Although Biansai is not as rich as the capital, it is not without rich merchants and eunuchs.

In the border Kyushu, the upper three states have the best economic strength and total production, and rich businessmen and capable officials are here; In the three states, the average number of ordinary farmers is the most; The Lower Three States are the land of exile, and the most marginal barren land.

Yanzhou's economic strength and total production rank among the top three, and those with a background and ability in the family will want more, such as being a master, so there will be many people who have the idea of playing in the backyard of the palace.

can be a master in Biansai, in addition to being an official, that is, he is related to the most powerful person, such as the wife and concubine of the prince of Yanbei.

The circle of the upper three states is so large, the ladies and girls know a little about each other, and the interests of each other did not interfere with each other before, and they all maintain a harmonious balance, but now they have a common goal of competition, either to form a gang or to regard each other as objects of competition.

What Shan Zhao said is not unreasonable, Princess Yanbei shows satisfaction with a person who is inferior everywhere, and others will focus on her openly and secretly.

Now she only needs to add more fire, and Yang Guilan will become a thorn in the side of the other girls, and they will use various means to pull her off the horse.

The next day, someone in the palace reported that Princess Yanbei would take a concubine for the prince three days later and carry Yang Guilan, a girl from the Yang family, into the palace.

As soon as the news was released, everyone was stunned for a moment, and Mrs. Yang was even more carried away by the happy event from the sky, and she was busy for her daughter Zhang Luo's happy event.

The Yang Mansion was jubilant, but they ignored Yang Guilan's state, which gave others an opportunity.

When they remembered, they found that Yang Guilan had already mixed up with a poor scholar.

The poor book grew up to be white, and with a few words and sugar-coated shells, he easily took down the older leftover girl Yang Guilan.

When Ming Lanying heard the news, it was Yang Guilan who had already married the poor scholar.

The Yang family wanted to hide the matter, but how could the people in the secret be willing to directly add fuel to the trouble and make the matter bigger, the poor scholar had someone behind him, and the Yang family was too late to do it, so Yang Guilan had to marry the poor scholar.

Mrs. Yang was heartbroken, obviously there was only one day left, and her daughter would be able to climb the palace, but the meat in her mouth flew, and she was angry for a while.

Yang Xiancheng was also punished by his superiors for this incident, and he lost patience with Mrs. Yang, and went to play with Xinna's concubine every night.

Wang Yuying's news channel is very special, and she can always get accurate first-hand news in the first time, and she listens to it with relish.

Ming Lanying didn't bother when she saw Ning'er reading in the study, and went to the garden to find Hebai and a few people, and saw Hebai, Shan Zhao and Dongxia surrounding Wang Yuying and nibbling on the new melons.

Ming Lanying flicked on her head, "What are you doing here?" Not having fun? Don't make money? ”

Wang Yuying smiled and bowed her head, and briefly said the matter of the Yang family, and Ming Lanying didn't say anything after listening.

Hebai covered his forehead and smiled, "Of course I'm looking for it!" The steward of the king in the front yard has already sent out an invitation, and three days later, Princess Yanbei will hold a tea party and invite everyone to drink tea and enjoy the flowers. ”

Dong Xia added: "The palace does not raise idlers, and those who want to enter the palace must show sincerity to let the princess see it." ”

Shan Zhao finally added, "With the reputation of Princess Yanbei for being greedy for money and accumulating money, they know what kind of sincerity to show, don't worry, princess and sister-in-law!" ”

No one is mentioning the matter of the Yang family, but Mrs. Yang released the pigeons of the palace, and instead gave gifts to make amends.

The ceremony arrived, no one saw it, and the steward Wang in the front yard counted the things and moved them directly into the warehouse, in the eyes of the Yang family, Ming Lanying was discouraged, but he was very disappointed in the Yang family.

The Yang family didn't have the face to say anything, and outsiders watched happily.

Three days later, at the tea party in the palace, the ladies of each family came to the banquet early in the morning with their well-dressed daughters, and various carriages were parked in front of the palace, and the people in the palace were rarely busy.

Ming Lanying was pulled up by Mama Cai early in the morning to clean up and dress up, and sat in the main hall of the front yard with a smile to welcome people.

Hebai is also in a beautiful spirit, Shan Zhao can't follow to entertain guests, so he can only lie outside the wall to watch the excitement, and has always called him the brother-in-law of the prince.

Although Shan Zhao felt strange about the title of brother-in-law, he felt comfortable after looking at Hebai, who was frowning and disgusted.

In winter and summer, he was also pulled by the Ming Lan Ying to support the field, Zhao Lao glared at the Ming Lan Ying who was playing crazy, but he didn't say anything, and dried the medicinal herbs in the yard leisurely.

Ming Lanying sat in the main hall for almost an hour, and finally everyone gathered, greeted the garden, drank tea and enjoyed the flowers.

Twenty ladies came one after another, including Mrs. Shangjia and Mrs. Guan, all of whom came with flowers and branches.

Ming Lanying glanced over, and Wang Yuying whispered in her ear to introduce the name and age one by one. The youngest is only fourteen years old, and the oldest is only seventeen, both of them are as delicate as flowers.

But Ming Lanying sat in the first place, and it was directly dazzling, dazzling, and everyone took a deep breath.

Mama Cai smiled proudly and satisfied, compared to the appearance and temperament, their princess has not lost yet!

No matter how high the status is, there is no dignity blessed by Ming Lanying's dual identity, so when talking to her, her posture is very low, which makes Ming Lanying a little unaccustomed.

The gardeners of the palace are very careful, the summer is short and the winter is long, and some flowers are not easy to raise, so it is rare, but they can be seen in the gardens of the palace.

With the flowers in front of them, these ladies and ladies can praise the Ming Lan Ying to the sky, what virtuous and virtuous, discerning people, and the royal subordinates are all praised.

Slowly, the princess and the princess have a deep love for each other, but the backyard is empty, and there are no sisters around the princess to share their worries, they are really worried about the princess's body.

Ming Lanying directly picked out the topic, "This time I called you here not just to drink tea and enjoy the flowers, everyone should have heard about Miss Yang two days ago, it's a pity......

"The princess doesn't have to be a pity, it's because she didn't have this blessing, and she wasted a piece of the princess's kindness in vain."

"Yes, yes, yes! The princess might as well change to a better candidate! ”

Ming Lanying said it directly, and she didn't pretend to be seated, and directly pushed out her daughter or niece next to her for her to see.

At a glance, there are all kinds of warblers and swallows, and the Minglan warblers are a little dazzled, and they have a headache and support their heads.

"All the girls are as beautiful as flowers, I really can't pick them up, it's better to come like this, one by one, if you want to enter the palace, you have to have some ability to serve by the prince's side, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, etiquette and royal shooting, if you know medical skills and martial arts, it would be better!"

Everyone understands the previous words, and the medical skills and martial arts in the back are ...... Isn't this looking for doctors and guards? Serving the prince still has to be proficient in these?!

Seeing the stunned expressions on everyone's faces, Ming Lanying hurriedly coughed twice to cover up the past, "Hebai, you can arrange it." ”

"Okay! It's good for my sister-in-law to watch from the sidelines! ”

The girls' eyes were much hotter when they saw Hebai, I heard that Hebai is the younger sister of the prince, she has been living in the palace, and she has a good relationship with the princess and princess, and getting this sister-in-law is also a big step into the palace!

Hebai smiled innocently and asked the maid to send the cut paper one by one.

"It's rare for the girls to come back, let's not waste time, the girls write down what they are good at on paper, make their own marks, and then by me! Let's draw lots to decide who will come first, if there is something that needs to be prepared, you can tell me, and I will let the maid prepare. ”

Emphasizing that the key point is for her to decide the priority and what to prepare, everyone saw that Ming Lanying had no reaction, and they had a plan in their hearts.

When the paper was recovered, Hebai personally went down to collect it one by one, the distance between the people was a little far, and there were flowers in the middle of the block, Hebai went down to collect the paper and made a lot of money.

The heavy purse on her sleeve made her so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and when she turned around, she quickly emptied more than twenty purses, pretending to pull out a piece of paper casually.

"Invite our first girl Zhu to show her talent to come up and perform a stunning dance!"

The girl who failed to buy gritted her teeth in her heart, and Miss Zhu, who spent a high price to buy the first performance seat, smiled reservedly, raised her chin proudly and went to the guest room with Hebai to change her clothes.

After coming out, Hebai touched the extra purse in his sleeve, returned to Ming Lanying with a smile, and secretly compared a number with Ming Lanying.

Ming Lanying saw her with a profitable expression, smiled helplessly, and cooperated with her performance.

Miss Zhu dared to be the first to stand up and perform, that is, she was considered to be aesthetically tired, so it was better to be the first to leave a good impression.

Miss Zhu also dared to jump out with confidence, a thrilling dance was really amazing, and Ming Lanying was satisfied with it.

"Miss Zhu's dance was an eye-opener for me, it's really good to stay by the prince's side."

Miss Zhu was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted and thanked her, and everyone else who watched it was itching with jealousy.

The following order is arranged according to the number of bids, and everyone's preparation is to go with Hebai, although Hebai walks back and forth a lot, but he makes a lot of money behind his back.

There are more things to make up in the back and help say good things, Ming Lanying also cooperated with her, and she praised everything she should praise, basically every girl hinted at a chance.

The ladies present were also happy, and they did not feel sorry for the money spent on bribes.

The bustle in the garden lasted until the afternoon, the Ming Lan warbler and the winter and summer feasted their eyes, and the crane white was busy back and forth all day, and people made money.

After the last girl finished performing, Ming Lanying praised again, ate snacks with everyone, and then sent everyone away, asking them to go back and wait for the notice.

Sending away the last mother and daughter, promising to mention her daughter to the prince, before closing the door, Ming Lanying rubbed her face, listening to their flattery all day long, her smile was almost stiff.

Ming Lanying looked at the smirking Hebai who was holding a bunch of sachets speechlessly, and said to Dong Xia: "How do I feel like a pimped person?" Who would give a good wife a concubine to her husband like this? ”

Dong Xia funnily kneaded the acupuncture points on her shoulders and neck for her to relax, "Indeed, other people's wives either directly stuffed the girls around them, or found a good family to negotiate the time conditions to quietly carry people into the house." It's the first time I've seen such a draft-like concubine with such fanfare. ”

Ming Lanying was also laughed at by herself, "This thing is troublesome!" It's all to blame for Ye Jue's law! ”

Dong Xia smiled and nodded, "Yes!" That's right! It's all to blame Brother Ye, it's okay to be so worried about what to do! ”

Ming Lanying couldn't hold back her laughter, "Count how much they bribed." ”

There are more than 40 sachets, and on average, each girl is stuffed with two, and they can't be removed.

Wang Yuying and Mama Cai also put down what they were doing to open the sachet, and Shan Zhao also climbed over the wall to help.

It took a few people a quarter of an hour to count them, and Ming Lanying looked at the stacks of silver tickets and silver in shock.

"Sixteen thousand taels!"

Hebai and Shan Zhao cheered, "Earn it!" Hahahahaha

Ming Lanying was surprised and smacked her tongue, but she was in a good mood, and each person was divided into ten taels, and the salary of the two Wang Stewards and Mama Cai was only three taels a month, and ten taels was a huge amount of money.

Everyone was also happy, Mama Cai was worried about how it ended, and Ming Lanying smiled crookedly.

"Bring it in, of course."

"Huh?!"

Hebai and the others all stared at her in surprise, and they all looked at her in disbelief.

Dong Xia hurriedly grabbed her, "Didn't we say that we wouldn't let them enter the mansion?" Sister-in-law, you'll talk about it after you think about it. ”

"Sister-in-law, you!" Hebai pointed at her tremblingly, "Why are you still cuckolding yourself!" ”

The word green hat was also learned from Ming Lanying before, but she didn't expect it to be used on her.

Wang Yuying looked at her again and again, "Please think twice, princess, this is ...... Not good! ”

Shan Zhao scratched his head, looking a little impatient, "Think twice about the princess and sister-in-law!" It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God, it's easy to bring it in, but it's hard to send it away when the time comes! Don't look at the way they are all easy to talk and handle now, in fact, there are a lot of means, and the prince is not here now, and after being carried into the house, it will not only block you, but also make a fuss. ”

"I'm not done yet!" Ming Lanying didn't expect the reaction of a few people to be so big when she casually mentioned it, "The money has been collected, of course I have to tell them that I will carry them into the mansion, but in the end, it is Ye Jielu who has the final say." ”

Mama Cai breathed a sigh of relief, "Does the princess want to perform with the prince?" ”

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, "Of course! I can't always do the good guys and the bad guys, what have I become? Singing big plays? ”

"First release the news, I intend to carry them into the mansion, and then let Ye Jielu come back and be dissatisfied with my actions, wouldn't it be good to interrupt them entering the mansion."

Hebai patted his chest, "A false alarm, scared me to death, scared me to death......"

Ming Lanying funnily flicked her brain melon seeds, and instructed Shan Zhao: "I'll work hard for you later, and go tell Ye Jielu about the concubine." ”

Shan Zhao grinned, "Guaranteed to complete the task!" ”

Three days later, in the military camp, Ye Jielu finally sent the group of burdensome prisoners of war back to the neighboring city, and led people to clean up the newly occupied city and plant their flags.

As soon as I rested for a while, I heard the secret guard report, "Master, the princess is looking for a concubine for you." ”

Ye Juelu: "? ”

In the afternoon, the guards came to report, "Lord, the princess wants to give you a concubine!" ”

Ye Jielu, who had just packed up his things and was about to go back: "?? ”

Then Shan Zhao hurriedly rode his horse and said to him, "Lord, the princess wants to give you twenty concubines!" ”

Ye Juelu, who had just turned over and got on the horse: "??? ”

What stimulated his lady?
