At the end of this year's year, Kyoto is destined to be peaceful.

First of all, the second princess was abandoned, but the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion did not express any statement, which caused all kinds of speculation among many people, naturally they all felt that the fault was He Ruhui, otherwise with the character of the Marquis of Zhongyong, it would not be like this at all.

Then the case of Song Yang's defendant was closed, Zhang Lan's maid shook out the unjust death of Zhang Lan's design brother after getting back the deed of sale, and pushed the design of Song Yang to Zhang Lan, Song Yang became the only victim, and the concubine of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion was because he was confused by women, and he lost control of his emotions and hurt people for a while.

The concubine of the Hou Mansion was beaten fifty boards and went to half his life, and the loyal and brave Hou Mansion compensated Song Yang for various losses of 100,000 taels, and the gift of apology was counted separately, but it made Song Yang make a small profit in this bitter trick.

Although Zhang Lan did not admit the crime, she never imagined that the gangster she thought she had killed did not die, but had been hidden by He Ruhui in the suburbs of Beijing, with human and physical evidence, no matter how Zhang Lan denied it, she was still sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, and the child in her belly was solved by a bowl of red flowers in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.

"It's well done, it's the money promised to you." In the restaurant, Song Xingchen handed a stack of silver tickets with a denomination of one hundred taels to Zhang Lan's maid, "You are smart, you know how to find a way out for yourself, and you are not a betrayal of your master, but it's a pity that you are He Ruhui's person, even if you are free now, I still don't dare to use you, otherwise I am really reluctant to let a talent like you go like this." ”

"Thank you for the praise of the county lord of Anran, I have been a slave for so long, what the slave family wants most is to have a free body, and I can live with a straight back in the future." The maid put away the silver ticket, saluted Song Xingchen, but left without saying much.

Song Xingchen stretched his waist, he has been busy recently, and his mood suddenly relaxed, but he felt a little tired.

Seeing this, Strawberry hurriedly stepped forward to knead Song Xingchen's shoulder, and whispered: "Miss, you have made an appointment with the princess to reconcile, and we can rest for a stick of incense at most." ”

"You are a little money fan, you want to know how much money your young lady and princess can get when they cooperate, right?" Song Xingchen smiled and closed his eyes in enjoyment.

"It's good that Miss knows, why do you want to say it. The slave maid has heard that the business of the mirror workshop is very good, and now the order is soft, I am afraid that it will be busy until next year to catch up with the production, there is no stock in each shop, and even the sales of glass are a lot better. Strawberry said excitedly.

Song Xingchen smiled and said nothing, of course she knew how good the business was in Mingjingfang, but in addition to Mingjing's share and the benefits from the transformation of the glass, she didn't plan to take a penny after removing the cost, otherwise the emperor's old fox would have to die of redness.

"The war at the border has not stopped, and I don't know if the grain and grass can keep up with this year, it is estimated that the second brother will soon go on the expedition." Song Xingchen looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window, put away his lazy mind again, and instructed the strawberry: "Go and find the shopkeeper, I have something to order." ”

Although Strawberry loves to play, when Song Xingchen got serious, she was always measured, and she trotted away after a busy response.

Song Xingchen tapped on the table with one hand and muttered in a low voice: "The second sister and the second brother-in-law have prepared a lot of wound medicine, the eldest sister has also prepared cotton clothes and quilts, the third brother-in-law has assisted the second prince in preparing military supplies, and Yelang has not known how much grain and grass has been raised. ”

Song Xingchen roughly calculated the amount of grain and grass needed at the border pass, and he was not worried about the lack of grain and grass, but this was in the case of a war at only one border pass, in case other countries also attacked, then it would not be enough to rely on the grain and grass in the territory of the Great Zhou State at all, and it would not be too late for her to use the inventory of the space at that time.

"I hope there will be no more natural and man-made disasters, otherwise the Great Zhou Kingdom will be in chaos, and the worst people are the people at the bottom." Song Xingchen sighed lightly.

After the housekeeper came in, he happened to hear this, so he guessed what Song Xingchen called him over, and hurriedly reported: "Fourth Miss, the subordinates have already checked, the Zhuangzi and Tiandi under the name of the fourth young lady are out, in addition to the consumption of their own shop until next autumn, there are also 100,000 quintals of all the grain, and the quantity of other oil, dried vegetables, meat and other items is not so fine as the subordinates. ”

"Well, the hard work of several shopkeepers in the past few days, you divide your own labor, allocate the 100,000 quintals of grain and store them, and wait for my orders. As for the other items, calculate them as soon as possible, and count them in terms of the number of wagons. After Song Xingchen finished speaking, he got up and said: "It's a little cold this winter, add a new cotton coat to the guys, add two more cotton robes to several shopkeepers, and increase the amount of charcoal by thirty percent." ”

The shopkeeper responded and sent Song Xingchen away.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhou Jin returned to the back of the palace to see the emperor and handed over a box of silver tickets to the emperor.

"Father, let's see what's in here." Zhou Jin sold Guan Zidao.

"Zhaoyang, has you found a treasure?" The emperor laughed, every time he got along with Zhou Jin, he would temporarily put aside the worries of state affairs, Zhou Jin smiled and said nothing, but the emperor was surprised when he opened the box, and roughly calculated that there were as many as one million taels of silver, "Why is so much silver, all of which you earned?" ”

The emperor knew that Spiegel Fang made money, but he never thought that it would make money like this.

"My father guessed half correctly, half of this silver is Xingchen's, and she donated all the income of the glass in the Spiegel Workshop, saying that she wanted to do her best for the subjects, and hoped that the border war would end as soon as possible." Zhou Jin smiled embarrassedly, "Erchen is a princess, but he doesn't think as much about his father as Xingchen, if Xingchen hadn't proposed it first, Erchen wouldn't have thought about this, it's really embarrassing." ”

"It's hard to believe that you two girls have thoughts about sharing worries for the country and me, but those members of the court, I didn't mention a word about donating to the country when I hinted several times, and they were courtiers in vain!" The emperor sighed and praised the two of them.

Zhou Jin lowered his head a little shyly, and only said after the emperor finished sighing: "Father, the Song family not only donated these silver from Xingchen, but their family is preparing to donate materials to the imperial court. ”

"I am not mistaken, this family is full of loyal people, and it is not in vain that I have promoted their family." The emperor said with relief.

"Doesn't the father plan to reward the Song family?" Zhou Jin came to the emperor's side, shook his sleeves and said: "The actions of the Song family are an example for the whole country, and the father should also give the Song family some encouragement, so that they can do their best in the future, this is what the father said about the art of control, right?" ”

"Did Enron's girl ask you to beg for it?" The Emperor asked with a wuffled face.

"No, that girl is still distressed about the silver, although she has a righteous heart, but she is also a real money fan, when she sees the silver, her eyes light up, she just knows what to do and what not to do. Zhaoyang likes to make friends with the stars, precisely because she is very cute, even if she is greedy for money, she is very charming, but it is not comparable to those misers and greedy people. Zhou Jin immediately corrected Song Xingchen's name.

"Speaking of which, the royal family owes this girl a lot, and when the matter at the border is resolved, I will think about how to reward this girl." The emperor had his own plans in mind, so he didn't explain it.

"Either the father will marry Xingchen and Yelang, they should have been a couple, and there will be a lot of rumors about getting married in the future, if there is a father and the emperor to marry, see who dares to say anything." Zhou Jin raised his chin and said.

"They're going to get married?" The Emperor asked knowingly.

"Yes, Xingchen said that they will hold a make-up wedding next summer, and they plan to travel around after they get married to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of my Great Zhou Kingdom." Zhou Jin turned around and sat down beside the emperor, holding his chin and sighing, "Alas! The daughter is really envious of the stars, she can do whatever she wants, she doesn't have to be bound by the rules, if the daughter wants to go out for a walk, the father will lock up the daughter again. ”

"Zhaoyang, is this blaming his father?" The emperor asked with a deliberate straight face.

"Zhaoyang knows that his father is already very tolerant of Zhaoyang, otherwise he would not hand over the Spiegel Fang to Zhaoyang to mess around, and also allow Zhaoyang to go out of the palace to do business, but Zhaoyang, as a royal princess, is less comfortable in the end." Zhou Jin deliberately sighed loudly, his eyes rolled slightly, and said pitifully: "But Zhaoyang also knows that after enjoying the honor of the princess, Zhaoyang has to pay a price accordingly." As the Son of Heaven, his father controls the world, but he can only be trapped in the palace, Zhaoyang really feels sorry for his father. ”

"You girl, take advantage of the fact that you haven't married to accompany your father for a few more years, and when you get married, how do you want to go wild, your mother-in-law doesn't teach you, and your father doesn't see it, okay?" The emperor couldn't help but feel a little sad when he said, "I don't know who can have such a blessing and marry my heart treasure home, if you dare to treat my Zhaoyang badly, I will destroy his nine clans!" ”

"Father!" Zhou Jin covered his mouth and smiled: "Within these nine clans, it includes our royal family, my father can't talk nonsense, Zhaoyang is still young, I don't plan to marry so early, my father promised Zhaoyang, in the future, Zhaoyang will choose a horse, and Zhaoyang himself has the final say, and his father can't see whose son is pleasing to the eye, so he will send Zhaoyang out, so Zhaoyang will be sad." ”

"You girl want to get married? Tell me about my father, which kid do you fall in love with? If you dare to kidnap my princess, I will break his leg first! The emperor spoke with a sour taste, just like his father in the world, before he knew who the prospective aunt was, he first became hostile.

"My father is bad, Zhaoyang doesn't talk to my father anymore." Zhou Jin hurriedly stood up, and said with a red face: "The son has not yet asked the queen mother to say goodbye when he returns to the palace, so he will not accompany his father." ”

Watching Zhou Jin trot away with his head down, the emperor laughed out loud in a happy mood, but after laughing for a while, he regained the momentum of the emperor, and instructed the chief eunuch who was waiting on the side: "Spread my will, let the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household Shangshu and the Imperial Study meet me, as well as Song Mu." ”
