A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 778 A List

Nie Yinniang got off the carriage and looked at Chen Lang who was standing in front of the carriage waiting for him.

He is less than thirty years old, tall and burly, with wheat-colored skin that is not white, but paired with that very tough square face, it shows his masculinity even more.

She has long hands and feet, a broad chest, and a thick waist. These give her a strong sense of security.

He also has a pretty smile, with neat and white teeth.

"I've kept Chen Lang waiting for so long. There are too many cars and horses coming out of the city to Qujiang today, and the road is blocked. I'm really sorry." Nie Yinniang smiled slightly and said
This smile is charming.

"Indeed, today there is not only a dragon boat race, but also a polo match. It is also a star exhibition match of the Chang'an Polo League. Star players from the [-] representative teams of the Chang'an Super League formed two teams to perform. This is a rare event. What a grand occasion,”

Chen Sheng smiled and took out a beautiful box.

It was wrapped in brocade silk and tied with a bow.

"A little care."

Nie Yinniang first brushed the hair around her ears, and then showed him the pearl earrings on her earlobes, "I like the pair of Hepu pearl earrings that Mr. Chen gave me very much. Do they look good on me?"

The design of the pair of earrings is quite simple, but it also highlights the two pearls.

Nie Yinniang wears this pair of pearl earrings, which not only highlights her fair skin, but also highlights her temperament, making her look a little more noble.

Embellished with this pair of pearl earrings, the whole person really adds a lot of color.

"This pearl is just right for you."

Chen Sheng asked her to open the new gift in her hand. Nie Yinniang pretended not to accept it. After a few refusals, she opened it and untied the cotton silk bow. Inside was a sandalwood box.

The box is not big, but it is extremely delicate.

Open the sandalwood box and there is a bottle of perfume inside.

The crystal clear and graceful glass bottle, although small, is extremely luxurious.

Nie Yinniang immediately recognized that this was a perfume produced by the Wu family, produced by Xiangyu Hao, and a favorite among women.

Compared with the rose dew introduced from the Western Regions, the Wu family's perfume appears more luxurious and high-end. In recent years, it has always been a symbol of identity and status.

Of course it is also extremely expensive.

For example, the bottle in her hand, just the cotton silk, sandalwood box and glass bottle wrapped outside, is already extremely precious, and even reminds people of the story of buying a casket for pearls.

"Try this scent and see if you like it. It's a floral perfume."

There are many types of perfumes in the Wu family. They are completely different from the toilet water from the Western Regions in terms of craftsmanship. In comparison, there are many types of perfumes in the Wu family, such as floral perfumes, fruity perfumes, and woody perfumes. , spices and perfumes, etc.
Able to create various fragrances,

From various flowers, to various fruits, to various spice woods such as sandalwood and cedar, to various spices such as pepper, cardamom, and even ambergris as raw materials, plus the secrets of Wu family perfume weapons alcohol,

It can be said that this high-end luxury industry has an exclusive market in Chang'an and cannot be imitated by others. Whether it is traditional spices from the Central Plains or toilet water from the Western Regions,

Wu family's perfume, because of its uniqueness, becomes more and more luxurious and more popular among women.

Nie Yinniang tried it. This bottle was jasmine perfume.

Compared with ordinary jasmine toilet water or jasmine sachets, this perfume has a more distinct layering, and its fragrance retention and fragrance are also better.

No woman can refuse the Wu family's perfume.

The same goes for Nie Yinniang.

She took the initiative to hug Chen Sheng's arm, and even kissed him lightly on the cheek, "What does Mr. Chen want from me, just tell me."

Chen Sheng was a little disturbed by the kiss. He had already married a wife and had children, but he still couldn't help but feel shaken at this moment.

Compared to this popular girl from Nanqu in Pingkangfang, when his wife was still his slave, the slave girl assigned to him by the Li Jing family could not compare to Yinniang in any aspect. She was young, beautiful, white-skinned, and had good teeth. , especially the excellent temperament, the clothes, the jewelry, and even the red rouge on the eyebrows,

It's still that smile that fascinates people.

"I have reserved a seat at a teahouse by the Qujiang River. I am on the second floor by the window. I can drink tea while watching the dragon boat race."

"The slave can also play a flute for Mr. Chen to entertain him."

By the Qujiang Pool, there are many pavilions and pavilions, as well as many restaurants and restaurants. Although this is the south of the city and is considered a suburb, the population of Chang'an has increased significantly in recent years, the world is stable, and the capital is prosperous. This Qujiang Pool is also It has become a rare leisure place in Chang'an.

Especially during various holidays every year, large-scale royal events are held here, such as imperial examination banquets, spring outings, autumn outings, Double Ninth Festival, etc.
Therefore, it is now not only a villa leisure resort for noble officials, but also a good place for ordinary people to relax.
When foreign officials, merchants, and scholars come to Chang'an, they usually come here to visit. There are many shops beside Qujiang Pond, and the business is pretty good. On a day like today, if you don't make a reservation in advance, you won't be able to get a seat.

The private rooms on the second floor of the teahouse have a very good environment. Compared with the dense crowds by the pool, it is indeed a rare comfort.

Nie Yinniang is famous for her sword dance, but she is also familiar with various musical instruments and plays the flute very well.

After playing the flute,

Chen Sheng praised her repeatedly and poured her a glass of wine.

She was also very bold and bold, killing her in one go. Chen Sheng liked this attitude very much. Although he was a slave of the Li family, he followed Li Dejiang, the second son of Li, since he was a child, and Li Dejiang was a young man who wanted to be a ranger. , it is best to make friends, Chen Sheng also developed the chivalrous habit of children in the world,
Nie Yinniang liked him very much.

The two of them stopped drinking tea and drank in the private room of the tea house, chatting while drinking.

Nie Yinniang has a good drinker, and Chen Sheng is also a good drinker. A jar of good Jinsu pear wine, the two of them drank it happily.

Although it is fruit wine, it can be intoxicating if you drink too much. In his drunken state, Chen Sheng also inquired about the two potential consorts, Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu.

"Is this why Chen Lang came here?" Nie Yinniang stared at him with bright eyes.

"Just chatting." Chen Sheng laughed.

Nie Yinniang poured Chen Sheng another glass of wine, then poured herself a glass, drank it all in one gulp, and put down the glass. She looked at Chen Sheng and said, "I have a few questions that I would like to ask Mr. Chen first."

"You ask."

"Sister Forresta arrived in Guangzhou, are you okay?"

"It's good. She gave birth to a pair of twins there, a son and a daughter. They were very cute. Moreover, Wu Xiangguo had already made an engagement for them. One was chosen from the Chen family in Longzhou, Lingnan, and the other was from Qinzhou, Lingnan. The Ning family are all wealthy families."

Nie Yinniang smiled after hearing this, "I'm so happy for Sister Afu,"

She poured herself another glass of wine, but this time she only took a sip.

"I know that Alang used to be from the Yongkang Palace, and your sister was originally a slave of the Yongkang Palace. Later, she met Wu Xiangguo and became his first concubine."

"You guys are as lucky as Sister Afu."

"Actually, you don't have a crush on me, you just want to inquire about something, right? I can see it, and I know what you want to inquire about. I did hear something, and I can tell you, but you You have to agree to my request."

When Chen Sheng heard this, he became serious.

He looked at this woman carefully. She was so young, but who knew she could say such a thing? It was very surprising.

"You said."

"Take me away and redeem my life. I am willing to be your concubine. When you return to Guangzhou, I will follow you to Guangzhou."

Chen Sheng pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

Nie Yinniang picked up the wine glass and said, "Drink and drink."

Chen Sheng also picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Putting down his wine glass, Chen Sheng looked at Nie Yinniang expectantly.

Her face was flushed, but she was not drunk. In his expectant eyes, she said three names.

"Qin Ying, Wei Lingfu, Cheng Xin,"

"These three names are definitely what Chen Lang wants, and they will not disappoint you. However, Chen Lang must also keep his promise. Remember to redeem the slave, take the slave as a concubine, and take the slave to Guangzhou!"

Qin Ying, Wei Lingfu, and Cheng Xin got three names, but Chen Sheng was a little confused because he had no impression and didn't know who they were.

Nie Yinniang smiled, "I heard Chai Lingwu and Fang Yiai talk about these three people several times after drinking. I only know that the three of them are now the most favored people of the Prince of the East Palace. The prince also favored these three people too much, which made the saint dissatisfied. ,"

When Chen Sheng heard this, his eyes widened and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

Li Dejiang has been back to Chang'an for a long time, but he has not found out anything about it. It involves the East Palace, the emperor, the prince and his son, so it is difficult for outsiders to find out. Everything is kept secret, and if you are not careful, you will get into trouble.

He never expected that Nie Yinniang would give him such a big surprise.
Excited heart, shaking hands,

Chen Sheng poured himself another cup and drank it all. It was a great harvest. Li Dejiang had really found his direction.

"I'm going to find your fake mother right now and tell her about the redemption."

"Mr. Chen, don't be in a hurry. Let's watch the dragon boat first, and then go watch the polo later. When we return to the city, I will ask my mother to come and talk to you about redemption."

On the Dragon Boat Festival, the dragon boat race in Qujiang Pool is very lively.
The subsequent Chang'an Super Polo League all-star exhibition match was even more exciting, but Chen Sheng was no longer in the mood. He accompanied Nie Yinniang, but his heart was still planning.

When he returned to Chang'an in the afternoon, he mentioned the redemption of Yinniang to his fake mother Nie, "I want to redeem Yinniang and take her as my concubine. Just tell me how much it costs."

The fake mother hesitated, although she had vaguely expected it, but when it came to this point, she was actually very reluctant to let go. Yinniang was really making money now, and it was not easy to cultivate her for many years. She really didn't want to let go now.

But she had already found out Chen Sheng's identity. He was a fifth-rank Sima of the Guangzhou Governor's Office, but his official position was not high. But he has a strong backing. He was once just a slave of Li Jing's family, but now he is the brother of Wu Huaiyu's concubine. The most important thing is that he has been following Wu Huaiyu all the way up in these years. He is Wu Huaiyu's confidant, not just his concubine's brother.

Wu Xiangguo's face must be given, otherwise she will not be able to stay in Chang'an.

After thinking about this, she finally sighed and said, "Since Chen Erlang can like Yin Niang, it is her blessing. As for the rest, it is easy to talk about."

Chen Sheng nodded, made an appointment to discuss it in detail tomorrow, and hurried to find Li Dejiao.

Wei Lingfu, Qin Ying, and Cheng Xin, these three names have been obtained. Now they have to figure out who these three people are, why they are favored by the prince, and why the emperor is dissatisfied with the East Palace because of this.

Li Dejia Li Ergongzi has been with Lady Gongsun today.

Mrs. Gongsun admired Mr. Li very much. Mr. Li served as a chivalrous man for many years in Chang'an, and his reputation as a chivalrous man spread far and wide. After a few years in Liumen, he made friends all over the world, and Mr. Li was known as a chivalrous man everywhere. Gongsun's wife is good at dancing with swords. Although she is in the dust,

But like Zhang Chuchen, the mother of Mr. Li, he also has a chivalrous spirit.

When Chen Sheng found Li Dejiao, he also got the three names from Lady Gongsun, and he even knew more.

Wei Lingfu and Qin Ying are both Taoist priests, and Chengxin is a musical boy in Taichang Temple. He is handsome and good at singing and dancing...
