Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 288 Finally Came to Beijin
In June of this year, Liu Yunxiang finally came to Jin'an, the capital of Beijing.

Since I left Yangui City in early spring, I went all the way north, crossing the desert, crossing the snow-capped mountains, going through the strict investigation of Beijin, and several times of distress, and finally arrived three months later.

Looking at Jin'an's city gate, Liu Yunxiang's heart trembled violently, wishing he could run up to Yan Mu right now and tell him: Look, I didn't abandon you.

People from Prince Ying's Mansion greeted him at the gate of the city, and Liu Yunxiang helped Princess Ying, whose stomach was already swollen, get out of the carriage.

"Zhixi, where is your home? I'll take you home."

Murong Zhixi glanced at the people in Prince Ying's Mansion, blushed, and said, "Yun Xiang, I actually lied to you."

"what?"

"My husband is the King of England, and I am the Queen of England."

Liu Yunxiang pretended to be surprised, then smiled again, "It's nothing, you really should be careful when you go out."

"Yunxiang." Murong Zhixi held Liu Yunxiang's hand, and said anxiously: "First, I really haven't made friends with you, but as we get along slowly, I really regard you as a friend!"

Liu Yunxiang held Murong Zhixi's hand instead, patted the back of her hand, and said softly: "Actually, I also have something to hide from you."

"Uh?"

"But I can't tell you yet, are we still friends?"

Murong Zhixi nodded hurriedly, "Of course!"

"I have set up a shop on East Street, called Nanhonglou. If you have anything to do, you can find me there."

"it is good!"

Nanhonglou is located on the most prosperous East Street in Jin'an, but the location is a bit to the west, which is not very good.She led the caravan to hear the small gate in the backyard of the South Red Building, and arranged for the staff to move the silk and satin in.

The shopkeeper's surname is Hu, which Zhang Qi assigned to her.

"Boss, our shop has been open for half a month, and the business has been bleak. I haven't sold any of the carload of silks and satins I brought first." Shopkeeper Hu said with a bitter face.

"Oh? Why?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

This East Street is full of people, although it is a little remote here, but it is not impossible to sell a piece of silk and satin.

Shopkeeper Hu asked Liu Yunxiang to come to the front street shop, pointing to the two houses on the opposite side, as well as the one nearby, "These three shops sell Beijin's silk and satin. They know that we are from Darong, and they jointly exclude us."

Liu Yunxiang saw a carriage parked on the side of the street, and a maid helped a gorgeously dressed woman get off from the carriage.The woman looked towards the South Red Building on this side, hesitated for a moment, and walked this way.

Shopkeeper Hu hurried up to greet her, and said with a smile: "Madam, our Nanhonglou is a newly opened shop, and we sell silks and satins brought in from Darong. Please give us your hands first to ensure your satisfaction."

"Da Rong's Jiangnan silk?"

"Exactly."

"Oh, that's very famous."

"Yes, we shipped it all the way."

The woman became interested and followed Shopkeeper Hu to this side.

However, at this time, the shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop next door ran out. Seeing this scene, he stepped forward directly: "Hey, Mrs. Li, I haven't seen you for a few days. It really is a happy event. Look at this complexion, it's really a happy event." Suddenly look 20 years younger."

Mrs. Li covered her mouth and smiled, "The original shopkeeper, are you kidding me?"

"Don't dare, your mansion has added a man, and I have prepared a small gift. It just so happens that you are here today, and it will save me a lot of effort."

"The original shopkeeper is polite."

"Our boss specifically asked, and said that Mrs. Li is our regular customer, so many years of friendship!"

Shopkeeper Hu was anxious when he heard these words, and hurriedly said: "Ma'am, the silk and satin of our South Red Building are brilliant..."

"Forget it, another day."

Mrs. Li waved her hand and followed the former shopkeeper to the silk and satin shop next door.

"It just so happens that we have a batch of new tricks coming in here, would you like to pick them out first?"

"That's a good feeling. I'm thinking about making autumn clothes for the children at home."

"It's not that I deliberately said bad things about people. This Nanhonglou, you see, the business is bleak. It only cares about selling gimmicks, but the things are not good."

"Really?"

"Darong man, how cunning."

Shopkeeper Hu sighed, and walked back to Liu Yunxiang, "Nuo, you see, it's all about robbing customers."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "There's no rush, we have good products, and we're not afraid that we won't be able to sell them."

"But here in Beijin, especially in Jin'an, the government's taxes are quite high."

Shopkeeper Hu made a gesture, "Every month will be charged, and there will be an additional [-]% for the shop opened by the people of Darong."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "So tall!"

"There are constant wars between Beijin and its neighbors, so the taxes of all industries are very heavy."

"Steady first, let's figure out a way together."

"By the way, in another half month, there will be Hundred Flowers Festival here. At that time, every household will put a pot of flowers in front of the door, and there will be more shops on this side of the East Street. It is said that the whole city will be full of flowers and colorful. And There is also a Baihua Street in Jin'an, which is actually the place where the Qinlou and Chu Pavilions gather. At that time, there will be a arena there, and the oirans will compete for beauty. All the men, women and children in the city will come to join in the fun. At this time, the silk and satin houses will be crowded Let those oirans wear their own silks and satins to show on the stage, if the bet is correct and the oiran wearing their own silks and satins wins the first place, then the business of the silk satin shop will not be worrying this year."

Liu Yunxiang nodded and said nothing.

At this time, the former shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop next door sent Mrs. Li out. He glanced this way, smiled triumphantly, and sent Mrs. Li to the opposite side.

"Go to the opposite side and have a look, see if you like it, I know their storekeepers well, it's cheaper to keep it for you."

"It doesn't matter if it's cheap or not, it's just that my rogue likes the ones with prettier colors."

"Yes, his house is not good. If you go to the next door to have a look, you will always catch your eye."

"it is good."

The original shopkeeper sent it over, and a female shopkeeper in her 30s came out from the opposite side, and warmly welcomed Mrs. Li into the shop.

Now Liu Yunxiang has realized what it means to be jointly excluded. Her South Red Building is in the middle, and she will be stopped no matter if she comes from the east or the west.

The purpose of these three houses is very unified, which is to make her Nanhonglou unable to sell anything, and to vomit blood due to loss, and then close the door automatically.

"He also said that our Darong people are cunning, and it's clear that they are arrogant from Beijin!" Shopkeeper Hu said angrily.

Liu Yunxiang never thought that doing business in Beijin would be smooth sailing, and this little setback was really nothing.

"By the way, shopkeeper Hu, did you find out what I asked you to inquire about?"

Back in the shop, Liu Yunxiang asked shopkeeper Hu.

Shopkeeper Hu sighed when he heard the words, "His Royal Highness Seventh is indeed in Jin'an."

Liu Yunxiang's heart skipped a beat, "Then is he okay?"

"No matter how good it is, how bad it is, I can only say that life is still alive."

"What do you mean?"

"You, just go to the crossroads ahead and wait at this point, and you will see people in a short time."

Liu Yunxiang didn't have time to ask other questions, and hurried outside.

When she reached the intersection, she looked around, expecting to see that person.

She traveled thousands of miles just to find him.
