591-600

Chapter 591: Two years later, they are welcome to come back.

Yuan Xiu saw that Lin Xuezhu looked very serious, so he nodded seriously, "I remember."

Lin Xuezhu said: "It was post-war in the north, and the economy was in depression. We needed to revitalize. Economy, so we need to introduce money from the outside and participate in local circulation. But now, in Beijing, our approach is different. "

Every time we talk about the economy, Yuan Xiu feels that there are many things he doesn't understand.

So he sat up straight and waited for Lin Xuezhu's explanation with an attitude of being taught.

Seeing his focused look, Lin Xuezhu resisted the urge to laugh and explained: "The capital is the richest place in the country, with the largest number of dignitaries and merchants. It can be said that the rich people who account for 20% of the population own 80% of the capital's wealth. Yin Qian, do you agree with this statement?"

Yuan Xiu nodded.

Lin Xuezhu continued: "So, if the rich people hold on to their money, there will be less money circulating in the market. Husband, you also know that those powerful people like to hide things in the private treasury of the government. What the Northern Chamber of Commerce wants to do is to take money from the hands of wealthy people and invest it in various industries. For example, improving and manufacturing tools, developing farming, increasing productivity, etc."

Yuan Xiu suddenly realized.

No wonder the Northern Chamber of Commerce that Madam supports sells expensive goods but never makes money from ordinary people.

It turns out that Madam's plan for the morning was like this.

Dig out the money from the hands of the powerful and wealthy businessmen, fill the national treasury, and then use the money in the national treasury to develop various industries and cultivate talents.

Wonderful!

This is no better than confiscating the Zhou family when the deposed emperor had no money.

Such things as confiscating one's family and exterminating one's clan not only damage one's moral character, but also easily lead to resentment.

My wife makes money from rich people by doing business, so that those noble ladies are willing to spend money, and she also has to praise the goods of the Northern Chamber of Commerce.

As for those men who don't like their wives spending money randomly, who cares what they think.

Even if they were dissatisfied, they would not seek revenge from Madam.

To put it bluntly, anyone who questioned Madam in the court would be dealt with by him.

There is also a big sniffer who is ready to spray anytime and anywhere.

Yuan Xiu thought about this matter thoroughly and said, "My wife can develop the Northern Chamber of Commerce in any way she wants. What do I need to do for my husband?"

"Simple, give Jing Lan a waist card so that she can enter the palace at any time if she has something to do. . In addition, I may have to go out of the palace often to do things." Lin Xuezhu said tentatively.

Jing Lan's entry into the palace is a small matter, so he can just do it casually.

But as a queen, she always ran outside the palace, fearing that it was against the rules.

"Madam, just go ahead. Lu Mo is in charge of the imperial army now. Ask him to say hello to his men later. When madam leaves the palace, she must send a few people to protect her." Yuan Xiu said without hesitation.

Lin Xuezhu didn't expect that he would agree so happily, and her heart felt warm.

She also knew that her husband blocked many questioning voices from the court for her.

He even punished many ministers severely for her sake.

Although most of them are people he doesn't like.

But there are some people who have some abilities.

He had no pity at all.

For a king of a country, loyalty is of course more important than ability.

But that loyalty is for the king of a country himself.

However, Yuan Xiu got rid of those who were disloyal to her for her sake.

This is really the bond between husband and wife!

Lin Xuezhu was thinking when she heard Yuan Xiu say: "Madam, you can leave the palace. But now that you are getting older and older, your body is getting heavier. When you want to do something, don't just think about it." No matter what happens, your safety and health are the top priority."

After hearing this, Lin Xuezhu's heart warmed.

She smiled and said, "Husband, don't you know that I am just restless? If you leave me trapped in the palace, you might as well let me go out for a walk. Don't worry, husband, I will be careful about my own body."

"Okay." Yuan Xiu said nothing more.

Now, Lin Xuezhu was busy again.

She had a studio set up in Chunhua Palace, and invited Jiang Qishuang to develop new products with her.

She planned to complete the product line in the powder shop first, and then make other products.

The powder shop attracts the attention of more ladies by launching a new product every month.

Lin Xuezhu discovered that in this ancient time without technology and hard work, using purely natural animal and plant ingredients to make skin care products was surprisingly effective.

Sure enough, what nature gives to human beings is the best.

The bad thing is that for the sake of selfishness and profit, human beings use false advertising to deceive consumers and create the scam of the century.

Lin Xuezhu likes this era more and more.

Simple, real, and simply too good to be true.

Just as the business of the Northern Chamber of Commerce was booming, the first "industrial examination" re-examination kicked off in the capital.

No one knows what the questions in the retest will be like. The focus is on improvisation and daily accumulation.

The venue is in the Gongyuan, each person has a cubicle, and the time limit is three days.

After entering the examination room, the candidates saw a series of carpentry tools, as well as paper and pens in their respective rooms.

The exam question is an application question, which requires candidates to make an item according to a specific purpose.

If you don't know how to do carpentry, you can also choose to use paper and pen to draw your ideas.

This question was asked by the Ministry of Industry because some problems arose when they were making the second drawing drawn by Lin Xuezhu.

I just happened to catch up with the work examination, so I simplified this question and turned it into a test question.

They didn't intend to let the candidates help them solve it, but through different people's different ideas, they might be able to provide them with some ideas.

The Queen said, what is this called...brainstorming.

Yes, it's brainstorming.

So, three days later, the Ministry of Industry received all kinds of strange answers.

Some answers can indeed bring them some inspiration.

Although some of the answers are a little off-topic, it can be seen that the person who answered the question has a thoughtful mind.

Some answers... Well, being locked up in the Gongyuan for three days is quite boring.

Officials from the Ministry of Works carefully selected those who met their requirements.

Ten days later, after careful consideration, sixteen people were selected in this industrial election and became the earliest members of the Manufacturing Office.

Compared with the imperial examination, one needs to pass the township examination and county examination before entering Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival, and then there is the palace examination.

The industrial examination is much simpler. As long as you pass the county examination and go to the capital to take the re-examination, you can decide the candidate.

The sixteen people who were selected were naturally very happy. For those who were not selected, the court gave them another sum of money so that they could go home.

And to encourage them, the court would hold a labor election every two years.

If they are willing, they can observe more and practice more after returning home.

After two years, they are welcome to come back.

Chapter 592 What's the matter? Her daughter is Wuyunna.

Lin Xuezhu gave birth to a little daughter.

It's early autumn and the weather is no longer so hot.

The child was delivered by Jiang Qishuang herself, and Wen Xiuqing, Lu and Lin Jiayuan were all with her.

Yuan Xiu hurried back from court and saw that Lin Xuezhu's bedroom in Chunhua Palace had been tidied up.

"Madam." Yuan Xiu strode forward, without glancing at his daughter, and shook Lin Xuezhu's hand first.

"Thank you for your hard work, madam," he said.

Lin Xuezhu was really tired. She didn't know why. The first pregnancy was so easy, but the second pregnancy was so exhausting.

She said feebly: "I'm afraid this child is not a demon king. She was so noisy when she was in my belly. Giving birth to her was much more difficult than giving birth to her brother."

Lin Xuezhu still remembered that during her third trimester of pregnancy, she had countless nights when her daughter was in her belly. He punched and kicked her, causing her to be unable to sleep.

Moreover, she was not overjoyed in the early stages of pregnancy, but in the later stages, because the little devil kept pushing against her stomach, she was overjoyed.

In order to ensure necessary nutrition, she had to eat and drink while enduring nausea.

The feeling was unbearable.

Generally speaking, people who cannot be dealt with by spiritual spring water are definitely not ordinary people.

Her daughter will become a great person in the future.

Luo Hong brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge. The water used to stew the bird's nest was changed by Lin Xuezhu before.

"Come, madam, have something to eat." Yuan Xiu took the bird's nest porridge, cooled it himself, and fed it to Lin Xuezhu's mouth.

Lin Xuezhu took his hand and drank a bowl of warm bird's nest porridge, finally feeling comfortable in her stomach.

It feels so good to unload.

Lin Xuezhu closed her eyes with contentment and fell asleep after a while.

"Ah——" The little baby in Lu's arms cried loudly.

This sound actually startled Yuan Xiu.

"Hurry and take her out." He waved to Mrs. Lu quickly.

Madam has just fallen asleep. If the child is crying now, he might wake Madam up.

It can be noisy when it is in the belly, and it will not be honest after birth.

No wonder the madam said, this is a demon king.

Knowing that Yuan Xiu felt sorry for Lin Xuezhu, Mrs. Lu quickly smiled helplessly and took the child away.

Wen Xiuqing also led the others out.

Only Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu were left in the room.

Yuan Xiu looked at Lin Xuezhu.

When the child cried just now, she only frowned.

Now that the child has been taken away, she is sleeping peacefully again.

Yuan Xiu also felt a little tired, so he simply sat on the ground beside the bed, leaned against the edge and closed his eyes.

During this time, he was too tired.

On the one hand, we should use the suburbs of Beijing as a pilot project to promote greenhouse cultivation.

To ensure that when winter comes, people can have fresh fruits and vegetables to eat.

On the other hand, heated kang should be promoted in cold areas.

In this way, in case of a cold wave, the mortality rate can be reduced.

These two items, according to Madam, are people's livelihood issues.

He had just ascended the throne last year and the government was unstable, so he had no time or energy to do these two things.

This year, the court has almost been tidied up.

The treasury relies on the Northern Chamber of Commerce to extract a lot of money from the homes of the powerful, which can be subsidized to the people.

Of the four things of clothing, food, shelter and transportation, three are being implemented, and the last one is just missing.

He had discussed it with his wife before.

Traveling is difficult, especially for ordinary people.

Geographical barriers have greatly restricted economic development.

If we want to make it easier to travel between cities and between cities and counties, we need to build roads.

Not only land roads must be built, but water roads must also be built.

This is a big project.

How to plan? Who should be sent to supervise? What risks can be avoided in advance?

Yuan Xiu was still thinking about these things in his dream.

"Aunt Luo Hong, I'm here to deliver Qi-boosting pills to the empress." Lin Chengyao's voice sounded outside the door.

Yuan Xiu woke up with a start. When he looked up, he saw that Lin Xuezhu had woken up and was looking at him with a smile.

"Madam, do you feel your strength has recovered?" Yuan Xiu stood up quickly, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked.

Lin Xuezhu nodded slightly.

Luo Hong came in holding a small box and said with a smile: "Master, Doctor Lin has given you a pill."

"Give it to me." Lin Xuezhu struggled to get up.

Yuan Xiu gave her a hand at the right time, let her sit upright, and stuffed a soft cushion into her back.

Luo Hong said: "Mr. Lin asked his servant to send a message, saying that the empress is a little weak. The dosage of the medicinal materials in this elixir is not very large. The empress will eat it first. After checking her pulse, he will adjust the prescription."

"Understood ." " Lin Xuezhu took the elixir, chewed it in his mouth, and swallowed it with water.

She is a modern person, and after reaching ancient times, she is the last person who wants to drink the bitter medicine soup.

Lin Chengyao had no choice but to refine the supplements given to her into elixirs, seasoning them with licorice, tangerine peel and hawthorn, and make them look like hawthorn balls so that she could eat them.

In fact, Lin Xuezhu felt that she did not need to take any pills, and spiritual spring water was her best supplement.

However, her uncle was so enthusiastic that he was even more anxious than she was when he saw her suffering this pregnancy.

In order to live up to her uncle's kindness, Lin Xuezhu accepted the order.

Luo Hong exited, Yuan Xiu held Lin Xuezhu's hand and asked, "What should we name our daughter?"

We had to face this head-scratching problem again.

Lin Xuezhu still remembered that when they were discussing a name for their son, Yuan Xiu suggested calling him Yuan Chongyu to commemorate the reunion of the couple.

At that time, Lin Xuezhu felt that the name was too hasty and she was actually a little angry.

But thinking about it afterwards, the name Chongyu sounds pretty good, and it seems to go well with the surname "Yuan".

So I thought about it and decided to use this sound.

Just changed the word to Yuan Chongyu.

She felt that the word "Chong" had the flavor of an ancient emperor's family.

Thinking about her husband's talent in naming, Lin Xuezhu threw the problem back and said, "Husband, please name your daughter."

Yuan Xiu's heart skipped a beat.

Thinking of the painful experience of naming his son, he really didn't want to do it again.

That was the first and only time he felt that his wife was as fickle as women in the world.

However, as soon as he kicked the ball out, his wife kicked it back again.

Yuan Xiu thought carefully, combined with his previous plan, and said carefully: "Otherwise, let's call her Yuan Mingyuan. Ming, when the clouds clear, you can see the moon. It was not easy for Madam to conceive her, and now that she is born, it is considered a hardship." The days have come to an end, and the clouds have cleared and the moon has brightened. "

Old Summer Palace?"

What is this name?

Even if the clouds open and the moon shines brightly, what's the matter, her daughter is a dark cloud!

Lin Xuezhu suddenly became angry again.

"As a father like you, you gave your daughter such a meaningful name, which makes our daughter look like a dark cloud. Come on, if you don't want to get better, just leave it to Qin Tian Jian for a divination!" She was breathing heavily.

Yuan Xiu: Let me just say that something as sweet as naming is not suitable for this family.

Chapter 593: Give us a gift box for our flower and fruit tea.

Lin Xuezhu sat in front of the window, admiring the first snow in winter.

The snow is not heavy, and compared to the north, it is simply too childish.

"Luo Hong." she shouted.

Luo Hong opened the door and came in. She asked with a smile, "What are your orders?"

"Get ready, let's go out of the palace," Lin Xuezhu said.

Luo Hong was a little surprised.

The master has been staying in Chunhua Palace since he gave birth to the little princess.

He was probably taking care of himself, and some of the things he was busy with on weekdays were temporarily put on hold.

Why do you suddenly want to go out today?

"Mother, it's very cold outside, be careful of the wind chill." Luo Hong reminded.

"It's okay, go get ready." Lin Xuezhu said and stood up.

Luo Hong quickly asked someone to go to the Qinzheng Palace to report it, and then asked someone to inform Commander Lu. Then she brought two maids to change her master's clothes.

Lin Xuezhu chose a light yellow long skirt with dark patterns.

She likes this style with dark patterns, which is both refined and unobtrusive.

And except for necessary occasions, she usually wears clothes very casually, focusing on comfort and never pays attention to the pomp and pomp of a queen.

She was the only mistress in such a huge palace, so she could really dress however she wanted.

"Empress, do you want to wear this white fox fur cloak or this red fox fur cloak?" Luo Hong asked.

When winter first came, the northern governor sent a cart of furs.

The purest and most beautiful fox furs, one red and one white, were awarded to Lin Xuezhu by Yuan Xiu.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs made these two fox furs into winter cloaks, the white fox fur with red fabric embroidered with silver thread, and the red fox fur with white fabric embroidered with gold thread. Both cloaks are very beautiful.

"The white fox fur one," Lin Xuezhu said.

The color of the clothes inside is already very plain, and the cloak outside could be a little more cheerful.

After all, the new year is approaching.

Luo Hong told the maid to put away the red fox fur, while she put the white fox fur on Lin Xuezhu and helped her out.

A soft sedan was parked at the entrance of the palace, and the interior of the sedan was warmed by the charcoal fire.

Lin Xuezhu got in and the sedan drove to the west gate of the palace. She needed to get out of the sedan and change cars.

The carriage moved forward, followed by several guardsmen dressed as ordinary people.

This was the result of an agreement between Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu, and a compromise between the two parties.

Bring someone for protection, but not too conspicuous, so the guards changed from light to dark.

"Master, where are we going?" Luo Hong also sat in the carriage with Lin Xuezhu.

"Let's go to Dongshi." Lin Xuezhu said.

The stores owned by the Northern Chamber of Commerce are all in Dongshi.

The carriage went smoothly and slowly towards the East Market.

Lin Xuezhu was slightly drowsy due to the charcoal fire in the carriage.

Suddenly, the carriage jolted visibly and then stopped.

Lin Xuezhu woke up immediately from her drowsiness.

Luo Hong raised the curtain and asked sternly: "What happened?"

The coachman quickly replied, "A girl just ran out of the roadside and almost hit the horse, so I had to stop the car quickly."

Lin Xuezhu has always been cautious about this kind of thing. He didn't take it seriously, nothing major happened to the left and right, and he didn't want to make a fuss. He just closed his eyes again after hearing this.

"I'm sorry, I bumped into the noble man." The girl's gentle and clear voice came from outside the carriage.

The sound was so pleasant that Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but open the curtains and take a look outside.

Outside the carriage, a girl in plain clothes was standing, her little face as white as an oval was slightly drooped, and she was very polite.

Lin Xuezhu saw that her clothes were a little thin and her behavior did not look like someone from a small family, so she asked: "It's a cold day, you don't bring a maid, so you just go out for a walk in just this?"

The girl shuddered. , but said very gently: "The rush of coming out made the noble man laugh."

Lin Xuezhu's legs were covered with a small blanket, which Luo Hong prepared for her.

It happened to be hot in the car, so she handed the small blanket out of the window and gave it to the girl, "Take it and go home quickly."

The girl was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand and took the small blanket.

Lin Xuezhu frowned when he saw that the girl seemed to have a red mark on her hand, and winked at Luo Hong.

Luo Hong quickly got out of the car, put a small blanket on the girl, and asked: "Which house is the girl from? It's so cold, don't delay outside, get in the car, our wife will take you back."

The girl hurriedly Shaking his head, "It's okay, I won't bother you, noble man. My home is nearby and I'll go back soon."

Seeing this, Lin Xuezhu didn't ask any more questions, asked Luo Hong to get in the car, and continued walking forward.

Luo Hong said: "The girl has red marks on her face and neck. It looks like she was beaten. Although the clothes she is wearing are not of the best quality, it can be seen that she is not an ordinary girl. It's just that she has She doesn't have any jewelry, and she doesn't look like a young lady from any palace... I can't figure it out." Lin Xuezhu said, "What's wrong with this? She

's probably an unpopular lady from some palace."

What I didn't say is that the girl's father is probably not a good person.

Otherwise, as long as someone supports her, she will not be beaten and kicked out again.

Lin Xuezhu sighed lightly and forgot about the matter.

She does have the heart to care about the injustices in this world, as long as she encounters them.

But this girl clearly doesn't want others to care about her, so why bother with her?

The carriage walked around Dongshi, but Lin Xuezhu didn't get off the car.

However, when she encounters a store she is interested in, she will stop and look at it for a while, or ask Luo Hong to buy something.

When she arrived at the flower and fruit tea shop, she finally got out of the car.

Mrs. Lu is busy in the shop.

After Yuan Xiu ascended the throne, he originally wanted to give the Lu family an honor, but she didn't want it.

Compared to those unrealistic titles, she prefers to be an ordinary person, guarding her small shop and enjoying herself.

So, she worked in the shop during the day, and went home at night with nothing to do. She picked up her favorite music, chess, calligraphy and painting again.

Occasionally, I go to the palace to see my grandson and granddaughter, and my life is very satisfying.

She was very surprised to see Lin Xuezhu coming and hurriedly greeted him.

"Why are you here?" Madam Lu said with a salute.

"What kind of queen is not a queen? Aunt, you are serious. I have already left the palace, and you still scream like that, and people hear it. What if you find someone to assassinate me?" Lin Xuezhu joked.

Mrs. Lu also laughed, "It's my fault. Come on, Xuezhu, sit down and I'll have someone make you some tea."

After saying that, Mrs. Lu asked Lin Xuezhu to go to the back hall and ran to organize things.

After a while, she came in personally carrying a tray, and in a glazed teapot, she brewed this winter's new fragrant pear and kumquat black tea.

It was Lin Xuezhu's idea to use glazed tea sets to entertain guests.

Under the teapot, use a small candle to heat it, and the outside is a silver hollow candle cover.

Under the candlelight, the glass tea set takes on a more translucent luster. Matching the color of the tea soup, it looks exquisite and attractive.

Lin Xuezhu slowly took a sip of fruit tea, and her body became warmer.

She said: "Aunt, it's the end of the year, and everyone has to visit relatives and friends. I'm thinking about giving our flower and fruit tea a gift box."

Chapter 594: Can a little girl not want justice

? "Gift box?" Ms. Lu was very interested in this word.

Lin Xuezhu nodded, "Let's have a dream linkage with Liuli Shop."

"Dream linkage?" Lu didn't understand the word.

Lin Xuezhu smiled and said: "What I mean is to make small packages of the flower and fruit tea in our store, and then pair it with a set of tea sets to make gift boxes and sell them at a high price. Try to make this Dongcheng city Every household carries our gift box when visiting relatives and friends. "

"This is a good idea." Ms. Lu agreed and immediately discussed the details with Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu said: "In this gift box, the types of flower and fruit tea are divided into six types and ten types, with the meanings of six and six smooth and perfect respectively. If the guest wants to choose by himself, should he settle on six or ten types? There are ten kinds. If you don't want to choose, we can match them and then send someone to deliver them to your house. For the rest, my aunt can just discuss it with Aunt Hong and Jing Lan. The box doesn't need to be too expensive. Just paint the flowers and watch the excitement."

"Understood." Lu was full of energy and planned to send Lin Xuezhu away, so he went to the Northern Chamber of Commerce headquarters to discuss the matter with Jing Lan.

Lin Xuezhu had to go to other shops, so he didn't stay long, got into the carriage and left.

Next stop, the powder shop.

Cui'er is in charge of the powder shop.

Lin Xuezhu also told Cui'er about making gift boxes.

However, this gift box is not in a hurry.

Just wait until the weather warms up in spring and ladies and gentlemen go out for a walk, then just push it out.

In the coldest month of winter, the women don't like to go out.

After inspecting the shops, Lin Xuezhu went to the shantang in the suburbs of Beijing.

Since the shantang was built, Wen Xiuqing has been taking care of it.

Although she won't be there every day, she will visit every now and then and care about the children's daily life.

Lin Xuezhu felt that this job was quite suitable for her mother, as it was similar to managing the Lin Mansion.

However, the things in the charity are more complicated and require a lot of energy.

Wen Xiuqing herself was quite happy to do it.

The whole family has things to be busy with. Although she takes care of the entire Lin Mansion's internal affairs, she has a heart that wants to do the same things as everyone else.

So, Lin Xuezhu handed over Shantang to her.

Non-profit, no pressure, just be kind, considerate and not afraid of worries.

The New Year is approaching, and the Lin Mansion is very busy with greetings and deliveries. Wen Xiuqing did not go to the charity hall today.

Lin Xuezhu walked around for a while and was about to go back to the palace.

She originally thought about going back to her parents' house for a meal, but she changed her mind because she was thinking about her children.

It's like this after becoming a mother. No matter where I go, there is a bond in my heart that I can't let go of.

The carriage returned the same way.

As they were walking, the coachman suddenly let out a sigh and said hesitantly: "Madam, I'm looking at you. The girl huddled on the side of the road seems to be the girl we saw before."

Lin Xuezhu opened the curtains and saw that it was really Sort of like.

The girl squatted by the wall of a house, with a small blanket wrapped around her body, and she huddled up.

Lin Xuezhu asked the driver to stop the car and asked Luo Hong to get out and take a look.

When Luo Hong woke her up, the girl's whole face was blue with cold.

Luo Hong quickly pushed the person into the carriage. The girl was trembling, looking at Lin Xuezhu with a pair of gentle and beautiful eyes, and she was speechless.

"Sin." Lin Xuezhu quickly handed her a hand warmer and asked Luo Hong to make tea.

The girl was shivering and drank a bowl of hot tea to warm herself up.

"Thank you for your help." The girl said calmly and gently.

Lin Xuezhu was speechless.

The clay figurine is still very angry. Could it be that this girl is worse than a clay figurine?

I almost froze to death, but I can still be so calm. Could it be that the Bodhisattva reincarnated and came down to experience calamity?

Lin Xuezhu knew that he couldn't get anything out of the girl, so he simply asked Luo Hong to get out of the car and go find the imperial guard who was following him to find out whose house the girl was squatting on just now.

Lin Xuezhu ordered so, and the girl's eyes widened in shock, staring at her and giving orders.

At this time, the girl seemed to be afraid of making things worse, and said: "The little girl's father is Wang Guangzheng, the young minister of Dali Temple. Today, I accidentally angered my father in the palace. My father punished the little girl to think about her fault in front of the palace. Noble man, you don't have to I went to war for this little girl, so I thank you for your help."

"Wang Guangzheng." Lin Xuezhu smiled, "He is still an old acquaintance."

The girl looked up at Lin Xuezhu in shock.

Lin Xuezhu said: "It just so happens that I still have an account to settle with Mr. Wang."

When she heard the noble man opposite calling herself "I", the girl realized something and quickly stood up and knelt down.

He said: "My little lady has met the queen, Queen Jin An."

The only one who can call herself this palace is the empress in the palace, and now in the palace, there is only one empress, the queen. Seeing that

the little girl reacted very quickly, Lin Xuezhu smiled and said: "Since you know my identity, you must also know that I can support you. If you have any grievances, just tell me, I can take care of it."

She thought that Lin Xuezhu was just a noble person from some unknown family, and even if she told her about her affairs, she might not care.

Moreover, the relationship between the adults in this court was complicated, and she was afraid that if she were not careful, she would cause trouble again.

Therefore, when Lin Xuezhu asked her earlier, she made it a trivial matter and declined his kindness.

Now, after hearing that the other party was the queen, she completely let go of her worries, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

So, in the silent atmosphere of the carriage, she told how her father pampered his concubines, killed his wife, forced his wife to death, and abused his legitimate daughter.

After Lin Xuezhu heard this, he was very angry.

Okay, there is only one queen in the emperor's harem, but the ministers dare to indulge in concubines and destroy their wives.

What's more, even if a girl's family makes a big mistake, the father can't let his thinly dressed daughter be punished in the cold outside in the middle of winter.

You know, if it is later, the weather will be colder, but people will freeze to death.

"You are the Young Minister of Dali Temple?" Lin Xuezhu sneered.

The official position has not been promoted!

It seems that after the confession he carefully fabricated for Yuan Xiu was stolen by her, the one he hurriedly made up failed to satisfy his boss!

Otherwise, how could a person who worked so hard to become a young man still be the young minister of Dali Temple?

The strange element has been repaired, and he was busy dealing with the big villains before and after he ascended the throne, but he forgot about these little minions.

Lin Xuezhu thought about it for a while, and then he made a calculation in his mind.

She said to the girl: "Let's do this. I will ask you to be sent to the charity hall in the suburbs of Beijing. You will help with the chores first. At least you will have a place to stay. I will discuss this matter with the emperor after I return. "I will definitely give you justice."

"The little girl may not want justice, but please be kind to the queen and give justice to the little girl's mother." The girl said with a gentle but firm tone.

Chapter 595 Wang Guangzheng was stunned.

Lin Xuezhu returned to the palace and had his children brought over.

These two little guys are more than a year apart in age, and they are both in trouble.

Fortunately, the palace had enough manpower. There were two wet nurses and four maids for one baby, which was more than the number of people serving Lin Xuezhu.

The little girl fell asleep peacefully, her pink and white face was plump and very cute.

Yuan Chongyu's child can already walk and has a certain awareness of the outside world.

At this moment, he was lying next to his sister and looking at her little face attentively.

This scene made Lin Xuezhu laugh.

It happened that Yuan Xiu had finished handling political affairs and came to Chunhua Palace.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu smiling, he also laughed, "Why are you so happy, madam?"

"Husband, look at our daughter, two wet nurses and four maids are not enough, we also have a little guard who is over one year old." Lin Xuezhu said.

Yuan Xiu looked at his daughter and then at his son. As a result, the little guy didn't even turn his eyes. He was very indifferent to his father and only had eyes for his sister.

Children have this kind of magic power that can make people stare at something for a long time and never tire of it.

If Luo Hong hadn't brought someone to pass the meal around, the couple wouldn't have known how long they would have to see their son and daughter.

Lin Xuezhu asked the wet nurse to carry the two children to the next door. She and Yuan Xiu were left alone in the room, sitting opposite each other, eating, and the waiters were sent away.

Yuan Xiu asked: "What did Madam do when she left the palace today?"

Lin Xuezhu said: "I went to check out the shop, chatted with my aunt about business for a while, and even rescued a little girl."

"Oh." Yuan Xiu said. He responded normally and didn't ask any more questions.

As for what his wife wants to do, he just needs to know it and has an idea. There is no need to ask so many details.

Just like the imperial guards who followed him out, as long as nothing special happened, he didn't need them to report.

As long as Madam's safety is not a problem, she can do whatever she wants.

Lin Xuezhu waited for a while and found that Yuan Xiu's reaction was mediocre, so she had to say: "Husband, do you still remember Wang Guangzheng, the young minister of Dali Temple?"

The young minister of Dali Temple is a fourth-rank official, and his official position is not low.

However, Yuan Xiu didn't have a strong impression of this person. It seemed that this person was usually quite low-key.

Lin Xuezhu looked at his expression and said, "When I was in prison, my husband was in a coma for days. I'm afraid he didn't have any impression of this man. Our confession was all written by him. Would you like to see it?" As she

said that, she looked up from the space. , and took out the confession she had hidden.

Yuan Xiu took it, glanced at it casually, and roughly knew that the fabricated charges in the confession were quite outrageous, so a sneer formed on his lips.

"How did Madam get this confession?" he asked.

A sly smile appeared on Lin Xuezhu's lips, and she replied: "Of course I was afraid that he would write his confession too perfectly and steal it while he wasn't paying attention. Later, in order to rush for time, he wrote a messy thing. It seems like nonsense, but it doesn't matter if we just press our fingerprints."

Yuan Xiu laughed.

Thinking about how he missed so many wonderful performances of his wife while he was in a coma, he actually felt a trace of regret in his heart.

Lin Xuezhu said: "The girl I met today is Wang Guangzheng's daughter. Originally I didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but over and over again, for two hours, the girl actually stayed in the ice and snow. He almost froze to death after being punished.

"On the street?" After hearing this, Yuan Xiu finally became interested in this matter.

Generally, when people punish their children, they will deal with it in the inner courtyard.

As the saying goes, family scandals should not be publicized, so why would you throw a girl who has not yet left the palace out of the house?

Even if he doesn't care about the girl's life or death, isn't Wang Guangzheng afraid of being embarrassed?

This sounds unusual.

Lin Xuezhu said: "It's just on the street, it's very outrageous. That girl was still wary of me and didn't tell me the truth. After I revealed my identity to her, she told me something. Then Wang Guangzheng pampered his concubines and killed his wife, and his aunt drove the head of the house to death. That girl was Wang Guangzheng's legitimate daughter, and she had been tortured in the house. I guess that the aunt in the house did what she did today. Wang Guangzheng deliberately pretended to be invisible. The poor girl was only wearing a close-fitting jacket and didn't even have a cloak. She was shivering from the cold. "

Yuan Xiu sneered, "A girl who hasn't left the pavilion is left in the cold. I'm afraid that my aunt's thoughts are not just as simple as a trial. "

A woman attaches great importance to honor, especially a woman from a wealthy family. Before she leaves the palace, it can be said that she cannot leave the house.

Even if you attend a party, the elders in the family will take you out, so there is no reason for anyone to wander outside.

Wang Guangzheng's aunt may have extremely vicious intentions. If she can't kill the girl, she may also want to ruin her reputation.

Lin Xuezhu knew that Yuan Xiu was interested, and continued: "Husband, how can such evil people be allowed to act as monsters in the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor? Shouldn't this Wang Guangzheng be investigated carefully?"

"Where is that girl now?" Yuan Xiu ask.

Lin Xuezhu said: "I sent her to the charity hall in the suburbs of Beijing. It's cold and I'm afraid she'll freeze to death."

Yuan Xiu nodded, "Madam, don't worry, I know about this."

He said so, Lin Xuezhu There is nothing to worry about.

Thinking about Wang Guangzheng's ugly face, she wondered how he became the fourth-ranking Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Ordinarily, the person who had harmed him was now on the throne. He, a fish that slipped through the net, should live a peaceful life. How could he indulge his aunt at home and do such outrageous things?

Even though it was such a cold weather and most people were staying at home, no one might find the girl if she was thrown on the street.

However, there is always a chance in everything.

Could it be that he felt that he was the chosen one and would not encounter ghosts even if he walked a lot at night?

Hum, let him meet the Living King of Hell this time!

In the morning of the next day, after discussing political affairs, the censor Zhongcheng heard that the big troll cleared his throat and went out.

Seeing his smooth movements, the courtiers knew that someone was going to be unlucky again.

Sure enough, today I heard that a big troll was going to troll someone, and the one being trolled was Wang Guangzheng, the young minister of Dali Temple.

Therefore, Wang Guangzheng, who rarely appeared in court and had always tried to reduce his presence, was taken out in full view of the public.

The crime was that he spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, allowed his aunt to commit murder, murdered the head of the house, abused his legitimate daughter, was an unfair man, and was a mediocre official. Bah bah bah, it was simply more exciting than the confession that Wang Guangzheng carefully listed for Yuan Xiu.

Wang Guangzheng himself was shocked after hearing this.

As for that?

Is it a heinous crime to spoil a concubine and destroy a wife?

Why does it become such a heinous crime when it comes to the mouth of Wen Dashou?

Wang Guangzheng was stunned and could not speak.

I was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to defend myself.

Chapter 596: Wang Guangzheng is a complete scoundrel

. The minister of Dali Temple was so anxious that he stood in the line of ministers and winked at Wang Guangzheng.

Wang Guangzheng was in a daze for a moment, and finally glanced sideways and saw his immediate boss.

He also wanted to explain, but for what reason?

Although the words used by the trolls are exaggerated, they are all facts.

In a panic, Wang Guangzheng knelt down and said: "I beg your Majesty to forgive me."

The minister of Dali Temple closed his eyes: Yes, this guy has confessed his crime and is completely hopeless.

Wang Guangzheng was kneeling firmly, not daring to look around.

The way he couldn't straighten his waist looked like a bastard carrying a stone tablet.

Yuan Xiu was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Since I heard that Aiqing has participated in Wang Guangzheng, let this matter be left to the Yushitai to investigate."

Although saying this, the courtiers had different views on the two people from the emperor. The holy meaning was detected in the title.

Wang Guang was about to feel cold.

Yushitai took the job and said he would investigate it carefully.

On this day, Wang Guangzheng returned home shivering.

What greeted him was his concubine Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu is a mature lady, but her charm is still there.

Having been favored for many years, she exudes the air of a royal wife.

"The master is back." Aunt Liu greeted him with a smile.

Wang Guangzheng was so lost that he didn't seem to notice her presence and entered the room with a straight look in his eyes.

Aunt Liu sensed something was wrong and quickly asked, "Master, did something happen in the court?"

"Where is that girl Wang Yajun?" Wang Guangzheng asked blankly, as if he had just come to his senses.

Aunt Liu's heart skipped a beat.

Yesterday, she punished Wang Yajun to follow the rules outside the house, but she forgot for a moment. When she sent someone to call him in the evening, she found that no one was there.

Fortunately, the master didn't ask. She just pretended that nothing happened and secretly sent someone to look for him.

Unexpectedly, I searched all night and found no one.

Now, when she heard the master ask, she was not in a hurry.

He said with a smile: "The girl left the house last night. No one knows where she went. I have sent people out to look for her."

The eldest girl did not return home all night, and if the news spread, there was nothing good to say.

If a person is alive and a basin of dirty water is thrown on her, her reputation will definitely be ruined.

If the person dies, it doesn't matter. There is no evidence of death, and there is no need to even explain.

Aunt Liu thought about it and decided that it was not serious.

Before she could think of it, as soon as she finished speaking, Wang Guangzheng gave her a big slap in the face.

Aunt Liu felt aggrieved and was about to speak out when Wang Guangzheng's fists landed on her one after another.

"Master, master, what's wrong with you? It's me, Liu'er!"

Aunt Liu endured the pain and shouted coquettishly.

Wang Guangzheng punched harder and yelled angrily, "It's all your fault for being such an unworthy person. You look down on her and even though you beat and scold her in the house, why did you drive her out of the house? You Do you know that there are people on the street who don't care about my face at all? Do you know who she met on the street? Do you know how much trouble you have caused me? "Yeah!"

Aunt Liu was furious at first, but after hearing these words, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

As she crawled toward the door, she asked in a tearful voice: "Master, what's the matter that you can't tell me properly? Are you going to beat me to death?"

"Say it carefully? I'll fucking kill you!" Wang Guangzheng said. , grabbed a vase and planned to smash it on Aunt Liu's head.

"Killing people!" Aunt Liu was so frightened that she screamed.

This cry for help woke up Wang Guangzheng.

Yes, if this was smashed down, he would kill someone.

Killing a concubine quietly in the inner house is not a big deal.

But now he is being targeted.

Later, Yushitai will send someone to investigate the case.

If someone died in the inner house at this time, wouldn't that be an additional penalty?

Wang Guangzheng weighed it again and again, and endured the bad breath in his heart.

However, Aunt Liu's bad thoughts turned quickly and she quickly said: "If you want to vent your anger on me, you can do it anytime. But since we have caused trouble, we should first find a way to rectify it."

"Easy it? How to rectify it? That little bastard was seen by Mr. Wen, and today he interfered with my concubine and killed his wife in the court, and the investigators will come to the door soon!" Wang Guangzheng said angrily.

After hearing this, Aunt Liu rolled her eyes and said: "The girl said that the master spoiled the concubine and destroyed his wife. Did the master really spoil the concubine and destroy his wife? Since the master said that Master Wen saw the girl, he actually treated the girl Send him back! Why is he, a man with a family, taking in our girl? Master, you should ask him!"

Wang Guangzheng's eyes lit up when he heard Aunt Liu's confident words.

They both felt that since it was Wen Datai who came out to troll people, Wang Yajun must have been picked up by Wen Datai.

No wonder I couldn't find anyone after searching for so long.

What good things can happen to a girl who has not yet left the court and enters the house of a middle-aged man?

Could it be that the two of them hooked up, and the big troll came to stand up for that little bastard?

Wang Guangzheng was thinking this and felt confident.

He straightened his back and shouted to the outside: "Here comes someone, prepare a car and go to Wen Mansion."

He wants people to go!

The boy heard it and ran to prepare the car.

Wang Guangzheng was racing against time, vowing to throw this basin of dirty water back to Wen Daxiuzi before the people from Yushitai arrived.

When he goes to court next time, he would like to read a copy of the Big Spoiler to see what kind of dignity the entire Yushitai has!

The more Wang Guangzheng thought about it, the more relieved he became, urging the groom all the way to Wen Mansion.

When I arrived at Wen's house, I knocked on the door and asked. I found that Mr. Wen hadn't come home yet, so it was not convenient for Mrs. Wen to receive her foreign husband.

Wang Guangzheng was even happier.

With her smooth talk gone, the remaining Mrs. Wen will still be difficult to deal with.

So Wang Guangzheng asked the housekeeper to inform him that he was here to see his daughter.

After a while, Mrs. Wen's reply came: The Wen family does not have his daughter.

Wang Guangzheng didn't believe it and stood at the door refusing to leave. He insisted on keeping his daughter.

Mrs. Wen had no choice but to find a few strong servants to stand at the door.

If Mr. Wang insists on rushing in, just stop him and don't hurt him.

This move used softness to overcome strength, leaving Wang Guangzheng completely helpless.

You can't get in, and you can't come back. Just standing at the door will not do anything except embarrass you.

He had no choice but to go home in disgrace.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw the big fan sitting in the main room of his house, drinking tea leisurely.

This guy was still wearing official uniform. He probably didn't go home just now and went directly to the Yushitai to file a case.

Wang Guangzheng was furious when he saw him. He stepped forward and asked blankly: "Where is my daughter? Hand her over."

Wen Dafan raised his eyebrows, raised his head, and looked at him as if he were a fool . , asked: "Your daughter, why are you asking me?"

"Stop pretending to be stupid, why did you join me today because you met my daughter yesterday? She is a yellow flower girl who has been hidden by you, and her reputation will be ruined in this life. If it's ruined, just tell me what to do!" Wang Guangzheng is a complete rogue.

Chapter 597 Doting on Concubines and Destroying Wife

As soon as Wen Datou heard this, his whole person was filled with a palette of speechlessness, ridicule, and contempt.

After thinking about it for a moment, he realized how this silly guy thought about the problem.

However, he said nothing in a sinister manner, intending to let this idiot show off again.

Wang Guangzheng felt even more confident when he saw that he was motionless, like a bastard.

It seems that his daughter's innocence has been ruined, and he, a dedicated old father, can't wait to seek justice for his daughter immediately.

The noise spread from the main room to the outside, and everyone who came to investigate the case from the Yushitai heard it.

When Wang Guangzheng was tired of the quarrel, Wen Dashouzi patted the dust on his clothes and stood up.

He stared at Wang Guangzheng and said expressionlessly: "Who told you that your daughter was taken away by me? The person who met your daughter yesterday was the queen. If you want to blackmail someone, fine, go to the palace to find the queen. Ah, let the queen restore your daughter's innocence."

As soon as these words came out, the people outside couldn't help but look into the hall as if they were laughing.

Wang Guangzheng was stunned, and suddenly realized that the matter was serious.

His legs gave out and he fell to the ground.

Queen, he thought of the woman in his memory.

At that time, he was the young minister of Dali Temple and she was a criminal, so she was not afraid of him at all.

Now, he is still the young minister of Dali Temple, and she is already the queen.

It's done, he's done.

That woman will definitely take revenge on him crazily!

Wen Dafanzi lowered his head and glanced at Wang Guangzheng, who was in despair, with a mocking smile on his lips, and shouted to the people outside: "Let's go and investigate the case."

The people scattered, and soon all the servants of Wang Guangzheng's family were gathered. Take control.

The servants in the mansion knew more or less what Wang Guangzheng and Aunt Liu did.

They also understood that the master was mean and ungrateful, and Aunt Liu was ruthless. There was no benefit to be gained from following such a master.

Therefore, just after the people at the Yushitai asked a few questions, someone poured beans out of a bamboo tube and told what Aunt Liu had done to the principal wife and the legitimate daughter.

As for Wang Guangzheng, although there is no evidence that he participated in these things, the things happened in his house, and he is guilty of connivance.

After Wen Dafanzi understood the situation, he had Aunt Liu and her confidants tied up and sent to the Yushitai.

Not long after arriving, someone came to report that the queen had sent Miss Wang over.

Wen Dafanzi admired the emperor and the empress very much. After all, back then, he had a low official position and his daughter was bullied in the palace. It was the empress who sought justice for him.

The emperor and empress will not protect anyone who has done something wrong. He has such confidence.

Aunt Liu's confidant's confession, coupled with Wang Yajun's correction, can already convict Aunt Liu.

Wen Daxiuzi sorted out the files and went to the palace in person to explain the matter clearly to Yuan Xiu.

It turned out that Wang Guangzheng's wife had been in poor health. Wang Guangzheng favored Mrs. Liu, so he took the opportunity to seize the housekeeper's rights from his wife and gave it to Mrs. Liu.

After Mrs. Liu had the power of housekeeping, she could mobilize all the resources in the house. On the contrary, she dared to put her finger on the wife's yard.

Once, the wife of the wife fell ill, and Mrs. Liu wanted to take advantage of her illness to kill her.

First, he found a quack doctor to treat his wife, but the result was that her condition became worse and worse.

Later, I stopped taking many supplements and medicines on the excuse that my wife was weak and could not take any supplements.

The poor lady was already ill. She couldn't even get enough to eat every day, and was tortured to the bone.

When he died, there were only a handful of bones left in his body.

Seeing her mother die so miserably, Wang Yajun's psychological shadow is self-evident.

It's not like she hasn't resisted. She once went to Wang Guangzheng and exposed everything that Aunt Liu had done.

But Wang Guangzheng's heart was biased. He thought that the wife of the wife was in poor health. If she died, it might be helpful to his career if he married someone with a good family background.

Therefore, he reprimanded Wang Yajun severely, scolded her for disrespecting his concubine and being unworthy of a child, and even almost made a move.

You know, in this era, the distinction between direct descendants and concubines is so strict.

As a legitimate daughter, there is no need for Wang Yajun to respect her concubine.

To her, a concubine is not much better than a slave.

After this incident, Wang Yajun finally understood that her father was hopeless.

So, she no longer expected to seek justice from her biological father, so she worked hard to do some needlework and let the little girl sell it outside. In exchange for money, she could buy medicine and food for her mother.

But what she did was soon discovered by Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu found an excuse and beat the little girl to death in front of Wang Yajun.

Wang Yajun looked at the scene of torn flesh and blood, crying and begging for mercy, wishing she could rub her dignity on the ground.

But Mrs. Liu looked at this scene with a happy and cruel smile on her lips.

Wang Yajun shuddered when he saw it.

From that day on, she realized that she could not save her mother.

In my mother's family, there was only one elder brother who was a local official. He was a humble man and could not compete with his father, who was a fourth-rank official.

She thought about the people she knew over and over again, but she couldn't find anyone who could make decisions for them.

Not only that, since the day the little girl was beaten to death, the small courtyard where she and her mother lived has been watched by Liu's confidants.

Whenever there is any trouble, Mrs. Liu will know it immediately and look for an opportunity to make a fuss.

In such a helpless and desperate situation, Wang Yajun sent her mother away again.

The servants in the family were afraid of Mrs. Liu's power and did not dare to do anything for her.

My mother's body lay in the small courtyard for several days without anyone being buried.

Later, because the stench spread, Mrs. Liu was afraid of dirtying the courtyard of the house, so she reluctantly had someone come to collect the body.

The wife of a dignified fourth-rank official's family didn't even have a proper burial place after her death.

Just dig a hole in a forest on the outskirts of Beijing and bury it.

The boy in charge of burying the body couldn't see it, so he secretly left a mark, and quietly told Wang Yajun the mark as a thought to her.

Just when Wang Guangzheng was rejoicing that his wife was finally dead and planning to renew their marriage, news came that the Queen Mother had passed away.

He could only let go of the idea of ​​renewing his string.

Later, Yuan Xiu invaded the capital and regained the throne.

Wang Guangzheng knew that it was time for him to keep his tail between his legs and be a good man, so he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to work in the business and just allowed the Liu family to grow bigger alone in the back house.

Therefore, it fueled Liu's arrogance and made her act more and more unscrupulously, which led to the following events.

After hearing the big troll's report, Yuan Xiu showed no particular reaction on his face, but in his heart he was extremely disgusted with Wang Guangzheng.

He thought for a while and said: "Mr. Liu and her confidants were killed. Wang Guangzheng was dismissed from his post and exiled to the north. The servants in the mansion were handed over to the Wang family's legitimate daughter Yajun. She kept them for her own use if she thought it was good. She thought it was not good. Okay, let her sell it."

Chapter 598 Those who do things must not do it in vain.

The farce of Wang Guangzheng's family ended quickly under Yuan Xiu's thunderous methods.

Those who deserved to be killed were killed, and those who deserved to be exiled soon disappeared.

Wang Yajun inherited Wang Guangzheng's family property, established a female household, and lived with several of the more loyal servants in the house.

She sealed off the other courtyards, leaving only the small courtyard where she lived with her mother in the past, which reduced a lot of maintenance costs.

On a daily basis, she makes needlework and sells it in the market to supplement her family's income, so she can live a decent life.

Not long after, there was a knock on her door.

Since his father was exiled, no one has come to visit him again.

Wang Yajun was very surprised and asked someone to open the door.

A woman with a beautiful smile came in. She was not pretentious and said openly: "My name is Jing Lan. I am the president of the Northern Chamber of Commerce. The queen asked me to come to you."

The backer behind the Northern Chamber of Commerce is Queen, this is a fact that everyone in the capital knows.

Wang Yajun was surprised and felt warm in his heart.

She knew that the queen was kind and helped the weak by eliminating evil, but she never thought that she, an insignificant little girl, could be remembered by the queen.

She didn't hide the shock in her eyes.

Jing Lan smiled, "Our queen is the one who encourages women to be self-reliant and self-reliant. She knows that you have lost your support and life is not easy, so let me ask you, are you willing to join our Northern Chamber of Commerce?"

Wang Yajun was even more surprised.

She was grateful to the queen for her kindness, but what could a woman like her with no talents do by joining the Northern Chamber of Commerce?

As if he knew what she was thinking, Jing Lan said: "In addition to the shops, our Northern Chamber of Commerce also manages the charity hall in the suburbs of Beijing, the examination institute in the southwest of the city, and will also assist the newly opened manufacturing office. What the Queen means, If women are willing to come out and do things, try to give them opportunities. So, take a look, are there any places suitable for you to do things?"

Wang Yajun quickly went through these places in his mind.

Then, he said simply: "Since the Queen has such kind intentions, Yajun is grateful. Yajun has never done business and has no skills, but he can go to the Beijing Suburbs Shantang to help."

Jing Lan was a little surprised. Said: "If you work in a charity in the suburbs of Beijing, you can only get a monthly salary. But if you work in a shop and do well, you can still get some dividends throughout the year. Do you really not think about it anymore?"

Wang Yajun Shaking her head decisively, "Yajun has no repayment for the queen's kindness to Yajun. Doing what you can do is a negligible reward for the queen, and Yajun can feel comfortable."

This answer made Jing Lan feel at ease . She looked at him differently.

This girl is a conscientious person and not confused.

Jing Lan said: "In that case, I will have someone take you to the Lin Mansion tomorrow. The queen's mother, Mrs. Lin, is in charge of the charity hall. Then you can just follow her instructions."

"Thank you, Miss Jing Lan, thank you very much . Queen." Wang Yajun lowered his head slightly and smiled happily.

She once stayed at a charity house in the suburbs of Beijing for one night, feeling both grateful and concerned.

They take in homeless children there, but they not only give them food and a place to live, they also find things for them to do and let them learn skills.

Therefore, although it is a charity hall, it is full of vitality and every child lives with dignity and hope.

She likes that kind of positive atmosphere, that kind of vitality that is still struggling to bloom even in the mud.

That night, Wang Yajun was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

What she thinks about is not how much money she can earn, but how much she can help the same poor people as she once did.

Early the next morning, she washed and tidied up and waited for people from the Northern Chamber of Commerce to come to her.

The person who came to pick her up from the Northern Chamber of Commerce was still a girl, and she brought a carriage.

Along the way, Wang Yajun listened to the girl introducing her to the Northern Chamber of Commerce, and the more she listened, the more magical it became.

It turns out that the Northern Chamber of Commerce has done so many things, it's amazing!

It turns out that the queen is not only kind, but also a woman who will not give way to women.

Suddenly, Lin Xuezhu's image in Wang Yajun's mind became a little taller.

When the carriage arrived at Lin Mansion, the girl handed Wang Yajun to the steward, and then took the carriage away again.

The steward brought Wang Yajun to Wen Xiuqing.

When Wen Xiuqing saw Wang Yajun, her eyes lit up.

The girl has a gentle temperament, a delicate face, and a hint of perseverance in her submissive eyes.

Wen Xiuqing fell in love with the girl in front of him almost at the first sight.

"Miss Wang, sit down." Wen Xiuqing pointed to the chair in front of her.

Wang Yajun saluted and said: "Mrs. Lin, just call me Yajun. Thanks to the queen's favor, she took me in for a night in a charity house on the outskirts of Beijing and saved my life. Now that I see Mrs. Lin, I feel that Mrs. Lin's appearance and temperament are the same as those of Mrs. Lin. The Queen is very similar, and very approachable."

From another person's point of view, her words were completely flattering.

But she spoke so sincerely and from the heart that no one felt any discomfort at all.

Wen Xiuqing could hear the sincerity in her words, so she asked: "Yajun, what are your usual hobbies?"

Wang Yajun replied: "I don't have any special hobbies. I just know how to do some needlework and know a few words. If you are good I can take care of the children and teach them how to sew and read."

Wen Xiuqing nodded and said, "Our family does not believe that it is a virtue for a woman to have no talent. Yajun, you don't need any talent. Afraid of showing up. As you can see, our charity not only gives homeless children a place to live, but also teaches them how to survive. When they grow up, we will provide them with help. , will encourage them to live on their own. The same is true for you. As long as you have talents, we will encourage you to use them."

Wang Yajun felt warm after hearing this.

Years of oppression and restraint, at this moment, seemed to have a gap opened.

There is sunlight coming through.

Wen Xiuqing stood up and said: "Let's go, I'll go to the shantang with you. There are a lot of things going on in the house these days, but I haven't been there for a long time. I also need a helper here, and you came just in time."

After saying that, he took the initiative to pull me. He took Wang Yajun's hand and led her out of the Lin Mansion.

From then on, Wang Yajun worked conscientiously in the charity hall. Sometimes he was too busy and would bring his maid over.

When Wen Xiuqing learned about this, she would give one more person a share in Yueyin.

My daughter once said that those who do things cannot do them in vain.

As a boss, you can't let your hard-working subordinates feel cold.

The treatment that should be given must be given in full.

Especially for those who are dedicated to doing things without expecting anything in return, we cannot wrong them.

Gradually, Wen Xiuqing will tell Wang Yajun something to do.

Seeing that she had done well, he simply felt confident and used her as his right-hand man.

Chapter 599 This is really an unexpected surprise

. The Northern Chamber of Commerce acted very quickly.

Lin Xuezhu said he wanted to sell gift boxes at the flower and fruit tea shop, and Jing Lan immediately organized people to respond.

Within ten days, the gift box was on the shelves.

Although the New Year is coming soon, most people have chosen New Year gifts and are just waiting to give them out during the New Year.

Seeing that the flower and fruit tea shop produced such exquisite gift boxes, they still didn't mind buying one more.

After all, who wouldn't love such a hot pot of flower and fruit tea on the New Year's Eve dinner table? It's beautiful and delicious.

This time, the Beijing Chamber of Commerce failed to keep up.

Seeing the Northern Chamber of Commerce making a lot of money, I can only feel sad secretly.

Blame them for being slow.

Next year, they will also be giving out gift boxes!

It's Chinese New Year, and the Lin family is busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Because, later in the evening, Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu will leave the palace and return to the Lin family for dinner.

Wang Yajun was in the charity hall, taking care of the homeless children.

When Wen Xiuqing remembered this incident, she called Lu Mo over and asked him to send some food to the children in the charity hall.

Hu Santong took the initiative to ask for help and said: "Madam, please go and see the little one off. Mr. Lu is very busy with official duties on weekdays. It's hard to get some rest. The little one..."

Before he could finish his words, Hu Yitong covered his mouth. Towed away.

Hu Yitong didn't know why his wife asked him to stop his third brother.

But since the lady has spoken, he will naturally do it.

"Brother, why are you covering my mouth?" Hu Santong looked confused.

Hu Yitong was equally puzzled and looked at Gu Zhenniang with doubtful eyes.

Gu Zhenniang came closer and whispered to Hu Yitong.

Hu Yitong suddenly understood and quickly went to whisper to Hu Santong again.

So, in less than half an hour, the whole family knew that Wen Xiuqing was interested in bringing Lu Mo and Wang Yajun together.

When Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu arrived, the Lin family had finished their work and were looking at the door.

When you see someone coming, you can't help but salute first, and then welcome the person in lively.

"Where is Lu Mo?" Lin Xuezhu saw at a glance that Lu Mo was not at home.

She remembered that Yuan Xiu had given him a holiday, so that he, who had worked hard for a year and longed for family affection, could return to the Lin Mansion to enjoy a day of family happiness.

However, what about people?

When she asked this question, everyone's expressions showed a hint of secrecy, which looked strange.

Lin Xuezhu knew there was something going on here, so she asked again, "Where is Lu Mo?"

Wen Xiuqing quickly pulled her aside and whispered, "I asked him to go to the shantang to deliver something."

Lin Xuezhu frowned, After thinking about it for a moment, you'll understand what's going on.

It was just a gift. There were so many servants in the house, so there was no need to let Lu Mo go.

The only possibility is...

well, that girl Wang Yajun is also very satisfied.

Wen Xiuqing said: "Daughter, don't blame me for taking matters into your own hands. I just think that Yajun's child is very good. He has done a lot of things for me recently. He is kind and not weak. He might be suitable for Lu Mo. Now in this family , Hu Ertong has a daughter-in-law, and Hu Santong's marriage is about to be planned. Lu Mo, on the other hand, is busy in the imperial army all day long, and he doesn't know how to make arrangements. We must pay more attention to him. Besides, mother asked him to go. Giving him something, that is, letting him meet Yajun, whether it works or not depends on the two children's own opinions."

After listening to Wen Xiuqing's talk, Lin Xuezhu felt that her mother was too interested in Lu Mo's marriage . A little nervous.

He quickly patted her mother's hand and said, "Mom, your idea is right. I also think Yajun and Lu Mo are suitable. You can make plans, but as long as they are willing, I will naturally be happy to see it happen."

In fact, She also wanted to check out Wang Yajun from the beginning. If this girl was strong and could stand up on her own, she would be worthy of Lu Mo.

However, she didn't expect that Wen Xiuqing was more anxious than she was and immediately arranged the match.

While everyone was talking, Lu Mo came back.

In an instant, everyone who spoke fell silent.

Lu Mo was confused.

He intuitively believed that these people had done something without telling him.

"What's wrong?" He scratched his head and looked at everyone in confusion.

"No, it's nothing. Lu Mo, everything was delivered properly?" Wen Xiuqing hurriedly came out to smooth things over.

Lu Mo nodded and replied cheerfully, "Sent it over. The children are very happy."

"Is it over?" Wen Xiuqing was a little disappointed.

Lu Mo was even more confused, "Is there anything else you want me to do?"

He suddenly lost confidence, thinking that Wen Xiuqing had asked him to forget something.

"Oh, no, I just went to see the children and see if there is anything unusual." Wen Xiuqing and Lin Xuezhu exchanged looks.

Lin Xuezhu quickly accepted the scene, "The whole family is waiting for you, why have you been gone for so long? Come here quickly, let's eat."

Lu Mo explained with a smile: "I thought the children were quite cute, so I stayed a little longer. Lin Xuezhu

raised her eyebrows and asked deliberately: "How are the grandmothers and girls taking care of the children?"

As the boss behind the scenes, it is reasonable to care about his employees, right?

Lu Mo answered very smoothly, "They are not bad, and they asked me to send a message to say thank you to Mrs. Lin."

His expression was as usual, without any fluctuation.

The whole family stared at it, but couldn't see anything different.

It made everyone look at each other.

How to fix it? Can't find any information at all.

Have you seen Wang Yajun or not?

Is it a good impression, or is it completely indifferent?

The whole family felt that Lu Mo's thoughts had become deeper!

"Eat, eat." Lin Xuezhu couldn't stand it anymore.

The whole family guesses one person's thoughts and makes it very mysterious. Who is dating whom?

The whole family also knew that the temptation was over, so they quickly calmed down and focused on the New Year's Eve dinner.

After the meal, the whole family chatted in groups of three or two.

Lu Mo found Lin Xuezhu and lowered his voice and asked, "Cousin, what is the origin of that young girl in the charity hall?"

Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

This little boy, who had acted so calmly just now, had been doing it for a long time, but he had secretly gotten into it!

Also, that girl Wang Yajun will definitely leave a certain impression on anyone who has seen her.

Lin Xuezhu suppressed her smile and said, "Do you still remember the case of Wang Guangzheng, the young minister of Dali Temple a while ago?"

Lu Mo nodded.

Lin Xuezhu said: "That Miss Wang is the victim of that case."

"My cousin said she is Wang Guangzheng's daughter?" Lu Mo was surprised.

Lin Xuezhu nodded, "Exactly."

Lu Mo laughed, "No wonder, when I saw her, I felt familiar, as if I had seen her before somewhere. It turned out that she had been to the Censorship Station."

At that time, he went to the Censorship Station . When I was working in Taiwan, I met Miss Wang.

Lin Xuezhu felt that this was really an unexpected surprise. Now that they have met, the rest of the matter can be easily discussed!

Chapter 600 Well, knowing that the Queen and the Emperor were in love

, Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu drove back to the palace after the New Year's Eve dinner.

After returning to the palace after the excitement just now, both of them felt that the huge palace was a little deserted.

The two people stared at each other, which was very boring.

"Husband, do you want to play a game of backgammon?" Lin Xuezhu asked suddenly and whimsically.

Yuan Xiu's backgammon skills, after some training from her, have become better than the previous ones.

She had been unable to defeat him before.

However, there must be something to do during the days of staying up late.

Lin Xuezhu sighed imperceptibly, not daring to say that she was homesick.

The two played a few games of backgammon and a few games of reversi, and just after midnight, they couldn't wait to go to bed.

I slept pretty well that night.

Early the next morning, Yuan Xiu went to deal with court affairs.

Lin Xuezhu was bored, so she thought about finding something to do for herself.

She asked people to light a fire in the small kitchen of Chunhua Palace, and took out a lot of sugar, preparing to boil the sugar to dip the candied haws.

When she was alone at home in her previous life, she also tried making candied haws, but she could never master the heat.

For a top-quality candied haws, the sugar coating on the outside should be thin and crispy.

Bite it down and there will be a click without attacking the upper teeth.

She knew that the ideal taste could be achieved by boiling the sugar into fine bubbles and only dipping the fruit into the bubbles.

However, sugar bubbles are something you can only encounter but cannot seek.

She can actually boil sugar into paste.

So, after struggling all day, she couldn't find any way.

In the next few days, she stayed in the small kitchen every day, concentrating on making sugar.

The servants of Chunhua Palace were very happy to be able to eat candies at first.

That's candy, something that children from poor families haven't eaten since they were little.

But as they ate, they became less happy.

I'm tired of eating this stuff too much.

In particular, the Queen is willing to cut out the ingredients, and the sugar on each bunch of candied haws is very thick.

It's so thick that even the fruit wrapped inside doesn't have the effect of relieving greasiness.

As a result, everyone in Chunhua Palace turned pale when they saw the Queen boiling sugar again.

Fortunately, the most important thing in the palace is people.

There are four masters in total, the emperor, the queen, the little prince, and the little princess.

There were hundreds of people waiting on him.

If Chunhua Palace couldn't finish the food, they would give it to the people in Qinzheng Palace.

The people in Qinzheng Palace were disgusted by eating it, so they gave it to people in other palaces to eat.

Suddenly, the entire palace received gifts from the Queen.

Just when the whole palace was in a state of bitter candied haws, Lin Xuezhu finally succeeded.

The day she made light sugar bubbles, she jumped with joy.

I immediately made several candied haws of various kinds and asked people to deliver them to Yuan Xiu.

Looking at the candied haws given to the emperor, the sugar coating was so crystal clear that the person who gave it to him fell silent.

Well, I know that the queen and the emperor are in love.

They can only eat the failed candied haws. Once they succeed, the person who tastes it will be the emperor.

But what they didn't know was that the queen's purpose was not just to give the emperor a taste.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, during the Lantern Festival, the capital holds a lantern festival as usual.

Even those who live in seclusion will still go out to join in the fun on this day.

Lin Xuezhu started busy early in the morning.

The fruits she used were sent by Zhuangzi.

In order to enrich the variety of fruits, she also brought some private goods and secretly took some out of the space.

The servants in Chunhua Palace were also busy. The eunuchs tied bundles of straw on wooden sticks to prepare candied haws.

The palace maids were busy washing, cutting and skewering the fruits.

Lin Xuezhu's candied haws come in a variety of varieties, with hawthorn being the basic one, as well as strawberry, orange, grape, yam, kumquat, kiwi and so on.

Anyway, with greenhouse cultivation, it is still possible for people in the capital to eat off-season fruits in winter.

Lin Xuezhu made a total of fifteen stacks of candied haws, which coincided with the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Then, fifteen young eunuchs were given waist badges and asked to sell candied haws on the street.

The young eunuchs had never done anything like this before, and they were a little embarrassed.

Lin Xuezhu directly gave the lottery, "I don't care how much you sell a bunch of candied haws, but after the lantern festival is over, you will hand over all the money you earned after you return to the palace. The one who earns the most will get all the profits. 20%. In addition, I will also give 20% to everyone who participated in the work today. "

The remaining 60% is of course her hard work, who makes her the boss.

When they heard that there was money to be made, the expressions of the young eunuchs immediately changed.

I was feeling cramped just now, but now I am full of fighting spirit.

Each pile of candied haws in their hands contained exactly one hundred candied haws.

Even if one stick sells for five cents, one hundred sticks equals five hundred cents, fifteen hundred sticks equals seven thousand five hundred cents, and two cents equals one thousand five hundred cents, which is equivalent to one or two and a half pieces of silver.

In just one night, you have the opportunity to earn one or two and a half, who wouldn't be tempted by this!

What's more, the queen said that she didn't care how much they sold a bunch.

If you can sell it more expensively, you can make more money.

Even if you don't get first place, as long as you work hard to sell, you can still get more money.

As soon as the palace door opened, these little eunuchs carrying the candied haws on their backs rushed out and happily ran to the streets of the capital.

Lin Xuezhu held a strawberry candied haws in her hand, eating it while walking towards Yuan Xiu's Qinzheng Hall.

Her behavior seemed a bit out of line in this huge palace.

However, the servants are also used to it.

There were only two people in the palace, the emperor and the queen, and no one saw them anyway. The emperor didn't care if the queen liked to go out of her way, so who could say anything!

When they arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, Lin Xuezhu said, "Husband, let's go out to play today."

Yuan Xiu put down his pen, smiled, and replied, "Okay!"

Then he got up and changed his clothes.

The two of them changed into normal clothes and looked like a wealthy couple.

However, for the convenience of walking, each of them wore a curtain hat.

After tidying up, the two of them slipped out of the corner door of the palace and headed all the way to the most prosperous East Market in Beijing.

At the beginning of the lantern season, strings of lanterns were placed along the street in Dongshi.

Under each lantern, there is a lantern riddle.

Whoever guesses the correct answer can tear off the riddle.

After visiting this street, you can take the torn lantern riddles and go to the location of the Northland Chamber of Commerce to submit the answers.

Submissions close at 2:30 pm, and the results will be announced at 1:30 pm.

The one with the most correct answers will receive a super gift box provided by the Northern Chamber of Commerce.

As for what is included in the super gift box, it will be kept secret for the time being.

That's right, this year's Lantern Festival is organized by the Northern Chamber of Commerce.

This was also Lin Xuezhu's idea.

What better publicity opportunity than such a major gathering?

As for the gift box, it is a co-branded product from several stores under the Northern Territory Chamber of Commerce.

There are glass products, flower and fruit tea, rouge gouache, and exquisite candies.

In addition, there are ten specially made gold leaves.
