Chapter 90
Dong Zhu greeted Zhuo Ran at the same place as before, and saluted when she saw the person, knowing that Yan Qingyao had something to say to Zhuo Ran, she didn't dare to delay, and quickly led him to the place.

Zhuo Ran bowed down, Yan Qingyao came out from behind the screen, she raised her hand to help Zhuo Ran up, and said, "Si Ye is very polite, sit down and talk. Dong Zhu, show Si Ye some tea."

Dong Zhu nodded and said, "Yes."

"Thank you, imperial concubine." Zhuo Ran sat on the rattan chair opposite Yan Qingyao, Dongzhu made tea, and said softly: "My lady, the Imperial Doctor Jiang has just been announced in Concubine Lan's palace."

Yan Qingyao raised her hand to pick up the silk fan on the table, and said, "It's getting colder, and Concubine Lan has been worried about His Majesty's cold illness. What about the little prince?"

"I'm coaxing at the nurse's place at the moment." Dongzhu said.

Yan Qingyao's eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, "That's just right, let's bring the child here."

Zhuo Ran also lowered her head and smiled, Yan Qingyao watched Dong Zhu run out, and then said to her: "When Chu Yun is older, Si Ye can come to see him in the palace from time to time."

"Thank you, imperial concubine." Zhuo Ran said: "By the way, my lady, Xiaqiu is here this time because he has something to ask for your help."

Yan Qingyao circled the round fan with her fingers, and nodded when she heard the words: "Si Ye said it directly."

Zhuo Ran paused for a moment, then said: "Too many people were involved in the Lianhua Lane incident before, but Xiaqiu had no choice but to ask the Yan Family Embroidery Workshop to allocate money to help the emergency. Knowing that the matter has not been resolved, Xiaqiu wanted to help Wen The young master will make up for the silver."

Although Yan Qingyao stayed in the deep palace, she knew everything about the Yan family well.This time, the Yan family paid out of their own pockets, and the money did not come from the strong wind, so the embroidery workshop business would definitely suffer some losses, and Yan Yingzhen was handed over to Wen Rongxi to take care of all this matter.This person is reliable, and he doesn't deal with other families on weekdays. Even if others want to bribe him, he can't find him. Wen Rongxi can be regarded as putting his whole body on the business of the embroidery workshop, and he didn't make any complaints. However, regarding these business matters, Yan Qingyao I really don't understand.

She knew the purpose of Zhuo Ran's sudden desire to help Wen Rongxi.One is that she really cheated the Yan family, and she wants to do something to make up for it, and the other is that she has ulterior motives, her purpose is not just to get back the money.

"Master Si Ye won't do these things for nothing, right?" Yan Qingyao leaned back and said, "What reward do you want?"

Zhuo Ran didn't beat around the bush and said, "Silver."

Yan Qingyao smiled, and said in disbelief: "I remember that Mr. Si Ye's salary is at least 90 taels a year. Does Si Yehui have money to come to Yan's embroidery workshop to help make money?"

"Your Majesty, you were joking." Zhuo Ran felt a little helpless, and said, "Si Ye is a fourth-rank official, and his salary is pretty good, but the construction and repair of this residence was all paid by the officials themselves, and there is a monthly salary in the yard." Your attendant, Xiaqiu is real..."

Yan Qingyao saw that she was sticking to Si Ye's words in her words, so she knew what her real purpose was when she refused to say anything.But take your time.She thought for a while, and said: "It's just that Bengong doesn't know much about the business of the embroidery workshop. At most, Bengong can help you send a message to Yan Shu."

Zhuo Ran raised her eyes.

Yan Qingyao frowned, and said, "But Si Ye, why don't you go directly to the Second Young Master? He has a good relationship with Yan Shu, and it's more effective for you to find him than Ben Gong."

"My concubine, please forgive me." Zhuo Ran lowered her head, and said, "A few days ago Xiaqiu quarreled with the Second Young Master because of Kang Sheng'an, and the Second Young Master is probably still angry with Xiaqiu."

Naturally, Yan Qingyao didn't believe it. She had heard about the beauty of a man and a woman in the governor's mansion on Mid-Autumn Night, but she didn't expect that the two of them were so interesting.

"Success." Yan Qingyao smiled and said, "Leave this matter to Bengong. You don't need to worry, Er Shao has Yan Shu by his side, so he won't really get angry with you, at most he will reprimand you."

Zhuo Ran nodded and said: "Xiaqiu thanked the imperial concubine."

Dongzhu led the wet nurse into the hall, and Chuyun had just slept enough and was in good spirits. When he saw Yan Qingyao, he stretched out his arms to hug her.Zhuo Ran got up but didn't dare to move, and he didn't see the little prince after coming several times, but when he saw him this time, he was indeed carved out of the same mold as Chu Shiyu.

Yan Qingyao patted Chu Yun's back lightly, and said, "You guys go down first, wait for Concubine Lan to get well, and then we can have dinner together."

Dongzhu and the nurse backed away, Yan Qingyao carried Chuyun to the bed, put him on the bed and let him play by himself.Zhuo Ran stood still, Yan Qingyao smiled and said, "Come over to Xiaqiu."

Zhuo Ran walked over slowly, Chu Yun turned over by himself on the bed, saw Zhuo Ran and stretched out his hand, Yan Qingyao hugged him and said: "Xiaqiu, sit down."

Yan Qingyao pulled down Chuyun's sleeves and stuffed his hands in. Chuyun just looked at Zhuo Ran directly, neither crying nor fussing. Zhuo Ran blinked, Yan Qingyao handed Chuyun to Zhuo Ran .

Zhuo Ran had never seen such a small person before, and she couldn't react at once, Yan Qingyao took her hand and hugged Chu Yun, saying: "Usually he wouldn't even let Dong Zhu and Xia Qiong be hugged, why is he so obedient today?"

Zhuo Ran froze there and did not dare to move, Chu Yun stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhuo Ran's hair band, and laughed in Zhuo Ran's arms, Yan Qingyao was about to pull out the hair band, but Chu Yun held it tight, and burrowed into Zhuo Ran's arms .

"You are so pleasing to the child." Yan Qingyao couldn't help laughing, and said, "Relax, don't strangle him."

Zhuo Ran couldn't take it anymore, Yan Qingyao finally hugged Chu Yun at the last moment, she rubbed her sore arm secretly, and lowered her head to pick up the red rope on the ground.

The red rope is not hers, Zhuo Ran looked at Yan Qingyao and said, "Young Concubine, this is the little prince's."

Yan Qingyao nodded and said, "Well, General Ye Ji made it himself, and it was delivered before he was born."

Zhuo Ran tied the red rope around his wrist, and saw the word "Bo Ye", which must be Chu Yun Mirai's character.She looked at Chuyun, then at Yan Qingyao, and said in a low voice, "Your concubine, there is still something to do in the Imperial College, so Xiaqiu will leave first."

Yan Qingyao said, "Go."

Zhuo Ran bowed down and bowed before leaving the palace gate.Dongzhu and the wet nurse were waiting outside, and when they saw Zhuo Ran come out, they all bowed their heads and waited for Yan Qingyao's instructions.

It was not until dusk that Xia Qiong came over from Ye Lanyi, and Dong Zhu immediately went up to meet her and said, "Why did you come, the little prince has already slept."

Xia Qiong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty didn't wake up until after sleeping. The young lady said that the imperial concubine and empress should go to the palace for dinner together."

"I'll call." Dong Zhu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and Yan Qingyao went to Ye Lanyi Palace with Chu Yun in her arms.

***
Bao restaurant is indeed not grand, as long as there are rich people in Baiyuan building, they will hang out in it every day, which does not show Li Yunchuan's wealth.Zhuo Ran was not stingy either, and gave most of the banknotes to Li Yanchuan. The so-called best use of everything, Li Yanchuan built the largest painting boat on Bi Lake in the south of Gaodu.

Bihu is not a place that ordinary people can come to.Whether it's Wuhualou or Huanyan Pavilion, the women inside are carefully selected, but the girls in Huafang are different, and you can give money to whichever you like.Li Xunchuan knew the temperament of these people well, so he made a beautiful woman who painted boats in one go.

Most of the people who came to the banquet this time were people from the six major cities, and there were also those who were related to the six major cities and squeezed their heads into the six major cities. A very small number were low-key dignitaries in Gaodu, and they were all called over by Li Yuchuan.Wu Xiuting pushed the matter away, and Li Yuchuan knew that he would not come, since his purpose was not on him anyway, so he let him go.

The people who came here basically tried their best to refuse, and Li Xunchuan didn't say much, but just ticked an extra horizontal line on the invitation card, which happened to be on his own name, so it seemed that he was in a bad mood and was angry , who dares to offend others when Li Yuchuan is angry.

Besides, Li Yanchuan was rewarded for being in Lianhua Lane, and he was nominated and praised by Chu Shiyu because of the successful conclusion of Qiu Wei. The people Li Yanchuan invited were all honored. In the future, if Li Yanchuan really wins back the champion, he will not be able to clear up his old scores with them when he returns to Beili.

The meaning of their meeting is to reciprocate courtesy, and the gifts they bring are also extremely expensive. Li Yuchuan ordered him to refuse to accept the gift early in the morning, just to let these people understand what it means to take advantage of people's short hands and eat others' soft mouths.In fact, Li Xunchuan didn't think so much, Yan Chengxuan dared to come secretly, he dared to be blatant, in short, he couldn't lose in momentum.

Li Xun Chuan Duan sat in the main seat, and the boat was full of room for a week, which was enough for resting. He was not in a hurry, and he didn't speak after drinking for three rounds.

The people who came were indeed rich and wealthy merchants, as well as high-ranking officials who had never met. Although Li Yunchuan was the governor and went to court on weekdays, he had no connection with business routes, so he was nodding with these people. Hand in, this is after the banquet, it's more than that.Li Xunchuan caught sight of the person sitting at the banquet drinking silently, Xiyu said in a low voice, "Master, this person is Wu Lianyi."

Li Xunchuan rubbed his wine glass, frowned and said, "He came so reluctantly, he ruined my good wine."

Xiyu said: "The Wu family originally didn't want Wu Lianyi to come. Hearing that Wu Yue asked Wu Xiuting to come, Wu Xiuting pushed the job to Wu Lianyi, so there was a commotion. His appearance should be scolded by Wu Yue." Suddenly."

How can Wu Yue say, he likes the new and dislikes the old naturally, especially after he was granted the title of Lord Marquis.The main wife was a lady from everyone who he immediately fell in love with at a glance, but after a few years, he fell in love with a famous prostitute in Wucheng, and spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to marry her as a concubine. After receiving all of Wu Lianyi's favor, the latter was forced to come to this point step by step.

Li Xunchuan sighed, and said, "There is only one person for tonight, and the debt will be doubled in the future."

The attendant came to Li Yanchuan's side and said in a low voice: "Governor, the Court of Justice He Daren and Wang Shangshu are here."

"Yo," Li Yuchuan raised his eyebrows, and said, "I thought they didn't come until the banquet was over."

After finishing speaking, he got up and went out, Wu Lianyi saw Li Yuchuan walking by, raised his head slightly, and quickly changed the pot of wine.

He Xiyao and Wang Jitong didn't come together, they just ran into each other by chance, and while they were still talking, Li Yuchuan came out.Li Xunchuan was dressed very majesticly today, a black tunic robe, embroidered with gold thread all over, and the silver crown held up his hair high, making it even more noble.

He was still smelling of alcohol, and the two of them knew it was late when they heard it, and they asked Li Yanchuan to greet him in person, and couldn't help bowing their heads to apologize, but Li Yanchuan waved his hands and said, "Private banquets are not good, so don't hold them too much." Li, please go inside."

He Xiyao knew that Li Yanchuan must have understood something if he didn't mention anything about the past. He didn't pursue too much, which was enough to see that this person was magnanimous and a trustworthy person, so he wished he could tell Li Chengru all of Li Chengru's evil deeds, but Wang Ji was with him. It's hard to say anything "take a step to speak", so I can only hold it back temporarily.

Wang Jitong came here just to make up the number. The Wang family has always been calm and peaceful, and they are calm enough. Neither Li Yanchuan nor Yan Chengxuan can be offended, and receiving favors will not change his mind.

Li Xunchuan did not go in with them, but instead looked at the person who stopped behind their carriage, and the attendant helped him out of the carriage steadily.

Xiyu took a few steps back, while Li Yuchuan stepped forward, bowed to salute, and said, "Marquis Wu is here."

Wu Yue is here.Sure enough, Wu Lianyi still couldn't hold on to the situation, as soon as Wu Yue came, he slapped Wu Lianyi in the face, he hurriedly returned the salute, Li Xunchuan could see that he was not here for the banquet, he seemed to have something urgent to deal with.

"Marquis Wu is here..." Li Yuchuan said.

Wu Yue was a little excited, he panted heavily, and said: "Governor, please forgive me, this old man came to take my unworthy son home."

Li Xunchuan frowned, he had no right to intervene in the Wu family's family affairs, and he would be blamed for delaying things.Li Xun Chuan said in a deep voice, "Don't be so angry, Marquis Wu, Xiyu, take Master Marquis to the boat to find Master Wu."

Marquis Wu wanted to see the man immediately, so naturally he would not let Xiyu bring him out, Li Yuchuan thought for a moment, and followed Marquis Wu into the boat.He Xiyao and Wang Jitong hadn't figured out what happened, so they could only go in with Li Yuchuan.

As soon as Wu Yue entered the painting boat, he saw Wu Lianyi in the corner drinking to soothe his worries.He pushed away the person who led the way, stepped forward and grabbed Wu Lianyi by the collar, and punched him.

Wu Lianyi was stunned by the blow, and before he could react, another punch came up.He hurriedly dodged backwards and knocked down several tables and chairs. Wu Yue refused to let go, and said sharply: "You are unworthy, did I raise you to make you prodigal? Ah? How dare you go to Wuhualou?" Planting a place to raise chicks, you can do it, right?"

Wu Lianyi grabbed Wu Yue's arm with one palm. It was a young man after all. He forced Wu Yue's hand off and said, "Father! What are you talking about? When did I raise a little girl?"

"You're still pretending!" Wu Yue shook off Wu Lianyi's hand, and shouted, "Don't you dare to do it? People have come to get this evidence of redemption. Is it your Wu Lianyi's name on it? It's making people's stomachs bigger." If you still don't admit it, how can I have a son like you!"

Wu Lianyi picked up the redemption deed on the ground, it was indeed his name, but it was not written by him at all.Wu Lianyi frowned and said, "Father! I didn't sign this, I didn't..."

Wu Yue smiled coldly, and said, "Why, do you feel ashamed? You have completely embarrassed me!"

Li Xunchuan crossed his arms to watch the play, Xiyu frowned and said, "Master, we..."

"Hush." ​​Li Yanchuan said in a low voice, "Wait and see."
