"Love on a rainy day" is a good comrade, and the two catties of pork he honors us are particularly good, so he can let the Shangshan supervisor take more care of it.

.......

Her Royal Highness the princess has put the concubine in order, and Father-in-law Wei slept very soundly in the princess's mansion this night.

Practice has proved that women either don't do things, and once they do, they are very good.

Poor Cui Yingyuan and they didn't see Father-in-law Wei come out for a long time, and they didn't dare to leave without permission, so they had to stay in the gatehouse of the princess's mansion for a night. Dozens of big men were together, squeezed a little, but they didn't feel cold.

At dawn the next day, the rooster crowed three times, and Grandpa Wei got up.

Shou Ning served him to wash as if he was a little daughter-in-law, which made Father-in-law Wei, who had been running around for state affairs all the year round and didn't even have his own small family, almost impulsively prepared to support the princess to remarry, and used a huge amount of money to give the princess the surname Wei De.

However, he knew it was unrealistic.

No matter how much Wanli loves money, he won't even want his face, his daughter got along with a fake eunuch and gave birth to a child, and he can't stand this matter on any emperor.

Looking at Shou Ning's happy face again, his father-in-law really didn't know what to do, so he could only sigh secretly.

Most of the eunuchs in charge of the house, He Chong, and the female official surnamed Song were also silenced, otherwise it would be impossible for them to remain silent after seeing Grandpa Wei, and there was no look of surprise and confusion at all, as if Grandpa Wei had not stayed in the princess's bedroom last night.

The hour was not early, and Gonggong Wei, who was thinking of rescuing the second uncle, and Shou Ning confessed a few words and prepared to enter the palace.

Shou Ning hugged Qi'er over, the little guy woke up early, wearing a small padded jacket, wearing a tiger head hat, shaking his head very cute, and the eyebrows and demeanor were a bit of the true biography of his father-in-law, which made his father-in-law very happy, and he was busy hugging and coaxing for a while, and then he reluctantly put it down.

Before leaving, Shou Ning said something, but the twenty-seventh of the next month is Qi'er's first birthday, and according to folk customs, a first birthday banquet will be held.

"You have to take your father and brother over, Qi'er is almost a year old, you can't have seen your grandfather and uncle yet." Shou Ning really regarded herself as the wife of the Wei family, not the daughter-in-law of the Ran family, and even her tone and speech completely changed.

"Good, good, wanted, wanted."

The father-in-law squeaked twice and responded first, but secretly thought that this girl's disappointment was crazy and he was cured quickly, otherwise he would definitely have to poke out a big basket for him.

On Cui Yingyuan and the guards, He Chong had already asked someone to prepare breakfast. When the father-in-law passed, the big men had just finished eating, and they got up one after another when they saw the father-in-law coming.

"Father-in-law!"

Cui Yingyuan bowed and saluted, not daring to ask more than half a sentence, and Father-in-law Wei stayed in the princess's mansion yesterday.

Gonggong Wei instructed him: "You go back to Dongchang and tell Gonggong Li that we are back, and ask Gonggong Li to go to the Catholic Church in Xuanwumen today, and tell the person in charge there that the Archbishop Church of Pang Maichen has come in the near future and ask them to prepare for the reception." ”

The Catholic Church of Xuanwumen, which is often called the South Church by the people of Beijing, is the first Catholic church in Beijing built by Matteo Ricci with the special approval of the emperor in the 33rd year of Wanli, and it is also the first Catholic church in the north.

This church not only undertakes the missionary mission of the Catholic Church in Beijing, but also serves as the branch of the Jesuit Society in Macau. Every year, missionaries from Macao come to Nantang, and there are now more than 20 priests, and the number of believers is unknown.

Grandpa Wei has been canonized by Pope Paul V as a purple-clothed archbishop of the Catholic Church, ruling the Eastern Diocese, so this South Church can also be said to be the territory of Grandpa Wei.

Earlier, in the name of conquering the evil forces of the shogunate, the father-in-law had ordered Stellone, Guo Jujing and others to send a letter to Long Huamin in Macao, asking him to raise 100,000 taels of silver to dredge the emperor, so as to allow Archbishop Pang Maichen to lead the Ming Dynasty's army to conquer Japan.

In other words, these 100,000 taels are actually the money that Catholics paid for the Ming Imperial Army.

After receiving the letter, Long Huamin was very reluctant to be deprived of his power, but the Pope's expectations and pressure forced him to obey the new Archbishop of the East. He knew that if he resisted the Oriental, the new Eastern bishop would remove him from the presidency without pressure from the Holy See.

Therefore, Long Huamin was still very cooperative, and the Jesuits in Macau basically received the tasks given by Wei Gongbus, such as mobilizing believers from all over the country to collect donations, recruit people with military skills, and purchase weapons and equipment. Everything is not bad.

The huge amount of money used to dredge the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was also transported to the north in multiple batches, and the cashier was the south hall at the Xuanwu Gate. But how much silver was transported from Macau, Grandpa Wei didn't know very well, because he hadn't met Guo Jujing and them recently.

The three caves of the cunning rabbit, about this silver, Gonggong Wei didn't dare to mention a word to Shou Ning.

His old man still has a certain amount of means and perseverance in hiding money, which can be seen from the fact that Her Royal Highness the princess tried all her best in bed to make his old man confide in half of his words.

In addition, Xiao Jiujiu, everyone will have it.

The father-in-law is still more cunning.

The father-in-law told Shou Ning that he would "buy" her father with 100,000 taels, but in fact, the psychological price of the father-in-law was 50,000 taels.

Fifty thousand taels, do you want it, your emperor will do it!

For the Chinese New Year, it's better to have this money than nothing.

No matter how your emperor is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, you can't help but force your face to always catch him Wei Gonggong alone to gather wool.

Bald, did it yesterday?

Therefore, the 50,000 taels of silver tickets in his pocket made his father-in-law full of confidence in rescuing the second uncle, and he went to the imperial city with confidence.

When I arrived at Xihuamen, I handed over the sign and waited for Hou Chuan. It didn't take long for an attendant to come and announce that he had entered the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor.

The place of the audience is in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, which is also the emperor's bedroom.

"Slave maid Wei Gonggong knocks to see Your Majesty!"

After Gonggong Wei entered the hall, he bowed and bowed to Wanli, which was a common ceremony.

The highest etiquette of the Ming Dynasty is five bows and three bows, which is only used to pass on the national book and respect heaven and earth.

But when an angel comes, he shall bow five times and bow three times. Three kneels and nine knocks are things made by the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, not a Chinese gift.

Wanli, who was watching with a piece of music in his hand, didn't raise his head and said, "You're back?" ”

"Well, the slave is back."

Father-in-law Wei had an excited expression on his face when he finally saw the holy face again.

"Come back, come back, what's the matter in the middle of the night?"

Wanli's eyes were still looking at the note.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty knows it. ”

Father-in-law Wei was shocked.

"What do you say?" Wanli didn't raise his eyelids.

Grandpa Wei didn't dare to speak.

Wanli put down the song, and finally looked at the person squarely, he snorted: "Do you know everything about Li Jinzhong?" ”

Gonggong Wei hurriedly nodded: "I know." ”

"The problem is serious and the nature is very bad." Wanli slapped the table in anger.

"The slave knows."

Father-in-law Wei is sincerely afraid.

"It's good to know... Did you bring any money? ”

"With... Bring. ”

Wanli's words changed so quickly that Gonggong Wei, who was good at moving people with emotion, was very caught off guard.

"How much?"

Wanli's waist straightened unconsciously, and his eyes also showed a slight look of expectation.

Gonggong Wei only felt that his left eyelid was beating badly, and quickly reported the number: "Your Majesty, the slave maid brought 10,000 taels." ”

"Get out!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."
