The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 427
Why is Pingan so arrogant?
There are three reasons, the first is that my father is the future heir, and he is a master who is in a stable position and will soon take the throne; The third is that nearly half of the many heirs of the crown prince are her own younger brothers. Once the crown prince takes the throne and the new king establishes the crown prince, her younger brother will have a great competitive advantage.

Of these three reasons, the last two are particularly important.

Now that Xiao Nan has made a feud with Ping An, she has to think about all the issues.

Now that the prince is suppressed by the sage, and he still thinks about his kinship, he compensates Xiao Nan in a disguised form, barely covering up the matter.

In the eyes of the noble ladies in Beijing, Xiao Nan's design seriously injured Ping'an, and not only was he not punished, but he got the benefits of the East Palace. He earned both face and reputation, and also gained power by the way. What a perfect plan.

But Xiao Nan knew very well in his heart that this matter was not over yet.

After all, Ping An is still alive, and all her reliance still exists. After only a few years, the prince's throne is firmly established, and everyone has forgotten about it. Ping An will definitely seek revenge from Xiao Nan.

With the lessons of his previous life, Xiao Nan never wanted to leave such a big hidden danger in existence.

So, long before he decided to make a move on the court that day, Xiao Nan had already thought up a plan, and then sent someone into the palace to seek Jiaojiao's help in advance.

Speaking of it, it is also fate, among the prince's many children, Jiaojiao is the only daughter born on the first line, only 12 years old, Xiao Nan can relate to her.

This spring, Xiao Nan and Jiaojiao were arranged to be together when they went to Jinyang Princess Mansion for a drink.The two chatted politely for a few words, and then they talked about a topic they both liked - raising flowers.

Don't look at Jiaojiao's lively nature, and she laughs and laughs all day long like a heartless and silly big sister, but she likes to tend flowers and plants, especially grow orchids.

It just so happened that Xiao Nan learned how to grow and arrange flowers with the old lady for a period of time, and then when he went to Yang’s house to pay respects to Empress Xiao, he heard the old man talk about some orchid-growing skills. Straightforward.

The two talked more and more speculatively, Jiaojiao heard that there was a huge glass greenhouse in Xiao Nan's house, so she yelled to go there on the spot.After finally surviving the banquet, the little girl repeatedly urged Xiao Nan to take her to Cui's house.

Xiao Nan has always liked straightforward people, seeing Jiaojiao's true temperament, she would not refuse, and warmly invited her to Rongshou Hall.

The two went for a stroll around the conservatory first, Xiao Nan showed Jiaojiao some orchids that Empress Xiao had given her, Jiaojiao was very excited, and kept saying that these were the best orchids, and when she begged Xiao Nan to branch them, Give her one.

Xiao Nan saw that the little girl's eyes were shining brightly, as if an old glutton saw the world's delicacies, he knew that she really liked it, and readily agreed.

Afterwards, Xiao Nan led Jiaojiao to Weirui Courtyard for tea, Jiaojiao heard that Xiao Nan had given birth to quadruplets, she was very curious, and immediately said that she wanted to see the babies.

Xiao Nan then led her to the newly renovated baby room. Seeing that the room was bright, clean and exquisitely furnished, Jiaojiao couldn't help admiring that the cousin of the Xiao family was indeed a wonderful person.

Then, when she saw the four small buns carved in pink and jade, she couldn't help but grow her mouth in surprise, and looked at Xiao Nan again with more admiration and faint envy.

That's right, envy!
Xiao Nan felt strange when he saw her at the time, Jiaojiao was very straightforward and innocent, why did he suddenly show such a vicissitudes of expression? !
However, they had just met at that time, and their relationship was not close enough to ask such questions, so Xiao Nan put it aside for the time being and warmly entertained Jiaojiao with tea and Cui's secret cakes.

After talking for half a day, the two of them talked more and more speculatively, and their relationship became closer and closer. In the end, when Xiao Nan sent Jiaojiao out, their names changed, and they were no longer the polite "cousin" or "cousin". , but the very intimate 'sister' 'Jiaojiao'.

Later, the relationship between Xiao Nan and Jiaojiao became better and better, like a pair of best friends who forget the year.It wasn't until then that Jiaojiao missed a sentence in a certain chat, cryptically mentioning the current plight of the Crown Princess.

At that time, Xiao Nan was shocked when he heard that, thinking that Yulu's secret had been exposed, he was thinking about how to cover it up, and then he heard Jiaojiao stammering that the eldest princess and her had twins and quadruplets. Besides, there must be some good way to take care of your body.

After all, Jiaojiao is an unmarried girl, so it's hard to speak out, but Xiao Nan could hear clearly, she was asking one thing inside and outside of what she said: the eldest princess and Xiao Nan are both so fertile, does the Xiao family have any secret recipe for having children.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Xiao Nan's mind, and she suddenly guessed why Jiaojiao took the initiative to befriend her. Presumably, the little girl saw her mother's plight and heard a lot of rumors, so she found herself at the banquet.

To be honest, discovering this made Xiao Nan feel a little uncomfortable, but soon she was relieved: Jiaojiao had a purpose in making friends with her, so why didn't he hope that he could make friends with Donggong through making friends with her? !

Since everyone's purpose is not pure, she has no right to complain about others.

After thinking about it, Xiao Nan pushed all these to the ancient book, and specially ordered someone to take out a copied copy and give it to Jiaojiao.

When Jiaojiao heard that it was an ancient book, she was slightly disappointed, but soon became happy again, took the book, thanked her, and happily returned to the East Palace.

Since then, the line between Xiao Nan and the Crown Princess has become friendly.

However, after experiencing the incident the day before yesterday, Xiao Nan deeply understood that it was not enough for her and the Crown Princess to be friendly, she had to let the Crown Princess completely stand by her side.

As for how to achieve this step, at present, Xiao Nan feels that he can only rely on Yulu.

Here comes the question again, how can she make the Crown Princess drink Yulu unknowingly, and at the same time understand that it is Xiao Nan's contribution? !

Xiao Nan fell into deep thought.

In the early morning of the next day, Cui Youbo went to work as usual, but his expression was different from the past, if you observe carefully, you will find that there is a faint reluctance in his eyes.

Of course he was reluctant, personally recommended Zheng Qin to become an official, and he took the initiative to push this assistant out. Thinking that in the future, no one would be by his side like Zheng Qin to discuss political affairs and help him make suggestions all the time, he felt empty in his heart .

However, there was a flash of persistence in Cui Youbo's eyes, he couldn't be so selfish, and he also knew that Zheng Qin was a man with great ambitions, and he would never spend his whole life being wronged by Cui's house as his assistant.

If he doesn't take the initiative to recommend Zheng Qin to become an official today, Zheng Qin will definitely leave in a short time. Once things get to that point, the brotherhood between the two of them for many years will be gone.

Therefore, it is best for him to come forward in person. Cui Youbo walked outside the door, touched the memorial in his sleeve subconsciously, nodded again, then took the whip and rein handed over by the servants, turned on his horse swiftly, and walked towards the Go to the imperial city.

After sending off Uncle Cui, Xiao Nan sent off his two sons and daughters who were going to school, and then went to his study to copy the Heart Sutra.

As A Niang said, everything must be thoughtful, especially the project of saving face. Since the queen ordered her to close the door to think about her mistakes and copy the Heart Sutra a hundred times, she must strictly implement it.

Indeed, the Empress still takes good care of Xiao Nan. When she mentioned to Chai Jiuniang yesterday about going to Mount Li to escape the summer heat, Xiao Nan secretly counted the days and realized that after her confinement for a full month, a large number of dignitaries from Beijing happened to be rushing to Mount Li. day.

In other words, the queen's punishment was really not that big, and even such things as summer vacation were not delayed.

Even if the queen defended her so much, she must be punished sincerely.

Yuzan helped lay the paper and grind the ink, while Xiao Nan knelt behind the desk, picked up the Zihao brush, and carefully copied the scriptures stroke by stroke.

A small white jade incense burner was burning in front of the desk, and the faint fragrance gradually diffused in the study with the curling smoke. There was no other sound in the room, only the slight sound of breathing.

After copying a page, Xiao Nan raised his head and moved the copied paper aside. Yuhan, who was kneeling beside the desk, hurriedly handed over a new piece of paper with both hands, and pressed it with a paperweight.

Xiao Nan continued copying books at his desk.

After an unknown amount of time, more than [-] sheets of paper filled with elegant Tang Kai were scattered on the floor beside the desk.Xiao Nan felt a little sore in his neck, put down his pen, shook his head slowly, and soothed his neck.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door, from far to near, and finally stopped outside the door.

Xiao Nan turned his head and raised his chin at Yuzan.

Yuzan understood, got up and opened the door to inquire in a low voice, whispered a few words with the visitor, then turned back and said: "Princess, Mr. Wang Dalang is asking to see you."

Wang Youan?
Xiao Nan was startled, and then asked: "What's the matter?" Could it be someone looking for trouble again?
With the rise of Nanshi and Xinshi, Wang Youan, who accounts for more than half of the two cities, is particularly eye-catching. Two years ago, Wang Youan replaced his father and became the new richest man in Beijing.

Facing the two big pieces of fat in Nanshi and Xinshi, I don't know how many people are jealous behind their backs. Fortunately, with the prestige of the eldest princess and the princess Xiao Nan as the backer, no one dares to blatantly embarrass the Wang family.

However, there are no absolutes, people die for money, the ability of the two cities to attract money is too strong.In addition, Xiao Nan was punished by the empress again, if it was widely spread by someone with a heart, causing some greedy people to take the opportunity to make trouble, even if it did not cause too much loss, it would be enough trouble for Xiao Nan and the Wang family.

Yuzan said: "Yuzhu said, Mr. Wang Dalang came to announce the good news, and said that the glass workshop he bought before finally developed what you wanted, and he specially brought it to you today to see if it meets your requirements. "

Xiao Nan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said with a smile, "Oh? It was developed so quickly?!"

Yuzan nodded, "Wang Langjun is waiting in the guest house in the atrium, don't you want to see the princess personally?!"

Xiao Nan looked at the scattered papers around him, counted them, and copied them twenty times. Today's task is considered complete.She got up, "Go, go and see!"

In the guest house in the atrium, Wang Youan sat with his waist straight, with a solemn expression and a correct sitting posture, and he did not indulge himself just because there was no one in the room.

In front of him was a black lacquered mother-of-pearl box measuring one foot long and six inches wide. The box was very delicate, and the items inside must have been expensive.

Not long after, there was a slight sound of footsteps under the corridor outside the door, and then someone announced at the door: "The Princess is here!"

Wang Youan hurriedly lowered his head, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw a few brightly dressed women walking slowly in front of him, and the one who walked in the front, the one in the apricot yellow floor-length dress should be Princess Xiangcheng.

Realizing this, Wang You'an hurriedly withdrew his scrutiny, and saluted very respectfully: "I'm sorry, princess!"

After a while, there was a rustling sound, and a clear female voice came out from behind the screen: "Mr. Wang, please do not be too polite. By the way, I heard from the boss, is Mr. Wang coming this time to announce good news to me? Hehe , that utensil was made?"

Wang You'an raised his head and said: "My lord, the craftsmen of the glass workshop have followed your instructions and made a whole set of glassware after repeated experiments for nearly two months, but I don't know if it suits your wishes—"

As he spoke, Wang Youan gently pushed the box in front of him, and then picked it up with both hands.

Yuzan winked at the little girl beside her, the little girl understood, walked out of the screen gently, took the box and turned back to the screen.

Behind the screen painted with rich and noble peonies on white silk, the little maid held the box with both hands, the jade hairpin unlocked it, turned slightly sideways, and showed Xiao Nan the contents of the box.

Xiao Nan took a closer look, and found that a pair of red silk was spread in the black box, and a glass wine bottle and four glass goblets were placed neatly on the red silk.

These glass products are extremely exquisite, Xiao Nan took a closer look, the mouth of the cup is flat and round, the body of the cup and the bottle are round and crystal clear, the level of craftsmanship is comparable to that of later generations.

Xiao Nan reached out to pick up a goblet, touched it carefully with his fingertips, finally nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Very good, I am very satisfied, this time Wang Langjun and the craftsmen have worked hard again."

Wang You'an breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's good that the princess is satisfied, hehe, it's a certain blessing to be able to help the princess."

After a pause, Wang Youan considered his words and asked tentatively: "The princess ordered someone to develop this thing, but is it going to be sold?"

Xiao Nan heard something in his words, put down his glass, looked at Wang You'an through the dim screen, and said, "Your Majesty thinks something is wrong?"

Wang Youan shook his head hurriedly, ever since Xiao Nan spent all his wealth to support him in the acquisition of Liangfang, he secretly referred to Xiao Nan as a confidant in his heart.

In recent years, his business has been smooth, his family business has been prosperous, and no one has calculated it, all thanks to Xiao Nan's blessing.In addition, he was able to marry a daughter from an aristocratic family and bring the Wang family into a higher social circle, all because of Xiao Nan's great help and support.

Now, Wang Youan is full of awe and gratitude towards Xiao Nan.

Now Xiao Nan just bought a glass workshop and ordered people to develop some not-so-practical utensils, even if they didn't make much money, Wang Youan wouldn't care.

A mere few hundred pennies is enough to buy something for the princess.

"There's nothing wrong with it," Wang You'an thought, and said slowly: "Glass is a rare thing. Although many big families have windows made of glass, such a glass wine vessel has never appeared before. If , If these are sold, it should be able to sell for a good price."

Insincere!

Xiao Nan's mind is clear, how can he not hear that Wang You'an's words are not right?

She thought for a while, then a thought flashed in her mind, and she said with a smile: "Do you think water jade (that is, crystal) is better?"

What glass products pay attention to is crystal clear, and this can also be done by crystal.And at that time, crystal was far more valuable than glass.Ordinary people think that wine vessels made of glass are not thick, so they probably won't buy them; while the rich and powerful think glass is not noble enough.

It can be said that the glass wine container is a bit tasteless.

Wang You'an was overwhelmed by the truth, his face flushed, he coughed in embarrassment, and said: "I'm so stupid, I can't see the ingenious plan of the princess, so I can think wildly, please don't blame the princess!"

Xiao Nan smiled slightly, and said softly: "Wang Langjun is being polite again, you and I have worked together for several years, and your wife is also Liu Lang's relative, we are not outsiders, so you don't have to talk about it to coax me. Hehe, what do you think? That's right, I was negligent. How about this, please order the craftsman to make a new set of wine vessels with good water jade, the shape is just like this set."

Wang You'an hurriedly replied: "Yes, I have written it down, and I will order the craftsman to do it when I go back."

Xiao Nan waved his hand, "There's no rush, Wang Langjun is still busy with business first, this wine vessel..."

After a pause, Xiao Nan said: "Well, just send it to me within ten days."

Wang Youan bowed his hand in response.

Then, he reported back to Xiao Nan: "One more thing, a certain new hired a winemaker, that man is a Hu, he went to the Western Regions with his old master, and also learned a little about wine brewing from Fanbang people. Craftsmanship, someone thought, should our winery also make some wine?!"

Xiao Nan was startled when he heard the words, then he was overjoyed, if it wasn't for the presence of outsiders, she would have almost slapped her thigh: Oh, why did she forget this?That's right, wine and fruit wine are good nourishing things for a woman. She looks at the mountains of fruits all day long and forgets about fruit wine.

Immediately afterwards, a gleam flashed in Xiao Nan's eyes, and she finally thought of a way to cover up Yulu!

Yuzan saw Xiao Nan standing there, and Wang Youan outside thought she had said something wrong, and was looking this way in a panic, she hastily pushed Xiao Nan lightly, and reminded in a low voice: "Princess~~ "

Xiao Nan woke up like a dream, and realized that he was distracted, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Well, this method is very good. Hehe, how is that winemaker's craftsmanship? Besides wine, can he brew other fruit wines?"

Hearing this, Wang Youan's nervous heart immediately relaxed, and his mood relaxed. His businessman's shrewdness also returned, and he hurriedly asked: "What does the princess mean, let the master try to make wine with other fruits?"

Although it was a question, but the tone was affirmative, Wang Youan couldn't help but marvel secretly: Why didn't he think of it?Wine is not a rare commodity. There are many merchants selling it in the West Market. There is not much advantage in brewing this wine in your own winery, and it cannot be sold at a high price.But other fruit wines are different, if it can be made, it will be the first in the capital.

As a businessman, Wang You'an knows best which business is the most profitable, without him, exclusive business!
Just like the original Diluchun, it stood out among many low-level turbid liquors, and is famous all over the world for being as clear as water and as fiery as fire. Because it is an exclusive secret recipe, the price is far higher than other famous wines, but the supply is still in short supply.

If the fruit wine can be made and managed well, the profit will not be less than Diduchun.

The more Wang You'an thought about it, the more excited he became. He even saw the bright future of Wang's fruit wine becoming famous all over the world, and his gaze on the familiar figure behind the screen was even hotter.

Seeing Wang Youan's eagerness, Xiao Nan couldn't help sighing secretly, he really deserves to be an outstanding businessman, after only hearing her words, he discovered the business opportunity, which is not easy.

"I'm just saying casually. Since grapes can make wine, other fruits should also make it. I remember that in an ancient book, it was mentioned that there was jujube wine made from dates in the Qin Dynasty...or you can add a few more fruits, Try adding some peaches, plums, strawberries, and green plums, "

Xiao Nan pretended to be pondering, and reminded without any trace: "Just make up dozens of varieties, and let's brew a ginkgo wine."

Wang You'an clapped his fists vigorously, and said excitedly: "What the princess said is, fruit wine, fine wine with a hundred fruits? It's wonderful, it's really wonderful, so, so and so, I'll go back to find the craftsman, and then choose some fruits suitable for wine making, and put the hundred fruits into wine as soon as possible. Fruit wine was developed."

Xiao Nan saw that Wang You'an was so excited that he was almost dancing, and couldn't help laughing out loud, saying: "Okay, I'll have to thank Mr. Wang for everything!"

Only then did Wang You'an realize that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly suppressed his smile, and bowed to salute, "There is nothing wrong with it, don't blame the princess!"

Xiao Nan waved his hand, and suggested again: "By the way, isn't there a fruit shop in the Wu family, why don't you go there and choose some Donghai fruits, and try adding some different varieties of fruits, maybe the taste will be better. "

Wang Youan nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that his thoughts had already flown away, Xiao Nan didn't stay any longer, exchanged some pleasantries, and then ordered his servants to send Wang You'an out.

Sending Wang You'an away, Xiao Nan returned to the Weirui Courtyard, thought for a while, sent Yuzan and the others away, and walked into Taoyuan by himself.

Since it is decided to make fruit wine, it is necessary to increase the planting of fruit trees. Well, last time Xiao Yi said that there is a bigger desert island, so he just brought it here and planted all the fruit trees.

Xiao Nan walked into the bamboo hut, turned on the communicator on the console, contacted Xiao Yi, and ordered the matter.

Then she asked again: "Have the new ships been built? What's wrong with the island?"

Xiao Yi's rigid voice came from the communicator, "Report to the master, Haichuan No. [-] has been built and is about to be launched into the water for testing. However, there is something that my subordinates are about to report to you."

Xiao Nan's heart tightened, and he asked anxiously, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yi replied: "My subordinates have discovered that someone has sneaked into Taicang Island in an attempt to steal the blueprints of seagoing ships."

Xiao Nan was shocked, and lost his voice: "Who is it? Have you ever caught it?"

Xiao Yi rarely said in a guilty tone: "This subordinate is useless. When I found out that someone was sending a message with a kite, and went to round up the arrest, he was escaped by that person. The subordinate only saw a back. When checking the personnel on the island afterwards, I just found out that the man was Li Dalang, 30 years old, and claimed to be a fisherman by the sea, unmarried... People who knew him said that he likes to wander around the island on weekdays. The carpenter of the ship mentioned the drawings several times..."

After a pause, Xiao Yi added: "My subordinates suspect that Li Dalang's identity information is all fake, and he may be a person with identity, otherwise it would be impossible to provide a fake household registration. When the government issued a certificate, the local It is impossible for officials to help him cover up."
