Si Tian Guan

Chapter 31: collapse

For Liu Chongming, the festival is not something to look forward to.

He has to go back to the Hou Mansion, not to mention his family who can only see each other a few times a month, because his father is not a person who likes liveliness, and many entertainments and situations require him to take care of it .

Father only met with respected elders in the clan and senior officials in the court, so other clans split up, and there were many other trivial matters such as the visitors who sent posts, etc. Liu Chongming needed to come forward.

So although he does not serve in the court, many people in the court and family are also very familiar with Liu Chongming.

He is still young and undecided. His father also said that he respects his choice, and getting to know these people is a good way to go in and out.

On the other hand, more people do not want the Prince of Peace to be separated from the DPRK and China, and of course no one would believe it.

Being busy until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Weizheng will take over these matters and let his son go out for a breath.

According to the usual practice, there are many peers and juniors in the main branch of the Bailiu family, not to mention distant relatives.

Liu Chongming will greet and relax together, get on a few boats, and float aimlessly on the inland river along Xijing Street.

The older ones like to stay in the cabin, and the younger ones are crowded on the deck, vying to put on the river lights.

It's a rare time of year to have fun.

Liu Chongming and Baishiyan had a round of drinks with the people below, and went up to the deck to blow the wind. The night was falling, and there were many river lights floating on the river. Showing a little bit of red.

There are still many people on both sides of the strait who are calling friends and buying lanterns to guess riddles.

At this time last year, the juniors were clamoring for candy, and he would not buy these things in the market on weekdays. Everyone has bought a lot.

But now that I see it, I don't have any interest. Thinking about it carefully, he seems to have not taken the initiative to taste these things for a long time.

Maybe it's because there are too many things to worry about.

"What are you thinking?" Baishiyan leaned aside, as if not afraid of the cold. In this weather, she only wore a layer of fine quilted quilt, and she didn't even need a cloak.

"There's wine." Baishiyan didn't reject his good intentions, he put on his clothes like a kindness, shook the jug at him, saw the other person shaking his head, and continued the previous question: "This The new year has just started, is it possible that you will start thinking about the entry of money into your account this year?"

Liu Chongming looked at him with a smile: "What's the matter? Who would think that money is too little?"

"How much can Qisheng Building be credited?" Baishiyan didn't go around with him, and asked directly: "I remember you were not optimistic about it before."

Liu Chongming was not surprised by this question, he knew that sooner or later the other party could not help asking.

"It won't work like this right now. Next spring, we need to start the construction and change the layout. I plan to drink tea downstairs and take a break. Upstairs, half of the treasure pavilion for appreciation and play is divided into half. Recruit some Western Regions Huxuan Dancers, storytellers or something."

Baishiyan is very dissatisfied with his answer, which is obviously avoiding the important.

"Chongming, you know what I'm asking."

"I didn't pay for Qisheng Building, don't you know about it? What if you don't like it? Someone gave it away for free, why should I not?"

"Why did Pan He send you Qisheng Building?"

"He made a boat shipment with someone last year. If it wasn't for me, he would have lost all his money, and he would have owed me a personal favor. This year he plans to run away, but he is afraid that he will be at great risk. , I was thinking of following my merchant ship on the waterway in Kaichun, if you don’t show it, why would you be so embarrassed to beg me?”

Liu Chongming said it simply, but didn't tell his friends about the deeper things - Pan He would take the initiative to reach out to buy Qisheng Building, and he bought it after understanding his plan in small talk with him. to please him.

The ins and outs sounded very clear, and Shiyan thought about it, and felt that he was making a big fuss.

But thinking about how this Qisheng Building was going around, it really fell into Chongming's hands, he couldn't be at ease no matter what he thought.

"Are you worried that I will be plotted?" Liu Chongming asked him.

Baishi Yanxin nodded reluctantly, but also felt that Chongming’s previous statement made some sense.

Pan He's ship involved a lot of things before and after the accident, like a mess, if that person could even calculate this, why bother to suffer so much, and almost got killed several times.

Chongming couldn't understand these many contradictions, let alone he.

"If it's a calculation, what good will it do to him? Even the deed of sale is in my hands. I can use it if I want, sell it if I want, and if I want his life, he will also If there is no room for resistance, what kind of flowers can be found?"

Liu Chongming didn't explain it, but it made Baishiyan feel at ease: "Chongming, who are you talking about?"

"Shiyan, don't play dumb with me, we grew up together, I know you worry about me."

Liu Chongming was silent for a moment: "I admit, he is really interesting, but it's not too much for people to let go, at Qisheng Building, I have people staring at him, if there is any situation, I will promptly tell me."

Baishiyan kicked the railing and sighed after a while.

"It's good that you have a good idea. You were busy in the mansion a few days ago, and Fang Wuyang was not good to harass you. He sent a message back to me, saying that the people in the booklet, Except for the six I didn't find, the others are..."

Even if you don't say the following words, Liu Chongming knows what to say. Forty-two of the forty-eight divination cases have been fulfilled, although Du Quan did not have the courage to clearly record what the hexagrams said. , but this accuracy is alarming enough.

"See him another day, say thank you for me, and tell him not to talk nonsense." In fact, the last sentence was superfluous, Liu Chongming knew that Fang Wuyi was not a big mouth person.

His fingers tapped on the side of the boat, looking at the river.

"Shi Yan, in fact, I didn't really think about the Qisheng Building just now. Did you hear about the two princes a year ago?"

"What?" Baishiyan was very happy to hear Liu Chongming say something about the court, knowing that Chongming was not really unwilling to pursue a career, and he was willing to see it.

this situation.

"Last year, the people under King Ning's subordinates were unfavorable in suppressing the bandits, and they caused chaos in the people. There are still people here who are unwilling to forgive Zhezi, and they have been making trouble until the roots of the new year."

Baishiyan sneered: "The emperor is concentrating on praying for blessings at this time, so chasing the underwater dog to fight, the dog can't hit, but the emperor is not happy, who has no eyesight to drag the queen's legs. ."

"Do you have any eyesight to see, everyone is in the mirror, I'm just curious, with Jiang Xingzhi by King Qi, why didn't he stop him?"

"Perhaps he thinks it's a good time to get rid of King Ning? After all, King Ning's affair with King Huai hasn't been turned over before. If you punish him for several crimes, can he suppress people?"

"What a joke, King Ning is the direct prince, this can be suppressed, what are they playing? Jiang Xingzhi is not so stupid. If it goes on, it will be good for King Qi, but I don't know which one is coming up this time."

Baishiyan looked at the river, and suddenly said: "Jiang Xing changed the reception to Qisheng Building last time, and sent someone to Xiaoqu brother's hometown to inquire, you say... Does he plan to take Xiaoqu Brother get it up?"

"I thought about it before, what you said is not impossible," Liu Chongming exhaled a long breath: "But he may have miscalculated a little."

"Which point?"

Liu Chongming thought about how many times he had been so angry that he was so angry that he had no choice but to smile bitterly: "This person, Qu Chenzhou, can't make a fart with three sticks, he is stubborn and hard, you think the emperor can bear it. He? He is suspicious. If he enters the palace in the morning, someone should collect his body at noon. Does Jiang Xingzhi still want his head?"

"I just said that I'm not good at this aspect, you always talk about it with me." Baishiyan laughed: "After that year, it is estimated that it will be another big show. I bet that Ning Wang wins this time."

"Then I can't bet anymore, I also bet King Ning. My father said that Tang Shizhong has always made small moves recently, and his hand has been stretched from the door to my father's side. Looking at the posture, not only want to put I want to swallow the Shangshu Province too.”

"I don't know if it's peaceful in the palace, I guess it's vented to the empress. Not sure, the emperor will let go."

"I really don't understand what the emperor is thinking." Baishiyan looked around and interrupted.

"What's not clear? The three princes have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Baishiyan also agrees: "This is natural, the king of Qi holds the sixteen guards of Nanya in his hand, and the news in the palace is the most well-informed, but it's hard to say, the Queen, Concubine Ming and Concubine Yu are also all In the palace, in the event of an emergency, it is uncertain who will kill the deer."

"In this way, we are actually the farthest away," Liu Chongming glanced at him and smiled: "General Bai, work harder."

"What am I trying to do?" Baishiyan laughed angrily: "I already have the Sixth Army of the Beiya, and you still expect the emperor to give me the Nanya?"

"What's impossible? I heard that the Nanbei Ya and Jinxiu Camp were all in the same hands."

"You mean Pei Dutong?" Bai Shiyan thought about it carefully: "Forget it, my father seemed to have a good relationship with Pei Dutong in his early years, and even he didn't know what happened to Pei Dutong in the end. Now, such a terrible thing, if you can't die without a whole body, don't even think about it."

He looked at Liu Chongming and asked, "Don't just run on me, what about yourself?"

Chongming is so concerned about what happened in the DPRK, does he really have no plans to become an official?

"I haven't figured it out yet," Liu Chongming thought for a long time before slowly answering: "It doesn't matter to me whether I get a job or not, I just want to know what happened to my brother back then. Shi Yan, where do you think I should go? Where can I find the truth?"

Baishiyan covered his head: "Don't tell me this, you can discuss it with others, I'm just a soldier."

Liu Chongming also smiled wryly, besides being able to talk to Baishiyan about this, who else can say.

If only someone could help him...

As soon as this thought came to him, another shadow suddenly appeared in his mind, and the calm and steady hand made him stop breathing for a moment.

If Shi Yan knew that he was still thinking of that person from time to time, he would nagging him.

"You didn't talk to your uncle about these things?" Bai Shiyan asked.

Liu Chongming shook his head, his father was a completely different person from him.

Although my father is not only a hereditary marquis of stability, but also holds an important post in the court, but it seems that he was born in the world. Except for taking care of his duties, he doesn't say much about other things. , so it is always seen as the central figure standing in a neutral position.

And he seems to be free from the imperial court, but he is more considerate than many people who have entered the office, and he is born to worry about it.

"What about the second uncle?"

The second uncle mentioned by Baishiyan is Liu Weizheng's younger brother Liu Weixian, Liu Chongming's second uncle, and the minister of household affairs. Like the Bai family, it is the most frequent branch.

Liu Chongming also shook his head.

It is not difficult to ask the second uncle to do things, but it is impossible to talk to the second uncle about serious business.

Liu Weixian's reputation for being romantic is all over the capital. Until now, there is no real lady in the mansion, only a few servants. Although there are two concubines, it is inevitable to wince in front of Liu Chongming, and the relationship is not very close.

He saw his second uncle a few times recently, and the second uncle smiled and wanted to talk to him about "something that only men understand", and planned to give him a few, which made him extremely annoying.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the deep love between my uncle Bai Shining and his aunt and his wife, just looking at the situation of his own family and his second uncle's family, Liu Chongming would really not have the slightest interest in starting a family.

One year, another year older, don't want to say something?"

Liu Chongming didn't reject his wine this time, just looked at the hazy lantern reflected in the wine, and sighed softly: "Congratulations, it's another year..."

The weather was cold during the Chinese New Year this year, and it took nearly two months for it to gradually warm up and work can begin.

Qisheng Building has not been moved for more than ten years. This time, it was greatly changed, and it was found that many places had decayed. It is lucky that there have been no accidents in these years. Layout, refurbished together.

It took more time than expected, Baishiyan once laughed at him and said that Pan He gave him a mess, and before he made a few money, a lot of money was lost The same goes out.

Liu Chongming certainly knows that he will not do business at a loss, but he always needs to put more effort into making money. In the process of rushing to work, he can no longer be a hands-off shopkeeper. Eye.

Every time he was in a place not far or near, watching the figure busy with the crowd.

Childish appearance, now looks like a handsome young man.

Even with the scars on her face, she stood out from the crowd and stood out.

Only the pair of calm demon pupils were the same as before.

The first time he passed, the man saw him, and after a brief glance at each other, he looked away calmly, and lowered his head to do his own thing.

Every time after that.

Liu Chongming once suspected that the other party didn't see him, and when he went again, he called everyone to come and lecture, and stood in front of Qu Chenzhou.

Who knew that the other party only stared for a moment, just like everyone else, knelt down and kowtowed.

This made him feel a sense of frustration all his life, even inexplicably a kind of grievance like being prostituted for nothing.

Once, he didn't even have a chance to defend himself.

After all, he was the one who started it, and this is the **** worst.

Even Baishiyan sometimes winked at him and asked him if he would go to the little waiter in Linxing Huanyi Building again, and kindly suggested that he might try a few more houses, this kind of thing can help Fang Fang Learn from the scriptures without incident.

If it wasn't for his cultivation, he really wanted to strangle Baishiyan and Qu Chenzhou to death.

From then on, he no longer took the initiative to look for the figure of that person, even if he occasionally saw it, he told himself in his heart that he didn't see it on purpose.

Still can't leave him.

He came over to take a look, expecting the other party to look at him more, and then went home in a rage.

He even wondered if he had spent those two months with a ghost? Now that the ghost has been reincarnated as a human, he can't remember anything at all?

Do you want the stewards to come and talk to you?"

"No, go back." He lifted the reins and turned the horse's head: "The weather is hot, prepare more water for them."

"Yes."

The horse's hoofs have not yet swayed, and the crowd in the distance suddenly became noisy, and everyone stopped their hands and rushed in one direction.

"Sir, something seems to have happened over there."

The crowd watching the excitement was pushed aside by the attendants. Before Liu Chongming could see what happened in the middle, the steward ran to his horse sweating profusely, bowing frequently in fear Body: "To disturb the prince!"

"What happened?"

The manager wiped his sweat embarrassedly: "Master Hui Shizi, there...someone was fighting..."

His voice paused, and when he didn't know what to scold, there was a huge roar and choking billowing dust behind him.

The Qisheng Building, which had begun to take shape, collapsed suddenly, where he stopped not long ago.

[Don't use God's perspective to urge them to be together] They need to run in slowly. In fact, if they are together at once, they will feel abrupt and wise. Regarding the people who appeared before, Pan He, King Qi, Jiang Xingzhi, and later Appearance, and about Xiao Qu's situation and ability, I think I have not written any daily routines in the conception, and I have been writing the progress of the plot. The text will be very long, don't worry Xiaoqu's previous life If he hadn't met Chongming, he would have been humble and unstoppable for the rest of his life. When he got up, he worshipped Chongming at first, and was forced to become independent until Chongming left. He is now a person who has experienced a lot and is assertive. Liu Chongming himself has a lot of responsibilities, but he is still young and has not experienced anything. They need to get along with each other. Don't worry, I love your comments very much, and I hope that I will not be affected as much as possible. I know that everyone wants to watch Tiantian right away. , I have read it slowly. I know from the previous article, there is sweetness, and there is abuse, and it develops along the outline
