chapter Ten

lover

Ji Si lazily leaned on the window railing, her eyes swept over the storyteller in the restaurant. The recent story was told as "the romantic scholar, the pretty flower queen".

The storyteller knocked on the board, shaking his head and shaking his head: "The oiran once fell into poverty, and paid wrongly all his life, so the scholar cheated money and sex, and finally married the princess in the capital. She has a successful career, but she has forgotten her miserable life of giving up all the ransom money.people."

Although this story is old-fashioned, there are many people who like to listen to it. During the period, there was a lot of shouting and cursing.Voice: "Girl, your master doesn't care about you either."

Ji Si lazily propped her face up, her gaze remained motionless.

"Girl, since your master is so ungrateful and ungrateful, you just follow me. I will go home with you and be a concubine, okay?"

"Fuck you, you are really shameless for such a beauty to be your concubine!"

The accountant dialed the abacus behind the counter, looked at Ji Si, then at the overcrowded lobby, shook his nose and laughed twice.Previously, when there was no character like Ji Si in this Tongfu Inn, many of the guests who came here to eat and drink tea scolded the prostitute in this story for being ignorant of good and evil, saying that she hindered the scholar's future and so on.

There was a noise, and the waiter with a handkerchief on his shoulder came in, "The shopkeeper! The shopkeeper—"

The shopkeeper came out from the backyard, "What's the matter?"

Xiaoer said loudly: "A horse came outside the door. It was not harnessed to the cart. I don't know whose horse it is. It is guarding the door and will not go away."

The shopkeeper put down his sleeves and followed Xiaoer out, "Horse? What kind of horse?"

Xiao Er said: "The whole body is black and shiny, and the hair is like silk and satin, but it has suffered a lot of injuries..."

On the second floor, Ji Si looked sideways and remembered something.

The shopkeeper went out with Xiao Er, and saw a man in a short coat pulling the tail of a fine horse, and three or five people gathered by the roadside, pointing at him.

The man dragged so hard that he was out of breath, and the horse didn't move at all. He raised his hind legs leisurely and smacked his lips twice, which made the grown man helpless.

"What are you doing!" Xiao Er sputtered, and stepped forward to slam people.

The man wiped his sweat and shouted: "It's none of your business, I'll lead my own horse!"

"Fuck you, this horse doesn't have a rope or saddle, if you say it's yours, it's yours?" Xiaoer said.

The man was proud: "Even if there is no lanyard to cover the saddle, it is not yours. Can you control it?"

Xiao Er: "You—"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let him take it away, we still have to do business."

Seeing this, the man was even more proud, and rolled up his sleeves to prepare for another fight.

"It's called Xuanzhi."

Suddenly, a woman in fur robe appeared at the door.

Xiaoer and the shopkeeper turned their heads, "Girl."

Ji Si nodded and said to the man, "This is my horse."

Seeing Ji Si, the man sneered, "Why does everyone want my horse?"

Xiao Er snorted, "This horse is yours anyway!"

Man: "What? Is it your fault? Do you have evidence to prove that this is your horse?"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Ji Si held her lips and said, "Come here."

The horse shook its tail, and the horse's tail came out of the man's hand. It kicked the man to the ground with its hind legs, and walked a few steps in the direction of Ji Si obediently.The horse that no one can shout to go can actually listen to Ji Si's words. It is already clear who is the director of this horse.

The man blushed, fell to the ground and yelled: "Your horse kicked me, you can't just walk away!"

"Tut tut."

There were voices of disgust from all around, Ji Si didn't even look at this man, she stretched out her hand from her sleeve and flicked it casually, a piece of silver hit the man's forehead in the middle of his heart.

The man groaned and wanted to swear again, but when he saw the pieces of silver falling on his robe, he could only swear and get up and leave.

Ji Si said to Xiao Er, "Take me to the backyard to feed some hay and water, and then go find a veterinarian."

Xiao Er was stunned for a long time, and recovered from his dullness when he heard the words, "Oh, here."

The shopkeeper also secretly felt that Ji Si was not like an ordinary woman, so he hurriedly said, "I'm going to feed the horses, come and find a veterinarian!"

"Thank you."

Ji Si nodded and went back upstairs.

As the first day is approaching, various state capitals have entered Beijing one after another, fragrant cars and BMWs are winding into dragons, and the common people gather at the gate of the city every day to look at the long chariots and horses.Look at the characters on the carriage lanterns to distinguish which states, counties or princes entered Beijing, and then look at the number of carriages and horses to guess the degree of harvest and tax revenue in various places.

More than half of these chariots, horses and belongings are annual tribute paid by the local government to the Capital. Troops are sent from all over the country to escort them. After arriving in Beijing, things are sent to the treasury.people.

From this, the people guessed which fiefdom paid the most money this year. Naturally, whoever paid more taxes would be more dignified, and whoever was an official in Beijing would have more money and the right to speak.

What has been seen recently, will be publicized in the future. Therefore, when various places enter Beijing, they can hardly hide their selfishness by paying taxes.

Shufeng Hall was also approaching the grand meeting on the first day, and the princes went to Beijing to get a lot of good things from all over the world, and carried them into the princess' treasury like water.

At night, a copper lamp was lit in the princess treasury, and the halo of light in the whole room often changed its direction.

Xiao Taozi held up a lamp, and every time Qin Jun changed his movements, Xiao Taozi shone the lamp in front of her.

On Qin Jun's lap was the detailed account book in the treasury, and under it were the gift lists from various houses and houses.

Outside the treasury, the palace people were still counting things all night, and after counting, one family moved in.

Qin Jun looked at the gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, old books and classics, and was surprised for a moment.

It's a pity that Capital has fallen, and these things may become a dream.

Qin Jun thought for a while, and said to Jin Xiu that she wanted to exchange these things for money, "Clean Water Glass Terrace..."

Jin Xiu: "This is a gift from the concubine Ji on the birthday of the princess last year. The concubine cherishes it. I came to see it the month before last. It can't be sold."

Qin Jun groaned, sat on a box of gold and turned around on the spot, pointing with a pen to a long cup inlaid with green and carved with gluttonous gluttons on the cabinet shelf, glanced at the gift list, and said, "Where is the ivory cup inlaid with turquoise?"

Jin Xiu: "Antiques from the Shang Dynasty were given by the King of Zheng Guo in the past, and bestowed by His Majesty to the princess. They are priceless, and I am afraid that no one in Beijing will dare to accept them."

Qin Jun clicked his tongue, "Where are the gold, silver and jewelry?"

Little Taozi whispered: "Princess, the pure silver and gold are all in boxes, easy to count, the total is six thousand taels, four thousand gold, two thousand silver, the scattered silver is only recorded as the daily salary of the palace people, not the common people.Use copper coins, the Princess Mansion doesn’t have this... those pieces of silver, will they be called by two servants tomorrow?”

Qin Jun muttered to herself, "Not enough."

Xiao Taozi looked at Qin Jun suspiciously, and then at Jin Xiu suspiciously.

"There are no antique calligraphy and paintings to buy or sell?" Qin Jun asked, "Isn't this already given to me?"

Little Taozi muttered, "The princess has never sold her calligraphy and painting, what happened this time?"

"..."

Qin Jun glanced at the two with a guilty conscience, "I'm just talking about it, are you greedy for money?"

Jin Xiu: "Your servant will do it."

Qin Jun poked the brush on her chin, in troubled times, money and goods are the most in-demand items.

"Forget it," Qin Jun jumped out of the box, "Let's talk about it after the first month."

Qin Jun handed the pen and paper to the nanny who was guarding outside the warehouse, and took a pile of jewelry back to the room to play. If she had not received too many presents recently, she came back and checked the warehouse. She didn't know that the sixth princess was so valuable.money.

It would be great if could bring these antique treasures back to modern times, and the value of buying them at auctions would be doubled.There is no war in peacetime, sitting on mountains of gold and silver, can’t finish eating and drinking, buy, buy and buy every day, and then share some with good friends to eat together and wait to die, or raise seventeen or eight like a Qin BianThis beauty, after she dies, the rest of the money will be donated, and then...

Then, Ji Si's face suddenly appeared in Qin Jun's mind. She jumped from the tall building, feeling pain all over her body.Qin Jun shivered, woke up from the dream, and found that she was awakened by the jewels on the bed.

In a few days is the Yuanhui, the third prince returns to Beijing, Gao Dama leads the army into Beijing and the second prince who is in charge of the defense of the capital meets first, and the two rode their horses in the downtown area to win a prize together.The news spread into the palace that Qin Bian was receiving the princes who came to Beijing one after another in the Taiji Hall.

Qin Jun was helping Fengyi Pavilion, and the fourth prince was also arrested and went outside Duanmen to check the singing and dancing of the band that presented music on Yuanri.

Concubine Ji: "These emeralds were sent by the King of Wanzhou. They are available to concubines in the harem and the family members of officials above the first rank in the imperial court. Jun'er, you choose the one you like first, and I will distribute the rest to other empresses."

Qin Jun listened to the excitement, and said with a smile: "The third elder brother is back, the empress is not in a hurry?"

Concubine Ji glared at Qin Jun, "My princess, it's the first day of the year, so I don't have time to talk about family matters, hurry up, I'll let you go to lunch after I finish my work for your mother."

For a while, the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard were full of busy maids and eunuchs, carrying pots and bowls back and forth, all kinds of burdens carrying things in and out, the court ladies and eunuchs walked in small steps, busy in the cold and light-colored snow-white sky.

This day, a family banquet was held in Fengyi Pavilion Palace to celebrate.

It was already late at night after the banquet was over, and the four court ladies held up lanterns to illuminate Qin Jun's way.

"Who?" Suddenly, Jin Xiu asked vigilantly towards the night.

A half-bent figure appeared from the darkness, "Princess."

Qin Jun nodded, "Eunuch Guo."

Jin Xiu: "Eunuch, please move to the main hall."

"Is Jiang Guo's here?" The night was frosty and dewy, and Qin Jun was sitting in the hall wearing a fur coat and drinking warm soup.

Eunuch Guo cupped his hands: "Here we are. We entered Beijing when we held the lanterns. After handing in the customs clearance papers, we went to the house where we were resettled."

Qin Jun exhaled a cloud of white air, which dissipated under the warm yellow candlelight, "Is the personnel registered?"

Eunuch Guo submitted the roster, "It's already being planned."

Jin Xiu spread out the roster in front of Qin Jun.

Qin Jun took a look and noticed two people with incomplete names, "What's the matter with these two people?"

Eunuch Guo said: "The copied mother book was handed over before the ink was dry. The ink smeared on the paper and covered the names of the people. Only one surname remained after copying."

Qin Jun gasped, "It really took a lot of effort."

Eunuch Guo: "What is the princess' order?"

Qin Jun then said: "I'm afraid that some people are not pure, and took advantage of the troubled waters to enter Capital. Please ask Eunuch Guo to investigate and find out who is on the list."

"Here." Eunuch Guo said.

Qin Jun asked again: "How is the purchase of the house going?"

Eunuch Guo: "I've been looking at it, but there are too many people going to Beijing during the first lunar month, and there are not many good houses left."

Qin Jun pursed her lips: "Hurry up, it doesn't have to be too luxurious, just stay occasionally."

After finishing speaking, he added, "It's just two days, it must be done well, there is no need to choose."

Eunuch Guo gave a nod and took the order to leave.

Jin Xiu listened to the whole process, and the more she listened, the more confused she became: "Princess?"

Qin Jun sighed: "I know what you want to ask, mysteries of heaven must not be revealed."

Jin Xiu: "..."

Qin Jun took the roster and looked at it again. It seemed that Jiang Guo's envoys to Beijing this time were the same as in previous years. It was still Zhong Hui, the minister sent by Qin Bian to assist Jiang Guo, to report on his work.

Qin Jun heaved a sigh of relief, and thought that as long as it wasn't someone from the Ji family or those old ministers from Jiang Guoli who had buried their bodies in the dirt, no one would recognize Ji Si and bring her back to Jiang Guo.

Jin Xiu hesitated and said, "Princess pays so much attention to Jiang Guo, is she thinking about the foolish marriage six years ago?"

Qin Jun was taken aback for a moment, and instantly remembered the unremarkable story in the book.Six years ago, Qin and Zhou were troubled by internal and external troubles, and foreign enemies invaded. The Yuan people sent people to negotiate. On the Huanghuang Hall, the envoys actually said that the leader of the Yuan Dynasty wanted to marry Qin and Zhou.

There was an uproar in the court for a while. At that time, Emperor Zhou had only one daughter, and the sixth princess was only nine years old at that time!

Hundreds of officials talked about it, thinking that this was a disgrace to the Tian family, but if the army of Yuan people approached Wushan, they could only go to war if they didn't agree.At this time, someone proposed a Hongmen Banquet, and found a little maid who looked exactly like the sixth princess, dressed in brocade clothes and sent her to the battlefield.

The Yuan people were overjoyed, and the general of the Yuan people went to the tent of Qin and Zhou to meet the princess and discuss the matter of peace.When it came to marriage, the ministers of Qin and Zhou all looked at a loss, saying that the sixth princess had already pointed out the marriage, and the marriage partner was the second son of the monarch of the Jiang Kingdom, so where did the marriage start?

General Yuan Ren was furious!

The minister Youyou said: "Jiang is the farthest away from Capital, far away from the border with the Hu people, the general can go to verify it."

The general of the Yuan Dynasty was killed in the tent, and Qin and Zhou took advantage of the momentum to launch the Battle of Wushan to seize the opportunity.

The sixth princess's marriage was originally a muddled marriage. After the victory, very few people mentioned it. In addition to Qin Bian's beloved daughter, it is almost impossible for the princess to marry Jiang far away.It was just a part of the scheme, and no minister came to touch his brow, and everyone seemed to have lost their memory... After all, the Hongmen Banquet back then was disgraceful, and speaking out would damage the image of a great country.

Qin Jun held her forehead: "..."

She actually forgot about this incident. Whether this incident is minor or not, it is also a big foreshadowing in the original book.The sixth princess almost became brother-in-law with the heroine.

After Jin Xiu finished speaking, she glanced at Qin Jun's expression, "Princess?"

Qin Jun followed Jin Xiu's words and said, "So that's the case. You are right. This is why I pay more attention to Jiang Guo."

Jin Xiu nodded, and wiped Qin Jun's hands with a hot handkerchief, "Princess, don't worry. I heard that King Ji's tyrannical government has made people's lives difficult. Your Majesty will definitely not let the princess go to suffer."

Qin Jun lay down, watched Jin Xiu cut off the candles with scissors, and muttered: "The New Year will be in two days, do you want to give the palace people a red seal?"

Xiao Taozi came in for some soothing incense, and said in a low voice, "It's already done, princess, go to sleep."

Qin Jun pulled the brocade quilt, rubbed her eyes, and muttered, "I can't wear out all the jewels in my treasury. You two can choose some of the ones you like and take them away, and then choose some beautiful ones, and give them to me."Send it to the poor Hongxiu. The rest will be counted by a reliable palace official, and next time we go out of the palace, we will exchange these jewels for gold bars."

Jin Xiu: "Here."

Little Taozi: "Here."

Xiao Taozi asked again: "Who is Hongxiu?"

Jin Xiu: "The one in fine jade building."

Xiao Taozi: "Why does the princess pay so much attention to that Lady Pin? Is she the princess' lover?"

Qin Jun: "..."

Ji Si still lived in the Tongfu Inn. It was snowing heavily at night and the cold wind was howling. She stood in front of the window in only a single dress, recalling the day when the fire was set on fire., don't know the ugly behavior of only begging for mercy.

Xuan Zhi snorted in the stable, and then Ji Si closed the window and went back to sleep.
