The rich and noble peasant daughter
Chapter 263 Asking for medicine, expressing gratitude
Chapter 263 Asking for medicine, expressing gratitude
According to Yun Xi's original thinking, she thought that after Miss Dong Qinglian was auctioned off, she would be sent to Yun Shen. Isn't this a normal development?
But after thinking about it, he was beside Yun Shen, and no one with white eyes could do such a thing.If that's the case, does that count as her thwarting a scheme?
Lu Yiran yawned and said, "It's not as interesting as I imagined."
She thought something interesting was going to happen, but it turned out to be so peaceful, so boring.Although that Dong Qinglian did live up to the rumored beauty, but beauty is beautiful, but she lost her soul.Naturally, Lu Yiran didn't have much interest in her.
Yun Shen stood up, "Go back."
Yun Xi turned to look at Lu Yiran, "How about you, Yiran? Do you want to go together?"
Lu Yiran tilted his head and said, "It's rare to come here, I'll leave later."
Yun Xi nodded to express her understanding, and left with Yun Shen, leaving this Lanxiang Pavilion.
On the next day, Lu Yiran came to the door early in the morning, and told Yun Xi vividly about the excitement that followed last night.
"I knew you should leave later, but I missed such a lively event."
Yun Xi felt that Lu Yiran's spirit was really good, and he was still in good spirits without resting all night.
"That Zhang Ping was grateful for Dong Qinglian's noble sentiments, but he didn't touch Dong Qinglian, but opposed her reciting poems. Many people said he was stupid. He spent 15 taels of silver, but he didn't even touch her. He just listened to her." She played the piano and talked, and it was a big loss. But some people say that Zhang Ping is a gentleman."
The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, she could be promoted to a gentleman without touching Dong Qinglian, this gentleman is really easy to be.
"It was only in the middle of the night when Zhang Ping's wife, Mrs. Zhang, heard that her husband spent a lot of money on the first night of a grave, so angry that she rushed into the Lanxiang Pavilion and scratched Dong Qinglian's flowery and jade-like face." Speaking of this, Lu Yiran Her tone of voice was somewhat regretful, she always liked to appreciate good food, and Dong Qinglian's face could be regarded as haggard among them.
Yun Xi was completely shocked by this development.Such a beautiful woman, to be disfigured like this?
"After Dong Qinglian was disfigured, Mrs. Zhang knew about Dong Qinglian's dissuasion from her husband to treat her well. In addition, the two of them had never had a real relationship. That Mrs. Zhang regretted it very much and redeemed Dong Qinglian."
Sitting on the couch, Yunyao also listened with gusto, "The money to redeem her body must be at least 10 taels." You must know that Dong Qinglian sold for a high price of 15 taels on the first night, setting a new record for the flower fairs in Beijing in the past ten years. record of.
Yunyao thought she had a little money, but the first time she wanted her to spend so much money to buy someone, her heart ached just thinking about it.
Lu Yiran said lightly: "Dong Qinglian's face was disfigured, so the value is naturally greatly reduced. That Mrs. Zhang only spent 1 taels of silver to redeem her."
"Then what about the 15 taels of silver that were auctioned off earlier?" Yun Xi continued to ask.
Lu Yiran took a sip of the clear tea soup, "The madam of Lanxiangge thought she was a trustworthy person, and gave her the 15 taels of silver, but also signed a letter with Dong Qinglian in public, stating that the money must be used for the snow disaster. Come on. This old bustard is considered smart, since she lost her cash cow, she simply used this opportunity to make a good name for her Lanxiang Pavilion."
She looked up and saw Yun Xi's strange expression, she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Yun Xi lowered her eyes, her expression was calm, her fingers lightly rubbed the teacup, feeling the warmth from her fingertips, "I just feel a little disobedient. I can't be as magnanimous as that Mrs. Zhang."
Yun Yao frowned and said, "I think Mrs. Zhang is acting a little too much. That Zhang Ping spent 15 taels to buy Dong Qinglian for one night. As a wife, it is normal for her to be angry. But in this matter, the biggest fault is Zhang Ping, not Dong Qinglian. She Even if she is angry, she should settle the score with her husband, how can she vent it on another victim? But judging from her ransom for Dong Qinglian, her nature is not bad."
Yun Xi tapped her forehead and said, "You guys, it's too simple to think. To be honest, if Yun Shen really dares to spend 15 taels to buy someone's first night, no matter whether the two of them have a real relationship or not. I can't even forgive him, let alone help another person redeem himself, that's why I say she is generous."
The word Yun Xi Dadu has a deep meaning.
Lu Yiran immediately understood the deep meaning of her words, "That's true, it's indeed a bit weird. Judging from the fact that Mrs. Zhang disfigures her face when she doesn't agree with her, the other party's temper is not ordinary, and she shouldn't immediately sympathize with the enemy and turn hostility into friendship."
No wife, with or without intercourse, can accept such a thing.
Yun Xi chuckled, "Let's see the follow-up development, anyway, it has nothing to do with them."
She didn't bother to continue talking about this topic, she looked at Lu Yiran, "You guys will draw lots tomorrow, right?"
Lu Yiran nodded, "Anyway, no matter who the opponent is, we will be the champions." There was a sense of domineering in his words, full of confidence in his own strength.
Yun Xi smiled, "Come on for the game."
After Lu Yiran finished the gossip, she also felt drowsy, "I'm going to take a rest." She didn't bother to go back to her princess mansion, and directly rested at Yun Xi's side.Anyway, the relationship between the two is so good, there is no need for politeness at all.
"By the way, do you still have down quilts over there? I want to buy two. My down quilt was scratched by a cat I raised recently." Because of the snowstorm, both the down quilt and down jacket were sold out. Very good, basically they are the kind that are sold out as soon as they are put out, and Lu Yiran can't buy them even if he has money.Fortunately, she knew that the store owned a part of Yun Xi's shares, so she should have some extra, so she just went through the back door.
Yun Xi pondered for a moment, she still had a dozen down quilts in her warehouse.She bent her eyes, "After you go back, I'll just have someone send it to you."
Lu Yiran nodded, yawned and went to sleep.
After listening to the gossip, Yun Xi also started to get down to business.
Li Qiu found Yang Xin, the talent that Yun Xi requested yesterday, and it didn't take much effort to convince Yang Xin.Yun Xi's character is over there, and the good deeds she has done over the years have caused many people in the capital to think that she is the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva.So Yang Xin didn't think that Yun Xi would force him to write articles that violated his conscience, as the saying goes, leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade.
It's just that Yang Xin's only request is that he can buy twenty catties of charcoal from Yun Xi.Yang Xin's mother was very afraid of the cold after that serious illness. Yang Xin lined up three times in succession a few days ago and bought more than ten catties of charcoal. However, the weather has become colder recently, and the consumption of charcoal fires has increased greatly. Yang Xin He is a dutiful son, but his mother couldn't survive, so he thought about preparing more black charcoal to deal with it.
Yun Xi felt that Yang Xin was indeed a rare filial son, plus the red carbon in the storehouse was deducted from the red carbon she used for favors and for her own use, and there was still eight thousand catties left, so she ordered Li Qiu to send twenty catties of red Luo Tan gave Yang Xin.There is no smell and smoke when Hongluo carbon burns, which is more suitable for the elderly.
On the market, a catty of red Luo carbon costs about five taels of silver, and because it is a tribute, it cannot be bought even if you have money.Lai San was lucky enough to buy such a large batch.
When Yun Xi sent twenty catties over, Yang Xin really signed the document on the spot.The treatment Yun Xi gave him was also very generous. The polishing fee for each article was two taels of silver. If the writing was good, there would be an extra bonus. The monthly salary was two taels of silver.Even if Yang Xin didn't write an article for a month, he still had two taels of silver to support his family, and let him see what it means to be rich and powerful.
Yun Xi felt that the money was well spent, Yang Xin was grateful for her kindness, and helped find five quite capable students.
Yun Xi asked these five people to write an article based on the Cuju competition of the top [-] a few days ago. After looking at it, I found that the level of these five people may not be as good as Yang Xin, but they are much more suitable than the original team of Kapok. The most important thing is What I want is quick thinking, not the kind of dead-brained person.
After Li Qiu investigated the character of these five people, Yun Xi signed a contract with them.Their treatment may not be as good as that of Yang Xin, but it is quite good.
Yun Xi also made an appointment with them to give them a class today and teach them some tips and key points of news writing in her previous life.The class time is located in a small village outside the city, which is quite close to the printing factory.Yun Xi had already planned to use the small village as the office of the two newspapers.
Yun Xi went to Zhuangzi by carriage only after lunch, Yun Yao and Duo Duo were also with her, so they went to attend a lecture.
The authors of Kapok were also in the class with Yang Xin and others. When they saw Yun Xi appearing on the stage, they were stunned for a while, and it took a while to react.To Yun Xi's satisfaction, these surprises were all surprises, but she did not look down on her female status.
The writer of Kapok and the news writer with the ball at his feet are on the two sides respectively. Among the few people that Kapok asks for manuscripts all the year round, there are also two women. Fang Qiu's demeanor.
Yun Xi glanced at everyone and started the so-called news training.
"For news, what do you think is the most important thing?"
A young man in a blue cloth shirt hesitated for a moment and asked, "Really?"
Yun Xi glanced at him admiringly, "Naturally, he is upright and upright, seeking new information." Then she directly wrote these eight characters on the black wooden board, flamboyant and imposing.
Even gossip news should have its own bottom line, be impartial, uphold fairness, and uphold morality.
A kapok news writer was more familiar with Yun Xi, and he was a little more courageous, so he couldn't help asking: "Our previous articles also followed this point, but... the readers didn't really buy it." After only one issue was released, the Losing to the Beijing Times, which He Jian secretly built, is simply a shame and a shame.
Yun Xi glanced at him and said, "This is the focus of what I'm going to say next. There are still many ways to learn about writing, topic selection, and writing."
Yun Xi said everything, and continued to write key points on the blackboard, and the others also took out pens and paper wisely and began to take notes.No matter what they think in their hearts, they still look very serious on the surface.
Yun Xi also directly compared the articles written by the Kapok news writers. The comparison object was Yang Xin's articles, and said bluntly that the news writers of Kapok News wrote just a running account, dry, and completely unable to attract readers. attention.
There are many ways to choose what subject matter to choose, from what angle to approach it, and what method to use to write it.Some people who were still a little careless in their hearts unconsciously became serious after hearing this.
They are not fools, and their thinking is still active, so they quickly accepted these views put forward by Yun Xi, and faintly felt that there was a lot to be done.
After Yun Xi talked for about half an hour, she felt a little thirsty. She picked up the scented tea made by Yindan, took a sip, and asked, "If I were to write about the top [-] competition a few days ago, what would you like to write about?" subject?"
These people had obviously thought about these issues before coming here, and each of them expressed their opinions in turn. Some said that the focus should be on He Jian's flopping, and some said that they wanted to write about Unique Team.Unique is Deng Changming's team.Their team really had a lot of limelight this time. From the beginning to the end, they never let the opponent touch the ball, and the opponent couldn't score a single point.After the match, the opponent was so angry that his face turned black, but his skills were not as good as others, so he had nothing to say.
The unique team has also become the biggest dark horse in this competition. Everyone does not know where Deng Changming found so many Cuju players.Yun Xi was not surprised by this at all. Although Deng Changming was only the shopkeeper of Baiweizhai on the surface, he did not know how many dangerous goods he smuggled for Chu Xiyuan in private, so he naturally held a strong army in his hands.Selecting some of them to play Cuju is simply overkill.
Yun Xi was quite satisfied when she heard the people talking about it, she had improved a lot since the beginning.
After all of them had finished expressing their opinions, Yun Xi made a summary, and selected a few interesting topics from it, and asked them to go back and write about it.
Then she also selected a few topics for other people to try to write.Like selecting the top ten goals of the game, the top ten saves, and a few own goals.
These ingenious topic selections undoubtedly caught everyone's eyes, and each of them was sharpening their knives and preparing to write attractive and beautiful articles.Yun Xi had already given them the topic, if they still couldn't write it well, it would be unreasonable.
After a class was completed, an hour passed like this.
Yun Xi was not a stingy person in the first place, so she had people prepare pens, ink, papers and inkstones long ago, so that these people would not have to spend an extra sum of money.
She thought about sending two more cooks over to take care of the food for these people.
Yun Xi suddenly remembered a very important question. All along, she did not run a newspaper to make money. Kapok also wanted to improve the situation of women and plant seeds in everyone's hearts.The newspaper has always been not losing money.She is so stupid that she forgot a very important way to get money, that is to advertise!
When newspaper sales increase, advertising fees will naturally be a source of wealth.Although He Jian's newspaper came to an end without a problem, other people in the capital were still not optimistic about Yun Xi's new newspaper. Of course, Yun Xi would not be so stupid as to find an advertiser at this time.When the sales volume is high, it will be others begging her to buy it, not her begging others to buy it.
However, the advertising columns in the previous issues were unnecessary. Yun Xi also wanted the businessmen in the capital to see the power of the advertising columns in the newspaper, so she decided to take advantage of her own family first.The first issue of the ad is for big sister Yunxia's fast food restaurant.
After six months of operation, Yunxia's fast food restaurant can be called a little famous, but Yunxi feels that it is still not enough.
The good wind sent her to the blue sky by force.
Back in the mansion, Yun Yao greeted her directly, and said disapprovingly: "Sister, someone delivered a post this afternoon."
For Yun Xi, isn't it normal for her not to receive a post some day?
After receiving Yun Xi's questioning look, Yun Xia directly handed the post to Yun Xi.
The peony aroma from the post made Yun Xi frowned involuntarily, the smell was too strong.
Unfolding the post, it turned out that the person who sent the post was Zhang Du Shi, who they had only gossiped about in the morning, Zhang Ping's wife, the woman who ruined Dong Qinglian's appearance in a fit of anger and then redeemed her.
Mrs. Zhang Du mainly came here for the Qianhe ointment in Yunxi shop.Qianhe Ointment itself is the treasure of the town store, and the monthly share has been reserved before it is displayed.Zhang Du himself is not a member of Guose Tianxiang, so naturally he can't buy Qianhe Ointment.Even if you line up to buy now, you will have to queue at least two months later.
Zhang Dushi begged her very sincerely in the post, saying that she realized that Dong Qinglian was a very kind and beautiful woman, so she regretted her previous reckless behavior even more, and said that no matter how much she paid, she would be willing to buy a bottle of Qianhe Ointment.
This is the first time Yun Xi has seen such a strange thing, asking for medicine for her rival in love, this kind of thing is really intoxicating.
Yun Yao waited for her to finish reading, and said: "Sister, Mrs. Du really sent a lot of gifts, I think the gift is worth at least 5000 taels of silver."
Yun Xi's eyebrows twitched, "Did you accept it?"
Yun Yao shook her head, "Without my sister's permission, I wouldn't collect it indiscriminately. I just asked her to take it back."
Yun Xi nodded with satisfaction. Although Yun Yao has a quick temper, she still knows what to do and what not to do.
The cold wind blew, mixed with snowflakes, and drifted towards her neck. Yun Xi woke up from the cold in an instant, and hurried into the house.
The charcoal fire inside the house was burning vigorously, and the heat rushed towards us. From the ice and snow outside, it suddenly evolved into warmth like spring. Yun Xi felt a little hot, so she took off her furry cloak, and Yin Dan hung up the cloak.
Seeing Yun Xi, Zhu Zhu, who was sitting on the ground playing with building blocks, crawled over on both hands and feet. The speed of crawling was fast, her limbs were strong, and she was about to jump into Yun Xi's arms.
Yun Xi's hands were still cold, and the cold air on her clothes hadn't been warmed by the stove, how could she dare to hug her precious daughter, "Zhuzhu, I will hug you after my next mother." He signaled Yunyao and Douduo to hug Zhuzhu first.
Zhuzhu couldn't understand such complicated words, she only knew that her mother would not hug her, so she flattened her mouth in aggrieved manner, and called her in a vague way.
When Yun Xi heard her precious daughter's voice, her heart almost melted into a ball, and she directly used her internal force to warm her hands.Shuang Jiang took a warm thin coat and put it on for her.After Yun Xi put it on, she hugged Zhu Zhu who had been babbling for a long time in her arms, teasing her with a rattle in her hand.
Yun Yao asked: "Sister, are you going to sell Qianhe Ointment to Du Zhang?"
Yun Xi frowned slightly when she heard this. To be honest, Du Zhang's behavior really caused her a big problem.If she gave it, I don't know how many people will follow her in the future.If she doesn't give it... Everyone in the capital knows that Dong Qinglian wants to take 15 taels of silver to help the common people survive the snow disaster, but Yun Xi refuses to even give her a bottle of Qianhe ointment, which is too stingy.
Thinking of this, Yun Xi was in a particularly bad mood, feeling like being kidnapped by morality.
"If my sister doesn't like them, don't give them."
Yun Xi frowned and sneered, "I don't know who gave them the idea."
This recruit is indeed good.
angry?There must be, Yun Xi is not a saint, he was kidnapped by human morality, but he can accept it happily.
This Thousand Crane Ointment has to be given, and it has to be given with great fanfare, and everyone has to know that this thing is not so easy to get.
In a flash, Yun Xi had already come up with an idea.
At this time, Lu Yiran fell asleep and woke up. She was wearing a bright red pomegranate dress inside, and a moon-white down jacket outside, which felt nondescript.
Yun Xi raised her head and showed a bright smile to Lu Yiran, "Yiran, you are here. I just need your help with something."
Looking at her smile, Lu Yiran felt as if he was hallucinating, otherwise how could he see a tail flicking behind Yun Xi.
"What do you want to do?" She couldn't help taking a step back.
Yun Xi smiled slyly, "It's not a big deal, it's just a small favor, come on, let's make a confession."
……
Ever since Dong Qinglian was redeemed by Zhang Du, she has lived in a single-entry house.Mrs. Zhang Du even sent two maids to serve her. When people outside talked about this incident, they all praised Du Mrs. Zhang to correct her mistakes.
Sitting in the room, Dong Qinglian looked at herself in the mirror. There were three long nail marks on her jade-white face, one of which was from the corner of the eye to the chin, which was shocking.
Sitting in front of her, Mrs. Zhang Du said: "I have gone to the Princess Mansion with great fanfare, but I don't know if Mrs. Yun is willing to take out Qianhe ointment."
If anyone was present, they would be greatly surprised when they heard Zhang Du's voice.In front of Dong Qinglian, Zhang Du's tone was not at all like the attitude of the main room facing the outside room, but was faintly cautious.
Dong Qinglian looked at herself in the mirror, and the mirror in front of her was actually a rare glass mirror, which was clearer than the usual bronze mirror, with all the fine hairs on it.Dong Qinglian looked at herself in the mirror and frowned slightly, "Am I beautiful?"
Zhang Du said: "Miss Dong is naturally beautiful, at least I have never seen a more beautiful woman than you."
"Compared to Du Yunxi?" Dong Qinglian said, her tone raised slightly.
"Naturally, Miss Dong is more beautiful."
After hearing this, Dong Qinglian smiled happily, "I think so too." Even though she had these wounds on her face, she was still so beautiful and breathtakingly beautiful.Dong Qinglian didn't think that anyone would not be tempted by such beauty.
No, there are people who are not tempted.
She lowered her eyelids, subconsciously placed her hands on her lower abdomen, and felt a dull pain there.The boy in his memory had sharp eyebrows and looked at her with disdain and disgust.
The fingernails directly dug into the palm, Dong Qinglian came back to her senses, her eyes were picturesque, "Even if Du Yunxi doesn't want to send Qianhe Ointment, I can still get a bottle."
As soon as the words were finished, she heard a crisp voice from the door, "Does Miss Dong live here?"
Dong Qinglian was startled, picked up a veil and covered half of her face, "Let's go out and have a look." Zhang Dushi followed her, respecting her.
After the door was opened, Dong Qinglian saw a fresh and pretty girl in blue clothes smiling, her voice was obviously not loud, but it could be heard clearly by people with a radius of [-] feet, "This must be Miss Dong Bar?"
Dong Qinglian realized the identity of the other party, and gave a half salute. Her slender figure gave people a kind of infinitely beautiful reverie, and her voice was as beautiful as an oriole, with traces of coquettishness, "Next is Dong Qinglian."
The person who came was Li Qiu. Li Qiu's eyes fell on Dong Qinglian's exposed half of her face. Even though the scars on the exposed face were clearly visible, she could still imagine the peerless elegance under the veil. Her mouth evoked a proper ritual smile .
"This is Qianhe ointment sent to you by my wife." Li Qiu pronounced it with internal strength on purpose to let everyone around know about it.
A layer of water mist appeared on Dong Qinglian's brows, adding a hazy beauty, as if the stars were crushed in it, "Thank you very much, Mrs. Yun."
Li Qiu said: "This Thousand Crane Ointment was originally intended as an annual gift for Princess Yunni. My wife specially made an apology to Princess Yunni, and evened out her share of Qianhe Ointment. Princess Yunni is kind-hearted. , which is half of her credit."
Li Qiu deliberately let everyone know that Dong Qinglian cut off Lu Yiran's tricks in public. If anyone wants to learn this trick in the future, they have to weigh it.
A trace of panic flashed across Zhang Du's face, obviously he was afraid that his actions would offend Lu Yiran, after all Lu Yiran is a well-known playboy princess in the capital.
She nana said: "I didn't know this was prepared for Her Royal Highness..."
Li Qiu said indifferently: "The materials needed for Qianhe ointment are precious, so there are not many left for personal use every month. The bottle delivered today, Princess Yun Ni asked my lady for it half a year ago."
Li Qiu intentionally made Qianhe Gao very difficult, Dong Qinglian in front of her couldn't help but froze, and pushed Qian He Gao back.
"Since it is what the princess likes, how can I dare to take away people's love with a lowly status like me."
Li Qiu glanced at her and said calmly, "You should accept it. We all admire Miss Dong for donating 15 taels of silver for the common people."
Only then did Dong Qinglian accept the Qianhe ointment.
Li Qiu's eyes fell on the crowd of onlookers, and he cursed in his heart: Even the heavy snow all over the sky can't drown out the enthusiasm of these people to gossip.
The corner of her mouth curled into a gentle and harmless smile, which was [-]% similar to Yun Xi's, "I hope Miss Dong can recover her peerless beauty soon."
Then turned and left.She believed that the fact that she delivered medicine to her girl today would soon spread throughout the capital.
Zhang Dushi stopped her by calling out, "Girl..."
Li Qiu turned around, "Is there something wrong?"
Mrs. Zhang Du hurriedly said: "The woman has always been guilty of ruining Miss Dong's face. Now that she has the opportunity to make up for it, she is really grateful. A small gift is not a respect."
With her eyes, she signaled the servant girl to bring the gift over.
Li Qiu seemed to have expected this, she did not refuse, but raised her chin and said, "I understand. Send these things to the pawn shop."
The two guards beside her immediately lifted the box and were about to go to the pawnshop.
Zhang Du's face froze, she originally thought that Du Yunxi's maid would refuse, but she didn't expect that she would accept it directly and send it to the pawn shop.
Li Qiu smiled and said: "The pawned money just happened to be used to give out porridge these two days. This can be regarded as your kindness, Mrs. Zhang."
As soon as Li Qiu said this, the crowd onlookers shouted.Du Yunxi's character is over there. Since she said that she will spend money to do good things, she must do what she says.
Li Qiu pawned those things directly, and exchanged them for nearly 5000 taels of silver.Zhang Du's heart was pierced like a knife, but he still had to pretend to be happy, that was aggrieved.
After Li Qiu took the money, he turned around and went back, and told Yun Xi what happened here.
Yun Xi nodded, expressing her understanding.
Donating porridge doesn't need Yun Xi to do it in person, it can be handed over to the subordinates directly.Yunxi ordered them to do this from time to time, and they were very familiar with it.
……
On the other hand, Lu Yiran's luck in the lottery was not very good. The opponent was the Tianyi team—one was Ji Zhizhi's team, and this team was also the favorite to win the championship.Speaking of which, among the participating women's army, only Lu Yiran's team successfully reached the top [-]. They have also eliminated many so-called popular teams along the way, which is quite hard.But Yun Xi looked like Lu Yiran was enjoying it.
After drawing lots to determine the opponent, Lu Yiran enthusiastically took everyone to train.It just so happened that Duo Duo's work at hand has also come to an end these few days, so she also went to participate in training.
Yun Xi stayed at home, and the end of the new year was approaching. As the head wife of Yun Mansion, she had a lot of things to do.Because of the upcoming snowstorm, Yun Xi ordered that this year's annual gifts for those tenants be replaced with more practical ones.
For example, according to the population, each person is divided into [-] catties of charcoal, [-] catties of rice, [-] catties of cotton and [-] catty of meat.Although there is less meat than last year, there is more charcoal and cotton, which are the most scarce areas now.Yunxi may not be able to control other places, at least in her territory, she would not like to see someone freeze to death.
Those tenants were very grateful when they received the annual gift.Yun Xi also asked people to patrol their houses, and if the houses were not strong enough, they would help build them.
Yun Xi didn't forget about those employees in the store, and ordered the year-end bonus to be distributed to let everyone have a good year.
The authors on the other side also sent over the articles they wrote in the past two days.Yun Xi checked it out, selected the best ones, did a good job of typesetting, sent them to the printing workshop for printing, and tried to sell them before the tenth day of the lunar new year.
For two whole days, she was so busy that she didn't even have time to play with her daughter.Fortunately, Zhuzhu is very well-behaved, as long as she can see her, she won't make any noise.Yun Xi only needs to put her not far from her, and then throw her a bunch of toys, and then she can settle the score.
The New Year ceremony was similar to last year, with some close relatives, Yun Xi added red carbon into it.For example, although Yan Ling is also the wife of the eldest son, the Wen family has a large population, and the Hong Luo Tan and Yin Frost Tan are divided into one share, and each person does not get much.These two things were relatively difficult to buy in the market, so Yun Xi simply sent a hundred catties to her friend, which was regarded as a solution to Yan Ling's urgent need.
After she read the account books of several shops, Shuang Jiang brought over the warm jujube tea.Yun Xi took a sip and felt warm all over her body.
When she was about to rest, the concierge came to report that Dong Qinglian had come.
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, but asked someone to invite Dong Qinglian over.
Different from what Li Qiu saw at that time, today Dong Qinglian has never put on a veil, and her beautiful face is completely displayed in front of people.I don't know if the effect of Qianhe ointment is too good. There are no previous scars on her face, and the skin breaks instantly, with natural beauty. Every frown and smile are full of amorous feelings.
Dong Qinglian came slowly with Guqin in her hand, like a fairy walking down from a painting.She came to Yun Xi, bowed her head and bowed her knees, "It is thanks to your kindness that Qinglian can restore her appearance, madam. Qinglian has nothing to repay her for her great kindness. She can only play a piece of guqin to express her gratitude."
Yun Xi also heard that Dong Qinglian's piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings are all excellent, but she raised some expectations.She had also heard the musicians in the palace play before, so she didn't know whether Dong Qinglian was better or less coquettish than them.
Zhuzhu blinked her big black eyes, she seemed to be very interested in Guqin and wanted to climb over it.
Yun Xi picked up Zhu Zhu, and Zhu Zhu returned to her favorite embrace, she immediately forgot about it, and kept huddling in Yun Xi's embrace.
While Yun Xi skillfully comforted her daughter, she watched Dong Qinglian put her slender hands on the guqin, which seemed to be expensive at first glance, and gently plucked the strings.The wonderful Guqin sound flowed through her fingertips, like gurgling water, clear and pleasant to the ear, as clear as splashing jade, trembling like a dragon's chant.
As soon as the experts make a move, they will know if there is any.
Yun Xi has also learned the guqin, but there are so many things to do today, so she didn't practice the piano much, but there is still no problem in tasting.
Dong Qinglian's guqin is surprisingly good, unlike her own impression, the sound of the piano has a kind of ethereal taste.Yun Xi didn't know which piece she was playing, the only thing she could be sure of was that she had never heard such a tune.She felt that her soul seemed to be attracted by the sound of the piano, and she fell into a trance state. Apart from the sound of the piano, there was no other superfluous sound in her ears.
Suddenly there was a crying sound, Yun Xi came back to her senses, and found that Zhuzhu in her arms suddenly started crying, "Mother..."
She made a vague sound, and her pink and jade-carved face looked very aggrieved.
No matter how beautiful the sound of the piano is, it can't compare to the cry of my own daughter.
Yun Xi was a little puzzled, Zhu Zhu had only eaten half an hour ago, logically speaking, she shouldn't be hungry.Her ass was very dry and obviously not a peeing problem.
Yun Xi patted her daughter's back and comforted her in a low voice.Zhuzhu was sobbing, her black grape-like eyes were soaked with tears, looking so clear and clean.
Dong Qinglian hesitated for a moment, but continued to play the song to the end.It's just that maybe it was disturbed by Zhuzhu's crying, her piano sound was less dusty than before, and had a little more fireworks.Even if the realm is broken, Yun Xi still has to admit that her skills are very superb, and she can be called a master.
After playing a song, Yun Xi praised: "The so-called lingering sound lasts for three days, it's nothing more than that."
Dong Qinglian pursed her lips and smiled, "I dare not be praised by Madam."
Dong Qinglian seemed to simply want to use this piece of music to thank Yun Xi for Qianhe Gao, and bid farewell to Yun Xi after playing it.Yun Xi didn't intend to keep her, but just asked someone to send her out.
Shuang Jiang watched her slender figure gradually go away, and frowned slightly, "She didn't stay."
Yun Xi tugged at the corners of her mouth, and found that Zhuzhu had stopped crying, her small hand was holding the jade bracelet on Yun Xi's wrist, as if she wanted to put it in her mouth.
Yun Xi immediately put Dong Qinglian behind her, and nodded Zhuzhu's head, regardless of whether she understood or not, "Ah, you girl, why do you like to put everything in your mouth?"
She also knew in her heart that this was the nature of children.
……
Dong Qinglian left the princess mansion and got into the carriage.After the carriage started slowly, she felt a bloody smell coming up, and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
A bright red flower bloomed on the pure white handkerchief, which looked so shocking.There was also blood remaining at the corner of Dong Qinglian's mouth, which added a ray of seductiveness to her.
She took a deep breath, holding back the faint pain coming from her internal organs, and there was a bit more hatred in her eyes.
... I just finished writing it now... Hey, I will try to update it in the morning tomorrow.Make a fist, at least change from evening to afternoon
(End of this chapter)
According to Yun Xi's original thinking, she thought that after Miss Dong Qinglian was auctioned off, she would be sent to Yun Shen. Isn't this a normal development?
But after thinking about it, he was beside Yun Shen, and no one with white eyes could do such a thing.If that's the case, does that count as her thwarting a scheme?
Lu Yiran yawned and said, "It's not as interesting as I imagined."
She thought something interesting was going to happen, but it turned out to be so peaceful, so boring.Although that Dong Qinglian did live up to the rumored beauty, but beauty is beautiful, but she lost her soul.Naturally, Lu Yiran didn't have much interest in her.
Yun Shen stood up, "Go back."
Yun Xi turned to look at Lu Yiran, "How about you, Yiran? Do you want to go together?"
Lu Yiran tilted his head and said, "It's rare to come here, I'll leave later."
Yun Xi nodded to express her understanding, and left with Yun Shen, leaving this Lanxiang Pavilion.
On the next day, Lu Yiran came to the door early in the morning, and told Yun Xi vividly about the excitement that followed last night.
"I knew you should leave later, but I missed such a lively event."
Yun Xi felt that Lu Yiran's spirit was really good, and he was still in good spirits without resting all night.
"That Zhang Ping was grateful for Dong Qinglian's noble sentiments, but he didn't touch Dong Qinglian, but opposed her reciting poems. Many people said he was stupid. He spent 15 taels of silver, but he didn't even touch her. He just listened to her." She played the piano and talked, and it was a big loss. But some people say that Zhang Ping is a gentleman."
The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, she could be promoted to a gentleman without touching Dong Qinglian, this gentleman is really easy to be.
"It was only in the middle of the night when Zhang Ping's wife, Mrs. Zhang, heard that her husband spent a lot of money on the first night of a grave, so angry that she rushed into the Lanxiang Pavilion and scratched Dong Qinglian's flowery and jade-like face." Speaking of this, Lu Yiran Her tone of voice was somewhat regretful, she always liked to appreciate good food, and Dong Qinglian's face could be regarded as haggard among them.
Yun Xi was completely shocked by this development.Such a beautiful woman, to be disfigured like this?
"After Dong Qinglian was disfigured, Mrs. Zhang knew about Dong Qinglian's dissuasion from her husband to treat her well. In addition, the two of them had never had a real relationship. That Mrs. Zhang regretted it very much and redeemed Dong Qinglian."
Sitting on the couch, Yunyao also listened with gusto, "The money to redeem her body must be at least 10 taels." You must know that Dong Qinglian sold for a high price of 15 taels on the first night, setting a new record for the flower fairs in Beijing in the past ten years. record of.
Yunyao thought she had a little money, but the first time she wanted her to spend so much money to buy someone, her heart ached just thinking about it.
Lu Yiran said lightly: "Dong Qinglian's face was disfigured, so the value is naturally greatly reduced. That Mrs. Zhang only spent 1 taels of silver to redeem her."
"Then what about the 15 taels of silver that were auctioned off earlier?" Yun Xi continued to ask.
Lu Yiran took a sip of the clear tea soup, "The madam of Lanxiangge thought she was a trustworthy person, and gave her the 15 taels of silver, but also signed a letter with Dong Qinglian in public, stating that the money must be used for the snow disaster. Come on. This old bustard is considered smart, since she lost her cash cow, she simply used this opportunity to make a good name for her Lanxiang Pavilion."
She looked up and saw Yun Xi's strange expression, she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Yun Xi lowered her eyes, her expression was calm, her fingers lightly rubbed the teacup, feeling the warmth from her fingertips, "I just feel a little disobedient. I can't be as magnanimous as that Mrs. Zhang."
Yun Yao frowned and said, "I think Mrs. Zhang is acting a little too much. That Zhang Ping spent 15 taels to buy Dong Qinglian for one night. As a wife, it is normal for her to be angry. But in this matter, the biggest fault is Zhang Ping, not Dong Qinglian. She Even if she is angry, she should settle the score with her husband, how can she vent it on another victim? But judging from her ransom for Dong Qinglian, her nature is not bad."
Yun Xi tapped her forehead and said, "You guys, it's too simple to think. To be honest, if Yun Shen really dares to spend 15 taels to buy someone's first night, no matter whether the two of them have a real relationship or not. I can't even forgive him, let alone help another person redeem himself, that's why I say she is generous."
The word Yun Xi Dadu has a deep meaning.
Lu Yiran immediately understood the deep meaning of her words, "That's true, it's indeed a bit weird. Judging from the fact that Mrs. Zhang disfigures her face when she doesn't agree with her, the other party's temper is not ordinary, and she shouldn't immediately sympathize with the enemy and turn hostility into friendship."
No wife, with or without intercourse, can accept such a thing.
Yun Xi chuckled, "Let's see the follow-up development, anyway, it has nothing to do with them."
She didn't bother to continue talking about this topic, she looked at Lu Yiran, "You guys will draw lots tomorrow, right?"
Lu Yiran nodded, "Anyway, no matter who the opponent is, we will be the champions." There was a sense of domineering in his words, full of confidence in his own strength.
Yun Xi smiled, "Come on for the game."
After Lu Yiran finished the gossip, she also felt drowsy, "I'm going to take a rest." She didn't bother to go back to her princess mansion, and directly rested at Yun Xi's side.Anyway, the relationship between the two is so good, there is no need for politeness at all.
"By the way, do you still have down quilts over there? I want to buy two. My down quilt was scratched by a cat I raised recently." Because of the snowstorm, both the down quilt and down jacket were sold out. Very good, basically they are the kind that are sold out as soon as they are put out, and Lu Yiran can't buy them even if he has money.Fortunately, she knew that the store owned a part of Yun Xi's shares, so she should have some extra, so she just went through the back door.
Yun Xi pondered for a moment, she still had a dozen down quilts in her warehouse.She bent her eyes, "After you go back, I'll just have someone send it to you."
Lu Yiran nodded, yawned and went to sleep.
After listening to the gossip, Yun Xi also started to get down to business.
Li Qiu found Yang Xin, the talent that Yun Xi requested yesterday, and it didn't take much effort to convince Yang Xin.Yun Xi's character is over there, and the good deeds she has done over the years have caused many people in the capital to think that she is the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva.So Yang Xin didn't think that Yun Xi would force him to write articles that violated his conscience, as the saying goes, leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade.
It's just that Yang Xin's only request is that he can buy twenty catties of charcoal from Yun Xi.Yang Xin's mother was very afraid of the cold after that serious illness. Yang Xin lined up three times in succession a few days ago and bought more than ten catties of charcoal. However, the weather has become colder recently, and the consumption of charcoal fires has increased greatly. Yang Xin He is a dutiful son, but his mother couldn't survive, so he thought about preparing more black charcoal to deal with it.
Yun Xi felt that Yang Xin was indeed a rare filial son, plus the red carbon in the storehouse was deducted from the red carbon she used for favors and for her own use, and there was still eight thousand catties left, so she ordered Li Qiu to send twenty catties of red Luo Tan gave Yang Xin.There is no smell and smoke when Hongluo carbon burns, which is more suitable for the elderly.
On the market, a catty of red Luo carbon costs about five taels of silver, and because it is a tribute, it cannot be bought even if you have money.Lai San was lucky enough to buy such a large batch.
When Yun Xi sent twenty catties over, Yang Xin really signed the document on the spot.The treatment Yun Xi gave him was also very generous. The polishing fee for each article was two taels of silver. If the writing was good, there would be an extra bonus. The monthly salary was two taels of silver.Even if Yang Xin didn't write an article for a month, he still had two taels of silver to support his family, and let him see what it means to be rich and powerful.
Yun Xi felt that the money was well spent, Yang Xin was grateful for her kindness, and helped find five quite capable students.
Yun Xi asked these five people to write an article based on the Cuju competition of the top [-] a few days ago. After looking at it, I found that the level of these five people may not be as good as Yang Xin, but they are much more suitable than the original team of Kapok. The most important thing is What I want is quick thinking, not the kind of dead-brained person.
After Li Qiu investigated the character of these five people, Yun Xi signed a contract with them.Their treatment may not be as good as that of Yang Xin, but it is quite good.
Yun Xi also made an appointment with them to give them a class today and teach them some tips and key points of news writing in her previous life.The class time is located in a small village outside the city, which is quite close to the printing factory.Yun Xi had already planned to use the small village as the office of the two newspapers.
Yun Xi went to Zhuangzi by carriage only after lunch, Yun Yao and Duo Duo were also with her, so they went to attend a lecture.
The authors of Kapok were also in the class with Yang Xin and others. When they saw Yun Xi appearing on the stage, they were stunned for a while, and it took a while to react.To Yun Xi's satisfaction, these surprises were all surprises, but she did not look down on her female status.
The writer of Kapok and the news writer with the ball at his feet are on the two sides respectively. Among the few people that Kapok asks for manuscripts all the year round, there are also two women. Fang Qiu's demeanor.
Yun Xi glanced at everyone and started the so-called news training.
"For news, what do you think is the most important thing?"
A young man in a blue cloth shirt hesitated for a moment and asked, "Really?"
Yun Xi glanced at him admiringly, "Naturally, he is upright and upright, seeking new information." Then she directly wrote these eight characters on the black wooden board, flamboyant and imposing.
Even gossip news should have its own bottom line, be impartial, uphold fairness, and uphold morality.
A kapok news writer was more familiar with Yun Xi, and he was a little more courageous, so he couldn't help asking: "Our previous articles also followed this point, but... the readers didn't really buy it." After only one issue was released, the Losing to the Beijing Times, which He Jian secretly built, is simply a shame and a shame.
Yun Xi glanced at him and said, "This is the focus of what I'm going to say next. There are still many ways to learn about writing, topic selection, and writing."
Yun Xi said everything, and continued to write key points on the blackboard, and the others also took out pens and paper wisely and began to take notes.No matter what they think in their hearts, they still look very serious on the surface.
Yun Xi also directly compared the articles written by the Kapok news writers. The comparison object was Yang Xin's articles, and said bluntly that the news writers of Kapok News wrote just a running account, dry, and completely unable to attract readers. attention.
There are many ways to choose what subject matter to choose, from what angle to approach it, and what method to use to write it.Some people who were still a little careless in their hearts unconsciously became serious after hearing this.
They are not fools, and their thinking is still active, so they quickly accepted these views put forward by Yun Xi, and faintly felt that there was a lot to be done.
After Yun Xi talked for about half an hour, she felt a little thirsty. She picked up the scented tea made by Yindan, took a sip, and asked, "If I were to write about the top [-] competition a few days ago, what would you like to write about?" subject?"
These people had obviously thought about these issues before coming here, and each of them expressed their opinions in turn. Some said that the focus should be on He Jian's flopping, and some said that they wanted to write about Unique Team.Unique is Deng Changming's team.Their team really had a lot of limelight this time. From the beginning to the end, they never let the opponent touch the ball, and the opponent couldn't score a single point.After the match, the opponent was so angry that his face turned black, but his skills were not as good as others, so he had nothing to say.
The unique team has also become the biggest dark horse in this competition. Everyone does not know where Deng Changming found so many Cuju players.Yun Xi was not surprised by this at all. Although Deng Changming was only the shopkeeper of Baiweizhai on the surface, he did not know how many dangerous goods he smuggled for Chu Xiyuan in private, so he naturally held a strong army in his hands.Selecting some of them to play Cuju is simply overkill.
Yun Xi was quite satisfied when she heard the people talking about it, she had improved a lot since the beginning.
After all of them had finished expressing their opinions, Yun Xi made a summary, and selected a few interesting topics from it, and asked them to go back and write about it.
Then she also selected a few topics for other people to try to write.Like selecting the top ten goals of the game, the top ten saves, and a few own goals.
These ingenious topic selections undoubtedly caught everyone's eyes, and each of them was sharpening their knives and preparing to write attractive and beautiful articles.Yun Xi had already given them the topic, if they still couldn't write it well, it would be unreasonable.
After a class was completed, an hour passed like this.
Yun Xi was not a stingy person in the first place, so she had people prepare pens, ink, papers and inkstones long ago, so that these people would not have to spend an extra sum of money.
She thought about sending two more cooks over to take care of the food for these people.
Yun Xi suddenly remembered a very important question. All along, she did not run a newspaper to make money. Kapok also wanted to improve the situation of women and plant seeds in everyone's hearts.The newspaper has always been not losing money.She is so stupid that she forgot a very important way to get money, that is to advertise!
When newspaper sales increase, advertising fees will naturally be a source of wealth.Although He Jian's newspaper came to an end without a problem, other people in the capital were still not optimistic about Yun Xi's new newspaper. Of course, Yun Xi would not be so stupid as to find an advertiser at this time.When the sales volume is high, it will be others begging her to buy it, not her begging others to buy it.
However, the advertising columns in the previous issues were unnecessary. Yun Xi also wanted the businessmen in the capital to see the power of the advertising columns in the newspaper, so she decided to take advantage of her own family first.The first issue of the ad is for big sister Yunxia's fast food restaurant.
After six months of operation, Yunxia's fast food restaurant can be called a little famous, but Yunxi feels that it is still not enough.
The good wind sent her to the blue sky by force.
Back in the mansion, Yun Yao greeted her directly, and said disapprovingly: "Sister, someone delivered a post this afternoon."
For Yun Xi, isn't it normal for her not to receive a post some day?
After receiving Yun Xi's questioning look, Yun Xia directly handed the post to Yun Xi.
The peony aroma from the post made Yun Xi frowned involuntarily, the smell was too strong.
Unfolding the post, it turned out that the person who sent the post was Zhang Du Shi, who they had only gossiped about in the morning, Zhang Ping's wife, the woman who ruined Dong Qinglian's appearance in a fit of anger and then redeemed her.
Mrs. Zhang Du mainly came here for the Qianhe ointment in Yunxi shop.Qianhe Ointment itself is the treasure of the town store, and the monthly share has been reserved before it is displayed.Zhang Du himself is not a member of Guose Tianxiang, so naturally he can't buy Qianhe Ointment.Even if you line up to buy now, you will have to queue at least two months later.
Zhang Dushi begged her very sincerely in the post, saying that she realized that Dong Qinglian was a very kind and beautiful woman, so she regretted her previous reckless behavior even more, and said that no matter how much she paid, she would be willing to buy a bottle of Qianhe Ointment.
This is the first time Yun Xi has seen such a strange thing, asking for medicine for her rival in love, this kind of thing is really intoxicating.
Yun Yao waited for her to finish reading, and said: "Sister, Mrs. Du really sent a lot of gifts, I think the gift is worth at least 5000 taels of silver."
Yun Xi's eyebrows twitched, "Did you accept it?"
Yun Yao shook her head, "Without my sister's permission, I wouldn't collect it indiscriminately. I just asked her to take it back."
Yun Xi nodded with satisfaction. Although Yun Yao has a quick temper, she still knows what to do and what not to do.
The cold wind blew, mixed with snowflakes, and drifted towards her neck. Yun Xi woke up from the cold in an instant, and hurried into the house.
The charcoal fire inside the house was burning vigorously, and the heat rushed towards us. From the ice and snow outside, it suddenly evolved into warmth like spring. Yun Xi felt a little hot, so she took off her furry cloak, and Yin Dan hung up the cloak.
Seeing Yun Xi, Zhu Zhu, who was sitting on the ground playing with building blocks, crawled over on both hands and feet. The speed of crawling was fast, her limbs were strong, and she was about to jump into Yun Xi's arms.
Yun Xi's hands were still cold, and the cold air on her clothes hadn't been warmed by the stove, how could she dare to hug her precious daughter, "Zhuzhu, I will hug you after my next mother." He signaled Yunyao and Douduo to hug Zhuzhu first.
Zhuzhu couldn't understand such complicated words, she only knew that her mother would not hug her, so she flattened her mouth in aggrieved manner, and called her in a vague way.
When Yun Xi heard her precious daughter's voice, her heart almost melted into a ball, and she directly used her internal force to warm her hands.Shuang Jiang took a warm thin coat and put it on for her.After Yun Xi put it on, she hugged Zhu Zhu who had been babbling for a long time in her arms, teasing her with a rattle in her hand.
Yun Yao asked: "Sister, are you going to sell Qianhe Ointment to Du Zhang?"
Yun Xi frowned slightly when she heard this. To be honest, Du Zhang's behavior really caused her a big problem.If she gave it, I don't know how many people will follow her in the future.If she doesn't give it... Everyone in the capital knows that Dong Qinglian wants to take 15 taels of silver to help the common people survive the snow disaster, but Yun Xi refuses to even give her a bottle of Qianhe ointment, which is too stingy.
Thinking of this, Yun Xi was in a particularly bad mood, feeling like being kidnapped by morality.
"If my sister doesn't like them, don't give them."
Yun Xi frowned and sneered, "I don't know who gave them the idea."
This recruit is indeed good.
angry?There must be, Yun Xi is not a saint, he was kidnapped by human morality, but he can accept it happily.
This Thousand Crane Ointment has to be given, and it has to be given with great fanfare, and everyone has to know that this thing is not so easy to get.
In a flash, Yun Xi had already come up with an idea.
At this time, Lu Yiran fell asleep and woke up. She was wearing a bright red pomegranate dress inside, and a moon-white down jacket outside, which felt nondescript.
Yun Xi raised her head and showed a bright smile to Lu Yiran, "Yiran, you are here. I just need your help with something."
Looking at her smile, Lu Yiran felt as if he was hallucinating, otherwise how could he see a tail flicking behind Yun Xi.
"What do you want to do?" She couldn't help taking a step back.
Yun Xi smiled slyly, "It's not a big deal, it's just a small favor, come on, let's make a confession."
……
Ever since Dong Qinglian was redeemed by Zhang Du, she has lived in a single-entry house.Mrs. Zhang Du even sent two maids to serve her. When people outside talked about this incident, they all praised Du Mrs. Zhang to correct her mistakes.
Sitting in the room, Dong Qinglian looked at herself in the mirror. There were three long nail marks on her jade-white face, one of which was from the corner of the eye to the chin, which was shocking.
Sitting in front of her, Mrs. Zhang Du said: "I have gone to the Princess Mansion with great fanfare, but I don't know if Mrs. Yun is willing to take out Qianhe ointment."
If anyone was present, they would be greatly surprised when they heard Zhang Du's voice.In front of Dong Qinglian, Zhang Du's tone was not at all like the attitude of the main room facing the outside room, but was faintly cautious.
Dong Qinglian looked at herself in the mirror, and the mirror in front of her was actually a rare glass mirror, which was clearer than the usual bronze mirror, with all the fine hairs on it.Dong Qinglian looked at herself in the mirror and frowned slightly, "Am I beautiful?"
Zhang Du said: "Miss Dong is naturally beautiful, at least I have never seen a more beautiful woman than you."
"Compared to Du Yunxi?" Dong Qinglian said, her tone raised slightly.
"Naturally, Miss Dong is more beautiful."
After hearing this, Dong Qinglian smiled happily, "I think so too." Even though she had these wounds on her face, she was still so beautiful and breathtakingly beautiful.Dong Qinglian didn't think that anyone would not be tempted by such beauty.
No, there are people who are not tempted.
She lowered her eyelids, subconsciously placed her hands on her lower abdomen, and felt a dull pain there.The boy in his memory had sharp eyebrows and looked at her with disdain and disgust.
The fingernails directly dug into the palm, Dong Qinglian came back to her senses, her eyes were picturesque, "Even if Du Yunxi doesn't want to send Qianhe Ointment, I can still get a bottle."
As soon as the words were finished, she heard a crisp voice from the door, "Does Miss Dong live here?"
Dong Qinglian was startled, picked up a veil and covered half of her face, "Let's go out and have a look." Zhang Dushi followed her, respecting her.
After the door was opened, Dong Qinglian saw a fresh and pretty girl in blue clothes smiling, her voice was obviously not loud, but it could be heard clearly by people with a radius of [-] feet, "This must be Miss Dong Bar?"
Dong Qinglian realized the identity of the other party, and gave a half salute. Her slender figure gave people a kind of infinitely beautiful reverie, and her voice was as beautiful as an oriole, with traces of coquettishness, "Next is Dong Qinglian."
The person who came was Li Qiu. Li Qiu's eyes fell on Dong Qinglian's exposed half of her face. Even though the scars on the exposed face were clearly visible, she could still imagine the peerless elegance under the veil. Her mouth evoked a proper ritual smile .
"This is Qianhe ointment sent to you by my wife." Li Qiu pronounced it with internal strength on purpose to let everyone around know about it.
A layer of water mist appeared on Dong Qinglian's brows, adding a hazy beauty, as if the stars were crushed in it, "Thank you very much, Mrs. Yun."
Li Qiu said: "This Thousand Crane Ointment was originally intended as an annual gift for Princess Yunni. My wife specially made an apology to Princess Yunni, and evened out her share of Qianhe Ointment. Princess Yunni is kind-hearted. , which is half of her credit."
Li Qiu deliberately let everyone know that Dong Qinglian cut off Lu Yiran's tricks in public. If anyone wants to learn this trick in the future, they have to weigh it.
A trace of panic flashed across Zhang Du's face, obviously he was afraid that his actions would offend Lu Yiran, after all Lu Yiran is a well-known playboy princess in the capital.
She nana said: "I didn't know this was prepared for Her Royal Highness..."
Li Qiu said indifferently: "The materials needed for Qianhe ointment are precious, so there are not many left for personal use every month. The bottle delivered today, Princess Yun Ni asked my lady for it half a year ago."
Li Qiu intentionally made Qianhe Gao very difficult, Dong Qinglian in front of her couldn't help but froze, and pushed Qian He Gao back.
"Since it is what the princess likes, how can I dare to take away people's love with a lowly status like me."
Li Qiu glanced at her and said calmly, "You should accept it. We all admire Miss Dong for donating 15 taels of silver for the common people."
Only then did Dong Qinglian accept the Qianhe ointment.
Li Qiu's eyes fell on the crowd of onlookers, and he cursed in his heart: Even the heavy snow all over the sky can't drown out the enthusiasm of these people to gossip.
The corner of her mouth curled into a gentle and harmless smile, which was [-]% similar to Yun Xi's, "I hope Miss Dong can recover her peerless beauty soon."
Then turned and left.She believed that the fact that she delivered medicine to her girl today would soon spread throughout the capital.
Zhang Dushi stopped her by calling out, "Girl..."
Li Qiu turned around, "Is there something wrong?"
Mrs. Zhang Du hurriedly said: "The woman has always been guilty of ruining Miss Dong's face. Now that she has the opportunity to make up for it, she is really grateful. A small gift is not a respect."
With her eyes, she signaled the servant girl to bring the gift over.
Li Qiu seemed to have expected this, she did not refuse, but raised her chin and said, "I understand. Send these things to the pawn shop."
The two guards beside her immediately lifted the box and were about to go to the pawnshop.
Zhang Du's face froze, she originally thought that Du Yunxi's maid would refuse, but she didn't expect that she would accept it directly and send it to the pawn shop.
Li Qiu smiled and said: "The pawned money just happened to be used to give out porridge these two days. This can be regarded as your kindness, Mrs. Zhang."
As soon as Li Qiu said this, the crowd onlookers shouted.Du Yunxi's character is over there. Since she said that she will spend money to do good things, she must do what she says.
Li Qiu pawned those things directly, and exchanged them for nearly 5000 taels of silver.Zhang Du's heart was pierced like a knife, but he still had to pretend to be happy, that was aggrieved.
After Li Qiu took the money, he turned around and went back, and told Yun Xi what happened here.
Yun Xi nodded, expressing her understanding.
Donating porridge doesn't need Yun Xi to do it in person, it can be handed over to the subordinates directly.Yunxi ordered them to do this from time to time, and they were very familiar with it.
……
On the other hand, Lu Yiran's luck in the lottery was not very good. The opponent was the Tianyi team—one was Ji Zhizhi's team, and this team was also the favorite to win the championship.Speaking of which, among the participating women's army, only Lu Yiran's team successfully reached the top [-]. They have also eliminated many so-called popular teams along the way, which is quite hard.But Yun Xi looked like Lu Yiran was enjoying it.
After drawing lots to determine the opponent, Lu Yiran enthusiastically took everyone to train.It just so happened that Duo Duo's work at hand has also come to an end these few days, so she also went to participate in training.
Yun Xi stayed at home, and the end of the new year was approaching. As the head wife of Yun Mansion, she had a lot of things to do.Because of the upcoming snowstorm, Yun Xi ordered that this year's annual gifts for those tenants be replaced with more practical ones.
For example, according to the population, each person is divided into [-] catties of charcoal, [-] catties of rice, [-] catties of cotton and [-] catty of meat.Although there is less meat than last year, there is more charcoal and cotton, which are the most scarce areas now.Yunxi may not be able to control other places, at least in her territory, she would not like to see someone freeze to death.
Those tenants were very grateful when they received the annual gift.Yun Xi also asked people to patrol their houses, and if the houses were not strong enough, they would help build them.
Yun Xi didn't forget about those employees in the store, and ordered the year-end bonus to be distributed to let everyone have a good year.
The authors on the other side also sent over the articles they wrote in the past two days.Yun Xi checked it out, selected the best ones, did a good job of typesetting, sent them to the printing workshop for printing, and tried to sell them before the tenth day of the lunar new year.
For two whole days, she was so busy that she didn't even have time to play with her daughter.Fortunately, Zhuzhu is very well-behaved, as long as she can see her, she won't make any noise.Yun Xi only needs to put her not far from her, and then throw her a bunch of toys, and then she can settle the score.
The New Year ceremony was similar to last year, with some close relatives, Yun Xi added red carbon into it.For example, although Yan Ling is also the wife of the eldest son, the Wen family has a large population, and the Hong Luo Tan and Yin Frost Tan are divided into one share, and each person does not get much.These two things were relatively difficult to buy in the market, so Yun Xi simply sent a hundred catties to her friend, which was regarded as a solution to Yan Ling's urgent need.
After she read the account books of several shops, Shuang Jiang brought over the warm jujube tea.Yun Xi took a sip and felt warm all over her body.
When she was about to rest, the concierge came to report that Dong Qinglian had come.
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, but asked someone to invite Dong Qinglian over.
Different from what Li Qiu saw at that time, today Dong Qinglian has never put on a veil, and her beautiful face is completely displayed in front of people.I don't know if the effect of Qianhe ointment is too good. There are no previous scars on her face, and the skin breaks instantly, with natural beauty. Every frown and smile are full of amorous feelings.
Dong Qinglian came slowly with Guqin in her hand, like a fairy walking down from a painting.She came to Yun Xi, bowed her head and bowed her knees, "It is thanks to your kindness that Qinglian can restore her appearance, madam. Qinglian has nothing to repay her for her great kindness. She can only play a piece of guqin to express her gratitude."
Yun Xi also heard that Dong Qinglian's piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings are all excellent, but she raised some expectations.She had also heard the musicians in the palace play before, so she didn't know whether Dong Qinglian was better or less coquettish than them.
Zhuzhu blinked her big black eyes, she seemed to be very interested in Guqin and wanted to climb over it.
Yun Xi picked up Zhu Zhu, and Zhu Zhu returned to her favorite embrace, she immediately forgot about it, and kept huddling in Yun Xi's embrace.
While Yun Xi skillfully comforted her daughter, she watched Dong Qinglian put her slender hands on the guqin, which seemed to be expensive at first glance, and gently plucked the strings.The wonderful Guqin sound flowed through her fingertips, like gurgling water, clear and pleasant to the ear, as clear as splashing jade, trembling like a dragon's chant.
As soon as the experts make a move, they will know if there is any.
Yun Xi has also learned the guqin, but there are so many things to do today, so she didn't practice the piano much, but there is still no problem in tasting.
Dong Qinglian's guqin is surprisingly good, unlike her own impression, the sound of the piano has a kind of ethereal taste.Yun Xi didn't know which piece she was playing, the only thing she could be sure of was that she had never heard such a tune.She felt that her soul seemed to be attracted by the sound of the piano, and she fell into a trance state. Apart from the sound of the piano, there was no other superfluous sound in her ears.
Suddenly there was a crying sound, Yun Xi came back to her senses, and found that Zhuzhu in her arms suddenly started crying, "Mother..."
She made a vague sound, and her pink and jade-carved face looked very aggrieved.
No matter how beautiful the sound of the piano is, it can't compare to the cry of my own daughter.
Yun Xi was a little puzzled, Zhu Zhu had only eaten half an hour ago, logically speaking, she shouldn't be hungry.Her ass was very dry and obviously not a peeing problem.
Yun Xi patted her daughter's back and comforted her in a low voice.Zhuzhu was sobbing, her black grape-like eyes were soaked with tears, looking so clear and clean.
Dong Qinglian hesitated for a moment, but continued to play the song to the end.It's just that maybe it was disturbed by Zhuzhu's crying, her piano sound was less dusty than before, and had a little more fireworks.Even if the realm is broken, Yun Xi still has to admit that her skills are very superb, and she can be called a master.
After playing a song, Yun Xi praised: "The so-called lingering sound lasts for three days, it's nothing more than that."
Dong Qinglian pursed her lips and smiled, "I dare not be praised by Madam."
Dong Qinglian seemed to simply want to use this piece of music to thank Yun Xi for Qianhe Gao, and bid farewell to Yun Xi after playing it.Yun Xi didn't intend to keep her, but just asked someone to send her out.
Shuang Jiang watched her slender figure gradually go away, and frowned slightly, "She didn't stay."
Yun Xi tugged at the corners of her mouth, and found that Zhuzhu had stopped crying, her small hand was holding the jade bracelet on Yun Xi's wrist, as if she wanted to put it in her mouth.
Yun Xi immediately put Dong Qinglian behind her, and nodded Zhuzhu's head, regardless of whether she understood or not, "Ah, you girl, why do you like to put everything in your mouth?"
She also knew in her heart that this was the nature of children.
……
Dong Qinglian left the princess mansion and got into the carriage.After the carriage started slowly, she felt a bloody smell coming up, and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
A bright red flower bloomed on the pure white handkerchief, which looked so shocking.There was also blood remaining at the corner of Dong Qinglian's mouth, which added a ray of seductiveness to her.
She took a deep breath, holding back the faint pain coming from her internal organs, and there was a bit more hatred in her eyes.
... I just finished writing it now... Hey, I will try to update it in the morning tomorrow.Make a fist, at least change from evening to afternoon
