Syndicate Growth Manual

The beautiful woman and her maid were kneeling on the corridor along the corridor, her body bowed down, her long soft and curly hair was scattered on the wooden floor, and it looked black and shiny in the sun, the skin exposed behind her ears was not fair, but It is light brown.Her kneeling posture is graceful, but no one can see the panic on her deeply buried face.

After a long time, until her legs were numb, the door along the corridor was opened, and a person seemed to walk past her drooping head. The black satin was embroidered with golden cloud patterns, revealing a pair of The slender feet were wearing snow-white footwear, and they didn't stop for a moment when they passed in front of her.

Chu Meiren said in a low voice, "Respectfully send off Your Majesty."

However, that person has gone away.

"Beauty," my maidservant whispered, "The monarch has left the garden, please help me up."

Meiren waved her hands, stood up by herself, and hastily carried her skirt into the main room.The main room is hung with colorful woven tassel curtains, covered with colorful lichens, and instead of a bed, there is a black lacquer table covered with gold. In the four corners of the room, there are gilt smokers riding elephants. South Vietnamese style.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl was sitting in front of the desk with a dazed expression, but she didn't even notice that her mother had entered the room, so naturally she didn't salute.

Meiren can't care about these trivial things now, she sat down next to her and asked, "Min'er, what is your father looking for you for?"

"Aniang..." Min Ji came back to her senses, turned to look at her, and tears fell, "Father promised me a marriage, and my son will get married at the beginning of the next year..."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which shocked the beauty, and then she had a burst of angina, and tears fell to the ground in pain, and the gods and the earth turned in her eyes!

"My son—" She held her daughter tightly into her arms, as if someone would snatch her away, and for a long while suppressed a sob from her throat, and cried hoarsely because of the suppression , "How could he be so cruel to our mother and daughter!"

Ever since her daughter was born, that man has had a good look at it once!She didn't give birth or raise her, but now that her daughter is grown up, she gave her away without saying a word - she hasn't even saved up her daughter's dowry, isn't this trying to steal her heart!

Meiren's original name was Changluo, and her surname was also a common surname of the Zhu clan in her hometown, and she was also from the mother clan of the Empress Dowager of Nanyue Kingdom. The main room, how can the status be as low as it is now?

But she was chosen, traveled all the way to Zhao country, entered the Qi Qi Palace and became a little beauty.If Mr. Zhao took pity on her, she would be able to live her life as a whole, but that man was cruel and domineering. He wanted her body, but he didn't want to sleep anymore, so he just left her in the remote palace of Qi Palace... …

It was not her wish that she came to Zhao country, but that man looked down on her, even no one in the entire harem looked down on her.Even if she was pregnant that time and gave birth to Min'er, she would still have a poor child who would endure hardships with her.For so many years, their mother and daughter have lived silently in this Orchid Garden like weeds in the garden. Except for the New Year's Day, who in the palace remembers them?

Xi Changluo whimpered and cried, stroking her daughter's thick hair one after another.

She has worked so hard to save Min'er's dowry for more than ten years, just to wait for her daughter to become an adult, and she begged that person to give her permission, so that she can find a husband's house for her daughter and go out of the palace to live a good life—unexpectedly, that person is like this After coming here, all her thoughts came to nothing!

Min Ji was also suffering in her heart, but it was not as good as her mother's suffering with fear.

Because her father told her clearly what kind of family she was going to marry and who her husband was.She was suffering, but not because of the person she promised to kiss.

She wiped away her tears, pushed Ximei and said: "Aniang, I was too surprised just now, just listen to me, it's not that bad..."

Meiren's eyes are red, and she caresses her chest and looks at her.

Min Ji smiled wryly, and explained to her in detail: "Father said that he promised me to the general's son, Zhao Yuan... He is currently in the Xiguan barracks. Didn't he say he won the battle? He also invited me for military exploits." , I want to be promoted to general."

When Meiren heard it, she was stunned.

She had suffered for many years and resented Zhao Mian in her heart, so she thought badly of him.When she saw her daughter like that just now, she panicked, thinking that Zhao Mian had sent her daughter somewhere to get married.Thinking about it now, Zhao Mian was lazy towards these concubines, but Min'er was his own daughter after all, and the tiger's poison was not a child!

"This, this Zhao Yuan, isn't he a concubine?" She asked her daughter hesitantly, "You are still a princess after all."

Min Ji couldn't help but chuckle, tears were still in the corners of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.She laughed at herself: "Son, what kind of princess is this? There are so many concubines in the palace, and you have to be like Sister Jing to be called a princess."

Hearing this, Meiren also sighed.That's right, their days are nothing more than donkey dung.

Min Ji lowered her eyes and saw the light brown complexion on the back of her hand. Although it was delicate, it lost its fairness: "...I grow up like this, even if I despise other people's identities, I have to see if they like me."

"What are you talking about! The people of Zhao Guo are dead for nothing, so they just want to look good?" Chu Meiren stared, but her heart felt sore.If it weren't for her skin color, her daughter's beauty and intelligence wouldn't be any worse than Zhao Jing.

But she can't say more about this, Min'er never wants to hear her complaining about herself, and she doesn't think she is ugly in her heart.On the contrary, compared to Zhao Guoren's mediocre facial features, the Nanyue women have deep eyebrows and straight noses, so their looks are not ugly.

Her Miner's complexion is not as dark as hers, her eyebrows are slender and thick, her eyes are big and bright, her lips are not pouty and red... looking down, she has a bulging chest, a slender waist, a slender, slim figure, Really, how many men don't like such a woman?Don't you want the soft, weak and plain?

With such a summation, Meiren felt that this family is not bad.Then Zhao Chen is in the inner palace, and she also knows that there is only one son in the family, and there is no wife, and there will be no more sons without a wife. In the back house, when the time comes, I will leave the palace and secure my husband's heart. Are you afraid that I will not have a good life!

She has never been intrigued in these years, and her mind is simple. When she is satisfied, her face is full of joy.

"Since your father married you into a capable courtier's family, he must give you a lot of dowry. This is good. My mother is worried that you will not be able to save the dowry, so that you will be looked down upon!"

Min Ji pretended to bow her head shyly, but there was no real joy in her eyes.

On the surface, this marriage couldn't be better.You have to know that apart from Zhao Jing, she has a second lady, and there are five, six, seven, eighty-ninety women at the bottom. It is not uncommon for there to be more concubines in the palace. Except for Zhao Jing who has already married, the rest, I don't know where the future is. For someone like her who was personally pointed out by her father to marry her, she is already considered very lucky to be able to get married in time after reaching her age.

However, from her father's eyes, she saw his dislike for Zhao Yuan.

After all, Min Ji is a boudoir girl, and at this age, she doesn't understand why her father loves a great general, and the whole country knows that he hates the only son of a great general.But she knows one thing, if her husband is not loved by her father, will her father care about her again after she marries?Perhaps, even she was disgusted with it.

"There are still two years..." she murmured.In the past two years, maybe she can find out something.

Meiren didn't know about her daughter's troubles, she smiled and said: "There are only two years left, I have to ask Your Majesty to see how to arrange your dowry."

It was not until the mother was sent away that the house became quiet.

Zhao Min lay on the table, and only then did he feel the fear in his heart.She was suddenly told by her father that she was going to get married, and found that her future husband was not loved by her father.Although she still doesn't understand the reason for this, she always has an ominous premonition.

Why is it so difficult to live...

She was depressed, but the door suddenly opened, and her first-class maid Baizhu looked at her in panic and said, "Third lady, Wang Jijing is here!"

elder sister?

Zhao Min was surprised, before she had time to say anything, Baizhu was pushed aside, and a dignified and luxurious woman stood at the door, looking at her with a long skirt and smiling.

"Why is Third Sister in such a posture? It would be nice for people to see her."

It was Zhao Jing.

She just got married two years ago, and other people are afraid that the flowering period will be delayed. She was clearly engaged, but after getting married, she delayed getting married for a year.Mr. Zhao really loved her, and he searched for her in Shangfang, Jiangcheng, and found the second son of the eldest family of the Yuan family.

Zhao Jing marries the second son of the first wife, since she has a noble status and does not need a housekeeper.There is also the eldest sister-in-law who is exhausted as the clan's wife, and the younger uncles and aunts who are concubines, but it is not her turn to take care of them.Mr. Zhao also gave them a house for the husband and wife, so they don't have to live crowded together in the original mansion, and they don't have to look at the faces of their parents-in-law and sister-in-law. Except for the multiple husbands, their life has not changed much from her before!If there is anything wrong with it, it is that he has not given birth yet, but because Mr. Zhao favors him, the second son of the Yuan family dare not even accept a concubine.

There is no other happy woman like her in the world!

Zhao Jing walked towards the main seat in a graceful manner, and Zhao Min consciously moved to the side.

"Is there something to eat?" Zhao Jing leaned on her elbows and called out very comfortably, "I just came back from hunting, changed my clothes and came to you. I am very hungry!"

Zhao Min hurriedly called Baizhu.After a while, Baizhu brought several plates of fruits and vegetables, full of tableware.It's always been like this in the harem. Being favored has a style of being favored, and being unfavored also has a way of living. Although their place is remote, they have built a small kitchen, but it is not eye-catching.

Zhao Jing raised her chopsticks and lazily tapped on the plate, finally picked up a chopstick and ate wild mushroom duck feet, nodded: "The duck feet are quite chewy without the bones, and wild mushrooms are a seasonal item, I can't think of you Is there any here?"

Zhao Min smiled awkwardly.

There is no one here who will send you any seasonal items. This wild mushroom was picked by her in the abandoned back garden with her maidservants.

Zhao Jing's temperament is unrestrained, but her upbringing is good after all, so after finishing this sentence, she stopped talking.Sitting aside, Zhao Min took the opportunity to look at her carefully.

After two years of marriage, Zhao Jing has become more beautiful.

She also heard the old man in the palace sneakily say that Zhao Jing looks most like the monarch's sister, the former Mrs. Zhuang Ji.After getting married, she will not be as childish as she was a few years ago. Zhao Jing is as gorgeous as a peony, but there is no frivolity in this beauty, but it is full of aloofness, which makes people understand at a glance. What is noble.
