Chapter 62: Red Fire
Oriental Painting Brocade perked up and hurriedly asked, "Little uncle, what can you do?" ”
An Hongyuan: "Use the prophet in your dream to first pull Liu Guifei off the throne of the concubine and let her fall into the dust." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the first step to attack the Liu family, so as to ruthlessly and quickly suppress the arrogance of Liu Yiyi and the children of the Liu family of Hanlin Academy! In this way, for a while, the Liu family will definitely be shocked and panicked. At this time, use some prophets to provoke civil strife in the Liu family! Step by step, the various businesses, shops, docks, etc. of the Liu family will be eaten away little by little! ”
Dongfang Huajin's eyes were bright, and he couldn't stop nodding: "Very good, this idea is good!" However, with our current strength, it is not easy to pull Liu Guifei down. ”
An Hongyuan: "You don't have to worry about this, I can contact the Duke of Dingguo and the Marquis of Changning, as well as the queen, and the Shangguan family!" ”
Shangguan's family is the queen's maiden family, and the Duke of Dingguo and the Marquis of Changning are incompatible with the left. Zuo Xiang is a person from Concubine Liu, and he has a very close relationship with the Liu family. One of Zuo Xiang's granddaughters married Liu Yiyi's second brother.
Dongfang Huajin hesitated slightly, and then said: "With your strength alone, in a short period of time, it is not so easy to pull down Liu Guifei and knock her into the dust." Why don't you let Song Ci take a hand? ”
An Hongyuan looked up in surprise: "Painting brocade, aren't you unwilling to take care of it?" For this reason, a farce was staged, and he was so angry that he vomited blood, and even he heard about it. This matter is also known to the people of the six departments.
Dongfang Huajin sighed: "That's right, I really don't want to deal with him, that is, in the spirit of not using him in vain, I want to use him to quickly reverse the current very unfavorable situation, lest you be wantonly oppressed by the people of the Liu family!" ”
An Hongyuan categorically refused: "Since you haven't thought about getting back together with him, don't ask him for help, lest he want to see you in the future, and you can't refuse!" If he keeps pestering you, it's enough to annoy you! Don't worry, the queen hates Liu Guifei more than anyone else, and she will definitely agree to cooperate! ”
Dongfang Huajin was very moved, but he was reluctant to let his uncle go into danger: "Little uncle, listen to me!" The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and similarly, court officials are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the harem! Although the emperor values you very much now, if you let him know that you put your hand into the harem, he will definitely not forgive you! ”
When An Hongyuan heard this, his face couldn't help but turn pale, and he was speechless for a moment.
That's right, not to mention the emperor, if someone interferes in his back house, can he be happy? I'm afraid, I can't wait to kill each other, right?
Dongfang Huajin hurriedly continued to persuade: "Little uncle, you are not alone now, you have become your own son!" Kang'er is only a little over a year old now, if you have anything, how should you let your aunt and Kang'er be good? If this is the case, how can I feel at ease, and how can I still live a happy life? Don't worry about this matter for the time being, I'll send a letter to Song Ci first to see his reaction! ”
Two years ago, after the drought, An Hongyuan got married. His wife is Yao Mohe, the daughter of Dingguogong's cousin, and when she married him, she was already twenty years old and a widow. People are good people, and their character and personality are very good, but it's a pity that life is a little hard, and people are not ladylike.
In his previous life, An Hongyuan happened to have a relationship with Yao Mohe and had some understanding. According to the trajectory of her previous life, she stayed up until she was almost thirty years old, and her husband's family gave a remarriage letter and married a prefect in his thirties as a continuation. She was very good to her stepson and stepdaughter, but unfortunately, she was ostracized very badly and was wronged as a vicious stepmother. Within a few years of getting married, he was tortured to death, which is really pitiful!
In this life, An Hongyuan is familiar with Dingguo Gong and has become a year-old friend. Dingguo Gong had the heart to match him and Yao Mohe, he asked someone to inquire, Yao Mohe is indeed very good in all aspects, and she is also a kind and simple woman, and she has a very good appetite for him. After discussing it with his niece Huajin, Huajin actually agreed very much, and sent someone from the "" group to check it again, and sure enough, she was a good woman, and An Hongyuan agreed.
In the past two years, Yao Mohe has a good relationship with several sisters and brothers in Huajin, and they get along very closely. The son Ankang is also sensible, smart and cute. An Hongyuan is happy every day, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of Liu Yiyi, he would feel that there would be no worries in this day!
Song Ci received the letter from Oriental Painting Brocade, opened it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. There is only one line of strong and powerful words in the letter: Noble prince, please take care of your woman Liu Yiyi, don't let her come out and bite people!
"Someone, quickly go check and see what happened in Huali Villa?"
His intuition told him that Dongfang Huajin might have been bullied by the people of the Liu family and suffered a big loss. In the past few days, he has been busy doing a tricky thing for the emperor, and a large number of capable subordinates have been sent out, so he has neglected Huali Villa. It seems that we have to give a few masters of the Painting Brocade School.
Zhao Chang went to inquire in person, and soon there was a reply.
"Lord Qiqi, Liu Yiyi instructed the children of the Liu family who went to school in Hanlin Academy to surround the younger brothers and sisters of the Jinxiu Xiangjun in the academy and beat them severely, and the three of them were not lightly injured and had to stay in bed for a month to recuperate! It is said that the disciples of the Liu family openly shouted in the academy, saying that they had the support of Concubine Liu, and even if the Jinxiu Township Monarch sued the emperor, they would not be afraid, let alone suffer! ”
"How can this be true? Liu Yiyi, Liu Guifei, what a big courage, show this king a walk, you will definitely regret it! Song Ci was furious, his eyes flashed fiercely, and his black eyes seemed to have an undercurrent surging like a bottomless cold pool.
The chill in the air flowed, froze in an instant, and was eerily quiet, even the slight sound of the wind outside the window could be faintly heard.
Zhao Chang's heart has a villain pounding the ground vigorously: Great! Liu Yiyi, Liu Guifei, King Qin is angry, you are going to be unlucky! The Splendid Countryman, the mother of King Qin's children, the sweetheart he tries to please is also something you can provoke?!
Song Ci immediately wrote a long letter to Dongfang Huajin, and finally had this sentence: You can rest assured, whether it is Liu Yiyi or Liu Guifei, as long as it is a person from the Liu family in Jiangnan, there will be no good life!
The letter was sent by Zhao Chang in person, for fear that Dongfang Huajin would be unhappy, so he hurriedly explained to his master: "The prince is busy doing things for the emperor, and he really can't take a break, he said that he will come to apologize to you in person in two days." The prince also asked his subordinates to tell the princess that he would take the affairs of the Liu family to heart, but the Liu family is the first family in the south of the Yangtze River, and if you want to shake the foundation of the Liu family, you must arrange it well and slowly figure it out. Therefore, please ask the princess to give him a little time, at least one year, at most three years, it will definitely make the Liu family fall apart! However, if he waits for a few more days, he will make Liu Guifei suffer a little, so that she has no heart to support Liu Yiyi! ”
Dongfang Huajin was speechless: "Stop, can you stop calling me princess in the future?" Call me Mrs. Dongfang, or Splendid Country, okay? ”
This Zhao Chang, every time he sees her, he has to call her princess. She corrected it countless times, and he still called it that, and there was really nothing he could do.
Zhao Chang grinned innocently: "Princess Qiyu, my subordinates have important things to do, so I will leave!" These two secret guards, one is called Hao Miao, and the other is called Wu Yan, which is left by the prince to you and the little master! ”
Oriental painting brocade accepted it unceremoniously; "Okay, then you're welcome! Brother Hui and Sister Hui just need someone to protect them! ”
With the top masters, the safety issue has been further guaranteed, and the Oriental Painting Brocade is a lot more relieved, so I have the mind to consider other issues. She asked Mrs. Changning Hou for help, and invited a grandmother who came out of the palace to learn the rules with Yunjin and her.
She really doesn't understand the rules of this worldly woman, Dongfang Xiaocao has never invited her grandmother to teach the rules since she was a child.
Nowadays, she is a dignified villager, with poor etiquette and ignorant rules, she will become the laughing stock of the world. What's more, she wants to compare herself with Liu Yiyi and surpass the woman who never leaves the "Miss Family".
She followed her grandmother, learned the art of house fighting, learned the means of hiding needles in the cotton, and studied the way of survival very diligently.
If you want to catch up with the Liu family, you must work hard to improve yourself from head to toe. Otherwise, this can only be a fantasy, a pipe dream! In the future, even if the Liu family falls, it will still not be far behind, after all, it has a deep heritage of hundreds of years. And such a family, if he had not committed the crime of rebellion, and was as wise as Emperor Ruide, it would be impossible to exile the family. At most, they will raid the house and collect most of the family property into the treasury.
Therefore, if Oriental Painting Brocade is complacent, not modest and hard-working, if he goes out in the future, in some aspects, especially in terms of rules, he will definitely be inferior to the young lady of the Liu family. Besides, even if she doesn't care about the eyes of the world, she has to work hard for Hui'er.
Teaching by word and deed, mothers are always the first teachers of their children. Only when you learn well can you have the capital to teach the children, so that the children will not go out and not be ridiculed and looked down upon.
Yunjin is the same, she is not young anymore, it's time to choose a good man from a good family for her to marry! Learning the rules, for Yunjin, is a top priority!
Oriental Painting Brocade can't help but blame himself a little, he has been busy with this and that in the past few years, he forgot to invite a nurturing grandmother earlier, and give Yunjin a good guidance. Fortunately, this child is very sensible, obedient, and intelligent. Her rules are actually okay, but she hasn't learned from those old women who "specialize in art", and she still lacks a little.
Oriental painting brocade clenched his fists, and his eyes were resolute.
She wants to rise up, get rich, make a fortune, and become a rich man who rivals the richness of the country! is so rich that no one in this world dares to be greedy and malicious to her, dare not attack her, and dare not bully the people she wants to protect!
Jiangnan Liujia, one day, I will surpass! Will definitely surpass!
The Mu family.
Mu Yuyan was furious, and accidentally smashed the most valuable ornament in the hall, a vase that was hundreds of years old, and screamed uncontrollably: "Dongfang Xiaocao, you practice people, you have the life to give birth to a pair of children!" Not only that, but King Qin still can't forget this practice! ”
These two children, she dares to pack tickets, they must be Qin Wang Song Ci!
That practitioner, she is so infatuated with King Qin, loves him so deeply, and is so timid, she has been cultivated by the people of the Dongfang family to become a good example of three obedience and four virtues, how can she steal people to raise Han?
The personal maid was suddenly frightened and lost her soul, and screamed uncontrollably: "Miss, this is the master's favorite antique, it can be worth thousands of taels of silver!" ”
It's over! This time, she will definitely be scolded by the old man's cane!
"yes, if my grandfather found out, he would be very angry!" With the words, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl walked in from the door, this was Mu Yuyan's cousin Mu Yuhan.
Speaking of Mu Yuhan, she is very incompatible with Mu Yuyan.
This is a girl with a good character, with a straightforward and cheerful personality, and she is very unpleasant to Mu Yuyan, who has nine turns and eighteen bends and flowers.
The two looked at each other, I don't know why, for this cousin, Mu Yuyan suddenly felt a little scared.
Ever since she was disgusted by King Qin, she has fallen behind everywhere when she fought with this cousin.
"You, you snob! In the past, when I was good with King Qin, why didn't you dare to be tough with me? Now, it's just that King Qin dislikes me, but I'm really a shameless villain! ”
Mu Yuyan was annoyed and ashamed, and couldn't help yelling at her cousin.
"That's right, you are indeed disgusted by King Qin!" Mu Yuhan smiled sarcastically, and changed his words: "However, it's far more than that!" Why don't you say it, why are you disgusted by King Qin? Not yet, you did something vicious, you did something that harmed people's lives! If it weren't for King Qin's benevolence, you would have become a pile of loess by now, where would you have the opportunity to yell at me?! ”
Since she learned that this cousin was so vicious that she dared to harm people's lives, her awe of this cousin suddenly disappeared. When facing Mu Yuyan, she no longer had the slightest fear, no longer the slightest sense of humility.
On the contrary, I feel that I actually have the capital to be proud of!
Not so long ago, at the flower party, she was bullied. It just so happened that when Dongfang Huajin saw it, he stood up and spoke up, avoiding a disaster. I was very fortunate to have a very sincere and insightful explanation from Oriental Painting Brocade, which made her suddenly enlightened.
She is kind, filial, and hardworking.
These are all good qualities, aren't they?
Once cowardly and humble, she gradually stepped out of the shadows, became strong and resolute, and became confident.
Her father was a concubine, so what? Oriental Painting Brocade is very right, as long as people have a good character and do not bring trouble and shame to their parents and relatives, it is more important than anything else!
"You, you cheap girl who practices life!" Mu Yuyan was so angry that she smoked, pointed at Mu Yuhan with her finger, and her whole body was trembling.
At this moment, she only felt that it was difficult to breathe, and she was overwhelmed by the blow she faced.
How so?!
When did this sister, who used to be so humble and have no sense of existence, become so confident and radiant?!
As soon as these words came out, he immediately received a sharp eye knife from Mu Yuhan: "Vixen! Foul language, really vulgar! ”
After speaking, he gave the other party a contemptuous look, turned around and strode away.
The next day, Mu Yuhan discovered an amazing thing, which scared her! She wanted to cover this matter and prevent it from spreading, so as not to ruin the reputation of the Mu family's daughter. However, before she could find a chance to tell her parents, she didn't know who had passed it on.
Mu Yuyan, the eldest daughter of the Mu family's big house, was pregnant before marriage, and she couldn't even figure out the father of the child. Unauthorized abortion, since then lost the ability to have children.
This exciting news, in just a few days, has spread throughout the capital, and the city is full of wind and rain.
This incident can be called the biggest scandal of the year in Beijing, and it has become the laughing stock of the world after dinner.
Mu Yuyan's father, Lord Mu, the squire of the military department, was reprimanded by the emperor in public, and his official position was dismissed, and he was never hired. The children of the entire Mu family were more or less implicated.
Suddenly, Mu Yuyan became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat her. When the Mu family mentioned her, they gritted their teeth with hatred, and they were extremely alienated and despised for her and her family.
Master Mu couldn't bear such a blow, and he couldn't afford to be sick, and he lingered on the sickbed for more than a month before he got a little better. was in better spirits, and immediately personally found a businessman from other places for Mu Yuyan and married him far away.
This businessman is over forty years old, and the eldest son in the family is in his twenties. There are a large number of children and a good family, but they are not very wealthy. Moreover, this is not a wife, just a second room for someone!
When Mu Yuyan learned the truth, she even had the heart to die.
She resisted with all her might: "No! I don't want to, I don't want to die! ”
She didn't believe it, and she couldn't believe it anyway, that her father would do this to her! You must know that from childhood to adulthood, her father loved her very much, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he held her in the palm of his hand. Especially, in the days when she was friendly with King Qin, her father treated her as an eyeball!
No! It's not true, it's just a dream!
All of this is going to drive her crazy!
first lost Song Ci, lost the glory and wealth of the sky, and now he has to lose his father's love and the protection of his family. This result, she can't accept it, she can't bear it!
Father Mu sneered, and his tone was firm and sharp: "Don't agree? You are given two choices, either marry or go to the nunnery! Looking at her gaze, like a knife, with a full sense of warning.
Mu Yuyan was shocked, only to feel that there was a thunderbolt above her head, and the whole person trembled with fright, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. At this moment, her heart was terrified to the extreme, and she was desperate like never before.
She was really ruthlessly abandoned by her father!
"I'll marry, can't I marry?!" She screamed, her heart was full of despair, could she go to the nunnery? Not only will they have to endure hardship, but they will also suffer sin, and they will be insulted by others.
Dongfang Xiaocao, all of this is thanks to you! In this life and this life, I am inseparable from you, and I will never die!
Mu Yuyan secretly swore in her heart that her hatred for Oriental Painting Brocade had once again increased. Her eyes were full of resentment.
When Father Mu saw it, he thought that this unfilial girl had a grudge against him, and immediately called a person angry, and shouted: "Unfilial things, kneel down for me!" ”
The voice is very sharp and cold, as if it is mixed with ten thousand years of ice, and it sounds very penetrating.
Mu Yuyan was suddenly frightened, and when she reacted, her knees had already subconsciously fallen to the cold ground.
******
Oriental painting brocade knows how to make good use of people, and the hundreds of people recruited are all divided into categories: farming experts, carpenters, blacksmiths, masons, doctors, pastry chefs, shopkeepers, men, hunters, florists, tailors, kiln masters, etc., it can be said that there is everything. There are even a few scholars who used to be a lifter or a talent, but later they were deprived of their fame because they were implicated by the family or framed by the wicked.
These people, from the third day after entering the Pear Villa, men and women, young and old, must begin to learn to write their own names. People under the age of 20, except for a few particularly stupid people, must complete the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", and "Thousand Character Text".
Among them, there are dozens of people who are particularly talented in reading, or who are particularly eager to read reasonably, and who are very diligent and persevering. Oriental Painting Brocade built a primary school near the new "staff dormitory" and handed over these children to those few scholars to teach.
A few years have passed, the achievements are remarkable, and the young talents are gradually showing their talents. The eldest one, named Jing Ping, is fifteen years old and is also one of the top students. Now to take the test for children, it must be more than enough.
Oriental Painting Brocade convened the top five students and held a meeting in the conference room of the primary school, with Xun Feng, Yun Jin, Ye Mao, Zhao Qian, and several masters attending as observers. The parents of these children were also invited.
The five Jingping people, as well as their parents, were very uneasy, and did not know what they were told to do.
The other four were Gegen, thirteen years old; Pei Dong, 12 years old; Jiao Lian, 10 years old; Ganqu, nine years old.
When everyone arrived, she announced straight to the point: "There are still a few months, it is the children's exam, Ge Gen, Pei Dong, Jiao Lian, Ganqu and Jingping, tomorrow let people release your identity deeds, and you all go to take the exam!" From today onwards, prepare for the exam well, subsidize two taels of silver per person per month, and parents will make more delicious food for their children to make up for their bodies! ”
"Yes, thank you, master!" The father and mother of the five girls pulled their sons in unison, knelt down and kowtowed, very respectful and reverent.
Master, what a great man! It's Guanyin Bodhisattva!
There was a warm current surging in the hearts of the five teenagers.
Master, in this life, I will only be loyal to you, and I will only recognize you as the master! Do your best, never give up, never betray.
The five teenagers all secretly made such an oath in their hearts.
During this time, Oriental Painting Brocade was in a good mood. Although, Concubine Liu has not fallen into the dust, she is still a favorite concubine on the surface. However, Oriental Painting Brocade understands very well that this is nothing more than an illusion. Under the operation of Song Ci and with the acquiescence of the emperor, Concubine Liu Guifei is not long away from the unlucky days!
Today, the shops under Cui Ge (the business name founded by Oriental Painting Brocade) are thriving and making money every day.
Not to mention anything else, the tailor's shop alone has a monthly profit of more than 7,000 taels of silver. The main reason for this popularity is that the clothes here are novel and comfortable, both ready-to-wear and tailor-made. Even, according to each person's appearance, body shape and skin color, the most suitable style can be designed, and the color is naturally the most suitable, which can give full play to a person's advantages and cover up the person's shortcomings very skillfully.
The clothes designed by Oriental Painting Brocade are limited in quantity and sought after by thousands. Almost all of the residents of the scholarly house, the masters and students of the Hanlin Academy, have bought or ordered clothes in this tailor's shop. It's just that most people are not rich and can only buy those ready-to-wear clothes.
The design cost of a piece of clothing can be as high as twenty taels to one hundred taels of silver, or even thousands of taels. Except for those royal relatives, noble families and wealthy businessmen, not everyone can afford such a high fee.
There are even quite a few people who come from the capital inexplicably. In order to wear the clothes she designed herself, there are not a few people who are willing to spend a lot of money.
Such an oriental painting brocade made Song Ci very admirable, and his love for her increased day by day. Every day, no matter if he ignores him in the Oriental Painting Brocade, he will go to Huali Villa. After more than ten days, he paid a high price to buy a three-entry house in a family in Shuxiangju, and moved from the palace to Shuxiangju.
For Liu Yiyi, he is like hiding from the plague, very disgusted.
Liu Yiyi loved and hated, and there was an irrepressible panic in her heart, which spread rapidly. In Song Ci's heart, there was really no place for her, she finally accepted this reality and stopped deceiving herself.
However, despite this, she is still unwilling and still refuses to give up!
No! I'm not going to stop there! Song Ci, you are mine, and you can only be mine! Dongfang Xiaocao, what are you? is just a practitioner who was abandoned by her husband, a person who was abandoned by her family without virtue and filial piety! On appearance, talent, rules, female popularity, family background, which one of you is comparable to me?!
King Qin doesn't look down on me, King Qin doesn't put me in his eyes and heart, it's all your shameless trampling people! If your reputation is discredited, so that everyone in the government and the opposition will be disgusted with you and abandon you, see what face you still have? Let's see if King Qin will like you and remember you?!
No! You're a tramp, you'd better die! If you die, you will be a hundred; If you die, you can no longer dangle in front of Song Ci's eyes; If you die, Song Ci will forget you, you will love me wholeheartedly, feel sorry for me wholeheartedly, and treat me as a baby!
Liu Yiyi vowed in her heart to make a comeback and regain Song Ci's love!
