Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 117 War
On the day Mrs. Yan came to visit at home, Fang Qiniang's post also arrived, inviting Zhuhua to enjoy the chrysanthemum tomorrow.Zhuhua refused because she fell ill as she wished.For the first time, she found out that being sick was fine, and it could save her from many things.Although she recovered from her illness the next day, she still insisted on not going.

In a few days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, she recovered from her illness and did not go out, she was helping Mrs. Sun with the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony at home.On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Dashan and Qin San, who had not been back for half a year, came back together and said they would not leave.The family had a rare Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, and invited Qin San and Jin Hua to celebrate the festival together.

After dinner, the three sisters watched the moon by the window and talked, while Dabao and Erbao and Changzi played with the dog beside them.Just when it was quiet, Zhuhua looked at the sky and found that there was a bright star beside the moon.These days, the sky has been gloomy, and many people are saying that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival may not be able to enjoy the full moon.Fortunately, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon still showed its appearance through layers of dark clouds, illuminating the joyful reunion of thousands of people.

However, the sky is still a bit gloomy, and there are not many stars appearing, and the star beside the moon is particularly conspicuous.

"That star is very strange." She pointed to the sky and thought, is this really a star? It's so big and bright that it almost catches up with the moon. Isn't this the Kongming lantern that someone put up?
Everyone followed her fingers and looked at the sky with wonder.After a strong wind blew, the clouds in the sky seemed to have dispersed again, Dabao suddenly said in surprise: "That star has a tail."

"Isn't that the broom star?" Zhuhua teased, Dabao and Erbao were still smiling and applauding at first, but then they stopped smiling when they saw the serious faces of the adults. They are also eight or nine years old, and they are studying in a school outside , naturally know the depth of it.

Even Zhuhua immediately realized that even though she didn't believe that the appearance of a comet really brought any natural disasters, since others believed so, she would never jump out to refute and find trouble for herself.The good Mid-Autumn Festival banquet lost its peaceful atmosphere because of this comet, and other people in the city who saw the comet were also panicked, for fear that something might happen to interrupt the current peaceful life.But many people still think about another thing, whether the comet will be related to King Ping's transfer to Qin Tianjian.

Since the imperial examination fraud case, although King Ping was still serving as the deputy examiner during the reexamination, he was transferred to Qin Tianjian as soon as the reexamination was over.The prince is still in the palace to reflect on himself, if King Ping is not punished at all, I am afraid there will be suspicion outside.King Ping has always been obedient, so he went to Qin Tianjian as the deputy supervisor without complaint.The supervisor of Qin Tianjian is Li Tianshi, who is highly regarded by the emperor. He has not come to the official office for many years, and he is looking for geomantic gems for the imperial mausoleum.

One of the two supervisors who remained in the official office was Lu Qingyun, the eldest disciple of Li Tianshi, and the other was a former minister, who came to answer every day, even on the day when King Ping arrived.Therefore, most of the affairs in the Qin Tianjian are decided by Lu Qingyun. He was born white and fat, except for a pair of thick and drooping eyebrows, which looks like an outsider, everything else looks no doubt like an ordinary person.Even he laughed at himself and said that because of his mediocre aptitude, Li Tianshi left him to look after the house, and took his junior brother to travel around the world.

However, when King Ping first arrived at Qin Tianjian, someone suggested that Lu Qingyun take a look at King Ping to see if he needed to go to Prince Ping's mansion to exorcise evil spirits.Lu Qingyun gave King Ping a serious look, and said, "No need, when the palace welcomes a real mistress, the evil spirits will naturally fade away."

At that time, King Ping felt that Lu Qingyun still had some skills.

"How long will it take then?" asked someone with good intentions at the side.

King Ping also raised his heart to listen, but saw Lu Qingyun sighed slightly: "You can't say it."

As if to prevent others from asking again, Lu Qingyun found an excuse and took Ping Wang away.King Ping didn't ask any more questions, he also felt that it would take a few more years.

The days of Qin Tianjian are very monotonous, and King Ping has a separate room of his own here. To pass the time, he usually reads and practice calligraphy in the room.Lu Qingyun shared a room with another prison deputy. Since the other party was away all year round, in fact, Lu Qingyun used this room alone.King Ping once went to sit in that room, and saw that the room was bigger than the one he used, and there were several large shelves that reached the roof. There were objects on the shelves, including utensils, books and umbrellas. But they are all old.

King Ping knew that there were some things that should not be asked too much and he was not very curious, but Lu Qingyun saw him looking at this air, so he took the initiative to explain.

"These things are all collected by someone privately, and there are things attached to them. My lord, don't you think this room is very cool?"

"Lord Lu's hobbies are really special." King Ping said with effort.

"Isn't this impossible? My aptitude is too mediocre, so I wanted to try to use a special method to improve it, but it didn't seem to work. My third junior brother said that he found a particularly powerful knife and was about to bring it to me for a try, my lord. Are you interested in taking a look together then?"

"No, I'm afraid of knives." King Ping waved his hands again and again.

"Don't be afraid, my junior brother is guarding the side. His Highness must have heard of it."

"How can Xiao Wang not know the name of Daoist Priest of Perak?"

"It's good that Your Highness knows." Lu Qingyun nodded, his fat face was full of smiles.

King Ping guessed afterwards that Lu Qingyun was trying to solicit business for his junior brother. After the bones were dug up in Prince Ping's mansion, King Ji randomly found a few Taoist monks to do it, all in order to lure the criminals out for others to see.Besides, didn't Lu Qingyun not believe that there were ghosts in Prince Ping's mansion? Could it be that even he believed it?

He thought about it for a long time, and he didn't put the matter aside until he was on duty.Apart from the fact that his dealings with Lu Qingyun bothered him a bit, the others in Qin Tianjian were respectful to him, at least before the comet appeared.

As soon as the comet appeared, the emperor called the people from Qin Tianjian to question him. After confirming that there was no abnormal weather in the four seas, he still had doubts, so he asked Li Tianshi to go back to Beijing for further questioning.During this period, everyone in the Qin Tianjian was in a state of panic, for fear that something might happen that they failed to detect and would provoke the emperor to punish him; except for the deputy supervisor who only appeared at midnight every day.

The people in the Ministry of Industry are also trembling. Now that the river channel has almost been dug, and some supporting water conservancy projects are about to start construction, the people in the Ministry of Industry are starting to study new boats and want to launch them on the day when the river channel is officially opened. What an accident, their hard work in the past few years will be in vain.There shouldn't be any mistakes in their previous projects, right?

Everyone has been worried until mid-September, but the person who went to find Li Tianshi did not bring him back, but brought a note from him with the word "North" written on it.Yang Chengjian sent someone to inquire, but found nothing unusual.Yang Cheng didn't believe it, so he sent a special envoy to go there. It was a coincidence that as soon as the special envoy arrived in the north, it began to rain heavily.It was originally the harvest season, but after this rain, the wheat harvest was reduced by [-]%.Some people resisted and wanted to wait for the rain to stop before harvesting. Unexpectedly, after it rained for more than ten days, the temperature dropped sharply and it began to snow.It snowed for a day, and the confiscated wheat in the field was frozen, making harvesting difficult.

After Yang Chengjian knew about this, he immediately sent someone to appease the people.Although the production in the north has decreased, the south has had a bumper harvest this year. Now that the river connecting the north and the south has been opened, it saves more time to transport the grain from the south to Beijing than before.

It's just that the people of the Kang Dynasty in the north don't have to worry too much because they are under the control of the imperial court. The people of the Di nationality who are not under the rule of the Kang Dynasty can only save themselves if they suffer disasters.In the past few years, Wang Numu of the Di tribe has been fighting with his eldest son who failed to rebel and fled to his wife's tribe with his wife. The life of the people of the Di tribe is hard.When the natural disaster came, many clansmen could not survive.Several small tribes in the Di clan that had been partly annexed by Nu Mu layer layered together and wanted to get rid of the control of Nu Mu layer layer family, neither he nor his eldest son paid any attention to them.Among them, several warlike tribes, regardless of their internal strife, conspired to attack the border town after breaking away, and fled further north before Numu and Kang Chao could react.

When the news came back to Chang'an, no matter what the court officials thought, the common people murmured that King Ping was too evil.Yes, just half a month ago, King Ping was transferred from Qintian Supervisor to the Ministry of War, and something happened before his butt was hot.The common people were thinking in their hearts that King Ping went to be the deputy chief examiner and got involved in a fraud case, he went to Qin Tianjian and attracted comets attacking the moon, and he would definitely cause trouble when he went to the Ministry of War, such as where to fight or something?So when the battle report came, they all felt that it was true. Apart from worrying about the war, they also secretly wanted to know what would happen if King Ping was transferred to another place.

But when Yang Chengjian received the battle report, he was secretly happy.After all these years of fighting within the Di Clan, he had been waiting for the opportunity to deal with them, but he never expected the opportunity to come.What comet hit the moon, it seems that it was not Kang Chao but Beidi who was swept away by the comet.

Half a month later, Nu Mu was assassinated layer by layer, and it was rumored in the grassland that his eldest son succeeded.His eldest son didn't know what was going on, but Bohar, who had been under house arrest by Yang Chengjian, knelt down to Yang Chengjian and begged him to borrow soldiers to avenge his father.After he knelt for three days and three nights, Yang Chengjian was moved by his filial piety and finally agreed.

"This kid, come here again!" Wu Xiangxiang leaned on the couch and heard the news, and couldn't help laughing contemptuously.

The maid Zi Shu who was serving her at the side also showed a mocking smile, and said, "It would be great if the master was at the border at that time. When they first came to the door, I would lead the soldiers to kill him."

"It's not interesting to always slaughter the city." Wu Xiangxiang threw a fruit to her, got up and asked Yinxi, another maid, "Is there anything interesting?"

Yinxi is sorting out Wu Xiangxiang's birthday gift this year. Wu Xiangxiang's birthday is on the tenth day of October. Every year in October, the Heroine's Mansion always receives birthday gifts from various prefectures.The heroine's mansion will accept it, and then Yinxi will be responsible for preparing the gift in return.Some of these gifts were always gifts from admirers, both men and women.Last year, someone gave Wu Xiangxiang a bellyband that she wore, which surprised her. Later, it was found out that it was given by a famous romantic widow in the city, which made Wu Xiangxiang very nervous for a while.

Out of reciprocity, Wu Xiangxiang asked someone to send the original obscene trousers of the old bachelor groom in the house as a gift in return, and attached the groom's biographical information.The widow laughed for a while, saying that Wu Xiangxiang is a wonderful person, and when she found out that all her friends stopped coming, she couldn't laugh anymore.At that time, it was the groom described in the brochure sent by Wu Xiangxiang who often appeared beside her house. The widow was really not picky, so she met the groom on the spot, and the two kept in touch afterwards.

Wu Xiangxiang was also curious whether anyone would give such a bold gift this year.After tidying up the presents, Yin Xi found a bra that was smaller than a bellyband and put it in an exquisite wooden box with a simple diagram on how to wear it.After Wu Xiangxiang got it, she took a look at the corset inlaid with rubies, and smiled ambiguously at the corner of her mouth.

Zhuhua's lingerie shop was quietly open, and occasionally someone would come to the shop, and she would make a few taels of silver if she sold one piece. She was surprised that she hadn't made a loss this year.As a person with small assets, she opened the store purely for fun. Of course, it is best to make money. She has always worked hard to open this store because she thinks she can make money. It's just that she thinks it will take at least a few years to pay back.

The customers in the store are usually regular customers, and sometimes noble customers come, Zhuhua is not often in the store, this is what Qiuyun told her later.Knowing that Zhuhua has already started to go to banquets to make friends with ladies from various families, Qiuyun also suggested that she give the corset as a gift to a few close ladies, and by the way, she can promote it.Although Zhuhua thought about it, she didn't have a close friend to give her a corset. Even if she wanted to give it to her, she would give it to her idol Wu Xiangxiang.

Zhuhua’s birthday is on the ninth day of October, and Wu Xiangxiang’s birthday is on the tenth day of October. When Zhuhua heard the news, she thanked fate for the reunion. The birthdays of her and her idol are only one day away. What a fate! share.So in late September, when the family was helping her arrange a birthday party, she was busy making birthday gifts for her idol.In her previous life, she didn't chase stars very much, at most she was looking through photos of fashionable male stars, and finally realized the joy of star chasing.

When she decided to make a birthday present for Wu Xiangxiang, she remembered the time when she met Wu Xiangxiang, and Wu Xiangxiang's measurement data naturally popped up in her mind. It was E, a magical E, how could it be held up by a thin cloth? E's surging?After a few days of sketching, she settled on the olive branch as the basic pattern. The base color was a relatively soft apricot color, the upper bowl was made of transparent gauze, and the lower bowl was made of shiny satin.This time the underwear is not embroidered, but is covered with a light gold and silver olive branch metal embroidered frame. The olive branches are inlaid with round rubies, and there is a fingernail on the heart of the bodice. Large oval rubies.It can be said that this underwear spent all of Zhuhua's private money. Originally, she wanted to use olive branches for the shoulder straps, but unfortunately there were not enough rubies of good quality, so she could only make do with apricot gauze instead.

After finishing, she felt that the corset was so beautiful that she had to show it to Mrs. Sun and Yinhua nervously.

"My God, how much does it cost?" Sun exclaimed.

"A few hundred taels." Zhuhua said proudly.

"Which wife has too much money to burn, buy such a dress and go home."

Zhuhua's expression froze, and she didn't dare to tell Mrs. Sun that the person with a lot of money was in front of her, so she lied, "It was custom-made by someone, I guess I really like it."

"Silly."

Well, she felt the same way. After being poured with a basin of cold water, Zhuhua also calmed down a bit, but she did everything, of course she had to give it away, otherwise it would be a waste to put it in the store, E is rare.

After the gift was delivered, she seemed to have fulfilled a dream, and she felt at ease.She is already 13 years old, it's nothing to do stupid things at the age of thirteen or fourteen to chase stars, money can be made again, and things you want to do are not always available.It's just that she didn't expect that there would be a follow-up to this matter. She happened to be in the store that day, and when she heard that Mrs. Wu Guo came and asked to find her by name, she went to the front with a bit of anxiety and a bit of excitement.

The owner of this store is Zhuhua's business, not many people know about it, even the new girl Qiu Shi beside her doesn't know, she only brings Qiu Chu with her every time she comes to the store.Now her servants in the family are regarded as workers who have signed a long-term labor contract. The close maid is equivalent to a secretary. At the beginning of autumn, she is the foreign secretary. At the beginning of autumn, she is the secretary of life. As for Qiuyun, she is the manager transferred to the sales department. Of course, she is the chairman, and her family is her shareholder.Thinking about it this way, many relationships have been straightened out, and she has a clear idea of ​​the mode and distance between people.

Arriving at the reception room, Wu Xiangxiang, who was looking around the room, was a bit surprised when she saw a petite girl in a purple dress striding into the room.She thought that the one who would send her the corset was a lonely lady in her boudoir. Who ever wanted to find out who she was, and when she heard that she was only thirteen, Wu Xiangxiang guessed that there was some misunderstanding.After seeing the real person, she became more determined in this idea.
