Chapter 54
Lulong City, Zhaowang Palace.
"The King." Zheng Gao said cautiously, "The divination has come to fruition, and the Queen Mother is unwell, but the current residence is a mistake and should be avoided." ”
Yin Changying's expression was faint: "Since this is the case, I will ask the Queen Mother to move to the palace of the old capital." ”
Zheng Gao and low head should respond.
He knew that although Yin Changying's mood at the moment was not bad, it was definitely not good.
The dignified Empress Dowager Zhaoguo, the king's biological mother, was crazy about a male pet, even to the point of obeying this person.
Although men love women, people have great desires. Women from ordinary people's families can remarry after being widowed, and the queen mother can't even find a male favorite, right?
It's just that the queen mother can raise a male pet, she can have a mistress, and even get a half-official position for her mistress. Yin Changying will definitely turn a blind eye, don't you see that he didn't even take the private relationship between the Queen Mother and Xiangbang seriously? It's nothing more than sympathy for her mother, since this matter can make her happy and not affect the government, then let her go!
But she was pregnant, but she didn't take medicine and had a miscarriage, but wanted to give birth to the child. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, and even fake the results of divination, insisting on returning to the hometown of Zhaoguo, this is too much.
Zheng Gao is also a witch, so he clearly knows that the male pet did not rely on the power of "witch" to confuse the Empress Dowager Song, to be precise, he has no special ability at all. Purely with a special talent in some aspect, the Empress Dowager Song was fascinated, nothing more.
This is also the reason why Yin Changying has been watching from the wall.
If his mother was harmed by someone's magic, of course he couldn't ignore it.
But her mother herself has this hopeless virtue, as long as a man can satisfy her lust, she is no different from the other party's puppet, and Yin Changying simply let it go.
Zheng Gao, as Yin Changying's most trusted attendant, naturally didn't want the king to last too long, otherwise the life of those close to them would be very difficult. Fortunately, he had a follow-up move, so he said cautiously: "King, the princess is here." Then he carefully offered the trap bird.
Yin Changying took out the silk silk from the bird's belly, swept her eyes carelessly, and the corners of her lips suddenly hooked up a smile.
It doesn't look like joy or sarcasm.
Zheng Gao happened to see Yin Changying's expression, and immediately lowered his head, but wondered in his heart: What did the princess write that made the king's mood change in an instant?
In fact, it's nothing, Yin Ji is just expressing the depression in her heart.
Yang Xiu's performance is indeed in place, if a person who is not familiar with the world, or does not know the inside story of Fan County, listens to it, he will definitely sympathize with them, and feel that the cinnabar mine is indeed a great burden for them.
But Yin Ji won't.
When she casually used her spiritual power to sweep Yang Xiu's team before, she had already discovered that although Lei Dong's wife, Da Yang, had a fine linen texture on her coat and upper, the lining of her underwear and shoes was made of silk brocade.
Fan County did not produce silk, and the neighboring Min County did not produce much silk fabrics before the Qiangshui was cured.
As far as Yin Cheng knows, even the Liu family, who is rich and powerful, has only a few satin clothes for Liu He's wife and daughter, and they usually mainly use fine linen and animal fur.
Only the Zhao royal family, or Jiang Zhong, the Marquis of Changxin, who is himself a wealthy person, will use silk and satin as a lining.
Of course, rich and noble families can't afford to buy silk fabrics, but the lining is different from the outerwear, and many people wear the outerwear for more than ten days, or even a month or two. Silk fabrics are valuable, can not be screwed can not be pulped washed, in case ten days and half a month can not meet the sunny day, can not dry, what to do?
This is why Shaofu transferred one hundred and twenty people from the weaving room to serve Yin Hui, and Biao Wanzi still felt that it was not enough.
Yin Hui's clothes, from the inside to the outside, have to be changed every day, and if they are stained, they have to change several sets a day. However, these clothes are expensive and difficult to wash, especially in winter. It can only be done box by box, and then it is washed when the sun is good.
Of course, everyone knows that silk is light and thin, and it is comfortable to wear, but there is no money to make so many linings, and many people don't use silk to make underwear. I don't have to wear silk today, but I don't know how to sleep tomorrow, and I can't sleep.
The Da Yang family can wear silk underwear, and even use silk as the inner lining of shoes, which shows luxury, and also reflects the wealth of the Lei family, even better than the Liu family.
Although Liu He is not greedy, Liu He has money in his own family, and the Zhao royal family has never forgotten Liu He, and the rewards never stop every year, and the merchants also have a lot of filial piety.
Even so, Liu He, who is too powerful, is not as rich as Lei Dong, so where did Lei Dong's money come from? Do you still need to think about it, of course it's smuggling cinnabar!
Because of this, Yin Xiu sighed to Yin Changying in the letter that Yang Xiu is a smart person.
She knows that the cinnabar mine is not endless, but the greed of the human heart is.
Yin Ji believes that the cinnabar mine in Chen County is indeed mined very deeply, and when it reaches the point where there is nothing to mine, Yang Xiu is also true, because she doesn't need to deceive people, and she can't deceive people. As long as Yin Ji went to the mine to take a look, she couldn't hide anything from her.
But the Lei family's inventory is not much, it is definitely fake, even if there is a certain authenticity, the reason is not the Zhao royal family's request, and the Lei family's own smuggling accounts for the majority.
But Yang Xiu must not say these words.
Cinnabar is a special offer for the royal family, and even the ministers can only wait for King Zhao's reward to obtain it. Although the merchant must have goods there, it is already a well-known thing, but if the Lei family makes it clear that the carriage and horses want to sell cinnabar, it will be self-defeating.
On the one hand, it is the demand of the Zhao royal family, and on the other hand, it is the greed of the clansmen for huge profits.
Since Yang Xiu is the head of the family, she can't prohibit her clansmen from selling ores privately, otherwise she will be overthrown and ousted in an instant.
And Yin Xiu's arrival gave Yang Xiu a chance.
Yang Xiu's purpose is also very simple, that is, he wants to take the line of Yin Hui, if Yin Xiu is soft-hearted, and can say that Yin Changying can change the worship of Fan County from cinnabar to gold, silver or grain, it is naturally the best. Because Fan County is poor and well-known, even if it is a normal tribute, the imperial court will be relieved.
Even if you can't do this, it doesn't matter, as long as you win Yin Xi's favor, the Lei family will fall in the future, and Yang Xiu may be able to rely on this relationship to get back a life.
This made Yin Cheng sigh with emotion.
Even if Yang Xiu's daily life is not luxurious and rich, it will never be as simple as the day she saw Yin Xi, but in order to impress Yin Xi, people can pretend.
It's just that Yang Xiu never expected that things would be bad for her cousin, who she didn't look down on at all.
