Chapter 39: It's Her Again
Zhang Mengjie saw the cloth bag on the table and remembered that yesterday because of the falling water, the osmanthus had not been dealt with! As soon as she pickled the osmanthus flowers, Murong Xue came.
When Murong Xue saw Zhang Mengjie, she said, "Girl, why didn't you tell the mourning family about such a big thing that happened yesterday?" ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Let the Queen Mother worry, Jie'er is fine." "Fengyin has been handed over, so you can't still call Murong Xue the mother, and it's not good to call me in front of her!
Murong Xue said: "I also said that it's okay, Fengyin doesn't want it, and I don't even want the queen mother of the mourning family." Tell the mourners what the hell is going on? ”
Seeing that Zhang Mengjie didn't say anything, Murong Xue said to Qingyu: "Qingyu, you say." ”
After listening to what happened, Murong Xue said: "Confused, the emperor is usually quite a clever person, why is this matter so confused." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "The emperor doesn't believe in Jie'er, maybe he hopes that Jie'er is that kind of person." ”
Murong Xue said: "You, the emperor just said that, why did you really hand over the phoenix seal?" ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "It's good to be light when you have nothing to do." ”
Murong Xue said: "Let you be wronged, the mourning family still likes you to call the mourning family's mother, it's not that you really can't become a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, we will be mother and daughter." Remember, in the future, you will still be called the queen of mourning! Come, call to the mourners. ”
"Queen Mother" Zhang Mengjie's eyes were a little red, and she was beaten upside down to save someone's life with good intentions, saying that she was not wronged, it was false.
Zhang Mengjie said: "Jie'er has a question for the queen mother, and I hope the queen mother won't blame Jie'er for being abrupt." ”
Murong Xue said: "What's the problem?" ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Jie'er can see that the queen mother actually cares about the emperor, why doesn't the queen mother let the emperor know?" ”
Zhang Mengjie saw that Murong Xue was a little sad and said, "I'm sorry, Jie'er shouldn't have asked." ”
Murong Xue said: "It's okay, the queen mother just doesn't know what to say." Because of the emperor's favor for the mourning family, there is only one child, the emperor. The emperor was born in the royal family and has unique power. The emperor is so smart that the emperor is pleased, and many things depend on him, and the mourning family is afraid that if the mourning family is like this, the emperor will act alone when he is in charge of Dragon City in the future, so how can he convince the ministers. Maybe the mourning family was wrong at the beginning, causing the relationship with the emperor to go farther and farther away. ”
Zhang Mengjie originally wanted to ask if Murong Xue would be willing to go with her if she left the palace one day, but seeing her remorseful appearance now, she felt a little inappropriate to ask now.
"Then the queen mother, can you tell Jie'er the emperor and father, who do you like?" After thinking about it, Zhang Mengjie couldn't help but ask.
Murong Xue glanced at her and said, "When the mourning family was with your father, they felt that it was a matter of course. The favor of the emperor made the mourning family feel happy. ”
Although Murong Xue didn't say it explicitly, Zhang Mengjie already had an answer.
Zhang Mengjie didn't receive the news that Long Tingxiao asked her to leave the palace and leave the Luanfeng Palace, so she lived peacefully day by day. But she didn't know that Long Tingxiao in the Qianqing Palace was not having a peaceful life, and the affairs of the court and the affairs of the palace overwhelmed him.
Didn't this just send away the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Household Books came again: "Your Majesty, is there a solution to the matter that Weichen mentioned in the court?" ”
Long Tingxiao said: "Aiqing, don't worry, there is a way for me to notify the household department." ”
Hubu Shangshu said: "It's not that the ministers don't give the emperor time, it's the vegetable farmers who don't give the court time." This vegetable is no better than other things, and the court can't ignore it. ”
Long Tingxiao said: "I know, if there is a way, I will tell you immediately." ”
When Hubu Shangshu heard this, he knew that Long Tingxiao hadn't thought of a solution yet, and if there was a court, it would be solved, but he was also forced to have no choice: "I hope the emperor will think of a solution as soon as possible." ”
Long Tingxiao rubbed his forehead and said, "I know." ”
Tobe Shangshu saw that he was interested in retiring here.
As soon as the head of the household department left, Qian San also came: "Your Majesty, this is the bill of this quarter's purchasing division and the withdrawal of silver taels in the next quarter, please take a look at it!" ”
Long Tingxiao said: "Let's put it first, I'll see later." ”
Qian San, who wanted to leave, hesitated again and again and said to Long Tingxiao: "Your Majesty, the servants heard that Longcheng has a bumper grain harvest this year, and vegetable farmers from all over the country have asked the court for a solution to the waste of vegetables this year, and the court is worried about this matter, but is there such a thing?" ”
Long Tingxiao said: "How do you know? ”
Qian San said: "The slave listened to the vegetable farmer who paid tribute to the vegetables in the palace, and just now I saw the Hubu Shangshu. If this is the case, the minion has a way. ”
Long Tingxiao was worried about this matter, and when he heard Qian San say that there was a way, he immediately asked, "What way?" ”
Qian Sandao: "You can dry the vegetables that you can't eat into dried vegetables, or you can pickle some vegetables." ”
Long Tingxiao didn't speak when he heard it, but Xiao Qizi said: "It's a good way, how did you think of it?" ”
Qian San said: "How could the slave think of such a good way, the slave was also troubled by this matter, and it was the queen mother who told the slave this method." ”
"It's her again"
Just now, the Ministry of Rites came to ask what kind of gifts the Ministry of Rites should prepare for the birthday of the wife of the patriarch of the Beishui Clan next month. The strength of Dragon CityIn addition to Dragon City's own Shu land, there are five tribes that submit to Dragon City. In addition to the Northern Water Tribe, there are also the Ximu Tribe, the Dongjin Tribe, the Southern Fire Tribe, and the Middle Earth Tribe.
Each clan not only has to pay tribute to Longcheng every year, but also has to pay five thousand taels of silver to Longcheng. The corresponding dragon city will also be indicated on the birthday of the patriarch and the wife of the patriarch of each tribe.
At first, Long Tingxiao was inexplicably asked by the Ministry of Rites, because in the past, Longcheng chose suitable things from the tributes of various clans as birthday gifts for the patriarchs and the chief's wife. Of course they don't pick anything from their own clan. Under his inquiry, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu told him that last month was the birthday of the wife of the Ximu patriarch and the wife of the Zhongtu patriarch, and the Ministry of Rites specially asked Zhang Mengjie to choose with them.
Zhang Mengjie asked curiously, what did it mean for them to choose a gift among the tributes? The Ministry of Rites told her that the tribute was the best thing for each clan, and Long Cheng shared the best with them, indicating that Long Cheng valued them.
Zhang Mengjie said that tribute is the best thing of each clan, and they dedicated the best things to Longcheng, expressing their respect and loyalty to Longcheng. To Dragon City, they paid tribute to rare things, which may not necessarily be for them, and they may not be willing to receive tribute from other clans to Dragon City. Dragon City is mainly engaged in gold, silver and jade, these are ordinary things for Dragon City, and the meaning is different for all ethnic groups. Love beauty is the characteristic of every woman, since it is for the patriarch's wife, it is better to create a suitable gold hairpin or jade hairpin to give to them.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu felt justified and really created two golden hairpins and gave them to the wives of the patriarchs of the two clans. Unexpectedly, the envoy who gave the gift came back and brought good news that the wives of the two patriarchs were very happy to receive the gifts, and in order to express their gratitude, the two clans would pay an extra thousand taels of silver every year in the future.
