Shentai five years, in June.
There has been a lot of rain this year. When Tang Shishi set off from the capital in March, Jinling was misty and rainy. When they stumbled all the way to the north, it was still raining.
After the rain, the road was particularly difficult to walk. They stopped and walked, and the original two-month journey was worn down by them into three months. Fortunately, they had already entered King Jing's fief, and they were not far from their destination.
Tang Shishi and his entourage were beautiful women sent by Wang Shi, and they came to serve King Jing at the order of Empress Yao. However, seeing how no one cares about them along the way, I am afraid that King Jing did not expect them so much.
Also, how could a feudal lord with a strong reputation and a strong reputation be willing to be called a palace beauty, but in fact it is the eyes of the Queen Mother who are staring at her.
Since entering the fief, Tang Shishi has clearly felt that the order has taken on a new look. The refugees on the road are almost invisible, and even the official roads are much smoother. Tang Shishi looked at the scene outside and thought to himself that it was no wonder that the Queen Mother was worried about King Jing.
The little emperor of Jinling is only eleven years old this year, and Uncle Jing of the North is in his British years, guarding the fortress and holding half of the troops in the world. Of the people in Miyagi, who can really relax
When Tang Shishi was in a trance, the beauty in the car smiled and said, "Sister Tang, what are you looking at, so fascinated?"
Tang Shishi returned to his senses, lowered the curtain of the car, and said, "I'm stuffy, just look outside to get some air."
The person who spoke was Ji Xinxian, who was also a beauty who was sent to Prince Jing's mansion, and had never been convinced by Tang Shishi. In fact, there are five people in the car at the moment, only Tang Shishi has the lowest background. They don't say that they are in the same car. Even if they pull all the beauties on this trip, no one will have a lower identity than Tang Shishi, a merchant woman.
Ji Xinxian is the daughter of the prefect of Yangzhou anyway, so why is she jealous of Tang Shishi? Speaking of this matter, Tang Shishi had to sigh and reveal his face.
No talent, who made her look good. The empress dowager was very fond of Tang Shishi, and she personally ordered Tang Shishi to be the head of the beauties in this vassal. Among the people, Tang Shishi was the first in everything.
Ji Xinxian was angry when she saw Tang Shishi's triumphant attitude, she leaned on her companion, pinched the handkerchief, and said, "It's not a noble girl's act to lift the curtain and look on the road, look at Sister Zhou, you won't do such an indecent act. matter."
Zhou Shunhua had been silent for a long time, and when he heard this, he lifted his eyes and gave everyone a light glance: "What's my business with you arguing with you? Let's live in peace, if you are heard by Feng mama, you must be scolded. "
Mammy Feng is a close confidant of the Queen Mother. She is nearly forty years old and has never been married. She is quite ruthless. Ji Xinxian closed her mouth in fright when she heard Feng Mama, but Tang Shishi didn't care. Who made her look good? Madam Feng hated Tang Shishi's face the most, and it was too late to take care of her. How could she be punished
There were five people sitting in the car. Although they had eaten and slept together for three months, they really didn't have much affection for each other. After this episode, no one in Zhongmei wanted to speak, and the rest of the way was dull and silent.
Fortunately, they were lucky today and caught up with the inn. Mammy Feng let the girls get off the bus, and Shishi Tang helped the carriage to stand on the ground. When she saw the gate of the station, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
The other beauties also showed a relaxed and happy look. It was really exhausting to travel. It was a beautiful thing to be able to sleep well at night, maybe even take a bath.
The beauties happily took their little sisters to the station. Tang Shishi had no sisters, and she was not uncommon, and walked to the door beautifully alone. At the door of the inn, Mammy Feng gave everyone a room with a stern face. Although these beauties were all sent to serve King Jing, the beauties were also divided into high and low. Tang Shishi has a good appearance, a good figure, and is appreciated by the queen mother.
The two of them never crowded the Chase with other people, and always had their own room. It's just that the inn room was tense this time. Tang Shishi and Zhou Shunhua shared an upper room, Feng mama herself took up an upper room, and the others, four or five people squeezed into a lower room.
When Tang Shishi heard that he was going to live with Zhou Shunhua, he lost his interest in an instant. Zhou Shunhua, however, could hold his hand, and bowed to Mammy Feng with a look of everyone's demeanor: "Thank you Mammy."
Tang Shishi rolled his eyes secretly, and walked around the crowd to the room. When she was passing through the corridor, Madam Feng stopped her: "Tang Shishi."
Tang Shishi stopped, and when he turned back to face Mammy Feng, he immediately put on a good-natured and docile smile: "Well, Mammy, I don't know what order Mammy has?"
Mammy Feng looked at Tang Shishi up and down. She had been by the Queen Mother's side for a long time, and instinctively didn't like beautiful and flamboyant women, especially Tang Shishi. But I have to say that Tang Shishi's appearance is really good.
He has black hair and snow skin, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, a very upturned nose bridge, and red lips. What is especially wonderful is that the corners of his eyes are slightly raised, and the bright color is mixed with seductiveness.
It's no wonder that the Queen Mother has high hopes for this woman. From a man's point of view, she really can't resist this stunning beauty. Mammy Feng felt amazing when she looked at it, let alone a man
Mammy Feng thought, her face rarely softened, and there was even a smile on her lips: "I will arrive at Prince Jing's mansion in a few days. Seeing that the days I spend with you are less and less, I am really reluctant. Tonight, You might as well move to the old house, and the old man can talk to you about himself."
Tang Shishi showed a reluctance to give up in front of her. After listening to the second half of Feng Ma's words, she was shocked.
Madam Feng actually let her live in her own house? This shock is no small matter, Tang Shishi stabilized his mind, and immediately showed a look of surprise and pride: "Really? Thank you mama."
The other beauties didn't go far. They were both surprised and envious when they heard what Mama Feng said. There were many people who stared at Master Tang with hatred. Zhou Shunhua and her handkerchiefs exchanged glances, and cast a mocking but pitiful look at Tang Shishi. Tang Shishi took all the bills one by one. She said goodbye to Mammy Feng happily, and then went back to the house to pack her luggage in a high-profile manner.
Tang Shishi's luggage has been moved to the inn room by the soldier, and Tang Shishi packed up and went to spend the night in Mammy Feng's house. When she was packing, her hand loosened and a book fell out.
This book is already a bit old. Although it has been carefully preserved, there is still a yellow border around the edges, so it can be seen that it has been a few years old.
Tang Shishi looked at the familiar indigo blue cover and was slightly stunned. She has been away from home for three years, and for the past three years, I don't know how her mother is. The mother is cowardly and soft-hearted. How can she fight Su Shi and many young and beautiful concubines alone in the back house.
Tang Shishi is a merchant woman, her ancestral home is Linqing. Although the status of merchants is low, the merchants are really rich. Ninety percent of the world's banknotes are in Linqing, and ninety percent of Linqing's banknotes are in the Tang family. The Tang family is the veritable richest man in Linqing.
But in the beginning, the richest man in Linqing was not the Tang family, but the Lin family. Tang Shishi's mother, Lin Wanxi, is the only daughter of the Lin family. Mr. Lin has been in the shopping mall all his life, but he has never had any children. Later, Mr. Lin refused to beg for his son. He fell in love with a young man, Tang Mingzhe. He felt that this son would be of great use, so he betrothed his only daughter to Tang Mingzhe, and wanted to find someone to take care of his daughter Lin Wanxi a hundred years later.
Facts have proved that Mr. Lin's vision is very vicious. Tang Mingzhe took advantage of the Lin family's relationship to really shine. In just a few years, the Lin family's business has been expanded several times, not only controlling the canal business, but also getting involved with the government.
Mr. Lin had no son in his life, but he found a good son-in-law. He died of illness with a smile, but after the death of Mr. Lin, Tang Mingzhe held a huge amount of property and entered Fengyuechang all day long, and slowly his mind became active.
In the ninth month after the death of Mr. Lin, Master Tang was born. Lin Wanxi focused on her daughter. When Tang Shishi was about to turn 100 years old, Tang Mingzhe came back from the outside party and suddenly proposed to take a concubine.
Lin Wanxi was stunned. However, at this moment, Linqing is completely under Tang Mingzhe's world, and everyone only recognizes Tang Mingzhe, who still remembers the Lin family. Lin Wanxi's current identity is only Mrs. Tang, and she has no right to oppose her husband's concubinage. Within a month, Mrs. Su came in. In May of the following year, Mrs. Su gave birth prematurely, giving birth to the second young lady, Tang Yanyan.
Su Shi said that she was born prematurely at seven months, but looking at Tang Yanyan's appearance, she was clearly born at full term. Su Shi didn't even feed her milk, so she quickly became pregnant as soon as she gave birth. In the second year, she successfully gave birth to a boy.
So far, Su's position is completely stable. Lin Wanxi was weak and squeamish, and was quickly marginalized. Later, when Tang Mingzhe's women entered one by one, Lin Wanxi no longer had any sense of existence.
When Tang Shishi was very young, she heard the maids and old women say to her in a regretful tone that it is a pity that she is a girl. If she were a boy, the eldest lady wouldn't be reduced to this.
Everyone regrets that Lin Wanxi's first child was a daughter, and because of her lack of favor, it became more and more difficult to get pregnant, and her status in the main room plummeted. Lin Wanxi has a weak temper, so others will let them chew on their tongues, and she will devote herself to the child.
Lin Wanxi poured all her hope and love in the rest of her life into Tang Shishi. She was looking forward to Tang Shishi marrying a good family, and she prepared a dowry for Tang Shishi from the age of ten. Once, Lin Wanxi took Tang Shishi up the mountain to enter the incense, and the host stared at Tang Shishi for a long time, saying that this woman's blessing was short-lived and she might not be able to hold back.
Tang Shishi felt that the host was cheating money, but Lin Wanxi believed it and was completely panicked. After all, Lin Wanxi is the eldest miss of the Lin family. The private property left by Mr. Lin is enough for her to squander her life. Lin Wanxi donated half of her net worth in order to let the host change her life to Master Tang. Later, the host couldn't make it, and gave Tang Shishi a wordless book, saying that Tang Shishi should carry it with him and worship it well. When the time comes, he will find out.
Tang Shishi opened it and saw that the book was completely blank from the cover to the inner pages.
Is there a more standard scam than this? However, Lin Wanxi believed it. She said goodbye to the host with great gratitude and gratitude. After returning home, she forcibly escorted Master Tang to enshrine the scriptures and prayed in the morning and evening.
Tang Shishi can only comfort himself, just spend money to buy peace of mind for his mother. She reluctantly made offerings for several years, however, the blessing of the Buddha did not seem to work.
When Tang Shishi was ten years old, Lin Wanxi's old friend Mrs. Qi came to the Tang family as a guest. Mrs. Qi came to pity the miserable fate of her best friend, and secondly, she liked Tang Shishi's appearance, so she ordered a baby kiss for her sons Qi Jingsheng and Tang Shishi.
Qi Jingsheng is a well-known child prodigy in Linqing. He showed extraordinary talent at a young age. It is said that the Qi family is already working on relationships and will be used for Qi Jingsheng's scientific examination in the future. Lin Wanxi was extremely satisfied with this marriage, and happily prepared a dowry for Master Tang.
Later, I heard that Qi Jingsheng became more and more ambitious and passed the exam in the fourteenth year of Tang Shishi. When all the businessmen in Linqing ever came out as scholars, even Tang Mingzhe praised Qi Jingsheng. During that time, even Tang Shishi and Lin Wanxi's situation improved.
Unfortunately, they regarded Qi Jingsheng as a quick son-in-law, and others thought the same. When Lin Wanxi was embroidering Tang Shishi's wedding dress, there was a sudden news from outside that Tang Shishi was attracted by the flower and bird envoy, hit Tianen, and wanted to enter the palace draft.
Lin Wanxi was struck by lightning, and no one dared to rob the royal family. As a result, the marriage between Tang Shishi and Qi Jingsheng was naturally annulled. However, Tang Mingzhe did not want to give up a son-in-law who might become an official. With the persuasion of Su's mother and daughter, Tang Shishi's marriage was transferred to Tang Yanyan as a matter of course.
The night the news came, Lin Wanxi was furious and fell into a coma on the spot. When she woke up, despite her weak body, she struggled to fight with Tang Mingzhe and Su Shi.
Tang Shishi stopped his mother. Everyone in the world said that Lin Wanxi had a bad life. The first half of her life was a honeypot, and the second half of her life was Huanglian, but it was a pity that she did not give birth to a son. There were also people who held back Lin Wanxi for being too stupid and weak, so a good hand was broken.
It doesn't matter, if the mother is weak, then Tang Shishi is strong; if the mother does not fight, then she will fight.
As a woman, Tang Shishi could not take the imperial examinations to become an official, could not join the army, and could not return home to support her mother. Then she will enter the palace. She must make a name for herself in the palace, and let Tang Mingzhe and Su Shi kneel down and kowtow to her mother.
Tang Shishi quickly retracted his thoughts and picked up the yellowed book. In the three years after entering the palace, Tang Shishi almost completely forgot this book. An obvious scam, hollowing out half of my mother's net worth, and having to carry it with me, who can feel good about this kind of thing
Tang Shishi was very annoyed by this so-called "wordless book". She shoved things into the package, and suddenly a flower appeared in front of her eyes, and it seemed that there were words on it.
Tang Shishi was shocked and thought he had read it wrong. She turned it over and re-read it, and found that there were indeed words on it. On the cover that was originally empty, there were now three big characters "Shunhua Biography".
