Next.

Xie Yuan woke up and looked out the window, it was still raining, and the house did not look damp because of the bamboo charcoal sachets, but the gloom of the rainy day was difficult to make people happy. The little maids who served Xie Yuan's daily life were not talking and laughing like in the past, they were all in no energy, and the atmosphere seemed a little dull.

Lily can't see this kind of scene the most, she is used to being spicy, and when Xie Yuan went to the nameless house for breakfast, she caught the maids and servants of Jinlan Garden and scolded them fiercely. Sure enough, after Xie Yuan came back from eating, the little maids were in a lot of spirits.

"I'm afraid it will rain for another three or four days. Xie Yuan stood in front of the windowsill, looked at the chrysanthemum bushes that had been wilted by the rain, and said, "Mother, father, father, and father will be busy for a long time." ”

There are a lot of good fields in Qianyuan Houfu, and the Grange that the Shen family married is also a large number, so it can be said that half of the income of Qianyuan Houfu is brought by the Grange. As soon as it rained, all the crops in the grange were destroyed.

Without a harvest, it will be difficult to survive the winter, let alone the New Year.

Lotus Seed and Longan didn't have relatives on the grange, so they didn't think about it that much. Lily and almond are all maids sent by the grange to serve, and their fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters-in-law are all working in the grange, and there is no harvest, and the family is not happy.

Almond looked at Xie Yuan and wanted to ask for leave to go back to the Grange to have a look, but she opened her mouth, and suddenly thought that Zihe, the eldest girl next to the second girl, was scolded for failing to take leave with her mother, and closed her mouth.

Lily also wanted to say something, and she hit the almond lightly, but the almond was stunned and did not speak.

"What do you want to say?" As if there were eyes behind his back, Xie Yuan turned to look at the two big girls, "Yes, you old sons and mothers are all on the grange, but you want to go back and take a look?"

After getting along for two years, the four big girls are used to Xie Yuan's extraordinary intuition, and they have long lost their original fear and fear.

"The girl is really like a god. Lianzi said in a low voice.

Lily nodded without thinking, she didn't know about Zihe, and was full of worries about her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law who were far away in the Grange, Almond hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded, "The maidservants want to go back and have a look." The maid's mother would have sore bones every rainy day and couldn't get out of bed, and the maid was worried. ”

"The stewards of the Grange should still be reporting to my father about the Grange at this time, and they should have had lunch before going back. You go to Mother Zhang's place and get ten taels of silver, and after lunch, I will allow you to come back in three days with the stewards going back. Xie Yuan said.

"Thank you, girl!" Lily and Almond looked at each other, and both saw each other's joy.

Xie Yuan waved his hand and walked towards the small study.

She also has to study recipes such as rouge gouache, so that she can hand it over to Rong Jin to do business in the shop.

Although the merchants of the Da'an Dynasty belonged to the last stream, because of the prosperity of the Hu merchants, the people of the time did not look down on the big merchants, and it was not too lowly to engage in business. Even the Shen family occasionally went to the shop to take a look, not to mention the powerful people in the capital.

An autumn rain and a cold, this four or five consecutive days of autumn brought a lot of disasters to the Da'an Dynasty that was about to enter the Yuan Dynasty.

First of all, the embankment built on the bank of the Jiangnan River was overturned by the surging river, which washed away most of the farmland on the south bank of the Jiangnan River and flooded more than 10 villages; then a palace in the imperial palace that had been in disrepair for a long time collapsed due to heavy rains, and many houses of Bai Yujing were also damaged; and the farms were seriously affected because of the flooding caused by the heavy rains, and many people were drowned.

The emperor and his courtiers were very busy, but in the past two years, because there was no war and no major disasters, the gold in the treasury was used by the emperor to build a summer resort, and the time and space were empty. Even if the emperor's small treasury was opened, the entire palace would be frugal, and he would not be able to take out 100,000 taels of silver.

At this time, Rong Jin saw the opportunity to offer a plan: to encourage the minister and the family to raise donations, which not only solved the urgent need for money, but also slaughtered the powerful ministers of the family.

After a little thought, the emperor agreed to Rong Jin's plan, but asked Rong Jin to do it.

Naturally, he did this matter to a successful conclusion, and even the four top gate valves with the most capital did not tear his face with him. After everything was done, the emperor promoted Rong Jin as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he was extremely favored, and Rong Jin was in the limelight for a while.

was slaughtered, and all the major families hated it.

Even Zhao Wei, a favorite minister, felt a sense of crisis. Fortunately, his daughter Zhao Xi was a capable person, took out her mother's dowry, sent people to collect a lot of grain in the south, and made a lot of money by taking advantage of this natural disaster;

Qianyuan Houfu was also slaughtered by the emperor, in order to compensate, the emperor specially sent two beautiful palace maids, carried in a small sedan chair, entered the Hou Mansion from the side door, and also rewarded a few boxes of silk and satin, its intention is self-evident.

Because it was the emperor's reward, the Shen family politely invited people in, let them live in the Wuyi Courtyard in the northeast corner, arranged for the maids and servants to serve them, and replaced the various objects and furnishings in the Wuyi Courtyard with new ones, which seemed to be very thoughtful, but actually put the two palace maids under house arrest in disguise.

Originally, the two palace maids thought that Xie Yi would remember them, after all, they could enter the palace, and they were also one in a thousand beauties, and their figure and appearance were first-class. At the same time, because she is a palace maid who is ready to give away, the Queen Mother sent a few old grandmothers to transfer a few of them // teach them all over the place, as long as the man touches his body, there is no reason to ignore it.

It's a pity that Xie Yi really loves his wife, the husband and wife raise their eyebrows, and the plaice has been in love for many years and has a tacit understanding. The Shen family snubbed the two palace maids, Xie Yi didn't ask at all, not to mention stepping into the Wuyi Courtyard, even passing by.

The two palace maids lived in the Wuyi courtyard for two months, and they only heard that they were all carried by their aunts, but they didn't know that they hadn't even seen Xie Yi's face once.

"This jealous woman!" the two aunts gritted their teeth when they mentioned the Shen family.

They have the support of the queen mother and the emperor, but where does the queen mother and the emperor have the reason to extend their hands to the backyard of the courtiers?

Their curse soon reached the ears of the Shen family, and at that time, the Shen family was teaching Xie Huan to read the account book, and smiled at Xie Huan: "The concubine is just a thing, with their documents, killing or selling, they are all at the mercy of the master's mother, and there is no reason to cross the master's mother." ”

Xie Huan's expression was depressed, because she admired the six princes, she was severely taught by Xie Yi, and asked the Shen family to choose a good son-in-law for her as soon as possible. The girl couldn't be pregnant with spring, she had some resentment towards Shen and Xie Yi, if it weren't for the maids around her to stop her, maybe she would have to go out of the house to see the six princes.

As soon as Shen looked at Xie Huan, he knew what Xie Huan was thinking, she had a headache about this daughter who was not born to her recently. There are a lot of big truths, but they can't stand people's left ears in and out of their right ears; beating and scolding, Xie Huan is thirteen years old, and in two years, plus Shen is not her biological mother, how can Shen do it?

And Xie Huan is willful and arrogant, but he is also a stubborn person, and he will not look back if he decides it.

Shen pondered for a moment, put down the account book, and said: "If you hire a wife, you will run as a concubine, and it is absolutely impossible for the daughter of my Qianyuan Houfu to be the side concubine of his sixth prince." You go back and think about it carefully for half a month, and if you still insist on not marrying him, come to me. ”

Xie Huan stared at Shen and nodded.

"Madam, the emperor has rewarded two more beauties. Ah Xi walked in quietly, "It's not for the Hou Ye, but for the eldest prince." ”

Shen waved his hand: "Send someone to keep an eye on it, and Cheng'er will deal with it himself." After a slight pause, she said, "You talk to Brother Cheng and ask him to comfort his sister." Although I am their mother, I am not my own child after all, so I can't interfere too much. ”

The emperor is really determined to attack the family door valve, and he sent four beauties twice in a row, and slaughtered the family door valve in the autumn rain season, and I am afraid that there will only be a lot more such bad things in the future. However, Xie Huan was clamoring to marry the sixth prince again, suffering from lovesickness, and there was no peace all day long.

Fortunately, the Shen family's son and daughter are still young, Xie Cheng, as the eldest son of Qianyuan Houfu, was cultivated as a prince, although he is still immature in life, but he can also be responsible for honing it.

No matter how noisy Qianyuan Houfu was, Xie Yuan's courtyard was peaceful, at least on the surface.

"Okay, you all go out, I'll be alone and quiet. Xie Yuan, who was reading a book, suddenly raised his head and gave an order to the maids and maids who were waiting, "I will call you if there is something." ”

Gui Yuan and Almond glanced at each other, stepped back and closed the door considerately.

"What's going on with the girl, these last few months?" Almond couldn't help but muttered to Guiyuan, "kicking us out from time to time." ”

Answer: Tryst with a beautiful boy.

Looking at Rong Jin, who was familiar with the way and lying on his soft couch to eat snacks, Xie Yuan only felt that his anger exploded all of a sudden.

This guy whose skin is several times thicker than the city wall disturbs her cultivation, drinks her tea, eats her snacks, and takes advantage of her from time to time! Originally, she still came once in a while, but these days she came to report every day, which made her unbearable!

Xie Yuan stood up and slapped the table, her long hair was windless, her expression was hideous, but her small momentum was also weakened a lot: "Rong Jin!

Feeling that the aura of the entire small study was beginning to become disordered, Rong Jin pouted casually: "Ayuan, if you are so idle, help me assassinate a few old stubborns!"

He stretched out his hand and pushed it flat, and Xie Yuan was pushed down on the chair by him in the air.

Sitting up and wiping his fingers sticking to the crumbs, Rong Jin said with a straight face: "Help me prepare a poison/medicine, which can make people weak and die within half a year, and it can't make people find the poison." I know you can make it. ”

Xie Yuan stared at him for a moment, rubbed his fingers on the embroidered cuffs, and asked slowly, "Do you want to be the emperor?"

Rong Jin smiled lightly: "Ayuan wants to be the queen, so I will be the emperor." ”

Xie Yuan waited for a while before hearing his last sentence: "I have been an emperor for hundreds of years in my last life, and I am a little tired." ”

Xie Yuan sneered and snorted, "I didn't know that you, a guy who is obsessed with power, would hate power. "I'm afraid that he is sitting in that highest position, and he still wants more and more.

"......" Sure enough, the bitter love card doesn't work for this strange woman who is as cold as iron?

Rong Jin was silent for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice: "Believe it or not." ”

The small study was silent, Xie Yuan raised her eyelids, and the soft couch was empty, but Rong Jin was gone. Glancing at the plate with only dim sum crumbs left, Xie Yuan said loudly: "Lotus seed, ask the little maid to bring some dim sum." ”

Her voice was too quiet to hear joy or anger.
