The Red Chamber Collection

Chapter 156

Daiyu laughed and said, "Why? I can't bear it! I think the Eighth Prince is a battle-tested old man, what kind of precious weapon has he never seen before? Will the prince go back on his word?!"

Seeing what Daiyu said, all the ministers smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.Zhongtang said: "Gege, you are too scary. No one but the emperor would dare to say such a thing about the Eighth Prince's life. It turns out that they want a sword! Eighth Prince, a sword, you can give it to her." This Princess Swallow, as long as she has her eyes on her, she will not give up. I heard that she even slandered the Eighth Prince!"

"If you don't mention this sword, I won't be angry! The emperor must have heard it too, how dare she, she, she dare to?" The eighth prince said angrily.But when it comes to the words of the princess, how do you say it out of the court? !So stuttered.

The emperor smiled and said nothing.Knowing that the Eighth Prince is rather reckless, he never speaks out of his head.Could it be that the swallow was wrong?No one you marry can marry such a woman!To put it nicely, she's called a talented girl, but to put it bluntly, she's a singing girl!The emperor met him at the eighth prince's mansion, and his eyebrows were flirtatious.In the past few years since the Eighth Prince has been away, this woman named Cuihong inevitably has no affair.As a nephew, it's not easy to meddle in the affairs of the uncle's house!

Lingnan King said: "Eighth Prince, forget it. You have caused so much idleness because of a sword. Why bother?"

"I didn't do it for a sword. I don't want to see Yanzi's arrogance. The face of the Qing Dynasty has been embarrassing! Now that I have said something, I will count. However, I can only give one sword, the male and female swords, Which one do you want? Tell me!"

Daiyu was amused when she heard the Eighth Prince say this.It is said that swallows are young and do nothing. It turns out that the Eighth Prince is also an old child.Then he smiled and said: "Well, I want the male sword, and the eighth prince will keep the female sword."

Daiyu's words.It caused a roar of laughter.The Eighth Prince didn't expect this, and only then did he understand when he saw everyone laughing.An old man, an old prince who has made great military exploits, left a female sword, what is it called? !Simply?The Eighth Prince put on a cold face, and refused to admit defeat: "The sword is the sword. Come to my mansion to get it later. I keep my word!"

The emperor looked at the embarrassment of the Eighth Prince.Suppressing a laugh, he said: "This matter is over, don't bring it up again. Dear lovers, is there any more to play?"

"Your Majesty, even though she is a girl, she has no official position and no position. But what she has done has made the world look up to her! She is indeed a rare and wonderful woman in my Qing Dynasty. You should use her frown and frown as a model. Tell the people all over the world." Wait, learn from Frowning Gege. In order to praise justice and carry forward the tradition of kindness, we should reward Frowning Gege!" Hongling, a scholar of Tiren Pavilion, stepped forward and said.

"Your Excellency is right, Your Majesty, and my ministers too, please give me some credit!"

"Your Majesty. If you can't get the grace of the Emperor, I'm afraid the hearts of the people in the world will be chilled!"

"emperor?"

?

All the ministers came forward to ask for credit for Daiyu.The emperor was very satisfied.He will obey the mouths of the ministers.Say it and ask for credit!If you say it yourself, I am afraid that the ministers will not accept it!Therefore, he smiled and said: "My dear friends. According to you, how should I reward you?!"

"Your Majesty, I think that not only will there be rewards in kind, but you should promise them with an official position. Although she is a woman with a frown and frown, she is a rare talent. I think that since the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, I have never seen such a strange woman with both virtue and ability. The deeds of the frown and frown should be sent to the state capitals in the form of a briefing. I hope that people from all over the country will follow the example of the frown and how to save themselves when disaster strikes." An old minister came out and said.

"emperor?"

Daiyu snatched the minister's words and said: "Your Majesty, my lords. I am a folk woman, and I am loved by all my lords. My lords' compliments have made women feel sorry for me. Women really dare not accept rewards. What women do , It’s really nothing. Rabbits die and foxes are sad, and things hurt their kind. Animals are like this, let alone humans?! Minnv has been educated by her parents since she was a child, to be a kind person. Although her parents are not around, Minnv dare not forget their parents’ teaching! If the emperor and all the adults agree with what Minnv has done, Minnv has a request!"

"Oh?!" The emperor said joyfully, "Xiaoer, what request do you have, but it doesn't matter. As long as it's reasonable, I will allow you!"

"Minnv thought about the disaster in Suzhou this year, and the court relief could not be provided in time, so the price of food was driven up. Minnv thought, if there is a disaster in other places, the adults can give convenience to the Minnv food team! The people affected by the disaster can get it in time. Food to satisfy the hunger; secondly, it can also reduce the pressure of the government for disaster relief; thirdly, the women of the people can earn small profits and can do more to help the people! The women of the people are businessmen, and they can earn small profits for the relief of the people. Why not Why?! Minnv has collected funds from merchants from all over the place to operate a grain depot in Suzhou City, and there are many procedures required, and I hope you will give me your convenience."

Daiyu's so-called convenience is because she is afraid that the local government will impose excessive taxes when going through the formalities, which will increase the cost of food and will not benefit the people affected by the disaster.Daiyu plays the role of a businessman everywhere, reducing her lofty style.This is conducive to the rapid and effective economic development of Lin Fu.Get rid of the false name of setting yourself as a role model everywhere in the palace.

"This is not difficult!" The emperor said: "Xiao'er is thinking about the people's livelihood, I will allow you to do this! But the reward should still be rewarded!"

Daiyu laughed and said: "The hairpin doesn't ask for rewards, the hairpin only asks God to give my family safety!"

Daiyu's casual words shocked all the officials.

"Why would Ge Ge think so?" A minister wondered.

"You don't know, I know the meaning of Yan'er! I don't understand, why was the child she adopted was assassinated when Shao'er was assassinated?! Why do you want to attack such a weak woman who has no strength to fight? An innocent baby who was in its infancy to attack? And the person who assassinated was the palace guard. Fortunately, there are martial arts masters in the Shaoer Mansion to help, so that no one succeeded." Still angrily said.

"Your Majesty, this matter should be thoroughly investigated!" A minister said.

"I have sent people to conduct a thorough investigation, but there is no progress. It can be seen how deep this black hand is behind the scenes!"

"Your Majesty, for the current plan, we should send more people to protect Gege! If Gege suffers, it will not only be the loss of Suzhou and Jiangsu, but also the loss of our Qing Dynasty, Your Majesty! Please also send a team of troops to protect the Lin Mansion." , Protect Gege!" the admiral of the nine gates said excitedly.

When Daiyu heard about it, she shook her hands in a panic, and said with a bitter face, "Thank you for your kindness. The Lin Mansion are all low-level people, how can they see such momentum? After the guards leave, I'm afraid people will panic! My Lin Mansion is safe, and I am here The Lin Mansion will solve it by itself. My lord should do the big things, and the Lin Mansion won't bother my lord!"

Hearing this, the emperor had no choice but to give up.

All the ministers and the emperor are like a mirror in their hearts.This Daiyu.Although don't give a reward.But it's more powerful than asking for a reward.Now that the Lin Fu's grain trucks are unimpeded, how much less tax has been paid? !Besides, Daiyu said it out of her mouth.It's not easy to refute.She is for disaster relief!Besides, she won't drive up food prices, she always thinks of the common people, and then she can earn a lot of money.This Daiyu.If the court is an official, he is a genius!Wizards are rare!

However, as the court.For Daiyu, a reward of 10 taels of silver was still given!

?

When Daiyu returned to the consort's mansion, Yanzi hurried over to inquire.Knowing that Daiyu is safe, I am overjoyed.When she heard that Daiyu wanted her a male sword.Hold Daiyu and kiss!Daiyu couldn't stand Yanzi's enthusiasm, so she pushed her away and said, "You go, I really can't stand you. Now the prince asked to go to his mansion to get the sword. Can you go?!"

Swallow waved his hand and said, "I dare not go alone, Shaoer. It's better for you to accompany me. With you here, I am confident!"

After lunch, Yanzi and Daiyu went to the Eighth Prince's Mansion in a sedan chair.Seeing that it was them, the eighth prince's concubine, Fujin, hurriedly greeted them with smiles.The Eighth Prince's face was darkened, and he said to Yanzi: "Didn't you say you couldn't come to my house? Why are you here again?"

"Hey, Uncle! Didn't I just say that casually, do you take it seriously?!"

"Such a big man, really shameless! You have to learn from Shaoer, and with a clever tongue, you took my sword away. It made me dumb and I couldn't say anything!" The prince did not forget to take revenge on Daiyu.

"If the prince says so, then forget it, we don't want it. Sister, let's go!" As she said, Daiyu smiled and pulled Yanzi to leave.The swallow seemed to weigh a thousand catties on its legs, and couldn't move forward.Daiyu whispered: "You have some promise, okay?! Don't worry, I'll help you with his sword! And it's double swords. As long as you listen to me!"

When Yanzi heard what Daiyu said, she was overjoyed!He turned his head and smiled straight at the prince covering his mouth.Follow Daiyu to the door.

"Hey, hey, brat, brat!" The Eighth Prince was terrified by Yanzi's laughter, and when he saw that Daiyu was about to leave, he rushed out and blocked Daiyu's way: "Why, you are the one who came to my Eighth Prince's mansion." Just come, just leave?!"

"I heard that the Eighth Prince means that it is impossible to force us to stay?!" Daiyu joked.

"You're a good boy when you get cheap! My sword is gone, why don't I complain?!" The Eighth Prince said aggrievedly.

"My lord, just take me for nonsense, I don't want your sword!" Daiyu said, stepped past the eighth lord, and walked out.

"Stop for me." The Eighth Prince stopped him again, and said in a soft tone: "It doesn't matter if you go out, what will people say about me? They say that my Eighth Prince is a villain who doesn't believe what he says, and words don't matter! This is worse than hitting me in the face!"

"Sister, look, uncle is so sincere, let's get it!" Yanzi hurriedly said.

"Sister, I've already told you, what's the use of that male sword? Besides, if you take it, if the prince sees the female sword, his heart will hurt. It's a good treasure, but it has to be separated. You Take it back, but also think about the female sword in the prince's hand. The prince also misses the male sword in your hand. You uncles and nieces, when you meet, you seem to meet a sad person. You stare at me and I stare at you. Why bother? Look at the prince. , Because of a sword, I have been regarded as an enemy. I have never seen such hospitality!"

"Don't act for me either! I was wrong, okay! I'm sorry Gege, but I'll forgive you for being so old and confused!" The Eighth Prince lowered his head and waved his hand: "Take it, take it, I want the female sword, I can only give it to you." Make people laugh at me!"

"Who dares to laugh at the prince?!" Daiyu joked.

"Look, as soon as I got home, I was ridiculed by her! She said that this king has a strange hobby, but he kept a female sword! This king has no choice, okay?!" The eighth prince tilted his head towards Fujin who was standing there. With a wry smile.

"However, this king has conditions!" The Eighth Prince thought of something, straightened his body, and said solemnly.

"What conditions, tell me!" Yanzi hurriedly said, afraid that Daiyu would repent.

"My lord also wants to invest in that, that?"

"Food business!" Fujin walked over and said, "Look at you, it takes so much effort to speak."

Fujin took Daiyu's hand and said: "Hair? You are a hairy!" Fujin looked Daiyu up and down.Daiyu hurriedly saluted.Pulled back by Fujin: "I've heard about the great name for a long time, and it's a great honor to meet you today! Come on, come with me to drink tea. The emperor rewarded us with good tea this time, and I'm still not willing to drink it. Ge Ge came today, it's my taste." the light!"

Fujin smiled, Yanzi turned her head and said to the prince: "Look at a man as big as you, you are not as good as your aunt. It's really a waste of time. Is there anyone who treats guests like you?!"

A few of them walked in, but the prince stood there in a daze, and no one called him.With a wry smile, he shook his head: "Only a girl can't get close to a villain! Oh, my sixth nephew is right! I'm so old, I want this girl to teach me a lesson, I'm ashamed to death!"

An hour passed.Daiyu and Yanzi come out.Looking at the warm portraits of the three, they had a good conversation.Daiyu said: "Fu Jin, you are too polite. Can everyone earn money! I hope everyone can get rich!"

Fujin gave Daiyu a meeting gift, which is not listed here.

The Eighth Prince and Fujin sent Daiyu and Yanzi away and returned to the inner room.The male and female swords were gone, and so was the small treasured sword.The Eighth Prince immediately jumped up and yelled that he was going to chase after Yanzi.Fujin said: "What are you yelling at? That's what I promised to Yanzi. Don't you think about it, the emperor rewarded you with double salary for three years, which is an extra 3 taels of silver, why not invest?! I've made a deal with Xiaoer. He promised to let us invest 5 taels! The other princes only have 1 taels, how much money can they make in a year?! And Yaner said, if there is another business, then he will bring us to buy shares!"

"Oh, my baby!" The Eighth Prince could not listen to Fujin's words, and complained in his mouth: "You know money and money all day long, just like a hairpin! You women are full of money!"

"You old man, are you shameless? Then let me ask you, if you don't have money, you're a fart! If you don't have money, can you pick up wives one by one? Baby, baby, that knife can be used for food Eat? Can you be a silver flower? I warn you, don't provoke Yanzi again. Be nice to her. Both civil and military courts are kind to Yanzi, but you are so weak that you insist on taking the lead. Besides, this frowner's ability You've also learned that if you let her be tricked by Yan Zi, she will kill you?! If you mess up my good business, I'll never end with you!"

The Eighth Prince was reprimanded by Fujin, and half of the anger in his heart went down.Think again, this dead old woman.I will let you spend money all day long, and when the 5 taels of silver has interest, I will use it to marry another house.Thinking of this, the Eighth Prince smiled.How can we know that it is not a blessing if it is a blessing in disguise? ! Lost one treasure, but can pick up another treasure.The Eighth Prince hummed a tune and went to play with Cuihong!

The Eighth Prince was proud of himself, when he suddenly heard a report from the front: "The Empress Dowager has an order to send the Eighth Prince to see him!"

The Eighth Prince went to see the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager said: "After much deliberation, the only one who can take on this important task is you, the Eighth Prince!"

"What's the matter? Just do what the queen mother orders, and the king will do it!"

The Empress Dowager said: "Now Yan'er has a child. He said he was in her arms, but the Queen said that he looks very much like Yan'er! You can investigate this matter and bring the child into the palace as much as possible. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Oh, looking at this frowning child is serious, so?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The queen mother was very dissatisfied with this simple-minded, but brave eighth prince.However, this matter can only be assured by looking for such a person.Others have their own heads, and they will make plans for themselves.Now that Daiyu is gaining momentum, these people dare not offend the Emperor Yanzi out of self-interest, they are unreliable.Only the Eighth Prince, although simple-minded, is loyal.If you ask him to do anything, he can do it one by one.This matter has to be done by such a brave person.
