The Red Mansion's Dress to Become the King of Beijing

In the semi-fantasy world of the Red Chamber, there are indeed capable people and strange men with great abilities.

Some families with a certain background and status have enshrined such outsiders. The Beijing Palace is no exception, but the lineage of the experts enshrined by the Palace is basically outside the pass.

In fact, using "metaphysics" to assassinate others is not so common and not so easy: ordinary people have no value in assassination, and those who are truly extraordinary are either blessed by luck or protected by merit. In short, they cannot easily rely on crooked methods to succeed .

Let me say one more thing here. In the original book, Ma Daopo was able to easily plot against Sister Feng and Baoyu, and the reason was explained by the monk: Sister Feng has done too many evils, and the luck that matches her status has been almost wiped out. And it is almost non-existent. It seems that ordinary people are more resistant to magic than her; Baoyu is fascinated by male~huan~female~love, and even the psychic gem that comes with her when she was reincarnated is confused. The degree of "seriousness" is difficult...

However, he said that Prince Zhongshun suffered from Shui Rong several times in a row. In the hunting ground~assassination~killing~Shui Rong, he finally committed the crime of not being investigated and had to reflect at home for half a year.As a clan, he can't afford to resent the emperor, so he can only pin this resentment on Shui Rong.

In short, it is "difficult to calm down".

So Prince Zhongshun, behind his father's back, hired an expert to make a calculation. It was just a calculation, and he didn't want to harm anyone. The prince saw with his own eyes that the expert, who was full of immortality, was full of black blood... Almost sprayed him in the face.

The expert waited for a while, and then persuaded Prince Zhongshun with special dedication, "The king of Beijing is now blessed with luck, and it is not something that can be shaken by ordinary or unusual means."

These words made Prince Zhongshun lose all courage.If this prince is really the kind of person who refuses to listen to persuasion, not only is the position of prince not secured, he may not be alive to this day, so the prince of Zhongshun, who listened to persuasion, immediately stopped his flag and drums.

Water soluble is protected by the system, especially this kind of passive defense protection is really not worth mentioning. The small icon has no special notification when it receives information feedback, and of course there is no intentional avoidance.Just like when "materialism" was used to smash Ma Daopo's cultivation base, when the topic of metaphysics was mentioned, the little icon just mentioned it in passing.

Now that he was talking about metaphysics, Shui Rong became a little interested, "The emperor also asks a capable person to do the math for me, right?"

The small icon said: "The system's passive defense mechanism only defends against attacks and detections that are malicious to you."

Shui Rong understood in his heart, "It seems that the emperor has actually asked an expert to calculate for me."

The little icon said again: "According to the world's understanding of luck, for someone with great luck like you, master, you can only do evil things."

It's not difficult to understand, "It's just that the emperor has accumulated more luck than me, and he can beat me upright."

"Correct."

It is true that the Yishi Gaoren have real abilities, but to say that they have the ability to single-handedly affect the rise and fall of dynasties is to think too highly of them.Even if Fairy Jing Huan wants to mention some precious jade, she can only entrust it to her in a dream, so she still has to walk the road by herself, whether it is wide or narrow, it is her own choice.

Thinking of the plot in the original book, Shui Rong asked Xiao Icon again, "Can you check other people's luck or merit?"

The small icon said: "You can query the level, and the difference is not the specific data."

Because of the continuous construction of the fiefs outside the customs this year, the small icon has been upgraded by half a level, and some modules that are not known to be useful or not have been loaded.

Shui Rong asked, "Look at the grade of Baoyu."

The small icon responded quickly, "It's far worse than you, but much better than ordinary people."

This result does not surprise Shui Rong at all: Baoyu is quite clear now, and she is one of the most sensible people in Rongfu.

I learned a little more about metaphysics at the small icon, turned around and summoned Wang Dong, the chief steward, and the two stewards who were in charge of the business of the palace, and asked the servants to invite Daiyu... When everyone arrived, he would talk about it The idea of ​​setting up a "tertiary industry" for the princess to practice and earn some pocket money.

On the premise that the petrochemical technology tree has not been opened, the best oil for making soap is palm oil or coconut oil, which is refreshing, odorless and very stain-removing.

Different from the contemporaries in parallel time and space, palm trees and coconut trees have been planted in the south of this dynasty for many years. Palm oil and coconut oil are not rare even in the capital. The point where I can deliver it in person.

Compared with the soaps on the market and even in the palace that are mainly made of animal oil, the use of palm oil and coconut oil is already very advanced. Taking advantage of the trend, I made a recipe for soy milk soap...

Now there is only coconut oil in the palace, and Daiyu personally guides Daiyu to operate it: use coconut oil, soybean oil, soybean milk and alkali, add a little bit, really a little bit, less than one-thousandth of the high-efficiency flavor and preservative, smooth A large pot of "soap syrup" was boiled neatly.

Flavors and preservatives are of course purchased from the system at the price of cabbage.The choice of boiling instead of cold soap is to complete the saponification reaction in a short period of time, which can greatly save time and increase production.

This pot of "soap" is poured into a wooden oval mold prepared earlier and dried in the stove.

Five days later, the pale yellow soap with super cleanliness, moisturizing, and extremely unforgettable fresh taste was displayed in front of everyone in the palace.

Then I checked it in the system and made a Shouwu ginger soap. Yes, this one is specially used for shampooing, and the shampoo itself has no smell, but the matching conditioner has a pleasant fragrance. , boiled with white vinegar and sheep oil, and then mixed with citrus flavor... It's done.

With regard to these three things, the concubine, Daiyu, the two younger sisters, plus the respectable staff, staff, guards, and their families in the mansion, after personal experience... they are full of praise.

After that, Xue Biao and Jia Yun were summoned. They hesitated to step into the hall where the princess entertained guests and discussed matters, and left after more than an hour.

To be honest, Shui Rong didn't care about a small business of this scale. He fine-tuned the prescription again based on the feedback, and then threw it all to Daiyu without asking any more questions.

A month later, Daiyu complained to him after dinner, "The workshop has been working overtime and extra money, and it can't even handle in-app purchases. The samples in the shop are all pre-ordered..."

Shui Rong removed the mansion newspaper in his hand, and said lightly, "Then add a workshop. Our Zhuangzi has nothing else, and we have enough space and manpower."

Yes, all the current workshops of the Wangfu are located in the villa on the side of the mountain.

Daiyu thought for a while, and then said, "Our business is so prosperous, it's hard to guarantee that there will be no youngsters. In the business of tens of thousands of 10,000+ silver, the villain dare not stand out. I see that someone imitated our recipe. I also made light yellow soap, but it works, the quality is inferior to ours.”

The formula can still be improved through practice, but the irreplaceable aspect of Wangfu's soap and conditioner... is actually the fragrance - the key essence is water-soluble and bought from the system, which can be said to be the only one in the world.

How could Daiyu not understand this?It's just that after she drank the cold syrup fed by the prince, she cleverly never got to the bottom of it.

Shui Rong knew it well, so he asked, "Oh, what's the princess' plan?" It's only been a while since they got married, and "we" said it so smoothly, he was really "consoled".

Daiyu smiled sweetly, "It's not a big deal... The manager told me before that if we eat meat, we have to allow others to drink soup. I know it's the prince reminding me, just turn a blind eye and close it."

In this era, if you want to make money without worrying so much, it is a very wise choice to specialize in the high-end market.

The high-end market naturally refers to the rich and powerful families. These families basically don't look up and look down at the Wangfu, and tear themselves apart from the Wangfu for the profit of the idea of ​​soap and conditioner... They really can't do it.

By the way, the common people in the capital can afford the fake version of the soap, but they cannot afford it for daily use.It should be noted that in daily life, the two most expensive things are salt and oil.

With the help of his confidants, Daiyu has another idea, Shui Rong is still the same as before, and he can be his hands-off shopkeeper with peace of mind.

But when it came to the end of the year, General Wu and Duke Xining returned to Beijing again... Duke Xining was fine, the countries in the Western Regions outside Jiayuguan were doing well, and he hadn't changed much from before.And General Wu is no longer like a year ago, even if he deliberately restrained himself, he can still let Shui Rong see his high spirits, now... it's hard to describe.

Because the war in the west is not very optimistic, and it is becoming more and more pessimistic.

In the past, each had their own victories and losses, and more victories and fewer losses. General Wu had enough leeway to lie about military or military achievements. However, since the beginning of autumn this year, the alien offensive has been rapid and everyone is desperate. General Wu and his team Although most of the frontier troops are elite, some are not prepared enough, and the situation seems to be about to reverse.

In fact, grain production in the north of the Yellow River has generally decreased this year, but with the "disturbing factor" of a bumper harvest outside the customs, the emperor and the cabinet officials once again underestimated the power and impact of the climate.

The alien races outside the Northwest Pass are fighting for survival, which is completely different from the previous "I fight to gain advantage, if I occupy it, I will continue to fight, and if the momentum is not good, I will run away".

People with discerning eyes in the court also made suggestions to the emperor at the right time, and the emperor... deeply agreed.

At the same time, General Wu has been able to get along to this day. He really has no brains at all. At the same time, he is very knowledgeable about current affairs. Someone is willing to share the pressure for him. .

This made the mastermind who wanted to spread rumors and provoke others... a little at a loss: You old Wu always regarded that little military achievement like an eyeball, and whoever moves is desperately fighting with others. Why don't you play your cards according to reason now!

However, on this day, the emperor had a heated discussion with the elders and the governors of the five armies. Shui Rong, who had been serving as the background board all the year round, was imagining the future with the small icon. With a little ignorance.

The emperor almost laughed: he finally held back, and immediately reflected on whether everyone had overestimated the King of Beijing these years.

The old Beijing King is undoubtedly a hero, but the old Beijing King's son... Think about it too, the Beijing King is only in his early twenties this year, right?

After staying in Beijing for so many years, besides farming, he did some small business. Regardless of whether this is the true ambition of the king of Beijing Jing, in short, he has not been able to get involved in any military affairs.

After much deliberation, the emperor felt that letting King Beijing return to the fief, and then spread the news of the fief's bumper harvest this year, King Beijing might not have time to practice, so he would have to waste his strength and family wealth directly, and serve as a human shield for the frontier army. The front resisted the turbulent attack of the alien race.

And behind him is his own fiefdom. When Shanhaiguan is closed, there is no way to retreat. He must fight to the death. On the other side, let whoever takes advantage of it pick the peach.

Ji Ding, the emperor looked at Shui Rong again, and found it more pleasing to the eye.So he casually asked: "What is Shui Aiqing's opinion?"

The little icon promptly recounted the contents of the court meeting to Shui Rong, and added, "The emperor has bad intentions."

Shui Rong smiled and said, "It can be seen."

Is it the end of the head or a strategic contraction... Shui Rong pondered the emperor's psychology for a while, and replied decisively: the end of the head.If the prairie outside the pass retreated directly, would the cattle, horses and sheep be raised?

The emperor laughed meaningfully when he heard this: Since you said war, I will send you to fight outside the pass.Of course, "Ordering the King of Beijing to be a vassal" will not be decreed at the court meeting. Who would let the King of Beijing have a few sincere friends and relatives.If the emperor made an order on the spot, someone would stand up to persuade him, and the emperor felt that it was not easy to step down.

The emperor's idea was by no means a whim, and the bigwigs in the five-army governor's mansion actually tended to let Shui Rong take over as a vassal: some old friends of the Shui family felt that his going back was equivalent to a trapped dragon entering the sea; That's okay; there are even those who have not dealt with the Shui family but have never underestimated Shui Rong, and they believe that this is letting the tiger go back to the mountain!

However, the last group of people... are actually a minority who "hold the truth", and they tried their best to convince the emperor.After all, Gou Jian was the one who tried his best, and Shui Rong's age and experience couldn't be compared with Gou Jian.

After the emperor came down to court, he seemed to have gone from a heart attack. After finishing his political affairs, he went to sit in Concubine Zhen's palace for a while.

Concubine Zhen gave birth to a son, both mother and child were safe, and during this year the queen had been properly suppressed, and her father was promoted to be the servant of the Ministry of Industry. Seeing the prosperity of the official career, Concubine Zhen's mood is needless to say.

When the emperor arrived, she smiled and invited the emperor to play with her chubby son, who was very playful but could not resist.

The emperor, who had enjoyed the family happiness, left from Concubine Zhen's Palace - Concubine Zhen was still recuperating after childbirth. Of course, it was impossible for the emperor to stay overnight, so he went straight to Concubine Wu's Jingren Palace.

In the past two years, the emperor's trust and love for Concubine Wu Guifei has not decreased but increased. When it comes to major political affairs, the emperor will vaguely mention it when he is upset or uncertain, and listen to Concubine Wu's opinion.

Concubine Wu Guifei is so honored, she still guards against arrogance and impetuosity, even if the queen completely restrains herself, at this time when she is actually in charge of palace affairs, she and her confidantes don't see any color on their faces: this is where to go, waiting for her to give birth It's not too late for her to be proud when her elder brother ascends the throne.

But when it was time for bedtime, the emperor and Concubine Wu Gui lay down side by side after washing up, and the emperor said slowly, "I am hesitant to let the Queen of Beijing, his concubine and his wife go back together."

If King Beijing wanted to take over the feudal clan, Concubine Wu Guifei had already heard the words from the person sent by her brother. She turned around, raised her arms to hug the emperor's arm, and said softly, "It's better to let them go back together." Looking at the emperor, Then he explained the reason in detail, "I heard that the king of Beijing likes his wife very much, but her belly is still, and it is useless to stay in Beijing. The concubine of the king of Beijing is the stepmother of the king of Beijing. King Jing is not even a mother..."

Generally, one has to bet on one's own parents and legitimate sons to bet on meat tickets, and stepmother, concubine, concubine, concubine, concubine and so on are basically useless.

The emperor thought about it for a while: For these women in his palace, it is useful to threaten him with Concubine Wu. Others... can live the best, and death... is nothing to do.

So the emperor also laughed, "Then a good person will do it to the end?"

Concubine Wu Guifei met the emperor's gaze, and continued, "I have to tell you the truth, I feel so sorry for Sister Yuanchun... Maybe Sister Yuanchun and Sister Zhen have taken a fancy to the soap shop owned by Princess Beijing."

The emperor just laughed when he heard this, "So they were waiting for me here. Life in Rongguo Mansion is not easy, and the shop will be promised to Yuan Chun later, and Concubine Zhen's family is not short of this little money."

Three days later, Shui Rong received the order to become a feudal clan in the spring of the coming year.

In the following half a month, his informants in the palace sent back some news one after another, only then did Shui Rong know that Concubine Wu Gui also gave him a great assist, so that he could safely bring the whole family back to the fief, without missing a single one: The soybeans and soap conditioner that the pen gave to the Wu family are really worth it.

Now that she was leaving, Daiyu was reluctant to go to the shop where she was going to "ride the wind and waves" just now, but at Shui Rong's suggestion, she gave Baoyu and Baochai, the unmarried couple, even Fangzi and the remaining bottles of essence. —Of course it's not free. Even if Shui Rong and Daiyu leave the capital, they won't delay receiving bonuses.

In the original book, Baoyu was able to make makeup, powder, and rouge that was much better than the commercially available quality without a teacher. Now it is no problem to be in charge of the production of soap and conditioner, and the management and promotion fall on Baochai. one word.

As for Xue Biao and Jia Yun, they made up their minds to take refuge in the Beijing Prince's Mansion. This time, they will go to the northeast with Shui Rong's family... for a break.

A group of people with cars and luggage guards occupied the official road. When they passed Shanhaiguan, Shui Rong nodded slightly to the general guarding the customs, Shi Ding: It means that everything is kept silent.

After leaving the customs, the sea is wide and the fish leaps, that is, when he walks out of the Shanhaiguan border, the golden light suddenly shines in front of him... In fact, he was dazzled by the crazy task of swiping the screen.

The little icon took the time to write a huge red letter, with colorful shining borders, "Come on, work quickly!"

The author has something to say: I fell asleep halfway through writing yesterday.

I have to adjust my schedule, it doesn’t matter on weekends, and it’s sluggish on weekdays... If nothing else, I seem to catch a cold easily~~~~~~~
