Speaking of Liulan, we must first talk about Sang Xiaoyun's life experience.
Based on the information she revealed intermittently when I was explaining the lyrics, this gentle and talented woman who lives in the world is actually not from a lowly background.
¡°Moreover, it can also be said that she is the queen of a famous family.
Although according to her words, when Liulan was annexed by the Xiao Kingdom, she was just babbling and had no clear impression of the decline of her ancestors. However, in the subsequent wandering life when Liulan was first destroyed, through the oral accounts of her family, this The girl basically knows about the family¡¯s past - although she didn¡¯t say clearly who her ancestors were, but from her tone, I can clearly tell that her grandfather¡¯s generation was one of the ministers who served in Liulan, and he was also a strong advocate. The hardliners who fought against Xiaoguo to the end.
"It's a pity that the original leader of the Liulan Kingdom was stupid and incompetent. After the Xiaoguo navy defeated the Liulan navy and landed troops, he made a damn move of surrender early, which ultimately led to the catastrophe of this group of hardliners.
Sang Xiaoyun¡¯s family is one of them.
???????????????????? And it¡¯s not just her, there are many girls with high status in Lanhui Tower who have similar status, including the girl Jianlan who is quite famous for her chivalry.
Having said this, anyone would think that it is quite reasonable for these heirs of the original resistance faction to end up living in the brothel of the Xiaoguo capital, because no eggs are left intact under the influence of the whole family. After the strong countries of the past dynasties annexed the weak ones, they all They like to use this method to suppress stubborn resisters and destroy the will of the remaining people to resist.
But after talking to Sang Xiaoyun for a while, I discovered that things are not that simple
"Compared with the traditional practice of being sold into slavery, many of the well-known girls in Lanhui Tower did not sign a deed of sale and stayed in the building as free persons.
Sang Xiaoyun is one of them.
Do you sell your art but not your body? Short of silver flowers? joke!
Why would a beautiful and talented girl like Sang Xiaoyun come to a brothel to make money? If you find a rich and powerful person to marry, even if you are a concubine, you will be a hundred times better than you are now!
What¡¯s more, a large group of beauties have chosen this path ¡°invariably¡±! This can't help but make me, a thoughtful person, feel weird
I thought to myself for a moment, and suddenly I discovered that the water in Lanhui Tower was no shallower than the water in Liuhe River - I always thought that these girls were just "furnishings" in Lanhui Tower, but now it seems that they should all be He was directly involved in certain things, and his status seemed to be quite high.
The reason why Miss Gladiolus "cares" about Mo Wuyi, a carefree prodigal swordsman, seems to have a more reasonable explanation; of course, Sang Xiaoyun's "enthusiasm" for me can naturally also be directed in this direction. understand.
Thinking of this, I can't help but look forward to the fact that the owner of Lanhui Tower will come to visit me in two days - maybe the legendary Liulan forces who are most loyal to Jiang Yingqi, the leader of Xiao Kingdom, may not really be here. As loyal as he appears! The situation is critical, and anyone who is smart will leave a way out for themselves, let alone King Liulan, who is extremely powerful in the Xiao Kingdom.
I gained something in my heart, I felt relaxed, and I became more and more comfortable talking to Sang Xiaoyun. And this girl did not disappoint my suspicion. When she was talking intimately with me, she would also beat around the bush from time to time. Ask me some of my views on the current situation and my impressions of Liulan
Well, to describe it in one sentence, we all have our own agendas!
A man and a woman were alone in the room, and time flew by so fast that half a day passed without feeling anything.
Sang Xiaoyun originally wanted to let me and Tie Muyun have dinner together, but since Rumengfang had just been established and there were still many things to worry about, I did not agree to her kindness.
But just when I was getting ready to go downstairs, something happened at the right time that made me laugh or cry.
"Young Master came down just in time. There is an distinguished guest in Rumengfang! He named you to receive him personally." Cao Cheng, who didn't know when he came, stood beside Tie Muyun and spoke anxiously.
"Your distinguished guest? Who is it?" I frowned, thinking that the people who wanted to find out the details came really quickly. Before Rumengfang officially opened, someone couldn't hold it back.
"Yes" Cao Cheng glanced at Sang Xiaoyun, who was standing beside me, and seemed a little hesitant.
"But it doesn't matter."
¡°It¡¯s His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Xiao Kingdom!¡±
"Huh? Prince Jiang Hao?" I was stunned on the spot, thinking that this thing is getting more and more interesting!
After Lanhuilou and Juxianlou successively established a relationship with me, a Nanle merchant, the prince finally couldn't sit still, but I didn't expect that he would come to the door in person., instead of sending some minions to test the situation first.
He actually thinks so highly of me? This is unexpected!
"Did he have any reason to come?" My mind turned and I continued to ask.
"No! He only said that he admired the young master's talent and stopped by Rumengfang to have a look" Cao Cheng frowned and replied in a low voice.
"That's it. Let's go back quickly. Don't offend His Highness the Crown Prince." After pretending to be anxious, I turned to Sang Xiaoyun and said, "Miss Xiaoyun, please stay. When you are free in two days, Tian Come visit again in Qi.¡±
"Young Master, you don't have to be polite" The girl smiled softly, then stared at me with bright eyes, and suddenly added unexpectedly, "If Young Master encounters anything embarrassing, please inform Xiaoyun as soon as possible. If If you need help from Lanhui Tower, sisters will do your best."
The girl said it very politely, but the meaning behind her words carried a lot of weight!
"Obviously, she was hinting to me - if the prince wants to threaten me to fall to his side, Lan Huilou is willing to stand up for me!"
Seeing the sudden incident, the girl didn¡¯t dare to be pretentious.
"Okay!" I agreed readily, and I quickly left Lanhui Tower with Tie Muyun and me
¡¡
"I didn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince arrived, but Tian Qi missed his welcome! Please forgive me!" In an exquisite elegant pavilion in Rumengfang, I saluted respectfully to the man in front of me who was surrounded by seven or eight guards.
The prince of Xiao Kingdom, Jiang Hao, is a man with no distinguishing features. He is about thirty years old and has a lot of crow's feet, which seems to be caused by being in a bad mood all year round.
"There's no need to forgive me! Your Highness passed by today because he only valued Mr. Tian's talent, so he stopped by to give you a heads-up." As soon as I finished speaking, a man with a deer-headed and rat-eyed person next to Jiang Hao spoke first.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your HighnessI don't knowwhat wrong thing did Tian Qi do to make His Highness unhappy?" I looked at him with pretended surprise, and I answered with sincerity while guessing the identity of this person.
remind? What to remind?
The most that can be done is to fabricate an unfounded accusation to stimulate us and test our confidence! We are not children and cannot even see through this.
"Haha! Mr. Tian, ??there is no need to panic. I just heard the ministers talking about it yesterday, saying that the words you wrote on the Emerald Lake that night meant that the Liulan survivors did not dare to resist Xiaoguo's rule, so I passed by today and stopped by. Come in and see what kind of Nanle talented man he is, he is so sad for Liulan." Seeing my shock, Jiang Hao, who was surrounded by guards, said with a smile.
His voice had an unhealthy hoarseness. Although the few words he said seemed very ordinary, they sounded very stressful to my ears.
I didn¡¯t expect this guy to be so wretched as to use my poem as an issue, and it was such a serious matter that he was suspected of "rebellion" - if you say it well, it¡¯s just a poem; if you don¡¯t say it, it¡¯s a crime. It¡¯s so big!
Although I don¡¯t know whether what Jiang Hao said about the courtiers discussing is true or false, I can understand the meaning of the second half of his sentence - since he said that he knew that I was a Nanle merchant, and he stopped by to take a look. Why do I feel sorry for Liu Lan? It means that he "currently" does not believe that I have any conspiracy intentions.
But whether I am guilty or not in the end depends on whether I follow the path or not!
"Your Highness Mingjian, Tian Qi composed the lyrics on the lake the day before yesterday simply because he was on Miss Xiao Yun's boat, and because he had a selfish desire to win the favor of the beautiful woman, he composed this poem based on the fact that she was born in Liulan. Words Tian Qi is just a merchant. This time he was entrusted by several Nanle trading firms. He just came to Xiaoguo to gain some profits. How dare he insinuate political affairs! His Highness Wanwang would like to put in a few nice words for me to avoid being wronged "As soon as I thought clearly about the meaning of Jiang Hao's words, my expression became more frightened and I began to defend myself anxiously.
"Okay, okay! His Highness knows that it was your unintentional mistake, so he came in to take a look at your Rumengfang. By the way, I would like to remind you to be careful in the future! As long as you know what is good and what is good, this matter will not be difficult to solve." The deer-headed and rat-eyed Mr. Seeing my panic, he smiled with satisfaction and took over the topic.
"Tian Qi understands! Tian Qi understands!" Pretending to wipe the non-existent cold sweat on my forehead, I nodded my head in a polite manner, indicating that I knew what he meant by "good or bad".
"Tian Qi, one thing comes to another! Putting aside the matter of that poem, it is surprising that you bought this large-scale Lichun Courtyard overnight. I just saw you, the girl from Rumengfang. They rehearsed songs and dances, which is quite unique It seems that you are well prepared for the fireworks business on both sides of the Liuhe River." Seeing me looking like a philistine who is greedy for life and afraid of death, Prince Jiang Hao squinted his eyes and spoke again,The deputy smiled at the noble appearance of the ants.
"Your Highness is wise, this matter has been a deal that several merchants in Nanle had planned for a long time, so Tian Qi was also prepared. The day before yesterday, the people working below accidentally found out about the sale of Lichun Courtyard, so they decided on their own initiative If there is any conflict with His Highness, I hope His Highness will forgive me, and Tian Qi is willing to make up for it!" I continued to pretend to be frightened, while talking casually, and at the same time I did not forget to pass the responsibility to the servants.
Well, Cao Cheng, the "temporary worker", was shot
"You know the truth! It is said that Li Chun Yuan is the property of the guilty minister and should have been confiscated. However, the Holy Lord was kind and did not pursue the crime of disobedience of Li Shilang. Therefore, His Highness originally planned to buy this place so that the Shilang and his family could lose their support. I want to live the rest of my life happily with money, but I don¡¯t want you, a Nanle person, to get ahead of me. It¡¯s not true that you are guilty, but it¡¯s true that you are wrong.¡± Mr. Zhangtou started to interject and show off again.
¡°I don¡¯t know who this guy is, but he always gets ahead of Jiang Hao and speaks out loudly without any scruples about master-servant etiquette. It seems that he should be trusted by Jiang Hao.
"Sir, you are right in your accusation! Tian Qi acted recklessly. I hope His Highness will show mercy. As long as His Highness has any instructions, Tian Qi will definitely try his best, even if he offends the master of Juxian Building!" I bent down and saluted sincerely, and I made He looked like he knew what was right, and announced on the spot which side he was on.
The miserable owner of Juxian Tower, Heng Wuxin, was also shot while lying down!
"Heng Wuxin? Could it be that he threatened you that night?" Jiang Hao's expression changed when I mentioned his opponent's name, and he spoke bitterly
