There is a faint fragrance floating in the room, and a faint faint smoke floats out of the animal-shaped incense burner. It is emitted after burning tiger wood from the far north of the mainland. There is a simple and elegant table with some rouge and gouache, and a simple and lively sketch of a landscape on the white wall. The whole room looks extremely clean and simple.
Burning tiger wood is produced in the coastal areas of the far north of the mainland. The tree body is very short, even some are close to shrubs. However, this kind of tree grows very slowly. It can take dozens or hundreds of years to only grow to more than one meter high. It can It can withstand the strong winds at the seaside. The tree is dense and has a light fragrance. It is not easy to burn, but the fragrance it emits is refreshing and can repel insects and miasma, which is particularly valuable. After the tree was cut off, its wood grain was distinctive, resembling a tiger head pattern, hence the name Tiger Pattern Tree.
Because it grows in the coldest places in the far north, and the quantity is very rare. If it can be transported to the Tanghe Central Plains, the price is extremely high, and it is not allowed to be heard by anyone but the rich and powerful.
The lights flickered softly, the cold night was deep, but the woman sitting by the window was still stroking her forehead and thinking. It’s been a while since I’ve been in the northwest. Although I haven’t been out much, I can see that although the lives of the people here are not as good as those in the prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea, the spirit of vigorous development contained therein is far from being sluggish. Nothing comparable in the interior of the empire.
Although she was indoors, the woman's face was still covered by gauze, but her big bright eyes flickered under the light, and she could tell she was thinking about something. This Li Wufeng is really not simple. He has achieved this in just a few years. With the prosperous scene in front of him, no one can deny the other's ability. The woman found that her thoughts were unknowingly tilted towards the man who had mixed reviews in the empire. This seemed to be somewhat contradictory to her own purpose of coming to the northwest. Even the woman herself felt that this was a bit inappropriate, but it was fact.
Shaking her head, the woman smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. Her fate was still in the hands of others, but she still had the time to think about it. Isn't it too boring? In the eyes of outsiders, she is so high above the rest that even the dignitaries of the empire are unable to play the piano. How carefree and carefree is that, and which woman in the entertainment industry can have such freedom? But when she thought of the eyes behind her, she felt shuddering, her brows darkened, and who knew what was on her mind
After taking a breath, the girl focused on what she saw tonight. Where did those three guys come from? Their status is obviously not low, so what is their purpose of coming to the northwest
"Miss, Mrs. Jin is here." The voice of the maid outside the door sounded.
"Oh, please invite Sister Jin to come in." The girl quickly collected her thoughts and stood up.
There was a faint sound of footsteps, and the same young woman with a half-veiled veil appeared outside the door, "Oh, sister, you haven't rested yet? You've had a hard night, so you should rest early." Having said that, the veiled young woman walked lightly. Moved, half-twisted her buttocks, and walked into the room.
"Sister, please sit down quickly. It's okay. I've rested for such a long time. It's okay to play for a while. Just practice your skills." The girl's eyes fell on the other person's face. Although she couldn't see the other person's face below the eyes, the girl felt It can be seen that in the past few days, the mood of the young woman in front of me seems to be very different from the previous period. Especially those eyes that have always been filled with an indescribable charm in the past few days. When she speaks, her words are much more cheerful than before, as if she has encountered something happy, which makes her happy. I can't understand it.
He has vaguely noticed the identity of the other party. It seems that he is also an agent sent by a certain force in the northwest. It is consistent with the information provided to him by the person behind him when he came to the northwest. When he first came to the northwest, this woman behaved as if It's very plain, and you can feel that the other person always has an indescribable depressed mood during the conversation. But for some unknown reason, this woman has swept away her original gloomy atmosphere in the past few days, and even exudes a breath of spring in her every move. Could it be that this woman has encountered something special
Just when Yao Lian was full of questions and guesses about the other party, Jin Wanyi was feeling proud. The magic power of taboo is indeed huge. Perhaps it was other people's women that further stimulated the black desire in Wu Feng's heart. After several love affairs, Jin Wanyi, who was still a little unable to let go, gradually put aside all restraints and indulged herself to her heart's content. Catering to the other person, she had never been satisfied in the past few years and finally fully enjoyed the sweet rain of love. Even though she was brought to death, she had no regrets. The strong sexual impact made her find that she seemed to be no longer in love. I can't leave that man anymore.
After the storm, it was inevitable to say some soft and affectionate pillow talk. After getting the assurance from the man beside her, she finally let go of the only burden in her heart. She knew how much the person behind her valued the man beside her, her family. The problem of the two men was not worth mentioning at all, so she tried her best to please them in various places, completely abandoning her original chaste and strong identity in the imperial capital.
Moisturized by the rain and dew, her changes naturally cannot be hidden from anyone who cares. However, due to Wu Feng's deliberate concealment, no one except her own confidant butler knew the truth behind it. But under Yao Lian's careful attention, some of her abnormal behaviors have attracted the other party's attention.
"Well, the war in Kansai seems to have not stopped yet. The Taiping Sect's rebels seem to be really troublesome. The Imperial Army has also suffered a loss. I don't know when the road to the east will be truly unobstructed. "My sister has been out for so long and is used to life in Jiangdong. I wonder if she can adapt to life in the remote northwest?" The young woman sat down and casually asked about the other party's home life.
"Thank you for your concern, sister. Although I am weak, I have been out a few times. The appearance of the northwest is far beyond my imagination. In fact, its prosperity is not much different from the other prefectures in Jiangdong. The situation in the northwest that my sister usually hears in Jinling is completely different from the situation in Qingyang in front of me." Yao Lian answered politely with a smile, but she was looking to see if she could find out from the woman across the way about the three unknown people next to Li Wufeng tonight. Who exactly he is? Maybe this woman, as the owner of this Fengju, knows something about him.
"Oh, my sister's opinion is actually the same as my elder sister's when she first came to the northwest. When everyone mentions the northwest in the imperial capital, they have the impression of being desolate and remote, sparsely populated, and chaotic. In fact, I heard people who have lived here for a long time say, The situation was indeed like this a few years ago, even worse than imagined. However, since Mr. Li took charge of the northwest, the situation has changed three times every year. He has driven back the enemy invaders, wiped out bandits, rectified public security, developed the economy, encouraged agriculture, industry and commerce, and the northwest has changed. Because of the new look, the locals here regard Master Li as a living Bodhisattva." Jin Wanyi didn't know why she unknowingly sang praises for that man. Was it a compliment from the bottom of her heart or because he had It was difficult for her to distinguish between sexual and emotional entanglements.
Yao Lian was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the other party actually sang praises for Li Wufeng, and it seemed that she was not making it up against her will. Could it be that this woman had any other intentions
"Sister is right. My little sister has also heard the servants talk about the changes in the northwest. It seems that Mr. Li is indeed a dragon among men and worthy of being a national hero of the empire." Yao Lian agreed with a smile and changed the topic. Let's talk about tonight's performance, "My little sister had the honor to meet Mr. Li in the imperial capital. Today's performance is my wish that the northwest under Mr. Li's jurisdiction can become more prosperous."
With her eyes flowing, Jin Wanyi guessed what the other party was thinking. Although this woman was one of the top three piano masters in the empire, the person next to her had already told her that the other party's background was not simple. She was not as innocent as a fun woman on the surface, but after all, she The person next to the pillow couldn't tell what was behind him, but he just had to pay more attention to it.
"Hey, if Mr. Li could hear such blessings from my sister, he would definitely be filled with ambition and joy. It's really rare for a girl to boast like this in the empire." Jin Wanyi answered carefully while thinking carefully about the meaning of the other party's words. .
"Sister, you are serious. I am just a first-class ordinary woman who has fallen into the world. How can I be worthy of my sister's words? It's just that when I saw Mr. Li and several other guests tonight, they all had extraordinary bearings. They are obviously the ministers of Mr. Li. , I'm just deeply admired." Yao Lian continued to talk quietly.
But Jin Wanyi, who had been prepared for a long time, gradually understood the other party's intention, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, except for Mr. Li, the other three are also important ministers of Mr. Li. They rarely meet each other. There are several important guests of Mr. Li who have admired the girl’s reputation for a long time.”
Jin Wanyi actually didn't know who the other people were except for the people from the northwest, but he also noticed that these people didn't seem to come from the same place, and they seemed to be in a bad mood, but it seemed that the pillow lover was She was very interested, and since her lover didn't tell her, she didn't dare to ask more questions. At this time, when Yao Lian asked, she vaguely realized the purpose of the other party's question.
"Oh, how many other guests are Mr. Li's?" Yao Lian pretended to be a little surprised.
"Well, it seems that they are guests from the north, and my sister knows it well. Why, she seems to be very interested in them?" Jin Wanyi answered vaguely, and asked with a half-smile, "Well, it seems that there is something in it." This young guest is very impressive, isn't he?"
Visitors from the north? Where could it come from? While she was thinking about it, Yao Lian was startled by the other person's rhetorical question. She was about to explain, but when she heard the other person's last sentence, she thought that the other person was thinking of the other side. She felt relieved and pretended to be shy and annoyed: "Sister, I'm joking, sister. In this life, I have already made up my mind that I will live forever."
