Chapter 291
"Why!" Bang, bang, the broken porcelain all over the ground is in a mess, Ouyang Yun just had a smile for two days, and before the person who caught the eldest prince heard rumors outside that the slut had actually made a great contribution, this is not the most important thing, in essence, the eldest prince let himself go back to his parents' house to maintain the relationship, which is not a difficult matter, the problem is that the eldest prince can get along with that slut better, plus those cheap aunts in the backyard are privately spreading, without that slut's meritorious service, there is no such thing as his own today.
"Ridiculous, full of nonsense." There was another crisp sound, and another porcelain corpse was added to the ground, Ouyang Yun's mind was full of the whispered and sneering eyes of the people outside, "Those cheap hooves are jealous of my favor." ”
Mama stood in the corner of the room silently watching Ouyang Yun start to convulsion again, this movement is too loud, it will only be detrimental to himself, not only is the eldest prince mistakenly thinking that Ouyang Yun is dissatisfied with maintaining the relationship with the Wing King, but the aunts in the backyard are even more happy to see his achievements and wait to see his bad luck.
Ouyang Yun has no brains and still doesn't remember to eat, probably because there is no concubine in the house, so she is too carried away by herself, and the qiē she taught before is in vain, and her grandmother sighs and worries about her own hard life.
Ouyang Yun, who was tired, sat on the chair sulking, her face was fierce and her eyes were fierce, and she looked like she was choosing someone to devour.
"What's so good about that slut, I don't know how many men I have been in contact with in the barracks, and I don't know how shameless I am, why do you ask me to contact him, I'm afraid that it will stain my eyes." Ouyang Yun hated it the most, saying that he was inferior to the Wing King everywhere, and the words he said were naturally harsh.
Mama listened to Ouyang Yun's foul language. It's a shame that the main lord is not in the capital, otherwise there is no need to wait for the day to become a concubine, and the eldest prince will not be able to spare Ouyang Yun first.
The eldest prince has already said it very clearly. The reason why Ouyang Yun gave a little sweetness is that his true meaning is still in the Wing King, there are more people who want to win over the Wing King, Ouyang Yun, as the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, has a nominal sisterhood with the Wing King, although both of them ignore each other, and Ouyang Yun takes the lead in terms of friendship.
Ouyang Yun only got the sweetness for a few days and wanted to soar to the sky, it was really a small family that remained in his bones, and it was difficult to get into the hall of elegance. The position of sitting on the side concubine is for the sake of the prime minister's face, and now it is the end.
Ouyang Yun's mouth, whose brain was covered by Xiao Li, was idle for a moment, and the words of cursing the Wing King continued one after another. Even the style of the market shrew has been used, which shows how undesirable it is to the Wing King.
Mama listened while filtering out the unbearable swear words, thinking about whether Ouyang Yun still had any salvation, and whether she needed to make a lot of effort to wake up Ouyang Yun who was in a daydream.
Ouyang Yun did this. It is difficult to ensure that the big mess will follow in the footsteps of the concubine Yuan. As a subordinate, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be implicated, and he is tired of it from the bottom of his heart.
Mama first started to persuade her, and when Ouyang Yun was tired of drinking tea to quench her thirst, she opened her mouth and persuaded: "Miss, don't be impatient, think about the fate of the Yuan family before, why bother yourself, and get angry with your body." ”
"Let the outsiders say it, there are a lot of pieces of meat, and it is the best policy to recapture the heart of the eldest prince." Mama is bitter and reasonable. "They are jealous of the young lady, and they don't have a good family to support the big prince. The top priority is to share the worries of the eldest prince, pull the prime minister's mansion into his camp, and go back to his parents' house to walk around. ”
"No matter how much Miss doesn't like the Wing King, don't show it too obviously, the Wing King's power is not what it used to be, Mo Yin caused trouble to the eldest prince because of Miss Wing's targeting of the Wing King, and it will be difficult for the eldest prince to protect Miss's life at that time." Mama is not scaring Ouyang Yun, this is well-founded, the fate of the Yuan family's concubine is not because of the Wing King.
"Miss should relax her mind and make friends with the Wing King, even the superficial sisterly harmony can bring benefits to the eldest prince, Miss has paid a lot for the eldest prince, the eldest prince will repay the favor, the position of the concubine is not impossible, it depends on how the young lady chooses." Mama paused to give Ouyang Yun time to think about the problem.
"The people outside are waiting to see that Miss and the Wing King are not on good terms and have an incident, so there is a reason to arrange right and wrong in front of the eldest prince, no matter who started the matter, the young lady will eventually be pushed to the mouth of the storm, and it is not impossible for the eldest prince to take Miss under the knife in order to save his reputation." Mama clarified the stakes and hoped that Ouyang Yun would still be saved, don't be carried away by the small profit in front of her for a while, and don't know what her surname is.
"Even if the eldest prince is thinking about the love of husband and wife, and is open to the young lady, the little milk is no longer as favored as before, and the eldest prince may marry a young lady from a wealthy family as a concubine, just because such a woman is the best for the eldest prince." Mama threw out assumptions that were unfavorable to Ouyang Yun.
"Miss, why don't you wait until the eldest prince ascends to the throne, Miss for the sake of the eldest prince and the disgusted winged king, help the eldest prince, and finally trample the winged king under his feet as the mother of a country, why not be happy, a winged king can be flattened and kneaded as much as the young lady wants, just endure it for a few years, the winged king has his own mansion and will not often appear in front of the young lady, and no one dares to look down on the young lady anymore if he wins with one move." Mama is painting a flatbread for Ouyang Yun fragrant and sweet, whether the matter is really as appealed, it depends on the ability of the eldest prince, she can't care about these things as a subordinate, as long as she appeases Ouyang Yun, who is kind and angry, the effect of the combination of sticks and sweet dates has been tried and tested repeatedly.
"Miss think about it, there are many people in the backyard outside who are waiting for Miss to make a fool of themselves, don't make trouble for the Prime Minister's Mansion and make trouble for yourself, the eldest prince's patience is limited, just look at the Yuan concubine to know a thing or two, Miss is young and plans for her future." In order to live a long time, Mama swallowed and didn't say anything, I don't know how much Ouyang Yun listened to after saying so much, it's really a headache, there is such a brainless master, how much debt he owed in his previous life, and he came to pay it back in this life.
Ouyang Yun was moved by the bright future depicted by Mama, and regained her senses, her mind was full of pictures of the Wing King trampled under her feet and tortured, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily rose, and she seemed to be in a very happy mood.
"What Mama said is reasonable, I am confused and shouldn't have listened to the rumors of the broken mouth, which has caused a big disaster." Ouyang Yun eased her face, and she relied on her grandmother very much.
"Miss can figure it out." Mama's hanging heart finally settled. Fortunately, Ouyang Yun is still saved, and he is not in vain to waste his lips and tongue, and he knows how to reason and move with affection.
"The more generous the young lady is, the more she can reflect the demeanor of the housewife, and everything must be the first of the prince. Don't be petty, you have to think of a perfunctory reason for today's trouble, so as not to be suspicious when the prince asks without answering. Mama ordered someone to come in and clean up, and took the utensils from the warehouse that should be filled, and knocked on the people in the courtyard to finish the work.
Ouyang Yun's excuse was very simple, saying that she accidentally lost her mind and knocked over the teacup, and hit the table when she suddenly stood up after being hot. The cups and plates on the table accidentally fell to the ground, and only then was a lot of broken porcelain cleaned up, and as for the truth, anyone who is smart has heard a little rumor.
Mu Zhao showed a non-caring attitude. Ouyang Yun had already planned before he entered the door, and the reason for such a clumsy was just that he wanted not to pursue it, so why did he need to ask about such a trivial matter, just turn a blind eye to it. The important thing is that Ouyang Yun is obedient enough and has the value of use. It's okay to pretend to pamper some.
Thinking about this era of respecting men and taking husbands as heaven, women only rely on their husbands, and the three from the four virtues are simple and clear, of course, the wing king is a special case, except for it.
Ouyang Yun followed her grandmother to learn the means of serving people, especially focusing on boudoir pleasures, and she desperately hoped that she would be pregnant. gave birth to the eldest son and had a snuggling.
The reason why Mu Zhao is willing to put more effort into Ouyang Yun is that Ouyang Yun has changed her sex and learned to be gentle and gentle with others. It's not bad to have such a caring person to serve him.
Ouyang Yun listened to Mama Xun's words and got a lot of cheap on the eldest prince, and her face was always shy, adding a touch of seductiveness to her beauty, and she studied harder and harder, picking up everything she had never learned to see before.
Ouyang Yun's pride stimulated the aunts in the backyard, and they started the battle with their own means, and the lesson of being blamed before was still fresh in their memory, and they didn't dare to do too much, so they didn't deal with Ouyang Yun directly, but used a roundabout but direct way to get favored.
For the tricks played by women in the backyard, as long as they don't cross the line, Mu Zhao can be properly tolerated, and occasionally rest in the aunt's room.
It took four days to arrive at the Imperial City of Weiguo, and the Xi Dynasty and his party lived in the palace, and the remaining 30,000 soldiers were arranged to stay in the guard camp except for the personal guards.
The people on the street flocked to the street to see when they learned that Mu Jun had returned, and no one showed fear on their faces, just because they were also Mu people now, and the boss promised to distribute the same points, and many people were happy to build new houses and large tracts of land, although the upper and lower fields were divided into a few medium fields, and the average family had them, not to mention how warm they were to find good things that could not be found with lanterns, and they were particularly friendly to the arriving Mu Jun.
Mu Jun was warmly welcomed by the people of a place, and his mood was complicated, in essence, they were invaders and enemies, and it was unimaginable for every soldier to be so popular.
Xi Chao rested for a day to regain his energy, and invited Xu Yan and the two to start talking about business, and one by one the measures have been written into manuscripts and implemented step by step, and they will develop in a good direction.
Xu Yan and the others reported on what kind of affairs they had done in the past few days, and where there were any doubts, and this statement had not ended for two hours.
The Wing King's measures were a little very bold, and Xu Yan and the others looked at the preliminary framework, frowned slightly, and put forward their own proposals on individual matters.
Xu Mian went to the library to read books early, Hongrui dragged Ah Jiu to see how the secret path was repaired, the underground renovation of the palace should have a prototype for so long, and then the group of copyists left by Yan Jun had to keep an eye on it, that was the first-class henchman around the prince of Yan Kingdom, don't deceive the master.
The transformation of the underground will inevitably cause movement, and the Xi Dynasty will take precautions early in the morning, give reasonable and legitimate explanations to the people left behind by the Yan Kingdom, and seal a few unused secret passages, as for which ones, when these people return to the Yan brothers, no one will inquire at will and use their brains.
Xi Chao chatted with Xu Yan and the others for an afternoon before letting them go, and called the officials selected by the city to come and report, this is another hour, and it is time to rest after that.
Dealing with the small events left behind, the Xi Dynasty issued a decree, the fief that belonged to her here was renamed the Acropolis, the city guards wanted to keep the report, and the registration of those who wanted to retire and go home to farm was paid another silver, and the miscellaneous matters took two days, and then all the guards and Mu troops moved. Grab your tools and go to work in the allotted farmland.
The old man who knew the fields for advice on the matter of the wasteland went down to the fields to discuss what kind of crops were suitable for planting, even fruit trees. There are also some people who have been pumped out to dig canals and repair water wheels, etc., and there are a lot of work that needs to be repaired or repaired in detail.
A large sum of money went out like flowing water, Xi Chao looked through the account books every day, and had other thoughts, the silver will not be long before it will be empty, and he has to find a way to make more, and he can't sit and stare dryly after eating the mountain.
At this time, the tide of the tide came to the hunters who were familiar with the surrounding mountains. Asking which areas are often infested with bandits, the idea of suppressing bandits arose.
The bandits who defended the country were obedient, and there was no place to do it during the war. Picking up some small business to do, in the case of local officials who are not fleeing but fleeing to death, some merchants and ordinary people who have no way to ask for help have no choice but to admit to planting, and there are so many ruthless bandits who hurt their lives. Most people don't want to do too much, leaving a way out for themselves.
Shiochao looked at the map. Mark the places where bandits appear, call in personal guards to prepare to go out to suppress bandits, and those who are careless about people's lives do not need to leave their hands, and the others are tied up and taken down the mountain, and those who want to go home have no home to find a place to settle down, and those who resist will be killed without mercy.
The guards were clear in their hearts, and the purpose of sweeping up the bandits was to steal silver for the Wing King, and how could a bandit not have any valuable belongings. For this living guard, there are a hundred willing.
The Xi Dynasty warned the guards not to be negligent and to look down on the enemy, relying on their own battles, some of their skills are higher than the sky. If she really wants to come back to the military regulations to deal with it because she lost her life because of the bandits, she let the guards be bandits, and if she has experience, she can only blame herself for being careless.
The guards immediately promised to complete the task, would not smear the face of the Wing King, protect themselves and retreat, and knew in their hearts that they would lose face to the bandits, and they would lose face and have no face.
The Xi Dynasty is not at ease to send the secret guard to follow all the way, and he must not show up until the situation is critical, which is also one of the training of the guards, hoping to have a good result.
"Why are you always plotting to steal other people's things?" As soon as Xu Mian entered the door, he heard such exciting news, and he was very speechless about the Wing King's hobby of robbing the rich and helping the poor.
"If the bandits don't get rid of them, it's the people who suffer." The Xichao gave the most reasonable reason.
Xu Mian listened to the winged king say high-sounding words without changing his color, and he was suddenly exhausted, and the winged king could always find a reason to make people speechless.
"I can't control it, and it's not robbing me anyway." Xu Mian said the same thing and teased each other.
"According to your thick stack plan, it will be the head of the Year of the Monkey?" Xu Mian is a little homesick, whether the old man at home is doing well or not.
"Go back in June, and leave the rest of the small things to Xu Yan and the others." Xichao is used to shaking his hands and being in charge, and he is not ambiguous about who uses whom.
"That'll do." Xu Mian also thought that if the Wing King couldn't pull away and go back, he would go back first, and now the Wing King had set a date, and he would take care of him on the way back.
"The class teacher returns to the court?" Xu Mian asked with a smile, King Yi is now a great hero of Mu Kingdom, and such a good thing that is worshiped by the people must not be missed.
"Then what's not a teacher?" Xi Chao laughed, "Mu Jun is a border pass, and he should go back to the border pass to garrison and not go to Beijing, at the moment, there are no people here, and the army needs to be stationed, and when it comes to the division, it is also called the forbidden army." ”
Xu Mian was right to think about it, so he said: "When 10,000 people came, they were less than 5,000 when they returned, and these people were swept to two places by you, one to the west and one to the rear. ”
"The guards stay here?" The guards are now scattered among the Mu army, and it is not easy for these people to return to Beijing, and Xu Mian will find out the reason given by King Yi not to give the guards to go back openly.
"Transfer some of it back." Xi Chao is reluctant to reveal all the hole cards of the guards, and it is convenient to keep a hand in the future.
"Want to go to another border pass?" Xu Mian guessed a little uncertain, so he asked.
"Hmm." It is necessary to understand the specific situation, and the tide has a plan to go.
"If you are delayed on the road, it will be August when you return to Beijing, right?" Xu Mian roughly estimated the time to go back, "Won't this year's imperial examination be held?" ”
"I don't know." Xi Chao didn't think about the imperial examination, the business at hand was not done, and he thought too much to increase his troubles.
"The students are dying in a hurry, and the number of students is getting bigger and bigger year after year." Xu Mian himself didn't need the imperial examination, and there was a little bit of schadenfreude in his voice, "There is also martial arts, and the two things add up to the best of the two." ”
"If you want to open it, you have to take the imperial examination." Who makes people more, the martial arts have to be pushed back for the sake of safety, and the Xi Dynasty has to discuss with Mu Jinming before deciding.
"Speaking of the imperial examination, it reminds me of the Xu family." Xu Mian winked at King Yi, "The Xu family has students of the right age, and now that you have become an imperial businessman, this imperial examination is an opportunity, and how many businessmen are squeezing their heads." "There has been no shortage of relationships through the back door since ancient times.
"The emperor and businessmen have two empty positions, coinciding with the imperial examination, you see, the court is going to fight for the head of the bloodstream, who makes the businessmen make money like flowing water, and the officials eat, drink, and respect the filial piety like flowing water, the two hit it off, and the typical collusion between officials and businessmen." Xu Mian has the mentality of having fun again.
"If you don't choose, the Xu family will definitely become a thorn in the eye of many businessmen, and the Xu family should be prepared for the dilemma of everyone, don't be dragged into the water by the Xu family." Xu Mian was worried that the Xu family would not be able to hold on to the Wing King to beg the Wing King, and the relationship between the Wing King and Xu Chenlin was enough to take advantage of it.
"Or do you secretly support one?" Xi Chao is thinking about the future of the Xu family after becoming dominant, "I don't want to sort out the intricacies behind the businessman, it's too annoying, and it's also a matter to choose someone who has no background and is afraid of using his own banner." ”
"That is, who let you wear many hats, how many courtiers are in the position of the household department, and you are in the election of the imperial merchants, it is difficult to ensure that you will not be criticized, and the excerpts to impeach you must be piled up." Xu Mian saw that the Winged King was embarrassed and couldn't do anything, he was just a doctor, soft-spoken, and he didn't know how to do business, so he couldn't help the Winged King.
The household department must not have anything to do with the imperial merchants on the surface, as for the secret, as long as the hidden work is done, it can be done in any way.
"Nobody's on hand." What the Xi Dynasty lacks is manpower, and there are too few credible people, so why not screen it in the self-secret defense? Maybe there are one or two smart ones, let the Xu family take a place to familiarize themselves with it first, and they won't be tied up in the future?
"If you don't just pick a merchant with a clean background, you can take care of the heirs of his family to participate in the imperial examination, and this relationship should be used by you." Xu Mian frowned when he said that, feeling that this method was full of loopholes and was not advisable.
"Forget it, this matter is not urgent, you didn't say it to me, my method may not be effective." Xu Mian hurriedly retracted his immature insights.
"Well, I'm in a hurry on the road." Xi Chaozhi is at the moment, and he has nothing to do with the superfluous things, maybe Mu Jinming has a way, and he will send the news back to ask.
"The people left by Yan Jun to copy the book, can they finish copying it before we leave?" Hurry up and get out, staying here will become a hidden danger, Xu Mian doesn't believe in the virtues of the Yan people, especially these people are the henchmen of the Yan brothers.
"Two and a half months, it's a bit difficult." Xi Chao raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking about how to deal with this group of people.
"Will you go back and come back?" Xu Mian remembered that many books and treasures in the palace were priceless objects, and it was difficult to protect them from being targeted.
"If you want to come back, you have to start spring next year, and the time limit for the imperial examination will be extended, and a series of people will be almost the same, and by the way, there will be a spring festival, and it will have to be postponed." Xi Chao had a big head when he thought about it, "The plan can't catch up with the changes, and the time will be set." ”
"If you want to take the medical book back, choose a few volumes, it will be inconvenient on the road." was remembered, and the Xi Dynasty was also afraid that the books would be damaged.
"Otherwise, I'll pick out a few copies and have plenty of time anyway." Xu Mian also knew the importance of the original book, and held it hot in his hand.
"You can do it." Xi Chao didn't care about these, "There is a chance to go to the city, and some people have no money to heal, so they can save it, and they are not far behind." ”
"Okay, you're going to be a good person." Xu Mian said with a smile, "The people of the country must provide you with you in the future, and be merciful and compassionate to regenerate your parents." (To be continued......)
