Daming Grocer

In, directly followed Jin Yiwei into the palace.Watching the pedestrians drifting away, she stood at the door of Mu Mansion and let out a long sigh.The difference between cloud and mud cannot be erased by blurring the boundary for a while. Even if he is caught in a predicament, this person is still a relative of the emperor.

Seeing her sighing, Tang Dao also sighed: "I haven't seen you for two years. Our master is married to Princess Changning... Uh, I should be called a princess now, but I haven't officially canonized yet. Uh, let's call it Your Highness. My master Not only did His Royal Highness not send congratulatory congratulations, but he also did not send congratulatory gifts. Now, he has sent Jin Yiwei all the way from Yingtian Mansion to Changde Mansion to welcome our master into the palace. Do you understand what happened between our master and His Highness?"

Tang Jian ignored him at all, and just made a courteous gesture to Qijian: "Mr. Shen please first, the master has orders, the person you want to see is in the west wing, just let you go directly."

Qijian's slightly confused thoughts suddenly tightened up, yes, she came here to meet her birth mother, now... maybe there is a real feeling of nostalgia, let alone home, where there is a mother, and now, she wants to Really went home.

Mu Haitang met her long-lost old friend in the Hall of Spring Harmony, and was forcibly brought here with her body in the dust. Should she act flattered or something?The maid helped her remove the cloak, and she stood for a while before bowing to the person whose back was turned to her and kneeling: "Minister, Mu Haitang..." "No need to kneel. Yiqiu, come and be safe." Hu Lan Tongxiu The woman in the golden silk dragon shirt looked back and smiled, making one feel like a spring breeze blowing on the face.Mu Haitang straightened her slightly bent legs, looked at the person in front of her with neither joy nor anger, and finally sneered: "Should Haitang call you Your Highness or Aunt now."

The palace maids had already stepped back, and the person being questioned always smiled gently at her disrespectful words, and this time he stepped forward to caress her cheek: "Yiqiu is still a child. You are tired from this journey, go take a bath Rest, let's talk in detail after dinner." I couldn't refuse, I wanted to continue to sway, but it was really long time no see, and I missed it very much.Forget it, just stay.

When Qijian really saw her mother, she couldn't say a word. She thought it would be strange or awkward, after all, she had never seen her before, but when her mother said, "My son, ah," she immediately knelt down and fell on the ground. The mother sobbed and cried in her arms.The two mothers and daughters hugged each other and cried for a long time, and finally calmed down after being exhausted.Qijian stared blankly at her mother, who caressed her forehead and wanted to cry: "You look so much like your father when he was young. My son, I have suffered so much... "

She didn't eat dinner, and Qijian kept talking with her mother in the room, and she also understood that the princess had greeted her a long time ago, and made her mother recognize her "son" and not her daughter with both kindness and power.Shen Liu always wanted to know the hardships her daughter had suffered in these years, and Qijian also wanted to know the hardships her mother had suffered in these years. After talking about this, he talked about his father, and from his father he talked about the Shen family members.When the voice became hoarse, it was almost midnight.

Waiting for his mother to fall asleep, when Qijian came out, he saw guards patrolling the courtyard, so he asked casually: "Is the princess back to the mansion?" The guard was stunned for a moment before returning: "Mr. I won’t be able to come back within three to five days.” Qijian snorted, and wanted to ask the Princess Changning about her relationship with Princess Changning, but it was wrong to think about it, don’t say this, she shouldn’t ask, even if she asked Now, how much do these guards know?

When the guards changed shifts at midnight, she also ate some food and wine.Tang Jian also came to the guard house at this time, and seeing Qijian was there, he went to sit down.A subordinate poured him a glass of wine, and then everyone at that table moved to the next table.

Qijian understood that Tang Jian would not come here for no reason, so he didn't ask any questions, and waited for him to speak.Sure enough, after drinking two cups in a row, Tang Jian raised his glass to Qijian: "Mr. Shen, there is a saying that Tang doesn't know whether to say it or not." , must be worth listening to." Qijian clinked a glass with him, drained the wine in one gulp, quite proudly.

Seeing her like this, Tang Jian stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "Princess, I like your talent and think you can achieve great things. She needs you to achieve this great thing. I have been kind to you all the way. From your mother to She has personally done everything about the Shen family, not to mention caring for you all the way, we brothers are envious of seeing it. But Mr. Shen, no matter how well the princess treats you, you must always see the bottom line clearly Don't overdo it, that is, she is the master, you are the servant, she is the king, and you are the minister. The princess is sincerely treating you well, and sometimes it may be so good that outsiders will gossip, but you must keep that in your heart Don’t step over this line in a daze. People who live by the bottom line of friendship between monarch and minister, master and servant are smart people, what do you think, Mr. Shen.”

Qijian instantly understood what he really wanted to say, and laughed twice.What this person means is that no matter how ambiguous the princess's friendship is, as a slave, don't take yourself too seriously. No matter how good she is to you, it is because you are useful to her.If you misunderstand and come up with other meanings, it is desecrating the Lord, and even more so, you are seeking your own death.

After laughing, he was silent again.Along the way, Chen Ji'an broke her childish bones, making her dare not give affection easily, so she cherished the affection offered by others even more. How can you have thoughts that you shouldn't have for others.

What's more, I realized that night that what the Tang guard said was the truth, no matter how good the princess was to you, it was only for one purpose, to let you clearly understand that you belonged to her, just like the princess in her hand She is just like a plaything, she must be devoted to her.Nothing else means anything.Qijian thinks he looks good. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Princess Huayue is cold-hearted and deep-minded.

[-] times

At that time, Xue Xiang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the Hongwu Dynasty, was executed by the imperial staff for the Hu Weiyong case. He was the No. 1 imperial staff for the Ming Dynasty and all dynasties.After he left, the four sons were assigned to Qiongshan.Because he was a clean and honest official when he was in power, he did a lot of practical things for the people, so after his death, many people complained about him.

In the 15th year of Hongwu, a friend of Xue's family brought a baby boy back to Jinling from other places, and named him Xue Shi.It was widely rumored that this baby boy was the grandson of Xue Xiang, and his whole family was under military registration. In order to avoid future generations from being implicated by this household registration, they risked sending the child out in the end.

Xue Shi was good at crafts since he was a child, and liked to conceive all kinds of exquisite objects. In the second year of Jianwen, he designed a new type of loom, which benefited cotton farmers and silkworm farmers, and became famous in Jinling City overnight.When Qijian inquired about this person, she had a premonition that this person should be the person she was looking for in this line of work.

The princess has been in the palace for three days, and she doesn't know when she will return home. After thinking about it, Qijian finally decides to go to Xue's house alone.Now Xue Shi is a father, has his own family, and lives near the Bell and Drum Tower in the west of the city.Just after breakfast with Mother and Mu Yu, Qijian explained her intention to go out, and the two women asked her to bring an umbrella and wear a raincoat with great concern, saying that judging by the weather, there must be someone rainy.

Qijian responded one by one, and she respected and loved her mother and Mu Yu's family.Needless to say, the mother herself, of course the mother must be respected and loved, it is natural.Speaking of Mu Yu's family, even though she is the mother of the princess and was once a member of the Yu family, for some reason they get along without any strangeness, Qijian thinks that Mu Yu's family is probably as kind as his mother.Now she changed her tune and called her Auntie.

Walking all the way, we first arrived at the Qinhuai River, and the ten-mile Qinhuai River was really crowded with merchants, and it was very lively.There are row upon row of buildings on both sides of the strait, the poems and songs of literati and refined scholars, and the rhyme of businessmen.When passing through Bird Clothes Lane, it is as if you can see the women singing and dancing in the brothel when the lights are just coming up, and you can hear the sound of oars hitting the water on the painting boats parked in the river.All of these make Qijian intoxicated.In a prosperous and prosperous age, it should be like the scenery of Jinling.

When we arrived at Sangzi Lane of the Bell and Drum Tower, Qijian inquired all the way, and finally arrived in front of Xue's house.The courtyard is slightly small, but it looks cozy.Although the courtyard door was open, Qijian still pinched the knocker and buckled it: "Is anyone home?" As soon as the words fell, a cloud of sawdust flew towards her, which made her dumbfounded and unprepared, and was just like that sprinkled into a sawdust figure.

"What are you doing with these useless things all day long! You are asked to make a dowry for Mrs. Zhang Yuan's family, and you haven't started the work until today! If you are an idiot, how can our mother live!" A woman hugged A three-year-old boy sat on the threshold and cried, and a young man stood in a daze at the door.Obviously, it was the woman who threw the sawdust just now.

Fortunately, sawdust was thrown instead of wooden sticks. Qijian wiped the sawdust on his face speechlessly, and went forward to salute: "Ma'am, is this brother Xue Shixue's house?" The woman looked up, and then Realizing that he was in trouble just now, he stood up and pulled Qijian with an ah: "Brother, just now, this..." "It's not in the way, I don't know..." "Xue Shi, who are you?" The man in the door Clasping hands and saluting, Qijian looked very strange.

When guests come to the house, what should be done or what should be done.The woman made tea and asked the man and Qijian to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard and talk, while she carried the child into the back room.

Qijian didn't beat around the bush, he just explained his intentions.When Xue Shi heard that she was going to mine salt, he immediately slapped his legs: "Mr. Shen, is he telling the truth?" He was so excited to hear that she was going to open a mine. "I, Xue Shi, can be counted as waiting for Bole! My son, listen to me. Over the years, Xue has always felt that the imperial court was too negative about mining. Except for the gold and silver mines, the others are really regrettable. You see, copper, iron, Lead is very useful. Ordinary businessmen would not dare to do it because of the trouble, Mr. Shen really..."

Qijian hurriedly asked him to stop, what an idiot.but
