Yan Qiyingjiu followed Ling Qingyu and Yang Zhao to disembark in Bianjing, and the others followed the boat to Heishuiguan. Considering that Luoyang is the territory of Duan'an County King, the goods on board disembarked at Xipu, and there were already Gao Liu is waiting with a thousand people.
Han Bian arrived in Bianjing a month earlier, and brought people to clean up the courtyard of the Ling family in Bianjing. Even the gate was replaced with a more majestic stone lion, and Yang Zhao's personal guard stood in front of the gate.
Two years later, when he was about to re-enter the courtyard, Ling Qingyu stood at the door in a daze for a moment, calmed down, and then stepped across the threshold as if nothing had happened.
"Girl! Miss me!" Alan rushed out of the yard with a bear hug, knocking all the melancholy in Ling Qingyu's heart away.
"Pain, pain, pain!" Ling Qingyu yelled straight after being stepped on by Alan.
"Huh? The pain has recovered so well?" Alan raised his eyebrows and let go of her, and even looked at the shoes that had been stepped on by gray footprints.
"You let me try stepping on it?" Ling Qingyu stretched out his foot to step on hers as he spoke.
"You are heartless, this is called stepping away bad luck." Alan jumped up, pulled Ling Qingyu and walked inside, took her pulse by the way, nodded and said: "Yes, the stagnant anger has dissipated a little."
"What are you doing here?"
"Didn't I hear you say that Bianjing is very lively during the Chinese New Year? I'm also here to join in the fun. By the way, when will we go to the Goulan night stall? Guanpu? The weather is good today, why don't we go tonight?"
"Grandma, will you let me take a breath first?"
"No, what did you call the restaurant last time? I've been waiting for you for half a month. Han Bian is so busy every day that he doesn't see anyone. Do you know how boring I am?"
"Where's Shi Fang ghost doctor?"
"What's the fun going out with those two! You're so poor!"
"Do you value my money or my people?"
"Is there a difference? Why is it so clear? Isn't the money yours?"
"Didn't you extort one hundred thousand taels last time?"
"That, I'm going to keep it as a dowry, and I'll depend on it for the rest of my life. I said don't be naughty, go change your clothes and take me to dinner!"
"I'll book a room first." Han Bian, who hadn't interrupted the conversation, shook his head and said with a smile.
Seeing Yan Qiying and Jiusum Xie Sanlang chasing the two women in, Yang Zhao slowed down and asked He Li, "What did the Ministry of War say?"
"This year, the rewards for Wudang Kungfu are relatively rich, but there is nothing special for us here. It should be fine if you show up tomorrow." He Li walked beside Yang Zhao and said, "But when I was in the Ministry of War I heard that this year's military salary may be in arrears again, and even the Zhao family army may not be able to pay the full amount."
"The weather is good this year, and the Zhengshitang has put in so many ways to collect money, so the treasury is still empty?" Yang Zhao sneered, and asked with a hint of sarcasm.
"I heard that the emperor wants to renovate several palaces in the harem, and asked the Zhengshitang to allocate 5 million yuan."
Yang Zhao paused, looked at He Li, and after thinking for a while, he asked in confirmation: "It's just to repair the palace, and you want five million guan?"
"That's not all, April next year is the emperor's forty-eighth birthday, and the Political Affairs Hall allocated nine million taels for the expenses." He Li said with a trace of contempt in his eyes. Their military pay in Heishuiguan is the lowest, and the general sergeant only has 20 per year, the lowest rank does not even have this amount, and some of the higher ranks only have 30 per year. It's only more than two million guan, and it still defaults every year or even doesn't pay it.
Yang Zhao fell silent, and after the two walked silently to the backyard for a while, Yang Zhao asked, "Did you say that you want Qing Yu to enter the palace for an audience?"
"I don't think I'll see you. The news I heard in the Ministry of War is that the emperor has acquired some new beauties. Those new palaces were built for these beauties. Now the emperor has not been in court for more than a month," He Li After thinking for a while, he said: "At most, in the first year of junior high school, I have to go down with those wives."
"Qing Yu's legs are not good. If Empress Dong makes things difficult again... I'd better find a way to push her away." Yang Zhao looked at the direction of the palace, and said to himself.
With Alan watching, Ling Qingyu took a shower and cleaned up, changed into crisp, ordinary clothes, and went out with Alan.
It was still early, and it was not time to eat. The streets were full of people, the crowds were bustling, and the atmosphere of the New Year was very strong.
Ling Qingyu was also interested, and did not take a car. He and Alan walked all the way to the Shangtuqiao area. This area is full of various shops, and all kinds of novelties emerge one after another, which dazzled the two of them.
After passing a few shops selling Kit Kat items, it was a big shop with an extremely luxurious and exquisitely decorated two-story gatehouse, with the word "Tianyilou" inscribed on it.
Alan looked Ling Qingyu up and down with his chin in his hand, and then looked at the colorful dresses on the women who went in and out of the gatehouse, and said, "Why don't we go in and make some clothes?"
It doesn't matter to Ling Qingyu whether she makes clothes or not, Cai Jingfang prepares a lot of clothes for her every year in Hangzhou, which she doesn't wear much, this time Cai Jingfang even prepared five big boxes of new clothes for her to wear when meeting guests. She didn't open a single box, and deep down, she didn't want to wear those brightly colored clothes. It's just that now she is really eager to find a place to sit. Although her legs are healed, it still hurts after walking for so long.
"Okay, just take whatever you fancy today, and I'll pay for it." Ling Qingyu said proudly, Alan's eyes suddenly curled up with a smile, and he took her hand and said, "Well, my girl is the best." .”
Tianyilou is the largest clothing store in Bianjing, with the best tailors and embroiderers. After entering the door, the inside of the hall is wider and deeper, and there are many small rooms at the back. On the counter in front, there are all kinds of high-end fabrics, which are full of brilliance, which makes people feel excited at first sight.
The guys in Tianyi Building are all good people. When they saw the man who was following the two women in plain clothes, they immediately put away their contempt and greeted them with smiles all over their faces.
"Two ladies, this way please~" The waiter ushered them into a small room at the back.
Yang Zhao glanced at the small room, He Li had already weighed a silver ingot in his hand, and smiled at the clerk, "Brother, give me a big room."
Seeing that the silver ingot was probably not worth twenty taels, the man's smile became even brighter, and he hurriedly said, "It's a small one, isn't it? I'll exchange it with you. Come, please go upstairs."
Ling Qingyu had already sat down, and sighed comfortably. Seeing the guy talking, he opened the door and walked out. Then he saw that the small room was indeed too small, and Alan followed him out excitedly, so he had no choice but to accept his fate. She stood up again, and the other half of her mouth was replaced by lamentation. Before she finished her sigh, an arm was wrapped around her waist, and most of her strength was relieved.
The second floor of Tianyi Building is much more luxurious and exquisite than the layout below. The divisions are all large suites, which are spacious and bright, and the furniture is even more elegant and generous. Even the tea served is high-quality pekoe.
With the tip of twenty taels of silver, the cloth sent by the buddy is all high-quality fabrics, and they also bring up various styles of dresses. Tianyilou has both ready-made clothes and custom-made clothes. If you like the style, you can order it The materials are tailor-made, although some women and ladies occasionally come to the store, but generally the rich and powerful families come to order.
Seeing Alan picking up the dress with bright eyes and being served by the women in the store, she went into the inner room to change clothes, Ying Jiu glanced at Yan Qi, asking if they should avoid it? Yan Qi glanced at Yang Zhao who was sitting next to Ling Qingyu pouring water for her, and stood by the window, and Ying Jiu also stood on the other side of the window.
"Do you have any men's clothes here? Bring me some too." Ling Qingyu said to the woman standing in the room after glancing at the men who had no intention of avoiding them.
"Yes." The woman replied, bowed and retreated.
"Girl, help me take a look~" Alan called in the inner room.
"No need, just get whatever you like, just stay inside and just look after yourself, there's no need to come out." Ling Qingyu raised her voice.
Chunfang, the steward of Tianyi Building, had a distorted expression. After hearing the words of the woman outside, the woman in front of her was really aggressive, and she was in good shape, and most of her clothes were dressed just right. One piece, the one that doesn’t fit well and I like that style, so I put it aside and prepare to choose the material for customization. After a while, I’m afraid that the clothes that I’ve put on the side won’t cost thousands of taels of silver. The old clothes are so ordinary that they can no longer be ordinary. Looking at her wearing the Luo Yi made of light Luo that costs a hundred taels of silver, she feels a little worried. Bar
Touching the fabrics brought by the woman, he looked at the brocade clothes of various colors hanging on the hangers. There are far fewer styles of men's clothing than women's clothing, but the same long gown, the same fabric and the same style, only the cuffs or belt Adding some patterns and pressing on the top, just because of such a small difference, it is a completely different feeling. The owner of this shop is indeed very clever! Ling Qingyu unconsciously raised his head and looked at the women who were accompanying him in the room. Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face, and still looked respectful. Well, the staff training is also very good. It's no surprise that the store can be so big.
