Chapter 23 Fighting with the Little Emperor for Women 4
In Cining Palace, a storyteller is going on, "The Legend of Dayu'er", which is what Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) is best at.
In later generations, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) liked to read the history and interpretation of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang the most, which is why he speaks so fluently and vividly today.
Everyone was attracted by the story of Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi), and they all sighed and shed tears silently.
When it came to the most emotional part, even Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) herself shed two lines of tears.
When people reach the point of emotion, they realize that all feelings are "pain".
The Empress Dowager let out a long sigh and said, "Master Xiao Jia's storytelling is very exciting, but...does it have anything to do with this draft?"
After saying that, the Empress Dowager walked away.
"Oh, it's all in vain." Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) wailed in her heart. It's really rare to be able to maintain such a clear mind under such circumstances. She deserves to be the first empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty.
The little emperor was moved to tears, but what's the use? In the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's marriage had always been decided by the women in the harem.
The coquettish eldest princess didn't know when she came to Cining Palace. She was also in tears. While shedding tears, she said: "It's hard to be a woman. It's even harder to be a woman in the palace. It's even harder to be a powerful one."
It is even more difficult for women in the palace."
Isn't this a copy of the famous quote of later famous movie star Liu Xiaoqing?
The eldest princess was not taboo about the difference between men and women at all. She simply took Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) by the hand and said: "You just talked about Da Yuer's humiliation and sacrifice for her son to become the emperor. There must be more to it, so you can tell me another one."
chant."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) stretched out his hand to the eldest princess and said, "If you want to listen to storytelling, please give me money."
"What kind of money will you give me? I'll see if you make everyone cry."
"If you say you cry, you mean you are moved. If you say you are moved, you have to give money. How can there be no storytelling in the world for free?"
"This is what I, the princess, reward you with."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) picked up a five thousand tael silver note from the eldest princess and carefully put it into his sleeve pocket, "This is the money from the last round. I want to hear more money."
"Why don't you go and grab it?"
"Isn't this just robbing? If you do the math, there are hundreds of maids in Cining Palace. Listening to storytelling is worth one tael of silver per person. Plus more than a hundred eunuchs, each eunuch is also worth one tael of silver. You princesses
It's twenty taels of silver per person, and your eldest princess is one thousand taels of silver... After all, you should still owe me five hundred taels of silver, so I'll give you a 95% discount, so let's forget it."
"Master Xiao Jia, don't forget that your fate is in the hands of this princess."
"Princess, please don't forget that Xue Pan is my best friend. I don't dare to do anything, but I can take him to the flower world to enjoy it. You can't control this, right? Big Xue is not that very self-disciplined.
person, so the balance did not tip to your side."
The eldest princess gritted her silver teeth and said, "I can prevent you from leaving this Cining Palace."
"Eldest Princess, please don't forget that I am a descendant of an immortal, and I am also known as the 'Little God of War'. Of course, I have some tricks that ordinary people don't know about."
Seeing the calm expression in front of her, the eldest princess was confused. No one had ever dared to "oppose" her like this, let alone threaten her nakedly like this, and no one had ever ignored her like he did today.
Does this guy really have the ability to escape?
The eldest princess gritted her teeth several times, clenched her fists, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Her whole body relaxed like a deflated ball. She took out a stack of silver notes from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Baoyu.
(burning small stones).
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) did not answer, and whispered: "Actually, I also plagiarized other people's books. I have such a small book. The day I printed it, I will definitely give the first set to the eldest princess."
The eldest princess's eyes suddenly lit up.
"This is a good business. If tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of copies of such a book are printed, it will be a big business and then sold to other countries. Haha, I can have as many good books as I want.
"
Who is this person? He actually talks about business at this time. It’s really dumbfounding.
Didn’t the Qing Dynasty not allow the royal family to do business with the children of the Eight Banners? What’s the problem?
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s brain was running at high speed. When he saw that the jade on the princess's waist was engraved with a small character "Xue", Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) suddenly understood that she was looking for work for her "concubine".
Son.
Although the eldest princess cannot do business herself, the eldest son of the Xue family is a well-established imperial merchant.
It seems that the eldest princess has a deep affection for Xue Da Fool.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) quickly snatched all the banknotes from the eldest princess's hand and put them in his sleeve pocket while saying: "Master Xue has been asking about any good business projects I have recently. Princess eldest, please tell me.
All I do are big projects, can I give him this big idiot? The only thing he can do is to be my follower for a year. Only in this way can he barely manage a small store. Let him manage a small store of mine.
, I’m afraid this little money is a huge loss.”
The longer the princess listened, the more relaxed she became. Mr. Jia, known as the "business geek", had agreed to accept his beloved man as his apprentice.
Seeing the eldest princess' beaming smile, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) said angrily: "Eldest princess, don't be too happy too early. If you can't graduate in one year, you can only be a junior student for three more years."
"You can only become a master by enduring hardships. Besides, how can you ruin your reputation with someone like Mr. Xiao Jia?"
"I have never had a good reputation. But as long as the eldest princess helps me, maybe the Xue family can really produce a business wizard."
"I know who he is better than anyone else, so you don't need to confuse me... In fact, the emperor doesn't want to marry any messy woman, so the emperor decided to hold a large-scale poetry competition, inviting literati and poets from the capital to participate, and at the same time, these selections were
The beautiful girl is offering a reward... Do you think this method is good?"
Looking at the eldest princess's blinking eyes, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) said: "Is this your idea?"
"It's his. He said he didn't want his sister... to suffer."
I didn't expect that this idiot Xue was so scheming. Just because of this, I want to make him the biggest red-top businessman in the Qing Dynasty, even more powerful than that Hu Xueyan.
This is all right. Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) has finally let go of most of his worries. It's just a poem competition. What I'm not afraid of the most is poetry competition.
(In the Palace Poetry Competition, whether Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) can come out on top and win the beauty, please see the breakdown in the next round.)
