The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 343 Reciprocity, visiting relatives
Li Qiu suppressed his anger and reported the information he heard, without any so-called embellishment.

Yun Xi lightly stroked the jade pendant made of Qingluan wood, but there was no expected anger on her face, but a look of clarity.

"I see."

With the backing of the emperor Chu Ling, it's no wonder that Wu Yin is so confident.She could guess why Chu Ling wanted to solve her.Chu Ling's guard against Yun Mansion was too deep, and Yun Mansion was built like an iron barrel by her, and no one else could penetrate it at all.

Chu Ling's desire to control is not ordinary, how can he bear the foot of the capital, there are places where he doesn't know the situation.

Rather than burying a nail in hard, it's better to just get a nail that the Yun family can't remove.

Wu Yin was the chess piece chosen by Chu Ling. At first she was a little bit reluctant, but after meeting Yun Shen herself, she felt that Man Da Chu really had no one who could beat him. It disappeared.Even if the matter is exposed, Chu Ling will be able to push all over Wu Yin at that time, saying that she has admired Yun Shen for a long time, which is why she is obsessed.

Chu Ling's calculation was really good.

"girl……"

Li Qiu's voice brought Yun Xi back to her senses, and she calmly ordered, "Continue to monitor Wu Yin, and send it as soon as there is any news." She paused, and continued: "Chu Ling should have planted a nail beside Wu Yin. , so tell the people below to be careful, and don't startle the snake by making mistakes."

Li Qiu nodded vigorously, since the matter is of great importance, naturally it cannot be ignored in the slightest.She didn't have any thoughts of shrinking or panic because her opponent was the emperor of Da Chu.For Liqiu, it is the girls who help them get out of the sea of ​​suffering, and it is the girls who teach them to study and practice martial arts so that they can live in dignity and stability.Even if the girls wanted them to assassinate the emperor, they would nod and agree without hesitation.

Looking at Li Qiu's resolute back, Yun Xi couldn't help but hook her lips.So what if the enemy is the Son of Heaven who holds the power of life and death over ten thousand people?It wasn't the first time she and Yun Shen had done such a thing as killing a king.

In her bones, she never had reverence for the imperial power. She used to be respectful to Chu Xiyuan only because he was a respectable and lovely elder.

Chu Ling did the first day of junior high school, so don't blame them for doing the fifteenth day.

Before the first month came out, the so-called assassin investigation came out.In the end, it was the White Lotus Sect, a non-governmental rebel organization that was always unbeatable, who was blamed.If it is said that the White Clothes Sect takes liberating women from all over the world as its mission, then the White Lotus Sect takes rebellion as its mission.

Speaking of it, the existence of the White Lotus Sect is not generally long, at least more than 500 years.It's just that they have never succeeded in rebelling up to now.During Chu Xiyuan's reign, it was even more debilitating.

No one doubted that Chu Ling blamed the White Lotus Sect on the White Lotus Sect, and many officials hunted down the remnants of the White Lotus Sect.

Yun Xi was a little thankful that the Baiyi Sect had crossed Ming Road in front of Chu Xiyuan, and the contribution of the spinning car was still there, so no one dared to put shit on Duo Duo.

They also buried some nails in the palace, but they were never disposed of by Chu Ling because of Yang Yeqing's cover.That's when those eyeliner nails come in handy.

Originally, Chu Ling only suffered a slight injury to his left arm, but because during the first lunar month, he went to the garden with Empress Xi to enjoy the flowers, and was drenched by the rain, the wound became inflamed, and it also caused a series of sequelae such as fever.

The censor of the imperial court is not a vegetarian, and he directly submitted the zhezi to express that the concubine Wu Yu was suspected of being a concubine, and Wu Yu had to take off her hairpin to plead guilty.

Of course Chu Ling's body is not so fragile, it's just that the imperial physician has tampered with his medicine.Because it was just making a fuss about the dosage, even other imperial physicians couldn't find out what was the reason.

At that time, Han Ruyi also seized the opportunity and sent Zhenren Zhang to Chu Ling.

Chu Ling didn't really believe in these things at first, but Zhang Zhenren showed some "real skills" in front of him, such as fishing things in boiling oil, such as divination things that others didn't know at all, and his appearance was real. Chu Ling was convinced by the fairy style.

Zhenren Zhang didn't miss this opportunity, and gave Chu Ling the elixir he usually refined.After Chu Ling took it, she really found that her spirit was much better, and her sex life was full of dragon-horse spirit.So this real Zhang became favored in front of him.

Moreover, Zhenren Zhang also knew how to be careful. He refused all the gold and silver gifts that Chu Ling gave him, and only selected a few rare and elegant manuscripts, and he never accepted bribes to speak good words for others.Chu Ling originally wanted to test him and expressed his willingness to canonize him as a national teacher.

Immediately, Zhenren Zhang shook his sleeves angrily and left, as if he didn't come here for fame and fortune, and awarding him as a national teacher is an insult to his character.After this series of behaviors, Chu Ling believed that he was a real master of Taoism, not the kind of fraudster.

Zhang Zhenren neither seeks money nor officials, and usually persuades Chu Ling to focus more on political affairs.In this way, those censors couldn't find an excuse to impeach him, and some ministers also ran to ask him.

Zhang Zhenren's eloquence is very good, the dead can be talked about by him, and those who went to him to discuss the Tao were fooled by him, and they really became so-called fans.

Yun Xi listened to the people reporting the news about Zhang Zhenren, and couldn't help laughing: "It really is the number one scholar in the world."

He knew the details of Zhenren Zhang. He was just a liar at first, but after visiting the Northern Wei Dynasty, he saw that the monks in the Northern Wei Dynasty were very popular with high-ranking officials and nobles, so he thought of bluffing and deceiving him.It's just that he didn't want to become a monk, so he simply became a Taoist priest.

He learned the rhetoric of the monks in the Northern Wei Dynasty and put it to use now. He also went to Taoist priests to learn about alchemy and other matters, and then he really made a name for himself and was selected by Han Ruyi.After that, Yun Xi sent someone to secretly contact Zhang Zhenren.Zhang Zhenren also had the idea of ​​becoming a national teacher at the beginning, but when Li Qiu told him about his deceitful methods, Zhang Zhenren obediently became a spy.On the surface, he was an expert invited by Han Ruyi and Niu Quansan Gu Maolu, but in fact he was Yun Xi's thorn in the side.

If it wasn't for Yun Shen himself, how could Chu Ling see immediate results from the pills he practiced after taking them.Yun Xi also kept an eye out that the people who came into contact with Zhenren Zhang were all in disguise. Even if Zhenren Zhang was dug out in the end, she would not be able to investigate her side.Zhang Zhenren didn't know her identity.

As the saying goes, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years.

Whenever Chu Ling felt unwell, she would take pills.His body looks healthy, but in fact it has been gradually hollowed out by the pills, leaving a lot of hidden dangers, just maintaining the airs.

Because of Zhang Zhenren, Han Ruyi and Niu Quan also gained a lot of face in front of Chu Ling.Niu Quan was originally appointed by Chu Ling as the magistrate when he ascended the throne, but after only one year, he became the director of the clan mansion.Regardless of the fact that the official position has not changed, Beijing officials have always been more respectable than local officials. From a local official to a Beijing official of the same level, it is already a promotion.

Yun Xi was very happy to hear this, and she also hoped that Han Ruyi would play more tricks.

However, Han Ruyi has also been an official's wife outside for more than a year, and her skills are good, which makes the city a lot deeper.When I accidentally saw Yun Xi, she was respectful and sincerely apologized for her past behavior.

The world has more sympathy for the weak, and she has lowered her frame like this. If Yun Xi still confronts her and falls into the eyes of others, she will appear a little aggressive.

Yun Xi took advantage of the situation and pretended to forgive her for her "young and frivolous" appearance, and never targeted her again on the surface, which disappointed some people who wanted to watch the fun.Of the two of them, one is a noble and famous princess, and the other is an upstart in the imperial court. If they really meet, there will definitely be a lot of fun.

What made Yun Xi quite amused was that Han Ruyi and Wu Yin became so-called boudoir friends.Yun Xi can only feel that these two people really flock together.

At the beginning of February, Chu Ling, who had "recovered", also ordered Yun Shen to be crowned as the prince's teacher.

Chu Ling still has feelings for Chu Tianzhan, the eldest son, and the teachers he finds for Chu Tianzhan are all great Confucianists with both talents and virtues.Among them, Yun Shen is the youngest one, but during these years in the capital, Yun Shen has also conducted literary discussions with those great Confucians, and he is famous for his brilliant talent.Therefore, everyone has nothing to criticize for his role as the prince's teacher.

Looking at the lineup of the gentlemen who taught Chu Tianzhan, everyone knows that the prince's position is very stable. In addition, the second prince has always been weak and has no chance of being a great position. The third prince is the prince's direct brother, and the fourth prince is still young. There was no issue of standing.

To Yun Xi's surprise, at the end of February, Su Wan secretly sent another message, saying that Chu Ling intends to give the concubine in the harem a favor, so that the concubine can have a chance to visit her relatives and go home once a year.

As the saying goes, once entering the palace, the gate is as deep as the sea. For the vast majority of concubines, once they enter the palace, at most they can only meet with their family members, Qin An. If they are favored concubines, they can often receive this grace.If you visit your relatives, it is the treatment that only the queen has.

Yun Xi couldn't help thinking of the concubine Yuan's visiting relatives in the Dream of the Red Chamber, and her expression became weird.Will these concubines really be allowed to build yards to receive the concubines at that time?
If so, it would be interesting.

Soon, the eyeliner in the palace spread the news that the idea of ​​the imperial concubine visiting relatives was the idea of ​​Wu Yu, the concubine Xi, to Chu Ling.Chu Ling was no better than Chu Xiyuan. He used to have the income from the ice factory as a small treasury, so he was not short of money.After Chu Xiyuan passed away, the ice factory was turned into a public house.

This means that the profits from the two daily incomes of the Ice Factory and Liuli Factory will be used in the treasury, which leads to the embarrassment of Chu Ling, who has just ascended the throne, facing a lack of money.With his temperament, he would absolutely not be able to collect money from the treasury, so naturally he had to find a source of income.

Not to mention that in order to better control everyone, Chu Ling trained a lot of secret guards, which in itself is a lot of money, and there is no way to get it to the public.Saving money is not as good as increasing money, but Chu Ling is good at handling political affairs, but she is really blind when it comes to making money.Wu Yu figured out what he wanted, and when he knew that Chu Ling was short of money, he gave him an idea to visit his relatives.

In terms of visiting relatives, the natal families of those concubines can't just receive the concubines casually, at least they have to build an exquisite and beautiful garden.For those officials and aristocrats, face is more important than anything else. If you provoke them a little, they will compare with each other, unwilling to lose to others, and build the garden beautifully and luxuriously.

Building a yard requires a lot of wood and stone, and if many people build it at that time, it will definitely lead to an increase in the price of some high-end stone.Chu Ling only needs to prepare these in advance, and she is not afraid of earning a lot of money, at least she can take this opportunity to earn a million taels.On the other hand, you can also look at which families are rich, and how much you can spy out the corruption and bribery of these families, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After Yun Xi knew what Wu Yu was thinking, she had to admit that she really had some business sense, and it would be a pity for her talent to be a concubine in the harem.But after thinking about it, everyone has their own ambitions, and Wu Yu is a typical example of not wanting to be lost in the crowd, with ambitions in his heart.

Yun Xi could more or less guess what she was thinking, she planned to be Chu Ling's interpreter, to advise him, to become the most important person in his heart, and then to defeat the queen, be inferior to one person, and surpass ten thousand people.

It's just that Wu Yu miscalculated Chu Ling's temperament. Chu Ling himself doesn't like women who are too talented.In the past, Yang Yeqing managed his back house in an orderly manner, so that he would have no worries, but what he got in return was Chu Ling's vigilance.His favorite concubine, You Shi, has a gentle and submissive temperament on the surface and can act like a baby. She is usually a shopkeeper who throws her hands away, and basically does not touch the palace power.

When Wu Yu loses value, Chu Ling will definitely take her as an abandoned child without hesitation.

Yun Xi and Wu Yu have no friendship, and even because Wu Yin still has hatred, she will not be stupid enough to remind her of this matter.But about visiting relatives, she reminded Su Wan and Yang Yeqing, lest they accidentally fall into the pit.

On the other hand, Yun Xi also signaled Lai San to buy some wood and stone.If you wait for the decree to be issued before purchasing, it will be too late. It is better to prepare first, and you can make a fortune by then. Money is never too much.

Lai San has traveled all over the years, and he really knows a lot of people in this field.In addition, Yun Xi also had experience in building gardens, so he quickly purchased building materials with a cost of at least 30.

After these things were transported to the capital, Chu Ling really gave her the grace of visiting her relatives.Many families with concubines in the palace were all beaming with joy, thinking that this was a great honor.Because of this incident, the capital became lively all of a sudden.

The common people even bet one after another to see which one built the best garden.Perhaps it was because of hints that Yang Yeqing and Su Wan's natal families did not make a lot of construction work like other families, but only slightly trimmed the original garden.

What's funny is that Concubine De's mother's family, Su's family, also split up because of family visits.

Perhaps it was to win over the Su family. The sisters of the Su family, Su Yue and Su Yuan, were very favored, especially Su Yuan. under.

There were two empresses in the third room, and they immediately had the confidence to challenge the big room, and they were no longer headed by the big room as before.This time the two empresses were visiting relatives, and Sanfang even expressed that they would take 50 taels of silver from the public to build a garden to welcome the empress, saying that their Su family had a queen mother and a noble concubine, and they were the best in the capital. How could they lose to others? People, let people see the joke.

The people in the big house got the hint from Concubine De, how could they not know the inside story of visiting relatives, how could they spend so much money for nothing, and even caught Chu Ling's eyes because of this, so they naturally refused.Their reasons are also ready-made, the empress and empress did not act extravagantly, so is it possible that they still have to surpass the queen?

The people in the other houses supported them by driving the hot stove in the third room, and some stood by the patriarch's house.Da Fang watched San Fang continue to be arrogant, and he would die sooner or later. Moreover, San Fang obviously did not listen to their words, instead thinking that they were unwilling to help because of jealousy. You moths can't get involved with them either.

Originally, it was not that easy to separate the family, until Wu Weizi gave his brother an idea.So the old and sophisticated head of the Su family sent someone to Sanfang to beat the side drum, expressing that Chu Ling was somewhat jealous of the power of the Su family, and even though he liked the sisters very much, he didn't dare to spoil them too much.Sanfang heard that the Su family's brand would not bring them any benefits, but would actually drag them down, so they decided to separate.

Yun Xi was speechless when she found out about it. With Sanfang's IQ, it's no wonder that she could cultivate someone like Su Yuan who relied on betraying her family to gain favor.

It's fine if the Su family splits up, Yun Xi will take it as a joke at most, but they absolutely shouldn't, but they put their ideas on Yun Xi's head.
