Chapter 72 Birthday Ceremony
Ye Ningyu paused for a moment. Ye Ningqiu had asked this question before, and she blurted out 'an old friend'. At this time, Ye Ningyu subconsciously wanted to say that, but felt it was inappropriate, so she changed her words.
"I don't know."
Don’t you know? Jiang Manqing looked at Ye Ningyu with a scrutinizing gaze, and the others also looked at her, always feeling that this sentence was not credible. The sisters returned to Ye Mansion, and under Ye Ningxi’s repeated pleas, Ye Ningyu did not
Inform the ladies about the matter. It has already been taken care of. Telling them again will only cause trouble. But after all, the other party is the daughter of the left prime minister and the princess of the Liang Kingdom. If it is a small matter, it is a matter of the girl's family, if it is a big matter, it is a national matter.
In the evening, Ye Ningyu still spoke to brothers Ye Yonghe and Ye Yongde, reminding them to be careful of Prime Minister Zuo avenging his personal revenge in recent days and giving them small shoes. Brother Ye Yonghe laughed, what a big deal, Prime Minister Zuo would not be so magnanimous. As for Liang Guojun
Lord, since they have been comforted, there should be no problem. Even so, Ye Ningyu still asked them to be more prepared. As night fell, in the four-bedroom courtyard of Ye Mansion. Everyone fell asleep, and Ye Ningxi quietly opened the door.
, looked around again, and found that there was indeed no one, so he walked out of the room holding the calligraphy he got from Qingfeng Tower today. "Girl."
Her personal maid stood at the door and took the things in her hand. "Do you remember everything I said?"
Ye Ningxi lowered her voice and asked, "Remember, this is an authentic work by the calligrapher of the Six Kingdoms. We won't sell it for less than five thousand taels."
The girl honestly repeated what the girl told her today. Ye Ningxi nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, go ahead."
In the slight night breeze, the little girl quickly left the Ye Mansion with her things in her arms. The next night, in the small courtyard of Jianshe in the west of the city, King Cheng held a rolled long cloth bag in his arms, and still ate the rejected meal like last time.
After calling the door countless times, Liu Yiping couldn't bear it anymore. He took the thing from Cheng Wang's hand and handed it in. After half a stick of incense, the door finally opened, and Bai Chengzhi walked out with a dark face. "These words
,where do you come from?"
King Cheng didn't expect Brother Bai to open the door suddenly and was very happy. "My people bought it."
"Where did you buy it?"
"Duobao Street."
After saying that, King Cheng thought of something and added, "Duobao Street is the antique street in Dadu. Many people go there to look for antiques and treasures!"
Bai Chengzhi squeezed the scroll in his hand, almost crushing it. So, the girl from the Ye family sold the calligraphy he gave to...?! In the past, the eldest girl from the Ye family gave the clothes he gave to others, and later...
The ten girls of the Ye family resold the calligraphy he gave him. This one is a big one and a small one. It turns out that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. King Cheng was completely unaware of the change in Bai Chengzhi's demeanor, "Brother Bai, help me identify it."
Appraisal, is this calligraphy an authentic work by the calligraphers of the Six Kingdoms?"
Bai Chengzhi didn't even look at it. He rolled up the calligraphy and took it by himself. "Of course it is."
"real?"
King Cheng showed joy, and he pretended to take it over to watch again, but Bai Chengzhi hugged him tightly and refused to let go. "How much did you spend on it?"
King Cheng stretched out his hand and counted. "Eight thousand taels."
Bai Chengzhi suddenly turned his head and looked at King Cheng, glaring, as if you were a fool and had too much money. "Aren't you a prince in trouble? Why are you spending money so lavishly..." King Cheng did not take anything from Bai Chengzhi's hand.
Thinking that he hadn't seen enough, he simply gave up and let him see. He turned around and sat on the steps, "I am traveling, and I am not severing ties with the royal family."
Bai Chengzhi had nothing to say at this moment. He didn't even know if it was authentic, so he spent eight thousand taels to buy a piece of calligraphy. If he bought a fake one, wouldn't he be severely deceived? King Cheng saw Bai Chengzhi standing there
There was no words spoken, and my heart skipped a beat. Damn it! Brother Bai has always been simple, shouldn't he think that his travels these years are a lie, and that he wants to be a lazy and idle prince? No, we can't let him misunderstand! Cheng Wang
I was thinking about a lot of things to explain to my good brother. "Brother Bai, isn't it that my father's birthday is coming soon? I haven't fulfilled my filial piety for so many years, so I just want to find a good birthday gift for him. I don't spend money like this on weekdays."
Big hands..." "Come in with me."
Before King Cheng could finish speaking, Bai Chengzhi entered the house holding the scroll. Huh? Brother Bai forgives him? King Cheng immediately entered the house after a brief daze. Brother Bai must have prepared hot tea from the incense burner, and the two brothers
We wanted to have a long conversation tonight, drinking tea and talking about poetry! However, when he went in, he found that there was no incense burner or hot tea in the room. The room was filled with pieces of calligraphy that had just been written, and some were just written.
Half. "This..." King Cheng was a little confused. "I have all calligraphy here, and it is no different from this eight thousand tael painting. Take a look and tell me which one you like, and I will sell it to you cheaply."
Bai Chengzhi sat among a pile of white papers filled with words, looking at King Cheng expectantly. "This is three thousand taels...this is one thousand taels..." Bai Chengzhi picked up the papers on the ground one by one. Then, he
He picked up a piece of folded paper. "This took a little time to write, so it's only five thousand taels."
King Cheng looked at Bai Chengzhi with a smile, and subconsciously covered the purse around his waist. He pulled out the eight thousand tael scroll from Bai Chengzhi's hand, and ran to the door in three steps at a time. "That...
I suddenly remembered that there was something else going on at the palace, so I went back first."
After Cheng Wang's figure disappeared, Bai Chengzhi lost his joking expression. "Wu Sheng!"
He folded a letter and called softly. A black shadow fell from the beam. He was wearing a black mask and a long sword hanging from his waist. He exuded a frightening aura. "Send the letter back quickly and personally
Leave it in the hands of His Majesty."
The black shadow took the letter without saying a word. After bowing and saluting, he left the house in the blink of an eye, as if he had never appeared. In the night, King Cheng returned to his house with satisfaction holding the original manuscript of the Six Kingdoms Calligrapher.
At the same time, in the Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion, Sun Mengyao was spreading the calligraphy he had obtained yesterday in front of the table and looked at it several times. The maid pushed open the door and entered, and Sun Mengyao hurriedly walked up and asked, "What's the matter, father?"
How do you say that?”
The maid obeyed, "The master said, this is just a joke at my daughter's house. He is a dignified prime minister. How can he read someone else's book based on this? And... you still say..." "What else are you talking about?"
Sun Mengyao's face darkened. "I told you that the girl is not allowed to go to the Siyi Pavilion to see the princess again."
Sun Mengyao's face became even darker. She turned around and looked at the words on the case, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. If her father didn't let her fight for it, she would fight for it on her own. She must be the most eye-catching person at His Majesty's birthday banquet.
Exist! The night is quiet. The capital city is getting colder day by day. Ye Ningyu has not gone out for many days, and her injuries have been basically healed. King Yong brought people to Ye Mansion to renegotiate with the Jiang family and other elders
The wedding date was set after spring next year. Ye Ningyu had no objection to this. In November, several girls from the Jiang family had already lived in the Ye Mansion for more than a month. The Jiang family asked them to stay for a few more days.
We might as well wait until after the New Year before leaving. Jiang Ruozhong wrote in a letter saying that, according to Jiang's arrangement, on the fifth day of November in the twenty-sixth year of Yuan Qing, the capital city was full of joy, and the Yuguo Palace was even more peaceful and lively. They welcomed
