Princess Fuyao

Chapter 197 True Injustice
Fuyao has just calculated the production and sales of each saltworks. Strangely, the production of Zhongyuan Saltworks has plummeted, but other saltworks have not increased. In the past, the consumption of salt in several provinces covered by Zhongyuan Saltworks has been greatly reduced.

It was really strange, but Fuyao couldn't explain why it was so on the books.

Zhao Bixuan returned the account book to Fuyao without asking any further questions.

Time flies, more than a month has passed, Fuyao has sorted out all the accounts, and before they have time to hand them over, the emperor's thunderous wrath has already overturned the court - the officials of the salt administration in several provinces in the Central Plains have all been ransacked and detained.

On this day, on the way home from the Yamen, Fuyao found an anonymous letter in the carriage, warning her to think more about the consequences when she speaks and does things.

She is so wronged, so wronged, so helpless!
Encountering such a thing, Fuyao could only look at the sky and sigh, she was an accountant, and she didn't hand in the account books, so what did all this have to do with her?
The emperor's thunderous anger this time caused a great shock in the court. At the beginning, it was only the officials of the Yan government who were implicated. As these people were escorted to Beijing one after another and handed over to Dali Temple for trial, some officials in the court were arrested. Tired, the decree of ransacking the house will be sent out in a few days.

The account books about the Salt Administration have been cleaned up, the emperor has not given any new tasks, and Fuyao is not a member of the household department, so he doesn't even know where to go to work, so he has to be unemployed again.

It wasn't that the emperor forgot about her, but that he was ill. During the two consecutive court meetings, he only met with his courtiers, and left the court without saying anything.

Fortunately, the chief assistant, Yang Chenguo, was shrewd and willing to work, and he was experienced in seeking the country. He led the cabinet, controlled the subordinate ministers, and helped deal with the important affairs of the court, so there was no chaos in the Yong Dynasty.

On this day, Zhao Ming sent an invitation to Fuyao, and her youngest son Zhuo Zhou invited Fuyao to watch the ceremony.

In the past three or four years, Fuyao's social circle has shrunk sharply. First, she dared not deal with people, lest she be labeled as a clique. Only Zhao Ming's home, far away from the power center of Xiaoyao Wangfu, Fuyao dared to often step on her. step on.

Zhao Ming's children's blessings are still very profound. Although she was the first daughter, she gave birth to a son three years later, followed by a daughter and a son. The standard "peanut" life made the queen mother very satisfied , One month before the old man passed away, he ordered Zhao Ming to bring his children into the palace and have lunch with her. The old lady had a very small appetite at that time, so she watched her nephew and grandson eating with a smile during the whole meal, and then rewarded Zhao Ming several times. The gift of the car, this matter spread among the noble family of Beijing Zhongxun, and I don't know how many people are envious.

Two years after the queen mother passed away, Zhao Ming gave birth to the third son. Even without the queen mother and the support of Prince Cheng's mansion, they still lived peacefully and peacefully.

When a woman is married, the innocence of being a girl is quickly replaced by firewood, rice, oil and salt. When chatting, she also keeps her husband and children in three sentences. No matter how shallow or deep, women will inevitably compare themselves. There is no time for peace and warmth.

Fortunately, Zhao Ming has always kept a low profile and never showed off. There are quite a few noble ladies in Beijing who are willing to associate with her. In the past few years, the friends of noble ladies from various families have decreased sharply. Only her has a tendency to increase.

Fuyao originally planned to go early so that he could gossip with Zhao Ming, but who knows, when he passed Yumen Street, he ran into a funeral attendant, so he had no choice but to turn the car around and change to a different road, and was blocked by a married man for half an hour. It's the end of the hour in the British Palace.

Zhao Ming personally greeted her at the second gate. She is now a well-behaved, calm and sophisticated wealthy lady, and she can't find the frail and shy shadow of her past. She is holding Fuyao's hand and whispering slightly. Complaining: "A few days ago, I was looking forward to having a good chat with you, but I can't see through my eyes, and you are so late."

"Why don't I want to arrive earlier!" Fuyao vomited bitterly, and at the end, he exaggeratedly supported his head, "I'm going around the capital soon, the carriage jolts me so dizzy, will Princess Ying help me to hire an imperial doctor?"

"Damn! You rode on the road for two days and two nights without getting dizzy, and after sitting in the carriage for an hour, you actually yelled and shouted. Think of me as an idiot!"

The wife of Cheng Wang's youngest son, the wife of the deputy commander of the garrison of the capital, is Yang Mingxia, one of the four famous ladies of the year, and the sister-in-law of Zhao Ming's family. King Zhongren, how could Master Fu run so fast, in such a hurry, and so desperately?"

She specifically mentioned Fuyao's title in her boudoir just to increase the intensity of the teasing. Seeing Fuyao's big eyes staring at them fiercely, the sister-in-law covered her mouth and smiled.

Zhao Ming has always disliked socializing, and Fuyao thought that there would not be many guests to invite, but when he arrived at the garden, he realized that he had made a big mistake.

Ladies don’t dare to drop in at random now, it’s so easy to have such a good source as Zhao Ming, plus it’s the golden autumn and October, when chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the garden of the Prince’s Mansion is famous for its exquisiteness in Beijing, many people give it to him in advance. Little Zheng Zhenlin sent a gift just to get an invitation from Zhao Ming so that he could relax.

Most of Zhao Ming's friends are about the same age as Fuyao, and the oldest child is less than ten years old. Naturally, the most important part of the party is missing-blind date. Some of the ladies who come here are purely for friendship, and some Nature has ulterior motives.

This kind of person can't be avoided wherever he goes, and it's no surprise that Fuyao falls down.

"Ah, Master Fu County, why don't you see the wife of the deputy governor of the Water Transport?" Yan Fengying, who was dispatched by the emperor to the western border, did not expect to marry a local wealthy family. At the beginning of its establishment, the national power was lacking, and the emperor was forced to fight with his back, hoping very much for a quick victory.It's a pity that after the victory in the first battle, the enemy retreated into the city, intending to fight a war of attrition with the expeditionary army.At that time, Huang Jingyuan's ancestor was still a landowner, but the head of the family was very far-sighted. He not only took out the tens of thousands of grains stored in the family, but also asked the most capable eldest son to lead the way for the emperor, copying trails and attacking the enemy's back. That battle severely damaged the enemy. , the Huhuer tribe in the west who threatened the Great Yong Dynasty the most, had to submit a surrender form and profess their vassals to Dayong. The great-grandfather emperor finally secured the supreme throne.

The Huang family was granted the title of Marquis of Loyalty, and the eldest son's family moved to the capital with the emperor. The rest of the people were going to move out one after another after the capital was stabilized.

Things changed at this time, the people who moved in from the Huang family didn't know whether they were not acclimatized or what. Huang Li, who had made great achievements in the world, became seriously ill. Soon his son was also infected, and the best imperial doctor sent by the emperor was unable to return. One day, the Huang family moved back to Xijiang in a hurry. Later, Dafang and his son died, and the second family inherited the title, but they never moved to the capital again.

In the previous generations, the Zhongjunhou's wife was given marriage by the royal family, but the head of the previous generation didn't know how to lose his head, and even gave money to support Emperor Jiaming's opponent. Now, the emperor deliberately neglected, and the Huang family no longer had the grand occasion of the past. .

Yan Bingran's going to Xijiang was obviously not a crime. In addition, the position of imperial concubine was not deprived, and the marriage with the Huang family was considered a good match. Yan Fengying actually married Huang Sihai, the second son of Lord Hou. Next, Huang Sihai came to the capital, and now he is looking for an official position.

It's a pity that the imperial concubine's strength has been greatly reduced. Yan Fengying's big words in her husband's house are a bit exposed here. The two of them spent half a year, but still made no progress.The Yan family almost took their own life back then, no matter how generous Fuyao was, he still had the will to laugh without seeing his enemy.

Seeing that Fuyao turned her face away as if she hadn't heard, and whispered to Zhao Ming, Yan Fengying hated her deeply, but she didn't dare to show it. She also wanted to beg Hao Ruomei to put Huang Sihai in the Water Transport Yamen in Guo Bin. There were rumors outside, Hao Ruomei and Ji Fuyao, sisters-in-law, are as good as real sisters, if Ji Fuyao offends her today, her way of life will be cut off completely.

In fact, Hao Ruomei listened to Guo Bin very much, and Guo Bin paid special attention to the feelings of his brother and sister-in-law, so it would be polite not to step on Zhao Sihai.

Zhao Sihai, a stunned young man, has the boldness and open-mindedness of a Xijiang native, and he is also a more down-to-earth person, making it impossible for him to kill him. Otherwise, Yan Fengying would have gotten out of the capital long ago.

Not to mention others, Chang Yajun was the first to have trouble with her.

Chang Yajun also fulfilled her wish and married Prince Qin as a sequel. Her husband is 20 years older than her, but he is a first-class noble, the most honorable among the female relatives who came today.

This is what Chang Yajun fought for. After Zhao Ming got engaged, Mrs. Chang heard about her daughter's seduction of Zheng Zaixian, and she was so angry that she locked her up at home. It's not out of the ordinary, men and women who are not engaged, would have given a purse or a fan pendant, but she was unlucky, this Zheng Zaixian is irresponsible, and he promised himself on the front foot, and got engaged to someone else on the back foot, which made her ashamed That's all.

"Your father is such a strong man. In the South China Sea, for a few clever fishermen's children, he did not hesitate to spend his own money for others to study, and he also wanted to earn face in front of the emperor. If you want to stand out, why don't you act like your aunt and sister?" In that way, relying on oneself to fight, but always thinking of some heresy?"

"What is heresy? Since ancient times, there has been a saying of 'marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat'. I don't want to start from the beginning. I just want to reach the sky and become a noble lady. Is there anything wrong? Whether it is an uncle's house or an uncle's house, They are all noble families, with their grace, I can obviously marry very well, why do you have to marry me to a poor Hanlin, my hair is all white, maybe I can wear the third-rank official uniform? ? This is still a good fate. There are so many great talents in the Imperial Academy, how many of them died in the fifth-rank position? I don’t want to be like this. Not even a chance to say a decent word!"

Mrs. Chang was so angry that she complained to Mrs. Guo.

"Since she wants it that way, we don't have to let her live like that." Mrs. Guo persuaded her sister-in-law, "Just ask about the situation of the honored family in the capital and let her choose. She won't complain when the time comes. we."
