Qi Yue was very effective, but in a few days, he had enough money for disaster relief.

In fact, a very important reason for the lack of surplus in the household department is that the money in the treasury has been borrowed by ministers, royal relatives and nobles.

Today's minister borrowed a few hundred taels, and tomorrow's prince borrowed a few thousand taels, borrowing more from the outside and paying back less, and after a long time, the treasury will naturally be empty.

As soon as Qi Yue came up, the first thing he did was to ask for debts, and he asked for them from door to door. Some of the emperor's relatives cheated, but they didn't pay it back, thinking that Qi Yue couldn't do anything to them.

But Qi Yue sent people to knock on the gongs and shouts with the money from the doors of the people who didn't pay back the gongs and drums, calling them to pay back.

The people in the capital are all people with heads and faces, and they are afraid of losing face if they have a good face, so they are fighting to go to the household department one by one to make up for the debts.

The matter of the money and silver in the previous dynasty was solved, but Jiao Niang was very annoyed in the harem, and the second old lady of the South Courtyard of the Hua family came to Beijing, and took the third lady to ask to see Jiao Niang.

A few days ago, Su Qingyin entered the palace and conveyed the words of the old lady, the second old lady went to Beijing this time for a purpose, one is to let Jiao Niang arrange an errand for her eldest grandson, and the other is about Qian Niang, Qian Niang has lived in Ganlu Temple since Yinghua's death, and she has written to her family many times to ask for help.

They had no way before, but the second old lady saw that now Jiao Niang had become the queen, so her mind was lively.

Jiao Niang just wants to live a quiet life, and she hates that someone makes trouble for her, so she is very annoyed.

But the post has been handed over, and it can't be seen, so it's a good relative.

The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, and Jiao Niang thinks that it is too early to see them, so she will summon them to the palace on this day.

Zhaohua Hall is magnificent, even if the South Courtyard is the richest man in Licheng, the family is rich, but the wealth of the palace is not described by money, the second old lady with the third lady, and Hua Junzhi came together, Hua Junzhi looked left and right, while marveling at the golden splendor of the palace, while looking at the palace maid with lustful eyes.

There were also the old lady and Su Qingyin, the old lady saw that Hua Junzhi was so rude, she was disdainful in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but glance at her. Seeing this, the second old lady was unhappy, but now the opponent is the queen's grandmother, who is under the eaves, and has to bow her head, so she has to endure the white eyes of the old lady, and quietly tug Hua Junzhi to remind him to be dignified.

"See the queen mother, the queen mother is happy and happy. ”

Jiao Niang smiled and shouted, "No need to be polite, get up quickly." Wu Dan picked up the old lady, and Jiao Niang smiled: "I have told my grandmother several times that there is no outsider and there is no need to make this big gift, but my grandmother always does not listen." ”

The old lady smiled: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, this is the rule." ”

The second old lady glanced at her eyes slightly, she specially said it to her.

The second old lady showed a reluctant expression when she saluted just now. She thinks that Jiao Niang is a junior, and now she wants to salute a junior, and she feels uncomfortable.

Jiao Niang had already seen the reluctance of the second old lady, smiled calmly, and asked them to bring them a stool to sit on.

As soon as the second old lady sat down, she praised Jiao Niang, "When I first saw Jiao Niang, I said that this child must have great blessings in the future, but don't let me say it accurately." Now Jiao Niang is the queen, the glory of the ancestors, and even we have light on our faces in Licheng. ”

Jiao Niang smiled and took a sip of tea, which was not what she said before.

As soon as the second old lady finished the last sentence, the third lady followed the next sentence with flattery: "No, if you want to say that we have a few generations of the Hua family, the most blessed one is Jiao Niang." Now everyone outside says that what is the use of giving birth to a son, it is better to give birth to a daughter, and after giving birth to a daughter, she will enter the palace as a queen and princess, and the whole family will follow the glory. Look at the Hua family, that is an example, the queen's father became the marquis, and the queen's brothers are also high-ranking officials in the court, which is really envious of others. ”

Jiao Niang raised her eyes to look at her, smiled, and said, "The third aunt said that she was laughing." ”

The third lady squinted her eyes and smiled: "Where is it a joke, the capital is a person who has attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, who doesn't know that the emperor loves the queen, and listens to the queen for everything." ”

Jiao Niang smiled without saying a word, scraped the tea lid and drank tea.

The third lady looked at Jiao Niang's reaction, glanced at her mother-in-law, and made her eyes color.

The second old lady rolled her eyes and said, "Jiao Niang, the second grandmother has something to ask you for when she enters Beijing this time." "She's not beating around the bush anymore.

Jiao Niang pretended not to know, and asked, "Oh, I don't know what is the matter with the second old lady? I am useless, and I don't know if I can help." ”

"Yes, yes, surely. The second old lady hurriedly said, she looked at Junzhi and said, "Junzhi, your third uncle has found him an official position in Licheng, but you also know that in that small place in Licheng, when will your cousin Zhizhi get through." Therefore, the second grandmother wants to beg you to find him an errand in the capital. ”

smiled, "It doesn't need to be a big official, but at least it looks decent." Not for anything else, but for you. If outsiders see that the queen's cousin is not decent, won't it be a shame for you. ”

The old lady held the tea, heard the words, and hummed lightly, and a layer of ripples appeared on the surface of the tea water.

Nor do they look at the virtues of their own grandsons.

She has nothing to be proud of, but it's these grandchildren who make her face golden. Don't talk about Jiao Niang, it's Junyi Junze Junxiang, which one doesn't give her a long face?

Look at the grandson of the second old lady, he is famous for his misery in Licheng, and he is still a treasure.

She took a look at Jiao Niang and listened to her: "It turned out that she was asking for an official, but this is all a matter of the previous dynasty, and I said that I would not call the shots." ”

The second old lady saw that Jiao Niang had the intention of prevaricating, her face showed displeasure, the corners of her mouth drooped slightly, and she smiled and said: "This is a joke, the emperor listens to you the most, and you say a word." ”

Jiao Niang's smile seemed to have a layer of light veil, "The second grandmother said simply, but the imperial court has the imperial court system, and the recruitment of court officials is discussed by the emperor and the minister, how can I be a woman?"

The old lady stared at the second old lady and said, "The Great Qin Dynasty has rules, and the harem can't interfere in politics, aren't you embarrassed by the queen." ”

"Where do I embarrass her?" The second old lady was obviously unhappy, her face drooped, and her right palm slapped the back of her left hand one by one, and said in a weird manner: "Isn't it just to ask her to arrange an errand for our Junzhi, is it so difficult? I didn't ask for a big official like your Junze Junyi." Oh, in the end, there is a layer of separation, but it doesn't work, she opened her mouth, and arranged important positions for her brother and cousin, and it became difficult to be a petty official when she came to our family Junzhi. ”

The old lady was annoyed, "What are you talking about, you mean that Junyi Junze relies on nepotism?"

The second old lady snorted, "Who doesn't say that." ”

The old lady was angry and was about to get angry, but Jiao Niang said, "Who said that? You bring that person to me, and I will listen to him." ”

The second old lady saw that Jiao Niang's face was not good, and she was afraid that she was the queen, and she still had something to ask, so she restrained herself a little and said, "Hey, I also heard people talk about it." ”

Jiao Niang glanced at her and said: "Cousin Ze was already a pillar of the country when the first emperor was there, and was valued by the first emperor, and my eldest brother was also promoted by his own efforts. Don't say these things again in the future, if others don't know about it, forget it, you are a member of the Hua family. ”
