Chapter 340 Night talk
The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
The city of Guangyang under the snowy night is still bustling with lights all over the streets, but compared with the literati and poets dancing and writing in the past, the streets at this time are mostly people from the rivers and lakes dancing with knives and swords.
Even though it was late at night, hearty laughter could still be heard from time to time in the bars of the restaurants on both sides of the commercial street.
Looking at the feasting lights on both sides through the one-way curtain fence of the carriage, Xu Yuan felt a touch of smoke and fire for a long time.
The people in the market are disturbing, selling and shouting, and the flower boats moored at night are floating gently on the Jinhuai River. The well-dressed museum staff downstairs in Goulan keep attracting the eyes of men on the road.
The governor of Guangyang at that time was a well-behaved official, and the temporary residence prepared for the two princes was located by the Tianming River.
Standard riverside villa.
Of course, this prefect did not arrange it directly in his own name. After all, a yard in that kind of location usually costs thousands of taels of silver to start with, and can even reach more than ten thousand taels of silver after the pattern is configured. These are not things a prefect can buy with his salary. started.
Instead, it was donated in the name of a wealthy businessman in the city.
Although it was not stated clearly, it was indeed a gift.
The place where the two nobles of Tianhuang once lived, do you dare to take it out for someone else to live in?
Don't want your head?
Before leaving, I heard from Lou Ji's young old aunt that the wealthy businessman seemed to be one of the governor's white gloves.
Things worth tens of thousands of taels of silver are free to give away. Over the years, that Fuyi should have embezzled a lot of taels of silver.
However, he is capable, does a good job in practical work, and is very sensible. There are people standing in the hall, so no one checks him.
Xu Yuan curiously asked how much he had eaten.
Lou Ji casually answered him with a sentence of hundreds of thousands.
The leader of the provincial capital on the main traffic road, has been an official here for the past ten years and only has a few hundred thousand taels, which is indeed extremely clean.
Thinking of this,
Xu Yuan guessed that he should also be able to make a fortune.
At the very least, with my identity, I would definitely have no problem getting a Linjiang villa in this city.
But think about it or forget it. In recent years, he has not dared to leave Beijing, and it is useless to ask for this property.
While thinking about it, Xu Yuan suddenly discovered that the carriage had already passed the most prosperous Yusu Street in Guangyang City, and had already entered Linjiang Road next to the ever-flowing Tianming River.
The flow of people has decreased a lot, but the number of night patrols holding knives has increased a lot. There are three groups of people, and a team can be seen every few streets.
This is the real wealthy area of Guangyang Fucheng.
The residences of sect disciples, wealthy merchants, and high-ranking government officials are basically in this circle.
Because of the iconic black dragon on the body of the carriage, there were no conspicuous people who came to check on Xu Yuan, and the expensive carriages Lu Yu pulled over to avoid him from a long distance away.
Leaning on the soft couch and admiring the snow-covered river view boredly, Xu Yuan suddenly asked casually:
"Mr. Wang, how long will it be?"
Mr. Wang is the man in black who was kneeling in the snow just now.
Lou Ji seemed to know very well that it was impossible to bear with his temperament, and would definitely find trouble with Li Zhaoyuan, so she left him to lead the way for him after a long time.
After the words fell, the voice of the man in black who was setting up the horse outside was respectful:
"Young Master, we will be there in two blocks."
"Um."
Xu Yuan responded lightly, and then asked curiously: "Mr. Wang, just now Lou Ji made you kneel in the snow for so long, won't your grand master be dissatisfied with your cultivation?"
The great masters are already considered as a group of people on the top of the pyramid in this world, even in the prime minister's mansion, they are treated very high, just like Zhou Chen and Si Ziyu, they are basically called husbands.
But Aunt Lou's Black Scale Guard looks different inside.
"Subordinates dare not." The man in black replied immediately.
"Just dare not, so there is?"
“.”
The man outside was immediately embarrassed, with a little sweat on his forehead, and was about to explain, when he heard the warm voice inside again:
"Forget it, you Blackscale Guards are more mysterious than each other, um. Since you just said that we are coming soon, that kid Li Yunqing also lives here?"
“.”
Listening to the completely disrespectful titles in the carriage, the man in black gripped the reins slightly, and said:
"The third prince's temporary residence is next to the second prince, do you want to go?"
Xu Yuan leaned on the soft couch, tapped the window lattice with his fingertips, and propped his chin:
"You called him out, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I still miss him a little bit."
The voice of the man in black hesitated slightly:
"Is it a notification?"
"Direct sound transmission." Xu Yuan's voice was a little funny: "As a great master, your soul should be able to cover the entire other courtyard, right?"
"It can be possible, but now it's dark, and I use my soul to explore it without authorization"
"That's right, that kid loves every woman, and now he's being reimbursed by the governor, so he probably called the waitress again."
The man in black breathed a sigh of relief:
"Young Master, we still report to the porter"
"You seem to be practicing Yin Dao Kung Fu? Go ahead and say that Xu Changtian misses him."
"Third Young Master, now that the dignitaries of Guangyang Mansion are gathering, it's late at night, and I'm afraid of disturbing you."
"Who is dissatisfied, let him come to me directly, what are you afraid of?"
"." The man in black.
“.”
“.”
In the turmoil of the snowy night, rushing to the river to wash the stream, in the silence, a deep voice suddenly sounded:
"Third Highness, my son, please come out and talk!"
The sound was deafening under the blessing of the huge source of energy, and the ice cones suspended under the magnificent Qionglou Qiao shattered into ice crystals and dissipated, spreading along the entrance of the mansion.
In the quiet neighborhood, many lights that had been extinguished were turned on again.
Almost at the same time, several vigorous Yihun and Yuanqi came along the sound, but they quietly took it back after seeing the black dragon carriage parked in front of the courtyard.
A few breaths of silence,
"Boom—"
The heavy gate of the mansion was opened from the inside, and it was not the gatekeeper, but a beautiful young man with bare arms.
Barefoot, long hair untied, looks very eager.
It was Li Yunqing.
The black dragon carriage parked quietly on the side of the quiet street, and the inscription lights hanging on the street reflected the eyes of the black dragon vividly.
Seeing the carriage, Li Yunqing's handsome face twitched, and he cursed bad luck in his heart.
This kid is haunted, right?
“.”
In silence,
The man in black opened the car door, and the handsome young man in a brocade robe walked down slowly with his hands behind his back. Looking at the shirtless third son of the royal family who played him, he said with a smile:
"Junqing, long time no see."
"Brother?"
"it's me."
"You were assassinated and still alive?"
“.”
The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes twitched.
Li Yunqing sorted out his expression. Under the light, his eyes instantly showed a sparkle, and then he hurried forward on the snow with bare feet,
come closer,
Li Yunqing's eyes were filled with tears, and he wanted to hug him with excitement on his face, with a trembling tone:
"Junqing...Yunqing thought he would never see you, brother, in this lifetime."
Seeing this, Xu Yuan quickly grabbed his arm, stopped his movement with force, and said with a smile:
"Assassination of me this time is also a narrow escape, my brother shouldn't disturb you tonight, right?"
Brother, acting is acting, men and women can't get along.
Li Yunqing continued to want to hug, with tears in his eyes:
"My brother's death is already the biggest news that Yunqing has heard in the past few months. Even if it disturbs me, Yunqing is also very happy. If my elder brother dies, it may be a big loss for me, but now it's late at night. Qing is undressed"
"Since Yun is so happy, let's go into the mansion for a while, and get dressed for you brother."
Xu Yuan nodded with a smile, and after finishing speaking, he was about to walk directly into the mansion.
Li Yunqing's eyes twitched.
Why is this shameless person thicker than him?
Standing shirtless under the inscription lamp, Li Yunqing glanced at the black dragon carriage, and several black lines appeared on his forehead.
Xu Changtian looking for him?
Looking for farts!
Glancing at another courtyard in the snow a hundred feet away, Li Yunqing gritted his teeth with hatred.
Come to find the second brother next door, why pull him up?
Do you think he has little to do?
But it is a good thing for him that Xu Yuan is not dead.
With a low sigh in his heart, Li Yunqing returned to a smile and walked quickly into the courtyard gate.
In the inner courtyard of the mansion, light snow is swaying, and two figures are sitting on the high attic near the river.
While drinking, Xu Yuan looked at the snowy night river scene amidst the lights:
". Li Fuyi from Guangyang Mansion is a wonderful person."
said,
Xu Yuan glanced at the glamorous lady who was wearing tulle and half revealing her curves pouring wine for the two: "It seems that I still disturbed you tonight."
Li Yunqing was dressed in unlined clothes and a brocade fur coat, with his legs crossed, leaning on the soft couch behind him, and said with a light smile:
"Interested? I haven't enjoyed it tonight."
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked:
"Oh, just kidding, your imperial sister is also in the city."
Li Yunqing raised his glass and sipped the wine:
"She won't come to me."
Xu Yuan took a deep look at him:
"Heh, the tone is not strict. If it is leaked, it will damage the relationship between me and your imperial sister."
"This girl was born deaf."
"I didn't mention her."
"." Li Yunqing.
Xu Yuan raised his glasses with a smile, and the copper cups touched each other, as if chatting with friends:
"Recently, Yunqing wants to live a pretty chic life, playing and singing day and night."
Li Yunqing raised his eyes and glanced at him, then casually threw a drink of dried fruit into his mouth:
"If you don't sing and sing day and night, you may not have a chance in the future."
The river wind blowing in from the window sill floated his long hair, and Xu Yuan's drinking movements froze:
"Oh how?"
Li Yunqing glanced at the courtyard next door as a bachelor:
"My king's situation is not good recently. I was almost handed over by the father to Xiangguo to be buried with you."
Xu Yuan had a strange expression:
"Who did you listen to? It won't move you."
"As for, very as for."
Li Yunqing raised his hand and knocked on the head, with a helpless tone:
"If you think about it, you will know that the second brother is protected by the emperor, which means that the elder brother's power must be reduced. Otherwise, even if the second brother has external forces to help the court, the chances are not great. In addition, this matter must be given to Xu. A public confession.
"Third Young Master, now tell me, who is the most suitable person to hand over in this situation?"
Xu Yuan heard the words and his eyes were full of thought, then he drank the wine in the glass and said with a smile:
"Why, don't you call me brother?"
Li Yunqing also smiled back:
"This king thinks that the third son's call is fluent."
After the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Restrained his smile, Xu Yuan looked at Li Yunqing and asked:
"You really didn't plan?"
"What plan?" Li Yunqing pretended to be confused.
Xu Yuan gave him a meaningful look:
"Your status is actually not low. The Royal Chamber of Commerce is under your control, and some of the Royal Shadow Guards are in your hands. After all these years, I don't believe that you haven't placed your own people in it."
Li Yunqing's tone was very dissatisfied:
"What is my person, that is my elder brother's person."
Xu Yuan was a little bored, leaning on the soft couch behind him, and buckled the table:
"You almost became a victim this time, and you haven't changed your mind a little bit?"
“.”
Li Yunqing glanced at Xu Yuan, then casually took the waitress who was pouring wine next to him, reached into the neckline and rubbed vigorously on the woman's plumpness, and then raised his hand to pass over the table of famous wine and precious appetizers in front of him, And the refreshing and beautiful river view outside the window lattice:
"One needs to be content to be happy. No matter how bad this king is, he is much better than the people in this world who sing and sing day and night. This king feels that life is very easy now, so there is no need to fight for that position."
Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes and said:
"I'm not joking with you this time."
"My lord, I didn't joke with you, third son."
"." Xu Yuan looked slightly disappointed.
Li Yunqing let go of the docile and glamorous lady beside him, leaned slightly closer, and said in a strange tone:
"Third son, I am very curious why you are so optimistic about me?"
Xu Yuan glanced at him:
"In the picture book, it's usually people like you who seem indisputable who win the throne, the prince or something."
"Puff ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Laughed out loud, Li Yunqing even slapped the table with laughter.
Enough of laughing, he sighed long, and glanced at the river view outside the window: "It seems true when you say that, but the reality is not a picture book, and I really don't want to fight, and I can't fight."
"Actually, being a puppet can maintain your current life." Xu Yuan said abruptly.
Li Yunqing's eyes twitched:
"No, how dare you tell me anything, I'm not strict."
Xu Yuan spread his hands together, and raised his glass under the moon to invite:
"You are a smart person. Since you don't want to argue, you won't say it. Well, on the contrary, you have to worry about my poor tongue."
“.”
Li Yunqing was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed, he took the jug from the hand of the waiter, got up and filled it for Xu Yuan himself, coughed lightly:
"Cough, that, brother."
"Don't worry, I'm not that boring."
Xu Yuan was a little funny: "Everyone has his own aspirations, I respect you, but now the time is very tight, if you change your mind in the future, you can wait until the deadline."
Clink glasses and drink up.
Li Yunqing asked in a low voice:
"Chang Tian, are you here to find my second brother?"
"Have you seen all this?"
"If you really want to recall the past, why make such a big fuss."
"Tsk, you're pretty smart."
"." Li Yunqing.
Xu Yuan glanced at Li Yunqing, his eyes were a little cold:
"As for me, I can be regarded as a person of status. I was assassinated. I can't bear it directly."
said,
Xu Yuan looked at Li Zhaoyuan's other courtyard from a distance, and said leisurely:
"Calculate the time, your second brother should also come over."
"Oh? It seems that they are talking about things over there"
Li Yunqing got up immediately after murmuring, put his arms around the plump and soft waist of the shepherd, walked out, and said without looking back:
"Xu Changtian, this king warns you, don't quarrel with me tonight. If you quarrel again, this king will tell the imperial sister that you came to my mansion tonight to meet a private servant."
“.”
Xu Yuan smiled dumbly, watched the other party's back disappear, shook his head slightly, and murmured in a low voice:
"pity."
