Changle Floating Life

The man looked Ye Jianqing up and down, his eyes were harsher, but he didn't intend to hide his identity, he covered his face with a fan and said, "Mr. Ye Shu, how are you?"

Ye Jianqing's pupils tightened suddenly, and he had already guessed the identity of this person in a blink of an eye: "You, are you His Highness King Ning?" He didn't move, and reached out to pull him anxiously.

King Ning looked at him with a smile: "Don't be polite, don't be polite. Back then, we had read books and played together in Ruisi Palace, but this king recognized you at a glance."

Ye Jianqing thought to himself, I'm not a child, I think I'm a good friend after playing.But he still said respectfully: "Your Highness is here, but is there anything in the picture?"

Only then did King Ning think of the main topic, pointing to the painting in front of him and said, "Tell your boss, this painting..." "This painting is real, His Highness King Ning really has eyesight." Ye Jianqing applauded.The owner of Songfeng Pavilion is King Duan Pei Zhaoye, and King Ning is here to find fault.

"You!" The commander behind King Ning was about to attack as soon as his expression changed, but was stopped by the master: "Wait a minute, tell me in detail."

Ye Jianqing nodded and said: "Your Highness must know that Wang Ran was born in the royal family of Langya in Shandong and served as the governor of Yangzhou for many years. The inscription on this painting was made during his tenure in Yangzhou. People from Wudi pronounce 'six' as ' You must open your mouth wide. As His Highness said, Wang Ran's paintings are the most important details, so this painting is undoubtedly authentic."

"Hahahaha..." King Ning laughed so hard that tears were about to come out.Not only the shopkeeper of Songfeng Pavilion looked at him in surprise, but even Ye Jianqing and his own long-term follower were a little confused.After the laughter faded away, King Ning wiped the corners of his eyes, smiled brightly and said, "What a eloquent Ye Shuren! It really hasn't changed at all. Back then when I was studying in the Hall of Ruisi, Mr. came out with 'Full Moon', you don't like 'Bian' Wind', everyone laughed out loud. The gentleman said that the wind is flat, but you just argue that the door can get in, so why not flat?"

The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief, Ye Jianqing blushed, scratched his ears and cheeks, and didn't know what to say for a moment.King Ning pointed at the painting and said, "I want this one."Then, he pointed to the "Picture of Ta Xue Gu Liquor" next to him: "I want this too, the shopkeeper can just set a price, let someone wrap it up and send it to my house to get the money."

He shot so boldly, the shopkeeper thanked him again and again.Ye Jianqing pursed her lips and remained silent.When King Ning left, he specially greeted Ye Jianqing and said, "Now that the big case is over, you and I are childhood friends. For the sake of my aunt, I have to take care of you. I hope you will come to the palace often."

After King Ning left, the shopkeeper couldn't help looking at Ye Jianqing and asked curiously, "How do you know His Highness King Ning?" One less thing.The shopkeeper saw that he was gentle and courteous in his daily life, and had a unique eye for appreciating antiques, calligraphy and paintings, so he knew that he was either an expert in the industry, or he came from a famous family and was immersed in this way all day long, so he has such experience.

Ye Jianqing smiled and said, "People who are guilty of crimes have stopped dealing with these wealthy families." After he finished speaking, he turned and went back to the cubicle to continue mounting calligraphy and paintings. I don't know that the shopkeeper looked at his back with a little more pity .

The conclusion of the Princess Mansion case is nothing more than a lack of talk for the people, but the aftershock is still there for the court.After the Yushi Zhongcheng Fan Wencheng and the Dali Temple Minister Bo Shaojun resigned, the two seats have been vacant.Zuo Fengmian was not clear about the case, the sentence was improper, and he was fined for one year. However, Dali Temple suffered from the lack of a leader.

After Zuo Fengmian came back from the prison that day, he heard a few eunuchs chattering in the hall, "Who do you think will be the boss of our Yamen from now on?" Don’t run errands and work?" "I heard that Shengyi has annoyed our temple and Yushitai this time, and whoever will fill this gap is because the Holy Majesty doesn't want to see anyone." "If you want me to say, anyone can come, just don't This one in the hall!" The man pointed to the seat in the hall, and the rest of the people knew that he was talking about Zuo Fengmian, so they all laughed tacitly.

Zuo Fengmian looked calm, coughed sharply in the corridor, heard a nasal sound of gasping for air-conditioning inside, waited for a while before stepping into the threshold.

He was busy until the afternoon, when someone came to report suddenly, and Gu Ting, the commander in front of the palace, asked Mr. Gu to see him.His face changed slightly, he had already heard about Gu Tingrang's deeds from King Duan, he was a ruthless character, so he hurriedly ordered someone to come see him.

There was the sound of rattling boots outside, and people came very quickly, only to see a tall man in the uniform of the Imperial Army enter the door.Zuo Fengmian didn't get up to greet him, he was still busy with his own affairs, and only ordered people to bring tea and water.Gu Tingrang saw that he didn't even have any intention of pretending, just raised his eyebrows, and sat down in the guest seat.

Zuo Fengmian unhurriedly stamped his big seal on the case file, put away the file, and then raised his eyes to look at Gu Tingrang.Seeing that he is more than thirty years old, with a handsome face and bulging temples, he should be a master of the inner family.Although the rank of the commander in front of the palace is low, but because he has the opportunity to see Tianyan often, he can be said to be a close minister of the emperor, and he is also a very popular figure in the eyes of ordinary people. "You've neglected Mr. Gu. It's true that there is no leader among the dragons in the temple, and we can't keep up with too many things."

Gu Tingrang served the tea with a smile and said, "As soon as Mr. Bo leaves, it is the proper intention for Shaoqing to step up."

Zuo Fengmian said grimly: "Mr. Gu's words are wrong. It is the function of the official department to select officials to fill vacancies, and it is His Majesty's grace to choose the virtuous and appoint officials. How can we presumptuously guess what is going on and lose the integrity of a courtier?" point."

Gu Tingrang made him choke, but he didn't feel embarrassed.There are so-called hypocrites and villains in the world, this Zuo Fengmian is probably the latter type, but fortunately he is still from a professional background, Tan Hualang back then, the same court minister turned out to be a little hypocritical and submissive.So he also said frankly and honestly: "Master Zuo, I am here to investigate the evidence of the case of the princess mansion according to the order of the emperor."

When Zuo Fengmian heard this, he got up and went down to the hall, and bowed respectfully to the north.Gu Tingrang took out a roll of yellow silk and handed it to him, saying: "Your Majesty ordered me to chase down the criminal Zhao Nanxing, and I need to retrieve some evidence from Dali Temple to find clues about the criminal Zhao." After Zuo Fengmian carefully read the handwriting, Then carefully put it away, and said first: "Congratulations to Mr. Gu for his promotion to the admiral of the [-]th Regiment Battalion. From now on, His Majesty Gan Jing's Anwei's honor and disgrace will be tied to your Excellency."

It turned out that there was an order in the handbook that Gu Tingrang was newly appointed as the commander of the imperial army, to admiral the twelve guards of the Tianji, Tianshu, and Tianxuan battalions that defended the capital.Gu Tingrang said indifferently: "There are no heroes in the world, so Zhu Zi became famous. Your Majesty's holy will punches, and Yu Weiyou will devote all his energy and thoughts to his bones to repay the grace of God."

Zuo Fengmian calmly made a "please" gesture and said, "My lord, come with me, all the evidence is here."

The two went down to the warehouse together, and Gu Tingrang only flipped over on the shelf.He was there from the beginning to the end of the inspection of Princess Zhenguo's Mansion and Huiliu Villa that day, so what evidence did he not see?Zuo Fengmian watched him take away the three-axis calligraphy and painting coldly, and sent him out of the temple gate after the painting was registered.

This person was not easy to mess with, but now he has soared to the sky and has half of Gan Jing's military power, but I don't know why the emperor trusts him so much.Zuo Fengmian had no intention of working in the official office for the rest of the time, so he picked up a pen and wrote "Gu Tingrang" on the paper in thick ink.

As soon as he finished his official duties for the day, he hurried to Duan Wang's mansion.Walking to the front of the mansion, he met the butler going out, so he hurriedly caught up with him and asked if Pei Zhaoye was in the mansion.The housekeeper said: "Lord Zuo came at an unfortunate time. The lord left the house this afternoon. He didn't bring any suits with him, and he didn't know where he went. I just heard that he won't be back at night. If there is something important, my lord, I will block it with His Royal Highness tomorrow morning." He is."

No home at night.The blood on Zuo Fengmian's face faded all of a sudden.He stood in front of the palace for a long time before he remembered another place. He immediately revived and headed towards Tianshui Lane.It was the secret courtyard that Pei Zhaoye had brought him to two months ago, and he guessed that Pei Zhaoye must be there.

When he came to the alley that was only six feet wide, he found the familiar white board door, and he saw a black horse tied under the willow tree outside the door, which was Pei Zhaoye's mount.He was full of joy, and was about to knock on the door, but there was another familiar and heart-piercing voice from the door: "Cousin, you can sit and rest for a while. Wait for me to pour tea."

It's time for the birds to return to their nests, the willows on the moon, and people to make an appointment after dusk.Suddenly there was the sound of songbirds flapping their wings on the old willow tree above.Zuo Fengmian's eyes were bloodshot, Zuo raised his head and saw a crow landed on the willow branch, looking at him.He caught a willow leaf that had just fallen down in his hand, and held it on his fingertips, his eyes swept over the treetops sharply.The crow felt something was wrong, and was about to flap its wings and fly away, when the willow leaf pierced its belly in an instant, and fell to the ground, struggling in pain.

In the small courtyard, the old lady and the little girl were busy cooking and cooking, and couldn't take their hands off for a while, so Ye Jianqing went to pour a cup of tea for Pei Zhaoye.There is a small study room on the south side of the courtyard, the wall is outside the window, and a few plantains and a few stalks of green bamboo are planted.A row of bookshelves in the study room have never been turned over, and there is only a copy of "Tao Yuanming's Poems" spread out on the desk.Holding it in his hand, Pei Zhaoye looked at Ye Jianqing who brought the tea with a smile and said, "You really want to learn from Tao Qian to farm? After becoming an official, why bother to compete with farmers for profit."

Ye Jianqing was taken aback, put down the tea tray and said, "Just take a look." Pei Zhaoye reached out for the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Did you have an adventure in Songfeng Pavilion today?" Ye Jianqing was startled , what a quick ear report!Sui said: "His Royal Highness Ning came down and bought two paintings." Pei Zhaoye tilted his head and thought for a while, and said: "You probably don't remember. In the spring of the third year of Taiping, when you came to Ganjing, you met him as soon as you came. We got into a fight and rolled around on the snow outside the Ruisi Hall. The prince and I went to fight, you punched me on the head, and Shouye kicked the prince in the stomach, and there was a lot of trouble."

There is such a grievance!Ye Jianqing laughed and said, "Is this little thing worth his bragging rights? What a kid! Where did I hit you on the head? Does it hurt?" Pei Zhaoye pointed to the hairline on his forehead, frowning deliberately: "There is still a scar here , There was a lot of blood at that time." Ye Jianqing stepped forward to look at it, and carefully fiddled with her hair, but her scalp was clean without any traces.He still said innocently: "Where is it, why didn't I see it?"

His innocence was so amusing.Pei Zhaoye took his hand, kissed him on the lips, and said, "It's been a long time ago, I lied to you." Ye Jianqing was extremely embarrassed, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but at the same time felt that it was too rude and hurtful.His hesitant and troubled figure was reflected in the depths of Pei Zhaoye's eyes, which made his mind sway and he couldn't restrain himself.

At this moment, a little girl's voice sounded outside the window, saying that dinner was ready.Ye Jianqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, Pei Zhaoye felt regretful, but he had no choice but to restrain himself, stood up and pulled him out.The dinner was placed under the grape arbor in the yard, which was already full of bean-sized green fruits.Seasonal vegetables, bacon, vegetable cakes, and river fish are placed on the small dining table, and a large bowl next to it is filled with pears, apricots, plums and other fruits.The old woman and the little girl stood aside with their hands tied.Pei Zhaoye said: "Grandma Li and Xiao Lanxin also come to eat." The two waved their hands in fear, Ye Jianqing smiled and said: "It's okay, my cousin doesn't want this place to be as formal as the palace." They went to the kitchen and took a bowl each, picked up some vegetables and rice, and sat by the well far away to eat.

It was near the Dragon Boat Festival, the pomegranates were in full bloom, the fine kudzu was soft with the wind, and the fragrance was light with snow.Pei and Ye sat on the bamboo chairs. After eating, they soaked in a pot of fragrant tablets, smelled the fragrance of flowers, and talked about anecdotes about the shop at will.The grandparents and grandchildren cleaned up and were busy making zongzi. The green zongzi leaves were soaked in the well water, and both of them had circles of red thread wrapped around their arms.

Pei Zhaoye said he wanted Ye Jianqing to help, but in fact it was nothing important, it was just to help manage Songfengge's business.Ye Jianqing watched coldly, probably knowing that it was the place he used to contact everyone.Some toys in the shop are not expensive, but there are often hundreds of thousands of dollars in and out of the books, I am afraid that they are also used for money laundering.He guessed that Pei Zhaoye was still worried about himself, so he waited patiently.

When the moon was at its zenith, Pei Zhaoye still had no intention of leaving.At this moment, Lan Xin fetched a basin of water and asked him if he was outside or in the house to wash.Ye Jianqing's heart skipped a beat, and he went to the wing room and asked, "Cousin, are you not going back tonight?" Pei Zhaoye replied in a muffled yes while wiping his face.Ye Jianqing saw that Xiao Lanxin was skilled and experienced in serving him, and he probably stayed here often.

This is Ye Jianqing's daily living place, with one and only one bed.Depressedly, he walked into the back room, carried a quilt out, and prepared to sleep in the guest room next to his grandparents and grandson.Pei Zhaoye was taken aback, and asked, "What are you doing?" Ye Jianqing said, "I'm going to sleep in the guest room, and change a new mattress for my cousin." Pei Zhaoye said, "This bed is so big, it's big enough for two people to sleep. It’s gone. The guest room has not been cleaned up, it’s all dust. Put it back quickly.”

Ye Jianqing had no choice but to put the bedding back again.After Pei Zhaoye finished washing, the little girl went out to change the water, and Ye Jianqing washed again.After packing up, he went into the back room, and saw that Pei Zhaoye had already loosened his outer shirt and was only wearing his middle coat, sitting by the bed reading a book called "The General Essentials of the Classic of Martial Arts".Ye Jianqing asked curiously: "Look at this? Since Emperor Taizong's Zhaoren Dynasty, Hu Chen has not been seen outside the Great Wall for decades. In recent years, the officials have even lessen hunting and shooting in the countryside."

Pei Zhaoye put away the book: "There's a word called "Stay safe, don't you know?" He stretched out his hand and untied Ye Jianqing's waistband from behind, and took off his outer shirt.Ye Jianqing turned to look at him with an extremely disturbed expression on his face.Pei Zhaoye held both of his hands and felt that his palms were covered with cold sweat. He raised his eyebrows and said amusedly, "What are you afraid of? If you don't want to, I won't force you to do anything."

Ye Jianqing was embarrassed for a while, and said softly: "Cousin, I don't remember much about the past." Pei Zhaoye remembered the time when they sent Zhao Nanxing off together outside Ganjing City, and said: "You don't know me Knowing you. Whether you remember or not doesn't prevent me from being nice to you." Ye Jianqing bit her lips and said nothing, and it took a long time before she said in a daze: "Men and women's living room is a great relationship between husband and wife. If you break your sleeves and divide your peaches, you will inevitably cover your nose The ugliness. Your Highness was born in a noble family, surrounded by a kingly spirit, and it’s fine if you can’t get rid of occasional entertainment, why are you so keen on this way? What if Your Majesty knows about it?"

He thought that Pei Zhaoye did this because the people of the time were too articulate and playful, chasing the wind and the moon to catch up with the trend.Pei Zhaoye frowned, feeling uncertain for a while.It took a long time to hear him sigh heavily: "You are still young, you don't understand." There was an unspeakable sadness and melancholy in the words.After he finished speaking, he fell asleep in the bed.

Ye Jianqing stood beside the bed for a long while, and got helpless, so she went to bed anxiously. Seeing that his face was not moving, she could only carefully lie down beside him.He tossed and turned all night, fearing that Pei Zhaoye would do something, he didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.Fortunately, Pei Zhaoye did not have any irregularities.As soon as Yinshi passed, Pei Zhaoye moved. This was his usual time to go to court.Ye Jianqing also woke up when he heard his breathing became heavier.Since he practiced the mental method of free and unfettered travel, his eyes and ears are much more agile than before.

He rubbed his eyes, and by the light in the room, he saw that Pei Zhaoye was getting up and getting dressed.Lan Xin lit a lantern outside the window and said in the yard: "Master, the carriages and horses are already waiting outside the door." Ye Jianqing got up in his arms, Pei Zhaoye turned around and pushed him down, saying: "Sleep for a while, don't get up gone."

After Pei Zhaoye got dressed, he blew out the candles and went out.The air is fresh and the moon and stars are rare.As soon as the whiteboard door was opened, a light carriage stopped outside the door at some point.As soon as the groom whipped his whip, the frame slid silently into the night.

The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Ye Jianqing organized the shelves in Songfeng Pavilion.At noon, a dark-faced young man ran in from outside. He was a boy from the wallpaper and pen shop next door, named Gensheng.As soon as he arrived, he pulled Ye Jianqing out and said, "Little Ye Zi, let's go, there is a medicine shop on the side of Shenxian Bridge, and they are delivering medicine. If you don't take it, you don't take it." Ye Jianqing saw that the front of his clothes was tied A small sachet, with a tangy medicinal fragrance, pointed to: "Is this also a gift?"

Gensheng nodded and answered yes, untie it for him to play with.Ye Jianqing loosened the silk cord that tied the mouth of the sachet, took out a pinch of medicinal powder from inside, put it under his nose and smelled it.He tied the silk sash again, and said: "The mussel powder is mixed with ice flakes and musk. It's a genuine material. It's good. It's just doing business like this. Aren't you afraid of losing money?" The small black bean-like eyes are shining, He said in a loud voice: "Shopkeeper, Xiao Yezi and I went out." He said to Ye Jianqing: "There is an old fairy sitting in the pharmacy. He has a free clinic for three days. I heard that the medical skills are very good, and there are crowds of people. I will go and give it to you." My mother grabbed a pack of medicine and went."

Ye Jianqing shook his head with a smile and said, "Doctors, curing diseases does not save lives. It is too much to say that it is an old god." But he still followed Gensheng to the street.When you get out of Liuli Lane, turn left, cross a small stone bridge, and you will find another street market, because there are several big medicine shops in the capital here, and the small stone bridge is also called Shenxian Bridge.

The Dragon Boat Festival sun was scorching hot, and both of them were sweating thinly.Gensheng took him to the door of a newly opened pharmacy, and sure enough, he saw people grabbing medicines in front of the Quchi counter.Gensheng pointed to a circle of people inside, and whispered: "The old doctor sees a doctor there." Ye Jianqing tiptoed to look, but couldn't see anything, only black heads.

There is a medicine plaque on the curved ruler counter at the door, and there are sachets and medicine bags of various colors for anyone to take.Ye Jianqing stretched out his hand to take one or two, and saw "Fengyan" and "Dragon Tiger" were written on the small charms on the back, and the writing was very unique.When he was looking at the sachet over and over again, the crowd in the store dispersed with a clatter.A tall middle-aged man in his fifties and sixties stood up from the crowd, turned around and entered the back of the shop.Gensheng tugged at Ye Jianqing's sleeve and said, "Look, look, that's the old fairy."

Ye Jianqing was stunned, and the sachet fell from his hand.Gensheng was about to pull him in, but his feet seemed to be rooted, and Gensheng looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong with you, why is your face so ugly?" Ye Jianqing broke away from his hand, shook his head and said: " You go, I'll go back to the shop first."

He returned to the Songfeng Pavilion in a daze all the way, and he was out of his mind the whole afternoon, and he almost miscalculated the account.The shopkeeper really couldn't stand it, because he was introduced by the boss, and it was not easy to scold him, so he sent him home early.Ye Jianqing went all the way back to Tianshui Lane, and at the entrance of the alley, he saw two people, a man and a woman, walking slowly in front of them.

The man was tall and thin, wearing a Gejin long cloth shirt, carrying a bunch of green rice dumplings in one hand, each of them was full, and strung with wicker;Next to him was a little girl in a green shirt and yellow skirt, bouncing around, holding a jar of wine in her arms.Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and these two people are probably visiting relatives.During festive seasons, Ye Jianqing was so depressed that he missed his relatives so much that he passed from behind and walked in front of the two of them.

The little girl suddenly yelled: "Aiya, isn't that who, who is it?" The man beside her lowered his head and said, "Lanshan, what are you talking about?" Little Lanshan pouted forward and said, "He is not Gu Jiaozhu Apprentice? Hey, you, what about you!"

Ye Jianqing stamped her feet abruptly, and looked back, the two were vaguely familiar, but couldn't remember it for a moment.The man was surprised when he saw him, and he came up and said, "Young master, we meet again. Two or three months ago, you and I met once at Sihai Casino." When he said this, Ye Jianqing did have an impression: "You are the shopkeeper of the scholar! You are the little maid in Tsing Yi." Li Sihai smiled, he was carrying things in both hands, so it was not easy to bow, so he just nodded.Xiao Lanshan was unhappy and said, "I have a name~"

Li Sihai continued to walk forward, Ye Jianqing couldn't figure it out for a while, and followed him, seeing him go directly to the door of his house and stopped.It was also a courtyard house. Ye Jianqing remembered that when he went out a few days ago, he saw the red paper "For Sale of Lucky House" on the opposite tung oil door, but it disappeared at some point.Li Sihai was silent for a while, looking at Ye Jianqing who was looking to the side in surprise, not understanding why he was standing still.Lan Shan wondered: "We are here to see Master Gu, why don't you open the door and invite us in?"

Ye Jianqing seemed to have eaten a toad or toad, with his mouth wide open, unable to speak.At this moment, only a "squeak" was heard, and the door opened.A young man in Tsing Yi stood inside the door, glanced at the three of them, and said calmly, "Come in."
