Unparalleled Women in the World

November in the south is still as warm as spring.

Meifu, study room.

Mei Wangqing sat quietly in the armchair, with two letters on the desk in front of her.

The letter on the left is slightly thicker, the paper is white, fine and translucent, and the handwriting is thick and solid.The letter on the right is a bit flimsy, the paper color is moon green, with a hint of fragrance, and the character is elegant and elegant.

Mei Wangqing paused, reached out to pick up the letter on the right, she slowly opened the envelope, opened the letter paper, and scanned carefully, only to see the letter:

Wang Qing, I love Fang Jian, and those who are sincerely sincere.Qing left Beijing ten days ago and has now arrived in Jiangzhou. When this letter was delivered, Qing was already in the southern border.

Everything in the mansion is as usual, the changes in the court are still the same, the princess of the Ji family is promoted to the king, and only Ji Man gets the name Hou Er!Wang Qing's sworn brother An Ge is already happy, and Liu Hanyan is ecstatic.My younger brother Jiayan is tentatively scheduled to leave the cabinet at the end of the year, and I will leave for the south after getting married.

In Anping Mansion, Shaoqing's figure was in a cold voice and the scene was dark.I only accompany poetry, calligraphy and painting to relieve worries, and occasionally carve jade articles to spend my days leisurely.In the experimental room, Biyun flower wine is rare; in Honghui courtyard, the scene of joy is hard to come by.

The autumn season is getting colder, and there are two places away from the body.In the cold rain and the lonely lamp, Siqing can't sleep.Only when you are entangled in memories, love, friendship, closeness, and dreaming of each other, can you sleep.

I hope you will come back soon.

Handwritten by his lover Yan Fei.

September [-]

Mei Wangqing put down the letter in her hand, her face was flushed, and her heart beat faster. The lovesickness and intimate words in the letter made her both happy and ashamed!Yan Fei's temperament is really cold on the outside and hot on the inside!At this moment, she also misses Yan Fei a little.

Mei Wangqing lowered her eyes and sighed slightly. According to the date on the letter, Yan Fei set off at the end of the year. This journey is far away, and it will arrive in February of the next spring. There are still three or four months before I can see Yan Fei. During these days , just as she is busy, then, this time is also easy.

Mei Wangqing sat quietly for a long while, she calmed down her ups and downs, picked up another letter, opened the letter paper, a thick stack, she counted twelve pages, and when she glanced at it, the whole text was written in English. It was written in pinyin. When she was teaching code words at Emperor Qi Guang's residence, all the writing was in the horizontal version from left to right. The writing in this letter is the same. Daily life:

For example: the court affairs are complicated and trivial, the family is authoritarian and domineering, the laws are corrupt, and the decision-making is inefficient. The whole house is either flattering officials or subordinates who don't know how to adapt. Those who are a little more flexible are either perverse people or people who exercise power... …

The paper and paper are all Ji Huan's bitterness!And the last four pages are the acquaintances and intersects with her, as well as the feelings of longing:

When I first saw you, you entered the world like an elf, your singing voice was ethereal like a fairy, your thoughts are boundless, and your wit is extraordinary, my heart is shocked!

Goodbye, you have a sly smile in your eyes, a face like a lotus, a sincere heart, and an unruly personality, all of which made me fall into it unconsciously.

……

Changlinyuan hunting, you and I have a tacit understanding, take care of each other, live and die together.

Luo Ya was rescued by you and taken care of by you. Those days were actually the most carefree time for me. By your side, I was the only one.

……

In the small courtyard of Hongbin Building, the fragrance of acacia is scattered, and the feeling is integrated.Your eyes reflect my face; your mouth calls my name; your madness, your cries are all because of me, that night, I was full of joy...

……

In the dream last night, you deliberately seduced me and teased me wantonly, and then we were intimate, close, and happy, like glue, very happy and beautiful!Woke up this morning, all alone, feeling lost in my heart!

……

Have you ever invited me to sleep at midnight?But the fragrance intoxicates me?

……

In the end, Ji Huan hoped that Mei Wangqing's reply to her would also be longer, preferably in pinyin.

Mei Wangqing stared at her eyes for a long while, then she let out a long sigh.

There are two women, Chi Yanfei and Ji Huan, if she chooses one of them, she is destined to hurt the other, and if she abandons them all, she can't do it. She is emotional, and before she knows it, until today, her heart is already live woman.

How to choose now?She is also very distressed, so she can only take one step at a time and let nature take its course!She also didn't want to hurt Yan Fei and Ji Huan in the slightest!

Mei Wangqing took a pen and wrote back to both of them.

One is text, the other is pinyin, which is not easy to write with a brush, so she ordered her servants to find goose feathers and make a quill.

In her reply letter to Chi Yanfei, she explained the journey, the scenery of the states, the interesting things, the folk customs of various places, the special environment and climate in the southern border, the people's livelihood and economy here... Her usual daily activities, Yu The situation in Tongcheng, Xue Qin and Yutong Twelve Riders, her newly opened workshop, and her products.

In the end, regarding the words of longing, Mei Wangqing had a thin skin, she thought and thought, and in the end she only wrote a sentence of "one word of lovesickness is endless", "I hope Qing will enter the southern border soon".

In reply to Ji Huan's letter, Mei Wangqing teased her severely:

If the laws and regulations are rotten, it is difficult to reform in the long run; if the decision-making is inefficient, change the strategy or replace the people to implement it.

There are treacherous and sycophantic ministers in the court, which is due to the faintness of the lord; there are too many mediocre ministers, which shows that the method of obtaining materials in the court is doubtful; It's rare for a minister, if the Lord has a clear eye, he won't be without...

The way of mastering is nothing more than checks and balances, which can be used by others...

Mei Wangqing raised her eyebrows, and added a pen:

Seduce you?Tease you?If you want to be beautiful, I won't!Your dream clearly distorts the fact of my pure character!

The one who likes to seduce and tease people is not you, dead woman?

It's a pity that this beautiful peony is more enchanting than peony.

Invite you to sleep?It did happen, but it wasn't because you were drunk, but because you bickered with each other, fought poetry, raced horses...

These two letters each have a set of exquisite gifts, including high-quality soap, beauties, rainbow candies, fairy jelly, changed eggs, red oil salted eggs, high-quality vermicelli, high-quality instant noodles, etc. Jiufang led armor soldiers, guards, etc. The formed team went to Beijing for some preparations, and Jiufang was going to celebrate her mother's birthday, so she would stay in Beijing for a while this time.

Mei Wangqing also gave a set of exquisite gifts to all her friends in Beijing: An Ge and his wife, Wang Hui, Song Ke, Cui Wenyin, Su Lingyu, Qi Guangdiqing, etc., which were both gifts and promotion of her products.

Mei Wangqing plans to go all the way east, open branches upwards, set up five branches in Qiongzhou and Huzhou, and assign special personnel to take care of them.

In Yutong City, on the bulletin board in the center of the main street, the recruitment letter posted on it attracted a large number of applicants.

The interview location is in the lobby of the gourmet store and the backyard.

There were two long queues outside the lobby. Their ages ranged from teens to 40 years old. They looked straight at the three people sitting on carved chairs in the middle of the hall. The woman, with a high jade crown and silk and satin all over her body, was talking sideways to the steward who was waiting on her side.On the left is a handsome and refined man, about 35 or [-] years old, with fixed eyes and a faint smile on his mouth.On the right is a young man with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, as noble as jade.

Mei Wangqing wanted to recruit staff, Taijun Anping and Xu You said that they could help select personnel, and they were sitting on the sidelines watching, when the steward was holding the roster and calling for people, someone from outside the hall walked in quickly, and then After some introduction, the steward will ask a few questions. Taijun Anping will glance at him sometimes, or wave his hand lightly, or shake his head directly. When the steward sees it, he directly informs that person that he failed, and then replaces another person. Taijun Anping sees a good one. , will also directly say: Yes.When the steward sees this, he will leave that person behind.Sometimes Xu You would speak, such as: This person is good, this person is good, this person can stay, this person can't wait...

These two interviews were really fast.

Mei Wangqing glanced at the two of them somewhat unexpectedly.

Xu You smiled and said: "Looking at people and faces, most of the people with kind faces and clear eyes are not bad; educate."

Anping Taijun said: "Looking at people's spirit and spirit, this person who is refreshed, free and easy, and has a dignified appearance, this luck and appearance are all superior, better than those who have no owner, dodge eyes, and are dejected. !"

Among the selected personnel, there are not only local managers with rich business experience, but also farm managers recommended by Anping Taijun. Xu You suggested that a captain who is good at coordinating affairs should be selected from the armored soldiers and guards, and then carry out For training, after all, I know the basics of people and have a contract in hand, so I can feel more at ease.

Mei Wangqing gave these stewards, accountants, and clerks a half-month induction training, and signed contracts, confidentiality agreements, etc. The stewards and accountants of each branch supervised each other, and one of them must be someone Mei Wangqing could trust. Afterwards, under the command of the guards of Mei Mansion, leading a long group of armored soldiers and bodyguards, they formed a mighty caravan with carts and carts full of goods, and headed eastward all the way.

After this.

Xue Qin and Mei Wangqing disguised themselves as rich merchants, and led thirty soldiers who were dressed as grooms and long-term attendants, pulling a cart full of goods, and headed south together.

Entering the southern border at the beginning of this year, Mei Wangqing organized a large number of armored soldiers to reclaim wasteland and farmland, but it will have to wait until next year to see the grain harvest.In the six months before this, the grain reserves in Yutong City were far from enough.

This time, Mei Wangqing went south with Xue Qin, not only to do business with the vassal states, to trade her products, but also to buy food.

This train team of horses travels through the countryside, and it is inevitable to sleep in the open, so they can deal with it casually with dry food. Fortunately, Mei Wangqing's sweet potato vermicelli, instant noodles, red oil salted eggs, preserved eggs and other commodities came in handy. Good pawn hunting, with some meat, is also a delicious picnic.

Mei Wangqing lived in the open for six or seven days, and finally saw a bustling market. She rode forward, and the team slowly marched into the market with the sound of hooves.

She swept her phoenix eyes and saw tarpaulins of various colors on both sides of the street, and under the tarpaulins were vendors selling various goods.There are some goods she has seen before, such as those ordinary grains, rice noodles, dried fruits and peanuts; there are also some dried herbs, cut into pieces, ground into powder, and shaved into slices; there are also cloth stalls, bright silk , dazzling Yuejin, coarse cloth with white flowers on a blue background... There are also some things she has never seen before, such as strange fruits, strange foods, colorful garlands strung together, etc.

Mei Wangqing was surprised for a while, seeing the diversity of people here, the peddler in front of the stall had a slightly yellow complexion, deep facial features, and a well-proportioned figure.

Xue Qin, who was riding beside her, introduced: "It's from South Vietnam."

Mei Wangqing's eyes brightened slightly, and in front of the road were a few thin and petite women with darker complexion, she knew that they must be from Baiyue.

Xue Qin said: "Don't look at them dark and thin. When they fight, they are all ruthless and not afraid of death. They are not inferior to those tall Nanyue people and Daliang people."

Mei Wangqing saw some foreign costumes and unusual accents, but she could understand them.

Xue Qin said softly, "This is the people from the various vassal states."
