Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

"Master, you are not in a hurry." The old servant has followed Song Lian since he was a child, and he has long been a family member. Now he whispered while laying out the rice, "I have come all the way from thousands of miles, and I have never seen that Nan Bodhisattva attaches great importance to it." ..."

He complained for Song Lian. In his opinion, there is no one more capable and smarter than Song Lian.

After Song Lian finished eating, he said to the old servant, "What's the hurry?"

The old servant sighed again.

Song Lian did not explain to the old servant.

He knew in his heart that there are quite a few people under Lin Yuan who want to stand out. If he is rashly entrusted with important tasks, his life will not be easy in the future. Today's Song Shizhao is the future Song Lian, and everyone is staring at that seat , wanting to replace it.

Lin Yuan asked him to take care of the matter of "Kaimeng", just to coat him with a layer of gold, and with this layer of gold, he can be supported in the future.

Song Lian also knows that he is a signboard, but how about that?His starting point is much higher than ordinary people, which is a good thing, don't worry about it.

All the remaining members of the Little White Lotus Sect were arrested because of Bao Jianghe's confession.

Most of these people can't read a single word, and they were originally poor people who were oppressed. Once they turned around, they didn't take their lives as their own.

In one of them, people were locked up in every house in the yard, both men and women, without a trace of clothing, to prevent them from escaping.

The servants in his courtyard testified that the person would go to different rooms every day, and sometimes several of them would serve together. Those who are still alive are obedient, and those who are not obedient have long since died.

Song Lian is currently resettling these victims and sending them home?I'm afraid they will die as soon as they go back, this kind of thing can't be hidden, let alone their own family members, even outsiders' pointing and pointing can kill them.

So Song Lian sent them to the barracks to be the head soldiers, or other things, and the women went to do medical care. There are orders and prohibitions in the barracks. Everyone is exhausted every day, so naturally they have no time. Gossip.

This was praised by Lin Yuan, saying that Song Lian was sympathetic to the people, which shocked Song Lian.

Song Lian also saw that Lin Yuan was kind to the people like a father, and he had two faces in front of the courtiers and the people.

In just over two months, many people in Pingjiang have already supported him sincerely.

The old servant said: "I think that Nan Bodhisattva may be really extraordinary. I heard that he was originally born as a landlord and young master. There are as many landlords in the world as a cow's hair, but only one came out of him."

Song Lian took a bite of the dish: "Fortune too."

If the world is peaceful, a person like Lin Yuan may be just a landlord for the rest of his life.

Fortune made him.

-

Lin Yuan looked at the battle report from the front line. Chen Bosong and Zhu Yuanzhang went to Chuzhou together.

Now the army in Lin Yuan's hands has nearly a million people - although the number of auxiliary soldiers such as gang leaders is counted, this number should not be underestimated. There are millions of lions, although the number of people is not everything. The key, but for war, people are the foundation of everything.

The imperial court has already lost an enemy in front of him.

Ever since the imperial court came into contact with Tuotuo's military power and disbanded the army on the spot, the imperial court has lost its last barrier, and now it is just a face-saving item. Although they still have money, they sent troops to attack Lin Yuan, just to show their favor— — They were all afraid that Lin Yuan would ignore him.

They can only hope that the different rebels will fight to the death, so that they can get a chance to breathe.

Not everyone can accept such a gap after ruling this great river and mountain, and then asking them to return to the outside of the pass.

Lin Yuan looked at the battle report. The army went almost smoothly and did not encounter any resistance. The ten thousand households in Chuzhou were surnamed Jiang, and they were somewhat capable. After a month of being trapped in Chuzhou, they still gritted their teeth and insisted on sending troops to fight. Come and go, so as not to be crushed by the opposite side.

Lin Yuan's army was not without losses. According to the reported death toll, it had already exceeded 2 people. Although the casualties in Chuzhou were even more severe, his loss of 2 people made him frown.

Song Shizhao took the battle report from Lin Yuan, read it carefully, and then said: "My lord, don't worry. Now the Yuan Dynasty is just a grasshopper after autumn, and it won't be a few days. What you need to see now is a few others."

Lin Yuan nodded: "Guo Zixing died of illness for more than two years, and now the power has been inherited by Sun Deya."

"My lord...want to attack Haozhou?" Song Shizhao understood Lin Yuan's implication almost immediately. The Yuan Dynasty was exhausted. Unpredictable.

Haozhou is the rear of Sun Deya.

Lin Yuan wanted to wipe out Sun Deya and the others without leaving any chance.

Lin Yuan: "I'm afraid it's not the right time."

Song Shizhao was about to break out in a cold sweat, but his mind was extremely clear. He quickly said, "Your Excellency, you have a long-term vision. Why don't you take it slowly? If you can't beat it this year, you will surely win it next year or the year after!"

Although Song Shizhao knew that Lin Yuan's sword was pointing at the world, he did not expect that he was going to deal with the imperial court and Sun Deya at the same time.

This made him so excited that he couldn't help himself.

Perhaps the day when Lin Yuan will rule the world is not far away.

Song Shizhao said, "I don't know where King Xiaoming is..."

Lin Yuan thought for a while: "An Laosi should have already made some moves."

He asked Mr. An to encourage King Xiao Ming's ambition and desire for power. A country can only have one boss. Liu Futong holds great power, but King Xiao Ming holds great righteousness. If King Xiao Ming really wants to fight against Liu Futong, whoever loses will lose. Win, maybe.

In the Qing Dynasty, Oboi held great power and controlled the government. Didn't Kangxi get him down?

Because Kangxi is the emperor, he has great righteousness, and there are always courtiers who are willing to gamble with him. In the hands of Oboi, these people may not have a bright future in their lives, but as long as they win the bet with Kangxi, they will reach the peak.

Lin Yuan didn't mind pushing Xiao Ming Wang.

The more fierce and chaotic the fight between King Xiaoming and Liu Futong, the more benefits he would get.

"What happened to Chen Youliang?" Lin Yuan asked.

Song Shizhao said: "He killed Ni Wenjun, annexed Ni Wenjun's army, and claimed to be a consolation envoy, or an official of Pingzhang."

Lin Yuan nodded: "The news from Chen Youliang's side has to be paid attention to by Mr. Chen."

Song Shizhao didn't quite understand: "I don't think Chen Youliang is a big man now, but he occupies Huangzhou, and Xu Shouhui is on top, so I'm afraid it won't be a big deal."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "There is a kind of person who is born different from others."

Next year will be the year when Chen Youliang will shine, and he can't turn a blind eye to it and watch Chen Youliang become big.

He didn't expect to regret why he didn't deal with him earlier when he confronted Chen Youliang.

The fourth An, who was far away in Anfeng, sneezed. He was blowing a cool breeze outside the house, and An's wife was sorting out the invitation cards. They have been in Anfeng for more than half a year. They used money to open the way, but they bought a position as a small official Well, although the old four An looked reckless, they were bold and careful. During the past six months, they were busy with socializing and spending money like water, but they quickly became friends with the little officials below.

"There hasn't been a letter from Pingjiang yet." An Laosi sighed, he was afraid that Nan Bodhisattva would forget him.

An's wife put away the posts and took out a pen and paper to write invitations. She was literate and could write well. I understand, I can only restrain myself a bit, the words that come out like this can only be called neat.

While writing, An's wife said: "You don't have to worry about this. If you have time to sigh for a long time, it's better to go out and walk around more."

Fourth An: "What's the use of going out for a walk? Let me see, if I don't cut up my lower body and become a eunuch, I won't be able to see that little King Ming in this life."

Rather than saying that Liu Futong protected Han Liner well, it is better to say that Liu Futong locked Han Liner tightly. Usually, no one could see him. Except for the servants, the only people who could get close to Han Liner were important officials, and these important officials were all Liu Futong's people.

An's wife also sighed: "I have to think of other ways."

Fourth An shook his head: "It's not that simple."

But seeing the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune away from him, An Laosi felt heartbroken and wanted to beat his chest and feet very much.

If he can fulfill Nan Bodhisattva's entrustment this time, he will be entrusted with important tasks even if he is not an extremely human minister when he returns later. Isn't that what he is asking for?

"Didn't the prime minister want to give Xiaoming Wang Namei?" An's wife suddenly said, "All the daughters of officials and eunuchs can go."

This is forced conscripting. The daughters of high-ranking and powerful officials are going to be concubines, and the daughters of small officials are going to be court ladies.

Fourth An: "...we have a daughter now? That's too late."

An's wife: "We didn't say anything dead. The family members we told our neighbors were all on the way. How about we just say that we brought our daughter here in advance?"

Fourth An: "Where can I find this daughter?"

An's wife smiled: "Did you forget? Hongxiu answered my letter last time, and now I'm afraid it's almost time to go to Anfeng."

Fourth An's eyes widened: "Lady, did you think of it then?"

An's wife: "You men can't see women when you do things. I am a woman, so I naturally know what women can do."

Hongxiu is more restrained than Tianxiang and the others. As long as she dresses plainly, it will make people think that she is beautiful.

This kind of person can not be suspected - like Tianxiang, his eyes are full of affection without smiling, even if he deliberately restrains himself, it is easy to be seen by others.

It was more than ten days later when Hongxiu arrived. There were several guards disguised as servants by her side, protecting her all the way to Anfeng. Hongxiu took off her makeup and turned her face to the sky. It seemed that she and An Laosi were really father and daughter. The relationship, the shape of their lips is still somewhat similar.

An's wife walked over and asked Hong Xiu to hold her hand. The two women walked in front, and An's fourth followed behind them, swaggering through the streets.

"Your relatives are here?"

"The little girl is pretty."

Fourth An laughed and said: "This is my daughter, she was on the way, but now the emperor Nami, naturally wants to come here earlier, so he sent someone to pick her up, my old parents are still behind."

While boasting about the red sleeves, everyone envied others for giving birth to their daughter well.

Even if she enters the palace as a little palace maid, she will definitely be able to catch Xiao Ming's eyes just by dressing up like this.

Xiao Ming Wang is still a young man no matter what, the young Mu Ai has no scruples in matters of men and women.

After swaggering through the market, the three returned to the courtyard.

An's wife sent An Lao Si to fetch hot water, and asked Hong Xiu to clean up. After sitting in the carriage for so many days, Hong Xiu was in good health, but at this time she was not well. She wiped her face before leaning on the chair He went up and said to An's wife, "This yard is nice."

An's wife smiled and said, "It cost 300 taels."

Hongxiu was taken aback.

An's wife said again: "Where is it so easy to buy a house, make some connections, and make an appointment to see the house. The first ones add up to a hundred taels. The neighbors around always have to say hello and send some gifts. If you can't handle it, 300 taels." Still can't stop."

An's wife asked Hongxiu again: "How is Gaoyou and Pingjiang? Although my husband and I are not in Pingjiang, we have been thinking of Nan Bodhisattva in our hearts."

Hongxiu took An's wife's hand: "My lord always misses you."

An's wife sighed: "We have no choice, I'm afraid we will bother you in the future, sister."

Hongxiu: "What's the matter?"

She invited her to come here by herself, and Nan Bodhisattva also promised her that if things were done, she would be able to be an official like Governor Zhou in the future.

Even though she is a woman, she still wants to give it a go. What if she wins?

A person like her has long stopped having any illusions about men. She has seen many men, and knows that men are all cats. There is no cat in the world that does not steal. Instead of relying on men, it is better to rely on yourself. There was no chance before, but now Once you have it, naturally you must firmly grasp it.

When there are more women who will be officials in the future, they will be each other's arms and share the same hatred, and they are not afraid of losing their place.

At night, Hongxiu lives in the same room with An's wife, and the women always have a lot to talk about. An's wife is also worried that Hongxiu will not get used to the environment when she first arrives in Anfeng, so she herself stays with her.

After washing their faces and feet, the two lay on the bed, covered with the same quilt.

"You have worked hard all the way here, I don't know what's going on in Pingjiang now." Nan Bodhisattva was still in Gaoyou when they left.

Hongxiu said: "It's no big deal, some villains below are always like that, as long as adults ask someone to rectify, how can they have room to speak?"

An's wife looked at Hongxiu: "If you are called into the palace, the maids must be the first ones. You are beautiful, so you are afraid of the women in the palace..."

Don't worry, Hongxiu was killed by those women before everything was done.

Hongxiu chuckled lightly and said, "Sister, don't underestimate me. I've been around women since I was a child. How can I not know what tricks they have? I will go in when the time comes. If no one values ​​me, it will be convenient. If someone values ​​me , I will find her enemy and attach myself to her, so I can always save my life."

An's wife: "Then you have to be careful, there is only a limit to what we can help you outside."

Hongxiu nodded: "To tell the truth, my sister, when I think about what I'm going to do, I can't sleep day and night, and my blood boils hard."

She still remembered that Nan Bodhisattva said to her: "You are going to be a businessman. If you succeed, you can overthrow a country. Are you afraid?"

She was so excited that she couldn't even raise her head, she said: "I am not afraid!"

As long as it can be done, even if she is a woman, there may not be any trace of her in the history books, even if she is notorious, it is enough.

It was early in the morning when Hongxiu was sent to the palace, and the maids and servants in the palace came to take them away. The young girls got into the carriage, nervous and excited, and the daughters of these little officials were also dreaming, waiting After entering the palace, if he could get Xiaoming Wang's own eyes, he would be able to bring his family to live a good life together in the future.

For girls, getting married is a second reincarnation, and only by marrying a good man can they live a good life in this life.

But no good man can compare to the emperor.

That is the emperor, the master of all things, and naturally their master.

If they can really become the emperor's women, they will also become half masters.

The girls didn't dare to talk at first in the carriage, but after a while, they found that no one was watching them, so they started chatting.

"Which family are you from?"

"Yeah, we have the same surname, maybe we were still in the same family hundreds of years ago."

After finishing the chores, they started talking about "business".

"I don't know if the ladies in the palace are well served."

"I heard that the empress is a benevolent person, and treats concubines like sisters."

"I heard that the maids around the empress are all stunning!"

"I don't know where we will be assigned."

Hongxiu listened quietly.

Someone also saw Hongxiusheng's beauty, and asked, "Which family are you from?"

Hongxiu said: "The one in the west of the city settled down."

"Anjia? I haven't heard of it."

"I haven't heard of it either."

Hongxiu said again: "It's only been half a year since we moved here, it's not uncommon for my sisters not to know."

After all, Anfeng is only a county, and the imperial palace is not big, but it is well repaired. For these girls, this kind of building is something they can only look at before, and they have never expected to live. Going to see, the nanny outside gave them a look, and then sat back down again.

Hongxiu felt nothing.

She has seen a lot of houses with carved beams and painted buildings, but they are all the same. They just live in it, and they don't think there is anything special about living in it for a few days.

After entering the palace, the ladies of the palace first received the palace clothes outside the palace, and then arranged the rooms. They had to learn the rules for a period of time before they could be assigned to each palace.

Seeing that Hongxiu was born well, Mammy also thought that she would have a bright future, so she was very strict with her.

Although strict, she has a good relationship with Hongxiu in private. Hongxiu is different from other girls. When she entered the palace, An's wife gave her a lot of money to manage the relationship in the palace. She may not have good luck in the future, so I also help her study it.

"Grandma, this sugar is good, try it." Hongxiu stayed in Mammy's room, put the cane sugar bought from the kitchen in Mammy's hand, with a respectful smile on his face, sugar is rare, and there is not much in the kitchen , Hongxiu spent a lot of money to buy such a small piece.

Sure enough, Mammy couldn't look away when she saw the candy, swallowed, and said, "How can I get your things?", stuffing the candy into her mouth, her eyes narrowed in enjoyment.

A nanny like her who is in charge of the maids can't get much money, and she has status only by serving in front of the nobles. She is reluctant to buy such candies.

With a short mouth, the nanny held the hand of the red sleeve and said: "Among the girls who have just entered the palace, you are the most sensible and appropriate. In my opinion, you are inferior to others. If you are lucky in the future, maybe you will... ’ She glanced up to the sky.

Hongxiu hurriedly said: "It's the mother who loves me, but I'm stupid. If it wasn't for the mother, I'm afraid I would have been unable to live on. In the heart of the slave, the mother is the mother of the slave, the biological mother of the slave."

"Hey, good boy." The creases on Mammy's face seemed to be smiling, "Since that's the case, let's become a godmother, how about you call me godmother?"

Hongxiu's eyes turned red immediately, and she quickly knelt down: "Godmother, be worshiped by my daughter."

The nanny helped her up: "Good boy, good boy, when you become rich in the future, don't forget your godmother."

Hongxiu: "Of course not! I don't know about slaves, but I know that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring!"

The mother said with a smile: "I will send you to the empress next month... Li empress is the most favored. If you go to her, you will be able to see the emperor a few more times. It may be your chance at that time." .”

Hongxiu shook her head: "Godmother, if I go to Li Niangniang, I'm afraid I'll never have a chance to make a difference, and I won't be able to repay Godmother."

Mammy wondered, "How do you say that?"

Hongxiu whispered: "Madam Li's favor is not fading, the emperor went to Madam Li, how can there be others in his eyes, even if he has, he can't be in front of Madam Li..."

Mammy: "Oh! I forgot this!"

Hong Xiu lowered her head: "Godmother, why don't you send me to the empress's place?"

Sister: "...Don't look outside and say that the empress is a charitable person. What's the use of charity? The emperor doesn't love her, so she can only earn some fame. If you go to her, why don't you sit with her? "

"Godmother, it's the emperor who doesn't love her that's why he wants to go to her." Hongxiu whispered, "The empress and the emperor are married couples, but they are pressed on the head by Li Niangniang. my chance."

Hongxiu understands women. The queen has been suppressed by Li Shi for so long, even if it is not herself, as long as someone can suppress Li Shi, she can still vent her anger.

If the empress was really as desireless as the rumors said, her charitable reputation would not have spread.

These women are locked in a courtyard, waiting for the same man every day. It looks complicated, but it is actually simple.

As for how to make the queen see her and be willing to use her, she always has her own way.

Isn't it the same in brothels?They are vying for the top spot, and even if they can't get up, they are willing to support newcomers to suppress their old rivals.

Sometimes what they want is no longer their own benefits, but to make their opponents uncomfortable.

The nanny thought for a moment: "If you go to the empress's side, I'm afraid you can only start as a poor envoy."

The queen has her own confidantes, these maids will manage the queen's internal treasury, serve the queen's daily life, and control everything around the queen, so naturally they will not let other people stand out, it is really difficult to make the maids want to climb up .

Hongxiu smiled and said, "Godmother, I have to take a gamble."

Nanny held Hongxiu's hand and said with a smile: "Okay, then the godmother will wait to enjoy our Xiuer's blessing from now on."

Hongxiu's current pseudonym is Anxiu. The name Hongxiu is too dusty, and girls from ordinary families would not be named by this name.

The corner of Hongxiu's mouth smiled: "Thank you, Godmother, for making it happen."

She was full of confidence. At this moment, Hongxiu felt that she was omnipotent.
