Chapter 164: Xiangyun's thoughts

The news of Xiangyun's attack reached the palace in the morning, at that time Queen Mu was checking the list of palace maids released from the palace and the salary paid to them, she was shocked when she heard about it, and she was relieved after learning that Xiangyun was fine, and immediately sent Liu Xi out of the palace to find out what was going on, and quietly sent Changmei out to protect Xiangyun secretly.

She is very busy now and can't go out to visit Xiangyun in person, and the matter of releasing the palace maid has been decided. The palace ladies only left in the past few days, and Cai Wei was busy checking the number of people who had left, settling the amount of money that should be compensated to them, and adjusting the remaining manpower in case there was a shortage of manpower.

The palace maids heard that they could go out of the palace, and the queen mother also gave them the money they had worked in the palace over the years, as if they had been reborn, they were all grateful to increase the amount with their hands, and they ran to tell each other, everyone made an appointment to kowtow to Cai Wei outside the imperial study, among these palace maids, there are young and wonderful girls, and there are old girls who are old and yellow, and there are old women who are struggling to walk, everyone kneels in front of the imperial study, kowtows to the queen mother devoutly, and thanks the queen mother with tears.

Cai Wei heard that everyone was coming, took Zhaoqiu's hand and walked out, gently told everyone to get up, and said: "This time let everyone out, although it was mentioned by the palace, but it was the emperor who overrode the public opinion in the court and made it a whole, I hope everyone will live a good life after they go back, and don't let down the emperor's thoughts about everyone." In addition, if there is no one in the old family, the palace maid can be in the local support hall for the elderly, if you are not willing to travel for the tired, you can also retire in the support hall in the capital, the palace will also buy a piece of land as a cemetery, in the future, all the palace maids and eunuchs who died in the palace can have a coffin to wrap themselves in the ground! ”

"Thank you for the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old and a thousand years old-"

After listening to the words of the queen, everyone was even more grateful to tears, and there was nothing to repay the queen, so they had to kowtow to the queen, and many people turned their heads red!

When Nangong Yi came back, he happened to see this scene, and said with some emotion: "With the power of the lady alone, she has benefited so many people, and the lady is really a virtuous and virtuous person!" ”

Cai Wei said: "To do more good deeds, to benefit people, but also to accumulate blessings for yourself, the emperor as the king of a country should be even more so, often you a small action, can benefit a lot of people, but also often a small action, can make a lot of people suffer, so the emperor must save the people first, first correct himself, more blessings, less killing, our Great Jin Kingdom can be stable for a long time!" ”

Nangong Yi was convinced, he nodded and said, "What the lady said is very true, and I wrote it down for my husband." ”

After the palace maids dispersed, Nangong Yi and Cai Wei walked into the imperial study and walked to the east room, Nangong Yi saw the account book and abacus placed on the kang table, picked up the account book at random and looked at it, and said with a smile: "The lady wants to pay these palace maids out of the palace to make up the salary?" This is a lot of expenses, some palace maids are already sixty or seventy years old, and they have been in the palace for most of their lives, and one person can get four or five hundred taels, and the more than 6,000 palace maids who are released, plus the cost of the people who send them back, as long as there are no hundreds of thousands of silver, they can't get down. ”

Cai Wei said disappreliantly: "I initiated this matter, and I am very grateful that you can help me facilitate this matter, so I will pay for the silver of the palace maid, and some people will use the money in the treasury of the province to make irresponsible remarks about you!" ”

Nangong Yi said with a smile: "The lady is really wealthy, and she took out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver without blinking an eye, which really made me want to hug my thighs more and more!" ”

The two laughed and went to the kang, Nangong Yi motioned to Yang Yong to bring the folds, one of the husband and wife reviewed the folds on the side of the kang table, and the other checked the accounts there, they all did it very carefully, and occasionally tacitly raised their heads and smiled at each other, which was very warm!

When it was close to noon, Cai Wei finally finished settling all the accounts, she put down her pen, knocked on her neck, and said, "I'm done, how long will you have to go?" ”

Nangong Yi raised his head in surprise and said, "So fast? ”

"Of course!"

Cai Wei proudly raised the account book in her hand and said, "I have to take out a total of two thousand ten thousand Lu Qi Bai and one two or six yuan of silver to compensate for the salary, and I also have to take out ten thousand thousand Lu Bai eighty-three taels of carriage and horse expenses, which is the same as the result calculated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs." ”

Nangong Yi's eyes were sharp, and she saw the straw paper she used when settling accounts, and saw that it was full of strange symbols, and said curiously: "What are you writing, strange, how do you settle accounts with these things?" ”

Cai Wei said: "These are called Arabic numerals, which are specially used for accounting, and these numbers are much simpler than our commonly used accounting methods!" ”

The man nodded in agreement, she only used so much effort to figure it out with such a big book, which shows that the effect is indeed not ordinary.

He said, "Is this also what you have passed down from Fuyou Island?" ”

Cai Wei smiled and said, "Yes! ”

The man nodded, not saying anything.

Cai Wei guessed his mind and said: "This method of counting is very effective, it is simple and accurate, and if it is widely promoted among the people, it will definitely be of great benefit to the people." ”

Nangong Yi said: "This is the mastery of Fuyou Island, can it be passed on casually?" ”

Of course you can, Cai Wei said without hesitation: "As long as it can benefit the people, everything on Fuyou Island can be taken out!" “

Nangong Yi heard this and said happily: "Since this is the case, I will bother the lady to pass on this method of arithmetic, so that the people can benefit from it." “

The Arabic method of arithmetic can be easily accessed by even third-grade elementary school students in Cai Wei's world, but in this feudal and backward world, it can be regarded as an extremely advanced academic, and even people like Nangong Yi are surprised.

Of course, Cai Wei doesn't mind spreading this knowledge and culture, but she still has a little idea of her own - she wants to pass on this arithmetic skill to women alone, so as to improve women's social status! ”

She said: "I thought about it for a while, and I felt that I could open a women's academy and recruit young ladies from officials above the third grade in the DPRK and China to study here, not only to teach these young ladies arithmetic knowledge, but also to Fuyou Island and some other things that are also worth widely promoting, so that not only can the arithmetic skills be spread, but also improve the social status of women, and maybe it can also drive the development of our Dajin economy!" ”

Nangong Yi said: "Although this method is good, it is just that the academy has been opened, and it will tire you again, I can't bear it, so you should teach a few people, and then let them go out to teach." ”

Cai Wei smiled: "In this case, I will teach my subordinate Liu Xi, he is very smart, and he must learn quickly!" ”

Nangong Yi said: "Okay, if you say Liu Xi, you will be Liu Xi!" ”

Outside the palace

Liu Xi sneezed, not knowing that he had been remembered by the queen's mother, at this time he had just come out of Xiangyun's Zhuangzi, this young lady had experienced the danger of last night, her expression was very bad, fortunately, it was fine, her mother Mrs. Wu and her mother-in-law Bai were talking to her left and right, very intimate. Seeing that she was fine, Liu Xi conveyed the queen's condolences and left, and when he left, the steward of the Zhuangzi was taking a few craftsmen to repair the windows of the main house, which were said to have been damaged by the bandits.

At this time, the Liguo Mansion was lively, and after Du Wanqing fell into a coma, Mo Zili ordered her to be tied up and handed over to Ying Tianfu for disposal; Wangcai colluded with bandits, intending to murder the master and mother, and the crime was unforgivable, and he was directly killed; All the people involved in this incident should be punished with fifty rods, and they will be sold after the beating; The two little servants who killed Mama Xie You Ke could still struggle to stand up after the beating, but Mrs. Zhang was too old and frightened in her heart, and after fifty years of the cane, she soon died; Although Lang Yu did not die, a delicate beauty, after being beaten with fifty sticks, was crippled, and she couldn't stand up in this life. After being sent to the tooth shop, I am afraid that no one is willing to pay for a slave who can't stand up, and what awaits her will be the most just judgment of fate!

Mama Wang was exempted from criminal law because of her meritorious work in exposing Du Wanqing, but she also participated in the surveillance of Qiu Shuangzhai, so she was also betrayed.

Mo Zili sent down all the people involved in this matter in one breath, and afterwards, he knelt in front of the old lady again, and pleaded heavily: "My grandson is not filial, because he was confused and insulted our Mo family's style, causing the elders to worry about me, my wife was hurt by me and ran away from home, please grandmother punish!" ”

The old lady said: "We old people are in a hurry, no matter how angry they are, they are not as sad as your daughter-in-law, if you sincerely ask me for sin, go and coax your daughter-in-law back to me, which is considered to be a crime, if you can't coax her back, you will be punished for the new crime and the old crime together." ”

Mo Zili said in a deep voice: "Even if grandmother doesn't say it, grandchildren will also go to her, grandmother rest assured, grandchildren promise you that they will definitely bring her back." ”

The old lady was very satisfied and said, "That's right, such a good daughter-in-law, if you lose it, and others don't say it, I will be the first to refuse." ”

……

In the evening, Mrs. Wu and the Bai family left dozens of loyal nurses, and left with thousands of instructions.

As soon as they left, Xiangyun's tense heart finally relaxed, and finally no one forced her to go back to the Liguo Mansion, and no one forced her to live a good life with Mo Zili......

Her body was frightened by the wind and cold last night, and she was already very tired, and she was frightened by Mo Zili today, and she couldn't support it for a long time, but she still gritted her teeth in front of the two ladies and held on, if she fell, she would be forcibly pulled back to the Liguo Mansion.

She didn't eat dinner, and as soon as her mother and mother-in-law left, she lay down and fell asleep exhausted.

However, she slept very unsteadily, and kept having nightmares, one moment she dreamed that the group of bandits came again, holding knives to kill her, and another time dreaming that Mo Zili pressed on her body and stripped her clothes and bullied her, which frightened her so much that she woke up twice, and she cried in her sleep.

"Don't ...... Stay back.... Let me go.... ”

She cried very sadly, like a helpless child.

Faintly, she felt someone wiping her tears with her hands, which were a little rough, but very gentle, treating her like a delicate baby, she was confused, as if she had returned to last night.

The mysterious man helped her take off her wet clothes, helped her wipe her body, and carefully helped her get dressed one by one...

His hands were warm and gentle, making Xiangyun unforgettable.

Who is he?

Why is it here?

Why did you save her and help her change her clothes?

Why did you save her but disappear and never reappear?

Xiangyun really wanted to know who he was, this whole day, except for dealing with two difficult ladies, almost all the rest of the time was spent thinking about him, who was he? Will they ever see each other again? However, no matter who he is, in Xiangyun's heart, he is a good person, a hero who saves her life between life and death, a warrior who can defeat ten with one, and a righteous gentleman who does not sit still.

It was too dark last night, and she couldn't see his face, but she vaguely saw that he was very tall, his figure was long and elevated, and his body also had a faint fragrance on his body, which smelled very good.

She loves it!

The hand that wiped her tears was as gentle as the one last night, and a little rough, except for the absence of the faint fragrance, almost no different from last night.

Xiangyun stopped crying, sniffed and said, "Is that you?" Are you here again? ”

Suddenly, the hand that was caressing her face stopped, and it stopped stiffly on her face.

"What are you talking about?" A familiar voice sounded over her head, completely waking her up. Xiangyun opened her eyes dimly, and saw Mo Zili's silhouette in a trance, she sat up suddenly, and was so frightened that she hid in the corner of the kang, and then she screamed to the comer.

"You.... How did you end up here? Who told you to come into my room? You get me out! Xiangyun panicked, and then she remembered that when he left in the morning, he said that he would accompany her to live here, and at that time she thought he was just talking, but she didn't expect him to really come.

The person who came was Mo Zili, and at this moment, he was wearing a dark blue plain brocade robe, looking extremely comfortable and homely.

"I'm your husband, who will come here if I don't come here? Are you waiting for someone else to come? Mo Zili stared at her with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see the answer from her face.

When he first came, he saw her sleeping restlessly on the kang, and her poor little face wrinkled together, crying in her sleep, and his heart hurt, and in a blink of an eye, when he heard her say, 'Is it you?' Are you here again? When he said this, his heart sank to the bottom again, who could be the 'you' in her mouth? Seeing that she said that sentence in a gentle and watery tone, she intuitively told him that you must be a man in her mouth.

Man, could it be that while she was living here alone, she had another man?

The thought was terrifying, and the thought of it made him feel the urge to destroy the world.

Although he betrayed first, it is reasonable for a man to have a woman other than one or two wives, but women are different, and secular etiquette has strict requirements for women, and they are not allowed to have a little stain on their bodies.

She is the wife he is marrying, his Mo Zili's wife, if she gets along with other men behind her back, what will the world think of him? What other face does he have in this world? Besides, she has unknowingly occupied his heart, if he knew that she had betrayed him emotionally, even if he put aside the matter of face, he would not be able to accept it!

Xiangyun's eyes flickered, fortunately it was dark now, Mo Zili was afraid that it would affect her sleep, so he ordered someone to light a candle far away from the house, the candlelight was faint, and she couldn't see the momentary drift of her eyes, so Mo Zili didn't see the flaw.

Xiangyun was taken aback by Mo Zili's words, and suddenly recalled what he said when he was half asleep and half awake, and he was shocked for a while, but what she said was suspicious, and any man would ask about it.

She wanted to part ways with Mo Zili, but she knew her current situation very well, Mo Zili would not let her go, and with Mo Zili's character, if she knew that she was thinking about other men, or knew that other men had touched her, she would definitely do what she didn't do during the day.

Therefore, for the sake of his own life, he must not let this matter know.

"Do you think I'm your wife? What did you do to me during the day? Have you forgotten? Do you want me to welcome you? Xiangyun cried aggrievedly and made a lot of noise.

Mo Zili narrowed his eyes slightly, and said meaningfully: "Just because I treat you badly, you want to leave with me?" So you've got all the way back? By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what is your future path? It can't be a man! ”

His tone was strange, as if he was yin and yang, Xiangyun had never heard him speak in this tone, but he felt the danger behind this tone.

She said angrily: "I'm a checker, not as shameless as you, so don't treat me as you, it's okay to sue you for my back road, I want to do business with Caiwei and make a lot of money, even if I am spoiled by your concubine and kill my wife in the future, I will not be destitute, whoever you like, who you want to have children with, just go, without you, I will live the same life." ”

"This is your way back?" Mo Zili raised his eyebrows, a little disbelieving.

Xiangyun stared at him and said uncompromisingly, "So what? No, it has nothing to do with you, you killed my nurse, don't think I'll forgive you, I'll be reconciled with you sooner or later! ”

Hearing that she hadn't given up on the matter of Heli, Mo Zili snorted lightly and said, "Haven't you forgotten about Heli?" I thought you would reflect on yourself after the morning's events, but I didn't expect you to learn a lesson. ”

"Lessons? Is your so-called lesson to insult me like a fan? Xiangyun said mockingly, thinking of his unreasonableness to himself in the morning, and unconsciously his eyes turned red, and with her pale little face, she looked very pitiful.

Seeing this, Mo Zili tightened his hand behind his back slightly, and said, "You are going to leave with me, why do I still treat you as a wife?" If it weren't for you, how could I have done this to you? ”

Xiangyun's tears fell silently, but he looked at him and said slowly: "I married you originally to live a good life with you, but what did you do to me?" But if you are kind to me, I won't want to do such a deviant thing as reconciliation, it was you who forced me to have the idea of reconciliation, and I proposed reconciliation and divorce, and you blame me, are you still unreasonable? ”

After saying that, she covered her mouth, turned her head and cried aggrievedly.

When Mo Zili saw her crying, he couldn't bear it for a while, and wanted to put down his body to coax her, but he still couldn't let go of what had just happened in his heart, he coughed and said, "You rest, I'll go and order you food." With that, he stepped out.

When Xiangyun came to Zhuangzi, Mo Zili was afraid that the food in Zhuangzi was poor and Xiangyun couldn't get used to it, so he sent two cooks to Xiangyun in the name of the old lady, both of whom were arranged by him to take care of Xiangyun and his eyeliner, and they were very trustworthy.

After coming out, Mo Zili's expression became cold, and he went directly to the courtyard where the next person lived, called out the two cooks, and asked them if there were any men who had dealings with Xiangyun.

However, in the end, the answer was not suspicious.

Except for last night, when they were stunned by the bandits, every other day, the two of them took turns to monitor the young lady at night, and the young lady was absolutely fine.

Hearing this, most of Mo Zi's doubts disappeared, and he understood Xiangyun's character, she was a simple and scheming stupid girl, and she would not do such an ugly thing as red apricot going out of the wall. Thinking of this, he put his mind at ease and instructed the cook to bring dinner to Xiangyun, and he went back to Xiangyun's house first.

When he came back, Xiangyun had already gotten up from the kang and was being served by Cui Wei to wash his hands and face. She was wearing a white placket with dark embroidered Tuanfu characters, an ivory-colored floor-length silk skirt underneath, and her long black hair hung down to **, and she was bending over to wash her hands.

Seeing that he came in again, Xiangyun threw the handkerchief into the basin and shouted: "Why are you here again, go out!" ”

Mo Zi's doubts have gone, and all that remains is apology and pity for Xiangyun, in the face of Xiangyun's noise, he said in a low voice: "Xiangyun, let's stop making trouble, can't I admit defeat?" ”

"You throw in the towel? How do you throw in the towel? What do you mean by throwing in the towel? ”

Xiangyun was stunned by him, tilting his head and looking at him fixedly.

Mo Zili sat down opposite her and said seriously: "As long as you don't mention Heli anymore, if you want to fight, want to make trouble, want to do, and want to make me angry, it's up to you, but there is only one point, you are not allowed to mention the word 'Heli', otherwise I will be angry, Xiangyun, don't touch my bottom line, otherwise, you can't afford the consequences." ”

Introduction:

When I first saw her, she was covered in blood and her life hung by a thread, he didn't see it when he saw death, she smiled, and her human nature was cold, not angry or resentful. Goodbye, he was poisoned and died, she watched from the sidelines and watched the changes, he smiled, we are really a family. Forced to stain her hands with blood, forced to survive, forced to grovel, she endured all of these! However, when the only heart she had left was coveted, she became angry, "Although this heart is full of holes, I still want to protect it." He pointed to his chest and said, "I'll change this with you." ”()
