1307. Chapter 1307
"Yes, miss, just say what you want us to do, and we'll do our best. ”
Hong'er also said.
"Okay, then I'll say it. What you have to do, first of all, is to dig up talented people who are not afraid of death. It can be cold-blooded killers, treacherous businessmen who can make us take advantage of, and depressed scholars, as well as ordinary people who are struggling to make ends meet, and dare to do anything as long as they have food to eat.
"When you find these people, make a booklet and present them with a list, and I will be of great use in the future.
"But there's one thing, you have to be quiet, and you can't let all the people in Phoenix find out, you know? Especially the minions of the royal family and the court. ”
Oriental love is simply explained.
This was only the first step in her assembling a force.
For example, today's Qifen, Huang Kingdom, Qin Kingdom, Yun Kingdom, Dongsheng, Southern Xia, Xiling, Beichen, various forces are mixed.
Although the Phoenix Kingdom looks stable, it has already been tilted into various forces in the government and the opposition.
If she wants to win and achieve her goal, she must assemble the sharpest force. Otherwise, everything is in vain.
"Flowers. ”
Dongfang Lian took out 50,000 taels from his arms, "You can do this, you take these silver first, you must have silver to do things, if it is not enough, ask me again." ”
"Yes, miss. ”
Hua'er held the 50,000 taels in her hand, and Hua'er, who had never taken so much money, had a little trembling hands.
Hua'er held the 50,000 taels in her hand, and Hua'er, who had never taken so much money, had a little trembling hands.
But she felt that she was more useful, because she could finally repay Miss one or two and do things for Miss. Even if she lacks ability, she will definitely do a good job.
"One more thing. ”
Dongfang Lian looked at Hong'er, "You go to the brothel to lurk, do chores, and see how people run the brothel business...... Then, let's open one too. ”
The brothels have always been a source of information, "remember never to underestimate the women of the Qinglou, especially the popular Oiran, who are the objects of patronage of the imperial court, and they know far more things than we think." ”
Dongfang Lian also handed over 50,000 taels to Hong'er, "You observe while cooperating with Hua'er, so that the available men that Hua'er finds can approach those women to inquire about more information."
"But also be careful not to cause too much movement, because we don't have the strength to handle everything right now. ”
She has a few pounds and a few taels of Oriental Love, she is very clear, she has never been arrogant, thinking that she can manipulate everything.
But from now on, she will weave a net of heaven and earth, so that everything in the world cannot escape her control.
In the end, she will definitely be able to achieve the fate she wants to change at the expense of being reborn against the sky.
She wants to make herself glorious and stand at the top of the world, and no one can control her fate.
Dongfang Lian continued:
"When the time is ripe, Hong'er, you have learned from the experience again, and you will start to open a green building that belongs to our intelligence source, and it will become the largest and most coveted green building in this Phoenix country. Hong'er, are you confident that you can do this?"
To be such a young woman, Hong'er is not without worries when she mixes into that kind of fireworks land, but without training, she will never be able to grow.
As the girl beside her, she, the master, can love but cannot protect them all the time.
They must learn to grow on their own, learn to protect themselves, and even create their own little world, which is what she expects from them.
It is also her determination to share the glory with them.
"Miss, slave...... OK. When the slave was a child, she was abducted and sold by traffickers, and the traffickers saw that the slave and maid looked good, so they wanted to sell the slave and maid into the Qinglou and ask for a good price. The slave maid has been in the Qinglou for a while, although those are bad memories, but the slave maid must be able to do the things entrusted by the young lady. ”
Hong'er secretly made up her mind.
If she can't even do this, then how can she achieve her long-cherished wish to find her family who has been separated for ten years?
"Well, I believe you. You should leave the house tomorrow morning, and tomorrow everyone will go to the Hundred Flowers Festival, and no one will notice you. Also, Green. ”
Dongfang Lian looked at Lu'er, who was timid but careful, "You grew up in the mansion since you were a child, your father is a long-term worker, and your mother is the mother-in-law next to the second aunt, you know more about this mansion than the three of them, so I will leave the affairs of this mansion to you." ”
Dongfang Lian also gave Lu'er 50,000 taels of silver tickets, "You take this, use it well, you must know that sometimes people can do things for us by giving people benefits, you know this?"
"Yes, miss. ”
Lu'er understands the meaning of Dongfang Love.
"Yes, miss. ”
Lu'er understands the meaning of Dongfang Love.
"And your father, don't tell them in advance, but you can give your father and mother some hints and let them do things conveniently, and I promise that your father will have a smooth ride in this mansion and rise to the status of deputy housekeeper." ”
Dongfang Lian knew that in fact, Lu'er's family was humiliated by some people who stepped on the low and looked down on the high, and they must have suffered a lot.
"Yes, Miss, Lu'er understands perfectly. ”
Thinking that her family can live a good life in the future, Lu'er is full of yearning.
"Liu'er. You walk by my side. ”
Dongfang Lian said, "I know that this girl of yours knows a few words, so I will let you deal with the text and accounts in the future." You're good at carving, and you've had a few intermittent contacts with your dad over the years, right?"
"Miss......"
Liu Er was a little scared, the girls who were sold into the house had to cut off contact with their families, although Dongfang Lian had always been very lenient to them, but after all, she broke the rules.
"The slave's father, the bad gamble sold the slave and the maid into the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, the slave and the maid complained about him and hated him, but after all, he is the slave's father, and the slave and maid sometimes go out to buy and see him down, and he can't help but use his monthly money to help him, and ask the lady for forgiveness. ”
"I don't blame you, how can you break it off if you say it's flesh and blood?"
Even if she has a lot of ideas about Dongfang Fengyuan, she has experienced too much and sees human nature more thoroughly. She doesn't blame Liu'er.
"Although your father is a bad gambler, he is good at carving, I have heard you say this a few times. ”
"Yes, my father has some fame in the city, and many dignitaries and nobles have asked him to carve good jade. It's just that my father is too greedy and not satisfied with this manual fee, he always wants to get rich, and he always wants to gamble on stones to get rich overnight, so he ......"
"I see. ”
Dongfang Lian thought about it for a while, "You secretly take some jade materials, let your father carve some of them, and I will stay by my side to do personal communication." In addition, you also have to learn the craft of carving, and I want to open a jade shop in the future to increase my financial resources......"
The money of the rich and noble is easy to earn, just look at the income of Yumingju over the years, they have always been one of the top ten most profitable stores in this Phoenix City.
In the future, in order to open source and increase wealth, she will also get involved in this industry that specializes in making money from rich and noble.
But she had to have someone she trusted. Liu Er happens to be the best candidate.
"Yes, Liu'er understood. ”
Liu Er breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought Dongfang Lian was going to blame her, but it didn't, and gave her father a way to make a fortune.
"Now, everyone go and rest, and from tomorrow everyone will act according to the plan, and report back to me in time if there is something. Remember, be confidential. ”
"Yes, miss. ”
The four rings were gone.
……
The next day.
A Hundred Flowers Extravaganza.
Except for Liu'er who followed Dongfang Lian and went to participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival, Hua'er and Hong'er were busy with their affairs, while Lu'er stayed to keep an eye on everything in the house.
……
A Hundred Flowers Extravaganza.
On the pretext of saving money, Murong only used two carriages to attend the event.
Murong Yi sat in a luxurious carriage with Dongfang Hua, and everything in the car was very comfortable.
And Dongfang Lian, Dongfang Shu, and Dongfang Qing were crowded together in an ordinary carriage.
A few girls walked and followed the side of the carriage.
Murong Yi didn't feel embarrassed to do this, because her move had also earned her a reputation for thrift in Phoenix City, and she was also set an example by the queen, saying that noble ladies should learn from Murong Yi's savings.

Inside the carriage.
Dongfang Lian closed his eyes and recuperated, thinking back to what had happened in the Hundred Flowers Festival in his previous life.
In the previous life, the Hundred Flowers Festival, almost all the young ladies and sons of officials above the second grade participated, except for some who could not get out of their bodies due to busy business.
And the fifth prince Long Qimu, the sixth prince Long Qihao, and the seventh prince Long Qijin were not absent from the Hundred Flowers Festival.
On the women's side, there are Princess An Le, the county lord Long Zhaoran, and the nobles of various prefectures, such as Ouyang Xiang, the daughter of the Taiwei Mansion, Murong Luozi, the granddaughter of the Zhenguo Mansion, and Yuwen Hailan, the granddaughter of the Fuguo Mansion......
……
"Sixth sister. ”
In the carriage, Dongfang Shu, who had been snorting, suddenly said, "Sixth sister is dressed up beautifully today." ”
"Thank you. ”
Dongfang Lian finally took a look at Dongfang Shu, her seventh sister, the seventh lady of Zuo Xiangfu's concubine.
Dongfang Shuzi is good-looking, fair-skinned, and she is even more energetic today.
A purple dress lined her very movingly, a white jade hairpin that she got from an oriental painting yesterday was inserted diagonally in her hair, and a few beaded flowers that matched the hairstyle just right......
I have to say that Dongfang Shu is a woman who is good at dressing up, even if the things on her body are not too expensive, she cleans herself up brilliantly.
From the memory of his previous life, Dongfang Lian didn't know what happened to Dongfang Shu. It seems that until Long Qijin ascended the throne, this seventh lady became an old aunt and was not married yet?
What is the reason for this?
"Maybe there are some things that my sister shouldn't say, but my sister is curious why the sixth sister is a little different from before?"
Dongfang Shu showed a very curious look.
"Where the heart goes. ”
Dongfang Lian smiled slightly, "What else does Seventh Sister want to know?"
"Uh...... Nope. ”
Dongfang Shu was a little embarrassed.
She knew that Dongfang Lian didn't want to say more, but yesterday the two of them asked for more benefits because of Dongfang Lian, otherwise how could the eldest lady and Dongfang Hua give them better white jade hairpins and jade?
"My sister just wants to say that if the sixth sister has a place to find her sister in the future, she must tell her sister, and her sister will help her sister as long as she can. ”
This is a sign of faithfulness.
"Really?"
After Dongfang Shu's show of loyalty, although Dongfang Lian thinks it is a bad thing, it remains to be seen whether this Dongfang Shu is reliable or not.
Compared with Dongfang Shu's overtures, Eighth Miss Dongfang Qing didn't say a word, but just sat firmly in the carriage.
And Dongfang Lian stopped talking.
……
Soon, the carriage gradually drove into the palace, and since it was impossible to drive in the palace, everyone got out of the car.
Stepping into this palace, Dongfang Love is very familiar.
The events of the past life appeared in Dongfang Lian's mind one after another, so clear and vivid, and some things were as vivid as if they had happened yesterday. Those are terrifying every step, every inch is terrifying......
Whether it is the former dynasty or the harem, it is a place where it is hidden, buried, and torn apart. The men's world is facing each other, while the women's world is intrigued.
The gangs in the harem and the court are formed, and the camps of each station are different. They're better at superficiality, and you don't even know who's a friend and who's an enemy.
The gangs in the harem and the court are formed, and the camps of each station are different. They're better at superficiality, and you don't even know who's a friend and who's an enemy. I think I have a deep friendship with her, but she will stab you at any time, and you can't even have a chance to be prepared. Sometimes they are enemies, but they will use each other at the right time to pull each other along.
This is the harem, and this is the intricate interpersonal and power relations.
The harem is closely related to the previous dynasty, for example, it is the emperor's idea to see the crown prince alone, but in fact, this matter is closely related to the growth and decline of the power of the harem.
Several important concubines in the harem, they rely on their mother's family, and their mother's family is precisely the six most powerful families in the court.
Every move of the six major families can affect many decisions of the emperor, and even who to appoint as the crown prince.
In her previous life, after she became the seventh princess, in order to have a good relationship with the ladies in the palace, she went in and out of this palace countless times, and she also knew a lot about the temperament of the ladies and sisters, and even some palace secrets that others did not know......
She helped Long Qijin's mother, Concubine An, to sit on the throne of the concubine. Second only to the Queen.
And the queen has no children, and when Concubine An is powerful, she has no choice but to make her maiden family, Taiwei Mansion, and the Ouyang family abandon other ideas and support Long Qijin instead.
Among the new generation of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Xiu is the key ......
Ouyang Xiu......
Thinking of the man who led his troops to break into the palace in order to save himself, was beheaded at the noon gate, and did not even have a place to be buried, Dongfang Lian's heart ached beyond measure.
……
The Hundred Flowers Festival was held in the Imperial Garden of the Imperial Palace.
Now is the best time of the year.
Flowers are in full bloom, in a variety of forms, so it takes the name of "Hundred Flowers Event", which is very suitable for the occasion.
Your ladies and gentlemen have already arrived with their own young ladies and sons.
Since it was presided over by the queen herself, no one dared to slack off. The current queen now has no children under her knees, but this does not affect the status of Queen Ouyang Jing at all.
Most of the land of the Phoenix Kingdom today was laid down by her three princes with their lives and blood. She is a well-deserved hero of the Phoenix Kingdom, and even Emperor Long Hong respects her very much.
Over the years, no matter how many concubines the emperor has or how many new beautiful women he has entered, he will go to the queen's palace on the fifteenth day of the new year to announce the queen's stable status to everyone.
……
There are many stone tables and stone chairs in the Imperial Garden, all of which were built by the best carvers in the world.
As soon as these noble ladies and ladies entered the garden, they each found the people they often interacted with, and sat down around the stone table in groups of three or five, contacting their feelings at the same time, and inquiring about what is worth noting in each house.
These women are dressed in noble clothes, or coquettish, or beautiful, and their heads are full of pearls and silk. The body is sprayed with incense powder, and the whole body is fragrant.
In her previous life, Dongfang Lian dealt with these women every day, and some of them knew their personalities very well.
Her eyes searched for something, until she finally found the reassuring figure......
Ouyang Xiu!
He wears a good Su Jin, his body is straight, indescribably ethereal, his temperament is elegant, handsome, his posture is like jade, and his facial features are flawless, so that people can't find the slightest shortcoming.
Unlike many men who like to tie their hair up high and hold it in a crown, he doesn't tie his hair. With only a silver headband, tie one of your long hair loosely.
Unlike many men who like to tie their hair up high and hold it in a crown, he doesn't tie his hair. With only a silver headband, tie one of your long hair loosely.
The wind blew, and the black hair flew, sometimes covering half of his handsome face, making it impossible to see the whole picture...... But it's even more itchy, and I feel that the temptation is boundless.
