The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 265 Reciprocity, Concubine Shu's Invitation

Within half a day, news of Dong Qinglian donating 5 supplies spread throughout the capital. [-] taels of supplies is actually enough, it's just that Dong Qinglian was praised too much before, and all kinds of high hats were put on her head, which would make her the kindest brothel girl.During this period of time, there were even many literati and poets who wrote poems and paintings for her, and their limelight overwhelmed Yun Xi who had done a lot of things silently.

The sense of expectation was too high. When the truth was revealed, those who praised her before felt as if they had eaten shit. There was a feeling of being deceived, and their fans turned black in minutes.Not to mention, everyone has always attached great importance to honesty, and Dong Qinglian's move has unintentionally violated a big taboo.

No one doubted that the two adults from the household department were telling lies, not to mention that in the past few days, everyone had indeed seen officials from the household department beside them seem to record something.This is undoubtedly Yun Xi's handwriting, and it can be regarded as Da Chu's version of fraudulent donation.After Yun Xi found out about this, she directly told the Master of the Household Department and gave them such an idea by the way.After the merit monument is built, there will definitely be some people who will donate a lot of money to see their names on it. Yunxi will benefit the common people.The officials of the household department could also see the benefits, reported to Chu Xiyuan and got his permission, and then started to operate this matter.

With the help of some people, Dong Qinglian's reputation fell faster than expected. This has nothing to do with Yun Xi, it is purely caused by other people.Who made Dong Qinglian too arrogant some time ago, stepping on many noble girls in the capital to become famous.For these powerful families, their daughters were compared with a prostitute and trampled under their feet, so they naturally hated Dong Qinglian.As soon as an opportunity is found, it is natural to add insult to injury.

There is also a reason why those girls donated generously to Yun Xi and Lu Yiran when they established the Red Cross Society.

Dong Qinglian also simply changed her residence, because she has been staring at her, her new residence is still under Yun Xi's control.

Following Dong Qinglian's supplies, Yun Xi also found some clues.

The candlelight in the house shone with a warm orange light, and under the light, the lines of Yun Xi's outline became softer and coated with a layer of soft brilliance.

She looked at the thin piece of paper in her hand, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but the smile didn't reach the original place.

After many days of following the clues, she finally found some clues.Zhang Ping, who bought Dong Qinglian for one night with 15 taels, was not a real wealthy businessman, but a commoner from other places.It was none other than several wealthy businessmen in the capital who provided Dong Qinglian with charcoal fire and other materials to make her famous.

Xu Sui, Zhang Boyong, Wang Xudong, Mu Zhengyu, Cheng Dazhen...the names of the participants were all written on this paper.Among them, Xu Sui, Zhang Boyong and others even spent a lot of money to buy some of Yun Shen's colleagues, letting them lobby Yun Shen to go to Nalanxiang Pavilion.

These people are either charcoal merchants in the city or fabric owners. The purpose of launching Dong Qinglian, Yun Xi pondered for a while, tried to guess very closely, and it was nothing more than profit.Yunxi launched cheap charcoal, and Duo Duo also sold cheap wood, which made these merchants who hoarded a lot of goods suffer a huge loss.

They naturally hated Yun Xi who stood in their way of making money, so they wanted to use Dong Qinglian to deal with Yun Xi.Even if it can't hurt Yun Xi, make her feel uncomfortable.It's just that they didn't expect Yunxi to make a counterattack soon, and the previous plan could only be shelved temporarily.

The corners of Yun Xi's lips curled up slightly, but these businessmen were indeed quite capable, and it took a lot of effort to find such a rare beauty like Dong Qinglian.She couldn't help guessing, if she hadn't been there that day, would these people have given away beauty on the spot?
No, there is no such possibility.If she didn't go, Yun Shen would definitely not go there either.Yun Xi still has this confidence.

Li Qiu sneered: "These people really have no sense of shame. When a natural disaster strikes, these people don't want to help everyone tide over the difficulties. Instead, they want to distribute disaster money. When they fail, they blame the young lady instead. It's really unreasonable."

Shuang Jiang, who was standing beside Yun Xi, had a murderous look in his eyes.Yun Xi has no doubts at all, as long as she orders, Shuangjiang will solve these people for her.

Yin Dan also had righteous indignation on his face, "Miss, I think we should tell everyone about their deeds, so as to ruin their reputation."

She now understands clearly that the so-called Flower Fair is simply a play put on by Dong Qinglian and these people.

Yun Xi blinked and said, "Unless there are more conclusive evidences, they won't admit it."

The smile on her lips turned into sarcasm, but Yun Xi herself is not the kind of person who would suffer for nothing, how could she dare to plot against her and bleed fiercely without paying the price?With Dong Qinglian's words, Yun Xi would not want to take advantage of her in vain.

She turned her head and told Li Qiu, "Next, continue to look for some of Zhang Ping's village elders. These people are all witnesses." It proves that Zhang Ping is not the so-called rich businessman, so that the people behind him can be involved.

The smile on her face deepened, "As for those merchants, I'll give them a gift first."

Courtesy is reciprocal, and reciprocity is not reciprocal, which is indecent.

……

When Dong Qinglian's reputation was ruined, someone spoke up for her again.

The person who broke the news said that Dong Qinglian is actually very innocent, and she has no intention of deceiving the public and gaining fame.Dong Qinglian is also a victim.

All her supplies were bought by Xu Sui, Zhang Boyong and others. Those big merchants hoarded a large amount of supplies, but because of Mrs. Yun, they couldn't drive up the prices and make a fortune.It just so happened that Dong Qinglian was in desperate need of supplies, so she could only trade with them, and successfully purchased these items from them at a price more than twice the market price.

This rumor spread throughout the streets and alleys overnight, pouring all the dirty water that had been poured on Dong Qinglian on the businessmen involved in a blink of an eye.

The common people hate this kind of profiteer who distributes disaster money the most. Hearing this, everyone is filled with righteous indignation.Hoarding, making illegal profits... These are things that people hate.The shops of the merchants involved in the rumors were smashed by the angry common people.Some even directly poured manure, so that these stores had to temporarily close their stores.

It's just that these people traded with Dong Qinglian, it can be said that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Although the common people can't wait to arrest these profiteers, but judging from the law, they really can't be caught. condemn them.

For merchants, reputation is especially important.It is conceivable that after this incident, these merchants will slowly lose out.

This rumor was undoubtedly released by Yun Xi, and the influence of Wanshiwu spread all over the capital, so it was possible to let everyone know this rumor overnight.

Of course, Yun Xi didn't want to help Dong Qinglian, she just wanted to see Dong Qinglian and those businessmen biting dogs.

If these businessmen want to wash off their stigma, they must prove the fact that Dong Qinglian fraudulently donated.

Unexpectedly by Yun Xi, these businessmen actually recognized it like this, and they didn't fight back at all, which greatly disappointed her - she didn't see the tearing force she imagined at all, as if it was smashed into cotton in a circle.Could it be that they directly exposed everything because they were worried that Dong Qinglian would die?
Yun Xi vaguely felt that this was not the case.If it doesn't work, they can still kill people to silence them. Yun Xi doesn't think that these people are so kind that even a brothel woman would be reluctant to kill them.There is obviously something tricky in this.

Yun Xi blinked, maybe Dong Qinglian's identity was not as simple as she imagined, at least it was enough to make these people fearful.

After these businessmen acquiesced to the fact that they blackmailed Dong Qinglian, Dong Qinglian's reputation was once again washed clean.Many ordinary people seemed very guilty that they had never believed her, and went to apologize to Dong Qinglian.Dong Qinglian graciously forgave everyone, and said that she also made mistakes, that she was too soft-tempered and too credulous to others.

For a while, Dong Qinglian's reputation seemed to be better than before it was damaged.

Yun Xi didn't care about this, the better her reputation now, the higher she jumped, and when the truth came out, she would only fall even worse.

Yindan was rather indignant about this, wishing to immediately catch all Dong Qinglian's lies and make them public.

Yun Xi simply found something for her to do, and asked her to contact brothels and flower streets in the capital other than Lanxiang Pavilion.The ice cuju competition has ended, and the Yongle Hall is also temporarily vacant.Yun Xi planned to use the Yongle Pavilion to hold a performance for disaster relief, and all the tickets and rewards would be donated to the disaster-stricken place.

For this kind of performance activity, you can only find brothel girls.Unless a girl from a good family is at a state banquet, how can she perform in public and be judged by others, even if the performance is for disaster relief.

The women in the brothel basically have talents and outstanding looks, and each of them has rich performance experience, so it will be easier to rehearse the show when the time comes.

Yun Xi wasn't worried that they would reject her. Everyone saw Dong Qinglian's beauty. I don't know how many brothel women wanted to follow her example. Since Yun Xi gave them a good chance to become famous, smart people would naturally seize this opportunity. opportunity.

Just as Yun Xi expected, almost none of her invitations refused.Many old bustards tried their best to sell their top oiran in front of her.

Every girl in the brothel tried her best to show her best side in front of her, so that Yun Xi could take a fancy to her.Yun Xi was surrounded by a group of warblers and swallows, and she suddenly had the illusion that she had a harem of three thousand. This feeling is really addictive.A group of gorgeous beauties is a great visual enjoyment in itself.

She asked these girls to sing and dance, and then selected about 100 of them, and then prepared to rehearse ten programs.

The program Yunxi has already been thought out: Feitian, Avalokitesvara, Water Sleeve Dance, Mulan Song...every one of them can be taken out casually, it can make people feel refreshed, let alone ten of them launched together.

One can imagine the sensation that such a performance will cause.After knowing her plan, no one chose to back down, even though Yun Xi said that the next training might be very hard.For these brothel women, no matter how hard it is, they are forced to live in prostitution.No woman entered here willingly at the beginning.

According to each person's specialties, Yun Xi assigned the performances.

She plans to set the performance time for the Lantern Festival...before then, these people have nearly a month to rehearse.

For those dandies in the capital, it has suddenly become difficult recently.When they went to the building to find their beauties, Qingyuan Huakui, they came to the conclusion that the girl went to rehearse the show, and she would not appear until the Lantern Festival.

For a while, the business of many flower houses was not as good as it was because of the lack of several pillars, but these old bustards were not fools, and they also knew that the temporary lurking was for the sake of a blockbuster in the future, so they all kept their mouths shut.Of course, it was not ruled out that they were worried that they would offend Yun Xi if they accidentally vented their anger.Lan Xiangge and other brothels were not invited by Yun Xi, and they didn't know why, but this did not prevent them from taking this opportunity to seize the market and stand out.

On the contrary, Lu Yiran came over directly, and asked straight to the point: "What program have you been working on recently?"

Yun Xi knew in her heart that her friend was not as harmless as it appeared on the surface. As Princess Duanchang's favorite daughter, Princess Duanchang even handed over part of her power to her. I can't hide it from her, not to mention that the Wenxiang Pavilion opened by Lu Yiran was also invited.Yun Xi never thought of hiding it from her.

Yun Xi smiled lightly and told her her plan.Lu Yiran also thinks this model is very innovative, "Is there a disaster relief performance? A charity performance...sounds really good."

She clapped her hands and said, "It just so happens that my theater troupe has put together a good play recently, so I'd like to join them when the time comes."

It's not a big problem to just add one more program.

Lu Yiran sighed, "Recently, the disasters in various places have been reported. This year's snow disaster is more serious than we imagined." When she mentioned this, her face unconsciously became serious.

Yun Xi pursed her lips, thinking of this, her heart also became heavy.Whenever natural disasters strike, it is the people at the bottom who suffer.

She could only comfort her: "Fortunately, we knew about such a disaster in advance, and the disaster is much better than expected."

She was telling the truth, because the disaster relief materials were prepared in advance, the casualties were not as many as imagined.For those families who suffered casualties, Chu Xiyuan also ordered them to distribute some money so that they could be buried. These days, the emphasis is on burial.

Because the capital is under the foot of the emperor, the disaster relief work is the best. Before the snow disaster, about 50 people died, some of them were frozen to death, and some of them were crushed by the collapse of houses.Because of this, the yamen became even busier. There were officials patrolling every street for twelve hours, and the manpower was not even enough until Chu Xiyuan also put the army into it.This is a bit of a shadow of disaster relief in the previous life.

It is said that Wen Yanhui was so busy that he didn't go home for ten days in a row, so Wen Wenyue was sent to Yun Xi's side.

Now Mingyue is thirteen, she is no longer a little lolita, she can be called a girl, her original apple face has been thinned into an oval face, which makes her eyes bigger.Perhaps it is because of the teaching of the mother in the palace that she no longer speaks childishly like she used to. After staying in the capital for a long time, she also has a ladylike demeanor. Only in front of acquaintances can she reveal her true nature.But Mingyue is still the same as in the past, she especially likes Yunxi.

As soon as Mingyue came over, she first rubbed into Yunxi's arms to act like a baby, and said happily, "Sister, my master is going to Beijing next year."

Yun Xi was surprised, she thought that Wu Weizi was going to stay in Fenghuang County forever, but she didn't expect him to come to Beijing one day.

Mingyue sighed, and said: "The old lady's health is getting worse, and the master is very worried about her." The old lady that Mingyue said was old lady Su, and also the mother of Empress Dowager Su and Wu Weizi.

Yun Xi understood that Wuweizi would definitely not be able to sit still in this situation.But Wuweizi's return to Beijing is also a good thing, Mingyue girl has another protector.

Wen Yanhui is about 27 years old, but he has not married yet, which is very rare in Dachu.

Yun Xi's eyes turned slightly. She received news a few days ago that Shu Erya from the grassland had fallen in love with Wen Yanhui at first sight two years ago.After Da Chu knew about the "prophecy", he also sent Wen Yanhui to tell the grassland in private, so that they could get ready, so the loss of the grassland was greatly reduced.

In order to express his gratitude, the khan of the grassland planned to send Shuerya, the pearl of the grassland, to the capital for marriage.I also know that Shu Erya will definitely choose Wen Yanhui, this is also a model of friendly relations between the two countries.

Yun Xi's impression of Shu Erya is not bad, she is a warm and lively girl.It's just that compared to Shu Erya, she must be more concerned about watching Mingyue grow up.It's just that it's unrealistic for Wen Yanhui to never get married, and it's too selfish.

Mingyue pursed her lips, sat beside Yun Xi, and said, "Sister, is my father getting married?"

Yun Xi's expression was slightly restrained, "Who told you?" Shu Erya will not enter Beijing until the next year, no matter how the rumors spread so quickly, it is impossible.

Mingyue said: "I heard people talking about this in our house." Mingyue is no longer the ignorant little girl she was when she was a child, she knows that her father has sacrificed a lot for her.So even if she has a new mother, she may feel uncomfortable, but she will definitely not object, as long as that person treats her father well.

She looked up at Yun Xi, regret flashed deep in her eyes.Sister Yun Xi was the mother she wanted the most... It's just that Uncle Yun was too treacherous, so he snatched away her sister first.Her father is also too dull, he can't even chase girls, thinking of this, Mingyue is a hater.

It's just that no matter how depressed you are, you can't change this fact.

Hearing Mingyue's words, Yun Xi's eyes flashed displeasure quickly.Not many people in the capital know about Shu Erya's entry into the capital, so how could the servants of the Wen family know about it, and it happened to be heard by Mingyue.I'm afraid that someone deliberately told Mingyue that he wanted Mingyue to interfere with this marriage.

She said seriously: "Those two people are uneasy and kind, have you found them yet?"

Mingyue said angrily: "When I went out, I didn't see the two of them." Mingyue is not a fool, and she can see this.

Yun Xi felt that it was time for the Wen Mansion to rectify itself.Wen Yanhui is not in the mansion all the year round, and Mingyue is young and lacks means, so I'm afraid she won't be able to suppress those moths.

She said: "Whether your father will get married or not, your position in his heart will not change."

Mingyue nodded heavily, "I know."

Yun Xi smiled and said nothing more.After Mingyue told her these things, she ran to play with Zhuzhu.Under Yun Xi's training, Zhuzhu was finally able to call out her father, but it was a pity that she only called out that one sentence, and when Yun Shen came back, she couldn't speak anymore.

Yun Xi wasn't worried either, Zhuzhu was only eight or nine months old and already able to speak very well.

……

These days, the disasters in various places have been reported to the capital one after another, and Yunxi also sent the 50 taels to the disaster-stricken areas and distributed them to the victims.Many girls from the Red Cross come from exceptional families, and some are even local parent officials. With so many contacts, things are going very smoothly.Because of someone's supervision, no one has the idea of ​​making this money.

In any case, the current situation is much better than the snow disaster in the previous life that Xu Manzhen said, and the damage has been reduced a lot.

During this period, He Su led a group of trained medical women to be active everywhere. They rescued injured civilians for free and popularized the treatment of frostbite for everyone, so they also won the praise of the capital.

Before the new year, Nie Yilong and his cousin Shen Suxin also held a low-key wedding. Because of the snowstorm and the urgency of the wedding, this wedding was not grand and very leaky.

Yun Xi had nothing to do with the Nie family, so naturally she wouldn't join in the fun and attend the wedding banquet.

Originally, not many people in the capital paid attention to the wedding, but who knew that something went wrong that day.

Yuan Fei didn't know what method she used, so she sneaked into Nie's house and expressed her heartfelt love to Nie Yilong.In the end, the two of them seemed to be unable to control their love, and they couldn't help turning up and down on the bright red marriage bed at home.Seeing that Nie Yilong hadn't appeared for a long time, the Nie family led people to find Nie Yilong, but it happened to break the scene.

At that time, there were many people who saw it, and the Nie family couldn't hide it even if they wanted to.

The Shen family knew that Nie Yilong had done such a thing. On the day of his wedding, he even had an affair with other women, and even missed the time.Even if they don't necessarily have much affection for Shen Suxin, they can't tolerate the Shen family being humiliated like this.The patriarch of the Shen family was so angry that he announced on the spot that the marriage between Shen Suxin and Nie Yilong had been dissolved.

Yun Xi feels that this is not necessarily a bad thing for Shen Suxin - Nie Yilong is not a good match.In this case, she is a complete victim, and people can only sympathize with her.In addition, after she got engaged to Nie Yilong, Nie Yilong seemed to be in good health, so the rumors about her Kefu also eased a bit.

Because of this incident, Nie Yilong and Yuan Fei became adulterers who were despised by everyone in the capital.There are quite a few flirtatious sons and daughters in Beijing, but no one like Nie Yilong can't wait to make a scene with his little lover on the day of his big wedding, and they are still on the marriage bed. I don't know how many people are disgusted by this matter.

As for Yuan Fei, that was the target of everyone calling for a beating.Everyone thought she was trying to seduce Nie Yilong at this time, and her intentions were too vicious.

I'm afraid that after today, it will be impossible for Nie Yilong to find a good marriage.Who would marry their daughter to such a person.Nie Yilong's mother, Mrs. Nie, was also so angry that she fainted. Before she passed out, she swore that she would not let a woman like Yuan Fei enter her Nie's house.

Yun Xi seriously suspected that there was something tricky about this matter.Yuan Fei might intentionally confide her heart to Nie Yilong at this time to deepen her position in his heart, but she would not do this kind of behavior.I'm afraid someone is plotting against the two of them.

When Li Qiu showed the results of the investigation in front of her, Yun Xi suddenly realized.

It was Deng Changming who gave Nie Yilong and Yuan Fei this great gift.He bribed the people around Yuan Fei, and with a few words, he seduced Yuan Fei to go to Nie Yilong on the big day, but was tricked by Deng Changming, and the two of them did such a disgraceful thing.

Yuan Fei lost her reputation in public, so she could only marry Nie Yilong.No, it should be said that in her capacity, she can only be an aunt at best.According to Madam Nie's hatred for her, she might not even be able to be an aunt.

Deng Changming's retaliation was really light and easy, without fireworks.sharp!
Yun Xi still admired his methods in her heart.only……

She asked Li Qiu: "Did he leave any traces?" Otherwise, how could Li Qiu investigate him.

Li Qiu respectfully said: "No, Mr. Deng revealed it on his own initiative. He eliminated all the traces very cleanly. If he didn't take the initiative to say, we may not be able to find him."

Yun Xi nodded slightly, knowing in her heart that Deng Changming was probably doing it for Yun Yao's sake.

Speaking of Yunyao, since the cuju competition, she seemed to be angry that Deng Changming didn't do his best, and let the water pass the championship away, and she was in a cold war with Deng Changming.No, to be precise, it was Yunyao who unilaterally fought him coldly.Deng Changming took the initiative to send the news at this time, maybe it was to please her, so that she could help intercede in front of Yunyao.

Both she and Deng Changming are smart people, even if Deng Changming never said it outright, Yun Xi could see this.

There was a faint smile in her eyes, "Let Yun Yao come over."

Yun Yao came over soon, her cheeks were blushing.Yun Xi could tell at a glance that she was probably bickering with Mingyue again. As long as the two of them got together, their IQ would automatically drop. When they bickered, it was about the same as a three-year-old child.But Yun Xi knew very well in her heart that the relationship between the two girls was very good, but they were used to using this method to exchange feelings.

As soon as Yunyao came over, she immediately complained, "Sister, Mingyue is too bad, she bullied me again."

Yun Xi glanced at her sideways, the two of them were in the same boat, and she didn't bother to care about the small quarrel between them.

After Yunyao complained in front of her that Mingyue had robbed her of her favorite snacks, she asked unsatisfactorily, "Why is my sister looking for me? Is there anything I can help with?"

Yun Xi just smiled and told her what Deng Changming did, "What do you think about this matter?"

Yun Yao was startled, and said: "What does this have to do with me, I don't have any idea."

This sounds like a prank.

Yun Xi sighed intentionally, and said, "Deng Changming's actions are really too much. Although those two people are disgusting, it shouldn't be calculated against them so as to make them notorious."

Yun Yao reflexively said: "You can't blame him, it was Yuan Fei who dragged an innocent person into the water first, sister, you also said that the one who teases first is the cheapest."

"He has fulfilled the two of them. Don't they fall in love with each other? Now that the innocent Shen Suxin can get rid of this marriage, it can be regarded as saving a life."

Yun Xi heard Yun Yao defending Deng Changming over there, and unconsciously became jealous.She had just said a few words to Deng Changming, and someone was waiting for her with such a long list of words.Before she got married, her arm was abducted, she really didn't want to keep her.

In the middle of Yun Yao's speech, she caught a glimpse of her sister's half-smile expression, and for some reason, her cheeks suddenly turned red.

"Sister, you bully me too."

She simply escaped the embarrassment in her heart by acting like a baby.

Seeing her younger sister's pretty expression, Yun Xi couldn't help but patted Yun Yao's head with her hand, "You are the one who decides about your affairs, and my sister will not force her own thoughts on you, she just follows her own heart."

She likes that the girls around her can live a little more happily, and don't have to do marriage and matchmaker's words like many people.

Yun Yao pursed her lips, but a trace of confusion and wavering flashed in her eyes.She is very satisfied with her current life and doesn't even want to change it.In other words, after seeing too many people's affairs after marriage, Yun Yao became a little afraid of marriage.Although she has also seen Yun Xi, Yan Ling and others have a very happy married life, but in the end there are still more unfortunate ones.Most of them treat each other with respect.

Yun Xi didn't say anything more, she knew that her sister would always figure it out.Compared with Yunyao, she was more worried about Dodo.Li Yushi became more and more anxious about Dodo's marriage, and seemed to want to see Dodo get married as soon as possible.Duo Duo's pressure is not normal.

……

On December 27, a reward fell on Deng Changming.

Because Deng Changming provided nearly one million materials and money, he was canonized as the male of the founding county, the title of the sixth rank, and the deputy envoy of the salt transportation department of the fifth rank.

In the past, even though Deng Changming had Princess Duanchang behind him, he was still looked down upon because he had no title or official position.Even the daughter of an eighth-rank official like Yuan Fei can pick and choose her.

Now that he has a title and an official position, Deng Changming is enough to make people look up to him.

It's not that no one has expressed opinions on this title, but Chu Xiyuan's attitude is very tough, saying that if any official in the court can donate millions of supplies, he will not be stingy with a small title.

For some wealthy businessmen, donating 100 million taels to buy a title is painful, but it is not impossible. However, if all the money is exchanged for materials, it will require a certain amount of network strength.

Anyway, because of this reward, Deng Changming has officially entered everyone's eyes.Some fourth- and fifth-rank officials with women of the right age also took aim at him, and seemed to think that it would be nice to have such a promising son-in-law.

Yun Xi knew very well that for the things that Deng Changming did for Chu Xiyuan in private, it was not an exaggeration to award a title.It's just that those things can't be put on the bright side, Chu Xiyuan can only reward him with materials as a reason.

After Deng Changming was canonized, the hardest hit was Yuan Fei.

Yuan Fei used to have a condescending attitude towards Deng Changming, but in a blink of an eye, Deng Changming has a title, and his official position is far above her father's. Even if her father is old, he may not be able to have this rank.

Thinking of this, Yuan Fei felt regretful.If I had known that she should have obeyed her mother's advice and stayed with Deng Changming, then she would also be the wife of the county man now.

Ever since she and Nie Yilong were caught raping, Yuan Fei was driven back by the Nie family, and the Nie family didn't even want to give her the position of an aunt.It wasn't until her parents went to Nie's house to seek justice, and in the end they only got a room as a roommate, and they would be sent to Nie's house in a sedan chair after a while.

According to how much Mrs. Nie hated her, one can imagine her life in Nie's house.

Thinking of this, Yuan Fei's heart ached, but it's a pity that money can't buy the medicine for regret.

……

After Deng Changming was canonized, many wealthy businessmen were tempted, and they all donated money enthusiastically.In just two days, the household department received 100 million silver, which was limited to wealthy businessmen in the capital area.

Chu Xiyuan chose a few of them with good reputation, and sent plaques to them, which is also a kind of reward.For these businessmen, although they could not obtain titles and official positions like Deng Changming, being praised by the emperor's golden words was enough to make them famous in the capital.

For Chu Xiyuan, a few words can be exchanged for money for disaster relief. This deal is quite cost-effective, and everyone is happy.

By the end of December, the days of heavy snowfall finally showed a tendency to stop.

Because of the snow disaster, the scale of the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace this year was much smaller, there was no program to praise, it was just a banquet in the past.

Yun Xi ate at home as usual, and only entered the palace after stuffing her belly.She originally planned to set off with Yan Ling, but unfortunately Yan Ling accidentally caught a cold a few days ago, and she is still not in good health, so she will not enter the palace today.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Yun Xi got off the carriage, Li Qiu and Nanny Zhang stood beside her, Li Qiu directly put the small hand stove in her palm.

Although the snow had stopped, the capital city was still freezing cold, and many people couldn't help shivering after getting off the carriage.

Yun Xi walked in slowly. Before going to the banquet, she had to meet the second princess.When the second princess left the palace earlier, Yun Xi promised her that she would give her two bottles of rose essential oil, so naturally she must keep her word.The second princess is ten years old this year, and she has reached the age of beauty.

In addition, Yun Xi also prepared a set of fluffy panda clothes for the second princess with a wicked sense of humor. Wearing them on her body can keep her warm, and it can be used as pajamas for her.

When she arrived at the palace, the second princess had been waiting for her for a long time, her eyes lit up when she saw her, and she seemed to want to rush over, but she was worried about the so-called waiting for the princess.

Yun Xi held back a smile to greet her, and gave her the agreed gift.The second princess was indeed very happy, and she also liked the warm looking panda clothes very much. If she hadn't been going to a banquet later, the princess mansion on her body was not easy to take off, she might have changed it on the spot and tried it.

It was a pity that Yun Xi couldn't immediately see how cute she looked in this dress.

The second princess is a very cute little girl, and invited Yun Xi to have a snack, saying: "Madam Yun can eat a few pieces to pad her stomach, the dishes at the banquet are cold when served in this weather."

Yun Xi couldn't bear to refuse the little girl's kindness, so she ate two pieces of melt-in-your-mouth snacks and drank another cup of tea.

She originally planned to sit here until the banquet was about to start, but in the middle of the conversation, a strange maid came over.

Seeing the maid, the second princess whispered in Yun Xi's ear, "That's the maid next to Concubine Shu."

Yun Xi originally thought that the maid was here to find the second princess.

This court lady who looked very friendly blessed them and said after a salute, "Concubine Shu heard that Mrs. Yun has entered the palace and wants to see Mrs. Yun."

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, she had no friendship with Concubine Shu.In the palace, because of Mrs. Su and Wu Weizi, she walked closer to Concubine De.These concubines in the palace basically don't have fuel-efficient lamps. Yun Xi doesn't want to get too close to other concubines who have children, so as not to give others the wrong impression.

Not to mention... Concubine Shu had formed an alliance with Xu Manzhen's sister before, and she had long been classified as an enemy.

The second princess hesitated for a moment, and was about to say something to help Yun Xi refuse, but Yun Xi pinched her palm to stop her.She had a perfectly apologetic expression on her face, "I'm really sorry, I have to visit Empress Defei first, I can't greet Empress Shu immediately."

She decided in her heart to ask Concubine De first, even if she went to Concubine Shu, she would not go alone, at least she had to find a few witnesses, so as not to be tricked by someone accidentally.

Regret flashed across the maid's face, and she said: "Well, my mother has heard that Mrs. Yun's reputation has been around for a long time, she admires her very much, and she has always wanted to meet you."

Yun Xi just smiled and didn't say anything. She wondered if Concubine Shu wanted to win her over so that she could help her son.

After the maid left, she bid farewell to the second princess.They all agreed to see Concubine De, so they had to go.
