The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 252

The matter of Xuan Wulou was settled, and Xuan Shijing also planned to put the matter of the Jinyang Charity Fund mentioned earlier on the agenda.

Because Xuan Shijing discovered that his mansion was almost becoming a gambling gathering place for the ladies of Chang'an. Not only Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Qin and other close friends could gather for a table, and later, the two members of Yuchi's family The wife and the wife of the Niu family also brought their friends to visit their mothers in the Hou Mansion, and there were three mahjong tables in the mansion.

Came in the morning, had dinner at the Hou Mansion at noon, and returned home in their own carriages until the evening, which was even more punctual than clocking in at work.

This is not good, mahjong was originally a plaything that Xuan Shijing asked his mother to use for entertainment, but now it is a good thing, if the entertainment is not successful, and then cultivate a group of gambling gods, it will be great.

In the afternoon, Xuan Shijing took Fang Yiai to the conference hall on the fourth floor of Xuanwulou. Now, all the chambers of commerce in the Hou Mansion have settled in the fourth floor of Xuanwulou. Here, they will lead all the caravans outside the Hou Mansion Itinerary, route, cargo transportation and other matters, all goods can also be reported directly to the accounting office, which is more convenient than before, and the efficiency has also improved.

Sitting in this conference room are Qin Bingyue and Qin Yuxin, as well as her own mother, Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Qin who are poker friends. Xuan Shijing told Wang that , it would be best to get some noble ladies from Chang'an City to participate together. If only relying on the Hou Mansion and Yanlai Building, this is not considered public welfare, at most it can be regarded as a joint charity of the Hou Mansion and Yanlai Building.

Of course, Jin Yang was also on his way. Since returning to the palace, Jin Yang felt a lot less interesting, and stayed in the Nuan Pavilion all day to read and practice calligraphy with Li Zhi, without bothering his father.

Because many courtiers and His Majesty Li Er have been very busy in recent days, let alone Goguryeo’s Gao Huanquan lived in Honglu Temple for more than a month, approaching the end of the new year, and the surrounding countries have also sent envoys to come here Tang, among them, was Tubo who had just been defeated, and it was Tubo's prime minister Lu Dongzan who led the team to Datang.

Therefore, when Xuan Shijing sent someone to deliver the post into the palace, Jinyang was very excited.

Even Li Zhi, who was on the side, was a little envious. My sister seemed to be able to leave the palace again. What a pity, when will I be able to leave the palace? Obviously, he would not let himself leave Chang'an early.

"Ninth brother, don't be so downcast, how about you dress up and go out of the palace with me?" Jin Yang said happily.

Hearing this, Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and then he remembered the homework assigned by the master, and his eyes dimmed again: "Forget it, I still don't want to join in the fun, if the master finds out that I didn't study hard but sneaked out of the palace, will punish me."

Jin Yang curled his lips, patted Li Zhi on the shoulder, and said, "Ninth Brother, you are also a prince after all, don't live under the eyes of others all day long, look, Sister Gao Yang's life in the palace is better than yours. Zi Zi, if you continue to be bored like this, you will become a nerd sooner or later, so it's settled, Brother Nine hurry back and change clothes, I'll wait for you in the stable behind."

Seeing that Li Zhi was bored in the palace all day, either studying or practicing the six arts of a gentleman, Jin Yang couldn't help thinking of his life in the palace when he was young. He was accompanied by his father anyway, and occasionally he could listen to his father and courtiers. They talked about some outside things, but Brother Jiu seemed to only be accompanied by books all day long.

Li Zhi naturally wanted to go out of the palace with Jinyang, but he was extremely good at suppressing his desire, even if he thought about it, he could not stop thinking about it, but he also agreed with Jinyang's words very much in his heart, I am a prince, other princes can indulge themselves, why can't I?Just once.

While thinking in his mind, he walked towards his palace.

"Oh!" There was a soft shout in front of him.

The sense of touch on his head made Li Zhi know that he seemed to have bumped into someone, and this person was still a woman.
Li Zhi raised his head and looked at the girl: "Are you okay?"

The girl raised her head, Li Zhicai could see clearly that the person in front of him was a talented person whom his father had just conferred the title of Mei Niang.

"Wu Cairen? Xiao Wang is rude." Li Zhi cupped his hands and said, "Wu Cairen, did you hit me?"

Wu Meiniang gave a salute: "I have met His Royal Highness Prince Jin."

Wu Meiniang is only a person with a fifth-grade talent. Compared with Li Zhi, a direct prince, her status is naturally incomparable, so it is only natural for her to salute when she meets Li Zhi.

Li Zhi has a loyal personality and is an elegant person, and he is not arrogant just because of his noble status. Since he lost his mind while walking and bumped into someone, he should apologize.

"Wu Cairen don't need to be polite." Li Zhixu held up his hand and looked at this young talented man carefully.

Almond eyes and willow eyebrows, with a hint of tenderness in the eyebrows, but there is a trace of heroism in the eyes, which should be the reason why Li Zhi's head was really hurt just now, and there is still a faint mist in the eyes, which looks even more Adorable, a water-blue chest-length skirt, set off a graceful and beautiful figure.

"Did anyone hurt Wu Cairen just now?" Li Zhi asked.

Hearing this, Wu Meiniang smiled lightly, that smile made the fallen flowers in autumn bloom again.

"Why is my concubine so weak? His Royal Highness Prince Jin doesn't have to worry. My concubine is fine, but His Royal Highness Jin is so deprived of her virginity. What is there to worry about?" Wu Meiniang asked curiously.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I was just walking and thinking too much, and my mind just wandered off." Li Zhi smiled, and the talented person in front of him was quite interesting.

In the past, when Li Zhi met some concubines in his father's and queen's palaces in the palace, all of them would come up to curry favor with him, because perhaps through him, he could get the blessing of His Majesty Li Er, so Li Zhi was naturally very eager.

But this martial artist never said anything flattering. He was generous, lively but elegant, bright but dignified. Among the concubines in the harem, he was a unique sight.

"Then, His Royal Highness King Jin must be careful. This place is not far from the Taiye Pond, and it is a bit dangerous. It is better for His Highness to bring along the eunuchs with him when traveling." Wu Meiniang said with concern, her expression was sincere, and it made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Well, I got it." Li Zhi replied with a smile, remembering that he was going back to the palace to change clothes, Sizi was still waiting for him in the stable of the Nuan Pavilion, and he didn't talk much with Wu Meiniang, so he left in a hurry.

Seeing Li Zhi's leaving back, Wu Meiniang smiled, and walked towards Ganlu Palace with the maids beside her.
