Chapter 33: "Difficult for Women"

In the ancient dynasty of the Li Dynasty, men studied for the imperial examination, and the class time was 9 to 5, which was relatively strict. And women study just for reason, maybe it can also be said to be for the fun of adding fragrance to the red sleeves, and even some are for the sake of spreading a name, because women's schools do not require that they need to be ordered every day. The teaching of female students at Lusheng College is also relatively loose, but most of the young ladies in order to gain a good reputation, except for the normal suspension time, almost always go to and from class on time. Of course, in addition to Yi Xiangxiang, who fished for three days and dried nets for two days.

Yi Xiangxiang has three don't go out, don't go out on rainy days, don't go out when the sun is too big, and don't go out when you don't want to go out! Since she started school, she really hasn't been in class half the time. In addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, there are also embroidery and flower arrangement, but Yi Xiangxiang will come today, not for these, but because the content of today's class is about celebrity biographies.

What makes this story more unusual is that it is a woman's story.

The Li Dynasty is also an era of male superiority and inferiority of women, and very few women's deeds are sung, and what is told in today's school is the story of the female general making the moon in the early days of the establishment of the Li Dynasty.

Lang Yue is the daughter of an ordinary family in the ordinary market, and she has no different background, so how can this woman be a general? Speaking of which, we have to start with the ruined Qilin Dynasty!

The Qilin Dynasty was established for more than 300 years, and by the end of more than 100 years ago, the people were already in dilapidation, so the subjects everywhere held high the banner of righteousness and pointed directly at the Qilin Dynasty. Lane Yue grew up in the market since she was a child, and she was fed up with the breath of this corrupt dynasty and hated the defeat of the dynasty, which made her family ruined! So Lang Yue went to the military camp in disguise as a man with her courage and courage, because she was brave and resourceful, she passed all the way to become a general, and helped the ancestors of the Li Dynasty to lay down this country. Later, the country was in turmoil, the Qilin Dynasty collapsed, and the Li Dynasty rose! At that time, the founding emperor Chengde Emperor wanted to crown Langyue as the general who protected the country, and he never thought that those jealous people would announce the identity of Langyue's woman to the public, and a will to deceive the monarch was lowered.

Emperor Chengde had no intention of really condemning Yu Rongyue, but hoped that she would hand over her military power and enter the palace as a concubine......

Emperor Chengde already had a queen at that time, and he said bitterly that he could not abandon his wife and promise the respect of Empress Langyue, but he admired General Rongyue and wanted to crown General Rongyue as the imperial concubine, but he didn't want to be rejected by the general with "I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated"! After that, General Langyue handed in the talisman and left the palace. Later, it was rumored that General Langyue happened to meet the talented Du Ruo, and the two eventually became a family member and went into hiding hand in hand. The female gentleman was very excited after saying this in class, and it seemed that she was also a fan of General Rongyue.

Yi Xiangxiang is related, first, she thinks that Emperor Chengde wants to get the moon's military power, and it doesn't matter how much he loves to make the moon. Second, Emperor Chengde said that he couldn't abandon his wife to make the queen of the moon, but he didn't think about where he put the queen when he said this? Doesn't this make it clear that it is embarrassing the queen? Speaking of which, most of these ancient women are really victims of men's rights, amazing as the moon, aren't they no match for the imperial power that Emperor Chengde wants? Of course, the winner is the king and the loser is Kou, even now, who dares to say that the royal is not?

In this biography class of Lusheng Academy, the women's school ends with "women can also create a world", and the men's school ends with "don't underestimate women's talents".

In fact, speaking of which, Yi Xiangxiang still thinks that Lusheng College is a more entertaining college, and it is no wonder that there are so many commendable talents and beauties who have gone out. As far as Yi Xiangxiang knows, other colleges will not use a woman's deeds to educate men not to underestimate women's talents. At this point, the deans of Lusheng Academy in the past generations did not respect the teaching method of male superiority and inferiority of women, but Yi Xiangxiang was impressed.

And what Yi Xiangxiang knew was that this Lusheng Academy had existed since the heyday of the Qilin Dynasty. According to the historical records of the college, a hundred years ago, there was a dean whose surname was Du, and the legendary Du Ruonai, who went into hiding with Langyue, had the same surname, which had to make Yi Xiangxiang suspect that this Du was Peydou.

As for this general Langyue, she has the feeling of "wishing to win the hearts of one person", which also makes Yi Xiangxiang wonder if she is from the same era as herself. Because if it is a person in an ancient dynasty who has not experienced monogamy, it is rare to have such a feeling. However, because they have never heard any news since they went into hiding, and the age is so old, it is impossible to verify.

Yi Xiangxiang shouted that Shumei was about to leave after receiving something, Jiang Jingshan walked over with Xiao Ling'er and said: "Ling'er was ignorant and offended Sister Xiangxiang two days ago, and last night I heard my mother say that Mrs. Yi had already picked up the post, and my sister would also come over to enjoy the flowers together in two days. ”

Yi Xiangxiang looked at Jiang Jingshan in front of her, but in terms of appearance, she was worthy of her brother, but she didn't like it so much because of her exquisite personality. However, not all the women in ancient times were General Langyue, most of the women lived in the inner house, and most of them relied on a face that made everyone smile, so Yi Xiangxiang didn't think it was a bad thing for girls to be good at dancing with long sleeves. She felt that Jiang Jingshan was also a smart person, and if she became her sister-in-law, it would not be a bad thing. And this Mrs. Jiang has made an appointment with the ladies to enjoy the flowers and chat, I am afraid that the drunkard is not in the bar!

"Since Miss Jiang is so kindly invited, I will gladly go." Yi Xiangxiang replied.

The cherry blossom viewing party is boring, but it's also a good opportunity to further explore the beauty of my brother! Speaking of which, I have to find a time to knock on my brother's side, Yi Xiangxiang thought.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Yi Xiangxiang took Qingxuan and Shumei to the gate of the academy, and saw Yi Luochuan who was already waiting at the door.

"Brother, I'm going to go shopping on the street today, you go back first!" Yi Xiangxiang said to Yi Luochuan.

However, before Yi Luochuan could speak, Yi Ruofu, who had just rubbed his sleepy eyes from class, chased him out and said, "Where are you going to go again?" No, you have to take me! ”

Yi Xiangxiang put away Yi Ruofu's hand and said, "Good, you go back with your brother, I'll bring you something delicious later!" Yi Xiangxiang said to Yi Ruofu like a child, and then hinted that Shumei didn't need to follow, she quickly ran away with Qing Xuan spread her legs, leaving Yi Luochuan and Yi Ruofu who looked at each other and a group of bystanders stunned.

Women are used to paying attention to the posture of sitting, lying and walking, and there are really few people like Yi Xiangxiang who don't care about their image, which has attracted everyone's attention.

Yi Xiangxiang ran down the street with Qing Xuan, and didn't slow down until she disappeared into the eyes of Yi Luochuan and Yi Ruofu. The master and servant walked through Tongzhou Street and turned into the alley and appeared in front of an unpretentious corner door, only to see Qing Xuan look around, then nodded at Yi Xiangxiang, and then heard the corner door ring three times and three times softly, and the little girl in pink who was pruning the flowers and branches in the yard put down the scissors and opened the door.

It's an ordinary yard with bouquets of different varieties planted around it, and it's very neatly trimmed. There was a patio in the middle of the yard, and some moss had grown on the manhole cover, which seemed to have not been used for a long time. Yi Xiangxiang's master and servant entered in turn, and after the little maid closed the door, she took the two into the cloister on the edge of the courtyard, and after turning around, she saw a staircase entrance, and the little maid in pink led people here and retreated.

Yi Xiangxiang looked at the endless staircase, and secretly hated why she didn't build a study in the courtyard in the first place, she had to covet the scenery from the heights, this sour feeling of climbing the fifth floor was really enough! Qing Xuan said that he would fly up with her, but Yi Xiangxiang thought about this blue sky, so it was better to keep a low profile.

It wasn't until her calves began to tremble that Yi Xiangxiang was able to sit down in the wenge wood two-seater rose chair in the Moxiang Pavilion, to be exact, reclining. Qing Xuan is a person who practices martial arts, but her face does not change and her heart does not beat, Yi Xiangxiang asked her to sit down, she still has to have an obvious distinction between master and servant externally, so she just stood behind Yi Xiangxiang, and Yi Xiangxiang was no longer reluctant.

The fifth floor of Mei Huan Yuan is closed to guests, but occasionally when a guest wants to redeem the girl, he will go to the opposite test area to be tested. And this private room, known as Moxiang Pavilion, is the room where Yi Xiangxiang and Moxi meet.

If you want to say how much Yi Xiangxiang loves to decorate and pound the room, you can know it by looking at the decoration of Moxiang Pavilion. The things that are not easy to see in Yongle Ju on weekdays are all placed here! The spotless marble floor is inlaid with milky white warm jade, the delicately carved red sandalwood table is placed with precious autumn chrysanthemums in full bloom, the blue and white porcelain and jade pieces on the table are exquisitely decorated, and the landscape paintings hanging on the wall, almost every one of them is from everyone's hands!

Yi Xiangxiang was lying in the rose chair, playing with a string of white jade beads in her hand, drinking chilled sour plum juice and eating exquisite hibiscus cake, not to mention how comfortable she was.

When Moxi opened the door and walked into Moxiang Pavilion, he saw Yi Xiangxiang eating pastries at the same time, but his eyes were staring at the chrysanthemums on the flower table, and he wondered if Miss wanted to make chrysanthemum tea again, right? She couldn't help but think of the first meeting between herself and Miss two years ago, when she saw Yi Xiangxiang drinking a cup of tea brewed with chrysanthemums, at that time she was still wondering where the fresh chrysanthemums came from in the building, and later she learned that because Yi Xiangxiang said casually "I want to drink chrysanthemum tea", the people around her immediately went back to the house to pick fresh chrysanthemums to brew.

After Moxi knew the reason for the chrysanthemum at that time, she really felt that this young lady was difficult to serve for the people around Yi Xiangxiang, but after getting along with Yi Xiangxiang all these years, she knew that this was a very good young lady. Moxi thought of the bits and pieces of these years, and couldn't help but wonder.

Two years ago, Moxi was almost bought by a wealthy businessman with quirks because she wanted to keep this flower building, but it was Yi Xiangxiang's guards who bought her at a high price, and took over the Oiran Building and renamed it Mei Huan Yuan.

The first time she saw Yi Xiangxiang, it was also in this room, at that time the decoration here was not as magnificent as it is now, and the Oiran building at that time was already regarded as seventy-seven eighty-eight, and even a decent cup of tea could not be served. When Moxi knew that the person who bought the building was a little girl, she was desperate in her heart, she didn't know what the girl's intention was to buy the Oiran Building, and she only felt that the Oiran Building was going to be finished.

Moxi's mother was also a woman in the Oiran Building, and she died in childbirth when she gave birth to her. Moxi grew up in this building, and she knew that many girls in the building had voluntarily drunk medicine and could not get pregnant for life, and the Oiran Building was where they grew old. Moxi doesn't know why her mother chose to give birth to herself, the aunt who grew up with Moxi was the maid next to Moxi's mother, and the aunt once said that her mother was not only the top brand in this building, but also the boss of this building, and the Oiran Building she built accommodated a lot of women who had nowhere to go.

The proprietress of the Oiran Building back then Yun Shang was beautiful and moving, she was still in her youth, if she hadn't chosen to give birth to Moxi, she would not have passed away in childbirth, and the Oiran Building would not have been occupied by the old mother, and she would not have been swayed by the poor old mother and fled with debts. Moxi had never explored her father's identity, and she didn't think it mattered. She grew up in this building, and the reason why she persistently wanted to run it was because it was the only product left by her mother, and secondly, she also knew that not every woman in the dust was willing to fall into the dust, and some of them fled in the middle of the road and could not survive; Some of them were persecuted by the housewife and forcibly sold...... For many women in the Oiran Building, they would rather usher in the smiling face sent to this building than continue to drift or go to the house of a large family to practice with the main mother, and the Oiran Building is a home for them.

So Moxi was really depressed when she saw Yi Xiangxiang at that time, this girl looked younger than her, and she couldn't run it herself, how could this little girl support this flower building?

However, to her surprise, Yi Xiangxiang did not give her any promises or ambitions, she only said that she would change the Oiran Building to Mei Huan Yuan, and would let her continue to learn to manage Mei Huan Yuan.

So, Moxi watched Yi Xiangxiang start a drastic rectification, she first dismantled and redecorated the layout of the building, and the materials were scattered as if she didn't need money, and even all the doors were dismantled and reinstalled with carved doors. During the decoration of the building, Yi Xiangxiang also trained the girls, separating the girls who were willing to serve in Israel from the talented girls, and separated them into different areas. Unexpectedly, the reopened Meihuan Garden really attracted the attention of many people, and gradually became a famous gold cave in Tongzhou.

Of course, it wasn't just this toss, Yi Xiangxiang also found someone to spread out and praise Mei Huan Yuan, and found some nurseries to talk about this flower building in the joy building, which spread the reputation of Mei Huan Yuan. It was also at this time that Moxi knew that this young lady was the daughter of Tongzhou Zhizhou and the real manager of Xile Building.

As a result, Moxi was completely impressed by Yi Xiangxiang, and in the past two years, she followed Yi Xiangxiang to establish Wuda Firm and build a business empire. Moxi knew that she was lucky to meet such a strange woman in her life.

In fact, Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to cooperate with Moxi at the beginning, but she later found out that Moxi was still very talented in business, but it was really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice before. And she felt that Moxi almost sold herself for this building, and she was also a very righteous woman, so she trained her and became her business partner.

It is indeed a business partner, and the Wuda business has basically been taken care of by Moxi over the years. Although Yi Xiangxiang is the big boss behind the scenes, and all the plans of Wuda Firm are secretly arranged by Yi Xiangxiang, but the external contact on the surface has always been Moxi in Zhou Xuan. Yi Xiangxiang originally wanted to give 30% of the Wuda business name to Moxi, but Moxi felt that even this flower building was left by Yi Xiangxiang's blessing, so he insisted on refusing. In the end, the two sides couldn't resist and gave in to each other, and Moxi received fifteen percent, but despite this, it was also a huge amount of income.

Yi Xiangxiang had already noticed that Moxi was stunned when she looked at her, and waved her hand to interrupt her thoughts!

"What? Seeing my great beauty look stupid? Yi Xiangxiang put the white jade bracelet into her wrist and asked.

"Hey, are you as beautiful as me?" Moxi said in Yi Xiangxiang's tone, and sat on the carved chair opposite; Although she also serves Yi Xiangxiang, she is more casual because she has not been bound by any etiquette since she was a child.

Yi Xiangxiang glanced at Moxi, she was wearing an orange brocade dress today, the skirt was embroidered with gorgeous lotus flowers, and a brocade belt tied her slender waist. Moxi is indeed outstanding, and he is on par with Qingxuan. It's just that now that Qingxuanwu is in her body, her beauty has three points of masculinity, while Moxi's is beautiful and evil. Yi Xiangxiang looked at her face like a peach and plum, but she abandoned the bead flower tassel, and the three thousand green silk was only pulled up with a peony hairpin with meticulous carving, which was very beautiful.

In fact, whether it is General Langyue or Moxi or Qingxuan, if the times allow, they will be a legend of this dynasty, a legend that will not be erased halfway. Speaking of which, because men are inferior to women, many women's talents in this world are buried, and many feats are not mentioned. If General Langyue's deeds are replaced by a man, it can be discussed for scientific research, and just because she is a woman, she has to unload her military power and retire after her success! There is also Qing Xuan, who is known as the string lady, who is only famous in the rivers and lakes. And even if Moxi is the manager on the surface, he is more praised, but he is still the so-called man "Wuda"! Even his mother runs the Joy Building, and is criticized by some well-intentioned people for having fun for an idle official wife! Eh, ancient women are embarrassed! Yi Xiangxiang thought so.

"Well, our Moxi is indeed beautiful! Come, come and pour wine for the master! Yi Xiangxiang said that she was going to tease Moxi.

Moxi rolled her eyes and said to Yi Xiangxiang: "Don't make trouble, I know that you have something to do today, otherwise you will rarely come here in person!" "Yesterday, two men in black tied up a man and knocked on Moxi's door, and she knew that Yi Xiangxiang would come over today.

Yi Xiangxiang does rarely appear in Meihuanyuan, because her identity is not suitable! Most of the communication with Moxi is transmitted by the secret guard, and if it is not necessary, Yi Xiangxiang is still extremely cautious.

Although Moxi and Yi Xiangxiang have only known each other for two years, because Yi Xiangxiang has little to hide from her, she knows almost all of Yi Xiangxiang's forces. Two years ago, Moxi volunteered to serve Yi Xiangxiang as the main one, although the latter said that they were friends, but in Moxi's heart, he still regarded Yi Xiangxiang as his master.

"Well, let's talk about Kyoto first, I've already let people pass the word, and then the Wuda business in Kyoto is secretly managed by Yi Hanxi for me, but on the surface, I have to say that you are coming from Tongzhou remotely!" Yi Xiangxiang said.

Although Moxi didn't know what remote control meant, she also guessed that it was for her to cover in the open, so she said: "This is not a problem, I will give orders, and then the news from Kyoto will be presented as soon as possible, and I will do a good job if I need to cooperate!" ”

She knew that Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to expose herself in front of people, and she could understand it, otherwise Xile Lou would not have stopped so simply, after all, Yi Xiangxiang was at the top of a state, and it was right to be low-key,

"Okay, by the way, let's get to know, this is Qingxuan! The secret guards around me have all been removed, and anything will be directly conveyed by Qing Xuan after that. Yi Xiangxiang pointed at Qingxuan and said to Moxi.

"I have heard the name of the string lady for a long time, and I am really lucky to meet the real person today! I never thought that the string lady was such a beauty! "Moxi's praise is simple and real.

Qing Xuan smiled and said: "These are thanks to the cooperation of Miss Moxi and Miss, so that Qing Xuan can be a little successful, and Qing Xuan also wants to thank Miss Moxi." ”

Mo Wen and Qingxuan never need to consider the issue of gold and silver when they are outside, because of Yi Xiangxiang's strong support behind them, Moxi is naturally a meritorious man.

"Miss Qingxuan, where is it, Moxi is fortunate to meet Miss Moxi!" Mo Xi answered.

"Why do I think you've come here like you've agreed, what? Is today my commendation meeting? Don't be poor, take me to meet people, today I will let you see another great feat of Miss Ben! Yi Xiangxiang said.

Qingxuan and Moxi glanced at each other, and they were really speechless about the narcissism of their own young lady, but they had to admit that sometimes Yi Xiangxiang really opened their eyes!
