In Kunning Palace, Queen Zhou asked people to set up a table of dim sum, and almost ordered everything that could be done in the sweet room. Empress Zhang also put down the scriptures and wooden fish, drove over, and asked Kun Xing to accompany her, to chat with the bride about family life.

The Duan family naturally knew that Lu Dao was filial to his mother-in-law, and he also knew the status of Empress Zhang in the harem, so he naturally dared not offend Kun Xing's sister-in-law. Although the elder and sister-in-law are very kind and take care of them a lot, they are still very nervous. She was waiting for news before, but she didn't have a chance to meet the two queens, Zhou and Zhang.

"I heard that Brother Chun has to get it late every night?" Zhou asked with a smile.

"The master only sleeps almost every day, so ...... It's a little late. Duan's face was flushed, and he just stared at the table, as if he was talking to a table of dim sum.

"Be careful." Zhou Hou persuaded.

"Yes, the concubine saves."

"This is a major event in the temple, don't be shy." Empress Zhang said with a smile: "Now in the inner palace, the big things can't catch up with this. Only by giving birth to the emperor's grandson can the country's social security become more and more stable. ”

"Yes......" Duan responded, but said in his heart: My sister-in-law is still here......

"Kunxing is going to get married at the end of the year, so it's okay to listen." Zhou Hou seemed to be able to see through Duan's thoughts.

But it's no wonder, who let the Duan family put everything on his face, even if he didn't speak, he revealed what he thought in his heart cleanly.

"Actually, the master is only once a night, but he knows moderation. It's just too long-lasting......" Duan said with courage.

"Ahem, it goes without saying." Zhou Hou coughed lightly and interrupted Duan.

Duan almost cried: No wonder they all say that mother-in-law is the most difficult to serve, can you say it?

Zhou Hou beckoned Aunt Liu and said, "You go and talk to Wang Chengen, and find two chamberlains who are proficient in medicinal food to serve with the crown prince." Seeing that the sky is going to be cold again. ”

Aunt Liu came out in response.

Zhang Hou asked: "Brother Chun didn't come to Dingxing Province for the past two days, and went there again?" ”

"Where can I know about him?" Zhou Hou sighed and looked at Duan: "Did he tell you?" ”

It's okay not to ask this, but when I asked, Duan's family was even more sad: "The concubine is not liked by the master, and even in the palace, she can't say a few words." ”

"Don't be sad about the imperial sister-in-law, it's because you haven't touched the temperament of the imperial brother yet." Kun Xing said proudly: "You have to take the initiative to find something to talk to him." Otherwise, he can't do his own business, where can he have time to talk to you? ”

"I'm a woman, what do you want to say?" Duan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, looked at his sister-in-law for help, and was about to serve tea to apprentice.

"Forget about the wind and snow, I haven't seen Brother Chun laugh in seventeen years." Kun Xing looked like an old qualification, and passed on his experience: "You have to tell him the right thing." ”

Zhou Hou was startled when he heard that it was a "political matter", and hurriedly interrupted his daughter: "What nonsense! The concubine is not allowed to pre-govern. You can't even ask! ”

"Queen Mother, what my daughter said is serious...... Kun Xing hurriedly explained, and then turned to Duan's and said: "For example, there are always accounts in your palace, those messy tables are all made by the imperial brother, you can ask him." ”

"The master has already taught it, and the concubine can still remember it." Duan said regretfully.

"Sister-in-law has a good memory." Kun Xing said, adding in his heart: It's just too stupid...... "Where can you grasp the essence after listening to it once?" If I had changed it, I would have asked seventeen or eighteen times a day. Isn't that what to say? "Kun Xing is at the age of a good teacher, and he can't help but teach the secret method.

Duan suddenly realized. Seeing that Zhou Hou and Zhang Hou both smiled and did not object, they understood what their mother said: "My daughter's house is made of water, and what I want is the kung fu of water drops and stones." ”

"Also, Brother Chun likes the magic skills of the Mo family, have you read "The Examination of Work"?" Kun Xing asked.

Duan shook his head.

"What about Dream Creek Writings?"

Duan hesitated slightly: "I've heard of this." ”

Kun Xing shook his head: "I've always heard of "Heavenly Creation", right?" Song Yingxing is now a professor at Huangming Jingshi University and is very valued by the imperial brother. ”

Duan shook his head slightly.

"And what books do you read?" Kun Xing asked helplessly.

"The sons of the pre-Qin Dynasty. Han and Wei Wenfu, Tang and Song poems ......"

"These are the most useless." Kun Xing said impatiently: "It's really not good, you can find the emperor's book to read." ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to understand ......," Duan said cautiously.

"It's good that you can't understand it, and even if you do, you have to pretend that you don't understand, alas. You really don't understand. Kun Xing said helplessly.

Zhou Hou took Kun Xing's hand and slapped it gently, and said with a smile: "You understand!" Where did I learn this old pious woman? ”

Outside the palace, of course, Kun Xing quickly stuck out his tongue.

After a week, it suddenly changed color.

Zhang Hou was also surprised when he saw it.

Duan Shi hung her head and didn't see it, and when she looked up, the scene had already passed, just watching the two queens change color and be a little confused.

Zhou Hou let go of Kun Xing's hand, his voice was cold, and he shouted, "Discipline the female officer!" ”

Kun Xingzhi said that he had just gotten carried away, and he actually brought the habits outside the palace to the palace, and he made a well-behaved appearance at the moment, not daring to speak. Her aunt stepped forward tremblingly, saluted the second queen, and waited for it to fall.

"Who does the princess associate with outside the palace? Do you ignore it? Learn such a lowly state, what is the use of your aunt to discipline! Zhou Hou scolded sharply.

Seeing that the mother-in-law who was still kind just now suddenly became furious, her face was covered with frost, and the entire Kunning Palace seemed to be frozen, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

"Niangniang, it's just that the princess is out and has dealings with foreign ministers and daughters, but she is still walking with female officials, palace maids, and lowly servants of unknown origin. The old slave persuaded and begged, but the princess really refused to obey the discipline, and the old slave was helpless. The distancing lady cried in her vocal cords.

Zhou Hou did not change his face, and reprimanded: "Since you can't discipline the princess, why don't you come to me!" Distinct quibble! Come on, drag it down, slap your mouth! ”

The female official of Kunning Palace immediately called the eunuch to drag the female correctional officer down, took a two-finger-wide ring ruler, and pulled it on the cheek of the female correctional official. Every time he hit, there was a crimson blood mark, and after three or five feet, the woman's mouth was full of blood, and it was scary to look at.

Kunxing already hated this mother-in-law very much, and just now she sued in person and deserved to be beaten. But seeing that her mouth was full of blood, and remembering that she had been by her side all these years, she couldn't help but feel unbearable. Kun Xing left his seat and knelt down, and said, "The queen mother spared her, it's her daughter's fault." My daughter doesn't learn all the mess out there anymore. ”

Zhou Hou glanced at her daughter fiercely, and then stopped: "Let her out of the palace, and don't enter the palace again." ”

"! The old slave won't leave! "The discipline aunt is not afraid of being beaten, and she can endure it without screaming. At this time, I heard that I was going to drive her out of the palace, but I was out of proportion and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Where will I pay attention to her after the week.

The surrounding eunuchs would not let her be abrupt here, and at that moment, the two powerful eunuchs drove her left and right and dragged her out. The female officer on the side was afraid that she would shout again, so she had already taken a handkerchief and stuffed it into her mouth.

Kun Xing knelt on the ground, didn't dare to say a word, and looked at Duan again, asking her for help.

Duan's scalp was numb when Kun Xing's pitiful eyes saw it, and he didn't dare to brush his mother-in-law's tiger whiskers, but also remembered Kun Xing's teaching just now, so he simply turned his heart sideways, got up and knelt beside Kun Xing.

Zhou Hou raised her eyebrows, and was about to have a seizure, but Zhang Hou had already taken the first step to pull Duan up, and said: "The middle palace lady controls the palace ban, and others can't say much." With that, he pulled Duan out of the way.

Duan glanced back at Kun Xing, and saw that Kun Xing was also looking at her with tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, and he didn't know what punishment she would receive, and his heart seemed to be pinched.

Empress Zhang pulled the Duan family outside the Kunning Palace before letting go, and educated: "The middle palace Niangniang is the mother of a country, who dares to speak when she disciplines her?" Even the emperor can't interfere here. Kun Xing did something wrong, and naturally he should be punished. When you go to see her afterwards, it is your sister-in-law's affection, and when you plead for her in this mouth, it is an offense to the prestige of the middle palace, and you have to bring it in together. ”

Duan's family said yes, but he still didn't know what mistake Sister-in-law Lu Dao had made, and he became more and more afraid of this palace that was to blame at every turn.

"Go to the side and sit down, wait for Kunxing to receive the punishment, go in and say goodbye and go back." Empress Zhang made it clear to Duan, and then drove back to the palace.

Duan sat in the palace for a while, and a female official quietly came in and said that the princess had received the punishment, and the queen's anger subsided. She went over to say goodbye, but she was sent away without even seeing Zhou Hou, who was obviously beating her in this way.

At this moment, the Duan clan felt that the world was extremely cold, and she recalled the story that the crown prince told her that day, and now it tastes like a warm breeze.

- When will Your Highness return!

When Duan returned to Zhong Cui Palace, his side and heart were empty.

……

Zhu Cihong did not go far. He just went to Tongzhou with the directors of the newly established bank.

Tongzhou is located at the north end of the Grand Canal, with convenient transportation, and is the place where the goods of Jingshi are distributed. With the keen eyes of the children of a merchant family, Jiang Chen took a fancy to this treasure land, hoping to put the headquarters of the newly born Imperial Bank here.

To be precise, it is Miao County under the jurisdiction of Tongzhou.

Miao County is forty-five miles south of Tongzhou, which is a suburb of Beijing. In the Han Dynasty, it was Yongnu County, which belonged to Yuyang County. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was Miaozhou, and after entering the Ming Dynasty, it was reduced to a county and belonged to Tongzhou. Among the states and counties along the canal, Miao County is an outlier because it is too poor.

The so-called draught depends on water, and it is precisely by relying on the water of the canal that the states and counties along the canal can become rich. And Miao County is at the bottom of the eight counties in Jingdong because of too much water.

It can be seen from the word "Miao" that the entire county seat of Miaoxian County is surrounded by water, and the transportation is inconvenient, so it is naturally impossible to develop. The land is not only barren, but also saline-alkali land, and every spring drought, a layer of salt can be scraped out of the ground, which is not suitable for growing crops. Therefore, most of the people here live by fishing, and because there is no permanent production, they are equivalent to bandits in the eyes of the government.

These various disadvantages and inconveniences are precisely the reasons why Jiang Chen chose this place. (To be continued......)
