Chapter Ninety-Seven: Female Officer
"I've been waiting for you for a few days, but I'm here. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Dongfang Xu couldn't help but stand up when he saw Ruan Jingxin gradually approaching.
Ruan Jingxin stopped, looked sideways at Dongfang Xu, and said seriously, "I've never seen you wearing green clothes." ”
"I don't really like this color, but that doesn't mean I don't look good in it. Dongfang Xu stroked his cuffs and raised a smile, "What's the matter?"
Ruan Jingxin didn't react for a while, "It's very good-looking." ”
Dongfang Xu narrowed his phoenix eyes happily, "Come in and sit down, I have prepared your favorite snacks." ”
Ruan Jingxin nodded, "You can still enjoy the autumn scenery in the pavilion at this time, and you won't be able to sit still in a while!"
"What are you afraid of, when it is winter, I will let people transform this place into a warm pavilion, and we can enjoy the snow around the fireplace. Dongfang Xu suddenly felt very excited, "Then I'll transplant a few plums around." ”
Ruan Jingxin was also very happy, "So very good! So very good!"
Dongfang Xu looked at the happy look of the person in front of him, and suddenly asked, "Are you so happy to enjoy the red leaves that day?"
Ruan Jingxin glanced at him, "The red maple is still good." ”
"You girl!" Dongfang Xu shook his head helplessly, "I heard that there is not a single maid in the Lingnan King's territorial mansion except for the cook and the servant. What did he tell you?"
"Speaking of which...... I do have something to ask you. Ruan Jingxin frowned, "Do you know what Princess Lingnan looks like, is it very similar to Duan Shizi?"
"It's true. Dongfang Xu nodded, "I once saw a portrait of the princess by chance." ”
"Is that similar to me?" Ruan Jingxin was even more puzzled when she got the answer. Since they are two people who are completely different, why did the King of Lingnan call out the princess's name when he saw her?
Dongfang Xu sat up straight, stared at Ruan Jingxin and asked, "What happened?" He wants to see you, I can guess a thing or two." How can a person like him be at the mercy of others? If you do such a game, it is tantamount to calculating him, and he will definitely give you some color to see. But now, it seems, he didn't make any moves. ”
Ruan Jingxin was also prepared in this way at that time. She had thought of a lot of ways to deal with it, but it didn't work," she said...... The princess kept staring at me and called out the princess's name. ”
"Smack!" The tea cup in Dongfang Xu's hand was directly crushed. He threw it away casually, "Are you sure it's the princess's maiden name?"
"Yes, I've checked that. "Although the power in Ruan Jingxin's hands now is not as large as that of the previous life, she already has some means and methods. "I'm also curious, what caused the prince to remember the princess?"
Dongfang Xu frowned, "No matter what the reason is, now it seems that the previous things are in the past." Although he belongs to the prince's camp, the king of Lingnan is not something that anyone can command, and he has just reached some tacit understanding with the prince and the forces behind the prince. You're going to keep a low profile lately and don't get too much notice of you. ”
Ruan Jingxin nodded, "I understand, don't worry." I'm the least showy person. "Making a fortune in silence is what she wants to do.
As if seeing Ruan Jingxin's thoughts, Dongfang Xu smiled and let people hold the account book, "Take a look at this month's profit." There is not much business on the ice factory side, the heat has completely disappeared, and our business is probably going to stop. ”
"Let's rest!" Ruan Jingxin nodded, "In a few days, I will have people come over to teach a craft, so that the workers have nothing to practice." If you have done well, you will be extra cultivated. When we enter the wax moon, there is a time for us to make money. ”
"Layue?make money with ice?" Dongfang Xu was a little puzzled, "Wasn't ice available everywhere at that time?"
Ruan Jingxin blinked, "Sell it first! I'm going to make a lot of money with it! You just wait patiently! But I haven't chosen a place yet, do you have another courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing?"
Dongfang Xu thought for a moment and said, "There are two other courtyards, I will take you to see them when the time comes, and you can use them if necessary." ”
"Just waiting for your words!" Ruan Jingxin smiled and bent her eyes, she was about to say something, but she heard Dongfang Xu speak.
He said, "I forgot to tell you that Luo Huaiyu is about to return to Beijing, and this drought has been a great contribution to your deep well waterwheel and advice." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to ask for credit for you. ”
"How is he going to invite?" Ruan Jingxin was not taboo at all. This incident greatly boosted the reputation of the crown prince's love for the government and the opposition! Even some of his subordinates tasted the sweetness. For example, Luo Huaiyu!
In fact, the preliminary work has been completed, and the later stage only needs to ensure orderly operation. I'm afraid this merit will give him a chance to rise two or three levels in a row!
"The prince means to give grace to your father or brother. Dongfang Xu saw that Ruan Jingxin's expression did not fluctuate at all, and laughed again, "But your father's current position is just right, and Gao Sheng will return to the capital, so it will not be possible to complete His Majesty's arrangement." Your brother......"
"I'm afraid my brother refused, right?" Ruan Jingxin's words seemed to be a question, but in fact they were affirmative. Ruan Chenyuan knew very well that such a good thing would definitely be pushed on her.
Dongfang Xu nodded, "That's right, he said that it is okay for a good man to make contributions to his mother and sister, but he can't do it with his sister's light." Let the prince reward you directly. ”
"The prince won't ask me to be a county lord, right?" Ruan Jingxin joked. In the Dayan Dynasty, the most worthless thing is the woman's reward. The county lord's status is only equivalent to the seventh-rank official, the county lord is almost the fifth-grade official, and although the princess is equivalent to the second-rank princess, she has no fiefdom and only a name. So such a title is really of little use to her.
"Know you won't like it. Dongfang Xu shook his head, "So I suggest that you be named a female official." ”
"Female official!" Ruan Jingxin was very surprised, "There has only been one female official during his reign!" "Situ Xun! I amazed the talented girl of the Dayan Dynasty back then, and I named her so that she could enter the Hanlin Academy to edit books.
"Your Majesty wants to be a female official, I'm afraid there will be a lot of objections. But no one will question that His Royal Highness the Prince's East Palace wants to be a female official. "Female officials in the Dayan Dynasty are not the meaning of high-ranking palace maids, but women with a certain strength who really hold the same authority as men!
There are only three or five in the history of the Dayan Dynasty. Ruan Jingxin's contribution is really a little worse, so it can't be rewarded by the emperor, but appointed by the crown prince. Although nominally a little weaker, the rank and power are there, and the future achievements are also predictable.
