MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 66 up and down
Chapter 66
Wen Ning calmed down, and she was not as flustered as she was when she first heard the news of the Ryukyu prince's visit.
For a person who has lived two lives, she always reminds herself to be calm and calm, just like when playing chess, every step is carefully considered, otherwise she will never have the chance to live a third life.
So, she is not in a hurry to find Yingyao.
While Wen Lan was taking a rest, she called Wen Qi back, and the three brothers and sisters had a small meeting in Wen Lan's room.
Wen Ning told Wen Qi what she said to Wen Lan again.
Wen Qi quickly accepted Wen Ning's argument, but after hearing Wen Ning's proposal, he raised his brows slightly and looked at Wen Ning with burning eyes: "Will you use the wine from the winery for the dust-cleaning banquet?"
Wen Ning blinked guiltily.
Her second brother is really shrewd.
She just said that the possibility of the wine being tampered with must be eliminated from the source. Of course, more importantly, they must have the opportunity to place their own people into the palace on the day of the cleansing banquet, so the first thing to do now is It is to let Honglu Temple decide to use the wine from the winery.
This matter is not difficult.
Wen Tingchun is the minister of Honglu Temple, and he is fully responsible for these matters. At that time, let Wen Lan go to his side to listen to the wind, the wine shop does not need the imperial court for a penny, the same wine quality, and even they can produce better wine, there is no reason for Honglu Temple not to use their wine.
It's just that as soon as she said it, Wen Qi sensed something was wrong.
Indeed, she initially decided to open a wine shop with Wen Qi, firstly to make money, secondly...to prepare for this day.
After all, the Prince of Ryukyu was poisoned to death by a glass of poisoned wine in his previous life.
Wen Qi probably realized that if he only had that dream in Ci'en Temple, why did he start planning so early?
Wen Ning drank tea, and didn't understand the expression in his eyes.
Wen Qi didn't mean to ask more questions, but instead said: "There are not a few merchants in the capital that provide drinks to the palace for free. Big Brother, it's not easy to hear the wind in your ears, right?"
In fact, in the previous dynasty, all supplies in the palace had corresponding imperial merchants. However, the imperial merchants have raised a group of big businessmen and fattened a group of officials, which is as solid as stagnant water. After Emperor Jiahe came to the throne, in order to revitalize the economy, the imperial merchants were gradually banned, so that new merchants had the opportunity to be associated with the "emperor".
When encountering such a major event between the DPRK and China, many merchants not only supply goods for free, but also pay bribes, just to earn some fame for themselves.
"It's easy!" Wen Ning said confidently, "Brother, just tell daddy that our wine shop does not seek fame or profit, and no list of wine shops will be posted on all wine jars, just to thank Emperor Jiahe for his benevolent government. Present a small gift for the imperial court. Daddy likes Zhuo Qinglian the most, but not a coquettish one. He has tasted the wine and checked his qualifications, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it!"
Wen Lan hadn't interrupted since they talked about the wine shop. She nodded at this moment, looked at her brother and sister, and said with a "hehe" smile: "Okay...the two of you have already set up a wine shop outside? If it wasn't for How long are you going to keep this matter from me? Do you still treat me as your big brother? Huh?"
Wen Ning: "..."
Wen Qi: "..."
"Second brother, haven't you mentioned it to eldest brother?"
"You can't tell me about this?"
"I've lived on the mountain for so long, how could I have the chance to tell my brother!"
"I'm in the military department every day, how can I have the opportunity to tell my brother!"
"your fault!"
"your!"
Wen Lan glared at his younger siblings with a black face: "Stop being so talkative! Let's talk about business!"
-
The three brothers and sisters finally came to a conclusion, and Wen Tingchun had to be persuaded to use his own winery for wine, and the key was to use this as an excuse to force a few of his own people into the palace.
At that time, the people who will enter the palace to deliver wine have been selected. Wen Qi strongly recommended Chen Shang, the shopkeeper of the winery, who was also recommended by Duan Rushuang as he mentioned with Wen Ning last time.
He said that this person has a quick mind, good ears and eyes, and a photographic memory. At that time, let him remember every palace person who fetched the wine, and pay special attention to the wine served to the Prince of Ryukyu. Even if he got the right way in the end, he would be able to find out the person who fetched the wine at that time, so as not to place the blame on Wen Tingchun.
After discussing, the three of them will perform their own duties. Wen Lan is going to listen to Wen Tingchun, Wen Qi is preparing the wine for the palace banquet, and Wen Ning...
Wen Ning had her own plan, but she didn't tell Wen Lan and Wen Qiming.
After all, everything is explained clearly, but it is not a dream that can explain clearly.
She intends to find that Yingyao girl.
Yingyao is the beautiful concubine in Pei You's backyard who hated her. Pei You put her in the mansion, but never went to her yard, so she had to go to Wen Ning's place to chat or find fault, anyway, Wen Ning dealt with her a lot.
That's why she had the opportunity to tell Wen Ning about the existence of Mr. Yi in Yichunyuan, and Wen Ning had the opportunity to know that she came from a brothel, but she was not an ordinary brothel girl. Before entering the mansion, she had seen the world and had a good past.
That day, she thought carefully about what happened before and after the Ryukyu prince's visit in her previous life, and suddenly remembered that she had shown off her achievements in front of her: "Don't underestimate me, so what if I'm just a brothel girl? It’s still inside! It’s still by the prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom!”
When she mentioned Ryukyu, she thought of the late Wen Tingchun and her two missing brothers, and she didn't want to talk to her at all.
But thinking about it carefully, if what she said is true, wouldn't she be the best helper God gave her?
As long as she is willing to be the last amulet of the Ryukyu prince, even if someone poisons her, the poisoned wine can still keep him away.
Wen Ning thought about it for a few days, and she had already made up her mind, but she didn't act immediately.
If the time is not ripe, rash action will become a firefight with salaries.
It's a little funny to think about it, Wen Ning suddenly found out that the way she acts now...is actually learned from Pei You.
According to her nature, when encountering such a big event, how can she calmly wait for the days to pass and plan patiently step by step?
But she has seen how Pei You is in danger, how he waits quietly and patiently like a dormant cheetah, and lays out his plans, just waiting for the day when the net is collected, with a knife and a knife, clean and neat.
In her previous life, she hated him that much, but she didn't have him in her previous life, nor herself in this life.
Wen Ning asked Linglan to find someone to inquire about it. As expected, Miss Yingyao was already in Tianxiang Pavilion, so she became even more calm.
Da Yin's spring feast is on March 18th every year. Wen Ning didn't go that day, but Wen Qi actually found a way to present their new peach blossom wine to the spring banquet. As Duan Rushuang expected, the delicate and beautiful bottle made the ladies love it, and the sweet taste also made the girls fall in love with it. The girls were full of praise, and many of them took an extra bottle when they returned home.
March 25th, Wen Lan returned home with a happy face, and told him that their wine had been confirmed for the dust-cleaning banquet. I also praised their small and elegant winery.
On March 28th, Fushengzui opened.
In Wen Ning's original plan, this was her painstaking effort for several months, so she must go.
But what happened to Prince Liuqiu prevented her from going, not even Wen Qi. At this time, they have to separate from the winery, and they must not let people find out that the two of them opened the winery.
The good news is that Fushengzui became popular, Duan Rushuang didn't hold back, and knocked on the gate of Wen Mansion in the evening.
"Sister Wen, I'm so happy!" Duan Rushuang's small face turned pink with excitement, and her eyes were shining brightly, "I didn't expect that I could really do it! Sister Wen, you are really my nobleman!"
Wen Ning was so infected by her that she almost made the tip of her nose sore. In this world, it is so difficult for a woman, a concubine woman who has not left the court, to do something.
But she is not Duan Rushuang's noble person, on the contrary, Duan Rushuang is her noble person.
Without her, Duan Rushuang would still be famous in the capital a year later, but without Duan Rushuang, she would not be able to accomplish the present task.
On March 30, the Prince of Ryukyu arrived in Beijing.
"Miss, an urgent letter from the Second Young Master." At 3:00 PM, Linglan handed a letter to Wen Ning.
Wen Ning opened it, and said a very simple sentence: "Wang Ziyi is staying in Tianxiang Pavilion, and the cleansing banquet is scheduled for the second day of April."
Tianxiang Pavilion, this Ryukyu prince is really so absurd. On the first day in Beijing, he didn’t stay in the hotel arranged by Honglu Temple, but went to the place of fireworks.
It seems that what Yingyao said was not bragging.
The cleansing feast took place two days after he arrived in Beijing, but it was the same as in his previous life.
On the second day, Wen Ning changed into the men's clothes that she had prepared long ago, and timed the time for Prince Ryukyu to enter the palace. She went out through the back door and entered the most prestigious tomb of heroes in the capital—Tianxiang Pavilion.
Not long after she entered, Pei You, who was on duty, heard a very thin whistle.
He retreated to the left and right, came to the backyard alone, leaped out in vain, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, there is one thing that I don't know whether to report or not."
Pei You's injuries have long since healed, and the marks on his face have long since faded away. He still has the usual face like a crown of jade and eyes like bright stars.
Hearing the words, he looked at Tu Bai and said, "It's rare to make things difficult for you."
Tu Bai lowered his head awkwardly.
He has always seen the details, can distinguish the seriousness, what should be reported and what should not be reported, and he is very decisive.
But this time...he couldn't decide whether to take it seriously or not, whether to report it immediately or later...
"Speak." Pei You said.
"Yes." Tu Bai said with deep eyes, "The person who just stared at Yingyao came to report that the girl from the Wen family disguised herself as a man and went to Tianxiang Pavilion to find Yingyao."
Pei You looked over with dark eyes: "Wen Ning?"
