White Moonlight is Not Easy To Do - Chapter 273

In the afternoon, Yingchun had already left with Sima Xuan. Lin Ruhai summoned Daiyu and told Daiyu about the marriage after retiring. Daiyu was in a panic.

In this era, it is not easy for a girl to say a word about who she is marrying. Besides, her father is not a mother after all, and it is even more inconvenient to say some things. She just remains silent.

Lin Ruhai said: “Then Duke Dingbei is many years older than you. He is truly a young man and a talented young man. It’s not a big deal for this man to be ten years older. Isn’t the prince many years older than your second sister?”

Daiyu’s mind is exquisite, but she thinks that the prince and brother-in-law will mediate the matter, and the second sister must also know. The second sister did not prevent the prince and brother-in-law from facilitating the marriage, which showed that the second sister also liked this person to marry. The person who can make the second sister, the prince and the brother-in-law, and the father all take a fancy to, will not be bad, any one of them has better knowledge and wisdom than anyone she knows, and will not harm her.

In fact, before reading the West Wing together, although Baodai and Baodai had a close relationship, they did not develop into love, but only had a vague love. The male protagonist in the fandom cut off Hu at this time. At this time, because of the butterfly effect of Yingchun, Daiyu had long since stopped thinking about Baoyu, and never thought of marrying him, and her psychological fear and resistance were also smaller.

“Everything is up to Daddy to make the decision.”

The county said that when Li Shuo heard that Lin Ruhai had verbally agreed, he hurriedly sent someone to sweep the goods in Yangzhou to prepare a generous gift, and then personally came to propose marriage in the company of Sima Xuan, a big media.

After Lin Ruhai agreed, he exchanged geng posts, received a heavy betrothal gift, and took his future son-in-law to the Lin Mansion Garden.

At this time, Daiyu and Yingchun were playing the qin and playing the flute in the pavilion, and the men and women who had just promised to get married and exchanged Geng Tie also met for the first time.

Although Daiyu is not yet eleven years old, her more than one year of martial arts practice has made her more slender than before, and she has the feeling of being a girl at this age.

This handsome, graceful and cold state is one in ten thousand. I don’t know how stunning she will be in another two or three years. The goddess is arrogant, but kind-hearted, and the standard for choosing a mate is only for intimacy.

Daifan’s self-disciplined brother, who has never been married before, crosses the Red Mansion to betrothed to the goddess. At this time, seeing her so extraordinary, his heart is even more joyful. Men also often say that they like a kind-hearted and talented woman, but if this woman is extraordinary, rare, beautiful, and graceful, will the man be unhappy?

He suppressed himself from giggling, for fear that he would look wretched and leave a bad impression on the little fiancee.

“See the princess! I’ve seen the young lady!” Li Shuo bowed his head and bowed to them.

Daiyu Yili blessed her body: “See the prince, see the prince.”

Yingchun had met him a long time ago, so he smiled generously and said, “Ding Beihou doesn’t need to be more polite! It’s our sisters who are here to interfere with your business, so let’s accompany you less.”

In fact, there is no mistress in the Lin Mansion. Yingchun and Daiyu play here to meet the two unmarried men and women who have decided to marry, but no one will say anything about it.

Yingchun and Daiyu left holding hands, while Siqi and Xueyan followed.

Li Shuo couldn’t help but turn his head and glance at it, but it would take a few years to get married, and even if he could get married now, he would be a beast if the marriage was consummated.

…

“Good sister, I didn’t lie to you, did I? Such a good husband, after passing this village, there is no such shop. It is rare that he is an idiot. If you marry in the future, will he not be in your hands? Dingbei Houfu There is no complicated relationship, there is only one old mother, Tai Laojun has suffered a lot, and his background is ordinary, and it is no big deal for my sister to serve her like an ancestor for a few years…”

“Second sister, you still said it!”

Yingchun said: “This is a big happy event, why can’t I say it? Look at me, I was given a marriage that day, and I accepted it generously. There is only one thing, you have to take advantage of the ‘small Wuxiang Gong’ before you get married. After the practice is completed, the realm in the future will be higher. Don’t worry, I can also let the prince pass on some internal skills to your fiance, he is still young, and it is still too late to practice now.”

Duan Yu didn’t know how to kung fu before he was twenty, but Hong Fu Qi Tian was the ultimate expert in all corners of the world. Li Shuo’s kung fu has its own mature body, and what is missing is a higher internal strength.

Yingchun not only likes Daiyu, but also because the system said at the beginning, to gain the heart of the protagonist and become friends with him, everything can be done with less effort.

…

It is said that Jia Lian was originally assigned by Mother Jia and Madam Wang to go south, and after Lin Ruhai went, she brought the Lin family’s huge property back to the Rong Mansion. But Uncle Lin, who clearly said that he couldn’t get out of bed because of his illness, didn’t die at this time. After the inspection of the salt and the censor’s residence was not restricted, the lost Jia Lian lingered in the fireworks field.

Jia Lian also heard that the New Imperial Party headed by Sima Xuan had made a drastic move in Jiangsu, and even Jinling’s old relative Zhen’s family had collapsed. People like Jia Lian could not control the affairs of the officialdom.

This day, Yingchun finally had time, and invited Jia Lian to speak in the other courtyard. Seeing that he seemed to be lost and subdued in female sex, he liked Jia Lian’s Yingchun more than Jia Baoyu and couldn’t help shaking his head secretly. It was inevitable that he had a consensus with Jia Baoyu. – What a mess!

Yingchun said: “Uncle Lin’s condition has improved, and brother Lian can also send someone to send a letter to Beijing to teach the old lady to feel at ease.

Jia Lian said: “It’s a good thing that Uncle Lin’s condition has improved. If Uncle is safe, I’d better take Sister Lin to the Rong Mansion.”

Yingchun said: “You don’t have to worry about this. If Uncle Lin’s official account comes down, he is afraid that he will also go to Beijing. Besides, Uncle Lin has already made a marriage plan for Sister Lin, and he has no plans to know.”

Jia Lian said in surprise, “Sister Lin and Baoyu have already arranged a marriage?”

Yingchun said: “It’s not Baoyu, it’s General Li, Marquis of Dingbei. Brother Lian should also pay attention to his words and deeds. Although Sister Lin and Baobao are like brothers and sisters, they are now grown up, and Sister Lin is already engaged, so these jokes are not easy to talk about. already.”

Jia Lian was dumbfounded and said, “Okay, why did you suddenly get engaged? This is about my uncle and sister Lin, and I don’t even know it yet.”

Jia Yingchun said: “Brother Lian also said that! Where did you go during those two nights? You are the wife and nephew of the Lin family and sister Lin’s closest cousin. When you come to propose marriage, you should also accompany Uncle Lin to meet your future cousin-in-law. You are so rude to the Duke of Dingbei, which makes Uncle Lin and Sister Lin look bad, and most importantly, loses the face of Rongfu. I It’s your own sister. When I become a princess, the lord treats me wholeheartedly. Sister Lin is also closer to you and sister-in-law Feng. She is going to be Mrs. Dingbei, and the Duke of Dingbei also values ​​her very much. Three points can be done. These two brother-in-laws have been promoted one or two times. They have already found a real job and can do some serious things. Speaking of which, you are the heir of the Rong Mansion, but in the entire Rong Mansion, who takes your brother seriously? Now? To say that in the past, no one took me seriously, but I can marry and be a mistress, can my brother?”

Jia Lian was terrified, and said with a long sigh: “It’s my brother, isn’t it, sister, don’t be angry with yourself!”

Jia Yingchun said: “I also mentioned to Sister-in-law Feng that it’s useless for a man to manage trivial matters in the house! I’m also married now, so don’t think I don’t know, what have you been doing these days!”

Seeing Wang Fei’s sister’s arrogance, Jia Lian knelt down and said, “I smeared my sister’s ears. Damn it. My sister is off.”

Jia Yingchun said: “Father is like this, and you are like this, how many years can the Rong Mansion last? In ten years, what will you eat and wear? Don’t rely on me and Sister Lin, a married daughter can’t control her family’s food and clothing. You didn’t look down on me when you were young, and I didn’t want to care about you, but it was just because you and Sister-in-Law Feng were in charge of a marriage for me. How many grievances I’ve suffered in the past have only broken my teeth and swallowed blood. , I have to recognize your brother. But you still can’t figure it out!”

Jia Lian was just begging and begging, “Sister calm down.” He could laugh at slutty women and share with Jia She and Jia Zhen, but he never used it to contaminate the sisters at home. .

“Let’s not talk about your sleeping with a prostitute, how long are you going to serve at the second uncle and second aunt? What benefits can they give you? You are the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, do you need to please them in order to succeed in ascending the title? You If you have the ability, you can be born and serve in front of the prince, you should get it, can you be missing? The Dingbei Hou is as old as you, and his background is a hundred times worse than yours.

Jia Lian said, “Sister, how can I compare with the Duke of Dingbei?”

“I’m a prince, so my grandfather is still a prince! If you’re like this, don’t call me my sister. I don’t care about you anymore.”

“Sister, you can’t ignore me! I’ll change, can’t I change?” Jia Lian is a person who can be proud of her cousin when she becomes an imperial concubine, not to mention that her own sister is married to Prince Yu. He and Sister Feng regretted ignoring Yingchun in the past, but they were also proud that Jia Lian had become the eldest brother-in-law of the prince. When they returned home in the three dynasties, Sima Xuan treated Jia She and Jia Lian a little differently, and knew how close they were.

Yingchun said, “Are you really changing?”

“I change……”

Yingchun said: “Okay. Then I will teach you again.”

“Sister, please speak.”

Yingchun said: “You must have known that Jinling Zhen’s family is over, so many officials in Jiangsu have been imprisoned, and they will be escorted back to Beijing in a few days. After entering Beijing, if an official reveals something, we Jia The family is afraid that it will become the Zhen family. I will find a few people for you, bring some money on your body, and go to Jinling. If there is anything shady about the Jinling clansmen and servants, don’t be involved in the Rongfu, you go Check it out, let me know. I’m a married woman, so it’s fine, but as the heir, if something goes wrong in the future, you’ll be careful not to clean it up.”

Jia Lian was beaten repeatedly by the sister and had to say yes, and no longer dared to bring the servants from the Jia family, but brought a few warriors from the palace to Jinling to handle family affairs.

Sima Xuan also had to review and organize the files and various account books, and according to Yingchun’s suggestion, he wrote down two copies of all the files. Although Sima Xuan didn’t have to do it himself, he couldn’t move freely if he watched this.

It was Yingchun, who secretly disguised himself, and brought Daiyu to the Slender West Lake to play. There was also a young lady from the Cao Gang, Pan Xiuqing, and the three girls visiting the Slender West Lake on a painting boat. Crab on the table, really happy. Even Qian Manniang, the youngest daughter of Siqi, Zijuan, Xueyan and Pan Xiuqing’s uncle, was also very interested.

Although Pan Xiuqing and Qian Manniang did not have the cultural literacy of the girls from the Tanhualang family and the old foxes, they were the daughters of the gang leader and the rudder leader of the Cao Gang, and they were well-informed in the rivers and lakes since childhood.

Pan Xiuqing and Qian Manniang also talked about what they saw in the rivers and lakes, and Daiyu was also very interesting.

Caobang is actually a very disciplined and organized organization. Don’t be smart to change its existing structure. In fact, the current organization and discipline are also formed by them through long-term practice. Productivity determines the relationship of production. Without the economic foundation of later generations, no matter how good the superstructure is, there is no soil.

Yingchun was filled with emotion when she heard the hardships of Caobang’s lower-level workers who ran boats or transported them, and Daiyu also opened her eyes to understand the suffering of the people.

Daiyu said: “Sister Pan, have you ever thought about going out and trying?” Daiyu also heard Yingchun say that the outside world is very big, and she is the daughter of the Lin family, and she grew up in the Rongfu, and she has seen Western things. , whether it is a Western-style clock or a diorama, those are all very valuable things.

Pan Xiuqing said, “Where are you going?”

Yingchun said: “I heard that doing business with Xiyang can get a lot of wealth.”

Qian Manniang suddenly said: “I also ran to Guangzhou, the so-called ‘five silks and eight silks, wide satin are good, and silver and money are piled up in thirteen lines’. The people who did business with the Western world were all official businessmen, and they said that the Wang family in Jinling was in charge of it back then. To do business with Westerners, it is hard to calculate with money. I heard that it was earlier, that the Wang family was the home of the sea, and finally belonged to the imperial court. Our Cao Gang is not the same as that. “

Thinking that Xue Baoqin was a merchant girl and had been to many places since she was a child, this Qian Manniang had never been overseas, but she had been to all the places that Jianghe Caoyun could go.

Yingchun sighed: “The Wang family used to be pirates. After this dynasty settled the Central Plains, they surrendered to the imperial court. At that time, there was no one in the imperial court who was more open to Western trade than them.”

To put it bluntly, this is a technical job, and it is also a job that requires IQ, emotional intelligence, experience, capital, connections, courage, and luck.

Without family origins, connections, and the permission of the imperial court, without this ability, how can one hold a job in foreign trade?

Cao Gang is a small number of lower-level scholars, working people, and people from the rivers and lakes.

It’s like opening up to the outside world in modern times. Some people make a lot of money, but farmers are still the poorest group. In modern times, we can only improve rural education—this is the most basic, or carry out a poverty alleviation project, but there has never been a person who has climbed to the “upper society” by strong poverty alleviation.

Therefore, in addition to one’s birth, one’s wealth, high and poor, can only be achieved by one’s own practice and courage to face failure, and there is no savior.

Of course, being a gang leader in the Cao Gang is considered a rich man, and the top executives of any group will not be too poor.

Yingchun took back his thoughts, realized that he had committed an old problem, and then thought about things that could not be solved by human beings. If you mess with it, you will be exhausted for the rest of your life to the point of vomiting blood.

In the past, Yingchun was eager to conquer the world, and was keen to promote the civilization of the Central Plains to the golden age of colonialism with her own body, but after she became the Jade Emperor for 60,000 years, she looked down on these things a lot, and paid more attention to the life in front of her. . Because she has seen the rise and fall of human civilization five times when she was the Jade Emperor. Whether it is the prehistoric era or the era of industrial civilization, the fittest survives. Only after seeing these, will you cherish the present more, behind the lively, optimistic and positive, the foundation is calm.

Yingchunguo is not tangled, and only has a good day to play. When they parted, Pan Xiuqing and Qian Manniang exchanged gifts and handkerchiefs with Yingchun and Daiyu. Yingchun also asked that if Pan Xiuqing and Qian Manniang went to the capital, they would be guests at the palace, and she would be able to do their best.

If the Caobang has any difficulties, they can write to her, as long as they do not violate the law and morality, and do what they can, they will not refuse.

Pan Xiuqing and Qian Manniang were also wise women, and they thanked them generously, but they wouldn’t open their mouths like this because of Yingchun’s kindness.

…

Lin Ruhai finally got the approval of the new emperor, and appointed a new inspector of salt. Lin Ruhai handed over official documents, accounts and the current salt tax and silver warehouse.

Lin Ruhai has been the censor of salt inspection for nearly ten years, but he still has the false title of “Doctor of Lantai Temple”.

In this dynasty, the “Capital Chayuan” was called “Lantai Temple” elegantly, and the censors of the left and right capitals were the chief officers. Ordinary jinshi started his career from the sixth or seventh rank of Shujishi, but Lin Ruhai was a top-ranking scholar and a famous scholar, so he entered the official position from the fifth rank, and in seven or eight years, he was promoted to the third rank deputy imperial envoy. In two years, the honorary title of “Lantai Temple Doctor” was added, and he was appointed as the real post of Yangzhou Salt Inspector.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai looked at the title, and it was also from the second-rank senior officer. He has already served in office, and he has not died in office, so the court will not give him a posthumous title. But neither Lin Ruhai nor Lin Daiyu probably wanted a posthumous title, because no one wanted to die.

But if he can pass the new emperor and the emperor, the court should still have grace when he returns to the capital.

Lin Ruhai handed over the position, Sima Xuan also sorted out everything, and everyone went north in a mighty manner.

Many Caogang ships were hired to transport their property in Jiangsu, and the Caogang members also earned this non-bandit “logistics fee”.

Sima Xuan, Yingchun, Li Shuo, Lin Ruhai, and Li Chong worked together to do this. Although they offended the bureaucracy, their reputation among the people was very good, and they would not just take advantage of them for not giving money. The people who contributed have received money one after another for more than a month, and the ones who really didn’t get it are that the small group has not yet been clearly identified, so I can’t blame them.

Therefore, the Cao Gang also attaches great importance to this time, which can be said to be an unprecedented **** task, and cannot go out of business. People in the Cao Gang on the Jianghu Road in Jiangnan and Central Plains also greeted them.

Sima Xuan, Li Shuo, Yingchun, and Lin Ruhai have done too much work. There are 22 million taels of silver and silver notes, 1.8 million taels of gold ingots, books, jewelry, antiques, ornaments, calligraphy and painting, silk and silk. , countless precious medicines. The ship at the front of the fleet has left Jiangsu Province, and Li Chong at the back is still supervising the loading of the ship at the wharf.

The emperor’s treasury was so poor that he didn’t even bother to come here.

A few days later, Sima Xuan and Yingchun had already arrived in Kyoto ahead of Li Shuo, Lin Ruhai and their daughter, escorting the prisoner to the capital. The prison car was transported to the Tianjiao and handed over to the Dali Temple.

Before returning to the palace to wash up, Sima Xuan took Yingchun to the carriage sent by the palace and entered the palace to face the saint.

The emperor will never suspect that Sima Xuan has a rebellion now, except that he has supported him in the past, but no one with such ambition would do such a thing that offends more than half of the officials in the world, and Sima Xuan does not have military power now. .

If those officials had opinions on Xin, their opinions on Sima Xuan would not be less than their opinions on him. Every day at the father’s place, someone went to sue Sima Xuan’s little black.

Sima Xuan recounted the past and the current situation in Jiangsu, and the emperor asked again, “Is the account set up by my younger brother and sister?”

Yingchun said: “Back to the emperor, it’s not that I am a woman who wants to do politics. There were too many things at that time, and the people around the prince had problems again, so I would help.”

The emperor said: “Eleventh brother didn’t say that, saying that you not only found the general account of the Cao Gang, but also caught the tainted witness.”

Yingchun smiled and said, “At that time, I was really a blind cat and I met a dead mouse. First I met Gang Master Pan and the others, and then I met Zhu Ming and the others, and then I got things done.”

The emperor smiled and said, “Looking at it this way, even though my younger brother and sister are women, they are also lucky stars!”

Yingchun said: “If I were a lucky star, it would also be the emperor’s grace. The prince and I just happened to be husband and wife, and we cooperated with each other. If the emperor is happy, reward us with some treasures…”

“Nianxuan!” Sima Xuan glared at her, “As I said before, when you can’t face the Holy Spirit, it’s unruly!”

The emperor smiled and said: “My younger brother and sister are still young. Although they are a little naughty, they are not harmless. As for the reward, I have to think about it. My younger brother and sister will go to the emperor and the empress dowager first.”

The emperor doesn’t care whether his younger brother’s woman is under his younger brother’s bow, the younger brother can do it himself, and the most important thing is that this right-hand man can share his worries.

Yingchun knew that their brothers had something to discuss, but left the imperial study first.

Yingchun asked Si Qi, who was waiting outside the palace gate, to go to Shangyang Palace with a large backpack.

The empress dowager and the emperor did not live together, but they knew in advance that they would return to Beijing today and would enter the palace to greet them. At this time, the empress dowager fell here.

The inner minister Dai Quan led Yingchun into the main hall, and saw that even the empress was carefully sitting aside.

There is a plump female Shi standing beside the queen, who is not Jia Yuanchun? She hasn’t seen her for a few months, and it looks like she’s been promoted.

“See the father, see the queen mother, see the queen mother!”

“Get up.” The emperor’s voice could not tell whether he liked or disliked, and said: “Why didn’t Xuan’er come?”

Yingchun said: “He didn’t know that the emperor was waiting for him, so he chatted with the emperor.”

The emperor snorted coldly. Although the emperor was chosen by the emperor himself, Sima Xuan put the emperor before him in his heart.

“I heard that you have made a big noise in Jiangsu.”

Yingchun nodded: “It’s quite a big movement. We went to Yangzhou in a small way. We were staying in an inn, and we wanted to make an unannounced visit for a few days. As a result, some people came to set off cigarettes at night, and then set fire to the door. I heard that they were demons and solved it, otherwise we will all become roast suckling pigs.”

The Empress Dowager first burst out laughing, thinking about how dangerous it was, and asked, “It’s also a blessing that Eleven is capable.”

Yingchun said again: “At that time more than forty assassins came, and all the eighteen warriors we brought with us were sent out to investigate the case, and there were only two servants around, thanks to the outstanding martial arts of the prince!”

Shang Huangdao: “Old Eleven can beat forty people by himself? Brag.”

Yingchun said: “I also helped him fight. At that time, the king captured the thief first, and then we escaped. If the assassination succeeded, only the few of us would suffer. Later, Zhen Yingjia and Wu Rong came up with a plan to blow up the dike. If it is done, millions of people will die. Fortunately, we mobilized the people to carry out a vigorous **** protection operation, but only two dykes were blown up by the gangsters, and thousands of acres of fertile fields were damaged. Fortunately, they were all comforted. “

The Empress Dowager had fought with Concubine Zhen Gui for decades in previous years, and she could not intervene in who the emperor favored. When she heard Zhen Yingjia’s desperate plan, she couldn’t help covering her mouth, and she always felt relieved. Anyway, the Empress Dowager’s family had nothing to do with Nanbian.

Sima Xuan’s mother died after giving birth to her, and the queen mother didn’t hate her so much. At this time, when she saw Yingchun talking about Zhen Yingjia, although she knew that Yingchun was not as gentle as other princesses, she liked it more.
