Resourceful beauty

Chapter 281
After Ding Xiang and Fang Ruxuan went to Chenxiang Pavilion successively, Sangshen's visit was obviously not as simple as a visit.And from the second day on, Lin Ke'er used the excuse of recovering from her injuries to stay behind closed doors. For a while, not only Xinlan and Luwu, but even Hu Moyan sensed that something was wrong.

After inviting Wan'an out from Xuanyi Hall, Hu Moyan returned to Qixia Hall, and Xinlan and Luwu went to Chenxiang Pavilion in the name of visiting patients.

It was just overnight, but Lin Ke'er seemed to have suffered some huge blow. Her whole body was sluggish and her face became paler with no makeup on. You can also vaguely see the scars after biting.

"What's wrong with Lin Liangdi?"

Seeing Li, she stood up and sat down, Luwu asked Yinzhu in surprise.

Yinzhu forced a smile and said: "Yesterday's injury was a bit serious, when I got up early to apply the medicine, the slaves were not serious, and it made Liangdi suffer again."

The explanation was far-fetched, and she obviously didn't want people to know the real reason. Xin Lan glanced at Lu Wu, and the two didn't ask any more questions.

After sitting for a while, seeing that Lin Ke'er was still half-dead, Luwu suddenly felt his spirits fade, and planned to leave, but Xin Lan's words became more and more comforting, which made Lin Ke'er's eyes turn red again. , Lu Wu curled her lips in disdain, and walked straight away.

"Di Liang feels uncomfortable, and this concubine feels the same. However, after entering the palace, many things cannot be controlled by us. Di Liang still needs to cheer up. When Di Liang recovers from her wounds, let's go to pay her respects to the empress dowager." , her old man is the most kind, but when the time comes, someone will take care of her, and Concubine Liang won't be too lonely in the palace, what do you think?"

Xin Lan spoke softly.

Lin Keer nodded indifferently, "Please worry about it."

"If Di Liang is unhappy, why don't you talk to my concubine? Although my concubine may not be able to persuade her, but it's good to talk together, it's better than Liang Di being bored in her heart and suffering alone."

Xin Lan said with understanding.

Lin Ke'er shook her head, "It's nothing, Ke'er thanked Sister Xinlan."

She didn't force her anymore, she sat for a while, and then Xinlan left.

Seeing Xinlan's back disappear from the courtyard gate of Chenxiang Pavilion, Lin Ke'er said with a wry smile: "I'm not the only poor woman in this East Palace."

Knowing her own lady's temperament, if she doesn't comfort her, the people around her might not dare to make a sound these days. Yinzhu said softly: "Miss, what I said is wrong. If the slave says, poor man, It's just the two of them. Not only are they not favored by His Highness, but they are also tabooed. In the future, it is uncertain what will happen. However, Miss, who is now Liangdi of the Eastern Palace, will definitely be one of the four concubines in the future. Endless respect Rong."

Lin Ke'er suddenly darkened.

Yinzhu knew that she had said something wrong, she was afraid that she remembered what Sangsan came to pass on last night.

"I didn't marry him just for honor."

Speaking in a cold voice, Lin Ke'er couldn't help thinking of Chu Yuan's tenderness and consideration when facing Fang Ruxuan, and the hand he held yesterday seemed to be burning hot.

"It's time to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager."

Lin Ke'er was thinking secretly in her heart, while talking to herself.

In Xuanyi Hall, Fang Ruxuan dressed Brother Ming, seeing that the little guy was getting fatter again, she looked back at the wet nurse appreciatively and said, "You are feeding well, turn around and go to Lilac's place to receive the reward."

The wet nurse couldn't help but knelt down and thanked her, while the other wet nurse was a little embarrassed.

Brother Ming was only four months old, but now, the milk/water from the nurse Chen was no longer enough for him to eat, so Chu Yuan sent someone to find another one, and sent it to the East Palace through the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

I don't know if it's because he's not familiar with the smell of the new nurse's body, or because of some other reason, but Brother Ming would rather be hungry than eat her milk/water.

Now, seeing that Nurse Chen was rewarded by Fang Ruxuan, Nurse Sun couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

If it goes on like this, perhaps, in a few days, the crown prince and princess concubine are planning to change their roles. At that time, where will I find such a leisurely and decent job?
Thinking wildly in his heart, he watched Fang Ruxuan carry Brother Ming to the inner hall, and Nurse Sun smiled and dragged Nurse Chen to sit in front of the Eight Immortals table.

In the inner hall, Fang Ruxuan put her son on the soft couch, crawling like a chubby puppy, while shaking the puppet tiger in front of him, guiding him to raise his head, the little guy got tired after a while , Limbs flattened and unwilling to move anymore.

Fang Ruxuan couldn't laugh or cry, picked him up and hugged him in her arms, put on a hat and carried him to the verandah.

After wandering around for a while, Chu Yuan came back.

"These days, you seem to be very leisurely?"

Fang Ruxuan handed Brother Ming into Chu Yuan's arms, and asked curiously.

"It's just the beginning of spring. Apart from those things in the past, there is nothing important. The spring plowing in various places is going well, and there are officials from King Rui and the Ministry of Households in Lizhou who are investigating thoroughly. I just need to keep an eye on it on weekdays. So, naturally, I was free.”

As Chu Yuan said, his face was full of joy, and he became more and more interested in teasing his son.

After a while, seeing Fang Ruxuan still staring at him, Chu Yuan said with a smile: "The few experimental fields in the dry area, before the dragon raised his head, harvested the grain planted last winter. Although it is not a bumper harvest, the amount is gratifying. .Moreover, after more than half a month of rest, spring plowing just happened to be picked up. The memorial said that planting this year is a month earlier than last year. If you put more thought into it, next year will guarantee a bumper harvest."

Two incomes a year, such a good thing, I'm afraid no one is unhappy, right?

Fang Ruxuan pursed her lips and smiled, and immediately, as if thinking of something, she turned to Chu Yuan and asked, "Are there any officials you trust in Tongzhou and the dry areas?"

Chu Yuan smiled more and more complacently.

The Tongzhou official affairs were investigated and dealt with by Chu Yuan from the beginning to the end. Although the follow-up transfer of officials was the will of King Yao, Fang Ruxuan did not believe that Chu Yuan would not make preparations for it.

After the severe drought in the south happened, Chu Yuan also led the troops to suppress the bandits. Naturally, there were many officials involved in the case. But this time, King Yao didn't ask any questions, and handed over the full authority to Chu Yuan.

Counting Tongzhou and several states in the south, now, there are one-third of all the states and counties under Chu Yuan's control.

After receiving Chu Yuan's affirmative answer, Fang Ruxuan felt that the thoughts that had been plotting in her mind gradually became clearer.

In the afternoon, when Kapok entered the palace again, Fang Ruxuan deliberately avoided Chu Yuan.

"A few days ago when I was out of the palace, Old Man Jin had a few words to avoid His Highness telling me. Although it was a bit risky, I think his thoughts are good, and I thought so before. So, these In the past few days, you and the old man will discuss this matter more, and come up with a charter, and we will make a total calculation."

Fang Ruxuan explained Kapok Road.

Mu Mian looked puzzled, obviously, she didn't know what Fang Ruxuan was referring to.

"I've had this thought since the princess's Fuguifang closed down. Of course, what I want to do is not to buy and sell officials, but to collect information. In Shangyang City, and other counties in Yao Kingdom, as long as Collect all the information you need. Isn’t Xiao Shiqi good at collecting and processing information, this matter, leave it to him and Old Man Jin, don’t mention a word about Chu Dong.”

With a few concise words, Fang Ruxuan clarified her meaning, and a few fiery rays of light flashed in Kapok's eyes.

When I was an assassin before, the most important thing was to collect information before I started. After more than a year in Yaoguo, Mu Mian felt that she had begun to enjoy the blessings of being with Fang Ruxuan, and she was farther and farther away from those days before.

Although she didn't want to think about the ups and downs of her life in the past, such thrills seemed to penetrate into the bone marrow, and occasionally made people's blood boil.

Now, with such an opportunity in front of us, how can Kapok not be tempted?

"Miss, you and Uncle Jin have discussed how to proceed, but in the future, leave it to me and Xiao Shiqi, okay?"

Kapok asked excitedly.

After thinking about it for a while, she understood the meaning of Kapok. What's more, if she wanted to grasp the news at any time, she must have such a person by her side who could freely enter and leave the inner palace. Fang Ruxuan thought for a while, and nodded in agreement.

After the talk, Kapok didn't even chat with Ding Xiangsu Ye and the others, and rushed out of the palace excitedly.

Fang Ruxuan withdrew her thoughts, but still felt her heart beating fast, a little nervous.

Fang Ruxuan came up with such a bold idea when she knew about the secret transactions in Chuxiu's Fuguifang. aside.

The matter of Marquis Chang'an made Fang Ruxuan urgently realize the importance of the news.

After instructing Zheng Ping to inquire for several days, he finally found out about the affairs of the Marquis of Chang'an. Afterwards, he found out about the secret relationship between Concubine Lu Rufei and the Marquis of Chang'an. Although things went well, Fang Ruxuan was a little dissatisfied.

If I have the ability to control the collection and distribution of news, then every move of the major families in Shangyang City is equivalent to being in my own eyes, and I am no longer as blind as before.

In time, not only in Shangyang City, but also in other places in Yao Kingdom, I can know the news at the first time. Then, what to do, what to do, have clear goals.

Fang Ruxuan believes that Chu Yuan's subordinates, such as Chu Dong, must have someone who does these things, but men and women focus on different things, maybe, one day, what they do can help Chu Yuan Woolen cloth.

Even if you can't help, just to expand your business and earn more money, it's always good, right?

Fang Ruxuan thought to herself.

On March 26, a small three-story building that had recently changed hands on Shangyangcheng East Street opened its doors. superior.

Tianjilou, a store that deals in weird antiques, the shopkeeper is a young man in his 20s, but he speaks so eloquently that people can't help but believe him, but after a few days, someone secretly spread the word that The business run by Tianji Building is not as simple as it appears on the surface.
