Liu Hanyun committed suicide, even though he was suffering from tuberculosis, he should not have died so early. Ji Man was a little bit sad, but she just lost her well, so she was not in the mood to think about anything else. When Ning Yuxuan asked her what she thought Xi'er should do, Ji Man still sighed and said: "After all, he is the son of Lord Hou, his own flesh and blood, so naturally he can't be treated lightly. What does Lord Hou want?"
Ning Yuxuan said: "Why don't you leave it to Qing'er, Qing'er is also a little lonely in the yard, after working for me for so many years, her yard is strangely deserted."
"Okay." Ji Man didn't have any objections, she just got up silently and put away some good things in the house, at least as a thought.
Moyuhou's mansion became even more deserted, Ji Man hadn't passed the door, but no one dared to treat her as his wife, and the servants all called her his wife directly after Liu Hanyun's first seven passed. Mu Shuiqing likes Xi'er, she takes him to tease every day, and comes to say hello every night, and the rest of the time is either playing in the garden or taking him out for a stroll.
It was deserted and deserted, but Ning Yuxuan felt a lot more relieved, and basically didn't have to worry about the fire in the backyard. So right now, he has more free time to deal with the affairs of the court.
Many officials wanted to repopulate Moyuhou's mansion with women, but Moyuhou politely refused, saying that he was not in good health, so he would not delay the girls of each family.
Ji Man was very moved. You said that Ning Yuxuan even uttered self-deprecating jokes about her poor health. What else could she say
But since ancient times, in-laws have been very important means of establishing relationships. When Ning Yuxuan needed to win over people's hearts, how could she be his stumbling block
So Ji Man created a "Hundred Flowers Club", first invited Luo Qianqian, Er Rong, and Zhu Yurun, and then successively invited the wives of various families. Any woman who understands piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can become a member of the Hundred Flowers Club.
This plagiarized the idea of a fan club, but Jiman marketed it very successfully. Members of the Hundred Flowers Club can not only enjoy the treatment of mastering the latest trends in skin care, whitening, makeup, jewelry, clothes, etc., once an unmarried woman enters the club, the matchmaker's mother-in-law will be more talkative, and she will take care of finding the best for the girl. With a good family.
As a result, the wives of high-ranking officials and ladies who are bored at home every day like to go to Moyuhou's mansion. Ji Man clearly distinguishes who can be admitted to the Hundred Flowers Club and who cannot. He is completely cooperating with Mo Yuhou. The family members of the person he wants to win must be on the invitation list of the Hundred Flowers Club. Then he will come forward in person, defeat it with plagiarized ancient quatrains, and refuse to accept it.
In less than a month, Baihuahui became famous, because Zhu Yurun, who had always been ignorant of poetry, went to Luoyan Pagoda to write a poem "Tianjingsha ยท Autumn Thoughts". Women don't have such a heart, born in a boudoir, how can they have the feeling of a heartbroken man in the end of the world
Covering his face, Zhu Yurun followed Ji Manjiao's words and said, "I just saw a picture drawn by someone in the Hundred Flowers Club, and the accompanying words."
Luo Qianqian sent her painting to the Luoyan Pagoda at the right time. The scenery in the painting is exactly the same as in the poem, and the brushstrokes are bleak and shocking.
"This is what Qianqian saw in the border town of Huainan." Luo Qianqian saluted and said, "My lords are laughing."
This is also reasonable, the women of the Hundred Flowers Society left a lot of calligraphy in the Luoyan Pagoda today, and leave it to future generations to comment. Although this move is slightly insolent, it also leaves a very deep impression on people. A group of scholars blushed and lamented that they were not as good as women.
Ji Man has always been a man. After getting to know a lot of wives, all the families got on good terms with each other, sending some fresh bun styles, jewelry and jade hairpins from time to time.
Ning Yuxuan came back with an inexplicable expression, to see that she was busy writing something. Taking a closer look, she found a stack of thick paper, and she wrote four words on the first page: "Fashion Magazine".
"What is this?" Ning Yuxuan couldn't laugh or cry: "There are people coming and going in this mansion recently, what are you messing around with?"
Ji Man glanced at him, and pulled out a list: "Mrs. Li's wife, Mrs. Zhang, Taifu Sun's wife, Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Xu's wife, Ms. Qian..."
"You..." Ning Yuxuan raised her eyebrows, and took the list in her hand to look at it. How did she get these things in just one month
"These ladies seem to be very nice people." Ji Man said with a smile: "Probably because of you, they treat me very well, and we had a lot of fun together."
Mo Yuhou: "..." Her list was densely packed with the surnames and hobbies of many important ministers' wives in the court.
"I was thinking, since I don't want to let you take a concubine, then I have to help you somewhere?" Ji Man looked at him with his chin propped up and said, "The threshold of your Moyuhou's mansion is too high, so they all I feel that only in-laws can be regarded as having a relationship with you. In fact, if the wife in the backyard has made friends, that is also a relationship, just like... like Concubine Nie and the old lady before."
Ning Yuxuan was shocked.
"You don't have to worry about what I do, it won't hurt you anyway." Ji Man took back the list in his hand: "You work hard in the front, and I will naturally work hard behind you, so that I am worthy to stand with you. "
After looking at Jiman for a long time, Ning Yuxuan let out a heavy breath, reached out and hugged her in his arms: "It's really a wonderful treasure."
Ji Man was a little embarrassed: "The women in our place are actually so smart, it's just that I just happened to come here."
"Yeah." Ning Yuxuan smiled and kissed her forehead: "It happens to be you."
Ji Man smiled, pulled him to sit beside her, and began to show him her achievements in the past month.
Ning Yuxuan's expression didn't change, but his heart was overwhelmed.
"How do you know... Zhu Shilang is loyal to me?" Ning Yuxuan asked casually: "The marriage between Yingchen and Zhu Yurun is bumpy, maybe Zhu Shilang has other intentions behind his back."
"No." Ji Man pointed at Zhu Yurun's name on the paper with a pen and said: "Zhu Shilang loves Yurun very much. Yurun married Qian Yingchen and is doing well now. When she returns to her mother's house, she will not report the happy news." You are worrying, which relieved Father Zhu a lot. Even if Shi Lang Zhu blamed you at first, but after Zhu Yurun and Qian Yingchen had a good life, Shi Lang Zhu should let go of all anger."
The most innocent woman she came here to see was Zhu Yurun, or rather stupid, stupid and cute. In addition, Zhu Shilang is the one who loves his child the most, and he looks like his daughter is good to him. Zhu Yurun married Qian Yingchen, so it was impossible for him not to help Mo Yuhou.
Ning Yuxuan's eyes were dark, Ji Man was really different from the women here, she could guess people's hearts and even analyze political affairs. In recent days, he just mentioned two people's names occasionally when he was in trouble, but she didn't expect her to remember them all. He also analyzed a network of relations between the DPRK and China. Using some psychological analysis and position analysis, he put some people she knew, All analyzed.
Although a woman's opinion is relatively superficial, she only knows a little bit of information. If she knew everything, the minister of the court and the central government would probably be completely analyzed by her.
Such a woman is a little scary, and even a little threatening to the imperial power. If she is as coquettish as Daji, she is likely to be the next confidante to die.
But no, Ji Man is not that bad. Ning Yuxuan closed his eyes, stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms, and touched his stomach.
He knew that she just wanted to break free from the shackles with him and live a better life.
However, with her help, he got closer to the people from the Six Departments. Li Licheng came to greet him, and even joked: "My wife has repeatedly praised Miss Nie, saying that Miss Nie is really virtuous and generous, and she will be there when she is free. The humble house set up a banquet for Miss Nie to honor."
When Ning Yuxuan listened, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. His woman, being able to be praised like this naturally made him very happy.
Jiman is used to running sales, and has his own set of skills when dealing with people. He will never offend people, and will only get closer to people unconsciously. Although there are few people in the Hou's Mansion, ladies and wives from various families would come to eat melon seeds, embroider and chat every day, and it was much more lively than before.
It's a pity that Er Rong and Luo Qianqian soon left the capital to return to their respective fiefs, only Zhu Yurun accompanied her with snacks every day.
Ji Man asked Zhu Yurun: "Why do you come here so often these two days? Don't you need to accompany Lord Qian?"
Zhu Yurun pursed his lips and said: "Recently, the minister fell in love with a girl who can dance, so I don't need to accompany you, so I came to accompany you."
Ji Man couldn't laugh or cry, and only Zhu Yurun could see it like this. Qian Yingchen occasionally fell in love with another woman, and she didn't get angry, so she avoided it by herself. When Qian Yingchen got tired of it, she went back round and round again, and the two of them loved each other as if nothing had happened.
God man!
Being able to live such a happy life, Ji Man felt that Zhu Yurun was the only one, and he didn't intend to disturb her anymore, so he went to gossip with the wives and ladies while raising the baby with peace of mind.
When spring came, news of the defeat came from the border. Ning Mingjie brought 80,000 reinforcements to the border and became 120,000. For some reason, they were defeated during the attack and defense, and the 120,000 turned back to 80,000. The loss was heavy, and the border sent back the battle report truthfully.
The imperial court was shocked, the soldiers led by Ning Mingjie were elite soldiers, how could they be defeated so badly? Long Yan was furious, and immediately looked at Mo Yuhou, with the implication that "it was your fault for not wanting to lead troops to go out at the beginning".
Seeing that the emperor was going to let Mo Yuhou be in command again, all the ministers recommended Xiao Sihai, the lieutenant general of the Xiao family, who was also a distant relative of the emperor, to make meritorious service.
Zhao Zhe hesitated for a while, but he also agreed. It's just that the court and China are quite united recently. For some reason, he always feels that the people in the six tribes are more loyal to Mo Yuhou.
