I am a ruler in troubled times
Chapter 101
With the experience of improving other niche papers, the process of improving the formula of gold leaf paper went smoothly beyond Song Peiyu's expectations.
In just one month, the paper workshop has successively improved the formula of gold leaf paper three times, which not only greatly reduces the cost of making gold leaf paper, but also reduces many complicated steps.
Although the gold leaf paper made with the improved formula of gold leaf paper is slightly different from the traditional gold leaf paper.But under this kind of difference that can't be noticed without looking carefully, the cost is very different.
Traditional gold leaf paper is basically priceless in places other than Chen State. Even in Chen State, a hundred sheets of gold leaf paper cost 100 taels of silver, which is equivalent to the price of white linen paper for twenty dollars.
The gold leaf paper produced by the improved formula of gold leaf paper in the paper workshop costs only one tael of silver per knife. If the production scale is large enough, the gold leaf paper can earn two taels of silver per knife.
Naturally, Song Peiyu would not ask Chu to set the price of the improved gold leaf paper at two taels of silver.
If the price is too low, Chu State will be extremely unwilling, which is not a good thing for Zhao State.
Song Peiyu took out his little abacus hidden deep in the cabinet, and typed from morning to night, recording data that was as thick as a book.
He felt that the best price for gold leaf paper in Chu State should be around ten taels of silver.
It can not only impact Chen State's monopoly on paper to the greatest extent, but also allow Chu State to accept it.
Of course, when Song Peiyu 'sold' the improved gold leaf paper formula to Chu State, he would not ask Chu State directly at what price the gold leaf paper produced would be sold.
Song Peiyu would only start to mass-produce other improved niche papers in Qihuo City and other counties of Zhao State before the new golden leaf paper recipe was 'sold' to Chu State.
And before the mass production of New Gold Leaf Paper in Chu State, other niche paper mass-produced in Qihuo City and other counties of Zhao State will be sold at a brand new price.
As long as the people of Chu State are not too stupid, they can figure it out and sell the new gold leaf paper at a price of ten taels of silver for a knife, so as to maximize the benefits obtained.
After making all the plans, Song Peiyu carefully checked all the recorded data, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he closed the bound booklet and stretched in satisfaction.
Just recently, Dongliang also noticed that Zhao Guo sold Zhao paper at the price of one tael of silver and one knife in Dongliang. It was definitely not out of good intentions. There are many unbelievable rumors.
He wanted to see how Dongliang would stop the people of Dongliang from buying paper in the paper mills of Zhao State after the price of these papers that were rare but extremely famous had been cut in half.
Looking up, she met Song Jingze's big curious eyes, and Song Peiyu subconsciously looked out of the window and at the surrounding decorations.
It was pitch black outside the window, the curfew time had passed long ago, and the surrounding decorations were indeed Honglu Temple.
Chong Yi was leaning on the slum by the window, holding a notebook with one hand to pass the time.
The dim candlelight fell on Chong Yi's face, not only gave Chong Yi an illusion of tenderness on Chong Yi's indifferent face because of being too fair, but even the tear mole at the corner of his eye became faintly visible, making people want to keep their eyes on it all the time , or go to a closer place to take a closer look or even touch it to determine whether the tear mole really exists.
Chong Yi seemed to have noticed Song Peiyu's gaze, and suddenly put down the notebook in his hand, turned to look at Song Peiyu, the corners of his mouth gradually raised a happy arc.
Song Peiyu also raised her eyes, completely forgetting that there was a third person in the room.
But the third person will find a sense of presence by himself.
Song Jingze unconsciously stood between Song Peiyu and Chong Yi, and happily said to Song Peiyu, "My uncle is finally done! I brought your favorite pastry from grandma, so I'll fill my stomach quickly."
Song Peiyu drooped her eyes, her eyes moved from Song Jingze's face to the food box in Song Jingze's hand, and finally on Song Jingze's bright smiling face.
Only now did he understand how reasonable Ye's worries were.
This little idiot should have a taste of what a sinister human heart is, so that he can have a long memory!
Isn't he fierce enough to Song Jingze these days?
Why is this little idiot still posting it so unapologetically.
If he didn't know Song Jingze's character too well, Song Peiyu would even wonder if Song Jingze added something to the pastry.
After sighing helplessly, Song Peiyu roughly gathered the scattered things on the table to make room for the food box in Song Jingze's hand.
"Why are you here?" Song Peiyu asked a question from the depths of his soul.
Song Jingze said with a grin, "Father said that my uncle will not go home from work at Honglu Temple tonight. He is afraid that my uncle will be afraid of being alone, so he specially asked me to accompany you."
Chong Yi waited for a long time but did not wait for Song Jingze to get out of the way consciously, so he could only get up from the collapse and bypass Song Jingze.
When he walked to Song Peiyu's large desk, Song Jingze's voice just fell.
Chong Yi slowly picked up Song Jingze's words, "First your third brother came to pick you up, and I asked Jin Bao to tell your third brother that you will not go back home if you have any business done today. Your third brother still doesn't believe it." .”
Song San looked outside the door, questioned Jin Bao and Yin Bao in front of Chong Yi for a long time, and then left in doubt.
Looking at the back of Song San leaving, Chong Yiming knew that with Song Peiyu's busyness, even if they could escape from the guards of the Song brothers for a short time, they could do nothing, but his heart felt indescribably happy.
It's a pity that Song Jingze came here before Chong Yi was happy.
Hearing Chong Yi's voice suddenly, Song Jingze's eyes widened immediately, he jumped on the spot like a frightened animal, and then hid behind Song Peiyu non-stop.
After knowing the value of the small plaque that Chong Yi casually rewarded him, Song Jingze was still very afraid of Chong Yi.
Especially after meeting Chong Yi again at Honglu Temple, Song Jingze always felt that Chong Yi had faint hostility, which was far less kind than last time.
Song Peiyu could hear the grievance in Chongyi's calm words, but she couldn't bear to see Song Jingze being frightened like this, so she patted Song Jingze's hand that was tightly holding his arm, and Song Peiyu couldn't help but cast a reproachful glance at Chongyi .
Scaring Song Jingze is no skill, but he has the skill to bully his elder brother.
Chong Yi, who was stared at before he could do anything, suddenly felt that Song Jingze really deserved to be Song Jinyu's son.
Because Song Jingze was afraid of the dark and dared not sleep alone, and he was very fond of the bed. When he arrived in an unfamiliar environment, he had to be accompanied by someone who could give him a sense of security before he could fall asleep.
After Song Peiyu sighed for an unknown number of times, between Yu Chongyi and her nephew, she chose her nephew without hesitation.
He can't help it, who can't afford to offend his nephew's father.
After Song Peiyu and Song Jingze had snacks, they prepared to fall asleep in Song Peiyu's usual nap room.
Chong Yi, who waited from morning to night, fell into deep thought in the yard.
Lai Fu walked lightly to Chong Yi's side, and said in a low voice, "Master Song ordered the little one to clean up the other rooms for you, and you also go to take a nap..."
Facing Shang Chong Yihei's bottomless gaze, Lai Fu immediately shut up.
After serving Chong Yi for many years, Lai Fu has already been able to guess some hidden emotions from Chong Yi's expressionless face.
After an indeterminate amount of time, when there was a faint light in the sky, Chong Yi, who had been silent in the dark all this time, finally said, "Go and ask Mr. An to sort out the account books of the private treasury."
Laifu waited for a long time, but didn't wait for the second part of Chong Yi's sentence, carefully glanced at Chong Yi who was looking towards the direction of the sun, and then deliberately left with a slightly heavy footstep.
It's a pity that Chong Yi didn't stop him until he went out completely.
After Lai Fu told Eunuch An about Chong Yi's order, he was still confused, and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Your Highness is taking your anger out on Mr. Song, and you want someone else to manage the accounts?"
After listening to Lai Fu's words, Eunuch An raised his eyelids to see the expression on Fu's face.
Seeing that the corners of Laifu's eyes and brows were full of worry, and he didn't mean to gloat or look forward to it, Eunuch An patted Laifu on the head, "Do your errands well, and don't think about these things!"
Laifu covered his head exaggeratedly, repeatedly apologizing to Mr. An, begging Mr. An not to take his random nonsense to heart.
Eunuch An deliberately put on a straight face and asked Laifu to beg for a while, guessing that Laifu had a long memory, so he let go and promised that he would never remember this matter again, and let Laifu return to Chongyi to do business.
When Lai Fu was completely out of sight, Eunuch An sighed deeply, and fumbled for the key hanging around his neck to find the account book.
Laifu didn't know why Chongyi asked him to sort out the account books on a whim.
He probably can come up with some reasons.
Eunuch An would rather he didn't know anything.
At least they don't know anything, so they don't have to worry all day, for fear that there will be news from Qinzheng Palace that Emperor Yonghe was so angry that Chongyi fainted, or that Emperor Yonghe ran after Chongyi with a big knife.
Sanqing blesses, Su Wang's mansion only has one small county king committee, it's too thin, it's better to bring a few more younger brothers.
Song Peiyu just wanted to take the time to have a good talk with Song Jinyu, at least...not to guard Chongyi like a wolf.
The caravan led by King Xiang of Chu to the Western Regions finally returned to Xianyang after two years.
At the same time, news also came from Chu State that Song Peiyu's sea-going fleet returned to Chu State after a year of departure.
After a brief rest, he will rush back to Zhao without stopping.
Song Peiyu immediately put all his thoughts on the returning caravan.
King Chu Guoxiang, who led the team, had lost a lot of weight visible to the naked eye, and his face was older than he looked two years ago, but he was in good spirits. The color in his eyes was almost the same as that of people who were much younger than him.
Before he took Zhao Guoren to the Western Regions, Song Peiyu gave him a pamphlet, saying that it was copied from various ancient books and only existed in the Western Regions.
Song Peiyu hoped that King Xiang could find these things and bring them back.
When King Xiang set off, he laughed at Song Peiyu for being too naive to believe in the so-called 'ancient books'.
When he was young, he just started to take the Western Regions trade route, especially when he first took the Western Regions trade route, he was as naive as Soong Peiyu, spending a lot of manpower and material resources to find relevant ancient books, thinking that as long as he prepared enough, he would be able to make the Western Regions It's smoother.
As a result, King Xiang was almost killed by those 'ancient books'.
After suffering numerous losses, King Xiang realized that most of the so-called ancient books circulating in the world are written by people who have never been to other places since childhood, or even the county where they were born, to pass the time s things.
When they ran out of money, these people exchanged these casually written things for money from passing merchants.
Most of the traveling merchants knew the true colors of the so-called 'ancient books', and at most they would give these people a pen and ink money to buy them as vernacular books.After some special treatment to make them old, and then sold to other places, they gradually become real 'ancient books'.
There are exceptionally good stories, and the merchants will find someone to copy the contents of the 'ancient books' on parchment that can be preserved for a longer time, so that the 'ancient books' can be sold at a higher price.
Traveling merchants with more thoughts will even pay special attention to whose "ancient books" are more popular, and spend a relatively high price to reach a consensus with that person, so that that person can provide new "ancient books" for a long time.
The most helpless thing for King Xiang was that even after he suffered a loss, he specially hired someone who could distinguish old paper from real old paper, but he still couldn't avoid being cheated.
Because the literati and traveling merchants hundreds of years ago are not much different from the literati and traveling merchants now.
Fake ancient books become real ancient books, but they are still not the ancient books that King Xiang wanted.
Even if you are lucky enough to collect real ancient books, and the author has really been to the Western Regions, there is no guarantee that the author will use the "Spring and Autumn Brushwork" when writing ancient books, slightly omitting some unpleasant things, and spending more on pleasant things pen and ink.
In short, it is inseparable from the four words 'unrecognizable'.
King Xiang wanted to tell Song Peiyu not to have too much hope, but he didn't know where to start explaining the pitfalls of various "ancient books" to Song Peiyu.
All kinds of beautiful words swirled around his lips, King Xiang just patted Soong Peiyu on the shoulder, and told Soong Peiyu seriously that he would try his best to find things according to the brochure Soong Peiyu gave him, but there was no guarantee that he would find them.
However, after arriving in the Western Regions, King Xiang found that his trip to the Western Regions seemed different from any previous ones.
First of all, as the country closest to the Western Regions in Kyushu, Zhao Guo is rich and powerful, and can provide caravans with perfect logistics that King Xiang could never imagine.
After officially entering the Western Regions, he began to look for things according to the brochure Song Peiyu gave him, and he was able to find one right.
Even if you can't find the things in the brochure for the time being, you will get the approximate location of these things from the local population, most of which are things that can be seen everywhere in the Western Regions.
At the beginning, King Xiang would always lie on the grass with the booklet in his arms and doubt his life. Could it be that his buying of "ancient books" has no other purpose other than being fooled? Is it his problem?
No, King Xiang resolutely refused to admit that it was his problem that he was fooled when he bought an 'ancient book'.
Then the reason can only be attributed to Song Peiyu and Zhao Guo.With Song Peiyu's physique of making money with anything he touches, the ancient books he bought are all true, which doesn't seem to be a particularly unusual thing.
In addition, I have to admit that since the establishment of the Odd Goods City and its growing prosperity, the excitement of the Odd Goods City has become infinitely close to that of Jiangnan.
Countless merchants flock to the Odd Goods City with their treasures, just to find a good buyer for the treasures and sell them at a good price.
As Song Peiyu is the person who actually controls the odd goods city, it is only normal for Song Peiyu to have good things in his hands.
After finding countless reasons to comfort his wounded heart, King Xiang finally suppressed all the unprecedented excitement in his heart, and put almost all his thoughts on collecting the things recorded in the booklet.
There is no difference in what Song Peiyu can take a fancy to.
With the friendly relationship between Chu State and Zhao State, Zhao State eats big meat, and Chu State may also be able to pick up leftover bones.
In case there are really good seeds here, the big deal is that Chu State spends money to buy them, or he works harder, and after returning to Chu State, he will take people to the Western Regions again.
Song Peiyu was overjoyed when he heard that King Xiang said that nine out of ten of the things in the booklet had been found.
All the things brought back from the Western Regions were placed in a special yard. As soon as Song Pei entered the yard, all eyes were attracted by the plants covered with snow-white cotton balls.
It's the cotton he's been thinking about!
In addition to cotton, the caravan from the Western Regions also brought back peppers, eggplants...bitter melon and other vegetables that Zhao State did not have.
Song Peiyu's saliva flowed out of his eye sockets.
He hasn't eaten chili in over 20 years.
Song Peiyu stayed here all day, recording everything brought back by the caravan.
It wasn't until the sun went down that everything was sorted and put away. Song Peiyu told Jin Bao to copy another copy of the sorted booklet and send it to the East Palace, and then took King Xiang who had been waiting all day to eat.
Perhaps it was to save Chongyi and Song Peiyu some face in front of outsiders, but there was no Song family waiting outside the yard to take Song Peiyu home that day.
Until Song Peiyu, Chong Yi, and King Xiang came out of Mingkelou, Song Peiyu didn't see his brothers and nephews, and suddenly stood at the door of Mingkelou, not knowing what to do.
Chong Yi patted Song Peiyu on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Go back to the East Palace with me?"
Although the tone was very calm, without any eagerness, but the gaze that was about to catch Song Peiyu like a hook had already betrayed Chong Yi's deepest thoughts.
Song Peiyu suddenly felt a little bored, maybe she was too happy during the dinner just now and drank a few more glasses, and it was only at this time that she started to feel drunk.
He put the back of his hand on his face, looked at Chong Yi with bright eyes, and deliberately thought about Chong Yi, "What are you doing in the East Palace?"
Chong Yi gave an answer that Song Peiyu didn't expect.
"Eat chili?"
While speaking, Chong Yi placed his palms up in front of Song Peiyu, and on his white palms lay three or four crooked red peppers.
Song Peiyu's eyes widened silently, "When did you take it, why didn't I find out?!"
Although he is very greedy for peppers, the caravan brought back from the Western Regions is limited after all.
When he was in the private house before, Song Peiyu used his self-control to forcefully suppress the idea of eating chili immediately, and deliberately avoided the location of the chili, for fear that he would not be able to hold back.
After the chili seeds mature for a period of time, they can be used as chili seeds next year.
Picking off the peppers now is too extravagant and wasteful for Song Peiyu.
With a turn of Chong Yi's palm, the pile of hot peppers in his hand disappeared immediately.
Song Peiyu subconsciously grabbed Chong Yi's hand, followed Chong Yi's hand to touch the sleeve pocket, and was relieved. He muttered dissatisfiedly, "The sleeve pocket of this dress is quite big."
He touched at least six or seven peppers inside, what a waste!
Chong Yi walked on the palace road in silence, letting Song Peiyu scold him for being too fast, wasting a lot of pepper seeds that were about to fully ripen.
Every time he turned his head, he could see Song Peiyu's upturned eyes and the light in the depths of his eyes.
After eating the supper that was unexpected and surprising, the two of them rolled together to pay food as a matter of course.
Now almost two months have passed since Song Jinyu's birthday, Song Peiyu always felt strange when she was in Honglu Temple, she was unwilling to say anything, and she had no chance in the East Palace.
After two full months of anger gathered together, Chong Yi didn't even have time to let Song Peiyu fulfill his promise in exchange for the last jade power.
Yin Bao and Lai Fu, who were standing at the gate watching the night, looked at each other, showed embarrassing but impolite smiles at the same time, and then walked towards the gazebo tacitly.
Listening to the movement, the people inside would not think of them for a while.
It was the second day after eating chili that Song Peiyu realized how weak his stomach was, or he hadn't realized so clearly for a long time that he was a congenitally deficient cub.
Especially when he was running towards the latrine with his weak thighs, Song Peiyu actually missed his brothers and nephews who picked him up on time every day.
Once again coming out of the latrine covered in sweat, Song Peiyu looked at Chong Yi who was waiting in the yard with complicated eyes.
Chong Yi ate no less chili than he did.
Why is he the only one with stomach upset.
Could it be that the demon's stomach is different from that of ordinary people?
With strong curiosity and unexplainable revenge, Song Peiyu nestled in Chong Yi's arms all afternoon and forced Chong Yi to tell him a story.
Chong Yi cooperated very well. Whatever Song Peiyu wanted to know, he told Song Peiyu in detail. Although he lacked the rich emotion of a storyteller when telling a story, the plot of each story was very different.
Song Peiyu even fell asleep in Chongyi's deep voice, and had a dream of meeting Chongyi in a grotesque world.
After Song Jinyu heard that Song Peiyu hadn't gone to Honglu Temple, she would inadvertently look up at the sky after processing a document.
It wasn't until the boy came to ask him what meal he was going to deliver at noon that Song Jinyu immediately put down the document in his hand and said slowly, "Go to the East Palace and ask if the raccoon slave has left the palace. If he hasn't left the palace yet, ask him to come and eat lunch with me." Meals, let the kitchen prepare whatever he likes."
The servant quickly left and came back. He told Song Jinyu that Song Peiyu didn't go to Honglu Temple today because he ate something bad yesterday and his stomach was unwell, so he probably couldn't come to accompany Song Jinyu for dinner.
After Song Jinyu heard this, she stopped at the door and looked in the direction of the East Palace with complicated eyes.
Is it really because of eating that the stomach is uncomfortable?
After hesitating for a long time, Song Jinyu turned around and walked into the room, and casually ordered the servant, "Let the small kitchen make a bowl of plain noodles and bring them here."
No matter what the reason is, save some face for the raccoon slave, as long as the raccoon slave consciously comes out of the East Palace at night, he will not arrest anyone.
Although she had already made a decision in her heart, Song Jinyu felt restless all afternoon. She always thought of Song Peiyu's weak body when she was a child, and she would have to toss for a long time if she didn't eat well.
After hearing the bell ringing the time, Song Jinyu immediately put down the things at hand and strode towards the East Palace.
Chong Yi, who was cradling Song Peiyu in the greenhouse, also heard the sound of the bell. He lowered his head to look at the person in his arms. Sure enough, because of the sudden sound, tangles flashed between his brows and eyes. Even the eyeballs under his eyelids were not as stable as before, and they were moving back and forth. , may wake up at any time.
Chong Yi hugged Song Peiyu even tighter, and with his free hand, he patted Song Peiyu's shoulder skillfully, and would reply immediately when Song Peiyu was half asleep and half awake, telling Song Peiyu that he was here, Let Song Peiyu sleep peacefully.
Hearing that Song Peiyu was behind the greenhouse, Song Jinyu rushed over in a big stride, and stopped outside the greenhouse with a complicated expression.
Through the completely transparent glass wall, Song Jinyu could clearly see the intimate posture of the two and Song Peiyu's pale and disturbed face.
After hearing Chong Yi's whisper, Song Peiyu's face was still pale, but his expression gradually recovered, and he unconsciously rubbed against Chong Yi's arms.
Chong Yi comforted Song Peiyu, then raised his eyelids to look in Song Jinyu's direction.
From Song Jinyu's perspective, Chong Yi's mouth shape was easily recognized.
'big brother'
Pooh!Who is your big brother?
Song Jinyu turned around mercilessly, striding out of Chong Yi's sight.
After confirming that the distance from the greenhouse was enough so that Song Peiyu would not be affected, Song Jinyu stopped, turned around and asked Song Peiyu, the father-in-law who was chasing him, what was going on.
Eunuch An hesitantly told Song Jinyu that Chong Yi and Song Peiyu ate something that King Xiang brought back from the Western Regions yesterday.Chong Yi didn't respond, but Song Peiyu has been a little bit unwell since this morning, tossing the whole morning, and only got a moment of peace in the afternoon.
He didn't mention this thing called chili, which was food that Song Peiyu had been thinking about for a long time, and he didn't tell Song Jinyu that the chili was brought back by Chong Yi in his sleeve pocket while Song Peiyu was not paying attention.
It can be said that in order to make Song Jinyu less angry, he used all his thoughts in words.
After listening to Eunuch An's words, Song Jinyu did not blame Song Peiyu and Chong Yi anymore.
He blamed this matter on King Xiang.
Since it was brought back by King Xiang, King Xiang must know that people with weak stomachs can't eat more of this kind of food, why didn't they remind Song Peiyu?
Poor King Xiang didn't know what he did wrong, and suddenly he received invitations from the Song brothers to go out for a drink.
The drinks on the table are all good wines brought out from Song's winery, no matter if they are people from other countries or from Zhao country, they have to limit their purchases, and if they don't save for a period of time, they can't drink to their heart's content.
King Xiang clearly sensed something was wrong, but he really couldn't refuse the temptation of fine wine.
No matter how good the wine from Song's Winery is not harmful to health, it cannot hold back King Xiang's three meals a day.
Within a few days, King Xiang was judged by the imperial doctor that he was suffering from a disease called 'alcohol sickness' due to drinking too much recently, not to mention drinking, staying at the banquet for too long would make him nauseated.
This kind of disease can only be recuperated slowly, as long as King Xiang stops drinking and tries not to even smell the smell of alcohol, he will be cured within a year at most.
On weekdays, King Xiang, who would have people serve wine and drinks even for meals, was shocked by the bad news, and was about to settle the score with the Song brothers, so Song Er took the initiative to pay a heavy gift to visit King Xiang.
Under Song Er's sincere repentance, King Xiang reluctantly believed that it was all good intentions that the Song brothers took turns taking him to dinner and drinking, and that 'drunkenness' was an accident beyond everyone's expectations.
After sending Song Er away, King Xiang's dizzy head gradually regained consciousness, but he felt that something was wrong.
After handing over the caravan going to the Western Regions and the things brought back by the caravan to Zhao Guo, King Xiang gave Emperor Yonghe a note.
He euphemistically expressed that he wanted to return to Chu State to reunite with his family as soon as possible, so that he could discuss with the Emperor Chu about "buying" the improved gold leaf paper formula from Zhao State as soon as possible.
Naturally, Emperor Yonghe would not embarrass King Xiang in this regard, not only prepared many gifts for Emperor Chu, but also specially hosted a banquet in Qinzheng Palace to see King Xiang off.
During the banquet, King Xiang just watched others drinking for three rounds, and his mind began to become dizzy uncontrollably.
This reminded him of the experience of being taken out by the Song brothers to dinner and drink some time ago, and he still felt suspicious no matter what he thought.
But Song Er has already brought a heavy gift to apologize to him on behalf of the Song brothers, his alcoholism is not a serious problem, if he cares about every detail, it will appear that he is a man of Chu country.
When King Xiang was feeling annoyed, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Song Peiyu who happened to be alone.
His eyes lit up, and he looked around furtively. Chong Yi was beside the eldest princess, and the Song brothers also had their own contacts, so they immediately walked towards Song Peiyu with a jug in their hands.
The Song brothers fed him for so long, but he only fed Song Peiyu this time, shouldn't it be too much?
When Song Peiyu saw King Xiang who took the initiative to greet him, he felt a vague guilt in his heart.
He is very well-informed, and Eunuch An also specifically asked him and Chong Yi not to let the matter about the chili go away.
Song Peiyu knew the source of King Xiang's 'alcohol sickness' for a long time.
Seeing that King Xiang only regretted not being able to drink, but did not complain to the Song brothers in words, Song Peiyu felt even more guilty.
So when King Xiang picked up the jug to persuade him to drink, Song Peiyu didn't think of refusing at all, and handed over the wine glass very naturally.
King Xiang traveled all over the world since he was a child, and he looked honest and honest, but he was actually the best at persuading him to drink.
In addition, he had nothing to ask for except Song Peiyu to drink, and Song Peiyu didn't become wary of him.
Before he knew it, King Xiang poured all the wine in the flagon to Song Peiyu.
King Xiang was still not satisfied, he was looking left and right where there was still a whole jug of wine, when Song Peiyu suddenly heard Song Peiyu ask him, "Who are you?"
King Xiang was stunned, and turned his head to look at Song Peiyu in disbelief.
Song Peiyu looked at him with blank eyes that were visible to the naked eye, and the calmness and introversion in the past were also scattered, leaving only seriousness.
King Xiang scratched his head, how could Song Peiyu drink so badly?
When he drank with Song Peiyu's brothers, Song Peiyu's brothers were not like this.
Song Peiyu waited for a long time but did not wait for King Xiang's reply, and asked again very seriously, "Who are you?"
After discovering that Song Peiyu was indeed drunk, King Xiang not only did not feel satisfied after achieving his goal, but became even more dizzy.
Why did he feel like he was in trouble?
When Chong Yi left the eldest princess and turned to look for Song Peiyu, he immediately found out that something was wrong with Song Peiyu.
In a normal state, Song Peiyu would never stand there blankly, only her head would move with the people around her, and she would raise her hand and wave to people solemnly.
Chong Yi strode over, "Beaver Slave"
Song Peiyu, whose eyes were full of bewilderment, finally heard the familiar voice, and immediately rushed towards Chongyi, just in time to throw himself into Chongyi's arms.
If Song Peiyu was in a normal state, she would immediately take a few steps back to distance herself from Chong Yi, and would calmly find a decent reason for her gaffe.
But Song Peiyu now is Song Peiyu in an abnormal state.
Song Peiyu blinked her big watery eyes, and carefully identified who was the familiar person in front of him, and she didn't have the consciousness that he threw herself into Chong Yi's arms in front of the public.
Emperor Yonghe just happened to be attracted by the movement between the two, and smiled with Song Jinyu who was beside him, "Is the raccoon slave drunk?"
Song Jinyu's fingers under his long sleeves were tightly squeezed together, barely maintaining a smile on his face, "He has been unable to hold back alcohol since he was a child, and His Majesty made a joke of him. I will find someone to take him down."
"What are you in a hurry for?" Emperor Yonghe waved his hands indifferently, waiting for Zhongyi's reaction with great interest.
Ever since Song Peiyu rushed over, Chong Yi felt all kinds of gazes falling on him, among which the most obvious and the strongest sense of presence was the gaze of Emperor Yonghe and Song Jinyu from above.
Song Peiyu quickly recognized who Chong Yi was, "Your Highness, Your Majesty!"
Chong Yi's heart softened when Song Peiyu spoke word by word. The hand on Song Peiyu's waist slightly exerted force, so that Song Peiyu could lean on his arm with all his strength, and immediately led Song Peiyu to the door.
He didn't want others to see Song Peiyu like this.
"Ha..." Emperor Yonghe sighed to Song Jinyu with a full face, "I didn't expect him to get along well with the raccoon slave." He didn't throw the raccoon slave out.
Song Jinyu looked at Emperor Yonghe's ignorant face, rarely knowing what to say.
The last time he had this emotion was more than 20 years ago.
Emperor Yonghe was dissatisfied with Song Jinyu's ignorance, so he deliberately found a topic that could continue the conversation, turned to Song Jinyu and said, "Speaking of which, Li Nu will be twenty-three this year. I remember a few years ago, you told me Li Nu is weak, so I have to wait until he reaches the crown to give him a wife. Now it is rare to hear that he is sick, have you looked after him?"
Speaking of this, the desire to try on Emperor Yonghe's face was beyond words.
After the birth of the Xiaojun King in Suwang's Mansion, Emperor Yonghe completely gave up the idea of asking the eldest princess to find a husband, and planned to listen to Chongyi's suggestion and let the eldest princess choose a consort who would satisfy her.
Emperor Yonghe suddenly felt that Song Peiyu was a good choice.
Born in the Song family, he was carefully raised by Song Jinyu as if he were his son, and he has a special affinity with Chongyi, and the age of the eldest princess is also considered suitable...
After listing Song Peiyu as the princess's son-in-law, Emperor Yonghe could find countless advantages from Song Peiyu.
Stared at by Emperor Yonghe's scorching eyes, Song Jinyu didn't know what to say.
Song Peiyu's health was improved with great difficulty, even if it was a lie, he was unwilling to say that Song Peiyu's health was not good.
It is easy to misunderstand someone casually talking about someone who looks good, and it will delay the girl of the other person for no reason.
Before Song Jinyu could think about how to answer, King Su suddenly walked over from the other side with a wine glass, and asked with a smile what Emperor Yonghe and Song Jinyu were talking about.
Emperor Yonghe smiled "hehe", and didn't directly say that he liked Song Peiyu as the son-in-law of the eldest princess, but said to King Su, "I just saw the raccoon slave drunk and was taken down by Suzaku. I see the raccoon slave on weekdays. They all look so thoughtful, I don’t know what he looks like when he’s drunk, let’s go, let’s go and see the drunk cat.”
Song Jinyu frowned, trying to stop the Emperor Yonghe who was on a whim, "The raccoon slave is making a fuss, I'm afraid it will disturb His Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Su Wang suddenly let out an exaggerated laugh, patted his thigh and said, "How much noise can the raccoon slave make if it makes more noise? Don't worry, even if he wants to kill with a sword, he won't be able to scare big brother!"
With King Su's support, Emperor Yonghe wanted to see the drunk cat even more, so he simply ignored Song Jinyu and walked out directly with King Su.
Song Jinyu was afraid that there would be trouble, so he could only follow up.
In just one month, the paper workshop has successively improved the formula of gold leaf paper three times, which not only greatly reduces the cost of making gold leaf paper, but also reduces many complicated steps.
Although the gold leaf paper made with the improved formula of gold leaf paper is slightly different from the traditional gold leaf paper.But under this kind of difference that can't be noticed without looking carefully, the cost is very different.
Traditional gold leaf paper is basically priceless in places other than Chen State. Even in Chen State, a hundred sheets of gold leaf paper cost 100 taels of silver, which is equivalent to the price of white linen paper for twenty dollars.
The gold leaf paper produced by the improved formula of gold leaf paper in the paper workshop costs only one tael of silver per knife. If the production scale is large enough, the gold leaf paper can earn two taels of silver per knife.
Naturally, Song Peiyu would not ask Chu to set the price of the improved gold leaf paper at two taels of silver.
If the price is too low, Chu State will be extremely unwilling, which is not a good thing for Zhao State.
Song Peiyu took out his little abacus hidden deep in the cabinet, and typed from morning to night, recording data that was as thick as a book.
He felt that the best price for gold leaf paper in Chu State should be around ten taels of silver.
It can not only impact Chen State's monopoly on paper to the greatest extent, but also allow Chu State to accept it.
Of course, when Song Peiyu 'sold' the improved gold leaf paper formula to Chu State, he would not ask Chu State directly at what price the gold leaf paper produced would be sold.
Song Peiyu would only start to mass-produce other improved niche papers in Qihuo City and other counties of Zhao State before the new golden leaf paper recipe was 'sold' to Chu State.
And before the mass production of New Gold Leaf Paper in Chu State, other niche paper mass-produced in Qihuo City and other counties of Zhao State will be sold at a brand new price.
As long as the people of Chu State are not too stupid, they can figure it out and sell the new gold leaf paper at a price of ten taels of silver for a knife, so as to maximize the benefits obtained.
After making all the plans, Song Peiyu carefully checked all the recorded data, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he closed the bound booklet and stretched in satisfaction.
Just recently, Dongliang also noticed that Zhao Guo sold Zhao paper at the price of one tael of silver and one knife in Dongliang. It was definitely not out of good intentions. There are many unbelievable rumors.
He wanted to see how Dongliang would stop the people of Dongliang from buying paper in the paper mills of Zhao State after the price of these papers that were rare but extremely famous had been cut in half.
Looking up, she met Song Jingze's big curious eyes, and Song Peiyu subconsciously looked out of the window and at the surrounding decorations.
It was pitch black outside the window, the curfew time had passed long ago, and the surrounding decorations were indeed Honglu Temple.
Chong Yi was leaning on the slum by the window, holding a notebook with one hand to pass the time.
The dim candlelight fell on Chong Yi's face, not only gave Chong Yi an illusion of tenderness on Chong Yi's indifferent face because of being too fair, but even the tear mole at the corner of his eye became faintly visible, making people want to keep their eyes on it all the time , or go to a closer place to take a closer look or even touch it to determine whether the tear mole really exists.
Chong Yi seemed to have noticed Song Peiyu's gaze, and suddenly put down the notebook in his hand, turned to look at Song Peiyu, the corners of his mouth gradually raised a happy arc.
Song Peiyu also raised her eyes, completely forgetting that there was a third person in the room.
But the third person will find a sense of presence by himself.
Song Jingze unconsciously stood between Song Peiyu and Chong Yi, and happily said to Song Peiyu, "My uncle is finally done! I brought your favorite pastry from grandma, so I'll fill my stomach quickly."
Song Peiyu drooped her eyes, her eyes moved from Song Jingze's face to the food box in Song Jingze's hand, and finally on Song Jingze's bright smiling face.
Only now did he understand how reasonable Ye's worries were.
This little idiot should have a taste of what a sinister human heart is, so that he can have a long memory!
Isn't he fierce enough to Song Jingze these days?
Why is this little idiot still posting it so unapologetically.
If he didn't know Song Jingze's character too well, Song Peiyu would even wonder if Song Jingze added something to the pastry.
After sighing helplessly, Song Peiyu roughly gathered the scattered things on the table to make room for the food box in Song Jingze's hand.
"Why are you here?" Song Peiyu asked a question from the depths of his soul.
Song Jingze said with a grin, "Father said that my uncle will not go home from work at Honglu Temple tonight. He is afraid that my uncle will be afraid of being alone, so he specially asked me to accompany you."
Chong Yi waited for a long time but did not wait for Song Jingze to get out of the way consciously, so he could only get up from the collapse and bypass Song Jingze.
When he walked to Song Peiyu's large desk, Song Jingze's voice just fell.
Chong Yi slowly picked up Song Jingze's words, "First your third brother came to pick you up, and I asked Jin Bao to tell your third brother that you will not go back home if you have any business done today. Your third brother still doesn't believe it." .”
Song San looked outside the door, questioned Jin Bao and Yin Bao in front of Chong Yi for a long time, and then left in doubt.
Looking at the back of Song San leaving, Chong Yiming knew that with Song Peiyu's busyness, even if they could escape from the guards of the Song brothers for a short time, they could do nothing, but his heart felt indescribably happy.
It's a pity that Song Jingze came here before Chong Yi was happy.
Hearing Chong Yi's voice suddenly, Song Jingze's eyes widened immediately, he jumped on the spot like a frightened animal, and then hid behind Song Peiyu non-stop.
After knowing the value of the small plaque that Chong Yi casually rewarded him, Song Jingze was still very afraid of Chong Yi.
Especially after meeting Chong Yi again at Honglu Temple, Song Jingze always felt that Chong Yi had faint hostility, which was far less kind than last time.
Song Peiyu could hear the grievance in Chongyi's calm words, but she couldn't bear to see Song Jingze being frightened like this, so she patted Song Jingze's hand that was tightly holding his arm, and Song Peiyu couldn't help but cast a reproachful glance at Chongyi .
Scaring Song Jingze is no skill, but he has the skill to bully his elder brother.
Chong Yi, who was stared at before he could do anything, suddenly felt that Song Jingze really deserved to be Song Jinyu's son.
Because Song Jingze was afraid of the dark and dared not sleep alone, and he was very fond of the bed. When he arrived in an unfamiliar environment, he had to be accompanied by someone who could give him a sense of security before he could fall asleep.
After Song Peiyu sighed for an unknown number of times, between Yu Chongyi and her nephew, she chose her nephew without hesitation.
He can't help it, who can't afford to offend his nephew's father.
After Song Peiyu and Song Jingze had snacks, they prepared to fall asleep in Song Peiyu's usual nap room.
Chong Yi, who waited from morning to night, fell into deep thought in the yard.
Lai Fu walked lightly to Chong Yi's side, and said in a low voice, "Master Song ordered the little one to clean up the other rooms for you, and you also go to take a nap..."
Facing Shang Chong Yihei's bottomless gaze, Lai Fu immediately shut up.
After serving Chong Yi for many years, Lai Fu has already been able to guess some hidden emotions from Chong Yi's expressionless face.
After an indeterminate amount of time, when there was a faint light in the sky, Chong Yi, who had been silent in the dark all this time, finally said, "Go and ask Mr. An to sort out the account books of the private treasury."
Laifu waited for a long time, but didn't wait for the second part of Chong Yi's sentence, carefully glanced at Chong Yi who was looking towards the direction of the sun, and then deliberately left with a slightly heavy footstep.
It's a pity that Chong Yi didn't stop him until he went out completely.
After Lai Fu told Eunuch An about Chong Yi's order, he was still confused, and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Your Highness is taking your anger out on Mr. Song, and you want someone else to manage the accounts?"
After listening to Lai Fu's words, Eunuch An raised his eyelids to see the expression on Fu's face.
Seeing that the corners of Laifu's eyes and brows were full of worry, and he didn't mean to gloat or look forward to it, Eunuch An patted Laifu on the head, "Do your errands well, and don't think about these things!"
Laifu covered his head exaggeratedly, repeatedly apologizing to Mr. An, begging Mr. An not to take his random nonsense to heart.
Eunuch An deliberately put on a straight face and asked Laifu to beg for a while, guessing that Laifu had a long memory, so he let go and promised that he would never remember this matter again, and let Laifu return to Chongyi to do business.
When Lai Fu was completely out of sight, Eunuch An sighed deeply, and fumbled for the key hanging around his neck to find the account book.
Laifu didn't know why Chongyi asked him to sort out the account books on a whim.
He probably can come up with some reasons.
Eunuch An would rather he didn't know anything.
At least they don't know anything, so they don't have to worry all day, for fear that there will be news from Qinzheng Palace that Emperor Yonghe was so angry that Chongyi fainted, or that Emperor Yonghe ran after Chongyi with a big knife.
Sanqing blesses, Su Wang's mansion only has one small county king committee, it's too thin, it's better to bring a few more younger brothers.
Song Peiyu just wanted to take the time to have a good talk with Song Jinyu, at least...not to guard Chongyi like a wolf.
The caravan led by King Xiang of Chu to the Western Regions finally returned to Xianyang after two years.
At the same time, news also came from Chu State that Song Peiyu's sea-going fleet returned to Chu State after a year of departure.
After a brief rest, he will rush back to Zhao without stopping.
Song Peiyu immediately put all his thoughts on the returning caravan.
King Chu Guoxiang, who led the team, had lost a lot of weight visible to the naked eye, and his face was older than he looked two years ago, but he was in good spirits. The color in his eyes was almost the same as that of people who were much younger than him.
Before he took Zhao Guoren to the Western Regions, Song Peiyu gave him a pamphlet, saying that it was copied from various ancient books and only existed in the Western Regions.
Song Peiyu hoped that King Xiang could find these things and bring them back.
When King Xiang set off, he laughed at Song Peiyu for being too naive to believe in the so-called 'ancient books'.
When he was young, he just started to take the Western Regions trade route, especially when he first took the Western Regions trade route, he was as naive as Soong Peiyu, spending a lot of manpower and material resources to find relevant ancient books, thinking that as long as he prepared enough, he would be able to make the Western Regions It's smoother.
As a result, King Xiang was almost killed by those 'ancient books'.
After suffering numerous losses, King Xiang realized that most of the so-called ancient books circulating in the world are written by people who have never been to other places since childhood, or even the county where they were born, to pass the time s things.
When they ran out of money, these people exchanged these casually written things for money from passing merchants.
Most of the traveling merchants knew the true colors of the so-called 'ancient books', and at most they would give these people a pen and ink money to buy them as vernacular books.After some special treatment to make them old, and then sold to other places, they gradually become real 'ancient books'.
There are exceptionally good stories, and the merchants will find someone to copy the contents of the 'ancient books' on parchment that can be preserved for a longer time, so that the 'ancient books' can be sold at a higher price.
Traveling merchants with more thoughts will even pay special attention to whose "ancient books" are more popular, and spend a relatively high price to reach a consensus with that person, so that that person can provide new "ancient books" for a long time.
The most helpless thing for King Xiang was that even after he suffered a loss, he specially hired someone who could distinguish old paper from real old paper, but he still couldn't avoid being cheated.
Because the literati and traveling merchants hundreds of years ago are not much different from the literati and traveling merchants now.
Fake ancient books become real ancient books, but they are still not the ancient books that King Xiang wanted.
Even if you are lucky enough to collect real ancient books, and the author has really been to the Western Regions, there is no guarantee that the author will use the "Spring and Autumn Brushwork" when writing ancient books, slightly omitting some unpleasant things, and spending more on pleasant things pen and ink.
In short, it is inseparable from the four words 'unrecognizable'.
King Xiang wanted to tell Song Peiyu not to have too much hope, but he didn't know where to start explaining the pitfalls of various "ancient books" to Song Peiyu.
All kinds of beautiful words swirled around his lips, King Xiang just patted Soong Peiyu on the shoulder, and told Soong Peiyu seriously that he would try his best to find things according to the brochure Soong Peiyu gave him, but there was no guarantee that he would find them.
However, after arriving in the Western Regions, King Xiang found that his trip to the Western Regions seemed different from any previous ones.
First of all, as the country closest to the Western Regions in Kyushu, Zhao Guo is rich and powerful, and can provide caravans with perfect logistics that King Xiang could never imagine.
After officially entering the Western Regions, he began to look for things according to the brochure Song Peiyu gave him, and he was able to find one right.
Even if you can't find the things in the brochure for the time being, you will get the approximate location of these things from the local population, most of which are things that can be seen everywhere in the Western Regions.
At the beginning, King Xiang would always lie on the grass with the booklet in his arms and doubt his life. Could it be that his buying of "ancient books" has no other purpose other than being fooled? Is it his problem?
No, King Xiang resolutely refused to admit that it was his problem that he was fooled when he bought an 'ancient book'.
Then the reason can only be attributed to Song Peiyu and Zhao Guo.With Song Peiyu's physique of making money with anything he touches, the ancient books he bought are all true, which doesn't seem to be a particularly unusual thing.
In addition, I have to admit that since the establishment of the Odd Goods City and its growing prosperity, the excitement of the Odd Goods City has become infinitely close to that of Jiangnan.
Countless merchants flock to the Odd Goods City with their treasures, just to find a good buyer for the treasures and sell them at a good price.
As Song Peiyu is the person who actually controls the odd goods city, it is only normal for Song Peiyu to have good things in his hands.
After finding countless reasons to comfort his wounded heart, King Xiang finally suppressed all the unprecedented excitement in his heart, and put almost all his thoughts on collecting the things recorded in the booklet.
There is no difference in what Song Peiyu can take a fancy to.
With the friendly relationship between Chu State and Zhao State, Zhao State eats big meat, and Chu State may also be able to pick up leftover bones.
In case there are really good seeds here, the big deal is that Chu State spends money to buy them, or he works harder, and after returning to Chu State, he will take people to the Western Regions again.
Song Peiyu was overjoyed when he heard that King Xiang said that nine out of ten of the things in the booklet had been found.
All the things brought back from the Western Regions were placed in a special yard. As soon as Song Pei entered the yard, all eyes were attracted by the plants covered with snow-white cotton balls.
It's the cotton he's been thinking about!
In addition to cotton, the caravan from the Western Regions also brought back peppers, eggplants...bitter melon and other vegetables that Zhao State did not have.
Song Peiyu's saliva flowed out of his eye sockets.
He hasn't eaten chili in over 20 years.
Song Peiyu stayed here all day, recording everything brought back by the caravan.
It wasn't until the sun went down that everything was sorted and put away. Song Peiyu told Jin Bao to copy another copy of the sorted booklet and send it to the East Palace, and then took King Xiang who had been waiting all day to eat.
Perhaps it was to save Chongyi and Song Peiyu some face in front of outsiders, but there was no Song family waiting outside the yard to take Song Peiyu home that day.
Until Song Peiyu, Chong Yi, and King Xiang came out of Mingkelou, Song Peiyu didn't see his brothers and nephews, and suddenly stood at the door of Mingkelou, not knowing what to do.
Chong Yi patted Song Peiyu on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Go back to the East Palace with me?"
Although the tone was very calm, without any eagerness, but the gaze that was about to catch Song Peiyu like a hook had already betrayed Chong Yi's deepest thoughts.
Song Peiyu suddenly felt a little bored, maybe she was too happy during the dinner just now and drank a few more glasses, and it was only at this time that she started to feel drunk.
He put the back of his hand on his face, looked at Chong Yi with bright eyes, and deliberately thought about Chong Yi, "What are you doing in the East Palace?"
Chong Yi gave an answer that Song Peiyu didn't expect.
"Eat chili?"
While speaking, Chong Yi placed his palms up in front of Song Peiyu, and on his white palms lay three or four crooked red peppers.
Song Peiyu's eyes widened silently, "When did you take it, why didn't I find out?!"
Although he is very greedy for peppers, the caravan brought back from the Western Regions is limited after all.
When he was in the private house before, Song Peiyu used his self-control to forcefully suppress the idea of eating chili immediately, and deliberately avoided the location of the chili, for fear that he would not be able to hold back.
After the chili seeds mature for a period of time, they can be used as chili seeds next year.
Picking off the peppers now is too extravagant and wasteful for Song Peiyu.
With a turn of Chong Yi's palm, the pile of hot peppers in his hand disappeared immediately.
Song Peiyu subconsciously grabbed Chong Yi's hand, followed Chong Yi's hand to touch the sleeve pocket, and was relieved. He muttered dissatisfiedly, "The sleeve pocket of this dress is quite big."
He touched at least six or seven peppers inside, what a waste!
Chong Yi walked on the palace road in silence, letting Song Peiyu scold him for being too fast, wasting a lot of pepper seeds that were about to fully ripen.
Every time he turned his head, he could see Song Peiyu's upturned eyes and the light in the depths of his eyes.
After eating the supper that was unexpected and surprising, the two of them rolled together to pay food as a matter of course.
Now almost two months have passed since Song Jinyu's birthday, Song Peiyu always felt strange when she was in Honglu Temple, she was unwilling to say anything, and she had no chance in the East Palace.
After two full months of anger gathered together, Chong Yi didn't even have time to let Song Peiyu fulfill his promise in exchange for the last jade power.
Yin Bao and Lai Fu, who were standing at the gate watching the night, looked at each other, showed embarrassing but impolite smiles at the same time, and then walked towards the gazebo tacitly.
Listening to the movement, the people inside would not think of them for a while.
It was the second day after eating chili that Song Peiyu realized how weak his stomach was, or he hadn't realized so clearly for a long time that he was a congenitally deficient cub.
Especially when he was running towards the latrine with his weak thighs, Song Peiyu actually missed his brothers and nephews who picked him up on time every day.
Once again coming out of the latrine covered in sweat, Song Peiyu looked at Chong Yi who was waiting in the yard with complicated eyes.
Chong Yi ate no less chili than he did.
Why is he the only one with stomach upset.
Could it be that the demon's stomach is different from that of ordinary people?
With strong curiosity and unexplainable revenge, Song Peiyu nestled in Chong Yi's arms all afternoon and forced Chong Yi to tell him a story.
Chong Yi cooperated very well. Whatever Song Peiyu wanted to know, he told Song Peiyu in detail. Although he lacked the rich emotion of a storyteller when telling a story, the plot of each story was very different.
Song Peiyu even fell asleep in Chongyi's deep voice, and had a dream of meeting Chongyi in a grotesque world.
After Song Jinyu heard that Song Peiyu hadn't gone to Honglu Temple, she would inadvertently look up at the sky after processing a document.
It wasn't until the boy came to ask him what meal he was going to deliver at noon that Song Jinyu immediately put down the document in his hand and said slowly, "Go to the East Palace and ask if the raccoon slave has left the palace. If he hasn't left the palace yet, ask him to come and eat lunch with me." Meals, let the kitchen prepare whatever he likes."
The servant quickly left and came back. He told Song Jinyu that Song Peiyu didn't go to Honglu Temple today because he ate something bad yesterday and his stomach was unwell, so he probably couldn't come to accompany Song Jinyu for dinner.
After Song Jinyu heard this, she stopped at the door and looked in the direction of the East Palace with complicated eyes.
Is it really because of eating that the stomach is uncomfortable?
After hesitating for a long time, Song Jinyu turned around and walked into the room, and casually ordered the servant, "Let the small kitchen make a bowl of plain noodles and bring them here."
No matter what the reason is, save some face for the raccoon slave, as long as the raccoon slave consciously comes out of the East Palace at night, he will not arrest anyone.
Although she had already made a decision in her heart, Song Jinyu felt restless all afternoon. She always thought of Song Peiyu's weak body when she was a child, and she would have to toss for a long time if she didn't eat well.
After hearing the bell ringing the time, Song Jinyu immediately put down the things at hand and strode towards the East Palace.
Chong Yi, who was cradling Song Peiyu in the greenhouse, also heard the sound of the bell. He lowered his head to look at the person in his arms. Sure enough, because of the sudden sound, tangles flashed between his brows and eyes. Even the eyeballs under his eyelids were not as stable as before, and they were moving back and forth. , may wake up at any time.
Chong Yi hugged Song Peiyu even tighter, and with his free hand, he patted Song Peiyu's shoulder skillfully, and would reply immediately when Song Peiyu was half asleep and half awake, telling Song Peiyu that he was here, Let Song Peiyu sleep peacefully.
Hearing that Song Peiyu was behind the greenhouse, Song Jinyu rushed over in a big stride, and stopped outside the greenhouse with a complicated expression.
Through the completely transparent glass wall, Song Jinyu could clearly see the intimate posture of the two and Song Peiyu's pale and disturbed face.
After hearing Chong Yi's whisper, Song Peiyu's face was still pale, but his expression gradually recovered, and he unconsciously rubbed against Chong Yi's arms.
Chong Yi comforted Song Peiyu, then raised his eyelids to look in Song Jinyu's direction.
From Song Jinyu's perspective, Chong Yi's mouth shape was easily recognized.
'big brother'
Pooh!Who is your big brother?
Song Jinyu turned around mercilessly, striding out of Chong Yi's sight.
After confirming that the distance from the greenhouse was enough so that Song Peiyu would not be affected, Song Jinyu stopped, turned around and asked Song Peiyu, the father-in-law who was chasing him, what was going on.
Eunuch An hesitantly told Song Jinyu that Chong Yi and Song Peiyu ate something that King Xiang brought back from the Western Regions yesterday.Chong Yi didn't respond, but Song Peiyu has been a little bit unwell since this morning, tossing the whole morning, and only got a moment of peace in the afternoon.
He didn't mention this thing called chili, which was food that Song Peiyu had been thinking about for a long time, and he didn't tell Song Jinyu that the chili was brought back by Chong Yi in his sleeve pocket while Song Peiyu was not paying attention.
It can be said that in order to make Song Jinyu less angry, he used all his thoughts in words.
After listening to Eunuch An's words, Song Jinyu did not blame Song Peiyu and Chong Yi anymore.
He blamed this matter on King Xiang.
Since it was brought back by King Xiang, King Xiang must know that people with weak stomachs can't eat more of this kind of food, why didn't they remind Song Peiyu?
Poor King Xiang didn't know what he did wrong, and suddenly he received invitations from the Song brothers to go out for a drink.
The drinks on the table are all good wines brought out from Song's winery, no matter if they are people from other countries or from Zhao country, they have to limit their purchases, and if they don't save for a period of time, they can't drink to their heart's content.
King Xiang clearly sensed something was wrong, but he really couldn't refuse the temptation of fine wine.
No matter how good the wine from Song's Winery is not harmful to health, it cannot hold back King Xiang's three meals a day.
Within a few days, King Xiang was judged by the imperial doctor that he was suffering from a disease called 'alcohol sickness' due to drinking too much recently, not to mention drinking, staying at the banquet for too long would make him nauseated.
This kind of disease can only be recuperated slowly, as long as King Xiang stops drinking and tries not to even smell the smell of alcohol, he will be cured within a year at most.
On weekdays, King Xiang, who would have people serve wine and drinks even for meals, was shocked by the bad news, and was about to settle the score with the Song brothers, so Song Er took the initiative to pay a heavy gift to visit King Xiang.
Under Song Er's sincere repentance, King Xiang reluctantly believed that it was all good intentions that the Song brothers took turns taking him to dinner and drinking, and that 'drunkenness' was an accident beyond everyone's expectations.
After sending Song Er away, King Xiang's dizzy head gradually regained consciousness, but he felt that something was wrong.
After handing over the caravan going to the Western Regions and the things brought back by the caravan to Zhao Guo, King Xiang gave Emperor Yonghe a note.
He euphemistically expressed that he wanted to return to Chu State to reunite with his family as soon as possible, so that he could discuss with the Emperor Chu about "buying" the improved gold leaf paper formula from Zhao State as soon as possible.
Naturally, Emperor Yonghe would not embarrass King Xiang in this regard, not only prepared many gifts for Emperor Chu, but also specially hosted a banquet in Qinzheng Palace to see King Xiang off.
During the banquet, King Xiang just watched others drinking for three rounds, and his mind began to become dizzy uncontrollably.
This reminded him of the experience of being taken out by the Song brothers to dinner and drink some time ago, and he still felt suspicious no matter what he thought.
But Song Er has already brought a heavy gift to apologize to him on behalf of the Song brothers, his alcoholism is not a serious problem, if he cares about every detail, it will appear that he is a man of Chu country.
When King Xiang was feeling annoyed, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Song Peiyu who happened to be alone.
His eyes lit up, and he looked around furtively. Chong Yi was beside the eldest princess, and the Song brothers also had their own contacts, so they immediately walked towards Song Peiyu with a jug in their hands.
The Song brothers fed him for so long, but he only fed Song Peiyu this time, shouldn't it be too much?
When Song Peiyu saw King Xiang who took the initiative to greet him, he felt a vague guilt in his heart.
He is very well-informed, and Eunuch An also specifically asked him and Chong Yi not to let the matter about the chili go away.
Song Peiyu knew the source of King Xiang's 'alcohol sickness' for a long time.
Seeing that King Xiang only regretted not being able to drink, but did not complain to the Song brothers in words, Song Peiyu felt even more guilty.
So when King Xiang picked up the jug to persuade him to drink, Song Peiyu didn't think of refusing at all, and handed over the wine glass very naturally.
King Xiang traveled all over the world since he was a child, and he looked honest and honest, but he was actually the best at persuading him to drink.
In addition, he had nothing to ask for except Song Peiyu to drink, and Song Peiyu didn't become wary of him.
Before he knew it, King Xiang poured all the wine in the flagon to Song Peiyu.
King Xiang was still not satisfied, he was looking left and right where there was still a whole jug of wine, when Song Peiyu suddenly heard Song Peiyu ask him, "Who are you?"
King Xiang was stunned, and turned his head to look at Song Peiyu in disbelief.
Song Peiyu looked at him with blank eyes that were visible to the naked eye, and the calmness and introversion in the past were also scattered, leaving only seriousness.
King Xiang scratched his head, how could Song Peiyu drink so badly?
When he drank with Song Peiyu's brothers, Song Peiyu's brothers were not like this.
Song Peiyu waited for a long time but did not wait for King Xiang's reply, and asked again very seriously, "Who are you?"
After discovering that Song Peiyu was indeed drunk, King Xiang not only did not feel satisfied after achieving his goal, but became even more dizzy.
Why did he feel like he was in trouble?
When Chong Yi left the eldest princess and turned to look for Song Peiyu, he immediately found out that something was wrong with Song Peiyu.
In a normal state, Song Peiyu would never stand there blankly, only her head would move with the people around her, and she would raise her hand and wave to people solemnly.
Chong Yi strode over, "Beaver Slave"
Song Peiyu, whose eyes were full of bewilderment, finally heard the familiar voice, and immediately rushed towards Chongyi, just in time to throw himself into Chongyi's arms.
If Song Peiyu was in a normal state, she would immediately take a few steps back to distance herself from Chong Yi, and would calmly find a decent reason for her gaffe.
But Song Peiyu now is Song Peiyu in an abnormal state.
Song Peiyu blinked her big watery eyes, and carefully identified who was the familiar person in front of him, and she didn't have the consciousness that he threw herself into Chong Yi's arms in front of the public.
Emperor Yonghe just happened to be attracted by the movement between the two, and smiled with Song Jinyu who was beside him, "Is the raccoon slave drunk?"
Song Jinyu's fingers under his long sleeves were tightly squeezed together, barely maintaining a smile on his face, "He has been unable to hold back alcohol since he was a child, and His Majesty made a joke of him. I will find someone to take him down."
"What are you in a hurry for?" Emperor Yonghe waved his hands indifferently, waiting for Zhongyi's reaction with great interest.
Ever since Song Peiyu rushed over, Chong Yi felt all kinds of gazes falling on him, among which the most obvious and the strongest sense of presence was the gaze of Emperor Yonghe and Song Jinyu from above.
Song Peiyu quickly recognized who Chong Yi was, "Your Highness, Your Majesty!"
Chong Yi's heart softened when Song Peiyu spoke word by word. The hand on Song Peiyu's waist slightly exerted force, so that Song Peiyu could lean on his arm with all his strength, and immediately led Song Peiyu to the door.
He didn't want others to see Song Peiyu like this.
"Ha..." Emperor Yonghe sighed to Song Jinyu with a full face, "I didn't expect him to get along well with the raccoon slave." He didn't throw the raccoon slave out.
Song Jinyu looked at Emperor Yonghe's ignorant face, rarely knowing what to say.
The last time he had this emotion was more than 20 years ago.
Emperor Yonghe was dissatisfied with Song Jinyu's ignorance, so he deliberately found a topic that could continue the conversation, turned to Song Jinyu and said, "Speaking of which, Li Nu will be twenty-three this year. I remember a few years ago, you told me Li Nu is weak, so I have to wait until he reaches the crown to give him a wife. Now it is rare to hear that he is sick, have you looked after him?"
Speaking of this, the desire to try on Emperor Yonghe's face was beyond words.
After the birth of the Xiaojun King in Suwang's Mansion, Emperor Yonghe completely gave up the idea of asking the eldest princess to find a husband, and planned to listen to Chongyi's suggestion and let the eldest princess choose a consort who would satisfy her.
Emperor Yonghe suddenly felt that Song Peiyu was a good choice.
Born in the Song family, he was carefully raised by Song Jinyu as if he were his son, and he has a special affinity with Chongyi, and the age of the eldest princess is also considered suitable...
After listing Song Peiyu as the princess's son-in-law, Emperor Yonghe could find countless advantages from Song Peiyu.
Stared at by Emperor Yonghe's scorching eyes, Song Jinyu didn't know what to say.
Song Peiyu's health was improved with great difficulty, even if it was a lie, he was unwilling to say that Song Peiyu's health was not good.
It is easy to misunderstand someone casually talking about someone who looks good, and it will delay the girl of the other person for no reason.
Before Song Jinyu could think about how to answer, King Su suddenly walked over from the other side with a wine glass, and asked with a smile what Emperor Yonghe and Song Jinyu were talking about.
Emperor Yonghe smiled "hehe", and didn't directly say that he liked Song Peiyu as the son-in-law of the eldest princess, but said to King Su, "I just saw the raccoon slave drunk and was taken down by Suzaku. I see the raccoon slave on weekdays. They all look so thoughtful, I don’t know what he looks like when he’s drunk, let’s go, let’s go and see the drunk cat.”
Song Jinyu frowned, trying to stop the Emperor Yonghe who was on a whim, "The raccoon slave is making a fuss, I'm afraid it will disturb His Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Su Wang suddenly let out an exaggerated laugh, patted his thigh and said, "How much noise can the raccoon slave make if it makes more noise? Don't worry, even if he wants to kill with a sword, he won't be able to scare big brother!"
With King Su's support, Emperor Yonghe wanted to see the drunk cat even more, so he simply ignored Song Jinyu and walked out directly with King Su.
Song Jinyu was afraid that there would be trouble, so he could only follow up.
