"My lord, my lord, what are you looking for? Please take a rest!"
Eleven's worried voice came from the small courtyard of Prince Yi's Mansion.
And Yan Xing stood in front of him, unable to stop him. He didn't miss any corner, rummaging around, as if he wanted to find something in the courtyard.
He was so tired that his whole body was soaked with hot sweat, and he dug out an old imperial edict from a dusty box.
There are countless imperial edicts received by Prince Yi's Mansion. Which of those edicts can be sent to him, has he not respectfully placed them in his study for safekeeping?
The only thing that was thrown into the small courtyard, without even thinking about it, must have been the marriage granted by the late emperor back then.
As if Yan Xing had found a treasure, he carefully spread out the imperial edict, read the above content word for word, and murmured to himself:
"She and I were supposed to be a destined couple, why did it become like this... I regret it, I really regret it."
What he thought was just a dream turned out to be the sixteen years that Zhu Sijia actually experienced in his previous life.
Sixteen years of being trapped in the palace without seeing the light of day, sixteen years of being childless and becoming a laughing stock in Xijing, sixteen years of hard work softening the pride she had cultivated in the wind and snow.
In the end, he died in a miserable state, and his body became cold little by little in his arms.
My master has been in a lot of strange situations recently, and today he even dared to risk the disapproval of the world to remember the person in the palace in his residence. Suddenly, he felt a chill spreading from the soles of his feet to his scalp, and he barely stepped forward to cover Yan Xing's mouth:
"My lord, have you forgotten that Prince Yan's Mansion accepted the marriage certificate you sent a few days ago? Don't be stupid again at this time!"
Although Zhu Siyi had a falling out with him on his birthday, Yan Xing spent a whole month visiting his door every day to ask for an appointment. Zhu Siyi rejected him for a whole month, and the two reconciled after that.
It was also after Zhu Siyi was coaxed by him that he gave her the marriage certificate she had been waiting for for many years.
If nothing happens, in March next year, he will marry Zhu Siyi in all glory, regardless of all criticism.
After hearing the word "marriage letter", Yan Xing not only did not calm down, but became even more agitated: "On the 11th, prepare your horses, I am going to Prince Yan's Mansion to annul the engagement!"
Eleven lay on the ground and held on to his legs: "My lord, please be patient. The eldest lady has been waiting for you for so many years. If you have any questions, you can ask her in front of her. Why bother to chill her heart in this way?" Woolen cloth?"
Yan Xing clutched the imperial edict tightly and sat on the ground dejectedly: "Hanxin? You're right... Eleven, you're right, we won't go to Prince Yan's Mansion."
If she hadn't replaced the bowl of mute medicine with poison in the previous life, how could Zhu Sijia be allowed to die?
Why did his Scarlett have to go to hell alone, while she could remain safe and sound as the Queen Mother of the Qin Dynasty for so many years?
She should pay for this.
Yan Xing suppressed his overwhelming resentment and acted like a normal person. With a snap of his fingers, he transformed back into his usual noble gentleman:
"Eleven, do you think the palace will hold a Laba Banquet this year?"
…
The snow from the north has reached Xijing.
Pieces of goose-feather-like snow fell one after another, and the solemn and solemn black palace was covered in silver. Everything between the sky and the earth was pale, and it was impossible to tell where the boundary was.
Xijing has never snowed so heavily.
There was heavy snowfall, but Zhu Sijia insisted on going out to enjoy the snow.
The people in Changle Palace couldn't help but said: "Jieyu, you are already weak, what if you freeze your body? If His Majesty knows that you are out enjoying the snow, we will be punished."
I wish Scarlett had changed her clothes early, and even wore the fox fur boots sent by the Clothing Bureau.
The winter coat is thick, but it doesn't feel bloated when worn on her. The bright red and purple colors, which are easy for ordinary people to wear to be tacky, make her look bright and beautiful, like a peony about to be covered with snow.
"Don't worry, the snow in Xijing is far less than that in the north." Zhu Sijia put on her cloak, and the hood covered her small face as big as a palm, "Zhu Ya, come with me."
Zhu Ya looked at the snow outside the palace and was excited to try it out: "If Jieyu agrees to let this slave go play in the snow, I will go with Jieyu."
Zhu Sijia smiled and said: "You can let go and play. With me here, who in the palace dares to lecture you?"
The master and servant set off from Changle Palace and walked all the way towards Taiye Pond.
I heard that the snow scene of Penglai Island in Taiye Lake is one of the best in the palace.
When Zhu Ya first started watching and playing in the snow, she thought it was strange, but after staying in the snow for a long time, it was inevitably boring, and the hand stove couldn't warm her red hands from the cold. Now she just wanted to go to Penglai Island to rest.
Seeing her jumping up and down and trembling constantly, Zhu Scarlett tried to divert her attention: "How did you fool His Majesty yesterday?"
After all, so much charcoal was placed in the palace and she did not practice, which inevitably aroused Yan Xiu's suspicion.
Zhu Ya breathed out bursts of white air: "Naturally, my servant was moved by emotion and reason, and persuaded your majesty on the grounds that the disaster in the north was serious and that it was not suitable to wait and see for a while and that it was not suitable for large-scale smelting. Your majesty is a reasonable king, so he naturally felt that this was the case. The plan is feasible.”
The Northern Territory is mainly based on livestock husbandry, nomadic grazing, and the production of various ores. Although there are many vegetation and forests, they are not the main charcoal-producing areas. Therefore, charcoal fire has become an urgently needed item for all the cities in the Northern Territory.
But now with the charcoal brought back by Zhu Ya from the Miao border, there will be no more casualties and refugees in the north this winter.
Zhu Ya continued: "Not only that, but charcoal is constantly being transported from Miao Territory to Xijing! It was Jieyu who said at the beginning that the more the better, so I opened my mouth like a lion and used the money given by Your Majesty to order from Miao Territory. Two thousand cars.”
"Only 300 carts were brought into Xijing a few days ago. The Miao people are still making charcoal. Another 300 carts were brought on the road yesterday, and there are still 1,400 carts left."
Zhu Sijia was curious: "What? Aren't you afraid that when the Miao people see the disaster in Daqin, they will take advantage of it and raise prices?"
In the previous life, Miao Jiang took advantage of the Qin, Zhou and Qi kingdoms to purchase charcoal at the same time and made a huge sum of money. Miao Jiang, which was originally barren, became rich overnight.
Therefore, Zhu Sijia was absolutely certain that charcoal would be available in Miaojiang.
Zhu Ya was confident: "The Miao people dare not raise a penny! When the slave was in Shu, he took the initiative to make friends with General Du, the general of Shu. General Du's reputation resounded throughout the Miao territory, and he told his name in front of the Miao people. It can make the Miao people feel frightened."
"Moreover, the slave personally went deep into the capital of the Miao Kingdom and invited the second prince of the Miao Kingdom to Yizhou as a guest."
"Under the witness of General Du, an agreement was signed in triplicate with the second prince. Not only was the price of charcoal fire lowered in the name of large quantities, the agreement also stipulated that the Miao people were not allowed to sit on the ground and raise prices at any time. The second best is the best, and the best is no less than the best."
"General Du also has an agreement in his hand. He promised to assist the slaves and inspect the charcoal before transporting it to Qin Dynasty before transporting it to Xijing. If it is not qualified, the Miao people will wait to be shot by Du's army."
Zhu Scarlett was greatly shocked: "This, this... how can you, a twenty-year-old woman, have such vision and courage?"
This Zhu Ya is simply a business wizard.
