Chapter 305: Gathering (two chapters in one) Just a few ordinary words, but Xiugu felt like she was struck by lightning! This look and tone are very much like the boss! Could it be that He Ran is not a liar and is really the heir to the He family? But it's not yet twelve hours, and that dead girl Du Hui refuses to relieve her acupuncture points. Xiu Gu has a lot of things to say, but she can't say them out. She could only stare at He Ran, her eyes looking like they were about to spit out fire. He Ran smiled and said to Xiaokui, "Let's get together again after I'm done with my work." Xiaokui smiled happily: "Okay." He Ran got on his horse and the team continued to move forward. Xiaokui watched He Ran leave, and Xiugu became even more angry. She couldn't move her neck. At this moment, a bird flew from the sky and landed firmly on Xiaokui's shoulder. A pair of bird eyes stared at Xiu Gu: "Xiu'er, is it you? Why are you so old?"
Xiugu's face changed drastically, Xiaoba? Is Xiaoba still alive? Xiaokui took out a few melon seeds from her purse. Xiaoba finished eating and rubbed them on Xiaokui's face: "Daimeikui, you are the most beautiful sunflower. How beautiful the flowers are, how beautiful you are." Xiu Gu: Sure, this is Xiao Ba. Apart from Xiao Ba, there is no such mean bird in the world. Xiaokui and Xiugu are not like Zuo Xiaoai. They wish they had the words "I am rich" welded on their bodies. They are always like old money. When they go out on their way, they are not wearing any gold or silver. At a glance, they look ordinary. A little old lady. Therefore, the news that He Ran dismounted and talked to the old ladies quickly spread throughout the capital. Originally, the people in the capital had a lot of speculations about the upcoming leader He Da, and even more, they were afraid. Why are you not afraid of King Zhao? The person who asked this question seemed to have underestimated the people of the capital. They were in the capital, and even if they had not seen with their own eyes what was going on in and outside the houses of dignitaries, they had heard it with their own eyes. It was still unknown whether a young and unconnected child like King Zhao could survive to ascend the throne. Besides, what if you ascend the throne? The previous emperor was still guarding the imperial mausoleum. Therefore, compared to King Zhao, the people were really afraid of He Ran. People in this era, from kings to common people, do not favor boys over girls. However, in the face of absolute power, they can only hide this mentality. Even if they curse in their hearts, they dare not show it on the surface. He Ran had already seen through this when he was still He Jinghong. Therefore, what is being close to the people, what is being virtuous, these are the tricks that men use to win the hearts of the people, of course He Ran can do it, but all of this must be done after Thunder's force! This is what He Ran did. This is also the reason why she has been staying in Zhending for three months and has not come to Beijing. Marquis Wu'an had already changed his banner, so there was no need to fight in the capital, so she could just accept it. Everyone thought that He Ran would go to the capital immediately after killing King Jin, but He Ran did not. But in the past three months, she has not been idle. She asked Jin Yiwei to investigate and clean up the capital. She had Lu Zhen's army of one hundred thousand stationed ten miles away from the capital, and Wu'an Hou's army patrolled the streets of the capital every day. The officials who stayed in various yamen after the capital was moved had meetings every day. Anyway, they had nothing to do, so they just had meetings to study. Headmaster He said that there would be an official exam in the spring of next year. These officials would have to take the exam. If they passed the exam, they would be retained, but if they failed, of layoffs. It is conceivable that before He Ran entered the capital, the capital was already tense.
Those who have never seen He Ran already imagine her as a vicious and murderous female devil. From now on, I have to live under the nose of this female devil, so hurry up and hug your poor self. Even He Ran didn't expect that she met an old friend and said a few words when he got off his horse. Such a small thing had been quickly magnified. "Have you heard? There was a lame old lady on the roadside. Master He was worried that she would be stepped on by the horse, so when he passed by her, he dismounted his horse." Xiugu: You are the only one who is lame, your whole family is lame! "My cousin's brother-in-law's neighbor's son-in-law saw it with his own eyes. Not only did Master He get off his horse, he also kindly took an old lady's hand and asked her if she could have enough to eat." Xiaokui: I don’t dare to eat enough for fear of gaining weight. If I get fat, I can’t jump over the wall. When the emperor moved the capital, he did not take all the people in the palace with him. In addition to some eunuchs and maids, there were also concubines staying in the palace. The last young emperor did not have a wedding, and the concubines in the palace were all the women of the previous two emperors. He Ran asked Zhong Yi to count in advance. There were thirty-five of these concubines in total, all of whom were childless. The oldest was over fifty years old and the youngest was twenty-two years old. If nothing happens, they will stay in the palace for the rest of their lives. He Ran originally wanted Zhong Yi to find a reason to send them back to their parents' home, but then she thought about it. Regardless of whether these women's parents' families had moved south, they might not be willing to accept them even if they were still here. When they were sent to the palace, they had the hope of benefiting the family, but if they were sent out of the palace, they would be a shame to the family. Of course, there will also be families who love their daughters and are willing to take them back. But in this day and age, how many such families can there be? Those who can enter the palace as concubines do not come from a small family. Their families are not just parents and brothers, but there is an entire family behind them. He Ran even suspected that when they were sent back to their family, Sanchi Bailing would be waiting for them. Of course, there is a possibility for them to survive. After all, there are still temples, nunneries or Taoist temples, and the Ancient Green Lantern Buddha is lucky. Therefore, He Ran just ordered Zhong Yi to set aside several courtyards in the palace for these women to live together, and to send people to guard them so that none of them could die. At this time, these thirty-five women were still living in the palace. On the same day, He Ran took Prince Zhao into the palace, and she asked him to live in Xianglin Palace, which was also the former Prince's East Palace and where the former Prince Zhao lived. He Ran had no plans to live in the palace. She liked the house in Laomofang Hutong very much. As soon as she sent King Zhao away, Yuan Xiaodong accompanied her godfather Yuan Ying to see her. After Yuan Xiaodong returned to Beijing, he and Zeng Fu stayed in the palace temporarily, waiting for arrangements. Although He Ran met Yuanying for the first time, she had heard some things about Yuanying before. This man had a weakness, and that weakness was his sister. He cares very much about his sister and her children. He Ran had made a decision early on, and now that he saw Yuan Ying in person, it was confirmed.
The next day, Yuanying went to Yulin Palace and became the eunuch in charge of Yulin Palace beside King Zhao. He Ran said to Yuan Xiaodong: "You did a good job in Jinling." Yuan Xiaodong's face turned red with excitement. Not only did he meet the master, he was also praised by the master. This life was worth it! He Ran asked someone to find Zeng Fu. Zeng Fu heard that the boss wanted to see him, so he hurriedly changed into clean clothes. If he had known that the boss was going to see him, he would have taken a shower and put on some perfume in advance. He Ran looked at the two young eunuchs in front of her. Although both of them were a bit slick, their eyes were clear and pure. "Yuan Xiaodong, you have made great contributions this time. What reward do you want?" It is no exaggeration to say that Yuan Xiaodong's move can be recorded in the annals of history as he was able to abduct the king of a country from Jinling to the capital. Yuan Xiaodong said hurriedly: "I don't want any rewards. I just want to go to the battlefield, charge into battle, and serve the master." Zeng Fu: Why didn’t you realize before that my buddy is so good at talking? He Ran smiled: "I will mark your merits first. You can stay with me. As for going to the battlefield, there will be many opportunities in the future." Yuan Xiaodong was overjoyed. Oh my god, how many people can stay with the boss? Zeng Fu was a little anxious when he heard that he had not done any meritorious service. Besides, he still followed here by himself. Once my brother soars into the sky, he will be the one next to the master from now on, what about me? Zeng Fuzheng didn't know what to say, but Yuan Xiaodong had already said: "Master, can you keep Xiao Fuzi as well? He is smarter than me and can do things better than me. I can vouch for him." Neither Yuan Xiaodong nor Zeng Fu knew that they had been under assessment since they returned to the capital. There was more than one person staring at them. Yuan Xiaodong was the mastermind of Jinghong Tower, but Zeng Fu was not. He was the master of this operation. an accident. Although these two young men were clever, they were young after all. They did not know that their every move in the palace would be reported to He Ran secretly. Zeng Fu was able to meet He Ran because he passed the assessment. However, He Ran said this: "Zeng Fu, since Xiaodong is willing to vouch for you, then you can stay and work hard in the future and don't embarrass Xiaodong." Zeng Fu was so happy that he almost jumped up. He kowtowed with Yuan Xiaodong and went out happily. A few days later, He Ran rewarded Yuan Xiaodong with a courtyard with two entrances, which would become his home from now on. He Ran did not live in the palace, so Yuan Xiaodong and Zeng Fu could go home to live when they were not on duty. The two teenagers were overjoyed. They were both the same, they both had no home since childhood, and this small yard was their first home. It wasn't until three days later that He Ran sent people to Jinghong Tower and invited Xiaokui, Xiugu and Du Hui to come over and have a party. As soon as the twelve hours came and Xiugu's acupuncture points were released, she wanted to see He Ran. But Li Jinxiu appeared. This sworn enemy sent several people to guard outside Jinghong Tower. She, Xiaokui and Du Hui were playing mahjong in Jinghong Tower. Three and one were missing. She asked Xiugu if she wanted to play. Leng snorted, of course she wanted to play, this mahjong was taught to them by the master. So the four of them played mahjong for three whole days. As a result, Xiu Gu became even more angry, because in addition to a few mistakes on the first day, she lost completely in the next two days. Not only did she lose all the money she brought, Yes, I even wrote an IOU! She didn't even have the money to go back to Huizhou! Xiugu suspected that the three of them were cheating, and they had had numerous quarrels in the past three days, and even used a knife. When He Ran sent someone to invite them to Laomofang Alley, when she saw the arrogant Zuo Xiaoai, it was not only Xiu Gu who wanted to take action, but also Li Jinxiu. Li Jinxiu: "Zuo Xiaoai, you bastard, how dare you come to the capital?" Xiugu: "Zuo Xiaoai, you are such a troublemaker, I have wanted to beat you for a long time." Li Jinxiu: "Xiu Gu, do you dare to touch Zuo Xiaoai? Who dares to beat her except me?"
Xiaokui persuaded one person and then tried to coax another one. She was very busy. He Ran heard the noise outside. She opened the window and looked at the noisy people. She felt sad in her heart. They were fighting and getting along like this back then. At that time, there were Ru Lan and Piao Piao. They were all dead. . Except for Ruyi, who was unable to live outside the customs for retirement due to injuries, only the few of her sisters were left in front of her. He Ran waved to Du Hui, who was standing at a loss, and motioned for her to enter the room. Du Hui didn't know that He Ran was He Jinghong, but after she learned that Li Jinxiu had recognized He Ran as his master, she immediately accepted it. He Jinghong is her benefactor, and He Ran is He Jinghong's descendant, her little benefactor. What's unacceptable about this? In Du Hui's view, Xiugu was sick, and she was seriously ill. He Ran looked at Du Hui with mixed feelings. She had only seen Du Hui once in her previous life. That day she passed by a mass grave and met a little girl struggling to climb over from the mass grave. She was in a hurry and walked over. The little girl was handed over to Du Yunniang for treatment. Unexpectedly, when I saw Du Hui again, Du Hui was already over fifty years old. "I heard that you have two new apprentices. Please call them in." Sure enough, those people were noisy and found that Du Hui was called in by the head master. They immediately stopped arguing and came over. However, they did not dare to enter the house and waited outside the door. When they saw Xiaoli coming out, left Xiao Ai quickly asked: "Is the boss angry?" Xiaoli suppressed her laughter, but deliberately did not say whether He Ran was angry or not: "The boss wants to see Aunt Du's new apprentice, you can go in too." Several people filed in, and He Ran looked at them with a smile: "Sit yourself." Everyone sat down, except Xiu Gu who still stood as tall as a pine tree. "What's your relationship with the boss?" she asked abruptly. There was silence in the room. He Ran looked at Xiu Gu and suddenly pointed to Ci Jian next to him and said, "Come in with me." Xiugu didn't know why and followed He Ran into the house. After a while, the two came out of the house one after another. Xiaokui peeked in and saw Xiugu's eyes were red, and she looked at He Ran with a little more reverence. Xiaokui felt relieved, she just said that as long as she saw the boss with her own eyes, Xiugu would understand. However, Xiu Gu accepted He Ran, but her habit of being indifferent and unrestrained did not change. "Master, give me an army and I will go to Jinling and kill that bitch Min Lan. If she dares to burn Jinghong Tower, I will burn her!" He Ran smiled and looked at the others. Zuo Xiaoai laughed out loud, which earned her two glares from Li Jinxiu and Xiu Gu. "If Min Lan hears what you said, she will definitely get up and kowtow to you three times. You are her great benefactor. She is worse off than dead now. If you kill her, you will free her, Xiugu , You and Min Lan are sisters, Jin Lan, and you always think about her." Xiugu was so angry that she wanted to hit someone. A shit stirrer is a shit stirrer. Xiaokui quickly smoothed things over: "Xiugu, we are old, let the young people handle the war. By the way, don't you have a grandson? How about the child? Can he stand alone?"
