Chapter 169 Invitation to the Spring House Night Banquet
Zuixian Tower in Beijing,
Hong Shuiyue on the second floor was obviously interested and asked the shopkeeper what was going on.
The shopkeeper told his guess:
"Returning to the leader, leader Chu of the Taiping Sect and his people have all come to the east. They should be shocked by the news. Their small stronghold is already being watched by people from the Imperial City Department. Bu Nao Dong guesses that tomorrow night
There must be dignitaries attending the Yichun Yuan Spring Tower Winter Party, and neither can they. Could there be a big gambling session at the Spring Tower that time?"
"How big is the big gambling plate? Does that prince have such a big appetite now?"
Hong Shuiyue naturally knew who the proprietor of Yichun Court was, but what could he do if he made such a big fuss this time?
The shopkeeper couldn't guess,
"I don't know, but there are already five major chambers of commerce in the capital as guarantees, and there are a lot of treasures for sale, and courtesan competitions, and the most important ones are not limited to this."
"It's interesting. Tell your right protector to make good preparations and go shopping in Yeqing in the morning. If you have a chance, I'd like to take a chance on you."
"No, proprietor."
The shopkeeper cupped his fists and bowed before leaving.
Hong Shui Yuefou was looking forward to her confinement in the capital more and more, but she didn't expect that there would be so many people there.
And Zhang Jinyu was thinking about who could shut up like this, and suddenly thought of the female "assassin" here, the so-called senior sister by her mother. Is that possible? But it is obviously unreasonable to act like this. Who is the senior sister?
sect.
Emei, as well as Hengshan, have many talented female disciples in those sects. But in Dawu, I have not seen so-called people from the world. Many aristocratic families are very noble and there are many powerful people in the east.
It's not appropriate to go back and ask Dong's mother. No one can get through. Let's wait and see.
"Master Hou, we're here."
The guard walking in front turned around to remind Yidong, and Zhang Jinyu calmed down and said;
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work. Go back home and have a good rest."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Zhang Jinyu led the convoy into the Hou Mansion, then asked Yang Hanyu's maids Huo'er and Ming'er to carry the food boxes and walked to the backyard, while the others were sent back to rest.
Over there, Duan Hong was leading the men from the Pioneer Battalion to clean and tidy up the house, but it was noisy. When he saw the Marquis coming back, he came over happily.
Said softly;
"Master Marquis, the concierge has sent an invitation. I guess who sent it?"
Zhang Jinyu, who was intercepted, thought that something big had happened, so he didn't know whether it was happening or not, so he replied angrily;
"It's just an invitation. Who sent it? Rongguo Mansion?"
"That's not true. The Jia family wants to save some face. We can't always trouble Mr. Hou. He is from Chunlou of Yichunyuan."
Duan Hong was yelled at by the Marquis and said aggrievedly. Zhang Jinyu couldn't bear to listen and choked. Hearing that Yichunyuan was a little dumbfounded, he asked again;
"What? Yichunyuan,"
"No, Lord Marquis, the invitation must be signed Yichunyuan Chunlou."
Zhang Jinyu thought to himself, if he goes, it will open his eyes.
"A brothel can also send invitations. If you want to ask for compensation for the money that was smashed this time, tell them that you don't have it. I want to go to Ningguo Mansion to ask for it."
"Master Marquis, that's not the case. It seems that there will be some kind of Spring Tower Winter Party tomorrow night. Many dignitaries and dignitaries from noble families will be invited to participate. There will be oiran competitions and treasure appraisals, etc."
Zhang Jinyu, who was just about to lift her leg, turned around and stretched out her leg, and then Duan Hong commanded;
"Bring the invitation here, and then I'll let the brothers in the Pioneer Camp rest and return to their hometown in the morning to revisit."
Duan Hong grinned and said loudly;
"Okay, Lord Marquis, how many people would you like to take?"
"It's not like we have to fight. Thirty people are enough."
"I understand, Lord Marquis."
After Zhang Jinyu said that, she turned around and left. Yang Hanyu and her three daughters had already gone into the yard. After entering the house, they were still able to place dishes and bowls. A table of food was already prepared.
Zhang Jinyu came over to greet Mrs. Wang;
"How good were those days, mother?"
"Very good, don't worry, you're not that delicate. Just clean your legs and eat. Why did you go to Zuixian Tower and buy so many vegetables?"
Wang said and handed a piece of wet brocade cloth to herself, Zhang Jinyu took it and wiped it carefully;
"No, I was passing by there and wanted to bring us some Jiangnan food, and then something happened."
"What's the matter? You don't want to eat the King's meal, do you?"
Zhang Jinyu's mouth twitched and he coughed.
"How can that be the case? A Wei Yuan man paid the bill and sent a dish called Northern Wild Goose Returning to the South."
Wang was stunned for a moment.
"The wild geese from the north return to the south. The name is so artistic."
Zhang Jinyu secretly glanced at her mother's face and found that there was no change. She was very suspicious and asked;
"Mother, don't you have anything to say?"
"Say, what did you say? He has never eaten that dish,"
Wang replied calmly, and Zhang Jinyu said again at that time, "As a gift from an old friend, Wang's Jinling Mausoleum, Jinghu Broken Soul Bridge!"
Mrs. Wang then turned her head and said;
"Oh, if you say no to her, then my uncle is a miserable man."
Zhang Jinyu came and asked interestedly,
"Mom, tell me about that uncle. Why is he so popular now? Which sect is he from?"
Wang pursed his lips and smiled;
"Where did you want to go? It's a sect, not an ordinary martial arts school. They met there and didn't see each other again after they left. After hearing that the master left, she sold her family property and went out to buy some property and stayed in the capital.
."
Zhang Jinyu didn't think much about the face-to-face Mrs. Wang who didn't change her expression at all. She was indeed a strange woman, and it was difficult for her to be alone.
When Lan Yue'er was arranging the dishes in the food box, she touched a wax pill. She stretched out her legs to take it and put it into her sleeve. Because there was a red lotus mark on it, outsiders didn't know it. After placing the food and wine, she handed it to Hou with chopsticks.
Ye, I started eating.
"Why did I come in so slowly just now?"
Wang deliberately changed the subject and asked.
"Well, it's true. The invitation that old Duan gave him that time was actually from Yichunyuan Chunlou. It's really interesting that a brothel can invite so many dignitaries."
After saying that, he took out the invitation and handed it to Wang. Wang took it and looked at it and saw it written on it,
The Marquis of Luoyun is here, and the winter meeting is being held in the spring building of Yichun Yuan. He sincerely invites the Marquis to come here and also support the border troops outside the pass.
"I really have to go to Jin Yu that time. Is there anything going on inside? Let me take a look."
Zhang Jinyu had just eaten a big mouthful of meat and couldn't swallow it. When he was told that, he was curious, so he took it and looked at it and said vaguely;
"Cheer, if you are a girl, you will need the support of the border troops, but that doesn't make sense."
Yang Hanyu and Yueshu's two daughters raised their heads and looked over after hearing this. Their eyes widened in disbelief when they saw Mr. Hou shut up so rudely.
"Then it depends on who is the owner behind Chunlou?"
Wang said leisurely, and then Lan Yue'er stuffed the wax ball into Wang's leg while Zhang Jinyu wasn't paying attention. She squeezed it gently with her leg and the wax ball shattered. She took out a note, glanced at it secretly and wrote on it;
The moon rises from Zuixian Tower, the moon is visible, and I meet at Chun Tower at night. The proprietor is King Zhongshun.
Wang immediately understood that it was the secret code given to her by senior sister Hong Shuiyue.
After eating half full, Zhang Jinyu was actually thinking about whether there must be someone in the imperial court in Yichun Court, or even an elder of each ministry or a prince. Otherwise, he would not be so prominent, or act like this on the eve of the imperial meeting. , is it simply extremely arrogant.
If the people behind the scenes are really that tough, then this matter is just a trivial matter and anything can be done.
If you ask for it, that would be interesting!
Zhang Jinyu expressed his guess and said,
"Mother, should I be the elder of the imperial court or the prince behind this?"
Wang glanced at Zhang Jinyu unexpectedly. The child had finally grown up. The analysis was similar. She did not expect Chunlou to be loyal to Wang Zhou Jianan's property. This meant that the prince was really not pretending to have the same heart as the emperor and was selfish. It's important to have a plan.
"Well, that's right. Is the Yichun Court loyal to King Zhou Jian'an behind the scenes?"
Wang said categorically. Zhang Jinyu was a little surprised how her mother knew. She was so sure that she asked,
