The little palace maid Dou Meiyi can't wait to slap this dead eunuch to death, this guy is too eyeless, and his aunt and grandmother are obviously younger than him?
This sister's scream is also disgusting.Dou Meiyi crossed her hands on her waist and said viciously, "You are a dead eunuch, you have no kind of goods, who are you calling sister, who is your sister?"
Hurry up and get out of this Ciqing Palace, or you will be punished with death. ”Although the little palace maid Dou Meiyi looked fierce, she was also stubble.Chen Derun, an old fritter who has been in the inner court for so many years, how can he be afraid of her?
Oh, it shouldn't be too late for love!
Looking at the fierce little palace maid, her white tofu-like skin can be blown apart, her cheeks are slightly red because of anger, and her willow eyebrows are upside down, she is simply indescribably cute and delicate, as if she is pushing her now.But?
Chen Derun asked himself if he was a person with a clear priority.Before capturing Empress Zhang Yan's heart, it's better not to give birth to additional demon moths.Chen Derun's eyes rolled, and he used the flirting skills he had learned from the scoundrels in the market, he first brushed his hair, straightened his appearance, and then showed a smiling expression."
Okay, okay, our family won't call you sister, will we call you sister?
Sister Dou, you really wronged our family, our family came to bring rare objects to Niangniang today, Niangniang took a look at it in her spare time, just to pass the time. ”Dou Meiyi stared at Chen Derun vigilantly, this eunuch didn't care, he smiled and took out a red bag from his arms, and then opened it layer by layer, revealing a thread-bound book, with three gilded characters on it.Chen Derun smiled and said, "Niangniang, this book is a strange book, spread in the Jiangnan market, regardless of whether it is a person or a small person, they all love to read this book, today I will dedicate this strange book to Niangniang, in order to comfort Niangniang's loneliness in the deep palace." ”Although Chen Derun's last sentence was lonely in the deep palace, what he said was really not like words.But Empress Zhang Yan has been a person who has been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child, and she has a natural respect for books.However, the other party is a eunuch after all, and it is not good to accept his things at will.Empress Zhang Yan said lightly, "Don't bother with your father-in-law." ”Then the peerless queen turned around and left coldly, leaving only Chen Derun, who was not dead.When this guy saw the queen leaving, he didn't chase after him with a dead face, he just put the book on the ground, and then glanced at Dou Meiyi meaningfully, and then slowly crossed out.Qingci Palace, Zhang Yan's boudoir!
Compared with the boudoirs of other concubines in the Ming Palace, this Zhang Yan's boudoir is very simple and pure.There is no extravagant furniture in the room, except for a large bookshelf that stands out.The shelves are full of books, and there are even some extremely precious and unique books, and even the bamboo slips of the Qin and Han dynasties, all of which are well preserved, simple and elegant, and look not like a woman's boudoir, but like a man's study.In addition to a large bookshelf, there are not many jewelry displays in Zhang Yan's boudoir, and there is no silk satin.This is not because Zhang Yan is poor, in fact, as the favorite wife of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, how could she have no money?
Maybe some of the concubines were not favored before, and the food they used was within the palace, and sometimes they were even not as decent as the palace maids around the powerful concubines!
For example, the princess of Emperor Wanli, although she has the name of a concubine and gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, she has little food and clothing, and she is not even as good as an ordinary palace maid, which can be described as pitiful!
Empress Zhang Yan does not have these circumstances.Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse favored Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba, he was quite good to his own woman, and he could be described as a gentle and warm man.Therefore, Zhang Yan's current worth is very rich, and the treasures she has accumulated are no less than any of Emperor Chongzhen's concubines.It's just that Zhang Yan has always been simple and doesn't like these luxury things very much, so these precious jewels were sealed up by her and then put away.On weekdays, he wears cloth clothes and clothes, and wears silver hairpins.After Zhang Yan entered the boudoir, the little palace maid Dou Meiyi locked the door, but she still felt unsafe, she simply dragged the tables and chairs again, and put the door to death, for fear of being broken in by this Chen Derun.Then the little palace maid lay on the window and peeked out, until the dead eunuch Chen Derun turned around and left, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then said indignantly, "A few days ago, Chunxiang said good things about Chen Derun in front of Niangniang every day, but Niangniang couldn't listen to it, so she expelled her. ”Chunxiang was originally the palace maid next to Zhang Yan, and she was very trusted by Zhang Yan, but she didn't know why?
Some time ago, she said good things about Chen Derun in Zhang Yan's ears every day, and the angry Zhang Yan directly kicked her out.Zhang Yan smiled faintly, picked up an ancient book casually and looked at it, and said absentmindedly, "The world is ignorant, and they all go for profit, presumably it must be that eunuch who promised heavy profits and blinded Chunxiang's mind, just why should I bother with these trivial things." ”Zhang Yan looks like a master, and in Dou Meiyi's eyes, she is angry and anxious!
She secretly thought: Niangniang, although all trivial things can't disturb your heart, they will kill you!
That Chen Derun has always been treacherous, he will definitely not give up, Niangniang, if you continue to mix like this every day, sooner or later you will be harmed by the dog and thief, and when the time comes, not only will your reputation be lost, but you are afraid that your life will not be guaranteed!
Although Dou Meiyi is young, she is ice and snow smart.She had already discovered that this Chen Derun wanted to eat with her mother.In the Ming Palace, food is not uncommon, in the previous dynasty, the palace maids even blatantly ate with the eunuchs, and even some unfavored concubines or concubines will be willing to degenerate and eunuchs pretend to be fake couples, sneaking against each other.Although the eunuch has no such thing, it can't cause substantial harm to Zhang Yan, but his own mother is a high-minded person, if she is really succeeded by Chen Derun, the dead eunuch, I am afraid that the mother will commit suicide!
Dou Meiyi was anxious, "Niangniang, the slave maid also invites you to go to Chen Derun in front of His Majesty, there are obviously so many people guarding the palace gate today, this Chen Derun still broke in, it can be seen that those people have been bought by this guy."
Niangniang, you are in danger now, if this dog gelding thief breaks in in the middle of the night, the people around him cannot be trusted, how can the slave and the mother be the opponent of the dog gelding thief, hey.The little palace maid Dou Meiyi was about to cry.Why is her mother's temperament slow?
There are three gates of Ciqing Palace, and the eunuchs and grandmothers who sweep and guard the doors do not know how many, not to mention some palace maids who are waiting.But they all disappeared together, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Derun actually bought this Ciqing Palace, it's terrible to think about.At this moment, there was a knock at the door, and a female voice shouted anxiously, "Niangniang, why did you close the door in broad daylight?"
The slaves and maids were worried. ”Dou Meiyi opened the door angrily, "You dead hooves, where did you run away just now, didn't you do something sorry for your mother?"
They still have the cheeks to come back, why don't you die?"
The person who called the door was the palace maid of Ciqing Palace, called Ruixiang, and there were more than a dozen little palace maids standing behind her, all of whom had their heads down, their faces were red, and they didn't dare to look at Dou Meiyi, and they looked like they had done something wrong.Ruixiang is a big palace maid, she is older, and her experience is richer, she naturally will not blush like the little palace maid, Ruixiang covered her lips and smiled, "Look at what you said, what is the shame or not, I just went to get the palace share, this month there are a lot of palace shares, I have waited for several trips, and I haven't finished receiving it!"
”Dou Meiyi saw that the palace maids behind Ruixiang were indeed holding large and small boxes, and some were also carrying hemp bags, and the sacks were bulging, and there were indeed a lot more things than in previous months.But?
Even if you get something, is it necessary for everyone to go?
Dou Meiyi glanced at Ruixiang fiercely, but Ruixiang didn't care, she stepped forward by herself, first made a blessing to Queen Zhang Yan, and then took a brocade box, opened it and smelled a smell of medicinal incense.In the brocade box, there is a hollow delicate filigree sachet, this sachet is made of red gold drawing, and then slowly weaved, dotted with large rubies, precious and abnormal, is a rare treasure, and the medicinal fragrance is emanating from this sachet.Ruixiang smiled skillfully, "Niangniang, this is the emperor's majesty specially rewarded to Niangniang, now the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, insects and snakes are raging, Your Majesty deliberately used five poisons, plus mugwort leaves and realgar and other things, to make spices, and told Niangniang to wear it." ”His Majesty the Emperor today sent a sachet from his sister-in-law?
This seems to be a bit out of line, but now it's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Ming Palace has always worn five poisonous sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival to drive away evil spirits, so when I think about it, there is nothing left.The so-called five poisons refer to scorpions, toads, snakes, spiders, and lizards.Wearing the five poisonous sachets can fight poison with poison, in order to spend the Dragon Boat Festival safely, this is the tradition of the Ming Palace.It's just that over the years, Zhang Yan has been like a dead heart, and she doesn't care about any solar terms, so she hasn't had any Dragon Boat Festival for a long time.Empress Zhang Yan didn't look at this sachet, but said indifferently, "Meiyi, you just took the things." ”Ruixiang hurriedly picked up the Five Poisons Sachet and held it high, and then knelt on the ground, "Niangniang, this thing is given by Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has specially explained that you must wear it if you want Niangniang, and please don't live up to the grace of God." ”Empress Zhang Yan pondered for a moment, "Okay, just wear it!"
”At this moment, there was a sudden thunderclap in the sky.The Dragon Boat Festival is windy and rainy, and the thunder is cool at night.The sky suddenly darkened, the wind rose suddenly, the dark clouds rolled, and there was inevitably a shower.Empress Zhang Yan suddenly found that Chen Derun did not take the book away, the book was placed on the ground at random, and the pages were blown by the wind.Zhang Yan is a book lover, and even respects books.She feels that every book inherits knowledge, and even the most worn books cannot be discarded at will.Although Chen Derun is shameless, but the books are not guilty, how can he let the rain get wet?
Dou Meiyi knew her mother too well, she sighed, and had to order the little palace maid to pick up the book and wipe it clean, and then place it on the big bookshelf.The outer city of the capital, in front of the gate of Yongding.Li Tianjing and the rest of the homeless people stared at this prosperous scene dumbfounded, was it too shocking?
Merchants came and went, some on horseback, some on foot, and some on camels.There were decent wealthy merchants dressed in silk and satin, and there were also small merchants who were dressed plainly.Nowadays, business is prosperous, coupled with Chongzhen's deliberate guidance, so the people are proud of doing business.There is no longer the feeling that the merchant is the last people.Well, although before Chongzhen's crossing, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were already very bullish, and the wealthy merchant interest groups led by the Donglin Party could even manipulate the government and assassinate the king.In the Ming Dynasty, there were more first assistants from salt merchants, and the status of merchants in the Ming generation can be described as transcendent.But?
Like now, the whole country feels from the bottom of my heart that businessmen are no longer the last people, but it has never been.The status of businessmen has improved dramatically, and no one feels that doing business is a shame, only that tax evasion is the real shame.This is what the people want.Naturally, these are not only due to the vigorous development of Daming's overseas trade, but also the deeper reason is that Daming newspapers and periodicals have finally been rolled out throughout the country, well, at least most of the places are rolled out, except for some places that are really difficult to control.Some of the things propagated by the Ming newspaper have subtly changed the thinking of the people.The common people will no longer feel that the merchants pay less taxes, and it is natural for the scholars not to pay taxes.Mineral taxes, sea taxes, field taxes, salt and iron taxes, all have to be paid, and the country can only be strong if the taxes are sufficient.And only a strong country can allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment.What surprised Chongzhen the most was that even most of the merchants and scholars were brainwashed by the newspaper and felt that they really should pay taxes.Except for a part of the ghosts who are stubborn and silently hiding in the corner waiting for an opportunity.Of course, there are also places where the eggs hurt.Although newspapers have brainwashed most people, the root of human inferiority still exists.Even if all the people feel that they should indeed pay taxes, when it is their turn, they still think about tax evasion.And with the current bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty, there is really no way to eliminate all tax evasion.This is also normal, even in modern society, the income of ordinary people in the banking system at a glance, the electronic tax system is quite perfect, can be accurate to the tax points, but there are still many shameless businessmen evading taxes?
Chongzhen can't do anything about this, and it can even be said that no traverser can put an end to it.Unless the Ming Dynasty really enters the information age.But this is impossible, today's Ming can only say that it is still in the early stage of the industrial age, cannons, gunpowder, shipbuilding, textile machinery, wool industry, although overseas trade is thriving, the Ming treasury and Chongzhen's inner treasury are also increasingly abundant.But it will take at least many years before we can truly enter the industrial age.Not to mention entering the information age?
