The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 272 Knowing the current affairs, the sky has changed

The quality of the girls in Lanxiang Pavilion is quite good, all of them are beautiful and talented.Even without Dong Qinglian, sooner or later she would be famous.A piece of mouse droppings ruined a pot of porridge, because of Dong Qinglian's relationship, everyone looked at them strangely, thinking that they and Dong Qinglian were the same.Conscience of heaven and earth, Dong Qinglian entered Lanxiang Pavilion only a few months ago, and she rarely dealt with other people after entering.

Yun Xi frowned slightly. Although she hated Liniang, the old bustard, she would not take her anger on other poor girls.

Yin Dan said: "Do you want them to come in?"

Yun Xi said: "Let's talk about Liniang's conditions now." If it's too much, no matter how much Yun Xi pity those girls, she won't harm her own interests.

Yin Dan nodded and said: "Those girls are indeed not bad."

She turned around and quickly invited Na Liniang over.

Liniang was wearing a light green dress with no makeup on, her eyes were swollen like rabbits because of crying a while ago, it was different from the heavy makeup that Yun Xi saw in Lanxiang Pavilion before.Liniang is about 40 years old, she can be considered a mid-mature lady, because she is well-maintained, but she can also be considered unique.

After she was brought in front of Yun Xi, she immediately knelt down, the sound of kneeling was quite loud, without any effort, and then she kowtowed fiercely, and when she raised her head, her forehead was red.

"Before, my family was deceived by lard, and I helped that Dong Qinglian. A lowly person like me is not qualified to appear in front of my wife. Thanks to my wife, I gave my family a chance to make amends."

Yun Xi felt that Liniang still had a bit of brains, for example, she didn't just shirk her mistakes when she first came up, but took it on and seemed much more sincere.

Yun Xi took a sip of her tea and said lightly, "What was your previous plan?"

Liniang hesitated for a moment, but still gritted her teeth and said what was in her heart, "Madam, you also know that there are noble people behind the brothels in our capital. After the Ren family who supported us fell down, we can only find a new one for ourselves." backing."

The Ren family... Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, she didn't know about this, and she didn't expect that the backer of Lanxiang Pavilion would be the Ren family whose house was ransacked.

"I have seen countless beauties in this line of work, and Dong Qinglian's appearance can be called outstanding." Although Liniang wanted to hide it, she thought she couldn't hide it, so she might as well say it out to show her sincerity.

"Originally, I thought that if she could cling to the elder son, even if she was just a concubine, the elder master could become the backer of Lanxiang Pavilion." Who knew that elder son Yun would bring his wife in a fair manner even when visiting the brothel. It was too late to use it, so I could only try my best to gain Dong Qinglian's reputation in exchange for some benefits.

Yun Xi's tone was calm, unable to detect any emotion, "You guys are quite thoughtful."

Liniang bit her lower lip and said: "If we had known this, we should have asked Madam to be your backer."

Yun Xi felt that Liniang was not as courageous as usual, but she could be said to be able to bend and stretch, and was very knowledgeable about current affairs.

"So you plan to join me?" If Liniang directly sent such a brothel to her door, Yun Xi would be willing to accept it.Brothels have always been a good place to gather intelligence.

Liniang said: "If Madam is willing, it will be our Lanxiang Pavilion's honor." She paused and continued: "Whether Madam is willing or not, these twenty girls are willing to give to Madam, That's what they were made for."

Yun Xi didn't decide if she wanted to take over this company, but she wanted these twenty girls. At worst, she would think of a show for them and arrange it during the performance, but unless their rehearsal reached Yun Xi's standard, she would not She won't let them on stage and ruin her reputation.Speaking of which, the second disaster relief performance will start in a few days.

This time Yun Xi was mainly facing ordinary people, so the ticket price was set very low, that is, a nominal penny was collected.And in order to have more seats, those so-called seats had to be dismantled, and only a part was reserved for the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and the young.As for those wealthy families, since there are no seats, and Yunxi will continue to put on this show, they will have plenty of opportunities to watch it, so there is no need to feel wronged to stand and huddle with a group of "common people".

Many people who bought tickets were very happy.After surviving the cold days when the snow melted some time ago, the weather began to warm up, and the days were much easier.At least it is no longer the same as before, where two pots of charcoal fires are needed to keep the house warm.Yun Xi heard that some time ago, in order to save charcoal, many poor families slept in the same room on the floor.

After more than a month of training, the performance was even more exciting than the first time. There was continuous applause throughout the process, and no one complained that there was no place to sit.Common people have limited money, and the rewards are basically a few pennies.Little things add up, and after one night, I have prepared several hundred taels of silver.Yun Xi delivered the money to the household department directly in front of everyone.

The viewers were a little embarrassed and said, "It's a pity that we don't have much money." If they all donated, the family would have to drink Northwest Wind.

Yun Xi smiled indifferently, "For you, every penny is very precious, and it is very rare for you to donate these. Donations are based on your heart, not the amount."

In a word, everyone's heart warmed a lot.

Yun Xi performed three more consecutive performances, all three of which were open to civilians, and said that those who had seen it before would give the opportunity to others.Therefore, after four performances, the brothel girls who participated in the performances are completely famous.

Walking on the street, when buying a bunch of vegetables, the aunt would look at them lovingly, "Your show is really good, it's really amazing."

Then, by the way, a handful of green onions were stuffed.

Anyway, everything is going for the better.People in the past, when they saw them, their first reaction was the fans in the building, but now they have become "that Hua Mulan who is more masculine" and "that Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara".Some of the most famous ones were even respectfully addressed as Mr.

No one doesn't like being respected by others. These women know that Yunxi gave them the good life they have now, and it is hard-won, and they cherish it even more.Originally, Yun Xi was worried that after these people were praised, their bones would be much lighter. Later, she realized that she didn't have to worry about it at all, and everyone became more active during training.

Yun Xi saw that they had been working hard these days, so she specially gave them a ten-day long vacation, and even gave each of them a bonus of 100 taels, as well as a lot of silk jewelry.Accompanied by Yunfu's guards, many people went out to go shopping happily, and they didn't have to force a smile to serve all kinds of men. They lived a leisurely and happy life.

However, she was still hesitant about accepting Lanxiang Pavilion.Even if you want to accept it, you cannot bring yourself in.

After Yun Yao found out about this, she volunteered to volunteer, expressing that she was willing to give Yun Xi a hand.Dodo was able to become the leader of the Baiyi Sect for her sister, and she also wanted to do something for her sister.

Anyway, she only needs to write articles of a few thousand words every month now, so she has a lot of free time.

Yun Yao was eager to try this.Yun Xi thought about it, and felt that it made some sense, so she directly asked Yun Yao to write a proposal.If she is in charge of Lanxiang Pavilion, the business model will definitely have to be changed.She can't control others, at least where she can do it, she can't see such things as prostitution, and everything is voluntary.If they don't want to sell their bodies, then they should be a performer.The big deal is to prepare a few more novel programs to attract people.

After Yun Xi made up her mind, she also gave Na Liniang an affirmative answer.Yun Yao hurriedly went back to the house to write her plan, while Lanxiang Pavilion was temporarily closed for a rectification work.

……

Time passed without haste, and the capital city returned to its former bustle.At the end of February, Zhang Peng, the prefect of Huizhou, said in a zhezi that the people in Huizhou were in dire straits because of the snowstorm. Even if the government distributed houses and relief money, it would be a drop in the bucket.

It takes eight days for Huizhou to go back and forth from the capital. Chu Xiyuan did not expect that Huizhou would be so serious. The relief money sent there was similar to that of other disaster-stricken prefectures.

After Chu Xiyuan knew about it, he immediately sent Li Si, the right servant of the household department, to Huizhou with 20 taels and a lot of grain.

At the beginning of March, Li Si came back and wept bitterly in front of the emperor about the tragedy of Huizhou.It is said that the people in Huizhou are impoverished, wearing shabby clothes, shivering in the cold wind.Li Si also spoke for Zhang Peng, saying that he had asked the common people, and indeed he had received money and charcoal from the government.

However, the disaster was serious, and that little thing was simply not enough.

After Chu Xiyuan learned about it, he sighed and ordered someone to send a batch of supplies over.

Under Yun Xi's guidance, everyone felt more or less conscious of donating.Many noble ladies shed a few tears of pity when they heard the plight of those people, and took out their ladders to donate them.

Yun Xi felt something was wrong, she couldn't help calling Li Qiu over, with a serious expression, "How many refugees have we accepted in our village?"

Li Qiu respectfully said: "There are 1000 people short of 2000." She added: "The new textile factory has also accepted more than [-] female workers from other places." When many Zhuangzi buy people, they prefer to buy men. of.Fortunately, Duo Duo is still there. Up to now, Baiyi Teacher has three textile factories in the capital alone, and some of them are short of manpower. These women from other places have relieved their urgent needs.

Yun Xi frowned slightly, and said, "That means there are more than 3000 people in total, right?"

Li Qiu nodded.

Yun Xi sneered and said: "There are more than a dozen prefectures affected by the disaster this time, and the refugees who came to the capital are basically from these places, but I haven't seen many people from Huizhou in the files."

Every recruited person has been carefully checked by Li Qiu to avoid being fished in troubled waters.After the review, Li Qiu gave the list to Yun Xi for review.

Yun Xi has a good memory. Although she can't remember the names of so many people, she remembers that there are very few Huizhou people on the roster, and there may not even be ten people in total.

If the disaster is really as serious as Zhang Peng, the prefect of Huizhou, said, even reaching the point of exchanging children for food, the common people are not fools, and they will definitely run to a place where they can survive.As the capital of the country, the capital is naturally treated the best at the feet of the emperor.

Then there should be many refugees in the capital who belong to Huizhou.

Li Qiu is not a fool, he heard Yun Xi's meaning, and said quickly: "I'll see if there are Huizhou people among the people we recruited, and then call them over."

Yun Xi ordered: "Let Lu Sheng investigate the number of refugees in Huizhou in the capital." There is no need to investigate all of them, and people who only look at an area will know.

Li Qiu nodded and said, "I know."

When Yun Shen came back at night, Yun Xi didn't forget to tell him this doubt.

Yun Shen frowned fiercely, "You mean that Zhang Peng is lying? But although Li Si's temper is a bit pedantic, he is still upright, so he won't fall in with him."

Yun Xi said softly: "Li Si... Maybe he was also kept in the dark."

In her previous life, she had seen quite a few face-saving projects.

She pursed her lips, and her expression became a little more unhappy, "What if what he saw was Zhang Peng who specially asked him to act for him? Then it is reasonable for Li Si to be fooled." As the magistrate, Zhang Peng It is not difficult to move such hands and feet.

Yun Shen's face turned blue.

Yun Xi held him and said, "If the disaster in Huizhou wasn't so severe, then Zhang Peng should have swallowed up all the money and rice grains that went down." Zhang Peng is really greedy even for disaster relief money. I am impatient to live.A magistrate may not have the guts to do such a thing. There should be someone behind Zhang Peng.

Yun Xi recalled in a daze that Zhang Peng's wife seemed to be the sister of the third concubine Yang Yeqing.She couldn't help but restrain her expression, and couldn't help but think deeply.

Because of his wife, Zhang Peng was basically regarded as the third prince Chu Ling's man by default.

If it is not handled well, the capital will change.

Yun Shen also thought of this, and said, "I will report this to His Majesty tomorrow."

Yun Xi said: "Wait until I ask the Huizhou people on Zhuangzi, and let them enter the palace to see His Majesty after I'm sure."

Yun Shen nodded.

The next day, Liqiu brought three Huizhou people from Zhuangzi, and there were only this number of people in her Zhuangzi.Two of them were mother and daughter, the child was only seven years old, and they looked at Yun Xi with innocent eyes.The other was a woman of about forty years old.

Seeing that the three of them seemed very reserved, Yun Xi asked them to sit down, and coaxed the little girl to eat with pink preserved fruit.This candied fruit is newly released by the century-old store this year. It comes in several colors, and it is really pretty. Because of its good appearance, it has been very popular since it was launched.

The little girl was attracted by the beautiful preserved fruit, and after being fed a few by Yun Xi, she happily ate the snacks.She has never eaten such delicious food since she was a child, and she has never seen such a good-looking person.

Yun Xi's action unintentionally made the two women in front of her heave a sigh of relief.

After Yun Xi finished feeding, she asked, "How is your life on Zhuangzi?"

The little girl's mother is called Han Sushi, and the other is called Qian Sanniang.

"Very good, here we can eat and clothe warmly, and work is very easy." Han Sushi sincerely thanked Mrs. Yun in front of her. She brought her young daughter. Many people were unwilling to hire her at all and took her in. Mrs. Yun of their mother and daughter has no intention of being her benefactor of reinvention.

Qian Sanniang also said repeatedly: "Everything is fine, we still have meat and vegetables to eat every day." This was something unimaginable in the past.

Yun Xi nodded and said, "I heard that both of you are from Huizhou? I heard that the disaster in Huizhou was very serious. Many poor people were hungry and cold, skinny, and there were even cases of cannibalism in order to survive." human tragedy."

Her brows and eyes were full of compassion, Yun Xi felt that she could go guest-starring as the merciful Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva even if she changed her clothes.

Then Yun Xi saw the shock on the faces of Han Sushi and Qian Sanniang, and their expressions did not seem to be fake.

"Cannibalism between humans? I don't know about other places, but it's not that serious over there."

"My family is the same. If my mean step-mother-in-law hadn't robbed my family of rice grains, I wouldn't have followed the caravan to the capital for food."

"This winter is indeed much colder than before, and there has been heavy snowfall for more than half a month, but because the government sent our family five catties of charcoal fire and fifty catties of rice, we can barely sustain it. We have already cut a lot of wood before winter. Your Majesty is such a good man!" Qian Sanniang's tone was sincerely grateful.

Five catties of charcoal fire and fifty catties of grain?

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows. She clearly remembered that the supplies of each state capital were distributed according to the head of the person, and each person could get three catties of charcoal fire and twenty catties of grain.

She asked, "How many people are there in your family?"

Although Qian Sanniang didn't understand why Mrs. Yun was interested in these things, she still replied seriously, "In addition, I have five people."

Yun Xi asked a lot of questions again, and her previous guesses were backed up.Huizhou... the disaster was not as serious as what Zhang Peng said. Zhang Peng even withheld supplies from his superiors.

She glanced out of the window subconsciously, and there were thin raindrops floating in the sky.

It's really going to change.
