Chapter 44, the two mistresses are palace maids

The poem says: One is a jade from a small family, and the other is a lady from a big family.

Carrying the Liujia Dragon Vein, the inner courtyard of the palace is full of romance.

It is said that Niu He brought out two palace maids with no status. The older one was named Liu Wanjun and the younger one was named Wang Chunhua.

Liu Wanjun was born in a merchant family in Jinling. Her father was a silk merchant. The largest silk and satin shop in the center of Jinling City belongs to the Liu family. Mr. Liu is a very respectable person in Jinling. He is not only a businessman, but also an upright street person.

All affairs, big and small, are under his control. Going in and out of Jinling Mansion is like walking on flat ground.

In that era, emphasis was placed on agriculture but not on commerce, and the status of merchants in society was not very high. In Southern Tang society, the status of merchants improved, and people like Mr. Liu began to participate in some affairs in the court. Mr. Liu was a

They were good friends and became the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the people recuperated and prospered, the society prospered, the economy developed, and everything was renewed.

During the period of Li Jing, the central ruler, due to the invasion of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, all the areas north of the Yangtze River were ceded to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The economic backbone of the Southern Tang Dynasty, salt production, was handed over to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Southern Tang Dynasty's economy plummeted and gradually became the country with the heaviest taxes. People's homes

Every chicken that laid a double-yolked egg had to pay taxes. The numerous taxes overwhelmed the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and people's mentality changed. Big businessmen like Mr. Liu were also overwhelmed.

Miss Liu was born into a wealthy family and is Mr. Liu's youngest daughter. Mr. Liu usually likes her the most and regards him as the apple of his eye. He gets the wind if he wants it, and the rain will get him if he wants it. If he puts it on his head, he will be afraid of being crooked, and if he holds it in his mouth, he will be afraid of melting.

I was afraid of dropping it when I held it in the palm of my hand. Miss Liu also learned from Nvhong since she was a child. Mr. Liu specially asked his husband to teach the girl how to read and digit. He started from his daughter to learn the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules, and the Twenty-Four Filial Piety. She was a talented girl who was well-known far and wide.

In order to cling to the imperial court and avoid taxes, Mr. Liu asked someone to reluctantly part ways with him and sent the young Liu Wanjun to the palace.

Liu Wanjun was 11 years old when she entered the palace. Because he was smart, he quickly became the queen's personal maid. The queen at that time was already the Little Zhou Empress. The Little Zhou Empress was very favored by Li Yu, the empress of the Tang Dynasty. They were together every day, singing and dancing all their lives.

, reciting poems and painting. Li Yu, the empress of the Tang Dynasty, used his talents to please the Empress Xiao Zhou and wrote a unique poem "Bodhisattva Man":

The rooftop of Penglai courtyard is closed, and there is no one talking in the painting hall day and night.

Throwing pillows under the green cloud light, beautiful clothes and smelling the strange fragrance.

When I sneak into the palace, the locks move, I feel like dreaming on the silver screen.

His face was filled with a slow smile, and he looked at each other with infinite affection.

She won the favor of the Little Zhou Queen. After the Big Zhou Queen died, the Little Zhou Queen became the queen.

Liu Wanjun has been following Xiao Zhou since she entered the palace. After several years of growth, Liu Wanjun has appeared to be elegant and generous. She has willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a goose-yellow face, and three-inch golden lotuses that move like lotus leaves in the wind. Li Yu, the Empress of the Tang Dynasty

When I met Liu Wanjun, I was salivating. Because he and Empress Xiao Zhou were inseparable and could not do anything.

One day, Liu Wanjun sent snacks to the emperor on the order of Empress Xiao Zhou.

Liu Wanjun came in, and the hostess Li Yu looked at him and backed away. Liu Wanjun hurriedly walked up to him with the snacks. He took a piece of snacks and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he stared at him with burning eyes.

He stared at Liu Wanjun. He lowered his head, but his body was already feeling hot. He

He hurriedly put the snack plate on the table, turned around and left. Li Yu grabbed him and held him in his arms.

From then on, whenever there was an opportunity, Li Yu would touch Liu Wanjun. Xiao Zhouhou also turned a blind eye.

Liu Wanjun grew up day by day, and the girl's heart was fascinated by the romantic emperor Li Yu. She was obsessed with five things and couldn't keep her mind.

In recent days, war reports have spread frequently, the news has become increasingly tense, the chickens and dogs in Jinling City are restless, and people inside and outside the palace are panicking. In the past few days, Liu Wanjun's pregnancy symptoms have become more and more serious day by day. He is like an ant on a hot pot, at a loss.

Liu Wanting is the lady of everyone, and Wang Chunhua is the beauty of Xiaojia.

Wang Chunhua's hometown is in Jiangxi. The Wang family is a well-known wealthy family in Jiangxi. Wang Yuanwai is a famous country gentleman in Jiujiang. Wang Yuanwai owns thousands of acres of land on the bank of Poyang Lake and a pond of several hundred acres, including 1,000 acres of land.

It is a mulberry tree. They built a spacious silkworm house and hired hundreds of long-term workers to serve these silkworm babies. The Wang family has an income of tens of thousands of silver every year. Less than half of it comes from these silkworm babies. Wang Yuan is very knowledgeable and has silk customers from Jinling and Yangzhou.

He often came to Wang's house to purchase silkworm cocoons. Many unknown news in the world kept reaching Wang Yuanwai's ears.

In addition to Wang's income, part of his income comes from rice. The Wang family has thousands of acres of land near Poyang Lake and has a bumper harvest every year.

The fish pond of the Wang family is even more wonderful. It produces millions of catties of fish every year. There is an endless stream of merchants from Jinling and Yangzhou. Fish traders of all sizes come and go, making money every day.

The shores of Poyang Lake stretch for dozens of miles, and are all the land, ponds and industries of the Wang family. The children of the Wang family have been raised in a honeypot since they were born. Wang Yuanwai now has four sons and one daughter. According to the local saying, "five sons"

Two daughters are what make him rich and powerful. Now, An Ren is pregnant again. He thinks about it day and night, wanting a beautiful little daughter. If he makes five sons and two daughters, he will become rich and noble, and he will be satisfied.

One day, while I was chatting with some squires, a servant came to me and said, "Master, go home quickly. My wife has given birth to a precious daughter for you."

When Wang Yuanwai heard this, he was overjoyed and hurried home. Po Wen brought the second young lady in her arms. He kissed her on the left and looked at her on the right. Her round little face made him unable to kiss or love her enough.

From then on, the second young lady Wang Chunhua became Wang Yuanwai’s sweetheart. Wang Yuanwai thought of his precious daughter wherever he went. Whatever the little girl liked to eat, use, and play with, he brought it back to the second young lady.

.I really want the stars but not the moon.

Wang Chunhua is also very up-to-date, she looks like a porcelain doll that brings blessings. She is loved by everyone and has a very sweet little mouth. She always surrounds Wang Yuanwai and calls her daddy, daddy, daddy. Wangyuanwai is so happy that he grins from ear to ear.

Wang Chunhua grew more and more beautiful. Every spring, his brothers and sisters took him for an outing. In a field of golden rapeseed flowers, Miss Wang, wearing a red skirt, danced like colorful butterflies. In summer,

I took a boat ride with my brothers and sisters on Poyang Lake, passing through the beautiful reeds and swaying among the lotus leaves.

In autumn, Wang Yuanwai took his young daughter to Jingdezhen. He chose various porcelains, bought various rouges, and took her shopping street after street. Wang Yuanwai had a porcelain kiln in Jingdezhen.

Usually, Miss Wang never leaves the house. She follows her mother, sisters and sisters-in-law to learn the art of embroidery, tracing patterns, and embroidering dragons and phoenixes. Miss Wang, who is ingenious, can both tie panners and knots.

She also knows how to cut and sew clothes. She is skilled in everything and good at everything. When Miss Wang Er was nine years old, Wang Yuanwai specially hired a teacher to teach Miss Wang how to read and digit, read and chant Confucianism, and learn culture.

The second lady, Wang Chunhua, grew up by the Poyang Lake and gained experience in Jingdezhen. She became more and more beautiful as she grew taller, with a face as pink as peach blossoms, a pair of big eyes as clear as clear water, and a small cherry mouth under the straight bridge of her nose.

As the saying goes, a family has girls from hundreds of families. The second young lady of the Wang family has reached the age of marriage in a blink of an eye. The matchmaker in Sixiang ran away and broke her leg. The family from the east will come to propose marriage today, and the family from the west will come tomorrow to make a betrothal.

Magistrate Xiong said: "Wang Yuan is a well-known squire in our Jiujiang. His family has a big business, which is our blessing in Jiujiang. The trouble we have caused this time is really big. I am afraid that I can't do anything because of my humble position. The strength of the Wang family is not without some solutions."

When Boss Wang saw that Magistrate Xiong was leaving room for words, he said, "If you need anything, my parents, just ask. The common people will do their best. As long as they keep my father safe, they will obey Magistrate Xiong's orders."

After going back and forth, Wang Yuanwai was imprisoned in official uniform for a year. Finally, Wang Jia sold the porcelain shop and real estate in Jingdezhen. Raising millions of taels of silver, Wang Yuanwai had an excellent reputation in Jiangxi. Under pressure from all aspects, Xiong Jia
