[Red Chamber] Buddhist concubine

Zhou Yao originally thought that this matter had already come to light, and there would be a result soon, but who knew there would be a follow-up——

Because Rufei's suspicion came true, the emperor was very worried that his other children would not be replaced.It would be better if Rufei's changed child was also his own, but he was very worried that what he raised was someone else's.

So the emperor stepped up his investigation again.

Then, another case of swapping was discovered.

But this incident did not happen to the emperor, but in the harem of the first emperor——

The first emperor had a favorite concubine who was unable to conceive for a long time, so he secretly asked the maid to serve in bed, and successfully conceived, and finally removed the maid and kept the child, using the child as his own son.

That son almost ascended to the throne.

The emperor's first reaction after hearing the news was that fortunately he had already killed that brother, otherwise if he had been a thief for decades, he would have hanged himself.

But after all, this happened to his political opponents, and the emperor didn't take it too seriously.

What he cared more about was how to deal with his daughter, Princess Ten, whom he had loved for more than ten years.

Since knowing the truth, Concubine Ru's attitude towards the tenth princess has changed drastically. Every time she meets her, she looks at her with hatred and beats or scolds her. She is completely unable to coexist peacefully with her.

It is obviously not feasible to let the tenth princess be the daughter of the concubine Ru.

After all, there is still a human life between mother and daughter.

But it is not suitable to be raised by other concubines. Firstly, the tenth princess is too old, and she will be out of the cabinet in two years. The relationship between the concubines was very tense, and even the relationship between the ten princesses and those concubines was also tense.

In the end, the emperor sent the man directly into the queen mother's palace.

It's only been two years, and when the time is up, you can marry the person directly, there is no need to look at each other and hate each other.

After this matter is resolved, the emperor will have time to focus on other——

For example, Zhuang Zhou's dream of the Red Chamber is the author of the story "Hou Men Changing Girls".

It was very easy for the emperor to investigate a person, so it didn't take long for the relevant information of the author of Zhuang Zhou's Dream of the Red Chamber to be placed on his desk.

"Meng Honglou is a woman? She still lives in Lao Wu's house?" The emperor frowned, "Is Lao Wu a treasure in the golden house?"

Because of his health, Tu Min never wanted to get married. He felt that it would only delay other people's happiness.

But the emperor wanted him to marry, and he couldn't refuse.So not long after he became an adult, the emperor gave him a marriage.

Everyone thought that due to Tu Min's physical condition, he would definitely leave earlier than the other party.But what I didn't expect was that the other party would have dystocia during childbirth, leaving a son and then passing away.

And since then, Tu Min has rejected the emperor's second marriage proposal on the grounds that he is infatuated with his first wife and has no regrets.

The emperor thought that Tu Min also had a wife, so he didn't force him to marry a wife like last time.

But after these years, he and Tu Min's mother and concubine discovered that although Tu Min had been a complete dandy these years and always made troubles outside, when he returned home, he acted like an ascetic. Not a single woman.

Over the years, Tu Min's mother and concubine have complained to him countless times,

But what can he do?Tu Min himself was not willing to cooperate, even if he stuffed a group of women in Tu Min's house, it would still be useless if Tu Min didn't touch him.

But this woman named Zhou Yao...

The emperor's eyes flickered, and he simply decreed that Zhou Yao should be referred to Tu Min as a side concubine.

This not only solved Tu Min’s personal problems, but also repaid Zhou Yao’s kindness——

Based on Zhou Yao's previous experience as a concubine, the prince's side concubine has already recognized and elevated her status.

When the imperial decree came down, Zhou Yao was completely dumbfounded: "My lord, this is what you said, the emperor's reward and repayment to me? Are you cheating on me?"

Although Tu Min never thought that his father would give him a marriage, but hearing Zhou Yao's tone, does she still think that the status of the prince and side concubine is not high enough?

Tu Min's face darkened slightly.

Zhou Yao looked at him speechlessly: "No matter how high the status of the prince's side concubine is, she is just a concubine. If I was willing to be a concubine, I would not have left the Lin family in the first place. Lin Ruhai and I still have two daughters!"

Tu Min: "..."

It was the first time he was despised like this.

But Zhou Yao's words are indeed reasonable. If Zhou Yao was willing to accept her as a concubine, then it would be impossible for her to abandon her two daughters and leave the Lin family.

He said with some annoyance: "Father must have misunderstood our relationship."

Zhou Yao looked at Tu Min with dead eyes: "So why did you put us under house arrest in Xianwang Mansion? Really just to read novels?"

Given the current situation, he can no longer fool her with the reason to force Zhou Yao to write a novel, so he simply explained: "In a short while, the father may find a way to abolish the prince's edict, and before that, the prince may fight back After decades of management, the prince has a group of loyal followers. Among them, Ningrong and Rongfu have the highest status and power. However, Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, still holds the military power, so the prince No one can predict what will happen.”

"Such a major event has nothing to do with you, but the Lin family and the Jia family are related by marriage, and you have some connections with the Lin family, and you also gave birth to two daughters for the Lin family." Tu Min felt slightly uncomfortable, but quickly ignored it. In the past, "In order to prevent me from reading novels that don't appeal to me in the future, I will naturally protect you closely."

Zhou Yao: "..."

Forget it, anyway, the imperial decree has been issued, and she dare not resist the decree, so she can only accept her fate.

But Zhou Yao and Tu Min didn't have any feelings for each other, so she simply proposed three chapters of agreement: "I think with our relationship, even if the emperor points me out to you as a side concubine, there is no need to fake it. Anyway, you like me Novel, I can also use your identity to be protected, so that my identity as a woman will not have a bad influence on the pseudonym Menghonglou."

Tu Min looked at her, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Yes."

He doesn't know how long this body can last, there is absolutely no need to fake it for real, and if he leaves suddenly after cultivating his feelings at that time, it will be unfair to Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao said again: "I heard that you have a son?" After seeing Tu Min nodding, she continued, "I also have two daughters. I don't want to affect you and your son's father and son because of our sudden change of relationship. feelings, let alone affect the relationship between our mother and daughter, so the real relationship between us must not be hidden from each other's children."

The royal family's children are terribly precocious. Who knows if Tu Min's son, whom he has never met, will do something drastic after learning that he has become his father's side concubine?

In modern times, the first-born child who has no interest entanglement is still very hostile to the second child. If that child misunderstands the real relationship between her and Tu Min, and then worries that she will give birth to a son for Tu Min to rob him of his status, then it will be troublesome .

And she didn't want her daughter to misunderstand.

Tu Min was more satisfied with this one than the previous one, so he nodded: "I will talk to Tu Huai sometime."

Zhou Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "As for the third day..."

Tu Min looked at her.

"Would you like to bring up the third item?" Zhou Yao really couldn't think of anything else that the two of them needed to make an agreement on.

Tu Min turned to look at Zhou Yao, the corners of his mouth turned up a bit: "Are you sure you want me to mention it?"

Zhou Yao was a little puzzled: "I mentioned two, even if it is based on the principle of fairness, you should mention one, right?"

She really felt that it was no big deal to make Tu Min think about the third agreement, but just as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that this idle king seemed to be her fan, and he was still a little paranoid...

"On the third day, you must ensure that you update every day, and it is best to write two or three stories a day."

Zhou Yao: "..." Sure enough, there is still something wrong with this idle king.

Tu Min smiled at Zhou Yao and said, "Then the contract will take effect from today. Mr. Meng Honglou, "Hou Men Changing Girls" has been over for a while, shouldn't it be time for you to write a new story?"

Zhou Yao: "..."

#Excuse me, is it swollen that the author lives in the reader's house and is forced to write updates all day long? #

Zhou Yao was about to be pissed off by Tu Min's rascals, but she was the one who made Tu Min propose a third agreement. She asked Tu Min to change the agreement, and he simply said that there was only one request.

What can Zhou Yao do?

The only good thing is that Zhou Yao already has a rough idea of ​​the next story, and only needs to write the outline before he can start writing.

This story is completely different from the previous ones.The first three stories, no matter how twists and turns and bizarre the stories are, are fundamentally related to love.

But the fourth story that Zhou Yao is going to write has nothing to do with love.

The name of the story is "The Queen's Merchant". It tells the story of a family whose fathers were all royal merchants. Until his death, he had only one daughter.

After the father's death, all his father's concubines were dismissed, leaving only orphans and widows to depend on each other.

Because of the business for generations, the heroine's family is very rich.But when there is no man standing up for the door, the money not only failed to bring any benefits to the mother and daughter, but instead let the two of them cross the market like a child carrying gold bricks, causing countless covetousness and calculations.

In order to hold on to the family business, the heroine had no choice but to show her face in public. After suffering countless losses, she finally gained a firm foothold by relying on her experienced skills and her own ingenuity, and finally even won the title of imperial merchant for herself again. Became a well-known empress businessman.

The story is actually a very simple process of upgrading and slapping faces, without much deep meaning.

But Zhou Yao wants to use this story to make women of this era no longer willing to be trapped in the back house, and also wants to tell the people some food that exists in this era but has not been used by others, so that they will not be afraid of it. No matter how poor your clothes are, or how much you can eat.

The two most critical things are potatoes and sweet potatoes.

After Zhou Yao finished writing nearly one-third of the stories, as agreed before, she handed over these stories to Tu Min, making him the first reader of "The Queen's Merchant".

The story is very interesting, but for the first time, Tu Min's attention did not fall on the storyline of "The Queen's Merchant", but sensitively noticed the potatoes and sweet potatoes mentioned in this novel.

"Potatoes and sweet potatoes can really fill your stomach, and they are so productive?" Tu Min looked at the butler in surprise, "If these two things are really so good, why didn't anyone promote these two crops? A few years ago Natural disasters occur frequently, if there are these two crops, how can the imperial court suffer such a big loss?"

The butler was stunned: "It is true that potatoes are grown on the Zhuangzi, but isn't this kind of food a vegetable? Potatoes are imported products brought back from foreign countries by someone who went to sea in the previous dynasty. Because they taste good after cooking, they have always been regarded as It is difficult for ordinary people to get seeds for noble food. Even if a village like ours can grow potatoes, it is only to supply the needs of the family. The old slave remembers that only a very small piece of potatoes was planted in the village in the suburbs. No one pays attention to how the potatoes are produced."

Tu Min's eyes widened: "Even if you only plant a small piece, can't you estimate the yield per mu? Hurry up and ask the people in the Zhuangzi to weigh the potatoes and calculate the yield. If what Mr. Meng Honglou said is true, then this Potatoes are of great significance to the imperial court."

The butler is not a person who doesn't know the importance. After getting Tu Min's order, he immediately sent people to the suburbs to weigh the potatoes, and then estimated the potato production.

There is no technical content in this matter. You only need to divide the planting area by the yield, and then multiply it by one mu to calculate the yield per mu of potatoes.So it didn't take long for the butler to go back to Xian Wang's mansion out of breath, and wanted Xian Wang to report a very terrifying production in the eyes of today's people——

"My lord, I've already been calculated. The yield per mu of potatoes is, [-] catties."

Snapped--

Tu Min accidentally dropped the teacup on the ground.

However, he didn't notice such a small thing at all: "Is there really so many?"

The butler swallowed, "Really."

"Would you be full if you just eat potatoes?"

"can."

Tu Min only felt that his throat was dry, and it was very difficult to even say a word: "...Then can two kinds of potatoes really be grown a year?"

The butler licked his dry lips and nodded: "According to the farmer on the farm, it is indeed possible."

"...where are the sweet potatoes?"

"It's not much different from what was written in Mr. Meng Honglou's book." Compared with the trance on Tu Min's face, the butler's eyes were filled with pure joy and excitement, "Look, my lord, the potatoes written in Mr. Meng Honglou's book Since the sweet potato and sweet potato are real, can the so-called sweet potato flour and potato flour be produced through secondary processing?"

Tu Min turned his head to look at the butler, got up abruptly, and went straight to Zhou Yao's small courtyard.

He had to ask Zhou Yao if all the things written in her book were true!

If it is true, then her contribution is too great...

"Is it true?" Zhou Yao turned her head to look at Tu Min, and said with a smile, "You will know if you let someone try it? It won't waste your time."
