The Lady of the Red Chamber

Yun Qing slowly sat on the boat going to Yangzhou, unsteadily looking at the scenery outside the window.Thinking about a few days ago, Emperor Detai was shaking because of the depression and anger of the elder prince towards the honorable ministers, and decided to put all these bad court affairs out of his mind during this short time of sightseeing. Strain out, hard for a sweet pistachio.

Liang Yiheng opened the curtain and walked in, holding a chilled mint herbal drink in his hand, and put it on the table in Yun Qinghu's room: "Slow down, drink some sweet water to relieve the heat. After all, this boat is no better than land, and you don't often go out. There is no need to panic in the room."

Yun Qing slowly took the exquisite small porcelain bowl in Liang Yiheng's hand and drank it all in one gulp, then wiped the corner of her mouth: "It's delicious."

Liang Yiheng smiled and said: "I cooked a lot. If you want to drink, I will ask Ah Yue to serve you another bowl."

A few days ago, Yun Zhengran and Yun Haoran summoned the juniors of the Yun family to the lobby and talked about Yun Qingchi's upcoming inspection of Yangzhou with the King of England.

Salt administration has been the most important thing in all dynasties. The salt tax in Yangzhou is a major source of income for the dynasties. The salt inspector has always been the emperor's confidant.According to the practice of the Daqing Dynasty, every year, the central government will send people to monitor the salt officials and inspect the salt administration in the name of the emperor's cronies and close ministers.

During the Detai dynasty, Prince Situ Jin was the one with the highest status in the court and the one who could control the situation the most.

His Majesty intended to train the King of England, so he was named an imperial envoy and went to Yangzhou personally.At the same time, Feng Yun was cleared late, and Li Xiuwen was the head of the household department, accompanying the King of England, and went forward together.

The Duke of Qin's government was noncommittal about His Majesty's favor, but Yun Zhengran was determined to let his daughter go out to see the world.

"I'm going too?" Yun Qingxu's eyes widened, and her mouth formed an "O" shape.

His Royal Highness and the eldest brother have important matters to attend to. She is a little girl. Would it be too... weird to go with her.

Lin covered her lips and smiled, looked at Yun Qing and said slowly: "Of course you didn't go all the way with Chi'er. Our Yun Mansion is originally from Yangzhou. Your father means that you should take this opportunity to go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors."

Return home to worship ancestors.

Yun Qingxuan had been living in the small family of Qin Guogong's mansion, and only regarded Yun Zhengran and Yun Haoran as her relatives, but she forgot the deep-rooted clan concept of the ancients.

As long as there is no division, it will always be a family.

However, Yangzhou...

The last time I went to Yangzhou with the Lin family to celebrate my uncle Lin Ruhai's birthday was almost four years ago.Ever since she came to the capital, Yun Qingxuan hadn't been out of the important places in the capital, which almost suffocated her to death.

Hearing that he could go far away, Yun Qingxuan was as excited as if he was pumped: "Mother, besides me, who else will go with me? Will you and auntie go?"

Yuan shi smiled and said: "The Duke said that His Highness took Chi'er to Yangzhou first. You and A Yu, Yiheng waited a few days before going out by boat. This time to worship the ancestors, Yiheng will take care of you. My siblings and I are also relieved. If this is the case, we won’t join in the fun with you.”

Yun Qing eased his blessings to his soul.

Yun Qingyu is already 14 years old and will get married in a few years.As the heir of the Yun clan, sooner or later he will bear the burden of the Qin government and even the entire Yun clan.

Uncle let the second brother officiate this time, obviously he is going to abdicate and delegate power.

But whoever inherits the Yun family has nothing to do with Yun Qingxuan.In short, both Yun Qingchi and Yun Qingyu are good brothers who love her dearly, no matter who becomes the Duke of Qin in the future, they will not treat her badly.

Just like that, Yun Qing slowly ordered Bai Lu Baishuang to pack her salute utensils, and after several tosses, finally set foot on the road to Yangzhou.

It's worth mentioning that Lin Ruhai didn't know how Lin could persuade him.Lin Ruhai actually agreed to let Lin Daiyu go back to Yangzhou with her.

This made Yun Qingxuan very happy.

As a result, Meng Xiuchang got the news from nowhere and followed him.The ancestor worship of the Yun family turned into an amusement for a group of juniors to watch mountains and rivers.

Yun Qing slowly blew on the sour plums that were specially added to the fenugreek drink to relieve tiredness and promote body fluids. After drinking half a bowl, she felt a little full, so she asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing now?"

Liang Yiheng ordered Ah Yue to put away the bowl, and took a slow look at Yun Qing: "Daiyu is more interesting than you. She is on the deck, focusing on the mountains and rivers, and has written several poems with a brush. Let me teach you together."

Yun Qing slowly shook her head: "Sister-in-law, it's not that you don't understand me, you don't know anything about poetry and lyrics, and I don't open my mouth at any flower banquets. It's better not to join in the excitement of my cousin and others."

Liang Yiheng knew that Yun Qingxuan's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were not bad, and the female worker even had the reputation of being the first embroiderer in the boudoir among the noble girls.Only poetry is her Achilles' heel, she can't be taught well no matter what.

Over time, even Yun Qingchi gave up.It is only said that Yun Qingxuan must not open his mouth during banquets in Biefu, no matter who invites him to write a poem, he politely refuses.After all, if you don't know how to write poems, you only lose your own people. If you let others laugh at you, it will hurt the face of Duke Qin.

Yun Qinghuan was a little tired and wanted to go to bed and take a rest.Seeing Liang Yiheng, he didn't bother, and got up to go out.

Unexpectedly, Yun Qingyu came in at this time, saw Liang Yiheng, first bowed to his elder sister-in-law, and then said to Yun Qing slowly: "Wait a minute, the boat will be docked later, do you want to go near here?" play in town."

Yun Qing heard this slowly, her eyes lit up, and her sleepiness disappeared, she looked at Yun Qingyu: "Second brother, can we really get off the boat? How long can we play?"

Yun Qingyu said proudly, "Play as long as you want. We're not in a hurry. It doesn't matter if we delay for a few days on the road."

Yun Qingxuan immediately stood up, took Liang Yiheng's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, are you going?"

Liang Yiheng shook his head, and patted Yun Qingxuan's arm: "I'm a little tired, it's good for the four of you to go. A Yu, bring more guards, so that you can take care of Ranhuan and Daiyu."

Yun Qingyu said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, with me and Xiu always around, nothing will happen to the two younger sisters."

Xuzhou is the nearest state capital to Yunfu Big Ship Dock.The prefect of Xuzhou governed well, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.Xuzhou also relies on a large wharf, with merchant ships coming and going, and a prosperous trade economy. Its tranquility and prosperity are comparable to those of Kyoto.

Yun Qing slowly took Lin Daiyu's hand and walked ahead, stopped in front of a stall, held up a sachet and said: "Cousin, look at this sachet, it's so beautiful."

Xuzhou has many characteristics that the capital city does not have, and the lantern rings sold on the roadside are also very local.Yun Qingxuan has always loved collecting these gadgets, and as soon as she sees them, she can't put it down and play with them.

Yun Qingyu saw it, and joked next to Yun Qingxuan: "Fortunately, His Royal Highness the King of England is not here, otherwise you would have bought this street."

After hearing this, Yun Qingxuan stopped looking at the sachet, her eyes were bent, she looked as innocent as a rabbit: "Second brother——"

Yun Qing called out slowly and sweetly, and Meng Xiu often heard this protracted tone, and couldn't help rubbing the goose bumps on his arms.

"Second brother, you are so kind to me, you must buy anything I want, right?"

Yun Qingyu actually wanted to say: "No, sister, your brother and I have no money."

Unexpectedly, before Yun Qingyu could refuse, Yun Qing slowly took a look at Meng Xiuchang, and continued: "I heard from the Meng family brother that he always loves sister Xiujing the most. The temple asked Xiujing for a peace talisman consecrated by the master. You see, the elder brothers of the Meng family can do this, and the second elder brother, you are also an elder brother. You will definitely agree to a little request from the younger sister."

Yun Qingyu's face twitched, he regretted that he teased Yun Qingxu just now, it really screwed him over.

Yun Qingyu still wanted to make amends, Yun Qing slowly continued: "I was so envious after hearing this, and told Princess Huining that my second brother would love me so much. Second brother, now that cousin Lin is here, brother Meng Also, you will definitely not let me lose face."

Yun Qingyu: "...don't worry, just tell the second brother what you like, and the second brother will help you buy everything."

Yun Qing was satisfied, and took Lin Daiyu's hand, as if to buy a whole street.

Meng Xiu often laughed so hard that he almost fell to the ground: "Qing Yu, you will inevitably go bankrupt and eliminate disasters today. Hahaha, His Royal Highness is so blessed, how can there be such a lovely person as Sister Yun."

Yun Qingyu glanced at Meng Xiuchang: "You also said that you just ask for a peace talisman for sister Meng, and you have nothing to show off in front of the princess. Now it's all right, the monthly money I have worked so hard to save will be gone again .”

Meng Xiu often looked at the backs of Yun Qingxuan and Lin Daiyu, and patted his friend on the shoulder: "Don't worry. How much you spent is recorded in the account. His Royal Highness said that he will pay for sister Yun's expenses along the way. Be responsible. This is a good time to kill two birds with one stone."

Yun Qingyu glanced at Meng Xiuchang, and took his hand off his shoulder: "How can this be done? To spend money for my sister and ask His Highness the King of England to ask for it, then what am I doing?"

As he said that, he left Meng Xiuchang behind and followed the pace of Lin Daiyu, who was in a clear and gentle manner.

Meng Xiuchang muttered "duplicity" in the back, and waved his fan: "You wait for me too."

This Yun Qinghuan and Lin Daiyu went into a treasure pavilion and picked and choose inside.

Lin Daiyu picked up a hairpin with white jade and bamboo knots, and asked, "Huan Huan, what do you think of this hairpin?"

Yun Qingxuan was trying on a gold-thread-wound rose-shaped bracelet. Hearing this, she looked at it and said, "My cousin has really good eyesight. Although this hairpin is simple and unpretentious, it also has a certain style."

Those who can work in this kind of store are all good people. The waiter next to him saw the clothes of the two sisters when they came in, and knew that the two women in front of them were either rich or expensive, and immediately smiled and said: "Second This girl is really discerning. This hairpin is made of high-quality mutton fat white jade, and its tentacles are warm. Even in our Treasure Pavilion, it is a top-notch treasure."

Yun Qing slowly put down the bracelet, feeling a little strange: "I wanted to ask when I came in. You are also called Zhenbao Pavilion, does it have anything to do with that Zhenbao Pavilion in the capital?"

"Ouch." Xiao Er exaggeratedly exclaimed, "you don't know that. The Treasure Pavilion in the whole world is actually a store. Don't think we are located in Xuzhou, but our store is actually The workmanship quality of these jewelry is exactly the same as that of the Treasure Pavilion in the capital. Even some of the jewelry we have here may not be available in the capital."

Yun Qing calmly said: "So it's a chain store. I just don't know such a talented business method, who came up with it?"

Xiaoer said: "Who else? Of course it is our boss, Miss Liang."
