The couple who are concerned about the country and the people seem to be burdened with a heavy burden in their hearts, but they can't show it in their daily lives, and they have to put on a happy look and go about their lives as usual.

Every day when Liang Peng goes out, he has to go to the foreigner priest and talk nonsense with him.Then every now and then, people have to go to the palace to go to the Supreme Emperor to talk about the new things they heard to make the old man happy.

In fact, Emperor Kangxi could have summoned the foreigner himself, and in fact he had summoned him.However, when the foreigner met the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he naturally spoke and acted differently from how he got along with friends in private.

And many things were added by Liang Peng himself, even if you ask the priest, he may not be able to tell.

The couple said they wanted to delay the plan to get the loom, but they couldn't stop doing it at all.

After all, it was Liang Peng who brought this matter up on the initiative of the Supreme Emperor, and it seemed that Emperor Kangxi was still thinking of fighting with his son Yongzheng.

If he was perfunctory in front of Mr. Kangxi, he would be noticed by others.Haha, then his little life for nothing is basically over.

So he pretended to learn some relevant knowledge from the priest, and then studied the news and knowledge he learned from foreigners with Mr. Kangxi again.

Fortunately, the priest was not an engineer or mechanical expert, and he didn't know much about these machines.

And at this time, it is still several decades away from the invention of the shuttle machine and the Jenny loom.So in terms of rushing the loom, the priest really can't help much.

But it didn't matter that he couldn't help in improving the machinery, he could always help in other ways.

Through the mouth of the priest, Liang Peng emphatically introduced the powerful countries in Europe and how strong their military power is.

Then, referring to the map, they emphatically exaggerated their sailing and sea combat capabilities.There are also all aspects of development in the end how fast.

At the same time, he told Emperor Kangxi about the colonial rule of those people in Africa, the slave trade, and the plundering of local resources and how to sell them to make money.

I just hope that this person who has been emperor for decades can somehow see the crisis in it.

There is nothing to hide about this matter, and Emperor Yongzheng naturally paid attention to it.

Originally, he was curious when he saw that his Ji Kanghou would go into the palace to see his Huang Ama every so often.

Although the reason is almost known through the sticky rod, but the emperor, there are always various speculations and worries.

Therefore, he did not let go of his attention here.Anyway, the words that Liang Peng said almost fell into Yongzheng's ears.

This is also in the hands of Liang Peng, who is afraid that Kangxi will be old and not have such great ambitions, and only blindly seek stability and comfort.

But Yongzheng is different. He is considered to be in the right age of life, and he has had a good start in the past few years when he became emperor. He should have more ambitions.

Looking at Emperor Kangxi's more dignified expression day by day, Liang Peng felt that it was too much to go too far, so he began to focus on talking about the various customs and customs of those countries.

According to his plan, his silent efforts to moisten things influenced the two emperors.And Xu Li was not idle at home.

Now the whole capital knows that Ji Kanghou is capable.As soon as he became an official, he gained the reliance of today's Long Live Lord, and now it seems that even the old man, the Supreme Emperor, values ​​him very much.

In this way, there will naturally be more people who come to get closer.

There is an endless stream of direct visits every day.Not only Master Shi Hou, Shi Nai, and Shi Ding had to entertain guests every day, even Xu Li was not free here.

Not to mention the baskets of posts, the invitations are endless.Either invite her to listen to an opera, or invite her to enjoy flowers.All kinds of social gatherings made Xu Li extremely troubled.

Especially those old honorable families, who came up with an attitude that we are all our own, which made it difficult for Xu Li to refuse.

Since you can't refuse, you can only bite the bullet and go out to socialize.

Liang Peng saw that his wife was frowning because of the large pile of invitations, so he gave her a good idea.

Tell her to take those posts to Mrs. Shi Hou and the wives of Shi Ding and Shi Nai, and ask them to help share the burden.A few people divide the posts a little bit, and it is easy for everyone to split up and act.

The old lady of the Shi family was very happy that the eldest couple was willing to pull out the two brothers.Yin said: "You three sisters-in-laws can discuss it on your own, and I will not join in the fun."

The three of them coaxed the old lady to have fun for a while before sitting together to share the posts.Originally, Xu Li was worried that the two younger siblings would dislike the fact that the post was for her, so she was not happy about it.

As a result, the three of them sat down and talked, and Xu Li realized that there was no such problem at all, and it was entirely her own worries.

Of course, the biggest reason is that the post was sent to the Bowling Hou's Mansion, and they didn't intend to only give it to the big house.

The reason why the post was in her hands was because the historians did not separate the family even though they divided the property.And as the eldest daughter-in-law, she naturally has to come forward to deal with these trivial matters.

Now asking the two younger siblings to help them socialize and socialize, they are quite happy in their hearts.

Back in her yard, Xu Li looked at the number of posts that were reduced by more than half, and immediately felt that the pressure on her body was relieved a lot.

Holding the post in her hand, she rummaged through it, and found the post about General Wei's birthday banquet that she left on purpose.This is probably the future in-laws, thinking that when the time comes, the two of them will go to see it together, and it will be considered as an advance inspection of the family's situation.

On the day when Wei's family had a banquet, the husband and wife dressed up and set off for Wei's house in a carriage.

As a big celebrity in front of the two saints, Liang Peng, Ji Kanghou, was an absolute honored guest.As his wife, Xu Li naturally received a warm reception.

Xu Li entered the backyard of Wei's house, followed General Wei's eldest daughter-in-law to Mrs. Wei's place to say hello, and then followed all the female relatives to the back garden where they specially entertained their guests.

Her position was quite near the front, and beside her was the eldest wife of Duke Li's family.The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then began to sit there and listen to the play quietly.

Xu Li really didn't understand this stuff, so she just thought about it in her mind, why every time this kind of social occasion, the host would either prepare songs, dances and music, or sing and juggle.I'm afraid it's just to make some noise so that everyone won't be so embarrassed by the silence.

Otherwise, all those people would sit there, what else could they say besides the little politeness going back and forth?

If you want to say that you have acquaintances, you can sit together and chat.But on this occasion, it's not appropriate to talk about anything.

If you say something, in case someone overhears a half sentence again, it will be right and wrong at that time.

And if you are really familiar with people who are close to you, then it is not impossible to visit each other and chat with each other.There is no need to say something private when there are many people like this.

Since you can't talk privately, you can't just gossip about anyone.Then the only thing left is to be polite to each other, coming and going is the same, and the person who talks is not annoying and the person who listens is annoying.

Look how good it is, everyone is watching the show there.It doesn't matter whether these people understand it or not, Xu Li doesn't understand it at all anyway, but this doesn't prevent her from pretending to listen with gusto.

I was thinking about it, and stuffing some dried fruit preserves into my mouth.Xu Li suddenly noticed that everyone seemed to be in a commotion.

He raised his head and glanced around, but found nothing wrong.

She was thinking about what happened that she didn't know about, but Mrs. Liu, the eldest wife of Li Guogong, came up to her with a gossipy face and whispered, "Mrs. Xu probably doesn't know the two who just came in, right?" .”

Xu Li looked at this lady who just like herself didn't know what to say, and now she looked like I was gossiping and came to ask me, and suddenly became interested.After all, she has never experienced this kind of gossip with the ancients.

So Xu Li walked over with great interest, and said in a low voice, "I was not in Beijing with our master before, and I really don't know many people well."

Mrs. Liu became more interested when she saw that Xu Li was indeed on the road.Therefore, he got closer and said in a softer voice: "That is the wife of the third master of the Tong family, and his new concubine."

When she said this abruptly, Xu Li really didn't realize which Tong family she was talking about.I was still thinking that the family was too unruly, how could they bring a concubine out on such an occasion.

Seeing Xu Li's expression, Mrs. Liu knew that she hadn't reacted yet.So he went on to say: "The third grandma of the Tong family is also suffering, but that concubine is snatched from his father-in-law by Tong Sanye!

And that little concubine named Si'er is also really amazing.

It's only been a few days since I entered Sanye Tong's backyard, and I've managed to control that man..."

Well, when she mentioned that she snatched it from her father-in-law, she called it Si'er, what else Xu Li didn't know.

This must be the famous Li Si'er, and the poor wife who was tortured to death by the concubine!

Xu Li raised her eyes to look at those two people. At first glance, she really couldn't tell who was the original partner and who was the concubine.

They both wear heavy makeup, so it's really hard to tell if they are beautiful or ugly, and the two of them are both rich and noble dressed in similar clothes.But Xu Li guessed that the one who was dressed brighter and more expensive was probably Si'er.

The reason for such a guess is entirely because of the arrogance on her face and the blankness on the face of the woman next to her.Comparing the two of them like this, what else can't be recognized.

When Xu Li was thinking about how this little concubine was rumored in later generations, Mrs. Liu next to her spoke again.

"Look at the concubine in his family compared to that decent woman, no matter what she wears on her head or on her body, they are all worse than nothing.

There is also her concubine who blatantly sits on top of the main wife, but there are really no rules! "

As if remembering something, Mrs. Liu's voice stopped abruptly.

Of course Xu Li knew what she was jealous of. After all, the Tong family was the mother family of Mr. Kangxi, and Yongzheng's adoptive mother, Tong Jia, was the elder sister of Mr. Tong.Emperor Yongzheng once called Uncle Longkodo.

So if Mrs. Liu said that their family had no rules, it was really a taboo.If anyone hears this and spreads it, it will be a disaster.

In order to comfort Mrs. Liu, Xu Li immediately agreed with her and said: "If this man is blinded by anyone, the unlucky ones are us regular wives."

Then he talked about his own men, and said that there were a few troublesome concubines in the family when they first got married.Anyway, I didn't say a word about Tong's family's rules and regulations.

Mrs. Liu, who realized that she had slipped her words, naturally understood her intentions.Knowing that Mrs. Shi Jia was pretending not to hear, the matter would be fooled, so a touch of gratitude rose in her heart.

Then he also talked about some annoying things about the concubine in the family.But in the end, we were careful. In order to avoid talking too much, the two of them didn't say any more and started watching the play separately.

However, the relationship between the two of them became closer unconsciously.

Xu Li was still sitting there, pretending to listen to the play.In fact, she was communicating with the system in her mind, and she asked the system to provide some elixirs for healing people, and wanted to give that Li Si'er a drink.

The system told her that this month's elixir had already been used, and there was no extra portion for her to use.

But Xu Li didn't give up, she kept pleading with the system, saying how domineering and vicious that little concubine was.

Said what she would do to the wife of the original wife in the future, and there were even rumors that she was "to the original wife like a pig", and finally tortured people to death.

"Look at Longkodo's original wife sitting there with a blank expression on her face. Maybe she has already started to suffer at home. Now that she brings her concubine out to socialize, she is probably forced to do so.

Such a poor person, shouldn't we help?

Besides, I can overdraft the next month's share.

And punishing the concubine who tortured a life to death, we can count as accumulating a merit. "

The system thought for a while before asking, "Then what kind of elixir do you want?"

When it asked, Xu Li remembered that all the pills given by the system were for curing diseases and saving lives.Most of them make people more beautiful and healthier.

So Xu Li asked the system, "Is there anyone in your 'Linhe Valley' who has developed the kind of elixir that can make people smell bad, have sores all over their faces, or make people fat, all of a sudden?" Gained hundreds of catties."

After expressing all my requests, the system did not reply for a long time.When she was wondering if she was going too far, the system suddenly spoke.

"There are no pills that have so many effects at the same time as you said, but there are indeed many that can achieve a single effect. There is a kind of pill that can make people full of stench, and there is another kind of pill that can make people full of sores.

And there are pills that make people fat, but the effect is not so immediate.

So you can only choose one of these effects. "

Treating this kind of domineering and vicious little three and little four, I feel that I can't get over my hatred no matter what.Since he wanted to deal with her, he must not take it lightly.

Thinking of this, Xu Li unconsciously glanced over there again.

When she saw that the little concubine had blatantly ordered his wife to bring her something.Xu Li decided that a single punishment would be too cheap for her, and a combined effect would be more enjoyable.

For example, it would be nice to let her have sores all over her body, and at the same time become a big fat person.For this reason, Xu Li continued to overdraw the share of the pills for the next two months.

After confirming that the system had given the concubine medicine, Xu Li couldn't help but glance over there.

Mrs. Liu next to her asked curiously, "Mrs. Shi, what are you looking at?"

I can't tell you anything, can I say that I'm waiting for that Si'er to make a fool of himself!

But Xu Li still wentssiped and said to her: "What else can I watch? I don't want to see what kind of fairy that arrogant little concubine looks like, so that he can fascinate a good man like that. "

Hearing that Mrs. Liu also watched it together, she commented with Xu Li and said, "It's just like that when I saw it, and I didn't see how beautiful it is.

Who knows if they have other means, or else they can make the man so bewildered. "

The two of them were talking lively here when they suddenly heard a scream over there.

The wives and grandmas here all looked over there, and saw that Li Sier's face was densely packed with big red bumps.Then I saw that her neck and hands were exposed to the outside, and abscesses kept coming out.

The whole hall suddenly became chaotic, especially the person next to Li Si'er hid far away.

Xu Li also pretended to be afraid, and followed everyone to hide in the distance.

But he was chatting with the system in his mind, "I didn't expect this medicine to take effect very quickly. I thought it would take ten and a half months to take effect little by little, just like the previous pills."

The system still had that mechanized voice, "The medicine that made her gain weight needs a process. It won't be as immediate as this one."

Xu Li gloated and asked, "How long will the effect of your medicine last? Don't just take it for three to five days, tell her to drink two doses of the medicine and she will be fine."

"How can it be possible to just take two medicines casually? This is the elixir produced by our Linhe Valley. If there is no antidote from us, she will not be cured no matter how many medicines she takes. And if the medicine is used indiscriminately, it will only aggravate the condition."

Xu Li was intrigued by these words, so she continued to ask: "Are you saying that the imperial physician here must not be able to cure her abscesses? That would be great.

Is it the same for the medicine that made her gain weight, no matter how much she loses weight, she can't lose it? "

"That's natural. After taking our elixir, even if she just drinks cold water every day, she can guarantee that she will gain a catty."

This is the legend that drinking cold water will make you fat.That would be a terrible thing, but if that Li Si'er is so happy.

But Xu Li still asked curiously, how much weight would she gain in a day if she ate normally three meals a day.

The system talked about it for a long time, and finally Xu Li summed it up.

It roughly means that if she eats a bowl of whole grains, she will gain two catties of meat.If you eat some vegetables and fruits, you will also gain two catties of meat.If anyone gets a little bit of meat, then at least five catties is the starting point.

And this is still the amount of a meal, or the amount of a normal woman's meal.

Xu Li counted on her fingers, if this is three meals a day.According to such a fat method, no matter what, I have to gain ten or twenty catties a day.

This result is quite satisfactory, and the people around there have dispersed, leaving only Li Si'er standing and screaming.

Looking at her like that, she seemed to be very itchy, as if she wanted to scratch but dared not.

Everyone in the lobby tried to hide as far away as possible, talking non-stop.

"I don't know what's wrong with this, will it be passed on to others?"

"Isn't it? If you come out to celebrate your birthday properly, it won't be worth it if you contract some strange disease for no reason."

……

Seeing this mess, Xu Li felt a little regretful.General Wei's good birthday banquet was completely messed up.

At this time, the Wei family also reacted.

Mrs. Wei came forward in person and arranged for her mother-in-law to take Tong's wife and aunt to the guest house.

Then I asked someone to invite the imperial physician with the post, and specifically ordered, "Call a few more imperial physicians, as well as the old doctor on the street. Let everyone see it, so that we can rest assured."

After everything was arranged, someone was called to inform Sanye Tong who was having a drink in the outer courtyard.

Xu Li was guilty of guessing the area of ​​shadow in the Wei family's heart, and at the same time admired Mrs. Wei's ability to hold steady at critical moments.If it was her own, she would hardly dare to think about it.

Mrs. Wei simply asked someone to remove that table, and the guests at the table made other arrangements.Then I took the time to appease everyone, saying that I must call the imperial doctor to find out what's going on.

The female family members in the inner courtyard finally calmed down, and the Wei family finally breathed a sigh of relief.Unexpectedly, there was another commotion outside.

You don't need to guess, it must be that Tong Sanye, Long Keduo, who caused the trouble.

As soon as this master heard that his beloved concubine had suddenly developed a strange illness and had sores all over his body, he immediately yelled.At one time, he said that someone had harmed his concubine, and at another time, he clamored to go to the palace to find the imperial physician.

With such a big movement by him, the men outside also became chaotic.They all asked around to see what happened.

After Liang Peng figured out what was going on here, he quickly confirmed with the system, and found that it was indeed his wife who did it to the concubine.Then he murmured to himself, this is indeed something his wife can do.

Then he looked at the completely messed up birthday banquet, and silently sympathized with General Wei for a second.I feel that my wife can't hold back, even if I wait for everyone to leave before doing it, I feel embarrassed now.

After finally waiting for the imperial doctor to come, although the cause of the disease could not be found out, they can be sure that the disease will not be transmitted to others.

Now everyone can be regarded as relieved.

When the whole family is finally sent away, the rest of them will explode.

What those men outside said, Xu Li didn't know.Anyway, she knew that the female relatives inside had everything to say.

But in the end, she concluded that most people were still willing to believe that the little concubine had done too much, and then suffered retribution.

Otherwise, if everyone eats and drinks the same thing, how come she suddenly became like that.

It's just that when Xu Li heard someone speculate, "That Li Si'er was probably drugged by Longkoduo's wife, but the incident suddenly broke out, I'm afraid she will have to be angry when she returns", she regretted it in her heart.
