Ling Nuantang also knew that her trip was just for a small business, so when Hongbowei came up to her and invited her to meet the princess and the princess at the Marquis Mansion, she was also surprised.
The Ling family's business is doing well, because they have gained a reputation for making musical instruments, but they are not rich and powerful. Secondly, their family is just a commoner. It is a great honor to go to the Marquis's mansion to meet the princess and princess of the dynasty.
Of course, Ling Nuantang didn't know that in the small Yanping Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, the princess was nothing at all, and there was a double emperor here.
As soon as they entered the gate of the Hou Mansion, a sudden gust of fragrance hit them. A beautiful girl dressed as a maid came up to her happily, stretched out a pair of beautiful little hands rarely seen in the world, and took Ling Nuantang's arm: "But Miss Ling's family?"
Xiaojiu came forward to welcome him... The most merciful person in the city, when he heard that Ling Nuantang was coming, he must be the first to greet him and come to see him.
Miss Ling shook her head: "Miss, the word "miss" is a bad word for a common girl, Ling Nuantang would never dare to be one."
Xiaojiu is lively and laughs, and is naturally good at gossiping. However, she has been strictly trained since she was a child, and she never behaves in an unreasonable manner. She is a conscientious and conscientious little maid. While greeting the distinguished guests, she was brought into the central hall. Chu Rong,
Xiao Fu is waiting for you here.
When she arrived at the place and saw the noble lady, Ling Nuantang observed the etiquette, but before she could bow down, Ren Xiaozai took a step forward to help her up, and said with a smile: "I have heard about Tang Di for a long time, and today I got my wish. I finally met her."
It’s your turn.”
After saying that, Xiao Zai felt that there was no reason for him to "hear the name of Tang Di for a long time", so he said shamelessly: "I have liked music since I was a child, especially the rhyme of the flute." The princess on the side smiled. Her
My sister knows best. The thing that Xiao Zai hates the most is those neither salty nor bland silk and bamboo music. On the contrary, he enjoys watching the monkey show and juggling from ear to ear.
Xiao Zai personally led her to sit down, while Xiao Jiu stood by and brought her some delicious tea... The eyes of the three women all fell on Ling Nuantang, and they looked at her carefully while exchanging pleasantries.
Regardless of appearance, behavior, or demeanor, Shi Xiaoxiao deserves to be described as 'unparalleled in elegance'. Although the nickname 'Beautiful Monk' is a nickname given by his friends, it is not for nothing. A woman who can never be forgotten by him will naturally not be forgotten.
Ling Nuantang can be considered a beauty. However, she walked all the way through the Hou Mansion from outside the door, walking from far to near. Her grace fell in Chu Rong and Xiao Fu's eyes. She was pretty, but she was not stunning.
.
But when she sat down and started chatting and laughing, the princess and others gradually realized her uniqueness...
When Ling Nuantang pays attention to herself, Ren Churong will feel that she is listening to me very seriously, even if what I say is just an insignificant joke, she is still serious;
When Ling Nuantang smiles, Ren Xiaoqiao will think that she is truly happy. That smile cannot be said to be very bright, but it reveals the glory from the inside out. If there is no happiness from the bottom of the heart, who can
Make your eyes sparkle with laughter?
When Ling Nuantang speaks, Xiaojiu can't help but pay careful attention, not wanting to miss every word. Her voice is so beautiful, so far, it is the clearest and most melodious voice that everyone has ever heard.
The old one is none other than Ai Guo. Xiaojiu once waved her hands and sighed: Such a nice voice, but it’s a pity that she uses it to speak foul language every day... Compared with Ai Guo, Tangdi’s voice is ordinary, but she speaks with great energy.
. It’s not that she is excited or her movements are exaggerated. On the contrary, she doesn’t raise her eyebrows, curl her lips, or shrug or wave. She just speaks quietly, but the quietly revealing and just-right look on her face will make everyone laugh.
I feel that it is a pleasure to 'watch' her speak.
After a short effort, Ren Churong finally found two words, two words that fit Ling Nuantang: vivid and vivid.
Her facial features are exquisite but not the most beautiful, but I have never seen such a lively woman, a lively woman.
With her here, it was as if the nave and the Hou Mansion had become a background, a picture scroll... She was not the protagonist in the painting, but without her, the painting would be gone. It was a very strange feeling that Ren Churong could not express clearly... In fact,
Think about it, the only words in this world that can move Shi Xiaoxiao's heart are 'vivid, vivid'.
After chatting for a while, the princess turned to the main topic: "Ling Yun is famous all over the world. She can go to Yanping to open a branch, and the whole city is honored. But I am still a little worried. With the current situation in Yanping, Sister Ling
I’m afraid I won’t be able to make much money from my business for a while..."
Xiao Zai has been with her sister since she was a child, and the two sisters have a tacit understanding. Chu Rong seemed a little cold, but she pretended to be enthusiastic and said frankly to Ling Nuan: "Let's make an agreement first. If you make money, you will keep it. If you don't make money, you will keep it."
You’re not allowed to leave right away, I’m the first to be reluctant to leave.”
Ling Nuantang responded: "There is a gold-selling nest in the feudal city, and there is a wonderful and auspicious place. It will be prosperous in the future. I am afraid that it will be crowned Nanli and unparalleled in the world. If I want to open a shop at that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to grab a good place... Actually
This is the business experience of the elders in the family. I don’t understand this. Nuantang will only love making flutes and drums in this life. Princess, don’t worry, she will definitely not leave for the time being. As for the future... If the shop closes down one day, I don’t want to leave either.
, a quiet town with rare good soil and water, I will never leave again."
The princess gave a satisfactory answer without comment, but just smiled. The young man was a little anxious, and smiled with gleaming eyes: "Speaking of the auspicious place of Miaoxiang... Miss Ling should know that the local host is Master Wuyan. I seem to have heard someone say that before.
Yes, you and he were old acquaintances."
The topic suddenly turned to Shi Xiaoxiao. It was obvious that Ling Nuantang looked dazed for a moment, and then responded: "My 'Ling Yun' address in Hongcheng was adjacent to Master Wuyan's Qingxiu Paradise.
"It's true that we have met, but when it comes to old acquaintances..." As she said that, she shook her head gently: "We can't talk about acquaintances, we only said a few words."
Shi Xiaoxiao said it was ‘six words’, and Ling Nuantang said it was ‘two sentences’. Ren Xiaoqiao’s heart was so itchy that he couldn’t stand it. He knew he shouldn’t ask, but he still asked: “Which two sentences?”
Chu Rong frowned. It was a bit excessive to ask about personal matters when they first met. She immediately coughed and glared at her sister again.
However, Ling Nuantang was very calm. He smiled brightly and answered Xiao Zai's question: "At that time, Hongcheng Lingyun had just opened. When he passed by, he came in and walked around, picked a flute and asked: How much does it cost. I answered.
: Three hundred coins. Then the waiter came up to him. He paid the bill, bought the flute, and left."
Ren Xiaoqian was stunned, Song Xiaojiu was dumbfounded, and Princess Chenghe was speechless... In fact, at sea, Shi Xiaoxiao understood clearly that "I only said six words to her", but this sentence was ignored by the woman
They were passed around and gradually turned into: Ling Nuantang’s Six Characters Breaking the Unpretentious Buddha’s Heart.
Now the truth is restored:
How much?
Three hundred articles.
Several women present didn't know whether to sigh in disappointment or praise in surprise: You two still remember such a small thing... At least, they understand now. Shi Xiaoxiao's flute was worth three hundred cents.
The business of money…
According to this price, what Madam Bo wants to do now is a big deal of almost 30 million Tangdi: one million taels of gold.
A lot of real gold, mostly one hundred taels and one ingot, was shipped from all twenty-one states in Dayan and collected one by one to the north. The fate of this money was secretive. But in the end, it could not escape the eyes and ears of Xie Men's lackeys.
During the recent period, the two members of the Silk family have been busy with their own affairs. The husband led the big dogs and puppies to fight the Wuyi Guards vigorously; the mother led her confidants to track down the gold. Now the gold's fate has basically ended. It is divided into two places.
, a sum of nearly 300,000 taels was hidden among tea, silk and other goods under the guise of a caravan, and was temporarily stored in Yanyun City, Xiongguan Pass, Dayanji; another sum of 700,000 taels was transported in
In the deep mountains at the junction of Yan and Quanrong, but the specific location has not yet been determined, the gold transporters are trekking hard in the mountains.
Even now, Xie Men's lackey has not been able to figure out whose family so much gold came from, but it is not difficult to see that the money is going to the grassland. As for why it was divided into two sums, Mrs. Bo's scheming is not clear.
It’s hard to guess the clues: money is used for transactions, 300,000 taels is the fixed amount, and the bulk of 700,000 taels is the capital.
Make a decision first. Wait until the other party actually does something, then pay off the principal.
Thinking about it this way, the initial deposit of 300,000 yuan may flow into the grassland at any time, and Mrs. Bo was very upset about this.
In the previous discussions, both Xie Men's lackeys and Tan Guide decided not to take action during the transportation of gold... The routes for transporting gold from various states have different dates. It seems that twenty-one golden streams are converging towards the north.
With Tan Guide's strength, the total number of men is enough to divide into twenty groups of robbers, but it is not so convenient in actual operations. It is not possible to mobilize 10,000 people. The imperial court is searching for rebels everywhere. Originally,
The well-hidden troops suddenly exploded like swarms, and they had no choice but to avoid being exposed. In this way, under the premise of ensuring that they are not noticed by the court, they can at best move two or three lines at the same time. As long as one of the lines is robbed, the other lines will be robbed.
Be vigilant, and the rebels will have no chance. They want to make a big profit, so they have been patiently waiting for all the gold to gather.
No one thought that the final destination of this money would be the enemy's Quanrong. Therefore, when they discovered that six of the lines, totaling 300,000 gold, had been transferred to Yanyun City, the rebels could only stare.
.
Once the money has entered Yanyun, it has nothing to do with Xie Men's lackeys. There are many soldiers in the important town of Xiongguan. I'm afraid it would be easier to steal Chang'e's Jade Rabbit on the moon than to snatch so much heavy gold from that city.
Fortunately, there are still 700,000 taels hidden in the mountains. Like the Great Living Buddha, Madam Bo is not greedy...
At this moment, Mrs. Bo was in Tan Guide's camp, having dinner with the old commander. Halfway through the meal, a confidant puppy came and presented a secret report, and also sent a baggage. Tan Guide understood the rules and avoided it for the time being.
, after the puppy left, he made money again, and then he noticed that Mrs. Bo's expression was full of frustration.
The old handsome Baimei Yixuan said: "Something has changed?"
"It's good news." She said the good news, but Mrs. Bo still looked helpless. Tan Guide said curiously: "Looking at you, it really doesn't look like there is good news."
"It's absolutely true, great news." Mrs. Bo announced the good news with a sad face. As if she was afraid that the other party wouldn't believe it, she took out the baggage she just received and threw a heavy gold ingot on the table with a 'dang' sound.
: "Look, this money has been obtained."
No need to ask, this piece of gold came from the mountains. Tan Guide's eyes lit up: "What's going on? Please tell me carefully!"
Mrs. Bo gathered her clothes and saluted, and said with a wry smile: "Please allow me to take a moment. I will go out and take a look at the moon. After I calm down, I will tell you the whole story."
Who is Tan Guide? He has a responsibility in his heart. No matter how confused he is, he will not be anxious at this moment. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Madam, please don't worry about me... But today is the first day of the new year and there is no moon in the sky. You can only
Look at the stars.”
On the first night of the first lunar month, there will be no moon in the night sky.
On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Bo was not the only one who looked at the moon, but also Yan Ding, the master of Yan State... Yan Ding had been on the plateau with straw for some time, but he was not in a hurry to go to Renka City. This was not their idea
, the itinerary after entering Tubo was all led and arranged by the reception brother sent by the Great Living Buddha. The Great Living Buddha intended to kill the preceptor's majesty and sink the national preceptor's character, so he ordered his brother not to take them immediately as soon as they met.
Come here, let's walk around first.
How could the city of Yanding take such a little trick to heart? He would just go with the flow and go as the other party led him. Anyway, he knew in his heart that even if the visitors from Chai Cuo Da Pagoda led him to the horizon, he would still be there in the end.
They have to be sent to the Great Living Buddha again.
After dinner, the Imperial Master and Daocao were walking and chatting outside. During this period, they raised their heads and looked at the night sky, ventriloquising: "They say that the plateau is closer to the sky, so the moon is brighter. From my perspective, there is not necessarily any difference."
.”
Straw couldn't find where the moon was, and then he remembered that today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you didn't see clearly. There is no moon tonight, so there is no difference."
The laughter coming from ventriloquism was unusually dull. The Imperial Master glanced at the straw and said, "No? Then where did the moon go?"
Daocao was stunned and couldn't answer. He felt that the question asked by the Imperial Master was a bit confusing.
The smile in the imperial master's eyes grew stronger, and he asked and answered himself: "The moon has not gone anywhere, it is still in the sky, but you and I can't see it. The moon at the new moon is invisible."
Speaking of the new moon, the Imperial Preceptor seemed to be interested. While walking around at will, he kept chattering: "The moon is respected by the sky and the earth, and the stars and rivers follow the moon..." The theory of the astrology of the Middle Earth has been around since ancient times, and the Han people believe in the sky.
In a round place, the sky and the earth where you are are the center of the universe, surrounded by the sun and the moon endlessly, and the movements and changes of the stars in the night sky are caused by the birth and setting of the moon. This is what the National Master said.
"The moon dominates the stars at night. The moon is not visible on the first day of the new year, but the stars and rivers are still moving... This is somewhat similar to the world." The tone of the national master's tone did not change, but there was something in his lowered gaze looking at the ground.
A touch of arrogance: "Maybe there is a hand that is moving the world, but how many people in the world can see this hand?"
Strawberry wanted to yawn, but after thinking about it, it felt a bit inappropriate. After enduring it, he laughed dryly a few times.
