Prodigal Goro-kun

Yan Sheng hugged Yan Qiuer all the way back to Shi'an Garden like lightning, and only after putting Yan Qiuer on the bed did he notice that Yan Qiuer's pursed lips were a bit wrong.

"What's wrong? Does it hurt?" Yan Sheng asked nervously, reaching out to unbutton Yan Qiuer's clothes while asking.

Yan Qiuer, who has lived in Shi'an Garden for more than half of the month, has long been used to this kind of interaction with Yan Sheng.Although Yansheng looked cold, he took good care of him. After trying to stop him but failed, Yan Qiuer let Yansheng go, and after a long time, Yan Qiuer got used to it.

"It doesn't hurt." Yan Qiuer shook her head, twitching the corners of her mouth to reveal a smile.

Carefully taking off Yan Qiuer's last shirt, Yan Sheng's attention was immediately attracted to his blood-stained right arm.How could it not hurt after bleeding so much?Kui Goro was still smiling when he was at the gate.Yan Sheng went outside to find a cloth towel and water, and gently wiped off the blood on Yan Qiuer's arm.

"You are not skilled in martial arts and have no actual combat experience. How dare you fight the prince? What did Tang Shuo do?" When asked about Tang Shuo, Yan Sheng's eyes showed a little anger.

"Who knew the crown prince would go today." Yan Qiuer muttered, and continued, "Father, don't blame Guan Shi Tang, the crown prince wasn't the only one at that time, it would not be easy for Guan Shi to fight five against one."

After wiping Yan Qiuer's arm clean, Yan Sheng felt relieved.The wound was indeed not serious, but Yan Qiuer had been moving before and the wound couldn't stop the bleeding, so his clothes were wet and it looked a little scary.

Liang Cheng invited a gentleman and didn't know where he went. Yan Sheng couldn't wait, so he had to search for the wound medicine and bandages that he had left somewhere in the bedroom, and skillfully bandaged Yan Qiu'er.

The medicine and bandages are for Yan Sheng's own use. A few years ago, when the Yan family's achievements reached a higher level, many people regarded him as a thorn in their side. For a while, new wounds appeared on his body every day. Beggars have to be on guard three points.Since then, Yan Sheng has habitually put some wound medicines in the bedroom, but he never expected to use these things on others one day.

"Don't be so reckless again. Who is the prince? How can you handle it?"

"What's wrong with the prince? The prince is amazing!" Yan Qiuer raised his chin and yelled without anger, but Yan Sheng gave him a stare and turned off the fire. He curled his lips and smiled flatteringly at Yan Sheng, saying, "Father Don't worry, I'm not reckless. The crown prince is wrong today, even if he wants to sue in front of the saint, the people around him will not allow it, otherwise the Yan family will not be the one who suffers. And now the Yan family is working for the saint , the sage will pay more attention to the Yan family, and the crown prince is not good at attacking the Yan family."

After Yan Qiu'er finished speaking proudly, Yan Sheng only gave him a gouged look, and said with a cold snort, "Am I worried about the Yan family?" This little heartless person, what did he say? trouble?Even if this kid caused him trouble, he has been the head of the family for more than ten years, can't he still solve it?

"Uh..." Isn't it?Yan Qiuer blinked suspiciously.

Yan was annoyed, and patted Yan Qiuer on the head, but said nothing.

Liang Cheng finally invited his husband, but Yan Qiuer's wound had already been bandaged, so he couldn't take it apart and bandage it up again, so Liang Cheng had to make amends to his husband, and gave him twenty copper coins, and then went back to work. Have someone send Mr. back home.

Tang Shuo followed Liang Cheng into the door, turned his head to look at Yan Sheng, then at Yan Qiuer, and knelt down silently.

Yan Qiuer was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Yansheng.

"Get up." Yan Sheng was not angry with Tang Shuo, but if he had to say it, he should be angry with himself.Knowing that the Zuo family had bad intentions, he still let Wulang go, if he could calculate the prince's meeting in advance, he would not let Wulang go, "What's going on?"

Tang Shuo stood up according to his words, and answered Yan Sheng's question seriously: "Returning to the lord, today's banquet is specially set for the Yan family. Zuo Yishan's invitation was only sent to the Yan family. Others, Zuo Yishan didn't do anything, but when Lord Wulang was about to leave, the crown prince and Zuo Ning suddenly came out from the backyard."

"Backyard?" Yan Sheng frowned.

Is this a good idea to wait to persecute his Yan family?Should he be glad that it was Goro who went?Otherwise, the other gentlemen must be timid when they see the prince who can't hide his hostility, and he will give up three points to the prince considering his royal status, so Wu Lang is not only half-scrupulous None, dare to do anything to the prince.But the prince and the Zuo family calculated Wulang first, and then confronted Wulang with swords, and even hurt Wulang. How can this account be ignored?

"Father, there is something strange to me." After Yan Qiuer put on her clothes, she opened the curtain and got out of bed, walked over to Yan Sheng and sat down calmly, "Although today's banquet was arranged by the Zuo family, , but I think Zuo Yishan didn't do his best. Daddy, look at me, isn't it easy to force me to stay and threaten me? But Zuo Yishan has always been just persuading, and he has never been tough.

Let's talk about Zuo Ning and the crown prince, regardless of the crown prince's temperament, but he doesn't seem to understand our Yan family's situation very well, so he wants to buy the Yan family with twenty ingots of gold, let alone whether the price is a little low, we The Yan family is well-known, and it is famously united. Would the Zuo family not know?Would Zuo Ning not know?They knew about it, but let the prince choose such a method.And judging by Zuo Ning's attitude, it doesn't seem like he is helping the prince wholeheartedly.I always feel that there is something weird between the three of them. "

Yan Sheng thought over Yan Qiu'er's words carefully, and felt a little weird.

"Liang Cheng, ask someone to find a way to send this news to Yan Xun, and then ask someone to find out the details of the Zuo family." Since there is no business relationship, Yan Sheng really doesn't know much about such an insignificant merchant like the Zuo family. "In addition, let me know that from today onwards, caravans from all over the world are not allowed to accept the Zuo family's delivery orders, and all business related to the Zuo family will be avoided."

Yan Qiuer was startled, and looked at Yansheng in amazement.Let the Yan family avoid business related to the Zuo family?If this is really done, I am afraid that Quan Tianlan's merchants will avoid business related to the Zuo family, right?Is Yan Sheng trying to cut off business with the Zuo family and isolate the Zuo family?

"Yes, my lord." Liang Cheng responded, turned around and was about to make arrangements, but stopped when he was about to reach the door, turned around and looked at Yan Sheng and asked, "Then lord, what happened this afternoon..."

Liang Cheng didn't say the whole thing, he just communicated with Yan Sheng with his eyes. Yan Sheng glanced at Yan Qiuer and said, "I'll take Tang Shuo and Xiao He." Goro is probably the only person who is so smooth and slick, but Goro is injured, so he can only settle for the next best thing. Fortunately, today is just a dinner party.

"Huh? Where are you going?" Liang Cheng and Yan Sheng were flirting with each other in front of him. Is this going to some place that he doesn't know?

"The Chamber of Commerce." Yan Sheng gave Yan Qiuer a sideways look.Goro, what tone is this?It seemed that he was going to some shady place, where else could he go?

Hearing the name "Commercial Association", Yan Qiuer was taken aback.

The Chamber of Commerce, the full name of the Merchants Association, was initiated by the three major merchants. It aims to exchange information and exchange information. New and old merchants can meet each other to get acquainted with each other. If there is cooperation in the future, it will be easy to talk.This gathering of merchants from all over the country is held every three years, organized by the three major merchants in turn, and before each holding, the three major merchants will meet in Chang'an City.Yan Qiuer didn't know what they would discuss during this meeting, because he had never participated in it.

"It's our Yan family's turn this year?"

Yan Sheng glanced at Yan Qiu'er, as if he didn't understand how Yan Qiu'er knew about this matter, he only told Yan Qi about the Chamber of Commerce.But after thinking about it, Yan Sheng felt that this kid Yan Qiuer could always know things that he shouldn't know?Presumably, he did have his own news channel as he said.Yan Sheng was actually very curious about this news channel that belonged to Yan Qiuer, and at the same time, he didn't want to force Yan Qiuer to tell him, so he could only hold back, silently waiting for the day when Yan Qiuer would confess to him.

"Not necessarily, which one will undertake depends on the final result tonight."

"The result?" Yan Qiuer raised her eyebrows, "Isn't it taking turns?"

"You know a lot." Looking at the sky, it was almost time to go, Yan Sheng got up and smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, "I want to take you there next time, so I can rest tonight and keep the wound away from water. Did you hear that?"

Yan Qiuer grinned, and said playfully, "Yes, my lord."

Yan Sheng smiled slightly, messed up Yan Qiuer's long hair and turned to leave.The gatherings of the three major merchants were different from the banquets he had attended in the past. The owners of the other two merchants were all respected elders. As a junior, he had to arrive at the agreed place first and make arrangements first.

How about a rest?It's just a scratch, what's the rest?It's rare that Yan Sheng is not here, Liang Cheng is not here, and Tang Shuo is not here, so when will we wait if we don't leave now?Two quarters of an hour later, Yan Qiuer disappeared "out of thin air" from Yansheng's bed.

The sky is getting darker, and Pingkang Fang, where the night ban has fallen, is gradually becoming lively, except that the gate of Huayue Pavilion near the west Fangmen is closed. Even if there are guests knocking on the door, no one answers the door. This situation has lasted for many On this day, people in Pingkangfang were guessing whether something serious happened in Huayue Pavilion, otherwise, how could the shop in Pingkangfang have any reason to close its doors and refuse customers?

Yan Qiuer, who landed on the roof of Huayue Pavilion, was also surprised by the desolate scene of Huayue Pavilion.Although he was the one who ordered Qing Jue to thank guests behind closed doors, he never expected Qing Jue to be so obedient.But just to teach him a lesson, that Qing Jue will obey him from now on, right?It really is a masochistic physique?But that's good too, seeing that the people in Huayue Pavilion are inexplicably only looking forward to Qingjue, if Qingjue can obey his advice, it will save a lot of trouble.

Falling lightly into the backyard, Yan Qiuer was puzzled by the disappearance of people in Huayue Pavilion, while finding Qing Jue's room according to the previous memory, and knocked on Qing Jue's door.

"Who is it?" I don't know if it's because life is easier, but Qing Jue's voice is much lighter than when we met last time.

"It's me, He..." Before he could say the word son, the door in front of him was violently pulled open, which startled Yan Qiuer.

Qing Jue has been waiting for Yan Qiuer for the past few days, but Yan Qiuer clearly said that she would come here sometime, but she didn't show up for several days.

Even though things in Huayue Pavilion have not been explained clearly, why didn't he come?Could it be that you don't want to take care of it anymore when you lose your interest?It is rare to be able to suspend business and rest, but Qingjue thinks about these things all day long.He wanted to go to Yan Mansion to find Yan Qiuer, but when he saw the low-key but elegant gate of Yan Mansion at the door, Qing Jue's feverish mind calmed down, realizing that his identity would shame Yan Qiuer, Qing Jue Then he went back home knowingly.

However, while waiting anxiously, she unexpectedly heard Yan Qiuer's voice, Qing Jue was overjoyed, opened the door and threw herself on Yan Qiuer.

"Lord!"

Suddenly something flew out of the room, and it was about to hit her, Yan Qiuer hurriedly dodged, only to hear Qing Jue's voice after dodging, and couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth.He seemed to have guessed Qing Jue's character wrong from the beginning.

"Don't make noise, come in." Yan Qiuer still wore the black half-mask, turned her head to look at Qing Jue who was not hugged and looked aggrieved, and stepped into the room.

Qing Jue hurriedly followed Yan Qiuer's footsteps, and closed the door thoughtfully and sensiblely.

Sitting at the table, Yan Qiuer did not take off his mask.From now on, he should be more careful with every step he takes.

"Why is there no one outside? Where are your brothers and sisters?"

"Sleeping." Qing Jue looked straight at Yan Qiuer, the eagerness and joy in his eyes made Yan Qiuer feel a little embarrassed.

"Sleeping? So early?" They fell asleep before Shen Shi even arrived?

Qing Jue rubbed his nose, laughed dryly, and said with some embarrassment: "They said they have never felt so relaxed, and since they entered Huayue Pavilion, they haven't slept in the first half of the night, so..."

I see.Yan Qiuer nodded, expressing her understanding: "They won't be free for long, I don't just support you because I have too much money and nowhere to spend it."

Qing Jue was stunned for a moment, then straightened his face, and said: "The lord is generous, and the servants understand. It's only a few days, please forgive their slack."

Hearing the self-proclaimed "servant", Yan Qiuer frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to call yourself a slave, I spend money to support you so that you can do things for me, and I won't keep people who are incompetent, so You don't need to despise yourself in front of me. Is the money enough?"

"Enough!" As soon as Yan Qiuer mentioned money, Qing Jue immediately ran to the vanity mirror, rummaged through it, and then returned to the seat where she had just sat with a locked box in her arms, " This is the money my lord gave me last time, we all save it!" Saying that, Qing Jue handed the box and key to Yan Qiuer.

Yan Qiuer felt a little funny when he heard this, so he pushed the box back with a smile: "You don't have to tell me everything. Tomorrow you go find a skilled craftsman and redecorate this Huayue Pavilion. Let the craftsmen follow this picture." Saying that, Yan Qiuer took out a stack of rice paper from her bosom, and put it in front of Qing Jue.

"Want...to redecorate? Is it necessary?" Qing Jue picked up the several sheets of paper and looked at them one by one, but couldn't understand them at all.

"I think it is necessary." If Huayuege thinks about returning from the dead, he will only make a blockbuster. If he wants to be a blockbuster, he will inevitably spend a lot of money. Fortunately, he can afford it. "During this time, you should practice singing and dancing instruments well Practice, don't be embarrassing when it reopens. My place only keeps useful people. If you still want to live such a leisurely life, you can practice. If anyone is proficient in calligraphy, painting and poetry, you can also ponder it. In addition, if you encounter When I got on the traffickers, I went to buy some foreign men and women and came back, do you need me to teach you how to choose?"

"No need." Qing Jue shook his head.Even if he can't, there are sisters in Huayue Pavilion who are proficient in this way, so there is no need to worry, but... "Why does the lord want a foreign man and a woman?" Women are just fine, why are there men?

"Even in this Pingkangfang, there are not many shops with young men. Since there are in Huayue Pavilion, it is better to keep this characteristic tradition. Men from the Central Plains can be seen everywhere, but people from foreign countries are rare. Those people After bringing them back, don’t be harsh, just urge them to practice their skills diligently. Ask the people in the store who know how to flatter and please customers to teach them more.”

"Yes, my lord." Yan Qiuer said a lot, but they were actually very simple things, so Qing Jue agreed without hesitation.

"By the way, I have something to ask you." Yan Qiuer looked at Qing Jue and asked seriously, "Do you know about the Huangshang Zuo family?"

"The Zuo family?" Qing Jue blinked, "What does the lord want to know about the Zuo family?"

"You know what happened to the Zuo family? Tell me everything you know."

"Yes." Qing Jue carefully recalled the things about the Zuo family that he had heard before, and after putting together those fragmentary memories, he said again, "The Zuo family only started to emerge in Chang'an City five years ago. Mainly in the silk cloth business, it took only two years to become an imperial merchant. Now the rich and noble people in Chang'an City all use clothes from the Zuo family. Unlike other merchants, the Zuo family is walking outside with two gentlemen, If you want to hide your background, I'm afraid you can only let the two gentlemen run around."

"Hiding one's background? What's the point?" Yan Qiuer faintly felt that his visit to Huayue Pavilion was the right one!

Qing Jue smiled slightly, and said: "My lord is in the Yan family, and I have never had a close relationship with the Zuo family. Maybe I don't know it. Now everyone in Chang'an City thinks that the Zuo family was originally from Chang'an, but in fact it is not the case. The Zuo family was born five years ago. From Huai'an. Most of the merchants in Chang'an City are the leading masters in Tianlan. Even if they are not masters, they are all local merchants. The Zuo family came from Huai'an. The accent is obvious, and it may be somewhat unfair. It is said that half a year after coming to Chang'an, the elders of the Zuo family moved out of Chang'an City, leaving only two gentlemen to carry the Zuo family's name in Chang'an City. And I heard that their surnames were not Zuo's originally. , As for what exactly happened, I don’t know.”

Hearing Qing Jue's words, Yan Qiuer was stunned for a long time, then as if suddenly regained consciousness, looked at Qing Jue in surprise, and asked, "Where did you hear all this news?"

Qing Jue blushed, then turned pale, and replied with some embarrassment: "Yes... a regular customer... as an official in, at the court, what he said is credible."

Court officials?Why did court officials come to Pingkangfang to expose Zuo's family?It seems that the Zuo family is not very popular in the court.

However, Yan Qiuer was still a little worried, so she confirmed: "Are you sure these are true? Did you remember correctly?"

"I can't remember it wrong." Qing Jue replied with her head down, "Recently... just... just before inviting the Lord to come, that... that one came again... complained again when he was drunk."

Hearing this, Yan Qiuer fell silent, with a mask on his face, and when he was thinking, he lowered his head again, Qing Jue didn't know what he was thinking, and secretly wondered if he shouldn't tell the story of receiving guests before?

Yan Qiuer didn't know what Qing Jue was thinking, and after she had finished thinking about things, she raised her head and said to Qing Jue: "Do you have any pen and ink here?"

"Yes." Even though it is a brothel, the Four Treasures of the Study will still be prepared, not to mention that some customers prefer this way, and they still want to write and draw to pass the time when they have nothing to do during the day.

After Qingjue prepared the four treasures of the study, Yan Qiuer took up a pen and wrote a letter.

Standing behind Yan Qiuer, Qing Jue poked her head curiously at the words gradually appearing on the paper, her face paled in shock.

what is that?Is it a love letter?It's fine if it's a love letter, why is it a love letter to Shang Shuling's grandson?That Mr. Lin Lang is very famous in Pingkangfang!But aren't they talking about the Zuo family?Why did the Lord suddenly write a love letter? !

This love letter was written by Yan Qiuer in one stroke, and the smoothness of the writing was unprecedented. Putting down the pen, Yan Qiuer picked up the "love letter" and read it twice. After confirming that it was correct, he dried the ink and folded it carefully.

"Have someone send this to Shang Shuling's mansion, and it must be handed over to Lin Qian." After speaking, Yan Qiuer handed the love letter to Qing Jue, and said worriedly, "Remember, it must be handed over to Lin Qian." In the hands of Lin Lang, you must not let Shang Shuling see it, do you hear me?"

"But..." Qing Jue took the love letter with a perplexed expression on his face, "But why did the Lord write, write, write such a thing to that one!"

"Why?" Yan Qiuer tilted his head and thought for a while, then smiled, "Probably because of love."

Where does love go?Qing Jue was stunned, and stood stupidly behind Yan Qiuer, looking blankly at Yan Qiuer's smiling side face, even though that side face was blocked by a half mask, Qing Jue could still see Yan Qiuer's face from the side. From the corner of his mouth, he could discern the faint and peaceful smile, which made Qing Jue think about it for a moment.

"It's time for me to go back. You can deal with what I have to explain to you. I will come back after the renovation of Huayue Pavilion is completed." After speaking, Yan Qiuer still turned over the window and left neatly.

Qing Jue still stood there blankly, staring at the love letter in her hand for a long while, no matter how she looked at it, she felt it was an eyesore.

Does the lord like men?Even if the lord likes men, why would he fall in love with that prodigal son surnamed Lin?How can such a man who only knows how to look for flowers and ask willows be worthy of the lord?Can he not send this letter?

Gritting her teeth at the letter, Qing Jue put the letter away, thinking about how to hand it over to Lin Qian tomorrow.
