The moon is rising, and time has passed.
The closer it gets to the fifteenth Shangyuan, the more the moon looks like a disc, casting a clear light over the ground.
Ye Sangen, who was hiding on the roof, was already somewhat impressed by the Yongzhou envoy. He was probably not a few years older than himself, but he was very capable of manipulating people's hearts.
Not to mention playing with Ning Wei and Wei Wuguo's little desire to make money, even Lanli, a hereditary first-class lady who has been well-dressed and well-fed since she was a child and has no regard for yellow and white things, was also easily manipulated by him. .
It doesn't matter if you don't understand the benefits of money, just give it what you want and give it what you want.
A good family is naturally a good family in the watershed. The Liang family's house in the capital is located in the southeast of the capital, adjacent to the Leyouyuan of Quchi Pond.
The Quchi Pond is naturally a good place for wealthy people in Gyeonggi to have fun. Compared to the Quchi Pond, immediately adjacent to it, due north, there is a high bulge that looks like a hill from a distance, including Seonpyeong, Xinchang, and Shengpyeong. , the fourth square of Shengdao, at the highest point is Ci'en Temple, with a pagoda ten feet high. When you climb to the top, you can overlook the entire capital. The majestic waves and waves directly express your feelings, which is Leyouyuan.
Especially looking at the Qu Pool in the south, the mist is vast and the scenery is different throughout the year. The scenery is excellent.
The two places are collectively called "Xibo Landscape", and together they are one of the best places in Beijing, which also shows their great reputation.
Unlike Quchi Pool, which is so luxurious that you wouldn’t even dare to go there if you don’t have a few pieces of silver, Leyouyuan is really a good place for those literati who are short of money.
Ophiopogon japonicus and peonies are planted all over the walls of the square. When spring and summer come, the mountains are filled with flowers and colors. The four cities are even more planted with willows. The buds are green in spring and the trees are shaded in summer. Each has its own interest. Inside, there are Lefang restaurants, theaters and gambling houses, which are definitely an excellent place for ordinary people to have fun.
Especially during the Lantern Festival and the Zhongyuan Festival, you can choose a perfect open place here to see the lights of thousands of houses in the capital, shining like stars. You can also see the curved pool filled with people holding lanterns, and the painted boats and lanterns connected end to end. Like swimming dragons, they complement each other.
Such beautiful scenery cannot be experienced unless you are in Leyouyuan.
Similar to leaving a backyard, it was also to avoid being suppressed by the imperial court. When he was the leader of the village in Liangzhongting, he cut the roads and plundered the watershed. He slowly transformed the watershed into a legitimate business such as waterway transportation. Naturally, this period was indispensable. In order to manage some important officials in the capital and smoothen their relationships to prevent old government affairs from being brought up again, a house in Shengdaofang in Leyouyuan was built.
Unlike the other three squares, although they are all located in Leyou Plain, only in Shengdaofang, there is a stream of living water coming from the ground to form a small pond. Later, a canal called Shanshui was dug manually, and the water was diverted southward into the curved pool.
There are hills and living water, crystal clear and gurgling. A poet from the previous dynasty left a poem that said, "Ask the canal how clear it is, so that there is a source of living water." This is about this unique western place in Beijing. A connected landscape canal between mountains and rivers.
Especially in the southeast of Leyouyuan, looking from top to bottom, this living water goes south, connecting the mountains and rivers, like a jade belt running across it, shining brightly in the capital.
Lan Li doesn't know how much or how little can be done with the things outside her body. She has enjoyed endless glory and wealth since she was sensible. How can she understand the life of opening her mouth and reaching out for food? Is it true that tea and a meal are hard-won? Therefore, while being satisfied with material life, this lady of Guozhou, who was reborn into this prominent family and became a first-class imperial concubine because of her ancestors' righteousness, may have become arty and imitated those high-ranking officials and began to pursue a different spiritual life.
Wenwan, flowers, birds, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, no matter whether you understand it or not, you must have what others have.
Naturally, in order to further demonstrate his noble status, in this capital city where out of ten people he bumps into, there must be two high-ranking officials in the court and middle court. Lan Li, whose desire for comparison is definitely proportional to his appearance, feels that there is a house that everyone can envy. , can you be worthy of your own wealth.
In her heart, it was at least a level better than the house in Beijing Frontier City that had a lot of history, culture and legends.
Leyouyuan has beautiful scenery and is a unique geomantic treasure land. From Lanli's perspective, it naturally complements her own beauty and identity.
Putting aside whether it is beneficial or not, Lan Li, who is unruly and willful to a certain extent, will not act recklessly. On this Leyouyuan where there are many high-ranking officials and relatives of the emperor, she would not dare - of course not. Will - do something outrageous.
Apart from those things that he couldn't get his mind around, Lan Li's "unique vision" set her sights on the mansion of a good family. After all, compared to the high officials in the imperial court, this man in the world should be nothing more than a splash.
Now it seems that the entrustment is naturally a bit bigger.
The same wealthy family has occupied the waters of the Danxia River for hundreds of years. They bought this piece of land at a high price more than ten years ago or even twenty years ago. A house can be said to be a piece of land. In today's world where every inch of land is precious. The capital should not mention Lanli, a nominal official status, for fear that a first-class official would have to think about it.
Naturally, no matter how much they discussed, they could not reach an agreement. Lan Li especially remembered the face of the good master, the asking price, the squinting look, and especially the undisguised desire in his eyes, which made Lan Li the most A place to look down upon.
Naturally, he abides by the law and will not use any other shameful means, so he will leave this "elegant" matter that can show his identity in the capital. This is why Lan Li has only chosen to stay in Li when visiting the capital. The reason why the Kaihuafang Temple nearest to the Imperial City recommended Fuku Temple.
Of course, I don’t believe in Buddhism. The main reason is that the environment of Dajianfu Temple is better than other Taoist temples.
Lan Li, who has her own rules for food, clothing, housing and transportation, was obviously a little surprised after hearing this answer. The red jade landscape material, which is as red as blood and the setting sun, couldn't help but stop rubbing her slender jade fingers back and forth.
Of course, Lan Li, who is not just big-breasted and brainless, but rather proportionate, is not so trapped by love that she can't speak or do anything in front of Qi Moyan. People who have been living as housekeepers since childhood, unless they are born due to congenital reasons, are not all human beings. Like fine?
Lan Li, who thought for a while and then freed up his thoughts, laughed and said, "Mo Shi's information is really well-informed."
There is no need to clarify the words, the listener is naturally interested. After all, it has been a long time, not even ten years, it must be seven or eight years. The envoy who stayed in this place who just came to the capital not long ago can find out these old things. She also seemed to have a plan in mind, which made Lan Li feel uncomfortable being controlled by others.
With a "clang" sound, the piece of red jade and Nanhong in his hand, which most ordinary people would probably never earn a cent of in their lifetime, was thrown on the table by Lan Li without mercy. It fell up and down into the pot that no one had tasted yet. The mutton in the basin gradually started to spray water. At least some of the surrounding dishes were not spared. For the four people at this table, it was difficult to eat.
Naturally, Lan Li, who had never cared about this table of delicacies, sneered and said, "I don't know where Mo Zhi heard this news from. Someone said this about my wife behind my back, and it fell into Mo Zhi's ears. No, I don't know." Palm mouth?"
You can hear the anger in Mrs. Guozhou's words just from the title. Mo Ying didn't take it seriously. He still had the smiling expression. He was obviously going to waste the delicacies on the table before the chopsticks were touched. He didn't take it to heart and said: "It's not a bad thing, it's just that Mrs. Lan was tripped up by someone at the beginning. It seems that Mrs. Lan is still worried about this matter after all these years, and Ru Ruo still can't let it go. , three days, three days later, I handed over the house deed and land deed of the house to Madam as a meeting gift. I also hope that Madam Lan will consider the proposal I just made. There are many hot springs in Phoenix Mountain, which is a treasure. , then the harvest in one year will be more than one hundred and two thousand taels of snowflakes and silver."
Looking at the calm Ning Wei and Wei Wugou on the left and right, Lan Li, who was naturally not in the same circle as these two officials and officials in the capital, sneered, got up, wrapped herself in a big cloak, and left the table first.
Mo Ying stood up to see her off politely, but still said persuasion: "Mrs. Lan, as long as you nod your head, there will be endless glory and endless wealth behind you, let alone a house. Putting the money in your pocket, why do you need to think about what you want? This is a hugely profitable business, but Princess Ning has opened up connections in the capital, and General Wei has controlled the sales channels to the ancient countries in the Western Regions. You and I only need to sit here at home…"
Under Lan Li's gloomy gaze, which only turned her head, the aura that had only been cultivated by the superiors over the years was natural and spontaneous, making Mo Ying carefully close his mouth.
The outside of the door was no better than the one in the house. Lan Lili, who wrapped her charming body tightly with her hands together, ignored Mo Ying who was talking about her mouth. She glanced around the cold courtyard and called out "Old Chang" softly.
Naturally, it was a greeting to his coachman.
Hidden on the roof of the house in the middle of the night, he had just paid attention to the coachman whose cultivation level even his father did not dare to easily judge. He did not see his figure at that time, but now his voice suddenly sounded.
"exist."
After the sound hits itself, it makes people's hair stand on end.
In the middle of the night, he was so excited that he almost fell off the roof, but the man who was willing to be a coachman put his hand on his shoulder, and the voice sounded again.
"Third Young Master still has the habit of picking off people's walls?"
Without waiting for a reply, Chang Sheng jumped up. The roof, which was more than two feet high, only stretched out his hands to support the eaves and teeth as a buffer during the fall, and landed smoothly.
Then I heard Lan Li say again: "What are you doing on the roof?"
In the middle of the night, I couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Let's see if we can see the lanterns in the city."
Chang Sheng, who never said anything when it didn't concern himself, did not expose the gentleman in Liang Shang.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and saw two people leaving the temporary backyard one after another.
Mo Ying, who was asking for trouble, immediately returned to the hall, and the voice of Wei Wugou, a young general from the Western Regions, came again, "Listen to the meaning of what I just said, Mo Ying has arranged everything for me and Princess Ning?"
Mo Ying, who was seated again, was naturally very proud when he heard this sentence. He obviously had a plan, but he pretended to do it: "Although I have a plan, I still want to make a little more, just a little. Who would think that money is too much for you?" ? Just wanted to come to Mrs. Lan..."
"It doesn't matter what she does."
Ning Wei, who was as muscular as a man and as round as a man, interrupted angrily, "If we don't have her, find Phoenix City Lord Qi Mo Yan, or find another place, just Phoenix Mountain?"
Wei Wugou, who was obviously thinking more, said: "If you really need this kind of feng shui treasure land, why not give it a try and send the house to Mrs. Lan. How can I say her identity is worse than The Phoenix City Lord, a casual official, is more secure, isn't it?"
After being lost in thought for a while, Mo Ying just nodded, "I'm afraid I'll need a few words of advice from General Wei and the Princess. It will certainly be easier than a newcomer like me."
Wei Wugou and Ning Wei, who now have no requirements for titles, even if they didn't say it explicitly, they both knew it and acquiesced, so they naturally agreed to Mo Ying's "little" request.
He summoned his servants to prepare a new table of food and drinks, but before Mo Ying could finish his instructions, Wei Wujiu had already stood up and said, "Don't bother me. I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, and I have long forgotten what the snacks in the streets of Beijing taste like." , it’s rare that I have time, so I’ll take my leave first.”
After finishing speaking, Mo Ying didn't wait for Mo Ying to stay. He turned around and left without any delay. He was really a soldier's no-nonsense character. He came and left in a hurry.
Naturally knowing that this young general from the Western Regions was afraid that he would rush home to discuss with his staff, Mo Yingcai stood up slowly and deliberately, and Wei Wujiu strode across the yard as fast as a meteor.
By now, two out of three, Ning said that it was impossible to stay alone, so he stood up and said goodbye.
No longer polite, Mo Ying stood up to see off the guests.
Now that his curiosity was completely satisfied, he had no intention of staying any longer. It was nothing more than a shameful trick by the official family. It was understandable that these four people who were incompatible with each other were driven together by their own interests.
Regarding such shameful things, I would not go out to report them in the middle of the night. Isn't this also true for the businesses that I secretly support with my Yue family and dare not bring them to light?
They were also very interested in thinking that Ning Wei, who secretly married Wei Wugou in Chen Cang, climbed over the wall and tiles in the middle of the night and disappeared in the vast moonlight.
The small courtyard was once again deserted. Before Mo Ying could return, another man wearing a jet-black patterned hakama with feathers walked out of the room. He had sword-like eyebrows and tiger-like eyes, with a hint of violence. He put his hands in his clothes and glanced at the roof, frowning slightly. .
The sound of a watchman's bamboo bang sounded in the street.
The time of Xu has passed, and at the beginning of Hai, everything is closed and hidden.
