Zhao Mo sent someone to the capital to deliver a birthday gift to the emperor this time, so he sent a letter to the Yongjiahou Mansion by the way.

Although he has never left the fiefdom of Suning for three and a half years, he never forgets to give gifts to Beijing every year on the Emperor's Birthday Festival, the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu and the birthday of the Prince of the East Palace. The gifts he sent were not very valuable, most of them were Suning's specialties, but they were better than their hearts. For example, this year's longevity ceremony he offered, the officiating ceremony is a longevity calligraphy twelve paper screens, on the screen there are 10,000 longevity characters written by Zhao Mo himself, although it is not possible to say that each longevity word is a different way to write, but 10,000 longevity words, a hundred ways to write are still available. Every word was written by him, and there was no mistake from beginning to end. This dedication alone is enough to be called rare.

The screen itself is made of yellow rosewood, and the carving is also very exquisite, even if you don't count Zhao Mo's 10,000 handwritten longevity characters, the screen itself is also heavy enough to be placed in the palace. When the emperor saw it, he was overjoyed, and praised Zhao Mo for a few words.

This is not all, the longevity gift sent by Zhao Mo, except for this screen is the officiating ceremony, the rest of Suning's specialties are not mentioned, mainly all kinds of furs and velvet textiles, etc., and there is one that is not presented to the emperor, but there is a special gift mentioned in the fold, that is, one hundred copies of the "Diamond Sutra" copied by Zhao Mo himself.

The envoy of the birthday gift set out from Suning County, met a temple along the way, and offered a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" to the Buddha statue of that temple to pray for the emperor. In this way, all the way to the capital, exactly eighty-nine copies were offered, and the remaining eleven copies were all sent to the royal temple in the capital for worship. Along the way, the temple that received Zhao Mo's handwriting to copy the Buddhist scriptures, the messenger left a list and presented it all to the imperial front. If the emperor wanted to check whether it was true, he only had to send a person to any of the temples on the list to inquire about it, and he would know whether it was true or not.

The emperor didn't see a single Buddhist scripture, and his heart was already very useful, and he said to the prince: "Guanglu, this kid, has a lot of things to do every day, and what Buddhist scriptures do you bother to copy? I heard that he started copying from the first month, and it took him nine months to copy, and he kept copying day after day. If you are tired and your body is exhausted, won't it make us elders feel distressed? You send him a letter and tell him that he doesn't have to do this. His filial piety, which I know, is not in these gifts. ”

The prince smiled: "He has the heart to honor his father, and his father just accepts it." I think these two birthday gifts are better than the heart, although the child in Guanglu has to copy hard, and the cost is not large. He went to the fiefdom at a young age, and he didn't have a rich place, no one in the family took care of the family business for him, and he had to prepare gifts to send to Beijing every year, which was not easy. If his father feels sorry for him, it would be good to reward him with more affordable things, and let him live a more relaxed life. ”

The emperor waved his hand: "This is easy to do!" and casually rewarded Zhao Mo with two imperial villages, another 1,000 taels of silver, silk, study, official seals, and new books, etc., which can only be regarded as a match.

Because he was in such a good mood, when the emperor saw Zhao Shuo, he gave a rare good face, and said that he had done a good job on his errands recently, and asked him to work hard in the future.

Zhao Shuo's little heart was a little excited. He felt he had hope again. As the emperor's nephew who was once only one step away from the crown prince's throne, and the prince of the prince, Zhao Shuo has always felt that if he was not affected by the Wang family, and dragged back by his eccentric father and vicious stepmother and younger brothers, he would never have gotten into today's field. Even if the crown prince is unharmed, the emperor does not need to have a stepson, he can also become a powerful prince below the two and above ten thousand. It's a pity that his luck is too bad, and the people around him will only drag him down, and now that his holy family has been greatly reduced, what else can he expect from him?

However, now his eldest son Zhao Mo is very favored by the emperor, although he is not very obedient, he has not lost face for him. With this son to help, Zhao Shuo felt that it was not impossible for him to regain his holy favor. He no longer had the luxury of expecting to sit in that chair, as long as he could return to the glorious days before he lost power, which was favored by the emperor and the crown prince, it was enough. He began to feel that he was probably really too cold to his eldest son, and he still had to take Zhao Mo a good time.

To put it bluntly, seeing Zhao Mo giving the emperor such a heartfelt birthday gift, Zhao Shuo's heart was still a little sour. On his birthday, although Zhao Mo also gave him a gift, it could only be regarded as decent, and it was even a little too "affordable" - what kind of pickled game did Zhao Mo send, Suning's specialty furs, medicinal materials, rice paper, etc., as well as some fresh fruits, dried fruits, potted plants or something, several big cars are not worth much, but they are more than enough, anyone who looks at it has to say that his son is filial, in fact, it is far from the longevity paper screen. Even if he, Zhao Shuo, didn't dare to compare himself with the emperor, couldn't this kid also copy hundreds of Buddhist scriptures to pray for him? He is now unlucky, and he needs someone to pray for him to be a Buddha. Why is Zhao Mo more filial to the emperor and the crown prince than to his own father?

Zhao Mo didn't know anything about his father's thoughts, and sent a longevity gift to the palace, which was the main reason for him to send someone to Beijing this time, but what he really cared about was the letter he gave to Qin Hanzhen by the way.

Previously, because he knew that Qin Hanzhen was not in Beijing, although he sent a gift, he did not write any serious letters. Now that I heard that she had returned to Beijing, I naturally wanted to write a longer letter so that I could talk about my parting feelings. For such a long time, he couldn't receive a word from Qin Hanzhen, and he was tormented in his heart.

didn't know that Qin Hanzhen looked at the letter he wrote at this moment, and he wanted to beat people even more.

Zhao Mo's letter didn't write anything special, just like he used to write in the past, first greeted Qin Bai and Niu, and then asked Qin Hanzhen if he had a good time going south to Guangzhou, did he bring him a gift back? Did he collect interesting books or souvenirs, etc., etc., etc., this was the question that Qin Hanzhen always asked every time he went out and went home, which was an old practice. Even if he didn't ask, Qin Hanzhen would tell him.

After this old routine was finished, Zhao Mo talked about what he had been busy doing in the past few months, mainly about the birthday ceremony. The emperor and the crown prince felt sorry for his hard work in copying longevity characters and Buddhist scriptures, but he himself did not feel tired, but thought that such a birthday gift was not only decent, but also saved money, and he also practiced calligraphy by the way, which was very cost-effective. With his net worth, if he didn't win with his heart, how could the birthday gift offered be compared with other county kings with great careers?

After talking about the birthday ceremony, Zhao Mo mentioned the farmland experiment he was doing. In the past few years, he has carried out salt washing experiments on the land of Suning County, and has also tried to plant a lot of things, such as white willow, poplar, wolfberry and oriental cypress, and has also planted sugar beet for two consecutive years, and the harvest is not bad. He also built water conservancy in the fiefdom, which greatly improved the original farming environment of Suning County, and made him, the king of Suning County, have a great reputation in his own fiefdom.

In addition, Zhao Mo sends birthday gifts to Beijing three times a year, and on major festivals such as the New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival, he will also give the emperor and the queen mother a greeting on time. is so attentive, and he has done a good job in the fiefdom, even if Zhao Mo has not been to the capital once in more than three years, his sense of presence is also leveraged, and no one has forgotten him.

Of course, these things are not the reason why Qin Han really wants to beat people. The problem is that after Zhao Mo finished writing these serious contents, he actually changed his style of writing and talked about the rumors he had heard in Beijing, such as a young man from the Xu family who wanted to marry a noble daughter of the clan, but he vacillated between several royal palaces......

Qin Hanzhen didn't know where he heard about the so-called clan gossip, but she only heard from the Niu family two days ago about Xu Zheng's Xu Rong brother's intention to marry the daughter of the Qin family, and today she received a letter from Zhao Mo mentioning Xu Zheng's gossip, and she was slightly suspected of being black, how could she not be popular? Zhao Mo, this little bastard, could not have planted his eyes and ears in this Yongjiahou Mansion? Otherwise, how could he be so well-informed?!

Also, he just put his ears and eyes to inquire about the news, why did he mention Xu Zheng to her? Even if Xu Zheng really married a county lord or county lord, what does it have to do with her? It has nothing to do with him Zhao Mo! What did he say this in the letter? Could it be that she can still be fascinated by the so-called young man's aura, and treat Xu Zheng as a prince charming like other ladies in the capital?!

What a small underestimate!

Qin Han was really angry, and he wanted to tear up Zhao Mo's letter, but there was still more important content in front of his letter, which involved the experimental results of saline-alkali land treatment, and it would be bad if he tore it up, so he reluctantly dispelled this idea, folded the letter carefully, and put it in the rosewood box full of Zhao Mo's letters on Duobaoge.

She thought to herself, when she replied to the letter, she must scold Zhao Mo well. Just scolded him for talking nonsense about Xu Zheng's scandal in the letter, it has nothing to do with her! Moreover, Xu Zheng's grandmother, Mrs. Xu, is now a little stiff with the two rooms of the Qin family, and the Qin and Xu families may not be able to marry again, but it is just wishful thinking on the part of the Xu family. No matter how good Xu Zheng is, Qin Jinhua doesn't have to marry him, and Qin Jian can't marry Xu Xiu. And the three of them would not consider discussing with the Xu family at all. All those gossip rumors and gossip have no meaning at all!

Compared with...... Qin Hanzhen was more concerned about whether Zhao Mo had really planted people in the Yongjiahou Mansion. If so, she will definitely scold him well, and she will have to scold him in front of him if she has the chance!

Since he had arranged someone in the Yongjiahou Mansion, why did she have to send Li Zi to run this trip every time she sent him a letter? Sometimes her grandfather Qin Bai instructed Li Zi to do something, or Li Zi happened to go back to Jiangnan to visit relatives, and she couldn't send someone to Suning if she wanted to, not to mention how difficult it was. If he had known that he had someone in the mansion, wouldn't this problem have been solved a long time ago?

It's so damning!

Qin Hanzhen snorted a few times, and decided not to mention a word when he replied to the letter, not mentioning that Xu Zheng's possible marriage partner was Qin Jinhua instead of himself, and only said that the elders of the two rooms appreciated him very much, and told Zhao Mo to go in a hurry!
