Chapter Twenty-Nine: New Year's Goods
Father-in-law Deng was stunned.
"What does the emperor think of Lord Xiaowei?"
"Nope. Why did my father-in-law say this? Gao Shenghan looked at him in surprise.
Wei Lan was injured a few days ago to save the emperor, and now he is still recuperating in bed, and his internal and external injuries are not healed, but this time he has to be sent far away...... Could it be that the emperor is suddenly tired of Lan boy? Or was this opportunity specially arranged for him to experience? Gonggong Deng carefully observed the king's face and considered the wording.
"Lord Xiaowei was rescued by the emperor, and he is the most loyal to the emperor, if the emperor wants him to go, he will definitely go. It's just that his injuries ......"
Gao Shenghan realized. That's right, she forgot that the kid's wound broke open again when he fought with Meng Huai'an, and she went to recuperate with Yinbao. This time she suddenly mentioned Wei Lan, also because what the bastard boy said that night scared her, she just wanted to send him out for a few months, and even if there was something change when he came back, the gap between a few months should not make him fuss anymore. Although the situation was urgent at that time, Wei Lan also lied out of good intentions and tried to deceive Meng Huai'an, but what he said was all right! Could it be that he really doubted her identity in his heart at that time?
Although her body is absolutely real, and Gonggong Deng also approves of it, but the bad thing is that she really doesn't know martial arts or anything, and she has no internal strength!
Gao Shenghan glanced gloomily at Gonggong Deng.
Father-in-law Deng was excited, and he didn't know where to provoke the master, so he hurriedly appeased the master's emotions by changing the hot tea.
"If the master wants Lord Xiaowei to go out and practice, then let him go! This is also a favor to Lord Xiaowei. The slave is worried that Lord Xiaowei is reluctant to leave his master. Wei Lan is indeed dead set on his master, so he is relieved to put him next to his master to guard, this child is not a slave, not a master, and not a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and occasionally he can play with his master to make the master happy, the master has always been very generous to him, but he didn't have those messy thoughts.
"Forget it, Ming'er, you bring supplements and medicinal herbs to see how he recovers. By the way, I also gave a copy to Yinbao. Gao Shenghan waved his hand and motioned for him to step back, ending the conversation.
A few days later, entering the lunar month, all families began to get busy, preparing for the New Year. The palace is no exception.
During this time, tributes from all over the country were continuously sent to the capital, and even fresh game, vegetables, fruits, mountain delicacies and other things on the Huangzhuang were also delivered, which surprised Gao Shenghan a little.
It turned out that she was not so poor that she couldn't live well for years. She actually has a private Zhuangzi! There are also private farms!
Those live deer and goats, hares and caragana spores, are already rare good things, but I didn't expect that the steward of Zhuangzi actually sent a pair of live fire foxes, and a half-big leopard roaring in the cage!
Gao Shenghan had also been to the zoo to see these creatures in the original shijie, but he had not had such close contact. She also has pets at home, but they are lizards and parrots, docile, cute and well-behaved, and will not make a mess of the room, although she originally wanted to raise a leopard according to her meaning, but the person did not like it......
It turns out that he has always liked those docile and well-behaved things! Probably, also people?
Gao Shenghan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened them again, shaking off those distant memories.
Gonggong Deng watched his master revolving around those living creatures like a child, and his heart was full of spoiling, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with a king doing such an unsuitable thing. In his eyes, whatever the master wants to do, is right! Damn those untouchables who chew the root of their tongues!
As soon as his eyes swept away, the palace people who were waiting at the bottom of the cloister to listen to the king's orders immediately shrank their necks, not daring to say anything more.
Gao Shenghan turned around, and said a few words to the steward of Huangzhuang, learned about this year's harvest, and asked Jinbao to give the reward, and the steward happily took his subordinates away. Several Zhuangzi stewards who were originally worried went out of the palace gate and wiped their sweat one after another.
"Fortunately, when I came, Steward Ge gave us a pair of fire foxes and a baby leopard, otherwise it would be really difficult to enter the palace this time." It's not that game is hard to find, it's really not easy to catch these animals alive. A man who was originally wearing a wide hat of dog skin got into the carriage and immediately took off his hat and threw it into the corner, found a ferret fur hat from his luggage and put it on.
Zhao Qing, the chief steward of Huangzhuang, casually threw the silver rewarded by Long Live to the coachman, left his purse and tucked it on the soft deer belt around his waist, and then leaned against the wall of the car and exhaled comfortably, and said lazily: "Take people short." Then Steward Ge could have personally sent those beasts up to win the favor of his master, but he didn't do that? ”
Another man who changed out of his padded jacket and put on a fox fur coat also asked: "Yes, what can he do in front of Bixia with a long face, he doesn't do it?" ”
Zhao Qing sneered: "Isn't it for the 800 acres of fertile land next to our Zhuangzi?" ”
In recent years, because the emperor is not a big director, the land annexation in the suburbs of Beijing is serious, and many real estate are owned by various families, but there are 800 acres of high-quality land vacated next to the emperor's village, which is copied from the home of a corrupt official, and it has not been dealt with, but it has not been incorporated into the palace, and the master of the Ge steward wants to buy it, as long as he goes to the palace to dredge it, it is not that he can't sell it...... When the emperor asked, at most he sold it, and the silver money was folded into the inner treasury, how could the emperor think of it? It's just cheaper to convert it to Steward Ge, and he will take some benefits from it, hello, I'm good, everyone, haode things, just do it quietly, and no one will sue you.
Zhao Qing thought that he had another extra income, and several second stewards also knew that they would get another benefit, so they were all happy, and they all walked out of the city talking and laughing all the way.
Here, before Gao Shenghan's joy passed, he was troubled again.
"Father-in-law, according to the old practice, should I distribute these things and reward them?"
It's almost the New Year, every family has filial piety, and the tributes from all over the country have also been put into the warehouse in the past few days.
Thinking about the balance in her inner treasury account book, Gao Shenghan's heart twitched. What's more, when you become an emperor, you have to be courteous! Don't think that the whole world is hers, she wants to win over and appease the minister at any time.
"The master will keep everything he likes, and leave the rest to Grandpa Zhang." Gonggong Zhang is the head of the palace's internal affairs and takes care of the emperor's private treasury. Gao Gonggong is in charge of personnel and dispatches and deploys personnel. He only cares about the emperor's side affairs.
Father-in-law Deng proudly straightened his belly.
Gao Shenghan was wondering whether to move the pair of foxes and leopards to the backyard of his dormitory, and he didn't want a purple and red figure behind him to pounce on him enchantingly.
