Since the construction of the White Jade Building at the foot of the mountain was completed, Gao Pragmatic has rarely been to the main body of Jianxinzhai on the mountain.
Over the years, the scope of the "Jianxinzhai Courtyard" has become larger and larger, already hundreds of times larger than the Jianxinzhai given to him by the late Emperor Longqing. After all, the previous Jianxinzhai was just a courtyard.
They kept buying and exchanging land around them - some places had been bought by nobles, and since Gao Pragmatic wanted it, they were willing to do the exchange - so now Jianxinzhai has been mainly used as this super large villa.
The "title" is actually rarely used.
However, when Gao Pragmatic came here today, he was quite satisfied. The entire Jianxinzhai was well preserved, as if someone had been using it. Although there were traces of sweeping everywhere in the courtyard, it was just ordinary cleaning, which shows that these works
There is a dedicated person to look after him on weekdays, so Jian Xinzhai always looks ready to welcome him at any time.
Money is indeed money. Isn't it because Jian Xinzhai is in such a state because he is not short of money?
The only flaw is probably that there are very few young maids in Xinzhai, most of them are married slaves.
Gao Jingshi asked Gao Mo casually, and then he realized that this was actually his own idea: Gao Jingshi had requested to reduce the overall proportion of young maids in Jianxinzhai Villa, so that more young maids could marry the people they should marry.
Don't let him turn you into an old girl. Then you will have to marry someone with worse conditions.
This request was of course implemented, but the proportion of young maids in the White Jade Building where Gao Pragmatic lived was not reduced, while in other parts of Xiangshan Mountain, whether in the host area or the guest area, the number of young maids was greatly reduced.
This situation did not improve slightly until Huang Zhiting married into the Gao family. Because Huang Zhiting is from a chieftain family, all the maids and maids in the family have been real "slaves" for more than 600 years - I don't know how many generations of ancestors have had this status. Compared with the Ming and Han people,
The so-called "home-born" is even more powerful. These maids she married have been destined to have this day since they were born, so they immediately added nearly 300 girls in their teens to the Gao pragmatic courtyard. As for the
A similar number of young men also stayed here.
This is the case in a highly hierarchical society. These little girls enjoy treatment that is unusual in this era, and they also have a life trajectory that they must follow.
For their lives, the best outcome is to be favored by Gao Pragmatic. Regardless of whether they take the house or not, Huang Zhiting, as the mistress, will treat them better - because their slave contract will not change, so they
Being favored is equivalent to Huang Zhiting being favored. Huang Zhiting still has the power to deal with them as he pleases, so there will be no jealousy. This kind of rules or customs are common among chieftains.
It's a pity that Gao Pragmatic has not shown any interest in this until now, which has disappointed many girls who hoped to fly to the branches and become a phoenix.
Of course, there are benefits. At least Gao Pragmatic has clearly established a family rule that maids who are twenty years old and have not yet been taken in will be allowed to marry. Of course, the premise is "internal intermarriage" - this includes the Gao and Huang families.
Servants, servants, and later even extended to long-term employees of the entire Jinghua.
Don't underestimate the last one. The experience of working as a maid next to Gao Pingshi is not only not a stain for them, but a huge bonus. Because girls with poor conditions are unlikely to be selected to enter the core of Jinghua.
To meet those who work in the Shinzhai Courtyard, being able to see the Shinzhai Courtyard means that the girl is not only young and beautiful, but also has good conditions in all other aspects. Some of them have even read books, know some music, chess, calligraphy and painting, tea art and so on.
With a technical job, if you marry someone, you will be able to live in the living room and in the kitchen.
As for the chastity issue that people of this era are most worried about, it is actually not a problem. The truth is even simpler: no one will believe that a girl will be released to get married after being treated by a high-ranking official.
Is Taiwan’s face worth anything?
This truth is cruel, but also very realistic.
Therefore, the maids of the Jian Shinzhai Villa now have a new "function", which is to marry various outstanding servants of the Jinghua family, making the loyal ones even more loyal.
Gao Pingshi certainly didn't come to see Xinzhai out of boredom. He had two reasons: First, he returned to Jinggongfang where the number one scholar (now the Vice Minister's Mansion) was not far from the north gate of the palace, and there were too many officials coming and going.
Many people tried their best to meet Gao Wushi, but it was not convenient for Gao to meet them now, so they simply hid out of the capital and came to a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing to thank guests behind closed doors.
Secondly, he had to meet with Princess Yongning today. Not to mention that it was inconvenient for the Vice Minister's Mansion to receive her secretly. Even the White Jade Tower was a bit too inviting, so he could go directly to Xiangshan to be more hidden.
Liu Xin, who was newly appointed as Gao Jingshi's personal staff, did not come with him. Although Gao Jingshi specially invited him, Liu Xin refused the invitation because "as a new staff member, he needs to consult many documents and files" and stayed at the Baiyu Tower down the mountain.
After the last Zhang Jing incident, Princess Yongning's Changchun Palace was once again "taken care of" by Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju, and all the palace maids and eunuchs there were replaced by trustworthy people. With the restructuring of the Beijing camp, and Wang Zhizhen, Gao
With the improvement of Wuben's status among the Imperial Guards, the high pragmatism of the palace guards has also penetrated deeper.
If arranging people to enter the palace is still relatively sensitive and it is best not to try it lightly, then arranging one or two "palace maids" to leave the palace is simply too easy and will not be a problem at all.
Gao Jingzhi was waiting in the main building of Xinzhai. He also made some comments on the requests and reports sent from various ministries in Beijing. He didn't wait too long before a maid led Princess Yongning, who had changed into a common dress for ladies, to the door.
Come.
Princess Yongning is wearing a rouge red jacket and a grape purple jacket and skirt. The overall look is a bit calm. I don’t know whose idea it was. Of course, it may be that she wants to remind herself that she is a "widow" through her dress.
Come on, even among the people, there are many people who think she doesn't deserve it - after all, she never had a bridal chamber with Liang Bangrui, and secondly, it has been proven afterwards that the Liang family deliberately deceived the emperor and deserved their death.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, the more mainstream view among the people is still "a pity". After all, everyone knows that the Tian family wants to save face. When the matter has reached that point, since the emperor and the queen mother did not say much
, Princess Yongning herself is unwilling to remarry, so Her Highness the Princess can only bear the consequences of this matter.
Is it unfair? Of course, everyone in the world knows that it is unfair.
Should we regret the marriage or declare the marriage invalid? It's hard to say. Maybe most people still think that "it's reasonable to regret the marriage, but it's better not to regret it."
Etiquette and cannibalism are indeed traditional.
When Princess Yongning appeared at the door, Gao Jingshi had already stood up, walked quickly to the front, and bowed slightly: "I have met Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Gao Jingshi."
The happy look on Princess Yongning's face suddenly froze, she fell silent for a moment, forced a smile, and whispered: "Young Sima, there is no need to be polite."
Gao pragmatic glanced at Gao Mo and said to Princess Yongning with a calm expression: "Elder Princess, please take a seat."
Princess Yongning did not move, but Gao Mo moved quickly. At the same time, he waved and took out all the maids waiting at her side. The vigorous pace was definitely not what an old man of this age should be.
Gao Jingshi looked at Princess Yongning, and was about to ask her to sit down again. Unexpectedly, Princess Yongning suddenly pounced forward, and the baby bird threw herself into Gao Jingshi's arms like a swallow in the forest.
"How dare you lead only 30,000 people to fight against 150,000 to 150,000 Mongolians? I was so anxious in the palace that I didn't dare to sleep all night, for fear that I would suddenly get news that you... that something had happened to you. Do you know? You
Why...wuwu..."
After saying this in a hurry, Her Royal Highness the Princess could no longer speak. She buried her head in Gao Jingshi's arms, her body was trembling slightly, her hands tightly hugged Gao Jingshi's waist, and her two small hands were still holding Gao Jingshi's.
The clothes on the lower back seemed to be afraid that he would suddenly fly away.
"Your Highness..." Gao Pingshi didn't expect that today's meeting would start like this. Even though he had always been "a god at predicting things", he was a little at a loss for a moment. He didn't know whether he should follow the princess's wishes or not.
It would be better to hug her, or to stretch out your hands quickly to show that you did not take the opportunity to be indecent.
"I don't want you to call me Your Highness!" Princess Yongning's voice clearly contained a hint of resentment and anger, which made Gao Pragmatic smile bitterly.
"Miss Zhu..."
"That's not what it's called!"
Well, this time the meaning of coquettishness is even stronger.
"Well..." Gao Pingshi smiled dryly and said, "If I call you Yao, I'm afraid it would be a bit disrespectful."
"It's not like you've never been 'disrespectful' before, so what if you're disrespectful again?" Princess Yongning finally raised her head, looking slightly pouted, and looked directly into Gao Pragmatic's eyes with the courage she didn't know where she came from, and said:
"Last time in Baiyulou, you not only hugged me, but also kissed me. You even...even took off my shirt. How can you be disrespectful?"
Gao Pragmatic's eyes widened and he thought to himself: You can't blame me for what happened last time. It was you who brought aphrodisiac drugs with you. You were playing with fire. How can you blame me for being disrespectful?
"It's no use opening your eyes as wide as you can. You've already been disrespectful anyway...why don't you dare to do it this time?" Princess Yongning didn't know where her courage came from, but her shyness couldn't hide it after all. She said
Although he was "righteous" when he said these words, his cheeks had already turned red, and his delicate little face was as red as a fire.
While smelling the fragrance of her body at close range, Gao Pragmatic listened to her bold words and thought to himself: Damn it, this girl is bored in the palace every day. She probably doesn't bother to think about anything else except me.
I'm almost crazy. If I still reject her now, judging from the blow she has suffered before, I'm afraid the world will collapse, and something big might happen.
Gao Pingshi smiled bitterly and said: "Well, if the Fourth Princess is right, I will naturally dare to do it."
This time, Princess Yongning was really different from before. When Gao Pragmatic said this, she did not flinch or hesitate because of shyness. Instead, she immediately said: "Okay, I'm sure." Then she raised her little face and closed her eyes.
On the eyes.
Gao pragmatic originally wanted to recruit her into his army. After all, even the last time he was in Baiyu Tower, Princess Yongning even came with aphrodisiac drugs, but in fact she was also very shy when alone. Who knew that this time Princess Yongning would be like taking aphrodisiacs?
I was so brave that I actually dared to ask for a kiss!
According to Gao's pragmatic habit, when a person's mentality changes drastically, he must carefully think about the reasons, but it is definitely too late now...
Gao Jingshi took a deep breath and lowered his head. Just as he was about to take it back, who knew that Princess Yongning's hands that were originally holding his waist had moved to the back of his head, and at this time, she pressed him down with a strong force.
Live on your own lips.
This is not over yet. I wonder if Her Royal Highness has done any "homework" in advance this time.
Gao pragmatic was shocked, thinking, is this thing really self-taught?
He was in shock for a moment, so naturally he didn't "open the door", but Princess Yongning on the other side seemed to have made up her mind. Not only did she refuse to stop, but she also pressed harder, showing that she would not return the favor if she could not break Loulan.
Gao Pragmatic saw that the situation was not good, and said to herself that she was not going to do that bad thing here today. After talking to her later, she would go to see Liu Xin to discuss business. If Liu Xin saw something, she would
You and Huang Zhiting are like best friends. How will you explain it to Zhiting when the time comes?
Gao pragmatic quickly tilted his head back and said immediately: "Wait a minute, I have something to ask!"
Princess Yongning was in a state of emotion when she was suddenly interrupted by Gao Pingshi. She raised her little lips to Lao Gao in dissatisfaction, looked at him resentfully, and said reluctantly: "Can't you ask me again later?"
Damn it, wait a moment? If you wait a little longer, something big will happen!
Gao Jingshi quickly shook his head and said: "Fourth Princess, have you been stimulated by anything recently?"
"Yes!" Princess Yongning still pouted: "I was almost scared to death by you, isn't that considered exciting?"
Gao Pragmatic didn't believe it: "That's it?"
"That's it? How else do you want to stimulate me?" Princess Yongning said reluctantly: "You already... me last time, and I have figured it out. Even... even... I won't give up."
Um?
No, I didn't do anything last time. I gave you a hug, a kiss...well, just a touch. It's not a big deal. You're still perfect. Why do you say it as if you've already done that?
Perhaps Gao Pragmatic's expression was too weird, Princess Yongning's face turned redder, and her shyness finally got the upper hand, but after she lowered her head, she still said: "Didn't you use 'Zhi Jing Martial King' last time?
Will Zhu Zhu of "Wu Jing Wei Lie" come to persuade me? [Note: Zhu Zhu said: King Yan Wu maintained his determination to constantly strive for self-improvement, so his achievements were so great that no one in the world could compete with him.]
You said: In the final analysis, this means not to feel sorry for yourself due to the difficulties you are currently facing, but to always stick to your heart, work tirelessly, and strive towards what you want - is this what you said?"
Gao pragmatic swallowed and laughed dryly: "I'm right, but what I mean is..."
"What I want is you, and only you." Princess Yongning suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of determination: "This year is the fifteenth year of Wanli, and I will be twenty years old soon. I...I'm afraid that I won't
If you wait any longer, you won't even want me."
