[Red House] World Transformation Project

Ruan Qing was holding Xichun in her arms to tell a story. Just as she was talking about Snow White falling into a coma after eating a poisoned apple, she felt a ding from the system space.

She frowned slightly, and asked curiously in her heart: "Sister Cha, is Jia Zhen dead?"

Wu Ming replied: "It's useless. I'm in a state of severe hemiplegia now. If it lasts longer, I should be in a vegetable state."

Ruan Qing let out a groan, and said, "I'm really in a hurry to die, God can't save me, Jia Rong can still be happy for a while."

Wu Ming didn't think so, and said: "It's good to die early, but it's a troubled time. It's not good for Sister Lizi to abolish the brothel according to the original plan."

Ruan Qing paused and fell silent.

Although Jia Rong's life is worthless, the tens of thousands of oppressed girls in the brothel are much more important. They planned to spread the story to everyone, but Wu Ming just retired bravely, so that he could retire from Ming Dynasty to Beijing. Secretly, he used fishing law enforcement to catch all the black hands who attacked the Rongguo Mansion. At the same time, Li Zhi also had an excuse to abolish the brothel and prohibit the sex trade. The thing that killed three birds with one stone failed because Jia Rong couldn't hold back.

Ruan Qing pressed the center of her eyebrows, looked at Xichun who had fallen asleep because of her chanting and storytelling, and quietly gestured to the servants to carry her into the inner room to put her down. The child was sleeping so fast that she might wake up halfway.

Xichun's nanny blessed Fushen, stepped forward to take Xichun, hugged her carefully and left, Ruan Qing sent Xichun away, feeling even more disturbed, casually poured a cup of tea, and let out a long sigh of relief.

She said in a deep voice in her heart: "It is true that there are no officials in the capital who have special hobbies but dare not vent to their wives and concubines. At that time, I will find a way to find them out and charge them with a crime."

In fact, she doesn't want to use this method unless it is necessary, because the abolition of brothels is not a trivial matter, and there is a market for demand. How much crime does a person have to commit in order for those in power to directly abolish the business industry that has existed since ancient times?It's not that easy, the shot must hurt the innocent.

But...she thought with a headache, isn't the abducted girl innocent?Since ancient times, reforms will inevitably bleed, and being too indecisive is not a good thing.

It took Wu Ming a long time to respond, knowing that she was in a complicated mood, so he changed the subject and said, "I heard that you plan to investigate the case with the eldest princess?"

Ruan Qing came back to her senses and said, "Yes, I have a special status after all, and if I want to enter the circle of officials, I have to start from a low level."

Wu Ming said: "Then you do your best. I know one thing that may be useful to you. That Rong Jue, Mu Wanling's fiancé, wanted to divorce not because Nan'an Palace was convicted. In fact, Nan'an Palace has not been convicted yet." At that time, he wanted to divorce."

After a pause, it seemed that he felt that he was talking too much nonsense, Wu Ming smiled helplessly, and said: "I always feel that you are still a child, and I want to tell you everything in detail--Listen up, that missing Huakui Lingyuan , is Rong Jue's sweetheart, she was pregnant when she disappeared, her girl's act of buying medicine everywhere is just a deception, you can see some of the medicinal materials in it, they are actually a pair of anti-fetal medicine, the oiran must be pregnant Well, if nothing else happens, it's probably at Mu Wanling's place, and Rong Jue probably knows about it."

Ruan Qing was shocked.

What a big melon!

She knows that girl Mu Wanling is very pampered by Princess Nan'an, but she is not too bad, even a little naive, compared to her mother, she is definitely kind, she is about the same age as Tanchun now The first sister, probably the girl who was almost sent to marry.

Because of this, Ruan Qing still paid attention to her, so she became more and more puzzled - it was absolutely impossible for Mu Wanling to do such a thing, if she had such scheming, she would not be so close to Mu Wanyun.

Wu Ming said: "The Rong family means that they will not withdraw the engagement. One is that Sister Lizi did not pursue Mu Zhen's children. They are eager to withdraw the engagement, and they seem too villainous. They might be suspected by the superiors if they hadn't done something wrong. Otherwise, why would it be so urgent? The second is the issue of child rearing. Among the girls of the same age, among the girls who have received higher education and have a suitable status and will not be misunderstood for forming a party for personal gain, only Yuanchun Anchun, but two top generals cannot marry. "

In any case, Mu Wanling was trained by the princess of the royal family, and her education and vision are definitely top-notch, and without the support of her natal family, even if Rong Jue went crazy and insisted on taking that oiran as a concubine, she could only swallow her anger.

Ruan Qing was dumbfounded, and said after a long time: "I think Sister Lizi still uses the Rong family, and I thought they were all good people with a clean family style..."

Wu Ming said with a smile: "Farewell, the king uses people, how can he only look at his preferences and character, a gentleman should use it, and a villain should also use it. The key is not who you are, but how you use it. ? My own children are reluctant."

Ruan Qing thought about it too, and couldn't help but sighed.

Marriage, what a terrible tomb.

"How's the war over there?" Ruan Qing frowned and asked, "Is it serious? Can you handle it?"

Wu Ming said: "Don't worry, although we were a little caught off guard, we are not unprepared. Compared with the two small countries, the most difficult thing is actually the former chaos/party and the internal thief Prince An."

Ruan Qing frowned tightly, and said irritably, "It really has something to do with Sheng Minghe."

Wu Ming said: "It's annoying, but it's worth it. Now we have [-] ways to make Prince An's death not to be suspected, but then? Then his people are lurking and hiding in the dark. Not sure, after we are all gone in a hundred years, let those cancers come to harm the country?"

Ruan Qing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "I can control Sheng Minghe."

At this time, Li Zhi suddenly interrupted and said, "Don't, things are still under our control now, don't worry, I have been observing for so many years, and I feel that both the eldest princess and the prince's daughter have the potential to be kings. They are used as sharpening stones. The prince’s two sons and daughters are both intelligent and worthy of great responsibilities, but I am a little selfish, thinking that either Sheng Qingzhu or Princess Zhaoyang, a man who has been emperor for thousands of years should be enough. Things have to be planned slowly, Sheng Minghe is the best tool, otherwise, when the empress dies in the future, the woman's status will definitely suffer more serious and cruel counterattacks, think about the Tang Dynasty, think about the Song Dynasty, let's come here , not to make things worse."

She proudly said: "I want most of the courtiers to be women, and women are common in the society. Even if a man becomes emperor again, so what? Can the emperor kill hundreds of thousands of female generals? Can you kill the female gentleman who is full of peaches and plums? Or can you kill the female prime minister who is inside and outside the court?"

Ruan Qing paused, then sighed, "Yes."

It is nonsense to say that everyone is equal when the productivity is not enough, but learning to use all the conditions around is also the basic quality of a tasker. There is no way to make everyone equal in modern society so quickly. Why should everyone become feudal together and use power to overwhelm power? It's the most suitable.

After initially reaching a consensus, Ruan Qing felt a lot more at ease, thinking about how to pass the news she got from Wu Ming to Sheng Qingzhu, and then she got a piece of news from Yuan Chun that people didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Zhang stayed in Ningguo Mansion to manage the servants with Youshi, while Yuanchun and Anchun took over Rongguo Mansion. Although so many things happened in the New Year, it was somewhat unlucky, but anyway, the head of the family went out to fight, so it didn't matter whether it was bad luck or not. However, the New Year in Rongguo Mansion is still going on as usual.

Her husband had just left for an expedition, and her grandchildren were both sick and injured. Mother Jia was not in the mood to play around, and just handed out rewards as usual. Ruan Qing accompanied Yuan Chun to finish the New Year's process. Although they all allowed the servants to celebrate by themselves, after all The master is not in the mood, who dares to be unscrupulous, so that this year is quite deserted.

Ruan Qing didn't care about these nonsense, just after New Year's Eve, she knocked on Yuan Chun's concierge and asked her how the eldest princess's case was going.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she spoke, Yuan Chun showed a strange look on her face. She sighed and waved her hands to make the servants back down, and then said softly: "The case has been closed."

Ruan Qing froze for a moment for such a big murder case, then thought of what Wu Ming said, frowned tightly, and asked her, "Is it related to Nan'an... and the Mu family?"

The Mu family is now a commoner's family, and their status is very subtle. If you say it is a good citizen, if Mu Zhen was convicted, you might say he is a criminal minister of the common people. Li Zhi only cut off the title of Nan'an Palace, and the name of rebellion followed. Just like playing, people can't tell what the ninety-five supreme is thinking in his heart.

Ruan Qing knew it, but she couldn't know what others thought.

Yuan Chun smiled wryly, and sighed: "This is a farce. Mr. Rong Jue wanted to divorce the engagement. Not long ago, he sneaked out of the city and was suppressed by Mrs. Rong and came back. The Rong family also sent someone to the Mu family to make an apology. I thought this matter was over, but who knows that Wanling is going to retire and follow the eldest princess to become a lady."

She pressed the center of her brows, and said in a low voice: "This matter is complicated. I don't know why it happened later. Mr. Rong Jue let go of wanting to marry Mu Wanyun again. Now the Mu family has completely turned upside down. The eldest princess was disturbed because of Lingyuan." Come in, it's not easy to let go now."

Ruan Qing was greatly shocked: "Then what should we do now?"

Yuan Chun said: "Wanling agreed, but she was crying sadly, saying that she wanted to break up with her sister. I just got the letter, and I want to go and see it this afternoon."

Ruan Qing paused for a moment and said, "Take me with you."

She thinks this is weird, doesn't Rong Jue like Ling Yuan?Why did you get involved with Mu Wanyun again?

Yuan Chun knew about her deal with the eldest princess and did not refuse.

In the afternoon, the two went out together. Ruan Qing opened the curtain to see, and found that the atmosphere of the New Year hadn't been reduced by half because of the war, and those who were affected were only those in the situation.

She sighed and turned her head away.

They didn't go to Mu's house, but met in a courtyard of the eldest princess. Sheng Qingzhu welcomed them in with an ugly face, and raised his chin to let them see. Ruan Qing looked over kindly and then froze.

At this time, the two sisters who were originally close were kneeling on the ground and weeping silently, while the other broke down and went around frantically. Ruan Qing frowned and looked back at Sheng Qingzhu.

Sheng Qingzhu said softly: "...Now the matter has been found out, Lingyuan was locked up by Mu Wanyun, and she is nowhere to be seen now, she told Rong Jue that she can accommodate Lingyuan and treat Lingyuan's child as a child. If it's her own, the premise is that Rong Jue is willing to marry her, give her the dignity and respect of a regular wife, and..."

She paused, her face was a little ugly: "A child who is the heir of the family property."

Ruan Qing: "..."

Ruan Qing: "???"

so what? ? ?Rong Jue agreed?What kind of fairy operation is this? ? ?

Just as she was in shock, she suddenly heard Mu Wanling sharply say: "I tell you, it's still too late for you to turn around now, the eldest princess has promised me that you can give me the status of Ninth Grade Attendant, you are my sister, this status is a big deal, I don't want it Yes, I'll give it to you, you go and hand over Lingyuan, and break off the engagement, and don't marry him if I don't marry him, that's not a good match."

Mu Wanyun said softly: "Wanling, I said earlier that women should be proud of being gentle and virtuous. If you are like this, have you ever thought about Qing'er's reputation in the future?"

Mu Wanling broke down and screamed: "Don't mention Qinger to me!!! You still have the face to mention your sisters!!! Do you know that what you did is shameless!!! Shameless, especially shameless!"

Mu Wanyun sat up slightly, her eyes were still red, but her expression was a little more dignified and noble.Mu Wanyun looked straight at her, and said stubbornly: "But I won the bet, didn't I? Sister, if you lose, he will only be mine in the end."

"I'm doing it for your own good. Do you think you can get any good results by marrying in? Why be a house dog when you can be a free man!" Mu Wanling sneered: "You really don't know what it means!"

She wiped her face severely, gave up communicating with Mu Wanyun, turned her head and ran out.

After watching the farce in silence, Ruan Qing sighed, stepped forward, and said softly, "Master Zhuxi."

Mu Wanyun looked up at her coldly, and said, "I'm no longer a county lord."

Ruan Qing said: "You can be. The former King of Nan'an used his great efforts to obtain the position of county head. He can change the title for you. Why can't you change it for yourself?"

A bit of doubt flashed in Mu Wanyun's eyes, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

Ruan Qing looked back at Sheng Qingzhu, and asked, "Excuse me for taking the liberty, may I ask if there is any extra space for Your Highness?"

Sheng Qingzhu was stunned, and said: "Yes, there is, as long as Madam asks, I will naturally give it."

Ruan Qing felt relieved, and turned around and said, "Your Highness, there is still an official position here, and there is still an opportunity to make contributions. Why don't you try it? Isn't it more reassuring to rely on yourself than relying on a man? Your own things, as long as you don't mess around , you won’t throw it away, but what your father gave you, if he made a mistake, he has to take it back.”

Mu Wanyun seemed a little moved, kneeling on the ground and thinking silently.

Ruan Qing felt a bit of anticipation in her heart, wanted to ask her if she would like to, but was afraid of disturbing her train of thought, so she forcibly held back her silence.

Unfortunately, Mu Wanyun still disappointed her.

This noble and graceful lady just lowered her head and thought for a few moments, then she raised her head and said calmly: "It's not easy for a woman to make achievements. If she is not careful, she will be infamous for thousands of years. At least now I won, and I was more noble than me in the past." My younger sister who is more proud than me, I got Rong Jue, I got the status of Mrs. Rong's young lady, and my future is much better than her. "

Ruan Qing only felt a fire in her heart rushing straight to her brain, she wanted to get mad, she wanted to scold people, she wanted to turn around and leave, but all kinds of thoughts were fleeting, and she still couldn't get angry with this somewhat pathetic girl, There was a long silence before she spoke lightly: "The county lord doesn't have to regard gaining or losing a man as winning or losing. In any case, I don't think that a woman's success depends on snatching a man from someone. Men. It is the most ridiculous to judge a woman's "win or lose" by getting a man. What is losing and what is winning? Is winning a man's affection, or winning the title of a regular wife? A man will Will he become famous because he won the heart of a certain woman? Will the loyal ministers of Mingjun who rule the country and Qijia be better than Yao and Shun because they got a woman? Will you grab garbage from beggars to eat?"

Mu Wanyun said in a daze: "How can you say that Mr. Rong is... No, how can a man be like a woman!"

Ruan Qing laughed angrily: "Why can't we compare? They are all human beings. Can a man go to heaven with more arms or more pairs of wings? Will the achievements of Empress Wu of Lu disappear because he is a woman? Will he lose money because he is a man?" Earn an extra penny?"

For various reasons, she has always had a good impression of Zhuxi County Lord, but it was because Princess Nan'an was very defensive towards Mu Wanling, but she never expected that the final result would be like this.

Mu Wanyun is a good wife and mother that is common in feudal society, but it is not very common. She does not seek fame and fortune, otherwise she would not have thought of marrying An Zeming in the first place. She just hopes to marry a good man, take care of her husband and teach her children , spend the rest of my life in a mediocre way.

Rong Jue may be the best candidate she can catch. He has a sweetheart, no matter how long he can love, at least there will not be too many concubines in the short term, and there will not be too many fights. She has enough time to stand firm Well, the Rong family's family style is upright, it is impossible for a person of Lingyuan's status to raise children, so the more Lingyuan gives birth, the better, anyway, in the end, it is basically the wife of the wife.

Concubine An was criticized for her virginity because of her bad family background. After she gave birth to her daughter, she specially asked Mu Zhen to invite a nanny from the palace to teach her how to behave. Poor can't afford poor education, but reality gave her a slap in the face. Mu Wanyun is noble and generous, without a bit of dust and slavishness, but her thinking has long been rigid, and there is no other way out in her mind except to marry a good man. She is a complete "female moral model".

Ruan Qing felt both sad and sad.It's not that she didn't give Zhuxi county master another way out, to be an official with the eldest princess Yuanchun, or go to the academy to be a teacher. When the time comes, she will make meritorious service. Li Zhi will be awarded the title of princess and a princess's mansion, why don't you worry? Can't live the rest of your life peacefully and happily?

Do you have to go to those men's houses and compete with countless women for a husband?

Mu Wanyun didn't speak, Ruan Qing wanted to persuade him again, but she didn't know how to say it. After thinking about it, she said, "But if you're like this, aren't you afraid that Rong Jue will neglect you in the future? If you threaten him with his sweetheart, you're not afraid... Will I disrespect you in the future?"

Mu Wanyun may have sensed her concern, so she smiled and said lightly, "Thank you, Mrs. Jia Er, for your concern. It's all right. The Rong family pays attention to many children and blessings. I'm weak and can't have so many children. Concubine A little more is fine, and you can gain a good reputation. As for Mr. Rong... After all, he is a man, and it's not like he doesn't have a room. How long can he love a woman? My mother and concubine were born as princes and side concubines. Which woman would not envy her? She was favored, but in the end, she was pinched in the hands of the princess, rubbed round and flattened? As long as I coax him, and when his anger subsides, and he gets the Lingyuan again, it will be stale, and I will feel that everything I do is because of him Why not? Besides, I will deal with my sister-in-law and mother-in-law in the back house in the future. A man's heart is not important. As long as I have a son, he can't shake me no matter what. After all, I will stay in the back house in the future, so it doesn't matter how the man is."

Ruan Qing held her breath in her heart, feeling that she was hateful and justified, but at the same time couldn't help feeling that she was pathetic...why bother?

In modern times, Mu Wanyun is probably the kind of high-achieving student who works hard all the way to the top, but here, he can only be a tool.

Ruan Qing gave up, lowered her eyes and said indifferently: "Then bless the county magistrate, I hope you can live happily in the future... you won't regret it."

Mu Wanyun nodded and said, "Thank you."

Sheng Qingzhu has never liked this kind of person. He only took a cold look and then turned around and asked Ruan Qing and Yuan Chun to close the case together. Yuan Chun has never liked to interfere in other people's private affairs, so he turned his head and followed as if he didn't hear what he just said. Ruan Qing Not to mention.

It's just a personal choice.

The three of them left quickly, leaving only Mu Wanyun holding her head stubbornly in the yard.

She kept telling herself, I was right, I was right, Ruan Qing and Mu Wanling were wrong, Ruan Qing had already gained a firm foothold in Jia's family, with three biological children, her aunt was so suppressed that she dared not speak out, even two The concubine also only recognizes her as one, and without a concubine, she will not be the master of the house in the future?Ruan Qing has confidence, but Mu Wanyun doesn't. She is a concubine, she has never been liked, and she is getting older, so she has no other choice.

What's more, which man doesn't take a concubine, and the people's family has a few catties of rice and taels of silver and they want to change to a woman to come back. No matter how crazy the woman is, she will not be eligible to be buried with her husband in the genealogy after a hundred years, so she will be the only wife!

Mu Wanling's troubled Rong family doesn't look good, so should it be?Crazy, crazy, jealous and unworthy, how can she look like a woman!I'm afraid that she will become the laughing stock of the entire capital in the future. She has lost her title and her family is in an embarrassing situation. With her like this, which man would dare to marry her in the future?

Mu Wanyun comforted herself like this, and finally calmed down, but for some reason, the tears kept falling down.
