1174: Tan Guifei's grievances
The Flower Dynasty Festival is a festival to worship the god of flowers, which has been continued for thousands of years, and has the implication of asking for children, and it is also a good day for men and women who have set up family affairs.
In short, the Flower Dynasty Festival is an auspicious day for all things, and the annual Flower Dynasty Festival is a major event in the capital.
In previous years, the Flower Dynasty Festival was mostly held in several famous gardens in Shangjing, after all, the Flower Dynasty Festival was to enjoy the flowers, and the most important thing in the garden was the flowers, and all kinds of flowers competed for beauty.
But this year is different, because the Fu family and the five major merchants in Beijing have decorated a whole flower street with various flowers and bonsai.
The whole flower street runs through the entire Shangjing City from east to west, from the most remote workshop in the western suburbs to the moat bank in the east of the city, the whole Shangjing City is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and such a generous gesture makes the people of the whole city excited.
You don't need money to enjoy the flowers!
In the past, if you want to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers, if you don't have an invitation, you have to spend money to buy an invitation to enter.
Ordinary people are willing to spend such money to enjoy the flowers, so they can only go to the suburbs outside the city to see the wildflowers.
But this year, this whole flower street is rewarded without money, strange flowers compete with each other, as long as you don't deliberately destroy, don't buy home, you don't need a copper plate to see hundreds of flowers that are blooming beautifully.
Many of them are not in season, and it is said that the major merchants have specially moved out of the greenhouse for everyone to enjoy.
In the past, rare flowers like this were sold to dignitaries, how could ordinary people have such a good opportunity to take a look, but now they can see it!
Where can you find such a good thing?
Not to mention that ordinary people are excited, and they are talking about the good relationship between the Fu family and several other merchants, even the officials of the DPRK and China are also a little puzzled.
This is obviously a money-losing business, why did Fu Yuanling take the lead in doing this kind of thing?
Just to make a good name?
But how much money does this good reputation cost?
It's not those non-seasonal flowers, it's the seasonal flowers that are placed on such a long street, a rough estimate, if you look at the estimate, it will cost more than 100,000 silver.
Counting the flowers that moved out of the greenhouse, this is not a matter of doubling, Fu Yuanling is not stupid to lose money to do this kind of thing, right?
Others can't guess the mystery here, even Princess Changle can't guess it, and she discussed this matter with Tan Guifei in Yufu Palace for a long time and didn't come up with a reason.
"No matter what, Fu Yuanling will never do a loss-making business, there must be something here that we can't figure out." Tan Guifei snorted coldly, "That little fox is shrewd, I've known her for so long, and I haven't seen her lose money!" ”
Tan Guifei felt panicked when she said this, it would be nothing good to meet Fu Yuanling, and her face was as black as the bottom of the pot.
Princess Changle frowned slightly when she saw her mother like this, put down the tea cup in her hand, and said softly: "Mother, you can't do things by temperament like this, now that my father values her so much, even if you pretend to be a little harmonious." ”
Tan Guifei looked at her daughter in astonishment, "What do you mean?" Do you want your mother to bow down to that little vixen? ”
"It's not a bow, it's a roundabout." Princess Changle sighed, "My daughter has been back for so long, my father's attention to Fu Yuanling is really shocking, don't you want to think about it, the east and west streets that run through Shangjing, just take it out for Fu Yuanling and them to make a flower street, who dares to do this?" ”
The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is in charge of these trivial matters in the capital, but the younger brother has nothing to do with this matter at all!
Tan Guifei didn't have such a brain to think about these things in court and politics, and when she heard her daughter say this, she was stunned before she spoke, "You mean this is what your father meant?" ”
Princess Changle nodded, "Father is not a person who agrees to what others ask, Fu Yuanling opens his mouth and wants to make a flower street on East and West Streets, and his father will agree out of thin air?" ”
Although Concubine Tan Guifei doesn't understand court politics, she can at least figure out a little bit of the emperor's thoughts, otherwise she won't be able to be as stable as a mountain in the position of the harem concubine.
She doesn't have great intelligence, but she has the wit of a little woman.
"She must have persuaded your father with something!" Tan Guifei gritted her teeth, why does this fox spirit have so many tricks!
"That's inevitable, it's just that we don't know what Fu Yuanling did to make his father nod." Princess Changle has never encountered such a tricky character from birth to marriage to her in-laws.
In the harem, the queen mother is the heaven of the harem, even if she was born to Tan Guifei, she can please the queen mother, no matter what she thinks in her heart, at least the queen mother treats her closely, which is enough.
When she got married, she chose the concubine, and she also took great pains to choose the Lu family, and after marrying into the Lu family, she was able to gain a firm foothold in just a few years and gave birth to a son and a daughter, which can be regarded as smooth sailing.
But now she can't figure out Fu Yuanling, she has been back for so long, and she has dealt with Fu Yuanling a lot, but she has never been able to understand her mind and see her person clearly.
And now, she has made a flower street under her nose, and she has no idea how to do it.
It's a terrible feeling.
Looking at the mother's mother's gloomy face, Princess Changle said directly: "Mother, now the situation is stronger than people, since the front can't overpower Fu Yuanling, then don't be thankless, and now look at the meaning of the father, we don't get along with Fu Yuanling, there is no benefit to the third brother." ”
"And what do you mean?" Tan Guifei knows that her daughter is smart, and she is willing to listen to her in many things, although she is not very happy, but she is also willing to endure for the sake of her son.
"My father attaches great importance to the workshop in the western suburbs, and now Princess Jin'an has pulled several other princes in, in such a situation, of course we can't be excluded, if everyone else is surrounded by Xiao Jiuqi and his wife, in the end, it is not cheaper for the fourth brother." Princess Changle said in a deep voice, "So in this situation, you can't be discordant with Xiao Jiuqi and his wife, and you can't let your father be dissatisfied with you because of this." ”
Tan Guifei: ......
is arrogant for a lifetime, and you have to bow your head when you are coming!
This is undoubtedly a great blow to Tan Guifei.
Princess Changle looked at her mother like this, and couldn't help but feel a little concerned, and said softly: "Bear with it for a while, you just need to think about waiting for the third brother in the future...... What else can't be endured. ”
Tan Guifei's eyes were a little red, she had never suffered such a grievance since she entered the palace to accept her favor, "I know, I will endure it." ”
All for the sake of the son!
Princess Changle breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then do you want to go out of the palace today to see the flower street, and my daughter will accompany you." Perhaps, we can also invite my father to go with me, and then you can go shopping with your father in the flower street, which is also a good thing. ”
Tan Guifei's eyes lit up, "Go, why don't you go, let's go see your father first!" ”
