Chapter 506: New Favorite
In the past, the Great Zhou was also a nomadic people, but after hundreds of years of development, thinking of Dajing to learn and integrate the culture of Dajing into it, they have already broken away from a single nomadic state, while most of the Meng people are still living a life of drinking blood.
It's a bit ridiculous, on the one hand, I envy the wealth of others, and on the other hand, I look down on other people's lifestyles.
Princess Xiangshan didn't know when her state of mind began, there was such a change, she was in favor of the idea of the clansmen before, the Dajing man was cowardly and incompetent, I am sorry for that large piece of rich land, it should be given to the strong.
But now she feels that instead of relying on plundering others to become stronger, it is better to work hard, before the Meng clan and the Great Zhou trade, it is a win-win deal, with their own excess things in exchange for what they don't have, kill two birds with one stone, and no one will be hurt by this, but some people are too greedy, whether it is the Meng clan or the Great Zhou, there are some black sheep, and they have stirred up the mutually beneficial business, which has made the people of the Great Zhou boiling and the relationship between the two countries is tense.
She wanted to change that, but she didn't know where to start, or even who to talk to.
"Princess......" Su Yiqing's eyes darkened, and she sighed faintly, "You can understand my original thoughts now, right? It's not indifferent, but we are weak daughters, and we are trapped in this deep house, the current situation is not caused by one or two people, the general trend is the general trend, it is difficult for one or two people to change anything, instead of moths to the fire, it is better to calm down, see what you can do, do your best, don't be too demanding, of course, the most important thing is to see for yourself, many times." I can't see it myself, anxiety is inevitable, but I keep reminding myself that the more anxious I am, the less I should do anything, and most of the decisions I make if I can't stay calm are wrong. ”
"How does the princess remind herself all the time?" Princess Xiangshan felt that Su Yiqing's words were very reasonable, so she asked for some tips.
Su Yiqing stroked the ring that others couldn't see at all, remembered the origin of the ring, and said, "If you're afraid that you'll forget, you can create a special piece of jewelry, preferably a bracelet." Bracelets and the like can be easily seen. Every time you see it, you can remind yourself. ”
"That's right!" Princess Xiangshan thought that it was indeed very reasonable, and went back to make a new bracelet.
While chatting, the little maid from Dingwang's Mansion came to report that the fourth wife of Quan was visiting.
Princess Xiangshan thought that she had been disturbed for a while. This must be a guest for the princess. Maybe they have something important to talk about. Don't bother, get up and say goodbye.
Su Yiqing kept it according to etiquette, and Princess Xiangshan said that there were still a bunch of things to deal with in the house. It was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so she was not reluctant, and personally sent Princess Xiangshan to the second gate.
After that, I came back, changed my clothes again, combed my hair again, and then went to the flower hall to see Mrs. Quan, speaking of which, this is a trouble for being a lady, every time I see a guest, I have to change my clothes again, even if the two guests are only half an hour apart, when there are many people, I am so hurried that I don't even have to drink saliva.
Mrs. Quan Si is not a person who comes to the door to chat without anything, although she often came to the door before, but she first got the hint of the maid of the Dingwang Mansion, and then she came to talk to the princess and pass on the news outside.
This time she came to the door without getting a hint, she was in a hurry, and got a news that was not very definite, but she felt the need to tell Princess Ding.
After meeting, Mrs. Quan Si didn't have a brain to say it, she is also a good person, she has to test the princess's current mood first, otherwise as soon as the bad news comes out, the princess will be angry, and she will inevitably suffer from the disaster of the pond fish, which will outweigh the losses.
If it weren't for Mrs. Meng's happiness today, because the matter of the Chu family could be solved smoothly, she would have stayed in the temple for a few days, and returned the Buddha to God, she had no one to discuss, and the matter was in a hurry, so she could only come and inform Princess Ding first.
Su Yiqing is also a person who is good at observing words and feelings, and looking at Mrs. Quan's expression, she knows that she must have something to say, instead of talking about some meaningless topics.
Therefore, after talking for a while, he took the initiative to ask: "Fourth aunt, is there anything wrong?" ”
Seeing through her thoughts, Mrs. Quan Si was a little embarrassed, and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that a merchant came to the house recently, and there was a news...... I'm not sure if it's true news, so I don't know if I should tell the princess, this may be fake news, disturbing the princess's state of mind, but it's my big sin. ”
Su Yiqing smiled slightly: "Fourth aunt, but it doesn't matter, since I married into this Dingwang Mansion, I haven't gone through any major or small things, if a piece of news can disturb my state of mind, I would be annoyed to death now." ”
"Yes, the princess's heart is naturally not comparable to ordinary people. Mrs. Quan Si didn't forget to flatter before talking about the main point, and then looked around before she lowered her voice and said, "I heard that merchant say that Lord Ding accepted a beautiful woman on the other side of the border......
Su Yiqing's eyes moved slightly, and soon returned to normal, and she only said: "This is not an uncommon thing, the prince is over there, and he always needs someone to take care of him." ”
The high-ranking soldiers guarding the border passes, some of them rarely go home once in a few years, and their wives and children can't follow them, they will accept one or two beautiful women as concubines, which is extremely normal.
Even Yufeng's reputation outside, there is really no one around over there, so it's strange.
Mrs. Quan Si hesitated for a moment before she said, "Yes, most of these men are like this, but I heard that this woman is not ordinary." ”
"What the prince likes is naturally not an ordinary vulgar fan. Su Yiqing was a little careless again.
Mrs. Quan Si gritted her teeth and said the point, "I heard...... The woman was ...... Looks very similar to the previous princess Ding, that is, the lord of Dajing......"
Su Yiqing frowned slightly, and quickly returned to normal, just silent.
"Princess, are you okay, Princess?" Mrs. Quan said worriedly, "Look at my mouth, this news is not confirmed at all, I really shouldn't talk nonsense in front of the princess." ”
"It's okay, the fourth aunt doesn't have to care. I also have to thank Aunt Fourth for telling me the news. Su Yiqing smiled slightly, "Don't say it's just a rumor, even if it's true, it's nothing, it's just a woman who looks alike." ”
"Yes, yes, it's me making a fuss, didn't Ning Ya'er at the beginning also say that she looks like Princess Ning......" Mrs. Quan Si said, and wanted to slap herself in the mouth, which was really wrong. Ning Ya'er's matter is not something to be happy about. At the beginning, it was also a disturbance that the people of the palace turned their backs on their horses, if it weren't for the princess's sudden pregnancy, she would have the upper hand and completely bring the prince's heart over. The outcome is still unknown. It's not good to mention anything. I want to mention this, really.
"I'm really grateful to Aunt Four. Su Yiqing said sincerely, "Thank you for telling me the news." True or not, I don't want this to be the last to know when the full name spreads. ”
In this way, Mrs. Quan Si was relieved, she was worried about this, so she came to inform her as soon as possible, this kind of thing will definitely not be told to the princess by the people of the palace, but it is really spread all over the city, and naturally there will be good things to tell the princess, and the princess is afraid that she will blame her family for not telling her sooner, and she has always been sensitive to these gossip, and the princess will blame her for the first time.
After saying the news, Mrs. Quan Si didn't dare to stay for a long time, so she found an excuse and left.
After Mrs. Quan Si left, Su Yiqing sat in the flower hall for a while before returning to the room to rest.
This news made her feel a little surprised, not an accident What kind of thoughts even Yufeng would have, if she said that there was any other beauty of the country, as a woman, she might be a little more careful, but a woman who looked like her before, she had nothing to worry about, or in other words, even if she was worried, it was not that she was worried about what kind of relationship even Yufeng would have with that woman, but she was worried that she didn't know what this person was thinking?
Make a person who looks exactly like her before, she doesn't believe it a little, if you really want to do this, wouldn't you be asking for trouble? But before she was a noble girl, not to mention that the door is not out of the second door, but there are very few people who have seen it, there is no camera in ancient times, can clearly take pictures of people's appearance, after all these years, even if a familiar person stands in front of her, I am afraid that I dare not think that this is her.
And now, even a businessman knows that this woman looks like her, obviously someone deliberately spread the news, maybe there are one or two points of resemblance, not even one or two points, but it is similar to the description of her in the mouth of Dajing who has seen her, or it is the image of Dajing's traditional noblewoman.
"Princess......" Green vine didn't know when to come in, disturbing Su Yiqing's contemplation.
Su Yiqing said lightly: "What's the matter?"
Green vine bowed his head and replied, "The slave heard a message outside, and I don't know whether to tell the princess or not." ”
With such an opening sentence again, Su Yiqing said a little impatiently: "You have said everything, what are you asking? Is it possible that you still want to say that half of it is hidden and half of it is impossible for me to guess? Or is it not good news, I have to forgive you for your innocence before you can say it?"
"No, no, the slave doesn't dare to think like this?" The green vine showed a look of panic on his face, but this look of panic was serious in Su Yiqing, and it was also pretended.
Su Yiqing only looked at her quietly and didn't speak.
Only then did Lu Teng say: "Actually, it's not a big deal, so the slave and maid hesitated whether to tell the princess...... It's about Young Master Guang. ”
Young Master Guang, Su Yiqing was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted, she was talking about Mrs. Meng's eldest son, Meng Guang, her previous thoughts were on Lian Yufeng and the woman who was said to look like her, thinking that Lu Teng was talking about this matter, but she didn't expect her to mention something else.
"Go on. Su Yiqing thought about the Meng family's affairs, and she couldn't completely stay out of it.
Green vine said: "The slave maid got the news, Young Master Guang and a girl in the Bibo Building...... It's good. ”
Bibo Building, a girl, Su Yiqing suddenly thought that this Bibo Building must be a green building, a young man with strong blood and strength, and he is in the military camp all the year round, once he has the opportunity, it is difficult to withstand the temptation, and it is not strange that something happens.
Dingwangfu is good at collecting intelligence, and he must have many eyes and ears in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, and it is unusual to know these things.
"What kind of girl is that?" asked Su Yiqing casually.
Green vine replied: "It's the new Oiran in the Bibo Building, surnamed Shui, called Shui Zhongyue, she doesn't sell her body, she was entangled by bullies that day, Young Master Guang happened to pass by, so she rescued her, and the water girl was grateful, so she ......."
It's really a cheesy drama, can it be a little new? Su Yiqing was quite upset, so she asked, "Have you found out who is behind it?"
Green vine shook his head: "No, it is precisely because of this that the slave maid felt troubled, so she reported to the princess." ”
If someone is behind the scenes, then it is easier to do it, and some means are used to punish the mastermind behind them, and they do not dare to do anything.
But it was completely unexpected, if there was no one to make a move, it would be difficult to make a move, so as not to make any mistakes and end up thankless.
Su Yiqing thought for a moment, and then asked: "If there is no one to take charge, how can this Meng Guang get close to this Oiran? Aren't all people in the Qinglou who recognize money and not people? Meng Guang is in the military camp all the year round, and there is no expenditure at all, and the Mongolian Mansion is not like the mansion where he spoils his son, and he sends a large amount of money for his son to spend, how can he afford to spend this money?"
Qinlou Chu Pavilion has always been a place where rich and noble families spend all day and wine, and people who go there can do without anything, but they must have money, without money, no matter how prominent your identity is, there is no reason to eat and drink in vain.
Green vine said: "The princess doesn't know, this Bibo Building is different from other Qinglou, the girls here are all self-explanatory, and the contract signed with the building is also different from other places, as long as part of the money earned is given to the building, these girls can do whatever they like, and the building doesn't care, so their girls are different from other places." ”
Su Yiqing understood, isn't this the situation of sharing in the previous life, as long as she looks beautiful enough and can bring benefits to Bibo Lou, Bibo Lou will not restrain these girls too much, this rule seems to reduce a lot of benefits, but there are also many benefits, and many girls who don't want to be trapped are coming.
And since it is a share, then these girls will work harder than elsewhere, earn more and get more points, and the girls in the building are updated very quickly, and once they can't make money, they will be swept out of the house immediately.
Bibo Lou doesn't have to be like other green buildings, he has spent money to train those girls since he was a child, you must know that it is not easy to cultivate an Oiran, just like modern movie stars, no one can judge which girl can definitely be popular, some girls who seem to be amazing look mediocre in front of the camera, or they have always been a vase, unable to break through, but those seemingly mediocre girls, from time to time there are amazing moves.
These are all inaccurate, and a business that does not require capital is naturally a sure way to make a profit. (To be continued......)
