When they arrived at the palace, Huami was shocked when she saw the "Yifu" sign. She looked at Hyun and stammered:
"Dare you ask me, sir..."
Since he was asked to be the housekeeper, Hyun felt that there was no need to hide anything and said straightforwardly:
"The concubine of King Yi."
Huami fainted with a faint sound, and the three of them, as well as Yi Chou and Ding Mao who were guarding the door, were immediately relieved by laughter.
After Ning Fang came back, Hyun Shen mysteriously stuffed the jewelry box wrapped in red cloth into his arms. Ning Fang touched it, looked at it, and asked puzzledly:
"Give me a box for what?"
Hyun still said mysteriously:
"open to take a look."
Ning Yan untied the cloth and saw the jewelry box. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. After opening it, he saw various accessories inside and turned to look out the window:
"The sun will rise in the west today?"
Hyunjiao slapped him angrily, sat next to him, touched the ornaments and said:
"I've bought it for my brother, I've bought it for King Yun, and I've bought it for Yan, but I've never bought it for you."
As she talked, she felt so pitiful about Ning Yin. She was so incompetent as a wife. Other wives made their own clothes for their husbands to wear. She didn’t know how to do it, so she could only buy cloth and let others make it; other people’s wives were all She was taking care of him at home, but for the sake of Kun Yuguo, she left Ning Yin and her three children to busy herself. The more she thought about it, the more she felt sorry for Ning Yin.
Holding Ning Yan’s neck:
"I feel sorry for you. I was always careless. I didn't consider many things as carefully as you did. I always enjoyed your care as a matter of course, and I was so willful to you. I'm really sorry."
Ning Fang listened and realized something was wrong with Hyun's voice. He put the jewelry box on the table and tore her off his neck. When he saw her crying, he felt distressed and moved, and felt very sweet and beautiful in his heart.
He hugged her and comforted her:
"Who said you didn't take good care of me? My meticulousness is superficial, your meticulousness is on the inside. You don't say anything, but you do everything well. My silly girl, don't blame yourself, you did it Very good, I don’t know how many lifetimes of blessings I have accumulated before I can marry you in this life. Don’t cry, I want to cry too.”
Hyun buried her face in his chest and said angrily:
"Who's crying! You're the one who's crying! I'm not crying!"
Ning Yu smiled and rubbed Hyun's arm:
"Yes, I cried. Our black-faced Master Zhuo didn't cry. Let me see, it's time for the black-faced Master Zhuo to change into a colorful-faced Master Zhuo."
After saying this, he teased the little person. The little person in his arms was very arrogant at this time. The little person didn't make him laugh. Instead, he laughed first and felt extremely happy. He thanked Ning Sheng in his heart for granting Hyun his marriage to him. Get this happiness.
After that, Huami fainted again because she knew that Hyun was the "Black-faced Master" who was highly praised by the public. After this beating, Huami never fainted from shock again.
After some observation, there are six people left out of the ten people originally bought. There are not many people in the palace, and there is not much work. When there is a lot of work, we can hire short-term workers, so the six people have not been added for the time being. In Xuan's words , when there are many people, there will be idlers. When people are idle, there will be more disputes. If there are too many disputes, there will be no peace in the home.
Qing'er and Niao were also married. Although they both gave them slave release documents, they both expressed that they still wanted to take care of Ning Fang and Xun in the palace. Going out would be tantamount to indirectly killing people, so I cleared a yard for them to live in.
Ning Sheng is the happiest person with fewer servants. This will give Ning Feng more money. He doesn't want to watch Ning Feng and Xun living with their belts tightened. Although Prince Yi's palace has never tightened their belts, in Ning Sheng's eyes Here, the two of them have been through enough hardships, so it's probably his partiality.
Things in the palace were arranged properly, and Xuan went to find Ning Sheng in a hurry.
The Spring Festival is coming soon, and Hyun thought about implementing various methods to attract tourists that modern places have introduced during the Spring Festival holiday, and implemented them in Kunyu Kingdom, setting up points at the four border passes and the capital. As soon as the idea came up, it immediately aroused fierce excitement. The argument, especially the four points set up at the border, is to attract neighboring countries to come. Some people think that this is tantamount to opening the door. What if the neighboring countries use this to attack Kunyu State? How to defend it? I went through all the security checks and so on.
Jiang Wu understood what Yun was thinking. He still felt aggrieved when he thought about the cowardice he suffered in the Zhao Kingdom. Therefore, although he thought it was dangerous, he still agreed first; Ru Yuan listened to Jiang Wu's story about what they had experienced in the Zhao Kingdom. , Since quitting medicine, Ru Yuan has never seen anything that can make Jiang Wu so angry, and Ru Yuan can feel the sorrow of a weak country and the cry of wanting to become strong through Jiang Wu's expressions, so, After thinking about it for a while, he agreed; Ning Yan was a die-hard fan of Hyun, and he didn’t care about right or wrong. As long as it was proposed by Hyun, he would unconditionally agree and support it; Ning Min would do anything, and if it passed, he would do it seriously. If his work is not passed, he will be idle, so now there are three and a half people who agree with it.
The ones who were still hesitating were Ning Sheng, Ning Yu, Le Zhengkang and Huo Jiu. Ning Yu wanted to agree, but after all, this involved the safety of Kunyu country, so he couldn't be emotional. Seeing Yun looking at him expectantly, he smiled bitterly and pinched his hand. Grab her face.
The few people did not discuss the result. Ning Sheng raised it in the morning the next day, but he did not say that it was General Zhuo who raised it. If it was said that it was General Zhuo who raised it, some people would firmly oppose it out of disgust and crowding. This would Affecting his decision-making, in fact, he still prefers Hyun's proposal, but safety issues are always a hurdle that cannot be overcome.
As soon as it was brought up, it was true that both sides were arguing again and again, but nothing came of it. Ning Sheng had a headache. Although there were still more than two months before the Chinese New Year, if we really wanted to set up a gathering point, there would be many There is work to be done, and I'm afraid I'll be a little nervous for two months.
After the dynasty, I went to Linhua’s place to have some peace and quiet.
Lin Hua made him a cup of refreshing tea and helped him rub his temples:
"Did those people in the court make you angry again?"
Ning Sheng took a sip of tea, sighed, and explained Hyun's proposal.
After listening, Lin Hua thought for a moment:
"It sounds like there are pros and cons."
Ning Sheng nodded:
"Yeah, actually I'm still leaning towards this proposal, but I'm still worried about the safety issue, which is also the focus of the debate."
"By the way, let's talk to my uncle. He has traveled all over the country alone these years, so he may have different opinions."
Ning Cheng's mind lit up:
"I forgot about my uncle. Is he back?"
"You have to ask your mother about this."
Ning Sheng responded twice, but the person had disappeared.
I went to Ruluoshu and asked, and she said that she was back and preparing to get married.
Ning Sheng was shocked:
"Why didn't you hear any news?!"
As Luo Xi said with a smile:
"Brother said, since you're so young, don't worry about it like that. Just invite some relatives and friends to get together. Besides, I don't want the people in the Paili Department to know that he's still alive."
Ning Sheng nodded absently:
"If uncle has concerns, just do as he says."
Then he left in a puff of smoke and summoned Ruluonian into the palace.
Ru Luo Nian was led to Ning Sheng's study in the harem. Ning Sheng prepared snacks and tea. After doing some household chores, Ning Sheng explained all the suggestions made by Ning Sheng.
Ru Luo Nian thought about it carefully and said:
"I think it's a good idea."
"But safety issues..."
Ruluo Nian raised his hand to interrupt him:
"Is it safe if the door is closed? Your Majesty should know better than me how weak the Kunyu Kingdom is. If it weren't for the crossbows involved in the process, I'm afraid it would have been destroyed by the neighboring countries. After merging the Dialing Department, the one facing directly to the north is Rouran, last time we went out, we were unable to negotiate cooperation with Zhao. If we go out this year and fail to negotiate cooperation with Rouran again, then both our north and south will be in danger. It would be easier for these two countries to destroy us than to kill an ant. Since it is dangerous to open the door and it is still dangerous to close the door, it is better to open the door and maybe create opportunities for cooperation with these two countries. Even if there is no opportunity, at least we can make money and use this money to strengthen ourselves. We are strong. , even if there is no crossbow involved, those people would not dare to attack."
Ning Sheng thought about it and preferred Hyun, but he was still a little worried:
"Uncle, can you tell me more? I still feel unsure."
Ru Luo Nian smiled and said:
"Why not give it a try? I believe that Hyun will do a good job in defense. Facts are the most convincing thing for you."
After sending Ru Luo Nian away, Ning Sheng thought carefully and asked Xiao Zhenzi to recruit General Zhuo into the palace. Xiao Zhenzi went out for a while and came back and said that General Zhuo was at the craftsman's place:
"General Zhuo said he is busy now and asked the Emperor to wait."
Ning Sheng was stunned. Hyun was always making things every time she went to the craftsmen, and she really, really hated being disturbed when she was working. When disturbed, her temper would be very bad, and she thought to herself:
Is it possible that Hyun is going to do something again?
When he was stunned, Xiao Zhenzi secretly observed his expression. Who dared to do this to the emperor? Others were waiting for the emperor. How could the emperor wait for others? Mr. Zhuo was only a fifth-rank official, how could he dare to be so arrogant? Although he didn't add any embellishment when passing on what he said, but speaking so plainly, it still made the emperor feel troubled. Xiao Zhenzi saw Ning Sheng stunned, thinking that he was offended by Master Zhuo's rudeness, and was secretly happy in his heart.
Why did Xiao Zhenzi target Hyun? It was because of Yu Ai.
Yu Ai is the adopted son of Eunuch Jing. He is an ordinary person with little talent. The recommender recommended him to the official position because of Eunuch Jing's face. And the little Zhenzi was brought up and promoted by Eunuch Jing. The two of them They have always had a good relationship with each other. Since they have a good relationship, they must be on the same page. Therefore, when Yu Ai came back and told Xiao Zhenzi how General Zhuo was showing off on the way, how he negotiated cooperation with Shi Yijian, how he stole his job, and his opportunity. , the two of them colluded and scolded General Zhuo as worthless. Therefore, when Xiao Zhenzi got the chance to crush Master Zhuo, of course he would spare no effort.
But it is a pity that Eunuch Jing only told Xiao Xuzi to be polite to Hyun, who was Ning Sheng's treasure, but did not mention the relationship between Hyun and Master Zhuo. Therefore, his duplicitous nature was fully displayed in front of Hyun. This made Hyun even more disgusted and defensive towards him. It was precisely because he didn't know the relationship between Hyun and Master Zhuo that he frequently made mistakes when guessing Ning Sheng's attitude towards Master Zhuo. Yu Ai even made mistakes after Eunuch Jing retired. He kicked Eunuch Jing away and left Eunuch Jing to fend for himself in his hometown.
Before eunuchs enter the palace, they always have some kind of last resort. Some are even sold to the palace by their families. However, when they leave the palace and want to go home, they are looked down upon everywhere, and even their families don't want to see them. Therefore, No matter how good the family said at the beginning, once they cut off their lifeblood and enter the palace, it means they have no home. Therefore, even though Eunuch Jing returned to his hometown, bought land and built a house, he was still ostracized and not allowed to see him. , coupled with age, there will always be inconvenient times. I was counting on Yu Ai, but I didn't expect that he was a white-eyed wolf. Seeing that there was no more money to be squeezed, he kicked Eunuch Jing away, even though Eunuch Jing was in the palace. Throughout my life, I have saved a lot of money, but my life is still not good. (To be continued)
