silk? After regaining consciousness for the first time, he put down the things in his hands and got up: "It's just about to be used."
Chi Jin nodded: "I'm going to the west city gate, the carriage is outside, and I'll take you there along the way."
Not deliberately not being attentive, a frank sentence, without giving any reason to refuse.
Chu Niang packed up his emotions, wrapped his cloak and followed him out, the wind was biting outside, there were not many people on the street, and many shops were half closed. But the door of the silk shop on West Street was open, and the clerk was standing at the door waiting for her to come. He bowed and said, "Miss, do you want to see the goods? This store is newly opened, and there are many good goods."
Looking back at Chi Jin, he nodded to her, put down the curtain and left.
Xu Chuning didn't think much about it, and followed the clerk into the store, picked out some beautiful silk threads, and saw a notice on the wall when he looked up.
"Does the girl know how to make ties?" The clerk laughed, "This is posted by our shopkeeper, who said that as long as someone can use the ten-color silk thread in our shop to make an exquisite lace, then he will give a piece of priceless lace." Ziyu, look."
He took out a box and opened it: "This is the jade."
Looking down, Xu Chuning gasped in fright.
The purple jade of good quality is engraved with auspicious patterns, and it can be used as an ornament with just a string.
Although the princess mansion gave her monthly money, but she was too embarrassed to take the flowers for nothing. Huaiyu would be giving birth in a few months, and she had been in a dilemma. I don't know what gift to give. Now this thing came by coincidence, if she can earn it, she won't worry about it.
His eyes lit up, and Xu Chuning asked the guy, "What kind of net is considered exquisite?"
The clerk said: "Girl, you can make it big. No matter how complicated the pattern is, as long as you are sincere, you will definitely be able to impress the shopkeeper."
After thinking about it, I went to the back of the counter and took a few pictures for her: "Look at the girl's face, these are for you."
Thanks again and again, Chu Niang took it and looked at it, the patterns on the picture are all good, there is a big red picture, the pattern is the most complicated and festive.
That's it!
With thoughts in her heart, she didn't bother to think too much about other things, she hugged the silk thread and went out and planned to walk back.
"Miss Xu." Lu Jingxing's voice sounded from behind.
Chu Niang was taken aback for a moment, and when he looked back, the shopkeeper Lu Da seemed to be going back to the Princess Mansion, and he smiled at her while sitting in the carriage: "It's such a cold day, you should go back with me."
As he spoke, he asked the coachman to put down the low stool.
He was afraid of the cold, so Xu Chuniang didn't refuse too much, got into the car and huddled in a corner, thanked him with a smile, and whispered: "I'm lucky today."
With a smile in his phoenix eyes, Lu Jingxing looked at her steadily.
He was going to the west of the city, but he met someone on the way, turned the front of his car around, and insisted on asking him to help see him off.
"Miss Xu, do you know what Chi Jin's previous surname was?" Thinking this was really interesting, Lu Jingxing couldn't help but open his mouth.
Chu Nian shook his head: "Master Chijin seems to seldom mention his own affairs."
"That means he is modest." Yu Gu's fan turned lightly, Lu Jingxing sighed. "If someone else was born in a farmer in the south of the Yangtze River, he would have to brag about it."
Jiangnan banker? Xu Chuning raised his eyes in shock: "Zhuang Beihe?"
"You've heard about it too?" Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, then nodded, "That's right, he has some friendship with General Xu."
Zhuang Beihe mastered martial arts and had conflicts with the imperial court. At that time, the Jiangnan Yamen had nothing to do with him. Xu Xian led the eldest princess to order him to go there. The two became friends for some reason. Later, Zhuang Beihe was recruited, and Xu Xian even sent him off all the way. Congratulations.
"Chi Jin is Zhuang Beihe's ninth son. His name is Yan Sui Han. He was originally a young master who was pampered and grew up. Who knew that he was hard-boned and disobedient to discipline. He went out to roam around at the age of seventeen. He was jealous and reckless and offended many people. He didn't want to go back to the dealer, so General Xu tricked him into Feiyun Palace."
Xu Chuning listened dumbfounded: "Cheat?"
"Isn't that right? With the unique knowledge of the world, I put it from the gate of the palace to Feiyun Palace one by one. Chi Jin was so innocent at the beginning. I picked it up one after another. After I picked it up, I found that there was a little girl with her hips in front of me. Beat him up without a word."
Lu Jingxing actually didn't see this scene, it was what Xu Xian said later, but after thinking about it, Li Huaiyu's bully look at that time must be very cute.
With a low smile, Lu Jingxing said, "If he wants to go back to the farmer now, he can go back immediately. After all, he has a serious official position, and he can be regarded as an explanation to the family, but he refuses."
Xu Chuning thought for a while, and said, "He thinks he hasn't done well enough."
After such a long time of contact, even if they don't have much heart-to-heart, Chu Nian can tell that although Chi Jin is gentle and considerate, he is very strong in his bones, and he is very strict with himself. He often wakes up early in the morning and can see him practicing swords outside. Before doing anything, think carefully before doing it. Once there is any mistake, you must avoid everyone and blame yourself for a long time.
For him, a serious official position is far from allowing him to go home and face his famous father.
Lu Jingxing said jokingly: "I don't know if it was because he was impressed by the tricks played by the eldest princess when he entered the palace. Afterwards, there will be more red gold methods. Now the group of people in Feiyun Palace don't dare to provoke him, for fear of being caught by him." Get out."
"Huh?" At this point, Xu Chuning disagreed, "How could he set someone up?"
He is clearly a very kind and simple person!
Looking down at the silk thread and picture she was holding in her hand, and looking at her determined expression, Lu Jingxing spread out his fan to cover his face: "Well... makes sense."
Young master Zhuang Jiu, the tricks have never been played without anyone noticing.
Xu Chuniang felt that shopkeeper Lu had misunderstood Chijin, but she had no position to say anything more. After all, she and Chijin didn't have a deep friendship, so it's better to go back and make friends honestly.
Lu Jingxing sent her to the Princess Mansion, but he didn't intend to get off the car.
Chu Niang asked curiously, "Aren't you going in?"
Smiling lightly, Lu Jingxing said, "Suddenly I remembered that I still have something to do, the girl should go back first."
Slightly dazed. Xu Chunian was stunned.
Since Lord Ziyang and Huaiyu were reunited, shopkeeper Lu seemed to seldom appear in the Princess Mansion. He has many shops and the largest restaurant and inn in the first-tier city. Huaiyu is not worried about resting wherever he wants.
Standing at the door watching the curtain fall. Blocking his passionate eyes, Xu Chuniang suddenly remembered a poem that was widely circulated in the capital:
The luan grate wins but does not return the person, drunk and sleepy for a full moon.
Shopkeeper Lu's Nanyang Jade Bone Fan has broken the hearts of many beauties in the capital, and it is inevitable that someone will look for death and life for him, and recommend himself as a pillow for him. But after so many years, why is he still alone
She brought this question back to the main courtyard and asked Huaiyu.
Li Huaiyu smiled and leaned on the soft couch and replied: "He was too flamboyant when he was young, and he had seen all kinds of things in the world, so he got tired of it. If you want him to have a family, unless you come to a country and a city, the color is better than him. Beauty, otherwise how could he be tempted?"
Ziyang Jun looked at the document quietly in the outer room, the vermilion pen paused, and a bright red dot fell.
Staring at that point, he took out the clean letter paper next to him and changed the writing brush. I wrote a letter and handed it to Chengxu, and asked him to send it out.
Li Huailin was having a headache about the severance of diplomatic relations at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and a person with no eyesight came up to report: "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, the Eastern Jin Dynasty is now assisted by Lord Baihua, and Lord Baihua has a very close friendship with Lord Ziyang. If Lord Ziyang comes forward about this matter, there may be room for change."
His face darkened, Li Huailin said: "Mr. Ziyang doesn't even want to go back to the capital now, what else is Aiqing looking for?"
The man was obviously just transferred from outside the capital, and his face was full of confusion: "Your Majesty, such a polite person, why didn't he return to the capital? Is there any embarrassment?"
That's not the end of the story. He was covered by the person next to him and taken out.
Qi Han wiped the sweat from his forehead, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to take it to heart."
Li Huailin sneered: "It's been so long, and there are still so many people who regard Lord Ziyang as a god."
"Frozen three feet, it will take a long time to melt." Qi Han said, "Mr. Ziyang's prestige for many years, and he has never done anything wrong. There is really no rush to change the world's opinion."
How can you be in no hurry? Sister Huang and Lord Ziyang both left the capital, and now, as far as he could see, there was devastation. In the past, when he was not in power, the officials never said that he was not at all, but instead respectfully invited him to become the court as soon as possible. Right now it's fine. No matter what he did, some people would mention Princess Ziyang and Lord Ziyang in front of him, sighing, as if they felt that he was not qualified as an emperor.
How could the attitude of these people change so quickly
After all, I am still young, and my heart is hard to calm down. Li Huailin turned his head and asked, "Did the people from Pingling take orders?"
"Return to Your Majesty, take it. The imperial envoy arrived the day before yesterday. Counting the days, he should have already entered the first-tier city."
"Very good." He said angrily, "Since your lords miss Huang Jie so much, you might as well invite her back so that they can have a good time seeing her."
Ning Guifei listened behind the screen and sighed silently.
When His Majesty fell ill a few days ago and was dazed with fever, he still called out "Sister Huang", but why did he seem to be a different person when he was standing here wearing a dragon robe
He is already an emperor and has everything. In fact, if he can let the eldest princess go, it will be a good thing for him.
What a pity... She shook her head.
On a gloomy day, dark clouds overwhelmed the city, and the imperial envoy Jia Liang brought a thousand troops from Pingling. Holding high the sword bestowed by the emperor, he marched towards the first-tier city with arrogance and arrogance.
"My lord, I heard that the eldest princess Danyang kills people without blinking an eye, you'd better be careful." Someone next to him cupped his hands.
With a chuckle, Jia Liang said: "I have already found out that there are no defenders in the first-tier cities. There are only a few bandits making trouble. With so many of us, why are we afraid of a princess? Even if she moves reinforcements, the reinforcements behind us will be worse than the one behind us." There are so many of them, and Mr. Pingling is supporting her!"
"But..." the man whispered, "This city is also close to Ziyang. I heard people say that Lord Ziyang seems to be here too."
"Nonsense!" Jia Liang scolded, "Mr. Ziyang is busy in the main city of Ziyang, how could he come to the first-tier city all of a sudden? Besides, the king and the eldest princess of Danyang are inseparable. Who in the world doesn't know? He You came here to help us, what are you afraid of?"
Thinking about it, it seems that this is the reason, the pawns kept silent, and the army continued to move forward. Jia Liang looked at the fragile city wall of the first-tier city from a distance, raised his chin high, and sent a message: "Go and ask them to open the city gate, or if they don't open it, let's just step over and level the city wall!"
The people behind him booed and laughed, and those who shouted ran quickly, and went to pass the message with a playful smile.
The first-tier cities are poor, and the city gates look crumbling. Someone on the tower heard the call, stuck out his head to look at them, and said coldly: "No."
