The 108 squares in Chang'an are scattered in an orderly manner, from north to south, and they are generally divided into rich and poor.
It is reasonable for the princes and nobles to live closest to the imperial city. Most of them are serving in the court or are old officials who have become officials. At least they are close to the imperial palace, so they can listen to the holy will immediately - naturally , also to save time when going to court.
To the south, bounded by the east and west cities, there are roughly three to four paifang cities on the east and west sides in sequence to the south, where tens of thousands of merchants are concentrated, similar to the princes and nobles scattered near the imperial city. These merchants are close to the east and west cities. , but also to make a living by buying and selling.
Further south, all the way to the towering city wall of the capital, there are gathered Li people with their backs to the sky and their faces to the loess, or those outsiders who have come to the capital to seek wealth and wealth but have not yet made a fortune.
Liquanfang, a city with a sweet and clear spring that has been bubbling for thousands of years, has dozens of wineries, large and small.
There is also the eldest princess's house.
In the remote and quiet veranda near the back door of the house, there is no fire dragon in this room and it is a bit cold. The sick man holding the hand stove is drowsy against the brazier.
The woman was dressed in palace attire trimmed with gold, and her floor-length robe was dragged off the floor by two well-behaved maids. After the woman, who was lightly applying makeup to enhance her nobility, pushed the door open without saying hello, the two maids bowed. Stand back and wait respectfully outside the house.
The man in the room was startled, opened his eyes, and hurriedly stood up. He coughed slightly, and wanted to kneel down to salute, but the lady waved him off.
The lady, who was naturally the only eldest princess in the dynasty, knelt down opposite the low table and motioned for the sickly man named Bai Jiahui to sit down. Then she asked, "Have Mr. Jiahui ever gotten used to living here? "
Coming from the Bai family in Jiangnan Dao, a wealthy family that is quite famous in the world, the man suppressed the itch in his throat and his voice was slightly suppressed, "Get used to it, get used to it."
Princess Lingjing was obviously not used to the coolness. She rubbed her hands that were already red from the cold after just a few steps and said, "It won't be this cold after spring starts in a few days. If Mr. Jia Hui can't adapt to it, , I can ask my servants to buy another stove.”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Bai Jiahuicheng said in fear, "As a commoner, a place to shelter from the wind and rain is enough. I don't dare to ask for such extravagant things."
The eldest princess, who has a high status in the dynasty, laughed and said: "Mr. Jia Hui is so humble. This is not like the first person in the Bai family who has the title of winning the gold medal."
The sickly man with a nice name was no longer as humble and polite as before. He was disrespectful to the eldest princess's compliments and accepted them calmly.
Naturally, he knew that this powerful and powerful eldest princess was just here to be polite to him, so Bai Jiahui sat silently and said nothing.
The eldest princess did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point, "How is the situation going?"
Bai Jiahui did not speak bluntly, but asked: "What result does the eldest princess want?"
Even if she is not considered to be a good-looking woman, she has a special charm at this age. She smiled and said, "It all depends on the husband."
It cannot be ruled out that Bai Jiahui was trying to be mysterious and unfathomable, and what he said was even more vague, "That's almost it."
The eldest princess said "Oh", puzzled and waited for the next words.
Obviously unable to bear the cold in the north, Bai Jiahui took the small quilt from the soft couch beside him and wrapped it tightly.
"I used the Yongzhou Liuhou who had just arrived in Beijing to make a plan for Mo Ying to sue a Jianghu man named Liangwei. It doesn't matter whether he framed Liangwei or not. The main purpose is to get closer to Liangwei. The boy from the Su family entered the game. The girl from the Su family and Ye Sangeng had an ever-evolving marriage. Based on my understanding of Ye Sangeng’s behavior over the years, if I sued him for Su Liuyin’s affairs, it would be I'm not afraid that he won't intervene. If something unexpected happens to the Su family at this time, what will Ye San Geng think? What does the eldest princess think, based on Ye San Geng's temperament of killing people in the street for the Loulan girl? thing?"
After going around in a big circle, the eldest princess suddenly realized.
Bai Jiahui smiled broadly, "Now, eldest princess, do you understand why Mr. Bai asked you to propose marriage to the Holy One?"
Still somewhat unable to understand the connection, the eldest princess frowned slightly, and the understanding she had just now turned into confusion.
Bai Jiahui took the trouble to explain patiently, "This is the Ye family who is fighting against the enemy. If Ye Zangeng commits the same crimes as he did more than a year ago in the middle of the night, who can save him?"
The eldest princess understood immediately, raised her thumb and praised sincerely: "Sir, you are brilliant."
He was not complacent, nor was he polite and humble, as if he had just done an insignificant thing, eating and drinking was as simple as eating and drinking, and there was no trouble in his white clothes, "So, if the Ye family continues to protect the night, then... haha. "
Although she didn’t understand why the Bai family’s top talent who suddenly came to talk to her about a big deal years ago was always so vague and mysterious, Princess Lingjing knew that this meeting gift, which Bai Jiahui called a certificate of submission, was , in these ten days, it has become easy for him to do it.
Bai Jiahui reached out his hand to pick up a piece of burned charcoal from the brazier on the side and put it into the hand stove. He seemed to be talking to himself: "I have arranged for someone to add a fire last night. I can't wait until tonight for another fire." Add more oil and it will be done."
This morning I also heard some news about Jingzhao Mansion from people in the house. With the current contact, I guessed it right. Princess Lingjing said unintentionally: "Then why is the child dead?"
Naturally he knew what he was asking, but Bai Jiahui still looked enigmatic, "It's just some small tricks. It's not an exaggeration to think that the princess can control people's minds."
Seeing that the other party did not mean to tell the truth, Princess Lingjing did not ask further questions, but pointedly said: "I didn't expect Mr. Jia Hui to have such an ability. He is very powerful."
The eldest princess Lingjing reached out to pick up the long drill and flicked the red charcoal in the direction of Bai Jiahui. It was obvious that this gold medalist from Jiangnan Road had not done anything in the past few days, and it was a big move when he made a move. Although the eldest princess did not say anything, Just being able to do the servant's work with your own hands is enough to see the change in Bai Jiahui.
Bai Jiahui just smiled and said, "The eldest princess can decide what happens next."
"That's natural." The eldest princess, who had a grudge against her business being disrupted by midnight a year ago, was happy, "Sir, just wait for the good news."
Bai Jiahui shook his head, "The way has been pointed out to the eldest princess. No matter which way we go, it will be good news."
So straightforward, the eldest princess just smiled and answered.
Princess Lingjing, who had been gently fiddling with the charcoal, glanced at the morbid man in front of her that she couldn't see through, seemingly casually, "Mr. Jia Hui, what do you want to do when you come to Xibo?"
Bai Jiahui chuckled and said, "Restore the prosperity of my Bai family."
The eldest princess finally stopped moving and looked at Bai Jiahui, "Mr. Jiahui still treats me as an outsider?"
Bai Jiahui, who was still smiling, said: "It's revenge, revenge for the eighteen lives of the Bai family that died tragically that year."
Just a wry smile.
"From the beginning to the end, I have to deal with the Ye family, not just three times a night." Bai Jiahui said slowly, "More than four years ago, the Ye family was assassinated by a group of unknown thieves. No matter how late night fell, the young man At that time, I made countless enemies in the world, and I had many enemies when I joined the army and politics. Regardless of Ye Hongtu, being a trial partner in the world would inevitably be biased, and I would be a little disdainful of his warriors. Why are you so sure that I, the Bai Family, belong to me? Why? Ye Hongtu secretly killed eighteen members of my Bai family in Jiangnan Dao in ten days to avenge his mother-in-law. Should my Bai family deserve to die? Could it be that the hundred-year-old family fortune of my Bai family was so mysteriously destroyed in one day? ?”
Princess Lingjing only responded with four words, "Daydreaming."
I understand what this noble lady means. After all, she is a king with a different surname who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people. How can I, a commoner with a declining family, have such ability?
An earthworm shakes a big tree, which is ridiculous.
However, Bai Jiahui didn't take it seriously at such ridicule, "Eldest Princess, believe it or not, someone will come to help me."
Bai Jiahui's unfounded confidence made Princess Lingjing frown slightly, "Who?"
With another inscrutable expression, Bai Jia smiled and said nothing.
Most of all, she couldn't bear to be so pretentious, but the other party had just done her a big favor and solved the knot that had troubled her for many years. The eldest princess didn't want to criticize him too much. She changed the subject and returned to the previous topic, saying: " Wei'er also told me about green tea. She said that Mo Ying, the envoy who stayed in Yongzhou, wanted to plant green tea in Fenghuang Mountain because the land there was unique, nourished by hot springs, and the output was greater than that in Yongzhou. high."
Bai Jiahui nodded in agreement.
"What is your relationship with Mo Yingmo?"
Regarding the sudden question from the eldest princess, Bai Jiahui did not hide anything, "I traveled a few years ago and took on my apprenticeship."
Princess Lingjing asked: "You don't want to leave a place to deal with the Ye family, do you?"
Bai Jiahui, who no longer wanted to continue this topic, remained silent.
The eldest princess added: "Can I understand if you ask Mrs. Guozhou, and she will become your helper? After all, that Nizi and Er Nizi of the Ye family are not easy to deal with."
Bai Jiahui lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.
The eldest princess who stopped asking further laughed and said: "Since that is your apprentice, Wei'er is not allowed to have contact with him anymore. As a master, you can tell me how profitable this green tea is. If it is suitable, don't use blue tea." Come on, wherever you want to plant it, I can come forward and run it."
When the other party got to the point, Bai Jiahui finally said: "I can't explain it. If the eldest princess is really interested, she will take a pack and taste it when she leaves. Bai can guarantee that you will have endless aftertaste after drinking it once." It will make you feel refreshed and refreshed. The longer you drink it, the better you will be than the gods."
Princess Lingjing couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Jia Hui is talking about a panacea or tea? Is it more effective than the Nine Turns Resurrection Pill? Can it also strengthen the body and prolong life?"
Bai Jiahui was serious. He took out a neatly stacked tea bag from a small cabinet on the side and handed it to the eldest princess with both hands. "It's not impossible."
The rather ridiculous woman picked up the tea bag and sniffed it, and there was indeed a strange fragrance that was different from the fragrance of tea. She unconsciously couldn't put it down.
Bai Jiahui said with a smile: "The eldest princess will make a decision after trying it. Then we can talk about your share and my share."
After just a few sniffs, the eldest princess nodded impatiently, "Okay, in that case, let's talk about it in detail someday."
After speaking, he stood up to leave. Bai Jiahui quickly got up to see him off.
After walking a few steps, Princess Lingjing stood still without warning, without looking back.
"If Mr. Jia Hui is interested, I can introduce someone who may be able to help Mr. Jia Hui get revenge."
There was no surprise as he expected, and the Bai family who was bowing slightly and raising his head was not surprised. As if he would get this answer naturally, he said: "The patron king made great contributions to the Great Zhou's southern and northern campaigns. As a royal family, The eldest princess turned her elbow towards me, an outsider..."
"Mr. Jia Hui, don't carry a gun or a stick when you speak."
Turning her head and glancing at Bai Jiahui, who still had an unpredictable bland expression, the eldest princess directly interrupted: "I will choose a suitable time to ask that person. If he disagrees, I will also There is no other way, if he agrees, I will take you there."
Without waiting for Bai Jiahui's reply, Princess Lingjing pushed open the door and walked out. Her floor-length robe slowly slid across the threshold, and her voice was heard again.
"However, it is not easy to wait for this time. I am afraid it will take a long, long time."
The man from the Bai family in Jiangnan, who shoulders the mission of reviving the declining family, straightened up.
"I've been waiting for four years. Will there be another four years?"
