Chapter 127: Live Well(1/2)
As the autumn harvest approaches, the situation in the south changes again.
The private troops of various aristocratic families gathered together and cooperated with the Northern Army to launch a large-scale counterattack against the princes and kings.
Wars are flying!
Every day, true or false news comes to the capital.
Yesterday I also said that the court was defeated, but today I also said that the princes and kings were defeated.
By tomorrow, another general will rebel.
The vast land in the south is said to have been penetrated, and the harvest this year is probably not guaranteed.
The food was rotten in the fields and no one collected it.
By winter, many people will definitely go hungry, afraid they will die of cold and starvation.
The capital is not peaceful either!
Concubine Jia Shu’s mother’s family started fighting with the Tao family.
Two families, from folk fights to shopping malls, from shopping malls to courts, from courts to harems...
The capital is surging.
The Jia family and Tao family made the capital city turn upside down and people's hearts unstable.
Emperor Yongtai has an ambiguous attitude.
Today, he suppressed the Tao family.
Tomorrow, he will suppress the Jia family again.
He would stand up for Queen Tao and would stand up for Concubine Jia Shu.
A queen and a concubine, became two hills in the harem.
Since Empress Tao was canonized as Queen, she has never suffered such grievances.
After fighting back and forth, one time, I met in the Imperial Garden. After a disagreement, Empress Tao directly slapped Concubine Jia Shu.
Concubine Jia Shu was stunned on the spot.
She didn't dare to fight back.
In any case, the other party is the queen, and she is superior to her in terms of status.
If she fights back, it will become unreasonable if she is right.
So she cried out loudly and ran away with her cheeks.
Everyone in the harem knew about her cry and everyone changed their color.
After the news that Concubine Jia Shu was slapped by Queen Tao, she quickly spread from the harem to the court and the nobles of various aristocrats from various aristocratic families.
The Jia family was indignant and wanted to stand up for Concubine Jia Shu.
Even the sixth prince was complaining in private.
The Tao family was naturally excited and screamed, "Good beating!"
That bitch, Concubine Jia Shu, should have been beaten long ago.
Do you really think that if you are favored by the emperor for a few days, you will be able to make a fortune?
Empress Tao has been favored by the emperor for more than ten years, so what can Concubine Jia Shu compare to?
Compared with beauty and age, Concubine Jia Shu was completely defeated.
The Tao family actually couldn't figure it out, how could the emperor favor Concubine Jia Shu, who was one year older than Empress Tao?
Could it be that it was because of Concubine Jia Shu’s son?
However, there were more than Concubine Jia Shu in the harem who gave birth to a son.
After thinking about it, it must be because of Concubine Jia Shu’s family background.
The Jia family is considered a middle-class family, and their fathers and brothers are both officials in the court. The family members, who are studying and serving as officials, are cleaner than the Tao family in terms of basics.
The biggest advantage is that the Jia family does not have the blood of the princes and kings in the world.
Since the Tao family killed all the princes and kings in the world for the emperor, they have never been cleaned up since then, and they have been completely black.
The two families fought in the court and had already affected the war in the south.
Only then did Emperor Yongtai take action to suppress them, so that they could be more at peace.
Wars in the south are in full swing...
It’s just that the distance is far away, and the news cannot be transmitted to the capital on time.
No one can tell whether the victory or defeat is the right one.
It's still the excitement in front of you, and it's enjoyable to watch.
The sixth prince asked for an order to go to the Northern Army to experience the training, and Emperor Yongtai nodded in agreement.
Now, the third prince and the sixth prince are all in the Northern Army, and they are afraid they will fight.
Only the second prince Xiao Chengwen is out of the matter.
He is a sick man, who does not go to court, participates in politics, and does not discuss politics.
He is just a idle prince who is taking the title and the salary. He does nothing every day, either taking medicine or preparing for medicine.
No one paid attention to him.
He doesn't want to get the attention of outsiders either.
However, as it was time to collect debts, there was no news about Yan Yunge.
She doesn't want to betray the debt.
Eunuch Fei made a harsh statement, "If Yan Yunge is dependent on the debt, the old slave will take someone to settle her villa."
Xiao Chengwen did not comment.
Yan Yunqi walked in from outside, dissatisfied with the fact that her father-in-law Fei said, "My fourth sister cannot be able to pay the debt. It is the autumn harvest season, and the villa is probably busy now. Even if they have to pay the bill, they have to wait another month and a half to wait until the villa is finished with the autumn harvest."
What else did Eunuch Fei want to say, but was stopped by Xiao Chengwen.
Xiao Chengwen said: "I believe that Miss Yan Si will not blame the account. Even if she dares to rely on Your Highness’s account, I don’t think she dare to rely on the account of the Young Mansion. There is no movement in the Young Mansion, so I am not in a hurry."
Yan Yunqi sat down, "I don't know how your highness and the fourth sister discussed cooperation. I only know that the fourth sister will give you a sum of food this year. I wonder if your highness has a warehouse to store this food?"
"What are the opinions of Madam?"
Yan Yunqi said bluntly: "There is a grain shop in my dowry. If Your Highness can trust me, you can sell the grain in my grain shop. I wonder what your Highness wants?"
Xiao Chengwen laughed, "Madam is intent! My Highness is willing to sell the grain in his wife's grain shop. How to operate it, Eunuch Fei will discuss with the manager of the grain shop."
Yan Yunqi thanked solemnly, "Thank you for your trust."
"We are a husband and wife, and the wife doesn't have to see each other. I'm very curious about the fact that how much food is taken in a year for the wife's grain shop?"
"I haven't paid attention to the specific amount, it should be less than a thousand dan."
oh!
The cargo volume of less than a thousand dan can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized grain shop.
The annual delivery volume of those big grain shops is at least a few thousand dan or tens of thousands of dan.
Xiao Chengwen pinched his chin and asked for food, of course not to ask for money.
He is to support people.
Raise a group of people who can use it for him.
Yan Yunge's food will solve his big problems.
However, he didn't need to talk to Yan Yunqi about these things.
Eunuch Fei was a little anxious. When Yan Yunqi left, he asked, "Your Highness really wants to sell the food in his wife's grain shop?"
Xiao Chengwen smiled softly, "Give her two or three hundred dans of food to be considered as a complete relationship between me and her husband and wife."
Eunuch Fei breathed a sigh of relief, only two or three hundred harbors of food, not much, and could bear it.
However, Your Highness is really generous to his wife.
At this time, someone from Weiyang Palace summoned Xiao Chengwen into the palace.
Xiao Chengwen was obviously a little surprised and smiled again in a blink of an eye, "It's rare that my mother would actually summon Your Highness to the palace."
Eunuch Fei asked, "Does Your Highness want to enter the palace? Do you want the old slave to send the palace servant?"
"No need! The mother rarely summons me. I will naturally have to give you enough face and serve you to change your clothes!"
"promise!"
...
Xiao Chengwen dressed in a fresh dress and set off for the palace.
