Ten days later, the imperial court made a decree.

The decision that "the emperor will lead the people to the south to celebrate the birthday of the queen mother a month later" finally resounded all over the country overnight. The holy decree of the imperial court is written beautifully, saying that it only wants the queen mother to live a long life, the wind and rain in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and they do not want to work and lose money, so everything will be simple......

But in fact, since Zhu Chang'an's earlier arrangement for going south, the states and counties along the canal have begun to secretly make preparations. It is said that everything is simple, but the work of welcoming the car in various places has already begun......

Just like Wei Zhixian, with the donation given by Cheng Ziyu, it is a lot easier for him to act. As soon as the emperor decreed, he found Cheng Ziyu even more openly, saying that the silver might have to be moved to the driver first.

But...... As for the three thousand taels of silver given by Cheng Ziyu, it is not enough!

He secretly rubbed and said that the emperor and his entourage were according to the plan, and after arriving in Jiangnan, whether they took the water route or the land route, they would definitely pass through Jingxi to stop and see.

He had to prepare a place for the emperor to settle down.

After thinking about it, he still felt that his Wei family's courtyard was the most suitable. He also gave a hint that his family and the royal family were in-laws...... So, rightfully so!

Cheng Ziyu smiled, what do you mean?

Let the Cheng family not rush to entertain the emperor and his party? Or let her come out with some more silver?

She looks so stupid, who can fool her?

Well, I'm afraid that she came out with 80,000 taels of silver in one go, and she is stupid in the eyes of these people!

Sure enough, Wei Zhixian changed his words and said that if he wanted to meet him, his other courtyard would have to hurry up and pick it up again.

"Siniang, look at it, the queen mother's southward movement is a big event, and it is the glory of our Jingxi, look, can you contribute?"

He looked at Cheng Ziyu with a hint on his face.

"Naturally! My Cheng family is not short of manpower, how about sending you thirty people over first......"

"Cheng Si!" Wei Zhixian couldn't hold it back, so he directly asked the Cheng family to sponsor the silver tael.

"Nope!"

Cheng Ziyu refused without hesitation. "Eighty thousand taels of silver have already gone away with all the liquid silver in the Cheng family's accounts! The Cheng family still has to turn around, and they have to feed more than 1,000 people! If the emperor stays in Jingxi, my Cheng family still has to prepare birthday gifts, face saints and dots, all of which need silver! Where is the silver for you to pick up the courtyard? ”

She sneered.

"Besides, if you have that spare money, it's better to go directly to my Cheng family's courtyard to fight for the opportunity. Do you think your other hospital can compete with my Cheng family's other hospital? ”

Wei Zhixian snorted and sat down.

The Chengjia Courtyard is on the edge of Taihu Lake, the scenery is extremely beautiful, and it is the first part of the entire Jingxi Garden. If the Cheng family wants to greet him, pick it up a little, and go to the Liangjiang Yamen to say hello, it is indeed not his Wei family's turn at all!

That's one of the reasons why he came here. He came to warn the Cheng family to withdraw from the competition......

Cheng Ziyu is also extremely disdainful of Wei Zhixian's cheekiness. At such a point, he can still sit down!

Cheng Ziyu was helpless, but in the end, she still asked the girl to take three hundred taels.

"All my trips were ruined on my way west. This silver was originally intended to be used for jewelry, but if there is more, that's all, it can be regarded as my mind! ”

Her attitude is obviously dismissed, but anyone with a little backbone will not stretch out her hand. But the magistrate of the county was relieved, accepted this small amount of silver, thanked him, and left the Cheng family.

No one knew that Cheng Ziyu was slightly relieved at this moment.

This is another wonderful thing about the eighty thousand taels of silver she spent earlier.

In the previous life, the emperor and his entourage sailed all the way south, and after arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, they began to travel eastward, along the waterway, toured the lakes and mountains all the way, and only turned around until they reached Jiaxing, Zhejiang.

Therefore, no matter how they go, they will definitely pass through Jingxi, the western gateway near Zhejiang.

At that time, after the mighty royal party arrived in Jingxi, they did settle in the Cheng family's courtyard. Originally, it was just one night, but due to the Queen Mother's preference and the warm hospitality of the Cheng family, one night became three nights.

At that time, the Cheng family's courtyard went through two months of dotting, and after investing 10,000 taels of silver, it was not inferior to the compound of the Pan family, the richest man in Jinling, from thick to fine.

In particular, the excellent location of the mountain and water, the open atmosphere and elegant and beautiful garden design, push the window is the vast Taihu Lake, and you can go out to the boat in the misty rain...... The tranquil and far-reaching scenery is completely the depiction of Jiangnan in calligraphy, painting and poetry, and the scene in the dreams of many people......

The Queen Mother bluntly said that this is the most comfortable place to live in the south.

Even the crispy lotus root, fresh ling, sanbai, drunken shrimp, fisherman, boat lady here...... The Queen Mother was full of praise.

The emperor was happy to see the queen mother, and when he returned, he stayed in the Chengjia courtyard for two nights, and also led everyone to form a fleet to row and fish in Taihu Lake......

For a time, the Cheng family was very favored.

And in the days when they stayed in Jingxi, their idleness would naturally revolve around "Tao". Cheng's pottery halls, workshops, kilns to mines, and even docks are busy loading and unloading goods...... All of a sudden, it becomes eye-catching!

In the eyes of this group of people, the Cheng family's Jingxi faucet is completely rich!

When the emperor passed by the Cheng family's mansion, he walked in and entered.

In the middle of this Jingxi, covering an area as large as a royal mansion, it is rich and luxurious, and the Cheng family, which is full of "subordinates", has stabbed the eyes of many people......

The superficial joy was only at that time.

When this joy passed, many people secretly gave birth to jealousy.

I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Queen Mother once said to Cheng Ziyu with a smile that the emperor felt that his summer resort was not as comfortable as the Cheng family's courtyard......

At that time, Cheng Ziyu was terrified when she heard it.

The implication is that the Cheng family is more comfortable than the emperor - this is not a good thing!

Sure enough, when she was in trouble later, the wealth of the Cheng family, and even the mahogany of the same color and style in the courtyard of the Cheng family became extravagant...... After the illegal salt, all kinds of crimes were overwhelming......

And what is the problem of wanting to add sin?

Therefore, Cheng Ziyu is not afraid of receiving this group of people. It's just about narrowing down the sense of presence. Of course, this low-key is only on the surface. On the contrary, everyone will explore the reason why the Cheng family, which has always been generous, suddenly lowered its profile.

And she donated ten years of profits from the Cheng family in public, and soon everyone would think that the Cheng family had no money! At least for the time being, there is no silver.

As for the Cheng family's courtyard, not long after Cheng Ziyu came back, she had already removed all the people who were in charge of sprinkling and sweeping inside. In this kind of midsummer season, if no one takes care of it, it will only take more than ten days to overgrow the weeds. After waiting for another month, the spider silk dust web will be dirty and unrecognizable......

Even if the emperor wants to live, he can't live in it!

Her family didn't even have the money to support her own family, which showed that she was poor.

Putting money into good deeds is even more evident when it is so stretched.

In addition, she also hopes that this group can stay in Jingxi for a few fewer days, and the shorter they stay, the safer the Cheng family will be......
