Just now, Cui Yun was not seen waiting in the Nuan Pavilion. When I asked Miss Aning, she said she didn't know where Cui Yun was now. Why is it so hard to find someone who can usually be seen without any trouble?
"What are you looking around for? Don't you know that this is a crime in the palace?"
Cui Jun's voice suddenly sounded behind Lu Qingfeng. Lu Qingfeng looked back in surprise, but a different emotion came into his heart.
"Ms. Cui, I'm here specifically to see you."
Cui Yun nodded and asked indifferently, "What's the matter? Just tell me."
This was the first time Lu Qingfeng received such a cold expression from Cui Yun. Although he didn't understand what he meant, he still thought about business and continued to ask, "I just want to ask, who has been there in the past few days?"
Have you met the Queen Mother?"
Cui Yun suddenly became alert, "Why are you asking this?"
Lu Qingfeng waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, I have no other intentions, and I will never harm the Queen Mother. It's just that Master Xia and I encountered a strange thing in Fengchun..."
"You mean Li Dabao?"
"Yes! Does Ms. Cui also think this person is suspicious?"
Cui Yun nodded and said, "The Queen Mother has never seen this person before, but she is very familiar with this person in her tone of voice, and she has even forgiven him for his disrespect many times!"
Lu Qingfeng was also surprised and said, "How could it be like this..."
Cui Yun became angry when he saw Lu Qingfeng, and his tone became harsh, "But what does the Queen Mother have to do with you?"
Lu Qingfeng pulled Cui Yun aside and whispered, "Do you know who this Li Dabao is?!"
Lu Qingfeng saw Cui Yun's eyes full of doubts, and his heart moved slightly, but he still said in a deep tone, "He is one of the masterminds behind Tiancai Hui!"
"What?!"
"How could you let such a dangerous person see the Queen Mother?!"
Seeing Cui Yun's excited tone, Lu Qingfeng hurriedly tugged on Cui Yun's sleeves to calm her down, "It's the person the Queen Mother asked Master Lin to bring the envoy to. How can we intervene?"
"Ms. Cui, doesn't it feel strange?"
Cui Yun pondered for a long time before slowly speaking, "That's why you came to ask me who the Queen Mother had met before. Do you think someone mentioned Li Dabao to the Queen Mother and even begged for him?!"
Seeing Lu Qingfeng's affirmative look, Cui Yun also became serious, thought for a moment and said, "Since arriving in Chenliu, the Queen Mother has not only reviewed the memorials, but also met with the ladies in Nuan Pavilion every day, and the matters discussed have never been involved.
Fengchun.”
Lu Qingfeng asked anxiously, "Is there no one else?"
Cui Yun frowned and said disgustedly, "Why are you so anxious?! Let me think about it carefully!"
"Yes! I remembered it! Princess Linyang came back yesterday morning and said that Princess Qinghe reluctantly agreed, and Mrs. Li came here in the afternoon and brought a new purse to the Queen Mother."
Lu Qingfeng touched the back of his head, "Who is this Mrs. Li?"
He entered the palace late, and was responsible for guarding the outer palace before driving the carriage for the Queen Mother. He could be considered completely ignorant of the people in the inner palace.
"Mrs. Li was born in the Li family of Jiangzhou and is the sister of Li Lingjiang, the pastor of Yuzhou."
"That means...she and Li Lingfeng can be considered related?"
Cui Yun nodded, "That's natural."
"Does Official Cui know what they said to the Queen Mother?"
Cui Yun frowned and said, "Master Lu, please forgive me for not being able to tell you this."
Lu Qingfeng thought about it for a while. If Cui Yun leaked the Queen Mother's words, it would be really harmful. Now that he has the clues, he should investigate the rest by himself. He clasped his hands and saluted, "However, thank you Cui
I’m a female officer! I’m resigning!”
After saying that, Lu Qingfeng ran away like a gust of wind, leaving only Cui Yun eating ashes on the spot and her words "Hey! Wait a minute!" messy in the wind.
Cui Yun stomped his feet angrily, "If you run so fast, I won't eat you!"
"Really! Exceeded! Exceeded!"
Aning, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, suddenly came out and whispered behind Cui Yun, "What's going on, Ms. Cui? Who made you so angry?"
Cui Jun glanced at Aning's expression and knew that she was teasing him, "Huh, you've been looking at me in the dark for so long and you still ask me?"
Aning could only shrug and said, "I'm just curious. Why is Ms. Cui, who is usually strict with herself and unsmiling, so irritable recently?"
Cui Yun asked doubtfully, "Am I very irritable recently?"
"Hmm...why doesn't it count?"
"Yesterday Chunzhu accidentally broke a clay pot. You scolded me so much that you are still crying in the backyard."
"This morning, the Queen Mother just said that the vegetables were salty, and you almost tore down the kitchen."
"Hiss..." Cui Yun said in disbelief, "Is this really me?"
"That's right, I don't believe that the firecracker that explodes in front of you is still the gentle and generous Cui Cui in the past, so I just saw you coming out in a hurry, so I followed you to find out."
"My maid always thought that you had been snatched away, but she didn't expect that..."
Falling in love.
Cui Yun held her cheek and asked, "Have I...really changed a lot?"
Aning mustered up the courage and nodded: Very big.
"Didn't you realize that Forsythia no longer dares to come to you recently?"
Cui Yun murmured and sat down. Seeing Cui Yun's dejected look, Aning also felt that what she had just said might have been too harsh, and said distressedly, "Ms. Cui, do you still remember what you said to the maids before?"
"Why do your ambitions and your unwillingness to meet this obstacle make you feel like a different person?"
Cui Yun lowered his head and remained silent. An Ning tried to persuade her again, but Cui Yun raised her hand to stop An Ning from speaking. "An Ning, you don't have to say anything anymore, I already know it myself."
"Thank you for telling me this today, otherwise I wouldn't know how wrong I was."
"When the Queen Mother tried to persuade Princess Linyang, I didn't take it seriously. I didn't know what the song meant when I first heard it, but when I listened to it again, I became the person in the song... What's the difference between me now and Princess Linyang back then?"
"You go and do your work first. The wedding ceremony will be held in three days. There are still many things to do before the Queen Mother. I...I want to be alone now."
Aning saw the look of understanding on Cui Yun's face, but her hands in her sleeves were tightly clenched. She felt uneasy, but she could only turn around step by step and enter the Dongnuan Pavilion to serve the Queen Mother.
When Sheng Shaoqing saw Aning walking in, he asked casually, "How have the clothes that were sent to Si Yisi been altered?"
Sheng Shaoqing had lost two or three pounds as soon as he arrived in Chenliu, and the dress he brought from Beijing was also a lot wider. He had no choice but to send Si Yi again.
Si asked the female historians to change it according to the current size.
"ah?"
"Ah! Hu Siyi said that it should be delivered tomorrow for the Queen Mother to try again."
Seeing Aning's confused look as if he had just woken up from a big dream, Sheng Shaoqing asked doubtfully, "Where did you come from? You didn't sleep well last night or you were tired today. Why are you so confused?"
Aning grinned and was about to wave his hand to deny it, but Sheng Shaoqing said directly, "When you lie, you like to smile with the right side of your mouth, but your eyes like to look at the left side. Tell me, what are you hiding from me?"
Aning clasped her hands together and prayed in her heart: Ms. Cui, don’t blame me for this!
"nothing………"
"Um?"
"Okay, actually, Ms. Cui has been acting strangely recently. She seems to have some conflicts with Mr. Lu, so she hasn't been thinking about food and food, can't sleep at night, and has become irritable."
"I just looked at her and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but I didn't think she was irritable?"
She had also lost a lot of weight, so she thought Cui Yun had lost weight due to acclimatization like her!
Aning smiled bitterly and said, "Naturally, Miss Cui wouldn't dare to do it in front of the Queen Mother, but there are already many people who have criticized Cui. I'm worried that someone will... put on Miss Cui's shoes in front of the Queen Mother."
Sheng Shaoqing smiled meaninglessly and said, "How could I possibly believe those slanderous words?"
An Ning said solemnly, "Whether the Queen Mother believes it or not is one thing, but if Ms. Cui continues like this, I'm afraid she will lose a lot of people's hearts and it won't be of any help to her!"
Sheng Shaoqing thought about it for a while. If Cui Yun could not carry out her work, her prestige would be greatly reduced. Sheng Shaoqing said seriously, "I understand, I will have a good talk with her."
"You just said that she became like this because she had a fight with Lu Qingfeng?"
Aning shook his head, "From what I see, it doesn't look like that."
"It's more like Miss Cui's wishful thinking and unrequited love."
"how you said that?"
An Ning said confidently, "I have been in the palace for several years, so I still have this kind of vision."
Sheng Shaoqing: Yes, here comes another person who is trapped by love.
why why why!
Sheng Shaoqing felt angry for a while and then suddenly let out a sigh of relief and said, "Aning, please go down first. I'll talk to her after I take your majesty to plow the fields."
We agreed to grow old together, but she baked it secretly.
Didn’t we agree to see different possibilities? How come one and two of them accidentally fell into the trap of love?!
[Host, besides sleeping, do you have any other preferences? 】
Sheng Shaoqing was startled by the sudden question from the system, and he slowly spoke:
"Can you get extra points for this question?"
system:……………
【cannot.】
Sheng Shaoqing: It’s so easy to refuse.
"Then shouldn't you have known everything when you were back-tracking me?"
"Apart from sleeping, food is probably the only thing that can make me fall in love so deeply."
【Okay, one more question.】
[You actually have no interest in the most beautiful human emotions, but this coincides with ours.]
"Hey, you can't say that. I was still very interested in it before."
"But since I discovered that sleeping makes me happier, I don't need it anymore."
System:6.
"And I am also committed to helping every girl who is trapped in love get out of the predicament and either become extremely happy or extremely single!"
[Host, you should focus on the present first and work hard to make Yunzhi's order succeed, otherwise, your prestige value will reach the bottom line again. 】
Sheng Shaoqing:??????
"I've been working hard lately!! Why are points deducted!!!!"
[It’s not that I deducted points, but that when you agreed to Yunzhi and Ji Wenxuan, you already mortgaged part of your points. If the order is successful, your points will increase exponentially, but if the order fails, you know...
…]
Sheng Shaoqing:!!!! Didn’t you tell me earlier?!
The system said aggrievedly: [I told you, every time you agree with them, I remind you to be cautious, but you don’t care! 】
A picture suddenly flashed through Sheng Shaoqing's mind, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He trembled, "What you are talking about...can't be the gray number that flashed by when I agreed?!"
【hold head high!】
[This is a newly developed function that allows you to see changes in points more directly.]
"Then why didn't you just say it was a deduction?!"
The system was confused and said, [Because this is not a deduction of points, but a mortgage!]
"What's the difference between that and deducting points?!"
The system still wanted to explain, but Sheng Shaoqing immediately shut it up and said, "Stop talking, I understand, I'm going to work overtime right now!"
The system still insisted on explaining despite Sheng Shaoqing's obstruction, "The points deduction means that the points will never come back, and the mortgage is temporarily taken out. There is a certain probability that the points will come back doubled, and there is also a possibility that the points will be deducted doubled, so the two are
Different!】
"Okay, okay! It's different! Okay!"
Sheng Shaoqing rushed back frantically and dug out nearly a month's data that Yun Zhicheng had submitted. The data she originally planned to use for research tomorrow seemed to have turned into points that had been mortgaged at that time. If she didn't work hard,
But he will be crushed to pieces!
Chenliu has the most barren land and the sparsest population among the three nearby counties. In addition to certain geographical factors, the more important factor is the extremely frequent wars when the Jin Dynasty fell.
The war has caused countless people to lose their lives. Without people, there will naturally be no one to cultivate the land. The remaining land that can be cultivated is firmly controlled by the local big landowners. In order to protect their own land, they even
There are many soldiers in the family.
The remaining people either become tenant farmers of big landowners or become guardians of big landowners. The tenant farmers pay high land taxes, but they still may not have enough to eat. But whether they have enough to eat or not does not matter to the landlord. The landlord only cares about them.
Those who cannot pay are taxed. Therefore, those who cannot afford to pay have no choice but to leave their homes and join beggar gangs, becoming one of the begging refugees.
It has been many years since the founding of Daliang, and the only one who really paid attention to this matter was the late emperor.
But tax exemption is of no use.
What they lack is land.
In order to fight against the unscrupulous landlords, Yun Zhi, a conscientious representative of the big landowners, has implemented many new laws in Chenliu. No matter what happened before, where you live, or how much tax you have evaded, as long as you are willing to reclaim wasteland in Chenliu, how much can you open?
, these lands are yours.
At the same time, men over fifteen years old are allocated 40 acres of land and space, and women are allocated 20 acres. However, private land sales are not allowed. Five households are one neighbour, five neighbors are one li, and five li are one party. Each level has its own chief.
If someone flees and moves, he will be held accountable at all levels and will be severely punished.
In short, if you migrated here before, you can forget about it, but if you want to run away now, there is no way!
