Qingyun Weiyang

Chapter 19: IOU

Yunjin set off from the central gate in a carriage, and Nalanqing drove away from the side gate. She had to arrive before Yunjin arrived, and she had to change her clothes and appearance. Shihan bought off the guards at the palace gate in advance. Unimpededly rushed to the meeting place Nalan Chamber of Commerce.

In order not to be discovered, Nalan Qing took another shortcut.As soon as she stepped into the chamber of commerce, Duan Yitian bowed to her, "My subordinates will see the lord. I didn't know the lord was coming before, and I didn't recognize him. I deserve death." How could he think that the queen mother's commander is his master.

"Excuse me." Na Lanqing didn't have time to greet him, and hurried into the wing room, she asked Shihan to privately inform Duan Yitian that she was coming here, and prepared everything she needed.

"Young one, go to the roof and watch over it. Please hurry up, my lord. The carriage is not slow." Shi Han said, leaping from the window to the roof, looking in the direction of the palace, and reporting Yun Jin's whereabouts to Nalan Qing at any time.

There were two maidservants waiting in the wing room, and when they saw Nalan Qing, they saluted slightly, she nodded, and sat in front of the makeup mirror quite gracefully.She raised her head and peeled lightly from the side of her cheekbones, only to see that her face seemed to be shedding a layer of skin, revealing a stunning face.She quickly tore off the nipples, let down her watery long hair, and two women quickly braided her hair into a bun.

Everything was carried out quickly and tensely, and she changed into Nalan Qing's original appearance as if she had changed her face in an instant.

"You guys go down first." Nalan Qing dismissed the two maidservants, they did not dare to say anything, and immediately left the room.

When she traveled around the world, she always dressed in simple, not luxurious clothes. Looking at the few sets of embroidered and luxurious clothes, she chose the most low-key light blue. She vaguely remembered that Yun Jin always liked to wear elegant clothes.

"Master, the Empress Dowager's carriage is coming soon." Shi Han knocked on the door lightly.

"understood."

The timing was just right, Nalanqing prepared the tea break in advance, and walked to the attic, where he climbed up and looked into the distance, and could see Yun Jin's carriage approaching the entrance of the chamber of commerce.

Yun Jin seldom went out of the palace. When she was Princess Xian, she often lived in the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager. After Qin Yu succeeded to the throne, she lived even more deeply in the palace. She hadn't seen the prosperity of Jidu for a long time.

In order to keep this trip secret, she left the palace in a low-key manner, only bringing Yuan Xi and two accompanying guards with her.Yun Jin vaguely remembered the meeting five years ago, the meeting of the four countries, she sat in the banquet as the concubine Xian, just glanced at Nalan Qing, and felt that she was graceful.At that time, the first empress and Princess Yu were fighting openly and covertly, but she had a look of seeing through the world and drank leisurely alone.

They had never negotiated, and even before Nalan Qing left the palace, the two had only met once, and then they only exchanged letters.This farewell, I didn't expect to see you again under such circumstances.

"Cao Min sees the Queen Mother." Duan Yitian saw Yun Jin for the first time, knelt down and dared not raise his head.

"Excuse me, where is Patriarch Nalan?"

"The Queen Mother, please come with the grassroots." Duan Yitian raised his head, and he didn't even dare to look up at Yun Jin's face. Can't go wrong.

The attic of the chamber of commerce is covered with flowers, accompanied by the fragrance of tea, blowing towards the face, refreshing.

As soon as Yun Jin stepped into the attic, he saw the figure of a woman, standing in the depths like a blue butterfly among flowers.She stood with her hands behind her back, her elegant figure had a kind of indifference to everything.

Xu Shi heard the sound of Yun Jin approaching, she turned her head slightly, and in a blink of an eye, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, which immediately eclipsed all the flowers in the attic.She stepped forward, her brows were newly opened, and there was a trace of unruly in her coldness, "Nalan Qing, a civilian girl, kowtowed to the Queen Mother."

Yun Jin's eyes froze for a moment, until he heard Nalan Qing speak.

"Patriarch Nalan, no courtesy." It was the first time Yun Jin met her up close, and after a long absence, she had no sense of entanglement. Instead, she was like an old friend who had known her for a long time, and she was no stranger.

"Farewell five years ago, the Queen Mother will be safe and sound." Nalan Qing was neither humble nor overbearing, and made a gesture of invitation to her.

"This time Patriarch Nalan was able to come to Jidu in person, and the Ai family is very pleased." Both of them were well-mannered and polite, and neither of them went beyond the etiquette.

"The Nalan family has been granted the title of Imperial Merchant by the Empress Dowager's grace. This time the common people encountered a plague of locusts, so they should advance and retreat with the imperial court." Nalan Qing moved the cup with ten fingers, making tea familiarly.

The attic is breezy, and the irises beside the table are particularly eye-catching, fiery red.The warm sun shines down through the wooden eaves, and falls on the tea table. The light is dense, reflecting Nalan Qing's beautiful face.

Yun Jin looked at her in a daze again, for some reason, although she hadn't seen her for five years, she always had a sense of familiarity and even intimacy, maybe it was a letter acquaintance, or something else.She is not thoughtful and too deep, and only cares about the disaster relief situation.

"The people have been severely affected by the disaster this time, no less than the drought that year. The Ai family has allocated the first amount of food, but it is only a drop in the ocean. That's why I want to ask the Nalan family to help."

"Of course, I will prepare the money for the Queen Mother, so you don't have to worry." Nalan Qing seemed to know everything, and his expression did not change when he mentioned money and food.

Yun Jin felt that she was the unfathomable person, her overly calm attitude towards worldly affairs made Yun Jin uneasy.Is the richest man in the world really so desireless?

"The Ai family has something to ask for, and I hope the Patriarch will fulfill it."

"The empress dowager is really in trouble. You say yes." Nalanqing bowed slightly, finally waiting for what she wanted to hear. Until this moment, she didn't know what Yun Jin wanted to ask.

Yun Jin stood up, walked to the fence, overlooking Jidu Shili, and the people were peaceful.Once she made this request, Nalan Qing would doubt whether she was on guard against the Nalan family, it was really a dilemma.

Nalan Qing also stood up, walked to her side, saw her hesitate to speak, and saw her sigh slightly, "Don't worry about it, Queen Mother, if I can help you, I will do my best."

"The Ai family hopes that the Nalan family can help each other in private this time. The court Ai family will suppress the words of all officials. The Nalan family will still look to the Patriarch..." Yun Jin didn't finish speaking, but only looked at him tentatively. Nalan Qing.

It turned out that Yunjin's concern was this... She was afraid that the Nalan family would win the hearts of the people by publicizing the disaster relief, and she was also afraid that the people would criticize the court, and even the disaster relief would have to be done by the Nalan family.

For the ruler, this is indeed understandable, and she can understand it.But for the Nalan family, for a businessman, it is really a loss-making business. The good word-of-mouth of the disaster relief will help the development of other industries of the Nalan family. If they are so unknown, what can the Nalan family gain?

Nalan Qing believed that Yun Jin must have considered these things long ago, and that's why she was in such a difficult situation, and what she said to herself before, if she wanted to think about how to get the Nalan family to take action, it was probably because of this reason.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Yun Jin deliberately said, "If the Patriarch is in trouble..."

"No embarrassment, but in order to be able to explain to the clansmen, I also have a request, and I hope the Queen Mother will fulfill it." Nalan Qing's deep eyes revealed a glimmer of light. For her, she could unconditionally obey any of Yun Jin's requests. But that would make Yun Jin even more uneasy.

Since she feels that she is a businessman, she will definitely propose an exchange of benefits, then she will be a real businessman, so that Yun Jin can accept her help with peace of mind.

"Patriarch, please tell me." Yun Jin was indeed relieved. It is normal for Na Lanqing to hesitate, and it is reasonable to ask, otherwise it would be terrible. There is no unreasonable help in this world, let alone such a shrewd businessman. .

Nalan Qingyan smiled cleverly, like a hibiscus blooming beautifully, she raised her slender hand slightly, and pointed not far away, "I want that building."

"Suyuan Building?" Yun Jin's eyes were a little surprised. This building has been sealed for five years. It was sealed up during the Empress's time because it was discovered that it was the stronghold of the Shura Sect of Yu Country.

All the things that happened that year are vivid in my mind. There was a legendary woman in this building, who was hailed as the beauty of Qinghe, and later named the most beautiful woman in the world, and this legendary woman was Yun Jin's half-born younger sister.There have been too many stories and turmoil in this building, but now no one dares to mention it, and she has never managed it. Unexpectedly, Nalanqing actually took a fancy to it.

"Suyuan Building is adjacent to the Qinghe River, which runs through the entire capital of Hebei. It collects water for wealth. It is a favorite place for businessmen. This building has six floors, luxurious style, and its architectural form is also unique. Such a building It's a pity that the building was closed." Nalan Qing said eloquently, analyzing why she liked this building from the perspective of a businessman, only in this way would Yun Jin feel that it should be taken for granted and would not think too much about it.

"Patriarch Nalan sees a business opportunity?"

"Yes, besides, the Suyuan Building was also a place of wind, flowers, snow and moon, which was famous all over the world. My Nalan family is short of a landmark building in Jidu. If this building comes into my hands, I will make it shine again and become the number one building in the world. " Nalan Qingyang's self-confidence on her face added a bit of charm to her, and there was an awe-inspiring majesty in her words of business advice.

"It's just a Suyuan building. How can it compare with the Nalan family's disaster relief? You still lose money on this business." Although the Suyuan building is valuable, it is not as good as the Nalan family's huge wealth for disaster relief. It doesn't seem loud enough.

As Na Lanqing thought, Yun Jin was really the one who put her interests first, fortunately she was prepared.

"Naturally not enough." Nalan Qing beckoned, and saw a maid coming here with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Yuanxi on the side was very surprised, seeing Nalan Qing here, she was already extremely shocked, she can still cope with it so freely, facing the queen mother's doubts and conditions, she is so calm, as if she can guess what the queen mother is thinking.

What will I do with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that will come up now?

Yun Jin glanced at the paper and ink on the table, and said with a smile, "You won't let Aijia write you an IOU, will you?"

"Yes, I can't get what I want now, and I will ask you to get this favor back in the future." Nalanqing smiled meaningfully, looking at Yunjin with focused and hot eyes, deep eyes as if The stars are full of unknown mysteries.

This look was really familiar, and at a certain moment, Yun Jin thought of her commander.

"The Ai family didn't bring Fengxi."

"That's not necessary, as long as the empress dowager owes Nalan Qing a favor in her own handwriting, it will be fine in the future. Please write your name, not the empress dowager..." Nalan Qing's behavior made Yun Jin more and more angry. I don't understand, huge profits turned into favors?Without Fengxi, this piece of paper would not be considered Yizhi, and it would not cause any trouble in the future.

"I hope the Ai family can afford to pay back the favor of the master." Yun Jin really didn't know what she wanted.

Nalanqing suddenly leaned over, the wind carried the faint fragrance of her body, and that familiar feeling hit her heart again.Her face was very close to Yun Jin's, and she could feel a sense of warmth between her breaths. Her clear eyes were like a bright moon, reflecting Yun Jin's calm eyes.

"What I want, in this world only you can give it." Nalanqing smiled even more, this sentence seemed to contain the fragrance of flowers, like an orchid, which made Yun Jin's heart beat suddenly faster.

It's just that under her efforts to restrain herself, that beautiful face is still as calm as it should be. She just smiled lightly, then lowered her head while holding the pen.Still able to avoid Nalan Qing's eyes looking directly into his heart, this sudden approach reminded Yun Jin of the time when he was questioned by Lan Qing, it was so similar.Not only are their behaviors similar, but Yunjin's feelings are also exactly the same.

Nalan Qing's words sounded a bit strange, but it couldn't be said that it was weird, Yun Jin couldn't think about it any further.

She was writing the book, and the way she focused on writing was so beautiful that Nalan Qing couldn't bear to look away.

Yuanxi who was on the side understood it. The Patriarch Nalan is asking the Queen Mother to sign a contract of sale. This cannot be repaid with money. Could it be possible to agree with her body in the future?She really couldn't laugh or cry in her heart, queen mother, the master of the house is a shrewd businessman, no matter what, he will not let himself suffer, even if you plan the world, I am afraid it will be difficult to guess the meaning of the house master.
