Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Chess Piece

There is a saying that goes like this: A wife is honored by her husband.

There are many such wives in Dazhao who enjoy honor by virtue of their husband's official position.

There is also a saying that goes like this: mothers and children are expensive.

Princess Xian was first burdened by her husband and lost her status as a princess, and then was awarded the title of Mrs. Guotai with her son's merits, which is a unique supreme honor, and it can be regarded as the only one in Dazhao!

In one day, Princess Xian experienced great ups and downs, and when her son put a noble purple veil on her body, she finally broke down and cried bitterly......

Happiness is real, and grievances are even more real!

Without the husband who is cold to herself, she still has a caring son......

Princess Xian was content......

……

Out of the Imperial Palace, Ying Su stood on the high white marble steps and looked up at the sky, smiled and said, "The weather is good!" ”

A gust of cold wind blew, and there were sporadic autumn rain on his body, and the little eunuch standing behind His Majesty the Emperor shivered, and said in his heart: It's windy and rainy, the weather is not bad?

A chamberlain trotted over and put a cloak of thin cotton on the emperor's body, and Ying Su stood still, waiting for him to tie the belt himself.

Kill two birds with one stone! He dismissed Ying Yao and encircled Ying Fei, and what made him most proud of this move was that he successfully separated the father and son!

For the emperor, he only needs his ministers to be loyal to him, and he does not need them to form gangs.

It is much easier to deal with a capable courtier than against a group of capable courtiers.

When Wang Wei came back, he reported to him in detail about Ying Fei's various reactions, and Ying Su just nodded to indicate that he understood.

Things were going in the direction he wanted...... The next step should be my father-in-law, who is huddled in the Prime Minister's Mansion...... It's safer to keep this kind of thing in your own hands!

"Back to Xixiang Village." Ying Su commanded and went straight down the steps. Thinking of the lady and their two children, His Majesty the Emperor smiled inadvertently: "The lady is my antidote......"

Since he was a child, he has been taking medicine with a greasy taste, but now he is suddenly interested in taking medicine again.

……

In the study of the annex, Ying Yao, who was dressed in civilian clothes, sat alone, with a chessboard in front of him, he was holding a chess book in his hand, and a stove of sandalwood was burning on the desk not far away.

Without an official position and a title, Ying Yao did not feel that he was unofficial, but extremely disappointed.

Now although his eyes are staring at the chessboard, he is thinking about the things in the court: once the son of heaven and a courtier, the little emperor killed Ming Cheng and abolished me, which is clearly to centralize power.

He must be going to attack Han Xiang next...... Ying Yao has always been confident in his own judgment.

Picking up a chess piece, he was in a daze: the old minister was killed by the abolition of the little emperor, so he will definitely promote a few more henchmen, who will he promote?

After thinking about this question for a while, Ying Yao sneered: "Besides my father and son, who else can you use?" ”

Thinking of this, his mind calmed down a little.

Ying Fei is his son, if Ying Fei is in power, then he, the father, is comparable to the emperor, even if he loses his official position, who dares not to give him some face?

"Sir." The steward came in with a pot of hot water and refilled the teacup on the table: "I heard ......"

A 'master' made Ying Yao hear it very harshly, he threw the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard and said lightly: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Yes." The steward fastened the lid of the teacup, accompanied him carefully, and said, "The little man got the news and said ......."

He raised his eyes and looked at his master and continued: "It is said that Gonggong Wang in the palace went to the palace to deliver the decree, and His Majesty has already crowned Mrs. Xià as Mrs. Yipin Guotai!" ”

"Hmm." After a long time, Ying Yao snorted from his nose, but there was no change in his face.

The steward stooped backwards and turned out of the house, closing the door with him.

Ying Yao still sat expressionlessly, and it wasn't until he listened to the steward's footsteps that he changed color, raised his hand and slammed the chess game in his hand out: "The villain with sinister intentions!" ”

……

Cong Dengzhou returned to the imperial capital, and his days became colder day by day.

Although there was a turmoil in the court, Yue Xi didn't care about those things, and he was busy with the Taiping Bureau every day except for teasing his two sons and a few old girls in the backyard.

She made two trips to Funing with great fanfare, in addition to bringing back the special products purchased locally, and also expanding the reputation of the Taiping Bureau.

The ancients often said, 'Good wine is not afraid of deep alleys', but Yue Xi said, 'Good wine is also afraid of deep alleys'!

She knows that only by letting more people know about the golden signboard of the Taiping Bureau can she attract more business.

Because these two long-distance trips were extraordinarily flamboyant, they also made the people in the imperial capital pay attention to the goods pulled back from the Taiping Bureau's car.

In the warehouse built on the mass grave of Shi Chuncun, there are many businessmen who come to inquire.

When the autumn cabbage fell, the people outside the imperial capital began to prepare for the cat winter, and every household took advantage of the heavy snow to save more vegetables and fruits.

Yue Xi took advantage of this opportunity to start wholesale a large number of ulva.

The Taiping Bureau was engaged in the carriage and horse business, and although it had opened several branches, Yuexi insisted on doing only one business, and the sales of Shi Chun fell to idle merchants.

Yuexi adhered to the attitude of having a beginning and an end in business, not only sold the ulva to those merchants, but also personally picked up a few things of the chelva and taught them to those merchants.

If you want people to sell well, you have to know that it's delicious.

At the same time, Yuexi also asked each branch store to prepare some dishes made of Ulva shi, which could be tasted casually after the guests came down, helping the merchants sell the goods in a very intuitive way......

After all, only if the merchant feels that the goods are easy to sell and can make money, will he be interested in coming to the Taiping Bureau to buy goods again.

The sales of Ulva have improved little by little, and more than a month later, most of the Ulva piled up in the warehouse of the Taiping Bureau has been sold!

And the silver that Yue Xi invested in the early stage almost recovered the cost, and the rest of the goods were visible income.

She carefully calculated, this business is about more than 30% of the profit, and she will make a lot of money!

The busy days pass quickly, and the New Year is coming in the wax moon.

A few snowfalls in a row, and the ground is already frozen!

"I said, when are you going to go back to your house?" Looking at Han Yangchun, who had already gone to the splint and was running wildly on the snow with his two sons dressed like balls, Yue Xi asked with a frown.

Han Yangchun, who had already been raised in the winter, let them fall down with a small object in his hand, and he glanced back at Yue Xi: "My sister's house is also the home of my foolish brother." ”

"Don't be shameless!" Yue Xi beckoned to Yun Hua and Xia Ran, who were standing far away, and the two big girls hurriedly ran over, and one of them hugged a child and walked back.

"Children don't be so pampered." Han Yangchun stood up straight, and his mouth was full of haze when he spoke.

He took a few steps to the side, standing under the ginkgo tree, looking up and admiring the beautiful scenery of the snow falling on the canopy: "When they are older, I can teach them martial arts." ”

"I asked you when you'd be home." Yue Xi strode to his side but lowered his voice and said, "Look at the bunch of big girls in my backyard, they haven't even dared to go out of the yard since you came, don't you feel guilty?" ”

"Could it be that the female relatives in my sister's house have never left the cabinet and rely on the foolish brother?" Han Yangchun stood under the tree with his hands in his hands, wearing only a well-fitting robe, so he looked even more long and graceful.

"Humph!" Yue Xi sneered at him.

"The one who created the evil is no longer in the world, and my sister should not blame the foolish brother if she has hatred in her heart." Han Yangchun turned his face to look at him and said seriously: "Whose son am I, this is something I can't choose." ”

"Let's not talk about the past." Han Yangchun's words were right, Yue Xi thought for a while and said, "Didn't you choose to be Han Qi's son?" Then you have to be a filial son and grandson! It's going to be the New Year, so don't you plan to go back to accompany him for the New Year? ”

"Huh!" Han Yangchun smiled slightly and looked up at the tree again: "When has anyone heard of Brother Fool's plan?" ”

Han Yang Chungui is the son-in-law of the first emperor and the empress, and has experienced ups and downs since he was a child.

First of all, he was squeezed out by the Ming family, who coveted the latter position, and he had no identity and could only live with Han Yangchun's identity, until Ying Su grew up and became pro-government, because his identity as the concubine of the East Palace was also seen as a thorn in the side of Ying Su, ready to be removed at any time!

Although Yue Xi's sentence of 'Brother Dong' on the cliff evoked his desire to live again, no matter who he was, it was embarrassing!

He really hasn't lived happily for a day, whether it's Dongge or Han Yangchun, he has to be a man with his tail between his legs!

In the past, he was a gun in the hands of Han Xiang. Although Han Qi's feet can't walk, he can use the talisman in his hand to mobilize Zhao's soldiers and horses, and Han Yangchun, as his hands and feet, has been driven by him to fight in the east and west, and he has cleaned up a lot of dissidents for him.

Now he is a pawn in the hands of Win Su. As for when he will play and where he will fall, Han Yangchun does not know. But chess pieces are chess pieces, and when they are useful, they are also held at their fingertips!

Pondering the meaning of depression in his tone, Yue Xi sighed. Reaching out and touching his clothes, she said, "You are thin, don't stand outside for a long time." ”

Han Yangchun looked up at the falling snow on the branches and seemed to be crazy, but Yue Xi didn't intend to grieve with him.

It is not easy for a person to live a lifetime. He has to decide what to do in the future.

The sound of boots falling on the snow was 'creaking', and now it was no longer audible, and Han Yangchun knew that Yue Xi had gone away.

He raised his left leg expressionlessly and kicked the ginkgo tree hard, and the snow on the canopy fell on his head and face, hitting him in the face mercilessly, but he didn't seem to feel the cold at all.

His heart was already colder than ice and snow.

"Shhh Han Yangchun stumbled and almost fell, but he quickly reached out and grabbed the trunk.

"Do you really want to be a lame piece of waste?" The cold voice clearly came into Han Yangchun's ears: "I don't want to think too much about a waste!" ”
