Chapter 106 Li Shilinang
Jinchengfang is located in the west of Chang'an City, which belongs to Chang'an County. There are many Hu'er in the west of Chang'an City. Jinchengfang is no exception, but there are also many Chinese merchants who buy property here.
At dusk, a carriage parked in front of the side door of a house in the workshop. The driver took the lead in jumping out of the car, looked around, and raised his hand. The man who was also sitting on the driveway with caution knocked on the side door. The person behind the door obviously had been waiting for a long time. After the agreed knock on the door sounded, it almost couldn't wait to open. Although the door is a side door, but it is a big house, and the carriage still passes calmly.
After passing three doors along the bluestone paved road, he stopped outside a hanging flower door. The middle-aged man who acted as a driver breathed a sigh of relief, got out of the car and punched the car and said, "Madam, you can come down!"
"Can Wang San's group get rid of them?" Hearing this, the curtain moved. First, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl dressed in women's clothing came down, wearing a double bun, a green cross-neck narrow-sleeved short shirt, a goose yellow chest skirt, a pair of silver jump off her wrists, big eyes and round face, and she was very cute. After getting out of the car, she did not wait to help her girl, but asked with a smile. The middle-aged man said, "There are the eyes of the He family in there. I don't think I know. The wife doesn't want to ask He Liu to find out our movements everywhere!"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang Sanlang got off thousands of miles of incense in his wife's carriage and was ready to investigate later. The carriage had been dealt with, and he also sprinkled a little on the carriages of other doors that entered the city at that time. They must be busy tonight."
When he spoke, a slightly older girl came down from the carriage. The girl's handsome eyes and eyebrows were trimming, a slightly plump pretty face, with a little a little arrogance. She was extremely beautiful and slender. Even if the wide-sleeved brocade robe outside the indinocerated peony play butterfly was deliberately wide, it was difficult to hide. Cover.
Seeing this girl, the middle-aged man was even more respectful and said, "My wife has worked hard all the way. I have prepared new clothes with fragrant soup, but I don't know what my wife likes. The choices are the styles and colors that Chang'an ladies like now. If you have any preferences, just tell me!"
"Anyone of these." Li Shilinang's voice sounded very crisp, but she was a little lazy and her movements were always much slower. She lazily got out of the carriage, looked around lazily, and asked, "Where do we live?"
"Just behind this door, there is a rockery and a lotus pond, so the carriage can't get in." The middle-aged man obviously had some understanding of her habits. First, he explained why he didn't let the carriage drive all the way to the downstairs where she lived, and then led her in in person. First, the people inside and outside the side door also followed silently. The group turned around the hanging flower arch, which was indeed a quiet small garden. Several Taihu stones surrounded a small but not The small flower pond is now the time when the lotus leaves are beautiful. Sometimes there are dragonflies, and a pavilion is built on the opposite shore, surrounded by water on three sides. Through the pool water, you can see a group of koi scattered in the pool. When you see the shadows, they chase them one after another and try to ask for food.
Hechi was opposite a small building. Li Shilniang was introduced into the building and smelled a foreign fragrance on her face, but she saw that the furnishings in the small building were gorgeous and the utensils were obviously new, but four brown-haired and green-eyed Hu Ji with enchanting bodies stood under the hall. Seeing Li Shiniang being brought in, one after another Crossed his hands, bent down, and greeted with standard Chang'an official words: "My wife is well-being!"
"Are they the maids you are looking for?" Although there are not as many Hu people in Hebei as Chang'an, Li Shilenang is the beloved daughter of Youzhou, but she has never seen her. She just glanced at it casually and became clear.
These four Hu Ji are all dressed in white and decorated with pearly headdresses. Although they have passed the beginning of summer, Chang'an is not too hot after all, but they have only worn a white waistcoat, and they are only wearing a light gauze outside, which looks no different from bare shoulders and waist. At least seven or eight bracelets are stacked on their wrists. The texture is different, and there seems to be a bell on the ankle.
"The four Eastman are cannibals, but they grew up in Chang'an. They are fluent in language and are soft and reliable." The middle-aged man whispered, "Although Chang'an knows that there are not many people with his wife, he is like a forest. If he temporarily hires Han people, he may be able to talk to anyone, but Eastman and others will not."
Li Shilinang hummed - the big family always value blood. They may not mind wearing Hu clothes and appreciating all kinds of fresh things brought by merchants from thousands of miles away, but in the bones, Chinese clothes are the real orthodox. These Hu people with deep eyebrows and different skin colors are in the eyes of the family. It's just some toys.
What's more, most of the Hu people are businessmen in the Tang Dynasty, and Middle-earth has been said to be an official of agriculture, industry and commerce. Merchants are humble, even their own merchants in Central China are also despised, not to mention the very good-looking Hu people?
This is also because Chang'an West City is known as the Golden City and the most prosperous market in Chang'an, but the treasures of Liancheng always appear more in the East City. Therefore, in Chang'an, which is lined up in Jiadi Zhumen, temporary employment is more reliable.
"How is He Liu and his beloved lord?" After the middle-aged man explained, he saw that Li Shijunang had no intention of asking him to go down. He quickly lowered his hand and stood waiting for the order. Li Shisaniang took a Mengshan purple bamboo shoot presented by Isman in his hands, took a sip, and asked leisurely.
A middle-aged man paused and said, "About ten days ago, someone saw that your master took people on a hunting and pleasure tour. When He Liu heard the news, he rushed there with Xiahou Fubai with a bow and talked with your master in private, which seemed to be... quite close."
"Hmm?" Li Shilini heard the hesitation in his words and raised her eyebrows, "What does it mean to seem?"
"Just because after talking to him, your master lost his interest in hunting and took people back to the palace through Chongxuanmen. He Liu also sent him all the way to see him off. It was not until he saw your master enter Chongxuanmen that he turned to Fanglinmen and returned to the Xiuzhengfang." The middle-aged man explained, "Maybe it's not necessarily that your lord quarreled with him."
Li Shilinang narrowed her eyes and said faintly, "He was handsome and good at riding and shooting. I heard that the noble master he was infatuated with was only the age of his life. It has been so long and he hasn't been able to get what he wanted. It seems that I used to look up to him!"
"The lady doesn't know that the noble master in He Liu's view is the sister of today's saint. Princess Yuanxiu, who was from the former Empress Dowager Wenhua, ranked ninth among the golden branches and jade leaves of the royal family. It is said that her beauty will be better than her sister Princess Changyang, and there are many excellent Langjun in Chang'an, such as Cui Fengwu, the son-in-law of Princess Changyang. I have been called a fairy in heaven since I was a child!" The middle-aged man said, "Hebei should also submit to Chang'an. He Liu's status in Hebei is noble, but in the eyes of this lord, he may not pay attention to it! In one's opinion, the reason why the lord is willing to talk to He Liu in private must also use He Liu to get some news about Hebei. The noble lords grew up in the golden house and jade hall. Chang'an and Hebei are inseparable. They are not unaware. How can they rush to go down to Weizhou?
Li Shirteen said, "Is it up to you to decide whether it falls or not? Have you found out the mind of the saint during this period?
"The saint is unwilling." The middle-aged man said, "Last month, there was news from the palace that Dao Wei made a request for the surrender of your lord Yu He Liu in order to alienate our three towns in Hebei. As a result, he was driven out of the hall by the saint Jin Wuwei, which was very embarrassed. After that, Wei Zuo also visited the Du family for this."
"Hmm!" Li Shilinang lowered her eyes, raised it again, and waved her hand, "Is it Isman? You go down first!"
The four Hu Ji answered softly, exited the small building, and closed the door thoughtfully.
Only the confidant loyal to the Li family was left around, and Li Shisanniang said, "Wei Zoo went to visit the Du family? Who is the Du family?"
"It was Du Qingtang, the prime minister of Emperor Xianzong."
"I heard my father mention this person. At the beginning, he ascended the throne and sued him to the old man and let Wei Zao take his place. His father was happy to get the news in Youzhou." Li Shilinang said leisurely, "For this reason, I also set up a special home banquet in the backyard to celebrate! Wei Zuo, as the prime minister of the current dynasty, came to power after driving Du Qingtang away today. Now he has been scolded by Jin Shang and is the first to look for him - do you still think that the saint is really unwilling to lower your lord to He Liu?
The middle-aged man bowed his hand and said, "Please teach me!"
Li Shirniang's fingertips gently tapped rhythmically on the case, and her tone was leisurely: "Who is this Wei Zuo from Du Qingtang?"
"I know this!" Before the others answered, the line mother had already clapped her hands and smiled, "At the beginning, you were happy with the discord between Du Qingtang and the present, so the wife was curious about Du Qingtang. She sent me out to inquire about it - the wife of Du Qingtang's late brother Du Dan thorn, who was Wei Zuo's sister Wei Shiyi Niang."
"Du Qingtang's favor was unparalleled when he was Emperor Xianzong. Emperor Xianzong was known as a wise god and was the king of the rejuvenation of this dynasty. In his life, he believed that he was not a talented and unique person, but if you want to say that Emperor Xianzong, he trusted the most was Du Qingtang." Li Shilinang said lightly, "But because of the Empress Dowager Wenhua, the current saint had a grudge with Du Qingtang when he was still the crown prince. The reason why Emperor Xianzong chose Wei Zuo as the prince's teacher at that time did not ease the relationship between the two sides, and also took into account that once the prince succeeded to the throne, he would leave a cushion for Du Qingtang."
Seeing the people nodding, Li Shilinang smiled lazily: "The system of the vassal town, from the end of Emperor Xuanzong, to now Chang'an has been powerless. Several saints before Emperor Xianzong were mediocre kings, so that the world is like princes, and those who do not obey the edict of Chang'an or violators the yang. All of them are. After Emperor Xianzong succeeded to the throne, he first attacked Zhangyi and then attacked Ziqing. Even Guo, the mother of the Empress Dowager Wenhua, was in Chang'an. Because they received bribes from Xichuan jiedushi, under Du Qingtang's insistence, they were killed all over the door together with Xichuan jiedushi! As an example! The encounters of these three towns scared Xuanwu to pay tribute twice, but also invited himself to live in Chang'an! At that time, He Zhifang was forced to send troops to act as the vanguard of the crusade against Ziqing jiedushi, and took the lead in attaching the imperial edict of Emperor Xianzong!"
She said leisurely, "Is that the intention of the Emperor Xianzong of such a means to make Wei Zao the crown prince?"
