Chi Mu waited year after year at the Yanyu Bridge they agreed on.
Last year, Chi Moyan persuaded her to go to Beijing together to find her father, and the two of them came all the way to the capital.
"I didn't find out." Chi Moyan replied, with a dark and unclear look in his eyes.
"Oh, I'm afraid there was an accident, otherwise he would have come back to us long ago." Chi's mother sighed quietly, her tone full of worry.
Chi Moyan sneered in his heart, what's the surprise?
He had already found that person.
The name and address he gave to his mother were all false, and he had no intention of letting Chi Mu find him again...
But he accidentally left a sachet behind.
Chi Moyan found out clearly that the pattern embroidered on the sachet was the emblem of the Lin family.
The Lin family was an aristocratic family in the capital, not an "ordinary family" as he and Chi's mother had said. It was impossible for him to marry a businesswoman.
Before he went to Jiangnan, he had become the son-in-law of an important cabinet minister. Only at such a young age could he reach the rank of Minister of Rites.
Chi Moyan went to Lin Yide privately to seek justice for his mother.
But the opponent beat him out.
No mercy, almost beaten to death...
He must become a Jinshi in high school, he must stand out, and Lin Yide must kneel down and beg him!
Chi Moyan's eyes were cold, but facing his mother's worried face, he couldn't tell the truth.
My mother is infatuated, and it is her belief in meeting Lin Yide that has sustained her until today.
He didn't care about the man or whose son he was.
But he only has this mother.
"Don't think too much, you will see us one day." Chi Moyan comforted, helped the old woman out of the courtyard, and changed the subject:
"The sunshine is very good today, please take a good rest in the sun. My son is going to a study today. There is a very powerful scholar there. Many people want to become his disciples. My son wants to stay there and try to get some opportunities."
"This is a good thing! Go quickly..." As soon as Chi's mother heard the news about her son's studies, she turned and went to the kitchen: "I steamed the steamed buns, and you can eat them when you are hungry. By the way, there are also Send my Haitangchun fan to senior..."
"Mother, that is your hard work..."
"I was planning to sell it to study for you, but now our family can only give away this fan. Since you are a disciple, I have to give you the most precious apprenticeship gift to show your sincerity. I hope your senior will accept it. you……"
Chi Moyan was forcefully stuffed by Chi's mother with two pieces of steamed buns stuffed with plain stuffing in a bag and an exquisite sandalwood brocade box.
His eyes were slightly sour, he quietly hid the brocade box in the closet, and went out with only the steamed buns.
That fan uses a lost skill - Qianjin embroidery.
Worth a thousand dollars, but very troublesome.
It was because my mother took over the job of the embroidery workshop that she became blind in one eye. She can no longer embroider a thousand pieces of embroidery, so Haitang Spring is her last effort.
……
Qingshi Street, Wanjuan Study Room.
Zhou Xiucai was very serious about the errands given by the Crown Princess.
He has found someone to find out clearly, this Crown Princess is the most important person in the Prince of the North's heart!
He didn't expect that he would waste his whole life and hug such a big tree in his old age. How could he dare to deal with it.
Not to mention Song Heng.
For a small amount of money, go for it!
The two of them had been working diligently to screen the news and write articles...
But after Qiuniang brought back the latest instructions from the Crown Princess...
Zhou Xiucai and Song Heng looked at each other, "I'm not going to sleep tonight, young man, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. But senior, you..."
"Haha, don't underestimate me. I also had a headache and a thorn in my buttocks and studied hard for ten years before I was admitted as a scholar. I just stayed up all night..."
What reader can't look forward to the second issue of Qianqiu?
Even after reading the book, Zhou Xiucai, who was over sixty years old, could not wait to write a few more volumes of articles to try to win the election.
So early the next morning, the second volume of Qianqiu, written by Zhou Xiucai and Song Heng, was freshly released.
……
Chunfeng Tower, the place of romance.
Xie Lingxi, dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, sat lazily in the elegant room on the second floor, lazily drinking and listening to music.
This is the time for duty, but as a dandy, it is naturally impossible to stay in the Yamen.
"Young Master, there is no news about the strange medicine from the Xihai Gang, and there is currently no progress at Wanjin Trading Company." Xiao Nanxing reported.
Ever since the young master's study was given to the imperial concubine, they had no choice but to change places as they conspired.
Xie Lingxi's eyes were cold, and she still listened to the music calmly, showing no emotion or anger.
"Recently, there has been another force on the black market that is collecting the Nine Wonderful Medicines. After investigation by my subordinates, they found out that they were from Princess Anyang." Xiao Nanxing looked puzzled:
"I really don't understand why she insists on targeting the Crown Princess. Not only do the Crown Prince's parents have no enmity with her, but they are supposedly kind to her. When she gave birth to a daughter with difficulty, it was Bai who treated her and kept her safe. I really don’t understand, what on earth is she thinking?”
Since the Peony Banquet.
Xie Lingxi ordered Xiao Nanxing to check Princess Anyang.
But there was no trace of any interaction between her and the Crown Princess's parents. The only interaction was that she saved her life.
"Keep an eye on the news from the eldest princess's house and intercept it at any time." Xie Lingxi's voice was cold.
"Yes!" Xiao Nanxing accepted the order.
After reporting the official business, Xiao Nanxing did not miss any opportunity to flatter him and said:
"Young Master, the imperial concubine is really good at business. Nowadays, no one in the entire capital knows about "Qianqiu", and countless readers are eagerly looking forward to the second volume of "Qianqiu". I believe that when the second issue is printed, Wanjuan Study will be able to make a lot of money. The bowl is full.”
"Such a genius and young master are a perfect match for you, a perfect match!"
The young master likes the imperial concubine. We are subordinates and we mainly focus on giving thoughtful compliments.
The one who praises is the crown prince, the one who is happy is the young master, and the one who gets the reward is himself.
What is this called? It's a win-win-win.
As expected, the coldness in Xie Lingxi's eyes dissipated a little, "I think she wants to do more than just business."
"Then what else does the Crown Princess want to do?" Xiao Nanxing asked curiously.
"Selected articles from the time, a sharp weapon for the imperial examination. The sword is pointed at the court, and the ambition is not small." Xie Lingxi chuckled.
Xiao Nanxing was a little confused and didn't know why. The imperial concubine is just a woman. Even if she is talented, she cannot take part in the imperial examination and become an official. Why is she pointing her finger at the court?
Outside the door, Jingzhe came to report: "Master, Jade wants to see you."
"Yesterday, Qiuniang sent a bunch of apprenticeship posts. The imperial concubine selected a person for my servant to investigate." Jade bowed and reported: "I have inquired about this person. He is from Jiangnan and came to the capital last year. Jiangnan is thousands of miles away, my servant. I am afraid that I may have made any omissions, so I came here to ask the prince for instructions."
This requires the use of outside manpower.
She doesn't have this authority.
When Xiao Nanxing heard this, he was slightly stunned, "Apprenticeship notice? Could it be that the Crown Princess wants to accept students? Then we really need to find out this person's character."
"Jingzhe, the people who sent the message to Jiangnan should investigate thoroughly." Xie Lingxi took over.
"Yes." Jingzhe accepted the order.
Jade was relieved and bowed to leave. The prince is as reliable and reassuring as ever!
