Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 176 Who Instructed
"My mother is a female embroiderer." After a long time, Chu Yun picked up the embroidery painting again and began to shuttle back and forth, "I started learning embroidery from her when I was five years old, and until ten years after her death, when I was 15 years old, I was kissed by myself." Father sent him to the palace and entered the embroidery workshop in the palace. I knew that I would never leave the palace for the rest of my life."

As soon as you enter the palace, it's as deep as the sea, not just the concubines, but also those white-headed palace ladies, everyone can write a story.

But when Chu Yun talked about this now, there was only calm on his face, like a dead lake, without any ripples.

Chu Yun put down the embroidery painting at this time, and paused, "Later, I thought, it's not that I can live a peaceful life because I want to live a peaceful life. The battle in the palace has never stopped. Lin Xiu was afraid that I would stand out and take my embroidery It's all her own, but that's all right, as long as she doesn't come to trouble me."

Lin Xiu, Kong Linglong rejected the name.

Chu Yan smiled: "At that time, she was not Lin Shanggong."

As long as there is jealousy among women, a young and talented woman like Chu Yun might have become Lin Xiu's thorn in the side.

Chu Yun said: "That year the palace celebrated the queen's birthday, and the embroidery workshop was responsible for presenting a piece of embroidery for the queen to make new ideas. Lin Xiu volunteered to donate several batches of embroidery paintings, but the queen was not satisfied. She felt resentful, Just let me embroider one for her."

Such an incompetent and domineering woman, Kong Linglong almost effortlessly outlined the face of Lin Shanggong from Chu Yun's words.Those who can climb up to the position of Shang Gong in the palace are indeed not good men and women.

However, Kong Linglong remained calm, she felt that this was not the reason why Lin Shanggong and Chu Yun really turned against each other.

Sure enough, Chu Yun smiled: "She wants to please the queen, and it has nothing to do with me. Every day I spend in the embroidery workshop is no different from being in jail. I gave her an embroidery horse according to her wish, and she took After going to present it to the queen, this time, the queen rewarded her with a lot of gold seals."

What Kong Linglong saw from Chu Yun's eyes was that after she entered the palace, she was more sad than heartbroken, and Chu Yun didn't care about whether she could succeed in the embroidery workshop.As for Lin Shanggong, with Chu Yun embroidering her back, she must be doing well in the embroidery workshop, and Chu Yun has no heart to compete with her. It stands to reason that Lin Shanggong, who is smart, should sit back and relax. .

But Kong Linglong said softly at this time: "The ones who steal are always stolen, this time they are dedicated to the queen. Once the slightest reveal is made, Lin Shanggong will die."

If you want to take the road of wealth and honor, you have to dare to ask for it. It seems that Lin Shanggong has achieved this. Later, Chu Yun escaped from the palace, it must be her trick behind the scenes.

Hearing Kong Linglong's words, Chu Yun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled self-consciously: "Is it? Even you can figure it out. It seems that Lin Xiu thought so at the beginning."

Kong Linglong looked at her face immersed in sadness, and finally asked the question that came out of her chest from the palace: "Chuxiu Niang, you were 15 years old when you entered the palace, were you already outside the palace at that time?" Have... someone who can talk about marriage?"

The folk daughter is 15 years old and Ji, and in earlier times, marriages were arranged early.

Kong Linglong could still remember that Lin Shanggong had framed Chu Yun for the crime, fled the court and eloped with wild men.

It can be seen that even if Lin Shanggong stole Chu Yun's embroidery art, Chu Yun's character is not to the point of hating her to the bone, and even he can't say whether he hates her or not.What Lin Shanggong did was definitely more than simply stealing other people's embroidery paintings.

Chu Yun was still holding the needle in his hand, and it pierced straight into her fingertips, making her fingers tremble even more.

Kong Linglong subconsciously wanted to step forward, but she soon realized that the needle was intentionally stabbed by Chu Yun.

"Brother Chu..." Chu Yun said with a trembling voice, "At that time, I had been in the palace for five years. Brother Chu said he would wait for me, but when he was about to let go of everything and remarry, he was caught by Lin Xiu. Send someone to kill him."

Kong Linglong remained silent for a while, murder?Lin Shanggong actually got a human life on his hands?
Chu Yun's tears fell: "I have already told her that I will not compete with her for the position of the Shang Palace. I stay in the embroidery workshop and can embroider for her all the time. I don't care if she steals my name. But she is so vicious, she won't even let the innocent Third Brother Chu go!"

After five years in the palace, the connection with the outside of the palace was also severed for five years, but that Lin Shanggong unexpectedly found the man who had a marriage contract with Chu Yun, and directly killed him.

It's nothing more than entering the palace in darkness, even the only thought in my heart is cut off, this is something no woman can bear.

Kong Linglong didn't want to listen anymore. There are many people in this world who have sin on their hands, but those who are as sinful as Lin Shanggong are inhumane.

Facing Kong Linglong who was about to walk out of the gate of the embroidery workshop, Chu Yun suddenly said softly, "Miss Kong, thank you. After all these years, I really... want her to die very much."

The last four words are insignificant, but the hatred and joy in them are like poisonous snakes in the air.

If a kind woman can be forced to such a state, Lin Shanggong will not be able to rest in peace.

Kong Linglong quietly turned around from the door, and met Lin Shanggong in the shadows: "Do you still remember the embroidery horse dedicated to the queen? The queen will soon know who Li Daitao was. She will not only die, And die terribly."

It can't make up for Chu Yun's sufferings in the past few years, but it is enough to let Lin Shanggong know that the wealth and honor she enjoys has turned into a knife to find her now.

Kong Linglong left the embroidery workshop and returned to the silk and satin workshop. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a smiling man dressed as an eunuch standing there waiting.

She was stunned for a moment, and Yu'er hurried over: "Miss, these are people sent by the imperial concubine, and they said they are waiting for you to come back to receive the reward."

Kong Linglong's eyes slowly shifted to the eunuch, and the eunuch put on a smirk, and said: "Our family is ordered by the imperial concubine to deliver some things to Miss Kong's silk and satin shop. I just said that the young lady is out, so our family will send you something." We had to wait here."

Kong Linglong quickly put away any revealing emotions, and smiled slightly at the eunuch: "I never expected to be someone from the imperial concubine. How can my small shop be worthy of the reward from the imperial concubine? I'm really terrified."

The eunuch smiled and said: "Miss Kong is modest, and the empress said that Miss Kong is really capable of running such a large silk and satin shop at a young age. Because of some misunderstandings at the flower banquet, the empress is worried. Miss Kong was wronged, and she asked our family to come and have a look, and the empress said, if Miss Kong has any requests, don't forget to tell the empress."

Kong Linglong immediately showed a nervous look: "How can this be done? It's thanks to my mother for being able to go to the flower banquet. There is no such thing as a grievance. As for the reward, I absolutely dare not accept it."

The eunuch squinted his eyes and smiled: "Since the empress has rewarded you, Miss Kong, don't refuse. Come, bring the reward!"

The two accompanying maids immediately came up with a tray. On the tray were several bolts of precious cloud brocade and two plates of yellow gold.

The eunuch looked at Kong Linglong's face and smiled leisurely: "The embroidery that Miss Kong sent to the palace is of high quality. Half of these rewards are due to the young lady, and half are added by the imperial concubine herself. The young lady must not disappoint her heart."

Kong Linglong quickly understood such a hint, and she continued to show a flattered smile: "Naturally, in the future, if the empress has any orders, no matter what, the women will do their best to serve the empress."

The eunuch seemed to be wearing a smiley mask: "That's good."

Kong Linglong immediately said: "Your father-in-law has worked so hard from a long distance, Yu'er, do you have some tea and snacks for your father-in-law?"

While looking at Yu'er, Yu'er immediately reacted and stepped forward: "The servants are all ready, the lady was not there just now, the servants have already made the best Biluochun for the father-in-law, and the most exquisite ones from Judezhuang. dessert!"

Speaking of which, Yu'er also took out a package that had been wrapped long ago from her sleeve, and handed it to the eunuch: "It's not easy to run errands in this hot day, please accept it with a smile!"

The burden looked huge at first glance, and the eunuch weighed it in his hand, and it was even heavier.

The eunuch's eyebrows stretched out: "It's nothing, after all, Miss Kong is someone your empress likes. After Miss Kong is appreciated, our family will still have to rely on three points!"

Kong Linglong smiled and sent the eunuch to the door together.As for what he said, of course, just treat it as air.

As soon as the people in the palace left, Kong Linglong stopped laughing, and Yu'er curled her lips. Seeing the smoking tea on the table, she muttered in a low voice, "It's a waste of our few taels of good tea."

Kong Linglong turned around and looked at those rewards, no matter whether it was gold or cloth, they all carried the unique marks of the palace, and they could not be circulated outside the palace at all, this reward is really worse than nothing.

Yu'er caressed her chest, walked into the private room with Kong Linglong, saw that the door was closed, and dared to say: "Young Master Suye said that this imperial concubine will comfort us, is this comfort?"

The way the nobles in the palace comforted her was really different.

Kong Linglong took a sip of the red plum tea, and said calmly: "They just think that it is already a great gift to mention the title of imperial concubine."

Yu'er hesitated for a moment, and asked with some embarrassment: "Then, should we tell Mr. Suye?"

Kong Linglong paused: "Yes."

-

When Suye came back, he sent someone to investigate the relationship between the Governor's Mansion and Concubine Liang. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes at the flower banquet, he wouldn't have known that the concubine in the palace who had been favored for so many years would actually be the backer of a second-rank military general.

Hua Hongxiao was no longer simply against Kong Linglong, but had a face that wished that Kong Linglong and the Kong family would disappear completely.

Is it too unsightly to use the noble concubine to suppress a merchant?
Luo Congrong walked over from the outside at this time, saw his young master frowning, thought for a while, and said intentionally: "Miss Kong sent a message."

Sure enough, Suye recovered from his contemplation, and immediately looked at Luo Congrong: "Xin? Where is it?"

Luo calmly said: "It's a message, only one sentence."

Su Ye paused, and said, "Say."

Luo calmly repeated what he had just heard: "Miss Kong told the young master that Lin Shanggong deserved to die."

This message was unexpectedly simple and rude, but Suye unexpectedly remembered Kong Linglong's expression and tone when he said this, and couldn't help laughing.

Looking at his young master's appearance, Luo Congrong has reached the point where he can send a message, and he doesn't know how to develop in the future.

After Hua Hongxiao came back from the palace, she went to find her mother, Mrs. Bai, almost immediately. When she heard what happened at the flower banquet, Mrs. Bai's face changed drastically.

At this time, no matter how panicked Hua Hongxiao was, it was of no avail. She could only pin her hopes on her mother, Mrs. Bai.

But Mrs. Bai went to the palace the next day to ask to see Concubine Liang, but was blocked by the people in Concubine Liang's palace, saying that Concubine Liang was unwell and unable to get up.

Hua Hongxiao sat in the tent and waited anxiously. When she heard that her mother hadn't seen the imperial concubine, her face turned pale.

"It's all the fault of Duanyang Ling. She always wanted to harm me, and now she finally got her wish!"

Mrs. Bai is obviously not as naive as she is, and she glared fiercely: "Duanyang Ling has been at odds with you for a long time, why wait until now to harm you? Do you have any brains?!"

Not to mention the practice of Duan Yangling at the flower banquet, even Mrs. Bai felt that it was unreasonable.

Hua Hongxiao burst into tears: "Mother, who else hates me so much, who else framed me like this besides her!"

The current Hua Hongxiao doesn't think that someone did this for Kong Linglong at all. Duanyang Linghui suddenly stood up to help the female embroiderer and Kong Linglong. It must be to fight against herself. The real purpose is just to take the opportunity to step on her kick.

Mrs. Bai said: "Tell me everything that happened at the banquet, especially the timing when Duanyang Ling appeared!"

Hua Hongxiao didn't dare to hide it, she said everything, seeing Mrs. Bai's expression became more and more elongated.

Mrs. Bai almost gritted her teeth: "Although Duanyang Ling is the daughter of the four major families, she has always been stupid. She forced you step by step at the flower banquet, and even ignored your provocation. This kind of city is hers. Do you have Duanyang spirit?"

Hua Hongxiao seemed to be completely dazed, she hadn't come out of the shadow of Hua Yan's humiliation.

Looking at her like this, Mrs. Bai hated iron for being weak: "It's a pity that you are as stupid as that Duan Yangling. You don't know how much she weighs until now when you fight with her, and you fell for someone else without knowing it." set!"

Hua Hongxiao's face turned pale when she was scolded, and she couldn't refute at all.For so long, she has been suppressing Duanyang Ling, and she has been very proud of making the daughters of the four major families unable to succeed under her hands.

But I didn't expect Duanyang Ling to turn around with the help of the flower feast.

Mrs. Bai's face was gloomy: "There must be someone behind her, you think about it for me, is there anyone else at the flower banquet that you ignored?"

Mrs. Bai was pressing this question just now, but Hua Hongxiao was about to collapse, "Mother, you also said that Duanyang Ling is the first daughter of the four major families, and she has such a domineering temper, how could anyone order her?"

Having said this, Hua Hongxiao's face changed drastically, as if struck by lightning.

Madam Bai immediately asked back: "What's wrong? What did you think of?"

Disbelief flashed across Hua Hongxiao's face, and she even stumbled and said with difficulty: "Then, this time the flower banquet, and also, Prince Yun from the Huaiyang Palace also went..."

A gleam appeared in Madam Bai's eyes.
