Chapter 1419: The Beauties of Sacrifice
"The eldest son of the Hun king who came is said to be the nephew of Zhihuzhi." Qin Shi went out with Hua Shu for a walk and heard about this, he was extremely uneasy, and ran over to find Xiao Nuan, "Do you remember Zhihuzhi?" ”
Xiao Nuan nodded, "In the battle of the Black Mountain Pass in Mobei, the Hun general who was cut off by Wu Huan was the general of the Huns. ”
The Qin family was worried, "Wu Huan killed the eldest prince and his uncle, Wu Yu arrested his father, and his enmity with the Wu family is settled." If he succeeds to the throne of the King of the Huns, he will definitely have to continue to fight with the Wu family. “
The enmity between the Wu family and the Xiongnu was not formed in recent years. Xiao Nuan said, "Twenty-one years ago, the three major generals of the Wu family also died at the hands of the Huns, and Zhihuzhi was a strong general of the Huns at that time. The Wu family has been stationed in Mobei for many years, and there are many Xiongnu generals who died under them. ”
"How can this be negotiated......" Qin shook his head and sighed.
Xiao Nuan smiled, "Didn't my mother say that at the end of the year, can't you sigh?" These important matters of the monarchy are handed over to the saint to worry, let's do our part well, and don't cause chaos to the court. ”
Also, when the Qin family thought about it, they immediately didn't worry, "With my mother's head, I can't even remember how many granges our family has, and I still worry about the important affairs of the monarchy." ”
When Xiao Nuan heard this, she felt a great sense of accomplishment, "Do you want to look at the account books?" We've made a lot of money this year. ”
Of course, the Qin family was willing, so he moved his chair and went to Xiao Nuan's side to read the account books of the grange and the shop with her. The Qin family was frightened by the series of shocking numbers on the account book, and then felt that something was wrong, "Xiao Nuan, where is all the money we earned, why didn't my mother look at it?" ”
The more money they make, the more the warehouses in the Shengwang Mansion, the Fourth Village, and the Yannan Lane house are getting emptier and empty, and they haven't added any big things. Because of this, the Qin family has always felt that the family's business is not good, and wants to persuade Xiao Nuan to spend less money during the New Year.
Xiao Nuan smiled, "As long as there is enough at home, the rest is either invested in business, or put in the money bank to make money, and it is a waste to put it at home." ”
"This money is enough for us to play knurling for ten lifetimes." The Qin clan couldn't even think of putting a piece of this, how high a mountain it was.
Now they are the richest people in Dengzhou, right?
Xiao Nuan shook her head, "No matter how big the family business is, if it is not well managed, it will be ruined." ”
"It can't be destroyed, there are thousands of people who rely on our shops and granges to support their families." Qin Shi hurriedly said.
Now there are more than a few thousand stewards, men, and long-term workers in shops and granges. Xiao Nuan sometimes feels that the burden on her shoulders is very heavy, but she likes this burden, likes this challenge, and likes to make money.
"Mother, don't worry, there is me now, there will be Xiaocao, Erlang and Hongtu in the future, and then there will be children in the future, it will not be destroyed easily."
Speaking of the little girl, Qin asked, "Xiaocao hasn't come back yet?" ”
"Yes." In the past few days, Xiaocao and Li Housheng have been busy with their ghost storybooks, and they often can't see anyone.
As he was talking, He Feng walked in, "Madam, princess, Jiang Yingyang is here." ”
"Let him in." Because I often heard Xiaocao mention Jiang Yingyang, and her mother also said how pitiful this child was, Xiao Nuan also became a little interested in him, so she told the people in the house that if Jiang Yingyang came to deliver New Year's goods at the end of the year, he would bring him in.
Today is the twenty-ninth year of the new year, and he will come sooner rather than later, and it is very timely.
After Jiang Yingyang came in, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Nuan in a proper manner.
Xiao Nuan told him to get up, and through small talk, he understood what kind of person he was.
At the age of eleven, this child is not short but very thin, and he has suffered a lot at first glance. Seeing him, Xiao Nuan thought of Du Tong, who was by Zhizhen's side.
However, Jiang Yingyang is different from Dutong.
After Dutong endured hardships, he learned to observe words and feelings, and he smiled every day, always thinking about seizing the opportunity to let himself live. Jiang Yingyang is the other extreme, he has become extremely sharp, ready to fight with others at any time, in order to scare off those who want to bully him.
In other words, even when he was a beggar, Jiang Yingyang didn't think he was a weakling.
How did such a person become a beggar?
After Jiang Yingyang left, Xiao Nuan asked his mother, "You said he escaped from the wilderness?" ”
"Yes, his family is starving to death, he survives by digging food in the rat hole, this child is too bitter." The Qin family is soft-hearted, especially when they can't see children suffering, "I don't know if the Hualang family accepts apprentices with foreign surnames?" ”
After Chiba and Lingyu were full moon, Hua Yunqi returned to Hua's house, and Hua Yunluo did not come back. Qin wanted to ask, but there was nowhere to ask.
Before investigating Jiang Yingyang's details and temperament, Xiao Nuan will not treat him as his own, "Taikang is the best medical hall in the capital, and Langzhong in it is also the top." He was able to learn the Lang Chinese medicine skills of Taikang Medical Center, which was enough to eat for a lifetime. ”
After her mother left, Xiao Nuan instructed Xuan Wu, "Use the secret guard to investigate Jiang Yingyang's origin, don't alarm my mother and Xiaocao." ”
Xuan Wu responded, "Princess, this Jiang Yingyang has a life on his hands, I'm afraid there is more than one." ”
The dark guard has a sense of smell, and Xuan Wu said that if he has killed someone, he must have killed him. In the Great Zhou, killing people could not determine his good or evil, but it could prove his courage and means.
The kid covered half of his face with his forehead hair, presumably to cover something. Xiao Nuan instructed, "Find out as soon as possible, and don't let him get close to my mother and Xiaocao until you find out." ”
"Yes!"
As soon as Xuan Wu went out, Green Butterfly came running on the ground, "Princess, the Hun mission has entered Beijing, and they have brought dozens of truckloads of fur treasures and more than a dozen beauties, which means to enter the sacred." ”
Beauty, Xiao Nuan raised her eyebrows, "How beautiful?" ”
Green Butterfly shook her head, "I didn't see my face, but my body is quite good, and the slave will go to the post house at night tonight to figure it out." ”
Xiao Nuan smiled, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" ”
Green Butterfly smiled, "The prince is a celebrity in front of the saint, and he is also the minister of the reception mission, do you think how many of these beauties will fall on the third master?" ”
Thinking that someone was going to give the third master a beauty, Xiao Nuan was also excited, "I don't need you to make a move, I have a more secure way here." ”
"Princess, start early."
"Don't worry."
Xiao Nuan immediately called Wang Quantong in, "I heard that the Huns have brought a group of beauties, you go and inquire about how beautiful they are and what their origin is, so as to be detailed." ”
Wang Quantong was hairy, "What does the princess mean?" ”
Xiao Nuan smiled and groaned, "What if there is a suitable one." ”
Share? What is the princess going to do with a beauty? The more Wang Quantong thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
The chief butler of King Sheng's Mansion is certainly not in vain. It took Wang Quantong a few hours to inquire about the origin and purpose of these beauties, even including the purpose of the Xiongnu prince taking them to Beijing.
"A total of sixteen beauties, ten for Banzai, four for the third master, and two for Fang Zi'an, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." Wang Quantong handed the list to the princess, "According to the rules, they will first send the beauties to the palace for Banzai to pick, and then send them to the third master after Banzai has picked them." ”
The emperor, the most important thing is women. However, Xiao Nuan knew that Emperor Xining would not want it these years, because he had to keep filial piety for the first emperor.
The mission brought the beauties, the palace was not left, and according to the rules, Emperor Xining would pick a few good ones and "reward" them to the courtiers.
Yes, this kind of beauty that is sacrificed is a plaything and a cargo in their eyes!
Xiao Nuan shook off all kinds of ideas in her head, carefully studied the list of beauties, and picked the ones with good conditions.
When the third master returned, he saw his little princess smiling at him. This smile is too familiar to the third master, "Earned a lot of money again?" ”
