business lady

Chapter 2 The dark tide is surging
In March in Yangchun, when the grass grows and the warbler flies.The green willow sprouts new buds, and the lake is as blue as waves.

In Duanwang Mansion, the scenery is even more beautiful, and spring is booming everywhere.

Brown hurriedly walked through the rockery gardens, towers, pavilions and pavilions. Along the way, people greeted each other without answering. They just walked over in a hurry, thinking as they walked: Miss, what happened in the palace yesterday, and she didn’t tell me when she came back. Rumors are flying everywhere, but what should I do?Even if I can't help, it's better than hearing it all of a sudden, being caught off guard, it's like a bolt from the blue.

When we got to the nine-curved corridor on the lake, we stopped, looked at the center of the lake, and then walked quickly. This corridor extends to the pavilion in the center of the lake.

When you approach the pavilion, you can see that there is a word written on the pillar of the pavilion. On the right side, it says: Qingfeng Mingyue is priceless. On the left side: Near water and far mountains have love. There is a plaque above the pavilion, which reads: Water Moon Pavilion
In the center of the pavilion is a stone table and bench, and there are pastry and tea sets on the table.Inside the pavilion stood a noble lady, wearing a scarlet wide-sleeved gown with black piping on the cuffs and embroidered auspicious cloud patterns with gold silk, a black brocade on her waist, and a jade ring hanging on it, hidden in the hem of the clothes, occasionally The wind blows out, and the word "Duan" is engraved inside the ring. The lady is facing the lake, holding a jade bowl with some bait in her hand. She is feeding the fish in the lake, followed by two There are women in blue spring shirts, one elegant and the other beautiful.

Tan Se entered the pavilion, made a blessing, and said: "Miss, I have already told Caiyifang that the next season's clothes are being rushed. It's just that I heard some rumors on the way back." Hesitating for a while, I didn't know what to say, so I looked up at the lady.

The noble lady didn't turn her head or answer the words, she sprinkled bait to feed the fish.She waited for a while, and seeing that the lady had no intention of asking, she said what she had just heard on the street.The two women in Tsing Yi who heard it looked angry, and the beautiful woman said angrily: "These people are really too much, they don't know anything, they will only frame people." Although the other woman also looked angry, but With his head down, he was thinking about something.

Listening to her words, the noble lady sprinkled the crushed bait into the lake with a calm expression, not knowing what she was thinking.

The beautiful woman looked at her movements, and sighed in her heart, thinking: Miss is good at everything, but this is the difference. She has been in her heart since she was a child. I'm afraid I can't understand it.

Let’s talk about this time, I don’t know if the brown color and tea smell didn’t follow, but I and the tea smell went together.

Others said that she acted recklessly, talked nonsense after drinking, and didn't know the blessings in the blessings, but I knew that she had thought it through carefully, but I didn't expect that she would be ruined by the person who should not spoil it.

Miss must be very confused!
The lady looked at the fish struggling for food in the water, and fell into deep thought: What happened today was not unexpected, but I didn't expect it to develop so fast. It seems that someone is behind the push. There are only a few people who think they are blocking the way, but they don't know who are outside.It's no wonder that they are like this, if I am afraid I will not miss this opportunity.It is also myself, giving them the opportunity to suppress themselves.

I can't help thinking that three years ago, my father was still there, the merchant was also there, and I was still a lady of the merchant's house, and there were no such bad things. At that time, my biggest worry was that I must recruit a good son-in-law for the merchant. .

When she was very young, she knew that she was going to support the roof of the business in the future, and she couldn't let the business fall into her hands, so she didn't dare to relax for a moment. When other girls were studying poetry, she was studying business economics. , when the girl from another family went to the garden for a spring break, she was wandering among various shops, even if the outside world spread the bad news about herself, she didn't care, she just hoped not to see disappointment in her father's eyes.

She had planned everything, but she didn't want an imperial decree to marry her to Prince Duan as his concubine. The moment she received the decree, she was like a bolt from the blue, and then her father, who hadn't returned all night, came back and looked at her and said guiltily , He originally wanted to ask the emperor to find a lover for her, but because he made a slip of the tongue after drinking, he confronted the emperor, saying that his daughter was not good enough for anyone, and neither was the emperor's son. The emperor made this decree in a moment of anger.

Jiuyuan smiled wryly in his heart when he heard this, but he never thought that his marriage would be a dispute between emotions after drunkenness.

Which girl is not pregnant, when she first entered Duan Wang's mansion and saw Duan Wang's handsome face, noble demeanor, and her husband, how could she not be moved at all, even if he left himself alone on the wedding night, he would still have illusions in his heart until he He was overheard in the garden saying to people in a light and sarcastic tone that she was just a merchant girl!Only then did she really stop thinking about it, and then she planned to leave Duanwang's mansion one day.

She snapped her wrist back suddenly, and poured all the bait in the jade bowl into the lake, and the fish in the lake became even more fierce in their struggle.

"You will never believe that I, Shang Jiuyuan, discarded the things you robbed each other like a shoe." She smiled and murmured before changing the tone: "However, I don't want to be robbed of the same thing. That's another story."

Turning around: "Tea fragrance." The beautiful woman stepped forward to take the jade bowl, and followed her out of the pavilion.

Bowenzhai, sitting north and facing south, is the study of Duanwangfu.

In the northeast corner of it is a bookshelf made of rosewood. The bookshelf is full of books, including poems and songs, the doctrine of the mean, universities, military books, and travel notes. They are all neatly arranged according to the categories of books. In different places, it can be seen that the owner of the book is a rigorous person;
To the west is a rosewood round table and four round stools. On the table is a tea tray with a pot of steaming tea and four upside-down teacups;
Next to the south window is a desk and a chair. On the table are the four treasures of the study: pen, ink, paper, inkstone, vibration paper and some memorials.

A man was sitting in front of the table, his ink-like hair tied up with a jade crown, wearing a black python robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a dragon-shaped jade pendant hanging from it. or frown, or meditate, and occasionally use a pen to make some comments on it.At this time, I heard noises coming from outside, from far to near.

The door of the creaking room was pushed open from the outside, and a man walked in. He was eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a white jacket and gray boots, and his blue silk was tied up high with a gray belt.

He was not polite when he came in, sat down on the stool, flipped over a cup, poured a cup of tea, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

He said: "Good tea, this should be the new tea of ​​this year! Your lord is so lucky! Now you can't buy it even if you have money in the market. Today, you can take some home for me to taste."

"Go to Shang Jiuyuan to ask for it." The prince didn't lift his head, he just looked at the memorial and said.

"Forget it." He said in a regretful tone, rolled his eyes again, hiccupped and said, "I heard a good show in Kelailou today, what I said is"

"If you want to say this, I already know." After the prince said this, he didn't say any more.

He looked at the prince, waited for a while, and found that he was ignored
"." And that's it.

Endured it, but still couldn't hold back: "What are you going to do?"

"What do you think?" He put down the memorial in his hand, looked at the man and raised his eyebrows.

He said in a disgusted tone: "These people are troublesome. They dare not do it clearly, and they are always making troubles in secret. It's better for me to be as good as I am, and I will be happy."

After finishing speaking, he frowned, as if thinking of something that caused headaches.

Seeing him like this, the prince said: "Okay, don't think about it if you can't think of it."

After hearing what he said, the man frowned, and said with a smile: "Then what should you do, tell me!"

"Return the body in the same way as the person."

"Be more specific," he asked.

"You'll know in a few days."

"." What? How can I sleep when I go back if you're so tricky.

"Is there anything else?" the prince asked.

"." He shook his head.

"Go home!" After finishing speaking, he picked up another memorial and read it.

Seeing that he was ignoring him, he stood up and said, "Forget me meddling in my own business" and left.

Seeing him leaving, King Duan sighed in his heart: Marshal Jiang is both civil and military, why doesn't this Jiang Yue learn a little bit, the Marshal's mansion will be in his hands in the future. That's all, he will take care of him a little more in the future.
