Coming out of the imperial concubine, I walked in the imperial garden, and now there are more flowers in the imperial garden. The flowers cultivated by the imperial garden itself, Western flowers, can be said to be full of flowers, just like the women in the harem.
I was walking in the imperial garden, and found a noise in front of me, I frowned, there are too many women, it's really not good, I can't find peace anywhere. "Yang Yong, go back to the palace and change clothes, and accompany me for a walk outside the palace."
"No." Yang Yong nodded, not looking at the group of Yingying and Yanyan women in front of him.
As the foot of the emperor, the capital is more lively than ten years ago. Another lively place is Jiangnan, the land of fish and rice. Although I use seawater to dry salt and curb the salt merchants in Jiangnan, Jiangnan is still prosperous. In Haikou of other countries, the south of the Yangtze River is only richer than before, and the capital city is not bad. The two places are separated by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and they are equally wealthy. However, there are still some people in remote areas who still have a difficult life.
"Yang Yong, what do you think when you look at the bustling capital city?" I asked as I looked at the crowds coming and going on the street.
"These are all thanks to your majesty. When the first emperor was in power, even the capital city did not have such a scene. Since your majesty ascended the throne, he has recuperated and developed his national power. The country has also seen prosperity." The entire country has put in all of its energy and effort, and for Daxia to have what it is today, His Majesty does not know how much he has paid.
I smiled and said: "Old man, when did I ask about my achievements? I asked about the prosperity of the capital. What can you tell? I don't know about my achievements." Looking at Yang Yong again, he turned his gaze to the street.
Yang Yong touched his nose, expressing his innocence.
The prosperity of the capital and the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River are just individual areas. The northwest is high and the crops are not easy to grow, and the south is full of smog and poisonous insects. They are not easy to deal with. is really rich.
"Sir, do you want to listen to the music?" Just as the emperor was fascinated by the busy street downstairs, an old man walked over with an erhu in his hand and his own. It was not known whether it was his daughter or granddaughter. asked.
The guard standing aside directly stopped the two of them, and was about to send them away, but I stopped and said, "Let them come and sing."
The guard nodded and let the two go, but kept his eyes on the two, for fear that they would do something bad.
I carefully observed the old and the young. The Great Xia Dynasty was more tolerant of women. Women were not raised in boudoirs. I studied the history. After the Great Xia perished, it was replaced by a Qing Dynasty Yes, this dynasty was established after the entry of the minority nationalities in the northwest. In order to better manage the Han people, Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism was used. One of the reasons for such admiration, after all, there is no harm without comparison.
Although the old and the young are dressed in simple and simple clothes, they have a plain smile on their faces, not the kind of silence that lives in a low life and is overwhelmed by the burden of life.
The old man sat on the side, set up the erhu, nodded to the girl beside him, and began to hold the erhu, and the girl began to sing, I listened carefully, the girl sang a song in praise of my achievements, I couldn't help laughing up.
At the end of the song, I looked at the old man and said, "Is this your granddaughter or daughter? She sings very well, and you also play the erhu well. How many years have you been playing?".
The old man said: "It's been 40 years. The old man was born in poverty. When he was ten years old, he was sent to an opera troupe to make a living. There was a master there to teach him. The old man followed the troupe all over the world to make a living. There is a craft that is really good, and the old man still relies on him to earn a living.” The old man stroked the erhu that had been with him for 40 years. This erhu has been repaired and repaired a lot.
"There is a craft that is really good, now you are not with the troupe?" Zhen asked.
"I didn't follow. Since the current His Majesty came to the throne, the old man has not followed the troupe. The old man's son and daughter-in-law died early, leaving a granddaughter for the old man and his wife. The old man was reluctant to send his granddaughter to the troupe, so he came out to earn money. His Majesty is strict with the money, and at the feet of the emperor, those rich people dare not do those things that bully men and women. When the granddaughter is older and saves enough dowry, let her get married in a good way." The old man's eyes are all Satisfaction with current life.
The old man remembered that His Majesty hadn't ascended the throne yet, when the late Emperor was in power, at that time in Daxia, the life of the common people was miserable, if it wasn't for the unbearable life, how could his parents send him into the troupe, the life of the troupe It's not easy, from the head of the troupe to the lower class, Yu is a lower class person, life is not easy for Yu, and the pressure of competition in theatrical troupe is also great, the survival of theatrical troupe is mostly supported by dignitaries, and the life of the famous actor is not good. Fortunately, they had to grasp the hearts of these dignitaries, even if famous actors were often tossed by those dignitaries and couldn't make it to the stage, how could he be willing to send his granddaughter to the theater troupe.
His granddaughter is also considered lucky, just when he was thinking about whether to send his granddaughter to the theater troupe for a living, His Majesty ascended the throne, and he spent all his savings in the early years to buy a small yard in the capital and finally saw the results , now the housing prices in the capital are getting higher day by day. His small courtyard needs nearly 500 taels of silver to sell now. It is no problem to do a little thing to support his granddaughter. After they are all a hundred years old, this The small yard can also be given to the granddaughter, and the granddaughter will not be looked down upon by her husband's family.
I nodded and asked, "How much money can you earn in a day?".
"Basically, there are 500 coins per day. Sometimes, some kind-hearted nobles will reward you with more money. The owner of this restaurant is kind-hearted and doesn't ask for our dividends, so life is pretty good," the old man said to the old man. The current life is still very satisfactory. The owner of the restaurant has a very deep background, so generally people who come to eat will not make trouble in the restaurant, and basically no one will touch his granddaughter. This restaurant was selected by him after a long time of investigation. Otherwise, he would rather go to the pier to play alone. Although he will earn less and work harder, he still dare not be sloppy with his granddaughter's reputation.
I nodded. This restaurant was opened secretly. Naturally, the inside is still very well behaved, but other restaurants are hard to say. In order to attract customers, some restaurants will deliberately find some good-looking women to sing and even watch If you win the prize, you can take it directly on the spot. Some women are lucky enough to be spotted by the young master in charge and take them back to be concubines. More still stay in the restaurant and wait for the next customer. Such women, like those brothels woman, no different.
After chatting with the old man for a while, he gestured to Yang Yong, and Yang Yong took out an ingot of silver from his bosom and gave it to the old man.
The old man was surprised, he quickly waved his hands, and said: "Great man, this is too much", the old man felt a little hot, this ingot of silver is worth ten taels, when did he meet a nobleman who gave so much money.
"It's okay, just accept it. When your granddaughter gets married, buy her some good things." I had a great chat with this old man. It is also necessary to understand the aspirations of the people at the bottom from time to time. Isn't there those things in future generations? Does the country & home & leader & leader condolences to the poor people?I'm just learning a thing or two.
"Thank you, nobleman" The old man did not refuse when he heard the nobleman in front of him. When he was in the theater troupe, he had seen those high-ranking officials spend a lot of money, even more than now, but it was only those famous actors. , but what famous actors pay is not just talking to those high-ranking officials, a little saliva, and some time, but what they pay is the price of their bodies. Low, worse than ordinary people, if you die, you will die, and no one will care about the life and death of an actor, even if this person used to be a benefactor of the actor.
The old man took the reward silver and planned to take his granddaughter away, but the granddaughter didn't pay attention to his actions, but looked at the nobleman in front of him with dazed eyes. He reached out and pulled his granddaughter away.
Being dragged away by such a big move by her grandfather, the girl came back to her senses, her whole face turned red, and the old man didn't care about the girl's current thoughts, and only whispered: "Shut up and follow me."
The girl didn't dare to speak, so she could only leave with her grandfather. When she left, she quietly turned her head to look at the nobleman, and found that the nobleman didn't pay attention to her. She was a little frustrated, turned her head, and followed her grandfather.
"Your Majesty's love luck is really strong. If the women in the harem find out, I'm afraid they will be angry again." Yang Yong joked when he saw the pair of grandparents and grandchildren leaving.
"That girl is still so young, but she is just a young admirer. What good things do I have, except for power, I don't understand style, there are too many things I can't do, sometimes I have to plot against the harem, maybe I am a good king, But he must not be a good husband." From the moment I ascended the throne, it was doomed that I would not be a good husband.
Yang Yong sighed, "Your Majesty is also helpless." Until now, let alone the women in the harem, even the Empress Dowager, can't get close to His Majesty's heart. The Queen Mother and Your Majesty have already had a rift. Well, the rift between the Queen Mother and Your Majesty will become bigger and bigger. If the Queen Mother can grasp the balance between the two sons, that's fine, otherwise...
I smiled, the ups and downs in it, only I understand.
"Grandpa" the girl panicked when she saw her grandfather's gloomy face.
"From tomorrow onwards, you don't come to the restaurant anymore. You are not too young, and you should be getting married. With the ten taels of silver given by the nobleman just now, your dowry will be settled." The old man said coldly face said.
"Grandfather..." the girl cried out, feeling uneasy all over.
Seeing his granddaughter's uneasy appearance, the old man couldn't bear it, but he still hardened his heart and said: "Earlier you said that you would come out to sing with me, and that you would never be seduced by high-ranking officials. If there is any sign, you will go home and prepare for marriage, so I just let you out, now your heart is messed up, you have to go back."
"Grandfather, I didn't..." The girl's face was pale, and her words became even paler.
"I know that since His Majesty came to the throne, women's eyes have changed from gentle men to heroic men, but girl, you have to know your position. The nobleman just now is indeed brave, powerful, and rich in family, but You are not worthy of him, you will not be his official wife, you can only be a concubine, do you know how the mistresses of those big families manage the concubines? What do those concubines have in front of the mistresses and those handymen? The difference is that even if you are lucky enough to give birth to a son, what status does the bastard have in those big families? In the future, he will only be the housekeeper of the big family. The mistress will never let the bastard stand out. Even ordinary people have the opportunity to take the imperial examination. What if your child is smart and can pass the exam? You marry an ordinary person and live an ordinary life. Don’t think about the rest.”
When the girl was told by her grandfather, tears flowed down her cheeks.
The old man couldn't bear it when he saw this, but he still wanted to make it clear to his granddaughter, so that he could be worthy of his dead son and daughter-in-law. "And this is the case that this nobleman is in charge. Grandfather has seen too many noblemen who are unwilling to take responsibility at all. In the end, what will happen to these people who threw themselves into the arms of noblemen, do you know? Grandpa doesn't want you to leave those people at all. the old way".
The girl cried even more fiercely. After all, she was only 13 years old. Her restless heart shrank back when her grandfather said this, but she still begged her grandfather to let her come out to sing. After all, the court has stipulated that , you must be at the age of 13 to get married, and there are at least five years left. She is reluctant to let her grandfather work hard for the family alone, but she met the first man who made her heart beat when she was [-] years old, and she never met again Now, even though she and her husband lived together for the rest of their lives, the figure of that man still occupied a small corner of her heart.
I didn't tell An Yi when I came out, unexpectedly, I still ran into An Yi.
An Yi was taken aback when he saw the emperor, and hurried over, planning to pay his respects, but was stopped. "Grandpa, why are you here?"
I saw An Yi looked around nervously, afraid that I didn't look like a dark guard, it was a little funny. "I've been bored at home for too long, come out for a walk and relax."
"Then I have to tell my subordinates, although the capital is still very safe, but I'm not afraid of [-], just in case."
"Since when have you been so careful, I'll come here to relax and tell you what to do. Maybe I've met some kind of affair, and I won't be snatched away by your big boss Xiao." I amplified my voice, gave a dark look, and you Do you want me to expose my identity?
"Isn't it? Boss Xiao doesn't know, just now this master is very lucky..." Sitting at the side, he has been paying attention to a man coming over here. He is suffering from not knowing how to get in touch with this man. I heard this person say such a sentence. "Boss Xiao, I don't know who this son is? I don't want to recommend it to my younger brother."
He has been paying attention to this young man for a long time. He thinks he is a local snake in the capital, but he has never seen this man, but judging by his clothes and temperament, he does not look like an unknown person, which makes him want to come and get to know him a little bit. But this young man sat in the restaurant for so long, only looking at the people coming downstairs from the window, and the only thing he paid attention to was the grandson who just sang, sent them away, and continued to look out the window, which made him a little helpless. It occurred to him that this person was someone Boss Xiao knew.
An Yi turned around, looked at the person who came, raised his eyebrows, "Second Master Chen, why are you free to come today? I didn't ask my servants to inform me, I have to buy you a drink anyway."
"Boss Xiao is so busy, how can you be ashamed?" The visitor pulled out the fan from his waist and fanned it.
He secretly smiled, and politely said: "Busy is busy, but Mr. Chen is not someone else, so he naturally wants to take time to entertain him."
Chen Wenxuan shook his hand, turned his gaze to the emperor, and said, "Boss Xiao, haven't you introduced me yet? Who is this? Judging by the clothes and temperament, he doesn't look like an unknown person. My younger brother likes to be with this kind of extraordinary person the most." To deal with people, so that my father will not say that I smell of copper in the future."
"My surname is Huang, and I am the nephew of the great general. I just came from beyond the Great Wall, and I want to see the bustling capital city. I don't know which family the young master is from," I introduced myself.
The general's nephew?Chen Wenxuan frowned. He had never heard that the general had a relative named Huang. Chen Wenxuan quietly looked at this person, with a decent smile on his face, and said: "My surname is Chen, and my name is Wenxuan. My uncle is from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Shangshu, as for my father, hehe, needless to say, our family relies on my uncle, what about me? Unlike my father, my father only knows about romance, but I like to do business, so my father sees me. Said that I smell of copper", Chen Wenxuan shook his fan, and there was no dissatisfaction with his father's evaluation on his face, but he looked a little complacent.
I smiled, and as soon as Chen Wenxuan introduced himself, I knew who he was. Chen Min, Minister of the Household Department, had a younger brother who was a direct relative. The younger brother was raised somewhat noble and liked to play the piano. Now he works in the Ministry of Rites. Chen Min Min gave birth to all sons, but this younger brother, except for two sons, a legitimate son and a bastard, gave birth to daughters. This Chen Wenxuan is Chen Min's younger brother's bastard.
After all, I have so many years of experience. As soon as Chen Wenxuan introduced himself, I knew Chen Wenxuan's consciousness. All the external affairs are also related to his scheming. This person is definitely not stupid. He uses his talent as a businessman to let others evaluate him as similar to the Minister of the Household Department. Think, only he knows.
He did this to make Chen Min's younger brother feel guilty for him, to make Chen Min feel close to him, and for his aunt and brother to feel at ease with him. The second room of the family, people in the capital probably only know the second young master of the Chen family, when did they pay attention to the eldest young master of the Chen family?
"When did Young Master Huang come to the capital? He speaks well in Beijing." Chen Wenxuan squinted his eyes, feeling that this person did not seem to be from outside the Great Wall.
"I was originally from the capital city, but later my family moved outside the Great Wall. Although I have forgotten the dialect of the capital city, I can still speak the standard language when I return to the capital. I can speak the foreign language well. Do you want to hear it, Mr. Chen?" I looked at with a smile on my face. Looking at Chen Wenxuan, young man, your doubts and ambitions are already on the verge of coming out.
"I haven't heard of the language outside the Great Wall yet, my son, tell me, so that I can also experience it."
I smiled, told a story that was spread outside the Great Wall, and finally sang a little tune outside the Great Wall.
"I'm convinced." Chen Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief. Could it be that he was wrong, but this person's jade pendant is indeed like a royal product, and Boss Xiao is very respectful to this person, saying that Boss Xiao has a royal background. Could it be that he really wants to wrong.
I smiled, I am no stranger to these things, although I only stayed outside the Great Wall for three years, but three years is enough.
Through Chen Wenxuan, I asked about some things beyond the Great Wall without any trace. In fact, there are some things I really don’t know. After all, I have been away from the Great Wall for so many years, but no matter how I say it, I am only in my 20s than Chen Wenxuan, and I have never been to the Great Wall. People who are more familiar with it should understand, a word of truth and falsehood is enough to dispel his doubts.
After dispelling Chen Wenxuan's doubts, Chen Wenxuan was not very willing to deal with it. After talking for a long time, Chen Wenxuan got up to leave.
Looking secretly at Chen Wenxuan's leaving back, he raised his eyebrows and said, "The subordinates thought he was a young man who could make a difference in the capital? Now it seems that he is still too young."
"This young man has good eyesight, but it's a pity that he needs to practice more." After taking a sip of tea, I turned my gaze out of the window. After watching for so long, the law and order in the capital is still good, at least I haven't seen it yet. When it comes to bullying men and women.
"What is Your Majesty looking at?" An Yi asked.
"Look at the people below, what kind of plots of selling one's body to bury one's father often appear in the scriptures, why haven't you seen it in the capital now, and those bullying men and women, I haven't seen it yet," Zhen said.
He smiled secretly, and said: "What do you think you are looking at? At the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the important place of the capital, the patrolling army is on duty round after round. Where are those who sell their bodies to bury their fathers? Also, this is the capital city. A plaque came down, and seven of the ten people had official positions on their bodies, and three of the in-laws behind them also had backgrounds. Except for Lengtouqing who just came to the capital, who dares to act wild in the capital, you , I should read less scripts in the future," An Yi joked.
As soon as An Yi finished speaking, I turned my gaze to An Yi, with disgust in my eyes, I pointed my finger and said: "You said, in the important place of the capital, at the foot of the emperor, prostitutes, bullying men and women, all appeared." .
Dark turned his eyes to the direction the emperor pointed, and his whole body was not well.
"Hehe, let's go, Boss Xiao, let's go and have a look." After waiting for so long to appear, I have to go and see it anyway. I took the lead and stood up and walked out of the restaurant. As for not paying for the drink , isn't the owner of the restaurant here?
"Little lady, let's go with the young master." A man with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes, wearing white clothes, holding a fan in his hand, fanning from time to time, followed by a few servants, in the story book, bullying standard.
I watched this scene with great interest, and the surrounding people also gathered around to watch the excitement. When the patrolling army came, this excitement should not be watched.
A trace of disgust flashed in the eyes of the woman who was kneeling on the ground and selling her body. She didn't want to be with such a man, and she would have to vomit all the food overnight, but if it wasn't for her low status, why would she come up with such a method.
"Little lady, could it be that you don't want to? The young master is the second young master of the Qing Mansion in Honglu Temple. Follow the young master and take care of your delicious and spicy food." The bully in the story book squinted at the kneeling ground, wearing a Dressed in filial piety clothes, a woman with a small white flower on her head, the little lady looks good, although she is not particularly beautiful, she looks delicate, the key is her delicate and pitiful temperament. Such a woman.
There was a flash of annoyance in the woman's eyes. Does this person have self-knowledge? Don't come out to scare people because of his ugliness. However, the second young master of the Honglu Temple's Qing family has a good status, but he looks too cold. , and looking at his anxious look, it's not good to think about it, what is her status, how can this person be worthy of her, the most important thing is that in history, Honglu Temple was liquidated, if your family in history Passed down, even if you look like this, it is not impossible for your aunt to wrong yourself.
"Why doesn't the little lady speak, but she doesn't want to?" the bully squinted, looking at the woman kneeling on the ground, and said.
The woman who didn't want to talk to this man finally opened her mouth, with a pitiful expression on her face, and said: "Sir, don't tease the little girl. Although the little girl sells herself, she has her own selfishness. She wants to find a master with a better personality. The young master is like this. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get along with in the future, the little girl is a little scared."
The crowd looked at the woman scared, but said what was in their hearts. They felt that this girl was quite honest, and she was different from those women who only wanted to enter rich and noble families to touch porcelain. This, the owner who doesn't look like a good person at first glance is stronger.
"So, you look down on me, don't you?" The bully understood immediately, and said angrily.
"Why, it's just that the little girl is stupid and can't be the young master's maid. If the young master buys the little girl back, but finds that the little girl is clumsy and can't serve the young master well, isn't it a waste of the young master's money?" The woman looked at her eyes pitifully. The bully in the house felt a little depressed. Didn't everyone say that the capital is very peaceful? In recent years, there has never been any bullying of men and women. Why did she run into it today? Obviously, sometimes reputation can't be counted.
"It doesn't matter if you are clumsy, anyway, there are a lot of girls and women in my young master's house, even if you can't use them, there are others." The bully didn't care.
"But what did the young master buy the little girl back for? The little girl sold her body for ten taels of silver. The ten taels may not be a big deal to the young master, but to ordinary people, it can be used as the living expenses of a family for half a year. , The young master bought the little girl back, but he didn’t give her any work, so what would he do with the little girl?” The woman directly surrounded the bully.
The bully scratched his head and was speechless for a while.
Seeing that the woman rejected the second young master of the Qing family of Honglu Temple with reasonable grounds, everyone around felt that what the woman said was reasonable, and the money she sold her body was not considered a random price. After all, this is the capital city, so buying a better one The price of a coffin is not low, at least five taels of silver, and the cost of hiring someone to install it, ten taels of silver is just right.
Among the onlookers, there were also a few whose family backgrounds were really good, and they were also moved when they saw the woman's advances and retreats.
"The patrolling army is here, let's go!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and immediately, the people around all dispersed. Although there is free entertainment to watch, you must pay attention to proportion. This is the capital city. In an important place in Gyeonggi, if the patrolling army mistakenly thinks that they are gathering together to plan something, please go to the prison to eat in prison, it will not be worth the loss.
Seeing the city patrolling army, ordinary people naturally want to avoid it, but those with status and status don't have to.
"What are you doing here?" The patrolling army asked a little dissatisfied.
"It's nothing, let's go now." The bully saw that the city patrol army really came, and hurriedly left with his servant. Although this bully claimed to be the second son of the Qingfu of Honglu Temple, he was actually a The second son of an unfavored concubine, he was in the ancestral home in Jinling earlier, and he only recently returned to the capital. In Jinling, he could be regarded as a tyrant, but in the capital, where nobles gather, his father also told him not to make trouble. Now that the patrolling army had arrived, he also rubbed the soles of his feet with oil and fled.
Seeing the bully leave, the woman breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she didn't have to see the man pretending to be unrestrained. It's a good thing he left. If the man messed around and really bought her, Honglu Temple will be liquidated by the holy ancestor in the future. She will also be implicated.
"Commander Yuan, this girl's background is really pitiful, she sold her body to bury her father here," the young man standing aside said to the commander of the city patrolling army.
"Where is this place? It's Rongle Street. If a girl really wants to sell herself, she can go to Ren Yazi, but this kind of thing must never happen on this road." Commander Yuan was expressionless, looking business-like.
The woman bit her lip and was about to cry. She stood up slowly and said, "Let's go now, little girl." She was much heavier, and even though she tried, she could only take a few steps.
Seeing this, the people who were still standing here sighed one after another, and when they were about to buy them back, a servant came out and came to the prostitute girl, saying: "Girl, this is what our master gave you. Take the money and bury your father. It's a hot day, and it will stink soon.
Yang Yong handed the girl an ingot of silver, exactly ten taels, the price of the girl's selling herself.
The woman showed a grateful smile on her face, but she had already started to scold her mother in her heart. She had just seen clearly that someone wanted to buy her back. Why did Cheng Yaojin come out halfway, and she didn't know who came out halfway How about Cheng Yaojin's family background, if it is half, then she will be at a big loss, now no matter what, the play still has to be a full set.
"Who is your son, after the little girl buries her father, I will go find you and repay today's kindness," the woman said gratefully.
"No need, my master is just kind-hearted for a while." After finishing speaking, Yang Yong left without any possibility of pestering that woman too much. He still felt a little dissatisfied with His Majesty's act of giving money to that woman He understands, after all, he has stayed by His Majesty's side for a long time, and he still has some experience in seeing people. It is clear that what is revealed in that woman's eyes is not simple at all, and Yang Yong saw ambition in this woman's eyes.
The woman was holding the silver, and she was vomiting blood in her heart. She sold herself to choose a good family to enter. With her means, she must be no worse than the previous Qizhou prefect. But she will not be like that senior. The fact that the senior did is too stupid. Now the senior is exiled with the prefect of Qizhou. The prefect and that man's true love, so, the two go into exile together, the woman finds it ridiculous, true love...
The woman sighed, it's a pity that this opportunity was missed, for the sake of her own image, she decided to hold back first, so that others would have a good impression of her, she has already taken a fancy to the young master who originally wanted to plan their mansion, she now The image of her is a girl who really sold her body to bury her father. Although the bully came over before, although she responded decently, she was a bit of a broken persona. If she still refuses to restrain herself now, the persona will collapse even more.
The woman took the money and planned to leave. First, she buried the father of this body. It would be better to spend all the ten taels of silver. It would be even more difficult for her to live alone in the capital. When the time comes, she will enter these places through human teeth. The young master's mansion is also very normal.
When everyone saw the woman with money, they planned to bury their father, and they felt better about women. They really weren't the kind of flirtatious sluts who acted like a prostitute to bury their father in order to enter a wealthy family.
Among the group of young masters who were still around, someone finally couldn't hold back anymore and asked, "Girl, where are you going?".
The woman showed a grateful smile and said: "The kind-hearted man has given me money just now, and the little girl has money to bury her father, so there is no need to sell herself. I am very grateful to that kind-hearted man."
"Where is the girl from?" someone asked again.
"From Qizhou, I came to live in the capital with my father later, and have been here all the time. Unfortunately, I am too weak to bring my father back to Qizhou to resettle. It is really unfilial." The woman forced a smile. strong.
"Why don't you underestimate yourself, girl, you have already done well enough, how about this, how about I buy you, give you money, and let you take your father back to Qizhou to settle down" The person who spoke was Jing Zhaoyin's son, who loves Hongxiu Tim the most. For things like incense, he thought about the difference between the girls in his mansion and this girl.
The woman was silent for a moment, looking at the material of the clothes, this young man should have a good background, but she only checked a few, well-known in history, and a few young men who were valued by the ancestors, this one is really handsome, Moreover, her family background should be good, and she can play with those young masters, so it must not be bad, but if she marries in the past, what if the family suffers disaster?
The woman glanced at the sons of those families indiscriminately, and found that they had no idea, so she could only sigh and said, "My son, now that the money for burying my father has been settled, I really don't want to let myself down, my little girl." Embroidery work is okay, and I can support myself with embroidery work, and if I meet someone with a destiny in the future, the little girl will also be grateful for the son's helping hand today."
The woman thought about it, but she still refused. This is ancient times, and she didn't dare to gamble.Since those young masters have no idea, then she will plan for the future. Anyway, she is still young now, and she is alone in the capital, so she may encounter some accidents. At that time, relying on the accidents and the impression of today, it will be better than nothing. It's better to go directly to those people's mansions.
Seeing the girl's refusal, the son of Jingzhao Mansion became more kind to her, but he didn't persecute her after all. The sons of several families who were favored by the woman were also a little moved. They felt that the character of the woman was really valuable, so they all donated money. A total of 100 taels of silver was pooled for the woman to take her father back to Qizhou for resettlement.
The woman is a little impatient, your sister, ten taels of silver can be spent immediately in the capital, but now 100 taels of silver, relying on the current price, when she has to spend it, now she has to make a trip in person Even though cement roads have been laid in Qizhou, they have only been laid near the capital. There is still no cement road on the official road from the capital to Qizhou. Women also know that the efficiency of the imperial court cannot be blamed. After all, there is no such heavy truck consignment of cement. , because the tools are limited, the efficiency is naturally low.
The woman is still grateful on the surface, but she still starts to scold her in her heart.
Several sons didn't know that they were pregnant with a woman, and felt that they were really brave, and rescued another orphan girl.
After bidding farewell to An Yi, on the way back to the palace, Yang Yong said, "Why would Your Majesty think of giving money to that girl today? This servant thinks that girl is not a simple one."
"Of course I know that woman is not simple. She sold her body to bury her father. Even though she behaved perfectly, her eyes couldn't speak. The expression on that woman's face was sad, but her eyes were full of calculations. The one who insisted on buying her earlier claimed to be The one of the second young master of Honglu Temple's Qingfu, her eyes are full of contempt and disdain for that person, even though she thought of such a high-sounding excuse that can be prevaricated, her goal remains the same," Zhen said.
"Huh? Could it be that she sells herself to bury her father, and there is a specific person to sell herself to?" Yang Yong said casually.
I glanced at Yang Yong and said, "Old man, you are really right this time."
Yang Yong trembled, feeling a little unbelievable, "No way, now
I was walking in the imperial garden, and found a noise in front of me, I frowned, there are too many women, it's really not good, I can't find peace anywhere. "Yang Yong, go back to the palace and change clothes, and accompany me for a walk outside the palace."
"No." Yang Yong nodded, not looking at the group of Yingying and Yanyan women in front of him.
As the foot of the emperor, the capital is more lively than ten years ago. Another lively place is Jiangnan, the land of fish and rice. Although I use seawater to dry salt and curb the salt merchants in Jiangnan, Jiangnan is still prosperous. In Haikou of other countries, the south of the Yangtze River is only richer than before, and the capital city is not bad. The two places are separated by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and they are equally wealthy. However, there are still some people in remote areas who still have a difficult life.
"Yang Yong, what do you think when you look at the bustling capital city?" I asked as I looked at the crowds coming and going on the street.
"These are all thanks to your majesty. When the first emperor was in power, even the capital city did not have such a scene. Since your majesty ascended the throne, he has recuperated and developed his national power. The country has also seen prosperity." The entire country has put in all of its energy and effort, and for Daxia to have what it is today, His Majesty does not know how much he has paid.
I smiled and said: "Old man, when did I ask about my achievements? I asked about the prosperity of the capital. What can you tell? I don't know about my achievements." Looking at Yang Yong again, he turned his gaze to the street.
Yang Yong touched his nose, expressing his innocence.
The prosperity of the capital and the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River are just individual areas. The northwest is high and the crops are not easy to grow, and the south is full of smog and poisonous insects. They are not easy to deal with. is really rich.
"Sir, do you want to listen to the music?" Just as the emperor was fascinated by the busy street downstairs, an old man walked over with an erhu in his hand and his own. It was not known whether it was his daughter or granddaughter. asked.
The guard standing aside directly stopped the two of them, and was about to send them away, but I stopped and said, "Let them come and sing."
The guard nodded and let the two go, but kept his eyes on the two, for fear that they would do something bad.
I carefully observed the old and the young. The Great Xia Dynasty was more tolerant of women. Women were not raised in boudoirs. I studied the history. After the Great Xia perished, it was replaced by a Qing Dynasty Yes, this dynasty was established after the entry of the minority nationalities in the northwest. In order to better manage the Han people, Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism was used. One of the reasons for such admiration, after all, there is no harm without comparison.
Although the old and the young are dressed in simple and simple clothes, they have a plain smile on their faces, not the kind of silence that lives in a low life and is overwhelmed by the burden of life.
The old man sat on the side, set up the erhu, nodded to the girl beside him, and began to hold the erhu, and the girl began to sing, I listened carefully, the girl sang a song in praise of my achievements, I couldn't help laughing up.
At the end of the song, I looked at the old man and said, "Is this your granddaughter or daughter? She sings very well, and you also play the erhu well. How many years have you been playing?".
The old man said: "It's been 40 years. The old man was born in poverty. When he was ten years old, he was sent to an opera troupe to make a living. There was a master there to teach him. The old man followed the troupe all over the world to make a living. There is a craft that is really good, and the old man still relies on him to earn a living.” The old man stroked the erhu that had been with him for 40 years. This erhu has been repaired and repaired a lot.
"There is a craft that is really good, now you are not with the troupe?" Zhen asked.
"I didn't follow. Since the current His Majesty came to the throne, the old man has not followed the troupe. The old man's son and daughter-in-law died early, leaving a granddaughter for the old man and his wife. The old man was reluctant to send his granddaughter to the troupe, so he came out to earn money. His Majesty is strict with the money, and at the feet of the emperor, those rich people dare not do those things that bully men and women. When the granddaughter is older and saves enough dowry, let her get married in a good way." The old man's eyes are all Satisfaction with current life.
The old man remembered that His Majesty hadn't ascended the throne yet, when the late Emperor was in power, at that time in Daxia, the life of the common people was miserable, if it wasn't for the unbearable life, how could his parents send him into the troupe, the life of the troupe It's not easy, from the head of the troupe to the lower class, Yu is a lower class person, life is not easy for Yu, and the pressure of competition in theatrical troupe is also great, the survival of theatrical troupe is mostly supported by dignitaries, and the life of the famous actor is not good. Fortunately, they had to grasp the hearts of these dignitaries, even if famous actors were often tossed by those dignitaries and couldn't make it to the stage, how could he be willing to send his granddaughter to the theater troupe.
His granddaughter is also considered lucky, just when he was thinking about whether to send his granddaughter to the theater troupe for a living, His Majesty ascended the throne, and he spent all his savings in the early years to buy a small yard in the capital and finally saw the results , now the housing prices in the capital are getting higher day by day. His small courtyard needs nearly 500 taels of silver to sell now. It is no problem to do a little thing to support his granddaughter. After they are all a hundred years old, this The small yard can also be given to the granddaughter, and the granddaughter will not be looked down upon by her husband's family.
I nodded and asked, "How much money can you earn in a day?".
"Basically, there are 500 coins per day. Sometimes, some kind-hearted nobles will reward you with more money. The owner of this restaurant is kind-hearted and doesn't ask for our dividends, so life is pretty good," the old man said to the old man. The current life is still very satisfactory. The owner of the restaurant has a very deep background, so generally people who come to eat will not make trouble in the restaurant, and basically no one will touch his granddaughter. This restaurant was selected by him after a long time of investigation. Otherwise, he would rather go to the pier to play alone. Although he will earn less and work harder, he still dare not be sloppy with his granddaughter's reputation.
I nodded. This restaurant was opened secretly. Naturally, the inside is still very well behaved, but other restaurants are hard to say. In order to attract customers, some restaurants will deliberately find some good-looking women to sing and even watch If you win the prize, you can take it directly on the spot. Some women are lucky enough to be spotted by the young master in charge and take them back to be concubines. More still stay in the restaurant and wait for the next customer. Such women, like those brothels woman, no different.
After chatting with the old man for a while, he gestured to Yang Yong, and Yang Yong took out an ingot of silver from his bosom and gave it to the old man.
The old man was surprised, he quickly waved his hands, and said: "Great man, this is too much", the old man felt a little hot, this ingot of silver is worth ten taels, when did he meet a nobleman who gave so much money.
"It's okay, just accept it. When your granddaughter gets married, buy her some good things." I had a great chat with this old man. It is also necessary to understand the aspirations of the people at the bottom from time to time. Isn't there those things in future generations? Does the country & home & leader & leader condolences to the poor people?I'm just learning a thing or two.
"Thank you, nobleman" The old man did not refuse when he heard the nobleman in front of him. When he was in the theater troupe, he had seen those high-ranking officials spend a lot of money, even more than now, but it was only those famous actors. , but what famous actors pay is not just talking to those high-ranking officials, a little saliva, and some time, but what they pay is the price of their bodies. Low, worse than ordinary people, if you die, you will die, and no one will care about the life and death of an actor, even if this person used to be a benefactor of the actor.
The old man took the reward silver and planned to take his granddaughter away, but the granddaughter didn't pay attention to his actions, but looked at the nobleman in front of him with dazed eyes. He reached out and pulled his granddaughter away.
Being dragged away by such a big move by her grandfather, the girl came back to her senses, her whole face turned red, and the old man didn't care about the girl's current thoughts, and only whispered: "Shut up and follow me."
The girl didn't dare to speak, so she could only leave with her grandfather. When she left, she quietly turned her head to look at the nobleman, and found that the nobleman didn't pay attention to her. She was a little frustrated, turned her head, and followed her grandfather.
"Your Majesty's love luck is really strong. If the women in the harem find out, I'm afraid they will be angry again." Yang Yong joked when he saw the pair of grandparents and grandchildren leaving.
"That girl is still so young, but she is just a young admirer. What good things do I have, except for power, I don't understand style, there are too many things I can't do, sometimes I have to plot against the harem, maybe I am a good king, But he must not be a good husband." From the moment I ascended the throne, it was doomed that I would not be a good husband.
Yang Yong sighed, "Your Majesty is also helpless." Until now, let alone the women in the harem, even the Empress Dowager, can't get close to His Majesty's heart. The Queen Mother and Your Majesty have already had a rift. Well, the rift between the Queen Mother and Your Majesty will become bigger and bigger. If the Queen Mother can grasp the balance between the two sons, that's fine, otherwise...
I smiled, the ups and downs in it, only I understand.
"Grandpa" the girl panicked when she saw her grandfather's gloomy face.
"From tomorrow onwards, you don't come to the restaurant anymore. You are not too young, and you should be getting married. With the ten taels of silver given by the nobleman just now, your dowry will be settled." The old man said coldly face said.
"Grandfather..." the girl cried out, feeling uneasy all over.
Seeing his granddaughter's uneasy appearance, the old man couldn't bear it, but he still hardened his heart and said: "Earlier you said that you would come out to sing with me, and that you would never be seduced by high-ranking officials. If there is any sign, you will go home and prepare for marriage, so I just let you out, now your heart is messed up, you have to go back."
"Grandfather, I didn't..." The girl's face was pale, and her words became even paler.
"I know that since His Majesty came to the throne, women's eyes have changed from gentle men to heroic men, but girl, you have to know your position. The nobleman just now is indeed brave, powerful, and rich in family, but You are not worthy of him, you will not be his official wife, you can only be a concubine, do you know how the mistresses of those big families manage the concubines? What do those concubines have in front of the mistresses and those handymen? The difference is that even if you are lucky enough to give birth to a son, what status does the bastard have in those big families? In the future, he will only be the housekeeper of the big family. The mistress will never let the bastard stand out. Even ordinary people have the opportunity to take the imperial examination. What if your child is smart and can pass the exam? You marry an ordinary person and live an ordinary life. Don’t think about the rest.”
When the girl was told by her grandfather, tears flowed down her cheeks.
The old man couldn't bear it when he saw this, but he still wanted to make it clear to his granddaughter, so that he could be worthy of his dead son and daughter-in-law. "And this is the case that this nobleman is in charge. Grandfather has seen too many noblemen who are unwilling to take responsibility at all. In the end, what will happen to these people who threw themselves into the arms of noblemen, do you know? Grandpa doesn't want you to leave those people at all. the old way".
The girl cried even more fiercely. After all, she was only 13 years old. Her restless heart shrank back when her grandfather said this, but she still begged her grandfather to let her come out to sing. After all, the court has stipulated that , you must be at the age of 13 to get married, and there are at least five years left. She is reluctant to let her grandfather work hard for the family alone, but she met the first man who made her heart beat when she was [-] years old, and she never met again Now, even though she and her husband lived together for the rest of their lives, the figure of that man still occupied a small corner of her heart.
I didn't tell An Yi when I came out, unexpectedly, I still ran into An Yi.
An Yi was taken aback when he saw the emperor, and hurried over, planning to pay his respects, but was stopped. "Grandpa, why are you here?"
I saw An Yi looked around nervously, afraid that I didn't look like a dark guard, it was a little funny. "I've been bored at home for too long, come out for a walk and relax."
"Then I have to tell my subordinates, although the capital is still very safe, but I'm not afraid of [-], just in case."
"Since when have you been so careful, I'll come here to relax and tell you what to do. Maybe I've met some kind of affair, and I won't be snatched away by your big boss Xiao." I amplified my voice, gave a dark look, and you Do you want me to expose my identity?
"Isn't it? Boss Xiao doesn't know, just now this master is very lucky..." Sitting at the side, he has been paying attention to a man coming over here. He is suffering from not knowing how to get in touch with this man. I heard this person say such a sentence. "Boss Xiao, I don't know who this son is? I don't want to recommend it to my younger brother."
He has been paying attention to this young man for a long time. He thinks he is a local snake in the capital, but he has never seen this man, but judging by his clothes and temperament, he does not look like an unknown person, which makes him want to come and get to know him a little bit. But this young man sat in the restaurant for so long, only looking at the people coming downstairs from the window, and the only thing he paid attention to was the grandson who just sang, sent them away, and continued to look out the window, which made him a little helpless. It occurred to him that this person was someone Boss Xiao knew.
An Yi turned around, looked at the person who came, raised his eyebrows, "Second Master Chen, why are you free to come today? I didn't ask my servants to inform me, I have to buy you a drink anyway."
"Boss Xiao is so busy, how can you be ashamed?" The visitor pulled out the fan from his waist and fanned it.
He secretly smiled, and politely said: "Busy is busy, but Mr. Chen is not someone else, so he naturally wants to take time to entertain him."
Chen Wenxuan shook his hand, turned his gaze to the emperor, and said, "Boss Xiao, haven't you introduced me yet? Who is this? Judging by the clothes and temperament, he doesn't look like an unknown person. My younger brother likes to be with this kind of extraordinary person the most." To deal with people, so that my father will not say that I smell of copper in the future."
"My surname is Huang, and I am the nephew of the great general. I just came from beyond the Great Wall, and I want to see the bustling capital city. I don't know which family the young master is from," I introduced myself.
The general's nephew?Chen Wenxuan frowned. He had never heard that the general had a relative named Huang. Chen Wenxuan quietly looked at this person, with a decent smile on his face, and said: "My surname is Chen, and my name is Wenxuan. My uncle is from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Shangshu, as for my father, hehe, needless to say, our family relies on my uncle, what about me? Unlike my father, my father only knows about romance, but I like to do business, so my father sees me. Said that I smell of copper", Chen Wenxuan shook his fan, and there was no dissatisfaction with his father's evaluation on his face, but he looked a little complacent.
I smiled, and as soon as Chen Wenxuan introduced himself, I knew who he was. Chen Min, Minister of the Household Department, had a younger brother who was a direct relative. The younger brother was raised somewhat noble and liked to play the piano. Now he works in the Ministry of Rites. Chen Min Min gave birth to all sons, but this younger brother, except for two sons, a legitimate son and a bastard, gave birth to daughters. This Chen Wenxuan is Chen Min's younger brother's bastard.
After all, I have so many years of experience. As soon as Chen Wenxuan introduced himself, I knew Chen Wenxuan's consciousness. All the external affairs are also related to his scheming. This person is definitely not stupid. He uses his talent as a businessman to let others evaluate him as similar to the Minister of the Household Department. Think, only he knows.
He did this to make Chen Min's younger brother feel guilty for him, to make Chen Min feel close to him, and for his aunt and brother to feel at ease with him. The second room of the family, people in the capital probably only know the second young master of the Chen family, when did they pay attention to the eldest young master of the Chen family?
"When did Young Master Huang come to the capital? He speaks well in Beijing." Chen Wenxuan squinted his eyes, feeling that this person did not seem to be from outside the Great Wall.
"I was originally from the capital city, but later my family moved outside the Great Wall. Although I have forgotten the dialect of the capital city, I can still speak the standard language when I return to the capital. I can speak the foreign language well. Do you want to hear it, Mr. Chen?" I looked at with a smile on my face. Looking at Chen Wenxuan, young man, your doubts and ambitions are already on the verge of coming out.
"I haven't heard of the language outside the Great Wall yet, my son, tell me, so that I can also experience it."
I smiled, told a story that was spread outside the Great Wall, and finally sang a little tune outside the Great Wall.
"I'm convinced." Chen Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief. Could it be that he was wrong, but this person's jade pendant is indeed like a royal product, and Boss Xiao is very respectful to this person, saying that Boss Xiao has a royal background. Could it be that he really wants to wrong.
I smiled, I am no stranger to these things, although I only stayed outside the Great Wall for three years, but three years is enough.
Through Chen Wenxuan, I asked about some things beyond the Great Wall without any trace. In fact, there are some things I really don’t know. After all, I have been away from the Great Wall for so many years, but no matter how I say it, I am only in my 20s than Chen Wenxuan, and I have never been to the Great Wall. People who are more familiar with it should understand, a word of truth and falsehood is enough to dispel his doubts.
After dispelling Chen Wenxuan's doubts, Chen Wenxuan was not very willing to deal with it. After talking for a long time, Chen Wenxuan got up to leave.
Looking secretly at Chen Wenxuan's leaving back, he raised his eyebrows and said, "The subordinates thought he was a young man who could make a difference in the capital? Now it seems that he is still too young."
"This young man has good eyesight, but it's a pity that he needs to practice more." After taking a sip of tea, I turned my gaze out of the window. After watching for so long, the law and order in the capital is still good, at least I haven't seen it yet. When it comes to bullying men and women.
"What is Your Majesty looking at?" An Yi asked.
"Look at the people below, what kind of plots of selling one's body to bury one's father often appear in the scriptures, why haven't you seen it in the capital now, and those bullying men and women, I haven't seen it yet," Zhen said.
He smiled secretly, and said: "What do you think you are looking at? At the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the important place of the capital, the patrolling army is on duty round after round. Where are those who sell their bodies to bury their fathers? Also, this is the capital city. A plaque came down, and seven of the ten people had official positions on their bodies, and three of the in-laws behind them also had backgrounds. Except for Lengtouqing who just came to the capital, who dares to act wild in the capital, you , I should read less scripts in the future," An Yi joked.
As soon as An Yi finished speaking, I turned my gaze to An Yi, with disgust in my eyes, I pointed my finger and said: "You said, in the important place of the capital, at the foot of the emperor, prostitutes, bullying men and women, all appeared." .
Dark turned his eyes to the direction the emperor pointed, and his whole body was not well.
"Hehe, let's go, Boss Xiao, let's go and have a look." After waiting for so long to appear, I have to go and see it anyway. I took the lead and stood up and walked out of the restaurant. As for not paying for the drink , isn't the owner of the restaurant here?
"Little lady, let's go with the young master." A man with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes, wearing white clothes, holding a fan in his hand, fanning from time to time, followed by a few servants, in the story book, bullying standard.
I watched this scene with great interest, and the surrounding people also gathered around to watch the excitement. When the patrolling army came, this excitement should not be watched.
A trace of disgust flashed in the eyes of the woman who was kneeling on the ground and selling her body. She didn't want to be with such a man, and she would have to vomit all the food overnight, but if it wasn't for her low status, why would she come up with such a method.
"Little lady, could it be that you don't want to? The young master is the second young master of the Qing Mansion in Honglu Temple. Follow the young master and take care of your delicious and spicy food." The bully in the story book squinted at the kneeling ground, wearing a Dressed in filial piety clothes, a woman with a small white flower on her head, the little lady looks good, although she is not particularly beautiful, she looks delicate, the key is her delicate and pitiful temperament. Such a woman.
There was a flash of annoyance in the woman's eyes. Does this person have self-knowledge? Don't come out to scare people because of his ugliness. However, the second young master of the Honglu Temple's Qing family has a good status, but he looks too cold. , and looking at his anxious look, it's not good to think about it, what is her status, how can this person be worthy of her, the most important thing is that in history, Honglu Temple was liquidated, if your family in history Passed down, even if you look like this, it is not impossible for your aunt to wrong yourself.
"Why doesn't the little lady speak, but she doesn't want to?" the bully squinted, looking at the woman kneeling on the ground, and said.
The woman who didn't want to talk to this man finally opened her mouth, with a pitiful expression on her face, and said: "Sir, don't tease the little girl. Although the little girl sells herself, she has her own selfishness. She wants to find a master with a better personality. The young master is like this. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get along with in the future, the little girl is a little scared."
The crowd looked at the woman scared, but said what was in their hearts. They felt that this girl was quite honest, and she was different from those women who only wanted to enter rich and noble families to touch porcelain. This, the owner who doesn't look like a good person at first glance is stronger.
"So, you look down on me, don't you?" The bully understood immediately, and said angrily.
"Why, it's just that the little girl is stupid and can't be the young master's maid. If the young master buys the little girl back, but finds that the little girl is clumsy and can't serve the young master well, isn't it a waste of the young master's money?" The woman looked at her eyes pitifully. The bully in the house felt a little depressed. Didn't everyone say that the capital is very peaceful? In recent years, there has never been any bullying of men and women. Why did she run into it today? Obviously, sometimes reputation can't be counted.
"It doesn't matter if you are clumsy, anyway, there are a lot of girls and women in my young master's house, even if you can't use them, there are others." The bully didn't care.
"But what did the young master buy the little girl back for? The little girl sold her body for ten taels of silver. The ten taels may not be a big deal to the young master, but to ordinary people, it can be used as the living expenses of a family for half a year. , The young master bought the little girl back, but he didn’t give her any work, so what would he do with the little girl?” The woman directly surrounded the bully.
The bully scratched his head and was speechless for a while.
Seeing that the woman rejected the second young master of the Qing family of Honglu Temple with reasonable grounds, everyone around felt that what the woman said was reasonable, and the money she sold her body was not considered a random price. After all, this is the capital city, so buying a better one The price of a coffin is not low, at least five taels of silver, and the cost of hiring someone to install it, ten taels of silver is just right.
Among the onlookers, there were also a few whose family backgrounds were really good, and they were also moved when they saw the woman's advances and retreats.
"The patrolling army is here, let's go!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and immediately, the people around all dispersed. Although there is free entertainment to watch, you must pay attention to proportion. This is the capital city. In an important place in Gyeonggi, if the patrolling army mistakenly thinks that they are gathering together to plan something, please go to the prison to eat in prison, it will not be worth the loss.
Seeing the city patrolling army, ordinary people naturally want to avoid it, but those with status and status don't have to.
"What are you doing here?" The patrolling army asked a little dissatisfied.
"It's nothing, let's go now." The bully saw that the city patrol army really came, and hurriedly left with his servant. Although this bully claimed to be the second son of the Qingfu of Honglu Temple, he was actually a The second son of an unfavored concubine, he was in the ancestral home in Jinling earlier, and he only recently returned to the capital. In Jinling, he could be regarded as a tyrant, but in the capital, where nobles gather, his father also told him not to make trouble. Now that the patrolling army had arrived, he also rubbed the soles of his feet with oil and fled.
Seeing the bully leave, the woman breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she didn't have to see the man pretending to be unrestrained. It's a good thing he left. If the man messed around and really bought her, Honglu Temple will be liquidated by the holy ancestor in the future. She will also be implicated.
"Commander Yuan, this girl's background is really pitiful, she sold her body to bury her father here," the young man standing aside said to the commander of the city patrolling army.
"Where is this place? It's Rongle Street. If a girl really wants to sell herself, she can go to Ren Yazi, but this kind of thing must never happen on this road." Commander Yuan was expressionless, looking business-like.
The woman bit her lip and was about to cry. She stood up slowly and said, "Let's go now, little girl." She was much heavier, and even though she tried, she could only take a few steps.
Seeing this, the people who were still standing here sighed one after another, and when they were about to buy them back, a servant came out and came to the prostitute girl, saying: "Girl, this is what our master gave you. Take the money and bury your father. It's a hot day, and it will stink soon.
Yang Yong handed the girl an ingot of silver, exactly ten taels, the price of the girl's selling herself.
The woman showed a grateful smile on her face, but she had already started to scold her mother in her heart. She had just seen clearly that someone wanted to buy her back. Why did Cheng Yaojin come out halfway, and she didn't know who came out halfway How about Cheng Yaojin's family background, if it is half, then she will be at a big loss, now no matter what, the play still has to be a full set.
"Who is your son, after the little girl buries her father, I will go find you and repay today's kindness," the woman said gratefully.
"No need, my master is just kind-hearted for a while." After finishing speaking, Yang Yong left without any possibility of pestering that woman too much. He still felt a little dissatisfied with His Majesty's act of giving money to that woman He understands, after all, he has stayed by His Majesty's side for a long time, and he still has some experience in seeing people. It is clear that what is revealed in that woman's eyes is not simple at all, and Yang Yong saw ambition in this woman's eyes.
The woman was holding the silver, and she was vomiting blood in her heart. She sold herself to choose a good family to enter. With her means, she must be no worse than the previous Qizhou prefect. But she will not be like that senior. The fact that the senior did is too stupid. Now the senior is exiled with the prefect of Qizhou. The prefect and that man's true love, so, the two go into exile together, the woman finds it ridiculous, true love...
The woman sighed, it's a pity that this opportunity was missed, for the sake of her own image, she decided to hold back first, so that others would have a good impression of her, she has already taken a fancy to the young master who originally wanted to plan their mansion, she now The image of her is a girl who really sold her body to bury her father. Although the bully came over before, although she responded decently, she was a bit of a broken persona. If she still refuses to restrain herself now, the persona will collapse even more.
The woman took the money and planned to leave. First, she buried the father of this body. It would be better to spend all the ten taels of silver. It would be even more difficult for her to live alone in the capital. When the time comes, she will enter these places through human teeth. The young master's mansion is also very normal.
When everyone saw the woman with money, they planned to bury their father, and they felt better about women. They really weren't the kind of flirtatious sluts who acted like a prostitute to bury their father in order to enter a wealthy family.
Among the group of young masters who were still around, someone finally couldn't hold back anymore and asked, "Girl, where are you going?".
The woman showed a grateful smile and said: "The kind-hearted man has given me money just now, and the little girl has money to bury her father, so there is no need to sell herself. I am very grateful to that kind-hearted man."
"Where is the girl from?" someone asked again.
"From Qizhou, I came to live in the capital with my father later, and have been here all the time. Unfortunately, I am too weak to bring my father back to Qizhou to resettle. It is really unfilial." The woman forced a smile. strong.
"Why don't you underestimate yourself, girl, you have already done well enough, how about this, how about I buy you, give you money, and let you take your father back to Qizhou to settle down" The person who spoke was Jing Zhaoyin's son, who loves Hongxiu Tim the most. For things like incense, he thought about the difference between the girls in his mansion and this girl.
The woman was silent for a moment, looking at the material of the clothes, this young man should have a good background, but she only checked a few, well-known in history, and a few young men who were valued by the ancestors, this one is really handsome, Moreover, her family background should be good, and she can play with those young masters, so it must not be bad, but if she marries in the past, what if the family suffers disaster?
The woman glanced at the sons of those families indiscriminately, and found that they had no idea, so she could only sigh and said, "My son, now that the money for burying my father has been settled, I really don't want to let myself down, my little girl." Embroidery work is okay, and I can support myself with embroidery work, and if I meet someone with a destiny in the future, the little girl will also be grateful for the son's helping hand today."
The woman thought about it, but she still refused. This is ancient times, and she didn't dare to gamble.Since those young masters have no idea, then she will plan for the future. Anyway, she is still young now, and she is alone in the capital, so she may encounter some accidents. At that time, relying on the accidents and the impression of today, it will be better than nothing. It's better to go directly to those people's mansions.
Seeing the girl's refusal, the son of Jingzhao Mansion became more kind to her, but he didn't persecute her after all. The sons of several families who were favored by the woman were also a little moved. They felt that the character of the woman was really valuable, so they all donated money. A total of 100 taels of silver was pooled for the woman to take her father back to Qizhou for resettlement.
The woman is a little impatient, your sister, ten taels of silver can be spent immediately in the capital, but now 100 taels of silver, relying on the current price, when she has to spend it, now she has to make a trip in person Even though cement roads have been laid in Qizhou, they have only been laid near the capital. There is still no cement road on the official road from the capital to Qizhou. Women also know that the efficiency of the imperial court cannot be blamed. After all, there is no such heavy truck consignment of cement. , because the tools are limited, the efficiency is naturally low.
The woman is still grateful on the surface, but she still starts to scold her in her heart.
Several sons didn't know that they were pregnant with a woman, and felt that they were really brave, and rescued another orphan girl.
After bidding farewell to An Yi, on the way back to the palace, Yang Yong said, "Why would Your Majesty think of giving money to that girl today? This servant thinks that girl is not a simple one."
"Of course I know that woman is not simple. She sold her body to bury her father. Even though she behaved perfectly, her eyes couldn't speak. The expression on that woman's face was sad, but her eyes were full of calculations. The one who insisted on buying her earlier claimed to be The one of the second young master of Honglu Temple's Qingfu, her eyes are full of contempt and disdain for that person, even though she thought of such a high-sounding excuse that can be prevaricated, her goal remains the same," Zhen said.
"Huh? Could it be that she sells herself to bury her father, and there is a specific person to sell herself to?" Yang Yong said casually.
I glanced at Yang Yong and said, "Old man, you are really right this time."
Yang Yong trembled, feeling a little unbelievable, "No way, now
