Chapter Ninety-Six: The Warmth of Family

In the afternoon, he dealt with government affairs in the Qianqing Palace for a while.

But Zhu Youzhen's state is very poor, and his mood is even more irritable, but the official document on the eucalyptus table is always as high as a hill, and it is solved today and tomorrow, but the situation of Daming has not improved much, only worse and not worst.

He had long been exhausted by the toss.

Suddenly.

He threw away the imperial pen in his hand, got up and kicked the eucalyptus table in front of him over, and in the uproar, the music was scattered all over the ground, and the inkstone slammed on the floor.

"Liukou, Jiannu, Xujiazhuang, I review and fold every day, can I approve these enemies of the Ming Dynasty to death? What's the use of me being so diligent?! ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't hold back his manic heart and roared at filial piety.

The palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground in fright, trembling.

"Qi hurts the liver, Your Majesty take care of the dragon body!"

The eunuch Wang Chengen came over and persuaded: "If Your Majesty feels angry and depressed, you can hit the ministers a few times, kick the ministers a few times, and let out the anger in your heart." After speaking, Wang Chengen lay on the ground, pouted his buttocks, and placed it in front of the emperor.

"You-"

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and sighed: "Get up, big companion, how can I be a tyrant like Ji Xuan, I'm just a little bored, forget it, I won't review these folds today, I want to go to the imperial garden to relax." ”

"Yes, go to the Imperial Garden, and the Holy One wants to relax." Wang Chengen got up in a hurry and ordered to go down.

……

At this moment, the garden is full of flowers.

There was a burst of laughter from adults and children.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, ride slowly."

"There's a tree ahead, be careful of hitting the tree."

"Ouch oops~, the car has overturned, and the old slave is going to be crushed to death." Seeing that the prince's bicycle overturned, an old eunuch acted as a human cushion and endured a lot of pain.

"Hahaha, hahahahaha!"

The embarrassed appearance of the old eunuch made the three-year-old prince Zhu Cihong laugh, and continued to climb on the small bicycle with training wheels, riding extremely happily, seeing people hitting people, seeing trees hitting trees, leaving a string of laughter.

Even when he saw his father coming over, he glared at him hard, rushed towards him, and shouted: "Father, father is here!" ”

The appearance of this bear child made Zhu Youzhen's face rise, and he was about to reprimand, but when he heard his father's shout, he couldn't help but show joy, regardless of the pain of being knocked down, he directly reached out and hugged him, kissed him on the face, and said: "Cihong, don't hit people when you ride a bicycle, I have said it several times, why don't you listen?" ”

"Father, let me down, I'm going to ride a bicycle." Zhu Cihong, who was tiger-headed, struggled, because he drank milk every day, his strength was not small, Chongzhen couldn't hold him a little, so he had to put him down and let him continue to play with the car.

There are many plants in the Imperial Garden, the scenery is beautiful, and it is quite cool, so it is the most lively and popular place in the harem.

For example, the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan was accompanying Concubine Liu and Concubine Li to play horse hanging in the pavilion, and Tian Guifei, who was six months pregnant, was also on the card table, and there were a lot of silver dollars, copper, and light money (aluminum coins) in front of her, which seemed to be lucky.

There are also his concubines such as Concubine Yuan, Concubine Shen, and Princess, who also gathered together and played a card game called "Fighting the Landlord", which came out of Xujiazhuang in the south of the Yangtze River, and was also known as "Dou Dahu", and now the popularity is no less than that of the horse hanging.

Of course, there is also Queen Zhou, who is sitting on a stone bench under the shade of a tree, holding a baby girl in her hand, and is breastfeeding her child with a bottle, which is the person he wants to see the most every time he is in a bad mood.

"Zitong, you don't take care of the prince well, as the old saying goes, you see the old at the age of three, he is now riding a bicycle and crashing around, and he will be the king of a country in the future, how can he manage a country well?" Walking up to Queen Zhou, Zhu Youzhen blamed her.

"Your Majesty, you bought the bicycle for Cihong, not for me to let you buy it, and I have to take care of it at all times with my wife in my hand, where can I take care of the two children?"

Queen Zhou was not angry, and also sent a little jail *** Zhu Yujiao is one and a half years old, but her health has not been very good, a few months ago she was seriously ill, the imperial doctors are helpless, they all think that it is very likely to enter the footsteps of Princess Kunyi (Queen Zhou's eldest daughter, died early), Queen Zhou's heart is like a knife, wash her face with tears, and later it was Xu Jiazhuang's commercial representative Qi Chunnian learned of this, and immediately entered the palace and brought a name called ' Penicillin's miracle drug, Queen Zhou tried it with the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and after half a day, her daughter's high fever miraculously subsided, and the imperial doctors felt incredible.

And then in accordance with the Qi representative's 'drink more Xujiazhuang milk powder' method of recuperation, said that this milk powder added a variety of trace elements, can enhance the baby's resistance, although this milk powder costs sixty silver dollars a can, or the cost of wholesale price, but after drinking for a period of time, the daughter of the girl's body is really a lot better, although occasionally fever, but never had a serious illness.

The effect is so remarkable and magical, the prince Zhu Cihong naturally drank it, and soon grew a tiger head and tiger brain, and it became a full circle, which won the love of the elders such as Concubine Liu and Xi Li, and in addition, under the suggestion of Qi Chunnian, Zhu Cihong was also given a smallpox vaccine for a while, which is said to be 100% preventable from smallpox, because in the Xu family manor, the infectious disease of smallpox has been eliminated, and the infant mortality rate has been reduced to less than 1%.

Boom.

At that time, Queen Zhou was shocked by this data, and asked several times, Qi Chunnian insisted that this data was not wrong, and with the continuous development of medical technology, the infant mortality rate in Xujiazhuang can be reduced to 1 in 1,000 or 1 in 10,000 in the future, and it is certain that it will be done.

This is not only the Empress Zhou shocked, the entire harem was a sensation, and finally the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was also alarmed, and immediately sent someone to summon Qi Chunnian, the commercial representative of Xujiazhuang, and had a good exchange with him, and learned about the amazing strength of Xujiazhuang in the medical field.

And in the process of communication.

Chongzhen thought of all the children of the imperial brother Zhu Youxiao, and remembered that among his five children, except for the crown prince Zhu Cihong and the princess Zhu Yujiao, the other three all died early, and the premature death rate was as high as 60%, which was even higher than the 43% mortality rate of ordinary people's children.

Knowing these data, Zhu Youzhen couldn't wait to cut down all the quacks in the Tai Hospital! Leave no one, and in the future, use Xujiazhuang's smart doctors to replace those corpse vegetarian meals, which will only murder the incompetent people of the prince and the princess.

It's just that his decision to abolish the Tai Hospital was strongly opposed by the ministers and officials, and even admonished him to death, so Chongzhen had to give up.

However, in the future, in the palace, no matter how big or minor there is, the imperial doctor will not call it anymore, and would rather invite a doctor from Xujiazhuang than use those quacks who have countless bad deeds and the emperor can be cured to death if he falls into the water.

It's a bit far.

And hearing Queen Zhou's retorts and complaints, Zhu Youzhen, who knew that it was hard to take care of the child, consciously took care of the loss, and smiled curtly: "Yes, yes, the son does not teach, the father's fault, I am busy with government affairs on weekdays, and I neglect the prince's discipline, but I will take more time out in the future to teach him well." ”

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

Queen Zhou snorted, a white eye flew out of her willow eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth outlined a smug smile, this moment's style made Zhu Youzhen slightly stunned, and a fire rose in her heart, remembering that it seemed that she hadn't accompanied the queen for a while, so it was better to stay in Kunning Palace tonight.

And the emperor's appearance made Empress Zhou sneer even more proudly: "Idiot~"

"I, I......"

As if he had seen through his thoughts, Zhu Youzhen snorted twice, and actually made a red face, not knowing what to say.

"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"

"Your Majesty, there is a matter, the concubine wants to discuss it with His Majesty, but I don't know whether to talk about it," Queen Zhou suddenly said with a look ......of embarrassment.

"Say, between you and me, what can't you say." Zhu Youzhen said.

"My father wants to open a store to operate the goods of Xujiazhuang, but he is suffering from the lack of agent qualifications, so I don't know if he can borrow the channels of the royal store to buy some Xujiazhuang goods, open the store, and earn some household money?"

Queen Zhou said, for this matter, her father Zhou Kui has begged her several times, and the two brothers also annoyed her every now and then, asking her to do her filial piety as a daughter, instead of her own mother's honor in the world, enjoying all the wealth, but her father can only rent a house to live, wear cloth clothes, and is often regarded by neighbors as an old farmer, not a national father.

So she was really embarrassed, and wanted to talk to the emperor about it several times, but now that the state affairs are so difficult, and the emperor's life is not easy, why bother him?

It's just that since the establishment of a cooperative relationship between Huangdian and Xujiazhuang, the profit of more than 100,000 taels of silver per month has greatly improved the life in the palace, and even the most popular toilet paper can afford to be used.

Today, it was rare to see the emperor come over to relax, so she seized this opportunity and finally spoke out.

"Xujiazhuang?"

Hearing this word that brought him a source of trouble, Zhu Youzhen frowned, instinctively wanting to reject and refuse, but seeing the queen's face full of expectations, thinking of her usually gentle and virtuous her, it was the first time to ask for herself.

"Okay!"

After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "I agreed to this matter." He turned his head to Wang Chengen next to him and said, "Companion, you are usually responsible for the operation of the imperial store, my father-in-law, you can let someone help me." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers will arrange this, and they will definitely complete the filial piety of the mother."

Wang Chengen nodded and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Empress Zhou was about to jump up with joy, she smiled like a flower, let out a silver bell-like laughter, and leaned into the emperor's ear, whispering that she wanted to give him some 'surprise' at night.

As for what the surprise was, the queen didn't say it clearly, anyway, Zhu Youzhen was very much looking forward to it.

Turning his head and looking around, he saw that his son was playing, his daughter was sleeping, the elders were entertaining in wealth, and the concubines were harmonious, and there was no intrigue.

He secretly said in his heart: It would be good if time could stay at this moment forever, if this world only had Xujiazhuang's goods, and it would be better if there was no Xujiazhuang.
