There is a time when the sea is dry, and there is a time when the stones are rotten. What kind of friendship is not broken? The most trustworthy thing in the world is friendship, and the most trustworthy thing is friendship. Because it is often the people who hurt you the most who are the ones you trust the most. Once a person turns his face over his face, he can turn a book faster, once he touches his interests. Friendship can be sold for love, but for a higher price.

Yun Xiao weaved a huge net, in which there were the emperor, the queen mother, the princess, and the emperor's most favored courtiers and the queen mother's most favored palace people. And what strings them together is interests, whether it is Wei Qing or Huo Quai. The generals who can go down in history are all the emperor's intimate and trusted people. However, there are exceptions, such as Yue Fei.

Ever since he knew that Li Guang had also withdrawn the buckle, Yun Xiao had maintained a certain degree of suspicion about the moral level of the ancients.

It's the New Year, and the carriages and horses in front of the Yun family are still scarce. However, at this moment, in the conservatory in the backyard, there are the two people closest to the center of the Han Dynasty's power.

"The slave family has to thank Lord Wei for getting out of trouble this time, the slave family will drink this cup of Xie Yunhou and Lord Wei first." Aunt Ying opened her mouth and drained the wine in the cup, drinking freely and generously, without the slightest caution around the Queen Mother.

Yun Xiao held the cup and responded, such a ruthless woman. In order to poison his lover without blinking his eyelids, Yun Xiao had no doubt that this woman could drink with him today. Another day can also stick a knife into his heart.

Aunt Ying transformed into a bold woman, but she had to endure a hard life in the palace. Living in a frightened environment every day will torture a good life into a perversion. There will never be a seat for Aunt Ying at the banquet in the palace. She could only kneel beside the Queen Mother and give the Queen Mother vegetables. You also have to figure out what the Queen Mother wants to eat. Feed it carefully to her mouth, and no banquet will tire her half to death.

But it is because of this little bit of waiting for people that she has today's status. to sit and drink with a marquis of a great Han and a high-ranking official of two thousand stones.

"For this second glass of wine, the slave family wants to pay tribute to the marquis alone. Thanks to Hou Ye's shares, the slave family has something to rely on. Although the Queen Mother also rewarded some land, those who did not produce enough to stuff their teeth were still magnificent. It's just that this casual leak is enough for the slave family to eat and drink for a lifetime. ”

"Where, where. Yun Xiao still has to rely on his aunt to take care of him, and his aunt has to say a lot of good words for Yun Xiao in front of the Queen Mother."

"That's natural, Master Hou will never dare to forget the kindness of the slave family."

Aunt Ying drank very happily. and Yun Xiao and Wei Juan constantly pushed the cup and changed the lamp. From time to time, some palace secrets were revealed in the words. Hearing it, Yun Xiao's eyes flashed with a thick fire of gossip, it turned out that Wang Meiren had married and had children before entering the palace. It turned out that Concubine Li raised several character beauties and often slept with Liu Qida. It turned out that Cheng Ji and Tang Ji ......

A lot of originals. Not to mention Yun Xiao, even Wei Xuan, who is a big spy leader, listens to it with relish. The chopsticks in his hand bit off a few pieces. The eunuch on the side often arranged the dishes and chopsticks for the adult.

If you drink too much, you will naturally talk more. Aunt Ying's mouth became less and less open, and the eunuch who was in charge of waiting around her hurriedly reminded her.

"Auntie, this wine is strong. You have to rush back to Chang'an this evening. If you bring the smell of alcohol, it is difficult for the Queen Mother to explain there. ”

"Oh, hey, I forgot about the cup for a while. Thanks to your reminder, the Hou Ye slave family went back to Chang'an. I really couldn't bear this Yun family delicacy, and after speaking, I took out another croquette from the plate. ”

"Oh, I've got a copy of these things for my aunt to take with me."

"Yunhou is careful, and the slave family has left. Tomorrow is the first day to wait for the Queen Mother, the slave family here first wishes Yunhou and Wei Daren good luck, and the high-ranking officials have to sit and enjoy peace forever. ”

"Thank you, thank you."

Wei Juan and Yun Xiao hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, and Aunt Ying left the Yun family with a wine burp and got into the carriage and went back to Chang'an.

"Old Wei, there are so many strange things in the palace. I haven't heard you say it, it's not interesting enough. ”

"Strange things? If you dare to say this, such a thing is to kill your head. The Imperial Governor's Office supervised the courtiers, with the exception of the Imperial Palace. Whether it is Weiyang Palace or Changle Palace, it is the forbidden area of the Imperial Commander's Office. However, there are only these two places in the world that I can't go to, and the rest of the places have not been hidden from my court office.

I heard that the king of Dongou has already sent Liu Bi's head over. I heard that it was the hand of the drama Mengxia, and I think the mastermind behind it must be Zhou Yafu. ”

"Everyone knows the relationship between Ju Meng and Zhou Yafu, and it is not clever for you to have such a guess. I think that since the south is stable, the next step for the imperial court is to further reduce the feudal domain. Then, it was time to deal with the Huns in the north. ”

"Where is it so fast, the biggest and strongest prince king now is King Liang. King Liang's vassal difficulty, look at it, King Liang is about to enter Beijing again. Chang'an City is another bloody storm, hehe, fortunately, the old man hid here. Just let that guy in Zhidu do it. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, arched their hands, and went back to rest.

"I'm back, how are things going?"

"Queen Mother, you haven't rested yet. Things are going very well, you can rest, and the slave will tell you again tomorrow. ”

"It's okay, you can say it. This person is young when he gets old. Two or three hours of sleep a day is enough, huh, drinking? ”

"The slave maid drank a few glasses with the Marquis of Lintong and Lord Wei, and the slave and maid have seen all the things you ordered, the Queen Mother."

"Then talk to the old body, I can't sleep anyway."

"How can I say it? The feeling that the Yun family Zhuangzi gave to the slave maid was vibrant, how could that word come from......"

"Thriving."

"The slave maid is shallow in knowledge or the queen mother mentioned it, that's the word. The slave maid walked in Yunjia Zhuangzi, and felt that the people there walked differently from those in Chang'an City. Even if you are an old person, you are very energetic when you walk. Compared with other Zhuangzi, this kind of spirit and spirit slave has never been seen anywhere.

The slave now believes that the Marquis of Lintong is a learned person, and if nothing else, let's talk about the match factory he built. When the slaves and maids saw it, they were all old and weak, women and children. There are only a dozen strong laborers, and this match is a consumable with one less one. If you don't have it at home, you have to buy it again, and no one will use those flints and steels anymore with this thing.

According to the estimate of slaves and maids, it is not counted as a foreign city. It's just Chang'an, I'm afraid it's no less than a million boxes a year. If Luoyang and other towns are added, the slave maid does not dare to think about the whole number. It's no wonder that he wants to find His Majesty and the Queen Mother Princess to be his backers, and people will be blushing if they have such a big profit. He also gave the slave and maid a share, and the slave and maid took it. There should also be more money in the palace, and the Queen Mother, you are too simple. ”

"Take it, it's no big deal. When the emperor asked, he said that I asked you to collect it. After following me all these years, what would I do if my old body was gone? When you first got old, you were only six years old and so tall. The old man entered the palace at the age of sixteen, and you were only eight years old that year. was beaten and scolded, and had ups and downs for decades. The emperors were all raised by you, and you don't have any children. While the old man is still there, leave some money for you old people. In the future, the old body of the province will be gone, and you will be looked down upon. ”

"No, Queen Mother, you will definitely live a long life."

Aunt Ying held the hand of the Queen Mother, tears rolled down, and her voice was choked and she couldn't control herself.

The Queen Mother stroked Aunt Ying's head like a pet cat, and patted it twice.

"Don't talk about this for the New Year, and then talk about what you just said about the Yun family, I really want to hear about it."

The Queen Mother sobered up from the initial sighs, and the expression of feelings was a luxury for her, and it was enough to enjoy it for a while.

Aunt Ying wiped the tears from her face and continued.

"Oh, the Yun family's Zhuangzi is really rich. The slaves and maids went from house to house, and almost every family had endless rice to eat. The farmers rushed to send the daughters of the family to the Hou Mansion as subordinates, which was also something that the slaves and maids had never seen.

The Marquis of Lintong took the slaves and maids to walk around the village, and when the farmers saw him, they would put down their work and give him a gift. The slaves and maids could see that it had nothing to do with status, and they really respected such a farmer. But it's strange, the Yun family's fiefdom is very large. But only his family's Zhuangzi and his father-in-law's Yan family's Zhuangzi are so rich, and the other Zhuangzi in the fiefdom are just food and clothing, and they are definitely not rich.

The slave felt that the Marquis of Lintong seemed to be doing it on purpose, deliberately not letting his fiefdom be too rich. Otherwise, with his ability, it is not impossible to make his fief look like a Zhuangzi. The slave couldn't figure this out, and she didn't know what was going on. ”

"You don't understand, he's making the people on the Yun family's Zhuangzi compare. There is a comparison to know that a corn and a meal are not easy to come by, and the farmers will support him as the owner. At the same time, it is also to eliminate the vigilance of the imperial court, if he makes the people of the entire fiefdom regard him as the master, do you think the imperial court can tolerate him. If he has a different heart, Chang'an City raised his arms and shouted what the imperial court should do.

He is a thoughtful and thoughtful man in all aspects. He is indeed a man of great intelligence. ”

"Oh yes, he also got something transparent out of his house. Lintong Hou called it glass, this thing can actually transmit light. It is framed in the window to protect it from the wind and rain, and the people inside look at the outside and see it really. The sun fills the room during the day, and the room is warm. You don't have to light candles, that's a good thing. It's just that the Marquis of Lintong said that this thing is extremely precious. I don't pick much in a year, and I don't know how he picks it. ”

"Oh, there is such a thing in the world? It's a pity that I'm old and can't see it. Otherwise, you must go to the Yun family to see for yourself. ”

His family also built a shed with glass, so that he could grow green vegetables in the winter. The slave maid ate the cucumber he grew today, and it was even more watery than the one offered by the Wen Tang Supervisor.

And the Marquis of Lintong actually planted wild vegetables, not to mention that this thing was made by his cook, it is really delicious. The slave has brought you some back and will give you a taste of it tomorrow morning. (To be continued......)
