I am fish

Chapter 55

"It's a beautiful idea. I want to please Li Ju and also want to please the eldest princess."

After Wang Jin left, Ling Bi came out of the house, took a bowl of herbal tea and leaned on the wooden platform, half sitting and half lying down, and took a sip with a sneer.

The bamboo futon was hard and pinched, very uncomfortable, and there was no one around, so Zhen Wenjun and Lingbi lay on the wooden platform together.

The cool breeze blows, refreshing, as if it has not been so leisurely for a long time.

Zhen Wenjun looked at the small bowl turning in his fingers, thought for a while and said:

"Now that the eldest princess is coming to the door, the Wang family has no other way to go except to be loyal to her. Otherwise, the Wang family will be crushed to death before this world of power struggle is over. This is the way of the world. Imperial power or firewood, rice, oil and salt are all up for grabs. Do you think these gentry support the emperor or the eldest princess? What they support is to win the face. The royal family’s offering food to the emperor does not mean that it is dedicated to the emperor. What they say is Donate for disaster relief. In this way, since the emperor has benefited, the Wang family does not have to stand in front of the team, which is even better. But now that the eldest princess comes to collect the food in person, the situation forces the Wang family to continue to wait and see, so they can only put all their eggs in one basket."

Lingbi turned to look at her, and whispered: "In your opinion, who has a better chance of winning between the emperor and the eldest princess?"

Zhen Wenjun didn't expect that Lingbi would ask her such a question, and it seemed that he was completely defenseless against her.She snorted and said, "It doesn't matter who wins or loses. Winning or losing is only temporary. The important thing is who can go to the end and be able to control the world. What's more, we can't decide these things, Ting Xu We will help open the way for whoever my sister stands on, and now we naturally hope that the eldest princess can overwhelm the emperor."

Zhen Wenjun's words stunned Lingbi for a while, she forgot to drink her tea, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Zhen Wenjun got up and said: "Sister Lingbi, don't think about these troublesome things. Anyway, there is nothing to do, so why not go for a stroll in the city. I think the bustling horse market is full of good horses that I have never seen before, and Lingbi Didn’t Sister Bi also say that the girls of the Gukan ethnic group are extremely beautiful? Although their skin is not as white and tender as our Pingcang girls’, they are better than those with high noses, deep eyes, and juicy looks. Why don’t you go and have a look? And the bananas, I heard that Seruo milk tastes sweet, crisp and tender, don't you want to taste it?"

Lingbi drooped her eyelids and said, "You must be greedy. There are tens of thousands of taels left this time, which is enough for you to squander."

"No, no, it's definitely not enough." Zhen Wenjun said, "It's not enough to buy something for sister Lingbi, just tens of thousands of taels."

This small courtyard is close to the most prosperous gold market in Fengxi City, and Wangjing Street is the central thoroughfare of Fengxi City.It is very convenient to go directly to the Silver Market and the Horse Market via Wangjing Street.Zhen Wenjun and Lingbi did not take the carriage, but only took two entourages and went out on foot.

There is no curfew in Fengxi City, vendors can set up stalls all night, the closer it is to the night market, the busier it is.Facing the hustle and bustle of voices, Zhen Wenjun dragged Lingbi through the crowd with great interest.The waist ornaments made of tortoise shell, the necklace made of ivory, and all kinds of food that have never been seen before made Zhen Wenjun very excited.

The money was spent like flowing water, and I didn't feel bad at all.This time, not only did Wei Tingxu's mission be successfully completed, but he also bought the land and took in the people, leaving tens of thousands of taels. Zhen Wenjun never knew that spending money like dirt could be such a pleasure.Thinking of the many silver taels owed to Lingbi back then, now is the time to repay her.Zhen Wenjun bought all the things that Lingbi had to look at and ask more questions, and Lingbi couldn't pull her back.Zhen Wenjun also picked out a few exquisite and rare pendants and accessories to give to Wei Tingxu. Gifts bought for Wei Tingxu must be extremely expensive, and she doesn't consider anything under a thousand taels.

Zhen Wenjun took a cat's-eye gemstone Bu Yao and an amber ring, and asked Lingbi which Wei Tingxu would like.Lingbi thought about it for a long time and said they were both good, so Zhen Wenjun bought both.

Halfway through a long street, the two attendants were carrying their hands and shoulders full, and they were almost holding their heads. They couldn't take anything down, so they had to go back to the small courtyard to send them off before coming back to find them.Lingbi is not much better, holding a bunch of bananas in her arms, a bunch of grilled fried frog legs in her left hand, and a pack of auspicious fruit with honey cream in her right hand. She doesn't know whether to eat or go shopping first.

Zhen Wenjun saw the bustle of people in front of him, so he wanted to take Lingbi to have a look.

Lingbi dodged back, spat out the core of the auspicious fruit and said, "I'm going to go by myself, I'm going to break my leg if I can't squeeze it. I'll eat and wait for you here, don't run around. There were so many people in the market that I turned around and I couldn’t find you.”

Zhen Wenjun glanced at the noisy crowd, then at Lingbi, and shook his hands: "Forget it, I won't go if you don't. I'll accompany you."

Lingbi rolled her eyes: "You can pull it off, pretend I don't know you? If you really don't let you see and understand, I won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight. Go, go, don't bother me."

Zhen Wenjun gave a sweet "Hey": "Sister Lingbi really loves me."

Seeing Zhen Wenjun's figure disappearing in the crowd, Lingbi suddenly put down the frog that had been put to her mouth.

Just let her go alone?Since when did you feel so at ease with Zhen Wenjun?

Recalling what Wei Tingxu said when he punished Xiao Hua that night, the girl has already regarded Zhen Wenjun as her confidant, and she wants Xiao Hua to accept her completely. It seems that the girl really believes her, it is really not easy.Lingbi knew that Wei Tingxu was suspicious, and Zhen Wenjun let her guard down less than two years after he came to her, thanks to Zhen Wenjun's shrewdness.

At the beginning, the girl asked me to keep an eye on her and report her every move.Fortunately, the child withstood the test and did not disappoint.Lingbi looked at the direction where Zhen Wenjun disappeared, smiled gratifiedly, and gnawed on the frog heartily.

Zhen Wenjun looked back from time to time, and when he was out of Lingbi's sight, he sank his expression of excitement, and walked silently among the crowded people looking for the post post.It's certainly not hard to find a prosperous post office here.Sure enough, at the junction of the two cities of gold and silver, there was a flag embroidered with the word "post".The post office built a small shade shed, and the inside and outside of the shed were full of various goods waiting to be delivered.She went to the small shed to borrow pens, ink and wood chips, and wrote ancient poems.After finishing writing, she found "Dongchun" in a basket engraved with the signs of various states and counties, and then wrote the name of the square and "Mr. Ju'an", tied the wood chip and the sign together, and handed over the silver to the messenger.

"Excuse me, how long will it take to arrive in Dongchun?" Zhen Wenjun asked the messenger when paying the money.

"It will take ten days at the earliest."

"Ten days...Okay, that's troublesome."

This "Mr. Ju'an" was the correspondence name that Yan Ye had left for her back then, and it must have been a pseudonym.It has been nearly two months since I met Yan Ye last time. It is a big secret that the eldest princess came to Nanya to collect grain this time. It is estimated that she is the only one who knows besides the Wang family.After Xie Fuchen got this news, he must immediately verify its authenticity, perhaps ten days later when he received the news, Princess Chang would not be in Nanya anymore.It doesn't matter, Xie Fuchen missed it because he was stupid, he will always know in the future, it doesn't matter if he realizes that he can't threaten the eldest princess, what Zhen Wenjun wants is that Xie Fuchen missed the opportunity but understands the importance of her pawn, and can do what he says Be kind to her mother.Even if Xie Fuchen arrives in time to assassinate the eldest princess or take other actions, Zhen Wenjun is not worried, and even she expects Xie Fuchen to arrive quickly, and the two sides will fight.War is the blessing of a famous general, but the dispute between the emperor and the eldest princess is the benefit of Zhen Wenjun. She urgently needs to make contributions in it to enhance her own value.

Come on, Xie Fuchen.

Zhen Wenjun looked back at the banner that was blown back and forth by the wind - I will make your Xie family pay for what they have done.

Arriving at the horse market, in order to buy a good-looking Lu Zhenwenjun for Xiaoxue, he almost got confused.At first when she went to search for a price, the merchant saw that she, a little lady in ordinary clothes, was indifferent to her, and asked ten questions and answered her in half a sentence.Zhen Wenjun took out a stack of silver bills and held them in her hand, and the sharp-eyed vendor immediately recommended them to her enthusiastically. Finally, she chose a pair of gold-plated ruby ​​danlu worth 500 taels, imagining that Xiaoxue would be very imposing wearing them.

Takedang Lu was strolling in the horse market, and several horse dealers followed her and asked the nobleman what kind of horse he wanted, and they almost started fighting each other for their recommendations.Zhen Wenjun thought it was funny, and when he was about to refuse, he suddenly heard a familiar voice say:

"I want this frosty horse! Where is the seller!"

A horse dealer who had been following Zhen Wenjun immediately responded loudly and ran back.

Zhen Wenjun's neck stiffened when he heard the voice, he didn't turn his head, and slowed down, all his attention was focused behind him, waiting for the male voice to sound again.

"My lord is really insightful. This frosty horse is the successor of Duke Cheng of Tang, and this is the only horse in the whole Da Yu!"

"Oh? What's the price?"

It really was him!How could she forget this voice!

Zhen Wenjun quickened his pace and ran to a wooden pillar of a gazebo and looked back secretly. He saw the person who had just spoken was wearing an old robe, a high crown and white jade on his head, and he raised his chin to the horse dealer, bargaining for a price.

Zhen Wenjun was extremely puzzled, why is Xie Suishan here?Didn't he go to Dongchun Xie Fuchen together with Xie Taihang?Recalling what Yan Ye said, Xie Fuchen was very dissatisfied with Xie Taihang's actions, and it is very possible to expel his family.Thinking about it, Xie Fuchen was more hypocritical and cunning than Xie Taihang, perhaps he had planned a long time ago to wipe out the eldest princess faction from the Wei family, but Xie Taihang's stupid behavior of sending someone to assassinate Wei Tingxu was tantamount to scaring the snake away. It's not impossible to turn against him.In this way, where can Xie Taishou who escaped from Suichuan go?He had no choice but to lick his face and follow his wife Yao back to Nanya.

How could he forget that Madam Xie is from Nanya Yao family?Zhen Wenjun hit his stupid head hard, thinking that if he didn't go to Suichuan, he would be able to escape the eyes of his old friends, but who would have thought that coming to Nanya would be a trap for himself!If he is recognized by Xie Suishan, with his stupid mind, he can't understand the advantages and disadvantages at all, let alone whether Xie Taihang told Xie Suishan about disguised as Zhen Wenjun, the most likely end is to be entangled by him or even expose his identity.

The best plan is to leave Nanya immediately and hide away from Xie.

Zhen Wenjun quickly bowed her head and carried Dang Lu back, passing by a stall selling Hu clothing with a skirt and veil, she threw away the money, picked up the skirt and ran away.When I returned to Jinshi to find Lingbi, I saw that the attendant had already returned.I don't know if it was an illusion, but Zhen Wenjun saw Lingbi smiling at her strangely from afar.

"You are finally back, come back with me." Lingbi happily pulled her, and said mysteriously, "Go back, there will be a surprise."

surprise?Zhen Wenjun's heart beat wildly, don't be surprised, the whole room is over with fright.

The group returned to the small courtyard, and saw Xiaohua Wei'an's body standing in the small courtyard from a distance, like a rockery.And beside her, on the four-wheeled vehicle was either Wei Tingxu or someone else.

It's over, I can't go anymore.

Zhen Wenjun's eyes were dark and he was almost dizzy, his heart was extremely anxious, but his face had a bright smile on his face. While calling "Sister", he flew to Wei Tingxu's lap and knelt down on her lap:

"Why is my sister here! My sister knows how much Wen Jun misses her!" When Zhen Wenjun successfully squeezed out tears, he felt that his hypocrisy was really disgusting.

Wei Tingxu patted her head kindly and said with a smile: "I miss my sister too, so I'm here to see my sister."

Zhen Wenjun tried his best to look like weeping with joy, but in his heart he hugged his head and wailed into the sky - he didn't come early or late, but he came to join in the fun with Xie Suishan.Who would know if this old fox did it on purpose, and what schemes he has this time!
