The next few days.

The entire Xicheng Scenic Lake District has become a forbidden place.

Everyone knows that the grandson is hiding a beautiful girl here, but no one knows who this beautiful girl is.

Every day, Xiao Jia personally carried the food basket and delivered the food prepared by his family to the small courtyard by the lake.

This situation did not end until the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Looking at the man who stopped in front of the lakeside pavilion on Chinese New Year's Eve, I don't know where to get a carriage carrying Xu Miaojin slowly disappeared from sight.

Zhu Yunxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I finally paid off this debt.

According to the good-looking woman.

She will follow the Xu family's shipping ship south to Jiaozhi Road after the year, and will never respond to the sky again.

The Xu family has done a very good job in the past few years.

and several meritorious companies of Huaiyou are doing this shipping business, almost monopolizing the shipping business of the Ming Dynasty's southward journey.

However, they are all people who are on holiday with the country, and the rules that should be observed are still observed, and there are people in the household department who have been stationed in these shipping businesses for a long time.

Half of the profits were transferred from these hands to the Taiping Silver Warehouse of the Household Department.

It is precisely because these families can come up with so much money to pay taxes that the imperial court has the confidence and basis to collect higher taxes from more merchants.

The meritorious families who are on the same vacation with the country pay so many taxes, do you ordinary businessmen feel that they are more interested than others?

Even if the court doesn't speak, the Xu family and those Huaiyou meritorious families will be able to destroy the merchants who don't pay taxes or pay less taxes.

Look in the direction in which the carriage disappeared.

Zhu Yunxi had some mixed feelings in his heart.

When the good-looking woman stepped out of the house today, her hand was on the other party's wrist.

He and Shan Yongnian's master and apprentice have been familiar with each other for many years, and the matter of the trumpet is somewhat clear.

It's just that now Zhu Yunxi is a little unsure about the pulse he just touched.

In the end, it is not a happy pulse.

It can't be a few days of hard work, and there will be a happy pulse.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were a little solemn.

But the good-looking woman said that she was going to settle in Jiaozhi Road, and said that the Xu family had already built a big yard over there.

She just wants to have a child this time, and then stay in Cochin Road to raise the child by herself?

Zhu Yunxi sighed.

"Man, you still have to abandon the fact that the lower body occupies the head......"

He whispered a sentence, let out a long breath, and looked up at the Xicheng construction site, which had been completely stopped.

There is also a more sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the construction site tonight.

In the distance, on the side of the shack in the middle of the construction site, thick smoke was already rising.

I don't know which official on the project proposed it, but tonight the construction site even arranged for the little ladies of a Qinglou in Qinhuaihe to come over to perform.

I heard that this is also the money from the gold owner Daming Firm.

I heard that the merchant asked the silver horn to come forward again, and brought a group of musicians and dancing girls from the teaching department to prepare it as the finale.

It's no longer Zhu Yunxi's turn to deal with these things personally.

Since he left the palace and lived back to Taisun Mansion, the big and small things in the court have nothing to do with him, even the things on the construction site, and most of them are just a glance to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

I just set up a platform, and as for the prosperity on the stage, that's what other people have to do to form a game.

Zhu Yunxi rubbed his hungry stomach, and then lifted his steps and walked in the direction of the cafeteria.

By the time he was about to walk from Huanhu Road to the cafeteria.

Sun Gou'er and Yutian were already wearing cloaks and waiting on the side of the road.

Yutian stepped forward first and bowed his head: "Your Highness." ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded, looked at Sun Gou'er, whose face was tangled, and smiled slightly: "Sun Daban is here to ask for red envelopes?" Then you'll have to wait a little longer, and we'll send it together in the cafeteria later. ”

Sun Gou'er sighed and shook his head: "Your Highness, you should go back to the palace for today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Although I didn't go back on the last Chinese New Year's Eve, it wasn't a big deal. Tonight is different......"

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "It's not fun in the palace, if there are also little girls in the palace tonight and Qin Huaihe, then I will definitely go back." ”

This is clearly impossible.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the palace is at most to arrange a drama team to sing.

The royal banquet is still more serious after all.

Now it's not the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the monarchs and ministers can dance together, not to mention letting the dancing girls and Qinglou girls enter the palace to perform.

The corners of Sun Gou'er's mouth twitched.

"Your Majesty ...... there"

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "There are many people in the palace, wait a few days, I will enter the palace again to greet the old man." ”

His tone was calm.

Seeing that Sun Gou'er couldn't move when he was persuaded to do so, he could only nod helplessly, and sighed again at the end.

He took two steps back and bowed to Zhu Yunxi.

"Since His Royal Highness has made up his mind, the slave will return to the palace to resume his life."

Zhu Yunxi snorted and glanced at Yutian.

The other person nodded in understanding.

Sun Gou'er raised his head, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Slave and maid, I wish Your Highness a happy New Year." ”

Zhu Yunxi also smiled: "Happy New Year, Happy New Year." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a gold leaf from his sleeve.

Sun Gou'er didn't refuse, and bowed forward with a smile: "The slave and maid thank His Royal Highness for the reward, and the slave and maid retire." ”

After speaking, Sun Gou'er took Yutian and retreated.

Zhu Yunxi continued to walk in the direction of the cafeteria.

It's just that today's road seems to be destined to be not smooth.

Bypass Lookout Hill.

Zhu Yunxi saw that at the foot of the mountain, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing were squatting on a flat stone, looking at him with dripping eyes.

As soon as he got closer, he saw Zhu Huan coming out from behind the two.

"Brother Xi! Happy New Year! ”

Zhu Yunxi stepped forward and patted Xiao Twenty-three's head: "Happy New Year, Uncle Twenty-three." ”

Zhu Huan stuck to Zhu Yunxi's body as always, and his hands were dishonestly in his pockets.

In his memory, Zhu Yunxi will always have countless good things hidden in his pocket.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Yunxi with a faint gaze.

"You're not going back tonight?"

Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly: "Did you say that you would come together?" Just now, Sun Daban was in front of him, and he also said that he wanted me to go back to the palace for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. ”

Zhu Gaoji put his hands together, sniffed and said, "Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it's always a family reunion dinner, if you are not in Beijing, it is easy to say." Whatever the layout, shouldn't you go back tonight? ”

Zhu Yunxi smiled.

As usual, he came up with the same excuse: "There will be a performance in the palace tonight by the Teaching Workshop Division and the little lady of Qin Huaihe?" ”

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment.

Then he was a little indignant and said: "If you really want to see it, I will arrange it, not to mention a few little girls, you just want the entire Jiaofang Division and the little girls of Qinhuai River to enter the palace to perform, and I will do it for you!" ”

"That's not going to happen!" Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "How can you take the favor of the people and the joy of my family?" Rejoice with the people, and rejoice with the people. ”

Zhu Huan, who was holding Zhu Yunxi's thigh, raised his head at this time: "Brother Xi, tonight's prince's brother's year name is about to come out." Father said that this is a big deal. Are you really going to go back with us? ”

Zhu Yunxi took out a gold leaf from his sleeve and stuffed it into Zhu Huan's arms: "Put it away, don't let the ladies know." Save it yourself and use it for your daughter-in-law in the future. ”

A smile appeared on Zhu Huan's face, and he patted his chest with both hands: "I know!" I've saved a lot! ”

That's all Zhu Yunxi gave him from time to time in the past.

Zhu Gaochi saw that Zhu Yunxi should not speak his own words.

said on the side: "Don't you want to know, what era names have been prepared by the Ministry of Rites for the prince?" ”

Zhu Shangbing looked at the two of them and snorted heavily on the side: "Yongsheng, Chengde, and Shengwen, just these three." ”

Zhu Yunxi pondered for a moment.

The era names given by the Ministry of Rites all have their origins and meanings.

No matter which one it is, it can be regarded as close to the identity and status of the prince's father.

But after thinking about it, Zhu Yunxi said with a smile: "I think the prince will probably choose Yongsheng as the year name." Jiang Zhiyong is incomprehensible. The country will always be prosperous and prosperous, and this implication is most in line with the present. ”

As for the Chengde era name, it means to explain the order of royal succession, and it is more to praise the merits of the previous one.

After the founding of the country, Shengwen was disarmed and returned to the field, and he was no longer reckless, but the meaning of the royal culture was cultivated.

According to Zhu Yunxi's understanding of the prince's father, he will inevitably choose Yongsheng as the era name.

Impartial, neutral and peaceful.

Zhu Gaochi laughed at this time: "Then when I go back to the palace, I will talk back to the old man and uncle like this." ”

After finishing speaking, he dragged Zhu Shangbing and jumped off the stone.

Only then did Zhu Yunxi react.

He shouted that it was true that he had returned to the palace, and it was also true that he asked about the prince's father's year name.

The three of them walked down the road with a little brat.

"There are already rumors coming out, and they are planning to select local show girls."

"I've heard that several of them were pushed out by those people."

"Huguang Changsha Mansion, Jiangxi Ji'an Mansion, Zhili Wuxi Mansion, a total of three little girls."

Zhu Gaochi followed Zhu Yunxi's side and whispered about the recent events in the court.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Are they all those so-called women who cultivate and read people's families?" ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "Naturally, I said so, they all have innocent family backgrounds, and there are no officials in the court." However, it is inevitable that there are some in-laws and protégés. ”

Zhu Yunxi smiled and didn't speak again.

According to his early prediction, it was impossible for these people to really bow their heads and accept all the innovations of the imperial court.

Throughout the ages, even if these people lose power for a while, they will choose to lurk, and only when the power changes, will they jump out again to find an opportunity, re-enter the center of power, and take power.

A new Empress of the Ming Dynasty.

It's their new goal this time.

Zhu Gaochi said again: "Several academies in the south are also collecting and sorting out the articles of the uncles over the years, preparing to implement the royal road of the sage, and they are very powerful in private. ”

Zhu Yunxi stopped at this time and looked back at Xiaopang.

There was a little more confusion on his face.

"Do these people think that the person who cut off his head in the north of the 17th Mansion of Zhili Dao this time was not ordered by the prince? Or have they forgotten that under the order of the crown prince, the entire southwest Tusi system is now in name only, and it is almost completely abolished? ”

"It's just a temptation." Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said: "They always feel that if the Ming Dynasty changes the emperor, the direction of the wind above the court will change.

They also seem to have this self-confidence, and feel that as long as Da Bo ascends the throne, he will definitely abandon the reckless military force in their mouths at the moment, and begin to turn to the inner cultivation of the royal road, diligent government and peace with the people, and rest with the people. ”

Zhu Yunxi sneered: "Do they think that now Da Ming is fighting a reckless army?" Is it depriving the people of power? ”

"For thousands of years, not all of them have been like this......"

Zhu Gaochi said lightly.

Zhu Yunxi shook his head, looked at the canteen that had appeared in front, and turned his head to look at the three of them: "Go back, there are still so many people on the construction site, all of them have abandoned their families and stayed on the construction site and did not go home, so someone has to be here to accompany them for the New Year." ”

Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth, but he didn't say what was in his heart.

He wanted to say that even if someone had to accompany these workers to show that the imperial court valued them, there was no need for the grandiose grandson to accompany them personally.

It's just that he also knows that once Brother Xi decides something, even ten cows can't pull it back.

Zhu Gaochi stopped, and looked at Zhu Yunxi's back as he continued to walk towards the cafeteria, and he shouted.

"Happy New Year!"

Zhu Yunxi didn't stop, just turned his head, and replied with a chuckle: "Happy New Year." ”

"Happy New Year, Your Highness!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Your Highness Taisun!"

“……”

When he entered the cafeteria, Zhu Yunxi's ears were filled with the workers' voices of Happy New Year.

Although it is still Chinese New Year's Eve, it does not prevent people from starting to speak auspicious words at this time.

On the Jianghuai territory, it is always customary to regard Chinese New Year's Eve as the beginning of the new year.

Today's cafeteria is also very different from the past.

The red lantern hangs from the outside to the inside, and there is red fire everywhere you look.

A table had already been erected in the cafeteria.

The music class and dancers sponsored by the gold lord Daming Firm have also prepared in the temporary cubicle set up on the side.

The workers, who had been busy all year, walked past the cubicles.

Even if these people are busy all their lives, they probably won't be able to go to the restaurants and green buildings of Qinhuai River, let alone a good place for officials such as Jiaofang Si to sell their golden nests.

Xiao Jia saw Zhu Yunxi coming from a distance.

Hurriedly put down the work in his hand, put the rag on his shoulder, and trotted to Zhu Yunxi with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, I wish Your Highness an auspicious New Year, a new year, and a new atmosphere!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and patted Xiao Jia's shoulder: "There are red envelopes, but you have to wait a little later, you are indispensable." ”

Xiao Jia nodded again and again: "The little one will thank Your Highness first!" ”

His family has now begun to make contact with the Daming Yinhao.

The silver number and the business name are also reconciling and calculating, if Lao Jia and his family take down the food city in the middle of Xicheng, how much investment will be needed from decoration and operation to opening.

As long as these accounts are settled, the silver will be lent out of the silver account, passed from Lao Jia's family, and finally entered the account of the firm.

After that, this food city will be regarded as Lao Jia's family's master.

At this time, the people who were gathered in the back kitchen also gathered around.

Outside, firecrackers have gone off.

"Your Highness."

"Happy New Year!" (End of chapter)
