When Xiao Nuan raised his head, everyone looked at it curiously.

Her appearance is really different from Fang Cai. Her nose is higher, her lips are thicker, the corners of her eyes are opener, and her eyebrows are thicker.

However, if you look closely, her face is slightly stiff, and it is still a little awkward. Emperor Jianlong can now be sure that the person who entered the palace to give him cotton clothes was Qin Rizhan and not Chen Xiaonuan. His mood calmed down slightly, and he became curious about Xiao Nuan's mask, "You say a few words, learn Qin Rizhan's emphasis." ”

"Yes, please take a pill that changes your voice." Xiao Nuan took a pill and said after a while, "Holy Lord, three years ago, when my mother came out of the Chen family with her courtiers and Xiaocao in desperation, she only had a dozen taels of silver on her. When the three courtiers rushed home from the capital, they were angrily scolded by their grandparents and had to use the only money they had to buy a house and live in another place. ”

Xiao Nuan's voice was low and hoarse, really the same as a man. Because everyone knows that she is a woman, it makes people feel awkward to hear it, "In those days, Xiaocao was bullied, and my mother couldn't hold her head up. The courtiers were forced to go out to make a living, and they repeatedly ran into a wall. When the courtiers squatted on the side of the road and had no livelihood, the passing Wuyu gave the courtiers a few rare melons, and the courtiers sold the melons to the best local restaurants, and used the silver to buy a few acres of land. ”

A few days after buying the field, he caught up with Zhao Shuyan, a business name in Ji County, who entered the village, and he wanted to buy land and open a tea house. The courtiers discussed with their mothers and relatives to use the land our family had just bought to buy shares and let him open a tea house. ”

Jiang Ruhui immediately interjected, "It is also a crime for the county lord to convert the cultivated farmland into a tea house!" ”

All......

Xiao Nuan paused, "The courtiers didn't even know the words at the time, and they didn't know that the farmland could not be converted into tea accommodation, please forgive me." ”

It's really not a big deal, Emperor Jianlong waved his hand," he continued. ”

"Yes." Xiao Nuan continued in a low voice, "Zhao Shuyan can do business, run the tea house well, and after the courtier's family is better, he took the money he saved and invested in a small cloth shop called Jinxiu in the city. It was then that the courtiers learned how difficult it was to do business. The courtiers really wanted to follow Zhao Shuyan to learn to do business, but because of the identity of the woman, it was difficult for the courtiers to move an inch after going out. ”

Later, the master accepted the courtier's daughter as an apprentice, and after the courtier's daughter mentioned this matter to the master, the master said that the courtier's bones were similar to the Qin Dongjia, and he could go out as his identity, because the Qin Dongjia was Zhao Shuyan's cousin, and the courtier's daughter felt that this identity was very good, so she won the consent of the Qin Dongjia. The master asked the third senior brother Ji Jingqing to make a mask for the courtiers and walk outside in this appearance. However, the courtiers have never been to the brothel of the Qinglou, so please see it. ”

Jiang Ruhui said, "How can it be proven? ”

Jiang Ruhui knew that since Xiao Nuan's mask was given by Shi Wuyi, the Qin Dong family who walked in Ji County before her apprenticeship was Qin Rizhan. Although it is a pity, Jiang Ruhui still refuses to give up.

Xiao Nuan explained, "A man is a man, a woman is a woman, and a courtier is wearing a mask, and she can tell the difference when she walks, sits and stands." Wouldn't it be self-confessing to go to places like Qinglou? Besides, a courtier is a woman, so what do you do where men seek pleasure? ”

Everyone nodded, yes, that makes sense!

Jiang Ruhui frowned, "That's the case, it's not appropriate for the county lord to walk outside as a man." It is precisely because you know that it is wrong that you hide it from others, and this is knowingly committing a crime. ”

The Qin family saluted, "Long live, the courtiers have something to say." ”

After getting Emperor Jianlong's approval, Qin said, "Courtiers are also mothers, how can they be willing to let their daughters show up outside." But the courtier's wife was incapable, she couldn't support this family, and she couldn't rely on her mother's family to live, so she could only ruthlessly let Xiao Nuan go out to do things. It is indeed not a glorious thing for Xiao Nuan to wear a mask and go out to do things, so the courtiers hide it from others, but we didn't steal or rob, every penny is real, please be clear. ”

Speaking of the back, Qin's voice was choked.

Everyone present was silent, and the right minister asked, "Long live, the minister has something unclear and wants to ask An Ren for advice." ”

Emperor Jianlong nodded, and the right minister asked, "Qin Anren, it was difficult for you at the beginning, and the county lord had to disguise himself as a man to go out to do things, but then the days were better, why is this still the case?"

Qin wiped away his tears and asked, "Master Cheng, how do you say that you have a good life?" Later, the three courtiers had food and clothes to wear, but they were still not sure, thinking that they could feel at ease with a little money in their hands. ”

"Anren, this is greed, right? How much money do you have to be safe? The right minister asked.

Qin said, "Xiao Nuan and Xiao Cao, the two children, don't like her father and county mother, and they are injured from time to time, and they almost took their lives on two occasions. Adults, courtiers have no power, they can only have money, and with money, children can only survive when they are in danger, right? ”

"The courtiers don't know if you have tasted the taste of not being warm and not full of food, three years ago, Chen Zumo was hit by the makeup yuan, and our family entered Beijing happily, but a few days later, the courtiers could only take the little warmth that broke their heads and the grass that was knocked out of their teeth, and sheltered in the broken temple. The courtiers were incompetent, they couldn't get food, and the children were hungry and frozen. The courtiers don't want the children to taste that taste anymore, so the courtiers have money, and the more money they have, the more down-to-earth the courtiers will be. ”

Jiang Ruhui asked again, "Then why did the county lord still walk outside in this capacity after Anren was awarded the title and the county lord was given marriage?" ”

"From now on, Xiao Nuan will not walk outside as Qin Dongjia. Xiao Nuan has an identity, going out as the county lord will not be looked down upon, King Sheng specially assigned someone to come over to teach Xiao Nuan to do business, why do we have to pretend to be a man to go out? Long live you don't know, Xiao Nuan took this throat-changing medicine, eating too much is not good for her health, how can the courtiers let her eat more. Qin said truthfully.

Emperor Jianlong looked at the Qin family and Xiao Nuan, and still felt awkward in his heart, so he asked directly, "Chen Xiaonuan, are you guilty?" ”

"The courtiers know their mistakes, but the courtiers are not guilty. There is no law in my Great Zhou that says that a woman cannot walk outside in men's clothes. Xiao Nuan replied.

She was so bold that everyone sweated for her.

Really...... No, Jiang Ruhui's head turned several times, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Only then did the third master say, "Father, when the son married the county lord, An Ren made this matter clear to the son and minister. The county lord did this out of filial piety. Out of filial piety, Hua Mulan served in the army for her father to serve in the future, Xiao Nuan can take on the responsibility of supporting the family as a daughter, and her sons feel that she is very courageous and worthy of her sons' admiration. The son did not inform his father of this because he felt that it was not a big deal. Otherwise, Erchen would not have taken the monarch dressed as a man a few days ago to go out, and he was met by Lord Jiang. ”

"Nonsense!" Emperor Jianlong reprimanded.

Although because of his mother's concubine, Emperor Jianlong has always had no high expectations for this third son, and he also married a low-status peasant concubine, but he broke the jar like this, which still made Emperor Jianlong very unhappy.

King Sheng bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and the atmosphere condensed for a while.

Without the rhubarb and grass gags, this matter is indeed a bit difficult to do. Xiao Nuan was about to open his mouth to answer the stubble by himself, when Zuo Xiang spoke.

"Weichen feels that the county lord is forced to make such a decision for his livelihood, although he is at fault, but his feelings are pitiful, please forgive me."

Seeing that Zuo Xiang took the lead, the ministers immediately followed and pleaded, "Please forgive the Holy Lord." ”

The queen also persuaded, "Xiao Nuan's move is indeed against the law of women's learning, the concubine should teach her strictly in the future, today's saint is here to persuade farming, and it should be done semi-seriously." ”
