One hundred and ninety houses

The night shrouded the capital, and after dinner, it began to rain. ε…«δΈ€ Chinese ε…« δΈ€. 1 8 says 1 net z says .net c o 8 m

Xie Ning's hot face flushed after bathing, but the windows were closed. She sat in front of the window, Qinghe and Qingmei exchanged hands three times, and wiped all the moisture on her head with a thick cloth towel. Shainin pulled his head in front of him and glanced at it.

In the past few years after entering the palace, the head has been getting longer and longer, and when the day is the hottest and coldest, she always wants to secretly cut it shorter. It's too cold in winter and it's troublesome to wash, and in summer it's too hot, and I always feel that my head is long, hot and cumbersome.

It's a pity that I can only think about it. Xia He and the others were familiar with every part of Xie Ning's body, even more so than herself. This is no exaggeration, at least Xie Ning can't see his back, but Qinghe and the others serve her every day, and they can't be more familiar.

Later, she came to Fang Shang Palace again, and she really couldn't hide anything from her eyes.

If her head is really shorter for no reason, the emperor will also feel it.

Fang Shanggong came in with tea, Xie Ning saw her in the mirror, and greeted with a smile: "Fang Shanggong is here?" Sit. ”

Fang Shanggong took the cloth towel in Qingmei's hand and wiped her head, and said as if chatting about homely things: "Concubine Shen has a treat today, the scene is lively." ”

"Who have you invited?"

"It's a lot." Fang Shanggong said that there are several treasures: "Cao Shunrong, Gao Jieyu, Chen Jieyu, Li Zhaorong, Liang Beauty, Zhao Beauty...... There were three tables. ”

If there were six people at a table, that would be eighteen.

"Concubine Shen let people move a lot of flowers, and paid for the dining room to make a lot of crabs. Halfway through the meal, Gao Jieyu drank too much and vomited when she left Yanfu Palace. ”

Xie Ning put the untied earrings into the engraved tin box, and was stunned when he heard the words: "Is it?" Is she okay now? ”

"I didn't call the imperial doctor, I asked He Shanggong to take a look, but I was in a hurry to drink and I was a little cold."

Concubine Shen is such a proper and careful person, but she let Gao Jieyu eat half of the banquet and leave......

Fang Shanggong said as if inadvertently: "Concubine Shen has also taken out the money to be a concubine now."

Hu Rong's news inquiry was careful and thorough, since Fang Shanggong woke him up, he is now very disciplined, and the path he takes is different from Zhou Yuchen, but slowly he tastes more flavor from what he is doing.

These things are actually very interesting.

Some things that seem to be unrelated will be strung together by inconspicuous threads. There are also some very trivial and unintentional words, but the inside information revealed in them is very useful.

"Concubine Jin didn't go to the banquet yesterday, and I heard that the family sent a letter, which made her angry, and the faces of the palace maids around her made her burn with hot tea."

"What did the letter say?"

"I don't know much about this, it seems to mean that Concubine Jin's family has encountered some trouble on the way to Beijing, and it seems that they have suffered a loss."

Shainin shook his head.

She really didn't know what to say.

The title that the emperor thought about when he promoted them to the throne was all in vain. Where is Concubine Jin now? Concubine Shen was also careless.

She remembered the words she had heard before, as if there was a sentence "once in power". In the past, their prudence and duty were all expedient. Now I probably feel that I have already boiled out, and everything I do is uncomfortable.

The emperor came in from outside, and although there were people holding umbrellas all the way, there were still raindrops on his shoulders and on the hem of his clothes.

As soon as he entered the door, the emperor smelled a sweet aroma: "What kind of snacks do you eat?" It smells so good. ”

"Nope." Xie Ning stepped forward with a long coat, and Ying Ying bowed and saluted: "The concubine has just bathed, and eighty percent of it is this smell." ”

This sweet fragrance emanated from her head, and the emperor held her hand, lowered his head slightly, and sniffed lightly: "I am hungry when I smell this fragrance." ”

"The emperor wants to have some supper?"

The emperor smiled.

Bai Hongqi handed over a long scroll wrapped in oilcloth, and withdrew with interest. Here in Yong'an Palace, he is very discerning, and he never gets in the way in front of the emperor and the concubine. If the emperor summons other concubines to accompany him, then he will not be like now, serving the emperor to change clothes, serve tea, beat his legs and pinch his shoulders, even his two apprentices can't rob him.

Xie Ning took a new robe made by the emperor and changed it for the emperor, and the shoes on his feet were also replaced with a pair of soft mille-feuille cloth shoes. This kind of sole is particularly soft and comfortable to wear, the emperor has never tried it before, and after wearing it once, he can't do without it, and even prepared two pairs of such shoes in the Changning Palace. What else do you say that people can only be comfortable when their feet are comfortable.

"What is this?" Shainin picked up the paper scroll that was placed on the table.

"Two maps." The emperor said: "Speaking to Ji Yun today, the Lin family is now a rented house, and it is very inconvenient to live. Since I will stay in the capital for a long time in the future, I will not be able to live in a place where I will be too good.

Xie Ning was stunned: "That's ...... Not right, right? ”

She understood what the emperor meant, but Xie Ning also knew that there must be a group of people in Yushitai who were staring at this group of relatives and upstarts who had only gained power this year. If the emperor gives him a house, those people must have something to say.

"Don't worry, it's not a house, the two places I picked are not eye-catching, you see which one is suitable, help you get an idea, and when you go back to buy a house, Ji Yun will naturally go to the Chinese to handle it."

Xie Ning smiled and thanked the emperor first: "The concubine first thanked the emperor for his uncle's family." ”

Since it is not a mansion given by the emperor, then there is nothing to be afraid of. As far as Xie Ning knows, Princess Mingshou's party was raided a while ago, and there were many houses and fields among the confiscated property. The emperor now has a lot of money...... When I turned around, my uncle could go directly to the contract of the house with the map, and just pay a little money and deed tax symbolically.

Shainin wanted to laugh at the thought of this.

She spread out the two maps.

The two houses are indeed not big, one house looks at the top of the house written in the East Jade Lane, three before and after, from the map, the house is neat, the courtyard is open, it is very suitable for the Lin family to live. You must know that there are many Lin family members, the eldest cousin and the second cousin have already married, and there is also a cousin. In addition, the little uncle has not separated from the family, and he is about to get married. In this way, this house is still so-so and tight.

The other building is more spacious than this one, in Anrongli, at first glance, it is the layout of the eunuch's house, and it is also a three-entry courtyard, but with a small garden, and there is a small courtyard behind the garden. It doesn't look inconspicuous, but if you want to live in it, it should be more relaxed than the previous one.

The emperor said on the side: "These two buildings are in the inner city. If you live in an outer city, there are people of all religions and nine streams. Second, if you live in the outer city, it is far away from the court or the palace, and you will toss on the road back and forth. ”

Xie Ning pointed to the latter building and said: "The concubine should look at this more spacious, after all, the little uncle is about to get married, and there is another person in the family." ”

The emperor nodded and said, "I also look at this building better." ”

Xie Ning asked in a low voice, "This house is expensive, right?" ”

The emperor rolled up the map again and lightly knocked on her head: "Layman, isn't it?" In fact, this house is not expensive, but ordinary people are reluctant to sell, and you can't find someone to sell it with money. ”

Xie Ning really doesn't know much about the land price in the capital: "The emperor hasn't said how much it is." ”

"Well, a few hundred taels." The emperor said: "Ji Yun is not short of money, I also rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver, let him pay this money." ”

A few hundred taels sounds like a lot, but if you want to buy a house in the inner city and An Rongli, or such a big and good house, then the price is just like a joke.

"If the house is bought, it will be inconvenient for me and you to go and see it." The emperor smiled and said: "But Ji Yun is about to get married, Mrs. Lin is very anxious, and she will definitely take care of his family affairs before the New Year." What does that saying come about? If you have money, you don't have the money to marry a daughter-in-law for the New Year. When the daughter-in-law marries into the door, when she worships her ancestors during the New Year, she also has an explanation to her ancestors, and the ancestors will be pleased to see the prosperity of the family. ”

Xie Ning pursed his lips and smiled: "No, the eldest aunt finally has a big heart, and she can't cry a little bit during the New Year." ”

"When Ji Yun gets married, well, Ying Yan can go and drink a glass of wedding wine, and it can be regarded as a visit for me."

Xie Ning asked with some apprehension: "Is this appropriate?" ”

"What's out of place? I can't wait for a chance to go out of the palace to see how happy they are today. ”

That's right.

The emperor and Xie Ning went to see the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao.

The eldest prince played for most of the day today, and after he came back, he wrote the words he wanted to practice, and he memorized a book before he slept, and now he is sleeping very deeply. Liu Shanggong lifted the tent, and the emperor stood in front of him and watched for a while before turning around and leaving.

Princess Yuyao had also fallen asleep. At some point, she moved into two pots of chrysanthemums in her house, and as soon as she entered, she could smell the bitter fragrance unique to chrysanthemums.

The emperor frowned slightly, and asked softly, "How do you put the flowers here?" ”

The nurse who was serving Princess Yuyao was very frightened, and replied in a low voice: "The princess said she liked it, let me move in." ”

"You can't put the flowers in the house like this at night, take them out first, and then bring them in tomorrow during the day."

Princess Yuyao faced the bed and slept very quietly.

The emperor saw her head scattered on the pillow, stretched out his hand to straighten out some for her, and saw that the side of her pillow was slightly upturned, and he took it out with his hand, and actually touched a heavy big spinning top.

Xie Ning also saw it, and glanced at the emperor, both of them were a little surprised.

The emperor put the spinning top back for her, and the two came out of the house.

Xie Ning said strangely: "How can you put such a thing on the side of the pillow?" Don't be afraid. ”

"Just let it go, she can do it if she likes it." The emperor took her by his arms, and the two walked back through the verandah. The rain curtain was fine and dense, and the eaves rustled.

"These two kids, let you worry a lot more."

"If the emperor wants to say this, then the concubines will get so many benefits."

The emperor whispered in her ear and asked, "What benefits?" ”

What are the benefits?

It's the most precious thing in this palace, and you can't buy it with money and power.
