Daming Grocer

Scholars.Seeing that he also sat down, Qi Jian was about to stand up, when he heard him say: "Master, do you like my paintings?" As soon as the man opened his mouth, Qi Jian was stunned, and after a closer look, it was indeed a woman, the sky was dark just now See clearly.

Puzzled, she answered: "Your painting?" "Exactly. The folding fan in the young master's hand is exactly what Hongjian painted." After she finished speaking, she smiled and went to pick up Qijian's fan, and Qijian shrank his hand. Come on, don't let her succeed.The folding fan in his hand was given by the princess, and the Qinhuai River scenery is on the fan, but it is not known who made it.A woman said that this painting was drawn by her.I really don't believe it.The other party saw that Qijian didn't believe it at all, so he said, "My father is the Imperial Academy at the foot of Jilong Mountain. You have never heard of me, Shu Hongjian?"

Seeing her asking innocently, Qi Jian could only groan in embarrassment: "Probably I'm ignorant and ignorant of culture and elegance. This fan is a good friend..." "No! No, no, you are holding the fan I drew, but you don't know My name, Tang Zhai Shu Hongjian, is strange, very strange." She was talking to herself, while holding Qi Jian's hand to prevent her from escaping.

"I thought you were doing something for not coming back so late, so that's the case. It seems that I came by mistake." The princess's voice sounded from behind, and Qijian hurriedly turned around.In the night, the princess is dressed in a black and purple brocade robe and looks free and unrestrained, such a majestic tree facing the wind, if you see it for the first time, you will definitely think it is a heroic man.It was only after seeing the person clearly that he saw the displeasure on that face, and for some reason, he suddenly felt that his appearance was really wrong at this time, so he quickly pulled his hand back.He got up and walked to the princess, smiling honestly.

Mu Haitang glanced at her, and then asked: "Do you know Shu Hongjian?" It's something." After Qijian answered, she cast her eyes into the distance, and Mu Haitang stared at her for a long time, seeing that she always had a clear conscience, she stopped talking.

"Master Shu's daughter is so interested in taking a night tour of the Qinhuai River?" After a while, the princess said as she walked down.Then Shu Hongjian looked at her carefully, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Do you know me? Why don't I know you? How dare I ask your Excellency..." "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I know you are Tang The young lady of the Shu family who can speak four languages. Needless to say the official language of this dynasty, Turkic, Fusang, and Korean. Am I wrong?" After Mu Haitang finished speaking, Shu Hongjian said, her painting sold It was true that she was doing well, but it was the first time anyone knew her so well.

It turned out to be a talented woman.Qijian felt respectful at the moment, seeing that the princess and Miss Shu were chatting excitedly, she didn't want to disturb her, so she walked slowly along the river bank.After walking for a while, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance again without knowing it.At some point, there was a sudden warmth behind her that brought her back to her senses, and when she looked back, it was Qingzhu who added a cloak to her.

Seeing her come back to her senses, Qingzhu smiled and looked not far away and said: "The princess said that it is a little cooler at night, so you don't want to stand here for a long time. Is Mr. Shen willing to go back to the house at this time?" Qi Jian saw the princess standing alone On the stone steps, Mrs. Shu had disappeared. Only then did I realize that I was really ashamed to let the princess wait for me standing here for a long time, so I nodded in agreement: "I see the same thing, go back."

On the carriage, the princess seemed a little sleepy, sitting there lazily, not as neatly as usual.Qijian also bowed his head and remained silent, only the sound of horseshoes and wheels outside could be heard inside the car.

"Women in the world are mostly talented, unfortunately. For example, this Shu Hongjian, can you see what's wrong?" The princess spoke suddenly, and Qijian raised her head in drowsiness. He also said: "It seems wrong for her to visit Qinhuai at night as a lady from an official family? There are three schools and nine streams in this area. It is said that people like her should be afraid of avoiding them."

"You are really good at knowing people. As you can imagine, her abnormality is because she is crazy. When she was 17 years old, she married Hong Mengjie, a talented Jiangnan scholar, and was taken back to Jinling by her mother's family half a year later. The reason is unknown. Shu Mansion It was rumored by her subordinates that after returning home, she talked wildly all day long, laughing and crying at times, Master Shu invited famous doctors from all over the world, but she couldn’t get well. But more than a year ago, she suddenly recovered, not only improved, but also consigned in Tang Zhai Calligraphy and painting, calligraphy and painting works are all high-quality, and scholars and ladies are eager to collect them, making her famous in Jinling for a while.

There are envoys sent by various small countries in the Imperial College to learn our Ming culture, and to Mr. Shu's surprise, his daughter can speak an authentic foreign dialect after only dealing with those envoys for a few months.From then on, this Shu Hongjian haunted Guozijian and Tangzhai. Everyone went crazy because of her talent and knew her emotions from time to time, and they were not surprised by what she did.Mr. Shu loves his daughter very much, so he let it go.It was rumored that she often came to Qinhuai River to sit for a long time at night, and she didn't know what she was looking at.Seeing her today, it seems that she is indeed crazy and talented. "

After the princess finished speaking, Qingzhu handed her tea to moisten her throat.Qijian thought about these words for a long time, and finally sighed heavily, but said nothing.He could vaguely guess why Shu Hongjian was like this.It was because of guessing that he remained silent.

On the second day, Qijian took people to see the shop, while Qingzhu was planning how much fabric for the new clothes to be made this time.Now that all the money in the mansion comes from Qijian, she has some complaints in her heart.For example, in the matter of making clothes, how many pieces should the sheriff make on the list for her to see?Isn't this upside down?

She was sullen, and the princess stopped and asked when she passed by: "Who provoked you?" Qingzhu pursed her lips slightly and handed over the list when she heard this: "Princess, all these things have to go through her hands What?" Mu Haitang took the list and looked it over, pointing to Qijian's name and said: "Add a few more clothes for her, I don't need so many, I can subtract two, and everything else is as you wrote. You don’t need to disturb her with these chores, just go and do them.” Qingzhu completely disagreed with this statement: “How can this be done, Princess, she…” “She deals with people outside all day, so she must be more decent. " A word blocked back, Qingzhu backed away after oh.

As soon as Qingzhu left, Tang Jian came over to report the matter. Two things, one is that Boss Jin of the Yunnan Mansion did encounter difficulties, and he couldn't get the mining permit and Yanyin.Second, Young Master Yu's family is outside the house now.

After Mu Haitang listened, she glanced at Tang Jian: "Have you found out who he walked with in Jinling recently?" Tang Jian slightly stiffened his body and replied: "I haven't found out yet." "Continue to investigate, the person behind him is the one." Shen Shouxin and I are real opponents." After giving the order, he made another gesture to let him in.Now that he's here, if she doesn't let him in, her mother will blame him if she finds out, so she simply lets him in, and sent someone to inform her mother.

The servants led by Qijian could only support the appearance but not the scene. She and the landlord had a chat in the restaurant for three rounds.Qijian felt uncomfortable after being vomited by him, but he had to continue talking. The storehouse here is to be the turnover center of all future firms. The area is not small, and there are not many suitable ones.

While we were having a hard time talking, I suddenly heard someone ringing a bell to tell their fortune, and went to the restaurant.The restaurant staff didn't chase these people away, because most of these people were very talkative, saying that it was common to enjoy wine and vegetables when the guests were happy.And if these people are driven away, they will stand at the door and talk nonsense, and those who believe in Feng Shui will really stop coming.

The owner's surname is Sun, and he donated a member of staff in the early years.He might have lost interest in talking about this meeting, so he casually recruited the fortune teller: "Come and do a fortune teller for the master. If it is accurate, the master will reward you well." Seeing that the fortune teller was about 25-[-] years old, Qi Jian frowned. He has a bushy beard, bright eyes, and a Taoist robe that he wears quite elegantly.I saw the fortune teller stepped forward to look carefully at Sun Yuanwaizi, then took a step back and exclaimed: "Master, forgive me for not being able to do this divination for you, I will take a step first." "Hey, you broken Taoist What do you mean?" When Sun Yuanwai said this, Qijian saw the fortune teller wink at her first, understood immediately, and stepped forward to persuade her.

But at the time of the two sticks of incense, Sun Yuanwai was very grateful to the Taoist priest, and immediately asked Qijian to draw up a contract, which he signed immediately.The rent above was lower than what Qijian had previously negotiated.

As soon as Sun Yuanwai left, Qijian immediately asked the staff to change into the wing room, and when he entered the wing room with the Taoist priest, Qijian immediately saluted: "I am fortunate to have the help of the Taoist priest today..." Look at the reward." The Taoist weighed the silver in his hand, and then bowed his hands to Qijian: "I am in Jinling Liangdaoyuan, and I know that grandson very well, but he doesn't know me. Eat food to support those beggars outside the Sanqing Temple. It makes the young master laugh."

Qijian waved his hands and said: "Walking in the rivers and lakes, it is not necessary to examine everything with the dignity of a gentleman, and the Taoist priest is also compassionate. I appreciate the Taoist priest. Shen Shouxin is in Kunming, and he is doing business in Jinling. I don't know if the Taoist priest is interested in helping Me?" Qijian vaguely sensed that this person was the one who could help him go to Kunming to get the mining license and Yanyin, so the conversation suddenly became lively.

The two were talking about getting up, when someone knocked on the door and came in. The person who came was Tang Dao, who said with a gloomy face that she should go back quickly.Looking at this posture, Qijian knew that something happened to the princess, and the only ones who could make the princess have an accident were the Yu family.After a little thought, he asked Liang Daoyuan if he would go with her. Liang Daoyuan handed the silver taels to Tang Dao almost without thinking: "Then trouble this strong man to take these silver taels to Sanqing Guanwai to those beggars, and tell them , saying that I, Taoist Liang, will travel far away in the near future, so let them be careful."

When he returned to the mansion, he didn't see the Yu family, so he went to Qingzhu to ask the reason, Qingzhu also had a serious face, and returned after a long time: "Then the son of the Yu family came to the mansion, but he didn't kneel when he saw the old lady, and then he used his The grandfather was dying and let the princess go back to Kunming with him. The old lady was the daughter of the old man of the Yu family
