The rich and noble peasant daughter
Chapter 144 Destroyed Conscience, Daughter League
Chapter 144 Destroyed Conscience, Daughter League
As the only county lord of Fenghuang County...or even in the entire Chuzhou, the turmoil of canonization has been less than two months, and Yun Xi's every move still attracts a lot of attention.
In addition, her hot pot restaurant, Chuanchuanxiang shop, and ice drink shop are all booming, and her newly opened shop has naturally entered people's sights.
After successfully obtaining the saltpeter, Yun Xi started making ice cubes when the weather became hot.Even the hot pot restaurant has launched a special ice hot pot for summer, which is very popular.There are three shops, and ice basins are piled up in the house to cool off the heat. In this hot summer, the business is too good.
Other houses don't even have ice cubes, how can they be so extravagant as to cool down the room like theirs.
Because Yunxi brought back a lot of saltpeter back then, in one summer, not only could it be used by her own family and shops, but she could also be used as a favor.
It is for this reason that the paper shop has attracted much attention since its opening, and it can be regarded as a success.But the paper shop can't do this, after all, the paper needs to pay more attention to moisture-proof.It’s just that compared to the other three stores, this paper store is obviously a lot colder and colder. Two kinds of paper that you have never seen before cost ten taels a dollar. Bargain.
The price of ten taels a knife is enough to scare off most of them.
But Yun Xi had already sent some out as a reason before, and everyone knew the excellence of these two kinds of paper.
So on the first day of opening the store, one-third of the month's share was sold.
Yun Xi sat in the store for a long time and found that both Guo Zhener and the jade she transferred from the hot pot restaurant were doing well, and the paper store even had two people from Master House as guards to prevent trouble.After all, Guo Zhen'er's appearance is still good, it would be bad if she meets the kind of customers who want to take advantage of her.
Seeing that there was really nothing for her here, she went back.
Speaking of which, Yunxi's paper shop is indeed extremely capricious. If one month's share is sold out in advance, the shop will be closed directly and reopened at the beginning of next month.She seems to have seen a scene where the paper store only needs to open for one day a month in the future.This possibility is very high. When the word of mouth spreads and everyone knows that the water pattern paper and the continuous history paper are good, I am afraid that there will be a lot of people at the door asking people from their families to line up.
Such willful behavior in the eyes of people is another topic of conversation.After all, you have never seen a business like this, it is full of gimmicks.But he didn't say anything, after all, Yun Xi didn't force them to buy the quality of the paper.
After deducting the cost, the store's monthly net income is 800 taels.This money, Yun Xi directly recorded it on the Zhuangzi's bill and kept it as expenses.
In the future, if Yunxi wants to build more Zhuangzi, she can also get money from them.
Considering that everyone has worked hard during this time, she even ordered the kitchen over there to have at least one meat dish for every meal.
After the ducks grow to a large scale, the roast duck restaurant can also officially open.After autumn... there are down jacket shops.
After doing this calculation, Yun Xi suddenly felt that she was quite busy.
While she was busy, she also received posts.Previously, because of the opening of the shop, Yun Xi rejected most of them, and finally managed to steal Fusheng's half-day leisure, so she directly read the invitations one by one.
Reading invitations is actually quite interesting. From the handwriting and wording on it, you can basically see a person's character, some are hearty, some are elegant, and some girls are introverted, so the number of handwriting reveals With a little hesitation.
It was Yun Shen who taught her to read characters, and there is some truth in knowing people by characters.
Yun Xi flipped through the invitations sent during this period, and found that the end of May happened to be the Jiji banquet for the daughter of the Shen family in the state capital.
The wife of the Shen family, Mrs. Shen Hu, accompanied Mrs. Dai to attend her wedding banquet two months ago, and she should go there as well.Because the two children Du Lei and Du Rui were really young, Du Zhou couldn't worry about them and couldn't leave them at all.
Although Yun Xi felt that the Du family did not have any friendship with the Shen family, and the friendship came from walking around, so in the end she decided to go to the appointment.
In the letter that Yanling sent her a few days ago, she also suggested that she take Yunyao with her.It is estimated that many girls from that circle will come to Miss Shen's wedding banquet.With Yun Xi's current status, if she entered that circle, she would not be looked down upon.
Yun Xi thought about it, and it is also possible to expand the social circle, and when it is not complete, it will be used.The more contacts, the better.
Mrs. Du Zhou also supported them very much, and even planned to make new clothes for Yun Xi and Yun Yao from the silks and satins bestowed by the Emperor Chu.
Yun Xi said: "It's fine to make one set from the reward from the Holy Majesty. For the other set, use the Yuehua brocade sent by the Yang family the day before yesterday to make a Yuehua skirt."
After several months of exploration, the Yang family had successfully made the Yuehua Jin some time ago with Yun Xi's reminder.I have to admit that the Yang family did know how to behave, and even sent some to the Du family.
Yun Xi thought in her heart: I'm afraid the Yang family has already planned to use the Yuehua Brocade as a royal tribute.The quality is there, and the qualifications for selection are at hand.
Mrs. Du Zhou thought of the beautiful Yuehua brocade in the warehouse at home, and nodded, "Okay, I will use that to make Yuehua skirts for you." Yuehua skirts are now popular in the whole Chuzhou, and it is said that even the capital is also popular.
She felt that the quality of the tributes and Yuehua brocade was so good that at least half of them would be collected by then.No matter how late Yunxi is, she will get married within two or three years, so it's better to have more good things in the bottom of the box.
Thinking of this, she started to have a headache. Her niece is good in everything, but she is too generous, and her hands are too loose to save things.
Over there, Yun Xi still didn't know the entanglement in her heart, so she said to her: "Ma'am, you also remember to make two sets of clothes for yourself, as well as for the elder sister and uncle. Our family can barely be regarded as a respectable family now, When you go out and walk, you can’t only have those few sets of good clothes. If you can’t afford it, forget it, but our family doesn’t lack that kind of money. We don’t lack these good things either.”
Especially those silks and satins in the storeroom, which are in disorder, can be worn for at least two years.
When Du Zhou heard that he would lose face to the Du family, he could only nod in agreement.
Yun Xi felt that it would not be possible to change their thrifty thinking in a day or two. Yun Yao was fine, the child's three views hadn't been formally formed yet, and at the age of loving beauty, I quickly got used to the days when I often have new clothes to wear.
Yun Xi said: "Many officials and families not only make new clothes every year and festival, but also have at least two sets every season. Our family is thrifty like this." She didn't tell Du Zhou that such families are basically state-owned clothes. The Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion.
When Du Zhou made the comparison, he felt a lot better. In the past few days, he planned to make the clothes of Yun Xi and Yun Yao first.
When Yun Yao heard that she was going to play in the state capital, she was immediately very happy, and began to take out her jewelry and choose.
The little girl also expressed very generously that if Yun Xi likes something, she can take it as she pleases.
Three days before their departure, the little girl Mingyue also ran down from the Taoist temple to play with Yun Xi. Hearing that Yun Xi was going to the state capital, she wanted to go with her.It's not a big deal to have one more her, and it shows that Yue is very easy to raise.
Yun Xi nodded and agreed. This child is also pitiful. Apart from the capital city and Fenghuang County, she doesn't seem to have been to any other places. It's good to take her out to relax.
The eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Ruhua, had her birthday on May 23, and Yun Xi and his party set off on the 21st, and arrived at the state capital before dark.
This time Yun Xi did not live in Dai's house anymore, but chose to rest in the house she bought earlier.When Yun Xi went out this time, the carriage also transported ice cubes.It is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. I am used to ice cubes, and I feel uncomfortable without an ice basin in the room when I sleep.
The next morning, after eating the breakfast that Lai San bought from outside, when she woke up, she sent a message to tell Yan Ling that they had arrived.
To Yun Xi's surprise, this fritters are also sold in the state capital, and the taste is not bad.
Lai San smiled and said: "When I bought fried dough sticks, those who sold fried dough sticks praised you for your kindness, and they all said that it was thanks to you for giving the recipe of fried dough sticks to the common people selflessly."
Yun Xi smiled, the gratitude of ordinary people is always so simple and simple.
After breakfast, Yun Xi practiced another set of sword skills, and Yan Ling came over.
Originally, this house was not too far from her home.
Yun Xi looked behind Yan Ling, and couldn't help asking, "Did you change guards?" Then Wen Ziran disappeared.
Yan Ling's joy at seeing her disappeared after hearing her question, and she looked sleepy, "I don't know, his family found him and took him back, leaving only a lot of presents. "
Looking at his expression, Yun Xi was more unaccustomed to Wen Ziran's departure, I'm afraid Yan Ling hadn't developed that kind of thought about Wen Ziran yet.
She asked curiously: "Then do you know his identity? Has his memory recovered after meeting someone he knew?"
Yan Ling snorted, with a bit of dissatisfaction in her expression, "I didn't expect that I would be so powerful. If I rescued him casually, I would become the son of the Wen family in the capital."
She paused, and said: "Wen Ziran is the son of Qingyang Hou in the capital. He returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors this time, but unfortunately he met a bad guy on his way. The guards tried their best to let him escape, and I happened to be the one who saved him."
"I know that I'm a daughter of a connoisseur, and it's nothing to be in the capital. But I can be regarded as Wen Ziran's savior anyway. Their family looks like they are afraid that I will rely on it. It's really disgusting."
Yun Xi was silent for a while, and understood where Yan Ling's anger came from.What the Wen family did... really made her not know what to say.
Yan Ling said, "I'm relieved to send this Buddha away now."
Yun Xi asked, "What's Wen Ziran's reaction?" If he looked down on Yan Ling after knowing his identity, then Yun Xi would just think that he had misjudged his character earlier.
Yan Ling was quiet for a while, and then said: "After he found out, he apologized to me in person, and even got angry with those people. It's just that his grandma seems to be seriously ill and bedridden because of his disappearance, so he can only rush back to the capital first. inside."
The capital city... Yun Xi doesn't know whether Yan Ling and Wen Ziran are destined to be together in the future.She only hoped that her good friend could live happily all her life.
Seeing that she fell silent, Yan Ling quickly said: "Okay, don't talk about these troublesome things. It's rare for you to come here, how can I bother you with such things. When you go to my house later, although the Wen family's attitude is quite nice It’s disgusting, but I sent you a lot of good gifts, I think there are a few pieces of jewelry that are quite suitable for you, you can go and pick them out later.”
Yun Xi wanted to make her happy, she didn't refuse, she agreed with a smile.
In private, Yan Ling also told her that her father's term of office will be up this year, and he is afraid that he will leave Chuzhou by then.
Yan Ling grew up in Chuzhou, and she was extremely reluctant about this.
Yun Xi could only comfort her, "Maybe your father can be re-elected." This kind of situation also exists.
Yan Ling curled her lips and said, "Let's talk about it."
This place is different from modern times. In modern times, even if the world is far apart, there is only one side. With mobile phones and computers, communication could not be more convenient.But in this era, once they left Chuzhou, the chances of the two of them meeting would be slim.
Yun Xi could only comfort her with a poem, "A confidant in the sea is like a neighbor in the world. Even if we don't see each other for several years, we will still be best friends by then."
When Yan Ling heard this, it was rare for this bright and generous girl to have red eyes, "Sure! Even if you make new friends, you can't be better than me." Even if she was jealous, she was frank.
Although she and Yun Xi had known each other for less than two years, she felt that it would be difficult for her to find a more congenial friend than her.
Yun Xi chuckled, "Definitely."
Yan Ling talked and laughed with her, her mood improved a lot, and she smiled and said: "By the way, do you know? A juggling troupe came to the city yesterday. It is said that it is very interesting and the business is very prosperous. When the time comes, we will Let's go and have a look together!"
Yun Xi nodded, "Okay, let's go together later."
Yun Xi held Mingyue with one hand and Yunyao with the other, and was accompanied by guards, which can be described as majestic.
She went straight to the jewelry store at the first stop. Yun Xi felt that Du Zhou's didn't have many decent jewelry, and the only complete set of good-looking jewelry was the jadeite she had given her earlier.The state capital is much richer than Fenghuang County, and there are more styles of jewelry.
After Yun Xi picked out the gold hairpin, she also made several sets of silver-headed noodles. The patterns were all drawn by herself. Seeing that her patterns were exquisite and elegant, Yan Ling couldn't help asking her to design a set for her as well.
Because it was made to order, it would take at least three days to get it, but Yun Xi originally had to stay in the state capital for a few more days, so three days was not a concern.
After paying the deposit, the group went to see the sideshow.The juggling troupe also specially rented a bad restaurant as a venue.
Tickets are quite expensive, one tael per person.However, none of these people were short of money. After asking, Yun Xi directly booked a box, anyway, there were a lot of them.A box is 20 taels of silver.
It's just that 20 taels of silver can only buy a relatively small box, which can just hold them.
After paying the money, they were led to the third floor by a guy who bowed down.Yun Xi and the others came at just the right time, and they could start a new one after a quarter of an hour.It is said that the program of this juggling class comes every hour, and they happen to be the second shift today.
Serve them tea and snacks neatly, the tea is just ordinary, and the snacks are also the kind of tens of pennies.Yun Xi tasted it and found it too greasy, so she only took one bite and put it down.
Yun Xi directly took out the pastries she just bought outside and put them on the table.
Several people chatted casually for a while, and the following program began.
Her gaze froze as soon as she looked towards the center of the first floor.
Standing in the very center is a woman with a human head and a snake body, her appearance is just ordinary, with a corporate smile on her face, she is bouncing the ball with her tail, one after another.The upper body is a human, but the lower body is a snake, seemingly harmless playing with a ball.
Occasionally, he accidentally dropped the ball and rolled it up with his own tail.
The onlookers exclaimed and laughed, as if they thought the scene was funny.
Yan Ling's face was full of doubts, "Why are there people with a human head and a snake body?"
Yun Xi's face completely sank.This kind of person who is contrary to nature... is obviously created deliberately.
She suddenly remembered that she had seen in her previous life that some children were abducted, their hands and feet were broken, and they were made to beg.Some are kept in jars at a young age.
As for the girl below, she was obviously a half-human, half-animal product that was forced to marry wild animals.I don't know what they did, but they actually succeeded in breaking through the breeding isolation.
Yan Ling sensed the killing intent emanating from her body, couldn't help shaking her body, turned her head, and looked at her puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, restraining the killing intent on her body.Even if he wants to have an attack, he has to wait until he gets out of this restaurant.
In addition to this girl with a snake-tailed body, there were also many deformed products behind her.There are dwarfs with short limbs but heads as big as adults, and there are freaks with hands and feet turned upside down. They do ridiculous behaviors and laugh at the big men who spend money in consumption.
Yun Yao obviously didn't like this kind of scene very much, she frowned and muttered, "These people are really pitiful."
Yun Xi didn't say a word, these people are pitiful, and the people who made them are even more hateful.I'm afraid that this theater troupe will be involved in a kidnapping gang.
She suppressed the anger in her heart and watched the performance.This restaurant is obviously very spacious, but she feels breathless.
After the performance was over and she came out, Yan Ling looked at the door of the restaurant, "It's pitiful for those people to have fun in front of others, and I don't know how much of the ticket money will fall on them today."
Mingyue was frightened when she saw the snake girl in front of her, and she basically turned her back and refused to look at it.
Yun Xi didn't speak, but took them back to her house first.
She shook her head, her lips pursed into a straight line in anger, "They're not born this way."
"what?"
Everyone else turned to look at her.
Yun Xi sneered and said: "The so-called juggling troupe are nothing but kidnappers. Do you know how those freaks grow up? Young children were captured by them and raised in jars. In the end, their limbs were all twisted, but there was no distortion. She also became a dwarf. The so-called snake girl is just a product of forcing people and giant snakes..."
Although her voice was barely calm, her eyes were like ice in December, so cold that it could freeze people.
Yanling and Yunyao had never heard of such unimaginable things before, their lips trembled with anger, "It's so cruel and inhuman!"
"Those kidnappers are not worthy of being called human beings at all."
"A thousand cuts to death is not too much."
The little girl Mingyue frowned and said, "Can we rescue them?"
Yun Xi touched her head and said, "It's ok."
The reason why she didn't talk about it in the restaurant was because she was afraid that Yanling and the others would get angry on the spot, and then they would startle the snake instead.
Yan Ling's eyes were filled with anger, "This troupe opened yesterday, so no one knows what's going on?"
Fortunately, Yun Xi didn't serve tea, otherwise Yan Ling would be so angry that she would crush the cup and hurt herself instead.
Yun Xi's eyes were cold, "Most people think they are born like this... But they never think that even if some are indeed born like this, it is impossible for them to be taken by this juggling troupe. Those who know the inside story are afraid of their Retaliation, how dare you report the crime. What's more, they can rent the restaurant and open it smoothly. I'm afraid there are some officials colluding with them behind it. For most people, it's not their children who were kidnapped and killed. Naturally, it has nothing to do with them Hang up high." The knife didn't cut himself, so he didn't know the pain.
After hearing this, Yan Ling became even angrier, "They are afraid of revenge, but I am not! At least my father and the prefect must not know about it, and they will not participate in such a conscienceless thing."
She stomped her feet, "I'll go back and tell my dad."
Yun Xi nodded, "It's fine if you go back."
If the magistrate really had nothing to do with this matter, and broke the case, it would be quite a political achievement.
When Yan Ling thought that those people were still suffering, she couldn't sit still. She was a chivalrous girl in essence.
Yun Xi looked at her back, and sent Yun Yao to talk with Ming Yue, who was obviously frightened by their words, to divert her attention.
He himself asked Lai San, "How many manpower do we have in Wanshiwu?"
Lai San said: "The Wanshiwu we opened here has twelve on the bright side, and there are twenty or so behind the scenes." Because Yunxi opened a branch in the state capital, and because of the state capital The business was really good, so Lai San sent more people over.
Yun Xi nodded, it's not good to mobilize people like this.Her eyes narrowed slightly, "You send most of them to guard the restaurant, and see if you can spot some people behind the scenes."
Lai San nodded, he also deeply hated those kidnappers.After his baby sister was sold by his father before, he suffered a lot and suffered from aphasia ever since.Although Xiao Si was sold by his father on his own initiative, he obviously channeled his anger on all the kidnappers, Ren Yazi.
What's more, he also saw the miserable appearance of those people, and anyone with a bit of conscience would not be able to see it.
While Lai San sent people to watch the juggling board, at least five or six people were secretly guarding Yun Xi's house.Although Yun Xi was said to be highly skilled, there was a possibility that he might be tricked if he didn't keep it all together, so Yun Xi didn't have any objections to this secret protection.
On the other hand, Yan Ling was really full of energy.When he got home, he immediately went to his father, Mr. Dai, to file a complaint.
Dai Hai's thinking was the same as Yun Xi's, knowing that this was a good opportunity to make contributions, he didn't even care about lunch, so he immediately went to the house of his boss, the magistrate.
Yun Xi knew that this juggling troupe was going to end, so she smiled slightly.
The reason why she asked Lai San's people to watch them was to prevent anyone from getting away.In her eyes, these people are full of crimes, how can they escape.
That night, she received news that the entire juggling team had been kicked out by the magistrate.Even the few officials behind were dug out, and the least thing waiting for them was exile.
For those kidnappers, the prefect of Chuzhou can at least directly sentence them to beheaded, but he has no right to make decisions about the officials involved. He can only temporarily take them into custody, and then hand them over to the emperor for disposal.
However, in one night, many officials in Chuzhou were dismissed, which can be described as turbulent.
After Yun Xi found out, she was very relieved, and even ate an extra bowl at night.
The next day, the two sisters, Yunyao and Yunyao, put on delicate and fairy-like Yuehua dresses, and prepared to go to Shen's house when the time came.
Yan Ling brought Mao Yiyun over early in the morning, and said to her: "I don't know if the Shen family is still in the mood to organize their young lady's wedding banquet today?"
Yun Xi looked at her in surprise, "Could it be that the Shen family was also involved in what happened yesterday?"
Mao Yiyun asked enthusiastically: "What happened last night? How did I hear that many officials were imprisoned?"
Yan Ling frowned, "Shen Ruhua's uncle, Hu Bin, is the general judge of Chuzhou. He heard that the juggling troupe entered our Chuzhou, and he had to give him [-]% of the interest. He is also the biggest official involved in our Chuzhou this time." .”
For the eldest lady of the Shen family, this is a disaster for no reason.Her own uncle was imprisoned for this kind of thing, and she didn't look good.
Especially early in the morning, the magistrate first spread the appalling inside story of this troupe, and the common people were filled with righteous indignation, cursing this inhumane behavior one after another.While praising the magistrate's benevolence, they scolded the Hu family for using this kind of flesh and blood money, and they are not afraid of cutting off their children and grandchildren.
Perhaps Hu Bin's imprisonment gave them some kind of hint, and some daring ones went directly to Hu's house to throw excrement secretly.
The Shen family didn't fare well either, Shen Hu was the daughter of the Hu family, and she was very close to her natal family.I don't know who said that this is how Shen Hu's generous dowry came from before. The common people immediately found a vent, and even the Shen family's house was thrown with dung.
Speaking of it, this is really nonsense.It has been 20 years since Mrs. Shen Hu got married, and at that time Hu Bin hadn't even been awarded a Jinshi.Her dowry has nothing to do with it.But where would the angry common people think of these joints.
Yun Yao looked at her new dress and asked, "Then shall we still go to Shen's house?"
Her tone was a little reluctant, obviously unwilling to go over.Recalling the performance she saw in the restaurant, she felt a deep dislike for the Hu family, and this emotion was also transferred to Shen Hu.
Yun Xi looked at Yan Ling and Yi Yun, "Are you two going?"
Yan Ling shook her head, "I won't go. My father told me not to go, saying that although the Shen family has not been caught, the Shen family may be involved."
Yi Yun said casually: "If Yan Ling doesn't go, then I won't go either." She paused and said, "I'm afraid that many people will find excuses to miss their appointments today, so it doesn't matter if there are more of us."
Yun Xi nodded, and simply wrote a letter, which probably meant something like this: After they arrived at the state capital city, they went out for a stroll, but her two younger sisters accidentally suffered from heatstroke, and she also I can only miss the appointment.
Well, she thought her wording was quite euphemistic.
After writing it, she checked it and found no mistakes, so Yun Xi asked Wang Dazhu to deliver the letter to the Shen family.
Then a group of them got together and continued to talk about the officials involved.Among them, the main source of information is Yan Ling's side, who made her father a co-intellect.However, what Yan Ling said was also something that could be found out by careful inquiries from outsiders.Dai Hai is also a measured person, it is impossible to tell his daughter all the important information, basically they are all selected.
Her tone was a bit regretful, "It's a pity that Dad's actions still made people panic. I heard that several people escaped after receiving the news in advance."
Yun Xi remembered that she let Lai San stare at them before, and a trace of sternness flashed in her eyes: Even if she escaped, she would not let these people go easily, at least let them taste the pain of those who were tortured.
She felt a little heavy, "Then what about those who were rescued? How to arrange them?"
Even if these people are victims, they will be bathed in people's strange eyes and pointed at in the future.Especially the snake girl, I'm afraid everyone doesn't think she is a human, but a monster.Moreover, many of them have only been trained how to please people since they were young, and they numbly obeyed those people's instructions. Bao Buqi lost the ability to survive in the crowd.
If there was no arrangement from the imperial court, Yun Xi would buy another small manor, place them in it, and teach them slowly.
Yan Ling seemed to have thought of this too, "My father said that he will try his best to help find their family members first."
Mao Yiyun blurted out: "But they are like this now, I'm afraid there will be many people in their family who don't want to recognize them?"
Yan Ling's tone was firm, "It's okay, when the time comes, I'll arrange them in the Zhuangzi I bought earlier, at worst, I'll raise them. Anyway, I get a lot of hot pot dividends every month, so I can afford it."
Her thoughts are the same as Yun Xi's.
Mao Yiyun said: "I'll pay part of the money too. My grandma loves me so much. My monthly money is dozens of taels."
Yun Xi looked at them with a smile, both Yan Ling and Yi Yun were good boys.
"And me!" Yun Yao followed suit.
Yun Xi smiled and said: "You guys forgot, I am the biggest rich man." She thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea in her mind, "I think there must be a lot of kind-hearted official ladies like you, why don't we send them away?" Invite them in too, let's all contribute to build Zhuangzi together, how about resettling this group of people?"
Bringing in all the ladies from the official family can be regarded as forming an alliance.Otherwise, they will indeed do good things by then, but if their reputation is too loud, they will be easily hated.It's better to do good deeds together and have a good reputation together.The parents of those girls should also be very willing for their girls to have a good reputation.
She paused, and said: "The abducted children must not be limited to people from this juggling class. If there are other people in the future, they can continue to be sent to this Zhuangzi."
Yan Ling couldn't help clapping her hands, "That's a good idea!"
Thinking of how many people could be helped after this matter was successful, her heart became hot.
Yun Xi said: "Let's discuss the specific plan again... Well, I'll make some ice cream to get rid of the heat."
She brought a lot of ice cubes on this trip and put them in the cellar.
A portion of it kept well enough to be served cold.
It doesn't snow often in Chuzhou in winter, and many wealthy households can't store ice cubes for summer, so ice can be regarded as an expensive item.
Yan Ling's eyes lit up, "I don't know where you got so many ice cubes, I'm really envious." But this involves a friend's business secrets, Yan Ling is just envious at most.
When she made the fruit ice, they all ate it.
Yun Xi stared at Mingyue, only letting her eat half a bowl, and then refused to let her eat more, for fear that she would accidentally catch a cold because she was small.Although Mingyue was full of displeasure, she was still obedient.
After Yanling ate the ice cubes, she happily went back to prepare for this matter.
Yun Xi originally planned to go back after attending Shen Ruhua's Jiji banquet, but now, not only did she not attend the Jiji banquet, but she had to stay and organize this matter with Yan Ling.Because of her disgust towards the Shen family, Yan Ling didn't intend to inform Shen Ruhua about the Daughter League.
Soon, Yan Ling posted a post and invited all the girls with names and surnames from the state capital.
On May 25th, all the people who received the post went to Dai's house.They are not fools, and they can't see that this is a good opportunity to build their reputation. For those who don't understand, their parents will explain the benefits to them.However, some of them really feel sorry for those children who have been made into such a miserable state.
Yunxi also developed a so-called membership model.The girls who come to participate today will all become honorary members of this Daughter League.There is one president and five vice presidents in the Daughter League.
Because this idea was proposed by Yun Xi, Yan Ling still wants Yun Xi to be the chairman of the president. If it was before, everyone would still be unconvinced.But now Yun Xi is not only the county lord, but no one present has a higher status than her.She also proposed the idea of the Daughter League, which benefited everyone present.
So I was really convinced by this candidate.
Instead, Yun Xi waved her hand and refused, "I'll forget it, my family isn't here, and it's inconvenient to deal with things at ordinary times, so let someone else be the president." She thought for a while, and said: "It's better to change the president every three years. Alright. If our members get married, they will automatically be promoted to veterans."
After all, the main body of the Daughter League is those girls who have not yet left the cabinet.She is not interested in being the chairman of the president, anyway, everyone knows where her credit lies.Although the president has great power, she also has many things to do, and her family is in Fenghuang County, so she can't come here often.With this time, she might as well worry about the affairs of her village.
Yun Xi thought a little deeper, maybe in the future girls from other states would learn from them and establish this daughter alliance.But no matter what everyone's original intentions are, the people who will benefit in the end are those who are suffering, so her goal will be achieved.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed, "How is it the same as being an official?"
Everyone's enthusiasm is higher.
Yun Xi coughed, "Of course you can be re-elected, but you can't be re-elected more than twice."
Finally, after discussion, it was decided that Yan Ling would be the chairman, and five vice-chairmen. Yun Xi and Yiyun were both selected. Although Yun Xi was not familiar with the other three, they were also vice-chairmen. Also familiar.
Everyone else is an honorary member.
As for the Shen family and the Hu family...as well as the girls from the families of the officials involved, they ignored them intentionally or unintentionally, and did not invite them.
Yanling also took out a roster and membership card overnight.
Everyone also donated money one after another, giving as much as they had.The family background is not particularly good, but they paid 20 taels, and Yun Xi paid 500 taels. She couldn't get past the president Yan Ling, and the other vice presidents also paid 500 taels. Even if they didn't have the money, their The family will also pay for them.Yun Xi also helped Yunyao and Mingyue pay out the money, each of them 200 taels.Fortunately, she habitually brought a lot of money when she came out this time, otherwise she would have to borrow money from Lai San.
All in all, the first fundraising of the Daughter League reached more than 6000 taels, which is enough to accommodate those people.As for how to use the money, this group of girls chatted non-stop every day, and they didn't feel bored at all.Even the Zhuangzi who was placed was selected by a group of people.This is the first time for every girl to participate in such a big event. Although the basic etiquette of the ladies can still be maintained on the surface, it can be seen from the slightly trembling hands and the voice that is a little higher than usual that they are still very excited. of.
The magistrate knew about their behavior and praised them severely in public.Look, even these boudoir girls under his rule know that they have to worry about the country. This is also his meritorious service, isn't it?And the court also saved the money to resettle them.He also planned to write this matter together in the notebook.
The officials below are also very happy, their children are honorary members of the League.The common people praised these ladies for being more beautiful.And invisibly, the girls who joined the Daughter's League have also gotten to know each other a lot because of the exchanges in the past few days, and the contacts of each family have expanded a little.
Dai Hai is very satisfied with this, you know, his eldest daughter Yan Ling is the president.Invisibly, his reputation among the common people has increased a lot.
Yun Xi has also benefited a lot, as the vice president... In the process of dealing with everyone, she basically got to know everyone, and there are many girls who have speculated on her.
Except for those people involved, the result of this treatment can be called a happy one.
On May 27, when she came back from Zhuangzi, after dinner, Lai San told her a piece of news: Zhuangzi, some of the rescued people disappeared.
I really saw it when I was a child. The person was packed in a small jar with her head exposed. It was a woman whose face was as big as an adult. get up creepy
(End of this chapter)
As the only county lord of Fenghuang County...or even in the entire Chuzhou, the turmoil of canonization has been less than two months, and Yun Xi's every move still attracts a lot of attention.
In addition, her hot pot restaurant, Chuanchuanxiang shop, and ice drink shop are all booming, and her newly opened shop has naturally entered people's sights.
After successfully obtaining the saltpeter, Yun Xi started making ice cubes when the weather became hot.Even the hot pot restaurant has launched a special ice hot pot for summer, which is very popular.There are three shops, and ice basins are piled up in the house to cool off the heat. In this hot summer, the business is too good.
Other houses don't even have ice cubes, how can they be so extravagant as to cool down the room like theirs.
Because Yunxi brought back a lot of saltpeter back then, in one summer, not only could it be used by her own family and shops, but she could also be used as a favor.
It is for this reason that the paper shop has attracted much attention since its opening, and it can be regarded as a success.But the paper shop can't do this, after all, the paper needs to pay more attention to moisture-proof.It’s just that compared to the other three stores, this paper store is obviously a lot colder and colder. Two kinds of paper that you have never seen before cost ten taels a dollar. Bargain.
The price of ten taels a knife is enough to scare off most of them.
But Yun Xi had already sent some out as a reason before, and everyone knew the excellence of these two kinds of paper.
So on the first day of opening the store, one-third of the month's share was sold.
Yun Xi sat in the store for a long time and found that both Guo Zhener and the jade she transferred from the hot pot restaurant were doing well, and the paper store even had two people from Master House as guards to prevent trouble.After all, Guo Zhen'er's appearance is still good, it would be bad if she meets the kind of customers who want to take advantage of her.
Seeing that there was really nothing for her here, she went back.
Speaking of which, Yunxi's paper shop is indeed extremely capricious. If one month's share is sold out in advance, the shop will be closed directly and reopened at the beginning of next month.She seems to have seen a scene where the paper store only needs to open for one day a month in the future.This possibility is very high. When the word of mouth spreads and everyone knows that the water pattern paper and the continuous history paper are good, I am afraid that there will be a lot of people at the door asking people from their families to line up.
Such willful behavior in the eyes of people is another topic of conversation.After all, you have never seen a business like this, it is full of gimmicks.But he didn't say anything, after all, Yun Xi didn't force them to buy the quality of the paper.
After deducting the cost, the store's monthly net income is 800 taels.This money, Yun Xi directly recorded it on the Zhuangzi's bill and kept it as expenses.
In the future, if Yunxi wants to build more Zhuangzi, she can also get money from them.
Considering that everyone has worked hard during this time, she even ordered the kitchen over there to have at least one meat dish for every meal.
After the ducks grow to a large scale, the roast duck restaurant can also officially open.After autumn... there are down jacket shops.
After doing this calculation, Yun Xi suddenly felt that she was quite busy.
While she was busy, she also received posts.Previously, because of the opening of the shop, Yun Xi rejected most of them, and finally managed to steal Fusheng's half-day leisure, so she directly read the invitations one by one.
Reading invitations is actually quite interesting. From the handwriting and wording on it, you can basically see a person's character, some are hearty, some are elegant, and some girls are introverted, so the number of handwriting reveals With a little hesitation.
It was Yun Shen who taught her to read characters, and there is some truth in knowing people by characters.
Yun Xi flipped through the invitations sent during this period, and found that the end of May happened to be the Jiji banquet for the daughter of the Shen family in the state capital.
The wife of the Shen family, Mrs. Shen Hu, accompanied Mrs. Dai to attend her wedding banquet two months ago, and she should go there as well.Because the two children Du Lei and Du Rui were really young, Du Zhou couldn't worry about them and couldn't leave them at all.
Although Yun Xi felt that the Du family did not have any friendship with the Shen family, and the friendship came from walking around, so in the end she decided to go to the appointment.
In the letter that Yanling sent her a few days ago, she also suggested that she take Yunyao with her.It is estimated that many girls from that circle will come to Miss Shen's wedding banquet.With Yun Xi's current status, if she entered that circle, she would not be looked down upon.
Yun Xi thought about it, and it is also possible to expand the social circle, and when it is not complete, it will be used.The more contacts, the better.
Mrs. Du Zhou also supported them very much, and even planned to make new clothes for Yun Xi and Yun Yao from the silks and satins bestowed by the Emperor Chu.
Yun Xi said: "It's fine to make one set from the reward from the Holy Majesty. For the other set, use the Yuehua brocade sent by the Yang family the day before yesterday to make a Yuehua skirt."
After several months of exploration, the Yang family had successfully made the Yuehua Jin some time ago with Yun Xi's reminder.I have to admit that the Yang family did know how to behave, and even sent some to the Du family.
Yun Xi thought in her heart: I'm afraid the Yang family has already planned to use the Yuehua Brocade as a royal tribute.The quality is there, and the qualifications for selection are at hand.
Mrs. Du Zhou thought of the beautiful Yuehua brocade in the warehouse at home, and nodded, "Okay, I will use that to make Yuehua skirts for you." Yuehua skirts are now popular in the whole Chuzhou, and it is said that even the capital is also popular.
She felt that the quality of the tributes and Yuehua brocade was so good that at least half of them would be collected by then.No matter how late Yunxi is, she will get married within two or three years, so it's better to have more good things in the bottom of the box.
Thinking of this, she started to have a headache. Her niece is good in everything, but she is too generous, and her hands are too loose to save things.
Over there, Yun Xi still didn't know the entanglement in her heart, so she said to her: "Ma'am, you also remember to make two sets of clothes for yourself, as well as for the elder sister and uncle. Our family can barely be regarded as a respectable family now, When you go out and walk, you can’t only have those few sets of good clothes. If you can’t afford it, forget it, but our family doesn’t lack that kind of money. We don’t lack these good things either.”
Especially those silks and satins in the storeroom, which are in disorder, can be worn for at least two years.
When Du Zhou heard that he would lose face to the Du family, he could only nod in agreement.
Yun Xi felt that it would not be possible to change their thrifty thinking in a day or two. Yun Yao was fine, the child's three views hadn't been formally formed yet, and at the age of loving beauty, I quickly got used to the days when I often have new clothes to wear.
Yun Xi said: "Many officials and families not only make new clothes every year and festival, but also have at least two sets every season. Our family is thrifty like this." She didn't tell Du Zhou that such families are basically state-owned clothes. The Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion.
When Du Zhou made the comparison, he felt a lot better. In the past few days, he planned to make the clothes of Yun Xi and Yun Yao first.
When Yun Yao heard that she was going to play in the state capital, she was immediately very happy, and began to take out her jewelry and choose.
The little girl also expressed very generously that if Yun Xi likes something, she can take it as she pleases.
Three days before their departure, the little girl Mingyue also ran down from the Taoist temple to play with Yun Xi. Hearing that Yun Xi was going to the state capital, she wanted to go with her.It's not a big deal to have one more her, and it shows that Yue is very easy to raise.
Yun Xi nodded and agreed. This child is also pitiful. Apart from the capital city and Fenghuang County, she doesn't seem to have been to any other places. It's good to take her out to relax.
The eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Ruhua, had her birthday on May 23, and Yun Xi and his party set off on the 21st, and arrived at the state capital before dark.
This time Yun Xi did not live in Dai's house anymore, but chose to rest in the house she bought earlier.When Yun Xi went out this time, the carriage also transported ice cubes.It is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. I am used to ice cubes, and I feel uncomfortable without an ice basin in the room when I sleep.
The next morning, after eating the breakfast that Lai San bought from outside, when she woke up, she sent a message to tell Yan Ling that they had arrived.
To Yun Xi's surprise, this fritters are also sold in the state capital, and the taste is not bad.
Lai San smiled and said: "When I bought fried dough sticks, those who sold fried dough sticks praised you for your kindness, and they all said that it was thanks to you for giving the recipe of fried dough sticks to the common people selflessly."
Yun Xi smiled, the gratitude of ordinary people is always so simple and simple.
After breakfast, Yun Xi practiced another set of sword skills, and Yan Ling came over.
Originally, this house was not too far from her home.
Yun Xi looked behind Yan Ling, and couldn't help asking, "Did you change guards?" Then Wen Ziran disappeared.
Yan Ling's joy at seeing her disappeared after hearing her question, and she looked sleepy, "I don't know, his family found him and took him back, leaving only a lot of presents. "
Looking at his expression, Yun Xi was more unaccustomed to Wen Ziran's departure, I'm afraid Yan Ling hadn't developed that kind of thought about Wen Ziran yet.
She asked curiously: "Then do you know his identity? Has his memory recovered after meeting someone he knew?"
Yan Ling snorted, with a bit of dissatisfaction in her expression, "I didn't expect that I would be so powerful. If I rescued him casually, I would become the son of the Wen family in the capital."
She paused, and said: "Wen Ziran is the son of Qingyang Hou in the capital. He returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors this time, but unfortunately he met a bad guy on his way. The guards tried their best to let him escape, and I happened to be the one who saved him."
"I know that I'm a daughter of a connoisseur, and it's nothing to be in the capital. But I can be regarded as Wen Ziran's savior anyway. Their family looks like they are afraid that I will rely on it. It's really disgusting."
Yun Xi was silent for a while, and understood where Yan Ling's anger came from.What the Wen family did... really made her not know what to say.
Yan Ling said, "I'm relieved to send this Buddha away now."
Yun Xi asked, "What's Wen Ziran's reaction?" If he looked down on Yan Ling after knowing his identity, then Yun Xi would just think that he had misjudged his character earlier.
Yan Ling was quiet for a while, and then said: "After he found out, he apologized to me in person, and even got angry with those people. It's just that his grandma seems to be seriously ill and bedridden because of his disappearance, so he can only rush back to the capital first. inside."
The capital city... Yun Xi doesn't know whether Yan Ling and Wen Ziran are destined to be together in the future.She only hoped that her good friend could live happily all her life.
Seeing that she fell silent, Yan Ling quickly said: "Okay, don't talk about these troublesome things. It's rare for you to come here, how can I bother you with such things. When you go to my house later, although the Wen family's attitude is quite nice It’s disgusting, but I sent you a lot of good gifts, I think there are a few pieces of jewelry that are quite suitable for you, you can go and pick them out later.”
Yun Xi wanted to make her happy, she didn't refuse, she agreed with a smile.
In private, Yan Ling also told her that her father's term of office will be up this year, and he is afraid that he will leave Chuzhou by then.
Yan Ling grew up in Chuzhou, and she was extremely reluctant about this.
Yun Xi could only comfort her, "Maybe your father can be re-elected." This kind of situation also exists.
Yan Ling curled her lips and said, "Let's talk about it."
This place is different from modern times. In modern times, even if the world is far apart, there is only one side. With mobile phones and computers, communication could not be more convenient.But in this era, once they left Chuzhou, the chances of the two of them meeting would be slim.
Yun Xi could only comfort her with a poem, "A confidant in the sea is like a neighbor in the world. Even if we don't see each other for several years, we will still be best friends by then."
When Yan Ling heard this, it was rare for this bright and generous girl to have red eyes, "Sure! Even if you make new friends, you can't be better than me." Even if she was jealous, she was frank.
Although she and Yun Xi had known each other for less than two years, she felt that it would be difficult for her to find a more congenial friend than her.
Yun Xi chuckled, "Definitely."
Yan Ling talked and laughed with her, her mood improved a lot, and she smiled and said: "By the way, do you know? A juggling troupe came to the city yesterday. It is said that it is very interesting and the business is very prosperous. When the time comes, we will Let's go and have a look together!"
Yun Xi nodded, "Okay, let's go together later."
Yun Xi held Mingyue with one hand and Yunyao with the other, and was accompanied by guards, which can be described as majestic.
She went straight to the jewelry store at the first stop. Yun Xi felt that Du Zhou's didn't have many decent jewelry, and the only complete set of good-looking jewelry was the jadeite she had given her earlier.The state capital is much richer than Fenghuang County, and there are more styles of jewelry.
After Yun Xi picked out the gold hairpin, she also made several sets of silver-headed noodles. The patterns were all drawn by herself. Seeing that her patterns were exquisite and elegant, Yan Ling couldn't help asking her to design a set for her as well.
Because it was made to order, it would take at least three days to get it, but Yun Xi originally had to stay in the state capital for a few more days, so three days was not a concern.
After paying the deposit, the group went to see the sideshow.The juggling troupe also specially rented a bad restaurant as a venue.
Tickets are quite expensive, one tael per person.However, none of these people were short of money. After asking, Yun Xi directly booked a box, anyway, there were a lot of them.A box is 20 taels of silver.
It's just that 20 taels of silver can only buy a relatively small box, which can just hold them.
After paying the money, they were led to the third floor by a guy who bowed down.Yun Xi and the others came at just the right time, and they could start a new one after a quarter of an hour.It is said that the program of this juggling class comes every hour, and they happen to be the second shift today.
Serve them tea and snacks neatly, the tea is just ordinary, and the snacks are also the kind of tens of pennies.Yun Xi tasted it and found it too greasy, so she only took one bite and put it down.
Yun Xi directly took out the pastries she just bought outside and put them on the table.
Several people chatted casually for a while, and the following program began.
Her gaze froze as soon as she looked towards the center of the first floor.
Standing in the very center is a woman with a human head and a snake body, her appearance is just ordinary, with a corporate smile on her face, she is bouncing the ball with her tail, one after another.The upper body is a human, but the lower body is a snake, seemingly harmless playing with a ball.
Occasionally, he accidentally dropped the ball and rolled it up with his own tail.
The onlookers exclaimed and laughed, as if they thought the scene was funny.
Yan Ling's face was full of doubts, "Why are there people with a human head and a snake body?"
Yun Xi's face completely sank.This kind of person who is contrary to nature... is obviously created deliberately.
She suddenly remembered that she had seen in her previous life that some children were abducted, their hands and feet were broken, and they were made to beg.Some are kept in jars at a young age.
As for the girl below, she was obviously a half-human, half-animal product that was forced to marry wild animals.I don't know what they did, but they actually succeeded in breaking through the breeding isolation.
Yan Ling sensed the killing intent emanating from her body, couldn't help shaking her body, turned her head, and looked at her puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, restraining the killing intent on her body.Even if he wants to have an attack, he has to wait until he gets out of this restaurant.
In addition to this girl with a snake-tailed body, there were also many deformed products behind her.There are dwarfs with short limbs but heads as big as adults, and there are freaks with hands and feet turned upside down. They do ridiculous behaviors and laugh at the big men who spend money in consumption.
Yun Yao obviously didn't like this kind of scene very much, she frowned and muttered, "These people are really pitiful."
Yun Xi didn't say a word, these people are pitiful, and the people who made them are even more hateful.I'm afraid that this theater troupe will be involved in a kidnapping gang.
She suppressed the anger in her heart and watched the performance.This restaurant is obviously very spacious, but she feels breathless.
After the performance was over and she came out, Yan Ling looked at the door of the restaurant, "It's pitiful for those people to have fun in front of others, and I don't know how much of the ticket money will fall on them today."
Mingyue was frightened when she saw the snake girl in front of her, and she basically turned her back and refused to look at it.
Yun Xi didn't speak, but took them back to her house first.
She shook her head, her lips pursed into a straight line in anger, "They're not born this way."
"what?"
Everyone else turned to look at her.
Yun Xi sneered and said: "The so-called juggling troupe are nothing but kidnappers. Do you know how those freaks grow up? Young children were captured by them and raised in jars. In the end, their limbs were all twisted, but there was no distortion. She also became a dwarf. The so-called snake girl is just a product of forcing people and giant snakes..."
Although her voice was barely calm, her eyes were like ice in December, so cold that it could freeze people.
Yanling and Yunyao had never heard of such unimaginable things before, their lips trembled with anger, "It's so cruel and inhuman!"
"Those kidnappers are not worthy of being called human beings at all."
"A thousand cuts to death is not too much."
The little girl Mingyue frowned and said, "Can we rescue them?"
Yun Xi touched her head and said, "It's ok."
The reason why she didn't talk about it in the restaurant was because she was afraid that Yanling and the others would get angry on the spot, and then they would startle the snake instead.
Yan Ling's eyes were filled with anger, "This troupe opened yesterday, so no one knows what's going on?"
Fortunately, Yun Xi didn't serve tea, otherwise Yan Ling would be so angry that she would crush the cup and hurt herself instead.
Yun Xi's eyes were cold, "Most people think they are born like this... But they never think that even if some are indeed born like this, it is impossible for them to be taken by this juggling troupe. Those who know the inside story are afraid of their Retaliation, how dare you report the crime. What's more, they can rent the restaurant and open it smoothly. I'm afraid there are some officials colluding with them behind it. For most people, it's not their children who were kidnapped and killed. Naturally, it has nothing to do with them Hang up high." The knife didn't cut himself, so he didn't know the pain.
After hearing this, Yan Ling became even angrier, "They are afraid of revenge, but I am not! At least my father and the prefect must not know about it, and they will not participate in such a conscienceless thing."
She stomped her feet, "I'll go back and tell my dad."
Yun Xi nodded, "It's fine if you go back."
If the magistrate really had nothing to do with this matter, and broke the case, it would be quite a political achievement.
When Yan Ling thought that those people were still suffering, she couldn't sit still. She was a chivalrous girl in essence.
Yun Xi looked at her back, and sent Yun Yao to talk with Ming Yue, who was obviously frightened by their words, to divert her attention.
He himself asked Lai San, "How many manpower do we have in Wanshiwu?"
Lai San said: "The Wanshiwu we opened here has twelve on the bright side, and there are twenty or so behind the scenes." Because Yunxi opened a branch in the state capital, and because of the state capital The business was really good, so Lai San sent more people over.
Yun Xi nodded, it's not good to mobilize people like this.Her eyes narrowed slightly, "You send most of them to guard the restaurant, and see if you can spot some people behind the scenes."
Lai San nodded, he also deeply hated those kidnappers.After his baby sister was sold by his father before, he suffered a lot and suffered from aphasia ever since.Although Xiao Si was sold by his father on his own initiative, he obviously channeled his anger on all the kidnappers, Ren Yazi.
What's more, he also saw the miserable appearance of those people, and anyone with a bit of conscience would not be able to see it.
While Lai San sent people to watch the juggling board, at least five or six people were secretly guarding Yun Xi's house.Although Yun Xi was said to be highly skilled, there was a possibility that he might be tricked if he didn't keep it all together, so Yun Xi didn't have any objections to this secret protection.
On the other hand, Yan Ling was really full of energy.When he got home, he immediately went to his father, Mr. Dai, to file a complaint.
Dai Hai's thinking was the same as Yun Xi's, knowing that this was a good opportunity to make contributions, he didn't even care about lunch, so he immediately went to the house of his boss, the magistrate.
Yun Xi knew that this juggling troupe was going to end, so she smiled slightly.
The reason why she asked Lai San's people to watch them was to prevent anyone from getting away.In her eyes, these people are full of crimes, how can they escape.
That night, she received news that the entire juggling team had been kicked out by the magistrate.Even the few officials behind were dug out, and the least thing waiting for them was exile.
For those kidnappers, the prefect of Chuzhou can at least directly sentence them to beheaded, but he has no right to make decisions about the officials involved. He can only temporarily take them into custody, and then hand them over to the emperor for disposal.
However, in one night, many officials in Chuzhou were dismissed, which can be described as turbulent.
After Yun Xi found out, she was very relieved, and even ate an extra bowl at night.
The next day, the two sisters, Yunyao and Yunyao, put on delicate and fairy-like Yuehua dresses, and prepared to go to Shen's house when the time came.
Yan Ling brought Mao Yiyun over early in the morning, and said to her: "I don't know if the Shen family is still in the mood to organize their young lady's wedding banquet today?"
Yun Xi looked at her in surprise, "Could it be that the Shen family was also involved in what happened yesterday?"
Mao Yiyun asked enthusiastically: "What happened last night? How did I hear that many officials were imprisoned?"
Yan Ling frowned, "Shen Ruhua's uncle, Hu Bin, is the general judge of Chuzhou. He heard that the juggling troupe entered our Chuzhou, and he had to give him [-]% of the interest. He is also the biggest official involved in our Chuzhou this time." .”
For the eldest lady of the Shen family, this is a disaster for no reason.Her own uncle was imprisoned for this kind of thing, and she didn't look good.
Especially early in the morning, the magistrate first spread the appalling inside story of this troupe, and the common people were filled with righteous indignation, cursing this inhumane behavior one after another.While praising the magistrate's benevolence, they scolded the Hu family for using this kind of flesh and blood money, and they are not afraid of cutting off their children and grandchildren.
Perhaps Hu Bin's imprisonment gave them some kind of hint, and some daring ones went directly to Hu's house to throw excrement secretly.
The Shen family didn't fare well either, Shen Hu was the daughter of the Hu family, and she was very close to her natal family.I don't know who said that this is how Shen Hu's generous dowry came from before. The common people immediately found a vent, and even the Shen family's house was thrown with dung.
Speaking of it, this is really nonsense.It has been 20 years since Mrs. Shen Hu got married, and at that time Hu Bin hadn't even been awarded a Jinshi.Her dowry has nothing to do with it.But where would the angry common people think of these joints.
Yun Yao looked at her new dress and asked, "Then shall we still go to Shen's house?"
Her tone was a little reluctant, obviously unwilling to go over.Recalling the performance she saw in the restaurant, she felt a deep dislike for the Hu family, and this emotion was also transferred to Shen Hu.
Yun Xi looked at Yan Ling and Yi Yun, "Are you two going?"
Yan Ling shook her head, "I won't go. My father told me not to go, saying that although the Shen family has not been caught, the Shen family may be involved."
Yi Yun said casually: "If Yan Ling doesn't go, then I won't go either." She paused and said, "I'm afraid that many people will find excuses to miss their appointments today, so it doesn't matter if there are more of us."
Yun Xi nodded, and simply wrote a letter, which probably meant something like this: After they arrived at the state capital city, they went out for a stroll, but her two younger sisters accidentally suffered from heatstroke, and she also I can only miss the appointment.
Well, she thought her wording was quite euphemistic.
After writing it, she checked it and found no mistakes, so Yun Xi asked Wang Dazhu to deliver the letter to the Shen family.
Then a group of them got together and continued to talk about the officials involved.Among them, the main source of information is Yan Ling's side, who made her father a co-intellect.However, what Yan Ling said was also something that could be found out by careful inquiries from outsiders.Dai Hai is also a measured person, it is impossible to tell his daughter all the important information, basically they are all selected.
Her tone was a bit regretful, "It's a pity that Dad's actions still made people panic. I heard that several people escaped after receiving the news in advance."
Yun Xi remembered that she let Lai San stare at them before, and a trace of sternness flashed in her eyes: Even if she escaped, she would not let these people go easily, at least let them taste the pain of those who were tortured.
She felt a little heavy, "Then what about those who were rescued? How to arrange them?"
Even if these people are victims, they will be bathed in people's strange eyes and pointed at in the future.Especially the snake girl, I'm afraid everyone doesn't think she is a human, but a monster.Moreover, many of them have only been trained how to please people since they were young, and they numbly obeyed those people's instructions. Bao Buqi lost the ability to survive in the crowd.
If there was no arrangement from the imperial court, Yun Xi would buy another small manor, place them in it, and teach them slowly.
Yan Ling seemed to have thought of this too, "My father said that he will try his best to help find their family members first."
Mao Yiyun blurted out: "But they are like this now, I'm afraid there will be many people in their family who don't want to recognize them?"
Yan Ling's tone was firm, "It's okay, when the time comes, I'll arrange them in the Zhuangzi I bought earlier, at worst, I'll raise them. Anyway, I get a lot of hot pot dividends every month, so I can afford it."
Her thoughts are the same as Yun Xi's.
Mao Yiyun said: "I'll pay part of the money too. My grandma loves me so much. My monthly money is dozens of taels."
Yun Xi looked at them with a smile, both Yan Ling and Yi Yun were good boys.
"And me!" Yun Yao followed suit.
Yun Xi smiled and said: "You guys forgot, I am the biggest rich man." She thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea in her mind, "I think there must be a lot of kind-hearted official ladies like you, why don't we send them away?" Invite them in too, let's all contribute to build Zhuangzi together, how about resettling this group of people?"
Bringing in all the ladies from the official family can be regarded as forming an alliance.Otherwise, they will indeed do good things by then, but if their reputation is too loud, they will be easily hated.It's better to do good deeds together and have a good reputation together.The parents of those girls should also be very willing for their girls to have a good reputation.
She paused, and said: "The abducted children must not be limited to people from this juggling class. If there are other people in the future, they can continue to be sent to this Zhuangzi."
Yan Ling couldn't help clapping her hands, "That's a good idea!"
Thinking of how many people could be helped after this matter was successful, her heart became hot.
Yun Xi said: "Let's discuss the specific plan again... Well, I'll make some ice cream to get rid of the heat."
She brought a lot of ice cubes on this trip and put them in the cellar.
A portion of it kept well enough to be served cold.
It doesn't snow often in Chuzhou in winter, and many wealthy households can't store ice cubes for summer, so ice can be regarded as an expensive item.
Yan Ling's eyes lit up, "I don't know where you got so many ice cubes, I'm really envious." But this involves a friend's business secrets, Yan Ling is just envious at most.
When she made the fruit ice, they all ate it.
Yun Xi stared at Mingyue, only letting her eat half a bowl, and then refused to let her eat more, for fear that she would accidentally catch a cold because she was small.Although Mingyue was full of displeasure, she was still obedient.
After Yanling ate the ice cubes, she happily went back to prepare for this matter.
Yun Xi originally planned to go back after attending Shen Ruhua's Jiji banquet, but now, not only did she not attend the Jiji banquet, but she had to stay and organize this matter with Yan Ling.Because of her disgust towards the Shen family, Yan Ling didn't intend to inform Shen Ruhua about the Daughter League.
Soon, Yan Ling posted a post and invited all the girls with names and surnames from the state capital.
On May 25th, all the people who received the post went to Dai's house.They are not fools, and they can't see that this is a good opportunity to build their reputation. For those who don't understand, their parents will explain the benefits to them.However, some of them really feel sorry for those children who have been made into such a miserable state.
Yunxi also developed a so-called membership model.The girls who come to participate today will all become honorary members of this Daughter League.There is one president and five vice presidents in the Daughter League.
Because this idea was proposed by Yun Xi, Yan Ling still wants Yun Xi to be the chairman of the president. If it was before, everyone would still be unconvinced.But now Yun Xi is not only the county lord, but no one present has a higher status than her.She also proposed the idea of the Daughter League, which benefited everyone present.
So I was really convinced by this candidate.
Instead, Yun Xi waved her hand and refused, "I'll forget it, my family isn't here, and it's inconvenient to deal with things at ordinary times, so let someone else be the president." She thought for a while, and said: "It's better to change the president every three years. Alright. If our members get married, they will automatically be promoted to veterans."
After all, the main body of the Daughter League is those girls who have not yet left the cabinet.She is not interested in being the chairman of the president, anyway, everyone knows where her credit lies.Although the president has great power, she also has many things to do, and her family is in Fenghuang County, so she can't come here often.With this time, she might as well worry about the affairs of her village.
Yun Xi thought a little deeper, maybe in the future girls from other states would learn from them and establish this daughter alliance.But no matter what everyone's original intentions are, the people who will benefit in the end are those who are suffering, so her goal will be achieved.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed, "How is it the same as being an official?"
Everyone's enthusiasm is higher.
Yun Xi coughed, "Of course you can be re-elected, but you can't be re-elected more than twice."
Finally, after discussion, it was decided that Yan Ling would be the chairman, and five vice-chairmen. Yun Xi and Yiyun were both selected. Although Yun Xi was not familiar with the other three, they were also vice-chairmen. Also familiar.
Everyone else is an honorary member.
As for the Shen family and the Hu family...as well as the girls from the families of the officials involved, they ignored them intentionally or unintentionally, and did not invite them.
Yanling also took out a roster and membership card overnight.
Everyone also donated money one after another, giving as much as they had.The family background is not particularly good, but they paid 20 taels, and Yun Xi paid 500 taels. She couldn't get past the president Yan Ling, and the other vice presidents also paid 500 taels. Even if they didn't have the money, their The family will also pay for them.Yun Xi also helped Yunyao and Mingyue pay out the money, each of them 200 taels.Fortunately, she habitually brought a lot of money when she came out this time, otherwise she would have to borrow money from Lai San.
All in all, the first fundraising of the Daughter League reached more than 6000 taels, which is enough to accommodate those people.As for how to use the money, this group of girls chatted non-stop every day, and they didn't feel bored at all.Even the Zhuangzi who was placed was selected by a group of people.This is the first time for every girl to participate in such a big event. Although the basic etiquette of the ladies can still be maintained on the surface, it can be seen from the slightly trembling hands and the voice that is a little higher than usual that they are still very excited. of.
The magistrate knew about their behavior and praised them severely in public.Look, even these boudoir girls under his rule know that they have to worry about the country. This is also his meritorious service, isn't it?And the court also saved the money to resettle them.He also planned to write this matter together in the notebook.
The officials below are also very happy, their children are honorary members of the League.The common people praised these ladies for being more beautiful.And invisibly, the girls who joined the Daughter's League have also gotten to know each other a lot because of the exchanges in the past few days, and the contacts of each family have expanded a little.
Dai Hai is very satisfied with this, you know, his eldest daughter Yan Ling is the president.Invisibly, his reputation among the common people has increased a lot.
Yun Xi has also benefited a lot, as the vice president... In the process of dealing with everyone, she basically got to know everyone, and there are many girls who have speculated on her.
Except for those people involved, the result of this treatment can be called a happy one.
On May 27, when she came back from Zhuangzi, after dinner, Lai San told her a piece of news: Zhuangzi, some of the rescued people disappeared.
I really saw it when I was a child. The person was packed in a small jar with her head exposed. It was a woman whose face was as big as an adult. get up creepy
