The First Traitor [Rebirth]

The auspicious date that Yuan's family and Nan Consort decided earlier when discussing their marriage would be at the beginning of next month.And as the auspicious day approaches, the Yuan Mansion becomes more and more lively, and the Yuan Lu family spends all their time cracking melon seeds on this matter.

Yuan Ye was a little distressed by the matter of raising donations for the officials, and had no time to pay attention to these matters.He said to Yuan Jing: "It's really difficult to ask for money from those old foxes!" He took out an account book from the bookshelf and gave it to Yuan Jing. ledger.

There are only a few pages of this account book with the list, and the rest are blank. Yuan Jing said: "There are only a dozen or so people who donated money in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty! Well, I thought of it too."

"They either stay behind closed doors, or refuse orders, what can I do for my father!" Yuan Ye stroked his well-groomed beard, and then sighed.

Yuan actually rolled her eyes a little in her heart, why didn't she know that her father would have nothing to do?Those in court are old foxes, and her father is also an old fox. The reason for asking this question is not to find out how much information she has. !

"It's simple. There are three ways to divide the army. First, block people in the early court. Second, submit the account book to the emperor for review every day. Third, post the amount of donated money in the office of each official."

"This, I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Who dares to donate too much money? Isn't this clearly telling others that he is a corrupt official!"

"Father, don't you add two to one to make five? The amount posted is one sum, but the amount actually handed to the emperor is another sum. This will not only give the officials a reputation, but also prevent them from holding grudges against the emperor." you."

Yuan Ye thought for a while, then smiled and said, "When did you become so cunning?"

"I've always been so slick, it's just that I didn't want to do this kind of thing before, but now I want to do this kind of thing."

Yuan Ye felt that the atmosphere was a bit dull, and he couldn't figure out what had changed in Yuan.If it is said that her temperament has changed drastically, then she is still fighting against Yuan Li's mother and son as before. If it is said that she has not changed, she is now acting more deeply than before.He couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to.Seeing that it was getting late at night, he said, "You should go back early and rest, there are still five or six months until the provincial examination, so spend some time studying in the next few days!"

Yuan actually nodded in agreement. Although she still remembered the test questions of the township examination, she still needed to work hard to answer a perfect answer sheet.

In the next few days, Yuan Ye would go out early and return late, very busy, and after a few days, Yuan Ye hardly ever went out, and a lot of officials would visit him.There is no other reason, but after Yuan Ye handed the account to the emperor for review, the emperor sneered and said, "If you don't have money, you won't propose to replace it with your salary. I don't think they don't have money, but they just don't take me seriously. "

The emperor understood that it would be useless not to kill chickens and monkeys, so he donated only twelve taels of Gongbu Shangshu, and the emperor ordered people to collect some of his faults, and then impeached him, and his black hat was easily lost.In addition to him, there were seven or eight people who could not afford the same money, some of whom had been poor all their lives, so the emperor exempted his donation, and the rest were all demoted.

So, for the sake of their own black hats, they came to send money to Yuan Ye one after another.All of a sudden, the original mansion was full of people.

Yuan actually looked at the ginseng antlers, gold and silver treasures in front of him. These were gifts from many people who had offended Yuan Ye before as a show of favor while Yuan Ye was collecting donations.Yuan Ye didn't need it, so taking advantage of Yuan Lu's lack of time to attend to internal affairs, he gave most of it to Yuan Jing.With these things in front of him, Yuan actually realized that the path of revenge he took would turn him into the person he hated the most in his previous life.But so what, she has given up everything, without these, she can't go on this road.

With the active or passive cooperation of all the officials, Yuan Ye was finally able to do a good job with the emperor. The emperor was overjoyed, and seeing that the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry was still vacant, he drafted an order for him to fill it.This sudden promotion made the prince's party feel the crisis and was very dissatisfied. They donated money and Yuan Ye was promoted. What's the reason?However, Yuan Ye was currently receiving the emperor's favor, so they could only put down their airs and get close to Yuan Ye.

When Yuan Ye was in charge of the Ministry of Industry, it was the day when Fengtian Pavilion officially started construction.The location of Fengtian Pavilion is less than one mile southeast of the capital. Although it is only a pavilion, there is a Temple of Heaven and a pagoda where blessing ceremonies are held next to it, so it occupies a larger area.There was a piece of land there that belonged to the prince, and the prince donated that land in order to please the emperor, so he was appreciated by the emperor.

King Qi was slightly dissatisfied with Yuan Ye because of this, and Yuan Ye could only blame him for being short-sighted in his heart.Just when Yuan Ye was too busy with government affairs, Yuan Lu finally expressed her dissatisfaction: "Li'er's wedding day is approaching, are you really so busy that you don't even have time?"

Only then did Yuan Ye hand over the government affairs to his subordinates, and squeezed out two days to preside over the marriage between Yuan Li and Princess Fangyi.

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, it is advisable to get married.This day is the day when Princess Fangyi married Yuan Li, the capital was full of excitement, and the entire Yuan Mansion was full of joy.Yuan Li got up early in the morning, washed up, rode a horse, led the wedding party, and went there before the auspicious time.Yuan can't be idle either, as Yuan Li's "brother" he wants to follow him to be the "royal".

Yuan Li didn't want Yuan Jing to be the "royal" at first, but because Yuan Ye didn't like his group of cronies, and the custom required his younger brother to be the "royal", he had to reluctantly accept it.Furthermore, he was about to marry a bride, so he didn't think so much about who is the "Yu"!

There are several streets away from Yuan Mansion to Nan Consort's Mansion, and Princess Cheng Ya and Nan Consort have only one daughter, Princess Fangyi, so naturally it hurts a bit, which made Yuan Li and his brothers suffer a lot. Send the bride into the sedan chair.

After welcoming the bride back, because the auspicious time had not yet arrived, Yuan Li and Yuan greeted the guests at the door. Occasionally, when distinguished guests came, Yuan Ye went out to greet them in person.When the auspicious time comes, Yuan actually always feels more tired than her getting married. She just wants to sit on the sidelines and watch Yuan Li and Princess Fangyi pay homage to get married, watch Yuan Li send Princess Fangyi into the bridal chamber, and then follow the crowd at the wine table Sit down, eat, drink.

"Congratulations, congratulations..." The congratulations of the guests were endless, and Yuan Li accepted the congratulations from the guests with a red face.

Yuan Ye found that there was no joy, anger, sorrow or joy in this day, so he took advantage of his spare time and asked, "Jing'er, what are you thinking?"

"What's on my mind?" Yuan Jing asked.

Yuan Ye sighed: "Have you ever complained about your father? You also thought that one day you would be able to wear that—" before finishing speaking, Yuan Jing raised his hand and interrupted him, "Dad, don't regret it. "

"Don't regret it" was repeated many times by Yuan Ye in his previous life before his execution, and Yuan actually remembered it all the time.Now, she just said this to show her determination, since she put on this men's clothing, then unless she died, she would have no chance to wear that Fengguan Xiapei.

"Okay..." Yuan Ye's voice seemed a little old, but soon he cheered up again.

When the banquet was in progress, the guests all left one after another, and only a small number of young people refused to leave because they wanted to have a bridal chamber.Yuan Li drank a lot of wine and was encouraged to go to the bridal chamber while drunk.Yuan Ye has to go to court tomorrow and needs to rest earlier, so he asks Yuan Jing to help watch, and don't make too much noise and make the princess angry.

However, those people who made trouble in the bridal chamber had no hope, and only heard the girl next to the princess say: "The princess only allows the horse to go in alone." But some people were persistent and wanted to go forward to tease the girl, but unexpectedly, the girl didn't like it at all. Not shy or afraid, but looked directly at Yuan Li, and said, "The princess said that if the princess doesn't go in alone, then I'm afraid it will be a bridal chamber tonight."

Yuan Li couldn't figure out what the princess was thinking, and remembered Yuan Ye's lesson today. Although he married the princess, they were also in the relationship of a monarch and a minister, and he should not act arbitrarily.He also thought that making trouble in the bridal chamber would only embarrass him, so he just gave up and drove everyone away with a smile: "I will invite you to drink to make amends tomorrow, it's getting late, everyone go back!"

Everyone returned disappointed, seeing that she had nothing to do, so they left.

The next day, Yuan was still asleep, Hua Rui dutifully came over and turned her up from the bed: "Second Young Master, it's time, get up quickly."

It turned out that she only heard the three words "the time has come". The past life that seemed like a nightmare, the last moment of her life came to her mind, and she jumped out of bed in shock.Hua Rui was taken aback by her, and seeing her start to sweat, she asked concerned: "Second Young Master, what kind of nightmare did you have?"

"What time is it?" Yuan actually stared at her sullenly.

Hua Rui was startled by her eyes, and her heart skipped a beat, and she said anxiously: "The time has come for the young master and the princess to pay respects to the ancestors and serve tea."

Yuan actually regained his composure and lay down again: "When it arrives, it will arrive, it's none of my business."

"Second young master, even the third young lady appeared there, how could you not show up, the eldest lady should blame you again when she finds out." Hua Rui selectively forgot Yuan Jing's eyes just now, and chattered.

Yuan actually got up again, patted his head, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Do you think there is any maid in the mansion who disobeys the master's orders like you?"

Hua Rui gave her a white look, and helped her to dress and freshen up. Before Yuan Jing left, she suddenly said: "Don't mention the three words 'the hour is here' again."

"Ah?" Hua stamen is not sure why.

When Yuan actually entered the lobby, he saw a man and a woman wearing gorgeous clothes kneeling in front of Yuan Ye and Yuan Lu Shi offering tea from a distance.Yuan actually didn't even look at Yuan Li, but just set his eyes on that thin figure.She has long black and smooth hair, combed into a woman's bun, a waist that is full of grip, and legs that cannot be seen clearly under the skirt.Yuan actually made a gesture in his heart and came to a conclusion: the family didn't give her something delicious.

"Cough cough." Yuan Ye coughed, implying that Yuan actually put away that presumptuous gaze.Yuan actually made a slight bow to Yuan Ye and Yuan Lushi, then sat down on the chair beside him, took a sip of tea.

Yuan Lu's family has long seen that Yuan actually set his eyes on the princess, and his face is quite displeased, but she still wants to save face in such a large audience.Yuan Li and his wife offered tea and got two red envelopes respectively, then stood up and sat down on the row of chairs opposite Yuan Jing.

When the newcomer was facing Yuan Jing, she had the opportunity to look at Princess Fangyi, who was said to have been slim since she was a child, and who grew up to be the most beautiful in the world and proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.It was an oval face with a little makeup on, but it could be seen that the complexion was not good, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and the eyes were flowing, but it did not lose the glamorous appearance in the rumors.It's just that her body looks too slender and thin. I'm afraid Yuan Lu, who had hoped to hug her for three years, will be disappointed.

However, how did she feel that she had seen this person somewhere?
