Liu has followed Du Yi for the longest time, so he naturally understood what she meant by being low-key, so he nodded: "Then in two years, my mother will personally give you a seat, and you will have to eat well." In previous years, you liked your mother's longevity noodles and poached eggs the most, and this year you will definitely make two more eggs to make up for last year's supply! ”

Hearing this, Peach Blossom couldn't help laughing: "Mother, can you still rely on eggs to make up for this birthday?" ”

Liu nodded Peach Blossom's head, with a smile on his face, but he didn't say much.

Capital.

If there is any one of the most beautiful palaces in the capital, in addition to the palace, it should be the Yicheng Palace. Anyone who has been there, when they think of it, will praise it.

Although this mansion is not the first time Yu Ziheng has come, every time he comes, he has to praise it. This is worthy of the palace, the gold is splendid, look far away, a cluster of pavilions and pavilions inlaid with gold and silver, exquisite and chic, gorgeous atmosphere, magnificent and majestic. The garden that passes along the way is very beautiful, the strange stone Luobu in the garden, the beautiful trees are verdant, and its ancient cypress vines are all hundreds of years old, and the garden is full of interest. The study is surrounded by green walls outside the courtyard, the green willows hang around, three hanging flower gatehouses, and the verandah is copied on all sides. The courtyard is connected with each other and dotted with mountains and stones.

"Master!" Not long after, when he arrived at the study and saw the man on the table, Yu Ziheng put away the ornamental expression on his face and bowed respectfully.

"Coming? Sit down and wait for the king to work hard for a while! Zi Yicheng raised his head from the table, glanced at it, and then lowered his head and continued to be busy. His imperial brother's folds are all handled by him now.

Since the last time the prince disappeared and was recovered, the pressure on him has increased again. The emperor is already terminally ill, and the sixth prince and the queen can't bear it, and the two may rebel at any time, which makes him eager to uproot the two. Now, he was just waiting for an opportunity, and when the time came, he could completely annihilate them.

It's just that in addition to the six princes Zi Yifeng in the Ziyang Kingdom, there are also several vassal kings who are also ready to move. However, compared to Zi Yifeng, these people are all small characters, and it is relatively simple to clean them up.

Time passed unconsciously, half an hour passed. Yu Ziheng's puzzled gaze was already the fifth time he had looked at Ziyi City. He was very strange, didn't he receive his portrait before? Don't you know that there is a little handsome? Or did the master already know, and he was afraid that Xiao Shizi would be in danger, so he didn't say it?

"What's the matter, you just say, don't look at this king from time to time. If this king didn't know that you love beautiful women, this king would think that you are in love with this king! ”

Zi Yicheng stood up from the table and walked into the courtyard. I saw a pair of silver-white boots on his feet, a slender and tall figure, wearing a dark black python robe, and a jade belt inlaid with blue jade on his waist. A head of inky hair was tied by a golden crown, a few strands were swayed on the smooth forehead, the dark black eyes were as cold as a cold pool, the bridge of the nose was high, and the thin pale pink lips were tightly pursed into a line. But if you look closely, you will find that a smile flashed in his eyes for a moment.

As if he hadn't heard, Yu Ziheng took out Du Yi's reply and handed it to him: "This is a reply from the master to Miss Yiyi, and his subordinates have already brought it." In addition, Miss Yiyi's terraced fields have reached the yield of my Ziyang Medium Paddy Field this year, and she has raised some fish and ducks in the paddy fields at the same time. In addition, beans were planted on the ridges. If I also reclaim terraced fields in Ziyang Country, I will do it according to this method. Within three years, the national treasury will be full, and within five years, the national strength will certainly increase. ”

Zi Yicheng raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Are you so confident? ”

Yu Ziheng nodded, very sure. He saw everything in Duyi's field, and he couldn't understand it. If the Ziyang Kingdom follows this method, this empty treasury will soon be filled.

"Miss Yiyi's paddy field matured relatively early, half a month earlier than the normal morning, so it was not affected much this time."

When Zi Yicheng heard this, he didn't say anything, but tore open the letter that Du Yi had sealed with beeswax on the spot. He was looking forward to it in his heart, but after seeing that only I knew these three words, he couldn't help but darken his cheeks on the spot.

This little woman should really be hung up and spanked, and he wrote so many words affectionately to express the four words in his heart. This guy only has these three words, and he can't help but be too incomprehensible.

"You go back and tell her that next time if there are only these three words, you must be prepared!"

Zi Yicheng's words popped out from between his teeth. Hearing this, Yu Ziheng wondered deeply, what kind of words could make the master so crazy? He just brought this sentence, and Du Yi would be able to understand? It seems that these two people really have a leg, and they can have such a tacit understanding, maybe the kid knows, but he just doesn't want to make it public.

Zi Yicheng didn't know, because after seeing this letter and saying this, Yu Ziheng misunderstood it again. And once again, he missed the news that he knew he had a son.

"Master, this year's greenhouse has been built. The money used is all the deposits of the bank, and now the money bank does not have many deposits, if the people on the side of the sixth prince know, they will inevitably send people to make trouble. For this matter, please think of a way to protect it, and it will be done after this winter. As for the treasury, it's a big hole, and you can't fill it at the moment. The 500,000 taels of silver in Nadu Mansion can't solve any problems. We must address the root causes, otherwise the symptoms will not be cured. If you can force the six princes and the queen to spit out the silver from the treasury, it would be great! ”

"This king naturally knows and knows it in his heart. You don't care so much, you take care of the things at hand first, if there is anything that needs to be done by this king, you just have to say. This king wants to control most of the silver of the Purple Moon Kingdom, as Yi Yi said. There are many industries in Dufu, find a way to let them spit out a little bit and let Yiyi take over! ”

A hint of fierceness flashed in Zi Yicheng's eyes, didn't the reason why those officials in the court formed gangs and factions all had common interests? Nadu Mansion now raises a lot of court moths, and now they are still unclean for a while. But if there is no Du Mansion as a backstage, will those people still be tied together?

"Yes!" This is just right, if Miss Yiyi can grow stronger and take back the Du Mansion, then she will be the greatest help to the master. He believed that with Du Yi's ability, he would definitely be able to become the right and left arm of the Lord within five years.

"Wait a moment for this king, this king will write a letter, and you can bring it back and give it to her. In addition, this year's wine, you send fifty altars to this king, and this king will use it at this year's palace banquet. The rest, whatever you want. ”

When Yu Ziheng heard this, he was dizzy. It seems that it will not be sold for the time being this year, just waiting for the palace banquet to be sold, and the price will definitely increase several times at that time. In that case, wouldn't it be wonderful that he and Doe would make a lot of money in their purses.

If you take the opportunity to turn this wine into a royal wine, then this wine can be regarded as a start. In this way, the original wine of Du Mansion can withdraw from the palace, and Du Mansion will have one less monopoly industry. But this is also good, it is beneficial to Ye and Yi Yi or him.

"Okay, my subordinates will go back and make a reservation with Miss Yiyi. She brewed a lot this year, saying that it would be brewed for a longer period of time, and the taste was a little more mellow. The subordinates rushed back now, and they should have had time to stop her before she could sell it. ”

Yu Ziheng remembered that there was also a matter of He Cao's family and Du Yi ordering wine, if he could take advantage of this time to let her stay, as long as it was the New Year, the price would be several times higher at that time. Except for this year's stubble, this wine can only wait until September and October next year. At that time, no matter how expensive it is, I am not afraid that I will not be able to sell it.

Thinking of Du Yi, a trace of warmth flashed in Zi Yicheng's eyes, and he turned around and returned to the study, this time with a large article, full of two pages. When he came out, he had a letter sealed with beeswax in his hand, and a sandalwood box: "This is a birthday gift from this king, be sure to let her accept it!" ”

Yu Ziheng nodded, took the things, and prepared to go back. He was afraid that if he returned a day later, Doe would sell all the wine, and then he would lose a lot of money. After all, Duyi's silver is the master's silver. Of course, Du Yi didn't know about his thoughts.

In the blink of an eye, it was Du Yi's birthday, and the Liu family had already discussed, and his family was lively. When Du Yi got up early in the morning, she was ordered by the Liu family that she was not allowed to do anything today, she just had to hold Xiaoshuai. With nothing to do, she had to take Xiaoshuai to Liniang's house.

Because of the rain in September, the weather in Ziyang Country was colder than last year. It's only the end of October, but the weather is even cooler than last November. Because of this, this year's greenhouse was opened earlier than last year.

Erlang went to replace Liu Dazhu early in the morning and came back, and at this time there were only Meizhen, Xiaobao and Xiaohuzi in Liniang's house. When Du Yi walked into the room, Mei Zhen muttered to Li Niang about the past, and Xiaohuzi was studying with Xiaobao, who was only four months old.

I saw that he was reading the surname of the hundred families that Du Yi bought for him, and his little chubby fingers pointed to one of the words and said: "Xiaobao, this Nian Zhuo, Zhuo, you can see clearly, this Nian Zhuo!" ”

"Yiyi, why are you here?" Meizhen saw Du Yi for the first time, and hurriedly reached out to take Xiao Shuai and held him in her arms.

Xiaoshuai, who is not long older than Xiaobao, I don't know if it's a problem with his genes or what, and his development is much faster than Xiaobao. Xiao Shuai has begun to grow teeth and will sit. But Xiaobao will turn over, and even his height is much shorter than Xiaoshuai.

"Meizhen, will Poke use her forearms to support her body?" Du Yi is also very concerned about Xiaobao's development, she is a new mother and has no experience, but after comparing Xiaobao and Xiaoshuai, she feels that something is wrong.

"Well, there's training. Every day I would spend a little time in front of him, teasing with a rattle and using my forearms to support my body and raise my head. I remember everything you said before. But Yiyi, I heard my aunt say that it is normal for such a big child to be like this now. ”

What Meizhen wants to say is that just because Xiaoshuai has developed well, Xiaobao can't be asked to keep up with Xiaoshuai's pace, after all, Xiaobao is no worse than other children. But she categorically couldn't say such a thing.

Xiaoshuai's development, she is looking at it. She subconsciously thought that Du Yi was a noble person, and that Xiaoshuai was naturally not comparable to a country baby like Xiaobao. But since Du Yi said that she wanted to train Xiaobao, then she should train more.

"Well, my mother also said it. But I think what Xiaoshuai can do, Xiaobao can also do. These two children are about the same age and will definitely play and study together a lot in the future. If Xiaobao has been lagging behind Xiaoshuai like this, the two brothers will inevitably be estranged in the future! ”

I have to say that Doe thinks too much! Not to mention that this child is still so young, the class concept of the ancient people is deep-rooted, Xiaoshuai is the master in their eyes, even if he is smarter than Xiaobao, it is a normal thing, how can there be any estrangement.

Of course, Du Yi naturally knows that even if she recognizes the Liu family as her mother, in their hearts, they still respect her as the master. This concept is with them for a lifetime and will not change.

Even after Liu, Du Yi and her went to Fengcheng, they could see it. Occasionally, she would subconsciously call Miss Du Yi, calling herself an old slave and a nurse, and sometimes she would call her a handsome young master or something like that, especially when she was close to Fengcheng. Even her family thinks the same way. Du Yi thought, this is a slave for a day, a slave for life!

Mi-jin, who heard this, did not refute Du Yi's words, but just nodded. Sometimes Doe is struggling, it's quite persistent, and she'll keep saying until you approve of it. Meizhen wondered if all women who had children were like this. In the past, Dui was not like this.

Xiaohuzi saw Xiaoshuai coming, left Xiaobao on the bed, and took the little book to Xiaoshuai. He prefers Xiao Shuai, every time he takes a book to Xiao Shuai and reads a word, Xiao Shuai will follow along, as if he is also reading, which gives him a great sense of accomplishment.

"Aunt Yiyi, is Huzi teaching Xiaoshuai to read today?" Before Xiaohuzi took the book to teach, his eyes looked at Du Yi expectantly.

"Okay, Huzi is really good. In the future, will you be your brother's little teacher? If your aunt teaches you, you teach your brother! Du Yi pondered in his heart, when spring begins, let Huzi go to the school in the town to enlighten.

In the past, the people of Liujia Village couldn't even eat enough, let alone give money to their children as a bundle. Therefore, except for a few big characters that the village chief knows, the rest of the people don't know. Of course, she didn't know who the person who sang the salute was on the day of the last Dui warming.

She thought that after a year or two, she would open a private school in the village, so that the children of Liujia Village would also have a book. As for the money for hiring the master, she will pay for it, which can be regarded as doing a good deed for Liujia Village.

The few people who are now with her in Liujiacun are all half-witted, who can recognize and write a few words. But if you really want to read and write letters, it is still difficult. Even Peach Blossom and Qiao's who followed her to pursue it were just accounts. Of course, this account book was only learned under Doe's compulsory training, but it was limited to that.

Xiaohuzi was extremely happy when he heard Du Yi's words. took the book next to Xiao Shuai and babbled with him. Meizhen glanced at Huzi with love in her eyes and hugged Xiaobao in her arms.

"Yiyi, I think my sister seems to be in a better situation now, and she can occasionally say a word or two to me. Just talk to her, you have to coax her like a child! ”

Meizhen feels that her efforts will still have an effect. Only when Liniang gets better and can pay for this family, can they straighten their waists. She has lived here for so long, and naturally knows that this big family is supported by Duyi. Whether it is Erlang or Liu Dazhu or Peach Blossom, they are all working for Duyi.

Of course, now Du Yi is the nominal goddaughter of the Liu family, but she still sees the relationship of the Liu family.

"That's good, if my sister-in-law can get better little by little, it means that my sister-in-law's situation may be cured, it's only a matter of time. Meizhen, after the New Year, according to the virtual age, you should also be eighteen, do you have any other ideas? ”

Du Yi glanced at Huzi and Xiaobao, who were still young, and couldn't help but ask. Meizhen is bigger than the peach blossom, but the peach blossoms have already been married, and after more than a year, it is time to get married. Meizhen's family affairs have not yet been settled. Looking at Erlang's posture, he won't be with Meizhen.

"What can I think. My biggest wish now is to help my sister raise the two children and take care of my sister, and that's it. As for the rest, we'll talk about that later. No one said that a woman must get married, right? ”

The reason why Meizhen dared to say this was because she felt that Du Yi was still unmarried and pregnant, so if she said such a thing, Du Yi would also agree.
