Your Majesty will suffer

In the elegant room of Fengyue Building, Yue Lingbai was playing with the cups in his hands boredly, seeing the two people pushing the cups for a change, he felt very ridiculous in his heart: this bold Nan Gongji not only had a close relationship with his clan, but also Private Foreign Minister!And he, the Son of Heaven, not only turned a blind eye, but even sat with him at the banquet, isn't it a joke?If you say that, that's all, the most hateful thing at the moment is: this old friend reunited, and the current emperor turned a deaf ear to him!

Just when he secretly slandered, the person sitting opposite raised his glass.Yue Ling was displeased, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "I'm not good at drinking!" Then he got up and walked to the window.No matter how embarrassing the two behind them are.

Zhang Fang was bold at first, Nangong Ji never stated the identity of the person beside him, so he never asked too much, since Xin Dao is Nan Gongji's friend, his temperament is naturally congenial!But who would have guessed that this young gentleman looks gentle and elegant, but in fact has a very surly temperament, making people at a loss what to do!Because he was very puzzled: based on his friendship with Nan Gongji for many years, he knew his nature well, but he was as bold as himself, but how could he provoke such a person?

To avoid embarrassment, Nan Gongji had no choice but to drink this cup instead, counting it as a roundabout, and said: "If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return!"

Zhang Fang said with a smile, "Leave me three minutes awake tonight, and I have to go back to Luoyang early in the morning."

Nangong Ji said: "It's so rare to be reunited, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Zhang Fang said: "This time I went to Beijing to visit my brother. I was going to rush back today. Unfortunately, I was delayed because of something, so I had to stay until tomorrow morning."

Nangongji showed a regretful expression: "It's farewell now, I don't know when we will see you next time."

Zhang Fang said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, why did Brother Nangong become so sentimental? Could it be that the flowers are hanging around all the year round, and he also got the habit of mourning spring and autumn?"

When Yue Ling heard this sentence, he actually laughed out loud.

Although Nan Gongji was embarrassed, he looked at the person by the window, but still smiled and said: "Let him be full of red and purple in the world, I only hide orchids in the room."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fang would misunderstand for a moment, and said: "I was so happy to see you at first, but I forgot to congratulate you on being a father! Is Xin He giving birth to a boy or a girl? Are her mother and child safe now?"

Nangongji's expression changed instantly, and the hand holding the cup froze in place for a moment.

About his child who died young, Yue Ling also heard a little bit about it, what a pity!I've just heard about it today, but I'm full of emotions. Thinking about my life, I will always be unavoidable in one way or another.

At this moment, Nangong Ji seemed to be drunk, pulling Zhang Fang and whispering: "If Xin He hadn't followed me back then, or it's not like this today..."

Zhang Fang closed his eyes and sighed: "You say this, teach her mother and son how to close their eyes under the nine springs?!" He comforted him again, and then turned to go elsewhere.

Just after the second watch, Zhang Fang was about to say goodbye and leave.

It was inconvenient for Nan Gongji to keep him, so he just said: "I will wait for brother Zhang to be promoted, and one day he will move to Bianliang, so you and I can get together."

Zhang Fang laughed loudly and said, "I told you that I haven't seen you for a long time. Brother Nangong has already forgotten my ambition! Compared to Bianliang, I'd rather go back to the West Frontier!"

Nangong Ji was startled, looked at Yue Linger, and hurriedly turned to persuade: "Brother Zhang..."

It's a pity that Zhang Fang didn't notice his intention at all, so he interrupted him and said: "Brother Nangong lives in the middle of the capital, he is used to seeing Antai, and he doesn't know the dangers at the border! Since Tuoba Wen, the new lord of the Qiang Jie, came to the throne, he has been on the throne many times. Xiguan is causing trouble, and the heart of disobedience is obvious! Several colleagues and I have written several times to ask for more troops to the west border, but to no avail..."

Yue Ling's expression froze suddenly, and he interrupted: "Since you work in Xijing, why do you know about the border affairs? I... I have always been in the court, but why have I never heard of the emergency in Xiguan?"

Even if Nan Gongji didn't look at it, he knew that the current complexion of the official family might be more gloomy than the sky outside.

With Zhang Fang's intelligence, he may have already noticed that this person is unusual, but he didn't change his face, and said: "This is someone in the court who deceived Sheng Ting and deliberately deceived him to whitewash Tai Ping's ears! I have been in the border for several years. , Qiang Jie repeatedly violated our city and harassed our people, all of which I have seen and heard with my own eyes. If you have any doubts, you can send someone to Xiguan to verify the facts. ! However, if my words are true, please go to Datian to listen and increase troops to Xiguan immediately!"

This provocative method is effective, Yue Ling said bluntly: "Okay! As you said, I will send people to Xiguan tomorrow, and I will find out within half a month! If you speak nonsense, you will know the consequences!"

Returning to the crowd, the moon and the lamp are still there, but the helpless people have lost the interest they had when they came.The official decided to go back to the palace, but Nan Gongji couldn't stop him. Watching him go away, he couldn't help sighing in his heart: It's really easy to see each other sometimes, and it's hard to see each other again. I don't know when we will meet again!Only that Qiang Jie may really be a serious problem. I heard that he has invaded the south several times before, has invaded and occupied many parts of Tubo, and supported the puppet Zanpu!Thinking about it, I am afraid that it will harm Shuzhong in the future!

Seeing that his face was worried, Ling Qi said: "Today is the Lantern Festival, why are you sighing about it? This is a good thing for me. It sounds like you can relieve your depression."

Nangong Ji wondered, "What's the matter?"

He made him come closer and said, "Today Zhichun came to see you, and said that Song Meiren has already agreed to that matter."

Nangong Ji smiled and said, "It's a good thing indeed! But why did Beauty Song agree so easily?"

Ling Qi said: "It's not easy, but Zhichun concealed the fact that Mr. Lang is mediating outside, and only said that there is a place to accept her fan."

Nangong Ji smiled and said: "She is very smart! But this is also good, so as not to embarrass the beauty."

Ling Qi said: "Even if the gentleman is bored, I still have to remind you a few words, you must be cautious about this matter! If the news leaks, there will be a big disturbance!"

Nangong Ji smiled and said, "I know."

The two masters and servants strolled all the way, and saw that they had also arrived in front of the mansion.Dazzling him, he saw a familiar figure flashing past and heading straight to the backyard.Can't help but "huh", said: "Isn't that Lan Xiang in Liu Niangzi's room? Why are you still hanging out so late?"

Nan Gongji was magnanimous, and said with a smile: "It's a good night, or listening to the bustle outside, it's understandable to sneak out for a stroll."

Ling Qi shook his head: "These girls are really getting more and more presumptuous, and they must be rectified in the future."

At the end of the first lunar month, Li Qi returned to Beijing. Hearing about Nan Gongji's plan, although he hesitated a little, he finally agreed.It's just a waste of money to set up a separate shop just for this purpose. Fortunately, I have an acquaintance who is doing this business for a living, so I will sell it in another shop for the time being.Although this was not Nan Gongji's original intention, he had to give in first and wait and see for the time being.

Besides, last year's medicine business lost some money, this year Li Qi plans to transfer some money to sell wood in the south.Naturally, it needs to be discussed with Nan Gongji before.Nangongji thought, even if the extra money was taken back, it would be of no use. On the one hand, he believed in Li Qi's vision, so he agreed almost without thinking.

For some reason, at the beginning of spring this year, there was a wind of garden repair in Bianliang City, and the rich and wealthy families began to build large-scale construction projects. Therefore, the first batch of timber was shipped to Beijing that year, and the price increased by nearly [-]%!

While Nangongji was delighted, he was also curious about the reason.Li Qi solved his confusion with a few words. It turned out that there is a rumor in Bianliang now that the new governor of Kaifeng made a statement. There are many roads and even narrow rivers in Bianliang city. The reason for the river should be completely destroyed!

Nan Gongji was puzzled when he heard this, and said: "This is the way to stop cultivating, why is it the opposite now?"

Li Qi said with a smile: "At the moment, it is only a talk, and it has not been implemented yet. Those who occupied the road and river before were either rich or expensive. Now these people follow the trend, it is nothing more than a fluke, and the Kaifeng government will really pursue it one day. Come on, who do you want to take the knife? The so-called law does not blame the public, that's all."

Nangong Ji pondered: "So, we are riding this turbid current? Is there something wrong with this?"

Li Qi waved his sleeves and smiled: "You and I can enjoy the success, why bother with his leisurely mind?"

Or is it really a blessing? When the timber business was profitable this year, the fans were also selling very well!Later, I heard from Ling Qi that there used to be a Japanese concubine in the Song beauty's house who was very good at making fans, and Zhao Rong's hand-painting skills should be her true inheritance.It's no wonder.

The prosperity of the world is all for Lilai.All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit.This spring day, although Nan Gongji lacked the leisure time to visit mountains and rivers, it was a joy to be busy for profit!

The income from timber has stabilized, and Li Qi's recent thoughts have been devoted to the medicinal material shop.Nangong Ji is not an expert in this field, so he can't get involved, but now he has some spare money, so he wants to invest in that fan.

At the moment, I think that if I want to work hard on this fan, it is nothing more than a shop under the pan to make a living for myself. However, Song Meiren alone can only produce a few handfuls a day, which is far from enough.After Zhichun found out, she spread the word that there is a way to think about it.A few days later, dozens of fans were actually sent out!Nan Gongji was astonished, but also realized that the fan was not made by one person.

Ling Qi said: "Some were made by beauties when they were free, and some were painted by maids close to them. Zhichun said that the handwriting of palace people may be rough, but the workmanship is fine, and the right should be used for the number. It doesn't matter if the price is short." .”

Nangongji looked at it carefully, and said: "Although the brushwork is lacking, but she has also obtained the true biography of a beauty. It's hard for her to do this."

Ling Qi said: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, Song Meiren has found leisure recently."

Nangong Ji smiled and said, "Lin Zhaoyi is the leader of the six palaces. She is only a concubine, so it's hard not to be idle."

Ling Qi said: "This 'leisure' is not that 'leisure', but Zhaoyi has no time to make things difficult for her recently."

Nan Gongji raised his head and said "Oh", and said, "This is a strange thing!"

Make him come closer: "Recently, there are two new beauties in the palace. I heard that they are charming and incomparable, and the officials love them very much! No, Lin Zhaoyi will..."

Nangongji was stunned for a moment.After a while, he pondered and said: "Ling Qi, how long has it been since I entered the palace?"

After eating so many days of vegetarian food, tomorrow I will eat meat!
