8 Taoyao Hall
"It's just that the huge family business of the Jin Dynasty Mansion is all the prince's sacrifice to die, and he shot it down with a knife and a gun, when the prince is there, don't say that you will be rewarded with half a year's income, even if the entire Zhuangzi is rewarded to you, presumably, even the emperor will not object, but now..." Lin Mu'er's tone was a little choked, he tucked the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and continued: "But now, I am just ordered to marry into the Jin Palace, and I took over the family property that the prince exchanged for his life, how can I ignore it, and still reward people with the blood and sweat of the prince, To fulfill your own generous reputation? Before she finished speaking, Lin Mu'er was already breathless and tear-stained.
The whole conference hall was strangely quiet, and when the Fu Ye on the side heard Lin Mu'er say this, he also smiled and was surprised, and said secretly in his heart: "What a sacrifice to forget death, the mother has a gun and a stick in her words, and in one sentence she scolded these Diao slaves who gnawed the master's flesh and drank the master's blood!"
Lan Xue was also slightly moved, her eyes looked at Lin Mu'er a little more respectful, and she was secretly happy in her heart, and she said the sore spot in a few words, don't look at the princess's young age, this is really not easy to say!
"That's it!" Mother Xie helped Lin Mu'er sit down, Lin Mu'er said slowly: "You stewards do your best for the palace, I just got married, I have to cut your rewards, it's really unbearable, it's better like this, since the emperor rewarded the prince, I will enter the palace to ask the emperor for an idea, if the emperor allows, I, the princess, will also be happy to be a good person, everyone is happy, how about it?"
"Niangniang, this can't be helped, this can't be helped......" When the stewards heard this, they immediately panicked, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Niangniang, how dare such a trivial matter alarm the Holy Judge, absolutely not!"
"Niangniang, please think twice......"
The corners of Lin Mu'er's mouth pulled out a sneering smile: These people still know how to measure, and they know that if they make trouble in front of the emperor, there will be no good fruit to eat, don't say that they are rewarded, they are so scavenging for oil and water, and they are slaves and bullying the master, and the emperor is extraordinarily generous if he does not reward them with dozens of boards!
"So what do you say?" Lin Mu'er was still in a dilemma.
"This ......" For a while, the stewards kneeling outside couldn't speak, it was a matter of their own interests, and everyone didn't dare to express their opinions casually.
"Niangniang, my Lao Xia doesn't care about other people, my life is given by the prince, and I can also give us the Jin Palace's errand, which is a great blessing for my Lao Xia, we don't care about any reward, everything depends on Niangniang!" The neutral man said loudly.
Lin Mu'er was a little surprised, and after thinking about it, this Xia steward was afraid that he was also one of the few stewards who were loyal to the palace, so he understood, and said along the steps of the Xia steward: "Xia steward said this, it really makes this princess don't know what to say." What do you say? ”
"This, this..." Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't dare to come forward for a while.
"Of course, you are on an errand for the palace, and the palace will definitely not wronged everyone, but the reward is as generous as usual, and this princess will never dare to call the shots! However, this princess dares to promise that at least you will have no worries in your old age. I don't know, what about the other stewards? Lin Mu'er struck while the iron was hot and continued.
At this point, even if they had all kinds of opinions in their hearts, these stewards had no choice but to grit their teeth and say: "Everything is up to the mother!"
"Good!" Lin Mu'er stood up and said with a smile: "Since everyone has no objection, Master Fu, in the future, you will report to me according to the situation of your stewards and distribute it as appropriate!"
"Yes! The old slave will definitely handle it impartially, and he will not let the stewards be wronged. Fu Ye arched his hand and said with a smile.
Lin Mu'er nodded slightly: "Of course, if there are any difficulties in the future, as long as the Jin Palace's mansion can help, this princess will definitely not stand idly by!"
"Thank you, Princess!" The matter has come to this point, it has become a certainty, and even if the stewards hate it so much, they can only kowtow and thank it.
Lin Mu'er took a deep breath and looked at Mother Xie on the side, Mother Xie nodded at Lin Mu'er with a smile, and Lin Mu'er also smiled slightly: The first Liwei was a success! Such a big palace, mixed with fish and dragons, he is young, has no roots and no foundation, so he can only pull out the emperor's banner to open the way for himself, punish Diao slaves, and pave the way to establish authority, so that the future life will be more comfortable.
Lan Xue looked at the hour and said, "It's not too early, if you don't have anything to say, just retreat first!"
"Niangniang, the slave family has something to report!" A soft, feminine voice.
Lin Mu'er was stunned: Why is there a woman in charge? Then he asked, "Who is this?"
"The slave family is Cao's mother in Taoyao Pavilion."
"Taoyao Pavilion?" Lin Mu'er was a little blindsided for a while.
Lan Xue on the side saw it, and explained in Lin Mu'er's ear in a low voice: "Niangniang, this is Qinglou's mother." As soon as she heard this, Lin Mu'er looked at Lan Xue with an incredulous face: "How can the palace have such a livelihood?"
Lan Xue explained with some embarrassment: "This is a long story, the slave and maid slowly told you, the hour is not early, why don't you listen to Cao's mother after finishing your meal?"
Qingcheng on the side muttered a little unhappily: "What's so good about the livelihood of this Qinglou, and I'm not afraid of polluting my mother's ears!"
Although the voice was not loud, everyone in this conference hall listened with bated breath, so that it was estimated that they could be heard outside the screen, and for a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Mother Xie glared at Qingcheng fiercely, and Qingcheng pursed her mouth a little aggrieved, not daring to speak anymore.
Lin Mu'er thought for a while and said, "Even Qinglou's mother is also the steward of my palace, Qingcheng, go and compensate Cao's mother!"
Qingcheng was stunned, her little face was a little red, her mouth was tight, and tears were about to flow out.
"How can this make the green orange girl the person next to the mother, but I can't help it, this is going to torture the concubine!" Cao's mother seemed to be frightened and refused again and again.
Mother Xie on the side looked at Qingcheng stunned over there, so she gently pushed her, made a look, and asked her to go quickly. Qingcheng held his breath, walked to the screen, and made a hasty salute: "Qingcheng lost his words, Mother Cao should not blame!" Without waiting for any reaction from the other side, he stood back in a huff.
"I can't do it." Cao's mother outside the screen was busy returning the gift.
"Okay, if the other stewards have nothing to do, go back first!" Lin Mu'er didn't have the patience to listen to Cao's mother's excuse there, and continued: "Mother Cao, it's not too early, you have lunch in the house."
"Yes, yes, everything is at the behest of the mother." Cao's mother couldn't help but be a little overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked her, Qinglou's mother, she could have a meal in the palace, and it was enough for her to go back and show off for half a day.
Lin Mu'er moved back to Weiyueju, and when she arrived at Weiyueju, Lin Mu'er found that it was only half a day's work, and Zuo Nuange was taken care of, and the small living room outside the bedroom was connected to Zuo Nuange, and now it is opened, and it seems to be much more spacious and transparent, but in the end, the time is short, only a desk and chair and a chaise longue are simply placed, Lin Mu'er walked in and walked around, and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, Mother Xie has time to go to the warehouse to pick up some pen, ink, paper and inkstones, and by the way, pick a few elegant calligraphy and paintings to hang on!" ”
"Yes!" Mother Xie replied.
"Well, this window is good." Lin Mu'er looked at the oval flower window on the south side of Zuo Nuan Pavilion with some surprise, outside the window was a small piece of autumn lotus swaying in the wind, and the fragrance of the lotus flowers was refreshing, it really smelled very good.
"If the mother likes the lotus, there are a lot of them in the garden, it is the best time to bloom, and the mother can go and see when she is free." Lan Xue saw Lin Mu'er's face happy, and couldn't help but speak.
"Well, that's definitely going to be a look!" Lin Mu'er's eyes were bright, and her face was yearning, how could she still have the deep scheming in the council hall just now, she was obviously a playful and simple little girl.
"Miss, lunch is ready." Hongxing walked over and reminded.
"Hmm" Lin Mu'er nodded, sat down at the dining table, and said, "Lan Xue, tell me what's going on in Taoyao Pavilion."
Hongxing was busy with vegetables, and Lan Xue said slowly on the side: "Taoyao Pavilion is not an ordinary green building, it is rewarded by the emperor."
"Oh?" Lin Mu'er was a little stunned, the emperor even admired the green building?
"It's because the girls in the Qinglou are not ordinary girls, most of them are the daughters of the defeated enemy city defense officials and generals, and some of them are the daughters of my courtiers." Lan Xue's dutiful explanation.
"In this way, the girls in Taoyao Pavilion used to be from eunuch families?" Lin Mu'er asked.
"Yes, so whether it is from the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or the appearance and temperament, it is not comparable to the average Qinglou girl. Therefore, those who can go to Taoyao Pavilion are either today's literati or dignitaries, and ordinary people really can't get into the eyes of the girls in Taoyao Pavilion. ”
Lin Mu'er listened silently with food, didn't say anything, and motioned for Lan Xue to continue.
Lan Xue thought for a while and continued: "Although Taoyao Pavilion is a green building, the girls in it are all selling their arts."
"Then why did the emperor give the Taoyao Pavilion to the Jin Palace?" Lin Mu'er was a little puzzled.
Lan Xue shook her head: "The slave maid is not very clear, I only heard that the prince interceded for these female dependents at that time, and the emperor rewarded the Taoyao Pavilion to the prince."
Lin Mu'er smiled slightly bitterly, how could it be so simple, no matter what, these are the daughters of the officials defending the city of the enemy country, and they are all young ladies from large families, but now that they are here, they have become a girl in the Qinglou who is a good man. King Jin is the general of the town of Liang, how many women in this Taoyao Pavilion are in a situation that is due to him, how can they not be resentful, how can they not instigate people's hearts? Now, the emperor has rewarded the Taoyao Pavilion to the King of Jin, a Taoyao Pavilion, for the Liang Kingdom, it is a green building, it is a happy scene, but for the enemy country, it is a great shame! And for the King of Jin on the battlefield, I am afraid that it can only be a talisman......
This emperor's reward for his favored brother is really meaningful......
