"No matter how cold the wind is, I don't want to escape. No matter how beautiful the flowers are, I don't want them. The higher the sky, the smaller the heart. No matter how much karma, I fall drunk alone … "
Under the accompaniment of the musical instruments, the singing of a female chorus could be heard.
"Zaifu, it's Xiao Hongchen and Li Yi's work." Pei Yaoqing introduced to Zhang Shuo.
"I know, but I don't know who can set up such a formation. Listen, the various instruments and singing voices. Is it something ordinary people can do?"
Zhang Shuo listened and felt a sense of familiarity. He even simulated the dance postures of the women in his mind.
The sound was getting closer and closer. It seemed like they were heading for the cafeteria.
Zhang Shuo and Pei Yaoqing stood up and stood at the door to look outside.
After a while, a group of lanterns appeared, followed by women holding musical instruments and a woman sitting on a small cart playing the zither.
There was also a group of women singing and dancing as they walked over.
"Isn't that the researchers of Pyong Kang Square?" Pei Yaoqing recognized them. They were the original Xiao Hongchen song and dance troupe.
Who was it? How capable they were to be able to invite these people over. How cold was the weather now?
The group went all the way to the open space outside the cafeteria. There, they performed on the spot and sang some of the poems written by Li Yi.
"Let's go and eat a few bites to warm up. We still have to go out and show others." Some of the women took a break and walked quickly into the cafeteria.
The people in the cafeteria recognized them and greeted them with smiles.
"You're here again. Hurry, Dongzhu is happy today. Everyone is eating hotpot."
"Aiya, why are you here at night? It's so cold. "
"The songs you're singing and dancing must be written by my Dongzhu, right?"
The farmers were very enthusiastic. On one hand, the beauties were so beautiful that the men wanted to take a few more looks.
On the other hand, they knew where these women belonged. Pyong Kang Square, Nan Qu. Each of them was full of talent.
"Shopkeeper Liang and the others couldn't take it anymore. They asked someone to come over and apologize. They invited us sisters and sent a lot of food and live pigs. They're all by the river."
"It added up to no less than ten thousand pigs. That's ten million dollars."
"They even gave us two thousand pigs. We sent them over together. We know that Li Lang is in charge of many people's livelihood."
"Tonight, we'll be performing for everyone. Make sure to prepare the food. It's cold outside, so take turns to come back and eat something warm."
The 'great families' of Nanqu were happily chatting with the farmers. They told the farmers that some of them had lowered their heads.
Then, Shopkeeper Liang appeared. He came alone, representing the others.
He requested to see Steward Song De.
That's right, they didn't dare to look for Li Yi to see the steward.
Song De rushed over and cupped his fists. "Shopkeeper Liang, why do you have to do this? We stopped selling Hundred Boiled Round Eggs a few days ago and only sold soy sauce. You didn't lose anything. "
"Steward Song, it's not about the eggs. We knew that Li Dongzhu was trying to save the people, so we felt sad and tried our best to help. "
Shopkeeper Liang said with a bitter face.
He had no other choice. He could not enter Pyong Kang Square at all. They were all businessmen.
Sometimes, he had to entertain others. Heavenly World was not difficult, but Pyong Kang Square was a big problem.
As a result, many customers were unwilling to come into contact with them.
There was also the Rice Flower Cake, which came from Heavenly World, but they were not sold to them. If others wanted to buy it and sell it to them, they would not sell it if they were found out.
Only soy sauce was still sold according to the rules.
The more they followed the rules, the more afraid they were.
So, after some discussion, they asked someone to entrust it to Zhangsun Xin, the brother-in-law of Empress Wang, who was from the Shangyi Bureau.
Then, they asked the 'great families' of Pyong Kang Square to help.
They took out a total of 12,000 coins.
They came over to apologize with money and favors.
"Shopkeeper Liang, you're too polite. Dongzhu and Zhuangzi are still somewhat wealthy. Take the things back." Song De refused.
So what if it's 10,000 coins? Do you think I've never seen money?
In order to deal with you, how many good poems did my Dongzhu come up with? Which one of them is not a famous work passed down through the ages?
For the past few days, my Master has not written a single poem.
Of course, Dongzhu usually does not write. Dongzhu is very busy.
Shopkeeper Liang was about to cry. He whispered, "It's not copper coins and silk. It's grain, live pigs, horses, cows, and sheep. They have been sent to the Ba River. What's more, it was the Shangyi Bureau's Zhangsun Xin who helped us. That Zhangsun Xin is the Empress's brother-in-law. "
"Shopkeeper Liang, please take a rest." When Song De heard that such a high person was involved, he did not dare to make the decision.
Leaving a sentence, he ran to the courtyard.
In the dining hall of the main courtyard, eight people were eating happily. The palace maids and eunuchs were at a separate table. Although they were eating, most of their energy was focused on the main table.
Song De came. He first cupped his fist to Li Longji and the other two, and then went to whisper to Li Yi.
"I know. Since he is the Empress's brother-in-law and won't live for long, I don't want to do anything to Shopkeeper Liang.
Let Zhangsun Xin live happily for a few days. If I had stopped him, he might not have died.
I don't have any relationship with him. I'll take the ten thousand liang, and the two thousand liang … I'll also take it. Give some to the ladies as gifts. In the future, I'll give it to them every month. Tell them to arrange for someone to collect it. "
Li Yi said to Song De. He did not whisper, so the others heard it.
"Yes, Dongzhu." Song De turned and left.
"What happened to Zhangsun Xin?" King Song looked at his third brother and sister-in-law and asked.
"Shopkeeper Liang and the others can't enter the Pyong Kang Square, and I don't want to let them handle the Rice Flower Cakes. Otherwise, if they think that I need to rely on them, they might cause trouble again.
In the end, they found the Empress's brother-in-law, Zhangsun Xin. This person won't live for long.
I'm not familiar with him. If I don't give him face today, he might get into an argument with me. Perhaps, he might be able to escape. "
Li Yi gave another person a prophecy.
"Uncle, will Zhangsun Xin die?" Empress Wang asked casually.
"I've severed my karma with him. If I don't help him, he will definitely die. He's too domineering." Li Yi said honestly.
"How can it be like this?" Empress Wang was worried. If uncle said that a person will die, how can that person live?
"Because Empress Wang is absent, the officials are complaining. His Majesty has to bear with it. In the end, not only did the Empress's relatives not fight for face, they even acted recklessly. How can His Majesty tolerate this?
The Wu Clan and Wei Clan have caused a lot of trouble. If His Majesty doesn't get rid of Zhangsun Xin, the Empress's relatives will rise. Yao Chong's side is not stabilized yet, and chaos will occur. "
Li Yi said as he dug out the roots.
Li Longji couldn't help but tremble. Li Chengqi looked at his third brother. So that's what you're thinking?
Empress Wang's expression was complicated. She reached out and touched her stomach. That was all her hope.
"Brother Yi, can you deal with the Empress's relatives? I can be considered as one. "Li Chengqi said at the crucial moment.
"It's simple," Li Yi answered.
"Simple?" The three of them asked together.
Li Longji wanted to hear it the most. He was already annoyed by the Empress's relatives.
He wanted to be the only one in charge of the Tang dynasty. He didn't want things to be like before. The Zhangsun Clan had done many things that they shouldn't do.
The Wu Clan and Wei Clan didn't need to be mentioned.
Why did Brother Yi say it was simple?
