prince's rivers and lakes

Chapter 45
In order to concentrate the passenger flow, on the day of the opening of Cishu Xianfang, the main building of Huancai Pavilion was closed, and all the beautiful girls were sent to Cishu Xianfang.

Those who are not far behind are still scattered in the surrounding restaurants and restaurants to solicit customers, creating a bustling and lively scene.

The dandies, scribes, merchants and common people in Longyin City who have already heard the news, come to try new things if they want to try something new, and watch the excitement if they want to.

There are also idlers and bachelors who want to find some opportunities to make fun of in the crowd, but they are thrown into the Nanhuai River by Zhang Daiqing. He has already got the little lady who pushed the window. Refreshing, high-spirited.

Zhang Daiqing also checked the water hoses used to fetch water and put out fires. Attics at this time were basically built near water, so that water could be fetched nearby in case of fire.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the auspicious time.

Rong Qingshu was full of ambition, and his eyes caught him. Whether it was a rich businessman with a big belly, a wealthy gentry in good clothes, or even a commoner with a little spare money, they were all just money bags for walking.

It won't be long before they will willingly give up all their net worth for the red poppy ointment, and the bulging money bags will be emptied and filled with Rong Qingshu's treasury.

With money in hand, being able to provide more support for certain needs of the Rong family, Rong Qingshu's status in the Rong family will naturally increase.

If he reached the state of Princess Langya, he could even go in and out of the palace frequently, and his words in front of the queen mother would be very important. At that time, he would only care about the three princes when he was in the Rong family.

"My lord, Mr. Fang is here."

The servants came to report, and Rong Qingshu went out to meet the guests.

Today congratulatory people came in droves, and there were not many opportunities to walk with the Rong family, even if it was just the Qinlou Chu Pavilion opened by the disciples of the Rong family, all the officials in the court, and the famous families of the high clan in Longyin City gave enough face.

Even if the person didn't arrive, they would send their servants to give gifts. Even the gift lists of the prince's mansion, the duke's mansion, and the marquis' mansion are not uncommon. The warehouse is full of all kinds of gift boxes. The precious ones were first transferred to Rong Qingshu's residence to fill in the blanks.

If he didn't even have such a face, the young people in Jianyuan would not have the confidence and courage to listen to his advice and go to impeach Prince Langya's son.

Fang Zhishan's gift didn't take up much space. He brought Rong Qingshu a pair of words written by his father Fang Duwei, which made Rong Qingshu overjoyed.

You must know that Fang Duwei's congratulations on the birthdays of His Majesty, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Empress are nothing more than calligraphy and painting.

The painting for the empress is said to have been painted for several months, and the inscriptions are much simpler, but Rong Qingshu does not want to compare with the empress.

"Please trouble Master." Rong Qingshu smiled.

People who knew that Fang Zhishan was the prime minister's eldest son saluted him one after another.

Fang Zhishan didn't put on airs, and responded in a gentle manner.

Rong Qingshu introduced the names and backgrounds of those worthy of support to Fang Zhishan, and if there were people with backgrounds, they would also talk about the glory of their ancestors.

Sima Xi also squeezed in among the crowd. He and Fang Zhishan drank together, so naturally he could say a few more words.

Rong Qingshu joked about Wen Wenli's past, as if he had never neglected or alienated Sima Xi.

Rong Qingshu failed to make an appointment at the last poetry meeting, which made Sima Xi feel very embarrassed.

But in Longyin City, only Rong Qingshu didn't give face to others, but Sima Xi couldn't help but give Rong Qing a letter, talking and laughing as usual.

The visitors to the Wanggonghou's Mansion basically left after giving gifts, and those who stayed in Cishu Xianfang to play were young people who gathered and played on weekdays, which also made the scene more lively.

Rong Qingshu knew that Fang Zhishan was not familiar with most of the people, and was about to arrange for him to rest in the private room, but Fang Zhishan asked, "Will someone come from Langya Palace?"

"How did Brother Fang know?" Rong Qingshu was a little surprised. When Ming Shiyin and Wei Liangzai came to Huancai Pavilion together, Rong Qingshu did invite them.

Ming Shiyin is well-known in the circle of scholars and talents in Longyin City.

Rong Qingshu's personal invitation is not considered a low profile, but as for Wei Liangzai, it is incidental.

Ming Shiyin and Wei Liangzai were flattered and agreed immediately.

"I met Mr. Ming on the road, and he followed Shizi's carriage."

"Come this way?"

"I chatted with Mr. Ming. He didn't reveal where the prince is going, but he is indeed coming to Cishu Fairy. They drive slowly and stop and go, so I will take a step first."

After Fang Zhishan finished speaking, he looked at Rong Qingshu with a little surprise, as if he was impressed by him.

Rong Qingshu knew the meaning in Fang Zhishan's eyes, so he naturally suspected that Rong Qingshu was so old that Prince Langya would come to congratulate him in person?

Normally it is impossible.

On the contrary, if there is any quarrel between the two parties, in order to eliminate the grievances, Langya Wang Shizi sincerely lowered his figure and came to congratulate himself, which is a reasonable reason.

Rong Qingshu enjoyed the look in Fang Zhishan's eyes, but he couldn't believe that Qin Shouan would come in person.

After all, that is the son... If the two parties are not very friendly, then only the Duke of the Rong family can let the son come forward in person.

Rong Qingshu still thought about it, while chatting with Fang Zhishan, he sent someone to watch on the road, to see if the flags of the chariots and horses of Prince Langya's mansion were coming to Cishu Fairy Square.

After a while, Song Ludao came to report overjoyed that the carriages and horses of the palace had arrived at Qianjie, and the first officer was clearing the way to Cishu Xianfang.

"Brother Fang, come with me and wait for your grandson to come." Rong Qingshu said to Fang Zhishan with a little complacency.

Rong Qingshu dared to use the admonishment court to impeach Qin Shou'an only because of the Rong family's unparalleled limelight and power, but for him personally, it was still a very honorable thing for Qin Shou'an to support him.

After all, among the other mansions of the upper third rank, none of the princes, father-in-law and marquis came in person.

"You, you, you are always able to make the most of the situation." Fang Zhishan said in admiration.

"Oh? How do you say it?" Rong Qingshu had a half-smile.

"I won't tell you, lest you get too complacent." Fang Zhishan knew that Rong Qingshu was in high spirits, and he was already in high spirits.

Playing and laughing as if he couldn't understand him, he waved his hands, but still followed Rong Qingshu to the building of Cishu Xianfang.

When everyone saw Fang Zhishan and Rong Qingshu came out to wait, they couldn't help being suspicious, who must be the Lord Hou, come here in person?

There was a commotion ahead, after the pioneer officer on a tall horse cleared the way, twenty or thirty government soldiers carried sweeping utensils and gold-plated silver buckets to clear the way.

The guards of the royal residence are armored and armed, riding horses, guarding the front, rear, left, and right sides. They can ride a six-person car to carve dragons and phoenixes.

Seeing the dragon flag of the royal family, everyone in the whole street bowed and saluted, holding their breath.

Rong Qingshu's expression was reserved, neither humble nor overbearing, he regarded it as normal, but his heart was already ecstatic.

On this street, the shops are basically owned by him, and it is almost impossible for the prince to go to other places besides Cishu Xianfang when he comes here.

He speculated in his heart that Qin Shouan left Longyin City in his early years and came back as an adult. After understanding this period of time, he probably already knew the power of the Rong family.

Qin Shouan came here not for himself, but for the Rong family behind him, but this brilliance finally fell on his face.

It seems that Qin Shouan is still aware of current affairs, and the business of the red poppy herb ointment can still be continued.

Seeing the carriage approaching, Rong Qingshu hurriedly took a step forward, ready to wait for the carriage to stop, and then greeted the prince with his arms folded. The other party knew the current affairs, and of course Rong Qingshu was willing to respect him three points.

"roll!"

With a sound of scolding, a tiger-tailed gun hit him heavily on the shoulder, knocking Rong Qingshu staggering, backed back into the crowd, and almost hit the stone lion directly.

"Presumptuous, you dare to offend the guard of honor, do you want to die!"

It was Wei Liangzai who made the move. He rode on the horse, and after knocking Rong Qingshu away with a shot, a bright light flashed in his eyes, as if he had already spared the net, he snorted coldly and ignored Rong Qing who was about to fall to the ground Book.

Rong Qingshu was about to vomit blood, and he invited Wei Liangzai to join him that day, Wei Liangzai's humble appearance with a smile on his face seemed to be not the person in front of him at all.

As for Ming Shiyin, he followed behind the car, smiling but turned a blind eye to Rong Qingshu, and greeted Fang Zhishan instead.

Song Ludao, Cui Yuangui, and Zhang Daiqing hurriedly supported Rong Qingshu. How had they ever seen Rong Qingshu suffer?
Immediately, he was angry, and subconsciously prepared to yell, but he reacted immediately and covered the opponent's mouth tightly.

Afraid that his usual unrestrained companions would come out of his mouth, he watched the ceremonial guards of honor passing by slowly, with cars and passengers embracing each other, and dragon flags waving.

The guard of honor of Prince Langya didn't pause at all in front of Cishu Fairy Square, turning a blind eye to the guests who came out to welcome them out of affection, and then gradually disappeared at the end of the front street.

"Didn't you come to cheer for Cishu Xianfang?"

"What are you thinking? That's Langya Palace!"

"It seems that there was no one in the carriage just now."

"Empty carriage? To tease people on purpose?"

"Who knows...Young Master Rong is too embarrassing this time..."

All kinds of jokes and sarcasm were buzzing in his ears, Rong Qingshu's eyes were wide open, and he turned his head suddenly, but saw that everyone was silent and no one spoke at all.

Only then did Rong Qingshu turn his head away, but those mocking words and voices rang in his ears again.

There are disturbances, such as buzzing of bees, and bursts of thunder.

He turned around again, and what greeted him was still only people's eyes and expressions with different meanings, and no one opened his mouth to touch his brow.

Rong Qingshu felt dizzy, everyone's expressions turned into distorted sneering faces, and the illusory sarcasm in his head made his face red and bloodshot.

"Brother Rong?"

Fang Zhishan pushed away Cui Yuangui and the others, and walked up to Rong Qingshu, showing concern and relief:
"Could it be that Prince Langya doesn't recognize you? Let's catch up and ask what's going on. What if he just went too far?"

Fang Zhishan...you...you Fang Zhishan!
Rong Qingshu stretched out his fingers and trembled slightly, his throat was sweet, and he seemed to be so angry at Fang Zhishan's words that he was about to vomit blood, he tried to stand upright, looked up and saw the dazzling sunlight in the sky, but his eyes were dark.
