Rebirth Nunnery

Chapter 68 Longevity Festival

He opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter with just a glance.

The letter was very simple, just asking her to try to attract the attention of the palace after she entered Yunyuefang.

"Arouse the attention of the palace? Could it be that guy's target, and that one too?"

The corner of Ding Jiayi's mouth twitched, revealing a cold smile.

After burning the letter casually, even the ashes of the paper were messed up, Ding Jiayi stood up and stretched.

"In three days?"

Looking in the direction of the door, Ding Jiayi's eyes flashed a strange brilliance.

……

In Shangjing, besides New Year's Eve and Dragon Boat Festival, the most lively festivals of the year are Longevity Festival and Qianqiu Festival.

Qianqiu Festival is the birthday of the empress, while Wanshou Festival is the birthday of the current emperor.

Although the empress is weak and sick, she has not appeared to preside over the Qianqiu Festival for several years, but the annual Wanshou Festival is still extremely lively and lively.

The Wanshou Festival is at the beginning of October, and there is still more than a month left, but the whole of Shanghai has already begun preparations.

Ding Jiayi brought three maids into the capital, and they couldn't help being attracted by the prosperity of the capital.

Even Ding Jiayi couldn't help admiring secretly when he saw the commotion everywhere.

If Qingzhou City is lazy and elegant, then this Shangjing is a noble and luxurious beauty.

It is no wonder that the people living in Shangjing feel proud and proud from the bottom of their hearts. This kind of pride and pride is absolutely not found in other places.

Looking at all kinds of people on the street, Ding Jiayi could not see any hesitation or confusion on their faces.

"Miss, where are we going first?"

Hongyi beside her still remembered their purpose, so she couldn't help asking.

At this time, Ding Jiayi was wearing a simple white dress and a bamboo hat veil, just like when she first came to Qingzhou City, with a sense of mystery, but the people around her had changed.

"Let's go to the Jinxiu store first! How can I say that I still have the status of a relative of the Jin family, but I have come to Shangjing, and I have to pay a visit to make sense."

Ding Jiayi said casually, but her voice was extremely low.

Sister Cha has already had a new identity given to her. In name, Ding Jiayi is the concubine of the Jin family's distant relatives, and she will only come to Beijing to perform for this Wanshou Festival.

With Jinse around, Ding Jiayi is not worried that she will reveal her secrets. Jinse is a true member of the Jin family and is very familiar with everything about the Jin family.

Hearing what Ding Jiayi said, Jinse took the lead and said, "The branch of Jinxiu Store in Shangjing is located on Xifang Street, so it's easy to find."

Ding Jiayi nodded, and led the three of them towards Xifang Street.

Xifang Street is the largest shopping street in Shangjing. There are many shops here, ranging from small shops to luxury shops. No matter the low-level people or the rich and powerful, they will come here to buy what they need.

The Jinxiu shop is owned by the Jin family, the first imperial merchant, and it has a huge facade, five or six times the size of other shops.The entire shop is divided into four areas, the easternmost is the Jinxiu Restaurant, the westernmost is the tea shop, and the middle is the silk and satin shop, the money shop and so on.

When he came to the gate of Jinxiu Store, Ding Jiayi seemed to see the commercial building in his previous life in a trance.

When the two waiters at the door saw Ding Jiayi and the others, they immediately came up to welcome them.

"Several girls, what do you want? We have a new batch of makeup here, maybe the girls want to take a look?"

The two mistresses had kind and humble smiles on their faces, but they didn't make people feel bored. This alone gave Ding Jiayi a higher level of understanding of the management of the Jin family.

"We're here to find someone." Jinse stepped forward and said.

"How many of you don't know who to look for?"

"Excuse me, is the senior officer here?"

When the two mistresses heard that they were looking for senior officials, they immediately showed respect and led Ding Jiayi and the others into the backyard of the bank.

Gao Shi is the chief manager of the Jin family's branch in Shangjing. It is said that he is the son of the Jin family and is extremely loyal.

Regarding the arrival of Ding Jiayi and his party, although the executive was a little puzzled, he did not show his eyes above the top, which made Ding Jiayi look at him differently.

Under the arrangement of the senior management, Ding Jiayi lived in a small courtyard in the alley behind the shop.

This small courtyard with gray walls and blue tiles looks very inconspicuous, and there are similar small courtyards around the main entrance, where some nearby traders or local civilians live.

Ding Jiayi was very satisfied with this small courtyard, and immediately asked Jinse to check the surroundings to prevent being peeped.

In Shangjing, where every inch of land is expensive, many people are envious of having a small courtyard. Although this small courtyard is small, it has all internal organs. In addition to a main room and two side rooms, there is also a small courtyard. The kitchen and bathroom room, which surprised Ding Jiayi a little.

The maids quickly got busy. Hong Yi and Lan Xin both came from poor families, and they worked very quickly. Although Jin Se was a maid in Jin's family, she actually lived the life of a young lady and worked on the sidelines. Take a look.

"Miss, I have checked around. The next two people live in Jinxiu Shop's servants and the like, and there are merchants' homes nearby. I have written down their appearance and information, and I will let Sister Cha go there later. Check the specific situation." Standing in the yard, Jinse said in a low voice.

Ding Jiayi nodded slightly, looking around the yard.

"This will be our base in Shangjing in the future. We must ensure everything is safe, Jinse, and I will leave this to you. This time, I entrust my safety to your hands again. Don't let me down again. "

Ding Jiayi's tone was very light, but the meaning contained in it made Jinse's heart shudder.

"Miss, don't worry, since Jinse has signed the deed of selling herself, she will naturally spare no effort."

The two said a few more casual words, while Hong Yi and Lan Xin walked out of the room with smiles on the other side.

"Miss, it's almost done. The servant girl and Lan Xin should cook first?" Hong Yi said first.

Ding Jiayi shook his head, looked around, and was in a good mood: "No need, on the first day, let's go out to eat, so we should clean ourselves up."

Let's talk, Ding Jiayi went back to the house and took the cloak and hat, asked a few maids to tidy up by the way, then locked the courtyard and went out.

It is now the end of summer and early autumn, and the weather in Shangjing is always extremely cool. Ding Jiayi didn't find someone from Jinxiu Shop to accompany her, but went out by herself, just to see the atmosphere of Shangjing with her own eyes.

The four masters and servants are all young, and Hong Yi and Lan Xin are from small places. When they came to Shangjing for the first time, they felt that their eyes were not enough.Even Jinse seldom went out for shopping. After a while, the four of them bought a lot of things.

The last four of them stopped at a restaurant called Dingxianglou, planning to go back after lunch.

The waiter went upstairs to welcome the four of them, and stayed in a private room.

Just after ordering, Ding Jiayi suddenly saw a familiar figure walking up the stairs.

"that is not……"

Ding Jiayi was startled, and hurried back to the box.

The group of three didn't notice Ding Jiayi, and walked into the private room inside talking and laughing.

Seeing Ding Jiayi's unsteady expression, Jinse couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Miss, what's the matter?"

"I seem to see Mo Xiangqin."

Ding Jiayi said with some uncertainty.

The glance just now was too hasty, and she didn't look carefully, but the image from the back was very similar to Mo Xiangqin, but her temperament had changed.

In Ding Jiayi's impression, Mo Xiangqin was a dark, ruthless, and somewhat crazy man, but the man who just walked past was exceptionally calm, calm, and gentle.

"Miss, are you sure you read it right?" Jinse was also puzzled, "Isn't that kid Mo Xiangqin with Luo Chengfeng? Since he appeared in Shangjing, it's hard to guarantee that Luo Chengfeng is also nearby."

Ding Jiayi also thought of this. She hadn't seen Mo Xiangqin since the last time she was in Prince Qing's Mansion. At that time, Mo Xiangqin must have reached some kind of deal with Luo Chengfeng.

However, Mo Xiangqin appeared in Shangjing in a grand manner, which made Ding Jiayi puzzled.

As a result, because of this sudden incident, Ding Jiayi didn't like the taste of this meal, and left in a hurry.

Back in the small courtyard, Ding Jiayi immediately asked Jinse to notify Sister Cha.

Sister Cha has been staying in the villa outside Beijing, and has not entered the city. Her current status is not the manager of Jinxiu Shop, but is responsible for collecting all kinds of information about Beijing.

At the beginning, Ding Jiayi suspected that Lin Yin was from the Jin family, but later he confirmed that he and the Jin family should be using each other. They overlap each other, but they are not the same, and this intelligence system is probably the key to the transaction between them. .

And Ding Jiayi has also confirmed that Sister Cha is from Lin Yin, not from the Jin family, and Sister Cha's status as a steward in Qingzhou City is just a cover-up.

Thinking of this, Ding Jiayi couldn't help feeling annoyed again.

"That damn guy, always playing mystery!"

Angrily slapping the table, Ding Jiayi cursed subconsciously.

But at this moment, when Cao Cao arrived, the light at the door was suddenly blocked by a tall figure.

"Why do I hear you speak ill of me behind my back every time?"

A joking voice followed, and Ding Jiayi suddenly raised his head in shock.

Seeing that familiar figure, for some reason, Ding Jiayi suddenly felt strong dissatisfaction and sourness.

"Break into other people's homes for no reason. Believe it or not, I'll go to the government and sue you?"

After blurting out a word, Ding Jiayi looked at Lin Yin with beautiful eyes and resentment.

Lin Yin raised his eyebrows, and walked forward carelessly: "I'm afraid Jing Zhaoyin won't accept you, this is Shangjing."

"Hmph! Scoundrel!"

Ding Jiayi snorted coldly, turned her head away, and stopped looking at her.

It's just that she doesn't know that her appearance is very similar to that jealous and vexatious little woman.

Lin Yin walked around to the other side, leaning in front of Ding Jiayi, her thin lips slightly raised under the mask, breathing out lightly.

"Don't you think it's funny that Xiaosheng is such a rascal?"

Hearing what he said, Ding Jiayi couldn't help but burst out laughing, trying to put on a straight face but couldn't.

"Master Lin, how many women have you said this to? I'm not that kind of casual woman, please be serious."
