"I don't think it's going to be done, even if I'm in good health in the future, it's just for the prince to occupy this position...... If you want to help your mother's family, you have no heart to do it......"

The queen held Deng Hong's hand tightly and cried: "Brother Hong, you must not mess around anymore, otherwise, otherwise, the three of us will be tortured to death, and there will be no one to cry out......"

The prince hurriedly persuaded: "Queen Mother! What do you want to do? That's where it goes. ”

Deng Hong also persuaded: "Auntie, you think a lot when you are sick, this is a taboo for maintaining your body." You can rest assured, I will not go out to take risks again, and I will definitely run the Guogong Mansion in the capital step by step. ”

"That's right." The queen nodded, picked up a handkerchief and wiped her teary eyes. "Then your marriage ......"

Deng Hong said with a smile: "The emperor gave me a heavy burden, and it was the anxiety that I was anxious about, where did I have the heart to think about this!" Seeing that the queen was about to persuade again, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, I know in my heart, and I will arrange it myself." ”

The queen nodded and said, "You are more sensible than Wen Jiao's girl, and you have been worried less about adults since you were a child." ”

Deng Hong smiled: "Speaking of her, I have to leave quickly." I offended her yesterday, and she was angry and said that she wouldn't go back today, and I had to go to King Ning's Mansion to pick her up! ”

The queen sighed and said, "Then you should go quickly, today is her good day, you should follow her." When I come back to the palace, I'll talk about her again. ”

Deng Hong responded with a smile and hurried out of the palace.

Two days later, Chen Xi came back at night when it was almost time to turn the lamp, Du Mingxin had already finished feeding Brother Kun a small bowl of paste, and the mother and son were playing with the cloth tiger on the big kang near the window of the banquet room.

Seeing Chen Xi enter the house, Du Mingxin hurriedly got down from the kang, stepped forward to help him change his clothes, and asked, "Have you eaten?" Yuming only said that you were coming back later, and I don't know if you had dinner outside......"

Yuming is a newly promoted guy next to Chen Xi, and she is very smart.

Before Du Ming finished speaking, he asked Chen Xi about a faint smell of wine, so he pushed him: "Hurry up and go to the clean room to clean up and carefully stun Brother Kun." ”

Brother Kun didn't understand what his father and mother were talking about, so he just sat on the kang with drooling and laughing silly.

Chen Xi stretched out his hand to wipe his son's saliva, and smiled embarrassedly: "It was the eldest grandson of the Anguo Mansion who came back from going to sea, and he met me at the gate of the palace today, so he took me to the restaurant to sit for a while." ”

"Speaking of this person," Du Mingxin signaled Chuncao to take a good look at Brother Kun, and followed Chen Xi to the clean room, "After you went to the Yamen today, someone from the Anguo Mansion sent some things, saying that it was a strange thing that his eldest son brought back from the sea, and gave it to Brother Kun to play." There are several ivory things on the head, and a few rhino horn belts for your official uniform, and coral and cat's eyes for me. Aren't these too valuable? ”

Chen Xi splashed his face with cold water, felt a little sober, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, our family is also related to the Anguo Mansion, and he doesn't want us to do anything, just send it." ”

Du Mingxin handed him a dry handkerchief to wipe his face, and said: "There is a fan made of ivory silk in it, which should be the scene of the Dragon Boat Festival, and there is one of the five poisons on it, but they are all made of gems with large nail covers." This fan alone may not be able to buy it if you take out a thousand taels. ”

Chen Xi came out of the clean room, pinched a small pinch of tea leaves and chewed it in his mouth, then went over and picked up his son, and smiled at Du Mingxin: "You may not know this Deng Hong." He is different from An Guogong, who ran a small grain shop at home when he was a child, and knows that money is not easy to come by, and he is used to careful calculations all his life. When Deng Hong was born, the Deng family was already on the rich side of Jinzhong, and he was used to seeing silver money since he was a child. But fortunately, the ancestral tomb of the Deng family has good feng shui, and he didn't let him grow into a gentleman, he will spend money and earn money. I know that you are a master of the Jin Palace, and those fans are just showing you goodwill. ”

"Speaking of others, why did you get involved with me again?" Du Mingxin glanced at Chen Xi and said with a smile, "Why do I just say one or the other?" What did I do without consulting you? ”

"The lady is a good and virtuous helper, it was your father-in-law who said the wrong thing!" Chen Xi stretched out his arms to lift his son high, and said with a smile in his mouth, "Brother Kun, did you say it?" ”

Brother Kun grinned, and another puddle of saliva flowed down.

"Ouch, you boy!" Chen Xi was unexpectedly dripping on his face by his son's saliva, and complained, "When is this saliva a head?" ”

Du Mingxin took his son with a smile and said, "He just got two baby teeth, it's still early!" ”

Unlike the Jin Wangfu family and Hele, Deng Hong was discussing with Shen Jiazheng in the study at this time about the land division in the suburbs of Beijing.

"The difficulty here in the capital is that the plots are fragmented, and it is very rare to see a grange of 50 acres. Whether it is requisitioned or borrowed, I am afraid that I will have to deal with at least five or six families. Deng Hong said.

Shen Jiazheng said with a smile: "The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are countless powerful officials and eunuchs, the prefect of the fourth grade can walk sideways in the locality, and the Beijing officials of the same grade dare to be presumptuous for half a point?" No one in the suburbs of Beijing can swallow so much land alone, you see," he stretched out his finger and pointed to the map spread out on the table, "Less than half an hour out of the west gate of the capital is Wannian County, the cultivated land of the whole county is only about 150 acres, but there are dozens of families with granges in Wannian County, and some even only circle a few acres of land, build some houses and courtyards, and make a return to the countryside to play." ”

Deng Hong's fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, and said: "In this way, not only do we have to contact several granges, but we are afraid that we will also have to deal with multiple county offices." ”

"That's why Li He, the head of the household, is a slippery head." Shen Jiazheng said with a smile, "He knows that the matter of requisitioning private land is not easy to handle, and he has a respectful and humble appearance on his face. ”

Deng Hong smiled: "What you said is really not half wrong or missing, isn't he such a person?" Otherwise, you can't go from the squire of the previous dynasty to the old man of the current dynasty. ”

Shen Jiazheng's eyes darkened, he lowered his head and looked at the map again, and then said, "The trouble is not only this. If you want to prove to the emperor that this real rice seed can get more grain regardless of the barrenness of the field, then you must choose some medium-sized or even low-grade fields to plant. But the problem is that we are not sure whether this rice seed will have a situation of orange in the south and orange in the north. If you are bent on trusting it, and in the end something bad happens, I don't have anything, but I'm afraid that the virtuous brother will not be happy. ”

Deng Hong frowned, a little regretful. He was bent on reversing Chen Yuantai's bad impression of the Anguo Mansion, but he accidentally talked too much and didn't leave much room for himself.
