When Shao Yan saw her energetic look, he couldn't help but want to laugh. "Grandma, this girl is really interesting. She is fanning herself in the winter without fear of getting cold. She doesn't need to be like this to be cool? But she can't blame her."
, who said that those scholars in ancient times had such virtues? Thinking of this, Shao Yan showed a very expectant expression and said: "Okay, okay, I am all ears, and I also ask the princess to give me some advice."
Xiang Hongyu put away the folding fan with a snap and said with a half-smile: "Young Master, I am not bragging, but my mind is spinning too fast."
I didn't realize it, but this girl is actually thicker-skinned than me. Shao Yan had a smile on his face, and Xiang Hongyu pouted and said, "Why? You don't believe it?"
"Believe it, believe it, the princess will either not take action, or once she takes action, she will be the only one who can support the two." Shao Yan quickly replied, his flattering skills are top-notch, his face is not red, his heart is not beating, whoever listens will be happy
"You are discerning." Xiang Hongyu glanced at him proudly, and then said: "Brother Shao Yan, don't you want the families of those palace maids to come and take them home? Do you know why their families have been reluctant to come?
Come and claim it?”
"Why?" Shao Yan's eyes widened and he looked like a complete fool.
Xiang Hongyu opened the folding fan casually and said with a smile: "There is money that can make the world go round. I have people put up notices all over the city. It says:... Several palace concubines have arrived."
At the age of leaving the palace, but no family members came to claim it. Today, the emperor is so kind to the world. Anyone who comes to recognize him will be given fifty taels of silver to each person..."
Wow, does this girl think that I am a banker? The price is fifty taels. Mom, even if I am a rich man, there is no need to waste so much? Shao Yan secretly complained and said: "You are so stupid
What's the method? Fifty taels of silver is equivalent to two years of annual income for an ordinary farmer. Poor people can't even meet this standard. I think as long as they are not fools, they will definitely recognize the person after seeing this notice.
If it were me, I would go. Anyway, there are white coins to take. If you don’t take it, it will be free. My princess, what do you think? If my guess is correct, the person who went to recognize someone that day must be
There were crowds of people, like those seventh aunts, eighth aunts, fourth brothers-in-law, and fifth uncles all showing up."
Xiang Hongyu couldn't help but blush. Then she realized that what she was doing was too naive. She thought to herself, no wonder after the notice was sent out that day, so many people came to pick up people. It took a long time, but it turned out that they were all
I came here just for the money. I'm so stupid. Why didn't I think of this? This is great. I lost both my wife and my army. It would be fine if those concubines were really taken away by their families. If they fell into
If they fall into the hands of bad people, wouldn’t I have harmed them? They are all poor women who finally escaped from Yelubu’s clutches. What if it happens again this time... No, I have to save them.
Seeing that she was worried, Shao Yan had guessed something. He smiled heartily and said: "You don't have to worry too much. No matter whether those concubines return to their homes or not, as long as they live well, I will let them
People inspect every family openly and covertly, and if they find someone with evil intentions, they will definitely not let him off lightly."
When Xiang Hongyu heard this, she felt much more at ease, and said with a ashamed look on her face: "Brother Shao Yan still has the foresight, I will only be a disservice and almost miss a big event."
Shao Yan waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's just a waste of money. You are a dignified princess of Chu State. Isn't this little money a small thing to you?"
"How many pieces of shit?" Xiang Hongyu was stunned for a moment.
"It means that there are countless gold, silver and jewels in the princess's palace. This small amount of silver is nothing to you?"
Xiang Hongyu was taken aback and asked suspiciously: "Brother Shao Yan, what do you mean by this? Could it be that I alone have to pay for this money?"
Shao Yan nodded calmly and said with a secret smile, Hee hee, who made your family so rich? Occasionally bleeding can help to promote metabolism. Hello, I am okay. Hello everyone. Besides, this time is also the case.
It's because of your own actions. I can't blame you.
Xiang Hongyu has seen Shaoyan's scoundrels before, but she didn't expect that this person was so thick-skinned. People helped him with good intentions, but he repaid them with kindness. It was so annoying. Xiang Hongyu frowned and stamped his feet.
: "Brother Shao Yan, are you mistaken? I am doing something for you. I haven't asked you for wages yet, but you put all the expenses on my head. You, you are obviously
It’s not reasonable.”
"Oh, really? Am I being unreasonable?" Shao Yan deliberately pretended to be stupid and said with a bad smile: "I didn't ask you to spend money. You misappropriated money without my permission. This is legal
It is not recognized. From this point of view, the cost will naturally be borne by you alone."
"You -, I -" Xiang Hongyu wanted to defend, but after thinking about it, he was indeed at fault first. If he hadn't been too eager for quick success and quick gain, he wouldn't have become like this. After thinking about it, it was just a matter of time.
It's not like the princess can't afford the thousand taels of silver. Thinking about it, she raised her head and said confidently: "Okay, one person will do the work and one person will be responsible for it, and the princess will bear all the expenses."
Shao Yan laughed loudly. At this time, Mu Ying walked in with a smile from outside the door. She glanced at Xiang Hongyu and then handed an account book to Shao Yan's hand. Shao Yan flipped through a few pages casually.
Then he smiled at Xiang Hongyu and said: "Little girl, I just made a joke with you. I spend money on my own country, how can you pay for it?"
Xiang Hongyu looked at him, then at Mu Ying who was smiling, and suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, brother and sister Shao Yan, it turns out that you two worked together to scare me, it's in vain for me to do this."
I believe you, you are simply too bad, I, I will ignore you." After that, he walked away in an aggressive manner.
Mu Ying saw something was wrong and hurriedly chased him out. Shao Yan still sat back on his chair, burying his head and carefully reviewing the memorial. In his opinion, this girl Hongyu was a little unruly and willful at times, but she was not unreasonable.
Moreover, this girl usually listens to Mu Ying's words the most. Even if she occasionally plays a little temper, it is just a passing cloud.
…
Shao Yan patiently finished approving all the memorials. He stretched first, and then slowly walked out of the imperial study room. Suddenly he heard a woman singing from outside. Although the voice was soft, the melody was extremely soft. Just listening to the sound made him laugh.
I knew it was Mu Ying. When this girl was herding sheep at home, she would like to sing a song when she had nothing to do. However, most of the songs she sang were in the dialect of the Miao people.
Shao Yan didn’t understand the Miao dialect, so he could only roughly listen to the melody. The Miao songs had a beautiful style and very melodious tones, which made people feel like they were actually there. Shao Yan followed the direction of the singing and quietly
When I came to the back garden, I saw Mu Ying sitting in front of the pavilion, humming a beautiful tune, while Xiang Hongyu sat quietly on the long pier opposite, dragging his chin with his hands and listening to his heart's content.
"Sister, you sing so beautifully, can you teach me a lesson?" Xiang Hongyu said with a smile.
Mu Ying smiled and said: "Of course you can, as long as you are willing to learn."
Xiang Hongyu thought for a while and said: "Sister, our mother is Miao, and we are half Miao. You grew up in the mountains and are proficient in the Miao dialect, but I don't know it at all.
How about this, how about we sing in the Chinese language? In this way, Brother Shaoyan, the Queen, and Sister Ruxue can all understand it."
"This -" Mu Ying pondered for a moment, then he thought: "Okay, okay, but if you want to sing the song in Chinese dialect, you must have lyrics. But, sister, you also know that I don't know much about literacy.
It’s hard to write a complete sentence, let alone a whole paragraph of lyrics.”
Xiang Hongyu thinks it makes sense. To sing, you must first have lyrics. Although the Queen has taught her sister to recognize a lot of words, it is still quite difficult to write lyrics. I have to say that my sister can't do it. I'm afraid she doesn't have a certain literary talent.
It was also difficult to do. When she thought of the word 'literary talent', her eyes suddenly lit up and she said with a smile: "Sister, I thought of someone. Let's ask her for help."
"Who?" Mu Ying wondered.
"Princess sister," Xiang Hongyu said excitedly: "She is a talented woman from Liang State. You must be right to find her."
A hint of joy flashed across Mu Ying's face, but soon dimmed again, and she said: "Princess Yuegui is the most talented woman in Nanliang. It is certainly feasible to ask her for help, but she has just recovered from a serious illness. How can we bother her?"
"Why not?" As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Yan walked over from behind with a smile on his face. Mu Ying hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but Xiang Hongyu disagreed. Shao Yan said: "Such a good piece of music, if it is matched with
Isn’t it the icing on the cake if you post beautiful words? I’ll take care of this matter. I’ll go and talk to Yuegui.”
The two sisters were immediately overjoyed
…
One day passed, and people finally ushered in the annual New Year Festival. Every household was decorated with lights and colorful firecrackers, and the sound of firecrackers continued. The children from the neighbors gathered together in twos and threes to play, while the adults were busy preparing.
Having New Year’s Eve dinner
This is the first New Year that Shao Yan celebrated in ancient times. It is said that the poor are most afraid of the New Year, and they call it the New Year's Eve. That's because at the end of the year, the poor hand over everything they can use to the landlord. Shao Yan has been a child since he was a child.
The orphan can naturally understand the plight of the poor. He has always had deep feelings for the poor farmers. Therefore, he decided to organize a fireworks display at the expense of the court on New Year's Eve this year, and build on the results of previous years.
on, plus a variety of fresh programs
In addition to Zhang Huaide and Chang Yixiao's circus, there are also dances, sword dances, fighting, etc. In short, they are all kinds of and endless. During the period, Mu Ying presented the song "Ode to Love Song" for everyone:
The wind is whistling, the wind is whistling. There are ripples on the distant sea. The beautiful girl is standing on the shore, washing her beautiful hair. My brother is on the other side. He is smiling, and he is singing. They are both singing.
When the morning sun shines on the earth, the warmth will surround me wholeheartedly, and his shadow will follow. When the early autumn wind blows gently, he puts on a thick coat for me. In the cold winter,
He came quietly and gave me endless warmth with his solid arms. If meeting is like a song, then falling in love is the most beautiful movement in the world. What we once had is a happy and beautiful memory. I hope we can stay together and grow old together.
Always let go and love, my dearest and most beloved brother, I will spend my whole life waiting for you, no matter when and where...
…………
A lyric composed by Zheng Yuegui, Mu Ying used her beautiful singing voice to spread it to everyone's ears. Since the venue was set up in the open air, many people came to watch. In addition to civil and military officials and soldiers, there were also
There were people from all over the world, Mu Ying sang happily, while Cao Xuanjiao and Zheng Yuegui played the piano and accompanied them. Xiang Hongyu was fascinated by the music, and finally couldn't help singing and dancing beside her. Bai Ruxue
They were also pulled to the center by the two sisters.
Seeing the festive scene in front of him and the joyful smiles on everyone's faces, Shao Yan was very happy and secretly sighed, "It's Chinese New Year, uncle, how are you doing alone there? My nephew is too unfilial."
He left you alone at home. He turned his face slightly and bowed deeply to the sky, which was regarded as a New Year greeting to his uncle. At this moment, he suddenly heard a sigh coming from behind him.
