
Nangongyue is better than her, but her breath also becomes disordered. Xiao Yi is eager to carry her back. But in the face of so many teasing eyes, Nangong Yue's face is not so thick after all.
So, after a long journey, they stopped to have a rest. The maid's movements were very sharp. They put cushions on the stone benches to avoid the girls' discomfort. Hot tea and snacks were immediately delivered to the masters.
At this time, Yuan Yuyi couldn't eat anything, so she waved to her maid to put away the snacks. Then she poured two cups of warm water, hardly paying attention to her manners. At last, she felt relieved.
Looking around from the mountainside, you can see that there are many peaks nearby, ravines crisscross, dense forests blocking the sun and luxuriant flowers and plants. It can be said that it is a good place for spring outing. Thinking of Fu Yunyan saying that there are waterfalls and clear springs in the back mountain, Yuan Yuyi also has some expectations.
"Well, it's a pity that sister Xi can't come." Yuan Yuyi sighed with regret. Since the news that Han Huaijun's whereabouts is unknown, Jiang Yi has been depressed and depressed. Therefore, people also want to ask her to come out for relaxation. Unfortunately, the queen ordered her to enter the palace yesterday.
Fu Yunyan also nodded: "it's rare that cousin Xia can come out to play with us today, but sister Xi can't come." She was a little disappointed: they didn't know when they could get together again
Although it was Jiang Yixi and Han Qixia, they all thought of Han Huaijun, and their faces were gloomy.
Han Huaijun's whereabouts are still unknown. The longer he disappears, the less hope he will survive.
If Han Huaijun really What about sister Xi? Nangong Yue didn't dare to go down. In fact, on the day Xiao Yi came back, he learned about Han Huaijun, and immediately ordered the spies in Northern Xinjiang to search, but there was no news.
Gong Yue's kneading of Gong Yue's hands just calmed him down.
"Your cousin will come back!" Fu Yunhe said firmly, "I have specially calculated his eight characters. The diviner said that your cousin is not short-lived. He can live to be at least 70 years old, and his life is 70 years old, which is almost the same." He deliberately enlivened the atmosphere with a relaxed tone.
Han Qixia forced her head and said, "brother crane is right. My elder brother will come back!"
She said to herself in her heart that even if the mother and the second brother are indifferent to the life and death of the eldest brother, there are always others in the palace waiting for him to come back, and sister Xi is waiting for him in the king's palace. He must be reluctant to leave like this
Time passed in silence. After a short break, Yuan Yuyi felt her strength recovered. She got up and said, "I've had a good rest. Let's go on..."
Before she finished her words, she saw Fu Yunyan suddenly put her small face close to her and said with a smile, "cousin Yi, I promised you that I would carry you when you were halfway up the mountain. How about that?"
Yuan Yuyi was speechless and her eyebrows twitched. Just now they were just joking. How could she really let Fu Yunyan carry her back.
"No more!" She held out a forefinger, placed it heavily on Fu Yunyan's eyebrows, pushed her away a little, and then took the lead to walk towards the stone steps Unfortunately, this handsome can not maintain a cup of tea, soon, she was tired and panting like an ox, heart way: had known to let six Niang carry her. What a shame to die for!
I don't know how long it took, and finally arrived at the gate of the Galan temple. Yuan Yuyi was out of breath, and nangongyue's forehead was covered with sweat.
On the other side, Fu Yunyan grasped the opportunity and said, "cousin Yi, ah Yue, I said, you'd better practice martial arts with me, in order to strengthen your health."
"Liu Niang is right." Then Nangong Xin, who also climbed up the mountain, quickly agreed, "sister, you see, I've been practicing martial arts for more than a year with my grandmother yongyang, and I'm much stronger."
Nangong Yue and Yuan Yuyi take a look at each other and are not interested in this topic at all.
"I have seen several benefactors without a certificate!"
A seven or eight year old white fat little novice came up and let Nangong Yue and Yuan Yuyi escape from this topic.
The little monk introduced nangongyue into the temple without any certificate and without flattery. He also introduced the history of Jialan temple.
The Kalan temple is just like what you can see outside the temple. There are not many people in the temple. The atmosphere is solemn and solemn. If people enter it, they are awed and dare not make noise at will.
Without a certificate, we can see that Xiao Yi and nangongyue are from different backgrounds. They are very respectful. We first led them to the temples and worshipped them all the way.
Naturally, they also generously donated some incense money and asked for some amulets.
Seeing that they were so generous, they laughed even more happily without a certificate. They joined hands and gave a Buddhist ceremony and said, "a few benefactors, the praying forest in our temple is very effective. How many would you like to have a try?"Blessing? Everyone looked at each other and thought of Han Huaijun.
Fu Yunyan was the first to say, "let's pray for your cousin."
Nangongyue and his party followed him to the praying forest without a certificate. At this time, Bai muxiao and Bai Muyan were praying in the forest.
Yu's family also came with their sisters today, but Yu's age is not young after all. After walking a thousand stone steps and worshiping a Bodhisattva, he felt that his back was aching. He simply went to the wing room of the temple for a rest, and Bai muxiao and Bai Muyan went to the temple for a stroll.
This, Bai muxiao is not surprised, or, as she expected.
The praying forest is located in an open space behind the main hall. There are many peace Charms hanging on the big trees that are soaring into the sky. When the warm spring breeze blows, the leaves make a "Susu" sound. Even the peace Charms hanging in the air swing in the wind and collide with each other, but there is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
After praying for blessing, Bai Muyan was a little depressed. She was about to ask if there was anything interesting in the little Shami temple, but she saw what Bai muxiao seemed to see, pointing to her skirt and saying, "what did you lose, second sister?"
Bai Muyan looked down and found that there seemed to be something under her skirt. She moved half a step to the right, only to see that it was a emerald jade ring pendant with a stone blue tassel hanging from the bottom.
Her servant girl immediately picked up the jade ring and was about to ask her if she wanted to help her to tie the jade ring back to her waist, but she whispered, "second girl, this is not yours..."
Bai Muyan also looked at her waist. Sure enough, the jade ring that she used to press her skirt was still around her waist. After a closer look, although the jade ring in the servant girl's hand was somewhat similar to her own, the color and knitting method of tassels were somewhat different.
"This girl, do you dare to ask if you found Xiaosheng's jade pendant?"
A strange male voice suddenly came from the rear, gentle, clear and pleasant, just like the Qingyue piano.
Bai Muyan slowly turned around and saw a 17-year-old scholar in a moon white robe and a square scarf of the same color standing not far away. His face was jade, handsome and elegant. He stood quietly under a big tree, and the sunlight gently projected on him through the gap between the branches and leaves, casting a mottled light and shadow.
This This is like Wang Lianyu jumping out of the script!
"The maid jade jade wears on the hand very much," but this is the girl who blushes to look at this
The scholar stepped forward a few steps, but politely kept a certain distance from Bai Muyan. He nodded with reserve: "it's Xiaosheng's jade pendant. I fell down when I was praying here just now. Fortunately, I was picked up by the girl. "
"Amber, don't return the jade pendant to this young master." Bai Muyan can't help but look at the scholar quickly, but just on the other party's clear eyes, and immediately like deer scared away.
The servant girl amber came forward and gave the jade pendant back to the scholar. The scholar bowed to Bai Muyan gratefully and cautiously and said, "thank you very much. I can only give it to you..."
Send?! What to send? Amber eyebrow a frown, rebuke a way: "ascend a disciple! What did you say? My girl won't take your things
The scholar's face was embarrassed and he explained, "this girl, you misunderstood me. Xiaosheng just gives a view. There is a spring at the back of the temple. When peach blossom is in full bloom every March, countless petals will flow down the spring. "When spring returns to rainy days in February, green peach blossoms feel the flowing year." it's so beautiful. "
Bai Moyan listened and listened unconsciously fascinated. It seemed that Wang Lianyu and his wife met by the peach blossom stream. It was like a dream like a painting. Could you say that he was
Her eyes twinkled with starlight, as if with three rivers of spring, spring heart rippling.
The scholar looked at her with a gentle smile. After thanking Bai Muyan again, he left, leaving only a clear and meaningful figure behind
At this time, she is not afraid of Bai Yan's dream!
"Second sister, it's still early. Why don't we go around the temple?"
Bai muxiao pretends to be affectionate and holds the absent-minded Bai Muyan.
