Chapter Seventy-Six: A Secret Is No Longer a Secret
"Good, good, I have no compassion, I am ruthless and unrighteous, my heart is made of stone, no, it is made of granite, hard and cold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Mu Chenghuang said that he was cold-blooded and ruthless, and coaxed the eldest princess's face to finally not be so serious, and it was the way, "I stopped the eldest imperial sister, and I also considered it for the eldest imperial sister." ”
The eldest princess tilted her head: "Tell me, if you say it well, I won't punish you." ”
Mu Chenghuang said: " Sister Dahuang think about it, this disaster relief was originally a matter of the imperial court, the court used the collected taxes to raise soldiers and officials, in order to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while, so this disaster relief, we don't have to worry too much, this is one, second, I heard that the father and the emperor also convened the ministers this time, and one percent of this month's Yulu was withdrawn for assistance in the disaster area, and the concubines in the harem are mostly from official families, and they have already made a contribution to their own families, this is the second, third, you and I have only assisted the queen mother to deal with the affairs of the six palaces, so it is fanfare, to put it nicely, it is to put the people first, the pain of the people, and the feelings of the people, but for those women in the haremIf they hold a grudge because of this, or secretly make trouble, we will lose a lot of good things, but we will not be able to protect ourselves, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
The eldest princess thought carefully for a long time, and felt that what Mu Chenghuang said was very reasonable, don't look at this harem is a woman, but one is more powerful than the other, she has only taken over this account for six or seven days, but the troubles she encounters can't be counted with her fingers and toes.
"Now the Queen Mother looks at the important imperial sister, the matter of this account book is handed over to the eldest sister to deal with, although I am also nominally assisting the Queen Mother to deal with the affairs of the six palaces, but in fact, it is just to help with miscellaneous work, the Queen Mother is so dependent on the important imperial sister, if the eldest imperial sister proposes this thankless method to the Queen Mother at this time, I am afraid that it will only make the Queen Mother hesitate whether to put this power on the eldest imperial sister. ”
Mu Chenghuang's words are extremely straightforward, for the eldest princess, she really has nothing to hide, what she said is also the plan in the heart of the queen mother, what the queen mother needs is a capable person who attaches equal importance to grace and power, not a good person with a bodhisattva heart, this point, the eldest princess and Duan Guifei are too similar, it needs to be corrected and restrained.
The eldest princess listened to Mu Chenghuang's words, and she was only secretly convinced in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Actually, the Queen Mother should hand over the heavy responsibility to you, you are much more innocent than me in your heart, unlike me, so you can only look at the numbers in the account book and settle the accounts." ”
Mu Chenghuang said with a smile: "Where can I hand it over to me, I am just a kung fu on the lips, this can do things, or the eldest sister is capable, and this account book, how can I learn it in six or seven days, or the eldest sister is powerful." ”
Mu Chenghuang's unsparing praise and encouragement finally made the expression on the eldest princess's face relax slightly, she is the same as Mu Chenghuang these days, or rather, she is more hard-working than Mu Chenghuang, she is Mu Yuanan's eldest daughter, and she is also the eldest daughter of Dashun, her words and deeds are to set an example for people younger than her.
"Good Chenghuang, Wu Zhaoyi said that Wanhuahui, I always have a bad premonition, I am worried that things will not be handled well, especially when Wu Zhaoyi came to me to ask for silver, during this time, you have to help me more. The eldest princess took Mu Chenghuang's hand as she spoke, Mu Chenghuang's eyebrows and eyes were bent into two crescent-like hooks, turned her hand over, and covered the eldest princess's hand in the palm of her hand, "If you don't say it, I will also help you, eldest sister, we have always been together, haven't we?"
The eldest princess took her hand and smiled: "Good Chenghuang, if it's still early today, you go to my palace to sit first, just right, you help me, I also have to start teaching you to read the account book, although I am not good at learning my own arts, but I can help you enter the door." ”
Mingxi Palace is very close to Shoukang Palace, the two of them are talking to the door, Zhihua Zhishu is busy preparing refreshments and precious fruits, is to retreat to the curtain and wait, the eldest princess is quite patient to open the account book to Mu Chenghuang, but this account book for Mu Chenghuang's teaching is naturally not a real record of the ledger, just a similar account book of palace expenses, Mu Chenghuang learns very quickly, occasionally raises his head and asks a few words, most of the time is the eldest princess is talking, including some tips that he has summed up.
Halfway through the talk, the eldest princess was also tired, and said after a while: "Now I look at the account book, only half of it is true, and there is still half, the queen mother is not allowed to touch it, it seems that you are still right that day, the queen mother is only pampering us now, and she may not trust us completely." ”
"What's this," Mu Chenghuang said, "Shen Ke told me that this account book is the most important thing in the way of business, Shen Ke has a heart, even if it is an old guy who has been doing accounts in her shop for many years, only one person is in charge of half of the accounts, one counts the income, the other calculates the cost, and the two of them don't know each other's accounts, only she can see it all by herself, even if the merchant is like this, not to mention the six palaces with mixed eyes." ”
The eldest princess nodded, seeing that Mu Chenghuang had already seen it, she took the half of the real account book she had just made today, and said, "Come, look at this." ”
Mu Chenghuang subconsciously shrank his body and said, "Is this really suitable?
"What's really fake, since you're studying, it's just a number to you. The eldest princess's attitude was very tough, at this time, Zhihua came in to serve tea, and was about to bring it to the eldest princess and Mu Chenghuang, but was sent out by the eldest princess with a look, Mu Chenghuang raised his eyes to see this scene, and naturally knew that the eldest princess had ulterior motives.
Sure enough, the eldest princess turned to a specially folded page, pointed to the dates of the previous two days, and said, "You start reading from here." ”
The label is written on the accounts of the Qiuyang Palace, Mu Chenghuang's fingertips moved slightly, and looked down, this account is also normal, it is the normal use of the princess, but yesterday, the Qiuyang Palace received a lot of angelica red dates and longan, Mu Chenghuang pointed to this place, raised his eyes and looked at the eldest princess, the eldest princess's eyebrows were slightly locked, as if condensing some melancholy, and her voice was soft: "You also found it." ”
"What is this?"
"I've asked the hospital. The eldest princess said directly, "The hospital said that it was the letter period of the four imperial sisters, half a month ago, when we prayed for blessings, and finally the four imperial sisters said that they were leaving, that is, they said that they were in the letter period." ”
Mu Chenghuang's heart chuckled, the eldest princess was really suspicious of herself, but Mu Chenghuang only replied vaguely: "Xu Yes, I made a mistake that day?"
"No," the eldest princess said in a deep voice, "Later, I was worried about the body of the fourth emperor sister, and after seeing you, I went to see her, and instructed a few words left and right, probably not to overwork during the letter period, catch a cold or something, if she didn't have a letter period at that time, she should have told me at that time." ”
Mu Chenghuang's eyes gradually exuded a wise light, in fact, this matter has been buried in her heart for a long time, but she has never dared to say it, and there is no evidence, but since the eldest princess has already suspected it, she replied softly: "Then, the eldest sister is suspicious?"
The eldest princess didn't make a sound, but leaned back, looking at Mu Chenghuang, meaningful, Mu Chenghuang said again: "Do you remember that when the national teacher was talking about a taboo, the fourth emperor sister suddenly said that she was unwell and wanted to leave?"
The eldest princess took a deep breath, she remembered that Guo Tianli said that non-virgins could not participate in the sacrifice, and it was already obvious that the two looked at each other for a long time, in fact, both of them knew it in their hearts, but no one was sure, and finally Mu Chenghuang opened his mouth and said: "Is there still a way for the eldest sister to contact Wei Bin, the prince of Wei Wuhou, who is exiled?"
The eldest princess suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, her originally tense body instantly relaxed, and her slender hand rested on her heart and stroked: "You really think the same as I think." ”
Mu Chenghuang's palms were already full of sweat, but his tone was much more relaxed than before: "What is the eldest sister going to do?"
The eldest princess seemed to be in a dilemma: "After all, she is our sister, but if she really has an affair with the prince of Wei Wuhou, she will hide it and not report it, and she will be ashamed of her father." ”
This is the eldest princess of Dashun, she has always considered sisterhood and loyalty to her father, Mu Chenghuang is not so noble, Mu Chengyao framed herself to buy exam questions, and teamed up with Cui Rong to push herself into the game, now the Wanhua Club is coming soon, I heard that there have been rumors in Beijing that she and Cui Rong are in love at Prince Su's lychee banquet, most of them are also Mu Chengyao's ghosts, Mu Chenghuang is not a good person, she doesn't want to forgive a person who is inherently evil, she only believes that the reincarnation of heaven is too long, and it is the way to fight back。
But for the loyal and pure eldest princess, she can only persuade like this: "Yes, my father values the four emperor sisters, and also values the marriage of the four emperor sisters, but if this matter is not known to the father and the queen mother, in the future, the four emperor sisters will marry out, and the husband's family will inevitably find out, and the life of the four emperor sisters will be sad at that time, it is better to let the father and the queen mother know the whole situation, and when choosing a marriage for the four emperor sisters in the future, choose a person who is loyal and honest, or love the four emperor sisters deeply, you can ignore the past suspicions, and when the time comes, the life of the four emperor sisters will be much better, right?"
The eldest princess nodded and said, "That's the truth, but I ...... in my heart." ”
Mu Chenghuang shook the hand of the eldest princess, his eyes flowed with sincere and emotional emotion, and said: "Sister Emperor, no decision can be both, we can only choose the one with the shortest and least damage." ”
The eldest princess was stunned, then nodded and said, "You have a point. ”
