Qu Sanniang left the Prince Teng's Mansion in a crew-neck shirt. The Kabuki performers in the Prince's Mansion take a break every six days, except for special periods. Today is her turn to take a break. Without any intention of covering his tracks, he headed straight to the West Market.
The Persian Mansion in the West Market was opened by merchants from Persia and other places in the West Market as a place for people who paid tribute from outside to trade jewelry and antiques. Pearls, jade, and Wenxi Yao stones are worth thousands or hundreds of dollars. They are also called gold and silver nests. After all, tribute envoys not only have to present tributes, but also need to engage in monetary communication activities and participate in various banquets.
What, the Bei family is a qualified Tang Dynasty official? How can we call the Bei family qualified? It's just a little local product from the friendly countries, to express our cordiality and friendliness to the Tang Dynasty.
Walking into a shop with a domed wooden sign in Bosidian, Qu Sanniang walked directly to the second floor without anyone stopping her. The layout of the second floor is a single room. The door of the single room is closed, and a silver and gold medal hangs on the left side of the door. She chose the single room with the word "Gaochang" and walked in. The curtain beside the window had even folds and was decorated with beads and gems. On both sides were long ribbons with ramie patterns. On the thick cypress wood square table, there are complicated treasure patterns painted on it, which are composed of lotus patterns, rolled petals, cloud patterns and other patterns. The petals stretch freely and the colors are as gorgeous as the clouds... I wonder if I can go back one day?
Not long after I sat down, a man wearing a lapel Hu robe and a woman wearing a gold embroidered Hu skirt came in.
The man frowned slightly and said somewhat unhappily: "Third Princess, I told you at that time not to come here again. You'd better have a strong reason, otherwise... Chang'an City is very big, not only with many people, but also very complicated. .”
I received the gift money to help her participate in the oiran audition, and also helped her win a lot of votes. She couldn't reach the top eight, so she couldn't blame us.
Qu Sanniang didn't say anything to defend her. No matter how much she said, there was no real benefit that could move people. He took out a gold cup with a tiger handle inlaid with rubies from the leather bag, glanced at the woman, and said in a low voice: "Please help me leave Chang'an and return to Gaochang City."
That Prince Teng... I don't know why, but I am very afraid of him. His careless eyes seem to be able to read my thoughts. So... so-and-so wants to go home, even if he dies, so-and-so wants to be with his mother-in-law, instead of being dumped somewhere to fend for himself for no reason.
"We can't help you," the woman said softly. Very standard Tang Dynasty Mandarin without any cumin accent. "Prince Teng, we can't afford to offend you, and we don't want to offend you. This golden cup... you can keep it as a memory, or you can exchange it for a gold cake and keep it with you."
Qu Sanniang took out a smaller bag from the leather bag and poured out the rubies, emeralds and diamonds inside. Auntie gave these to me to save my life at the critical moment... I must leave Chang'an!
"Third princess, there is no need to be like this. Prince Teng is Your Majesty's favorite younger brother. We cannot bear his anger." The woman pushed the various gems back and advised softly. "Do you know how many women want to enter Prince Teng's Mansion? Don't be ignorant of your blessings."
The more critical reason is that Pei Sheren from Prince Teng's Mansion is sitting next door! It is true that we seek wealth, but the prerequisite for seeking wealth is the flower of life.
"Hua Jin, you said you owed me your life." Qu Sanniang hesitated for a long time, and some of the hesitation was more of a desperate sadness.
Hua Jin raised her hands to cover her face. Is Yuzhu crazy? If you say this, I won't be able to help you in the future! King Teng sent someone to come here in advance, and you will definitely be useful... When you are no longer of use, you can try to leave... Put down your hands, reluctantly took off the scimitar from your waist, put it next to Qu Sanniang's hand, and said: "Yuzhu, you can take my life right now. I won't resist, let alone have any complaints. There are just dozens of people here, and I can't throw away their lives for you."
After a pause, he added: "No one in the entire Chang'an City dares to help you."
As for whether Yuzhu can understand the unfinished words, she can only rely on herself. His Majesty went east to Luoyang and is now the prince overseeing the country. His relationship with Prince Teng is quite delicate. At least he does not like Prince Teng.
Qu Sanniang smiled miserably, put away the gems and gold cups, stood up and left the single room, the shop, and the West Market. The prince lives in the East Palace, who can see him? Even if he saw it, it would be useless. The prime minister was left in Chang'an. No matter what his relationship with Prince Teng was, he would not allow the prince to steal his uncle's dance performance.
At that time, you no longer need to plan how to leave Chang'an, but consider whether you will be sent to Yazhou, Leizhou or Jiaozhou?
At this time, in the Khotan single room on the second floor of the shop, Pei Chengxian looked at Hua Jin with a friendly smile and said, "You are very good, but you dare to instigate Qu Sanniang to find a new backer. You'd better pray that she goes back to Prince Teng's Mansion directly. Otherwise you will have to find a way to become a concubine."
Hua Jin: "..."
Have all you people in the Tang Dynasty changed like this?
The man who was with Hua Jin crossed his arms and saluted and said, "Pei Sheren, please help tell Prince Teng that we are following another prince."
Having been able to operate in the West Market for many years and still doing well, Prince Teng wouldn't be so naive as to think that he could do it if he had money and goods, right?
"You can try and see if the prince behind you can protect you." Pei Chengxian stood up and walked out the door, sneering. The princes of the Tang Dynasty were not thirty, but some were twenty-seven. There were really no people who didn't know Prince Teng's lazy temperament. But people who don't know that King Teng is open-minded are not only the princes and princes, but also the officials of the three provinces and six ministries.
Hua Jin caught up with Pei Chengxian and took out two pieces of fine Khotan jade from the hanging bag on his waist. She put them into his hands without any fireworks and said with a soft smile: "Pei Sheren was joking. I'd like to take advantage of this." Give us six courages, and we won’t dare to instigate a relationship between Prince Teng and His Highness, or other princes.”
Gently blocking Pei Chengxian's hand, he sighed: "You have something to say, Yu... Qu Sanniang's character is not that strong. She has probably thought about it now, and is most likely considering how to make a living in the future. She came to Datang too. It’s not to find a happy husband or to marry into the prince’s palace, it’s just to keep her mother-in-law.”
Pei Chengxian raised his eyebrows slightly. The prince has always wanted to find a woman who is eloquent and can handle things clearly to be the shopkeeper of any mountain or slope... Go back and ask if it is possible for a foreign woman. If so, this Hua Jin is good, at least Being able to become a candidate...he accepted the two pieces of jade and said with a smile: "Have you ever thought about changing your place to make a living? I promise it will never be worse than here!"
So far, nothing the prince wants to do has been accomplished!
Of course, there was nothing in particular he wanted to do, except go fishing. Fighting and losing, fighting and defeating, never getting tired of it... The final result is usually Xiao Shidu or Ye Shidu helping to spear fish, someone can't understand the fun of it!
Hua Jin: "..."
No, walk slowly, no delivery!
