Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

Without these idle books, Third Sister You sighed every day, feeling bored and having nothing to do.

Mother You snorted coldly, and asked her to follow You's school as a housekeeper, and then Third Sister You ran away.

Third Sister You is not so afraid of Xichun now, she lays down on the table and keeps screaming that she is bored.

Xichun asked her what she used to do on weekdays.

Third Sister You blinked, "I learned from my mother and eldest sister to be a housekeeper, read a book, occasionally visit my second sister, and watch a play by the way."

Xichun turned to look at her, "Do you still like to listen to opera? What kind of songs do you like? If it's suitable, I'll have someone come to my house to sing a discount."

Third Sister You blushed a little, and faltered and hummed. Seeing her, Xichun knew what kind of drama she liked to watch.

Xichun didn't reveal anything, just smiled and read with the book again.

Third Sister You carefully approached to see what book Xichun was reading, and when she found out it was Shiji, she stuck out her tongue and ran away.

After a while, I heard from Lichun that Third Sister You had someone hire a carriage to visit Second Sister You.

Lichun offered tea to Xichun, "Miss San's temperament is rare."

Xichun took the tea and took a sip, "Yes, sometimes, I really envy her temperament."

Without the cynicism of the past, the unrestrained energy of daring to love and hate began to show.

Li Chun hesitated and said: "Princess, the son of General Wu, please see me."

Xichun clapped her hands, "Has he returned to the capital?"

Li Chun paid careful attention to Xi Chun's expression, "I heard from him that he just came back today, and when he found out that the Princess is here, he came directly."

Xichun said, and put the teacup back on the table, "Then tell him, I'm in a bad mood recently and don't see any customers."

Lichun responded and went out again.

Xichun looked at the historical records in his hand, but he couldn't read those words anymore.

After a while, Li Chun came back in a hurry, "Princess, the second lady came to see you, and just happened to bump into General Wu Xiao. Grandma also knew the news and brought her guards to the gate."

Xichun was startled, and immediately let Lichun and herself go over.

As soon as Xichun arrived at the door, she heard You Shi asking the guards to beat Wu Hai out.

Xichun stepped forward a few steps, "Stop!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at her, Yingchun looked angry, and stepped forward to hold her hand, "Why did you come out? Let's go inside first, ignore him!"

You Shi also nodded, "Yes, you go in first, there is a sister-in-law here!"

Wu Hai looked straight at Xichun, "Princess Jia, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Xichun looked at him, and saw that his face was pale, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his lips were dry and peeled.

Xichun sighed, "General Wu's injuries are not healed yet, let's go home to recuperate first."

Wu Hai didn't move, "Jin Han is my good brother, he dare not tell you some things, so I want to tell you for him, he is a good person, he has always hoped that you can live well, I don't want you because Some misunderstood and resented him."

Xichun was silent for a while and said: "I know Brother Jin is a good person, and I don't hold any grudges against him."

Although she persuaded Jin Yue like that at the beginning, they all knew in their hearts that Jin Han was probably dead, and death was like a lamp going out. Let her resent a dead person who did nothing wrong, or a soldier who died in battle. She can't do it.

Xichun turned around and walked in, "General Wu, please go back."

After returning to the house, Yingchun walked around the room angrily. Xichun got a headache from being shaken by her, so she hurriedly pulled her to sit down, "Okay, what are you doing so angry? Are you going to beat him up?"

Yingchun choked, she really wanted someone to beat Wu Hai up, but seeing his injuries in defending his home and country, Yingchun finally said bitterly: "Who is it! I think he is a good person, but he still has the face to come here and say those things, really!"

Xichun smiled and comforted her, "Don't be angry anymore, he will leave in a while, did you come today for something?"

Yingchun said: "Can't I come and see you?"

Xichun nodded, "Okay! Of course! I raise my hands to welcome my sister!" Xichun said, shaking her hands, "Welcome, welcome, warmly welcome!"

Yingchun burst out laughing, and Xichun immediately said, "Aren't you angry?"

Yingchun glared at her, and took out a letter from her bosom, "A letter from the third sister."

Xichun immediately took it and took it apart to look at it, "Hey, third sister wants to open a shop? What does she sell? Is it vinegar?"

Last time Tanchun sent them the vinegar he brewed himself, and finally it was brewed successfully, and the taste was not bad. They sent a lot of vinegar made by themselves. After receiving it, Xichun wrote to make fun of Tanchun, saying that the third brother-in-law would eat vinegar every day, and Tanchun wrote several letters scolding him.

After hearing this, Yingchun laughed and said, "Be careful, the third younger sister will write to you after she finds out about it."

Xichun snorted with a smile, "I'm not afraid of her, I can't hear her anyway, I just don't read the letters!"

Xichun continued to look down and realized that Tanchun wanted to open a shop selling Beijing products, and at the same time asked them if they would also open a shop selling Shanxi products in the capital, so that the two sides could supply each other.

Yingchun said: "I think the third sister's idea is good, you can give it a try."

Xichun shook her head, "But it's not enough. It's too monotonous to just sell Beijing goods or Shanxi goods. It's not profitable to sell ordinary goods, but we can't do it in other well-connected big shops. We don't have the ability to sell some high-end goods. , and doing business, cost alone is a big problem, and sales are also a problem.”

Yingchun said: "Why don't you bring Sister Lin with you? The goods from Yangzhou should be enough." After speaking, she shook her head and said, "But the transportation cost will be high."

Xichun's eyes lit up suddenly, "No, maybe it will be easier to transport after a while!"

Yingchun also thought about it, "You mean your concrete road?"

Xichun nodded, "I also have the right to sell cement, as long as I don't compete with the household department. If we don't build too much, we will build the official road from the capital to the third sister. Yangzhou can travel to the capital by water."

Yingchun did the math, "This distance is not short."

Xichun simply asked Lichun to take out a copy of the picture, and Yingchun was stunned when she saw it, "You still have this?"

Xichun pointed to the road from the capital to Shanxi, "Now the construction level of the cement road can be guaranteed. It is completely unrealistic for us to repair all this section of the road. We only need to build a section of the road. The shortest way is from the capital to Shanxi." Which county is the city in? We can just build this section, and when it becomes prosperous there, we can use it as a template, and if the surrounding counties also want to build cement roads, we will help them too!"

Yingchun also understood, "I've seen roads built with cement. No doubt, such a good road can be obtained with only a small amount of manpower and material resources. It is impossible for them to give up such achievements. I am afraid that we will help them build it in the early stage, and then we will build it for them. They begged us to build it."

Xichun nodded, "And now His Majesty is also hoping to build concrete roads across the country as soon as possible, but there are not many people who can be sent to build concrete roads now, and there are no real concrete roads in various places. Some people don't believe it, so they didn't start it immediately."

"Let's build it first, and when the ministers see the benefits of cement roads with their own eyes, they will naturally ask His Majesty to build roads in various places. When His Majesty orders to start road construction, we will help Shanxi, so it will be fast."

Yingchun said again: "But in this way, we probably won't have enough manpower and cement dust."

Xichun thought for a while and said: "Manpower can let the people in the meeting teach a few more, learn and get started quickly, this is not difficult in the first place, your majesty is always short of manpower because more people are running away Repair the cement house."

"The raw material of cement ash is very simple and easy to get. It's just that it's not easy to collect in large quantities. Your Majesty should have a special channel to collect it. We can tell His Majesty to share some with us. Anyway, we didn't use it indiscriminately."

Yingchun looked at Xichun helplessly, "Why do you only want to take advantage of His Majesty?"

Xichun laughed, "We are not taking advantage of His Majesty, we are helping His Majesty share his worries!"

Yingchun put away the picture and let Lichun take it down, "Slick tongue."

Xichun put her hands on her hips triumphantly, "Now that His Majesty still feels guilty towards me, I need to do more things."

Yingchun fixedly looked at her when she heard the words, and sighed when she felt uncomfortable looking at Xichun, "Sister Lin is right, you should be a part of the bodhisattvas in this world."

After talking about it, Yingchun became angry again, "I don't know whether to say you are big-hearted or heartless!"

Xichun smiled, "I just think that it's a day to be happy, and it's also a day to be unhappy. Now the matter is a foregone conclusion. Instead of complaining, it's better to try my best to get the best benefit for myself."

Besides, who is she going to blame?How to retaliate?Princess Nan'an?She lives in the Buddhist hall now, and it is impossible for her to go to Nan'an Palace to beat her and scold her. Now she doesn't want to see Jinyue, let alone Jinhan.Blaming Emperor Jingchang for bestowing the marriage?She really complained about this, and thought about how to get revenge, but unfortunately after thinking about it for so long, she finally found out that it was all fantasy.

After all, she was too weak.

Yingchun snorted, "Fortunately, you're not so stupid."

"Uncle Jing submitted a note, saying that he wanted to ask you to continue living in Jia's house after marriage, but His Majesty did not agree."

"I guessed it. There is no princess in the royal family who gets married and continues to live in the palace. How can I do that?"

"However, Your Majesty said that you can build a princess mansion."

Xichun rubbed her chin, "It seems that His Majesty is a little soft-hearted this time, and has repeatedly backed down. Well, I can ask for more benefits."

Yingchun slammed her hand down, "Where did you learn these movements? Like those little bastards, why don't you put your hands down?"

Xichun smiled and rushed forward, "I'm just a gangster, coveting the beauty of my second sister! Little beauty, did you agree with your husband's family? How about following me?"

Yingchun smiled and hit her, "You're going to die! Get up quickly!"

Xichun shook her head, "I'm sorry, I want to take such a good second sister home and hide it, so as not to give it to my second brother-in-law."

Yingchun blushed when she heard the words.Jia Amnesty was frightened by these rumors, and he was not so picky anymore. A few days ago, he found a suitable person to marry Yingchun.

Xichun got up from Yingchun when she had had enough trouble, and the two of them arranged their clothes and jewelry before Yingchun said, "It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. Would you like to come back? Sister Lin still misses you."

Xichun smiled, "Of course I will go back, but there doesn't seem to be much to do in Beijing, right? The nearby mountains are probably crowded with people."

Yingchun said: "There is a new place to go this year. Your Majesty ordered that the area of ​​Jinlian Lake be released. There will be a lantern festival on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and ordinary people can go in and play."

The two were talking, when Yindie came in with a look of embarrassment on her face and said: "Princess, that man refused to leave, and now he fainted at the gate."
