Meng Yiliang looks like a righteous Ling ran, hands clasping fist and bowing to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi sat on his horse and looked down at him. He said with a smile, "Oh, the general's meaning is..."
Meng Yiliang was busy and said: "I will know that shiziye is busy with his business, and there are still many things to manage in southern Xinjiang. I will have no time to pay attention to this small Nanliang country." Seeing that Xiao Yi didn't look displeased, Meng Yiliang put down his heart and talked incessantly, "in the opinion of the last general, shiziye can find a reliable and loyal person to help him take care of Nanliang. Shiziye, there are many old people in our army in southern Xinjiang who have been following them since they were old princes. They are loyal and loyal, and they can be shown by the day! "
Xiao Yi carelessly dusted his sleeve, and his smile did not diminish. He asked, "general Meng, if my son gave Nanliang to the general, what would the general do?"
Hearing the speech, Meng Yiliang's spirit was shaken, thinking: it seems that the son of heaven has listened to his words.
Meng Yiliang pretended to be calm and said: "Shizi, the end will think that there are rioters and rioters. Kill them and fight them with violence. As the saying goes, heavy allusions are used in troubled times
Meng Yiliang said more and more excited, and spoke with great interest, and said again what to establish registered residence, to re examine the population so as to increase the head tax to make up the army. Finally, he said with righteous words: "Nanliang people are just the generation of barbarians. There is no need to tell them any reason. Anyone who refuses to make trouble will be killed. In this way, the people will be stable. Shizi, your foundation is southern Xinjiang. As for this Nanliang territory, you don't need to worry too much. "
Mengshi said, "you don't even want to take the place of general Xiaoyi? Ah, you should know yourself well, general Meng. When you are old, you should enjoy your old age. "
With that, Xiao Yi ignores Meng Yiliang's reaction and walks away with Nangong Yue.
Meng Yiliang stood in the same place, looking at the back of Xiao Yi and nangongyue's departure. A thick haze rose from his turbid old eyes.
Three years ago, shiziye was ordered to return to southern Xinjiang by the emperor. At that time, among the old people who had followed the old prince, Tian He was the first to surrender himself to shiziye. Most of them, including him, wanted to see his ability first.
It turned out to be a mistake.
Because he was so late, he did not show his face in front of the prince. He couldn't turn to him or the Meng family.
He thought that he couldn't compare with Tian He. After all, he looked down on shiziye at the beginning, and his chess was poor.
But the situation may not have no chance to recover. This time, he volunteered to follow Tian He to Nanliang, thinking that this was a good opportunity. As shiziye, he can't stay in Nanliang for a long time, and Tian He will return to Nanjiang sooner or later. As long as he can be entrusted with the responsibility of managing Nanliang by shiziye, they will be the local emperor of Nanliang after Mencius, and they will be able to cherish their descendants
I don't want to. There is not enough Tian He under shiziye's command. He even appears a comfortable Marquis for no reason!
What kind of thing is this comfortable Marquis, but the emperor's running dog, you know to make a mystery and make people confused!
How could the son of heaven trust the comfortable Marquis so much? Is the son of the aristocrat is by that easy Hou under what Gu not become?!
Thinking about it, Meng Yiliang's eyes drooped slightly.
Shiziye is not a person who will care about the old prince's affection. He has to think of a way to let him know his ability.
Recently, a man claimed to be the biggest horse merchant in Nanliang and was willing to provide horses for the army in southern Xinjiang. If he could get a large number of cheap horses, he would certainly look up to him.
Moreover, the quiet Riding Camp of the comfortable Marquis seems to lack more horses. Maybe we can take advantage of this opportunity
Meng Yiliang was immersed in his own thoughts. He didn't notice Nangong Yue, who was dozens of Zhang away in front of him. He looked back at him, then lowered his voice and asked, "a Yi, this man is..."
Xiao Yi didn't know much about the old generals who followed his grandfather. He simply said: "Meng Yiliang, he followed his grandfather after his grandfather came to southern Xinjiang. He won several battles with his grandfather and made some military achievements..."
At that time, Meng Yiliang made military achievements, so he had the glory of these years. As for whether it can be maintained or not, it depends on the Meng family themselves. Just listening to Meng Yiliang's words, it seems that Meng Yiliang is a real man and his brain is confused.
Xiao Yi said carelessly: "after the defeat of the Nanliang war, Meng Yiliang took the initiative to go to Tianhe to ask for a tassel, and came to Nanliang together."
Recalling what Meng Yiliang said just now, Nangong Yue sighed thoughtfully: "Yi, it seems that what he is planning is not small." As the saying goes, the heart is not enough to swallow the elephant. It's a pity that the world can't see through such a simple truth.
Xiao Yi winked at her and said with a smile, "ah Yue, Xiaobai will deal with such a small matter."
Nangong Yue's mouth twitched for a moment, and said with a pretence of sighing: "the official young master is really pitiful..."
When meeting Xiao Yi, who doesn't know whether he is a close friend or a bad friend, is Guan yubai lucky or Guan yubai's bad luck?
"Let's bring some delicious food back to Xiaobai Xiao Yi said without any guilt.Between the words, they rode leisurely forward. After a while, they left Nanliang palace far behind
They came out to play today, so they deliberately slowed down the speed of the horse. Nangong Yue drove the horse and looked around curiously.
She was so tired that she didn't want to have a good look at the city of Chenopodium.
Compared with Fuhu City, which is full of people, wuchencheng is not so busy and noisy. However, at a glance, the streets are clean and tidy, and the people who come and go look peaceful and peaceful. The feeling of peaceful life is quite different from the fickleness of Fuhu city.
The town has gradually begun to come back to life after the devastation of the war.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi walked and stopped. It took more than half an hour to get out of the city.
Xiao Yi only roughly knew that the jade city was in the western suburb several miles away from wuchencheng, but he had never been there. So he asked for directions while walking.
Gradually, the flow of people was moving in the same direction.
When they got to the crowded place, they got off the horse and walked leisurely with the crowd.
In the so-called jade market, dozens of awnings were set up in a huge open space, with bamboo, wood or oilcloth. The jade merchants set up stalls in the awning. In addition to selling all kinds of jade ornaments and unsound jade, the stalls were piled with weathered stones.
Interestingly, most of the people walking in the jade market don't look at jade ornaments or jade stones, but ordinary stones. They look at them one by one, talk in detail, and come up to knock and beat from time to time. Their eyes and expressions show a strange look.
Seeing Nangong Yue's face showing curiosity, Xiao Yi explained, "that's the raw material of jade..."
Xiao Yi simply introduced gambling stones to nangongyue. The wool was sold by weight. The bigger the size, the more expensive it would be. The so-called gambling stone is to pick a stone and cut it open. It is either a precious jadeite gem or nothing. It can make people rich overnight or ruin their families.
The most lively place in the whole jade market is probably the market center. There are several pieces of top-quality jade that have been opened in recent days. Many people who watch the excitement come to watch and wonder which jade will be the Jade King in this competition.
All can only wait for today after the Shenshi, all these three days to open the jade will be put together to determine the "Jade King.".
Nanliang people around him were full of saliva, but Nangong Yue couldn't understand it. He could only listen to Xiao Yi's narration, which was full of interest.
While talking, the two strolled leisurely and contentedly.
From time to time, someone selected the woolen material and asked the boss to open the stone. After only half an hour, Nangong Yue saw that several people had opened jade. Although the appearance was average, it was still interesting to watch.
Nangong Yue couldn't help but be eager to try.
Xiao Yi is the most understanding of her mind, said: "we also pick a few pieces to play."
Nangong Yue answered with a smile.
They just came to play at random. They did not intend to speculate or become famous. Zhennan Wangfu was not short of several pieces of jade. Therefore, Nangong Yue came to a stall in a funny mood and picked five or six pieces of raw materials at random and asked the owner of the stall to help open the stone.
As soon as the boss saw Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi, he guessed that they were amateurs of gambling stones. He first put the scandal in front of him, collected the money first, and then said that there was no regret in breaking stones.
As soon as someone wanted to open the stone, many good people came around and asked who was the owner of the wool.
When he saw that the other side was a young woman, a middle-aged man said with admiration in Nanliang language: "I heard that a woman just came and picked out several stones in succession. This is not the one who can make jade out of everything?"
"Really? That vision and luck are not ordinary! " An old man nearby said in disbelief.
No matter the expert or the novice of gambling stone, they all know that if the raw material is not cut, no one can guarantee what is in the stone. Whether the jade can be produced depends on knowledge and experience, and the remaining 40% depends on luck. Even the experts of several decades may not be able to guarantee that the selected stone must contain jade.
All the onlookers said Xingnong, and Xiao Yi also told Nangong Yue one by one.
Between the words, the first stone was cut by the master who opened the stone, and all around him suddenly hissed. It was just a piece of waste rock. But most people still bear to continue to look down, who knows that the next three or four pieces are also waste rocks, only the last piece of jade is not much larger than the finger, the appearance is also general.
They spent several tens of Liang silver on wool, but they only got such a small jade which was not worth two or two silver. It can be regarded as the kind that lost nothing.
The onlookers, seeing that they didn't produce any good jade materials, immediately dispersed and walked away in twos and threes.
Who would have thought Nangong Yue was still smiling and holding the jade in his hand for a few times, pointed to the wavy lines on the jade and said, "Yi, you see, the patterns on the jade are quite interesting. If you polish it into a pen holder along the lines, it should be very beautiful."Xiao Yi grasped Nangong Yue's wrist and looked at the jade with her hand. Against the background of the jade skin, he immediately felt that the jade looked good to his eyes and nodded with a smile: "when I go back, I'll polish it for you."
Nangong Yue glanced at the apprentice who took advantage of every opportunity and gave him the jade directly.
Although only a small jade, but Nangong Yue's interest is more thick, throw down a sentence: "we pick stone again."
"Yes, ma'am." Xiao Yi rushed to follow him like a boy.
There are people coming and going in Yushi. Many stalls are crowded. They choose a booth with less people.
Nangong Yue first glanced at the table where the jade was placed. Seeing that there was no good jade, he looked at the stone pile on one side, picked a maroon stone at random, and then learned from Xiao Yi to tell the old stall owner to open the stone in Nanliang language.
As soon as her voice fell, she heard a clear and lively female voice from the right side: "wait a minute, madam."
It's Dayu?!
Nangong Yue raised his eyebrows in a little surprise, followed the sound, and saw a 15-year-old Nanliang girl standing outside looking at herself. She was wearing a green half sleeve dress, a black hair, but simply combed a black pigtail, with several emerald flowers on her temples. It looked as fresh as the flowers blooming at the beginning.
Behind the girl, dozens of people from Nanliang, men and women, old and young, of all walks of life, were bustling.
The girl Mu Lu looked at Xiao Yi with surprise, then immediately withdrew her sight and continued to say to Nangong Yue, "madam, why don't you let me pick a better stone for your wife? I promise I can make a good jade. "
The girl was speaking Dayu dialect, and the people in Nanliang who followed her could not understand her. However, the jade merchants in the jade market went from south to north, not to mention that most of their jade from Nanliang was sold to Dayu through various channels. Many people knew some rudimentary Dayu dialect, so they translated their conversation to the people around them.
The onlookers burst into a frying pan and said with all their mouths:
"How blessed is this lady!"
"Yes, this lisaro girl's eye for picking stones is accurate."
"The best pieces of jade in today's jade market are picked out by the girl lisalo. Maybe today's Jade King will be selected from them."
“……”
They were so excited that they were even more excited than the girl lisaro herself.
Nangong Yue indifferent smile, directly refused: "this girl, no need." Then, she once again told the old stall owner to find someone to open the stone.
Lisalo was stunned. He was surprised, but immediately he regained his courage and said, "madam, listen to me. To tell you the truth, the stone chosen by my wife is indeed jade, but the quality is not good. " For fear that Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi would not believe it, she followed and explained, "madam, your wool is made of red skin. Although the appearance looks delicate and round, it is very beautiful, but it is only flashy. After cutting, the jadeite inside is often of average quality."
At the same time, many knowledgeable people in the rear nodded frequently. Some people praised the young girl for her young age, but she was an expert in understanding stone.
Lisa Luo straightened up his chest, his eyes showed confidence, and said with a smile: "madam, I want to exchange a stone with my wife because I see that your stone is interesting in shape, like a red fruit, and I want to buy it back to please my sister."
She glanced at the stone heap in the stall and made a gesture. Immediately, a servant offered a white stone with a fist size. "Madam, I just picked it from a stall in front of her. Even if this stone can't produce dragon stone, it should also be able to produce an ice seed. As compensation for my wife's separation, I gave the stone to her
Lisharo had a good reason and good words. Most of the people around him tried to persuade nangongyue and Xiao Yilai with Nanliang or Dayu words. After all, it was a good thing to lose money in the sky!
Listen to those irrelevant people there chattering, Xiao Yi is upset, tone slightly cold: "don't give me a stone!"
He has a picturesque face. When he smiles, he looks like the son of a rich family. When he frowns and sneers, his temperament suddenly changes. He is so sharp that people dare not underestimate him. He is surprised and dare not talk more.
The old stall owner took a quick look at Lisa Luo, and immediately ordered the master to open the stone.
The onlookers around were filled with grief. They felt that the young master and the young lady of Dayu Lai were really disrespectful. Some people even asked the girl lisalo if she could give them the stone in her hand
The stone maker opened the stone with three or two knives. Sure enough, only a small broken jade the size of a longan was opened.
There were boos all around.
However, to the surprise of the onlookers, Nangong Yue's face did not show any disappointment and regret. On the contrary, he happily played with the jade and said to Xiao Yi, "a Yi, would you like to make a pendant or a pair of earrings?"Xiao Yi has no principle to answer: "you think slowly, when you think well, you draw a picture, I will do it for you."
Nangong Yue smiles and gives the jade to Xiao Yi.
Lisaro looked at them for a moment. His eyes flashed. Then he sighed as if nothing had happened: "madam, I don't want to part with you, but I still give this stone to my wife. It should be a fate and a memorial!"
She said boldly, that gesture has the bearing of "business can not be done in benevolence and righteousness", and attracted many appreciative eyes around her.
Finish saying, she left that piece of white wool, is about to fly away, but was called to stop by Nangong Yue: "girl and stay."
Lisa Luo's eyes were slightly bright, looking toward the south palace Yue.
Nangong Yue mouth a hook, smile Yingying to look at Lisa Luo, but the tone of a shrewd: "if the girl has an intention, also hope to speak frankly."
Although she tried to calm down, she could not hide her slight surprise.
Nangong Yue then said: "the girl came to know that we are big Yu people, but also specially used Da Yu words. If it is a chance encounter, I'm afraid it is too coincident."
Although the appearance of Dayu people is slightly different from that of Nanliang people, there are a lot of people from small countries and ethnic groups in Dayu. They look the same as those of Dayu people. But this girl has decided that they are Dayu people!
Lisaro's face changed again, his mind was flying, and he made a decision decisively.
She respectfully blessed her body with Da Yu's propriety, and readily admitted: "the daughter of nanlianggu's family, lisalo, has met the young master and his wife."
Gu Na family?!
Nangong Yue almost knew nothing about Nanliang. Of course, he didn't know where the ancient family came from, but the people around him knew it.
The gu'na family was the largest imperial merchant in Nanliang. Before Nanliang's death, the most affluent family in Nanliang was gu'najia.
Both men and women of the gu'na family have the opportunity to inherit the family property. Since Lisa Luo was a child, her father planned to recruit a son-in-law for her and stay at home.
But no one ever thought that Nanliang would perish.
Although they were not implicated in Nanliang's subjugation, they did not have the scenery of the past. If they go on like this, they will gradually decline within ten years.
She is now one of the three candidates in charge of the family. If she wants to stand out from the two brothers, she must do something at this time.
Not long ago, when Xiao Yi was on the way to inquire about the location of the jade market, Lisa Luo got the news and hurried to come here. First, he made his own momentum, and then specially arranged for the encounter. The purpose was to show his face in front of the prince.
For example, just now, if the imperial concubine was willing to accept his kindness and accept the wool, and when the jade treasures were opened out of the stone, the prince and his concubine would naturally be deeply impressed.
Once she can catch up with shiziye, she will have a chance to regain the glory of the ancient family.
Then the identity of the next generation of Gu Na family must be her.
But I didn't expect that the princess would react like this, making her original well planned hero useless!
