This morning, Zeng Rong flipped through about two stacks of folds, and put the urgent ones that he thought were important on the table, and the rest were placed separately according to categories.

These two stacks of memorabilia are related to military affairs, as well as local officials, official promotions, year-end accounts, tributes from various countries and requests for marriage, and even rebellions, and so on.

Zeng Rong has more than a year of experience as a historian, and it is not difficult to deal with it, through these twists and turns, she has a clearer understanding of some of the operation processes and methods of the imperial court, and also peeks into the handling methods and evaluation criteria of some local government affairs.

During this period, Zhu Xu will also test her opinion on a certain matter, if she agrees, she will nod, otherwise, she will show Zeng Rong the folds he has reviewed, and point out Zeng Rong's shortcomings.

At this point, Zeng Rong believes that the emperor is definitely consciously cultivating her, as for why he chose her instead of Zhu Heng, the answer is also easy to find, because she has a big goal, and Zhu Heng has too big a goal.

Rao is like this, Zeng Rong also found that the female historian of the Inner Court Bureau did not appear in the upper study, most of them were directly on vacation, and there were few eunuchs in the upper study, after she came in, only Chang Gonggong was left.

She had wanted to refuse such a good thing before, and it seemed that she had really been kicked in the head by a donkey.

In the next few days, Zeng Rong basically entered Qianning Palace at the same time, used breakfast in Qianning Palace, and went to Chuhua Palace for dinner to accompany Zhu Heng.

Zhu Xu's dinner is generally not used in Qianning Palace, either to Kunning Palace or to Cining Palace, and occasionally to stay in Kunning Palace, it is reported that Zhu Shen, the tenth prince, is very dependent on him.

This Chinese New Year's Eve, considering that it may be the last year she can reunite with her family, she took three days off and returned to her home in Nanqing Hutong on the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Ouyang Si was also invited to the house for the New Year, when Zeng Rong took Ah Chun back, Ouyang Si and Zeng Guixiang were sticking couplets and hanging lanterns at the door, and when they saw Zeng Rong appearing at the entrance of the alley, Zeng Guixiang threw down the things in his hand and ran over to greet her.

"I'm talking to Brother Ouyang about the lack of someone, but it just so happens that you are here, come, second brother to see, whether my sister has grown taller or become more beautiful." Zeng Guixiang said as he pretended to look at Zeng Rong.

"Okay, what is poor, but I haven't seen you for three months, and you should be three years." Zeng Rong said as he delivered the two packages in his hand to the other party.

While speaking, the three of them arrived in front of Ouyang Si, Zeng Rong bowed to Ouyang Si, Ouyang Siqing smiled lightly, "Just waiting for you, Ah Hua has been talking to you all morning." ”

"Oh, can you guess I'm back today?" Zeng Rong was slightly surprised, because she hadn't revealed the slightest rumor in advance.

"I guess." Ouyang Si said as he was going to pick up the package in Ah Chun's hand, Ah Chun shook his head busily, and he carried the package into the house familiarly.

After a while, the curtain of the door was lifted, and a small figure ran out of the room quickly, almost hanging directly on Zeng Rong's body, and then a round little man crawled out from behind, Zeng Nian, who was just over a year old, had just learned to walk, and was not very stable.

"Where's the eldest brother and sister-in-law?" Zeng Rong let go of Ah Hua and stepped forward to pick up Ah Nian.

"I can't spare my hands, I'm busy making sesame candy, and I'm boiling sugar." Ah Hua said.

"Oh, big brother learned this?" Zeng Rong asked casually.

"Don't you remember, wasn't it always the eldest brother who helped my father at home before?" Zeng Guixiang asked suspiciously.

"Oh, the eldest sister hasn't celebrated the New Year with us for several years, and I didn't think about it for a while, the customs of the New Year in the capital are different from those in my hometown." Ah Hua took the words for Zeng Rong.

Zeng Rong realized that he had said the wrong thing and almost showed his stuff.

"Not to mention the food, I forgot about it, I brought you a few snacks from the palace." Zeng Rong hurriedly changed the topic and entered the house with Ah Nian in his arms.

The hall was quite lively, Ziluo and her mother were making dumplings with Chen, Zeng Guixiang was making sesame candy with Ziluo and her father, seeing Zeng Rong, Chen spread out her hands full of flour, and said to Zeng Rong apologetically: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I didn't mean to treat you slowly, but I can't let go of my hands." ”

"What my sister-in-law said, I'm not an outsider, besides, our Ah Nian went out to pick me up, that's enough." After Zeng Rong finished speaking, he kissed Ah Nian, who was tiger-headed.

may be because he didn't become a mother in his previous life, Ah Rong has an instinctive closeness to children, especially his nephew who is very close to his blood.

"What are these words? Doesn't seem like I was going to pick you up. Zeng Guixiang rolled his eyes at Zeng Rong.

"Second brother is really careful, has the work outside been done?" Ah Hua asked.

"Hey, my little sister is so choked today, she can't get along with me." After Zeng Guixiang put down the package in his hand, he flicked it on Zeng Hua's head with his free hand.

"Eldest sister, you see, the second brother bullies again, and he knows how to bully me all the time." Ah Hua pouted and said coquettishly.

Zeng Rong rarely saw Ah Hua have this little action, in his impression, although Ah Hua has also been coquettish with her a few times, but there are very few small movements such as pouting and pouting, presumably it is a child who has been pretending to be a child in the past two years, and he has accepted this fact from body to mind.

In fact, Zeng Rong also knows that the real reason is that life is better, some people love her and some people spoil her.

Just like herself, when she first entered the palace, she was eager to engrave the words and deeds on her head, but later she entered the inner chamberlain, relying on the emperor's tolerance and protection, her temperament became more and more open, and she gradually let go of the past, and was at ease to be a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.

"Don't, I don't dare to bully you, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are biased, no matter what it is, it's all my fault." After Zeng Guixiang finished speaking, he pulled Ouyang Si and ran out with a smile, and the couplets and lanterns outside had not yet been made.

"Ah Rong, this mess, you go and sit in the house, there will be sesame candy to eat in a while." Zeng Fuxiang interjected at this time.

"Okay." Zeng Rong said as he carried Ah Nian into the east room, and Ah Chun had already put a few packages they had brought on the kang and opened two of them, both of which were for food.

Zeng Rong put down Ah Nian and asked Ah Hua about Mrs. Xu and Master Xu, she planned to visit them tomorrow.

"Eldest sister, Brother Ouyang seems to have something on his mind these days." Ah Hua suddenly said something that had no beginning or end.

"Maybe it's the first time I've come out for the New Year, and I can't rest assured that I can't leave my widowed mother at home." After Zeng Rong finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and Ah Hua's words seemed to mean something.

Could it be that the Qian family made a request, Ouyang Si didn't know how to choose, or was there something else?

But how should Zeng Rong explain this matter to Ah Hua?
