In the evening, the emperor went to Chunhuaxuan to visit Princess Yujue, but he didn't stay for dinner, stayed before and after about a cup of tea, and then drove to Yong'an Palace. Eighty-one? Chinese Network ?.

Xie Ning couldn't hide his thoughts in front of the emperor.

After dinner, the emperor first took the eldest prince to the small study, asked him a few words of homework, and gently encouraged a few words, and finished reading the folds he brought back, and returned to the dormitory at the second watch.

Xie Ning was sitting in front of the mirror combing her hair, she had been recuperating well after giving birth, and now she was as colorful as ink, and she was supple behind her back. When the emperor came in around the screen, she could see clearly from the large bronze mirror, turned her head sideways and smiled slightly.

The emperor walked behind her, put his hands on her shoulders, and felt that the little flesh she had grown after giving birth to a child and sitting in confinement had disappeared without a trace.

The world says that the heart is wide and the body is fat, in other words, most of the people who can't get fat have something on their minds.

"What do you think you're worried about today?"

"Today, the people from the inner palace supervisor showed me the account books of the past, which startled me." Xie Ning said softly: "It's just a Double Ninth Festival, and the cost is too much...... she was a little embarrassed to say this: "The concubine has never seen the world, and it is inevitable that she will be angry when she speaks and acts." ”

The emperor smiled: "I also thought like you." ”

"The emperor thinks so too? What time did it happen? “

"I've thought so since I ascended the throne, the funeral of the first emperor, and the enthronement ceremony, as soon as I calculate the cost, I feel a pain in my teeth."

Although Xie Ning didn't know how much it cost at that time, she now knew how Concubine Shu's funeral was handled, and the cost of the first emperor was only ten times that of the two of them, so this figure could be regarded as very amazing. There is also the enthronement ceremony, as soon as you hear the word ceremony, you know that the scene is not small.

"The first emperor was so extravagant and profligate, I looked at the inventory of the inner treasury and the national treasury at that time, and then thought about the money I wanted to spend, I really thought that this enthronement ceremony would not be done."

Xie Ning hurriedly said: "It still has to be done." After speaking, she remembered that it was ten years ago, and of course the emperor's enthronement ceremony was held.

"I had no choice but to instruct the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple, saying that I was grateful to the emperor for his deep sense of virtue and filial piety, and that the ceremony of enthronement was simple. Rao is like this, and he only saves about one-third. ”

Shainin comforted him: "That also saves a lot." ”

How could he really save it? The little bit of the province was "borrowed" by Princess Mingshou in two days, saying that she wanted to renovate the princess's mansion, and the queen mother responded without saying a word.

However, things have changed, and the emperor doesn't want to mention these things anymore. The matter of confiscating the property of Princess Mingshou's mansion has not been completed until now, without him, Princess Mingshou is too good at making money, not only limited to the capital, but also in the north and south, she also has a large number of granges, shops, and other businesses. The amount that has been seized now is worth the sum of the taxes paid in the past few years. As a rule, these confiscated industries are directly entered into the inner treasury, and it can be said that the emperor is now unprecedentedly wealthy, and he doesn't care about a small Double Ninth Festival.

In fact, Xie Ning has one thing, after the chaos of Princess Mingshou, there are several fewer families in the clan, and when the festival is about to be held, the number of this year is less than last year, although there are not a few high-ranking court officials, but they have all been replaced.

Before, Xie Ning thought about Princess Mingshou after the fact, and he didn't know how many people would be implicated in this matter, but when he looked at the account book, there was actually a benefit of saving money after this was confiscated. For a while, Xie Ning actually thought of "just copy a few more", but she herself was startled by this thought, and hurriedly recited a few sins and sins in her heart, and that terrible thought was far away and she didn't dare to touch it anymore.

Xie Ning thought about frugality, the emperor naturally wouldn't laugh at her, he also lived a poor life, of course, his poor life was not a lack of food and clothing, and he didn't suffer as much about money in the past few years, but it was a good thing to be able to save something.

The emperor hated the profligacy of the first emperor, and similarly, he also hated and despised Princess Mingshou's extravagance and extravagance. Concubine Shu has never been in tune with him at this point, and when she came to handle these festivals before, she always said "Don't lose the dignity of the heavenly family", but in the hands of Xie Ning, what she thought was that it would cost too much.

This makes the emperor like it even more.

"It's the first time you've hosted something like this, is there any difficulty?"

Xie Ning said honestly: "There are not enough people, Hu Rong can't afford such a thing, after all, he is still too young." ”

Lack of qualifications and experience is Hu Rong's flaw. Clans, courtiers, edicts, and kinship ties between families are not something that can be learned day by day.

"I also thought of this, there are two people in Bai Hongqi, what about yourself? Is there a reassuring candidate who is not familiar with it? ”

"The concubines don't have many acquaintances." This is the big truth: "That is, I used to be familiar with Zhou Yuchen and Zhou's father-in-law." ”

The emperor knew this person, nodded and said: "Bai Hongqi also mentioned him, he is an old man, and he knows how to advance and retreat, so let's condemn him." I said to Bai Hongqi, Ming'er will return him to Yong'an Palace, you have an arm. ”

Xie Ning was pressed by the emperor's shoulders and couldn't get up to thank him, so he had to sit down like this and said: "The emperor is so busy, he has to worry about the concubines here." ”

"You still talk about such things with me?"

Bai Hongqi has never been negligent in doing things, and Zhou Yuchen came to Yong'an Palace happily the next morning.

In the past, when he saw Xie Ning, he bowed and waved his hand to salute, but at that time, Xie Ning was in a humble position, and the six-grade talent was really not as high-ranking as a deputy chief eunuch.

This time, Zhou Yuchen knelt down and kowtowed. Because he will belong to Yong'an Palace in the future, Xie Ning is his serious master, and this time the number of etiquette cannot be saved.

Xie Ning asked Hu Rong to help Zhou Yuchen up, Hu Rong also smiled, and exchanged a look with Zhou Yuchen.

One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, but Hu Rong also knows that he really can't afford this mess. Zhou Yuchen is at least much better than others.

As for the future...... Then ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see.

Zhou Yuchen had a successful plan for coming to Yong'an Palace before, and he could get started as soon as the matter came. With his help in arranging, the original mess was immediately sorted out.

The day before the Double Ninth Festival, all the rewards in the palace had already been divided, and Xie Ning had one more thing to reward the family members outside the palace. The word reward made Xie Ning feel a little awkward in his heart.

But it still makes her happy to be able to deliver things to her family. Because of the festival reward, Ming'er's aunt can enter the palace, and the name is justified, because I want to thank you. It's a pity that Chongyang cake, chrysanthemum wine, brocade tonics, these things are ready-made, that is, she wants to make some needlework for her uncle and aunt, even if she makes a pair of socks, let her uncle and aunt see that she has indeed grown, and the things she makes with her own hands are more dedicated, but it is too late to do it.

I remember that my aunt said that she couldn't pick up needlework and wouldn't be a daughter-in-law in the future. The little uncle argued for her at the time, saying that as a housewife, why do you have to know how to needle and thread yourself? When the time comes, he will give a dowry, buy ten or eight skilled embroidery girls to marry, and he will not worry about needlework for a lifetime.

The eldest aunt was so angry that he grabbed the pillow at hand and threw it at him.

Now she is not worried about no one to do needlework, and she has learned seventy-seven eighty-eight. You can't do the troublesome things, but it's okay to do the simpler ones.

Now thinking about the first purse she made for the emperor at that time, she felt embarrassed on her face, and secretly wanted to find out the purse and destroy the corpse, but the emperor just didn't tell her where the purse went.

The gift list for other people's gifts is also sent to her one by one, and she can add or subtract one or two appropriately. For example, if there are elders over 70 years old in the family, they should add longevity sticks and shoes, and if there are children under the age of one, they will add daylilies and dogwood sachets.

This concubine is really not easy to do, and the work is not easy at all.

When she didn't have a favor and didn't have children, she had to live her life more freely and freely, thinking about what to eat all day long, and where to find books she hadn't read, and so on, and she could squander it if she had more time. But now there is no time to be idle from the time you open your eyes to the time you close them. Beating three children to eat and dress makes her unable to be idle, not to mention that most of the palace affairs are now handed to her, and people who are used to being idle have become busy at first, and they are even thinking about these things in their heads when they eat, and they are really a little unbearable.

She is just in charge of such a little thing, and the emperor is still in charge of so many things. Probably someone is born with talent and talent in this area, and she belongs to the kind of person who is not very open-minded.

But the emperor trusts her, how can she not let the emperor down.

Fang Shanggong was very intimate, comforting her and saying: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, you haven't touched these things before, of course you feel annoyed at first glance, wait for everything to be on the right track, and it will be good to do it well." When the time comes, you can dispose of it with your eyes closed. No one is born with the ability to do anything, so don't all have to learn slowly? After a pause, Fang Shanggong said again: "I heard that Concubine Jin beat the eunuchs who were close to her to go out of the palace to deliver a letter. ”

"To whom?"

"To her hometown. Concubine Jin's mother heard that she was long gone, and her father and brother were still there, and I heard that she wanted people from her hometown to move to the capital to live. ”

"What does the Han family do for a living?"

Concubine Jin's family background is not obvious, think about it carefully, since Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian are gone, there seems to be no woman from a high family in the imperial palace. Needless to say, Xie Ning himself is an official, her late father is just a talented person, and the ancestors of the Xie family have never produced any prominent figures, so they are a scholarly family. Concubine Shen was born as a maidservant, and Concubine Jin is no better than Xie Ning.

Fang Shanggong had known it for a long time, and said more gently: "I heard that there is some silk cloth and tea business. ”

That's the businessman.
