Chapter 139 Five years later
Ran Shaotang remembered that the fire that night reflected half of the sky in the palace.
That was probably the most luxurious fireworks show at this banquet.
The fire cleared out thirteen corpses, including six royal guards patrolling here. The cause of death was burned to death.
Shaotang felt that it was either the royal family deliberately concealed the truth from the outside world or that the real cause of death was not found.
Later, she asked her father indirectly, and the answer she got was that those people were burned after being killed.
She asked someone to inquire about the news about the little yellow gate called Li Ren. A long time later, the other party replied that Li Ren had died in the fire.
Ran Shaotang felt a little disbelief after hearing this. Didn’t he leave with him? Why did he die there again?
I wonder if she would stay curiously without that note, she might find clues or be killed... After all, all the six guards were plotted against.
Ran Shaotang's memories after his coma began with a fire, and finally a fire.
When she woke up, it was already two days later.
Zong Zhengshen sent them back to the money house in Qianmen Town.
Cheng Yi sent her, Qin Xiaoyue, and Jiang Jin's bodies back to Jingshan.
Ran Shaotang insisted on burying Jiang Jin deep in his bamboo forest.
She really wanted to ask if the person who saved her that year was him?
Why did he pretend to not know him? Is it because the birthmark on his face was hidden?
Or maybe he has a secret and doesn't want her to know?
However, Shaotang remembered that although the person who handed him a note in the library glanced at him in a hurry, he should be like Jiang Jin.
She originally wanted to find another opportunity to find a clear idea with Jiang Jin after getting the Jiancheng Money House, but she never thought that before she could ask for advice, she had lost the opportunity to verify.
After this battle, Ran Shaotang knew that he was quite inferior to others in using poison and martial arts.
After she made a systematic plan for the money-making business, Man Hui was temporarily responsible for the money house in Qianmen Town, Ji Gang was responsible for the money house in Jiancheng, and Cheng Yi ran on both sides, and was responsible for the general.
Xie Yingren stayed in Qianmen Town to be responsible for the medicinal food workshop, and Sanqi assisted in managing the store from the side.
Uncle Six regularly develops pills and delivers them to the medicinal food workshop, giving them to guests who come to eat.
Later, because the efficacy of the pills was too magical, the ultimate goal of people coming to the Medicinal Food Flour became to seek medicine. Xie Yingren did not feel depressed. He said that this proved that our Medicine King Sect is well-known.
As for mining, since Ji Gang went to Jiancheng, Ye Qingfeng was responsible for staring at it. Anyway, the mine could not find a specific location for a while. I dug east and west, and time passed in a flash.
Time flies, and five years pass by in a blink of an eye.
This day is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival.
Now, under the control of several young disciples, the Medicine King Sect is already considered a rich man.
The two royal family members were still thinking about the supreme honor and wealth he had as a royal child when he was young. Therefore, this Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, despite the opposition of the crowd, insisted on hosting the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner in the royal standard.
The scope of attending the dinner was expanded to every household in Jingshan Village.
After Ji Gang left Jingshan to be responsible for the operation of Jiancheng's money house, Cheng Yi's second apprentice Ye Qingfeng was responsible for the overall affairs of Jingshan.
He received this sudden order half a month ago and really took some effort. He was still in a state of losing his hair until the Mid-Autumn Festival.
First, the venue selection has not been decided for a long time, and hesitated and repeated between Lingyun Palace and Tingyun Pavilion Square.
People who repeat the recurrence are mainly divided into two factions.
The school advocates such a solemn and grand banquet, which has not been seen in the century, must be held in Lingyun Hall to demonstrate the royal style. Although this royal family is an old thing, there is no honor at all.
This sect is dominated by two masters, namely Feng Liangjiang and Feng Qingsong, descendants of the royal family of the Northern Kingdom.
Another faction advocates that in Tingyun Pavilion Square, the sky is the dome, the earth is the mat, and the moon is the lights, which can accommodate everyone, and you can enjoy the moon by looking up.
This sect is mainly about Feng Rang. He advised the two masters to focus on the bodies of the elderly in the village, just to have a meal, and climbing those many steps will kill people.
In fact, his selfishness is that he doesn't want so many people to harm the newly decorated hall.
This time he spent a lot of money, but he had to cherish it.
Finally, Ye Qingfeng ran to Jinghu with great fanfare and asked Ran Shaotang, who had been addicted to medical skills.
Thinking of the steps of more than 3,000 levels, she was trying to overcome the antidote and felt her legs trembling for the old bones like Grandma Xu, and she didn't even raise her head and set her first banquet in Tingyun Pavilion Square.
Since the good emperor and grandson have made the decision, Feng Liangjiang and Feng Qingsong are no longer a doubt.
Ye Qingfeng then started to set up the banquet site, and set up the tables and lanterns. The food arrangements were all handled by Xie Yingren and Qin Maolin. Qin Xiaoyue and Sanqi, Qiuze and a group of young people in the village were responsible for setting up the tables and serving dishes.
The lights are on, and the bright moon is like a mirror.
The pavilion is as bright as daylight.
In the past, the empty square was filled with tables, and more than 500 people were cheering and drinking, with great momentum and great excitement.
Some children couldn't sit still and wanted to run to the ground to hold new lanterns to form a lantern team. However, the elders in the family were afraid to let the children go down and make trouble, so as not to be scolded for breaking the royal rules.
I had to take the mooncakes and coax them to sit down and listen to the royal affairs of the two masters talked about in the past.
Feng Rang called the attendant Lingzhi over and asked whispered: "Is Shaotang really not here?"
Ganoderma nodded affirmatively: "I went to Jinghu and asked. The young master said that she didn't like the fun and asked everyone to have a good holiday, so she wouldn't come."
Feng Rang felt unhappy after listening.
The mountains are bustling up and down, what's the point of being alone?
Deep in the bamboo forest, a tall boy wearing a lake-green robe and tying black hair slowly walked towards a tomb.
She was holding a bamboo basket in her hand and hung the lantern she carried in her other hand on the osmanthus tree next to the tomb.
Kneel down gently, took out the mooncakes and fruits contained in the bamboo basket one by one, and finally a jar of wine.
She pulled off the soil from the mouth of the jar, blew the floating soil again, lifted the lid, and poured it into the bowl.
She picked up the bowl and sprinkled the wine in front of the grave, and called out softly: "Senior Brother Jiang, tell you a secret. Today I secretly wore the women's clothing that my mother brought back. It was a gift from me and the hairpin. She and my father asked me to choose the future life. If I wear women's clothing, I will never go back to Gao Xi, and I will not be a member of the Ran family from now on, and I will live with a different name."
"I originally wanted to wear it for you, but I always felt that I was not used to it, so I changed back to men's clothing. Now, thinking about it, it's better to be a man. Brother Jiang, don't you blame me, right?"
"I was worried that you would blame me, so I brought my own osmanthus wine. You will definitely like it. Tonight is Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion, and I will have a drink with you."
