Chapter 31 Each has its own plans
In the small courtyard by the lake behind the Qingfeng Building, the shopkeeper Huang Er shook the tabloid in his hand, with a little worry on his face. Looking at Qin Yu, the fifth prince, who lay on the couch and seemed to be asleep, said, "I didn't expect that this Yutang Spring is getting more and more lively. The shopkeeper Min told me the day before yesterday that the people who came to Qingfeng Tower these days are naming Yutangchun more and more. The more he asked people to go to Qianchunfang to want some Yutangchun. Who knows, there is no bottle left. I think if Qianchunfang pushes this Yutangchun out at this year's competition, it's really difficult for us to be the first Liuxia wine.
"Well," the fifth prince closed his eyes and shook his feet, and said plausible 'um'. Huang Er's shopkeeper continued, "Don't Mrs. Li know that Qianchunfang didn't get a song this year? Zhao, the shopkeeper of Qianchunfang, must be clear about this. Did he not tell his boss, or... something else happened? Without Quyin, what's the use of spending these efforts to compete for the first place? Qu Yin was taken by the Duke of Wen's mansion. Even if the Duke of Wen had a plan for Rong'an Hall before the New Year, it must have been counted as a winery again this time. Is this matter that the Duke of Wen's mansion wanted to compete for the first place in the wine competition?
"It's definitely not in the Duke of Wen's mansion," the fifth prince closed his eyes and said lazily, "Wu Chenglin's cleverness is on women, Ning State," the fifth prince paused and laughed down at the corners of his mouth: "She will only think she is smart and tricks. If she has this ability in business, she still needs to be so shameless. "People's shop?"
"What the fifth master said is very true, but there is no introduction. What can the wife of the Li family do if she wins the first place? I can't figure it out." The second shopkeeper frowned, and the fifth prince waved his hand lazily: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Don't you know after April 1? This first one is gone, and it's not a big deal. Don't worry, if the winery comes to Ningguo, it will have to be paid for all in only three or five years at most.
"Alas, it's a pity that it's spring." The second shopkeeper said with regret, and the fifth prince raised half of his eyelids and glanced at him and said, "I really want to. At that time, Xunning will buy this Yutangchun."
"I wish I could buy it," Huang Er shook his head helplessly and said, "This eldest princess, I really don't know what's good about her. At the beginning of last year, Duke Wen found some medicinal materials and a few prescriptions that were not used in the library and a few prescriptions he wanted to sell to us. Liu chose Zhang's prescriptions for throat disease. Who knows the eldest princess He said that the recipe was a secret recipe in the palace and would be sold for 500,000 taels of silver. He said that Manager Liu had seen it and could not buy it. This matter... That's still a useless thing in her warehouse.
"Well, it's just that sticky teeth are shameless." Speaking of this, the fifth prince's face became gloomy, and he was stuffy when he thought of it. When he knew about this matter, the prince of Dongyang had already pressed the Duke of Wen to settle the matter, so that he had to owe the fourth brother a favor. The fifth prince waved his hand angrily: "Then don't do it. What's wrong with other people's things? Besides, there are many regrets in the world.
"That's true." Manager Huang Er smiled with a good temper.
In the back garden of the Duke of Wen's Mansion, there are all kinds of precious peonies in the upper room of the main courtyard. The eldest princess of Ningguo stood in front of a half-person-high flower frame and appreciated a pot of half-opening deep purple near-ink precious peonies. Wu Chenglin, Duke of Wen comfortably tilted on the chair and reached out his hand to pry a petal from a few gorgeous bright yellow peony next to him. When he came down, he smelled it, threw it on a few hands, and looked at his mother and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao said that there were only thirty or 40 jars of Yutangchun in the cellar, and he didn't dare to take it out again. He prepared it for our house. Manager Zhao also said that the list of new wine this year was twice as much as in previous years. He dragged and confiscated the silver for fear of receiving the deposit. , let the little girl of the Li family take his hand. It's not easy for him to stop him.
"He is sincere." The eldest princess of the State of Ning moved aside and changed a basin of peonies and said, "I told you last time. I have to quickly look for a shopkeeper. After this Zhao has used up this year, I will send him away. My mother tells you that this kind of traitor can't be used for a long time. He can help us behind the Li family or behind our back. People!"
"Don't worry, I've already looked for two or three shopkeepers, and I'll arrange them when the winery arrives." Wu Chenglin was confident. Princess Ningguo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Bring me here to have a look. This shop is all up to the shopkeeper, and people have to find it."
"My mother's lesson is extremely good." Wu Chenglin flattered happily. The eldest princess of Ningguo enjoyed a few pots of flowers, took the handkerchief and sat back on the couch, looked at Wu Chenglin, and said with a little emotion, "This sister Tian, like her grandmother, is a rare good person in taking care of common affairs. Who would have thought that she would use this method to sell wine? However, this method is quite useful. Whether it will be a little particular about business or not. Such a little girl, if she has children of the right age, she will have to marry back. This is to carry a silver mountain home.
"No, there is not even a similar descendant in the family. It's all because of my son. In the early years, I should have set up a concubine widely. Isn't there such a difficulty as today?" Wu Chenglin extended Ningguo's regret to his own regret. Even if there were thousands of women in his backyard, there were still too few.
The eldest princess of Ningguo was not very annoyed with a 'hum'. Wu Chenglin raised his eyebrows twice and suddenly had a good idea: "Mother, I have a good idea. If I don't take this little girl, this silver mountain will not fall outside at all!" The more Wu Chenglin thought about it, the more he felt that this method was perfect. He heard that the girl was born very well: "That little girl was beautiful when she was a child. Although she hasn't seen her in years, she has the foundation when she was a child, and she is probably not bad."
"Bunthings!" The eldest princess of Ning was blocked by Wu Chenglin's idea and had a pain in her chest. After a long time, she calmed down and lit Wu Chenglin and didn't know where to scold her: "That little girl's heart is so much. Can you stop it? You are homesick! Let me tell you, don't make this useless idea. Anyway, she is also the legitimate daughter of the Duke of the State. What's the matter for you to bring them in? The temper of the official family is the most annoying and indulges in women. How many times have I usually beaten you? If you dare to accept that girl, you don't want to think about what the capital will become. If you go back and let the officials know, it's not a matter of kneeling at the palace gate! Take this useless thought as soon as possible!"
"I'll say that you can't do it. I don't care about my mother. I don't want you to work hard. If you say you can't do it, you can't do it. This noble girl is the same as wood. How can't be those ladies? They are all amorous..." Wu Chenglin said slippery. Seeing that the eldest princess of Ningguo was going to raise her eyebrows again, she hurriedly waved her hand. "If there is nothing wrong with my mother, I have to go out. If there is something important, my son will leave." Wu Chenglin said while arching his hand and retreated two steps, turned around, and took three steps and two steps to slip out of the room.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the opening ceremony of Yingxiangchi. Early this morning, Lin Ke hurriedly drank half a bowl of porridge in the upper room of the royal palace of Nanning County, put down the bowl and laughed, "A Niang, slow down, I'll go first!" When the words fell, the man had jumped up and ran out. Princess Jiang hurriedly shouted, "Come back!" Lin Ke has rushed to the door, inside and outside the door. He turned his head and looked at Princess Jiangjun and waved her hand and said, "I've written it down. Take Sister Tian to see the eldest sister first. The eldest sister misses her. Alas getting late. Yaoyao is going to come to me again. I'm leaving!"
Princess Jiang sighed helplessly and had no appetite. She stood up and rinsed her mouth, turned to the next room, leaned against the kang under the south window, took the tea handed over by her mother-in-law, mother-in-law Bai, took a sip of tea soup and sighed, "A Kechang followed her aunt, but her heart did not follow her at all. Look, it's so big and so rough.
"It's a blessing for the second sister to have such a temperament. Mrs. Lin is not good in her life." Mother Bai smiled and said, Princess Jiang gently 'um', screened everyone and motioned Mother Bai to sit down and speak. Mother Bai sat sideways on the edge of the kang. Princess Jiang said softly, "Tian'er's girl is not good-to-do good, and her heart has followed ten. I didn't dare to think too much about those things in Yan's house in the past, but There are so many things born outside the past few years, which gave birth to this kind of Yutangchun drama. No one can't help thinking much about it.
"However," Mother Bai agreed and said, "What do you think about Rong'antang? If it's a coincidence, it's too coincidental. And she did that law in Qingtongyuan. This is really bold. I heard that now the Duke of Yongguo Mansion dares not easily go to her yard. This ghost thing... Amita Buddha, who can't respect it? Aren't these five women afraid?
"Well, it's for these things that the more I think about it, the more I feel that this girl is not simple, hearty and bold, and she has a lot of money in her hand. Alas, who knows how much money she has. My aunt is an incomprevious, but so is this girl. I just think that Rong Antang's thing is her plan, but it's really hard to believe it. , this is too terrible. She is only fourteen years old! If she really did it, this exquisite plan is a little more powerful than her aunt in those years. Speaking of Mrs. Lin, Princess Jiangjun lost her mind for a moment before she continued to say, "It's best for the Leng family to retire. I didn't like it. It's a pity to marry the Leng family."
"Speaking of this luck, this sister's luck is really good. As soon as Mrs. Lin's funeral, the Yan brothers did such a stupid thing, but they were saved by the fourth prince. This is really... good luck that can't be found even by lanterns." Mother Bai sighed: "It would be good for Sister Tian to have such good luck today."
