It was supposed to be a place for sensual dogs and horses, but it became a quiet qin and tea banquet.
Jiamin sat in the corner without making a sound, Hua Liuli leaned on the soft couch and was served by the beautiful maids. The other girls saw that the two princesses did not speak, nor did they speak, holding tea cups and pretending to appreciate the sound of the piano.
Miss Yao said yin and yang strangely: "It is said that peony flowers are also romantic when they die as ghosts. The Lord Fushou County is not in good health, so it is better to go out less."
Hua Liuli closed her eyes and opened her eyes.
"If you're not in good health, you need to walk and see more. If you're in a good mood, your body will naturally get better." Seeing Hua Liuli open her eyes, Jiamin's heart tightened. She grabbed her cousin's wrist and gestured to her. Don't speak again, "As the saying goes, good looks are delicious, and your spleen and stomach are not good, Lord, look at good-looking people, it will benefit your body and mind."
Miss Yao could never have imagined that Jiamin would help Hua Liuli to speak to this point. Who is her little sister, and how can she turn her elbows out
Hua Liuli saw Jiamin's nervousness, she sat up slowly, and smiled, "Sister Jiamin is indeed the daughter of a princess, she really has a lot of knowledge."
"Heh." Jiamin laughed dryly, who could understand the pain of talking nonsense with her eyes open
"I suddenly remembered that there are still some things at home, so I'm leaving." Miss Yao glanced at Jiamin and made a move to leave.
She is already angry, Jiamin should come to coax her, right
"Then be careful on the way." Jiamin breathed a sigh of relief and walked away. She didn't have to worry about little cousin angering Hua Liuli when she left.
"You..." Miss Yao was really angry now, she was so angry that she turned around and walked out.
"Miss Yao, walk slowly." Hua Liuli smiled and waved to Miss Yao.
"Hua Liuli, don't be complacent!" Yao girl pointed at Hua Liuli and said, "In a few days, the list will be released. I want to see how many rankings your brother can get."
Miss Yao threw down the harsh words and left, leaving Jiamin and several other little sisters looking embarrassed.
"Fu Shou County Master, my cousin is a bit stubborn, but..." Jiamin said shamelessly, her little cousin didn't have any ill intentions, and she mocked other people's rankings in the imperial examinations would not be too good.
She looked at Hua Liuli and silently stroked her forehead. It was always someone else who helped her smooth things out. How could she do this kind of work? But Hua Liuli's vengeance is still the kind of vengeance that hides a knife in a smile. Who knows when she will suddenly start taking revenge
"It doesn't matter, Miss Yao has a straightforward personality. I believe she has no malicious intentions." Hua Liuli said with a smile, "You guys can still enjoy the music with me."
Jiamin glanced at Hua Liuli silently, she couldn't believe a word of what this woman said.
Seeing that these noble women were finally planning to appreciate their piano sound, the piano master cheered up and played a difficult tune.
As the most famous violinist of Jin Lingyuan, he is not only proud of his face, but also his violin skills that make countless women obsessed.
"This tea is not as delicious as the one we often go to."
"It's not a serious teahouse after all."
The luthier's fingers trembled slightly, and he played a wrong note. The famous luthiers in the whole capital are here. The main point of their attention is whether the tea is good or not.
"I don't drink tea, and I don't know which is good and which is not good." Hua Liuli said, "Why don't the waiter here change a new tea for a few girls?"
"No matter how good the tea is in this kind of place, the county owner doesn't need to bother." The little girl sitting next to Jiamin looked very pleasant. Hua Liuli remembered that she was the daughter of the Tian family and Tian Ruidong's sister.
Miss Tian put the teacup back on the table and looked at Hua Liuli curiously: "The county master grew up in the border pass, can you tell us about the scenery of the border pass, is it like the desert and the lonely smoke as written in the poem?"
Hua Liuli shook her head: "Qinghanzhou has steep terrain, high mountains and steep roads. Every summer, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants. When you go out at night in summer, you will be bitten all over your head by mosquitoes."
"It's so scary?" The girls all grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, and it was completely unimaginable that the living environment could be so bad.
"However, this also has an advantage, that is, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The local people are sturdy, and sometimes the enemy will attack, and adult men will patrol the city spontaneously. With their help, we have captured the Jinpo Guo faction several times. Here comes the spies." Hua Liuli sighed, "However, due to the inconvenience of local transportation, bad weather, and frequent wars, the merchants in Dajin did not like to do business with the local people, so the life of the local people was not very good for a long time. ."
Taking over, the little girl held her breath and listened very seriously. They wanted Hua Liuli to continue talking.
"Later, my father led the army to destroy the bandits who were blocking the road. Gradually, merchants came to trade. In recent years, life has been much better." Hua Liuli noticed that the piano master played several wrong notes, she turned her head and looked at it with a smile, not a smile. Qin Shi, "Is the Qin teacher also interested in the story of the border?"
"I was fascinated at the next moment, please forgive me." The piano master got up and walked in front of Hua Liuli, and saluted her.
He was wearing a loose white robe, and when he bent over to salute, his collarbone was faintly exposed.
"I heard that eleven years ago, there was a natural disaster in Qinghan Prefecture, and several fortresses leading to Qinghan Prefecture were blocked by falling mountains." Jiamin still remembers this incident because her father Yao Concubine personally As an official escorting food and salaries, he was idle on weekdays. After returning from Qinghan Province, he was bored for nearly half a month, and he saved a lot of money.
"I was only four years old at the time, and I can't remember many things clearly." Hua Liuli shook her head, "I'm here to listen to music today, what's the point of talking about it?"
She turned her head and saw that the violinist was still standing in front of her, and waved, "Linner, keep playing."
The piano master glanced at Hua Liuli and walked back to his original position silently.
A few people were eating melon and fruit snacks and staring at the piano master for half an hour, all feeling a little bored. But the two county masters didn't say anything, so they could only keep listening.
"Master, what's your name?"
"I committed a crime in the ancestors, and all three generations were slaves and had no surnames." The qin master took the opportunity to stop playing, and if he played it again, his fingers couldn't stand it: "People in the workshop call Xia Yunhan. ."
"Yunhan..." Hua Liuli pondered for a moment and looked at the piano teacher thoughtfully.
The qin master slowly raised his head, and his beautiful eyes met Hua Liuli's gaze.
"This name sounds a bit cold." Hua Liuli thought about it for a long time, and finally expressed her inner feelings.
The smile on the piano teacher's face froze slightly: "Your honored guest is right, I also feel that the word cold is not good."
Jiamin was very doubtful whether Hua Liuli would make the beauty happy, why did she choke her so much? It's ridiculous to come out and grab beauty from her like this.
"No, what I mean is that this name is like a piano master, like the white clouds that are not stained with fine dust in the sky. Although the height is extremely cold, it is very noble." Hua Liuli got up and walked in front of the piano master, reaching out and playing the piano a few times. Xian, her movements are very casual, but with a bit of free and easy taste, "The piano master has outstanding piano skills and is so stunning, so there is no need to belittle yourself."
She approached the violinist slightly, and just when the girls thought she would do something to the violinist, she suddenly stood up straight, took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth with a light cough: "I'm sorry, I'm not in good health, so I can't stay outside for long. Wait, the violinist will also go back to the room to rest earlier."
Yu Rong stepped forward to support Hua Liuli's arm, and Iris put a bag of pearls in the hands of the violin master: "My master's time to go out is uncertain, so the young master will not go out to entertain guests in recent days, lest it be inconvenient when the master wants to see you."
The pianist took the pearl, placed it on the table casually, and bowed to Hualiu Li: "I'll wait here for the distinguished guests."
His salute is very elegant, like a fairy who can't be reduced to the mortal world, which makes people want to keep him in the mortal world, but also want him to continue to be a high-level fairy.
If it was an ordinary woman, she would have been impressed by such a graceful appearance.
But the few people present are different. They have seen the fifth prince who is extremely elegant in his words and deeds, and a man in the market like Yun Han can only make them look twice, far from being amazing.
Hearing that Hua Liuli was leaving, Jiamin quickly stood up: "There is still something in the house, so I should go too."
If you don't leave, do you still want to stay here and grab a man with Hua Liuli
The group left Jinling Garden, and before Jiamin could breathe out, she met Du Xiuying across the street.
Although Du Xiuying's eyes were very calm, Jiamin was sure that there was anger hidden under the other's calm expression.
"Miss Du." Hua Liuli found Du Xiuying and waved to her with a smile: "What a coincidence."
Du Xiuying nodded at Hua Liuli with a smile, walked across the street to them, and blessedly said, "The Lord of Fushou County is safe."
"Miss Du doesn't need to be so polite." Hua Liuli stretched out her hand to help Du Xiuying, who had a faint scent of calligraphy and ink on her body, which was very nice.
"The ceremony must not be abandoned." Du Xiuying turned to meet the other girls and looked at Jiamin.
The sound of music and laughter could be heard from Jin Lingyuan behind them from time to time, which seemed to be quieter between them.
"Is it fun inside?" Du Xiuying looked at Jiamin blankly.
Jiamin shook her head: "It doesn't make any sense."
"If you like to go, I can't control you." Du Xiuying turned her head and glanced at Hua Liuli, "Fu Shou County is weak and smaller than you. You can't invite her to play in this kind of place in the future."
"What does this have to do with me?" Jiamin snorted, "With her legs growing on her, I can still manage her?" Isn't she too long for life
"Miss Du, this matter has nothing to do with Princess Jiamin, I came here on my own initiative." Hua Liuli whispered.
"I know." Du Xiuying didn't take Hua Liuli's words seriously, Jiamin was a bad-tempered child, and Fushou County Master said these words just to help Jiamin.
If Jiamin hadn't brought Fushou County Master here, how could she have found such a place of pleasure
Thinking of this, Du Xiuying gave Jiamin a warning look, asking her to make less trouble.
Jiamin: "… "
She used to be a bit of a jerk when she talked and did things, but that doesn't mean she took the lead in doing all the bad things, right? Now, in this world, is it still unreasonable
But she didn't bother to argue with her cousin Du Xiuying, because from childhood to adulthood, this cousin was full of nonsense, and she had a headache when she heard it.
Miss Tian and another girl saw that the situation was not right, so they found an excuse to get on their own carriage and slipped away, because they were also very afraid of Du Xiuying.
Jiamin watched the two little sisters hurry away, doubting their fragile friendship again.
It is said that good friends walk together all their lives, and don’t look back when they run away when they are killed
"Let's go, go home." There were people coming and going on the street, Du Xiuying didn't say anything else, and pulled Jiamin into her carriage to prevent her from running around again.
"The county master." Before getting into the carriage, Du Xiuying said to Hua Liuli, "Go back to the residence early, it's getting dark."
"Okay, Miss Du." Hua Liuli smiled cutely.
When Du Xiuying looked at her cousin, she was so obedient that she had an inexplicable feeling that "sister is better than someone else's".
"Cousin, I really didn't bring her here. She was already inside when I came."
"Edit, continue to edit, why don't you say, she still robs you of a man?"
"Yes, she is just robbing me."
"Heh." Du Xiuying laughed angrily, "Jiamin, I don't swear, don't make me make an exception."
Jiamin: "… "
The thing she regrets most in her life is to provoke Hua Liuli. Since provoking her, she has never had a happy life.
They are a natural incompatible.
Watching Du Xiuying's carriage go away, Hua Liuli smiled, "Little girls in the capital are all fun."
"Master, what do you think of that piano player?" Iris asked in a low voice.
"The demeanor is not as good as the fifth prince, and the appearance is not as good as the crown prince." Hua Liuli shook her head and sighed, "I am used to seeing the beauty of the world, and when I look at other people, I will become a vulgar fan."
"Calm down, it's impossible for these princes, Longsun, to be your face." Iris reminded her master honestly.
"You're right, but there's a problem with being a human being. It's easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it's difficult to switch from luxury to frugality." Hua Liuli was a little bit interested in the violinist, "If the prince is not so good-looking, then I won't. So picky."
"Fu Shou County Lord?"
Hua Liuli frowned, she just admired the prince, why did she have hallucinations
The prince saw Hua Liuli standing at the entrance of Lefang: "Why are you here?" He got off the horse and glanced at the plaque hanging at the main entrance of Lefang, thinking that she just happened to pass by.
"I heard that there is a violinist with outstanding piano skills, so come and have a look." In front of the prince, Hua Liuli did not hide her intentions.
"Qin master?" The prince smelled a different scent of incense on Hua Liuli's body, as well as some pungent incense powder, which must have been accidentally infected on other people.
"The county master... Still have such a hobby?" The prince knew that some noble ladies in the capital had a hobby of raising their faces, but Hua Liuli really didn't look like such a person.
Did someone else bring her down
"Just curious." Hua Liuli didn't take things to heart, "Why is the prince here so late?"
"The only person who led the royal family to go out and preached the decree." The prince said, "The men and women in this place are not very clean, the smell of incense is strong, and it is not good for the health of the county master. The county master will rarely come to this kind of place in the future."
Hua Liuli was thoughtful, what the prince meant was, looking for an innocent civilian man
She raised her head to look at the prince and nodded slowly: "Your Highness, I understand what you mean."
Looking at Hua Liuli's thoughtful expression, the prince felt that she didn't understand at all. No matter how he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable. After sending Hua Liuli back to the mansion, he still felt that his heart was blocked.
"Your Majesty, in which empress' palace are you going to rest tonight?" Zhao Sancai asked in a low voice. His Majesty has not been in the harem for five days. Several empresses in the palace have come to him to inquire about him. He is a rootless eunuch, how can he know His Majesty's thoughts
"I remember that Concubine Lin's brother seems to have returned to Beijing?" Emperor Changlong asked Zhao Sancai.
"Your Majesty, are you talking about Lin Zhou, the prefect of Yongzhou?"
"It is this man."
"Your Majesty, Lord Lin Zhoulin has been transferred back to the capital, but there is no suitable vacancy in the capital, so I am temporarily idle at home."
"Then I'll go to Concubine Lin tonight. I just happened to tell her about arranging Lin Zhou."
Emperor Changlong was about to go to Concubine Lin, the biological mother of the fourth prince, when the eunuch came to report that the prince wanted to see him. He stopped and asked the palace attendant to welcome the prince in.
"Come to me so late, did something happen again?" Emperor Changlong saw that the prince was in a hurry, so he let the prince sit down and talk.
"Royal father, when my son returned to the palace today, he found that some entertainment venues were brightly lit and the sound of silk and bamboo continued, and I felt something was wrong." The prince said with a worried face, "Under your control, Dajin has become more and more The more prosperous and prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are prosperous. However, with the improvement of living standards, the people are more and more addicted to pleasures, and the sensual places are singing every night, which is not conducive to the long-term stability and prosperity of our Dajin.”
"Of course, proper entertainment is a must." The Crown Prince saw Emperor Changlong's contemplation and added, "The envoys from various countries will arrive in our Dajin soon. If the envoys misunderstand us, the people of Dajin will only be addicted. Wouldn’t it be detrimental to my face to have fun? Why don’t we take advantage of the current time to investigate these venues to find out if there are any phenomena such as forcibly selling women and children, officials lingering in fireworks venues, beating and killing slaves in the workshops, secret prostitutes, etc. , and let them manage the business?"
"You are right." Emperor Changlong nodded after pondering for a moment, "You will arrange for someone to handle this matter tomorrow." The past few years in Dajin have been smooth, and it is a good thing for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, but too much indulgence in enjoyment also makes the future full of hidden dangers.
At any time, the sense of crisis and the spirit of hard work cannot be lost.
Da da da.
Countless pearls fell to the ground, making a crisp sound on the ground.
Yun Han ignored the pearls bouncing and tumbling on the ground, walked to stand in front of the large bronze mirror, reached out and stroked his cheek lightly, and asked the servant beside him, "Is this young master not good-looking?"
"Your son's appearance is unparalleled in the world, and no one in the world can match." The little servant held the tray high, not daring to look up at Yun Han.
In the tray is an empty kit with a few pearls scattered around.
Yun Han waved his hand and knocked over the tray, his face was very ugly. Since he appeared in Jinlingyuan, it has attracted countless women crazy. A few days ago, two county magistrates turned against him for him.
But today that woman saw his reaction, it was simply a great shame for him.
"Send someone to ask, what are Hua Liuli and Yao Jiamin's hobbies on weekdays." The anger on Yun Han's face gradually dissipated, he picked up the kit in the tray and played with it, "Women like sweet words and vows, I want them to help Regret for today's actions."
"Sir, what the lord means is to let you get close to Princess Jiamin, why do you..."
"What do you know?" Yun Han interrupted the little servant and sneered, "Human nature is cheap, if someone finds out that the person who was originally pursuing them suddenly falls in love with another woman, their feelings will become stronger."
"I don't understand." The servant's shoulders trembled slightly, he was afraid.
"Of course you won't understand." Yun Han's eyes were as cold as snow in the twelfth moon, "Woman..."
"Heh." The cold eyes were filled with ridicule, "For love, they can give up everything."
"Master, Hua Liuli didn't let you receive other people before she left, which means that you are already a little special to her. Maybe it's because there are other people present that you are pretending to be indifferent." The servant said, "I believe you. "
"Good slave." Yun Han patted the little servant's head, and the little servant looked up at him, revealing his neck without an Adam's apple.
The prince had a dream that he had a white cat. The cat was very beautiful, and even the meow was sweeter than other cats.
It's just that this cat is very naughty. He went to pick flowers today and pick fruits tomorrow, and was almost taken away.
The prince scolded the person who wanted to take away his cat, but he was still not relieved, and returned to the palace to make an exquisite cage for the kitten.
The kitten was lying in the cage looking at him with wide eyes, meowing, very pitiful.
The prince's heart softened all of a sudden, he wanted to hold the kitten in his arms and comb it's fur.
"Who made you mess with flowers?"
The kitten stared at him with innocent big eyes.
"Will you run with other people?"
The kitten tilted its fluffy head and scratched the cage with its paws.
"Alas." Although the kitten didn't promise anything, the prince opened the cage unprincipled and let the cat out.
Looking at the kitten strutting in front of him, the prince picked up the kitten and kissed its ears: "You are a lonely cat."
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
The prince opened his eyes and saw the eunuch kneeling beside the bed with a concerned expression: "Are you dreaming?"
"Nothing." The prince sat up, "Gu just dreamed that someone came to rob Gu's cat."
The little eunuch looked blank, cat
what cat
There are no cats in the East Palace.
"Change clothes for the lonely."
"His Royal Highness, it's still early, you should sleep for a while."
"No, I have something to do today."
As soon as the sun came out, the steward of Jin Lingyuan heard a loud noise from downstairs. She was a little unhappy and opened the door and walked to the aisle: "What's the noise, I haven't opened the door to welcome guests yet."
When she saw that most of the people standing downstairs were wearing Dali Temple official robes and official robes, she was shocked, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and trotted downstairs: "Mr. Officials, what's the matter?"
"To create a beautiful capital together is everyone's responsibility." The yacha handed a notice to the steward, "Recently, the yamen has received many anonymous reports, saying that some music houses are selling people privately and mistreating slaves. The incident, Jingzhao House and Dali Temple will be strictly investigated. Once found, they will be severely punished."
"Master, we are a serious music workshop here. The musicians and dancers in the workshop are serious people who are not showing off their stature. How dare they do something illegal and chaotic." The steward glanced at the notice, and the content inside made her heart skip a beat. " Lords, please be careful."
She hurriedly took out a stack of silver notes from her sleeve and stuffed it into the yachai's hand: "You officials haven't had breakfast yet, please have some morning tea..."
"Don't be nervous, we're just doing a thorough investigation according to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty. If there is no illegal behavior in your house, I won't be embarrassed." The yacha didn't even look at the banknotes, his expression was serious.
"Check it out."
The low and pleasant male voice reached the steward's ears. She followed the sound and saw a handsome man with a long body and an extraordinary appearance standing at the door.
Did not expect that there are more beautiful men than Yun Han in the world? !
Even though she was used to seeing all kinds of young men and beauties, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
