Lilac was shocked and wanted to say that there was no such old practice in the East Palace, but then she thought that the East Palace was because there was no crown princess, so Li Chun's younger brothers were raised by their biological mothers, and the same was true in the Daming Palace. In a hurry, he said: "Mrs. is young and has never given birth, but I am afraid that I don't know how to take care of the child, and the child is very noisy, I am afraid that I will disturb Mrs., but it is a ...... sin."

Nian Yun laughed secretly in his heart, who told you to be willing to be a gunman, this time I know that it is too late to be in a hurry.

She raised her eyebrows and smiled: "What's this, isn't it the first time that Sister Ji has given birth, and she can't just learn it!" When I came over, my mother also picked a lot of mothers-in-law who knew how to give birth to and raise in the princess's mansion, and my sister could rest assured, naturally it was no worse than yours. Besides, I think the house is too deserted, and many children are lively! ”

Fennel teased the little bun and said with a smile: "Isn't it, there must be a child in the house, I heard that the little boy is the best at recruiting brothers!" ”

There is indeed a saying among the people that it is easy to have a son if you raise a little boy in the house first.

Fennel said this, if the Ji family still doesn't let go, is it because he doesn't want the lady of the main room to have children!

Nianyun deliberately reprimanded Fennel: "The little hooves are becoming more and more unruly, this is the East Palace, the master speaks, where is your turn to open your mouth!" ”

Fennel hurriedly confessed and continued to take the little bun to the side to play. Ding Xiang looked at Li Chun, and saw that Li Chun didn't speak, knowing that it was irretrievable, but she was still unwilling: "There is nothing unwilling, but Ning'er, this child has some bad problems, and I don't know if I can't live ......it."

Nianyun didn't speak, and Fennel teased the little bun on the side: "There are many, many delicious foods, if Ning'er is obedient and obedient, my aunt will give it to Ning'er to eat, do you like Mother here?" ”

Xiao Baozi's mouth was stuffed full, and he slurred: "Thin...... Rice ......"

Fennel made persistent efforts: "Mother not only has delicious food here, but also a lot of fun, there are bamboo dragonflies that can fly, there are small wooden horses that can be shaken, wooden birds that can call, everything, do you want to play with your aunt every day?" ”

Xiao Baozi's eyes were almost glowing, and he couldn't wait to grab all the fun things that Fennel said in his hands immediately.

Although he is Li Chun's eldest son, Lilac is just the identity of a maid in a room, where have I seen this! Immediately rebelled: "Think, think!" Aunt Ning'er porridge! ”

Fennel made a look of embarrassment: "However, these fun and delicious foods are your mother's, and your mother allows it to be given to you by your aunt." You go and tell your mother, just say, Ning'er is wrong, you shouldn't have scolded your mother just now, beg your mother to give Ning'er toys, and your mother will give you ......"

Xiao Baozi thought about it with a bitter face, and finally mustered up the courage, "Oh Oooo" ran to Nian Yun and hugged his thigh: "Mother......"

Before he finished speaking, he was so aggrieved that the golden beans fell to the ground.

Nian Yun's heart was cute, gently stroked his little head, and busily called Fennel and Pothos to find a toy for the little bun.

Lilac had a dark face, and her voice was as low as a gnat: "Then I will bother Mrs. ......"

Nian Yun picked up affectionately: "Sister, where are these words?" I'm Ning'er's mother! ”

sent the two concubines away, leaving this little bean who had already been happy to eat and play in the house, and was very happy.

Anyway, it was his son who was raised in someone's house, and Li Chun was very happy: "You girl, you can't see it, your work in pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is first-class!" ”

Nianyun replied: "Each other, otherwise you will be eaten by the women of your family and there will be no bones left!" ”

Li Chun was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and explained: "Lilac has served me since she was a child, and then her mother made a face. Hui Niang's grandfather was an old minister whom her father met in his early years, and later the family suffered a disaster, so she was orphaned in the East Palace, so she was wronged to be a concubine. Later, when her mother saw that she was proficient in writing and writing, and that she was also able to speak and do things in an orderly manner, she asked her to temporarily take care of the housework......"

Although Xiao Baozi is very cute, although her status is higher than those women, it does not mean that she is inexplicably "mother" as soon as she enters the door.

Moreover, Li Chun had never told her this, and it was only then that she realized that she knew almost nothing about the East Palace.

She took a deep breath: "Chun, you said you would wait for me, wait until I am willing to you?" ”

Li Chun didn't know what she wanted to say, and nodded hesitantly.

Nianyun thought for a while, "Okay, give me a year." ”

Li Chun frowned: "Too long, a month at most." ”

A month, he was really embarrassed to say.

"Eight months."

"A month and a half."

"Half a year, no less."

Li Chun was almost furious: "You woman, don't get an inch, anyway, you have already married me, what do you want!" ”

At this moment, she is completely at a disadvantage, marrying his wife, naturally there is no reason for the two of them to be so awkward, so she had to look aggrieved: "When I agreed to marry you, I didn't know that your family was so complicated!" If you treat me with sincerity and are really good to me, and you are willing to hand over the golden seal to me in the future, give me time to prepare. ”

It seems to make sense. Li Chun thought for a while: "Three months." Can I come to see you all the time for three months? ”

"Don't come if it's okay, let people always feel like a great enemy, it's inconvenient for me to act."

Li Chun was helpless: "Okay, the newlywed Yan'er will fall out of favor with the county lady!" ”

sat for a while, but still didn't give up: "Then can I go to Lilac and Hui Niang's place for the night?" ”

Nianyun pouted: "Whatever you want!" ”

Li Chun brushed his sleeves and left.

As soon as he left, the days of real headaches could be regarded as the beginning, Nianyun said lightly before, but she really didn't know how to take care of children, so she had to order Luluo to call a few mothers-in-law who came to marry.

The little bun here was tired of playing with a few knick-knacks in the house, and he fell in love with the Buddha's hand on the plate on the top of the cabinet that was used to smoke the house, and shouted for Aunt Fennel to bring it to him to play with, while not forgetting to remember the few good things that Fennel had just come up with.

Nianyun had no choice but to ask someone to find Guo Yan for help, these gadgets on the market may not be available in the princess's mansion, and I am afraid that only he can get them.

Finally appeased the little ancestor who was tired of eating and playing and fell asleep, Nian Yun had the time to call Yuzhu and Chonglou to ask about the internal affairs of the East Palace.

Originally, there were six divisions under the East Palace, which were in charge of money, grain, cloth and other things that should be used. The supervisor of the six shangs usually reports directly to Hui Niang, except for the important personnel transfer arrangements of various bureaus and the need to consult the prince and Liangdi for large amounts of money and grain, the rest of the chores can be decided by Hui Niang, that is, the crown princess Jinyin can be transferred.

The use of the golden seal is very great, enough to transfer most of the personnel, money and food of the entire East Palace, as for the uneven advantages and disadvantages of distributing things, it is naturally all based on the words of the person who holds the seal.

Hui Niang's palm print has been almost two years, and the foundation is stable, so she is naturally unwilling to hand it over easily. At this moment, she is just a daughter who doesn't know anything, and now she will only receive disapproval from all sides, no matter how big the battle of the Guo family is, it is useless to put it here, and you need to wait for the opportunity slowly.

When the three dynasties returned to the door, in addition to the routine return gift of the Guo family, Guo Yan ordered someone to send a large box for Nianyun to take back, and bit her ear and talked for a long time, and then Nianyun treasured this box, and ordered someone to take care of it, and sent it directly to Yiqiu Palace with their car.

Everyone knew that this county lady had a close relationship with her third brother, and they all guessed what it was, and even Li Chun was curious, and when she came back, she specially followed her into the door of Yiqiu Palace.

Nian Yun ordered someone to carry the box into the main hall, and the box didn't look too heavy, not like gold and silver jewelry.

When the lid was opened, Li Chun was dumbfounded, only to see that it was full of children's toys, including cloth tigers, cloth ducks, windmills and kites made of colorful silk paste on bamboo bones, wooden birds and small wooden horses carved and painted, and leather balls sewn and embroidered with patterns......

A whole box, all kinds of things, dazzling, even when he was a child, he was afraid that there were not so many things.

He was stunned when he saw a small bun in a new flower dress rushing out, shouting and throwing himself on the box, standing on his little feet and reaching the toy with his short little arms.

Nian Yun picked up the little bun in the air with a smile and rubbed his soft hair: "It was specially given to you by your third uncle, do you like it or not?" ”

The little bun was so happy to dance with his hands, "let's chirp" and kissed Nianyun's face: "Porridge!" Thank you, mother, thank you, third uncle! ”

Nianyun turned around with the little bun in his arms, and ordered Fennel to take the little bun to play with the toy, and then glanced at Li Chun, who was standing aside but was always automatically ignored by the little bun: "Yo, the king of the county has fallen out of favor?" ”

Li Chun gave her a blank look, and walked away again.

Before coming back, Guo Yan whispered to her that he bit his ears, not to tell about his separation, but to ask Nian Yun about the various collusions and methods of deception in the inner government of a big family, and asked him where he got these good things.

Guo Yan not only pointed out the maze one by one and pointed out the direction for Mrs. Jun's future efforts, but also told her that there are two most interesting places in Chang'an City where you can buy all the treasures - the East Market and the West Market.

Although I have lived in Chang'an for more than half a year, I have never visited the market - why should the daughter of the princess's mansion visit the market in person?

However, with Guo Jun's guidance, the county lady who was in a worrying situation suddenly realized the necessity of visiting the market, so on a certain sunny afternoon, she took fennel, pothos and two small servants who used it as foot power, carried copper coins, carried a little gold cake, and put on Hufu men's clothes.

The story of the new lady soon spread in the East Palace. Everyone is secretly saying that although this new lady is as beautiful as a fairy and her mother's family is magnificent, she is still like a child, and she doesn't care about anything all day long, she only knows to change her clothes and go out to play, and buy back a bunch of cheap gadgets.

Some people say that this new lady is waiting for the concubine Xiaolang to be attentive, and gadgets and new clothes are constantly added every day, which is not worse than her own child.

But somehow, this county lady doesn't seem to care about her husband's favor at all, even on the night of the wedding, the county king actually spent the night in Hui Niang's house, and it was Hui Niang who was favored for several days in a row, and the county king didn't live in Yiqiu Palace all night.

Some people also said that the new lady seemed to have a good temper, and treated her subordinates very gently and amiably, and was generous, and she always got a lot of money and fruit when she went to her house to listen to errands.

Yuzhu and Chonglou passed the gossip they heard to Nian Yun, but Nian Yun just smiled slightly, noncommittal.

Note: In the Tang Dynasty, the East Market and the West Market were famous markets, each occupying a fang, which was full of shops for trading, similar to our current commercial center pedestrian street.

Its Middle East City mainly deals in high-end silk fabrics, jewelry, etc., which is relatively in line with the tastes of high-quality aristocrats.

The West Market is close to the place where foreigners, all kinds of Hu merchants, and merchants live, and mainly deals in various imported products, new and exotic handicrafts, low-end daily necessities, etc. At the same time, there are also all kinds of street stalls in the East Market and West Market to sell all kinds of agricultural products and snacks.

This is where what we call "buying things" comes from.

To explain a little more, the East Market and West Market in the Tang Dynasty could only open in the afternoon, and you couldn't go shopping in the morning.

In addition, regarding the currency of the Tang Dynasty, the currency in circulation in the general market is only "money" made of copper or iron, such as "Kaiyuan Tongbao". Gold is used in large-scale transactions, but usually you can only go to the gold shop to exchange it for coins.

As for silver, it was not a circulating currency in the Tang Dynasty, and was only used as a general equivalent for national reserves or tribute gifts, such as local taxes, which were exchanged for silver and transported to the capital, with inscriptions engraved on it, and the source can be checked, which is more convenient than directly transporting large quantities of grain.

And the silver ticket ...... The earliest version found so far is "Jiaozi", which appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty and did not exist in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the county lady who was wronged and wronged us had to bring two people to carry the money when she went shopping.
