Chapter 124: The Princess's Decision
Xiangshan, see Xinzhai Courtyard.
Since the completion of the construction of the white jade building at the foot of the mountain, Gao Pragmatic has rarely come to the mountain to see the heart of the body.
Over the years, the scope of "Jianxinzhai Annex" has become larger and larger, and it has been hundreds of times that of the first emperor Longqing to give him Jianxinzhai, after all, the previous Jianxinzhai was just a courtyard, and then the wealthy and powerful Gao Pragmatic kept buying land and exchanging land around - some places had been bought by the nobles, since Gao Pragmatic wanted it, they were willing to do the exchange - so now the Jianxinzhai has been mainly used as the "title" of this super large courtyard, in fact, it is rarely used.
However, when Gao Pragmatic is here today, he is quite satisfied. The whole Jianxinzhai is well preserved, as if it has been used by someone, although there are traces of sweeping everywhere in the courtyard, but it is just an ordinary cleaning, it can be seen that these works are taken care of by special people on weekdays, so that Jianxinzhai always maintains the appearance of being ready to welcome him at any time.
Money is really money, seeing that Xinzhai can have such a state, isn't it all because there is no shortage of money?
The only fly in the ointment is probably that there are very few young maids in Xinzhai, and most of them are slave women who have become families.
Gao Pragmatic asked Gao Mo casually, only to know that this was actually his own idea: at the beginning, Gao Pragmatic had asked to reduce the proportion of young maids in the Jianxinzhai Courtyard as a whole, so that more young maids should marry others, don't drag him to become an old girl, and then he can only marry someone with worse conditions.
Of course, this request was implemented, but the proportion of young maids in the Baiyulou where Gao Shishi himself lived was not reduced, and the rest of the entire Xiangshan, whether it was the host area or the guest area, the number of young maids was greatly reduced.
This situation did not improve slightly until Huang Zhiting married into the Gao family, because Huang Zhiting, as a family of toasts, the maids and maids in the family are all real "slaves" for more than 600 years - I don't know how many generations of ancestors are all in this identity, which is much more powerful than the so-called "family children" of the Ming and Han people. The maids she married were destined to have this day since they were born, so they suddenly added nearly three hundred young girls in their teens to the Gao Pragmatic Courtyard, and as for the young men, the number was about the same, and they also stayed here.
This is the case in a hierarchical society, where these little girls enjoy treatment that is not common in this era, and they also have a life trajectory that they must follow.
For their lives, the best outcome is to be looked upon by Gao Shipra, whether they accept the house or not, Huang Zhiting, as the housemother, will treat them better - because their slave contract will not change, so their favor is equivalent to Huang Zhiting's favor. Huang Zhiting still has the power to dispose of them at will, so there is no jealousy, and this kind of rule or custom is common among the toasts.
It's a pity that until now, Gao Pragmatic has not shown much interest in this, but has disappointed many girls who hope to fly on the branches and become phoenixes.
Of course, the benefits are not impossible, at least Gao Shi Ming has clearly determined a family rule, twenty years old maids who have not yet been accepted into the house will be allowed to marry, of course, the premise is "internal marriage" - this internal includes the Gao and Huang families, slaves, and later even relaxed to the entire Jinghua long-term employees.
Don't underestimate the last one, the experience of being a maid by Gao Pragmatic's side is not only not a stain on them, but a great plus. Because it is impossible for a girl with poor conditions to be selected to enter the core of Jinghua to see the heart of the courtyard to do things, can enter the heart of the heart of the house to work, it means that this girl is not only young and beautiful, but also in all other aspects of the conditions are very good, and even some have also read, know some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, tea art and other technical work, marry home is really good in the hall and kitchen.
As for the issue of chastity, which people in this era are most worried about, it is actually not a problem. The truth is even simpler: no one would believe that a girl would be released to marry someone after being a high pragmatic person - your face is worth as much as the face of a high cardinal?
It's cruel, but it's also realistic.
Therefore, the maids of the Shinshai Courtyard now have a new "role", that is, they are used to marry various outstanding families in the Jinghua system, so that the loyal are more loyal.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic came to see Xinzhai and was not very boring, he had two reasons: first, the champion of Zhaohui Jinggongfang (now Shilang's Mansion) was not far from the north gate of the palace, and there were too many officials who came and went, and many people tried every means to meet Gao Pragmatic, and Gao Pragmatic was now inconvenient to see them, so he simply hid out of the capital and came to the courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing to close his doors.
Second, he is going to meet with Princess Yongning today, not to mention that it is inconvenient for the Shilang Mansion to receive him secretly, even if the Baiyulou is a little too eye-catching, so it can be more hidden to go directly to Xiangshan.
Liu Xin, the new personal staff of Gao Pragmatic, did not come with him, although Gao Pragmatic specially opened his mouth to invite, but Liu Xin refused the invitation with "the new staff member needs to consult many documents and files" and stayed in the Baiyu Building under the mountain.
After the last Zhang Whale incident, Princess Yongning's Changchun Palace was "taken care of" by Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju again, and all the palace maids and eunuchs in it were replaced with trustworthy people. With the restructuring of Beijing and the improvement of Wang Zhizhen and Gao Wuben's status in Jinyiwei, Gao Pragmatic has also penetrated more deeply in the palace guards.
If it is still more sensitive to arrange people to enter the palace, it is best not to try it easily, then arranging one or two "palace maids" to leave the palace from the palace is simply too easy, and it is not a problem at all.
Gao Pragmatic was waiting in the main building of Jianxinzhai, and by the way, he made some replies to the requests and reports sent by various ministries in Beijing, and did not wait too long, and then a maid led Princess Yongning, who had changed into the common clothes of everyone's ladies, to come.
Princess Yongning was wearing a carmine gown and a grape purple skirt, and her overall dress was a little calm, I don't know whose idea it was. Of course, it may also be that she wants to remind herself that she is already a "widowed" woman from her dress, although there are many people who think that she is not worth it even among the people - after all, she has never had a cave with that Liang Bangrui at all, and secondly, it has been proved afterwards that the Liang family deliberately deceived the monarch and died innocently.
Of course, the more mainstream view of the people is still "a pity", after all, everyone knows that the heavenly family wants to be faced, and when things get to that point, since the emperor and the queen mother didn't say much, Princess Yongning herself refused to remarry, so the consequences of this matter can only be borne by Her Royal Highness the princess herself.
Is it unfair? Of course, everyone in the world knows about injustice.
Should the marriage be repented or declared null and void? It's hard to say, maybe most people still think that "regretting marriage is reasonable, but it's always better not to regret it".
Ritual cannibalism is indeed a tradition.
When Princess Yongning appeared at the door, Gao Pragmatic had already gotten up, walked up quickly, and bowed slightly: "Minister Gao Pragmatic has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
Princess Yongning's face that couldn't help but be flushed just now suddenly froze, she was silent for a moment, squeezed out a strong smile, and whispered: "Young Sima doesn't need to be polite. ”
Gao Pragmatic glanced at Gao Mo, and said to Princess Yongning with a comfortable face: "Eldest princess, please take a seat." ”
Princess Yongning didn't move, but Gao Mo moved quickly, and at the same time, he waved his hand and took all the maids who were waiting on the side out, and the vigor of the pace should definitely not be what an old man of this age should have.
Gao Pragmatic looked at Princess Yongning, and was about to invite her to sit down again, but who expected Princess Yongning to suddenly pounce forward, and the milk swallow threw herself into Gao Pragmatic's arms.
"How dare you take only 30,000 people to fight 150,000 or 60,000 Mongols? I was so anxious in the palace that I didn't dare to sleep all night long, for fear that I would suddenly get news that you were ...... Say something happened to you, you know? Why do you ...... Woohoo......"
hurriedly said this paragraph, and Her Royal Highness the Princess could no longer speak. She buried her head in Gao Pragmatic's arms, her body trembled slightly, her hands tightly wrapped around Gao Pragmatic's waist, and her two small hands were still grabbing the clothes on Gao Pragmatic's waist, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly fly away. Bashan loves
"Your Highness......" Gao Pragmatic did not expect today's meeting to be such an opening. Even if he has always been "like a god", he was a little overwhelmed for a while, and he didn't know whether he should follow the princess's wishes, and he hugged her instead, so he quickly stretched out his hand and signaled that he didn't take the opportunity to be rude.
"I don't want you to call me Your Highness!" Princess Yongning's voice obviously had a sense of resentment and anger, and she listened to Gao Shishi with a wry smile.
"Miss Zhu......"
"That's not what it says!"
Well, now it's even more coquettish.
"This ......" Gao pragmatic said with a dry smile: "If you call Yao Yuan, I'm afraid that it will be a little disrespectful." ”
"It's not like you've been 'disrespectful' anyway, so what if you're disrespectful again?" Princess Yongning was finally willing to raise her head, looking a little pouted, and looked directly into Gao Shishi's eyes with the courage that she didn't know where she came from, and said, "Last time in Baiyulou, you not only hugged me, but also kissed me, and even ...... You even unbuttoned my shirt, how can you be disrespectful? ”
Gao Shishi's eyes widened, and he said in his heart: I can't blame me for that last time, it was you who brought aphrodisiac drugs on your body, this is your own playing with fire, how can you blame me for being disrespectful?
"It's useless to keep your eyes open, you've been disrespectful anyway...... Why don't you dare this time? "Although Princess Yongning's courage doesn't come from, her shyness can't be concealed after all. Although she was "justified" when she said this, her cheeks had already flown away, and her delicate little face was as red as fire.
Gao Pragmatic smelled the fragrance on her body at close range, and listened to her bold words, and said in his heart: Oh no, this girl is stuffy in the palace every day, and it is estimated that she is too lazy to think about anything else except me, but I am afraid that she is about to be stunned. If I still reject her now, based on the blows she has suffered before, I am afraid that the world will collapse, and something big will happen.
Gao pragmatic smiled bitterly: "Well, if the fourth princess is approved, I will naturally dare." ”
This time Princess Yongning is really different from before, when she heard Gao Pragmatic say this, she didn't flinch, nor did she hesitate because of shyness, but immediately said: "Okay, I'm approved." Then he raised his little face and closed his eyes.
Gao Pragmatic originally wanted to take her into the army, after all, even the last time she was in Baiyulou, Princess Yongning even came with aphrodisiac drugs, but in fact, she was extremely shy when she was alone. Who knew that this time Princess Yongning was like eating a leopard's gall, and she dared to take the initiative to ask for a kiss!
According to the consistent habit of high pragmatism, when a person's mentality changes dramatically, he must think carefully about the reasons for this, but it is definitely too late at the moment......
Gao Shishi took a deep breath, lowered his head, and gently touched Princess Yongning's lips with his mouth. Just as he was about to take it back, who knew that the hands that Princess Yongning was originally holding his waist had moved to the back of his head at some point, and at this time, she actually pressed him to her lips with force.
This is not over, Her Royal Highness the princess didn't know if she had done any "homework" in advance this time, and actually clumsily began to stretch the lilac tongue forward.
Gao Pragmatic was taken aback, and said in his heart, is this thing really self-taught?
He was in shock for a while, so naturally he didn't "open the door", but Princess Yongning in the other side seemed to have made up her mind, not only refused to stop, but also worked harder, and she had the momentum of not breaking Loulan and never returning it.
Gao Pragmatic saw that the situation was not good, and said in his heart that he was not going to do that bad thing here today, and after talking to her for a while, he would go to Liu Xin to discuss business, in case Liu Xin saw something, with her current identity with Huang Zhiting like best friends, how would she explain to Zhiting at that time?
Gao Pragmatic hurriedly tilted his head back, and at the same time immediately spoke: "Wait, I have something to ask!" ”
Princess Yongning was emotional, and was suddenly interrupted by Gao Shishi, and pouted Lao Gao with great dissatisfaction, looked at him resentfully, and said reluctantly: "Can't you wait and ask later?" ”
it, wait a minute? Something big will happen in a little while!
Gao Pragmatic hurriedly shook his head and said, "Fourth princess, you have been ...... lately Is it stimulated by something? ”
"yes!" Princess Yongning still pouted: "I was almost scared to death by you, isn't it stimulated?" ”
Gao Pragmatic was a little unconvinced: "That's it? ”
"That's it? How else are you going to stimulate me? Princess Yongning said disagreeingly: "You have ...... last time I've figured it out, even if it'...... Even if...... I won't give up. ”
Well?
No, I didn't do much last time, did I? Hugged, kissed...... Uh, just touched it, it's not a big deal, you're still finished, how can you say it as if it's already there?
Maybe it was Gao Pragmatic's look that was too weird, Princess Yongning's face turned even redder, and she finally gained the upper hand with shyness, but after she lowered her head, she still said in her mouth: "Didn't you use the Zhu Note of 'Competing Martial King, No Competing Martial Spirit' to persuade me last time?" [Note: Zhu commented that King Yanwu held his unremitting heart of self-improvement, so his meritorious glory is unobtrusive in the world. ]
You say: In the final analysis, this means not to feel sorry for yourself because of the predicament you are facing at the moment, but to always stick to your heart, make unremitting efforts, and strive for what you want - that's what you said, right? ”
Gao Shishi swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and said with a dry smile: "It's me who said it right, but I mean ......"
"All I want is you, and only you." Princess Yongning suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of determination: "This year is the fifteenth year of Wanli, and I will soon be twenty years old, I ...... I'm afraid if I wait any longer, you won't want me. ”
