Fenghua husband and splendid wife

Chapter 437 Confession of love! (4)
Qian Xia nodded dubiously, as if she remembered something again, "No! Since it was done by Sang Qiu Zirui's people, then Song Jianing?"

"If he doesn't let go, how can she escape? Besides, she escaped to Mei Qianfang and was saved by his hero?" Mu Liunian said with a contemptuous smile in his eyes, "Say In the end, it was just to use Song Jianing to get an opportunity to get close to the Mei family."

Qian Xia was stunned for a while, "Then Mei Qianfang, did you make the move, or did he make the move?"

Mu Liunian immediately became a little arrogant, "Does this son seem like a person who likes to do such dirty tricks? To be honest, if it wasn't because the way he looked at you at that time was so unfashionable, I'm afraid Sangqiu Zirui would not There might be a rush to make a move."

"Uh?"

"Ahem! Well, I admit that I also had this thought at the time, but since someone is willing to be the young bird, why don't I give them a chance? Besides, the reason why Mei Qianfang suddenly behaved like this is not only It's just because of Sangqiu Zirui's shot, a large part of the reason is that Mei Qianfang's diet has already gone wrong."

"Did Song Jianing do it?"

"That's right! Song Jianing thought that she had done a perfect job, and that the medicine she used was just to make Mei Qianfang unable to leave her, so that she could be carried into Mei's mansion as a concubine as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, there In addition to making Mei Qianfang more infatuated with her, there is also an ingredient of chronic poison. In other words, even Song Jianing herself has been used by others, and she doesn't even know it."

Qian Xia shook her head, "I think I'm smart, this Song Jianing, like her mother, always thinks that others are fools, and only their mother and daughter are the smartest people in the world. I really think that no matter how I plot against others, Will others be indifferent? It's unreasonable!"

"However, it seems that Sangqiu Zirui really hated Mei Qianfang, so he acted ahead of time, making him lose face in front of others and lose his status. At the same time, he put all the reasons behind Song Jianing aside. I What I'm curious about now is, how does he plan to use Song Jianing in the future?"

The two had a simple dinner together. It was simple, with four dishes and one soup, everything was exquisite and delicious, especially the ganoderma chicken soup, which was really suitable for Qianxia's appetite, and it took two bowls to give up.

Mu Liunian didn't speak, and ordered someone to write this down in private, and rewarded the cook who made this chicken soup with 50 taels of silver, and directly transferred her back to Changping Palace.

"Let's go, let's go down to appreciate the lanterns first, and take a walk along the way to digest food."

Qian Xia nodded, eating too much at night would be bad for the stomach, if she went to bed early, it would be harmful but not beneficial to the body.

The two went down to the attic, and Qian Xia wore the fiery red cloak again.

"Although it's the first month, the wind is still very cool this morning and night. If you suffer from wind and cold in this season, it is not suitable to recover."

"En." Qian Xia responded verbally, and tightened the cloak with her hands.

After seeing that there are red lights hanging everywhere in this garden, there are various kinds, such as palace lanterns, gauze lanterns, flower blue lanterns, dragon and phoenix lanterns, angular lanterns, tree ground lanterns, fireworks lanterns, mushroom lanterns and so on.

Qian Xia is simply dazzled!
"You actually held a lantern festival in this garden? Oh my god! Don't you worry that if the news spreads to the palace, the emperor will hate you even more?"

"No! The emperor is too happy to say anything! Only when I don't do my job properly can he feel at ease."

"I heard that this palace lantern looks simple, not as beautiful and unique as other lanterns, but its production is very complicated. It mainly uses carved wood, bamboo, and copper as the skeleton, and then inlaid with gauze, glass or Horn slices, on which are painted landscapes, flowers and birds, fish and insects, figures, etc. Just to make a palace lantern, I am afraid it will take a few days. I saw so many palace lanterns hanging in your yard. How much manpower and material resources will be consumed?"

"It's okay. This palace lantern is not something that ordinary people can afford. It is only during the Lantern Festival every year that the common people can appreciate it. In fact, how can the palace lanterns on the streets outside be compared with the real ones?" On par with those in the palace?"

As Mu Liunian said, he reached out and took down a low-hanging palace lantern, "Look, the palace lantern I had someone make is made of high-quality ebony wood. aroma?"

Qian Xia sniffed it closer, and nodded in surprise, "Isn't it wasteful to use such precious wood to make lamps?"

"Hehe, what is this? You know, most of the top-grade palace lanterns are inlaid with emerald jade or white jade. The shapes of palace lanterns are very rich, including square, hexagonal, octagonal, round beads, flower baskets, Fangsheng and many other varieties, especially represented by hexagonal palace lanterns. This square palace lantern is also the most common in the palace. Just one palace lantern is enough to cover the expenses of a family of three outside the folks for several years."

Qian Xia was stunned, she knew the luxury of the palace, although she didn't enter the palace many times, but no matter which palace she went to, it was extraordinarily gorgeous.As for a small palace lantern, she has never paid attention to it before. She never thought that the cost of this palace lantern is so expensive, and it is embedded with jade?
Qian Xia shook her head, comparing the luxury of the imperial palace with the sufferings of the common people, it is simply the comparison between heaven and hell!

"The wine and meat of Zhumen stinks, and the roads are frozen to death. The prosperity of Liangcheng is just a blind eye. The refugee riots in the south of the Yangtze River may only be in the past few days. And, Qianqian, I just got a bad According to the news, I heard that this time, there are also a large number of refugees in Yunzhou. Most of them are some poor local people, because they really can't eat enough, there is no other way, they can only abandon their families and businesses, and beg everywhere for a living."

As Mu Liunian said, his eyes flickered, "I know you have a different kind of affection for Yunzhou. Moreover, you have always had a good impression of Fang's family. Now Yunzhou is basically a member of the Fang family. In control, if you want to intervene, I will give the order."

"Yunzhou is not rich at all, and it is very close to Qianxue Country. Back then, Yunzhou fell into Qianxue's hands. Later, if it was not for Qianxuehuang's kindness, Yunzhou would never have returned Zi Ye's hands. It's just that Yunzhou has not been valued by the court for so many years, and Kangding has not been seen for more than a hundred years. I don't know, what did the Zi Ye emperors of the past think?"

"It's very simple! It's because Yunzhou is too close to Qianxue, so the emperors of all dynasties did not pay attention to Yunzhou's economy, but only paid attention to the deployment of troops outside Yunzhou. Once there is a war with Qianxue, then the people of Yunzhou , will naturally be anxious. If defeated, Yunzhou is bound to fall again. So, how can Emperor Ziye attach importance to its wealth or not?"
