Zhao Lian just couldn't get used to Su Chen, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately named him, but since he said it, how could he finish it: "The concubine is really in good spirits on happy occasions." ”

Su Chen, who was named, couldn't ignore it, she smiled: "Life is short, I'm strawberry-flavored, why should I be unhappy?" ”

Although he didn't understand this stalk, Zhao Lian still answered: "The grass is moldy, what's there to be happy about?" ”

This time it was Su Chen's turn to be surprised, she looked at Zhou Yueqing: "Aren't there any strawberries?" ”

Zhou Yueqing shook her head, not knowing what she was talking about.

Su Chen didn't expect that his words would make an oolong, and Zhao Lian's sentence was probably the voice of the people present, she paused, "It should already be, but you don't know each other, and you haven't found it, now in this area, how can there be no such thing?" ”

Zhao Tengrun heard her say more and more, and called her with a slight reminder: "Su'er? ”

"I thought of a fruit, it's okay, you go on." Su Chen waved his hand directly to show that he had just flipped over.

It's not the first time Zhao Lian has been talked like this by her, and he was angry: "You are a concubine, why are you still like this?" Are you worthy of being a concubine? ”

Su Chen said: "It doesn't matter if you question me, you can't question the emperor, do you think the emperor has no ability to judge?" He doesn't know if I can be a concubine? ”

Zhao Lian choked, and immediately looked at Zhao Tengrun - why was he cheated by this girl again?

Every time I talk to this, I don't have the upper hand!

It's also the law of honey, every time he wants to say it, he is scolded back as soon as he says it.

He glared at Su Chen angrily, raised his hand and took a sip of the wine glass.

Su Chen really didn't feel any sense of this green plum wine, she just felt that it didn't taste good, but if she liked it, she beckoned and asked the palace maid to send a whole pot.

Zhao Lian's episode gave Wang Rong a chance to speak, and when he saw a palace maid giving wine, he said: "The concubine Niangniang is very clear about King Ning's taste." ”

This tone of neither yin nor yang, the singing and dancing in the field couldn't be suppressed, Su Chen sneered, raised his glass from afar, and then asked someone to send a pot of wine.

didn't say a word, but it was clean and neat, Wang Rong was very embarrassed by this pot of wine, drinking, he couldn't drink it, he didn't drink it, he didn't dare to refute the concubine's face.

Su Chen looked at the time, got up and said that he wanted to put on a show for everyone.

Even Zhao Tengrun didn't know this, he looked at it with interest, the palace people raised a flat drum, Su Chen tied his sleeves, picked up the drumstick and pulled a flower in his hand, nodded to the musician, the pipa sounded, and gave her drum beat.

-

Su Chen's show is very amateurish, she herself doesn't know how to play drums, and the original owner only grew up listening to war drums, and this idea was also born after Zhao Tengrun went to see her that day.

At the end of the song, Zhao Tengrun was amazed, took the lead in applauding, Su Chen was slightly blessed, and said: "The concubine is just throwing bricks and attracting jade, if you want to appreciate the exquisite, you still have to come to Sister Qing'er." ”

Zhou Yueqing was suddenly put on a stand by her, if it weren't for the fact that her skills were not rusty, she would really not be able to get off the stage.

She glared at Su Chen and pouted slightly, "Sister, where is the brick throwing, it is obvious that the beautiful jade is lost, I, a stubborn monkey, will come and pick up a ready-made one." ”

Having said that, but her playfulness was very fascinating, and after listening to it for a long time, it was silent, and Su Chen's applause was exchanged for everyone's thoughts.

Seeing that the meal was almost done, Su Chen got up again and blessed Zhao Teng: "Your Majesty, the meal has been used, the concubines and their ladies will go to the apse first, and you and the adults can be more casual." ”

Zhao Tengrun chuckled: "What kind of customs are you talking about?" ”

Su Chen nodded: "Don't you think this is reasonable?" You don't want to be watched all the time, do you? ”

The banquet is already serious and serious, although there are songs and dances, it can't be very easy, because men and women are different, but if there are only men, then they are very relaxed, right?

Zhao Tengrun nodded: "We are free, and you are also free." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Chen immediately turned around and raised his eyebrows at Zhou Yueqing.

The matter of bringing people to the past, she still has to come to Zhou Yueqing, after all, she often deals with the wives, and she is more familiar than Su Chen.

-

Princess Lian said: "Niangniang is so caring, it is the first time that I can leave in the middle of the banquet." ”

Su Chen explained: "This is not called leaving, this is a separate scene, men and women are not the same, attending during the meal is to prove that you are present, and you will naturally be separated after the meal, and the husband and wife appear at the same time, in order to prove that the husband and wife are in harmony, but the relaxed entertainment after the meal is not the same as to play separately, everyone is happy, and it can be regarded as the completion of the banquet." ”

"So that's the case, the royal banquet is different." Princess North covered her mouth in amazement.

Su Chen also knew that this plump woman was the Song family after being reminded, and reached out to hold her arm: "The third brother and sister's family is in Northern Xinjiang, is the customs over there very different from ours?" If it's convenient, tell me about the style of northern Xinjiang, is it good? ”

Since the Song family married the third prince, she is famous for her generosity in the circle, Su Chen calls her a brother and sister, but she likes her badly - to get the royal recognition, it is not just rich to be rich, she has also thought of other ways, but she does not have such a deep background, and it is inevitable that she will be ridiculed when she intersects with other noble ladies.

It's rare that the concubine wants to listen to her, she was still restrained at first, but if she talks too much, she will inevitably be a little speechless.

"Niangniang, there are hundreds of singers and dancers in my family, sometimes they are sent directly, and there are a lot of songs and dances, but I am tired of watching it, and I can't say it, if you want to see it, I will ask my father to send you a batch."

This is very unreasonable, if Su Chen should come down, how embarrassing would it be, and there would be a singing and dancing girl in the palace? Even if she wanted to see it, she couldn't say it explicitly, so she could only shake her head.

Princess North said: "It is said that Niangniang is the most straightforward, before the second sister-in-law also said that I must be able to talk to Niangniang, today I said this, I can really talk, Niangniang wants something in the north, just tell me." ”

Su Chen smiled and said, "I want to see some chronicles about the customs and customs of Northern Xinjiang, I wonder if the third brother and sister can find them?" ”

Princess North didn't understand at all: "Terroir...... What is terroir? ”

Hearing her reply like this, Su Chen knew that he would not be able to find it, and explained a little: "It doesn't matter if you don't have a book that describes local customs or characters or characteristics, ornamental plants or crops are also very good." ”

"Books, ......" As soon as Song heard this, she knew that she was going to finish, and she didn't know the latter two, what kind of books were she watching? She didn't dare to ask, and smiled wryly, a little embarrassed.

Su Chen hurriedly said: "Brother and sister, don't get me wrong, in addition to dancing knives and guns, I can only read books, I can't stand singing and dancing or something, and I am interested in food, if there is anything delicious and fresh, I will definitely try it." ”

She said, bowing her head slightly, indicating that she was also embarrassed, after all, her background was not high.

Song didn't expect the concubine to be so kind and round, she really thought she was laughing at her just now, and hurriedly waved her hand: "Niangniang is too polite, there are cooks in the north of my house, but I am afraid that you will not be used to eating, so I will send it to you another day." ”

"If you send it to the palace, there won't be that atmosphere, otherwise next time, it's better for you to have a tasting banquet in the house, and then Qing'er and I will go over to try it, what do you think?" Su Chen directly gave her a chance.

Song was surprised, she hadn't held a banquet yet.

Su Chen has said everything about this, if she doesn't accept it, then Su Chen can't do anything.

Even the princess said: "The concubine is really polite, if you want to eat something fresh, you have to go over in person, if you don't know your temperament, you think that the emperor favors the third prince." ”

When their own family members speak, they don't talk about the title, they just talk about the ranking, anyway, they all know who they are talking about.

"Second brother and sister, where are these words, the palace has a banquet, you can also go over, everyone will be lively together at that time, isn't it?" Su Chen said, glancing at the women present: "When the time comes, everyone will go to the party, right?" Everyone is the taste of Beijing, and they also taste the northern Xinjiang style. ”

She has made the field hot to this point, even if the Song family doesn't understand, the Fang family also understands, she will not suffer a loss for the concubine at this time, although the Song family does not understand, but the king of the north will definitely understand.

Fang immediately got up and helped Song to speak, Su Chen lowered his head and drank tea, slightly relieved - this is really not her strong point, she doesn't understand one or two, she wants her to talk about this, if she messes up, it will be a royal face.

In order to manage the image of the royal family, it is really ......

"Niangniang is erudite, the women in the boudoir should really learn from Niangniang." Suddenly, someone said that.

Su Chen raised her eyes and saw that it was the wife of the Li family, a cabinet scholar, and she immediately smiled: "I'll show Madame something, if Madame is interested, I will help take the lead and help the palace." ”

She had a mind now, but someone almost agreed.

Although she couldn't recognize the surnames of these people at this time, it didn't delay her in dividing the matter at all.

Li Mashi arrived at a piece of paper, ten inches square, with small characters on it, neat plates, and ...... How to wash your face, how to apply makeup and flower arrangement?

This is a leaflet made by Liu, and it is not sent out much, because even if some people can calculate accounts and run a family, they are not literate and cannot understand.

However, Li Ma received a copy, but he didn't expect to be able to see it here.

She blinked slightly: "Niang Niang means ......"

Su Chen said in a low voice: "This content can be replaced with something else, more interesting, such as 'Today's palace banquet, King Ning and the concubine choked again, and were rewarded with a pot of wine by the concubine, the concubine performed a drumming, full of fighting spirit, and the concubine played a hand of the zither, and the aftermath lingered, 'Of course, the newspaper has a fee, printing costs, labor costs, and costs must be accounted for, and it can be booked monthly, quarterly, and annually, does Mrs. Li have any intentions?' ”

"It turns out that the mother has this meaning, so let the concubine go back and make some preparations." Li Mashi also lowered his voice: "The concubine thinks that many people don't know this method of flower arrangement, if it can be promoted......"

Su Chen opened his mouth and came: "Then set up a class, teach it, and collect tuition." ”

-

Fresh things can always attract people's attention, and at this palace banquet at the end of the year, what Su Chen did almost caused the whole capital to talk about it, but the atmosphere in the palace was really peaceful.

Zhou Anhan called a few drumming soldiers from the barracks, Su Chen and a few palace maids followed, and she brought Zhou Yueqing to be a bystander.

Zhou Yueqing said: "This is the last time I will listen to you practice the drums, it's really noisy, my ears." ”

Su Chen carried a drumstick: "Lord Qing, your cousin is a general, you have to make some contributions to the army, I decided to recruit female drummers, when I went out, I beat the drums for the soldiers, and when I returned from the expedition, I was named a female officer." ”

Zhou Yueqing shook her head: "The women who have been with the army since ancient times, except for the wife, are female prisoners, don't be too out of line." ”

"Who said that? I used to lead troops, is that Madame? I still have a team of female soldiers! Su Chen smiled: "After the tenth day of the first month, Er Qiao and the others left the palace, and the female drummers were recruited from all over the country, and only those who could stand up straight for more than two hours were accepted, I still don't believe it, I can even bring soldiers, people can be killed, and no one has come to play a drum?" ”

Zhou Yueqing pouted: "It's the fifth day of the new year today, and you will start working tomorrow, you haven't told the emperor about this yet, even if you want to, it depends on whether the emperor agrees." ”

Although she didn't mean to be sarcastic, she was also very optimistic about the proposal.

"What do you want to say to me?" Zhao Tengrun walked around the palace today, and as soon as he came back, he heard this.

He was in a good mood today, and he would respond to whatever he said.

Su Chen said his thoughts, and reported his work by the way: "Last year, I invested more than 200,000 taels, and the net profit earned about 100,000 yuan, which should be stable this year, but I have invested in two, one has always been the princess's clothes, and it has always been Lord Li's newspaper, with the possibility of opening a flower arrangement class, women can also drive the economy, recruiting female drummers is to win the war, there are women to cheer, those men go out, full of motivation." ”

Zhao Tengrun nodded when he listened: "The idea is good, you can give it a try." ”

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Yueqing felt incredible, and hurriedly persuaded: "Think twice!" ”

"I think that the words of the concubine can be said to the point every time, but these things, externally, it is enough to recruit palace maids, and these people in the palace are easier to train." Zhao Tengrun pointed out the center of Su Chen and proposed from a different angle.

Su Chen also nodded: "Yes, it seems that you also have ideas, how is the scooter playing?" As long as the road is smooth, the speed can be up, and the problem of building the road is imminent. ”

Zhao Tengrun said: "Construction is already underway, it's just a matter of time, you, you should let Doctor Xue take a good look at you, he will follow Zhou Anhan to Liaobian this time." ”

Zhou Anhan also set off on the tenth day of the first month, and when Su Chen sent Er Qiao and them to the gate of the palace, he saw Zhou Anhan and Xue Ruman.

The two of them stood together, one was dressed in black clothes, and the other was elegantly dressed in white, the picture was so beautiful that people couldn't bear to disturb it.
