The Lofty Fierce Consort

Chapter 76

What Shen Yiyao can know, Yan Yan naturally also knows.

She was thinking that her father was a broken jar?

It’s harmless now if you don’t fall the jar. Worried that Jinhuatang will be unavoidable, so Yan Mo was sent over again. But this time Yan Mo didn’t make any difference, her mother was calm.

Seeing this, Yan Yan was relieved.

Luo Huaiyuan came to Zhuangzi very diligently recently.

Sometimes when he didn’t see Shen Qi, he touched it himself. After coming, the first place to go was Jinhuatang, and Shen Yiyao often laughed and laughed, wishing to take him as his own son.

Every time Luo Huaiyuan came, he had to bring a lot of things. Sometimes it’s for food, sometimes it’s for fun, some for Shen Yiyao, and some for Yan Mo. But Yan Yan had very few things in him, even if there were, it was some cakes and fruits.

Shen Yiyao is very satisfied with this, Yuan’er is also a good boy who knows how to avoid taboos. So I felt more at ease with him, and didn’t let Yan Yan avoid her, just as being a nephew like Shen Qi.

The sky is getting warmer, and Zhuangzi Shang has been extremely busy recently. The beginning of the year is spring, which is the season of busy farming.

Shen Yiyao’s dowry village seems to have a large area, but only half of them can be used as farmland. Qiao Rong is a deliberate one. Some sloping and mountainous areas are used to grow vegetables and fruit trees, or are used to raise chickens, ducks and livestock. Every year the Zhuangzi’s income can be sold for a lot of money, in addition to collecting farm rent, grain, fruit from fruit trees, chickens, ducks, and livestock.

Because of this, the talent of this Zhuangzi is counted in Shen Yiyao’s dowry, which is more than that of some shops.

The day had just been fine, and the open space beside the plum forest behind Guiyan Pavilion was in the house.

Yan Yan had seen it a long time ago, and she didn’t care about it. She didn’t know what she was building until Mei Xue came over and told her. Mei Xue also heard what the little girl said before she knew it, so she hurried back to learn from the girl.

The lady in the open space explained that a martial arts field would be built.

After Yan Yan listened, her expression was a little startled.

In fact, in the final analysis, the reason why she can practice martial arts is more because Yan Ting wants her to learn. Only four or five-year-old children know what to like. Shen Yiyao told her a lot, mostly the stories of grandpas and uncles, and she became interested in martial arts.

After studying for more than two years, Yan Ting went to the border, and her mother refused to let her learn. Only then did she know that Shen Yiyao did not want her to practice martial arts from beginning to end.

The small martial arts field built for her before was also demolished. The mother said that girls should be gentle and dignified, and martial arts practice will make people look down upon. Girls dance knives and guns, and no one would like them. It’s better to learn something girls should learn.

Yan Yan has a strong energy, the more you don’t want it, the more I have to learn. Gradually, it became a habit, and I really couldn’t let it go. After that, the reason why I will study hard and practice hard is that I really like it.

Yan Yan quickly put away these thoughts.

One should look forward, not backward.

Now, it’s good.

She is good, brother is good, her mother is good, the sky is high and the earth is wide, and it is sunny.

The martial arts field was quickly built. Although it can’t be compared with the government of Zhenguo, it is not small.

On that day, while having dinner in Jinhuatang, Shen Yiyao said, “My mother does not hinder you from martial arts, but you are not young anymore. Others that should be learned must also be included in the regulations. And Ah. Mo, you should also ask a gentleman to enlighten him. I have already told Qiao Rong to do it.”

Yan Yan did not make any comments.

After the woman got married, she changed from a boudoir daughter to someone else’s wife.

In addition to caring for your husband, respecting your parents-in-law, raising children, and handling the relationship between your sister-in-law and your wife, you also need to take care of various domestic and external tasks at home. Outside the male lead, in the female lead, women don’t know how to housekeepers, and life will be frustrating.

It is also necessary to manage the business at home and dowry. Although there are some who are in charge of the shopkeepers below, but at least as the master, he must be able to employ people and know how to manage the accounts. If you want to make a noise, buy an egg and dare to make a headline on the twelve taels of silver, how many gold mountains and silver mountains will be emptied.

Before Shen Yiyao was out of the cabinet, it was not unreasonable that people could be praised as the top ladies. Not to mention that as a clan wife, you should be the host of household affairs and foreign affairs, butlers can manage the accounts and manage the business. They can also do acupuncture, cooking (you don’t need to do it yourself, knowing the taste will be good) and so on. , Not to mention anything like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, back then she was also known as a’talented girl’ in Beijing.

Since she had moved her heart to teach her daughter, she was serious. According to Yan Yan’s personality, some appropriate adjustments have been made.

In this regard, Yan Yan is not expected to learn.

You can let her use a whip technique, let her embroider and make needlework. It is estimated that she has suffered more injuries on this day than in her lifetime. There is also a pair of piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy and poetry, not to mention, Yan Yan didn’t like this set by nature.

But these are not very important. Qin, chess, calligraphy, and poetry work are right for this. After a woman gets married, who will play with this, but it is occasionally used to pass the leisure time, and it will not be forced. As for cooking and acupuncture, Yan Yan will not marry too badly in the future. Everyday there will be maids serving her. There are sewing people who make clothes, and there are cooks in the kitchen, so Shen Yiyao will turn her attention to taking care of her daughter. Home affairs and rules are up.

The so-called rules are nothing but conventions in the behavior and behavior of people in a circle. Everyone else is like this. You are a stranger, so you have no education and rules.

Shen Yiyao is a family background, Yan Yan has been around her since she was a child, and she was born rich and honorable, so Yan Yan’s rules are not bad, and she has even cultivated a wealthy temperament because of her dignity and dignity since she was a child. This aspect of the rules only needs to be carefully crafted. Shen Yiyao thought about whether to invite Yan Yan to a maid from the palace to come back. Who knew that Yan Yan refused, so she could only give up.

Then it was time to take care of the general affairs. Shen Yiyao decided to let her daughter follow her to learn about the director and the accounting.

At first, I just watched how Shen Yiyao was sitting behind the screen and dealing with the treasurer below, then I took the account book and went back to ponder it. If you don’t understand, you can ask.

On the other hand, the careful conditioning of Yan Yan’s body has also begun.

Yan Yan doesn’t like sweets, she drinks tea daily. She doesn’t like some desserts, not to mention supplements, she finds it troublesome.

There is no shortage of nourishing products such as bird’s nest, ginseng, fleece-flower root, red ginseng, and Korean ginseng, but she is not used to the habit of serving them in the kitchen. Every time I get it, I don’t send it to Yan Mo, or I save it, and I can forget it once I put it away.

These things are precious, the girls above do not speak, and the girls below do not dare to mess around.

Several times before, Meixiang Meixue felt sorry for the girl, and wanted to stew her to replenish her body. Unexpectedly, the stew is served, the girl doesn’t use it. It’s not the point of eating. Yan Yan usually doesn’t eat anything. When it comes to eating, she said that these things are not rice, and they are not worthy of trouble.

Yes, Yan Yan wants to eat, because eating can replenish her physical strength, and she is not allowed to see things that are not meals.

In fact, Yan Yan’s eating habits are very similar to those of the men in the town’s government office. They have five meals a day, one each in the morning, one in the morning, and one in the evening. Because she has to exercise in the morning, she will use something after getting up in the morning. Wu, so I have to eat something before going to bed. She is physically exhausted and will be hungry at night if she does not eat.

As for other times, she has no habit of eating snacks or snacks.

Of course it’s not that Yan Yan is rustic. The ladies and wives of a big family don’t take a tonic. It’s a little bit strange. After all, she never lacks, or even a lot, of this kind of stuff, so it won’t be rare. Also, she was imperceptibly subtle when she was very young.

This will be mentioned before.

In Yan Yan’s vague impression, it was mostly the second uncle and the second aunt quarreling, because the second aunt stewed some supplements for the second uncle. The second uncle did not eat and spoiled things, and the second aunt complained.

There was a sentence from Shen Er’s uncle, which impressed Yan Yan quite deeply.

“You women have a lot of things. We martial arts people need this to supplement that supplement? Look at the daddy to the eldest brother, who has this habit, is not physically strong, and never gets sick.”

Mrs. Shen Er whispered something.

Shen Ding said again: “Don’t worry, your husband is very strong, you will know at night…”

Let the adults listen, and naturally understand the meaning.

But Yan Yan was still young at that time. At that time, she and Shen Qi were only three or four years old, and the two little guys were sitting on the kang and playing. Who knows to hear such an ear. If Mrs. Shen’s second wife were to know that her careless actions back then would have such a profound impact, she would be ashamed and dying.

Fortunately, she didn’t know.

Of course, these things are not good for outsiders, but as a mother-in-law, Shen Yiyao also knows the nature of her daughter.

But when she was still young, Shen Yiyao left her alone, now it’s different. The daughter’s family usually comes to menstrual affairs when they are in their teens, and this kind of internal maintenance of the body must begin before the menstrual affairs come.

These are attributed to the current state of social life.

A woman is different from a man, she gets married when she is a teenager, and then she and her husband and child, have children, and do housework. If you don’t have a good foundation, your body is easy to lose money. When you get a little older, you will get sick.

Therefore, mothers from large families usually start to nurse their daughters early. If you have any minor problems, you must take care of it properly so that your childbirth will go smoothly in the future. Therefore, it is rare that this kind of situation will happen when you find that you have a lack of energy and coldness in your palace after getting married, and it is usually treated properly when you are still in the boudoir.

Of course, it is not only internal maintenance, external maintenance is also necessary.

A woman is a person who pleases herself, and she can’t help other people’s daughters who are fine-skinned and thick-skinned, how can they be loved by their husbands in the future? In particular, a good parent and a well-raised daughter is also conducive to future marriage.

Shen Yiyao ordered to go down, and the maids who returned to the Yan Pavilion would carry various tonics and health soups to Yan Yan every day. Thinking that this was her mother arranged, Yan Yan pinched her nose and endured it.

They also took out various beauty secrets to make all kinds of weird pastes, powders, and liquids for the maids to wipe, rub, and apply on Yan Yan.

In the past, Yan Yan shampoo used water to fragrant the pancreas at most, but now it’s no longer possible. Shampoo must first use rice juice, wash it with water and then wash it. After washing, apply special hair oil and comb it down. , It takes a hundred times to comb it.

In the past, Yan Yan took a shower and just washed it, but now it’s not working. She has to soak the soup with concoction petals every three to five. After soaking, wash with clear water, and then Meixiang will take out a jade-white ointment. She smeared and massaged her body.

Mei Xiang is very enthusiastic. Which daughter’s family doesn’t love beauty, knows that these are the secret beauty recipes that my wife treasures. Most of these recipes are not spread, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are hard to buy. After pounding the girls every day, if there are leftovers, they can also make use of them, all of which are reluctant to think about it.

But Yan Yan is annoying, let alone being tossed, the key is to waste time. In her thoughts, she would be able to practice martial arts for a while.

Whenever Yan Yan showed an expression of impatience, several maids persuaded each other. From the lady’s painstaking efforts to the benefits, to the future generations of Huize, they all talked about it.

But they are right, most of these private formulas are not passed down, they are all passed down from mother to daughter, passed down from generation to generation. Yan Yan doesn’t love this set. What if she has a daughter in the future? She is naturally beautiful, what should I do if my daughter is not born beautiful in the future? And granddaughter, great-granddaughter…

This analogy was played by Mei Xue, and Yan Yan’s eyebrows were pounding.

Evian also persuaded: “The girl is not willing now. It is because the girl is young. You will know the benefits when you grow up. Look at the lady, then look at the big lady. The age difference is not much, why the big lady looks Are you older than your wife? The wife went out and said that it was eighteen. Some people believed it.”

Poor Xue was taken out to make a sharp contrast.

It’s not that Xue is old, Xue is now just over thirty. The point is that Shen Yiyao looks too much younger than her, which forms a very sharp contrast.

Thinking about this, thinking about Shen Yiyao and the martial arts field again, Yan Yan pinched her nose and continued to bear it.

But let alone, it’s really useful.

Yan Yan practiced martial arts, and the joints of her hands and feet were inevitably rough. Now they all feel smooth and tender. Yan Yan’s foundation is white, but she has made it even whiter.

Gradually, there is no longer rejection.

When Luo Huaiyuan came again, he discovered this phenomenon.

Slightly closer, it smells good!

He licked his face and smiled: “Sister A Yan, what did you wipe, it smells so fragrant.”

When you change to a normal boudoir daughter’s house, you will surely take a bite of her and become a disciple. Yan Yan also didn’t know if it was because of her being too familiar with him, or by her nature, and her expression was very calm, “My mother let it be. She said her daughter’s family is old, so she should pay more attention.”

Along with the voice, there were waves of faint fragrance hit Luo Huaiyuan. This kind of fragrance is very weak, and if there is something like nothing, it makes people linger.

Luo Huaiyuan sniffed and sniffed, feeling different from the scent just now, and looking at the jade skin and snow skin that was close at hand, he was so intoxicated.

How to do? No, no, no, how can the little princess be so likable? Make him wish to hold it in his arms and kiss one, two, three or four…

Yan Yan seemed to feel the other person’s different gaze, and turned her face sideways, “What’s the matter? What’s the matter?”

Luo Huaiyuan touched his nose and remembered the purpose of today: “There is something to do. I may have to leave the capital for a while.”

“Leaving the capital?” Yan Yan was a little surprised, “Why?”

Generally speaking, the princes grew up in the palace, and when they were adults, they were divided into feudal vassals. They left the capital and were not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict. In other words, the princes did not build palaces before they were crowned kings, and could only live in palaces.

This is to restrict the princes from making courtiers, of course there are exceptions, for example, the kind that is very favored by your majesty, the rules are naturally not the rules. Another example is Luo Huaiyuan, who provoked his majesty’s disgust early, and was thrown out of the palace. It can be said that he is out of sight and heart. It can also be said that Luo Huaiyuan may only stop at the king in his life.

“Go out to earn money!” Luo Huaiyuan said without being ashamed. “There are so many people in the house. The House of Internal Affairs sees people order food, and if you don’t make any money, I will soon be unable to open the pot.”

Yan Yan glanced at him and felt that his statement was too exaggerated. No matter how far this is in the capital boundary, how could the saint let his son not be able to open the pot, at best, it was just not having a good life.

Luo Huaiyuan was despised by the little princess, and hurriedly told the truth, “Actually, I won’t go out for too long. There is only one thing I have to run myself. It will be back in a few months. Sister Ayan, you don’t have to. worry about me.”

Yan Yan isn’t worried, well, it’s a bit.

Because she knew that he was not as easy as she imagined. She didn’t mention whether he would be spotted by the palace. His eyeliner was also a matter of fact. And Luo Xiaopang was still so young, he was about to travel thousands of miles on the road. Will it be safe? He certainly couldn’t bring a lot of people. If he brought too many people, it would attract people’s attention. Maybe he would just go with a few people.

It really made Yan Yan guess right, that’s what Luo Huaiyuan planned. Except for a few people he made sure of loyalty, he didn’t plan to take anyone else.

Yan Yan wanted to ask again, watching Cuiping come here from a distance.

“Girl, Master Luo, Madam is asking for a meal.”

They had to press, and the two went to Jinhuatang.

In fact, Luo Huaiyuan’s trip to Beijing was not without discretion.

His destination this time is Fuzhou.

After crossing over, Luo Huaiyuan also wanted to figure out where he was wearing. He hadn’t heard of a dynasty named Daxi in China back then. After checking many history books and documents, I discovered that this place is also Huaxia, but it is not.

Generally speaking, there are Sui, Tang, Song and Yuan here, but the generation has been broken since the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It is not Zhu Yuanzhang’s cowherd baby who overthrows the Yuan Dynasty, but Luo Jian, the Tai/Ancestral Emperor of the Daxi Dynasty.

History deviated from here, and then all the way to Siberia.

Many things have changed, and many things have not changed. For example, since the opening of the dynasty, Daxi has repeatedly banned the sea. For example, when Taizong had an **** who went to the west, he was not named Zheng He, but Wang Bao. For example, during the Ming Dynasty, when the sea was banned, it was only forbidden to private but not officials, but Daxi here was forbidden on all fronts. Private individuals were not allowed to go to the sea. It was possible to pay tribute to the subordinate states of Fanbang, but trade and trafficking were not allowed.

Why this is so, the reason is untraceable, with Luo Huaiyuan’s identity and only seeing from the literature, it is just a glimpse of the leopard. However, he only knows one thing. The sea ban will be lifted in one year, and sea trade will be unprecedentedly prosperous. And Fuzhou is one of the ports rebuilt by the Shibosi Department. As long as you can get a glimpse of the opportunity to get a foot in it, you don’t have to worry about making a lot of money.

Of course, all of this cannot be said to Yan Yan. He has no way to explain how he predicted it. Could it be that he lived for two lifetimes? You were my princess in your last life, but it’s a pity that in your last life I only dared to drool, and didn’t dare to take you down with a real gun? It is estimated that he will be slapped to the wall by the little princess, and stick to the top for a long time.

It’s a pity that he underestimated Yan Yan’s determination. People like Yan Yan went straight and didn’t know how to make mistakes. But this kind of person has one advantage, that is, stubborn.

Of course, the benefits of this stubbornness depend on how you look at it. For example, if she feels worried about you, she will be very concerned.

After the meal, Yan Yan went to Lincangju to wipe out the cards and slipped away Luo Huaiyuan and Yan Mo.

When they arrived at Lincangju, the maidservants drove out. When they drove Yan Mo, they looked at his sullen look, and she and Luo Huaiyuan had to be careful to avoid taboos, so Yan Mo survived proudly. That’s good for being young.

If it weren’t for Yan Mo to be there, Luo Huaiyuan, seeing Yan Yan so domineering and mighty, would really want to shrink in the corner of the kang, biting the corner of his clothes, and calling out ‘Yachts.’ Fortunately, Yan Yan didn’t allow him to continue thinking about it, otherwise this guy should be playing King of the Village vs. Xiao Tiantian in his mind.

“There is no one at the moment. Tell me honestly what are you going to do?”

Yan Yan knew Luo Huaiyuan for so long. To put it bluntly, this guy is a dumb face and a bad face, no matter what he is doing, no matter what he is doing, he is just like a hippie smiling face. Even if there is a sea of ​​swords and fire in front of him, he still looks like a ghost.

Yan Yan didn’t expect it. At this moment, Luo Huaiyuan was still thinking about him, but he didn’t want to tell the truth.

“You didn’t consider me a friend.”

Yan Yan didn’t lose her temper, just looked at him and said something like this.

If you are quick to say that you are not afraid, this sentence makes Luo Huaiyuan persuaded. He wiped his face, “It’s hard to tell the specifics, I didn’t lie to you, I really made some money.”

“Where can I make money? I have to go out of Beijing? And where are you going this time?”

Luo Huaiyuan wanted to run with tears in his heart, and he found that he really had no resistance to the little princess. She crossed Xiaoman’s waist and stared so that he was defeated across the board.

“Fuzhou.” He touched his nose and confessed honestly, “Don’t ask me how I knew it. The imperial court has imposed a sea ban in about a year. I want to try the water first.”

Yan Yan didn’t know what the open sea ban had to do with Fuzhou, but she was just a boudoir girl. But she knows that part of the reason why the sea is banned is because of pirates. At that time when I was a child, I was in Zhenguo Gong’s Mansion, and I heard what my grandfather and uncle talked about.

“Are you crazy, wanting money for life?”

Well, in fact, Luo Huaiyuan also knew this was dangerous.

Because the court has repeatedly banned the sea, apart from some other reasons, most of it is because of pirates. These pirates used boats as their maneuvers, and from time to time they went ashore to burn, kill and loot. The court sent troops to suppress them repeatedly, and they did nothing.

In fact, these pirates are as simple as pirates. There are ronin in Fusang, maritime merchants who have been severely damaged by sea bans, and some people in the coastal areas who are in trouble because of their inability to go fishing.

And this time, most of the reasons for the opening of the sea ban were to quell the scourge, because the officials in the DPRK and the central government began to gradually understand the reason why it is better to block.

This matter was put on the agenda a few years ago, but the North Korea and China have been at odds with each other, and there is no conclusion.

Therefore, the coastal areas are at the most chaotic time. Those pirate groups dominated by maritime merchants not only bought the courtiers to speak for them, but also kept chaos outside to put pressure on the court and imposed the ban on the court.

Luo Huaiyuan went now, and he might encounter pirates at some point, but behind the crisis there are also huge business opportunities. He knows that the maritime merchants who dominate the pirates will only be proud of them for a while, and they will be liquidated by the court one by one. At that time, maritime trade will vacate a large piece of cake. Whoever has the ability to grab it will win.

As for you asking him how he is going to grab that piece of cake, he will tell you that there must be a way to the mountain, anyway, let’s go first.

Luo Huaiyuan talked about these picks and listened to Yan Yan. Although Yan Yan didn’t quite understand, he also understood the opportunities and Luo Huaiyuan’s determination to go.

“when are you leaving?”

“Just these few days.”

“Then before you go, come here again.”

Hearing this, Luo Huaiyuan was reluctant to bear him only as a little princess, but in fact, he also reluctant to bear her. But for their future, this encounter must go. Maybe there are difficulties ahead, but who knows if I haven’t tried it?

Luo Huaiyuan hurried back to the Fourth Prince’s Mansion before dark.

After returning home, he had a meal first, and then walked around the back cover room of Zhiyuantang where he lived.

The door was closed tightly, there was no light inside, and he couldn’t see his fingers. Luo Huaiyuan took out the Huozhezi and lit the lamp, and walked to the wall. Only then did he see a person lying in the corner of the wall. His hands and feet were tied up, and his mouth was still blocked. As soon as he saw Luo Huaiyuan, he blew up and didn’t know what he was talking about.

Luo Huaiyuan smiled, “Are you hungry? Blame me, I’m so busy today, I forgot to bring you food.”

You forgot not only today, but also yesterday! The man who was **** was slandered.

This person is the father-in-law Xi.

At this time, he changed from his usual pampered and graceful appearance, and his clothes were messy and embarrassed.

“Don’t be afraid, I won’t tie you up.” Luo Huaiyuan breathed out as if coaxing a child, took out the cloth from Father Xi’s mouth and wiped his face with dust.

Just as Father Xi opened his mouth to say something, something was suddenly stuffed into his mouth, and the thing melted in the mouth and disappeared in a flash.

“It’s hard to get this thing, and it’s actually used for you, but there is no way, you are someone else’s person, and I can’t move you, that’s all.” Luo Huaiyuan looked sad.

Xi Gonggong coughed twice and was useless: “What did your Highness eat for the old slave?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just a medicine. It’s said to be made with seven kinds of poisonous weeds and seven kinds of poisonous insects. It’s not unusual on weekdays, but when the poison is on, it will hurt you for seven days and seven nights and you will die.”

Xi Gonggong suddenly changed color.

Luo Huaiyuan smiled and untied the ropes on his hands and feet: “Don’t worry, you won’t die right now. From now on, I will give you an antidote once a year. As long as you are honest, I will guarantee that you will die.”

Father Xi didn’t know what to say anymore. He wanted to scold the man in front of him for a thousand times. He was hiding everything for him, and he actually gave him this kind of poison/drug that he had never heard of before.

But can this kind of thing come up and talk about it?

He said that the four princes would believe it? After all, he is the queen’s person.

Forget it, anyway, he is here to provide for the elderly, so let’s continue to’care for the elderly’ in the future. I just don’t know what the four princes are going to do, such a big move.

“What does your Highness need the old slave for?”

Hey, this old man is acquainted! Luo Huaiyuan was very satisfied.

“It’s okay, I’m leaving the capital for a trip, and the affairs of the house are partial to Grandpa Xi.”

Father Xi wanted to faint because of toothache. ?
