Yinyu put on the auspicious clothes attached to Gu Lun's forehead and drove to the Old Summer Palace with her.

Yinyu built this summer retreat for her, which was named "Yiyuan", because her name in this life is Aixin Jueluo Xianyu, the pleasure, and the meaning of joy, so Yiyuan is the garden of Aixin Jueluo Xianyu.

Yiyuan is not as close to the Old Summer Palace as Prince Ke's Weixiu Garden, but it is half an hour's journey.

"Why do you suddenly want to go into the garden with me?" - Although Yinyu is attached to the forehead, he is a man with a foreign surname after all, and he is not suitable for entering the harem.

Yin Yu smiled and said, "I just have something to ask to see the emperor." ”

Lin Xianyu was a little puzzled, "What?" Want to beg for an official? ”

Yin Yu sneered lightly, "Ye Cai doesn't have that idle mind!" It's just that after Yongyan became the emperor, he was also conscientious and conscientious, and he was wise in handling court and political affairs, but he was not like the benevolent and mediocre emperor you said. ”

Yinyu just said this casually, but it made Lin Xianyu's heart tighten.

Yes, after Yongyan ascended the throne, he was indeed quite diligent, and that's all, what is more important is that Yongyan has done a very good job in dealing with the Heshen Yu Party and purging the officials, and he is also wise.

Yin Yu said again: "Since the juniors are so competitive, I, as an uncle and grandfather, don't mind helping him a little." ”

Lin Xianyu was curious: "How are you going to help him?" ”

Yin Yu sighed, "The steward who went to Suzhou and Hangzhou to buy silk and silk came back a while ago to give a performance, saying that the people from the Thirteen Foreign Company and the East India Company wanted to continue doing business with me. ”

Lin Xianyu frowned, "Thirteen foreign companies are just that, this East India Company is not a good thing!" "It can even be said that it is a group of robbers and bandits!

Yin Yu smiled: "Ye naturally knows that those foreigners are not things." But so what? Ye is doing business with him, not making friends or recognizing brothers! What's more, since ancient times, there have been no businessmen or treacherous, if they paid attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality, He Shen would not have cooperated with them at the beginning. ”

Yes, don't think that the wealth of He Shen, the richest man in the 18th century, was all embezzled, and people are also very good at doing business and making money. He Shen has been hooking up with the East India Company for a long time and has been doing overseas trade.

But after the death of He Shen, this trade was naturally interrupted.

But the East India Company was obviously reluctant to accept such a generous partner, so it found Heshen's son.

"We don't lack money to spend." Lin Xianyu muttered quietly.

Yin Yu said quietly: "We naturally don't lack silver, but the Qing Kingdom lacks silver." ”

Lin Xianyu blinked: "Didn't you say, 'Heshen fell, Jiaqing was full'?" "--How many years have you only been confiscating the Hedi? So much money, is it all spent?

Yin Yu said helplessly: "Don't you know, the two scourges of He Shen and Qianlong have dug up the foundation of the Qing Dynasty for half a lifetime, even if Jiaqing has confiscated such a large sum of money, but all places have long been in deficit, and in some places the people are struggling to make a living, plus some natural and man-made disasters, as well as the war in the southwest, it is too much silver!" If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that in a few years, the money will not be enough. ”

Lin Xian suddenly thought of something, "So in the past few years, Jiaqing has been using the alternate official system of the Yongzheng Dynasty to liquidate corrupt officials and corrupt officials!" If you find out the corrupt officials, you will raid your house and make up the treasury. It's a good idea to open source.

"Well, if you don't get tired." Lin Xianyu respected Yinyu's wishes.

The two parted ways at the palace gate of the Old Summer Palace, because the widows of the first emperors such as Concubine Zidun lived in Changchun Garden in the east.

Although Changchun Garden is also a part of the Old Summer Palace now, if you enter from the big palace gate of the Old Summer Palace, it will take half a day to get there, but it is better to drive to the east and enter from the old palace gate of Changchun Garden, but it is more time-saving and labor-saving.

The concubine now lives in the Changchun Garden, one of the most spacious and cool palaces, the Ningchun Palace.

Now there is no need to serve the old guy of the emperor, and the concubine lives a very leisurely life.

Lin Xianyu could hear the laughter and laughter outside the Ningchun Palace, as well as the sound of gurgling - it seemed to be playing mahjong???

Well, this era is called the Sparrow card.

At this time, Concubine Xungui and Concubine Yugui are no longer alive, so the sparrows who are pushing sparrows at the same table with Concubine Xuan are Concubine Wan Chen, Concubine Fang Chen, and Concubine Gong Lin.

The common characteristic of these four is that they are not of high origin, but now they are the highest-ranking among the widows of the first emperor.

Among them, Concubine Wan is the eldest, and this old man is the old man of Qianlong's hidden mansion! Now that they are all over 80 years old, they can be the mothers and even grandmothers of the other three at any age! The concubine position of Concubine Wan can be said to have been boiled up by her age!

Concubine Wan is full of silver threads and wrinkles on her face, but she pushes up mahjong very smoothly, not like an old lady at all.

"Huh!" At this time, Concubine Wan's smiling face was like a chrysanthemum, and she pushed down the cards in her hand with a "snap".

Concubine Yan said "yo", "The old sister is so lucky today!" Won three times in a row! ”

Concubine Wan smiled so much that the folds on her face were about to be stacked, "Come on, come on, let's play another game!" ”

The concubine sneered: "I'm not coming!" My daughter has come to see me, and I won't be with you anymore! ”

Concubine Wan, Concubine Fang, and Concubine Gong all looked outside, weren't they Gu Lun and Princess Xiao in peacock green clothes?

The youngest of the four concubines, Concubine Fang, said with envy: "Sister Yi is still the most blessed!" ”

A palace maid had already opened the bead curtain for her, Lin Xianyu walked into the west room with slender steps, and she bent her knees and said: "Hexiao asks for peace for Eniang, and asks for peace for Concubine Wan, Concubine Fang, and Concubine Gong." ”

Concubine Wan smiled kindly, her eyes looked up and down at Lin Xianyu's noble and dusty dress, and couldn't help but praise: "Look at our ten princesses, it's really more and more symbolic!" There are so many princesses of the first emperor, and they are the most beautiful and lovely of our ten princesses! ”

The original owner Gu Lun and Princess Xiao were in the harem of the first emperor, and they were like group pets, especially these old concubines who had no children and no daughters, and they all liked and filial piety.

Lin Xianyu pursed her lips and smiled, "The mother concubine has won the award." ”

Concubine Fang is the youngest of the few people here, even much younger than Concubine Xuan, and she was also quite favored by the emperor in his later years, so she was able to be crowned a concubine as a Han woman.

Concubine Fang looked at Lin Xianyu's face with a smile, and couldn't help but say with envy: "Sister Yan is still blessed to give birth to such a princess like a flower and jade." ”

Although Concubine Gong on the side is the lowest among the four, she is older than Concubine Gong, and Concubine Gong smiled gently, "His filial piety face is rich and ruddy, which shows that the husband and wife are in love and have a smooth life." ”

Lin Xianyu originally praised Concubine Wan and Concubine Fang for being in a very good mood, but as a result, Concubine Gong came with a sentence of "rich state", and the corners of her mouth almost cramped!

Yes, since he beat Yinyu, Lin Xianyu felt sorry for the fact that he had eaten less in the previous three years of filial piety, so he was extra concerned about his diet. And the two of them eat and sleep together every day, and their appetite has increased, so they have gained some weight!

Over the years, with the size of her body, her face has originally developed into a duck egg face, but she didn't expect to accidentally give her a round face that has been eaten into meat again!

Concubine Xuan looked at her daughter's round face, and was slightly relieved.
