Chapter 633 is expected to infiltrate and determine the key

On Changping Long Street in Dajing, Xiliang, there are many well-known shops, as well as teahouses and restaurants. There are also four treasures of rouge gouache and study, such as the Neon bureau, which is famous for selling clothes such as silk and satin. This company has a foundation of nearly a hundred years. It is said that the Dongjia family has been friends with many famous families in Dalong. Well, with a lot of support, it is possible to continuously buy famous silk from Dalong. The exquisiteness of the patterns is not comparable to ordinary silk shops on the market. For example, Zhenshan Hall, which has only emerged in recent years, is a jewelry shop. It is said that the owner is a Dalong merchant, and there are many ingenious craftsmen on hand. The hairpin jewelry style is new and exquisite, which has attracted the pursuit of many noble women.

Changping Long Street is not a place visited by ordinary people. Therefore, although there are many shops, there are only horses or sedan chairs on the road, which is not the noise of surging and shoulders.

It has arrived in the middle of winter, and there is little snow in Dajing, but the freezing rain is endless. This day finally stopped a little. The clouds slightly revealed the bright color of the sun, and the major cities immediately became lively. Just because Xiliang is about to celebrate the New Year along the important solar terms of Xi Dalong. At this time, both noble and low, they have to prepare rich and simple New Year goods.

Changping Long Street, which has been deserted for nearly half a month, has also ushered in a lot of carriages and horses. In a row of three open halls of Zhenshan Hall, there are desk chairs with slightly partitions with painting screens. Many noble women are already sitting, selecting new accessories presented by the waitresses, and there are also guests who bring their own jewelry and jade raw materials. They communicate with the merchants very seriously, hoping that It is processed into the jewelry they want, which is eye-catching at the New Year's banquet.

The hall is a little noisy, which shows that these guests are not actually the women of a prestigious family.

In fact, there are only reception counters and tea cases that make people wait. Jewelry and jade jewelry will not be picked out directly. Compared with the noise in the hall, it is not quiet here. The clerk is busy welcoming them to deliver tea. Some familiar guests meet each other and smile at each other. Gossip, or enemies who don't deal with each other, have narrowed the road and are talking nonsense in public.

On a cold day, the second shopkeeper in charge of hospitality was busy and sweating. When he saw another Zhuding Yujin car rolling and stopping in front of the door, he took two steps to see the words on the emblem. He bent down a little and trotted forward to meet him.

The shop also calmed down for several breaths. A little noblewoman lowered her voice and explained to her relatives who came to Beijing from other counties: "It's Princess Donghua's driver."

As soon as the voice fell, I saw the eight maids in white after the car getting off the horse and waiting for one side.

An Jin held the maid's hand down, listened to the shopkeeper's auspicious words, and entered without squinting.

Although the ladies immediately got up to salute and secretly had a lot of envy and curiosity, they were not surprised. Zhenshan Hall is well-sounding in the capital. The wives and ladies of the three royal families often come and go here, and Princess Donghua is also a regular guest, so it is not worth talking about.

In An Jin's status, naturally, she will not condescend to buy in the hall. Today, she paused here a little, told the big shopkeeper who greeted him, and arranged the clerk to greet the maids in white: "It's almost New Year, and you also choose two pin rings, which is my New Year's gift."

The maids in white were surprised when they heard this.

So An Jin was surrounded by only two trusted maids. With her, she walked through the hall and went to an elegant room for entertaining VIPs.

Du Yuniang had been waiting in it for a long time. As soon as she saw An Jin enter, she hurried forward to meet her. Her knees were about to bend, and she was helped up by An Jin.

"You two are waiting here, don't let people in." An Jin told his cronies that these two maidservants were not from the Dalong court, but the maidservant who "purchased" after they arrived in Xiliang. In fact, they were all arranged by Yu and could absolutely be trusted.

The three-story decorative frame in this elegant room is actually a secret door. At this time, it was pushed away by Du Yuniang and led An Jin out.

Through the corridor, Du Yuniang usually lives in the hanging flower door, not a place to treat guests.

"Brother, did he really come to Beijing in person?" An Jin didn't believe it until then. Although she received a letter from her family in October, she knew that her uncle had been awarded the title of King of Xian, and her brother attacked Chu. She didn't expect that Yu Wei had just arrived in Chuzhou and secretly sneaked into Beijing and sent a letter to her to make an appointment to meet her today.

At this time, as soon as he heard Du Yuniang say "yes", he saw a man walking out of the main hall with a strange face.

"The first time I saw the princess, this was Jin Qilang." Du Yuniang said.

It turned out that Jin Qilang and Xiao Man secretly went to Chuzhou to do business under the help of Yu Yu. They happened to meet the rich businessman Yan clan in Xiliang and was moved by it. As early as the seventh year of Yuanqing, they opened an embroidery workshop in Dajing. Over the years, they have cooperated with the Yan family, and their business has also been booming. They have also met many Xiliang dignitaries. Yuanqing for eight years. Jin and his relatives, under Yu's instructions, Xiao Man consciously became acquainted with noble women. With the four skills she had learned since childhood and the eight-faced exquisite cultivation she cultivated, and even became "confidants" with many women with three surnames. The merchant's status in Xiliang was not low, and there were introduced by the Yan family. Xiao Man also became many aristocratic banquets. The guest of the table.

Yu Wei understands the various connections between the nobles of Xiliang, partly relying on the Wei Ran brothers and sisters, and partly by the Jin Qi couple.

Although An Jin knew that there was such a couple, she was still the first time she saw a real person. In those years, she was deliberately suppressed by Xiao Xie in the palace of the King of Chu. Except for the Duke of Wei, she rarely had a chance to go to a banquet. Neither Jin Qi nor Xiao Man had seen it. She only knew that Xiao Man was once a good friend of the beautiful scenery, and the tortuous couple. Things.

Then followed Du Yuniang into the tea room behind the main hall partition. An Jin saw Yu Yu, who was talking to the woman in the partition, followed by the black-faced bodyguard Huidu.

"Brother." At this time, An Jin had a sense of reality. When he went forward to salute, the corners of his eyes were already red, and as soon as he bent his knees, he was helped up by Yu Yu.

The woman also stood up and bowed her knees: "My concubine Xiao asked Princess Jin'an of Donghua."

"Sister, don't be too polite. An Jin came to Xiliang. She had a lot of help from her sister and Jin Lang secretly, and she has never had a chance to express her gratitude." An Jin quickly picked up Xiao Man.

At this time, when everyone sat down in turn. Yu Yu asked about the details of An Jin and Yijing's meeting last time. Du Yuniang and Xiao Man were naturally full of attention. When they heard that Yijing called themselves "Qianpan" and didn't seem to know the princess, both of them looked heavy.

"At first, I also thought that it was inconvenient for my sister-in-law to recognize each other because of Ji Yu's presence, but later, because of Ji Yu's malicious provocation, my sister-in-law splashed tea on her face. When Ji Yu left, my sister-in-law should have no more scruples, but she also followed her away. It seemed that there was also secretly blame me for letting me because of curiosity. She remembered the intention of seeing the guests and carefully afterwards. As soon as she entered the hall, her sister-in-law stared at me for a long time and seemed to know... I became more and more worried. Brother, there must have been no accident. My sister-in-law didn't remember the past and was bullied by the emperor. I really thought she was Qianpan..." An Jin was worried: "The emperor's expedition, I wanted to do it again. I went to visit, but later I heard that Mrs. Xue San was in Dajun's mansion, and she went out to socialize. She knew that even if she went, it would not help. At the same time, her brother specially told me not to interfere, so she had to give up.

After these words, there was a moment of silence in the tea room. An Jin saw her brother's solemn expression, and she could only sigh secretly and couldn't bear to say anything more.

"It may also be a hypothetical amnesia of the scenery. I want to let the king relax his guard and find a chance to get out." Yu Yu said.

"The king did not relax his guard because of this, and his concubine also inquired about it. No one of those flattering women could see the princess." Xiao Man frowned slightly.

Since Yanzilou was deliberately exposed by Yu, Zhenshan Hall has become a secret liaison office. Du Yuniang had to tell her not to act lightly. Therefore, although she was anxious when she learned that Yijing was abducted, she did not dare to inquire about the traces in private. At this time, she quickly asked, "Can the prince think of a way to save the princess?"

"It's definitely not possible to be strong. Even if the princess has the opportunity to travel in the future, she can set up a robbery on the way, and it is absolutely impossible to get out of the customs." It was Huidu who spoke. During this period, he deliberately inspected the city defense of Dajing and the border defense corresponding to Tonglingguan, knowing that it was not feasible by brute force.

"I already have some ideas about this matter, but I have to care about whether it is not. At present, the key is to determine what the situation of the scenery is, because no matter what the plan is, she needs her active cooperation." Yu Yu muttered slightly and suddenly asked An Jin, "Jiyu's provocation is because she covets the position of the emperor's wife. So what has happened to the Hu clan recently?"

"The Hu family has been suppressed by the Qing family in recent years. It is not as powerful as before in the court. It is also the owner of their family and a drunkard. It has now fallen. However, the eldest son, Boyang Jun, is not good for his father and is quite stable. He has two direct sisters, Zheng Yang and Tongyang, both of whom are waiting to marry. They are the lady who visited Long with Princess Jinyuan. Sister-in-law." An Jin shook her head: "My father Lan Jiang Gong doesn't like to communicate with the Hu family. In order to reassure him, I have no relationship with the Hu lady."

"The owner of the Hu family wants to compete with the Qing family, but his son Bo Yangjun has some reservations." Xiao Man said, "Zheng Yang has a hidden disease. She accidentally fell from a high place when she was young. At this time, she had epilepsy. My concubine has witnessed it with her own eyes. Many people have learned that the royal family will not accept such a great king's wife in any case. Therefore, even if Hu wants to marry the emperor, the candidate can only be Tongyang."

"What does it mean that my wife said that Boyang has reservations?" Yu Yu asked.

"My concubine has a good relationship with Mrs. Hu and often goes to the Hu clan. She knows that this Mrs. Hu has been extremely proud since she was young. She is very concerned about the rumors that the emperor spoils her concubine. Tongyang is the pearl of her eye and has a childhood sweetheart with Mrs. Hu's nephew Gong Lang. In fact, neither Mrs. Hu nor Tongyang wants to be with her. Jun's marriage was influenced by this mother and daughter. Boyangjun also believes that his sister may marry into Dajun's mansion. Like the Qing family, he is as delusional. Only by making friends with Dajun and Wan can he revive the family and seize power again in the future. However, although Duke Junjiang, the head of the Hu family, is drunk and erotic and his ability is not obvious, he is extremely greedy and competitive. If he doesn't have the ability, he still doesn't let go of the power of the master and doesn't focus on the overall situation at all. He only quarrels with the Qing family for a moment. He wants Tongyang to marry into the Dajun Mansion in order to compete with the Qing family.

So, it seems that only the head of the Hu family is bound to win the king, and Tongyang itself is not willing to do so. Hu's mother and son are pleasing to the king and Wan, not competing with "Kianpan" or Princess Jinyuan for the future throne.

Yu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "An Jin, the Qing clan should have jade ears and eyes, right?" After An Jin's positive reply, Yu Wei smiled gently: "Use them to spread the humiliation of Ji Yu."

In this way, Hu's Tongyang can further know the degree of favor of "Qianpan" and dispel the idea of competing for favor with him, but he is bound not miss this opportunity to suppress the Qing family.

"The wife often went to the Qing family recently and told Mrs. Hu that this is an opportunity to suppress the Qing family. She should communicate with the Dajun Mansion and find a way to get acquainted with 'Qianpan'. The wife can say frankly that she wants to take over the embroidery of the Dajun Mansion, hoping that Mrs. Hu and Tongyang will be recommended on her behalf." Yu Yu said.

This is to take advantage of the Hu family so that Xiao Man can have the opportunity to contact the beautiful scenery. Although Yu Haoxi knows Jin Qilang, he should have never seen Xiao Man. Xiliang is not like Dalong. Each house has maidservant with excellent embroidery skills. In fact, most of the embroidery workshops in Xiliang are embroidered women hired by Dalong in order to tailor dresses for the nobles.

Xiao Man's embroidery workshop is under the banner of the Yan family. The identity of the couple is not a native of Xiliang has not spread. As long as Jin Qilang does not show up, Xiao Man will not arouse the suspicion of the Dajun Mansion.

"If you can see a good scene, be careful and don't need to say much, just test whether she really loses her memory." Yu Wei told him.

After calculating this matter, Yu Yu asked An Jin again: "Because of the king, I'm afraid that the king of Xiliang will shake the idea of making Jin Yuan the crown prince. In the opinion of the third sister, what does Princess Jin Yuan plan to do?"
