Chapter 544: Available for a hundred years
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, and the southern levees have reached the final moment, and they will be completed in just over a month.
The emperor privately sent people to the south to investigate, saying that the embankment built this time was extremely strong, and it would definitely be able to prevent floods and last for a hundred years.
This made the emperor's dragon heart happy, if this embankment can really prevent a hundred years of floods, then the household can save a large amount of silver every year.
"In the final analysis, Jiang Zihuai has the ability, today I watched the performance of the household department, the treasury is 200,000 taels more than last year, it is only August, and it may be more by the end of the year."
I feel comfortable when I mention this emperor, and there is nothing more satisfying than having a sufficient pocket.
Desheng was waiting on the side, for several days, the emperor's mood was exceptionally good, and he was out of the palace a few days ago, and the emperor had not been like this for several years.
In previous years, whenever the emperor wanted to go on patrol, the household department said that the silver was not enough, so the emperor had no interest in traveling, but these days the emperor often went out of the palace to observe the people's feelings, and brought back the beauty by the way, which can be regarded as a beautiful talk.
"The emperor is in a good mood, and the servants are also happy for the emperor, this household is still a good worker, and the people of the six departments are also meritorious."
The emperor said meaningfully, "It is indeed meritorious, if you don't do things secretly, those courtiers can also be regarded as meritorious." ”
I didn't answer that.
If they take it, it means that these officials only know how to compete for power and power on weekdays, and they do not really share the worries of the imperial court.
The emperor doesn't like the harem to talk about the government, and the eunuchs are the same.
Desheng knows this truth very well, some things should be said, some things should not be said, don't open your mouth, just treat it as if you didn't hear it.
The emperor flipped through the folds at will, he was in a good mood, and he watched it faster than usual, and he finished reading it after a while.
But when he saw the greeting on the Marquis of Qingyuan, his face changed.
Desheng looked at the emperor's appearance, and knew that it must be the Marquis of Qingyuan's unusual concern.
It must not be a good thing.
Desheng took the tea from the little eunuch and replaced the herbal tea on the imperial case.
Yu Guang only saw it, Xuan Guogong, the heart of rebellion, a few words.
There was an uproar in his heart, no wonder the emperor's face was so heavy, where is this an excerpt to ask for peace, it is clearly an excerpt to participate in Xuanguogong's rebellious heart.
Xuanguo Gong Nie Ji is the emperor's companion, the emperor was not favored when he was still a prince, and was often bullied by several other princes, every time Nie Ji stepped forward to protect each other, and the emperor and Xuanguo Gong were friends since childhood.
Later, the two worked hard to hold the beauty at the same time, and it became a good story.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he has always treated Xuanguo Gong well, but the emperor's health has been poor over the years, and his mind has become weird, and he doesn't know how much of his childhood friendship is left now.
It's too strange.
Qingyuan Marquis is also a hairpin family, perennial guard Cambrian Pass, the two Cambrian Pass is the second barrier of the Dayu Dynasty, once Hengwu City misses, this Cambrian Pass becomes the top priority.
Now that the army is dominated by the Xuanguo family, and he is about to marry the Yin family, Qingyuanhou is on this occasion at this time, but I am afraid that he has some obscure thoughts.
The emperor watched the recital three times before putting it down.
Picked up the hot tea and glanced at Desheng vigilantly.
Desheng's father-in-law always lowered his head, did not say a word, and looked ahead.
The emperor's suspicions gradually let go, and he took a sip of tea and moistened it, "It's about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, I remember that some time ago, the queen wanted to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet." ”
"Yes, I went back to the emperor, but at that time, the emperor refused on the grounds that the treasury was tight." He also scolded the queen, and the queen was sick for a few days.
"If you go to Zhaoyang Palace, you will say that now that the treasury is full, let the queen start preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."
"Whoa"
……
The next day, the decree was issued, and on August 15, a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held, which was attended by hundreds of military officials of the Chinese dynasty and their families.
In the past two years, the treasury has been empty, and the emperor has rarely done such a big job, and hundreds of civil and military officials have to attend, that is to say, almost all of them have to go.
Originally, Lu Qingrong had already prepared a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and planned to let the second uncle and them come over together, but now I am afraid that it will not work, and they will all enter the palace.
However, this moon cake still has to be prepared, anyway, the moon cake does not have to be eaten on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Lu Qingrong spent a day and took the people in the house to make it together, making thousands of mooncakes.
There are fruit traps, jujube paste filling, egg yolk filling, and five-kernel filling......
A lot of each flavor was made.
According to each person's preference, it was delivered to each mansion.
The mooncakes that just came out were still hot, and they smelled sweet.
"Sister-in-law, my favorite jujube paste filling, what you make is so delicious."
Nie Jingshuang ate straight to the light.
Zhao's eating five-kernel stuffing also nodded, or his daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is good, like this moon cake, she is the first time to eat it.
Xuan Guogong took one bite at a time, and after a while, a whole plate of moon cakes was gone.
Nie Jingshuang hurriedly protected the moon cakes beside her, this is hers.
Xuan Guogong glared at her angrily, isn't it just a few moon cakes, look at this girl and have never seen the world.
The old lady was old and only ate one piece and put it down, "Qingrong, did you send it to the Jiang family?" ”
"Grandmother, don't worry, it's all gone."
"By the way, I heard that the people of the Jiang family are about to arrive in two days."
"It should be after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this time it is the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt, as well as the second sister-in-law."
Speaking of the Jiang family, the old lady suddenly remembered that the day when the third princess and Jiang Ziyun would marry was not far away, and the people of the Jiang family should have entered Beijing for this matter.
"Qingrong, the Jiang family is your grandfather's family, this is the first time to enter Beijing, you can go and see more if you have nothing to do, take care of it."
"Grandmother, I know, the last uncle also sent a letter, saying that after arriving in the capital, he would come to see you."
……
The family gathered in Songhetang to eat moon cakes, and after a while, the nurse arrived with Nie Qi, Nie Lin, and Nie Jiao, who woke up.
As soon as the old lady saw the three little ones, she liked it very much.
"Come to great-grandmother." No matter how your children look at it, it's good.
The three children nodded obediently, "Great-grandmother." ”
The voice is soft and glutinous, and the hearts of the people who say it are warm.
The old lady smiled and called the three of them to his side, and one of them shared a moon cake.
"Mother, what did you teach?" Lu Qingrong reminded with a smile on the side.
Three little guys, tiger-headed, "Thank you, great-grandmother." ”
"Okay, okay." They're all good boys. "Let's eat!"
Xuan Guogong directly hugged Ah Qi over, and Zhao also hugged Ah Lin.
The youngest Gillian was left in Lu Qingrong's arms.
Feeling the softness of her daughter, Lu Qingrong was afraid of melting in her hands.
