The sky starts to darken, and the most lively night time of the day is about to begin.
The lively and prosperous city of Luoyang is always surprising and admirable. The restaurants, wine shops, gold shops, pawn shops, workshops on both sides of the long streets... flags are flying, and each merchant has sent the most eloquent clerk to stand in front of the shop to solicit business. .
Yang Xianrong lowered her head. As she hurriedly walked through the long street, she was still thinking about the brief hug Liu Yao had just given her. Such a thick chest made people a little confused. However, he could indeed bring her a sense of peace of mind.
"Third sister, don't be afraid. If something really happens, I will come to save you no matter where I am." He was a bit clumsy when he said this. Even if Sima Ying said such words, it would make people feel glib and extremely insincere. .
However, Liu Yao's look suddenly made Yang Xianrong calm down. He closed his eyes slightly and thought for a while before saying, "I hope it's just a coincidence."
"I am an outsider, but if the Jin Dynasty is unstable, there will definitely be chaos in the surrounding areas. You have to know that just because of this prosperity, how many people are envious and coveted. Everyone in the world is greedy." Liu Yao His eyes also reflected the busy scene of people coming and going on the long street, which he was extremely envious of.
After returning to the plum cake shop, Cuixi was still sitting in the shop, and the others stood aside silently. The owner of the plum cake shop had been driven into the stockroom and she was not allowed to come out all day.
Seeing Yang Xianrong coming back, Cuixi immediately stood up to greet her and said softly: "There are many people watching around the plum cake shop. Fortunately, we closed the door. The slave asked Huizhu to move it around frequently and sang a few lines." , no one should doubt it.”
Several military guards such as Yuan Jianshuo and He Jiunian also came over. Yuan Jianshuo also lowered his voice and said: "What can be seen are several military guards of King Zhao, and a few of Sima Juan, Sima Yi and Sima Liang." I didn’t see anyone else. They stared for a while and then left. Of course, they are probably still nearby.”
"Open the door and I'll sit there for a while. Lu Zhu hasn't come back yet?" Yang Xianrong handed the roast chicken in his hand to Huizhu.
"Lvzhu hasn't come back yet." Cuixi whispered.
"Let the proprietress of the plum cake shop come out and I'll talk to her." Yang Xianrong picked up the plum cake on the table and ate a piece. It was sweet and sour and very delicious. The purpose of Luzhu leaving the palace with her this time was to contact all the embroidered messengers, so that these people in Luoyang City would know that the Queen of Jin Dynasty, Yang Xianrong, was holding the jade ring and had the highest authority to command them.
The proprietress of the Plum Cake Shop is in her thirties and looks very kind. It is said that the shop has a history of more than ten years and is also very famous in Luoyang City.
The shop is not big, with three courtyards, a shop in front and a factory in the back. There are not many people in the family, and there are only seventeen people including the waiters. The sales of plum pancakes are so good that it is more than enough to feed a family. Therefore, the landlady also wears gold and silver, looking very noble.
At this time, she was kneeling at Yang Xianrong's feet, looking somewhat nervous and reserved. After all, when Yang Xianrong came over in the morning, she was not qualified to come forward and speak. After being "educated" by Lu Zhu, she stayed in the stock room with her family and friends to sort out the goods.
Seeing the jade ring in Yang Xianrong's hand, she became even more respectful. She even knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times before saying in a low voice: "Fang Minmin, a common man, has been in the palace since he was a child. Fortunately, he was favored by the late emperor and worked in the imperial study." . When Taikang left the palace in the eighth year, he ran a plum cake shop here. It has been windless and rainless for fourteen years now, pickling some delicious snacks for the current emperor, and also delivering some news."
"Who are you in contact with in the palace?" Yang Xianrong rubbed his jade ring finger without any expression on his face. She looked at this small plum cake shop. She had seen it on the street before but had not come in. But if she said that she had been seen by her several times on the street, would she tell her whereabouts? Did you tell Luzhu? Luzhu told the eldest princess again? Did the eldest princess tell the emperor Sima Zhong or Zhang Du?
"The grassroots contacted Chief Fei of the palace tea room and sent plum cakes in every three days." Fang Minmin lowered her head and looked at the toes of Yang Xianrong's shoes, "The Queen's shoes are stained with medicinal residue, can you please Change a pair? Or maybe a grassroots wipe it for you?"
"That's not necessary. But you should be careful..." Yang Xianrong laughed, looked at her, and then at the packs of plum pancakes that had been packed away in the stock room, "You also supply to other people. ?”
"We can also book some of these nearby restaurants, brothels and brothels." Fang Minmin lowered her head.
"Fang Minmin." Yang Xianrong's voice became stern, "Since you are the messenger of embroidered clothes, I have the right to order you to do things. But this matter is very dangerous, are you willing?"
"The Queen." Fang Minmin leaned down and kowtowed, "Since the eldest princess has given this token to you, it means that we have full authority to obey your orders. Sister Luzhu just gave the same order, so even if you want me, the common people's Life is also available, at any time.”
"That's not the case." Yang Xianrong touched the jade ring again. It seems that these embroidered messengers are scattered in every corner of Jin Dynasty, and they are all die-hard people. "I only need you to go to the Luofang Tea House opposite Prince Sima Ying's Mansion and find a way to see the appearance of the daughter of the old lady who orders tea. No matter what method you use, you must see her appearance. Once you see it, , enter the palace immediately, no matter when."
"This teahouse has been open for less than half a year, and the business is very average." Fang Minmin thought for a while, "This matter is easy to handle. I can just sell some plum cakes to the teahouse."
"However, you still have to be careful. Because..." Yang Xianrong paused, "I won't say anything else. This one has a big hat on his head, so it's not easy to see his true face. The old lady who orders tea should know how to order tea. There are a lot of people with martial arts skills in the store and there are many waiters and cooks... You can take care of the specific details yourself, as soon as possible, definitely as soon as possible."
"Yes." Fang Minmin leaned down and kowtowed again, looking very well-behaved.
"One more thing." Yang Xianrong thought for a while, then reached out to Cuixi and took out a big purse, which was full of silver taels. "There are about a thousand taels here. Go and buy the Qianghuo from all the pharmacies in Luoyang City. No matter how much it is, buy it back. If it’s not enough, you can put it down first and then ask me to reimburse you later, and you will be reimbursed in real terms.”
"Okay." Fang Minmin must have been trained, or rather an embroidered messenger personally trained by the late Emperor Sima Yan. She knew what to ask and what not to ask, so she just bowed her head and agreed, and acted honestly. However, his observation ability is also extremely strong, so he should be a powerful character.
"Pay attention to safety and be careful not to let others stare at you." Yang Xianrong still warned.
