The right path is that life is short, and the early spring morning is so cold that it makes people reluctant to leave even if they are alone in bed. The Peach Blossom Fairy habitually wakes up early in the morning, but when she thinks that there is nothing to do after getting up, she is too lazy to get up. She is too lazy to get up.
She fell asleep again under the covers after a while. According to her lifestyle, she could sleep six or seven hours a day without any pressure at all.
She fell asleep again and was woken up again at some point. She pulled the quilt over her head and said angrily: "I won't have breakfast. Leave me alone."
At this time, the door creaked open, and a familiar voice said: "It's already noon and you still have breakfast...Why are you still sleeping?"
Peach Blossom Fairy soon heard the voice that sounded like Fang Ling's, and realized that she was in Changde Mansion, Huguang, separated from Fang Ling. She suddenly felt puzzled, so she opened the quilt and took a look, only to see a beautiful smiling face.
Who is it if it's not Fang Ling? She asked in surprise: "Why is sister Fang here?"
Fang Ling said: "Not long after you left, I explained the matter about Chunhan Liyuan and came to Changde Mansion. I managed to contact Uncle Zheng (Zheng Qia). Uncle Zheng had something to do with us, so we came together.
I’m here to find you.”
"Where are the others?" Peach Blossom Fairy looked out the door.
Fang Ling took off her quilt: "Let's talk after getting up. Uncle Zheng is waiting in the living room."
When the Peach Blossom Fairy saw the sun outside, it was indeed almost at its zenith. She quickly got up, dressed and combed her hair, and asked someone to fetch water to wash up. It took less than a moment from getting up to getting ready. She looked at the way she was dressed in the room.
Ling couldn't help but said softly: "My daughter's family must not be lazy. If you manage it like this, you will ruin your natural beauty."
"Born with beauty, forget it." Peach Blossom Fairy replied casually, and subconsciously touched her left cheek with her fingers. Soon she pretended to reach out to brush her hair, and moved her hand to her left temple. She really didn't want to
Be willing to expose your inner inferiority and vulnerability in front of anyone.
After tidying up, the two of them left the room together and walked along the eaves towards the living room. When they arrived, they saw Zheng Qia sitting on a chair and drinking tea calmly. The three of them met and exchanged greetings for a while.
It was time for lunch, but Zheng Qia told the people at the village not to bring food over yet, and took Fang Ling and Taohua Fairy to a secluded place to talk, and asked a few followers to guard outside.
When Fairy Peach Blossom saw the battle, she couldn't help but ask: "What big thing happened?"
"Nothing happened, but I have some very important news to tell you, and then I want you to go run a very important errand." Zheng Qia sat down on the chair above and greeted again, "Be calm and don't be impatient.
, sit down."
Peach Blossom Fairy and Fang Ling followed the instructions and sat down to wait with curiosity. The two women sat together. Peach Blossom Fairy's beauty was really incomparable with Fang Ling. It wasn't that Peach Blossom Fairy's appearance was much different, but her dress was really lackluster.
Wearing a scarf on her head, a hat commonly worn by gentry men, a black gauze scarf hangs from each ear to gently cover her cheeks; although both sides of her face are covered, her purpose is obviously to cover up the scar on the left side of her face
, the shape of this hat is so ugly, it looks like the dog-skin hat that people in the north love. Because of wearing this hat, you have to wear men's clothes. The loose moon-white straight clothes cover up the natural curves of a woman's figure.
Completely.
Fang Ling is the complete opposite. The plain and ordinary skirt she wears seems to be no different from that of ordinary women, but the tailoring and exquisite details are definitely not what ordinary women have. The slightly shiny nails are exquisite.
The red lipstick and the white jade bracelet on the wrist embellish the plain colors to create an elegant, integrated, restrained and subtle look.
Zheng Qia's eyes swept over the two of them, and he didn't say much. He only spoke in a serious tone like an elder or a superior, but his voice was very low: "The list of people who know this news will be reported, so you
It cannot be disclosed to anyone without permission.”
After hearing this, they all nodded solemnly. Zheng Qia then whispered: "We have confirmed that Zhang Ning, the censor of Huguang, is the third son of Emperor Jianwen..."
Fang Ling's expression changed suddenly when he heard this, and he said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Zheng is saying that Ping An's original surname is Zhu, and he is a prince?!"
Zheng Qia nodded, and then roughly told how Mrs. Yao Ji adopted Zhang Ning and how they recognized each other, and then said: "Zhang Ping'an was ordered by the puppet government to inspect the details of the anti-evil sect and monitor Xuande after he came to the throne.
Our important person; but because of his true identity, he should be on our side. So it is extremely important for us to keep in touch with Zhang Pingan... Your first job is to stay with Zhang Pingan as a liaison person
The person who is solely responsible for this matter is Mrs. Yao, the leader of the anti-evil sect. From now on, I will contact Mrs. Yao for daily reporting, and occasionally I can exchange letters. The person who handles this job is very important. After careful consideration, I decided to choose the two of you.
I hope you will do your job well."
Seeing that Fang Ling's face was wrong, he said nicely: "Miss Fang and Zhang Ping'an have a good relationship, so they shouldn't be difficult to get along with, right?"
Fang Ling nodded lightly and said: "It was good at first, but suddenly I found out that he was the prince, and I didn't know how to face it for a while."
Zheng Qiadao: "Your Majesty is willing to be unyielding and loyal in order to be loyal to Emperor Jianwen and repay the kindness of the emperor. Since Zhang Ping'an is Jianwen's son, although he is a prince, he cannot be compared with the royal relatives and nobles of the puppet dynasty. You don't need to
Worry too much. Miss Peach Blossom Fairy Wang, who is respected by the king, committed suicide and died for the country when the city of Nanjing was destroyed. It is commendable for your loyalty to use your full name. You are all loyal and good people. Don't forget why your ancestors died!"
With these words, all the ancestors and ancestors were brought out. Fang Ling and Fairy Peach Blossom had nothing to say, so they had to agree.
Zheng Qia added: "The second errand must not be leaked. Soon the summit will send a very important person to Changde Mansion to meet with Zhang Pingan. People in our place must absolutely guarantee the safety of this person.
So after you two meet with Zhang Pingan, you must discuss this matter with him and let him make arrangements in advance to avoid being followed by government spies when you meet. Remember this."
Fang Ling thought for a while and asked: "We have never met Mrs. Yao, how can we contact her?"
"I will talk to you two about this in detail in the afternoon. You will set off tomorrow." Zheng Qia said slowly, "When you go to find Zhang Ping'an, you must have a reasonable reason. Didn't he send a confidant named 'Zhao Erniang'?
Are you going to South Zhili to reorganize the old troops? After you leave the quarry tomorrow morning, go east first and ask our people to guide you. When Zhao Erniang returns to Changde Mansion, ask her to take you there with her."
The Peach Blossom Fairy remembered that she and Zhao Erniang had eavesdropped on Fang Ling's private affairs in the Liyuan in the cold spring, and they got along quite well, so she blurted out with a smile: "Zhao Erniang knows me, so this matter should not be difficult to handle."
Zheng Qia nodded solemnly: "Let's have lunch first and get ready in the afternoon. The matter at hand is a major matter personally assigned by Jianwen Jun. You two must go all out and make no mistakes! Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious."
When Fang Ling and Fairy Peach Blossom went back to the room to prepare things, Fairy Peach Blossom whispered: "Uncle Zheng said that an important person came down to meet Zhang Pingan. I'm afraid this person is Lord Jianwen, right? Think about it, Lord just confirmed it not long ago
Zhang Ping'an is his son. Father and son have not seen each other for more than 20 years. It is best to meet him both emotionally and rationally. Is it possible that Uncle Zheng is so nervous today?" Fang Ling said hurriedly: "Since
Uncle Zheng didn't tell us clearly, so we'd better not talk about it. Besides, we should always be careful that walls have ears, so don't mention it again."
...Early the next morning, under Zheng Qia's arrangement, Fang Ling and Taohua Fairy were escorted out of Changde Mansion, and were waiting for Zhao Erniang's troops on the post road. As expected, Zhao Erniang brought a group of people who had previously interviewed the envoy from Yangzhou.
Helping the secret agent to make his way over, we "happened" to meet him on the road.
Of course Zhao Erniang knows them. Not only have they met before, but they also went to Chunhan Liyuan not long ago to deliver a letter. Although the friendship between them is not deep, it is not easy to meet acquaintances in the world. After exchanging greetings, Zhao Erniang
Then he asked them why they suddenly came to Huguang.
Fang Ling said that he had received Zhang Ning's letter and found out that he was doing official work in Changde Mansion and had a tea garden, so he thought of coming over to join him. Zhao Erniang thought about it and teased: "My boss is really attracted to women.
.”
Zhao Erniang had heard about the reputation of "Gu Chunhan" in Nanzhili. How could she be considered a famous prostitute and live a good life in Nanjing? Why would she need to go all the way to Changde Mansion to join someone else? The only reason
I'm afraid I want to stay together.
As for whether Fang Ling would affect Zhang Ning's business, Zhao Erniang didn't need to worry too much. Anyway, she would take the people over and let Zhang Ning handle it on his own. So the two people got together and walked into the Huguang territory together. Zhao Erniang
With the official documents signed by Zhang Ning on him, it was very easy to cross the city.
When they arrived at Wuchang Mansion, where the Chief Envoy of Huguang was located, Zhao Erniang once again confirmed that Zhang Ning had gone to Changde Mansion because Zhang Ning had left someone behind before leaving, and then continued on with the group of people.
At this time, the Changde Mansion's interview envoy also established a tea garden according to the old method of Yangzhou Biyuan, named "Yuanxiang Ming". They had reached an agreement with the Changde government and requisitioned the garden courtyard; Changde Mansion's treasury also had a tea garden.
The batch of tea leaves and tea sets was a kind of tax collected from tea merchants, and a lot of it was used by the prefect to curry favor with Zhang Ning. Xu Guanghao was responsible for setting up the tea garden, and everything went smoothly; the key was the "cooperation" of the local officials, and the prefect also
There is no way, the mode of power is from top to bottom. Although the rank of the censor is low, others have to go back to Beijing to see the emperor and the important officials of the court. If they offend, the consequences may be serious. I just want to say that the official governance in Changde Prefecture is very difficult.
There is chaos and so on. Is this a good job for a magistrate?
At present, the interviewing department is being established step by step. As long as Zhao Erniang brings experienced spies, we can copy the set of things in Yangzhou.
