MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 78 vinegar
The Prince's expression was unclear, and he did not speak. Lin Hui gave his daughter a wink, and Lin Miao retreated to the rear of Lin Hui and took a seat.
Wang Jingyan sneered, a small family, what His Royal Highness has never seen before, want you to accompany you, a paper man with little water, to play the qin?
Wang Jingyan spoke up:
"His Royal Highness is happy and quiet. I'm afraid it won't be too comfortable to live in the Governor's Mansion. The Yu family has prepared a garden for His Royal Highness. Yiyuan has a quiet environment and pleasant scenery, which is more suitable for His Royal Highness to rest."
"Yu family should serve His Highness wholeheartedly." Yu Shenghai stood up and bowed to the crown prince.
Lin Hui's face is not good-looking, and he is quite displeased with the house's horizontal penetration.
At the banquet, a wealthy businessman who was close to his family complimented and praised:
"Yangzhou's four famous gardens, Yiyuan is the second, it can be said that it is a masterpiece of gardening, and there are scenes everywhere."
A staff member of the Prince’s Palace was not familiar with Yangzhou, so he asked curiously:
"Who is the head of the four gardens?"
The voices of these two were not deliberately suppressed, and their voices could be clearly heard in the ears of everyone in the room.
The rich businessman then introduced:
"The four famous gardens in Yangzhou are Liuyuan, Yiyuan, Cangxilin, and Luohuazhuang."
"Among them, Liuyuan and Cangxilin belong to the famous Yu Qingfeng. I was fortunate enough to go into the front yard of Liuyuan once. It was really a wonderful practice, and it is a must for garden building. However, the whereabouts of Yu Qingfeng's boss Ji are uncertain. Few outsiders step into the two gardens, and I also know very little about them."
As soon as these words came out, all the staff of the Prince's Mansion turned their attention to the Zhaoren County Lord.
On the other hand, Qin Yan didn't show any emotion on his face, and the old **** was playing with the cup in his hand on the ground.
Wang Jingyan continued to speak upwards:
"If His Royal Highness wants to relieve fatigue, I can take His Highness to Lingshan in the suburbs of Yangzhou in the spare time of His Royal Highness's official business. It happens that Yu's family has a village on Lingshan, and has circled several excellent springs. The soup pool there is very effective for recuperation. , Your Highness can go and try it."
"I know that your Highness is good at tea. The cold spring on Lingshan is famous far and wide. It is also wonderful to make tea."
Everything Wang Jingyan said showed her familiarity with His Royal Highness, and everyone at the dinner was speculating whether this Miss Wang had a close relationship with His Royal Highness.
Another wealthy businessman at the table praised:
"Yu's family's villa on Lingshan has an excellent location. It is second only to Yu Qingfeng's Weimingzhuang, who has circled the entire top of the mountain on the main peak of Lingshan. I am very envious."
Wang Jingyan was very satisfied with the narration added by the Shibo. Due to the relationship of her father, the left minister, the Yu family could be regarded as the richest man in Yangzhou these years, and everyone in the circle would give the Yu family a bit of thin noodles.
Wang Jingyan thought that their conversation was to show her family's financial resources and to increase her bargaining chips, but she did not know that the repeated mention of Yu Qingfeng was somewhat ironic in front of insiders.
All the staff of the Prince's Mansion were embarrassed for Wang Jingyan when they saw her, and their eyes frequently turned to Zhaoren County Master.
According to the words of Second Miss Wang and those wealthy businessmen, Yu Qingfeng still wants to overwhelm them, so do they know that they are bragging and showing off in front of Yu Qingfeng's righteous master.
------
Lin Hui didn't want to continue this topic, the prince didn't say anything, so there is no conclusion about where the prince has settled these days. After waiting for a while, the banquet was over, and I invited His Highness the Crown Prince once again. His Highness would be working in the Governor's Office, and I thought that I had a better chance of winning.
Lin Hui immediately spoke:
"The floods in the south of the Yangtze River have been severely affected this time. Colleagues and bosses, please donate actively to help the disaster relief, and let His Royal Highness see that our Yangzhou people are not scattered and govern themselves."
Although Wang Jingyan was not satisfied with Lin Hui's digression, since she had already talked about business affairs, and it was still the main topic of today's banquet, she didn't want to say anything more. As the cousin of His Royal Highness, there are more opportunities and reasons to approach the prince, so don't be in a hurry.
Before the wealthy businessmen came, Lord Lin sent them news, and they all estimated a suitable number in their hearts.
Everyone began to report the amount of money, 50,000 taels of silver, 100,000 taels of silver... The one who donated the most was the owner of the Yu family, 200,000 taels of silver, and everyone praised the boss for his righteousness.
At this moment, the middle-aged man with a big belly suddenly asked Lin Hui:
"Master Lin, why don't you see Yu Qingfeng's boss Ji on such an important occasion today?"
The purpose that these people pursue is to enjoy their own blessings, and they do not want to escape when they are in trouble.
Everyone understands that today is a feast of Hongmen, and Lord Lin made it clear that he wants to scrape them off, so it makes no sense that Yu Qingfeng can escape.
Lin Hui didn't look good either, so he said perfunctorily:
"Boss Ji sent someone to spread the word, saying that he has something to do and he will be late." Lin Hui glanced at His Royal Highness, who was on the top, and he didn't know what to say. This Boss Ji is really, what matters are so important , even the pigeons of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dare to be released, but are they still late?
Everyone saw that the only vacant seat on the table was below the Zhaoren County Lord, which seemed to be the original position of Boss Ji.
Everyone whispered, Yu Qingfeng so arrogant? Boss Ji doesn't even give face to His Royal Highness?
Only the staff of the Prince's Mansion are clear in their hearts. This is Boss Ji's arrogance. It is because His Royal Highness doted on the master Zhaoren County...
This said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.
Ji Nanfeng, dressed in an indigo brocade robe, was led into the hall by the servants of the governor's mansion and bowed upwards:
"His Royal Highness, Lord Lin."
The prince at the top still couldn't see the change in his expression.
Lin Hui breathed a sigh of relief, this person is finally here, Boss Ji is a big rich man, today Yu Qingfeng must have some blood to count.
But Lin Hui's heart suddenly tightened again. I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be angry with Boss Ji's late arrival?
These businessmen are spoiled by their usual business practices, and they don't know that dealing with the royal family is a matter of losing their heads if they are not careful.
Lin Hui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Ji Nanfeng:
"Boss Ji punished himself three cups and apologized to His Royal Highness."
Lin Hui ordered someone to serve a wine cup and send it to Ji Nanfeng.
------
But Zhaoren County Lord's sudden speech interrupted Ji Nanfeng's movement of reaching for the wine cup.
"I let him go to work."
As soon as these words came out, all eyes on the table turned to Qin Yan, the pale-looking Zhaoren County Lord.
What does Zhaoren County Lord mean?
Let Mr. Ji go to work?
What is the relationship between Zhaoren County Lord and Boss Ji?
Wang Jingyan did not hide her surprise, this is Boss Ji? She had seen this person before. That day, at the Shangjing Wharf, when His Royal Highness the Prince set off, this Boss Ji was there, asking for instructions from County Master Zhaoren to get on the boat...
Yu Qingfeng's Boss Ji is very respectful to Qin Yan, the Lord of Zhaoren County, and seems to call the Lord of Zhaoren County... the Lord?
Wang Jingyan's breathing was slightly stagnant, it must not be what she thought...
Feng Zhan's face darkened slightly, Qin Yan was blocking the wine for Ji Nanfeng?
The atmosphere in the hall froze for a moment, and then Feng Zhan sighed helplessly and waved his hand.
Seeing this, Lin Hui hurriedly spoke:
"Boss Ji, please take a seat."
The big stone in Lin Hui's heart fell. Although these were Bai Ding's businessmen, they all had a backstage behind them, and many of the masters behind them were powerful people in Shangjing.
Although Lin Hui is the governor of Yangzhou, in his own name on weekdays, he may not necessarily attract these wealthy businessmen with eyes above the top.
This Mr. Ji behaves like this, maybe the person behind him should not be underestimated, Zhaoren County Lord...
------
Ji Nanfeng was led to the position below Qin Yan, but did not take a seat immediately, but faced Qin Yan and bowed slightly:
"master."
Qin Yan nodded.
Ji Nanfeng took his seat.
people...
What does Boss Ji call the Lord of Zhaoren County?
master?
Everyone was surprised, Zhaoren County Master is the master of Boss Ji?
Then there is nothing to understand. It turns out that this Zhaoren County Lord is the boss behind Yu Qingfeng.
After Ji Nanfeng took his seat, he said to Qin Yan:
"Master, everything has been arranged in Liuyuan."
"Yeah." Qin Yan ignored the many fiery and inquiring eyes from the people at the table.
-------
At this time, Lin Hui didn't know the donation that he should have mentioned to Boss Ji. At this time, he should tell Boss Ji that it was Zhaoren County Master.
Lin Hui pondered for a moment, but still bite the bullet and said in the direction of Boss Ji:
"Boss Ji, should Yu Qingfeng also contribute to disaster relief?"
Everyone was sweating for Lord Lin. The Zhaoren County Lord had an unusual relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Boss Ji was from the Zhaoren County Lord, and Lord Lin continued to pluck Yu Qingfeng's hair in front of the Zhaoren County Lord on this occasion. What a hero, a hero...
Ji Nanfeng didn't say anything, whether to donate money or not, and how much it would be, still had to be decided by the master.
It is common for Yu Qingfeng to donate money, but the master does not like other people's finger-pointing. It seems that today, Lord Lin is going to be disappointed.
Feng Zhan saw Qin Yan's face slightly restrained, and seemed to understand Qin Yan's displeasure.
Feng Zhan didn't want others to ruin Qin Yan's mood, otherwise it would be him who would suffer more, Feng Zhan was silent for a moment, and said to Qin Yan:
"These few days, do you live in Liuyuan?"
Feng Zhan could read lips, so Feng Zhan knew what Ji Nanfeng said to Qin Yan just now.
As soon as His Royal Highness's words came out, everyone at the table confirmed the news that Zhaoren County Master was the real master of Yu Qingfeng.
Darling, everyone has guessed on weekdays that Yu Qingfeng, the first wealthy businessman in Daxia by default in the circle, must have a powerful backer behind him.
At this time, Wang Jingyan really felt embarrassed and embarrassed for what she just said, and she was just making clothes for Qin Yan.
The Yu family can be regarded as the richest man in Yangzhou, but Yu Qingfeng is still pushing him. Unexpectedly, the master behind Yu Qingfeng is Qin Yan, the master of Zhaoren County.
Wang Jingyan received the meaningful glances from the people next to her, and she wanted to find a crack and burrow into it immediately.
------
Qin Yan guessed what the prince was thinking, but she just looked back at the prince with a light expression and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Everyone at the table saw that Zhaoren County Lord's questioning to the prince was an attitude of almost indifference, but the prince was still not angry, as if he was indulging the Zhaoren County Lord.
To say that there is no invisible relationship between the two of them in private, no ghost would believe it.
Feng Zhan's eyes were fixed on Qin Yan's face, and he continued to speak:
"In these few days of being alone in Yangzhou, when Liuyuan is requisitioned, does Zhaoren County Master have any objection?"
Qin Yan…
Is this a robbery?
Under the watchful eyes of the public, the prince was roasting her on the fire, and she also sacrificed Yu Qingfeng's name at this time, can she say no?
Qin Yan didn't answer, Feng Zhan assumed she agreed and arranged to Lin Hui sideways:
"Tomorrow morning, the government office will discuss matters, let's go."
After the prince and the county master of Zhaoren left, everyone whispered excitedly. Yu Qingfeng's details finally surfaced. This first-hand news was enough for them to brag for a long time.
Lin Hui's face was not good-looking, but Lin Miao still had expectations in her heart that His Highness the Crown Prince would go to the Governor's Office to discuss matters in these days, and he still had a chance.
However, Yu Shenghai was so angry that he donated 200,000 taels, but the limelight was robbed by Yu Qingfeng who didn't pay a cent.
This is not the place to talk, Yu Shenghai took Wang Jingyan to leave quickly.
After exiting the hall, Yu Shenghai glared at Wang Jingyan and said in a low voice:
"Today we are embarrassed, so you don't know the origin of this Zhaoren County Master?"
And Wang Jingyan was also holding her breath, Qin Yan, how could she be so lucky and so lucky.
No, you have to act quickly.
------
Yangzhou City, Willow Garden.
Ji Nanfeng methodically arranged everyone in the Prince's Mansion.
After entering the garden, the staff of the Prince’s House did not rush back to their rooms. Although it was already night, they were all enjoying the scenery in the garden with the moonlight and the lights, and they were full of praise.
The garden is ingeniously borrowed scenery, the veranda is winding, ever-changing, interspersed with powder walls and leaking windows. Through the green curtains hung by the vines hanging from the gaps between the rocks, waves and water shadows can be vaguely seen, adding more interest.
Song Zhi ordered everyone not to make too much noise, and everyone returned to the guest room with no end in sight, and made an appointment to enjoy it in the daytime.
------
Qin Yan returned to his yard and immediately ran into the fragrant soup.
In the soup pool, Qin Yan, who was leaning against the pool and closed his eyes to relax his body, suddenly said in a low voice:
"Shen Ying."
"Master." Shen Ying from outside the screen replied with concentration.
Qin Yan slowly raised his eyes, and through the dense mist on the water, he looked at the white jade screen with the pictures of ladies with hairpins on the opposite side, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Please come over, His Royal Highness."
Shen Ying, who was outside, froze when she heard the master's order.
This…
Only the master... Please come over, His Royal Highness?
Shen Ying led the order out.
Qin Yan slowly raised his jade arm, creating ripples on the misty water surface.
It's time to ask the prince for interest.
------
Song Zhi handed the information in his hand to the prince.
"Your Highness, this is news from Beijing."
Feng Zhan quickly read several letters one by one.
"Tell them to follow the plan."
After the sound fell, a guard went to the door and said:
"His Royal Highness, Miss Wang Er of Zuo Xiangfu is visiting."
Song Zhi…
Visiting at night?
Sima Zhao's Heart...
But Song Zhi suddenly thought of something, and tentatively opened his mouth:
"His Royal Highness, sometimes you might as well use some means... If you occasionally let the county master be jealous, maybe..."
"No need." Feng Zhan raised his eyes coldly, with an irrefutable affirmation in his words.
"She is lonely."
Feng Zhan was convinced that Qin Yan had a heart, and was probably related to the royal family. This gap must be resolved, but his identity cannot be changed. He must know what Qin Yan's concerns are as soon as possible.
Song Zhi asked:
"Then, let Miss Wang go back?"
Seeing that his Highness's eyes were getting colder and colder, Song Zhi felt a thrill in his heart, what His Highness meant...that needless to say.
Song Zhi immediately went out, ordered someone to send Miss Wang Er who had already arrived at the gate of the Prince's Court, and told the guards at the gate not to let Second Miss Wang enter the garden again.
------
Shen Ying had just arrived not far from the courtyard that Mr. Ji had arranged for the prince, when she saw Wang Jingyan, the second young lady of the Zuo Xiangfu's residence, dressed in cool clothes and well-dressed, walking towards the prince's courtyard.
Shen Ying's anger suddenly rose, Oh, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really blessed.
Shen Ying angrily turned around and left, what else is there to ask for, do you want to block the master?
Just as Qin Yan in the soup pool was about to get up, Shen Ying rushed back outside.
"Master, the second miss of the Wang family went to the courtyard of His Royal Highness the Prince, and his subordinates reckoned that His Royal Highness might be too busy, so they turned back."
Qin Yan frowned and recalled, who is the second lady of the Wang family?
Oh, the one at the banquet today, the one who invited the prince to settle in Yiyuan, and the one who invited the prince to take a fragrant soup in Lingshan, the second lady of Zuo Xiangfu.
Oh, the prince is really a sweet pastry.
Qin Yan took back the movement of getting up, closed his eyes, and let his whole body sink into the water again, washing away his brain heat just now.
Have you almost lost your mind?
The same group of women competing for men?
Feng Zhan can catch his eyes because there are too few men he has tried.
It's just a man, wouldn't it be nice to raise a group of well-behaved and obedient faces?
------
Qin Yan came out of the soup pool and took a hot tea from Shen Ying who was still angry. Qin Yan sniffed, it should be the flower and fruit tea prepared by Mr. Ji.
Qin Yan took a sip, put it back on the tray in Shen Ying's hand, and said softly:
"Go to Cangxi Forest, and leave Liuyuan to the Crown Prince these few days."
When Ji Nanfeng received this news from Shen Ying, he was shocked.
what happened?
At this time, it is Hai Shi, and the master is going to move out overnight?
Ji Nanfeng's work efficiency is extremely high, but in just one stick of incense, he ordered someone to clear up his master's accompanying items and left Liuyuan with Qin Yan. Cangxilin had made preparations in advance, and it was originally meant to be carried by the master, and the master's usual things were also readily available there.
------
Feng Zhan took off his outer robe and wore only his middle clothes, but he still had some headaches. He spread his legs and sat on the edge of the couch, pressing his eyebrows with his hands.
Song Zhi's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, there is an urgent matter to report."
"Come in." Feng Zhan said, but he still didn't look up.
Song Zhi gently pushed the door and came in, with a worried look on his face.
"His Royal Highness, Zhaoren County Lord and his party have left the garden."
Feng Zhan raised his head suddenly, his cold and sharp eyes made Song Zhi's scalp tingle.
Song Zhi gritted his teeth and continued:
"The county master sent someone to bring the message, saying that the garden is reserved for His Highness these few days."
"The county owner... seems to have moved out."
Feng Zhan's face was sinking like water at this time, and the atmosphere in the room was instantly depressing, making Song Zhi almost breathless.
Song Zhi felt a chill from his feet, and it rushed to the sky, but he still had to continue talking.
"My subordinates learned from the guards who guarded the gate of the courtyard that Shen Ying, who was beside the county master, came to visit when the second lady Wangcai came over, but for some reason, she turned back. The subordinates thought whether Shen Ying saw it. Miss Wang Er…”
Song Zhi was chilled by the cold eyes of his Highness.
Now, is the princess really jealous...
