In the Yangxin Hall, Feng Wuyan was playing with the ink pen in his hand, a misty smile in his peach blossom eyes. It was obviously a smile, but it was colder than the cold winter outside the window.
"nature."
Shen Mian nodded.
"Yesterday's incident was caused by King Huasu's debauchery, but in the end it hurt the face of the Kao family. Although they couldn't take the life of the noble concubine, they had many ways to disgust her. Not to mention, they still eat people here without spitting out their bones. In the harem."
Take the example of reducing expenses and not burning the earth dragon. Besides Xiao Xiruo, who else will suffer the most?
Isn't the person who is most afraid of the cold in this palace the lady who is dying soon?
However, the ingenuity of the Queen Mother's edict, both in southern Xinjiang and in the whole palace, really took up all the high-sounding reasons.
"They couldn't see her swallowing so much money. They wanted her to spit it out."
Feng Wuyan threw the ink pen aside, and his crow-feather-like eyelashes drooped, covering those deep amber pools.
Shen Mian: "As for Concubine Xiao's picky... well, thrifty temperament, I'm afraid they won't be able to succeed."
"Not necessarily," Feng Wuyan sneered: "The old woman wishes she would not give her money, but give her something that the Hua family cares about. Keep watching, they will definitely make big moves in the past few days."
"yes."
Shen Mian nodded and changed the topic to another place.
"Master, the imperial concubine met the female owl half an hour ago."
After hearing this, Feng Wuyan paused for a moment and raised his eyes to indicate for him to continue.
Nowadays, Xiao Xiruo's displeasure with the Kao family over a female owl has spread throughout the capital. Therefore, all parties are speculating on how Xiao Xiruo will deal with this girl.
For sale?
reward?
Beat to death?
Or keep it?
"Of course I'll keep it."
In Changle Palace, Xiao Xiruo warmed her hands and said to Xue Xue who asked:
"So what about the female owl? Isn't the female owl a human being? She is just a weak woman. How can she pass through the Northern Yi in the capital? Besides, what information can I have in the palace..."
Listening to the series of truths told by my silly empress, Xingxue and others couldn't laugh or cry.
Today, I learned that the Queen Mother asked the concubines to reduce expenses, and the Sixteen Snows immediately became angry.
It's easy to talk about it in other palaces, but what's the situation with their empress?
I was already weak and cold, my hands and feet were cold, and now that the earth dragon has been reduced and the carbon has been reduced, wouldn't it make things worse?
However, in the face of their anger and unwillingness, their empress just smiled, with no hint of displeasure on her eyebrows.
Not only that, she also asked Xi Yang to truthfully and embellishedly convey her carefree expression to the Queen Mother. Her nonchalant attitude could be called provocation.
According to Xi Yang, when the empress went to Shoukang Palace this morning, she also asked him to tell Jiayue his actions yesterday in an exaggerated and indignant manner.
Very annoying, but extremely cute.
No, rumors began to spread in the palace that their empress had brought back a "female owl". Not only was she unlucky, but she was also suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason...
"These women in the palace are free. As long as they spend more time on our emperor, the emperor will hate them more. Dislike is also a kind of power. Why don't you know how to cherish it?"
"Did she really say that?"
In the Yangxin Hall, Feng Wuyan twitched the corner of his mouth and was laughed out of anger by Xiao Xiruo again.
This little sick guy can do it, he has many tricks.
"Isn't that right? The imperial concubine said that Bai Zhi will live in Changle Palace from now on, and she will be treated the same as ordinary palace residents. She will do whatever she wants. If anyone in Changle Palace dares to talk about her being a female owl, Liu Xue will slap them. "
Shen Mian narrated vividly, and from time to time she would scream and pinch her waist, which made Feng Wuyan feel chills.
He didn't expect that Xiao Xiruo would treat the "owl" like this.
Logically speaking, shouldn't a queen like her hate these duplicitous beasts who collaborate with the enemy and treason?
＊
In the next two days, Xiao Xiruo lived quite peacefully.
With the huge amount of negative emotions earned by Mingfeng Tower that night, she was able to stay in lockdown and devote all her time to rectifying the Xiao family's property.
The first is the large farm outside the East City Gate.
Since the eastern part of the city was poor and the environment was poor, the late emperor was not stingy when he rewarded the land. She glanced at the map and saw that it was almost as good as the last university town.
With such a large area of land and her super seeds, she felt that feeding the Xiao family's cavalry should not be a problem in the future.
"They are all shabby thatched houses with no one to live in, so they have to be rebuilt. The area in the middle is used for breeding, and both sides are developed into farmland. At that time, the soil will be fertilized with excrement and recycled. There is also this pond. !Don’t raise flowers and grass, raise fish for me! They are not ornamental fish, they are big fat fish that can be eaten! Do you understand?”
The farm stewards knelt down tremblingly, not even daring to breathe a sigh of relief.
Wasn’t this empress frail and raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child?
How can he be more down-to-earth than these old guys?
"The affairs assigned by me must be completed before the beginning of spring. If it affects my planting, you all will get out of here. Do you understand?"
Smashing the map in front of them, Xiao Xiruo immediately called for the next team.
The Xiao family does not have many properties, and the silk and satin shop has complicated craftsmanship, which is really not suitable for a big boss like the Xiao family. The weird colors, the ugly clothes...
Xiao Xiruo can only say that straight male aesthetics are unacceptable.
"So let's give up women's clothing and let's make men's clothing. Let's become handsome and unrestrained? Do you understand?"
The two shopkeepers of the silk and satin shop: "Understood!"
The tea shop is run on a small budget. Apart from the usual crude tea and refreshments, it probably only has a few not-so-good features that are more shabby than others.
So Xiao Xiruo waved her hand: "Sell it."
The tea shop owners wanted to cry but had no tears.
But when Xiao Xiruo mentioned the combination of book shop, tea shop and restaurant, and circled an area centered on his two restaurants, the shopkeepers stopped crying.
"Listening to songs and listening to music is the joy of life. The bookstore collects poems, paintings and novels, and then let our storytellers stop in restaurants and teahouses. Not only can we tell stories, but there are different performances every day, and even flower appreciation and wine tasting. , Dou Shi..."
Xiao Xiruo listed his ideas one by one and assigned specific tasks to each shopkeeper.
The restaurant that the Wang family gave her as a gift was right next door to her own house, so what were she waiting for? Just get through and take over the two inns next to it.
Wouldn’t it be nice to add a restaurant and an inn and directly upgrade it to a literary hotel?
At ten o'clock in the evening, all the shopkeepers walked out of the imperial city with cheerful faces.
The next day, the Xiao family industry collectively closed down for rectification, and the dead soldiers from Xiliuying directly settled in the new store and became shop assistants and waiters. Some even secretly became apprentices and learned side jobs such as storytelling, singing and opera.
Under such huge expenses, Xiao Xiruo's newly received compensation of 200,000 taels was squandered.
On this day, three major events happened in succession in the palace.
First, Concubine Xie De accidentally fell into the water in Xie Rui River and developed a high fever that night.
Secondly, Li Xianfei Li Shuyue's mother was seriously ill, and Queen Mother Hua allowed her to go home for a few days.
Thirdly, the Queen held a plum blossom appreciation banquet with flowers and kites, and invited the concubines to wear colorful clothes and go to the imperial garden the next day.
No, all the posts were handed to her, Xiao Xiruo. This chapter has been completed!
