"You just keep an eye on the bookstore these days. Be sure to remember the points I made. I still trust you. I will take care of you in the house for a few days. If you have any questions, come back and ask me. Remember.
You can’t make it public, you can’t use the name of me and Prince Qi’s house, and you can’t use the name of the Chu family, do you understand?"
She made repeated orders, fearing that something would go wrong again at this juncture.
Sun De lowered his head, bowed with his fingers together, solemnly agreed, and then withdrew.
The more I thought about it, the more something was wrong. I always felt that the girl from the Red Mansion who was going to spend the night with her yesterday looked a little familiar.
Suddenly! She remembered the look Yun Jianlai cast on the second floor when she visited her old house that day! It was this Red Mansion! The woman's makeup that day was not alluring, and there was sadness in her eyes. It seemed that she was not destined to be with this Red Mansion girl.
Shallow!
Chu Yunjing's life in the palace was indeed quite comfortable. Even if there were eyes and ears in the palace watching her, she could still find ways to do some sneaky things. After all, no one was suppressing her here. She was the oldest in the palace.
Everyone who sees her has to call her "Empress". She has clothes on her back, hands on food and food on her face, and mouths open. Apart from those unprovoked fights, if King Huai really wants to kill her, is she ignorantly involved in some fights in the court?
She couldn't figure it out, but she was just scared. Fortunately, Prince Qi's Mansion was safe. There were guards guarding her all the time. If Fu Feng hadn't saved her, she would have died in the clouds long ago. She must treat these guards well. She is a capable person.
Vengeance must be repaid to those who are kind and grateful. Even if they obeyed King Qi, they were able to save her life at the critical moment. This is worthy of gratitude.
So I didn't leave the house for several days in a row. I searched for baskets of good things and spent the whole day. The house was as big as Su Hua, Fu Feng, Si Yu, Butler Meng, Aunt An, etc., and as small as the old man who poured the night bucket.
, the lady who chooses the dishes in the kitchen prepares a thick gift, each one is different, there are about thousands of large and small rewards.
She looks stern and intimidating on the outside, but in fact she still knows how to care for others, but she lacks expression. After all, she has been wronged and suffered from being left out. She is indeed not very good to others.
Most of the time, being kind to others is just an act, and there is little emotional feedback, but you can never go wrong by taking some external things.
The rewards were divided among the servants, and several groups of people kowtowed to the house outside the main house, all silently thanking her for her great kindness. These things were not worth mentioning to her, but to the civilian servants
It was a great gift. She waved her hand and told Butler Meng not to kowtow again, and then she stopped.
She called Su Hua and Fu Feng alone and asked them what their wishes were. Do they want to get a wife? Do they want to buy real estate? Are there any elderly people to support, etc.....
When it comes to marrying a wife, the little sparks between Su Hua and Si Yu are constantly at odds. Chu Yunjing later asked Si Yu what happened when he went to deliver food that night. Si Yu pretended to be calm and said, "I just went to give Su Hua some food."
General Hua sent some food, and then waited on the general to eat. There was nothing else to do. Then he heard that there was an explosion coming from Yunjian. The general didn't even finish his meal, so he hurriedly grabbed his horse and was about to go out.'
She asked again what she had said. Si Yu said no, she said nothing.
The two of them were a bit bored and not good at expressing themselves, and Chu Yunjing didn't try to match them up. After all, Su Hua had different status and it was not suitable for him to marry.
He has no family, no property, and no need for a wife. How can there be such a lack of desire in the world?
The two explained that they had no father or mother and were adopted and trained as secret guards since childhood. They could only obey the orders of their masters and die for them at any time. Therefore, there was no need for Chu Yunjing to make up for it no matter whether they had these virtual objects or not.
Swear to protect her to the death.
More than two months have passed since the Yunjianlai explosion. Among the twenty or so officials and gentry killed in the explosion, two of them were ministers of consolidation in the court, as well as the fourth son of Duke Zhengguo.
The incident became a major event that shocked both the government and the public. The people talked about it after dinner. The Holy Spirit was furious and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.
Fortunately, Chu Yunjing did not die in Yunjianlai that day, otherwise the news that the princess disguised herself as a man and wandered into Yunjianlai and was killed by a bomb would have embarrassed the entire royal family and the Chu family, and she would have become a notorious person after her death.
The reputation of those officials who died in the clouds is not good now, and most of their family members were buried hastily. Only Duke Zhengguo was unwilling to have his young son killed innocently by the bombing, so he complained in front of His Majesty and demanded an explanation.
It took more than a month of investigation in Dali Temple to find out that it was Beiyue's spy who had done it. Yunjianlai, which was heard all over the world, was a place frequented by Dafeng nobles, so Beiyue wanted to take action here, intending to kill as many people as possible.
I don’t know if the imperial court deliberately gave the excuse, but no one dared to question this result. Killing several stewards from Yunjian and sending all the girls from Yunjian to the Jiaofang Division can be regarded as
It's over.
As for Duke Zhengguo, he could only suppress his inner dissatisfaction. After all, it was his son who was nostalgic for Washe, and his fate was unlucky and he was innocently killed by a bomb. He already had a bad reputation, but he still insisted on seeking an explanation for his unfulfilled son.
He is really extremely confused. Although the Holy One said nothing, he has been trying to suppress him recently.
Chu Yunjing also hunkered down in the palace for more than two months. Apart from occasionally sending letters and listening to Sun De report on the progress of the bookstore decoration, he just spent time admiring flowers in the backyard, fishing, and making paintings in his free time.
, embroider a flower.
Some time ago, she was thinking about a new business. She found out about the previous method of transporting Haicuo from Yunjianlai. Fresh Haicuo was often difficult to transport to Kyoto during rare solar terms, so the cost was very high, even if it was sold in the street market.
The price is also high, which is sky-high for ordinary people, so some people only eat some local aquatic products, or buy some leftover seafood.
So she slapped her forehead and called Sun De again. She wanted to transport fresh seafood from the seaside. She wanted to change other shops, build an ice storage room underground, and dig a deep well under the ice room.
Cycle ice making to freeze some sea ice.
As for the fresh ones, they should be fished out from the sea and transported directly to Kyoto with the seawater. The water should be changed frequently to ensure the freshness of the seawater. After returning, they should be kept in deep well water and add an appropriate amount of sea salt, so that there will be more seawater.
Keep the inventory in stock for a while. Hire a few more people to transport seafood, so that you can ensure that there are fresh seafood every day. As for those that cannot be sold, they can be frozen in the ice cellar.
She asked Sun De to quickly buy a new shop, and found a group of shop assistants to go to the nearest seaside according to her method. This channel was not so easy to open, so she went to the local officials at a high price, and then she agreed to let her shop
The guy's luck was wrong.
The first round trip took three days. The man rushed too fast. After returning, Hai Tso was shaken to death many times on the road. She was so shaken that she was dizzy when she returned to Kyoto.
She tried it twice more, and it was pretty good. She was very pleased to see the live animals in the huge wooden storage jar. She started to calculate the cost again. This business was the first in Kyoto. Even if others wanted to do it, I'm afraid it would be too much.
There is no such intensive preparation, so she is not afraid of being copied for the time being. The sea food sold by other restaurants is not cheap. She can supply it to some restaurants at the market price, which is slightly cheaper than the restaurant buying from other places, and then selling it to ordinary people.
Price for the common people.
Finally, she chose a price that was both cheaper than the market price and able to earn a lot more than the cost. As long as her transportation links were correct, the deal would be completely stable.
Here she was busy preparing for her upcoming business. On the other hand, the eldest son of Duke Zheng was delighted to have his legitimate son and wanted to hold a banquet at home. For these things, he often prepared a generous gift to be sent by Butler Meng. She never
I came forward, thinking that it would be the same this time, but I didn't expect that a copy of the Queen's decree came down from the palace, which meant: The Queen was supposed to go to the Zhengguo Palace in person to congratulate her. Unfortunately, the Queen was ill, and she ordered Princess Qi to go to the Zhengguo Palace on her behalf.
Congratulations from the government.
Did she expect that Duke Zheng Guo had such a great reputation that he could actually allow the Empress to surrender in person? Later, when she thought that Duke Zheng Guo was the empress’s natal brother, it became clear. At the moment, I am afraid that the Holy One has the intention of suppressing Duke Zheng Guo.
, the queen naturally knows it and is not easy to show up.
Duke Zhengguo has been confused for a day or two. His fourth son has just died, and he is making a fuss about asking for an explanation from a concubine. After more than ten years of marriage, his eldest son finally has a legitimate son, and he has to hold a hundred-day banquet to mourn the first son.
It is taboo to be so close to Yixi.
In fact, it was Prince Huai's palace who should have come forward regarding the rules, but it was not her turn, Prince Qi's palace, which she was puzzled about. On the day of the wedding, Duke Zhengguo and his wife were present, but it was a pity that she didn't recognize them, since they were from the queen.
Yi Zhi can never be shied away from.
On the day of the full-moon banquet for the grandson of Zheng Guo, she started to dress up after breakfast. Si Yu helped comb her hair. She was bored and picked up the gift list sent by the queen that day and looked at it, flipping through the two-page gift booklet.
She sighed at how generous the reward was.
She chose a long-sleeved blouse made of mica gauze and crane silk, a gold-inlaid jade necklace that matched the blouse, a pair of Hetian jade drop-shaped jade earrings, and a set of jade flower crowns.
For jewelry, the headdress can be simpler. I also picked a ruby gold ring and put it on my left index finger. On both wrists were a pair of very transparent jasper bracelets that my grandmother gave me when I got married. They were like a set of jade pendants on my waist.
She was dressed very elegantly. She didn't want to bring a bodyguard, but it would be inappropriate to attend such a banquet without one, so Aunt Hui, Aunt An, Si Yu, Qian Guanguan and more than twenty girls. Aunt Hui was the one in the palace.
On the day when the decree was issued, Su Hua and more than 20 soldiers followed him. After a lot of hard work, it reached 4:00. I guessed that it was almost time, so I got on the incense car and drove all the way to the Zhengguo Duke's Mansion.
After walking for two-quarters of an hour, she arrived at the Duke Zhengguo's mansion. The carriage stopped at the gate of Duke Zhengguo. She came not too early, and almost all the guests had entered. Duke Zhengguo and his eldest son had received a transmission from Princess Qi early in the morning.
The queen congratulated her, so she was always waiting at the door.
Seeing her car arriving in great force, Duke Zheng and Guo hurriedly stepped forward to wait.
She was led out of the carriage by Si Yu, and the corners of her lips curled up with joy: "Congratulations to Duke Zhengguo on your grandson, congratulations to the young master!"
Suhua and a group of guards were waiting outside, and she led the slaves in.
The two of them saluted in unison: "Welcome to you, Princess Qi!"
