royal girl

Chapter 62

This year's parade was supposed to be a happy event, but who knew that the Queen Mother was ill.The empress dowager was ill, and her condition was not very optimistic, so the emperor Zhixiao canceled this year's tour, so the bustling Kyoto became quiet as the empress dowager became seriously ill.The emperor can't go to the siege because of the queen mother's illness, and they, the courtiers, naturally have to tuck their tails. Whoever dares to make something at this time, it's not too long.

The banquets between the various families seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden. In the past, Huiyu could not say that she could receive posts every day, but at least a month later, there was a thick stack.But now there are only a few scattered posts on the table, which can barely be regarded as a tea party with friends in the boudoir, not a banquet.

In this general environment, when all officials and their families have to behave with their tails between their legs, Huiyu naturally stays at home to recuperate.The Empress Dowager's illness has been repeated throughout the summer, but Huiyu has sprouted like a wicker, and the whole person has grown. When autumn comes, Huiyu's tailor-made clothes are a good size Son.Huiyu is not at all surprised that girls are growing rapidly at this age.

Nearly July, Kan Zhiyi went to the border under Huiyu's instructions. He went away for several months, and it was only two days before he sent news that he was coming back.

The room was fully covered with new materials sent from the south this year. The colors were more correct than in previous years, and there were more patterns. Huiyu picked a few to make clothes.He also randomly pointed out several designs and asked Xiu Niang to bring Xue Runiang to add autumn clothes, and also sent Dong Feiling a few horses. Dong Wan also asked in a dignified manner, but after all, Dong Wan belonged to the Duke of Dingguo. The eldest daughter, of course, is not short of these things. After accepting Huiyu's gift, she also returned gifts of different colors.

Huiyu is very satisfied with the state of getting along with Dong Wan now, because Mrs. Tai loves quietness, and they are not peaceful every day, so they cannot meet every day.Keeping the probability of meeting twice in half a month is a very good distance, so Huiyu grows fat and grows very comfortably.

After seeing off Xiuniang, Bingrui came in with the newly developed yogurt.I have to say that Bingrui is a good girl, and a good girl who can withstand torture.Because there are many restrictions in this time and space, Huiyu can't make many things he wants to eat. Only this yogurt or Bingrui has gone through countless failed experiments before making it successfully.Now Bingrui has become a good craft driven by Huiyu's strong appetite.She can meticulously experiment with all kinds of food that her master is talking about nonsense, until she can really make it.At present, they have formed a special state. Huiyu speaks and Bingrui starts, which is equal to delicious food.

White yogurt is placed in a small bone china tureen without any pattern on the whole body, and a series of small plates are placed in a tray made of boxwood next to it. Various diced fruits and rose marinade are placed in an orderly manner. , honey beans, candied fruit and other condiments.

Bingrui skillfully picked up Huiyu's favorite diced fruit and sprinkled it on the yogurt, and finally poured rose marinade on it, forming a beautiful pattern that made people look appetizing.

Huiyu held the bowl and ate two small bowls, then nodded with satisfaction, "This time the taste is better than last time."

"The servant will become more proficient in doing it a few times. The master likes the sour one. If the fermentation time is not well grasped, the taste will be slightly worse. This time, the time has been changed." Bingrui was relieved, and the girl is satisfied.To tinker with this thing, she entrusted someone to ask people outside the Great Wall. The herdsmen outside the Great Wall like to eat this food, and the craftsmanship is much better than that of Dajin.

Xueqi waited on Huiyu to clean her hands, and said with a smile: "If this continues, our Bingrui will become omnipotent. The pot we made last time is fine, but the weather is a bit hot. If we wait until winter That's good."

Huiyu smiled slightly, this is not a greedy desire to eat hot pot, there is no hot pot here, so he invented the local method to eat hot pot.It's just too troublesome. If the charcoal burned under the pot is good smokeless charcoal, the price of high-quality silver frost charcoal is not cheap, and ordinary people really can't afford it. It is a luxury item.

"And the cake with vegetables is also delicious, but it doesn't look very elegant." Xueying also followed suit.

The pancake sandwich is an improved version of the hamburger. Hey, the ingredients are not enough, so it's barely enough.However, Bingrui is dexterous, and the cakes and vegetables she made taste good, but it is indeed not elegant to eat with hands, in the eyes of ancient people.

The conversation in the room was lively, there was a little girl hanging outside the door, Xueying saw it and went out quietly.He came back soon, and whispered in front of Huiyu: "Girl, Zhong Dalai is here, waiting at the second gate."

Huiyu looked at Xueying, nodded, but did not speak.

When Bingrui saw it, she took the remaining things on the table and quietly retreated.Xueqi tidied up the house and also retreated.Since the last time when Xueying came and didn't leave well, the girl liked to use Xueying more.Xueying has a sharp mouth and quick handling, she can't compare to her, but her loyal girl also sees it, she is not in a hurry, girls will always use her.

"Now it's not like before. Dafang is watching closely. You ask Zhong Daxin to ask his brother what's important." Huiyu gradually trusts Xueying, and leaves some things to her. Contact Zhong Danian now It's all about Xueying's business, she came and went, Xueying knew that whether she came or not had such a big relationship with their girls, so she didn't dare to have second thoughts about the girls.

"Yes, I'll go now, servant girl." Xueying replied in a low voice, and after thinking for a while, she said: "But I still want this servant girl to ask about whether to go there or not?"

Since Kan Zhiyi went to Bei'an Hou, the shopkeeper who came and never left has been replaced. The new shopkeeper who replaced him was a servant of Kan Zhiyi for many years who was very trustworthy.However, Huiyu didn't come and go, not to mention the shopkeeper, even Kan Zhiyi didn't know about it, so many things had to be turned a few times before he could do anything.

"No need." Huiyu said, Kan Zhiyi will come back from the border soon, and he will naturally know his plan by then.

Xueying didn't dare to say anything, so she went to find Zhong Daxin.

Zhong Daxin got Xue Ying's words, so he hid from others and went to see his brother. As soon as the two brothers met, Zhong Daxin called brother first, and then asked: "Miss, let me ask what's urgent?"

Zhong Danian glanced around, and said in a low voice: "I didn't come this morning. I don't know what happened in the back yard. There was an extra person who was seriously injured. The shop assistants were all terrified. Then They went to him and asked what to do." Then he explained the matter in detail.

Zhong Daxin's face turned pale when he heard that, it is not a good way to deal with such a thing, he has also learned some eyebrows and eyes in the past few days when he was working under the master's errand, and he has become a bit more powerful in seeing things, so he smiled on his face, intentionally Loudly said: "I see, I will tell you about the things in the shop. The girl said that there are some fur goods in Curry for you to sell. You can take them back first." After saying this, she lowered her voice and followed closely. He said, "Don't worry brother, I will tell the girl."

Zhong Danian patted his younger brother on the shoulder with a smile, went to the warehouse to pick up the goods without saying anything, and then took the carriage back to the shop.

Zhong Daxin went to Huiyu's yard, and told his brother exactly what he said through the screen, then lowered his head and waited for the girl's order.

Huiyu half-closed her eyes, suddenly there was a seriously injured person in the backyard who had come and refused to leave, and at the moment when Kan Zhiyi was about to return, something like this happened...

"How is the person now?"

"The shopkeeper who came and didn't leave has already placed him in the servant's room, and invited a trusted doctor to show him the injury. He said that the injury was serious and he had to travel all night, so he had a fever and passed out. If If he can't wake up, he may not be able to survive, if he wakes up, he will be saved." Zhong Daxin replied.

Regardless of whether it was a coincidence or not, in short, such a person suddenly ran out at this time, which was not right for reason or reason. Huiyu said: "Move the person to a safe place, try to treat him as much as possible, and lock him up first after he wakes up."

Zhong Da's confidence trembled, he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he bowed and retreated.Zhong Daxin went out of the corner door of Dong's house as usual, and the guard at the door asked him what he was going to do with a smile, Zhong Daxin smiled and said: "Young lady asked me to spread a word in the shop, isn't it that it's almost winter, leather goods It must be in high demand, go see how the stock is."

"Brother Zhong is someone you can use in front of the girl. You should mention this little brother in the future. I will remember your kindness." The gatekeeper, whoever wants to watch the door for the rest of his life, wants to show his face in front of the master. It can be reused. There is a nanny in the Zhong family. I didn't expect that one person would ascend to heaven, and the whole family would follow the second girl to eat and drink spicy food. No one in the house would not envy her.Look at the person who was cast in this womb, he was born with a good life to be a slave.

Zhong Daxin laughed and said a few words to the doorman, guessing that everyone in the big room had heard his words, so he lifted his foot and walked out.

When it was ready, his elder brother was waiting, he dragged his younger brother into the inner room, and asked, "What did you tell me?"

Zhong Daxin explained the words again, with beads of sweat on his forehead, he looked at his brother and asked, "Brother, is there anything wrong?" It's a matter of life, so he took people to his yard to look, If something really happened, it would be fatal.

"There is a girl, what are you afraid of, look at your potential." Zhong Danian patted his younger brother, sighed in his heart, but said: "It's not that we murdered and set fire, it's that we kindly looked at someone If you want to save someone’s life when you’re injured, it’s a bodhisattva’s heart to say so, you’re so cowardly and you still want to get ahead with such courage?”

Zhong Daxin breathed a sigh of relief, "Isn't this the first time I have encountered such a thing?" As soon as the words fell, it was also the first time for his brother to meet him, but his brother was not very afraid. Compared with him, he was far behind up.

"I know everything, you go back, and I will write back to the girl after I have settled the person." Zhong Danian sent his younger brother away, quietly went out through the back door, and went directly to the place where Deng Yangyu lived.

Deng Yangyu is a very interesting person. He lives in a place where there are all kinds of religions and all kinds of things, and the neighbors around him are all vicious.Every time Zhong Danian walked from here, he felt more courageous, so he was extra cautious about Deng Yang Yu, this was sent by the Marquis of Bei'an, he couldn't afford to offend him.

Deng Yangyu nodded expressionlessly, "I know what to do, just wait for the letter."

Zhong Da Nian went back to the shop and did not get Deng Yang Yu's letter until midnight. Before dawn, he quietly went back to his home and told his brother about it.Everything is going on in secret, silently.

Huiyu got the news and knew that Deng Yangyu had made arrangements for her, so she let go of her brows that had been on her all night.

On the third day, Kan Zhiyi came back.

As soon as he came back and heard about the shop, he secretly went to see Zhong Danian, and Huiyu knew what had happened after a while.

It turned out that the person who collapsed in the shop was exactly the same business partner with Kan Zhiyi.Later, when Kan Zhiyi went to Yuzhou, they parted ways.Who knew that Kan Zhiyi saw him again on the way to the border. After talking with him, he knew that Kan Zhiyi had opened a shop in Kyoto.It's just that he didn't expect his companion to meet again, but Yan Wang walked around and almost died.

After Huiyu knew that this person might not be a bad person, she was relieved.Now he can only wait for that person to wake up to find out what happened.

A few days later, I got the news that the man woke up.Only then did Huiyu know the ins and outs of the whole thing. It turned out that after this person separated from Kan Zhiyi, he was targeted for some reason.Hanging him all the way, he didn't know who he had offended, so he circled in a big circle in a panic, and ran back to the capital after hiding for a few months. Who knew that before he found Kan Zhiyi's shop and hid, someone He was slashed from the back, and then escaped desperately, over the wall and entered Kan Zhiyi's house.

That is to say, this person still doesn't know why he was hacked and felt wronged. Isn't this a disaster that fell from the sky?

But Huiyu understood that this man was stabbed for Kan Zhiyi and saved his life.The people who wanted to chase this man followed the wrong man and mistook him for Kan Zhiyi. In addition, when this man came back, he walked towards him. Naturally, it was confirmed that he was correct, so he killed him.This also explains the reason why they did not do anything until they entered Kyoto.

Someone in the capital wanted Kan Zhiyi's life, so he followed Kan Zhiyi all the way out, but he didn't expect to follow the wrong person.

Huiyu understood, and Kan Zhiyi naturally understood too.

Whether to come or not to go in the capital is to let people get rid of him and then quickly. As for who this person is, Huiyu still doesn't know.Businessmen value profits and make a lot of money when they come and don't leave, but they are in the way of others.Can't compete in business, and Kan Zhiyi won't share his supply channels, so naturally he offended others, and then launched a murderous plan.

Speaking of which, Kan Zhiyi's companion was really unlucky, but when he saw his friend, he drank a pot of wine, chatted all night, continued his old relationship, and was chased for several months. In the end, he was stabbed and almost saw him again. Hades.

Kan Zhiyi can't tell him the truth about it, he can only vaguely say, offering delicious food and drink, letting him heal his wounds, and giving him a generous amount of travel expenses to let him go home. It's over.

In addition to this matter, Kan Zhiyi also brought back a letter written by the Marquis of Bei'an.The letter did not go to the post station, but was brought back by Kan Zhiyi, and Huiyu knew that the contents of the letter might not be seen.

Looking at the letter in her hand, Huiyu felt a little heavy for the first time.Her grandfather, who fought all the way from being a soldier to becoming a marquis today, is naturally not an ordinary person. First, he called Kan Zhiyi to the border gate to watch him for a few months, and now he started talking to Huiyu.

Huiyu has a headache. Her grandfather's unreasonable attitude is really driving people crazy.

Telling everyone in the room to retreat, Huiyu opened the letter and read it line by line, his expression slowly becoming serious.

The matter in the letter is very simple, it is to let Kan Zhiyi go to the southern coastal wharf to do sailing business.Speaking of the economic lifeline of a country, there are only a few industries, such as salt, iron, coal, water transport, border trade and shipping.The previous matters are all in the hands of the imperial court, and it is impossible to get involved without a foundation, and getting involved in such things is tantamount to hanging a dangerous signal in front of the emperor, and there will be danger at any time.Only in the area of ​​shipping, the Great Jin Dynasty has not opened the sea ban, only some sporadic private boats sell overseas things for business.The imperial court still despised this self-interest, but the Marquis of Bei'an noticed the huge benefits of shipping from Huiyu's every move during this period.

His grandfather wanted to save private money and raise private soldiers?

Huiyu shuddered all over, her face turned pale.

Bei'anhou's loyalty is clear in the original text, so there can only be one explanation for his actions now, that is, Bei'anhou wants to start planning for future generations.He has soldiers in his hand now, but they are the soldiers of the imperial court, and he uses the money of the imperial court to support the soldiers of the imperial court. When the imperial court replaces him one day, these soldiers will not belong to him anymore.But if the Xing family could have its own private soldiers... Huiyu never expected that her grandfather would be so courageous, that is to say, in order to win the favor of the future emperor, the Marquis of Bei'an has already begun to increase the chips in his hands.

With money, he can recruit soldiers and horses at the border. Whether it is weapons or horse food, which one does not require money?

Raising private soldiers and raising ambitions, this matter is really terrible!
Can Huiyu not be afraid?

There was no such matter in the original text, Huiyu had a headache, and wondered how Xing Yulang could think of making such a decision.However, in the original text, Kan Zhiyi voted for Xia Bingyu, and finally was used by Ji Fuyan.So Huiyu doesn't know whether Ji Fuyan asked Kan Zhiyi to do such a thing, because the author is cheated if he didn't write it.But now Xing Yulang has done it, and without hesitation, he dragged her granddaughter to jump into this big pit together.

Huiyu couldn't figure it out now, how could Xing Yulang attach so much importance to an 11-year-old girl like her, and thought it was right to leave such a thing to her?In ancient times, the education of children was so good that they started with dolls. Basically, they, the daughters of noble families, learned to write from the time they could hold a pen, and from the time they could hold a needle, they learned to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Even if you can't be proficient in everything, at least you must be able to meet people in one thing.The specific reference is Dong Wan, the eldest daughter of the Dong family.

Dong Huiyu has a mother who is a bit out of character because of her unhappy marriage, so she does whatever she wants when it comes to educating her daughter, a glorious and important task.So in the original text, Dong Huiyu is just a beautiful vase character with huge lethality but basically no brains.It means that her lethality is huge, not because of her extremely intelligent mind, but because of her very famous personality.

It's true that Huiyu didn't want to be cannon fodder, but she never thought that one day she would be dragged into such an abyss by her grandfather.

Sure enough, big trees are not easy to rely on, and there is a price to pay.

Moreover, Huiyu thinks a little deeper, considering the development of various historical plots, if his grandfather can make such an unreliable decision at this time, then it must be that the situation in Kyoto has developed to an irreconcilable situation. the point.That is to say, the Xing family is being forced to submit to a certain force. If Xing Yulang doesn't want to submit, he will either be destroyed.Or it can only be stronger.

Although Huiyu is a little girl who traveled to the back house, she has the original route in her mind. If you think about it carefully, there are only two people who can make Xing Yulang feel the danger.First, the quasi-male protagonist Ji Fuyan.Second, Huiyu is not sure yet, nor can she be sure, but she thinks it has something to do with Ji Qiyu.

Huiyu didn't want to leave when she came, and she didn't think about achieving the emperor's hegemony, but thinking about saving her life.But the development of the matter is clearly out of her control. Huiyu can no longer control the future that will come and never go. At least with her status as a housewife and her current age limit, she cannot and cannot dissolve into this society. survival criteria.

The headache is killing her, she should eat, sleep, live like a pig, and let her grandpa make trouble.

This society can't tolerate women who are too smart, so why should Huiyu cause trouble for herself, let alone... she can't afford to!
After lighting and burning the letter, Huiyu couldn't calm down for a long time after sitting down.I just feel like boiling oil in my heart, boiling so hard that I can't calm down.

She knew that her grandfather was also thinking about the future, and his grandfather's letter didn't say to ask Huiyu to do something by himself, he just borrowed Kan Zhiyi.Even when Kan Zhiyi's business grows, Huiyu's income will increase and her net worth will become richer and richer. In the future, it will be beneficial to her for the rest of her life.

Perhaps his grandfather would not have thought of it, but he just said in the letter that Huiyu would be able to think of what he was going to do by borrowing Kan Zhiyi.If Xing Yulang found out, he might regard Huiyu as a monster.

In the world of men, women have never been able to walk side by side. This society does not allow it.

Huiyu sighed, whatever, anyway, she, her mother, and her brother were tied to the boat of her grandfather, and she couldn't jump off if she wanted to, and they... couldn't jump either.

Huiyu wrote a reply letter, which was sent through the post station. In it, Huiyu did not directly mention Kan Zhiyi's affairs, but only vaguely expressed her attitude, and she agreed.

Perhaps because the weather was getting colder, the Empress Dowager's health finally improved, and His Majesty the Emperor began to deal with state affairs with a smile on his courtiers again, so the capital once again returned to its former bustle and prosperity.Invitations like snowflakes began to flood again, and there were more and more gatherings. This time, the draft in the spring of the following year was the most talked about.

It is said that it is the next year's draft, but in fact, in the spring of next year, women of suitable age from various families in Beijing will apply for the election.Dong Wan is fifteen years old, just old enough to be drafted.Huiyu was only 13 years old the following year, so she didn't have much part in this draft.Many of Dong Wan's group are old acquaintances with Huiyu, Xia Bingyu, Qin Roujia, Song Yufu, Chu Jing, Zhang Yuqiong, etc., and the rest are daughters of noble courtiers who are qualified and old, Huiyu Look at the name somewhat familiar but never met.After all, Dong Huiyu's circle of friendship is considered top-notch in Kyoto, and only others look up to them.

For example, the daughters of the second households of the three families of Qin, Xia and Chu are also qualified, not to mention that the masters of the second households of these families all serve in the court, and they are familiar ministers in front of the emperor.The spring breeze of the draft has not yet blown, but the bloody smell of fighting in the backyards of each family has already been smelled.

There are four princes who can be married this time, from one to four, each of the four princes has a share.The five, six, seven and three princes are a little bit harder, and they are not old enough, so they can only wait for the next wave, especially the fifth prince is only a few months away from being a f*ck, but he has to wait three years longer to marry a wife.

In the original text, the heroine died before the draft.

Because the four princes not only refer to one main concubine, but also two side concubines.If the main concubine can't spell it, there is always the title of side concubine. Although she has a side character, she is still a decent daughter-in-law who can be listed on the imperial jade.In the original text, Dong Huiyu knew that the main concubine had no hope of being a heroine with a direct aunt as a mother-in-law, so she moved towards the position of side concubine, but ended up dying.

The draft, which is a major hurdle related to whether Huiyu can not be cannon fodder, is like a mountain pressing on Huiyu's head.

Hidden away, no worries for the rest of my life.

can't escape...

Bah, my sister didn't come to be cannon fodder after traveling once, she will definitely be able to escape.
