Miss Fortune: Is the regent ready for today?

Chapter 12
As soon as Yin Luo and Yu Ruyi stepped out of the south room, they were intercepted by Nie Renxi.Yin Luo looked at Nie Renxi and wondered what his intentions were.

Unexpectedly, the young man in blue robe in front of him suddenly smiled at the two of them and said politely: "Please stay, our young master would like to meet you two."

Yin Luo frowned slightly, Young Master?She didn't know that there was this person in Tingxian Building.

The person in front of me is the young master of Tingxian Tower.Before she came to the capital, she had already sent out secret stakers to find out the details of the famous merchants of the aristocratic families in the city, and the information about Tingxian Building was also quite detailed.

This Tingxian Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Beijing. It was built by a merchant named Nie and has been in operation for a hundred years.The Nie family moved from Baizhou, Daliang a hundred years ago. I heard that their ancestors were in the restaurant business.Now the head of the Nie family is called Nie Fengchang. He has only one son, the young man in blue robe in front of him.Yin Luo knew that his name was Nie Renxi.

Nie Renxi felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Yin Luo frowning and looking at him but not moving. Although the girl was half a head shorter than him, when she raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were slightly squinted. Her scheming was completely revealed.It is not difficult to see that she is speculating on something, maybe it is about him... maybe it is about the young master.

Nie Renxi remembered that Nie Lu had suffered a loss at her hands that day, and for a moment he lowered his eyes with a guilty conscience.

At this moment, Yu Ruyi no longer looked relaxed in front of Yin Luo. He stared at Nie Renxi expressionlessly, trying to figure out what he wanted to do from his expression.

Nie Renxi was a little embarrassed to be stared at by the two of them. He coughed lightly, touched his nose, and explained: "That's it, our young master heard that the Yin family is developing very well in Jiangnan, and when they came to Beijing, the two Those eight chariots with golden tops are loaded with gold and silver, which is really a sight to behold. Our young master has long wanted to make friends with you two. Didn't we just wait for the opportunity today? I was a little abrupt just now, but there was no harm in it." He used This is the practice of Tai Chi among businessmen.

Yu Ruyi smiled at him when he heard what Nie Renxi said. He liked what Nie Renxi said just now, but unfortunately none of it was true. There was no big businessman named Yin in Jiangnan.But everyone had said so, and it was really unreasonable to deny face, so he turned to look at Yin Luo and said, "Sister, let's meet."

Yin Luo met his eyes and understood what he meant.She also knew in her heart that it was really necessary to meet the young master Nie Renxi mentioned. After all, before coming here, Yu Ruyi had been speculating on who the man behind Tingxianlou would be and why he sent the man in black. Someone sneaked into the Yin family late at night, what is the purpose of the person behind this, what does he want to get from the Yin family, etc...

Nowadays, it is rare for this person to take the initiative to invite them, and there is no need to refuse at all.

However, Yu Feng and Yan Yan are not with them at the moment, and Yu Ruyi cannot easily use force to fight because of the ancestral training. If she encounters danger, can she handle it alone?

Yin Luo met Nie Renxi's eyes again. His eyes were clear, and he didn't seem to be setting up a trap to wait for them to take the bait.

She smiled sharply at Nie Ren and said slowly: "Keep Mr. Nie waiting, our siblings rarely make friends outside, so we have to think about it, but since the person above mentioned it, we can't refute Ting Xianlou's suggestion. To save face," she nodded to him, "please ask Mr. Nie to lead the way."

Nie Renxi took a breath and put on a decent smile, "It should be, it should be." He took the lead and led the way, "You two, please follow me."

At this time, Mei Chengting also returned to the palace with the thousand-year-old snow mountain ginseng "robbed" from Tingxian Tower. He bypassed the residence of the concubines in the palace and went straight to the Sulong Hall where the emperor reviewed memorials and handled official business.

Emperor Chongwen had just returned from the court. Under the service of his maid, he took off his court clothes and put on his regular clothes. He turned to look at Mei Chengting, "Are you back?"

Mei Chengting did not salute like ordinary courtiers. He just raised his hand slightly, walked to Emperor Chongwen's side, and handed the box containing the thousand-year-old snow mountain ginseng red brocade to Emperor Chongwen.

Emperor Chongwen opened it casually and took a look. Inside was a pure white ginseng. Even the branches and leaves were still green. It looked like it had just been picked. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Thousand-year-old snow mountain ginseng? It's a good thing." "Then he handed it to Hong Yang who was standing by lightly, "Help me send it to the treasury later."

Hong Yang nodded and took it, indicating that he agreed.

Mei Chengting was not surprised when he saw this scene. What he said in Tingxianlou just now was half true and half false. The imperial concubine did suffer from heart disease, but it was an old disease that had been stabilized under the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor's office. But it doesn't count as a cure...and this snow mountain ginseng was originally asked by the emperor to get it.Emperor Chongwen walked to the golden jade table and sat down. He raised his chin and said, "Sit." He faced the seat next to him.

Mei Chengting sat down and heard Emperor Chongwen say: "Isn't my move a little unreasonable?"

"Does the Emperor care?" Mei Chengting asked back.

Emperor Chongwen laughed, as if he had known that Mei Chengting would ask this question, "I don't care." His smile gradually faded away, and his hand wearing a jade ring gently tapped the completed memorial on the table, "One A plant of immortal medicine, a thousand taels of gold, that's all there is to it." He turned to look at Mei Chengting, his eyes showing the decisiveness of a solemn emperor, "But this can't be photographed from Tingxian Tower."

Mei Chengting nodded in agreement, "Even if the Nie family has been in Shangjing for a hundred years, the emperor will still not let him earn these 1000 taels of gold."

Emperor Chongwen lowered his eyes, "The national treasury does not collect such a large amount every month." His voice was flat, but his tone was extremely cold, "If Tingxianlou gets these 1000 taels of gold, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as being the number one restaurant in Beijing. .”

"With 1000 taels of gold... combined with the original family wealth, the Nie family will become the richest man in Beijing." Mei Chengting stated.

Emperor Chongwen narrowed his eyes, "There are so many imperial merchants in Beijing, and I have always been checking and balancing." He paused, "I will never let the Nie family have a chance to break the situation." He regained his relaxed demeanor, "So in these thousand years Let the treasury keep the snow mountain ginseng on your behalf."

This is imperial power.

Mei Chengting smiled, as if he didn't care about his words, "But I heard that the second princess spent more than 200 taels of gold to obtain the second lot."

Emperor Chongwen snorted coldly, "I will break her legs sooner or later! It's the Min family in Cuizhou. They took her back to practice martial arts when she was a child, and they called it to strengthen her body? She became wild after practicing. ! Have you met any other friends in the world? What is their name? Meng Qingyue? "

Mei Chengting nodded again, "The owner of the first mountain villa in Jiangnan seems to be the top one in the martial arts world in Jiangnan." He was stunned and said with some hesitation: "Alan seems to be familiar with his master. The two new ones are here." The little guy originally lived in Baiqi Villa."

When he heard the name "A Lan", Emperor Chongwen sighed, with a hint of compromise, "That's all, since the second sister recognizes it and knows it well, let her be."

Mei Chengting lowered his eyebrows, agreeing with his words, "Then the second princess will give out the 200 taels of gold or not?"

Emperor Chongwen raised his eyebrows, "Am I such an unreasonable person? Since it's her own money, she can get it out as soon as she wants. Besides, these 200 taels of gold won't cause much trouble here in Shangjing."

He was thoughtful and asked Mei Chengting, "I heard that those two little guys once competed with Fang'er for this medicine cup?"

"They probably wanted to give it to Meng Qingyue. Later, that smart girl Yin Luo probably guessed it and gave it to the second princess."

Emperor Chongwen disagreed, "Let? The girl of the Yin family did this shrewdly. She could achieve her goal without spending money, and she also sold Fang'er a favor. I guess she and the descendants of Shangtianjian are waiting for a good show. Woolen cloth!"

Mei Chengting smiled, remembering that when he was young, he also liked going to the theater. Thinking of this, his smile disappeared. He lowered his eyes and asked again: "Your Majesty, the descendant of Tianjian once played in Bai Qi You know that a nineteen-story star-gazing golden tower was built on Changlin Cliff behind the villa, so why don’t you block it like you did with Tingxian Tower today?”
