Jia Jiu felt that Concubine Jin was very suspicious, but no one else thought so, including Princess Changle, Princess Lanling and Princess Jiashan.

Ten years have passed, and the eldest princesses of these two widows are also very different from the past. Ten years ago, the eldest princess of Jiashan gave up her wish to marry Yan Wei for many years, and now, the eldest princess of Jiashan, who is over forty years old, has a softer and softer expression, looking similar to an old lady from an ordinary family, looking kind and kind.

And the eldest princess of Lanling is much more free. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess did not think about remarrying as early as the year she was widowed, but he had a face. Although he is not a very great and talented character, he is a beautiful and capable master.

The eldest princess of Lanling also saw it: "Why is it not a life?" It's good to be happy. I'm already a princess, even my father and brother don't want my horse to have real power, and even most people with lofty ideals don't like to be a horse, the world is like this, what else can I do? Find someone who has the ability, and then watch him be shelved so that he has a grudge and the two complain about each other? It's better to be confused. ”

Princess Changle smiled: "Auntie is really open-minded. ”

The eldest princess of Lanling said: "What is open-minded? It's just that you lied to me, I lied to you, and I can live one day at a time. If you want me to say, all of my people combined, they can't compare to a finger of the Yan family's son, let alone compare with Jiu Yatou. As he spoke, he took the fan in his hand and said to Princess Changle with Jia Jiu: "To be honest, I still envy you, who is not envious of your fate with Jiu Yatou?" On ability, on your considerate care and tolerance. Where can the nine girls be worse? It's just that I'm not a man, so I can't marry you seriously. ”

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her face turned red. It's true that no one has ever said anything like this in his ear.

The eldest princess of Jiashan immediately noticed Lin Daiyu's discomfort. Hurriedly pulled his sister's sleeve.

The eldest princess of Lanling said: "Yo, I forgot that there is a little girl here." ”

Lin Daiyu said: "Let Her Royal Highness the princess smile." ”

The eldest princess of Lanling said: "Lin girl, don't use this honorific title, just call me Lanling, just call him Jiashan." You are Jiu Yatou's cousin and his junior sister, so you don't have to be so polite. ”

Lin Daiyu said: "Isn't this good? ”

"What's so bad? I said yes! The eldest princess of Lanling immediately raised her eyebrows. Pretending to be unhappy, he said: "Our friendship is our private matter, I see you as amiable and cute, and I want to have a deep friendship with you." And how? If anyone else has a word, let them come to me! ”

The eldest princess of Jiashan smiled on the side: "Sister, you scared Lin girl." He explained, "Lin girl." Makes you laugh. DID YOU KNOW. Now, how many people outside this Luanyu envy our sisters' good luck at the beginning and can take the path of the nine girls? The father and the emperor had many children, and there were more than 20 sons who had grown up alone, and there were 17 sons who are still alive today. As for daughters, even more. My brothers, those who have no sons are worried about their sons, and those who have sons are worried about the marriage of their children, especially this dowry. It's not good to go to Xuanhui Mansion all over? was originally a lazy person, but now he is more and more faceless. Not only in front of my father and brother, but also with me and Sister Lanling, Lanling didn't know how many famines. You look at it, and when you get to the autumn hunting ground, he doesn't know how he will please you. ”

The royal family, who grew up in the circle of power since childhood, began to be exposed to power struggles when he could walk. Even if they don't want to fight, their biological mothers, adoptive mothers, and the people around them will fight for them and force them to fight. Therefore, in the royal family, if you want to stand alone, it is a hundred times more difficult than standing out among the crowd.

The reason why King Zhongshun is King Zhongshun is because he is a truly powerful person, and he can control not only his own ambitions, but also the ambitions of the people around him and his subordinate officials. If it weren't for his very clever means and his ability to control his own **, the emperor would feel that he would threaten him after he ascended the throne, but I was afraid that the current emperor would not be able to ascend to that position.

Although Lin Daiyu has never seen King Zhongshun, she still has a little understanding of this prince's actions. When he heard that King Zhongshun also wanted to curry favor with Jia Jiu, he was stunned: "Although that prince often acts unexpectedly, he doesn't look like a person who can do such things." ”

"Who makes salt too eye-catching?"

"Salt fertilizer?" Lin Daiyu was very surprised, "This is this, didn't it be handed over to the imperial court?" ”

"Who doesn't have land? Who doesn't want to fetch more food? The eldest princess of Lanling said, "In the past, I thought so, I am a princess, as long as I don't get involved in certain things, who dares to lose me?" But this time, I know that the common people don't eat, they will eat people. ”

Seeing that Jia Jiu didn't understand, the eldest princess of Lanling hurriedly learned from him the horror of this famine: "You just returned to Beijing not long ago, and no one should have mentioned it to you yet." Do you know about the people who were eaten up in Ping'an Prefecture? ”

Jia Jiu didn't react at first: "Eat it all, did you eat the grass and bark and start eating the soil?" When he reacted, he almost jumped up: "Yes, cannibalism?" ”

When these two words were spoken, Jia Jiu's face was already unexpectedly dignified.

The eldest princess of Lanling said: "That's right. Yizhong's child has been fat since he was a child, and he even grows meat when he drinks water, and he is more and more blessed when he reaches middle age. But because he was fat, in the eyes of those chaotic parties, he became a heinous person, and he was thrown into the cauldron and boiled alive! His wives and concubines and children were also raped first and then killed, and finally they were also made into dry food! ”

"However, every time there is a natural disaster, doesn't the imperial court reduce taxes and distribute relief? There are also red roots, but there are a lot of red roots in the Daomen, as long as there are Taoist temples in various places, they should be planted. ”

The eldest princess of Jiashan said: "What kind of Red Lotus Karma Fire Sect those people believe in, in previous years, those believers were just making trouble with the Taoist temple, and the Taoist temples that were smashed were not one or two!" As for the red roots, they thought the taste of the red roots was not good, and they were all ruined! ”

"All in ruin?"

"That's right. It was dug up, smashed with a hoe, and said it was a poisonous weed! Princess Changle said. The imperial court also promoted red lotus to various places, but in those dozen or so counties, all the red lotus distributed by the imperial court was secretly taken away to make wine, the relief grain was also swallowed, and the local Taoist temples were smashed again and again. ”

Jia Jiu couldn't believe his ears. On the contrary, it was Lin Daiyu, after hearing about it, she said in Jia Jiu's ear: "Second sister." I've heard this happen to my brothers. ”

"Life is even more strange than it seems. I've heard of this before, but today is the first time I've seen it. ”

Princess Changle said: "Then the Red Lotus Industry Fire Sect plans these. It's not a matter of a day or two. The man at the head was originally a scoundrel. originally did the work of his father, but he was very good at gambling and lustful, and he often couldn't make ends meet. Later, he entered the Red Lotus Fire Sect, and rose step by step in the sect before he stopped gambling. Now I know that this person is just plotting the world, so he no longer goes to the gambling house. ”

"And then? How did the imperial court deal with these people? ”

The eldest princess of Lanling said: "Not only conspired, but also cannibalized!" What else is there to say about this? The people who are not from the Red Lotus Karma Fire Sect in the area of Ping'an Prefecture have all been eaten by them. The imperial court simply opened 300,000 forbidden troops, plus 1 million Hunan troops. It was directly surrounded, either with a rain of arrows or set on fire. That kind of person, what to do with a living mouth. ”

Jia Jiu felt a little strange, but things had already happened, and people were dead, and he was helpless. Moreover, he did not understand the situation and could not make judgments.

Jia Jiu planned to wait until he returned to Yuqingshan to understand the whole story.

Princess Changle said: "In previous years, everyone always felt that those Diao people would be afraid of the majesty of the heavenly family and dare not do anything to us, but now we know that if someone really wants to do it, I am afraid that they will do it to us as soon as possible." Therefore, having food in hand is the most important thing. Without food, we can't even afford to support our guards, and who can protect us in times of crisis? People still have to rely on themselves. ”

"However, those salt and fertilizer Zhuangzi are not already in the hands of the imperial court......

The eldest princess of Lanling said: "That's not enough at all. Some people, once they gain power, will be public, full of villainous faces, that is, we want to get some salt and fertilizer, but also give them benefits. This salt fertilizer is not used once and for all. That's every year! If we bribe them every time, doesn't that mean that all the production of our Zhuangzi is in their hands? It's just that there was a lot of trouble between the father and the emperor at this time, and we thought that it would be good if the Daomen made this salt and fertilizer. As long as the price is not so outrageous, everything is negotiable. ”

There is no one in this land who does not care about food.

Jia Jiu originally thought that this salt fertilizer would be like a columbian car, and finally be hidden by the dust of history, but he didn't expect that because of the unique political environment of Daqi, salt fertilizer not only left seeds in this land, but also began to take root.

Jia Jiu said: "Your Highnesses haven't thought about getting another salt and fat Zhuangzi by yourself?" ”

The eldest princess of Lanling said: "We have also inquired about Yanfei Zhuangzi. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the Lin family has accumulated for a hundred years and saved how many fields and Zhuangzi? Daomen has been in business for more than 2,000 years, which is why it has today's atmosphere. Which nameplate are we? With our ideas, where can we afford to make salt and fertilizer? We can only wait for the door to come out, and then find a way to get some cheap salt fertilizer. ”

Jia Jiu thought for a while and said, "Since the world has encountered various disasters in the past few years, I think you have a comprehensive consideration in your hearts. If my Dao Sect really gets up, I'll intercede for a few people. Of course, it is impossible to get enough salt fertilizer every year, but if you get a batch of salt fertilizer every year or two, it is still possible. In addition, salt fertilizer cannot be used all year round, which will hurt the ground. ”

Princess Changle said: "I also know this. In the end, it is the essence of the sea, and it is always a little inconvenient to get it to the ground, and it is right to use one year and stop for two years. ”

As he was talking, he heard someone outside report that Concubine Jin had asked Princess Changle to send a large plate of fresh lychees.

Princess Changle didn't want it, but the eldest princess of Lanling and the eldest princess of Jiashan were here, and lychees were a rare thing, so they had to ask someone to send them in.

Seeing the unhappy look on Princess Changle's face, the eldest princess of Lanling smiled: "Speaking of lychees, I remembered that when Jiu Yatou didn't go to Yuqing Mountain, before the lychees were ripe, she personally went to buy lychees with the sword, and then rushed back before sunset." At that time, Changle had endless lychees every day. Changle is also a filial person, and he has not sent it to the palace. ”

Lin Daiyuqi said: "Isn't it an example of the Daomen?" ”

Jia Jiu replied: "If I say that it was my Edgeworth who went out to buy it, I'm afraid that at that time, someone would ask me to buy lychees for them every day." If I honor the old lady and my father, I am naturally willing, but if I want to honor some people's girls, and even earn money for some people, I am not so idle. A sentence of Taoism can also save a lot of things. ”

Lin Daiyu said: "It turned out to be my sister's intention, but I don't know." ”

Jia Jiu said: "At that time, you were in filial piety, and you lived in the back, and it was not unusual to know. At that time, Baoyu was squeamish, and the old lady spoiled him again, if there was anything delicious, she would naturally share his share. But Baoyu is the most eccentric. He was reluctant to eat more of this kind of good food, and he didn't share it with his brothers and sisters, but it was spoiled by the girls in his house. There are even times when he spoils things and doesn't say anything, he doesn't know how to be grateful, and he even thinks that there are few things, which are not enough for the girls in his house. ”

The eldest princess of Lanling said: "It seems that the nine girls have suffered a lot of losses. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Yes." To this day, when I think about it, I am very tired of this cousin. He never regarded me and my third sister and fourth sister as sisters, and he never understood our situation, and asked us to pity the girl in his house! Did he ever think that those girls in his house, relying on his favor, even dared to give us serious ladies a look? So, I don't like my cousin. Even now, my father still remembers this nephew. ”

Jia Baoyu is Jia Zheng's only remaining son, compared to Jia Lan, Jia Baoyu is closer to Jia Yu, and compared to Jia Huan, Jia Baoyu's appearance is much better. In addition, Jia Baoyu is a descendant in the end, and it is one layer higher than Jia Huan, so when Jia Yu thinks of his younger brother's family, he will think of Jia Baoyu as soon as possible. Even if Mrs. Jia Zhengwang did a lot of things at the beginning, Jia Yu hated these two people to death, but he never angered the following little ones. (To be continued.) )
