Yan Chi and Qin Wan left Hejia Village early the next morning. It took more than a day to go back, but fortunately, the stormy night before stopped in the middle of the night. Although the road on the second day was a bit muddy, the weather But it was very good. After walking for a day, in the evening of the second day, they returned to the inn where they stayed before. Qin Wan and Yan Chi rested for the night, and went straight to the capital the next day.
Going fast all the way, it was already sunset when we arrived in the capital. Qin Wan went to Anyanghou's Mansion first, and then came out after a brief report to Yue Ning. To appear authentic, Yue Ning accompanied Qin Wan to Zhongyonghou's Mansion.
On the carriage, Yue Ning asked, "Where have you been these few days?"
Qin Wan said, "I heard that there is an old genius doctor in Cangshan County. I went to look for it, but I couldn't find it."
Yue Ning looked at Qin Wan, and shook her head after a while, "Forget it, if you want to tell me, you will naturally say, if you don't want to tell me, then you will only prevaricate me if I ask, I will trust you Well, you always have your reasons."
Qin Wan suddenly left the capital for many days, but still kept it from Qin Shu. If he was really looking for a miracle doctor, why did he hide it from Qin Shu? Therefore, she definitely would not believe Qin Wan's words.
Qin Wan smiled slightly, only Yue Ning could trust her so much!
Qin Wan hugged Yue Ning's arm, "I've been away for a few days, how is His Royal Highness Prince Yi's eye disease?"
Yue Ning hurriedly said, "It's still the same, Miracle Doctor Sun is very dedicated, don't worry."
Qin Wan nodded, "Okay, I'll give him an injection tomorrow, so has anything happened in the capital these few days?"
Yue Ning rolled her eyes and shook her head, "It's all right, the prince's wedding is coming soon, King Cheng is preparing for the wedding next month, and the courtiers are doing as usual, but you know me, I don't pay much attention to these things .”
Qin Wan nodded slightly, but his heart was far less calm than it appeared on the surface.
At this time last year, when the Prince Jin case happened, Concubine Jin was the emperor's favorite concubine, and Prince Jin was the emperor's eldest son. These two people were involved in a case at the same time, which shocked the government and the public.
King Jin was imprisoned, and his father was ordered by the emperor to investigate the matter. It was originally just a murder case, but after the fall of King Jin, there were many changes in the capital. Many people in the court were implicated in the case of King Jin. Those who spoke, those who interceded for the King of Jin, did not end well in the end. When the old officials were demoted, new officials had to go up and let their own people occupy the position, which was equivalent to gaining more power in their hands. Prince and King Cheng, who is behind the scenes
Qin Wan had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and when he and Yue Ning returned to the Hou Mansion, the Hu family couldn't help but be very happy. Qin Wan is half of his own, but Yue Ning has a noble status. Qin Wan and Yue Ning had tea in the front yard for a while. Wan only said that he had been with Princess Taichang for the past few days, but Mrs. Hu did not become suspicious. After sitting for a while, Qin Wan took Yue Ning back to Songfengyuan.
Today's Hou Mansion is full of new atmosphere, Yue Ning laughed all the way, "Speaking of which, there are a few interesting things in Beijing these days..."
Qin Wan hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
Yue Ning said with a smile, "The prince and King Cheng's wedding is a rare opportunity."
Qin Wan was puzzled, and Yue Ning said, "The emperor hates forming cliques for personal gain, so for so many years, even if the crown prince and King Cheng wanted to win people's hearts, they did not dare to sit openly, and the people below did not dare to flatter. If one is up, one is not good, and it will cause trouble for the prince and King Cheng. In recent years, the prince and King Cheng have not had any big happy events, so everyone has no reason to give gifts. It is rumored that the emperor arranged With eyeliner on, everyone dared not act rashly."
"But at this moment, the two Highnesses are getting married, but they can send it off in a fair manner. Not only must they send it off, but they must also not fall behind. However, it also depends on the situation. Some people are eager for quick success, but they have no brains. It is both eye-catching and stupid to move the priceless things to the prince and Cheng Wang's mansion, but some old and cunning people know the "Tibetan Ritual", on the surface it looks like a Jade Avalokitesvara, but the Jade Avalokitesvara hides the East China Sea Ye Mingzhu, on the surface, seems to be sending an ordinary scroll of ancient paintings, but the real painting inside is the work of a master in the painting of the previous dynasty, and it is the favorite of the two highnesses for a long time... "
Yue Ning said with a smile, "Two days ago, the second elder brother said that the chief executive above him was also thinking about giving some gifts. He heard that the crown prince likes small-leaf red sandalwood, so the chief presented a piece of small-leaf red sandalwood heirloom from his family, but felt that the Buddha statue was too big. I don’t know what to ask someone to carve, but I accidentally learned that the prince likes birds, so I asked someone to carve an eagle... "
Yue Ning originally said it as a joke, but Qin Wan felt a slight twitch in his heart when he heard it, the prince likes birds
"His Royal Highness likes birds? Why don't I know?"
Yue Ning said, "Why have you ever paid attention to the prince? The second elder brother said that the head of the military department spent a lot of money to find a lot of contacts in order to find out about this. The information was bought from the eunuchs and maids in the palace. It is said to be true."
Qin Wan really doesn't pay much attention to the prince, but the prince's personality doesn't seem to be someone who likes to play with birds? Qin Wan had some doubts in her heart. The prince gave her a very calm feeling, even to the point of deep and gloomy calm. She couldn't figure out what it was like for the prince to raise birds...
"The two big weddings are very close this time, and the officials in the court are really embarrassed. Now, there is nothing in the court, but there is a lot of excitement outside. One big wedding is torture, let alone two. , everyone doesn’t like to send duplicates to others, but it’s really hard to find two unique treasures.”
Qin Wan felt difficult when she heard Yue Ning's words, but fortunately she didn't need to think about it.
Thinking of this, Qin Wan suddenly thought of Qin Xiang, because the relationship between Qin Xiang, Zhongyonghoufu and Chengwangfu was tense, and after Qin Chaoyu got married, Zhongyonghoufu was clearly a princeling. Send an unremarkable gift to King Cheng. The wedding between King Cheng and Feng Shenbi is on July 19th.
July nineteenth... what a coincidence.
Not long after Yue Ning left, Qin Wan went out again, and she arrived at the house on the west side.
Uncle Han didn't expect Qin Wan to come suddenly, and he was very happy with his second treasure. Qin Wan said, "Uncle Han, we have many shops, do you know the relationship between officials in the city?"
Qin Yide's family property is quite a lot, and now Qin Wan owns it all alone. There are many shops, and it is unavoidable to deal with officials, and the business in the shop comes and goes. Whatever you do, you have an approximate number. Sure enough, Old Man Han nodded and said, "Not to mention, the Golden Tower under Miss' hands can know the relationship between ladies and gentlemen in the capital throughout the year. What does Miss want to know? Mr. The slave will go to the shop later and explain it."
Qin Wan pondered for a moment, "The person I want to know is a member of the third rank in the imperial court. You don't have to inquire too much. Just try to know the general movement as quietly as possible. It's okay if you can't find out."
Old Man Han nodded quickly, then looked at Qin Wan seriously.
Qin Wan paused and said, "I want to know what Dali Temple Minister Li Muyun has bought recently. About this person, the more you tell me, the better..."
Although Qin Wan doesn't have a special intelligence network, in a place like the capital, businessmen can see in all directions.
Boss Han and his son are ex-officials of the Qin family. They already have a broad vision and have been managing Qin Yi's business in the capital for many years. Naturally, they are not comparable to ordinary businessmen.
Hearing that it was Li Muyun, Minister of Dali Temple, Old Man Han's face became more dignified. He obviously knew who this person was. Seeing this, Qin Wan felt a little relieved. Since Old Man Han knew, there was no need for her to say more. !
Qin Wan left the house, got into the carriage but ordered Bai Ying to drive around to another street, that street was the old house of the Shen family, the carriage moved slowly, Qin Wan lifted the curtain, and could see at a glance Arriving at the lintel of the dilapidated Shen Mansion, it was on fire, and it was the old house of a criminal minister, even if the government wanted to sell it, no one would sell it.
In midsummer, people who were obviously hot were sweating profusely, but Qin Wan felt a chill in his heart.
Next month will be July, time flies by like a flash, and it will be a year in a blink of an eye. This year, she finally has some room for planning, and she is no longer as hopeless and helpless as she just came back from the dead. According to.
After the curtain fell, Qin Wan didn't let Bai Ying stop beside the old house. The carriage passed by the wrong door, and soon left the old alley. It's far away from the alley.
As soon as Qin Wan left, Sun Muqing's figure appeared outside Shen's old house, and a middle-aged man stood beside him, saying, "My lord, this is the mansion you were looking for, the mansion of the former Minister of Dali Temple. There is no one else, just go after you look, and don’t get into trouble.”
Sun Muqing smiled gently, "Thank you very much, I'm just looking around casually, so I won't cause trouble."
The man was a passer-by, and Sun Muqing brought him here after giving him money. The man shook his head at Sun Muqing, as if he thought Sun Muqing looked too stupid, but Sun Muqing pulled him and said, "This house can be bought now." come down?"
The man's complexion changed a little, "Young master, if you can buy it, of course you can buy it, but this house is called a haunted house by everyone. The whole family is dead, and it's still under fire. My son, even if you have money, don't buy this house." , where can't you buy a good house in this capital?"
Sun Muqing said, "This house is now in the hands of the government?"
The man nodded, looked at Sun Muqing's happy face, and shook his head, "Hey, my lord insists on buying it, so I won't say anything, I'll go first."
Sun Muqing nodded, and the man turned around and sighed, "People are stupid and have a lot of money!"
…
…
Early the next morning, Qin Wan arrived at Prince Yi's mansion.
Xiao Nu led her all the way to the flower hall, but before she got out of the flower hall, Qin Wan heard a quiet flute sound, so early in the morning, Qin Wan didn't expect someone in the house to play the flute, and her feet stopped suddenly.
The midsummer in the early morning is cool, but the sound of the flute is colder than the cool wind. In the ethereal and low-pitched tune, there is a loneliness that is so thick that it cannot be resolved. The person who plays the flute seems to be trapped by something but powerless. Qin Wan listened to her for a while, and she knew who the person playing the flute was.
After waiting for half a stick of incense, the sound of the flute faintly stopped, and Qin Wan entered the flower hall.
As soon as he entered the flower hall, Qin Wan saw a white figure with wide sleeves facing the wind. Yan Ze's eyes were covered with white ribbons. He was standing in front of the window of the west wing, obviously unable to see anything, but he looked like he was admiring the scenery outside the window. If it wasn't for the sound of the flute just now, Qin Wan would have thought that Yan Ze was as unrestrained and unrestrained as he appeared on the surface.
Qin Wan blessed the body, "I greet His Royal Highness..."
Yan Ze seemed to know that Qin Wan was here, and smiled slightly, "I made you laugh."
Qin Wan quickly shook his head, but then realized that Yan Ze couldn't see, so he said again, "How come, His Highness's flute sound is long and long, very pleasant."
Yan Ze smiled and turned towards Qin Wan, "What kind of person is the princess?"
Qin Wan raised her brows and didn't understand for a moment, Yan Ze said gently, "I still remember Ning'er's appearance, now that she's grown up, she should be more angular than before. I listened to her and felt that she was capable. He's still a bit of a little girl, I'm afraid he's still the same as when he was a child. When Miracle Doctor Sun spoke, his voice was like broken jade, and his laughter was gentle and pure. I guessed that he was a very handsome, amiable, innocent and kind person , so I was wondering what kind of person the Princess is."
After hearing this, Qin Wan understood. Yan Ze couldn't see it, so he just heard the voice and imagined the appearance of this person. Qin Wan felt a little sad in his heart, but said on the face, "Then what kind of person does Your Highness think I am?"
Yan Ze quickly said, "The voice of the princess is like a clear spring passing over a stone. The ordinary tone is gentle and clear, but when treating people, the voice is mature and calm. I guess, the princess is a very persistent and tough person. On the surface, he looks weak like a delicate person. Hua, but in the bottom of her heart, it is difficult for ordinary people to maintain a calmness, which is the opposite of Ning'er."
Qin Wan couldn't help laughing. Yan Ze has been blind for so many years, and she is very good at listening and distinguishing people. She does give people a sense of gentleness and graceful appearance. It can be seen that anyone who has seen her autopsy knows what she is like Temperament, as for Yue Ning, she is a typical example of being strong on the outside and soft on the inside. Although Yan Ze is blind, the eyes in his heart are bright.
"Is your Highness's description correct? Let's see for yourself when His Highness's eyesight is good."
These words are encouragement, Yan Ze smiled slightly, "The princess is very confident?"
Qin Wan said, "I dare not speak with full confidence, but I believe that God will not be so cruel to His Highness. Forget about the past, Your Highness will only get better and better in the future."
Yan Ze smiled deeply, "The princess must be a very beautiful person."
Just now, Yan Ze didn't mention whether she was beautiful or not, so Qin Wan said "Oh", "How can you tell?"
Yan Ze took a few steps towards her, and came to a place not far away from Qin Wan. Qin Wan didn't know what he was going to do, but saw Yan Ze suddenly raised his hand, and his hand was searching in the air. Touching the top of Qin Wan's head, Yan Ze immediately smiled, "I see, the princess is only a little worse than Ning'er."
