There was silence in the lord's mansion. Li Rong finally lost interest in teaching the huge parrot to speak, and began to practice his fleet in the swimming pool at home. The enemy fleet commanded by the eldest wife of the He family was always defeated by him.
First.
"Well, my eldest son, if you don't use all the killers in your family who have come from the battlefield, you want me, an illiterate old woman, to be the commander of the fleet. You are the slut of a general, how can this old woman defeat you?"
"Dad said that fleet operations are still blank now, and he wants me to play a few more times. Tactics in inland rivers are of little use on the sea. The most important factor that determines combat power is strong ships and sharp guns. Whoever has the bigger ship will be better off.
Whoever has the most ballistae will take advantage. Daddy wants me to start playing from the lowest level. You are the lowest level in the house. If not you, I will look for someone else."
Li Rong raised his head innocently and looked at the eldest lady of the He family who was gnashing her teeth. The eldest lady became angry and spat at Li Rong from across the pond. No one would be happy to be looked down upon, let alone the eldest lady of the He family who had raised Li Rong since he was a child.
.
Seeing the eldest lady of the He family flinging her sleeves and walking away, Li Rong sighed in a pretentious manner, picked up the ships one by one with a long bamboo pole, asked the servants around him to wipe them clean, and entered with his hands behind his back like a little adult.
room.
The pearl diver followed the bell closely, and the two of them actually talked and laughed very harmoniously. The only one who could persuade the lion was the tiger, and the only one who could persuade the woman was the woman. Yun Ye had been very busy with the fleet affairs recently, so he didn't
When Kung Fu met the grief-stricken pearl diver, Ling Dang volunteered to take on the task as he had nothing to do.
Yun Ye refused to agree at first, fearing that Ling Dang would be hurt. Who knows that Ling Dang patted her chest and said that she would just leave everything to her. Her husband was busy with big things, and she could also help him with small things.
The effect is surprisingly good. The pearl diver is a woman anyway, and she may be able to show a side of herself that she doesn't care about in front of men. But when she sees the beautiful bell, she feels a little ashamed of herself. Although she is not ugly, she has deformed in order to make a living.
Her body still made her feel uncomfortable.
Little Lingdang was very envious of the pearl diver's slender legs. Her own legs were not long enough. She also said that the pearl diver's skin was really good. She pointed at a red bean on her chin and complained for half an hour. She also asked
How does the pearl diver maintain such good skin? Is there a secret?
When the pearl diver said that she looked like this because she had been applying beeswax all year round, the little bell immediately shivered with excitement and dragged the pearl diver to the market to buy beeswax. She planned to apply it all over her body. Since she was on the street
, of course, I have to go shopping. I go to all kinds of shops, and I hold my nose and ask about the price of any shop that sells salted fish. This is one of Ling Dang’s few hobbies.
Yongzhou also has many shops that specialize in selling ready-made clothes. They all learned this from Chang'an. It is said that very few people in Chang'an now cut their own cloth and make clothes. They all go to such stores to buy clothes. There are clothes of all prices.
It's even more economical than doing it yourself. I heard that this is the benefit of large-scale manufacturing.
There is no woman who doesn’t like new clothes, and pearl divers are no exception. When they see colorful clothes, they can’t help but take another look. As long as her eyes stay on a piece of clothing for a little longer, the little bell will immediately ring.
He would ask the female shopkeeper to take off the clothes. After a while, the maid held many clothes in her arms, which made the pearl diver keep looking back. Ling Dang was pregnant and couldn’t wear these clothes. Could it be that they were all bought for me?
of?
"Oh my. Madam, you are so lucky. Look at your belly. The little master will be born in a month at most. The tip of your belly must be where the little master is. My eyes are poisonous."
After congratulating her, the female shopkeeper took a look at Lingdang's chest, put her mouth close to Lingdang's ear and whispered a few words. Lingdang, who was blushing, widened her eyes and said, "It's true!"
"Of course it's true. They are all finely forged. The inner lining is made of the best willow branches that have been roasted and shaped. They are the most flattering to a person's body. Don't worry, they are all made by women. A stinky man can't even look at them.
You are not allowed to look at it. My wife will need it after she gives birth to the child, so what is the use of this girl? This is a craft passed down from Yuezhou."
While the pearl diver was still hesitating, she was pushed away by Ling Dang, the maid and the female shopkeeper. She came out a full hour later, but her tattered linen clothes had long since disappeared, and she had changed into a beautiful blue skirt.
, the hair was also pulled up high, and the chest became very straight with something stuffed in it. Not satisfied with the bell, he pulled out a hairpin from his own head and inserted it into the pearl diver's hair, which immediately attracted attention.
The maid and the female shopkeeper praised.
"Oh my God, you have completely buried a great beauty. Madam, you have such good eyesight. Because of your eyesight, I will give you a 20% discount on all the clothes you bought in the store today. No.
In order to do business, I just ask you to come to visit me often and give me some advice." The female shopkeeper saw that Ling Dang was no ordinary woman and immediately flattered her.
"That's not necessary. You have worked hard in business and it is not easy to earn two copper coins. My husband does not allow me to take advantage of others. It is whatever it is. You are welcome."
Hearing what the lady said, the little maid immediately came out to help: "It's funny, my wife doesn't lack your discount. As long as your goods are good and my wife likes them, money is nothing. What my family doesn't lack most is money."
, Hum hum, the Yuezhou you just mentioned was built by my father, and this Yongzhou city was also built by my father."
The female shopkeeper quickly bowed and apologized. This is a truly wealthy family. If you lower the price, you will be reprimanded. This is a lesson. The pearl diver also discovered that there is another way to live in the world.
When they got home, the two of them had become good friends. Ling Dang had a big belly and couldn't sit still. She leaned on the soft couch and said, "Sister, don't resent my husband. He is a general, so his temper is inevitably a little rough. He is definitely
I am a good man. You should know this. You made a mistake. When you held me hostage, your husband said he would kill all your people. This is not to scare you. My husband can really do it. You are too reckless.
Barging in without asking questions.
But it’s okay. If you come to my house, if you go to the palace opposite, you will only die. I have seen your sister, and she is indeed living well. If she doesn’t want you to appear in front of her, then don’t appear. Such a
You've been carrying this big burden for so many years, haven't you had enough? Now it's time to think about yourself.
I am one year older than you, and I used to be a palace maid. At that time, I liked my husband. He was kind-hearted and very smart. He was almost the smartest person in the world. He often appeared in my dreams. I thought that he would never be seen again in my life.
I had the opportunity to marry him, so I had to pray that I could meet him again in the next life. But God is so considerate. After thousands of twists and turns, I finally married my husband. Now I live a very comfortable life, and my husband loves me very much.
You can do it too. Your sister doesn't need you, but others need you. There is always someone waiting for you somewhere. You haven't tasted such a beautiful taste yet, so why should you abuse yourself? The days ahead will be long.
where."
The pearl diver was silent for a long time, with tears falling on the ground. She choked and told Ling Ding her story one by one. Ling Ding couldn't help but cry with her when she heard the sadness.
When Yun Ye came back, he saw that the pearl diver had changed a lot. Although she was still a little cold, it was good to be alive. Yun Ye couldn't help but feel strange about Xiao Ling Dang's methods.
When she saw Little Bell applying beeswax to her body, she knew it was the pearl diver's idea: "Don't just apply random things on your body. You are pregnant now, so you must be very thoughtful and apply wax on your body."
It will clog the pores and make you more likely to get sick. Be obedient."
"Ruhua won't lie to me. She said that she has been wearing beeswax since she was a child, so her skin is so good." Little Lingdang is so stubborn about this kind of thing that she seems to have become a different person, just like her love for delicious food when she was a child, it is difficult to change.
"Ruhua? Who gave this name? What's your daughter's name like Ruhua? Her sister won't be called Furong, right?" Yun Ye was very uncomfortable with these two names.
"That's not true. Her sister's name is Ruyu. Her parents hope that the two sisters will grow up like flowers and jade. As expected, she lives up to her name, but she is pitiful. She has been called Lingdang all her life and doesn't even have a real name." As long as she talks about her parents, Lingdang.
The mood is depressed.
"Nonsense, that was before you got married. Did your husband know when you got married that you are now called Yun Lingdang? What a beautiful name, the bell in the clouds. When the bell rings, it is the fairy descending to earth. You were born to prepare it for me. Don't believe it.
Go take a look at your own official certificate. It says Yun Lingdang on it. Did you not read it when I gave it to you?"
"I have an official certificate? Oh, by the way, you gave me a note when we got married. Is that what it was?" The confused Lingdang saw her husband staring at her and hurriedly ran to her little box to rummage around.
, and finally found a light yellow envelope covered with brocade from the bottom. After opening it, he shouted excitedly: "Damn it, Grandma Chen, aren't you just a ninth-grade female official? At first, you said I was lazy and lazy.
I can only be a palace maid for the rest of my life, but now that I am a seventh-grade lady, I am going to beat you up now, you ugly ninth-grade old woman!"
The wind started blowing outside the window, and Yun Ye knew that he wouldn't be able to stay in Yongzhou for long. The trade wind started to rise, and he would go to sea. As long as the fleet was trained, it would follow the trade wind, all the way from Lingnan, into the unknown blue.
In a sea of color.
"Husband, can I show this letter to Ruhua tomorrow? I want her to know that I am the real wife."
"Of course you can. This is your official certificate. You can just put it on a chain and hang it on your chest. This thing was originally used to honor the ancestors. My bell is a seventh-grade royal decree. See Madam!"
Yun Ye cupped his hands in a joking manner, and Ling Dang waved his hands like a big shot in the palace and said, "No need to give in..." After saying that, he burst into laughter. Yun Ye quickly held him back, not daring to make a fuss about Niu Gao.
